In this episode, Greg Barnsdale and I talk about career as a financial advisor, where he would encourage strongly to people the importance of getting their affairs in order, before he had his own brush with potential death after ringing in his left ear led to being diagnosed with a large brain tumor. Greg shares guidance and tips in this episode that are invaluable to anyone who has not yet done their preparations for death.  It is the one thing we will all do and the one thing most hide from!   Greg Barnsdale is an unusual undertaker. After years of stressing to others, ‘Get your final affairs in order’ and finally publishing a book to inspire people, he was diagnosed with a large brain tumor. Faced with a death sentence, he opted for surgery. He’s now emerged with an extremely compelling message, shared by few others. His perspectives are unique as a Certified Financial Planner, Certified Executor Advisor, and hospice volunteer. As a death doula who has published a best-selling book about planning ahead, his message is gaining solid traction. His claims include the fact that end-of-life planning helps reduce the stress of aging, improves family harmony, leaves survivors more emotionally / financially resilient, increases social capital and improves court efficiency. This ultimately bolsters the economy.  He believes Confronting the reality of death also helps us live more fully.     I am your host, Marci Nettles.

During his 12 years in prison, Jon, with the help of a loving God, changed himself and went to work to help change the system and the minds and opportunities of others who were now labeled felons.  Jon Antonucci had an early entrepreneurial start as a child and an amazing level of success by early adulthood, the last place that anyone expected Jon to be was jail. Yet, at 19 years old, as the handcuffs clicked onto his wrists, that is where Jon found himself being taken. His arrest forced him to face the fact that, at his core, he was not nearly as successful as it appeared outwardly. Over the course of 12 years of incarceration, Jon was able to address his own character flaws, grow in all areas of his personhood, and assist others in their own journeys of rehabilitation and recovery. His redemption story has continued in the free world as he serves in his church, volunteers in his community, adds value in his career, and shares his inspiring story of redemption with others.    I am your host, Marci Nettles.

In this episode, Myron Welik (THE JackHammer) and I talk about how a few poor decisions led to him losing his multi-million-dollar business in 2002 and left him paralyzed with self-doubt and depression. Even through this catastrophic experience, Myron refused to give up and his tenacity led to him being a “16-year over-night success!”   Myron Welik is known as a “Jackhammer” and has been in the business of making deals happen for 40 years. He is the host of the Jackhammer podcast and author of “The Jackhammer Effect''. His insatiable drive and resilience have been a hallmark of his long and successful career, where he lives by the saying “Never give up, stay passionate, and work hard because it’s never too late.”  Myron identified and brokered the deal that brought Heidi Klum and New Balance together, leading to the creation of the HKNB brand. He pitched products of his own design on the Home Shopping Network to 40 million viewers. In addition – He has negotiated strategic partnerships with well-known brands such as the New England Patriots, Lacost, FIFA, Madison Square Gardens, Radio City Music Hall, and Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum.  In 2018 he met a young real estate entrepreneur that impressed him, and Myron relentlessly pursued an opportunity for them to work together. By 2020, the partnership was in place. Three and half years later, his consulting work resulted in over $40 Million Dollars of real estate investments.  Today Myron is 70 going on 50 and nothing can stop him. He is proof that age is no barrier to reinventing yourself.    I am your host, Marci Nettles. I have had a lifetime of opportunities where I had the choice to Breakdown or Breakthrough.
