PASSION PURPOSE AND POSSIBILITIES

Candice Snyder

When I was a child I loved to pretend. I would imagine myself as a teacher, a pediatrician, a flight attendant. All careers where I was helping people. I didn’t know it then, but those were leadership roles as well. Twenty plus years ago, I was injured in a work-related accident, that has left me with a severe permanent disability. It forced me to search inside myself and find what other passions, purpose and possibilities I could pursue. It was when I started my direct sales business, and later became one of the company’s gratitude ambassadors, I realized that I am a giver, a humanitarian, a cheer-leader, and have a deep desire to inspire others. I had no idea it was possible to make a bigger impact, until, well- I started this podcast! I figured out how to focus my business not only on helping others earn an income, but to foster a community of gratitude, giving back and to inspire others as well. Join me and my expert guests here, where you will learn to live with passion, reclaim your purpose and explore the wonder of possibilities. I am your host, Candice Snyder and this is Passion, Purpose and Possibilities podcast.

    Uncorking Resilience: A Journey of Passion, Purpose and Possibilities with Kora Franco

    In this inspiring episode, Candice Snyder sits down with Kora Franco, founder of Aesthetic Wines, a brand rooted in bold living, resilience, and transformation. Kora shares her deeply personal journey from being orphaned at a young age to navigating identity, adversity, and ultimately building a business that empowers women to rise with confidence and intention.    In this episode, they discuss: How Kora turned personal adversity into a foundation for resilience and purpose The bold journey she took to discover her biological father Why identity and self-awareness are key to personal growth How she balanced motherhood, education, and career advancement The mindset shift that helped her believe in greater possibilities What it takes to succeed in male-dominated industries How Aesthetic Wines is creating community and empowerment for women   This episode is a powerful reminder that your past does not define your future and that bold action can lead you exactly where you are meant to be.    About Kora: Kora Franco is the Founder and CEO of Aesthetic Wines, a modern luxury wine brand rooted in resilience, ambition, and bold self-expression. Guided by a deeply personal journey shaped by both triumph and personal loss, Kora believes that luxury is a mindset — one defined by intention, confidence, and the ability to appreciate the journey as much as the destination. Before founding Aesthetic Wines, Kora built her career in banking and consulting, working with top financial institutions and one of the Big Four consulting firms in New York City. Her experience navigating high-performance, male-dominated environments sharpened her strategic mindset, discipline, and leadership style, while reinforcing her passion for empowering women to move boldly, claim their space, confidence, and define success on their own terms. Wine became a natural extension of that philosophy. Through moments of reflection and celebration shared over thoughtfully curated tastings with friends and family, Kora recognized wine as more than a beverage — it is a symbol of mindset, milestones, and the perseverance behind every achievement. This realization became the foundation of Aesthetic Wines — a brand created for those who live intentionally, rise resiliently, and understand that true luxury begins within. Under Kora’s leadership, Aesthetic Wines continues to inspire a community that values confidence, connection, and empowerment — honoring not just where they are, but everything it took to get there. https://aestheticwines.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/korafranco/https://www.linkedin.com/company/aesthetic-wines/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aestheticwines TikTok: Aesthetic_Wines ----- Connect with Candice Snyder!

    Think It. Be It.: The Missing Secret to Expanding Your Possibilities--And Your Life (with guest John Mitchell)

    In this episode, Candice sits down with John Mitchell, an entrepreneur, author, and creator of a powerful methodology designed to help people unlock higher levels of success. After decades of searching for answers, John discovered what he calls the “missing secret” behind lasting transformation and now teaches it to students and professionals looking to take control of their lives.    In this episode, they discuss: Why up to 95% of your daily actions are driven by unconscious patterns How your autopilot mindset may be limiting your success The difference between living an average life and an exceptional one Why most people only prefer success rather than truly pursuing it The power of a simple daily practice to rewire your thinking How consistency, not intensity, creates lasting transformation What it really takes to gain control of your actions and outcomes   This episode is a powerful reminder that when you learn to think differently, you begin to live differently, and that the life you want starts with the thoughts you choose every single day!   About John: John Mitchell has a fascinating journey. After spending more than 20 years as an entrepreneur, John reached age 50 realizing he wasn’t as successful as he believed he should be. Determined to change that, he set out to study the top book on success, Think and Grow Rich, and apply it —word for word—to his life. In the process, John uncovered what he believes is the full secret the book alludes to and developed a simple 12-minute-a-day technique grounded in science. When he implemented this daily practice, his income increased dramatically-by 25 times! Today, John teaches this methodology at the University of Texas’ McCombs School of Business and serves as a mental coach for UT’s head athletic coaches, helping high performers focus on what truly moves the needle.   Podcast: The Missing Secret Podcasthttps://open.spotify.com/show/5zoO0fn3xP2in19QqVBuxP?si=014742b5859b426b Book- THE MISSING SECRET: of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich: And a 12-minute-a-day techniquehttps://a.co/d/61r8r2D https://thinkitbeit.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/https://www.instagram.com/thinkit.beit ----- Connect with Candice Snyder!
