Becoming A Real Estate Mogul with Pamela Bardhi

Do you ever feel like you’re going up against an impossible task and everyone has counted you out? If so, then this episode is for you.

Meet my friend Pamela Bardhi. Pam is a Serial Entrepreneur, Real Estate Mogul, Coach & Dynamic Public Speaker. She went from delivering pizzas to a 9-figure Real Estate Career and being featured in Forbes & Time Magazine. Pam is dedicated to empowering the Underdog to rise within all of us through stories from my Top- 100, Internationally Acclaimed Podcast called Underdog.

During our conversation, I felt so inspired by her story. I kept thinking about the obstacles I had overcome and my current obstacles at the time.

I’m super excited to share this very powerful episode with you! Last year I sat down with the VP of Communications and Programming for the Wisconsin Veteran Chamber of Commerce. To be exact the date was November 19th. Adam fired me up! Adam empowers professionals to embolden their brand, elevate their careers and develop powerhouse networks. Adam is one of the most real dudes that I have met.

During this episode, we discussed social media trolls and the many crises our veterans endure on a day-to-day basis. It is brutal! Talking about these issues really annoyed me. I don’t understand how the heroes of this country are often stepped over and ignored. That is unless it's Veteran’s Day. There are so many broken promises that need to be upheld.

Adam Braatz is an author, speaker, US Air Force veteran, and business owner. He also serves as Vice President of Communications and Programming for the Wisconsin Veterans Chamber of Commerce. Adam empowers professionals to embolden their brands, elevate their careers, and develop powerhouse networks.

He resides in Wisconsin with his wife Kate, stepdaughters Chloe and Calla, son Phineas, dog Widgie, and chameleon Fern. This conversation was much needed.

 Also, be sure to leave your feedback. We’re always working on ways to improve the show.

Meet Jordan Wentz. I interviewed Jordan back on Oct 21, 2021. This interview feels like it was conducted almost a lifetime ago.

Although we didn’t talk too much about business strategy or entrepreneurship, I gained so much more. This conversation touched my heart in so many ways!  I was able to discover the practice of healing through dancing. 

Honestly, I didn’t know dancing could be so beneficial. I was not a believer. One day someone I love very much was having a challenging day. I remembered this conversation with Jordan. I started dancing with her and let me tell you, I AM A BELIEVER!! We were instantly filled with joy! Dancing is so therapeutic!

My friend Jordan is doing something phenomenal. She is healing the world by dancing and spreading positivity through movement.

She is America’s Hype Woman, Jordan Wentz, help people get out of their way, unleash their confidence, and own their power through EPIC dance parties so they can make their dreams happen and live their free-est, most bada$$ lives!

Jordan Wentz is a professional dancer, fitness expert, movement therapy coach, and hype-woman who uses her 20 years of performance and mindset experience to help people ditch their self-limiting beliefs and find the confidence to live their free-rest most bada$$ lives - and she does it all through EPIC dance parties.

The internationally touring choreographer and film actress began coaching others on the tips and tricks that led to her successful career on stages across the world after overcoming debilitating low self-confidence, herself. She then founded MyMovementality, a platform for total health and wellness through movement, where she’s helped thousands transform their inhibitions to shine their brightest and live their fullest lives.

Jordan combines her passion for giving back with her movement and mindset coaching to help people gain the trust and belief in themselves they need to unleash their inner rockstar - giving them the tools they need to achieve all their dreams with unwavering authenticity. 

Jordan teaches around the world, turning dreamers into do-ers, and “I love myself”-ers. She has been featured on KROQ Radio and has worked with Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign, Reebok, and the IDEA Health and Fitness Association, helping people find fulfillment through movement and dance.

Wahle played college football at the Navy and was drafted in 1998 by the Green Bay Packers. Playing seven seasons with Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre, Mike's offensive line corp, is widely considered one of the best in the NFL history.
