Stories That Find Us: Rochelle Weinstein on Pivots and the Power of Persistence

“The writing is the easiest part. It's everything after that—the marketing, the visibility, the noise—that makes this business so tough. But you've got to keep going.” — Rochelle Weinstein Bestselling author Rochelle Weinstein joins Uncorking a Story to reflect on the career crossroads that changed her life. After walking away from a successful role in the music industry, Rochelle sat down and wrote her first novel—without any formal training—and took a leap into self-publishing. That leap paid off, launching a career that would eventually include multiple traditionally published books and a spot on the USA Today Bestseller list. In this episode, she shares her honest take on the business of being an author, the realities of breaking through in a crowded market, and the inspiration behind her latest novel, We Are Made of Stars. Key Takeaways: One bold decision can change everything. Rochelle turned down a big-city career to follow a creative spark—and ended up writing a bestseller. You don't need permission to be an author. She self-published her first two novels and used grit (and marketing smarts) to break through.  Success doesn't always show up on time. Rochelle didn't even know she hit the USA Today list—until five years later. Writing the book is only step one. Rochelle shares why treating your writing like a business is key to longevity in publishing. Even a single sentence can spark a novel. Rochelle's next book was born from a note on a prayer tree: “I wish I never met her.” Her advice to aspiring authors? Keep going. Tune out the noise. And never underestimate the power of your own voice.

Mark discusses his latest book, "Facing the Beast Within," which addresses anxiety in children. He shares his personal connection to the topic, revealing that he was an anxious child himself. His son's experience inspired Mark's transition from teaching to writing with cyberbullying, leading him to self-publish a book set in the Minecraft universe. His success came after multiple rejections and self-publishing efforts, eventually leading to traditional publishing deals. Mark emphasizes the importance of taking risks and the therapeutic power of writing, both for himself and as a tool to help children cope with their struggles.Mark's journey is not just about crafting thrilling tales; it's about touching lives. His latest masterpiece, "Facing the Beast Within," is a beacon of hope for kids grappling with anxiety.

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Justin Breen. Justin started his first company with zero business background. As Justin tells us, at the time he didn't even know what an entrepreneur was. Back then, he was wrapping up a 20-year career as a journalist and decided to leave that profession when his salary was greatly reduced as result of cutbacks. He tried to find a different journalism job but couldn't, so he started a business instead and hasn't looked back. Justin is the Founder and CEO of the global PR firm BrEpic and the exclusive connectivity platform BrEpic Network. His newest book, “Epic Life”, features a foreword from Dr. Peter Diamandis and has been the number one overall book for sales on Amazon Kindle. It also recently made the Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestseller lists.

Epic Life, Epic Business  Take a moment to ask yourself: What's the difference between having a successful life versus creating an epic life of impact? Is building a global, collaborative, visionary organization possible without ignoring those you love? For many leaders, it seems impossible, but is that really true?  In a post covid world, many of us stopped to re-evaluate our values and priorities in life. Some folks left the race; others are still screaming for things to return to normal. But wherever you and I fall on that spectrum, the truth is, at least at some level, we want to make a significant positive impact. But how can we build these epic companies of influence and impact while still being there for those we love?   I sat down for the next two episodes with Justin Breen to gain a deeper understanding of this topic.  Justin Breen was a journalist for 20 years and went on to become the Founder/CEO of the global PR firm BrEpic and exclusive connectivity platform BrEpic Network. Justin's newest book, Epic Life, features a foreword from Dr. Peter Diamandis and has been the No. 1 overall book for sale on Amazon Kindle.

“ADD or ADHD is not a disorder; it's a sign of genius mislabeled by humans.” – Justin Breen   About Our Guest Justin Breen is the Founder/CEO of the global PR firm BrEpic and exclusive connectivity platform BrEpic Network.

Have you found yourself questioning your gifts and if you can really make, move and leave millions? Are you a big picture thinker and visionary with lots of ideas and very little implementation to show for it? Has your greatness been diagnosed and labeled in a way that might stifle your very genius? If you are shaking your head "yes," I know how you feel because I have felt the same. This episode is for people like us - brilliant, big picture thinkers and visionaries who are often misunderstood on our journey to greatness. When I was in grade school, after one of our annual test periods, I was called into the office and informed that I was considered "gifted." Being gifted came with all sorts of baggage and expectations. When I became an entrepreneur, I questioned everything and often felt like I was a nomad, wondering aimlessly vs the child who had been labeled gifted in my youth. My guest, Justin Breen, says that an entrepreneur is "the most damaged person with the best coping skills." People like us, he says, are true geniuses that simplify the problems of the world. People like us - gifted, talented, high achieving entrepreneurs and business owners - are what make the world and businesses move. If you've ever felt out of place and that your greatness and genius was questioned at every turn, grab your pen and Move to Millions Podcast notebook for some true inspiration so that you can continue to shake the planet.
