"THE RISE" with your host Marc Basil

In this weeks episode, I've decided to do something a little different.  Usually I have a guest on the show that is involved in some facet of the entertainment industry with the intention to be motivational and inspiring.  This week I have Frank DiTommaso, a successful entrepreneur and real estate broker, to share is story about how he became a successful main stay in the NY real estate game and almost lost everything on an investment gone bust. He walks us through the downward spiral of his investment, how he almost lost everything, managed to keep his head above water and come out on the other side more successful than before.  

Frank DiTommaso also hosts his own weekly podcast... " REAL TALK" with Frank DiTommaso.  

available on: spotify, google podcast, stitch, radio public, pocket cast and anchor.fm. 

In this weeks episode I bring on a blast from the past.  a 20 year friendship that all started while pounding the same pavement and chasing the same dreams.  Maja McIlravy comes on as we talk about her journey back into performing.  What she is doing to hone her craft... how she is striving to be an inspiration with her blog and how she is utilizing all of this to set a  good example for her daughters.  We also discuss mom life... her running up in the MAXIM COVER GIRL COMPETITION and along the way we take it back 20 years and tell stories and discuss the differences in life and business then vs. now. 

In this episode I talk about the importance of following your dreams and aspirations.  How we are all given the same ability to dream and how each one of us has to figure out our own vision and path in order to enjoy the process of getting where we want to be and the journey we will be taken on in order to achieve our goals and make our ultimate dreams come true.  You don't want to miss this episode.  Make sure you give it a listen.  Also, make sure you follow the podcast on instagram @therise_podcast.  You can also follow the host Marc Basil @mdbasil.
