Welcome to Finding Certainty. Today, as part of our journey through the alphabet of principles that lead to greater certainty in our lives and businesses, I’ve decided on “K is for Kindness.” Often overlooked in business, kindness is a powerful tool that can help build trust, loyalty, and stability—essential pillars of certainty. Leading with kindness may seem unconventional, but it forges relationships that last, creating environments where people feel valued and motivated to give their best.In this episode, we’ll explore how kindness functions as “compassion in action.” We’ll share examples like Patagonia and Southwest Airlines, where kindness has led to stronger customer loyalty, company stability, and growth. These companies understand that treating people well—whether employees or customers—builds a sense of certainty that fuels long-term success.Kindness in leadership also creates a culture of trust, where innovation and collaboration thrive. Leaders like Tony Hsieh of Zappos built a legacy on this foundation, creating brands known for exceptional customer care and employee loyalty. Kindness fosters creativity, and when people feel valued, they’re more willing to invest their time and ideas.We’ll also touch on the importance of everyday acts of kindness. It’s not just grand gestures that matter but the consistent, small actions that build trust and reinforce our own sense of purpose. Kindness aligns us with our values, fostering certainty not only in others but within ourselves.In closing, kindness is far more than a feel-good concept—it’s a strategic approach that invites kismet, aligning us with opportunities we might not foresee. When we lead with kindness, we set a foundation of certainty that supports both our personal growth and professional success.To learn more about yours truly (Patrick Laing), our consulting firm, Certainty Management, or our JV technology firm, Certainty Global, visit certaintyteam.com or call (888) 684-3122.

Every month in 2024, as you know if you've been following our show, I take a break from having guests on Finding Certainty to share my personal thoughts on a specific topic. We’re making our way through 26 principles, one for each letter of the alphabet, and this month we’re at “J.” I've decided to discuss the topic of Joy … something I think most of us would love to experience more of. Joy, in many respects, an outgrowth of Certainty and of the previous topics we’ve been discussing. It’s also a catalyst for them too, though. Which comes first, right? The chicken or the egg or, in this case, Certainty or Joy? Joy is an experienced and a characteristic that can be elusive if you’re not careful, but so much of it depends on us and our minds. What we think of it, how we define it, and how we FIND it are all fair game during today’s Certainty discussion.In today’s monologue, I’ll share why joy is so crucial, explore how it touches every area of our lives (or, can, if we’ll let it), and offer a few personal stories and lessons as usual that I’ve learned along the way. I’ve experienced some great examples in my life and learned, the hard way at times, how to protect and fortify the joy in my life. During the show, we'll talk about the secrets to finding more joy–how to find it, develop it, maintain it, and retain it. Like all of these topics, joy is something I’m working on daily, striving to improve and grow.If you'd like to learn more about me (Patrick Laing), our show, Finding Certainty, or our consulting firm, Certainty Management, or our global technology firm, Certainty Global, visit us at www.certaintyteam.com or call (888) 684-3122.

Join us as we delve into David's journey of building a company that specializes in helping students navigate the complex world of financial aid, scholarships, and student loan optimization. Discover how SOS is making a significant impact by empowering students to graduate with less debt and more financial freedom.In the USA, as of 2024, 43.5 million people carry student loan debt, with an average of over $45,000.00 owed per borrower. David Kazarian and his team at SOS are on a mission to help as many of these individuals as possible take advantage of federal programs available to them that can help reduce their financial burden. Their goal is to free up money that borrowers can then use to lower their total debt, increase their savings, and boost their investments.During the conversation, Patrick and David also explore the specific eligibility requirements for SOS's services, which include: Total student loan debt must be $20,000.00 or higher. Students must be out of school (unless the loan is a Parent's Plus Loan). Loans must be federal loans, not from private lenders. The borrower must currently have a payment plan.If you're passionate about debt-freedom, financial literacy, or simply looking to learn from a leader who's actively making a difference, this episode is not to be missed.

In this inspiring episode of Finding Certainty, syndicated host Patrick Laing sits down with Brady Murray, Founder of RODS Heroes and CaringTide, to discuss the profound impact of adoption and the beauty of raising children with Down Syndrome and other disabilities. Brady shares his personal journey as a father of 11, including two children with Down Syndrome, and seven total adopted children. Together, Patrick and Brady explore the challenges and triumphs of parenthood, nonprofit work, and how disabilities—often inaccurately seen as weaknesses—can not only be transformed into strengths but can actually be advantages and inspiration in and of themselves (the lessons they teach can most definitely be).Through their conversation, Patrick and Brady offer a heartfelt message to families, urging them to open their hearts to the joy and capabilities of individuals with Down Syndrome and other mental and physical challenges. Brady emphasizes the belief that no professional success can compare to the fulfillment found in a strong, diverse, and dynamic family, and he shares his mission to change perceptions, proving that disabilities can be a powerful source of strength and inspiration both.To learn more about Brady Murray and RODS Heros, go to https://www.rods.org.

Every month in 2024, as you know if you've been following our show, I take a break from having a guest on with me to share my personal thoughts on a specific Finding Certainty topic. We’re making our way through 26 principles, one for each letter of the alphabet, and this month we’re at “I. I've decided to discuss the topic of Integrity. It’s fitting because integrity in many respects ties all of the previous topics together, like the threads in a quilt, much like the neat Quilt of Valor veteran recognition ceremony I was honored to attend and take part in this past week. Integrity is the integral to every characteristic we've discussed this past year, and I truly believe that without it, none of the others—like Accountability, Balance, or Humility—can stand on their own.In today’s monologue, I’ll share why integrity is so crucial, explore how it touches every area of our lives, and offer some personal stories and lessons I’ve learned as well as several examples from around the world about the topic. We'll talk about staying true to one’s values, even when it’s difficult, and staying consistent and rooted most of all. Like all of these topics, integrity is something I’m working on daily, striving to find it more and more in my own life and business as well. I hope you'll join me in this process. It can make every experience your meaningful, impactful, and rich.For more information on our show, Finding Certainty, our veteran-owned consulting firm, Certainty Management, or our global JV firm, Certainty Global, please visit www.certaintyteam.com or call us at (888) 684-3122.

Every month (on the first Friday of the month), as you may already know, I do a monologue instead of having an interviewee here on Finding Certainty. No dialogue or call-ins. Just yours truly sharing my thoughts and experience on a specific topic (I’ve planned out 26, one for each letter of the alphabet. It's going to take me a couple of years to get through them all). This week, with August being the 8th month of the year, we’re at “H” is for Humility. It seems a little funny, talking about Humility like I’m an expert or something. I’m not, but I do have a few thoughts I’d like to share. In fact, each of the topics I’ve addressed this year have been areas I’m personally working on and trying to improve at myself. Just like last month's topic (Giving), Humility is a subject I think often about and continue to work at daily. Sometimes it’s easy and sometimes it’s not. I have some strong opinions on each of these topics, have learned some powerful (sometimes painful) lessons regarding them, and they’re each something I’m learning a lot about and trying to master in my life. I believe Humility is one of the most fundamental principles and characteristics we’ve all got to master if we want to be truly successful in life, not to mention “find” and develop CERTAINTY in our lives. There are a lot of ways that we can learn humility and, in my experience, when we need it, the Lord is happy to provide reminders. Humility is core to any successful relationship, lasting impact, or legacy we hope to leave for our kids, our team, our clients, and more.

Every month (on the first Friday of the month), as you may already know, I do a monologue instead of having an interviewee here on Finding Certainty. No dialogue or call-ins. Just yours truly sharing my thoughts and experience on a specific topic (I’ve already planned out 26, one for each letter of the alphabet. It's going to take me a couple of years to get through them all). This week, with July being the 7th month of the year, we’re at “G” is for Giving. Just like last month's topic (Faith), Giving is a subject I think often about and continue to work at daily. Sometimes it’s easy and other times it’s not. I have some very strong opinions concerning the topic, have learned some powerful lessons surrounding it, and it’s still something I’m learning about and trying to improve at. I believe it’s one of the most fundamental principles to “finding” and developing more CERTAINTY in our lives that exists. There are a lot of ways that we can Give vs. Receive. Most fill us up, expand our visions, bring us more joy, satisfaction, and success. It’s an eternal principle, one proven many times over. If you’re ever struggling … with your health, your emotions, going through an illness, a challenge, a betrayal, or a loss, it’s easy to focus inward and feel forlorn and forgotten. It’s natural. We all feel that way. I’ve learned from long experience, though, that the best way to feel better is to look outward vs. inward, to get out and go serve others … to “lose myself in that service” as Jesus liked to say. It’s hard to describe but it invariably makes ME feel better, even though I’m not the one “receiving” the service. It’s a mystery but it absolutely works. I’ve seen too many examples of this to deny it in my life. If we can remember this, it can change our lives, our relationships, our very nation and the world as a whole. I hope we can get there.

Every month (on the first Friday of the month), as previously mentioned, I’ve decided to do a monologue instead of having a guest here on Finding Certainty. No dialogue or call-ins. Just yours truly sharing my thoughts and experience on a specific topic (I’ve already planned out 26 topics, one for each letter of the alphabet. It's going to take me a couple of years to get through them all). They’re alphabetical … so, this week, with April being the 4th month of the year, we’re at “D” and my topic for the week is Discipline. Just like last month's topic (Composure), Discipline is a subject I think about often and work away at constantly. I have some strong opinions concerning it and I’ve learned some valuable lessons about the topic throughout my life. (I’m STILL learning. After all, we’re all a work in progress and, yes, it takes discipline to truly make progress in our professions and lives). What is discipline? What does it mean? How do you define it and why does it matter? All good questions addressed and dissected in this episode. It's definitely a goal of mine and, I think it’s safe to say, of anyone who wants to be successful at whatever their pursuit or pursuits in life might be. Whether you’re an athlete, a musician, a comedian, or an entrepreneur … a student, a parent, a lover, or a friend: discipline and its close cousin, consistency, are two secrets to success. Today’s conversation (“with myself”), like so many of these monologues, is one-part analysis, one-part commentary, coupled with large doses of self-reflection mixed in. I believe this is an important topic that touches all of us in one way or another. All of these Insights from Patrick topics are in many respects. Discipline is a key characteristic and habit we all need to develop if we want to find, yes, create and develop more CERTAINTY in our lives. Join me today to learn from a few lessons from my life, a few good examples and some who could do better, and more. We'll look at mentors I’ve learned lessons from, a good book I recommend, and other insights I’ve gained. Together we can unpack this topic and try to figure out, and hopefully do it better and more in our lives. I pack a lot into this fourth monologue of 2024. I hope you enjoy it. If you’ll join me and listen in, I believe you’ll be glad you did. As always, I look forward to the conversation and our ongoing journey together. If you'd like to learn more about Finding Certainty, yours truly, our veteran owned consulting firm, Certainty Management, or our global technology firm, Certainty Global, please go to www.certaintyteam.com or call us at (888) 684-3122.

Thus, today’s conversation (“with myself”), like so many of these monologues, is one-part analysis, one-part commentary, coupled with large doses of self-reflection mixed in.

Earlier this year, on June 30th to be exact, my scheduled guest had last minute technical difficulties and was unable to log onto Zoom to join me for the show. Wth literally zero notice, or time to prepare, I ended up having to do a last minute one-person monologue, off the cuff (and from the heart). I spoke on how we can FIND, yes, even CREATE, more Certainty in our lives, even in the midst of today's looming UNcertainty ... (i.e., fears, rising costs, worries, and wars and rumors of war, as it were). I enjoyed the chance to speak from the heart a great deal. So much so, in fact, I thought I’d try it again and do another monologue this time around. If Rush Limbaugh could speak for two or three hours at a time without any guests (and not even a script it seemed) and do as masterful a job as he did, I know it can be done. I’m no Rush, but I do have a few thoughts I’d like to share and do feel they can benefit you in your own life and business as well. With Thanksgiving this last week and the Holiday season upon us, I thought I'd share seven (7) things for which I am grateful along with the 7 lessons they’ve taught me and the remarkable ways in which they’ve blessed my life (and can bless yours too). These 7 lessons are the part I think you’ll enjoy and benefit from most if you take the time to listen in. With 38+ years of experience in finance, sales, business, and leadership; as an entrepreneur at heart, a former athlete, an outdoorsman, and the owner of 3 different companies; as a husband, father of 5, speaker, 3 x author (our last 2 books on leadership are both international best sellers), and more, I can fill up 60 minutes pretty easily, I think, and I believe you’ll enjoy the insights if you’ll join me for the ride. Many refer to my show as a walk down memory lane. It's a pretty good description. Call this episode a “walk down my own.” I look forward to the journey together. If you'd like to learn more about Finding Certainty, yours truly, our veteran owned consulting firm, Certainty Management, or our global technology firm, Certainty Global, please go to www.certaintyteam.com, text the word Certainty to 26786, or call us at (888) 684-3122.

This week on Finding Certainty, host Patrick Laing engages in an enlightening conversation with Itamar Shafir, the Founder and CEO of Umbrella US. Joining the show from his home in Tel Aviv, Israel, Itamar discusses the immense power of partnerships in the digital marketing world. With Umbrella's support, marketers can now achieve their goals with greater ease and efficiency, transforming themselves into true digital marketing trusted advisors and elevating their businesses rapidly. The discussion delves into the vital aspects of teamwork, mentorship, leadership, and draws inspiration from Itamar's personal journey to success.
Umbrella functions as a marketing agency hub, akin to a REMAX for marketers, where aspiring entrepreneurs seeking to start or expand their advertising agencies or digital marketing services businesses can partner with a local provider under the name Umbrella Local. This collaboration enables members to leverage Umbrella's vast network and the strength of an established brand. A small fee paid by each member combines to fund substantial investments in promoting the Umbrella Local brand, making it the ideal solution for independent agencies looking to grow faster.
As Itamar aptly puts it, a strong brand thrives on trust, which directly translates into increased sales. Building trust, however, takes time and involves navigating through various challenges and learning from mistakes. With Umbrella as their ally, new digital marketing agencies and professionals gain access to a technology-driven platform that facilitates reselling white label digital marketing solutions provided by top-notch vendors worldwide.

Only 20% of people in the United States can currently get approved for a home loan yet Louis Brown with Certified Affordable Housing Provider explains how this percentage can change and is changing with the CAHP “Path to Home Ownership” program, the first education program/company of its kind that's blending a powerful entrepreneurial opportunity with helping meet the long-held goal so many Americans have of owning their own home someday. Patrick Laing, headliner host of the VoiceAmerica Business radio show, Finding Certainty, visits with the nationally renowned real estate expert as the two address the housing market's alarming conditions, especially for Post 9/11 Era veterans. The cost burdens for these veterans (and others) are significantly higher compared to previous generations, with a 35% average cost-burden, leading to wide-spread housing affordability struggles (this means that ~ 35% of their income is used on housing expenses, such as rent or mortgage payments, property taxes, utilities, and insurance). 21st Century veterans are far less likely than previous generations to own their homes, with less than 50% of Post 9/11 veterans benefiting from the VA loan program's broad access to zero-down mortgages with favorable rates. These trends are concerning, and younger veterans especially seem to face their own unique homeownership challenges today. While younger households are usually less likely to own a home in general, this trend persists and is even more exaggerated for Post 9/11 veterans, even when controlling for demographics. Louis Brown is working to empower these warriors and others like them in their pursuit of the American Dream of homeownership.

This week on Finding Certainty, headliner host, Patrick Laing, takes a somewhat different approach to the show’s theme and style by focusing on a new/emerging entrepreneur rather than a longer-established business owner or influencer. He discusses the thrills, worries, challenges, and hopes with a long-time Corporate American manager who is making the leap from employee-to-self-employed even as we speak. Robert Mesch has had a long and storied career as an imaging technology sales professional, manager, and trainer. With 30+ years in the industry he’s seen the best and the worst of the space while working for some of the largest providers in the world. He’s experienced an impressive level of success and received a great deal of recognition, but also dealt with the recurring lack of control and lack of CERTAINTY that come with working for others. He shares with Finding Certainty’s listeners why he decided it was time to make the transition to ownership and why he named his firm Integrity’s Path LLC. He also addresses why he’s made the American Southwest his home for years (and never plans to move). Together, Robert and Patrick, discuss Robert's career, his transition, and Certainty Management’s own print/copy cost-reduction service, not to mention, one of Robert’s key secrets to consistent, forecastable sales success. He also shares a few of the key points he recently learned at Tony Robbins's Unshakeable Challenge event, lessons and principles that seem ideally, even serendipitously, timed for his new venture.

In 2022 I had the privilege of being invited to a power lunch with billionaire small business coach, Bill Walsh, by my good friends, Simone and Rick Kvalheim, Alzheimer's reversal experts and owners of X-cellerated Health. Bill and I hit it off, I signed up to attend his upcoming Rainmaker Summit and became a member of his Powerteam International “tribe,” and we ended up spending several hours together the next day, analyzing our business and talking about how to take it to the next level. I attended Bill's Q4 2022 summit in Orlando, Florida with 3 of my team members ... right in the middle of Hurricane Ian (in October 2022). It was here that I met and became fast friends with his two wildly talented sons, Austin and Evan. Austin spoke at their event in Orlando (in October) and later in Vegas (this last December) and I was really impressed with his expertise and insights on online funnel work, digital marketing, and conversion, not to mention his skill as a speaker. He's a co-owner in PTI and the family's online text message/email marketing software company, MOBEX and he has built an impressive career as a world renowned marketing expert. Over the next few weeks, I’ll also be interviewing Evan, Austin’s brother, and a talented musician and BEATS producer, as well as Mr. Rainmaker himself, their father, Bill Walsh (Evan is scheduled for 2/3 here on Finding Certainty and Bill is scheduled for 3/3)—the Walsh Family Trifecta, as it were. It’s been a pleasure getting to know them, becoming friends, and learning from this First Family of International Small Business Success. Today’s episode focuses on Austin’s personal story, his own successful international speaking and consulting career, his expertise as an online marketer and conversion expert, and how it’s played a significant role in the global expansion of their family’s multi-million-dollar enterprise that’s changing small business both domestically and abroad.

This week on Finding Certainty, show host Patrick Laing visits with global fashion consultant, Charlotte Hart, on how she helps women all over the world to revamp their wardrobes and find more joy and satisfaction in their closets, working with them one-on-one or in groups to help define their styles, interests, needs, and more. “Think of [your closet] as a pantry in the kitchen,” she says. “When you have the basics – you can most often put a good meal together, even when you receive unexpected guests. Same goes for your closet. It’s not about having a closet full of clothes, and perhaps nothing to wear, but rather building one with staples you know flatter you and that you feel confident and comfortable in. Keep the 80/20 rule in mind,” she continues. “80% of the time you go in your closet, you will pick (the same) 20% of the pieces in there. So, let’s make those 20% the best they can be for you, and play with some fun additions when the mood strikes you. Being able to go into your closet and easily put an outfit together in 2 minutes, dressed to look good and feel great all day – that’s key in my book.” This episode offers a unique look at fashion, style, personal preference, and confidence in women (and all of us), woven into an engaging conversation on what it takes to build a successful business that endures (and even changes lives) for years. Charlotte has done exactly that and continues to do so. It makes for an engaging dialogue on business, certainty, living, and life.

We’re keeping things close to home this week on Finding Certainty as I interview one of my favorite financial planners right here in Henderson, Nevada, the community (a suburb of Las Vegas) that we are both blessed to call home. Call it my Special New Year’s Gift to you and those you care for … this short, engaging conversation with Cindy Birkland of Eternity Financial, AND Ministries, and the popular local Speakeasy Networking Events. Cindy does a lot and, is highly respected and loved, especially here in Vegas, and in our conversation, you’ll hear her draw back the curtain on wealth building and retirement planning as she shares her own story of having to start over financially following the 2008 collapse and the lessons she subsequently learned and now shares with her clients. There were (and are) far better ways to be prepared financially, she says. It’s an insightful conversation on important topics that hit close to home for many Americans. Among other things, we delve into a little-known investment strategy that is so simple yet powerful it’s hard to believe more people don’t do it (hint: it’s usually because they just don’t know it exists). We also discuss how Cindy and a large group of local business people chose to respond and not give up when the governor shut down Las Vegas during the COVID pandemic and the way it changed (and helped save) many of their operations. The list goes on. You’ll learn a great deal from my friend. Listen in and you’ll be glad that you did. To learn more, go to https://cindybirkland.com.

My guest today on Finding Certainty is a Senior Living Expert, Age Reversal Coach, and World-Renowned Public Speaker. She’s also a close friend of mine, together with her husband, Rick. It is my pleasure to have Simone Kvalheim on our show today to discuss her background and impressive work in the realm of Alzheimer’s Reversal and Healthy, Less Stressful Senior Transition. Alzheimer’s recovery is real and Simone can show you how to bless anyone you know is in need. She has first-hand experience, helping her own father transition from not knowing his grandchildren to a vibrant and empowered existence for the last several years of his life. As a champion in the fight for Personal Health, Self-Care, and Longevity, Simone is committed to adding “Years to Life and Life to Years”! She knows it’s possible and knows how to help. She believes that the body is a phenomenal piece of organic architecture comprised of sound and light waves, a beautiful bundle of frequencies and faculties tuned into the universe, and whatever the body manifests it can accomplish. A core principle of her work and outlook is that the body has the capacity to HEAL ITSELF, given the appropriate information and signals. Her commitment to Alzheimer’s Prevention and Recovery is dear to her heart and she believes that women are at the epicenter of the Alzheimer’s Crisis and of developing real, long-lasting solutions and cures. In her words, “It is time to stand up and be at the HEART of the solution.”In collaboration with her husband, Rick, Simone has developed an extraordinary movement entitled Alzheimer’s Recovery is Real. They stand for Prevention and Recovery based on Epigenetics and Lifestyle. They also are strong advocate against, as they call it, the “Sick Care Cabal-Big Pharma,” Monsanto, Allopathic Medication Contraindications, the Alzheimer’s Foundation, and the Media. None of the above have saved a single person from dying from Alzheimer’s, she says. Rather than an epidemic, Alzheimer’s should be a blip on the radar like Polio and there are solutions! To learn what those are, please listen in to today’s episode. All the way from Zimbabwe via Las Vegas, Nevada … Superstar, Simone Kvalheim.

Recently, I was invited to speak at a big CEO Summit at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. Hundreds of CEOs from across America and around the globe were in attendance, all gathered together to exchange ideas and develop relationships. The Dean of the LU School of Business, Dave Brat, did a masterful job of organizing, leading, and mc'ing the event. Newt Gingritch was a keynote speaker, as was the President of Ghana, Winsome Sears, Lt. Governor of Virginia, and others. We met some incredible leaders and made some powerful business connections as well as lifelong friends. If you haven't ever been to the Liberty University campus, I highly recommend you check it out. It's a beautiful, clean campus and the students we met were outstanding ... clean-cut, articulate, and happy they seemed. As the largest evangelical Christian college in the U.S., the whole experience was an impressive, even spiritual, event and I'm grateful my team and I were able to attend. One of the unique things, about this annual CEO Summit is that a large portion of the attendees come from Africa and/or are focused on increasing trade relations between Africa and the U.S. Among other things, the Summit is a remarkable collaboration between U.S. interests and African interests, a braintrust and bridge-building exchange that is inspiring to say the least. As part of this visit, my VoiceAmerica colleague, Frank Helring, host of BizZne$$ BuzZ, who attended with me, and I, met a gifted grouping of black American leaders who are bringing about change in Africa that will be felt for generations to come. Led by CEO and Founder of Ward Holdings, Lloyd Ward, the first African American CEO of a Fortune 500 company in the U.S., to say the group is impressive is an understatement indeed. You may not know this, but Africa is one of the largest continents on the planet and represents as much as 60% of global resources but, a shocking statistic we also learned was that it only accounts for TWO PERCENT of the world's GNP! Why is this? It's hard to believe but it's true, due largely to colonization, marginalization, mismanagement, corruption, and more. All that's about to change though. Mr. Ward shares his story today on Finding Certainty, of how he has been guided, prepared, and CALLED even, to spearhead this multi-trillion dollar development, about how he and his extremely talented team are well underway in opening the floodgates of Africa, and with them, new opportunities for prosperity and equity for the people of Africa and beyond. We talk about Ward Holdings' current pre-IPO and what it consists of, why it is paramount they make the movement (and company) public, and how he and his team's years of experience were, in fact, the missing piece for bringing it to pass. If you want to hear a truly inspiring story of business disruption, development, and even destiny, you don't want to miss this show.

A wholesale travel provider that is changing how people travel all over the world, Michael draws back the curtain on how airline employees and travel agents can afford to go on so many exotic vacations. Following a 20-year exclusive contract with U. S.-based legacy airline employees (from 1998 to 2018), Five Diamond Club has now made these exclusive benefits (and secrets) available to the general public worldwide.

Join the most affordable subscription travel option available today that is quickly reinventing travel and rapidly disrupting the industry as we know it.
If you’re a business owner or executive of a company, imagine how you can build both client and employee loyalty by offering such exclusive and desired benefits.

This week on Finding Certainty, host Patrick Laing visits with co-founder and president of LifeExec, Mr. Ken York, discussing small business health benefits as a strategy. One of the greatest needs for businesses and their teams these days is affordable health coverage. It's an enormous demand and is generally the # 1 benefit employees are seeking and, as such, one of the most important recruiting and retention tools a business can have. The problem is that many employees simply can't afford the options available to them, even when offered. Only 4% of employees nationally, we've been told, actually accept their employers' plans, if they have to pay for them. Millions of Americans are currently underinsured or totally uninsured, and it's not because they don't want coverage. Certainty Management, in partnership with LifeExec, has a solution to this nationwide epidemic. LifeExec's disruptive LifeExec Advantage programs provide true medical, dental, vision, mental health, and financial protection and savings for as little as $29.95 per plan per month for the entire family! Dozens of benefits are available at a price that anyone can afford, even a single mom, working part-time, on minimum wage, anywhere in the country. Imagine: unlimited telemedicine access with zero wait time and $0 co-pay or deductible; unlimited mental health counseling sessions with $0 co-pay or deductible; dental and vision savings; x-ray, alternative care, hearing aid, and other savings; prescription savings (up to 85% off); Urgent Care Center access (with just a $25 co-pay) and Primary Care Physician visits (in no more than 48 hours with just a $10 co-pay); the list goes on. We are, in short, reinventing medical, mental health, and financial health coverage as we know it. Listeners will be very intrigued to know how. Check out the line-up of benefits at www.certaintybenefits.com. Enroll today for just $30-80 per month at www.certaintysignup.com.

This week on Finding Certainty, headliner host Patrick Laing visits with Dr. Mary Lee, Founder and CEO of Neighborhood Commerce Institute, discussing, among other things, the iGames Faith-Based Funding League she owns, a powerful nonprofit fundraiser, working in partnership with The Funding League, EACL, Workforce Development, AmeriCorps / VISTA, HUD, the Department of Education, and more. Through Dr. Lee's iGames Faith-Based Funding League, organized and responsible community members and leaders are utilizing the multi-trillion dollar global eSports industry and the massive interest in video games and video game competition to raise funding for neighborhood grants and development in an innovative and inspiring way. In collaboration with Dr. Lee's own nonprofit, Dreams of our Dead Homies Coalition, they're also working together to help address the black neighborhood gun violence amongst young black males. The project includes an all-inclusive STEM/STEAM project designed to help change the trajectory of 3.6 million youth and their families in underserved communities nationwide. This is a wholistic case management approach to help address the family needs in totality and to bridge need and resources gaps beyond government assistance.

On today's episode of Finding Certainty, headliner host, Patrick Laing, visits with Martin Hess, President of the The American Club Association (a.k.a. ACA) about his personal journey as a professional tennis player and sports marketer initially and, later, the success he and his team have experienced, building one of the premier private business clubs in North America (with additional exclusive access to over 80 clubs in the U.S. and 62 international clubs in 16 different countries as of the time of this write-up). ACA Business Club is a private club dedicated to serving professionals, executives and business owners. They have a passion for helping their members succeed and reach their goals in both their personal and professional life, and believe in the power of relationships to accomplish these objectives. ACA's vision is to help you accomplish YOUR vision, whatever that is. Far more than simply joining an organization, membership in the ACA is a lifestyle. The ACA Business Club provides a warm venue to meet clients and colleagues, connect with fellow members, get some work done, or simply a place to relax between meetings. It’s a friendly environment to build relationships and celebrate life’s journey with fellow members committed to your success. Patrick and Martin chat about ACA and its story as well as the power of relationships, professional development, and marketing, and the inherent value in doing it together with colleagues versus trying to go at it alone. Learn more about ACA at https://www.acanetwork.org.
This week’s guests on Finding Certainty are a husband-and-wife team with a mission to help protect the constitutional rights and liberties of faith-based organizations all across America. Tamara and Todd Engwall, co-founders of Destiny 508, together with Finding Certainty host, Patrick Laing, discuss how Destiny 508's mission is making a difference for churches and related entities in significant ways. Most people are familiar with how 501c3 status enables nonprofits to offer tax deductible receipts to their donors but did you know there is a second legal way for churches and ministries that is actually a lot simpler AND BETTER in multiple ways? Christian nonprofit organizations love this discovery since they deal with multiple disadvantages of 501c3s for churches and ministries. Many leaders have seen that the 501c3 rules for churches actually reduce their ability to work powerfully in the mission that God has given them, they are ham stringed, hand-cuffed even, and regulated more than they have. The IRS tax code 508c1a helps return freedom and boldness back to the church. It was established become Congress realized that the 501c3 set-up was unconstitutional. At Destiny 508, Todd and Tamara help Christian ministries, churches, and other outreach organizations establish their church, mission, or ministry under Internal Revenue Code 26 - 508c1A, which keeps their books private, returns important freedoms, and eliminates Federal reporting requirements, and more. The list of benefits is lengthy. If you are ready to start a faith-based not-for-profit of your own, Todd & Tamara can walk you through the process. They also provide ongoing business, marketing, and technological support that can be the difference between failure and success. If you're a new, prospective, or established church who would like greater CERTAINTY and FREEDOM than you currently enjoy, this is an episode you don't want to miss. Join us.

On today’s episode of Finding Certainty, show host Patrick Laing had the honor of interviewing Gary Reeves, a meek yet truly accomplished icon in multiple arenas ranging from music to television and entertainment, to social impact, and more. Perhaps best known and respected for his extraordinary examples of service over the last 25+ years, Gary has often been credited with the sensitivity to bring non-traditional partnerships together. He has worked with a ‘Who’s Who’ list of high profile thought leaders and celebrities in building tech centers, playgrounds, medical clinics, and similar projects, and providing lifestyle-enhancing experiences for under-resourced youth. Although Reeves has achieved many successes in his social impact business initiatives, he takes the most pride in his works of service. Reeves was asked to be the spiritual adviser for The Golden State Warriors at the tender age of 19 years old, a role he fulfilled for the next 10 years. This service has been followed by a remarkable career in music, television, entertainment, and philanthropy. Gary advocates for a variety of social concerns including HIV/AIDS, foster youth, youth sports, homeless and women’s shelters, career pathways (STEAM/STEM), veterans, and education. Together, Patrick and Gary discuss the tremendous impact that love, kindness, and service/purpose can have on both our work and personal lives. With an impressive list of roles throughout his life, he speaks from experience and shares a number of unique insights on the topic, and on life in general. We are honored to have had him on Finding Certainty. Any questions or for more details, text the word Certainty 26786.

This week on Finding Certainty, host Patrick Laing meets with Ben O'Quigley of ercTree®, Inc. ercTree® is an exclusive access site, similar to LendingTree but for Employee Retention Tax Credit providers. ercTree® has vetted and verified a number of accounting firms specialized in tax credits and incentives in the U.S.A. ercTree®-approved firms have been providing tax credit filings for Fortune 500 companies, major manufacturers, and more, for decades. Tax Credits Filings is a specialized accounting area requiring more certification, expertise, and experience. Most local and general accountants do not file Tax Credits for businesses and many incorrectly disqualify businesses in the process, telling owners they do not qualify for ERC Refunds, when in fact they would.
ercTree® offers the easiest and most streamlined ERC process in the industry. We collect all of the proper documentation and submit to multiple specialized Tax Credits firms, obtaining multiple ERC refund quotes within 5 to 10 business days. Clients complete only (1) ERC application and submit documents to (1) secure documentation upload portal. ercTree® charges no upfront fees for the services performed. The ercTree® services are included in the ERC Fees to File that are charged by the approved accounting firms. ercTree® clients do not pay a penny for services until the ERC Refund Checks arrive from the US Treasury. No business should ever pay any type of upfront ERC application fee to receive ERC refund quotes. No business should be forced into signing a contract prior to committing to file their ERC Refunds, prohibiting the business from choosing to file with a different accounting firm with perhaps a better quote or lower fees should they desire. Anny ercTree® quotes will be provided by approved firms specializin in Tax Credits Filings.
There are three categories with many complicated, underling, qualifying guidelines to recover ERC payroll taxes paid in 2020 and 2021, including additional money due to the Covid19 Pandemic. The three (3) ERC Refund Qualifying Categories include: 1. Gross Receipts/Revenue Reductions, 2. Federal, State and Local Authorities Mandates, and 3. Vendor and Supply Chain Disruptions. A business only needs one qualifying guideline out of the three (3) categories to qualify for a ERC Refund. Our ercTree® approved firms accurately calculate, amend and file requests on our clients' behalf, including IRS Audit Defense Protection built in with each ERC filing. Employers with 500 or few employees can receive up to $26,000 per F/T W2 employee for qualifying quarters of 2020 and 2021. Start-ups after Feb. 15, 2020 do not have the same qualifying guidelines as businesses that have been operating prior to Feb. 15, 2020.
To apply, go to https://erctree.com/initial-survey/ to schedule a 10-minute pre-qualification consultation with an ercTree ERC expert. Please enter Finding Certainty into the form when scheduling the call.

Advertisers all over the world have one main goal and objective: return on investment. They spend billions each year trying to attract new and existing customers to their offerings.
