In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Allison McCune Davis, best-selling author of 60 Is a Good Start and its companion Reignite! The 60-Day Dare Planner. Allison’s journey spans Hollywood, homeschooling, and holistic health. She began her career in television and film—working in Los Angeles on projects ranging from Star Trek: The Next Generation to PBS documentaries—before returning home to Oklahoma, where she raised five children (three biological, two adopted) and homeschooled for 20 years.

Allison shares how a health crisis in her early 40s shifted her life toward natural wellness. After struggling with adrenal fatigue, thyroid issues, and gut imbalance, she discovered the healing power of herbs, supplements, and nutrition. That awakening became the foundation for her mission: teaching women how to reclaim energy, balance hormones, and build habits for long-term vitality.

Her book blends science, longevity research, and practical habit-building. The core message: true transformation begins with small, daily choices.

“Your future is hidden in your daily routine.” - Allison McCune Davis

In this insightful episode, I sit down with Dr. Camille Preston, business psychologist, executive coach, and founder of AIM Leadership, to explore how embracing life’s challenges can unlock true growth and fulfillment.

Camille shares her journey from growing up in New England to working in Africa, on Capitol Hill, and ultimately founding AIM Leadership in 2004. Her path was shaped by a pivotal moment on 9/11, when she witnessed law enforcement leaders grappling with unprecedented responsibilities—an experience that inspired her life’s work in leadership development and inner mastery.

As an author of three books—Rewired, Create More Flow, and her newest release, Living Real—Camille empowers leaders to navigate complexity, face hard things, and reconnect with their authentic selves. She opens up about personal challenges, including the profound loss of five loved ones in five months, and how stepping back into nature and listening inward helped her reclaim joy and resilience.

Camille’s story is a masterclass in courage, service, and self-awareness.

“If we were all listening to that inner compass, we would be guided.” – Dr. Camille Preston

In this dynamic episode, I sit down with Tiffany Ashurian, Vice President of Leasing and Acquisitions at Ashco Centers Commercial Real Estate, a family office based in Jacksonville, Florida. Tiffany shares how she grew up immersed in commercial real estate, attending her first ICSC conference at the age of four, and watching her immigrant parents build a portfolio of shopping centers that shaped communities across the country.

After graduating from Harvard and earning her MBA from Harvard Business School, Tiffany worked at McKinsey before joining the family business in 2009—right in the midst of the Great Recession. She started from the ground up, cold-calling 100 prospects a day, and has since helped Ashco grow into a regional powerhouse with over 150 tenants and a mission to 10x their portfolio in the next three years.

Tiffany opens up about challenges, including redeveloping a 3,500 SF vacant Wendy’s into a 16,000+ SF award-nominated retail center at St. Johns Town Center. She credits her success to resilience, collaboration, and a fearless mindset.

“Act as though you will receive what you seek.” - Tiffany Ashurian

In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Nemesie Esteves, CCIM, co-founder of Bison Construction, whose journey from humble beginnings to industry leadership is powered by bold decisions and relentless curiosity. Born in Puerto Rico and raised in Orlando, Nemesie grew up on job sites, helping with family construction projects and learning firsthand the value of transformation—of spaces and of self.

After earning her undergraduate degree, Nemesie and her husband sold everything and traveled the world—from hiking national parks in a Toyota Matrix to backpacking Spain’s Camino de Santiago and managing an eco-hotel project in Thailand. But with their sights set on legacy, they returned home to Florida to launch Bison Construction, a company inspired by both their journey and their roots.

Nemesie shares how saying “yes” to every opportunity—whether founding a business, working for a developer, or jumping into commercial real estate—helped her grow her skills and her confidence. Her pursuit of excellence led her to earn her Master’s in Real Estate, a General Contractor’s license, and the CCIM designation—not for the credentials alone, but to ensure that her work would speak for itself.

Today, she mentors the next generation of professionals and reflects on how meaningful it is to empower others just starting out.

In this episode, I spoke with Charlotte Ustler, Principal at Ustler Development, whose passion for thoughtful city-building is rooted in her upbringing. Raised by a father who was a regional urban planner and a mother who led grantmaking for the Dr. Phillips Foundation, Charlotte was immersed in conversations about responsible development and community impact from a young age. That foundation led her to pursue a career in commercial real estate, beginning at just 18 years old. Her journey included 14 years at Kimco Realty, the nation’s largest owner of neighborhood shopping centers, where she managed multi-state portfolios and honed her skills in community-focused development.

Charlotte shares her bold decision to leave a corporate role to join her husband at Ustler Development, where they now lead transformative urban projects in Orlando. She opens up about the challenges of being underestimated early in her career and how she used that to her advantage at the negotiation table. One of her proudest achievements is Creative Village—a 68-acre public-private redevelopment in Downtown Orlando that combines education, workforce development, affordable housing, and innovative community programs that uplift the historically underserved Parramore neighborhood.

“Don’t be afraid to do the work.” - Charlotte Ustler

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Heather Konopka, CCIM, a commercial real estate leader whose journey from extreme hardship to professional success is nothing short of extraordinary. As a child, Heather grew up in poverty, unaware of just how difficult her circumstances were—scavenging for clothes, caring for her father with alcohol addiction issues, and becoming self-reliant at an early age. That upbringing sparked a fierce determination to break the cycle, leading her to become an entrepreneur by age 10 and later, the first in her family to attend college.

Heather shares how her path led her unexpectedly into real estate, starting in residential sales while working as a flight attendant. Eventually, she earned her CCIM designation and built a thriving commercial real estate firm, specializing in multifamily housing. When the Great Recession hit, she lost nearly everything—including her office building and marriage—but refused to let it define her. She rebuilt with grit, passion, and purpose.

One of Heather’s proudest moments came when she helped transform 82 acres of Texas land into a thriving residential community. Watching families thrive there today reminds her why she does the work. Heather’s story is a moving reminder that no matter where you start, you can build a life—and a legacy—of impact.

“Know your why.” - Heather Konopka, CCIM

In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Diane Allen, concertmaster, violinist, TEDx speaker, and best-selling author of Flow: Unlock Your Genius, Love What You Do. Diane shares how a childhood moment at a Cleveland symphony ignited her passion for the violin—a passion that evolved into a career not just in music but in helping others access their “flow state,” a neurological state that fuels joy, purpose, and peak performance.

Diane opens up about the challenges she faced, including performance anxiety, personal burnout, and caring for her mother with Alzheimer's while raising a rebellious teenager. These moments pushed her to reverse-engineer her own path into flow and create a three-step strategy to help others do the same. Her transformation—from classical violinist to electric violinist and corporate keynote speaker—underscores the power of reinvention and purpose-driven living.

Reflecting on leadership and influence, Diane speaks about leading an orchestra without saying a word, and how being in flow creates a ripple effect that influences others energetically. Her advice? “Get into your life the way a musician gets into the music.” Through purpose and presence, she believes we can all tap into our deepest genius and love what we do.
