THE132: Proving You Can Win Even With All The Cards Stacked Against You Nov 05, 2019

Show notes

Going from Section 8 Apartments to a Millionaire with a Side Hustle

Our guest today grew up in Section 8 Housing with a single mother, who found herself in one abusive relationship after another.

From those early days, Anna Kelley told herself she refuses to live like that when she is an adult.

As an adult, Anna set a goal where she can leave her full time corporate job, earn the cash needed to support herself and her family and stay home with her children.

After 16 years of grit and determination (and a side hustle that finally paid off) Anna was able to live her dream! She became a financially successful investor and retired from her corporate job.

Today, Anna is the founder of REImom, a real estate investment coaching and training platform that teaches others how to do exactly what she has accomplished.

This is a truly inspiring story from someone who had all the cards stacked against her. This is how she did it. And how you can too.

By the way, as you’ll hear, this interview took place during the inaugural PodMAX event. It’s a full day event created by On Air Brands for entrepreneurs and business people to get their message out in a big way by being interviewed and sitting down as a guest with some of the biggest podcasts in their industry.

THE131: How Persistence Led Two Powerful Individuals To Become One Powerful Couple Oct 31, 2019

Show notes

My guests today had every right to feel a bit nervous since they’ve never done anything like this before. This interview was the absolute first podcast interview Marco has ever given, and once we get going you truly wouldn’t know it.

I was immediately fascinated by their story. She is an entrepreneur and he is a Philadelphia Police Officer.

He always felt there was something more to life. And lucky for him, he found more. Much more.

Today, this power couple are the founders of Robin Hood Properties, a real estate investment company.

I mean it when I say this is one of the most charming stories and interviews I’ve ever conducted, evident at least through the story of how these two met. Trust me, if you appreciate a good love story, this is the episode for you.

And if you appreciate a story of grit, grace, desire and persistence in every pursuit of your life, this is also the episode for you.

With that, here are two of the most kind and beautiful people, both inside and out, that you will ever meet… Here’s my interview with Christine and Marco Padilla.

THE130: Focus On The Next Best Thing Instead of The Future Oct 29, 2019

Show notes

Our guest today is Managing Director of SheWorx (recently acquired by Republic), a collective of ambitious female entrepreneurs and change-makers redefining the next wave of leadership.

Meet Bianca Caban, born and raised in the Bronx, NY and of Puerto Rican descent. Her mom is a nurse and her dad is a civil rights attorney, and her family’s aspiration for proving themselves and building a stable financial future peeks through in her own career track.

Bianca started working on Wall Street at firms including Credit Suisse and BlackRock, which is where she got exposure to doing business in Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.

A professor once told her not to focus on the future (including 2-5 years from now), but instead to focus on the next best thing. Ask yourself: “What feels right for you to do next, immediately?”

Listen in to hear Bianca’s life lessons and choices that lead her to the extraordinary place she is today.

THE129: A Gymnast’s Journey From The Olympics and Hall of Fame To Not Feeling Good Enough Oct 24, 2019

Show notes

Our guest today discovered her first passion as a gymnast and built a decade long career reigning as a four time US National Champion, culminating in the 2008 Olympic Games and induction in the USA Hall of Fame.

As she found herself at the ultimate qualifier for her biggest dream of qualifying for the Olympic games, she felt the immense pressure to achieve and missed the win by a mere 0.25 tenths of a point!

This led to feelings of not being good enough, feelings that she didn’t work hard enough, and that she was not prepared enough. She asked herself how can she ever again feel great if she feels “not enough?”

Meet Lisa Wang.

Lisa then quickly found her path into business while knowing that the venture capital landscape is 94% male. She wanted to bring together a network of female founders who had enough of getting overlooked, ignored, undervalued, and assumed inferior.

Lisa founded SheWorx, which soon became acquired by Republic.

THE128: Learning To Adapt to All Change Quickly Oct 22, 2019

Show notes

Our guest today is an associate for the venture capital firm BNSG Capital.

At 15, he lost his father unexpectedly and his mother moved him and the family from Miami to Peru.

This lead to a chain of events that forced him to learn to adapt to change quickly.

Meet Elias Davis.

Elias embraces the fact that while can’t choose the cards you’re dealt in life, you can choose how to take action on those cards. And that’s all that matters.

Elias knows there is no such thing as a wrong decision, as long as you can learn from each one.

His current way of life? How to survive in any unpredictable environment by asking “What do I want to squeeze out of this experience to properly move forward?”

This episode was recorded as part of Podcast Row.

THE127: What To Do If It’s Not Working Oct 17, 2019

Show notes

How do you know exactly what type of content your ideal customer is most likely to enjoy? How do you create the most relevant content that will then turn that ideal prospect into an actual customer?

Meet Jim Caruso. Jim is the founder and CEO of Apollo Program, a proprietary consumer intelligence platform that listens to billions of data signals from a wide variety of content enabling brands to discover real customer behavior. These behavioral insights can be applied across an entire business, from product planning to marketing execution.

I had the good fortune to meet Jim and interview him during my second round at Podcast Row (the all day event connecting entrepreneurs with podcast hosts to record and share their stories).

THE126: Controlling How Your Personal and Business Message is Perceived Oct 15, 2019

Show notes

Rechelle Balanzat calls herself an artist, a thinker, and an entrepreneur. Specifically, she is the founder and CEO of Juliette, a premium laundry pick-up and delivery service that caters to busy professionals in New York City.

This interview should never have happened. It was part of my second round attending Podcast Row. Rechelle was a last minute fill in and we hit it off immediately.

We touch on deep subjects including:

~Seeking approval versus giving yourself approval.

~Standing out by standing up (being yourself)

~Differentiating yourself in a crowded market

THE125: Genuine Connection To Those Around You Does Not Have To Feel Scary Oct 10, 2019

Show notes

Having spent a lifetime feeling removed and disconnected from the world around me, I was excited to sit down with today’s guest. This episode is even more amazing since it took place at a live recording while we were at Podcast Movement (the world’s largest podcast industry conference)!

TalkShoe (an all-in-one podcasting platform) had a table at the event where you can use their equipment to record an episode and that’s exactly what I did.

My guest is known as the human connection expert. It’s Pablo Gonzalez. He has a deep desire to connect with people and build community, perhaps this was driven by the fact that he lived on 3 different continents by the age of 10, and was forced to learn how to communicate and connect across different languages and cultures in order to fit in at an early age.

Can you relate in your own way of feeling disconnected from those around you at some point in your life? This is your episode!

THE124: Stop Stopping The Unstoppable ~ A Comedic Take To Your Personal Development Oct 08, 2019

Show notes

Do you like comedy? Do you like personal development? How about getting a dose of both, mixing comedy with your personal development!

I never knew it was possible until my talk with Ross Everett (aka Dale Thorhammer). Ross is a performer, writer, comedian, and author of the book "Stop Stopping The Unstoppable!" If that title alone doesn’t spell it out.

Ross, to me, is a combo of Tony Robbins, Ricky Gervais, and Stephen Colbert. Ross performs his one-person show (of the same name of the book) in Los Angeles and around the country.

He takes a comedic, light-hearted look at the personal development industry while remaining respectful. Whether you are here for the comedy, or the personal development, or both, you are sure going to enjoy this discussion.

THE123: Finding Meaning and Power From The Darkness Oct 03, 2019

Show notes

Enjoy this episode from our ongoing series from our time at Podcast Row.

Our guest today is the author of the book Undying Optimism. It’s a book detailing the path of giving meaning to your life and finding your power from the darkness.

Have you ever asked yourself and sat with the question “What have you found to be most meaningful in your life?”

Meet JV Bharathan. He found himself in an arranged marriage with no real purpose or direction in his life. He made the difficult choice to leave that marriage (something that was otherwise unheard of in his community) and this decision landed him in jail.

From there, he became bankrupt and homeless. Only until more adversity hit him like a ton of bricks, as he puts it, with the birth of his new son, did he decide to turn things around for the better.
