Ep. 189 - Create Your Vision (w. Andy Pho)

50m · Awaken The Awesome · 31 Jan 15:00

I don't know a thing about the Tattoo culture. 

I have personally teased my brain with the idea of getting one but one thing I  do know about the artists who have truly dedicated their life’s journey to specializing in this very intimate form of art, it’s a beautiful thing to behold.

I came across Andy Pho(@andypho)’s body of work and engaging personality as randomly as an Instagram Reel will allow for that quick 7-second sound bite. 

I could have easily scrolled past it but there was something so truthful and empowering about Andy’s message that I had to get to know about the individual.

Purely from a layman's perspective, when you get to see Andy's impressive work, there is no denying why he is such a well respected artist, known all around the tattoo community.

As an illustrious tattooer, Andy spent most of his life creating art in New York and Las Vegas and has now settled in Texas with the creation of Upside Tattoo, a new vision for a tattoo environment, where he performs custom tattoo work and mentors tattooers of all different styles and experience levels. 

His patience and a do or die mentality has accelerated him as a tattooer, building a reputation upon respect and technique within the community. 

He is continuously pushing the limits of his work, manifesting new concepts into reality. 

For Andy, the art of tattooing is not a job - it is his life’s calling as it’s something he genuinely lives and breathes.

This is not a conversation about the best needle cartridges to use or ink brands he recommends.

What motivated me to have Andy on the show is his clear sense purpose, self awareness and humility despite his unquestionable talent.

Here is a guy who does not sit on his laurels but willingly challenges himself mentally, physically and spiritually in order to consistently fuel his creativity as well as personal growth.

On this episode, Andy shares his insights on self-mastery, the willingness to serve, keeping a positive outlook, staying disciplined...and so much more.

You can connect with Andy via Instagram : @andypho or the Upside Tattoo official website

Enjoy

Ep. 210 - On Building Wealth & Living With Confidence (w. Allegra Moet Brantly)

Allegra Moet Brantly is an entrepreneur, speaker, podcaster and founder with the kind of zeroed-in focus that never fails to inspire us always aim higher when it comes to setting goals. She remains an example of incredible drive to achieve as well as an unshakeable confidence to execute on her vision.

But don't be fooled - she didn't start out that way.

By her own admission, Allegra's time in her early 20s was spent more on climbing the corporate ladder and curating her LinkedIn profile than managing her finances.

Then, even though she was making a great salary, she was still living paycheck-to-paycheck...and she had no real savings or investments.

Not to throw in the towel, like so many do, and becoming disillusioned with the corporate world, she committed to putting in the work towards changing her ways and, slowly but surely, embarked on the painstaking and lonely overhaul of her money.

She eventually grew her net worth from -$18K to $1.1M. Not too shabby.

I love it when someone takes the lessons that life and circumstances taught them along the way and not only thrives as a result, but also chooses to generously pay it forward by sharing the wealth of knowledge acquired.

Which is why she set her sights on a simple, focused mission: to lead 1 million women to $1 million in net worth so more women can achieve financial freedom in their lifetime.

To do so, she founded Factora Wealth, an online course & community that educates and empowers women to build real wealth, together.

It was a true honor connecting with an individual with such a powerful message to share and a genuine mission to conquer. And I'm here for it.

On this episode, Allegra shares some wisdom from one of the most important people in her life, the importance of a solid financial education, our emotional relationship with money...and so much more.

You can connect with Allegra via LinkedIn, Instagram or the Factora Wealth website.

Be sure to check out and show love by listening/rating the Coffee & Coin podcast where Allegra welcomes an amazing roster of incredible and accomplished women on the same mission to empower more women towards achieving financial freedom.
