I bust the glamour myth—explaining the strategy, inconsistent income, negotiation, and emotional labor behind being visible—and walk you step-by-step through my creative process from idea to published post.I talk honestly about handling negativity, comparison, and burnout; the role community plays in my work and how I cultivate it; and the toughest business skills I had to learn and why they were worth it. I explain how I treat trends—when I follow, adapt, or ignore them—and how I protect my mental health and set boundaries while living a partly public life.I also share one risk that paid off and one that didn’t, and the lessons I took from both. I close with actionable advice for anyone starting now who wants to build a meaningful presence—and a few reflections on what it feels like to create and live in Miami.Host Olyasha Novozhylova @notbasicblonde_NotBasicBlonde Podcast @nbbpodcast

Albert is also a Real Estate Investor. In 2013 Albert bought a 3 unit property and like everything else Albert does he went all in and acquired as many multi-units as possible. This would end up being a Life Changer. Albert’s original company was The Mortgage Guy and after mentorship sessions the company’s name changed to The Mortgage Guys. This was another Life Changer. Albert has been in the mortgage industry since 2005, he is a licensed Broker and Mortgage Originator. Albert went through the toughest times of his life in 2008 when we had a market recession and Mortgage Meltdown but decided to weather the storm and not quit the industry he believed in. The reason why Albert started a mortgage company was because of the pain endured by his parents and himself when they got turned down for a mortgage time after time in the early 90s. Albert always had a dream; to have a house with a big yard and a dog since he was a kid, and it never happened because of unprofessional Real Estate and Mortgage Agents. Looking back, Albert realized how his parents did qualify for a home loan but due to the incompetence of the Real Estate and Mortgage Agents helping at the time, nothing ever happened. Albert committed to start a Mortgage Company from scratch and create a company that will help humble families make their American Dream a reality. Albert’s life wasn’t always perfect and his mid 20s were full of costly mistakes that could have costed him his life.After many mistakes that led to DUI’s, almost death situations and losing everything in the 2008 Mortgage Meltdown and becoming homeless, Albert turned his life around in 2013 when he committed to self improvement and cutting the bullshit from his life one at a time. Today Albert lives his Dream Life with his wife Silvia, his daughter Italia and soon to be born Berlin in the city of Beverly Hills. HostOlyasha Novozhylova @notbasicblonde_NotBasicBlonde Podcast @nbbpodcast
