Episode #154: Leaving behind a stable corporate finance career was no small feat, but the passing of my mother pushed me to reevaluate what truly mattered. My conversation with the dynamic Kiki Garcia from "Magic Mornings with Kiki Garcia" was not just an exploration of my journey but a testament to the power of authenticity and resilience. We discuss how I transitioned into launching Iconic Nation Media, driven by a desire to empower others through their voices. This episode is a heartfelt invitation to anyone feeling stuck or hesitant to follow their dreams, underscoring the profound transformation that comes from pursuing joy and passion.

Our chat sheds light on the often-unspoken truth that no one has life entirely figured out, as I recount experiences from Radio Row at the Super Bowl. It’s an empowering reminder to lean into uncertainty and embrace risk. Together, Kiki and I tackle the issue of women underestimating their achievements and the necessity of giving oneself due credit. Drawing from personal experiences in male-dominated spaces, we emphasize the power of collaboration over competition. It's a call to arms for women to support and uplift each other, recognizing that collective strength can shatter ceilings and redefine success.

The episode wraps up by focusing on the impact of living authentically and using one's voice purposefully. We highlight manifestation and visualization as pivotal tools for achieving personal growth and breaking free from self-imposed limitations. Sharing my own story of evolving from a behind-the-scenes role to a CEO and podcast host, we encourage listeners to challenge narratives that keep them small. Our conversation closes with gratitude and inspiration, urging you to connect with us and share your thoughts. The journey of pushing past fear and embracing one’s potential is one we hope you’ll join us on.

Episode #151: Fresh off the whirlwind of a 16-day spring break adventure with my kids, I’ve emerged with a treasure trove of travel insights that promise to transform your family vacation experiences. Picture this: a last-minute decision to head to the JW Marriott Desert Springs in Phoenix, a hotel that came highly recommended by a friend. In navigating the chaos of high-season travel and family logistics, I've discovered that sometimes, cutting a trip short can actually enhance the joy and leave everyone wanting more. My years of globetrotting as a management consultant have truly shaped my approach to making family travel less about stress and more about seamless fun.

Our stay at the luxury hotel was a blend of opulence and a few quirky setbacks. Imagine arriving at a vast multi-wing property, only to be greeted by the scent of smoke and a missing concierge. Yet, the allure of an upgraded suite and the joy it brought to my family of five quickly overshadowed these hiccups. With a lazy river and several pools, the hotel was a haven for our kids, even as we tackled the challenges of managing a toddler who needed floaties. From mastering the art of carrying large rafts on water slides to embracing the minor logistics of kid-friendly travel, there was plenty of fun to be had and stories to share.

This episode is more than just tales of poolside escapades. Join me as I recount memorable moments like a spontaneous airport lounge upgrade and a kind stranger’s compliment that moved me to tears.
