Music entrepreneur and philanthropist Ryan Gall has made one of the strongest communities out there. On April 18th, some of music’s biggest names like Lady Gaga, Elton John and Paul McCartney performed at the digital concert, “One World Together at Home”, that raised almost $128 million dollars in response to the COVID-19 crisis.

This initiative is part of Global Citizen Festival, which he co-founded in 2012. He has also produced countless documentaries and video content for artists like Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna and Shakira and as well as the Grammy-award-winning documentary "Big Easy Express". 

He joins us to speak about how he turned an idea into a platform that has inspired millions to take actions on issues that affect the world. His currency: a community with a shared passion for music and activism.

We're more connected than ever, yet we're so disconnected. Where did we go wrong? Actress, writer, producer, entrepreneur and activist, Ivana de María, shares her take on why it's harder to grow up and find yourself in an era of ego, competition and  comparison.

We spoke about it last week and we'll say it again: unlock your full potential through pleasure! This time Karina Velasco, tantric therapist and erotic mindfulness coach, teaches us about the limitless potential of orgasmic energy.

Bestselling author, media personality and CEO of The School of Womanly Arts, Regena Thomashauer, joins our podcast Sources of Inspiration to talk about healing our relationship with ourselves through pleasure: that's sex, an early cup of tea, catching up with friends or whatever ignites those 8,000 nerve-endings in our body dedicated to pleasure! 

In Regena's words: "When a woman owns her pussy, she owns her life"! 

On this episode of Sources of Inspiration we speak about the dirty side of beauty. Research has shown that women apply around 15 products daily with an average of 515 chemicals making their way into our body and discarding billions of plastic bottles a year.

That’s where Aislinn and Marianna come into play with their all-natural brand, AMAI, a line of personal care products free of parabens, silicones, fragrance and plastic that is thinking outside the box- literally!

On this week's Sources of Inspiration podcast, Bertha González Nieves, CEO of tequila house Casa Dragones, reminds us that purpose evolves as we age and it's the secret to unlock the reality we wish to create. 

The first female Maestra Tequilera launched her brand with MTV's Bob Pittman in 2008. She directs her energy and never-ending curiosity to a sophisticated spirit served at world-class restaurants like The Nomad and Cosme in New York. 

Bertha has been paving the way for women in the tequila industry for over a decade and is encouraging new generations to lead with intellect and professionalism. Yet, nothing makes sense —she asserts– without creating balance.

At the time Rea Ann Silva created Beautyblender, she was a makeup artist for the series "Girlfriend" starring Tracee Ellis Ross. She had already built up a name for herself by working with celebrities like Mariah Carey, Brandi and Whitney Houston, but makeup for high definition television was a new challenge. The Latin business woman learned tricks from the special effects teams and techniques from the silver screen era to develop a sponge applicator in the shape of a teardrop. It worked so well that people started stealing them from her sets.

In 2002 she launched the business that has now sold over 50 million bright pink sponges. Over the years, other brands have released a similar product, but Beauty Blender remains at the top projecting over $200 million in global sales this year. It has been recognized as the Best Makeup Tool by the Cosmetic Executive Women Beauty Awards and is the Best of Beauty winner by Allure magazine multiple years over. She recently released Bounce, a liquid foundation in 40 shades with rave reviews. The mother of two and new grandmother has mastered the art of hard work and is here with us today to speak her truth about accomplishing dreams, being fearless and how to overcome hardships as an entrepreneur.

Yovana Mendoza Ayres introduced her blog Rawvana in 2013 to share how our raw vegan lifestyle had helped her get her life back in order. She built a fan base of 2 million followers on her YouTube channel who turned to her for tips on exercise, routine healthy recipes, clean beauty practices, and an eco-friendly lifestyle. Before she transformed her life, Yovana was a young student living in Paris where she struggled with her health and addictions to substances. In December 2012, she decided to take control of her health and went to a healing center for a week to detox. There she learned the beauty of a plant-based diet. Over time, she has become more in tune with her body and has recently started incorporating some non-vegan options to her diet. She's now starting a new chapter of her career under the name: Yovana and she is here with us today to speak about how it's not about a diet, but about listening to your body and where she finds motivation to continue to spread her mission.

On today's podcast, we welcome Amy Duncan, founder of Mowellens,  beauty and wellness company dedicated to creating a range of clean CBD-infused products. Her journey as an entrepreneur started after learning that her husband's brain tumor had returned. Originally from Saint Louis, Missouri, Amy moved to California with a job promotion in health and biotech research.

At the time, Amy was testing for pure cannabis and discovered that products were being obstructed with butane and other solvents. With a deep knowledge and passion for the plant, she saw the opportunity to create a line of CBD goods, free of pesticides, additives, and synthetic and toxic compounds. Her brand has been featured in major publications like W magazine, US Weekly and Forbes. While her story has also been inspiring people all over, sadly, her husband, a former professional baseball player for the Saint Louis Cardinals and World Series Champion passed away this September at the age of 38, but his memory will forever live in Amy and her company.

Johnny seized the opportunity, and in the face of racism and tough conditions, he paved his way to the top. He now collaborates with big brands like L'Orèal and travels the world teaching his technique that has helped many hairdressers and salons around the world to shift their reality–like his housekeeper, Maggie Garcia, who went from scrubbing floors to buying a home for her and her daughter. Listen to his story here.
