Denise Berry: Veteran and Entrepreneur

Denise Berry: Veteran and Entrepreneur

Author: Veronica Malolos, CCIM May 31, 2024 Duration: 17:31

This week on Women Influencers, I spoke with Denise Berry. She owns and manages Luciano Equity and Co-founded Medical Industries of the Americas after having served a 400 day deployment to Iraq as a U.S. Army Combat Medic.

We discussed the challenges she faced in her childhood and early adulthood, having been raised in the mountains of Santa Cruz, California with her brother by their Father who is disabled. When things got tough, and they did, Denise remembered the recurring dreams she had of a future where she gave public speeches and helped people in different countries.


After her deployment, Denise took the opportunity provided to her by the G.I. Bill to complete her college education, earning her Bachelor’s and her Master’s degrees at California State University. She never felt she really fit in at any of the various jobs she tried, and after a boss refused her request to leave work to care for her sick sister, she decided she would make it her mission to never have a job again and quit on the spot. As Denise said, some people are just meant to be Entrepreneurs. 


We spoke about challenges, influence, and Denise shared some great advice from Mother Theresa.

Hosted by Veronica Malolos, CCIM-Founder and CEO of Capital Stack Real Estate Group-the Women Influencers podcast moves beyond surface-level success stories to explore the nuanced realities of leadership, ambition, and personal philosophy. Each conversation delves into the practical strategies and formative experiences of women who have shaped their fields, with a particular lens on business and commercial real estate. These are not just interviews; they are deep dives into the decisions, setbacks, and pivotal moments that define a career. Veronica’s background as an operator in the Greater Orlando market informs a grounded, insightful dialogue that resonates whether you’re building a company, navigating a corporate ladder, or redefining your own path. The discussions naturally span categories from concrete business tactics to broader cultural and societal themes, reflecting the multifaceted lives these influencers lead. This podcast serves as a resource for anyone seeking authentic perspective, emphasizing that influence is cultivated through resilience and insight as much as through achievement. Listen for candid reflections on balancing ambition with life’s other demands, the philosophical underpinnings of a leadership style, and the often-unspoken challenges of carving out space in competitive industries. It’s a series dedicated to amplifying voices that not only succeed but also thoughtfully pave the way for others.
