January Jones sharing Success Stories

When Dougls started on Wall Street, his favorite client was his grandmother.

She, in fact, had been a stock broker many years earlier, having been one of the first women to earn the license. Following in her footsteps, my mother also became an investment advisor, helping clients plan and build wealth throughout her 17-year career. I joined her as a partner in 1992, and the #1 lesson that I learned from her was the importance of educating clients about handling their money wisely. Though we could guide them, they ultimately needed to make the daily dollar decisions themselves. I obtained the licenses that allowed me to advise clients on trading not only stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, but also options, commodities, and futures. Eventually, I earned the license to supervise other advisors and also got the designation of Certified Financial Planner™.

It may be an understatement to describe Donna Voss’s life experience as eclectic.

She is a Berkeley grad, a stay-at-home mom, a former pagan, and a devout Mormon.

Clearly a study in extremes, she is a fifty-something homemaker who loves rap music, outrageously expensive shoes, and people who own their flaws and call her on hers. 

She is avoids negotiating the price of anything but will dive into intense interactions, especially if they are about politics and religion. Raised in the shadow of luxury, her favorite vacation is camping. She is an eternal optimist who is endlessly fascinated by the dark side of good people. Anxious to be liked by all, she has written a memoir, One of Everything, that is sure to provoke everyone about something.

The worst nightmare – and the worst wound – for any parent is the loss of a child. Such a loss cuts to the core of one’s spirit and soul.  But that painful experience sometimes opens our senses to mere inklings as well as clear indicators that there is an energy of life that survives mortal death.  Such was Donna Mebane's experience.

Practical, busy, grounded.  All adjectives that could be applied to Donna.  A successful businesswoman who consulted with companies around the world, Donna was also a wife and mother who had raised four children to young adulthood.  Keeping up with all the demands of her busy life, spirituality was not at the forefront of Donna's mind.

Dan Blanchard the Award Winning Author, Speaker, Educator two-time Junior Olympian Wrestler, and two-time Junior Olympian Wrestling Coach grew up as a student-athlete. However, Dan admits that as a youth he was more of an athlete than a student.  Dan has now successfully completed fourteen years of college and has earned seven degrees. He teaches Special Education in Connecticut’s largest inner-city high school where he was chosen by the AFT-CT as the face and voice of educational reform. In addition, Dan is a Teacher Consultant for the University of Connecticut’s Writing Project. Finally, Dan is a double veteran of the Army and the Air Force.

Because Dan’s students repeatedly asked him to write a book  to tell others what he tells them,  Dan finally listened and has now authored the Granddaddy’s Secrets teen leadership book series.  His first book Feeling Lucky? is available at Amazon. Dan is currently writing a second edition for his second book, Feeling Good. His third book of the Granddaddy’s Secrets series, Feeling Strong! will be out next year.
