What The F*t?!

My guest today is a woman, a mother, a wife, a creator, a thought leader, a lover, a gratitude junkie, an entrepreneur, a friend, a sister, a listener, a do-er. She craves a bigger, even more expansive community and conversation. After starting a vegan cookie company as a vehicle to talk about gratitude, she started a women’s circle that evolved to Grateful Gatherings. She started the region’s first shared-use kitchen space and that inspiration led to a podcast series to share deep conversations. She has a big passion for spreading gratitude and I’m so grateful she’s here today, please welcome, Rachel DesRochers of Grateful Grahams!

My guest today took a leap of faith to follow her dreams, moving across the world to Copenhagen, Denmark with her husband. Ignited by accomplishing the difficult goal to move overseas, she fully realized her passion for yoga- for her, it goes beyond the physical workout- it opens the heart, frees the mind, and connects one to their truest self. She received her 200 hour training at the Rishikesh Yoga Teacher Training Center in India and is level 2 Reiki Certified. As a new mom, she’s also received her 65 hour Prenatal and Postnatal yoga teacher training. Please welcome, one of my very best friends, Hannah Lyons with Power Yoga Copenhagen!

My guest today was a musician on the cusp of breakout success, when in 2008, he was wrongfully convicted in Cincinnati, OH and subsequently served almost 13 years in prison for an armed robbery he didn't commit. Crucial DNA evidence withheld by the State from his defense at trial proved his innocence, and a federal court finally threw out his convictions in 2020. Additional misconduct by the State kept Christopher locked up in a county jail even after the federal court ordered his immediate release. Under threat of contempt charges from the federal court, the State finally released him, and he walked free with the help of the Ohio Innocence Project. Now he has a message and practical solutions. Just weeks after his release he has launched OH10Unlimited, his start-up company aimed at training youths and young adults to set goals, establish a rock solid work ethic, and connect with mentors. OH10Unlimited specifically focuses on music as therapy and as a means to address the need for criminal justice reform. OH10Unlimited promotes and trains young artists in every aspect of a complete and healthy human being: physical fitness conditioning; emotional well-being by connecting its members with a network of positive and productive people; and by providing high-quality, practical, essential tools young artists need to make a marketable product but often can't afford. Please welcome, Christopher Smith, aka Ol’ Hound!
