Patrice Washington is a first-generation American, award-winning podcaster, author, transformational speaker, and one of SUCCESS Magazine’s Top 25 Influential Leaders in Personal Development. She joins to unpack her remarkable journey from real estate mogul to global financial wholeness leader.

Patrice built a seven-figure real estate business by the age of 25, but a devastating fall during pregnancy, the 2007 recession, and the heartbreaking loss of her first child forced her into the most difficult surrender of her life. Bible and journal in hand, she learned that surrendering isn’t giving up, it’s releasing what was never ours to control. That pivotal moment became the seed for her reinvention, leading her to create the Redefining Wealth movement and inspire millions to see wealth as well-being, purpose, and freedom.

In this episode, Patrice opens up about breaking generational cycles, navigating family expectations as a Caribbean American, and building confidence not from accolades, but from the lives she’s touched. She shares how to distinguish knowledge from wisdom, how to honor your own story, and why listening to life’s “nudges” can lead you exactly where you’re meant to be.

This week, we reconnect with our brother and classmate, Frandy Peña, founder of Mission Barbers and Mission Haircraft. Known for his ever-present smile and generous heart, Frandy is one of those rare souls who makes everyone feel seen. In this vulnerable and uplifting conversation, he opens up about growing up in a Dominican immigrant household where family meant everything and giving even when there was little to give was a way of life. We explore how those early lessons shaped his values, his journey from IT project management to barbering, and how his barbershop became more than a place for fresh fades it became a sanctuary for emotional healing and connection.

Frandy speaks candidly about his mental health journey, the power of vulnerability, and why barbers are often the unofficial therapists in our communities. We also dive into his mission-driven grooming brand, Mission Haircraft, which provides affordable, high-quality products while giving back to youth in foster care through personalized gift boxes.

Joubert Joseph is a Haitian immigrant, civic entrepreneur, cultural curator, and founder of FOCO Digital and SocialPay. Joubert takes us back to his earliest lessons in business and community, watching his mother bring life and joy to a flea market stall, prioritizing people over profit. Those childhood experiences became the blueprint for his purpose-driven leadership today.

Through stories of grit, generosity, and growth, Joubert shares how he transformed grassroots marketing skills into a career rooted in impact building platforms that empower communities, bridge culture, and fuel civic engagement. We explore his immigrant journey, the values that shaped him, and the mindset that drives him to lead with empathy, creativity, and courage. This episode is a masterclass in turning heritage into innovation and struggle into strength.
