7 Questions For...

Terrell Monger

Author of Something She Can Feel

Creator of The Something She Can Feel Relationship Conference

 "The book Something She Can Feel provides men with insight on a woman's emotional needs and provides women with a means to articulate their emotional needs in ways that only men can comprehend."

DIVINE::Why should people attend the 2011 Something She Can Feel Relationship Conference taking place this weekend October 28 & 29?

TM::This conference provides a great avenue for individuals to define or redefine what is considered to be a healthy relationship. Our life is a sum of the people we know, the experiences we have and the information that we receive. The conference provides an opportunity to meet and interact with new people with fresh perspectives, have an experience that will be a blessing to your life and the lives around and to take in some information from some very powerful and successful speakers, whether single, engaged or married. We will also have lots of fun an laughs together.

DIVINE::What made you create the Something She Can Feel Relationship Conference?

TM::The reason I felt that this conference was so important is because I have heard a lot of spiritual answers and reasons for how and why relationships should work but I have not often heard anyone deal with marriage outside of just an institution of “Legal Sex” that frees you from guilt. I wanted to help people establish some sense of purpose for every relationship in their lives so they have a better chance at picking the right partner that goes with their overall purpose. The Bible tells us that where there is no vision, people will perish. We see this with the divorce rate even in the church being 52% - 55%. I wanted to deal with the practical side of marriage and relationships and allow individuals an opportunity to deal with some of the issues that they are afraid to talk about or even expose in church.

DIVINE::Why are healthy relationships so important?

TM::Healthy relationships have the propensity to provide confidence and drive in every other area of a person’s life. Notice that when people struggle in their relationships, it bleeds over into work relationship issues, excessive spending on drinks or a means of finding fulfillment somewhere else. It eventually induces stress and discomfort which makes life a little more difficult than it should be. A healthy relationship gives you a better chance at being successful in your own life and to be a blessing to the lives of others.


DIVINE::What can we learn from bad relationships?

TM::Bad relationship can help you learn about yourself and teach you what you do want in a relationship. The one thing it should not do is make an individual become bitter and give up on the hope of good healthy relationships. Love always hopes, love always trust and love keeps no records of wrong. The minute a person stops trusting, stop hoping for the best and keeping records of every wrong, then it is at that moment that they have allowed someone to take away their ability to love and we can’t let that happen.


DIVINE::You have also created a teen conference, what was your motivation behind
creating this component of the conference?

TM::I think it is so important to help our youth define and choose health relationships early in life. We are going to spend time talking about teen dating and college transition. Instead of telling them not to date, we want to teach them how to date.

DIVINE::What makes you an expert on the topic of relationships?

TM::I don’t consider myself an expert. I am just a student of life and have a deep love for people. There are things that I have taken in over the past few years of teaching relationship conferences and hosting a radio talk show. I decided to share my findings in my new book, Something She Can Feel. I believe that it will truly be a blessing to many.

DIVINE::Your newly released book is all about relationships, what do readers have to look forward to in your book?

TM::This book goes into great detail about the Biblical and practical understandings surrounding the emotional needs of women. It provides men with insight on this topic and provides women with a means to articulate their emotional needs in ways that only men can comprehend. It is truly a great book and the feedback has been phenomenal. I am looking forward to the outcome of the Relationship Conference, further impact of the book and what they both will do for the lives of believers.

7 Questions For...

Easop, Recording Artist

DIVINE:: What was the inspiration for the first single of this year " You've Been Waiting"?
Easop:: The inspiration for my first single, "You've Been Waiting" was for for fans who had been waiting on something new from me. It was a song addressed directly to them. In the song, I go into what my style is about and it also serves as an introduction to new listeners.


DIVINE:: How did you come up with the newest single title "How I Do It"?
Easop:: The title for my newest single, "How I Do It" seemed appropriate because I wanted to let people know that I'm different with how I share my faith in my music. The way I write songs is unique and so is my delivery so... this is, "How I Do It". Diversity in music is important. People like different styles of music, so it's important to be yourself and not try to be like somebody else because you think their style is hot or because you think it's what people will like. GOD created all of us in our own unique way.


DIVINE:: Who/What is your biggest inspiration?
Easop:: I've had a lot of inspiration over the years. I'll have to start with Jesus, of course. His ministry was so unconventional. To the point where he upset the religious establishment at that time. My grandmother, who made sure I was in church no matter what, was a huge inspiration as well. Once I decided to go all out for Jesus, and stop rapping secular, there were a few artists who inspired me: Gospel Gangstaz, T-Bone, Lil Raskul, etc. Also, my neighborhood inspired me to do better so I could give something back in the form of my music.

DIVINE:: How have you grown as an artist?
Easop:: I've grown as an artist because I'm willing to take more chances creatively when I write songs. My personal opinion is we as artists are sometimes afraid to step outside of our boxes to talk about certain topics or our own personal failures, struggles, shortcomings, etc., for fear of what someone might think or say about us in the body. It's just about being transparent and encouraging somebody else that if I made it through you can too. Also, as a hip-hop artist, I try and make sure when I write songs now, I write them from the perspective of the listener who maybe isn't thinking about church or doesn't know the first thing about the Bible. Jesus made it a point to relate to His audience and so I've grown to make sure I do the same in my songs even more so than before.

DIVINE::What is the title of your upcoming album and when will it be released ?
Easop:: The title of my upcoming album is "Back For The First Time". I'm not a new artist, but I haven't released an album in so long there are a lot of people still unfamiliar with me. I'm looking at the winter or Spring of 2012.

DIVINE::What can your fans expect from your new album ?
Easop:: Fans can expect a diverse mix of music and styles but the same aggressive flow and delivery. They can expect me to share my faith in a way that relates directly to the streets in hopes of someone opening their mind and heart to the gospel story. They can also expect to hear personal stories of struggle and failure but also of personal redemption and victory.

DIVINE::What other projects do you have up your sleeves? 
Easop:: I'm currently working on a mixtape called, "Street Gospel". It will be a seven song mixtape given away to fans with a free download. Fans can look for it to be available sometime at the end of July or early August. It will be available on my website http://www.easopmusic.com/. Also, I will be working on several video projects and a documentary film about FAITH in the hood. People can just expect to hear a lot from me in the coming months as I endeavor to be a light in a dark world.

7 Questions For...

Liz Merriwether

Founder, Always N2U Designs

DIVINE:: What can you share about Always N2U Designs? 
Liz: Always N2U Designs was started from a desire to offer unique & quality merchandise. Most women do not like arriving some place to find someone else with the same handbag or accessories. We as women like to be unique, but we all know that when you think of unique it may be equivalent to 'expensive'. Always N2U Designs allows our clients the ability to be unique without breaking the bank.

DIVINE::Who/What motivates you?

Liz: I'm motivated by anyone who is striving for excellence. I consciously spend time with people who aren't looking to be mediocre. I feel that it's important to surround myself with people who challenge me to continuously raise the bar.

DIVINE::What is your best fashion advice?

Liz: When it comes to fashion it’s important to be true to yourself. Find the handbag or accessories that compliment you. You can follow a trend, but be sure that you’re not compromising your style.

DIVINE::Who is your Favorite Designer? Why?
Liz: To be honest, I don’t have a favorite designer. I’m attracted to clothing & accessories that enhance my eclectic style. I’ll wear a tee, short jacket, frayed jeans, heels & hat. Add those bold accessories with a drop dead handbag & I’m my favorite designer!


DIVINE::What accessory can you not live without? Why?
Liz: Rings are a necessity. In my mind a ring completes the look that you’re setting out to achieve. There are so many trendy & chic rings that you can’t go wrong by adding them. Rings can have fur hanging off of them, they can twirl when you move or one ring could be large as two of your fingers (those are the kind that I tend to wear).

                       

DIVINE::What can guests expect from the Spring/Summer Fashion Explosion 2011?
Liz: Guests can expect to see a full show with top of the line merchandise. We’ll have handbags, accessories, shoes & hats modeled by the professionals of Reflections Modeling Agency. We are excited because for this show we’ve chosen some new designers who have unbelievable lines.

Check Out The 60 Second Commercial

In addition, for entertainment we’ll have Cherisse Scott. This young lady is originally from Memphis but she currently resides in Chicago, IL. She recently opened for El DeBarge and she’s a wonderful vocalist. Our guests will have a full fashion/entertainment experience. Tickets for this incredible show are only $5.00 in advance & $10.00 at the door. Tickets may be purchased at the official Always N2U Designs website or call 901.857.9210.

_____________________________________________________

DIVINE:: What future events do you have planned? Fashion Shows, etc?
Liz: Our next event is with Majestik Entertainment & the play “When I Let Go” – April 10th at the University of Memphis' Rose Theater. Always N2U Designs will be on site as a vendor but we’ll also help Majestik Entertainment with the accessories for the play. For an update of even more events coming up later this year check out our calendar at http://www.alwaysn2udesigns.biz/.

10 Questions For...

Sheri Jones-Moffett

Award Winning Gospel Artist

Formerly of Ted & Sheri, Donald Lawrence & Tri-City Singers 

DIVINE::Who/What is your biggest inspiration?

Sheri: Oprah Winfrey. She prides her life on making sure other people experience the best in their lives. I believe that someone who is a true inspiration will encourage you to see the gift that already exists within you.

DIVINE::What was it like working with Donald Lawrence?

Sheri: He is the greatest teacher that I've ever had. I don't make any moves to this day without him. He's been an extension of a father to me. He won't stop until he sees you do better than him. Everything that we've (Tri-City Singers) all aspired to do, he goes to bat for each and every one of us. He looks out for everyone and he wants to make sure we all do well. In short, Donald Lawrence is the epitome of a great leader.

DIVINE::Are there songs from your time with the Tri-City Singers and your time in the duo-group Ted & Sheri that you still sing now as a solo artist?
Sheri: Yes. I love to sing Encourage Yourself, Come Ye Disconsolate, although I wouldn't dare sing that great song without Ted, and also The Best Is Yet To Come.

DIVINE::What makes Sheri Jones-Moffet unique?
Sheri:Not just that I have a musical gift but my ability to help people relate to God. People want to be connected to something that feels real and right. When I open my mouth to speak/sing, people can receive God and it's a genuine experience.

DIVINE::What's the most rewarding part of your job?
Sheri: Watching people transform and change their minds. I love how God uses me as a conduit to bring that awareness to people. I love witnessing the awakening in people when they find truth in what I've said or in what I sing.

 Listen To Music Samples From CD

Purchase Renewed CD

DIVINE::What can listeners expect from your CD, Renewed? Sheri: To get to the next place in life you can't take the way you use to live and think to that new place. This is the message that the title and the songs from the album convey.

DIVINE:: What's your Favorite Song from the Renewed CD?
Sheri: My favorite song changes from day to day but I will say I love "Not Too Late To Dream".

DIVINE:: How does it feel to be honored by the Memphis & Shelby County Music Commission?
Sheri: I'm reminded of the scripture that says, "A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family" (Mark 6:4). Many times it's hard to be appreciated where you've come from so it always feels good when you can put your footprint in the world and still receive honor at home. It also feels good to motivate others who see what you're doing and suddenly they have more energy to follow their dreams. Lastly, I love having the ability to make other people in my hometown look good. We are all winners!

Sheri Jones-Moffett will be honored by the Memphis & Shelby County Music Commission on Wednesday, March 23, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. at Memphis Botanic Garden, 750 Cherry Road.

Tickets for the Emissaries of Memphis Music Celebration are $50.00 each. Reserved tables for ten are also available. For more information, contact the Memphis & Shelby County Music Commission at 901-576-6857 or via email pamela.kelly@memphistn.gov. Also, visit www.memphismusic.org for more details.

DIVINE::How have you grown as a singer?

Sheri:With the help of my husband, Dion, and my good friend Donald Lawrence, I've learned three things: To pace myself, honor my truth, and to stay away from competition. It's so important to find your own truth and to give 100% to every given moment.

DIVINE::What other projects are you working on?

Sheri: I'm in the early stage of writing a book and I'm working on a series of Master Classes for those who are in the beginning of who they are to become. I'm passionate about sharing what I've learned with those who need it most.

7 Questions For...

Michael Joiner

Comedian

Actor, The Grace Card Movie

DIVINE::What drew you to the role of "Mac" in The Grace Card Movie?

MJ::Every serious actor longs for that deep, intense, challenging role. One where the character has hidden demons that he’s battling. And a story with obstacle after obstacle makes it even more inviting. I found all of that and more in this role.


DIVINE::What can those who haven't seen the movie expect?
MJ::To be treated to surprise twists, edgy, gritty, real dialogue, and a powerful ending that is causing folks to simultaneously applaud, cry, and give a standing ovation…I have also seen many audiences so emotionally worn out by the time the film reaches it’s surprising climax, that they sit there through the entire ending credits, almost not believing what they just experienced.


DIVINE::What course of action do you desire for people after they see the movie?
MJ::Tell other. Tell others. Tell others. SONY will keep this movie in theaters as long as people are paying to see it. And also, BRING your unchurched friends and neighbors. This film will entertain them with a purpose.

Michael Joiner as "Mac McDonald"

DIVINE::How do you think The Grace Card Movie will impact people in the City of Memphis (where it was filmed) and cities like Memphis?
MJ::The wonderful people of Memphis have embraced this film like none other. I sincerely think “The Grace Card” will be a big part in healing the racial divide and other problems that have plagued this awesome city for so many years.


DIVINE::Give an example of GRACE that you've experienced in your own life.
MJ::When God reached down and picked me up out of a horrible and sure road to destruction and revealed his Son to me--causing me to embrace the salvation and new direction and purpose He has for me. God has given me back everything and more that the enemy destroyed. In a wife, a family, a career, and most importantly in eternity. God truly has the best interest in mind for every single person on the planet, if they will just reach out to Him.


DIVINE::What advice would you give to an aspiring actor?
MJ::Don’t do it!!!! LOL! Seriously, if I can talk someone out of going to Hollywood to pursue acting, than they were never meant to be an actor anyway. Actors, TRUE actors, are born to act. We MUST act. And our lives are not entirely fulfilled until or unless we act in some capacity.


But one thing I will say is, you must study. You must learn the techniques. “Natural” abilty will only get you so far. There are many things that you cannot have intuition about, they must be learned. I studied in LA for over 5 years, and I am still learning.


DIVINE::What was it like working with Louis Gossett,Jr.?
MJ::I actually had no person to person scene with Mr. Gossett, but I met him and he truly is a professional and a gentleman.


DIVINE::Which co-star did you glean the most from? How so?
MJ::Michael Higgenbottom, my co-star who plays the black policeman in the movie. We were instant friends and we only grew closer on the set. His acting style actually complimented mine and made me better. He’s a great friend. We talk on the phone often several times a week.


DIVINE::What other exciting projects do you have in the works?
MJ::As a stand up Comedian, I am working on a new video with my 13 year old Comedian son, Dustin. I hope to produce a live concert and sell it in stores.


As an actor, I am hoping the exposure and reviews from my performance in “The Grace Card” movie will generate interest from a solid acting agency in LA. I want to work full time as an actor.

7 Questions For...

Jae Henderson

Author of Someday, A Delightful Inspirational Romance Novel

DIVINE::You've written your first book, how does that feel?
JH::I am excited, relieved, and anxious. This is my first novel but it took me several years to complete it. I had to get serious about it and truly take it in the direction that God wanted me to head. I’m excited about what He has been able to produce through me but relieved that it is finally finished. I am anxious to have it released to the public and receive everyone’s feedback. So far it has been positive.


DIVINE::What can readers expect from Someday?
JH::Someday is an inspirational romance about a woman named Tina “Tee” Long who is waiting on God to send her a good man. She is actively dating but having a hard time finding someone on her spiritual level until she meets the magnificent Michael Stokes. But all that glitters is not gold. Tee and the object of her affection face many obstacles as they try to get to know one another in the midst of turmoil created by the fact that someone is stalking Michael.

"I hope readers will enjoy my message of faith that unfolds as characters Tee and Michael demonstrate what it takes to stand by your convictions, God’s ability to protect you from your predators and the benefits of waiting on God to grant your heart’s desires." -Jae Henderson, Author of Someday

DIVINE::What makes your new book unique?
JH::I wrote it and there is no one in the world like me. (just kidding!) One of the things that makes my book different from others is that it explores the benefits of celibacy and why God created sex for the marriage bed in an interesting and entertaining way. It even gives some insight into the female anatomy and why the average woman is not wired to easily give herself to multiple men. I also tried to realistically present the challenges that can come with living a celibate life. I often read books with celibate characters but they don’t delve into why they became celibate and how it has helped them. God has a reason for wanting us to flee from sexual immorality. And for those who just can’t seem to take that step or they are struggling, it talks about why you should at least be selective about who you share your body with. You are precious!


I really tried to convey God’s love and why He wants us to live for him. Many people think that being saved means you are no longer allowed to have fun. That is so not true. God wants to protect you, not prohibit you.


DIVINE::Name some writers who have had a big influence on you and your writing style.
JH::I can’t say that any one person has had a BIG influence on me. I read several different authors. Over the past few months my reading list has consisted of books by William P. Young, Anita Diamant, Latrivia Nelson, Marcus Matthews, Summer Owens, Victor McGlothin, Victoria Christopher Murray, DiShan Washington, and Darrien Lee. Of course I am a huge fan of the genre of urban Christian fiction. It has evolved considerable over the past few years. It’s more realistic, giving insight into the highs and lows of our lives and illustrating that none of us are perfect. We are actually quite flawed. We are all here because of God’s never ending grace.


DIVINE::What advice would you give to an aspiring author?
JH::Write what’s in your heart. So often we do what’s popular in order to make money but, no matter who you are or what walk of life you come from, there are people who can relate to you and will enjoy your writing. I also say draw from your experiences and the experiences of those around you. We all have an interesting story to tell.


DIVINE::Who/what drives Jae? What motivates you to make a difference in this world?
JH::My family has had the biggest impact on my life. As a child I was taught two things: 1) always put your best foot forward and 2) to whom much is given, much is required. I recognize that I have been tremendously blessed in the simplest of ways. I have breath in my body, activity of my limbs, I am capable of intellectual thought, I have amazing family and friends and a job that I love. I am by no means financially wealthy but I still consider myself rich. Therefore, it is my God-given charge to use my talents to enrich the lives of others. I have developed a passion for motivating others to be the best they can be by working hard to accomplish their goals. Life is a gift. Live it to the fullest!


DIVINE::What other exciting projects do you have in the works?
JH::This is the first of several books from the I’m A Good Woman series. “Someday” is a trilogy and I hope to release the second novel, “Someday, Too,” during the summer of 2011 and the last in 2012. I am also writing an e-book of short stories called “Five Things Every Good Woman Should Know.” In addition to the books, I am still offering motivation for women online at http://www.imagoodwoman.com/. You can also learn more about my books at that address. I added all kinds of little extras on there, especially for my readers.

7 Questions For...

Derrick Miles

He & Twin Brother Darrayl Miles make up The Dynamic Duo
& are the Creators of Milestone Motivation

DIVINE::Tell me about Milestone Motivation and what makes it unique?

Derrick:: Milestone Motivation is a marketplace ministry founded in 2009 by my identical twin brother Darrayl and I. Our focus is improving personal performance and corporate productivity by utilizing spiritual gifts. What we noticed in our former corporate careers as a sales professional and as an executive is that the lion's share of workers are dis-engaged in their jobs (approximately 75%; source Gallop 2002). This dis-engagement leads to burnout, frustration and ineffectiveness. The financial results of this dis-engagement is an overall loss in productivity to US corporation to the tune of $350 Billion annually.

What makes us unique is that we help people discover and utilize the gifts they have inside of themselves to improve their personal performance. As a former executive who was responsible for improving productivity every year the most effective way to achieve this goal is for your people to get better at what they do. The opposite spectrum to the Gallop study of 2002 is that the small percentage of workers that enjoyed their jobs and were creative; have command of their gifts and talents and they utilized them daily at work. We call them the "Superhuman Performers." Milestone believes that every individual is motivated, but it's the Milestone Motivation that will find and utilize what you already have inside of yourself to achieve Superhuman Performance and eliminate burnout, frustration and ineffectiveness at work within one year.

DIVINE::Who/What motivates The Dynamic Duo?

Derrick::There are several things that motivate us, but the most glaring is that most people don't enjoy what they do to earn a living. This simple fact leads to the burn-out, frustration and ineffectiveness we mentioned earlier. We are convinced by our own experiences, research and interviews with successful executives, entrepreneurs, celebrities and faith based leaders that this trend can shift when workers recognize what they already have inside themselves.

Another motivator is helping people not make the same mistakes we made. Case in point; chasing the American dream. I've had all the comforts of the so-called American dream and at the end of the day I was asking myself there has to be more to life than having a bunch of degrees, big houses, cars and a bank account. What I do now to help others has brought me more joy and growth opportunities in one year than the previous 37.

DIVINE::What your best advice about achieving success?

Derrick::One of the least understood principles for success, but most vital is that your God given gift will make room for you. What you were designed to be known for is your gift. It is in exercising this gift that you will find real fulfillment, purpose and contentment in your work. The same way Pharaoh appreciated the gift of Joseph is the identical appreciation workers will receive when they bring their gifts to work with them. To assist workers understand the gifts they have inside of themselves we created the Milestone Marketplace Gift Assessment. The assessment identifies 14 Spiritual Gifts that are pertinent to the marketplace. After completion of the Free 56-question online assessment workers will be better equipped to utilize the gifts inside of themselves to achieve Superhuman Performance. (www.milestonemotivation.com/gifts)

DIVINE::Who is your favorite Superhuman Performer? Why?

Derrick::I would say I have two favorite Superhuman Performers. The business example would be Peter J. Daniels and church example would be Pastor Sunday Adelaja. Both individuals came from extreme humble beginnings. Peter J. Daniels was an illiterate brick layer at the age of 26, but was obedient to God's word and used the gift planted in him that ultimately positions to give away more money in a lifetime than any other human being.

Pastor Sunday Adelaja is a Nigerian born leader in Ukraine and for four years no one showed up to his church until he also utilized the gift of Helps and now he has the largest church is Eastern Europe. What also makes them my favorite is that they travel the globe sharing their knowledge to the world to benefit mankind. The gestures of both men motivated us to create products akin to our book "Superhuman Performance and Superhuman Performance II" to share what we learned with the world so that people understand the power of what God has put inside of them.

DIVINE::What success tool could you not live without? Why?

Derrick:: The success tool I couldn't live without would be having a coach. If Tiger Woods needs a golf coach to improve his performance; then workers need a workplace coach to improve their performance. Personally, I have a business coach, a speaking coach, a PR coach and a Biblical Entrepreneurship coach. This investment has saved us thousands of dollars, generated multi-million dollar ideas and accelerated our business model to provide immediate value to our customers. However, we also recognize that securing a coach maybe out of the financial grasp of some workers. As a result, we have created a self-study program "Make Room In Your Life...Now! to allow workers to begin to realize the power of their spiritual gifts with a nominal investment.

DIVINE::Tell me about your new collection of books? What can readers expect?

Derrick::Our book collection include Superhuman Performance and Superhuman Performance II: Utilizing Your Gifts to Perform at Extraordinary Levels. In this series, our readers will benefit from world-wide research of successful executives, entrepreneurs, celebrities and faith based leaders. What we found is that the industries most successful know their Gifts and put them into practice each day in their life. To easily digest the thousands of hours of research and hundreds of interviews, we split the book into two digestible smaller works.

Superhuman Performance teaches us the Gifts of Administration, Craftsmanship, Discernment, Encouragement, Faith, Giving, and Helps/Service.

Superhuman Performance II continues the discussion by teaching us the Gifts of Hospitality, Knowledge, Leadership, Mercy/Compassion, Teaching, Wisdom and Writing.

After reading this revolutionary series, workers and corporations alike will have learned the key concept to achieve peak performance from each individual in the marketplace. Individuals that learn their Gift will have the foundation for experiencing joy, fulfillment and personal satisfaction in their work. Corporations will have a footprint to develop their workers that will lead to higher sales, customer service and higher productivity/performance.

DIVINE::What projects do you have planned for 2011?

Derrick::We are really excited about 2011. First and foremost we have the opportunity to share what we learned from the world's most successful executives, entrepreneurs, celebrities and faith based leaders to help improve the lives of others. We will be using the "Superhuman Performance" platform to share our knowledge through speaking engagements, seminars, training and coaching in faith-based and Christian corporate environments. We have partnered with some of the best marketplace ministries akin to Get Motivated, Dr. Robb Thompson, eShopEarns.com/milestone, etc to offer over $2k in complimentary tools to anyone that pre-orders "Superhuman Performance, Superhuman Performance II or both.

2011 is also a year we have begun the Milestone Motivation WorkLife Coaching System. This free online WorkLife Coaching System is delivered to the inbox twice per week for subscribed members and helps workers to deal with the issues that cause employees to lose their rhythm.

Finally, we are looking forward to producing an infomercial for Superhuman Performance which will include vignettes from several individuals that are included in the book series. This format will allow us to reach people worldwide about the importance of utilizing their gifts to perform at extraordinary levels.
