New Model Marketing with Drew Donaldson

Andrew Chesnutt — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 04:00:08 GMT

Drew Donaldson is a serial entrepreneur, Growth Strategist, and founder of GroHaus, a new model agency designed to help exceptionally skilled professionals build and grow high-ticket businesses.

After over a decade of serving corporate America as a Marketing Consultant, Drew founded GroHaus in January 2020 on the eve of a global pandemic.

Today, just four years later, GroHaus has helped hundreds of clients grow to and through their first six and seven figures.

Andrew Chesnutt — Tue, 02 Jul 2024 12:01:18 GMT

Alphonso James was a 17-year-old child in 1985 when he was arrested and falsely convicted of 1st Degree Intentional Homicide for the murder of a man he’d never seen or met. After a brief two-day trial, he was sentenced to Life plus 5 years in prison. Although he was physically confined, Alphonso found freedom and liberation within himself. He went from a 3rd grade reading level to earning degrees in theology and culinary arts and authoring a memoir. Alphonso worked faithfully and with courageous belief on his own process of inner healing, and today he walks in a hard-earned spirit of love and forgiveness. With tireless persistence, and the work of the Wisconsin Innocence Project, Alphonso was finally freed in 2017 after 32 years of confinement for a crime he did not commit. Besides righting the wrong of his conviction once and for all, Alphonso is committed to inspiring others to break free of the prisons within themselves and pursue their own journey of healing.

The Author's Midwife with Anita Henderson

Andrew Chesnutt — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 05:00:07 GMT

Entrepreneurship wasn’t Anita’s goals list early in her career. She wanted the professional title, the corner office with the window, the assistant right outside her door, the fat paycheck, the expense account, and all the other benefits of corporate success. She got all that, then got burned out. When an unexpected opportunity landed in her lap, she jumped at it. Entrepreneurship called out to her loud and clear. That was more than twenty-five years ago.

Since then, she has started two companies (one a partnership), written nine books, and dipped her toe back into corporate a few times before finally retiring from the 9-to-5 more than a decade ago. Anita has also hosted a radio show, an internet TV program, and a podcast.

Known as The Author’s Midwife, she now enjoys guiding C-suite execs and seasoned entrepreneurs to write, publish, and leverage their books to position themselves as authorities. As an author coach and book publishing strategist, she shares the secrets to writing and publishing a bestselling and award-worthy book through her Write Your Life Author Coaching Program.

She is the author of Becoming the Minimalist Entrepreneur: Lessons Learned From My Journey to Work Less, Earn More, and Play More. Her greatest joy as a business owner is learning from her mistakes and failures. There have been many, which means she’s learned a lot. But the growth and rewards have been instrumental in making her the leader and the minimalist entrepreneur she is today.

He is a certified strength and conditioning specialist through the NSCA and holds numerous other certifications in human performance fields. Jim Goetz's expertise is in the advancement of human performance and utilizes biohacking to do so.

He has coached a variety of athletes in strength and conditioning, ranging from high school national wrestling champions, NCAA Division I football, NFL, MLB, MLS, USA Gymnastics, Olympic Athletes, NCAA Womens basketball, professional boxing and NPC womens figure. “By living as a champion in all aspects of life, one may win this title as opposed to haphazardly chasing down this idea. In order to accomplish this we must give 110% in all we do- No excuses, no exceptions. While being a champion in all aspects of life is not easy and it is far easier to complete tasks the wrong way; it's best to do things the right way as these habits breed success”.

Jim Goetz has published numerous articles ranging from ADHD to the advancements of understanding nutrition and how the human physiology was designed to utilize them. Goetz believes the most accepted theories are not always the prime methods for which the human body was designed to function. “It is only through questioning and extensive research that we may find the right answers to which may at times be paradoxical”.

From TV to Pajamas with Genevieve Piturro

Andrew Chesnutt — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 05:00:07 GMT

"One woman came up with her own idea to honor her calling, and her name is Genevieve Piturro." -Oprah Winfrey

My journey has taken me from a little girl's question in a homeless shelter to Oprah to boardrooms and stages across America to talk about Purpose and the Human Connection.

In 2000 I left my job as a successful TV marketing executive when a sudden inner voice challenged my direction, and I dramatically altered my path. I found my purpose when a question from a 6-year-old girl in a shelter changed everything. I picked up a pair of pajamas and built a nationally known organization and named it Pajama Program. This year the Program celebrates 23 years having delivered 8 million pajamas and books to date through 42 chapters across the U.S.

Going from corporate executive to nonprofit founder wasn’t easy, but after massive fear and doubt, countless sleepless nights, and tears that could fill the Atlantic, I overcame challenges I thought would ruin everything. I met each turn with faith, determination, and moxie. I found and powered my purpose, and the chain of events set in motion by that little girl can only be attributed to the magic of the human connection.

In 2020 I passed the baton of Executive Director to start my next company. I now teach, speak (TEDx), write, and consult on how vital Purpose and The Human Connection are in leadership, team building, and the bottom line. I created the Purpose ACER program, inspiring companies in all sectors to embrace The Power of Purpose and The Human Connection to Be a Voice that Moves the World. My personalized keynotes embrace the life and leadership lessons from my 7x award winning Amazon bestseller, Purpose, Passion, and Pajamas: How to Transform Your Life, Embrace the Human Connection and Lead with Meaning. My second book, Purpose, Passion and Moxie: How to Lead the Way and Leave a Legacy, is a workbook to help you start a nonprofit from scratch to success.

I have been interviewed on OPRAH, TODAY, GMA, The Early Show, CNN, Fox & Friends, The Wall Street Journal and more, and I rang the Nasdaq Bell in 2016.

Andrew Chesnutt — Tue, 05 Nov 2024 10:00:08 GMT

Meet Jeff and Mindy! Dream Big. This dynamic married duo of more than 25 years, revolutionized fitness in the early 2000s, launching the sport of natural bodybuilding and its spinoffs: fitness, fitness model, muscle model and physique competitions. Their efforts birthed a niche industry that thrives today.

Do Ridiculous . Determined to provide a platform for ordinary people to become their extra ordinary, Jeff and Mindy produced the FAME World Tour, created the World Natural Sports Organization (WNSO), published international wellness magazines, established a top-tier fitness talent agency, and produced a TV series featuring them in multiple countries, including a #1 hit in Canada on TSN.

Plot Twist. Jeff and Mindy realized that looking like a superhero doesn’t mean feeling like one. Impressive physiques and model appearances alone do not equate to happiness.

They Did It Once . So Jeff & Mindy embarked on a quest to redirect their efforts. They spent a decade gathering wisdom from experts in happiness, wellbeing, and self-love. Through their own transformations, mindset shifts, and heightened awarenesses, they became equipped to course correct. They Are Doing It Again . Launching it off is a series of books embedded with messages of empowerment and expert-guided actions designed to help readers notably improve how they think, function, and feel.

Laugh Your Way to Happiness. Seems Amazon agrees that laughter and joy are linked. That’s because The Ridiculous soared to #1 in Comedy AND HAPPINESS! Note: while laugh-out-loud, the underlying messages do run deep. ( The Ridiculous also got a #1 ranking in Self-Help & Psychology Humor.) So Let’s Bring Happy Back .

Dream Big. Our hope is to celebrate, validate, recognize and reward all breakthroughs, transformations, creations, proud 'ME' moments, and triumphs, while you discover wholesome products, proven methods, and authentic role models among you.

Do Ridiculous. Share your “Dream Big. Do Ridiculous. Achieve Remarkable.” Story. If your share inspires others to achieve their remarkable, you can earn ridiculous rewards!

Advancing Technology in Fitness with Conrad Sanchez

Andrew Chesnutt — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 05:00:07 GMT

Establishing Bodybuzz on the foundation of integrity and a whole lot of passion, I am a multi-certified personal trainer who enjoys every moment of giving back to others what they value the most – time, energy, and sustainable results.As the Director of Education and Technology driven to help others attain their unique versions of success via EMS, I bring with me an extensive 14+ year background involving (but not limited to) 1:1 and group personal training, rehabilitation, strength training, injury prevention, and the art of instilling positive mindset shifts. Even more, love being able to leverage that dynamicity to not just help others gain safer, effective workouts in half the time, but do so all while ensuring they feel confident and empowered as they navigate this reformative chapter of their lives.

As a native of France and Spain and spending a year in both Berlin and London and some time in NYC before making Newport Beach California my home, I bring with me a strong cultural and polyglot background (fluent in Spanish, French, English, and German) in conjunction with higher education. To date, I hold a degree in Languages Applied to Business, a Master's in Management and Cross-Cultural Negotiations from The University of Bordeaux, France, and graduated from The American Academy of Personal Training in New York City in the top 5% of my class. More recently earned a Master’s in Kinesiology from A.T. Still University. In addition, earned ample certifications, including EMS training by XBody, Miha-Bodytec (Gluckerkolleg), E-Fit, and Wiemspro along with personal training certifications ACSM and NASM.

Over the last 14+ years, I've gained experience in the fitness and wellness industries, primarily working with people with diabetes, injuries, and other chronic conditions. Part of that stems from my years of working alongside various industry leaders and mentors, and part from my hunger to continue learning on my own.

That said, my client’s successes are my successes, I value progression, and every effort that I do revolves around seeing others exceed their own expectations. However, when I am not working, you can often find me being a lifelong learner who attends as many seminars, conferences, and fitness workshops as possible, plays sports (especially basketball), explores new coffee shops, and frequently travels to new places and cultures.

Engineers and Entrepreneurs with Lane Kawaoka

Andrew Chesnutt — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:00:08 GMT

I kept a big secret for 12 years as a Licensed Professional (PE) Civil/Industrial Engineer, during that time I had been quietly building a rental property portfolio. I stared investing in 2009 in rainy Seattle, being a ramen-eating cheapo I was able to buy a property early right after college. After discovering the difference between ‘Cashflow Investing’ and ‘Appreciation Investing (i.e. gambling / speculating)’… I moved my portfolio into 11 single family rentals in Birmingham, Atlanta, Indianapolis, and Pennsylvania. Today, I am investing in syndications, which invest in Class C & B Multi-Family Apartment, RV Parks, mobile homes, and assisted living facilities because of this Nation’s demand for affordable housing – not rich-people Class-A assets. My mission is to help regular people into good deals that were once only accessible to the rich. The passive income from investing in stabilized rental properties made it possible for me to move back home. Today I help people get started with my 2x best selling books and podcast. Annoyed by the bogus real estate education programs out there (that take money from people who don’t have it in the first place), I set out to make this free website to help other hard-working professionals, the shrinking middle-class. I hope to dispel the Wall-Street dogma of traditional wealth-building, and offer an alternative to “garbage” investments in the 401K/mutual funds that only make the insiders rich.
