Dan LeFave, co-author of the ‘award-wining’ Stepping Stones to Success with gurus Deepak Chopra, Jack Canfield and Dr. Denis Waitely. I got my start in business over 18 years ago and when I met Bob Proctor 4 years ago, he showed me how successful you can be just by thinking accurately. I can still remember locking myself in my room weeks at a time studying and learning how to take control of my mindset. After months of studying and practicing, I cracked the code and discovered the way to eliminate negative thinking and cultivate rich thoughts. The impact was huge! Since then some of my students and clients, mostly seasoned entrepreneurs, thought leaders and success seekers (that have a built-in desire to read, study and learn) have tripled their income, removed barriers to success and living a fuller and happier lifestyle. I have been very fortunate to have worked with and become friends with experts such as Noah St. John, Bob Proctor, Lisa Sasevich, Reid Tracy and Loral Langemeier.

Megan Greenwood, Greenwood Brewing

Megan Greenwood is the founder of Greenwood Brewing. An industrial engineer and business owner, she launched Greenwood Brewing as a contract brewery in 2017 and is building their first brewery and taproom in downtown Phoenix in 2019. Megan is originally from Iowa and went to college at the University of Iowa, graduating with Industrial Engineering, Spanish and International Business. She worked in corporate America until 2018, primarily working in Alternative and Renewable Energy in Boston and Arizona. Megan moved to Arizona in 2012 and began home brewing on a 5 gallon brewery in her kitchen that was originally given to her as a gift. She graduated to a 1BBL brewery hand-built in her garage where she carried up to 8 beers on tap. Greenwood moved to downtown in 2017 where she “fell in love” with downtown and wanted to build her brewery in the artistic heart of Phoenix.

Greenwood Brewing is a woman-owned brewing company where they believe in the power of the purposeful pint. While Greenwood Brewing’s handcrafted ales are for everyone to enjoy, their goal is to create approachable beer to help bring more women into the craft beer industry. They believe that beer isn’t just tasty, but it is an avenue for powerful conversations and positive changes that often begin over a cold one with a friend. They want that friend to be both men and women.

Greenwood Brewing is happily celebrating a successful Kickstarter closed on January 9th, 2019 raising $68,000 to purchase equipment for their new brewery opening on Roosevelt and 5th Street in downtown Phoenix later this year.
