    Episode 23 - Speak with Holly Perry

    What if the chapter you're most afraid your story is "too benign" to tell… is the exact one someone out there is waiting to read? In this episode of Savage Angel, Angela sits down with Holly Perry — Co-Founder and COO of Great Vista Financial & Great Vista Education and Technology, former medical social worker turned insurance executive, healthcare consumer advocate, and contributing author of the bestselling anthology Women of Wealth: A Proverbs Legacy of Grace and Grit. Holly opens up about the moment she walked into a hospital room to deliver crushing news to a family about their 40-year-old daughter — and how that day cracked her wide open and pointed her straight into the insurance industry. She shares the chills-worthy detail of how her insurance license arrived in the mail the exact day her father (a former insurance agent who told her, "I want nothing more than for you to make this work") passed away in June 2012. Then we go full Savage: Holly and Angela trade stories about divine intervention, intuition, and those "downloads" you can't explain — including Angela's wild airplane-seat-kicking guardian angel moments. Holly shares the Proverbs principle that changed her life ("a chapter a day for two years and you'll be smarter than most of your bosses… five years and you'll be a multi-millionaire") and why she finally said yes to writing her chapter, Destined by Design, after years of thinking her story wasn't "wow" enough. What You'll Learn Why "I don't have a traumatic enough story" is the lie keeping most women from writingThe medical social work moment that pushed Holly out of healthcare and into insuranceHow "divine timing" actually shows up in your life (and how to recognize the nudge)The Proverbs reading practice that changes your decision-making — and reportedly your bank accountWhy writing your story heals you first, then ripples out to thousandsHow a single chapter in an anthology landed authors paid speaking gigs, clients, and entire new careersWhy being part of something bigger than yourself is the move — especially if you have a daughter watchingAngela's raw share about growing up in a religious cult, writing about it, and what healing through publishing really feels like 📖 Grab the bestselling anthology Women of Wealth: A Proverbs Legacy of Grace and Grit (featuring Holly Perry's chapter, Destined by Design) on Amazon. 🔗 Connect with Holly Perry / Great Vista Financial Website | LinkedIn (Holly Perry) | Facebook (Holly Perry) | Instagram (@hollyperry2021)

    Episode 22 - Speak with Joshua Hoecherl

    What if your leadership "problem" isn't actually a leadership problem… but a design problem and the reason your team can't function without you has nothing to do with their skill set and everything to do with the hallway you built? In this episode of Savage Angel, Angela sits down with Joshua Hoecherl President of Pinpoint Management Services, creator of Leaders Evolution, author of the Ripple Effect book series, and the man behind Empowerment Design, the philosophy quietly reshaping how small business owners actually scale. Josh doesn't pull punches. He explains why almost every leadership training on the planet is broken before slide one ever goes up ("leadership is a context problem, not a content problem"), why the toy in the hallway is the issue not the kid tripping over it, and shares the real story of a client whose entire team would freeze the moment he stepped out for a BNI meeting… and the four-hour experiment that flipped the whole thing. Then we go full Savage: Josh introduces EMI, his AI leadership assistant trained on the entire Leaders Evolution system the kind of 3 a.m. "I need to figure out payroll" partner that used to be reserved for executives with seven-figure consulting retainers. He unpacks why AI doesn't replace leadership, it exposes the absence of it… and why "sit in the mud" with your people is the most underrated leadership move of the decade. What You'll Learn Why traditional leadership training fails 60 days in and what to do insteadThe "move the toy" metaphor that rewires how you think about your team's performanceHow to spot the hidden ways your business has quietly become dependent on youThe difference between content and context and why this changes everythingWhy your employees can't be accountable until you give them real autonomyHow "decisions without accountability" are training a whole generation to swipe instead of leadWhy "the mess is the point" and how letting go without losing your identity actually worksHow EMI (Empowerment Intelligence) gives small business owners executive-level AI supportWhy "AI exposes the absence of leadership" and what that means for your role going forwardThe 4-book Ripple Effect series (with book 5, When Waves Collide, on the way)Josh's parting wisdom: slow down, relationships are the real ledger, and stop apologizing for being unfinished 🔗 Connect with Joshua Hoecherl / Pinpoint Management Services Website | LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram | TikTok

    Episode 21 - Speak with Yi Song

    What if the secret to staying young isn't another supplement, surgery, or symptom-chasing protocol… but going back to a 17-generation-deep tradition of healing — combined with cutting-edge stem cell science? In this episode of Savage Angel, Angela sits down with Dr. Yi Song — Beijing-born, Brown-trained pathologist turned holistic healer, founder of the Zenerchi Retreat in Medellín, Colombia, and bestselling author of Regeneration Effect: Sacred Wisdom for Staying Young. Dr. Song opens up about why she walked away from Western medicine after Brown, how her mother's stem cell recovery at 81 changed everything, and what's actually happening behind the scenes in the stem cell world — including the celebrity-endorsed clinic that allegedly gave Mark Hyman sepsis, and how to tell a legitimate provider from a black-market grifter. Then we go full Savage: Yi shares the chapter she wrote for the bestselling anthology Women of Wealth (her take on Proverbs 31 — even as a non-Christian), how a single 3-minute story on stage with coach Lauren Norris completely reinvented the way she shows up in business, and why pursuing your passion — not chasing the paycheck — is the actual blueprint for a meaningful life. What You'll Learn Why "true vitality lives beyond lab reports" — and what to actually pay attention to insteadHow to spot a high-quality stem cell clinic vs. a black-market one (and the red flags hiding in plain sight on their own videos)Why Mexico isn't your only option — and what makes Colombia's Zenerchi Retreat differentThe Proverbs 31 reframe: it's not about serving your husband — it's about being fiercely independent and preparedHow writing your story heals you first — and then attracts speaking gigs, clients, and opportunities on autopilotThe "recognize your constitution" principle that applies to your body AND your businessWhy combining advice from multiple experts (in the right proportions) beats following one guruThe one piece of wisdom Dr. Song would tell her 6-year-old self — and every woman afraid to start🎁 Free Gift from Dr. Song — Download the ebook Tend Your Body Like a Garden at gift.regenerationeffect.com 📖 Grab the bestselling anthology Women of Wealth (featuring Dr. Yi Song's chapter) on Amazon. 🔗 Connect with Dr. Yi Song / Zenerchi Health Website | LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram

    Episode 20 - Speak with Mike Hewett

    What if the fastest way to upgrade your life isn’t a raise… but a remodel + a real estate deal you didn’t even know was possible? In this episode of Savage Angel, Angela sits down with Mike Hewett—Utah-based general contractor, remodeling beast, and the man sprinting toward 100K YouTube subscribers as “The Remodel King.” Mike breaks down what actually makes a remodel worth it (and what order to tackle projects in), why lighting is the most underrated “instant transformation,” and the one kitchen upgrade Angela is officially obsessed with: the drawer microwave that frees up counter space and lets you ditch the over-the-range box. Then we go full Savage: Mike shares real numbers from a recent fix & flip—how they bought using zero of their own money, sold fast, and how people are using 0% interest credit cards to fund deals (yep… you read that right). What You’ll Learn Why kitchens + main-floor “domino remodels” are usually the smartest first moveThe underrated upgrade that makes homes look instantly newer (hello, can lights)Why drawer microwaves are the “design unlock” for statement hoods + premium kitchensHow Mike runs remodel projects with minimal surprise costs—and why that builds trustA real fix & flip breakdown: timelines, offers, and what made it move in 13 daysHow “0% funding” works (soft pull + 12–24 month promos) and how people use it to fund real estate dealsWhy paying “expensive” money (like hard money) can still be a no-brainer if the deal nets big 🔗 Connect with Mike Hewett / The Remodel King YouTube (The Remodel King) Facebook

    Episode 19 - Speak with Jason Avery

    What if the fastest way to scale your construction business isn’t more leads… but a referral engine + a team that runs without you? In this episode of Savage Angel, Angela sits down with Jason Avery—founder of Avery Construction, multi-business owner, and the guy Angela swears will be the next Tony Robbins. Jason breaks down how he went from swinging hammers with a tiny crew to building a company with 45 team members, plus multiple additional revenue streams—because he learned how to work ON the business, not IN it. You’ll hear the real numbers behind why referrals outperform home shows and internet leads, how he built a relationship-first “giver” network, and what leadership actually means when you’re serious about building an asset (not just buying yourself a job). What You’ll LearnWhy “working in the business” keeps most owners trapped—and how Jason started offloading the right tasks firstJason’s close-rate reality check: internet vs home shows vs referrals—and why referrals win on speed, trust, and marginsHow to build a referral network like a pro (BNI, chambers, community, and “Cupid connections” that pay for years)The leadership shift that changes everything: your job is talent + systems + roles (not doing every task yourself)The 80% rule: why “good enough” delegation is the only way to scaleHow Jason empowers teams with performance-based incentives and decision-making—so the business doesn’t bottleneck on the owner Connect with Jason Avery / Constructing Success + Avery Construction Website (Coaching/Consulting) Website (Avery Construction / Remodeling) LinkedIn (Constructing Success Inc) Facebook (Constructing Success Inc)

    Episode 18 - Speak with Mark Toscano

    What if your hiring strategy isn’t broken… but the market has changed so fast it’s making everyone feel crazy? In this episode of Savage Angel, Angela sits down with Mark Toscano, a recruiter with 20+ years in the trenches, to talk about what’s actually happening in today’s job market—why it feels brutal, why those “2,000 applicants” numbers are misleading, and what job seekers (and employers) need to understand right now. Mark breaks down the real math behind LinkedIn job posts (spoiler: impressions ≠ applicants), why only a small percentage of people applying are truly qualified, and the surprising reason recruiters often can’t even get qualified candidates to call back. We also dive into the massive mismatch between white-collar layoffs and the exploding demand for skilled trades, plus the rise of “over-employment” and why some people are stacking jobs to survive. What You’ll Learn Why Mark says this is the worst job market he’s seen—even compared to 2008What LinkedIn’s “applicant count” is really measuring (and why it scares people for no reason)Why only about 10% of applicants are typically qualified—and how that changes your oddsThe #1 mistake job seekers make after applying (and how to avoid getting overlooked)Why skilled trades are starving for talent while tech roles are getting floodedWhat forward-thinking companies are doing: academies, training pipelines, and partnershipsThe truth about Over-Employment (OE)—why it’s rising and what employers fear most Connect with Mark Toscano / NRB Services 💼 LinkedIn: Mark Toscano

    Episode 17 - Speak with Ben Davis

    What if the next big breakthrough in healthcare isn’t a new drug… but a smarter way to manufacture every drug? In this episode of Savage Angel, Angela sits down with Ben Davis, serial entrepreneur and CEO of Phizzle—a company bringing automation and data integrity to pharmaceutical manufacturing by digitizing and remotely operating critical “everyday workhorse” lab instruments. Ben shares the wild behind-the-scenes reality of how much pharma still relies on manual workflows (yes, including paper), why that creates risk and costly delays, and how Phizzle’s platform helps manufacturers improve compliance, reduce operational waste, and move faster—without sacrificing precision. You’ll also hear Ben’s founder journey: from building and selling a mobile gaming company, to launching Phizzle in 2005, to making a major pivot in 2019 that positioned the company for its current mission in pharma. What You’ll LearnWhy pharma manufacturing is still one of the most manual + heavily regulated industries on the planet—and what that means for cost and speedWhat “data integrity” really means in regulated environments (and why it’s non-negotiable)How automating instrument workflows can reduce errors, protect batches, and accelerate time-to-marketThe “big pivot” Ben made in 2019—and how Phizzle repositioned into pharma automationThe bigger vision: what automation unlocks as the industry moves toward more advanced therapies 🔗 Connect with Ben Davis / Phizzle 🌐 Website: Phizzle ▶️ YouTube: Phizzle

    Episode 16 - Speak with Chris Moore

    What if “getting older” didn’t mean shrinking your life… but expanding it with intention? In this episode of Savage Angel, Angela sits down with Chris Moore, founder of Senior Remodeling Experts in Salem, Virginia (Blue Ridge Mountains) a builder-turned-aging-in-place advocate who’s spent decades helping seniors and disabled veterans stay safe, independent, and confident at home. Chris shares the personal moment that changed everything: helping his own mom after a stroke and realizing most homes simply aren’t built for mobility changes. That experience didn’t just reshape his business… it reshaped his mission. Now, with the release of his new book Age Out Loud, Chris is challenging one of the last “socially acceptable” biases: ageism and the quiet belief that life only gets worse with time. From universal design basics (like safer bathrooms and step-free entries) to the deeper mindset shift that can literally change outcomes, this conversation will make you rethink aging, community, and what “independence” really means. What You’ll LearnWhy many seniors need home modifications—but don’t want them (and how mindset drives that resistance)The “3-part formula” for aging in place: person + place + support networkThe two areas that usually become obstacles first: entryways and bathroomsPractical universal design upgrades that protect mobility (without making a home feel “medical”)Why separating seniors from the rest of society weakens communities—and what integrated living can restoreHow purpose changes everything (and why “traditional retirement” can backfire without a plan)🔗 Connect with Chris Moore🌐 Senior Remodeling Experts (VA): seniorremodelingexperts.com 📺 YouTube: Senior Remodeling Experts 📘 Book Website: ageoutloudbook.com 💼 LinkedIn: Chris Moore
