In this episode, I sit down with my longtime online friend turned real-life connection, Tony Sousa. Tony recently made a bold career move—leaving behind nearly two decades in corporate operations to step into full-time entrepreneurship. We dive into what it really feels like to take a leap like that, how to process fear, and why the stories we tell ourselves—and others—shape the results we get in life and business.About TonyTony Sousa is an influential figure in the multifamily housing industry, currently serving as Founder of Sousa Consulting, a branding and operational consulting firm. His career trajectory is marked by a diverse array of roles, including experiences as a TV journalist, teacher, and actor, which have collectively enriched his approach to marketing and operations within the real estate sector. Tony is also recognized for his thought leadership, frequently sharing insights on operations, technology, and culture within the industry. His background in journalism and acting enhances his storytelling abilities, allowing him to effectively engage audiences across various platforms.Taking the LeapTony shares what it was like to walk away from a stable, successful corporate career and bet fully on himself. From years in multifamily operations and brand work to launching his own consultancy, he talks about what finally pushed him to make the jump—and why it had less to do with business strategy and more to do with emotional readiness.Reframing the NarrativeAt one point, Tony called his transition a “freefall.” I challenged that. What if it's not a freefall at all, but a clear, intentional step forward—one built on decades of preparation? We talked about how important it is to change the way we talk to ourselves during big transitions. Because the truth is, success doesn't come from avoiding failure—it comes from becoming exactly who we were made to be.Relevance, Not Just RevenueTony's passion is helping brands tell a better story. But not just any story—the story of relevance. We talked about how companies often think they know their story, but what they're actually doing is telling outdated origin tales instead of leaning into the narrative that drives their future. He's not just about innovation—he's about helping people connect with decision-makers through real, emotional connection.The Deeper WhyIn one of the most moving parts of the episode, Tony opened up about his son Rocco, who has Down syndrome. He shared his vision for one day being on stage with his son, sharing a message about identity, purpose, and the refusal to let anyone tell you who you can or cannot be. I was deeply moved—and reminded again of the power we have when we hold both ambition and conviction in the same hand.Resources MentionedConnect with Tony Sousa on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonysousa/Tony's website: https://tony-sousa.com/ rockygarza.com/confidence – Join my next workshop: Leading Without Losing YourselfKey Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:17 Tony's Career Transition01:09 Embracing Entrepreneurship02:27 Challenges and Mindset Shifts04:01 Emotional Readiness and Support04:53 Learning and Growth in a New Venture07:55 Innovative Strategies in Traditional Industries13:15 The Power of Storytelling21:40 Personal Reflections and Encouragement25:46 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsTo join Rocky for his next free virtual event, go to https://rockygarza.com/beyondsuccessSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/trgs/donations

Tanu Grewal '05 knows that you can learn a lot about a person's buying habits based on what brands are in their cabinets at home. Tanu is a global marketing leader. In her roles at Coca-Cola, Whirlpool, and Kohler, she helped revolutionize iconic products used by millions of consumers in their homes everyday. She has continued this work as the Vice President of Marketing at AlEn, a Proctor & Gamble-like company with products in 95% of households in Mexico. In his debut episode as the new co-host of Owl Have You Know, Brian Jackson '21 sits down with Tanu to chat about her early marketing days at Coca-Cola in India, the strategies she gained from Whirlpool for understanding consumer behavior, and how she's innovating at AlEn for different markets in the U.S. and Mexico. Episode Guide:01:02 Early Career and First Internship at Coca-Cola02:23 Cultural Insights and Marketing Challenges in India05:00 Navigating Global Markets: Europe, Middle East, and Africa07:14 Understanding the American Consumer09:36 Revitalizing Iconic Brands: Whirlpool and Maytag13:14 Innovative Strategies in a Crowded Market16:26 Adapting Products for the U.S. Market18:58 Agile Innovation at AlEn USA20:46 The Journey of ‘Art of Green'23:21 Navigating COVID Challenges26:03 The Rice MBA Experience29:30 Commitment to Community and Diversity37:40 Future Aspirations at AlEnOwl Have You Know is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:How lived experiences shape true diversity32:18: I think true diversity is from your lived experiences. You can be, you know, whatever demographic, but even within that, your lived experiences can really make you a very diverse person because you have a certain way of looking at the world that your neighbor doesn't, right?And so, that to me is diversity, because you can then look at the same problem and think about solving it very differently. And I have seen it in action, Brian, in every continent. And it always, always amazes me how five people looking at the same slide can interpret it so differently because how they've grown up, what they've, you know, what experiences have shaped their lives.Tanu's approach to navigating multi-cultural markets06:30: Back in India, my dad was in the army. We moved around a lot, so I had the opportunity to really immerse myself in different cultures and have the ability to talk to different people, so I think that's what it is. And even when I went for my expat assignment, I was managing 33 countries in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. And the first thing I said was, I need to understand people. So we went out and did focus groups in different cities to really understand what the brand means to someone in France, or somebody in Germany, or in Israel. And really, you know, I would recommend every marketer to really study. And once you get an understanding, don't just stop there. Keep doing this, right? Because people change, people evolve, and things around the people evolve. And I think the pace of change, if anything, has just kind of 10xed, right? So, that's kind of my secret sauce.On gratitude, growth and giving back35:27: I really do think I've been extremely fortunate in a lot of things. You know, I grew up in India as a girl. My dad was like a feminist, way ahead of his time. I mean, just a man... I mean, we lost him a couple of years ago, but I mean, I always think about, am I going to be able to do that for my child, right? Be that progressive and all of that. And then, you know, getting the opportunity to come here, go to Rice, work in all the fabulous companies I have, lived in all these different countries. Sometimes, when I sit and think about it, I'm like, man, yeah. I have got to be thankful for all this, and then I have to give back, right? I have to help other people because that's just what you do. And I derive a lot of joy from giving back and from helping other people.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profiles:Tanu Grewal | Rice Business

In this episode of The Business of Wellness with Jaclyn London, RD, Jaclyn takes a deep dive into statements made by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during his senate confirmation hearings for Secretary of Health, and discusses the urgent need for reform in America's nutrition policy and the lack of meaningful solutions to combat the chronic disease epidemic driven by U.S. food and healthcare systems. She highlights the missed opportunities exposed during RFK Jr.'s  hearings on Capitol Hill, and why sweeping federal regulations and RFK Jr.'s proposed strategies for improving American health ultimately miss the mark. Then, Jaclyn outlines five actionable policies to improve public health, including integrating cooking education in schools, reforming the Farm Bill to increase access to fresh veggies and fruit, incentivizing food service and restaurants to reduce added sugar, saturated fat and sodium in their menu offerings, tightening marketing regulations for products targeting kids & parents, and the most meaningful step in Making America Healthy Again and reversing the chronic disease epidemic : Getting nutrition counseling by a Registered Dietitian covered by insurance. Jaclyn also discusses the importance of transparency in the food industsry, how and why she believes that free market strategies and deregulatory policies can work by shifting incentive structures and focusing on strategic inititaives.

In this episode, I chatted with Katie MacDonald, co-founder of Tailwind, a pioneering firm dedicated to driving innovation in climate adaptation.

How To Turn Your Darkest Moments Into a Life of Success This interview is going to shake your perspective on what's possible in life. My guest today is Dan Martell, a guy who went from being on the brink of destruction to building a multi-million dollar empire. We're talking about a man who, at 16, was ready to end it all—literally staring down the barrel of a gun. And yet, through sheer will and a few pivotal moments, he transformed that darkness into an extraordinary life of wealth, success, and fulfillment. In our conversation, Dan opens up about his past like never before. From growing up in a broken home to running from the law, he shares how one roadblock—and a stuck gun—gave him a second chance at life. What's truly incredible is that Dan didn't just survive his darkest moments. He used them as fuel to build a life he could've never imagined. Today, he's a highly successful entrepreneur, best-selling author, and someone I've had the honor of coaching personally. But this isn't just about Dan's story of survival. It's about the lessons he's learned along the way. We dig deep into how he developed the resilience and mindset to go from nothing to a nine-figure net worth, the tactics he used to “buy back” his time, and the emotional and mental work that allowed him to become the man he is today. Dan didn't just learn how to run a business—he learned how to live a life of purpose, balance, and unlimited creation. Here's what you'll take away from this episode: The pivotal moments that saved Dan's life and changed his trajectory forever. How to "buy back your time" and avoid becoming a prisoner to your own success. The role of faith and how it has been a guiding force in Dan's journey. Why emotional control is the key to thriving in business and life. Practical steps to break free from the past and design a future you're proud of. Dan's journey from the edge of despair to living a life of abundance is proof that no matter where you start, you have the power to create something extraordinary. His story will move you, and the lessons he shares are ones you can apply to your own life, starting today.
