His story is one of perseverance, hard work, and overcoming significant challenges. On a personal level, I found many similarities in our journey. You might, too!

In our conversation, John opens up about his journey from a small town in New York to becoming a successful entrepreneur and author, a journey that might sound familiar to those of you who know my background!. He discusses how he overcame a near-fatal accident, worked multiple jobs to support his family, and eventually built a top company in Manhattan.

John talks about growing up in New York and wanting more than what he saw at home. Despite numerous setbacks, including a severe car accident that left him with significant injuries, John’s determination never wavered. He didn't rely on therapy but instead pushed himself to recover and keep moving forward.

John shares how he climbed the corporate ladder in Manhattan real estate, from being fired due to company corruption to working multiple jobs, and eventually finding success. He started from humble beginnings, working as a janitor, and eventually opened his own company, navigating through economic downturns and bouncing back each time.

John’s belief in hard work and honesty is evident throughout his story. He emphasizes the importance of integrity in business, noting how being genuine and truthful has helped him build strong, lasting relationships and a solid reputation.

Today I bring you my interview on the How'd It Happen Podcast with Mike Malatesta. In this episode, I open up about my life, career, and the philosophies that have shaped my journey.

During our conversation, I reflect on my early drive and the mentality that set me apart. From a young age, I’ve always been driven by a desire to innovate and think differently. I questioned the status quo and carved my own path, which often made me feel like a misfit. This drive, combined with a willingness to challenge conventional wisdom, has been a constant theme throughout my life, and it’s what has made me a successful entrepreneur. 

One of the most transformative experiences I discuss was my near-death experience in 2013. Facing a life-threatening challenge forced me to reevaluate my priorities and changed my perspective on success and happiness. This pivotal moment made me focus more on relationships and personal fulfillment rather than just professional and financial achievements. I realized that true success lies in meaningful connections and making a positive impact on others. .

A full 60% of Americans say their career is unsatisfying, and a whopping 19% say they are “miserable” in their job. 

If that’s you, this episode of the Wealthy Wellthy Podcast is just what you need! 

Today, I sit down with Cindy Ertman, a renowned coach and former mortgage executive whose personal journey is a masterclass in career transformation and overcoming adversity.

Cindy’s initial venture into journalism didn’t fulfill her passion, which led her to the dynamic world of real estate. Despite early setbacks, including being reassigned against her wishes and grappling with a commission-only job while caring for a newborn, Cindy’s resilience shone through. Her decision to move to Southern California to reinvent her career in land acquisition marked the beginning of a significant transformation.

In our conversation, Cindy candidly discusses how she navigated fears and uncertainty by embracing bold life choices. Her rise to Executive Vice President, the unexpected end of that role, and her subsequent venture into establishing a leading mortgage bank underscore her ability to turn challenges into opportunities.

Welcome to the Wealthy Wellthy Podcast, where we explore the intersection of Wealth, Health, and Entrepreneurship. I'm Krisstina Wise, and today I have the pleasure of sitting down with Kyle Gray, a professional storyteller!

 I first met Kyle through mutual friends, and I was immediately struck by his profound understanding of the transformative power of storytelling in business.

Kyle started out with dreams of being a musician, but life had other plans. His journey took a dramatic turn when he faced a severe autoimmune thyroid condition while living in Thailand, a challenge that came from poor gut health. This health crisis led him to work with a company that helped people craft their stories to grow their businesses effectively. Since, Kyle has become a master storyteller himself and now helps other entrepreneurs learn how to create a narrative that resonates with an audience and inspires action.

In our conversation today, Kyle talks about the importance of “crafting” a narrative that is clear and compelling while focusing on the essential elements that connect with an audience. He adds that the common thread he’s noticed among successful entrepreneurs is how they turn their significant challenges or 'dark moments' into greatness, that becomes a pivotal part of their hero’s journey, much like my own.

Kyle believes that articulating one's story includes communicating one's core values and vision in a way that resonates with others. These key components are the elements that  connect to and expand one's audience.

Join us as we delve into these topics and more, unpacking the lessons Kyle teaches about storytelling. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a health professional, or someone passionate about personal development, you’ll love Kyle’s story on the importance of story! 

In our latest episode of the Wealthy Wellthy Podcast, I had the distinct pleasure of speaking with Bronson Kaufusi, whose life story offers profound insights into adaptability, resilience, and strategic thinking. I met Bronson at the Safe 2 Feel conference, a gathering dedicated to supporting adolescent mental health, and was immediately struck by his commitment to personal and community well-being. His narrative is not just about athletic prowess but also about thoughtful life transitions and financial savvy.

Bronson’s early life was marked by diverse interests, including various sports and musical pursuits, laying a robust foundation for his adaptable approach to life and career. His time in the NFL with teams like the Baltimore Ravens and the New York Jets taught him about the ephemeral nature of sports careers and the critical importance of financial planning. After his NFL career, Bronson successfully transitioned into real estate, applying the discipline and teamwork skills he honed on the field. He emphasized the importance of mentorship and building relationships, which were instrumental in his smooth transition from sports to business.

On this episode of the Wealthy Wellthy Podcast, my guest is Dr. Giselle Batcheller, a notable figure in the field of holistic health and regenerative medicine. Gisselle's unique path from aspiring dentist to a specialist in regenerative aesthetics and integrative medicine is not just inspiring, but also deeply informative. Her approach combines her rich educational background with personal health experiences, leading to a profound understanding of holistic well-being.

Giselle's background is rich and diverse, with roots on the East Coast and a formidable academic path through Georgetown University, Chapel Hill, and beyond. She embodies the spirit of continuous learning and innovation, studying under renowned doctors and leading in the realms of dentistry, integrative medicine, and aesthetics with a holistic approach. Gisselle's story is one of resilience and discovery, overcoming personal health challenges by embracing functional and integrative medicine. 

This week on the Wealthy Wellthy Podcast, I explore the impact that work ethic has on creating wealth. 

My guest is Ben Reinberg, a seasoned financial advisor and author whose journey from a modest but important Midwestern background to becoming a millionaire is both inspiring and instructive.

Ben's story begins in a lower-middle-income family in the Chicagoland Area, where his entrepreneurial spirit was kindled by mowing lawns and shoveling driveways. Despite being an introvert, Ben learned the value of socializing through sports, understanding the importance of discipline and hard work from a young age. His journey underscores a universal truth: real success comes from within, driven by a relentless pursuit of growth and self-improvement, something so many entrepreneurs possess.

Our conversation delves deep into the mindset and strategies that have shaped Ben's success. From his early days of unconventional endeavors to his disciplined approach to business and investments, Ben's insights offer valuable lessons for anyone aiming to achieve financial independence.
