I slowly open the door and push the kitchen chairs away to crawl out into the light. The tiny clean kitchen is broken and ransacked. Everything is in chaos. My eyes strain to see what has happened. My feet are cold on the gold shag carpet. The living room is dark except for the light filtering through the drapes. I wander around the room, lost and alone. I find my mommy naked on the floor. I approach her, no response. Crying, I shake her bloody body."Mommy, Mommy, please wake up."Mommy won't wake up. She's dead!"Mommy, wake up. Please wake up, Mommy, wake up. I will be a good girl. Just wake up, and I will take care of you. Mommy, please wake up. Mommy, please wake up, and I will never leave you. I will always take care of you if you wake up."The front door swings open and I freeze. A man grabs me. I scream for Mommy."I have been personally a witness to Denise's journey, and having known her and seen her journey. I know what powerful a soul she is.

The Millenial and GenZ generations understand social media. They have grown up in an age of hyperconnectivity, but many don''t do a great job at understanding or blending their social presence effectively as a tool to show who they are, their why, their value, and the impact they can create as job candidates or as business owners. I call this our Social Soul. It''s how we show our true authentic selves online with intentionality. It shows an individual''s love and passion for what they do, and the value they offer to their various networks of friends, current and potential colleagues, prospective partners, managers, direct reports, or investors. For entrepreneurs, the most effective way to use social selling isn''t obvious, even if they have come of age in a hyperconnected world. This book will educate and inspire readers to take action on the most powerful and useful social networks to date. You will learn through thoughtful examples applicable to future platforms that can be used to better connect in pursuit of entertainment, clients, networking, and business success in a way that translates across cultural borders. "Rob''s Social Soul reads like a good friend peering over your shoulder, gently guiding you as you try to precariously navigate your social media. These days, it isn''t enough to just ''be online'' - you have to establish a presence, and an authentic one at that, for it to be of any value personally or professionally. The Social Soul provides you the tools and tips that will allow you to shine in the virtual world." Phil Delvecchio, Founder, Hapday Group "Rob promotes the idea of ENGAGEMENT. Well, he''s spot on.

I started journaling consistently in 2019 but life got in the way, and I ended up doing what most of us do, sitting the journal on a shelf where it collected dust. Then the pandemic happened... and then we all witnessed the murders of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd. I was overwhelmed trying to live through two social justice issues at the same time. As the world fell apart, I picked up my pen and began to write. Journaling was a way to help me process my thoughts, put my fears and frustrations in writing, and express my hopes and dreams for a better world. This journal is your tool to manifesting your dreams and writing down what you want for yourself, your community, and the world.

      “If I build it, they will come.” The fantasy of every new entrepreneur. The reality is that great products and services are built on feedback and being in front of the right audience. Too many new businesses are building an idea into a product and then searching for the right audience. This is especially true in the bootstrap-your-way-to- bankruptcy model in the author, coach, and speaker world. Pitchslapped is a unique look at how to assess your audience, get feedback, and build your products to meet audience needs instead of building a product and finding your audience later.      A feedback loop and relationship building is the best way to build sustainable products and services. Forget the digital world, consumers are tired of clicking and not building relationships. They want to purchase high- ticket programs from real people, with real expertise, that get real results. If you are an entrepreneur who is struggling to sell your products and services, it is time to stop pitching and start building relationships that provide the listening necessary to build and deliver great products in a way that your audience understands. Stop relying on clicks and social proof and start relying on “Pocketbook Proof”.This book is designed to walk you through a process that creates connection with an audience that you can test and from whom you can get feedback. Most people have been indoctrinated into a process that asks them to build social proof and invest in coaching programs to attain skills without really understanding who their ideal audience is and how to effectively connect with them. Social proof is not the way to run a business. You are looking for pocketbook proof, which means that you need to intimately know and understand your ideal consumer. Who are they, where are they, and why do they purchase?This process is a shift from guessing about pain points, benefits, and who to connect with to following patterns of engagement, having real conversations, and getting feedback that leads to higher conversion and sales closing. By taking a fresh look at your consumer and marketing,  you will create more meaningful connections with the right clients and replicate those results into a sustainable business. 

Born on June 26, 1945, in Preston, Lancashire, I took an interest in motivation and personal development over thirty years ago. When striving for success, I observed how some people became successful while others made no progress. Over the last few years, I have experienced many changes in my lifestyle, most of which I would have preferred to avoid. Yet these very experiences have enabled me to wrestle with life and observe many things from outside the normal light, a glimpse of life from a new window, enabling me to observe other peoples lives and giving me a greater understanding of why, although most people dream, they dont achieve a life of fulfillment. I always have been fascinated by previous civilizations, nations, and races, with their different cultures, traditions, and beliefs. How they lived at a personal level. During my life, as I travelled through different countries and met the inhabitants, I noticed that many people drift through life on a day-to-day basis, living a way of life with no purpose other than to stay alive for as long as possible. This lack of ambition makes me feel that lives are being wasted, hence the incentive to do something about it; if this book achieves a change for the better for only one life, I feel I will have contributed something positive to society.
