    About this Episode

    Yegor Makhiboroda escaped the collapse of the Soviet Union and arrived in America at the age of eight. He was forced to completely reinvent himself, having to learn a foreign language and integrating into Western society. He worked hard, excelled in his university, and landed a coveted and well-paying job after graduation.

    But after several years, despite the monetary success, he felt deeply unfulfilled, so he took the courageous decision to leave his job and join the Peace Corps. Yegor spent over two years living on one of the most isolated islands in the world, Vanuatu, and learning first-hand what leads to true happiness. After devouring hundreds of self-help books and realizing the pursuit of money wasn’t the key to happiness, he decided upon his return to America to get his MBA.  During his entrepreneurial classes, he decided to start his own company with a colleague, which he still runs today. He truly has an amazing balance of work/life, a huge passion for jiujitsu, health and self-development. Yegor shares some of his story, his perspectives, his immigrant mindset and his formula for a life worth living.

    Until next time, love and good vibes.

    Sean Jones: New Construction Development: Rebuilding Chicago in the “Year of the Mamba”

    Sean Jones: New Construction Development: Rebuilding Chicago in the “Year of the Mamba”

    Sean Jones has over a decade of experience in rehabbing buildings and new construction development, rebuilding the city of Chicago, block by block.

    Sean’s journey to immense success wasn’t linear; he left the corporate world and started doing rehabs and was very successful until the 2009 real estate collapse. It took several years, but he rebuilt and began mentoring others in the rehab process. Eventually, his desire to grow to bigger projects led to him starting new construction development. And today he has the incredible 2024 goal of 9 completed new construction buildings.

    We discuss how it’s possible to complete and sell a brand new 3-unit in less than 4 months.  What are the most important things to be successful in real estate development and some of the common pitfalls. And the importance of 2024 as the “Year of the Mamba.

    In Kobe’s words: "To sum up what Mamba Mentality is, it means to be able to constantly try to be the best version of yourself…a constant quest to try to be better today than you were yesterday."

    Until next time, love and good vibes.

    Dr Dave Nayak: Execution: From Physician, to Farmer, to IL Senate

    Dr Dave Nayak: Execution: From Physician, to Farmer, to IL Senate

    Dr. Dave Nayak believes community development depends on the service of its members. He has dedicated his life to “being a good neighbor” to those experiencing pain and hardship.  

    Dr. Dave is a practicing medical doctor who provides free healthcare to uninsured patients through the Strength to Love Foundation.  

    As a farmer, Dr. Dave donates his specialty crops like sweet corn and green beans grown on Nayak Farms to the food banks and pantries. 

    He is also a community activist who has passed legislation in the Illinois Congress that allows financial assistance to families for burials and funerals of children murdered by gun violence.

    After achieving so many amazing things Dave isn’t satisfied. He is looking for a bigger platform to help a larger number of people. He epitomizes “Immigrant Mentality”, so is now running for IL senate as an outsider. 

    The Overwatch Foundation uses United States Military Veterans to provide critical humanitarian response to those in need. They operate in the harshest conditions and war zones to help as many innocent people on the ground; they are currently on the ground doing incredible work in the middle east.
