Tea with Abbie Blended Sense

Inspired by their heritage, husband and wife team Cecilia and Fede have baked their love of family right into their empanadas at Cocina 54.  Their company has grown rapidly in the past 2 years, expanding in grocery stores all over the country. It's in their commitment to quality ingredients and building something from scratch that has made them successful. 

We talk about how their world blends more than just great flavors, but also family and sharing the joy of a good meal. Tune in for the tea on building a family and a great company!

Sean and Katie are brother and sister, but also co-founders of  Habitbetter, and dedicated to helping others find consistent, long term ways to reach their goals. Opposites in routine and habits, these two find synergy in their passion to live their best lives. We talk about what it was like to figure out how to run a business with their big brother/little sister dynamic, training your brain to find joy, finding the message in misfortune, and supporting one another by being vulnerable.

Robert and Will are cousins and the co-founders of 'Bob's Containers', a  full-service shipping container company. These two agreed to go into business together before actually having a business idea! But when an opportunity stumbled into their laps, they grabbed it, and never looked back! Pushed by adversity, a stubborn desire to be successful, and a  love of working with one another, Bob's Containers is setting the new standard of customer service and integrity in this booming industry. 

We discuss family history and how it has shaped who they are today as founders, the ways they check in on each other,  the ebb and flow of change, and how they resist paralysis to always take the risk!

Sisters-in-law in life and business partners at Posh Palma Styles, these vibrant "Jefa's" are redefining what it means to be a strong, powerful woman. Launching their business right in the middle of the pandemic,  Gelsandra and Valerie are fearless when it comes to creating what they want in this life. Their Bobo Caribean fashion boutique out of Miami captures the spirit of their Dominican background and passion for building a community of imperfectly perfect women. 

We discuss how they dream big together, bring their unique background and expertise to their company to divide and conquer, understand each other's boundaries, and support one another's pursuits of self-expression.

The husband and wife team of Blue Anchor Properties are not the kinds of people to sit and let life pass by. Dalwin and Milena are a  dynamic duo who runs a real estate investment company together living by the statement "it's a huge risk if we don't take the leap".  Together they have grown their business from a single investment property into a  booming business purchasing properties, rehabbing them, flipping, and turning them into rentals. 

They truly understand the value of turning  challenges into growth, allowing each person to bring out the strengths  in the other, and the power of a morning routine (especially now they  have an almost 1-year-old!) Tune in to learn about investing in real estate, running a business with your spouse,  and tips to get started in taking charge of your future!

This kid's first gaming platform is a safer digital destination for kids to watch gaming videos. Gerald wanted his son Jaden to enjoy his love of gaming, but the dangers of Youtube kept him from being able to safely allow him to pursue his passion.
