Elizabeth Molina: [00:00:00] Hello, my beautiful people, welcome back. You know what day it is, it is Wednesday, happy hump day today. We have an amazing person on the podcast today, as usual, and I am so glad to call her a friend. Her name is January Old. She is the founder of Clean Skin Care Company January Labs. She is a licensed institution. Her products initially captured the attention of celebrity makeup artists and as deficient as she grew into an internationally recognized line of high performance products that can be found at Beauty Neiman Marcus direct online and at a host of retailers around the world, January Labs is celebrated by beauty editors on the pages of Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Birdie's coverture, women's health and New Beauty, among others, for its simplicity, effectiveness and accessibility. Welcome, January. Did I miss anything while introducing you today?

 

January Olds: [00:01:00] No. Perfect.

 

Elizabeth Molina: [00:01:05] Awesome. So I am so excited to have you on today. I'm so excited. We had a little chat earlier. It was I was like, I should have hit record. We were having such a great conversation. So, January, we know you own a beauty brand. Let's not let's just not kid ourselves here.

 

January Olds: [00:01:23] Well, first of all, thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited to talk to you. And I love learning about your story. So I already feel so connected.

 

Elizabeth Molina: [00:01:33] Thank you. Thank you. So you are in the skincare business, right. And your company promises that less is more. I love that motto. I live by that motto. Can you explain what that means to us and how your products accomplish that? Like what does that less is more mentality before I get into all the other things. But I just really wanted to kind of like, surprise you with that question.

 

January Olds: [00:01:58] I love it. Yes. I mean, I think of beauty. Everyone loves consuming more because it's fun and there's new products. And there's but when I set out to develop my line, I my past was working for a company called Clarens, which I'm sure you know of, and epicurean, that's my past. And both wines had huge product lines. I mean, there was one cleansers for different skin types. And and when I set out to make my line, I really wanted to simplify things. We're dealing with skin. My perspective is when you're using the right ingredients, you can really use one product to solve a multiple multitude of problems with this good. So ingredients I love to work with lactic acid, salicylic acid, great for pigmentation, fine lines, texture. So when I say let's there's more, it's using one product to kind of combat different things that your skin is struggling with. So if you have hormonal breakouts, you're probably having aging or fine lines or things like you want to address as well. And the beauty is when things are formulated the correct way, you can kind of target all of those things. So the idea of having 10 products and a regimen is just not how I live my life, even though I'm in this world and I do consume a lot of it's usually four to five products tonight. If that maybe it might just be one product. What your product should be working hard for you. And that's really what I've set out to do. Formula formulation has everything. A lot of brands, we're all working with the same ingredients, but it's just how you formulate.

 

Elizabeth Molina: [00:03:45] Oh, I love that. I love that. Especially like I think that is just so appropriate for like 2021 in 2020 with the pandemic and everything. And like less is more. And like we're seeing the skin trends of like skin minimalism and just like people getting more aware of like what's in their product, how is it formulated, is it working for me? I love that you say that, like your products need to be working hard for you, and I never heard that before.

 

January Olds: [00:04:11] I'm a licensed aesthetician as well. So it's interesting. Certain things just do not change in skin care. There are certain ingredients that regardless, there's new technology coming out, there's just certain ingredients that work well. But the other thing is how your products are formulated, what ingredients you put in it. That's always just been something that's really, really important to me. When I work for the other companies I worked for, I loved their product line, so I still do. I just think that we don't need such a huge selection. You know, somebody who has oily skin can use my cleanser, but somebody who is dry, dehydrated and even rosacea can use the same exact cleanser. So when it comes to simplifying, it's making the selection easy on the customer. But the formulas are more complex. But we kind of handle that for you. So I've noticed and even when I recommend products to people, I'm like I try to to start with, I'm like such a minimalist, I'm not wanting products. I want something like a 12 hour cleanser and then maybe our night cream. And as they start to develop with one, their skin really evolves and you're able to pinpoint really what works for you, because I don't love the idea of just, you know, layering 20 serum's and then switching it off. And, you know, if you're not really able to target what's working, you don't really know. You know, I'm sure you're well, tons of products sent to you all the time. And you're just kind of switching it up a little bit. Yes. I really just find it's so nuance. You know, every skin is so different for everyone. So you need to just kind of work with something for a while, not over to it. I usually give people a skin care make under. Oh, I love that. Yeah.

 

Elizabeth Molina: [00:05:58] January, I think we cut we're going to be new BFFs. I'm also a licensed aesthetician and even I myself get overwhelmed with products and ingredients and formulations. And I'm thinking to myself, if I am getting confused, what about the people who are like not in the industry and like they are like what is a or what is a serum, what is a tonic? What is in essence what are these things right. Like do I need them all? How do I layer them on sunscreen. Oh my God. And so like I love the concept that less is more. And I really this is the first time I've heard anyone say, let your ingredients work hard for you, like I think you should, like, trademarked that or something like that.

 

January Olds: [00:06:40] Well, thank you. Yeah. You know. Caroline Pirogues, I'm sure you've heard of her. She's an incredible blogger and she's an author now. Her book, I think it's a book on skincare. I can't remember the exact name,

 

Elizabeth Molina: [00:07:38] But it's OK. We'll all get it and link it to show note.

 

Janaury Olds: [00:07:42] Yes, it's that book is so precise and on point. I love her. She's incredible. But if somebody is confused, just get that book. It's also in an audio book. So if you just want to listen to it in her or her, she just really simplifies things. You know, it's it really doesn't have to be confusing. I think that there's a lot of people using sales tactics and like, oh, this is dirty and this is bad and this is just it. That's all gimmicky things to sell products, in my opinion. And I think that nobody's setting out there to make products that are unhealthy for you or that are going to eventually kill you. So it's that that that book has really helped direct people and basically, you know, cleansing, using that acid, a good toner moisturizer. It really clarifies things. I go to that book a lot on things that I might have forgotten through the years. I mean, I've been in that situation for like 20 years. I'm aging myself here.

 

Elizabeth Molina: [00:08:46] Ok, so let's let's take it back a little bit. Let's go back to the name of your brand. It's your name. Yeah. Does that get confusing sometimes or do you feel like because it is your name that it is you like? I know a lot of people always struggle when they have a brand, like you said my name. Is it not my name? Am I tied to the brand like what I do like does that also reflect on the brand or what the brand does? Does that reflect on me? Like, I would love to get your perspective on that, because that is your name.

 

January Olds: [00:09:16] Yes, it is. It's funny. When I was thinking of naming the line, I wanted to go something really obscure that didn't really make sense. What's floating around me is like blue bead or blue shop not. I'm like, this is not. And it's all about simplicity. But what is me is the name Jan. I'm born in November, so that's good to know on a score. Yeah. I'm just you know, I'm born in November, so my name is already kind of unusual. And when I ask my mom, she's like, you just looked like a January. So what's it. That's where I get I'm also six one. So it's really hard to blend in. When you're six one and your name's Jan, you're like, oh, that was someone else. That wasn't me. So there's no way yet to get around that. So my name has always been such a huge part of my, you know, even ordering coffee. Were you born in January? Why is your name Jan? Literally every day of my life. Yeah. I mean, it's it's a big part of who I am. So when naming my brand, it had to be January and then Labs comes in because that's really the idea that they work, that they kind of the idea of using products that are geared in nature, but also scientific. And they have so it just was born January Labs. I feel like January is a little more of like a clean, fresh start. It's all about new beginnings. And then Labs gives you the feeling of trust. It's something that's formulated

I'm going to keep it short and sweet, because today is going to be a hot episode. We have an amazing guest. It is Susan Bratton. She is an intimacy expert to a million. She is a champion and advocate for all of those who desire intimacy and passion. She is the co-founder and CEO of Two Corporation's Personal Life Media Inc, a publisher of a heart connected love making techniques in the Bedrooms, Communication Skills and 20-20, LLC, a manufacturer of organic and botanical supplements that enhance sexual vitality. You heard that right, guys? We are going to have a spicy episode today. She's a bestselling author and publisher of 34 books and programs, including Sexual Soulmates, Relationship Magic, Revive Her Drive, Ravish Him Steamy Sex Ed, The Passion Patch, Hormone Balancing and Hot to Trot. Susan has been featured in The New York Times and on CNBC and The Today Show, as well as frequent appearances on ABC, CBS, The CW, Fox and NBC. Hi, Susan. How are you, Elizabeth?

 

Susan Bratton: [00:01:48] I am radiant and glowing, as we all should be.

 

Elizabeth Molina: [00:01:52] You truly are for you guys. We are also recording this video, so you have to see her. She is truly radiant and glowing and looking as hot as ever. And so I'm excited to have her on. But let's let's talk a little bit about what you do. Let's talk about sex, baby. Let's get into the conversation. You are the expert. You have really helped millions of people. You are the expert in this case. So I'm I'm intrigued. What does that mean that you've helped you become the intimacy expert for millions of people?

 

Susan Bratton: [00:02:24] Well, about 15 years ago, my husband and I was closer to 20 years ago. Now my husband and I had a really rocky point in our marriage, and I didn't really want to make love with him anymore. You know, I had been doing it for over a decade, and it wasn't that satisfying for me. And I really pulled away. And then that made him emotionally disconnect. And then we were on the verge of divorce and we decided to do something about it. So we sought therapy, which was a part of the solution. But really what helped us was going to sex workshops. It was our sex life. You know, they say that either couples have trouble with their sex life or with money and money wasn't the problem for us, nor was it for all our friends who we saw getting divorced. It was really our sexuality. And what had happened was, you know, in hindsight, 20, 20 vision, we had been having sex. And what I would call today, the patriarchal way, the way that men want to have sex because they don't know any different. And there are there are masculine sexual leaders. And so they're doing the best they can, but they don't live in our bodies or understand our arousal and our libido and how different it is than theirs. And when we did sex workshops, we began to understand orgasm skills and have sexual communication skills that were much, much stronger.

 

Susan Bratton: [00:03:39] And we really went through a renaissance in our sex life to the point where we decided to start a company together, essentially taking these incredible transformational sex workshop experiences and putting them online so that people could do them in the privacy of their own home. And what I like to say is that my job is to transform having sex into making love. It's also translating the masculine and feminine for each other so that you that you can get into your partner's world. Because though I support full gender spectrum expression, most people are in a heterosexual monogamous relationship. So that's where my sweet spot is. My sweet spot is, hey, this is what she needs from you. Hey, this is what he needs from you. And here's how you can get into a more of a balance that satisfying for both people, because so much of the media and pretty much all of porn is both degrading to women and doesn't follow at all what I would consider to be the matriarchal needs of our sexuality. So I've published over 45 books and programs. You can find them all, by the way, at Susan Bratten dot com. If you look under my products link, there are all of the published programs that I've created, all of my supplement company products. But also there's about 30 free gifts because. And you could just help yourself, you can have as many as you want, because

 

Elizabeth Molina: [00:05:03] I love that. Thank you.

 

Susan Bratton: [00:05:04] Different places in their sexual evolution, and you could be stuck in an entirely different place than the next person, than the next person, than the next person. So what I really did was I created a constellation of things that help remove the obstacles to your intimacy and satisfaction wherever you are. Because one of the things I can tell you is that good sex can be can get better and better your whole life long because you can get better in bed your whole life long. And sex is really a learned skill. Procreation, we kind of can figure out. But passionate lovemaking. We're not getting taught. And not only that, but the media and pornography is making it worse for us women then and not making it better. So I really feel like I like to break through all of the wrongdoings, the misunderstandings, the myths, everything from our orgasmic potential to being afraid to talk to your partner or to not knowing what you want. You do know what you want. I tell her that. Yeah. And and I think those things are all of the ways that I can really help and support people and meet them wherever they are. And I've worked with people from 19 to 90 around the world, from all different cultures. So I really have a big heart for actually how sexually emancipated we are here in America compared to the rest of the world. They're still in a very backward paradigm. So that's kind of who I am and what I do.

 

Elizabeth Molina: [00:06:34] I have a ton of questions. I'm like, what can you just quickly like tell us, because I know we're going to get into this, but like the pandemic has been huge for couples with this sexual arousal. Being with your partner all day, being in the same small space, how do you find them attractive no longer getting dressed, you know, waiting. There's so much we're talking about beauty here, which we will get into. But give us a short OK, you're showing us something. What are you showing us?

 

Susan Bratton: [00:07:01] So I'm going to show you. And remember, you can go to YouTube and see these images as well. And it's worth going to YouTube and seeing these images, because what I'm actually showing you is the internal mechanisms of a penis. Yes. And really what I want to do is I want to tell you two things that will make a big shift for you. The first is that our men, if we're in a relationship with a penis owner, he has this. The benefit of something called hemodynamics and hemodynamics means that he has these big spongy chambers of erectile tissue in his penis and they fill in very quickly with blood. The blood just runs straight into them. But if you look at what our vulva looks like and I want to show you two images here. The first image is the inside the X, the outside of our vulva. So we're pretty familiar as women with the the the outer labia, the inner labia, the vestibule, the opening, the the clitoral tip, the shaft, the hood, the urethral exit, where our PRP comes out, the vaginal opening, the G spot inside. We're pretty familiar with what the rover looks like, though. I bet we don't look at our own enough. Probably if I peel away the skin and I just take the layer right off the top here group, this is what it looks like underneath our skin and all.

 

Susan Bratton: [00:08:30] All of this meaty tissue is our erectile systems, and we have as much erectile tissue in our vulva as our male body partners have in our in their penis. But we don't have it. I always say that if a man's like a banana, a woman's like an English muffin. She's got all these nooks and crannies that have to be filled in with blood and it seeps in more slowly. And we have the clitoral glands, the clitoral shaft, the clitoral arms or Kaura, the clitoral legs or vestibular bulbs. We have the urethral sponge, which people call a G spot. It's not a spot. It's a long tube that both comes out on the face of the vestibule of the vagina, as well as going deep into the vagina. And then we have a perineal sponge on the bottom. That's also erectile tissue. And our vaginas are literally wrapped, embraced with erectile tissue. But we women put our attention. We've been told your orgasm starts in your clitoris. And we think our clitoris is this little tip that shows under the hood when actually this entire structure that wraps around our vagina is our clitoral structure. And we have a urethral structure and a perineal structure, and we have sex too fast. And the reason that we do and this is the matriarchal versus patriarchal view, is that he is, number one, testosterone dominant where we are estrogen dominant.

 

Susan Bratton: [00:09:59] And so he has not only the benefit of hemodynamics, he has the be

The Beauty of Advocacy with AnnaLynne McCord

Elizabeth Molina: [00:00:00] Hello, my beautiful people, I'm Elizabeth Molina and I am your beauty guru. In this podcast, I will share with you all you need to know about beauty from the inside out. You will gain access to the latest beauty trends from head to toe mind. And so you will hear from experts themselves. The trendy influencers, celebrities, athletes and of course, myself on all things beauty. This is definitely the place to be biohacking, beauty, hacking, life hacking into the why for your beauty routine. Are you ready for your global obsession? Welcome back and happy hump day. And I'm so honored that you are spending some part of your Wednesday, hopefully with us here listening to today's interview. Today's guest is AnnaLynne McCord. She's an American actress, writer, director and producer. She is known for playing the vixen vamp and roles of darker nature. McCord first gained prominence in 2007 as a seeming add lord on the effects television series Nip Tuck, which I personally loved, followed by credits on the CW and nine 00 to one 00 TNT. Dallas Stalker on CBS Foxes Jerry Bruckheimer produced pilot Lucifer, top TV's comedy Let's Get Physical and ABC's Secrets and Lies. Her turn as a disturbed and delusional teenager in the 2012 film Excision was widely acclaimed for her role in Excision. McCord won best actress at Megalo International Week, a fantastic cinema in 2012. Anna's recent film, 68 Kill, won the audience award at the ASX ACW, and her performance has been hailed strong, fierce and powerful and is currently filming in New York City on Starz 50 Cent's show produced power prequel, raising Kanon during her free time, Anna has contributed to various charities stating that working with charitable organizations and giving back has been her saving grace as it has taught her how to rescue herself. She is the founder of The Love Storm, a campaign which raises awareness for those victimized by human trafficking and sexualized violence. In 2009, Anna was awarded a U.S. congressional honor by the Connecticut Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, for her anti trafficking work in 2019. AnnaLynne was nominated for the best actress at Madrid's International Film Festival for her role in the Milkshake Girls, a short film about sex trafficking. In 2014, Anna revealed that she was sexually assaulted when she was 19 by a male friend. In March of 2015, while speaking at the United Nations in support with the U.N., WFP, a McCord announced her alignment with the NFL support, aunty's sexual assault and anti domestic abuse project. The No More Campaign in 2018, while undergoing MDR in neurological treatment for PTSD, Ana has limited memories of her years of childhood abuse resurfaced. She has since become an advocate for profound treatment and the remarkable transformation to which it has led her to be as intense speaker and advocate and activist and meditation leader. And it continues to engage audiences at colleges, events and private engagements with her transformative tools and candid outlook on sexualized violence, domestic abuse, human trafficking and slavery, which touches seven billion people, as well as obviously mental slavery.

 

Elizabeth Molina: [00:03:32] So there is no coincidence, guys, why Anna and I came together. We were supposed to do the podcast a couple of months ago, and I had some emergencies, and she was so nice to reschedule. We rescheduled twice, I believe, and it was about working out a movement because I was just so adamant about, oh, my God, I need to release this podcast. They need to be all the ten categories and then I can do other kinds of interviews. And then I realized that was just not working out. So we started talking about trauma and we started talking about trafficking, violence, domestic violence, just all of these things that are happening that we're not really giving a voice to. So we thought that this message was stronger. And obviously we're going to talk about a lot of things. You guys have to just stay tune in here. We we had an amazing conversation and you definitely have to watch if you're able to that video portion of this so you can see our faces and see what's happening in the background and you get to see her beautiful. So I'm going to leave you guys to it and I'm going to introduce our guest. Hello. Welcome to the podcast. I'm so excited to finally get you on. How are you doing, AnnaLynne?

 

AnnaLynne McCord: [00:04:33] I'm good. How are you?

 

Elizabeth Molina: [00:04:35] I'm good. I'm excited. As you can tell you guys, this is an audio and video podcast, so you're going to be able to watch us and see all of our faces. Mine. I look a little orange today, but that's OK. And you look beautiful as always. So I want to before I like let you talk, I want to just preface this like I was so excited to get you on the podcast and. You were so gracious enough to reschedule, I had something come up and you were so sweet, you're like, it's OK, life happens, like we'll make it work. And I think it happens for a reason. Everything happens for a reason, I don't think. And that podcast would have been about working out and meditation and which is great. They're great tools. And it's part of my beauty circle where I talk about movement and, you know, and being one with your body and meditating. And I was like, it's going to be great. She's this beautiful person inside and out and she's going to talk about it. And she has experiences that have brought her here. But today, we're actually going to detour from that original concept. If you're OK with it.

 

AnnaLynne McCord: [00:05:42] Absolutely.

 

Elizabeth Molina: [00:05:43] About things that are. In my humble opinion, just more important. And you know, this is going to air after the date that we're going to talk about, but it's still things are still happening around the world. So before we get to that, I just kind of want to get to know a little bit more about you. We know that you are a well-known actress like your. Your credentials are pages long. You're stunning. And you know you're pretty famous. Right. So let's get into this just a little bit. How did you get into this business? Tell us, like, how you got started into it. What made you want to become an actress?

 

AnnaLynne McCord: [00:06:27] Well, there's the story that I always tell when I'm asked this question. And then there's the story that perhaps is more appropriate to the shifts that we're both making and this podcast experience. I could give you the easy. I was nine years old. I dreamed of being an actress. I grew up in a trailer park, and it was never going to happen. But then I made it happen. And voila, here I am, which is lovely and sounds great and fits the stereotype of, you know, stereotypical horae Cinderella story that we all know and love. And I am grateful for all aspects of that part. But it is a story. And this thing about stories is. There are lovely things to hear and read about, but who are you really and why are you really here matters more to me. So since we're doing what matters more on this episode, I without knowing it in my nine year old conscious mind, but certainly knowing in my spirit consciousness, I had a little mission I was embarking upon at nine years old, and I thought being an actress was the way to get me there. And I'm so grateful that I wasn't wrong, because it is it created a remarkable platform for me. But the mission that I am on that I came to planet Earth to accomplish is.

 

AnnaLynne McCord: [00:07:48] For less about the nine year old children like me that were dreaming to be an actor and more about the nine year old children like me that were experiencing sexual abuse and experiencing marginalization, experiencing poverty, I kept all the boxes. I am here on this planet now because that little nine year old inspired me to stick around. I was suicidal. I was self harming. I was depressed. I was anxious. I would not be here if it hadn't been for the deeper meaning of of why my spirit consciousness knew I was here and my nine year old self was on this nothing. Because she she had the things that she wanted me to do that I'm only now just beginning to to realize. And so I dreamed of being an actress. That was the top layer of the story. And I did. I graduated from high school at 15 years old. I was homeschooled my entire education. So I never went to a normal school. And as a result of that, I was able to take the reins and get in control of my own education and graduate early, graduated with honors, all the things that make everybody in the world go, yeah. You're doing such a great job, I think. Have so congratulations.

 

AnnaLynne McCord: [00:09:12] Like the world's

Ep. 19 - The Beautiful Transition of Menopause

In this episode of Your Beauty Guru w/ Elizabeth Molina podcast, Elizabeth Molina talks with Dr. Michelle Gordon AKA Dr. G. She is a TV Host, Surgeon, Athlete and Author. She was the former Host and Executive Producer of the Reality Docu-Drama, called Life Matters with Dr. Michelle Gordon that aired on the SciFi channel; It was about 7 women they were addressing aging while enjoying the adventure of a lifetime in Spain, she is a board certified general surgeon and founder of the Gordon Surgical group a multispecialty group practice in 2005. She also co-authored a book called Life Matters cookbook with Chef Cassandra Catoia recipes for living including a low carbohydrate and paleo inspired delicious meals you can prepare at home. She is the founder of the menopause movement and it is a community for women to flourish through menopause and life. She founded this menopause movement when menopause hit her hard, and it was very frustrating for her especially as a doctor that there wasn't very much out there. We're going to hear about this during the interview but she set out and she started learning and getting information and this information really transformed her life, not just menopause but her life in general and so she created this community and so she is out there to help other women experience the same transformation she has. 

Make sure to take away the notes!

Conversation Highlights:

[00:02:17] This is such an important conversation to have, because as women I feel like there is not a lot of information in general about our menstruation and why it's good to have it, what it means, and there's alot of shame around it. 

  • What age were you when you first got your period?
  • Pill and no period?
  • Surgery coming off the pill?!
  • Butt injection while performing a surgery!?! 

[00:05:32] So we started with the period, but no one talks about this period, like this whole thing and like even the days like what that means. As a surgeon, as a physician, as someone who is educated..How do you take this news? In your brain, how do you receive that? Oh this is happening.. Are you mechanical about it or are you the woman behind it? I want to know about your experience, it’s not often we get to hear from the doctor who has been diagnosed with something and have to experience it like their patients

  • Biology: Why do women have biological clocks?
  • There’s types of Menopause?!
  • Who did I turn to for help? ...The answer might surprise you! 
  • Most common symptoms 

[00:12:25] In your training being a surgeon or doctor did you learn about nutrition? When i take my 2 dogs to the vet the first thing they ask is, what’s their diet, how much protein, fibre, etc? But when I go to see a doctor I never get asked about it.  Why is that?

  • What I learned in medical school
  • How I changed my perception to make now the best time of my life

[00:17:10] Do all women experience menopause the same?

  • It doesn’t suck, It’s a privilege! 

[00:18:00] Is there a diet that can help us women have an easier transition into / prepare us for  menopause?

  • Maybe!?
  • Sugar v fat: Who is the real enemy?
  • Politics and food??

Ep. 17 - Biohacking Meets Beauty w/ Amitay Eshel

Elizabeth Molina: [00:00:00] Hello, my beautiful people, I'm Elizabeth Molina, and I am your beauty guru in this podcast, I will share with you all you need to know about beauty from the inside out, you will gain access to the latest beauty trends from head to toe, mind and soul. You will hear from the experts themselves, the trendy influencers, celebrities, athletes and of course, myself on all things beauty. This is definitely the place to be. Biohacking, hacking life, hacking into the life. For your beauty routine, are you ready for your global obsession? Today's podcast guest is the co-founder and CEO of Young Goose. His name is Amitay. Amitay is an entrepreneur in the Biohacking and Spaces. He's also, like I said, the co-founder and CEO of Young Goose, a biohacking skincare company. And he is also the host of The Young, a biohacking beauty podcast, which is super duper cool. And we get to really go in today and kind of talk about what is biohacking, how does it fit the beauty space and how is this beauty line merging the two together? Of course, these are some of my favorite topics, so we are going to be diving in.

 

Elizabeth Molina: [00:01:18] Welcome, Amitay, to the podcast. How are you doing today?

 

Amitay Eshel: [00:01:23] I'm doing great. Thank you so much for having me on. I'm actually very excited to be on the podcast.

 

Elizabeth Molina: [00:01:29] Awesome. Thank you so much. I'm excited because you're doing some amazing things and I want to talk about the journey. We're obviously this is a big podcast. I'm all about Pudi holistic insight and our mind and soul, all of all of it. This all interconnected. And you have a very interesting story. You come from a different background, like you have a military background. So do you mind how do you go from being in a tactical division in the Israeli army to basically biohacking skin care to give us a new technology that we haven't seen yet? Can you tell us about that? I would love our audience and I are like, intrigued.

 

Amitay Eshel: [00:02:09] Yeah, I think this is a twofold answer because the short answer is where I was in the military and I was in a very small unit in an even smaller task force in that unit, and it was a special operations unit in the Israeli military. In the short answer is you learn to think outside the box and you learn that the enemy is always innovating. So you have an intrinsic urge to innovate and to find that the next step to whatever the large goal that you've set. If so, that's the short answer. If you want to hear a little bit of the story. Yes. As we as we said, I ended up at the end of my military career, was heading the reconnaissance task force and section of my small special forces unit in Israel. Life is very demanding. There are a lot of ups and downs and a lot of negativity you see around you, especially if you serve and on the front line. And when I kind of find myself in the private sector and being asked to manage individuals because this is the kind of profession I chose, I got addicted, you might say to the the amazing feeling you're getting when you're letting when you're giving another person the opportunity to feel better about themselves. And that was such such a sharp contrast in comparison to what I did before. And and it was so speaking into my soul, if you would.

 

Amitay Eshel: [00:03:52] I love that feeling. When when when you know, you made an impact on someone like someone's life. The positive impact that I have been chasing that feeling so I started in Israel is amazing in innovation in the beauty space as well, but mainly in cosmetic procedure, innovation. So anything that's got to do with cold lasers or types of healing lasers, types of radio frequency devices, you'd be surprised probably, you know, eight out of ten treatments that you've undergone, like ablative treatments, harsh treatments that you've undergone, if you would have there, they were done with an Israeli product. So I started as an executive in that space, took the lessons I learned in my military career. How do you accomplish a mission? How do you build a tactic for for that mission and apply them to the private sector? And then before the pandemic, a few months before the pandemic, we've launched a startup that's called Jungle's. In this startup basically aims to really ring in all of the latest biohacking innovations and bottle them up into something as simple as possible skincare product, and that's another area that I feel skincare is kind of going awry where you have, you know, one product to every half a problem and know need a few products, each problem. So part of our idea was to have all of these amazing new technologies there, but make it as simple as possible.

 

Elizabeth Molina: [00:05:35] Yeah, what a great story. And I love how you brought in the military of solving a problem. You have to be in head. You have to prepare. You have to strategize. And here's the same thing. We're strategizing against time, gravity, the pollution in the air, the food that we eat, what we drink. This is what you are kind of trying to plan ahead is what you're saying. You're strategizing. How do I optimize my skin, my health for mitigating really what's happening on in the environment and in the world? Everything is changing. So I love that. But how did you guys come up with the name Young Goose? I really think it's very interesting. I try to think of it like, what is a young goose and what does it look like and why do we want to be like Youngie? So. So tell me about the name.

 

Amitay Eshel: [00:06:20] First of all, the fact that you're already asking about the name to me is is a is a small win, you know, because I we wanted an interesting name. And when we established our our startup, the name was different, the name was called Emesis. And for me is is a positive effect that the body undergoes because of stress. Unfortunately, our goal is larger than just skin care and in other spaces that we were hoping took to kind of expand to the name was taken. So, you know, we had to kind of scramble and find a new name. And my partner thought of the name. Obviously we want the end goal is to maintain youth and the the connotation of Gousse, which is to us is a very positive animal. That was nickname in the military as well. And so it wasn't necessarily about me, but the connotation was very was very positive to us and it rang nicely. A nice Israeli saying it doesn't apply in every situation is nothing better than good enough. You know, if it's good enough, it's good enough. So we all like the name. No, there is no reason in a lot of areas in life to over complicate things and, you know, to overthink things. And we try to apply this principle where

 

Elizabeth Molina: [00:07:50] It's a cool name. The packaging is really beautiful. I like that. It's er like seal like you just pump it, it comes out. I mean there's so many great things about the packaging. The way that you guys deliver it is just beautiful packaging. But I was like trying to figure out like does it stand for something, is he going to tell me it's like some sort of peptides like like I was like breaking my head, like what is usually I'm pretty good at figuring out the names and like what they mean, where they came from, where the origins. And I couldn't figure this one out. And I'm like, I just have to ask him, like, it's an interesting name. It's a beautiful packaging. If you guys are watching this live, you could see I'm holding up the bottle of what water there, what they're really known for, which is a product called the Caird. It's a cream. But we'll get into that in a little bit. Before we do, I kind of want to ask more questions about skin care. So why antiaging? Like, how

 

Amitay Eshel: [00:08:45] Come, like every addiction you don't plan to get addicted beforehand? Right. And that that includes good, good addictions as well. I'm going to tell you about a recent interaction I had with a lady named Lillian, who was a professional institution. And obviously she already knew the product by working with her and making sure the products succeed with her business and to see how from the person that has a lot of personal issues, you know, sons with that are not, you know, rocking it in life at the moment, that they have challenging lives. And you can see a person with a lot of burden when I've when I've encountered her the first time. And the addicting feeling is the fact that I didn't solve anything else in her life. I didn't go and fly the Australian Council or son or whatever that would be. But what I did do is create a difference in a specific area of her life that has proliferated to other areas because she feels amazing about herself and what she can achieve. And she feels hopeful about the future. And I believe that when we have. This approach, not that not for me, like a Fugazi kind of standpoint of other things in mind, but you are going to be tackling things, your attitude is going to be much better and other things are going to respond better to you. So that's just an anecdotal example in general, because I started in that in that beauty space, these were the responses I got addicted to. When people go through a transformation or are hopeful about the future, they can see a light at the end of the tunnel, if you will, or they can see how they're going to be more confident. Confidence, I think, is underrated in general. That's something I feel I can really touch people individually. What we try to do in this in this company is obviously reach out to more people and end up as being the golden standard for for skincare and biohacking skincare and the agents in here. But that's a
