Raleigh served in the United States Marine Corps for 6 years and loved his country dearly. After his time in the military, he transitioned his leadership skills into a successful sales career that spanned several industries and locations. His true professional gift was mentorship in sales, and teaching others how to use their talents to be successful in that field. He combined his mentorship experience with his passion to help his military brothers and sisters to create his latest venture, Sales Platoon.

To know Raleigh was to love Raleigh. He had a special ability to make others feel as though they were the most important person in the room, and to inspire others to see the best in themselves. He has mentored, encouraged, and sponsored innumerable people over the years. He will be remembered as a caring and loyal friend to many.

To those closest to him, Raleigh was his most authentic self when he allowed his beautiful heart to shine through, even in its most vulnerable moments. He was a beautiful, multifaceted soul and best expressed himself through his writing and music. Raleigh felt things more deeply than most and was loved beyond measure.

Raleigh is survived by his sister, Elizabeth Barnette and husband Kevin; his beloved niece, Hannah Sawyer; his uncle, Mitch Sandlin and husband Dave; his aunt, Judith Sandlin; the love of his life, Merritt McClayton; his three closest friends, Dana Jackson, Travis Keaton and Anthony Wolf; and countless family members, friends and business associates who will miss him terribly. Raleigh was predeceased by his mother, Sandra Wilkins, and his uncle, Bob Sandlin.

There is a need to understand these historical factors and the differences in communication and emotion processing between men and women. They also discuss the importance of continuous personal growth and open conversations about mental health.

We need to challenge assumptions, education, critical thinking, and the role of information and literacy in shaping problem-solving skills. Remember that hardships and challenges can build inner strength and character.

{13:30} Breaking Generational Cycles

Mariel Anderson Bio:

Mariel's guiding principle is "See the Light, Be the Light." She encourages others to embrace the goodness, love, and positive energy in our world while inspiring them to become a source of light themselves. With four fundamental rules governing her life—Respect yourself, respect each other, Respect your environment, and Be Kind—Mariel strives to leave a positive impact wherever she goes.

At just 27 years old, Mariel has experienced a lifetime of challenges. She has been an elite athlete, earned her B.A. in Counseling, survived an attempted abduction at the age of 7, and endured the trauma of rape at 15. She faced rejection from the church she grew up in and her own family. Furthermore, Mariel suffered through a gang rape at 18, witnessed the tragic suicides of seven friends, mourned the loss of eight friends to gang violence, and witnessed eight others succumb to drug overdoses. On top of all that, she left an abusive marriage and became a single mother.

These experiences ignited Mariel's passion for mental health advocacy. Through trial and error in her career choices, she eventually discovered a way to combine her passion, purpose, and heart for service. Seeing the alarming decline in mental health statistics within her country and the devastating loss of lives, Mariel decided to take action. Thus, the SHINE Foundation for Artistic Expression was born.

Travis, Carol, and Michale talk about defined personalities, movers, shakers, provers, and makers. Shakers are idea-people who have nonstop ideas, while shakers work with the prover, who sees the holes in their vision and works to fill them. The tenacity and determination of a Titan can help them overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.

Highlights:

{06:37} How Michael moved to Poland.

{09:51} Starting a company in Poland.

{15:40} Getting Max BAH after the military.

{24:37} What Makes Michael a Titan?

{35:51} Michael’s past 

{49:10} What people don’t know about Michael.

{13:09} Advice for the person struggling.

Michael Klepacz Bio:

Born and raised in the heart of Toledo, Ohio, Michael roots lie within a small Polish community, where my blue-collar upbringing and humble beginnings instilled in me the values of hard work and honest living. His parents, who tirelessly juggled multiple jobs, demonstrated that perseverance could provide a comfortable life. While their aspirations remained modest, he developed a vision for a greater future for his wife and our vivacious 3-year-old daughter.

Michael’s passion for learning and exploration was ignited when he joined the Air Force at 18, after completing Aviation Maintenance school. Though he didn’t get to see the world as he had hoped, his experience in an MLM taught him to embrace learning, fueling my curiosity for life. Though he was medically discharged from the Air Force due to injury that did not stop my ambitions in the Air Force before leaving. Michael had the privilege to be trained in Six Sigma by the Toyota Corporation. Project/process management at that moment became a life interest.

Post-Air Force, a gap year turned into an unexpected adventure, as he became a lifeguard supervisor at a renowned amusement park and later found myself teaching English in Poland. His journey overseas transformed his perspective on health and well-being, as he became increasingly fascinated by soil health, sustainability, and agriculture. His newfound passion for sustainable agriculture led him to Permaculture. This completely changed his life and the way he viewed the world. Being in line with nature was now his life mission.

Upon returning to the US, he delved into college textbooks and podcasts while working as a security guard. An acceptance into UCLA’s Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities redefined his life’s trajectory and invigorated his entrepreneurial spirit. This led to pursuing a business degree at a top Financial Times-ranked business school in Poland. While at university he saved up my tuition money and founded Natural Materials Unlimited, a company specializing in designing and manufacturing eco-friendly textile products for clients seeking custom solutions.

Lucy found a very special hobby, riding bikes, that connected her with Carol. An accident left her in the hospital, but it didn’t take long for her to get back to riding. 

Highlights:

{02:35} Going to Veterinary School

{05:55} What makes Lucy a Titan

{10:35} Dealing with Lyme Disease

{22:52} Seeing 55 specialists.

{52:51} Advice for people looking for help.

Lucy Blondel Bio:

Lucy didn't always dream of racing, she dreamed of walking. Of being able to put one foot in front of the other and move in any direction, at any speed. For a period of time, even that seemed impossible for her.

In 2012, only two short years after moving to Canada from Scotland, she was diagnosed with Lyme disease. The "great imitator" it's called. The course of my disease mimicked MS, lupus, brain cancer, and chronic fatigue. It left her in excruciating pain, often with paralysis encompassing the left side of her body. She lost the ability to speak normally and often felt like she was having a stroke. After seeing over 50 specialists, including a few in the UK, trialing over 30 different drugs, and being informed it was probably mental (and that she was probably a little crazy) Lucy investigated and eventually treated herself. (She is a veterinary surgeon).

As the months went by, she got stronger, but couldn't help but feel like something was missing. Where was the adventure she had dreamed about when she was sick? The excitement? Despite everything she had overcome, she wanted more. And then, 3.5 years ago, she got on a bike.

Within minutes I knew it was going to change my life (spoiler: it has). It was instant chemistry and not an ounce of fear. Within 9 months of getting her license, Lucy participated in her first track day.

Matt Currin Bio:

Matt’s career as a Marine required making split-second decisions and having access to the right knowledge at the right time. This could often result in either life or death for others. Matt saw the repercussions of this when his close friend died in a helicopter accident, which could have easily been averted if knowledge had been shared from another squadron of a simple aircraft change. The change of a simple bolt in the cockpit could have saved three Marines’s lives if information had been shared.

It inspired him to create Convene – a platform tailored for businesses and individuals to collaborate and connect.

In today’s interview with Tia Cristy, a former radio personality and blogger with 80,000 subscribers Tia has been nominated for numerous awards, but it was her personal journey of facing death that started her on the Titan journey. 

Highlights:

{04:49) What Makes Tia a Titan?

{09:49} Tips from Tia

{22:45} New projects for Tia

{33:45} How to know when it is time to transition into a new stage of life.

{01:06:45} advice for the person struggling right now.

Tia Cristy Bio:

Tia Cristy has humbly earned the title of Personality and Tips Expert in Lifestyle, Health, and Beauty through radio, television, and print. Growing up, Tia’s wakeup routine became a recurrent morning segment for her, Radio Personality, cousin. She never thought that would lead her down the path of radio, herself, but fate had a plan.

With her start in radio, Tia was initially hired to run a studio board. However, after four days and answering a simple question on-air from the morning show host, she was miraculously given her own night show in Atlantic City. That started many adventures over the years, across the country, working in different markets and genres. She was an on-air producer for the #1-rated morning show in Philadelphia. She was also the nighttime host for the top-rated station in Seattle.

With over 20 years of experience, Tia has worked with artists and celebrities throughout the years, conducting interviews and announcing headlining artists for sold-out arenas. Tia also has taught radio and production in Washington D.C. for CSB.

Tia is a content and ghostwriter who has been under the umbrella of writing her entire life. It started in Elementary school, writing for the class newspaper, to eventually growing up and writing for the County Newspaper. Since the start of her career, specializing in words, she has contributed to newsprint, local magazines, web, scripts, copy, and manuscripts. Tia has received a nod from Clint Eastwood on the screenplay Dark Matter: PTSD.

Tia created TipsfromTia.com in 2012 when suffering from a unique condition, Mold Toxicity Poisoning, after moving into a new house. The situation caused an array of horrific symptoms, including severe brain fog. Tia had always had a gift of knowing tips that could help others with things, like getting a stain out of this or how to naturally take care of that. So, when the brain fog started to affect her everyday lifestyle, Tia began to post the tips, hoping it would help preserve her memory. In the process, Tia resumed education by getting her Boards in Nutrition, granting her the title, Tips Expert.

Millions go undiagnosed with Mold Toxicity Poisoning because the symptoms can range from mild to severe. Plus, it can be extremely tricky to diagnose and difficult to find the source.

After a long line of treatments and rehabilitation, Tia returned to healthy as if it were all a bad dream.

However, there was a silver lining to the severe condition. By this time, TipsfromTia.com had started to grow in the U.S., U.K., and Australia. Today, Tips from Tia has over a million unique visitors who have received simple, easy tips that can help reduce everyday stress.

Tia and Tips from Tia have been featured on podcasts, radio, and television.

{15:14} What makes Janet a Titan

{28:05} The fifth door

{42:03} What people don’t know about Janet. 

{56:20} Past-life.  

Janet Hogan Bio:

By age 22, Janet had graduated with a BA in Communications, and become a punk rock model, Dolly cover girl, movie actress, soapie star, restaurant owner, radio DJ and Australia’s youngest ever copywriter to win a Lion at Cannes. She went on to become co-founder of Oddfellows ad agency, then moved to north Queensland to create a multi-million dollar waterfront property development. 

At 48, she had it all… on the outside. But something was seriously wrong. It took losing it all for her to wake up. What Janet didn’t have was the deep contentment that comes from knowing your true calling. In a breakthrough moment, she realized that what she thought was a selfless sacrifice in looking after her family and chain of businesses was in fact selfishness. Janet had been denying myself and the world my great gift as a teacher – her true calling.

A lifetime of studying human nature and my rollercoaster of successes and failures have become the basis for her breakthrough workshops. Janet spent 40 years figuring out my place on the planet and if she can empower others to do the same and save them a decade or two in the process, she has done her job. 

The 5th Door pathway is a 5-step process-driven personal transformation journey on steroids. Designed to fast-track the discovery of who you really are and your true calling so you can experience the joy of a life lived on purpose.

Anu Abraham Bio:

Anu has been observing, listening to, and feeling people on all levels since she was a child. This empathic ability heightened when she became a physical therapist and started tuning into peoples’ bodies. 

In listening to her own body, Anu was able to access emotions, memories, and trauma that were creating pain and anxiety. They weren’t just in her mind. They were buried in the subconscious cells of her body and creating patterns that kept repeating themselves. As she explored and learned to apply the healing techniques, Anu began to rewire, and the cycles started to break.  Her body and life are leveled, which is what she offers her clients today.

• Has been in practice since 2002 and has studied with a diverse group of renowned healers over these years, with whom she has a deep reverence, gratitude, and appreciation.

• Holds a Bachelor's and Doctorate Degree in Physical Therapy.

• Uses her knowledge and experience from physical therapy with alternative healing modalities as the foundation to bring you a holistic approach and safe container to restore.

Bryan is a coach, and he is inclined to refocus the conversation to be all about you. Bryan is not some naturally gifted listener (as his wife often reminds him).

When Bryan builds your listening skills with you, it will become absolutely clear what your prospects and customers need to be raving fans of what you do. They are telling you right now - you just have to know how to hear it.

Bryan is a family man, a self-growth enthusiast, and appreciates a great sour beer. Also – he get entirely too excited about Penn State."

{44:01} Exciting news

James Williams Bio:

In 2015 James was on the tail end of a 12-year career that wasn’t bringing out the best in him, and so he chose to make a change and go against the grain of what he was taught was possible. The foundation of this passionate pursuit is a deep need to serve. Growing up thinking differently from the rest of his family and not thriving at school, James learned to receive love by being useful to others. His mother had heart disease, he grew up in a turbulent family dynamic that ended with separated parents, and two close friends who took their own lives leading to a journey of finding his place in the world.

The conclusion- James believes it is selfish to put others first. Why?… because to serve those he loves and leads, James realized he must be at full capacity. This comes from self-care to create more of what James calls; intentional quality of output.

Today James is a Performance Breakthrough Coach and speaker. He is passionate about focusing on creating outer world impact through inner world mastery. His passion for mastering physical, mental, and emotional performance in pursuit of his own life goals is only matched by his dedication to supporting his clients’ belief that anything is possible and available for them.

James believes that the relationship we have with ourselves is the foundational key to our personal growth and the quality of the relationships we hold dear in our life. As well as teaching and coaching the female entrepreneurs in his wife's company I Heart My Life since 2015, James also works with a range of very successful male and female business owners and high achievers to support them in leveling up. James works with his clients through systematic processes to learn how to master what he calls the ‘business of you. This idea is to support his clients in recognizing that their level of performance from within will impact everything and everyone in their life.

Herbert Lang came from humble beginnings in Brinkley, Arkansas graduating from Centenary College of Louisiana in 1998. While there, he led the Trans-America Athletic Conference in scoring and won the National Association of Basketball Coaches Slam Dunk Contest. The Globetrotters invited him to their training camp in 1999, and he spent 18 years as a player and coach with the team.

He traveled to nearly 100 countries and interacted with various influential dignitaries. He also participated in numerous TV shows and contests, including three seasons of The Amazing Race and, Are you Smarter Than A 5th Grader? He wrote about his unique journey in a recently-published memoir, Projects, Popes, and Presidents.

Lang, a lifelong Razorback fan who still cheers on U of A sports teams, now lives in Ruskin, Florida with his wife Elena. Herb is also a TEDx SPEAKER. https://youtu.be/ZeivzoCpygM He speaks about concepts from his books (Projects, Popes, and Presidents) as an on-air correspondent and inspirational speaker. He also facilitates sports clinics for young people. Herb just finished filming “Sweetwater.” Herb plays the role of “Babe” Pressley former Harlem Globetrotter! https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3602956/

He’s currently working with a Hollywood production company to develop one of his many television show concepts and improve his skills as an Actor, Producer, and being s good human.

The father of three (Antonio, Nicholas, and Reya) said he was taught to treat people with kindness, and that principle still guides his life today. His mantra is summarized in the hashtag #kindnessisfree, which Herb often uses online and in correspondence.

“I am just a small-town Arkansas kid who has been blessed to have so many amazing life-changing opportunities,” he said. “I truly believe that it’s important to treat others even better than you expect to be treated by people. Every major accomplishment in my life has been the direct result of others speaking up for me, trusting, and believing I would not fail them in doing so.”

Lang finds beauty in life’s struggles. He believes that success is not determined by how much money a person makes but by how many lives they touch along the way.
