Ever wondered how social media influencers crack the code to massive growth? PrincessFrenxh pulls back the curtain on her remarkable journey from bartender to social media powerhouse with over 677,000 followers and 100 million content views.

The secret? “Dating the Algorithm.” PrincessFrenxh explains how treating social media platforms like romantic partners—giving them consistent attention throughout the day—yields exponential results. Her “breakfast, lunch, and dinner” posting strategy ensures maximum visibility across different audience segments. While most creators worry about posting too frequently, she boldly publishes 45 pieces of content daily across 15 platforms, strategically repurposing her work to maximize impact.

Another game-changer is her “Rule of Six” principle: the six people you surround yourself with determine your life trajectory within six months. When PrincessFrenxh wanted to transition fully into social media, she strategically connected with established creators, learned their methods, and integrated their practices. This transformative approach helped her go from charging $50 for promotional posts to building multiple income streams generating up to $40,000 monthly.

The assassination of President John F. Kennedy stands as one of America’s most pivotal and mysterious moments.

E37 | Diego Gomez's Dazzling Ascent: Nightclub Majesty, Culinary Conquests, and the Spirited Dance of Entrepreneurship

From Nightclub Doors to Culinary Shores: The Unstoppable Journey of Diego Gomez

In the latest episode of “Happy Hour Holidaze,” hosts Sean and Manny Febre take us on a captivating journey through the life of Diego Gomez, a man whose story is as rich and diverse as the menu at his Tampa-based restaurant, Sandrita’s. From the pulsating heart of Miami’s nightclub scene to the helm of his own culinary venture, Diego’s narrative is a testament to the power of resilience, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of success.

Early Beginnings in Miami’s Nightlife

Diego’s story begins in the vibrant city of Miami, where, as a teenager, he navigated the electric atmosphere of the nightclub scene. Starting at just 15, Diego found himself handing out VIP bands and managing some of the city’s most coveted Saturday night slots. His tales of celebrity sightings, shrewd negotiations, and the hustle required to thrive amidst the glitz and glam offer a rare glimpse into an industry marked by both its high stakes and high rewards.

However, Diego’s journey through the nightlife was not without its challenges. From layoffs at the Cundee Kendall Hotel to encounters with the shady underbelly of Miami’s fraud scene, Diego faced obstacles that would have deterred a lesser man. Yet, it was these very trials that honed his resilience and set the stage for his later successes.

A Masterclass in Pivoting with Grace

Diego’s narrative is a masterclass in the art of the pivot. When faced with personal and professional upheavals, he demonstrated an uncanny ability to adapt and thrive. His foray into the world of real estate and stock market investments, though marked by stomach-churning dips, showcased his financial acumen and entrepreneurial spirit.

But it was perhaps his accidental entanglement in a banking scam that tested Diego’s mettle like never before. Faced with the prospect of ruin, Diego’s faith and family values guided him through the storm, illustrating the depth of his character and his unwavering commitment to those he holds dear.

Culinary Ventures and the Birth of Sandrita’s

Emerging from the tumult of his earlier years, Diego turned his sights to the culinary world, channeling his entrepreneurial drive into the creation of Sandrita’s in Tampa, FL. Named affectionately after his mother, Sandrita’s is not just a restaurant; it’s a celebration of family, culture, and the simple joy of good food. Here, Diego has brought to life the flavors of his heritage, from the famed Yelena Ruth sandwich to the handmade Arepas that hark back to his Colombian roots.

Sandrita’s stands as a testament to Diego’s journey—a journey marked by its highs and lows but defined by an indomitable spirit. It’s a place where every dish tells a story, and each bite is a reminder of the resilience and hard work that have been the hallmarks of Diego’s life.

Lessons in Resilience, Faith, and Family

Listening to Diego’s story, it’s impossible not to be moved by the lessons in resilience, faith, and the importance of family that emerge. His journey from the nightclub doors of Miami to the culinary shores of Tampa is a powerful reminder that with guts and gumption, every setback can indeed set the stage for a grander comeback.

Diego’s story is more than just an account of personal and professional triumphs; it’s a blueprint for anyone facing their own set of challenges, a reminder that no matter the twists and turns, the journey is always worth it.

In this episode of “Happy Hour Holidaze,” Sean and Manny have gifted us an inspiring tale of ambition, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of dreams. Diego Gomez’s story is a beacon of hope for budding entrepreneurs, culinary enthusiasts, and anyone yearning for a splash of inspiration in their lives.
