https://www.amazon.com/Brand-Bewitchery-System-Spellbinding-Stories/dp/1734308117
Bio: Business storytelling is growing in popularity because leaders know it works. But it’s not working for everyone because they don’t know the narrative frameworks to follow. They try the multi-step process of The Hero’s Journey or the Pixar Way, but that’s where they get lost.
That’s why Park starts all of his executive mentees off with the ABT (And, But, Therefore) agile narrative framework where all influential and persuasive storytelling starts. Then, he graduates his clients up to the Five Primal Elements of a Short Story for Big Impact followed by his 10-step Story Cycle System™. One client deemed Park “The World’s Most Industrious Storyteller” because of his proven system that has grown brands by as much as 600 percent.
Park is a 35+ year veteran of the brand marketing game, ran his own agency, Park&Co, for 20 years, and began teaching leadership storytelling 15 years ago. He hosts the popular Business of Story podcast, which Feedspot named the #1 business storytelling podcast for 2022. The seven-year-old show is ranked among the top 10% of downloaded podcasts in the world.
A story is only as good as the villain is evil. That’s why Park helps his customers overcome boring messages by entertaining to educate, and that’s how he helps leaders excel through the stories they tell.

Some of the organizations he has worked with include Lockheed Martin, Deloitte, National GeoSpatial Intelligence Agency, Verizon, Charles Schwab, The Washington Post, NASA, Tulane University Hospital, Kaiser Permanente, and many government agencies in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, and Russia.

Bio: Dov Baron is “The Dragonist”, Inc. Magazine Top 100 Leadership Speaker, #1 Fortune 500 Podcast Host, Entrepreneur Magazine contributor, Loyalty Authority. Guiding us in how to recognize and nurture dragons (the top talent) hidden in our organizations. A Dragon Leader is not a position, it’s someone who is always pushing to improve and wants those they serve to reach their full potential. Dov’s humor and no-BS style is contagious. As a master storyteller, he is considered to be the leading authority on actualized leadership. Actualized leadership means getting the result you set out to achieve in the most meaningful manner. In June 1990, while free rock climbing, Dov fell approximately 120 feet and landed on his face. The impact shattered most of the bone structure of his face. After ten reconstructive surgeries, no external evidence remains; however, this experience wasn’t just life-changing, it has been completely transformational. Dov shares how Dragons are born in fire, experiences that could potentially destroy you, instead can birth purpose, passion, and hunger to champion others to nurture the Dragon Fire in ourselves, our families, our communities, and our companies. Dov believes the world needs more "Dragon Leaders" committed to living their purpose, standing in their truth, and empowering others to find their fire and do the same.

Contact: linkedin.com/in/lanceedwards 713-476-0102 Bio: Lance Edwards is the author of the best-selling book, "How to Make Big Money in Small Apartments." His company, First Cornerstone Group, LLC is a real estate education and marketing company which enables both new and experienced real estate investors to accelerate their path to financial independence thru small apartment investing, using other people's money. Houston Business Journal recognized Lance's company as the 13th fastest growing private company in Houston, Texas. But it all started for Lance in 2002 when he discovered real estate investing as a supplemental income source to his full-time and demanding corporate job. Thanks to his mentor’s advice, Lance skipped the traditional route of single family and started instead with multi-family. His first purchase was a four-unit small apartment building which he purchased nothing-down and with 100% seller-financing. No bank was involved. Over the next 2 ½ years he purchased and flipped 50 more properties, part-time - all using other people’s money. Within three years of his part-time start in small apartments, Lance was able to retire from his twenty-year job in 2005, and focus on real estate investing full-time. Lance has personally done apartment deals ranging in size from three units to nearly 300 units. Since 2007, he’s also taught and mentored thousands nationwide on how to get started in small apartment investing (2-30 units), using none of their own cash or credit and with no prior experience. Lance teaches, “start small and then scale-up to mid-size and large apartments.” Whether wholesaling or buying, his student success stories are those of everyday people, mostly beginners, who’s very first real estate deal was a small apartment building.

Contact info: Roger Owens http://www.rogerowenspeanutman.com Bio: Roger Owens is the famed peanut vendor who tosses bags of peanuts under-the-leg, behind-the-back, and two at a time, all with unbelievable accuracy, and to those seated even more than 30 rows away. Roger has charmed and amazed generations of fans with his "show within a show" at Dodger Stadium for nearly 45 years. But he's worked the crowds for almost 50 years if you include the Coliseum years from '58 to '61. He didn't start trick-tossing peanut bags until 1962 when the Dodgers moved into Dodger Stadium, even though he started at age 15 by selling soda at the Coliseum, and moved up the vending chain to sell peanuts in 1959, his consistent hard work and showmanship throughout the 1960's not only helped increase his growing fan base who were thrilled with his amazing tosses, but also with his growing media attention in the 1970's. Although he was the focus of a number of television appearances including news stories and game shows, Roger's career as an icon of Dodger Stadium, who brings added fun and excitement to the game was launched when he was seen nationwide on "The Tonight Show" in September, 1976, on stage with Johnny Carson, as Carson's first guest for the evening. Roger's theatrics and nutty joke telling haven't been limited to Dodger Stadium over the years. In fact, he's taken his peanut pitching to countless Rams, USC, and UCLA football games at the Coliseum, Dallas Cowboys football games once a year for 12 years straight, boxing matches, hockey games, minor league baseball games, and he even has quite a following in Japan after tossing out peanut bags at the American collegiate football all-star games for a number of years at Yokohama Stadium. There is so much fascinating information, from his personal life of traumas, obstacles, happiness, and depression, to his public life of pioneering and remarkable talent, sense of humor and a natural ability to entertain, that to try to cover all of it here would be impossible and inadequate.

Bio: Bruce began working in real estate in 2001 with tax lien foreclosures. It was during this time he learned how to research public records, to understand how title works and the legal side of real estate. He soon realized the huge opportunity in pursuing vacant homes that were not in tax lien foreclosure. By the summer of the 2002 he had picked up 3 investment homes, a duplex & a triplex. In the first year and a half he was introduced to private financing, deal partnering, cash flow and forced equity. In October of 2002 Bruce partnered with Jack Martin to form Bakerson, LLC. Bruce's knowledge for title work coupled with his ability and experience in research as well as his passion for the legal side of real estate makes each transaction that much more secure. Efficient systems within the organization are key to profitability and expansion. Bruce has a unique ability to build new systems as well as streamline existing ones. Prior to real estate Bruce was an executive recruiter for four years; two years in Minneapolis and two years in Chicago. During these four years he was the top recruiter for the company. He quickly learned what it meant to keep a full pipeline of activity. The training and experience he learned in human relations as a recruiter is invaluable. Bruce grew up in family bakery business in Minnesota. He started working with his father part-time in 1980. Over the next 16 years he was able to work in all areas of the business from baking to cake decorating to sales to deliveries. Each one of these departments gave Bruce a unique perspective to life and business: efficiency is key and life is all about the relationships we build. In 1987 Bruce moved to Finland for a year to attend a college prep school. Living in a foreign land where little English was spoken was quite the experience. He soon came to realize that the way things are done in the States is not the only way. The lesson learned was to compare and contrast and keep an open mind. Learn more about your ad choices.
