About This Episode:

By the time she reached her late 20’s, Emily Pereira looked like she had the dream life. A senior sales rep selling what Time Magazine hailed as the revolutionary new treatment for cancer, living in a beachfront home with her longterm love who co-founded Myspace and invites to parties and events around the world. It sure looked good, but deep inside she knew something big was missing. A shocking heartbreak spurred a breakdown that became a radial personal, spiritual and creative awakening. Taking what she's learned she's become a lighthouse for other women, empowering them to create lives rooted in unapologetic permission, unabashed passion, and rock solid purpose.  Now, she is an international retreat leader, bestselling author of The Quest, and women’s coach specializing in helping women call in heart-thumping-passionate-I-got-your-back-no-matter-what-kinda love. Her raw vulnerable storytelling laced with mind-blowing a-ha's about women’s empowerment has reached over 5 million people worldwide, landing her speaking engagements at Wanderlust, Summit Outside, and Spotify to name a few. She lives in Santa Teresa, a seaside village along Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, with her partner, Manex and two small children, Saïa Moon and Teo where together they co-founded The Sunrise Mountain Retreat and Wellness Center.

About This Episode:

Viki Zarkin is the only person alive with this aggressive form of Stage 4 metastatic cancer for over 11 years. She was diagnosed in her 40’s when her doctor first told her to go home and get her affairs in order. At the time, she had two small children at home and was running her husband's dental practice. Viki spent the next several years fighting for her life, advocating for herself and navigating through the healthcare world, and following her gut.  Now, Viki is a beacon of hope as a national motivational speaker, coach, and author of I Am the One.  

She inspires women to change the way we have been programmed to think and emphasizes the importance of starting with young women on how to believe in themselves, challenge the status quo, find their voices, and listen to their hearts.  Viki’s can-do attitude inspires people to think differently in their everyday lives; by applying her unique thought process, deals can be made in a boardroom just as easily as they can help people through their cancer battle.

About This Episode:

Aaron Quinonez (Sgt Q) endured a rough upbringing before becoming a proud Marine right out of high school. He was trained to fight the enemy and was prepared for war.  When he volunteered for a combat tour in Iraq, little did he know his real battle would be fought in his mind.

After eight years of military service, Sgt Q suffered from depression, anger, and panic attacks and was diagnosed with PTSD. He nearly ended his own life in the parking lot of a church, where later he was redeemed by Jesus Christ, who gave him a new life.

Sgt Q traded the battlefield for the mission field and found healing and purpose through building homes and churches, feeding children, and supplying precious hope to struggling communities worldwide. God then called him to form QMissions, a pathway for veterans—Sgt Q’s fellow warfighters—to replace the battle scars of their minds with the joy of serving.

Now, Sgt Q is the award-winning author of Healing Thru Service

originally aimed at struggling veterans, which also offers help for anyone in crisis and may be one's ticket to a more fulfilled life. He went from being homeless and on the brink of suicide to starting the multi-million dollar company with over 100 employees, Reliable Commercial Cleaning, founding the veteran non-profit, Q Missions, and the health-tech startup, Q Actual 2.0.

About This Episode:

Luke Van Der Veer received an MBA in Human Resources and right out of grad school landed a highly sought-after position at General Electric as a Benefits Analyst. Although his family and friends congratulated him on getting a job with such a prestigious company, he hated it. Only one week into working at GE, he was already searching for a way to escape the corporate 9-to-5 grind.

Luke has been there and tried it all—affiliate marketing, network marketing, Facebook advertising and even selling products on eBay and Amazon. Although he got one of his side hustles up to $35K a month, he was still working seven days a week and reinvesting the money to grow his business. That’s when he came across a lead generation method called ""Rank & Rent SEO"" and spent thousands of dollars and months of his time refining the most effective system. By the six-month mark, he had entirely replaced his full-time income, finally quit his job at GE and has never looked back. He is now enjoying a flexible lifestyle without alarm clocks, bosses, or vacation requests.
