THE TALK - a ceoPARENT Podcast

Janis Isaman, founder of My Body Couture, has been an inspiration to me ever since I met her. A lone parent of a wonderful young man, she has opened my eyes to the power of parenting that most people have not tapped into. Her perspective on female entrepreneurship was so transformational that I knew we had to have a conversation during INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S MONTH. She is definitely someone to learn from, both with her writing & speaking, as well as learning from her actions in her business and parenting successes.

As the creator of this podcast, along with other ventures, I would look at my wife with admiration and wonderment about how she was able to support me for over 18 years (and counting). Through thick and thin, she has been the foundation to our relationship, never wavering, and has provided me with the trust and faith that I will succeed as an entrepreneur. In this episode, I get to learn from my wife, Veronica Cortez. With the help of Kimmy Spector Wolf, we have a conversation about how we are able to build a relationship that has thrived for so long. I've always wondered how she was able to be so supportive of me throughout the years, never questioning me or asking me to "get a job". In this episode, I find my answer!! :)
