in a bustling city filled with dreams and aspirations, there was a young man named Alex. Alex had always been fascinated by the power of the human spirit and its ability to overcome any obstacle. He believed that with the right mindset and unwavering determination, anyone could achieve greatness.From a young age, Alex had a burning desire to become an accomplished musician. He would spend hours practicing his guitar, pouring his heart and soul into every note.Despite facing financial struggles and growing up in a neighborhood where opportunities were scarce, Alex never lost sight of his dream.As he grew older, Alex started performing at local cafes and small venues, slowly building a reputation for his soulful melodies and heartfelt lyrics. But success didn't come easy. Rejections and setbacks were common, but Alex refused to let them define him. He embraced each challenge as an opportunity to grow and improve.One fateful day, Alex received a phone call that changed his life. It was an invitation to audition for a renowned music producer who had heard about his talent. Excitement surged through his veins as he prepared himself for the opportunity of a lifetime.At the audition, Alex stepped onto the stage, his guitar in hand, and poured his heart into his performance.The music filled the room, captivating everyone who listened. The producer was spellbound by Alex's raw talent and undeniable passion.A few nerve-wracking days later, the phone rang again. It was the producer, offering Alex a record deal. The young musician couldn't believe it. Years of hard work, perseverance, and unwavering belief had finally paid off. This was his chance to make a mark in the music industry and share his gift with the world.Alex's journey to success was not without its fair share of challenges. The path to stardom was filled with long nights, demanding rehearsals, and sacrifices. But through it all, he never lost sight of his purpose. He used every setback as fuel to propel him forward, never doubting his ability to overcome any obstacle that came his way.With each new album release, Alex's fan base grew, and his music touched the hearts of millions.His songs carried messages of hope, resilience, and the power of the human spirit. People from all walks of life found solace in his lyrics, drawing strength from his story of triumph over adversity.Alex's success extended far beyond the music charts. He used his platform to inspire others, sharing his journey of perseverance and reminding people that they too possessed the power to chase their dreams relentlessly. He became an advocate for mental health, spreading awareness and encouraging others to prioritize their well-being.Years later, Alex stood on the grandest stage of all, accepting numerous awards and accolades for his contribution to the world of music. But it wasn't the trophies or the fame that brought him the greatest joy. It was the knowledge that his story had inspired countless individuals to pursue their passions and never give up.Through his unwavering belief in the power of the human spirit, Alex had shown the world that winning wasn't just about achieving fame or recognition. It was about the journey, the growth, and the indomitable spirit that resided within each of us.And so, his story lives on, a testament to the fact that winning is not limited to a select few but is within the reach of anyone who dares to dream, persist, and believe.

Inca One is an established gold producer www.incaone.com Inca One Gold has a six-year track record of production as an established Peruvian toll-milling gold producer. The company has grown production by more than 272% over the previous four years and produced 25,000 ounces of gold in 2019. Inca One has now put into place a strategic plan to further increase production to 100,000 ounces annually. STOCK SYMBOLSInca One Gold (TSX.V: IO / OTC: INCAF) is a gold producer operating two fully permitted gold ore processing facilities in Peru. Peru is the world's sixth-largest producer of gold and its small scale mining sector is estimated by government officials to be valued in the billions of dollars annually.CEO & PRESIDENTEDWARD KELLY:Over 15 year career in capital marketsmanaging and running firms in a diverse range ofsectors from natural resource to technology. HeldSenior Management positions and directorship with several public companies on the TSXV Exchange/ OTCThis content contains “forward‐looking information” and "forward-looking statements” under applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws (collectively, “forward‐looking statements”). These statements relate to future events or the Company's future performance, business prospects or opportunities that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management made in light of management's experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: the Company’s business strategy; future planning processes; commercial mining operations; cash flow; budgets; the timing and amount of estimated future production; recovery rates; mine plans and mine life; the future price of gold and other metals; costs of production; and completion of milestones thereunder. Assumptions may prove to be incorrect and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. Consequently, guidance cannot be guaranteed. As such, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon guidance and forward-looking statements as there can be no assurance that the plans, assumptions, or expectations upon which they are placed will occur. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward‐looking statements. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “continue”, “estimate”, “expect”, “may”, “will”, “project”, “predict”, “forecast”, “potential”, “target”, “intend”, “could”, “might”, “should”, “believe” and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be “forward‐looking statements”. www.positivestocks.com/gold6 Reasons to consider Inca One Gold Corp.(TSX.V: IO / OTC: INCAF) in the next gold bull market: 1) Gold is about to make new all-time highs:Global economic uncertainty and rapid monetary inflation have resulted in a strong upward trend for gold prices. Most analysts predict gold will break through $2,000 per ounce before the end of 2020 and could reach $3,000 per ounce in 2021. 2) Inca One is an established gold producer:Inca One has a six-year track record of production as an established Peruvian toll-milling gold producer. The company has grown production by more than 272% over the previous four years and produced 25,000 ounces of gold in 2019. Inca One has now put into place a strategic plan to further increase production to 100,000 ounces annually. 3) Inca One’s business model is built for rising gold prices: 4) Inca One has tremendous growth prospects: Inca One currently has a small market cap under $100 million that is set to re-rate much higher as it expands production at its processing facilities. Additionally, as it rolls out its new direct-to-consumer bullion store and rides the gold bull market higher, it will experience significant operating and sales leverage to rising gold prices. 5) Inca One is focused on its shareholders: With just 27 million shares issued and outstanding, Inca One has one of the tightest share structures of any publicly traded gold mining company. Thanks to its stable, cash flowing business model the company does not have to unnecessarily dilute shareholders by raising additional capital. 6) Inca One insiders have serious skin in the game: Management, board members and key investors of Inca One hold 52% of the outstanding shares of the company. This means that management interests are aligned with shareholder interests, which is crucial for a company to be successful over the long term.DO NOT BASE ANY INVESTMENT DECISION UPON ANY MATERIALS FOUND ON THIS WEBSITE.We are not registered as a securities broker-dealer or an investment adviser either with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or with any state securities regulatory authority.

Gary Michelson is on the show....Dr. Gary Michelson is a board certified orthopedic spinal surgeon, inventor of more than 990 patents throughout the world, the founder and funder of three private foundations, recipient of numerous awards, and among a small group of individuals to ever be inducted into both the National Inventors Hall of Fame and the National Academy of Inventors. SOCIAL LINKS (twitter, facebook, linkedin) if applicable:Michelson Medical Foundation: www.twitter.com/MichelsonMedRFwww.facebook.com/michelsonmedicalwww.instagram.com/garymichelsonmmrf20MM Foundation:www.twitter.com/michelson20mmwww.facebook.com/Michelson20MMwww.instagram.com/michelsonimpactFound Animals Foundation:www.twitter.com/FoundAnimalsOrgwww.facebook.com/foundanimalswww.instagram.com/foundanimalsDr. Gary Michelson is a board-certified orthopedic spinal surgeon and a Diplomat of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, as well as an inventor, entrepreneur, philanthropist and humane advocate. As a child, Dr. Michelson was always coloring outside the lines, infinitely curious about how things worked, and uncommonly sensitive to the needs of others. Raised by his mother and grandmother in Philadelphia, he was exposed to spinal disorders at a young age—his grandmother suffered from Syringomyelia, a debilitating spinal deformity. The disruption of the nervous system caused by this disease allowed his grandmother’s hand, resting on a hot stove, to catch fire without her noticing. Witnessing this was a pivotal event in Dr. Michelson’s young life, where he began formulating a plan to help people afflicted with similar infirmities.Despite his modest upbringing, Dr. Michelson worked his way through Temple University and medical school at Drexel University, and following a successful surgical fellowship at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Houston, entered private practice in California as an orthopedic surgeon specializing in spinal surgery. Over the next 25 years, he became world-renowned as a surgical innovator and the most prolific inventor in medical history, with over 990 patents worldwide issued to date.In the field of spinal surgery, where outcomes were unpredictable and recovery could be long and painful, Dr. Michelson’s revolutionary advancements in procedures, instruments and implants consistently led to better patient outcomes, and significantly reduced post-surgical pain, blood loss, complications and recovery time. The surgical techniques and materials developed by Dr. Michelson remain the industry standard around the world.In 2005, after selling his patents to Medtronic, the world’s largest medical device company, those proceeds, together with the resolution of related intellectual property litigation, earned Dr. Michelson a place on the Forbes 400 as a self-made billionaire. The litigation, which established new precedents in the field of patent law, later became a stimulus for Dr. Michelson to create a comprehensive textbook on the subject (The Intangible Advantage: Understanding Intellectual Property in the New Economy), which he released digitally free of charge. Later, he developed an undergraduate college course, The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Intellectual Property, which has been adopted by many colleges and universities throughout the country. This inspired Dr. Michelson to create the Michelson 20MM Foundation (formerly, Twenty Million Minds Foundation), funding the dissemination of free, peer-reviewed, openly-licensed digital textbooks for essential college general education courses. These textbooks, now in use in half of all U.S. colleges and universities, and more than 70 countries, have already saved students hundreds of millions of dollars. Among its related initiatives, 20MM also provides digital textbooks for the remedial education of individuals serving time in prison.After retiring from private practice, Dr. Michelson’s passion pivoted exclusively to philanthropy, advancing his philosophy that sharing knowledge and supporting the research of others can change the world. That same year, he made an introductory donation of $100 million to his private Michelson Medical Research Foundation (which does not accept outside donations). Among the Foundation’s other activities, the Michelson Neglected Disease Vaccine Initiative supports research for obscure and lesser-known diseases that are deemed too esoteric for conventional funding, but nonetheless affect billions of people, particularly in poorer countries throughout the world. As a medical student, Dr. Michelson was nearly expelled over his objection to removing healthy organs from living dogs in a surgical lab. His lifelong passion for animals led to a new philanthropic endeavor, the Found Animals Foundation. This Los Angeles-based animal welfare organization provides grants for the rescue and placement of shelter animals, operates adopt-and-shop centers for homeless pets, provides free microchips, subsidizes stationary and mobile low and no-cost spay/neuter clinics, and funds the $25 million Michelson Grant for the development of non-surgical sterilization for cats and dogs. Through its various programs and services, Found Animals Foundation has assisted over 1.5 million companion animals over the past 14 years.In 2014, Dr. Michelson and his wife Alya personally gifted $50 million to the University of Southern California to fund the creation of the USC Michelson Center for Convergent Bioscience, bringing together the best and brightest of scientists, researchers and engineers from around the world to work collaboratively on solutions to the most pressing public health issues of our time. This unique interdisciplinary research site aspires to become a model for other prominent research universities, bringing the world closer to the medical breakthroughs that will define the 21st century.Among his many awards, citations and accomplishments, Dr. Michelson is one of a handful of individuals to ever be inducted into both the National Inventors Hall of Fame and the National Academy of Inventors. In 2006, he was recognized as the world’s leading scientist of spinal research by the Paralyzed Veterans of America. Among a group of prominent inventors who supported the America Invents Act of 2011, Dr. Michelson was invited to the White House by President Obama to witness the signing of that historic legislation. In 2015, he was awarded both the Albert B. Sabin Humanitarian Award for his contributions toward neglected disease vaccine research, and the Distinguished Achievement Award from B’nai B’rith International for his leadership, philanthropy and humanitarian endeavors. He also received the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters (alongside Will Ferrel and Dame Helen Mirren), at USC’s 134th Commencement Ceremony for the Class of 2017.Dr. Michelson lives in California with his wife Alya, their three children, and their two rescued dogs. They are active members of the Giving Pledge, a campaign founded by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, that encourages the wealthiest individuals and couples to contribute the majority of their fortune to philanthropic causes.1-2 Topics Talking Points * conversation topics you want us to discuss that are important to you.:Topics: Philanthropy and the Michelson Foundations (all three are self-funded by Gary):-Michelson Medical Foundation-20MM Foundation-Found Animals FoundationSample questions-could you give us some specific examples of what each of the foundations do, and how it might directly affect our lives?-your 20MM Foundation funds high quality, interactive, open license, freely downloadable and printable, textbooks to support higher education, and in particular the college space.

Craig Hall is an entrepreneur, New York Times bestselling author, vintner and philanthropist. He formed HALL Group in 1968 at age 18 with $4,000 saved from small ventures that began at age 10. Today, HALL Group’s diversified business interests include active operations in commercial real estate ownership, development and management, structured financial lending, winemaking and early- stage investments in promising startups. Now, a self-made billionaire and author -Boom: Bridging the Opportunity Gap to Reignite Startupswww.reignitestartups.comHall actively supports new entrepreneurs, nurtures young startups and often speaks publicly about the importance of encouraging entrepreneurship worldwide. Together with his wife Kathryn Hall, he funded the Fulbright – Kathryn and Craig Hall Distinguished Chair for Entrepreneurship to teach entrepreneurship in Eastern Europe. Hall also founded the Dallas Regional Office of NFTE (Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship). He is the author of seven published books, including his most recent, BOOM: Bridging the Opportunity Gap to Reignite Startups, which was published on May 14, 2019. Hall has made it a lifelong mission to put people first – those in the community, those whom he employs, and those whom his business affects. Hall strongly believes that entrepreneurship is a catalyst that makes a difference both today and in the future, and intends to leave the world better than he found it. This is a philosophy he has been putting into action for 50 years, both in business and through his family foundation, established in 1977. Hall and his companies are often recognized for significant achievements and civic and charitable contributions. In 2006, Hall received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Mortgage Bankers Association. In 2007, Hall was named a lifetime member of the prestigious Horatio Alger Association for Distinguished Americans and was inducted into the North Texas Commercial Real Estate Hall of Fame and the Entrepreneurs Foundation of North Texas’ Ring of Honor. He was named the 2013 Dallas Real Estate Executive of the Year and in 2016 he was inducted into the Junior Achievement of Dallas Business Hall of Fame. In 2017, Hall and his wife Kathryn were co-awarded the 2017 “Master Entrepreneur of the Year” award for the Southwest Region from the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year program. In 2019, Hall was received the Pioneer Award from D CEO magazine for his contribution to the Dallas real estate community, and in the same year he also was recognized with the Business Council for the Arts Obelisk Award for his partnership with and service to the arts community. Hall has served on the Board of Trustees of the American University in Bulgaria, the American-Austrian Fulbright Board and the Board of the Horatio Alger Association for Distinguished Americans. From the perspective of a seasoned entrepreneur with experience in diverse industries—from software, to real estate, to winemaking—Hall provides his expert evaluation on the challenges facing entrepreneurs today. After careful analysis defining the current environment for startups, Hall optimistically concludes with specific strategies for go-getters to successfully bridge the opportunity gap. We can, and must, reverse these trends in order to level the playing field for entrepreneurs to safeguard the future of the American Dream. * Declining entrepreneurship: What does it mean for the future of work and our economy and how can we solve this crisis? 
* The Millennial problem: What challenges does this generation face and how can we lift the burden for millennials so that they pursue startups? 
* Women and minority-led startups: How can we provide more opportunity for women and minority-led startups and increase their visibility? 
* Democratizing entrepreneurship: What is the role of policymakers in the future of work and how can we begin to inspire change on a local and national level? 
* Corporate Darwinism: How are technology and AI influencing the future and why Main Street— and even Big Box—survival depends on flexibility, risk and innovation? 
Hope and opportunity are the currency of a growing middle class and the foundation of the American dream. Entrepreneurship can help cultivate this. And yet, as our economy and society have drifted into a greater divide between haves and have nots, we have seen our middle class shrink. We have seen our politics become divisive as we look for easy answers and all go to our own corners and reinforce our own views. 
The truth is, there is no silver bullet that will eliminate America’s income divide and its implications. But a broader base of entrepreneurs and an increase in opportunities for people of all ethnicities, races and genders to become entrepreneurs and start businesses would be a huge step in the right direction.

Raymond D. “Ray” Zinn is an inventor, entrepreneur, investor, angel, bestselling author and the longest serving CEO of a publicly traded company in Silicon Valley. He is also the founder of a nationally launched ZinnStarter program at colleges around the country, providing the financial and mentoring support for students to launch new products and companies. In 2015, Ray published his first book, Tough Things First, with McGraw Hill. The book covers Zinn’s analysis of his nearly 40 years at the helm of Micrel, a Silicon Valley institution along with the critical factors that entrepreneurs and seasoned executives alike need to know, including the intricacies of nurturing corporate culture, how to make every employee (and every human) feel valued, the impact and limitations of policies and procedures, and how to manage growth. Zinn is also known for conceptualizing and in effect inventing the Wafer Stepper, and for cofounding semiconductor company Micrel (acquired by Microchip in 2015), which provides essential components for smartphones, consumer electronics and enterprise networks. He served as Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of its Board of Directors and President since the Company’s inception in 1978. Zinn led Micrel profitably through eight major downturns in global chip markets, an impressive achievement. Many chip companies weren’t able to make it through one downturn and very few have survived through all the major downturns. Micrel has been profitable from its very first year, aside from one year during the dot-com implosion. Ray Zinn holds over 20 patents for semiconductor design. He has been mentioned in several books, including Jim Fixx’s The Complete Book of Running and Essentialism by Greg McKeown.

Umberto Luchini is the founder and proprietor of Wolf Spirit LLC, a company which develops and owns spirit brands – such as Blood x Sweat x Teams Vodka of Eugene, OR -- as well as imports and markets others, such as Tom of Finland Organic Vodka from Finland. Umberto was born in Milan, Italy into a small, tight-knit family. He attended school in London, worked in France, became jobless after 9/11, and took a low-paying job with a great brand:  Campari (Monaco). Umberto rose through the marketing ranks, ultimately moving to San Francisco in 2004, where he resides today as an American citizen. Umberto remained with Campari America for 17 years, during which time he formed an award-winning team of 30 marketers, and developed Espolòn tequila (which is often compared to Tito’s Vodka because of its explosive growth). In 2017, Umberto founded Wolf Spirit; by the end of 2018 the distillery was built and their first product had been designed, packaged, and created; and sales began in 2019. Already the vodkas are available in 23 states, with 17 more slated to be onboard by the end of the year: this is an astonishing rate of growth, which usually requires 5 years rather than 12 months. Umberto is happier than ever and working harder than ever to grow his own company and brands, as he did in the past for many others. In his spare time, he enjoys high-endurance sports (triathlons, ultra-marathons, etc.) and traveling. Website to link to: https://www.wolfspiritdistillery.com/ * https://www.bstvodka.com/ * https://www.tomoffinlandvodka.com/The Positive Phil Podcast Show, a podcast, available on iTunes, Spotify, iHeartRadio, where Positive Phil talks about personal stories, events and engaging interviews; with famous people, celebrities, athletes, authors, spiritual educators, thought leaders, as well as others in the social, business and entertainment industry.Airing on over 300 digital channels, including iHeart Radio, Spotify, StitcherFm, Google Podcast and published online via RSS feeds globally. The show has been around for almost 4 years and is one of the most popular podcast shows on the internet in the business-motivation space.Professional radio, tv, podcast host and producer from San Diego California.  We have a large national following on digital media channels, with our popular podcast and network of shows.

Trouble no one about their religion;respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life.Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people.Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend,even a stranger, when in a lonely place.Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living.If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weepand pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.”― Chief TecumsehPositive Phil Podcast is a daily podcast hosted by Positive Phil.

Today, with his high school friend Luke Pickering, he runs one of the nation’s largest hemp farms specializing in seed genetics, planting, harvesting, wholesaling and retailing cannabis for CBD with emphasis on safety and purity. Hemp Depot was one of the first 13 producers to be certified by the U.S. Hemp Authority, an organization formed in 2018 to self-regulate the industry with standards to ensure the quality and safety of CBD products.Looking out over the hundreds of acres of Hemp Depot’s cannabis farm, it’s hard to imagine Andy experiences an allergic reaction to marijuana-producing cannabis, which looks similar but is genetically different to CBD producing hemp. It’s this sensitivity that makes him place such a strong emphasis on frequent testing and quality control.Andy worked his way through college as district manager for a cell phone company, and upon graduating helped turn around a struggling car dealership as the company’s general manager. Realizing the potential of Colorado’s then-fledgling marijuana industry, he maxed-out one of his credit cards to establish one of Denver’s first medical cannabis dispensaries, Elevated Medical, in 2009. Despite making numerous mistakes, including falling victim to an armed robbery and Colorado’s changing zone regulations, the dispensary was a financial success and established him as a veteran in the cannabis industry. He went on to create an online cannabis social network called WeedLife in 2014 providing educational information and connecting consumers, businesses, marketers, and writers who cover the industry. Overnight, it grew to tens of thousands of users and has continued to grow since then.A sought-after source on cannabis and CBD, Andy has been interviewed by national media such as CNBC and invited to speak at industry conferences. He is a member of the Hemp Industries Association and the National Hemp Association. Luke Pickering / Co-Founder / Hemp DepotFascinated with cannabis since high school, Luke Pickering has always had a green thumb and knack for getting the most out of plants no matter how tight the space. It’s a talent he honed when he and his high school friend Andy Rodosevich joined forces to co-found Hemp Depot and quickly took it from six acres to over 1,300 acres to become one of the nation’s largest producers of hemp CBD from seed to harvest, wholesale and retail. Hemp Depot now is one of the first 13 producers to have met the most stringent quality and safety standards in hemp farming and processing and become certified by the U.S. Hemp Authority.Luke is renowned for his expertise in seed genetics and capability to perfect the process of growing the most potent and pure hemp CBD in the world, maximizing acreage and proven with third-party testing. His interest in seed genetics was sparked by a void in the seed market and a desire to grow a unique strain. He is driven to produce seeds with the highest quality structure, cannabinoid content and compliance. He works to create seeds that produce the highest yield per acre and highest possible amount of CBD per plant. Luke’s expertise has led Hemp Depot to produce seeds with the highest CBD genetic and become the industry leader with the highest seed inventory in the U.S. A member of the Hemp Industries Association and the National Hemp Association, Luke is a sought-after news media source on seed genetics, CBD purity, quality and safety.www.hempdepotco.com
