Jason Elkins We Are Transparent.com   In 2010 when his current boss at the web design firm he worked for asked him to come into his office for a minute, Jason Elkins thought “Finally, this was the job promotion meeting I’ve been waiting for.”   Instead his boss looked at him straight faced and in a deadpan tone said “we’re eliminating two positions today and your position is one of them.”   After a surreal 10-minute drive home and sharing the news with his always supportive spouse, Jason and his wife spent the weekend talking, praying and spending time with their children. Then his wife said something that would change his purpose for work and life. She said, “Maybe now you will start that business you are destined to start. God told me that this was going to happen. He’s given me total peace. We are going to be fine and I believe in you.”   From that day forward, Jason has spent his time developing and creating a business from his passions. With a background in relationship building, technology sales and web design, Jason had a knack and fascination with social media and its impact on the business world.

Meet Steve Rizzo, author of Amazon's Best Selling book Get Your Shift Together.    Once upon a time, Steve Rizzo was told by a guidance counselor that he didn’t have the intelligence for college.  And having been saddled with the dubious high school honer of being voted “Least Likely to Succeed,” Steve didn’t give himself much of a chance to emerge as anything special, much less a world-class comedian or a hall of fame speaker and trainer.  Years of negativity had led him to believe that dreams were the luxury of only a fortunate few.    “Looking back,” says Steve, “I can see how and why I sabotaged so many opportunities.  My perceived limitations had me very confused.  I had a fear of failure and a fear of success. I knew I had talent, but I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t being given a chance.  I finally realized that opportunity had been knocking all along…I was just afraid to open the door.”    Steve went on to surprise everyone, including himself, by excelling with honors at the university and post-graduate levels.  Eventually Steve even taught at his old high school, proving once and for all that guidance counselors are not fortune-tellers.    Steve has spent much of his own life learning how to pursue and achieve is own definition of success.  Luckily for audiences across the country and around the world that definition has evolved to include showing others his blueprint for realizing their dreams and achieving personal excellence and professional satisfaction.
