I asked this week’s guest - my dear friend Ozzie - to send his Bio and he sent me the following.

You definitely don’t want to miss meeting Cousin Ozzie this Wednesday, September 14th, at 7:00 pm EDT.

He will NEVER let you down. 🥰

“I am Uncle Grandpa Ozzie. I am a huge people-person. I do my best to remind everyone I am blessed to meet that they are worthy a n.v d that they ARE enough.

Early on I spent several years being a for-hire "machine whisperer." I designed, sold, and integrated custom-made hardware and software solutions for various manufacturers and industries.

I was a valued team member at Applicote Associates, IBM, Citrix, Microsoft, General Foods, RJR Nabisco, etc.

I am a life long learner and one of my passions is to educate business people who are looking to grow their business, to weave love, kindness, and compassion into the brand's DNA. I am a student of what works.

Nothing satisfies more than helping my clients find opportunities to do awesome things. It's fantastic! I am blessed & lucky to participate.

My life has been challenged by traumatic experiences. I lost most of my right hand when an explosive detonated as I was holding it, I had a massive heart attack at the age of 44, and finally in 2014 I had a stroke which helped to take down my life.

After the stroke, I pivoted towards educating families on how to deal with an unexpected situation. I have collected my experiences and focused on decoding which methods have worked the best for me to heal over the years.

I am an avid reader. I am formally studying Buddhism. I am a practicing meditator. I study world cultures in my quest to understand and appreciate the Wisdoms of our species.

When I'm not working, I am sharpening my skills by reading, producing art, music, and enjoying conversations with my sons, family members, and friends. I love walking, exercising, and exploring whatever city I am in. I am very much a kid at heart: Life fills me with wonder.

I love meeting new people and learning new things, so please feel free to say hello and share a story with me.

I am thrilled, and truly blessed to be a part of the Burned Ambition and the Human family!”
