Finding Purpose in Life's Truths

Amy Lyle has turned rejection from a Hollywood attorney into comedy gold. As an author, she is a bestseller on Amazon. She's been featured on NPR, LA Talk Radio and is a frequent guest on the popular Atlanta morning show, Atlanta and Company. She specializes in talking about how you should embrace your failures and follow your passion at any age.

Two things happened around 2008; Amy got remarried to a man with three teenagers and she was laid off. Amy used the opportunity to pursue a passion, writing. She started writing plays for a giant non-profit. Then, Amy had the bug to write a screenplay, then a book. The book, a funny memoir, is about many failures that most people can relate to: struggles with relationships, finding work you love, and fitting in. When people, especially women, starting writing me about how they too often feel like a failure, trying to be a good wife, mother, employee, and friend, and how the book gave them a break from the real world and made them feel more normal, Amy knew she was on to something. They started sharing their own funny failures with her via social media, and Amy hopes it becomes a movement. Being able to laugh at yourself and being an encouragement to others makes life a little easier.

Taking a Leap of Faith in Your Industry

Paul Dixon started in the publishing industry with his cousin, and together they created a company to publish a book series featuring their grandfather titled The Adventures of Papa Lemon’s Little Wanderers. Since starting, seven Papa Lemon books have been published.

Paul worked in the toy and children's book business since 1994. He never intended to work in these businesses. In 2004, it became clear to Paul that he was supposed to play a key role in making the Papa Lemon book business a success. Paul just didn't realize how many twists and turns there would be in this journey, which culminated with a move to LA in October 2016, after living his entire life in Minnesota.

Choosing Love Over Fear

Michele PW (Pariza Wacek) is the best-selling author of the Love-Based Business series of books that share how to sell more with love and build a solid, profitable business on a foundation of love. In addition, she owns a copywriting and marketing company along with writing and publishing fiction.

Michele was a copywriter for years. Her friends told her that she should teach a different way of writing copy because everyone hated the traditional way. Michele said hell no, there was plenty of great copy books and teachers out there — she didn’t need to add to the clutter. Then in 2014, her friend came out with love-based marketing, Michele looked at it and thought love-based copy. What’s the opposite? Well, that’s fear-based. And the philosophy downloaded into her.

Breaking Through Stereotypes and Owning Your Journey

Lea Bayles is a speaker, author, wellness and leadership coach, and host of the We Are More Radio Show podcast. Recovering from an immune system collapse led Lea on a journey of self-healing and into a career in holistic wellness.

Turning 50 was a wonderful surprise for Lea! For years, she had dreaded turning 50 because she bought into negative cultural stereotypes about aging. And, truth be told, the year Lea was 49 was full of heartbreak, pain, upheaval, and turmoil. But shortly afterwards, she began feeling a powerful bubbling up of creative vitality, freedom, and inner strength. Lea's own experiences and those of her clients and friends convinced Lea that in the second half of life, people are biologically wired, not for diminishment, but for expansion and increased impact and fulfillment. People are invited to expand more fully than ever before into who they really are.
