Harout Keosian is a dynamic attorney, entrepreneur, and community leader. A proud Ferrahian graduate and lifelong supporter of Armenian organizations, Harout’s journey started early, working alongside his father at the family auto repair shop. After earning his Business degree from CSUN and his law degree from Southwestern, he built a remarkable legal career, founding his own firm in 2009 and growing it from just two people to a team of over 55, representing more than 35,000 clients.

 

Beyond the courtroom, Harout’s entrepreneurial spirit spans real estate, venture capital, healthcare, and technology, including co-founding MyDataDeposit, a secure digital data depository. His leadership extends deeply into the community as well — having served on the Ferrahian School Board, the Encino Neighborhood Council, and currently as chairman of the Armenian Cultural Foundation.

 

Harout is not only a lawyer and businessman but also a dedicated mentor, philanthropist, and lifelong student of growth, with passions that range from cars and watches to cigars, scotch, and politics. His story is one of discipline, vision, and giving back — and I’m excited to dive into the principles and inspirations that have guided his path.

In this heartfelt episode of Breaking Through with Ellina Abovian, we sit down with Lucy Hart, a master microblading artist, licensed aesthetician, singer, mother, and resilient force of nature.

With roots in both the beauty and music worlds, Lucy’s story is anything but ordinary. At 21, she chased her dream of singing—recording with top producers, signing a label deal, and winning Hay Superstar (Armenian Idol) in 2008. But after a decade in the music industry, she returned to her first love: beauty. In 2015, she launched her own business, quickly becoming one of L.A.’s most trusted names in microblading.

Now, as a single mom and entrepreneur, Lucy shares her powerful journey of reinvention—what it means to rebuild after divorce, the strength found in female friendships, and the daily work of choosing self-love, peace, and purpose.

• Building a business from scratch in a competitive industry

This is a raw, real, and empowering conversation about transformation, starting over, and learning to thrive—no matter what life throws your way.

In this episode, I am sitting down with Phil Good … widely known as The Intuitive - a name you’re about to see everywhere. Phil has a gift that’s hard to explain but impossible to ignore. 

The moment you start opening up to him, something magical happens—messages start coming through. Whether it’s the words you use, or your overall energy, Phil picks up on what’s really going on beneath the surface. It’s like he can hear what your soul has been trying to tell you all along. 

With his strong intuitive gift, Phil can quickly spot what’s out of alignment in your life. Maybe it’s a belief that’s been holding you back. Maybe it’s a pattern you keep repeating without realizing it. Whatever it is, Phil sees it and gently helps you shift it.

You start to feel more empowered. More aligned. And before you know it, the things you’ve been waiting for: the right relationship, the job that lights you up, the clarity you’ve been craving—they start showing up. 

In this episode, Phil explains how we can all go inward to hear that special intuitive voice that’s within all of us.

In this solo episode, I share a powerful breakthrough I had during hypnosis — one that uncovered a belief I didn’t even know I was living by: that wealth wasn’t mine to create, it was a man’s job to provide. I’ll take you back to the conversations and conditioning that planted this idea, how it shaped my relationships and career, and what it feels like to finally see and release it. This is about love, money, self-worth, and rewriting the story I inherited.

Episode 55 of Breaking Through, I’m sitting down with someone I not only admire professionally, but care for personally — my friend Dr. Dave Dickie.

 

Dave works in national security as a Senior Intelligence Analyst for Peraton, where he helps guide teams operating in high-stakes, high-pressure environments. He’s a father, a husband, a coach, and someone who understands what it means to carry a lot at once — emotionally, mentally, and operationally.

 

But the reason he’s here today is because of the journey that shaped his new book, The Stoic Cheat Sheet — a book he wrote while navigating more than two years of caregiving and hospice for his father. In that season of intense responsibility — balancing family, work, caregiving, and personal resilience — Dave turned to Stoicism not as a philosophy to study, but as a toolkit to survive. And eventually, to transform.

 

Today we’re talking about strength, presence, pressure, caregiving, grief, and the kind of inner steadiness that can carry us through our hardest chapters.

Scott Minker is a husband, father, son, entrepreneur, and storyteller living his “2.0 Life” after surviving a ruptured brain aneurysm in 2024, an experience that radically transformed his understanding of success, gratitude, and purpose. What was once a relentless pursuit of performance and achievement evolved into a life guided by presence, patience, and the practice of being where his feet are.

 

After waking up blind in the ICU at UCLA, enduring 19 surgeries, and making a miraculous full recovery (beating the 17% odds), Scott is devoted to helping others experience their own awakening with the awareness that tomorrow is never guaranteed. He shares his journey as proof that growth and meaning can emerge from even the most unexpected and challenging moments.

 

Scott graduated from Georgetown University and received his MBA from the UCLA Anderson School of Management. A native Texan, he now lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Tracy, and their two teenagers.
