Christine Gabriel has an amazing story and a heart of gold. While attending college, she noticed she had a strong interest in social justice and fighting inequality. She felt the best course of action was to go into politics and work in the government. However, she soon realized that everything in the world is tied to money and she shifted her focus accordingly. She then decided to begin a career providing financial coaching to under-served communities. In fact, her life mission is to educate and uplift marginalized groups at the grassroots level ("boots on the ground"). These groups tend be ignored by most financial advisors and are untapped markets. You can feel the passion in her voice, it's incredible. You will be moved 100%. Unlike many who go into finance, her motives are truly altruistic and benevolent. She is not motivated by greed in the slightest.

After being a New York Times photographer for 7 years, he left it all to be a life coach. People thought he was crazy but I feel he's actually brave (and sane) for following his true calling. Danny brings a great deal of intelligence, honesty, and research to the coaching industry. His approach to coaching is different from that other coaches. Danny feels coaching provides accountability  for clients in ways that a book, blog or article cannot. As a NYU student, he coached a colleague into immediately living his life on his terms and not others. That experience spurred him on in his journey as he saw the positive, powerful impact coaching can have on one's life. He deftly describes how broad, effective and fast growing the industry is. However, he warns that due to limited regulation and low barriers to entry, the industry attracts a great deal of charlatans and hacks who know how to market and charge high prices. Danny offers great advice on how to find the right coach and avoid being scammed. Critical advice for anyone who is interested in seeking a coach. Danny also also expresses some criticism for the "self-help" book/guru industry. You will find Danny's views on competition, courage, locus of control, happiness, etc. to be enlightening. Danny's book/author recommendations should not be missed as well. I learned a ton of new information from Danny in this interview. You will to. Please reach Danny at fullframecoaching.com (Just google Full Frame Coaching)

As a financial advisor, Gene is the real deal with 25 years of experience. He works with high net worth individuals, corporations and CEOs. He has even took part in ringing the Nasdaq bell. He has seen and done it all. Only a few advisors ever attain even a fraction of his success. He is one of the smartest and inspiring people I know. He knows multiple languages. I am honored that a busy man like himself carved out some time in his busy schedule to be a guest on my show. How does an immigrant come to this country with nothing and knowing no one accomplish so much? It's because Gene understands the secrets of success and simply applied them. While in Communist Ukraine, he was inspired after reading classics written by Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie and others. He is shocked that most Americans don't know of this material and fully realize their potential. He believes folks need to drop their excuses in order to achieve their dreams. Gene loves this country because he understands that the free market capitalist system that operates here makes the USA the best country in the world. Gene's advice on networking and obtaining referrals is something that no professional should miss. Gene is a major "Center of Influence" and you definitely want him in your network. His life is filled with so many fascinating stories, that he could write a best-selling book if he wished. He talks about meeting Robert J. O'Neill, the navy seal who took part in eliminating Osama Bin Laden. He talks about his wife, a medical professional who serves on the front line fighting the invisible enemy of COVID-19.  You will be moved and tremendously inspired by his incredible, life story. The life lessons he imparts are critical for every human on Earth. For many, this episode is mandatory listening.  If you wish to network with Gene and/or utilize services,  please reach Gene at:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/genepanasenko/ gpanasenko@moseco.com (929) 2674877 You owe it to yourself to check out Gene's podcast/show on Spotify, Youtube, SoundCloud, Google, and Apple: STRAIGHT & UNFILTERED with Gene Panasenko https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9RJn-y8iYxMxLmhbtsebpA/videos

What would you call someone who leaves a secure, comfortable, promising, well paying career at  one of the 4 major accounting firms to set out on his own to be a spiritual and professional coach? Some would call him crazy, but I would say he is brave (and sane) for following his heart and mind. He did what many are too fearful to do. Since the time he took a sociology class as a student in Penn State, Jonathan has been studying personal growth, conscious creation, and art. He has even written a book, "What is the meaning of life?" Jonathan has been on an incredible journey that started by joining Bob Proctor & company and has taken him from Japan to Mexico. You will be immensely inspired by his life story.  Jonathan and I engage in a conversation that is deep and profound. He drops a great deal of knowledge when it comes to the areas of networking, self-discovery, listening, trusting yourself, thinking positively, balance, etc. As a coach, he sees himself as a "mirror" for his clients. He beautifully defends his industry from critics who may not fully understand the value that coaching provides, which he sees as an art as well as a profession. He goes over the process of how one should properly find a coach and how to be one if you wish. Jonathan knows the importance of maintaining key habits like meditation, visualization and affirmations. These habits have helped him in his own life tremendously. The books he recommends every human read is something you can't miss. There is a lot to learn and digest in this episode.

Lacey is on a mission to improve the financial livelihoods of her fellow citizens. She's been at it for over 10 years and she has certainly seen and experienced a lot. The advice and knowledge she drops in this episode is beyond vital but surprisingly new as well. Everyone can benefit from listening to her. She skillfully explains the importance of insurance, saving for your retirement, writing out a will, having health insurance, saving money, etc. and why people don't get around to doing this indispensable activity. You can feel the passion in Lacey's voice, particularly when she is talking about her firm Empire Wealth Strategies. She knows finance and loves talking about it. As a result, this episode is the longest of the bunch so far. Great record to have.  As a woman, she knows how to succeed in an industry that is dominated by men. She brings a softer, ethical approach to the world of financial services. She is looking to transform the image and reputation of the industry which is often perceived as high testosterone, aggressive,  criminal and dishonest. (Think "Wolf of Wall Street.") The stories she describes are moving, gut-wrenching, entertaining, and educational. Lacey knows the importance of networking and referrals as well. She goes into detail about the best strategies for building a rock solid network and arriving at a point where one relies mostly if not solely on referrals. The information provided by her is truly eye opening for anyone who sells anything, which is all of us. It's so important to have Lacey in your network. She is a key "center of influence" and hell of a financial advisor. Definitely reach out to Lacey (even just to ask a simple question) at (646) 432-7858 lconfer@ewsnyc.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/lacey-confer/

What can I say about Garrett Halsell? When it comes to business/marketing, he is one of the smartest, creative people I know. I learn more in one minute listening to him than most other people. He is someone who is on the cutting edge of what businesses need to stay in business. He knows more about business than business school professors because he is in the "trenches" everyday listening to business owners and helping to diagnose their problems. He works with businesses in all industries. If you own or know someone who owns a small business, he is the man to meet. He is one of the founding members of Vox Direct. I consider Garrett a "master networker" as well. He explains how most people's networking skills are subpar and how they can improve them.  Garrett's story starts when he leaves Texas to come to New York where he knew no one but he hit the ground running. He considers himself "selfishly selfless" and that is what drives him. Listening to his insights is quite a treat. You are in for an entertaining, as well as educational interview. I consider him a major "center of influence." You definitely want him in your network.  You can reach Garrett at Text garrett  at (844) 267 6492 https://www.linkedin.com/in/garretthalsell/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC1meIXTgiEuxDTHM6D4-2w

How does a single mom of 3 kids maintain her laser focus while helping people in the realms of health/wellness, hair, make-up, skin care, weight lifting, etc. through her "solutions-based business"? We interview Za Gagliardi in order to find out. Her story is as inspiring as she is bold. It starts off as a tale of a young girl not knowing what she wants to do blossoming into a strong, independent woman who knows how to take control of her life so she can fully obtain what she wants. Za knows many of the secrets of success and she is gracious enough to share it with us. We are blessed. Za goes into detail about how she started her incredible journey. As a young child, she loved beautifying her friends by being their barber. So she decided to parlay her talents into a career in the beauty industry. However, she wanted more, she wanted to be her own boss, as she explains, being a salon employee is tough. She loves the time freedom that owning your own business provides. Get inspired by her ability to overcome adversity like a divorce, pandemic, and sexism. Za goes in to detail about the sexism and harassment  she faces as a female entrepreneur from chauvinists who waste her time. She found a simple "solution" to that issue. We were lucky that she decided to regale us with some of the funniest and most moving stories from her career.  One story in particular leaves us both laughing hard. She educates us about the untapped, recession-proof gold mine that is the make up industry and health and wellness. Her most important lessons are what it takes to succeed. You have to listen to find out.  Za can be reached me at  za.za.927@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/za.Gagliardi https://www.makeitglitter.net

Immigrants who have the courage to leave their countries and come to the USA to seek and capture success have always been inspirational role models to me and others. So I definitely want to introduce the world to Arjun Pateel. He left his home of India to achieve his dreams of success in the capital of the world, New York of course. He did face setbacks like losing his job during the pandemic in the hard hit hospitality industry. He also spent money and time on the goal of developing a travel start up. That dream was also upended by the COVID-19 plague as well. He overcame all those setbacks by deciding to become a real estate agent and entrepreneur. A decision he does not regret, as he has found success in this endeavor working with Keller Williams NYC, the most well known brand in real estate. He knows the market inside and out, the current trends, etc. He explains why real estate is such a great investment. He shares his valuable insight with us on the current state of affairs and where things may go in the future. His ultimate goal is to start his own brokerage firm. Once you are familiar with his drive and work ethic, you realize that is a mission that will definitely get accomplished. He knows what it takes to succeed in a profession that sees over 90% of folks quit and fail during the first few years. He details the competitive advantage he possesses as an agent.  The life lessons he shares during this episode  are truly remarkable and can help anyone attain their dreams. He knows how far one can go with the right kind of teamwork and the best mentor. The critical advice he provides on networking is something all of you will find helpful. He is definitely someone you need to have in your network whether you want to build a relationship with an incredible person or if you (or someone you know) needs to buy/rent a house or apartment.

If you're an artist (or know an artist) who wants to take their career to the next level, Bryan Glick is the man to meet. The self-identified "Covert Connector" has helped connect budding artists to industry knowledge, providing them the necessary resources to grow their careers for the past decade. Bryan Glick's life story is simply an inspiring tale of personal growth, from an introverted, small town guy to an extroverted liaison to famous entertainers who has traveled extensively around the nation to learn all the tricks and tips of the industry in order to relay that information to artists to help make their job easier. He has also pitched his ideas to Shark Tank. How cool is that!  He is remarkably a fan of all types of music, as music is his #1 passion. He builds relationships with local politicians to ensure that the arts are not neglected. Bryan has spearheaded the "Visionary Initiative" with the goal of revitalizing the arts. He talks extensively about this initiative during the the interview. Bryan has worked with artists like Kendra Black and Teena. While working with Kendra, they landed an exclusive performance slot at Nashville’s SpringBoard Festivals where he connected her to two-time Grammy award winner and author Thorton Cline. They now collaborate on numerous projects. Kendra runs her own clothing line, performs nationally, and has performed with Snoop Dogg on her track “Rude.” He discovered Teena, a 19-year-old singer-songwriter, busking in Penn Station. He has since taken Teena from street-side songstress to performance powerhouse, as she’s now tackled Long Island’s most prestigious venues, opened for pop icons like Aaron Carter, and toured at world-class music clubs like Los Angeles’ Viper Lounge. He was also involved with the South by Southwest music festival before the things in the industry took a turn for the worse. He has since turned crisis into opportunity and is thriving as a result.

My name is Luke. I was born and raised in New York. People have always told me that my voice is deep, rich and amazing. People would tell me on the phone and in person that it was pleasant to listen to me. They told me I needed to find a way to parlay my voice into a lucrative career. Folks suggested I seek a career on radio, do voice-overs, get into broadcasting, etc. I never followed through with that until I started hosting my very own radio show (my podcast of course). This is only just the beginning. I am finally sharing my gift with the world by putting my voice to good use. I also love helping and educating people in any way that I can. So I decided to do this show to help guests promote themselves and for listeners to educate themselves as well. I know you will find the show to be entertaining as well. If you wish to be a guest on the show, please reach out to me. Thank you for listening!
