Tsvety Roo is a digital nomad and solo traveller on a mission to explore loneliness, self-discovery, and what it truly means to connect in today’s fast-paced world.

Her journey began when she made the bold decision to leave a successful career at a NYC agency, embrace minimalism, and step into life as a nomad. For the past two years, Tsvety has lived without a permanent home, travelling through 22 countries and visiting 37, uncovering how solo travel can lead not only to deeper connections with others but also to a more meaningful relationship with oneself.

Through raw honesty and lived experience, she shares how she broke free from isolation, embraced fear instead of waiting for it to disappear, and discovered the surprising power of meaningful connections with strangers. Along the way, she learned to slow down, stay longer in each destination, and even create “mini communities” that offered a sense of belonging.

What makes Tsvety’s story compelling isn’t just the places she’s been, but the profound inner transformation she’s undergone. Solo travel taught her to distinguish between loneliness and solitude, redefine what “home” means, and adapt with resilience when plans went awry. Travelling minimally—with just what she truly needs—became not only practical but liberating.

Her story is an invitation to step outside your comfort zone and discover how choosing the unfamiliar can transform not only the way you travel, but the way you live.

Leadership through mentorship is the heartbeat of this inspiring conversation.

Ben Dias shares how a job he took after high school to support his family—born out of necessity—grew into a fulfilling 30-year career, thanks to the guidance of remarkable mentors.

What brings Ben to the podcast, however, is a single act of kindness: a stranger repairing his broken trailer in twenty minutes, refusing payment beyond the cost of parts. That moment shifted Ben’s entire perspective on generosity, sparking a ripple effect of paying it forward that continues to shape his leadership style.

A powerful theme emerges: the evolution of emotional intelligence in leadership. Ben contrasts the days when yelling and intimidation were mistaken for strength with today’s recognition that “nothing turns somebody away quicker than continuous emotional outbursts.” True leadership, he reminds us, is defined by calm, empathy, and resilience.

His journey is both humble and profound: from modest beginnings to building a successful career, Ben’s openness to mentorship has allowed him to empower others. Perhaps most moving is hearing how his adult children now challenge and mentor him in return—a testament to the generational power of guidance.

This episode is a reminder that leadership isn’t about authority; it’s about impact, connection, and the legacy of how we make others feel.
