In this episode, I talk with Fatima and Erika about their establishment and running of Academia FE dance studio in the city of Lynwood. While they are young they are very active and are willing to do what is necessary to fill a void. The creation of their dance studio was destiny, as their relationship came full circle when they met up in college. They knew it will be difficult but if destiny is calling why not take the call.

Hello friends, in this episode I discuss the madness that comes with every task. Any endeavor you take up on will have some level of madness. What you have to ask yourself is that, if you are willing to take on that madness? We all have different limits of how much "crazy" we desire in our lives, but that almost goes hand in hand with new endeavor; specially those that are in an entirely new field. Take a listen to understand what it takes to accept the madness.

In this episode, we discuss the task of managing your business. Not in the way you should do thing a, b, and c, but in the total contribution of your time and money. The perfect scenario may be where you don't have to show up for your business, but that's not always the case and if it comes down to happening, one will have to put in place systems. However much one decides to be part of their business, it is totally on them.

Hello, in this episode we discuss the reason and ask the questions of what we do what we do. We are all different and for that reason some of us don't know if that is right. For some being different is a crime, while others embrace it. What is normal for you does not mean it's the same for others. We talk about how to discover what is right and how to ask yourself the right questions to get the information you need.

In this episode, I discuss the what I saw in a restaurant that I volunteered in. It was a lot that I didn't know about the restaurant industry. Its chaotic. Its stressful. It's a high. Restaurants play a huge part into our lives and community but some are being hurt more than others. A big shift in the restaurant industry has been occurring, from employee retention to a 360 customer experience.

Listen to the episode to grab my take on what it really takes and how to settle for better outcomes.

Interview is in Spanish<----
Invitada y propietaria de Paws in Motion DB, Dulce Berrelleza, comparte su historia de triunfo. Este negocio nacido de una pandemia se creó a partir de la esperanza y la fe. A pesar de no conocer completamente el modelo de negocio, sabía que se podía lograr creyendo en su fe. Su pasión por los animales se remonta a su infancia y, sin saberlo, volvería para servir a sus "bebés peludos". Ella cree firmemente en la adopción de una mascota, ya que su experiencia previa en el refugio de animales le ha permitido presenciar la etapa crítica de la ocupación de animales allí.
Guest and owner of Paws in Motion DB, Dulce Berrelleza, shares her triumph story. This pandemic born business was created out of hope and believe. In spite of not knowing fully the business model, she knew it could be accomplished by believing in her faith. Her passion for animals goes far back into her childhood, and not knowingly, she will come back around to serve her "fur babies". She is a great believer in adopting a pet as her previous experience in the animal shelter has allowed her to witness the critical stage of animal occupancy there.

Here we have 2 interviews from Veecon 2023. A lot of great people there. Picked the brain from many there. A very fun and knowledgable event.
The first interview is with Hass Jomaa representing Big Moss Kitchen from Michigan. A brief interview about what it takes to handle many things at once and the restaurant industry. He is also involved in a podcast, NFT project, and record label Wealthy.
The second interview was with Michael Kwow co-owner of Electric Escape from Toronto. A brief interview about the music event industry and how he ties it back to his real estate business. He is also involved in U4ria Fest.
It was a pleasure to meet them.

This episode I discuss what I learned from the speakers at VeeCon. While I met a lot of people there this is mostly of the panel of speakers. The environment was great just as the people who attended. A lot of great speakers that I was interested in and I was able to catch a few in the tight schedule. Regardless of the cost, see what its right for you to reach new people and new heights in your business and career. I hope this information is helpful and insightful. I simply want to share the best parts I picked up from the experience. Love y'all
