Women crave deeper connections with others and sadly most are missing it.  We spend so much time in our cars driving kids around and less with each other sharing our stories, our feelings, our fears. We tend to hide behind our busyness which only ends up building walls leading to loneliness. Share your thoughts with me! andiwickmancoaching@gmail.com

The Founder, Justine Reichman, and The Creation of NextGenChef NextGenChef is organized as a benefit corporation. In its first iteration, we worked with an NGO and a non-profit to run recipe contests in Mexico City, where I lived at the time. I partnered with a top chef, Maycoll Calderón, to choose the winning recipe. The winning recipe was to be added to his restaurant menu and a portion of proceeds returned back to the winner & their family. After returning back to California, Cooking Together Marin was born. It was to be the next iteration of our work in Mexico, but here in the United States. Our efforts in Mexico were focused on helping those that had limited means, but after Cooking Together Marin, I realized this was more than trying to feed those less fortunate - in my mind we needed to approach this movement from a bigger more global change. At that time NextGenChef was born. NextGenChef is a culinary platform dedicated to supporting local, affordable, and regenerative food businesses. NextGenChef works exclusively with mission-driven emerging food businesses to help nourish our members with the tools they need for successful integration into the professional culinary and food industries. We support businesses and concepts at the ideation stage and mentor those who are ready to go-to-market. Justine’s goal for NextGenChef is Linkedin for everyone in the food and provide a platform that supports community, education, and innovation and inspires businesses and consumers to make more informed decisions and have greater access to healthy food. She takes great comfort in her craft using from the words of Mahatma Gandhi who said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others

Episode 12 is here! Today's conversation is with the amazing Tereson Dupuy! Tereson Dupuy has been an inventor and entrepreneur for 20 years. Her first flagship product, FuzziBunz Diapers, was invented to end the diaper rash dilemma her infant son was facing in 1998. She not only built a multi-million-dollar enterprise around this product but changed the industry for the better by providing a modern cloth diapering solution for families around the world and being a public advocate for a return to more sustainable diapering solutions. She is now disrupting the industry of adult incontinence with her new company “The Youni Company” which is not only about sustainability, but goodwill towards our fellow humans in need. Tereson’s experience in consumer product goods is vast. After realizing she had a “hit” that people wanted, she quickly grew her company doubling, tripling and sometimes quadrupling sales from year to year and she did this with zero investment dollars. She began by building her own manufacturing facility and fulfillment center employing 30 employees so that she could keep a close eye on quality and provide just in time inventory. Once she outgrew her own facility, she went on to use outsourced manufacturing in the USA, Mexico, China, and Turkey. Branding and marketing seemed to be second nature for Tereson, but Public Relations was her sweet spot with multiple stories being spun to the media on a regular basis. She has been featured in publications such as Money Magazine and The New York Times and has appeared on shows like Big Ideas for a Small Planet, The Big Idea, The CBS Morning Show and countless local and regional news shows for not only her brand but her success as an entrepreneur.  Tereson ultimately landed a spot on ABC’s Shark Tank in 2012 and exited her business shortly after. More than an entrepreneur, Tereson is a visionary with a strong propensity for influencing positive social change. She is a fearless leader and does not flinch at talking about things that matter such as environmental conservation, our disposable society or in this case, the shame associated with incontinence, our bodies, and the aging process. But she is far more than an entrepreneurial powerhouse. Tereson has recently published her first book, Superpowers for Entrepreneurs – A 12 Step Approach to Business Success, which helps entrepreneurs avoid some of the pitfalls she fell into as a young entrepreneur. She is teaching entrepreneurs to wield the power of spirituality to grow and run their businesses from a place of “flow” rather than “fight” and seeks to motivate and inspire them to do just that. www.loveyouni.com Superpowers for Entrepreneurs - A 12 Step Approach to Business Success www.teresondupuy.com

Today's guest is the amazing Stefanie Arroyo - Creator and Founder of Biz Typology™️. Learn all about Stefanie's secret method of "typing" people's personalities within minutes of talking to them—and knowing exactly how to sell to them, or just deal with them in a more harmonious way. Typing someone's personality (sometimes, without them even realizing it you're doing it) lets you know exactly how to talk, write to, and communicate with people in a way they will love you for. (And, yes—by doing this, people will actually thank you for talking to and closing them. It changes the whole dynamic of working with clients.)
