On The Path Naomi Seifter

This interview left me pretty darn speechless.  Justin Foster, today's guest on On the Path was such an amazing guest.  Justin believes "when you connect to your soul, everything changes," and we talk about how that is true in not only business, but in your personal life as well.  We talk about the importance of the creative mind, how to discover what you are here to do and how to authentically return to yourself in order to live your best life.  This is a DO NOT MISS episode!

"Justin is an entrepreneur, speaker, writer, poet and mentor. Along a journey that started on a cattle ranch in eastern Oregon to all 50 states and 6 countries, Justin has worked with leaders of every sector and industry to help them create vibrant, relevant, mission-based brands. Co-founder with Emily Soccorsy of the intrinsic branding firm Root + River, Justin is a relentless advocate for unleashing the power of being human."

Today's guests, Zane and Amal Wilemon are making an incredible social impact with their company Ubuntu Life in Kenya and beyond.  Ubuntu Life works intimately with their "Maker Mum's" in Maai Mahiu, Kenya to create a wide variety of products such as shoes, bracelets, totes and more.

Every product made helps provide health and education to children with disabilities and creates sustainable jobs for their families.  The core purpose at Ubuntu Life is to create opportunities that empower the local community.

Ubuntu Life owns and operates a manufacturing facility on 11 acres of land in Maai Mahiu and they are the largest employer in the area.  Ubuntu's presence has dramatically improved the quality of lives for the special needs children and their families and has been powerful stimulation for the local economy.  Win win win!

The first time Mark invited me to join him for a meeting, I was pretty darn nervous (understatement).  This guy is the real deal.  Mark was the CEO of Keller Williams Realty, the international real estate franchise, for over a decade.

Mark has become one of my biggest cheerleaders and is such an incredible mentor.  I've had the pleasure of getting to know Mark over the past few years, and I can honestly say, hand to heart, that Mark has dramatically transformed my life and my thinking.

Mark is not only a highly accomplished business man, but he also has a deep connection to personal development.  In today's episode of On the Path, we delve deep into Mark's life as well as his career.  Not only do we talk about Mark's favorite books, the Map of Consciousness, mediums, intuition, and business, but we also speak intimately about his life after the loss of his beloved wife and THE WILLIS FAMILY FOUNDATION that is founded in her honor.  

This is a not to miss episode!

THE WILLIS FAMILY FOUNDATION is a nonprofit organization founded by Mark Willis and his family in honor of his late wife, Cindy Willis, who passed away of cancer in May 2019.

WFF’s sole purpose is to work with medical communities in Texas, the United States, and abroad to bring Canine Early Cancer Detection programs to every internal medicine office, hospital, and medical facility; enabling them to detect cancer in humans in its earliest stages and save lives.

On Episode #4 of On the Path, I am sitting down with Alexa Silvaggio (@alexasilvaggio).  Alexa and I went to school together at Syracuse University and studied Musical Theatre together and she is quite an inspirational woman.  After overcoming an eating disorder, Alexa found Yoga as a means of healing and turned her "mess into her message," as she so eloquently put it on today's episode.  She is now a self-love advocate, writer, speaker, podcast host, yoga instructor, social media influencer and wellness entrepreneur based in Los Angeles and New York City.

She is embarking on a new business endeavor, a chocolate company she named SAVAGE.  In today's episode, we talk all about Alexa and her journey, her new business, her pup Hugo, Girl Scout Cookies and how she used her past as a catalyst for her career.

Y'all, I got to interview a very special guest..my MOM!  My Mom, Dr. Mom, AKA Patricia Sylwester is an MD and a super inspiring entrepreneur.  Dr. Sylwester is a graduate of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and has been practicing in Washington since 1986. She was the owner of a busy urgent care facility in which she treated patients for more than a decade. Over the course of her career, her interests shifted to improving overall health as opposed to treating disease, so she underwent additional training in the more holistic practice of Functional Medicine.

"We treat each patient as a whole person, considering all factors, including lifestyle and stress, before recommending any course of action."

Over the course of Dr. Sylwester's career, she became concerned that conventional medicine left some patients without real solutions for their problems. She expanded her medical training to include Functional Medicine and even Accupuncture, giving her the skills to bring meaningful change to the lives of her patients.  She believes dietary changes are the #1 tool you can utilize for radical change in improving chronic conditions, and her personal diet is the Keto Diet.

Oh, and since she is my Mom, you will also hear her 'Momming' me as well as sharing about my childhood...Fun stuff!!
