Andrea says, “I strongly believe the best way to meet people is through online dating---there are 100.6 million singles in the US and 1 of 3 met their spouse online in 2021. Too many people give up too quickly, don’t know where to begin, have no idea what website to choose, have poor photos, and have trouble writing their online dating profile. My average male client tells me I save 80% of time with online dating by following my protocol and process. I specialize in 2nd Time Around dating--just like second acts in business.”

1984 was elected to President of the Michigan Rental Housing Association, a 3,500 professional membership, serving 1984 and reelected in 1985. During his tenure he held two private meetings with the then governor of the state of Michigan, and co-authored legislation benefiting the impoverished, and rental housing owners, so as to provide a mechanism by which those in need would have their rent checks paid directly to the property owner, effectively opening up the rental housing market for these individuals in need were to beforehand virtually locked out of the marketplace.

1986 became the number a top selling real estate broker or agent in the entire United States. Having successfully sold 188 individual transactions (the closest competitor that year was 156 transactions).

1988 retired from real estate practice, owning at the time over 300 individual pieces of real estate. (Retirement lasted 90 days.)

1988 Held two marketing through technology week long boot camps in Las Vegas. 50 seats, $5,000 per seat. Sold out each time, back-to-back months.

1989 Started Business Network Communications, a telephone company, first as a reseller for a large long distance company, and six months later as an independent phone company, not as a reseller, with offices in all 50 states and approximately 77,000 independent salespeople.

Business Network Communications was doing roughly $18 million per year in sales in the commercial phone business, just 18 months after formation of the company. Business Network Communications was the first telephone company to offer brandable and rechargeable prepaid calling cards, many of which may still be collector’s items today.

1996 sold Business Network Communications and retired for the second time but only lasting 30 days this time around at retirement.

Early 1997 Mike G became involved in the new emerging World Wide Web.

1997 One of Mike’s companies was the first to give away web sites Based upon fill in the blank templates. Giving away over 60,000 sites with an average income of $24.50 per month from the extensive list of options made available.

1997 Mike developed several new methods of marketing and direct marketing strategies for the Internet, such as

1) The first company to offer an affiliate program

2) The first company to develop a privacy statement on the page where any prospect was asked to enter any information about themselves otherwise at the time the methodology was the Privacy Statement always was shown on another page, i.e., distracting the prospect from taking action on the order form. This practice now which reads basically “We promise never to rent or sell or share your information with anyone for any reason”. This method is widely in use to this day as marketers have learned not to distract a prospect from the call-to-action page.

1999 Mike G developed both BannerCo-Op and then BannersGoMLM. BannersGoMLM was, and is, a free network marketing program rewarding the members not with money, but with advertising and a system which provided for a one-to-one exchange. In other words, every time a banner was hosted and seen on a member’s page, that member would earn a credit to have their banner posted on another member’s page. It was wildly successful and built one of the largest databases at the time on the internet.

2001 Mike G was asked by the senator with auspices over the authorities to prepare a white paper which led to several important modifications to the now existing spam laws.

2008 We’ll fast forward. Mike G, this year and the next, earned the distinction of sponsoring more people into a network marketing program than had ever been done. 11,000+ people in program one, over 5500+ people in program two, and over 5300+ people in program three. And we are not speaking of downlines, but directly sponsored members into three different network marketing companies.

Mike G. has gone on to become one of the most prolific website owners and marketers on the internet.

Every week on Tuesday evenings at 7pm Eastern, Mike G has for years hosted a free conference call/ podcast teaching people specifically, “How to be a better you.” It’s all about marketing. It’s all about sales. It’s all about life and success.

He attended college at Pace University, the downtown NYC campus which was situated just down the street from the Brooklyn Banks, at the time, “The Banks” was one of the most famous street skate spots in the Country. He recalls how difficult it was to focus in class when all his skate buddies were skating in the vicinity and, on the other hand, how nice it was to walk out of class and almost instantly be reconnected with friends skating some of the best street spots in the City. No need for phones or social media.

Marko spent 20 years living in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he raised his kids, worked professionally in advertising and kept skating. It was skating that originally caught his eye for the Bay Area and a career job in SF solidified his relocation from NY. He blends his Bachelor’s in Business Administration with over ten years of co-leading non-profit youth development organizations, volunteering in several capacities including Skateboard Coach. This, combined with over thirty years of actual skateboarding experience and some encouragement from fellow volunteers, in 2018.

Newest Nick Reagan Thriller Tackles Evil and Corruption Within US Borders 

GREENWICH, CT — Bestselling author Jeffrey Stephens delivers a nail-biting escape from reality — while exploring contemporary real-world problems — in his latest spy thriller, Enemies Among Us.

“You’ve got to keep the action going,” Stephens said during an interview. “This is not some kind of deep psychological treatise; this is a thriller, and if people aren’t turning the pages, then I’m not doing my job.”

Enemies Among Us is a sequel to Stephens’ first book in the series, The Handler, which an Authors.com reviewer called “a heart-pounding ride with great narratives … It’s got it all — spies, assassins, guns and terrorist cells … If you liked Vince Flynn novels, you would love Stephens’ super-cool CIA operative Nick Reagan.”

Enemies Among Us takes all that to another level, as Reagan and his partner, Carol Gellos, attempt to track down the terrorist responsible for the planned attacks in The Handler. While the good guys are easily identified in that story, it is a bit more difficult to tell the heroes from the villains in Enemies Among Us.

As Reagan assembles clues to the whereabouts of his prey, his superiors in the CIA inexplicably order him to stand down, and it becomes increasingly evident that the evil he faces could be corruption from within.   

Charting an unfamiliar course amidst the pervasive treachery and deadly secrets inside the nation’s capital, Reagan is not sure who he can trust as he works to expose the worst of America’s elite — those who believe in a New World Order.

Violent confrontations intensify with each new act of treason he unearths, leaving Reagan to rely on his patriotic instincts as he and his team risk their lives to bring down these traitors and restore safety and freedom.

“Many may have thought the continuing threat from terrorists was over,” Stephens said, “but as we have recently seen, it remains incredibly current and violent … while few would believe that corruption within our own intelligence services and the highest levels of corporate power are something we are dealing with in real time.” 

Jeffrey S. Stephens is a successful attorney in private practice, residing in Greenwich, CT. In additional to The Handler and Enemies Among Us, he is the author of the Jordan Sandor thrillers, Targets of Deception, Targets of Opportunity, Targets of Revenge and Rogue Mission, as well as the Anthony Walker murder mystery Crimes and Passion and the Pencraft first-place award-winning novel, Fool’s Errand.

Enemies Among Us, a Nick Reagan Thriller, by Jeffrey S. Stephens
Richard Perkins Hsung

Big idea: Jean Tren-Hwa Perkins was born unwanted during the 1931 Yangtze River Flood, adopted by medical missionaries, brought to the US for a few years, then trapped in Communist China. She was neither American nor Chinese "enough," yearning for acceptance and home her whole life. Her memoir, finished by her son, is an eyewitness account of Chinese history and her own harrowing story. 

 

Why it matters: The Chinese immigrant experience, especially for women, is often overlooked and deserves to be told. Bridging two centuries, this story brings to life themes of displacement, hope, and a woman's coming of age, and brings history to life.

 

Key messages: Richard Perkins Hsung promised his mother he would complete her memoir. It took him more than ten years. He meticulously compiled and edited her writings, adding family photographs and historical details to create the 3-volume Spring Flower, spanning the 83 years of her life (1931–2014). 

 

The author can also discuss:

• How missionaries played a vital and misunderstood role in 20th century China.   

• Why his mother's US citizenship was blocked, despite her adoptive American parents.

• How the rise of Communism destroyed Chinese families for generations. 

• How language and displacement struggles triggered his mother's depression.

• How his mother achieved a successful career as an ophthalmologist despite the odds.

• Why he chose to set aside his own career as a professor to complete Spring Flowers.

• How he uncovered secrets and truths about his mother's and his own life.

 

The source: Richard Perkins Hsung was born in China in 1966 and was one of the first teens to leave China legally after Mao’s Cultural Revolution. He earned a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Chicago and became a professor at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, retiring in 2022. He spent ten years editing and completing Spring Flower (Earnshaw Books) by his mother, Jean Tren-Hwa Perkins, MD. The three-volume memoir chronicles her life as an adopted child of American medical missionaries, survivor of China's brutal communist regime, ophthalmologist, immigrant, and mother. Hsung lives in Madison with his wife, where keeping squirrels from digging up his backyard has become a daily scientific obsession. Learn more at Yangtze River by the Hudson Bay.
