      Last weekend was the Natural Products Expo in Anaheim. It is an annual event in California and I believe it is the largest trade show for “natural” products. If you imagine one of Whole Foods largest stores on steroids that is what this  show is like. As I relaunch SmartLifeways with more regular posts

  • Day Two of Bioneers-Leading with Our Hearts

    If I had to sum up today’s Bionners Conference Plenary Session I would have to say that the message was to work from our heart. When our work is driven by passion and conviction it no longer feels like work, we seem to have unlimited energy and ideas, and somehow, it often feels as if

    The annual Bioneers Conference is coming soon, and possibly even to a city near you. Last year I attended for the first time and it was an amazing, and empowering experience.
