Shaun Monson is writer, director, and producer of documentary films.

His debut film, EARTHLINGS (2005), was narrated by Academy Award Nominee Joaquin Phoenix and is considered a milestone in documentary films for animal welfare organizations around the world. His follow-up film, UNITY (2015), which took 8 years to complete, features an astounding cast of 100 celebrity narrators.

In 2018 he co-produced the documentary DOMINION, narrated again by Joaquin Phoenix, along with Rooney Mara, Kat Von D, Sia, and Sadie Sink. The film is an updated look at modern-day factory farming.

During the pandemic in 2020, he released a series of short films beginning with GUARDIANS OF LIFE, about the wildfires in the Amazon and Australia. The film stars Joaquin Phoenix, Rosario Dawson, Oona Chaplain, Matthew Modine, Adria Arjona, Albert Hammond, and Q’orianka Kilcher.

He also directed the short film LIBERTY, again starring Joaquin Phoenix, which was filmed the day after winning the Academy Award for JOKER. The film is about the release of a mother and calf from a slaughterhouse.

Monson also produced and directed the film THERE WAS A KILLING, about the death of animal activist Regan Russell in Toronto.

In 2021, he produced and directed a follow-up to LIBERTY called INDIGO, released on Earth Day, where Phoenix visits the animals he rescued at a sanctuary one year later.

Monson, Phoenix, and Rooney collaborated again on a public service announcement called A CHECKERED PAST, which is about 42 primates at a sanctuary that closed, and they all needed to be re-homed.

In 2022 he began adapting Dr. Michael Greger’s New York Times best-selling book HOW NOT TO DIE into a documentary film, a project that is ongoing.

He also directed the short film THE HEART WHISPERER about activists who are unsung heroes.

In 2023 he produced and directed THE DEER OF CATALINA, a short film about the plight of mule deer on the island.

He is currently developing a new project on alternative proteins that will help eliminate climate change, world hunger, and factory farming, but are dismissed through misinformation campaigns funded by animal agriculture. The film is entitled MASTERS OF CREATION.

Luis Oliart, Southern California guitarist, singer/songwriter, has been described as, “simply magical … totally captivating … compelling.” His sound blends funk, rock, soul and blues to produce music with a fresh groove and full of soul.

Oliart has entertained audiences at venues throughout the world, including, BB KIng’s, CBGB, Hard Rock Cafe, House of Blues, Key Club, Knitting Factory, The Bitter End, Troubadour and, yes, Carnegie Hall. Plus a long list of performances in Vancouver, Toronto, Thailand, Spain, France, Germany, Denmark, Greece and Switzerland.

Although he’s a talented multi-instrumentalist, often identified with his  electric, acoustic and Dobro guitar wizardry, Luis has gotten rave reviews for his vocal chops and songwriting skills. As Music Connection Magazine’s Bernard Baur raved,

“Oliart weaves extraordinary rhythms and guitar percussion that are simply magical.”

Along the way, Luis managed to make the Top 50 on NBC’s Star Tomorrow, which also earned him the high praise from Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top.

Luis Oliart & The Hinges have just released their new single, “Hold On To Our Love,” which is a further of Oliart’s refinement of his unique “soul-funk-blues” songwriting and performances. The obvious appeal of Luis’ approach is seen weekly in Southern California venues where Luis Oliart & The Hinges have crowds up on their feet with sets that rely heavily on Oliart originals.

Luis Oliart said, “I wrote Hold On To Our Love so our band, The Hinges, would have a lively, happy song for our live shows. I am a fan of traditional African music and artists, so we’re striving to create a feeling that leans into that African sound of jubilation mixed it’s musical descendent, the American blues. It turned into a celebration in the studio when we were able to jam on this song with the same energy as in our live shows.”

Luis’ current band, Luis Oliart & The Hinge includes: Fishbone founders, Norwood Fisher & John Steward, Pharcyde keyboard legend, Chuck Boogie and guitarist Jay O’Keefe.

Landry has focused on novel approaches to intractable health problems, combining medicine and organic chemistry. His work on cocaine addiction led to the discovery of an artificial enzyme to degrade cocaine. His report on the enzyme, published in Science, was chosen by the American Chemical Society as one of the 25 most important chemistry papers in the world for 1993. An agent (Cocaine esterase) he co-developed to treat cocaine overdose has entered clinical trials from Tonix Pharmaceuticals.[17][18][19] He founded the Columbia Organic Chemistry Collaborative Center and it is through this Center that he conducts his current work on drug discovery.

Landry discovered a new hormone deficiency syndrome: vasopressin deficiency in vasodilatory shock. In pioneering the use of vasopressin to treat septic shock and vasodilatory shock after cardiopulmonary bypass, he changed clinical practice for these life-threatening conditions. He also founded ICU nephrology at Columbia, introducing continuous renal replacement therapy to treat renal failure in patients with shock.

Landry developed an alternative method for the production of human embryonic stem cells that relies on harvesting live, normal cells from embryos that—by objective, peer-reviewed criteria—have died of natural causes. Cells harvested from dead embryos would be covered under the established ethics governing transplantation of essential organs from deceased donors.

From debilitating chronic fatigue to the US Open in 6 months’ time, Veronica Karaman knows something about developing a championship mentality for overcoming adversity to make the impossible possible. The founder of TrueChampionAcademy.com, she is a speaker, golf professional, and high performance coach for aspiring athletes and other achievers. She is also an 8-time best-selling author of The Champion’s Way: Core Foundations for Achieving Peak Performance in Sports and Life, and her newest book, God, Make Me a Champion! An Athlete’s Journey of Faith into the Power of Surrender.  Her passion and mission in life is to release the inner champion in others. 

It was through her own journey out of “outward success but inward brokenness” as an overachieving, performance-driven athlete that Veronica discovered a better way to do life and performance---from a place of love and acceptance.

Her 12 Module on-line training system, The Champion’s Way, is based on the four zones of performance: the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Equipping athletes with a framework of thought as to how peak performance happens instills in them a holistic approach to achievement.

Veronica also helps her students develop the identity of a champion so they perform from the center of who they are and not from the illusive meaning of an outward goal.

Her greatest passion and joy is in helping faith-based athletes make the connection between their faith and competition.

A graduate of Duke University and Regent University, Veronica holds two master’s degrees. She currently lives in Pinehurst, North Carolina, where she still enjoys playing championship golf as a senior competitor. Her golf career highlight was playing in the 1989 Women’s US Open.

Ken Elliott

Ken Elliott is an artist and writer living in Castle Rock, Colorado. 

He is a full-time artist, and someone who has experienced and collected astonishing stories for over 30 years.

His book, Manifesting 1, 2, 3 … and You Don’t Need #3 is not an ordinary Manifesting or Law of Attraction book.

The book contains critically new information beyond the Law of Attraction and makes the entire manifesting process amazingly simple. Special tools or talents are not necessary. 

The book also provides an elegant tool for dealing with your worries and negative thoughts. Thoughts create, and you don’t want to empower the negative ones!

Ken has experienced sending objects in thought and having them appear in the home of someone gifted enough to describe what had been sent. 

Ken learned that intentions instantaneously start to manifest on the Other Side. 

Ken has commented, "I was fortunate. I directly learned that thought creates, and does so immediately. 

“In this book, I relate how thoughts begin to form in the non-physical world, and how you can bring them into your life simply and efficiently! The information I gleaned is so simple, it is laughable.”

A number of true stories are included in the book to clarify concepts and for your encouragement.

This is a results-oriented book. Over and over, people tell Ken about their successes with Manifesting 1, 2, 3. 

They say, “It just works!”

Start pointing yourself toward happiness and don't forget, there is a bonus…
