She has been an insurance agent for 20 years and has used her experience to make positive changes. Now she shares her information weekly in her real estate group and Win, Win Women TV. In July 2020, she bought a Bank Owned Property for $20,000 that would go to auction for $50,000 when Covid restrictions lifted. She knew her Capital Gains would be $7,140 and researched how the rich paid so little in taxes. This led her to find the Business and Spendthrift Trusts. Currently, Capital Gains are 23.8% on any profit. There is passed legislation to raise this to 40% for some tax levels. The IRS is hiring 87,000 new agents. The Spendthrift Trust defers Capital Gains into infinity and beyond and keeps people's judgment proof, and their information private.

With the frustration he had personally when calling his Television, internet, and other home service providers, he knew we could make a difference in this industry. He knew that finding home services and getting help with home services didn't have to be this difficult after you had become a customer. Because he didn't know the business, he knew how important it was to learn it by starting at the bottom and working his way up. He knew nothing about home services then, so he dived deep into learning about the industry. He knew that he wanted to make a change that made a difference in his life but also in the lives of others. He started down this path in 2010 and has helped over 10,000 customers with their TV, Internet, Home Security, and Solar services.

In this episode, we are joined today by an awareness and creativity educator, speaker, author, and artist, Michaell Magrutsche. He talks about how he found art through his quest for something that he could relate to, and he also shares how the act of creating art can be a person's superpower that is applicable to creativity, leadership, relationship, and whatever a person focuses on. Michaell's dyslexia and dysgraphia forced him to develop an awareness of seeing the world purely from a human perspective. Creating art completed his awareness of what it is to be human-relevant vs. system-relevant. Michaell's talent is recognizing awareness to seed a new consciousness that allows us to unveil the untapped superpowers of human limitlessness, art/creativity, healthy discourse, and adaptability to make all humans fit within our human tapestry. Because Michaell has been a sick child, is also dyslexic, and has dysgraphia (hand-eye coordination), he could only navigate in very few systems. Michaell was forced to find his salvation in art. Interacting and creating art outside of systems helped him feel humane and got him through life. Michaell is completely self-taught. Art allowed him to experience life with other humans, and 5 books later, Michaell produced with Robert Evans and became a City Arts Commissioner, etc. Today, Michaell keeps unveiling the limitations of all man-made systems like technology, science, economy, and generalized knowledge to change systems to be more human-adaptable instead of humans keep forcing themselves to be system adaptive. Michaell's mission is to show us something very different.

In today's episode, we speak to the Marketing and Business Development Manager of Crowdspring, Jason Byer. He talks about the importance of good personal branding, learning the ropes of marketing, and how he used the same strategies to be where he is today. Jason Byer is the marketing and partnerships manager for Crowdspring, a Chicago-based branding company that helps businesses, agencies, and non-profits of any size start, run and grow their business through great design and naming. Crowdspring dramatically simplifies the design process by handling the complexity so that you can focus on getting great results. Crowdspring started to address a fundamental problem with the design process, most clients had little choice, and most designers had few opportunities to find clients. Jason is the oldest of 7 children. He was raised and attended school in Florida but realized he needed to feel a change of seasons, so he moved to Chicago. He's equally comfortable reading The Game of Thrones and Dostoyevsky while training for triathlons and endurance races and brewing beer. He authored Get the Job: How to Use Personal Branding to Jump-Start a Career and Dominate the Competition.
