About this listen

On today’s episode of Talk Wealthy To Me, Michelle sits down with Dana Marie Roquemore, founder of The Dinner Party Project—a beloved Orlando movement that’s hosted 900+ intentional gatherings and sparked thousands of real-life connections.

Dana shares how a simple idea (inviting strangers to dinner) became a purpose-driven business, why she measures wealth as time, health, slow mornings, travel, a quiet mind, and a house full of love, and how she prioritizes mental health and rest while still building. We also dig into start-before-you’re-ready entrepreneurship, hiring lessons, and why community is a key part of financial well-being.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • How to turn a passion into a purpose-driven business
  • Practical ways to start (and pivot) without a perfect plan
  • A holistic view of wealth that goes beyond the bank account
  • The power of curated conversation and Women Lead Orlando
  • Travel on a budget(ish): house-sitting, extended trips, remote work
  • Hiring/hard lessons: lead well, don’t hire in desperation
  • How personality frameworks (Enneagram) can improve money, work, and relationships
