   #127 | They Left 30-Year Careers to Open an Ice Cream Shop | Kelly & Daniel Decker

   In this episode of Finding Your Invspiration, we sit down with Kelly and Daniel Decker, the husband-and-wife team behind Bruster's Real Ice Cream in Rancho Cucamonga, whose decision to leave more than 30 years of corporate careers began during the uncertainty of the pandemic. Kelly and Daniel share how a simple conversation during a walk turned a childhood dream into reality. Despite having no experience in the food industry, they took a leap of faith, invested in a franchise, and navigated financial risk, construction setbacks, and the fear of starting over. But this conversation is about more than opening an ice cream shop. It is about building a life around joy, creating a gathering place for the community, and developing young employees into confident leaders. Their Rancho Cucamonga location eventually became the number-one Bruster's store in the country without a drive-through. Kelly and Daniel also discuss the strength of their partnership, the role faith played in their journey, and why waiting for the "right time" can prevent us from pursuing the life we truly want. 🎬 Produced by National CORE Productions 💙 In support of Hope Through Housing Foundation ================================================ 🍦 Bruster's Rancho Cucamonga 📸 https://www.instagram.com/brusters_ranchocucamonga/ 💙 Hope Through Housing Foundation 🌐 https://hthf.org/ (https://hthf.org/) 🏢 National CORE 🌐 https://nationalcore.org 🎙 FYI's Socials 📸 https://www.instagram.com/fyi_podcast/ 🎧 New episodes every Monday 👍 Like, subscribe, and share with someone who needs this today. 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an inspiring story.

   #126 | Why Art Is More Important Than Ever in 2026 | Gabriel Enamorado's Journey

   In this episode of Finding Your Invspiration, we sit down with Gabriel Enamorado, a artist, designer, photographer, and executive director of Stay Arts whose lifelong relationship with creativity began during a difficult childhood. Gabriel shares how drawing Dragon Ball Z characters, discovering graffiti, and earning two dollars for one of his childhood drawings helped him recognize the value of his creativity. That passion eventually led him to organize community exhibitions, co-found Stay Arts, and build an organization that now employs more than 35 artists and brings arts education to schools, families, and underserved communities throughout Southeast Los Angeles. But this conversation is about more than building an arts organization. It is about transforming pain into purpose, finding the courage to follow your creativity, and protecting the authentic human experience of making art in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence. Gabriel also discusses the boundaries between AI and human creativity, the importance of making art accessible to everyone, and why creating space for the next generation of artists may be his most meaningful work yet. 🎬 Produced by National CORE Productions 💙 In support of Hope Through Housing Foundation ================================================ 🎨 Stay Arts 📸 https://www.instagram.com/stayartsorg/ 🖌️ Stay Studio 📸 https://www.instagram.com/staystudio/ 💙 Hope Through Housing Foundation 🌐 https://hthf.org/ (https://hthf.org/) 🏢 National CORE 🌐 https://nationalcore.org 🎙 FYI's Socials 📸 https://www.instagram.com/fyi_podcast/ 🎧 New episodes every Monday 👍 Like, subscribe, and share with someone who needs this today. 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an inspiring story.
