THE TRUE NORTH COLLECTIVE is a gathering of un-sugar-coated conversations on authenticity, created by the real-life documentation of two humans discovering and hacking what it means to reconnect with our own true north. We explore and celebrate the untold stories of everyday people fearlessly finding and living their true north. In our own search to discover and live from our TRUE NORTH, we have met so many interesting, courageous people from all walks of life, doing all sorts of amazing things to live life in their own unique way. Stories from all over the world. Stories with heart. Stories with grit. Stories with plot twists. Stories going untold – until now.

#6: NATURE’S GLITTER: THE POWER OF JUST STARTING + BEING NICE.

We are Rachel Bellotti and Jenell Riesner, co-hosts of the TRUE NORTH COLLECTIVE PODCAST, exploring everyday people fearlessly finding and living their true north.

We have met so many interesting people from all walks of life living fascinating and inspiring lives whose stories aren’t being told. This season we are excited to connect with and celebrate the untold stories of everyday people from Sheboygan, WI, to Santa Monica, CA, who are living their true north and inspiring each of us to do the same.

Introducing Kate Kent, founder of Nice Hair a collaborative community salon in Milwaukee, WI. She’s an artist, wild child, connector, and forever student with a mission to bring people together, support them in feeling great, having fun, and live their best life. And creating some cool shit with hair along the way!

3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  1. Your dream life might actually be in the process of getting where you’re going. It’s not always about the end result.
  2. Taking care of each other and sharing it forward is actually a profitable business practice and helps all of us, especially within competitive spaces. We each (and brands) uniquely live out the universal trade secrets, so we don’t need to hoard them as much as we think. What sets you apart is you, not the skill.
  3. Everyday we live in the grey, and are you are choosing to head towards the light or towards the dark? Work towards the feeling you want to feel every day. Do things that get you more of the feelings you want and don’t do the things that get you less of the feelings you want.
