I'm on a mission to ignite a massive shift in human consciousness.

How to Trust in The Divine and End Your Suffering Despite What’s Going on in Your Life

Ever notice how when a traumatic event happens your mind starts spinning? Our thoughts can become trapped in the past or anxious about an event happening again in our future. We relive this traumatic event over and over again in our heads.

This causes us to suffer, sometimes unbearably.

But it doesn’t have to be that way for you.

Fortunately, there is an alternative that brings relief and allows us to move forward once again. Through her own journey of pain and suffering, author Dr. Nancy Wiley had a spiritual awakening that resulted in emotional freedom. In Divine Trust, she offers a direct and easy step-by-step solution to end your stress and despair.

Based on 44 years of carefully researched scientific and spiritual principles, and direct experience the wisdom in Divine Trust will give you unquestioning knowing that:

A feeling or a knowing that you are safe
A sense of deep Peace
After practicing the techniques in this book, you may even have a full-blown experience of enlightenment!

We are moving out of navigating from the everyday mind and moving into wholeness—the whole alignment of our body, mind, and spirit. When we navigate from this aligned consciousness, we take a quantum leap into living life as divine beings, the highest expression of human potential.

08 Jan 2024#441 - Jim Kraus gets REAL about what influences Buyers most?00:40:24

**WHAT WE DO**

We develop insights into what buyers need to know and experience before they will invest in your solution.
These insights are 100% fact-based and developed through in-depth interviews with recent buyers.
Buyer personas take all the guesswork out of marketing and sales by revealing your buyers:

1 - Priority Initiatives - what triggers buyers to look for your solution now
2 - Success Factors - results that buyers expect from their investment
3 - Perceived Barriers - purchase fears and concerns that they have
4 - Decision Criteria - criteria buyers use to evaluate their options
5 - Buyer's Journey - steps, people involved, resources trusted

Use these insights to develop strategies and messaging that influence buyers at each stage in the funnel.

**RESULTS YOU CAN EXPECT**
(client testimonials):

“It's like getting the answers before the test! Because we’re using the language of customers and focusing on their priorities, we’ve engaged 8,100 new buyers this year, nearly doubling the 4,400 from all of last year.” (CMO)

“The pipeline experienced triple-digit growth from the new messaging. Our sales reps really appreciate it. We're making their lives easier because we’re telling them how to win!” (VP, Product Marketing)

“At a recent trade show, our biggest competitor was across the aisle. When visitors came to our booth, they asked what made us different. We were ready – the persona work made it easy to communicate differentiation. It was the most successful trade show we’ve ever done!” (SVP, Marketing)

“The insights told us what to say and not to say. It contributed to a new tagline and a deep awareness of buyer journey stages. It helped us build specific marketing elements for different stages: what to say to whom, when.” (CMO)

“We streamlined our messaging to the most important touchpoints, to the kind of education buyers actually want. Now we can say to our colleagues, ‘These are the messages we need to say and why.’” (Director, Brand Marketing)

**NEXT STEPS**

23 Aug 2024#451 - Cari Jacobs-Crovetto gets REAL about becoming a Highly Effective Uniquely HUMAN00:38:47

I occupy a wide spectrum of expertise - creating "from scratch" brands based in applied customer insights to growth hacking and supercharged customer relationship marketing programs that create loyalty beyond reason; from going deep and wide in growth and acquisition marketing, brand strategy, customer cross selling to building loyalty programs / CRM, and events, experiential, comms and PR; and from assembling, coaching and leading high performance teams to coaching c-suites and executives on creating business strategies that are as impactful as they are "felt in the bones" to easing anxiety and improving communications for a CEO.

You might ask yourself, “what’s the Venn diagram between business strategy, stellar marketing and executive coaching?” It all starts with a core governing belief: When we understand the core practice of empathy for another person – for the customer, for others and for ourselves, it all becomes a cake walk from there; )

I love understanding people. What makes them feel, or act, or think. That comes alive as much in customer journey mapping, customer personas and segmentation as it does in a deeply grounded coaching session. But it is not enough just to understand the customer, or the client. It is how that understanding comes to life in application. And how it is then transformed into action. I have applied years of on-the-job operations to now help leaders and organizations surface their best strategic thinking, deepen customer understanding and self-awareness, build better brands, create breakthrough stories and live from an emotionally intelligent and wide space.

22 Sep 2021#357 - Christian Banach gets REAL about helping agencies land 6- and 7-figure opportunities predictably00:40:58

Hi. I'm Christian. I started a concert promotion and experiential marketing agency in high school and would grow it to over $10MM in sales.

We activated hundreds of events each year with artists like Lady Gaga, T-Pain, and Pitbull, and provided event marketing programs for clients like Disney, Toyota, Anheuser-Busch, and Red Bull.

When the 2008 recession happened, our business took a hit. I needed a system that landed new business opportunities predictably. I began reading books, taking courses, and even hired a sales consultant. But unfortunately, it was too late, and the agency didn't make it.

Inspired by the sales strategies and tactics that I began to implement, I pivoted my career. Since then, I've held various agency biz dev roles and was VP at an outsourced lead generation firm.

Throughout this journey, I've been endlessly researching, experimenting, and optimizing my own lead generation system. I've experienced immense success, winning millions of dollars of new business.  https://christianbanach.com/

Fast forward to today. Rather than work for one agency as an individual contributor, I've decided to branch out on my own again so that I can help hundreds, maybe even thousands of agencies, land 6- and 7-figure opportunities predictably through my system.

29 Oct 2021#368 - Michael Unbroken gets REAL about Thinking Unbroken 00:47:41

My journey is not dissimilar to that of millions of people around the world. I grew up in chaos. My mother was a drug addict and alcoholic. My father abandoned me when I was barely 2 years old. My step-father was hyper abusive, and the kind of guy that you pray never enters your life. We grew up in The Mormon Church where I was molested by one of the Ward’s mothers in the night. Since we were often homeless and the church partitioners took us in I wasn’t allowed to say a word. By the time I was 11 I had been entirely stripped of my childhood. Between the beatings, belittlement, molestation, and homelessness I was ready to kill myself. By 12 I was using drugs daily. One of my brothers and I were adopted by our racist grandmother.

My businesses were booming, but everything else around me was in shambles. I was addicted to sex, porn and love, I was drinking and getting stoned every day, and seeking validation from every external source I could find. I was also in the worst shape of my life at over 140 lbs overweight and morbidly obese. I was stricken with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and suicidal thoughts. Then one day everything changed.

After another drug and alcohol-fueled night, I woke up hating myself. I hated who I was, and I hated who I had become. As a child, I promised myself that I would be better than the people that brought me into the world and I had broken that promise. I decided in a single moment that everything had to change. Fast forward 6 years and I am the happiest and healthiest that I have ever been.
I no longer seek validation from drugs, booze or women. I have transformed my body and my mind through hard work, dedication, persistence, and unwavering belief that I can do anything.

Today I educate people around the world on the effects of trauma and how to get out of THE VORTEX, take their lives back, and become the person that they know they are. The most important piece of that puzzle is taking the first step.

21 Sep 2023#434 - Nik Tarascio gets REAL about Building an Private Jet Airline Company in 202300:33:31

Understanding how to utilize private jets to serve your lifestyle or business needs can feel like a complex undertaking. At Ventura Air Services, we help people who want to charter or acquire an aircraft as well as those who already own but want to reduce costs or want support in maintaining their aircraft. I welcome the opportunity to discuss our services with you.  https://venturajet.com/

Growing up at my parent’s flight school, I was immersed in the world of private aviation. My earliest memories are of completing my coloring books from the back of a prop plane. At 16, I earned my license to fly solo and mechanics certification. By 19, I was piloting jets. As CEO of Ventura, I help people create their own private aviation lifestyle.

This is how we make it possible:
• Define and source the right aircraft for your mission and secure financing
• Set up ownership structures to maximize tax and financial benefits
• Manage all aspects of your plane so you only need to show up for flights
• Help make a financial return while reducing ownership costs
• Hire and provide experienced pilots and crews
• Find the right type of charter aircraft for your travels to anywhere
• Provide certified and licensed aircraft maintenance, avionics services and complete aircraft upgrades

I’ve heard colleagues say that the number one thing they would do if they made a big exit or had a big financial win is buy a jet. Once I show them the numbers, most are shocked that chartering and owning don’t require as much investment as expected. This inspired my book: Own Your Own Plane: It Costs Less Than You Think. Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Own-Your-Plane-Costs-Think-ebook/dp/B079SDH2RG

To make the dream of owning a plane possible, we created an aircraft ownership program that allows for an incredible tax benefit while eliminating fixed costs and provides a revenue stream to offset costs.

When I am not flying or leading Ventura, I write and perform music in NYC. I enjoy biking, snowboarding, and talking about big ideas.

12 Apr 2022#395 - Anthony Sabatino gets REAL about Business Is Simple, People Are Complicated00:27:14
My name is Anthony Sabatino, CEO and Founder of ASPF Solutions, LLC. We are the optimal business consulting company located in New York City working with top tier businesses across the country focusing on infancy to small and midsize companies with only one thing at the forefront of the strategy... results.

Over the last decade I have sought the habits, hacks and knowledge of business growth to a level that is unprecedented to most, but necessary to the successful, and from all of this I’ve developed my system which has helped over 200 businesses up to the real present time.

My goal? To work in the trenches with businesses including the owners and directors to create massive growth. We all know as business men and women that results are something that will always need to be first priority and thats exactly why our system works so well to accomplish benchmarks desired by the business in an independent fashion, meaning geared toward each specific scenario.

We do this by strategically probing all the key pieces of the business that are in need of immediate improvement... in many cases these areas come in shape by Sales Processes, Branding/Marketing, Creative Variable, Company Structuring, Delegation Strategy, Macro Long-Term Strategy and the presence of high level Emotional Intelligence (EQ).

Our preference is to work closely and 1 on 1 with clients as over our years of experience have found that strategy to be the ultimate route for genuine business results... we do not accommodate or recommend courses or anything along those lines due to the very realistic understanding that in order to grow a business truthfully, you not only need information but access to the source to ensure its success.

Please check out our website at www.aspfsolutions.com for more in depth detail about how we can support your businesses needs and desires.

We operate differently in that we inject high level emotional intelligence in every business function based on the belief that business is simple, people are complicated... we must understand ourselves and our abilities at a high level to execute at the highest level in business.

Kevin Lisitsin was born in Modesto, California, the first of three sons. His mother, Cindy, is a Central Valley native, and father, Keith, is originally from the San Francisco bay area, the son of a Russian immigrant. Kevin learned from his parents at an early age the value of hard work and self-sufficiency. He has been promoted and has brought greater productivity and profitability to every company he’s worked for, and he has a long history of youth development, volunteering as a mentor to middle school-age students including inmates in local juvenile justice programs and involved in many professional non-profits that help bring education to home ownership for all.

Currently, Kevin owns a local Farmers Insurance Agency which serves the greater Fresno area in auto, home, commercial, and life insurance. He is also co-owner of Rocket Dog Gourmet Brats and Brew, a locally owned and operated one-of-a-kind eatery currently and Summer Fox Brewery in 2019, with two locations. He is co-founder of a non-profit that will be working with foster kids form 15-25 years of age, called Diligent Heart. But Kevin’s most important job and source of greatest pride is his family: Sarah and his children Claire, Nolan, and Elijah.

24 May 2022#399 - AJ Vassar gets REAL about becoming a Transformational Sales Hacker00:29:05
There are many people whose lives and message are impactful and need to be shared. The best way to do this is to first transform yourself to a person worth hearing. There are so many life hacks that we can use to create a better life for ourselves. One of the best things you can learn to do is the skill of selling.

Learning to sell, has opened a new life for me because humans are always selling each other. I now teach people to sell and/or become professional speakers. My selling proprietary system is called EDUCATE AND ELEVATE.

If you want to become a professional speaker for example: why not share it internationally in front of event planners that hire speakers? This is the best way to break into the speaking arena! There is power in your story and message. It's time for it to be heard. Your job is to make sure the right people hear it.

This is just one life hack. One of the best things we can do is find life hacks that work for us and use them to transform our lives. This helps create success in less time, with less energy, and much more enjoyment.

15 Feb 2022#387 - Haven Turner gets REAL about Release All In Love & Trust00:33:37

Before becoming a Life Coach and Self-Help Author, Haven’s educational years found her bouncing all around the United States.

During undergrad Haven had the awesome privilege of going abroad to Spain. After college she entered the classroom and was blessed to teach 1 st , 3 rd , 4 th and 5 th grade.

By focusing on respecting individual differences, workplace transparency, appreciating employees efforts and driving accountability, I have led number of very successful sales teams.

I have had the privilege of working for market leading organizations and learning from some really smart people.

As a mentor and coach, I’ve trained countless sales professionals. Over the years, I've hired many first time salespeople. Most have successful selling careers today and some are are now leading winning sales teams of their own, which is something that I take great pride in.

25 Mar 2022#392 - Brad Farris gets REAL about Leadership Development for Agency Founders.00:26:39

The actions, mindsets, and activities that built your agency to $1M in sales are not going to get you to $5M.

Getting to $1M took hustle, grit, and determination. YOU invested the time, the sweat, and the energy that build this firm. You learned so much, accounting, HR rules, how to manage, how to sell…the list goes on and on!

But now you are the bottleneck.

👉 You can’t learn it all anymore – you need to hire people who know more than you do!
👉 You can’t be in every meeting, schmooze every client, review all the creative – you need a team to do that.
👉 And the accounting was never your thing, but you need more than a bookkeeper!

How could you ever hire all the help you need without going broke? Besides, if you did, what would your job be?

🗣 “You can only grow your business as big as you grow yourself.” — Julia Pimsleur

What if, instead of pursuing business growth as your metric, you pursued growing your leadership capacity instead?

You might find that the freedom, accomplishment, happiness, and growth you were looking for are available to you in the business that you have. Your company might only grow as a result of your personal growth without the sleepless nights and nail-biting terror that others have experienced.

The life you want to live and the person you want to be don’t come from your circumstances. All of that comes from who you are and how you are in the world.

If you want to experience a shift there, then let’s talk.

🗣️ “Brad gave us a smooth-running agency that is profitable and healthy. In our industry, things are unpredictable, and with Brad’s help, I know we can withstand anything.”

Learning where you are is a great place to start. If you head over to https://anchoradvisors.com/growth-phase, there’s a brief, 8 question assessment. It can help you to determine what your focus needs to be NOW.

29 Sep 2021#360 - Devon Werner gets REAL about Wander Lust: The Chocolate Made Me Do It00:26:59

In life, we often have a picture of how we think the future will look. The picture is so clear to us, we can embrace it as if it has already come into existence. What do we do when we become so attached to a vision of how things should be that we lose sight of how things are?  When we are scared to alter our current course for fear it will change our future.

Take a moment to evaluate your day. Is it filled with draining people, boring routines, and an overwhelming desire for more? What if you stepped outside of your ordinary day-to-day and tried something different? Sure, it’s easy to dream about, but there are a million reasons why we just keep on keeping on. Sitting with our excuses and spending many of our days living out the monotonous moments creates complacency. in turn, all we can do is long for more.  When we alter the course, each moment becomes something so much more impactful. It changes our perspectives. It changes us.

My name is Devon Werner and I am the author of Wander Lust: The Chocolate Made Me Do It. I wrote this book as a way to chronicle my adventures and reflect upon the happenstance of my life. The process of writing this book made me realize that I wanted to share my story with others who may need to read it. I have been through some difficult moments in my life and found it helpful to read about others who had similar experiences. People who get it.

Join me as I welcome you in to some of life’s most epic moments, from adrenaline rushing adventures, hilarious outtakes, and the raw emotions of navigating through life, love, and loneliness. This book will take you on a journey through all of the feels.

As you read this book, I hope you realize that you are worthy of an epic story, regardless of what has been written before. When you prioritize yourself over your excuses, you too, can rewrite the story that you deserve.

You will love this book if you enjoy reflection and story telling that embraces self discovery and human connection.

Wander Lust: The Chocolate Made Me Do It, speaks to all readers regardless of age, background, circumstance whether you are a traveler; want to be traveler; adventure seeker; hopeless romantic; lover of chocolate; or just really want a relatable character that struggles with many of the same challenges we all face every day

21 Jun 2023#430 - Eliana Gilad gets REAL about helping healing professionals to harness the power of their healing voice00:30:09

Two-time award winning TEDx speaker, #1 International Best-Selling Author, Innovative leader of helping healing professionals to harness the power of their healing voice for health, wellness and feminine empowerment. Healing Music Pioneer, Founder of Voices of Eden, ► ElianaGilad@gmail.com ◄ & ► 310.951.3947 ◄ ► www.VoicesOfEden.com/etworkshop

Many people have been mesmerized by my unusual voice. When I was 8, I received a gift of Hebrew music and learned all the words sung in this ancient tongue, by heart. At 13, in Israel, a wise woman leader encouraged me to sing. This healed my humiliation of having my mouth washed out with soap when I’d express my truth, even when it contradicted what others thought was best for me. I learned to follow my inner voice.

It guided me to leave the US, broadcast the Olympic Games for CBS, give two TEDx talks, and initiate the world’s first live healing music medical research project in a 50/50% Israeli-Palestinian neonatal intensive care unit that got featured in the worldwide press (and I’m not even a medical doctor)!
I love helping leaders to trust their inner voice and tap into the ancient wisdom of feminine leadership. These are unprecedented times. It’s time we lead in unprecedented ways.

I started my career working in private equity, and I worked for more than 4 years identifying and analyzing investment opportunities and managing investment portfolios.

My dream was to work for myself and to enjoy freedom from the confines of the 9-to-5 office life, so I started MaidThis as a side-hustle. Since then I’ve traveled to over 50 countries while building my company remotely. After a while, I decided to to franchise the playbook and launched MaidThis Franchise.

MaidThis helps homeowners and short-term rental hosts with their cleanings. As a franchise, it helps our owners build their own meaning of “freedom” by empowering them to build their own fully remote, new-age business from anywhere in the world.

06 Nov 2023#438 - David CM Carter gets REAL about How the Entelechy Academy Limited is changing the World 00:51:20

Entelechy Academy is the intentioned ‘entelechy’ of David’s career and life purpose – his mentoring legacy project – where he wants to make a positive difference to millions by supporting them (and himself) to actualise their potential and become the very best version of themselves.
A 40+ year career has had a ‘red-thread’ of creating new business concepts and making them become a reality, despite being regularly told ‘that's not possible’. A tenacious visionary who bravely and courageously ‘gets stuff done’ that others often thought impossible.
During his life, David has built a unique and precious asset. Not only has he understood the fundamental importance of character qualities as the foundation of personal growth and development. He has and for the first time, codified those qualities and developed a framework that links those qualities to the soft and technical skills that people need to succeed.
During his twenties, David spent ten years in investment banking and private equity (living abroad in the USA, UK, Europe, Middle and Far East) where he learned a lot about how to do business in many key cultures around the world – as well as being involved in many business verticals. In his thirties he transitioned from advisor/consultant to be an entrepreneur in the UK leisure sector, including two start-ups, the first of which was sold, and the second launched on the AIM stock market.
David spent the next 14 years building and leading, as Founder, CEO and Chairman, Merryck & Co., which eventually became the world’s leading CEO Business Mentoring Company. In 2010, he exited — and launched himself as THE MENTOR — using the techniques in his first book BREAKTHROUGH.
David has enjoyed the highest of personal and business successes — as well as survived a few failures and near disasters, plus 20 years as a single parent, each time making a comeback as a ‘better version of himself’.
David is a zen master at equanimity, and would be described by those who have worked with and for him as high impact, determined, creative, intelligent, imaginative, curious, interesting, and interested.
David’s belief in others is matched only by his restless frustration that so little is done to unlock the potential that we all have. The Entelechy Academy practically addresses this challenge, for the benefit of individuals and society alike.

03 Jan 2022#380 - Howie Zales gets REAL about Providing broadcast-quality livestreams and remote recording productions00:23:32

When the pandemic brought the television broadcast industry to a screeching halt, and put an end to in-person meetings, gatherings and conferences for the foreseeable future, the demand for broadcast-standard, high-quality livestreaming and remote recording skyrocketed.

But finding the right people with expert skills to meet that demand - and protect and enhance your organization’s reputation by creating a seamless and engaging experience for your audience - can prove difficult.

I offer two solutions - both backed by my 25 years of experience as an in-demand, Emmy Award winning camera operator who has worked across a dozen Super Bowls, multiple Olympic Games, dozens of Wrestlemania PPVs and 20 Kentucky Derby Horse Races to name just a few high-caliber, high-pressure events that I thrive at producing and managing.

Viridity Entertainment Services, can give your company a professional-standard livestream from anywhere in the world. There are many advantages to this including getting your message out to more people than ever before, and opening up new revenue avenues and business opportunities.

Covid-19 hasn’t just forced traditional broadcasters to change how they do things, it’s also companies who never considered video content that there’s an opportunity to connect with more people in the virtual world. Whether that’s through meetings, presentations, conferences, or full-scale events - Viridity Entertainment Services can bring your organization to the cutting edge of the livestream revolution.

Meanwhile, one of the most satisfying achievements in all my decades as a camera operator is my mentoring of the next generation. This is one of the most interesting jobs in the world, but breaking into the industry can be hard without a guide and the right set of skills to hit the ground running. That’s why I created…

The Broadcast Sports Course!

This is my proprietary training and mentorship program that helps aspiring television sports technicians get that all-important foot in the door of the industry and build a long, successful and well-paid freelance career.

Passing on all to the new wave of freelance technicians is my way of giving back to an industry that has given me everything.

If your organization wants to tap into the many opportunities that livestreaming and recorded productions offers, or you’re an aspiring TV sports freelance technician who is trying to get their break into the industry, I can definitely help you and urge you to get in touch.

09 Sep 2021#351 - Oz Konar get REAL about the Business Lending Blueprint00:45:58

I’ll get to the point... If your plan to starting and growing your Merchant Cash Advance business is to lease an office, hire a bunch of sales people, buy UCC data and have them dial all day long to close deals, I am sorry, but you are in trouble. That's exactly what each person who gets into this industry does, and more than 90% of them don't survive their first year.
If you want to be a part of that 90%,,great, I just gave you the recipe. But if you are serious about what you are doing and you really are committed to build this as a solid business, you can't keep using what worked in 90's and expect to build a healthy business.
Why?
Not because if won't work. You will close deals, but you will get your deals stolen, you will sell on rate, you will lose deals because everyone is calling on the same list, you will have to work 8-16 hours a day to make a living.
I don't think you need more reasons.
OK.
If you are ready to take this business seriously and build a solid business by using all the online tools available to you without having to bag for deals and have clients come to you,
Here is the link to watch my Free training how to just do that; ===>https://localmarketingstars.com/website
