Raphaël Yharrassarry

Je travaille en freelance comme lead UX designer, psychologue depuis le dernier millénaire. Mon parcours m’a permis de travailler sur des sujets variés allant du WAP à la télévision, en passant par, le web, le e-commerce et les applications professionnelles ou le design de service. Ma vision de l’expérience utilisateur repose sur deux démarches complémentaires, l’une pragmatique autour de la conception de services et l’autre stratégique autour de l’évolution des organisations et l’intégration du design au sein des équipes.

Je travaille depuis 2020 pour beta.gouv.fr toujours en freelance afin d’essayer d’améliorer les services publics avec l’intention de changer le monde, de le rendre meilleur et de limiter la crise climatique qui arrive, mais avant ça il faut que je pense à faire du pain et bien d’autres choses plus ou moins futile comme un potager, du miel et du cidre.

Jordan Person Owens

Jordan Person Owens

With over two decades of experience in both nursing and massage therapy, I bring a clinical yet holistic perspective to the intersection of cannabis, wellness, and skincare. I've been immersed in the cannabis industry since 2010 and began teaching in 2017, committed to educating others on safe, effective, and evidence-informed practices. As a nurse of 24 years and a licensed massage therapist for 19 years, my teaching is grounded in both science and compassion.

In 2014, I founded Primal Therapeutics, one of the first mobile cannabis massage businesses in the country, dedicated to bringing plant medicine directly to clients in a personalized and therapeutic setting. Building on that mission, I launched Primal Healing in 2019, a line of organic hemp-based skincare products that reflect my commitment to quality, integrity, and the healing power of nature. Since creating both businesses, I have been featured in many publications.

I have been providing education at the largest spa conferences in the nation since 2017. My courses focus on cannabis massage, integrative wellness, and topical skincare applications, offering students real-world insights from the front lines of both healthcare and plant medicine. I believe in empowering practitioners to elevate their skills and their self-care, and I bring a deep respect for the healing potential of the human touch and the cannabis plant.

My teaching philosophy is simple: never stop learning. I’m honored to share what I’ve learned—and continue to learn—with others dedicated to growth, healing, and professional excellence.

Tara Furiani

Tara Furiani

What happens when you mix relentless drive, academic prowess, and an innate knack for reading people? You get Tara Furiani. She isn't just in the people business—she is the people business. With over two decades of transformative leadership under her belt, Tara shatters the conventional, often stodgy, paradigms of HR and corporate culture, bringing humanity back into the workplace.

Sporting dual Master's degrees in Psychology and Organizational Leadership, Tara's academic mettle is as rock-solid as her real-world chops. Her slew of advanced certifications isn't just for show; it’s her toolkit for crafting highly responsive, agile organizations. She’s been the mastermind behind multiple industry-defining shifts during her 13 years as a Chief People Officer for companies valued over $6 billion and employing more than 10,000 people worldwide.

But let's cut through the corporate jargon: Tara is a people champion. She fights for DEI not just as a buzzword but as a way of life, all the way from boardrooms on Earth to the realms of space, serving on NASA's DEI board. For Tara, equity isn't just a corporate initiative; it's a universal mandate.

Still think she’s all business? Think again. A mother of five and a doting partner, Tara knows the real-world application of work-life balance like no other. She's the driving force of her family and the beating heart of her home, roles she embraces with the same vigor as her corporate undertakings.

If you need further proof, lend an ear to her hit podcast, "Not the HR Lady," where she tackles the industry's stale narratives and offers fresh, often revolutionary, perspectives. And don't be fooled by the exec persona; she can drop a Dr. Dre lyric faster than you can say "organizational change."

When you partner with Tara Furiani, you’re not just getting a consultant or a thought leader. You’re aligning with a living, breathing catalyst for meaningful change—in your organization and in your life. Are you ready?
