Do you ever wonder if youâre the right person for your job?
Do you wonder if your idea is good enough to build a sturdy, successful business?
When it comes to entrepreneurship, doubt and imposter syndrome donât discriminate. In fact, theyâre just natural parts of the process.
In this episode, Kim Gamez, founder of Soberish shares her story.
When a great business idea came calling, for her, â...it wasn't a fear of failing, it was a fear of missing out.â Rather than focusing on whether or not she could do it, she considered the possibilities.
And that made all the difference.
Youâll hear how she overcame the doubt and insecurities that plague most entrepreneurs, and how she mustered the courage to believe that her idea was one worth taking a chance on. She shares the biases she encountered along the way, her tips on staying relevant and innovative, and how she harmonizes a full entrepreneurial plate with a rewarding family life.

Hitting rock bottom. Struggling with self-image. Battling against emotional triggers.
These are some of the challenges Kenny Santucci faced head-on as he metamorphosized from an insecure teenager into a successful trainer and gym owner.
Still, conquering the accountability and self-discipline that rescued him from the darkest places wasn't a straightforward path. It was a bumpy road, full of traumatic experiencesâ like being body-shamed by a teacher in his teen years and contemplating ending it all after being jobless, unable to train, and suffering a painful breakup. Instead of giving up, Kenny used these setbacks as a catalyst for change, relying on daily habits and consistency as the building blocks of his success.
Kenny is one of New York's top trainers and a thought leader in the fitness industry. He is a brand ambassador for Michelob and Fitaid, and collaborated with Reebok, Under Armour, and Adidas. He also owns NYC's biggest health, fitness, and wellness expo, STRONG New York, and is dedicated to raising awareness and funds for health issues.
âI put everyone else's success ahead of my own, which will eventually make me successful.â
Today, Ginni sits down with Kenny Santucci to discuss how early struggles with body image and self-esteem pushed him to turn fitness into a lifestyle, not just a profession. They also talk about using physical transformation as a gateway to emotional growth, how accumulating small wins pays off in the long run, the misconceptions created by social media on body image and health, and more.
What You'll Learn:
(5:20) About lifelong habits born from childhood traumas (10:20) The role of consistency and daily wins in personal transformation (14:50) Small wins are the stepping stones to get out of the darkest places (21:00) The transformational power of accountability and consistencyResources:

Sometimes, the biggest life lessons arise from the darkest of places.
Imagine being wrongfully accused of a crime in a faraway land.
Youâre taken against your will, imprisoned, and subjected to days of solitary confinement that you canât even count because you donât know if itâs day or night.
It would be understandable if anyone came out of a situation like this emotionally scarred, harboring a negative worldview.
But the will to survive depends on hope. Every ounce of willpower and resilience becomes just as important as food and oxygen.

But some people go deeper than value.
Some people instinctively know what it will take to get all the way to the top.

This week's guest is Interior Designer Rasheeda Gray. I first met Rasheeda over a year ago when I interviewed her for a project with Architectural Digest. Something about her âalways onâ business persona stuck with me. Itâs clear that her work is very much a part of who she is.
So, wasting no time, I started by asking her what she thought about the concept of professional and personal duality.

So often, we long for an escape. We find ourselves in a place that we always aspired to be, yet, we feel as if something is missing. If we are lucky, we may find ourselves in a different location and be overwhelmed by a realization or inspiration that might lead to a fundamental change in our mindset or our lives. But regardless of where you go to search for the solution, you will always find it in one location - within yourself. We just need to believe in our capabilities, reflect on our past achievements, take action, and hope that we will have the perfect cheerleaders to support us along our journey.
On this episode of The Ginni Show, I speak with Karen Gamba, Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of ExV Agency. Sheâs a philanthropist, traveler, Sci-fi fanatic, and overall girl power guru.

Adversity comes in many shapes and sizes. Itâs something we all experience and deal with differently. Some face it head-on, others do so more tentatively. Whatever it is, and however you handle it, thereâs always a lesson in the things we go through. Sometimes the lesson is easy to understand and other times it takes some serious soul searching. But once we figure it out, it makes everything we went through worth it.
Alex Molden, former NFL player turned leadership and personal development coach, processes adversity by finding an advantage. He believes that our life experiences teach us how to be resilient and grow as individuals. On this episode of the Ginni Show, Alex shares some of the adversity he experienced as a young football player and how he leveraged it to learn about himself and ultimately become a better person. Listen in as he breaks down what it means to be intentional, know your character, and be cognizant of your environment.
