In today’s conversation, Ken and Rob are joined by Vivian Labib Nouer, an award winning artist and social entrepreneur from Cairo, Egypt. Initially an interior designer, she decided to combine her skills in marketing and interest in the arts to start up Charisma Arts in order to showcase local artists who were struggling to market themselves.
However on a life-changing trip to Upper (read Southern) Egypt, Vivian encountered many poor families who depended on the women of the family for economic survival. Moved with compassion, she decided to use Charisma Arts as a way of empowering these women to sell their art and handicraft by giving them a platform to share and sell their art so they can support their families. Since then the artisans Vivian has empowered as a social entrepreneur have grown to include refugees, prisoners, orphans and other folks who find themselves marginalized.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
