In this episode I sit down with Leland Wells Austin. Leland owns 2 businesses, he’s an entrepreneur, he studied Environmental Science at USF and Environmental Management of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of Florida, he’s a Florida Gator, a cowboy, an experienced breeder, he’s an avid hunter and fisherman, and he’s a member of the Dade City Chamber of Commerce.

And frankly, that only scratches the surfaces. Leland is an extremely impressive guy who is wise beyond his years. He’s only in his mid 30’s yet, he owns multiple businesses, has a fleet of vehicles and a staff of almost 10 people under his supervision.

He is driven and motivated to be successful and he’s not letting anything stand in his way. Leland is the type of person that you’d want your son to look up to. He’s a role model and someone you can really mold your life after.

In this episode I sit down with Mr. & Mrs. Robert and Jessica Borras. They are the founders and owners of American Pizza Oven. American Pizza Oven is located at 37941 Meridian Ave. in Dade City Florida. They are on Facebook @APODadeCity and you can find them online at AmericanPizzaOven.com.

In this episode, I sit down with Stephanie Troutman Knight. Stephanie is a founder and former Executive Director a non-profit organization called A New Generation. She is the founder and owner of Rustic Elegance vintage design and decor. She’s a mother. She’s a cancer survivor. She’s a health coach. She’s a talented artist and painter. She’s an entrepreneur. She has her shop in downtown Dade City, and she’s a member of both the Dade City Chamber of Commerce and the Merchants association.

She has an absolute amazing and powerful story to tell, and I feel immensely honored to have been in her presence, having the opportunity to pick her brain about so many different subjects of her life. She is a multi-talented individual and an inspiration for us all. I’m excited to be able to tell her story.
