Have you ever felt torn between your different passions and unsure how to bring them all together under one story?
Today’s guest is Sarika Sake, a former UN official turned award-winning entrepreneur with a mission to spread joy and preserve the 2000-year-old craft of Japanese Sake. She’s the founder of Sarika International and the Sake Beauty Balm, a natural cosmetics brand infused with sake and recognized by the 2024 European Natural Beauty Awards.
In this episode, Sarika opens up about navigating life as a multipassionate entrepreneur, running several businesses while anchoring them under one personal brand. From her surprising first encounter with “real” sake, to launching a face yoga practice by accident, to creating a community for global women leaders, Sarika shares how everything she does ties back to joy, sustainability, and women’s empowerment.
We also explore how she’s learned to share her story in a way that honors both her values and her privacy, and why owning all her “babies” (aka business ventures) helped her define a brand that feels true to who she is.
If you’ve ever wondered how to merge your many interests into one clear message, don’t miss this inspiring conversation.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.
