  • Ep. 86 - Marcelo Guzzo & Anelle Beer Guzzo on Art, Purpose, and Building a Cultural Movement
    2025/12/09
    This week, Adam sits down with two extraordinary humans who are reshaping the cultural heartbeat of Fairfield County: Marcelo Guzzo and Anelle Beer Guzzo, co-founders of Greenwich Opera — a rising arts institution blending world-class performance, education, and community connection. Marcelo is a Uruguayan-Italian baritone praised by The New York Times, The Boston Globe, and Opera News for his commanding voice and magnetic stage presence. He has performed lead roles in major opera houses worldwide and collaborated with legends like Andrea Bocelli and Plácido Domingo. Today, he serves as Executive Director of Greenwich Opera — bringing his global artistry into an intimate, local mission. Anelle is a producer, artist, and former finance executive from Cape Town, South Africa. Her career spans global banking, humanitarian work, creative production, and meaningful initiatives supporting children and incarcerated mothers. Her lifelong connection to music, shaped by her family's legacy and the loss of her twin sister, powers the heart-centered vision she brings to Greenwich Opera. Together, they are building a cultural house that redefines what opera can be: accessible, soulful, community-driven, and deeply human. In This Conversation, We Explore: 🎼 The love story that sparked a mission — a chance encounter on Broadway that turned into a partnership in life, art, and purpose. 🌍 What cultural heritage really means — how their South African and Uruguayan/Italian roots shape the energy, values, and storytelling behind their work. 🎭 Why performing arts are more essential than ever — especially for youth growing up in a noisy, overstimulated digital world. 💔 Transforming pain into purpose — Anelle's promise to her twin sister, the healing power of music, and how loss became the foundation for her life's mission. 🚪 Hearing 'no' as a 'not yet' — how resilience, humility, and unwavering vision drive their commitment to building something bigger than themselves. 🌱 Building Greenwich Opera from the ground up — the Manor Series, education initiatives, school programs, luxury partnerships, and long-term plans for festivals and community collaborations. 🕊️ Art as stillness, connection, and spiritual freedom — why live opera moves people in ways that modern life rarely does. 👨‍👩‍👦 Raising the next generation with art at the center — what they want their son, his peers, and an entire community to experience. 💡 Purpose as service — seeing who needs something they cannot give themselves, and leading with humility, love, and soul. This episode is emotional, powerful, and deeply human. Marcelo and Anelle share wisdom that transcends art — touching on identity, love, spirituality, vulnerability, and the courage to dream the impossible dream.

  • Ep. 84 - How to Find Your Purpose by Looking Within with Penny Goffman
    2025/11/25

    In this week's episode of The Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Penny Goffman — an innovative entrepreneur, community builder, and strategic experiential storyteller whose work has transformed the way brands connect with women through purpose-driven experiences.

    Penny is the former Head of Community at HeyMama, where she fostered deep connections among entrepreneurial mothers nationwide through curated events, partnerships, and programming. She previously built, scaled, and sold Jolie Gotique, the first mobile fashion boutique of its kind in Fairfield County, and has served as a stylist and emcee for iconic brands including Bloomingdale's, Lord & Taylor, Alice + Olivia, and Athleta.

    Her work and voice have been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Greenwich Lifestyle Magazine, Greenwich Magazine, Westchester Family, HeyMama, and on multiple podcasts including That Greenwich Life with Dorothy Simone.

    In this deeply reflective and energizing conversation, Penny opens up about:

    ✨ Growing up in Montreal and fearlessly transitioning into the New York City fast-paced world
    ✨ Shifting out of finance into entrepreneurship and motherhood with purpose
    ✨ How Jolie Gotique became a community-driven fashion movement — and why it succeeded
    ✨ The lessons she learned leading community for hundreds of women nationwide
    ✨ The power of showing up with purpose (and what really happens when you do)
    ✨ Knowing your value — especially as a new entrepreneur
    ✨ Why routine, alignment, and "boring" sacred rituals keep her grounded
    ✨ Building female-led communities that elevate, connect, and transform
    ✨ The importance of self-inquiry, shadow work, and looking "under the hood" to find true purpose
    ✨ How to navigate relationships, boundaries, energy, and maintaining authentic connections
    ✨ Why purpose, for her, is rooted in deep connection — with self, family, work, and home

    Penny's wisdom is honest, grounded, and refreshingly real. If you're a purpose-driven entrepreneur, a community-builder, or a woman seeking deeper clarity, this episode will hit home.

    2025/11/04

    In this week's episode of The Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Ginger Richardson, founder of KIN Sauna — a mobile, wood-burning sauna and cold plunge experience redefining community wellness in Fairfield, Connecticut.

    Ginger's story is one of reinvention — a journey that threads together design, healing, motherhood, and the power of human connection. Originally from Canada, Ginger's life has taken her across continents — from the U.S. to Asia — before landing in Connecticut, where she discovered a calling far beyond business: creating spaces where people could heal, connect, and grow together.

    What began as a personal search for clarity and strength during a period of transition evolved into KIN Sauna — a sanctuary built on the belief that true wellness starts with courage. The courage to sit in stillness. The courage to embrace discomfort. The courage to show up as you are.

    In this conversation, Ginger opens up about entrepreneurship, faith, and doing the inner work required to lead an authentic life. From navigating divorce and rediscovering self-worth, to building a business rooted in community and purpose, she reminds us that transformation often begins where comfort ends.
