John Dwyer bio:

John is a marketing enigma, a “direct response customer attraction expert” who thinks way outside the box.

His marketing consultancy business is called The Institute Of Wow – & John’s mantra is that one’s marketing needs to “wow” prospects.

He’s also the guy who shocked the marketing world some years back when he convinced Jerry Seinfeld to come out of retirement to be the spokesman for an Australian banking institution, The Greater Building Society.

Jerry headed up a “free vacation campaign” which broke home loan lending records and remains folklore in the global banking industry… people received a “free vacation” when they got a home loan.

This was probably one of the most successful “incentive-promotions” in the world, resulting in many BILLIONS of dollars in extra home loans.

John helps business owners understand how to leverage platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn by implementing “incentive-based marketing offers” that can be targeted to specific audiences.

His client list reads like a Who’s Who of business and includes Rupert Murdoch’s News Ltd, 7-Eleven, Westfield Shopping Centres, Walt Disney, KFC, and BP, to name a few.

Such companies have used his skills because they acknowledge he is “the master of creating incentives that work.”

He has created done-for-you “customer incentive packages” that businesses can plug & play – including “extraordinary customer rewards” like Fuel Savings & Free Vacations.

When it comes to “unique marketing concepts” that attract an avalanche of new clients, John certainly delivers.

Brian Herriot bio:

Brian is an author, speaker, three-time founder, entrepreneurship coach, and Registered Investment Advisor.

For years, Brian followed the conventional path to success, climbing the corporate ladder at Accenture and UCSF Health. He worked long hours, saved diligently, and did everything you’re supposed to do financially. He had security, but no freedom to live his best life–his time was not his own.

Brian has since built a lifestyle business that prioritizes flexibility but still supports his financial goals. He works on his terms—ramping up and down as he chooses. During the summer, you’ll find him at his cabin on Lake Seventeen in beautiful Hazelhurst, Wisconsin. 

To make this new life possible, he leverages an investment strategy designed for entrepreneurs.
