JADORÉ MONAY (aka JADE SWEENEY)

Los Angeles based Jade Sweeney, known by her stage name Jadoré Monay is an singer- songwriter and dancer from Roseville, California. A suburban town found close to the state capitol, Sacramento.Through her lyrics, captivating harmonies and complementing top line melodies she is able to reveal to her listeners a young woman who is still learning to recognize self worth, love and discernment through her own life experiences. Jadoré commonly shares through her music the message of power behind the ability to create and strive towards the best version of ourselves. This specific topic is where the creativity of her stage name came from. Jadoré, pronounced as JUH-DOOR-RAY comes from the French word J’adore, meaning to adore or to love something or someone. She has embodied the concept of what she wants her audience to embody and manifest for themselves, doing this through the titling of herself as an artist.

Her musical sound consists of Contemporary R&B with a flattering taste of Hip Hop Grime. Her inspirations include Todrick Hall, Rihanna, Beyoncé and her God Father James Brown who imprinted her to become a performer herself. Since living in Los Angeles Jadoré has been involved in many showcases, winning and placing in both the Musicians Institute and Coast 2 Coast Live showcase competitions. She has also danced in music videos for artists Moosh & Twist, Todrick Hall, and Brandy Norwood. You can find her own original material on many music streaming platforms such as Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, Soundcloud, etc.

Jadoré’s Grandmother, Vonny Hilton Sweeney and God Father, James Brown were both widely involved in the music and entertainment business. She shortly became influenced by interest towards this particular industry at a very young age. Seeing Mr. Brown perform while growing up seeded the visions of her future self and what she could possibly and eventually grow into while chasing this dream. Something about watching him perform live from the sides of the off- stage wings gave her the opportunity to feel as close as she could to the energy coming off from the audience. This energy is the same feeling she gets from going to concerts. Its almost like inner recognition, an assured feeling that she was born for this and destined to become this future performer that felt oh so familiar to her.

The show biz is habitual and very well- known to Jadoré, she is no stranger to having her presence on stage. Growing up she was involved in all different types of performing, ranging from musical theatre, dance, and acting all the way to horseback drill team performances in rodeos all around California. After high school she started attending the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, majoring in Musical Theater. She then transferred to the Musicians Institute on Hollywood Blvd where she studied the Independent Artist and Artist Entrepreneur Producer programs.

Currently Jadoré is working on her next project, a single that she will be releasing towards at the end of November this year. Behind the scenes throughout the year she has been competing and making it through several rounds of the Coast 2 Coast Live Showcase Competition. She is currently one of the top 30 finalists out of thousands of independents artists from all over America.

DANIEL BRUCE LEVIN

Daniel Bruce Levin walked away from a huge opportunity (to work his way up from pushing a broom to running a billion dollar business), to hitchhike around the world to find happiness and inner peace. His life has been dedicated to finding the peace and contentment that comes from truly knowing yourself. His mission has become holding the space for others to find that peace too.

One day away from being ordained a Rabbi in Jerusalem, Israel, Levin left to come back to America. He opened a cafe and bookstore in San Francisco and then went to live for 10 years in a Monastery in the Foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains as a Monk.

He became the Director of Business Development at Hay House and played a big part in helping it grow from $3,000,000 to $100,000,000 over the next 10 years. Levin is a rare blend of mystic and businessman; he believes it is his ability to see things from different perspectives that draws people and companies to work with him and  it is what brings him his greatest joy.

He is the author of THE MOSAIC, a beautiful fable that touches the heart and soothes the soul, but to this day, he feels he is not the author. He knows it was the characters of the fable that actually wrote this story.

The Mosaic is a story that will touch the heart and soul of anyone who has ever experienced loss or felt alone and disconnected. It is a story of hope and of seeing a world you never saw before.  It is, a story of connection and in one way or another, it is the story of all of us.

The fact that you are here now means The Mosaic has found you. It invites you now, to read its pages. Let me warn you, it may appear simple but it should come as no surprise to the reader, that a story that speaks of seeing what you can’t see, would hint at connections that when taken would open doors to illuminate a completely new reality.

Tieg Johnson

Tieg has worked professionally as a musician ever since becoming the youngest graduate from the Musician’s Institute at 16.

His first job was touring the country with (now Academy Award winner) Brie Larson who also used him in her music video which was in heavy rotation on MTV. With Brie, he also performed on Sessions@AOL and the 2 Nickelodeon shows “All That” and “U Pick Live.”

After his band Canon got signed to a record contract, he decided to focus his efforts closer to home. Canon recorded an album with producer Justin Meldal-Johnson (Beck, NIN, Paramore) which was distributed by Universal.

Not being on the road allowed Tieg to become a session musician. He often records for Grammy winning engineer Cassidy Turbin (Beck), film composer Mark Isham, director Taron Lexton, and film composer Ali Helnwein. He has played guitar for major motion pictures (The Longest Ride), independent movies, television shows (Once Upon A Time, American Chopper), advertisements (Google, ABC Mouse) and recording artists (James Tillman, Fiona Grey, Wil Seabrook).

Tieg started his music career at the age of 10 being a featured singer in a 70 member singing, acting and dancing troupe that performed around Southern California. Deciding it was time to get back behind the microphone, he formed a throwback folk trio with two friends and they called themselves Shelby, Tieg & Tara. After a couple self-made EPs, hundreds of shows, 3 name changes and the addition of many new band-members, the group TIEG was officially born in 2018.

St. Francis Goes to Broadway

NY Times Bestselling Author and Famed "Peace Troubadour" James Twyman

Will Travel the U.S. Penniless, Performing His New Musical Based on the Life of 

St. Francis of Assisi on the Way to Off-Broadway 

Twyman calls forth St. Francis' values of inclusion, respect for all living beings and peaceful co-existence as a clarion call in a world so divided and dissonant

Trusting in the goodness and generosity of others to provide transportation, housing and sustenance, in the same manner as St. Francis, Twyman will cross the U.S., inviting ticket holders and even the homeless for a night of inspiration

The "Brother Sun, Sister Moon Musical Tour" will arrive in Portland, Santa Barbara, Phoenix, Sedona, Santa Fe, Kansas City, St Louis, Chicago, Cleveland and Philadelphia

Follows Directly on the Heels of his Newest Bestseller Giovanni and the Camino of St. Francis

James Twyman has always had a special affinity for St. Francis of Assisi, so much so that the NY Times bestselling author, film producer and internationally famed "Peace Troubadour" recently took orders as a Franciscan Hermit and was inspired to write his most recent book Giovanni and the Camino of St. Francis.

But now, Twyman will bring his stirring new musical on St. Francis Brother Sun, Sister Moon to Broadway on February 20-March 1, 2020--and with the beloved saint as his model--will travel a continent penniless, on foot and with whatever food, housing and further transportation that God will provide to get him there.

Along the way, Twyman will perform the one-man show as St. Francis in Portland, Santa Barbara, Phoenix, Sedona, Santa Fe, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, Cleveland and Philadelphia. Committed to the saint's values of love for all and support for those in need, Twyman will feed the homeless and invite them to the performance for a night of physical and soul nourishment.

"That's how Francis would have done it," Twyman said. "His life was centered on serving humanity in simple, down to earth ways. If he was alive today he'd probably embrace things like social media, but he'd also travel with no money and no possessions. In my case, I'll hitchhike, walk when I have to, and rely upon others for food and places to sleep."

It's part of Twyman's effort to make St. Francis and his teachings relevant today. Often regarded as the patron saint of animals, pictured surrounded by birds, wolves, or an assortment of other forest creatures, St. Francis of Assisi, who lived eight hundred years ago in Italy, is depicted on statues that abound in gardens almost everywhere you look today. For most people, he's little more than the "birdbath saint." But his values of inclusion, respect for all living beings and peaceful co-existence are a clarion call in a world so divided and dissonant.

"I've always been in love with St. Francis," he said. "When I was eighteen I left home and entered the Franciscan order, but chose a secular path instead to become "The Peace Troubadour." That felt like a natural progression. Now, after finally taking vows, I'm actually getting to express myself as St. Francis himself--through this musical. I wrote all the songs as well as the dialogue, and it feels like stepping back in time. It's actually the most fun I've ever had, and the chance to perform it in New York for two weeks feels amazing."

Brother Sun, Sister Moon will grace the stage at The Church in the Village. The pre-show routine will be anything but usual for these Off-Broadway performances. Says Twyman: "We'll have a team of people who'll join me around the theater and we'll be handing out free tickets to homeless men and women, inviting them to come as our guests. Then before each show begins we'll share a meal of soup and bread together, both the paid ticket holders as well as the guests. Once again, I want to get as close to how St. Francis would have done this as possible. He would have wanted people of every group to come together, not just those who can afford the ticket."

This undertaking would seem like a radical endeavor to most people, but to James Twyman it's just the latest in a long list of unconventional ventures. In his role as "The Peace Troubadour," known and revered internationally, he has performed his peace concert in such countries as Iraq, Bosnia, South Africa and Northern Ireland, often while wars and conflicts raged around him. In 1998, he was invited to perform in Baghdad by Saddam Hussein, and several years ago gave a peace concert on a hill overlooking a village in Syria held by ISIS. On his show Real Time, Bill Maher called him "the idiot singer from Portland," a label Twyman embraces, but this new project strikes even closer to his heart.

It evolved from his authorship of Giovanni and the Camino of St. Francis. Says Twyman, "The book is a novel, one I'm very proud of, but I couldn't figure out a good way to share it on tour. It's hard to talk about the story without giving too much of it away. Then I was watching a recording of Bruce Springsteen doing a one-man show on Broadway. It was brilliant and I thought 'Maybe St. Francis can do the same thing - a musical where he tells stories about his life and what he learned along the way.'"

Imagine being inspired by both The Boss and The Saint.

James Twyman, is also the NY Times bestselling author of 16 books including The Moses Code and Emissary of Light. He has also recorded more than 18 music albums including the Billboard chart bestseller I AM Wishes Fulfilled along with Dr. Wayne Dyer; as well as produced or directed seven feature films.

James is conducting interviews from October to December as the tour kicks off on Jan. 4 and he wouldn't be able to confirm controlled interview environments after that. So if you would like to have James Twyman on your show to bring the spirit of St. Francis to your listeners and share the plans for James' unique journey, please send an email with the name of the show, your contact information, a proposed date and time, and the calling details.

“There are two types of people...interested and interesting”.

Edward J. Evans

Edward died and started toward the Light at the age of 19, and has been exterior to his body 3 times, that he is aware of. He was married to the same beautiful woman for 60 years, and spent fifteen years in Scientology, but quit because they couldn't back up their claims...Edward has done several hundred hours of past life regression, and was there when Jesus was crucified!

He is the author of "The Truth Shall Set You Free" and "My Journey Beyond The Bizarre".

Edward is 87 years young :) He was born in Sioux City, Iowa in 1932. His Father died 10 days before his 4th birthday, and his Mother paid a Dakota Sioux Indian family pennies a day to babysit him so she could work. They moved to California in his uncles 1928 Chevrolet Touring car in 1938. He attended three different grade schools and three different High Schools. He had twenty-one different jobs before settling down and marrying his High School Sweetheart at the age of twenty-one.

 

Edward’s first out of body experience happened at the age of five years old. He was in a dentist's chair and left his body to search for his Mother.  His second out of body experience happened in Long Beach, California at the age of eighteen years old. His 1948 Harley Davidson motorcycle broke both chains and locked the rear wheel, throwing Edward over the handlebars without a helmet. The road rash was severe, to say the least.  

 

Edward went to work for Douglas Aircraft Corporation and at the age of nineteen was killed along with nine others due to a large curing oven explosion that sent him flying through the air for sixty feet landing on the edge of a work table.  A round trip to the light followed.

He went to college and became a Research and Development Electronics Engineer on the Minuteman Missile project and the Apollo Spacecraft project for a total of fifteen years. After this he worked as a Field Service Engineer for the Gardner Denver Corporation for nine years, flying all over the country teaching customers how to operate and maintain the company’s computer-controlled equipment that they purchased. After this, he created, owned and operated his own electronic assembly company for thirty-two years, called Sierra Assembly Services Inc.

 

Edward now lives alone. He lost his eldest Daughter in 2009 to lung cancer and lost his Wife of sixty years in 2012 to Dementia aggravated by a broken hip. His youngest Daughter, two Granddaughters, and three Great Grandsons give him lots of love, attention, and purpose.

Both James and his wife, Steph, have overcome the deepest darkest moments of their lives to create amazing lives. Fast forward 15 years, after many ups and downs and a lot of hard work, they recently sold their tech company, one of the world’s largest construction software companies! They have created a personal evolution company called Powerful U, along with producing a film, book, and assessment to help others transform their lives through evolving their Perceptions.  The book is titled Perception: Seeing is Not Believing and it's available now on Amazon and Barnes and Noble's websites.  

James and Steph’s journey of transformation is nothing short of extraordinary. Before they met 15 years ago, both of their lives had hit rock bottom. They were both financially, emotionally, and spiritually bankrupt. Life had beaten them down and shattered their self-esteem. At the lowest point in their lives, they met and were united by a shared vision of creating and becoming more. They started the only place they could by working on themselves and helping each other grow. They challenged each other every step of the way, and never settled.

Shortly after meeting, Steph wrote James’ first resume and taught him how to send an email. This began James’ unlikely career in technology. Around this time, they also started a family. Fast forward fifteen years, after many ups and downs and a lot of hard work, Steph and James recently sold their tech company, one of the world’s largest construction software companies. They now have five beautiful children and live an extraordinary life. Through this journey of self-creation, they developed a personal philosophy centered around perception. They believe perception, more than any other factor, will determine how someone’s life will turn out. James and Steph started Powerful U as their way to give back to the world.  

Their mission is to provide a roadmap for people to master their perceptions and their emotions to become the conscious creators of their lives. According to James and Steph, “Everything you see and experience is determined by your perception, and your emotions give your life the only meaning it has.”

James and Steph Purpura are seekers who find the state of humanity inadequate. They believe the unrealized potential of the individual is both the source and solution to this problem. Their goal is to inspire fellow seekers to tap into their unlimited potential, through a personalized combination of philosophy, science, technology, and community.

Gina Gardiner is a No1 International Bestselling Author, Motivational Speaker, Empowerment and Relationship Coach, and Transformational Leadership Trainer with well over 30 years of experience helping people experience happiness, success and fulfillment. She’s the founder of the Thrive Together Tribe membership and personal and spiritual development program and The Enlightened Leadership Program.





Gina has learned to walk twice as an adult. For over 20 years, she ran her award-winning school, for the most part from a wheelchair.  The gift of this experience was the development of a unique approach to life and the development of transformational leadership.  





Gina's journey has not been an easy one. She became the youngest Deputy Head Teacher (Deputy Principal) of the largest school in the district, at age twenty-nine in September 1982. She had a serious ski accident in February 1983 when she fell between 150 and 200 feet down a black run when the mogul she was sitting on gave way.  Gina then became the Head Teacher of the school 7 months later when the Head died suddenly in his sleep. Gina became the Head (Principal) and ran the school for twenty-one years --mostly from a wheelchair.





Necessity is the mother of invention. The greatest gift of her disability was the creation of a very different approach to helping people step into their genuine power.  This facilitated a unique and highly effective leadership program, based on mutual respect and people taking radical responsibility for their performance and shared responsibility for the success of the school.  





The strategies were successful, and the success was sustained was demonstrated as the school won several accolades including being on Her Majesties’ Inspectorate’s (HMI) ‘Best 100 Schools (In England,)’ list, twice during my leadership.

Work was great pain control, Gina became very good at switching her body off whilst she was working but it was taking its toll. Gina left Headship in 2004 because her health was deteriorating but, she was not ready to sit at home and be limited by her health.  



Gina reinvented her professional life and published her first two books (Manage Your Staff More Effectively and Kick Start Your Career) to give herself credibility in the business world and expanded her coaching skills. She became an NLP Master Practitioner and coach.

 

Over the years it has become very clear when working with individuals, couples, teams or whole organizations that the vast majority of challenges or issues fall into one of five categories: beliefs, particularly self-belief, love and relationships, achieving and sustaining success, managing change and transition and finding a sense of purpose and fulfillment.  

These are represented by the five secret pathways in her latest book, ‘Thriving Not Surviving – The Five Secret Pathways To Happiness, Success, and Fulfilment.’ In the book, Gina shares the principles and lots of practical strategies which have helped her and clients achieve greater happiness, success, and fulfilment.  These act as an SAT NAV to help people navigate the challenges of life.  

 

"I believe that disability is a metaphor for life. Limiting beliefs: I’m not worthy, not clever enough, too old, too poor, not beautiful enough, etc. keep people stuck.  I may have challenges with my mobility but I have the capacity to wheel away (usually at high speed) in my wheelchair.  I have learned that it is not the challenges that define us but what we do with them. Focussing on what I can do rather than what I can’t and challenging those beliefs which have the capacity to limit have made a tremendous difference to the quality of my life."
