July 27, 2011 - Jim Houtz "All-American Entrepreneur"

He's been called an entrepreneur, venture capitalist, author, Washington watcher and CEO. Jim Houtz believes that the problems our nation and the world we face today can be solved not by government programs, but by entrepreneurs. From our reliance on foreign oil and our out-of-control healthcare costs, to our challenged education system and our faltering economy, Mr. Houtz sees American ingenuity through entrepreneurship as the answer.

Jim believes entrepreneurs will be the ones who develop the products, the services, and the innovations that will save our world, unless big government gets in the way. His mission is to stop our government from stacking the deck in favor of special interests, and instead promote free-market competition. He sees his role as one of enlightening a new breed of entrepreneurs to the Washington shenanigans that can crush their businesses.

His latest book, his third, is Grow the Entrepreneurial Dream: How to Take Your Business from Start-Up to World-Class, and is a must read for any business owner or burgeoning entrepreneur.

About Wendy Garrett:

Communicator, intuitive, artist, mystic, and host of "Conscious Living" on Empower Radio.

My world was transformed in 1997 when I awakened to an entirely new awareness of reality through a metaphysical shift. The spirit energy that collaborated with me to reveal new dimensions of being and spirit worlds with which we cohabit and co-create our reality is still with me. And that is what I bring to the table now - in each and every life experience: multidimensional awareness and metaphysical presence.

As a radio broadcaster, my experience runs the spectrum of formats including news, talk, and music. Reporter, jock, news anchor, talk host and co-host, announcer, voice talent, I back-burnered and downplayed my metaphysical life while I learned the trade, acquired new information and new skills, gained entry into the world of interviewing and met some amazing people.

Radio back-burnered when I detoured from news to finally allow my paranormal world to have center stage. Totally immersed through a dramatic series of events that triggered an entire redirect of my life, I wrote about the initial encounter in Talking to Nightlights. Truly, a new beginning, the rewards upgraded as I have continued my lessons and learning on that journey.

Writing shifted to blogging and a renewed interest in interviewing with a dedicated focus on metaphysical and spiritual topics that included spiritual awakening and shamanism, because that is my reality, and there were no radio broadcasters who talked or lived this lifestyle. I hear, see, feel, sense, smell energy beings, ghosts, angels and spirit guides and I learn more with each encounter. As a conscious co-creator, I go where I am called. One can ask better questions when they walk the talk. (To that end, I work with a paranormal group who investigates hauntings.)

We are the creators here. We are the change we seek and we are in the company of others in spirit form who add the element of wonder to the playing field. That is where magic lives. Join me for Conscious Living on Empower Radio. I feature others who may or may not add a metaphysical element but are bringing light, joy, wonder and awareness to the world in whatever creative endeavor they have chosen to pursue.

Open your mind to some extraordinary views.  Blessings and Light wherever your path calls you!
