Success isn't built by playing it safe or trying to do everything at once. This episode breaks down why obsession, discipline, and committing fully to one craft are often the real difference between stalled ideas and lasting success. We dive deeper into this in the Habits & Hustle with Anastasia Soare. We also talk about why balance is overrated, how discipline beats talent, and what it actually takes to build a category from nothing. Anastasia Soare is the founder and CEO of Anastasia Beverly Hills. She is a self-made entrepreneur known globally as the Queen of Eyebrows and built her career as an esthetician working with clients including Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama. She founded Anastasia Beverly Hills in 1997 and has been featured in outlets including The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, Allure, Harper's Bazaar, People, and Entertainment Tonight.

Please follow us on: Instagram or Facebook ! In this episode, Kimberly and Tommaso talk about their first two weeks in their new home in Italy. They share the joys and challenges of moving to a new country with a new language and new rules. Key Points: Setting Up a New Life in Italy: Kimberly and Tommaso record their first podcast from their new, unfurnished apartment in Italy. They describe the initial setup, including one bed, one table, two chairs, a kitchen, and many empty boxes. They express admiration for those who immigrate to new countries, especially with language barriers. Navigating Italian Bureaucracy: The process began with picking up an immigration application from the post office within eight business days of arrival. They found the process was what they had expected with Kimberly's Italian language skills coming to the rescue. They recount a humorous experience at the post office involving a friendly, funny clerk. A local festival closing the post office caused a moment of panic about missing their eight-day deadline. A visit to La Questura (police station) revealed the need for a “declaration of entry” due to their indirect arrival through France. They discovered that all printers in Italy come with built-in scanners, highlighting the local need for frequent document scanning. Deliveries and Shopping Experiences: Delivery tracking in Italy is often inaccurate. Packages arrive unexpectedly, sometimes before they are even marked as shipped online. Kimberly and Tommaso joke that the only way to reliably receive a package is to stay home all day. Or all week! Shopping in Italian malls is a different experience than in the United States. Malls are vibrant, aesthetically pleasing, and full of people. They describe a first mall experience with an exquisite wine bar and restaurant, feeling like they were in Venice or Rome. The stores themselves offer a personalized, art-gallery-like experience with attentive staff. Despite visiting on weekdays, the malls were busy, indicating a thriving shopping culture, unlike the decline of malls in America. Recycling Rules: Italy has a thorough and strict recycling system, with daily pickups for specific items. Food scraps go into communal compost, used for local agriculture. The community effort for recycling is apparent everywhere. They appreciate that the Italian system explains where recycled materials go, fostering a sense of purpose. Ciao!

Policies change overnight (for good reasons they say), and suddenly folks who have followed all the rules find themselves stranded.That is Alyanna's story. She moved to Canada, paid 10X the fees of domestic students to study, excelled academically, gained Canadian work experience, and integrated into the country.She did everything the immigration system told her to do. But by the time she graduated, Canada had moved the goalposts. The same pathway that led to permanent residency now led to... uncertainty.In this conversation, Alyanna and I explore what it felt like to watch the rules change. We also explore:* Missing home while building a new life* Immigrating as a student vs. a PR* Why Canada's rhetoric shifted from “we want you to stay” to “study doesn't guarantee residency”* The unfairness of retroactive rule changes* How Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie inspired her journalism careerOfficial Links✅ Connect with Alyanna Denise Chua on LinkedIn✅ Read her piece on The Walrus; Pay Tuition, Follow the Rules, Then Pack Your BagsOne AskIf you found this story helpful, please forward or share it to one immigrant out there.

"I think I grew up more sheltered. I didn't have the typical New York upbringing." - Annie Vo This episode was special in so many ways — not just because it marked six years of A Vietnam Podcast, but because of Annie's story.

Her warmth and authenticity reminded me why I started this podcast. These are the conversations that matter. They're real, honest, and grounded in experience.

Clint moved to Canada from Trinidad when he was in Grade 9, over 40 years ago. On landing in Toronto, everything looked normal. But on the plane ride to Edmonton, “I found myself surrounded by people I saw on TV,” he says. Immigrating to Alberta at that time meant Clint literally knew every Black person in his community. “I remember walking around going to different events, just going to the gym, hanging out. I kind of knew every Black person," he says. Fast forward to today, Clint struggles to keep up with the new faces he comes across daily. While he's proud of the progress the Black community has made, Clint remains committed to building a welcoming support system for newcomers. His goal? “All I want people to remember is that if they need anything, they can call Clint.”In this conversation, Clint and I explore the concept of systemic change as a marathon, not a sprint. We also chat about:* Transitioning to high school in Canada * Raising kids * Community building and holding space for the next generation* Why we can't recreate the home we often miss* Cultural adaptation without losing your identityOfficial Links✅ Connect with Clint Boodram on LinkedInOne AskIf you found this story helpful, please forward or share it to one immigrant out there.

Christian Leemer joins the show to discuss his time living in South Africa.
It seems that, in this day and age, Immigrating to another country is not all that uncommon. But with all the well known causes and issues, it's startling to actually hear them from someone who has experienced the inefficiency of our system. Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts. My guest today is Irma Goosen. She was born and raised in South Africa, came to the United States, and eventually settled in Canada; but the reasons and timeline of these changes will likely shock you as much as they did me, which is to say: A fraction of how bad they were for Irma. She also coaches for TEDx and gives speeches on the benefits of legal immigration for both people and companies. And if you live in a privileged country, this interview will definitely leave you feeling grateful for every small and large convenience we have. ( Www.IrmaGoosen.Com ) ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/irma-goosen/?originalSubdomain=ca ) Let's see if it's worth moving. So what would you have to see or experience to make you want to leave your country? In other news... March is pretty much over, and here the rankings are regulating: 1. England of the United Kingdom. 2. Hong Kong, who dropped a spot after i asked why I was popular. Was I not suppose to ask? 3. The United States, with California, Illinois, and Washington now at the top. 4. Australia, with Victoria now leading Queensland and Western Australia. 5. Canada, with Ontario still keeping them just above Israel. That's it for this week! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here next week for another new episode!

Hello, I'd really like to grow this email list. If you enjoy this newsletter, it would mean the world to Jola and I if you encouraged one friend/fellow immigrant/colleague to subscribe…Very likely, the the only thing you will get in return is warm fuzzy feelings, and if I can attribute it to you, I'd personally send you a thank you email.Join us as we explore the bitter-sweet world of the immigrant.In this episode, I'm speaking with Feyi Fawehinmi, accountant, writer and author of Formation: The Making of Nigeria from Jihad to Amalgamation.When Feyi moved to London in 2004 to study, there were relatively few Nigerians in the United Kingdom compared to today. Most of the folks he met came either as students or through work permits that tied them to specific employers.21 years later, all that has changed. Different immigration programs such as the Highly Skilled Migrant Program (HSMP) that ended in 2008 meant more Nigerians, including folks who felt they had "hit a ceiling" in Nigeria's job market, moved to the United Kingdom without the limitations of a work or study permit.In this conversation, Feyi and I explore what his immigration journey has been like. We also chat about: * Why time is key to integration and building a stable life* Dealing with the loss of status and starting over* Why integration should happen on your own terms* Why newcomers need to be ruthless in the company they keep, and a lot of good stuff.

In this episode, Krish Palaniappan shares his personal insights on the complexities of US immigration. He emphasizes that immigration should be viewed as a privilege rather than a right, discussing the challenges and realities faced by immigrants. He encourages listeners to appreciate the opportunities available in the US while acknowledging the need for improvements in the immigration system. The conversation highlights the importance of respect, gratitude, and understanding in the immigration process, urging a balanced perspective on the experiences of immigrants. Takeaways Immigration is a privilege granted by a country, not a right. The immigration process can be lengthy and complex, often taking years. Many immigrants contribute positively to society, even if not at the highest levels. Comparing immigration systems globally reveals that many countries have stricter processes. Respect and gratitude for the immigration system are essential for a harmonious society. Life is not fair, and sometimes qualified individuals may not succeed in immigrating. The odds of becoming a highly successful immigrant are low for most. Good people should have a legal path to immigration, and improvements are needed. Understanding the immigration process can help alleviate frustrations. The journey of immigration can be painful, but patience is crucial. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Immigration Perspectives 02:53 The Privilege of Immigration 06:11 The Reality of Immigration Processes 09:05 Comparative Immigration Experiences 11:54 The Importance of Respect and Gratitude 14:48 Conclusion and Call for Understanding

With this episode the Three Whisky Happy Hour emigrates into its very own identity on Ricochet and Steve's new group Substack, "Political Questions," but not to worry—the old Power Line Show will live on in its old format as an interview show. The 3WHH, meanwhile, is rebooting with some new formats. We'll be doing some show with a single-subject format; on some we'll do a round robin of hot topics and reflections on currtent news items, and we'll even have some guests from time to time, as well as emergency shows when somethingbig happens—or we get a new single malt in whose virtues we just have to share.And having completed our emigration to a new logo and format, it seemed only logical that we'd take up as our primary focus this week the issue of immigration, with an attempt at an orderly procession through the key aspects of the matter: How much is too much? Should we have an immigration pause? What's up with the H1-B visa controversy anyway? How should skills-based immigration be done, and should we move to some kind of point- or auction system to regulate immigration.And finally the big one: what about birthright citizenship? We throw down pretty hard on this issue, and our three bartenders nearly get into a brawl about several of these questions. So don't think alone when you can drink it all in with us!

Interview with Pastor Eric Leveille from Laval, Quebec - Part 3
There's this prevailing thought that immigration has to be from your home country to the other side of the world, but our expert today shows that sometimes: Those are the easier types of moving. Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts. My guest today is Ilona Seddik. Ilona made several big moves in her life, going from the arctic circle, to central Russia, and then to the United States. Its a fascinating story with all kinds of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, but Ilona shares all of the good and the bad with us. Shockingly, Ilona has only been speaking English for two years, and yet it's far better than most people I have met with ten years of English as a second language. I also really enjoy her accent, and hopefully you will too. ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/ilona-seddik-069011203/ ) ( https://www.youtube.com/@ilonaseddik/videos ) Let's make the right relocation for us! I know there was a lot to take in on this one, but so much of it is so critical to being who you want to be, and living the way you dreamed of. In other news, August is over and September has begun. Here's the updated rankings for the new month: 1. Canada, with Ontario pushing the country to an early lead. 2. The United States, holding second place thanks to Ohio, Texas, and Massachusetts. 3. Ireland! Making a triumphant return! 4. Australia, with Queensland and Victoria competing for the top spot. 5. England of the United Kingdom, holding a one listener lead over Ghana. That's it for this week! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here next week for another new episode! Until the next episode, pretty please do all the things to help the show: rate, review, like, and subscribe.

Public Health Careers podcast episode with Shanaz Chery, MS, CHES
April Moh immigrated from Singapore to the US for love in her 20s and restarted her life and career from scratch. The first third of her career in the US was spent in PR agencies, learning the importance of impactful storytelling. She started to develop a curiosity about how the different parts of a company work together to fuel growth and decided to take her career in-house at Microsoft, then SAP, where she eventually became chief of staff. She went on to become CMO at SUSE before moving into the CMO role at Kyriba in October 2023, the same year she was named as one of Campaign Magazine's “Most Inspiring Women."
