On today's episode, Seth and Kevin speak to Charles , one of the co-founders of the company of Passion 4 Life, about how he and Linda (his wife) started Passion 4 Life liquid vitamins and minerals, (www.passion4lifevitamins.com) which helps to fund Passion 4 K.I.D.S.

Charles’ passion came from personal experience enduring an “upbringing” rivaling a movie script. Born in Amsterdam, Holland during World War II, he watched his Jewish father and grandparents be snatched away by the Nazis in front of him at age 2. His Catholic mom couldn’t take care of him so he was placed in a state-run orphanage where he suffered abuse of every kind for 8 years and survived on eating flower bulbs until he could no longer take it and ran away at age 10 drifting all over Holland. He vowed one day to help children, like himself, who needed stability, love and someone to care.

Linda dreamed of working in the White House. That dream came true when, at age 19, she became a Staff Assistant to President Ford at the White House. She later became Director of Scheduling and Press for President and Mrs. Ford as well as Dr. Robert Schuller at the Crystal Cathedral. She also worked with Dr. Billy Graham for over 25 years in many of his crusades around the world.

Linda and Charles are very hands on with the children they support. In an effort to bring fun and joy to their young, troubled lives, Linda and Charles take them on weekend outings, bowling, to the park, to sporting events, restaurants, etc. They personally try to teach the children manners, ethics, morals and help them navigate the difficulties of life. Because many of the children come from devastating, unstable home situations, the Van Kesslers develop long-term relationships with the children and reinforce to them that they will be a constant presence in their lives for many years to come which allows them to build a level of trust that the children can depend on. Charles and Linda spend many hours weekly visiting “their” kids in the hospital or at home, purchasing and delivering basic necessities of food, clothing and water to the children and serve as a resource of love, compassion and assistance in any way possible to the children and their families they are honored to serve. With a background in media and public relations, Linda organizes all Passion 4 K.I.D.S.’ events and works tirelessly with the media to gain attention for these children in need.

Not only was he gifting knives, but he was being asked to speak on stages around the country to teach sales and marketing teams how to build relationships in unconventional ways. Simple but powerful things like focusing your care on the executive’s spouse, the assistant, and their kids.

Ruhlin Group started in 2000 and quickly broadened gifting options and strategies, but many of the original principles never changed. Knowing how and when to give gifts is just as important as what to gift. These “minor” details and expert knowledge have been tested and proven over a decade to bring a guaranteed “wow” to any industry from financial services to manufacturing widgets.

Today John and his team have created gift packages for some of the largest companies and professional sports teams in the world, but their mission and heart is to serve and take relationships for mid-sized, privately owned businesses to a new level using their proven process.

On today’s episode, Seth speaks with SharónLynn Wyeth, Neimeologist. Neimeology is the study of the placement of letters in a name, and how they interact with each other to divulge natural tendencies in someone's character. Sharón uses this analysis to help others to find the best partnering, from relationships to seating charts. Her method has gained recognition from celebrities such as Oprah. Sharón talks about how this science can be applied to your business from hiring needs to employee reviews. Even the how the very words you choose can influence a certain outcome when speaking to others.

Sharón graduated from the University of Redlands with a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics at the age of twenty. She began teaching that same year in a public Junior High School in California. During her three years there, she obtained her Master of Arts degree from Azusa-Pacific University in education administration with an emphasis in math.

Sharón initially taught in California before moving to Germany where she taught for the Department of Defense Schools. She continued to move around as she married an Air Force soldier. She was fortunate to always find a teaching job in each location. After Germany came Texas, and then Japan. Eventually she would also teach in New Mexico, Nebraska, Washington state and China, besides being a high school administrator in both Texas and Oregon. She retired as a high school principal in 2002, only to come out of retirement in January 2008 to become involved in schools for an additional two and a half years.

It was during her time in the schools that she linked the patterns in names to a person's mindset or personality. She worked on figuring out the patterns of the different letters for fifteen years before she fully comprehended all of the nuances. Sharón took the opportunity to travel a large part of the world testing her theories for the first three years after leaving the education field. Many people requested that she write a book so that they could learn what she had realized about names.

They talk about being YouTube and Facebook influencers and monetizing their success, and what they are looking to do for future endeavors.

Penn Holderness is an 18-year veteran of the TV business. Since college (UVA) he’s been a sports director in Colorado and Orlando, a TV host for Designer Finals, an ESPN Reporter, and most recently a news anchor in Raleigh.

And after those 18 years, he’s decided that he isn’t really interested in about half of the things he talked about on the news. So, he quit! He now runs a video production/digital marketing company Walk West, formerly Greenroom Communications, and is using this blog to showcase the 100% of things he actually cares about.

Penn is married to Kim Dean Holderness (who is also his business partner at Walk West). That means that work arguments are taken personally which has led Kim to perfect the art of passive aggressive behavior. Kim was a television news reporter, most recently at Inside Edition in New York.

They have two kids, Lola and Penn Charles. They eat their vegetables, never throw tantrums in public places, and are always respectful of their parents. (THIS IS A LIE).

On today’s show, Seth speaks with Rylee Meek, founder and CEO of The Social Dynamic Selling System. Rylee talks about selling in-person to groups of like-minded people, rather than one-on-one. Rylee’s program provides a comprehensive, done-for-you system for hosting events to reach, connect and make the sale with your ideal client, without the intimidation factor.

Rylee Meek is the founder and CEO of the Social Dynamic Selling System, an easy-to-follow program that walks people through the entire process of launching a dinner-seminar marketing campaign step-by-step.

Dinner seminar marketing has been effectively used in many different industries for years. Financial services companies are probably the biggest fans. When you consider the lifetime value of a financial planning or insurance client against the cost of a dinner—and not even a lavish dinner at that—it quickly becomes clear why dinner seminar marketing makes sense. It’s an effective and cost-effective way to build relationships and get quality leads.

The Social Dynamic Selling System turns dinner seminar marketing into a science. Every aspect is based on years of trial and error. Everything they teach has been tried, tested, refined, and proven effective.

It was developed because over the years, many people have come to Rylee asking him to teach them how he’s been able to obtain such a high level of success, generating over $70 million the past 7 years.

So he created The Social Dynamic Selling System as a way to give back, and now Rylee is on a mission to help others have a predictable, sustainable, scalable selling system.
