ONE SUNNY MORNING NOT too long ago, a dozen or so new hires arrive at the headquarters of Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps in Vista, California. They've shown up to a fairly standard-looking suburban office park to be initiated into their standard-sounding roles in liquid-soap production, shipping, and regional sales. But the normalcy ends quickly on Planet Bronner.
They park their cars in a sea of solar powered electric-vehicle chargers and then walk past a company tended garden, where fruits and vegetables are anyone's for the taking.
Inside, they are greeted warmly-and perhaps thrown off guard a bit-by the Dr. Bronner's welcome wagon, a crew of impossibly upbeat humans who can best be described as vibey.
These cultural ambassadors, when they are not planning their annual Burning Man pilgrimages, wear tiedye mechanic coveralls and drive around Dr. Bronner's HQ blasting disco from a psychedelically outfitted fire truck. They call themselves the Foamy Homies.
The new hires make their way to a conference room for their employee onboarding session, where they have been prompted by the Foamy Homies to introduce themselves by showing off their preferred dance moves while a fog machine pumps vaporous clouds into the room. By the time this fresh crop of Dr. Bronner's employees hears from the company's CEO, David Bronner-who long ago revised the abbreviation to stand for Cosmic Engagement Officer-they have realized that this will not be a standard manufacturing gig at all.

"It's Not About Being Perfect. It's About Being Revolutionary"- Beyoncé Knowles-Carter talks business, legacy, art, and family.
Midway through Cowboy Carter, her eighth and most recent studio album, released this past spring, a voice makes the project's mission statement plain over blaring alarms and a thunderous beat-declaring the concept of genre to be a sense of confinement for those artists whose creativity is too wide-ranging to fit in a neat box. All before Beyoncé herself saunters in comparing herself to Thanos, the Marvel villain known for seeking precious stones of mystical power to claim as his own and assemble into one unified superpower.
The Miraculous Resurrection of Notre-Dame - In 2019, a fire nearly destroyed the crown jewel of France-and the nation set a breakneck five-year deadline to bring it back from the ashes. This is the story of how an army of artisans turned back centuries to restore Notre-Dame by hand, and wound up reviving something even greater than the cathedral itself.

Can Anyone Catch LAMAR JACKSON?
THERE IS AN awestruck, almost mythical way that folks discuss Lamar Jackson. Teammates, coaches, and fans talk about the Baltimore Ravens' incandescent 27-year-old quarterback like he's the football version of Paul Bunyan, if Bunyan ran the 40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds.
Healthy Protein Can Help Shrink Your Gut - Being a trainer, bodybuilder, and nutrition expert means that companies frequently send me their products and ask for my stamp of approval.
Like my father always said, "What you put inside your body always shows up on the outside." One protein shake that I received, that will remain nameless, was touted as 'the next big shake' but really had a list of gut destroying ingredients. Everywhere I read I saw harmful artificial ingredients, added sugars, synthetic dyes, preservatives and cheap proteins; the kind of proteins that keep you fat no matter how hard you hit the gym, sap your energy and do nothing for your muscles.
