I started out in medicine as a registered nurse in 1985. I loved my fast-paced life in the critical care world, working with patients in the intensive care unit and really connecting with them and their families. I found I was good at helping those who were in crisis. However, I also found that people were slipping between the cracks with all of the various medical "specialties" and "specialists."
During this time, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), an “incurable autoimmune disease.” I felt trapped and betrayed by my own body. I then felt trapped by my medical system when I was presented with the standard immune-modulating and anti-inflammatory drugs as my only options. I was told that diet and stress levels had nothing to do with my disease.
I examined my body, mind, heart, and spirit for clues to my disease. In the process of my research and inquiry into the “WHY” of my disease, I discovered Ayurveda. Ayurvedic medicine is an ancient science that encompasses all of these aspects of health: body, mind, heart, spirit, and story.
Within one year of changing lifestyle habits from each of the four areas of my WHOLE being, I was free of autoimmunity. Tests could find was no sign of RA in my blood. According to Western medicine, this was impossible. I discovered I had only been trapped by my lifestyle choices and how they impacted my genetics.
Shortly thereafter, I discovered Functional Medicine and realized this was a model that took the precepts of Ayurveda and translated them into Western language for the modern person. Ever since, I have been using what I now call the Freedom Framework to find and fix the root causes of blocks in my patients’ physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energy—while listening to their stories.

In this episode, host Neil Howe talks with Badass Aussie Entrepreneur Pete Williams on how a business can double its profits with 7 simple 10% gains. This remarkably simple system needs to be analyzed by every business owner as it is so simple to implement and see real results in very little time.
Pete calls them the "7 Levers of Business" and they are:
Suspects Prospects Conversions Average Item Price Items Per Sale Transactions Per Customer Margins
Listen in as Pete goes through the whole system and see how these small changes across the board can make a massive difference to the bottom line.
Having been referred to as “Australia’s Richard Branson” in media publications, Pete first made a name for himself when, at age twenty-one, he sold Australia’s version of Yankee Stadium, the Melbourne Cricket Ground, for under $500—which you can read about in his first book, How to Turn Your Million-Dollar Idea Into a Reality (2007).
Pete Williams is an entrepreneur, advisor and marketer who Forbes recently called, “one entrepreneur today that every marketer should be modeling,” while Inc. describes him as, “a savvy marketing strategist.” He forthcoming book Cadence: A Story of Fast Business Growth (2018), is the parable of a business owner and triathlon coach named JJ who left his stable job as a teacher to fulfill his dream of becoming an entrepreneur. Unfortunately, two years after opening his bike shop, Cadence, JJ finds himself in a place that is all too familiar to most business owners—struggling to stay afloat. That all changes, fast, when an athlete he coaches, in turn, teaches him how to turn the store’s profitability around with seven key “10% Wins”. Pete’s companies include Infiniti Telecommunications, SimplyHeadsets.com.au, SpringCom Telecommunications, and Preneur Group - an advisory-consulting firm that guides business owners through the process of increasing profits, margins and other key indicators by using the 7 Levers approach to business growth.

While many think poverty reflects a lack of money, Demetrius Sandridge, author and speaker, knows firsthand that the term holds much more weight than what meets the natural eye. Affectionately known to many as “The Detroit Dog Whisperer”, Sandridge learned early in life that millionaire status had much more to do with mindset than money. It was only when he changed his mind set and associations that he saw his life transform right before his very eyes—and he’s on a mission to aid others in doing the same. Most people that live in poverty, believe that their situation is Final…that there’s no way out. They blame everything and everybody for their dilemma. But as stated before, POVERTY IS A MINDSET! It has nothing to do with race, or what city you live in… Join us for the conversation!
From the Host: Demetrius Sandridge is excited and focused on improving your opportunity and FEELINGS about your finances! At the young age of 20, Sandridge was afforded the opportunity to chauffeur for a multi-millionaire. Taking notes of his every move, walk and talk, he was inspired to reach for millionaire status after he’d watched his mother struggle to raise him and his three siblings. It was also at this time he realized that as he was earning $50,000 a year as his private chauffeur, while his mother—who’d worked for the millionaire many years as his housekeeper and nanny—made significantly less. Pulling his family out of poverty was no longer a wish, a preference or a nice gesture—it was a mandate. I’m giving a book away! Write to me at Swifttalk@sherryswift.com and let’s get a copy of his book in your hands!

Eavesdrop on this conversation and learn how to create your marketing message. In this episode, Tamara Patzer and Gail Dixon discuss how to formulate your million dollar marketing message.
Gail Dixon is the Word Wizard. She works with individuals and organizations with life-changing missions to create messages that Command Attention, Create Connection and Ignite Impact. Gail is a 3-time best-selling author (her own book - “Masterful Messaging - Volume 1: Compelling Copy”; and two compilation books: “Journey to the Stage, Volume 1” and “100 Voices of Inspiration, Awakening, and Empowerment.”) She also has a chapter in the upcoming book, “Big Mission, Big Message.” The second book in the Masterful Messaging Series, “Change Talk,” will be published in Spring 2018.
Alan Porter was a featured speaker at the annual thought leaders’ conference Business Expert Forum at the Harvard Faculty Club. These thought leaders include CEOs, dignitaries, professionals, best-selling authors, technical and medical experts from around the world.
After being a Blackhawk helicopter pilot and instructor for 21 years, his career path took a dramatic change when he became a financial advisor.
Porter has a passion for what he does because of what has happened to his family. At the age of 35, his son was diagnosed with a disabling disease and is now 100 percent disabled. Three years later, the wife of his son was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer, which took her life a year later. Shortly thereafter; his daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer.
“I was devastated,”he said. “You might think you are the healthiest person in the world, but you don’t know what is going to happen in the future.”
During this time he embarked on a financial education journey. “I was like 99 percent of the people who thought that insurance was a death product and you had to die to take advantage of the payout. Wow, was I mistaken,” explained Porter.
Porter teaches his clients how to protect themselves from catastrophic events and set them up with a tax-free retirement.
“I teach my clients about legal financial strategies that some might consider out of the box,” he said.
“I have crossed over into the terrain of the wealthy and powerful, and I guide clients on how to use legal obscure financial strategies. I broke the insider’s financial code and I’m out to share the secrets the wealthy and the financial institutions use to protect, retain and increase wealth. I want every one of my clients to become their personal bank to pay themselves instead of the banks.”
Porter then challenged the attendees at the Harvard Faculty Club to take charge of their financial future and to protect yourself, your family and to leave a legacy and make a difference in this world.
Alan Porter is the owner of Strategic Wealth Strategies located in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and a founding member of the American Tax Planning Institute. He is a non-traditional financial advisor. His mission is to defend his clients from the enemy: excessive taxes and wealth killing financial strategies. He has been featured on ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and CW.

Tim's experience is exceptionally broad – across sales, marketing, human resources, training, market access, and leadership development. He has enjoyed a number of senior level positions in the pharmaceutical industry – literally managing billions of dollars in portfolio and thousands of employees over the course of his career. He played an instrumental role in the growth of a small Midwestern firm into one of the largest healthcare companies in the world.
Along the way he’s been intimately involved in sourcing and developing talent and his mentorship of scores of individuals who have gone on to assume senior level roles with other companies has earned him industry wide accolades. He’s helped launched 20 new brands to the market and played key roles in 6 legitimate blockbusters. He is a multiple winner of Excellence in Leadership Awards and is regarded as one of the most highly respected veterans in the healthcare arena. He is the architect of Strategic Performance Planning, has contributed to multiple books on leadership and the future of healthcare, and is himself, a published author.
But much of his journey transcends the roles assigned. He counts among his most significant accomplishments – the ability to survive and thrive in the face of over 2-dozen restructures and 5 mergers and acquisitions, becoming – over time – one of the few industry veterans to successfully weather the waves of downsizings that swept the pharmaceutical world. The experiences and the insights gained inform the book The Compass Solution; A Guide to Winning Your Career.
It promises to be a definitive guidebook for building a thriving career – with the practical tips acquired from a lifetime of experience. If you’re SERIOUS about writing your career story, a must read. The book is slated for release later this year.
Tim is married to his high school sweetheart Nancy and they are the proud parents of two sons. Brandon and his wife Rosellie are expecting their first child soon. David is still happily single.

In this episode, Richard G. Lowe, Jr., "The Writing King," discusses that the best way to brand a business is through the publication of your own book.
Richard goes on to explain that every business needs to be branded and they have an image they're trying to portray, especially smaller businesses. A book lends credibility to the business owner. Clients and prospects are impressed by people who are authors based solely on the fact that they equate authorship with expertise.
Richard notes that the more books you have in a subject matter area, the greater the credibility you are perceived to have on that topic. For example, he has written two books in the survivalist/prepper genre. If he tried to sell himself in that arena, his two books would immediately establish his credibility with his prospect.
In the interview, Richard adds that many people do not have the ability to write their own books, so that's when a ghostwriter would be hired. He then details how to find a ghostwriter for a book, noting that the ghost-writing process can take as long as nine months and will require an investment of anywhere from $10,000-$50,000 from the person hiring the ghostwriter.
After spending over 33 years in the computer and information technology industry, Richard decided to take an early retirement to pursue his dreams of becoming a professional writer and published author.
In addition to creating hundreds of articles for the web and blogs, Richard actively works as a professional ghostwriter. In that role, he has completed books on a wide variety of subjects including memoirs, business volumes, and novels. Because of his in-depth background in software management and computer security, Richard has ghostwritten several major books in those areas.
He has personally authored and published over two dozen books of his own and is currently working on a large number of short Kindle eBooks on a wide variety of subjects.

George Hirthler is one of the leading creative talents at work in the Olympic Movement today. A writer/producer, Hirthler is a seasoned campaign director who has served as chief communications strategist for ten international Olympic bid campaigns, including the winning bids of Atlanta 1996, Beijing 2008 and Vancouver 2010.
Through two decades of Olympic research, Hirthler became increasingly interested in the life of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, and increasingly astonished that this remarkable man was so widely unknown. In 1996, the Republic of France awarded Hirthler the title of Chevalier in the Order of Arts and Letters for his work in promoting the Olympic Ideal and the legacy of Baron Pierre de Coubertin.
In 2004, Sports Business Journal named Hirthler one of the 20 Most Influential People in the Olympic Movement for his work on bids. In 2011, Hirthler turned his attention to historical fiction and four and a half-years later, finished The Idealist, the first major novel on the life and times of the founder of the modern Olympic Games.
A graduate of Temple University’s School of Theatre and Communications, Hirthler lives in Atlanta with his wife, Carole.
Storyline of The Idealist
It’s January 1937. Baron Pierre de Coubertin has just turned 74. He’s broke, his health is failing, and although he has created one of the most influential international movements of the 20th century, he is completely unknown outside a small circle of admirers. Angry at their losses, his wife can hardly withhold her bitter animosity, his son is tragically impaired, his daughter is battling mental illness, and his great creation is about to fall into the hands of a Nazi madman leading the world to war. Hope arrives when a new ally appears. Jacques St. Clair from Le Petit Journal in Paris, the world’s leading Olympic sportswriter, moves to Lausanne with his American fiancé, the painter Juliette Franklin, to spend a year writing the baron’s biography. Once St. Clair begins the interviews, Coubertin is rejuvenated as his story unfolds in scenes that flash back through the past seven decades. The young couple becomes fully immersed in Coubertin’s life—as Juliette begins to paint the baron’s portrait—and both are deeply affected as his health declines and the race to finish the interviews faces an increasingly impossible deadline.
The Idealist is a vivid portrait of an extraordinary man set against the backdrop of transformation that gave us the splendors of Paris in the luminous years of the Belle Époch. Hirthler’s meticulously researched writing evokes a vivid historical panorama of the birth of the modern Olympic Movement through the eyes of the man who made it happen. In the pages of this novel, we are transported to the front rows of history and immersed in the untold story of Coubertin’s unrelenting drive to create our world’s greatest celebration of humanity.
