152. Beverly Karns of Tempo Granola

“The bigger your mission becomes, the greater inspiration you will be given.”

-Ryuho Okawa

I am so excited about this conversation and to welcome Beverly Karns, Founder of Tempo Granola, to the T&T mic! Beverly is an on-the-go mom, professor, entrepreneur, yogi, and fitness instructor! Beverly hails from the finance world, but after years of making her famous granola for fam and friends with a growing following, she decided to take the passion on full time. Tempo Granola is vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, made from non-GMO ingredients and organic oats for optimal clean snacking! You know I am super picky when it comes to CPG’s, so Tempo Granola was a golden find when I found out it was not only delicious, it was locally made, woman owned, and mission driven (giving back to charity). This is a great convo is you are an entrepreneur leading with the heart, looking to build the right tribe, and do business with intention. We are in a new world with super smart, savvy consumers- it pays dividends to do things the right way, transparently. Beverly and Tempo Granola set the bar high on doing things the right way, for the right reasons. Take notes, body and soul

This one is a video, so be sure to check us out on You Tube!

Highlights:

Entrepreneurship. Chasing the dream with a business mindset. Timing and the universe. Transparency and morality. The vibe attracts the tribe. Evolving with your passions, audience, and core values. Yummy granola for all ages- consuming with intention.

152. Beverly Karns of Tempo Granola

Beverly Karns:

I’m Beverly and I’ve been making wholesome and nutritious granola for my family, work-mates and friends for 20 years. My husband has been taking the Cranberry Pecan granola to work for years. I would pop it into the backpacks of my three children to eat after morning practice or before afternoon games – who doesn’t love Dark Chocolate Cashew or Apricot Coconut in the afternoon? If they didn’t eat it, their friends would. Soon other moms and friends started calling and asking about my tasty little morsels. The clusters were always the first to go, and I found myself making more and more clusters – turning granola into a favorite snack and not just for breakfast. It’s vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, made from non-GMO ingredients and organic oats for optimal clean snacking!

It was in the simplicity of the ingredients (you know every ingredient on the back label), nutritionally balanced (nutrient dense with lots of protein and a hint of sweetness), and endless flavor combinations that Tempo was born. 

Three flavors- Cranberry Pecan, Apricot Coconut or Dark Chocolate Cashew and Two types – 4oz bags of clusters for an on-the-go snack or 11oz All-Day loose style granola with smaller clusters.

Either way – we’ve got you covered!

Tempo – a beat of your own – describes all of us, some days fast, some days slow. No matter the day, Tempo is here to serve your snacking and breakfast needs.

What’s the Tempo of your life today?

MISSION​

My mission is to inspire a healthy body, inquisitive mind, and bold spirit fueled by food consisting of natural ingredients we all grew up eating. Join me to spread awareness that balance is the key to healthy living.

151. T&T Open Mic: People of All Colors Succeed (POAC)

“We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color.”

I am so excited about this conversation because it came to be over fitness! I am once again competing in the 2022 Do More Charity Challenge, a charitable CrossFit event where teams compete on behalf of selected charities to win/raise funds for their charity- the purse is over $130K!! I am competing on one of the two Community Banks of Colorado Teams and our team will be competing for People of All Colors Succeed (POAC). POAC Succeed is working to close the gap between injustice and equality for all people to spark courageous conversations for change. SO, you know I was super excited to welcome the POAC Succeed team to the T&T mic to share their why, their journey, and what they are hoping to do in the future. This is an awesome conversation about athletes seeking purpose and putting all that energy back into their local communities. The POAC Succeed curriculum is unique and so needed in so many ways- life skills though sports, community, connection, and opportunity. If you are out there looking to make a change and help facilitate conversation and education about diversity and inclusion- this is the convo for you! AND you can come cheer on my team September 10th, 2022 at CrossFit Loop (Castle Rock, Colorado). Hope to see you there!

Lisa has an impressive background academically, in life experience, and in questioning a better way overall- perfect T&T mindset:). Lisa can pair the science with the intuition to help you on your journey in healing and so much more. In this conversation Lisa shares how she was introduced to therapy, how she realized it was her calling, and how she continues to level up and keep the edges sharp as life continues to evolve. This is an awesome conversation for anyone going through something (so, all of us) and looking to connect or find the next best steps- starting with healing. Start with a conversation with a mental health pro- I suggest Lisa!!

Physical AND mental fitness. Therapy, connection, healing, and evolution. Headspace, heart space, and just taking space. Intention and the universe’s timing. Grace, compassion, emotions, and letting go. Forgiveness. Releasing guilt and the importance of movement aka working out. The power of one small act of kindness, including to yourself.

149. Inspiro Tequila: Mara Smith

“Quality is not an act, it is a habit.”

-Aristotle

More (Inspiro) tequila, please! Yes, we are jumping back into the tequila pool with an awesome, woman owned and operated, emerging brand, Inspiro Tequila. I am so excited for this conversation because Founder, Mara Smith, is beyond intentional with the product and the brand. This is a product for women, by women and is actually clean (completely additive free)! Mara shares her journey thus far in the overly crowded beverage industry, her inspiration behind the name, and the overall mission. She couldn’t find a tequila that met her standards- so she created one. Mara might be newer to the tequila family, but she is making big waves the right way and raising the bar for intentional- mission driven companies (us conscious consumers SO appreciate that:). If you are looking to take a leap in life because you recolonize the opportunity to do something better or your way- this convo is for you. Chase the dream and/or build it!

This one is a video, so be sure to check us out on You Tube!

Highlights:

Representation. Innovation, salvation. Tequila, the beverage industry and taking on a big challenge. Questioning a better way. Chasing the dream and learning the ropes by LOTS of research. Building a team and earning your way up the ladder. Good, quality, mission driven tequila.

. . .

149. Inspiro Tequila: Mara Smith

Mara Smith:

Mara Smith is a former attorney, corporate strategist and stay-at-home mom who is the founder of Inspiro Tequila.  Mara began her legal career at a large law firm in Chicago before joining the corporate strategy team at a Fortune 100 Company.  After her twins were born prematurely, Mara decided to leave the corporate world to focus on her family.

She never stopped thinking about what was next.  Mara always envisioned running her own company and in February of 2020 she set out on her journey to create a new tequila brand.

 Mara started drinking tequila when she was looking for a clean, gluten-free spirit that fit into her active lifestyle. She searched for a tequila brand that was additive-free with a look, taste and aroma that appealed to her as the consumer. That perfect tequila did not exist, so she decided to create one. The goal was not just to create a one-of-a-kind tequila, it was also to bring another female voice to the spirits industry.  Women are involved in every aspect of Inspiro Tequila’s process from creating the taste profiles to getting bottles on the shelves.   As a female founder, Mara’s mission is to inspire and support other women on their entrepreneurial journeys through financial support and mentoring.
