   How Erewhon Makes You Think a $25 Smoothie is a Health Investment And maybe a down payment on eternal wellness Imagine you’re strolling down the sun kissed streets of Los Angeles. Your heart? Light. Your wallet? If you're anything like me, it's about to get significantly lighter. As you cross the threshold of Erewhon - the organic grocery store (vibe: half yoga retreat, half Coachella VIP tent) - you witness the 20,000 square feet space of beautiful people and beautiful produce. Again, if you're anything like me - you suddenly feel a shift in your priorities. Your savings account doesn't need any more money in it. Maybe your mom was right all along - health really is wealth.

"Business Development" is such a vague term. I'm not even sure anybody that actually works in the field can clearly identify what it means - except for the fact that your job is to to help make more money for the business. I spent 3 summers trying to find my "dream job." Marketing at Unilever was creative and enjoyable, but I soon learnt that I would be spending 365 days a year designing digital assets for skincare products - which made it less appealing.

But when I look back at it, the only thing I actually liked about the role was the glamorous office and the expensive meals.

In very simple terms, a social commerce agency sells products on social me...
