Let's Try This Again with B. Simone
From Two to Team: Building a Brand with Heart & Resilience feat Jazmin

Let's Try This Again with B. Simone

Welcome back to Let's Try This Again—I'm your host, B Simone, and this episode is extra special because I'm sitting down with my longtime friend and behind-the-scenes powerhouse, Jazmin. If you've ever wondered what it really takes to build a brand, keep a business afloat, and find the right team, this conversation is for you. We get real about our journey together—from building websites before B Simone Beauty was even a thing, to weathering the storm of losing team members and starting over from scratch. I share how, after resigning from our previous venture, we went from a team of eight or ten down to just the two of us, and how that season of transition tested our resilience and commitment to our vision.We talk about the importance of trusting the process, even when it feels like you're losing everything. I remember calling Jaz from the Virgin Islands, feeling anxious and unsure about starting the podcast, but her belief in me gave me the courage to try again. We also get honest about setting boundaries in business, especially when working with friends, and how crucial it is to have people around you who not only have the skills but truly believe in your vision. Jazmin keeps me grounded—when I'm dreaming big about arena tours and conferences, she's the one who helps me build the solid foundation to make those dreams a reality.I open up about learning to delegate, to release control, and to trust my team—like this morning, when I was exhausted and realized it was okay to let the team handle things while I took care of myself. We talk about how building a business is never a straight line—it's full of pivots, tough decisions, and moments of gratitude for the people who stick with you through it all. If you're in a season of transition, feeling like you've lost your team, or just need a reminder to trust the process and keep going, this episode is for you. Let's keep trying, growing, and building together.Sponsors//Simply Pop: See what the fizz is all about!

  David Waldman WILL RETURN from the Virgin Islands tomorrow! Meanwhile, let's take on an evergreen topic, the complete and utter corruption of Donald K. Trump and how that has infected every facet of American government.   Ex-prosecutors are raising alarms over Ed Martin, who everyone, including Ed Martin, will tell you is anti-law/pro-Trump.   White House aide Lynne Patton was suspended for violation of the Hatch Act. Strange, because who in the Trump administration hasn't violated the Hatch Act, and more vigorously? It's pretty much a job requirement.   DOGEy lawyer Jeremy Lewin is a violent racist, also no doubt a feature, not a bug, leading to his promotion to lead the wreckage of USAID.   The Department of Homeland Security wants to keep the number of people fired from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency a secret.

David Waldman continues to lounge in the Virgin Islands, perhaps a letdown for those of us who had favorited him in local Pedro Pascal look-alike contests, but not for you loyal listeners out there, as David made certain that there wasn't the slightest interruption in our KITM service. Of course, this show was pre-recorded last week, so listening to it you might not be aware that Donald K. Trump is an egomaniacal loser so bent on self-aggrandizement that he's ready and willing to destroy the world to get it. Or that his deplorable followers are so deluded and demented that they've become individual ISIS wannabees, hiding behind every bush. In Not-Weaponizing Government news, the Rurals have become less illegal, while the Urbans have become more illegal than ever before. Pro-Lifers might cut back on their assassinations if only their pro-life government killed more first. VA doctors are finally allowed to euthanize Democrats and unmarried. The Department of Veterans Affairs will be able locate and eliminate Libs much more efficiently due to the efforts of DOGE and its installation of AI into agency systems. Anyone with a Social Security number can now be doxed with a push of a button. That could ruin or even kill most people, but for some it could make them millions, maybe billions! DOGE can do just about anything, other than find federal waste and fraud, because that stuff is really rare.

David Waldman continues his sojourn in the Virgin Islands, getting away from it all, but not escaping from his responsibility to KITM listeners, with this brand-new pre-recorded podcast! Donald K. Trump is king now.  At least, that's what he purports.  Donald purports a lot.  The problem is the people who believe him, or purport to. The big problem is when the Trump Supreme Court turns purports into edicts.  One can usually determine how far they've become detached from reality by the number of people who disagree with them. Thanks to modern science those days are over. Machines will simp you like you never been simped before.

Bulletin: David Waldman has invaded the Virgin Islands! Man, if ol' Jeff hadn't already wasted it on his island, Trump would've had the best renaming opportunity.  David could have broadcast KITM live out his snorkel but chose instead to record five all-new specials to fill this spot. Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense for the United States of America, is having some difficulty rising to the highest standards of his position. In fact, those people who would be interested in working in his department are less interested in working in his department, unless their duties include perhaps fragging. Hegseth orders coverups, hunts down leakers, and changes the subject to much more incriminating topics, all certain morale-builders. Then there's that time Pete invited Elon Musk to a meeting, and thy Trump is a jealous Trump, and would be visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto Pete's third and fourth generation had not Hegseth been such an excellent brownnoser.  Jennifer Hegseth is going to have to shorten that leash a bit more. Gop Cory Mills saved at least three fellow soldiers while serving in Iraq, he just forgot to mention it to them. Canada isn't interested in Trump's gold dome, as they feel less safe under there with him.

A Legacy of Unaffected Living, DOMUS NYC, became an iconic landmark in Hell's Kitchen from 2002 to 2024. This beloved store Domus, translating to "home" in Latin, was located in Hell's Kitchen NYC, was founded by Luisa Cerutti and Nicki Lindheimer, who drew inspiration from their extensive travels around the globe. The shop was renowned for its quirky, artsy feel, characterized by eclectic window displays, a distinctive red doorway, and a warm, welcoming sign that invited passersby to explore its unique offerings. Before launching DOMUS, Luisa Cerutti cultivated a rich background in retail. She spent five years as a footwear buyer at the prestigious Fifth Avenue JOAN & DAVID store, and prior to that, she owned Luisa Boutique in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, where she showcased clothing, shoes, and accessories. Luisa's also served as an area manager for the BENETTON GROUP from 1980 to 1984, further deepening her expertise in fashion retail. Fluent in English, French, Italian, and Spanish, Luisa's linguistic skills were instrumental in her global sourcing efforts. Prior to founding DOMUS with her partner Luisa Cerutti, Nicki Lindheimer built a career in retail that combined her love for art and design with an entrepreneurial spirit. She embraced an open-minded approach to merchandising, allowing her to expand the store's offerings to include arts, crafts, and whimsical gift items. Together with Luisa, she embarked on annual trips to countries such as Vietnam, Morocco, Cambodia, Myanmar, Philippines, India, South Africa, Mexico, Peru, Cuba, Colombia, Laos and Guatemala, forging relationships with artisans and championing fair trade practices, allowing them to expand their inventory beyond home goods to include arts and crafts, toys, and other playful items, making their store part art gallery, part showroom, and part gift shop. Their collection told stories of artisans from around the world, with a commitment to fair wages and sustainable practices, pathways for social change. The store's centerpiece—a massive tree adorned with unique ornaments and wind chimes—served as a metaphor for the interconnectedness of various cultures and crafts represented within their walls. DOMUS NYC earned significant accolades, winning the prestigious W42ST Award for Best Retail Store three times (2020, 2022, and 2023) and being named a runner-up in 2021. The store was also frequently featured in the popular "West Side Stories" segment and received coverage from NY Magazine, acknowledging its special place in the New York retail landscape. Matty Selman wrote a book titled "The Ornaments" a children's story inspired by Luisa and Nicki's unique and wonderful gift store tucked away on a side street in New York City, which celebrates their journey and the artisan stories behind their products and the beautiful ornaments that hung on the massive tree. Beyond their commercial endeavors, Luisa and Nicki are passionate about supporting various causes, including animal welfare, arts and culture, children's rights, civil rights, education, environmental conservation, and human rights. Their philanthropic efforts have always been integral to the DOMUS mission, reflecting their desire to contribute positively to society and empower the vulnerable. They both have been a part of Ozzie's history for 22 grateful years, leaving, through DOMUS NYC without a doubt, an indelible mark on the neighborhood, synonymous with creativity, culture, and a special kind of love for the immediate and larger community. https://www.domusnewyork.com/ order@domusnewyork.com

When tropical storm systems barrel across the Atlantic Ocean toward North America, they often take aim at the Lesser Antilles—an arc of small islands that marks the eastern boundary of the Caribbean Sea. In fact, the islands often are the first thing forecasters talk about when a tropical system heads our way.The Lesser Antilles arc from the U.S. Virgin Islands, near Puerto Rico, all the way down to South America. They comprise three separate groups: the Leeward Islands, the Windward Islands, and the Leeward Antilles. The Windwards extend farthest into the Atlantic. They were the first stop for European sailing ships, which followed the prevailing winds to the Americas.Most of the islands are volcanic. They formed as two of the plates that make up Earth's crust plunged below the Caribbean Plate. As the rock descended, it melted. Some of the molten rock then forced its way upward, building the islands.Earthquakes rock some of the islands. And some of the volcanoes that built the islands are still active. A massive eruption that began in 1995, for example, destroyed the capital of the island of Montserrat, and forced most of the population to leave the island.Despite the volcanoes and hurricanes, many of the individual islands are popular tourist sites. Places like the Virgin Islands, Aruba, and Martinique offer tropical beaches, coral reefs, rugged mountains, and other natural attractions—at the edge of the Caribbean Sea.

Ade and Claudette Faison have worked in the field of human development for more than 50 years and 40 years, respectively. Together, that's more than 90 combined years working to support others in transformation and lives of possibility. It's no surprise, then, that they both came to do the Hoffman Process along the way. Yet, it's all still fresh in their minds. They remember specific instances from their Process. Claudette shares her experience at the Process when she was having a conversation - a quad talk - with her intellect and Spiritual Self. She was asking her Spiritual Self, "Are you Buddha, are you God?" And then she began to laugh and laugh. She says it was like finally solving a mystery. For Ade, he remembers coming home having just completed the Process. He walked into a party that Claudette was hosting for her friends. Usually, Ade would hold back, waiting for an opening to join a party like that. But fresh out of the Process, he jumped right into the mix without hesitation. He had changed at the Process, and it was noticeable to everyone. Through Unlocking Futures, Ade and Claudette's company, they work with people on the margins of life. The work they do supports people in unlocking a better future for themselves, their families, and their communities. In the past, Ade and Claudette, and Unlocking Futures, partnered with the Hoffman Institute to create an advanced course called "The Quantum Leap Process." Drew taught alongside Ade in one of these courses. Listen in as Ade and Claudette share powerful stories of the work they do to unlock futures for many. We hope you enjoy this lively conversation with Ade, Claudette, and Drew.

For some coral, home isn't where the heart is—it's where the sounds are. A recent study showed that one type of coral prefers to settle on reefs that sound healthy—even if they're not.Young corals, known as larvae, float or swim through the water for a while. When they find a good spot, they drop to the bottom and grab hold. They use several cues to find the best locations, including the lighting and chemistry. And according to the study, one of those cues might be sounds.Biologists recorded the sounds of both healthy and un-healthy reefs in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Healthy reefs are noisy. They feature the clicks of snapping shrimp and the grunts and groans of fish. Unhealthy reefs are much quieter.The scientists placed small groups of larvae in special containers on three reefs. One reef was healthy, with a good amount of coral. The others had less coral and much more algae, which can kill a reef.Researchers played the sounds of a healthy reef to the larvae on one of the damaged reefs. On the other two reefs, the larvae had only the natural sound of the environment.On average, the larvae that were played the healthy sounds were 1.7 times more likely to settle on the reef than those at the other reefs—even the healthy one. So playing a nice lullaby into damaged reefs might lure new generations of coral in the years ahead.Our thanks to T. Aran Mooney of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for the reef sounds.

Virgins, Vampires & A Very Demure, Very Mindful dress-code... what more could you want? Happy Everything Is Content day!First up this week, we're discussing a new reality TV show that premiered on Channel 4... and Love Island it ain't. Virgin Island follows 12 adults between the ages of 22 and 30 who have yet to have sex, as they embark on a journey of sexual self discovery on a retreat off the coast of Croatia. There are sex therapists, sex surrogates, group activities, bonding exercises, massages, solo sessions and more. Is it exploitative? Is it heartwarming? Is it too much for our prudish British sensibilities? Listen to find out!Next up, in a very non-French move, there's an anti-nipple vendetta at one of the most glamorous events of the year. One day before the 78th film festival began, Cannes updated the official website to say that ‘For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the Red Carpet, as well as in any other area of the Festival.' Is this more conversative-creep? Or is just a reactionary decision based on the Bianca Censori Grammy's stunt?And last but by no means least, Sinners. It's been described as a Southern vampire fantasia and another incredible addition to Black horror. Michael B Jordan plays gangster twins, the “Smokestack twins' specifically, who reconnect with their younger Blues loving cousin, Sammie, who helps them open up a juke joint. But they're soon confronted with the absolutely menacing Jack O Connell, who plays head vampire Remmick. Soon things spiral out of control and it becomes a war between the last remaining few and the growing swarm of vampires. And they've just got survive the last few hours of nightfall.

You can also see it on YouTube.Devin: What is your superpower?Todd: I careWhat if a favorite drink could change the world? That's the ingenious idea behind Chef Todd Manley's Mutiny Island Vodka. By using breadfruit—a tropical superfood—as its primary ingredient, Mutiny Island Vodka addresses two pressing global challenges: poverty and climate change.Todd, a chef turned entrepreneur, explained how breadfruit transforms lives in tropical regions. “One breadfruit tree will feed a family of four for life,” he noted, emphasizing its nutritional and economic potential. In regions plagued by food insecurity and poverty, breadfruit provides not only sustenance but also economic opportunities. Farmers can grow breadfruit to feed their families, sell it locally, or export products like breadfruit flour. Mutiny Island Vodka incentivizes the planting of these trees, creating a sustainable cycle of economic growth and environmental restoration.Breadfruit's environmental benefits are equally impressive. Todd highlighted, “Breadfruit trees sequester hundreds of tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and they're long living.” Unlike annual crops like wheat or corn that require replanting, breadfruit trees thrive for decades, continuously bearing fruit while pulling carbon dioxide from the air.Mutiny Island Vodka, the world's first vodka made from breadfruit, is more than just a spirit—it's a movement. The company's partnerships with organizations like the Trees That Feed Foundation amplify its impact. For every bottle sold or investment made, a breadfruit tree is planted in a region that needs it most. This initiative not only addresses food security but also serves as a scalable climate solution.Todd and his team are currently raising funds through a regulation crowdfunding campaign on Start Engine. This capital will help expand production and distribution, bringing Mutiny Island Vodka to more people and creating even greater impact. Todd shared his ambitious vision: “We are set on becoming a household name...better cocktails, better planet.”Todd's innovative approach and commitment to making a difference demonstrate how business can be a force for good. Mutiny Island Vodka isn't just a drink—it's a tangible example of how ingenuity and purpose can tackle global challenges. Those interested in supporting this mission can explore the opportunity to invest and join the effort to fight poverty and save the planet, one sip at a time.tl;dr:Mutiny Island Vodka uses breadfruit to fight poverty and climate change while producing award-winning spirits.Breadfruit trees provide food security, economic opportunities, and carbon sequestration in tropical regions.Mutiny Island Vodka is raising funds via regulation crowdfunding to expand production and impact.Todd's superpower, caring, drives his work and fosters a network of trust and collaboration.During the pandemic, Mutiny produced hand sanitizer for frontline workers, showcasing care and ingenuity.How to Develop Caring As a SuperpowerTodd's superpower is his genuine care for others. He explained, “I think my number one superpower is I care.” This deep empathy fuels his work and draws like-minded people into his orbit, fostering a network of trust and collaboration. Todd elaborated, “When you find someone else that has that same superpower, you tend to really latch on to them...having that is just incredible.”Illustrative Story:During the pandemic, Todd noticed that the Virgin Islands had no hand sanitizer for hospitals, police, or frontline workers. Leveraging Mutiny Island Vodka's resources, his team began producing sanitizer using breadfruit-derived alcohol. This act of care not only met the community's critical needs but also helped sustain the business during a challenging time.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Practice listening actively by using “two ears and one mouth” to understand others better.Reframe negative thoughts or words into positive, solution-oriented language.Cultivate empathy by considering what others might be experiencing.Surround yourself with like-minded, caring individuals to foster collaboration and trust.By following Todd's example and advice, you can make caring a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileChef Todd Manley (he/him):CEO, Mutiny Island VodkaAbout Mutiny Island Vodka: Our company was founded to produce the World's first, Island Vodka, hand crafted with breadfruit, Mutiny Island Vodka. The business has grown to encompass a production distillery, restaurant, tourist attraction, event venue, and of course Mutiny Island Vodka as a brand on its own. Mutiny Island Vodka is being featured on the shelves and menus of some notable partners such as:  The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Applebee's Franchisees, American Airlines Lounges, Virgin Voyages, and more.

He has largely been self-employed his entire life, loving the challenge of taking ideas out of thin air and turning them into tangible, profitable realizations. He is a graduate and former graduate school student of Virginia Commonwealth University.Since making the USVI his home, he has opened 5 successful businesses in a short four years, continually reinvesting in Christiansted and the USVI effectively helping pull up the town by reinvigorating interest in Christiansted during an economically gloomy period of time. In 2015, the community honored him through the Chamber of Commerce awarding him "Business Man of the Year.” The same year he received the U.S. Congressional Award for contributions to community and betterment of society for his achievements and helping the community of St. Croix. His commitment to better the global community through his work with breadfruit and the breadfruit community resulted in being honored at the Global Breadfruit Summit in Hawaii in both 2018 and 2022 for contributions to the community and innovation. Mutiny Island Vodka also received an endorsement from a charity, Trees That Feed Foundation for using breadfruit as a substrate incentivizing the planting of breadfruit trees.When he has free time, he can be found with his wife from Dominica, playing guitar, scuba diving, or on a beach!

Throughout our conversation, Eva shares how she's built a ceramics practice while constantly relocating - from Florida to the Virgin Islands, Bali to Montana, and numerous residencies in between - by prioritizing experience and adaptation over permanence. Despite the challenges of restarting with new materials, kilns, and glazes in each location, Eva embraces this constant reinvention as part of her creative process. Rather than seeing her nomadic lifestyle as an obstacle, she's transformed it into a strength, connecting with ceramic communities worldwide and developing a unique artistic voice that thrives on curiosity and discovery. Could insatiable curiosity and a willingness to constantly try new things be a new approach to unlocking something new for your own creative journey?Resources in this Episode:Evas' InstagramLove this podcast?
