We had the good fortune of connecting with Nicky Aye and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Nicky, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
The habits that have propelled my success are rooted in an unwavering determination to never give up. No matter how bleak life may appear at any given moment, I hold firm in the belief that it will change. I’ve navigated through various phases of my life, each one preparing me for challenges like today.
Practicing meditation and yoga regularly has been transformative, helping me stay grounded in the present moment through mindful breathing. By constantly strengthening my wise mind, I’ve trained myself to always find the silver lining. To me, there’s no such thing as a bad event in life—it’s all about perspective. Every experience is either a blessing or a lesson, and ultimately, even the lessons are blessings in disguise.
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Starting as an intern at a forensic accounting firm, I’ve learned the vital importance of details, analytical and communication skills, resilience, and ethics. Balancing the human element with technical expertise, my journey from intern to a highly paid employee showcases perseverance and dedication, transforming me into a trusted expert in my field. This is just the beginning of my professional career.
Driven by a wealth of knowledge, unique traveling experiences, and a deep sense of compassion, I am now delving into passions such as Health & Wellness, helping others, and music. My resilience has been key in navigating through various challenges, and every experience has enriched my understanding and approach to life.
The lessons from my financial career serve me well in these new ventures, highlighting a journey of growth, diversification, and unwavering commitment to making a positive impact.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
First, I’d take them to all the places they want to visit, respecting their time. Depending on their mood, we could shift from an exhilarating Miami sporting event to a wild night crawl, finishing with the most delectable delicacies known to humankind. Shopping and beach time are musts, with a mix of nature to soak up the sun or the beautiful breeze. Flexibility is key—sometimes things don’t go as planned, so being ready for spontaneous fun is essential.
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to express my deepest gratitude to my Mother and Father for giving me a truly unique life and a background filled with larger-than-life characters. A huge thank you to my yoga teacher and guru, Laurie Levenstein, for her insightful, nonjudgmental, and compassionate guidance. Special thanks to Amanda and Diana, two incredible individuals who have been unwaveringly supportive throughout this journey. Love y’all!
My heartfelt appreciation goes to my brother and mentor, Joshua Angell, who has been an exemplary role model, showing me the real meaning of work ethic and the sacrifices it takes. Lastly, a shoutout to my friend Robert “Bobby Brown” Dowling, who passed away in 2019. I live every day to the fullest for him. Miss you, Brown!
