Welcome! We did it! We made it through Season 1 of the Level Up! With Shay podcast! THANK YOU for your support! This episode I talk about Season 1, why I did it, what I learned, my intentions for the "off-season," and an interesting thought that came into my head the other morning. What is important to you? I don't mean making a list of things you're grateful for or anything like that. I explain more in the episode, so dig in! I think it could be a really important step in your journey of LEVELING UP! And THAT'S important to ME! :)

Welcome! In this episode of Level Up! With Shay, Paul Forchione joins me to talk ALL about becoming a better version of yourself! He is a coach for your mindset, career, life, anything to make you level up in life. He had cerebral palsy as an infant and due to the fact that his mother would not take “no” for an answer in terms of him being able to walk, he went through intense physical therapy and starting walking at the age of three. He later went on to play soccer at five and baseball starting in middle school to make his high school varsity team his junior and senior year. After going to college and not knowing what he wanted to do with his life, a friend offered him a job as a mortgage officer and he, again, found success in that industry. After a motivational speaker came to talk to the staff at his company, Paul was inspired to be a coach himself. He eventually left his mortgage position to pursue a career in coaching. He shares his story of growing up with a disability to show people that they can do anything they want to. I love our conversation because they include the lessons everyone needs to hear (and has probably heard) but through the lens of Paul’s life. Hope you enjoy!

You can find and support Paul many places! His website www.acalltoaction.coach, Facebook page, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube! Listen to his podcast Actions and Limits on Spotify and you can contact him at 562-743-0866 and [email protected]!

Welcome! In this episode of Level Up! With Shay, Nick Dee (they/them) is an actor, performer, comedian, writer, musician, photographer, I could go on, shares their story of becoming super resourceful and motivated to do what they love. They started at the The Theater of the Arts in Philly, performed in NYC for four years and after slipping on ice and busting their face open, they decided the cold weather was not for them. So then brought on the journey to Los Angeles, sleeping on their friends couch, while saving up money through bartending and other odd jobs to get their own place. Through working in and out of the entertainment business, Nick Dee realized that if they wanted to be in projects, they’d have to make their own since most female roles were not up their alley. They moved into comedy, started writing and performing more, and it eventually led them to teaching themselves how to take professional photos. After spending a lot of time shooting for free for their friends, breaking into places to get the best shot, and traveling the world to get IG high quality photos, they started their own photography business in 2018. I’m sure this conversation will spark some ideas in your mind about how to be more resourceful and how to use whatever mindset you have to level up your life NOW!

Welcome! In this episode of Level Up! With Shay, Jonah shares his story about growing up as a south Asian kid in small town Illinois. His confidence was never really there, his thoughts were mostly, if not all, self-defeating, but yet, he knew there had to be more. He spent the year after college saving up money to move out to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting. When he arrived, it was less than Hollywood-esque. He spent 3-4 months living out of his car, cycling back and forth from work at a movie theater, and doing anything to survive. Even though he is out of that situation now, is doing what he loves for a living, and happily married, he still admits to running into some challenges. He turns to silence when he needs it and is constantly trying to refine his acting style and his lifestyle. I was so inspired by his unwillingness to stop, how far he’s come, because I know I related to some of his childhood stories, and his love in supporting others. I hope you all enjoy this episode too and take note of the many ways he levels up!

Welcome! In this episode of the Level Up! Podcast with Shay, Skip shares his story of growing up gay and in a home where he liked a lot of things his sister liked (dolls, hair, women’s clothes), but was always handed more “manly” things to play with (GI Joe, sports equipment). He was in the hairdressing and entertainment business for 20 years before he started personal training at Equinox in New York. After having a massive heart attack one day on his way to work at the gym, he decided there was more for him on the West Coast. He continued his personal training in Los Angeles and found other avenues to express his passion of helping people through nutrition and fitness. We talk about soooo many great ways about how to get the most out of yourself. He says he never works hard, continues to build his confidence, and finds himself in so many situations he can only give credit to the Law of Attraction. If you feel like you’re stuck, you are pushing against a wall, you’ve been trying soooo hard...LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE.

If you’re looking for a sign THIS IS IT.
