In this solo episode of Coffee and a Good Vibe, Ayesha pulls back the curtain on the real story behind her move from Canada to Los Angeles at 22 — no family nearby, no U.S. credit history, no social security number, and no guarantee it would work out. She walks through the full journey of securing her E-2 investor visa, bootstrapping her PR agency Grow The Social from nothing, and building a life and career in a city that doesn't slow down for anyone.
But this episode goes way beyond logistics. Ayesha gets into the mindset shifts, the lonely seasons, and the non-negotiable belief in herself that made all of it possible. From pitching clients before she had a company to starting her podcast with just a camera and a dream, this is the episode for anyone who's ever wondered how she actually did it — and whether they could do something like it too.

Sal Di Stefano’s (@mindpumpdistefano) passion for fitness began when he picked up his first barbell at 13 years old. Any other teenager would have done a set of curls, but legend has it, Sal did squats. He was always different like that and it wasn’t long until everyone would notice.
At age 18, Sal started working as a personal trainer, becoming the youngest general manager at 24 Hour Fitness by 19. Not long after, he opened his own studio. Its reputation and success proved he was more than a personal trainer, but also a gifted businessman. And it was this entrepreneurial spirit that guided Sal to where we see him today.
He is the voice of Mind Pump, a published author, and one of the most trusted and respected faces in the fitness industry. Sal is an indispensable podcast host: the one who summarizes research when Justin and Adam trip over scientific words, the proverbial guinea pig when there’s a new peptide and the conductor trying his best to keep conversation on track when we all know it’s headed off the rails.
