Every Tuesday night With Mariya

1st Guest Buck Martinez
Mariya Palanjian's interview with Buck Martinez
For 35 years I worked at Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), one of the nation’s leading electric utilities, where I was responsible for identifying and originating clean energy opportunities in the state of Florida to promote visibility, commitment, and economic development. A few year prior to retiring from FP&L, my daughter Krissy Webb asked me, “Who will my kids look up to?” Through the ensuing conversation, I realized that my most memorable and rewarding experiences were attained when teaching and/or coaching my three daughters and their teammates and classmates. Dedicated to the idea that every student deserves access to character education in order to succeed, me and Krissy wanted to form an organization that would help put the future of the country in prepared, capable hands. With that in mind, they started Student ACES in order to instill values into the next generation of leaders and role models.

Mariya Palanjian's interview with Chelsea Austin
Chelsea Austin is an author, speaker, certified professional coach, ELI-MP (Energy Leadership™ Index Master Practitioner) and self-worth advocate from Malibu, California raised by two of the most incredible parents, her dads. Chelsea refocused her successful real estate career to bring her story of being raised by two gay men, and use it as a platform to spread love and acceptance. She has advocated for the LGBTQ+ community since she was in high school. In 2010, Chelsea was voted one of the Top Fifteen LGBT Activists in the Los Angeles area. Graduating Magna Cum Laude from Muhlenberg College in 2015 with a degree in theatre and dance, Chelsea took her theatrical background and created a career out of sharing her experiences as the daughter of two gay men and a young woman navigating the world on her blog, “The Girl With Five Names,” her podcast, “Worthiness Warriors,” and through speaking engagements. In the spring of 2022, Chelsea published her first book, Inexplicably Me: A Story of Labels, Worthiness, and Refusing to Be Boxed In.
