Ep. 4: The Doughnut Project

Leslie Polizzotto, along with her partner Troy Neal, started the uber-popular The Doughnut Project in downtown NYC just a few years ago by taking the leap and following their dreams. They used creativity in their doughnut recipes and in their interior design to create an experience you won’t get at any other standard doughnut shop. Listen to their story and the excellent advice for entrepreneurs that she shared with me. Take a listen and comment below to let us know what you think! Take the leap!

Ep. 3: Interview with Ali Farahnakian

Ali Farahnakian, veteran comedian and caretaker of The Peoples Improv Theater (The Pit) sits down with me to discuss how rejection can often times be blessings in disguise. Ali was a writer on SNL and when he was let go after a short run due to budget cuts, he used that as a springboard to bigger things. Rejection can either be crippling or fuel for great things. Ali says it’s one thing to overcome fears, but it’s even better to ‘follow’ the fear, advice he got from Del Close. Take a listen and let us know what you think! Follow the fear!
