The Road To Reinvention: Switching Gears To Pursue Your Own Path | Ep.173 Katrina Wallace 1920 1080 OnTheStacks

We’ve all been there, right? Stuck in the proverbial grind, checking off the boxes of societal expectations.

It was in these moments that Katrina Wallace dared to challenge the status quo, trading her familial obligations to carve out a path of her own. In this episode, she reminds us of the strength that lies in unexpected support and the transformative power that genuine connections can bring.

Through our conversation, we explore the thought-provoking sphere of social media and its impact on our judgment of others. We dive into the very essence of it all – the art of networking, and how it forms the spine of relationship building.

Katrina’s journey of finding her identity through community building enlightens us on the value of authentic conversations and meaningful relationships. Her experience underscores the significance of stepping out of our self-imposed boundaries, daring to live authentically, and embracing the unfamiliar.

As we dig deeper into his professional coaching career, we talk about the recent expansion of the Big Ten Conference, High Level Coaching, Recruiting, and how NIL deals affect student athletes.

We also talk about the importance of staying fresh throughout the season, and how recovery plays into that. Steve shares his personal goals for the upcoming wrestling season, his never-quit attitude, and the importance of speaking your goals out loud.

Brought to you by Sweat Tent! Get $100 OFF with code OTS at SweatTent.com.

Join me OnTheStacks in the blu door studio as we journey through the life of musician Jimmy Stranger.

In this episode, Jimmy opens up about the painful chapter of his life in 2004, marked by the brutal murder of his high school sweetheart, Carrie Lynn Martin, and the subsequent loss of his father that sent him into a downward spiral of addiction and hopelessness.

Oftentimes, our society judges a book by its cover, and Jimmy is no stranger to this prejudice given his tattoos and appearance. He shares how people’s perception of him, based solely on his appearance, made him a living cliché, and how getting to know someone on a deeper level can shift these preconceived notions.

We also talk about the journey of self-expression as an artist, finding your purpose, and making money as a full-time musician.

Tresean Gore: Fighting Through Adversity, Chasing Greatness, & UFC 290 | Ep.165 1920 1080 OnTheStacks

Today’s guest OnTheStacks in the blu door studio is UFC Middleweight Fighter, Tresean Gore, aka “Mr. Vicious.”

Brought to you by our friends at Sweat Tent! Get $100 OFF your purchase with code OTS at SweatTent.com.

In this powerful conversation, Tresean opens up about the struggles of his upbringing in his hometown in rural South Carolina. When he was 19 years old, he moved to Georgia with $600 and a dream. Some days, he had to fish for food just to survive.

Tresean’s story is a testament to the power of stepping out of your comfort zone and embracing the discomfort that comes with chasing greatness, while his childhood struggles serve as a remarkable reminder of the strength, courage, and resilience it takes to overcome adversity.

Tresean is set to fight Bo Nickal on July 8th at UFC 290.

In March 2023, Bill interviewed Bo Nickal in episode 152 immediately following his win vs. Jamie Pickett.

Veteran PTSD

Breaking The Silence on Veteran PTSD & Mental Health | Ep.162 “Walk With Frank” Q&A

Breaking The Silence on Veteran PTSD & Mental Health | Ep.162 “Walk With Frank” Q&A 1920 1080 OnTheStacks

This week’s OnTheStacks episode is a previously live Q&A that Bill moderated at the F.M. Kirby Center following the showing of the Documentary film, “Walk With Frank.”

Brought to you by our friends at Sweat Tent! The most EPIC Backyard Accessory of 2023! Get $100 OFF your purchase with code OTS at SweatTent.com

The Q&A features film subject & Vietnam War Veteran, Frank Romeo, and filmmakers & co-owners of Mayers Films, Matt & Ryan Mayers.

At 70 years old, Vietnam War Veteran Frank Romeo walked across the entire state of New York to raise awareness for PTSD & mental health. This is his story.

Walk With Frank is a film about self discovery, mental health, and one man’s journey towards understanding and embracing his own PTSD.

In the Q&A we discuss the Impact the film has had on Frank’s life, the ongoing struggles veterans face, and ways we can keep the conversation going to end the stigma of mental health and to inspire others to open up about their own mental illness.

Warning: this episode contains some pretty heavy subject matter including PTSD and suicide, so listener & viewer discretion is advised.

The Smart, Hungry, Humble, & Resilient Approach To Building Your Life’s Work | Ep.157 Kurt Krasavage 1920 1080 OnTheStacks

This week’s OnTheStacks guest in the blu door studio is Kurt Krasavage, a former global sales leader turned real estate investor and humanitarian.

Kurt dealt with some extreme trauma at a young age. All within a few years he watched his mother suffer from a massive stroke, lost multiple family members and friends in tragic deaths, and was crushed when he got fired from his job in Corporate America.

But losing his job was a blessing in disguise as he saw it as an opportunity to follow his dreams. It allowed Kurt to restart his life and pursue his purpose of improving the community and helping people make a bigger impact on the world.

In this episode Kurt talks about overcoming adversity and opens up for the first time about his shortcomings and embarrassing failure that cost him his former career. Kurt also shares his experiences leading multiple mergers and acquisitions, building global teams, and setting and achieving goals.

Kayla Wolthoff - SCAD Heart Attack

Grief & Gratitude: Surviving a SCAD Heart Attack at 30 Years Old | Ep.156: Kayla Wolthoff

Grief & Gratitude: Surviving a SCAD Heart Attack at 30 Years Old | Ep.156: Kayla Wolthoff 1920 1080 OnTheStacks

In August of 2022 Kayla Wolthoff suffered a life-threatening SCAD-induced heart attack. SCAD, which stands for Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection is a rare condition that occurs when there’s a separation or tear in the wall of a coronary artery.

This week’s OnTheStacks guest in the blu door studio is Kayla Wolthoff, an advocate for SCAD research.

As a very fit and active yoga-instructor, a heart-attack and dying at 30 years old was the last thing on Kayla’s mind. In this episode Kayla shares the lessons she learned from her near-death experience, her journey to recovery, and her message of putting yourself first and advocating for your health.

As a SCAD survivor, Kayla had to make a lot of adjustments to her everyday life. While still in heart failure at the time of this episode release, Kayla could no longer do the things she used to do. Life after SCAD is now a bit different, but she adjusted to her new way of life.

Ep.139: I Couldn’t Afford Shoes as a Kid. Now I Own a Sneaker Store. 👟 #OnTheStacks in the blu door studio with Isaac Mensah, Entrepreneur & 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.

How to Conquer Anxiety/Depression, and Build back Confidence.

Ep.138: How to Conquer Anxiety/Depression, and Build back Confidence. #OnTheStacks in the blu door studio with Alyssa Kashuda, Yoga Instructor and Co-Owner of The Salt Barre.

Alyssa has always been a high achieving individual but didn’t feel confident most days. Since she was a young child, she struggled with anxiety, but didn’t even know what it was until she met a friend in college who experienced similar symptoms.

Then, after a bout of severe depression, and feeling “numb” from various medications, Alyssa decided to take a totally different approach to her mental health. This is when she discovered yoga and it changed her life. She quit her day job and embarked on her entrepreneurial journey through yoga, where she became an instructor and started her own business.

Listen and learn how Alyssa was able to conquer her anxiety/depression, and build back her confidence.

Mindset & Neuroscience to Achieve Individualized Success

Ep.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.

Watch on YouTube: Bobby Arvon & Lorenzo Medico – Ep.136 711 400 OnTheStacks

Ep.136: #OnTheStacks in the blu door studio with Bobby Arvon & Lorenzo Medico. Early in Bobby’s music career he was told by an agent that he didn’t have a recording voice.

As a singer/songwriter, he later went on to become a Billboard Hot 100 recording artist, leading to many TV appearances, notably Dick Clark’s American Bandstand, The Merv Griffin Show and more. You may also recognize Bobby’s voice from the lead on the theme song of one of the most popular American television sitcoms, “Happy Days.”

Wanting to get back to his Scranton Pennsylvania roots, Bobby met Lorenzo through a mutual friend. As a performer, entrepreneur, and owner of ARTIC Entertainment, Lorenzo found a way to connect the dots between Bobby and fellow Scranton native, Marko Marcinko, to put together a live, one night only show, titled “Bobby Arvon with Marko Marcinko & the SJF Big Band featuring Lorenzo Medico.”

The show will be held on December 4th at the Kirby Center for the Creative Arts at Wyoming Seminary in Kingston PA.

This is Lorenzo’s first live production with his company, ARTIC Entertainment. Short for Art in community, his company is focused on promoting, producing and cultivating the film, live music, and theater arts industry in Northeast Pennsylvania.

Ep.134: #OnTheStacks in the blu door studio with Paul Williams, Co-Owner of Perfect Storm Renovations, Kitchen & Bath.

 

Paul is a US Air Force Veteran with grit. After returning home from the military, he had a hard time finding work. He was so determined to make it that he used to ride his bike over 25 miles to work everyday.

 

After finding success as a kitchen remodel salesperson at a national big box store, Paul and his lifelong friend, Jerome Sulkoski, thought if they partnered together to start their own renovation company, that they would be the “Perfect Storm.”

 

When they first started their business in 2019, they would do renovations nearly for free just so they could build a portfolio of testimonials and before and after photos.

 

Their first year in business they did $1 million in sales. Now, their multi-million dollar business is Northeast Pennsylvania’s leading kitchen and bath remodeling company.

Episode 133: #OnTheStacks in the blu door studio with Professional Golfer, 🏌️‍♂️ Brandon Matthews. When he was 10 years old, he began to practice writing his signature because he believed one day he would become a professional athlete.

Three years ago, he was playing professionally, but was physically in pain almost everyday, in a bad place mentally, and golf wasn’t fun for the first time in his entire life. In his own words, his “horrible” 2019 was one of the greatest moments of his career. Hitting rock bottom tested his character and prepared him for what was about to happen next.

In June of this year, Brandon secured his first PGA TOUR card.

Watch on YouTube: Stephanie Decker – Ep.131 1280 720 OnTheStacks

Episode 131: #OnTheStacks in the blu door studio with Stephanie Decker, Associate Vice President of Social and Economic Impact at Lackawanna College.

Stephanie took over cooking duties for her family when she was just 10 years old after her mother became mentally ill and as her father was suffering from alcoholism.

She went on to study at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) to become a Chef, worked for 20+ years in the restaurant industry, 10 of which she owned her own restaurant. In 2010, her life and purpose intersected when she met a few executives from Lackawanna College that tasked her with starting the College’s School of Hospitality program.

She built it from scratch with borrowed kitchens, Bunsen burners, and pots and pans out of the trunk of her car. The program now boasts 4 degrees and an 85 seat restaurant and bar at their main campus in Scranton, PA.

Now, as the College’s AVP of Social and Economic Impact, she uses her scrappy, make-it-happen mindset to help people live better lives through education, entrepreneurship, and community connection.

We also discuss a book that she is co-authoring along with Lackawanna College President Dr. Jill Murray, and Provost Dr. Erica Barone Pricci. The book, which hasn’t been published yet, focuses on the strategies these 3 leaders implemented over the last 10+ years to create a culture of innovation at the College, one of which landed the College on Fast Company’s prestigious list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies.
