This episode's topic: The Power of Visibility. We're diving into why every growing business eventually loses clarity. We'll discuss what clarity actually means, why it gets lost, and how easy it is to get back.

A new episode of Finding Reverie: An Entrepreneur’s Journey is live - and this one is all about family at the heart of a business. ❤️

Advantage Trailer began 36 years ago when the first-generation owner gathered his family and asked one big question: What business should we build together? Today, the second generation, his two daughters, proudly carry that legacy forward.

Now, decisions are made by a team of four, guided intentionally by the company’s core values as they expand, innovate, and shape the future. And in their office hangs a powerful symbol: their father’s steering wheel from his boat. Fresh paint may be on the walls, but that steering wheel grounds them - reminding everyone where the journey began and connecting two generations of leadership.

Tune in to hear their inspiring story of legacy, values, and growth. 🎙️✨

This episode's topic: The Reverie Difference. We're diving into the heart of Reverie. Why we exist. What we mean when we sayThe Future is Fearless. Plus, we're discussing how our hands-on approach actually works with the founders and family-owned businesses we serve.

This month, we’re sharing the story of Albert Bramante, Founder & CEO of Bramante Artists, a New York–based talent agency built on courage, trust, and the belief in doing what you love.

With a PhD in clinical psychology, Albert never planned to become a talent agent - let alone start his own agency. But after exploring acting in the early 2000s, he discovered a true passion for supporting and advocating for performers. Despite never working for another agency, he took a leap of faith and built his own.

His secret? Staying present, focusing on the moment, and building authentic relationships in an industry known for its competition.

Albert’s story is a reminder that success often comes from betting on yourself and finding fulfillment in the work you love.

This episode's topic: The Business Checkup by Reverie - a 20-question assessment built exclusively for business owners like you, delivering a high-level look at the health of your business. It will help business owners identify strengths, highlight opportunities, and spark the kind of clarity that helps continue to build the legacy you’ve worked so hard to create.

This episode, we sit down with Ashley Cullins, New York Times best-selling author of "Your Favorite Scary Movie" and a lifelong Scream superfan. What started as a pitch to The Hollywood Reporter turned into two published articles, an unexpected email from a literary agent, and eventually, the book she always knew she was meant to write.

Ashley opens up about being diagnosed with ADHD later in life, the courage it took to ask the so-called “stupid questions,” and how she wrote her book proposal during maternity leave with her first son. Her story is one of resilience, trust, and proving that dreams really can come true.

This conversation is about facing fear head-on and betting on yourself. You won’t want to miss it.

A new episode of Finding Reverie: An Entrepreneur’s Journey is out now!

In honor of Suicide Prevention Month, we sat down with Pete and Kara Janus, founders of the Nick Janus Foundation. Their son Nick - bright, kind, and deeply loved - died by suicide just over three years ago, only days into his freshman year of college.

Through unimaginable grief, Pete and Kara chose purpose. They built the Nick Janus Foundation to honor Nick’s caring spirit and to normalize mental health conversations among young men. Their mission: educate, build community, and remind others there’s no shame in how you feel, and there’s always an answer.

This episode is heartfelt, inspiring, and full of hope. Pete and Kara’s courage to turn tragedy into advocacy is a powerful reminder that even in loss, love can create lasting change.

Listen now and join us in spreading awareness this Suicide Prevention Month.

This episode, we’re spotlighting Courtney Rioux — actor, voiceover artist, and life coach — whose journey from a shy kid to a confident performer is both inspiring and deeply relatable.

You may know her as Paramedic Courtney on Chicago Med or recognize her warm voice from Jimmy Dean commercials. But behind the spotlight is a story of grit, growth, and self-belief. Courtney opens up about the moment she knew she wanted to be an actor (hello, high school lead role as a freshman!) — and how she’s learned to thrive in an industry built on rejection.

Through her work with a life coach, Courtney developed tools to combat self-doubt and fear — including one powerful practice: keeping a running list of every win, accomplishment, and YES she’s ever received. When rejection shows up (as it always does), she turns to that list as a reminder of her worth.

Courtney also shares her powerful philosophy of building a "happiness portfolio" — one that’s not solely tied to career success. Because true fulfillment? It’s about nurturing every part of who you are.
