About Alison Lager:

Alison began her career in mental health over 30 years ago. She founded Lager Counseling Services on the principle that too many people live their lives in an automated state and never deal with the systemic issues that keep them repeating the same lives they have become accustomed to hating. "It is time to stop hacking at the leaves to get to the root."

Being tired of the traditional use of psychotherapy, Alison has differentiated her service from the rest. After being an influencer and sharing her knowledge on social media, Alison discovered the hidden needs of so many who didn't have access to the kind of help they needed. This sparked her desire to create "Alison Answers."

A platform that includes podcasts, digital programs, and online therapy designed to AWAKEN US ALL to our excellence with one goal: #MISSIONAWAKE

About Skylar Sullivan:

Skylar started woodworking when he was four years old. His education and passion for woodwork were taught by his mom. He never really pursued woodworking until college, when he started making small things for and around the house. Once this happened, his passion grew. That's his purpose to create amazing heartfelt products. And this has been with him ever since.

Skylar grew up in a military family and was always told to stick to his guns and follow the path of a means to an end. He found through though, like most things in life, the end is never explained. Skylar’s journey started while working night shifts, and he ended up making a fantastic pen. Just before he went to work, he posted a picture of it on his Facebook, a friend reached out and exclaimed he really needed to start selling these pens. This was a catalyst and from there Skylar’s passion exploded. Then next, he launched an Etsy site, which allows consumers to buy directly from someone who put their heart and soul into making something special.
