Although we’re in a time where we might be tempted to view microorganisms as the enemy, Susan & Tico will always be the closest friends and collaborators with the microbial world. Discover how they're living their motto of compassion, culture and community in more ways than one:
- Conscious business owners like Susan & Tico tend to realize when all the success in the world doesn’t compare to the fulfillment offered by life’s simplest interactions. Hear about how the Coronavirus opened up surprising opportunities to successfully do what they’ve always wanted to do with their Kombucha and fermented food company Radiate.
- Our physical and emotional health is more dependent on the health of our microbiome than we may realize.
- Microbiology makes us realize how individual bodies aren’t just a singular intelligence located in the brain, but vast interconnected systems. Similarly, the Coronavirus has caused us to reflect on our own interconnected and interdependent nature. We talk about the power and value of community.
- Service is both a fundamentally selfish and fundamentally selfish notion.
Welcome to part 3 of the podcasts' Service With New Purpose Series! Basically, I'm now dedicating most of the podcast to speaking with brilliant and visionary service-oriented minds that are now living and working in a whole new world of service. Whether people work in a dormant service industry (i.e. bars/restaurants, hotels), an active one (online stuff, essential services, etc.) or are simply living a service-oriented life, they are facing tremendous challenges that are offering potentially valuable insights for the rest of us.
Many have been kind enough to speak with me and give me the opportunity to learn how they are serving their communities and also themselves as they adapt to the endlessly unfolding uncertainty. Have a listen and witness our innate human ability to serve, re-formed into whatever it needs to be help those who need it most.
