You pitch: Despite lots of money being spent and hard work by many people in the developed world, today more than half of the children in the world get little to no education and, in Africa, this number is about 80%. And, we believe we cannot end poverty until every child in the world gets at least a high school education. So, here at the Weiss Scholarship Foundation we have built an holistic business model that can create a world where every child gets a great education which is how we end poverty.
Already in Kenya we have awarded 141 scholarships. Already we have four university graduates and eight vocational school graduates. We also have one of our students who is at Elmhurst University in Elmhurst, IL. We support children through high school and then on to either University or Vocational School. We do this through our holistic business model that recognizes children need much more than having their school fees paid. This is why we have seven staff people on the ground who are totally engaged in the lives of our children to make sure we are doing everything possible to help our children be successful.
We started in one community in 2012 and now we have scaled our holistic business model to four communities. We have proven the quality of our model and that we can scale it. Additional resources will allow us to scale even more.
We look for donors of all kinds. We send children to four years of boarding high schools for only $3,500 which covers all expenses for all four years. This is $3 per day. So, we welcome all donations from a few dollars to many thousands of dollars. Donors have the opportunity to support a student on their own for all four years of high school with a $3,500 donation.
We ask people to picture a world with no poverty. This is our goal.
Biography: Brett Weiss spent eighteen years as a high school social studies teacher and twenty-five years in software sales. He made a volunteer trip to Kenya in 2009 that dramatically changed his life. He was able to get to know people who are among the poorest in the world and whose children were getting little to no education. Yet, they were incredibly kind and hard-working people who just wanted a chance for their children to have a better life. This led to the creation of the Weiss Scholarship Foundation.
Brett and his wife Chris have two adult children and three grandchildren.

Today we are speaking with Lee Carroll and Monika Muranyi who work together as part of a joint mission to share the messages and teachings of Kryon’s wisdom. Lee’s relationship with Kryon began in 1989 when he experienced a profound loving energy that awakened him to an understanding that God was bigger than anything he was ever told. Since then, Lee has produced fourteen Kryon books, and was the co-author of three Indigo Children books. These Indigo books introduced the world to the term “Indigo Children” in 2000, spawning many follow-up books by various authors, a movie, a documentary, and lots of interest worldwide regarding our changing kids! The Indigo books have sold almost half a million copies world-wide in twenty-three languages. Lee is the original channel for Kryon and his service to humanity as a channel for Kryon has been recognized by the Delphi Metaphysical University who awarded him an honorary doctorate degree of Science, Transpersonal Psychology, & Metaphysics. In addition, Lee Carroll has been listed as one of the “100 most spiritually influential living people” by the prestigious WATKINS “Mind, Body, Spirit” magazine from the UK for over six consecutive years. In 2012 Monika Muranyi began her journey with Lee when she launched her first published book, The Gaia Effect. Monika went on to publish three more subject-driven books from the vast collection of Kryon channels. As a result, she has masterfully helped tie together the complex subject of who we are and why we are here. Throughout her books, Monika has posed dozens of questions to Kryon that provide us with greater understandings and new realizations about our esoteric truths. Their partnership in the Kryon work has resulted in the creation of three beautifully illustrated oracle card decks, two Kryon Apps for the smart phone, and a weekly online gathering of old souls who participate in the Healing Wednesday program.

I started in the orthotic industry in 1987 as a Lab technician.
In a short time, I had worked my way up into a management position.
I have 30 plus years of biomechanical knowledge, all taught to me by my mentor, Dr. Michael J. Burns.
In my spare time, when I'm not at work, I like to hunt/fish, go on long walks or maybe go target practicing. I also try to spend as much time as I can with my grandson.
Michael Crouch, LCSW graduated from Columbia University with his MSW in 1991. Before that he spent 15 years in theatre/music. He has a private practice in Stamford, CT and is the co-coordinator of the FCTRT and a Consultant in EMDR. As part of his work with the FCTRT he is embedded with the Norwalk Fire Department. The FCTRT was formed after the Christmas day fire in Stamford, CT and a year later responding to the tragedy of Sandy Hook/Newtown. His understanding of and training in trauma and 1st responders began. Michael did a TEDx talk in 2014 on "Grit" in the 1st Responder Community.
My Values: Family, Hard Work, Honesty, Community, and Fiscal Responsibility.
Growing Up: I was born and raised in Eads, CO. My parents, Henry “Burrel” and Ruby, were from farming families and longtime residents of the area. I have an older brother, Ken. My father was a barber by trade and operated Burrel’s Barber Shop after serving overseas in World War II. He semi-retired from his shop and worked for the local Draft Board until fully retiring in 1986. My mother worked in the office of the local Eads hospital for over 30 years until 1987. Following retirement, they moved to Fairplay to help my wife, Lillian, and I raise our children.
My father and two of his brothers (one older, one younger) each married one of the three Buck sisters!
My First Job: When I was 12, I began working at the local flower and gift shop owned by my aunt and uncle. Frequently, we worked into the night getting flowers ready for weddings or funerals. This is where I learned the work ethic that I still carry with me today. They later opened Wissel Dry Goods where I worked through high school until leaving for college in 1974.
College: I left for college in the fall of 1974 and attended Southern Colorado State College in Pueblo, and attended one year. I was a music major with a minor in Business Administration. I loved band.
Love for Music: I am a drummer to the core; playing music is my passion. In fact, I played rock ‘n’ roll with my brother from age 12 through today! He plays bass guitar. Our dad used to drive us to and from gigs around southeastern Colorado when we were starting out. Music was always important in our family. My father loved music – he played trumpet and was a member of our church choir along with my mother. They always sang for Sunday services. I still enjoy singing hymns at church on Sundays.
As a child, I tried to learn piano, but my teacher couldn’t get me to play softly. I wanted to make noise – not just music! In fifth grade, I switched to drums.
Finding My Forever Home: I moved to Fairplay in the summer of 1979 to play rock ‘n’ roll with my brother Ken who was working for CDOT as a “drift buster.” I needed a day job so I applied for a position at the Park County Assessor’s Office doing administrative work. I was promoted to Deputy Assessor after six months and in October 1980, I was appointed as Assessor. I proudly served in that capacity for 38 years.
My grandfather, Aurelias Barr worked on the Sam Hartsel Ranch in the 1920’s – 30’s with his two brothers. That was the beginning of our family heritage in South Park.
Love of my Life: I met my wife, Lillian, in 1980 while we were both working for Park County – I was Deputy Assessor and she was Administrative Assistant to the Board of County Commissioners. We became fast friends and shortly after getting to know her, I knew she was the one. We were married in May 1982. We have three children together: Brandon, Jennifer and Dominic. Lillian has two sons from a previous marriage, Mark and Jeffery. We have a wonderful, large family that has given us grandchildren, great grandchildren and grand-dogs!
My Hobbies: Playing drums! I was a member of the band Revolver from 1979-2012 . We played classic rock ‘n’ roll all over Park County. I get an opportunity to play every now and then, and I still love it! I also enjoy spending time with my family – we are lucky that our children live in Colorado.
I also serve on the Board of the Upper South Platte Water Conservancy District (USPWCD) and have been involved with that organization since 1985. I wanted to get involved and give back to the county that had given me so much.
My Philosophy: Lillian and I do not know a stranger. We are regular local folks. We have remained here through these years because we love this place, and the people. I am a good listener - I have to be - since I have hearing loss in my left ear. I was swimming and got an ear infection when I was five. It has taught me to be a very attentive listener.
My Favorites:
-
Food - Pork Chops & Rice.
-
Sport - All Colorado based teams, college and professional. Love the Broncos, Nuggets, Rockies, and Avalanche. Go CU Buffs!
-
Dream Vacation Spot - Colorado - there’s no place like it. Anything with water and camping is always awesome.
-
Band - Revolver of course ;) I also love Rush (Neal Perth is my idol as a drummer), Eagles, Doobie Brothers, Eric Clapton, Journey and anything that has that old classic rock feel.

More about “Proof of Spiritual Phenomenon:”
Fully indoctrinated into the cult of science, neuroscientist Mona Sobhani, Ph.D., aggressively defended the dogma of scientific beliefs—until a series of life-altering events caused her to reconsider spirituality and psi concepts and launched her into a two-year investigation into the ineffable mysteries of our world.
Sharing the extensive research she discovered on past lives, karma, and the complex interactions of mind and matter, the author details her transformation from diehard materialist to open-minded spiritual seeker. She reveals her conversations about spirituality and anomalous occurrences with scientific colleagues as well as high-level experts and government officials who shared data on extremely sophisticated experiments that provided proof for the existence of psi phenomena. She discovered that psi research has been conducted on a grand scale for more than a century—by hundreds of scientists with hundreds of thousands of participants—and that there exists substantial evidence for the reality of psi. She examines meta-analysis of these experiments, such as that of the Ganzfield tests, which showed odds against chance of 12 billion to 1—throwing our current scientific materialist paradigm into question.
Providing a deep dive into the literature of psychology, quantum physics, neuroscience, philosophy, and esoteric texts, Sobhani also explores the relationship between psi phenomena, the transcendence of space and time, and spirituality. Culminating with the author’s serious reckoning with one of the foundational principles of neuroscience—scientific materialism—this illuminating book shows that the mysteries of human experience go far beyond what the present scientific paradigm can comprehend.

BRYN RYAN-VANDYKE
Genre: Alternative Folk Pop – A story teller with catchy hooks. From haunting ballads to driving rock with the occasional county pop thrown in the mix.
Bio:
It was New Year’s Eve in Noosa Bay, Australia. At midnight, looking up at the Southern Cross, Bryn didn’t know what she wanted to do with her life. However, she did know that she did NOT want to grow old and look back with regret that she let fear or insecurity keep her down.
Bryn also knew that, in order to be really good at something, you need to have passion for it. The only thing that really moved her was music. This presented a problem – she didn’t really know how to sing. Music struck deep emotion in her and she wanted to explore why
Bryn decided to start believing she could sing-figuring by the time she got a chance, she would learn. That chance came sooner than expected after returning home to Southern California. She asked to sing a song with a band at a party – that started her journey.
Bryn began to write songs and teach herself to play the guitar at night because she had a day job. She started playing with a small band at coffee houses and small venues. After a while, Bryn broke out on her own and played all over Hollywood in places like the famous Rainbow Room, Pig n Whistle, Coconut Teazers, Club Lingerie and all over Orange County, CA.
Bryn focused mainly on songwriting. Even though she had wonderful fans and performed often, she never felt truly comfortable on stage or with her singing voice. She finally started doing some serious work on her voice a couple of years ago and Covid gave her extra time to focus.
Because there are people who believe in her songs and because she now truly believes in herself, She has turned a page in her musical journey.
“I want to look back on my life without regret – I want to help people with my music – I am looking forward to the future and this new phase of my journey.”Bryn Ryan-VanDyke
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
With one record-smashing night in his exploding hockey career, Boyd Anderson went from 'the best line in junior hockey' to an international playoff team of champions from Zug, Switzerland. After creating a huge sale to Saudi Arabia, Boyd moves from Toronto to Budapest to Dubai and unknowingly finds himself at the 'Top of the Food Chain'. It is in Dubai, 2007 where he meets Thomas who introduces him into a world of deception and unimaginable Power Wielding Elite, hyper-competitive dealmakers and hungry profiteers, who trade entire lives just as easily as they swapped arena tickets and team contracts, behind the scenes of business, governments and politicians you've heard of. But when CNN announced, “Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 has disappeared” on a March morning in 2014, Boyd immediately blurted out, “I know who did this.” Horrified, he became an investigator, using his highly toned instincts and perception, along with his memory. Backed up with facts, he saw all the pieces coming together, realizing that hundreds of lives lost were just 'collateral damage' for a 55,500 Ton gold heist. Even worse, using ancient numerology and researching the main players introduced to him from a nearly forgotten contact who had described a plan for just how Bitcoin, political turmoil in Europe and the Middle East, and even the world's economy would play out -- drastically changing the world as we know it, in just a few years. After spending 3 years investigating and researching, Boyd discovered 3 abandoned Boeing Jumbo 747's left on the tarmac at Kuala Lumpur airport, he finally figured things out. Unable to escape the feeling that all the signs were in place for a scandal that's bigger than Watergate, now everyone needs to know the truth regarding the origin of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero & ETC Classic, the Blockchain, Kraken, Brexit, ISIS, Interest Rate Hikes -- and the biggest gold heist-assassination in the history of the world!
