Paradigm Shifterse Presents a Tribute to Sai Baba by a Student Jack Hawley
Our Paradigm Shifter is Sai Baba. Sai Baba, Guru, “love all, serve all, hurt never, help ever” and “there is no death” made his transition on April 24th.
Beloved by many, controversial by some, he blessed throngs of devotees in India and round the world.
With an unfoldment of a palm he manifested vibuti, a sacred ash which, placed on the tongue was said to heal folks. Or jewellry. Or jewels. Or even real denominations of money! Jack Hawley was a student for many years. We asked him to return to Paradigm Shifters to speak of his experiences with the guru and in his ashram over many years. The multi dimensional blessings remind us all that Sai Baba as with others who are able to move through dimensions, work with us from different vibrational vantage points. You can feel the love.

TIEG is the name of the band, currently made up of members Shannon Canchola, Gabriel Grinta, Tieg Johnson, Shelby Lindley, Tara Louise, Robbie McCarthy, Chris Rolontz, Seana Thompson, Yu-Ting Wu.
Featured on The LIFE CHANGES Show are:
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.

CEO of Global Schoolwear
Adam Weil, CEO of Global Schoolwear, was a former senior director in charge of the school uniforms unit at Lands’ End. “The interesting thing about this business model is that if there are 100 kids in a school, and we go 99 out of 100 in outfitting them, we still don’t win if just one kid is out of uniform. That’s one of our biggest challenges—to have enough of the right inventory available in real time for customers to order.”
But it’s a challenge that Global Schoolwear has learned to control with a customized digital commerce platform, Weil and Kohls say. Earlier this year, they put together a new technology framework designed to match thousands of buyers from hundreds of schools with the just the right mix of Tommy Hilfiger garments according to the style, color and school logos each educational institution requires its students to wear.
Global Schoolwear, which has an exclusive license from designer apparel brand Tommy Hilfiger to produce and sell school uniforms, has contracts with more than 450 schools to provide uniforms according to the specifications set by Tommy Hilfiger and by each school. Global Schoolwear takes Tommy Hilfiger’s garment specifications, then works with textile mills to produce the right garment materials in cotton and other fabrics, and works with apparel manufacturers to produce the garments.
It stocks enough goods in its warehouse-fulfillment center—about 1 million pieces at any one time during peak periods, with about 9,000 SKUs—to meet the expected overall back-to-school demand. As customers place orders on each school’s customized electronic product catalog that runs on Global Schoolwear’s ecommerce platform, each order is coded to indicate the garment type, style and color, plus the logo specifications.

Dee Wallace is a rarity in Hollywood, a young actress who immediately found success and is still in demand three decades later as an accomplished veteran in her craft, with such major credits as ET: The Extraterrestrial and Cujo along the way.
But she doesn’t attribute her staying power to her blonde Midwestern good looks or traditional acting methods. She credits the intuitive style of heart-centered acting that she tapped into at the very beginning of her career and which ultimately lead the way to her becoming a highly-regarded healer and spiritual teacher, as well as an in-demand actress.
For the past decade, Wallace has blended her two careers, acting when the calls came, while simultaneously teaching the spiritual wisdom that she discerned through the perfection of her craft and her life experiences. Her new book, Bright Light: Spiritual Lessons from a Life in Acting (O Books, 2011) shares with readers the lessons she learned in her journey toward living an illuminated life.
After a Kansas childhood strained by her father’s alcoholism and suicide, and watching her mother sacrifice her own dreams of performing to keep food on the table, Wallace graduated from the University of Kansas, and then headed first to New York for two years and then to Hollywood with a passion to act. No stranger to performing--having been a ballet dancer throughout her youth and student actress in college she found that everything aligned in her favor to jumpstart her acting career. Wallace attained almost immediate success, and in pursuing her career she eschewed traditional acting schools until she connected with Charles Conrad, who encouraged his students not to memorize, but to act from their intuitive instincts. This style of acting fit Wallace perfectly and opened her up creatively.
This inner source would provide her wellspring of ability, and lead to significant roles in ET: The Extraterrestrial, Cujo, The Howling, Ten, The Frighteners, Critter and more than 130 movie roles; several series; 400 commercials and hundreds of television credits. She has most recently been seen on Grey's Anatomy; Cold Case; Without a Trace; Ghost Whisperer; My Name is Earl; Criminal Minds; Saving Grace; Law and Order, Los Angeles, and Detroit 1-8-7. Wallace continues to be one of Hollywood’s most sought-after TV guest stars. She has worked with some of Hollywood's biggest names including Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson, and Blake Edwards. Not even half way through 2011, she has booked a dozen movie roles. Wallace also continues to be a favourite of the talk show circuit with appearances on Oprah and The O'Reilly Factor.
In the early 1980s, Wallace actually shared the screen several times with her then husband Christopher Stone before his unfortunate, early demise from a heart attack in October, 1995. His death was a significant test of her spiritual faith and a crucible for growth.
As Wallace applied what she had learned about following her heart and living from her intuition, she felt a natural inclination to share her wisdom both as an actor and spiritual teacher. She founded a very successful acting school, which taught life lessons, as well as acting, and then she began speaking around the world. She discovered her ability to help people heal their deep wounds, release their fears and limitations, and live a more satisfying and authentic life. She continues to work with people individually and through seminars, teleseminars and speaking engagements.
As an inspirational speaker her engagements have included numerous national and international venues such as the Love and Harmony Forum in Tokyo, Japan; the Dillion Lecture Series; Unity Temple; the Kansas Film Commission; Spiritworks; Energetic Healing seminars throughout England, and her own healing and teaching seminars throughout the United States.
Wallace held weekly international radio shows on Voice America and Awakening Zone networks, but in the now holds private healing sessions at her home in LA. As an author, Wallace devoted her first book, Conscious Creation, to the art of self-healing and she co-authored The Big E with Jarrad Hewett. Wallace has also been featured in or contributed articles for many other publications including People, US, Guideposts, Family, Awakening Zone, TV Guide, LA Times and the Washington Post.
Additionally, we can now officially announce that Dee Wallace will be starring on Steven Spielberg's ABC Series - The Whispers - shooting in Vancouver, Canada. Dee says, "It's great to be reunited with the director who put me on the map." Ms. Dee Wallace is also the author of three inspiring books: "Bright Light," Getting Stuff," and "Wake Up now."
Indeed, nowadays, she is so deeply passionate about raising the Consciousness and Vibrations of Mother Earth, and all with its inhabitants, that she is currently hosting her most invigorating and fascinating of accomplishments to date - Conscious Creation Radio on Blog Talk Radio: https://www.blogtalkradio.com/consciouscreation

Guitarist,Singer
'The Lost Beach Boy'
D A V I D M A R K S
One of the founding members of
T H E
B E A C H B O Y S
E X C L U S I V E
David Lee Marks is best known for his work as a member of The Beach Boys. Growing up across the street from the Wilson family, Marks spent his formative years singing and playing with Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson.
At age 10, David received his first guitar for Christmas; he and Carl began studying with John Maus (later John Walker of the Walker Brothers) and developing their own electric guitar style, which caught the attention of Carl’s oldest brother, budding composer Brian. David and Carl’s rock ‘n’ roll guitar sound blended with Brian’s complex harmonies to help create the signature sound of the Beach Boys.
Thirteen-year-old Marks officially joined The Beach Boys in February 1962 and became one of the five signatories on the band’s recording contract with Capitol Records. He remained a member through October 1963, performing in over 100 concerts across the United States, appearing on national television, and playing rhythm guitar and singing on the band’s first four albums, and on hits like “Surfin’ Safari,” “409,” “Surfin’ U.S.A.,” “Shut Down,” “Surfer Girl,” “In My Room,” and “Be True to Your School.” While David's time in the band may be considered short, there's no denying the impact of the early years of the Beach Boys on their enduring and iconic legacy.
Leaving the Beach Boys gave David the freedom to focus on his own songwriting with a new band, David Marks & The Marksmen. One of the first bands to sign to Herb Alpert’s A&M Records, The Marksmen packed concert venues up and down the state of California but ultimately disbanded in 1965 after a release on the Warner Brother's label.
Marks went on to record session-work for Murry Wilson's Sunrays. He also played with Casey Kasem’s Band Without a Name, cult-classic psychedelic-pop bands The Moon and Colours, Delaney & Bonnie, and Warren Zevon. By age 21, he had been signed to five major record labels and had grown disillusioned with the Los Angeles music scene. In 1969, he relocated to Boston, where he studied jazz and classical guitar as a private student at the Berklee College of Music and the New England Conservatory. David went on to earn a reputation as a solid session guitarist without ever capitalizing on his previous association with the Beach Boys.
Through it all, however, he remained friends and stayed in contact with members of the Beach Boys, even appearing as a special guest from time to time. David rejoined the band in as a full-time member in 1997, when Carl Wilson, fighting cancer, was unable to continue touring with the group. Marks left the band for a second time in 1999 after being diagnosed with hepatitis C. Since his diagnosis, he has become a leader in the hepatitis C community, often appearing in the media to raise awareness of the disease.
In 2007, David co-wrote his autobiography, The Lost Beach Boy, with Beach Boys historian Jon Stebbins. The book is a frank account of his career with and without the Beach Boys, his health problems, his musical development, and his recovery and acceptance within the Beach Boys community.
The Beach Boys celebrated their 50th Anniversary in 2012 when David Marks joined Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, and Bruce Johnston on a 73-date World Tour. The highly anticipated reunion kicked-off at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards where they performed two classic hits: Surfer Girl (with Foster the People) and Good Vibrations (with Maroon 5). Their studio efforts led to the release of That’s Why God Made The Radio on Capitol Record, marking the first Beach Boys album of new material since 1992; for their efforts, the album broke in at Number #2 on the Billboard charts. The band’s subsequent world tour took America's Band on 73 shows on four continents and included appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon, Charlie Rose, Good Morning America, the Jools Holland Show, SMAP, and the Today Show Australia. The also sang the National Anthem on opening day of Dodger's Stadium, which was also marking its 50th season.
Post reunion, David and Al Jardine joined Brian Wilson for a short US Summer Tour, followed that fall with a subsequent North American tour which included Jeff Beck. The collaboration was voted the #3 tour of 2013 and landed Wilson, Jardine, Marks & Beck another slot on the Jimmy Fallon Show. David Marks also joined an illustrious group of artist who guested on Brian Wilson’s 2015 solo release, No Pier Pressure – his guitar can be heard on the album’s single, The Right Time, which charted #28 on the Billboard charts and #1 on BBC Radio Two, and David Marks toured as a part time member of Mike Love's Beach Boys from 2014 - 2016 and continues to perform with the Surf City All Stars and Dean Torrence of Jan & Dean. David's also returned to his roots as a session guitarist, playing on several albums by artists such as the Smithereens, the Surf City All Stars, Mod Hippie, Jez Graham, and Miami Dan.
On his own, Marks has also released two studio albums in the last five years: David Marks & Friends: Live on the Sunset Strip (with guests artists Marilyn Wilson-Rutherford of the Honeys and John Walker of the Walker Brothers) and Back in the Garage featuring Los A-Phonics, from Valencia, Spain, with whom he toured Spain in 2016.
