This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   Success Cards are so new that right now, the primary marketplace for them is via Etsy, says John Uke, the brand's Creator and Founder.   "Etsy has a much more esoteric audience," John says. "I could see this being very big for business gifts. It's hard to shop for people, and you don't want to buy somebody's book because they're probably not going to take the time to read the whole thing. But this is very beautiful. It's on your desk. They'll be reminded of you. It's very approachable. It's beneficial, whether you are a new entrepreneur or a veteran."   John says his original thought was that the cards would benefit those starting a business most. He's discovered that all levels of entrepreneurs are using them.   The cards were designed during the COVID lockdown, giving John more time to work on the project. Future projects include increasing distortion for the cards. John is also planning a people-matching brand and a tool to work on creating and joining networks.   In Part 2, John talks about:   * Why the cards are selling on Etsy. * The attraction and similarities to Tarot cards. * The organization of the card topics. * Future plans unrelated to Success Cards. * Plans for increased distribution. * Mulling over ideas for future decks of cards.   Join Ramon Vela and John Uke as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on Success Cards, visit: https://success.cards    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   Gold foil, a magnetic flip box, and beautifully crafted designs. It might sound like a collector's deck of superhero souvenirs, but it's 101 cards with prompts to plan, manage and grow a business, says John Uke, Creator, and Founder of Success Cards.   "All of them have different unique illustrations relevant to different lenses through which you can analyze your business," John says.   He says that one critical limiting factor to growing a business is the ability to ask the right questions. The best-known thinkers - philosophers, professors, and coaches - spend most of their time asking questions.   "I've just spent hours on every card compiling the best questions relevant to so many facets of business that you might not even comprehend or think to look at, and that questions within those facets that you might not ask yourself," John says.   Growing a brand as an entrepreneur is second nature to John, who grew up in a family of entrepreneurs. His undergraduate work in college was also focused on entrepreneurship. After school, at a coding boot camp, he came across a deck of cards called "The Art of Game Design: A Deck of Lenses." He was hooked and realized the need for a business-oriented set of cards.   "I've done a lot of different things in my life, but I think this is the best idea I've ever had, and it's not so complicated," he says. "It's just taking something that existed for gaming and being like, Why doesn't this exist for business?"   One of the challenges of creating the deck is ending the process at 101 items.   "At first, it was challenging getting up to 101, and then it was challenging reducing it to 101, where it has a painful process to decide what are we cutting out and what order do we put all these things in?" John says.   In Part 1, John talks about:   * Gratitude for the freedom he enjoys, something that's come into greater focus with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. * A 100-foot overview of his brand. * His background in entrepreneurship. * How a game design card deck caught his attention. * A look at some of the cards.   Join Ramon Vela and John Uke as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on Success Cards, visit: https://success.cards    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

Today, we're talking about abortion.    Because as women, men, all genders, all nationalities, all abilities, all income levels and beliefs, we don't talk about it enough.   Or seemingly ever.   Even as a Canadian, I was overwhelmed with emotion this week following the US Supreme Court's decision to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that made abortion a constitutional right.    The news and ensuing wave of emotions rippled across borders and even continents.     I immediately thought of the millions of American women and child bearers whose lives will be seriously threatened because of someone else's beliefs.   I immediately thought of my friend Sara.   Sara Silverstein is a Breathwork Facilitator, Aura Photographer & Female Sęxuality Specialist who had an abortion at 16. Like many others, she has carried the emotional weight of both the decision and the abortion itself, but wrapped much of it up in a veil of stigma and unease.   Now, Sara and many others are starting to speak up publicly about abortion in hopes to inform, educate and instil compassion and understanding in everyone.   Sara, together with James Oliver Welsham, “The Compassionate Man” and host of The Honest Bloke podcast are here for a special episode of Room To Grow™ “After Dark” which was recorded in front of a live audience and included Q&A.    This incredibly candid and detailed conversation about abortion features both male and female perspectives and personal experiences of abortion, as well as view points from Canada, The United States and The United Kingdom.   It's not a lecture.   It's storytelling.    A chance to speak, listen and open our minds.    “I think this is going to be the beginning of another uprising.” - Sara Silverstein   In this episode, we're talking about:   Why this decision in the US affected so many people around the world Abortion statistics, including first-time abortions and the number of women/people who abort pregnancies The arguments against abortion as a “method of contraception” Why abortion rights have a greater impact on ethnic minorities, BIPOC, transexuals and other marginalized groups Why we need to start having more open conversations about abortion First hand abortion stories from both Sara and James Why men struggle with the topic of abortion The role men play in supporting women/childbearers when it comes to pregnancy and abortion What men can do to educate themselves on abortion and the physiology of pregnancy Why politician need to become more educated and aware of trauma How people of other nationalities can support American women who may lose their ability to safely access abortion The influence of capitalism on banning abortion Why this may be the start of an uprising around abortion rights An America and around the world   I want this podcast to open the floodgates for you to feel like you have somewhere safe to discuss the topic of abortion. If you were unable to join this recording live, I encourage you to reach out with questions, stories and compassion.    I have also provided helpful abortion resources below.   Finally, please share this episode with someone you know who needs to hear it.   We need to keep talking - and learning from others - about abortion and our fundamental human rights.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   Entrepreneurs wanting to build a brand that's going to last should make as many decisions as possible based not on a first-order principle but a second-order principle, says Tony Drockton, the Founder and "Chief Cheerleader" of Hammitt, a brand that focuses on luxury handbags and small leather accessories.   "A first-order principle is 'I do this, and this is what happens.' A second-order principle is 'I do this. This is what happens. And then, later on, this is the result of that happening, the long-term effects," Tony says.   He says that many handbags in America are made with the first-order principle.   "Second-order principle is the luxury brands of Europe," he says. "That's what Hammitt is built upon. ... It's a longer-term play for us to build something that never falls apart and breaks down. But what it does is it builds that long-term trust so that they have more and more of their friends and more of our bags in their closet."   Hammitt has been in business for 15 years; a longevity Tony attributes to editing.   "I think for any entrepreneur, the secret to longevity is saying no - a lot," he says. "The secret to a great brand in fashion is to edit, edit, edit. ... Believe it or not, we are five times larger than we were just four years ago in size, and our collections are half the size of what they were."   Despite the downturn in the economy, Tony sees nothing but sunshine ahead for his brand.   "I feel secure. (Hammitt) was built during the worst of times. This is our time," he says. "This is when a brand like Hammitt becomes the staple because we're not luxury. We're not so gaudy that people would be embarrassed to wear it when going through recessionary or tough times."   In Part 2, Tony talks about:   * The thought processes of first-order principle and second-order principle. * How quality affects the relationship with retailers. * A closer look at Hammitt's products. * The production and design process. * Why editing is essential to longevity. * Why the downturn in the company might not hurt Hammitt. * Where to find the brand's products.   Join Ramon Vela and Tony Drockton as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on Hammitt, visit: https://www.hammitt.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   Hammitt is on a mission to become the most outstanding new luxury handbag brand coming from the United States, says Tony Drockton, the company's Founder and "Chief Cheerleader."   "Our simple philosophy is that we build the most beautiful, luxurious product that also incorporates the highest level of functionality so that we're the go-to handbag or accessory that our fans will carry when they travel when they go out for some coffee with friends, when they go to the office or for the evening to have a little fun," Tony says.   The brand is 15 years old and is now carried in more than 950 retail stores around the country, along with two of its locations in Southern California. (A third is about to open.)   Tony says he moved to SoCal from Ohio with the goal of incorporating his love of art, architecture, and entrepreneurship.   "The fashion industry just fit," he says.   In Manhattan Beach, he was introduced to a fashion designer looking for an investor.   "I fell in love with her designs, spoke to some people in the community that also loved them," he says. "I thought, let's just do this thing."   Tony says fear and failure are vital parts of an entrepreneur's life - it's just how you deal with them.   "If you choose the life of an entrepreneur - everyone needs to understand - you choose to fail," he says. "Nobody really can call themselves an entrepreneur if it's successful the first time they do something. That's just luck."   The key is turning the fear of failure into positive energy.   "The purpose of fear - going back to the earliest times - was fight or flight. It was to make you aware of a danger of a predator," he says. "As an entrepreneur, the danger of the predator can come in many ways, and the fear to me, that's the battery. That's the charge that keeps us all moving."   For Hammitt, Tony says the factor that has set the brand apart is the focus on the brand experience.   "We want everyone to walk away from meeting Hammitt, touching a Hammitt bag, encountering a Hammitt fan - just really understanding what we're all about and what we're all about is we're this little brand out of Hermosa Beach, California."   In Part 1, Tony talks about:   * Gratitude for a Father's Day gift from his young son years ago that he still displays today. * The company focuses on building the brand one relationship at a time. * His background in art, architecture, and entrepreneurship. * How to stare down fear and failure. * The focus on the brand experience. * Why making a high-quality product is better for the environment.   Join Ramon Vela and Tony Drockton as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on Hammitt, visit: https://www.hammitt.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   Brands just getting started with influencer campaigns don't necessarily need to budget a ton of funds toward the cause, says Yash Chavan, Founder of Saral, a tool designed to help emerging DTC brands build profitable influencer marketing campaigns.   Yash offers a six-step strategy for getting started, beginning with coming up with three to five core hashtags. Start by searching for related hashtags on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.   Then using those hashtags, find influencers with a following of between 3000 and 20,000. From those, scale your list down to 100 influencers. Email the prospects - don't DM them because those messages get buried, Yash says.   Make your pitch a personal one - don't copy and paste a message, he says. Be specific in your request. Pitch your product. Offer an affiliate deal. Send them the product. And then track the results.   "Everything's done for free: Email is free. Prospecting is free. Talking to them is free. Zoom is free," Yash says. "The barrier for entry is literally in your head. So get out of your head and start executing."   When Yash began building Saral, he talked with dozens of e-commerce founders along with influencer marketers, and everyone said they wanted the same thing - a platform. While Yash says all brands can use the Saral platform, emerging brands are the focus for now.   "We want to build for those and grow with those," says Yash, who's had a passion for early brands.   "One of my first jobs was at an early-stage startup. I was, I think, the fifth or the sixth employee there," he says. "A brand is more human. You relate to the founder, you relate to the team, to the message of the brand. So I think it's an exciting market for me personally."   Yash has words of wisdom for entrepreneurs like himself and those building a brand.   "Stop waiting for help or funding ... God helps those who help themselves," he says. "If you're an e-commerce company, you first need to go to your customers. See if there's a need for it. See if you can validate the same outcome without building a tool or without building a brand out of it. But then just start with the small steps, and you'll eventually compound that into something much bigger."   In Part 2, Yash talks about:   * Six steps to starting a social influencer program. * What parts of a social influencer program can be done for free. * Why building relationships with influencers will yield oversized results. * What the onboarding process is like. * Advice to fellow entrepreneurs.   Join Ramon Vela and Yash Chavan as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on Saral, visit: https://www.getsaral.com/    If you want to get more best practices around influencer marketing, Yash is offering a “Free ebook” for listeners: https://offers.getsaral.com    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps. Simply search for “The Story of a Brand,” or click here to listen on your favorite podcast player: Listen now.   *   This episode is also brought to you by Sendlane.   If all DTC companies were forced to turn off Facebook ads, they'd be dead on arrival. Why is that?   They over-invest in paid acquisition and under-invest in retention.   Luckily, Sendlane makes it easy to solve this problem. Sendlane is an E-Commerce Customer Experience Platform helping hundreds of DTC brands to tighten their existing customer relationships.   Sendlane automates personalized customer experiences through Welcome and Abandoned Cart workflows, SMS, Deep Data Integrations with Shopify and WooCommerce, multi-store functionality, and much more.   Plus, they don't stand for lazy customer support.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   Saral is an influencer marketing tool that can find any influencer's email as long as they're on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube, says Yash Chavan, Founder of Saral. It's designed to help emerging DTC brands build profitable influencer marketing campaigns while avoiding losing money on traditional social media campaigns.   Before founding Saral, Yash worked as a growth consultant guiding product-oriented brands. As part of that work, he also found success in helping execute influencer marketing programs.   "I'm a marketer at heart, so I want to help other marketers and founders who want to do marketing and make influencer marketing easier for them," he says.   Truth be told, Yash says he's not comfortable with the term "influencer."   "If I become dictator, I'll just remove the word influencer from everybody's dictionaries because I hate the word influencer," he says. "It has a connotation of the kind of person who is just famous on Instagram for posting hollow content or something like that."   Yash prefers the terms "creator" and "ambassador" because it better describes the action of creating content focused on a brand.   He says that keeping track of creators is a tough chore, and existing tools in the market are expensive. Plus, the current tools privatized transactions over relationships.   "Saral is right now the only tool on the market that puts the relationship front and center as opposed to the transaction of it," Yash says. "I like to call it relationship-focused influencer marketing, where you look at the creator as a person first and not just like a one-time salesperson."   Yash insists that small brands can do influencer marketing similar to more prominent brands. It's an essential tool because traditional practices - like Facebook ads - no longer have the same impact.   "(If) Facebook was working as well as it was in 2016, 2017, then we won't be having this conversation," he says. "But I think because these bad ads and cheap clicks are now no longer cheap, people have to look at these other, more organic, more human forms of marketing. And that is why influencer marketing is shining."   In Part 1, Yash talks about:   * Gratitude to the Internet for providing him access and opportunities from his home in Mumbai, India. * An overview of the Saral influencer marketing tool. * His background as a growth consultant. * The difference between an influencer and an ambassador. * Why the need for a tool like Saral. * The downfall of Facebook ads.   Join Ramon Vela and Yash Chavan as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on Saral, visit: https://www.getsaral.com/    If you want to get more best practices around influencer marketing, Yash is offering a “Free ebook” for listeners: https://offers.getsaral.com    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

Today on the podcast we're excited to have Liz Melville make a guest appearance. Liz is a Facebook Ads and Launch specialist with an impressive list of carefully selected VIP clients that would make most business owners envious. She helps her clients achieve excellent launch results through strategy and paid traffic. The issue with paid traffic is that it doesn't always perform as expected, and when that happens the blame occasionally falls to Liz instead of the ads themselves, and when you're talking about launches that are worth multiple millions of pounds, it can become a lot of responsibility very quickly, which is why it's been paramount for Liz to get her legals in order.   In this episode Suzanne and Liz discuss what happens when ads don't work out the way they're intended to, and how Liz has gone about protecting herself against that scenario. They also share their thoughts on trademarks, and why it's important to trademark not only your business name, but also your courses or programs in a timely manner. Finally Liz shares her concerns around defamation and reputational damage that could arise, and whether or not it would spell the end of her business. If you work with paid ads, or run a business in which you are the face of the business, this is definitely an episode worth listening to.   In this episode: [1:22] Suzanne asks Liz to share the names of some of the high profile clients she's worked with, and how she came to win James Wedmore as a client. [6:36] Liz shares how she works with clients one to one, but also the 2 programs she runs to help clientele with their overall launch strategy, and then taking it a step deeper to focus on the paid traffic element of the launch. [8:25] Liz talks about how the world of paid traffic, and the unpredictable nature of paid ads, has led her to not only appreciate contracts and agreements, but to see them as a crucial and necessary step in any professional relationship. [10:11] Suzanne relates that most legal issues come from a place of the client and the provider having mismatched expectations, and how to ensure that doesn't create an unpleasant legal scenario in your business.  [13:53] Liz shares a story about a trademark she obtained, and how it really changed the way she viewed and thought about trademarking not only her business name, but also the names of her programs and courses. [20:50] Liz talks about her fears around defamation, and reputational damage as possibly the worst thing that could happen within her business, and Suzanne gives her insights on protecting yourself against someone who has decided to run a campaign against your brand.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   Know one knows better than yourself what your brand or business is about, says Jose Alvarez, Co-founder of Abbott NYC, a company that makes clean fragrances inspired by beautiful destinations.   "I think the most powerful brands are authentic," Jose says. "In today's world, a lot of that authenticity comes from the founders and their beliefs and values."   Jose recalls the highs and lows of the brand's launch, calling it an "emotional rollercoaster." Meditation proved to be the key to coping with the pressure.   "I meditate in the mornings every day," he says. "I have a journal where I journal different thoughts, different ideas. I think having a co-founder or even a person you trust is advantageous. They can bounce ideas off. I found that that's helpful."   Forward momentum - "action" - is one of the most important things not only in business but in life in general, Jose says.   "It's quite easy to just stay in your head and get down on things," he says. "But nothing gets done in the world, your life, or your business if you don't take action."   Abbott NYC began with four fragrances: Mojave, Telluride, Sequoia, and The Cape. Jose says he likes to focus on a memory for a specific location when coming up with the scents. It can take three to six months to develop a new fragrance.   In Part 2, Jose talks about:   * Advice for fellow entrepreneurs starting a brand. * The importance of staying even-keeled. * How meditation helped with the stress of the startup. * The importance of having a trusted friend or co-founder to bounce ideas off of. * A look at the brand's products. * The process of creating a scent.   Join Ramon Vela and Jose Alvarez as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on Abbott NYC, visit: https://abbottnyc.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   Jose Alvarez, Co-founder of Abbott NYC, started the brand because he believes nature is healing. The company makes clean fragrances inspired by beautiful destinations.   "Urban life is very stressful, and nature provides an escape for us to reconnect with ourselves," Jose says. "I also believe in the power of fragrances to transport you to a particular place, a memory, and I think we've all experienced that. When you do experience it, it's something very visceral, something very emotional. So I wanted to start a line of fragrances that transports you to the natural world."   Jose grew up in Nicaragua, surrounded by what he calls "very virgin nature." He fell in love with beaches and surfing in his home country. When he moved to New York City, he found that he came to miss nature, so he began traveling across the country and fell in love with the natural destinations around the U.S.   "All these destinations that I fell in love with ended up being the inspiration behind each one of our fragrances," he says. "I also wanted to ensure that we were protecting it - leaving Mother Earth in a better place than without it. So the first thing we did was ensure that all of our ingredients are sustainable."   For example, for the brand's sandalwood scent, a green synthetic ingredient is used instead of actual sandalwood, a tree that takes a long time to grow. Likewise, recyclable parts of grapefruit are used for the brand's Montecito scent. Even the products' glass containers and boxes are recyclable.   Another Abbott commitment is to avoid any ingredient that could adversely affect consumers.   "This means no parabens, no phthalates, no hormone disruptors, no carcinogens," he says. "If you look at most perfume ingredient lists, they'll just put all the perfume in alcohol. We list our full list of ingredients. We believe consumers should know what they're putting on their skins."   The idea for the fragrance line began with his travels. Jose and his co-founder Michael Pass used trips to escape their high-pressure careers. A shared passion for fragrances led them to connect the dots.   In Part 1, Jose talks about:   * Gratitude to his first boss out of college, which gave him a shot working on Wall Street even though he lacked the traditional Ivy League credentials. * Our emotional connection to nature. * His childhood in Nicaragua and how moving to New York changed his perspective. * How he fell in love with natural destinations around the United States. * The need to make products with sustainable ingredients. * The brand's work with charities. * The need to make scents unisex. * How he and his co-founder turned travel into a brand. * How their career success to date helped them gain an advantage with potential investors. * How he re-engaged the creative side of his energy.   Join Ramon Vela and Jose Alvarez as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on Abbott NYC, visit: https://abbottnyc.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

Our classmate Susan Anslow Williams is an Episcopal priest in the Detroit area. She has spent her time since ordination helping parishes in transition. The past several years have been particularly challenging for Susan's flock and in this episode Susan shares here journey. Here is a bit about Susan's like, from her website https://revved4change.org/ I'm The Rev. Susan Anslow Williams, an Episcopal Priest with more than 25 years' experience in ordained ministry. My renewed purpose in life and ministry is to help congregations navigate changes, often unwelcome but happening everywhere and to all places of worship. We'll be turning change into opportunity for intentional, Spirit-led transition. In my case, we'll be following the words and example of Jesus Christ — within “the Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement” (our Presiding Bishop's term for The Episcopal Church). I'm originally from the Great Lakes state of Michigan; born, raised, and now returned to the Detroit suburbs. I left for college, seminary, and my first 20 years of ordained ministry, but now I'm back along with my husband Eric and our two fabulous daughters. In addition to my years of church experience, I have received a certificate from the ecumenical Interim Ministry Network. This means I've learned and used a variety of practices to evaluate, reframe and energize a congregation over 12-18 months. This is most often called an “interim” or “transition period,” as the church prepares for new, long term leadership or missional identity. Any size congregation can benefit from one or more of the methods led by trained interims like me.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   It's a mix of ingredients - and omission of others - that go into the products from BelliWelli, including cutting down on short-chain carbs that are poorly digested, says Katie Wilson, Co-founder of BelliWelli, a brand that makes snack bars for those who suffer from digestive issues.   Katie says that making the products compatible with the Low FODMAP diet and plant-based and gluten-free are the top three goals.   "I knew that if we could achieve all three, I could look you in the eye and tell you you will have this bar, and you will not suffer gut consequences later," she says.   Katie says the products aren't gimmicky - there is no hero ingredient. There's a base dough into which new flavors, fruits, and chips are added. She adds that some ingredients - like caramel - aren't on the Low FODMAP diet, so that's not a flavor the brand can offer.   To that end, the brand has both taste testers and gut testers.   "If 20 people can't stomach it right with sensitive guts, we can't launch that product because that's part of the promise," she says.   The brand's core flavors as of today are lemonade, chocolate, cinnamon swirl, fudge, brownie, birthday cake, and a blueberry muffin. Some additional flavors are exclusive items; once they sell out, they don't always come back.   In Part 2, Katie talks about:   * The composition of the brand's products. * Why some flavors, such as caramel, aren't options for BelliWelli. * The lack of a big "hero ingredient." * The need for gut testers. * The core set of flavors. * A tour of the website. * Where you can find the brand's products.   Join Ramon Vela and Katie Wilson as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on BelliWelli, visit: https://belliwelli.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   BelliWelli makes snack bars and treats that are safe for those with stomach or digestion issues, says Katie Wilson, Co-founder of BelliWelli.   Stomach issues are more common than most people think, Katie says.   "My favorite thing to say to anyone is go ask five people in your life willing to be kind of honest with you if they suffer from daily gut issues or gut issues, period, and you will be shocked," she says. "It's going to be at least four out of five. I can promise you that."   Katie's career didn't begin in the food marketplace or anything related to digestive health. Instead, she developed gut issues during her career path working for matchmaking companies. Traditional treatments didn't help, so she turned to help in Facebook groups and found tens of thousands of people just like her. Eventually, her husband came to the rescue and hired a food scientist and dietician who were charged with developing the perfect IBS-friendly chocolate chip cookie. A brand was born.   "It seems like we found the right product at the right time and the right community," Katie says.   Katie says many of the critical decisions have come from the gut-challenged community, including the name of the business, the brand's tagline, and every flavor that BelliWelli has launched to date.   "I tend to think of our customers like friends. I never find myself using the word customer," she says. "I think of them in terms of how would I treat my best friend?. Every customer deserves to be treated that way."   In Part 1, Katie talks about:   * Gratitude to three executives at Nordstrom, including the CEO, who took 30 minutes to go over an idea that Katie pitched them when she was working there as a teenager. * A 100-foot overview of the BelliWelli brand. * Her career background. * How her gut issues began and her reaction to traditional treatments. * The development of the brand's first cookie. * How the community plays an essential role in many brands' decisions.   Join Ramon Vela and Katie Wilson as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on BelliWelli, visit: https://belliwelli.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

In 2018, Eliza created HogTree, a farm business that works to offset livestock feed costs through diversified orchards and tree cropping systems. Today she raises pigs for charcuterie in a young, diversified orchard containing pears, apples, persimmons, chestnuts, oaks, and mulberries.

Dr. Shoshana Levin Fox breaks down the mistakes we've been making with kids on the autism spectrum. This is a fascinating conversation about psychology, autism, and the power of play to reach kids where they are. Shoshana Levin Fox, EdD, is a Jerusalem-based child psychologist, play therapist and autism specialist.  At the world-renowned Feuerstein Institute between 1992 and 2017, she found that conventional autism assessment methods overlooked underlying causes and disregarded the children's strengths. Inspired by the work of Professor Feuerstein and DIRFloortime originators, Drs. Wieder and Greenspan, she decided to apply creative, interactive methods of  assessing and treating children considered autistic,  The dramatically positive results of this unconventional clinical approach impelled her to write the recently- published  An Autism Casebook for Parents and Practitioners:  The Child Behind the Symptoms.  Shoshana has received many academic awards, including a SSHRC Post-Doctoral Fellowship. She has shared her wealth of experience in autism in numerous publications and conference presentations worldwide.  Connect with Shoshana Facebook https://www.facebook.com/shoshana.levinfox Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-shoshana-levin-fox-1002a57/ An Autism Casebook A Review of An Autism Casebook https://www.sdjewishworld.com/2021/12/14/autism-is-frequently-misdiagnosed-israeli-psychologist-asserts/ *** Connect with me.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   Upcycling is a crucial business practice at TBJ Gourmet, a specialty food brand that makes spreadable bacon jam its claim to fame.   "I would say the majority of food companies that are doing upcycling started doing it because they were on a mission to help combat climate change or save the planet," Michael Oraschewsky says. "For me and TBG, it started as a way to reduce costs."   Pork belly is cut into pretty, uniform shapes when used as bacon for consumers. That leaves out the odd piece here and there - just as tasty when it's cooked but not as appealing in looks as traditional bacon. Those pieces get used for bacon jam,   "I would argue that that pork is probably the first upcycled animal to be domesticated to eat things that we didn't want to eat and turn it into delicious, delicious meat," Michael says.   For TBJ Gourmet, it's just an economic mindset but an environmentalist mindset that makes upcycling an essential part of the brand's strategy.   "For me, it was always more than just the climate battle because I was raised not to waste food," Michael says. "My grandparents on my dad's side were raised in Europe during the wars in the 20th century. They were often times with very little or no food. My grandfather always told us this story about how his most memorable birthday gift was a farmer who gave him an egg that he was working for. He gave him an egg, and he shared it with his mom and his sisters. And his mom made a meringue out of the white and then got the yolk, and they enjoyed the meringue from this one egg. So we weren't allowed to waste food."   Michael says TBJ's finances got through the COVID pandemic just fine. Though restaurants were closed, the brand's CPG side performed exceptionally well. He expects sales to climb more as in-person family celebrations resume during the coming holidays.   For now, TBJ Gourmet's product line is anchored by three bacon jams: classic, sweet chili, and black peppercorn. A reserve line includes additional flavors, including maple bacon jam, honey habanero bacon jam, and balsamic fig bacon jam. A tomato jam provides a non-meat option. Future variations are coming soon.   In Part 2, Michael talks about:   * Why the company turned to upcycling. * The story behind his mission not to waste food. * How the COVID pandemic affected the company. * The importance of community and social media. * A rundown of the brand's products.   Join Ramon Vela and Michael Oraschewsky as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on TBJ Gourmet, visit: https://tbjgourmet.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   If everything tastes better with bacon, then things must really hit another level with bacon jam. That's the mission of TBJ Gourmet, a specialty food brand that makes spreadable bacon jam its claim to fame.   Michael Oraschewsky, the brand's CEO (he calls himself the chief executive boor), says bacon jam is made of bacon, caramelized onions, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. It's sweet and savory, so it has many applications, from burgers and sandwiches to crackers and charcuterie boards.   "People are already putting bacon on burgers - that's familiar - and they're already putting condiments that have a sweet and acidic nature, like ketchup on burgers," Michael says. "That this flavor profile is combined into one awesome condiment or spread already made sense to people, but now it's crazy. We see people putting it on pan-seared scallops instead of wrapping them in bacon or putting it on deviled eggs and exploring the space."   It turns out the bacon jam came almost by accident. A while back, Michael owned a restaurant that had a catering job canceled at the last minute. The bacon for the event was already cooked, so his future business partner suggested turning it into jam - a product he made for tailgate parties. Customers loved it from the start and wanted it in jars. A brand was born.   "Relatively soon after that, we were selling more bacon jam than I was selling anything else at the restaurant," he says. "So that's the genesis of the company."   The brand's founders started with pre-sales on Kickstarter and quickly sold 13,000 units before anyone had sampled the product. They took the bacon jam on the road to bacon festivals around the country and found similar hot demand. The feedback at a Hughe Christmas market in Philadelphia confirmed they were onto something big.   "It was there that we realized it was beyond just the bacon love of it - there was a foodie component," Michael says. "People weren't just saying, I'm buying this for my uncle because he loves bacon. They were saying, " Oh, my son's a chef, he's going to love this."   From there, things moved fast, Michael says. The company found an angel investor and then searched for a USDA facility for production. The brand was featured on QVC. It was selling 8,000 units a minute and quickly sold out. The product is available in about 6,500 stories across the U.S. and Canada.   In Part 1, Michael talks about:   * Gratitude to his wife for taking on the responsibility of home-schooling children during the COVID lockdown. * Why the bacon jam works as a condiment - because it combines sweet and savory elements that are already familiar. * How the idea for bacon jam came about. * The initial and unexpectedly high demand for the product.   Join Ramon Vela and Michael Oraschewsky as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on TBJ Gourmet, visit: https://tbjgourmet.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   One of the mantras of Robin Wilson, chairman and founder of A Blue Egg Corporation, is asking people when they last washed their pillows.   With Blue Egg's brands in the clean home product space, it's a question that's important to get across to customers, she says.   "They're so embarrassed - the average answer was six years," Robin says. "That's drool dander. If you put oils on your hair and have a pet sleeping in your bed, anything you can imagine is on that dirty pillow that now weighs more than when you bought it."   In 2015, she published a book on home health called "Clean Design: Wellness for Your Lifestyle." Another book is in the works.   Robin's company also has a social justice campaign called Project Lilac that supplies bed sheets to safe houses or shelters for victims of domestic violence.   "That's just a simple gesture that can put someone on the road to believing in themselves again," she says.   The company's mission is to be an affordable luxury brand for the allergen-aware consumer.   "You don't have to have allergies to get our product," she says. "It's something you can get, though, if you want to prevent and protect yourself because it's woven at a 0.5 micron. So bedbugs and dust mites can't penetrate through the fabric, so it's almost like a tech play on sheets and sheeting."   When sharing wisdom, Robin first cautions about how life advice is dispensed.   "I want to remind people that anyone who gives you advice, often it's from their perspective," she says. "You should take a piece from this and a piece from that and make it your piece. Make it your vision."   What Robin hopes will happen soon is that we'll emerge from the pandemic and get back to the basics of coming together as a community, especially when it comes to socializing with friends and mentors.   "Have people in your life who are connectors," she says. "Those people get great joy from telling and talking to all their friends and saying, do you know about? Did you know about? And make sure there are a few people like that in your world because they will tell everybody what you're doing and why it's so great."   In Part 2, Robin talks about:   * The importance of pillow health. * The words of wisdom in her book. * Her brand's social justice campaign - Project Lilac. * Where you can find Clean Design Home products. * Why sleep is so vital to your health. * The perils of taking just one person's advice. * The importance of socializing with connectors.   Join Ramon Vela and Robin Wilson as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For more on A Blue Egg Corporation, visit: https://ablueegg.com/    For her book, “Clean Design: Wellness for Your Lifestyle,” visit Amazon.   Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.   The COVID pandemic caused a lot of people to feel trapped at home, putting a lot more focus on the needs inside a house. That's where A Blue Egg Corporation comes in, says Robin Wilson, chairman and founder of the holding company for real estate, design, and licensing.   Robin's childhood was spent fighting off a slew of allergies, a challenging situation that she'd later use to her advantage in her career. After starting in the corporate world, she shifted to real estate development and project management.   Robin says she's found resilience and empathy through a network of friends who offer constant reassuring words.   "Don't look at other people - run your race," she says. "Set a goal for yourself. Whatever that goal may be, it may be that you don't want to have any debt in one year. It may be that you want to have enough money to go on a vacation or have a certain amount of money in your bank account if that is your goal. Work toward your goal."   In Part 1, Robin talks about:   * Gratitude to his friends and family who invested in his company and trusted him to use the money wisely. * How her childhood allergies affected her career path. * Why she pivoted into real estate. * Why "resilience" and "empathy" are keywords to her.   Join Ramon Vela and Robin Wilson as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.   For her book, “Clean Design: Wellness for Your Lifestyle,” visit Amazon.   For more on A Blue Egg Corporation, visit: https://ablueegg.com/    Subscribe and Listen to the podcast on all major apps.
