Former Addict Turned Author Dedicates Her Life To Helping Others Discover Their Voice In A Subject That Has Needed Voice For Far Too Long! Oct 01, 2024

Show notes

Megan Balizer was born in Amarillo, Texas and raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Farm and mountain were her influences growing up, She enjoyed spending a lot of her childhood outside and adventuring over most of the United States before kindergarten. She ended up attending and graduating from University of Texas at Austin. She studied agriculture, primarily planning to continue working on her family’s farm in Texas. She ended up in San Diego and she wrote a book about how others can improve their lives by not adhering to all of the social norms as it relates to relationships. More about Megan: ” M.K Rave is my pen name. My real name is Megan Kathleen Balizer and I identify as a badass female whose preferred pronouns are her/she. I’m also an addict and a follower of Christ. I get that it is an anomaly for most, because of the way I look or how I speak, but I’m here to be the perfect example that I am loved no matter what. I definitely don’t mind getting my hands dirty to stand up for my beliefs or to advocate for others when they call on me. I’m loud and eccentric and, for me, it’s not an impressive resume that matters, but hyping up anyone who dropped out of college like I did to chase your dreams has a special place in my heart.
I’m 33 years old and I have used my passions for Dance, Modeling, Theatre, and Writing to lead the way outside of my hometown of Santa Fe, New Mexico. I found myself cultured and educated by a school money can’t buy. The world around me has been my greatest teacher and it would be in my travels that I discover my desire to be of service. I am now a mother of two beautiful children and they have been my greatest teachers to date. After many years of struggling with active addiction, I would find refuge in a church that would be my pipeline to help others and find my own spiritual walk into fully accepting that I was NOT God. By letting my nomadic lifestyle lead the way, I came across many relationships that I forged love out of and learned about codependency with romance. My entire love career would speak volumes of how much heartache and beauty are credited for shaping my life.
Being a sex and love addict took me overseas, next door, and into my own home when I finally decided enough was enough. Healing the wounds that both, myself and others, created was the endgame for me and now that I have children of my own, I want them to have the knowledge I didn’t, and address the qualms around love and sex. It is a balancing act that I am constantly performing to keep my mental and spiritual health in alignment with the hard truth about my past.
My entire journey will play the biggest role in how I raise good humans who aren’t afraid to be themselves. I want their self-confidence to exceed in ways that I didn’t know were possible and be a beam of light for anyone who has ever been told they weren’t good enough. I now can say my children have a mother with a voice to make a change and help them BE the change.” Thank you for being our guest on The Mike Litton Experience Megan! You are the best!

Young Writing Protege Becomes A Teacher And Rediscovers Her Passion For Writing The Adventures Of Jelly Bean! Oct 01, 2024

Show notes

Amy Pollack was born and raised near Morristown New Jersey in Summit New Jersey. She enjoyed playing outside as a kid until she had to come in for dinner. She enjoyed writing creative stories about Jelly Bean and telling them in front of her class as a fourth grader. She was encouraged by her teacher and later her mother-in-law. She was a teacher for forty years. The stories of Jelly Bean came back to the forefront when the Covid shutdown took place. It forced her to pull her notes and stories out and work on them again. She eventually found a publisher that was interested and her first book was published. She is currently working on her third book that will be released in the next few months. More about Amy: “Amy Meislin Pollack was a teacher for over four decades, raised three children, and loves to play with her seven grandchildren. From her own childhood to the classroom and as a parent and grandparent, she is perfectly positioned to pen her coming-of-age book series.

The Adventures of Jelly Bean, followed by The Further Adventures of Jelly Bean, first came into being when the author’s fourth-grade teacher used to ask her to get up in front of the class and tell the stories about this character she would make up as she went along. Several years later she started writing these stories down, and would work on them periodically in any free time she had during her teaching career and raising her three children. Now retired from a 40-year career in teaching – spanning a wide range of subjects and grade levels – she has embarked on a lively writing career. The silver lining of the Covid pandemic for Pollack was that she was more or less forced, after approximately 60 years, to finish her Jelly Bean books. Her books are about a young girl whose life is always changing and how she adapts to these changes. She tries to work out relationships with her friends, her parents, her older brothers, her uncle. Her parents do not want her best friend, who is of mixed race, to visit. Another friend is anorexic. One brother drops out of school. A grandparent dies.”

Thank you for being our guest on The Mike Litton Experience Amy! You are amazing! For more information about the Jelly Bean stories visit: https://www.adventuresofjellybean.com/

**Young Entrepreneur Discovers Real Estate Leverage, Becomes A Realtor And Dedicates His Life To Helping Others Improve Their Lives!** Sep 30, 2024
Show notes
AJ Hazzi was born in Vancouver, British Columbia and he was raised in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. He thoroughly enjoyed growing up playing outside in the woods and nature. He moved to New Zealand and learned how to leverage real estate by subletting the rental house he was living in. He was deported for overstaying his visa and decided to apply what he learned about leveraging real estate back home in Canada. He decided to obtain his real estate license and he was off and running building a career. He met his wife and started developing real estate. He developed a super team concept that he has expanded on to create a “teamorage”. He thoroughly enjoys building his multiple companies in the real estate industry. He gets a big kick out of leading and pouring into his associates that work with his companies. His most meaningful opportunity is being a husband and a father. More about AJ: “After becoming a Realtor® in 2002, AJ Hazzi noticed a gap in the market and in 2008 he founded Vantage West Realty, a boutique firm dedicated to serving the specific needs of real estate investors. Since then, his brokerage has grown to 28 agents and support staff. From finding and pre-analyzing investment properties to negotiating the purchase and property management after the sale, AJ’s relationship with his clients is more like that of a consultant than a salesperson. Few people have as much in-depth knowledge about investment properties in the Okanagan Region as AJ. He is head of the Real Estate Investment Network (REIN) Kelowna chapter and a certified Real Estate Investment Adviser. As an author, speaker and real estate coach, he practises what he preaches. His extensive real estate portfolio includes single and multi-family homes, development property, resort units and commercial buildings. In addition to being a Realtor®, AJ is also a licensed broker, property manager and new home builder, But for him, real estate isn’t a job; it’s a passion. He has witnessed and studied two real estate cycles in the Okanagan Region, and there is nothing more rewarding to him than using the knowledge he’s gained during that time to educate would-be investors on the right strategy to employ during boom and bust years. He is a great believer that the Kelowna market is rich with opportunity, and over the years he’s honed his skills at identifying properties with excellent ‘house flipping’ potential as well as those with high positive cash flow. AJ especially loves to work with clients to advise them on how they can secure a comfortable retirement and achieve their financial dreams through strategic investing. In 2015 AJ was honoured to receive the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. He enjoys giving back to the community through his support of the Gospel Mission, Sell a House to Save a Child, and is a proud member of 100 Men Who Give A Damn. In his downtime, AJ takes advantage of the Okanagan’s four-season playground by playing golf, baseball, boating and wake surfing in the spring and summer to wine touring in the fall and playing hockey or skiing and snowboarding in the winter. As a former competitive boxer, AJ also enjoys training and volunteering at the Kelowna boxing club. Meeting new people and a love of travel has led AJ all over the globe, but he’s always content to return to Kelowna, the place he’s called home for the last 30 years.” Thank you for being our guest on The Mike Litton Experience AJ! You are remarkable! For more information about the amazing companies that AJ is building visit: https://www.vantagewestrealty.com/

Former Army Green Beret Writes A Transformative Book On Leadership And Improving Your Life! Sep 17, 2024

Show notes

Scott Mann was born in Clifton Forge, Virginia. His dad was a U.S. Forester and Wildland Firefighter, so they moved a lot in his early years. He calls himself a “child of the Appalachians”. He loved being outdoors and playing in the woods for hours at a time. When he was 14, he met an active duty green beret and had a conversation with him that changed his life forever. He decided that he was going to be a green beret. He attended high school where he spent most of his youth, a small logging and farming town known as Mount Ida. He was an introvert, he was committed to training and getting into special forces type of shape. His nickname was “Rambo”, he says, because he was just the opposite. He attended Arkansas State, enrolled in ROTC and then joined the Army. His eye was always on being a part of Green Beret selection. There were a number of people that encouraged him. One of the best was a superior officer that made him his assistant which put him in the Green Beret community, exposed him to the standard of Special Forces and taught him what was needed to succeed in the community. Scott was tasked with working in Central and South America helping our ally nations with the challenges of the day that they encountered. When 9/11 happened he was driving outside of Fort Bragg with another member of his unit and once they heard about it they immediately turned their vehicle around, headed to base, knowing that their service and their life had been changed forever. He was deployed to Afghanistan in 2003 where he and his team worked with the local Afghan population to make their lives better. They worked hard with their Afghan partners to win the hearts and minds of the locals. He worked very closely with Afghan citizens that helped them with translation, local norms and customs. Some of those citizens became Afghan special forces trained by the U.S. military. When the U.S. exited from Afghanistan in 2021, Scott and several of his former green berets worked tirelessly to help facilitate the evacuation of the personnel that had faithfully helped them over two decades in the war. That effort of Task Force Pineapple became the source for Scott’s book “Operation Pineapple Express” and the subsequent play “Last Out”. Scott has written a new book that is titled “Nobody is Coming to Save You: A Green Beret’s Guide to Getting Big Sh*t Done.” It is an amazing book that everyone should read, especially if you are in leadership! We highly recommend “Operation Pineapple Express” as well! Thank you Scott for being our guest on The Mike Litton Experience! To pre-order Scott’s amazing book visit: https://scottmann.com/
