Jessy - Kari Warberg Block, CEO of Earth-Kind, this week on Glambition™ Radio

Kari Warberg on Glambition Radio with Ali Brown Question: If a mouse ran up your leg while you were helping the farmer you were dating to push-start a truck (stay with me here…) you would:


A. Scream… and run away from said truck

B. Scream… and run away from said date

C. Scream… and run away from truck and date while noting an idea for a multimillion dollar business


Well, my friend Kari Warberg Block’s run-in with that rodent helped her launch a $40 million dollar company. So her answer was “C”.


Today on Glambition Radio, how one little mouse, a bottle of perfume, and A LOT of faith helped Kari create the business, and the life, of her dreams.


It’s a pretty incredible story. I’ll let HER talk you through it on the interview, as it’s quite comical. Her run-in with the rodent led her to the idea of creating a SAFE, non-poison rodent repellant. And it WORKED.


That was the good news. And the bad news… As sales started to take off, the Department of Agriculture took note. And they told her she needed to get her product registered and licensed and ultra-tested… to the tune of $2 million.


What happened next will inspire and delight you. Kari kept going when most people would’ve just thrown in the towel. Her perseverance, dedication, and unwavering faith paid off, and now her company manufactures the first and only EPA-certified botanical rodent repellent. It’s available in stores nationwide, including Ace Hardware and Whole Foods.


But trust me, you HAVE to hear it from Kari. She is just salt of the earth and I LOVE this woman!


This week’s Glambition Radio episode is loaded with inspiring advice on following your heart and NEVER giving up. Here’s a sneak preview for you from Kari, in her own words:


Tip #1: Believe in yourself


“I always love to let people know that they’re capable of so much more than they think. I was in special ed when I grew up. I went to a different school every year of my life. I was told I wouldn’t go to college. Look at me now. It’s fun to defy those odds.”


Tip #2: Find your niche and own it


“For me, this whole crazy thing with rodents would not have happened if I hadn’t worked in retail selling perfume and been dating a farmer. Everybody has some combination in their life, and it’s all there. Find your niche and own it.”


Tip #3: Let go and let God


“I used to think I had to control everything. But not until I really let go and said, ‘Okay God, I’m going to let go, and I’m going to let you show me the way’… it made everything so much more effortless. You start to see things appear before you that have always been there, but you didn’t see them before.”


So before you say “Oh RATS… I missed this interview…” go listen to this episode of Glambition Radio on iTunes now (or download for later).


Love and success,

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Stuck In The Middle

Question: I don’t want to be in the middle of this! My boyfriend’s mother is sick and he wants to move back home to be closer to her. His mother HATES me and he wants me to go with him. The doctor’s are saying the outlook is not positive and I want him to be there for his mother but I don’t think I am a big enough person to put our issues aside to endure her. Am I horrible? Answer: Yes, you are a horrible horrible person and you’re going to hell. KIDDING!!!!!! You are magnificent and courageous and willing to tell the truth… and I find that inspiring I think it’s very important for people to be given the option to spend time with their parents as they die because sometimes people die suddenly and you never get a chance to say something; yet, your boyfriend will be able to feel good about the time, effort, and presence he gives her. And it’s also very important for you not to stop living or choose something that’s not a contribution for you and sacrifice yourself for another only t...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Boyfriend Was Rude To Disabled Brother

Q: For about a year, I have been dating (what I thought) was a wonderful man.  I am very protective of my disabled brother so I am hesitant to introduce men in my life to him.  This guy was different so I wanted him to understand that if he was going to be a part of my life, he was going to be a part of my brother’s as well. The way he acted towards him was atrocious! He ignored him and if my brother made contact, he jumped as if my brother’s disability would rub off on him!  I thought he was the one but now I am not sure.  Thoughts? A: I’m so sorry love.  This experience must trouble your heart in two ways – how he treated your brother and disappointment for believing he was the one.  While I do not condone his behavior, I must say that people have a tendency to act unpredictable and/or unkind when they are around people who are different from them.  Through education and practice, people can change.  Would you be open to communicating with yo...
