"I am the honest friend everyone needs, but nobody wants."

Brooke Scarcella… wife, hair stylist, bodybuilder, and much more.

Brooke and I discuss her pivoting from full time student athlete to full time business woman. What her journey has been like building her hair styling business from the ground up. A career that blossomed from passion and curiosity she had as a little girl.
Then what led her into body building and her journey to becoming a Professional Bodybuilder. The uniquely similar principles of building a business and body building have in common. How if you’re willing to take a risk and bet on yourself, our generation has more opportunities to offer that our parents generation did.

The Queso Queen 🧀😂. Katie and I talked about how during the pandemic she made the jump to San Diego. Desiring change and to get an experience outside her comfort zone. Her thoughts on school and the judgement school puts on individuals who don't take a traditional path. How vulnerability is a strength, her love for queso, and much more!

"We Learn By Navigating Our World Through Personal Experiences." Ashley Crawley is my cousin and one of my favorite humans. Our relationship is more of a Big Brother Little Sister type. We discussed what it was like growing up together, the family dynamic, and how we were raised differently than most. Coming from a family where nothing is given to you and everything is earned. Growing up in Buffalo, expanding her world view by leaving for college and ultimately coming back home. What led her into clinical counseling. What it has been like seeing her Father Battling ALS first hand and the life lessons she has pulled from that. Being independent, not taking shit from anyone, and much more!

"Uncomfortable situations force you to grow & work through things."



A childhood friendship, that has evolved and grown over the years. Zach Bruening is a friend of 15 years. Him and I discussed what is was like growing up together, playing lacrosse together, and similar experiences we both have shared. Life changes over those 15 years growing from being an average student, realigning his priorities to becoming a collegiate athlete. Discussing how crazy public school is from our POV, from witnessing fist fights to not fully understanding what was required to get into college. The unknown side of playing college lacrosse at an elite level. How people from Buffalo are built different, crazy loyal, and much more!

"You deserve to believe in yourself as much as you believe in others." Dani Riley is a SoulCycle instructor & Mental Health Advocate. Dani & I discussed her journey thus far in life. The highs and lows of mental health, and the role your childhood plays in forming the adult you are today. What is was like growing up essentially on a military base and being a quote "Rink Brat" as her Dad is the Head Coach of West Point's Hockey Team. Her personal mental health struggles she has faced and how she reinvented herself from this. How she is currently affecting positive change inspiring others as a SoulCycle instructor and much more!

"Why not? I live in New York City. Nothing is impossible." Mauricio Rodriguez is a Holistic Health Coach & Personal Trainer. Born & raised in the Dominican Republic, we discussed his journey moving to The United States. Upon his arrival, not knowing how to speak english, America was a culture shock to him. How this move has shaped his entire life. What his college experience was like and early career. The benefit of doing hard things & how if you don't go through it, it doesn't have the same impact on you. Action over reading about it. How meditating completely changed his life. The power of visualization, manifestation, and much more!
