Jenny Harkleroad was born in Laguna Beach California. She was raised in Carlsbad, Encinitas and Escondido California. She attended and graduated from Orange Glen High School where she loved playing and being the drum major of the high school band. She visits the Polynesian Cultural Center and discovers that BYU has a campus on the island of Oahu where she ended up attending and graduating. She gets her real estate license and becomes one of the top producers in the nation. More about Jenny: “Jenny Harkleroad is an author, speaker and mind change teacher. She’s a mother of 4 which is her greatest claim to fame! Jenny is a big-hearted entrepreneur and business leader. Jenny built a business in San Diego, where she grew up and lives, over 13-years producing double digits in the millions. With the power of the mind, Jenny overcame her past of chronic pain, addictions, bad relationships, and unhappiness. She never knew how sweet life could be until she changed her mind and that changed everything. Jenny has a dramatic story to share, breaking her back on a mountain cliff. That event changed everything and gave her a ferocious appetite to transform lives and help others create what’s missing in their lives.
Jenny and her Balanced You team help others to transform their success, health and wellness, relationships, and business success so that they can bask in the love of life every day and accomplish their goals of health, wealth, and happiness.
Hidden behind Jenny’s success, she struggled with many challenges in the past that really seemed to plague her like chronic pain, troubled relationships, and unhappiness. Jenny was searching for answers and heard that there was an easy method to make changes in her life by tapping into the power of her subconscious mind. She was hesitant yet hopeful as this mind change process sounded too good to be true. She tried it and it worked! It turned out to be an answer to prayers and worked even better than she thought it would. Almost like a magic wand! Her struggles were transformed almost overnight. Jenny quickly saw the value of her discovery and wanted to share it with others. Jenny sold her successful business and her home to support her new venture. That was the best decision she ever made for her own happiness and the well-being of all who transform using the Summit Transformation® process Jenny created.”

Remarkable Serial Entrepreneur/Business Expert Writes A Best Selling Book And Dedicates His LIfe To Helping Others Succeed At A Very High Level! Aug 01, 2024

Show notes

Roland Frasier was born and raised in the small town of Covington, Virginia where the population was 5,000 at the time. It was a paper mill town and very rural. His grandad was a baptist minister. His dad worked for the federal government early in his life. He loved growing up with his cousins camping and spending a lot of time outdoors. The most influential people to him growing up were his mother, his grandfather and his father. His mother was 100% supportive and overprotective. His grandfather had a shop, and was a tinkerer that fixed things. It sparked his curiosity and taught him how things worked. His father would take him to lunches and Roland worked as a runner for his father’s tax law firm. He became fascinated with all of the various ways his father’s clients made money. His interest in business and how it worked was peaked during that time. One of his most formative memories growing up was working as an assistant tennis pro. His responsibilities were to sweep the tennis courts and pick up tennis balls from practice. He rented a blower to do the sweeping job faster and his employer had a problem with it. He worked too fast and they wanted him there for the required time even though he had figured out a way to get the task done in much less time. Later he was working as a runner for his father’s law firm and he discovered that how they operate is really inefficient. He relates to his employer that if they just give him all of the places he is supposed to deliver ahead of time he can map out his route and get his job done much faster and more efficiently. When he was clerking in law school he would be tasked with doing legal research. He would pay for a service that enabled him to get it done much faster than normal turn around times. The law firm was frustrated with him over that too. That is when he realized that he could figure out ways to work much more efficiently than most people. It was very clear to him that he couldn’t work for somebody. He attended University of Richmond because it was a great liberal arts school and graduated with an accounting degree. He then attended law school at California Western in San Diego. He started his law firm in San Diego and owned it for a number of years.
