Building, crashing, and rebuilding a multiple 7-figure business, the value of authenticity, and redefining aging with Natalie Jill

Do whole foods really have the power to heal? That’s the question today's guest has dedicated her life to answering. Brooke Graves is the owner of Kaleidoscope, an Arizona-based healthy restaurant chain famous for their organic cold-pressed juices and high-vibe food. We’re diving into Brooke’s journey from first realizing the healing power of foods through her own struggles with rheumatoid arthritis as a child, and how that experience inspired her passion for what she calls “culinary medicine” …a concept that’s at the heart of every item on the Kaleidoscope menu and her desire to pursue a doctorate in clinical nutrition. That mission has propelled the success of Brooke’s juice empire, scaling to seven physical locations in the last 10 years (with zero business experience!) Brooke is one of the smartest women I know and I’m so honored to share her story with you.   HIGHLIGHTS 02:50 Brooke’s journey with nutrition, health, and an autoimmune disease. 06:40 Culinary medicine + healing people through food. 10:30 Breaking down the state of America’s food supply today. 14:05 The journey from medical school to building a juice company. 18:30 Exponentially growing a business by putting community at the heart. 22:55 The biggest challenges of turning your passion into a successful business. 27:20 The amazing effects of putting intentional ingredients in your body. 32:15 Making whole foods “sexy” again. 36:25 Unpacking the truth about oak milk. 39:20 The ultimate vision of expanding Kaleidoscope into an educational tool. 43:05 Celebrating the major growth + intense support for Kaleidoscope.   RESOURCES + LINKS Grab your ticket for the 2024 Powerhouse Women Event August 9-10th in Scottsdale! powerhousewomenevent.com Click HERE to text the word MENTOR to (602) 536-7829 for weekly business + mindset tips delivered straight to your phone!
