I'm with Renee Mustered, the founder of The Vilomah App, in this powerful Wake up New York City episode of The Rhonda Swan Show. The Vilomah App was born from a profound personal loss, Renee has transformed her journey through grief into a mission to ensure no one has to navigate the "natural order" of loss alone. Renee, who has devoted 23 years to helping others as a licensed massage therapist, shares the story of her eldest son, TJ, whose legacy now lives on through the app. The word "Vilomah" means "against the natural order," a term Renee embraced after discovering there was no word in the English dictionary for a parent who has lost a child.

Filmed in Wall Street, Renee discusses the emotional experience of seeing The Vilomah App featured on a Times Square billboard and the moving signs she receives daily that led her to this moment. The episode dives deep into the app's "Angel Support" feature, a 24/7 AI companion trained on grief recovery and personal development to provide comfort and connection. Renee also explains the app's holistic healing toolkit, which offers a "Daily Release" featuring EFT tapping, yoga, and breathwork, alongside professional education in grief recovery and specialized Daily, Angel, and Gratitude journals.

In this episode of The Rhonda Swan Show: Wake Up New York City, Rhonda sits down with Ben Reinberg, CEO of Alliance Consolidated Group of Companies, to expose a silent threat to your business: licensing non-compliance. With over 32 years of experience in commercial real estate, Ben breaks down why staying ahead of municipal, county, and state requirements is the only way to bulletproof your business and investments. Ignoring the paperwork is not just a headache; it is a major liability.

There are several critical risks you need to understand. First, personal liability is a major concern, as failing to maintain proper licensing can pierce the corporate veil and put your personal assets at risk for business issues. Second, insurance denials can occur, with many providers refusing to honor claims if your business or LLC is not 100% up to date. Third, non-compliance can trigger defaults on your loan covenants, potentially jeopardizing your financing. Fourth, municipalities have the absolute power to halt your operations or shut your doors entirely if you are not compliant. Finally, you face vendor exposure, where the legal and financial burden often falls on you as the consumer if your contractors are not properly vetted and compliant.

To solve this, Ben and his team at Alliance have developed a proprietary platform designed to simplify the complex world of regulatory compliance. Through this platform, you can identify gaps by pinpointing exactly which licenses are required for your specific industry and location. You can also see the law by instantly viewing the specific ordinances that apply to your EIN and property address. Furthermore, you can take action by seamlessly renewing expired permits or establishing new ones directly through the platform.

Do not wait for a red flag from the city to check your compliance status. Tune in to hear how you can proactively secure your assets and scale with confidence.
