My guest, Florica Means, is the first polymath I’ve had on this show. She was born & raised in Romania. She escaped her home country in 1990, at the age of 36. Her story is incredible, which, even writing the word incredible, feels like I’ve cheapened the word a long time. I’ve done it justice

Not to mention he’s been featured in Forbes, Barron’s, VP at a big bank and has 4 kiddos! JR works with families to promote intentional communication and drive collaboration between all generations.
My podcast guest today is one-of-a-kind. Those are words I’ve never used to describe any prior guest. Strong words, you might say. Deserving, I’d throw back at you. Harry Corcell is someone I’ve liked and respected since we met in late 2000s working at Idera Software. I wish we’d met sooner. Yeah, that sounds like
My guest is James Corfield, who goes by Jim. Most James’ do. I’ll admit, I’ve never understood why. Maybe it has significant meaning. But when I don’t understand something of the sort, I’ll ask myself: Is it “worth a google?” Normally, this Jim / James dilemma would qualify [as worthy of a google]. After all,
My guest is Alla Bondarenko. She’s an art historian and gemologist from St. Petersburg, Russia. She works remotely for a Russian company in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.

No guest will be joining me for this episode. Instead, by popular request, I’m revisiting the blog post I wrote called: 40 Pieces of Life Advice for 20-Year Old Me. Positive feedback received from the article continues to be overwhelming, in the best way possible, and much appreciated. Tens of thousands of you have read
Mr. Donald Sperier is a 96-year old World War II Veteran who retired as a mechanical engineer in his 60s. These days, he still drives, attends Catholic mass every Sunday, and drinks coffee on his porch (some days in his robe till 2pm).

My guest is listener-favorite, Jerrard Parfait. Last time he was on the show—it was the most-downloaded episode of the year (2021). Parfait is someone I respect for his parenting style, relationship-building skills, compartmentalization of risk-taking (which is an underrated skill set btw). Not to mention he’s a smart man and great conversationalist. In this episode,

I’ve wanted Kurt Kristynik as a guest on the podcast for a long time. Interestingly, as Vice President of Buffaloe Floors, Kurt runs a 3rd generation family business—a bit of a black swan considering America’s startup craze. Thinking back. I’ve respected Kurt’s business acumen since the day I invited him to speak at our real estate
