What if the freedom you want isn't on the other side of a perfect plan… but on the other side of your next move?

This week on No More Mondays, Angie is joined by Navid Moosa — real estate investor, serial entrepreneur, and living proof that you don't need a trust fund, a head start, or a shiny roadmap to build a life on your terms.

Navid has spent more than 20 years in real estate, closing over $1B in deals and building a portfolio of 300+ doors — and that's just one lane. He's also built multiple businesses (yes, including a taco truck), created a trademarked investment method, and developed a practical framework for mindset + discipline + time management + action.

But the most compelling part of Navid's story?
He built it while navigating cultural expectations, family pressure, limited resources, and very real early setbacks — including being screwed over by someone he trusted when he first tried to break into the industry.

This episode is for anyone who feels behind, stuck in comparison syndrome, or trapped between "safe" and "I know I'm meant for more."

In this conversation, you'll hear:

• The moment Navid realized he was done playing the corporate game

• What it's like to grow up first-generation with competing expectations and "normal" constraints

• Why he believes you're "damned either way"… so you might as well do what's right for you

• How he got started in real estate with limited resources (and early hard lessons)

• "Pick your struggle" — and why freedom always comes with a price

• A practical reframe for overthinkers: write your fear… then write the opposite

• Why perfectionism is often just procrastination in better clothes

• Balance vs. harmony — and how Navid structures his week across multiple businesses

• The shift from "I'm doing this for them" to "I'm doing this for me" (and why that's not selfish)

If you've been waiting for permission, clarity, or a guarantee… this one will lovingly call you out.

Because you don't need everything to start.
You just need to start.

What happens when the business you've built starts to feel like the thing that's holding you back?

This week on No More Mondays, I'm joined by Bonny Morlak—startup coach, founder, and fellow real-talk enthusiast—for a conversation about what it really means to scale a business, stay sane, and stop being the bottleneck in your own success story.

Bonny is a two-time Global Startup Coach of the Year, a 2025 Momentum Award winner (shoutout, Modern Coach fam!), and someone who's seen the full arc: from launching companies to burning out, to rebuilding from the ground up in a way that actually felt good.

This isn't your typical hustle culture episode. We're calling BS on the idea that productivity equals worth, exploring how our cultural wiring feeds burnout, and digging into what it looks like to define success on your terms.

We get into:

• The difference between growth and grind (and how to spot it)

• Why "doing it all" is a red flag, not a badge of honor

• How founder mindset becomes the biggest barrier to scale

• What to do when the universe goes from subtle tap to full-on slap

• Why every entrepreneur needs to step out of the echo chamber

You'll also hear Bonny's take on calendar audits, naming your North Star, and why the loudest voice in your life should be your own (but in a good way).

Whether you're scaling a business or just trying to stay human while chasing something big, this one's a permission slip and a perspective shift.
