Laura Ericson, my podcast guest today, used to be the power behind the thrown of GowerCrowd, helping me manage just about everything we did. But Laura had a dream and her dream was to be her own boss and to travel the world for a living. So one day, she jumped ship and went full time to build her group travel business so she could live the life she wanted; make a living travelling the world, and being in charge of her own fate while doing what she loved the most.
Today's conversation is a celebration of Laura's tenacity, dedication, and courage to pursue what she wants in life and as an example to all that taking a few risks, while uncomfortable at first, can change your life for the better. Check out this podcast for an inspirational journey that will transport you into the New Year with the confidence that, if you put your mind to it, anything is possible.
Every year at Thanksgiving for the last 15+ years, my in-laws have landed an amazing smoked turkey onto the festive table and this year I decided to ask the man himself, Sam Greenberg, Chief Turkey Officer at Greenberg Smoked Turkey, to tell me his story.

I met David Mandel, this week's podcast guest, Managing Partner of Emerging Ventures, on LinkedIn when I saw a post of his calling for an Investor Relations partner.

Little did I realize how accomplished an investor he is, and how experienced in seed and angel investing and in today's podcast, you're going to learn just how closely related raising money for commercial real estate syndications is to the world of venture capital. Oh, and if he's not already found someone, at time of recording, David was looking for an Investor Relations partner so sharpen your resume and give him a call!
