In this episode, Zeke is joined by guest co-host Natasha Mills of the Odd Pairing podcast, as they welcome Sam & Nita for a spirited journey.  While weather and hazing from peers had some influence on Sam's path, Nita explains how being born to immigrant parents affected her educational path.  They both had larger than life causes that inevitably led each of their businesses to cross...

Zeke was happy to sit down with the fascinating, self-proclaimed "ambivert" Corinne Lebrun.  Corinne's excitement to learn in various fields is refreshing amongst so many that spend time trying to master one just so they can teach.  What is so intriguing though is the spectrum of the fields.  When the highly qualified is also highly ambitious, we have very little choice but to liste...

For this week's episode, Zeke had the pleasure of sitting down with the multi-faceted William Peetoom.  We couldn't fit all of William's work into just one episode, but we gave it our best effort.  He not only learned a lot, but put so much of it into action.  The respect that he has amongst his peers and his culture speaks for itself.  William's willingness to share is just wh...

Witness grit and determination as a young Viviana Oropeza proves her detractors wrong and becomes the educated, powerful, and wonderful human being that we got to interview in this episode.  Not only do we need more people like her in the business world, but in the world in general!  Viviana tells us a truly heartfelt story about a young lady that could've been cast aside, but is now off...

Welcome back to those of you that enjoyed where we left off at the end of Part 1.  And apologies to those of you that cursed us for stopping just before the reveal.  We assure you that it wasn't to tease you.  It was a natural conversation that was just too good for 1 hour.  So here is the reveal and so much more- networking, business decisions, how they met, work/ life balance...

Alongside guest co-host Natasha Mills, Zeke sits down with power couple Gian Saunders & Brett Pipkin. Gian and Brett have a story that you don’t want to miss. It’s fitting that this is a 2-parter because 1 hour wouldn’t be long enough to do their story justice. Unique backgrounds, personalities, and stories, but with common goals. This is more than a great love story. This is about second chan...

Sharmaine is a trailblazer that can speak directly to those hesitant to go into business on her own.  Her philosophies on taking the leap don't necessarily have roots in entrepreneurship, but few are more fit to motivate those interested than Sharmaine herself.  She speaks through experiences from early life, and takes this powerful thought process with her everywhere she goes.  Her...

Our incredible "Meraki Season" continues!  Wasim Hajjiri is powerful in more ways than one.  We were excited to have the chance to sit down with him and he did not disappoint!  Wasim came to speak, educate, and motivate.  This episode is full of jewels.  We highly recommend grabbing his #1 bestselling book Wasim The Dream: The Relentless Pursuit of Turning Dreams Into Real...

We know that you will enjoy this conversation Zeke had with the formidable Angela Quach.  She takes us on her journey from early life in Ohio, her experience in the family business, and the gutsy decisions that propelled her to where she is today.  Angela's success is no mistake.  In fact, she'll tell you that it was all in the plan.  And she's passing her methods onto others....

And we're back better than ever with laser focus!  Season 4 is going to be special, and these two guests are just the right people to kick it all off!  When Zeke met these two in October, it was only right to invite them to speak on our show.  What came out of that meeting became quite a bit more.  Simply put, season 4 is built from that meeting and this conversation.  SO...

If you don't know Rachel, you're in for a treat.  And we can tell you that meeting her in person was just as special.  Rachel shares how she was molded by her early life experiences and extensive travels.  She's seen what many of us haven't, and has used her knowledge to help others with entrepreneurial aspirations.  Thank you Rachel for sitting down with Zeke, and sharing so m...

Zeke and Steve sat down for an in-depth talk about Steve's journey to his current venture.  He talked about learning lessons from his sports background such as work ethic and being effective under pressure.  Having a supportive family even when he changed his college major.  Learning networking and if he was cut out for a job in sales. Of course they also talked about his decision t...

We were very happy to finally get Lauren into the studio with us!  She talked with us about being a shy child in public, while putting on extravagant productions in the house with her family!  We talk a lot on this show about future entrepreneurs learning from our guests about decisions they made when the road forked.  When it came time to decide on her education, she made a la...

If you're a regular listener to SBDD, welcome back!  This is not our usual ride!  Zeke & Pops (our favorite guest co-host) did their best to keep this one under control, but Randy's brake lines were apparently cut years ago lol!  But how often do you get to cringe and laugh at the same time?  If Zeke & Pops seem uncomfortable at times, it's not an act!  Take a deep...

Our host, Zeke Corley, had the opportunity to talk about life, loss, inspiration, and celebration with a phenomenon by the name of Kelsey Kurtis.  Our format served her well because it really gave us the opportunity to get to know her even before discussing her current success, and book release.  It was an exhilarating conversation with two people that really have the same focus, to insp...

A true entrepreneur needs more than a brilliant idea.  They must also have nerve.   Willingness to take risks.  You can't help but love JJ Wenrich after telling his story about making the decision to publish his book when faced with opposition.  A bold move that continues to pay off.  He's not just a teacher, he's a creator of legacies, literally.  We introduce y...

Justin has no complaints about life, and that shows in the way he approaches others.  Zeke found out quickly that Justin truly lives up to the reputation we'd heard about.  Justin talked about growing his network organically, along with his business partner.  His time around the world prepared him for helping others run businesses before finally starting his own successful venture....

Today we got to sit down with one of the premier storytellers in the world.  Elias can tell stories without words as well as he can with them.  This time around, he shared his story with Zeke, starting with his childhood in the Dominican Republic.  He speaks of the pivotal moments that shaped him, and the decisions he made to put him where he is today.  This is a powerful, emot...
