Strong LYFE Podcast

This week, we have Lonnie the "Look Man" Iannazzo on the podcast. He is originally from St. Louis and he has quite the story. It's a story of ups and downs which most of us can relate to. His Dad was an entrepreneur so he was no stranger to working in small businesses. He did everything from produce, tires, insurance, real estate and finally jewelry. Failure was a big part of his story through out the years but now he is on the other side of failure and has 34 years of experience in the Jeweler business. He now owns and operates "Vincent Anthony Jewelers (has a nice Ring to it does't it) because years ago, he found the inspiration, drive and purpose he needed to start his own company after things went are awry.

There is no doubt you will enjoy this episode because of the fun conversation Allie and Lonnie have, the nuggets they swap between each other and the inspiration you will find   all through out! 

This week's episode is special. You often think life will go one way but it goes another and that's exactly how Sarah's life and this Podcast recording did. The time you will spend listening to this episode will be worth every moment. We have Sarah Hadrava on the show. She was born in Minnesota, raised in a missionary family. Her dream was to be a "career Mom" but life didn't quite go as planned.

Today, Sarah is a Morgage Lender with Guaranteed Rate and very successful. If that doesn't sound very "sexy,", we assure you, the way she communicates about her career and hearing her story might change your mind. She bumped into her field of work by accident out of a simple need for a job many years ago. After a while, she found a new "WHY" and found the strength and desire to start her own business which is where Guaranteed Rate comes in. She has now been enjoying the fruit of her labor for many years. She shares wonderful insights about family, relationships, leadership, faith, children and more. We're grateful for how open she was. If you don't get a thing from her other than getting to listen to someone be so open, vulnerable and willing to share, it will still be worth your time for that reason alone. But you will also hear about some of her struggles. She is far from a victim so as a result of her struggles, now we get to hear a few lessons life taught her. Sarah is a Champion and we could all learn from her awesome example.

When it comes down to who Sarah is, she is a loving servant, living a Strong Lyfe, by design.

Rev. Msgr. Patrick Gaalaas was born in Minneapolis, MN and ordained to the priesthood August 12, 1972, after receiving a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, as well as a baccalaureate of sacred theology and master’s degree in moral & religious science from the University of Louvain in Belgium. Currently, he is pastoring St. Bernard of Clairvaux.

Father Gaalaas has been passionate about his Catholic faith since childhood. He started studying in 8th grade. At that age, kids are often changing what they want to do every other day but clearly, after fulfilling his calling for 46+ years, it proves he knew what his why truly was even back then. 

Rev. Msgr. Patrick Gaalaas is dear to Allie and Butch, so it was an honor to have him be with us on the #StrongLYFE show. We can all learn from someone who has known, pursued, and been continuously fulfilling his life's purpose since adolescence. 

You will not be disappointed with this episode. We are blessed to have had such a guest grace us with their presence.

Jim Nicolotti is man full of faith, generosity, experience and Positivity. When you listen to him share on this episode, you will find out Life might be a little bit more simple than you think. He exudes positive energy and says a positive mindset is one of the most important things a someone could ever learn. 

Jim started has done a little of everything but 3 things that may be of interest are,

1. He use to do Real Estate for Oral Roberts, 2. He Co-Founded Galaxy Limo in Tulsa Twenty-Three years ago with one of his children. They chose that name because they serve their clients with "Out of this World Transportation". 3) He spends a lot of his time helping raise money for his church, and other non-profit organizations. We will add, he has has been quite successful at it and that is briefly spoken about on this show.

Jim is really down to Earth and there is a high chance you will relate to several of his life experiences. 

His Why has been clear through the years and his life proves it.

Chadwick James “Chad” Taber, surrounded by family and dear friends, left to be with his Lord on Sunday, June 30, 2019. Chad fought a long, hard battle with cancer. He was born in Enid, Oklahoma on August 15, 1969, the son of Albert Floyd and Barbara Jean (Arterburn) Taber.  Chad grew up in Medford, OK and graduated from Medford High School, in the class of 1987. He then went on to attend Oklahoma State University (Go Pokes!). Chad met Shea Oakley, the love of his life on a blind date in 1989. The two attended her high school prom together & Chad even introduced Shea to the beauty of the Catholic faith. The two were married on November 30, 1991 and they made their home in Jenks, Oklahoma. They then went on to have their five beautiful children and later two grandbabies, who were Chad’s pride and joy. Chad was not only a beloved and devoted husband, father, & grandfather, but a cherished son, brother, friend, mentor, leader, and so much more. He served his family, community, & church with his whole heart and always put others before himself. From Jenks sports to St. Bernard’s youth ministry to Strong Family Financial, Chad’s servant heart touched so many. He was seen as not only a leader & mentor to many, but truly just known as everyone’s dad.

Chad truly embodied what it means to live a Lyfe by Design. He lived a Strong LYFE. We hope you enjoy this recording we did with him back in the month of May. Maybe you will learn something from the legacy he is leaving behind.Or maybe you will be inspired by the lyfe he led. Countless people have been impacted by his example.

Thank you Chad, for being you, for living a Strong LYFE and leaving the world a better place than you found it. 

In this episode, we were graced with the presence of a Legend. Coach Allen Trimble came and recorded a podcast with us and it was nothing short of gold. Coach really opened up in this recording and he gives a lot of info you might not know. He shares his back story, his love story, what it was like behind the scenes of winning championships, coaching young athletes, and he more than candidly shared some of what its been like to go from a winning Coach to someone facing the battle of ALS. 

Despite the opposition he has been experiencing with the illness, he is doing amazing things to make an impact on the world. Not only does he share personal details of his life you will enjoy but he knows EXACTLY what his Why in life is now, where his value in life comes from, and as he shares, the words come out powerfully. As you hear him speak, you can clearly hear he was a champion, he is a champion and he will always be a champion along with investing in others and help make them champions. 
This episode is filled with greatness. You will be inspired, challenged, and motivated to be better after hearing this.
