Life's Essential Ingredients
Life’s Essential Ingredients is spinoff of C4 Leaders, a California based non-profit who uses PIZZA to guide all people in RISING TOGETHER. The show is hosted by two best friends who were college roommates at the University of San Francisco – (Jeff with a Mike). Getting ready for the show's 5th season (over 130 episodes), it is currently listened to in 56 countries and 760 cities.
The educational and entertaining show takes a deep, yet humorous look at life’s essential ingredients. The hosts will engage in interesting conversation with some of the world’s best leaders, authors, athletes, musicians, chefs, architects, moms, dads, brothers, sisters, comedians, CEOs, coaches, professors, teachers, and many, many, more industries and professions.
The goal of the show is to have the guest highlight their life’s essential ingredients, who helped them develop the ingredients, and how the guest can help the listeners develop their essential ingredients.
The hosts create space for the guest to be the star of the show and provide an incredible platform to highlight their life, their business, their passion, and most importantly, their gift they share with the world.

About our guest: Artist, Story Teller, Public Speaker, Entrepreneur, Dog Lover, Hard Worker, Jeweler, and someone still yet defined. When Katherine was five, her mother gave her, her first watercolor set and Katherine’s love for art was born. Fast forward a few years and Katherine was graduating from Loyola University New Orleans with a BA in graphic design and shortly thereafter began her art and design business. Katherine has published two books and has her work exhibited in many public entities, including the West Baton Rouge Museum of Art.
Katherine was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, better known as Brittle Bone Disease. Katherine is 2 feet, 7 inches tall and by age 10, she had broken 500+ bones. Growing up with brittle bone disease, Katherine’s life was always a little different from her able-bodied friends. Katherine was blessed to be born into a family of veterinarians and there was no way her parents were going to let her disease dictate her happiness. Her parents made her want to make something of herself, and she was going to be happy doing it—end of story.
Currently, Katherine puts most of her energy into expanding her reach and capabilities as a watercolor artist and motivating others to contribute to their communities. Katherine, thanks for sharing your many gifts with people all over the world, for continuing to push yourself to be your best, and for being our guest on Life’s Essential Ingredients. Welcome to the show!
