Episode #299: Savitha Namuduri
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 #236: Jordan Hinsch
Jordan Hinsch — Never Jordanary (Blogger & Travel Creator) Jordan Hinsch is a native New Yorker turned Miami-based sales and business development pro who channels his “thoughtful risk-taking” into a thriving travel-and-lifestyle blog, Never Jordanary. By pairing a steady W-2 career in commercial real estate and live events with smart side hustles, Jordan shows how creators can build durable income streams without abandoning stability. A data-driven marketer, avid traveler (39 U.S. national parks and counting), photographer, and paddleboarder, Jordan built an audience with practical, list-style posts (“weekend getaways,” “best paddleboard spots”) and an authenticity that attracted brands—while staying selective about partnerships. Key Takeaways: Thoughtful risk-taking beats reckless leaps. Jordan plans moves analytically—even taking a career pause to realign—while keeping the benefits of a W-2 (income, insurance) as a strategic base. Blogs are real businesses. Listicles and evergreen guides are highly consumable and can monetize through AdSense and affiliate links—if you publish consistently. If a post ranks, hands off. Resist the urge to “improve” a winner; unnecessary edits can tank SEO. Avoid year-stamped titles that age out fast. Make time your advantage. Treat a “half-day” like 12 hours and squeeze value from your 1,440 minutes—create, learn (he’s tackling Portuguese), and still leave room to unwind. Never run out of first times. New experiences keep life, relationships, and business fresh—whether it’s a new workout, a date spot, or a bold travel itinerary.

Episode #233: Reginald Benjamin – VAST Wellness Solutions
Reginald Benjamin, VAST Wellness Solutions — W-2 Sales Pro Turned Compliant CBD Entrepreneur Reginald Benjamin is a dynamic sales leader who splits his time between a high-performing W-2 role and building VAST Wellness Solutions, his compliant hemp/CBD brand. Based in Texas, he also serves clients as a licensed real estate agent in Dallas, bringing an operator’s mindset to luxury leasing and sales. Reginald matters because he shows entrepreneurs how to validate demand, stay compliant, and scale—without abandoning the day job that funds the dream. Key Takeaways: Do the homework first. Before you buy inventory or “throw all your eggs in,” research demand, define your audience, and build a marketing plan and social presence you can actually activate. Compliance is the moat. VAST sells CBD/CBG products (topicals, tinctures, flower, vapes) and avoids psychoactive deltas/HHC. He urges buyers to check COAs and cannabinoid profiles and to skip sketchy sources without lab reports. Payments matter. Get compliant merchant processing before you scale. Square’s CBD program and hemp-friendly bank departments exist—but they’ll audit you, so keep your house in order. Real-world outcomes (his experience). After ACL reconstruction and chronic hamstring issues, Reginald says CBD/CBG—especially via vape—brings relief within minutes without the “cloudiness.” He’s also seen a client family report calmer days and improved vocabulary for their child using CBD/CBG. Play the long game. The 2018 Farm Bill opened the door for hemp; clarity is improving as universities (e.g., Texas programs) study genetics and dosing. Meanwhile, Reginald’s mantra: crush your day job, use 5–10 pm to build, and scale responsibly.
