Mark Metry Show

Originally from Stockholm, Sweden, Andres grew up in gloomy weather, unhappy, and with no vision for his future. After the sudden death of his grandfather who left him $2000 as an inheritance, Andres decided to find a warmer climate; taking his grandfather’s death as a sign to start living before it was too late.

At the recommendation of the booking agent, he bought a one-way ticket to Thailand. Down to his last $100, with no contacts, jobs, or knowledge of Thai language and too embarrassed to ask his family for help, he slept his life away on the beach strip of Phuket.

Desperate, he asked a friend to borrow money. The response was dim: “I won’t give you any money, but I’ll give you a book that might help you.”

Both hungry and angry from the response, Andres belligerently read the book on an empty stomach. It was called The Secret: The Law of Attraction. The next day he set out to disprove the “law of attraction” that he had read about. The skeptic went on to become a true believer and changed his life forever.

With his new “attraction” mindset, Andres landed a job as a marketing executive handing out brochures for a real estate developer. Within 1 year, he was promoted to a sales agent, then sales manager, and finally sales director. By year 3, he had excelled in real estate sales and had found several property investors who believed in his vision and ambitions. This led to his first investor funded property development.

Seeking an exotic refuge from the stresses of modern life, serial entrepreneur, and real-estate guru Andres Pira has chosen to reside in the tropical paradise of Phuket, Thailand. Lines of coconut trees, beautiful beaches, and the impeccable Thai hospitality had proven too good to resist. And within the land of smiles, the story of a homeless to billionaire unfolds. The founder of 20 companies, with more than 250 employees and growing, this 36-year-old billionaire now humbly offers advice to those who want to learn from his journey. Andres Pira and his group of companies is worth approximately 1.8 billion. His serial businessman spirit has expanded his investment ventures into a gym, law office, a gas station, several coffee shops, and more.

In June 2017, Phuket-based Blue Horizon Developments, Andres company, was named ‘Top Thai Property Developer’ and ‘New Hotel Construction & Design’ by Asia Pacific Property Awards 2017-2018. In July 2017, at its inaugural awards ceremony, Thailand Property and Dot Property Group presented Blue Horizon Developments with 3 awards: Best Developer, Best Mixed-Use Development, and Best Mid-range Condo Development Phuket for their $850 million Grand Himalai Project. Blue Horizon’s portfolio also includes the award-winning The Beach Front, Skylight Villas, Signature Villas, and the Himalai Oceanfront Condominium.

Homeless to Billionaire details how this street-wise, homeless person became a billionaire by simply using the techniques and mind set of the wealthiest people on earth. Today, Andres is on a mission to bring the biggest mentors in mindset to the masses with his new live events company – Success Events.

“I’ve committed myself to a journey of success using self-help disciplines. Everybody loves rags to riches inspirational stories. I’m not any different from you as an individual. If someone else can do it, it means you can too. What do you possibly have to lose when you’re only changing the way you see, want, or think about things?” Andres Pira

The debut of Homeless to Billionaire – The 18 Principles of Wealth Attraction and creating unlimited opportunity gives practical insights on tackling success and failures, giving freely to activate positive vibrations, why passion and joy are key successes to life and work, learning to be a calculated risk taker, and how to convert problems into opportunities. Stay tuned in 2019.

Life-Changing Story:
In June 1990, while free rock climbing, Dov Baron fell approximately 120 feet and landed on his face. The impact shattered most of the bone structure of his face, disintegrating some of his upper jaw and fracturing his lower jaw in four places. After nine reconstructive surgeries, no external evidence remains of the damage; however, this experience was life-changing.

Before the fall, Dov had spent years building a reputation as a dynamic speaker and teacher in the field of personal and professional development, but it wasn’t until years after the fall that he began to see the beauty and elegance of what had really happened – the return to his own CORE –what he calls his ‘Authentic Self’.

Retired United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills of the 82nd Airborne is a recalibrated warrior, motivational speaker, actor, author and an advocate for veterans and amputees. Travis’s New York Times bestselling memoir, Tough as They Come, is currently available on sale in bookstores everywhere. Despite losing portions of both arms and legs from an IED while on active duty in Afghanistan, Travis continues to overcome life’s challenges, breaking physical barriers and defying odds. Travis lives by his motto:

On April 10, 2012, United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills of the 82nd Airborne was critically injured on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan by an IED (improvised explosive device) while on patrol, losing portions of both legs and both arms. He is one of only five quadruple amputees from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to survive his injuries.

Thanks to his amazing strength, courage, an incredible will to live, the heroic actions of the men in his unit, the prayers of thousands, and all the healthcare providers at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, near Washington D.C., Travis remains on the road to recovery. Every day is a battle, but Travis continues to astound friends and family alike with his progress and with his amazing spirit.

In September 2013, Travis and his wife Kelsey founded the Travis Mills Foundation, a nonprofit organization, formed to benefit and assist post 9/11 veterans who have been injured in active duty or as a result of their service to our nation. The veteran and their families receive an all-inclusive, all-expenses paid, barrier-free vacation to Maine where they participate in adaptive activities, bond with other veteran families, and enjoy much-needed rest and relaxation in Maine’s great outdoors.

The Travis Mills Group LLC was started shortly after, where Travis consults with and speaks to companies and organizations nationwide inspiring all to overcome life’s challenges and adversity.

Travis’s story has been featured on local and national news including Fox News’ Happening Now with Jenna Lee, The O’Reilly Factor with Bill O’Reilly, CNN with Barbara Starr, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Thousands of soldiers die each year to defend their country. United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills was sure that he would become another statistic when, during his third tour of duty in Afghanistan, he was caught in an IED blast, four days before his twenty-fifth birthday. Against all odds, he lived, but at a severe cost—Travis became one of only five soldiers from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to survive a quadruple amputation.

Suddenly forced to reconcile with the fact that he no longer had arms or legs, Travis was faced with a future drastically different from the one he had imagined for himself. He would never again be able to lead his squad, hold his wife’s hand, or pick up his infant daughter.

Travis struggled through the painful and anxious days of rehabilitation so that he could regain the strength to live his life to the fullest. With enormous willpower and endurance, the unconditional love of his family, and a generous amount of faith, Travis shocked everyone with his remarkable recovery. Even without limbs, he still swims, dances with his wife, rides mountain bikes, and drives his daughter to school.

Travis inspires thousands every day with his remarkable journey. He doesn’t want to be thought of as wounded.

Dr. Nicole LePera is a Holistic Psychologist who believes that mental wellness is for everyone. She evolved her more traditional training from Cornell University and The New School to one that acknowledges the connection between the mind and body.

Dr. LePera views mental and physical struggles from a whole person perspective and works to identify the underlying physical and emotional causes. She understands that balance in an integral part of wellness and empowers individuals to heal themselves, supporting them on their wellness journeys.

Dr. LePera founded the Mindful Healing Center in Center City Philadelphia where she works with individuals, couples, and families taking gut health, sleep, movement, cellular health, belief, and mindfulness into treatment.

Holistic Psychology is a relatively new school of psychological thought that views the person as a whole and indivisible entity, where it is impossible to treat the mind and behavior, without taking the client's physical health, lifestyle, environment, relationships, etc. into consideration and dealing appropriately with all of these facets.

This school of therapy differs from more traditional therapy methods in that it concentrates on the client's relationships and interactions with their environment and how they express these relationships through their feeling, thinking and being. This style of therapy attempts to explore and transform consciousness, rather than merely changing thought patterns or behaviors.
