    396. Follow YOUR Curiosity! An interview with Kris Cody - CEO & Founder of Paka Apparel.

    396. Follow YOUR Curiosity! An interview with Kris Cody - CEO & Founder of Paka Apparel.

    Kris Cody is the CEO and founder of a freakishly cool clothing company…  Paka Apparel! 
    While in college… Kris took a trip to Peru and while he was there… he came across a sweater made with wool from alpaca fiber.  He loved the thing… and when he came back to the states… he realized all of his friends wanted one too.  As Kris started to dream about the possibilities… he was also struck with the thought of sourcing everything right from Peru… from the families that he’d interacted with on his trip.  He also loved the thought of hiring local women to craft sweaters and clothing he could send around the world.
    With that dream in mind… Kris started a company called Paka Apparel in 2017.  He fueled the launch of Paka with a Kickstarter campaign that initially had a goal of $20,000 and they hit that in under 24 hours.  Kris and the campaign went on to raise more than $350,000 in 30 days. 
    From that exciting start… Paka has now created a line of washable alpaca apparel and ethical performance outerwear, along with Paka's tried and true sweaters, hoodies and socks.
    And get this.  Paka Apparel… under Kris’s leadership… has been celebrated for their efforts to localize Paka’s supply chain: 
    All of Paka’s alpaca fiber is sourced from free-roaming herds in Peru. 90% of products are manufactured in Peru. And… over 100 Quechua (keCHwa) women weavers are employed and Paka pays them a wage that’s 4x the living wage in Peru!  And the clothing looks awesome too!  
    I’m loving this story!  And Kris is obviously living the DREAM THINK DO life… so let’s get to this!

    Okay… NOW…I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU: How about it!?  
    What did you think of Kris’s approach to life and how curiosity led him to start PAKA?
    I just love out “curiosity” led him to take that initial trip to Peru.  And how finding that one sweater led him to starting a MOVEMENT.
    By the way… that’s exactly what I think PAKA is.  Sure… it’s a freakishly cool clothing brand.  But… I think Kris and his team are starting a MOVEMENT… one small step at a time.
    How about YOU?  How might you apply the concepts he was talking about to start a MOVEMENT of your own?
    You sure don’t need to launch a clothing brand… but how could you “follow YOUR curiosity” to find more of the things YOU were put on the planet to do?
    By the way… Kris is young and he started young.  And that’s awesome!!!
    But I think that his approach can be applied to ANY stage of life… especially if you give yourself permission to take sma

    395. 3 Keys to achieving dreams that seem impossible! An interview with entrepreneur Eric Moeller

    Eric Moeller is with us!  Eric is the one of the founders and the CEO of Freewyld… which is an incredibly innovative vacation rental brand specializing in providing immersive experiences for 
    modern travelers. 
    The idea for Freewyld was born after Eric embarked on a six-month road trip during the pandemic. He realized that some of his favorite memories came from staying in rustic cabins overlooking the mountains, or cooking intentional meals with friends or inviting people to come hike and explore with them over a weekend.
    This inspired Eric to try to create spaces where people could create more moments that matter.
    So… he’s in the midst of that right now… starting with his first FREEWYLD community based in Idyllwild, California. 
    And… he’s working on creating more around the world.
    Eric’s living the DREAM THINK DO life… so I wanted to have him on to talk about it!  Let’s go!

    Jamie Winship is back to DREAM THINK DO!
    You probably remember him from episode 354… but if not… here’s a little background on Jamie.
    Jamie Winship was an award-winning police officer in Washington DC who went on to spend nearly 30 years living and working in some of the most dangerous conflict zones in the world.  
    Jamie developed a unique process called the “Identity Method.” This process of identity transformation is the key to resolving inner conflict and acquiring new levels of learning… connection and creativity. 
    His unconventional efforts to bring about societal and racial reconciliation has led him to Indonesia, Jordan, Iraq, Palestine, Israel and now… back to the U.S. 
    Jamie and his amazing wife, Donna, are co-founders of Identity Exchange, a training and consulting agency that helps individuals and teams discover new levels of creativity and resiliency within the framework of true identity.
    He’s worked with professional sports teams, business leaders, government officials, non-profit organizations, and many others. 
    Since our last conversation… Jamie and Donna have ALSO partnered with Vossler Studios to create a new non-profit… called “The Encounter.”
    It’s specifically designed to bring identity content & curriculum to schools and communities around the world.
    And even though it’s brand new… they’re already fielding invitations to create films, apps, TV shows, and other media that will help repair the world.  It’s so cool!
    We obviously have a LOT to talk about… so let’s get to this!
     
    JOIN JAMIE AND MITCH on March 8th & 9th!
    Jamie and Mitch will both be speaking at the upcoming Marketplace Collab Conference in Kingsport, Tennessee on March 8th and 9th.

    393. NO MORE BAD DAYS! [Micro-Steps To Mindfulness] An interview with Entrepreneur, Endurance Athlete & Meditation Teacher Michael O’Brien

    Michael O’Brien was successful corporate executive who had a serious wake up call. He was away on a corporate retreat… getting a quick bike ride in before a day of meetings… when he was struck head-on by a speeding SUV who crossed the centerline going 40 mph.
    As you can imagine… it changed his life forever. More specifically… Michael is quick to say THAT was his "Last Bad Day."
    We’ll talk about WHY that is… and more importantly… HOW that can be true!
    Today… Michael is an endurance athlete… a meditation teacher… and the creator of the “Pause Breathe Reflect” Meditation and Gratitude app. And he’s on a mission to ‘ripple something worth rippling’ and help individuals and businesses stress less… perform better… and live more.
    He’s truly living the DREAM THINK DO life… so I’m excited for this conversation. Let’s do this.

#394 Embracing Your True Identity & Living FEARLESSLY

I'd listened to 1st interview with Jamie Winship #354 and just finished #394. Both are GREAT!! In #394 with about 8:30 left, Mitch asked Jamie "for someone who hears this podcast and thinks 'I want to operated more in my identity', what's a tool they can put in their tool box to do that?" Jamie's answer was so concise and impactful that I transccribed it into my journal for further reflection and ability to referencee at any time. It was SO timely as I further explore my own identity as a child of my Heavenly Father.There has not been an episode yet thal I've listened to which has not been a combination of informative, helpful, inspirational, thought-provoking, sometimes challenging and always refreshing!

One Place Well

I was at the amazing, life giving EncouragerCon and heard this story recently and can attest to the change in the atmosphere with this strategy!
It has been life changing as I’ve been able to apply this in all aspects of my life. Simple and powerful and purposeful. If you’ve been told “if everything is important, nothing is”.. and wonder how to make it an actual strategy, this is a must listen!

Episode 392 ( Busy Brain )

Mitch definitely has some interesting and useful podcast so I became upset after listening to this episode in particular. Mitch did everything right on his part, the guest I feel as though was just doing the episode to promote her website and book it seems. It appears as though Mitch was attempting to get her to open up more on why he brought her to the episode but she seemed to brush him off and just mention her achievements the whole time. I’m only giving this episode a one star rating because of the guest Mitch, everything else you’ve been doing with the podcast and the people are great. This episode just wasn’t that informative or helpful mostly because of the guest speaker’s response. Thanks. - Naz Ace Rob
