TV Executive Nely Galan on Power, Money, and Finding Your Voice Jul 26, 2023

Show notes

It's not enough to be good to make an impact. My guest today says that you must also become rich and speak up.Entrepreneur and Television Executive Nely Galan speaks candidly about what it takes to make it as a successful woman in America.
Galan was forced to find her own voice at a young age. As a child immigrant from Cuba, she was thrown into an all-girls American school, forced to quickly learn English, and become the family interpreter. Her teachers told her to behave "like a lady", and her parents asked her tone it down because she was an immigrant. None of that felt natural or fair to Galan. As a teenager, she was falsely accused of plagiarizing an English assignment. The accusation outraged her so much that she submitted an article to Teen Magazine about why you should never send your daughter to an all-girls school. The school suspended her, of course, but the magazine hired her! That was the beginning of Nely Galan's unique voice.
By age 22 she was running the top Spanish language television station in New Jersey. At 25 she was hosting her own talk show. Soon after she launched her own production company and developed shows like The SWAN for the FOX network. She became the president of the Spanish Language television network Telemundo, and was even a contestant of NBC's Celebrity Apprentice with Donald Trump.Galan wrote the best-selling book "Self-Made", where she tells how she made it in Hollywood and what women should do to have power, money and be heard. Nely continues to advocate for women all over the world. She is the founder of the Adelante Foundation, which provides loans and education to entrepreneurial women all over the world.

How Art Can Change Your Life with Will Day Jun 07, 2023

Show notes

When we think of communicating we usually think of the spoken word. But what about Art?
Art can express feelings and ideas that we can’t verbalize.
Contemplating a painting or sculpture, or attending a dance recital can make us feel happy or sad—or both at the same time. It can open our senses and bring us to places we don’t have words to express.
My guest today is American Artist Will Day, known for his large-scale paintings and bold strokes.
Will’s passion for art began in high school, but he didn’t pursue it as a profession at first. An unfulfilling job on Wall Street and a graduate degree in architecture, made him realize that his true calling was painting.
His family was skeptical when he declared art was going to be his future. . . but 15 years later his success speaks for itself.
You can find his pieces all-over the world in private and public collections.
Will joins me to talk about how he communicates through art, how becoming an artist changed his life, and how it can change ours as well.
More on Will here.

Bo Seo is a 2 time World Debate Champion.
He is the former coach of the Harvard and the Australian National Debate Teams.

Bo says we need to restore confidence and faith in what disagreements can be.
Bo joins me to talk about the importance of being able to argue and explains how to have a good argument!
