Michael Whitehouse is The Guy Who Knows a Guy. In 2014, he came to Groton, Connecticut knowing no one at all. A year later, after diving into networking with both feet, he was a major connector in the local community. In 2020, he went global and began connecting entrepreneurs, investors, speakers and others around the world to people they need to know. 

He offers his services as a networking concierge, making connections and building strategic alliances around the world. He is the host of the daily Morning Motivation Podcast and the Guy Who Knows a Guy interview podcast.

Michael Whitehouse says he is not a networking wizard. He has simply employed certain techniques to connect with people and build win-win relationships, and he is working hard to share what he has learned with as many people as he can.

Tiffanee Cook is a boxer, trainer, epigenetics coach, and host of the podcast ‘Roll With The Punches’, who uncovered her childhood trauma when she stepped into the boxing ring at 29.

“Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the face”

Tiffanee has learned this as a business woman, performance coach and boxer; from the comfort, predictability and safety provided by the corporate world, to the lessons and let-downs in and out of the boxing ring. Coming to the realisation that, in order to have one’s hand raised in triumph, adversity, discomfort and combat must be navigated. In the face of the messiness of life, do we fight or do we flee?

Fuelled by the unexpected. Tiff's exposure to the corporate boxing experience opened her eyes to the connection between our physical, mental and spiritual selves.  It lifted the lid on a world full of opportunities far beyond the one in which she once lived and it paved a path to growth, success, health and above all happiness.

Kerryn is an international speaker and author, facilitator, and podcast host.

For many years Kerryn lived the self-focused rockstar life, until the fateful day her younger sister was diagnosed with cancer. Sadly, Carolyn lost her battle, which made Kerryn believe she was a failure for not being able to save her sister. This catapulted Kerryn into a journey of searching for meaning, eventually leading her to discover the pearls of altruism.

After 11 years of frustration and pain, she finally realised that the answers lie within and that she had the power to slam her own stake in the ground and build her life on her terms with the clear focus of impact.

Since that realisation, Kerryn’s award winning book ‘Magnificent Kids!’ was the catalyst to her founding the global organisation One Planet Classrooms, which facilitates projects such as clean water solutions and student sponsorship program, to schools and communities in Africa.

Kerryn then launched Girls With Hammers which hosts conferences and workshops aimed at empowering and connecting women, has released her second book ‘Get Off The Bench!’ to help people bring their ideas to life, and brought the ‘Get Off The Bench!’ Podcast to life after a number of false starts and a stint of despair.

Lizbeth Meredith is an award winning author, speaker online teacher who enjoys coaching and consulting part-time - a fun addition after three-decades career serving crime victims and offenders.

As a young child from a chaotic home punctuated by ineducation, family violence, and parental kidnapping, Lizbeth couldn’t wait to become an adult to create a brighter future. Instead, in her mid-twenties, she found herself living in a domestic abuse shelter in 1990 with her two small daughters. It took everything and then some to get a degree in journalism, learn to parent instead of control, and get a job at the very battered women’s shelter that had previously helped her.  

In 1994, Lizbeth Meredith said good-bye to her four- and six year-old daughters for a visit with their non-custodial father only to learn days later that they had been kidnapped and taken to their father's home country of Greece.

Her memoir, Pieces of Me: Rescuing My Kidnapped Daughters, was published by She Writes Press, and has recently been adapted as Stolen By Their Father: The Lizbeth Meredith Story on Lifetime Television.
