Dark and Hard Moments Are Your Blessings | Rei Vardi | Hilary Burns | S7EP14

Betrayal. Disappointment. Terrible timing. When life knocks you down, what do you do? Do you quit? Get even? Or do you let it make you stronger?Entrepreneur Rei Vardi chose a different path. When people he trusted betrayed him, he decided that what was happening to him was actually happening for him. That shift in perspective transformed not only his life but also his business.Rei's entrepreneurial journey began in an unexpected way while he was still in college. After taking over the payments on his father's Tesla Model S, he needed a way to cover the $1,000 monthly payment. His solution? Rent out the car. What followed was a series of disasters—from damaged vehicles to middle-of-the-night customer calls and even one car being used in a bank robbery. But instead of giving up, Rei recognized a problem begging to be solved.That experience became the foundation for Eon, an innovative electric vehicle rental company that now operates thousands of vehicles across dozens of U.S. cities—all built without outside investment.We also dive into Rei's fascinating journey growing up in Israel, his decision not to enter the military, his Alzheimer's research at Mass General, and the mindset that helped him persevere through life's darkest moments.If you've ever wondered whether your biggest setbacks might actually be preparing you for your greatest success, this conversation will inspire you to see your own challenges in a completely new light.Thank you, Rei, for your humanity, perseverance, vulnerability, and the powerful reminder that our hardest moments often become our greatest blessings.For more information, please visit:https://www.eonrides.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/reivardi/_______________________________________Hilary's Website: https://www.gettingrealwithhilary.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GettingRealWithHilary Spotify: https://shorturl.at/pQY68 iTunes: https://shorturl.at/qyTZ3 BBS Radio: https://bbsradio.com/thegettingrealwithhilaryshowE360tv: bit.ly/TGRWHS#HilaryBurns #GettingRealWithHilary #TheGettingRealWithHilaryShow #ReiVardi #Entrepreneurship #Startup #StartupFounder #BusinessSuccess #Resilience #Perseverance #Mindset #GrowthMindset #Leadership #Innovation #ElectricVehicles #EV #Tesla #CarSharing #Eon #EonRides #ElectricCars #BusinessPodcast #EntrepreneurLife #FounderStory #SuccessStory #StartupJourney #Bootstrap #Bootstrapping #TechStartup #SiliconValley #Investing #VentureCapital #Fundraising #Trust #Betrayal #FailureToSuccess #PersonalGrowth #Motivation #Inspiration #OvercomingChallenges #BusinessGrowth #Boston #BiomedicalEngineering #AlzheimersResearch #Research #Israel #MassGeneral #BostonUniversity #Visionary #BusinessLeadership

It Came To You For a Reason | Brownell Landrum | Hilary Burns | S7EP10

Have you ever thought much about wishing? Well, Brownell Landrum has. She wrote a book called the Art and Science of Wishing. She was fascinated by wishes and started studying them.  She found 70 scientists who have addressed wishing. She talks about "cosmic wishing" and the differences of our three selves.   Brownell originally worked in  advertising and marketing but was drawn to the mystical "woo-woo" stuff during the 80's when Shirley Maclaine had her show. She brought the spiritual side to storytelling and other subjects that she became fascinated with. Her first book, "Five Reasons why Bad things Happen" came from a difficult time in her life when she started questioning things.   We covered many topics: hospice, dying, savoring life, having more fun, rebellion, science, and of course, wishing. Join us for a fascinating conversation. Brownell Landrum is a storyteller, TEDx speaker, inventor, and change catalyst with an MBA from Georgia State University. She's the author of over a dozen books, including The Art & Science of Wishing and the upcoming The Art & Science of Wishing at Work. She got curious about the sciences involved in wishing while writing a novel entitled A Love Story to The Universe. Brownell combines her corporate and entrepreneurial background and logical, business-oriented skills with a compelling storytelling style. The motto for her stories is “Lose yourself in the fiction… Find yourself in the truth.” Know more about Brownell Landrum:https://brownelllandrum.com/ [https://brownelllandrum.com/] https://www.facebook.com/brownell.landrum.author [https://www.facebook.com/brownell.landrum.author] https://www.instagram.com/brownelllandrum/ [https://www.instagram.com/brownelllandrum/] https://www.tiktok.com/@brownell.landrum [https://www.tiktok.com/@brownell.landrum] https://www.linkedin.com/in/brownelllandrum/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/brownelllandrum/] https://cosmicwishexperiment.com/ [https://cosmicwishexperiment.com/]  https://www.youtube.com/@brownell.landrum [https://www.youtube.com/@brownell.landrum] https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B00JFHZSGA [https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B00JFHZSGA] _______________________________________ Hilary's Website: https://www.gettingrealwithhilary.com/ [https://www.gettingrealwithhilary.com/] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GettingRealWithHilary  Spotify: https://shorturl.at/pQY68  iTunes: https://shorturl.at/qyTZ3  BBS Radio: https://bbsradio.com/thegettingrealwithhilaryshow [https://bbsradio.com/thegettingrealwithhilaryshow] E360tv: bit.ly/TGRWHS [http://bit.ly/TGRWHS] #HilaryBurns #GettingRealWithHilary #TheGettingRealWithHilaryShow #BrownellLandrum #TheArtAndScienceOfWishing #Manifestation #SpiritualGrowth #Consciousness #MindsetShift #PersonalTransformation #SelfDiscovery #PositiveThinking #Neuroplasticity #LawOfAttraction #Intuition #SoulPurpose #MindBodySpirit #Gratitude #InnerPeace #PurposeDrivenLife #SpiritualAwakening #TEDxSpeaker #Storytelling #AuthorLife #ConsciousLiving #EnergyAndVibration #PersonalGrowth #Mysticism #TransformYourLife #SpiritualPodcast
