EPISODE 112: From Clean Tech to Self-Storage and Investing in Yourself with Jon Keeney
In this brand-new episode, I sit down with Jon Keeney, co-founder of Quick Lock Storage, to unlock the secrets behind the flourishing, yet often unspoken-of self-storage industry. From Jon's unexpected transition from clean tech and electric vehicles to his mastery of a market that safeguards everything from family heirlooms to the most bizarre keepsakes, we uncover the layers of a business that's as much about memories as it is about square footage. Join us as we navigate through abandoned treasures, the nuances of 24/7 automated access, and the nitty-gritty of what happens when storage bills go unpaid. As we meander through the realms of real estate and entrepreneurship, Jon and I reveal the essence of adaptability and the art of seizing opportunities within the dynamic property investment landscape. From flipping houses to diversifying across various rental investment strategies, we bare the truths about knowing your strengths and the importance of continuous learning beyond the traditional confines. And for a taste of something different, we'll also rev up the conversation around electric vehicles, the challenges of the electrical grid, and the intriguing potential of vehicle-to-grid technology.

EPISODE 111: Riding the Entrepreneurial Rollercoaster of Isolation with Ross Stockdale

EPISODE 111: Riding the Entrepreneurial Rollercoaster of Isolation with Ross Stockdale
Every entrepreneur knows the unique blend of exhilaration and exhaustion that comes with the territory—it's like riding a rollercoaster with no one else in the car. That's why I'm excited to have Ross Stockdale, my friend, neighbor, and former client who's mastered the art of solopreneurship and fractional CMOship, sit down with me to share the peaks and pitfalls of his own venture. We tackled the seldom-spoken reality of entrepreneurial isolation head-on, dissecting those moments when setting sales goals feels less like a business strategy and more like a plea to the universe. Ross's gets candid about striving for balance in the relentless tempo of business life, offering both solidarity and strategy for fellow independents navigating this path. Then there's the silence of loneliness that haunts many entrepreneurs—a topic we both had more than a little to say about. With a mix of humor and vulnerability, we shared our own brushes with doubt and the bizarre reality of feeling alone in a sea of to-do lists. Ross lets you in on how Brazilian jiu-jitsu has become an unexpected ally in the fight against the entrepreneurial blues, proving that sometimes, the best business move is to step out of the office and onto the mat. We wrap up with reflections on the juggling act of work, family, and the quest for self-care.  Ross and I reveled in the freedoms and successes unique to the self-made path—like firing clients who don't spark joy and choosing projects that align with our deepest values.

EPISODE 110: Exploring the Science of Weight Wellness and Hormones with Dr. Caissa Troutman
Welcome to the first episode of season 3!  Today, we're approaching the thought-provoking journey through the complexities of obesity, wellness, and the power of mindset. In this enlightening conversation with Dr. Caissa Troutman, owner of Weight Remdy in Camp Hill, PA.  Dr. Troutman shares her innovative plan that equips patients with the tools to achieve sustainable weight loss, better sleep without medication, and manage menopause by focusing on understanding the role hormones play in all of it. We even touch on my personal venture into a 72-hour fast and how it relates to overall health, far beyond just shedding pounds. Listen in as we tackle the true definition of obesity, emphasizing its hormonal and biological underpinnings, rather than the outdated notion of personal failure. Dr. Troutman and I discuss the medical complexities of obesity, from genetic predispositions to the crucial role of adipose tissue as an endocrine organ. By understanding the significance of even modest weight loss for reducing disease risk, we shine a light on the need to look beyond BMI and aesthetics, to the substantial health implications of obesity. We also explore the delicate hormonal dance affecting weight and metabolism, revealing insights into hormones like ghrelin and leptin, and their critical role in our health and well-being. Finally, we delve into the role of culinary medicine in patient care and the importance of sustainable nutritional changes for long-term health benefits. I share my passion for cooking as a stress reliever and the ways in which I integrate this into patient care through cooking demonstrations and mindset sessions. We conclude with a discussion on the value of fasting, not only as a weight loss tool but also for metabolic health, while underscoring the importance of adopting a positive mindset during life's challenges.

We are BACK with the next episode in the Don't Follow Me series, all about why hustle culture doesn't work and how to get out of it, or even prevent getting sucked in to it.  Guest host, Steve Trott is in the hot seat, along with our special guest, Lancaster HomeGirl, author, and real estate investor, Christina Diehl!  There's a myth that constant hustle is the key to success and this episode is a thought-provoking conversation that may just redefine wealth and happiness for you. We share stories from the industry perspectives of real estate and construction, revealing how a more balanced life approach not only preserves sanity but can also propel your career forward. We also explore the effects of rejecting the relentless grind in favor of strategic work and personal well-being including the luxury of choosing clients, the benefits of taking time to recharge, and how these choices contribute to both professional satisfaction and a higher quality of life. Finally, we challenge the conventional equation of wealth with financial gain, opting instead for a more personal definition. We talk about wealth as the control of one's time, the value of nurturing relationships, and the importance of personal growth. Christina, Steve, and I come together on the idea that wealth is not about the hustle; it’s about making intentional choices that sculpt the life you truly desire.

EPISODE 103: You Saw My Post, Why Didn't You Like It? Guest Host: Steve Trott for the Don't Follow Me Series
Ever had that moment where you refresh your feed obsessively, waiting for that one 'like' to validate your post? That's where Steve Trott and I found ourselves, entangled in the digital web of social media engagement. On our latest podcast episode, we peel back the layers of online interactions, discussing everything from the peculiar psychology behind our digital behaviors to the intricacies of 'like' culture. Together, we laugh, commiserate, and offer insights into why your friends might be ghosting your latest selfie. Amidst our chatter, we share personal accounts of how the hunt for virtual thumbs-ups can distort the way we view ourselves. It's not all fun and filters, though; the conversation turns to the weightier side of social media as we scrutinize the depth of engagement. Do comments hold more clout than likes? Can the time of day make or break your post's success? And why do we sometimes engage out of habit rather than genuine interest? Steve and I tackle these questions head-on, candidly revealing our own strategies for navigating the tempestuous seas of online presence. As we round off the episode, we pivot to the heart of the matter: authenticity. Are we curating our feeds for others, or are we staying true to our unfiltered selves? From sharing content with purpose to resisting the siren call of endless scrolling, we explore ways to maintain an intentional and meaningful digital footprint. And as our global community tunes in, we're reminded of the power of real connections, even in a virtual world. So grab your earbuds and get ready to rethink the way you click, comment, and connect.
