Larger than life. Shock and Awe. These phrases are thrown around so much that the impact of their meaning gets lost. It doesn't mean that every expereince doesn't leave you scratching your head with Sean, but you will most likely laugh! Leveraging past experiences from the Air Force, being a stellar and standout player at Southwest Airlines Sean Allen grew a consulting business in the Monroe, Louisiana area and has parlayed that success to networking groups in and near Austin, Texas. Coming from a military upbringing, there's a bit of structure that can lead to an overrelyance on that structure, instead of being able to swim on your own, Sean Allen brings a perspective that you can laugh at, learn from and apply. Relating to people, he's been able to teach folks best practices on communication and how to rebound from communication mishaps.

Everyone of us has a struggle. There's a struggle to earn more. Struggle to kick a bad habit. Struggle to overcome objections. Struggle to move, to lift more, to be healthier - you name it, one of us has something they do too much of that they'd like to stop. Talking with someone that has perspective completely changed Scotty Gassner's outlook on life. Most wouuld simply call this therapy, however, it was an opportunity to make some reflective change that he needed in order to mature through some of his hangups. That's not a gentle, pillow filled process for those that have the thought to bear your soul to someone else in hopes that the tools they equip you with will move you along the growth curve. Yet, Scotty had courage. He perseverd through the challenges to start a successful training business and comedy career.  There's not a pair of shoes that were worth having that Scotty hasn't swooped up and owned. Part of being a phenominal dancer, hilarious comedian (They aren't all funny. He is.), and movement ex

Katelyn served her country. As a sailor, she took it upon herself to be responsible and look out for the service member to her right and left. As is true in life, someone tried to ruin that service and her life in an instant. No amount of attention or empathy could change what happened to her, but she used an encounter with another service member to fuel her focus on bettering herself. She won over depression, PTSD, and a sexual assault to earn the confidence back that someone tried to steal with their selfish and gutless action. Listen to courage as she barrels forward. Helping service members recover from PTSD to be productive citizens, become healthier with fitness, and live a happier lifestyle. Katelyn continues to work in the fitness business, hopes to open a gym dedicated to those that can be healed from the inside out, much like the transformation that has led her to be the inspriation she is today.

Personal finances continues to be a topic that many let trip them up. "Hard work" used to be something you could be proud of and with a determined, focused and gameplan to follow you can be rewarded for that work. Matt "Smart Money Guy" Sapaula (http://www.moneysmartguy.com) has never been short of the work, but for a period of time the success he expected was not there to show for. Recovering from the brink of financial catastrophe, Matt used the American tradition of "Hard Work" to separate himself from the masses and earn his independence. Many powerful lessons can be learned, but no one will do the work for you. Matt brings it and sheds some light on what the other side of the balance sheet can look like when you don't wuss out and get to work. #dontbebeta #getsomewins Matt Sapaula - http://www.moneysmartguy.com Chicago, Illinois - https://www.facebook.com/MoneySmartGuyMattSapaul
