  • 62: Darren Prince – Aiming High
    Darren Michael Prince (born February 6, 1970) is a sports and celebrity agent who grew up in Livingston, New Jersey. Prince started a mail order company selling baseball cards at the age of 14 called Baseball Card City and also traveled around the country doing trade shows. At the age of 20, he sold his company for $1.0M and formed Prince of Cards which became an industry leader in private autograph signings for sports and celebrity memorabilia with athletes and celebrities. A-List celebrities like Muhammad Ali, Magic Johnson, Pele, Joe Montana, Smokin’ Joe Frazier, Dennis Rodman, Hulk Hogan, Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra, and Jenny McCarthy all worked with Prince.

    In 1995 Prince started a new venture called Prince Marketing Group (PMG) which represented athletes and celebrities for marketing deals consisting of endorsements, licensing, TV, Movie, book deals, autograph signings, and appearances. His first client to sign with the firm was none other than Magic Johnson. Soon after Smokin’ Joe Frazier, Hulk Hogan, Pamela Anderson, Chevy Chase, and Dennis Rodman followed.

PMG also has negotiated the only licensed trading card deals for the now President Donald Trump, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, and Joe Manganiello.

  • 60: Julie Marie Palumbo - Best Whole Self
    After spending 10 years in the Financial Industry and suffering from a chronic illness, Julie decided to pursue a career in what she had been passionate about for years–creating a better, healthier, and happier life. Two years after reaching remission with her Crohn’s Disease, Julie is sharing her knowledge and experiences to change the life of others.

    On the show today, we talk about why she switched careers and the surprising similarities. We also discuss some fantastic programs and tips Julie has, including how to stay gluten-free while traveling, something with which I personally struggle.

    As a certified Nutrition Consultant and Health Coach, Julie inspires individuals who are on a mission to feel better physically and mentally in order to boost daily energy and productivity. Rather than focusing solely on what one should and should not eat, Julie focuses on long-lasting habit changes and mindfulness that provide individuals with the proper tools to lead a healthier lifestyle.

    Julie believes that being healthy is about maintaining a balance that allows you to enjoy life while creating the proper foundation to give you a better tomorrow. She knows for a fact that it is important to reach the optimal level of both physical and emotional health because, without one, we cannot enjoy the other. This has led to her personal motto, “It is not about being skinny, it’s about being your BEST WHOLE SELF”, for which her health coaching business is named.

    In addition to numerous public speaking engagements at companies like AstraZeneca, Athleta, and Morgan Stanley, Julie has also been featured on several podcasts, including iHeartRadio and RadioMD, and has served as a guest on MyNEWPhilly.com, ReachMD, DisruptED TV, PHL17, and Times Square Today. She is also currently the host of DisruptHealth, an online TV program creating compelling conversations about health and wellness.

  • 54: Brian Drolet, Jordan Eubanks, and Christopher Livingston - Be Like Trees
    Inspired by his love of nature and the spirit by which his late mother lived, a former MTV star and struggling artist, who now can't even pay rent, finds courage to try something new, stand-up comedy.

    "We're simply three guys who wondered what if you could create an entire feature film using just an iPhone. No crew, no lighting, no makeup, just the camera and the assets we had before us. That's how we decided to focus the story on our actual lives and use ourselves and basically our entire lives as the sets and subject matter."

    Brian Drolet is originally from Queens, NY, and started his acting career in NY theaters as well as several MTV shows where he met Jordan Eubanks who is originally from North Carolina, the two became best friends and went on to both star on season one of MTV's The Hills as well as started producing independent films together. That is how they met Chris Livingston, an NYU Graduate Film School alumni, while making the indie feature Dumbbells, a comedy about a gym staff.

    Collaborating and operating in such a freeing medium we decided to take advantage of all the iPhone had to offer, and along with a Moondog anamorphic lens, an Osmo Mobile gimbal, and some lavaliere mics we set out to shoot a full feature not worried about big names or big budgets and instead focused on heart and story.

  • 53: Annie Grace - This Naked Mind
    For this episode, I was able to talk with Annie Grace, author of the book This Naked Mind. Our fascinating and enlightening conversation reveals that Annie's book primarily addresses the subconscious beliefs most of us have around alcohol. After understanding and tackling these beliefs, you can make a more mindful choice and rely on less willpower when trying to control your drinking.

    We unpack what Annie means by "controlling drinking" and how it is a very individual thing, it means different things to different people.

    How did Annie go from two bottles of wine each day to complete abstinence? Find out what she means when she explains, "I stopped trying to stop drinking."

    I asked Annie what was it in her subconscious that was keeping her stuck? And how did she unlock this key theory to help her control her drinking? Listen in to hear how she discovered it really came down to three layers of belief; substance, society, and self.

    Her next book is called The Alcohol Experiment, a 30-day challenge that will help people find the answer to the big question, "Would my life be happier if I was drinking less?"

    Background
    Annie Grace is the author of This Naked Mind: Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness & Change Your Life. Annie grew up in a one-room log cabin without running water or electricity outside of Aspen, Colorado. She discovered a passion for marketing and after graduating with a Masters of Science (Marketing) she dove into corporate life.

    At the age of 26, Annie was the youngest vice president in a multinational company, and her drinking career began in earnest. At 35, in a global C-level marketing role, she was responsible for marketing in 28 countries and drinking almost two bottles of wine a night.

    Knowing she needed a change but unwilling to submit to a life of deprivation and stigma, Annie set out to find a painless way to regain control. Annie no longer drinks and has never been happier. She left her executive role to write this book and share This Naked Mind with the world.

    In her free time, Annie loves to ski, travel (26 countries and counting), and enjoy her beautiful family. Annie lives with her husband and three children in the Colorado mountains.
