Travis Marrow is the founder of Topoglow Granola. Travis had a successful career in the Biotech industry, making a great living, but eventually had a desire for more. He had a few life-changing moments that led him to make the leap.
One of those moments was on a plane while he was traveling to China for work. A random conversation with the passenger next to him changed his life.
This is a special episode as Travis is the show’s first listener turned guest. He first reached out to me about a year ago when he was still working in Biotech and since then has started Topoglow and it is now available nationwide (See link to the website below and order some granola).
Topoglow Granola is handmade, in small batches, with only 100% premium organic ingredients. They thoughtfully source their ingredients from local suppliers and small farms whenever possible to create a uniquely phenomenal granola, just like the naturally phenomenal alpenglow their granola is inspired by. Every batch of our granola is hand crafted by their master granolasseur who takes the time to ensure that every oat is beautifully baked.

Leah Garcia’s parents joined the Apostolic United Brethren (AUB) when she was 10 years old. The main purpose of the AUB is to marry multiple women and have as many children as possible in order to gain access to the “Kingdom of Heaven.”
Leah left the cult when she was 16. This shattered the relationship with her family, and she had to adjust to living in the outside world all alone. I’m not going to give away any of her story in the show notes because it’s that captivating.
She now lives a happy life, married, with a daughter. She has been through more than most could even imagine and has come out on the other side a fantastic individual.

Professional football player-turned-actor Isaac Keys, doesn't believe in letting anything stand between him and the achievement of his goals.
As his last name serendipitously indicates, the Saint Louis, MO native realizes that he's innately armed with the utensils necessary to bypass any and all barriers. Among these tools are talent, optimism, perseverance, a killer work ethic and a healthy heap of faith.
Isaac is one of the stars of the Epix original series Get Shorty, which is now available on Netflix. Check it out! It is one of maybe favorite shows I’ve seen in years. He also stars in the new show The Oath.
Isaac has been an underdog from day one. He played football at Morehouse College, a Division II school. Despite being a walk-on at a small football school, this did not deter Isaac from working hard enough to make it to the NFL. Isaac was a journeyman in the league from 2001-2007.
Once his football career was over, he decided to go against the odds once again and become an actor. Isaac had no formal acting background but worked his way through the industry for years and has now landed starring roles in Get Shorty and The Oath.

CEO of Assistagram.us + Professional Dancer, Zach Benson is an entrepreneur, hustler and world traveler. Zach also was a round 4 finalist on the hit TV show “So You Think You Can Dance.
He specializes in creating Instagram campaigns reaching millions. His philosophy in life is to encourage others to reach their potential through the arts and social media.
Seeing a shift from traditional advertising and marketing to social media marketing, Benson decided to jump in, creating Assistagram.
However ironically, instead of spending money on marketing his own services, Benson thought of ways to help those around him by offering his services at a huge discount. He did this simply as a way to build quality relationships and testimonials, and as a result, let the word-of-mouth spread.
Zach is all about becoming the best version of himself and making people & companies better.

Goli Kalkhoran is a lawyer-turned-entrepreneur. As Goli puts it “that’s a fancy way of saying I quit practicing law, did a lot of soul-searching, tried a bunch of different things to figure out what I wanted to do next, and happened upon an idea I turned into a business.”
Goli was the quintessential risk-averse, people-pleasing, type-A personality. She studied hard, got good grades and followed the predictable path to a great law school, never really questioning what being a lawyer actually meant.
Not surprisingly, when Goli actually started to practice law, she hated it. At first, she accepted the fact that regardless of her happiness she had to work as a lawyer. She never considered another possibility. Instead, she would daydream of winning the lottery.
This all changed when she had her first child and moved from Arizona to California. Every application she filled out for a new job in law made her feel stick to her stomach, and with the support of her husband, she finally made the leap to entrepreneurship.
Learn the journey Goli has been on the last few years starting her own business. She recently launched the podcast “Lessons From a Quitter” where Goli interviews individuals like herself who were lawyers, doctors, etc. and left to pursue what made them truly happy in life.
