Are you prepared for the future of AI in your real estate business? with Howard Getson
For centuries, fortune tellers have scammed and fooled the uneducated deceiving them into believing that they could see the future. Of course, we know that's not true. Human beings cant reliably predict the future. Yet, you can predict what kind of technology will be needed in the future. You can do this by understanding human nature and what human nature will want from the technology of the future. That's exactly what Henry Ford, Steve Jobs, and Elon Musk did. It's what enabled them to create the products and services for the future. Howard Getson has been the CEO of an A.I. company since way back in 1991. Howard has seen first-hand how better decisions can be made by using artificial intelligence. As a matter of fact, that's exactly what he's done with his A.I. technology platform and the hedge fund that runs on that platform. As a long-time technology entrepreneur, Howard believes that two important principles of growing your company and understanding the future are making the invisible visible and the intangible tangible.

Is Trauma Holding You Back From Reaching Your Highest Potential? with Shalev Amar
Shalev Amar, isn't a psychiatrist. He isn't a psychologist. He isn't a therapist. Shalev isn't even a doctor, he's a lawyer. A very successful lawyer, who for the past 17 years has been advocating for consumers of defective Lemon vehicles and getting manufacturers of defective Motor Homes, cars, and motorcycles to abide by the Lemon Law. Shalev has been involved in thousands of such cases and his team of 11 have proven exceptional in this area of law and successfully resolving Lemon Law claims for their clients. While Shalev was winning in the legal world, he felt he was losing in his own emotional world by being trapped in nearly unbearable trauma caused cycles of flight, fight or freeze. Shalevs ultimate goal in the next step in his life after he leaves the practice of law is to devote himself completely to helping people release, process, and heal their own TRAUMA. During his 9-year healing journey, Shalev has read hundreds of books, watched thousands of hours of videos, attended numerous seminars, and actually studied more about TRAUMA than he ever did about the legal world his career has been based on. As a result of this extensive study, Shalev has uncovered some unique and highly effective trauma release, processing, and healing methods, which he's going to share with you today.
