Tony Wall – Founder and President of Noēsis
<p>Tony Wall – Founder and President of Noesis</p> <p>Tony Wall is the founder of Noēsis (no - EE - sis), a worldwide education network, and 501(c)3, aimed at enabling humanity to replace the churn of conflict with the gift of clarity. After spending decades observing and researching human behavior and the history of humanity, Tony is an expert on the instinctual influences on modern-day behavior and how those behaviors cause many of the problems faced by our species today.</p> <p>Tony brings a compelling, hopeful, and passionate message to any discussion. If an audience expects to hear about doomsday scenarios, he will be glad to surprise them. Humanity lost control by way of a process. Only by another process will we regain control. Tony is about the Process.</p> <p>Tony graduated from the William Penn Charter School in Philadelphia. He then continued his education at Lake Forest College in Chicago. A Liberal Arts education ignited Tony’s interest in Existential Philosophy and demanded that Tony view the world through a starkly realistic lens.</p> <p>Tony actually began his career in finance and was compelled, at the age of 56, to found Noēsis - the only non-profit of its kind. He is on a mission to make a difference for humanity. &nbsp;</p> <p>https://noesisproject.com/ &nbsp;</p> <p>https://fans.truefanz.com/RichLaMonica &nbsp;</p> <p>https://www.themisfitnation.com</p> <p>https://youtu.be/D53JbAQ0__M</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/support</a>

SGT Nathaniel Helmuth Combat Engineer, Husband,...
<p>Kristle Helmuth is a veteran of the United States Army, mother of 3, and surviving spouse of SGT Nathaniel Helmuth. Going from dual military, to military spouse, to the caregiver of a wounded warrior, to a widow, Kristle has run the gauntlet of military experience making her life the perfect platform to advocate for and support others who might be facing the same challenges. Kristle often jokes that her life could literally be a movie, “If something was going to happen, it happened to us.” &nbsp;</p> <p>The last four years have been a journey of its own, as Kristle navigated finding her new normal, raising kids, going to school, and developing her career, all without her best friend, the person she built a life with. Without her amazing support system and her husband’s words, “Charlie Mike,” in her head, things could have been much worse. &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;Since losing her husband, Kristle has since completed a Bachelors in Communications, completed her MBA, and is now working with United Way of Northeast Florida’s Mission United Program, a community-based program that connects military, Veterans, and their families with the services that they need – from securing a roof over their heads, finding a post-military career, to getting their benefits and health care. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Kristle’s number one goal is to live her life and raise her children in a way that makes him proud, and that carries on his legacy of service, and sacrifice. &nbsp;</p> <p>https://www.themisfitnation.com&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;https://fans.truefanz.com/RichLaMonica</p> <p>https://youtu.be/e3yVjDjamHU</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/support</a>

<p>There are 1.86 billion websites and most people who start one intend to make money from it. But with the internet populated that greatly, it’s hard to know how to. For businesses with a quality product or service, the major thing standing in their way of making more sales is exposure to the right audience and attract their attention. <br> </p> <p>With this realization and the desire to help entrepreneurs thrive, Nathan decided to combine his innate strengths (attracting attention in unique ways and engaging people) with his learned skills from business in the trenches and help hard-working entrepreneurs get noticed and attract customers through guerrilla marketing.<br> <br> Nathan is one of the youngest goal achievers you’ll ever meet. At 25, he has already become a best-selling author, been featured on many news outlets, and is now teaching his audience of entrepreneurs how to systematically achieve their business goals by easily monetizing a brand new or existing website, finding the intersection of passion and products, and discovering and attracting their ideal client.</p> <p>https://lemonlaunch.com/</p> <p><a href="https://fans.truefanz.com/RichLaMonica">https://fans.truefanz.com/RichLaMonica</a></p> <p>https://youtu.be/0L-_HBUwdec</p> <p><br></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/support</a>

Remembering Brothers from 1st Battalion 8th Mar...
<p>Part 2 of our Memorial Day remembrance series brings us the story of the 2nd battle of Fallujah in November 2004. This battle was so big it had two operational names. Operation Phantom Fury and Operation Al-Fajr (the Dawn). The first battle was started in April of 2004 after the deaths of Blackwater security members. This operation was stopped to allow Iraq security forces to control the city. In the six months that followed multiple insurgent groups entered the city and made a stronghold. Civilians (Non-combatants) were told to evacuate as coalition forces numbering over 11,000 assembled around the city. This is where our next guest, a young Marine at the time was assembled. He was with his brothers in 1st Battalion 8th Marines waiting to go in on another of what they thought was a routine mission. That was until they realized the scope of it. These Marines went into the city fighting block to block in some of the most brutal urban fighting of the war in Iraq up till that time. For the next near month plus they fought not for themselves, but for their brothers on their sides. It was during this month that Christian Dominguez lost four Brothers he would never forget. The First one was LCPL Nate Anderson from Ohio on 12 November. The Second was LCPL William Miller from Texas on 14 November. The third and fourth happened during a house clearing operation on 19 November. They are LCPL Dimitrios Gavriel from New York and LCPL Demarkus Brown from Virginia.</p> <p>Christian Dominguez has continued to serve for the past 19 years. &nbsp;He began his career in the Marine Corps as an infantryman where he served as a point man for the Battle for Fallujah in 2004. &nbsp;He later transitioned into the National Guard as an intelligence Warrant Officer. &nbsp;Christian has completed 3 combat tours and multiple humanitarian assistance missions.</p> <p><a href="https://www.themisfitnation.com/">https://www.themisfitnation.com</a></p> <p><a href="https://fans.truefanz.com/RichLaMonica">https://fans.truefanz.com/RichLaMonica</a></p> <p>https://youtu.be/irZr8FjLP2Y</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/support</a>
