In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Katrina Kelly a dear friend of mine and collector of experiences.  All jewelry tells a story– and Katrina Kelly’s designs tell the story of a journey of fun, love, light, lore, wisdom, and magic. Katrina Kelly is known for her Fine Jewelry Wands– called Wisdom Wands®. These gold charms are designed to help light up your world and remind you to always welcome magic & wisdom into your life! Share & Wear Wisdom® all wands come with a quote of wisdom shared by the designer Katrina Kelly. Captivated by fine jewelry’s intrinsic, mystical, and symbolic attributes, Katrina creates a classic jewelry style that fuses these ideas and combines fine intricate mastery. The jewelry has an ancient, heirloom and cultural feel, enlivened with a flare of modern whimsy. Katrina Kelly studied jewelry design at Le Arti Orafe in Florence, Italy– and worked at Urart, a Turkish jewellery company that reinterprets the region’s rich past with a modern perspective by appropriating styles from the Ottoman, Byzantine, Seljuk, ancient Sumerian, and Phrygian cultures. She studied Iconography for her Masters in Art History, won Archeological travel and Art History fellowships for her research, and is an Adjunct Professor of Art History and Humanities. She takes cues and inspiration from all these experiences and translates her findings into enchanting golden treasures inspired by ancient wisdom and the magic of wand iconography– and her belief in always seeking and sharing wisdom. And, of course, her love for all things that sparkle and shine. Her jewelry collection uses responsibly sourced precious gemstones. The gemstones Katrina chooses represent the beauty of the earth that have been tested by time, pressure, and fire. The gold they are bound in symbolizes the light of the heavens and the cosmos. “Wisdom is knowing how magical you are– and being brave enough to let it light up the world.” Katrina Kelly Jewelry Katrina Kelly, Fine Jewelry Designer | Adjunct Humanities and Art History Professor Fine Designer Jewelry that speaks to your soul – a multi-themed collection embracing light, lore, wisdom and magic.  www.katrinakelly.com Social: Instagram  Wisdom Wands® Jewelry that celebrates fun, love, wisdom and magic!

If you’re stuck and don’t know where you should go from here, this episode is definitely for you. Mike Zeller helps high achievers uncover and pursue their life’s work. Instead of living with the soul ache of missing out on their deepest work and wondering what could I have done? Where did I mess up? Or why do I not feel more fulfilled? Mike has three steps for doing that: 1.Find your zone of genius of where you kickass and avoid the areas your suckass. 2.Develop a pathway to monetize and build a sustainable business around your zone of genius. 3.Design your life around your zone of genius and your pathway to monetization. While Mike's businesses have done millions in revenue over the years, he's also made more than a million dollars in painful mistakes. And he wants to other entrepreneurs avoid the mistakes he's made. He’s invested in or started more than 15 different businesses in a variety of industries, from real estate, fashion, automotive, to digital marketing, and high level entrepreneur masterminds. He’s also a master NLP practitioner, which is the core methodology of Tony Robbin’s.
