Do The Thing

Mistakes happen to everyone. Entrepreneurs are no exception. But instead of anchoring your wrecked boat in one place, what if you sailed the world?

I chatted with Josh Grillo, President of Resident360, about learning from your failures and picking up the pieces in the worst-case scenarios. Realizing he could run a business better than his current employer, he started his first million-dollar company while still in his 20s. But he lost it all when the market crashed in 2008. Instead of throwing in the towel, he relied on a positive mindset to figure things out and fine-tune what he had.

Here's how Josh him rock bottom with only $2,000 in the bank, lost a huge whale, and still did the thing to build a successful marketing agency. 

People spend their entire lives searching for their purpose, their one true calling. But what if you lived in the now and found multiple purposes along the way?

Today I chatted with Jaden Rae, best-selling author and founder of Steamy Kitchen, about how curiosity and novelty fuel everything she does. Always one to seek out new experiences, she adds energy to her life with simple pleasures.

Here's how Jaden did the thing, became a successful blogger before Instagram existed, and why magic mushrooms are now on her radar.Learn more about Jaden www.jadenrae.com 

Everyone has goals, ambitions, and dreams, but many don't follow through because of self-doubt. However, life is full of infinite possibilities. What if you set aside your fears and just did the thing?

I had the chance to speak with Alicia Reynoso to discover why she's no longer afraid to take risks in life and encourages everyone to go after their goals. Growing up, she always wanted to create an online brand with a purpose. But she kept pushing aside this dream. After finally jumping in and overcoming a flop, she ultimately built a business that genuinely inspired her audience.

Here's how Alicia pushed aside self-doubt to launch a business, transformed her customers with a 60-day hydration challenge, and why she now helps other e-commerce brands do the thing.

The brain captures 11 million bits of information per second, but you can't focus on that much at once. How can you filter out and highlight what's actually essential in your life?

Today I had the pleasure of speaking once again with Dr. Nancy De Andrade, a Holistic Life Coach and my personal guide, about whether or not I should jump back onto social media or reach my audience through another avenue. Learn her processes for identifying intention, finding clarity, and breaking down internal barriers so that you can conquer and do anything you desire.

Here's why Nancy believes it's essential to stop speaking a limited language and focus on possibilities to do the thing.

In this episode, Nancy explains how to expand your mind and follow your heart with these points of the Do The Thing Formula:

Your smile is the first thing others notice about you. Everyone deserves a confident, beautiful set of pearly whites. But who says visiting the dentist can't be fun?

I had a blast chatting with Dr. Catrise Austin, "The Queen of Smiles," about her unconventional rise to greatness in the dental industry. Growing up, she hated her smile. Bullies constantly made fun of her spaced-out, flared teeth, but a surprise visit to the orthodontist changed her life for good.

Here's how a much-needed set of braces inspired Catrise to become a dentist to the stars, launch a teeth whitening business, and become a branding coach for entrepreneurs ready to do the thing.Learn more about Dr. Catrise www.drcatriseaustin.com 

Imagine building a successful company, only to have a national economic crisis shut it down for good. How do you pick up the pieces and start over?

I sat down with Jeff Bush to find out how he navigated this very situation. A background in sales led him to launch a mortgage company, but when the housing bubble popped in 2007, bankruptcy was his only option. Determined to feed his kids, he did the thing, started another business, called 100 leads each day, and had his dream exit.

Here's how Jeff overcame the worst financial loss possible, built a sales company in his barn, and bought a thriving wedding venue in the middle of Covid. 

Taking the first step to try something new is exciting and rewarding. But what if you don't really care about the thing once you do it?

I got personal with Damien Law of Effin' Good Snacks to learn what makes this brand better than his first. After googling healthy late-night food options, he saw a need for tasty snacks people actually wanted to eat. Would a previously failed yoga business keep Damien from going after his melatonin-filled dreams?

Here's how this 21-year-old entrepreneur identified a problem, baked up a solution, and launched a brand in the middle of a pandemic (with a little help from TikTok).Get some of Damien's delicious cookies here: www.effingoodsnacks.com 

It's easy for the strongest people to show up for others, but sometimes the strong ones are unnecessarily silent. How can you catch a breath while drowning in plain sight?

I sat down with Brenda Warren, The Soulutionist and creator of TAPIN MethodTM, about picking yourself back up after hitting rock bottom. As a United States Marine Corps veteran, she's seen her share of hits and misses. After several adversities collided at once, a call to a crisis center talked her off the ledge and reaffirmed her desire to help others in similar pain.

Here's how Brenda's strategic plan will help you overcome any barriers and live unapologetically unstoppable.You can learn more about Brenda at www.brendathesoulutionist.com and Instagram @Brendathesoulutionist 

All too often, people focus on the negative things in their lives. But it's possible to find enjoyment in every experience—no matter how seemingly mundane. What could you do to make each moment more pleasurable?

Stepping out of my comfort zone, I got personal with Genesis, an erotic blueprint breakthrough coach, about how to set your mind and body free. Always looking on the bright side, she teaches others how to find and create pleasure in all things. Here's how she uses a positive mindset, self-love, and five erotic blueprints to achieve a deeper knowledge as she does the thing.

Making an impact and improving lives doesn't require fame, flashy gadgets, or wads of cash. Time, passion, and a big heart are all you need. But does volunteering only a few minutes each month actually make a difference?

Today I sat down with Tomasa Velediaz, a real-life community superhero, to learn the answer. Growing up in Mexico, she often found herself begging for food. As a teenager, she moved to this country, ready to work hard and improve her life. And she decided to teach kids an important lesson about the environment in the process. After all, sometimes the simplest projects move the biggest mountains.

Here's how Tomasa did the thing to clean up her community and why she encourages others to follow their hearts and do the same.Learn more about Bayside Community Center here: https://www.facebook.com/BAYSIDECOMMUNITYCENTERLV
