Almost 30

Carly Stein lives and breathes bees. She is a beekeeper herself, an advocate for saving the bees (and our food supply) through sustainable beekeeping, and the Founder + CEO of Beekeeper’s Naturals.

 

If you haven’t heard of it yet, Beekeeper’s Naturals is an incredible company with a simple purpose: to bring us the highest quality products from the hive and nurture a greater awareness for saving our bees. Their naturally-sourced superfoods are effective alternatives to some of your typical, chemical-based OTC medicines – and these superfoods have become an important part of Lindsey + Krista’s daily routines as of late, helping them feel their best by leveraging the magic of nature!

 

Carly’s story also has a way of making you want to keep bees, too! Should we?!?!  She’s so smart, so kind, and on a mission to #savethebees. This episode’s conversation includes…

 

• How propolis changed Carly’s life + not being able to find any in Vancouver inspired her to start Beekeeper’s Naturals
• Falling in love with beekeeping
• The female-driven bee society
• Why “organic” honey is actually extremely difficult to produce (even if it’s made on an organic farm)
• Why we’re losing a disproportionate number of bees – and why that’s a HUGE problem!
• All the bee products: propolis, pollen, honey, and royal jelly
• Why Carly washes her face with honey
• The benefits of CBD + how BKD created a unique CBD honey
• Building up the Beekeeper’s Naturals business
• Finding your dream job
• The hardest part of running BKN
• How you can turn your vision + passion into a business
• Learning to ignore the BS stories we tell ourselves that hold us back
• How Beekeeper’s Naturals will change the world (and how you can help)

So many people in the Secret Facebook Group have been talking about it, so today #ALMOST30NATION is invading Bachelorette Nation for a conversation with Eric Bigger, previously a cast member on The Bachelorette Season 13, currently a cast member on Bachelor in Paradise Season 5 (which just premiered on August 7th) – and so so so much more than that!

 

Eric offers us a peek behind the scenes of a reality TV show, dishes on all the dirt, and offers an interesting perspective on the lack of diversity in shows like these. Of course, it’s not all reality TV. We also chat about...

 

• Krista + Eric have the same birthday
• Dating on TV + in the real world
• Listening to understand, not be understood
• Being “emotion rich” (as opposed to material rich)
• Understanding why people cheat
• Commitment isn’t the same thing for everyone
• Connecting with the other men on The Bachelorette

Being told to “tone it down” + “not be too deep”

Becoming a new-age role model

Diversity in Reality TV

What Eric does at the end of day

What The Bachelorette house is like on a day-to-day basis

The 600-question questionnaire contestants have to fill out

How being on The Bachelorette has affected Eric’s dating life

You’ve probably already heard of Dave Asprey, or at least Bulletproof Coffee and the Bulletproof Diet. It’s pretty much grown from a trend to a phenomenon over the past couple years. Lindsey + Krista, honestly, didn’t quite know what Dave would be like in an interview – but Dave really showed up for this conversation and, as you’ll hear, he is truly passionate about the brand, the mission, and the movement behind Bulletproof.

 

We were also able to ask a lot of your questions in this episode! We love being able to bring all of you into the conversation, before and after the episode. So if you want to talk Bulletproof with #ALMOST30NATION (or provide your own insight and commentary for future episodes), click here to join the secret Facebook group!

 

This episode includes…

 

• How Dave made a small fortune by the time he was 26... and then lost it when he was 28
• Being the first person to sell a product over the internet
• The connection between gut health + brain health
• Importing smart drugs from Europe
• Dave’s journey building the Bulletproof brand + business
• You are simultaneously a rational human being + an irrational animal
• Raising $50M+ in funding for Bulletproof
• How holotropic breathing (a successor to Stanislav Grof’s LSD-based psychedelic therapy) transformed Dave’s life
• The biology of belief
• Why younger people are wiser today than they were 40 years ago
• What you eat affects how you feel – more than anything else!
• If you stop doing the things that make you weak, that’s more powerful than doing the things that make you strong
• Ketones + ketosis
• The relationship between Bulletproof, ketones, ketosis, and hormones
• Intermittent fasting for women
• Why almost every spiritual traditional has an element of fasting
• The staples of the Bulletproof diet that everyone should be leveraging
• How inflammatory foods affect you days later
• What’s up with coffee?
• Dave’s favorite biohack right now

Amber Rae is an artist, writer, creative, and curious human being – and joins the girls this week for an in-depth, candid conversation about the stories we tell ourselves. If you’ve ever found yourself in a job, a situation, or a relationship where you’ve felt stuck or weighed down, Amber has been there too and has written a beautiful, relatable book to help others ignite their curiosity and move through their fear.

 

Choose Wonder Over Worry: Move Beyond Fear and Doubt to Unlock Your Full Potential is helping people all over the world become unstuck and conquer their fears, and we are so excited to share it with #ALMOST30NATION. Keep your eyes on Instagram (@almost30podcast) because we’ll also be giving away three copies of the book!

 

Another thing that kind of blew us away about this conversation was the level of vulnerability and honesty that Amber shares. She’s already caused us to start thinking more about being really honest and open with our feelings so that we can expand and grow, in our relationships and just our lives in general, and we know she’ll help all of you grow as well! We chat about…

 

• Creating a story about your life that doesn’t serve you – and then rewriting it!
• Learning to listen to your intuition
• Numbing yourself with pharmaceuticals + overcoming an addiction to Adderall
• Losing your father as a child
• Our relationship with death
• We always find the evidence for what we choose to believe
• The unique process Amber went through to write her book
• Becoming aware of the story you tell yourself
• What scientific insights Amber learned while researching her book
• Fear of being radically raw + open
• Open relationships
• Dropping the shame around doing things differently
• Being a shadow artist: someone who is behind other people, helping to elevate and push them forward because they’re afraid to step into the light
• Living your life out of alignment
