Ep. 53 - Know Your Value w/Jen Fontanilla

In this episode, Joe sits down with Jen Fontanilla, a TEDx speaker, Certified Money Coach, creative business strategist, and award-winning author of The Creative Code, for a powerful conversation on money mindset, pricing, and self-worth. Jen shares her unique journey from graphic design to financial services to coaching, and how those experiences shaped her approach to helping others understand their value. Together, they explore why so many people undervalue themselves, how early money stories influence decision-making, and why discounting yourself often starts long before any negotiation begins. The conversation also dives into leadership, negotiation, faith, forgiveness, and the importance of operating from confidence rather than desperation. Listeners will gain practical insight into how pricing reflects self-worth and why creating a fair exchange of value leads to better outcomes for both individuals and organizations. This episode also sets the stage for a future conversation on money and relationships, where Joe and Jen will go deeper into how financial beliefs shape partnerships and long-term decisions.

Ep. 52 - Breaking Down Walls w/Dr. Summer Watson

In this episode, Joe sits down with Dr. Summer Watson—a doctor of psychology, high-performance coach, and founder of KORE Women, a platform dedicated to empowering women through mentorship, leadership development, and meaningful connection. They explore personality and how it shapes leadership—where it serves and where it can quietly become a limitation. The conversation digs into breaking down the walls leaders build, often without realizing it, and how those barriers impact teams and organizational culture. Joe and Dr. Watson also address the danger of ego in leadership—how it clouds judgment, hinders growth, and creates distance between leaders and those they serve.

Ep. 51 - Culture on Purpose w/Keegan Evans

In this episode, Joe sits down with Keegan Evans, a former Marine Corps officer and helicopter pilot turned executive coach and organizational strategist. Through Euda.io, Keegan helps organizations build cultures that are ready to adapt, grow, and integrate AI as a teammate rather than just another tool. Together, they explore the connection between culture and performance, the critical skills leaders and teams need in today’s era of rapid change, and why organizations must understand the purpose and meaning behind the data they collect instead of simply measuring for the sake of measuring. They also challenge common leadership tropes and discuss what authentic leadership looks like when complexity is high and clarity is limited.
