Im building something special, and that’s the people in my community. My business and I exist to build people stronger through fitness and martial arts. Fitness Fight Factory was founded in 2010 by my business partner UFC and BKFC Champion Johnny Bedford. With his leadership I was able to put together a successful professional career as a Mixed Martial Artist, Coach and Gym Owner. Read more >>>

“Romantic Love”, “Partnership Love” I really think this kind of love is something “made”, “toxic”, “Evil”. ¿Why? Cause the human being is very egocentric. It just base on “Be loved”, but no into “LOVING”. At least on this Generation. I dont believe anymore in no one. Just on me. Read more >>>

The topic of many of my speaking engagements involve being invisible. I often quote from Ralph Ellison from his novel Invisible Man: “I am invisible; understand, simply because people refuse to see me. Like the bodiless heads you see sometimes in circus sideshows, it is as though I have been surrounded by mirrors of hard, distorting glass. Read more >>>

Keeping this answer strictly on the work side of the equation, the wounds have been plentiful since 2020 when the globalist coup went overt starting with the pandemic hoax. This was a major obstacle for US manufacturing and the damage done was overshadowed by the mass media fear campaigns and fake economic data. Read more >>>

Gardening is my go-to happy place outside of work. My backyard had nothing but grass and scorching heat a few years ago, but I’ve been planting trees, bushes, roses, herbs, ivy, and wildflowers over the past five-ish years, and I love watching it evolve. Not every plant I buy survives, but the adventure is worth it. Read more >>>
Nesa Grider
Something outside of work that brings me the greatest joy is my grandson. People always say there’s nothing quite like the love you feel for a grandbaby, but I don’t think I truly understood that until the day he was born. The feeling is beyond words—it’s overwhelming, beautiful, and stirs up emotions I didn’t even realize were still tucked away. Read more >>>
Melva Williams
Family! I am the matriarch of my family and I take it very seriously. I strive to be an example of integrity, strength, and love. We do everything together. We travel, family outings, dinners, and just bonding. They are my village, they make me proud. Family over everything, but God! Read more >>>
Krystal Yates
My closest friends would probably say that what matters most to me is people. Helping them grow, succeed, and feel seen. Whether it’s an employee finding their voice, a client gaining clarity in their career, or a business owner finally feeling confident about their team, those moments light me up. They’d also tell you that integrity matters deeply to me. Read more >>>
Bailey Powell Aldrich
I think integrity is one of the most critical, underrated qualities a person can possess. Doing the right thing when no one’s watching is a testament to a person’s core values and what I respect most in others. It all goes back to the golden rule: treating people the way you’d like to be treated. Read more >>>
Nicole Bird
Frankly, it wasn’t until the past year that I started to harness my pain as a way to build myself and others. I realized my experiences with survival mode, discouragement, and feeling a greater calling that no one else around me seemed to have were something many other girls and women have gone through. Read more >>>
Eddie Renz
I didn’t come out until I was 43 years old. Growing up in a very conservative household, I was taught from an early age that being gay was wrong. I believed it so deeply that I tried everything to change myself. I spent six years in group therapy. I earned a master’s degree in theology. Read more >>>
Andrew Knowles
I feel most at peace when everything slows down, when I can truly be present and notice the quiet beauty in ordinary moments. It happens in the mornings with my kids, when the house is still and the light is soft, and I’m reminded how fleeting time really is. Those moments center me and remind me why I do what I do. Read more >>>
Loren Carlson
I feel most at peace when I’m with the people who I love the most and who love me the most, in those moments my heart is fully and completely filled and my soul is at peace.That’s one reason I enjoy photography so much, because I get the honor to capture that same peace and joy, in my clients and share it with them! Read more >>>
Eileen Chen-Mizuuchi
Yes—I get that excited about work! One of the most thrilling moments in my career is showing a patient the smile I’ve designed for them even before we start treatment. We call this a ‘Smile Trial.’ When a patient tells us they don’t smile fully or feel self-conscious about their teeth, we start by actively listening to understand their concerns. Read more >>>
Eugene C. Barnes
Yes. My relationship with praise is complicated; in some places, it’s felt like a popularity contest of endless shout-outs. Decades in ballet taught me a different metric: excellence is built in quiet, repetitive practice, not applause. I measure my best by craft, integrity, and outcomes, an internal scoreboard, not by mentions. So even without recognition, I still hold the standard and do the work. Read more >>>
Sandy Clark
There are moments in photography that stay with me long after the session ends and it’s not because of the lighting, the setting, or even the composition, but because of the trust shared between me and my clients. One such moment stands out vividly in my career. A woman had come to me for a dating profile session, visibly anxious and uncertain. Read more >>>
Mike Magolnick
I think the key to telling the difference between a fad and a true shift is asking whether it changes behavior in a lasting way. A fad might be flashy and exciting, but it fades as quickly as it arrives because it doesn’t really solve a problem or improve people’s lives. A foundational shift, on the other hand, is almost quiet at first. Read more >>>

If I laid down my name, my role, and every possession, what would remain is my faith, resilience, and love. Titles can be taken, roles can shift, and possessions can fade, but the essence of who I am a wife, a mother, and a grandmother (soon to 14 grandchildren by 2026!) will always remain. Read more >>>

I miss being a kid. I miss going to Toys ‘R Us and exploring the aisles, seeing Transformers, He-Man, ThunderCats, and GI Joe toys lining the shelves. I miss running into Kay-Bee Toys and being filled with wonder as I find all the new toylines. Read more >>>
Kelia Stuart
For a long time, I found myself chasing — chasing dreams, people, and opportunities that I thought would bring fulfillment. But chasing often led me down paths where I ended up lost and disconnected from myself. I realized that I didn’t actually know what I truly wanted; I was simply moving toward whatever looked appealing in the moment. Read more >>>

I tend to look at this with a broader lens. In business, my plans usually span about three years. The music industry is incredibly dynamic, and that timeframe feels both realistic and effective. But in my personal life, I make very different calculations. Read more >>>
Diana Castaldi
I’m not fighting the battle of trying to be the right artist for everyone anymore. If a client’s style or expectations don’t align with what I offer, I’m comfortable letting them go to someone who’s a better fit. That’s how I keep my energy, creativity and best work for the clients who truly value what I do. Read more >>>
Josh Hickman
My mother and I had a very difficult relationship. She was an exceedingly difficult person, but I always maintained contact with her, difficult as that could be. A totally unexpected series of life changes and disasters brought us closer together, as I needed her help, and she needed mine. Both of our lives had totally fallen apart. Read more >>>

I truly believe that the lack of communication breaks the bonds between two people. Being committed to communicating and giving your all to the relationship helps restore the bond. Both people must be fully committed. Read more >>>
Mehran Assadi
What breaks the bond is lack of trust. Trust can be eroded over time or broken in an instant. It takes hard work to restore that trust. Our business is built on trust and meaningful connections. Read more >>>

I believe that deep down, everyone loves all kinds of music. You might say you don’t like a certain genre—maybe 80’s pop or country—but then one song comes on that instantly takes you back to a moment in your life. It could be tied to a person, a place, or a memory, and suddenly you’re smiling. Read more >>>
Petya Hatch
One thing that I have always done ever since starting my photography business is offer a free maternity session when clients purchase a newborn session. Most people probably see this as an incentive to sell packages, but it really has a different purpose. The most important thing for me when working with clients is to build that relationship. Read more >>>
Antonio Palomarez
As a barber, I feel like our community is misjudged heavily based our appearance and stereotypes. Since we didn’t go to a formal college or university, people judge our capabilities and talent. However, barbering is a form of art and entrepreneurship without a degree, in this game you work and meet people with truly creative minds and unmatched grit that you can’t find elsewhere. Read more >>>

People often assume our business is just like the ice cream truck popsicles—brightly colored, filled with dyes, and loaded with unpronounceable ingredients. That’s not us at all. Our pops are handcrafted frozen desserts made with real ice cream and fresh fruit, designed for all ages to enjoy. Read more >>>

Their own self. A hairdresser has a special relationship with people. Our clients get mirror therapy without knowing it.The client talks to themselves in the mirror. The questions a hairapist ask can direct the conversation the client has with them selves. It can be a very interesting day of conversation for a hairdresser. Read more >>>
Erica Norwood
I believe one of the most common struggles people face today is a battle fought against themselves. Each person is born as exactly who they were meant to be. Each person has their own personality type, their own quirks, and their own passions, but far too often society beats it out of them over time, and the pressure to conform wins over. Read more >>>

I have a different idea of success. My friend Corey Cherry told ‘Success is doing what you love’ and I’ve felt successful ever since. People say to me often ‘man you’re gonna make it one day’ and I dont know how to tell them… I already have. I dont believe we have to wait for success. Read more >>>

Everyday I’ll usually get my day started with a cup of coffee and spending some time with my fiancé, then I get to work on new videos, new original music that I am currently writing and recording, writing a recording new scripts and sketches, and taking care of my garden in the backyard. Inbetween usual evening gigs, I stay pretty busy with music!! Read more >>>

My day begins with early rising, prayers, and sacred rituals alongside my nephew. These moments of connection to spirit and intention set the tone for the day, grounding me and inviting clarity, presence, and alignment with my purpose. I take time for meditation, affirmations, or journaling, listening deeply to guidance and wisdom that arises from within. Mornings are devoted to nurturing and supporting others. Read more >>>

My relationship with myself. Once I started to love myself and understand how I treat myself is pivotal for how the world sees me and most importantly how God sees me. I cannot give anything from my cup if I have not overflowed it myself. I cannot give anything to a child or partner until I have overflowed the love and care for myself. Read more >>>
Latonya Smith
Some truths run so deep in me, they don’t need to be spoken. They shape how I move, how I lead, how I create — not because I say them out loud, but because they live in my choices. Moral character is one of them. Doing what’s right, even when it’s hard. Choosing integrity, especially when no one’s watching. Read more >>>

One of the first moments I felt truly powerful was launching my own business. It felt like standing at the top of a mountain: every step I took, every decision I made, it belonged to me. I was unstoppable, full of purpose. My business was no longer just what I did — it had become who I was. Read more >>>

Something I’ve really changed my perspective on after experiencing failure is how I view rejection in the modeling industry. It’s so easy to get caught up in what jobs you book, how you look, or which castings you’re invited to, and when things don’t go your way it can feel really personal. Read more >>>
Thomas Riccio
Where are smart people getting it completely wrong? They’re still trapped in the illusion that humans are separate from everything else—that we’re just observers outside of nature, analyzing, managing, fixing, or destroying it from an imagined external standpoint. This covers much of what is considered progressive thinking. Read more >>>
