Description
Hosted by Abena Anim-SomuahProduced by Kerry Diamond and Catherine BakerEdited by Jenna SadhuRecorded at CityVox Studios in NYCThis week, we look into the future with Lisa Li, founder of The Qi, a wellness brand specializing in single-origin, whole-flower tea. After a decade in fashion, Lisa was burned out and looking for a new path. The idea for The Qi came to her when she learned about the connection between energy and flowers while studying qi gong, a practice that combines breathing, meditation, and movement. Lisa joins host Abena Anim-Somuah to talk about the aesthetics and identity of The Qi, supply chain transparency, how bootstrapping her brand has forced her to be “resourceful, scrappy, and creative,” and why she’d like to collaborate with wellness-focused hotels. Don’t miss Lisa’s voicemail to her future self and Future Flash Five predictions. Thank you to Kerrygold and Walmart for supporting our show.
