Join host Patrick Laing on the latest episode of Finding Certainty, where he sits down with Bill Hoffmann, an accomplished serial entrepreneur, multi-millionaire, and business leader. This week's episode highlights Hoffman's inspiring story of success and focuses on topics such as reinvention, residual income, leverage, and service, among others. A highlight of the show is the discussion of the revolutionary Health Sharing program Mr. Hoffman is helping spearhead, which is now available to VoiceAmerica's listeners and Americans all across the country (even those who haven't received their SSN yet and only have an ITIN). Similar to traditional insurance PPO plans, this program allows individuals to visit any medical provider, but enjoy savings from 30% to 50% or even more. With millions of Americans currently uninsured and struggling with healthcare expenses, the program provides a much-needed, long-overdue solution of relief. Through the leverage of collective group buying power, cutting edge technology, and by removing the pressures of profit driven shareholders, board members, and greedy corporations, the non-profit organization behind this project offers a game-changing solution that's empowering individuals and employers to take back control of their healthcare costs. Listeners will discover how they, their loved ones, their employers/employees, and others can benefit from this breakthrough program and enjoy enduring peace of mind. In addition to this focus, listeners will also learn about Hoffman's other successful ventures, including iPop Sales, a disruptive merchant processing company, and ZenDelivery, a truly win-win food delivery service.

This week on Finding Certainty, headliner host, Patrick Laing, has a compelling conversation with April Porter, a former prosecuting attorney and judge, and the owner of the growing franchise service and support organization, Ask April Porter. April has been recognized as a top influencer in the Global Franchising Industry and hosts the #1 Franchisee Podcast on Apple - The Infinite Franchisee Show. Her long career of defending the vulnerable and fighting for underdogs has prepared her well for her current role of empowering franchise owners to find Sanity, Wealth, and Gratitude (SWAG) in their businesses and personal lives.

The conversation highlights the challenge that franchisees face in areas such as marketing, sales, accounting, lead generation, branding, and SEO, and the need for systems and tools to support them. The importance of collaboration and finding new approaches, technologies, tools, and relationships is emphasized as it contributes to the franchisees' growth and success.

Only 20% of people in the United States can currently get approved for a home loan yet Louis Brown with Certified Affordable Housing Provider explains how this percentage can change and is changing with the CAHP “Path to Home Ownership” program, the first education program/company of its kind that's blending a powerful entrepreneurial opportunity with helping meet the long-held goal so many Americans have of owning their own home someday. Patrick Laing, headliner host of the VoiceAmerica Business radio show, Finding Certainty, visits with the nationally renowned real estate expert as the two address the housing market's alarming conditions, especially for Post 9/11 Era veterans. The cost burdens for these veterans (and others) are significantly higher compared to previous generations, with a 35% average cost-burden, leading to wide-spread housing affordability struggles (this means that ~ 35% of their income is used on housing expenses, such as rent or mortgage payments, property taxes, utilities, and insurance). 21st Century veterans are far less likely than previous generations to own their homes, with less than 50% of Post 9/11 veterans benefiting from the VA loan program's broad access to zero-down mortgages with favorable rates. These trends are concerning, and younger veterans especially seem to face their own unique homeownership challenges today. While younger households are usually less likely to own a home in general, this trend persists and is even more exaggerated for Post 9/11 veterans, even when controlling for demographics. Louis Brown is working to empower these warriors and others like them in their pursuit of the American Dream of homeownership.

This week on Finding Certainty, headliner host, Patrick Laing, takes a somewhat different approach to the show’s theme and style by focusing on a new/emerging entrepreneur rather than a longer-established business owner or influencer. He discusses the thrills, worries, challenges, and hopes with a long-time Corporate American manager who is making the leap from employee-to-self-employed even as we speak. Robert Mesch has had a long and storied career as an imaging technology sales professional, manager, and trainer. With 30+ years in the industry he’s seen the best and the worst of the space while working for some of the largest providers in the world. He’s experienced an impressive level of success and received a great deal of recognition, but also dealt with the recurring lack of control and lack of CERTAINTY that come with working for others. He shares with Finding Certainty’s listeners why he decided it was time to make the transition to ownership and why he named his firm Integrity’s Path LLC. He also addresses why he’s made the American Southwest his home for years (and never plans to move). Together, Robert and Patrick, discuss Robert's career, his transition, and Certainty Management’s own print/copy cost-reduction service, not to mention, one of Robert’s key secrets to consistent, forecastable sales success. He also shares a few of the key points he recently learned at Tony Robbins's Unshakeable Challenge event, lessons and principles that seem ideally, even serendipitously, timed for his new venture.

They also touch on the process and challenges of nonprofit grant writing today, some of her favorite memories and successes helping groups ranging from refugees to heroes in the fight against sex trafficking, and more, not to mention some of the ways she and her friends at Certainty Management are “reinventing fundraising” as we know it.

As we embark on this New Year, most of us feel the usual combination of hope and hyperventilation, faith and foreboding, love and loneliness, and everything in-between. It’s different for all of us but there are certainly themes that most of us experience and with which we can usually relate ... and stress seems to be in the mix for us all. The holidays and all their craziness are past us and a Brand New Year has dawned. Many of us pause, even just for a moment and ask, “How can THIS year be better than the LAST in a few big or small ways.” Today’s guest on Finding Certainty, Sara Nakamura, can help.

In 2022 I had the privilege of being invited to a power lunch with billionaire small business coach, Bill Walsh, by my good friends, Simone and Rick Kvalheim, Alzheimer's reversal experts and owners of X-cellerated Health. Bill and I hit it off, I signed up to attend his upcoming Rainmaker Summit and became a member of his Powerteam International “tribe,” and we ended up spending several hours together the next day, analyzing our business and talking about how to take it to the next level. I attended Bill's Q4 2022 summit in Orlando, Florida with 3 of my team members ... right in the middle of Hurricane Ian (in October 2022). It was here that I met and became fast friends with his two wildly talented sons, Austin and Evan. Austin spoke at their event in Orlando (in October) and later in Vegas (this last December) and I was really impressed with his expertise and insights on online funnel work, digital marketing, and conversion, not to mention his skill as a speaker. He's a co-owner in PTI and the family's online text message/email marketing software company, MOBEX and he has built an impressive career as a world renowned marketing expert. Over the next few weeks, I’ll also be interviewing Evan, Austin’s brother, and a talented musician and BEATS producer, as well as Mr. Rainmaker himself, their father, Bill Walsh (Evan is scheduled for 2/3 here on Finding Certainty and Bill is scheduled for 3/3)—the Walsh Family Trifecta, as it were. It’s been a pleasure getting to know them, becoming friends, and learning from this First Family of International Small Business Success. Today’s episode focuses on Austin’s personal story, his own successful international speaking and consulting career, his expertise as an online marketer and conversion expert, and how it’s played a significant role in the global expansion of their family’s multi-million-dollar enterprise that’s changing small business both domestically and abroad.

This week on Finding Certainty, show host Patrick Laing visits with global fashion consultant, Charlotte Hart, on how she helps women all over the world to revamp their wardrobes and find more joy and satisfaction in their closets, working with them one-on-one or in groups to help define their styles, interests, needs, and more. “Think of [your closet] as a pantry in the kitchen,” she says. “When you have the basics – you can most often put a good meal together, even when you receive unexpected guests. Same goes for your closet. It’s not about having a closet full of clothes, and perhaps nothing to wear, but rather building one with staples you know flatter you and that you feel confident and comfortable in. Keep the 80/20 rule in mind,” she continues. “80% of the time you go in your closet, you will pick (the same) 20% of the pieces in there. So, let’s make those 20% the best they can be for you, and play with some fun additions when the mood strikes you. Being able to go into your closet and easily put an outfit together in 2 minutes, dressed to look good and feel great all day – that’s key in my book.” This episode offers a unique look at fashion, style, personal preference, and confidence in women (and all of us), woven into an engaging conversation on what it takes to build a successful business that endures (and even changes lives) for years. Charlotte has done exactly that and continues to do so. It makes for an engaging dialogue on business, certainty, living, and life.

We’re keeping things close to home this week on Finding Certainty as I interview one of my favorite financial planners right here in Henderson, Nevada, the community (a suburb of Las Vegas) that we are both blessed to call home. Call it my Special New Year’s Gift to you and those you care for … this short, engaging conversation with Cindy Birkland of Eternity Financial, AND Ministries, and the popular local Speakeasy Networking Events. Cindy does a lot and, is highly respected and loved, especially here in Vegas, and in our conversation, you’ll hear her draw back the curtain on wealth building and retirement planning as she shares her own story of having to start over financially following the 2008 collapse and the lessons she subsequently learned and now shares with her clients. There were (and are) far better ways to be prepared financially, she says. It’s an insightful conversation on important topics that hit close to home for many Americans. Among other things, we delve into a little-known investment strategy that is so simple yet powerful it’s hard to believe more people don’t do it (hint: it’s usually because they just don’t know it exists). We also discuss how Cindy and a large group of local business people chose to respond and not give up when the governor shut down Las Vegas during the COVID pandemic and the way it changed (and helped save) many of their operations. The list goes on. You’ll learn a great deal from my friend. Listen in and you’ll be glad that you did. To learn more, go to https://cindybirkland.com.

This week on Finding Certainty, I’m pleased to have a new friend of mine, Dawna Campbell, the multi-best-selling author and founder of The Healing Heart, Inc., meet with us and discuss a few of the remarkable things she’s doing for her friends and clients all over the world.

We discuss her best-selling book and a few of the ways she helps bring about this increase in revenue for her clients, the international company she founded and runs, and the magazine to which she’s a monthly contributor and author, Best Holistic Life (hint, hint: one of the main ways she makes such a difference in her clients' lives is the fact she can reprogram your subconscious brain). It’s a powerful approach that isn’t limited to just your finances, but can bless and improve virtually every area of your life and do so so quickly you have to see it to believe it. As Dawna describes it, she helps “empower heart-centered individuals to achieve instant results.” Additionally, we discuss Donna’s work as Director of Training for The Mentors Studio, a worldwide organization with members across the globe, a group of professionals from all disciplines of business including coaches, professional speakers, financial services professionals, medical doctors, engineers, and many more.

My guest today on Finding Certainty is a Senior Living Expert, Age Reversal Coach, and World-Renowned Public Speaker. She’s also a close friend of mine, together with her husband, Rick. It is my pleasure to have Simone Kvalheim on our show today to discuss her background and impressive work in the realm of Alzheimer’s Reversal and Healthy, Less Stressful Senior Transition. Alzheimer’s recovery is real and Simone can show you how to bless anyone you know is in need. She has first-hand experience, helping her own father transition from not knowing his grandchildren to a vibrant and empowered existence for the last several years of his life. As a champion in the fight for Personal Health, Self-Care, and Longevity, Simone is committed to adding “Years to Life and Life to Years”! She knows it’s possible and knows how to help. She believes that the body is a phenomenal piece of organic architecture comprised of sound and light waves, a beautiful bundle of frequencies and faculties tuned into the universe, and whatever the body manifests it can accomplish. A core principle of her work and outlook is that the body has the capacity to HEAL ITSELF, given the appropriate information and signals. Her commitment to Alzheimer’s Prevention and Recovery is dear to her heart and she believes that women are at the epicenter of the Alzheimer’s Crisis and of developing real, long-lasting solutions and cures. In her words, “It is time to stand up and be at the HEART of the solution.” In collaboration with her husband, Rick, Simone has developed an extraordinary movement entitled Alzheimer’s Recovery is Real. They stand for Prevention and Recovery based on Epigenetics and Lifestyle. They also are strong advocate against, as they call it, the “Sick Care Cabal-Big Pharma,” Monsanto, Allopathic Medication Contraindications, the Alzheimer’s Foundation, and the Media. None of the above have saved a single person from dying from Alzheimer’s, she says. Rather than an epidemic, Alzheimer’s should be a blip on the radar like Polio and there are solutions! To learn what those are, please listen in to today’s episode. All the way from Zimbabwe via Las Vegas, Nevada … Superstar, Simone Kvalheim.

This week on Finding Certainty, headliner host Patrick Laing visits with Jared Harrington, a professional basketball player with the NBA Africa League, known as the B.A.L. (Basketball Africa League). Patrick and Jared discuss his impressive resume of achievements as a 25-year-old entrepreneur, philanthropist, and NBA athlete. They continue the conversation started last week with Lloyd Ward of Ward Holdings, Inc., on the growing development and emergence of Africa as a financial leader internationally, and discuss Jared’s role as a celebrity business development sponsor with WHI. With over 60% of the arable land in the world, Africa may well be the worldwide leader in sustainable food production in the decades to come. It is much more than just an agricultural continent though. A dynamic collection of cultures, diversity, adventure, sports, cutting-edge technology, design, music, entrepreneurship, and more, Jared is well-suited to comment on the present reality and future potentiality of Africa and its relationship with the U.S.A. and the rest of the world. He discusses the “rebranding” of Africa, his NBA career thus far, as well his dual intercontinental company, Beat the Odds Ventures, and also his nonprofit foundation, Beat the Odds Global, which has its footprint in both Africa as well as the United States. They also discuss the upcoming conference Jared is spearheading this next week in Washington DC and why it may just be one of the hottest tickets in town.

Recently, I was invited to speak at a big CEO Summit at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. Hundreds of CEOs from across America and around the globe were in attendance, all gathered together to exchange ideas and develop relationships. The Dean of the LU School of Business, Dave Brat, did a masterful job of organizing, leading, and mc'ing the event. Newt Gingritch was a keynote speaker, as was the President of Ghana, Winsome Sears, Lt. Governor of Virginia, and others. We met some incredible leaders and made some powerful business connections as well as lifelong friends. If you haven't ever been to the Liberty University campus, I highly recommend you check it out. It's a beautiful, clean campus and the students we met were outstanding ... clean-cut, articulate, and happy they seemed. As the largest evangelical Christian college in the U.S., the whole experience was an impressive, even spiritual, event and I'm grateful my team and I were able to attend. One of the unique things, about this annual CEO Summit is that a large portion of the attendees come from Africa and/or are focused on increasing trade relations between Africa and the U.S. Among other things, the Summit is a remarkable collaboration between U.S. interests and African interests, a braintrust and bridge-building exchange that is inspiring to say the least. As part of this visit, my VoiceAmerica colleague, Frank Helring, host of BizZne$$ BuzZ, who attended with me, and I, met a gifted grouping of black American leaders who are bringing about change in Africa that will be felt for generations to come. Led by CEO and Founder of Ward Holdings, Lloyd Ward, the first African American CEO of a Fortune 500 company in the U.S., to say the group is impressive is an understatement indeed. You may not know this, but Africa is one of the largest continents on the planet and represents as much as 60% of global resources but, a shocking statistic we also learned was that it only accounts for TWO PERCENT of the world's GNP! Why is this? It's hard to believe but it's true, due largely to colonization, marginalization, mismanagement, corruption, and more. All that's about to change though. Mr. Ward shares his story today on Finding Certainty, of how he has been guided, prepared, and CALLED even, to spearhead this multi-trillion dollar development, about how he and his extremely talented team are well underway in opening the floodgates of Africa, and with them, new opportunities for prosperity and equity for the people of Africa and beyond. We talk about Ward Holdings' current pre-IPO and what it consists of, why it is paramount they make the movement (and company) public, and how he and his team's years of experience were, in fact, the missing piece for bringing it to pass. If you want to hear a truly inspiring story of business disruption, development, and even destiny, you don't want to miss this show.

This week on Finding Certainty, host Patrick Laing visits with co-founder and president of LifeExec, Mr. Ken York, discussing small business health benefits as a strategy. One of the greatest needs for businesses and their teams these days is affordable health coverage. It's an enormous demand and is generally the # 1 benefit employees are seeking and, as such, one of the most important recruiting and retention tools a business can have. The problem is that many employees simply can't afford the options available to them, even when offered. Only 4% of employees nationally, we've been told, actually accept their employers' plans, if they have to pay for them. Millions of Americans are currently underinsured or totally uninsured, and it's not because they don't want coverage. Certainty Management, in partnership with LifeExec, has a solution to this nationwide epidemic.

This week on Finding Certainty, headliner host Patrick Laing visits with Dr. Mary Lee, Founder and CEO of Neighborhood Commerce Institute, discussing, among other things, the iGames Faith-Based Funding League she owns, a powerful nonprofit fundraiser, working in partnership with The Funding League, EACL, Workforce Development, AmeriCorps / VISTA, HUD, the Department of Education, and more. Through Dr. Lee's iGames Faith-Based Funding League, organized and responsible community members and leaders are utilizing the multi-trillion dollar global eSports industry and the massive interest in video games and video game competition to raise funding for neighborhood grants and development in an innovative and inspiring way. In collaboration with Dr. Lee's own nonprofit, Dreams of our Dead Homies Coalition, they're also working together to help address the black neighborhood gun violence amongst young black males. The project includes an all-inclusive STEM/STEAM project designed to help change the trajectory of 3.6 million youth and their families in underserved communities nationwide. This is a wholistic case management approach to help address the family needs in totality and to bridge need and resources gaps beyond government assistance.
