Our guest today is Emily Groden, Founder of Evergreen, a clean, frozen waffle brand.

Emily has one of these very impressive backgrounds: undergrad at Yale, law school at Harvard, and a career in M&A Law, all going according to her life's plan. As a competitive college swimmer, she knew about the importance of fueling herself with nutritious ingredients.

She started a career in law at Kirkland & Ellis where she focused on Private Equity deals.

Then, one night, Netflix led her to Chef's Table and an episode about Alinea, a three-Michelin star restaurant in Chicago - and it inspired her so much that she sent a cold email to Alinea's founder Nick Kokonas asking if he needed a lawyer.

Long story short, Emily joined them a week after. She learned the importance of being innovative and following her gut, asking why things "had" to be a certain way. 

You will hear how that expansive mindset led to her founding Evergreen in September 2020, right  in the middle of Covid.

In this episode, we are going to cover her story and lessons learnt, so you can apply these to your OWN life and career.

In this episode, my guest is Cyril Benzaquen.

Cyril is not only five-time World Kickboxing and Muay Thai champion, but also holds a Masters in Management from the prestigious Dauphine University in Paris, is a model and an entrepreneur.

Very young, Cyril understood that his defeats were often linked to a lack of mental preparation, and he began to visualize his future victories from his first steps in the ring.

His physical strength and agility were thus quickly solidified by mental toughness, and thanks to a training routine which includes amongst others meditation, visualization and breathwork.

His sporting discipline now allows him to also be a successful businessman.

We dive into Cyril’s rituals, tips and tricks to build mental fitness and self-belief. Whether you are a CEO, leader, Corporate athlete or sport athlete, this episode is full of inspiration - enjoy :-)

Our guest today is Patricia Fripp.

Patricia Fripp is a renowned professional speaker, public speaking coach and author. Clients of her speech coaching include corporate leaders, financial advisors, technical and sales professionals, professional speakers, athletes and media celebrities.

However, it didn’t all start this way. 

Patricia moved to San Francisco from England in  the1970’s at age 20 with no job or contacts and only $500.

When she first arrived from England, Patricia worked in one of the first men's hairstyling salons with a legendary Hollywood hairstylist.

She then reinvented her professional path from the beauty / hairstyling industry to the public speaking one.

In this episode, we talk about her story of what she calls evolution rather than reinvention; building expertise and her lessons learnt on changing career path, developing new expertise as well as her secrets on how to make more persuasive and impactful connections with others, in business and life in general.

ars Corporate Professional (over 13 years in finance) turned Human Potential Coach and entrepreneur as the founder of We Live One Life.  

And most importantly, I am an unshakable optimist who relentlessly explores human potential, driven by a deep sense of purpose: how we can live better, more intentional and regret-free lives –in and out of work?

A near-death life altering experience surviving the Tsunami in Thailand in 2004, awakened me to this purpose and the fact that our time on earth is limited.

We Live One Life is on a mission to empower leaders and professionals to create an intentional life and career, in alignment with their authentic self – so they can unlock their unique potential, achieve sustainable success, and feel happier, on their own terms.
