Episode Highlights:

Overcoming Fear & Aligning with Your True Self:
Patrice talks about the transformative power of spirituality and self-awareness. Fear can hold us back, but aligning our inner selves with how we present ourselves to the world is crucial for success and fulfillment.

The Power of Personal Branding:
Building a personal brand isn’t just for influencers or business leaders. Whether you're a teacher, a banker, or a mom, your personal brand matters. Patrice emphasizes that it's all about showing up authentically in every moment of your life and the importance of consistency.

Self-Sabotage & Childhood Conditioning:
Patrice dives into how childhood programming can lead to self-sabotage. Many of us repeat patterns of behavior that undermine our success because of fear, insecurity, or societal expectations that we’ve internalized since childhood.

The Role of Authenticity in Building Trust:

Whether you're meeting with a client, going on a date, or simply engaging with someone at the store, your authenticity is what builds trust. People can feel when you're aligned with yourself.

Embrace Your Role as a Leader in Any Environment:

Patrice shares his belief that everyone is a leader in their own way. No matter what job you have, you influence those around you, and showing up with authenticity and confidence creates positive energy and opportunities.

Key Takeaways:

Fear and Self-Sabotage are Often Interconnected:

Fear is a major factor that holds many people back, whether in professional or personal situations. It can lead to self-sabotage, preventing you from showing up authentically or achieving your goals. Patrice emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing fear to break free from destructive patterns.

Authenticity is the Foundation of Your Brand:

Building your brand starts with aligning your inner self with how you present yourself to the world. Whether you are meeting new clients, going on a job interview, or even showing up at home, being authentic helps you establish trust and create meaningful connections. A true brand is built from within.

Every Interaction Holds Potential for Growth:

Patrice stresses that you never know where your next opportunity might come from. Whether it’s a casual conversation or a professional meeting, every interaction could be the key to your next big opportunity. Always show up as your best self, with confidence and openness, because success can arise from unexpected places.

1. Diversity of Experience & Breaking Stereotypes

• Shirelle’s Personal Story:
• Her fashion choices (such as a standout outfit) initially led others to assume they were selling clothes, rather than running a successful IT and cybersecurity business. This was a pivotal moment where she realized that assumptions based on appearance (race, gender, etc.) don't always align with reality. She was able to turn this situation into an opportunity to connect with a key business partner, emphasizing the importance of diversifying one’s thinking and not allowing past negative experiences to shape future interactions.
• There is a huge power in the diversity of thought—both in business and in how one perceives others. A mindset shift can lead to opportunities rather than barriers.

2. The Role of Mindfulness and Self-Talk

• Leticia's Wisdom:
• Leticia introduces the concept of “telling ourselves our own stories: why mindfulness teachings, thoughts, and choosing the story we tell ourselves is important. When people experience challenges or negative assumptions, the inner narrative they create can either fuel suffering or open the door to more productive thinking and action.
• The message is clear: our mindset and self-talk can shape our experiences and either limit us or open new possibilities.

3. Business Ownership: Passion vs. Profit

• On Business Ownership:
• Shirelle explains why separating passion from profitability is a game changer: While passion can fuel a sense of purpose, it doesn’t always lead to immediate financial success. Entrepreneurs should focus on solving real problems (business problems) while maintaining their passion on the side, ensuring it doesn’t become a source of frustration if it doesn’t directly lead to revenue.
• Understanding business operations is crucial for business owners, particularly financial elements like Profit and Loss sheets, cash flow, and systems for managing growth. Without this infrastructure, passion alone won't sustain a business.

4. Systems and Processes in Small Business

• Efficiency & Operations:
• The power of systems and operations in small business ownership: While it’s tempting to focus solely on passion and product/service quality, a sustainable business requires attention to financial management, organizing workflows, and streamlining operations. Having clear systems in place for managing cash flow and delegating tasks, so that the entrepreneur can focus on the core functions of their business.
• Using tools like Loom or Zoom to record processes is practical advice for anyone looking to grow their business by ensuring that workflows and knowledge are shared efficiently within a team.

5. Cybersecurity’s Role in Business

• Shirelle passion for cybersecurity:  a high percentage of small businesses face cyberattacks. Their work in cybersecurity is both a business solution and a way to protect other businesses, allowing them to pursue their passion while addressing a critical issue.
• Cybersecurity becomes a symbol of responsibility and security. Entrepreneurs can weave their expertise into their mission of protecting and empowering others.

6. Finding Momentum & Inspiration

• Leticia's Podcast and Message of Patience:
• Leticia shares her own journey of producing a podcast for five years without direct monetary rewards, underscoring the importance of patience and commitment to passion. The rewards often come in the form of impact and fulfillment, not just financial compensation. She talks about the urgency she felt to release content, especially the interview with Dr. Gladys McCormick, a woman who introduced holistic medicine to the U.S. and passed away shortly after the interview.
• Sometimes external events can serve as a signal or a reminder to move forward with projects that are meaningful, even when they seem to have no immediate financial return.

7. Breaking News and Exciting Business Milestones

• Shirelle announces an exciting business achievement: closing a deal with a Historically Black College/University (HBCU) for a digital transformation and cybersecurity project. This includes providing jobs and opportunities for students, which ties back to their passion for empowering underserved and underrepresented groups.
• The significance of this project lies not only in the technical aspects of cybersecurity but also in the social impact—creating pathways for young people to enter the tech field while benefiting from education and mentorship.

8. Gratitude and Giving Back

• We should always express gratitude for life, work, and the opportunities that come with it. Maintaining a sense of purpose and using one’s position to help others, particularly marginalized groups or communities that may not have the same opportunities is so powerful and humane.

Key Messages from the Episode:

• Mindset matters: The mindset plays a crucial role in navigating business and life challenges. Choosing a more empowering narrative can turn obstacles into opportunities.
• Passion and business: Your passion doesn’t have to be profitable or business-connected. But your business needs to solve problems. Passion doesn’t always equate to immediate profitability, but when coupled with problem-solving and business strategies, it can lead to long-term success.
• Systems are essential for every business owner: Having strong operational systems in place is crucial for running a business smoothly. This includes managing cash flow, creating efficient workflows, and being ready for delegation.
• Cybersecurity and social impact: There’s a significant need for cybersecurity services, particularly for small businesses. By combining technical expertise with a mission to empower underserved groups, businesses can make a social impact while ensuring growth and security.
• Patience and persistence: Leticia’s story about her podcast emphasizes the need for patience and persistence in pursuing passions that may not yield immediate financial returns. Success and fulfillment come from the impact one makes, not just the financial rewards.

Key Topics:

Sherelle’s early influences: The impact of her grandfather’s lessons in global citizenship, work ethic from her mother, and dreaming without limits.

The role of exposure in youth development: Traveling, learning new languages, and interacting with diverse cultures.

Career origin story: Sherelle’s transition from law aspirations to a career in tech and IT, driven by an innate interest in process optimization and technology.

"Choosing the right rooms": The importance of being in spaces that align with personal values and goals, rather than conforming to societal expectations.

Legacy vs. fame: Sherelle's desire to leave a lasting impact, particularly on future generations, through her work in leadership, tech, and community empowerment.

Empowering underserved communities: Sherelle's work through I Lead Group and I Elevate Community, focusing on growth, leadership, and work-life integration for women entrepreneurs.

Episode Highlights

Leigh Esposito’s Origin Story:

● Early Life and Influences: Raised by Italian-American parents, Leigh’s upbringing was

shaped by her family's culture and values. Although she grew up in various parts of the

U.S., including the suburbs of Philadelphia and Southern California, her cultural roots

played a pivotal role in her life and eventually inspired her work as a writer.

● Career in Law: Initially, Leigh pursued a career in law, believing it to be a stable

profession that matched her skills in communication and critical thinking. However, she

soon realized that the legal field didn’t align with her passions, describing it as "dry" and

lacking the creative stimulation she craved.

The Shift to Writing and Coaching:

● Pursuing a Second Act: In 2010, Leigh left her law career and embarked on a journey

to follow her dreams. This transition didn’t happen overnight—she spent years honing

her craft as an author, developing a unique coaching practice, and aligning her life with

her values.

● Coaching Style and Philosophy: Leigh brings her background in law into her coaching,

combining the analytical approach of a litigator with a creative mindset. Her coaching

focuses on guiding clients through major life transitions, helping them tap into their

dreams and achieve fulfillment in their “second acts.” Leigh’s approach resonates with

people who want to explore new possibilities while still balancing their existing

responsibilities.

Embracing Tarot as a Tool for Insight:

● Discovering Tarot: While researching her debut novel The Godmother, Leigh became

fascinated with tarot and began using it as a personal tool for reflection and insight. Over

time, she developed an expertise in tarot, integrating it into her coaching practice.

● Tarot's Role in Coaching: Leigh uses tarot not as a means of predicting the future but

as a method of uncovering hidden emotions, perspectives, and motivations. Each tarot

reading becomes a conversation starter, helping her clients unlock aspects of

themselves they may not have acknowledged.

● Influence on Writing: Leigh’s second novel is set in the world of tarot, blending

mysticism with romance and fantasy, inspired by her love for the introspective nature of

tarot cards.

Insights on the Sicilian Experience and Heritage:

● Sicilian Heritage: Both Leticia and Leigh share a deep connection to Sicily. For Leigh,

Sicily represents both her cultural roots and the inspiration for her novel The Godmother.

She celebrates Sicilian culture by organizing retreats on the island, where she introduces

participants to its rich history, stunning architecture, and unique traditions.

● ThemesinTheGodmother: Leigh’s novel explores the idea of a strong

Sicilian-American woman in a position of power, challenging stereotypes. Her

protagonist, a “godmother” figure, isn’t involved in crime but uses her influence and

resources to help others—a twist on the traditional mafia narrative.

● Retreats in Sicily: Through these retreats, Leigh invites others to experience the beauty

and complexities of Sicilian life, from its ancient baroque architecture to its vibrant,

multi-faceted communities.

Key Messages from the Episode

1. Follow Your Passion While Maintaining Balance

● Leigh emphasizes that it’s possible to pursue a passion without abandoning one’s

current responsibilities. She encourages listeners to integrate their interests into daily

life, even if it’s just dedicating a few hours a week to that pursuit.

2. The Power of Coaching and Mentorship

● BothLeigh and Leticia discuss the transformative power of coaching and mentorship.

Leigh believes that having a coach can make a huge difference, especially when it

comes to accountability and support. This guidance can push people to take concrete

steps toward their dreams, no matter how daunting they seem.

3. Taking Practical Steps Towards Fulfillment

● Leigh shares advice on making small, consistent efforts toward a goal rather than waiting

for a perfect moment to make a big change. By building momentum through manageable

steps, individuals can gradually transition to a more fulfilling path.

4. Blending Personal Interests with Professional Goals

● Leigh’s journey shows the value of combining personal passions (such as writing and

tarot) with a professional approach, creating a career that feels authentic and uniquely

hers. She advises others to explore ways to incorporate their unique skills and interests

into their work.

Upcoming Projects and Ways to Connect with Leigh

● Writing Workshop: Leigh is leading a 12-week writing workshop designed for

individuals who want to bring their book ideas to life. Participants will work on creating a

significant portion of their novel, with Leigh’s guidance on everything from idea

development to the first draft.

● SecondNovel: Currently, Leigh is in the process of writing her second novel, a romance

fantasy inspired by tarot. She plans to document her creative journey on social media,

giving readers an inside look at the writing process.

● StayUpdated: For updates on Leigh’s work, including her writing workshop and other

projects, listeners can follow her on social media and sign up for her mailing list on her

website.

Memorable Quotes from the Episode

● OnFollowing Your Dreams:

“You don’t need to quit your day job to feel more fulfilled. Sometimes, it’s about finding a

way to integrate that second act with the first.”

● OntheRoleofaCoach:

“A coach is there to keep you accountable, inspired, and moving forward. They help you

see your potential and take steps you might not take on your own.”

● OnSelf-Discovery Through Tarot:

“Tarot is about excavating mysteries. The greatest mystery we’re trying to uncover is

ourselves.”

● OnFinding Joy in the Creative Process:

“Being an author is like playing in a sandbox every day. It’s a journey of exploration, and

I couldn’t be happier.

At 28, Dan was leading a healthy, active life. After an optometrist appointment to identify the cause of his persistent headaches was cut short, he was handed a sealed envelope and told to go directly to the hospital.

Born in Havana, Cuba, Christian, along with his close-knit family, emigrated to the U.S. when he was 10 to escape Communism. Early life experiences of not being able to speak freely for fear of political persecution led to patterns of hiding aspects of himself and feeling like a stranger in a new land, accompanied by loneliness, isolation, self-rejection, and a sense of not belonging.  

By his late 20s, Christian had all the trappings of “success”: a good job, a beautiful condo on the water in South Beach, FL, a sports car, Armani suits — an enviable life. Yet, none of it seemed enough. It seemed that the more he had, the emptier he felt. Something was missing: a spiritual connection and a sense of purpose. Following a life-changing breathwork session, he had a vision for the impact he was meant to make, the gifts he had yet to share with the world… And he discovered tools to help free himself — and others — from the unbearable weight of self-doubt, limiting beliefs, self-sabotaging behaviors, and the conditioning that kept him from feeling truly free and fulfilled. He jumped tracks and never went for the Ph.D. in Psychology. He walked out of his life and went off on a life-changing spiritual journey.

After five years of diving deep into his own process of healing and transformation, he experienced a level of freedom that is only possible when one is willing to face down and transcend their inner demons, their shadow. His newfound strength, wisdom, confidence, and clarity matched a driving passion to support others to reclaim their power, conquer insecurity, stop playing small, create dream relationships, and live a life filled with purpose. Since then, his commitment to our collective healing and transformation has never wavered.

Rhonda Parker Taylor wanted to write a book to prove to herself that she could. For many, like Parker Taylor, writing is a difficult task. Growing up, she wasn’t a good student in English, reading or writing. She struggled with McGuffey Readers. And the phonetic concepts escaped her as a child. But she was still drawn to books, mostly encyclopedias, where she could read about the world, daring young women and journeys away from her small hometown of Noblesville. So, writing became about telling a story that was within her. And that’s what she did in her book, “Crossroads,” a suspense novel set in Indianapolis in the early 2000s and released earlier this year. The story is a journey into the life of fictional character, Paris Pennington, a powerhouse in the financial community who is forced to fulfill her civic duty and be a juror in a murder trial involving the death of a 15-year-old. But when Pennington takes the job as the jury foreman, whose name is mistakenly made public, her life begins to be picked apart as people around her start dying. Parker Taylor said she had an idea for the plot before she started writing, and she chose the scene of the crime, too. “I had Chapter One ingrained in my head. All I had to do was write it down. I worry about the mechanics after I get the story and dialogue crafted,” she said. Parker Taylor, whose book is endorsed by Golden Globe-nominated actress Mariel Hemingway, will sign copies this Saturday in Chicago and locally, on June 24, at the Barnes and Noble at River Crossing in Indianapolis. The book is the product of “passion, determination and commitment,” she said. “It took me a year to write and 20 years to introduce it.” Yes, she wrote the book in 2000 but finally got it published this year. She was born in Noblesville in 1964 and will turn 59 this fall. She is the second youngest of five children, the daughter of the late William and Anita Parker, who founded a steel manufacturing company that we know today as Noble Industries. Her sister, Brenda Parker, her best friend, is executive vice president of Noble Industries. Her brother, Gary Parker, is executive consultant of manufacturing. And her brother, Greg Parker, is president of Noble Industries. Parker Taylor spent her childhood in a two-story home surrounded by cornfields and cows in the Craig Highlands neighborhood, attended Prairie Baptist Church and Heritage Christian School, from where she graduated in 1983. Through Noble Industries and her parents’ entrepreneurial spirit, the Parkers learned to dedicate themselves to work, family and community. All of the Parker children, she said, were taught to work hard. Most of the kids gained their job experience by working at Noble Industries or for grandparents, Kenneth and Louis (Marrow) Hanna’s Ken-Lo Cafeteria (839 Conner St., according to Hamilton County historian David Heighway). Parker Taylor’s first job was bagging plastic furniture feet while watching TV and bending steel and working a punch press at Noble Industries (which was started in 1968, making metal aquarium stands part time in a 300-square-foot barn, founded in 1969 and incorporated in 1970, and has since grown to 60 employees and a 110,000-square-foot facility). During high school, she worked at Payless Shoes and Arby’s in Noblesville. After graduating high school, she earned a certification in 1984 in Fashion Merchandising in Bauder College, Arlington, Texas. Then, she returned to Indiana. Then several years later, she decided to go back to school. In 2000, she earned a bachelor’s degree in Business Science Management; in 2004, a master’s of Business Administration from Indiana Wesleyan University; and in 2010, a doctorate in Management and Leadership from University of Phoenix. (In her career, she has mentored students and young professionals, was a National College campus director and professor, co-director of an advertising agency and worked for a student loan management company. In between, she worked in the human resources department of Noble Industries. Currently, she is director of operations for Intelligent Solutions training, developing, academic research and business writing services) Her writing started through academics. “I was a business student who had to write paper after paper.” After writing her book, a publisher in 2000 backed out of a deal with her because she wasn’t interested in the business part of the industry. Brenda Parker asked her sister: “What are you afraid of?” Her sister said, “For it to succeed, you must make yourself vulnerable to disappointment.” So Parker Taylor started looking for another publisher who also assisted with the marketing. MindStir and Seacoast walked her through much of the process. Her two family mottos: “If it is meant to be, it is up to me,” and “Every day is great.” She has stuck with those mottos. Writing, for Parker Taylor, is about telling a story with a lesson learned. In “Crossroads,” she used Proverbs’ lessons on anger, fury and envy as the motivations for the crime. After her book was finally published, her first book signing couldn’t have gone better. “I was blessed by so many people coming out to support me and the book,” she said. “I can’t wait to host another one. What I loved about the book signing was it was a time to socialize and fellowship with like-minded people.” Her next signing is at Barnes and Noble Evansville, IN on 9/12 and Barnes and Noble Carmel, IN on October 20. In addition, Parker has done the Fox Indy Now show and approximately 10 Podcasts. While she loves to travel, to cook and all things outdoors, writing a book has always been on her bucket list. What makes her smile is “life and people.” She is inspired by her family and good friends, creating characters like them in her book. “I’ve been lucky to have lifelong friends that push me to be a better person and to live to my full potential,” Parker Taylor said. She has great support from her spouse, Dana Taylor. “My husband assists me in staying in balance because, much like the main protagonist in ‘Crossroads,’ I tend to be a workaholic.” Remember when Parker Taylor shared how she struggled academically in school? Well, she had a special Heritage Christian School teacher, Mrs. Donley, who offered to tutor her over the summer between her junior and senior years. “At the end of the summer, I offered to pay her for the tutoring from the money I made working at Arby’s. She would not take a dime. I passed the test. Without her, none of this would have ever happened to me.”

In her own words:

There was really never a question that I was going to spend my life trying to help people who were in pain or suffering feel or get better. I just somehow knew it was something I was going to do.

Perhaps others saw that in me as well. When I was in high school, my friend’s dad saw an ad in a local paper for teen advice columnists, he told my friend I should apply because everyone was always coming to me for advice. So, out came the hefty typewriter, and off went my application. Before I knew it, I was writing a teen advice column.

My Education....

The University of California Santa Cruz was where I realized that I wanted to pursue a career in mental health. Starting with my first psychology course, I just "knew".

Initially, I thought I wanted to pursue medical school and become a psychiatrist. So, while I majored in psychology, I also took the courses required for medical school. I even took the MCAT's. But, then something hit me as I was knee-deep into med school applications: I truly loved all of my psychology courses. I loved experiencing actual clinical work during an upper-division course.

This led me to do something completely unexpected: I switched gears and applied only to graduate programs in clinical psychology.

After two years at UCSC, and one year studying on exchange at the University of British Columbia, I earned my BA in Psychology, graduating with honors.

2 years later, I was inducted into Psi Chi, the National Honors Society for Psychology, as a Lifetime Member, and earned my MA in Clinical Psychology, with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University.

I completed my doctoral studies at the University of Southern California, where I earned my PhD in Counseling Psychology.

My Career....

After graduate school, I was a postdoctoral resident at Kaiser Permanente. I spent the following 15 years as a staff psychologist in the adult psychiatry department while also running my own small private practice one day a week.

While at Kaiser, I was the lead eating disorder specialist in my department.

As the years went on, I realized that I wanted to continue doing clinical work. But, I also wanted the opportunity to do something different. Something that had a bigger, wider reach.

So, I left Kaiser in October of 2019 to open my practice full-time.

And Here We Are...

I love that I have an opportunity to start something truly meaningful and personally near and dear to my heart.

This podcast is for those of you out there who are: struggling with disordered eating....a full blown eating disorder....yo-yo dieting and struggling with weight.....body image issues.....feel like you can only be happy if you lose weight or look a certain way....or are just plain feeling trapped in a life where you can't make peace with food or your body.

I was there. For years. And when I was going through my struggles, podcasts just did not exist. I wish they had. I needed to know that other people were going through what I was. I needed to hear about what types of help are out there..even help besides therapy. I needed to hear other people just talk about it. To know I was not alone. To hear that recovery is possible.

I have worked with enough patients over the years to know that once you get information....once you gain the knowledge and awareness....things can start to change. But you need to hear it first.

So, I am trying to get this information heard. I am trying to help from beyond the couch in this next chapter. I can only do so much from behind 4 walls---time to break them down and help more people now.

I welcome you to join me and listen.

I welcome you with open arms and an open ear. This podcast is for you...tell me what you want to know and hear.

I'm also listening.

To your health, welcome!

How can a broken heart hurt so much?

I’ll never forget it.  My 18-month-old son was sleeping peacefully upstairs.  My husband sat across from me, staring at the floor.  “I want a divorce.”  It took me a minute to realize I stopped breathing. I felt my world explode.

 In that moment, everything I thought was real was obliterated.  The pain and shock were unimaginable. 

After he left, I wasn’t sure how I was going to get through the next hour, much less the days and months ahead.

Maybe you’re feeling that way right now.  Please know you’re not alone. 

There is hope.  It’s hard to imagine while you’re going through it, but you will survive – and in time, even thrive.

Finding your way through the haze…

How do I know?  Because I’ve been there.  Even though I was comfortable making financial decisions, I was still scared. I was afraid of running out of money, I desperately wanted financial security, knowing that my son and I were going to be okay. It was all I could think about. Even with my background in finance, I still made mistakes...costly mistakes. Out of desperation, I made bad decisions. 

I found a way out and I want to teach this to you. Let me share with you what I discovered, which is allowing me to live a life of fulfillment and joy. I want this for you, too.

I have just written book called America in Therapy: A New Approach To Hope And Healing For A Nation In Crisis, in which I talk about the urgency to bring our whole country to therapy in a way never written about before. From years of experience as a client myself, and well over 30 years of experience as a psychotherapist working extensively with individual and family dysfunction and abuse, I felt a deep calling to share all I have learned with the public and demonstrate how the principles of the best psychotherapy can be used to help heal our country of escalating hatred, divisiveness and violence. I speak to all of us who fear for our children and all future generations, who may feel hopeless or resigned or simply don't know what to do to help create a more loving and sustainable world. I bring a message of both urgency and hope, in language the layman can easily relate to and understand, through personal stories, client case studies, and professional expertise. My basic premise is that we are on a collision course with our own extinction and I see this as a national and global mental health crisis that is not being addressed. I explore the direct correlation between the most destructive family dynamics on the individual level and many of the behaviors and actions of some of our most powerful institutions and leaders, and I highlight that millions of us are suffering the effects of national psychological dysfunction in ways we might not be aware of. I help the listener understand that many answers of how to heal our human relations and restore us to peace and safety are already known and used effectively in the field of psychotherapy and that there is HOPE if we can take everything we know about healing into national conversation. The best psychotherapy helps interrupt the cycle of violence— which is our best hope of prevention— and it involves a total reversal of many of the beliefs and dynamics that now run our country. I share with the listener, in ways not commonly understood or generally spoken of, all I have learned about what is needed to help restore us to safety, and how every one of us can participate in healing ourselves and our country, no matter how large or small our sphere of influence.

Growing up, I watched the people around me and saw so much pressure to pretend.  Most people were scripting their lives from the dictations of their parents and society…here is how you become a female or male adult…do these things, don’t do these things…this is the life you ‘should’ be leading…what your life should look like…this is the life you want; this binary is the only acceptable way.

I was born into an abusive household and was raised inside an evangelical Christian cult.  Because I experienced my life almost entirely as high control and was punished for being myself.  Imaginary worlds were my only safe space and books became my friends and mentors.   

My life doesn’t look at all like my childhood.  I spent the last fifteen years studying psychology as an amateur, building on my emotional intelligence and personal awareness moving through life and healing.  I have changed so much in the last 7 years and as a result, so has the business since I started it part-time in 2016.

Several years ago while leading group coaching for entrepreneurs and business owners of varying years and decades of experience I realized my scholarly studies were taking up more and more space in the world.   

Through the process of building the firm and connecting with clients, I realized that our mission is larger than I originally imagined.  I needed to let our ethos, our culture and the brand take up more space in the world, support and work with more people in a deeper and more expansive way.

My work went from focusing on empowering others to design their lives through intention to recognize the power of my work with leadership as well as in our individual lives and now focuses on Intentional and Ethical Leadership and Living. 

We empower people, and those who are also leaders, to connect with curiosity, respect, and accountability to transform their lives and leadership.  To build community and connection and to move away from the idea of a lonely leader at the top to understanding the power and strength of a community of voices driving innovation and profitability through a healthy culture.

I was born into a modest family in a very small town in Transylvania, Romania. I spent the fist part of my life on farms, caring for livestock and working land. When I was young, my family told me “If you want to learn, you can learn in any school.” I think that’s the pre-school version of “You can achieve anything you want to achieve, no matter where you are right now.” And that’s exactly what I continue to believe. Traveling gave me an ideal vantage point to observe common mistakes and successes in businesses on a world-wide scale. This mindset has helped me to build an empire of 8 businesses generating 7-figures yearly, to travel over 100,000 miles visiting 17 countries, speaking in front of thousands of people in 3 different languages, and to maintain a loving relationship with my gift from God, Diana, and our close family and friends. Throughout these years, I have also: * Generated over $500,000,000 in business value for my clients. * Delivered on over 200 projects for clients in 19 different sectors. * Consulted over 1,000 professionals to achieve 2-10X higher levels of effectiveness. * Created athlete-level health and an amazing marriage in between. If you're ethical, ambitious, and have capital, I'd love to help you achieve your vision and leave an ever greater impact. Just email mail@robertindries.com

Chasing goals is something useful when we are on a Growth pass. But we must make sure, that we don't identify ourselfs with our goals. True happiness can be found only in the present. If we set conditions that need to occur, before we feel better, this will never work. Because once these conditions are met, we will find new conditions. To become the best version of yourself, and live a life in abundance, we need to understand that. This is were our growth path starts. If we give every day our best and accept what is than we can really grow. Over the last years, I developed a framework with which I guide other professionals to find their own way. I'm also a 6x Ironman, incl. competing in the World Championship on Hawaii. Being an Ironman helped me also to develop a clear and winning mindset, focusing on what really matters and leave the rest aside.

Since I was five, I wanted to fly helicopters. So I did. I was in the U.S. Navy for 23 years as a designated helicopter pilot. Before I retired from the Navy, I had assumed that I would fly for the rest of my life (helicopters or other) - it was my passion and it was what I was trained to do. But I felt a nudge from the universe; a new calling. It happens that in my last four years in the Navy, I was assigned as a professor teaching leadership at the University of Colorado. I became fascinated with leadership and learned how much I had to learn. Through that work, I realized that I felt called to serve others in their personal leadership journeys. So when I retired, I decided to leave aviation in my past, and work in leadership development. First, in the corporate setting as an in-house facilitator, and then as an independent coach. For me, the journey since retirement has been characterized by powerful emotional, spiritual, somatic and cognitive growth. I feel so fortunate to be able to serve others in their personal leadership journeys!

Full Bio:

Darlene Greene - Health and GHK-CU and Stem Cell Activation Technology Consultant and retired US Navy Commander. Darlene Greene wants to help you take charge of your own health, get out of pain, improve your energy, increase the quality of your sleep, reduce systemic inflammation, increase mental clarity, improve your nervous system, lower your anxiety, enhance brain functioning, improve cardiovascular functioning, and elevate your GHK-Cu for a host of additional benefits to include increasing your own stem cells, producing growth factors, protect lungs, reset genes to their younger healthier state, repair damaged DNA, inhibit cancer, increase hair growth, improve skin, increase healing, accelerate wound healing, reduce Fibrinogen (top predictor of cardiovascular disease) and more... Having exhausted IV stem cells, hyperbaric chamber, ozone therapies and more to help her husband with his Early Alzheimer’s, she FINALLY discovered an affordable technology that dramatically improved his symptoms within the first week, without drugs, without a prescription, and without any contra-indications to other treatments or therapeutic modalities. After experiencing the amazing results for herself, and watching family and friends have their own miracles, Darlene is passionate about sharing this technology with the world. A driving force for her remains, “Why didn’t I know about this two years ago… where would my husband be if we had started using this technology two years ago…and who out there needs to know about this right now?” When an anesthesiologist says, “This is the most significant medical breakthrough in my lifetime…” and when over 300 Olympic Athletes use the technology in the 2008 Olympics, aren’t you curious as to what it could do for you in addition to making you look and feel younger? Darlene Greene has over 26 years of experience in executive leadership and senior management positions across diverse industries, including positions such as: Vice President of Strategic Technology Partner at McAfee (Intel), Dean of Culver Girls Academy, Director of Client Services for HyeTech Networks and Security, and Senior Director LifeWave Foundational Cell Activation Technology.

I am a passionate, no BS Relationship coach and speaker who loves to get deep, vulnerable, and intimate conversations. I am a Certified Life and Relationship coach and work with both couples and individuals to find more power, freedom, and joy in life, especially within fam I love talking love and forgiveness as my parents separated when my dad cheated on my mom and had a child and left us. With faith, my dad returned home and my mom forgave, but I later discovered there was still trauma I had to deal with. My life took a huge turn when I was going through divorce as a filipino/catholic, which was what led me to doing the inner work to heal myself. I love sharing how I was able to get responsible for my own behaviour and release my ex-husband with no malice or trauma and as a result, only spent $80 for our divorce papers. I got my calling when I turned 40. I left my Job in Corporate Sales being top of the pack making $130k to pursue my passion of helping people heal and now creating the relationship and vocation of my dreams. I love talking about mindset, integrity, breaking the rules, entrepreneurship rollercoaster, forgiveness, fear, love, infidelity, family, the importance of having goals and knowing your core values and your purpose in this lifetime. I also love talking about the crazy stories of my life like: when I met the Queen of England, almost got arrested, and landed on the front page of a newspaper when I was 6 years old, and how that 6-year-old is who I want to be when I grow up.

I used to be miserable. I had spent my whole life exceeding expectations, and eventually landed a dream job at Google, tasked with responsibilities that felt so important that I could not fail. But a couple years later, I was working 8am to midnight every day, including most weekends, drowning in emails and meetings and tasks, feeling stuck with no idea how my life was ever going to change. Now my work is meaningful and inspiring to me, and I work when I choose. I spend quality time with my family, while still having time for my own pursuits. I am designing my own life, day by day, to create impact in alignment with my values. What changed? I realized I had a choice. I could keep going as I had been, letting my success be defined by the expectations of others. Or I could find a new path, one where I chose my own success. As part of redesigning my life, I became an executive coach, helping leaders grow their impact by sharing the principles and mindsets that I had used to change my own life. In November of 2023, I published a book, You Have A Choice: Beyond Hard Work to Meaningful Impact, to share that approach with a wider audience and help others start on their own journey of discovery and creation.

Book BRIEF - "8 Days Till Sunrise:  A True Story of Survival, Rebirth, and Discovering My Purpose in Life"

This is a story about a man going down a path he hadn’t intended to go down where he lost his way. He thought he was going through one of life’s difficult trials when he hit the side of a building at high speed in a skydiving accident. And that is when his real trial began. The accident left him in a coma for 8 days. He woke up from a coma to a badly broken body that required him to stay in the hospital for three and a half months, undergo 11 months of rehabilitation, and relearn to walk.  After being told by his doctor he may never be able to run again, he decided to sign up for a triathlon to test the doctor’s prognosis. Less than one year after the accident he completed a triathlon and proved the doctor wrong.  He relied on the foundation he built years before the accident to survive and recover.  He was guided by the scriptures and lessons from the Bible that he learned throughout his life.

The long journey to recovery from the accident allowed him time to reassess the direction of his life and answer the question why was his life spared. This second chance at life revealed to him a new purpose in life. He promised himself that he would share his story, and what he learned to help others that are going through difficult hardships in their own lives.

Who is Patricia in her own words:

I help professional women and men achieve FREEDOM CUBED by letting go of anxiety, pain or stress so they can experience peace of mind, balance in their soul and ease in their body. 
As a multi-passionate Human Archeologist and Soul Alchemist I guide them on a path to MORE fulfillment, MORE alignment, MORE peace of mind and MORE JOY.  I'm here to help amazing souls discover their true (healing) potential so that they CAN understand, shift and create the life of their dreams without physical or mental blocks. 

Why you should listen to me: Many years ago, I still had this stunning leadership position and an incredible career as a teacher and teacher’s trainer. I could deal with tough decisions, organize and deliver and literally go to the limits. But I didn't see that I was limitting my own potential. 

It was not until my body started telling me in a very painful way (mentally and physically) to listen to my heart’s and soul’s desires that I woke up. I decided to dig deeper and invite possibilities beyond the tried and tested. I asked myself how life can even get better than that even so I didn't know what that looked like. I have been working on my own liberation on a mental, emotional, phyisical and spiritual level for over 13 years. As a result of my personal evolution I dared to start a new and deeply fulfilling chapter in life. 

My mission is to disrupt patterns of shame, guilt and fear and help extraordinary women expand into their fullness. I am all about inner and outer GROWTH!

I absolutely feel the needs and wants of my clients and I am able to see the bigger picture. That’s why I invite them into my magical world of getting out of their heads and into their hearts so they can heal themselves when nobody else can.

My anti-coaching, unorthodox approach awakens all the senses and works on many levels.

Leanne is the Founder and CEO of Plauzzable, a live online entertainment platform for transforming engagement between comedians and their fans. Give and get laughs - LIVE stand up comedy from anywhere!

Originally from Waukegan, Illinois, Leanne studied comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade, the Magnet Theater, The Second City, and IO Chicago. In New York City, she wrote, performed, and produced her critically acclaimed one-woman show, produced and hosted a comedy open mic for over 7 years, and produced and hosted a weekly stand-up show.

In 2015 Leanne moved to California where she continued producing shows, opened an online store, and co-hosted a podcast. While it was fun, she missed the opportunities and connections that New York offered her as an aspiring artist. Because everything in California is so spread out, Leanne found herself spending more time on the freeway than on stage.

In August 2019 BC (before COVID), she began using existing technologies to host an online open mic. This allowed her to spend more time honing her skills and less time struggling with time and money. After a few months, her regularly participating comedians suggested that she charge them for the service. It was then that she knew she was onto something.

Leanne has earned a Master of Innovation & Entrepreneurship (MIE) degree at the University of California, Irvine. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Leanne is also a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and with CoachVille.

Vitola Strategies | Public Relations | Corporate Communications

Marketing & Communications pro and celebrated health coach Denise Vitola wakes up every day on a mission to make people feel healthier and stronger. A slew of awards, industry-wide admiration and years of personal and professional accomplishments are proof that she gets the job done.
A New Jersey native who studied in Italy and Greece before graduating from Rowan University, Denise kicked off her career in sports marketing at Alan Taylor Communications, where she immediately plugged in to the thrill of a fast-paced environment, high-profile celebrity clients, and travel to sporting events around the world. She jokes that she moved from the “locker room” of sports marketing to the “cheerleading team” of the tech sector when she started as Account Director at Kaplow. While developing innovative campaigns for iconic digital brands like PayPal, eBay and Netflix, her nimble thinking and inspirational leadership made it clear that Denise was more than a standout member of the squad; she was ready to manage the team. But unlike leaders who move up and away from the heart of ideation and execution, Denise was determined to remain a key creative player at every step of the development process.

That was evident when she moved to MWW as Vice President and Director of Sports Marketing, overseeing the Bank of America account. Denise developed landmark integrated marketing strategies like the award-winning “Keep the Change” campaign that invited passersby everywhere from Grand Central Station to NFL games to dive into a giant couch and find change that could be exchanged for prizes. At the same time, she continued to hone her signature leadership style: a risk-taker confident in her skills and her talent; deeply involved in every account, but knowing when to step back and let her team shine.

In 2006, Denise was recruited by Ogilvy to work on some of the biggest accounts in the marketing game: J&J, Unilever and TJX. She worked closely with powerhouse Barby Siegal, who, like mentors Jane Mazur and Maureen Lippe, taught Denise how to be fearless in her craft. She quickly found herself leaning in to untapped marketing opportunities in digital and social, certain it was the core of connection with consumers. It was at MSL Group that Denise applied the full power of her creativity and process to the #1 marketer in the world, P&G. She became a social media savant, taking big swings that led to big payoffs, and increasing revenue by over 80%. In 2013 Denise moved to MSL Atlanta, where she coached her team to create innovative digital campaigns for clients like Home Depot.

Returning to New York in 2014, Denise had an a-ha moment of her own: every day she was helping the world become stronger and healthier through marketing. She felt that brands had a responsibility to do just that. But what about her own passion for health and wellness…the joys of fitness, nutrition and teamwork that led her to work in sports marketing at the very beginning of her career? Denise made two big moves: she got certified in nutrition and as a health coach (Vitola Well); and she launched her own marketing consultancy, Vitola Strategies. Denise was not only well-ing the world, she was well-ing herself, and the result was transformational. In 2016 she won PR Campaign of the Year for Abbott Similac “Sisterhood of Motherhood”; and in 2017, she was named a Women’s Health magazine Action Hero. To this day Denise teaches three spin classes a week, unwilling to forgo the psychological and physiological boost that powers her body, mind and soul.

Many of Denise’s former clients followed her to Vitola Strategies; one of them, Patrick Lockwood-Taylor, put her on speed dial when he landed as President of Bayer USA. The closer she worked as a consultant with Bayer brands and embraced the Bayer tagline (“Science for a Better Life”), she realized she had found a place where her personal and professional insights aligned. In July 2021 she became Bayer’s VP Brand Integration PR, Social and Influencer for Consumer Health and quickly applied her proprietary process emphasizing social and digital consumer outreach, building Bayer’s digital footprint from a tiptoe to a tidal wave. Within months she launched nearly 100 influencer campaigns and award-winning integrative marketing campaigns like Midol’s “No Apology Period”, Aleve’s “Worst Golf Swing in America” with Charles Barkley, and T-Pain’s remake of the classic Alka Seltzer jingle, resonating with consumers and elevating Bayer’s market reach by the millions. In 2021, she was named a PRNews “Top Woman in PR”.

For Denise, well-ing the world goes far beyond what happens in the office (or outside of it – she’s a big fan of remote work). Like the influential female mentors in her own life, she works with young women to nurture their professional selves and shape their futures. She is the Co-Lead of GROW (Growing Representation & Opportunities) at Bayer, an employee network group focused on equal representation, leadership, and recognition; and she actively works to recruit a diverse team of employees that can speak to the health needs of diverse audiences. Of course Denise continues to follow her own passions: working out, teaching spin and walking her dogs near her home in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. She loves the beach and the great outdoors, reading war and crime novels, and traveling the world with her husband of over 20 years.

Creative and confident. Playful and proactive. Bold, badass, and a leader in the business of making people and communities healthier and stronger…that’s Denise Vitola.

"I have spent more than twenty-five years immersed in the practice of meditation. This span includes leading events of 100+ people both in-person and online. Through this time, I have also been a parent and partner, a teacher, author and competitive swim coach. In recent years, 'survivor' has been added to this list as I recover from a relationship with a dysfunctional spiritual mentor. 
This last piece lends a compelling and affirming sense of story to my discussion of meditation. Talking about what I went through in that relationship, speaking to how I am recovering from this experience, and sharing how all of this is animating my work in remarkable new ways communicates much to listeners. First, that turning toward the difficult in our lives can reveal fresh perspectives and direction to us. Second, that meditation has much to offer our ‘turning toward’ process.  

Put another way, all I’ve been through of late suggests that our lives - our lives as they are - hold an inner wisdom that has much to offer us as individuals and more. And meditation can play an important role in our deepening relationship with this wisdom, our deepening relationship with the path we are born to express. In many ways, these revelations now form the core of the story and work I’d like to share with you all"

In Mary's own words:

The most prominent origin in my story that led me to do what I do now, began in 2011 when I had the greatest epiphany three hours after I gave birth to my son. 
I knew in that moment that I would resign from my
company that I built from ground up in to a seven figure per annum business, give up the lifestyle I was living and start a journey within.

In January 2012, I resigned from my own company and embarked on a 12 month sabbatical to find out who I am.

I was fortunate to have two mentors to guide me on this inner journey. One of my mentors was a Professor in Philosophy from Oxford University, the other an expert in the emotional body.

During the twelve-month sabbatical, I came face to face with my TrueSelf realizing that I had gifts, talents, skills and traits that were unique to me. I fully accepted that I could do specific things with ease and grace and for the first time in my life I felt a deep sense of freedom.

I always had a unique approach to turning job titles into brands, I knew how to digitize business systems that were designed for the end user and I knew sales. When I merged these together, I could solve a complex problem in the world and that is when I transitioned into a coach and never looked back.

It took me three years to carefully craft my frameworks and design a system that delivers outcomes because my ultimate driver was to ensure that my clients got results in the shortest time possible.

Today, I get to call the problems I can solve with ease and grace my vocation and help Industry Experts turn their knowledge, wisdom and skills into a brand and a business so they become the go-to expert in their niche or industry.

In 1989, while pursuing a career in music in New York, Steven Rudolph took up a part-time teaching job to make ends meet. In his first class he had an epiphany: that he had an innate capacity to teach. Though he had no formal training, it was as if he already knew how to do it—as if he were a fish in water. 
The realization led him on a 21-year quest to India, where he uncovered 5,000-year-old secrets to self-understanding and achieving one's potential. Steven has taken those principles and crafted them into an easy-to-use, enjoyable program--Feed Your Tigers.

Steven lives in Cambodia where he serves as CEO of MNI, and explores how ancient Eastern wisdom can help people (and their tigers) become more aligned.
