Ep. 210 - On Building Wealth & Living With Confidence (w. Allegra Moet Brantly)

Allegra Moet Brantly is an entrepreneur, speaker, podcaster and founder with the kind of zeroed-in focus that never fails to inspire us  always aim higher when it comes to setting goals. She remains an example of incredible drive to achieve as well as an unshakeable confidence to execute on her vision.
But don't be fooled - she didn't start out that way.
By her own admission, Allegra's time in her early 20s was spent more on climbing the corporate ladder and curating her LinkedIn profile than managing her finances.
Then, even though she was making a great salary, she was still living paycheck-to-paycheck...and she had no real savings or investments.
Not to throw in the towel, like so many do, and becoming disillusioned with the corporate world, she committed to putting in the work towards changing her ways and, slowly but surely, embarked on the painstaking and lonely overhaul of her money.
She eventually grew her net worth from -$18K to $1.1M. Not too shabby.
I love it when someone takes the lessons that life and circumstances taught them along the way and not only thrives as a result, but also chooses to generously pay it forward by sharing the wealth of knowledge acquired.
Which is why she set her sights on a simple, focused mission: to lead 1 million women to $1 million in net worth so more women can achieve financial freedom in their lifetime.
To do so, she founded Factora Wealth, an online course & community that educates and empowers women to build real wealth, together.
It was a true honor connecting with an individual with such a powerful message to share and a genuine mission to conquer. And I'm here for it.
On this episode, Allegra shares some wisdom from one of the most important people in her life, the importance of a solid financial education, our emotional relationship with money...and so much more.
You can connect with Allegra via LinkedIn, Instagram or the Factora Wealth website.
Be sure to check out and show love by listening/rating the Coffee & Coin podcast where Allegra welcomes an amazing roster of incredible and accomplished women on the same mission to empower more women towards achieving financial freedom.

Ep. 208 - Paint slinger, Mindset slayer (w. Jodie King)

Our wonderful guest today is straight-talking, fun-loving, rule-breaking, mess-making, sometimes cussing but always enjoyable spirit, Jodie King,
On top of being an incredibly talented and established artist, with a career spanning over 20 years, Jodie is also a professional educator, speaker, entrepreneur, podcaster and mother with her work having been featured in notable publications such as Forbes, Entrepreneur magazine and Vogue.
Jodie is a bonafide creative badass. A true avalanche of incredible energy and thoughtful wisdom when it comes to tapping into our inner creative and shamelessly letting it out. She is all too familiar with the weird feeling you get with as a day-to-day number-cruncher who has that itch to paint, sing, write, make pottery...but backs away from it thinking it's not for them. To put in her own words "It takes a special kind of courage to turn ourselves inside out and show it to the world."
Jodie's approach with helping her clients create what she calls "Honest Art" is very well aligned with her conviction that the “starving artist” idea is complete nonsense. She believes artists can grow in their creative field of choice and have their passion become a profitable, sustainable business.
I had such a fun sharing space with Jodie and getting to know more about her work and vision. This conversation did hit a really honest nerve where I am clearly reminded of the importance of staying true to your authentic self. And while she does not negate the fact that even though this does take some work on yourself, you should feel safe in realizing that it is not that complicated should you choose to accept the individual singular talent that lies within you. 
On this episode, Jodie dishes out the importance of recognizing your creative urges and fueling the, as they happen, not backing down on your authentic self, how knowing yourself is a keystone to your success and so much more.
You can connect with Jodie via her official website: www.jodieking.com
as well as Instagram(@jodie_king_), Facebook(https://www.facebook.com/jodie.g.king) or YouTube.
Be sure to subscribe and listen to the Honest Art podcast - available on all your favourite platforms.

Ep. 206 - Let Empathy Be Your Compass (w. Anita Nowak, PhD)

Empathy is defined as the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
I came across my next guest's content and mission through a wonderful podcast interview she gave on the topic. 
Anita Nowak is an empathy expert, author, award-winning educator, international speaker, podcaster and certified coach.
Her extensive work revolves around fostering empathy in individuals and organizations, recognizing that true understanding and connection require more than just feeling emotions; it involves cognitive empathy, which allows us to understand how others think and feel.
She has committed herself towards serving values-driven organizations dedicated to social impact and her incredible resume will attest to that.
She is the founder of Purposeful Empathy by Design, a global advisory firm that helps purpose-driven organizations create cultures of empathy and social impact.
In April 2023, she published the incredibly impactful book, Purposeful Empathy: Tapping Our Hidden Superpower for Personal, Organizational, and Social Change, which you should definitely check out. She also the host of the wildly successful Purposeful Empathy podcast, available on all major podcast platforms.
Given her incredibly accomplished career and thought-provoking insights on the matter, I loved how approachable and down-to-earth she boiled down something that she emphasizes should be a guiding compass for us all, not just as leaders or organizations, but as a people.
On this episode, Anita teaches us about the importance of being truly intentional when choosing to empathize with others, brings us much needed clarity in differentiating sympathy versus empathy, how to be more empathetic leaders...and so much more.

Ep. 205 - Tomorrow is not owed. Pay your dues. (w. Pedro Meneses)

 
Sometimes you just need a good dose of solid ass-kicking to get you going. 
In case you haven't heard me say it enough or maybe you might be new here, here's a reminder : this thing called life is not for the lazy, the weak or fans of excuses.
Simply put, if you want to really succeed, you are going to have to get used to the fact that whatever you want is going to require you to put in an incredible amount of hard work, consistency, focus and intent.
If do those few simple things, it's impossible for you not to execute on your goals.
These are but a few of the many lessons my next guest has learned and applied given his incredible and courageous journey.
Pedro Meneses was born and raised in Guatemala City. From a very young age, he always showed signs of independence, leadership, and great ambition. 

Thirsty for answers to his deepest desires and goals, when he turned 25, he decided to leave his native country, his family, and everything he knew to pursue a greater dream, purpose, and career as an entrepreneur.
Pedro is a natural-born leader, driven by passion, and always committed to delivering excellence to everyone he helps and surrounds himself with. He is best known for being someone bold in his actions and always speaking and leading with the truth. 
Beyond his love for helping others, he also runs a successful Real Estate Business in Dallas, Texas, alongside his beautiful wife, Kayla, where they dedicate themselves to helping others build wealth through Real Estate.
He is also the owner and founder of The Way Of The Modern Beast, a movement and online store to help men go from good to great through self-care and self-mastery. He is also the host of the Top-Rated Podcast for Entrepreneurs, Chronicles Of A Modern Beast, which you should definitely go check out and have a listen.
On this impactful episode, which I purposely delayed releasing, due to a personal news that he was not ready to share at the time of recording, Pedro pulls no punches and knocks us upside the head with his frank, heartfelt and authentic message on why we owe it to our unborn children to be the best version of ourselves, how you have to have a relentless faith in yourself in order to succeed, how the toxic people in our lives are robbing us of our purpose ... and some much more. 
This episode is a wake-up call. Don't get comfortable, and get ready to take notes.
