When I spoke with Scott Jacobson on the podcast, the interview was a very interesting conversation. Scott is the Founder of Onward Equity, he has two decades of active real estate investing experience and his knowledge ranges from single-family homes, duplexes, multi-family apartment buildings, and a medical/professional office building. Scott told me, that his career is his passion and life. Combining a passion for real estate with real-world experiences in property acquisition, management, and successful exit strategies, his vision is to align with like-minded people who can see the financial benefits and excitement that real estate investing can offer. Scott is currently working on larger multi-family real estate syndication deals, and since 2016, he has been a General Partner and Limited Partner over 4,000 apartment units throughout the Midwest and multiple industrial park complexes in the eastern US.

Scott does not stop there.

Guests are not charged to stay at the SON House, and to date the SON Foundation has provided over 8,000 nights of lodging for its guests. This is so amazing and I give Scott and his wife Denise their flowers. I truly love this.

On July 16, 2024, it was a very special moment for me and the podcast. I was excited to have Hallie Balogh and Auttie Grace on the podcast. These beautiful ladies that I adore had me overwhelmed with excitement on the podcast. The young female authors/entrepreneurs are making great decisions in their lives. They are reaching for the stars. They are self publishing authors and want to help others to make their dreams come true. Hallie Balogh and Auttie Grace first met in 5th grade and that is when everything started. They quickly became known for always being together. You never only saw one of them, you will see them both. That 5th grade school year didn’t only spark their friendship, but it set the foundation for the Auttie and Hallie writing power-duo. From 5th grade and all through middle school, they spent their free time writing stories together. Once Covid-19 hit, they took it as an advantage to write their first novel, “Empire: To Earth and Back.” Honestly, it started as a joke, but by the end of high school, they had published their second novel, “Empire: At Esprit’s Core,” and won the national Inspirational Women in Literature award. Hallie and Auttie admit it was hard through school to remain close but they both had the same passion, writing. They are besties/sisters forever. As young female authors, they want to inspire others that no dream is “too big” when you’re passionate about something. They want to continue inspire people of all ages and I must say, they have inspired me, plus I have a soft spot for them. I am super excited for their future. When I first met them at the ages of 15 and 16 years old, I knew they will have a bright future. Now 18 and 19 years old, the world and myself can't wait to see what is next..

When I had a conversation with Michael Halpert, he was very passionate about helping individuals with their first job and how to pursue his or her career. Michael Halpert has 20 years of experience navigating the tech and media sectors. Michael, also known as Mike Halpert, has a track record that speaks for itself. His leadership roles span both industry giants like Google and Walmart E-Commerce and dynamic hyper-growth startups. Yet, where Mike truly excels is in fostering emerging talent. As a Product Management Executive, he's led sizable teams and consistently prioritized the mentorship of junior members. His dedication to coaching has equipped countless individuals with the skills and confidence to climb the corporate ranks. Mike's strategic insights and consulting services have been invaluable to a diverse set of Fortune 500 clients, from investment banks to media companies and telecom providers. His educational foundation includes an MBA from USC Marshall and a bachelor’s degree from NYU. In Mike's career, it's not just about reaching the top; it's about guiding others to do the same. Being fresh out of college or starting an internship and feeling overwhelmed, it's normal. Mike inspiration for this book is deeply personal. From Mike's own journey in tech and countless conversations with friends who are fellow managers, a recurring theme has emerged: coaching his junior hires. While there's an abundance of resources guiding individuals on job hunting and acing technical interviews, there's a glaring gap when it comes to preparing new hires for what's expected of them from day one in their new roles. Regardless of career path, there are fundamental communication, collaboration, and soft skills that are a key part of being successful in any job. Yet these topics aren’t taught in college. The pandemic and extended lockdowns have further exacerbated this challenge. The shift to remote & hybrid work has deprived the current generation of college grads of invaluable in-person interactions, hands-on experience, and the confidence to navigate interpersonal dynamics effectively. This is why Mike decided to write "Cubicle To Corner Office: The Ultimate Survival Guide To Your First Job," which you can find this book everywhere. Mike wants to give knowledge to individuals who don't have a clue about how to start their career. This book will guide individuals in the right direction. You can follow Mike Halpert on social media at Cubicle to Corner, and if you want an interview, please contact Zach Heitling at [email protected]

The conversation I had with Rachel was genuine. She has a great support system, and she loves being an independent author. Rachel grew up in Western PA and found her love of reading early in life, supported by her parents with frequent trips to the library and local bookstores. She stumbled into the bookish world in late 2020 and has embraced the lifestyle whole-heartedly, diving headfirst into the Romance genre, becoming a book reviewer and Bookstagrammer. In 2021, she changed careers, took a job at an indie bookstore, and started her first official novel-length writing project.

Now, Rachel is getting an MFA in Writing Popular Fiction at Seton Hill University and juggling too many story ideas for one brain to handle. She's excited to continue to share Happily Ever Afters with you that bring the swoons, the spice, and the humor. Rachel had a dream to do what she loves, and this dream became a reality in 2022. Rachel’s debut novel, "Carry Me Through Christmas," published November 10, 2022. Signed copies are always available for purchase. She continues to move forward with "Capitally Matched." Rachel’s currently working on a new series of interconnected standalones featuring five brothers while she pursues an MFA in Popular Fiction at Seton Hill University.

When not immersed in her bookish world, you can find Rachel hanging out with her husband and two cats, spending time with friends in the Washington DC area, and rooting for Pittsburgh sports teams.
