Betsy Pool
If there’s one story that has fascinated humans throughout time it is humanity’s origin story––Who are we? Where did we come from? How did we get here? What is our purpose? And where are we going? Every culture has its own mythology, its own creation story. But this week we are going to be discussing a lost mythology that has reawakened to unite the mosaic of individual stories into a singular narrative. It is a bold, new, and at the same time ancient story that has recently been brought to light in part 1 of a 3-part documentary series that has just been released via the Internet.

Betsy Pool is a master storyteller, writer-producer, director, and narrator of The Story of Everything – A New and Ancient Mythology of Humanity Revealed, which lays out, point by extraordinary point, an alternative history of humanity that stretches far outside the history books. An award-winning screenwriter with an extensive production background in Broadway theater, film, and television, she is co-founder of Wake-Up! The Association for the Advancement of Consciousness, based in Klagenfurt, Austria as well as The Institute for the Mythology of Humanity, based at the Damanhur Community in Italy where she has resided since 2009, and where she started to reassemble a cohesive ancient history of humanity that is not reflected in the history books into a mythological narrative that could be shared as a catalyst for the world. She and partner use their ability to tap into the higher selves to provide private readings and group channeling sessions for clients.

Dr. Lee Merritt
Dr. Lee Merritt began her medical career at the age of four, carrying her father’s “black bag” on house calls, along the back roads of Iowa. In 1980 she graduated from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in New York, where she was elected to life membership in the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. Dr. Merritt completed an Orthopedic Surgery Residency in the United States Navy and served 9 years as a Navy physician and surgeon before returning to Rochester, where she was the only woman to be appointed as the Louis A. Goldstein Fellow of Spinal Surgery.

Dr. Merritt has been in the private practice of Orthopedic and Spinal Surgery since 1995, has served on the Board of the Arizona Medical Association, and is past president of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. She has had a long interest in wellness and fitness, and has been Fellowship Certified by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.

At age 63 she won a female bodybuilding championship in Physique class—with a lot of help from her friends and patience of her family. As a lifelong advocate of free market, patient-centered medicine Dr. Merritt had the opportunity to appear on the John Stossel show to speak against Obamacare. More recently she has appeared on numerous radio programs discussing Covid-19, the futility of mask mandates, and other lies and omissions from the medical “technocrats”.

Her recent speech at Doctors for Disaster Preparedness on “Sars-CoV2 and the Rise of Medical Technocracy” has been widely viewed on YouTube, and forwarded on by Dr. Mercola—one of her medical heroes. She is married and the proud mother of two sons, one of whom carries on the four generation medical tradition as a General Surgeon, and the other with a real job as an Electrical Engineer. In her spare time, Dr. Merritt raises chickens, gardens and enjoys a rural Midwest lifestyle.

Toni’s Notes

I started my business in 2004. I did not plan to be a book coach, but I always knew I wanted to write a book and when the time was right and I was ready, I looked for an ebook coach and there weren't any. I was learning from a book on the topic and it was frustrating, I needed more help and since it wasn't available and I had learned that the money was in coaching what's in the book, not from book sales, I decided to figure out how to teach book writing a better way and become the first ebook coach. Eventually ebooks and books became one and the same and we just put them in both formats. But that is how I became a coach. It chose me. As far as my first book, I had no idea what to write about. At that time we were buying, fixing and selling properties and moving every 6 months of so. The movers had commented how good I had gotten at moving so I figured I'd create a book on how to save money moving. I made many of the rookie mistakes the biggest one being that it was a boring topic, I wasn't passionate about it. It took a long time and I got frustrated and wanted to quit. But by that time I had decided to become an ebook coach and find a better way, but figured if I was going to teach it, I better finish this one and go from there, so that's what I did. And over time books and ebooks have become the same, just in different formats and we give clients both.
