C26-10. Mary Farias & Economy Creators

March 9, 2026March 16, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Mary Frias, on air from March 10th

I am an Economy Creator at heart, meaning that I have never fully embraced the traditional ways of earning money and having a “job.” Instead, I have followed my interests and desires and have found ways to earn money doing those things. For instance, my first job was as a gymnastics coach at 16 because I loved the sport, and I wanted to teach it to others. This was a focus for me for many years. When I wanted to combine my love of writing with the sport, I started my publishing company (IrisBlu Publishing) by writing and publishing a series of gymnastics books (called Gym Rats).

When my daughter was born, that evolved into opening a gymnastics center with my husband. As I coached and ran the programs, I felt the pull to do something even more. I was doing more than teaching gymnastics; I was teaching important life skills. But beyond that, I was teaching these kids how to believe in themselves. Because I wanted to be better so I could better serve them, I continuously looked to self-development resources to strengthen my coaching. I came across Bob Proctor, and in studying with him and his work, I realized that I had found the missing link: I found that although gymnastics was my path to get to this point, it wasn’t my destination. So in 2021, rather than rebuilding the gym after the pandemic, my husband and I decided to close it down and to go all-in as a personal and professional development consultant. Along with my new podcast and radio show, Economy Creators, I maintain my publishing company, and I use it as a way to further help my clients by publishing my own books, but also by publishing theirs, as well as spotlighting them and other economy creators on my show. I want to keep going to see where this journey takes me; I’m always listening to my intuition to guide me, following my desires.

The person behind the business is just as important as the person in the business. I believe in creating a YOU-shaped economy, one with each human being at its center. So a part of my economy, besides my businesses is that I’m a wife (husband, Marc) and mother of one daughter (Lola). I have adored horses since I was a child before I manifested my first pony, and now we own two horses now and spend every morning with them at the barn. We all eat a plant-based diet and have been for 12 years now.

C26-08. Furkhan Dandia, Reclaim Agency

February 23, 2026February 18, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Furkhan Dandia. On air from 24th of February.

My WHY is rooted in helping people reclaim agency, meaning, and dignity amid adversity. Having lived through professional upheaval, family and legal battles, loss, and deep inner questioning, I’ve seen how easily people can become trapped in victimhood, self-deception, or systems that erode their sense of self. My work is driven by a commitment to truth, compassion, and responsibility—supporting individuals in facing their pain honestly, integrating their shadow, and reconnecting with something greater than themselves, whether that’s purpose, values, faith, or service. I believe healing is not about being rescued but about being empowered to stand upright, make conscious choices, and live with integrity, even when life is unfair.

I began my professional life in engineering and business, spending two decades in high-performance, results-driven environments where problem-solving, precision, and accountability mattered. From the outside, things looked successful, but life slowly introduced deeper tests—family conflict, loss, legal battles, faith struggles, and periods of profound uncertainty that no spreadsheet or strategy could solve. Those experiences forced me inward and reshaped how I understood resilience, suffering, and responsibility. I ultimately chose to pivot into counselling and therapeutic work, not as a departure from my past, but as an integration of it—bringing structure, discernment, and grounded compassion into spaces where people are navigating pain, identity, and meaning. Behind the profession, I’m a father, a seeker of truth, a person of faith, and someone who believes that healing happens when we are honest about our wounds, accountable for our choices, and willing to stand upright even when life is unfair.

John Edward Ryan “Am Alive” C26-04

January 26, 2026January 21, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest John Eward Ryan, on air from Janaury 27th

Who is John Edward Ryan?

I grew up on a small family dairy farm in the hills of Madison County. Hardscrabble Road. It was the simple, old-fashioned childhood you read about in books and see on a Christmas card.

I use my middle name “Edward” because it was my father’s name. I am so proud to be his son – he was a truly great man. You’ll hear more about him later…

I worked on farms all through high school and became a “Shop Kid”. Leather Shop. Wood Shop. Metal Shop. Ag Shop. Mechanical things were easy for me. I loved to fix up old snowmobiles dirt bikes and tractors. My brothers and our buddies loved the thrill of riding the old machines we could afford to buy, cobb together, ride (and destroy). ?

I worked as an apprentice after high school and became a Journeyman Toolmaker at the local factory.

As a shop guy, I certainly loved the tools and the widgets. But I loved one thing even more. Just like Ed, I love People. Talking. Telling stories and laughing…

I think of myself as a “Professional Optimizer”. I created Shop Class to combine the best elements of Heroic Coaching and Financial Fundamentals, with the third element: Urgency.

My Mission is to help human beings flourish – in what has become the most…

“Wonderful Awful World”.

You will hear me say that – “Today is the Greatest Day to be Alive.”

I am passionate and positive. I am also highly concerned that we are racing towards chaos!

Join me in Shop Class. You will Get a dose of High Energy Optimism – AND a profoundly urgent message. From a man who has died three times, been defibrillated twice, and Am Alive to tell the stories.

Ask me about…

Final Shock Polarity Standard.

Why I do what I do.

It is simple. I have to.

This is who I am. I am incredibly blessed. I have made poor choices. I have made great choices. All the wisdom and blessings have shaped my life in a way – that I know that I must pay it forward.

The only thing I can possibly do for the rest of my life – is to do the best I can to live up to my potential. This means serving other human beings. This means using the gifts that I was given in the best possible way.

We are meant to do two things. Work. And Love. I apply the concept of “Threes” and add in Energy. We need the Energy to go and Work as best we can. To go and Love the best we can.

This is who I am and what I do – helping others find their unique path to the best possible Energy, Work and Love.

Celeste started Lisse Laser & Skin Studio, an award-winning boutique clinic and the most specialized laser studio in Qualicum Beach, with advanced expertise in Laser Hair Removal and Laser Skin Rejuvenation because of her own journey with excess body hair. She wanted the opportunity to start a business where she could work from her home studio and make her own hours, due to health reasons at the start of her business. She wanted to make laser both accessible and affordable, without compromising on excellence.? This was a standard she was not willing to compromise on.

At Lisse, she’s all about the human touch. She builds lasting relationships, not just client files. The client’s needs come first—because she truly cares, and her clients genuinely matter to her.??

Celeste understands because of her own experience with PCOS & Hirsutism, how deeply personal body hair can be, and no amount of hair will ever make her uncomfortable or not willing to serve you. She’s created a beautiful, Neurodivergent and LGBTQIA2S+ judgement-free & sensory-friendly space, where it feels safe for anyone who enters to be authentic & their natural selves. She is comfortable with others being un-masked around her & she actively does laser for clients with ADHD, AuDHD, Autism & Tourettes.
