Wayne M. Robinson grew up in a community and during the times when neighbors helped out each other. If you HAD a cup of flour, you GAVE a cup of flour.

His mother taught him to always be kind to others. To help others. To give to others. He never forgot these lessons.

Regardless of his past titles, he is the SAME WAYNE.

We talk about his retirement and the value of true friends. He shares, the only thing after my name now is a period, not a title. Only those that care about me as me, now want to stay connected.

He continues to be an Event Strategist, after experiencing a lifetime in the meeting and events industry.

The conversations goes on to discuss vulnerability and the balance between perception and exposure.

He encourages us all to put ourselves first, embrace your values, and align with others (companies and individuals) that share similar thoughts on culture and considerate interactions.

Finally, if you need a hug, his arms are wide open.

If you need a conversation, he has two ears to listen.

If you need a cup, he has a cup to give.

Glenn Haussman is an icon to me. I've been listening to his podcast for years and have always admired the way he pulls great information and stories from others. This interview is my giveback to him and his listeners in which someone finally gets to help learn and tell his story.

We talk about his feelings of "being an imposter", chasing the dragons of flow, and continuing your destiny. He shares that he left a well-paying job to realize his dreams despite being uncomfortable in the process. So many life lessons shared and learned!

Today's conversation just flowed and together we allowed the podcast to "be what it needed to be."

Today's guest is Nick Horgan (Chief Commercial Officer, Amaze Insights).

As I shared during this interview, he is the person that referenced and thanked the most people during this discussion. He doesn't take credit for himself, but rather gives it toward all others. He doesn't need to make the sale, he just wants to help solve problems for people.

Unselfish and a connector. If he doesn't have the answer, he will connect, research, recommend, and introduce you to whoever will help YOU!

He "does" what "Most People Don't".

He prides himself in keeping the best interest of customers at the forefront of all decisions.

Prior to Amaze Insights, Nick served as Chief Sales Officer for a leading digital marketing firm. After leaving that role, he was strategic advisor to companies developing digital solutions for the hospitality industry as well as board member for HSMAI San Diego.

For most of his career, he held various leadership roles at Amadeus Hospitality where he was responsible for growth strategy among strategic accounts. During this time, he consistently spearheaded multi-million-dollar deals and enterprise deals with some of the largest hospitality brands, including one with a global rollout for more than 6,000 hotels.

Nick was #1 worldwide revenue producer for Amadeus Hospitality seven out of the eight years he was with the company after its acquisition of Newmarket International.

Throughout his career, Nick has been directly responsible for increasing year over year revenue, while ensuring that his customers achieve outsized benefits and successful outcomes. Nick has personally sold more than $160 million dollars in software and SAAS projects into the hospitality industry.

Nick resides in San Diego and when not working, loves spending time with his family, traveling, and playing pickleball.

Today's guest is an extraordinary, vibrant and colorful mix of talent.

She caught my attention initially by her dedication to creating neuroscience-based events for those with ADHD.

After learning more, the layers of Stephanie Scheller run deep. After graduating with a degree in Equine Business and Facility Management, she realized that she didn't like the way animals were being treated.

She created another new opportunity for herself.

When a sales leader didn't support or show appreciation for her efforts, she created another new opportunity for herself.

Soon she decided to combine all of her passions; teaching, training, art, music, acting into events that "she would actually want to attend" and one which would hold her attention. Viola, she founded Grow Disrupt and it continues to flourish.

More about Stephanie:

She built her first business from scratch to walk away from her job in less than five months and doubled her event-production company during a global pandemic, on a $0/month marketing budget.
