BB25-28. Haylee Gernert & The Virtual Life

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Haylee Gernert, on air from July 15th

I believe the behind-the-scenes of a business is where the magic really happens, and that magic deserves care, clarity, and intention. My journey into Online Business Management started with a love of organizing chaos and a deep respect for the humans at the heart of every company. Through systems, structure, and soulful strategy, I support small business owners so they can stop drowning in the day-to-day and get back to the big-picture work they’re meant to do. My message is for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by their own success and needs a trusted partner to help bring order, alignment, and ease to their operations. I also write The Virtual Life, a newsletter and creative outlet where I share stories and reflections from the world of online business: a space to connect with others walking this unique and dynamic path

I started my professional path in traditional administrative roles, learning early on how much I love supporting people, not just with tasks, but with vision. Over time, I moved into virtual support and discovered the world of Online Business Management, where I found my sweet spot: helping purpose-driven entrepreneurs build systems that actually support the life and business they want. Today, I work as an OBM and Retreat Support Specialist, blending operations expertise with heart-centered strategy. I also write a Substack newsletter called The Virtual Life, a passion project where I explore the behind-the-scenes of digital entrepreneurship. I’m based in Northern California, raising a family, growing a business I love, and travelling as often as I can.

BB25-27. Eddy Balaya & Smart Tech

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Eddy Balaya, on air from July 8th

After more than 16 years working in corporate IT, in Service or Consulting companies, and in leadership roles, I decided it was time to take everything I’d learned and use it to support the kinds of businesses that often get overlooked—small and mid-sized companies trying to make things work without reliable tech support. I’ve seen how the lack of time, budget, or technical knowledge leads many business owners to treat IT as something they deal with only when it breaks. That’s what we want to change. At Datasphere Dynamics, our goal is simple: help local businesses make smarter technology decisions, take control of their systems, and build stability step by step, without unnecessary cost or complexity.

I’ve taken more than a few leaps of faith in my life—and I’m grateful for every one of them. Born in India as a French citizen, I grew up in Pondicherry, attending a French school where my accent shaped how I’d speak every language after. In 2006, I moved to France for my studies and began working. My first IT job came right after I admitted I didn’t know how to install antivirus software. From there, I went from sales to leading global network infrastructure for a multinational company, working with telecom giants like NTT, Tata, and Orange.

While friends were settling down, I felt pulled toward something more. In 2017, I immigrated to Canada with nothing but two suitcases and no safety net—delivering food on a bike to start over. By 2019, I was back in a leadership role at a major financial firm. A year later, I lost the home I was about to buy after an unexpected layoff. That loss led me to co-found an IT company, which ultimately didn’t work out, leaving me in debt and sleeping in my Honda Civic. I regrouped, restarted, and in 2021, launched what is now Datasphere Dynamics.

I landed a long-term contract with a U.S. Tech firm, bought a house, and rebuilt—but once again, the role ended during a company reorg. This time, instead of going back, I chose to go all in on my own path, investing in coaching and mentorship to turn Datasphere into a business that truly reflects my purpose: helping business owners take control of their tech with the clarity and confidence they deserve.

A free gift/offer (optional, but ideal for audience engagement and list-building)

I can offer an assessment usually valued at $2,997 and about 20hrs of work on average for FREE.
This gives you an enterprise-grade report on the risks, the gaps, with appropriate recommendations, giving you a roadmap for your IT landscape so you know what to prioritize.

BB24-40. Evgenia Baikova, Your Self-Awareness

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Engenia Baikova, on air from September 23rd

“Self Awareness, Your personal Journey to Success.”

We often overlook the most powerful tool for success: understanding ourselves. As a mindset coach and Gallup certified professional, I’ve seen how self-awareness can change lives and businesses. When people truly know their strengths, weaknesses, and what drives them, amazing things happen. They grow as individuals and build businesses that reflect their authentic selves. I’m eager to share this message because I believe self-awareness can create positive change for everyone. Whether you’re running a company or just trying to improve your life, the journey starts with looking inward. My goal is to help people uncover their unique talents and use them to find success and happiness in all areas of life. By sharing my experiences and insights, I hope to inspire others to embark on their own journey of self-discovery and witness the incredible impact it can have on their personal and professional lives.

BB24-33.Shanan Terale, Be a Pearlfectionista

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Shanan Terale, on air from August 13th

I work with first-generation professionals who struggle to make their money go the same distance as colleagues, who overpay on their taxes, and who struggle to build a secure and sustainable nest egg to create their long-term wealth vision and implement it.  Born middle-class, my family lost everything twice because of crises. I became the first in my family to go to college, graduate school and to practice law, but I still felt powerless to help. But throughout my career, I had worked with every type of financial professional, worked at a family office for a billionaire family, and learned to practice law from some of the best lawyers who operate at the highest levels.  So, I integrated my skills and knowledge with my playful nature to create educational tools to help people develop financial agency so they can navigate these common life struggles using the same tools as the wealthy 1%.
