Podcast Journey

Felix knows my journey as well as anyone. We grew up together, from the days when immigrated here from the USSR in the early 90s. Backyard sports, hide-and-seek and capture the flag around our neighborhood, and family vacations we were constantly together. What I love about Felix is his kindness and loyalty to family and friends. He'd literally go above and beyond for his friends and that's what makes him special.

Today Felix is an accredited professional actuary at New York Life and Real Estate owner and developer. He's just scratching the surface of what he's bound to achieve and accomplish and I'm grateful to get a chance to catchup with him in this format.

Podcast listeners think you're really going to love this episode. We wanted to have an impromptu conversation to discussions some topics that were on our mind. Current state of Team Gary Vee, what we're working on for personal development, and lots of laughs and banter. What I love about being on this team is the open minded yet driven nature of my teammates. Every day is a learning experience both with learning how to edit a podcast (something I'm learning) and interpersonal development, like putting your ego aside for the better of the team. Interested to hear what you think.

As I've been reaching out and making calls through the Empathy Wines sales process it's been amazing to connect and have open conversations with people I may not have otherwise met. What I learned is everybody has a compelling story they crave to share with the world, and sometimes it takes a few of the "right" questions to get people to open up.

When I first spoke with Loree we spoke about several topics that were interesting to us. Personal growth, challenging ourselves, and finding peace and acceptance with being imperfect. Loree and her husband just moved cross-country for an amazing opportunity with WWE Smackdown.

I am grateful that Loree invited me to be on her podcast and to allow me to share my story. Yes, I know there are a few ommisions on my part and Loree called me Andrew Goldman in the intro ... it doesn't bother me and shouldn't bother you :) would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on this episode, and if you find any value, PLEASE PLEASE leave a review <3

This episode is really special for me. Cesar's one of those people you meet that has a peaceful presence about him. He brings out the best in his teammates and empowers them to be their best selves. This couldn't have been more evident than when people spoke about Cesar yesterday. It was his last day on Team GaryVee (felt more like a leave of absence honestly) and people shared stories, moments, and toasts to Cease. After 2+ years in NYC he's moving back to Florida to be closer to family, and as Cease paints it, "I  follow my intuition, and it feels right." Getting to know Cesar over the last few months it's obvious he leads with his heart and puts people before himself, he loves to guide and help people grow. Cesar is the epitome of "Be the Change you want to see in the world." I hope our paths cross in the future.

Lil Vee was just an idea to make a cartoon that was both entertaining and educational to teach kids entrepreneurship. Cesar, Avital, and Chris were tasked with the impossible and after countless long nights released Lil Vee - the reviews were amazing. If you haven't checked it out, here's the link (you may learn a few things for yourself :))

SLIME IS MONEY | The Adventures of Lil' Vee #1 - Narrated by Karina Garcia - https://youtu.be/TL5jL8NU94E

some reviews from Lil Vee:

"As a relatively new dad this is exactly what I want my daughter to watch on Saturday mornings." 

"This is a Really great way to teach the young generation about the basics of entrepreneurship and how to use social media to build a brand around your Business to sell Stuff"

What a fun way to teach entrepreneurship to kids!  The good, the challenges, and what can happen when they don't take the 'bad situations' personally!  I'm a fan already Gary V!

This episode is a little different and I'm excited to keep sharing them.  I'd like to create a mini-series where I interview fans of Gary Vee who have subscribed to the Club Empathy Package of Empathy Wine. Empathy sources the grapes for the blends from small family-owned vineyards in North California with the mission of delivering a high quality blend of wine for $20.

Simon is my first guest on this series and boy was I excited to chat with him and learn his story. Simon is moved here from Poland 12 years ago with his Mom & Dad, two people who have greatly influenced his life and Simon speaks very highly off. He recently went all-in on being a creative and start his own business and the transition and story always fascinate me. His energy, positivity and desire for connection is awesome to see, he's a natural people person and recently started a dynamic podcast called CoffeeRun, where he brings guests on to share this story and chat as they go on a Coffee Run in Simon's car.

I really appreciate you taking the time to listen. If you get any value from these episodes, it would mean the world to me if you left a review with your thoughts / opinions / feedback <3 <3
