Are you an ethical and mindful consumer? with Jo Mantzou

Are you an ethical and mindful consumer? with Jo Mantzou

[Video Podcast Available on Spotify & YouTube]

My sister, Jo, is back to chat with me about mindful consumerism.  We unpack the different terms of slow, vegan, and sustainable fashion. Something that should get ALL of us thinking. Each and every one of us are consumers of products and our everyday decisions can have a huge impact.


Here's some of the companies and organizations we are referring to during the episode:

Ioanna's passions have always been building communities, cultivating a sustainability mindset, and developing talent. When she was 15 years old she made it her life's mission to share her knowledge with her peers, so she founded a student organization called "NGSW", New Generation Sustainable World in Greece, which was the beginning of her entrepreneurial journey. Fascinated by the complexity of human interactions she got her Bachelor's in Psychology and Communications from St. Lawrence '20 and her Master's in Strategic Management from Pace University '22. She is currently the Chief of Staff and VP of Client Enablement at Aptivio, a B2B SaaS startup that aims to democratize access to Revenue AI. Working on projects related to the future of work, sustainability, IMPACT, and EdTech.

Another episode is out and it is a juicy one. My sister comes in to the studio and describes to me (us) her first time EVER experience with hypnosis. She specifically tries past life regression hypnosis which takes an individual back through time to their previous lives or incarnations by accessing memories and experiences that are normally hidden in their subconscious mind.
