What happens when you spend 27 years building a career in healthcare, then decide to bet on yourself and build something of your own? For Steve Ruiz, it meant leaving the comfort of a long career, trusting his instincts, and turning a passion for Puerto Rican food into a growing family business.On this episode of I'm An Artist, Not A Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with Steve Ruiz, co-owner of Mama D's Empanadas, to talk about entrepreneurship, Puerto Rican culture, family, risk, resilience, and what it really takes to build a business from the ground up.Steve's journey is anything but predictable. Growing up in Bushwick, Brooklyn, he dreamed of playing professional baseball and even had an opportunity to try out with the Minnesota Twins. After suffering a serious knee injury and experiencing a heart attack at just 18 years old, his path took a completely different direction. He eventually found his way into the medical field, where he spent 27 years working at Hospital for Special Surgery.But while Steve had a stable career, he and his wife, Diana, were building something on the side. What started as a food truck grew over six or seven years, introducing customers throughout New Jersey to authentic Puerto Rican empanadas and cuisine. Eventually, people kept asking the same question: Where can we get your food all the time?That question helped push Steve and his family toward opening Mama D's Empanadas, a brick-and-mortar restaurant in New Jersey. Making that leap wasn't easy. Leaving a 27-year career meant giving up security, taking on risk, learning an entirely new industry, and figuring out how to run everything from food preparation to equipment repairs and customer service.Steve explains why he believes failing is easier than succeeding. Failure can teach you what went wrong and give you another chance to improve. Success brings a different challenge: figuring out how to repeat it and keep moving forward. That mindset has helped Steve approach entrepreneurship with patience, accountability, consistency, and a willingness to learn.A major part of the conversation is the importance of Puerto Rican culture and storytelling through food. Steve isn't simply selling empanadas. He's sharing the food, traditions, memories, and family stories behind them. Mama D's is designed to make people feel at home, whether they're Puerto Rican, Latino, or someone experiencing Puerto Rican cuisine for the first time.Puerto Rican food and culture as a foundation for building a businessLeaving a 27-year healthcare career to pursue entrepreneurshipGrowing from a food truck into a brick-and-mortar restaurantWhy consistency and quality matter more than gimmicksLearning from customers and constantly developing new empanada flavorsThe importance of research before taking a major financial riskWhy Steve chose to buy the building instead of simply signing a commercial leaseBuilding a business that can become part of the family's long-term legacyThe conversation also gets personal. Steve talks openly about fatherhood, raising his children, and the lessons he shared with his daughter before she entered the U.S. Space Force. His daughter went on to become a cybersecurity expert working with satellites, while his son built his own career in Connecticut. Steve's approach is simple: give your children the tools and guidance they need, but don't force them into the family business. Let them create their own path.Listen to IAANAS Podcast: I'm An Artist, Not A Salesman, hosted by Luis Guzman, for real conversations about creativity, business, culture, personal growth, and the messy road to building a life on your own terms.

What happens when the world thinks it knows who you are before you've had the chance to define yourself?This week, Samantha sits down with Chanel Valentine Haynes—entrepreneur, creator, mother, founder of Mom for Life, and daughter of hip-hop icon Nelly—for an honest conversation about identity, motherhood, relationships, ambition, and becoming the woman you were always meant to be.Chanel opens up about growing up in the public eye and the pressure that came with having a famous last name. She shares how navigating a private school environment where she often felt different shaped her confidence and sense of self., why motherhood completely shifted her perspective on relationships, and what she's learned about giving both herself and the people she loves room to grow.They also get into something so many women wrestle with: Can we be ambitious and independent while still wanting softness, love, luxury, family, and support?For Chanel, the answer is yes—but she's also learning that having it all doesn't mean doing it all.In this episode:Growing up as Nelly's daughter and building her legacyThe unexpected impact of fame and visibility on Chanel's self-esteemDating when you have to question someone's intentionsWhy Chanel's views on relationships changed after motherhoodThe difference between “settling” and allowing your partner room to growHow motherhood helped Chanel slow down and become more intentionalEntrepreneurship, ambition, and avoiding burnoutWhy women shouldn't have to choose between softness and successLearning to accept help instead of always doing everything yourselfThe childhood experiences that shaped Chanel's instinct to nurtureWhy she created the Mom for Life platformGiving our parents grace when we finally understand how young they wereWhat Chanel hopes her younger self would think of the woman she is todayChanel's story is a reminder that you can appreciate where you came from without allowing it to define where you're going.You can be a mother and an entrepreneur. Soft and ambitious. Independent and supported. You can evolve without apologizing for the woman you're becoming.Connect with ChanelInstagram: @thelifeofvalentine_Mom for Life Podcast on Instagram: @momforlifepodcastFacebook: The Life of ValentineConnect with SamanthaInstagram: @therunningwinemom_Website: The Running Wine MomSubscribe to The Running Wine Mom wherever you listen to podcasts, and if this conversation resonated with you, share it with another woman who needs the reminder that she doesn't have to fit into just one box.

What happens when a legal case becomes global entertainment?When a celebrity is accused of serious wrongdoing, the public rarely waits for a courtroom verdict before forming an opinion. News headlines, documentaries, podcasts, social media commentary and viral clips can shape a narrative long before all the available evidence has been examined.In this compelling episode of A Voice and Beyond, I speak with attorney and legal commentator James Porfido about the complex relationship between celebrity, media influence, public opinion and the justice system.Drawing on high-profile cases involving figures such as Michael Jackson and Sean "Diddy" Combs, James explores what happens when allegations are tried simultaneously in a courtroom and in the court of public opinion.Our conversation is not about declaring guilt or innocence. Instead, it examines how we consume stories about public figures, how easily allegation can be confused with proof and why critical thinking is essential when legal proceedings become part of popular culture.In this episode, we discuss:Why public opinion is not the same as a legal verdictThe difference between an allegation, evidence and proofHow celebrity status can influence the way legal cases are reportedMichael Jackson's legal history and the continuing debate surrounding his legacyThe complexity around cases involving Sean "Diddy" Combs and Jeffrey EpsteinWhether celebrity defendants can receive a genuinely fair trialHow confirmation bias affects the information we accept or rejectWhy due process matters, even when public emotions are intenseThe danger of confusing online popularity with credibilityHow audiences can become more responsible consumers of legal contentThis episode is ultimately a conversation about media literacy, justice and personal responsibility.It is a reminder that critical thinking does not mean dismissing allegations or refusing to believe those who come forward. It means holding space for seriousness and compassion while also respecting evidence, due process and the presumption of innocence.Find James Here:justicewithporfido.com/facebook.com/porfidolawinstagram.com/jamesporfido/linkedin.com/in/james-m-porfido-b007461a1/Book:Unequal Justice: The Search for Truth to Balance the Scalesxlibris.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/861729-unequal-justiceFind Marisa online:Website: https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmarisaleenaismith/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmarisaleenaismith/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/marisa.lee.12YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@avoiceandbeyond3519/videosResources:MLN Coaching Program: https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/mentoring/Schedule a Free Clarity Call: https://calendly.com/info-56015/discovery Gratitude Journal: https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/product/in-gratitude-my-daily-self-journal/Download your eBook: Thriving in a Creative Industry: https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/product/ebook-thriving-in-a-creative-industry-dr-marisa-lee-naismith/Like this episode?

Most critics are missing the real story behind the new Michael Jackson biopic—and on this episode of The Whitfield Report, Sam Whitfield breaks down why that matters.In this eye-opening review, Sam explores how the film succeeds where mainstream criticism falls short: by focusing on Michael's unmatched creative genius, his complicated family dynamics, and the artistry that made him a global icon.

The episode examines why the film deliberately avoids tabloid controversies and instead offers a more grounded, human perspective on Michael's ambitions, struggles, and compassion.In this episode:Why critics are focusing on the wrong aspects of the filmHow the biopic honors Michael's artistic legacyThe power of experiencing this film in theatersWhat audiences can gain from a more authentic portrayalThis isn't just a movie review—it's a conversation about legacy, storytelling, and how cultural icons are remembered.If you care about music history, authentic storytelling, or the truth behind the headlines, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Please Support The Show:Sam's Substack: https://samwhitfield.substack.com/Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheWhitfieldReportGuilded Server: https://www.guilded.gg/r/zzzE8b61qR?i=AYwozWndAmazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Sam-Whitfield/author/B00M1DNU88Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4DIcoDO0BIDyuH7SWIsAB8American Instinct Pulp Adventures: https://americaninstinct.substack.comYouTube (Reloaded): https://www.youtube.com/@WhitfieldReportReloadedKick: https://kick.com/whitfieldreportBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/whitfieldreport

This year's theme for Global Holistic Wealth Day is “Resilient Wealth in an Uncertain World”, and given the level of global economic fallout, building sustainable future-proof Holistic Wealth that endures is critical.“Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight, for you do not know what disaster may come upon the land. If clouds are full of water, they pour rain on the earth. Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there will it lie” – Ecclesiastes 11:2-3, New International VersionResources Used in This Episode:Ecclesiastes 11:2-3 (New International Version) Holistic Wealth (Expanded and Updated): 36 Life Lessons To Help You Recover From Disruption, Find Your Life Purpose and Achieve Financial FreedomHolistic Wealth Personal Workbook by Keisha BlairThe Certified Holistic Wealth Consultant ProgramWhat is Resilient Wealth vs Holistic Wealth? A Complete GuideResilient Wealth is the ability to build, protect and adapt your income, assets, and financial systems in times of uncertainty – focusing on diversification, multiple income streams and financial flexibility so you can withstand economic shocks. Holistic Wealth (coined by Keisha Blair), is a comprehensive approach to wealth that goes beyond money to include financial, emotional, mental, physical, spiritual and relational well-being in addition to purpose and meaning in life. Resilient Wealth is a core concept with Holistic Wealth – the Mother Framework – providing the financial strength and adaptability needed to sustain and support every other dimension of a truly balanced, thriving life.Resilient Wealth vs Holistic Wealth: The Critical DifferenceResilient WealthHolistic WealthFocuses on financial diversificationIntegrates all dimensions of lifeProtects against external shocksCreates internal and external stabilityMultiple income streamsMultiple forms of wealth (financial, emotional, social)Risk managementLife design and resilienceSurvival-focusedSustainability and fulfillment Topic:Resilient Wealth vs Holistic Wealth: The Meaning of Ecclesiastes 11:2 and Why You Need 7–8 Income Streams TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER A 3,000-Year-Old Wealth Strategy That Still Outperforms Modern FinanceWhat if one of the most advanced wealth strategies in the world was written over 3,000 years ago? In Ecclesiastes 11:2, we read:“Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight, for you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.” At first glance, this sounds like simple advice about diversification. When examined closely—through the lens of modern economics, global instability, and the Holistic Wealth Framework—this verse reveals something far more powerful:A blueprint for Resilient Wealth in an uncertain world.And yet, Solomon's life reveals an even deeper truth:Resilient Wealth alone is not enough.The Context Most People Miss: Solomon's Existential CrisisTo understand Ecclesiastes 11:2, we must first understand the mindset of its author. Solomon was not writing from a place of aspiration. He was writing from disillusionment. He had already achieved what most people are striving for today:Extraordinary financial wealthGlobal influence and trade networksIntellectual mastery and recognitionPolitical and economic powerAnd yet, throughout Ecclesiastes, he repeats a striking phrase:“Meaningless, meaningless, everything is meaningless.” This is not a rejection of wealth. It is a recognition of its limits. Solomon had discovered something that modern finance still struggles to address:Wealth without resilience is fragile.But even resilient wealth, on its own, is incomplete.Ecclesiastes 11:2 Explained: The First Model of Resilient WealthWhen Solomon writes:“Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight…”. He is not speaking theoretically. He is speaking from experience. Historical and biblical accounts show that Solomon operated one of the most diversified economic systems in history. His “ventures” included:Governance and taxation systemsInfrastructure and real estate developmentGlobal trade and commerce networksShipping and logistics fleetsAgricultural and resource productionPrecious metals and treasury reservesStrategic alliances and diplomacyIntellectual capital and influenceThis was not just diversification. It was layered resilience. Each “venture” served as a buffer against uncertainty—exactly as the verse warns:“…you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.”This is the essence of Resilient Wealth:Multiple income streamsDiversified assetsReduced exposure to single points of failureWhy Resilient Wealth Was Not Enough for SolomonHere is the critical insight that changes everything:Solomon already had Resilient Wealth.He had:Multiple streams of incomeGlobal diversificationStrategic alliancesAsset accumulation at scaleAnd yet—he still experienced a profound existential crisis. Why? Because his challenge was not purely financial. It was human. He confronted:The limits of controlThe inevitability of time and mortalityThe fragility of legacyThe absence of enduring meaningThis reveals a fundamental gap in traditional wealth thinking:Resilient Wealth solves external risk.But it does not solve internal instability.Holistic Wealth: The Missing FrameworkThis is where Holistic Wealth becomes essential. The Holistic Wealth Framework expands the definition of wealth beyond money and assets to include the full spectrum of human well-being and stability. While Resilient Wealth focuses on:Income diversificationFinancial protectionEconomic survivalHolistic Wealth includes:Mental and emotional resiliencePurpose and meaningPhysical well-beingSocial and relational capitalTime and lifestyle designFinancial security and independenceIn Solomon's case, the missing piece was not more wealth. It was integration.He had optimized financial systems—but not the human system.These ventures must exist within a Holistic Wealth framework to be sustainable.The Deeper Meaning of EcclesiastesEcclesiastes 11:2 gives us the structure of Resilient Wealth.But the rest of Ecclesiastes reveals the necessity of Holistic Wealth.Solomon's message is layered:Build multiple streams because uncertainty is guaranteedBut understand that wealth alone will not create meaning or stabilityThis dual insight is what makes the verse so powerful—and so relevant today.The Future Is Holistic WealthAs we approach Global Holistic Wealth Day on April 9th, with this year's theme: “Resilient Wealth in an Uncertain World”We are being called to rethink everything we know about wealth.The goal is no longer just to earn more.It is to build systems that:Protect us from uncertaintySustain us across life transitionsProvide meaning, stability, and freedomSolomon's life gives us both the blueprint—and the warning.He built one of the most advanced Resilient Wealth systems in history.And still discovered it was not enough.Join the Global MovementJoin us in celebrating Global Holistic Wealth Day on April 9th and be part of the mission to reach 1 billion people living with Holistic Wealth.

The Source Familywas a high-profile spiritual commune and cult founded in Hollywood in the early 1970s by James Edward Baker, better known as Father Yod. The group is famous for its early adoption of organic health foods, its psychedelic rock band, and its eventual tragic relocation to Hawaii. Key Aspects of The Source FamilyThe Leader: Father Yod was a former WWII hero, Hollywood restaurateur, and stuntman who reinvented himself as a guru. He lived in a mansion with 14 wives and drove a Rolls Royce, claiming he was a "spiritual father" to his 140 followers.The Source Restaurant: The group operated a popular vegetarian restaurant on the Sunset Strip that became a celebrity hotspot for figures like John Lennon and Warren Beatty. It is famously parodied in Woody Allen's Annie Hall.Music: The Family formed an experimental psychedelic rock band called Ya Ho Wha 13. They recorded nine albums between 1973 and 1975, which are now considered cult classics in the psych-rock genre.Beliefs & Lifestyle: Members practiced communal living, yoga, and meditation based on a blend of Western esotericism and the Age of Aquarius. They all adopted the last name "Aquarian".The End: Following pressure from local authorities, the group moved to Hawaii in 1974. In 1975, Father Yod died following a hang-gliding accident on Oahu. The Family largely disbanded shortly after his death. Media & LegacyThe story of the group was brought to a wider audience through the 2012 documentary The Source Family, directed by Jodi Wille and Maria Demopoulos. It was based on the book The Source: The Untold Story of Father Yod, Ya Ho Wa 13 and The Source Family by original members Isis Aquarian and Electricity Aquarian. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

It doesn't anymore.Power creep, rotating threats, and shifting answers mean Legacy now punishes rigid deck identity. Being “the Miracles guy” or “the Reanimator player” might feel comfortable — but it can actively cost you matches, especially when you don't understand how opposing decks actually function.We dig into:Why deck loyalty no longer works in modern LegacyThe difference between deck identity vs. archetype identityHow power creep and new printings force constant adaptationWhy playing decks you hate makes you better at beating themLearning play patterns vs. just knowing card textA painful Eternal Weekend Painter loss — and what it revealedGoblin Engineer, Goblin Welder, and “hidden Demonic Tutors”Why “knowing your enemy” matters most for control playersThe danger of being too precious with your play experienceHow touching your deck (tutors, cantrips) defines archetype powerThe takeaway is simple but uncomfortable:If your goal is to be a better Legacy player, you need to stop being loyal to a single deck and start being loyal to improvement.Deck loyalty is dead.Adapt — or keep losing to play patterns you don't understand.JOIN US ON DISCORD: https://discord.gg/hrC7PxQZTEProudly supported by Three For One Trading: shop.threeforonetrading.comCardmillhttps://cardmill.com/EternalDurdlesMOXFIELDEternal Durdles Moxfield: https://www.moxfield.com/users/EternalDurdleshttps://www.moxfield.com/users/Durdlemagushttps://www.moxfield.com/users/ForceofPhil
