    I Couldn’t Afford Shoes as a Kid. Now I Own a Sneaker Store. | Ep.139: #OnTheStacks in the blu door studio with Isaac Mensah, Entrepreneur and Owner of Gemini Kicks.

     

    He didn’t have material possessions as a kid, and some days there was only enough food for him and his siblings so his mom would go without eating dinner. Isaac credits her for his drive, character, and success from seeing how hard she worked and the sacrifices she made during his childhood.

     

    While he was serving in the Navy overseas, he began buying Jordan sneakers and shipping them back home to Pennsylvania with the idea of eventually reselling them for a profit. Sneakers became an obsession. His love for sneakers and entrepreneurial spirit now allows him to make a living from something he once couldn’t afford.

     

    We also talk about Sneaker Culture and the impact it has on business, society, and one’s self esteem.

    Episode 137: #OnTheStacks in the blu door studio with Maria Traino, Entrepreneur and Personal Success Coach for Business Leaders.

     

    Ten years ago, Maria started and built a successful boutique marketing and design agency, but felt unfulfilled even though she “had it all.” She realized something had to change, but felt “stuck,” so she dug deeper into the psychology and mindset of business and life and found herself learning NeuroCoaching tools.

     

    Every day, the human brain processes 60,000-70,000 thoughts. According to the National Science Foundation, 80% of our thoughts are negative and 95% of our thoughts are repetitive. These negative and repetitive thoughts, much of which are buried in our subconscious, hinder our ability to change and grow.

     

    In this episode Maria shares her 3 step process of designing a life you’ll love and how to acquire a deeper understanding of how the brain is wired to leverage it for individualized success.

     

    As a certified NeuroCoach, Maria works with business leaders to help them use stress as motivation instead of devastation, overcome challenges more quickly and find solutions rapidly by teaching them how to leverage the science of achievement while mastering the art of fulfillment.
