Corey started his career in 2005 when he opened his first Chiropractic clinic with his now wife, Vivian.

Brian D. Ridgway
I’m not a healer, a teacher, or a guru.
I’m just a “reminder”, here to remind you of what you already – and always – know.
Maybe, like me, you’ve spent a ton of money, time and energy on self-help, personal development work, and “spiritual” approaches, hoping to finally “find” your happiness, freedom, power and peace. Perhaps you’ve had some positive results, but the deep scars and pains remain.
Maybe, like me, you have spent a lot of time, energy and money on diving into the “deep stuff” and, finding yourself still stuck, you wonder if there might be something wrong with you – that maybe you are “broken” in some way.
Let Me Promise You This Right Now:
You Are NOT Broken.
And You ARE Creating it All.
If you have felt confused, unclear, frustrated or disappointed in how to actually do this, I want you to know that I can relate and I understand.
My journey into self-work started at a very young age. As a child, I heard about religion and the hope it offered for happiness. I was told that if I believed a certain way, and if I did x, y and z, life would get better. I listened, followed and did what “they” said. Life didn’t get better.
The Illusion of Problems
In my sales and marketing career, I experienced what most people would call incredible business success. Well, at least “externally”.
I created some very smart, innovative ideas, and I brought them to businesses ranging from “mom-and-pops”, all the way up to multibillion-dollar corporations. I was able to generate about $161 million in total business revenues, in 70+ different industries, including $11 million that I did in personal sales. (All of that is documented.)
But in my personal life, I was still totally stuck.
I needed help, and was near-fanatical about pursuing any system or life-approach that offered hope of relief. My personal self-help focus was not a fun pursuit, a distraction or a luxury for me. It was a life or death necessity.

My failures in life were compounded by the fact that I couldn’t even make self-help work!
I often thought, “That stuff seems to work for everybody else, but there is something SO deeply flawed in me, that I can’t even get self-help right!” The painful questions, “What is wrong with me? Am I so fucked up that even self-help can’t help me?”, were always buzzing in my mind. And my “successes” in specific areas of life actually caused me to feel worse, because I felt like a superficial fraud on top of it all.
After $300,000 of financial investment, tens of thousands of hours of study and dedication, and over 30 years of self-help junkie-dom, I ended up homeless, desperate, and suicidal
After 30 years of near-fanatical devotion to my self-help junkie lifestyle, my life was worse than ever.
In my late teens, I discovered self-help and personal development. Over the next 30 years, I invested well over $300,000 on any and every self-help book, seminar, course, program or tool that promised a miracle – or that even just offered to help me experience a life that worked. For many years, I literally devoted 20%-60% of my income into this pursuit.
I no longer trusted self-help to solve my problems — no longer believed the promises. But I literally could not see how to stop my self-help efforts.
This led me to the next level of more “spiritually-focused” work. With desperation driving me to overcome my skepticism, I dove into every type of spiritual study, meditation approach, Law of Attraction training, coaching,

Co-Founder and CEO of Fearless Social, Dr. Ben Adkins built his social media expertise in an unexpected way.
In 2007, Dr. Ben graduated from Logan College of Chiropractic and opened a practice in the small town of Poplar Bluff, MO. Not knowing very many people in this small town, he turned to Facebook to attract new clients.

February 22, 2017 Scott Whitaker
Membership Expert, Scott Whitaker Consulting
The results you are getting from your membership and subscription program are a direct correlation of the strategies and systems you have in place. You’re currently getting what your program is built for.
Scott Whitaker can help you implement the “Seven Systems of a Growing Membership Business.” These seven systems are already at work in your business, whether you realize it or not. Every membership and subscription business has:
1. Content (what, when and how you deliver your membership to members)
2. Assimilation (getting new members to become fully-engaged in your program)
3. Marketing (getting prospects and turning them into members)
4. Retention (keeping members for the long-haul)
5. Ascension (getting members to upgrade their membership)
6. Strategy (constantly evaluating and improving your membership business)
7. Leadership (growing your personal leadership so that your business will grow)
Every activity in your membership and subscription business involves one of these seven systems.
Scott’s strategic mind and use of these seven systems have been growing and building membership businesses regardless of their niche. He is the founder of Scott Whitaker Consulting where he coaches membership business owners on how to get new members, reduce churn and increase profits.
He is the author of “Why People Quit Your Membership Program & What You Can Do About It” and an online course “Seven Systems of a Growing Membership Business.”
Scott has led membership organizations in both non-profit and for profit companies since 1997. He’s noted for having built the largest for profit coaching network for pastors of churches; growing from just 72 pastors a year to over 3,000 pastors a year.
Scott and his wife Kelly have been married for over 20 years and have two daughters. They enjoy traveling and experiencing local cuisine.
