    Eliza Gaynor MindenBallerinas started wearing point shoes in the late 19th century. Despite advancements in the dance world, the construction of toe shoes has remained pretty much unchanged. The same materials– paste, cardboard, paper and leather– are still used today, and the result is a dancer prone to excess pain and injury. Eliza Gaynor Minden, a former dancer, designed a more modern, longer lasting point shoe to address this stress.

    Eliza explains how Gaynor Minden shoes successfully overcame controversy and finally gained acceptance among the world’s leading dancers, from scratch.

    Raegan Moya-JonesThe ancient practice of swaddling, or wrapping a baby in a tight blanket, proves to have benefits for a baby’s health and development. Growing up in Australia, Raegan Moya-Jones was exposed to mothers swaddling their babies with muslin, a type of cotton. Years later, after a move to the United States and the birth of her first daughter, Raegan could not find the muslin blankets her family used back home. As a result, Raegan started Aden and Anais to fill this need, and the wraps are now increasingly popular among new families across the United States.

    Raegan talks about how she introduced a new product for American babies and built her company, from scratch.

    David DodsonVitamin consumption is often taken for granted in prosperous nations. In contrast, populations in developed countries often do not have access to essential vitamins or minerals. Especially pregnant women in developing countries run the risk of denying their fetuses proper nutrition because basic foods are not fortified with micronutrients like folic acid, iron, iodine, and vitamin A.

    Jessica Harris speaks with David Dodson, founder of Project Healthy Children, an organization that fights malnutrition in developing countries through food fortification programs. By helping governments fortify foods with micronutrients, David and his team are helping women have healthier pregnancies, leading to fewer nutrient-related birth defects. David describes how an overseas trip inadvertently led to the start of an organization that saves lives, from scratch.

    Show notes

    Chuck CloseWhen we see a painting hanging on the hallowed walls of a museum, we get a sense of an artist’s technique and imagination, but we don’t get a sense of the process and hurdles that artist faced on the way to critical acclaim. What goes on behind the scenes, or behind the canvas? How does a starving artist becoming a financially secure cultural icon?

    Jessica Harris speaks with one such artist, Chuck Close. Chuck is considered one of the leading contemporary painters of the 20th and 21st century. His works hang in New York’s Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney, the Walker Museum in Minneapolis, and the National Gallery in Washington DC, just to name a few.

    Many of us are familiar with his work, but this show makes us more familiar with his life, as he tells us how he built a successful art career, from scratch.
