From losing half a million dollars in a failed restaurant venture in his twenties to founding a publishing company that's helped hundreds of authors worldwide, his journey embodies the power of perseverance and reinvention."I went bankrupt. I was broke. I was in my early 20s, couldn't even pay for a spaghetti dinner," Dominic recalls. During those darkest moments, he discovered writing as both therapy and purpose. What began as simple stories in a notebook evolved into a mission to help others share their voices.The path wasn't straightforward. Dominick spent years in pharmaceutical and insurance sales while slowly building his publishing knowledge. His first book taught him every painful lesson possible—selling away his rights, dealing with poor editing, and accepting subpar cover design. These mistakes became the foundation for Motivation Champs Publishing, created specifically to help others avoid similar pitfalls while yet enabling others to share their story.Perhaps most moving is Dominick's  deeply personal book "My Name is Sharon," chronicling his mother's decade-long battle with Alzheimer's. From this experience comes his heartfelt advice to caregivers: "Your loved one is still in there... When you were a baby, they loved you unconditionally. They didn't get mad when you couldn't respond. Now it's your time to reciprocate that."Beyond publishing, Dominick hosts a regional cable show exploring Western Pennsylvania's trails called Bikes and Hikes. Dominick also helped co-found Cre8tive Con, a place for creative entrepreneurs to share ideas, collaborate, and learn from one another. Throughout our conversation, one theme remains constant: the power of believing in yourself and helping others do the same. As Dominick puts it: "Be the best you, you can be. Nobody else can tell your story." One thing that stands out is his speech from Cre8tive Con at the 2024 inaugural conference "You've got to believe in yourself." Connect with Dominick at Motivation Champs across all social platforms and discover why his mission of sharing "inspiration, positivity, and smiles" resonates with so many.
