Host Robin McCoy is the spotlight for this episode, interviewed by OBBM Network's Susan Hamilton, and they're talking about Robin's back story.

Starting out in Minnesota, then moving to New Hampshire, Tennessee, and California - Robin ended up in Dallas. Social media helped her stay connected to her past relationships, and she became a master of connecting her 'tribe' to each other! Now she showcases the people she uses for her life in business every day through this podcast.

What is Robin most proud of? After talking with her business coach, she realized she had been making excuses for not doing what she really wanted to do. Check out her amazing story of walking the Camino De Santiago in Spain, and what it brought out of her. Over two weeks, she walked 100 kilometers of the 30-day journey, injured herself, became disconnected from her group in a foreign land.

The moral of the story is 'take one step at a time into your future.' Stop worrying about stuff, just move forward!

In this episode, I speak with Ashley Rucks about being an entrepreneur at 22 years old without funding from a loan. Ashley is the proprietor of Prickly Boba in Waxahachie, TX. She worked the "typical" jobs growing up and decided fairly early on that she didn't want to work for someone else. This drove her to go into business for herself. She's slowly letting herself to let go a little more of being in complete control and allowing her employees to work more on their own without her around.

Her business started in with a camper she found listed on a local seller site, and her idea took off. She bought the camper the same day she went to look at it and had so much fun designing the logo and learning day-by-day what it means to own her own business. In the beginning she had a full 9-to-5 job and worked the camper on weekends on top of that. Today she has a storefront in downtown Waxahachie, about 30 minutes south of the DFW metroplex.

Prickly Boba is a one stop shop for all your drink needs! They serve boba tea, fruit infused lemonades & tea, frozen drink, iced coffee, energy drinks and more! They also serve Açaí bowls topped with fresh fruit. Prickly Boba also offers their space out for party rentals!

“Just go for it. You have nothing to lose if you go for it, but you’ll always wonder what would have happened if you didn’t go for it. Just start where you can and do your best. Believe in yourself and your product and other people will believe in it.”

Musician, songwriter, and actor Eric Oberto talks with Host Robin McCoy about his journey through success, loss, and innovation.

Eric made his first thunderous splash into the entertainment industry as the singer/songwriter/front man of the popular synth-core band Tungsten Coil.

In 2015 he was diagnosed with Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss in his right ear. Being a play-by-ear musician and songwriter, when ear malfunctioned - his ability to clearly paint musical pictures through synesthesia were severely impaired (and almost lost).

Over the next few years, he made multiple unsuccessful attempts to overcome his disability and feared that his songwriting days were over. He then became obsessed with finding a solution. In 2020 he found a path to create music using his one good ear and fill in the gaps of the broken ear by making use of computer software tools These tools allow him to visually identify frequencies that he can no longer hear, and he is now able to visually see the stereo field where sounds reside. He also found a device that allows him to independently EQ the left and right sides of his headphones. This device gives him the ability to boost all the lost hearing frequencies in the right ear to fill in the missing gaps.

These amazing tools do not make him whole again, but they do provide a new path forward to pursue his musical dreams. Now, against all odds, Eric is writing the best music of his career.

Top Real Estate Producer and Author Char Klisares joins Host Robin McCoy to talk about the CKRETFoundation, a domestic violence nonprofit. After being on top of her game for 5 years, Char found herself on a date that turned into a dangerous relationship under 30 days. The following 60 days were a nightmare of being stalked and threatened, and went as far as a malicious criminal charge that brought out the media circus that eventually put her out of business.

This story is so bizarre you will need to hear it twice! Eventually the charges were dropped, but the damage required extensive rebuilding of her business. Her experience helped her see the holes in the system that she could work to solve. The CKRETFoundation became the purpose that fuels her daily passion to make a difference helping others navigate scary and intimidating circumstances surrounding domestic violence and stalking.

"The truth will not set you free, you need to hire an attorney." ~ Char Klisares. Find Char on Facebook at https://Facebook.com/ckretfoundation, and search hashtags #janego #johngo
