Unfiltered stories. Real people. The space where growth actually happens.
Hosted by photographer and storyteller Jeff Mondlock and entrepreneur Amanda Lombardo, Moments In Between explores the raw, unpolished conversations behind the highlight reel. Each episode features creatives, entrepreneurs, and everyday humans navigating purpose, progress, and the pursuit of something more — all while embracing the messy middle.
This podcast is as much about self-love as it is self-help — a reminder that growth doesn’t always look like success, and that motivation often comes from unexpected places
Amanda and Jeff sit down with the incredible Vlad Menendez, whose life story is almost too big for one episode.
At just 12 years old, Vlad made the dangerous journey across the border into the United States. He talks openly about what that crossing was really like, and about the long road that followed: earning his citizenship and then serving his new country as a U.S. Marine.
Vlad's story doesn't slow down after that. He built a small business creating party decorations, went on to work with pharmaceutical companies on the search for a cure for cancer, and then decided to chase one more dream: becoming a pilot.
This conversation is about grit, reinvention, and refusing to let where you started decide where you end up. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a dreamer, or someone wondering if it's too late to start something new, Vlad's story will stay with you.
