MEET DAVID L. HANCOCK:

David L. Hancock founded Morgan James Publishing in 2003 and has revolutionized book publishing from the author’s standpoint.

ABOUT MORGAN JAMES PUBLISHING:

Morgan James Publishing was founded in 2003 by David L. Hancock, a mortgage banker at the time, who had been less than thrilled with the conventional book publishing process–yet pleasantly surprised by the immense power of publishing a book. Created by an Entrepreneurial Author for Entrepreneurial Authors, Morgan James became the first hybrid publisher to blend the strength, credibility, and distribution of traditional publishing with the flexibility, author involvement, and time to market of self-publishing.

SHOW DESCRIPTION

What would you do if you were diagnosed with a mystery illness, and given a variety of medical treatments and medications, which only made your condition worse? Would you simply give in and let nature take its course, or would you defy the odds and find a solution when the best-trained medical doctors could not?

ABOUT OUR GUEST -ELLE SNYDER

A student at Colorado University Boulder – and not just any student – Elle Snyder is a brain health expert, having earned her certification through the Amen Clinics Professional Brain Health Program. She is deeply focused and passionate about brain health, and specifically to ensure that today’s young adults become aware of the importance of taking care of their brains, and the simple steps they can take to maintain vibrant and healthy brains. Not satisfied with a mere certification, Elle has taken her training 10 steps forward and founded the “BUFF-BRAIN GYM” which is a student-run organization at CU Boulder where students learn more about their own brains through resources made available via the Amen Clinics. It is also a space where students share their own brain health stories via the site's blog and podcast. This resource is a first of its kind at the University level, and a model being studied at and duplicated by universities around the country.

Elle is a world traveler, who is keenly interested in learning about new cultures, and meeting people from those societies to do so helps her learn and become more in tune with who she really is. In this interview, Elle is going to share with us a little bit of her personal story which starts with being diagnosed with a mystery illness, being medically misdiagnosed and mistreated to finally discovering the solution. Elle is also a participant in the Voices of Impact Awards which of course is open to university students, and man-oh-man our judges will have a difficult time choosing the winner of the Student Impact Award.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:

The way to change the world is to change what people are talking about. And the quickest way to do that is to change what the media is talking about.

In this episode, Steve Gallegos interviews Drew Gerber, an expert on publicity, marketing, branding, and the CEO of Wasabi Publicity. In this fun and relaxed interview Drew reveals how his innate desire to live a life that makes a difference took him from a career as a chemical engineer to a career in media and publicity. We talked about his passion for foreign travel, his keen interest in making things new again by restoring old homes, and how his affliction with OCD has made him a better listener, communicator, and business leader.

 So, relax and remove all distractions because you will want to give your full attention to this interview!
