Rachel Roy
Personal history is so much a part of the people we become later in life; our experiences mold us in a multitude of ways big and small. Nowhere is that more true than in fashion designer, Rachel Roy's life. She recently discussed with Deepak Chopra the important influences in her work and in her life. My dad is Indian and so I consider myself an Indian woman, my mother is Dutch and I think having that balance of two nationalities in the house has affected everything that I do both personally and professionally. Because of the mix of cultures in her life, Rachel loves to mix thing in her professional life; fabrics, colors and patterns are all combined in new ways when things are oddly beautiful that's when I find perfection in it.

Donna Karan
An icon of the fashion industry; there are very few people who are not familiar with the design work of Donna Karen. Donna was born into fashion; My father was a tailor and my mother was a fashion model so I thought that [fashion] was the one thing I never wanted to do. Of course whatever we don't want, that's what happens, she recalled in a sit down with Deepak Chopra. It seems that Donna was destined for a career in the fashion industry and since her start with Anne Klein in the 1960s, her rise through the fashion world has been meteoric. What is perhaps less widely known is Donna's work with Urban Zen. Read more.

Frederique Van Der Wal
Supermodel turned entrepreneur Frederique van der Wal, founded Frederique's Choice an e-commerce business selling flower bouquets and lifestyle across 10 countries in Europe. As part of this focus Deepak Chopra and Frederique share some intimate stories discussing the biological effects of being surrounded by flowers. It’s proven that flowers not only give a reaction but take away anxiety, worry and more importantly put you physically in the moment. The intelligence that creates flowers ultimately creates our lives. Flowers release oxygen, something we can’t live without, yet need carbon oxide which we release with every breath we take. In this One World show, Frederique and Deepak trivialize the significance of this object of nature.

Keith Mitchell
For Keith Mitchell, what started as a way to get out of going to church with his parents turned into a successful career. Keith was in the early years of a very successful professional NFL football career when two games into the 2003 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, that career was cut short. He made a particularly hard hit and ended up flat on his back. It wasn't supposed to be an unusual hit but as Keith told Deepak Chopra, from that point on, my journey truly began. This particular hit left him with a spinal contusion that temporarily paralyzed him. My mind was saying move, I thought I heard myself speak 'move!' but my body wasn't responding. Read more.
