Oct. 17, 1 pm ET. Nick Santonastasso: Life and Business Coach, The Power of Failure and Resilience Nick Santonastasso

 
You think you have challenges. Nick Santonastasso has no legs and only one arm with a single finger due to a rare birth condition, and yet he has led a highly successful and enriching life. In this session, Santonastaso explains how he does it and what he shares in his speaking and advisory services to help others rise above their challenges.
 
Accept and embrace failure. That’s one of the key lessons Nick Santonastaso will share in this upcoming show. Santonastasso’s path to victory from victimhood, he believes, proves the power of resilience, mindset, and the human spirit. Santonastasso will discuss the positive mindset of his parents that helped fuel a determination in him to triumph in life and accept failure, starting with their focus on his chances of survival rather on his potential early death. He will explain his conviction that successful people embrace failure with an unfailing dedication to learn from it.

Oct. 18, 1 pm ET. Murray Sawchuck: Insights From a Magician and Comedian Murray

 
Sawchuck has dubbed himself "The 'Dennis the Menace' of Magic.”  He has been a headliner at Las Vegas for more than 22 years. He burst on to the scene after becoming a semi-finalist on NBC TV’s “America’s Got Talent,” on which he was seen by over 22 million people nationwide. He apparently astonished judges Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandell when he produced a Ferrari out of thin-air, transformed a girl in a locked cage into a 450-pound tiger and by making disappear an entire steam train locomotive, all before a live audience. 
 
His YouTube show now has over 1 billion views, and he’s a regular guest expert on magic on History Channel’s “Pawn Stars. He has been featured on over 20 reality shows. His act often consists of a mix of comedy, illusions, and magic.
 
We’ll ask what Sawchuck what he has learned from the power to fool almost anybody while making them laugh and much more about the insights he shares as a speaker and as an event facilitator.
