For the first time ever, Nell and co-host Mikee Bentz sit down together in real life to kick off a bold new season of What the Nell!? Podcast, The EcoPreneur's Edge Edition. From sexual health to climate realities, political tension to sustainable salon tools, this conversation is honest, hilarious, and eye-opening.

They cover the most pressing challenges ecopreneurs face in 2025 from the ethics of cloud seeding to water wars, the Olaplex lawsuit, and why thriving as a values-based business owner takes nuance, empathy, and a solid shampoo bowl. Plus, get an exclusive peek into Mikee’s stunning Harrisburg salon, eco-friendly product picks, and how he’s built a five-star sustainable beauty business over 12 years.
