This week, I'm so excited to introduce you to a dear friend of mine, Lucy Blehar. I've known her for around seven years now, and she's the kind of friend who always has a creative project cooking. She first moved to LA to pursue traditional acting, and after several auditions and "no's," she took matters into her own hands and started putting skits on TikTok. At almost 200,000 followers, she has wisdom to share about Hollywood, how it's changing, and why creativity shouldn't be considered an option, but rather, a duty.

Mentorship, a fancy word for the concept of having a smart cheerleader on your side. It's been a main tool and concept in my life, first I'd cold email people on Linkedin, then I'd follow up after meeting them at events, and over the years, I've built a solid team of mentors from all different walks of life that keep me accountable.Today, my guest is a professional mentor (aka executive coach), and he breaks down how to identify great mentors, and shares wisdom that you'll be able to start implementing right after you listen.

Financial literacy is one of my passions. The only way I've been able to live a global lifestyle and treat the people I love is because money has always been a priority to me; understanding it, making it, keeping it, and growing it. On today's episode, I sit with the CEO of HerFirst100k, a company dedicated towards financial literacy for women (and people who need financial literacy in general), and we get into allllll the details on why knowing more about money is an active form of protest against the system.

We talk about the truth of what it means to create entertainment and a business out of your life.

Journaling is scientifically proven to better your mood, state of mind, and overall health. That's not a mystery, but what was a mystery is what would happen if I coupled the habit of journaling with live sessions with people from all around the world. Would we be brave enough to read the pages from our journals? Turns out, we were, and now JoClub, the journal club, has grown to over 100 members in all corners of the world. Today, I speak to three of them who have been with me for over two years.

My 5 year anniversary of getting shot happened this week, and I always use this time to reset, reflect, and remember life's fragility. The war in Ukraine has shaken the world at it's core, fears of escalation have never been greater, and headlines are indicative of how sick our society is right now, so I think we're all in need of a little "evaluation." As we try and navigate this new normal of daunting headlines and grim prospects for the future, I wanted to not only capture this time in history, but also think about how to balance the big picture scary things, with not forgetting the every day blessings we do have.There are journal prompts that I highly suggest you journal:What is something you can do now, that you couldn't do last year?Do you celebrate the things you have?What can you do right now to feel more alive?YouTube videos to learn more about the war:By Johnny Harris before the invasion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJNtfyq3TDEBy RealLifeLore after the invasion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If61baWF4GEFor global discussions: Join Joclub (www.joclub.world) for live journaling sessions and use promo code notyouraveragejo for 50% off your first month.Learn a language, become a bridge to the world: Sign up for my 21 day language challenge here (https://joclub.world/21-day-language-challenge/).For more on Instagram:Show's account: https://www.instagram.com/notyouraveragejopod/Jo Franco Account: https://www.instagram.com/jo_francoJournal Prompts on JoClub: https://www.instagram.com/joclub_/ Hosted on Acast.

This is the first time I've fangirled... excuse my squeals. This episode is award-worthy and essential if you want a good boost of positivity in your life. Today, I chat with Shaun T., celebrity fitness motivator, and a brilliant man who's motivated people in much more than just the physical sense. He's gone through challenges that had the potential to break anyone's spirit, and instead, he rose to the top with his inner light and made a career of inspiring others to do the same. Can you tell I'm a super fan? This man is the reason I started working out when I was 12 years old gettin' it with his Hip Hop Abs DVD in the attic that was the seed that grew a motivated lifestyle all-together where I would create a podcast about not being average and get the chance to interview him...

It's funny, even if you grow up with someone, you really don't know what's going on in their heads until you ask them. I interview my sister on her thoughts about our childhood, we talk about how to cultivate better relationships with siblings, and get to the bottom of identity, and how it's shaped based on your environment and family dynamic.

He gave up video games, and mastered one of the hardest languages to learn in the world. I chat with actor, YouTuber, father, and language learner, Brian Wiles, about how he went from playing hours gaming every day to building a massive YouTube channel in Egyptian Arabic without ever stepping foot in Egypt. We share our language learning hacks and resources, tips on how to get over the struggles, and talk about the "why" behind it all.

Since this is the first episode, I figured we could get to know each other a little better. I had my best friend, and Egyptian soul sister, Omnia Khamis, interview me.
