In my first in person podcast live at SXSW in the Creative Industries Expo, I’m joined by Pam Cruse Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Soul Community Planet (SCP). SCP is a holistic hospitality group with 9 boutique hotels that give thanks to Mother Earth and inspires guests with hand crafted hotels, coworking spaces, restaurants, and fitness centers. In this episode, Pam and I explore the journey of co-founding this business with her husband after embracing a spiritual practice inspired by her mother’s passing, while raising four daughters and growing the company globally. This is a special conversation that reflects the true essence of the MetaBusiness World, which is connecting our divine life’s purpose to the work we do in and for this world.
Here’s what we cover in this episode:
- Applying personal values to business to truly be purpose driven. The SCP vision reflects a belief in the power of healthy living, kindness towards others and compassion for the planet.
- Overcoming a mother’s terminal illness & transition which led to a significant shift in Pam’s perspective; catalyzing a journey of exploring beauty beyond the 3D and embracing a growth mindset.
- Embracing a spirit of ‘ubuntu’ during the pandemic that was amplified by humanity’s deep longing for connectivity. This inspired the essence of the designs you see across the SCP spaces, activities and environments.
