More than ever, people just want to put away the business cards and connect authentically, one human being to another. When we do that – when we are just ourselves and share our personal stories of challenge and growth – we have the power to transform lives, starting with our own.

In this fun and insightful moStory, Anya looks at resiliency from the bottom and the top, and shares her personal experience on what it takes to stay on top of it all, no matter what. www.anyaromanova.com

AT YOUR VEGETABLES OR ELSE! How my parents taught me to sell with power...: Richard Zinck learned from his parents that there would be consequences for not following what they told him to do. As he grew older he became skilled in using this technique on others, although he was hated for it. His success took him to the top with many awards and publicity, but there was a piece of him that got lost. This is the story of gifts, consequences and choices. Richard is married with 3 children, 1 grandchild and a dog. www.richardzinck.com
