Tulsy and Rebekah Ball are healthy entrepreneurs making a difference in people’s lives running two separate businesses, Got Matcha and Chagit. We had a great talk about what it takes to start a small business while staying focused on getting others healthy during a worldwide pandemic.
I spoke with them about their travels getting their base products, one from near the arctic circle (Chagit) and the other from Southern Japan (Got Matcha). As a business traveler myself I was really interested in the benefits of their products for people spending so much time away from their home kitchens. I’m sure I’m not the only business traveler that looks for healthier options while on the road

Make sure to follow their social media pages to see where they will be next and how to purchase their products.

ABOUT Chagit
Simply the best Chaga Mushroom extract. The Chaga mushroom may be the most powerful antioxidant ever found, but in its natural state, it’s impossible for a human to digest and gain any benefits. It’s hard to find, hard to harvest and hard to process. Using our proprietary, quadruple extraction process, we make the Chaga Shot easy to get, easy to drink and easy for your body to use. The best Chaga Mushroom extract available anywhere.
Our research team designed our extraction process to obtain the widest spectrum of beneficial compounds at their highest potency, to deliver the ultimate Chaga mushroom power to you without any artificial additives or preservatives. We keep it cold, to lock in its freshness and potency. This is no simple tea.
The Chaga Shot is an all-natural, daily 2 oz blast of energy, immunity and vitality. It has only 4 ingredients, contains no caffeine, no added sugars, colors or preservatives. It is Chaga, better.
ABOUT Got Matcha
Around ..... 21 years ago when Rebekah, our eldest, entered college to become a Certified Holistic Nutritionist. It was at this time she chanced upon an amazing life changing tea called “Matcha”. Years before Starbucks and other chains jumped on the bandwagon, Rebekah discovered for herself, and our family, the power behind Matcha and what the Buddhist temple priests called, “the elixir of the immortals”. We discovered for ourselves the health benefits first hand ... increased energy & clarity, enhanced metabolism and weight management among many other things.
Fast forward to 2010. Fed up with the poor quality and high prices of the matcha being imported, the Kjos family set on a quest to find the rarest and most precious matcha on the earth, and bring it to market at an affordable price. Is all matcha created equal? Absolutely not. What makes our Matcha the finest in the world? Location, soil and the generations of experience of our tea sommelier and farmers. Matcha is only as good as the soil it is grown in, and our Matcha is grown on a small volcanic island in the south of Japan, rich in minerals and volcanic ash; producing a superior Matcha in both taste and L-Theanine content.
You ask, What is L-Theanine? The magic behind Matcha. The higher the content of L-theanine in your matcha, the more potent and greater the benefits to you. Our Black Label, for example, has 2 to 3 times the L-theanine content of any other matcha in the world. And, all of our Matcha and Matcha lifestyle products are certified organic. For the Matcha plant to truly yield the highest levels of nutrients and benefits, the plant must be grown for 5 years before harvest can begin.
Most competitors’ matcha is only grown 2 to 3 years. For Got Matcha it is not about the money, but about the quality. At our plant, every product we create, every tea, superfood bar or matcha protein powder, are created with one end goal; to give our customers the highest quality Matcha Lifestyle foods, to help reverse the downward trend of the aging process and make attainable a higher quality of life.

For musicians, every tour tells two stories
There's the one audiences see—the lights, the sold-out venues, the applause, and the unforgettable performances. Then there's the story behind the curtain: long flights, time away from family, endless creativity, and the challenge of balancing a career with everyday life.
That was the heart of my conversation with Loulou Ghelichkhani, the internationally acclaimed vocalist of Thievery Corporation and the creative force behind Night Glitter, on The Travel Wins Podcast.
Known for her mesmerizing voice and captivating stage presence, Loulou has spent more than two decades performing around the globe with Thievery Corporation. But behind the music is an artist, mother, and traveler whose story is every bit as compelling as the songs she performs.Two Decades Touring the WorldFew artists understand international travel quite like Loulou.After joining Thievery Corporation in the late 1990s, she found herself performing in some of the world's most iconic venues while building a career that has taken her across continents. Touring became more than part of the job—it became a way of life.During our conversation, she shared what it's really like living out of suitcases, adapting to different cultures, and maintaining creativity despite the demanding pace of the road.A New Creative Chapter with Night GlitterWhen the global pandemic paused live touring, it unexpectedly created space for something new.Rather than viewing the break as a setback, Loulou embraced the opportunity to focus on her own artistic vision through Night Glitter, a project that allowed her to explore new sounds while preparing for the return of live performances.Our discussion explores how creative people can turn unexpected challenges into opportunities for growth and reinvention.Balancing Motherhood and MusicOne of the most meaningful parts of our conversation centered on family.Being an internationally touring musician often means spending extended periods away from home, yet Loulou spoke candidly about raising her daughter while navigating the demands of a global music career.It's a balancing act familiar to many business travelers, entrepreneurs, and performers. Success often requires sacrifice, but maintaining strong relationships requires intention.Her perspective serves as a reminder that no matter where work takes us, family remains the destination that matters most.Fashion, Identity and Self-ExpressionFans have long admired Loulou not only for her voice but also for her distinctive sense of style.During our interview, we discussed how fashion becomes another form of creative expression for performers. Stage presence extends beyond music, allowing artists to communicate personality and confidence before a single note is sung.Authenticity—both in music and in personal style—has become one of the defining characteristics of her career.The Joy and Challenge of Constant TravelOne of the core themes of The Travel Wins Podcast is discovering how successful people make life on the road work for them.Loulou shared insights into the realities of constant travel, from unforgettable venues and passionate audiences to the physical and emotional demands of touring.Travel isn't always glamorous, but it offers experiences that shape both artists and the music they create.Reinvention Through CreativityOne lesson echoed throughout our conversation: creativity never stands still.Rather than remaining comfortable with past success, Loulou continues to evolve as a songwriter, performer, and artist.That willingness to grow is something listeners from every profession can appreciate. Whether you're building a business, pursuing a creative dream, or navigating career changes, growth often begins by embracing the unknown.Why This Episode Still ResonatesLoulou's story extends far beyond music.It's about balancing ambition with family, embracing change, and staying true to your artistic voice despite an ever-changing industry.Listeners will hear practical insights about:

• Life as an international touring musician
• Building a long-lasting creative career
• Motherhood while traveling
• Reinventing yourself through new creative projects
• Maintaining balance on the road
• Finding inspiration through travel and culture

These lessons resonate not only with musicians but with anyone whose work takes them away from home.Listen to the Full ConversationWhether you've followed Thievery Corporation for years, recently discovered Night Glitter, or simply enjoy hearing inspiring stories from people who travel for a living, this episode offers an engaging and authentic conversation.Watch the full interview to hear Loulou Ghelichkhani share the experiences, lessons, and creativity that have shaped her remarkable journey.If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe to The Travel Wins Podcast, share it with fellow music lovers, and explore more conversations with artists, entrepreneurs, athletes, and world travelers who prove that every journey has a story worth telling.
