In this episode of Next Level Healing, Dr. Tara Perry sits down with New York Times bestselling author, CPA, entrepreneur, and financial literacy advocate Sharon Lechter, co-author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and long-time partner of both the Rich Dad Company and the Napoleon Hill Foundation. Sharon's Origin Story: Money at the Dinner TableSharon grew up lower middle class in a family of entrepreneurs, living between her father's used car lot and her mother's beauty shop, and helping manage rental properties from the age of 10. [4:50] [5:00]Her family also owned orange groves; her father taught her that the oranges were cashflow while the land itself would grow in value—land that later became part of SeaWorld in Orlando. [5:10]Money, assets, and investing were regular dinner-table topics, shaping her understanding of wealth early on. [5:10] [5:24]She became the first in her family to attend college, was the only woman in her accounting classes, and one of the first women in public accounting in the late 1970s, where she learned how companies succeed and fail. [5:24] [5:51]From Talking Books to Rich Dad Poor DadSharon helped build a global company around the first talking children's books with sound strips, licensing with Disney, Warner Brothers, Sesame Street, and Marvel Comics to get kids excited about reading. [6:17] [6:35]After selling that company and moving to Arizona, her oldest son went to college, was lured into credit card offers with “free pizza” and “free t-shirts,” and ended up in serious debt—an experience that took him seven years to repair and ignited Sharon's lifelong commitment to financial literacy. [6:50] [7:12] [7:36]In December 1992, she dedicated the rest of her career to financial education, initially working with school systems. [7:56]Meeting Robert Kiyosaki & Building a Global BrandSharon's husband, an intellectual property attorney, introduced her to Robert Kiyosaki, who had created the board game CASHFLOW. [8:11] [8:33]At the first beta test, Sharon was the only player to get out of the “rat race,” and she loved how the game aligned with her teachings on investing, assets, and the difference between active and passive income. [8:33] [8:46]Drawing on her experience commercializing products, she helped Robert bring the game to market. When he wanted to price it at $200 in 1996, she suggested writing a brochure to explain his philosophy and justify the investment. [9:09] [9:21]That “brochure” became Rich Dad Poor Dad, which they co-wrote and never expected to become a standalone phenomenon; their company was originally branded Cashflow Technologies. [9:38] [9:54]Over a 10-year partnership, Sharon served as CEO, co-authored 15 books, created multiple games and infomercial products, and launched the Rich Dad Advisors series, helping build what became the world's largest personal finance brand in 110 countries and 51 languages. [9:54] [10:09] [10:28]Leaving Rich Dad & New Doors OpeningAfter a decade, Robert wanted to move into franchising, which Sharon felt was not a good model for franchisees; she chose to leave, emphasizing that sometimes you must close one door for others to open. [10:28] [10:41]Shortly after, she was appointed by President George W. Bush to the first President's Advisory Council on Financial Literacy, later serving under President Obama as well—an opportunity she believes she would not have had if she'd stayed at Rich Dad. [1:29] [10:52] [11:08]In March 2008, the Napoleon Hill Foundation invited her to help reinvigorate Hill's teachings, leading her into the world's largest personal development brand. [11:08]

Quick San Diego update with a full rundown of what's happening around North County right now. We kick things off with a weekend recap - local baseball games, a SeaWorld trip, and Chris finding some new hiking trails around La Costa Oaks and the Preserve with some solid views looking out toward the lagoon and Carlsbad.From there we get into the San Diego sports scene. The Sockers are in the MASL finals, the Gulls and Seals are both in playoff runs, and San Diego FC is hitting a rough stretch but still in the mix. The Padres, on the other hand, are starting to heat up despite a few bats still trying to figure it out.We also cover some local updates including a new pasta spot in Encinitas, an upcoming Food and Wine event at the Zoo, and the latest with Stone Brewing being sold again. To wrap it up, we get into the story behind Oceanside's Roberts Cottages and how they went from 1920s auto courts to some of the earliest condo-style ownership in the area.

If you're someone like me who is chronically online, you've likely seen the videos from "Zooder Loopers" come across your TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube feeds. Whether he's riding in an Arie Force One-inspired bicycle build on a Red Bull-built track or arriving at Walt Disney World hours before opening in order to be the first person into the park, his content is a fresh take on a lot of traditional theme park video creation. We chat with Zooder - real name Bryan - about all things content creation - some of our favorite videos of his, how he finds himself in certain situations - be it creating a "used car"-style ad for the Fast & The Furious Hollywood Drift train at the IAAPA Expo or on-stage with Flo Rida at SeaWorld.

Recently, the zoological community said goodbye to a few remarkable and long lived animals, Katina, Seaworld's iconic killer whale matriarch and Slowpoke, a 50-year-old Pacific walrus. Both animals had an impressive lifespan educating and inspiring millions of visitors, as well as, teaching generations of animal caregivers. Katina was not only the queen of Shamu stadium, she was a highly successful mother of eight calves across her 50+ years. Chuck Tompkins was one of the first trainers to know and develop a strong relationship with Katina before moving up the corporate ladder and handing her day to day training and care to the next generation of trainers including Killing Keiko author, Mark Simmons. Both discuss these unique animals who left an indelible mark on so many. Animal Care Software
It's the fourth and final chapter of the Orlando Quadrilogy, and Mike and EB close out the trip the way nobody expected — with a surprise day at Epcot and Magic Kingdom, courtesy of friends of the show. Guardians of the Galaxy finally gets crossed off the list. Mission Space straps everyone into a centrifuge and dares them to lift their arms against the G-forces. The Geo 82 Lounge at the top of Spaceship Earth turns out to be one of the best surprises of the entire trip. Space 220 shoots everyone 220 miles above the Earth for lunch. And then it's off to Magic Kingdom, where Tron delivers everything the outside queue promises it won't and Space Mountain delivers everything it shouldn't. Oh, and somewhere in the middle of all of this, Mike gets mixed up in a REALLY WEIRD situation in the single rider line at Test Track. Also this week: Sesame Workshop is suing SeaWorld's parent company for unpaid royalties and brand damage — a lawsuit that could end a 45-year partnership. Six Flags Over Georgia posted possibly the strangest ride closure sign in theme park history. Bluey is taking over the world, one rollercoaster and one animal kingdom at a time. And the Raging Cajun Wild Mouse was spotted on a truck heading up Route 295 toward New Jersey. Called it.
En este episodio, nos adentramos en la psicología de los depredadores que cruzaron la línea. Exploramos las tragedias de Tilikum en SeaWorld, la impactante cacería selectiva de la tigresa Tatiana en el Zoo de San Francisco y la oscura historia de la ejecución de la elefanta Topsy (y la verdad sobre la participación de Thomas Edison). Hablamos de etología, trauma animal, y el error humano de tratar a bestias salvajes como mascotas. Además, analizamos el caso histórico del Leopardo de Panar, responsable de 400 víctimas. ¿Son estos animales "asesinos" o simplemente el espejo de nuestra propia negligencia?
