Gossipnista: A New York City Podcast

My guest today Mike Schulte keeps it real throughout our whole interview! His authenticity and rawness will gravitate you. 

Born and raised a native NY’er in Queens, Mike opens up not only about why Queens is the best borough, but it also may be the multicultural epicenter of the world. He also speaks on a once upon a time New York that will shock you.  

We get into much, much more as Mike and I touch on various other  New York related topics including; being a New York real estate expert, NYC content creator, and native to the city, Mike has done and seen it all in NYC. 

We dive into his perspective on when, or if you can call yourself a New Yorker and why there’s very few Native New Yorkers in the city. We’ll also jump into when he believes NYC will return to normalcy,; why August and September of 2021 will be madness and best advice for moving here and finding an apartment. He then breaks down NYC neighborhoods including the acronym names for those that may not know, as well as a rundown of his only 10 out of 10 rated restaurants in New York City and much more. 

Our interview is jammed packed with so many NYC tips that you can only get from a native. Be sure to tune-in to listen to Mike’s interview and be sure to drop us a line to let us know what you think!

We’ve all heard the “Jazz” write ups about the major exodus in New York City, but don’t believe everything you read...

My guest, Em Roberts, left the city long before the pandemic to start a whole new chapter in her life, across the pond in London. 

However, Em is East Coast raised and New York made. She started her career in New York City as a successful blogger with @thelipstickfever, and also found love in the city in one of the most unconventional, yet traditional ways. And during her move to London, she was inspired to create @thebigmovepodcast.

In our interview, Em share’s her NYC story, practical tips for those looking to move to the city as well as London, plus shares details on her fascinating podcast - where she interviews high profile guests making big moves in their lives. 

If you’ve ever wondered if NYC or London are comparable or which one is more loved from an east coasters perspective, tune in!

Did you know it’s National Entrepreneur’s Day today? And it’s also the one year anniversary of the Gossipnista podcast, Nov. 17th. What a ride it’s been for me, but even more so for my two #Girlboss guests on today’s podcast episode! 

I had the pleasure of speaking with entrepreneurs plus beauty and skincare enthusiast, Rachel Liverman and Neha Govindraj, the founders of glowbar, a facial spa studio in New York City that’s changing the way you care for oneself and your skin. 

Rachel and Neha talk about their work background and how it played into the development of their business, as well as what lead them to finding one another as business partners and how they decided to commit to one another - as all entrepreneurs know, choosing a business partner is almost like marriage! They share some great yet hilariously unconventional tips on how to choose your business partner. 

Plus, of course, they talk about their New York story, finding themselves in the city, how the idea for their business came about, how the pandemic has changed things, and so much more! 
This was an interview that had me so intrigued while also laughing way too much!

JimThorpe, a little gem located just two hours away from New York City is too charming not to share on this podcast.

All New Yorker’s need a little weekend escape here and there, so in this short-spotted episode find out why this town is called the “Switzerland of America” and often included on national “Best Lists”. 

It’s a town filled with tons of character all year round, but it’s especially my favorite during Halloween, with its haunted mansions and old world charm which make for a spooky destination. Not to mention, it’s vintage train ride, which feels as though you’re traveling on the Pineapple Express.
