Tad Hargrave is a hippy who developed a knack for marketing (and then learned to be a hippy again).
Tune in today for a lively discussion on a variety of topics including…
* Coercion versus persuasion.
* Rebellion versus submission.
* Reacting versus responding.
* The vibe chart - how we tend to pendulum between posturing and collapsing (full blog post from Tad here - https://marketingforhippies.com/vibechart/)
* Poem read by Tad during the interview A Ritual to Read Each other - by William Stafford
Tad’s Bio…
Tad spent his late teens being schooled in a mixed bag of approaches to sales and marketing – some manipulative and some not. When that career ended, he spent a decade unlearning and unpacking what he’d been through.
How had he been swept up in it? Why didn’t those approaches work as well as advertised? Were there ways of marketing that both worked better and felt better to all involved? It took him time but he began to find a better way to market.
By 2006, he had become one of the first, full-time ‘conscious business’ marketing coaches (for hippies) and created a business where he could share the understanding he had come to: Marketing could feel good. You didn’t have to choose between marketing that worked (but felt awful) or marketing that felt good (but got you no clients).
Since 2001, he has been touring his marketing workshops around Canada, the United States, Europe, and online, bringing refreshing and unorthodox ideas to conscious entrepreneurs and green businesses that help them grow their organizations and businesses (without selling their souls). Instead of charging outrageous amounts, he started doing most of his events on a pay what you can basis. He is the author of sixteen books and workbooks on marketing.
Tad currently lives in Edmonton, Alberta (traditionally known, in the local indigenous language of the Cree, as Amiskwaciy (Beaver Hill) and later Amiskwaciwaskihegan (Beaver Hill House)) and his ancestors come primarily from Scotland with some from the Ukraine as well. He is now dedicated to spending the rest of his days preserving and fostering a more deeply respectful, beautiful and human culture.

Feeling stuck and overwhelmed can often go hand in hand.

* A discussion about identifying resistance and listening to one’s body.
* The concept of a ‘penny walk’ and how small actions can lead to big feelings of accomplishment.
*A discussion of finding what truly motivates you / encourages you to take action.

Kristan and Suzanne discussed their experiences with implementing things to help reduce symptoms and/or make changes in their routines.
They also discuss some of the negative impacts from both family and clients from rushing into implementing changes.
Tune in today for…
* Understanding how a personalised steady ‘one thing at a time’ plan can help you make more progress than rushing into many things quickly because you want to feel better, yesterday.
* Working towards long term gains rather than quick changes and short term relief followed by things not working
* Introducing the Root Cause Protocol (RCP) that Kristan uses in her work is best done in this way - one new thing every 5 - 7 days and listen to the feedback your body provides
* Everyone has the same building blocks needed for nutrition and metabolism, but individual needs do vary because of lifestyle, environment and stress.
* Kristan discusses a new program coming to her business later in 2023.
* Suzanne shared her experience throughout the episode in working with Kristan and the benefits of sustainable changes this work offers.

It’s REALLY hard these days to know how to best nourish your body and that of your family. The simplicity of getting fresh fruit and vegetables from local grocers who source their produce locally has become more and more distant of a memory for most of us, and you never quite know where the food has come from and often have to trust that it’s going to be nutrient dense.
Kristan is really passionate about helping people to learn how to optimise nutrients in - including making sure that we come to know that the food we eat today from the fruit and veg section at our supermarket (or even sometimes local grocers) is not what it once was nutrients wise! It may have been stored for many months from harvest, with diminishing nutrients. It may have been sprayed with pesticides that are not really meant to be eaten and growing conditions are often poor so they look nice but don’t taste as good nor last as long as they once did.
There’s an impact on the nutrients and benefits we get based on how the produce is farmed and how long between harvesting and arriving at our local store.
The good news is there’s a growing farming community around Australia (and the world) who are aiming to maximise the nutrients while also supporting local farmers. Regenerative agriculture aims to result in improved land health and as a result the quality of produce improves too - win-win for all of us!
Today we talked with Kristen Ottaway from Spray Free Farmacy in South East Queensland (Australia) and covered things you can start to do no matter where you are based. We talk about some small steps you can use to help you get started… plus some areas to learn more about if you are curious.
In today’s episode, you can learn more about:
What is the premise of Spray Free Farmacy?
How did ‘Spray Free Farmacy’ come to exist?
Where do I start if I want to change to buying spray free produce?
What’s the difference between spray free and organic produce?
Understanding what a “CSA” is and how it can be a useful starting point
Using the “dirty dozen” to help you as another starting point. Select some spray free or organic produce to prioritise due to the heavy load of chemicals often used in general farming during their growth
Some documentaries mentioned:
Kiss the ground: documentary about farming processes and the impact
Regenerative agriculture film: Polyfaces - Joel Salatin
What’s with wheat - Cyndi O’Meara
Charlie Arnott Podcast “The regenerative journey” - a favourite of Kristan’s relating to regenerative agriculture.

Today's episode is all about pruning in order to grow, and where the hidden gifts may be in cutting back.

* Where do we learn the definition of failure? How much of what we carry is conditioning from childhood. How can we redefine failure for ourselves?

* How can we learn from our mistakes? Separating our self worth from external stats.

What activities are self soothing for you? Where is the line between self soothing and self harm?
Do you watch Netflix and scroll and draw comfort from these activities? OR does it become a mind numbing way of avoiding your feelings and responsibilities?
Tune in today for…
* A discussion of what is self soothing versus self harming consuming behaviours and how sometimes the line between the two becomes blurry.
* Allowing ourselves to zoom out and witness ourselves, and ask the question - why am I doing this? What deeper need is it serving?
* The guilt associated with taking time purely for ourselves and how to overcome these feelings.
* How not to become overly influenced by the expectations of others that we let go of our own priorities.

In this episode we are joined by Kristen King. Kristen is a sweary life and business coach for womxn and femme folx who want to give fewer fucks. Her clients are sick and tired of having to be so freaking perfect all the time, and Kristen helps them reclaim their fucks so they can use them for the shit they actually care about — instead of spending all their time trying to be “good girls” and living up to other people’s expectations.
She's on a mission to help 10,000 womxn fall in love with themselves and their lives in the next 5 years. In addition to being a coach, Kristen is also a mental health and wellness facilitator who loves helping people find compassion and connection with themselves as they learn to hold space for their own emotions. Her specialties are perfectionism, people-pleasing, anxiety, overwhelm, and burning down the motherfucking patriarchy one reclaimed fuck at a time.
Tune in today for…
* How to move past people pleasing - it’s not our job to tend to everybody else’s emotions.
* Harry Potter as a coaching metaphor - boggarts, spells and how to overcome our own fears that keep us from taking action.
*A worked example of Boggart-Banishing Spell (be warned there is singing involved!)
* How to shift our conditioned responses, and change what we will and won’t tolerate in our lives.
