In this interview, we hear from Master Gommels, with Martial Arts Fitness Center someone who has had a lasting impact on the way I live my life.

Training under Master Gommels has taught me far more than technique. It has taught me discipline, patience, humility, and respect, the kind of lessons that do not stay on the mat but follow you into everything you do. The mindset I have built through martial arts shows up in how I run my business, how I handle pressure, and how I respond when things do not go my way. So much of what he has instilled in me carries directly into the way I approach challenges as an entrepreneur and as a person.

What I respect most about Master Gommels is his consistency and his character. He shows up the same way every single day, fully present and fully invested. He holds his students to a high standard, not through intimidation, but through example. He lives what he teaches, and that is rare. He genuinely cares about the people who walk through his doors and wants to see them grow, not just as martial artists, but as people of strong character.

The lessons I have learned from him have shaped how I carry myself, how I handle adversity, and how I show up for the people around me. He has been a mentor in the truest sense of the word, and the influence he has had on my life is something I will carry with me for the rest of it.

I am grateful for his guidance, his example, and the chance to share his story with you all.

In this interview, we hear from Nicole Engbrecht with Lennar Homes.

Nicole is one of those people who brings genuine professionalism and heart to everything she does. Real estate is an industry that moves fast and can easily become transactional, but Nicole operates differently. She puts people first, takes the time to truly understand what her clients need, and makes sure they feel supported through what is often one of the biggest and most stressful decisions of their lives. That kind of intentionality is what separates a good agent from a great one.

What stands out most to me about Nicole is her work ethic and the way she carries herself. She is knowledgeable, dependable, and she leads with integrity in everything she does. She does not cut corners and she does not just chase the next deal. She builds real relationships and earns trust the right way, through consistency and genuine care for the people she serves.

Those are exactly the kinds of people I want to surround myself with and align my name with. In business, your network and your reputation are everything, and knowing professionals like Nicole, people who do things the right way, makes me better by association. She is someone I am proud to know, proud to recommend, and proud to have in my corner.

I am grateful for the chance to connect with Nicole and to share her perspective with you all.

In this interview, we hear from Mary Khuen with Edina Realty.

I met Mary about a year and a half ago baking cookies for an organization I was a part of. I was friends with her eldest granddaughter, and that connection turned into one of the most meaningful relationships I have made. Back then, Syverson Pressure Washing was just an idea, and Mary has been in my corner since day one.

Mary is one of the sweetest and most caring people you will ever meet, and she goes the extra mile for her clients every single time. But what stands out most to me is how she shows up for the people in her life. Before I ever started this business, Mary believed in me. She told me I was going to go far and do amazing things, and she did not just say it. She backed it up.

She introduced me to her groups, helped me get my foot in the door, and opened up networking opportunities that genuinely helped me get this business off the ground. People like Mary are vital when you are starting out, and I will never forget the role she played in helping me build what I have today.

I am grateful for her belief in me, her friendship, and the chance to sit down and share her story with you all.

Last time was such a vibe we had to bring it back ❤️🎶

Next Thursday we’re running back the 90s Party at PAR365 — the music, the energy, the memories, all of it. The kind of night where everybody knows the words, strangers become friends, and nobody wants to leave when the lights come on.

If you missed the last one, don’t miss this one.
And if you were there… you already know.

Classic R&B • Hip-Hop • Feel Good Vibes
Next Thursday at @par365golf ✨

In this interview, we meet with Joanna Peterson with Athena Realty. I first met Jo at Wildwood Wednesdays when I was first starting my business, and from the beginning we instantly clicked. Over time, that business connection turned into a really strong friendship.

Jo is honestly one of the sweetest and most caring people I know. We’ve shared countless laughs, random conversations, inside jokes, and moments together over the years, and she’s become someone I genuinely appreciate having in my life. She has this way of making people feel comfortable and welcomed around her, and that’s something that naturally draws people in.

She’s also the kind of person who will always support and encourage the people around her. Whether it’s business, life, or just checking in to see how you’re doing, she’s always been genuine and consistent. In a world where a lot of relationships stay surface level, Jo is someone who truly values connection and relationships.

She’s an amazing mother as well, and I truly believe that carries over into the way she works with her clients. You can tell she genuinely cares about people and treats every client with patience, compassion, and attention to detail. She doesn’t just try to “sell homes,” she really wants what’s best for the people she works with.

I’m really grateful our paths crossed when they did. It was great getting the opportunity to sit down with her!

In this interview, we hear from April Paul with American Family Insurance April Paul Agency. I’ve known April since I was a kid, so being able to sit down and have this conversation was really special to me.

April is one of the sweetest and most caring people you’ll meet. She genuinely cares about the people around her and always takes the time to make others feel welcomed and valued. That kindness carries directly into the way she works with her clients as well. You can tell she’s passionate about helping people and making sure they feel taken care of, not just treated like another policy number.

She’s someone who has always carried herself with professionalism, compassion, and integrity, and that’s a big reason why so many people trust her. It was great getting the chance to reconnect, hear her perspective.

In this interview, we hear from Sydney Ellefson Williams with Sydney Ellefson Realtor. Sydney & I have known each other for a while she’s my cousin and we just recently got reacquainted. Sydney really cares about the people around her, and you can feel that in the way she carries herself and how she shows up for others.

She’s genuine, kind, and someone who brings a positive energy into any room she’s in. It’s not forced it’s just who she is. She takes the time to listen, to understand, and to be present, which is something that’s hard to come by.

Getting the chance to reconnect with her and sit down for this conversation meant a lot to me. It’s always a good feeling being able to surround yourself with people who are real, grounded, and lead with intention and Sydney is definitely one of those people.

She has a strong perspective on life, and you can tell she’s been through things that have shaped her into who she is today. There’s a level of maturity and self awareness about her that stands out, and it shows in how she communicates and connects with others.

I’m grateful we were able to reconnect, and even more grateful to be able to share her story and her perspective with you all.

In this clip, you’ll hear from an amazing friend of mine, Zoe Bierman, owner of Bmagical Moments.

I met Zoe through our networking group, SBRG, when she originally reached out for help with her social media content. Since then, that connection has grown into a genuine friendship, and I’ve had the chance to really see the level of care and passion she brings to everything she does.

Zoe is one of the most caring and kind people I know. She truly takes the time to understand the people she works with, making sure they feel comfortable, valued, and confident throughout the entire process. That energy carries into her work it’s not just about photos, it’s about creating an experience and capturing moments that actually mean something.

She treats every client with respect, patience, and attention to detail, and you can see that intention in every shot she delivers. It’s what sets her apart.

I’ve seen firsthand how much she pours into her work, and it shows in the final result every single time.

If you’re looking for someone who’s not only talented, but genuinely cares about you and your experience, I highly recommend Zoe with Bmagical Moments.

In this interview, I sit down with one of my closest friends someone I truly consider a brother De’Angilo Funches with Country Financial, also known as The Funny Agent - De’Angilo Funches. I’ve known him for a few years now, going back to when I was in construction sales. He originally reached out after seeing my marketing and videos, wanting to collaborate and get my perspective on how he could elevate his own content. From the start, that showed me the kind of person he is always looking to grow, improve, and think outside the box.

What really stands out, though, is how long he’s been in my corner. D’Angelo has been there before Syverson Pressure Washing was even a real business back when it was just an idea on paper, when I was handing out flyers instead of business cards, trying to figure everything out as I went. He’s seen the early stages, the uncertainty, the growth, and everything in between. Through all of it, he’s never wavered in his support or belief in me.

That kind of consistency is rare. A lot of people support you once things start going well but D’Angelo was there before any of that, when it was just a vision. He’s always been someone I could bounce ideas off of, someone who genuinely wants to see me win, and someone who holds a high standard for himself and the people around him.

Beyond our friendship, he’s also exceptional at what he does. D’Angelo truly cares about people not just friends and family, but his clients as well. He takes pride in helping others protect what matters most, and you can see that in the way he carries himself and the relationships he builds. It’s not transactional for him it’s personal.

He’s easily one of the best insurance agents I know, but more importantly, he’s a solid, dependable person. I’m grateful to have someone like him in my corner, and I’m excited for you all to hear his story, his mindset, and the way he approaches both business and life.

This won’t be possible without the amazing talent of Terry Raper of Black Gift Media LLC

In this video, we’re sitting down with Alli Vaith from Edina Realty. I first met Alli through our mutual friend Tim Nela, and from the very beginning, she stood out to me.

She had reached out and asked if I’d be willing to teach martial arts for an hour at her son’s birthday party for a group of kids. Even in something as simple as that, you could see the kind of person she is thoughtful, intentional, and someone who genuinely cares about creating a good experience for the people around her.

Alli is truly compassionate and caring, not just when it comes to her clients, but in the way she carries herself with everyone. She has a very genuine heart, and you can tell she truly wants the best for people. That kind of care and character naturally carries over into her work as a Realtor, and it’s a big part of what makes her so trusted in the community.

People like Alli make a real difference. They don’t just do business, they build relationships, show up for others, and leave a lasting impact.
