What if doing business wasn’t just about profit—but purpose? Today on EPIC Impact™, host Steve Ramona sits down with international strategist Philippe Szolota—broadcasting live from Zagreb, Croatia—to explore how a servant’s heart changes the game in business and life.
Philippe begins as our relatable character: an entrepreneur who’s launched his business in Croatia, then expanded into the U.S. and U.K. markets, navigating cultural shifts, setbacks and breakthroughs. You’ll feel the genuine emotion when he admits four major financial failures over 15 years, yet points to one constant: “If I couldn’t help myself, I helped others.” That moment in time became his turning point.
You’ll hear the sensory detail of his global daily rhythm—from remote meetings across time zones, to the satisfying click of closing a deal for someone else—not himself. You’ll see how stepping into service before sale became his brand. And you’ll be invited into the transformation: discovering how you, the listener, can step into business not just to succeed—but to serve; not just to sell—but to uplift.
If you’re wondering how to build relationships across borders, create a culture that protects your people, and reconnect work with meaning—this episode is for you. Stay tuned, lean in, and let this story spark the next bold move in your journey.
P.S. After listening, pick one person in your network who could use a hand and reach out to help them—just one connection can open the door to your next level.

Today he leads with integrity, helping others succeed as his greatest accomplishment.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
