In this episode of the Authorpreneur podcast, I talk with Efren Delgado, author of The Opposite is True, Discover Your Unexpected Enemies, Allies, and Purpose Through the Eyes of Counterintuitive Psychology The Opposite is True explains the 'Counterintuitive Psychology' perspective in a cumulatively layered format, using anecdotes from Efren's personal and professional life, other prominent biographies, engaging fables and classic literature to expose the counterintuitive patterns of human behavior that you will unexpectedly recognize. As a former FBI Special Agent with 25 years of national security, law enforcement, and private protection experience, Efren has added author and speaker to his threat assessment and consultation profession. His advanced behavioral studies in graduate school and at an FBI specialized unit near Quantico complimented his work experiences in counterintelligence, counterterrorism, and violent civil rights investigations. Efren's years of examining and combating spies, predators, and tyrants extends beyond criminality, revealing how true strength lies in humility—not oppression. The Opposite is True will translate your trials and "failures" into your unique calling and help you discover a practical life beyond mediocrity. I really think you're going to enjoy this episode.

Bill is no stranger to failure in business. After over 26 flops, he finally found a system that led to phenomenal success as a mobile notary and loan signing agent for the mortgage industry. All those lessons learned, when applied to this business, resulted in a lifestyle of flexibility and unlimited income potential. On top of that, there was a renewed sense of pride for working in a role, as a Notary Public, that is often the last line of defense against mortgage and identity fraud. Now, as one of the leading trainers in the country, Bill’s Notary Coach brand and the Sign & Thrive Notary Training Course and Community teaches thousands of notaries how to build a business and lifestyle that makes people’s dreams come true. A self-proclaimed “nerd,” Bill loves to read non-fiction, personal development books. In fact, he’s what some would call a “personal development junkie.” He spent the first half of his life accumulating knowledge from these books, workshops, seminars, and coaches, but not getting the results he desired. In fact, he got the opposite result! After going broke multiple times, he finally took a “results inventory” evaluating why he had not achieved anything substantive, even after being so committed to learning. What came to him in his research is what he calls the greatest epiphany of his life- knowledge without consistent implementation is practically worthless. As common sense as that may sound, we know that common sense does not always equal common practice. Bill dove deep into how to execute effectively, going down the rabbit hole of human behavior, and finally landing on the power of habits and routine. Habits and routine are...everything. Now, the second half of his life is committed to the habits and routines that deepen relationships, create prolific high-quality output, and ensure a lifestyle of peace of mind and raving success. Part of Bill’s dream life is to travel the world and write books. This is where he will share that adventure with you. I really think that you’re going to enjoy this episode.

Through trials and tribulations, downfalls and triumphs, Amanda had been traveling through life with a set of values that didn’t necessarily belong to her, and wasn’t aware of their misplacement until she had had one too many breakdowns and heart wrenching dramas fall within the pages of her life’s story.

In this episode of The Authorpreneur Podcast, I talk with Tzachi Ozeri, the author of Monk vs. Monkey Mind: Becoming Aware of Your Thoughts to Manifest the Life of Your Dreams. Tzachi doesn’t regard himself as a Guru or a know all. His ideas and life approach were forged by living life to the max and trying to make sense of it all. His writing is honest with no excess or words without a real meaning. For 38 years, Tzachi felt lost; he then started looking for how he got to where he was, and changed his focus from the 'why' to the 'how' to help him reprogram his subconscious and create new habits for a new reality. He realized how he inherited his struggle with addiction from his parents, which further led to him struggling with relationships and having a consistent, stable roof over his head.  One of those times he became homeless, and was sleeping in a van, overthinking his situation. He realized that he was blaming everyone else but himself for getting to this stage. He looked at himself in the mirror and realized the apple didn't fall far from the tree. His struggle became his passion, and he uncovered multiple ways to overcome his personal struggles and heal his past. His books share his story and he hopes to inspire and help those who struggle to find their path. If you like a good story of self-discovery and redemption from someone who turned their story into a book, then I really think that you’re going to enjoy this episode.

Cindy received her Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from the University of Denver and in 1986 founded Work Options Group, a leading provider of Work/Life solutions for employees of Fortune 500 companies. She built and led that company over twenty years until intuition told her it was time to sell. She put the business up for sale just days before the beginning of the financial crisis of 2008, sold it to a Fortune 100 company before the end of the year, and stayed on as its CEO into 2009. After the sale, Cindy used her more than forty years of business experience—including private enterprise, retail, nonprofit, and government sector work—to start two new ventures: Nxt Business Coaching and CC Blue Ranch. The combination of these two led to the creation of a unique coaching experience, “The Immersion,” where clients join Cindy at her ranch for a two-day deep dive into formulating a plan for the next transformational phase of their lives—what Cindy calls “Finding Your Nxt.” And, of course, Cindy uses her book and author status to grow her business and help more people.
