In this high-energy, deeply practical episode of Wisdom Stripes, Meg Tuohey sits down with Mina Elias, a multiple seven-figure entrepreneur, MMA fighter, founder of Trivium Group (one of the top Amazon advertising agencies in the world), and one of the most systematic thinkers you will ever hear. Born in Egypt, raised in Abu Dhabi, and forged by moving to Connecticut with a scholarship, $20K in student debt, and no one to ask for help, Mina built his way from chemical engineer to e-commerce empire through one principle: find someone who has been there, done that, and follow the plan. This episode is a masterclass in how to build systems for every area of your life and why asking for help is the highest-leverage move most people refuse to make. 🎧 Tune in and learn: The 11-category life system Mina uses to close the gap between where he is and where he wants to be Why ready, fire, aim and 1% better every day are not just sayings but actual operating principles How to hire an expert in something you don't know and not get burned What to do when a vendor, partner, or employee is underperforming and leveraging the relationship to stay Why integrity is the one thing that compounds forever learned from his grandfather, a general who refused every bribe If you know exactly where you're going, the way there gets 10 times easier.

In this rich, moving, and at times jaw-dropping episode of Wisdom Stripes, Meg Tuohey sits down with Tracey Yarad, award-winning songwriter, jazz vocalist, composer, and creator of the one-woman show All These Pretty Things. Tracey has had more than one life: a tumultuous first marriage to a man 17 years her senior who designed the Beatles' Sgt.

    88. He Built a 10 Billion Dollar Company. At 47 He Still Can't See the Road to Love. | Nick Sansone

    Episode 88 | He Built a 10 Billion Dollar Company. At 47 He Still Can't See the Road to Love. | Nick Sansone When you win, give the credit to the team. When you lose, the first person you look at is yourself. In this grounded and deeply generous episode of Wisdom Stripes, Meg Tuohey sits down with Nick Sansone, principal at Sansone Group, one of the top real estate development firms in the United States. With 60 million square feet in its portfolio and close to $10 billion in total value, Nick's firm didn't get there through ego. It got there through humility, hard work, faith, a round boardroom table with no head, and a Sicilian grandfather who once had a fruit stand. This conversation is about what it actually means to lead people with integrity, and what happens when you don't. 🎧 Tune in and learn: Why humble leadership isn't about getting it right, it's about owning it when you don't How Nick's family went from stealing coal to heat the house to building a billion-dollar portfolio The vacant warehouse with terrible soil that became their industrial pivot, and why they did it anyway What happens when three equal principals have to make decisions together, every day Why faith is the backstop of everything, and how it carries you through the dark without answers Humility doesn't hold you back. It elevates you. This episode is proof. 💡 Featured Resources: Learn more about Nick: nickgsansone.com Sansone Group: sansonegroup.com 📚 HeartPrint by Meg Tuohey Order now at yourheartprint.com Connect with Meg: @megtuoheyofficial | @wisdomstripespodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

    87. How Storytelling Heals: A Screenwriter's Journey Through Loss and Forgiveness | Simbi Hall

    Episode 87 | How Storytelling Heals: A Screenwriter's Journey Through Loss and Forgiveness | Simbi Hall What if the stories we tell on screen are actually the stories we need to heal within ourselves? In this raw, layered, and quietly extraordinary episode of Wisdom Stripes, Meg Tuohey sits down with Simbi Hall, screenwriter, director, producer, and storyteller whose work spans film, television, and live shows, including the Academy Awards red carpet. Simbi joined this conversation days after losing her father and her aunt in the same week, while her mother was in the ER. She recorded it anyway, because she had something to say. This conversation is about grief, storytelling, forgiveness, community, and the radical act of staying soft when life tries to make you hard. 🎧 Tune in and learn: What it means to catch yourself hardening and why staying soft is the braver choice Why storytelling is how we get to world peace and comedy is how we let it in Sometimes your biological family is just relatives and that distinction can set you free How directing live TV and directing grief require the same skill set Is what I'm about to do creating peace, or the opposite? The question that changes everything. Have the coffee. Get the hug. Ask for what you need. This one will stay with you. 💚 💡 Featured Resources: Follow Simbi: @simbihall on Instagram Watch her film, Long Story Short: https://watch.afi.com/movie/long-story-short-4 📚 HeartPrint by Meg Tuohey Order now at yourheartprint.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    84. She Spent 20 Years Hating Herself. Here's How She Finally Broke Free | Alexis Meruelo

    Episode 84 | She Spent 20 Years Hating Herself. Here's How She Finally Broke Free with Alexis Meruelo She spent 20 years trapped in a cycle of self-hatred, limiting beliefs, and an eating disorder she hid from the world. Now she helps women do in months what took her decades. In this warm and deeply honest episode of Wisdom Stripes, Meg Tuohey sits down with Alexis Meruelo, Chief Vision and Purpose Officer of Meruelo Group, women's empowerment advocate, keynote speaker, and author of the upcoming book Rising to Lead. Alexis grew up in a Cuban-Latin culture where women were taught to stay quiet, serve, and not take up space. There is even a saying for it: "te ves mas bonita cuando te callas." You look prettier when you're quiet. For 20 years, she believed it. Then everything fell apart. And she rebuilt herself from the floor up. Now she mentors dozens of young women, speaks at conferences around the world, and is on a mission to help women identify and rewrite the limiting beliefs that are quietly keeping them from the life and career they were built for. 🎧 Tune in and learn: How to identify where your limiting beliefs came from and why knowing the source is the first step to releasing them What growing up in Latin machismo culture taught her about silence, worthiness, and women's power Why your greatest purpose will always stem from your greatest pain, and how to find it when you're still in the thick of it What real mentorship looks like for women in business (and why a woman with a mentor is 5x more likely to get promoted) How to break generational money beliefs holding Latina women back and become the one who changes the lineage The only thing holding you back is the story you have been telling yourself. This episode is an invitation to rewrite it. 💚 💡 Featured Resources: Connect with Alexis: @alexismeruelo Website: alexismeruelo.com Women's Conference: The Business of Her, November, Sahara Las Vegas 📚 HeartPrint by Meg Tuohey Order now at yourheartprint.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Which side of that coin are you on? In this grounding and eye-opening episode of Wisdom Stripes, Meg Tuohey sits down with Sam Tejada, founder and president of LiquiVida, a multimillion-dollar wellness company revolutionizing preventative health and IV therapy across the United States. Sam's path began as a lifeguard teaching kids not to drown, evolved into 12 years as a firefighter-paramedic watching the same patients spiral into chronic illness, and transformed when he saw a cardiac surgeon quietly reversing disease by changing how people lived. This conversation is a masterclass in taking ownership of your health, before crisis forces you to. 🎧 Tune in and learn: The three pillars of modern health: prevention, early detection, and treatment intervention Four free things you can start today: say no, eat right, move your body, sleep better Why toxins in food, water, and your environment are the root cause of most modern disease What Sam witnessed watching low-income and ultra-wealthy patients in the same decade and why information is the real divide Why, if you want to change the system, do you have to get yourself into a position of power to change it Your health is not just for you. It's for everyone who depends on you. This episode is your reminder to make it a priority. 💡 Featured Resources: 🧬 LiquiVida: liquivida.com Website: www.SamTejada.com 📚 HeartPrint by Meg Tuohey Order now at yourheartprint.com Learn more about your ad choices.
