I'll be there

Hi all, I'm super excited about the idea behind this group because I'm sure many of us are in a similar boat when it comes to the daily grind promoting our communities outside of Skool, and maybe inside. Here are my particulars: 1. Personally I am a dad to my 12-year old son and also a passionate educator. Not a formally trained educator, but someone who has acquired extensive self-education in the areas of health and financial literacy. I think that despite there being so much great info out there on the topics, many people struggle tremendously in both areas, especially here in the U.S. 2. Professionally, I have a sales background but I honestly have never attached my identity to my profession. Too many people in America will tell you early on in a conversation what they do for a living as if that's their identity and even though there are a handful of very noble professions that I would be proud of myself, at the end of the day, my identity is tied to how I can best utilize my God given gifts to make the greatest difference for the most amount of people. Occasionally, that happens to be one's profession, but in majority of people's case it is no. I also do strongly believe that most of us are not made to trade their most valuable time of the day for a paycheck and way too many settle for what's the easy and comfortable thing. 3. Outside of work, I love spending time playing soccer with my son, basketball with friends, watching movies, reading a lot, working out, and traveling although due to STILL having a full-time job, I am unable to do much of that. My dream is to rent an RV and start traveling around the U.S. with my son and do camping, hiking, and riding motorcycles (if he gets into it). I would also love to learn how to sail and hope that my son will one day change his mind about it because currently he says there's no way he'll do that. 4. I don't know if it's necessarily "surprising" but definitely unique. I was born in Bulgaria and got to experience life under a communist regime until age 10 where people had very few freedoms, then experienced the next 5 years of people trying to figure out what in the world to do with these newfound "freedoms" after the collapse and are still having a hard time 35+ years later. Then at 15 my whole family moved to Japan where I got fully immersed in the culture for 4 1/2 years including going to a regular Japanese High School and then at age 19 came on my own to California to get my Finance degree. Moved to beautiful north Idaho a few years after graduating, and now for the last 5 years, I've lived in Kansas. My ultimate goal is to replace my full time income from my J-O-B with my online business so then I could have time freedom to spend the next 6 years as I please with my son before he becomes a legally defined "adult" and decides he's tired of living with me 😄

@Shannon Boyer thanks, Shannon! Yes, I'd say so, I definitely consider it a blessing
