Artist Jasmine Cho paints images of both well-known and forgotten Asian Americans. But she does not use paper or canvas to create her art. She uses cookies.艺术家 Jasmine Cho 描绘了知名和被遗忘的亚裔美国人的形象。 但她不使用纸或画布来创作她的艺术。 她用饼干。Cho, who is also a baker, said the sweet treats “are the perfect platform for education, activism and healing…”Cho 也是一名面包师，他说这些甜点“是教育、行动主义和治愈的完美平台……”The 39-year-old Korean American artist calls herself a “cookie activist.” She said she believes her art comes from a feeling of not belonging when she was young.这位 39 岁的美籍韩裔艺术家称自己为“曲奇活动家”。 她说她相信她的艺术来自于她年轻时没有归属感的感觉。Cho has gained fans over the last several years for her detailed cookie faces. Actors Awkwafina, Daniel Dae Kim and Tamlyn Tomita are among those who have praised her cookie designs.在过去的几年里，Cho 因其精致的曲奇脸而赢得了粉丝。 演员 Awkwafina、Daniel Dae Kim 和 Tamlyn Tomita 都对她的曲奇设计赞不绝口。The city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where Cho has lived since 2009, even honored her with a “Jasmine Cho Day” in 2020.Cho 自 2009 年以来一直居住在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡市，甚至在 2020 年为她设立了“Jasmine Cho Day”。Back in 2016, Cho was busy making cookies for her online bakery, Yummyholic. She decorated cookies with faces for a friend's birthday party. The cookies received attention on social media. Soon, others wanted her cookies, too.早在 2016 年，Cho 就忙着为她的在线面包店 Yummyholic 制作饼干。 她为朋友的生日聚会装饰了人脸饼干。 这些 cookie 在社交媒体上受到关注。 很快，其他人也想要她的饼干。Cho grew up in Southern California and New Mexico. She said she noticed when Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders were not represented in movies, television shows or even history books. It made her question her own sense of belonging in America.Cho 在南加州和新墨西哥州长大。 她说她注意到亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民在电影、电视节目甚至历史书中都没有出现。 这让她质疑自己在美国的归属感。“That was always a pain point for me growing up,” said Cho. “So, I kind of always had this question: ‘I wonder if I could use this point of joy for me to address this pain point?'"“这一直是我成长过程中的一个痛点，”Cho 说。 “所以，我总是有这样一个问题：‘我想知道我是否可以利用这一点快乐来解决这个痛点？'”Cookies, she said, were the answer.她说，饼干就是答案。A few months after making her first cookie faces, Cho held her first showing. She made cookies of Asian American Pittsburgh natives like actor Ming-Na Wen. She also made one of Leah Lizarondo, the founder of 412 Food Rescue. The organization decreases food waste in over 25 cities in the U.S. and Canada by giving unsold food to people in need.在制作第一张曲奇脸几个月后，Cho 举办了她的第一场演出。 她为像演员温明娜这样的亚裔美国人匹兹堡本地人制作饼干。 她还制作了 412 Food Rescue 的创始人 Leah Lizarondo 之一。 该组织通过向有需要的人提供未售出的食物，减少了美国和加拿大超过 25 个城市的食物浪费。Lizarondo remembers how surprised she was to find out that Cho had made her into a cookie face. For the Filipino American, the honor was not a waste of food.Lizarondo 记得当她发现 Cho 把她变成了一张饼干脸时，她是多么的惊讶。 对于这位菲律宾裔美国人来说，这份荣誉并不是浪费食物。“I shared it as widely as I could as I was so proud to be among the people she did cookie portraits of,” Lizarondo said by email.Lizarondo 在电子邮件中说：“我尽可能广泛地分享了它，因为我很自豪能成为她制作饼干肖像的人之一。”Cho said, “It felt like a sort of superpower.” She had an “aha moment” of how to use her great power with great responsibility.Cho 说：“感觉就像一种超能力。” 她有一个“顿悟时刻”，知道如何在承担重大责任的情况下使用她的强大力量。Cho spends between four and six hours on each cookie face. She draws the cookie face by hand, fills it in with icing and then lets it dry.Cho 在每个饼干表面上花费了四到六个小时。 她用手画出曲奇饼的表面，填上糖霜，然后晾干。Her art has taken her to interesting places. In 2019, she wrote and drew images for a children's book, Role Models Who Look Like Me. In the last few years, she has made over 20 virtual and in-person appearances at universities, schools and other gatherings. She also leads cookie-decorating workshops.她的艺术将她带到了有趣的地方。 2019 年，她为一本儿童读物《长得像我的榜样》创作和绘画。 在过去的几年里，她在大学、学校和其他聚会上进行了 20 多次虚拟和面对面的露面。 她还领导饼干装饰工作坊。Her favorite thing is when young Asian Americans feel empowered by her work.她最喜欢的事情是年轻的亚裔美国人感受到她的工作赋予了力量。“They tell me things like, ‘I learned more in your 15-minute talk than I have in my whole class that's about Asian American history,' or something like that,” Cho said.“他们告诉我这样的话，‘我在你 15 分钟的演讲中学到的东西比我在整个班级里学到的关于亚裔美国人历史的东西还多，'或者类似的话，”Cho 说。One of Cho's cookie faces is an image of Betty Ong, a flight attendant who died in the September 11 terrorist attacks. Ong's niece found Cho's creation on Instagram and contacted her.Cho 的一张饼干脸是 Betty Ong 的照片，她是一名在 9 月 11 日恐怖袭击中丧生的空姐。 Ong 的侄女在 Instagram 上找到了 Cho 的作品并联系了她。Cho said, “For a family member to reach out and just thank me for sharing her story in the way that I did ... reminding me of the tenderness that comes with this work, the importance of it."Cho 说：“对于一个家庭成员伸出援手并感谢我以我所做的方式分享她的故事......提醒我这项工作带来的温柔，以及它的重要性。”

“Food waste happens at every stage of the supply chain so there are many instances that we can, ourselves, rescue.” —Leah Lizarondo   Food shortage is a pressing issue affecting people of all countries and cultures across the globe. Sadly, it's not necessarily due to lack of food production, but the excessive waste that contributes mostly to this problem.    Food Rescue Hero is a non-profit organization that is tackling this problem head-on. Hence, it is dubbed as the Door Dash of food surplus. Food Rescue Hero collects and redistributes excess food from donors and distributes it to partner charities, schools, and community programs.

Leah also shares pitching tips to convince potential investors, how to set up a model for an organization, and how our narrative can change our whole conversation.  Meet Leah: Leah is the Founder of Food Rescue Hero, a food recovery technology platform used in over 25 cities. The platform has redirected over 100 million pounds of perfectly good food from going to waste toward feeding people experiencing food insecurity. Prior to founding Food Rescue Hero, Leah worked in technology, focused on investment, market, and brand strategy for early-stage companies, and in brand management for global FMCG.   Leah has won numerous awards for her work including Fast Company's World Changing Ideas Award in 2020, Carnegie Mellon University's Distinguished Alumni Award in 2022, the Vital Voices Global Leadership Award in 2020 and WE Empower UN SDG challenge in 2019, a global award for women social entrepreneurs.

Solving hunger is something we've talked about on this show before. Back in June, we talked with Leah Lizarondo about the organization she founded to help the food insecure. Talib sat down with Mick Ebeling, the founder of Not Impossible, a social innovation lab and production company and his Managing Director Adam Dole, who is also the cofounder of Bento, a mobile platform they created to end hunger. They discussed why Not Impossible strives to solve the world's absurdities and how Bento brings dignity to those who experience food insecurity.

A dumpster might be full of food, meanwhile, a neighbour’s fridge is empty. That paradigm frustrated Leah Lizarondo. Armed with a tech background and food industry experience, she realized she could be part of the solution. Her social enterprise is Food Rescue Hero.

Food Rescue Hero gets volunteers to pick up excess food from restaurants and grocers and deliver it to people who need it. Founder and CEO Leah Lizarondo shares her journey creating a tech tool that says it has rescued some 50 million pounds of food.

‘Leap and the net will appear.’ Vital Voices network women Jessica Hubley, CEO of AnnieCannons, and Leah Lizarondo, co-founder of Food Rescue Hero, sat down with Alyse Nelson to discuss the power of pivoting. In both of their careers, Jessica and Leah each took leaps of faith, changing their trajectories to make an impact in their communities. Despite uncertainty and barriers, they were able to transform fears of failure into positive learning experiences that helped them create new and exciting opportunities for themselves, for those without food and the trafficking survivors they serve, and for the women who follow after them. Listen in to hear Jessica and Leah reflect on the way that failure taught them how to create successful initiatives in the future. To learn more about Vital Voices, visit www.vitalvoices.org.

Our guest today is the founder of Leaf Shave, a company that is changing the way people get a great shave at the best value. Crazy birds, without any further ado, I would like to welcome Adam Simone. Episode Highlights[01:18] How did your sustainable journey start? [02:50] There is an amazing organisation called Leah Lizarondo (https://www.linkedin.com/in/leahlizarondo/)  and she has built a network backed by technology and the goodness of people that has rescued more than 4 million pounds of food, and they do this by cutting off perfectly good food that would end up uneaten and in landfill and connecting them with people in need of food. [03:22] We won’t stop until we have replaced every disposable plastic consuming razor on earth with a Leaf razor. [04:51] The history of shaving is quite interesting it dates back thousands of years to when early humans were using tools and shells and even things like sharp teeth to remove hair from their head and face. It is not a new invention. [05:11] Double edge razors which are what many today would kind of consider classic shaving tools that perhaps your grandfather used or maybe you have dabbled with in your sustainability journey. Those were invested and patterned more than a hundred years ago by and some people don’t know this but by King Camp Gillette. [06:34] What modern razors brought to the table over safety razors is a comfortable easy shave with multiple blades and a pivoting head. What we lost was the quality and the durability of materials. [11:56] We want that who when someone holds it, because it is a high-quality tool and something that I think people should be happy to own. because it is quality and it will last. [12:13] It has a lifetime warranty. If you have any issue ever drop us a note. [12:20] To keep our customers happy, we are learning a lot. We are still very young we have only been commercially available for about six- month ones as of the recording here, but we are in our next production of razors right now and we continue to learn and improve and listen to our customers. [13:14] We have got three more finishes coming in our next production run. [13:50] Maybe like four years ago I bought a pack of hundred of them for $11 and I am still using that pack. They will last a long time. [14:02] From a storage perspective a footprint of a hundred pack fits in the same space size a four standard cartridge from Bic shave or any of those shave clubs. [15:51] What can we do with our blunt blades? [18:46] We decided to go to Kickstarter and in 30-days we raised a $110,000 on our Kickstarter campaign. [20:25] If you are on the fence of trying us, give it a go. If we are not your jam, if it is not working for you, we will take it back within 30 days. [21:03] What has been one of your most important decisions that you have made around mama earth? Final Five1.What is one social media platform that you follow? (https://www.instagram.com/trashisfortossers/?hl=en) (https://l.instagram.com/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fpackagefreeshop.com%2F&e=ATM7EAXChZg_MfVNPs8U0so_LyfGlErvWWqljExmpWSJr5UH3jgJ0t2gTqAgMpHH8w8ZPQMcVAzBAbOl) 2.What is your hope for mama earth going forward? I hope that more folks learn about the small decisions that they can make to do personally to impact their footprint on Mama Earth and you know I am very happy that I am making the choices that I am making and honestly I also hope that there are a couple of people listening out there that are entrepreneurs at heart that hear my story and are encouraged to make that idea that they have for a more sustainable solution or product or service to make that a reality because it is as simple as starting.  3.What advise can you give our crazy birds this week to help out mama earth?  Think about the small choice that you can make but also think about how you can leverage a talent or an...

Get with the people who are a couple steps ahead of where you want to be, and learn from them. In this episode, I’m joined by Aaron Watson. Aaron and I were introduced via Zak Slayback, who came on for episode 25. Like Zak, Aaron is also passionate about the education, self-education, and self-improvement scene. He graduated from the University of Pittsburgh and went straight into an insurance sales job. Pretty soon into it, he realized that it wasn’t for him and left to start a podcast called “Going Deep with Aaron,” where he’s done over 250 episodes. If you’ve ever thought that your job just wasn’t for you and that you wanted to go do something else that’s more exciting and rewarding, Aaron is a perfect model of how you can do that. We cover a wide range of topics, including: Starting struggles with entrepreneurial endeavors Aaron’s lessons from over 250 podcast guests Finding the drive to work harder than your peers Advice for growing your content and growing a podcast Self-educating yourself outside of college Aaron’s pivotal book recommendations And much more. Please enjoy, and reach out to Aaron on Twitter!

Hit the Bullseye - The Voice First Movement: Alexa let's talk…The voice of Amazon's Echo is more than that to a lot of people. “She'll know the answer” or “I like playing trivia with her” are common phrases from those who own one of the more than 3 million Echo's sold. Some even say “good morning” and “good night” to Alexa.When Amazon released the Echo in 2014, they didn't expect people to talk to it as if Alexa were a person. Now, they're doing everything they can to make “her” more and more like one of the family.This Voice First movement led by Amazon, Google and Apple focuses on conversation-based systems that could change how we use technology.Amazon tracks and studies all interactions with Alexa and saw an opportunity in our desire to treat Alexa like a person. The company is working to give Alexa a likable personality, making her or its voice more human and incorporating witty responses. Google and Apple are also striving to make their voice interfaces more personable. Each company's ultimate goal is to create an emotional connection with users.Those connections will only increase because any device with a chip can also have a microphone. Think about that. Just about any device could connect to or work with another one. Voice First technology could become part of our every minute, every day activities.Amazon's Echo was built on and continues to leverage Marketing Intel. The company also knows and listens to its target markets, creating a more human voice that people relate to.

Cut The BS - Managing Interruptions: When a co-worker drops in and asks to see you, how often do you say ‘No?' Apparently not very often if the results of a study by Basex, a New York research firm are any indication.The study estimates interruptions consume approximately 28% of the average workday, resulting in $588 billion of lost productivity. It's bad enough we stop what we are doing to handle an email, telephone call, text message or ‘drop in' meeting. What's worse is it can take up to 50% more time to complete tasks when you switch between them rather than complete one thing at a time.Obviously, managing interruptions well is essential to maximizing productivity. So how can we improve?First, we need to focus on our focus. We are not built to stay on task. Typical workers set aside whatever they are doing and start something else once every three minutes, so we have to make a commitment to focusing on the work at hand.Time management experts often suggest scheduling ‘uninterruptible time' during which the phone goes to voicemail, emails are ignored and your staff and co-workers know to avoid the dreaded ‘drop in' meeting.Another tactic involves managing interruptions so they are kept to a minute or two so you can help others but not completely lose focus on your current project.You might also take the advice of Jim Collins, author of ‘Good to Great' who says that the most effective people he has studied have a “stop-doing” or not-to-do list. Collins believes this is more important than a to-do list because the ‘not-to-do list' frees up time and energy for more productive activities.Regardless of the tactics you choose when managing interruptions, communicate your approach to your staff and co-workers. Let them know your most productive ‘work alone' times and therefore when not to interrupt. And, ask them to tell you their preferences and show them you listened by respecting their time.Guest: Leah Lizarondo is at the forefront of the food revolution in Pittsburgh.
