    Turning Rejection Into a Dental Practice Empire with Valentina Leonett

    For Dr. Valentina Leonett, it became the beginning of an incredible journey. In this episode of the Phoenix Prosperity Podcast, Tim Fergestad sits down with Dr. Valentina Leonett, Founder and CEO of New Tempo Family Dental, entrepreneur, speaker, and author of the Reinvention Method. Valentina shares how moving from Venezuela to the United States at age 17 with one dream—to become a dentist—led to one of the biggest setbacks of her life when every dental school rejected her application. Instead of giving up, she reinvented herself, improved every area she could control, and eventually earned acceptance into dental school, graduated at the top of her class, and built two thriving seven-figure dental practices before turning 30. Tim and Valentina discuss resilience, entrepreneurship, leadership, patient care, and why rejection often becomes the greatest catalyst for growth. Whether you're launching a business, pursuing a dream, or navigating life's inevitable setbacks, this conversation will inspire you to keep moving forward. ------------------------------------- Interested in being part of this?

    The 40-Day Shift: Building Capacity for Work, Family, and Self-Trust with Brent Perkins

    In this episode of the Phoenix Prosperity Podcast, Tim Fergestad sits down with entrepreneur, advisor, and author Brent Perkins to discuss his new framework, The 40-Day Shift, a practical approach designed to help high performers create more capacity in their lives without sacrificing success. After spending decades building companies and thousands of hours coaching entrepreneurs and executives, Brent noticed a common pattern: successful people weren't struggling because they lacked information. They were struggling because they were exhausted, disconnected, and carrying too much. Brent explains why traditional ideas about work-life balance often fall short and why real transformation begins with self-awareness, trust, and intentionally slowing down. He shares lessons learned from working with hundreds of business leaders and fathers, and why small, consistent daily actions can create meaningful change.   ------------------------------------- Interested in being part of this?
