  The Business Lesson That Changed How Handle Clients Forever | Redmax Events

  Jul 10, 20261 hour

  What does it take to go from local event rentals to building experiences for brands like American Express, Nike, Amazon, and major sporting events across the country?This week, I sat down with Brandon Havrilla, founder of RedMax Events, to unpack the business decisions that made that growth possible.We talked about why confidence isn't just a mindset—it's knowing your value and standing behind it. Brandon explains why entrepreneurs accidentally train bad clients, why scaling too quickly can be one of the biggest mistakes a company makes, and why building strong systems always comes before hiring more people.We also dive into why RedMax invests heavily in content instead of a traditional sales team, how COVID completely transformed the direction of the business, and the philosophy behind one of my favorite quotes from the conversation: "Business respects business."If you're an entrepreneur, creative, or business owner looking to grow without sacrificing quality, this conversation is packed with practical lessons from someone who's built a company the right way.Full episode available now. #NewYorkBusinessPodcast #BrandonHavrilla #RedMaxEvents #Entrepreneurship #BusinessGrowth #Leadership #ContentMarketing #BrandBuilding #SmallBusiness #BusinessOwner #Marketing #Systems #BusinessStrategy #CreativeBusiness #Podcast

  How to Rebuild Your Identity and Find Your Purpose | Motivating the Mindset

  Jul 6, 202648 min

  After 13 years as a music teacher in New York City, Allison Noelle Megherian walked away from the classroom to fully step into something she had already been building for years: Motivating the Mindset.Today, Allison helps high-achieving performers, teen athletes, entrepreneurs, schools, and professionals rebuild their identity, reconnect with their purpose, and get out of their own way.In this episode, we talked about what it really means to separate who you are from what you do, why so many athletes struggle when their identity is tied only to performance, and how journaling, gratitude, self-awareness, breathwork, and mindset work can completely shift the way someone moves through life.Allison also shares her journey from burnout to full-time entrepreneurship, how her TEDx talk helped spark a bigger vision, why “redirection is protection,” and why success is not just productivity — it’s fulfillment, peace, and learning to be where your feet are.This is a powerful conversation about purpose, identity, faith, resilience, and the mindset work that helps people become who they were created to be.Watch the full interview with Allison Noelle Megherian, founder of Motivating the Mindset, on The New York Business Podcast. #NewYorkBusinessPodcast #MotivatingTheMindset #AllisonNoelleMegherian #MindsetCoach #EntrepreneurStory #LongIslandBusiness #NYBusiness #TeenAthletes #AthleteMindset #PersonalDevelopment #ProfessionalDevelopment #WomenInBusiness #FounderStory #TEDxSpeaker #Journaling #SelfAwareness #IdentityWork #PurposeDriven #MindsetMatters #BusinessPodcast

  Why Senior Living Needs Better Technology | Speak2

  Jul 3, 20261h 8m

  What happens when someone moves into assisted living or independent living and suddenly loses access to the everyday choices they used to make?That question is at the heart of my conversation with Matt Smith, co-founder of Speak2.Speak2 is building a marketplace for senior housing communities, helping residents access services, content, communication, meals, rides, maintenance requests, activities, and more through the tools that actually work for them — whether that’s an app, TV, tablet, Alexa, or even a remote control.What stood out to me most was Matt’s perspective that seniors don’t stop being consumers when they move into a community.They still want choices.They still want independence.They still want to know what’s available to them.They still want their families to be connected to their lives.And in an industry that has historically operated more like real estate than hospitality, Speak2 is helping communities think differently about what they actually provide.This conversation goes deep into senior living, technology adoption, the business challenges of selling into a complex industry, the importance of empathy, the risks of predatory vendor ecosystems, and even the ethical questions around AI.But at the center of it all is a simple idea:Technology should not replace care. It should help people receive better care, stay more connected, and maintain more dignity as they age.Really enjoyed this conversation with Matt Smith of Speak2. #NewYorkBusinessPodcast #SeniorLiving #AssistedLiving #HealthTech #SeniorCare #Entrepreneurship #BusinessPodcast #LongIslandBusiness #TechForGood #FounderStory

  She Left Big Agency Life to Help Small Businesses | Reina Smith Media

  Jun 29, 202647 min

  After 10+ years working inside a large marketing firm, Angela Reina saw a problem that never sat right with her:Small businesses were paying real money for marketing help, but they often weren’t getting the same level of attention, strategy, or care as the bigger clients.So she started Reina Smith Media.Her mission is simple: bring big agency experience to small businesses that actually need someone in their corner.In this conversation, Angela talks about the real purpose of social media, the difference between views and actual conversions, why organic content is like planting seeds, and how paid ads can help businesses generate leads faster.We also got into the honest side of entrepreneurship: quitting her job, living off savings, learning the hard way, building a team, working with her mom, and why networking has been such a major part of her growth.What I appreciated most about Angela is that she does not treat small businesses like they are “too small” to matter.She believes marketing can be scaled, strategy can be practical, and local businesses deserve quality content just as much as the big brands do.Full episode with Angela Reina of Reina Smith Media is out now. #NewYorkBusinessPodcast #LongIslandBusiness #SmallBusinessMarketing #SocialMediaMarketing #ContentMarketing #ReinaSmithMedia #SmallBusinessOwner #Entrepreneurship #LocalBusiness #LongIslandEntrepreneurs

  He Got Evicted. Then Built a Stronger Gym | Revolution Fitness

  Jun 29, 202642 min

  What happens when a business owner watches everything he built get carried out onto the street?For Vinny Deriso, founder of Revolution Fitness, that moment could have been the end.Instead, it became the reset.After being evicted from his previous location, Vinny and his community moved fast. Members showed up. Equipment was loaded. A new lease was signed. Classes were back within weeks. And eventually, Revolution Fitness reopened just 40 feet down the street.But the bigger story is not just that the gym survived.It is that the business got sharper.Vinny used the experience to rethink everything: the membership model, the pricing, the overhead, the staff structure, the culture, and the kind of member Revolution Fitness was truly built for.Instead of trying to be everything to everyone, he leaned into a more focused vision: a serious, private gym community for people who actually want to train.Higher standards. Higher value. Stronger culture.In this episode, Vinny shares the story behind the eviction, the community that helped keep Revolution alive, and the business lessons that came from being forced to rebuild.His biggest reminder to other business owners?Don’t get complacent.Business will shift whether you are ready or not. The question is whether you can solve the puzzle when it does. #NewYorkBusinessPodcast #LongIslandBusiness #RevolutionFitness #GymOwner #SmallBusinessOwner #Entrepreneurship #BusinessLessons #FitnessBusiness #LongIslandGym #BusinessGrowth #FounderStory #LocalBusiness #SmallBusinessTips #BusinessMindset #JacobRestituto
