    Inside a Men’s Club Changing Lives | Vinny Brusco & Agora

    Today on Double the Hustle, we sit down with life coach and founder of Agora Social Club, Vinny Brusco, to talk about men’s mental health, purpose, and building a powerful community from the ground up. From growing up in the Bronx and attending Catholic school to navigating the highs and lows of the radio industry and spending over a decade in car sales, Vinny shares how discipline, rejection, and resilience shaped his path. We dive into the creation of Agora Social Club in Westchester County—a men’s community focused on connection, growth, and breaking the stigma around mental health. Vinny opens up about faith, imposter syndrome, mentorship, and his vision for a flagship space that blends wellness, brotherhood, and business. If you’re looking to level up mentally, spiritually, and professionally—this episode is for you. Whether you’re here because you’re a twin yourself, being an  entrepreneur, or you’re just curious about what it’s like to go through life with a mirror image, we appreciate you.

    Can Twins be Twin Flames? Michael of Soul Fire Circle on Twin Flames, Intuition, and Manifestation

    Tori and Anna welcome Michael from Soul Fire Circle, whom they met at a Long Island coffee shop when he respectfully approached them for a reading on their late sister’s birthday.  Michael shares his background as a first-generation Italian American, a former heavy drinker who quit in 2018, and an education administrator who long felt something was missing. After stopping drinking, he noticed repeating numbers like 11:11, explored religion and spirituality, began meditating, and experienced visions, visitations, and signs he attributes to his grandmother, including a childhood healing and guidance toward mediumship through Lady Phyllis Best.  He discusses twin flames, life path/master numbers (11, 22, 33), intuition versus ego, raising frequency through meditation, grounding, sun exposure, diet and water, and practical manifestation through clear intention and aligned action. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:39 Twin Flames and Master 11 02:21 Michael Origin Story 04:01 Family Patterns and Drinking 05:28 Teaching Career and Missing Piece 07:51 Sobriety and 1111 Signs 11:10 Questioning Religion and Cosmos 13:58 Meditation Visions and Numbers 15:59 Grandmother Visitation and Healing 18:17 Mediumship Training Begins 25:25 Podcast Manifestation Story 35:43 First Public Reading and Twin Telepathy 38:34 Telepathy Practice Games 39:35 Spirit Guides and Soul Connections 40:59 How Messages Come Through 44:53 Childhood Sensitivity and Shadows 46:04 Astral Projection and Dream Journals 49:37 Raising Vibration and Healing Trauma 52:11 Building Soulfire Circle Community 57:14 Clearing Fog with Grounding and Sun 01:01:35 Water Memory and High Frequency Foods 01:05:44 Energy Hygiene and Manifesting Basics 01:14:01 Letting Go and Closing Thoughts Whether you’re here because you’re a twin yourself, being an  entrepreneur, or you’re just curious about what it’s like to go through life with a mirror image, we appreciate you.

    Chef Bob Morano on CIA, Michelin-Star Kitchens & Teaching People to Cook Again | Double the Hustle Podcast

    On the Double the Hustle Podcast, hosts Tori and Anna interview Hudson Valley chef and content creator Bob Morano, a Culinary Institute of America graduate (2005) who helped open a Michelin-star restaurant in San Francisco. Bob shares how he moved from architecture and construction into cooking through a family friend’s deli, the influence of his Irish-Italian family’s food traditions, and favorite nostalgic foods like soda bread and his mother’s onion sauce.  He explains what culinary school is like, why it’s not required but can open doors, and gives advice on breaking into restaurant work through persistence and strong work ethic. Bob describes how a “Chef in the Classroom” program inspired his social media mission to make home cooking approachable, notes a salsa verde video as early traction, discusses why he rarely sends food back, recommends several Hudson Valley restaurants, and outlines future goals including long-form YouTube, travel, and a cookbook under “Every Day Is Feast Day.” 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:35 Chef Bob Origins 00:58 Architecture to Deli 04:22 Culinary School Life 07:45 Do You Need School 09:59 Family Food Roots 13:16 Social Media Journey 20:18 Restaurant Career Start 23:38 San Francisco Break 26:39 Opening Michelin Star 30:45 Michelin Resume Value 32:45 Career Paths Beyond Michelin 33:46 Michelin Life Reality Check 34:42 Teaching Kids Love Food 35:38 Why Cooking Matters Now 37:49 Caveman Traits of Cooking 38:29 Mission Behind the Content 40:01 Building a Living Cookbook 41:32 Farmers Market Creativity 43:12 Never Sending Food Back 45:54 Grace for Small Restaurants 47:16 Hudson Valley Favorites 53:52 Industry Myth to Debunk 57:32 Future Plans and Growth 01:00:43 Dream Cooking Show Idea 01:03:03 Where to Follow Along 01:03:53 Final Thanks and Wrap Whether you’re here because you’re a twin yourself, being an  entrepreneur, or you’re just curious about what it’s like to go through life with a mirror image, we appreciate you.
