Beth Leeds has been an activist all her life. She grew up in Laguna Beach, California, a very friendly town where she became an activist as a founding member of the Historical Society, the Free Clinic and several effective environmental groups.
In 1949 Beth and her mother traveled to Germany on the Queen Elizabeth Ocean Liner as part of the first military dependents in the Army of Occupation. Beth was 8 years old.
In Germany, Beth lived in a small town of Oberursel near Frankfurt. Her father was a Captain at R & R Camp King which was also an Army Intelligence Camp. She loves to tell about her amazing experiences as an Army Brat in post-WW2 Germany, including her meeting with General Dwight Eisenhower.
Beth went on to protect the ocean and wrote the National Ocean Protection Act in her kitchen. After traveling to Washington DC three times as a volunteer lobbyist she presented her bl to Congress and Congress passed it!
Beth is also an activist for world peace. She has served as the World Parliament Peace Envoy to the United Nations since 1987. One of her current peace projects is to host and film a first Peace Plan Forum and take that video to schools, meeting halls, churches and everywhere. With 3x5 cards, participants will write their 3-point Peace Plan that the Action Forum Workshop drafted. She will present these little cards to the United Nations focusing on Peace and Disarmament. Her suggested donation for the Action Workshop Forum is $2 (because if you hold two fingers up it is the peace sign!).
Beth is also the author of many books, including “Beth Leeds Activist Guide,” “Ms. Leeds Goes to Washington – Lobbying Mendocino Style,” “The Happening – The 1970 Laguna Beach Christmas Festival,” and others. Her books are available on Amazon.com.

LEAD SINGER AND SONGWRITER
FOR ALTERNATIVE METAL/HARD ROCK BAND
N O N P O I N T
The unconquerable spirit of NONPOINT charges up the energy in any environment, from the studio to the stage. The stamina, resilience, diversity, massive power and undeniable authenticity of the enduring Active Rock crew makes them kindred spirits to their audience: fans who call upon the band’s tried-and-true anthems to help conquer adversity in their own lives.
Nonpoint emerged as part of the cultural wave of aggressive-streetwise-metal-mixed-with-melodic-force and unapologetic passion that burst from underground clubs onto Ozzfest and MTV in the “aughts.” But even as radio formats shifted and the window dressing aesthetics changed, the sheer intensity balanced with huge catchiness of Nonpoint bangers like “Bullet with a Name,” “Breaking Skin,” “The Truth” and “That Day” kept them relevant and revered.
“Our fans appreciate the variety in what we do and the difference in how we do it,” notes frontman Elias Soriano. “We write songs that have meat on the bones and stick to your ribs.”
Nonpoint has brought their message to the masses on tour with Disturbed, Papa Roach, Stone Sour, 10 Years, and Megadeth, while selling close to 1 million albums in North America. Their juxtaposition of rhythm and melody gets heads bobbing, hands in the air, and crowds singing.
The elite squad of Nonpoint’s contemporaries and peers with both staying power and continued creative progression includes chart-topping, trend-proof survivors like Disturbed, Slipknot, Deftones, and Korn. The Fort Lauderdale-based quintet is undeniably counted among those ranks, to diehard true believers who know what’s up. Case in point: less than 24 months ago, Nonpoint’s “Breaking Skin” was the most-played song on SiriusXM Octane for the entire year.
The Poison Red, the veteran rock band’s driving and ambitious ninth album, offers further testament to what makes Nonpoint such a tough act for other bands to follow on the radio dial, onstage at major festivals like Rock On The Range or Australia’s Soundwave, and in any club blessed with one of the band’s sweaty, crowd moving, exhaustion-proof performances. From their earliest ultra DIY releases, through the trio of major label albums, to their more recent work for the world’s most important indies, the energy and determination remains consistent.
“Generation Idiot” rails against internet tough guys and text-message fairweather friends, emphasizing the power of deeper means of communication and connection, which includes music. It’s one of Nonpoint’s heaviest songs ever. “Divided Conquer Them” imagines what could be achieved with a greater cultural influence on art and quality of life than in the mind-numbing routines of accumulating possessions. “Standing in the Flesh” is a penultimate Nonpoint song, reveling in the transformative, shared experience of band and audience. “El Diablo” rails against the deceivers who promise the world only to deliver pain in business and in life. “My Last Dying Breath” is a fitting closer for The Poison Red, a statement of purpose that all of the sacrifices it’s taken for Nonpoint to make it this far will not be for naught; they are lifers in this music thing.
“I’m trying to empower people and that’s it,” Soriano says with matter-of-fact clarity. “It’s because I’m trying to empower myself. I’m trying to be a better person. I don’t’ want to be a ‘good’ man, I want to be the best man, the best guy that I can be. I want to always get better.”
It’s hard to imagine another band with the courage to tackle Jay-Z’s “99 Problems,” Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean,” and Pantera’s “Five Minutes Alone” in the first place, let alone pull all of them off like Nonpoint. Those reference points loudly attest to the pure skill and impressive range of Soriano (vocals); the groove-oriented rhythmic pulse of his fellow Floridian cofounder Robb Rivera (drums); the decisive and driving heaviness of longtime band mates Rasheed Thomas (guitar) and Adam Woloszyn (bass); the shredding technicality of B.C. Kochmit (guitar); and how they merge together to create the unique and recognizable Nonpoint sound.
Nonpoint operates with the bottom-heavy groove of Sabbath, the audacious danger of The Crue and GN’R, the theatrical bent of Maiden, the in-your-face brutality of Pantera and the urgent explosiveness of Rage Against The Machine. This is music for the millions of people who connect just as passionately with Metallica’s Black Album as the record of the same name by Jay-Z, the same fans that grew up to start increasingly rock radio leaning bands like Bring Me The Horizon.
“Not everybody wants to go see a shrink and not everybody wants to sit around and wallow,” Soriano observes. “Our music can be therapy. It is what helps someone get through something. I attest all of our success to keeping three things important: the music, the show, and the fans.
Nonpoint released two new songs recently … "Chaos and Earthquakes" and "Dodge Your Destiny."
These songs will appear on the band's new album, titled X and pronounced "Ten," out August 24 via Spinefarm Records. The album is the tenth studio release of the band's career.
"Ten - I can already tell is going to become a flagship record for us," said singer Elias Soriano. "Watching people's reactions when we play them the new music tells me that we have created something that is going to move crowds and may even redefine us. It's the year of the X."
Nonpoint recently wrapped their co-headine Kings & Queens Tour with Butcher Babies. The band is currently sorting its next set of tour plans and will spend much of the next year and beyond on the road in support of its last effort.
NONPOINT is ... Elias Soriano (Vocals), Robb Rivera (Drums), Rasheed Thomas (Guitar /Vocals), Adam Woloszyn (Bass), BC Kochmit (Lead Guitar / Vocals)

StrongBoard balance was founded by Mike Curry, and ACE certified personal trainer, and his wife, Adella Curry who runs a marketing consultancy. It was created and designed by Mike, while Adella heads the company’s sales and marketing departments.
StrongBoard balance is a one piece apparatus with the springs connected between a base and platform. Unlike traditional balance trainers, there is no tube or roller, which prevents the board from sliding out from underneath or coming apart. Due to this, StrongBoard balance is safer to balance on than other balance boards. StrongBoard Balance’s effectiveness lies in patented multi spring technology which prevents stabilization from occurring when body weight is applied. Through employing various balance techniques, StrongBoard Balance works to strengthen the core, strengthen stabilizing muscles and build neuropathic communication. By not allowing stabilization, the user’s muscles never stops working.With a design consisting of a solid base and a flat top, StrongBoard Balance is an effective tool for exercises including pushups, step ups, squats, and many others.

With 20 years clinical experience, Dr. Nessler challenges himself to be a thought leader in sports medicine, injury prevention and movement dysfunction. With 18 years’ experience in management of outpatient physical therapy and athletic training programs, he constantly challenges conventional wisdom to think outside the box in developing applications utilizing evidence based practice integrated with the latest technology in order to address an epidemic problem of non-contact injuries in youth athletics.
Through years of clinical research and practical clinical applications, Dr. Nessler has developed a comprehensive methodology on how to assess the lower kinetic chain in athletes that not only reduces injury rates but also improves athletic performance. In 2014, he blended this knowledge with the Xbox One to develop a fully automated movement assessment that could be used in pre-participation athletic physicals and military settings.
Today, Dr. Nessler has leveraged wearable sensor technology (DorsaVi) to develop a comprehensive athletic biomechanical analysis (ViPerform AMI) that can be used to assess risk for non-contact LKC injuries and performance opportunities. With over 1000 data points of movement related data, teams, coaches and athletes can easily assess where opportunities exist for performance enhancement and injury risk reduction.
Along with the ViPerform AMI and ACL Play It Safe, Dr. Nessler looks to continue this development of ways to apply the latest technology and biomechanical sciences to allow for scalable solutions to have profound impact on the non-contact injury epidemic impacting our kids today.
National Director of Sports Innovation
As the nation's leading and largest outpatient rehabilitation provider, Physiotherapy Associates/Select Medical also provides one of the largest, most comprehensive and innovative sports medicine programs in the US. With over 20 years clinical experience in sports medicine and as a recognized leader in movement assessment, Trent joins the team as the National Director of Sports Medicine Innovation.
ARTHUR DIENNET
Arthur Diennet was born in Paris, France and grew up in The Bahamas, where he began making films with his dad in his spare time as a teenager.
He finished his first feature film (‘If God Wants’) at 18, filming it after school and on weekends for 3 years.
He was then given the opportunity to make a 2nd Feature Film in Hollywood, based on the success of his first.
The process of making the film (‘American Bistro’) proved to be quite the disaster and, like most disasters, doubled as a journey of self-discovery and growth.
Throughout the many years, the trials of making it healed his relationship with his friends and family, his handicapped sister and, ultimately, himself.
After 8 years, 4 reshoots and 2 legal battles he is finally on the cusp of finishing it.

STEVE JORDAN
About Steve
Hi! My name is Steve Jordan and I’m grateful you’re taking the first step towards a healthy and fit lifestyle.
I’ve always loved to exercise and feel good. I was the kid who couldn’t sit still in class and would much rather be playing a sport or playing with friends.
I played every sport and I was always at least a year younger of all my friends and teammates. I excelled in lacrosse and football in high school capturing the title of captain for both sports with All State honors in lacrosse. However, I was never the biggest, nor the fastest or the most athletic. But I was always extremely determined and persistent to be just as good or better than my older friends.
Growing up was not easy for me. My parent were strong believers in “tough love” and they expected a lot from me and were hard to please, so there was always tension at home. I got picked on, bullied and even beaten up by older classmates in high school. Excelling in sports was a way to gain respect and acceptance among my peers.
I had lacrosse scholarships to division III schools, but really had my heart set on playing at the University of Maryland a division I powerhouse that was always a dream. So, I enrolled and sent a highlight tape to the coach and was turned down for a scholarship, but was offered a “good look” if I walked on. I eventually got accepted for my academics and decided to just go for it. Why not? I always worked my tail off to gain the respect and admiration of my classmates, so why couldn’t I do it here too.
My college dreams of playing lacrosse didn’t turn out exactly the way I dreamed of. These dreams were derailed after an accident falling off a two story balcony landing on my head resulting in brain surgery to save my life and prevent permanent brain damage. This TBI (traumatic brain injury) shattered my identity. I didn’t know who I was or how I would recover.
Would anyone want to hang out with me if I couldn’t speak in full sentences without stuttering?
Was I going to be made fun of because I was paralyzed on the left side of my face?
Were people going to feel sorry for me and make feel bad about myself?
Could I study and finish school if I couldn’t even remember a phone number or someones name?
What was the rest of my life going to be like???
These and so many more questions polluted my mind constantly.
I mustered up as much positive energy as I could during these transformative years into a full recovery to live a life of health and fitness.
I had an obsessive belief that I would recover
During my three year recovery both physically and cognitively, I realized that being fit was not just about looking good, or performing better in sports, but it was a way to rebuild myself from the inside out, including my self esteem, my character and my passion to just feel great regardless of what I looked like. But when I started seeking information, mentors and inspiration on how to create a better life for myself, that’s when everything started to change for the better.
My first career job was a personal trainer at the White House under the Clinton administration for one year, I built a small private training business while finishing my Kinesiology degree at the University of Maryland.
Even with this initial career success, my career journey was not easy. Although I physically and mentally I showed no signs of this terrible accident, I still had the the emotional scars of the fear of being judged, being different and the fear of failure.
Since then it’s been an uphill endeavor for me to create, build and grow both personally and professionally to keep myself inspired and relevant.
But I’ve learned to practice gratitude along this journey and harness that same positive energy I did when I was going through my recovery from the TBI to create and manifest an awesome career that is highlighted throughout this website and beyond.
I’ve been a educator teaching cutting edge exercise science for the top companies in the fitness and sports performance arenas. I’ve trained all kinds of people of all demographics including some of the most influential or successful people in the world who could hire anyone, at any price to learn how to be healthy and fit. I’ve spoken in front of fortune 500 companies and have had guest speaking opportunities at world class retreats. And I’ve traveled to the most luxurious and remote destinations around the world with client’s in ways that are fit for a king. And much more.
Educating and inspiring people is my purpose
But no matter where I’ve been, what I’ve achieved or who I’ve trained…I still struggle with my insecurities of not being good enough. Nonetheless, I find that passion for teaching health and fitness to others which fuels me to keep rising above and not falling, growing and not dying, creating and not destroying, and giving and not withholding.
I’m a firm believer that living a healthy and fit life, the journey you experience, and the lives you impact is more important than what you do or what you have accumulated. I got a taste of living how the 1% of the 1% live. And I realized that when I commit to my vision and purpose – I give 100% of my passion…and anything is possible for you and I.
It’s hard to think that over the past 23 years since my accident from almost paralyzed, brain dead and almost dead that I could have all these extraordinary experiences I’ve had in my career and life.
Now I’m committed to impacting 1 billion lives. I teach people how to pursue a healthy and fit lifestyle to fulfill their life’s dreams.
I do this through my online training, podcast, blog, videos, retreats and one on one interactions.
I’m so grateful where life has taken me and the life that I’ve chosen to live everyday. I believe we are all composers of our own life, and I’m truly blessed for the adversity I’ve faced. It makes me appreciate my life now and have a deeper compassion for others who suffer in much bigger ways.
I’ve been mentoring young health and fitness professionals through email, phone calls and even mentor programs I’ve created here in LA at my private training studio.
Always remember you were born for a purpose and something bigger than your ego. But YOU have to stop making the excuse that you can’t be healthy and fit because you do have the answers or resources. No one is going to do it for you! No one did it for me.
It’s your Responsibility to create a healthy and fit life where you can do and live your dreams like I am. No one is going to give you the power to build your mental strength, emotional stability and physical prowess. That’s all up to you!
Your dreams matter because YOU Matter! Never forget that! But you must learn to focus on the positive, build the foundation, visualize the goal and use the tools to compose your own story. Be the star you were born to be. Start the journey with me because the world is a better place when you are healthy and fit my friend!
Trust me! You have what it takes to be healthy and fit!
