Joe and I crossed paths in 2021 as though it were fated for us to meet.  He is a Business & Life coach who is passionately committed to helping others get crystal clear on what they want in their business and their life.  In the past, Joe worked as a practicing Labor & Employment Law Attorney and litigator, a Human Resources Manager and has over 18 years as a Certified Financial Planner and Financial Coach.

Anna is my “home girl”. Imagine two women in comfy pjs, ugly crying over our struggles while eating take out Chinese food on our bed in grad school. We’re that close. We have a raw conversation on this episode about how she navigated the corporate ladder even though she was treated like an “other. You will hear about what she leaned about not giving up.

I met Damon during the chili cookoff at the Houston Tech Rodeo.  What started as a discussion over which team made the best chili, turned into a conversation that lasted a few hours.  We spoke on our perspectives on how to navigate challenges, the importance of your circle of influence and why failure is not something to be avoided if you want to achieve any level of success.  There was not enough time that day for us to complete the conversation, so he agreed to come on my show so we can pick up where we left off.

Hanifa is one of those women who carries a quiet elegance about her. There is a sharpness to her gaze that makes you feel as though she is listening to your soul. This mother of four not only went back to law school, but she followed that by completing an MBA afterwards. She defied the path laid down for her to pursue what gave her joy. Listen to find out how she navigated that to become who she is today

Andy Goldstrom is a good friend of mine. He is also an accomplished entrepreneur, business coach, parent coach and family man.However, Andy had a rough start as a young boy. His parents were divorced when he was 12, so he was forced to learn how to be independent, both emotionally and financially. So, it shouldn’t be a surprise Andy pursued his own business ventures early in his career

When I first met Kevin, I thought that he was at least 20 years younger than he actually is.  He has the energy and vigor of a young man in his prime.  His daily regimen is one that even many 30 year olds struggle to do in one week! Kevin Mayer joins me to talk about his journey over 30 years.  Listen to him tell the story about driving himself to the ER with a damaged spleen and then going to the gym after.  What keeps him going?  Is he doing “too much” at 63 years?  Will he slow down?  

Diane and I met in NYC 18 years ago.  She is one of those people who, when she walks into a room, you take an instant liking to her.  She exudes a warmth that resonates through her being and the way she interacts with you.  It is no surprise that she is highly sought after by top performers and professionals around the world.  She does not work with you to fix your voice… she helps you unleash what was always there by connecting you with your body, mind and spirit.

When I first met Marc, he walked into the classroom wearing jeans and a polo shirt and BIG energy!  This was not the stodgy old boring professor I pictured in my mind. He was and is nothing of the sort.  He brought a level of excitement to his class that is still memorable even today.  Yet, you will listen to Marc’s journey over the years and the struggle he had as a budding professor.  He almost quit, was broke and had a wife and newborn to take care of.  Was he a success because he had a “prestigious job” but was flat broke?  How did his journey and definition of success change over his 28 year career?
