Nicki tells us her recommendations on ways to help (Hint: do NOT go on google!) & how this experience has made her a better person..."Being a survivor is something that NOBODY can take away from you. Even though it seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel there is. You will probably never be the same person, but I know for me personally, love and faith is what got me through it as a patient and as a daughter."

*Clink, Chat & Catch Up!* with Jason Elkin @JE_Uncorked!

You don’t grow up in the Napa Valley without being aware of what’s up in the wine industry! And that’s Jason Elkin’s story, born and raised among California’s finest vineyards. Considered by many today as one of the best award-winning filmmaker/producers for the wine industry, Jason’s combined gifts as a wine educator/entertainer/spokesperson remains just as intertwined in his personality as are the abundant grapevines of the Valley. 
 From an early age, Jason had a natural attraction to the visual and performing arts. Painting, singing, dancing became passions, and it was a California State School Scholarship in Dance that got him into Fresno State University at sixteen. By seventeen, he auditioned at the San Francisco Ballet and was selected from hundreds that auditioned. Almost simultaneously, he was hired as the youngest professional dancer/singer to perform in the Cast Revue aboard Royal Caribbean’s Legend of the Seas. By twenty he had dance and choreography experience with Deborah Gibson, Tommy Tune, Gregory Hines, Savion Glover and Janet Jackson’s dance crew. Upon returning home, he continued to choreograph for Miss Teen and Miss California beauty pageants. 
*CLINK!* HERE to listen!
Jason’s knowledge of wine, mated with his show-business knack for self-promotion and sales, that took him to jobs in nearly every arena of the wine and hospitality industry. This allowed him to form JTE Productions & Entertainment, a business centering to the education of vineyards and wines sales through video production. In addition to his own wine label, smart phone app’s and other products sold in over fourteen countries, his role as wine industry spokesman at various marketing companies and symposiums, Jason is also producing/hosting a multi-part series for television, sky television, Mobile content suppliers and Web distribution that combines wine education into an exciting and entertaining vehicle for wine enthusiasts everywhere! Stay tuned for his upcoming show: Uncorked!
 
We talk with Jason about growing up in the Napa Valley, how he found & followed his passion for wine & memorable wine experiences, and who inspires him in both the wine & the entertainment industries.  He tells us some delightful stories of how he came to be a choreographer for different pageants & top celebrities! (diamonds on tap shoes?!) He shares some fantastic advice: Respect Your Talents. Protect Your Passions. Ask Questions!

Find us on twitter: @JE_Uncorked

Jason *pops the cork* to @TiffanyElkin1 @Cassflow @MatriarchMGInc

*Clink, Chat & Catch Up!* w/ Gabrielle Posard @Don8DontDumpOrg!


Inspired by her sister making a documentary about hunger, Gabrielle created the "Donate Don't Dump" logo to spread awareness about hunger and food waste. She started Donate Don't Dump to change the paradigm of food waste and link concerns about the environment and sustainability to alleviating hunger. 
 *CLINK!* HERE to listen!

We talk about how at age 12, she created Donate, Don't Dump, to feed hungry families in her local community with food that was being disposed of needlessly. She tells us why it is important for her to keep on working to inspire others, how "just a kid" really can make a difference. She shares how her mom is her personal guide & mentor (awwww)!
 
Since we can't ask what she would tell herself looking back at 21 (ummm, because she is 16!), we turn the tables & ask her what she'd tell herself in the future at 21. The answer is sooooo fab. Gabrielle has been featured in People Mag, writes for HuffPo & on the day I visited (Global Youth Service Day) had several interviews happening all at once! Have a listen, read more & then get yourself to Donate, Don't Dump, at once!


 
By encouraging grocers and food companies to donate their surplus or short dated food and spreading awareness, her team has been credited for increasing donations by over 800,000 pounds. In the US over 96 billion pounds of edible food end up in landfills, while 1 in 4 children in the US experience hunger. Gabrielle's mission is to make food rescue as common as recycling. Companies that donate are protected from liability by a National Law, get tax benefits, reduce dumpster fees, and are just doing the right thing. She has been honored by California State Senators, US Representative Darrell Issa, and other elected officials.

Gabrielle is a member of the Hunger Advocacy Network and The North County Food Policy Council. She advocates and lobbies in Sacramento for the environment, hungry families and promotes AB341, California's Mandatory Recycling Law, and has worked to pass Zero Waste Ordinances, as well as currently raising awaresness for Bill SB134 "No Hunger For Heroes", to help struggling military families put food on their table.

"In recognition of your outstanding achievements, The White House is proud to announce, Donate Don't Dump is an official Certifying Organization of the President’s Volunteer Service Award, a prestigious national honor offered in recognition of volunteer commitment to service..."

 

*CLINK!* HERE to listen!
Question: What is the single largest component of waste going to landfills?

Answer: Food! Sadly, 40% of all food produced goes from farm to store to landfill.





 Gabrielle's bio on the Huffington Post: "Gabrielle Posard is a 16-year-old high school sophomore from San Diego County that created the national charity, Donate Don’t Dump. Her goal is to change the paradigm of commercial food waste; reduce landfill dumping, decrease methane gas pollution, and alleviate hunger in a sustainable manner. At age 12, she discovered that in the U.S. over 96 billion pounds of edible food ends up in landfills, enough to fill 91 Empire State Buildings, yet 1 in 4 children experience hunger. Her dual solution alleviates hunger while helping to reduce landfill waste by promoting “food rescue”; coordinating grocers and food companies to donate their surplus or short dated food to food banks instead of dumping it. Her organization has grown to over 4,000 members/partners in four States engaging young people to get involved to collect and distribute food, help pass Zero Waste Legislation, and advocate for the environment and hungry. Her teen organization has been credited for rescuing over 800,000 pounds of food and 650,000 meals. Gabrielle's mission is to make commercial “food rescue” as common as recycling. She has been featured in PEOPLE magazine online and received multiple awards for her work."

*Clink,Chat & Catch Up!* w/ Charlotte Chipperfield @TheWineKey!

We Clink & Chat w/ Charlotte Chipperfield, the Founder and Wine Educator of The Wine Key!  Charlotte has over 10 years experience in the Wine Industry and Hospitality. She’s worked as a Cellar Rat, (Yep! That's a real job title), Tasting Room Manager, Sommelier and Wine Writer. Through these experiences, & seen a disconnect between wine knowledge and the enjoyment of wine. Charlotte seek to bridge the gap by removing the pretentiousness which only serves to intimidate.
*CLINK!* Here to listen!

She started The Wine Key because of her mission to remove the intimidation and trepidation of learning about wine by breaking down the barriers which mystify the world of wine.
*CLINK!* Here to listen!
When it comes down to it, wine is much more than a beverage. It has been enjoyed for thousands of years and transcends through history, culture, traditions, languages and food. It is a way of understanding where we came from, who we are and where we are going. Wine is a form of communication, expression and a source of utter enjoyment.

HEAR HEAR & *CLINK!* TO THAT!!!!! 
In her words:

Let me illustrate a story: You're sitting in a restaurant - wine list in hand - with a glazed expression scanning a list that feels foreign and unreadable. As you scan frantically for a recognizable varietal, a pretentious waiter demands which wine? Your stress levels instantly spike, and you automatically agree with your friend’s choice in glass. Yikes! Well, let me tell you this: We’ve all been there. Lost, overwhelmed, pressured. I’m here to eliminate that rush of emotions. Wine doesn’t need to be stressful (except for when the bottle empties!). I can assure that nothing here at The Wine Key will feel pretentious. In fact, it will feel like the exact opposite.
We talk about exactly that: demystifying wine.  Charlotte says "Eat what you like & drink what you like!". We chat about her upcoming classes & events, including a "Wine Relay Event" in partnership with Dogpatch Wineworks, her "Boozy Academy", her first ebook The Quick Sippy & 2nd upcoming book about *gasp* sparkling wine! And much more, *pop a cork* & enjoy with us, talkin' all things wine!

Bubbly Talk Radio w/ Kathy Ireland of @kathyirelandWW!




Kathy Ireland. Instantly, so many adjectives come to mind when one thinks of the name, not to mention one of the most recognizable faces in the world.

Business Woman. Motivational Speaker. Philanthropist. Model. Actress. Entrepreneur. Designer. Author. Activist. CEO. Wife of 25 years. Busy Mom of 3.

Once a “SuperModel” who rose to fame in the 1980's and 1990's as a swimsuit model who appeared in 13 consecutive Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues, (and, was on the cover of the best selling issue of SI of ALL time!), today Kathy Ireland is recognized as a world class “SuperMogul”, as crowned on the cover of Forbes magazine.

*CLINK!* here to listen!
 
  Kathy Ireland is the Chair, CEO, and Chief Designer for kathy ireland Worldwide®, (kiWW®) the design and marketing firm, she founded in 1993, with a pair of socks, an idea and meager financial resources.

    
kiWW  has since morphed into a design empire with annual retail sales of nearly $2 billion, and Kathy tells us about being there every step of the way, making every creative decision & ensuring that the strategic partnerships she forms have her high principles before she allows her name to be associated with a business. The team's 4 core principles are: Fashion, Quality, Value and Safety.
kathy ireland Worldwide has grown tremendously to offer more than socks (now on her 100 millionth pair!), including designs in home, office, outdoor, entertaining, fashion, fine jewelry, haircare, publishing, weddings (she provides everything: from the gown of your dreams to hosting your special day at one of her destination properties) and so much more.
*CLINK!* here to listen!
Kathy has won numerous awards, too many to mention, but some of them include:  Messenger of Peace Award from the Jewish National Fund,  the Designing Green Leader WITHIT Legacy award, YWCA Phenomenal Women award: Saluting Women Who Are Instruments of Change, SBCC International Women’s Festivals “Gutsy Gals Inspire Me” award, and that is only the tip of the iceberg. She's also an in demand motivational speaker, whose many inspirational talks have included audiences at AIPAC, The United Nations, The National Association of Women Business Owners, Google, Ernst and Young, and The Forbes Global CEO conference in Dubai.

*CLINK!* here to listen!
  Also celebrated for her philanthropy,  UCLA names Kathy one of the Top 10 Women’s Health Advocates in America today. She is a powerful activist for veterans, the war against HIV/AIDS, anti-poverty efforts, education and family issues with a specific focus for women and children. She participates in and supports The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, St. Jude's Hospital, the Anti-Defamation League, the Alliance for Christian Education, YWCA, Global Young Leaders Conference at the United Nations, and Down Syndrome Advocacy Foundation. Kathy is also the global ambassador to 911 for Kids, a global outreach committed to disaster preparedness and emergency response. 
We talk about how she found and followed her passions of design and business, how she focuses on pleasing her #1 customer: the women of the world.  She tells us how she deals with the pressure to work out, maintain her health, how she strives to be tougher, and how she decides what products get the kiWW seal of approval. She shares with us how important her family is to her, from her parents instilling great values in their children "People are more important than profits!", her 25 year upcoming anniversary with Dr. Greg *cork pop* & how she supports her children Erik, Lily & Chloe and encourages them to follow their dreams. Special *CLINK!* to With Strings Attached! Note Kathy beaming with pride, standing back & letting Erik shine in this video we mentioned in our interview!
Kathy tells us about her best friend and mentor Elizabeth Taylor and how important a mentor can be in shaping a life via experience & guiding us along our path.
*CLINK!* here to listen!
 She also has written 6 books and her latest is "Real Solutions for Busy Moms." A description: "Kathy Ireland communicates with moms every day: online, at the grocery store, at church, at speaking engagements, and on her company website. She is grateful that her conversations don't center around beauty tips or requests for autographs or advice on how to dress. Rather, she has the honor of hearing from real women who struggle with balancing the responsibilities of marriage, raising children, managing a household or career or both, and finding any time left to take care of themselves. As the involved mom of three very active children, the supportive wife of an emergency room doctor, and a dynamic businesswoman, Kathy knows of these struggles firsthand..."
She shares her thoughts on social media and specifically how twitter has been a gamechanger for her, both personally and in business, allowing her to connect and learn from people, as an "instant focus group".

She tells us about an amazing bottle of Champagne she enjoyed (listen to find out what kind!), what advice she would give her 21 year old self, and who inspires her. There is so much more that this smart, fun, kind, gracious and inspirational woman chatted with us about, but we must stop typing about it...listen for yourself!  We all know that she is all the descriptive words mentioned in the opening, but after talking to her ourselves, we discovered she's also a Champagne Sister, and every working mom's best friend.

*Clink, Chat & Catch Up!* w/ Carole, Sue & Kathy of Full Spirited Flavours @FullSpirited!


We *Clink & Chat!* with all three Full Spirited Flavour creators Carole Algier, Sue Katein, & Kathy Lanyon! Let's tell you a bit about their passionate project: 
For nearly thirty years, Carole, was a glass artist & ran a successful business Her work was featured in several magazines and on HGTV’s “Smart Design” show. Sisters Sue Katein a retired corporate manager & Kathy Lanyon, a Global IT manager were looking for the next phase of life. That’s when they had a heart-to-heart. As kids, their parents sold their house, bought a hotel and turned it into a restaurant and catering business; the hotel also served as the family’s home. Food was a central theme in their lives. So too was the understanding that each child had to find his/her own way in life.
Life goes by quickly and as three sisters with more than a century of experience, they knew it was time to realize their dream to build a business that they could work together, offering favorite recipes, while creating new and exciting ones for discriminating palates. By combining business and catering expertise, humor, and most importantly a love for baking, cooking and each other...they are Full Spirited Flavours! There is so much more you can find out about the ladies story by reading this FAB article fromVictorious Woman Project.

We laugh & cackle together & the sisters share their recipes for success! We talk about how each one brings value to the business: Carole is the artist & marketing expert, Sue is the baker & operations manager, and Kathy is the youngest (and smartest ;) & takes care of all the computer tech & details. They tell us why they DIDN'T take up Martha Stewart's offer, their mantras for success, HINT: Laugh often & Never accept "No". And, they make a not-so-subtle overture to Kathie Lee & Hoda to taste test the goods...

*CLINK!* to Limoncello Restaurant, as their number one selling dessert is the Prosperity Limoncello Cake!
A Special *CORK POP* to the "J's" = their loving, supportive trio of husbands!
