"I recorded this interview before I'd met Tom in person or been on the Marketer's Cruise," notes Hersh Rephun of his sit-down with Tom Beal, aka "The Simplifier." "It made me an instant fan, so by the time we got to know each other on the ship, I was starstruck."
In Tom's own words: "After being born to teenagers, raised around 4 divorces & 6 marriages, going to 9 different schools by 8th grade, and raised on welfare...I was able to become a National Bicycle Champion, the #1 Honor Graduate in Marine Corps Boot Camp at Parris Island, recipient of 3 meritorious promotions in 4 years while in the Marine Corps, #1 in 5 sales organizations, Publisher of The North Carolina Home Book, and President of Kelly-Media, Inc (a Jim Kelly - NFL HOF QB company), side by side with Mike Filsaime, producing over $20 million in online results, and President of Strategic Profits for Rich Schefren for 2.5 years. I assist you in understanding that it doesn't matter where you came from or where you may be right now; there are steps you can take TODAY which can lead you to fulfilling your dreams, personally & professionally. Make Today Great!" - Tom Beal
