The Quote Machine! One pearl of wisdom after the next, and my guest on today\\u2019s #Make Your Mark podcast, Lauren Brill, shows very clearly why she was such an impressive sports reporter, and why she is making such a positive impact with her new company, The Unsealed. It\\u2019s hard enough to put it out there that you have gone through a traumatic event, but she\\u2019s made it easier to make those small steps towards recovery by creating a forum and a community, and you will hear all about how she got it going and where she\\u2019s heading with it!\\xa0

\\u201cStarting your own business is like being dropped in the ocean and being told to go find land - it\\u2019s a roller coaster! But if you\\u2019re passionate about it, it\'s a fun ride, but there are days when I\\u2019m like \\u2018What am I doing?\\u2019, and then there are days when I\\u2019m like \\u2018I got this!\\u2019.\\u201d

What you will appreciate about Lauren is her sheer honesty, her transparency about what happened to her, and her mission to help others who have suffered through trauma. She is shedding a light on those who want a voice to speak with and creating a revolutionary platform to create bonds, growth and awareness.

\\u201cI think when people are really honest and truthful, those are the best stories. Not necessarily the most famous player or most high profile, biggest personality, it\\u2019s the people who are the most authentic and real that stand out. Their story doesn\\u2019t need to be really unique or unusual to be compelling...they just need to speak from the heart.\\u201d

This is one episode you will want to listen to all the way through, you\\u2019ll not only benefit from Lauren\\u2019s special insight, but you will be thrilled to hear about her efforts and how they are making such a positive impact with whoever she touches. Happy listening!

\\u201cI asked her what made her decide to come forward and talk about something so publicly and powerful, and she said, \\u2018I realized it was the silence of victims who allowed predators to continue with their predatory behavior,\\u2019 and I realized, there I was asking her to share her story, and I\\u2019m silent about my own...so I felt like a hypocrite.\\u201d

\\u201cCleveland picked me and I say that because it\\u2019s such a hard industry you don\\u2019t get to just say I\\u2019m going to go work in L.A or Charlotte or Buffalo, it\\u2019s where the opening is\\u2026and that\\u2019s the nature of the business. You don\\u2019t get to pick where you want to go, it picks you based on openings and opportunities.\\u201d
