NEW EPISODE DROPS TONIGHT @ 6PM. This week on How Did You Find Out, Alba sits down with friend Nick Rogers for a conversation about building a career, learning from life experiences, finding joy in the process, and redefining what success truly means.

Known today as one of San Diego’s top luxury real estate agents specializing in La Jolla and the surrounding coastal markets, Nick has built an incredible career through discipline, innovation, and a relentless commitment to growth. As the #1 Realtor at Coldwell Banker La Jolla from 2021–2025 for closed sales and recognized among the top performers globally, his success speaks for itself.

But this conversation goes far beyond real estate.

In this episode, Nick opens up about the experiences that shaped his career path, the lessons he learned from both success and setbacks, and how faith, perspective, and personal growth have helped him better understand what fulfillment actually looks like.

Because success isn’t always what the world tells you it is.

We dive into what it means to build something meaningful while staying connected to joy, purpose, and the people around you.

In this episode, we discuss:
• Building a career through consistency and long-term vision
• Lessons learned from past experiences and setbacks
• The relationship between joy and success
• Why faith plays an important role in navigating life and business
• Redefining success beyond money and achievement
• Growth, perspective, and learning to appreciate the journey

Nick’s story is a reminder that achievement means very little if you lose sight of what truly matters—and that the path to success is often really about discovering yourself along the way.

Whether you’re building a business, navigating career growth, or trying to define success on your own terms, this episode will leave you thinking differently about what it means to truly win.

Leaders don’t just talk about standards. They live them.

If you want your team to grow, you have to show them what growth looks like. If you want discipline, consistency, and results around you, it starts with the example you set every single day.

People rise to the level they can see. They watch how hard you work, how you carry yourself, how you respond under pressure, and how committed you stay when things get difficult.
The truth is, your effort gives others permission to elevate their own.

Your volume speaks volumes.�Your habits become the culture.�Your standard becomes the benchmark.
Push harder not for ego, but because someone around you is learning what excellence looks like through you.

This week on How Did You Find Out, we’re joined by Jolene Marquez, owner of Bay Park Flowers in Mission Bay, San Diego 🌸

Jolene shares her journey as a small business owner—and what leadership really looks like behind the scenes. From building a business rooted in creativity to navigating life’s harder seasons, this conversation goes far beyond flowers.

At the heart of this episode is a powerful truth: you can’t fully understand love without experiencing pain, loss, and change. Jolene opens up about how those moments—whether it’s loss, evolving friendships, or unexpected challenges—are often the very things that shape us into who we’re meant to become.

We talk about what it means to embrace the “growing pains” of life… and how those experiences deepen our appreciation for everything we’re building.
In this episode, we explore:�• What authentic leadership really looks like�• Building a creative business from the ground up�• Letting creativity guide your decisions�• Navigating loss, change, and evolving relationships�• Why growth often comes through discomfort�• Learning to embrace both the highs and the lows
Jolene’s perspective is honest, grounded, and deeply relatable—especially for anyone navigating change, building something of their own, or learning to trust the process.
Because sometimes… the hardest moments are the ones that shape us the most.

In this episode of How Did You Find Out, I sit down with Mandy Lien to talk about a hard truth many women quietly experience... what happens when your health concerns aren’t taken seriously.
This conversation explores the emotional and mental impact of feeling dismissed in medical settings, navigating women’s health concerns, and learning how to advocate for yourself when something feels wrong.
This episode touches on:
-Women’s health being dismissed
-Medical gaslighting-Self-advocacy in healthcare-Mental health impact of chronic symptoms
-Trusting your intuition about your body
-Navigating doctors who don’t listen
-Emotional burnout from unanswered health concerns
-The connection between physical health and mental health If you’ve ever felt unheard by a provider, questioned your own symptoms, or struggled to get answers about your body, this conversation will resonate deeply. Women’s health is not dramatic. It’s not “just stress.” And it’s not something to ignore.
