Monisha Patel



Monisha Patel left her job in software sales and turned her side hustle into a thriving business. The hustle? Custom charcuterie arrangements, workshops and catering.

“I have had a lot of ideas that I have been too scared to attempt, too scared to start…There was always some reason not to do it. And this started so organically and so slowly and it grew into what it is today. So there were no more excuses. It already happened. It happened while I wasn’t really paying attention, so it really helped move things along…”

Eric Boles



Think back to a time when you felt you were at your best, on top of the world. What if you could feel that way over and over and over again. Eric Boles says it is possible. He’s a former wide receiver in the NFL who had natural talent and ability. But between injuries and what he says were his own mental roadblocks he got dismissed and became a janitor to make ends meet. Through his experiences, he learned how to unleash his own power within and today he’s an international leadership consultant and keynote speaker.

“I did not understand, at the time, the psychology beyond those things. I didn’t know there was a way to rebuild and restore and reframe how I looked at myself and looked at the world…”

Tara West



From psychotherapist to fashion stylist, my guest has risen above a traumatic childhood, to learning how to trust herself and live her best life. When I learned about Tara West’s story, I knew I wanted the world to know more about her because of her courage to transform her life and create a next chapter.

“There’s a lot of psychology that comes to play when I’m working with people, whether it’s hiding a certain thing, or working with a certain part of our body that we don’t like, even to the finances…My psychology background really…helps me understand people and where they’re coming from.”

You can learn more about Tara’s work, her blog, podcast and her fashion tips at tarawestfashion.com

Celine Charlotte



Growing up in the Netherlands, Celine Charlotte was told by her parents to live a “normal life,” which meant marry a rich man, stick to the rules and follow the status quo. But that is not what she wanted. Instead, she left everything behind, moved to America and went from no money in the bank to becoming a self-made millionaire and she wants to show others how they can do it too.

“I choose the career of being a journalist, mostly to educate myself…I choose to write a lot about entrepreneurship…So after doing that for seven years, ‘I thought, okay, now’s the time that I can start my own company…’”

You can meet Celine and learn from her courses and podcasts at celinecharlotte.com

Conor Cudahy



From the Peace Corps to pizza, that was the pivot Conor Cudahy made during the pandemic and followed his passion. Conor is the founder of Lala’s Neopolitan-ish Pizza, first as a mobile, pop-up pizza food truck to his first brick and mortar establishment.

“It was really just a hobby for me at the beginning…it never seemed like…a stable way to make a living. I think the pandemic really just showed everyone that there really is no stability in anything anymore. So why not follow your passion and do something that really makes you excited?’”

You can find Conor, and Lala’s Neopolitan-ish Pizza online at lalasneapolitan-ishpizza.com, at Time Out Market in Boston in the Back Bay neighborhood of The Fenway and on Instagram at @lalas_pizza.

Tammy Gooler Loeb says it is possible to find your way to greater career satisfaction, and she can help you put a plan in place.

Rob & Chris Gronkowski



What do two brothers—who happen to both be former professional football players—do once they’ve hung up their cleats? Besides giving of their time and talents to their favorite charities, Rob Gronkowski and his brother Chris have created their next chapters by becoming entrepreneurs. In fact, it’s an all-around family affair with a number of different business ventures.

“…The hard work that you learn, the long hours that you put in, definitely transfer over what you put into it as well, your personal efforts. So you definitely see the rewards, and you also see the failures if you don’t put that work in as well. But what I like the most is really, the team atmosphere is what you see and what you learned as an athlete. And it transfers directly over to building a team and building a business as well…”

Get to know Rob and Chris Gronksowski, IceShaker.com, and the GronkNation Youth Foundation.

What does a national journalist do when she’s simply tired of feeling like all she ever does is report on bad news? Michelle Figueroa knew exactly what to do and created her own movement of good news stories.

“…I pitched good news stories, and they were amazing. I was thinking people need to know these stories and they would get turned down to many hard news stories…I was sick of getting kicked to the curb. So I created my own platform. I became my own news director…”

Aaron Williamson



My guest knows what it’s like to hit rock bottom. He’s a former US Marine Corps veteran who upon returning home, lost everything and was living out of his car. Today he’s risen from homelessness to being a renowned fitness trainer for some of Hollywood’s elite.

“…It’s pretty surreal to be where I am now because growing up as a normal kid, you always watch the movies, you see the iconic movie, movie stars, and then all of a sudden, now you’re in front of them, training them, they’re looking to you for advice and guidance and transformation. So it’s a really surreal thing…”
