Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Vera Gjelaj, From Immigrant Single Mom to Owner of Arome Caffe & Patisserie | EP 191
Q: What lessons from your training and early career helped you build Arome from scratch?
The key was mastering technique, learning from top chefs, and staying true to my own taste and vision rather than following blueprints. I also leaned on community and mentors, which helped me open and sustain the bakery over time.
Vera Gjelaj, From Immigrant Single Mom to Owner of Arome Caffe & Patisserie | EP 191
Q: Walk us through your early steps in the United States and what pushed you toward the culinary path?
I came as an Albanian immigrant with two young kids, started as a cleaning lady to support my family, then worked at Lenox Hill Hospital and a restaurant with my brother. The turning point was recognizing I could do more and enrolling in the French Culinary Institute to pursue formal training while managing two jobs.
Lexi Brine, Cosmetics, Courtrooms and Closings: A Winding Path to Purpose | EP 189
Q: Why did Lexi pivot away from traditional law toward real estate?
After maternity leave and realizing the demanding nature of big law, she sought flexibility and a role where she could be her own boss and build a business around her strengths, ultimately finding real estate aligned with her skills and values.
Lexi Brine, Cosmetics, Courtrooms and Closings: A Winding Path to Purpose | EP 189
Q: What was the first firm Lexi went to after law school?
She started at Kirkland & Ellis, a big law firm in litigation, but quickly realized the lifestyle and culture weren't a good fit for her, pushing her toward exploring other paths.
Dr. Trish Leigh, Preschool to Brain Science: Reinvention and Rewiring Your Mind | EP 188
Q: Tell me about brain mapping and QEEG, and where can people find you?
The brain map shows the amount and levels of dysfunction in the brain, revealing dysregulation. It helps people understand their challenges without blaming themselves, and with my app and the corresponding brain maps, those patterns can be rewired to healthier function.
