#0058: Carla Hammond on realizing "cute" ideas, persisting + stoking folks to eat their mental veggies

Carla has spent the past decade working in New York’s non-profit sector. Since earning her Masters in International Affairs from Columbia University, she has collaborated with a diverse array of start-up organizations to create solid institutional foundations to support their structural growth. Her work has proven instrumental in the advancement and evolution of multiple organizations, such as OneVoice, Columbia University’s Genocide Prevention Program, Qualitas of Life Foundation, and Awake Youth Project, to name a few. Her generous spirit continues as the founder of Be Time Practice, where she is offering a vehicle (both figuratively and literally) towards peace and well-being for as many humans as possible.

Today, Carla is going to share how she transformed a “cute” idea for a bus into a business. Plus, she talks about persistence - how she kept going knowing her idea could potentially fail. She talks openly about how she continued to try everything in her power to make her dream into a reality. Of course, we talk about meditation - the benefits of meditation, how Carla likes to think of meditation as eating your mental veggies, and how Be Time Practice gets people excited to try meditation. It wouldn’t be a podcast for Type-A women if we didn’t talk about Type-A recovery, too. Buckle up, this episode is rich in ideas.
