Business Machine Brian Town

Author of the book “Personality Marketing: Join Your Industry’s A-List by Embracing Your Inner Nerd” and the upcoming book, “The Crisis of the Ordinary: What to Do If You Secretly Wish for More Than What You’ve Got,” Brittany has a passion for helping people remember how to DREAM BIG (and then giving them the strategic marketing steps to turn those big dreams into realities.
Mother of 4 and self-professed musical theatre and personal development nerd, she spends her days mashing her clients’ “inner potatoes” until they’re magically delicious.
Mission: Brittany wants to make sure that people know to figure out what you want as an entrepreneur, and then help them form a plan to make it possible. She then helps you learn what the market wants and how it aligns with what you want.
Mistake: Brittany struggled with remembering as a leader that this a business first, so hiring friends and family as employees sometimes made things more challenging, as it made it harder to say no to them. She also recommends to not tell your team everything that is on your mind because it may get confusing, and learn to filter your thoughts through a spouse or friend first before talking to your team.

Richard is a massive hockey fan and avid traveler having lived in such exotic locations as Siberia. Richard can be reached through his website SoCalInternetLawyer.com.
Mission: Richard is dedicated to helping businesses grow by helping them minimize the risk of doing business online. This way, they can then focus on the aspects of the business that they originally started it for.
Mistake: He wishes he hadn't waited so long to take the risk and do what he liked rather than dealing with the higher stresses of a job he didn't love for a decade. He also warns business owners against starting multiple projects at the same time before seeing if their first one will pan out.
Recommendations:Quote: "Never promise to do the possible. Anyone could do the possible. You should promise to do the impossible, because sometimes the impossible was possible, if you could find the right way, and at least you could often extend the limits of the possible. And if you failed, well, it was always impossible to start with." - Terry Pratchett

A decade ago, Josh embarked on a one-man quest to stop spending so much freaking money on groceries-- and so transformed himself into America’s coupon-crusading “Savings Angel.” With a little bit of his own PR fairy dust (thanks to his U.S. Navy journalist experience), he became an influencer with his digital consumer advocacy and lifestyle brand SavingsAngel.com which has grossed more than $6 million in sales with less than $500 spent in advertising. Yes, he literally dropped more $$ on toner for the office printer!Today he's:· A well-known influencer in the Startup PR space· The host of an iTunes chart-topping podcast· A syndicated newspaper columnist with a reach of over 1.1 million readers· A sought-after keynote & workshop speaker · Media guest clocking over 2000 TV, radio, and podcast appearances.And NOW, he takes all the PR magic tricks, ancient wisdom and special sauce recipes that got him here - and sets them all free!
Mission: Josh is passionate about turning thoughtful entrepreneurs into media celebrities, increasing their authority, their influences, and their revenue.
Mistake: When he switched from solo practitioner to having multiple leaders under him, he had to learn quickly to take a step back and let his leaders make some decisions instead of making all of the final decisions in the company without listening to them first. He also learned to attract people who could fill-in areas of expertise, and also learned from his fear of selling and overcoming the lies he believed about selling to people.

Legacy: Josh hopes to help everyone realize that they are the person that the world has been waiting for, and to help them take advantage of the resources they have to make it happen.
