About 20 years ago, I was a maid here. So it's really kind of ironic. It all is a culmination of what you become, right? I was like, you know, carrying the paint cans around, doing the touch ups on the walls. It's always been a climb. It's always been a steep climb and a hard climb. But that's the magic of success, right?

Senora McBain. Senora McBain, please welcome to Miami. Welcome to the show. Gosh. Who the hell are you? Oh, my God.
- [02:12]
A
Well, you know what? It's not my first time in Miami. Actually, about 20 years ago, I was a maid here. So it's really kind of ironic. Right on that I am now here on a podcast. But, you know, all is a culmination of what you become. Right.
- [02:28]
B
Were you at the Marlin down the street? Because the Marlin's been here forever.
- [02:31]
A
I wasn't. You know what? I lived in Coral Gables and I was. I was helping a very wealthy family. They actually had like a whole monkey enclosure in their house. It was a little weird. They were Cuban. Fabulous. But over the Top wealthy.
- [02:46]
B
It's fun that you, you thrived in Miami early on, but in such a, in a very quiet, an unannounced way. And now you're here, very announced.
- [02:54]
A
Yeah. I mean, I learned a lot from my time. Right. Because I was like, I was like, you know, carrying the paint cans around, doing the touch ups on the walls, grabbing Cuban coffee at three in the morning.
- [03:05]
B
Yeah. Staying up for like three days straight after said Cuban coffee.
- [03:08]
A
Yes, exactly, exactly. But yeah, it was just, you know, my humble beginnings. I loved it. But yeah. Now here I am.
- [03:14]
B
Right on. Welcome back. It's been, I'm sure it's been quite the journey. Tell us how, how have the last two gate two decades treated you?
- [03:22]
A
Really well. I mean, nothing's ever easy. So it's in retrospect, you're always looking back and you're like, what the fuck? Right? And so now, now I'm here and. But it's, it's always been a climb. It's always been a steep climb and a hard climb. But that's, that's the magic of success. Right?
- [03:44]
B
I love it. Canadians are so beautiful. What, what is in the water in Canada? Like, I, I grew up very much with, you know, the, the Pamela Anderson's of the world. I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna mention the elephant in the room. But it was like, but it, it's like it was essentially what beauty was in the 90s and 2000. Still very much is. It's wonderful to see her come full circle, not wear the makeup.
- [04:05]
A
She's fabulous.
- [04:06]
B
I know. And she's been, she's, it's, she's reinvented herself thousand times and this, that invention, it's her authentic self. And she's with Liam Neeson now, which is a great partnership. Yeah. She's literally with a jed. You can essentially look at her, her cycle of life and be like, oh, she was in her Tommy era. She was in her mom era. What era are you in in the Barbara McBain era?
- [04:30]
A
You know what? I'm in the save the world era, you know? Yeah. For real. I mean, I'm at that point where I'm just tipping the scales to be able to utilize my wealth to do the things I want to do. For sure. That's a magical place to be. I've never cared about like having a fancy car or a fancy purse or anything like that. I love an. I want to help people with addictions, mental health. And so everything that I've created or I've been creating, you Know, it has. There's a method to my madness, of course, and hopefully it all links to, you know, each propagation of my businesses being linked to these healing sanctuaries in each city. So, I mean, it's a lot for a lot of people that go, like, there's no way this can happen. But you know what? I believe that, you know, you believe in the impossible and you make it possible.
- [05:22]
B
When you mentioned sanctuaries and when you. These, These. These places that you come and visit, what. What. What was it like before you created this? Was. Was there a. An abundance of them? Was there a lack of resources? What was a problem that you saw? And you said, I'm going to fix this and give it my twist?
- [05:39]
A
Well, I guess, you know, growing up with a single mom, growing up, my mom.
- [05:43]
B
She's right.
- [05:44]
A
Yeah, she's right there. She's filming us, you know, not having a ton of resources, seeing how difficult it was for my mom. And also the extension of, you know, a little bit of our family background. A lot of addicts in our family, you know, really tough stuff like that and growing up with that. And, like, why. Why don't the systems help? Why aren't there things to help? And, you know, it's great to, like, be a keyboard warrior or stand on a soapbox and say, like, the system is broken, but fix it. Yeah, like, we the people, right? Let's get up and fix it, man.
- [06:18]
B
Yeah, for sure. No, I love the resilience there and the tenacity there. You're literally about to film your living, your legacy. I'm sorry, your Legacy Makers episode. This is the Living youg Legacy podcast, which we're currently filming. What are we going to learn about you in your episode of Legacy Makers?
- [06:33]
A
Oh, my goodness. You know what I am? I think I would say I'm the ultimate chameleon. When I was a little girl, Whitney Houston's song I'm Every Woman came out, and I think I was about, like, seven. And I thought, that's a good idea. I should just learn how to be every kind of woman. And I actually, like, kind of embodied that. Like, I was a drywaller in high school.
- [06:54]
B
That's awesome.
- [06:54]
A
I did construction. I now own a ranch. I'm a cowgirl. I'm also kind of fancy, but then anybody that knows me knows I'm super down to earth and I'll go fishing. And I'm also a sea captain, and I own all these companies, and I've gotten into medical and education. There's just, like, I like to touch it all. Like, not in a creepy way. You know what I mean? All the good stuff in a creepy way.
- [07:15]
B
So let's talk about your outfit. Like, it takes quite a courage, but it just takes this interesting. Of knowing that we're actually wearing, not our Bruce Waynes, we're wearing our bat costumes out in public. Talk about your outfit. Talk about who you embody or your avatar.
- [07:31]
A
Yeah, absolutely. Again, like, this isn't necessarily always how people are going to see me. I have a lot of videos, you know, online, and I have a podcast called Inspire Me 362. So I've got like literally thousands of videos as well on there. And people will see that I'm always dressed very different. Cool. But yeah, I mean, I. I feel like diversity and creativity in all ways is magical. And you know what? Just being yourself, like, who cares? Judgment is like the root of all evil for sure. The minute that we project judgment onto to others, we failed.
- [08:08]
B
Yeah.
- [08:08]
A
You know what? Start with the self. Love others. Unconditional love. And you know, that's. That's how we put the pieces of this world back together.
- [08:17]
B
Yeah, it's. It's quite the contrary, folks. Like, we'll take a look at my stripes or your dress and be like, oh, that first. That person could take the heat. Like they're designed to for attention. So I'm going to throw, you know, bananas and apples at them. They can take it. No, we cannot. It hurts us. It really does.
- [08:32]
A
Yeah, well, and I think, I think sometimes it's also like, you'll dress a certain way because. And I don't know if this is true for you, but when I'm out in public, it's funny. We're just having fajitas and the guy says, oh, can I take a picture of you? I think you're famous. And I'm like, well, I'm not famous, but sure, you know, like, it's just. It's bringing your light. We all have a glow. We all have a special thing. Whether, you know, we have blue hair one day or, you know, the other side of the spectrum, maybe we have like a robe up to here and that's our vibe and it's the kaleidoscope of humanity and the extension of that. So all of the creatures on planet Earth that make this life so crazy awesome.
- [09:13]
B
I feel like what he recognized was what your. Was your radiance. So it's like, you must be famous. Of course. Yeah. With someone that has that radiance, they must be famous. So it's it's right around the corner, and it's just like the days of the celebrity of the Hollywood artists are long gone. It really is about the influencer. You really can create your own tribe. You really can be your own movie movie artist. You really can just pick up your own camera and tell your own story. And however we like here at Inside Success, we. We like, you know, thump our chest being, like, we're for. For entrepreneurs. We want to tell the. The gritty, dirty stories of what it's like to live this very lavish life. Besides the lavish, what are. What. What is your multitude of projects that you're working on today?
- [09:49]
A
Yeah, absolutely. And I would like to kind of put a caveat to that. My life is anything but lavish, and my mom will attest to that.
- [09:56]
B
Hi, mom.
- [09:58]
A
My philosophy is, you know, be the soldier. You know, you're the captain, but you. You don't really want anyone to know you're the captain.
- [10:05]
B
Soldiers look like this.
- [10:05]
A
Yeah. Oh, absolutely.
- [10:07]
B
Yeah. This is full regalia. Sure. For sure.
- [10:12]
A
But, you know, like, I'm the first to scrub the toilets. I'm the first to take out the trash. Like, I. The. The one thing I say with all my teams is, like, I'm here to serve you. Like, I'm here to serve, you know, what. What do we need to make your lives better? And that's the thing is that, like, I've hit a zone where I certainly don't have to work for the rip, like, ever again. I don't need to, but I go to work every day because I absolutely love all of the individuals that I work in conjunction with. I'm not their boss. I am, you know, the captain of the ship. Yeah, right. And we all have a role on the ship, and we're all steering it towards a certain direction. And that's fun.
- [10:48]
B
Oh, for sure. Yeah. Rudy calls it a floater. Like, as long as he's floating, I'm like, this way, Rudy. This way. We just gear the energy. I'm like, the floating is fun. This is actually me dressed up. I usually wear a cape. So if you. You catch me watching, walking around with my cape, it's because I'm just pulling a Kylo Ren. I'm just very, very obnoxious and bratty. I love it because I'm an only child. Isn't that right, mom? Please adopt. Please adopt me.
- [11:10]
A
She's the best mama in the world.
- [11:12]
B
Right on. Please adopt me. Anyways, so what do you do today? Like, I need to know. I want. I'm sure folks are watching or listening. They're like, I love her energy. She's very bribant. How can they support your cause and in return, you know, build thrives together.
- [11:27]
A
Yeah, yeah. So how you can support the cause and it's not my cause, it's the cause for planet Earth is to love yourself. The minute we love ourselves, we don't project anything onto anyone else because we are just so filled with love. And so I think what the world needs now, I'm not gonna break that into a song, but I think it's a note though.
- [11:53]
B
I was like, oh, here we go. Just waiting for this to kick out of like here it comes. Musical. Oh, it must be, it must be. It must be 1:30 on Monday. That's when the musical starts.
- [12:02]
A
It does happen. I, you know, actually make my staff dance all the time.
- [12:06]
B
You're one of those. On one of those.
- [12:09]
A
We're always tick tocking so it's fun. But yeah, I mean, essentially when you love yourself, when you see your own light and it doesn't matter what level you're at because everybody starts from the bottom and when you can just see, like I'm a special entity and I have special gifts that are unique to me.
- [12:28]
B
Oh yeah.
- [12:28]
A
And there's a progression and it's not about wealth and fame and luxury. It's about just enjoying the moment and the interactions and I mean interactions. It's like with other people, with other animals, with a butterfly, with a plant. Just enjoying that. And so again, it's not my cause. And, and then if you want a synopsis of my day, I have a ranch. I'll get up at 5 in the morning, make sure the house is all clean, jump in the truck, jump in the Denali race towards Calgary from the Rocky Mountains, arrive at my colleges, get everybody prepped, and then basically work like a dog until about, you know, 3:00pm and then my little dog. Oh, I have wiener dog.
- [13:21]
B
Oh, you better.
- [13:22]
A
Oh, I got a wiener dog.
- [13:23]
B
They got the cutest.
- [13:24]
A
So cute. So she's a little wiry wiener and she, her butt wiggles like that and she's old, she's 12 and she's missing most of her teeth. So we call her Little Snaggle Tooth. She's got a few teeth.
- [13:34]
B
She's the real boss. You're just staff.
- [13:36]
A
Oh, for sure. No, for real. She's always like, you can't do nothing if you're, if you're out of line, she's going to growl at you.
- [13:42]
B
I love it.
- [13:43]
A
So she comes to work every Day with me. And then usually it's like walk the wiener dog, you know, go to the gym, go for a snack, have a nice. I'm obsessed with cappuccinos. I have to have a cappuccino in the afternoon, you know, with my little cinnamon and raw sugar on the top. Love foam. I don't know what it is.
- [14:01]
B
It's the small victories. I love foam. Oh, yeah.
- [14:03]
A
Oh, foam is just fabulous.
- [14:05]
B
Especially on a little. Little cafe con leches here. Yeah. Where it's like a triple espresso without a foam. It's nice.
- [14:12]
A
It's. It's heavy.
- [14:12]
B
And then when you like, tip it with like a baked Cuban bread. With cup. Yeah. With butter.
- [14:17]
A
Yes. My mouth is salivating. That's what I need. This afternoon after, we'll go for one of those after. And then I do like a night shift because a lot of my other. A lot of my other companies are based overseas. So then, you know, you have to be up when the world is up and so, you know, do a night shift.
- [14:36]
B
So are you constantly on zoom calls on the phone? Like, what's your, what's your distortion field like?
- [14:42]
A
A lot of zoom, a lot of onlines. That part. I don't love the zooms because they also, you know, when you have multiple little men and women on them and then everyone's trying to talk and it's like, you know, it's just not the same as in person interaction because you don't have that body language to like.
- [15:01]
B
I hate the church chit chat. I'm like, shut up. This is.
- [15:04]
A
Get to the point. Oh, small talk. Yeah. Well, and I think that's an entrepreneur thing. Right. You're. There's just so many things that you have to get done in a day that you lose the capacity unless you've had a few drinks and it's after work. To small talk.
- [15:17]
B
Yeah, yeah, sure. It's got to be a Friday.
- [15:19]
A
Yeah, it's got to be.
- [15:20]
B
But I come from pr. I was always drinking. I was video gaming and it was PlayStation, so it was really good Japanese booze.
- [15:25]
A
Oh, that sounds fun.
- [15:26]
B
That's a terrible, terrible discussion to have, even though it was a great time in my life. But we don't talk about those days anymore. That's all good.
- [15:33]
A
The day's gone by. Right.
- [15:34]
B
Right on. So how can people find you and support your journey? Like you keep mentioning these multiverses.
- [15:40]
A
Yeah.
- [15:40]
B
Talk about the verse that you're in now.
- [15:42]
A
Okay, sure, sure. So, I mean, I have, you know, my little YouTube channel inspire me 360 massive YouTube channel. It's, it's little. It's. You know what, it's a, it was a like pet project. Right. So I just needed an outlet. I have so many students. So we work with foster kids and, you know, indigenous kids and all of these kids from the system. And it's like, how do I help to take a child that has had not the proper upbringing and no infrastructure and try to like, give them some hope? Well, I can't see every single one of them. So I started just recording these videos of like how to like transform the, the self. So I mean, that's kind of again, one of my little pet projects. So if you, you know, like my vibe and want to tune into that, it's all about kind of mental health and also self love. So how to create from the bottom, how to work through that infrastructure of the mind. Also my background, I went to university for psychology and abnormal psych. So I have that.
- [16:47]
B
Hell yeah.
- [16:48]
A
I'm not totally brain dead. I do. Even though I'm in a crazy purple suit, I do know a little bit about what I'm talking about.
- [16:53]
B
So I'm glad you landed on that because a lot of folks look at us and go like, these are just a bunch of jokers. I'm like, no, dude, like the number one reason why I work for Rudy is because he's the man in red. It's like once you understand why we're dressed the way we do and like we puppeteer through this reality, you start to realize, well, we kind of comprehend that we are operating in the fifth dimension. Speaking to the third dimension. I cannot stress that more enough.
- [17:13]
A
And not everybody's going to get that.
- [17:15]
B
Of course not. They're not supposed to.
- [17:18]
A
But yeah, yeah.
- [17:18]
B
Only the crazy people.
- [17:19]
A
Only the crazy people get, you know, the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth dimension.
- [17:23]
B
Isn't that right, Mom? She. Mom is over here on the 8th. She's chilling.
- [17:26]
A
Oh yeah, she's just, she's just like my spirit animal over here. She's just like, yes, calm down.
- [17:31]
B
Exactly.
- [17:34]
A
I remember being young and she was like. And I was dancing the laser tag. I remember it. And I was like busting out, busting a move. And Mom's just like, tone it down, calm it down. We do not.
- [17:46]
B
It was all about simmer down now
- [17:49]
A
you don't have to be so creepy in front of all of my co workers, you know, creepy mom.
- [17:53]
B
How many engagements has she turned down? How many hearts has she broken? Dozens.
- [17:58]
A
She has quite, well, several admirers.
- [18:02]
B
I'm sure.
- [18:05]
A
Yes.
- [18:06]
B
They're like standing out this door already. Okay, cool. Right on. As you should be.
- [18:13]
A
Yeah, I don't. Yeah, I don't go out. I don't. I don't say I don't party, because if I party, I'm the one creating the party. So I only invite the people I know. But you'll never see me in a club because I just. It's too much for me.
- [18:28]
B
Yeah. Only when I dj, I can tolerate the club. Only when I'm working.
- [18:30]
A
Yeah, but then you're behind. Yeah.
- [18:32]
B
And then I control the room and there's like a conversation. Nothing's by accident. I clear the floor on purpose because the club needs to make money. Like, I love club culture, but when I'm the DJ standing there going like this.
- [18:44]
A
No, and I get it. I actually took a DJ class not that long ago.
- [18:48]
B
Really?
- [18:49]
A
I was no good, but it's not that easy. I'll give you DJ class so hard.
- [18:52]
B
It's not. Can you count to four?
- [18:53]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [18:54]
B
Can you count to eight?
- [18:55]
A
Yes.
- [18:55]
B
Can you count to 16?
- [18:56]
A
Yes.
- [18:56]
B
Can you count to 32?
- [18:57]
A
Of course.
- [18:58]
B
There you did. You just DJed. I just forced. Yeah. Count the fourth time every. Every four. Something changes every eight. And then once you catch the changes, just drop the lies and the lows. It's just math. I don't hear music. I see Legos.
- [19:09]
A
Yeah.
- [19:10]
B
Yeah. Dude, I'll visually teach you how to DJ with that once. Before we launch your DJ career, how can people find you?
- [19:17]
A
Oh, I'm not sure I want them to find me, but I mean, they can. They can definitely. Like I said, they can go to Inspire Me360 on YouTube. There's Inspire Me360. My new tech company is RadiantLaser CA. My colleges are EternalBeautyInstitutes.com and the my medical centers EternalBeautyMedicalCenters.com. so, yeah, that's amazing. There's more, but I'm just not going to list all of them. And hey, I've got a charter fishing company too, if you want to go. Come fishing with me in Tamarindo Papachulo.
- [19:52]
B
I love it.
- [19:53]
A

- [20:29]
A
I have actually written many books, but you're gonna be very bored about this. They're all textbooks. Oh, hundreds of textbooks. Because I own colleges. I wrote all of the courses. 160 courses. And so lots of textbooks. But super science based, super boring.
- [20:44]
B
I am so intrigued.
- [20:46]
A
Yeah, three books are. They're written. My mom's my editor, actually.
- [20:49]
