In this episode of The Entrepreneurial You, Heneka Watkis-Porter welcomes leadership expert and best-selling author Kevin Wayne Johnson to explore the power of servant leadership. With a career that bridges corporate strategy and faith-driven values, Kevin shares how leading with patience, empathy, and humility can transform organisations—and lives. From his deeply personal journey caring for his younger brother with a mental disability to answering a prophetic call to ministry, Kevin's leadership style is grounded in compassion and purpose. If you're ready to lead by lifting others, this episode will challenge, inspire, and empower you to step into a more meaningful version of leadership. Servant Leadership: Leading With the Heart Kevin introduces the core of servant leadership as a philosophy centred on serving first. He explains that leadership isn't about commanding attention or holding authority—it's about uplifting those around you, offering hope, and providing real support. His journey began at home, where caring for his younger brother shaped his outlook. It continued into the workplace, where he combined corporate leadership with faith-based principles, building trust, collaboration, and lasting impact. Heneka and Kevin both agree: the best leaders are those who put people before power. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • What servant leadership really means in modern business • How to balance authority with humility and empathy • Why faith plays a critical role in leadership decisions • How to build trust and connection through authentic conversations • The value of storytelling in humanising leadership • Why leading with energy and purpose drives real impact Whether you're leading a team, building a business, or shaping your community, Kevin's wisdom will guide you to lead with courage, character, and compassion. Tune in now—and don't forget to share this episode with a fellow leader who leads from the heart. COMMUNITY CONNECTION: Now it's time for our Community Connection segment! We'd love to hear from YOU—our amazing listeners—about how you're applying servant leadership principles in your own life or business.

How to Publish a Bestseller (Without Getting Scammed) With Michelle DeFilippo

In this episode of The Entrepreneurial You, Heneka Watkis-Porter sits down with publishing industry veteran Michele DeFilippo, founder of 1106 Design. With over 50 years in the book publishing world, Michele brings a wealth of knowledge on how authors can take control of their publishing journey, avoid scams, and profit from their passion. She breaks down the evolution of self-publishing, revealing how independent authors can compete with traditional publishers—and win—by maintaining ownership, setting industry-standard quality, and being smart about their choices. Whether you're a first-time writer or a seasoned author, Michele's guidance provides a blueprint for building a successful, scam-free publishing experience. The Power of Self-Publishing: Profit, Control & Protection Michele is clear: self-publishing isn't just an alternative—it's a business decision. Authors can maintain creative control, keep more of their earnings, and bring their books to market without signing away their rights. But with this freedom comes responsibility. Michele warns against shady hybrid publishers that charge high production fees and still claim a share of your royalties. Her advice? If you're paying for the work, own the outcome—including your files, your ISBNs, and your book's future. Heneka echoes the importance of being informed, noting how many aspiring authors fall victim to scams due to lack of publishing knowledge. Competing With Traditional Publishing: Yes, You Can Michele debunks the myth that self-published books are inferior. With platforms like Amazon KDP and IngramSpark, and a focus on professional-quality design, editing, and typesetting, indie authors can match—and often exceed—the quality of traditional publishers. The key? Following industry standards and never cutting corners. “Readers don't care how a book is published,” Michele says, “only that it's well done.” She urges authors to purchase their own ISBNs through Bowker, which allows them to retain full control over the book in all its formats—eBook, paperback, or hardback. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • How to avoid scams and bad deals in the publishing industry • Why self-publishing can be more profitable and empowering than traditional routes • How to meet traditional publishing standards on your own • Why owning your ISBNs and production files matters • Smart marketing tactics for positioning your book as a business tool • The truth about bestseller programs—and what really drives book success This episode is a must-listen for any aspiring author ready to publish with confidence, clarity, and control. Tune in, take notes, and share it with someone who dreams of becoming a published writer—without the pitfalls. COMMUNITY CONNECTION: Now it's time for our Community Connection segment!

Tony Abou-Ganim, a legendary figure in the world of cocktails and hospitality with nearly five decades behind the bar, is sounding an alarm for the industry he cherishes. “Where did the fun go?” he asks – a question that reverberates across the ever-evolving landscape of bars and beverage culture. As the founder of cocktail platform Modern Mixologist, Tony's career has been a masterclass in passion and perseverance. From his early days as a barback in small-town Michigan to becoming one of the most respected voices in hospitality, his journey is defined by innovation, excellence, and heart. A three-time champion on Iron Chef America, Tony helped launch the groundbreaking beverage program at the Bellagio Las Vegas. Today, he continues to shape the industry as a consultant for Royal Caribbean, high-profile venues, and leading beverage alcohol companies, where he lends his expertise to cutting-edge ready-to-drink cocktail development. In this conversation, Tony reflects on his path in parallel with the evolution of cocktail culture – from the rise of craft mixology to the risk of elitism behind the bar. He explains why eliciting connection and joy is at the core of hospitality, shares his vision to revive his family's historic bar, and offers insights into where the industry is heading – touching on everything from the sober-curious movement to the soaring price of cocktails, and what it truly means to brighten someone's day, one drink at a time. Show notes: 0:25: Tony Abou-Ganim, Founder, Modern Mixologist – On location at the 2025 Nassau Paradise Island Wine & Food Festival, Tony talks about formative experiences working at his cousin's bar, The Brass Rail, and how, in a full-circle moment, he is now restoring it to its original 1937 charm. He also reflects on 45 years in the industry,  and celebrates its evolution – from artificial mixers to fresh ingredients and artisanal presentation – while criticizing the rise of ego and elitism in cocktail culture. Tony discusses the classic roots of modern cocktails and why creativity lies in thoughtful reinterpretation rather than originality and how sober-curious lifestyles have yielded challenges and opportunities for bar culture. Tony also advocates for a return to the joy and spontaneity that once defined nightlife and why he advises aspiring beverage entrepreneurs to seek honest feedback and recognize that long-standing relationships are still the cornerstone of success.

Eric shares his professional journey—from decades in agency and consultancy work with major brands like Michelin and Royal Caribbean, to leading UX at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and now building his own company focused on creating seamless customer interactions across digital and physical touchpoints.Eric discusses how AI is rapidly reshaping the customer experience landscape, emphasizing that it's a powerful tool—not a solution on its own. He shares both the promise and the current limitations of AI, particularly in customer support scenarios, likening poorly designed chatbots to frustrating call center loops from the 1980s.A major theme in the episode is understanding customer behavior through cultural, situational, and demographic lenses. Eric cautions against forcing users into preferred communication channels and instead advises companies to map the ideal journey for different personas and optimize each channel for a frictionless experience.He offers a powerful case study from the pharmaceutical industry, where AI is being used to transform labor-intensive literature reviews—cutting timelines from six months to potentially two weeks. This not only boosts business efficiency but also accelerates drug development, delivering life-saving treatments to patients faster.Eric also touches on:AI leadership and how it should drive business strategy by identifying areas for efficiency and innovation.Tools he can't live without, like Claude AI and Notion, which he uses to manage his business and ideas.His excitement about no-code tools like Bolt.new and Lovable, which allow rapid prototyping of full-stack apps without technical skills.The enduring value of classic books like Getting to Yes and The Design of Everyday Things, which shaped his thinking around negotiation and customer-centric design.The importance of motivation and resilience, fueled by the exciting pace of innovation and meaningful human connections with clients and team members.He closes with a favorite quote by Benjamin Franklin:"Tell me and I forget.

Royal Caribbean Group (RCL) stock has taken a hit along with its peers in the cruise line sector, but Landon Swan, co-founder of LikeFolio, believes the company's strong fundamentals and affluent customer base will help it weather the storm. Swan notes that while record bookings may be slowing slightly, Royal Caribbean is still outperforming its competitors, with onboard spending up 20% and a younger, more modern fleet. However, with the stock up $50 from its recent lows, Swan thinks it may be due for a short-term pullback, making it a "buy the dip" opportunity for long-term investors.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Join Heneka Watkis-Porter, the #JamaicanPodcastQueen, in this insightful episode of The Entrepreneurial You, as she welcomes Pete Mohr—exit strategist, Kolbe-certified coach, and founder of Simplifying Entrepreneurship. With over 20 years of experience in building, scaling, and selling businesses, Pete helps entrepreneurs reclaim their time, build strong teams, and create systems that allow businesses to thrive independently. With over 400 million small businesses worldwide, and only 20% surviving beyond five years, Pete shares why many entrepreneurs get stuck in the operator role and what it truly takes to transition into true business ownership. Understanding Business Value and Financials Pete explains why clean financials are the key to long-term business success. He sheds light on common exit planning myths, such as overestimating business value and assuming that a business can be sold at any time. He introduces the concept of Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) and emphasizes how understanding your contracts, team, and financials is crucial to becoming “exit ready.” Team Dynamics with the Kolbe Assessment Heneka and Pete discuss the Kolbe Assessment, a tool that helps leaders build more effective teams by understanding conative strengths—how people naturally take action. Pete explains how aligning team roles with Kolbe profiles can reduce micromanagement and boost productivity, especially during times of growth or exit transitions. Pete's 5 P's + Promotion for Business Growth Pete shares his signature 5 P's Framework—Promise, Product, Process, People, Profit—along with a new 6th P: Promotion. This model helps entrepreneurs create transferable systems that lead to long-term scalability and success. Heneka resonates with this approach and shares her vision for empowering business owners to step into a more strategic, visionary role. Planning for Continuity and Unpredictable Risks Pete highlights that 50% of businesses are sold out of necessity—due to death, divorce, disability, or other external factors. He stresses the importance of preparing for business continuity risks and not waiting until it's too late to start strategizing for exit and succession planning. COMMUNITY CONNECTION: In this segment, I invite our community to share your reviews, questions, feedback, ect to engage with us. I'd love to hear from YOU—our amazing listeners—about your thoughts on today's episode or any questions you may have for Pete or myself.

Also, I'm thrilled to share details about my upcoming LeadHerShip Cruise, a groundbreaking leadership and networking event hosted aboard Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas! This unique experience brings together a diverse community of leaders, professionals, and entrepreneurs for four unforgettable days of growth, empowerment, and transformative learning against the stunning backdrop of the Bahamas.

Vacations are supposed to be carefree—a time to disconnect from stress and reconnect with loved ones. But for the Bradley family, a Caribbean cruise aboard Rhapsody of the Seas became the start of a nightmare. Just three days into their trip, 23-year-old Amy Lynn Bradley vanished without a trace. No signs of struggle. No clear answers. How does someone disappear from a ship filled with thousands of people? And why, decades later, are there still whispers that Amy may be alive? This is the story of a young woman who set sail with her family… and never came home.

Timestamps: (5:50) - Tracey Nix Update (10:44) - Amy Lynn Bradley In March 1998, Amy Bradley boarded a Royal Caribbean cruise with her brother, mother and father, looking forward to some fun in the sun. The family enjoyed seeing Aruba and taking advantage of all that the ship had to offer including restaurants, bars and nightclubs. One night on their cruise, Amy and her brother Brad danced until the early morning hours at the nightclub on the ship. They went back to their cabin and Amy was seen asleep by her father just after 5am. When he woke up again at 6am, Amy was gone.   27 years later, Amy remains missing. The investigation into her disappearance has been criticized by her family as Royal Caribbean did not want to alarm other passengers on board.    Over the years, there have been many reported sightings of Amy and it is feared that she has been trafficked and is being forced to work in the sex industry. Was Amy abducted and smuggled off the ship?  Could she still be alive? Or did she fall overboard and drown?

Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast I am delighted to welcome back a special guest, my cohost Cheryl.We are largely in the bucket list checking stage of our lives, and just got the opportunity to check one off—a cruise on a luxury cruise line, specifically Explora Journeys and its first ship, Explora I. Let me preface with a brief overview oo the main categories of cruise lines:Mainstream-Carnival, Royal Caribbean, NCLPremium-Celebrity, Holland America, Princess, Virgin Voyages, DisneyLuxury-Regent Seven Seas, Seaborne, Crystal, Windstar You can argue with those classifications but that is accepted in the cruising industry. Where you are more likely to get arguments is about these cruise lines on the edge between categories. When we decided on explora journeys it was not on our luxury cruise radar—the luxury lines just mentioned were. This aspiration to cruise in luxury was decidedly low on the list simply due to affordability; we have so many more affordable bucket list items; like going to the Panama Canal this fall. Then Explora Journeys surprisingly dominated the luxury category of the Cruise Critics Awards just a short time before I hosted Colleen Mc Daniel who happens to be the Editor-in-Chief of Cruise Critic. Not only did Colleen pique my interest by sharing her own experience on Explora Journeys but she turned me on to some Explora promotions—still going on—that had me researching as soon as the call ended with Colleen.That research confirmed Colleen's mention of attractive pricing, and it led me to several podcast guests who could talk about Explora Journeys including Kathy Lu, an executive with Explora Journeys, before we boarded in March. Support the showSupport thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises http://www.thejoyofvacation.com/US Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

Join us as we discuss our experience on Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas and Princess Cruise Lines' Sun Princess. In this detailed discussion, we talk about everything from flight Irregular Operations (IRROPS) and loyalty rewards to dining, entertainment and more, drawing out differences, common features, and what we liked and didn't like. To kick off our conversation, we talk about flights to Jacksonville and Orlando, and some of the unexpected obstacles along the way. Next, we touch on key aspects of the experience at Utopia of the Seas: facilities, dining, casino, and more, before diving into Thomas's arrival on the Sun Princess. Comparing the demographics on each ship, Thomas shares what he liked about the dining setup and entertainment options, drawing a comparison with other cruise trips. Despite having been sick, Thomas shares a short review of what he was able to partake in, including a specialty European-style dinner. If you're curious about the newest ships on two different cruise lines, this episode is for you! Key Points From This Episode: [00:45] What this episode will explore: two different cruises. [04:13] The journey to Jacksonville and Orlando. [12:05] Royal Caribbean's newest ship, Utopia of the Seas.  [15:02] Splitting up for lunch on day two before enjoying the ice and aqua shows.  [22:32] Loyalty, points and miles in the cruise community.  [26:39] How ‘Name that Tune' in the Main Theatre exceeded expectations. [30:30] Dining on Utopia of the Seas.  [37:04] The casino experience and final thoughts on the Utopia experience.  [41:20] One feature both ships share that we agree all cruise ships should have.  [44:46] Thomas's arrival on Sun Princess, the buffet, demographic, and entertainment.  [50:56] Ports on the itinerary and why Thomas only got to experience one of them.  [51:26] The specialty dinner he got to enjoy: The Butcher's Block by Dario.   [55:44] Staff on the Sun Princess in comparison to Royal Caribbean.  [59:30] Gaming and travel-hacking discussions that will follow in future Patreon episodes.   Quotes: “One thing that really jumped out at me is, because it's such a big ship, [there's so much to do], there's an ice show, there's an aqua show, they have two different shows in the main theatre, they've got two different slides—you can't do it all.” — @tmount [13:59] “I also suspect that putting their best product out there, their newest ship with all the newest bells and whistles and restaurants, they are converting a lot more who may not have been looking at cruises.” — @tmount [13:34] “For better or for worse, Royal Caribbean is actually pretty good at delivering a standardized product.” — @TktweetsKim [35:44] “This trip was trying out the newest ships on two different cruise lines.
