neonjazzkc@gmail.com (Joe Dimino) — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 15:46:00 -0700

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with acclaimed entrepreneur and CEO of Virtually Aligned, Anna Brambilla.

As a founder and business leader, Anna helps entrepreneurs escape the founder bottleneck and reclaim their Zone of Genius. After personally gaining back 10 to 15 hours per week and tripling her revenue through executive-level delegation, she now works with founders who want to scale their businesses without everything running through them.

Many entrepreneurs believe their biggest constraint is marketing, strategy, or capital. Anna discovered that the real limitation is often much closer to home — how founders manage their time, decisions, and responsibilities.

In this conversation, we dive into the realities of scaling a business, the power of delegation, and how leaders can grow sustainably without burnout. Anna shares practical, experience-based insights that can help any founder move from overwhelmed to optimized.

neonjazzkc@gmail.com (Joe Dimino) — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 14:56:00 -0700

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with educator, author, speaker, and MindShifting creator Mitch Weisburgh.

Mitch is a conflict resolution expert who helps people understand what’s really happening in the brain when conversations go sideways — and how to turn conflict into collaboration. Through his MindShifting framework and his book Conflict and Collaboration, he shares practical, science-backed tools for handling difficult conversations at work, at home, and in everyday life.

His work centers on curiosity, emotional regulation, and learning how to ask better questions instead of pushing harder. After decades in education, leadership development, and conflict resolution, Mitch noticed a common pattern: smart, well-intentioned people often rely on approaches that make disagreement worse.

In this conversation, we explore the brain science behind conflict, how to stay calm under pressure, and the communication skills that can move conversations forward without damaging relationships.
