Do you know what is in your food? Why do you bloat or breakout with acne, but you're in your late 20s/30s/40s?

Illie decided to get to the bottom of what was at the bottom of her food, supplements, and lifestyle. She is adamant that calories-in vs. calories-out is not the way to live—there's a better way. 

With over 10,000 followers, she appears to have hit a nerve in the health and wellness community—but in the best way.

The face of sports has changed so much over the past 365 days. From bubbles to baseball, football to testing fumbles, what's next?

In this episode I speak with Adam Lorber—from the back office of the New York Giants. We talk about the ups and downs of the unknown sports climate and what it meant to have an entire season without an outbreak.

Adam talks about how the Giants, for the first time, adopted content marketing to help boost the team and keep the conversation going with potential season ticket holders.

Who can say they have gone from the CIA to Vermont, to the midwest, CO, and then The Grocery Games on the Food Network? Chris DiMercurio.

He's worked with Michelin Star chefs, mastered the art of farm-to-table, and knows how to butcher his meat from snout to tail. Every piece is appreciated.

His kitchen inspiration is southern in nature. The Southern United States (Alabama!) and Southern Italy. He has mastered the simplest dishes—which are not so simple to perfectly execute.

Now, with 1 in 5 unemployed people in the US is from the restaurant industry. But it also affects wineries, distilleries, farmers, and every part of the supply chain. Now what? How do we see our way through this and back into the dining room?

Listen in for an amusing chat!

We are all ready for 2021. We've streamed thousands of hours of on-demand content from music to movies to social media. With cues to "turn it up" or "sound on" it's hard to ignore the impact audio has on a video or image.

In this episode of Mission-Driven, Wellington Lora talks about the impact music has and how the industry is moving forward even with safety restrictions. We talk about music licensing, streaming subscriptions, LinkedIn,  TikTok, and Instagram saturation (oh my!).

Also—we talk about opportunities to grow your brand organically without paid advertising.

In this episode Michael Ham, of the Morning Spotlight and Fidelity National Group, talks with me about the transition from baseball, to title insurance and real estate, and marketing in a pandemic.

In the past few months, we've all worked hard to reinvent ourselves—or at least our approaches. Michael Ham is a prime example of that and it is clear that he is on a mission to have meaningful conversations, make meaningful connections, and grow with each step.

Sometimes a smile can change your day. What impact can a smile from a stranger have on you?

In my latest Mission Driven Podcast, we talk about just that with Michael Ray of The Smile Project Louisville.

Michael has been through so much and continues on. He's an inspiration to me and it's clear that he won't continue smiling and changing the world. 

Michael Ray, is the founder of Smile Project Louisville, an organization created to affect attitude and behaviors thru smiling with strangers. As the oldest of 7, Michael has seen life take many twists and turns. After 20+ years in the tumultuous mortgage industry, the death of a child, the challenges of a non-verbal special needs daughter, and divorce, this father of four acted on a once dreamed about desire of inspiring others through small acts of kindness. This leap of faith has since turned into Smile Project Louisville.
