On this episode of Coaching Call, Sifu Rafael welcomes Eric Holsapple, a developer, entrepreneur, and mindfulness leader who proves that success and stillness are not opposites, they are partners.

Eric Holsapple is a successful developer and entrepreneur who has used mindfulness to transform his life and business, and now helps others do the same. With a PhD in Economics, nearly 40 years as a real estate CEO and developer, 20 years lecturing real estate at Colorado State University, and more than 30 years practicing yoga and meditation, Eric brings a rare integration of boardroom strategy and inner awareness.

As the founder of Living in the Gap, Eric teaches CEOs and high-level professionals how to operate from presence instead of pressure. His workshops help leaders strengthen decision-making, reduce stress, and improve performance without sacrificing well-being. He demonstrates that merging business discipline with mindfulness is not soft, it is strategic. It impacts culture, clarity, and the bottom line.

In this conversation, Sifu Rafael and Eric explore what it truly means to lead from within. They unpack how mindfulness sharpens communication, elevates leadership, and aligns personal growth with professional excellence. This is about closing the gap between who you are and how you lead.

That’s where connecting with Sifu Rafael matters.

Absolutely. Here’s a more powerful, authority-driven version that clearly positions why connecting with you matters and how you help people get on stages and sharpen their speaking:

I’m excited to sit down with Gino Barbaro, an investor, business owner, educator, entrepreneur, and podcast host with four shows dedicated to building wealth, discipline, and long-term vision.

Gino’s results speak for themselves. He has grown a real estate portfolio that includes over 2,200 multifamily units transacted and more than $350,000,000 in assets under management. This is real execution, not theory.

Alongside his business partner Jake, Gino teaches others how to do the same through Jake & Gino, the premier multifamily real estate education community. Their students have closed more than 76,000 units and generated over $5 billion in deal volume. That level of impact only happens when mindset, systems, and leadership align.

Gino is also a best-selling author of multiple books, including Wheelbarrow Profits and The Honey Bee, where he breaks down the habits and thinking required to build long-term success. He lives in St. Augustine, Florida with his wife Julia and their six children, grounding high-level business in strong family values.

This episode goes deeper than real estate. We talk about visibility, influence, and why great leaders must also become great communicators. Opportunity doesn’t only come from what you build, it comes from how well you can articulate your mission, your message, and your value.

That’s where connecting with Sifu Rafael matters.
