Annie Talks

My guest on today's episode is Jasmine Wallace, the CEO, and mastermind of

Ku'uipo Creations, a one-stop shop of Polynesian hand-made men and women apparel, as well as other island-inspired products such as hats, coffee mugs, Keike (or children's) apparel, jewelry, hair trinkets, and many other products.

Jasmine, who loves to knit, crochet, and sew utilizes all these skills in creating special one-of-a-kind or hard-to-find items. She also has a passion for soapmaking and creating lip balms and lotions.

I love what she said about taking care of those in your support system because without them we couldn't do what we do best as entrepreneurs. I agree with you Jasmine one-thousand percent! I love that she utilizes her skills to create lovely one-of-a-kind or oftentimes hard-to-find items. She certainly has the creative eye to make them.

My guest on this episode is Mike Pecci, a critically acclaimed, award-winning film director. With over 18 years of experience, Mike has cemented a name for himself not only as a photographer and music video director but as an abstractly edgy filmmaker who is undeniably devoted to the art of storytelling. His characters are the faces of his work - passionate, emotional, and distorted stories are the basis for some of Mike's most well-received films.

His ability to touch audiences through his films is a credit to his commitment to understanding humanity. The work has an emotional quality that can both frighten and pull you in, playing off the darkest chasms of the human condition.

Here now is my conversation with Mike Pecci -- the life of a filmmaker, his thought process, and his passion for storytelling through his art.

So, if you've been listening to my podcast, you may have heard a few episodes where I talked with women entrepreneurs and learned about the power of being your own #bossbabe and #girlboss. The movement is real. The time is now, and more and more women are quitting their 9-to-5 jobs and going into business for themselves.

And if you're one of them, you know the struggles, trials, and tribulations that come with the territory. We often go at it by ourselves or we find out too late what we shoulda, coulda would've done. I know in my own journey toward entrepreneurship, I felt like the lone person on a deserted island without a friend or mentor to call.

Well, as luck would have it, I stumbled on a Facebook group called Women Helping Women Entrepreneurs led by Christina Rowe. There I found my guest on this episode, Michelle McNabb. I messaged her and we bounced ideas off of one another, we brainstormed, and one day, I just asked her to come on my show and talk about herself and her business and here she is!

Michelle is from the east coast, raised in Pennsylvania, recently moved to Southern Maryland, and is in New York City frequently. She’s a wife, dog-mom, and entrepreneur: wedding planner, bridal mentor & corporate event marketing strategist. She enjoys making Vlogs (which are videos for those not in the know) and meeting new people.

Michelle’s expertise is in corporate event marketing. Companies sell business to business or business to consumer however events are people to people connections. Michelle works with sales & marketing teams to build relationships through event strategy to attract, convert, delight and close through organic and event strategies.

Later in the episode, Michelle has a special, exciting and an exclusive announcement and all you listeners are hearing it first on this episode of Annie Talks so stick around to hear that great news!

The one takeaway from this discussion that I recommend to each of you: set goals for yourself and set them early. As you've heard, Michelle had a vision in mind, she knew where she wanted to be by the age of 30, and having met that goal a few years ahead of that target, she now set a new goal for herself. So the moral of the story is set one goal at a time, once you've achieved it, keep going. I love that!

My guest on this episode is Standup Comedian, Joseph Luna, aka 'Joe Elcholo.'

Joe hails from the infamous East Los Angeles area, then he moved to Fontana where he currently resides. Joe performs Spanish comedy and has opened for Pablo Francisco and Chris Fonseca. He's performed at all the big comedy clubs all over Southern California from the Ice House to the Improv.

In this episode, Joe opens up about his life living in East LA and how he's turned a bad situation into a good one. A near-death experience and the strong, unconditional love of his grandmother, were the catapults that changed his life around -- and it is Comedy that keeps him going today! He says, "Comedy is a crazy journey," but for this, he will always be grateful to Comedy and to all his fellow comics.

I hope you enjoy learning about Joseph Luna, aka Joe Elcholo. I believe you will find his story to be very inspirational and motivational. I really love how he turned a very grim and dark experience, into a positive one, thanks in part to God, his creator, his loving grandmother, and comedy.

Be sure to follow Joe on Instagram @joeelcholo and Facebook @Joe Elcholo.

My guest on this episode is Sandy Chasteen, a holistic health coach that focuses on helping people discover the connection between their physical disease and the emotional components underlying the issue.

Using essential oils and especially the Aromatouch Technique, the clinical application of 8 key essential oils and blends, Sandy helps people find natural solutions to their issues and create lifestyle plans for optimal healing.

She is also an active connector collaborating with other holistic practitioners while helping clients find additional healers to support them on their healing journey. You can find Sandy at sandychasteen.com and catch her on FB Live shows where she chats with a wide variety of holistic healers like herself sharing concepts, tips, and tools to help you live your best life ever!

I also wanted to share a very special personal story that happened immediately following my talk with Sandy. We were chit-chatting and one conversation led to another and somehow or another we got onto the subject of my back and muscle ailment that I was experiencing that day.

I pointed to my upper back and told Sandy my symptoms, and within minutes, she went to her library on her desk and pulls out this book, a manual of sorts and opens up to this page that basically described me to a tee. It was an emotional breakthrough for me in that it pinpointed some deeper underlying issues -- and Sandy mentions this throughout the interview, and it really wasn't until that very moment that I realize just precisely what she does.

She rubbed this amazing oil on my right back shoulder blade -- on the affected area. She told me I would start to feel it "working" in a few minutes, and let me tell you -- within minutes, I was feeling this amazing sensation, a tingling, warm, cool sensation and the thing that got me, was the equally amazing scent -- hence the Aromatouch she spoke very highly about. My drive home was relaxing and the rest of that evening was also relaxing. It was quite therapeutic! I only wished that I had my other side, my other shoulder, done at the same time. The point is, the Aromatouch works, the essential oils work! I highly recommend it.

Episode 32 - Annie Talks with Zumba Instructor and Life Coach Melissa Algoso

I met Mel about two years ago while taking one of her Zumba classes at a local 24 Hour Fitness. I absolutely fell in love with her Zumba class and her dance-style. She incorporates many dance “moves” from the ‘80s and ‘90s which is very nostalgic for me and doesn’t feel like “working out.” Her class transports you back in time, rekindles fond ‘old-school’ memories and makes exercising fun.

Hear about Melissa’s background as a professional dancer, thoughts on fitness and teaching, as well as her inspirational message of empowerment.

My guest on Episode 31 of Annie Talks is Mark Clinton - Public Address Announcer. I met Mark in 2009 where he was the Public Address announcer at El Dorado High School and had been the school's announcer for decades.

Mark has been announcing for 27 years now.

Today he is one of the PA announcers for the High A Minor League Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, a farm team for the Los Angeles Dodgers Organization.

Mark, who played baseball at El Dorado High School, tells the story of how an injury led to the start of his career as an announcer. His love of the game led to his gig as the resident PA announcer, thus opening up the doors to many other opportunities.

He's had the joy and pleasure of working with 4 different High Schools, (El Dorado, Orange Lutheran, Canyon & Murrieta Mesa), 3 different Colleges, (Fullerton, Santa Ana && UC Riverside), the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA)- Collegiate summer team, and 3 Minor League teams (Quakes, Storm & 66ers).

He has a simple approach to his craft: RESPECT EVERYONE.

It's very evident that Mark truly enjoys what he does, and and it definitely shows.

Here now is my conversation with Mark Clinton.

My guest on today's show is Comedian Vince Royale, a Jersey City native, who was always the class clown, though he never thought comedy would be his career.

Vince currently lives in Los Angeles, who he refers to himself as "the former homeless salesman turned stand-up comedian." He has appeared in the entire season of MTV’s “Bad Sex”, "Laughs" on FOX, FUSE TV's “Stand Up and Deliver” and presently on a TV show titled "Not for Nothin" on Amazon Prime and in a film "Attack of the Killer Donuts" on Showtime. Vince has been regularly performing throughout the Los Angeles area hot spots, New York nightclubs, and touring internationally for nearly a decade. Vince is extremely down-to-earth and full of charisma and he has an uncanny ability to turn the things he sees into hilarity.

Vince also performs as multiple sketch characters which he incorporates into his stand-up, parody music videos, and comedy sketch videos on social media networks.

He is humble and says that his passion for comedy and ability to do what he loves in front of an audience is indeed a blessing. Vince utilizes his talents to inspire and promote positivity. He organizes comedy and music events for fundraisers and donation drives to benefit orphanages and homeless shelters in the U.S. and abroad.

Upcoming performances and locations:

June 14-16: Jokers Comedy Club (Richland, WA)
