Listen in as I speak with Lamonte Gwynn, a Virtual Experience Producer, Expression Coach, and photographer.
Lamonte gets real very quickly discussing his life: an administrative assistant for nearly 20 years, difficulty with drugs, his Mom’s death, and his experience with COVID.
In the middle of his story, when he was homeless, he realized that he had the ability to live his best possible life, come what may; and through his photography work he helps people step into who they are. “I teach people to express their feelings, convey an emotion, or send a picture through a picture.”
Truly a powerful conversation and he saves the best for his final comment.

From Nope to Hope -
Listen in as I speak with Lorraine Reguly, an author and English teacher who is now a freelance editor, blogger, and entrepreneur.
Lorraine shares her roller coaster life that started with being raped at 14. With no skills or resources to learn how to cope with this trauma, she found ways to numb the pain…that included alcohol and substance abuse, and promiscuity.
A single Mom at the age of 18, she made a lifestyle change and completed her high school education and went on to college. However, leaving her home for a job became too difficult and she quit her job and returned home without any gainful employment. This quickly started another descent on the roller coaster that involved crack cocaine and prostitution
When her son was 19 and realized what she was doing, he disowned her. At her bottom, she found her way up and returned to writing and editing. A self-published author, her From Nope to Hope book talks about how she overcame her suicidal thoughts.
Reconciled with her son, she now helps other authors with their books and sees her past all leading her to the point where she is now, helping others on their healing journey.

From Mister Rogers to Pika Bunny!
Listen as I speak with Wendy Gilhula, the author of the Pika Bunny book series for children. Wendy shares how as a child she looked up to and believed that Mister Rogers was talking directly with her. His kindness carried over into her own life and she started a journey forward to let all children know that she sees them and all the gifts they have.
For years, she kept the manuscripts for Pika Bunny in a drawer and no one in her family knew about them. Early on she did submit them to publishers, only be rejected and told “kindness is not relevant”.
But a question from one of her students, Adam, had her go back to those manuscripts and submit again. Currently, she has three books in this series, a Pika Bunny Kindness tracking app, a coloring book, and has a manuscript out for a chapter book series.
Kindness is definitely relevant and Wendy, through her Pika Bunny books, shares her kindness with children all over the world.

“Man, You Are All Messed Up!”
Listen as I speak with Greg Storch, a retired Naval Officer with 24 years of Active Duty Service and a former IT Corporate Executive from the DC area. When stress was negatively impacting his health, a nurse let him know he was “all messed up,” and he made the decision to walk away and start his own coaching, leadership, and speaking company. And to support his wife in her career—which led them to Northern Italy, just outside of Venice.
We talk about lessons learned in the Navy and how they are applicable in his civilian life, one being “we don’t do anything in life without the help of others.” Greg embodies this through his volunteer services with military staff in Italy—where he mentors many. In fact, he volunteered over 1,000 hours in 2019 and was recently selected as their Volunteer of the Year.

Paul’s Godfather moment—an offer he couldn’t refuse—was when his first mentor handed him “Think and Grow Rich”. Paul’s study and application of this book is at the core of his success. And he will be releasing a book in January—with the three missing chapters of this work. So excited!!

Listen as I speak with Candace Gruber, CEO of Candace Mae Training and Services. Candace is a “personal growth junkie” since the age of 13. Daily she betters herself so she can make a stronger impact while working more effectively with her clients—meeting them where they are at.
Since finding her voice at the dinner table, as a young girl, Candace continues to be her authentic self and focuses on becoming even more aware while also helping those in her life become more aware to be their best self.
The Platinum Rule says to treat others the way they want to be treated, rather than the Golden Rule which says to treat others the way you want be treated. This simple yet profound mindset shift is a core component of her training and leadership development services.
Communication through genuine connection is one of the foundations of growing high performance teams. Connection lets others know they matter, allow individuals to work in their strengths, and augment holes with other team members who have the strengths needed.

Create Your Own Independence Day! -
Listen in as I speak with Andy Hall, a leadership and business coach from England, on this episode of The Cannoli Coach podcast. Andy shares how his risk taking mentality made him a little different from his upbringing, which was quite protective. “Opportunity is on the other side of fear and risk.”
His history for taking risks led him to work in the United States for a while and to walk away from the corporate world and create his own company over 6 years ago. And his biggest stretch out of his comfort zone is happening in July when he hosts the Strategies for Success: Create Your Own Independence Day event in London, July 3-4. Andy will be joined by Paul Martinelli and Roddy Galbraith—two extraordinary speakers.
Andy’s purpose is about adding significant value to others and this episode is full of value!

Each of these individuals in this picture had an impact on my reaching my full potential. Pictured from left to right, Uncle Joe, Dad, Aunt Virginia, and Uncle Johnny.

And you are comforting them all at a time when you need comfort.” He then took me outside for a shot of whiskey! But his words are still with me these days and illustrate my efforts to guide others through life’s situations.
