There is not much about failure and success that Billy Alvaro has not experienced. His story is packed with extremes in both. First, there's the part about how he went from tending bar to building a career in which he handled over a billion dollars of transactions, and what impact a coke dealer had on that path. 

Next, he crashed right down to the bottom. He was 14 million dollars in debt with no clear path out, and his world caved in around him. Faced with total destruction, Billy tapped into his will and made a bold move that turned the tide. Today he is back on top of his game, working with real estate investors and homeowners across the country as he solves problems and leads clients to major returns on their investments. He's made a stunning comeback that is packed with lessons on resilience and business expertise. 

Billy talks about it all in this episode of American Snippets.

American Snippets is all about you. It's about bringing you up close and personal each week with people who exemplify excellence in their personal and professional lives, and who's stories provide clear messages and lessons you can find inspiration and insight in. We love giving our guests room to share stories they don't typically get asked about on other platforms. We find that these are often the areas our guests bring the most powerful lessons in.

Marshall Sylver has been interviewed hundreds of times, if not more. He has coached thousands of individual clients and spoken or performed for millions. Known as the world's greatest hypnotist, Marshall is constantly asked about the powers of persuasion, the subconscious mind, and for help understanding how to utilize both. He's also frequently asked to share his incredible story of hardship from which he emerged on top. Marshall has talked on both those topics thousands of times, and each time he blows his audience away. 

In this interview, though, Marshall was pulled in a different direction. Listen in as Marshall takes us into areas we normally don't venture into. From his thoughts on the CoronaVirus, to the Federal Reserve and the IRS, Marshall unleashes his views. He offers just enough of his personal story to bring his points home on everything from child trafficking to building massive success, and he does it in his own way.

Get ready for a wild ride with Marshall Sylver on this episode of American Snippets!
