Summary

Jordan has been a huge fan of today’s guest, Khalil Rafati, for many years! Back in 2011, Khalil started SunLife Organics, an incredibly healing juice company– Jordan used to go their location in Malibu when it first opened! Jordan also recommends reading his wildly beautiful book, I Forgot To Die, where Khalil shares his powerful journey of drug addiction, being homeless, and hitting the ultimate bottom of the barrel. It’s so incredible to see where he is now compared to where he was.

 

Khalil truly embodies what it means to live a soul on fire life, and in today’s episode, he shares the journey it’s been for him to get here. Jordan and Khalil also talk about his upbringing, what’s in store for his company, and SO much more. Jordan was so honored to be able to speak to such an inspirational human, and can’t wait for his story to deeply affect and inspire you!

 

You know how much Jordan loves her probiotics! Silver Fern has the proper amount of strains of bacteria in their probiotic, so it can actually arrive alive in your intestinal tract. (That’s what you want!) Head on over to Silver Fern’s website and use the code BLONDE for 20% off your order. And don’t forget to listen to Silver Fern chief nutritionist Charity Lighten’s episode! Jordan just loves their probiotic, and the plant protein powder (it’s chocolate flavored!)

    Hello my loves, welcome back to the Balanced Bond podcast, Soul on Fire.

    0:18.9

    Today we are chatting with a human who lives a very soul on Fire life in every single

    0:26.9

    definition of the word. I love him so much, I've been a fan of him for so many years,

    0:34.2

    long before I ever had a podcast or even a blog for that matter. I was going into Sunlight

    0:42.1

    for GANX in Malibu and Kaleal Raphati started Sunlight back in around the end of 2011

    0:52.4

    early 2012. He's truly so next level, I read his book, I forgot to die when it came

    1:01.8

    out about three or four years ago, all about his struggle with drug addiction. Living

    1:08.0

    on the street, being homeless, hitting the absolute bottom of the barrel, truly living

    1:14.6

    a life where he should have died so many different times. And now he owns the best smoothie

    1:24.0

    and juice shop, Sunlight for GANX. They have food, they have so many amazing delicious

    1:30.8

    organic smoothies and matcha, and bowls and coffee and juice. And he has 400 employees,

    1:39.6

    10 locations with five on the way. So if you don't live in LA, they're opening now in,

    1:47.5

    1:52.6

    so excited about since I used to live in the West Village in Tribeca, totally has my heart

    1:58.4

    and they need something like Sunlight. Where else? A couple other places that he mentions

    2:04.2

    in the episode. So if you don't live in LA, hopefully soon you'll have access to Sunlight

    2:10.0

    for ever you live because my projection for Sunlight is that they're just going to keep growing

    2:16.3

    and growing in the most beautiful and organic ways. Cleo's passion radiates through every

    2:25.8

    single Sunlight location. When you walk in there, the atmosphere is so blissful. There's

    2:34.0

    crystals everywhere, some of the most beautiful, huge amethyst I've ever seen. Everybody is

    2:40.8

    incredibly kind because I believe that kindness trickles down from the people at the top,
