Ep 11 - Ali Rittenhouse International - Ali Rittenhouse

On this episode we sat down w/ Shanelle’s classmate & my newest friend in Sidney...Ali Rittenhouse. She is the owner of Ali Rittenhouse International.

The first time I met Ali, the whole idea of this podcast was just a blip of a thought in my head but I knew she was exactly the type of person that I would highlight on an episode if I ever made it happen. Well, here we are & I’m really excited for you to get to know her! She’s a social media guru, an online business coach, a consultant for entrepreneurs all over the word, & an incredible advocate & prod resident of her hometown of Sidney, Ohio.

The takeaway on this episode is easy. Simply put “You Can Do It” & no matter what you’re going through or what kind of obstacles you’re facing...you can get through it, overcome, prosper, & succeed! Every entrepreneur faces challenges while building their business. Most are small learning experiences that come as part of the process but some are massive. Some have nothing to do w/ the business or the goals either. Some are just life situations that pop up out of nowhere or that have been issues longer than we can remember. Most of these types of obstacles would break you down whether you are building a business or working a 9-5.
The bottom line is...we all go through some shit. You might be going through something right now. I just want to let you know that you can get through it...you’re stronger than you think...& you’re not alone in feeling like that. Ali was very candid in telling her story & I already know it will inspire you if you’re in a place where you’re feeling like you don’t have any fight left in you. You do...& you aren’t far from being amazing & happier than you’ve ever been! Just keep grinding it out & believe in your hustle. You got this shit.

Ep 13 - Corporate - Matt Tomamichel

On this episode, I sit down at Streetside Brewery in historic Columbia Tusculum w/ Matt Tomamichel, the Owner of Corporate – Cincinnati’s premier sneaker & clothing shop. Not only is Matt the owner of Corporate, but he is also an accomplished designer, a giving philanthropist w/ his Bigger Than Sneakers non-profit, & just a helluva guy w/ some just inspiring & positive vibes. It was a pleasure to talk to Matt & listen to his come-up story while enjoying some cold Streetside brews.

Corporate is located in Hyde Park & is known by sneakerheads across the country. However, creating such a successful business wasn’t the only goal for Matt. Although his 2nd store recently opened w/ immediate hype & success in Indianapolis...that didn’t seem to be what made him tick. Throughout our conversation you could see how excited he got when he talked about seeing people come up, or mentioning the pride he has in his team, or describing BTS – his Bigger Than Sneakers non-profit. It was those things, or the mentioning of his family, supporters, coaches, & mentors who were by his side & encouraging him & teaching him game along his journey to success that really lit him up. I could feel his energy when he described these people & things & it was obvious he was genuinely grateful for all of them.

Like all real hustlers, he ‘s been humbled by failures & learned to embrace the lessons they leave in their wake. He respects the game, too, as he gets excited to see others shine & shows love to his community & empathy & compassion to those less fortunate. His climb to his current level of success makes perfect sense when he lays it out, but it was a grind the whole way & he deserves every ounce of success that he’s earned. This dude is the truth & I’m excited for you to hear this interview. I hope you finish this & are as fired up as I was.
