“I had no confidence, no certainty — just prayer, focus, and the willingness to keep going.”

In this episode of The Unbridled Creative, we sit down with Christina, founder of Path Personnel, to talk about what it really looks like to move forward when fear is present and clarity is missing. Christina shares her journey of stepping into a male-dominated industry without feeling qualified, learning to put the blinders on, and trusting God one step at a time. She also opens up about walking through betrayal, facing potential bankruptcy, and making the brave decision to rebuild instead of retaliate.

This conversation is for anyone who’s ever stood at the fence, unsure of the next step — but willing to take it anyway, in faith.

(Episode Summary)

Christina’s story is a powerful reminder that confidence isn’t a prerequisite for obedience. In this conversation, she shares what it was like to walk into intimidating rooms without certainty, relying on prayer, focus, and grit to keep going. Rather than waiting to feel ready, Christina chose to move — trusting God to meet her in the process. She also opens up about one of the hardest seasons of her life: being betrayed by a trusted employee, facing the possibility of losing everything she had built, and wrestling with anger, grief, and disappointment. Instead of seeking revenge, Christina chose reinvention — rebranding her company from Siller Services to Path Personnel and rebuilding with clarity, resilience, and renewed purpose.

Throughout the episode, we talk about:

• Why faith and focus matter more than confidence

• Putting the blinders on to block out fear and outside noise • Leading before you feel fully qualified • Choosing grit and grace in seasons of betrayal

• Why you don’t need permission to start over

• Trusting God in Red Sea moments — and walking forward anyway.

This episode is for the dreamers, doers, and difference-makers who are learning that obedience often comes before clarity — and that God can do powerful work through willingness, not perfection.

In this episode, we welcome Lenny Frazzitta — a man whose life reflects what it truly means to live unbridled.

Lenny grew up in Detroit with a single dream: to become a professional jockey. Despite being told he was physically disqualified and watching others doubt his future, he carried an unshakable belief that this was his calling. And that belief carried him through more than 13 years of racing, nearly 5,000 races, countless injuries, and daily physical extremes most people never see.

But Lenny’s story didn’t end at the finish line.

When the season of racing came to a close — marked by mounting injuries and the birth of his daughter — Lenny faced a new kind of fear: stepping into an entirely unfamiliar world. With no résumé, no interview experience, and no clear plan, he picked up the phone, showed up, and learned in motion. That willingness to act — without waiting for perfection — launched a second career in insurance, investments, and eventually business banking, where he now serves in a senior leadership role.

Throughout this conversation, we explore:
• Why belief has to come before clarity
• How reinvention requires action, not certainty
• What it really means to “fall forward”
• The pressure of expectations — and how they can quietly drain freedom
• Why fear isn’t a stop sign, but a signal to move

Lenny also shares powerful insights on leadership, competition, fatherhood, and why doing nothing is often more dangerous than doing the wrong thing.

This episode is for anyone who feels the pull toward something more — but hasn’t yet taken the step.

In this episode of The Unbridled Creative, Laura and Trent sit down with Guido Del Re, owner of da Vinci Pools, whose life proves that an unconventional path can still lead to extraordinary leadership and business success.

Guido shares his journey from Mozambique to South Africa, Europe, and eventually Texas, where competitive sailing pulled him out of school and into a life of discipline, risk, and adventure. Along the way, teaching sailing, running newspaper routes, and working in Tex-Mex kitchens gave him leadership skills, a strong work ethic, “kitchen Spanish,” and a deep instinct for serving people well.

He explains how farming in Arizona and Colorado became a leadership laboratory. By working side-by-side with crews in the fields, learning the numbers behind the business, and earning respect through service rather than authority, Guido discovered that people will work hardest for leaders who serve.

Guido then walks through the evolution of his pool career: the collapse of his father’s pool company, the founding of da Vinci Pools with his brother Tiago, and his decision to buy and run the business with precision. He shares his philosophy of designing pools that look like they were built with the house, selecting craftsmen whose work complements rather than competes with the home, and pricing every detail down to the penny—treating construction as both art and stewardship.

He also speaks candidly about COVID, including his decision not to raise contract prices for clients, how that nearly cost him the business, and how he and his wife Wendy had to reinvest, reinvent, and eventually embrace professional marketing leadership. His respect for the “art and science” of marketing mirrors the trust clients place in him to design their backyard sanctuaries.

This episode is for anyone who didn’t finish school, questions their leadership, or wonders how to stand out in a crowded industry. Guido’s story is a reminder that excellence, integrity, and a willingness to start again can set you apart.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How Guido went from high school dropout to professional sailor to successful business owner
• Leadership lessons learned by working alongside farm crews
• Why he makes a friend before ever selling a pool
• How he designs pools that feel integrated with the home
• The costly COVID decisions that forced smarter systems and strategy
• Why working smarter, mastering details, and knowing the numbers doubled profits
• Encouragement for parents and students who don’t fit the traditional school model
