From Boeing to Bakery: Building a Business Without a Blueprint with Michael Huynh
<p>What if success isn’t something you plan, but something you discover? In this episode, Dan T. Rogers sits down with Michael Huynh, founder of Macadons, to explore a journey shaped by uncertainty, curiosity, and quiet persistence.

Turning ADHD into a Leadership Advantage at Work with André Brisson
<p>What if the thing you’ve been trying to manage… is actually your advantage? </p><p>In this episode, Dan sits down with engineer, entrepreneur, and host of The Impulsive Thinker Podcast, André Brisson, to explore what happens when you stop forcing yourself to fit the system and start redesigning the system around your wiring. </p><p>From bridging theory and tangible solutions on construction sites to navigating a life-altering ADHD diagnosis, André shares how unmanaged strengths can sabotage you and how clarity turns them into fuel.

Building a Real Estate Business That Gives Back with Katrina Romatowski
<p>What if wealth wasn’t measured by what you accumulate, but by what you’re able to give back? </p><p>In this episode of Beats Working: Winning the Game of Work, Dan T. Rogers sits down with real estate entrepreneur and social purpose founder Katrina Romatowski. A mom of six and founder of three purpose-driven companies, Katrina is redesigning how homeownership works in neighborhoods many believe are out of reach. </p><p>From creating housing stability for foster youth to pioneering shared ownership models in Seattle, Katrina’s story is about challenging inherited beliefs, rethinking outdated paradigms, and building businesses that fill your tank instead of draining it. </p><p>This isn’t just about property development. It’s about developing possibility. </p><p>Takeaways: </p><ul><li>Purpose before profit is a long game, but it wins. Katrina structured her brokerage as a social purpose corporation from the start. </li><li>Stability unlocks agency. Level Up provides housing and mentorship to foster youth aging out of the system. </li><li>Wealth is having more than enough to give back. Financial, emotional, and relational wealth all count. </li><li>Density isn’t the goal, livability is. ReSpace designs homes for how people actually thrive. </li><li>Shared ownership changes the paradigm. You don’t have to rent or own alone; there’s a third way. </li></ul><p>Timestamps: </p><p>[00:00] — Meet Katrina: Mom of six, founder of three companies </p><p>[03:00] — Creating Level Up for foster youth </p><p>[06:30] — Profit and purpose as equal drivers </p><p>[11:30] — “I felt like an outsider looking in” </p><p>[18:00] — Questioning inherited worldviews </p><p>[24:00] — Why traditional real estate models waste potential </p><p>[29:00] — Shared ownership and hyper-affordable housing </p><p>[35:00] — Designing for livability over density </p><p>Resources & Links: </p><p>-Katrina Romatowski: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/katrinaeileen/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LinkedIn</a> </p><p>-reSpace: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/respacecohomeownership" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Facebook</a> & <a href="https://www.instagram.com/respace_inc/www" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Instagram</a> </p><p>-Dan T.
