the ARTrepreneur

Image
Evelyne Brink is a success coach with a background in singing, acting and comedy from London. She is the author of " the ARTrepreneur. Financial Success for Artistic Souls ". We have conducted and interview with her: How and why did you become an ARTrepreneur? When I grew up I wanted to be an actress. Then I discovered singing. At the same time I’ve always loved making stuff and seeing an opportunity to sell it. I made hair clips from coke cans and empty ink cartridges and got them into the shops. They went like hot cakes on the artist market! Then I found out that being an artist often means to struggle financially. I didn’t like the sound of that at all. My dad said only 2% of actors make a good living. I replied: then I’ll be in those 2%! As simple as that sounded, it wasn’t that easy. But there must be a way to make a living doing what you love!?! So I set out to find out how that could be achieved without selling out. That was my requirement. I was not goin...

Positive Living Television

Aida Memisevic’s personal Executive Power-Coaching service supports entrepreneurs and top talent executives in leveraging their strengths, creating new performance tools, and optimizing their leadership abilities. We have conducted an interview with her: How did you land yourself into this field and what do you like most about your specialty? When I was in my early twenties I heard this amazing spoken word cassette tape recording by the famous radio voice Earl Nightengale. It was a message recording about an important success principle in life, called "the Strangest Secret", based on the idea that we become what we think about. It was a powerful message of possibility to create whatever you want in your life, and it started my journey of discovery into the personal development industry. What has helped you to create an exceptional result? I use many of the ideas I have learned from my studies over the years, and I continue to learn and "play...

The Last Alignment: Book One

Image
Nathaniel Stewart is the indie author behind a novel entitled, " The Last Alignment: Book One " which was published back on July 31st, 2012. His piece is the first of a Young Adult/Fantasy series about the intertwined lives of five teenagers and is currently only available as an ebook at all major ebook retailers. We have conducted a short interview with him: What inspired you to write about teens? I initially came up with the idea for The Last Alignment Series when I was fifteen, so I daresay that that is the underlying reason as to why my main characters are all sixteen. But now that I am twenty-three, I think that there is an interesting uniqueness and rawness to teenagers that I wanted to explore and work with. It goes without saying that the teenage years are some of the most vital in anyone’s life. It’s during that time that one “discovers themself” in every aspect of the phrase. They form their moral codes and standards, they get more in tune with th...

99 THINGS YOU WISH YOU KNEW BEFORE®…CHOOSING ADOPTION

Image
Jeff Kasky is an adoption attorney. His book that was written together with his father about adoption is available now. We have conducted a short interview with him: What is the most challenging aspect about your profession as an Adoption Attorney? Working in the field of adoption requires a unique set of communication skills. Typically, I’m working on one side of the equation with a pregnant woman who may be young, naive, and scared to death about the adoption process. The other side of the equation is likely a fairly sophisticated adoptive family who is successful in many areas of life, but cannot have their own biological child for medical reasons. Bridging the gap between these two parties, while all the while keeping the child’s best interests in the forefront can be a delicate operation! What inspired you to write about your book "99 THINGS YOU WISH YOU KNEW BEFORE®…CHOOSING ADOPTION"? There are many myths and misunderstandings regarding a...

Interview with Zach Royer, author of Pyramid Rising

Image
Alternative researcher & author Zach Royer moved to Hawaii in 2011 to help start up a futuristic news network as well as expand his alternative shirts and news company, Apparently Apparel. He has interviewed dozens of authors, inventors and is currently on assignment in Kona, Hawaii studying the many mysteries of the island. When not researching about the paranormal, he enjoys fishing, surfing, prepping, and practicing alternative medicine. We have conducted a short interview with him: Q: Being an Alternative Researcher, what are the  effects of the paranormal on people? A: The effects are different from one person to the next I would say. In my case, the paranormal has had a beneficial effect as it has opened my mind and my eyes to things I never would have guessed existed. In my opinion, based on the popularity of the ‘paranormal’ on TV and in movies, I would say the effects are welcomed more so today than in any other period of history. In medieval times, open...

In 2012, he is running 12 5K races, 12 Half marathon's and 12 marathons, in addition to publishing 12 fiction books. We have conducted a short interview with him: Do you have a marathon training plan? What is your motivation for the runs? It’s a little funny how I got started. I was going through my MBA program which was online, so a group of us would meet in a pub for a few pitchers during class. In August 2010, we were sharing our bucket lists and a few pitchers in I boasted that I wanted to run a marathon by 40. Trouble was, I was a few months past my 40th birthday. So I went home that night, signed up for the Disney marathon in January and started running. At first, I couldn’t even run a mile. But I marked off a mile from my house, ran as far as I could, then walked the rest. I ran every day, and ...

He is living in Switzerland with his wife and four children and in 2012 he has launched the MAKE-PASSIVE-INCOME project. We have conducted a short interview with him: Why are you on a quest for passive income? I am interested in generating regular passive income because I like doing a lot of things but I spend a lot of my time working on my two businesses. I earn a great salary but I have four children and I want to spend time with them before they suddenly grow up and leave home. I don't need to make millions, I just want to support my family without having to work 60 hours a week. When and how did you first begin to make the passive income? I started the project "My quest to start creating multiple streams of passive income" on the 12th of September 2012 and within ten days had generated over $750 with a business that buys and sells banner ad space on the...

Michael Levin from Newark (Delaware)is a Trader, a Trainer of Traders, an Author (Over 100 published articles) and an expert in Automated Trading Systems. We have conducted a short interview with him: How long did it take before you became an expert in the trading field? I have been in the Trading Business since 1981 and in 1986 I entered an International contest (Real Money) for Traders and in 3 months had broken every record ever set. But it wasn't until I had published my 2nd article in Futures Truth magazine 4 years ago where they gave me the lead cover story, until I felt I was an "expert" in the Trading Industry What are some of your past experiences? In Trading, it was that contest I just mentioned, Also the USA Today had one where over 25,000 people entered and I was #2 at one point, only to finish 14th. I also had a hand in running a small Trading firm at the turn of the Century as well as working with and training many traders since ...

Image
Graham Brown is a ditigal anthropologist, etnographer and cultural adventurer from London. We asked him about his new book " The Mobile Youth: Voices of the Mobile Generation " What are the features of "Mobile Youth"? Why is it interesting about this mobile generation emotionally? This is the first generation that have grown up with mobile phones. There are over 1 billion youth around the world with a mobile phone. What's interesting is that now, every single one has a voice. Every single one has the ability to share information, make news, make content. When they grow up, our ideas of "media", "brands" and even "government" will change. In a short summary, how do you subtly convince someone to pick up this book? It's a book written for marketers, technologists and social scientists that want to know the future by studying young people today. This book has a very interesting title. Amongst the 10 stories...

Coach Zarrugh on Fitness

Image
Ahmed Zarrugh is a successfull college football coach who has been featured in this month's bachelors edition of Cosmoplitan magazine. We have conducted a short interview with him:   How do you feel about being featured in the bachelor's edition of Cosmopolitan? It's a little unnatural to my personality but I've had fun with it. I'm not sure what the criteria was but I guess its flattering. What are the pros and cons of being nominated as "America's Top Bachelor"? Well its provided a lot laughs between me and the people I know. That by itself it a positive. Its also nice to visit NYC, it happens to be my favorite city. I can't think of any thing negative that came with it, everybody has been very supportive. What are you looking for in a lady? I don't have an ideal as far as appearance is concerned. I think there are many versions of beauty. More importantly to me is how you treat others around you and I make sure to t...

Audrey's Guide to Witchcraft

Image
Author Jody Gehrman is a pagan at heart. She is a native of Northern California, where real witches thrive, and she has had the pleasure of knowing a few. She is also the author of seven novels and numerous award-winning plays. Audrey's Guide to Witchcraft is her most recent Young Adult novel. We have conducted an interview with her: 'The pleasures of paranormal chocolate' is a great description of the supernatural elements in your book. If you had to choose one review that highlights readers' reactions to your books' quirky sense of humor, what would that be? I love this review from Gabbi at Chapter by Chapter : "Audrey’s Guide to Witchcraft is a laugh out loud type novel. It was straight up hilarious even though Audrey does end up with brains in her hair." I really wanted to combine humor with romance and spooky paranormal witchieness. That's the kind of book I look for, but can't always find, especially in the Young Adult gen...

How to develop good study habits

Image
T.G. Dawood has published a self help book on education and different study styles. We have conducted a short interview with him. How long did you take to complete your book on " How to Develop Good Study Habits "? It took 3 long years to complete my book as I had to do the writing during any free time as I work full time, and I must say it took a lot of hard work, commitment and dedication to stay on track. Where did you draw your inspirations from while writing this book? Just by looking around me, my friends, families and collegues and getting shocked at the drop out rate from high schools, lack of enthusiasm, high failure rate etc. I decided to choose 'EDUCATION" as my main topic. Acquiring knowledge is not merely attending school. It teaches you the ability to think, study and hence function in the world. Our world is ever changing, it moves and what drives us forward is intellectual power acquired by education. How different is this book as...

Pretty Posh

Image
L. Robinson is a lingerie designer and boutique owner from Atlanta (GA). We have conducted a short interview with her: Other than wardrobe coordination, what other services do you value-add to your customers? Private consultation and fittings, by appointment. An appointment includes 1 hour of fittings of clients choice (usually champagne) in our private boutique. Most women especially minority women, are not aware of their bodies. The correct bra size is essential as it collaborates with the lower back, thus knowing the correct size is a source of promoting preventative health. I also cater to our curvier clients with "posh cureve" we also educate the appropriate after care washing instructions to enforce durability and longer wear time of our garments. How popular are your style of lingerie designs? We do not aim for popularity, we aim for durability, glamour and sexiness of the clients and the look. Pretty Posh is about the ambience of feminini...

Charity Kick

Image
Greg Fournier has started to build his website www.charitykick.com from the very beginning. His purpose is to use it for good causes offering a fundraising platform with a daring twist. We have conducted a short interview with him: When and why did you launch ' CharityKick.com '? CharityKick was launched just a few days ago (Tuesday 9th) with a very simple goal, to help charities raise more funds from an online fundraising platform that is more engaging and social. Fundraising through dares by nominating people, allows anyone to engage non-givers in a fun and challenging way that brings charities, pledgers and even companies together in one place. I mean come on, who has not dreamed of challenging their boss to something crazy, that could never have taken place without a good cause... What inspired you to develop it into a 'dared' idea and how effective is this in getting the funding for charities? It all came from a discussion with a...

Dealer Permit

Image
A lot of people are tired of paying too much for their used cars. They know that dealers are marking too much profit for what they deliver. Regardless of the reason people need/want access to the auctions DealerPermit.com helps them. We have conducted a short interview with them: What makes you different and outstanding from other auto dealers? We are not the only co-op option out there, but we don't have revolving fees, we charge one flat rate fee, we work with clients to run a compliant "legal" business with no worries of future issues. (i.e. People giving forged plates, promising insurance when it's not true)(Far too often people find out too late that they're operating illegally. We never let that happen) MOST IMPORTANT ABOUT US... We get our clients registered and active BEFORE we take fees from them. For Example... If they've got a fraud conviction we may have to reject them. By paying after approved, we're assuring or clients...

Voteclimate.net

Image
VOTECLIMATE.NET is an initiative by friends of Green Team America, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that promotes education and action for sustainability. Their aim is to mobilize university students and first time voters this election cycle to become the torch bearers for climate change. We have conducted a short interview with Kim Heismann the campaign manager of VOTECLIMATE.NET : How did you get yourself in VoteClimate? As someone who is extremely concerned about recent climate disruptions, I have been monitoring the presidential election waiting for them to speak up about topics like climate change. All indications are that Climate Change, like it or not, is something we need to factor into our everyday life. The facts are daunting: 40,000 weather records were broken in the US this year alone. With the arctic ice melting faster than ever, it means less reflection of sun off the North pole and therefore an escalation of extreme weather ahead. Less ice means m...
