Guest Biography:

Dakota Frandsen is an author, poet, musician, occult specialist, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and so much more! I am on a mission to change the world, and build an empire to do it!

Specialist of the Strange, and Podcast Host of "Specialist of the Strange Radio Show," Dakota provides a unique perspective that combines both mainstream science and supernatural perspectives in order to provide as thorough analysis into claims of the unknown possible; thus allowing him to remain versatile in the face of any situation that arises. Dakota has been in the face of demonic beings, Sasquatch, UFOs, and more.

Dakota studied various texts and claims since he was 11 years old and taken on investigations since age 14. His experience spans from investigations, summoning, exorcism, documentation, research, and experimentation.

At the age of 14, Dakota founded the "Paranormal Raider Force," a team of individuals dedicated to helping people understand the issues from "unknown sources." It was through the efforts that expansion into books and the media as possible as outlet representatives continued to hear about Southern Idaho's lone teenage ghost hunter. But at the same time, it was revealed that plenty of other issues plagued the clients he served, ones that had quite "normal" origins.

"Ghosts, monsters, aliens... I've been on cases to go after it all and turned up evidence that could very well point to the existence of such things but as the "hunts" continued rather unfortunate matters came to fruition. Signs of domestic abuse, suicidal tendencies, drug use, and much more were prevalent in a variety of cases. With my own personal struggles in those areas and connections with law enforcement, I established partnerships with various charities to help combat these issues while further studying the effects on the mind and in dealing with the supernatural."

Guest Biography:

Crystal Iserhoff, Clairsentient Intuitive Healer, Exceptional Hypnotherapist, Motivational Speaker, and Transformative Life Coach

"Crystal has a keen sense of intuition that she infuses in her work. Her guidance has helped me to see my issues from a broader perspective, allowing me to approach a problem in a completely different way than I would have on my own. I am truly grateful for her ability to listen and provide feedback that gets to the heart of an issue. She is a gifted coach and hypnotherapist!"  Thank you, Julie

Crystal Iserhoff, Healer and Leader 

Although Crystal was always Clairsentient,  she was not able to identify her gifts until she began her healing path. Being called in another direction from education, she officially left University studying English Literature to become a Hypnotherapist at HMI.  From there, Crystal has been training, under many different healing modalities to fine-tune her intuitive gifts.

Crystal has worked with hundreds of clients, deleting unwanted energy blocks and resistance so that clients can live their full potential. 

In addition, Crystal teaches clients, who want to further their own intuitive abilities, tap into their full energetic healing gifts.   She says, "There is a balance between the physical and energetic world. When you take action to clear both ends of the spectrum, you are powerful as a creator to obtain your dreams."

"Working with Crystal has been an amazing and life-altering experience for me. She is patient and kind and always comes from a place of love and authenticity. I've had my energies and Chakras cleared and immediately felt a shift within myself. As a result, I feel more focused and motivated. It has renewed my hope and has filled me with more determination and has helped me have a refreshed outlook on life."--A.C.

Guest Occupation: Spiritual Healing, Author, Psychic Medium, Spiritual Teacher, Speaker
Guest Biography:

I believe that my true mission and purpose in this life is this:

To use my gifts to transform and heal others by empowering them to stop stopping themselves—and instead, believe in and love themselves. Once self-love and self-belief are realized, I truly believe all of us have the power to see our own magnificence and manifest all that we desire and deserve.

My fans say they are drawn to my methods because I speak to them as a friend would, with genuine compassion and pure love, using words that resonate with their whole being.

But perhaps what they respond to most is that I’m not afraid to get in the gutter with them and tell it like it is.

My psychic and mediumship abilities allow me to reach into the beyond to find and define meaningful guidance for my audience. My psychotherapy skills helps them use this enlightenment to heal and grow.

Yes, I may smack people upside the head (figuratively, of course!) with tough-to-hear messages, but in the end, they always hug and thank me, and dance out the door, completely energized, hopeful, focused and filled with love!

LEGENDARY SINGER-SONGWRITER-GUITARIST

MASTER STORYTELLER

EXCLUSIVE ON INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS

WITH RAY SHASHO

 

Tom Rush is a gifted musician and performer, whose shows offer a musical celebration…a journey into the tradition and spectrum of what music has been, can be, and will become. His distinctive guitar style, wry humour and warm, expressive voice have made him both a legend and a lure to audiences around the world. His shows are filled with the rib-aching laughter of terrific story-telling, the sweet melancholy of ballads and the passion of gritty blues.
Rush’s impact on the American music scene has been profound. He helped shape the folk revival in the ’60s and the renaissance of the ’80s and ’90s, his music having left its stamp on generations of artists. James Taylor told Rolling Stone, “Tom was not only one of my early heroes, but also one of my main influences.” Country music star Garth Brooks has credited Rush with being one of his top five musical influences. Rush has long championed emerging artists. His early recordings introduced the world to the work of Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne and James Taylor, and in more recent years his Club 47® concerts have brought artists such as Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin to wider audiences when they were just beginning to build their own reputations.
In 2012, he began a revival of his Club 47® shows at Boston’s Symphony Hall. Tom Rush: 50 Years of Music, featured old friends David Bromberg, Jonathan Edwards and Buskin & Batteau, and new friends like Dom Flemons of the Carolina Chocolate Drops. The show was streamed live, and has been released as a DVD video.
He followed up with a sold-out show at Symphony Hall in 2013, with the Kweskin Jug Band, Maria Muldaur, Geoff Muldaur and Bill Keith, Patty Larkin, Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion.
Today, Tom Rush lives in Massachusetts when he’s not touring. His voice has grown even richer and more melodic, and his music, like a fine wine, has matured and ripened in the blending of traditional and modern influences. He’s written a number of new songs. He’s doing what he loves, and what audiences love him for: writing and playing …passionately, tenderly…knitting together the musical traditions and talents of our times.

Guest Biography:

If you’re interested in knowing how I turned from client to owner of SixPack Abs, let’s start with a confession:

Even though my hard work and determination resulted in tons of success in business, I couldn’t make a dent in the extra pounds around my middle. At least not on my own.

I had to admit I needed help, and once I did my research into healthy, long-term weight loss it led me to VIP Platinum Coaching at SixPackAbs.

With one-on-one coaching, tailor-made supplements and research-driven insights, I saw quick results, both physically and mentally. Within 8 weeks, I lost 12 pounds with the nutrition plan alone!

I’ve kept the weight off for around 2 years now, all the while keeping my eye on the SixPackAbs company. As the founder and CEO of Harter Investment Strategies, I look for great companies poised to go to the next level. And I became increasingly impressed by SixPacks’ culture, community and growing commitment to client satisfaction.

Wait… client satisfaction isn’t the right word. What really got me fired up was seeing SixPack’s growing passion for their client’s success.

I saw that passion in every person I met when I visited company headquarters in Austin, Texas. My coach tweaked my workouts in a way that significantly improved my results. The newest SixPack trainer, Thomas Deleaur, couldn’t wait to give me a sample of Thermofast, and now I can’t imagine being without it. Mark Mcilyar and Clark Bartram from the Abs After Forty program shared their workout and blew me away with their health, strength and vitality.

So, it was the people and the passion that sealed the deal. And now I couldn’t be happier about investing nearly five decades of experience in this business … while the SixPack team invests in you. Hoping success to you!!!
