Keval Shah | CEO of SEO
This week’s guest is Keval Shah who is an expert on all things Search Engine Optimization, or SEO for short. Keval is a true entrepreneur with a really interesting story. He went from building websites and blogs just for fun to learning everything he needed to know about SEO to start doing it for clients on the side.
After dropping out of college and working at what seemed like a great job at the time at an SEO Agency, Keval realized the 9-5 just was not for him and quit to create his own agency. He is now running an extremely successful business, bringing in well over 40,000 USD per month - what he was making in a year before!
We had an incredible podcast talking about SEO, mindset, investing in yourself, when to take the entrepreneurship leap, and so much more! This is just the beginning for my friend Keval, so make sure to follow him on Twitter @SEOKeval to see for yourself.

Lina Alvarez | Pivoting By Design
This week’s guest is Lina Alvarez. Lina is one of the most interesting and talented people I’ve met as she fully embodies what it means to taste and try different things and pivot when necessary. She currently holds a position at Export Development Canada working in the Women Trade Advisory space.
But you see, that’s just one of her hustles. Lina's curiosity for the world of entrepreneurship led her to the health and wellness space and founding her own company “The Barre Jar", where she teaches a unique form of exercise called Barre and has grown a massive and engaged community. Her interest for all these different pursuits has now led to her obsession with the space of Design and Strategic Thinking, where she will be pursuing a masters degree this coming fall.

Mark Metry | Screw Being Shy
This week’s guest is Mark Metry, a dude who straight up makes me feel lazy. Mark went from dealing with severe social anxiety and reaching a dark point where he contemplated ending his life to overcoming that same social anxiety and writing a book called “Screw being Shy.” He also founded a company called VU dream, hosts a global top 100 podcast called Humans 2.0, is a global speaker, and is on an Amazon Prime DocUseries “The Social Movement.”
If that wasn’t enough, he’s also a podcast strategist, has his own LinkedIn consulting course, and has many projects in the works - and has accomplished all this at the age of 22! More important than all these titles though, Mark gives a voice to those who don’t have one. It was enlightening getting to chat with him about overcoming social anxiety and how it’s one of the deadliest mental health disorders. We also talked about the connection between your gut microbiome and how what you eat directly affects how you feel. Finally, we also discussed his podcasting journey and tips for people in the space.

Andrew Tate | The Grand-Master Of All Trades
This week's guest is Andrew Tate, an American-British 4x World Champion kickboxer, mixed-martial artist, influencer, chess-enthusiast and millionaire businessman.When Andrew is not busy driving exotic supercars and sleeping with supermodels around the world, he’s growing his brand online, starting and running multiple business ventures including cam companies and casinos, and selling self-improvement courses.
Andrew is a controversial figure. As an avid conspiracy theorist, content-creator and commentator, a large % of people will not agree with his polarizing views. I’m going to come out and say that if you suffer from mental health issues this podcast episode may trigger you as we discuss some controversial views. Nevertheless, I learned a lot from Andrew’s perspective and I really enjoyed chatting with him about navigating his reputation on the internet.

Moving out of my parents basement | Journey To Success
Moving out from your parents home can be a big step in becoming an "adult."
For me, it represented the next chapter in my life in terms of independence, freedom, and responsibility.
It has easily been one of the best decisions I've ever made as I've experienced transformative personal growth since taking this step nearly two years ago.
On this episode of Journey to Success, I share with you my story of how exactly I made this a reality.
