In this episode, I interview Nader Yassa. I've had the pleasure of knowing Nader for over 25 years and have watched him as CFO at corporate jobs, including CEO/CFO for one of the largest flight academies located in Arizona. Not to mention he lived on an airstrip with his plane at his house! He is a CPA from KPMG, one of the Big 4 CPA firms and spent time in real estate. Needless to say, he is a smart guy! But what really makes Nader stand out is his unwavering love for his family, for youth, for his church, for always giving back and for helping anyone and everyone with their personal finance journey. Nader currently lives in Texas building a ranch from scratch, has lived in multiple states and immigrated with his family from Egypt when he was young. His wife, Diane, and Nader started Sage Financial Strategies over 20 years ago to help couples and families with their personal finances. Sage has transitioned to LifeStyle Plan and he created live online classes for anyone to help improve their financial wellness on the platform Maven.

This week is with Andrea Hoban, who is an expert at getting the best out of you. She has facilitated, coached and trained thousands of people at companies of all sizes and directly with individuals. I also benefitted from her training while at Robert Half, where she worked for over 18 years. Andrea left and is co-founder of Oji Life Lab, which is an emotional intelligence company she founded with Mark Bracket who is the founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. Andrea thrives on growing businesses, influencing change, inspiring greatness, and helping others reach their highest potential. 

But during this conversation, we talk about the harder aspects of feeling big feels with the changing business landscape, facing things that may not be so pleasant, "embracing the suck" and trying to see through it with hope and optimism. We also talk about tunnel vs. expanded vision and the book "Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals" by Oliver Burkeman. This episode has two people who have been facing challenging times and are learning real time on what it means to truly see through it. Hopefully you too will be able to see you're not alone and gain the courage to keep moving forward.
