Janet Perez Eckles: Gratitude is the Secret

Janet Perez Eckles: Gratitude is the Secret

Author: Veronica Malolos, CCIM June 27, 2024 Duration: 20:27

I spoke with Janet Perez Eckles this week on the Women Influencers podcast. She is

an author, international speaker, radio host, and founder of JC Empowerment ministries. We spoke about how she overcame losing her sight to Retinitis Pigmentosa at the age of 30 and became a powerhouse of motivation.

We discussed her family’s immigration to the U.S. from Bolivia to get away from the revolutions and adversity when Janet was only 12. During her last year of college she met her first husband and they went on to have 3 children. Unfortunately, when her boys were 3, 5, and 7, Janet’s eyesight began to worsen until she was left totally blind. Despite this and many other challenges she faced, Janet was able to find solace in God’s word.


She decided that although she had blindness, blindness didn’t have her. She focused on taking care of her boys and moving forward. This led her to become a Spanish/English interpreter, and her tenacity led her to rise the ranks and become a trainer of interpreters. 


Now, she is a best-selling author and motivational speaker.

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.
