Episode description

Every Wednesday on the Hippie Haven podcast, learn how to live harmoniously with yourself, others & the planet. We talk about all things hippie, including eating vegan, reducing your trash, starting an ethical business, eco-activism, gardening, beekeeping, tiny house living, and so much more.

My guest today is George Siegal. He began his career in front of the camera as a newscaster, sportscaster, and weather caster. He worked in markets from Los Angeles to San Francisco, Seattle, Detroit, and San Antonio, Texas. In addition to his work in front of the camera, George was also a feature reporter and producer. In 2001, he formed J.E.L Productions, a video production company that produces commercials, infomercials, television programs, and documentary films. George is most proud of his latest venture, forming the nonprofit documentary film company Move the World Films, Inc. He wrote, directed, and produced the award-winning  documentary films The Last House Standing and License to Parent. Today we're talking about how to plan for natural disasters and what you can do today to make sure you're as prepared as possible if disaster strikes.

The Hippie Haven Podcast is hosted by Callee - a zero waste activist & business owner. Formerly a translator for the US Navy, Callee was honorably discharged as a conscientious objector in 2017 following an episode of severe depression & alcoholism fueled by not living in alignment with her core values. That same year, at age 23, she started Bestowed Essentials, a handmade line of eco-friendly beauty & home products that are now stocked in over 100 stores around the US & Canada. Callee began hosting this free podcast in August 2018, as well as speaking at events and teaching educational workshops across the country, as part of her life mission to arm you with the knowledge & tools you need to spark positive change in your community. In December 2019, she opened The Hippie Haven in Rapid City, South Dakota - a zero waste retail store & community space with a little free library - the first of its kind in the state.
