Notable Leaders' Radio

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Jose Berlanga, Real Estate Investor, Author, and Speaker. He shares his life experience of being on death's door at age four and how he developed an enlightened perspective on using his challenges for good.

In today's episode, we discuss:

• "Life carves you into the person you eventually become," says Berlanga. Overcome obstacles with the knowledge that there is learning in every experience that will guide you on your journey.

• Use your challenges to your advantage. Approach them with a problem-solving attitude rather than a victim of the challenge.

• "Don't let yourself be taken over by these circumstances." "Did my situation bother me? Yes, it affected me. Was it difficult? Extremely. But I made it a point not to stop living, to listen to myself/intuition and do what I needed to do."

• Successful entrepreneurs take risks, understand uncertainties, know from the get-go that it will be difficult, and learn the lesson in every "failure".

Guest Bio:

In every facet of his life and endeavors, real estate investor, author, and speaker Jose Berlanga is a force of unwavering tenacity.

At only four years old, Jose found himself at death's door following a devastating accident that left his body covered in third-degree burns. He spent his childhood growing up in various hospitals, leaving behind both physical and emotional scars that would carry into his adulthood. Determined not to let tragedies solely define his life story, Jose set out to make a name for himself.

Led by his passion and curiosity for the business world, entrepreneurship came naturally to him. Jose's entrepreneurial pursuits have spanned numerous industries, with one thing remaining constant: his persistence and level of involvement. With all his pursuits, Jose takes a hands-on approach, getting involved in the day-to-day of all departments at what many may consider an unusual level. This involvement ranged from hiring and training hundreds of people, to personally negotiating a few thousand real estate transactions, both buying and selling.

Jose has achieved multimillionaire status four distinct times, in four separate industries: an import/export company for machinery for the Petrochemical industry, investments including a chain of Italian coffee bars, a residential construction company, and lastly, land development & construction.

Each success was a feat of starting from ground zero and meticulously building his wealth anew. His journey has involved constructing complex business infrastructures, only to lose them to factors beyond his control, such as economic downturns, currency fluctuations, and world financial crises. Alongside his four multimillion-dollar endeavors, there have been countless other businesses, too.

Despite facing monumental setbacks, Jose has consistently risen from the ashes of lost enterprises, reinventing himself, venturing into new industries with renewed vigor and determination, and found even greater success in each new endeavor.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I will be responding to some questions sent in by listeners about wisdom. You don't have to wait until you're in your 50s or 60s to live with wisdom. You can step into it at any age. However, you will need to choose curiosity rather than judgment.

In today's episode, we discuss:

today's episode, we discuss:

• Living in wisdom requires curiosity, compassion, forgiveness, grace, self-awareness, and intentionality.

• Learn to move forward on a new path without bringing past issues/stories with you. You can't solve today's technical issues with yesterday's technology. The same is true for you.

• Is it the journey or the destination that creates sustainable success and fulfillment?

• One of the big gifts of choosing to live in wisdom is that you get to dropkick judgment to the curb and replace it with curiosity. Judgment holds you back, and curiosity opens endless possibilities.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Ashley Jablow, founder of Wayfinders Collective. She dives into the importance of self-discovery, the power of letting go , and finding your purpose in creative ways.

In today's episode, we discuss:

• Work to let go of who you think you should be and what you should do and exchange them with what is true for you.

• "The more you show up authentically as yourself, the more success you will actually achieve."

• Do shiny career moves lead you to hollow achievement or to your purpose?

• Allow your creativity and bravery to come together for a purpose and deep fulfillment..

• Slow and steady wins the race. She tells us, "Making change, especially meaningful change that requires us to think and dream and be bigger and more purposeful - it's not easy, but sitting in that uncertainty and allowing answers to come is truly one of the most important skills that anyone can develop."

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I'm going to talk about how to set yourself up for more successful communications. There is a way to really be heard. Tune in to learn my top communication hacks.

In today's episode, we discuss:

• There is great power in establishing rapport. This one step turns a potentially challenging conversation into a productive/successful meeting.

• Learn to communicate in a way that defies triggers. How do you handle things when the person you are speaking with gets triggered or even more challenging, when YOU get triggered?

• The transformation that takes place when you understand the best way to connect with people.

• Successful conversations must have a pre-planned beginning, middle, and end. Be clear on what you want to say and where you want it to end.

• Leaders should show up to hard conversations with the intentions of creating safe space, and valuing the recipient. So even though the conversation may be challenging, they should know that it is being shared for their benefit and to meet their goals.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Nelson Nigel, founder of MOTO NATION, Kidmoto, Busmoto, and Babymoto. He highlights the importance of the relentless pursuit of following your dreams, shedding dead weight, and tells us that his success is deeply connected to his emotional intelligence.

In today's episode, we discuss:

• There is great power in resilience, determination, and the relentless pursuit of one's dreams.

• Work to have an incredibly deep level of emotional intelligence. Success is determined by not only your ability to dream big and push yourself, but also by your resilience in the face of adversity.

• The transformation that takes place when you get rid of dead weight, shed negativity, and remove the inconsequential energy or people from your life.

• Never give up, and keep working hard. He tells us, "We can really do a lot of things if we push ourselves. Dream big, and just keep going."

• Leaders should show up ready to keep learning. Your studies should never end, you should always be creating new levels of insight.

Guest Bio:

Nelson is a Guyanese entrepreneur who, at 5, emigrated with his family to Queens, New York. He has lived a life of triumph and trials; his most significant moment was getting hit by a moving express subway train at age 13. Nelson miraculously survived three weeks of coma after surgeons permanently removed the top part of his forehead. Having lost all memory before that day, he has only looked forward since, unapologetically living his life aloud (as seen in Nelson's eccentric color choices with his hair and attire).

Nelson studied cultural anthropology in college and loved meeting the world as an NYC yellow taxicab and Uber driver. A defining period of his life, this is where Nelson saw a recurring issue: underserved consumers having trouble with navigating child car seats in taxis, ultimately birthing what is now known as Kidmoto.

Nelson started Kidmoto with a dream, $600 to his name, and a relentless passion to succeed. He worked hard to grow Kidmoto to 52 cities across the US. He started MOTO NATION in 2023 as the leading brand behind new companies, BUSMOTO and BABYMOTO. Nelson is a natural-born hustler, survivor, and fighter and continues to push forward with innovation and entrepreneurship.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Perry Yeatman, Head of Corporate at Save the Children. She highlights the journey that brought her to the nonprofit world, and the importance of self awareness in finding your meaning and purpose.

In today's episode, we discuss:

• There is great power in focusing on what you can control and where you can make a difference, and just continuing to move forward.

• Work to have an incredibly deep level of self awareness. The level of success you achieve is directly related to your self awareness.

• The transformation that takes place when you choose meaning and purpose over reputation and money.

• You can do anything you set your mind to. Perry tells us, "It's not magic, it's work. It's about being smart, and you can do it… forgive what you are not, and learn to play into your strengths.

• Leaders should show up as change-makers. Passive gratitude doesn't change the world. We need people who've got a lot, to give a lot.
