Jake Rosenberg is a successful serial entrepreneur who has excelled in ventures ranging from software, investments, to fashion.

Elliot has been running businesses since the age of 20. He helped set up a local soccer school in Bournemouth and managed to grow it into the number 1 regional coaching program.

Since 2019, Elliot has been involved in Chapman Capital and various other ventures.
Dominic’s entrepreneurial journey began when he became head of innovation at Specsavers at the age of 19. He built one of the healthcare apps still used in stores today before starting his first two businesses, a design agency, and a clothing brand. Dominic launched Stemx, a tech platform in the recruitment space, and raised £400k from angel investors. The platform ran over 10,000 video interviews in 10 countries. Since 2019, Dominic has been involved in Chapman Capital, Social Chaps, Speak on Podcasts, FKC London, Low & Behold, and Agencyfinance.io.

Ken Paskins, Founder of GCE Strategic Consulting and The Shift Spot™, is an accomplished CEO / COO and Executive Coach. He brings a broad range of leadership experience, including operations, sales, acquisitions, strategic planning, and P&L management (up to $500M) while leading teams north of 400+ people across North America and Europe for Fortune 100 companies such as Oracle.
Raised in Noblesville, Indiana, and a graduate of Purdue University, Ken grew up in a “hope and pray” entrepreneurial family--meaning that his family lived in either a boom or bust state depending on which idea “made it” and which one ended up with the lights being turned off. He watched his father and grandfather try to make businesses work while learning on the job, and not having the experience needed to truly know how to run a successful business, so he decided there had to be a better way and worked his way up the corporate ladder learning the skills needed to run a business the right way.
Over the course of 3 decades, Ken has utilized his skills and experiences and is known as a “hired gun” or fractional COO, helping companies from pre-revenue to $50M. His clients include HVAC, accounting firms, legal practices, software companies, etc. Additionally, he has experience in PE, VC (including Sequoia) and M&A. One of his most notable accomplishments included closing a $40M+ software deal days after the tragedy of 9/11. He has leveraged his 30-year knowledge base to be able to help other business owners to work on the business instead of in the business at The Shift Spot™.

For 35+ years, Pamela Wilson has worked closely with some of the fastest-growing small businesses in the United States.
She’s the author of two popular books on content marketing, Master Content Marketing and Master Content Strategy. Second editions of each are coming in October 2023, and we’ll talk about why she's updating them now.

Be sure to download Pamela's FREE Guide - How to Build Your Business Online. As well as her free worksheet, How to Create an Eye-opening Ideal Customer Profile.
During our discussion of AI, Pamela gave advice on how to best formulate a request from a chatbot like ChatGPT. (1) State the role of the Chat (expert marketer, famous poet, etc...), (2) state the goal of your article, and (3) ask if there is any additional information the chatbot needs to create a great article. You will be shocked how well this improves your results!

As the host of the Simplifying Entrepreneurship podcast as well as a former radio host, Pete Mohr understands podcasting and delivering the most out of an interview. You'll be able to bring as much value from the conversation to your audience as possible.
As a Business Made Simple Certified coach, Pete can talk to your audience in general terms or take it down into specific actionable chunks in order for them to get to work on the topic right after the podcast.
Having been a guest on over 75 podcasts in the past year, he is ready and equipped to handle most questions and styles of interviews.
Along with his Simplifying Entrepreneurship coaching business, Pete owns a couple of footwear stores called Shoetopia in Ontario. He's putting the tools and frameworks he speaks to within his own businesses...it's not just theory!
As a former business broker, Pete helped people buy and sell businesses and now uses that background in helping business owners create turn-key businesses so that they can enjoy the freedoms that entrepreneurship can deliver.
He strongly believes that business owners deserve to live the life that they want and spend the majority of their time working "on" their businesses, not "in" them.
Pete's specialty is creating and explaining frameworks that simplify leadership, strategy and communication across the business. With over 25 different tools to discuss, there's never a lack of great conversation on how to move your business forward!

While working as a gas controller in corporate America for TransCanada in Houston, Chad Price discovered that corporate America wasn’t sustainable for him long term and he wanted to start his own business. Seeing the inner workings of a large corporation gave him the impetus to start his own e-commerce focused business. Along with two partners, they narrowed down their product list and settled on kettlebells. At the time, it wasn’t a known space but was a growing market. He desired to build kettlebells as the centerpiece of a health and wellness community and started the first BIPOC owned Kettlebell company, “Kettlebell Kings” which is like the ESPN of the kettlebell world; a place to foster a community of people using kettlebells as the centerpiece of fitness; take everyone's content alongside their uniquely created content and display it in a way that's easy for people to consume and feel part of a community.
In business, he can be as competitive as he wants and not worry like he did on the sports field, when he was at Rice University.
After ten years, Chad’s first venture Kettlebell Kings was acquired by Razor Group for millions of dollars.
He then went on to create and start “Life Grows Green” as a side project that he started as a result of negative images and culture around hemp plants. Being a big believer in natural and green products which is naturally encompassed in Hemp, he tried to make products just from natural based products. Products include CBD related capsules, oils, tinctures, salves, peanut butter, honey, melatonin and protein powder and LGG has made them available direct to the online consumer.
Chad continues his commitment to fitness, health and wellness and makes sure to travel extensively and spend time with his family. In addition to listening to the episode, you can watch a video of their discussion on our YouTube Channel. And be sure to subscribe to support the podcast!

Mike Kaeding is the CEO of Norhart. Norhart designs, builds, and rents apartments. They are transforming the way apartments are built and managed by incorporating technologies and efficiencies that have revolutionized other industries, and lead to high-quality, cost-effective projects.
Mike’s parents started their family business. But just a few years after joining the business, Mike’s father unexpectedly passed away. Suddenly, Mike had what felt like the weight of the world on his shoulders. He had to lead this business with no preconceived notion of "the way things are done" in this industry. He was struggling to the point where the city briefly shut him down. This shattered his world. Norhart just naively started to solve problems after that incident. And that led to magic.
Norhart began changing the way construction is done. Starting with an attractive culture unique to the construction industry they hired the best talent. Together Norhart solved chronic construction inefficiencies, applied techniques from manufacturing, and integrated traditionally unaffiliated trades. This resulted in higher quality and lower cost projects.
Norhart’s mission is to solve America’s housing shortage by transforming the way apartments are built and managed. And in doing so we will improve the way we all live.

Chris Myles (AKA Benji's Dad) started blogging and investing in content sites in 2015, and within a few months, quit his job to blog full-time.
It all started when his son, Benji, was born. Chris needed to earn a 2nd income so his wife could provide "mommy-care" rather than "day-care".
“It wasn't an easy journey, but today, I get to do all the cool things like take my son to school every day. Be home and ready to play when he is. And I'm not missing out on him growing up by behind a desk for 15 hours a day.”
He shares most of his thoughts and blogging success story interviews in the Blogger Evolution Niche Site Podcast.

Tom Kulzer is the founder and Chief Executive Officer at AWeber, the leading email marketing and automation platform for small businesses, where he is actively involved in the company’s strategic direction, growth and evolution. Over the company’s 24-year history, Tom has nurtured AWeber from a small start-up to a robust organization, that has enabled over 1 million customers to grow their businesses, all without public or venture funding.
Tom laid the foundation for AWeber while working at a computer hardware firm in the mid-1990s, where he realized sales prospects were falling through the cracks due to lack of proper follow up. By automating the delivery of personalized follow up emails to prospects, company-wide sales skyrocketed, and sales associates had additional time to spend pursuing new prospects.

Steven Wilcox is a graduate of Chapman University in Orange County, California.

Jason Azevedo has had his heart in business development since an early age, starting a very successful apparel company that grew from humble garage beginnings to annual gross billings of over a million dollars.
In 2009, Jason co-founded Advoque, taking on the role of CEO — his talents are far beyond running the company, with duties touching conceptual development, engineering, and deployment. Since 2009, Jason’s been at the helm of growing the company year-over-year, acquiring several entities, and creating several others to round out manufacturing efforts. His emphasis on Made In America is a driving force for how the various companies he’s co-founded operate. He also assists with business development and client strategy and is an integral part of how we operate. Jason has worked on many key projects for companies such as Arista Networks, Best Buy, Costco, Disney, EA Games, Intel, Roku, Starbucks, Target, WalMart, and Warner Bros.

For Jack McNamara, coin collecting is more than just a hobby --- it runs in his blood. Jack’s great-great grandfather Charles Enders, Jr. was a coin dealer from New York City. At just five years old, he was introduced to the hobby of coin collecting with Lincoln wheatback pennies from his grandfather.
McNamara had a coin collecting album with spaces for cent pieces with different dates and mintmarks. He was introduced to the world of numismatics.
By the time Jack graduated from Rutgers University, coin collecting had become a hobby --- but nothing more. He had an eclectic collection that included colonial coins, especially those from New Jersey, where he grew up. While working at an insurance company, he realized he wanted to turn his hobby into a profession. He made a list of coins to sell and advertised them in “Coin World.”
McNamara was hired by Larry Stack, of the third-generation of coin sellers who founded Stack’s Auction House in New York, Jack organized the coins for auctions, wrote descriptions, helped acquire coins, traveled to pick up collections and more. At Stack’s, Jack handled one of the rarest coins he had ever seen. It was an 1894-S Barber Dime --- a million-dollar coin.
After working at Stack’s for 7 years, Jack saw an opportunity to work as a coin buyer in California. Shortly after that, he met Rick Tomaska and together started Rare Collectibles TV in 2014. Working with Private Advisory Coin Team collectors, Jack enjoys the hunt for rare numismatics.
He did not anticipate appearing on television. At first, he was nervous, awkward and uncomfortable. Today, McNamara has polished his presentation techniques and brings life to some of the rarest and finest coins seen on Rare Collectibles TV.
McNamara is a member of the Professional Numismatists Guild and a life member of the American Numismatic Association. He is a contributor to the Red Book of US Coins, “A Guide Book to United States Coins.”
A graduate of Rutgers University, he holds a B.A. in both Psychology and Sociology. McNamara is married and the father of a son and a daughter.
Rare Collectibles TV (RCTV) specializes in marketing to the coin and collectibles connoisseur. The goal is to introduce rare, interesting and historical items to consumers. It is with this core belief in mind that RCTV was founded in 2014. Based in California, RCTV works tirelessly with its numismatic network in order to ensure that collectors receive only the highest caliber coins, regardless of location.

Bob Burg shares how a subtle shift in focus in not only a more uplifting and fulfilling way of conducting business but the most financially profitable way, as well. For 30 years he’s helped companies, sales leaders, and their teams to more effectively communicate their value, sell at higher prices with less resistance, and grow their businesses based on Endless Referrals.
Bob joins Mitch from his home in Jupiter, Florida to discuss his business philosophy and some of the many lessons of his Go Giver book series.
Bob regularly addresses audiences ranging in size from 50 to 16,000 — sharing the platform with notables including today’s top thought leaders, broadcast personalities, Olympic athletes and political leaders including a former United States President.
Although for years he was best known for his book Endless Referrals, over the past few years it’s his business parable, The Go-Giver (coauthored with John David Mann) that has captured the imagination of his readers. Other books in the series include Go-Givers Sell More, The Go-Giver Leader, and The Go-Giver Influencer.
In addition to listening to the episode, you can watch a video of their discussion on our YouTube Channel. And be sure to subscribe to support the podcast!
The Go-Giver, a Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek Bestseller, has sold over 950,000 copies. Since its release it has consistently stayed in the Top 25 on Porchlight’s (formerly 800-CEO-READ) Business Book Bestsellers List. The book has been translated into 28 languages. It was rated #10 on Inc. Magazine’s list of the Most Motivational Books Ever Written, and was on HubSpot’s 20 Most Highly Rated Sales Books of All Time.
Bob is the author of a number of books on sales, marketing and influence, with total book sales approaching two million copies.
The American Management Association named Bob one of the 30 Most Influential Leaders and he was named one of the Top 200 Most Influential Authors in the World by Richtopia.
Bob is an advocate, supporter and defender of the Free Enterprise system, believing that the amount of money one makes is directly proportional to how many people they serve.
You can connect with Bob and learn more about him at burg.com.

This is a re-release and a compilation of our first two episodes where I interviewed Jack Killion to share his story and his knowledge about entrepreneurship and networking. Jack died on November 5, 2021 leaving behind his wife, son, daughter-in-law and one grandchild. His passing leaves a void in both his family and the entrepreneurial community worldwide.
I believe its important to continue to share Jack's story and his knowledge, advice and guidance. To my friend, mentor and advisor, I miss you dearly.
To learn more from Jack, purchase his book, Network All The Time, from Amazon.

Lisa Laporte has worked as a Corporate Controller, CFO, Consultant, CEO, and Founder in a range of organizations, with a focus on startups, for over thirty years.

Allia Mohamed is the co-founder and CEO of Openigloo, a website and app that connects renters with highly-rated landlords. Launched in 2020, Openigloo is on a mission to bring transparency to rental markets and support tenants throughout their housing journey.
The fast growing startup combines vetted reviews from residents and public records to give NYC apartment hunters vital intel such as how much rents went up, heating complaints, and bedbug violations Like "Yelp for renters," but with carefully moderated and monitored resident reviews, Openigloo has more than 200,000 users and 20,000-plus reviews across 15,000 buildings in New York. Openigloo has attracted a diverse group of global technology professionals to its growing team of eight.
Allia’s idea for Openigloo was born as a frustrated renter having challenges finding the right apartment and dealing with housing problems that went unsolved (heating and water issues, smoke, etc.). A common frustration many renters face in NYC and around the country.
Instead of racing from apartment to apartment and making speed and price the priority, she focused on research and using public housing data and renters’ feedback to find her next, perfect apartment.
"I was standing outside of buildings talking to people walking in and out to ask them, 'How do you like living here?'" Mohamed, who started to envision a website that made this information easily accessible, said. "Could we crowdsource this data? Could we get people to share their experiences and combine it with city data to provide this background?"
Allia was named one of the top rising stars in real estate by Insider and Openigloo is one of the Top 100 apps in the Lifestyle Chart in App Store!
Prior to founding Openigloo, Allia was a Venture Capitalist at Trend Forward Capital where she advised the firm’s global portfolio companies on their growth strategies. Prior to that, she worked in Capital Markets on Wall Street at Scotiabank and Seven Seas Capital. Allia holds degrees from Columbia and the Canadian business university Dalhousie.

Edgar Blazona is a modernist American furniture designer and founder of the wildly popular DTC sofa brand BenchMade Modern. A high school dropout, turned graffiti artist, turned serial entrepreneur, Edgar got his start in the furniture industry because of need: he was young and broke, and his first apartment didn’t have any furniture. Thus, he taught himself how to build some.
Along with starting several of his own companies, including Modular Dwellings – a prefab backyard shelter company, Edgar also sharpened his skills in the corporate world at Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware. As he saw customers accustomed to waiting three months (and more!) for sofas and sectionals that realistically take only a few weeks to make, he realized there must be a better way and founded BenchMade Modern in 2015 to disrupt this norm.
BenchMade Modern offers sofas and sectionals in 5 foot increments and custom configurations, depths, fabrics and more. Custom furniture arrives at your doorstep within weeks, not months.

R.T. Custer grew up on a Christmas Tree Farm in Reading, PA. The farm was always the side-hustle for the family, but he learned to be an entrepreneur from his grandfather and his parents. After getting his degree in industrial engineering from Penn State University, he moved to Fort Collins for a job with Walmart Logistics.
After a couple of years, his side hustle at the time, Vortic Watch Company, had really taken off and he went full time in 2016. He now runs the company and has five employees and also owns three other businesses in Fort Collins, mostly in consumer goods manufacturing and marketing services. He is motivated not only by his own success but by assisting others to succeed. His true passion is in marketing for physical products online. He has four different businesses, a girlfriend, two little kids, real-estate investments, and over 10 employees across all of his companies. He works hard and tries to do everything with a high level of quality and integrity. His drive comes from his relentless pursuit of legacy wealth for his family as well as his desire to help others and ultimately see his team and businesses win. R.T. was sued by the world’s largest watch company in 2015. Six years later, he’s finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. It’s been a challenge to build a business with a massive federal lawsuit in the curtains but the law is on their side. They’re fighting hard to protect their American Dream.

Richard Squires is the Owner of LifeStory Memoir, in which he writes people’s memoirs in their own words, creating a legacy that families will cherish for generations.
Richard is a writer, writing instructor, and family man who loves stories of all kinds. His love of stories began with the movies, which he devoured with his film-buff father starting at an early age. An avid reader, filmgoer, and creative writer through high school, Richard decided in college to major in English literature and writing, with a minor in Film.
After working in the film industry after college, including gigs with Woody Allen and Merchant Ivory, Richard worked for a while in publishing, and then decided to earn his first master’s degree in writing. In the years that followed, Richard found great success and pleasure as a high school teacher, tutor, college writing professor, and writer in corporate communications, reporting on technology tools and employee successes, mostly for pharmaceutical and finance companies.
But his heart really lay in creative writing, so in 2012, Richard began his MFA program with a concentration in fiction, which is where he honed the writing skills he employs to write memoirs at LifeStory today.
In addition to listening to the episode, you can watch a video of their discussion on our YouTube Channel. And be sure to subscribe to support the podcast!
Growing up, Richard’s close-knit family loved to tell stories, but there was one story that his grandfather told that Richard always found most gripping. When Richard’s grandfather was eighteen years old during WWII, he enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Force, and became a pilot flying B17 fighter planes in the Pacific.
During some missions, the enemy launched projectiles from the ground below that exploded and sent out flak, shards of metal, that would rip apart the planes. During one battle, the flak ripped off the floor of Richard’s grandfather’s plane. Pieces went into his leg, creating raised scars that Richard marveled at as a young boy. Flak also went into his co-pilot’s head, which killed him.
To save his own life, Richard’s grandfather had to bail out and parachute down into the ocean. Surrounded by sharks, he and other soldiers held on for dear life to their radio flotation devices, which they called Mae West after the famous actress. Thankfully, the soldiers were picked up before the sharks attacked, and my grandfather lived to be able to share his story.
In 2015, Richard’s grandfather asked him to write his memoir, which Richard completed when his grandfather was in the last stage of life. The experience was so fulfilling that Richard was inspired to create LifeStory, the perfect union between his passion for writing and storytelling with his love of family and history.
Since then, Richard has written dozens of books for families celebrating their loved ones’ fascinating lives. Clients include Holocaust survivors, war veterans, immigrants, business moguls, doctors, a baker, a film director, activists, Foreign Service officers, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, spouses, children, and more.
Richard is always delighted to speak with anybody who may be considering creating a memoir for themselves or a loved one, or even for an entire family or business.

Bryan Rhode always knew growing up that he wanted to serve in the military after college. The son of a Navy pilot and the grandson of Army veterans, it seemed only natural. Bryan attended Penn State University on a Navy ROTC scholarship and graduated 1st in his class at Marine Officer Candidate School. He served for four years in the Marine Corps infantry, deploying overseas twice.
After his military service, Bryan struck out in a new direction, attending law school at the University of Virginia. He then studied public policy at the London School of Economics and enjoyed traveling extensively in Europe. Upon his return to the States, Bryan practiced corporate law with a large firm before finding a love for the courtroom as a prosecutor.
Having served several years as a prosecutor, Bryan then moved on to successive high-level state government positions, including Secretary of Public Safety for the Commonwealth of Virginia, a gubernatorial cabinet post. Bryan has always been involved in civic affairs, serving as a Rotarian, a board member for several local non-profits, and various leadership positions with the Bar and veterans’ organizations. Bryan was featured in a local style magazine’s annual Top 40 Under 40 issue.
Bryan eventually returned to the private sector as a Vice President for a Fortune 300 company, where he served in government affairs, as the company’s internal auditor, and then as VP of Public Safety. Bryan is a graduate of a Harvard Executive Program, the Virginia Executive Institute, the Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership, and a Middle Eastern delegation of the American Council of Young Political Leaders.
Founding ACUMEN Apparel, Bryan embarked on his new entrepreneurial career path.
With ACUMEN, he wanted to create a men’s clothing brand that empowers professional men by solving their problems, so they can solve the world’s. ACUMEN began with the idea of the patent-pending Set, where Bryan used his unique knowledge of shirt stays in the military and improved on it to help professional men keep their dress shirts tucked and tight all day. Bryan intends to build the ACUMEN brand to outfit the complete man. Bryan wants to equip men to conquer their day, day after day.

Sean McAuliffe is the Founder of Huey.io. Huey is an interactive org chart tool that integrates with Slack. Sean was inspired to create Huey after going through successive mergers with his last company, International Key Supply. Although Sean started International Key Supply from his basement apartment, he was able to bootstrap it to 10-figure revenue and over 40 employees.
Eventually, International Key Supply merged with several other companies in private equity-backed deals. All of a sudden, there were over 200 employees in the company and Sean, and his team, kept finding themselves asking “Who do I need to speak with to get x done, and how do I get a hold of them?”
This is why he built Huey. Huey is built to empower every employee in an organization to find the colleague they need quickly and efficiently through its Slack integration.
When he’s not working, you can find Sean spending time with his wife and 3 daughters or driving race cars somewhere.

Josh McCallen is a thought-leader, brand strategist, and resort revivalist. Over the past 20 years, he has generated over $100,000,000 in revenue in the industry, as well as in hospitality and weddings. What started as constructing luxury beach houses for celebrities, evolved into leading his first large-scale resort development company to international notoriety, gaining both national recognition as a top 25 hotel out of 50,000 American hotels and recognition from The Wall Street Journal, then joining Melanie, his wife of 23 years, in a partnership to form Accountable Equity and VIVÂMEE Hospitality.
Accountable Equity offers high-yield private opportunities to investors of all levels, while also providing a learning community comprised of peer investors. This unique investment model has positioned Melanie and Josh as thought leaders in the real estate investment world.
Josh is also CEO of VIVÂMEE Hospitality, a vertically-integrated management company and value-add land developer that oversees all of Accountable Equity’s assets. VIVÂMEE specializes in identifying distressed properties with a history and reviving the “soul” of those properties to create an experientially beautiful “home away from home” for their guests. Josh’s innovative approach to real estate investment has uniquely positioned VIVÂMEE to set industry revenue records amidst a global pandemic and recession.
By Christmas 2021, VIVÂMEE is expected to have 5 resorts under management with a moving target of 100 resorts by 2035. Renault Winery Resort in South Jersey is quickly becoming recognized as one of the premier wedding venues on the East Coast, in addition to boasting a winery, hotel, golf course, and variety of restaurants. The beautifully revived and restored Kent Island Resort, just outside of Annapolis, is scheduled to open mid July 2021.
Josh’s heart for servant leadership is infused in all that he does. His team’s number one priority is to develop the strongest hospitality team in the industry, one that is built on servant leadership and a commitment to honoring the dignity of every guest. In the past 10 years, Josh and his team have improved the lives of over 5,000 employees through their emphasis on reviving the souls of their staff. His executive team are experts in all business areas and their commitment to training staff in “soul-full” service not only improves their team’s performance, but also translates into an exceptional guest experience.
Josh has appeared, collectively, in over 500 million homes worldwide, discussing countless real estate and investment related topics. He hosts two podcasts: “Capital Hacking,” focused on understanding, developing, and wielding monetary and human capital like an expert and “Wealth Building with Friends” which he co-hosts with wife, Melanie, alongside husband and wife couple Bob Wells and Usha Patel. “Wealth Building with Friends” involves thoughtful conversations with everyday hardworking families about their unique journeys to financial freedom.

Artin Nazarian's story is an immigrant story. As a Christian minority family in war-torn Iran, his parents decided it best to move somewhere that could give Artin and his sister better opportunities. At 10 years old, Artin and his family immigrated to the United States with Madrid as a point of transition. In Madrid, Artin and his family lived as refugees, residing in temporary housing and relying on government aid. Asking his parents for money was not an option. Thus, ensued Artin's first taste of entrepreneurship - selling hand-drawn art to other students at his elementary school. Once eligible, his family moved to Los Angeles, California. Life in L.A. strengthened his interest in the arts and eventually inspired Artin to pursue filmmaking. After film school, he landed at Walt Disney Studios where he rose through the ranks, becoming an executive before the age of 30.
Throughout his time at Disney, Artin has contributed to the launch of Disney+, assisted the integration of the $71 billion acquisition of Twentieth Century Fox, and worked on legendary brands include Star Wars, Marvel, and Pixar. Alongside these accomplishments, Artin has continued to fuel his passion for entrepreneurship. Learning from both failed and successful ventures, he has raised over $4 million to build software products and launch tech startups. In addition to these professional pursuits, he has welcomed the titles of husband and father. Artin's humble beginnings and journey to becoming an executive of one of the world's most beloved companies and founder of his own has fostered a deeper understanding of fulfillment and happiness. Leveraging his corporate success to pursue his entrepreneurial dreams has enabled him to clarify his passion and purpose.
These lessons fuel Artin's desire to help others on similar paths by sharing his story as an author. His story embodies his belief that everyone is just one idea away from happiness.

Natalie Palomino is a Master Stylist, Clean Hair Care Expert and Founder of North Authentic, a conscious hair care company. We thank North Authentic & Natalie for being an affiliate sponsor of the podcast! Be sure to use our affiliate link when ordering any of their products. https://shrsl.com/38heu
With a B.S. in Finance, JD/MA, and 12 years behind the chair as a hairstylist, hair salon owner and educator focused on clean products, she is the expert on everything hair care and chemical free. In 2018, Natalie was diagnosed with Hashimotos and an autoimmune disorder. Witnessing numerous clients and friends diagnoses with similar thyroid/endocrine issues, she set out on an investigation to find out why so many women were experiencing this pandemic. Her investigation pointed her to the thousands of toxic chemicals in household and beauty products.
Being an expert in hair and noticing the lack of attention on chemicals in hair care products, she founded North Authentic, a conscious hair care-focused retailer that not only vets every product against their Barred Ingredient list, but also tests them for performance. Natalie’s belief is that “just because it’s clean, doesn’t mean it works.”
As over 92% of people have 9+ products under their sink that they purchased but don’t use, North Authentic also provides an unrivaled hair quiz which matches clients with a personalized expert-prescribed hair care regimen. Natalie and North Authentic are not committed to any one brand, but is committed to their clients, so the North Authentic Hair Quiz recommends a hair care regimen made up of products spanning across its 14+ hair care brands based on what each client needs. Ensuring every man, woman and child uses safe products and finds the right products for them avoiding any further wasted investments on the wrong hair care products is North Authentic’s primary goal.
In addition to listening to the episode, you can watch a video of their discussion on our YouTube Channel. And be sure to subscribe to support the podcast!
Prior to founding North Authentic, Natalie owned North Salon from 2017 to 2020 (closed in 2020 due to discovery of black toxic mold in the commercial building). She is still actively working as a hair stylist/expert while running North Authentic.
Natalie began her hair career in 2008 after discovering that it was where her passion and creativity lied. Natalie’s first career was as an International Crime Policy attorney for the United States Treasury Department and the United Nations. She has lived in Cairo, Vienna, Sydney and London and traveled to over 35 countries.

Tim O’Brien has extensive experience in the health and wellness industry. He began his career in 2003 at GNC franchises, then became District Manager in 2005. In 2008, he became the manager of Elite Nutrition. During those years, he built a solid foundation of knowledge and expertise. His passion and success gave him the vision to open his own business.
Tim believes in educating and empowering individuals to make lifelong, healthy choices and changes. His desire is to help each person reach their health potential. His energy is contagious, and he’s excited about helping YOU.
The Healthy Place, formerly Apple Wellness, was founded by Tim and his wife, Becki, in 2010. It began as one, small vitamin and supplement store with only the two of them and their newly born daughter. Their goal was to become the best vitamin and supplement store in the Wisconsin area. They wanted to provide customers with the highest quality products, but also with the education needed for customers to stride forward confidently on their journey to find wellness.
Those founding principles continue to be what drives their company forward — top quality products and customer empowerment. Here are links to two other of Tim's supplement companies: livelyvitaminco.com and wildtheory.com
Their first location, with its humble beginnings, was opened in June 2010 in Fitchburg, WI. Six years later, in January 2016, they opened our second location in Sun Prairie, WI and now have two additional stores in Middleton, WI, and the west side of Madison, WI that opened in 2019.

Most entrepreneurial business leaders are experts in their field. Still, they struggle with the complexities involved in scaling their business, with less than half of entrepreneurial businesses surviving more than five years.
A serial entrepreneur himself, Jeff Chastain has “been there” and “done that” when it comes to both successful and less than successful ventures.
Today, he coaches entrepreneurs in building and structuring their businesses more like a franchise - i.e., scalable and systems-based - rather than a “job” that leaves them running on an everlasting hamster wheel, tried, burned out, and frustrated.
Regardless of whether you are a solopreneur or the owner of a 200-person company - Jeff leads one-on-one and group coaching programs with the simple objective of helping each entrepreneur gain clarity in their business and build a path to grow the business they originally envisioned.

Lane Kawaoka is a Licensed Professional (PE) with a Master’s degree in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in Construction Management and a Bachelors in Industrial Engineering both from the University of Washington in Seattle, WA. He currently owns 21 Apartments Buildings, 2 Manufactured Home developments, and an Assisted-Living Facility totaling 4,500+ units in 12 different states.
Lane started investing when he was 13 years old with the $2,000 he earned from a summer job picking Pineapples in Maui. He bought a $500 Ukulele and deposited the $1500 into a Roth IRA via mutual funds. That Ukulele is featured in the SimplePassiveCashflow.com podcast’s theme song.
Lane started his venture in real estate investing in 2009 after living on the road for 5 years as a construction supervisor by purchasing an A-class rental in Seattle that rented $2200 per month. Three years later he was able to acquire a duplex. While looking for a 3rd investment in 2012, the market was rebounding and he realized most investments would yield negative cashflow.
After this realization, Lane converted his portfolio to secondary markets with robust job markets and Rent-to-Value Ratios that would yield $250-$400 monthly profit between rents and all expenses.
In addition to listening to this episode, you can watch a video of their discussion on our YouTube Channel. And be sure to subscribe to support the podcast!
Lane’s passion project the Top-50 Investing podcast SimplePassiveCashflow.com, a free podcast and online learning resource in passive real estate investing. Working as a high paid professional in Corporate America and frustrated by the traditional wealth building dogma, Lane was compelled to inspire and mentor other working professionals on how to do real estate investing and build their own portfolios. Lane urges other working professionals just get started by utilizing their highest and best use (their day job) to save the for the 20% down payment for a conventional loan to acquire a single-family home rental. The Simple Passive Cashflow method is to only buy investments with a healthy cashflow buffer that can withstand a market downturn. Lane has gotten so much appreciation for his work via these kind words from his audience.

Sahar Paz is an author, professional speaker, personal branding expert and the CEO of Own Your Voice Strategy Firm where she has clients ranging from Gen Yers to Baby Boomers. Sahar has had the entrepreneurial spirit since the age of 13 when she launched her first company. With two decades of leadership experience, her keen communications and management skills were honed in her first managerial position in fashion, leading a multigenerational team with most members her senior. She then went into the conservative world of finance where she further learned how to own her voice, be strategic and navigate the complexities of an age-diverse team.
Inspired to share what she learned in business, Sahar pivoted and dedicated herself to giving a voice to people and issues by founding Free Your Star Foundation. The nonprofit empowered minority high school students in Brooklyn with programs and scholarships that focused on the business side of fashion. She continues to provide business and career advice to her former Millennial mentees now in the workforce.

Championing the voice of others to help them understand their emotional drivers and their personal power has always been Sahar’s mission. Her book, Find Your Voice , part-memoir, part cognitive behavior guide, epitomizes that pursuit. As a member of Gen X, she understands the common sentiment of her generation: feeling overlooked and underappreciated. Sahar is a sought-after multigenerational translator known for being a dynamic keynote speaker who ignites excitement for a typically exasperated topic in the workplace--the generation gap.
Sahar is hailed as a conscious leader who offers the wisdom to lift up Gen X leaders to build better business practices. Keynote speaking clients have included several corporations, conferences, and universities, such as Facebook, HBO, Whole Foods, Greater Houston Partnership, Texas Medical Center, Emerging Women Live and the University of Denver. Audiences walk away with the skills to communicate fluidly across generations, build stronger teams and maintain company retention. Sahar currently lives in Houston with her dog Rico.

Ron Coury is a name that is well-known to longtime residents and members of the business community in Southern Nevada. A U.S. Marine, Coury has seen and done a lot in his 45 years in Las Vegas. Coury is an observational entrepreneur, a “niche finder,” in his words. With nearly every venture he has undertaken, alongside various business partners including Dan Hughes, Don Tamburro and Tom Boeckle, he identified operational nuances that led to enhanced levels of success with all their ventures. This mindset was fascinating to execute in a young, growing town like Las Vegas since his arrival in 1973.
Coury has worked as a casino dealer, real estate agent, founder of a limousine service and a partner in bars, restaurants, major graphics and glass companies, along with several automobile dealerships in Nevada and California.
As a niche finder Coury says, “When you can demonstrate a need in any area of industry, your job is to find a cure, believe you can implement it, raise the money to do so, form the team and make it happen: a new business is born.”

Wendy Caverly is a networking coach and connections facilitator. As the old saying goes, “it’s not what you know, but who you know”. But how do you get to know those people? By networking! Networking is the open exchange of knowledge while connecting with others. Separate from selling and marketing, networking is most effective when the future value of the connection being made is unknown. The key is to discover in what form that value will take.
With 20+ years of both entrepreneurial and networking experience and over 7 years of dedicated referral network facilitation, Wendy brings her focus on networking as a skill and knowledge, to professionals looking to learn how to effectively connect with others to create a solid foundation for success.
As a master connector, advocate for the business community and frequent public speaking engagements on the importance of sincere connections, the how-to connect, she excels at coaching individuals on what makes networking a valuable skill, separate from selling and marketing. Wendy does this by breaking down the complex, sometimes confusing and often overwhelming prospect of networking into easy to define ‘landscapes’, giving professionals confidence and control in any situation.
Her style of coaching new information is personable, friendly and often humorous. Wendy encourages her coaching clients to view networking as an adventure and to enjoy the journey. Transforming a neglected but needed activity into a confident skill set that will soon feel like an art form.
In addition to listening to this episode, you can also watch a video of their discussion on our YouTube Channel. And be sure to subscribe and support the podcast!

Justin Reitman is the Co-Founder of Tech Shredders and Director of Business Development at Intek Leasing in Roseland, NJ. He is a former lawyer who took the long path to working in the family business. His entrepreneurship journey started in a law school classroom of all places, where he developed note taking software. A few years after law school, he joined Caviar as an early employee, helping the food delivery app grow their New York market and acquisition to Square. In 2015, after a brief stint with his own food delivery app, he decided to join the family at Intek.
Justin is the second generation to work in the business, joining his brother Adam and father Billy who started Intek in 1986. Intek provides truck financing and equipment leasing programs to small and medium businesses. Many of the industries they serve work with highly specialized vehicles like heavy duty tow trucks, car carriers, mobile shredding trucks, and tri-axel dump trucks. After successfully launching in 2005 and selling in 2018 “SafeShredding” (a mobile paper shredding company), Justin and Adam launched Tech Shredders, a hard drive shredding and electronic recycling service.
Justin currently splits his time between Intek and Tech Shredders, focusing on sales and business development at both. Intek has given Justin and his family the opportunity to enter new markets and expand their business beyond just leasing more trucks.
Justin joins Mitch to talk about his entrepreneurial ventures and his experiences as part of a family-owned business. You can also watch a video of their discussion on our YouTube Channel and be sure to subscribe when you visit us!

Another PodMAX Interview! Amber Fuhriman is an attorney, speaker, success architect, and podcaster. She is the Owner and Attorney at Fuhriman Law, a Law Firm she operates in Las Vegas, Nevada. Amber practices Criminal Defense and Immigration Law. She graduated from Law School in Michigan and immediately moved to Vegas to being her career.
Throughout her educational and professional career, Amber always thought there would be a moment where everything would fall into place, as she calls it, her “I’ll be happy when moment.” When that moment never came, Amber started to realize her entire identity had been tied up in being an attorney and chasing accomplishments to fill a void that accomplishments could never fill. Amber’s road to becoming a success architect began in 2016 when she dug into personal development. Since 2016, Amber has pushed the boundaries of her self-imposed physical and mental limitations, living outside her comfort zone as much as possible and learning about how the mind works and how our limiting beliefs affect our success.
In 2020, Amber became a Certified Trainer in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and a Certified Master Practitioner in Integrated Timeline Techniques. She is also a Success Mastery Academy Certified Coach. Now, in addition to practicing law, Amber is a Success Architect! She works with “serial accomplishers” like her former self to help them gain clarity what they actually want, define what their best life looks like and helps them get out of their comfort zone to achieve their dreams.
Amber believes that pushing yourself out of your comfort zone physically helps challenge your mental limitations of what you can accomplish professionally. She uses her experiences with loss, grief, academic and professional success, and physical challenges including a 24 hour endurance obstacle course race to help her clients get out of their own way and achieve their highest level of success.
Amber joins Mitch to share her story and how she has become the motivational person who helps people seek out their passion and their dreams to live the life they want and deserve. You can also watch a video of their discussion by visiting our YouTube Channel.

Richard Bliss Brooke went from chicken chopper to CEO, according to Success magazine in its 1992 cover story, an issue that outsold every issue in the 100-year history of the magazine. He was only 36 years old when Success magazine featured his journey from earning $3.05 an hour cutting chickens for Foster Farms to creating millionaires from his sales training and performance coaching.
Had it not been for an obscure management decision by Foster Farms – they would not promote anyone who did not have a college degree – Richard would have recently retired from a 40-year career at the processing plant. Instead, he pivoted and built a nationwide sales organization of 30,000 people by the time he was 28 and went on to build two global companies over the next 35 years.
As a keynote speaker, he has wowed audiences of over 10,000 and shared the stage with Tony Robbins, Sir Richard Branson, Bob Proctor, John Maxwell, and many others. As an author, he has written three books and hundreds of articles and blogs.
Today Richard runs his three multimillion-dollar companies from his home on the island of Lanai, Hawaii. Richard joins Mitch on this episode to share his background, experience and how he is helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses and make better decisions along the way. You can also watch a video of their discussion on our YouTube Channel.

Jason Cutter is the founder of Cutter Consulting Group, a sales operations-focused advisory, consulting, and training firm, author of Selling With Authentic Persuasion: Transform from Order Taker to Quota Breaker, and the A Sales Consultant's Guide To: series, and host of the Authentic Persuasion Podcast. With a degree in Marine Biology, years of experience tagging sharks, then time spent at Microsoft on the tech support team, Jason did not really know what he wanted to do with his life. Then he fell into sales at 27 years old, following the path of so many people - no plans on being in sales, no training, no coaching, no real leadership. After 18 years he has seen so many sales teams struggle across various industries and has made it his mission to empower over 1 million people to become AUTHENTIC PERSUADERS.
Jason joins Mitch to discuss his background and why authenticity is the key to success as a salesperson in any industry. You can watch a video of their discussion by visiting our YouTube Channel.

Evona Niewiadomska, founder of Gifting Made, a strategic network nurture and business gifting system, was born into a life of taking risks and having blind faith in MAKING IT HAPPEN. When she was just 4 years old, her mother (also Evona!), a single mom, decided she would go to America and create a life of opportunity for herself and her baby. Two years later, Evona landed in America, leaving her life and family, everything she knew behind to start a new life in Buffalo NY. She's since ran away from the snow to sunny San Diego but maintains her Northeast grit, resilience and directness. She's wanted to be a business owner her whole life it seems, ever since her first business idea in the second grade. Now, a four time entrepreneur, Evona’s dynamic career includes creating one of the very first coworking space communities in the United States, in Boston, Massachusetts; becoming a digital nomad and traveling throughout Europe for 9 months, during which time she became a self taught freelance graphic designer (thanks YouTube!), working with some of the biggest brands in the world including Google, Samsung and and Salesforce; building her first startup, Undiscovered Kitchen, an artisan marketplace for handcrafted food and gifts, which she later pivoted to Gourmet Wedding Gifts, an ecommerce store for wedding gifts and favors (sold in 2019), and finally, Gifting Made, a one of a kind, extraordinary and strategy-driven business gifting system, where she works with POWERHOUSE women and business owners in real estate and financial services to stay top of mind in an ultra meaningful way and turning their clients into raving fans, who refer more clients, more often.
Evona joins Mitch to discuss her experience as an entrepreneur and how she molded and shaped her company into what Gifting Made has become today. You can also watch their discussion on video by visiting our YouTube Channel.

Mike Shoreman, "the board man" is a fun and personable paddleboarder. On a trip to India, he stands before the Ganges River, and awakens to his passion of inspiring others on the water. He returns home, becomes a professional paddlbeboarding coach, taught stand-up paddleboarding and ran a business. His dream of sharing his gift with students becomes a reality.
One morning, everything changes. A sudden neurological condition called Ramsay Hunt Syndrome wakes him in excruciating pain. With a collapsed face, extreme vertigo, and an inability to walk properly, Mike is devasted that his budding paddleboarding career has come to an abrupt end. Hopelessness and loss enfold him as he is left to grieve his old life.
Instead, Mike channeled his pain into purpose. He used positive thinking to reverse falling down. He got back up and stepped bravely into a life that looks nothing like the one he had originally planned. He wrote “Diaries of The Unbalanced Paddleboarder: Crash and RISE: From Victim to Thriving Survivor” to highlight what it truly means to crash and rise again by transcending mental and physical limitations in order to share his light with the world. His story reminds us that it is always darkest just before the dawn.
In August 2020, he entered the Speaker Slam inspirational public speaking competition with the event being about acts of courage. He gave his first speech ever that evening to 300 people hoping to uplift a few people in the room. Titled “I said yes,” Mike won the competition.
Today, Mike still coaches paddleboarding while being a motivational speaker.
Mike joins Mitch to shared the health challenges he has faced and how he is spreading his motivational message around the world. Paddles Up! You can also watch a video of their discussion on our YouTube Channel.

Jennifer Gillman calls herself a “Law Firm Matchmaker” and is President of Gillman Strategic Group, a legal recruiting company focused solely on law firm partner placement. Her goal is to help dissatisfied law firm partners and solo practitioners find the perfect fit at another firm, which can make a dramatic difference in their career and personal satisfaction.

A recovering lawyer herself, Jennifer knows how busy law firm partners are, and how overwhelming starting the process of finding a better fit might sound, so Gillman Strategic Group commits to taking on as much of the legwork as possible and being there every step of the way, to make the process less time-consuming and more enjoyable.
You can watch a video of their discussion by visiting our YouTube Channel.
Jennifer received her J.D. from New York University School of Law and her undergraduate degree from Brandeis University, magna cum laude.

She worked with a full-service New Jersey legal recruiting firm for 10 years, before following her dream and launching Gillman Strategic Group in 2018.

Jeroen (yer-own) Corthout is co-founder and CEO of Salesflare, an intelligent CRM built for SMBs selling B2B, mostly popular with agencies and fast growing startup companies.
Jeroen started off in a marketing job at Baxter to get experience before starting his own company, but quickly felt that corporate life was not for him. It just wasn't exciting enough and he felt cornered in one small part of a big machine. Just more than a half a year in, while looking to start a digital agency for healthcare companies, he decided to join one and started running digital campaigns for the world's largest pharma companies as the company's youngest account manager. He however never gave up on the dream of starting his own company, started working part-time at his job, and tried a series of startup projects before he eventually started Salesflare.
Jeroen joins Mitch from his home in Belgium to discuss his background as an entrepreneur and the sales tools that have been developed by his company, Salesflare. You can also watch the video of their discussion on our YouTube Channel.

“I got hired by Tony Robbins as my first real job out of college. The biggest gift that Tony gave me was he taught me how to model success— how to find people who are great in their field, and to go into their world and figure out what are the three key elements to duplicate that success. So that really led me on this journey that led to me becoming a health coach,” says Greg.

Tod Barrett is the CEO of OneBlade, Inc. Tod has taken an initial concept of creating a tool that would allow men to enjoy a “barbershop” quality shave at home and brought it to reality.

Following, he served as President of CD3, Inc. before becoming Chairman of the Board. In 2011, CD3 Holdings, Inc. acquired Ronco. Tod started OneBlade, Inc. in 2013.
According to OneBlade, shaving shouldn’t be cheap. A ritual performed every day between an individual and a sharp blade should be a throwaway. A good, clean shave is preparation to start the day strong with an investment in better skin. OneBlade has embarked on a tireless mission to capture that unparalleled barbershop feeling and translate those decades of expertise into a safe, attainable, and just-as-special morning luxury. Tod worked with the best design and engineering teams to create the first single-edge shaving system focused on optimal head design, pivot, and blades for a barbershop-quality wet shave easily master at home.
