Abstract Essay

Bart Merrell

Identify your ideal side hustle, create financial security by monetizing what you already know or do.

Hi, I'm Bart Merrell—International Entrepreneur, Author, and Presenter of Monetize Your Mindset.

As a serial entrepreneur, I've been turning opportunities into successful ventures since before I could legally drive (though, admittedly, I did crash my parents' car when I was eight). I'm also the creator of two YouTube channels: Beyond Limbs: Amputee Answers & Options and Side Hustle Samurai.

Fun fact: I helped take the first commercial bungee jump to Japan. I'm still not sure if that's something to brag about, especially since I jumped off the tower while holding the cord with my hands!

My mission is simple: I want to help you create financial security by monetizing what you already know. Life's curveballs are inevitable—but when you've built a solid financial foundation, you'll be ready to handle them.

In my book, Monetize Your Mindset, I teach that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary success when they learn to see and act on the opportunities that surround them. Whether you're building your first side hustle or expanding an existing business, the key to sustainable financial freedom is right in your mindset.

Awakening Soul-Led Living After 40

Intuition is the most powerful tool in my personal toolbox.

It has guided me into (and out of) careers, relationships, major health challenges, and even helps me navigate daily life with more ease. When I listen to my Intuition, life flows—even during periods of uncertainty or chaos. Over time, I've learned to recognize the signals—physical, emotional, mental—and trust them. I've also learned how to shift from the rational mind into intuitive alignment.

Learning to trust my inner guidance gave me something powerful: agency—the ability to change my own path. Now, I help other women do the same.

With passion, humor, personal stories, and practical tools, I teach the science behind Intuition—how we receive it, how to recognize it, and how to use it. I blend neuroscience, quantum mind-body techniques, and inner wisdom to guide women into their next chapter with clarity, confidence, and the courage to take action.

I also share how to re-engineer this process to more easily manifest the life they dream of.

With 30+ years of study and practice, I'm now sharing everything I know to support midlife women and beyond in discovering what's next—because one thing I know for sure: It's never too late.

Uri Geva

CEO of Cookie Dough Bliss | Serial Entrepreneur | Scaling Sweet Ideas | Baseball, Business & Cookie Dough | Proud husband of 20+ years and dad to 3 awesome kids.

Most people think success follows a straight line.

Mine started with a digital agency, an FBI visit, a baseball scandal, and a spoonful of cookie dough.

I've spent my life building things: teams, businesses, and communities; and learning that leadership isn't about avoiding chaos; it's about who you become inside it.

Infinity Sports & Entertainment :: The Hard Way to Learn Integrity

In my early career, I launched Infinity Sports & Entertainment, a digital agency working with major brands and pro athletes, from the World Poker Tour to the Tennessee Titans, Dallas Cowboys, and a long list of NFL superstars.

We were young, ambitious, and growing fast... maybe too fast. Then came the day that everything imploded. A few bad partners made worse decisions, and before I knew it, the FBI was involved. It was a crash course in business ethics, accountability, and how quickly trust can vanish.

I had to start over, rebuild the company, clean up the mess, and learn one lesson I now teach every entrepreneur: believe in yourself, and never forget that great customer service fixes almost everything.

The Brazos Valley Bombers :: Building Culture After Scandal

Baseball was supposed to be simple: hot dogs, fireworks, and summer nights.

When I founded the Brazos Valley Bombers, my dream was to create a place where families could connect and kids could fall in love with the game. And for the most part, it worked. We built something special.

Then came another test of leadership... a local scandal involving a different partner who allegedly recorded our promo team without consent. It was devastating. It made front pages, wrecked trust, and could have ended the Bombers for good.

I am on a mission to elevate others so that we may all contribute to society at a higher level. || U.S. Marine, Police Officer, Trial Lawyer, Singer-Songwriter, Entrepreneur, Communications Trainer, TEDx Speaker & Emcee, and Rule-Breaker.

Hi there! I'm Steve Gallegos, and my life's mission is helping people break free from limiting beliefs, rewrite their stories, and create lives they never thought possible.

I believe in the power of leaving no one behind—a mindset I forged during my time as a U.S. Marine. Back then, I learned that lifting each other up is the only way to truly succeed.

I'm a bit of a rule breaker (the good kind!). In fact, I once bent the rules so well, I convinced the President of the United States to help me become a U.S. citizen—ask me how! Your audience will love hearing how stepping outside conventional wisdom can lead to extraordinary success.

My superpower? Showing people they're more than just actors in someone else's story. I teach them how to yell "CUT!", take control, and become the writers, producers, and directors of their lives. I help people craft stories worth living—and sharing.

And here's the best part—I come prepared, bringing dynamic energy, engaging stories, and actionable insights. I make your job easy, keep the conversation flowing, and ensure you look like a total rockstar to your audience.

Let's create an unforgettable, high-impact episode that will leave your listeners saying, "Holy crap, I needed that!"
