The Bipolar Battle hosted by Award-winning Mental Health Advocate and Published Author, John Poehler

James Lange is a CPA/Attorney and the author of ten best-selling financial books that help IRA and retirement plan owners get the most of what they’ve got. The Wall Street Journal has endorsed Jim’s tax and estate planning strategies 36 times.

Jim’s daughter, Erica, has a disability. Jim’s expertise with Roth IRA conversions and the impact of the SECURE Act on IRAs, disability planning, and legacy planning was critical in developing a long-term plan to secure his daughter’s financial future and improve his family’s quality of life.

He was quick to realize that his solution, with modifications tuned to each family’s circumstances, could benefit all parents of a child with a disability. Using his family’s journey as the base, Jim authored a new book, Retire Secure for Parents of a Child with a Disability, with two experts in the disability field. Jim and his co-authors believe the book is the best comprehensive financial resource for parents of a child with a disability.

The first is a copy of the book, Retire Secure for Parents of a Child with a Disability. The co-authors and Jim genuinely believe it is the best financial resource available for parents at any price, let alone free. It has received glowing reviews on Amazon and represents thousands of hours of work from the top experts in their respective areas of planning for parents of a child with a disability.

Jim is also hosting a 3-day virtual summit titled Financial and Life Planning Summit…for Parents of a Child with a Disability from June 18 to June 20. Tatyana McFadden, one of the top paralympic athletes in the world will be our celebrity speaker. The three co-authors and a host of other experts will be offering educational talks over the three-day period.

Diagnosed with bipolar type one at seventeen, Oliver Seligman has battled with euphoric manias, suicidal depressions and bewildering psychoses, as well as the side effects of psychiatric medication. Having spent time in mental hospitals in Norway, Australia and the U.K, he has experienced a range of approaches to bipolar and has tried many forms of alternative treatment and a variety of medications. At one point, after four years of continuous depressions, psychoses and manias, it looked as if all was lost. However, by giving up the fight and learning to accept his illness, Oliver managed to turn his life and his relationship with bipolar around.

Oliver has written a book called Befriending Bipolar: a patient's perspective. This book gives a unique and engaging perspective on living with a mental illness; describing the euphoric highs, hellish depths and brutally confusing psychoses, as well as sharing what has worked for him and what hasn't. Befriending Bipolar is available on Amazon at: https://amzn.to/35kYQKW 

For the last six years he has been well and able to enjoy a stable and fulfilling life. He now spends his time writing, giving inspirational talks on mental health and teaching people to find peace through meditation.
