I knew Danny as a teenage drummer. Danny played drums for Checkmate and Pissed On. Pissed On went on to tour Europe in the 90's. I bet you didn't know that about Danny.

Danny Kavaldo is a personal trainer who has written a total of 8 books on fitness. You may know him from his videos, seminars or published stories you'll find on him as well.

This was an intimate interview that digs deep into Danny's journey from Musician, to Event Planner to Personal Trainer. 

"MAKE VISIBLE THE INVISIBLE" is a movement that seeks to raise awareness about the importance of cultivating mental health and promoting psychological care as a preventive method in the face of the suicide crisis that is being experienced internationally. Through STIGMA-FREE conversations and educational dynamics, "MAKE VISIBLE THE INVISIBLE" aims to create safe spaces for children, adolescents and adults who have been personally affected by this public health problem, to share their experiences, build a community of support, and a network of information accessible to all.

OUR STORY

“MAKE VISIBLE THE INVISIBLE” was born after its founder, Valentina Sanchez Trivella, lost her mother and her grandmother due to suicide when she was only 16 years old. After experiencing up close the heartbreaking consequences caused by the stigma that still exists, the lack of available resources and the misinformation related to mental health disorders, Valentina makes the decision to share her story publicly for the first time, hoping that it would serve as an example to demonstrate the urgent change that as a society we must create in terms of our understanding and management of mental health. The overwhelming response she received after talking about her experience made clear the long journey and hard work that was ahead of her. From that moment on, Valentina began her journey as a mental health ambassador, becoming a pioneer of the movement in the United States and Venezuela.

A true American success story. Born in Venezuela and brought to Superior Wisconsin at 18 years old to get his Associates Degree, Pedro Trivella shares his amazing journey.

An immigrant mindset of the American Dream has shaped Pedro's life that has touched the lives of hundreds of children.

It was truly a pleasure to have the opportunity to interview such a dynamic individual who is full of life.

Spending time with Rita and learning about Foster Care was an amazing story about faith and love. I am certain anyone listening has a lot of questions about fostering. A lot of those questions were answered.

Rita is running for Ms. Woman International and her platform is Foster Care. Her passion for humanity is heartwarming. She is a burst of energy and has a zest for life. There were a lot of life lessons on this episode.

I met Steven at twelve years old, although I think he was ten, either way he would become one of the greatest musicians I would ever teach. From Brooklyn, to Staten Island and landing in Northern New Jersey, Steven has played guitar for over 30 years and now plays a dozen shows a month!

Steven is an amazing dad, husband and friend. I asked him to be on Rock City Central to share his story and his Journey. While he doesn't do music full-time, he will one day.

When you read all of Buddy's reviews at the Handsome Man Barbershop in Freehold New Jersey, you can't help but wonder what he is doing to get him over (100) 5 STAR Reviews!

A trip to the Handsome Man Barbershop immediately reveals what separates him from the rest. Whether it's the warm welcome, the ultra modern space or being treated like a King about to sit on a throne, it's the whole experience.

Join me in this wonderful conversation between 2 entrepreneurs who share the same landlord!

I met Corey Schwitz in January 2021. Coincidentally his dad called me to wish me a Merry Christmas and we just started talking about Corey. Corey, it turns out was running a new company he started call SkyDogOps (a great name and a great story behind the name). SkyDogOps specializes in Salesforce integrations for financial institutions. 

It's no surprise how successful Corey is. He comes from an amazing family. I enjoyed our conversation that was pushed in so many directions!

When you Google Susan Nardone you will find that there are two Susan Nardone's, both attorneys and both from New Jersey. I was lucky enough to get the Susan Nardone who is Ms. International Elite which I just learned there was an 'Elite' Category.

Susan talks about her life as an attorney, a mediator for the New Jersey Department of Education as well as her quest to fly...yes Susan is on her way to becoming a pilot! 

I had the honor of interviewing the winner of the Miss International Pageant, Miss Megan Vladik. Megan flew in from Chicago to do this interview and it was certainly worth the wait.

Megan's platform is Mental Health Awareness and it could not have come at a better time; during COVID-19.
