However, Dr. Burns pushed through the difficulties. Despite being told as a teenager that he would never graduate high school due to his dyslexia and lack of focus, he went back to school and graduated college, earning a Doctorate degree.

After overcoming homelessness, Dr. Burns continued to face economic struggles that drove him to work tirelessly to achieve his dreams. Refusing to give up, Dr. Burns took on multiple jobs, working long hours before realizing he needed to take control of his own destiny through entrepreneurship. 

He launched his entrepreneurial career by starting Valor Cleaning Services. Enduring countless closed doors and rejection, he tirelessly knocked on businesses to offer his services. After a month of making no money, a dealership took a chance on him and allowed Dr. Burns to work for free for two days to prove himself. From this opportunity, he secured over 175 clients, and within just a couple of years, Valor Cleaning Services was generating over $275,000 annually and later sold the company for $12.4 million.

However, for Dr. Burns, it has always been about more than just money. He realized the hardships he endured provided him unique insights into struggles faced by many. It also helped him discover the drive and perseverance within to overcome difficult times. This fueled his purpose - to motivate and inspire others to unlock their true potential.

From Chapter 7: What is High-Conscious Leadership?

"Though rare, high-conscious leaders are found across multiple sectors as well as within the realms of activism. They are the exquisite embodiment of contemplation and catalytic action.

Historical examples include Albert Einstein, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Maya Angelou, and Desmond Tutu. Present-day examples include Arlan Hamilton, Arianna Huffington, Tammy Duckworth, Greta Thunberg, Yvon Chouinard (Patagonia), Hamdi Ulukaya (Chobani, La Colombe), Leena Nair (Chanel), Safra Catz (Oracle), Ursula Burns (Xerox), Sophia Leonora Mendelsohn (SAP), Christiana Figueres (Global Optimism), Elizabeth Wathuti (Green Generation Initiative), Arman Anatürk (HackCapital), Peggy Liu (JUCCCE), Pia Heidenmark Cook (IKEA), Steve Pemberton (Workhuman), Laila Tarraf (Allbirds), Vandana Shiva (Navdanya), Malala Yousafzai, Rihanna, Barbara Corcoran, Oprah Winfrey, and Michelle Obama.

By the way, it should not be lost on us that most of these high-conscious leaders are women and people of color.

Typically those who have faced significant adversity early on, or who have come into the world on fire, coerce change."

 We are a faith based, mission driven company whose focus goes well beyond just selling life insurance. We break generational financial curses, keep families together so they don’t fight over assets left behind. We provide “LIFE” insurance that you can use while you are LIVING in the event you get sick called “LIVING BENEFITS” which I wish someone would of told my mother about when getting life insurance. You can also “Become Your Own Bank” with Life Insurance and set up tax free retirements.

   I was a former High School teacher and PSAL Championship basketball coach for 15 years in Brooklyn, NYC before getting my Real Estate Brokers License in 2013 until present. I have a 7 year old son and recently relocated to Connecticut. I have sold many homes in my real estate career and realized that many families sold their homes because they didn’t have the proper life insurance plan in place or was underinsured to prevent their homes from being sold which caused families to grow apart or fight over the home.

   Let’s get together and put a life plan in place for you that will protect, prosper, and prepare you for the future!

   “You know, a man’s life is the most precious thing in the world, isn’t it? So isn’t it odd that a man will insure EVERYTHING but his own life?”

What is the significance of our existence?

In 2018, I entered a local city council race with the sole purpose of contributing to my community’s betterment.

Despite my vigorous campaigning efforts, including securing endorsements, canvassing, and purchasing campaign signs, my bid for the council seat ended in defeat, leaving me feeling disheartened and disappointed.

However, this experience allowed me to recognize the numerous challenges and hurdles involved in running a successful campaign, particularly the importance of delivering an effective message that resonates with a broad audience.

During the same period, I was also working at a vocational school, where I witnessed firsthand the difficulties of marketing and increasing enrollment. Although the school had hired a digital marketing agency, the results were lackluster, with high costs and poor outcomes becoming the norm.

These experiences have taught me that educational institutions, like political candidates, require purposeful and personalized approaches to messaging.

As a result, I founded Yamaro83, a company dedicated to providing tailored digital marketing solutions to educational institutions. By focusing on a personalized student approach, I can help schools communicate their message effectively and efficiently to their target audience, resulting in increased enrollment and overall success.

Ron left the Army in 2005 and moved to St Louis to be a father to his newborn twin sons, Ethan and Austin. He accepted a position with a large St. Louis based general contractor where he learned the role of a construction project manager.  His ability to effectively break down complicated issues into easy-to-understand decisions was noticed by a client in 2007 and was offered a position as a construction owner's representative. He accepted and quickly became a trusted advisor to multiple clients including Pfizer, Scottrade and Logan College of Chiropractic. He was laid off in 2009 as a result of the recession.

Ron's personal and professional life spiraled downward very quickly in 2009. After being laid off, he was diagnosed with major depressive disorder stemming from his time in the military, lost vision in his right eye, turned to alcohol to deal with the pain, and ultimately lost his home to foreclosure. Nine months later, Ron finally began to put his life back together through VA counseling, prayer, and support from his family and friends. 

In 2009, Ron began a new career as a travelling construction manager responsible for overseeing projects for his new client, Kellogg's, at their production plants all over the country. He spent the next 5 years travelling nearly 300 days a year for work and spending the remaining time with his sons.  Ron resigned his position in 2014 and became a private contractor in hopes of finding a better work/life balance. Despite his resignation from his previous employer, Kellogg representatives continued to seek his leadership and eventually convinced him to start his own business in 2016.

Despite becoming an entrepreneur through nontraditional means and without a formal business education, Ron quickly showed a high level of business acumen and grew his company nearly 50% per year for the next 5 years.  Perry Construction Management, LLC has made the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Privately Held Businesses List the last 2 years as well as Best Place to Work. His servant leadership towards his clients has earned the trust of several major manufacturers around the country including Kellogg's, Keebler, Ferrara, Clif Bar, and Pepsico.

Ron's true passion is helping others. He has used his business success to drastically improve the lives of others. He spearheaded efforts to build a rainwater collection system for a small village and purchased a generator for an elementary school of 2,200 students in Kenya. He also set up a charitable group providing gently used clothes and toys for children in the Dominican Republic. Additionally, he provides affordable homes and college scholarships for those in need in his impoverished hometown of West Frankfort, IL. He is building a new staffing vertical in his current business in order to be able to give more to those in need. 

Ron married his longtime girlfriend, Lauren Singer, in March 2022, after two years of COVID delays. They reside in Smyrna, GA

He also prepares successful sales by educating business owners and their advisors on how to drive value before the buyer even enters the picture. Buyer or sellers can call Albert at 516-626-2211 or email to Albert@KensingtonCompany.com. 

His educational videos and posts can be viewed on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/alberthakim/

Branden is also an expert in marketing strategies for the acquisition or exit of an eCommerce business, and he is passionate about coaching and training others to success.

Robert himself attended public schools and received welfare, but he persevered, going from bankruptcy to launching and starting and leading successful multimillion-dollar tech startups, founding retail and entertainment ventures, financial investments, and other endeavors with over $50 MM under management.

He firmly believes that anyone, regardless of their background, has the potential to achieve financial freedom and create positive change in their communities by promoting economic inclusiveness.

This allows business owners to be able to freely transition OUT of their business while it still converts leads into sales in the background.

While working as an engineer, Anh realized that if he continued to trade time for money, he would never be able to retire early. He decided to find a way out and was introduced to the Financial Industry by a friend. He was amazed by the simple yet powerful financial concepts that he had never been taught in school. He began his journey as a financial professional in early 2007, helping many Vietnamese families understand the importance of saving, investing, and planning for the future.

Anh worked full time as an engineer and part-time in the financial industry for the first four years. He fell in love with what he was doing and made the bold decision to leave engineering and work full time in the financial industry in January 2011, after his dad passed away. He was 31 years old at the time. Anh worked hard for the next four years and was fortunate enough to have his own agency of 100+ license professionals across the USA with multiple 7-figure revenue annually by the age of 35.

What shocked Anh the most was that many people who own a business and even those who have a good job, such as pharmacists, nurses, doctors, and engineers in their 50s and 60s, do not fully understand how money works. Anh met many people who had hundreds of thousands of dollars sitting in the bank earning less than 1%.

Anh believes that we all work hard for money, and it makes sense to learn how to make money work hard for us.

Lis Best is the secret weapon for women who are changing the world. Specifically, she is an executive coach for women in the impact space, founder of the Girls Club mastermind, and host of the Women Changing the World podcast.

In her 10+ years in the corporate sustainability world, Lis watched two things happen: one, she saw amazing woman after amazing woman land her dream job and completely burn herself out (spoiler alert: this happened to her, too). And two, she saw time and time again that the impact that companies were having on the world wasn't dictated by what they "should" be doing - it was dictated by how effective a change agent the person leading their program was.

So in early 2020 (right before the pandemic), Lis took the leap and started her own coaching and consulting business to help other women make their sustainability careers more personally sustainable by leading with mindfulness and moxie. Today she has helped hundreds of women launch impact-focused businesses, land and excel in their dream jobs, and enhance their personal brands.

I like to tell people that New Jersey raised me but Texas paid me. After I graduated from Rutgers University New Jersey with a major in Computer Information Systems, I couldn’t get a job in the tech industry.

I searched the entire Tri-state area looking for a job in tech. But no company was hiring. Hence I packed my bags and moved to Texas where I noticed it was full of opportunities. First opportunity came in the form of an insurance job, where I sold non-standard property & casualty auto insurance to high-risk drivers.

After several years of doing this, I sold the businesses and then decided to embark on a new journey – Corporate America. This led me down a career path in the telecommunications industry, and eventually into banking, where I was a Tech & Cyber Operational Risk Management Vice president for banks like Bank of America & JP Morgan Chase to name a few.

This wealth of insurance and risk management experience has served me well and given me the confidence and the knowledge required to become successful as I transitioned out from corporate America and into my dream job of running a highly successful exotic car rental company. I believe this wealth of knowledge has served me well and given me an edge over my peers in the industry

Al Navarro
Al co-founded Mint Advertising after 13 years in the industry. His career began at the New York outposts of Grey Direct and J. Walter Thompson Direct, where he learned “old school” direct marketing. But things really started to happen when he moved to Rapp Collins (also in New York), where he worked on ADT Home Security, Delta Air Lines, Hyatt Hotels, and Mercedes-Benz. Al’s work on the launch of the Mercedes M-Class Sport Utility Vehicle was honored with top awards in both the Caples and Addy Awards shows — and garnered response rates as high as 59%. He is probably the only agency person you will meet who has been mentioned in GQ (positively!) and Automobile magazine (twice).

Eric Schoenfeld
Before co-founding Mint, he was the VP of Business Development for Brann Worldwide in Wilton, Connecticut. Eric’s career has carried him through the ranks of some of the world’s biggest direct marketing agencies, including Rapp Collins (where, still in their mid-20s, he and Al were responsible for running over $40 million of business) and Wunderman Worldwide. He has lent his talents to clients such as ADT Security Services, Callaway Golf, Becks Beer, Sony, and the United States Postal Service.

Mint Advertising

Check out the details below:

After beating cancer in her early twenties, founder/CEO Loren Brill made it her mission to eliminate processed foods from her diet. Unable to find great tasting cookies made from clean ingredients, she developed her own. 

A note from Loren:

My story begins with a question: How do I live a full life without regrets? A few things I’ve learned since beating cancer: Try new things. Work out. Experience the world. And treat yourself.

Living a full life also meant taking control over my health, happiness and wellbeing: beginning with the food I eat every day. I cut out hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, most dairy, and anything I couldn’t pronounce. And replaced those foods with clean ones. In a very short amount of time, I felt more energetic, more alive, more me.

But as a person with a serious sweet tooth, I was frustrated with the available clean-food options. So, I made my own. And Sweet Loren’s was born.

I measure, mix and knead my heart into each Sweet Loren’s recipe. I make sure that every product we make is accessible and made from only clean, Non-GMO, gluten-free and plant-based ingredients. And, most importantly, every product we make tastes incredibly good.

Because we all deserve to live a full life filled with yum.

Our editorial team members have been educators, certified public accountants, insurance agents, lawyers, credit advisors, investment advisors, and of course, small business owners.

People hire Lee for their various communications needs because they want someone professional who will cut through the bullshit and help them communicate easily, efficiently and effectively.

Lee doe this using the journalism principles of honesty, accuracy, clarity and brevity in all writing and editing. It started in high school when he uncovered a ballot-stuffing incident, resulting in the election being declared null and void. It continued in newspapers when people saw he had talents for asking the right open-ended questions and engaging in active, empathetic and sympathetic listening.

Lee's professional writing and editing goes beyond asking the standard who/what/where/when/how/why queries. There’s an emotional component to it. People find they can trust him to handle their sensitive information. They tell him, “I can’t believe I’m telling you this,” and it leads to better communication and collaboration because Lee shows care, sensitivity, understanding and validation. Then he tells their stories with all the integrity, care and craftsmanship they deserve. His writing and editing personalizes their stories so they feel he's telling it in their voices.

Since 1990, clients have trusted Lee with their information in a way that easily, efficiently and effectively tells their stories, informs their target audiences/demographics, sells their products, and states the desired message so they can accomplish their goals.

Chris enrolled at Penn State University based on the stellar reputation of their Turfgrass Science program. While there, he spent Summers working in Turfgrass Pathology research, and at a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course in the Pittsburgh, PA area. In 1994 he received a B.S. Degree in Turfgrass Science and returned home to Connecticut as the Assistant Superintendent of Rockrimmon Country Club in Stamford.

Though he had been working aggressively toward a career in Golf Course Maintenance, his own aspirations gradually shifted toward business ownership. Though he tried to stay the course he had set, entrepreneurial instincts took over and he quickly grew to dislike the daily grind of the golf course business. He left Rockrimmon to re-plan his career and soon met Peter Teed, who had been working for a local lawn care company as a manager and salesman. The two hit it off quickly and realized that they complemented each other well. In September, 1995 they incorporated their business as “GrassRoots Lawn Care, Inc.” The name was changed to Teed & Brown in August, 2004.

In addition to holding a Bachelors Degree in Turfgrass Science, Chris is a Certified Lawn Care Manager. He has appeared as a guest speaker at The University of Rhode Island, SUNY Cobleskill, Penn State University, The University of Connecticut, and at several professional conferences over the years.

Esther earned a degree in Communications from Temple University and is a graduate of the Babson College IT Leadership Development Program.  She currently lives in Lake Hopatcong, NJ.

Fast forward a few years: Chris took a job with an SEO agency where he was managing campaigns for over 30 law firms. He loved the competitiveness of the legal niche. But he hated how unethical his employer was becoming.

Time and again, he saw them put short-term revenue over lasting results. It’s no surprise that they’ve since gone out of business. Chris didn’t think SEO had to be a zero-sum game. He believed (and still do) that the easiest way to be profitable is to do what you promise. He decided to take his experience in working with law firms and build an agency that would hide nothing and give their best to every client, every time. Because like you, Chris believe reputation is everything. 

Today Chris and his team serve elite personal injury lawyers who share that same commitment to integrity and relentless drive to win. Because similar to personal injury law, there’s no prize for second page in SEO.
