Florida's Fresh Mix

From year-round sunshine that's perfect for solar panels to miles of shoreline that definitely need some cleaning, most Floridians understand that their state needs some environmental tender, love, and care. Today's guest has made it his sole mission to promote simple, yet effective, sustainability actions by focusing on solutions rather than fear-based problems. Dave Finnigan is the author of the Green Actioneers Family Action Guide, an educational workbook that features fun, interactive, activities for students. It also includes over 100 actions for creating more eco-friendly habits that'll help families save energy and money. Dave tells Gerard all about his new book, and he shares a bit about his "former life" as a juggling master. Listen in and learn something new today!

What does it mean to be human? Today's guest has explored that question through nudity and nature. Kerry Kott is a nude nature photographer, physician of Chinese medicine, mentor, teacher, and alchemist, but ... most importantly, she's a human. She leads nude ceremonies -- a.k.a. Wild Woman Events -- for groups of women who are trying to shed their fear, guilt, and shame toward their bodies. Kerry tells Gerard how embracing your nakedness can be a very healing and enriching experience. Plus, she shares how she overcomes people's judgments about her lifestyle.

Think about your all-time favorite dessert. Perhaps it's an ooey-gooey double-chocolate brownie or maybe a luscious piece of red velvet cake. Your mouth is probably watering right now as your innate sweet tooth kicks in (sorry not sorry). Unfortunately, not everyone can indulge in these cravings for such delicacies due to food allergies or dietary restrictions. But today's guest can get around that issue.

Sira Garib is the Founder of Pure Vegan Cakes in West Palm Beach. Her clients range from vegans to non-vegans, but she specializes in customized cakes and desserts for people with extreme dietary restrictions. She tells Gerard how it took her eight months to perfect vegan cake baking. Sira also shares how growing up in Brooklyn inspired her to bake vegan Italian rainbow cookies (Pure Vegan Cakes is the ONLY bakery in South Florida that makes this classic Italian treat, vegan style).
