About Jessica:

Jessica Ell is a Martha Beck life coach who helps people make hard decisions, especially the choice to

walk away from something that's good on paper.

It started with her choice to walk away from a scholarship at a top ten law school because she couldn't

"get to yes" with the decision to go.

Since then, her career has included owning a successful real estate office, running communications at a

frontier technology startup, and publishing murder mystery novels on the side.

Now she helps other people make seemingly "ill-advised" decisions that lead them straight to the lives

they're meant to live.

Discover why breaking away from societal norms and pursuing authenticity is crucial for success with the 'anti real estate agent' and motivational speaker Bob Thompson.

Bob shares his unique approach to real estate, emphasizing honesty and authenticity, and recounts his personal journey from a miserable job at a chemical plant to thriving in the real estate industry despite adversities.

Gain invaluable insights on combating self-doubt, the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people, and actionable tips for entrepreneurs looking to carve their own path and thrive authentically.

About Bob:

As the Anti- Real Estate Agent and Motivational Speaker I like to do things a bit differently. I talk about

business after my 2 heart attacks and quadruple bypass in 2018. Thanks Bob

About Rick:

Rick is Dallas-Based CEO of Salmeron Financial, an independent financial advisor (clients coast-to-coast!).

Since 1990, Rick's been guiding individuals, families, and business owners to help them put their hard-earned income and money on the right path – their path, not someone else's – so they can focus on life's real treasures. Like more quality time with family, focusing on growing your business, or even retiring early

(who wouldn't want any of that?).

Rick's been a stage speaker and podcast guest on several shows, sharing his financial wisdom with a passion that doesn’t touch a spreadsheet.

Rick isn't your stuffy suit, jargon-slinging financial advisor. He's an avid student of personal development (seeking ways to be better), a champion husband (says the wife), a proud dad of 2 awesome young adults, a hot yoga fanatic and foodie (because balance, right?), and a devoted cat lover.
