The Decision That Took Regina Huber Across the World

In this powerful episode of the ASQ Podcast, Dr. Jessie sits down with Regina Huber — a global entrepreneur and leadership coach whose journey from a shy farm girl in Germany to building businesses across continents challenges what it means to live freely and fully. Born in a small village in Bavaria, Regina grew up in a traditional environment. Quiet. Shy. Disconnected from her own voice. From the outside, her childhood was simple and happy. Inside… She struggled to express herself. As a teenager, that feeling deepened. Not fitting in. Not speaking up. Not feeling like she belonged. But something else was always there— Curiosity. Adventure. A pull toward something bigger. So she made a choice. To step outside everything she knew. What followed was a life few people ever experience: Living and working across Germany, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Argentina, and the U.S. Building businesses from the ground up Navigating different cultures, languages, and identities But it wasn’t all freedom and excitement. There were challenges: • Loneliness while constantly starting over • Failed relationships and emotional disconnect • Corrupt systems and business setbacks • A major turning point after a failed venture in Brazil That moment forced a shift. Not just in location— But in identity. Regina had to ask: 1. How do I turn all of this into something meaningful? 2. That question led to the creation of her work today— 3. Helping leaders reconnect with their purpose, confidence, and personal power. This episode explores: • How early identity shapes confidence and self-expression • The hidden cost of constantly starting over • Why freedom comes with both loneliness and growth • Turning life experience into purpose-driven work • What it really means to lead with authenticity Today, Regina helps leaders and entrepreneurs step into their unique brilliance, lead with clarity, and create lives aligned with who they truly are. Because fulfillment doesn’t come from staying safe… It comes from stepping into who you’re meant to become.

She Got Fired at 46 — It Changed Everything

In this powerful and deeply inspiring episode of the ASQ Podcast, Dr. Jessie and Omar sit down with Merry Korn — entrepreneur, author, and social impact leader — whose journey from fear and uncertainty to building a purpose-driven company challenges how we define failure, purpose, and success. Merry’s story begins long before business. It begins with survival. As the daughter of Holocaust survivors, she grew up surrounded by stories of courage, resilience, and life-or-death decisions. That legacy stayed with her. But her own path wasn’t clear. For decades, she felt stuck— torn between business and purpose… wanting to make an impact, but not knowing how. Until everything changed. At 46 years old — a single mother with two daughters — she was fired. No plan. No income. No certainty. Just fear… and silence. And in that silence — she asked for help. What followed was a moment she couldn’t ignore: A quiet answer. A direction she didn’t understand… but chose to trust anyway. That decision led to something bigger. A company that would go on to employ over 1,300 people across 30 states — creating opportunities for those facing the greatest barriers to employment. This episode explores: • What happens when everything falls apart • The power of faith, intuition, and taking the next step • Why you don’t need all the answers to begin • How purpose can be built—not just found • Turning adversity into meaningful, lasting impact Today, Merry helps others navigate uncertainty, discover their purpose, and take action—even when the path isn’t clear. Because sometimes… The worst moment in your life becomes the beginning of everything.

I Was ‘Successful’… Until My Husband Said It Was Killing Me

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of the ASQ Podcast, Dr. Jessie sits down with Caroline Sangal — scientist turned career strategist — whose journey from high-achieving perfectionist to authentic success creator challenges everything we think success is supposed to look like. Raised in a family that valued education, discipline, and achievement, Caroline learned early on how to win. Do your best. Be the best. Earn the recognition. That mindset carried her far… Valedictorian. PhD. Top performer. But behind the accolades, something wasn’t right. She opens up about: • Growing up driven by achievement and competition • Learning to ignore emotions while chasing success • Building a career that looked perfect on paper • Constantly becoming who others needed her to be Everything changed when life forced her to stop. Despite her success, her health was declining… Her stress was overwhelming… And the life she built no longer felt like hers. Then came the moment that shifted everything: A conversation with her husband that made her realize — this path wasn’t just unfulfilling… It was unsustainable. So she made a different choice. To stop performing… And start reconnecting. Caroline stepped away from the version of success she had been chasing and began rebuilding her life from the inside out. This episode explores: • Why success without alignment leads to burnout • The hidden cost of ignoring your true self • How high achievers lose their identity • What it takes to redefine success on your own terms Over time, her work evolved into helping others do the same — guiding people to align their careers with who they truly are, not who they think they should be. Today, she helps individuals move from outward success to inner fulfillment using a framework built on self-awareness, alignment, and intentional growth. This episode is for anyone who: • Feels successful… but unfulfilled • Is stuck in a career that no longer fits • Struggles with burnout or identity loss • Is ready to redefine success on their own terms Connect with Caroline Sangal: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NextSuccessMethod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NextSuccessMethod/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nextsuccessmethod LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/caroline-sangal/ Website: https://nextsuccesscareers.com/ It’s about how it feels on the inside. #ASQPodcast #Burnout #CareerGrowth #PersonalDevelopment #Authenticity #Mindset #SelfDiscovery
