In this captivating episode, Angel Mary sits down with Vera Rowe, a 9-time Salsa, Bachata, and Latin Hustle World Champion dancer, to uncover her incredible story of reinvention. Vera stunned her friends and family when she left behind her stable career as a math teacher to pursue an audacious dream: becoming a world-class Latin dancer. The twist? She wasn’t even Latin and had no formal dance background when she started.

Vera shares how she defied expectations, took massive risks, and faced cultural and personal challenges head-on to rise to the top of the competitive dance world. From learning to believe in herself when others doubted her, to mastering visualization, discipline, and mental toughness, Vera’s story is a blueprint for anyone ready to leave their comfort zone and chase their passion unapologetically.

This episode isn’t just about dance—it’s about taking bold steps toward the life you’ve always wanted. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to break free from the ordinary and shock the world with your potential, you won’t want to miss this powerful conversation with Vera Rowe.

*Trigger Warning* Phil La Duke discusses with Angel Mary how to stay safe in a mass shooting event.

Phil La Duke is a popular speaker & writer with more than 7,000 works in print worldwide. He has contributed to Authority, Buzzfeed, Entrepreneur, Monster, Thrive Global, and many more magazines and is published on all inhabited continents. He is the author of four books and a contributor to one more:

I Know My Shoes Are Untied! Mind Your Own Business. An Iconoclast’s View of Workers’ Safety. A visceral, no-holds-barred look at worker safety, 

Lone Gunman: Rewriting the Handbook On Workplace Violence Prevention deals with workplace violence, particularly directed at women, is listed as #16 on Pretty Progressive magazine’s list of 49 books that powerful women study in detail. 

Blood In My Pockets Is Blood On Your Hands is a step-by-step guide to getting worker safety right, 

Stop. Don’t Shoot! deals with identifying and preventing Mass Shootings. La Duke interviewed Ex-FBI Agent in Charge of Domestic Terrorism and Counter Terrorism extensively. La Duke believes this subject is so important that he sent copies to the POTUS, the VPOTUS, and every US Senator who was seated as of January 7, 2023. Perhaps not so coincidentally congress passed bipartisan legislation that addressed many issues raised in this book. 

1% Safer, to which La Duke contributed a chapter is not-for-profit book, written by the “top game-changers and global thought leaders.”

Loving An Addict: Collateral Damage Of the Opioid Epidemic is scheduled to be released in June 2024.
