Ari has created a unique and different sales approach based on trust and integrity called UNLOCK THE GAME -- designed so the dreaded act of "chasing" and the painful experience of rejection is eliminated forever - a feat never thought possible, until now. It is specifically for business owners, consultants and sales professionals, who struggle with converting potential clients into paid clients. Many focus on growing their networks, having more conversations ("numbers game"), but converting them into paying clients, remains an elusive mystery.

Have you ever been in a job that you loved and hated at the same time? The feeling that every day you were doing your best to meet the approval of those who wrote your paycheck, but never really feeling that it was secure enough to depend on? That’s the story of Brook Borup, CEO of My Clone Solution and creator of "In the Trenches MBA" on Youtube. While the systems, processes and productivity solutions of corporate America were an amazing foundation, they were often lacking in flexibility and even more lacking in common sense that should have guided the decisions being handed down manager to manager. After 15 years supporting all levels of management from Sales Managers to CEO’s, enough was enough. Enough of the rules that made no sense, beating heads against the wall when change could not be effected; enough of being taken for granted by the people that were essentially controlling life in all aspects, living paycheck to paycheck at their beck and call. Brook’s understanding of both the entrepreneurial spirit, but also the struggles that come along with being a small business owner are what make her so great at helping those that chose the life of an entrepreneur. Brook understands that when you work with small business owners the stakes are higher because every penny they spend on your product or service could be a child’s dance lessons, food on the table, advertising for more business or the family vacation they have not had in five years. Delegation is a skill that is learned from necessity and loved by all who can learn it. Once you get the hang of it, it is then about managing the process, not doing it. What you don’t know can hurt you… Brook is impassioned to effect positive change to the struggling entrepreneur.

I'm Christina Daves, serial entrepreneur, award-winning inventor, and the founder of CastMedic Designs. I came up with the idea after a broken foot left me in an awful walking medical boot, the day before I was headed to New York City, Fashion Capital of the World. Having previously owned an upscale boutique, I thought I would be able to find something... anything to make the boot look somewhat fashion-forward. Realizing there was nothing available, I started designing cuffs and accessories to take the boot from a casual affair to the office to formal events with styles for both children and adults. These products allow the injured to heal in style. An injury shouldn’t get in the way of looking and healing your best and my mission is to turn recovery into a fabulous fashion experience by allowing the injured to experience The Healing Power of Fashion® With no budget in CastMedic for publicity, I taught myself everything I could about PR and in less than one year appeared in over 50 media outlets (including national and local television, national magazines and newspapers, and syndicated radio). I figured out a formula the media responds to, so I launched PR for Anyone® to help small business owners, entrepreneurs, and authors learn how to easily and effectively generate their own publicity. I have also written the bestselling book, PR for Anyone™ 100+ Affordable Ways To Easily Create Buzz for your Business with over 100 tips to gain free media exposure.

Joe DiSanto spent his childhood riding BMX bikes, breakdancing, and memorizing 80’s movies, but the carefree days of youth wouldn’t last long. By 13 he was working as a busboy, helping his recently divorced mom, and picking up some of his own tab. A valuable lesson was learned: If you don’t deal with your money, your money will deal with you. From that point on, he made it his mission to learn everything he could about making smart money moves. It paid off. By age 30, Joe had wiped out $70k in student loans, bought his first house, and started a post-production company in Los Angeles. Over the next decade, the company grew to 30+ employees with over 5 million in annual revenue, while producing two critically-acclaimed documentaries and an Emmy-winning HBO series. During this time, he and his wife also transacted on 15 residential and commercial real estate properties. But nothing had more life-changing impact than the birth of their son. After a successful 19-year run in L.A., the couple decided to slow down and invest in their new family. They cashed out of the business and bought into small-town life on the Florida coast. Having semi-retired at age 43, Joe’s efforts are now focused on his educational blog Play Louder, where he shares a lifetime of fiscal know-how to help individuals and business owners navigate their finances, increase their net worth, and plan better for their future.

Lightbulb moments are my favorite thing. When my clients finally SEE what the numbers mean, it’s like watching one of those videos where colorblind people put on those special glasses and can see color for the first time. It’s magical! Those magical moments have appeared in many parts of my life, and that’s how I know I’m on the path God designed for me. Things that start as devastating disasters turn into something beautiful. It’s these transformations that make me believe all things are possible. But since I’m from the accounting world, I guess I should talk about credentials and stuff. I earned my Masters of Professional Accountancy after falling in love with how numbers became so tidy within accounting systems. For me it just clicked. But what I discovered when translating financial information to others is that they couldn’t see the picture in my head that the numbers created. So I needed to find ways to paint that picture for them, and Getting Your Money Right was born. On the personal side, I adore my family, relish the short garden season (get it? “relish”?), and play a lot of bridge. I’m not as old as my hobbies and hair would make you think.

Molly Grubb is a dynasty builder. After seeing her family’s business torn away from her parents, watching them lose their identity and then walking away with almost nothing, Molly decided she wasn’t going to let that happen to other entrepreneurs and family business owners. Now Molly helps build, protect and maintain a family business owner’s dynasty. She is one of only 200 Certified Business Exit Consultants, and less than 7% of advisors that utilize all of the fundamentals of wealth management. We all know owning a business has value and the average business owner has the majority of their net worth tied to their business. With only 20% of businesses actually selling in the open market this makes it extremely difficult for the average owner to ever realize their wealth they built in their business, personally. In fact, 90 % of businesses fail within the first 10 years. Molly is here to help us beat those numbers and build our dynasties.

He's currently looking for partners to help him achieve this goal and that's why he agreed to mentor few selected individuals who get the opportunity to help him find deals and then watch him (in every step in the process — they're with him on every call, cc'd in emails and meetings if and when they have with business owners) as he negotiate, structure, finance, run and grow those businesses. Not just that but he gives his students/partners at least 25% in each deal for helping him while they learn the process of buying and investing in businesses even if they got no personal capital to invest. He got that idea from the TV show ‘The Partner’ with Marcus Lemonis.

At different times, she has utilized her marketing and creative skills in the fields of real estate, medical, pharmaceuticals, financial services, office products, human resources & organizational development, high-end landscaping & nursery, not-for-profit entities, a major packing & rubber company, mortgage companies, publishing, the independent film industry, communications, software, coaches and major financial institutions, plus many others.

Not only did she retain the agency’s key client, she significantly expanded and diversified the agency’s services and client base, turning the small design firm into a full-service marketing, advertising and communications agency that offered branding and even public relations. She successfully ran the agency for four years, with 11 employees, before closing the company to relocate briefly to Sarasota, and then to Atlanta, GA where she opened a similar company, running it for 3 years, and then transferring it when she and her husband relocated permanently to Orlando, FL where they have lived since 2010.

What started as a vision to owning her business, started 10 years ago when Petra created her first business, Hippie’s Creations. And because Petra is very much a DIY person, she learned how to set up a blog and manage her social media and emerged was her geeky side and created her second business, Unusual Bits.

Hey there, I'm Summer Davies. I help burgeoning leaders develop the mindset and tactical skills they need to lead with impact, confidence, empowerment and love what they do. For over 15 years I have been an award-winning leadership development expert focused on cultivated thriving work environments where people feel equipped, capable, valued, and connected. It has been my privilege to coach, teach, and study leaders around the world and my unique depth and breadth of experience has given me an unending passion for helping managers bring to life the leader they want to be, and LOVE leading. Leadership development was never my planned path. I grew up in a household that played fast and loose with the poverty line for many years. Through the crazy ride of being young in Boulder Colorado in the 90’s I found a deep love for horses which changed my life. It was always my intention to work in the horse industry, but life had other plans. Unexpedly I fell into a leadership role early in my career. Being completely unqualified for that role, my trial-by-fire ignited a passion for helping others learn to lead skillfully and effectively. Outside of my work I remain a lifelong equestrian, beekeeper and a sub-par snowboarder. I currently live in Parker, Colorado with my husband and two beautiful daughters. As a family we love to travel and explore local breweries, and we are die hard food truck junkies.

While most well-known for building a multi-million dollar business with his childhood friends, it is Tony’s mission in life is to build a community where struggling entrepreneurs know they can achieve anything they want despite their past. Tony has always known how to make money. He started his first business – the neighborhood baseball card trading post – out of his mom’s garage at the age of 14. By the time he was 18, he had held 16 jobs and was only fired once – for giving his brother an ice cream cone. In 1996, Tony launched his first online business in Silicon Valley, a Web traffic and marketing company, which eventually turned into his first supplement company. In 2001, he went on to build his second supplement company, ShipOffers, with two of his childhood best friends, Doug Roberts and Gil Gerstein. Fifteen years later, ShipOffers is an eight-figure business that has been an INC 5000 Company for the past three years in a row. The journey to self-fulfillment wasn’t easy for Tony. He almost lost it all in 2008 after years of struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. Facing the near destruction of his marriage and the sad realization that he was negatively affecting his children’s lives, Tony made the decision that year to get sober, and he has stayed sober ever since. As he got clean, he also became clear about his vision to help others find their passion and achieve more. With this in mind, Tony launched his podcast, Entrepreneur Unplugged, in 2015, bringing together his loves for business, radio and life.
