    My mentor and branch manager, Andy Tuttle, imprinted this message on my heart and it inspires my dedication to every client and partner I serve: “What do we help people with? One of the biggest financial decisions of their lives! How do we treat them? Like family!” From application to closing and beyond, I’m honored to provide the outstanding experience my clients and partners deserve.

    • How Ron has personally experienced negative consequences of un-addressed confirmation biases
    • The effects of social and mainstream media on our expectations
    • How confirmation bias shows up in the mortgage sphere vs. the personal sphere, and the dangers of allowing it in either situation
    • How to recognize when you’re in a loop of confirmation bias
    • Why understanding yourself is key in avoiding confirmation bias

Finally, at Pro Website Creators (PWC), Dave loves to work with clients to help their websites be the hub of their marketing wheel! He's invested years learning the technical aspects of WordPress web design, e-commerce, as well as writing copy to help make client's messages clear and not confusing. PWC’s mission is “Helping super-busy entrepreneurs who value growing their business over figuring out the technical stuff.” 

    Prior to all of this, Dave worked at a semiconductor company for almost 30 years, led teams across multiple continents and holds six patents. He also has co-created several iPhone apps. Dave enjoys spending time with his wife, working out, attending Mariners Church in Irvine, CA, bringing inspiring messages into the inmates at the Orange County Jails, and is a certified John Maxwell team coach.

    What you will learn in this episode:

    • Hiring a VA actually requires that you address two major elephants: lack of trust and fear that you lack experience
    • Trust is always a requirement when bringing someone new into your business, so it’s important to have systems to verify that they’re trustworthy
    • Many business owners don’t realize their vision is actually impossible to achieve on their own; a true business requires a team. “A business is a profitable enterprise that works with or without you… if it’s dependent on you, then you have a job.”
    • Why Dave started HireMyVA.com and how it helps address a challenge that many business owners face 
    • How to maximize your Virtual Assistant experience using a 3-step approach

After watching his parents’ marriage fall apart, and essentially being treated like Cinderella as the new family came in, he harbored a lot of pain and anger growing up.

        This traumatic experience created a burning desire in him to help others avoid the same struggles. He became a counselor at heart and many of his friends would come to him for advice on improving their relationships with others. Encouraged by the success his friends experienced from his natural wisdom and insight, his passion for helping others became a lifelong pursuit.

        He dove into all things related to personal growth and over the years he used that knowledge in different industries to help others in various ways. But he was getting burnt out. He would see great growth in those who came to him for advice, and yet nothing seemed to work for him when he tried it for himself. Despite his best efforts, he kept reverting to the patterns modeled in his family that would lead to more pain and anger.

        Until forgiveness stepped in.

        Forgiveness wasn’t a foreign concept to a man raised in the church. But it wasn’t until he learned about and experienced the science of forgiveness and its ability to resolve the unresolved conflicts from one’s past, that it truly changed his life forever. Forgiveness was the missing link.

        At that moment, he realized this was what he was meant to do! Forgiveness is what people needed to truly heal in the way he was healed. So he dropped all other career pursuits and opened a brand new business, right in the middle of a pandemic!

        Not only has he been able to break the chains of trauma from his past and move forward, but he has also built a thriving business helping others do the same.

        Rob believes that forgiveness is the most powerful force for healing and change on earth. His mission is to see the world experience the power of forgiveness, one person at a time.

        What you will learn in this episode:

        • How self-sabotage is a control issue at its core
        • How intention should align with action to achieve a certain result
        • Why our different perceptions can be a challenge
        • What our comfort zones have to do with self-sabotage
        • What are the two different types of forgiveness, and how do they impact our lives

He is the author of the definitive book on neuro-axiology, Answering the Central Question (2010). Stephen R. Covey (of “7 Habits…” fame), in his endorsement of the book, dubbed neuro-axiology as “groundbreaking science” for its unique power to enable people to understand and change their own thinking so they can create and experience greater value in their lives and organizations.

          In addition to R&D and direct coaching and consulting, Peter and his team train, certify, and support other coaches and consultants in using neuro-axiology based principles, practices, methods, and tools (“axiogenics”) to drive breakthrough results in personal, leadership, talent, and organizational development.

          As a speaker, Peter provides his audiences with an inspiring “valuegenic” message, an engaging style, and a host of actionable insights and take-aways. He has been a top-rated keynote and featured speaker at international, national, and regional conferences ranging from coaching (ICF, WBECS), HR, TD, OD, and numerous industry-specific events, including education, I.T., and bio-tech.

          Before his formal transition into coaching and consulting in 2003, he served in the US Navy Submarine Service, attended West Chester University, and worked for two decades in various technical, management, and leadership roles in the I.T. and I.T. education fields.

          Peter lives near Philadelphia, PA, and has five adult children, three grandchildren, a dog, a few cats, a dozen chickens, and about 50,000 honey bees.

          What you will learn in this episode:

          • How Peter defines "self-centric thinking" and how it relates to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
          • Why nature has programmed our brains to naturally turn survival into habit, and why most of our behaviors come from subconscious habits
          • Why the "valuegenic mindset", a conscious sense of value creation, is the key to truly unleashing our potential
          • What keywords to listen for to determine if someone is speaking from a self-centric mindset or a valuegenic mindset
          • Why being conscientious and present in the moment are key to tapping into the power of the valuegenic mindset
          • Why you should ask yourself "what choice can I make and what action can I take in this moment to create the greatest net value?"

          More about Derek:

          I have been in the insurance industry for over 8 years with 6 years of experience as an agent. I have worked for multiple different insurance carriers and am currently representing Liberty Mutual. I love helping clients protect their assets. We all work so hard to build up what we have and I take pride in making sure that you have peace of mind that those assets are protected.

          Before working in the insurance industry I was in IT. After figuring out that IT was not for me I have truly enjoyed meeting people from all aspects of life and helping them secure the insurance products they need for great value.
