About this listen

We're often so consumed by life and figuring out how to do it right or perfectly that we forget the most important part - that the very point of life is progress, and we can only accomplish that together. Through storytelling style interviews of local small business owners, I will bring you into the hearts and minds of the people you encounter everyday. We will discuss the many aspects of life - there’s no telling where our conversation will go. Let’s join together on this journey, to learn from and with each other, and to grow our capacity for greatness through kindness, empathy, and connection.© 2023 The Point is Progress Economics Leadership Management & Leadership Personal Development Personal Success Relationships Social Sciences

  • Shannon Boryszewski - ON What Happens When Other People Believe in You, Learning to Listen to Your Body, & Going All in on a Passion
    Jan 31 2023

    On this episode, I chat with Shannon, owner of Shop Fine Flowers. Like many entrepreneurs, Shannon didn't plan to go down this road. It wasn't a dream or goal, but others saw it in her before she did. Having been raised by entrepreneurs, Shannon had a good model, but was sure she didn't want to follow in their footsteps. One day a friend sent her a picture of a space for lease. The rest is history. Shannon also shared openly about her experiences going through anxiety and what she does now to support balance in life and work. She's fun, honest, and designs amazing arrangements for any occasion! Check out her site and order something that will make you or a loved one smile!

  • Jaime Festa - ON What Makes a Relationship Successful, Getting Outside Your Comfort Zone in Life & Business, & Starting a Nut-Free Fudge Biz from Scratch
    Jan 12 2023

    On this episode, I chat with Jaime Festa, of Trio Fudge. Jaime stepped outside her comfort zone to do this podcast and it was so fun! We covered so many topics and I loved her honesty about her experiences. From growing up and moving schools every few years to relationships to breaking old habits and so much more, Jaime shared how she learned things about herself and how she is making conscious choices to do things differently - in life and in business. We chatted about topics that not only entrepreneurs can relate to, but anyone on the journey towards progress can connect to. She started this business with her husband and brother while being a stay at home mom. Jaime got inspiration from her children who have severe allergies - wanting to create a place where they, and others, could enjoy fudge the same as everyone else. If you are starting a business or thinking about it, I definitely recommend listening to Jaime's story.

  • Dillon Cafiero - ON Being Bullied, How Men Experience Challenges, & How He Started a Business with Coffee
    Nov 16 2022

    On this episode, I chat with Dillon Cafiero, owner of Edgar Allan Joe, a whole bean and ground coffee delivery service. Dillon talks openly about his personal struggles growing up - being bullied, personal insecurities, and the common wall men build up when facing challenges. Through his many life experiences - be it growing up with 3 brothers, not knowing what he wanted to do, and many, many jobs - he has remained committed to understanding himself better through constant exploration. He is honest that it hasn't always been easy, and yet, he keeps going. A job at Disney, a roommate and a love for coffee and bringing people together, was the beginning of what is now, Edgar Allan Joe. Dillon is on a journey to take coffee to the next level. His passion is inspiring and his coffee is really good - and I can honestly say I don't like coffee so for me to say this - it really is good! Order today from his site!
