Linda Lauren a Fourth Generation Psychic Medium, Author, Color and Energy Expert and Business Consultant joins Enterprise Radio for a fascinating discussion about how she uses her abilities to bring Positive Energy to individual clients, families and businesses.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Linda Lauren discuss the following:

* How long have you been a practicing Psychic Medium and where is your Metaphysical Center?

* How do you prepare for each day and client?

* How do you come up with ideas to create new products such as The Vibe Room Energy Spray or your Meditation CD, Graceful Meditations with Linda Lauren?

* In your book, Medium Rare-The Memoir of a Fourth Generation Psychic Medium, you discuss working with your Angels and Guides to manifest new things, can you please explain that relationship?

* You talk about the need for positive energy every day, how do you do that with colors?

* How do you incorporate all your abilities when you do corporate workshops

.

* You talk about meditation being so important, please explain how that works in your business
.

* I noticed all your employees wear crystal bracelets, why?

Linda Lauren is a 4th Generation Psychic Medium who owns and operates Linda Lauren’s Embracing The Universe in Mountainside, NJ. She has been a professional psychic since consulting with law enforcement in a murder investigation dating back to 1978. She is most noted for her ability to tap into the energy of a person via Intuitive Zoning™, which is by the touch of a hand, a look into the eyes, or the sound of a voice. When she stares into a person’s eyes, Linda actually “sees” a shaded vision of events just as one would see on television. Slow moving flashes of pictures emerge of past, present or future. Because of this gifted ability, Linda is able to do sixty-second readings, as well as delve into past lives.

Linda Lauren is also a Color and Energy Consultant and connects with people who come to her for guidance through the color and energy she senses around them. This led to the NY Times referring to her as the ‘Travel Psychic™’ wherein she reads that same energy to guide her clients with their travel plans. She is also a Reiki Practitioner; the use of universal life energy to help heal the mind, body and soul.

Lauren’s psychic abilities have been evident throughout her life.  As a young child, she saw colors around people and with her Mother’s help, learned to interpret those colors. As she grew, her family helped her understand and work with her psychic abilities. In Newark, NJ, where Linda first lived, her Grandmother, known as the ‘Neighborhood Counsel’ would teach her as well.  She has spent her lifetime helping those who come to her.  In high school she was known as ‘Gypsy’ and gave readings for .25¢ to students, teachers and administrators.  In college, Linda’s counseling education added to her knowledge of the mind, body and spirit connection.

Lauren utilizes Psychic Profiling in which she incorporates her assessment of the color and energy around her clients, along with reading their handwriting or photo.  This information also allows Linda to teach her clients how to create positive awareness in their life and environment.  Her iApp, ‘The Vibe’ helps people connect regularly with positive energy through the colors and meanings of Linda Lauren’s Energy Art™ and is available from iTunes.

Linda Lauren has been featured on Buzzfeed.com, CNN, ABC-TV Nightline, Fox and Friends, Vice.com,

Jimmy Maverick, creator of FF Maverick’s My Perfect Fantasy Draft app, the best app on the market to create your champion fantasy football team joins Enterprise Radio to help you with your fantasy football success.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Jimmy Maverick discuss the following:

* How does My Perfect Fantasy Draft app help fantasy football players?

* How much does the app cost? Do I have to pay for every league that I play in, or is the app a one-time purchase?

* Does My Perfect Fantasy Draft app guarantee a fantasy football championship?

* Does the app offer anything for after the draft?

* Does the app work for every type of fantasy football platform?

Jim Maverick is a “fantasy football hobbyist” and is an enthusiastic and dedicated fantasy football player.  He’s been playing fantasy football since the early 2000’s and has experienced both success and hardship during that time.  He always felt the weakest part of his game was the draft because there were so many different moving parts to consider when selecting players.

This app was designed to consolidate all those factors into a single list that’s easy to set up, modify and utilize during a draft.  He used a beta version of this app in both of his leagues in 2015.  He drafted 2nd in a 10-team league and drafted the #1 team.  Then he drafted 12th in a 12-team league and, again drafted the #1 ranked team.  He took both of those teams to the championship game and won one (and lost the other game by less than 2 points).  He attributes a big part of his success to using this app because it helped him easily find the best players for each of his leagues.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Krishna Pendyala discuss the following:

* Could you clarify why it’s so important for leaders to ask themselves this?

* Why is judgment so important for a leader?

* How can a leader improve upon their judgment skills?

* What other factors can come into play here?

* Based on your experience, what are some of the consequences that could stem from a leader not being aware of their ABCDs – so to speak?

Krishna Pendyala is a noted author, speaker and social entrepreneur. He is also the founder and Chief Empowerment Officer of the ChoiceLadder Institute, a social enterprise with a ‘pay it forward’ mission to enhance the skills of human judgment and choice-making by providing training and education.

After more than 25 years as an academic, technology entrepreneur and financial services executive and coach, Pendyala spent the past three years as president of Mindful Nation, speaking around the world and working alongside leaders, veterans, teachers, care providers, entrepreneurs and front-line workers. His interaction with hundreds of other individuals following the release of his critically acclaimed book Beyond the PIG and the APE: Realizing Success and True Happiness helped him gain further insights into the human condition.

The ChoiceLadder Institute helps people learn to choose consciously and be more effective in all aspects of life by producing both intensive and executive workshops that break down the process of making choices into a simple to learn, easy to apply and highly engaging experience. The institute focuses on day-to-day choices that take less than five minutes and highlights the impact of unconscious bias, social conditioning and conventional beliefs on our judgment. The aim of the organization is to enable participants to operate “in the zone” whenever they choose to be there.

Pendyala has also contributed to publications such as The Huffington Post and Advisor Perspectives, and has been a guest on WSJ Video’s Lunch Break.
