54. How To Engage In Cultural Appreciation with Lily Lynch
Hey you wild women! My next guest is the co-founder of Sankara, a social enterprise that operates an Online Multicultural Marketplace platform. It enables clients to access authentic cultural services and products like Catering, Meal Plans, and Arts & Crafts. Everything is made hyper-locally by a collective of vendors from diverse cultural backgrounds. As a multiracial individual herself, Lily Lynch is passionate about creating experiences and public commemorations centered around BIPOC history and culture. In February 2020, the month after the passing of her paternal grandfather, a descendant of Black Loyalists, she organized the inaugural raising of the Pan-African flag in New Brunswick to commemorate Black History Month. When the flag raised overhead, she felt the pride and presence of her Black ancestors, including her grandfather. In February 2021, she's planning an even bigger flag-raising by activating cities and communities across her province. Over two years, she curated and operated over two dozen pop-up restaurant experiences in order to highlight the culture of Sankara's partner Chefs and their cuisine alongside informed conversations about various cultures from Asia, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Africa. She is drawn towards creating opportunities for the community to participate in cultural appreciation, ask deeper questions of one another and welcome opportunities to build cross-cultural empathy with open arms. Sankara allows her the opportunity to actively express these values to a wider community and witness them reach back excitedly for more. In this episode, you will learn about: What Lily's background is Why Lily loves this quote from Nina Simone: "This is the world you have made yourself, now you have to live in it" The biggest pain point in starting Sankara Navigating being an online food ordering service in a physical market place "You have to start from where you are": Learning to let go of the notion of perfection The importance of working with people that share the same values as you How your relationship with your culture and upbringing influence how you show up in business Why Lily decided to create Sankara Experiencing other cultures through food How Sankara strategically pivoted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic Removing expectations and embracing curiosity How consumers can better participate in cultural appreciation The importance of listening to feedback from vendors Getting out of your comfort zone to allow yourself to grow What is "Coding as White" and how does it impact multiracial people? Using privilege to elevate and support others How to better face the issues of equity and race in our society The damage that apathy does Challenges that Lily has had to face and continues to face in business Why there is no divide between work and personal life for Lily. What it means to be a WILD woman: "Someone once asked Nina Simone what freedom is and she said that it is to have no fear. I think fear is something we often shy away from. Doing new things, we shy away from because we are not sure of the outcome or we're not sure if we have it in us to do it. That fear can be personal or circumstantial or historically based, but thinking of freedom as an absence of fear puts you into the position of being able to actually act on your freedom and recognize it as your own." -Lily Lynch Public Shout Outs: Movie: Point of No Return Movie: Imitation of Life Book: The Good Immigrant Resources: Website: www.sankaracuisine.com Instagram: @sankaramarket Spotify: Sankara - World Waves ______________________________________________________________________ Renée Warren is an award-winning entrepreneur, a 7-figure business starter, and the founder of We Wild Women, a business dedicated to helping women launch their dream business.

51. How to Develop a Winning Founder Mindset
In this episode of Into The Wild, We Wild Women founder, Renée Warren will take you through the steps you need to develop a winning founder's mindset. Originally recorded as a Facebook Live and re-purposed here just for Into The Wild listeners, this episode will leave you with some clear and actionable steps you can take in your business to help lay the foundation for growth. There is even an exercise at the end of the podcast that will help you uncover some of your own mindset blocks that could be preventing you from moving forward in your business. One in nine companies achieve a modest level of sustainable and profitable growth, even though all companies want growth. Most issues are internal issues, controllable to you, the founder, and not really much to do with outside factors. For example, blaming the pandemic for losing business which made you close your doors because YOU DID NOTHING about it, which is your fault. You can look at the situation as though it happened TO you or FOR you. It's up to you to decide. This idea is tracked back to what Chris Zook calls the Growth Paradox where he explains that growth creates complexity and that complexity becomes the silent killer within your company. You want to achieve a founder's mindset which is the power of the internal health of a company or just you the owner) to maintain its energy so that you can maintain creativity, innovation and consistency. Here's what I know: when you grow your mindset, you grow your company. In this episode, you will learn: Why 'knowing your why' and believing in your mission is critical to staying on track How to set clear goals to support your mission and how to develop a plan to achieve your goals How to create habits that work for you Why blocking out the noise of competitors, distractions, and haters is so important How ABC (Always Be Curious) is a key factor in your success How to shift your mindset around failure Why believing that you can improve can keep you motivated and make you a better leader and founder How hiring a coach or mentor can be the key to unlocking profit and potential in your business ______________________________________________________________________ Renée Warren is an award-winning entrepreneur, a 7-figure business starter, and the founder of We Wild Women, a business dedicated to helping women launch their dream business.

44. Manifesting Your Most Abundant Life with Christine Michelle
Hey you wild women! Christine Michelle is the Founder and CEO of The Aligned Soul by Ana-Hob Personal Development Brand and author of The Aligned Receiver. Known as The Vibration Lifter and Energy Shifter, Christine is a Frequency Alchemizer who helps you shift your frequency and elevate your consciousness to new levels. Lover of the Woo (spiritual) + the Do (practical), Christine left her successful Corporate Executive career to step into her Soul's Calling. Utilizing Human Design, Quantum Physics, NLP, EFT, Gene Keys and a ton of other modalities made her own, Christine Michelle is an Energy Healer, Seer and a Channel who allows Guidance to flow through her and speak directly to your mind and your soul. Christine helps you to tune into your own wholeness and welcome you home to who you truly are. She makes Quantum Leaps #normal. Intentional Manifestation gets to be easy. In this episode you will learn about: How holding space for others can positively shift energy. The Universe is your sugar daddy - it's always giving. You are creating resistance and are stopping the flow of the universe's abundance. You are taught to put expenses first but paying yourself first can be a better approach. Paying yourself first can also mean buying back your time and investing in yourself. Alignment is when your soul and your body and your mind are all working as one towards a goal or direction. True alignment comes from being in the frequency of being aligned with what you truly love and everything is working together to propel you towards those goals. Manifestation is just intentional receiving - everything in your life is the frequency that you are aligned with. Things are already available to you - you just have to be aligned with receiving them. If you can get clarity on your goals and why you want those things and give that to yourself right now, that's when you are aligning with that frequency and that's when your goals start to unfold into your life. Give this to yourself now, be that energy now. You don't have to wait for your circumstances to match your energy. Once you lock in your frequency, possibilities are endless. Top 3 tips to becoming more aligned: 1) Accept that 'it is what it is' - don't resist or force current circumstance. 2) Get out of your head and into your body. Trust your body compass and your feelings to feel more grounded and less anxious. 3) Tune into your heart and make choices that are aligned with your body from a place of groundedness. You don't make good choices when your body is anxious and worried. What it means to be a wild woman: Being a wild woman means being completely yourself and accepting all of your mess and your blessings. It's being completely free to say what you want to say and show up as you want to show up. It's accepting yourself knowing that you are perfect and worthy exactly as you are.

43. Becoming a Fashion Icon with Catherine Addai
Hey you wild women! My next guest resigned from her corporate career in 2017 to focus on her impressive clothing line Kaela Kay. Her brand quickly evolved with a distinct identity, recognition of culture and customer loyalty. And the designs and prints are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen!! With a focus on her Ghanaian roots, she emphasizes the beauty in the prints and colors that come from and represent Africa through the Ankara (an-car-a) textiles. Of course not ignoring her North American upbringing, her designs are feminine, classic and classy. She wants all women to identify their personal style in their fabulous size. For this reason Kaela Kay stocks up to size US22 and will custom design for any fabulous size. Kaela Kay clothing is produced in Toronto, Canada by local seamstresses. This allows her to work closely with the seamstresses to create well-made and well-fitting styles. These wonderful women are self-regulated, creative and hard-working and are able to cultivate the artistic and work-life balance lives that they desire. As a mom to 3 beautiful beings, she strives to build a company that they too will grow to be proud of. In this episode you will learn about: "If you build it they will come." Best advice; collaborate and barter as much as possible especially when first starting out. Free fashion shows, give out free samples... Two business mistakes: 1 - purchased too much fabric from beyond overstock and it just sat there - did not sell well. 2 - The partner she worked with didn't fit well and she knew it wasn't going to go well. Stand in your ground. Fashion creative block: she goes back to her business plan and where she can find the motivation to keep the business going -- looking at her why. Connections through photographers and models. Consistency and organization are needed to be a leader at home and in the office. Tips for someone looking to start on their own: 1. Make sure you have a customer framework (ideal customer), 2. Write down your why, 3. Research other brands that you admire and read their stories. 4. Log off at 5 pm -- set boundaries. A good business takes time to grow, years if not decades sometimes. It takes time to find a balance between work and business. What it means to be a wild woman:"To be able to think the most out of the box ideas you can dream of and have the audacity to go after it, and then have the energy and smarts to keep it going."

You don't have to do what everyone else is doing. Do things that are in alignment with you. Give yourself permission to do what you love. Mistake 1: Not filing as an LLC or corporation. Mistake 2: Doing business without a contract. Mistake 3: Not doing a trademark and protecting your brand name. Contracts are a guide book for you and the other party. Don't create an LLC if it's only a hobby. We need to normalize that contracts are the way we do business. Three first steps to starting a business: 1. Go to government website and search to make sure that your name isn't already in use or registered 2. Always get a contract in place 3. Your website must have a privacy policy as it is required in the USA. Block time to be productive: client blocks, content blocks, CEO blocks, learning block.

41. Why You Must Always Look For The Silver Lining – with Diani Blanco
Hey you wild women! Diani Blanco is a renowned inspirational speaker, an advocate against dating abuse as well as the CEO and founder of Infyno (infeeno) Group, a non-profit organization dedicated to help teenage girls in high schools across Canada suffering from domestic and sexual abuse in young dating relationships. In the early stages of the pandemic lockdown, Diani started to hear more and more from single parents who found themselves in situations where no organization could provide timely help. Grocery stores allowed only one adult to come to the shop, little kids couldn't be left unattended, deliveries took long times because of the sudden demand, and they ran out of milk, diapers, or other basic needs, and this was a constant struggle. Diani decided it was time to make sure no family was left behind. "It takes a tribe," she says. Partnering with her good friend, they turned the sporadic help given on a personal basis to a growing community called Queens of Heart. Diani has helped numerous families, personally running from house to house to deliver food boxes and other basic items, donated by the members of the group, as well as local organizations that discovered the new initiative and decided to pitch in. In this episode, you will learn about: Everything happens for a reason. Why being yourself is the best advice. She was graced with feelings of cold & hot right before she wanted to jump off a bridge. It was a sign to keep holding on. She didn't know what love was supposed to be. How she worked her hardest to give her kids the bunkbed they always wanted. And she got it despite all odds. You need a no excuse mindset. She knew she needed to give back. Queens of Heart is like her third baby; keeps her up at night, but provides so much joy! What it means to be a wild woman: "Not having any limits. You can achieve and accomplish anything you want to. To not feel judged and to be honest with everyone around you."
