Successful Parents

I’m a bestselling author, thought leader, common-sense practitioner, leadership trainer, coach, and content creator, and keynote speaker. I've been an Aviation Management Professional for the past 27 years, focused on operations. In September 2022, I published my first book, The Square-Peg Leader Delusion, The Art of Building and Leading Bulletproof Teams as I have a proven record of turning dysfunctional, low performing teams, into consistent and engaged high performers, without earth shattering changes. As a thought leader, I founded Meaningful Leaders, Inc., with the mission and vision of inspiring, challenging and educating (ICE) other leaders (both entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs) and to help them unlock their talents, achieve high performance and elevate their careers or businesses, while serving and developing their team. All by using techniques that are commonly not taught in business school. I received my undergraduate degree in Business Administration with majors in International Business and Business Management from Florida International university (FIU) and my MBA in Aviation with a concentration in Finance from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical university (ERAU). I’m also a certified Lean Six-Sigma Black Belt (L6σBB) and hold a Project Management Professional PMP® License. At the moment I’m creating a B2B online course under the Meaningful Leaders Academy, sort of a leadership bootcamp, to help struggling managers transform into high performance leaders without pursuing a business degree. My goal is to educate corporations into finding proven ways to engage their teams and develop and retain talent, especially in the era of the silent quitting. My offering will consist of: Tier 1 online access licenses Tier 2 Tier 1 + 10 Group Coaching Sessions Tier 3 Tier 2 + 12 one-on-one coaching sessions I’m also writing a children's book, along with my granddaughter Bella with a dual purpose: 1.- Teach kids about leadership concepts from early on so they can develop the skills early on 2.- Bring back the critical bedtime story time so we can hang out with our kids and teach them something worth learning about As a busy parent and now grandparent, making time for these invaluable moments is so critical. https://www.amazon.com/Square-Peg-Leader-Delusion-Building-Bulletproof/dp/B0BF2XCKN8 https://meaningfulleaders.com/ wandahoward.com

Alex Charfen was never meant to be the Co-founder & CEO of a multi-million dollar company. As a kid, Alex had a tough time learning, fitting in, and following other people’s rules. His entrepreneurial journey started early on by selling things at school, and he went on to run a window washing service in high school and a financial consulting firm in college. In his twenties, Alex became a Fortune 500 consultant, working with some of the most successful people in the world. In his early thirties, he met his wife, Cadey, and sold his consulting business. Unable to stay out of the entrepreneurial world, Alex and Cadey started buying and selling houses and became one of the largest real estate companies in Florida in less than a year. Following the Economic Crisis of 2007, Alex and Cadey lost everything and went bankrupt. Rising from the ashes, they built an information product called the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation. Through their designation, Alex and Cadey worked with the majority of major lenders and real estate brokerages in the United States to help our country recover from the mortgage crisis. As a result, they helped pull forward the recovery of the foreclosure crisis by five to seven years, sold over $70 million, were featured on the Inc. list of fastest-growing companies in the country three years in a row, and won many other awards. Alex went on to create the Entrepreneurial Personality Type (EPT), helping tens of thousands of entrepreneurs with six-, seven-, and eight-figure businesses to grow and scale. Today, Alex has created multiple multimillion-dollar companies, learned a lot along the way, and is teaching entrepreneurs how they can do the same. Sharing his journey with others led Alex to write for publications such as Success, Entrepreneur, and Inc. Magazine, and his story has also garnered attention from major media outlets like MSNBC, CNBC, FOX News, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, and Investor’s Business Daily. As a result of his mentorship and success, Alex is now known as the go-to person for helping entrepreneurs ascend the Billionaire Code and understand how to plan strategically. Throughout all of this, Charfen’s mission is to empower entrepreneurs to grow and scale their businesses and make their greatest contribution. 40 hour year wandahoward.com

Ryan is a self-made real estate entrepreneur who owns and operates 80 Mobile Home Parks spanning ~4,200 units. But here's the thing: He started with nothing. No money. No experience. No network. he was a 20-something with way more student loan debt than actual capital to invest in deals. He is just a normal husband and father of two wonderful kiddos. The only thing that makes him different is that he refused to quit and was willing to sacrifice and take bold action. He found creative ways to make money while he scaled his business up. He was stuck in Corporate America. He escaped. And has begun to help others too. http://www.archimedesgrp.com/podcast Get your FREE blueprint at wandahoward.com
