Brandon Gilbert decided to put his business and mechanical engineering background to work in his own company when he started the Pittsburgh Mobile Tire Shop. After numerous subpar experiences at traditional repair stores, he decided that there had to be a better way to provide this important service. Low startup costs and lack of competition in the region enticed Brandon to launch a mobile operation where he could bring the tire shop directly to his customers. In this relaxing and low-pressure environment, people are free to ask questions and develop trust and rapport with him and his staff.Although Brandon became disenfranchised from years of corporate politics, he still needed to overcome the fear of starting his own business. Easing into it by working on it part time helped him to build the confidence to step out on his own. Today, he is leading a thriving operation in an economy that is looking for convenience more than ever before. He recently opened a brick-and-mortar location to expand his service offerings and to compliment his mobile business. When you listen to our conversation you can tell just how seriously Brandon takes customer service and doing a quality job.If you have any questions or if you'd like to chat, you can reach me at my contact info below.

How to Split a Toaster: A divorce podcast about saving your relationships
Meet Neale GodfreyWhen a relationship ends and you haven't been the one taking care of the finances, figuring out how to move forward can be paralyzing. Luckily, it's a learned skill and on today's episode, Pete and Seth are joined by New York Times #1 Best-Selling author Neale Godfrey to discuss finances, kids, gray divorce and more.It's important to understand your own finances and to learn how to handle them moving forward.

In this episode, Jiggy shares her upbringing in a very traditional Korean family, where her traumatic experiences and emotions were not to be spoken of and where expectations of excellence were of the utmost importance. She talks about the effects that this had on her growing up. After she moved to the United States, she was practicing her english in an online chat room, and came across the words "gay", "lesbian" and "bisexual" which led her to discovering an identity that she felt connected to. She shares how she bravely told a few friends when she was young and received homophobic responses that cost her most of her friendships. Jiggy shares how she eventually ended up attending Pennsylvania State University, and discovered another set of new words - "vulnerability", "self awareness" and "empathy". It would be her time attending some gen-ed classes that ended up changing the trajectory of her life. It opened up a whole new space that she never knew existed and one that went against everything she'd been taught as a young girl. A space where emotional intelligence set her on a healing journey. Jiggy is a youth motivational speaker and mental performance coach helping high school and college students increase the longevity of their performance and demand for excellence. Along with her storytelling, Jiggy brings awareness to the importance of mental health and burnout prevention, and teaches practical strategies for students to implement. Jiggy believes that in order to obtain sustainable performance and excellence, we must be both self-disciplined and self-compassionate; both hard working and effectively resting.Jiggy's WebsiteFollow Jiggy on InstagramGet your vulnerably is dope t- shirt hereFollow Candace on Instagram
