On today's episode, I'm joined by Dani Gonçalves, Co-Founder and CEO of Fantasy WSL. Dani's journey is a unique blend of creativity and technology. She started her career as a musician, moved to London to pursue her dream, and soon found herself immersed in the world of social media and digital marketing, even before it became the major industry it is today. After honing her skills with brands like Lush Cosmetics, Dani transitioned into the world of tech, working for a fintech startup, which is where she met her co-founder, Jimmy. Their shared passion for fantasy sports and a desire to make women's sports more accessible, having watched the Lionesses win the Euros, led to the creation of Fantasy WSL. In this conversation, Dani shares her fascinating background, the pivotal moment that inspired Fantasy WSL, and how she's helping to bring the women's game to new audiences - and in the process building one of the most engaged platforms and communities around women's football.

Lush Cosmetics es un caso muy interesante. Una marca de fuertes valores ecológicos y sociales. Buscando un referente, serían “el Patagonia de la cosmética”. Centrados en cosmética natural, se rebelan contra los test en animales, se definen como productos vegetarianos, con productos desnudos. ¿Una marca más usando los valores para conectar con los usuarios? Ni de broma. Se los toman muy en serio. En 2021 Lush anunció (y cumplió) que dejaba las redes sociales del grupo Meta (Facebook, Instagram) porque ls consideran negativas para la salud mental de los usuarios. Ni hablar ya de meterse en TikTok, claro. Y no invierten publicidad. venden en marketplaces? No en Amazon, pues no aprueba el compromiso ético que exigen a todos sus partners. Vamos a ver entonces cómo ha logrado esta marca inglesa crecer con estos mimbres hasta superar los 900 millones de facturación a nivel mundial, las 850 tiendas en más de 50 países, 15 de ellas, en España. Lo veremos con Morgane Pommier, la Digital Manager para España y Portugal de Lush Cosmetics.

Today we are learning from Rowena Bird, Co-Founder of Lush Cosmetics. A business that started 27 years ago in Poole, the UK. Since 1995, Lush has been a trailblazer in the cosmetics industry. From inventing bath bombs and creating new, innovative products to fighting animal testing and ethical campaigning, it's come a long way since its humble beginnings. Lush's journey is ongoing. And as it continues to grow and evolve in ways that keep breaking new ground in the cosmetics industry, it's a journey that is so interesting to dig into. In this episode we chat about the importance of hiring people smarter than you, building organic growth and word-of-mouth into the business, and what led LUSH to make the drastic decision to come off social media, as well as a golden tip when it comes to the financial side of things. When it gets to the people piece, Rowena shared some real wisdom. Talking about the people you're building this with, the people you're facing every day, it's important to genuinely like and respect them. Not just for your sake, but for all parties involved. At the end of the day, if you're not looking forward to talking to someone you might not be opening up to issues in the business. And that's obviously an issue. In everything from your co-founders, to your investor relations and the people you hire, business continues to be all about relationships and people.

“L'argent peut nous rendre meilleur à condition que nous désirions devenir meilleur, car il ne faut pas oublier qu'il ne s'agit que de l'un des éléments de l'équation du bonheur” Doriane Baker Pour le dernier épisode de cette saison je reçois l'entrepreneuse à succès, qui n'est rien d'autre que LA référence du Customer Care en France: Doriane Baker. Dans cet épisode nous avons échangé sur : ♦️ Son parcours de femmes et d'entrepreneure et son chemin de construction (et de déconstruction !) qui lui ont permis de choisir en pleine conscience la femme qu'elle souhaitait devenir ♦️ De son expérience salariale fondatrice chez Zadig & Voltaire puis chez Lush Cosmetics , 2 entreprises qui lui ont permis de nourrir et déployer son plein potentiel pour devenir la professionnelle & la cheffe d'entreprise qu'elle est aujourd'hui ♦️ De la nécessité de cesser d'opposer salariat et entreprenariat, et de les envisager plutôt comme deux statuts s'adaptant à nos envies professionnelles et tranches de vies ♦️ De sa vision de la vie, du business, de l'argent et du bonheur (spoiler: l'ultime réussite n'est plus un CA à 6 ou 7 chiffres mais la liberté: celle de choisir sa voie, sa vie, d'utiliser son temps sur les choses qui importent et bien entendu la liberté financière) Cet épisode parle également de cette nouvelle génération de femmes qui redonnent son véritable sens à l'argent et incarnent un entreprenariat libéré des codes masculinistes de l'argent à tout prix (au prix de l'humain, de l'environnement & de la justice sociale) que l'on retrouve dans la culture du "Hustle" et le concept de la "Golden Race" Le livre évoqué est: “The Subtil art of not giving a F*ck” de Mark Ronson Si cet épisode vous a plu n'hésitez pas à le noter 5
Go inside legislation that would needlessly harm and kill thousands of animals. It would be a cruel end to the push for cruelty-free cosmetics. Andrew Binovi, director of government affairs for the Physicians Committee, and Brandi Halls, chief ethics officer at Lush Cosmetics, join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll for an urgent discussion about the massive impact this legislation would have. Despite this legislation being done in the name of consumer safety, you will learn how Lush and cruelty-free cosmetics are created without animal testing while still meeting and exceeding safety standards! — — — Contact Your Representative & Make Your Voice Heard https://bit.ly/StayCrueltyFree — — — Lush Cosmetics Lush Prize: https://lushprize.org Website: https://www.lushusa.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/lushcosmetics — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Barnard Medical Center Appointments https://bit.ly/BMCtelemed 202-527-7500 — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm — — — 21-Day Vegan Kickstart App iOS: https://bit.ly/VegKStrt-iOS Android: https://bit.ly/VegKStrtAndrd Web: https://www.pcrm.org/kickstart — — — Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.

How can you be an activist in a world of crisis? In this episode Amisha talks to Tamsin Omond, a communications and campaigns strategist, inspirational speaker and author. Tamsin has consistently shifted public conversation on the climate and ecological emergency. They have organised a number of high profile protests, co-founded a Suffragette inspired environmental campaign - Climate Rush, coordinated Save England's Forests coalition, founded a CIC - The Momentum Project - that mobilises the community surrounding London City Airport, led global corporate campaigns as Head of Global Campaigns at Lush Cosmetics and been a founding member of Extinction Rebellion. They are also active in queer uprising; a theatre maker and the author of two books - ‘RUSH! The Making of a Climate Activist' and ‘Do Earth: Healing Strategies for Humankind.' Amisha and Tamsin speak about climate activism and how environmental movements have changed over the past decade bringing new demographics into taking radical action on climate. Tamsin shares their ingenious strategical approaches mobilising communities in impactful environmental campaigns. They reveal their collaborative methods of addressing vast crisis and injustices impacting our global communities. They talk about the trauma that exists in movement spaces due to overexertion and how activists can grow sustainable movements by prioritising living a balanced life. Tamsin reveals the intimate and public unfolding of their trans non-binary identity in a transphobic culture. They emphasise the importance of connecting with supportive community when facing indoctrinations and impermeable walls of society when we live with invisible identities. They share their alignment with their true identity and the liberation, joy and sense of belonging it gifted them. We learn that kindred community is an essential ingredient for our future survival. Tamsin recommends that making connections, talking to people on our doorsteps and growing friendships with someone unexpected can shape trusted networks that increases our resilience and possibilities for growing self-sustaining community strategies.

El Instituto Mesoamericano de Permacultura (IMAP) - the Mesoamerican Permaculture Institute - is a not-for-profit coop that started in 2000 in San Lucas Tolimán, on the shores of the spectacular Lake Atitlán in the Mayan highlands of Guatemala. It was created by a group of Maya Kakchiquel with the desire to use native seeds, permaculture, traditional Indigenous knowledge and education, to create social healing after 36 years of armed conflict that wiped out hundreds of communities and displaced millions from their land. I remember being inspired by IMAP in its early years, when I was living in Guatemala. And late last year, I was contacted by the organisers of a major global award advising that IMAP was one of its winners. I had arranged to speak with IMAP coordinator Inés Cuj, only to find twice the privilege when founding director Rony Lec joined us as a translator. Rony is one of the world's leading experts in permaculture and Mayan ancestral knowledge. Rony's father was killed by the army during the war, and he has recently moved to Canada to secure the safety of his family. And, he says, to get his hands back in the soil. Inés succeeded Rony in the lead role, and Rony credits her with bringing so much of what IMAP needed to take its vital next steps. From empowering women and youth, to developing the viability of IMAP itself, along with that of the many farmers and communities with whom they work. With thanks to Clare Carlile and team at the legendary Ethical Consumer magazine in the UK for setting up this conversation. Turns out they'd been inspired by the podcast and wondered if I'd be interested in becoming a media partner of a major global award they'd helped create with Lush Cosmetics a few years prior. It's called the Lush Spring Prize, and it offers a £200,000 fund and other support for regenerative projects around the world. This time they had over 400 applications, a 60% jump on last time, from inspiring projects spanning 81 different countries on every continent except Antarctica. In her initial email to me, Clare cited two award winners, just to give me a sense of it. And as fate would have it, IMAP was one of them. This conversation was recorded online on 1 March 2022, Australian time, with Inés in Guatemala and Rony in Canada. Title slide image: María Inés Cuj (sourced from her social media).

In today's episode, I'm sharing with you 5 ways to create the perfect relaxing bath. On these cold winter nights, there's nothing I want more than to slip into a sea of bubbles and bath salts. I wanted to record this podcast episode to share with you some of my favorite bubble bath products, and my bathtime practices that pick up steam over the winter months. 2:00 - #1: Bath salts! Adding bath salts means I'm able to give my muscles a bit of a break and refresh. My favorite bath salt brand is Kneipp, especially the Kneipp Goodbye Stress Rosemary and Mint Mineral Bath Salt is one of my all-time favorites for everyday use. It's an incredible blend of essential oils and helps to clear your mind and quiet overactive thoughts. 4:00 - #2: Bath bombs from Lush Cosmetics, especially Rose Jam, which is perfect for sensitive skin. It includes rose oil, rose absolute, lemon oil, geranium oil, and shea butter. My second favorite bath bomb from Lush is the Lemon Crumble bubbleroon which has an uplifting citrus-y scent and is packed with fair-trade cocoa butter, Sicilian lemon oil, and a shea butter center that conditions and softens dry skin. 7:00 - #3: The ‘Be Well' set from Thirteen Lune comes with a candle, bath/body oil, and a luxe bath salt. I use the full set to create the ultimate pampering experience through this edit of products. As part of the set, you get a Satya + Sage meditation candle infused with amber and clove. It also comes with the Senteurs du' Orient bath salts and the Elixa Bath + Body serum. The body serum leaves behind a luscious, dewy texture without feeling greasy on the skin. Thirteen Lune is an eCommerce destination designed to inspire the discovery of beauty brands created by Black and brown founders. They do a great job giving each brand a platform to engage a wider audience, and I adore the company so much. 9:40 - #4: Babo Botanicals 3-in-1 Eucalyptus Remedy bubble bath! I keep a family-size bottle of this stuff in my bathroom at all times. It does triple duty as a bubble bath, body wash, AND shampoo. Babo has a lot of fragrance-free products, which are perfect for children with sensitive skin. The eucalypics remedy helps to soothe and calm my skin. For everyday comfort, the Babo Botanicals Eucalyptus Remedy is something I can't imagine going without. 11:25 - #5: Alaffia Everyday Shea Bubble Bath! It serves ups a creamy, moisturizing bath full of bubbles. Founded in 2003, Alaffia continues to redefine hte natural products industry through its values in beauty, empowerment, and equality. The brand boasts dozens of products from body washes to cleaners, lotions for babies, calming balms, everything. In 2018, Alaffia increased access to its products by adding 2,500 stores nationwide. I like to buy my Alaffia via the Allure Store in New York City.

In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Laura Youngson and Ben Sandhu from Ida Sports, who have created the first football boot specifically designed for women’s feet. Only a couple of years old, they have grown from an idea on the back of a napkin and an early prototype they called the ‘frankenshoe’, to selling out of their first range, getting stocked in Dicks Sporting Goods and having Isabel Dawes kick a goal in the AFLW grand final wearing their shoe. In this chat, we hear how Ben and Laura used LinkedIn as an outreach tool, why their first crowdfunding campaign failed miserably and how removing barriers to entry for women in sport is their ultimate goal.Links from the episode:Ida SportsLaura’s Ted Talk (Mount Kilimanjaro)Nike BrooksRebel SportAthlete’s FootIsobel DawesBrisbane LionsIda B WellsDicks Sporting GoodsSoccer.comRichmond AFLSignet (sponsored)Shopify Plus & Peter Sheppard (sponsored)Questions answered:What are some of the key differences between men and women’s needs in a sports shoe?How did you go about designing a women’s football boot from scratch?What are some of the most significant barriers to entry for women in sport?This episode was brought to you by… SignetSome would say that turning traditional plastic packaging tape into strong, eco-friendly paper tape is impossible.

Welcome to Stores: The Next Generation, a new six-part podcast series produced in partnership with Critizr, which provides retailers with a solution to engage, understand, and build loyalty with local customers. In this series we examine the future for physical retail in the post-pandemic world.We will talk to major retailers and experts in store design and technology to discuss the role of the physical store and how it will change along with major shifts in consumer behaviour, which will result in us shopping more consciously, more carefully and more locally.In this episode, Lauretta Roberts Editor in Chief of TheIndustry.fashion speaks to Claire Constantine, global retail director, and Sandra Byrne, Liverpool store manager at British-based, ethical beauty retailer Lush. Lush is a perfect example of a global brand that acts local. Its stores are located in neighbourhoods where the brand becomes embedded in the community. The company leverages the local know-how of its store managers, such as Sandra, to inform the individual strategies of each its stores and to advise the business on local engagement activities. As you will her having an expert on the ground such as Sandra has meant that Liverpool is now home to the world’s largest Lush store.Critizr has produced a spotlight report for the Fashion and Beauty market, called The New Retail Journey, that can be downloaded from TheIndustry.fashion’s home page and the findings of this report have driven the content of these podcasts.
Lush Cosmetics is not afraid to stand for what they believe in and what they are against. In this episode Brandi Halls, Brand Director North America, shares with us how Lush lives by their values, how they have grown a cult like following.
