Wake Up The Sun

I met Rayna several years ago when she walked into one of my classes at a local fitness studio. Her energy, passion and attitude were contagious as she crushed the workout and smiled the whole way through. We remained in contact and over time and I watched her selfless giving, teaching, coaching and passion for life unfold. Rayna has an innate ability to speak with anyone, anywhere and it goes beyond being friendly, she genuinely cares and you can feel it when with her. With all the change in the last year, she was able to go out on her own, start her own company, write a book and still find time to make every minute count in her day.

There are people that talk about change and taking action and then there are people that get to work and do it. Rayna is one of those people who gets it done, smiles and is an amazing woman in the community home and abroad. Her daily routine has variety and her unceasing work ethic unmatched. Enjoy the show and please go check out what she is up to @the_rose_grows. You can also check out her new book and upcoming kickstarter campaign for The Girl Who Said Hello to Everyone in the show. Enjoy!

Paul Christopher is a man of the world who has enjoyed a very active lifestyle, traveling around the world mixing it up with world class athletes, playing competitive beach volleyball and landed in South Florida as his current destination. He has worked in the fitness industry for many years and co- created G+O (gravity and oxygen) several years ago in east Boca Raton Florida. He has experienced the challenges of being a business owner in 2020 with the hit of a pandemic that closed most businesses but emerged triumphant with a new outdoor facility in addition to his indoor training classes. He focuses on top notch fitness professionals, a true fitness experience for his clients and many exciting things to come in the new year.

Fitness is not all that drives PC. His role as a father, community leader and lulu lemon ambassador hold a high priority as he has been a true example of someone who goes all out for anyone and everything. He elevates all those around him and stays true to who he is and what he believes in. I hope you enjoy the show and his unique morning routine that even had me wanting to try it. Go check out his team @gravityandoxygen_fitness and his personal @pcology.

The restaurant business isn't for everyone! For Troy Ganter, he was born into it and learned from a young age what it was like to be in the front of the house to the underbelly of everything involved in with restaurants. His love for his family, friends, community and philanthropy was and is strong to this day. Several years ago that took a turn down a dark path where Troy had to make a decision and change how he approached life. He sought help for his struggles and hasn't looked back. There are ups and downs but living a clean and sober life has allowed him to be more communicative, open and honest with those around him. 

He is a proud father, husband and very active in his community. He and his team came through a pandemic to find new possibilities, incredible amounts of peace and change for the better in his restaurant and concepts for growth in a new way of providing the best customer experience. Please enjoy the show, recorded live in his Papas Raw Bar location over some delicious food and conversation about family, love, loss, struggle and turning tragedy into triumph.

Dave Niknafs came from a large family, got lost in the shuffle and ended up taking care of himself at an early age. He has faced some serious health challenges which led him to approach life and do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. It led him down a dark path of drug addiction, repeated failure after failure and landing in South Florida seeking to be an actor.

After a chance encounter with a friend, he became involved in the treatment industry and sought out to build an incredible facility to serve people struggling with a variety of issues. His business focuses on the family aspect and caring for the individual as a whole. He focuses on treating everyone the same way, with kindness and love. He has an amazing team of people around him that foster a tremendous work environment and giving back to the community. "Create an impact, be consistently kind, empathetic and loving to everyone."

From a small town in the midwest, Jeremy excelled at sports early on which allowed him to do anything he wanted without any consequences. After several challenging attempts to get his life together, he found himself in South Florida starting over. He was reintroduced to sobriety, fitness, health, wellness and accountability from some awesome people living a better life. His passion for helping others soon exploded as he began to compete in Crossfit, workout events and other community based opportunities which sparked an idea. He founded Recovery through Repetition which is a donation based workout program for those in early recovery and gave people a place to go on Friday nights for fitness, fun and fellowship.

His passion for helping others and living a new life inspired his sister who has dedicated her doctorate studies on early recovery and the benefits of fitness which is entitled "The Dreamer Project". Please listen in as he shares his morning routine of watching the sunrise on the beach, to helping as many people as possible throughout the day, He surrounds himself with greatness, stays humble and gives it everything he has every day given.

So grateful to have my wife Chelsea Williams on the show. She was born in NY and raised in South Florida, right here in Boca Raton. She followed her passion for teaching and helping families with their young children. Knowing several families, she found herself working for one in a business setting. From there she was able to learn, grow, find solutions and understand the inner workings of a successful business. 

When FROPRO was growing she saw her chance to step in and take it to the next level. Chelsea took FROPRO statewide and is continuing to expand and see the collective vision become real. Listen as she talks about her own personal struggles, overcoming adversity and finding true purpose as the Boss lady of FROPRO snack bar.

Fresh from the beat laboratory in East Boca where he makes music and spends some personal time banging away on the drums, Jordan and I discuss his routines with work, fatherhood, sobriety, weight loss and fitness and what it takes to move forward in an uncertain time. Jordan works in the treatment industry and helps as many people he can on a daily basis, on his off time he really enjoys his mornings and evenings with his son and being a present father figure in his life. When he is not traveling for work, he also enjoys playing and producing music. 

His morning routine is heavily influenced by music and disappearing into the sounds of  getting ready for the day. His routine can change as he evolves in sobriety day to day. When working with others, he asks the important questions and helps people realize that their journey is their own. They get to tailor make their own life so they do not live in the past or the future. His biggest focus is doing what you can right now and make it your best.  He emphasizes enjoying the now and keeping it moving while listening to some triumphant music. If you need help or want to learn more about Jordan you can find him on instagram at __jordanmeyers__ or on facebook at Jordan Meyers.

National Champion swimmer, lawyer, crackhead, barista and artist. These are only a few words that have described Scott Jeffries life. We sat down with him in his new artist studio that he shares with other local artists to find out more about his amazing journey. His art is what makes his happy and after losing his corporate job as a result of the global pandemic Scott became more immersed in creation and painting. This caught the eye of some of his friends who gave him a shot in the 0 empty Spaces studio in Boca Raton. He now paints, sells, installs and teaches what he loves. As Scott always says, so what, now what and what’s next. Always be open to changes and anything can happen. Please enjoy the pod and one of my best buds sharing his life.

You can reach Scott on instagram @scottart, @scottart_tees or drop by his studio at 0 empty spaces in the Town Center Circle of Boca Raton.

The road to success comes in many different forms. For Jacob Karram It comes in the form of slime. His passion for many different hobbies changed when he found slime and its many different properties. He became “obsessed” with It and to his words he believes that unless you love what you are doing, then you will be miserable. At the young age of 17 he created an online presence with the sheer enjoyment of slime and built a community.

From there, he took his passion to production and is now shipping his slime creations worldwide. Surrounded by supportive family and friends, Jacob has built an incredible business and following. Please enjoy the podcast and listen to how one young man's passion has created massive success worldwide.
