Episode #309: Edwin Carrion
Tania Khazaal (Tanya the Herbalist), CEO of Your Life Tania Khazaal—better known as Tanya the Herbalist—is a coach, creator, and community builder helping people reclaim health, purpose, and agency. After witnessing her mother’s decline on pharmaceuticals, Tania dove into herbalism, rebuilt her own well-being, and transformed a tea side-hustle into a seven-figure, mission-driven brand. Today, through CEO of Your Life and her She’s Empowered community, she champions faith, emotional resilience, and practical daily habits that create lasting change. In this episode, Tania shares how she shifted from corporate life and basement tea packing to digital products, courses, and coaching—while keeping her compass set on faith, family, and service. Her framework centers on four pillars (inner world/spirituality, lifestyle & well-being, relationships, and vision/legacy) and a deceptively simple cadence: 18 minutes a day. Top Takeaways From crisis to calling: Her mother’s health battle sparked a deep dive into herbalism and holistic healing, leading to a purpose-led business. Product → platform: Moving from physical teas to ebooks, funnels, and courses unlocked scale and financial freedom. Four-pillar operating system: Inner world (faith), health, relationships, and vision—progress across all four creates durable happiness. Relationships matter: She spotlights estrangement as a “silent epidemic” and teaches emotional regulation over cut-off culture. 18 minutes a day: Small, daily commitments compound to ~100 hours/year—enough to change your health, business, and life.

Episode #225: Mike Bacile – The Daily Java
Mike Bacile, The Daily Java & King’s Coffee Company — How “Failing Fast” Built a Coffee Empire Mike Bacile is a Texas-born serial entrepreneur and the CEO behind The Daily Java (wholesale café solutions) and King’s Coffee Company (in-house specialty roasting). Since 1995, he’s helped churches and independent cafés launch and scale with a practical “franchise-like” system—without the franchise fees. From early missteps to landing national equipment deals, Mike’s story is a masterclass in choosing the right opportunities and executing with consistency. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJRzvC8PIYM 5 Key Takeaways from this Episode: Failure ≠ Final: Mike treats failure as feedback—“the wrong bus” to step off—so you can board the one that gets you where you want to go. Differentiate or disappear: His coupon-book venture won by becoming the biggest at SMU, UNT, TCU, and UT Arlington—proof that a clear differentiator beats “me too” every time. Quality over callbacks: Early on, cheap espresso machines created costly service headaches; switching to top-tier equipment led to a 13-year run supplying Maggiano’s, Macaroni Grill, and Corner Bakery nationwide. A franchise feel—without the franchise: The Daily Java pairs equipment packages with a “25 Steps to Success” program, install, and training—especially powerful for church cafés and high-throughput layouts. Build tribe, know your numbers: After crossing seven figures, joining Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) gave Mike accountability, global peers, and the push to price correctly—crucial in shifting markets.
