In this week's episode of The Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Penny Goffman — an innovative entrepreneur, community builder, and strategic experiential storyteller whose work has transformed the way brands connect with women through purpose-driven experiences.

Penny is the former Head of Community at HeyMama, where she fostered deep connections among entrepreneurial mothers nationwide through curated events, partnerships, and programming. She previously built, scaled, and sold Jolie Gotique, the first mobile fashion boutique of its kind in Fairfield County, and has served as a stylist and emcee for iconic brands including Bloomingdale's, Lord & Taylor, Alice + Olivia, and Athleta.

Her work and voice have been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Greenwich Lifestyle Magazine, Greenwich Magazine, Westchester Family, HeyMama, and on multiple podcasts including That Greenwich Life with Dorothy Simone.

In this deeply reflective and energizing conversation, Penny opens up about:

✨ Growing up in Montreal and fearlessly transitioning into the New York City fast-paced world ✨ Shifting out of finance into entrepreneurship and motherhood with purpose ✨ How Jolie Gotique became a community-driven fashion movement — and why it succeeded ✨ The lessons she learned leading community for hundreds of women nationwide ✨ The power of showing up with purpose (and what really happens when you do) ✨ Knowing your value — especially as a new entrepreneur ✨ Why routine, alignment, and "boring" sacred rituals keep her grounded ✨ Building female-led communities that elevate, connect, and transform ✨ The importance of self-inquiry, shadow work, and looking "under the hood" to find true purpose ✨ How to navigate relationships, boundaries, energy, and maintaining authentic connections ✨ Why purpose, for her, is rooted in deep connection — with self, family, work, and home

Penny's wisdom is honest, grounded, and refreshingly real. If you're a purpose-driven entrepreneur, a community-builder, or a woman seeking deeper clarity, this episode will hit home.

In this episode, Adam sits down with Marcel Robert, a chef and entrepreneur whose story is shaped by cultural diversity, curiosity, and the courage to follow his passion. Growing up in Port Chester with a Dutch-Surinamese father and a multi-ethnic mother, Marcel was immersed in different perspectives from an early age. His father's example as an immigrant who built a business from the ground up instilled in him the value of hard work and accountability.

Marcel shares how his academic path shifted from engineering to political science to anthropology, before he found his true calling in the kitchen. Cooking, he explains, wasn't just a skill — it was the one place that gave him energy, focus, and joy. That passion ultimately led to the creation of Belle Hill Dining, his private dining company, launched in the wake of COVID. Marcel reflects on the challenges of starting a business, learning patience when traction was slow, and building consistency in both craft and mindset.

This conversation explores themes of cultural identity, resilience, and the importance of trusting your instincts when charting a new path. Marcel's journey reminds us that purpose often emerges when we combine our roots, passions, and persistence.

In this episode of The Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Maria Camila Medina—a Colombian-born entrepreneur, beauty queen, and the founder of MCM Marketing Firm. Her journey is one of resilience, reinvention, and unwavering faith.

Camila moved to the U.S. at age 12, navigating culture shock, language barriers, and bullying while holding on to the deep family roots that shaped her. After earning a marketing degree and spending over a decade in car sales, she faced a devastating season of labor abuse that led to depression and financial struggle. But instead of letting it define her, Camila found purpose in starting over.

In 2023, alongside her husband, she launched MCM Marketing, a bilingual digital agency helping brands grow through social media, SEO, and smart strategy. At the same time, she's built a platform that reflects her multidimensional story: crowned Reina Latina, author, advocate, and now soon-to-be mother.

This conversation explores how faith, humility, and courage can turn even the darkest seasons into fuel for growth. From infertility struggles to cyberbullying, from corporate burnout to entrepreneurial rebirth—Camila's story is proof that purpose is found in persistence and perspective.

🎙️ In this episode, we explore:

• Growing up in Colombia and the challenges of immigrating to the U.S. at age 12

• Facing bullying, identity struggles, and therapy as a path to strength

• Overcoming labor abuse in the car industry and finding resilience in hardship

• Competing and winning Reina Latina amidst personal challenges

• Infertility, pregnancy, and what motherhood means to her journey of purpose

• Why faith, humility, and mentorship have been cornerstones of her growth

This episode is a reminder that even when life breaks you down, purpose can rebuild you stronger.
