Off The Floor

April Monet had dreams of becoming a professional basketball player. What happened next, in the short term, was a tragedy, but what she found in the long term was a triumph.

April is the founder of A.M. Elite PR, a public relations agency that works to show the best side of athletes and celebrities, and today on "Off the Floor", we get a chance to shine the spotlight on the person that is paid to shine it on her clients.

Not only will you learn a thing or two about Public Relations, but Monet's outlook is something anyone in any industry can benefit from.

Ben Peters isn't just a law student, consultant, or typical guy for that matter. He found a platform in Quora that has helped him grow his business, cope with personal setbacks, and form friendships along the way.

You don't have to be a Quora user or law student to learn plenty from Ben Peters, but I do recommend that you look him up and read his content.

To the Club Music world, Marcus Homm is a famous DJ from Germany. To the dancing world, Markus Homm is a Latin Dancer with an incredible history, but to the Arthur Murray world... he's just Rudy's brother. We caught up with Marcus Homm, amid his insane "James-Bond-like" travel schedule, to talk about his perspective on how his dancing influenced his music career.

Chef Lizette has cooked for 5 presidents, Nelson Mandela, and Lady Gaga, so there's not much that can rattle her.

We caught up with Lizette after frequent @GaryVee related run ins on Twitter and recorded this interview while this chef of 25 years was on her way to work.

She shares the advice her mentor, Julia Child, gave her, what she's learned by watching moguls when the cameras aren't around, and how she's been able to build a career through passion, hard work, and kindness.

She's an inspiration to non-dancers, non-chefs, and you'd be a non-human if you didn't enjoy what she has to say.

So take a listen to the podcast that explores stories about business and pop culture, the struggle to succeed, and the encouraging moments where the scales of the process tip in the right direction. All with a different vantage point.
