Painting Your Path

John Chao is a radical encourager and a change maker. Using his top 3% podcast Perspective Maintenance and his perspective-shifting speaking and coaching, John's main mission is to help individuals over 45 realize that their best days are ahead of them, not behind them. He is fascinated by cross-cultural and intergenerational dynamics and is a personality assessments junkie. He specializes in creating opportunities for people to leverage what they currently think they have to offer and turn that into exponentially greater results, so they can fulfill their dreams.

With a decade spent in the luxury world, providing world-class service and experiences (and growing his ever expanding shoe collection), John is now focusing on helping people reach their potential by seeing their own greatness clearly and tapping into their genius. Knowing the impact of the ripple effect, he mainly spends his time with leaders because “a rising tide lifts all boats”.

Before we dive into today’s guest, I have a special announcement: season 5 of my signature summit, From Employee to Creative Entrepreneur is coming soon! It’s happening the week of November 7th. If you’d like to learn more about the summit, the link is in the shownotes.

Today’s guest, Kelly Abanda, was featured in season 1. Grateful she said yes to that first event! It’s great to connect with her again today.

Kelly Abanda, M.A., has successfully navigated major pivots in her life.

In 2016, she quit her senior-level corporate job to pursue a life-long dream of traveling the world solo.  This magical season was only supposed to be 3 months but turned into THREE YEARS and 23 countries around the world! Beyond the adventures and connections, she made huge internal transformations-most notably, she committed to stay out of hustle mode and instead live life according to her biggest values- community, adventure and freedom.  

Kelly now helps others get out of hustle mode and design their own detour.  She also runs BizBestie Lounge, a community for female entrepreneurs that helps them get out of overthinking and into powerful action!

Connect with Kelly:
