#12minconvos: Recent Episodes
Engel Jones
I have #12minconvos with people from all over the world over the internet. Then I meet them face to face.
Let's Explore the power of a conversation as I listen, learn and share the quest for creating a brand of Your Own Unique Real Self
I absolutely love personal development! When we become life-long learners, we can achieve great things! While completing my doctorate degree in education, I taught as an adjunct professor at five different universities in two years, then realized academia was not for me. I'd obtained a PhD, but had no desire to use those credentials in the traditional career path. After 12 years of service in nearly every role in learning and development (corporate trainer, instructional designer, program manager, and educational researcher), I found my calling. Most of us have a desire to leave a legacy, to give back, to share lessons learned from a fulfilled life. I help entrepreneurs do just that. My skills and passion are now serving a consulting business I own that helps authors and entrepreneurs transform their unique subject matter expertise into learning products that transform people’s lives. When I'm not building learning products, I am building or renovating homes in Austin, TX. In the past two years, I purchased and renovated five rental units (doing much of the work myself). Now, I earn enough passive income to do only work that I love, driving positive transformation through learning. You can learn more about my consulting company at: bydesigndevelopmentsolutions.com.

I've been running Gizoom Marketing since 1991 and through the years I have found that it's not the marketing business owners need help with. It's the ability to work "ON" the business. Not "ON" the business from the perspective that you are an absentee owner."I don't buy into that." "ON" the business like a CEO. That's why I created The Profit Protocol system. It's to help people that own or run a business or want to start a business, create a profitable entity and that builds on itself while producing crushing results that they could never achieve on their own.
Being able to watch my clients get results and make the changes needed is the reason I JUMP out of bed every morning. I love showing people exactly what works (and perhaps more importantly, what DOESN'T work) when someone learns how to scale their business and rapidly create the income, freedom, and lifestyle that they want and deserve. That's why I do this.

World Renowned Near-Death Survivor, Heart Transplant Recipient, Speaker & Humanitarian.2020 marks 10 years since I died in my husband's arms. Doctor's were unable to resuscitate me for over 90 minutes.During this time I had what medical researchers have coined as a near-death experience or NDE.It was unknown for months if I would survive. My life was saved yet everything I knew to be true about my world and identity was shattered. I was forced to close down my tech firm, confront disability and get real comfortable with the unknown.
Decoding the wisdom from my near-death experience and journey into the afterlife helped me embrace uncertainty with love and grace.
It also guided me to begin reintegrating the parts of my soul blown apart from years of subtle racism, self-hatred and collective trauma in order to realign my mind, body and soul and reconnect with the greatest, loving force on Earth.

"Gratitude is a like a muscle. The more we train this muscle to look for the good, the more good we find, AND the easier it gets.” ~ Vismaya Rubin

Vismaya coaches people on the benefits of a Gratitude Practice, how to start one, and most importantly how to maintain it during difficult times.
Vismaya’s journey began in the classroom of an inner-city school where she taught her students to find the beauty and joy in their life by shifting their perspectives despite adversity.
Knowing her message could change lives, she decided to leave the classroom and share it in the world. What started out as a hobby became the Living in GRATITUDE Today Movement. Through her own research and life experience, Vismaya learned that when we practice gratitude, we open the door for more happiness, joy, productivity, and stronger connections with the people around us.

Effective leadership training, team building, and personal development is more than a business for me, it is a calling.On a mission trip to India with a friend, I was introduced to a live-in men’s mentoring program called Alpha Academy. My passion for coaching started to take shape and set the stage for shifting from coaching and training the body to the mind.After graduating from Cal Poly State University I moved into a full-time position at Alpha Academy working with 18-25-year-old young men who were stuck or lost in life and seeking direction and hope. After relocating to the Pacific Northwest I was hired as the Human Resources Director at Christ the King Church in Bellingham. where I was introduced to the DISC assessment tool.It became apparent how profoundly the DISC tool could empower communication and connection between people and within organizations. These tools, combined with my love of coaching, was the catalyst for moving beyond faith-based mentoring and starting Gillette Solutions in 2017.When not working with clients, I’m out hiking or as an avid racquetball player, you can find me on the courts. During winter months, time is spent cross-country skiing with my family. Website: http://gillettesolutions.com/Podcast: https://gillettesolutions.podbean.com/

Ola’s riveting debut memoir; Get Your Foot Off My Neck is about a Nigerian-American girl who becomes an architect and successful creative entrepreneur despite prejudice. She also discovers a disheartening truth: bias comes from not only outside of her race but within her community too. Ola says: her life story is one that is ever shaped by culture, by geography and by a God-given eye for unique designs. Her burgeoning enterprise is the result of a directed path, a drive to see her creative vision brought to life, and the realization that limits are often an illusion. Olaʼs life is full and busy with three children---high, middle, and elementary schoolers. Her husband of seventeen years is a proud veteran of the United States Army.

From 2009-2014 Amy with her business partner and father, Jeff, worked to help build one of the largest foreclosure purchasing companies in Los Angeles, California. In their final year, the company sold $77M work of real estate, employing over 50 people not including general and subcontractors, and would have up to 60 properties in active rehab at a time. They completed well over 1,000 rehabs in Los Angeles County.
From 2015-2019 Amy and Jeff completed over 150 transactions in Colorado Springs. They established themselves as "high volume flippers" in the area, and built solid relationships in the community.
Amy was approached many times by motivated people who attended EXPENSIVE real estate training and was asked, "How do I start?" Amy built "www.learnrealestatestepbystep.com" as an answer to that question. Tired of people blowing their life savings on someone else's motivational pitches, this system is designed to support the dreamers in building their dream.
It is also designed to save the wishers from blowing their life savings. Real estate, like most businesses, takes hustle, dedication, hard-work, and direction. While Amy can provide the direction, the rest is up to the client. Some people are not cut out for this business, and shouldn't find that out after spending thousands and sometimes tens of thousands of dollars in training.
Terrence Patterson is not only the President & CEO at Paragon Multimedia LLC, he is also a grandson filled with vivid memories of stories and experience that painted an unforgettable picture by his beloved grandmother.
As a creator of content for digital, theatrical and indie film platforms, Terrence has been allowing audiences to share a glimpse into a time mixed with incredible imagination and talent with his web series, “Half Past Jump Time” (https://www.halfpastjumptime.com ).This dramatic web series is part urban, sci-fi adventure as well as a dance/ entertainment spectacle.
Created by Terrence Patterson based on conversations with his grandmother who lived during the 1920s, he recounts when he would visit her in Jacksonville, they would talk until well past midnight about how she met his grandfather and life as a woman and being black.
“Her stories were always fascinating and showcased a point in history where African Americans were celebrated for their contributions to American history.”
By the time that Terrence became an adult, that focus and spotlighting of the African American existence was gone. His brilliance successfully comes to life on the screen by combining sci-fi, the Harlem Renaissance experience and juxtapose that against the life of young African Americans in present-day New York—simply irresistible!

In 2015 I was on the tail end of a 12 year career that wasn’t bringing out the best in me, and so I chose to make a change and go against the grain of what I was taught was possible. I left my old life behind to join my wife in her online business, whilst training as a coach and studying. In 2016, a year to the day I left my old career, I certified as a High Performance Coach through the Institute of High Performance.
Today as a Performance Breakthrough Coach and speaker I am living a life full of purpose.
I am passionate about focusing on creating outer world impact through inner world mastery. My passion for mastering physical, mental and emotional performance in pursuit of my own life goals is only matched by my dedication to supporting my clients’ belief that anything is possible and available for them.
I believe that the relationship we have with ourselves is the foundational key to our own personal growth and the quality of the relationships we hold dear in our life.
As well as teaching and coaching the female entrepreneurs in my wife’s company I Heart My Life since 2015, I work with a range of very successful male and female business owners and high achievers to support them in levelling up.
I work with my clients through systematic processes to learn how to master what I calls the ‘business of you’. This idea is to support my clients in recognising that their level of performance from within will impact everything and everyone in their life.

" My two favorite words are adventure and fun. I’m not a typical Capricorn and I don’t have a normal birthday, it’s on Dec 25. I’ve always been one of those kids who doesn’t fit in the box. Early creative ideas caught my scientist parents and my early teachers by surprise, like the time I made bikinis out of soviet uniforms or snuck into a screening of “Terminator 2“ at five. In fact I was so blown away by it, I had to sneak in twice in a row. Let’s just say I’ve been feeling much happier pursuing professional ice skating than sitting at a school desk. Who cares about everyday training in -22F when you can feel that excitement of doing a live show on ice like “Red Riding Hood“, “Snow White“ . …The smell of freshly cleaned ice, the lights, the music bursting… And then came modeling. It’s not something you can pursue, just the look you have and the Russian designer Slava Zaitzev thought I had a look for his brand and a few others, like M&Ms (love chocolate) RC Cola (we went through 50 bottles shooting the commercial) and magazines like Vogue and Elle. Then, at 15, came contracts for Dior, L’Oreal, Hermes to travel to France, Tokyo, London, New York. I would wake up in the planes from the Amazon Jungle to Shanghai, to the Sahara to New York. That was the most gypsy time of my life! I gave it all up to have a baby with a man I fell in love with. It was a big leap of faith and I believe life has its magical ways . Not long after Rodrigo Prieto was looking for a model character in a short film, he wanted to direct with Elle Fanning. He was looking for someone who could portray decadence, vanity and extreme neurosis. Who new you can share all the dark sides of being human on camera! The past three years have been a rollercoaster of discoveries and stories, like playing a girl of an oldest profession with John Turturro and Woody Allen on the streets on NY, making Zoe Deschanel act even more awkward on “New Girl”, playing an FBI agent with Stana Katic on Castle , being a mean night club host with Danny McBride, Scott Caan and Bill Murray and improvising with Lisa Kudrow on The Comeback . I’m incredibly grateful for being part of the creative process and working with such incredible artists. Recently I’ve decided to get back doing live shows and found Stand Up! And I fell in love, just being in a room with total strangers sharing life at its most unexpected moments brings me a lot of joy.

From a very young age I loved baking, making candy and experimenting in the kitchen. Living in Burbank it was common to have citrus trees dotting yards, front and back. My backyard had a Meyer lemon, sweet tangerine, grapefruit and an orange tree with some of the best oranges I’ve ever eaten. My mom entertained frequently but never baked so she asked me to make desserts for her dinner parties. I can remember getting a regular request for my lemon meringue pie. The more I made it the more proficient and confident I became, the kitchen was a happy place for me. Being in the kitchen experimenting is still my happy place.
When I started college my days in the kitchen seemed numbered, I majored in filmmaking with a minor in graphic design. Following college I got married and eventually landed at Warner Bros. After a few mergers and helping launch DVD at Warners, my husband and I saw an opportunity to produce behind-the-scenes and specials for DVD. Since DVD was in its infancy we were working a lot!
As if starting a production company wasn’t enough, we were also raising twin daughters, remodeling our kitchen, and re-doing our backyard, where I planted a baby Kadota fig tree (more about that later). Even with the heavy load our production company, Pond Films, was thriving. We worked on behind the scenes content steadily for over 10 years until the projects were fewer and waning creatively. It was at this time that things began to shift for me personally as well as professionally.
My marriage was ending, I was taking care of my mom who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and my daughters were preparing for college. Under the best of circumstances starting a new business is daunting, under these circumstances it was downright crazy. Little did I know, that a chance encounter at my local Starbucks was about to give me the push I needed, exactly when I needed it. That fig tree I planted all those years ago, was mature and producing tons of figs. I used to look out at that tree with such pride, I planted it and it was thriving. But I also hated seeing the figs from it go to waste. When I was a kid I spent summers on a farm in Central California, I have fond memories of canning fruits and making jams. Between those memories and my abundant tree, something just clicked and I began to research how to make fig jam. Once again I was in my happy place, experimenting in the kitchen. After some trial and error, I finally got a recipe that I liked and began perfecting my fig jam. It wasn’t long before I was sharing my new passion with friends and family. I began making batches of fig spread and giving them out. One day while out meeting a friend for coffee, I was introduced to someone in the food industry. As it happens, he had heard about my fig spread and was interested to taste it for himself. I quickly went home, grabbed a jar from the fridge and went back to Starbucks eager to hear what a food professional thought of my homemade jam. His response could not have been better or more unexpected. After tasting my fig jam, he said he thought it was better than what was on the market, and asked if I would be interested in selling my jam for a living. I did not hesitate to say yes, and in that moment Just Jan’s was born.
Today Just Jan’s is an award winning line of artisanal, all natural fruit spreads, with a strong following and reputation for high quality and unique flavors. Each Just Jan's product still starts in Jan's kitchen, and is fine tuned until it meets her standards for texture, flavor and consistency.

So Paul started systematizing everything while empowering a team to run the business better than he could. Before he knew it his revenue doubled to almost $500k while the number of hours he worked dropped below 40. Paul then sold his business for 3x net profit.

My name is Zoe McKey, and I’m a former dishwasher, shop assistant, car factory worker, translator, international relations manager at a language school, and communication coach of a smaller Japanese organization. Add my hours spent as a high school and university student and you can see that I needed 25 hours every day.
I’ve been living on my own and supporting myself since I was 14. For years I was unable to pursue my passion. And today I’m grateful for all the things I went through.
Because of my situation, I had to learn to connect and get along with every type of person. From a young age, I had to develop my ability to understand emotional needs. With my strong self-awareness, I help people (re)gain their confidence and self-esteem so they can live a lasting balanced life.
I’m an Amazon bestselling self-help author. I consider my work to be like a pickle jar filled with different sized pickles. Each pickle represents a different solution to a problem related to confidence: personal lifestyle development, enhancing confidence, improving perseverance, overcoming fears, beating procrastination, building social skills, and many others.

I love reading great business books, but I love helping authors create them even more.When I was in high school, a Brazilian missionary lent me his tattered copy of Quest for the Best of Neiman-Marcus fame. Love at first read.As my friends gamed or read Stephen King, I devoured books on economics, entrepreneurs, titans of business, and more. Those influenced me to pursue a degree in economics, then a master’s in economic development where I wrote a thesis on microfinance from my fieldwork with Dominican loan sharks.After grad school, I landed a job in a consultancy managing nonprofits on behalf of their respective boards, first training micro-entrepreneurs through an economic development organization and then serving as the administrator for a program that sheltered and cared for teen mothers and their children.Upon returning to Louisiana, I worked as the in-house consultant for a $30 million family company group, spearheading new projects and even assuming responsibility of a $2 million company for months during a leadership crisis.I finally took the leap: a coworker and I started our own IT company. I found out the hard way that I’m not an IT guy. (Going a whole winter without central heat was a clue.) Once I fired myself, the company took off. Today, it’s one of the best service providers in Baton Rouge. My failure was a blessing in disguise: while broke, I started a copywriting side-hustle that turned into my full-time practice.One day, I found someone wanting to write a business book. That led to creating a profession where I read and write business books all day—a literal dream come true.In the ensuing decade, I’ve worked with inspiring business leaders and publishing professionals all over the world, in addition to training ghostwriters from Argentina to Italy on infusing entrepreneurship into their writing practice.I’m on a mission to help business authors share their brilliance with the world. I’d love to see the same for you.

South African climber Cathy O’Dowd is an internationally renowned motivational speaker and mountaineer. She was the first woman in the world to climb Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain, from both its north and south sides. Her first ascent of Everest happened in the midst of the chaotic events that form of the basis of the ‘true story’ behind the Hollywood movie Everest.Cathy, who grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa, has climbed ever since leaving school. She was completing her Masters degree in Journalism, while working as university lecturer, when she saw a newspaper advert for a place on the 1st South African Everest Expedition. Six months later she was the first South African to summit Everest. Three years later she became the first woman in the world to climb the mountain from both sides. Finally she made one last expedition to Everest to try a new route on the Kangshung face. She has written a book about her Everest experiences, Just For The Love Of It.The years she spent in the Himalaya were for her a degree ‘in living’. The insights she discovered about herself, and about individuals and teams under intense stress in the face of overwhelming challenge, are ones she has been sharing with her corporate audiences ever since. Her stories touch on themes of importance to anyone trying to run successful projects and get the best out of people.Cathy’s most challenging Himalayan epic was as part of team forging a new route on an 8000 metre peak. Although Cathy herself did not reach the summit, two of her teammates did, doing the first ascent of Nanga Parbat via the Mazeno ridge, and winning the prestigious Piolet d’Or for their achievement. She has turned this experience into a fascinating interactive case-study of successful project execution of truly innovative goals.Cathy has been a professional speaker for over 20 years and has presented her message to companies in 44 countries on six continents. She is a Fellow of the Professional Speaking Association of UK/Ireland, who have given her their highest award, the Professional Speaking Award of Excellence.

International Keynote Speaker, Mental Health Consultant, Psychotherapist, Executive Coach, Podcast Host, Training Provider. Raised in a cult, Petra’s story is one of courage in the face of adversity. She believes if we utilise empathy and generate human connection at work we can create mentally healthy workplaces and enhance productivity.
Petra Velzeboerwas born into the infamous Children of God cult where she was raised with the pressure of saving the world, with no formal education to speak of or resources on how to make it in the outside world. At 22 she moved to the UK pregnant, isolated from her family and support groups she tried as best she could to just be normal and fit into life on the outside. At 25, with 2 children and a boyfriend who went out to work, she experienced chronic isolation, depression and sank into alcohol dependence leading to suicidal ideation and destructive behaviours. There was a moment in time when she realised she had a choice. She could either end everything now or she could give herself a deadline to figure out if there was a way to be happy and fulfilled in life. She gave herself a secret deadline of one year to figure it out. She utilised this time to observe people, read and begin her education as a psychotherapist. She experimented on her own life in every form imaginable from exercise, learning, meditation, joining support groups, asking people questions, attending events and practicing everything she learned on herself. After the year past she realised everything wasn’t perfect but she no longer wanted to end it all and in 2012 she completed her MSc in Psychodynamics of Human Development. The girl who had no education had achieved something she never thought she could. Her career has spanned working with young offenders, with mental health charity’s such as Young Minds, working as Clinical Director of an EAP and running her own practice since 2009. She now runs a thriving Mental Health consultancy which includes training leaders in mental health awareness, advising organisations on their mental health strategy, executive coaching for leaders wanting to create healthy workplaces and giving keynotes on mental health, authenticity and creating the best place to work.
Petra knows that the world of work is changing and organisations who are ahead of the curve in mental health innovation, retain staff, avoid long term absences, create safer places to work and are ultimately more productive environments. Petra hosts two podcasts covering the topics of resilience, mindset and mental health: Adversity to Advantage https://apple.co/2JbXEu7

Bob Minhas builds experts. His seventeen-year career building his own expert brand and coaching entrepreneurs have guided him to master the difference between entrepreneur and authority. He began by building a quarter million dollar tech business with no advertising that garnered him celebrity status with appearances on HGTV. His business volume grew, but his business acumen was still developing. After a devastating life event, he realized he failed to build a business and life that was stable, sustainable or scalable. He lost it all: his home, his family, and his business.Over the next several years Bob coached aspiring business owners and established entrepreneurs ready to level up with his unique approach of combined intuition and business sensibility. He was recruited for his entrepreneur spirit and effective skills by regional government small business development offices, but Bob just couldn’t conform to the controlled and unimaginative procedures of the public sector. His workshops and presentations were calling him to something more.At one of the lowest points in his career Bob wrote, in a single night, the book concept that would change his career and his life. From Addict to Expert maps his journey of dysfunction with business and people, and his recovery to live in a place of authenticity despite financial hardships and lost friendships. Bob began first to understand himself, changing his view of success and purpose. He began studying under high level coaching, using new knowledge and past experience to create his own unique actionable steps. He also surrounded himself with a positive network of people; strategic alliances to support his personal life and his career.He has now coached over 500 clients through workshops and individual coaching. He offers live workshops and online success strategies for small business and digital media, and individual coaching for experts. He is a student first, continuing to engage in business and soul work. He is a master networker and connector. He embraces opportunities as a workshop leader and speaker to deliver valuable content and fluid connection to his audience. His humour and personal story captivate and inspire. And he has the unique ability to mold examples and solutions in the moment for specific business inquiries, while staying on his teaching platform.Bob is a proud father to three future leaders. He can be found centring on a yoga mat, spouting off lyrics from 90’s pop music, or nerding out over learning something new when he isn’t working.Connect with Bob: https://bobminhas.as.me

I feel extremely blessed to be able to follow my heart and passion to help others through sharing years of experience across a range of industries. When asked what I do, the short answer is: “I help people, help people!”
After spending more than thirty years in the sales, marketing, training, management, and speaking arenas, I am uniquely qualified to help individuals and organizations achieve the success they desire.
With vast experience over a range of industries, my value-added conceptual expertise in all aspects of business shouts out loud and clear.
While going to the University of Iowa on a football scholarship, I became a licensed life insurance agent at the age of eighteen. In his first month in business, I sold over a quarter million dollars worth of insurance. It’s not hard to understand that with the years of personal selling background I have embodied, armed with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree with majors in marketing and insurance, I possess the expertise necessary to educate, empower, and inspire others to achieve “their” success.
Since my years at Iowa, I’ve worked for and with Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, service organizations and individuals, to not only grow personally but to prepare me with a breadth of knowledge and experience to aid in sharing that collection of expertise.
When it comes to understanding the opportunity at hand, there are few others that can grasp the issues, diagnose the problems, design the remedy, and implement the cure as well. As an Internationally acclaimed Trainer, Speaker, Author, Success Expert and Philanthropist, I’m honored to have led the field in training others, presenting as a top professional speaker, writing inspiration works with practical application and executing the very success strategies I teaches.
My goal is to maximize the potential and God-given talents of all the individuals and organizations I encounter. I work from the understanding that “to whom much is entrusted-much is expected”!

Cynthia Cummins sells houses in San Francisco. It’s arguably the most daunting real estate market in the U.S., where winning a 900 square-foot, 2 bedroom condo means coughing up $1.2 million in cash and doing battle with five other buyers for that dubious honor. It’s a pressure cooker where commerce and human emotions collide, and in her 30 years spent swimming in that soup, Cynthia has gained a lot of wisdom about the psychology of seeking shelter. Buying or selling property is a focus for the manifestation of every desire, neurosis, dream or value a human being can possess. And real estate is, first and foremost, about home and its deepest meaning. It’s not merely a transaction. It’s a transition. And – if you’re lucky – it offers a chance for transformation and healing. Her popular blog RealEstateTherapy.org explores the rich and complex narrative behind every home sale and reveals the ideas and guidelines that can make the experience a rewarding, life-affirming journey.

That might be helping you understand the true cost of the products and services your organisation supplies and the customers you serve. I help my consulting clients understand the economics of their business model and reshape it to maximise value. Ive helped private sector clients optimise profits and public sector clients deliver better value for money.I’ve been at the heart of business change projects for over 20 years, often supplying the key numbers that shape the transformation to the management team. Numbers and insight that their own finance people were unable to provide. These days I still consult, but I spend most of my time passing these skills on to other accountants and finance people like you. Most finance teams are too embedded in the accounts and the reporting spreadsheets to step back and understand the real picture. I'll help you build your skills, use the right tools and techniques, and create the time that will allow you to become a vital and visionary member of your business team. In the 2020s you need to be a very different accountant to your predecessors. You need to be tech savvy, embrace change and learn to use your unique insight to advise your colleagues. Its a tall order!Do you need help supporting your organisation to maximise value or reduce cost? To set Zero Based Budgets that focus your managers on the organisation's priorities? Maybe you need help with strategy and business plans, or maybe you struggle to report the right information to let you know you are on course to deliver those plans?I can help through coaching and mentoring, through delivering training for you and your team, or with hands on consulting support to get the change project done.

In a very uncertain world, entrepreneurs like Nigel Bennett are our best hope for the future. At a young age, Nigel was shocked to witness first-hand the real impact of oil spills on our natural world. After almost being shot down by FARC guerrillas on the Venezuela-Colombia border and being forced to escape Egypt while working for his father’s oil spill contingency planning company, he decided to break away and start Aqua-Guard Spill Response. Aqua-Guard now provides equipment and services that protect water, the planet’s most precious resource, in over 100 countries. His extraordinary journey from dyslexic high school graduate to global entrepreneur, adventurer and philanthropist has much to teach us about responsibility, freedom and the bravery that surfaces in moments when everything is on the line.
In Nigel’s book Take That Leap - Risking It All for What Really Matters, he recounts his unanticipated adventures as an entrepreneur, emerging philanthropist and always avid outdoorsman. Readers get a peek inside Nigel’s head as he negotiates deals with the big boys and wrestles with the myths surrounding work/life balance and being an entrepreneur. He takes readers along the crazy challenges of simultaneously launching a startup and a family all the way through to the even zanier challenges of becoming a steward of Pachamama (Mother Nature). He shares how he tested his limits in extreme outdoor adventures, built homes for the homeless with his wife and children, and discovered his big “Why?” with the indigenous people of the Amazon.

Jerri Williams has always been a storyteller and, after serving 26 years as a special agent in the FBI, she has plenty of stories to tell. During most of her Bureau career, she worked major economic fraud investigations and was amazed at the schemes con-artist and corrupt corporate and public officials would devise to steal other people’s money. She has also had the opportunity to work bank robberies and drug investigations. The one thing she knows for sure is, “With a gun, you can steal hundreds. With a pen, you can steal millions.”
Jerri is on a mission to show the public who the FBI is and what the FBI does through her books, podcast, and blog. Using her prior professional experiences with scams and schemers, the novels in her FBI Philadelphia Corruption Squad series – Pay To Play and Greedy Givers – feature a strong but flawed female FBI agent protagonist with a troubled past. In her non-fiction book FBI Myths and Misconceptions: A Manual for Armchair Detectives, she discusses the top 20 clichés and misconceptions about the FBI in books, TV, and movies, and provides a reality check regarding FBI procedures. Throughout the fun and fact-filled book, she includes quotes from retired agents about how the FBI really works and reviews popular films and fiction featuring FBI characters. Her books are available worldwide, wherever books are sold.
Jerri is the producer and host of FBI Retired Case File Review, a true crime and history podcast where she interviews retired FBI agents about their high-profile cases and careers. With nearly 200 episodes, the podcast has been downloaded more than 3 million times and has listeners from around the world. FBI Retired Case File Review can be accessed on Jerri’s website, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, Pandora, and other popular podcast apps, as well as YouTube.

Born and raised in Mexico City (D.F.) from 1958 to 1987, Rafael Carreras studied for his undergraduate degree in Economics (Mexico City) followed by a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in a joint programme between Notre Dame University (USA) and the London Graduate School of Business (England).
His professional career started as a professor of economics and finance in the Mexican banking system. He immigrated to Canada in 1987, where he concentrated on the creation and promotion of businesses under the ‘turnkey operation’ concept. He assisted the Ministry of Economic Development at the time and created a database for businesses in the service industry for the BC provincial government.
In conjunction with government and banking programs, he worked to assist foreign business investors and local entrepreneurs establish and run proactive and successful businesses. He assisted his various clients throughout their start-up stage and helped them achieve their break-even point in the shortest and most efficient time possible, minimizing their risks and expanding their real potential.
Carreras has acquired extensive professional experience in North America (Mexico, United States and Canada) and has traveled considerably for business and research throughout Europe, Asia and the American continent. All his research has been based on a compelling, detailed and deep logical thinking framework with a results-oriented attitude.
AS AN AUTHOR His passion for writing is fuelled by the desire to open people’s eyes to what is happening around them. He trusts this will improve their lifestyle and bring harmony to their lives. Throughout his “Runaway Trilogy”, an important goal is to bring awareness regarding the delicate situation Planet Earth is going through. He wants to share his experience and points of view for others to learn and benefit from the way he perceives this world and its progressive changes. As an author, he does not try to change people’s views. Backed by real-life experience and scientific evidence, his main goal is to create awareness of the real situation our societies and surroundings are going through. It is up to the readers to make an informed decision and act wisely. Always motivated by trust and hard work, the author hopes his readers see their reality in a different light, and perhaps, motivate them to protect their society, environment, and ecosystem above and beyond the search for money and power.
Carreras does his best to experience life from a realistic, responsible, and pragmatic perspective. This trilogy has been written with a down-to-earth and rational approach for anyone to understand and apply to improve their lifestyle if they choose to do so. All his groundwork, structure and conclusions are based on existing research platforms of well-known authors, scientists, book and magazine publications, newspapers, and the web. All this is backed by extensive travel experience and systematic evaluation. He is observant and detailed-oriented, trying always to uncover the truth, with a humble and respectful approach in spirit and to the best of his abilities.

After 22 years as an entrepreneur myself, some of the common questions I’m asked most often are:What I Do: I teach entrepreneurs a proven system based on the five pillars for building and sustaining a successful business while avoiding any fluffy gimmicks or janky stuff that doesn’t work long term.Making a plan vs. just winging it hoping for the best is a long tough road to travel, if you fail to plan you plan to fail!After all, we want to, “fail fast and fail forward.”This journey starts and ends with you as an entrepreneur and, for the majority of the time we have to fight our own inner demons that pop up along our way to success.Like what you read?

Kim has spent almost a decade working for some of the most successful Fortune 500 companies. She has sold to entrepreneurs, business owners, and C-levels of international conglomerates. But it wasn’t until she left sales that she truly understood her desire to empower others to do sales in a different way in order to bring better, more reliable results.

Kim’s book “Finding (My)Self (Love): One Girl’s Journey Across 17 Countries Across 4 Continents in 6 Months.” was the first outcome of that time away from sales.
The second was a huge realization. Kim realized that she loved sales. And she wanted to help more people love sales too.
She wanted to show more businesses and entrepreneurs a better way to connect with people and create lasting relationships that would lead to sales results. This was the start of her transition into international speaking, the creation of KO Sales U and her Group Coaching programs.

I have a passion for solution architecture. Having worked in many lead roles over the past 13 years, I’ve gained vast experience in software implementation – from web applications to mobile apps to platform architecture. The sweet spot for me is creating solutions that impact peoples lives, and doing so by applying development best practices, methodologies and building world class user experiences. When I’m not being a geek or reading old calculus books, I can be found chasing after my beautiful bride, being chased by my kids, enjoying a good cup o’ joe, playing my guitar(s) or being outdoors.
Why I love building software….
It’s the intersection of the left and right brain, technology meets creativity, engineering meets art – the balance between structure and a free spirit. But more than what it does for me, I enjoy seeing lives impacted by creative technology and elegant solutions.

Florian created the idea for “more happiness through focus on less” during his time as an international headhunter in the finance industry which has improved ever since. During Florians headhunter years his clients were international companies. To meet their demands he chased and placed managers. Florians focus shifted over time from the companies point of view to the individuals. For him the individuals personal motivations to change jobs became more important than the companies profits when hiring the cheapest individual available.
- What made people move?
- Was it only the money?
- Was it the challenge?
- Did they want to run away?
- Were they looking for the special?
- What motivated them to continuously leave friends and family behind to chase the best job available?
And why do other turn down a really good offer, for example to stay in a certain city? Especially the years of 2007 and 2008 were the golden years in headhunting in investment banking. It seemed to exist only one direction: higher, faster, further and more expensive. The short term profit seemed to be all that mattered and everything else had to stay behind. Although many of Florians candidates were incredibly successful, they were often not really happy. This showed especially when in September 2008 the investment bank Lehman Brother went broke over night. As a result many – perceived? – values vanished into nowhere. With the credit crunch the crisis became a problem to the entire world. All of a sudden, it became obvious, that the finance industry was not sustainable. Many people got the feeling to have worked for 10 to 15 years for nothing lasting. They haven’t created values in peoples life.
Florian started to question what the different personal motivation could be:
- what motivates people in a positive manner?
- what creates a lasting exhilaration?
- what lets people find themselves?
- how do goals look like that are sustainable for yourself and your surrounding?
These more general questions were accompanied by the growing frustration that as a headhunter mostly you can’t make a lasting difference with the placements. Florians job was done when company and candidate met and the tricky part of working together began. So he was not enabled to work on any longterm visions, strategies or solutions that lead to lasting changes. 2009 Florian started Glücklichtrainer being an independent consultancy focusing on individual pursuit of happiness as the main driver for success. Positiv motivation is stronger and more inspiring than an avoiding and escaping motivation. Hence the individual differences are huge which makes it so important to grant this issue the necessary space – may it be in private or business context. The one who knows for which goals he is reaching reaches more. And we want to make a difference in peoples life.
Live the life you love!

MY MESSAGE: Shifting your focus from getting to giving (giving meaning constantly and consistently providing value to others) is not only personally fulfilling; it’s also the most financially profitable way of doing business.
It's a subtle shift in focus...and it works. Hundreds of letters from individuals and company leaders confirm that this key mindset shift as part of The Go-Giver methodology has accounted for a dramatic change in their business both on an individual and team level. This includes more enjoyment, greater productivity, an increase in customer loyalty, additional referrals, and a significantly increased bottom line.
After all, money is an echo of value. It’s the thunder to values lightning. And, that the amount of money you make is directly proportional to how many people you serve and how well you serve them.
THE PREMISE: It’s all based on my international bestselling book “The Go-Giver,” which has sold more than 925,000 copies to date and has been translated into 28 different languages worldwide.
MY PLATFORM: For the past 25 years, past I’ve shared this powerful concept in front of audiences ranging from 50 to 15,000 at hundreds of events, conferences and professional gatherings around the world. This includes sharing the stage with top business leaders, Olympic athletes and even a former U.S. President.
THE GO-GIVER PODCAST: Sell more, lead better, be more influential, and live a life of significance!
Based around the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success from the book, you’ll learn how to naturally create a life of joy and prosperity. Each show I share brief yet powerful insights and interview notables including today’s top entrepreneurs, business, and thought leaders.

My programs combine fitness, yoga, nutrition and mindfulness. Reducing stress is key in the journey to a healthy life. This is more than a fitness and nutrition program, it is about addressing all aspects of your health.
I also enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with small groups or larger audiences. The opportunity to empower others to develop healthy habits is something I am passionate about.
My training includes a Yoga Teacher Training Certification, a Personal Trainer Specialist Certification and Holistic Nutrition. My 6 months transformational health and Wellness Coaching program has brought some amazing changes to a wide variety of clients who are local to me or connect virtually.

I've spent over 10 years in the HR Industry. I started as a Human Resources Assistant and ended up in the boardroom as a Chief Executive Officer of an HR consulting firm.

After overcoming drug addiction, PTSD from fighting the war in Iraq with the Marines (where one of his jobs was to walk in front of our vehicles to find explosives), depression and alcoholism that pushed him to the brink of suicide, Akshay Nanavati has since built a global business, run ultramarathons, spent 7 days in pitch darkness, isolation and silence, and explored the most hostile environments on the planet, from mountains to caves to polar icecaps.
Combining his life experience with years of research in science and spirituality, he wrote a book called “Fearvana: The Revolutionary Science of How to Turn Fear Into Health, Wealth and Happiness.”
About the book, the Dalai Lama said “Fearvana inspires us to look beyond our own agonizing experiences and find the positive side of our lives.” All the profits from the book are going toward charity.
Akshay is now on a mission to help our entire human family build a positive relationship to suffering in order to create a life of boundless bliss.

As a Speaker, I inspire audiences to connect confidently and authentically with the people in our world - customers, colleagues, employees, employers, family, friends and strangers.
Confident, authentic connection creates transformation!
I speak about living purposefully, connecting powerfully and authentically, and how to understand your mind and brain to get things done with the greatest effectiveness.
I engage your audience to think for themselves.
I love facilitating thinking, generating insights - helping make new connections in the brain - and new social connections.
Your world expands with every person you meet, and I bring out the best in an audience so that they connect with others in an authentic way, creating connections that last - and positive impacts in communities.
As a Coach
I unpack thinking, generate insights and facilitate transformative, lasting change.
I ask the questions no-one else will ask you. Questions without agenda - except yours. When you put your agenda and ideas on the table, I put mine aside to serve you to do your best thinking, to engage your creativity and problem-solving skills.
I bring my ongoing learning from the field of social neuroscience and leadership coaching to unpack the leaders thinking. This generates insight which we pay attention to, strengthen and take action on. This facilitates transformation.
Clients lead an organisation, a department or team and are responsible for their own success and the success of others. They develop self-leadership and improve their leadership of others. They create new thinking habits that support ongoing transformation.
Connect with me if you want these kind of results!
Places are limited but please ask! I'll help you find the right coach.

I’ve always been a sensitive being, ever since I was a kid, I would be devastated if someone was treated poorly or thought poorly of themselves. I could not understand why people couldn’t see the the magic that resided within them. Most poignantly, I felt this most deeply, when I experienced the death of two dear friends that never received what they most longed for in life, to be loved and accepted, never understanding they were the key to access it all.
Being a sensitive soul, as I am sure you can imagine (or perhaps can relate), I too struggled. I was bullied horribly in school and at home, and as a result became so seperated from the understanding of my value and who I was, that I became deeply challenged in my ability to connect with others in any way that honored me.
My coping mechanism was perfectionism and people pleasing - not a good combo. Which resulted in years of making choices that did not reflect the aunthentic nature of who I was, or my innate value. After MANY shitty relationships, which included unhealthy ones with my body, my feminine nature, sex, and people in general; partnered with the cataclysmic life event of losing my beloved mother, I unwittingly (and not so gracefully) began my journey back home to myself. I began to look within instead of without. I reconnected with that sensitive little girl that had been doing her utmost to keep me safe amidst a treasure trove of self limiting beliefs and poor life choices as proof that I wasn’t good enough, and let her off the hook. As my awareness grew, I made the brave and conscious choice to dive into my own proverbial deep end, to start doing the loving work of clearing and cleaning up what had been keeping me from the truth of mySelf.
That I am worthy and capable of giving and receiving great love.
Now, I am no longer devastated when I witness others not loving and valuing themselves, because now, I can help.
My first loving reminder to you… your path back home to you has been there all along. Let me show you the way.

I help 2 types of learners:
1) Education Seekers or Lifelong learning enthusiasts
Q: How I help them ?
Ans: Since the start of my career in 2009, at ACE Overseas Education Consultants, I have been helping students become global citizens by helping them choose and decide on higher education options outside their own country.
University admission success case studies include students who have secured admissions at universities around the globe in 17 countries.
Online admission success case studies include 30+ year young students (Yes! I was told by Brigadier Sushil Bhasin -an amazing friend, who says, we should always say how young we are and not how old we are!) who have secured seats in online courses (specifically chosen for them from courses of universities like MIT or Harvard, and from courses of teachers who have their own online school like Tony Robbins or Brendon Burchard). This online course admission assistance is usually for mid-aged professionals or business professionals who want to fast track their growth and success, and understand the importance of learning from those who have already achieved the growth they want to achieve.
Then, as far as the second type of people are considered, it is actually a sub-set of the first type of people I help
2) Women in Business - Especially in coaching, consulting or speaking business (aka Wisdom Business Professionals)
Q: How I help them?
Ans: Since the start of 2020, at MindWaves Business School, I added responsibility to my charter, to help women in business become global citizens by helping them get more international clients through my online summits and online courses.

A freak accident in 2011 sent my life into a tailspin. I later decided that I didn’t want to just move onto the next stage of my life, I wanted to rock it! Drumming helped me heal and I use it to help others.
I started out as a percussionist in a church band and experienced first-hand how drumming reduces stress and ADHD issues and promotes physical and emotional healing. What I do can be described as drum therapy with a rock twist.
This isn't a drum circle or African drumming. It's something completely different. It's fun but it's also therapeutic. I also often share encouragement to help people see their potential so they can be the person God created them to be.
Drumming can be combined with a motivational talk, a workshop or retreat, or a corporate team-building, health and wellness, or empowerment program. It's also very effective when combined with ADHD coaching. It's easy and loads of fun! I also have a special program for Christian groups and individuals, as well as a drumming ministry.
My bounce-back story plus tips for creatives are featured in my best-selling book, "Find Your Divine Rhythm: A Creative's Success Formula" ( http://amzn.to/1NYTMYP ). I also teach free hand drumming classes, perform, and I'm a Toca percussion artist.
Life’s short! It's time to rise up and rock!
For booking or questions, contact me at 919-906-7842 or dori@nextstagedrumming.com.
Specialties: Mentoring creative kids and adults with ADHD issues, Christian entrepreneurs, therapeutic drumming, drum therapy, health and wellness, team building, youth empowerment, entrepreneurship, ADHD, giftedness

Michael McGreevy is a professionally trained coach who helps successful leaders find assurance of their purpose and a deeper sense of confidence. He has helped hundreds of people break through their self-limiting beliefs and find massive success in business and relationships. Through his personal struggles with fear and insecurity, he has found the secret sauce that makes people come alive and become who they were made to be.
Beginning in high school, he spent over a decade shackled by anxiety and low self-esteem. His grades, musical potential, athletic ability, relationships and future plans were all a shadow of what they could’ve been. His fear was so debilitating at one point, he didn’t want to live anymore.
His rescue came in the form of… tragedy. He saw a friend fall two stories to his death on a construction site. The memory of seeing his friend’s parents pain will never leave his mind. It’s the same memory that gave him the strength to save two family friends from drowning.
For the first time in his life, he believed he had something significant to offer the world. His passion for helping people come alive was born.
He has since been on a quest to help as many leaders as possible discover who they were truly made to be and take hold of their lives with confidence. He’s spent countless hours studying the craft of coaching under industry experts Dan Miller and Christopher McCluskey.
Michael is also known for his role as co-host for the Entrepreneurial Family Man Podcast. https://efmlife.com
Michael is a man of faith, a devoted husband, a family man to the core and an entrepreneur. He lives in Buffalo, New York with his wife Lydia, his two sons Gunnar & Asher and his daughter Skylar.

Lesley Pyne- Lesley Pyne: I believe that it is possible to have a fulfilling life as a childless woman.
In my book ‘Finding Joy Beyond Childlessness: Inspiring Stories To Guide You To A Fulfilling Life’ I use my own life experience as a childless woman, those of 19 others, and my skills as a coach and NLP Master Practitioner to guide readers gently through the pain they’re feeling and out the other side to finding their joy again.
I spent the first 50plus years of my life putting everything I didn’t want to feel in a box, including her grief following multiple failed fertility treatments and the loss of both parents. In the process of writing this book I dug deeply into the subjects she writes about including, grief, letting go, connecting you your body, self- acceptance and writing.

Erik Seversen- “Ordinary to Extraordinary” is something Erik Seversen (SEE-ver-sin) lives by, and he’s been pretty successful at it. Born into an average, middle-class family in a suburb of Tacoma, Washington, Erik received no support from school counselors and others, but Erik didn’t let them crush his desire to accomplish amazing things. Erik also took life experiences, like rejection from his dream school UCLA, and turned them into challenges. He excelled in a community college and got into UCLA two years later.
Erik studied Anthropology (often voted the least-likely-to-succeed major), and used anthropology in business, helping a company grow from $7M to over $100,000,000 in ten years doing International Business Development. He also taught English as a Second Language for 10 years in Japan, France, Thailand, University of Virginia, and UCLA. Erik uses entrepreneurial success formulas and motivational materials in business, but he’s also pioneering their use in the field of education.
Erik has traveled to over 80 countries around the world and all 50 states in the USA. He has ridden a motorcycle on six continents. He also climbs mountains, having summited the highest peak of nine countries and eight states. Experiences ranging from discussing philosophy at cafés in Paris to having a machine gun stuck in his mouth in Nigeria to living with a remote Indian tribe deep in the Amazon have forged a unique perspective that Erik uses to work through both the big, life questions and small, everyday decisions. In 2018, Erik published a #1 bestselling book about these experiences and how anyone can be extraordinary.
Erik is a writer, speaker, adventurer, entrepreneur, and educator who refused to let others tell him what he could and could not do. He continually worked toward his goals even when others said they were unreasonable. Erik’s travels and intersections with people from around the world were a study of people, love, struggle, and ways of thinking that can be used to tackle problems in school, business, and life. His current ambitions are sharing the lessons he’s learned through his business and language school and climbing mountains which he says makes everyday challenges seem a lot easier.

Mitchell Gaynor- Mitchell Gaynor: I’m a firm believer that you don’t have to have a “calling” to make a difference. A passion project that you turn into your life’s work is great for those who find it, but some of us, arguably the majority of us, we never figure out that one thing, that’s our thing - and that's ok, maybe even for the best.
I’m focused on having a diversity of experiences in both my life and my career and am looking for chances to contribute to a campaign, a creative project or a team where I can both contribute my experience and learn new skills, where opportunity and expectation aren't limited by what your job title or role might be.
I say that to say, I’m not an exceptional person, just one who is able and curious. I am no expert of ideology like say a priest or a scholar, and certainly am not a standout in any particular hard skill like coding an app or fixing your car. But I am more curious about the world than many, and I am more willing than most to challenge my own ignorances in hopes of eventually eliminating them the only way I know how, through conversation.
Eventually conversations manifest into acceptance or in the best circumstances love and friendship. Sometimes they just manifest into shouting matches or a heated argument and you’ve got to accept those too. But I want to encourage and assist others in doing the same - to reengage rather than disengage, to manifest acceptance, find common ground, and allow ourselves and those around us, to contribute to a common future rather than a mutually assured destruction that’s promised us if we don’t.

Rocky Lalvani- Rocky Lalvani: My story is a little different than those of most financial experts. I spent my working career outside of the financial industry because I didn't like the products and advice they were providing and didn’t feel comfortable recommending them to others. During my working career, I built my wealth through old-fashion savings and investing.
I grew up as an immigrant to the United States after my parents immigrated from India. They were only allowed to bring $25 with them and had to start over in life. While growing up, it was normal for all the parents to have conversations about money. How much things cost, how much they spent, and how much people earned. We observed the way they were making wise decisions, and the community quickly achieved financial success. I never realized this wasn't how everyone else talked about money. I learned most people don’t talk about money and are more likely to share their sex lives than their money story. Once I achieved my financial goals, I had the time and space to think about how could I provide value to help people with their financials in a way I felt was honorable and in line with my core values. I learned that many small business owners were not looking at their financial reports, and more importantly, they were scared of them! I was dumbfounded. How can you be in business and not understand the business, I asked? The big aha came when I learned about Profit First and how it could help business owners ensure their financial success. Putting profit first was the same principle as pay yourself first, which was how I amassed wealth. I finally found a way that I could help business owners succeed in alignment with my values.

Pauline Crawford- I founded Corporate Heart in 1999 and now take this to an international arena to support and enhance your collaborative inclusive leadership style. My passion is to support you to lead the healthiest performance culture mix of relationships, embracing all diversity and maximizing results.
Your people matter. Their performance is the company's wealth. To gain the best results, especially in the CHAOS of current economic times, it is best to maximize the natural talents of your people, men and women together. Today gender-related business 'battles' are destroying potential. From the boardroom to management team to front line, it is vital to engage people to lift their game and perform on purpose, with passion and collaboration.
30 years proprietary research, I designed a mapping tool to enhance communication of men and women throughout your company. This is a radically different 'gender dynamics' approach to the current CHAOS so often found when women seek parity in the boardroom.

Yvonne Health- Yvonne Heath is married to her best friend Geordie, has three amazing children and is loving life in beautiful Muskoka.
She has been a registered nurse since 1988 working in ten different hospitals in the US and Canada in many areas including emergency, intensive care, chemotherapy and hospice. Yvonne became disheartened by our society’s reluctance to talk about, plan and prepare for grief and how it causes excessive suffering in life and at the end of life. She suffered too, not knowing how to do it differently.
So, in 2015, she took a leap of faith, left her nursing career and blazed a new trail. She shares her message with heart and humour as an Inspirational Speaker, with her book Love Your Life to Death, as a television and radio host and through social media.
Her TEDx Talk—Transforming Grief, by Just Showing Up—was launched in May 2019.
She is travelling and sharing with the world and helping
great organizations along the way. Yvonne is also excited to
share the I Just Showed Up movement.

Terry Lancaster- I have worked with thousands of successful salespeople and entrepreneurs offering proven strategies for making the cash register ring.
I can help you build your personal brand, find your authentic voice and tell your story to the world because here's the thing:
The Story You Tell The World Changes Your World.
My book BETTER! Self Help For The Rest Of Us is an Amazon #1 Best Seller with glowing reviews from around the world thanking me for the understandable, actionable, life-changing ideas and stories. I am a contributing writer for Forbes, The Good Men Project, and Dealer Marketing.
I have spoken to audiences from coast to coast at TedX, The National Association of Broadcasters, and the National Automobile Dealers Association.
I only take the stage to do two things – change lives and chew gum. And I'm all out of gum.
Some speakers like to brag that they train the trainers; well, I close the closers.
As the VP of Making Sh!t Happen for Instant Events Automotive Advertising, I have sold to the toughest negotiators in the world, car dealers, producing the biggest, loudest, most attention grabbing ads in the history of big, loud, attention grabbing ads for dealerships from Moose Jaw to Miami, most of the time working from home in my underwear.
Born and raised in Nashville, TN, I have a degree in English/Journalism from Tennessee Technological University, where I learned how to program ginormous room-sized computers using a deck of cards and a rubber band, and how to edit newspaper and radio ads using a ruler, a razor blade, and scotch tape. While all of that may make me sound MacGyver cool, it hasn’t come in handy much since graduation.
Mary, my wife of 30 years, and I are the proud parents of three daughters and like every other middle-aged, overweight, native southerner, I spend most of my time at the ice rink playing hockey.

Jim Sweeney- As creator of the Trademarked MIKE sports character, I'm known as the MIKE Maker.
What -- or who -- is MIKE? Mike's a witty, alter-ego sports entertainment character destined to deliver unexpected fun, engagement, content and creativity to fans.
Who owns MIKE? I do, with my wife of 38 years. Together, we have personally financed and own all of MIKE's animation, illustration, music, web site development, podcast production, marketing and travel. Legally, we are completely unencumbered. Developing, cultivating and creating MIKE content is my full time gig.
Goal for MIKE - The ultimate goal is for MIKE to become the first ever universal animated brand to transcend all sports as a global entertainment icon. We're talking Spongebob, Mickey Mouse and Bart Simpson with an international following. Not only is a microphone's image universally acknowledged, but MIKE is the world's third most popular name and is easily translated into most languages.
MIKE competitors - There are none. His straightforward design speaks of him being the "ultimate talking head" on sports. The only other animated sports brand with any media credibility is Cletus, FOX Sports' transformer robot. FOX execs have admitted that Cletus is football specific, and they forgot to design Cletus to talk.
How do I envision a partner utilizing MIKE?
offer one of its many sponsorship partners the opportunity to align with MIKE and incorporate witty, MIKE hosted cartoon shorts.
green light a short show in which MIKE - in the Space Ghost vein - interviews real life sports celebrities. Remember, Space Ghosts earned nearly $1.5 Billion in syndication.
transform a standard microphone to morph into my cartoon MIKE as a creative means to promote a concert, event or theater performance or interact with its on-line talent.
use MIKE as an animated character personality in his own studio. In his already animated shorts, MIKE already pontificates and entertains on things witty, funny or clever. The MIKE studio is specifically designed with plenty of studio screens to house sponsor marks, messages and logos.
Can I see MIKE anywhere in the digital space? Yes, over the past few years, MIKE has appeared in 900+ sports blogs and he has "authored" 40 sports comic books in his series which appears on Amazon. The brand is currently monetized via affiliate relationships with NFL Shop, MLB Shop, NBA Store, NHL Shop, Sports Memorabilia and Fanatics.
Is MIKE currently animated? Yes, see two sample animated MIKE clips below without any sponsor affiliation:

Mark Struczewski- I am a speaker, coach, podcaster and the author of How to REALLY Be Productive.
But you can call me Ski (skee). That's a nickname and what I prefer.
Fun fact: I am the one and only Mark Struczewski in the entire world. How cool is that?
Now, before I go on, let me address my last name. I know it's not an easy name but it is pronounced Stru Chess Skee. See? That's not so bad.
I have been married to Michelle (@MrsSki2003), for sixteen years. I have two daughters from a previous marriage. We live in Houston, Texas. I am unashamedly a believer in Jesus Christ and attend my church weekly. In my life, it is Jesus first, my beautiful bride Michelle second, followed by my family and everyone else.
I enjoy running, reading, interviewing folks for my podcast and hanging out with my wife.
I am learning to speak español. For some, like my wife, learning a new language is like how a duck takes to water: naturally. For me...it's more of a work in progress. But I am enjoying the process.

Dov Baron is the Secret Weapon for many top leaders. Clients rely on his guidance to grow themselves, their cultures, their companies, deal with crisis and hear advice that they can’t find elsewhere.
Dov is a master of human dynamics, understanding what consciously and unconsciously drives of individuals and teams. He has the ability to bond individuals and teams in such a way that they become fiercely loyal. Through his global work he learned from clients and colleagues alike that making decisions is both rational and emotional. Those most at risk of making poor decisions are people who are blind to the factors influencing them. Fortunately, many leaders want to understand their own leadership and improve. These are the leaders that call Dov.
Life-Changing Story:
In June 1990, while free rock climbing, Dov Baron fell approximately 120 feet and landed on his face. The impact shattered most of the bone structure of his face, disintegrating some of his upper jaw and fracturing his lower jaw in four places. After nine reconstructive surgeries, no external evidence remains of the damage; however, this experience was life-changing.
Before the fall, Dov had spent years building a reputation as a dynamic speaker and teacher in the field of personal and professional development, but it wasn’t until years after the fall that he began to see the beauty and elegance of what had really happened – the return to his own CORE –what he calls his ‘Authentic Self’.
Today:
Today, Dov has been sharing his wisdom and expertise privately and on international stages with professional leaders for more than 30 years. Dov’s influence has created a massive social media platform with over 200,000 followers via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, iTunes etc.
He has interviewed and worked with leaders featured on: Oprah, Ellen, CNN, Fox, MSNBC, CBS, Huffington Post, Larry King, New York Times, Washington Post, Forbes, the Wall Street Journal and many other top rated media.
Dov’s “KIllTheKeynote” campaign to change the speaking industry went viral to over 5 million people on social media. He is now speaking for some of Europe’s wealthiest families at Scone Palace, Next-Gen leaders with UnleashWD and the Legacy Show, and top American c-suite leaders for The #CSuite Network.
In addition to being an author and a radio host, Dov is also the leading expert on Developing Authentic Leadership and he is the world’s only Corporate Cultural Momentum Strategist, serving top performance individuals, corporations and organizations to generate both exponential growth and fierce loyalty.
His passion mixed with humor and ‘get to the point’ no BS style are contagious. Within moments, you will feel a genuine connection with a man who authentically walks his talk. Dov believes that the world needs more leaders who are Authentically committed to living their purpose, standing in their truth, sharing their inner genius, and empowering others to do the same.
Dov’s commitment is to take you by the hand and show you why tapping into your Authentic Self is the MOST important key to finding, developing, and retaining your top talent.

Bill Abernathy- Bill Abernathy: Everyone loves a good story about second-chances, and that’s exactly what Bill Abernathy’s story is all about. The Kansas City, Missouri resident began writing songs in his early teens. He played all through his school years, but then he stopped...Life took over.
Bill went about getting married, building a business career, and raising his children.
After his kids graduated from school and started their careers, Bill picked up the guitar again and began trying to rekindle his love of music.
“Inspiration for my music comes from a variety of the many parts of my life,” Bill says. “Events and experiences of mine, my family, my friends, and sometimes even people I have never met all, contribute to the creativity of my music. I find it interesting and rewarding to let my imagination wander through the memory and spirit of life events and see where it takes me.”
Bill is a pure "lyrics-first" writer...a bit of a storyteller. “I feel the story and lyrics talk to me and tell me what the rest of the song is supposed to sound like,” he says.
His last album, 2017’s “Find A Way” reached #5 on the Roots Music Report Traditional Folk Album chart, and the single, “Goodbye Will Never Come Again” reached #1 on the singles chart.
Bill’s latest collection of songs, the Roots Music Report Americana chart-topping album, “Crossing Willow Creek” is available now. The first single, “Cry Wolf” reached the iTunes Top 100 Rock Songs chart, while hitting the Top 5 on New Music Weekly’s country chart. The next two singles also received national and international charting. Bill is also a December 2018 Billboard Magazine Emerging Artist. He is currently touring the mid-west on his “Living The Dream” solo tour.
“Sometimes life is good to you and gives you a second chance. In my youth I walked away from music for a myriad of personal reasons. Now, I've now been given a second chance to pursue this thing we love called music, and I am really enjoying the ride!”

Tahir Hussain- Tahir Hussain: I grew up in Dubai, UAE, and although I came from a very humble family, I was able to start my own business at the age of seventeen. At twenty-one, I already had a million dollar business. By the time I was twenty-seven, I had earned my first million dollars in less than a year, leading me to become a multi-millionaire just one year later.
I qualified as a software engineer after studying in the U.S. The world of business appealed a lot to me and I rose quickly in that world, became a financial planner, entrepreneur and peak sales performer. Since I love challenges, I took start up businesses and turned them into multi-million dollar businesses. In addition, my passion for growth in the real estate industry gained me an award by the Ruler’s office of Dubai, which was like a dream come true.
During my course of success and immense wealth creation, I am proud to say that I have never worked for anyone else in my entire life nor I intend to do that ever. Packed with over eighteen years of real-life experiences in the business world, I was honoured to help thousands of people come out of their day to day job and taught them how to become successful entrepreneurs.
The power of giving back and paying it forward is what drives me and that is why I share my success principles with others by being a life coach, a motivational speaker, an author and a personal development trainer to them.
I am a proud owner of the Unstoppable Millionaire Academy, where individuals can learn more in-depth strategies about how to truly focus on and achieving their life-long dreams. The academy has created thousands of entrepreneurs in various countries around the world including Malaysia, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, South Africa, Kenya, Thailand, Philippines, Australia, Romania, Germany, United Kingdom and many more.

Calvin Wayman- Imagine you were born into a family so large that the most common question people ask you is “can remember all of your siblings names?”
Calvin Wayne is 1 of 45 kids in his immediate family. He grew up on family farm in a strict fundamentalist religion that practiced polygamy—1 dad, 4 moms (yes, FOUR), and 44 brothers and sisters!
From an early age, he was taught exactly what “could” or “couldn’t” do--how to act, what to think, what to desire and not desire, even down to the kind of underwear he was supposed to wear.
But he always felt he was meant for more, and had a dream of designing a life on his own terms.
In 2015 at 27 years old, he took the plunge to leave everything he ever knew to pursue the life he had always dreamed of. He started selling door-to-door, facing adversity and rejection that helped mold him.
As rocky as his story has been, he’s been documenting the entire journey on social media to help others on their own path.
(Some of the things he’s done are incredible:
- He was an employee and started working for himself full time
- He was $53k in debt and documented him becoming debt free
- He had never run a marathon before and he ran a 50 mile ultra marathon
- He was overweight and lost over 50 pounds
- He had a dream of one day speaking on stage with his mentors, and he’s since shared the stage with people like: Brendon Burchard, Lewis Howes, Mel Robbins, Jay Shetty, and Tom Bilyeu)
Today, he’s a proud papa and successful entrepreneur. He’s an international TEDx Speaker, and the best-selling author of Fish Out of Water. He’s the host of a podcast carrying his name, and he stars in the YouTube show Making The Millionaire: a vlog where he’s documenting his story from polygamy to prosperity--from $53,000 in debt, to his first one million dollars. He’s been featured in 100s of magazine, television, radio, and podcast shows—including Entrepreneur Magazine, and the Dave Ramsey Show.
He’s the cofounder of the Fish Out of Water Mastermind--a program that helps people launch their entrepreneurial careers, live their dreams, and make an impact on the world.
Simply put, this guy’s story shows that it doesn’t matter what everyone around you--including the negative voices in your head--tell you about what you can and cannot do. And despite the adversity you’ll face along the way, you have the power of creating the life of your dreams.

Vanessa Jackson- Vanessa Jackson started her adult life as a single mom of a 1 year old as she was pregnant in high school. To say it was a struggle would be putting it mildly. She grew up with a single mom who raised 4 kids so she was used to not having a privileged life but she also learned that you just need to go out there and do whatever it is that you want to have a fulfilling life. After taking first place in the National Physique Committee in the fitness category as a Grandmom on her first ever fitness competition she went on to work with a 6th degree black belt in Shuri-te Shaolin style martial arts. Together they developed a fitness program that taught self-defense called, KoBu Power. Once her daughter was over 18, Vanessa moved to California; a place where she had been wanting to live all her life (even though she had never been there). She found a passion in helping others achieve their goals; whether they were fitness goals, nutrition goals, business goals…it didn’t matter, she just really enjoyed helping others to push past their limiting beliefs. Her other passion was riding motorcycles. In 2018, she was finally able to set aside the time to chase after one of her own dreams…racing motorcycles! She has always had an “I can do it” mentality but this was a new beast and she was nervous especially since motorcycle racing is a man’s world & she was literally the only female on the entire grid. Ultimately, she took 2nd overall in the Championship in her first season racing and was totally and completely hooked. She now has 4 motorcycles & races in 2 organizations in 4 categories. She started her company, Train For Life, a company that inspires others to live their best life, out of her desire & skillset of coaching others to be better tomorrow than they are today. Her “No Excuses” mentality mixed with her compassion for life challenges is a great combination to support others on their journey. It hasn’t been ‘easy street’ for her as she’s had her own life challenges along the way; she’s had to fight for her daughter, suffered a broken back & broken pelvis has lost jobs leaving her financially strapped & so much more but she continues to have a positive outlook as one of her favorite mantras is “The Universe is Abundant and it will provide”. She also likes to say “In the end it’ll all be ok. And, if it’s not ok…it’s not the end”. She feels like opportunity is born out of ‘failures’ and she’s had a lot of opportunities. Her next journey takes her on the road building a transport vehicle for her motorcycles, surfboard & yoga mat along with her daily positive affirmations, meditation & gratitude to explore the country riding as many tracks as possible, building her business along the way, being a social media influencer and showing others that sometimes it just takes courage to go after what you really want. This will allow her the freedom to spend as much time with family when necessary and to inspire anyone else out there who may not be brave enough just yet to follow their own dreams. She will lead by example by being a role model of success, treating others with kindness & respect, going out of her way to help others and she will always root for the underdog. Follow her journey & be inspired to live your dreams!

Specialised as a wedding DJ in the UK and won UK Wedding DJ of The Year. For the past couple of years have been working as a professional speaker and delivering workshops around helping small business owners live a better quality of life including helping them increase their prices and the value they have for themselves and the value they provide to their clients under the tag of "The Value Catalyst" I have a podcast named Exceeding Expectations which has ran for over a year interviewing people who have the mindset of always trying to give their customers an amazing experience and far exceeding what their customers expected. My mission is to help people have a better quality of life by charging higher prices so that they can work less and so have more time to spend with their kids, their partners, taking holidays etc and just enjoying life more, rather than working so much which then reduces stress, leads to better quality sleep and much better health. www.tonywinyard.com Listen to another #12minconvo

Bernadette Slowey- Bernadette Slowey : Director⎮Producer⎮Writer⎮TV Personality⎮Public Speaker As the founder of Vast Universe Productions, Bernadette Slowey directed, produced, co-wrote and starred in the award-winning feature length documentary Berni’s Journey. Through serendipity, the film unexpectedly follows her personal transformation while she travels with spiritual teachers through India on a quest to make a movie about difficult transitions. She shares her stories as a refugee from the Vietnam War, as a former corporate executive turned filmmaker and as a control-freak resolving perfectionism through the making of her film.
Berni’s Journey premiered in March of 2015 and is currently being formatted for television. She has evolved from filmmaker to Trans-Media entrepreneur and is one of the TV hosts of Wake Up!™, a nationally syndicated morning show. Slowey is in the process of completing her memoir and is creating experiential retreats to help others awaken to their own “burning” journey. Additionally, she uses her experience with filmmaking as a speaking platform using movies as a metaphor for life: 1) We can choose which lens to view our perspective; 2) We can decide what story we want to tell to write the screenplay of our future and rewrite our past; 3) We can take inspired action and create what we desire as the Director of our lives.
Prior to the film, Slowey had a 20-year corporate career as a bank executive until the collapse of the financial industry in 2009. As the youngest senior vice president at her organization, she managed several departments and led organizational development projects. Slowey was recognized by The Denver Business Journal as one of the “Forty Under 40” top young business leaders for her business success and community contributions as a volunteer and having served on many non-profit Boards.
Since evacuating from Saigon in 1975, Slowey has also lived in Tehran, Iran during the anti-Shah revolution in the late ’70’s. With some intermittent moves throughout Nebraska during her childhood, her family moved to Colorado in 1984. Slowey lives in Denver with her husband and two sons.

Eric Eaton- Eric Eaton: I help individuals and organizations find harmony among the chaos of life by providing a proven process to thrive in life instead of surviving.
WHY IT MATTERS: You have employees, students, or faculty who are not performing at their peak due to overwhelming distractions. Think about what your organization could accomplish if the unnecessary distractions were removed from the workplace.
WHY IT WORKS: When you partner with me you get the most efficient and effective service that your organization is looking for right now. Individuals who are less distracted are more productive, more focused, and experience less stress on the job.
HOW I DO IT: I utilize a PROVEN FRAMEWORK which will evaluate the current distractions in your organization from emails, meetings, texts, and notifications. We work closely with individuals and teams to focus in on their immediate goals. We then develop a plan for individuals and teams to eliminate the distractions which are keeping them from accomplishing their fundamental goals.
WHY IT WORKS: An unhappy and distracted employee is an unproductive employee. From CEO’s to first year hires, when an individual is able to focus on a task, without distraction, they are more productive and happy with their work. This practice can also provide a more effective work/life harmony which attributes to greater satisfaction in their career.
WHY I CAN HELP YOU: I have spent over 20 years consulting, coaching, and counseling individuals and organizations. I have seen firsthand how ineffective management and distractions can bring down the most powerful organizations. I have used these experiences to build an effective process to help individuals and organization remove the distractions which are keeping them from their goals. To help them truly find harmony among the chaos of work and life.

Ahmed Muzammil- I’m Ahmed Muzammil. Originally from the southern tip of India where you can see both the sunrise and sunset from a single point.
Ahmed Muzammil: I’m living in Singapore for the past 5 years almost and been a software developer with a Swiss Private Bank. I have a beautiful wife, two boys and the third baby is coming soon by December.
I am a techie by design, published my pretty little website when I was 12 years old, then I learned flash animation, photoshop etc. to become a good designer.
Also I learned programming on the side, worked with PHP and C programming while in school, designed a couple of websites for my college. And developed some small web apps.
I used to earn a good sum fixing people’s broken windows 95, 98, ME, and XP computers while I was in school & college.
I hated school, and college but did it anyway for the sake of my parents. (Had I known that Bill Gates quit college, I would have done that at that time – poor kid me)
Back in January 2016, I started a marketing consulting company (BizMaximizer) where I’m helping entrepreneurs, coaches, and trainers have a marketing funnel that works to get clients and leads 24×7. Grateful to have grown it to over 60,000 in sales in the past 8 months.
This is my 7th company and I’ve been through 5 failures, and another one I shutdown to pursue a professional career as a software engineer.
I’ve tried starting two software product companies, a domain company, a web design company, a logo design company, and a bunch of passive income shit from warrior forum pdfs which all went wasted money and time.
Why am I doing what I’m doing?
I love to help people, my life’s work would be to help and empower entrepreneurs run a successful and scalable business. I’m learning all that from my mentors and coaches.
My short-term goal is to help 1 million people around the world to start their own businesses by 2025 have financial freedom, and time freedom.

Jodie Nevid- As a serial entrepreneur & business coach I help coaches, consultants and experts build the business of their dreams!
When I quit my high paying corporate job the ‘dream’ was to build a business where I could:
- Make 6-Figures a Year
- Work 3-Days a Week
- Take School Holidays Off
- Travel OS Every Year
And I did it!
My business made over $164,000 in its first year and over $279,000 in year two, and it
grows consistently year after year.
Now, I teach others how to do the same!
I don’t claim to ‘make millionaires’ or promote fancy tricks that will make you an ‘over night success’, instead I teach you how to replace your income as a results focused coach, consultant or expert who delivers high value products and services.
If you’ve got a goal to quit your Monday to Friday and build a business helping people and solving problems, I’ve got a step by step process to get you there.

Gary Tessero- CEO Gary Tessero and his experiences as an internet entrepreneur have lead him to creating some very innovative technology & products. After taking a job with Yellowbook fresh out of LSU, he was thrust right into in the world of online revenue generation to the point of being able to generate money online doing almost anything. His focus became SEO, Gaming & products, organically beating out hundreds of millions of competitors by getting his products to the front page of Google (“jersey sweaters & “The Mine Life”).
Now, Gary has grown the keen ability to identify underperforming digital markets - which is precisely what he did when he lost his only source of income on 4/15/2011 (known as Black Friday in the gambling and online gaming communities). That was the week online poker was shut down and The Mine Life was born. He has spent the last 8 years building his “A” team and the only mobile game that gives users an online bank account & debit card that can be used in 191 countries around the world.

My personal mantra is I can do All things because of the Christ who lives within me. Impossible is the street I walk over daily with my Jesus (2019 mantra). This is how I describe myself until 2017 - "I’m a corporate business veteran, with practical experience in a diverse range of industries — Safety/ HVAC / FMCG /Industrial Equipment /and much more . Sales ,Marketing, Business Development & Coaching are combined to deliver over 30 years experience. As an entrepreneur and blogger (Dwordslayer) I’m right now living an adventure, and looking forward to the next opportunity to challenge mediocrity. " In 2018, I did an audit of my life and realized that my goals have all been achieved, and new ones were needed. At 12 years I knew I was good at convincing people to buy my mom's books she wrote. At 13, I discovered I was good at getting vacation jobs to help my mom and myself. At 16 I left home 2 days after writing my last o'level subjects and got a job before results were received - I was determined to never live and settle for the label of 'poor'. My first job was for an Advertising Agency, and I lied about my age and home. I was homeless, living by friends and anyone who would take me in. My first son was born when I was 18 years and my second at 19 years old. I do not believe abortion is a choice when adult decisions are made. I own my decisions - whatever the outcome. I worked primarily in sales for my first 4 jobs over 6 years and got into business development in my 5th job - to prove I can do anything and achieve any goal set. I discovered a love for cold-calling and relationship building while strategising outcomes. As an avid reader I knew academically I was very weak and taught myself through books on business, law, and romance novels. We are who we want to be when we live in the future reality. I always knew I would taste success, defeat, and resurrection, and kept preparing for NEXT ( best 4 letter word in business). My 2 sons and 1 daughter have always been the 'why' in my life. They are 'Why' I am driven to fulfill my optimum capacity as a business woman, entrepreneur and mother. Helping others in anyway to elevate their life is a personal mission and pursuit.If I can inspire one person to smile or feel joy for a moment everyday, then I have added value to my space in this world. People make mistakes, but they must know and learn 'how' to get up. I love social media and the power it gives to create opportunities execute and get things done. While recovering from an accident in 2014, used social media to help others and myself! I live in Chaguanas for the past 14 years in my own home, but prior to that moved 23 times in my life in Trinidad! I love to travel, and have been to Barbados, St Vincent & the Grenadines, St Lucia, Jamaica, Grenada, Antigua, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Suriname, London, Scotland, Michigan, New York, Miami, Texas, and Panama. I am presently a business development consultant. Listen to another #12minconvo

Kat Mclead is the creator of the Stay at Home Mom Entrepreneur: the proven framework for creating a highly profitable business that you love while working 2 hours a day.
She started her first multiple 6 figure business 20 years ago, and hasn’t slowed down since — not even after having kids. A fun fact: That business’s profits meant that she had way more money than her husband when they first got married, and was able to pay the entire $450,000 down payment on their home. Not that he minded!
She fully planned on being a pampered Stay at Home Mom, but once her son began preschool, and she actually had ME time again for the first time in years, she became restless. So she came out of “retirement” and started coaching her friends just to give her a little extra buzz.
Since then, she’s helped numerous Stay at Home Moms find fulfillment and independent income outside of motherhood all while staying Mom first.
AND that’s how she developed THE ONLY BUSINESS FRAMEWORK specifically designed for a BUSY MOM.

Award winning and nationally recognized, Keyser is an active member of the Forbes Real Estate Council, voted Top 10 Best Places to Work multiple years running, and is a proud Host Company for Conscious Capitalism.
When Jonathan entered the cut-throat, dog-eat-dog world of CRE brokerage, he became the worst version of himself and hated himself because of it. Then one day, Jonathan decided he’d had enough. He realized he was sacrificing his values in pursuit of success. He abandoned his ruthless ways and reinvented himself as a selfless leader, which skyrocketed his brokerage firm to eight figures in five years.
His selfless service approach to business has resonated with corporations and individuals seeking a competitive edge to acquiring and maintaining clients. Jonathan's best-selling book You Don't Have to Be Ruthless to Win and online Keyser Institute courses inspire others to activate selflessness in their life and see how and why this counterintuitive strategy can create extraordinary, long-term success.

Daniel Bauer- "Everyone wins when a leader gets better."
I had to reflect and consider how I was really investing in myself. I didn't like what I saw in the mirror. At that point I was at a crossroads: throw a permanent pity party and point fingers at the district not developing my leadership skills or take ownership of my journey. I chose the latter.
So in 2015, I launched my category-defining leadership conversation podcast: Better Leaders Better Schools. I figured if I talked to leaders more experienced and wiser than I was, then I would grow tremendously. I was right and I didn't want to keep that to myself so I distributed the podcast for free online.
In 2016, I joined my mentor's mastermind -- Iron Sharpens Iron. My life transformed both personally and professionally in such profound ways I had my second epiphany: who is doing this for school leaders?
I launched my first mastermind for school admin in the spring of 2016 with 7 heroic leaders. By 2019 our community includes 60+ leaders from around the world.

Michael Pasha- Michael Pasha: Probably similar to you I’m always looking for ways to make more money. Years ago I discovered that people like you and me all over the world were making money online without the need of a physical business location.
Some worked in teams but many were just individuals selling their own products or marketing other people’s product and getting a cut of the profits.
I quickly fell in love with internet business because not only does it have great opportunities for making more money but that money can be made whenever and from wherever you choose to work.
I decided right than and there that I wanted in…
I love spending time with my family so I didn’t want a business that would take me away from them for too long. I also wanted something with low start up cost because I didn’t have a lot of money to start with.
I knew that trying to get rick quick was a waste of time and money. Even doing everything right wasn’t a guarantee. The statistics on how many business start every year and how many fail are staggering. This is even true for people starting internet businesses.
The failure rate for start ups has always been high but I think one thing fueling a lot of failure these days is the idea that making money will be quick and easy.
We’ve all heard the glamorous stories of the people who dropped out of college and started an App that within a year was bought buy Facebook for $5 billion; or the story of the internet marketer who started a blog, YouTube channel or podcast not too long ago and is now marking a million dollars a year working 4 hours a week.

Marc Mawhinney- Marc Mawhinney: I help coaches get more clients and build stronger businesses - I have a passion for this because I saw first-hand how difficult it is to do it. I hate to see coaches struggling, and made a promise that once I "made it", I would help others do the same!
Since 2014, I've been hosting a daily podcast ("Natural Born Coaches") which shares advice on how to have more success as a coach. It's up over 500 episodes now, and I'm just getting warmed up!
I put a lot of my energy and focus into my exclusive print newsletter for coaches: Secret Coach Club. That's where I share my best stuff.

Anthony Verna- Anthony Verna: Intellectual property (IP) starts with an idea. From that idea, a product or service is grown. The name of the product is its trademark. The new product can be protected by a patent. Any documentation falls under copyright. That combination grows into a business. And from that business, other ideas grow. Those who grow those ideas? People. Helping those ideas be more than ideas is the foundation of my law practice.
I collaborate with my clients to create ideas to develop and protect more products and services. I am there to help a business defend those ideas, brands, products, and how to advertise them all.
I have won damages for clients whose products have been copied. I have won damages for clients whose trademarks have been infringed. I have protected clients from paying maximum damages when they have been sued for any intellectual property action.

Mark Hardcastle- Mark Hardcastle: In one life I've flown commercial jets all over the world helping people engage in life, carrying hundreds of thousands of passengers to weddings, funerals, business meetings and resort vacations!
In another life I've worked successfully as a real estate investor and agent, helping friends and family members realize their dreams of being part of the real estate world.
And in yet another life I've worked with musical organizations, singing the great repertoire, and teaching children to sing at the highest levels.
And my latest life has seen me write a book that asks, "How do you respond when life challenges you with difficult times?" You haven't heard of the book? It's called, The Symphony of Your Life: Restoring Harmony When Your World Is Out of Tune. You can check it out on Amazon. It's available in hardcover, paperback, or your favorite e-book format.
Finally, I support the book with a speaking business where I take that question, "How do you respond when life challenges you with difficult times?" to schools, civic organizations, and clubs of any size.

Dr. Kristina Hallett- Dr. Kristina Hallett: I coach results-oriented high achievers who want to have it all but feel like something’s missing. Maybe you’ve done other personal development or coaching and still can’t quite put your finger on what’s holding you back. Maybe you’re feeling all of the negative effects of stress and are ready to change. Maybe you know you’re meant for something more.
If this sounds like you, chances are you’re in your own way. And you don’t get out of the way with more of the same coaching. And doing the same old thing just won’t cut it. My unique science and action-based approach cuts through the noise and gets results. Here’s what you can expect:
•A combination of compassion and practicality. You will be met where you are by me, because I’ve been there and have the personal experience and professional expertise to help you get unstuck.
•Results. Fast. It’s not my goal to be your coach forever; it’s my goal to give you the tools you need to be your own coach and, even better, your own best friend. 99% of my clients don’t need more coaching.

I do this through executive coaching and leadership training. You can learn more at www.McClureCoaching.com.
Throughout a 20-year career as a pastor, I found myself feeling stuck and frustrated multiple times. I was frustrated with dysfunctional leadership situations and unhealthy cultures.
I discovered that the quality and capacity of leadership directly affects all aspects of any organization.
I believed I was made to be, do, and have more than I was experiencing.
Each time I faced these scenarios, I took intentional action to grow in order to break through to the next level of my personal life and leadership capabilities.
Today, I am a transformed man who helps other leaders reach their potential within their own context.

Thor Conklin- Thor Conklin is an Entrepreneur, Profitability Consultant and host of his daily podcast, Peak Performers Podcast. 2019 marks his 19th year as an entrepreneur. The first company Thor created was a global risk management consulting firm that served the private equity community. His top 15 clients had a combined revenue of $12.7 billion USD and operated in over 100 countries worldwide. His background, in risk management, served him well when he lost 1/3 of his team, in the World Trade Center attacks, on 9/11. Since that time, he has started, bought and sold several multi-million dollar businesses making him a sought after, cross-industrial resource for entrepreneurs and executives in all stages of business.
Thor has a talent for slicing through the noise of every day distractions and bringing his clients and audiences intellectual commodities like his: “Ultimate Success Map”, a simplistic, easy-to- follow guide for individuals who need to break through to the next level of achievement.
96% of business fail within 10 years. The ONLY reason they fail is lack of Profits. Of the 4% that do survive, many only produce enough profits to break even, pay the owner a meager wage or provide shareholders below market returns. Mr. Conklin’s extensive background and expertise allows him to not only identify the specific profitability killers that are siphoning off profits but work with the business to fix them. Despite the leader’s best efforts, many business owners and executive cannot see these profitability killers as they are too close to the company.
Thor’s gritty, no nonsense and direct approach uncovers the real truth about what is holding people and organizations back from realizing their full potential. He can illuminate even the most successful and confident leader’s limiting beliefs. He is known as the Accountability & Execution Guy.
Through his consulting firm, Peak Performance Group, he teaches the tools, tips, tricks, psychology and strategies necessary to be a Peak Performer. He qualifies the psychology of success in one word: “Execution”! “Nothing you’ve learned matters – unless you can EXECUTE”!

The reason I love helping my clients is because pursuing success is in my DNA. I come from a family of hard-working immigrants, who taught me the importance of striving for excellence in everything I do, as if my life depended on it… because it often did.
I have been fully immersed in digital marketing for two decades, and am a best-selling author, speaker, and consultant.
This is why I'm known for being much more than a supplier of services. My clients feel like we are an integral part of their team. They fully rely on us to look after their marketing efforts.
On top of it all, our innovative model is fully performance-based. We charge zero setup, management, nor ad spend. You get as many or as few leads you wish to fill your pipeline with, that's it.

Jason Freeman- Jason Freeman is on a mission. That mission: to speak to millions of people in his lifetime. Why? Well, as it turns out, transcending the physical limitations of a speech impediment and coordination differences, stemming from being born with cerebral palsy, weren’t the hardest things he had to overcome. His hardest obstacle was prevailing against the mental anguish of self-hatred and shame he developed surrounding his body and voice.
Today Jason considers his cerebral palsy a gift. Calling cerebral palsy a gift might seem like a huge stretch but for Jason, this is precisely what he grew to appreciate it as: a profound gift that allowed him to chart a profound course in life. In addition to realizing his dream of becoming a professional speaker (yes, you read that correctly), writing a memoir/self-help book entitled “Awkwardly Awesome - Embracing My Imperfect Best" and delivering a meaningful TEDx talk, Jason travels the country, speaking about his experience overcoming both physical and perceived limitations as a way to excite and encourage his audiences to break through the barriers of their own limitations using a method he created, called "doing your Imperfect Best”.

Michal Stawicki- I live in Poland, Europe.
I’m a father of three—two sons and a daughter.
I’ve been married for over 15 years.
I work for one of the biggest media groups in Poland (I changed job in 2015) in a big consulting corporation as a database administrator.
I’ve been a church community member for more than 19 years.
I just cannot resist the urge to make this world a better place; first of all through self-improvement, by focusing on my personal growth, and then through the absolute transparency of my progress. It’s tough to say which one is harder. Sometimes it’s tough to wake up an hour earlier to do my morning ritual—a workout, while listening to people who live on the other side of the world—or to force myself to give up socializing on FB and work on my websites. Sometimes it’s even tougher to write a blog post and see that people misunderstand me or worse, totally ignore me.
I truly hope my experience will bring some value to your life, that it will help you to realize that you are not really helpless as long as you breathe. No matter what your situation is, however busy you are, you can always start over and change your life.

Kwan Fung- My journey in mining started because of curiosity, but is now shaped by passion and purpose. Prior to university, I had almost zero knowledge of mining and only visited a mine once. Over the next six years, I completed over two years of internships at Shell and Suncor, competed nationally at the Canadian Mining Games competition, and internationally at the Move Mining competition. Throughout my academic and work experiences, friends and relatives always asked me what mining is and what is it that I do; I began to realize that many people were like me (before entering UBC) and had little to no idea of what mining is, or its relevant to modern-day society. In the last year of my studies, I created this short video to inform first-years what mining engineering is about and to encourage them to pursue this exciting field. I also entered a contest called Move Mining — which aims to change the public perception of mining — with two fellow mining engineers. We submitted our concept Mine2Me, which employs a series of animated infographic videos to educate the public on the usage of mined commodities, safety and technological advancements in the industry, as well the environmental conservation efforts made. After securing first place, the contest winnings and another sponsorship, my team and I continue to work towards changing the public perception of the mining industry which is often misunderstood and characterized by misinformation.

Peter travelled the world living and working for many years in the United Kingdom, Middle East, America, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan and throughout Australia.
In 1993, at the age of 22, Peter spent time as a Buddhist monk in the rainforests of Thailand. During this period and since then, he has completed many meditation retreats, some up to as long as nine months in total solitary meditation.

Carly Evans- Carly Evans: I am a Transformational Life Coach, Cleanse Coach, Energy Worker and Reiki Master/Teacher who is ridonkulous passionate about supporting people to move past their shitty past traumas, towards the life they truly desire.
I am especially passionate about helping those who are most disadvantaged - survivors of trauma and abuse, those with a mental illness and people experiencing conflict, chaos and crisis. However, I prefer to help in a way that encourages their strengths and is focused on the solution, not the problem. Every "problem" is really a chance to shed that which no longer serves us so we can move forward lighter and happier, with huge lessons and growth.
With a background in psychology, forensic psychology, coaching, mental health, and criminal justice, I can handle pretty much any challenges that come my way! :)
I use a number of different tools and each session is tailored to the specific person and situation. I do energy healing, coaching, removal of limiting beliefs, goal setting, chakra balancing, distant healing, space clearing, I teach energy work and can provide informal counseling.
My clients are very diverse and range from the homeless and mentally unwell, those going through trauma and crises, to those who are in a space where they can focus on achieving massive life goals.

Does this sound familiar? ‘No matter how much I exercise and how ‘healthily” I eat, I can’t seem to keep the weight off or my cholesterol’s too high or my arthritis/allergies are giving me trouble or my knees/back hurts or I have sleep apnea….” I hear this over and over again and I KNOW it doesn’t have to be this way. There is a solution, they just don’t want you to know it. That, ladies & gentlemen, is why I’m angry.
I’ve been a personal trainer to people from all walks of life for thirty years. I’ve trained Hollywood celebrities, captains of industry, stay at home moms, working moms, pregnant moms, ultra athletes, Ironman triathletes, injured and post surgical clients and even children with the beginnings of a weight problem.
I love my work and I live to see my clients enjoying the benefits of my training and the feelings of well being that fitness gives them, they are all thriving. But hey, not everyone is lucky enough to have me breathing down their neck, yelling “Step away from the pizza!”. As I look around me and see the American people getting fatter and sicker instead of fitter and healthier, I wonder what messages they are getting about fitness and nutrition and where those messages are coming from.
For decades, the diet industry (and they are not the only bad guys here) has been selling you lies about how to lose weight and get fit. They get you thin fast while simultaneously setting you up for failure just so you can come crawling back to them in a few months. Let’s face it, they can’t make money if you stay thin and fit! Looking at the growing epidemic of obesity and other weight related diseases and the health and financial costs of that epidemic to our country, I am shocked to see that the message comes directly from the government, the special interest groups, the health care system and pharmaceutical industry, the very people who are supposed to help and guide us.
It would seem they are motivated by one thing and one thing only – MONEY. There are several excellent documentaries on the subject and you can watch any of those documentaries on TV or Netflix whenever you choose. I am thankful that those documentaries exist and grateful to the people that made them, but, whilst they bring our attention to the roots of the issue, they don’t solve the problem. And that’s where I come in.

Jon Cole- Jon Cole is a visionary through and through. Hand him a problem and he’ll give you multiple ways of solving that problem.
After becoming highly involved with the volunteer rescue and relief efforts associated with Hurricane Harvey, he saw numerous issues that could have easily been alleviated by just having a better way of doing things.
Realizing that no one else was addressing those issues, Jon put his entire life on hold (including his successful business of 15 years) and began creating a new way for the world to come together and manage major disasters.
That vision soon blossomed into something that has the very real potential of creating a monumental amount of positive change in many other areas outside of major disasters.

Dr. Robyn Odegaard- Dr. Robyn Odegaard: Growing up on a farm, I always had a lot of energy. As a teenager, someone said to me, “I used to babysit you. I have never met a two-year-old who was so exhausting.” (How do you even respond to that?) In high school, I ran cross country and track but at 18 I was moved far from home (long story) and didn't have the opportunity to exercise anymore. Looking back at pictures it’s easy to see that I got a little fluffy. Not to worry though. In my early 20’s I discovered volleyball, eventually playing competitively in beach tournaments. In those pictures I’m back to my lean, athletic self.
When life moved on from volleyball I continued to go to the gym and lift. But the intensity wasn’t there. I no longer had a workout partner or the competitive motivation. I would go regularly, take a break and go regularly again (sound familiar?).
In my mid 30’s I was soft again, but not in the girlish way I was at 20 but in a thick-around-the-middle-I-have-no-waist kinda way. When I complained about it people would tell me I was “crazy” and that I was skinny. But I didn’t feel it. I bought a hybrid bike (halfway between a road bike and a mountain bike) and started riding 10-20 miles at a time (weather permitting). But the weight just kept creeping on.
About the time I finished my doctorate in psychology and started my coaching and speaker training business (Champion Performance Development) in my late 30s another nagging problem arose. My cholesterol started to do more than just creep upwards and doctors started to nag me about taking a statin (cholesterol lowering drug).
By 45 I was twenty pounds overweight and my cholesterol hit 256. I was working out 5 days a week religiously and biking 50-100 miles a week. But nothing was touching my weight or my cholesterol. My doctor was adamant that my cholesterol level was causing damage to my cardiovascular system.
I relented and picked up the prescription. One of the (supposedly rare) side effects of statins is muscle damage. Within 6 weeks of starting cholesterol-lowering drugs, my shins ached so badly I couldn't sleep. I called my doctor and told her, “This is simply not going to work.” She didn't fight me on it (she knows there’s no point) but she did express grave concern about my heart.
It was about that time that Russ and I decided to go on the superhero diet (Don’t look it up. It’s not really a thing and it didn't work). After two months of that failing to budge the scale or my cholesterol downward, we started talking about options. And that is where RnR Journey to Health started.

Aaron Walker- It would be safe to say that Aaron Walker is a veteran entrepreneur. Having started over a dozen businesses during his four-decade journey has been pretty awesome. Beginning at 18 years old and selling to a Fortune 500 company just nine years later set Aaron on an adventure of a lifetime. The secret sauce for Aaron can clearly be identified with these four attributes: grit, authenticity, determination, and perseverance. The glue that holds it all together is his weekly involvement in Iron Sharpens Iron Mastermind groups. Aaron started masterminding 20 years ago with Dave Ramsey, Dan Miller, and several other notable Nashvillians. Today, he spends time with his wife, two daughters and five grandchildren.

Nadine Nelen- Nadine Nelen: My name is Nadine Nelen, born in Belgium and in 2006 I packed to suitcases and moved to Australia (the other side of the world). I wrote a book about my life called Yes I do & I did it. I changed many things around in my life and last but not least I started to work from my zone of genius as an entrepreneur. Since our last chat I have worked as an intuitive mentor for people going through or aiming for change and loved every bit of it. I have an unusual talent. I am a psychic aura reader and healer that cuts through all the blocks and gets results. I see right to the very heart of every issue – so when it seems like I’m reading your mind… it’s because I am. For years I worked in high profile jobs in the corporate world. I had to hide my gifts to fit in. Throughout my awakening journey of empowerment, I learned how to take my life in my own hands and stop being the victim – so rather trying to fit into a World that didn’t fit me – I changed my life completely and now I am mentoring people like you to experience the same. Jokingly I call myself a spiritual PT because I specialize in training the spiritual muscle of business people while I mentor them through their challenges with the guidance of their own soul. When I am not playing with my horses, dogs or alpacas I spend my days writing, healing, teaching spiritual techniques and helping high powered people who, (maybe even secretly) know they are intuitive. My passion is to help these amazing souls like you to connect with the deepest parts of their true being, so rather than hiding from who they truly are – they step out and shine. They use their gifts to make the right decisions, to make the epic changes that seemed so hard before, without this guidance… And this is why I love my life.

While still passionate about all things property related, Vicki now focuses on helping people to identify and leverage their personal resources in order to create powerful legacies through their own Non-Traditional Wealthy Retirement Plans.
Take the Scorecard www.vickiwusche.com/scorecard
Vicki’s mission
Vicki’s mission is to help people realize that they are going to live a lot longer than they think, or can afford, as pension systems are not designed for people to live 20, 30 even 40 years past retirement age. In fact, the concept of retirement is redundant. We all have so much potential and so many opportunities why would you let a birthday stop you from doing what you love.
Vicki wants to enable everyone to create their own wealthy retirement plans now so that they can choose how to spend the rest of their lives. Through this practical and yet thought-provoking process, Vicki believes she can solve all the challenges facing our people and our plant. As people reach a position where they don’t have to work just to pay the bills – they will join with others to create new and innovative solutions to current and even future challenges.
Enabling the world to create Non-Traditional Wealthy Retirement Plans will lead to the end of poverty, homelessness, pollution, and sadness in all its forms. We must Take back control, secure our tomorrows and make a positive impact on the world.

Sharon Kirstin “Master Your Energy, Master Your Life” is the magnetizing message of the bestselling author Sharon Kirstin who helps conscious women who feel they are made for more, break out of a the “trapped life", reconnect to their true genius within and live a life on purpose by: * gaining crystal clarity on their vision, mission, and purpose in life * understanding the hidden mechanics of walking their unique path of meaning * discovering the message and gifts they are meant to share with the world * creating offers that add massive value to their customers and flush them with aligned abundance * balancing feminine and masculine energy to magnetize opportunities with ease * deciphering their inner guidance system so that they can fully trust and follow their intuition * revealing and releasing limiting beliefs that create barriers to taking action

However, she was a career junkie once; Sharon spent years building the Web and Mobile Innovations Department for Europe’s most successful e-commerce company that ranked #5 in The Wall Street Journal’s “Billion Dollar Startup Club” in 2014. Despite her success, the corporate hustle left her feeling unfulfilled, while her inner calling to awaken others to their full potential got louder.

You can create differently.” Now she’s on a mission to share her innovative expertise on how you can transform your life and business from within. When you transform your inner world, your outer world changes. Sharon teaches you how to release inner barriers to your greatness, redesign yourself and harness the innate power of the universal laws to manifest your dreams.

Bill Murray
| Bill Murray comes from an Irish Catholic family and is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) beginning at 11 years old. Over three consecutive summers he was assaulted by a counselor at a Catholic summer camp. The predator took thousands of pre-pubescent pornographic photos of Bill, too, and eventually there was a two-week long kidnapping and sex-trafficking where he was taken to multiple states and Canada .. and abused by multiple pedophiles. | | The first person he decided to tell about the abuse was a priest at a minor seminary Bill attended, a boarding school in PA, St Vincent Prep. But he became Bill's next abuser. Through his first 2 years at this Catholic high school, Bill was sexually abused by several of the monks/clerics, including his Latin teacher who abused him off campus, and at a convention. Living with the psychological damage of the constant trauma deeply affected him, and he became aggressive in school, struggled with classwork, and felt uncertain about his sexual identity. Counselors and others never asked if he had been abused, instead labeling him as having 'lack of motivation.' When he was 30 years old Bill was able to seek help and healing from the trauma, and at 65 he now has been in CSA recovery for 35 years. In spite of his humble claim to be "just a guy" with no special training, he's been able to connect with and help thousands of other survivors of all types of child abuse through our NAASCA community. In his career, Bill worked with some success in show business. He's also been a long-standing volunteer with the Los Angeles Police and Sheriff Departments. In addition to NAASCA, nearly 20 years ago he founded and still manages the LA Community Policing website. Now retired, Bill is continuing to work as hard as ever and devotes the majority of his time to running NAASCA and LACP. Bill says, " There have been literally thousands of people who have contributed to my recovery over the years, most of who I'll never specifically remember. " However, he gives special thanks to his, " wonderful wife, Christina, who is not a survivor, but supports what I do completely. I could not run NAASCA without her." Outside of his volunteer work week, Christina and Bill share their home with their little lap dog, Jack. They recently enjoyed the first 'deliberate vacation' Bill had since he was a child camping, and they hope to spend more time traveling and camping in the near future. |

Michael Davis Michael Davis passion for storytelling and public speaking was not obvious early in his life. As a child, he was shy and reserved – not an indication he’d grow up to be a professional speaker and public speaking coach.
As a new financial planner, his seminars were poorly delivered. He was given an ultimatum – “Become a better presenter.... or ELSE!!” Because of that threat, he joined Toastmasters International in 1994. There he quickly discovered a passion for the art of public speaking. He learned that crafting and delivering impactful presentations is a learnable, repeatable skill. He also realized that he had a gift to help others improve these skills. That inspired him to start the company Speaking CPR.
His business is focused on working with professionals to improve their confidence, communication, leadership and selling through improved speaking, presentation and business storytelling skills. Michael has worked with both individuals and company teams to master these abilities and increase their bottom lines. Past clients include:
General Electric - Johnson & Johnson - The Ohio Association of Community Health Centers - The Greater Cincinnati Human Resource Association - Kroger
He also works closely with speakers in the Ted X Cincinnati event, and has successfully coached competitors in the World Championship of Public Speaking.
He is a contributing author to three public speaking books, and is the author of ‘THE Book on Storytelling’ and the Kindle book series ‘Sell More With Stories.’ He has been featured on podcasts like: ‘The Business of Story,’ ‘Speaker Match Radio,’ and ‘Speaking of Wealth.’
Michael is a candidate member of the National Speakers Association (Kentucky Chapter) and a member of Toastmasters International. He lives in Blue Ash, Ohio with his family, and the ruler of their household, Sky the Chihuahua.

She started voraciously studying the nature of Consciousness in 1993 and and have been teaching Self-Love and Realization since 1998, when she wrote the Uncovering the Divine Within Workbook. In 2004, during a week of intense spiritual study, she helped facilitate a spontaneous healing and used that as a touchstone for knowing that within all of us was the power to command consciousness. It took another ten years of trying to recreate that event and the consciousness surrounding it it before I could consistently replicate it. Then in 2014, she experienced a shift in consciousness that allowed her to crack the code and recreate that state of being that would allow her to help facilitate miracles on behalf of others, on a consistent basis with no particular effort on their behalf. Now, Kerri has practiced it in a variety of different circumstances and with enough different people that she knows the formula. Now, she is bringing it into the world to teach you how to facilitate rapid and consistent change in your life and the lives of those you love.
You can receive the the Uncovering the Divine Within Workbook as well as a set of 5 Free Consciousness Alignments including one for Wealth, Health, Relationships, Spiritual Connection and Life Fulfillment here: http://kerrispeaks.info

Karen Finocchio Karen Finocchio: My name is Karen and I am here for you. In fact, the whole OTM Army is here for you.
Directly out of high school at age 19, I married a military man and by age 28, I had four children and a toxic marriage. At 30, I decided to leave my extremely unhealthy marriage to become a single mother. With no education, I took any job I could get, as a waitress, a bartender, a mail delivery person, a bank, to eventually sell and voice radio commercials.
Denied food stamps and struggling financially to provide for my children, I met an earth angel who told me about a government program for single mothers. The program allowed low-income women to buy a house, with no money down and no interest.
So, against negative opinions, disbelievers, all self-doubt, and fear of failure; I did it, by myself, as a single mother, we bought our home.
While my children grew, I focused on my career. I learned everything I could, especially about advertising and marketing. Within years, I opened my own in-house agency, allowing me to work with the WWF/WWE, NASCAR, The Grammys, Sharon
and Ozzy Osborn, as well as cast members from The Sopranos and the Jersey Shore show. Learning from others, I wrote and produced national radio and tv commercials which aired on NBC, CBS, FOX and every network in-between.
However, as my career and column flourished, I faced some very tough times. Two failed marriages and a devastating suicide by someone I loved, left me questioning my purpose in life.
In 2012, on the advice of my children, I started the One Tough Muther (#OTM) advice column. A web critic critiqued me as “Dear Abby on steroids” due to my tough love answers and my column skyrocketed. To date, I’ve been published in magazines, interviewed on radio shows, on podcasts and TV shows. In August of this year, The One Tough Muther Show hit the market. Premiering on CBS Radio with co-hosts, Tough Muther and Tough Brother Seth, we aim to inspire women at any stage in life, to believe in themselves with self-confidence, building self-esteem and courage.
Our goal is to help women realize, that the only person that must truly believe in you, is YOU.
able guests include: Gloria Allred, Kara Goldin, Melinda Wittstock, Joy Altimare, Erin Cole, Dr. Lillian Glass, Retired Lieutenant Colonel Tracy “JackieO” Latourette, Polo Tate, Taylor Daynes, Dr. Anna Lee Fisher, and Jennifer Dulski.
Compellingly honest, inspiring, educational, emotional, and at times edgy, One Tough Muther, Tough Brother Seth, and their guests will stop at nothing to help guide and empower women.
Remember, you don’t have to be a Mother, to be One Tough Mother. It’s all about U!

Eron Constante Eron Constante is a music producer based in LA and is also currently the keyboardist in the band The Microwave Babies. Born and raised on the island of Saipan, Eron found his interest in music at an early age, learning how to play the drums, piano, and ukulele during his elementary and middle school years. In high school, he picked up an interest in conducting ensembles, leading him to believe that when he grew up he’d pursue a career in conducting and composition. That all changed when he discovered GarageBand.
Knowing that a computer is all he needed to gain full control of all the aspects of music, he took a dive at producing music based on his understanding of music theory and piano playing. Fast forward several years later and he now works in Logic Pro X and has collaborated with a number of artists including Almira Kate, Henry Piper, Melsvista, Les, and Neither Nor. Though a short list now, the list will grow as he continues to produce more work.
“On the side” Eron is pursuing a communications studies degree at Cal State LA.

Pauline Joseph Pauline Joseph left Microsoft to pursue building her Digital Marketing business full time.
The private sector in Trinidad and Tobago has an opportunity to use Digital Marketing to tell their story, while learning about their audience. Unfortunately the Advertising and Marketing industry has not done a great job of integrating traditional media with social networks such as Facebook. There is also enough data to influence decision making, but decision makers are too reliant on what ‘they have always done’.
9 years in the Digital Marketing Industry has taught Pauline that she’s unofficially a Change Agent. Change is hard. Something she learnt from her personal journey, as someone who couldn’t swim to becoming a triathlete. She understands that organisations may experience resistance towards adoption, but it’s part of the process to accept that Digital isn’t going anywhere.

Jason Jean Jason Jean was born in Williamsport, PA. His mother and father instilled hardworking, blue-collar values in him from a young age. At only 14, he was running his own roofing crew. He played football in high school and used that skill later in college. After an ankle injury playing college football, Jason came back to his hometown. He needed something more, and his dad suggested he join the Air Force. He was stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, Montana, where he was part of the 341st Security Forces Group. After suffering a debilitating knee injury, he was honorably discharged a short time later, destroying his dream of being a military lifer.
Once he left the Air Force, Jason’s entrepreneurial spirit finally had a chance to break out. He owned his own construction company, which lead to many great experiences. He has also been involved in various other enterprises, including nightclubs, hotels, alternative lifestyle events, and cafes. He has made it a point to give back to military veterans throughout his businesses, whether that be through helping feed homeless veterans in Central PA at his cafes or giving them a place to stay in a building he owned.
Because of his mission to give back to the veterans he admires, he kept striving to find a bigger way to achieve that. Seeing all the stories about organizations misusing funds that were supposed to go to veterans, Jason knew he had to do something. Why weren’t these funds going directly to veterans? Why is there so much red tape? After doing research on how these non-profits operated, an idea was born. He was in the process of working with a roaster in Lancaster County, PA, to start a coffee line. With so many Americans drinking coffee every single day, why not use that as a vehicle to drive donations directly to veterans?
Tattered Beans is a veteran owned, veteran focused coffee company that gives back directly to veterans. Through their direct donation project, proceeds from each bag of coffee sold goes directly to the veteran or military branch of the customer’s choice. How is that possible? Customers simply go to tatteredbeans.com, select a veteran or military branch, then shop for their coffee as normal. For each $12 bag of coffee sold, $4 is given to the veteran selected. Because transparency is important to Tattered Beans, we want to make it clear that we are a for-profit company that operates on $1 per bag sold. What happens when a customer selects a military branch instead? Tattered Beans then takes that money and gives it to a veteran within the database under that branch that had no donations that month.
One obstacle that Tattered Beans has faced is getting veterans involved. Putting money directly in their pockets is not an easy sell, as not everyone needs, or is willing to admit they need, help. This led Tattered Beans to give veterans options. When submitting their information at vets.tatteredbeans.com, veterans (or their loved ones) have the option to choose if the money goes directly to them, to a veteran they know needs help, or to an organization that is close to their heart. The only requirement for veterans is that they were honorably discharged. Tattered Beans wants to make sure every veteran knows that their service to our country is greatly appreciated.
Tattered Beans stands out from the veteran-owned coffee company crowd because of their unique direct donation project. Jason Jean, the founder, has made it a mission to make a positive impact in veterans’ lives throughout the country. Tattered Beans has made it a goal to give back $4,000,000 to veterans by the end of 2019. To get involved, head over to tatteredbeans.com and get started.

Dr. Tomia Austin #TraitWarrior
Dr. Tomia Austin, a Sickle Cell Trait (SCT) Educator, Advocate & Researcher, travels the country educating parents, coaches & student-athletes on how being tested for & educated about SCT can help alleviate fear of not being able to compete as SCT carrier among other things. Nationally, many of the nearly 4 million people of African, Latin, Asian, Indian, Italian, Mediterranean, Greek and Turkish descent have SCT without knowing or understanding the true health implications of having SCT. This audience is directly targeted on her weekly Facebook-based show - #TraitWarrior where SCT carriers are highlighted, including athletes’ success stories of excelling in collegiate & professional sports due to knowledgeable & compliant coaching and training staffs.
#SickleCellTraitEducationDr. Austin, as Executive Director of the As One Foundation (AOF), authored a program – Operation Hydration - to bring awareness to SCT and promote hydration as prevention of adverse effects such as exertional sickling. The AOF was established by NFL wide-receiver and SCT carrier, Devard Darling, to honor the memory of his late brother, Devaughn Darling, who died of dehydration and exhaustion complicated by SCT. Under Dr. Austin’s leadership the new mission of the foundation became to educate & increase awareness of sickle cell trait while encouraging youth to achieve their dreams in the face of life challenges. Dr. Austin’s nearly 20 years of dedicated work in the higher education and not-for-profit sectors fuels her pursuit of health literacy for disadvantaged populations – especially young athletes of color. Her work focus and research interest areas include genetics, sickle cell anemia and sickle cell trait, dehydration, asthma, youth sports, high school, college and professional athletics, physical activity and obesity among populations of African, Caribbean, Asian, Indian, Latin, Italian, Greek, Turkish and Mediterranean descent. Dr. Austin has had experience in community settings on local, county, state, national and international levels, laying the foundation for globally impactful contributions to the research. As a telecommuter to Metro Houston, Texas in her executive role, she makes her home in Metro Atlanta with her husband, Douglas.
Dying to Win?
While the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) mandates SCT screenings for all collegiate athletes due to exertional sickling deaths’ classification as student athletes’ top killer, student-athletes can opt out of SCT testing and are provided minimal SCT education. High schools receive no SCT education and are not mandated to test for SCT – even though high schoolers have died similarly. Exertional sickling deaths of athletes are largely preventable deaths. Winning does not have to come at the cost of another young athlete’s life. Hence, Dr. Austin’s goal is to eradicate exertional deaths & pre-season funerals of young athletes.
Goal – 2020 by 2020.
Dr. Austin's goal is to provide SCT education & screenings to 2,020 school districts by the end of 2020. In order to qualify for educational grants participants must take pre/posttests to measure SCT knowledge gain. Join the movement to STOP WORKOUT SEASON FUNERALS. To register your school for SCT education; to be a guest on the #TraitWarrior Facebook show or to join the email list for access to latest news, visit:https://tinyurl.com/SickleCellTraitEducation.

Diane Brewster Diane Brewster: I'm a 47yr old 5th generation New Zealander of european decent, living in Auckland NZ. I have two children - a 14yr old son and 12yr old daughter. I started in science in 1990 as one of the last Technical Trainees with the Department of Science and Industrial Research (DSIR) a government and industry funded research organisation. In 1992 the DSIR was restructured and my section was HortResearch. It was further restructured when HortResearch and a sister institute (Crop and Food Research) amalgamated and we are now known as Plant and Food Research. https://www.plantandfood.co.nz/ I've had a variety of roles in the following 29 years in a range of science disciplines from agricultural physics and nursery work to molecular biology and biochemistry, and in project management and compliance roles. I'm currently a proteomics specialist and am pursuing a Masters in Chemistry with the University of Auckland this year, studying biosensors. So from a Jack of All Trades, to hopefully being a Master of at least one! Last year I took on a role as one of the podcasterd for the Scigest series https://www.plantandfood.co.nz/page/news/podcast-index/ with an emphasis on working with schools from my time as a School Board Trustee of my local primary school. I'm naturally quite awkward at trying to explain my science to non-scientists, as are a lot of scientists, so I took the opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and try to help scientists get their science stories out to the masses - a work in progress! I also do voiceovers for our Plant and Food media team. Its easier reading a script! Outside of work, I'm part of a viking reenactment group in NZ, and loving the physical fighting and the cultural and history components of the group. I've also just this week started in business with a group of friends - a steep learning curve - and loving another opportunity to push that comfort zone even further. Listen to another #12minconvo

She completed a General Practice Residency in 2000 at Woodhull Hospital in Brooklyn, NY, then worked in Manhattan for one year. In 2006, Dr. Poskozim found a practice in the Sauganash area of Chicago on the Northwest Side.
Thanks to her grandmother, who needed a new lower partial denture but could not leave the house, Dr. Poskozim now makes house calls. Ten years later, providing oral care in Chicagoland in the comfort of seniors' homes/assisted care facilities has become an integral part of her dental practice. One out of ten seniors die from dental neglect. It has now become Dr. Joy's mission to see a dental room in every assisted care facility.
Scott Ford Scott Ford: I love fixing and maintaining existing applications. So much so, that I've built a team of like-minded people to focus exclusively on legacy code projects. Through my business, Corgibytes, I help businesses breathe new life into old code. I call this software remodeling. Just like how you wouldn't bulldoze your house if you wanted to update your kitchen, it's often more cost-effective to improve the app you already have instead of starting over. I specialize in test-driven development and love working in many languages, platforms and frameworks.
RUBY DEVELOPMENT
I've worked on ruby projects using Locomotive, Spree, Mongoid, Devise, Radiant, Nokogiri, and obviously Rails, Sinatra, cucumber and rspec. I was a testing fanatic before ruby, so the testing tools are what brought me here.
CODE MECHANIC
Since I can remember, I've been allured by the mysteries of machines. I was a constant tinkerer. So much so that my mother instilled the "you're not allowed to take it apart unless it's already broken" rule because I dismantled one too many appliances just to analyze the innards. So, it's almost natural that I love fixing bugs in software. I love participating in the open source community because I get giddy whenever I come across a bug and fix it. Even though ruby is my favorite, there's no limit to the languages I'll employ to fix bugs. Over the past fifteen years, I've fixed bugs using Bash, Basic (wow - that takes me back!), Batch, C, C++, C#, Delphi, Fortran, Java, JavaScript, Lisp, Objective-C, Pascal, PHP, Prolog, Ruby, Scheme, VB.NET, Visual Basic, and many more.
SOFTWARE CRAFTER
Software as craft? It's how I see the world. But instead of plaster or wood, my medium is bits and bytes. I constantly seek ways to refine coding techniques, find creative fixes, and deliver elegant solutions to all sorts of business problems

Jeanette Peacock Jeanette Peacock: I’m a veteran of designing and delivering training programs to thousands of people, as well as a coach and thinking partner to leaders and their teams. I’m certified to coach learning, parenting, and executive development. I’m also the founder of Learn2LearnNow®, a learning & development company that leverages brain science, educational psychology and coaching techniques to train children of all ages the cutting-edge science, strategies and tools that empower them to tap into and engineer their cognition and behavior…because science tells us that everyone has the potential to be smart, but few are professionally trained the science and strategy of learning…and I don’t think that’s fair! To level the playing field, I researched and collaborated with neuroscientists and learning experts to create training programs that install the knowledge, skills, tools and daily habits, used by centuries by Master Learners, and now scientifically-proven to optimize learning, thinking and working. These are the traits and behaviors experts agree are essential for individuals to outperform their competition and remain relevant in a transformative world, growing increasingly more automated and populated by artificial intelligence. These are the employment currency of tomorrow, the bank that will build security. My mission is to empower as many children as possible by equipping them with the skills they need to earn A’s today, beat the competition tomorrow and remain relevant in the future. I envision a world in which a level playing field exists so that all children have access to the type of training that creates Master Learners and guarantees success.
I’m working every day to make that happen. And now, together with friends, family and a legion of volunteers, I’ve launched Stepping Up for Children in Need, The Annette Foundation, Inc., made possible by generous donations from people across the world. This foundation is the realization of my sister, Annette Lavery’s, vision. A former teacher, humanitarian and child advocate, Annette died in November 2017, just before her 55th birthday. In life, Annette inspired all who knew her to step up for people in need, especially children. Even as she contemplated death, Annette’s primary focus remained with those less fortunate than she. Just days before she died, she took my hand and asked me one last time to step up. I do so by equipping the children who need it most with the same developmental opportunities as those delivered by my commercial enterprise. It is, by far, the best thing I’ve ever done.

Kate Green Kate Green: I’m the Quality Architect at Upside Travel. I'm very interested in solving challenging problems and building teams to be their best. I also love software testing and making products that are easy to use for both customers and engineers. I operate at the intersection of people and technology and you’ll find me questioning how technology is the best solution to the problem at hand. I’m empathetic, detail-oriented, and an out-of-the-box thinker. With a BS in Elementary Education, learning and development are central to both my personal growth and also to how I work with teams. I’m especially interested in the process of becoming an expert. My approach to software engineering is people-based. I want to know how people will use my solutions and will eschew technology solutions if they add too much work for users. In my spare time, I’ve gotten very good at many skills, including music, running, dog training (especially agility with my cattle dog Reba!).

After 25 years as a highly successful Sr. Account Exec, Eileen’s “aha” moment came, and it was loud and clear. She got crystal clear on what truly mattered, walked away from her six-figure career, simplified her own life in countless ways, and in 2009 Simplify with Eileen was born.
Inspiring and coaching her business & residential clients how to simplify their lives and thrive, is Eileen’s true calling.
Guiding transformations beyond just cluttered desks or closets - and to cluttered relationships, obligations, schedules, perceptions - opens the door for us to truly shine, grow and embrace a life of ease and simplicity.
When not working directly with clients to “say yes to less”, Eileen can be found letting her inner athlete come out to play, savoring connections with good friends, sharing life with her loving husband & feather babies, curled up with an inspirational read, leading workshops & presentations on simplicity, mentoring inspired women curious about striking out on their own, and excitedly co-producing the 4th year of Create Your Life’s annual transformational events!

After enduring years of intense work place stress, harassment and bullying, she plummeted into an abyss of darkness, hopelessness and despair the likes of which she had never experienced before.
Encouraged by a psychologist, Tracey started a Blog, Escaping the Rabbit Hole: my life with depression, to better help her friends understand her depression. Over time, Tracey began to heal and found that out of the darkness and despair, there is hope, there is life after depression.

Elizabeth Ross Holmstrom “We are on the cusp of a major shift in business management and leadership practices; moving from boss leadership to service leadership, and employers are hustling hard to catch up. I serve CEOs who are invested in improving the employee experience and their business.”
Elizabeth is a natural entrepreneur, connector and systems change architect. She has over 20 years of experience in leadership engagement and wellness program implementation, has managed national account relationships and served as VP, Senior Health and Wellness Manager at a national bank with 26,000 employees. She left the corporate world after realizing that her efforts were not addressing the root cause of the problems she saw every day: stress, burnout, overwhelm.
After years of research and a successful pilot program, Elizabeth was committed to focusing full time on bringing powerful pauses into the workplace. Knowing that not every company can hire a Chief Mindfulness Officer like Google or Aetna, Elizabeth launched BreakTogether to help even the smallest businesses thrive. Through that work, she observed a growing field of professionals focused on improving the employee experience in the workplace through mindfulness and leadership development programs; howver, there were very few people helping employers connect the dots – across different service deliveries, departments, or line items. She saw a need to work on this more systemically, and architect a way for small and medium size businesses to access resources collaboratively, affordably, and strategically. This need is the foundation for the Mindful Employer Designation and Collaborative.
Outside of work, Elizabeth finds balance through spending time with family and community, mountain biking, cooking, singing, and quarry swimming along the coast of Maine.

Matt Gagnon Matt Gagnon is a professional Co-Active coach certified by the Coaches Training Institute, credentialed by the International Coach Federation, a member of the Forbes Coaches Council, keynote speaker, best selling author, and brings 15 years of corporate sales and leadership experience.
Matt believes in living a life aligned with your values. We all have up to five core values - that when honored, evoke the best in us. The problem is that many people live life with values defined by others leaving one feeling empty and like they are never enough.
Matt was living what looked like a successful life with a six-figure job, nice house, nice car, nice clothes, etc. Behind the curtain he was actually spirally out of control resulting in chronic illness, depression, addiction, and an attempted suicide. His lifestyle eventually resulted in disability and losing the only career he had ever known.
After leaning into his faith, Matt stopped being a victim and chose to see his adversity as a call to adventure. With a purely grass-roots effort he built a thriving international coaching business. He focused on protecting his supply lines (prayer time, sleep, nutrition, fitness, inner circle of friends) and rediscovered his core values. He chose to write his own comeback story.
Today Matt is helping transform lives across the globe by encouraging people to rediscover their core values, regain control of their lives, and empower them to live the life they have always wanted. That is called Living With a Courageous Heart.

I began my career as a Registered Nurse working in both inpatient and outpatient settings. When I graduated from Nursing School, I was riddled with a lack of self-confidence and self-esteem. Nursing School was not easy for me; all too often, it seemed I was criticized on what I did not do well versus my positive achievements. As a new nurse, I joined a unit with older, experienced nurses who were not the most welcoming, not happy with their lives or their career and soon I found myself disengaging and looking for new opportunities. Ever hear of the phrase "Nurses Eat Their Young?" Well, the sad truth is it still exists...
§ I am passionate about working with new nursing graduates who are either seeking their first position or are in a residency program. My mission is to guide and empower new grads to increase their self-confidence, find their voice, ensure their values and goals align with the healthcare organization they join and build resilience for positive engagement and career success.
After a brief sabbatical from Nursing, I returned to a position with Human Resources as a Nursing Interviewer. My desire was to facilitate matching nurses with the units they were exploring through effective interviewing. I moved on to develop the first Nursing Recruitment division at Swedish Hospital Medical Center in Seattle, working closely with the Nursing Division and HR. I soon became aware that while we had an effective recruitment division, we needed to ensure new nurses were onboarding well and engaging, while supporting all nurses with recognition, respect and professional career growth. I was instrumental in forming a Nursing Engagement/Retention division to support our nurses.
In 2010, I returned to Nursing Recruitment working with candidates and clients on a national basis. I soon realized many of my clients lacked a focus on nursing engagement and retention. All too often, after placing a nurse in their desired position, I would receive a call within their first-year inquiring of other opportunities. My experience as a full-cycle Nursing/Healthcare Recruiter led me to the field of coaching to gain the skillset to make a difference in people’s lives.
Certified through the PROPEL Institute and using the PROPEL Coaching™ methodology, I provide evidence-based and proven coaching services to healthcare organizations to ensure nurses are onboarded well, engaged and feel respected, and that both nursing and leadership teams are working collaboratively together. Promoting a positive and healthy work environment leads to increased nurse and staff engagement and retention, a higher level of quality patient care, and cost reductions.
I am passionate about guiding nurses who are either in career transition or have become disillusioned with their current position, to first and foremost, gain clarity on the direction of their career path, identify their talents, passions and values and help to ensure they are joining a company in alignment with their personal and professional values.

Maxwell Cohen Maxwell Cohen is the founder, CEO and president of Peel Away Labs (www.Peelaways.com), the innovative start-up company that developed Peelaways, the bedding industry’s first multilayered, disposable, waterproof fitted sheet designed for the home, industrial and healthcare markets.
While attending the University of Arizona, Cohen observed students were not changing their bed sheets because stripping the bed, doing the laundry and remaking the bed were such a hassle. He also noticed his grandparents were struggling to change their own fitted sheet. Realizing this was a challenge for multiple life stages, including parents of toddlers, Cohen knew there had to be a better way. As a result, he created the patented solution, Peelaways, enabling consumers or health professionals to simply peel away the top layer to reveal a clean sheet below in seconds.
Cohen’s entrepreneurial spirit and sheer determination led him to raise $1.3 million dollars in funding after three years of research and development resulting in a superior product. Today, Cohen has secured major retailers and distributors worldwide, including consumer retailers Walmart, Amazon, Bed, Bath and Beyond, and Zulily, and hospital distributors Cardinal Health and McKesson. Cohen has also appeared on ABC’s “Shark Tank.“
Cohen studied Environmental and Water Resource Economics at the University of Arizona, where he graduated in 2013.

Sírí S Opli
Sírí S Opli has always loved to paint and draw. Her painting style is very intuitive, and most of the times, she doesn’t know what she has been painting until it is finished.
Sírí loves colours, floating forms, and to paint the energy in words. To her, the spectator is the most important part of the painting. The person who looks at an image creates the motive in the now.
Inspiration exists in a divine stream, which Siri only can describe as coming through her, and not from her. She is a channel for artistic expression. This is her purpose and gift to the world.
As she loves illustrating, and loves words, it is natural her gift attracts commissions from poets, bloggers and authors from all around the globe.

Derek Stewart Derek Stewart - Podcaster Interviewing Entrepreneurs Running the FASTEST GROWING Companies in Australia
Discovering that accounting was not for him, and having caught the travel bug, Derek packed his life into a 12kg backpack and moved to Manila, Philippines to do an internship with an Australian outsourcing company. He jumped into the deep end, despite taking the job before ever having visited Asia, launching head first and not looking back.
Starting in a new job, in a new industry, moving to a city where he knew no one, and a continent he had never visited before was just the beginning. The journey and adventure of expatriating and coming with nothing but his instincts and judgement to survive and thrive took him through a roller coaster of ups and downs, and an amazing period of self-learning and self-improvement. To say it was life changing would be an understatement.
After spending nearly half a decade across Asia, working for fast growing Aussie-led companies, helping Aussie small businesses and entrepreneur clients go global, think bigger and achieve more, he returned home to Melbourne.
Believing that entrepreneurship, business, new enterprise, capitalism, big ideas and innovation will be the building blocks and motor driving Australia forward he created the "FUTURE OF AUSTRALIA" project, to interview the Founders, CEOs and Entrepreneurs behind the fastest growing new businesses in Australia.
"FUTURE OF AUSTRALIA" is about interviewing, celebrating and sharing the knowledge, aspirations, struggles, goals and achievements of these people with a broader audience.

Jodi Salice Jodi Salice: Hi! I'm Jodi Salice, and I used to be a rock star!
What does that have to do with graphic design?
Well, my band and I spent a lot of time trying to work out our "image" and "look the part." We were talented enough to share the stage with a world famous band, but none of us fit the stereotypes of the rock band lifestyle.
We were introverted, substance free, clean cut, and eager to get home for bed at the end of every long gig. Oh... and we were Christians.
At the time, I was a graphic design noob (though I had a lifetime of art experience and a BA) and I designed all our branding and promotional materials. My work was "awesome" at the time because it made our band look like bonafide rock stars!
I sincerely thought that would help to make us famous, but our image didn't fit the deeper essence of who we were... quiet and content in our own thoughts.
Consequently, we did not attract the right audiences. Gigs failed before they even began because we didn't meet social expectations. Our “image” caused us to look the wrong part, and the discrepancy sabotaged our efforts to develop a loyal fan base.
Eventually, our band split and we went our separate ways. The experience was painful, but I learned a hard lesson.
I went back to college to focus on graphic design, graduated with a perfect GPA, and in 2005 after three years gaining hands-on experience at a local printing company, I left to pursue my career in visual branding.
I have since developed a MUCH better understanding of the deeper purpose of graphic design, won three American Advertising Awards, and have enjoyed all these years as an independent provider and church musician.
My mission is to continue helping business-folk succeed through high-quality, strategic visual branding. And maybe sing a bit, too! http://www.highrealmgraphics.com https://instagram.com/highrealmgraphics/ https://www.facebook.com/HighRealmGraphics/ https://twitter.com/highrealm https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodilynsalice/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWF9rwkQwVkzW5l5lyxxdg?view_as=subscriber Listen to another #12minconvo
Starra Andrews When Starra Andrews wasn't swimming the Pacific Ocean in her hometown of Laguna Beach, California, she busied herself by writing fantasy stories and acting on stage. Having grown up watching Rod Serling’s Twilight Zone and Night Gallery show on TV, Starra quickly fell in love with paranormal tales with a message of wisdom and love.
Also, being a fan of romance novels and non-fiction ghost stories, she decided to marry the two and write paranormal novels of suspense, adventure, and intrigue with a strong romantic foundation. The sense of adventure inside her came from summers of camping with her family in Mexico (Baja California) and walking along beaches with no other footprints but hers, as her family members unpacked the camper and got ready to collect clams right off the shoreline for dinner.
After attaining a B.A. degree in Theatre from University of California, Irvine, and a Professional Acting Certificate from LACC Acting Academy, an idea sparked for interviewing actors to help student actors entering the theatre arena. Starra’s non-fiction book The Pursuit of Acting; Working Actors Share Their Experience and Advice was published by Praeger Publishers/ABC CLIO. Then, her paranormal short story A Hasty Decision appeared in the online magazine for speculative fiction Aberrant Dreams, and when Llewellyn Worldwide Publishers asked for real paranormal encounter stories for their Scary Story Contest, she won first place. Starra is also a member of the International Thriller Writers, which hosts the Thrillerfest writers conference every year in NYC.
The beautiful Hudson Valley in upstate New York is where Starra now calls home. She loves being a quick train ride from New York City, but also enjoys country life. Her two tabby cats Audrey Hepburn and Vivien Leigh are her constant writing companions, and love to curl up on the table next to her laptop.
Her heroine, psychic/paranormal cleanser Vivien Kelly and her team are in a race to rid the modern world of deadly Celtic creatures in her book trilogy, The Kelly Society. Bay of Darkness is the first book of the series.

He is also the Chief Operations Officer of Caribbean Entrepreneur. A startup purposed on building an entrepreneurial ecosystem and spreading telling the entrepreneurial stories of Caribbean Entrepreneurs.
Shawn has over a decade of experience in banking, tourism, civil service, and small business management and is currently establishing Trek Tours as a brand name for outdoor activity in Antigua.
Shawn hails from the picturesque village of Falmouth, on the south east coast of Antigua. He completed his undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of the Southern Caribbean in Trinidad followed by a Post Graduate Diploma in Human Resources Management from Humber College in Toronto, Canada. As a life long learner, Shawn is constantly seeking opportunities to continuously grow both intellectually and through life experiences.
When he’s not out on the trail, you can find Shawn helping to mold the future of the Antigua’s youths as a Probation Officer in the Ministry of Social Transformation or as a part time lecturer in Organizational Behavior and Human Resources Management at the Antigua State College.
Shawn’s island upbringing proved to be the driving force behind his first published work titled, "How to Work Six Jobs on An Island." His book brilliantly paints the picture of island life while simultaneously capturing his journey through entrepreneurship. In it, he describes how he became a Pyrotechnician, Tour Guide, and Assistant Restaurant Manager. His book has been nominated for the 2017/2018 Wadadli Pen’s Antigua & Barbuda Readers Choice Book of the Year Award.
In September of 2018, Shawn was awarded a fellowship as the sole Antiguan representation to the Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative. This United States Department program was comprised of 250 entrepreneurs from Latin America and the Caribbean. The fellowship allowed entrepreneurs from the region to learn from, and be mentored by, entrepreneurs and corporations from twenty different city hubs across the United States. Shawn spent four weeks in Little Rock, Arkansas, learning and networking with established business owners and professionals. During this time, a pitch competition was held as part of the programs’ mandate to help entrepreneurs promote their businesses. Shawn was among the 36 semi-finalists, who successfully advanced to the 2nd round. He represented his company, Trek Tours, and Antigua and Barbuda, as a premier tour company and vacation destination for world travelers.
Shawn credits his successes thus far to his God given desire to make the most out of life and every opportunity presented to him. He also recognizes the positive contribution he has received from family and friends who continuously encourage and support his endeavors. Shawn strongly believes this foundation of love and encouragement has played a key role in his successes to date.
His life mantra is a simple one: Let’s Move The World.

Janine K. Iannarelli Janine K. Iannarelli is the founder and president of Par Avion Ltd. She has more than 30 years of business aviation experience representing numerous corporations and private individuals worldwide with the sale and purchase of business aircraft. Par Avion is an aircraft marketing firm that specializes in the exclusive representation and acquisition of aircraft with an emphasis on pre-owned business jets valued upwards of $65,000,000 (USD).
Ms. Iannarelli has extensive experience in cross-border transactions, with nearly 90 percent of Par Avion’s business concentrated in this area of specialization. The scope of her experience with aircraft sales transactions reaches well beyond the procurement process in that she has in-depth interactions with the OEMs, maintenance facilities and completion centers specific to these aircraft. Ms. Iannarelli also works directly with designated representatives of the Federal Aviation Administration as well as with many other countries’ civil aviation authorities where she has placed or procured aircraft.
One of many notable adventures in Ms. Iannarelli’s career was her involvement in the ferrying of a Falcon 10 and 100 from the tip of South Africa to Texas in 1997. Making this adventure unique was that Ms. Iannarelli was surely the first woman aircraft broker to undertake this endeavor. The range of these airplanes dictated that a number of stops en route would need to be made, particularly on the African continent, traveling within range of then war-torn countries and negotiating with local ground support whose first language is French. The experience included traversing the Sahara Desert, the Atlantic Ocean to the Canary Islands and on to Europe. The North Atlantic leg posed one of the greatest challenges given that flight planning is especially critical with a short-legged airplane.
A 1983 graduate of Montclair State University in Upper Montclair, N.J., Ms. Iannarelli earned a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration with a specific concentration in marketing and a minor in psychology. She studied the French Language at L’ALLIANCE FRANCAISE de Houston and earned continuing education credits from Rice University in Houston, Texas. She is a current member of the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), European Business Aviation Association (EBAA), Women in Aviation, International, and the American Marketing Association. In February of 2016 Ms. Iannarelli was invited to serve on the EBAA Associate Member’s Sales and Acquisition committee providing expert input on international sales transactions and in March of 2017 was appointed its Chair. Ms. Iannarelli is listed at the NBAA Web site as a source “Available to Comment” to local, national and international media. She attends numerous industry–related seminars sponsored by the NBAA, Professional Aviation Maintenance Association (PAMA) and various manufacturers and aviation product vendors.
In January 2016, Ms. Iannarelli was reappointed and named presiding officer by Governor Greg Abbott to the Texas Aerospace and Aviation Advisory Committee to which she was originally appointed by former Governor Rick Perry. As one of 10 state-wide appointed committee members, she seeks out and encourages business development in the state, specific to her area of expertise. Included among the accolades and awards bestowed upon Ms. Iannarelli is being named a Great Woman of Texas by the Fort Worth Business Press in 2011; named by the Texas Women’s Chamber of Commerce as one of the final four for the Texas Business Woman of the Year, April 2016 and again in July 2017; one of three inducted into the Aviation Hall of Fame of New Jersey, September 2016; named among the “99” finalists for inclusion to the National Aviation Hall of Fame of Dayton, Ohio September 2016; honored by Texas Executive Women as a Woman on the Move November 2016; named by Enterprising Women Magazine as a 2017 Enterprising Women of the Year Champion. In 2017 Ms. Iannarelli was honored as one of the “Women Who Mean Business, Outstanding Leader in Professional Services” by the Houston Business Journal and one of four Houston area women for being leaders in STEM related fields by GirlStart. Houston Woman Magazine recently named her as one of Houston’s 50 Most Influential Women of 2017.
As a sought after mentor and inspirational advisor, she often speaks before women’s and youth organizations about career development and life skill sets necessary to navigate the business world. Ms. Iannarelli routinely serves as a reliable source on business aviation for local, regional, national and international media on a variety of business aviation and small business topics. She is a regular panelist and presenter at industry events that focus on current valuations and trends in the new and preowned global marketplace for aircraft.
Ms. Iannarelli is a passionate supporter of the arts and charities that benefit children and animals. She commits both her personal time and resources to these endeavors. In 2017 she was appointed to the Advisory Board of Houston PetSet and in 2018 to the Houston Girl Start Council. She is a past board member of Mercury, The Orchestra Redefined, and a sponsor of the Houston Police Department’s Mounted Patrol. For more than 25 years, she was a sponsor, board member, competitor and volunteer with The Pin Oak Charity Horse Show which benefits Texas Children’s Hospital and for which Ms. Iannarelli currently serves as an Ambassador. She is a founding member of the Peace Parks Foundation headquartered in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Additionally, Ms. Iannarelli is an avid cyclist and an accomplished equestrian who competed for over 30 years in the amateur divisions at hunter/jumper shows at the regional and national level in the United States.

Listen in to learn from the best of the best. What makes a great brand, marketing campaign, or turnaround. Learn from the stories of these great leaders and how you can unleash your potential.
Alan is a serial entrepreneur and marketing thought leader with experience serving on eight companies’ executive teams, unleashing growth potential and transforming organizations. He served industries as varied as consumer products/services, technology, telecommunications, life sciences, healthcare, packaging, chemicals, media, travel, education, and financial services. His expertise in brand strategy, innovation, marketing effectiveness, and future trends across consumer and B2B industries informs all his work.
As Managing Partner & Founder of ATOMCK since 2016, Alan led start-up operations (marketing, business development, building client delivery teams across brand, marketing analytics, sales/operations), and achieved customer acquisition targets of 300%+. He helped a global education company attain greater traction on internal projects and growth targets, a national battery brand to improve marketing ROI; and assisted a start-up to achieve its objectives, resulting in its successful acquisition.
Earlier, Alan founded Keen Strategy and served as its Managing Partner (2010–2015). Leading the 7th fastest growing company in NC, he directed operations in marketing, business development, back-office, built client delivery teams, and led customer assignments that had transformational results. To give a few examples: He enabled a five-fold category growth for a major consumer brand; improved the value propositions and customer insights for a global $8B diversified manufacturer, resulting in two new business models (each $100MM+ in size), and the identification of $138MM in additional customer value; helped a global consumer-goods company with an 11-brand portfolio grow and attain savings by leading a marketing investment optimization, and subsequently save $30MM and attain a 5% incremental growth in revenue; and created and implemented sales strategies/processes that led to a $9MM sales pipeline of Fortune 1000 prospects. A published author in CMO.com, Economist.com, and Effie.org., Alan further evolved thought leadership by producing a video/podcast series with some of the world’s top marketing professionals and business leaders that reached (in partnership with Effie Worldwide) the industry’s most influential agency and marketing executives.
From 2010 to 2011, Alan served as Chief Strategy Officer, Head of Marketing and Trustee of UK Charity for WomanCare Global (Chapel Hill, San Diego and London). In this role, he successfully drove the company’s reorganization, turned around its marketing department, expanded the product portfolio, and increased growth funding, investment sources, and the company’s revenue stream.
Alan started his professional career at Bell & Howell in 1999, progressing in roles of greater responsibilities, culminating with that of GM, and overseeing lines of up to $172MM in revenue. As a product Planning Intern at Dell Technologies in 2005, he contributed to margin by $26MM/year through innovative strategies, and by $265MM through the delivery of graphics/visualization industry analyses and recommendations. He joined CMG Partners in 2006 as a Senior Consultant & Manager, quickly became a Client Manager leader, developing and leading the market strategy practice area, and managing 30% of the firm’s resources in client engagement. In this role, he significantly impacted the firm’s revenue and thought leadership, and brought great value to his clients by creating marketing, brand, growth and customer engagement strategies, and national/local marketing alignment.
Alan is active in numerous non-profit boards, is a prolific author/creator of blogs, articles and podcasts, and a sought-after presenter/workshop leader on a variety of marketing topics.
He earned a B.A. in Psychology from North Carolina State University, and an MBA from the Kenan-Flagler Business School, The University of North Carolina.

Having achieved something he considered impossible - to quit alcohol and not even miss it - he asked himself the question, “What else have I talked myself out of, because of my self imposed limitations?” He transformed himself from an overweight, unhealthy middle-aged time bomb, into an athlete capable of sports biggest challenge - riding the Tour de France for charity on the same schedule as the pros. Now Andy helps others get control of their addictions using a revolutionary new approach with hitherto unseen success rates. Find out more at https://theboozemaster.com Listen to another #12minconvo

In 2010, Adam became the founding CEO of Soparfilm Energy, a corporation that invested early in fracking for oil and gas production.

Emem Washington Emem Washington: Known as ‘The Dream Ambassador’ to many, Emem Washington’s mission is to inspire, motivate and cheer millions towards success, regardless of where they are, or where they have been in life. She is a firm believer in the God who gave Joseph dreams of his own and made them come true. She has a following of over 50,000 on Social Media (nearly 25K followers on Instagram alone), where she shares her message of hope and inspiration. In 2018 Emem published her book ‘Rise From the Shadows: Overcome Your Past, Reclaim Your Voice, Live Your Light,’ which encourages readers to show up authentically as themselves and stop dimming their light. She also co-authored the anthology ‘Women of Purpose,’ which is a collection of inspiring stories to encourage readers not to give up on fulfilling their purpose in life. In addition to being an Author, she is also a Singer/Songwriter, a Speaker, Teacher and Attorney based in Texas.
Singer/Songwriter:
Emem Washington is known for her powerful vocals, incredible songs that she regularly performs all over America along with her music being aired on various radio stations. Having been part of her church choir and leading worship teams for several years she decided to take her talent to the studio, working with producers in Houston and Atlanta. If you love music by TobyMac or Hollyn, Israel Houghton or Mandisa, then you will LOVE her debut album ‘Rebirth.’ It is a MUST HAVE for anyone searching for songs of hope with a unique sound.
Speaker/Teacher:
Emem’s speaking has allowed her to appear on numerous local, national and international platforms including schools, seminars and conferences. She has spoken at conferences such as the Flourish Media Conference, the Just Do It Women’s Conference in Belize, Talent Ignited (where she served as Keynote Speaker) and PublisHER Author Conference, to name a few.
She also hosts her own conferences and workshops locally in Houston, Texas called “Leading Ladies Events” where women are inspired and motivated to uncover their purpose and discover the vital steps necessary to live their purpose out fully and turn their dreams into reality. The topics are the perfect balance of practical and inspirational, and she shares from her heart, blending her legal, entrepreneurial, familial and spiritual experiences into real and relatable advice and encouragement. She has a special way of connecting with, and bringing together, people from different walks of life.
Advocate:
Emem is innately an advocate, which led her to become an attorney in 2002, after graduating with a B.S. in Biology (Chemistry minor). She later went back to school to obtain an LL.M in Intellectual Property and Information Law. While she is grateful for the knowledge that her legal education has provided, she has decided to transition from legal practice and focus more on advocacy beyond the just the legal arena.
Overcoming Challenges/Faith:
She has lived through several major difficult life situations, including 2 miscarriages and 2 stillbirths, fibroid surgery and being told she would no longer be able to conceive and now she now has two healthy pre-teen sons. She has also been through a failed marriage, been a single mother and experienced foreclosure (to name a few). Through God’s grace and mercy He has turned her mourning into dancing and has turned her sorrow into joy. She is now a happy wife and mother, and she uses those life lessons to encourage and equip others to give up the stagnant, mediocre, suppressed life and to lead vibrant “truly alive” lives.
She has strong faith in God, which has enabled her to keep her smile in the midst of trials, and to help others to move beyond their setbacks and towards making their comeback. One of her favorite quotes (from her song “Flip the Page”) is “No matter what it looks like right now, YOUR STORY IS NOT OVER. Flip the Page.”
What Emem does in her spare time:
Emem loves music, reading and spending time with family and friends. She also enjoys attending purposeful events and volunteering.
What’s next for Emem Washington?
In 2019 Emem Washington hopes to impact another 50,000 people through Social Media and continue to use her voice to impact lives. She also plans to continue to support various causes that are dear to her heart such as the Amos House of Faith as well as missionaries (through her church). She will also organize more of her “Leading Ladies” events especially as many women have raved about her events, calling describing them as excellent, inspiring and powerful.

Robert Brus Robert Brus: I’ve been lucky in my life to experience many different professions. It all started in the Australian Defence Force when I was just 17-years old. I joined the Royal Australian Navy as a Combat Systems Operator and was responsible for the operation of the warships radars, sonar and electronic warfare sensors. It was a great job where I travelled the world with my mates and loved every second of it. But I longed for more and soon after my time was up I found myself in the Australian Army progressing through my basic infantry training and onto my Battalion 3RAR and the Parachute School. Beyond the ADF I have experienced many different jobs and ultimately I have found my feet outside the military as a digital marketer and entrepreneur. Life for me is super busy with 3 beautiful children (2 teenage boys and an 11 year old girl) a woman I love dearly and several businesses but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I created the “GO ALL IN” podcast to share the stories of all the amazing people I know and hopefully in the process add some value back to the world with these lessons learnt and the heartache and triumph that they have created. I am truly blessed with these 3 wonderful children. They are by far my greatest achievement. They are a crazy bunch and get on surprisingly well and I’m endlessly grateful for the love and the close bond that we all share. They are my inspiration, and my why, and there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t recognise that they are watching my every move. I try my very best to be a sensible guide and a good example of giving back to the community and adding value back to the world. It’s never lost on me the incredible people that I get to speak to on a daily basis as a broadcaster. Every person has a GO ALL IN story of some description whether its a politician, a prime minister or an every day regular business owner or individual. The one thing that all of these people share in common is that at some point they all struggled to make it work but with persistence, commitment and an unwavering desire to succeed they came through successful. I often feel very honoured to bring these amazing stories of triumph to my audience and in some ways it has become an obligation to share their important lessons, and that right there, is why this is my passion and why I love to do this day after day. http://www.goallin.com.au/ Listen to another #12minconvo

Lisa Duerre Lisa Duerre is the CEO and Founder of RLD Group. Over the past 23 years, Lisa has helped over 25,000 employees not only do their work well but also boost their engagement on the job and more fully enjoy their home-life. When you feel stuck, out of touch with your desires, it can feel as if you are sleepwalking through life. The overachieving leaders in your audience build their self-value around getting things done, but often take on too much and don’t know how to draw healthy boundaries at work or home.
As a reformed overachieving and burnt out technology executive, Lisa Duerre understands what it’s like to feel stuck. But she pulled herself back from burnout and found the clarity and energy to blaze a new trail.
As a speaker and coach, Lisa wants to help career-oriented parents achieve this same success. She teaches them to focus on how they want to feel and use that feeling as a guide for their decision-making. She also shows them how to play to their inner strengths and create an actionable and fluid plan for achieving their goals
She is on a mission to help leaders be present for the moments that matter at work and in their lives!
Lisa got engaged in the front row Phil Collins Concert and recently got her nose pierced (and no one noticed). :-)

Briana Bragg Brianna Bragg: Author, speaker, social media expert, mindfulness coach, and meditation industry leader—as a successful, energetic, and highly driven visionary and entrepreneur, Briana Bragg loves life and lives it on-the-go!
Briana founded Business Bragger, a digital marketing company specializing in social media, while she was still in school finishing her marketing degree at Florida Atlantic University. Her digital savvy quickly attracted clients, from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies, and within three years, she was managing over 100 accounts. Like many high-achievers, though, Briana’s habits did not always support her
lifestyle. In 2013, the frenetic pace of working without rest started to take a real toll; stressed, anxious, and facing total burn-out, she started searching for holistic ways to unplug and refocus. She began practicing meditation regularly, and the powerful positive results transformed her life.
Overcoming her own depression and burnout wasn’t enough. Looking around, Briana saw other fantastic entrepreneurs and business professionals who are overwhelmed and burning out, unable to feel better about themselves and the world around them. She wanted to help them accomplish a more balanced lifestyle as she had. She devoted herself to developing the proper techniques, tools, and training to empower individuals to utilize meditation to achieve greater success in all areas of their lives.
With a mission to touch one million lives or more for positive change, Briana has expanded her reach beyond individual instruction—from guiding group meditations at live events to teaching her meditative techniques to teams, from bringing meditation into the corporate wellness space to teaching others how to teach others. Working with her team of trained, talented, and dedicated instructors, she’s exponentially increased her impact and her ability to change lives with the powerful Vacation of the Mind programs.

If you’re interested in booking Briana for individual meditative coaching or corporate team meditation, attending one of her events, or pursuing certification, contact her today at Briana@Vacationofthemind.com. You can also visit www.VacationoftheMind.comfor more information and resources.

Cameron Martinez Cameron Martinez: Hey, I'm Cam! I come from the beautiful land of Denver, Colorado. I love anything that has to do with adrenaline and fitness.
I have 3 years of college education and 0 years of work experience as I jumped straight into the world of entrepreneurship.
After a year of building a solid network and brand in Denver, my marketing agency had a bad case of scaling too quickly and soon came crashing down.
This caused me to rethink my decision to leave college and even led me to consider a career as a Divemaster (soon after, I blew out my ear drum on a dive and quickly ended that dream).
Fast forward to today, I am now assisting in the growth of a membership association called LVRG that gives our community of 2,800+ entrepreneurs access to tools (like Kajabi & ActiveCampaign to name a few) at a lower price than as advertised due to our group purchasing capabilities. They are literally saving thousands of dollars every month.
We did this without a funnel, automation, or advertising in place. We had no client acquisition, growth, or customer support strategies in place at the time.
Since March 2018, we have saved our community of entrepreneurs over $4million annually and fed over 150,000 people around the world.
We take a percentage of those savings to help give back to the causes that we believe in across the globe. We believe that the more entrepreneurs we serve, the more we are able to give back to those in need.

Dr.Haidar Al Hakim Dr.Haidar Al Hakim: I’m an author, international speaker, ophthalmic surgeon and burnout/mindset coach — helping doctors and success-driven entrepreneurs stay focused, stable, fulfilled, and in touch with their purpose. Whatever that purpose may be. In short: Helping people just like you to avoid professional burnout and personal despair.
Dr. Haidar Al-hakim aka ‘Dr. Bond’ was born in 1975 in Baghdad to a Marine Biologist father and a loving mother, both from Iraq. Leaving Iraq for the UK in 1979, to enable his father to continue his academic studies in Nottingham, he found himself growing up in the UK and relocated to North London in the mid-1980s.
Dr. Bond is here to share, teach and enrich all areas of your life by encouraging you to open your mind to one simple thought – its all a matter of perspective! Throughout history, the concept of the Third Eye has been used to represent many elements of mysticism, religion, and self-fulfillment. In my case, it most definitely leans toward the latter.
To me, the Third Eye represents personal insight. It’s the lens through which we can see clearly into ourselves. The Third Eye is our intuition – the part of us that interprets and signals the world around us, and which we should trust far more often than we actually do.
That’s why I use it as a metaphorical moniker: In the physical realm, I mend physical eyes. In the psychological realm, I help mend your internal one – so you can benefit from the life-changing power that clear, uncompromising insight into your own mental makeup will bring.
When your Third Eye is open, you can see what drives you, what upsets you, what excites you, and what matters most to you. More importantly, you can see exactly how these things affect your behaviour and your outcomes, and predict and control how you act in order to generate the best possible result.
It’s with an open Third Eye that you gain clarity – a life on your own terms, instead of a soul-destroying struggle through endless fog.
That is why I created the Spirited Breakthrough experience – a six-week intensive programme designed to break you out of the destructive cycles of stress and burnout.
Because life is always so much more than we let ourselves see.

Sandi Lesueur Sandi Lesueur’s leadership story begins with one of Canada’s most established and recognized cosmetic brands, MAC. With only three stores active when she joined the team, her role was broad and multi-faceted, ranging from high-level executive decision making to hands-on distribution. During her 12 years at MAC, she contributed to its growth from a Vancouver-based cosmetic store to one of North America’s most trusted brands with 88 storefronts on the continent. That journey has fostered Ms. Lesueur’s robust network of award-winning physicians, chemists, manufacturers and distributors, and given her a business development skill set tailored for cosmetic brands striving for market share. In 2005, she applied that knowledge to lead Riversol Skin Care Solutions Inc., starting in business development and consultancy role and eventually presiding as Chief Executive Officer. Under her vision and leadership, she collaborated with dermatologists to develop the Riversol MD brand into a trusted and effective cosmetic and beauty brand in Canada. In 2012 and 2013, she acted as Director of International Business Development for OOH Lifestyle, a cosmetics brand associated with Oprah Winfrey’s makeup artist, Derrick Rutledge. Her business development role at OOH blossomed into a consultancy business, and after departing Riversol in 2015, she crafted her own dynamic role at Clarion Medical Technologies as Medical & Aesthetics Consultant starting in 2016. Her first two years with Clarion resulted in Outstanding Achievement Awards for Sales in 2016 and 2017. This is a testament to her drive to sell product and shows her ability to connect with medical professionals and ensure products live up to their hype and deliver solid, clinically reliable results.

Matt Westin- Matt Westin was born and raised in a blue collar family in a middle class suburb of Pittsburgh, PA. From a young age, he pursued various passions, including academics, sports, acting, and music. After years of searching, Matt found true fulfillment in the creative outlets of acting and singing, dedicating himself to his artistic pursuits, and walking away from a promising career in engineering. With the influences of many legendary artists, ranging from Johnny Cash to Garth Brooks, “all the way” to Frank Sinatra, Matt found his voice. The thrill of live performance fed his desires, as he honed his vocal ability in bars and clubs around Pittsburgh for over a decade. His obvious drive and talent quickly won over his family's initial disapproval of his walking away from an engineering career, and they became his biggest supporters. Tragically, after a bravely fought battle with Leukemia, Matt's father succumbed to complications of chemotherapy, in April 2016. As a true family man, Matt was utterly devastated and struggled day to day with the reality of his father's death. After months of depression, instead of self-destructing, Matt decided to honor his father's memory, by finally pursuing his music career, as his father had encouraged.
Deciding to make a country record in his father's honor, and being introduced by a mutual friend, to world-class musician/songwriter/producer Bryan Cole, the stage was set. Bryan took on the project as producer, believing in his talent and vision, and guiding Matt in making a first-class country record. Bryan recruited long-time friend and mix engineer, Doug Kasper to record and mix the record at nearby Tonic Recording Studios. With radio-ready songs, legendary musicians Mike Brignardello (Big & Rich, Blake Shelton, bass) and Steve Hinson (Dolly Parton, Luke Bryan, steel guitar), and an amazing up- and-coming musician, Adam Ernst, Matt dedicated an entire year to making the record he and his father would be proud of.
First single, “Our Redneck of the Woods” reached the IndieWorld Country chart and the European Country Music Association charts. Matt was also on the Top 200 International Country Artists chart. His second single, “Farm Town” is still climbing several airplay charts. Matt is the 2018 International Music and Entertainment Association Male Country Artist of the Year. He recently appeared in the October 10, 2018 issue of Billboard Magazine.
New single, “You Leave Me No Choice” is out now.

Mark Stephen Pooler Mark Stephen Pooler has a remarkable story. He has survived the type of hardship most of us only see in movies, from being bullied from a young age, combatting severe drug addiction and even cheating death. Now he works tirelessly to help others overcome adversity and bring out the brilliance that shines in each and every one of us.
By the age of 15 the bullying had taken it’s toll. Mark’s confidence had hit rock bottom. He had undergone several cosmetic procedures to try and improve his appearance and was struggling to come to terms with his sexuality. He left school with bad grades and the downward spiral into drug addiction began to take hold.
On leaving school, Mark Stephen Pooler trained as a hairdresser and started working for big name brands in leading hair salons. By the time he reached his late teens/early twenties he his addiction was spiraling out of control – using crack cocaine and heroin so he didn’t have to live in reality of his life.
At 21 Mark was at his lowest point. He was rushed into hospital as his heart had stopped. Against the odds he made it back and realised that things had to change. He vowed (and succeeded) to give up hard drugs, although he continued to use soft drugs for the next six years. At age 27 he was finally able to kick the soft drugs too.
Following Mark’s hospitalisation and rehabilitation from drug use, he continued with his hairdressing career. However he embarked on a huge journey of personal development. Thus started a freelance career in hairdressing in 2013.
Though he went on to build a successful hairdressing business and built a business in network marketing it seemed that misfortune continued to plague Mark. He faced relationship break downs, struggled with debt and found himself having to make more and more dramatic changes and ended up having to sell his home to start turning his business around.
Once Mark Stephen Pooler had got his business back on track and operating successfully he still felt something was missing. Suffering loss of jobs in his career, relationship breakdowns in business and personal life and having many dramatic life changes he knew a new direction was needed. He realised he was not following his true passion in 2017 made a big change in direction deciding to follow his true passion of helping and inspiring others.
With a vast amount of knowledge, business skills and life experience to draw on, Mark embarked on a mission: To help professionals to create brilliance out of adversity.

Rosenna Bakari- Dr.Rosenna Bakari is an author, speaker and transformational poet focused on raising awareness of the hidden pain. She earned her Bachelor’s degree from Cornell University in Psychology to begin her career in counseling, and a Ph.D. at U. Northern Colorado to transition from counseling to teaching. She taught psychology at community college, private and state universities before founding Talking Trees, an empowerment organization for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. She founded the organization in 2010 when she began living openly as a survivor. Earning a Ph.D., having a long-term marriage and building a good career served as distractions while living in silence for over 30 years while hiding thoughts of suicide and accumulating health issues. When the systems on which she relied, ultimately, failed she found her way through the darkness using unconventional sources such as poetry and martial arts.
Her organization has over 5500 international members and holds a national conference every April 15 to celebrate the resilience of survivors. She weaved through bitterness and anger in a world that felt hell-bent on breaking the spirit and believes others can too, because trauma should not have the final word.

Covering Black Hat 2016 with ITSPmagazine co-founders Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli was the impetus that led to the birth of Diverse IT, and in the last year she has helped grow this column and podcast into a safe and fun platform where her conversational interviews and articles give a voice to the thoughts, ongoing efforts and victories of all her guests.

Donna Still- My name is Donna and I work with emotions and feelings that have been stuck in the body causing pain and disease. I use a Breathwork practice combined with body and energy work to release trapped emotions. Our bodies have an innate intelligence and inherently know how to heal itself, if we know how to let it.
I work with people who want to change their current situation. They are sick of the suffering, whether that is in their work or their personal life. They just can’t take the pain anymore and are prepared to do whatever it takes.
Ever since I began my first service based business in 1996 I became interested in personal development. Initially, as a tool to enable me to be a more effective communicator, I was a painter & decorator and worked with many couples who just couldn’t agree, and with groups of stakeholders who all had different agendas. To get on with the decorating work I needed to find a way to get them all to work together and agree on a scheme!
Between 1996 and 2007 I trained in personal performance and business coaching, In Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) up to NLP trainer and had a very successful decorating business until the financial crisis after which I began focusing 100 percent of my time coaching small business owners and writing personal development books. Ditch The Scales, The Art Of Effective Communication In A Digital World, 101 Quotes To Think & Grow Rich and The Divine Nature Of Being.
I was well and truly bitten by the personal development bug and continued my own development in many, ‘alternative,’ and ‘mainstream,’ modalities. I have participated as both a student and trained as a facilitator in many that I found personally really useful.
More recently I have been exploring the depths of my own psyche assisted by entheogenic plants and Breathwork through which I have accessed some of the most profound experiences of my entire life to date. These experiences have been so profound that I have decided to focus my work totally on facilitating clients through the Energy Release & Breathwork process.
My reasons for this change in business direction was due to the discovery of how I and others had stored seemingly mundane life experiences as trauma in my body. This trapped energy was acting like a brake and learning to let go of it has been a long slow process of evolution and awakening, Breathwork speeds up this process, enabling the release and integration of tricky emotions, without the need to re-traumatize oneself by verbally recounting the original wounding event.

Natasha Nurse- Natasha Nurse: Once upon a time, there was young Jamaican American girl from Manhattan who travelled all the way to University Park, Pennsylvania to meet the love of her life (a native Hollis, Queens resident). Where does the story go from here? Currently, the book is still being written. For the thirteen plus years shared together they have each accomplished quite a bit for a couple in their thirties.
A licensed attorney by trade, Natasha held various stints in the corporate world prior to making a foray into fashion and writing. Having been a victim of bullying as a child growing up, Natasha learned to seek out fashion as a source of strength early on and actively uses it as a personal means of empowerment; because of her own experiences with bullying and her strong desire to help others within the plus size community, Natasha started Dressing Room 8 to provide a web-based resource where women can gain personal and professional empowerment through her fashion and lifestyle focused blog, consultation and coaching services. Dressing Room 8 helps women how to think with clarity, dress with confidence, and live with purpose.
Kahlil Nurse is an Electrical Engineer who wears many different hats (just like his wife). He is the Tech Guru for too many people to mention (which his friends and family can totally attest to). He has been the technical support for Dressing Room 8 and Sistas On Fire. As a fan of cars, technology and finance, he embraces opportunities to learn, grow, and enjoy his hobbies to the fullest.
This year, they decided to share their marriage and thoughts to media with their exciting new podcast WokeNFree where they talk about relationships, education, religion, politics, music, history, fashion, diversity in the media, entertainment, empowerment matters, life hacks, technology, cultural disparities in the world, and everything in between.

Tim Rutherford- Tim Rutherford: In 2006, we met in colorful Colorado. Back then, we were mindless spenders. We tracked every penny we spent and weren’t concerned about the big dollars that were flowing out of our bank account. We thought our spending level was okay because we weren’t in debt (other than our mortgage) and were maxing out our 401ks while adding to our savings and investment accounts at a steady pace. Even so, we spent an average of $115,000 per year for many years. This number doesn’t include income taxes, savings or payments to our mortgage principal. JUST SPENDING! When we started to look into our retirement, we assumed we would spend $120,000 a year.
We had an epiphany in 2014. Spending less meant we didn’t have to work as long. Cutting back made us happier and kept moving up our planned retirement date. By living with less, we were able to say goodbye to our careers in 2015.
From the beginning of our relationship, we treasured experiences over things. As we continue to downsize, our new life is filled with fun, frugal (or free!), fulfilling activities and we’ve never been happier. We spend less time acquiring, maintaining, upgrading, insuring and thinking about our stuff. While it may be cliché, less truly is more. In 2016, we spent $43,000. That year, we took 3 international vacations and traveled (by plane) around the US several times. Tim had back surgery that year which meant a $6,000 deductible. So, $43,000 isn’t lean or mean. There’s fat in there, too. We continue to seek and find ways to further reduce our spending.
We are re-engineering our new lives with purpose. Our path includes more travel and embracing a healthier lifestyle. These days, we are active volunteers, house sitters and travelers.
We blog at www.GoWithLess.com. We write about how we retired in our forties and how we plan to stay there.

Liberty Forrest is an award-winning author and Huffington Post contributor who has written several books. Previously, she specialised in non-fiction inspirational self-help books but now focuses on paranormal thriller sagas.
Drawing on her own turbulent life and healing journey, she combines her life experiences with her passion for writing, whether in the non-fiction inspirational self-help genre, or in her gripping, compelling novels that readers say they can't put down.

In childhood, Liberty discovered her abilities as a psychic and medium, which continued to develop over the years, leading her to do readings professionally. Eventually, she took to the stage, where she connected audience members with loved ones in spirit.
As a practicing witch, she has also been hired on numerous occasions to remove negative energies and evil entities from homes where they were most unwelcome.
For five years, she appeared approximately monthly on Sue Marchant's evening show on BBC Radio doing psychic phone-ins for listeners. To Liberty, this natural gift is just one more way that she has been able to offer comfort, hope and healing to those who are struggling.

Oscar Junker- Oscar Junker: The "Curling" generation, or generation z gets huge, very negative attention, but really it's the generation ever who wants to change the world. This podcast for curling the kids with big dreams and everyone who will be motivated by them.
The podcast is run by me, Oscar Junker, who uses my time at CluedIn daily and studying Computer Science at Copenhagen University. The podcast has started because of frustration with the traditional understanding and underestimation of my own generation, the "Curling Generation". The podcast is produced 100% independently, I do not take any money and do not see myself as "Influencer".
Special thanks to my colleagues at CluedIn, Marcus Teller and Sophia Rose Lincoln.

Coss Marte- In 2009, Coss Marte was sent to jail as the ringleader of a multi-million dollar cocaine operation. He was also grossly overweight and warned by his physician that his current lifestyle, if left unchecked, would likely kill him.
Faced with this grim prognosis, Coss started to get in shape using the tools he had -- his prison cell and his own body weight. Within six months he lost 70 pounds and replicated his successful formula of body weight exercises with 20 other inmates. Then he launched ConBody a prison style bootcamp that has gained over 10,000+ clients and hires formerly incarcerated individuals to teach fitness classes. Since the launch of his company he’s been featured in over 200 major media outlets such as NBC, CNN, The New York Times, TED Talks, and Men’s Fitness. He’s also won major pitch competitions such as Pitch for Good by TOM’s shoes and the YPO shark tank competition, which combined raised $200,000.
