BB25-34. Damien Ross, “Fast-Track to Mortgage Freedom”

August 25, 2025August 24, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Damien Ross, on air from August 26th

My passion for mortgage brokering comes from seeing too many families burdened by debt longer than they need to be. I believe everyone deserves the freedom and peace of mind that comes from being mortgage-free early, with a financial plan that builds lasting wealth. My mission is to guide people—whether first-time buyers or long-time homeowners—toward smart strategies that not only pay off their mortgage faster but set them up for a secure, comfortable future they can pass on to the next generation.

I grew up with two older brothers and incredible parents who taught me the value of hard work from a young age. I’ve been self-employed for most of my life, and I’ve always loved the hustle of running a business—looking ahead, setting goals, and achieving them.

My path to becoming a mortgage broker is a longer story, but the short version is this: I’ve always been drawn to real estate, and in my other businesses I genuinely enjoyed the numbers side—keeping the books in the black and making sure things ran efficiently. Over time, I realized that mortgage brokering combined my love for real estate, numbers, and helping people reach their goals. The more I learned about the profession, the more I knew it was the perfect fit.

Outside of work, I’m a family man with an amazing wife and a teenage daughter. We love the outdoors—camping, exploring, and getting out into the woods whenever we can.

FREE OFFER.

I offer a complimentary one-on-one session where we take a close look at your numbers and explore strategies tailored to your situation. It’s a chance to get practical, personalized advice that can help you make informed decisions and move confidently toward your goals.

BB25-28. Haylee Gernert & The Virtual Life

July 14, 2025July 13, 2025Self 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

July 7, 2025July 6, 2025Self 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.

ONLY FOR THE FIRST 3 AND CLOSES July END.

“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.

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.
