Be the person you needed when you were struggling.
In 2013 My guest found herself inside the walls of the same jail cell she’d been released from over 20 years before.
After much introspection and a chat with God, she realized the error of HER ways. She began to understand that her life had been a training ground, that all of her experiences and her survival would serve as HOPE to women who had survived the same but not yet claimed VICTORY.
She was given the Divine assignment to “be the woman you needed” while homeless and addicted, to start a program that would bring help and comfort to other women who are caught in the same cycle of homelessness, abuse, and addiction with which she was so familiar.
Her ministry, begun with prayer, a few pairs of flip-flops, and a case of water, now reaches hundreds of homeless and underprivileged people in Poughkeepsie every week.

We all know that the world isn't always fair. Sometimes people get ahead in life because they were born into a wealthy family or they just seem to have all the right connections. It can feel like the deck is stacked against us and that we'll never catch a break.

But what if the world could be fair for everyone? What if we all had an equal chance to succeed? It may seem like a pie-in-the-sky dream, but it is possible.

We just need to level the playing field so that everyone has a fair shot.

Dr. William Bassett is a firm believer that all the choices we make, the actions we take, and the things we decide should be done with the well-being of everyone in mind, as what we do affects many people, not just us.

Having gone into education at first, he served in the U.S. Navy for three years before returning to Indiana to get his Doctorate in School Administration. After this, he would embark on a 25-year journey in the education field, retiring as a District Superintendent.

Through his father, Dr. Bassett became involved with the Wallkill East Rotary Club, where he is now a charter member after 40 years of involvement.

You can choose to see every experience as an opportunity to learn and grow, or you can choose to see it as a setback. It's all up to you. You are the only one who can decide how you want to interpret your experiences.

Some people might say that certain experiences are automatically bad, like getting fired from a job. But even that experience can be seen positively if you choose to see it that way.

You never know what is ahead, only what we have at the moment, so our outlook is what determines how we live our lives.

Building a business that stands apart from the rest takes creativity and imagination. It also takes a community.

Building trust with your competition is important for growth - especially when you’re not the only company of your kind in your area.

It can actually be an opportunity!

Business ownership doesn’t need to be all about beating your competitors.

Ryan Scott is the Owner of Pro Printers, a second-generation, family-owned, printing company. He works with all types of businesses and through his experience, he has a ton of valuable tips and information to share.

One of my favorite quotes from Ryan during this episode is “make your business a piece of art.” While there are so many other businesses like yours out there, it's the art of your business that truly makes it stand apart.

Disrupt your industry by building for the long-term.

When other businesses said no, Amthor International said yes - opening doors and providing products that others wouldn’t touch.

Amthor International began by building their own machinery as Amthor’s Blacksmith Shop in 1928 and now they’re the largest business in their industry.

Brian Amthor, Executive Vice President, talks with me about the special amount of pride that comes with building your own - something with your family’s name. Something you’ve built with determination and perseverance.

But you’ve got to build the right team.

The right team will help you be successful - especially if you can fit the right people to the right position. This way your team works like a team truly should - playing to everyones strengths.

Brian spent some time after graduating Marist pursuing his own path. During this time he was able to see what it was like to have a boss who wasn’t his parent. Now, he brings that foundation into his management style.

Gain insights on family business and how to disrupt your industry in this episode.

Brian says, running a business is like a marriage. You don’t run the business, the business runs you - you become the business. You feel everything that happens and it effects you.

Introducing Heather Howley, Owner of Independent Helicopters.

Why would she pay someone else to fly her around if she could do it herself?

Her first helicopter ride was “love at first flight.” Knowing that only 6% of all aviators are women was not going to stop her from achieving her goal.

Heather’s team is most important to her success. From the employees to the outside team including lawyers, accountants, HR, and mentors, it’s all key to growing a successful business.

Community leader and social media guru, Ramon Piniero joins me in the studio!

“Maybe we can do something different.”

Rather than looking at other small businesses as competition, Ramon developed a community where small businesses would “open their doors to each other” by harnessing the potential of social media.

Founder of “I Love Local Rewards” and CEO of CE Avengers, Ramon is a true altruistic entrepreneur with a passion for helping small businesses.

As a kid from the Bronx with a very large and very close family, he saw an opportunity to create a similar bond for Hudson Valley small businesses where they could connect, support, and thrive - together.

Deirdre is the CEO and founder of Hudson Valley Web Girl. We talk about how her upbringing in the Bronx and going to private school in Manhattan taught her to have tough skin.

Her hard work led her to take a promotions position in the studio we record at (shout out to iHeart Media)! They saw so much potential in her they allowed her to create a position that suited her.

From there, she worked her way up to Digital Content Director and was offered a full-time position days after graduation.

Her ability to make connections within her community gave her the tools to become the CEO of her own company.

Listen in and be inspired. And as always, stay happy, stay healthy, and follow your dreams!

Leading the Healthcare and Tech Industry
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Another favorite: "The harder you work, the luckier you get."
