Under construction- conjures up ideas of not being ready for prime time, eh? Not so fast! A business that is under construction has chosen to remain open to possibility.

My guest, John Panaccione is the co-founder of Folla Capital, an SEC-registered broker-dealer focused on helping small businesses and startups raise capital. Before launching Folla Capital in 2020, he co-founded and led a software company called the LogicBay Corporation from its launch in 2003 to its sale to Pluribus Technologies in 2020. During that time, he learned everything there is to know about the challenging world of small business finance the only way you can – the hard way - by doing. Along the way, in 2013, John also co-founded a non-profit VETtoCEO with another Army veteran-turned-business-owner. VETtoCEO’s mission is to help transitioning military members explore small business ownership as a viable career path when leaving military service.  Contact information for John can be found on either of his websites.

This second hiatus has turned out to be quite a lengthy one.  It wasn't just a matter of relocating and settling in. It is about accepting that with major changes comes a lot of introspection.

At the root of it all, it doesn't matter if you are a small business owner, CEO of an international conglomerate, or President of a major world power. We are all human. Taking the time to get back to the basics of who we are is a vital step. A step that should be repeated as necessary.

My guest, Dave Lubelczyk is a corporate escape artist dedicated to helping individuals break free from societal expectations and live authentically. His philosophy centers around empowering people to create a roadmap to realize their dreams, guiding them to define and follow their own unique paths. 
Society tells us to measure success in terms of amassing riches. But Dave believes that success should be measured by experiences and fulfillment. Therefore, one's success is measured by how well we are able to leverage our resources of time, money, energy, and freedom to give us the experiences and fulfillment we seek in our lives. 
During the discussion, listeners will learn what is needed to map out their unique success journey and create a plan that will give them the life they want when they want it.
