Wake Up The Sun

Ma' wife is a badass and has always been, this past weekend we sat down and spoke about the accidental entrepreneurship journey that we found ourselves on with the creation and growth of FROPRO snack bars.

We spoke about the beginning, highs/lows, successes and failures. Chelsea spoke about her journey in embracing the responsibility of the CEO position. One of the most awesome decisions she made was to do some work on herself after experiencing what is known as imposter syndrome. She took a massive leap by taking the time off from her daily life to look inward during a week long retreat at the Hoffman process. 

There were many takeaways but one of the biggest successes was learning to acknowledge her weaknesses and turn them into a superpower. A shift in perspective and taking action. It’s awesome for me to watch her change, grow and operate our business on such a high level. She’s a badass woman who gets it done and grateful to watch her wield her superpowers every single day. Check out the podcast and reach out to Chelsea @chelsealaurenwilliams on insta or email her at [email protected] if you have any questions about her experiences with anything you heard. Have a most triumphant day!

I met Zach when he was doing physical therapy at the gym. We got to talking about why he was there and working with the PT and it hit me that I had heard about his story through someone else awhile back. Several months ago while driving home on I-75 he was struck by a tractor trailer and was dying on the side of the road. By chance the trauma hawk helicopter was en route for another accident several miles ahead of his accident and those involved in the previous accident had passed. He was pronounced dead on the scene but resuscitated, rescued and airlifted to a local hospital. He was in a coma for several weeks, severe brain trauma, bodily injury where they had to put him back together and told he would never walk again. 

As the oldest of three, Zach has always been a leader, role model and family man. He looks after his younger siblings as his father passed shortly before his accident. His passion for helping others, hard work and determination gave him the strength to face his hardest challenge yet; to walk and prove to himself and others that he couldn't kept down. The journey has been hard fought with ups and downs, he has given everything he has into starting over and figuring out the next steps to move forward and help others that have experienced something similar. His charity....... ..................... aims to put those injured permanently and striving to regain basic movements in working hand in hand with the community.  If you or anyone else may be struggling with a life changing injury please reach out to Zach and connect. He is a remarkable young man who has no quit in his vocabulary. 

A change was necessary and when the moment was right Briah and Adly made the decision to pick up their whole life and move from Syracuse to South Florida. Being from the mental health space and immersed in a world of service and helping others they found no issue in finding work down here . They had been working on their skin care line since the move from New York and it was their passion and part time side hustle. When Covid hit the nation hard, there was less and less work for their day to day job so they made the decision to go full time and make SELPHF the number one priority. 

I had the chance to meet Briah and Adly through email a year or so ago and when we finally connected as local business owners there was much to talk about. After chatting, I thought it was necessary to invite them on the show and learn more about their journey.  What started as a part time side hustle became their full time vision of creating new scents, oils and treatments for natural skincare that focus on acne, eczema, anxiety and more. They are are consciously sourced, cruelty free product line that allow them to be creative and connect with their client and deliver the best possible customer service.

Since there was so much information and back story to get through to how Perfect Practice came to life, I wanted to dive into the co-founder and creator of the mats life to understand how he operates. Oren is a father of 2 young children, a native of South Florida and an avid golfer. He has always been an entrepreneur since high school and continued into his college years. Finding some success with an early business venture  in Amazon he learned the ins and outs of retail/online shopping, the importance of brand and product recognition and how to grow and scale a business.

His routine has changed with the starting of a family but due to his hard work and sale of his company he is there for them every single day. He believes that all ideas are important and has a white board and writes everything down. The idea doesn't get erased until he launches into full scale research and determines if it's something he wants to pursue or leave for another time. He is now focused on other ideas that may be a homerun, helping others succeed and consult with brands to help them grow and be successful. You can contact Oren on LINKED IN, which is the best place to find him or on instagram @okantor. We hope you enjoyed the show and have a most triumphant day!

Ive been fortunate to know Oren for several years and as a friend, client and idea generator it is always an interesting conversation. I was glad to have him on the show and get the background of his mind, his passion for ideas and following through with them. His last idea was crazy to most family, friends and people around him but he powered through and worked on it constantly. Through his determination and consistency, he found himself with a product that not only was sleek, sexy and customizable but actually improved peoples putting stroke on and off the golf course. 

Oren persisted, attending trade shows, reaching out to golf professionals via instagram, getting feedback and tinkering with his product until he and his partner were convinced they had it right. There were many long days and nights, people not responding or getting back to emails but he had managed to convert some reputable golf professionals into trying the product. One chance email landed his putting mat into the hands of Dustin Johnson who immediately posted using the product with his family during the beginning of Covid when everyone was inside and the world was closed. From that post and many long months, Perfect Practice grew by leaps and bounds until close to 4 years after the idea, it was sold to a golf conglomerate.

Orens story is one of hard work, determination, fierce resolve to always keep going and that no idea is a bad idea. Enjoy PART 1 of this podcast about the backstory of Perfect Practice and the journey of a lifetime. 

I recently met Josh after a workout at FROPRO. We chatted about working out, sports, fitness and left It at that. We connected again and he told me about his story getting down to the South Florida area. He was  a collegiate athlete and made It to the college world series and after the college runended up not signing with a professional MLB team. His sister had entered his name into a reality tv series filming in Hawaii.  He hopped a plane not knowing what to expect, became the first eligible male candidate introduced to the women and then stole Americas heart. His reality TV exposure allowed for the country to know him on all levels. During filming and on his way to possibly winning the entire show he was dealt a challenging tragedy with the loss of his sister.

Josh's world changed and he had to make some pretty important decisions that altered the course of his life.  He left the show with his new girlfriend and went home to be with his family and honor his sisters life. Albeit a tough point in his life, Josh overcame the sadness and hardship and took his recent fame and combine It with his knowledge and love of health and wellness. He created an online fitness platform and community which allowed him to work remotely anywhere he wanted. He and his girlfriend moved down to South Florida where he started a new life focusing on his passion for helping others transform themselves on all fitness levels. Check out his insta at _josh.goldy_ or his website at www.joshgoldyfitness.com. Enjoy the show and have a most triumphant day.

Serial entrepreneur Dustin Baker visited us here at HQ and what an amazing time getting to know him better. We were connected by a mutual friend and this actual podcast and while on business dropped by FROPRO and dove right into It! He had a life event that changed his life and direction to focus more on discipline, balance, family and telling those you love the most what effect they have on you.  Since the change he grew his passion for health and wellness into many different ventures and brands. He spoke candidly about ups/downs, success and failures and the prime time to get his work done where he is the most creative.

One of his newest ventures, BIOPROTEINtech is a non synthetic HGH formula that stimulates your bodies ability to maximize performance. I was fortunate enough to try the products in my daily routine in the evening time before sleep to maximize my overall sleep and recovery.  Please go to their page and check out all they are doing at www.bioproteintech.com and on their instagram @bioproteintech. They are ready and able to answer any questions you may have. We hope you enjoy the show and thank you for tuning in. Have a most triumphant day!

One of the most candid conversations about the entertainment industry, social media and more took place mid march with Frankie. He's an entertainer, singer/songwriter, dancer, choreographer and puts all of his heart and soul into everything he does. I had the opportunity to sit down with him in the midst of his busy schedule of upcoming projects to really dive into what It means to strive for greatness in the entertainment industry these days. Frankie ended the year with a sold out concert venue for New Years and accomplishing one of his life long dreams of performing with and for Paula Abdul. 

Frankie touches on the highs and lows, being real on social media and getting to know the real him. He explains that losses male the wins even better and ever since he was 11 years old he has been working on his craft and sharing It with the world. The challenge can be staying relevant in a constantly changing market and everyone having access to social media and putting out "inauthentic"material. His drive is to find the people that have the balls to take a chance and not just follow the algorithm that is dictated by social media. There is true talent out there and people are being overlooked for taking the time to become an established performance artist. 

No matter what, he strives to bring joy to someone each and every day. He shares about his routine, constant implementation of ideas and willing to go the extra mile to connect, interact and relate to his fans. Please go check out his pages, see what he is all about and get to know the real FJZ. You can reach him on @fjzulferino on instagram and tik tok, his official webpage at www.fjofficial.com and on YouTube at officialfrankietv. Enjoy the show!

I met Jimmy through mutual friends. I had seen his large as life personality training at the gym, around the Delray Beach downtown area and then was formally introduced when getting my life together. His energy and passion for life are unmatched as when you speak directly with him he is usually telling you how grateful he is and all the blessings that God has bestowed upon him. If you have been in the downtown area chances are he has bought you a coffee, yelled across the street saying good morning or you'll catch him on one of his walks about town.

As a man of many talents, adventures that have taken him all across the globe and several successful business ventures It was great to have him on the show to dive into what makes him operate so well. We discussed his morning routine which begins early and with daily scripture and meditation before he leaves the house.  It prepares him to go out into the world and spread love to anyone he comes into contact with. He also believes that It takes daily work, preparation and consistency to get anything done right. That combined with a strong faith and connection to a Higher Power as a guide. 

Please enjoy the show and reach out to Jim at his email [email protected]. He's a big face to face guy and getting a coffee might just change your life and perception. Enjoy the show!

I met Jesse years ago at a mutual friends gym in Delray Beach Florida. He flashed a smile, laughed and ran into class. We stayed in touch over the years and would always catch up on the golf course during the summer rounds. This past summer, I was fortunate to connect with Jesse more and get a little more of his backstory with his journey from youth tennis phenom to professional tennis stallion. 

He shared with me his dedication to the sport began at an early age  and as a 3 sport athlete in high school he stuck with tennis. He loves a good challenge and was always characterized as one of the hardest workers on and off the court forgoing his social life in high school and college to rise to the top level of tennis superstardom by beating the world number 1 in 2009. Due to some nagging sports related injuries he celebrated an amazing career and returned to south Florida to continue his passion for teaching and running tennis programs, commentating and traveling for world tennis events.

Jesse and I spoke about the commitment It took as a professional athlete day in and day out which carried over into his personal life and how he operates today. Even though he is not playing professionally he carries the same attitude in working with his programs and those that love the game. He still likes to compete in celebrity tennis events, Pickleball and on the golf course. Please enjoy the show and check out what he's up to on instagram @jbow_87, on twitter @jesselevine7 and at the Boca Bridges Racquet club. Enjoy the show!
