Essential Ingredients Podcast — Media Kit 2026 | NextGen Purpose

The Show

Where doing good and doing well aren't mutually exclusive.

Essential Ingredients with Justine Reichman is a weekly podcast exploring what it really takes to build a business — and a life — that doesn't compromise. Each episode features founders, innovators, and leaders across food, wellness, beauty, fashion, sustainability, and conscious living.

This is the podcast for people who believe that doing good and doing well aren't mutually exclusive — and who are looking for evidence that it's possible.
