Be Impactful by Impact Fashion Rivky Itzkowitz: Founder at Impact Fashion Hi, I'm Rivky Itzkowitz I'm the founder and designer at Impact Fashion and I'm the host here at Be Impactful, the show about women making an Impact in their own corners of the world. I started Impact Fashion in November of 2016 so that the modest minded women in my community could feel empowered to put their best foot forward every day, regardless of their size. In the process of growing my business I've been fortunate enough to connect with women of all different types and from all different fields. And the main lesson I've learnt is that we are all just improvising. We're going around doing the best we can with what we've got, feeling self conscious about what everyone else is accomplishing. The truth is, the people who you're looking over your shoulder at are probably doing the exact same thing to someone else.So let's talk about the real nitty gritty in our lives and journeys and lift each other up by being just a bit more open. Join me and my guests as we try to figure out what i As The Tea Steeps Harney & Sons Fine Teas It started as a hobby in the basement of the White Hart Inn in Salisbury, Connecticut and was shared only with inn guests. Now, over 30 years later, their 90,000 square foot facility in Millerton, New York ships to fans across the globe. Join us as we spill the tea on one of the country's most influential families, the Harneys, and the story behind their tea empire. The origins of how John and Elyse Harney gave birth to five children, a tea company, and a real estate business makes for funny, moving, and absolutely riveting listening. Tune in to the new 6 part Podcast, "As the Tea Steeps" presented by Emeric and Alexander Harney available now on iTunes, Google Play.
