This week, host Jennifer Glass is joined by special guest Sheila Andres, an expert in small business success and the founder of the Stuck Sucks movement. Together, they dive deep into one of the toughest challenges every entrepreneur faces—getting stuck in life and business, and more importantly, how to get unstuck.

Sheila Andres shares her personal journey from building a business alongside an entrepreneur for 20 years to striking out on her own, only to discover that success doesn't always follow the same rules the second time around. Through candid stories, lighthearted moments, and plenty of laughter, Sheila and Jennifer examine why business owners lose their "mojo," the importance of fun and flow in the entrepreneurial journey, and what it really means to create lasting transformation in business.

If you've found yourself hitting plateaus, struggling with clarity, or just questioning your path, this episode is packed with practical advice, heartfelt encouragement, and a reminder that you’re not alone. Whether you’re a seasoned business owner or just starting out, tune in for insights on self-discovery, vulnerability, and making real progress—plus why having a "business BFF" might just be your new secret weapon.

Welcome to another insightful episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business! Today, we tackle a topic that runs at the core of both personal fulfillment and professional achievement: self-esteem. Host Jennifer Glass sits down with Rick Salmeron, an independent financial advisor and passionate advocate for personal growth. While Rick Salmeron is well-known for helping people manage their finances, in this conversation he opens up about something even more influential—the internal journey of recognizing your self-worth.

Jennifer Glass and Rick Salmeron explore the origins of self-esteem, how it can be quietly sabotaged by life experiences, and—most importantly—what it takes to rebuild it. Rick Salmeron shares the pivotal moment that changed his trajectory: a seemingly simple three-day class that shattered his old self-perceptions and ignited a new sense of possibility in every area of his life, from relationships to business to personal dreams. They dive into the subtle but powerful habits that can move you from feeling stuck or “tepid” to embracing opportunities with courage and conviction.
