Today I had on Samara Bay, a successful speaker, sought-after speech coach,  and author of the book, Permission to Speak.  Samara is a highly accomplished woman, her journey to become a speech coach is fascinating having once lost her voice for months without speaking. She is now a coach to many public figures, candidates for U.S. congress, and many people in Hollywood. She’s been hired by everyone from Marvel to Netflix to help movie stars integrate good acting with good accents. Some of her clients include Gal Gadot, Pierce Brosnan, Penelope Cruz, Ricky Martin and the list goes on. Her work on rethinking the sound of power has been featured in The New York Times Magazine, Forbes, CBS Sunday Morning, Tamron Hall, Slate, and many more. We spoke a lot about the concept of changing the sound of power, how our voices and the way we speak affect the way we are treated. Our voice stories vs our personal stories. How giving authentic power to our voices with a focus on those of women and minorities is helping shift power within companies and how that affects business as a whole. The thing is, you don't have to be a public speaker or CEO to see the immense value that bringing power to your voice can have.  This is just as powerful to a parent of a teenager as it is to someone speaking to an audience of ten thousand.

Today I had on Jenna Grossbart & Camille Lasker, the talented and passionate women behind Holi Scoops.  Jenna and Camille have a fantastic story, they both suffered from various health setbacks, making them wonder if this was associated with the foods they ate. Lo and behold, after changing their diet, they saw tremendous health improvements that led to the creation of Holi Scoops. A truly healthy and delicious ice cream with a mission to mindfully feed our bodies and souls, using healing adaptogens and nutrient-dense ingredients to prioritize health while never skimping on indulgence. I had a lot of fun interviewing Jenna & Camille; we really got into how much physical and mental health are related and connected to each other. And if you ever thought about how you can turn your struggles or hardships into a business, then this is for sure great inspo for you.    If you like this episode, please share it with a homie, tag my guests and me on social and definitely subscribe.
