Craig Hall is an entrepreneur, New York Times bestselling author, vintner and philanthropist. He formed HALL Group in 1968 at age 18 with $4,000 saved from small ventures that began at age 10. Today, HALL Group’s diversified business interests include active operations in commercial real estate ownership, development and management, structured financial lending, winemaking and early- stage investments in promising startups. Now, a self-made billionaire and author -Boom: Bridging the Opportunity Gap to Reignite Startupswww.reignitestartups.comHall actively supports new entrepreneurs, nurtures young startups and often speaks publicly about the importance of encouraging entrepreneurship worldwide. Together with his wife Kathryn Hall, he funded the Fulbright – Kathryn and Craig Hall Distinguished Chair for Entrepreneurship to teach entrepreneurship in Eastern Europe. Hall also founded the Dallas Regional Office of NFTE (Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship). He is the author of seven published books, including his most recent, BOOM: Bridging the Opportunity Gap to Reignite Startups, which was published on May 14, 2019. Hall has made it a lifelong mission to put people first – those in the community, those whom he employs, and those whom his business affects. Hall strongly believes that entrepreneurship is a catalyst that makes a difference both today and in the future, and intends to leave the world better than he found it. This is a philosophy he has been putting into action for 50 years, both in business and through his family foundation, established in 1977. Hall and his companies are often recognized for significant achievements and civic and charitable contributions. In 2006, Hall received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Mortgage Bankers Association. In 2007, Hall was named a lifetime member of the prestigious Horatio Alger Association for Distinguished Americans and was inducted into the North Texas Commercial Real Estate Hall of Fame and the Entrepreneurs Foundation of North Texas’ Ring of Honor. He was named the 2013 Dallas Real Estate Executive of the Year and in 2016 he was inducted into the Junior Achievement of Dallas Business Hall of Fame. In 2017, Hall and his wife Kathryn were co-awarded the 2017 “Master Entrepreneur of the Year” award for the Southwest Region from the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year program. In 2019, Hall was received the Pioneer Award from D CEO magazine for his contribution to the Dallas real estate community, and in the same year he also was recognized with the Business Council for the Arts Obelisk Award for his partnership with and service to the arts community. Hall has served on the Board of Trustees of the American University in Bulgaria, the American-Austrian Fulbright Board and the Board of the Horatio Alger Association for Distinguished Americans. From the perspective of a seasoned entrepreneur with experience in diverse industries—from software, to real estate, to winemaking—Hall provides his expert evaluation on the challenges facing entrepreneurs today. After careful analysis defining the current environment for startups, Hall optimistically concludes with specific strategies for go-getters to successfully bridge the opportunity gap. We can, and must, reverse these trends in order to level the playing field for entrepreneurs to safeguard the future of the American Dream. * Declining entrepreneurship: What does it mean for the future of work and our economy and how can we solve this crisis? 
* The Millennial problem: What challenges does this generation face and how can we lift the burden for millennials so that they pursue startups? 
* Women and minority-led startups: How can we provide more opportunity for women and minority-led startups and increase their visibility? 
* Democratizing entrepreneurship: What is the role of policymakers in the future of work and how can we begin to inspire change on a local and national level? 
* Corporate Darwinism: How are technology and AI influencing the future and why Main Street— and even Big Box—survival depends on flexibility, risk and innovation? 
Hope and opportunity are the currency of a growing middle class and the foundation of the American dream. Entrepreneurship can help cultivate this. And yet, as our economy and society have drifted into a greater divide between haves and have nots, we have seen our middle class shrink. We have seen our politics become divisive as we look for easy answers and all go to our own corners and reinforce our own views. 
The truth is, there is no silver bullet that will eliminate America’s income divide and its implications. But a broader base of entrepreneurs and an increase in opportunities for people of all ethnicities, races and genders to become entrepreneurs and start businesses would be a huge step in the right direction.

Gary Michelson is on the show....Dr. Gary Michelson is a board certified orthopedic spinal surgeon, inventor of more than 990 patents throughout the world, the founder and funder of three private foundations, recipient of numerous awards, and among a small group of individuals to ever be inducted into both the National Inventors Hall of Fame and the National Academy of Inventors. SOCIAL LINKS (twitter, facebook, linkedin) if applicable:Michelson Medical Foundation: www.twitter.com/MichelsonMedRFwww.facebook.com/michelsonmedicalwww.instagram.com/garymichelsonmmrf20MM Foundation:www.twitter.com/michelson20mmwww.facebook.com/Michelson20MMwww.instagram.com/michelsonimpactFound Animals Foundation:www.twitter.com/FoundAnimalsOrgwww.facebook.com/foundanimalswww.instagram.com/foundanimalsDr. Gary Michelson is a board-certified orthopedic spinal surgeon and a Diplomat of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, as well as an inventor, entrepreneur, philanthropist and humane advocate. As a child, Dr. Michelson was always coloring outside the lines, infinitely curious about how things worked, and uncommonly sensitive to the needs of others. Raised by his mother and grandmother in Philadelphia, he was exposed to spinal disorders at a young age—his grandmother suffered from Syringomyelia, a debilitating spinal deformity. The disruption of the nervous system caused by this disease allowed his grandmother’s hand, resting on a hot stove, to catch fire without her noticing. Witnessing this was a pivotal event in Dr. Michelson’s young life, where he began formulating a plan to help people afflicted with similar infirmities.Despite his modest upbringing, Dr. Michelson worked his way through Temple University and medical school at Drexel University, and following a successful surgical fellowship at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Houston, entered private practice in California as an orthopedic surgeon specializing in spinal surgery. Over the next 25 years, he became world-renowned as a surgical innovator and the most prolific inventor in medical history, with over 990 patents worldwide issued to date.In the field of spinal surgery, where outcomes were unpredictable and recovery could be long and painful, Dr. Michelson’s revolutionary advancements in procedures, instruments and implants consistently led to better patient outcomes, and significantly reduced post-surgical pain, blood loss, complications and recovery time. The surgical techniques and materials developed by Dr. Michelson remain the industry standard around the world.In 2005, after selling his patents to Medtronic, the world’s largest medical device company, those proceeds, together with the resolution of related intellectual property litigation, earned Dr. Michelson a place on the Forbes 400 as a self-made billionaire. The litigation, which established new precedents in the field of patent law, later became a stimulus for Dr. Michelson to create a comprehensive textbook on the subject (The Intangible Advantage: Understanding Intellectual Property in the New Economy), which he released digitally free of charge. Later, he developed an undergraduate college course, The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Intellectual Property, which has been adopted by many colleges and universities throughout the country. This inspired Dr. Michelson to create the Michelson 20MM Foundation (formerly, Twenty Million Minds Foundation), funding the dissemination of free, peer-reviewed, openly-licensed digital textbooks for essential college general education courses. These textbooks, now in use in half of all U.S. colleges and universities, and more than 70 countries, have already saved students hundreds of millions of dollars. Among its related initiatives, 20MM also provides digital textbooks for the remedial education of individuals serving time in prison.After retiring from private practice, Dr. Michelson’s passion pivoted exclusively to philanthropy, advancing his philosophy that sharing knowledge and supporting the research of others can change the world. That same year, he made an introductory donation of $100 million to his private Michelson Medical Research Foundation (which does not accept outside donations). Among the Foundation’s other activities, the Michelson Neglected Disease Vaccine Initiative supports research for obscure and lesser-known diseases that are deemed too esoteric for conventional funding, but nonetheless affect billions of people, particularly in poorer countries throughout the world. As a medical student, Dr. Michelson was nearly expelled over his objection to removing healthy organs from living dogs in a surgical lab. His lifelong passion for animals led to a new philanthropic endeavor, the Found Animals Foundation. This Los Angeles-based animal welfare organization provides grants for the rescue and placement of shelter animals, operates adopt-and-shop centers for homeless pets, provides free microchips, subsidizes stationary and mobile low and no-cost spay/neuter clinics, and funds the $25 million Michelson Grant for the development of non-surgical sterilization for cats and dogs. Through its various programs and services, Found Animals Foundation has assisted over 1.5 million companion animals over the past 14 years.In 2014, Dr. Michelson and his wife Alya personally gifted $50 million to the University of Southern California to fund the creation of the USC Michelson Center for Convergent Bioscience, bringing together the best and brightest of scientists, researchers and engineers from around the world to work collaboratively on solutions to the most pressing public health issues of our time. This unique interdisciplinary research site aspires to become a model for other prominent research universities, bringing the world closer to the medical breakthroughs that will define the 21st century.Among his many awards, citations and accomplishments, Dr. Michelson is one of a handful of individuals to ever be inducted into both the National Inventors Hall of Fame and the National Academy of Inventors. In 2006, he was recognized as the world’s leading scientist of spinal research by the Paralyzed Veterans of America. Among a group of prominent inventors who supported the America Invents Act of 2011, Dr. Michelson was invited to the White House by President Obama to witness the signing of that historic legislation. In 2015, he was awarded both the Albert B. Sabin Humanitarian Award for his contributions toward neglected disease vaccine research, and the Distinguished Achievement Award from B’nai B’rith International for his leadership, philanthropy and humanitarian endeavors. He also received the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters (alongside Will Ferrel and Dame Helen Mirren), at USC’s 134th Commencement Ceremony for the Class of 2017.Dr. Michelson lives in California with his wife Alya, their three children, and their two rescued dogs. They are active members of the Giving Pledge, a campaign founded by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, that encourages the wealthiest individuals and couples to contribute the majority of their fortune to philanthropic causes.1-2 Topics Talking Points * conversation topics you want us to discuss that are important to you.:Topics: Philanthropy and the Michelson Foundations (all three are self-funded by Gary):-Michelson Medical Foundation-20MM Foundation-Found Animals FoundationSample questions-could you give us some specific examples of what each of the foundations do, and how it might directly affect our lives?-your 20MM Foundation funds high quality, interactive, open license, freely downloadable and printable, textbooks to support higher education, and in particular the college space.

Inca One is an established gold producer www.incaone.com Inca One Gold has a six-year track record of production as an established Peruvian toll-milling gold producer. The company has grown production by more than 272% over the previous four years and produced 25,000 ounces of gold in 2019. Inca One has now put into place a strategic plan to further increase production to 100,000 ounces annually. STOCK SYMBOLSInca One Gold (TSX.V: IO / OTC: INCAF) is a gold producer operating two fully permitted gold ore processing facilities in Peru. Peru is the world's sixth-largest producer of gold and its small scale mining sector is estimated by government officials to be valued in the billions of dollars annually.CEO & PRESIDENTEDWARD KELLY:Over 15 year career in capital marketsmanaging and running firms in a diverse range ofsectors from natural resource to technology. HeldSenior Management positions and directorship with several public companies on the TSXV Exchange/ OTCThis content contains “forward‐looking information” and "forward-looking statements” under applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws (collectively, “forward‐looking statements”). These statements relate to future events or the Company's future performance, business prospects or opportunities that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management made in light of management's experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: the Company’s business strategy; future planning processes; commercial mining operations; cash flow; budgets; the timing and amount of estimated future production; recovery rates; mine plans and mine life; the future price of gold and other metals; costs of production; and completion of milestones thereunder. Assumptions may prove to be incorrect and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. Consequently, guidance cannot be guaranteed. As such, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon guidance and forward-looking statements as there can be no assurance that the plans, assumptions, or expectations upon which they are placed will occur. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward‐looking statements. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “continue”, “estimate”, “expect”, “may”, “will”, “project”, “predict”, “forecast”, “potential”, “target”, “intend”, “could”, “might”, “should”, “believe” and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be “forward‐looking statements”. www.positivestocks.com/gold6 Reasons to consider Inca One Gold Corp.(TSX.V: IO / OTC: INCAF) in the next gold bull market: 1) Gold is about to make new all-time highs:Global economic uncertainty and rapid monetary inflation have resulted in a strong upward trend for gold prices. Most analysts predict gold will break through $2,000 per ounce before the end of 2020 and could reach $3,000 per ounce in 2021. 2) Inca One is an established gold producer:Inca One has a six-year track record of production as an established Peruvian toll-milling gold producer. The company has grown production by more than 272% over the previous four years and produced 25,000 ounces of gold in 2019. Inca One has now put into place a strategic plan to further increase production to 100,000 ounces annually. 3) Inca One’s business model is built for rising gold prices: 4) Inca One has tremendous growth prospects: Inca One currently has a small market cap under $100 million that is set to re-rate much higher as it expands production at its processing facilities. Additionally, as it rolls out its new direct-to-consumer bullion store and rides the gold bull market higher, it will experience significant operating and sales leverage to rising gold prices. 5) Inca One is focused on its shareholders: With just 27 million shares issued and outstanding, Inca One has one of the tightest share structures of any publicly traded gold mining company. Thanks to its stable, cash flowing business model the company does not have to unnecessarily dilute shareholders by raising additional capital. 6) Inca One insiders have serious skin in the game: Management, board members and key investors of Inca One hold 52% of the outstanding shares of the company. This means that management interests are aligned with shareholder interests, which is crucial for a company to be successful over the long term.DO NOT BASE ANY INVESTMENT DECISION UPON ANY MATERIALS FOUND ON THIS WEBSITE.We are not registered as a securities broker-dealer or an investment adviser either with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or with any state securities regulatory authority.

State-wide distribution, from San Diego in the south to the pot mecca of Humboldt in the north, is expensive and difficult to establish. Most producers in the state are opting to instead focus on establishing their brands in a few select regions of the state. One new player in the industry has partnered with a famous cannabis user, activist and influencer to bring a celebrity-branded THC & CBD tincture products to market.Hollister Biosciences is on the RiseEstablished in 2017, Hollister Biosciences (CSE: HOLL) (FRA: HOB) is a cannabis and hemp producer located in Hollister, California, a small farming town just south of the San Francisco Bay Area. The company intends to use vertical integration, statewide distribution and leading brands in high-margin segments of the industry to become a dominant player in The Golden State. Management has decided to focus on developing leading cannabis and hemp brands, as opposed to focusing on retail stores. This strategy should allow them to run a leaner and tighter company that’s not bogged down by the capital requirements of opening their own dispensaries.VIEW THE STOCKhttps://hollistercannabisco.com/About Hollister Biosciences IncHollister Biosciences Inc. is a California based vertically integrated cannabis company with a vision to be the sought-after premium brand portfolio of innovative, high-quality California-grown cannabis and hemp products. Hollister uses a vertically integrated, high margin model, controlling the whole process from manufacture to sales to distribution or seed to shelf.

Hollister Cannabis Co. additionally offers white-labeling manufacturing of cannabis products. Our wholly owned California subsidiary Hollister Cannabis Co is the 1st state and locally licensed cannabis company in the city of Hollister, CA birthplace of the "American Biker."A Promising and Lucrative New PartnershipWhile Tommy Chong gained popularity for portraying a stoner, nowadays he’s much more focused on the medical aspects of cannabis. After the market closed today, it was announced that Hollister Biosciences and Tommy Chong signed a licensing deal allowing Hollister to manufacture and distribute Tommy Chong’s Cannabis™ Full Spectrum Elixer 1:1. The cannabis tincture has an equal ratio of THC to CBD.“We are honored and excited to be partners with such a legendary and Iconic star as Tommy Chong. Tommy has experienced the medical benefits of cannabis and we are looking forward to working together to launch Tommy Chong’s Cannabis Full Spectrum Elixir into the California Legal Cannabis marketplace,” said Hollister CEO Carl Saling.Chong is licensing the formula and brand to Hollister, who will manufacture and distribute (via WAYV) the finished product. The two parties anticipate production of around 25,000 units in the first year, with each bottle retailing for $70 allowing Hollister to generate potential revenue of $1,750,000 in the first year. Should the product sell well, expect management to increase production dramatically.In discussing the new partnership with Hollister, Tommy Chong stated: “I only partner with the best-in-class companies and I am really pleased to have the Hollister Cannabis Co. bring their amazing Tommy Chong’s Cannabis™ Full Spectrum Elixir to the market for me”.Learn more about Hollister:   Website | IR Website The Positive Phil Podcast Show, a podcast, available on iTunes, Spotify, iHeartRadio, where Positive Phil talks about personal stories, events and engaging interviews; with famous people, celebrities, athletes, authors, spiritual educators, thought leaders, as well as others in the social, business and entertainment industry.Airing on over 300 digital channels, including iHeart Radio, Spotify, StitcherFm, Google Podcast and published online via RSS feeds globally.

Raymond D. “Ray” Zinn is an inventor, entrepreneur, investor, angel, bestselling author and the longest serving CEO of a publicly traded company in Silicon Valley. He is also the founder of a nationally launched ZinnStarter program at colleges around the country, providing the financial and mentoring support for students to launch new products and companies. In 2015, Ray published his first book, Tough Things First, with McGraw Hill. The book covers Zinn’s analysis of his nearly 40 years at the helm of Micrel, a Silicon Valley institution along with the critical factors that entrepreneurs and seasoned executives alike need to know, including the intricacies of nurturing corporate culture, how to make every employee (and every human) feel valued, the impact and limitations of policies and procedures, and how to manage growth. Zinn is also known for conceptualizing and in effect inventing the Wafer Stepper, and for cofounding semiconductor company Micrel (acquired by Microchip in 2015), which provides essential components for smartphones, consumer electronics and enterprise networks. He served as Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of its Board of Directors and President since the Company’s inception in 1978. Zinn led Micrel profitably through eight major downturns in global chip markets, an impressive achievement. Many chip companies weren’t able to make it through one downturn and very few have survived through all the major downturns. Micrel has been profitable from its very first year, aside from one year during the dot-com implosion. Ray Zinn holds over 20 patents for semiconductor design. He has been mentioned in several books, including Jim Fixx’s The Complete Book of Running and Essentialism by Greg McKeown.

Widower, Father of 4 Children, Quest to make the World more AWESOME. After Bert Pope’s wife Jill died in 2016 from a texting-while-driving accident, Bert was left to navigate raising their 4 children. Bert reminded all the children that they will never be without family and friends to help them, to guide them, and to love them. Bert’s focus became how to make sure they have forever the love and support they needed as they grew older, whether he was there or not. The exposure to the world around the children and the massive presence of digital sharing in ways never before seen made Bert dedicate himself to the quest not only to make the world around his children better but also to create a tool for all humanity to celebrate each other doing good and making the world better. It became clear there could be a way to make these social networking tools helpful instead of harmful. Bert saw social media which is plagued with negativity also as a beautiful open forum connecting us all. The task would be how to take a social forum and focus it to do good in the world, enjoying all the best things about social sharing and celebrating each other in a positive way. As a realtor, Bert knew that learning how to create a Social Networking Platform for positivity was out of his wheelhouse. “I have no idea why I felt led to create a social network focusing on positivity, but there is this strong push to make it a reality,” Bert said. “I’ve never felt so engaged and focused.” https://www.awesomecompany.com Bert said the resources were limited, and learning as you go was costly. The first creation started with an app called “Give an Awesome” which was enjoyed and used by many as a celebratory app to tell users and friends they are Awesome. The content creation tool has a great sharing space and people still enjoy the app today. “People shared and still share AWESOME buttons in the community celebrating friends and neighbors as being and doing Awesome stuff,” Bert said. After working with several focus groups with members of various ages, Bert learned they liked the “Give an Awesome” app but they wanted more. Other social networks they used also shared content and could be used for the same purpose of recognizing positive people by giving them an “Awesome.” They wanted to know how much positivity they were producing, what , where, how, why? Bert thought his quest was done: he just created a social network focusing on positivity doing the same as most of the other Social Networks through sharing. What now?Now the quest deepened, how do you help users see how much positivity they are sharing?Bert thought, “How about making it fun to do good. Make a game out of paying it forward with kindness”. Receive points for engaging doing good in Kindness Challenges and share on other social platforms to spread the kindness engagement. A kindness challenge would be; hold the door for someone, put change in the parking meter that is expired, take your neighbors trash to the curb, buy someone coffee behind you, or let someone ahead of you in line. These are some of the kindness challenges that would be available.Inside the persons profile shows a ring around their profile photo that glows brighter the more they engage in doing good. Accumulating points a person levels up and up, the ring changes colors and as it does each level is celebrated with an animated explosion celebrating the person doing good.Adding an ability for sharing inside the platform virtual animated emojicoins of love, laughter, awesome and happy birthday, adding a personal message points to help the person evolve inside the game. AWESOME was launched through Apple and Google Play. Shared through www.Awesome.oneUsers enjoy AWESOME, it had on its launch difficulties and sign-up issues that made it difficult to use and enjoy. Working with a limited budget between selling houses and providing for his family the development was slow. The focus of Awesome is to empower the user to have the best positive Social platform experience for their impact on humanity with tools to make the experience magical with their friends and followers. Being celebrated as they do good in the World. Providing a content creation portal for sharing links, photos and video clips that they would like to share to their sphere of followers. Content created can be shared out to facebook and twitter, deep linking to bring interested followers back to Awesome. #BeAwesomeThe Positive Phil Podcast Show, a podcast, available on iTunes, Spotify, iHeartRadio, where Positive Phil talks about personal stories, events and engaging interviews; with famous people, celebrities, athletes, authors, spiritual educators, thought leaders, as well as others in the social, business and entertainment industry.Airing on over 300 digital channels, including iHeart Radio, Spotify, StitcherFm, Google Podcast and published online via RSS feeds globally. The show has been around for almost 4 years and is one of the most popular podcast shows on the internet in the business-motivation space.Professional radio, tv, podcast host and producer from San Diego California.  We have a large national following on digital media channels, with our popular podcast and network of shows.

Umberto Luchini is the founder and proprietor of Wolf Spirit LLC, a company which develops and owns spirit brands – such as Blood x Sweat x Teams Vodka of Eugene, OR -- as well as imports and markets others, such as Tom of Finland Organic Vodka from Finland. Umberto was born in Milan, Italy into a small, tight-knit family. He attended school in London, worked in France, became jobless after 9/11, and took a low-paying job with a great brand:  Campari (Monaco). Umberto rose through the marketing ranks, ultimately moving to San Francisco in 2004, where he resides today as an American citizen. Umberto remained with Campari America for 17 years, during which time he formed an award-winning team of 30 marketers, and developed Espolòn tequila (which is often compared to Tito’s Vodka because of its explosive growth). In 2017, Umberto founded Wolf Spirit; by the end of 2018 the distillery was built and their first product had been designed, packaged, and created; and sales began in 2019. Already the vodkas are available in 23 states, with 17 more slated to be onboard by the end of the year: this is an astonishing rate of growth, which usually requires 5 years rather than 12 months. Umberto is happier than ever and working harder than ever to grow his own company and brands, as he did in the past for many others. In his spare time, he enjoys high-endurance sports (triathlons, ultra-marathons, etc.) and traveling. Website to link to: https://www.wolfspiritdistillery.com/ * https://www.bstvodka.com/ * https://www.tomoffinlandvodka.com/The Positive Phil Podcast Show, a podcast, available on iTunes, Spotify, iHeartRadio, where Positive Phil talks about personal stories, events and engaging interviews; with famous people, celebrities, athletes, authors, spiritual educators, thought leaders, as well as others in the social, business and entertainment industry.Airing on over 300 digital channels, including iHeart Radio, Spotify, StitcherFm, Google Podcast and published online via RSS feeds globally. The show has been around for almost 4 years and is one of the most popular podcast shows on the internet in the business-motivation space.Professional radio, tv, podcast host and producer from San Diego California.  We have a large national following on digital media channels, with our popular podcast and network of shows.

Former Hollywood Today Live co-host Kristen Brockman has been a passionate advocate for The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (cff.org) since 2009, volunteering, fundraising, and serving as the chair for the Los Angeles 65 Roses Climb since 2013.
Kristen’s younger sister Kelsi lived with cystic fibrosis and lost her battle with the genetic lung and digestive disease in 2016. The Un-Bucket List has become Kristen’s passion project - a travel blog that chronicles each item from Kelsi's unfinished bucket list, with the purpose to raise awareness and funds for CF research. To date she has raised over $50K and the goal is $100K – and when she’ll complete item #1: skydiving.
Kristen also hosts the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation podcast, Breaking Through, aimed at “Tomorrow’s Leaders,” the CF Foundation’s Young Professionals Group.
From hugging a sloth to visiting San Francisco, Kristen is determined to complete each item including meeting Britney Spears in Las Vegas and visiting Punta Cana.

Trouble no one about their religion;respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life.Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people.Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend,even a stranger, when in a lonely place.Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living.If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weepand pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.”― Chief TecumsehPositive Phil Podcast is a daily podcast hosted by Positive Phil.

As one of the first 13 producers to be certified by the U.S. Hemp Authority, Hemp Depot is one of the nation’s largest and most trusted hemp brands specializing in seed genetics, planting, harvesting, formulating, wholesaling, and retailing cannabis for CBD under a variety of best-selling labels as well as white labels for humans and pets.

Passionate about clean, sustainable agriculture, water conservation and growing non-GMO, all-natural crops, Hemp Depot seeds generate the highest-value yield per acre and the highest-value for CBD per plant, while also maintaining the highest hemp seed inventory in the U.S. Visit https://www.hempdepotco.com for orders and more details.-------Andy Rodosevich & Luke Pickering / CEO and Co-Founders / Hemp DepotA native of Colorado Springs, Hemp Depot CEO and co-founder AndyRodosevich had two passions as a boy: cars and creating ways to make money. Today, with his high school friend Luke Pickering, he runs one of the nation’s largest hemp farms specializing in seed genetics, planting, harvesting, wholesaling and retailing cannabis for CBD with emphasis on safety and purity. Hemp Depot was one of the first 13 producers to be certified by the U.S. Hemp Authority, an organization formed in 2018 to self-regulate the industry with standards to ensure the quality and safety of CBD products.Looking out over the hundreds of acres of Hemp Depot’s cannabis farm, it’s hard to imagine Andy experiences an allergic reaction to marijuana-producing cannabis, which looks similar but is genetically different to CBD producing hemp. It’s this sensitivity that makes him place such a strong emphasis on frequent testing and quality control.Andy worked his way through college as district manager for a cell phone company, and upon graduating helped turn around a struggling car dealership as the company’s general manager. Realizing the potential of Colorado’s then-fledgling marijuana industry, he maxed-out one of his credit cards to establish one of Denver’s first medical cannabis dispensaries, Elevated Medical, in 2009. Despite making numerous mistakes, including falling victim to an armed robbery and Colorado’s changing zone regulations, the dispensary was a financial success and established him as a veteran in the cannabis industry. He went on to create an online cannabis social network called WeedLife in 2014 providing educational information and connecting consumers, businesses, marketers, and writers who cover the industry. Overnight, it grew to tens of thousands of users and has continued to grow since then.A sought-after source on cannabis and CBD, Andy has been interviewed by national media such as CNBC and invited to speak at industry conferences. He is a member of the Hemp Industries Association and the National Hemp Association. Luke Pickering / Co-Founder / Hemp DepotFascinated with cannabis since high school, Luke Pickering has always had a green thumb and knack for getting the most out of plants no matter how tight the space. It’s a talent he honed when he and his high school friend Andy Rodosevich joined forces to co-found Hemp Depot and quickly took it from six acres to over 1,300 acres to become one of the nation’s largest producers of hemp CBD from seed to harvest, wholesale and retail. Hemp Depot now is one of the first 13 producers to have met the most stringent quality and safety standards in hemp farming and processing and become certified by the U.S. Hemp Authority.Luke is renowned for his expertise in seed genetics and capability to perfect the process of growing the most potent and pure hemp CBD in the world, maximizing acreage and proven with third-party testing. His interest in seed genetics was sparked by a void in the seed market and a desire to grow a unique strain. He is driven to produce seeds with the highest quality structure, cannabinoid content and compliance. He works to create seeds that produce the highest yield per acre and highest possible amount of CBD per plant. Luke’s expertise has led Hemp Depot to produce seeds with the highest CBD genetic and become the industry leader with the highest seed inventory in the U.S. A member of the Hemp Industries Association and the National Hemp Association, Luke is a sought-after news media source on seed genetics, CBD purity, quality and safety.www.hempdepotco.com

Like some of the greats in the industry Chad started his company out of his garage with a single editing system. Over the next ten years he built that company into Hieroglyphic Productions, which became one of Disney’s largest vendors producing branded content for shows like Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverly Place and Take Two with Phineas & Ferb. He also directed many A-list celebrities including Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Ben Stiller, Muhammad Ali, and Michael J. Fox.In 2007 he became one of the early adopters on YouTube, launching an original show that quickly became one of the top comedy channels. He loved this new space for many reasons, but mostly because it leveled the playing field for people who simply wanted to create content without playing the “Hollywood” game. YouTube was also the place where he became fast friends with some of the top creators out there.In 2012, Hieroglyphic Productions was acquired by Maker Studios where Chad served as Vice President of Production, helping to build the company before it was sold two years later to Disney for $650 Million. After leaving Maker, Chad could see there was a better way to gauge (and share) the true value of his fellow creators. So in 2014 Chad founded Social Bluebook, a company devoted to helping social media creators build their business and brand value.Positive Phil Podcast is a daily podcast hosted by Positive Phil.

William Masters is an engineer, inventor, designer, manufacturing entrepreneur and business advisor/mentor. He holds the first 3D printing patent.,[1] along with patents for other 3D printing technologies (piezo transducer, extrusion, lithography, surface tension, and pin array) and computer assisted manufacturing. He founded Perception Kayaks,[2] at one time the largest kayak manufacturer in the U.S.,[3][4] and has served as a small business delegate to the Reagan and Clinton administrations.[5]Masters is widely recognized as a pioneer in kayak manufacturing[6] and for his success in connecting whitewater enthusiasts with his kayaks.[7][8] The Wall Street Journal, in the August 15, 1998 edition of its Southeastern Journal, described Masters as "an intense, hands-on tinkerer who isn't shy about touting his accomplishments."[9] His innovations in kayak manufacturing, including rotational molding and working in engineered plastics instead of fiberglass, revolutionized the sport and recreational kayak markets.[7]In the mid 1970s, Masters began work on a revolutionary manufacturing process, one which he compared to using a straw to deposit "spit wads." "When you shoot a lot of wads," he explained, "they begin to take shape. If you can control the direction of the wads and the motion of the device shooting them, you can produce any desired shape."[10]Masters filed a patent for his Computer Automated Manufacturing Process and System on July 2, 1984 (US 4665492)).[11] This filing is on record at the USPTO as the first 3D printing patent in history; it was the first of three patents belonging to Masters that laid the foundation for the 3D printing systems used today.[12][13]Masters introduced his 3D printing technology at CAD/CAM conferences in the late 1980s[12] with little success. Undeterred, he founded Perception Systems to handle research and development of his technology. In 1992, Perception Systems changed its name to Ballistic Particle Manufacturing (BPM)[14] and received funding from Palmetto Seed Capital, a state funded South Carolina venture capital group by headed by former South Carolina Governor Carroll A. Campbell, Jr..[15]BPM launched its Personal Modeler 2100 in 1996, a device that used a computer aided design (CAD) system to manufacture an object of any shape by "shooting droplets of plastic."[16] During this time, Masters was forced to part ways with BPM to focus on his growing kayak business.[4]The company, responding to pressure from investors and competitors, shipped and installed sixteen Personal Modelers in beta to customers and distributors. After eight years of product development, the technology was still unreliable, and most of the companies who received the Personal Modelers shipped them back and turned their attention elsewhere.Negative publicity resulting from the product introduction proved to be fatal, which had struggled to develop its market. BPM would go out of business in 1997,[15] but the corporate entity still exists.Two other American inventors developed 3D printing technology that achieved commercial viability in additive manufacturing: Charles W. Hull, who invented stereo lithography (filed Aug 8, 1984), and S. Scott Crump, who patented fused deposition modeling (filed Oct 30, 1989). Both of these men filed their patent applications after Bill Masters (filed Jul 2, 1984), making him the true father of 3D printing.Masters's original 3D printing patent expired in 2004.Perception KayaksAs a student at Clemson University, Masters received a broken kayak as payment for fixing a friend's car. He repaired the kayak and his workmanship attracted the attention of other kayakers, who quickly asked him to repair their kayaks.[17]A whitewater enthusiast from the first time he went down the Chattooga River, Masters launched his business with $50 in capital.[6] Over the course of ten days in 1972, he completed his first handmade kayak in the back of an old mortuary. The one-off drew interest from other river runners and Masters sold it for $90.[18]In August 1974, Masters launched a new kayak manufacturing company, Fiberglass Technology, in Liberty, South Carolina. The company produced an average of 150 boats per year.[19]In 1976, Masters changed the name of the company to Perception Kayaks. Within five years, this operation would become the largest kayak manufacturer in the United States.[20] As Perception grew with the kayak market, it expanded operations internationally to Chester, England in 1982 and New Zealand in 1986. Masters developed and registered 30+ patents in boat design, plastics manufacturing, computers and heat transfer and used these patents to keep Perception at the forefront of the industry.[21]He realized early on that customer interaction would drive sales growth. During the 1990s, Perception introduced various ways to interact with prospects and customers, including a professional call center, an interactive website, and two technical field representatives to promote the sport of kayaking through education.[22]This early pilot program introduced kayaking to novices by offering free coaching. As Masters noted, "Coaching from a skilled trainer, and the opportunity to try any of 30 kayak designs, helps people push past their doubts and get out onto the water, paddling closer to a future kayak purchase.”[23]Perception continued to grow throughout the 80s and into the 90s, producing successful lines of kayaks and canoes. As early as 1984, however, Masters had begun to speak openly about vacating his role as President of the company he founded.[24]In 1987, Perception's sales manager, Joe Pulliam, left the company to work for Blue Hole Canoe and eventually founded Dagger Canoe. Dagger emerged as the first serious competition for Perception, although Pulliam had a two-year non-compete agreement that initially kept Dagger out of kayaks and in canoes. In 1990 Dagger introduced its first kayak, the Response.Masters would eventually exit Perception altogether when he sold the company to Crescent Capital, which then acquired Dagger, and both companies were put under the Watermark Paddlesports holding company. Watermark was eventually acquired by Confluence Holdings, an industry platform consolidating multiple kayak and canoe brands.[9]In 2017, Masters was inducted into the International Whitewater Hall of Fame in the Pioneer Category. The ceremony was hosted in October, 2017 alongside the ACA National Paddlesports Conference in Bryson City, North Carolina, USA.Peer Advisory Groups (aka Forums)Bill Masters is a firm believer in educating, the development of entrepreneurial skills, and mentoring, especially young entrepreneurs.[25] He gives back by dedicating his time to numerous committees and boards, including Greenville Technical College Entrepreneurial Forum and writing a book to create and advocate for peer to peer advisory groups, Focus Forums™. He has recently served as Chair of South Carolina Research Authority, on the SC Council on Competitiveness Composites Cluster (2006), Liberty Fellows (2005), Board of Directors for SC Launch (2005), Furman University Foundation Board (2004) and Chair, Higher Education Task Force of The Governors Map Commission. Masters is a member of Young Presidents Organization (YPO), World Presidents Organization (WPO) and L3. He served on the YPO International Forum Advisory Board (YPO) and Chapter Forum Officer WPO.Bill Masters: An Entrepreneur who Turned Spitballs into 3D PrintingThe Ups and Downs of Creating a Major Invention and Knowing What to Do with ItWhen you think of 3D printing, images of space-age shapes and maybe even a guy named Chuck Hull probably get conjured up. Hull: the man widely dubbed as ‘the father of 3D printing.’ It’s true Hull – now 75 and still working as chief technology officer of 3D Systems – did patent a 3D invention in 1986. But, little do people know that two years earlier in the heat and humidity of Greenville, SC, the idea had already been born. By entrepreneur, Bill Masters.Masters grew up in Easley, South Carolina and through himself into science and engineering as a kid. This passion followed him to college, where he studied electrical engineering while working a 40-hour week on the side. Today, he still resides (and invents!) in South Carolina, but is instead widely known as the father of modern kayaking – founding and running Perception Kayaks from 1975 to 1998. In fact, he has recently been inducted to the International Whitewater Hall of Fame in the Pioneer category for his efforts. It was on the banks of a kayaking trip – the Chattooga River under the 76 bridge on the South Carolina side to be exact – Masters began thinking about spit balls that eventually led him to 3D printing.“I was sleeping on the side of the the river on my kayak looking up at the stars and I realized if you could take one star and make that your seed point, you could add stars from any direction until you had the shape you wanted,” he remembers of the time. “Similarly, if you shoot a spit ball down and it sticks, you can then shoot multiple down on top of it. They stick and stick and stick until eventually you can build something with them.”This was in the 1970s, and it took him a few years to develop the idea and save enough to afford the patent. But by 1984, his “Computer Automated Manufacturing Process and System” was ready. He filed U.S. Patent 4,665,492 A on July 2nd – two full years before Hull patented his “Apparatus for Production of Three-Dimensional Objects by Stereolithography”. In fact, it was the first of five patents belonging to Masters that laid the foundation for the 3D printing systems used today. According to Masters, his patents still have parts that noone has done today.https://homebusinessmag.com/success-stories-lifestyles/bill-masters-entrepreneur-turned-spitballs-3d-printing/https:// www.positivephil.com

The specific circumstances that call us to lead will be different, but the core dilemmas and ethical challenges are very similar. Faced with these challenges, each of us must decide if we will follow our ego-centered inclinations or lead for the good of everyone whose lives we touch? Will we endanger or impair those around us to satisfy our own self-interest, or will we lead in a manner that is true to our values?In his inspiring book Lead True, Jeff Thompson, MD, has masterfully compiled stories from the business, healthcare, and education fields, illustrating how a diverse group of leaders has employed value-based leadership and succeeded. These case studies offer dynamic, living narratives that demonstrate ways in which a leader, fueled by personal values, can change people, organizations, and even entire industries.What sets this book apart is the interweaving of the author’s personal leadership story in healthcare to the insights from start-ups, mid-career, and top-level leaders—people who have proven that values-driven leadership is not simply a noble idea but one that actually works in practice. The author artfully shows that the goal of leadership is not to move one individual ahead of all others. When you lead true, you can move everyone forward—people, organizations, and communities—finding the best route for all.The Positive Phil Show is a daily podcast hosted by Positive Phil.www.positivephil.comThe program primarily consists of interviews with positive people and thought leaders, as well as others in the social, business and entertainment community.We are a community of over 1,550,000 people who seek to create positive and lasting change.

THE AMERICAN DREAM REVISITED“The American Dream is dead,” said the young man at the table behind me.I was sitting in a coffee shop and sipping my mocha.“Between all the student loans and the job market it’s more like the American Disaster,” another voice chimed in.“Yeah. Tell me about it. My credit cards are almost maxed out and all I do is go to school, work, sleep, and do homework. I’m barely hanging on. Forget trying to climb up,” I heard a third person say.It was at this point I decided to sneak a peak. There were four people in their early 20s sitting around the table. Three were animated, passionate, and in agreement about the bleakness of their futures. But there was one who hadn't spoke.He hadn’t joined in the conversation yet. He sat quietly, eyes staring down at the cup he cradled in his hands. His thumbs were tracing lines around the rim. He had just opened his mouth to speak as I turned back around.“I mean…I don’t know. Yeah, I’ve got some debt but I’m also getting a good education. I’m not really afraid to work hard and there’re good jobs out there. So…yeah. I mean, I feel pretty good about the future.” I wrote The American Dream Revisited for him.There’s so much doom and gloom in the media about how bad it is, or is going to get. But that’s not the whole story. There’s a positive side. I know there is. Not only have I seen it first hand, but I’ve helped others see it and achieve it too. I’ve spent my entire career giving countless people the tools they need to explore the opportunities and possibilities of their lives and succeed.The American Dream Revisited: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Results is my response to the conversation I overheard. It’s the true stories of 13 different people, from all walks of life - from a South African Indian, to an Old Order Amish rebel, to a Holocaust survivor - who achieved their American Dream. So please, join me on a journey that starts in 1865, has all sorts of stops (including a Puerto Rican street gang and the White House), and is still very much alive today. It’s my hope that these stories will inspire you to seek and find your own American Dream. And together - you can achieve it. Oh - and because I was serious when I said I wrote American Dream Revisited for the quiet guy at the coffee shop - I’ve partnered with Ohio Foundation of Independent Colleges (www.ofic.org/smr/americandreamrevisited) to set up a scholarship. 20% of all profits made from the American Dream Revisited will go directly to supporting the American Dream Revisited Scholarship. https://www.theamericandreamrevisited.com/the-american-dream-revistedPositive Phil Podcast is a daily podcast hosted by Positive Phil.

Hydration Entrepreneur Brandin Cohen with Liquid I.V.Chats with Positive PhilLiquid I.V. was founded by two former elite college athletes who were frustrated with chemical and sugar filled sports drinks that weren’t effectively hydrating them. So, they harassed the revolutionary science pioneered by the World Health Organization (WHO) to create their first product, Hydration Multiplier. Hydration Multiplier is a lemon-lime powder that is added to water to optimize it and enhance its benefits. The formulation uses a calculated ratio of nutrients that more directly hydrate cells, as much as three times faster than water alone.Hydration Multiplier is used by several professional athletes, including New York Knicks guard Sasha Vujacic, ultra-marathoner Sally McRae, and pro surfer Jamie Mitchell.Hydration Multiplier is available at a variety of top national retailers, including 7-Eleven, Whole Foods Market, GNC and Bed Bath & Beyond.For every Hydration Multiplier sold, Liquid I.V. donates one to areas where severe dehydration is widespread (the company has donated nearly 50,000 servings of Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier to Haiti since 2015).About This ShowInspiring conversations behind how people grow business, movements, ideas & a bit about civic grace. Hi, I’m Positive Phil.

Sendgrid Co-Founder & Entrepreneur Isaac Saldana is on the Positive Phil Podcast SendGrid recently closed a $33 million Series D funding round and now boasts more than 350 employees and a brand new, state-of-the-art office in downtown Denver. However, SendGrid’s humble origins stem from three passionate founders, Isaac Saldana, Tim Jenkins, and Jose Lopez, who set out to solve the problem of email deliverability in 2009. I had the opportunity to sit down with Isaac Saldana, one of SendGrid’s three co-founders, and the first CEO of the company, to discuss how the business was started. During our in-depth conversation, we discussed Isaac’s past as an entrepreneur, his motivations for starting SendGrid, finding initial product-market fit and the keys to SendGrid’s ultimate success. The story and glimpse into Saldana’s mindset that follows are sure to be invaluable for aspiring entrepreneurs and seasoned professionals alike. Before There Was SendGrid… For such a successful founder, Saldana is extraordinarily humble and attributes much of his success to luck. “This thing is hard and it’s not going to be given, but consider that a lot of it is luck and just part of the process. So, if you never create a successful startup, it doesn’t mean anything. It just means you didn’t get as lucky as the other person.” Isaac Saldana While luck was certainly part of the equation, Saldana’s goal was to objectively identify why SendGrid’s founders were able to succeed in spite of the unfavorable odds facing startups. For Saldana, curiosity and persistence were instrumental in identifying a challenging, widespread problem and forming the right team to build a solution. Consider that SendGrid was Saldana’s fourth startup. To put that into perspective, Saldana had worked on “failed” startups for six years before even beginning on SendGrid, which doesn’t sound lucky in hindsight. While all of those businesses failed from a financial standpoint, they provided invaluable experience that would lead to SendGrid’s success for a number of reasons. Saldana developed meaningful working relationships in running startups with SendGrid co-founder Jose Lopez and SendGrid’s 5th employee, Elmer Thomas. Saldana, Lopez, and Thomas learned from mistakes they had made in previous businesses. Saldana encountered a recurring pain point of email deliverability in all of his previous startups, which would eventually drive him to found SendGrid. from https://www.sendgrid.com POSITIVE PHIL IS AN ENTREPRENEUR , PROFESSIONAL PODCASTER AND SOCIAL INFLUENCER.

Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power. www.positivephil.comIn 1997, Tafa Jefferson was an undrafted free agent in the NFL signed with the Chicago Bears. He played only one year due to career-ending injuries. Jefferson used the competition he learned on the field and is now founder and CEO of a franchise system that has grown to more than 100 locations in 34 states in the U.S.In 2007, Jefferson launched Amada Senior Care, which provides both in-home care and assisted living options to the ever-growing senior population. As a franchisor, Amada offers non-medical in-home care franchises as a business opportunity for those interested in purchasing a franchise. He launched the business with his co-founder, Chad Fotheringham, after his mother, who worked in the senior care field, suggested Jefferson consider opening a business assisting seniors.RAPID FRANCHISE GROWTH RATE The growth of Amada and the number of franchises it has partnered with is remarkable. Statistically, only one out of five startup franchises reach 100+ locations after more than eight years of franchising—meaning that Amada hit the 100th location mark after 11 years in business but in only six years of franchising,Jefferson attributes this success to his approach to business as a “corporate athlete.” The franchise also offers key differentiators, such as Amada’s proprietary technology that allows loved ones to monitor tasks completed on a daily basis, and streamlines the claims process when dealing with various insurance providers.With the caregiver category being the fastest growing job in America (second only to Certified Nursing Assistant), coupled with the instability of health care, the government pulling back on reimbursements and hospitals being penalized for patient recidivism, Jefferson sees the success of Amada exploding over the next five to 10 years.Jefferson also has a focus on bringing more women and minorities into Amada ownership. He feels the owner network would benefit greatly from being more diverse. The senior care business is rated in the top five most profitable franchise sectors, and annual expenditures for home care top the $70 billion mark.Yet, for Jefferson, it’s not just about the money. For him, senior care is about community. Taking care of the elderly, assisting families in their time of need, and delivering jobs to African American communities, “right in our own backyards.”As for what’s next for Amada Senior Care, on May 30, Amada announced closing a deal to become sponsor and exclusive in-home care provider for the NFL Alumni, an association of about 5,000 former National Football League players, coaches, staffers, cheerleaders, and family members.Jefferson’s advice for business owners considering franchising their business: Don’t do it for the money! While collecting franchise fees and royalties seems like a gold mine, it takes a lot of resources to run a successful franchise network that is growing and thriving. Live your passion and purpose, and the money will come (he admitted this sounds cliche, but he would do this for free). Continue to see yourself as a small business owner and always do what’s right for your employees, clients, and franchise partners Be ready for that mental transition from working IN the business to working ON the business. Leverage tools such as dashboards, spreadsheets, KPIs, etc.Positive Phil Podcast is a daily podcast hosted by Positive Phil.
