  • Preserving Wealth Through Real Estate with: James Brown

    The Federal Reserve reports Housing

    wealth is about one half of total household net worth which is $52.9 trillion,
    and is larger than the Gross Domestic Product $14.4 trillion. 

    James Brown is a real estate investor, coach, instructor,

    author and adrenaline sport junkie from Alaska. 
    He is an expert in building, and preserving, wealth through real estate.
    My favorite way is through lease-options because there are wins for everyone
    involved. My favorite win is that we are helping people get into home ownership
    that have lost hope. At the same time, we are helping regular people become
    investors like the big hedge funds do. The people that we work with are
    typically busy professionals and folks that want to maximize their retirement
    funds without putting them at risk in investments outside, or inside, real estate.
    Safety, security, consistent predictable long term cash flow, tax benefits and
    capital growth are the primary reasons our team has focused on this for the
    last 40 years. I am the Co-Founder of Real Home Solutions, Realtor, Investor,
    Creative Financing Coach, DORA Continuing Education Instructor, Author of
    Hybrid Real Estate Investing and contributing author to two editions of The
    Guide To Colorado Real Estate Investing Strategies, Host of "This Month In
    Real Estate Investing" Show, Creative Financing Meetup Host.  He joined me this week to tell me more.

  • Without Purpose A Man's Life Is Meaningless with: Nico Lagan

    Across America, 2022 data indicates there are approximately 18.3 million children who live without a father in the home,

    comprising about 1 in 4 US children. About 80% of single-parent homes are led
    by single mothers, according to the American Policy Initiative. 

    Featured in Times Square, Nico Lagan is

    an entrepreneur, men’s coach and host of the controversial podcast: The Nico
    Lagan Show. Growing up Nico didn't have a masculine figure in his life. Without
    the guidance he associated with and idolized the wrong men. Before making the
    shift to who he is now, he lived a life as an addict and a drug dealer. After
    spending more than a decade on the wrong path, working a 9-5 he didn't love he
    realized how many others in the world are just like him and need someone to step
    in and fight for them. Masculinity is under attack in today's society, and Nico
    fearlessly champions strong men. Although others might see Nico's content as
    blunt and unapologetic and "controversial" it brings back the
    fundamentals when men were allowed to be men. What was once a standard way of
    living, is now villainized. As a leader in today's society Nico has been
    featured on many online publications, podcasts that have hundreds of millions
    of views, featured in Times Square in NYC and it's just the beginning. He's a
    published author titled: Purpose: How following your personal legend is the
    answer to your midlife crisis.”. Aimed at men between the ages of 30 to 45 who
    already possess The 5 Virtues of a good man. Provider, protector, courage,
    temperance and faith. Now facing an existential crisis referred to by many as
    the midlife crisis, these men are realizing that they are one day going to die.
    Until that day... Nico will be fighting for all men to reclaim their manliness
    until his very last breath, whether that means getting canceled, banned -
    Nico's ready to do what's right. He joined me this week to tell me more.

  • Chris Janssen: Closing the Gap Between Where They Are and Where They Want to Be

    Personal

    growth and development is a journey of unique experiences for all of us to
    define under fluctuating circumstances, because our portrait of success and
    definition of prosperity differs from our neighbors.  There is one common thread or bonding agent
    which ties all of this together.  The value
    of exploration is a powerful tool to help us carve out a meaningful path
    forward for our lives.  Chris
    Janssen, MA, BCC, is a passionate and inspiring speaker, and a board-certified life
    coach with a master’s in counseling psychology, whose unique style has
    energized hundreds of clients to close the gap between where they are and where
    they want to be.

    A California native, Chris lives

    with her husband since 1995, Scott. They currently split time between Los
    Angeles and Castle Pines, Colorado, where they love to ski, golf, be with their
    horses, and adventure outside. Together they raised three children, now
    thriving young adults.

    Chris excels in working with high

    performers, understands the character traits of driven achievers, and helps
    people thrive doing what they love. Chris says her clients are experts at what
    they do, and she’s an expert at the psychology of what they do. Together they
    achieve outstanding, sustainable results. She joined me this week to tell me
    more.

  • Fighting for Healthcare Equality and Equity for Women with: Amanda Laden

    I’ve got a question which seems to be baffling all American

    society?  Why is the healthcare system
    consistently still broken?  It’s a question
    we all seem to still be scratching our heads to come up with an answer to, probably
    because there isn’t a logical and acceptable answer and I’ve got stats to back
    it up.  According to Gallup - For the
    first time in Gallup’s two-decade trend, less than half of Americans are
    complimentary about the quality of U.S. healthcare, with 48% rating it
    “excellent” or “good.” The slight majority now rate healthcare quality as
    subpar, including 31% saying it is “only fair” and 21% -- a new high -- calling
    it “poor.” These findings are from Gallup’s annual Health and Healthcare
    survey. The latest update was conducted Nov. 9-Dec. 2, 2022.

    A

    key reason views of U.S. healthcare quality have been trending downward in
    recent years is that Republicans’ positive ratings have been subdued since
    President Donald Trump left office. Currently, 56% of Republicans rate
    healthcare quality as excellent or good, whereas 69% felt this way in 2020 and
    75% in 2019. Republicans’ views of healthcare quality also dropped in 2014
    after implementation of the Affordable Care Act before rebounding under Trump.
    Meanwhile, Democrats’ positive ratings have been steady at a lower level
    (currently 44%).

    Amanda Laden is the Founder and CEO of Period to Pause, the

    leading platform for elevating people's voices in their own health, healthcare
    treatment, and well-being. Amanda started Period to Pause equip people to
    advocate for their needs, to change a system that was not set up to support women
     and gender non-conforming people, and to
    help people to rise, vocalize, and mobilize to change the healthcare system.
    She is also a growth strategist and works with organizations to create
    strategies to support diverse populations and create cultures of inclusion and
    belonging. “I spent decades being undiagnosed with a disease called
    adenomyosis.

    The disease caused immense chronic pain, cost me the

    opportunity to have children, and years of suffering. Once I was diagnosed and
    learned that I could have taken measures to reduce it, but the un-diagnosis was
    a system of the medical industrial complex and the money-making machine of IVF,
    it infuriated me.

    I started to dig deeply into women’s issues and uncover

    hidden truths as well as new information that all of us need to know. I now
    share my story as well as those of others so that we take back out power to
    advocate for much-needed change.” She joined me this week to tell me more.

  • Zachary Parker Harris: "The Saddest Thing in Life is Wasted Talent"

    Talent is a productively tangible commodity which is

    distributed differently to all of us in diverse formats.   How we choose to implement and utilize such
    skills is an independent decision we all must make individually.  However, the one thing we cannot do is sit on
    the sidelines of contribution to the conversation of progress because its how we
    collectively move forward.  From a
    business standpoint how productive are we at work and are we reaching our fullest
    potential as a workforce?  We will
    revisit such a notion in just a moment however, in the meantime, I wanted to
    provide you with some thoughts from a LinkedIn national survey from March of
    this year, which revealed 74% of employees say they are not reaching their full
    potential at work.  Mainly due to a lack
    of motivation, burnout and the repetitive nature of the work. Which naturally
    leads to the question of how do we ignite the passion for work again?  Whether it be from an entrepreneurial or corporate
    world standpoint.  For interestingly
    thoughtful answers I enlisted the thoughts of Zachary Parker Harris.  He’s a Entrepreneur
    and Mastermind of Masterminds he also serves as the president of Junto Global.  Junto Global is a
    mastermind of entrepreneurs and business leaders. Our inspiration stems from
    Benjamin Franklin's iconic Junto of 1727, and we've taken his timeless
    philosophy to heart. At Junto Global, we believe in combining the wisdom of the
    past with the latest advancements. Our platform empowers members to unlock
    their full potential and reach new heights in their personal lives, businesses,
    and communities. Our monthly masterminds brings together like-minded
    individuals from around the world to collaborate and create meaningful impact.  By the
    time he was 17 years old, Parker started his first company, became a board
    member for multiple nonprofits, and was also recruited by the President of the
    Unites States to speak at Leadership Conferences across the country. At 20
    years old he almost died in a car accident and made the choice to walk people
    out of his life that were taking advantage of him and start fresh. At 23, he
    landed his dream job working for a Fortune 100 technology company doing operations
    and strategy. After getting to know the executives there and asking the advice
    they gave their children he realized he must choose a different path. He
    started a mastermind modeled after Benjamin Franklin that overtime became his
    business and mission. Today he leads Junto Global which has served thousands of
    entrepreneurs to connect with like-minded peers and build the relationships,
    health, and business they deeply desire. He joined me this week to tell
    me more.

  • Helping De-Risk the Human Element Proactively with: Alex Risen

  • Your Website is the Conversation with Your Customers with: Matthew Stafford

    As a society can I tell you something?   We  have conversations with people about a variety

    of topics each day and we hope to spark debate, be heard, respected and valued
    and give people a large return on their personal investment into our mutual
    conversation.  In business our business  website is often the first impression people
    get of our business in today’s digital age. However, Forbes reports  21% of
    business owners report low website traffic issues with their website.
    Twenty-one percent of business owners face low website traffic, which poses a
    significant challenge for their online presence. This can impact their ability
    to attract and retain customers, as well as their revenue and overall success.  Matthew Stafford is on a mission to help
    companies and organizations sell more based on the traffic their website is
    already receiving.  He’s  an Investor and CEO of Build Grow Scale |
    Equity Owner of In-House Ecommerce Brand. Over the past three decades, Matthew Stafford
    has been entrepreneurial and successfully building several businesses across
    various industries, including Concrete, Brick and Mortar Locations, POD, and
    Software-based ventures. Matthew Stafford, the CEO and managing partner of
    Build Grow Scale and an equity owner of some in-house Ecommerce brands, has
    knowledge and expertise, enabling him to mentor thousands of store owners
    through paid Ecommerce groups and live events. His experience has also enabled
    him to help hundreds of ecommerce brands scale past the million-dollar mark -
    with many hitting the 10 million+ mark. To top it off, he's been speaking on
    stages about ecommerce optimization for the past seven years! In fact, before
    Covid-19, BGS hosted the largest yearly Ecommerce-focused event in North
    America - BGS LIVE.

    However, despite his successes in these endeavors, he did not
    truly understand why he was doing them. No matter how much success he achieved
    externally, it was never enough to satisfy him internally. By reflecting on
    this realization, he realized that true happiness comes from within rather than
    external factors.
    Through this newfound understanding of his self-worth and
    purpose on earth, he strives for greater heights by combining his technical
    knowledge with a deeper understanding of himself.  He joined me this week to tell me more.
