    S2EP44, Dream Big, Work Hard and Never Quit with Nazi Refugee and Successful Marketing Executive Barbara Sommer Feigin I read Barbara's book, “My American Dream” twice. I couldn't get her parents’ harrowing escape from Nazi Germany out of my mind. What her father did to make it happen is truly heroic. At a time when it was nearly impossible to leave the country, he kept finding one alternate route after another. Barbara, as a 3 year old, traveled from Germany to Lithuania to Russia to China to Korea to Japan to Canada and then to the US. Not knowing how they were going to do it, her parents started a whole new life in America. Barbara wanted to fit in with the other kids and be an American, so never asked about their journey. When her sister found their father’s journal, they were fascinated. "My American Dream," by Barbara Sommer Feigin tells her parents story and her own. She hopes you will get the importance of freedom, the power of education, how her strong family bonds kept her going in difficult times, and her mother's motto - Dream Big, Work Hard, and Never Quit. Barbara and her family are true American heroes. Thank you, Barbara for your courage, being willing to have your voice heard, and your inspiration. Barbara's book can be found at barbarafeigin.com Bio: Barbara Feigin, author My American Dream. From Nazi Germany refugee to breaking glass ceilings in the Madmen era of advertising, to becoming Exec. VP of Grey Advertising (now Grey Global),Feigin was often the only woman in the (board)room. Her success is legendary with ad campaigns under her belt like, "Easy, Breezy CoverGirl," "Friend Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk '' (yes, that's Barbara), and expanding the Kool-Aid brand. Raising three sons (one of whom is President of the Milwaukee Bucks), caring for her husband who suffered two strokes, and maintaining a high-power career in advertising, Barbara Feigin is a remarkable person with remarkable stories to share.

    S2EP49, Fear Is A Collective Mindset, How To Escape It, Thought Snob with Paula Swope What does Thought Snob mean? Well, you'll have to watch my interview with Paula Swope to find out. She wrote the book. She was raised to think she was nothing. She spent up until age 28, feeling like she was nothing, bitter, wanting revenge and full of hate. She was a high school dropout, a binge drinker, had ballooned up to size 16, and had a bunch of boyfriends who treated her like crap. What happened next? Well, when I met Paula, she had her stuff together. She was married, had a college degree, a Master's degree, and a loving husband. How did she go from the person she was at 28 to a 46-year-old with a wonderful life? Tune into our interview and get Paula's book, ThoughtSnob to hear her story. Link to book: https://a.co/d/5esIYs6 Paula can be found at http://www.paulaswope.com Paula Swope describes herself as a nerd disguised in Gucci sunglasses and 4” Jimmy Choos who will choose a scholarly article over something petty any day of the week. But those who follow her teachings consider her to be the most relatable self-help author they have ever known. Before becoming a self-empowerment expert, Paula Swope raised $60M for impoverished populations. When she was fenced in and punching a time clock, she said, “If I can make a living helping people, I’ll have it made.” That’s precisely what she did as a fundraiser and what she’s doing today as an author, social media influencer, podcast host, and life coach. Her life purpose is to help people transform their lives as she has, which inspired her to write her debut book, Thought SNOB: The Modern Spiritual Playbook for a Better Life. In addition to her bachelor’s and master’s degrees, Paula has three certifications from the prestigious Chopra Center. #hilaryburns #gettingrealwithhilary #realtalk #getreal #getfree #inspiration #paulaswope #thoughtsnob #author #fear #wealth #vulnerability #chopracertifiedinstructor #narcissist #Appalachia #mentalhealth #inflammation #bingedrinking #trauma #poverty #waynedyer #revenge #grantwriting #healthyrelationships #forgiveness #thegettingrealwithhilaryshow #prosperity #louisehay #bitterness #love #divorce

    Title: S2 EP46 | Saving the Number One Female Valet Service in Los Angeles with Gillian Harris Did you know there were female valet services? I did not, but I certainly received an education today during my fast-paced, exciting, and whirlwind interview today with Gillian Harris. Gillian started out in the radio business as a reporter, then spent years as a popular, well-known DJ in the LA area, and then, found herself out of a job. She was hired to run a female valet service. After her first ride, she was hooked. For the last 21 years she has been running her own, highly successful company called "Valley of the Dolls." It was named "Best Valet of LA," has served every White House, and has created a sisterhood of female valets. Gillian is moving on from the business and is looking for an entrepreneurial woman to seize the opportunity to take over her company. To get a feel for your new adventure, please watch the interview. You can reach out to Gillian at her website: Valetofthedolls.com Or email her at park@valetofthedolls.com. Thank you, Gillian, for the difference you make for women and for what you are doing for the planet. BIO: Despite the presence of over 100 valet companies in the city, women face significant barriers to entry in this field. While men with no experience can easily secure valet positions, women are consistently turned away. Valet Of The Dolls is the sole exception, offering women a fair shot in a male-dominated industry. Since its founding in 2003, Valet Of The Dolls has built a sterling reputation, becoming the preferred valet service for the entertainment industry and even the White House. In an era where women's rights and empowerment are under threat, current owner, Gillian Harris, has dedicated 21 years to leading the company with a vision of maintaining this legacy. She is committed to finding a successor who will uphold the company's mission of empowering women. She says, "14.7% of all valet attendants are women, while 85.3% are men." Gillian reveals that male competitors are eager to buy her company solely to capture its client base, aiming to eliminate the competition posed by female-led valet service. This stark reality underscores the importance of preserving Valet Of The Dolls. With hundreds of loyal customers and a team of ambitious women, the company’s motto, "A drive for ambition & an Ambition to Drive," epitomizes its spirit. Gillian is available for interviews to discuss the future of Valet Of The Dolls, the challenges facing women in the valet industry, and her vision for sustaining female empowerment in this unique field. Let’s ensure that the legacy of female valets continues to thrive in Los Angeles. Your coverage can make a pivotal difference.

    Title: S2 EP57 | From Parisian Pop Star to America's Got Talent - Inspiring at Age 83 - Ildy Lee Ildy Lee was a poor Hungarian refugee living in Paris when her parents gave her her first guitar. She learned to play it herself, entered a contest, and became a teen pop star sensation in Paris. Ildy is a singer/songwriter who believes it's never too late. Starring in many shows across Europe in her 20's, she left to get married and raise her 2 children. Once they were grown, she became a TV host at age 76, released her first albums at age 81, was on America's Got Talent in her 70's, and is a movie star now at the age of 83. Oh, and let’s not forget her book that will probably be made into a film and the orphanage she helped built with her famous song, the Blind guitarist. Ildy's message is "don't ever give up on your dreams. It is never too late." And she should know. She has more energy and works harder than most people. Thank you, Ildy, for being an inspiration to all of us. Thank you for the difference you are making all over the world. Bio in Ildy’s own words: I am a Singer-songwriter, author, and TV host committed to humanitarian/environmental issues. My songs helped blind children and the homeless, fight violence-pollution-global warming-racial discrimination-war-etc. I sing in 12 languages and wrote 500 songs in three languages. As a destitute political refugee girl I came to Paris with just a suitcase but big dreams! People laughed at my oversized clothes and leaky shoes. When discovered on TV, I became a star and people stopped laughing. Music transformed my sad life into a Cinderella story! So my new friends, don't ever give up! Have big dreams, believe in yourself and be kind to others even if they laugh at you. Raise your head high, keep your eyes on your goals and you will reach them like I did! As a hard worker, I am constantly improving myself.

    Title: S2 EP58 | Everybody Is More Complex Than a Diagnosis with Marcia Naomi Berger I didn't know what to expect when I read the Bipolar Therapist, by Marcia Naomi Berger. But here's what I do know. I couldn't put it down. Marcia's courageous storytelling gives you insights insights into what it is like to have manic episodes, be treated differently, be hospitalized multiple times, and yet still end up living a productive, fulfilling love-filled life. If you know someone who is afraid of their diagnosis, stigma or medication, give them Marcia's book. It is a true to life telling of the 15 years where her life radically changed on the day of her sister's wedding. She never made it there. Thank you, Marcia, for your courage, your dedication to helping people, and your commitment to wonderful marriages. Website: https://marcianaomiberger.com/
