In this episode Julie sits down with her dear friend, the entrepreneur Doug Evans, having just exchanged gifts in an energetic shift designed to bring into communion their respective lands in the Mojave desert and the mountains of Malibu. Doug’s extraordinary story runs through childhood delinquency into teenage enlistment before barreling out onto the streets of New York and, ultimately, into the worlds of design and business. He talks of the preventable illnesses that ravaged his family, of his life-saving move into a wholefood, plant based lifestyle and of finding himself (minus his shorts!) facing up to the tanking of a headline-hogging, money-munching start-up at Burning Man. Doug is a living lesson in survival, determination and heart. He’s that rare breed of entrepreneur who is honest, passionate and enthusiastic; endeavoring to bring business, spirituality and intentional practice together for the betterment of people and the planet. When he isn’t floating in deep reflection in his desert hot springs, Doug is fully dedicated to his Sproutman mission for food equality, with the book and the data to back him up. We love you, Doug!
