As you will discover, her path may have not been a straight line to her owning her own business, but as the title suggests – once an entrepreneur, always an entrepreneur. www.authsocial.com

Years ago I read a book titled “Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway”. In this book author Susan Jeffers explored what we fear, why we feel it, and what to do differently. As human beings, we have the potential to be anything we want - but that thing called “fear” often gets in the way and stops us. In this episode I am proud to introduce Sasha Rhee, who as of this recording is just a few months shy of her 16th birthday. As I have gotten to know Sasha I have found her to be quite a remarkable person and wanted to chat with her about the decision she made at 11 years old to join a CrossFit gym - yes you heard me correctly - 11 - and her journey over the last 4 years. This is a story about determination, self-discipline, and how fear can positively drive you in life to accomplish your goals.

In this episode we will be discussing how to successfully pivot in times of crisis, the pandemic of 2020 forced many of us to re-engineer almost everything about our lives - from careers to relationships, raising children, and our own mental health.  I am thrilled to be talking to Ashley Wasilenko - content creator, business owner, mom, and wife who had to do just that.  She will share her strategies and approach that helped her through. I think you will find her story and framework for success very relatable and helpful.Instagram @cookingfullcircle

In our fourth conversation around entrepreneurship, I had the pleasure of chatting with Joe Racamato, President and CoFounder of Silex Financial Group, LLC., a residential and commercial mortgage broker based in Northern NJ. Joe has the characteristics of a prizefighter.  He never gives up, willing to do whatever it takes to make the business run and be successful. He runs his company with lean overhead and a singular focus on meeting his clients’ needs. In fact, he started his business in the midst of the worst recession this country has seen since the Great Depression of the late 1920s-early 1930s.What I continue to uncover in these conversations is like the other entrepreneur’s I have spoken to, Joe’s dedication to his customers, willingness to take risks and determination to overcome any and all obstacles is what sets him apart.  I hope you enjoy this interaction as much as I did and that you continue to see why I enjoy meeting business owners like Joe - their character and determination are unmatched!www.silexfinancial.com

In my ongoing conversation around Working from Home, I am thrilled to launch a new Zoom conversation with 4 terrific women on this topic.  We discuss the adjustment to staying at home, balancing workload, young children, partnership and well being.  These women were generous with their honesty on what has worked and was has not and how they have managed through. I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I enjoyed the conversation.

Welcome to the third in our series on entrepreneurship.  In this episode, we chat with Dr. Sam Rhee, a certified- plastic surgeon in Northern NJ.  So you may be thinking  -  what would entrepreneurship and a plastic surgeon have in common based on the first two conversations we had? Well -  Sam’s journey and experience are unique - and what you will discover is that although a talented and respected surgeon - at the end of the day, when it came to breaking out on his own- the experiences he had and the way he addressed them - were the same as any driven and successful entrepreneur.  You will appreciate his humility, determination, and honesty.  I hope you enjoy his company as much as I did.-HeidiP.S.  You can also listen to his podcast - Botox and Burpeeshttps://www.bergencosmetic.com/
