#346: Veteran, TEDx Speaker, & Growing Art Internationally with Jason Mathias
I haven’t been everywhere yet, but it’s on my to-do list. I have visited a fair bit of the world, though, witnessing it all with the skepticism of a native New Yorker. My first years in the military reshaped me. The New Yorker in me got pummeled. I learned. Traveled. Relearned. That became my habit. When complacency sets in, I know it’s time to move again. Along the way, I learned first the camera, and later the pen. Today I carry both and they war with each other for my attention.While stationed at Eielson Air Force Base, I faced skepticism about my solo backcountry hiking in Alaska. “No picture, no proof.” Photography solved that problem. Since then, that knack for documentation has bloomed, wintered, and bloomed again. I now define my photography as having two distinct themes: Comfortable Isolation and the Aria. I have been mastering skills but also crafting my art as a cameraman into a vision that is personal and wholly my own.Welcome back to That Entrepreneur Show!

#345: Giving Daily Gifts and Publishing Dreams with Teresa Velardi
Welcome back to That Entrepreneur Show! Host Vincent A. Lanci recently had his 7th book release and 2nd as a Co-Author. The publisher behind the release, 10x Author and Founder Authentic Endeavors Publishing, Teresa Velardi, is here! If you enjoy this episode, please rate the show 5 stars and subscribe for future episodes with top-performing entrepreneurs!   Meet our Guest: Change is the one thing we can always count on  (whether we like it or not). All of us, at one time or another, experience change. It is an ongoing process; life itself is a continuous transformation. The last few years are living proof. In addition to being a coach, I am also a potter. The process of making pottery is such a great illustration of transformation. A ball of clay becomes a work of art!I’ve come to believe that personal and business growth comes from the willingness to do things differently while being open to all possibilities in the transformation process. More often than not, when we think life couldn’t get any better or any more uncomfortable, something brings us to the next level of our growth, just like the strengthening of the clay in the fire. Afterward, we realize it all had to unfold exactly how it did to live our most authentic lives. Many of us have to reinvent ourselves in many areas, and I can help you get to where you need to be.  -You can enjoy her most recent episode on Writing with Authors here!-Publisher/ 10x Author/ Editor Teresa Velardi Joins the Writing with Authors-She also had the courage to share her journey on A Mental Health Break -Check us out on social media @ThatEntrepreneurShow on all platforms, and visit www.vincentalanci.com for more show and guest information. -Have a question for the host or guest?
