   SP EP56 - ¿Cómo Emprender Cuando Estás Lejos de Casa? | Susana León

   ¿Cómo se construye un negocio lejos de casa, sin tener todas las respuestas y enfrentando desafíos en el camino? En este episodio en español, conozco más de cerca la historia de Susana “Susy” León, fundadora de Rinconcito Guaraní, un emprendimiento familiar que lleva un pedacito de Paraguay a la comunidad latina en Estados Unidos. Hablamos de emprender con recursos limitados, aprender de las experiencias difíciles, reinventarse y confiar en Dios cuando el camino no es fácil. También conversamos sobre la nostalgia de vivir lejos de nuestras raíces y el valor de mantener viva nuestra cultura a través de los productos, las tradiciones y las conexiones con nuestra comunidad. Una conversación sobre fe, familia, resiliencia y el valor de seguir adelante incluso cuando toca empezar de nuevo. 🎙️ From the Ground Up with Esther — historias reales de personas que están construyendo desde la raíz, con fe, propósito y perseverancia. Busca a Rinconcito Guaraní en Instagram y Facebook para conocer más de su emprendimiento. Si esta conversación te inspira, compártela con alguien que esté construyendo algo propio.

   EP55- World Champion powerlifter. She Built Her Confidence, Her Business, and Her Own Path| Solana Lewis

   What does it take to build a life and business from the ground up? Solana Lewis is a World Champion powerlifter, TEDx speaker, author of Why Women Should Powerlift, coach, and entrepreneur. But her journey didn't start with confidence or knowing exactly where she was going. In this conversation, Solana opens up about struggling with confidence and communication growing up, discovering powerlifting, and becoming a world champion at 21. She shares how she used podcasting to develop her voice, built her coaching business through consistency and networking, and learned to keep going even when entrepreneurship felt lonely. We also talk about why women should powerlift, how to turn your passion into opportunities, and the importance of focusing on the actions that move you closer to your goals. This is a conversation about persistence, growth, and taking the next step even when you haven't figured everything out yet. Follow Solana on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/solana_lifts/ and check out her book, Why Women Should Powerlift, and her podcast, The Power in Lifting.

   EP 54- Finding Your Voice, Walking in Purpose & Building From the Ground Up with Carl Michel

   What if your story doesn’t have to be perfect to be worth sharing? In this episode of From the Ground Up with Esther, I sit down with Carl Michel, founder of Young Exekutive, to talk about finding your voice, embracing your story, and becoming the person God has called you to be. Carl shares openly about insecurity, trying to fit in, learning to become comfortable in his own skin, and realizing that he didn’t need to have the most dramatic story or have everything figured out to make an impact. We talk about faith, purpose, success, relationships, consistency, and the importance of becoming the example you may have never had. One of the biggest reminders from our conversation: you don’t have to be at the finish line to help someone who is just getting started. If you’re building something, finding your voice, or figuring out what your next step looks like, this conversation is for you.
