Same Business Different Day

Welcome to a bonus episode of the Same Business Different Day podcast. Today, our host Zeke Corley sits down with the incoming President & CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of San Marcos. A leader and confident communicator early on, she forged a very smart path to translate that into her education and work experience. What is just as important is that her intent to "mobilize, inspire, lead, and learn" puts her in a circle of people that our show likes to surround ourselves with. Congratulations Christine and we look forward to the impact that you will continue to make. Don't forget to get yourself a ticket to the Annual Auction of the San Marcos boys & Girls Club. They are taking it back to the 1970's to celebrate their 45th year anniversary. Come support a great cause. Thanks as always to our sponsors The Film Hub and YourInsurancePlace.com.

Working to transform his own life from a young age by joining the Marines, he now is determined to do the same for others through Solutions for Change. We’re lucky enough to have showcased on the podcast one of the many individuals in San Diego county who work tirelessly to reach their goals through entrepreneurship and hard work.

In this episode, our host Zeke Corley has the pleasure of sitting down with one of the brilliant minds behind the growth (no pun intended) of Tradecraft Farms. Tina is incredibly forthcoming about where she developed many of her skills. Moving alot throughout her childhood, she learned how to adapt easily and even used school recess as an opportunity to learn more. She learned good work ethics from her mother, and continues to use some of those methods to this day! So much more to her story, but you’ll have to press play to hear it yourself. We’re happy to welcome a true sales technician, and all around good person to the Same Business Different Day podcast. Enjoy our conversation with Tina Tonoco!

Welcome back to the Same Business Different Day podcast with host Zeke Corley! Zeke met today's guest Nicolina at a networking event last month, where she and a number of her peers from Cal State San Marcos were fulfilling an assignment to network with local business owners. One of her other requirements was to interview local business owners, so Zeke said "Why not use my platform?" As our show typically discusses the early paths of currently successful business owners, what better opportunity than to talk about Nicolina's early years prior to the success? You'll learn a little more about Zeke in this episode as Nicolina performs her interview on our show! Shoutout to CSUSM's Business 300 program! They are turning out some very impressive future business minds.

Today, host Zeke Corley sits down with Erica Alfaro for an absolutely unbelievable and inspirational conversation about achieving against all odds. At one point, Erica actually went viral after posting a photo of her that, even without words, depicts the journey that we love talking about on this show every week. Today, we put that story into words, as she does so eloquently in her book, Harvesting Dreams, and as a keynote speaker throughout California and Mexico! She has an impressive list of accolades that are only made more special once you hear her story!

In this episode, our host Zeke Corley sits with Chris Kydd who has come a long way from his childhood aspiration of becoming a grocery store clerk. Chris is now the Publisher of the Coast News Group, a business started by his father in his garage in 1987. At a young age, Chris started on the ground floor with the Coast News. Learning to work in a family business isn’t easy. He eventually went off to college, studied abroad, matured, and changed his perspective. He humbly accepts his current position as Publisher, and takes his job more seriously than he would if he hadn’t. Keeping objective principles in these polarizing times isn’t easy for a community paper, especially while many have been saying that “newspaper is dead” for over 10 years. Chris’ energy and perspective should be infectious to the good people among us. We are glad that he has our community’s best interest in mind. Enjoy this episode. Thanks to our Sponsors!

In today's episode, host Zeke Corley had the pleasure of sitting down with owner of Kingdom Kutz, Donnell Hilliard. His story is as powerful as any, from being moved around the country with his family, to making the decision to settle in Oceanside, CA after Hurricane Katrina. The many decisions we make in athletics, education, family, and business can all shape the entrepreneur we eventually become. As important, humility, confidence, connections, and wisdom are also born from these experiences. Donnell uses these traits to teach and pass on wisdom as well.

In this episode, we learn about how Gumaro built those relationships, and how he builds trust through sharing as well as smart planning. With all that he has going on, how does he balance business and pleasure. He admits that it isn't easy, but we don't doubt that he will see continued success.
