Tarun Verma earned his doctor of pharmacy in 2012 and began working in the corporate world, only to burn out several years later. He began buying up businesses with passive income like car washes and storage facilities. He later used his experience as a compounding pharmacist to formulate his own brand of sports injury recovery cream, starting a company called Truth Botanicals, which is currently on amazon.com and walmart.com with its flagship product Deep Knee.

After graduating from pharmacy school, Tarun began using his expendable income to make films. His films gained exposure at film festivals and won awards, which boosted his confidence to experiment with the stories he wanted to tell. His business acumen allowed him to attract investors on his terms and create an environment that’s conducive to making a great marketable product with a good return for my investors.

Conception is the by-product of his time in healthcare and as a filmmaker. The film is about an infertile couple who have to undergo IVF to have a baby. It’s funny, sad, and ultimately a very heartbreaking film.

This is one podcast you don’t want to miss! At a very young age, Author Michael Gagliardi survived the terror of abuse by his demon-possessed mother and now speaks out as a Christian through his books and keynote speeches to give hope to others in similar situations. His mother terrorized the family, the neighbors, and authorities in a small northern town in Ontario Canada from the mid 70’s to the mid 80’s.

About Michael:

Born in a borough of Toronto Ontario Canada called Etobicoke, a predominately Italian Community in 1968. His family moved to a small town in northern Ontario called Meaford on Nottawasaga Bay a finger bay of the greater Georgian Bay. There he attended Kindergarten through 12th grade in the town of 4500. He found his love for music at age 13, and in the next 6 years left his country and traveled to California. He found himself homeless and living under The Santa Monica Pier, a place that beckoned him from watching Three’s Company in a pre-internet world. He quickly became a constant on the famous Sunset Strip in the late 80’s headlining infamous clubs such as Gazzarri’s, The Roxy Theatre, and The Whiskey A-Go-Go with his own band.

Married at the early age of 19, he and his wife had 2 daughters, and eventually 5 grandchildren and are still married going on 33 years. Michael is a Latin Flamenco and Smooth Jazz Guitarist who plays countless events for Casinos, Private Clients, and Theatre Concerts mostly in the Ca, AZ, and Nevada regions of the United States but has played internationally as far away as Israel.

Michael currently has settled down in The Coachella Valley as a resident for the past 26 years, and his children live in the area as well. He continues to play music and also has added speaker to his list of occupations, speaking on the paranormal, demonology, and Biblical discoveries. He looks forward to educating people on the reality of a spiritual world and its inhabitants, the origins, function and end game as they pertain to human existence. Michael has a certificate in Eschatology from the Henry Morris Institute and is a worship leader in his church for many years.

Michael loves the outdoors and is an avid treasure hunter, small-time archeologist and traveler visiting various states examining their history, natural resources, and folklore. He spends a portion of each year recording an album that is mostly instrumental for the general public. Michael and his wife spend a significant amount of time each week with his immediate family for dinners and events watching and teaching their grandchildren, who are a joy in their life.

Joan Sullivan Garrett is the Founder and Chairman of MedAire, the world’s largest integrated aviation and maritime provider of medical, travel, and safety services.

Her company is your safety net — a traveler’s best friend. You may not know that when you are 36,000 feet in the air or the middle of an ocean, MedAire is a phone call away. Suppose you have a heart attack or some other type of medical emergency while traveling. In that case, Joan’s company provides ground-based emergency physicians who talk crews through the crisis — in real-time, instantaneously, and globally. For instance, whether you are flying over Europe or voyaging toward the Mediterranean, MedAire is there… and everywhere… due to the miracle of telemedicine.

So, how did a flight nurse build the world’s first global emergency response center? 

As a flight nurse, all Joan wanted to do was save lives. She never set out to be an entrepreneur. Yet, during a rescue mission in 1984, the loss of a young patient compelled her to — somehow, someway — improve remote emergency medicine. What followed was Joan’s pioneering of telemedicine, which some call aeromedicine, through her startup. Only satellite communications and teletype existed in those days, and it wasn’t easy to provide a worldwide, lifesaving service. But nearly forty years later, MedAire remains the gold standard for onboard medical emergencies around the world, saving untold lives.

Joan has written her autobiography, One Life Lost, Millions Gained, available on Amazon. It’s much more than a book on business. It captures Joan’s journey through a difficult childhood, her Irish roots, her flight nursing escapades, and the challenges of single motherhood while building her company, not to mention the glass ceiling of the 1980s of which she rose above. She shares some jaw-dropping adventures along the way. Visit her website to learn more.

Join Scott Pitney as he interviews special guest, Eric Eidsness, author of the upcoming book, Gorilla in The Closet: Why the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is becoming obsolete and its future after Trump, an early history of the EPA and his memoir. You can learn more at www.gorillainthecloset.com. This book explains why EPA should be abolished in its current form and replaced through legislation by a truly independent commission run by professionals who serve a term of 10 years, like the FBI’s top people.

Eric obtained his engineering degree Vanderbilt University 1967, was drafted out of the Peace Corps and served as a commissioned officer in United States Navy in the Riverine forces of Vietnam 1968-69 with a following service at Naval Station Treasure Island. He joined the Water Quality Administration in Atlanta in fall of 1970 which became the core of the newly formed EPA on December 2, 1970. Eric wrote EPA’s first environmental impact statement but left in 1973 owning to disenchantment over lack of management controls as to who speaks for EPA. He returned a decade later as a Ronald Reagan-Appointed Assistant Administrator for Water where he had policy, budget and management sway over three laws, the Federal Clean Water Act, the Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act. He continued his service during the controversial Sewergate era (1981-1983), where the coordinated environmental lobby accused them of backing away from environmental laws as a means of weakening the President for the 1984 presidential election. He then returned to the private sector in the environmental engineering and construction industry and ran for Congress on the Reform Party Ticket, earning 11.3% of the vote. Eric started his book in 2010, and it will be published this fall.
