Natalie Ard helps break down the “big subject” of life and faith for kids through fun games, books and toys. She’s an entrepreneur, a small business owner, creator of books and games for children, author and Illustrator, and believer. She’s also a wife, and a mother to three!

A driven entrepreneur, Natalie built the Star From Afar Kids company on the foundation of creating inspirational, interactive games and toys that help children play with a purpose. Star From Afar Kids creates toys and games that are both meaningful and playful. Their mission is to inspire children and to spark their curiosity and creativity by developing products that deliver positive messages and create lasting family memories. Natalie is the creator, author, and illustrator of The Christmas Star From Afar® and The Easter Story Egg™. Growing the business from her dining room table, Star From Afar Kids products are now featured in Barnes & Noble, Cracker Barrel and on QVC.

A former stay-at-home mom (which is hard enough work!), Natalie has developed into an inspiring entrepreneur, learning along the way what to do - and what not to do. She proudly wears the title of both callings as a “mompreneur.”

Shane and Jocelyn were school teachers, on a teacher’s salary; just a normal working family, mortgage, two cars, two small kids… a regular American family stressed, working too many hours, spending too little time together, and struggling with debt. In the Summer of 2012 after some rough times at work, they decided to start an online business and take control of their destiny. They would go on to replace their income, quit their full-time jobs, make millions online and build the life of their dreams! Now they’re helping others control their own destiny with faith and hard work. “After helping a friend from church make money online, we realized we could help other families do what we did!”

Karleen says about herself:

"My goal as an author? To get your kids to LOVE reading as much as I did when I was their age…and as much as I still do! As a child, I had the goal (not met) to read every book in the children’s section of my local library. Through the books I write for ages 8 to 12, that’s the kind of fervor I hope to instill in kids today.

When I was raising my children and reading to them I often commented, “I could write something better than this.” Ideas began to develop and eventually, I wrote my first book, an early reader chapter book. Like most first books, it had structural problems, grammar errors and plot holes, but it was a start.

I joined the Florida Writers Association in 2004, which has been an immense help in developing my writing skills. That year, one of my books won 2nd place in the Juvenile division of their Florida Palms Literary Awards. Two other books were RPLA finalists in 2010.

In 2009 and again in 2011 I won a generous scholarship to the Highlights Foundation Writers Workshop, a conference I highly recommend to people interested in writing for children.

In 2010 I became interested in e-publishing and the new opportunities it gives to authors. That led me to create my popular blog, KidsEBookBestsellers.com which ran for five years until 2015.

My writing has been published in Highlights Magazine for Children and Odyssey Science Magazine for Children (now merged with Muse Magazine.) I continue to write books, with more ideas patiently waiting their turn in the queue."

Michael Gebben spent 7 years building a video company that was the envy of everyone in his field, GebbsTV. Until, one day, he woke up to the realization that he'd built a cage of his own making. And given up so much of his life in the name of something that didn't really mean a whole lot.

So he hit reset, and over the last three years, rebuilt his life and his career around what matters and even launched a new inspirational YouTube channel. He has profoundly changed his metrics for success.

Michael's current company Jumpstarters helps creative entrepreneurs to get over the same hurdles that he was able to conquer, allowing him to work with individuals such as Tim Ferriss, Tony Robbins, and Richard Branson. Michael is a big believer in Massive Imperfect Action rather than getting stuck in the minutiae and never moving forward.

Marc Miller’s career journey included 22 years at IBM, several thriving tech startups, a stint as a high school math teacher, a gig raising funds for the Jewish Community Center and a near fatal bicycle accident that changed his perspective forever.

But after thirty years of wandering the proverbial career desert, often repeating the same mistakes over and over, Marc learned his most crucial lesson:

Most people don’t really know what makes them happy at their core, what fulfills them.

They pursue money, status, a skill set, all of which provide some level of satisfaction, but not contentment. They wind up feeling frustrated and trapped. Others have figured out what they need, but don’t know how to chart a course to get there.

An active member of the Launch Pad Job Club, Marc found himself counseling friends and associates on their career journeys and finally realized he’d found his vocation. He now uses his extensive training experience to help others—especially Baby Boomers— and careers that they could grow into for the decades that lie ahead.

Todd Tresidder is a financial coach and educator at FinancialMentor.com. He's the author of five financial planning books including 'How Much Money Do I Need To Retire?,' 'Don't Hire A Financial Coach,' and 'Variable Annuity Pros and Cons.' You can connect with Todd via his website, Financialmentor.com, Twitter @FinancialMentor, or on Google+.

Todd graduated from the University of California at Davis with a B.A. in economics and a passion for creating successful businesses. A serial entrepreneur since childhood, Todd went on to build his own wealth as a hedge fund investment manager before "retiring" at 35.

Todd teaches the principles of personal finance and investing based on real experience. He shows you what works, what doesn’t, and why – with a unique focus on combining personal development with a systematic, disciplined approach to achieving financial freedom.

Todd’s own path to financial freedom consisted of leading an ordinary but comfortable lifestyle that prioritized building wealth instead of overhead, and freedom over flash. The truth is financial freedom isn’t about more, better, different stuff. It’s about having the time, money, and freedom to enjoy your life experience without limitations.

For Todd, that means an outdoor adventure lifestyle, intellectual pursuits, and relationships. First on the list is family and friends closely followed by reading stimulating books, enjoying outdoor recreation like running, swimming, skiing, hiking, cycling, camping, backpacking, and travel. Personal growth is also a high priority.

None of what Todd truly values costs much money, but it does take time. This is one of the hidden gems to financial freedom: having the time to do what gives you more joy in life without the worry, stress, and anxiety caused by money.

Todd teaches the pursuit of financial freedom as a transformational path because that was his experience. Money is always nice, but ultimately it’s just a tool – the inner transformation is the bigger reward.

And that is why Todd founded Financial Mentor – to share this journey with others and to grow a community of like minded individuals who are passionate about building wealth and financial freedom because it improves the quality of life for you and your family.

Tristan is a qualified Physiotherapist from The University of Melbourne who started his career with a dream to become a Sports Physiotherapist and work with the mighty Richmond Tigers in the AFL. Over the following 12 months, he created himself a job helping the elderly in a few nursing homes across Melbourne.

As The Physio Co (TPC) has grown, Tristan has obsessed over creating the best business he possibly can, he figured out a way to create a strong culture that not only worked at TPC but can be systemised and tailored to other businesses. His experiences have led him to believe culture is everything.

Carrie started her entrepreneurial career early on in grade school when she created potholders to sell door to door, tried selling lemonade on the street corner & other ventures where she would trade things she owned for things she wanted. 

For the last 16 years, she & her husband have been crisscrossing the country having moved 9 times, a true road warrior. So, being corporate gypsies (as her husband calls it), she t created a part-time side hustle which she turned into a flourishing 6-figure online retail empire for over a decade.
Being the entrepreneurial visionary

and not satisfied to stay comfortable in one business, Carrie started her new gig, Bold & Sassy Solutions which helps struggling women entrepreneurs save their businesses and their dreams. She created Bold & Sassy because she was absolutely sick of seeing intelligent, hard-working, gifted women constantly struggle & give up because they were plagued with fear, frustration, confusion, distraction, burnout, lack of confidence & courage and so many deadly dream stealers.
Carrie & her team help women entrepreneurs Get Out of Their Own Way, Own Their “Real” Voice, Take Massive, Focused Action & Create Serious Bankable “Profit.” “Because it’s not how much you make, it’s how much you keep.”
Her raw, get real, bottom-line style has made her a favorite among her social circles. Her philosophy is “Live Life on the Edge or Just Go Home.” The battle cry the Bold & Sassy Community is “Kick A%$. Break the Rules. Make Sh%# Happen. And NEVER, EVER GIVE UP!”
