    Strength You Don’t Know You Have with Danielle Carter and Andy Shaughnessy

    Send us a text What do you do when life hands you something completely unexpected, and there is no roadmap forward? In this powerful episode of the Shine On Success podcast, host Dionne Malush sits down with sisters Danielle Carter and Andy Shaughnessy, the women behind Express It Delivery. After losing their father, they stepped into his delivery business with no experience, no plan, and no safety net. What started with thirteen drivers has grown into a thriving company serving the entire Northeast with over two hundred drivers, built on grit, faith, and a people-first philosophy. This conversation goes far beyond business. Danielle and Andy share the raw realities of grief, resilience, leadership without ego, and what it truly means to show up anyway when the odds are stacked against you. Their story is a reminder that success does not always begin with skill or certainty. Sometimes it begins with heart, courage, and the decision to keep going.

    The Connector Code to Endless Referrals with Phil “The Connector” Herrington

    The One Percent Rule for Profit, Scale, and Long-Term Growth with Sabir Semerkant

    Send us a text What if the real key to explosive growth was not a viral hack or a new ad strategy, but a relentless commitment to improving just one percent every day? In this powerful conversation, Dionne Malush sits down with e-commerce growth strategist Sabir Semerkant, the creator of the Rapid Two X system that has helped over 150 brands scale with precision, including Canon, Tommy Hilfiger, and Sour Patch Kids. With over one billion dollars in generated revenue and endorsements from leaders like Gary Vee and Neil Patel, Savir shares the raw truth about what actually drives sustainable growth in today’s economy. Together, they break down why most businesses fail at the foundation level, how ego quietly destroys profitability, and why data must always lead emotion in decision-making. Savir reveals his sprint-based scaling framework, the danger of founders being emotionally attached to marketing, the massive losses caused by poor systems, and how simple daily improvements can compound into life-changing results. This episode is a wake-up call for entrepreneurs who are tired of guessing and ready to build businesses that last.
