Chiseled - We're all a work in progress - with Rob CommodariChiseled Ep 94 - Being at Peace during a Near Death Experience - Steven CericolaSteven Cericola was a bit of a wild child. One of six siblings, he was labeled by classmates as the "guy most likely to be dead at 25." But even in his heady youth, he was athletic. He started swimming in the ocean at age 10. He was a competitive distance swimmer in high school.Eventually, Steve got serious about his life, attending Johns Hopkins University part-time to earn a degree in mechanical engineering, and settling down with his wife Robyn.So, it was quite ironic that he would have a near-death experience while swimming during a family...2025-06-1836 minChiseled - We're all a work in progress - with Rob CommodariChiseled Ep 95 - Rising Up after a Fall - Greg ChaplainI have a question for all the business owners out there: Is your 2025 business plan ready?

A former CEO of 7-Eleven and Blockbuster, former head of planning at Citgo, a pilot, a sculptor, and a published author, Keyes learned from a challenging childhood that curiosity is the key not merely to get through life, but to grab the reins and run with it.Jim's start wasn't easy. One of six kids, he grew up in a three-room shack with no running water in Grafton, Mass. Overwhelmed by it all, his mother walked out on the family when he was a child, and according to Jim, the family faced crisis...2025-06-0851 minChiseled - We're all a work in progress - with Rob CommodariChiseled Ep 107 - From Career to Calling - Dale YoungDale Young seemingly made all the right moves in the 1970s, '80s, and '90s. He got an advanced education, started working for a defense contractor, and moved to Australia where he was making money and enjoying all the perks. Then one day, during a discussion about taxes with colleagues, he realized he was working at a job, not a career, and he most certainly was not following a calling. So, he mustered up some courage and organized a plan to change his life.But nothing came quickly. He moved back to the United States i...2025-06-0744 minChiseled - We're all a work in progress - with Rob CommodariChiseled Ep 98 - Next Leveling Your Life - Kyle WilsonIn this week's episode of Chiseled, I welcome Kyle Wilson to share his story.

Meeting in a church — she was there because church was always her "safe haven" and he was there because he wanted to "appease" his sister — the word reached them as a whisper in their hearts acknowledging they had met their life partner.It wasn't long afterward that they married. But even though they were destined for each other, they admit the first three years of marriage were lousy."I had no positive role models on how to subm...2025-06-0451 minChiseled - We're all a work in progress - with Rob CommodariChiseled Ep 100 - The Sound of Freedom - Paul HutchinsonIt's our 100th episode of Chiseled and I'm so excited to have Paul Hutchinson join me for this milestone.

When I reflected on my conversation with Carol Foderick, this week's guest on Chiseled, I was amused that she is known as "the hardest working woman in real estate," yet she prioritizes her life outside the office.And then it made sense to me. Working hard at a career is one thing, but creating work-life balance is a whole other level of effort. As you will learn this week, Carol is the epitome of discovering the balance between leadership and friendship, mothering and managing, and reflection and action. Carol started out in real estate wo...2025-05-2947 minChiseled - We're all a work in progress - with Rob CommodariChiseled Ep 102 - Cannonball Moments - Eric ClaytonEric A. Clayton is a born storyteller. Writing fiction as a child, his grandmother would edit Eric's fantastical stories about elves and dragons, teaching him the skills of imaginary world-building.It is no wonder, then, that as an adult, Eric loves borrowing from the colorful St. Ignatius, who helped Eric find his spirituality as a writer, first for Catholic Relief Services and now as the deputy director of communications at the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States, here in Baltimore.As Eric explains in this week's podcast, St. Ignatius of Loyola was a soldier and minor nobl...2025-05-2742 minChiseled - We're all a work in progress - with Rob CommodariChiseled Ep 103 - The Not So Secret Agent - Danny HicksI have been in real estate a long time, but Danny Hicks taught me something new this week. Many of us in the real estate industry know the trifecta of the deal — location, price, and condition. For most homebuyers, you usually have to sacrifice one criterion to get into a home. But as Danny explains this week, you can actually get all three, when you can change the location of a home. His perspective on how to make that happen is not only creative but also demonstrates the acumen of a true businessman.Danny isn't just a businessman, howe...2025-05-2643 minChiseled - We're all a work in progress - with Rob CommodariChiseled Ep 104 - Tough Times Never Last_ Tough People Do! - Blane StewartBlane Stewart was a latchkey kid, who turned his freedom into a hustle, often with severe consequences. Raised in his early years on a 100-acre farm, he was devastated by his parents' divorce, his dad's raging alcoholism, and his mom moving him and his two siblings into a two-bedroom apartment in a low-income area of the city.With his mom forced to work three jobs, Blane was left with little supervision, and he ran with it. By age 16, he owned a townhome and multiple cars, none earned by ordinary industry."I was doing bad things and...2025-05-2549 minChiseled - We're all a work in progress - with Rob CommodariChiseled Ep 106 - The Secret War Within - Brett SnodgrassEvery story is unique, but sometimes I have to chuckle at our similarities. Take Brett Snodgrass. His story sounds familiar to Brad Noll — a guest I had on way back in the early days of Chiseled, on episode 19. Brett and Brad both grew up in Indiana. They both were sons of high school basketball coaches who were loving and highly demanding. They both played basketball in college and now work in real estate. They are both men of deep faith who prioritize their children.In fact, the two know each other, but their stories lead down very d...2025-05-2448 minChiseled - We're all a work in progress - with Rob CommodariChiseled Ep 105 Spirit, Mind, Body, Results - Chicken Soup for the Soul co-author - Mark Victor HansenMark Victor Hansen is the world's No. 1 author, having sold 500 million copies of a little book series he co-wrote, called Chicken Soup for the Soul. I'm thrilled to say that he is also this week's guest on Chiseled.As a keynote speaker, author, publisher, and philanthropist, Mark is the guy whose face appears next to the words "determination" and "energy" in the dictionary. He started out being mentored in grad school by architect and inventor R.
