You Never Stop Learning! - With guest Donna Pippins
Episode #50:  I had a chance to sit down with Donna Pippins and ask her about her journey into the Financial Service industry.  Donna is an AVP with Appreciation Financial, a 100K Ring Earner, and a consistent member of the 10K and 25K club.  So what is the secret that Donna uses to be so successful in this industry?  Is it because she has the best strategy, the most amount of industry knowledge, and is a savage when it comes to sales?  Actually it's quite the contrary.  Donna gets in relationships with her clients, connects emotionally, and says to "just be human".  Please join this H.O.T. conversation to find out what that acronym stands for.  You will be glad you did!Bio:Donna Pippins came to Appreciation Financial from the corporate and nonprofit world nearly 6 years ago, looking for freedom.  Freedom from the 9-5 grind and freedom from a job where she made a good living but no longer felt passion for what she was doing.  She wasn’t looking for financial services but soon realized it offered her a way to do what she loves –help and educate people, connect them to resources, and make a difference. Now she gets to work with other leaders committed to their own growth and success, while she ensures that her future is secure. Contact Donna:Email: [email protected]

Episode #43:  Description-  Can changing one habit lead to creating a whole new world and opportunity for you and many others?  That is a question that I had the chance to explore with Derrick Caldwell Jr (affectionately known as DC).  DC has an infectious smile and attitude that makes everyone feel better in his presence.  He makes it look so easy to smile and live life to the fullest.  What you may not know is that DC poured serious work into himself to create this persona.  Thank goodness that he did as he is now influencing so many people to do the same.  Join this lively conversation that is inspiring and educational all at once!Bio:Derrick Charles Caldwell Jr. (DC Caldwell) was born in the gang infested streets of Stockton CA raised by two very different parents. His mother was raised in the church and his father was a jack of trades, both professionally and criminally. By the age of 5 DC's mom was a single mother, driving the city bus to raise him and his sister with the support of his great grandparents.DC's father was gunned down and paralyzed, and later passed away from complications when DC was just entering adulthood. Searching for a way out, DC started his career in sales at a used car lot and his first leap into business ownership by becoming a barber. Derrick was exposed to a lifestyle of crime and poverty and had every opportunity to repeat the cycle. However, his determination to excel would lead him to a life of personal development in health and fitness which has created a new cycle for him and the generations to come.Contact Derrick:Email - [email protected]

There's No Accidental Intersection - With guest James Rigg

With the many twists and turns of life, he had attended a total of five High Schools before graduating from Grand Forks Central High in Grand Forks North Dakota.
