When you hear about someone "getting work done", typically, the mind jumps to frozen faces, over-filled lips and botched surgeries. But what a lot of people don't know is that they're only noticing the bad work. In fact, we interact with a ton of people daily who have "had work done," and we'd never even know it.

On this week's episode, I'm chatting with Ana Delgado and Megan Smith, two powerhouses in the aesthetics industry who partnered together to help people become injectors and aestheticians. They know all about the good, the bad, and the ugly in the aesthetics industry and help others do incredible work that goes against all the assumptions that people have about the beauty industry.

These two amazing women took a chance leaving the corporate world behind, and putting all of their entrepreneurial spirit into partnering together to help others realize their skills in the world of aesthetics. Tune in to hear their inspiring stories, and get a peek behind the curtain as they debunk the misconceptions about Botox and fillers.

Key Topics:

1. The biggest misconceptions about Botox, fillers, and aesthetics
2. The difference between Botox and fillers
3. Everyone ages differently
4. How Ana and Megan got started in aesthetics
5. How they began their business partnership
6. Taking the leap to leave the corporate world
7. Being flexible with your goals and passions in life
8. Getting out of the golden handcuffs
9. Letting go of self-doubt and listening to your inner voice
10. There's a limit to how much money brings happiness
11. Never letting someone tell you you can't do something
12. How to get into the aesthetics industry
13. Using your rock-bottom moments as fuel to go after your dreams
14. Cultivating confidence even if it's not in your nature

Working from home, a cafe, or even in another country is a newer concept in society. But did you know you could do this even back in the 90's? Basically, since laptops first existed, people have been finding ways to break away from the traditional corporate life and searching for opportunities that give them the freedom they crave.

Meet Jamie Sylvian, one of the first pioneers of the digital nomad movement. He's been doing it since before it was cool — before anyone even knew this lifestyle existed. Since the 90's, he's been choosing work that allows him to work on the move, and now he's trying to teach others to do it…for free!

Jamie wants to share what has worked for him and teach others how to do what he does so they can live a life of freedom, too. The only catch — you must be over 40. But even if you don't meet the age requirement for his Executive Nomad Academy, this episode has no age block and anyone can learn what has worked for him over decades of working and traveling.

Key Topics:

1. Getting his start in copywriting and the financial industry
2. The family member who inspired his adventurous and entrepreneurial spirit
3. Learning to tell the story of business
4. Finding a job he can take with him anywhere in the world
5. A mix of restlessness, adventure, and experiencing other cultures
6. The ease of being a digital nomad today vs. when the movement first started
7. The most valuable skills to have for closing deals on the road
8. The start of the Executive Nomad Academy
9. Disconnecting in a lifestyle that has you always connected to work
10. Growing Executive Nomad Academy into a community
11. Knowing the 25 questions to ask in order to make a deal

Dandelight Studio is not your average yoga studio. It's a magical place, and as founder Julia Kochajewska says, "It's like a painting." This yoga studio also happens to be where I teach in Delray Beach, Florida, so it holds a special place in my heart.

Meet Julia and Fabian, a couple-entrepreneur duo who found each other through yoga many years ago. Their story isn't linear — as most aren't — but eventually, they found each other through their similar interests and values.

In this episode, we talk about how they created Dandelight Studio and put together their different visions to create the magic that you'll see if you were to visit it today. We discuss how they both discovered their love for yoga, how they landed in Florida from growing up in Europe, and the value of entrepreneurship.

Key Topics:

1. How Dandelight Studios is like a painting
2. A shared disinterest in school
3. Finding yoga and each other
4. Two lives meeting and re-meeting through yoga over the years
5. Fabian's solo travel journey to find himself
6. Landing in Miami and adjusting to life there
7. How Dandelight got its start
8. What sets Dandelight apart from other yoga studios
9. Making a yoga studio magical
10. Everything you do in life has a purpose
11. The importance of valuing money and having a good work ethic
12. Work-life balance and being a couple-entrepreneur duo

Welcome to another re:cap episode! If you had told me a lot of things at the start of 2023, I probably wouldn't have believed you. Take this podcast, for example. If you had told me in January 2023 that I would have my own successful podcast where I get to interview tons of amazing professionals about their careers and how they got their start, I wouldn't have believed you. And having a great work-life balance at the same time? Forget about it.

But here I am in December 2023, staring down 2024, realizing I've achieved all of that, and more. It's crazy to think about what more I could achieve next year with the right mindset and attitutde towards my goals.

So in this quick little recap solo episode, I'm sharing some simple mindset shifts that will help you set realistic and exciting goals so you can start setting yourself up to meet (and even exceed) your goals in the new year.

If you need a push to stop making excuses and find reasons to achieve your dreams instead, grab a pen and paper, and get ready to learn how.

Key Topics:

1. My 360 degree year in review
2. How to have work-life balance and achieve your dreams
3. Get a coach. Seriously.
4. If nothing could stop you, what would you achieve?
5. Make a list of your excuses and reframe them
6. Turning fears into NBDs (No Big Deals)
