Katie Selby began her extraordinary education journey at the age of three, which continued through high school. She was diagnosed with language impairment at the age of three. At that age, she communicated by using gestures and pointing to meet her needs. She didn’t say her first sentence until She was 5. To this day, she wishes she knew what her first complete sentence was. She doesn’t remember, and neither do her parents. After she started kindergarten, she was diagnosed with learning disabilities. Her learning disabilities are in reading comprehension, written expression, and math. She takes time to understand what she’s reading and sometimes needs clarification from others. As she reads a book, she takes her time to comprehend what she reads. She also has her phone nearby to look up word definitions. With her written expression, developing the right words to form sentences takes her time. With her math disability, she needs lots of support to understand math concepts, especially algebra. If she didn’t understand the assignments in elementary school, she typically waited for her teachers to notice her facial expressions. She was afraid to ask for help. She didn’t believe that asking for clarification would help. She didn’t learn self-advocacy skills until she was in high school. That was when She learned to ask for clarification if she didn’t understand an assignment or test question. Through this learning process, she identified others who adapted to her learning style, leading to her getting a college degree. She proved her naysayers wrong.

David Pearce is a Doctor of Dental Surgery who started a dental business from nearly scratch but then had to decide to sell that business or have his young family and marriage split. After selling his practice, he and his wife moved from Syracuse, NY, and divided their time between my wife's "dream come true" newly completed Florida contemporary beachfront home and our custom Montana mountain home. During this relocation, he started another dental practice. During this time, he experienced the 3-month premature birth of their son and the emotional roller coaster of all the disabilities that could have led to their son’s death. Later, he helplessly watched from afar when he learned his son who had survived the pre-mature birth stepped on an improvised explosive device (IED) in Afghanistan. That led to emotional trauma and associated medical issues while he was on the other side of the world. Later, his biological daughter experienced gender dysphoria resulting in her being transgendered. That caused parental pain that accompanies watching a child suffer with little to nothing the parent can do except provide unconditional support and love. Since then, he has authored two books and begun collaborating with clients to share with them the secrets and processes he learned through his business experiences. You can learn more about Dr. David Pearce at https://www.ultimatesuccess.dentist/ while getting access to his two books.

Marko Kasic is a profile of learning that education can come in many forms. "You’re lucky to have been educated in London - don't waste your chance at a better life." He heard this from his parents, who sacrificed their lives when they moved to the UK. Marko got a corporate banking position following graduation - not by following rules, but by breaking them. After six months in this position, he learned two things quickly; 1) He does not ever want his life/career to only be about money, and 2) He has the skills to make as much money as he wants. People like Richard Branson, Seth Godin, and Napoleon Hill (amongst others) inspired him to a sense of adventure and meaning. He moved to the Philippines where he volunteered his skills for three months in the slums of Manila. That experience, while not bringing an income, gave him an education on life, poverty, potential, and purpose. By fate, he witnessed the world's strongest typhoon that compelled him to stay and help people who had lost absolutely everything - except their humility and sense of humor. During this time, he observed corruption by leaders and other events that inspired him to start the FundLife organization. For two years and with no income, he learned valuable life lessons. His parents cut him off when he said he would stay in the Philippines. He was alone without feeling lonely. Through this, he learned that isolation can be a gift when you have a dream and conviction to pursue that dream. His story is not one of great skill, ability, connection, or opportunity. Rather, he operated on faith and commitment to what he believed. Marko is also a resolute runner and a child refugee who was displaced during the Ex-Yugoslavia War.

Paul Zolman has created a new way to demonstrate the principles of love languages. It's a profound way to learn all five love languages to give them away. By giving them away, your vision will improve so that you can see them coming your way and respond appropriately. Paul developed a system for training young children in this love-giving system. Spoiler alert: it's a game where everyone wins. Paul is the international bestselling author of The Role of Love, but God is the author of love. In His wisdom, He placed us in various circumstances that require us to find our way back to His pure love. God worked through Paul’s childhood experience of the opposite of love to transform the austere beginning and distaste it formed in him to create a method that changed his life of anger into loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became his preferred love style because of the regularity demonstrated in his family. He wanted a better life for himself and those within his influence. That is why he created a paradigm shift that works. In his book, you’ll find what helped him move from a childhood boot camp of abuse to someone who loves everyone and can find good about anyone in any circumstance.
