Tessa Stowe, Happiness Path Finder
Tessa Stowe wants to see a world where people know how to be happy and are happy most of the time, no matter what significant events have happened in their lives.An event or crises often causes us to "wake up" and realize that being as happy as we can be is urgent. The event or crisis that delivers this wake-up call could be something like the loss of a loved one, divorce/separation, illness, loss of a job, a financial crisis, or a natural disaster. Or it could be waking up one morning asking, "Is this it? Surely there must be more to life. What did I miss since I'm not as happy as I thought I'd be by now?"Tessa's goal is for no one to miss out on being as happy as they can be because they don't know how to be, or they are following the wrong formula. For many years she was following the wrong formula for happiness. She was doing all those things you are "supposed to do." She ended up being busy, stressed out and unhappy, and it almost cost her everything.Join our interview with Happiness Path Finder, Tessa Stowe, and discover:- What you can do to be happier- How to fit this happiness regimen into an already full day- How to get yourself to do those things that you know will make you happy- How you can access the benefits of happiness- Happiness is a learnable skillTessa Stowe is the founder of "Saying YES to Happiness" and helps those who are ready to move forward and be happy after a significant event has sucked happiness out of them. Tessa does this by teaching quick, easy, fun, and effective happiness practices that you can fit into your day.Tessa is NOT a counselor, a therapist or a psychologist in happiness. Instead, her happiness expertise comes from two main areas: real life and extracting the gems from mountains of information and research by happiness scientists and scholars.For more information about Tessa and the "How to Reclaim Happiness Roadmap" mentioned in the call, visit https://www.SayingYestoHappiness.com/msmMain Street Mavericks Radio with Donna Gunterhttps://businessinnovatorsradio.com/main-street-mavericks-radio/

Steve Kiges, Co-Founder of The Coach Training Academy on 2-Day ICF Accredited Fast Track Professional Coach Training
In this episode, Steve Kiges, co-founder of The Coach Training Academy, discussed several programs that he offers through The Coach Training Academy.The core program is the 24-week International Coach Federation accredited program for people who are busy and those who want to up their game by adding coaching to their current offerings. The second program, the Fast Track Program, is not for everyone. It is designed for motivated individuals that want a fast paced, turn-key certified coaching model that will allow them to hit the ground running. This is tailor-made for people who do coaching as a part of their regular job, like therapists, social workers, physicians, lawyers, etc. but don't have a certification in coaching.One key difference in the programs is that the 24-week program includes business and marketing information on how to build your business as a coach and market a coaching practice.One of the obstacles that coaches face is the fact that prospective clients are often not ready to take action. Steve explains that oftentimes, coaches often take that personally, when, in fact, it has nothing to do with the coach and everything to do with where the prospect is in his/her life. The prospects may not be ready for another failure or challenge in their lives or may need therapy rather than coaching.Steve Kiges is a speaker, author, entrepreneur, coach trainer, and Certified Master Life Coach: a distinction held for coaches who have logged over 5000 hours with clients.After a fifteen-year international performing and university teaching career, Steve became restless and wondered what the world of business would be like.

Craig Petronella – Raleigh, NC Top Cybersecurity Expert and IT Authority on the Importance of Employee Computer Security Awareness Training
In this episode, Craig Petronella, Amazon #1 Best-Selling author and CEO of Petronella Technology Group, Inc., discusses how to educate employees about corporate policies in working with IT about security issues. The training is delivered through online video and follow up exercises to assess each employee's comprehension of the training.Craig goes on to say that there are a series of tests, or trust factors, that each employee should complete when receiving an email to ensure it is safe to open. First, check to see if you recognize the person and email address that has been sent to you. Second, if there is an attachment, determine whether you were expecting an email with an attachment from that person. Third, look at the type of attachment to see if it is formatted with a recognized program (Adobe PDF, Microsoft Word, etc.). Fourth, look at the links in an email and ensure that they are going where you expect them to go by hovering your mouse pointer over the link to see the destination and make sure it matches. Fifth is to look at the language used in the email and determine if it matches the sender's normal language pattern. If you fail to follow these trust factors and your system is breached, it may be months before you discover the breach and the ramifications of a breach.Another protection against malicious software or malware is to use next generation antivirus technology that protects against 99% of the threats. However, these solutions are typically only available to corporations with 5,000 employees or greater. Craig has developed a partnership to deliver this type of protection to much smaller businesses to avail them of the same protection afforded to large corporations. When combining this software with security awareness training and good data backup, the lower the risk your business has for a breach.Infection with ransomware, or where a company's data is held hostage until a ransom is paid, can completely destroy a business. Your company can also be easily infected by one of your vendors, who is unaware that their system has been hacked. Because the infection and impact can be months, if not years, apart, it is often difficult to connect the two.Craig Petronella, Raleigh, North Carolina's top cybersecurity expert and IT authority, has authored multiple books, including How HIPAA Can Crush Your Medical Practice and Peace of Mind Computer Support. He has spent thirty years advising clients and protecting computer information. Craig makes sure your medical practice network works when you need it the most, and is a celebrity in his field and hometown. Craig is frequently quoted in the local Raleigh news and appears on local TV news for his expertise in protecting local businesses and medical practice owners from hackers halfway around the world in places such as Ukraine, Russia, and China.For more info about Craig, visit his website, https://www.petronellacomputer.com/ or call him at 1-877-468-2721 and request his "9 Ways to Prevent a Ransomware Attack" infographic or his Antivirus Audit special.Main Street Mavericks Radio with Joel Helferhttp://businessinnovatorsradio.com/main-street-mavericks-radio-with-joel-helfer/

Bill King, Chicago Distributor for Kangen Water®, on Change Your Water, Change Your Life
In this episode of Main Street Mavericks Radio, Kangen Water® distributor, Tom Chesser of Solutions Plus, interviews his client, Bill King, as Bill discusses the results he has experienced using the Enagic Kangen Water® System.Safe and readily available water is a basic human necessity to meet health and sanitation needs. However, tap water around the world has consistently been found to be subpar, "first-world" countries not excluded. According to National Geographic, "Bottled water is a drain on the environment. The U.S. public goes through about 50 billion water bottles a year, and most of those plastic containers are not recycled. Transporting the bottles and keeping them cold also burns fossil fuels, which give off greenhouse gases."Enagic has been the leading manufacturer of specialized high quality water ionizer generating systems, which are distributed globally. Kangen Waterr machines are used in hundreds of thousands of homes worldwide to transform regular tap water into pure, healthy, electrolyzed reduced and hydrogen rich drinking water.Bill goes on to say that the system takes normal tap water that has an acidic base and turns it into an alkaline-based water that has health benefits. The water also eliminates the need for cleaning supplies in your home and is a great product to improve the health of your pets.After being a critical care paramedic firefighter in the Chicago metro area for 30 years, as well as a successful business owner, Bill King and his wife, Mary, a former a flight attendant and teacher's assistant, were both excited about their future and the changes to come in their retirement years. However, they were facing some health issues. While searching for solutions, they came across Enagic and the machine that produces Kangen Water®. After doing due diligence, they purchased the machine in August of 2015. Within the first hour after use, they both noticed an energy level change from a physical standpoint.Mary, who had suffered from some type of allergy for thirty years, could not leave their home without a handkerchief due to watery eyes and a runny nose. Approximately ten days after using the machine, she noted that she no longer had her allergies. Bill noticed that he no longer had a recurring issue with kidney stones, which had plagued him for over 30 years. They began sharing their story with others and started selling the machine. They have introduced a great many people to Enagic and their key phrase, "Change your water, Change your life".If you are looking for an amazing in-home water ionization system that eliminates bad-tasting water and harmful chemicals and want to reduce your dependence on bottled water, they offer in-home Kangen Water® demonstrations using your tap water to let you try Kangen Water® firsthand.

Paul Fioravanti - C Suite Management Consultant Reveals Strategies Helping Businesses Improve Their Bottom Line
In this episode, Paul Fioravanti, Managing Director and Partner with QORVAL, discusses how one of the issues facing business owners today is acknowledging their limitations and the fact that they don't have all the answers.

Retaining and nurturing these employees is vital to the success of the new venture.In this interview, Paul notes that one of his company's key principles in helping other companies flourish is the principle of objective perspective.
