Former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, Marianne Williamson is a bestselling author, political activist and spiritual thought leader. 

For more than three decades Marianne has been a leader in spiritual and religiously progressive circles. She is the author of 14 books, four of which have been #1 New York Times best sellers. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…” is considered an anthem for a contemporary generation of seekers. 

Williamson founded Project Angel Food, a nonprofit that has delivered more than 13 million meals to ill and dying homebound patients since 1989. The group was created to help people suffering from the ravages of HIV/AIDS. They have since expanded their service to any person battling critical illness. 

Marianne has also worked throughout her career on poverty, anti-hunger and racial reconciliation issues. She has advocated for reparations for slavery since the 1990s and was the first candidate in the 2020 presidential primary season to make it a pillar of her campaign. 

In 2004, she co-founded The Peace Alliance and supports the creation of a U.S. Department of Peace. In addition, she advocates for a cabinet level Department of Children and Youth to adequately address the chronic trauma of millions of American children. 

She is currently the host of The Marianne Williamson Podcast: Conversations That Matter.

Marianne Williamson is an internationally acclaimed spiritual author and lecturer. Six of her ten published books have been New York Times Best Sellers. Four of these have been #1 New York Times Best Sellers. A Return to Love is considered a must-read of The New Spirituality. A paragraph from that book, beginning "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure..." is considered an anthem for a contemporary generation of seekers.

Marianne's other books include The Age of Miracles, Everyday Grace, A Woman's Worth, Illuminata, Healing the Soul of America, A Course in Weight Loss, and The Gift of Change. Her newest book, THE LAW OF DIVINE COMPENSATION: On Work, Money and Miracles, was  published in November 2012  by Harper Collins.

She has been a popular guest on television programs such as Oprah, Larry King Live, Good Morning America and Charlie Rose. Marianne is a native of Houston, Texas. In 1989, she founded Project Angel Food, a meals-on-wheels program that serves homebound people with AIDS in the Los Angeles area. Today, Project Angel Food serves over 1,000 people daily. Marianne also founded the Department of Peace Campaign, a grass roots campaign to establish a United States Department of Peace.

In December 2006, a NEWSWEEK magazine poll named Marianne Williamson one of the fifty most influential baby boomers. According to Time magazine, "Yoga, the Cabala and Marianne Williamson have been taken up by those seeking a relationship with God that is not strictly tethered to Christianity."

Kurt Schlichter is a writer and commentator who has been a freelance writer since 1984. He currently serves as a senior columnist for Townhall.com. He has also frequently written for various publications on political, cultural, and military issues.

Besides his writing career, Schlichter has been a trial lawyer and partner at Schlichter & Shonack, LLP since December 1994.

Furthermore, Schlichter has served the Army National Guard for over 27 years as an Army colonel. He was an Infantry/Cavalry officer for the United States Army and California Army National Guard. As an Army officer, Schlichter commanded a cavalry recon squadron and served in the Gulf War and Kosovo. He retired from the Army in early 2015.

Additionally, he is an author. He has written several dystopian conservative action novels and non-fiction books, including ‘I Am a Liberal’ (2012), ‘Conservative Insurgency’ (2014), ‘People’s Republic’ (2016), ‘Indian Country’ (2017), ‘Wildfire’ (2018), ‘Militant Normals’ (2018), and ‘Collapse’ (2019), ‘Crisis’ (2020), and ‘The 21 Biggest Lies About Donald Trump (And You)’ (2020).

Age & Early Bio
Kurt Schlichter was born on 24 December 1964 in Cincinnati, Ohio. His age is 57 years as of 2021. Schlichter moved to San Mateo, California, with his family at age six. Schlichter became inclined to conservative political ideology at a very young age.

He says conservative values make more sense to him. Schlichter grew up as a proponent of free speech, a militant right-winger, and a military supporter.

In 1987, he graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in communications and political science from the University of California San Diego. During his college years, Schlichter served as an editor for California Review, the conservative student paper, and a regular columnist in The Koala, the satirical comedy college paper.

Schlichter also has a Juris Doctor degree, which he earned from Loyola Law School in 1994. Later, he received a master’s degree in strategic studies from The United States Army War College in 2011.

‘People’s Republic’
‘People’s Republic’ is Schlichter’s debut novel published on 16 September 2016. According to goodreads.com, it is a funny, frightening, and action-packed thriller novel that takes the contemporary world’s news and forecasts about the future of America. The fictional novel discusses the consequences of America’s growing political and cultural divisions that split the United States apart.

Several authors, television, and media personalities have provided outstanding reviews on Schlicher’s ‘People’s Republic.’ Jim Geraghty of National Review calls it “a surreal, fast-paced journey through a dramatically different America but less than a generation away. … Violent, imaginative, full of mordant humor and dark, gritty details, you won’t want to live in this People’s Republic…but you’ll feel a chill as you wonder how different our real future will be.”

Similarly, columnist David Limbaugh describes his novel as “a thought-provoking action thriller set against the backdrop of a shattered America.”

Furthermore, Fox News contributor and author Katie Pavlich says, “They say conservatives are terrible story tellers, but Kurt Schlichter destroys that stereotype in his new novel People’s Republic and issues a dire warning about the future of America.”

Chef Charles Webb is not just a chef; he is an innovator, storyteller, and connector of people. Born in Chicago and raised in both San Antonio, Texas, and Irapuato, Mexico, Webb’s early life was marked by resilience and independence. With a childhood shaped by financial struggles and family challenges, Webb found his first lessons in the kitchen as a young boy. Encouraged by his mother to cook with real ingredients during her long hours at work, Webb’s passion for food and self-sufficiency was born.

However, Webb’s journey to becoming a celebrated chef was far from linear. After graduating from the European School of Economics in Rome, he began a career in finance on Wall Street. But a pivotal moment—witnessing 9/11 from a SoHo street corner—led him to reconsider his path. He left the corporate world to pursue his love for food, embarking on an extraordinary global journey.

From honing his craft at Michelin-starred Noma in Copenhagen and The Mercer Kitchen in New York to working at Casas Brancas Resort & Spa in Brazil and aboard mega-yachts on the Côte d’Azur, Webb absorbed culinary influences from every corner of the globe. Across 92 jobs in nine countries, he gained the skills, perspective, and entrepreneurial spirit that define him today.

Returning to Chicago, Webb founded Avanti Gourmet Catering, a business that reflects his belief in food as an experience rather than just a meal. Drawing on his multilingual abilities, international network, and deep appreciation for diverse cuisines, Webb creates unforgettable moments that transcend the plate.

Webb’s impact goes beyond the kitchen. He is a philanthropist, contributing to organizations such as the One Goal Foundation and Lurie Children’s Hospital. He is also the creator and host of #ChefOnTour, a digital series that merges culture, community, food, and art with travel. Visiting cities around the world, Webb collaborates with local influencers, chefs, and artists to craft intimate, purpose-driven dining experiences in extraordinary settings—from Buddhist temples to historic landmarks.

At the heart of Webb’s work is a commitment to connection and purpose. Whether raising funds to provide cooking appliances for underprivileged families in Medellín, Colombia, or sourcing innovative ingredients like Lion’s Mane mushrooms and cannabis, Webb’s vision is expansive. He believes food is a universal language—a way to foster dialogue, inspire action, and bring people together.

As a culinary leader and cultural pioneer, Webb continues to push boundaries, blending his passion for storytelling, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship. He invites the world to join his journey of discovery, collaboration, and impact—because, as Webb believes, together, it all tastes better.
