As a Latina, I grew up gathering with family and friends, toasting to life’s great moments. Whether it’s birthdays, holidays, weddings, or you name it, there was always a reason for bringing our community together and for celebrating. That is why I started Saludi in Denver, CO - to bring our community together and support each other with products that are way too pretty not to be used. We took a new approach and created products that inspire through colorful beauty (and make drinking more fun). Our work is showing that there’s more than the black and white of life, but a gorgeous spectrum of colorful and beautiful moments.  Cheers l Salud l Saúde to stylish and unforgettable celebrations!  Dani and the Saludi team 💕

Hi! I am Christine Landis, a former CEO of a global fintech company, empowered parent to two children, and current founder of Peacock Parent Inc.Empowering parents to spend more quality time with their families is my passion. While I’m good at business, my strength lies in applying the skills I learned in growing and selling a multi-million dollar business to my own personal household. Treating home like a growing company - delegating tasks, outsourcing chores, and managing teams - allows me to be a more present parent.It’s not the traditional way of parenting. But it works. Everything gets done, through delegation. And it allows me - and fellow Peacock Parents - to show up more present, energized, and joyful for their families. And most importantly, it allows me to take the time to empower others to do the same.Please let me know if I can be of further help on your article.

As a serial entrepreneur, brain tumor survivor, and the youngest winner of NYU Stern’s business plan competition, Chris Mirabile is known for beating the odds. Throughout his career, Chris was pursuing a lifelong passion – health and wellness – with an emphasis on avoiding disease (spurred by his encounter with a brain tumor), extending his healthy lifespan, and maximizing his performance and wellbeing. As a self-proclaimed “citizen scientist,” Chris dug into scientific research on longevity and experimented with supplements, diet, exercise, and lifestyle hacks to find the secret to living a long, healthy life. As Chris shares on his blog SlowMyAge.com, and according to independently verified third-party epigenetic, metabolomic, telomere, andphysiological tests, he was able to reduce his biological age by 37%, his pace of aging by 31%, and his telomere length is the equivalent of a 7-year-old’s. The outputs were the best results the lab had ever seen, according to the lab’s founder. Now approaching a chronological age of 40, Chris’ biology is by most accounts that of someone in his mid-twenties – a particularly noteworthy accomplishment for someone who endured the physiological and psychological stresses of a brain tumor. In following his life-long passion and after more than a decade of research and experimentation, Chris founded NOVOS, the first nutraceutical company that targets the 12 biological causes of aging to increase longevity. NOVOS includes a Scientific Advisory Board of six of the world’s top biologists and geneticists who study aging from Harvard, MIT, The Salk Institute, and more. With NOVOS, Chris created much more than a supplement company— he built the first-of-its-kind consumer biotech platform that leverages the latest science to help people take control of their healthspans and lifespans. NOVOS is a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC).
