In her early 20s, Jamie Hess was a PR hotshot climbing the ladder of success and living the glamorous high life in New York City. To the outside world, it looked like she had it all together. But on the inside, fearing she could never live up to her perfect trailblazing television mom, Joan Lunden, she held a secret. She was a high functioning cocaine addict, barely able to keep her head above water.

“…I do believe in making your mess, your message. And that’s really why I’ve taken this on as my journey…And so all of that said, when I did get sober… just like anything, you’ve got to keep practicing until you get good at it…”

Jamie has transformed her life and she is helping others do the same at meetjamiehess.com

More than 20 years ago, Bradley Rapier walked away from pursuing a career in medicine and pioneered a movement in Los Angeles that rocked the dance community, and changed the landscape of hip hop on film and live TV. Today, as a world renowned choreographer, producer and speaker, he is showing people how to groove beyond the obstacles of life and embody the endless creativity, joy and power of the urban dance movement.

“…It was really amazing…this pursuit of the culture, of street dance culture, that…grew into a movement [and] created The Groovaloos as a part of that…the excitement that people had for this new thing that we’re bringing together, in terms of a celebration of the freestyle celebration of the art form…”

In full transparency, I’m not a whiskey drinker, nor am I an expert on such spirits. But John Sorgini’s story from my one-time corporate lawyer to retired Air Force Colonel to spirit entrepreneur has me intrigued. He’s created many career chapters for himself, and they are deeply rooted in his passion and commitment to integrity, and the endless search for excellence.

“…You know, I thought about this for years. I visited other distilleries and I went to Bourbon school, tried to learn some things about it, and put all those pieces together…I knew I wanted  to make something, rather than a service…I looked into it for so long, my wife was, like, either do it or stop talking about it. And we just decided to do it…”

It may have taken Donna Martin 30 years to make the huge decision to leave her corporate job as a chemist and follow her passion, but she did it. In her words, she went from working the dream to living the dream as the owner of the Mill River Winery.

“Winemaking is a combination of wine, science, and love to make good wine…As you go through your life…your priorities kind of change and my career…the love of chemistry and the science that I had, [I] really took a step back…I had to look at my life balance…But in that time, I was able to navigate a way that I could pursue…a second career that included my passion…”

After more than a decade on the radio, Jack Lepiarz left his safe job as a well-known news anchor in Boston to become a full time circus performer.

“…Being on stage since I was six years old, it has made me very comfortable with things not necessarily going according to plan and things going awry…and so when I was a reporter for WBUR, I basically became our breaking news guy…if you need someone to go…and be ready to talk live without a script…I was good at that…I’m also able to stay calm when things don’t go according to plan…everything has gone wrong in my show up to, and including me setting myself on fire…”

An award-winning journalist and best-selling author who went back to college in her 60s to become a psychotherapist, Ann Dowsett Johnston is writing her next chapter with authenticity and raw honesty. But that’s only a piece of her story. She also outed herself to the world as a recovering alcoholic after years of feeling like a failure despite outward success.

“…It wasn’t until I wrote my book, ‘Drink’where I felt like the most ‘Ann’ I’ve ever felt…the truth of the matter is, I wanted my book to be a secret friend to anyone, any woman, who wasn’t willing to say she had a drinking problem…”

“…We just thought, you know, “I don’t think enough people know about this. Let’s try and bring it to men over 50. And let’s do it in a funny way to draw them in, so that they can learn about what some of the issues are that they’re going through….”

If you’ve ever had a Sam Adams beer, you may know that it originated in Boston, Massachusetts. But what you may not know is that the woman behind making it a household brand, and a behemoth in the industry, didn’t even drink beer when she co-founded the company. Rhonda Kallman is a whiskey drinker, and today is distilling her own spirits and liquors.

“I knew I wanted to make whiskey, and I knew I wanted to make it here in Boston…the biggest reward for me is when I see consumers try what we make, and their eyes light up and they love it…”
