Do you love to work out? Do you love to dance? If you answered yes to either of those questions, you are going to love my guest today.

Joseph Corella started dance at the age of seven with extensive training in jazz, tap, contemporary, and ballet. At thirteen, he became a member of famed choreographer Marguerite Derricks’ prestigious dance company, Tremaine Teen Company, and shortly thereafter appeared in Disney’s Geppetto alongside pop superstar Usher.  In 1997, Joseph was named American Dance Awards’ Teen Male Dancer of the Year. He later debuted on Broadway in All Shook Up and subsequently toured the US with productions of Grease (Dance Captain) and West Side Story.  He has also performed on television in Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place alongside Selena Gomez, MTV Dance Marathon, and the CW’s Hart of Dixie. Joseph has worked with actress Rebel Wilson where he choreographed a CATS routine dubbed “Catzercize” which has been shared by Rebel and her 6 million followers.  Using his dance, theatre, and fitness background, Joseph has traveled the globe, spreading his love and understanding of the importance of movement and the incredible benefits dancing it out can provide for your body and mind.

Joseph's proudest accomplishment to date is creating 567BROADWAY! an all-levels dance fitness class. This idea was born out of Joseph’s desire to create, encourage, and provide an inclusive sense of community where EVERYONE could have a safe space to dance and start their fitness journeys. 567BROADWAY! is a fun dance fitness experience that fuses the magic of Broadway with cardio and strength training to give you a full-body workout!

Today, we’re diving into two of my passions: sports and investing!

Deven Hurt is the co-founder and CEO of PredictionStrike, a fantasy sports stock market that allows users to buy and sell shares of professional athletes as if they were stocks. He saw a golden opportunity at the intersection of personal finance and fantasy sports, one that has been magnified by the recent trend of stock market gamification.

In addition to earning a bachelor’s degree from Harvard (where he’s now in law school), he’s had stints at Google, Microsoft, the NBA, and Nike. PredictionStrike was born from his passion for sports and aims to serve every type of sports fan. Since its founding in 2018, PredictionStrike has already completed over $4.5M worth of transactions on their network and received $1.9M in funding.

Deven’s dream is to bring consumer investing into an exciting new arena where the thought of sports and the share prices of your athletes are one and the same. I’m eager to share Deven’s story of what it’s like to navigate the uncharted waters of entrepreneurship and industry disruption.

Highlights of the episode:

· How to make money investing in your favorite athletes

Janice Lintz is a passionate, accomplished hearing loss consultant and advocate. She is the CEO of Hearing Access & Innovations, the leading company dedicated to helping the world’s businesses, cultural and entertainment institutions, government agencies, and mass transit organizations improve their accessibility for people with hearing loss. Since 2002, Janice has become the global “go-to” person on all matters related to access for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Equipped with an undergraduate degree in business, a law degree, and experience as a successful litigator, Janice leverages her broad background to articulate compelling business cases for organizations in both the for-profit and not-for-profit worlds to improve hearing access for customers with hearing loss.

A culture lover, Janice felt her heart sink whenever her daughter – diagnosed with hearing loss at 2 ½ – struggled to understand museum guides and actors on stage, even with hearing aids. Not one to wait, Janice plunged into the research and learned that cultural venues could provide better hearing access with relatively standard technology, such as the induction loop, a coil placed around a room that wirelessly transmits amplified sound to a hearing aid.

Janice works with domestic and international organizations to benchmark best practices and helps clients leverage the most effective solutions for their situations. Working with multiple organizations, she helped the NYC Transit recommend that induction loops be included in all NYC subway information booths and call boxes as part of President Obama’s $13.5 million Stimulus Package. She also worked with the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission to implement this same technology in all taxis. New York City is the first United States city to offer this technology in its transit systems.

The New York City resident and mother of two is a 2023 Harvard Kennedy School MC/MPA Candidate, 2021 Tell Her She Can’t Changemaker, and 2018 The Points Guy + Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Goalkeepers Partnership Travel Grant Recipient.

Janice is also a Consumer Education/Travel/Food writer. Thrive Global, The Outdoor Journal, Forbes/Lifestyle, Forbes Woman Africa, Yahoo Travel, Huffington Post, Johnny Jet, and Consumer Mojo published her articles.

She has traveled to 139+3 UN countries and 194 Travelers’ Century Club destinations and is on a quest to visit every country in the world.

Highlights of the episode:

· Why Janice chose changing the world vs. lowering her standards

· Induction loop technology as a customer service tool for people with hearing loss

· How Janice made New York City the model of excellence for accessibility

· Janice’s goal to visit EVERY country in the world

· Janice’s #1 tip on how to never give up
