This episode I speak with Jonathan Pritchard, International speaker/trainer focusing on the power of applied psychology in sales, negotiation, and beyond. 20+ years as a professional mind reader.Jonathan's words;I've entertained the troops stationed overseas, performed on Vegas main stages, appeared on national television, and checked off every box for success an entertainer could think of, but I still felt like something was missing.I realized I enjoyed talking with people after the show about how I'd found a way to make a living doing what I love, and helping them dream bigger in their own lives. These led to my first coaching clients, and ignited my passion to share what I know.That's when I decided to open the curtains and explain how the psychology I use on stage to get people think I can read minds is exactly the same psychology that drives effective communication, influence, negotiation, and sales. This led to the founding of my experiential design company "Hellstrom Group," writing the book "Think Like A Mind Reader" to help with the mental side, and establishing a martial art community to help with the physical.Find Jonathan at:Websitehttps://www.jonathanpritchard.meWebsite #2https://www.jonathanpritchard.me/socialLinkedIn URLhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanpritchard/Twitter URLhttp://www.twitter.com/realjpritchardYouTube URLhttps://www.youtube.com/user/thejonathanpritchardInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/realjpritchard

This episode I speak with Kevin Hofmann, The Author of Growing Up Black In White. He shares his personal story of being Bi-Racial, adapted at the age of 3 months into an all white family and the dynamics surrounded around the family and within the family being different. Kevin shares is WHY for writing the book and what he does to help others in understanding how to bridge the gap of racial divide. Growing Up Black in White is author Kevin Hofmann's gift to the American public seeking answers to so many questions about what it is to be raised in a racially diverse household. Born to a white mother and black father in Detroit in 1967, only weeks before the terrible race riots that brought a major city to its knees, the author was taken to a foster home and then adopted by a white minister and his wife, already the parents of three biological children. In this fascinating memoir, Hofmann reveals the difficulties and joys of being part of this family, particularly during a time and in a location where acceptance was tentative and emotions regarding race ran high and hot. Hofmann shares with readers the pressures and joys of being part of a family that navigated through tumultuous waters, and came out the victors in an old and oft-fought battle. This is a book that offers insight, humor, and plenty of hope. http://www.growingupblackinwhite.com/authenticshanta@gmail.com
