SLG Meetup E265: James Harris (Full Version)

Anthony and Teresa Loli, entrepreneurs and advocates for health and family, join us on our #SLGMeetups. Anthony built a real estate career from the age of 19, but years of hustle left his health behind, and at over 300 pounds he decided to apply the same intensity to changing it. Teresa, a former actress and model, became his partner in that transformation, and together they rebuilt their lives around health, family, and living with intention. They share the breaking point that started it all, the role partnership played, and why it's never too late to change.

Lauren Ridinger, co-founder of Market America and Shop.com, joins us on our #SLGMeetups. At seventeen, Lauren and her late husband JR imagined a world where people could shop from a mall without walls, an idea nobody believed in at the time. They went full force in anyway and built a global business and a community rooted in values. Lauren shares the story behind Market America, the lessons JR taught her about leadership, and how she's carrying their legacy forward.

Steve Varsano, President of Flexjet and founder of The Jet Business, joined us to talk about growing up in a single-parent household, working from a young age to pay for flying lessons, and building a career at the top of private aviation. We get into curiosity, genuine relationships, and why the best business starts with solving someone's problem, not selling to them.
