What if the key to closing more sales isn’t being slick, but being curious?

Today’s guest, Stela Roznovan, breaks down why most people suck at sales and how to fix it through curiosity. Stela went from being an immigrant with zero English knowledge to leading a multi-million-dollar insurance agency in the U.S., and she did it by mastering the mindset most entrepreneurs ignore. A former concert pianist and Taekwondo black belt, she reveals how discipline, curiosity, and obsession with practice shaped her into a high-performing business leader.

We dig into the psychology of money, the immigrant hustle, why most sales conversations fall flat, and how sales isn’t about pitching, but about listening, storytelling, and crafting connection. Plus, Stela shares her 3-part framework for sales success and the exact mindset shift that helped her close deals with confidence.

If you’re tired of pushing harder and still not seeing results, this episode will show you what most are missing.
