Neri Karra Sillaman is the embodiment of what it means to blend intellectual rigor with entrepreneurial grit. A refugee-turned-entrepreneur, she's the founder of Neri Kara, a luxury leather goods brand celebrating its 25th year—and she's also an academic with a PhD from Cambridge.In our conversation, Neri shared her incredible journey: from building a business with her family using discarded Italian leather, to walking away from it to pursue her true calling in academia. We talked about what it takes to run a successful family business, the importance of structure and clarity in leadership, and how the values of compassion and integrity shaped her leadership—largely inspired by her father.Neri discussed her experience as an immigrant and refugee, and how that shaped both her worldview and her work ethic. She made a powerful case for the unique contributions that immigrants bring to business and society—resilience, creativity, and an unmatched drive to build something better—not just for themselves, but for others.Contact Dino at: dino@al4ep.comWebsites:al4ep.comnerikarrasillaman.comAdditional Guest Links:nerikarra.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/neri-karra-sillamanInstagram: @prof.neriAuthentic Leadership For Everyday People / Dino CattaneoDino on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dinocattaneoPodcast Instagram – @al4edp Podcast Twitter – @al4edp Podcast Facebook: facebook.com/al4edpMusicSusan Cattaneo: susancattaneo.bandcamp.com

When I was approached by a PR firm to interview the Stephen and Jennifer McPherson, I gladly agreed not knowing a thing. Podcasts guests are not hard to find in the industry...but good podcasts guests...that is a different story. I am about the story. That is what I am pitching in the world of wine; innovation in marketing and packaging are important, but what is that innovation centered on? The story.  And here is a story, what started as a promise between spouses, became a reality and one that they, as many life changes perform, they wish they had started earlier. If you ever wondered what happens when a top entertainment exec swaps red carpets for rolling vineyards, Stephen and Jennifer McPherson's journey will uncork your imagination. On this episode, you'll hear firsthand how passion trumped the allure of Hollywood glitz, beckoning Stephen from ABC to the grape-stained heart of Napa Valley—all because of a vow made to Jennifer on the eve of their wedding. You'll be invited into the world of Promise Winery, a boutique operation run by this husband-and-wife team with just three employees and a steadfast commitment to staying small, authentic, and deeply personal. Get ready to learn what it takes to follow a dream in an industry that, while brimming with camaraderie and collaboration, is anything but easy. The McPhersons peel back the layers of their calling, sharing stories that reveal why wine is far more than a business—it's an expression of emotion, a vehicle for connection, and a labor of genuine love. You'll laugh at the tales of pigs, homemade prosciutto, and kitchen experiments, and come away touched by their philosophy that great wine is born not in boardrooms but through personal relationships, intention, and joy. As you listen, you'll pick up intimate details about wine's power to unite, the changing landscape of Napa, the eccentricities of wine marketing, and the importance of sticking to your values when trends and algorithms tempt you otherwise. This isn't just a tasting—it's a tour of the soul behind the bottle, with wisdom for anyone dreaming of a life built on what matters most.   Promise Winery Website: https://www.promisewine.com Wine of the Month Club Website: https://www.wineofthemonthclub.com Rombauer Vineyards Website: https://www.rombauer.com Goldman Sachs Website: https://www.goldmansachs.com Naked Wines Website: https://www.nakedwines.com Winc (formerly Club W) Website: https://www.winc.com Chateau Coutet Website: https://www.chateaucoutet.com Colgin Cellars Website: https://www.colgincellars.com   #WineTalks #PromiseWinery #NapaValley #WinePodcast #WineIndustry #WinePassion #WineStories #Winemaking #BoutiqueWinery #WineLovers #WineCommunity #WineExperience #WineTasting #FamilyBusiness #WineJourney #WineAndFood #WineEmotion #WineEducation #WineCulture #AuthenticWine #paulkalemkiarian #winetalkspodcast

We're excited to bring you a special cross-over episode from our friends at the 'Think Fast, Talk Smart' podcast. Host Matt Abrahams joined us and recorded this live session at the Stanford Seed Transformation Network Summit in Cape Town, exploring the authentic communication strategies that every entrepreneur needs to master.Real connection means understanding your audience, staying true to yourself, and creating space for others.How do you communicate who you are, what you stand for, and leave space for others to do the same? At the Stanford Seed Summit in Cape Town, South Africa, three Stanford Graduate School of Business professors explored why real connection is built through authentic communication.For Jesper Sørensen, authentic organizational communication means talking about a business in ways customers or investors can understand, like using analogies to relate a new business model to one that people already know. For incoming GSB Dean Sarah Soule, authentic communication is about truth, not trends. Her research on "corporate confession" shows that companies build trust when they admit their shortcomings — but only if those admissions connect authentically to their core business. And for Christian Wheeler, authentic communication means suspending judgment of ourselves and others. “We have a tendency to rush to categorization, to assume that we understand things before we really do,” he says. “Get used to postponing judgment.”In this special live episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, host Matt Abrahams and his panel of guests explore communication challenges for budding entrepreneurs.

“When you start to look at your family system through the lens of energy, you can finally see what's been hidden in plain sight.”In this powerful episode, I sit down with family systems specialist and spiritual mentor Kat Daou to unravel the unseen ancestral patterns that shape our behavior, beliefs, and emotional responses—often without us even realizing it. Kat's work is rooted in Family Constellation Therapy, and she brings such a grounded, insightful energy to this conversation.We dive into what it really means to do ancestral healing—not just intellectually, but at the soul level—and how these energetic patterns are often inherited, buried, and playing out in the background of our lives. Kat shares how she began to uncover the deeper roots of her own story and how her sensitivity became a superpower in both her personal and professional journey.If you've ever felt like you're carrying emotions or struggles that aren't fully yours, or noticed patterns repeating in your family no matter how much inner work you do, this conversation is going to land deeply. Healing ancestral trauma doesn't require blame—it requires awareness, curiosity, and a willingness to feel what's been unfelt for generations.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS(00:00) Intro(01:40) Breathwork Retreat in Mexico(02:10) In today's episode...Kat Daou: A Journey to Family Constellation Therapy(02:44) The Minimorphosis: An Inner Child Healing Process(05:27) Kat's Personal Journey and Family Trauma(10:07) Understanding Ancestral Healing(14:09) Leaving the Family Business to Build a Personal Business(19:12) Balancing Spirituality and Business(21:51) Spiritual Psychosis and Grounded Spirituality(27:26) Healing from Divorce and Chaotic Relationships to Find Liberation(31:19) Understanding Emotional Connections(34:04) Express Yourself: Generational Evolution(42:58) The Importance of Belonging(49:50) Working with Kat**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**  When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.The Minimorphosis Learn my Simple 5 Step Inner Child Healing Process to dissolve the one core wound that slows down your growth. Core Wound Solution Private Podcast Join 1,000+ women discovering the real root of their stuckness— and how to shift it for good.

But much like his beloved MCU character Tony Stark, there's an undeniably powerful force inside Robert that keeps him pushing forward.

Chris Hoffman never set out to become a farmer. He dreamed of a career in law enforcement—until a job on a pig farm at 19 changed the trajectory of his life. Today, he runs one of Pennsylvania's largest hog and poultry operations and serves as president of the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau. In this episode, Chris shares how he built his farm from the ground up, what it takes to run a 24/7 agricultural business, and why many Americans don't realize how much red tape stands between farmers and the food on our tables. From navigating increasingly complex regulations to fighting against estate taxes that threaten generational farms, Chris opens up about the real-world consequences of government overreach. He explains how misguided policies increase costs for farmers and consumers alike—and why defending freedom means standing up for those who feed the nation. This is a candid, behind-the-scenes look at modern farming, and a powerful story of resilience, leadership, and the fight to preserve opportunity for the next generation.
