    From Two Suitcases to Multiple Businesses: Emilia McCormick’s Story of Grit + Vision

    What do you do when you’re terrified… but you want it anyway? In Episode 24 of Beyond the Bottom Line, we sit down with Emilia McCormick—entrepreneur, community leader, founder of USA Tiny Tumblers, visionary behind USA Ninja, CFO of United Sports Academy, and author of Mikey Goes to the Park (with her next book, Jamie’s Big Leap, coming soon). Emilia shares her family’s journey from Bulgaria to Pennsylvania with two suitcases and no English, how that “nothing to lose” season shaped her willingness to take risks, and why she believes the secret isn’t fearlessness—it’s having a desire that’s bigger than your fear. This is a powerful conversation about resilience, faith, family, entrepreneurship, and building businesses that make an impact far beyond the walls of a gym. In this episode, we explore: - The immigrant mindset: coming to America with nothing—and why that can create a different relationship with risk. - “Solutions, not excuses”: how Emilia’s mom (a former Olympian) shaped her leadership and resilience. - Why Emilia built USA Tiny Tumblers: giving parents a place to support early childhood development through movement, play, and confidence-building. - Big ideas, fast execution: starting programs and businesses by following the “vision + feeling” combo—and blocking out the noise. - Fear isn’t the stop sign: Emilia’s bungee-jump story and her belief that desire has to be bigger than fear. - How to raise confident kids (even when life is more comfortable now): gratitude, independence, and letting them find their own solutions. 🔗 Guest Info / Links Book: Mikey Goes to the Park (https://a.co/d/0bSirtrF on Amazon) USA Tiny Tumblers: https://usatinytumblers.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/emilia.e.mccormick/ 👍 Like and Subscribe for new episodes every week! .....Disclosures: This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be considered personalized investment, tax, or legal advice.

    Build It Afraid with Eloise Butovich

    What if the thing you’re afraid to do is the exact thing you’re meant to build? This week on Beyond the Bottom Line, we sit down with Eloise Butovich—chef, entrepreneur, and co-owner of Number 27 Café and Central Park Flowers in Clarks Green. From a traditional Italian upbringing in Brooklyn to high-end Manhattan real estate, to rebuilding a business after 9/11 and the 2008 financial crash, Eloise shares how resilience, process, and self-trust shaped her journey. Her philosophy is simple but powerful: if you’re afraid to try it, that’s probably your cue to do it. This conversation dives deep into entrepreneurship, marriage in business, reinvention, work ethic, and the human connection behind every great experience. In this episode, we explore: - How Eloise transitioned from Manhattan real estate to small-town entrepreneurship - What it really takes to build and scale a business (hint: it’s not 9–5) - The power of process, resilience, and self-trust - Why fear is often the sign you should move forward - The importance of human connection in an increasingly automated world 🎧 Listen now or watch on YouTube. 🔗 Guest Info: Number 27 Café in Clarks Green, PA — https://instagram.com/No.27Cafe Central Park Flowers in Clarks Green, PA — https://instagram.com/central_park_flowers Like and Subscribe for new episodes every week! ......Disclosures: This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be considered personalized investment, tax, or legal advice.

  7. Estate Planning for Parents + Legacy Builders with Attorney Scott Lynett

    Estate Planning for Parents + Legacy Builders with Attorney Scott Lynett

    Legacy builders, listen up. In this episode of Beyond the Bottom Line, Bob and Maria sit down with Scott Lynett, an estate planning attorney and legacy planner rooted in NEPA, to talk about the real-life (not theoretical) reasons planning matters—especially for parents, business owners, and families who want to protect what they’ve built. Scott shares the personal story that shaped his commitment to planning (including a painful lesson about what happens when families wait too long), and we unpack the emotional side of estate planning: family dynamics, identity, stewardship, and the “hard conversations” most families avoid. In this episode, we explore: - Why having kids causes estate planning to take on a whole new meaning — guardianship, “who picks them up from school,” and the basics most families avoid - Trusts aren’t just for the ultra-wealthy — how trusts function like a “Swiss Army knife” for protecting assets, avoiding probate, and planning for real-life scenarios - Legacy, stewardship, and family dynamics — how “hat confusion” (parent vs. boss vs. sibling) can derail even strong families and businesses 🎧 Listen now or watch on YouTube. 🔗 Guest Info: LynettLaw.com Like and Subscribe for new episodes every week! ......Disclosures: This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be considered personalized investment, tax, or legal advice.

  8. Building a Trust-Based Practice: Ethics, Boundaries & Word-of-Mouth Growth — with Tara Grossi

    JAN 28

    Building a Trust-Based Practice: Ethics, Boundaries & Word-of-Mouth Growth — with Tara Grossi

    This week on Beyond the Bottom Line, Bob and Maria sit down with Tara Grossi, a psychic medium, healer, and spiritual counselor who has quietly built a decades-long practice rooted in ethics, discretion, and trust. With nearly 30 years of experience, Tara shares what it actually looks like to operate a deeply personal, emotionally intense service business — one that cannot be scaled, automated, or outsourced — and why boundaries, integrity, and word-of-mouth referrals are the foundation of her success. This conversation goes beyond spiritual work and into the realities of running a values-based practice: managing emotional labor, protecting clients, navigating skepticism, setting ethical limits, and sustaining yourself while serving others. Rather than focusing on prediction or spectacle, Tara discusses the operational discipline behind her work — including client boundaries, confidentiality, emotional sustainability, and why not every client is the right client. Topics covered include: - How Tara built her business almost entirely through word-of-mouth - Why ethical boundaries matter more than growth or scale - Managing emotional and energetic burnout in people-centered work - How skepticism shows up — and why she doesn’t market to convince - When and why she turns clients away (and refunds them) - The responsibility that comes with guiding people through grief - Why her work complements — not replaces — therapy and medical care - What it means to run a service business where you are the product 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts 📺 Or watch the full conversation on YouTube ......DISCLOSURES This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be considered personalized investment, tax, or legal advice.
