We’ve always tried to ask the questions that matter but that are too awkward for people to ask their friends, family and coworkers without seeming dramatic. One of those questions is about mission and purpose – when’s the last time you asked a friend what their mission was? Too often we don’t talk about our own missions and don’t ask those close to us about theirs with the result being that our missions remain secret. Are you just a doctor or are you a doctor who wants to be there for patients in the way you wished your father’s doctor had been? People have incredible and meaningful missions, and we hope our conversations asking folks about their mission can inspire more such conversations in your life.

Roxanne Hunt

Professionally I am an eclectic mix of Wedding Officiant, Lifestyle and Happiness Coach, Host, Speaker, Commercial Actor and Communication Specialist/Speech Pathologist. Underneath everything I do is a strong desire to offer others support, compassion, a safe haven, deep listening, an open mind as well as a fresh view on life and unique options that others in the industry are not offering. This is the theme running through all my businesses coupled with a strong desire to really make a difference. Each of my entrepreneurial pursuits came about in a unique way, from personal experiences that led me to each business. Read more>>

We believe that throughout the last centuries the Sacred Feminine and with it, the Sacred Masculine, have been surpressed and with it our personal power has been stripped from us. We have lost our connection to the Sacred within us. Only if we remember our magic, we can reclaim what has always been ours. Only if the Sacred Feminine gets back its place within society and the Sacred Masculine finds its ways again, and only if the wounding between the masculine and the feminine gets healed, we can co-create a world of more peace and harmony.

I was a very artistic kid, always creating and playing in the woods, beaches and rivers so unique to my northern michigan home. In my teens, I spent a few months every summer up in Canada at a outdoors camp, and I paddled with a small group of girls hundreds of miles across the canadian wilderness with everything we needed to survive in our backpacks and canoes. Being in such untouched wilderness I really saw the impact we made on the land- and it made on us. I do believe this is where i fell in love with the environment, and had a strong conviction to protect it. Read more>>

“Telling stories that deserve it be told”. As someone who has lived on three different continents (Africa, Europe and North America), I am very passionate about authentically telling stories of people who’s side is never heard or familiar stories but from different perspective. For example, an upcoming film that I wrote, produced and star in named Kareem’s Oorah, I play Kareem Dialo, a Muslim-American who joins the U.S. Marines Corps in the aftermath of 9/11. Read more>>

Making people aware of the ingredients that they put on their bodies is the main objective behind it. offering them a cost-effective substitute for any toxic products they might come across in the stores. This is the rationale for my interest in this. Having my baby made me more concerned about my health and the products I used on my body. I tried to use my favorite store-bought wash, but it caused frequent yeast infections, and my pH was wacky. I felt so humiliated and insecure. I decided to investigate, and I discovered that the problem actually stemmed from the ingredients in this wash. To make a long story short, my own experiences inspired me to help others. I try to look for a remedy for every problem. Read more>>

Decadent Chef’s Mission is to assist people who have an autoimmune disease and families in learning how to eat everyday foods in a healthier way. The story behind this statement is that when I was 14 years of age, they diagnosed my parents with HIV. Growing up, I would watch my parents go through their bouts of getting sick because of their diet. I joined the military and cross-trained in the culinary field. Then I obtained my culinary degree in 2007. The plan was to learn how to adjust the process of how my parents were making meals to make the meals healthier. I decided at that point to start my business in 2013 after my dad passed. I developed natural seasonings, sauces, and marinades for health-conscious families. Read more>>

The founders are boomers who grew up in families and a society where smoking was prevalent and accepted. Most of us flew on planes where smoking was allowed during flight in certain sections of the plane. Smoking was acceptable in public…restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, and in virtually any setting. Fortunately, none of us have any lingering health issues from exposure to secondhand smoke, but family members who smoked and didn’t smoke are suffering from life long chronic respiratory issues from secondhand smoke.

I created an initiative called called “Rise Above”, where I advocate for people who have been victims of sexual assault. This platform stemmed from my own story of abuse as a freshman in college. I want to bring awareness to the issue through sharing my personal experience in hopes of empowering other men and women in similar situations. Read more>>

Jonathon “Jack-Jack” Benjamin

My name is Jonathon “Jack-Jack” Benjamin and, before anything else, I am a proud veteran of the US Air Force. I joined the military after my academic scholarship ran out—changed my major a few times. I served for 3 years as an avionics technician, maintaining the B-1Bombers. I loved my job, but felt an overwhelming sense of obligation to deploy and serve overseas. I never got to deploy, but I did get a special duty assignment to England in 2013. It was there, a few months into my tour, that I was in a near-fatal motor vehicle accident. I wasn’t supposed to survive. I was in various hospitals around the world, recovering from a severe traumatic brain injury before the Air Force medically retired me in 2015. In those 2 years of recovery, I saw countless other veterans recovering from their own traumas and trying, like me, to find some sense of a “new normal.” Read more>>

My mission at LunaBella SkinCare begins with compassion & ends with beauty. From the moment you take your shoes off to the warm cozy spa bed, to leaving with glowing radiant skin or even a newfound confidence because you have new brows or luscious lips of color (Lipblushing) you will leave feeling illuminated & blissful for our next session. I work with compassion, light & love. This may seem exotic for a simple facial but my healing & purpose in life is to make people feel good, from the inside out. We glow because our soul glows, we feel beautiful inside, it will show on the outside. Read more>>

We are striving to bring awareness to the toxicity that exists in the fabrications and dyes within our industry as the chemical makeup is justified for cheap ingredients to supposedly serve the public for convenience and cheap price points yet it poisons our eco-system and our bodies. Currently we are in production of a documentary called “Let them be naked” to show the behind the scenes of the fashion industry and what the solutions could look like. As a designer and creative my mission has always been to only create what is a positive for both individuals and the environment…to give not take…and art for art’s sake not for commerce. Read more>>

The foundation was founded in loving memory of my sister Erica Easley who lost her life due to distracted driving. The loss of my only sister gave me a purpose to help others become more aware of the dangers of distracted driving. It was important to me to turn this tragic experience into something positive, my sister cannot lose her life and it be for nothing. The Erica Easley Foundation works to educate and prevent the number of drivers that drive distracted as well as impowering passengers to speak up if they are in a vehicle where distracted driving is occurring. We believe everyone young and old play a part in safe driving. Read more>>
