In this week’s episode of The Idealists (formerly Grit & Grace), Melissa interviews Christina Mace-Turner, founder of Mab & Stoke, the wellness company that created the world’s first herbal super tab. Before Mab & Stoke, Christina co-founded True Botanicals, a heritage personal care brand. Before True Botanicals, she founded, developed and managed Apple’s global Business Affairs team from the launch of the iPhone 3G through the second-generation iPad. Christina’s perspective is timely and so necessary.

“I think there’s room to talk about love in business and I think that’s very off-putting for some people. But I think it’s important because it’s behind why I do what I do and so much of the work I feel my colleagues do. The kind of people I want to surround myself with are people who are unafraid of bringing love to the table. And I don’t mean it in the sense of ‘Oh, I love you, I want to get married.’ I mean it in the sense of wholeheartedness, being vulnerable, being able to listen, and being really strong and dedicated to your mission.”
