SUITS BOOTS and BACKROADS with Lori Corrigan of Snake Charmer Mens Body Waxing

SUITS BOOTS and BACKROADS with Lori Corrigan of Snake Charmer Mens Body Waxing

Thanks to Steve Carell’s “40-Year-Old Virgin,” the social stigma of men’s body waxing holds you gentlemen hostage, keeping you from enjoying this game-changing life hack. There’s a reason why so few waxing studios offer men’s services, and many that do shouldn’t. Bottom line is Snake Charmer Men’s Body Waxing is not the norm, which means a much better experience for you.

Not only are you within a 100% physical and emotional safe zone, but you’re also the focus instead of an afterthought. Head over to the website where you can watch how a men’s Brazilian wax is done from start to finish.

Within the first 3 minutes they meet, The Snake Charmer (aka Lori Corrigan) persuades clients to be 100% physically and emotionally vulnerable to her. Men willingly sign over their modesty, fear, intimidation, and genitalia to her care in exchange for a promise of enhanced comfort and prowess.

Because she’s 1/2 Goddess and 1/2 Good Witch on her mom’s side, Lori quietly performs mental hocus-pocus to magically melt away social stigma and industry hype.
The trust clients willingly lay at her altar is something Lori treats with great respect and gratitude.

Connect with Lori on LinkedIn and follow Snake Charmer Men’s Body Waxing on Facebook.

RHINO NATION ACN Regional Vice President Wendee Saunders and Exceptional Sales Performance Coach Connie Kadansky

RHINO NATION ACN Regional Vice President Wendee Saunders and Exceptional Sales Performance Coach Connie Kadansky

ACN began as a reseller of long distance services in the U.S., and within their first five years in business, ACN ranked 22nd in Inc. magazine’s list of fastest-growing companies in North America.

Founded in 1993, ACN was the vision of four entrepreneurs – Greg Provenzano, Robert Stevanovski, Tony Cupisz and Mike Cupisz. They had countless years of direct sales experience between them, but were dissatisfied with other companies and job opportunities they had encountered. They realized that the only way to find a company they wanted to be a part of was to create that company.

So with a yellow legal pad in front of them, they formulated a business plan. On one side of the page they wrote down everything that they knew worked well, and on the other side everything that didn’t. They ripped the page in half and only kept the side that contained what would become the governing principles behind ACN – integrity, solid business practices, and a commitment to always putting the needs of the masses above the needs of themselves. And those are the same principles that drive the company today, over two decades later.

For over 25 years now Wendee Saunders has been celebrating a woman’s right to success and independence. Whether through her business, career, family or personal relationships. As a Mom she is committed to inspiring her kids to grow and become their highest potential and live a full, happy, purposeful life by being an example of what’s possible. As a business woman she is committed to bringing constant value to her clients and business partners, both economically and socially developing rewarding relationships along the way. All of this requires Wendee to be in a constant state of growth to appreciate all people and learning, to live in a state of abundance to attract wealth, greater opportunities and to inspire others to do the same.

Wendee is blessed to be in a business where she can continuously shoot for the stars, where they have a network of individuals that hold them to account, and that through the personal growth she is pushed towards each day, she can be an example for many.

AZ BRANDCAST Conscious Leader Brian Mohr

March 28, 2019 by Karen

AZ BRANDCAST Conscious Leader Brian Mohr

On this episode of AZ Brandcast, we talk about how capitalism has gotten bad PR, and that the Conscious Capitalism Annual Conference in Phoenix Apr 23-25 is the kind of event needed to help build leadership and define capitalism as it should be. We share examples of capitalism at its worst; why it’s so important right now; the worldwide conference we’re hosting; and, Brian’s book, “Hiring on Purpose.”

Brian Mohr’s career-to-date has been a learning-based journey with an intense focus on people, purpose, values, culture, leadership, and advocating capitalism as a force for good. Brian was a founding member of Jobing.com, one of the original online job boards, which he helped grow to over 350 employees and $38M in revenue over an 11-year period. He later became director of talent strategy & acquisition for P.F. Chang’s China Bistro and Pei Wei Asian Diner restaurants before joining forces with his co-founder, Max Hansen, to create the first purpose-based leadership search firm, Y Scouts, in 2012.

In the summer of 2018, Brian doubled down on his commitment to leveraging business as a powerful force for good and joined the Arizona Chapter of Conscious Capitalism as its first President. Together with Scott McIntosh, Founder & Chairman of the Arizona Chapter of Conscious Capitalism, Brian is focused on helping the Arizona business community practice capitalism with both a long-term view and a stakeholder-centric orientation; a model of business that creates prosperity for all.

Brian is on the Global Board of Trustees of Conscious Capitalism, Inc., a member of the Board of Directors of the Better Business Bureau of the Pacific Southwest, and anticipating the launch of his first book, “Hiring on Purpose – How the Y Scouts Method is Revolutionizing the Search for Leaders“. Brian’s most important and cherished responsibilities are being the lucky father to his 2 daughters, Taylor and Riley, and the proud husband to his wife, Jackie. In his spare time, you’ll find Brian practicing guitar and enjoying an occasional game of Texas hold ‘em Poker.

Connect with Brian on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Conscious Capitalism is a way of thinking about capitalism and business that better reflects where we are in the human journey, the state of our world today, and the innate potential of business to make a positive impact on the world.

Conscious businesses are galvanized by higher purposes that serve, align, and integrate the interests of all their major stakeholders. Their higher state of consciousness makes visible to them the interdependencies that exist across all stakeholders, allowing them to discover and harvest synergies from situations that otherwise seem replete with trade-offs. They have conscious leaders who are driven by service to the company’s purpose, all the people the business touches, and the planet we all share together.

Conscious businesses have trusting, authentic, innovative and caring cultures that make working there a source of both personal growth and professional fulfillment. They endeavor to create financial, intellectual, social, cultural, emotional, spiritual, physical and ecological wealth for all their stakeholders.

ABOUT AZ BRANDCAST

Branding isn’t just for companies. In fact, Arizona is its own brand. Every month, Mike Jones and Chris Stadler tap into Arizona’s rich community of thought leaders and business owners to find out how the state is developing that brand. Join them as they interview business and thought leaders from in and around Arizona about higher purpose in their companies and Arizona’s development as a brand. AZ Brandcast is powered by Conscious Capitalism AZ and Resound Creative.

ABOUT YOUR HOSTS

It’s Mike Jones‘ mission to see brands grow and succeed – to reach their full potential. He believes every brand, like every person, has DNA that’s remarkable, but not every brand knows how to act like it (and communicate it to the world). It’s not about what’s trendy, whatever consumers are demanding, or whatever will turn the fastest profit. It’s about the long game – building real relationships with your customers and your community.

Chris Stadler likes to see great plans executed. In a world looking for magic formulas, his stoic outlook tends to point people back to doing the basics really well. Accountability and measurement are his tools. In the past, Chris served as the staff copywriter for a large credit union, UX/human factors researcher at the University of Iowa and full-time teaching faculty, teaching design, copy and strategy at the University of Oregon.

SCOTT-FOUNDATION THOUGHT AND SERVICE LEADERS Hummingbird Tiny Home Inn CEO Justin Beers and Jewell Homes AZ Realtor Gretchen Jewel

Coming Fall 2019! The idea of The Hummingbird Tiny Home Inn came from a desire to find a way to live a more meaningful life and spend more time with our children. We want to create a place where we can live out our own dreams but also share with others the benefits of living a simpler life. Please join us as we journey down the road less traveled…

At The Hummingbird Inn, we pride ourselves in making tiny living luxurious and comfortable.

Growing up the son of a salesman truly laid the foundation for Justin Beers’ nomadic lifestyle. Moving up and down the West Coast in his early years (Washington, Oregon and California) and adapting to new people became “normal” and inspired his profession and wanderlust spirit.

After stumbling into the hospitality industry at 15 years old, Justin quickly realized that he had a passion for creating memorable experiences for people he interacted with. Over his 20+ year career in the Hospitality Industry, he held many positions such as room service attendant at Little America, fine dining server at Kai, Front Office Manager at The Sheraton Wild Horse Pass, Director of Guest services at The St. Regis Deer Valley, to his most recent role of Director of Operations at Phoenix’s only 5 Star boutique hotel, The Canyon Suites at the Phoenician.

He is excited to bring his passion for hospitality, attention to detail and living small to the first Tiny Home Hotel in Arizona while being able to spend more time on his biggest passion, his family.

LIFE MADE TO ORDER PHOENIX Kerry Press with Thermal Imaging Centers of America and Barbara Regis with Ask the PA

LIFE MADE TO ORDER PHOENIX Kerry Press with Thermal Imaging Centers of America and Barbara Regis with Ask the PA

On this episode of Life Made To Order Phoenix, Kerry Press and Barb Regis discussed how the healthcare system is in a quandary. Thermography and allopathic medicine could merge and create a new way of treating patients. It was an enlightening conversation about what both ladies are passionate about and how they can help others before, during and after a diagnosis of cancer or other life threatening event.

Listeners will enjoy hearing about the Advocacy that Barb Regis offers to help people with when it comes to their own health care. You do have a choice! Both ladies are cancer survivors and have amazing stories to share about YOUR healthcare options because of what they personally went through. Kerry Press educates us on Thermography and how the current screening process is not always the best option. You deserve to learn about this screening modality!

Their stories are incredible and the camaraderie between them that took place during the show was magical. You have to tune in and find out about the tortilla press and how it might be damaging you!

A Life Made to Order story indeed!

Thermal Imaging Centers of America™ is the nation’s leading and fastest growing thermal imaging company – established in 2014 in Glendale, AZ. Thermal Imaging Centers of America™ provides RADIATION-FREE, FDA-approved health screenings that can see and help detect disease, dysfunction, and even cancer up to 10 years before you will ever get a diagnosis – affording you the opportunity to avert, forestall, or even prevent an eventual diagnosis.

Thermal Imaging Centers of America™ serves to continue to add to the more than 100,000 studies that have been read and reported by their superior reading doctor and board- certified doctor of thermology. The organization has more than a combined 50 years of experience in Thermography and has more than 1,000 case studies in just the Glendale clinic alone.

As an adjunct to conventional health screenings, Thermal Imaging Centers of America™ is changing lives and saving lives, one scan at a time.

Kerry Press is the President & Founder of Thermal Imaging Centers of America™, a thermography clinic dedicated to educating and empowering patients with knowledge, clarity, and options concerning their health (and diagnoses, even a cancer diagnosis).

Kerry is a certified clinical thermographer, public speaker, and cancer survivor, who spent 20 years in upper management and directorship at two prominent fortune 100 companies, but is now determined to provide people everywhere with REAL information about thermal imaging, as well as giving them the courage they need to make the best, informed decisions for their health.

Kerry’s passion today comes from her personal cancer diagnosis in 2008. According to Kerry, “Had I known about adjunctively adding thermography when I was diagnosed with cancer 11 years ago, I am confident I would not have had to endure the horrific treatment that I did, and I would have made completely different decisions from my treatment options.”

Greatly due to this, Kerry’s mission today is to educate others about the amazing adjunctive and complimentary power thermography holds in helping them to manage their own health and to make the best decisions in their diagnoses, treatments, and options. Kerry has been quoted as saying, “If thermography is not your first opinion, then it HAS to be your second opinion.” The insight thermography provides could make the difference for you.

Journey Radio’s mission is to ensure all listeners have the opportunity to learn from guest’s experiences, failures and successes enabling Journey listeners to complete their “Path to Success” at a faster pace, with fewer failures. Every lesson learned does not need to be through experience, but can be learned by listening and learning from other’s experience. Journey Radio connects listeners with guests who have completed the journey that the listener is on.

The time has come to disrupt project management. Project Motivator’s processes are well-established, our approaches well-known. It is time to focus on people. We at Project Motivator believe that at fifty years old, our profession is ready to take a new position in organizations, and in the world. The organization is passionate about the future of project managers as influencers, and forces for good in organizations and teams. Their purpose is to build engaged teams who will run through walls for each other, led by an impassioned, empathic, socially intelligent project or program manager.

Experience, and evidence, shows that this happens when colleagues feel seen and heard, when they feel that failure is not a dirty word, when they feel safe to challenge the status quo and when they know their strengths, they are appreciated for their strengths, and they are encouraged to use and grow their strengths in everything that they do.

Ruth Pearce’s motto is Be Hopeful, Be Strong, Be Brave, Be Curious. Her principles are: 1. Create experiences that are supported by evidence and experience. 2. Focus on strengths – use strengths to tackle growth opportunities. 3. Build learning experiences through training, modeling and coaching. 4. Explore everything and be open to new ideas, perspectives, and experiences. 5. Share, collaborate and support others. 6. Keep learning and make it FUN!

Ruth has over 25 years of continuous project and program management experience, she trained as an economist, a lawyer, a mediator, and a coach. She holds her PMP and ACP certifications, is certified in various personality assessments, is accredited by the International Coach Federation and is a Certified Coach Trainer with the Center for Coaching Certification. She is also a Thrive Programme consultant, offering coaching for those who want to overcome stress, anxiety, and phobias.

Each of us has a unique story to tell, but collectively we share a message that organizations who embrace Project Management Best Practices perform better than those which don’t. Organizations which align Projects to Strategy perform better. Organizations with Engage Executive Sponsors deliver better results.
