My name is Marcos Correa, and I’m 33 years old from Central Virginia. I am a husband, father of 3, and a full-time engineer of 13 years in the telecom industry. On the side, I currently own and operate 3 small businesses, all in varying fields: bakery (4yrs), carpentry (2yrs), and business coaching/consulting (2yrs). With a passion and intuition for growing small businesses through my knowledge and expertise, I’ve assisted various small businesses in developing growth strategies through unconventional methods customized to their business goals.

                 The bakery, “Loafin’ Around Breads, LLC”, was built out of necessity. During a time of a major life transition, the goal initially was to “just make ends meet”. As the name suggests, this is a specialty niche bakery focused on a variety of artisan breads. Because the cost of supplies needed was low, I was able to begin selling almost immediately to friends and family to get a small sample size for quality. This grew exponentially as they shared with their friends and family.  My wife and I decided to officially launch this publicly at various events and venues in the Virginia region. Since then, we have expanded our line to nearly 2 dozen varieties and have even branched out to condiments such as jams, butters, and spices.

                 My carpentry shop, Bored Boards, LLC, started as a nod to my childhood, where I spent many summers with my grandfather in a wood shop. It was there that I learned the meaning of hard work and dedication, along with countless other life lessons. While expecting our first child, my wife and I needed nursery items such as a table and a matching wooden bookshelf. After some exploring on Pinterest (yes, guys can use Pinterest, too), I found some items that I felt were simple enough to try out. We shared these items on social media and immediately, our friends and family wanted their own items made. Unexpected growth and popularity with our wooden crate items far surpassed our expectations and in the past 2 years, we have furnished hundreds of homes and businesses throughout Virginia.

                 With these successes, and the relationships built within my network through the past 4 years, many business owners began approaching me looking for consulting and advice in growing their own businesses. This mostly began as just friendly favors to businesses who helped me grow my own. As reputation and clients began growing, I decided to begin scaling this service into an actual service based business, “Regen Business Solutions, LLC”. As the slogan suggests, my focus is “Business Growth, Reimagined”. Here, I offer my consulting/coaching services to various small businesses locally and across the country through Upwork. My primary focus, when working with business owners, is to develop creative growth and marketing strategies that focuses on more engagement within the community. This helps to provide a fresh perspective for business owners to scale their businesses more organically using less marketing dollars.

The statistics companies face are very stark with 80% of employees unhappy in the workplace, resulting in $550 billion a year in lost productivity resulting in much higher internal costs, and if not fixed, the results could be fatal.

The reason?

Companies seem to treat their employees as numbers where transactional relationships and a heavy focus on short term results engulf the corporate culture.

It comes as no surprise to anyone when such a corporate culture has employees feeling disengaged and demotivated in the workplace, negatively affecting the overall productivity with downstream effects being higher turnover as valuable employees look elsewhere to find companies who actually care for their employees.

If this is not fixed quickly, this starts to put a tremendous squeeze on profits, putting the company on a downward spiral, and it could end up becoming a part of the 99% that are no longer around by year five.

The good news is that this can be prevented by using intuitive resonance to establishing trusted professional relationships between management and its employees, creating a tight-knit corporate culture that has employees intrinsically motivated to perform at their highest level.

The cumulative effect translates to an immediate increase in productivity with longer-term effects being lower turnover costs, higher profits and a boost to the corporate reputation in the marketplace.

After using intuitive resonance to grow several entrepreneurial ventures to over $20 million, I began teaching other companies how to use it to provide an uplift in productivity, elevating their business success to a whole new level.

When wondering why so many people put themselves through incredible pain and hardship by ignoring their intuition, Sunil spent thousands of hours in research and interviewed over 1,000 people who shared deeply personal stories on how ignoring intuition impacted their lives, to discover that intuition is incredibly complex, and if not properly understood, people would ignore the unique intuitive signals their intuition was sending them, making bad decisions that sent them on a path that that they regretted being on.

Sunil created the Intuitionology project with the sole mission of educating people in deciphering how complex their intuition really is so that they are able to recognize the subtlest of unique intuitive signals so that they are able to make the right decision at the right time in any situation they find themselves in and start living a life full of happiness and success.

Sunil has taken this message on the road as an international speaker, wowing tens of thousands of audience members, inspiring them with practical advice, combined with personal anecdotes and impactful stories from interviewees, to show how to recognize the signals intuition is sending them that helps them overcome failure and accelerate their success in every area of their lives, topics from his two extremely popular books, Fail Fast. Succeed Faster. and GUT!, which have each sold thousands of copies worldwide.

An intuitive business coach, spiritual coach, spiritual medium, intuitive life healer, speaker, author, life & death expert, and bereavement guy, Seth’s vision is to Inspire the World, One by One, to Smile From The Inside. He has a great deal to say, the basis of which is Know who you are, Embrace who you are, and Be who you are – no matter what the circumstance or what your past – and you can heal from anything.

By the time he was thirty-two years old, Seth has already cheated death three times, narrowly escaped two kidnappings, and lost five good friends within a very brief period of time. Being ill-prepared for these events, he searched everywhere to find a resource that would help him, to no avail. So, instead, he developed the S.M.I.L.E. method for healing and wrote the first book in a series, “How I Learned To Smile From The Inside,” a book on healing and overcoming trauma. He thought if these concepts could work for him, then they might just work for someone else.

Over the past few years, Seth has been developing his psychic mediumship and intuitive healer. It has been the most rewarding work he has ever done. He believes this gift is a major part of his divine purpose here on Earth. Every day is a brand new adventure. Whether it’s a drive-by reading or a sit down one-on-one, he is honored, blessed, and ready to take this journey with all his might and soul.

An Intuitive Business Coach and Advisor during the day, a medium by night, Seth is currently working on two more books about Grief and Mediumship, where one ends and the other begins. Additionally, Seth has been facilitating bereavement workshops for the American Widow Project as well as developing metaphysical content for television, podcasts, and online platforms.

Seth carries within him a unique charisma. He is a New England/NYC bred gay boy with a hell of a lot to say, an incredible amount of passion, and an amazing gift.

Right now, Seth offers Intuitive Business Coaching and Spiritual Coaching, designed to help people break free and heal from their past, re-engage in their present, so they can build a better legacy and a more fantastic life. Additionally, Seth is also offering spiritual guidance/life guidance to a select few individuals to help them through the every day. Inquire within.

Seth is now available for speaking engagements for topics such as “Intuitive Leadership,” “How to Heal from Anything,” and “There Are No Rules in Bereavement!” Lastly, Seth is aspiring to become the Life & Death Expert, as he explores death in workshops/speakings from all sides.

“It really comes down to who has more discipline; you or time.”

“Our most successful businesses that were started and continue to thrive for close to 20 years now, were all “mistakes” turned into businesses.”

“Don’t listen to your parents, friends or colleagues. If you have a dream or an idea that you want to pursue, then make it happen. Their approval or non-approval is irrelevant. It’s usually their own fear that they are projecting upon you, so don’t let your parents’ handicaps be yours. You owe it yourself to live the best possible life.”
