Well into the start of 2022! As everyone is setting up goals and looking to improve health and diet this time of year and still in a pandemic we couldn't have asked for a better guest. Meet Courtney Little, a fellow entrepreneur who founded Nutrition & Whole Health Solutions 15 years ago. NWHS specializes in teaching people how to heal their bodies. Despite what the doctors told her about her autoimmune condition being incurable, Courtney found a cure on her own by studying nutrition, herbs, homeopathy, and mindset. Did you know in the process of getting a medical degree students only study and learn about 45 mins of nutrition?  We are also blown away to find out 1 teaspoon of sugar suppresses the immune system for 4 to 6 hours after consumption. We discuss a variety of super interesting topics and although Courtney has a more natural and holistic approach she still has a strong respect for the medical field.  In such an era of super polarization and humanity so focused on whos right and whos wrong we can all agree it would be amazing to see cooler heads of the minds that be and that we depend on with concerns around the health and medical field working together to be more open-minded.

In this episode, we sit down with Jesse Logan, Jorvi Noesi, and Sara Brand of the DOC team. We reflect and celebrate, DOC start-up, to accomplishments, trials, and tribulations during 2020. We discuss some of our own success stories and testimonials through Open Houses.

What does overnight success look like? In this case, it looks like not caring and almost giving up. It looks like dying 4 years ago, being reborn a new person. It looks like a lot of rehabilitation, blood, tears, and a ton of sweat equity. Then on the anniversary 4 years later cashing over $125k in commission with over 12million in deals in the works in 2020. We all love success stories. We also usually have a bad habit of fast-forwarding and highlighting only the happy endings. However, in this episode, we offer the truth and a real perspective.  Let us introduce to you Tyler Sylvia a Real Estate Agent with one amazing heartfelt, inspirational, motivational and compelling feel-good story. Also, an Open House tactic that was one of many things along his journey that changed his life to see some of the many successes he has today. There is no such thing as an overnight success story without the oftentimes painful journey of persistence, perseverance, and hard work leading up. The word "Lucky" is often misinterpreted as "it was easy" and just fell into someone's "lap" undeservingly or unearned. It also often translates to being in the "right" place at the "right" time, completely discarding all the things that had to transpire, the misfortunes and miss-steps, and the steps one has to take leading up to, in order to be there. "Luck" can be created by improving your odds by getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, getting creative, working hard to find yourself, and putting yourself out there. Enjoy this episode.
