018: The Evolution of the Light Cellar // Malcolm Saunders (Light Cellar)


Listen Later

It truly was such an honour to have Malcolm Saunders the owner, founder and creative visionary behind the Light Cellar. The Light Cellar is considered to be one of the premier superfood stores in North America. One of Malcolm’s missions is to remind us that our food choices have the power to help make the world a better place and I believe this conversation reflected just that…

In this episode Malcolm and I start at the beginning and unpack his dynamic journey through the health and wellness world and uncover the experiences that helped shape him into the leader that he is today.

-Malcolm defines all that the Light Cellar encompasses

-Malcolm’s personal journey with diet and nutrition (transitioning into as well as out of a vegetarian diet)

-how the Light Cellar was created

-the parallels between spirituality and buisness

-connection economy / relationship economy 

 -Malcolm’s proudest accomplishments for the Light Cellar

-and of course… MUSHROOMS!!!


Super excited to share a new segment of listener Q&A from you guys!!

Our listeners asked:

  • Psilocybin mushrooms, can you tell me all you know? (from Cam @ache.689)
  • Key to a long, healthy life! (from Deniz @astronotesbydeniz

Malcolm also answered my three Lightening Round Questions:

  • How do you define success?
  • If you were to be given $10 million dollars tomorrow, what would you do with it?
  • What is one thing that you are grateful for today?

“You often feel tired, not because you've done too much, but because you've done too little of what sparks a light in you... What if we're not doing too much, but rather we're just doing too little of what truly matters? It's not hard work that exhausts us, it's meaningless work that exhausts us.” -Alexander Den Heijer
