Please join us for a very special hour with guest Frank Stallone. Grammy and Golden Globe nominated artist Frank Stallone is one of the most versatile actors, singers and musicians in the business. Frank has garnered three Platinum Albums, ten Gold Albums and five Gold Singles and has acted in over 60 films and TV shows.He has written and published over 200 songs and has written and recorded compositions for eight films, including Rocky I, II and III, Rambo II, Paradise Alley and Over the Top. But, it was Frank’s eleven songs that he wrote and recorded for the Saturday Night Fever Sequel Staying Alive that earned him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Sound Track and a Grammy nomination for Best Original Song with his single, Far From Over. At a young age, the Maryland-born, Philadelphia-raised native pursued his musical ambitions, forming a series of bands, and finally turned professional at the tender age of 15 (“I had to lie about my age,” admits Frank). His group, Valentine, included lead guitarist John Oates (Hall and Oates) and was signed to RCA Records in 1975, when they recorded their first album. Frank made his on-screen singing debut, performing the self-penned acapella song, Take You Back in the opening scene of the film Rocky. “The only reason I got the part was that I was the only musician my brother, Sylvester, knew…and I worked cheap.” Frank is a guitar, boxing, music, mafia and art aficionado and is an avid collector of guitars, guns and boxing memorabilia. When he’s not writing songs or filming a project, he can be found on a shooting range or at the gym.

Join hosts Gary Kobat and Elizabeth Hamilton for an hour long coaching session - Rediscovering Your Self Worth. We seek what we already have. No matter our age or circumstance, all our answers are inside. Navigating the path of infinite possibilities is real and attainable, if we choose. However, life can be crazy: up and down, high and low, prosperous and non-prosperous. We can win gold medals at 15, walk the red carpet and win an Oscar at 23, have twins, build a new house, a business, yet be unfulfilled, and not have peace. Inner peace and joy, along with manifesting what we truly desire in life comes from conscious thinking and feeling, pure, authentic high vibrational energy, and the mindful,  unconditional use of the universal laws of love, worthiness, willingness, readiness, deservingness, acceptance, forgiveness, allowing, alignment, resistance, self-care, courage, compassion, and nourishment — from the inside out. Accepting others, and our dreams, our goals, and Olympic-type accomplishments in life starts with accepting ourselves first. It starts with having a loving relationship with ourselves — starting now and lasting forever. Register for Gary's Weekend Retreat Oct 27 - 28 in Toronto.

The Best Ever You Show is extremely honored to welcome Joan Benedict Steiger as our guest.  Decades of work on stage, screen, and television and the love of three devoted men sounds like a full life; but in many ways, the story is just beginning for veteran performer Joan Benedict Steiger.  With credits dating back to the original “Candid Camera” on television to her acclaimed solo performance as Leona Helmsley, she has lived the artistic life she first dreamed of as a child in Brooklyn, New York – and the dream shows no signs of ending. Throughout her life, Joan Benedict Steiger has worked simultaneously on stage, in film, and on television.  She’s still remembered for a classic bit from the original version of “Candid Camera,” where she played a lost tourist looking for directions from passersby, making sure that her fancy hat – beplumed with a particularly large feather – would distract them at every opportunity.  She was also part of the ensemble of the original “Steve Allen Show,” where she did double duty as the spokesperson for Hazel Bishop cosmetics.  On daytime drama, she had regular and recurring roles on “General Hospital,” “Days of our Lives,” and “Capitol.”  Her dozens of series guest appearances include classic series like “Fantasy Island,” “T.J. Hooker,” “The Incredible Hulk” and, most recently, Fox’s “Dollhouse. For more information visit www.joanbenedictsteiger.com

Mrs. Minnesota of Minneapolis, Sarah Bazey, 46, was crowned Mrs. International 2012, Saturday, July 21 at the 27th Annual Mrs. International Pageant in Skokie, Ill.  The two-hour event, held at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts, featured nearly 60 contestants from around the world competing in three categories, including interview, fitness-wear and evening gown.  Bazey was crowned Mrs. International by her husband, Joseph, before a sold-out audience.             A Harvard Business School graduate and an accomplished business professional, Bazey is the owner and president of Minneapolis-based Simplex Construction Supplies, Inc., which celebrates its 25th anniversary this month.   In 1994, Bazey chartered a helicopter to survey a concrete paving project for which her company supplied construction materials; the flight ended in a horrific crash.  Belted inside the helicopter and dowsed in jet fuel, Bazey suffered third-degree burns over 40 percent of her body when the helicopter exploded.  She went on to endure 15 surgeries, 18 months of therapy and countless medical procedures. Today, she proudly serves as Vice President of the National Board of Trustees for the Phoenix Society, a national, nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering burn victims through support programs, education and advocacy.           Bazey also has served as a volunteer at Regions Hospital in St. Paul, MN since 1995 helping other burn patients.  In 2001, the Phoenix Society launched its Survivor Offering Assistance in Recovery (SOAR) program and she has continued to volunteer at the hospital through this program.  Additionally, she has been a keynote speaker for the World Burn Congress.

Entrepreneur, Jennifer Gerard started the highly successful Whitening Lightning as a mobile teeth-whitening service in Los Angeles.  Within two years, she saw her business reach record internet sales with the introduction of her flagship product, the Whitening Lightning Super Booster Teeth Whitening Pen.    Never one to rest on her laurels, Gerard realized a growing demand for teeth whitening products that could achieve professional results at a lesser cost. Gerard soon introduced the Whitening Lightning Professional Home Teeth Whitening System.  Again, she saw record sales with daily orders originating in over 80 countries.   Today, Gerard’s online professional teeth whitening products continue to break sales records and have gained critical acclaim and attention from such publications as InStyle, Soap Opera Weekly, OK, US Weekly and on many beauty blogs and websites.   Raised in the Santa Clarita Valley outside Los Angeles, Gerard attended California State University at Northridge where she studied Political Science.  With plans to attend law school, she was soon distracted by a high paying sales job in corporate America.  After 22 years as a sales manager and with encouragement from a friend, Gerard started her own business traveling to peoples’ homes and offices doing teeth whitening.  “At first, I did not want to do teeth whitening because I thought it was disgusting to put my fingers in other people’s mouths”, laughs Gerard.  This ‘disgust’ soon subsided when she learned about the growing need for such services and how profitable it could be.   Jennifer Gerard continues to realize her gift for sales and marketing in the ever-expanding business of teeth whitening, smile enhancement and beauty.  Her Whitening Lightning brand has expanded to include the eco-friendly Zero White Whitening Pen, Color Your S
