Gloria Grace Rand It's so good to see you. Yeah, we first connected a few months ago, and I'm so glad to finally have the chance to get you on the show. And I love your sunglasses. For those of you listening, you cannot see these amazing sunglasses, which she is wearing because she's also sitting in a car. Yvonne Nobles I’m in South Florida. Gloria Grace Rand Yes, well, you're lucky to have sunshine because here in central Florida, we have a bit of a rain, but most of the rain has passed us by, and so I think we're going to be good for our interview this afternoon. Yvonne Nobles Awesome. Gloria Grace Rand So I love to start off these podcasts asking our guests a little bit about their journey and specifically what got you into being this speaker and success strategist and all the wonderful things that you are involved in. So wonder if you can share with us a little bit about that. Yvonne Nobles Oh, beautiful question. I always say, when it comes to the coaching and speaking arena, those are things that choose you. And so when I look back on some of the experiences I had as a child, I was actually two years old when my dad enlisted in the military. And from there, we ended up traveling. His first huge assignment was overseas in Germany. So at the age of six, I met the man that would eventually become my husband. He was nine. So, puppy love at first, but it turned into something amazing 25 years later when our moms brought us back together. And in the midst of being apart and living life and growing up, having a lot of experiences that some would be embittered by or be full of hate or spite, you know, it was that experience in Germany meeting a bunch of Holocaust survivors, that led to me embracing, no matter what happens in life, you can find the gold, you can find positivity. And I was just so inspired by people who lived through that, and they still loved, still laughed. And I was just driven to find a way to help more people stay positive. Gloria Grace Rand Well, that is amazing. And I'm still just flabbergasted by meeting as a child. We're going to get back to this stuff, but I would love to know because I'm just curious, and I think it would be interesting, too. So how did you then reconnect what you said, like 25 years later or something? How did that happen? Yvonne Nobles Yeah, our families did kind of touch base every now and then, so I have recalls, but I don't see it vividly. I see the color, I hear the sounds, but I remember seeing each other through our teens, our early 20s. But it was that 25 year mark. My mom went to visit his mother. They're best friends that she says, guess who's here? And I'm like, who? And she goes, Lewis. And I'm like, little Lou. Put him on the phone. And I'm expecting to hear this voice that I remembered. No, the deep bass boom. And I didn't think much of that exchange. We spoke maybe a few minutes, caught up briefly, and then fast forward. A couple of days later, I get this number calling. I don't know the number, so I ignore it. But I'm on the phone with our mothers at the time. They're in the car together, and I'm like, someone's calling me. I don't know who it is. I'll get back to them later. Little did I know, my mom had given him my phone number. She didn't warn me, though. I was so upset. And I told him, I'm going to kill her. But it was the best thing ever. So you got to love moms, and you got to trust heart. I didn't mention that when we were little, we kissed. The first day we met, it was all his fault. We were playing hide and go seek. I got in trouble for it. But I did write him one of those little cute little letters that when you're a kid, do you like me? Check yes or no. And I said, I think you're so beautiful. I misspelled it. Creative license. But his mom kept that letter for years. And so when he spoke to me, he's like, do you remember that letter? And I realistically, honestly did not until I hung up the phone and everything came rushing back. And I knew two weeks after that call we were going to be married. Gloria Grace Rand Wow. Yvonne Nobles But I didn't tell him. I waited for him to ask, and when he did, he was over the moon screaming with joy, I knew. So love is just an amazing, beautiful thing. Gloria Grace Rand I love that. I love that. It's funny, I had a relationship with a boy when I was probably four or five. Yvonne Nobles Yeah? Gloria Grace Rand But what I remember about that is every time, because his mom and my mom were friends and so they would visit and so I would come along, tag along and go play with Teddy. And every time we left, we would just insult each other. That was our way of saying we would just call each other names. But it was just so silly and it's so fun. I love that. What a very cool story. So somehow along the way, you wound up starting a career. And I know you've got, I believe, well, I mentioned in your bio that you led like million dollar sales teams and things like that. But now, today, I mean, you're this success strategist. So what really got you interested in really being able to help other entrepreneurs? I presume it's, I believe it's entrepreneurs that you work with. What really got you into focusing, I guess that is focusing in on success and strategies? Yvonne Nobles Well, for the irony of anyone who are listening in your audience, life has a way of taking you the long, scenic route. So I didn't know for certain that's what I was going to end up doing. Along the way, I've had jobs and I've kind of fell into the sales arena. I always hated the thought of sales. I thought those are car salesmen or the oily guys that would knock on the doors and sell you encyclopedias when I was little. And I would go to these arenas, try a job out, I'd never follow the rules. I would always focus on connection, story, getting people to laugh, brighten their day, and getting referrals. Even if I never sold you, I knew you needed someone who might need the service. And so that eventually would lead to me outperforming teams and people who'd been there for years, when I'm new. The most ironic one to me was when I was in the cruise industry. I just lost dad. We relocated from New York and we're here in South Florida looking for something to pay the bills. And a dear friend said, you should come and try selling cruises. I've never even been on one. How could I be good at that? And she's like, trust me, I think you'd be great. She saw something I didn't even know....
