#0061: Sharon Rowe on the subtle power of going tiny and glasses of water and the death of single-use plastic bags.

I first met Sharon when she gave a talk at Woodstock BYO. That’s when I learned about her passion for the zero/less waste movements. There was so much more I wanted to ask this thought-provoking, social entrepreneur.Not only is Sharon passionate about reducing waste, she is also passionate about entrepreneurship. She recently condensed all of her business knowledge into a book called The Magic of Tiny Business. I ripped through the book in one afternoon and loved it. I'm not the only person who loved the book. Seth Godin had some awesome things to say about it, too. (Yes, that Seth Godin.)When Sharon's not running her company, she is speaking to rid the world of single use plastic bags and promote sustainable, tiny business. She’s also active in The Social Venture Network, B Corporation, The Women's Presidents Organization, and the Governing Board of Westchester Collaborative Theater. Whew. She is one busy lady who holds it all together with poise and grace.In this episode, Sharon talks about the power of making simple a switch over time, the death of single use plastic bags (YESSS!), and getting comfortable with discomfort. We also talk about turning tiny ideas into tiny businesses, how regrouping can help you move forward, and the importance of being intentional and incremental in life and in business.Selected link love + resources from the episodeConnect with Sharon Rowe on social media:  Eco-Bags Website | Eco-Bags on Instagram Eco-Bags on Facebook | Sharon’s Author Website | Twitter | Instagram | FacebookThe Magic of Tiny Business, Sharon Rowe (book)Seth Godin: Website | BlogBlake RoweThe Social Venture NetworkBCorporationThe Women's Presidents’ OrganizationWestchester Collaborative TheaterCreative Confidence, Tom Kelley, David Kelley (book)Terry Gross - Bruce Springsteen interview on Fresh AirRoz Chast, Cartoonist, The New YorkerTwyla TharpEarth DayBridget Jones’ Diary (movie)Mentor Sponsor MashupKickass Theme Music: “Things Are Getting Better” Written by Rishi Dhir.
