This week I wrote randomly on our Facebook page about the privilege of experience growing pains as BHB stretches to meet demand.  It is a right-brain/left-brain trip, a sharp learning curve, and ultimately, a true thrill to have an idea that has connected as quickly and widely as this one. My vision is much much bigger than I’ve yet found a way to articulate, and I know we will get there, but right now, we’re little, we’ve grown rapidly, and we’re under-resourced (like most start-ups).

So, I’ve started reaching out to friends who are further ahead of me, who are already running “little empires of goodness”, and asking rather frank questions. One women from the well is today’s absolutely incredible Inspiration Bomber Berry Liberman (publisher and editor of Dumbo Feather, co-founder of Small Giants).

Berry Liberman is the kind of woman who, when she’s having lunch with Brene Brown, just turns around and says to me, “Why don’t you come?”, as she did this weekend. And when Berry then talks to Brene about Big Hearted Business and Brene says “I love Big Hearted Business! I’m going to feature them on my blog!”, Berry lights up with joy. She is there to celebrate, to connect, and to back you up, knowing you would do the same for her.

In short, she bloody gets it.

And yet, it wasn’t always this way. For many years, Berry says she was trapped in a rather extraordinary “red carpet dream” that, well, makes for a pretty incredible story. After inheriting a fortune at 14, she really could be shopping for diamonds and truffles right now. Instead, she’s sharing her smarts and building brilliant big-hearted-businesses and relationships and communities and things that mean something.  But why? Listen to find out.

This month’s Inspiration Bomb Artist is the beautiful Jessie Willow Tucker. If I were to describe her work in simple terms, all I would say is “Beauty x infinitum”. Thank you Jessie.

We want you comments (under the video) – we want to hear what you would like to ask Berry, and what you take from this Bomb? (Yes, there will be a random prize given!)

This is Berry Liberman, Part One.
