  • Ep 41 Love What You Do with Allison Quartuccio

    Enjoy this episode
    Let’s Meet Allison,


    After more than 15 years in the mortgage arena, Allison moved into both being an entrepreneur and a real estate broker. Real estate, she felt, needed some fundamental changes and people needed to smile again. They should be excited at the prospect of a new home and the ability to make new memories and share experiences to last a lifetime. Industry turmoil had removed these simple (but key) elements. She’s committed to bringing value back to the housing market and to focus on customer service, communication, and integrity.
    Oh and have some fun too. You’ll realize this quickly about her. Ask Allison what her favorite part of the business is, it’s taking clients on showings. To her, looking at houses is the “more funner” side of her work. Yes, that is the direct quote. Most of her clients start as strangers and turn into real friendships, reaching far past the transaction. And to her, that is what it’s all about.

    * Before working with anyone we have to have a one on one
    * Just show up and tell your story
    * Go Big Or Go Home

  • Ep 35 True Grit And Grace Amberly Lago

    Enjoy this episode
    A heartfelt conversation with author and speaker Amberly Lago
    Amberly started her speaking career after her life was deeply
    altered and her world was completely changed in May 2010.

    While riding her motorcycle in Woodland Hills, CA, she was hit by a SUV
    and thrown thirty feet down a busy street. Her right leg took the
    brunt of the impact and was crushed almost beyond repair.

    Despite an arduous recovery process, being a former professional
    dancer and athlete she was determined to walk again and return to
    work as a fitness trainer. After a lengthy hospital stay and 34
    surgeries, doctors were able to fuse her leg together and repair her
    severed femoral artery despite the initial recommendation to
    amputate.

    However, Lago was diagnosed with a nerve disease
    called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (formerly known as RSD)
    and deals with chronic pain daily. This chronic pain has led her to
    develop positive, healthy ways of coping with pain and all the emotions that come along with it, and pass it on to others in any
    kind of pain.

    This life altering experience inspires Lago to communicate how you
    can turn tragedy into triumph. She demonstrates how you can hit
    My favorite takeaways from this week’s episode:

    * Any comparison can be the thief of your joy
    * Big granny my guardian angel
    * Life can be changed in the blink of an eye always be grateful
    * At the age of 8 she knew what she was put on this earth to do
    * It’s Hammer Time
    * Do the work
