About the Authors

Nadine A. Thompson is not only the president, CEO, and co-founder of Warm Spirit, she is the visionary and leader of a community of over 20,000 women and men who are empowered entrepreneurs and change agents. In 1997, Nadine founded Warm Spirit with friend and entrepreneur Daniel Wolf. She was excited about the possibilities of creating a business venture that would enlighten and empower women. Warm Spirit provides access to entrepreneurial opportunities and high-quality natural products and creates wealth for the consultants and their communities. Its unique marketing plan returns approximately fifty cents from each dollar in sales back into the pockets of the consultants and therefore recycles wealth and profits directly back into these communities. In 2006, the company was named the Emerging Company of the Year by Black Enterprise magazine.
