Honest Health with Jeffrey Burke S02 E52 - Mollie Englehart
Manage episode 506519247 series 3676594
How’s this for a transformation? From California vegan chef to cattle rancher, farmer, agricultural leader, social media guru, and regenerative chef in Texas. And that’s just some of Mollie Englehart’s doings. (She’s also got a book coming out soon: “Debunked by Nature.”) Thankfully, she found time in her busy schedule for a fun chat with host Jeffrey Burke about transformation, change, being open to change, and the importance of looking to nature for answers.
She grew up barefoot, with soil between her toes, on an organic, 27 acre farm in upstate New York. As a kid, her free time was spent covered in dirt, splashing the pond, eating carrots she yanked out of the ground as she frolicked around the gardens and apple orchards of her family farm. Here is where her intrinsic love for healthy food and diversity was nourished.
Today, Mollie is a walking mosaic with experience and expertise as diverse as a handful of healthy soil. After graduating from the prestigious CalArts film program, Mollie began her career in entertainment working for the urban A&R department Epic at Sony Music under the guidance and teaching of Max Gousse. Her entrepreneurial spirit was quickly realized with the founding of Majestic Studios, which rapidly became the recording home for many artists on the Epic and Electra labels in addition to Virgin and many others. Mollie’s personal artistic talents manifested themselves in the form of poetry and spoken word where she recorded several albums, appeared on the HBO series Def Poetry Jam, as well as the groundbreaking documentary Sp!t. Then came an opportunity to focus her artistic talent and expression toward her lifelong passion for health and wellness through food. Mollie started the Vegan restaurants KindKreme and Sage which now has four locations in Southern California – Echo Park, Culver City, Agoura Hills, and Pasadena, and produced May I be Frank, a documentary exploring the transformations possible through healthy eating and positive thinking.
With this eclectic palette of passion across various roles and industries, we wanted to know how and when farming became part of her vision.
