He’s the author of Personal Development for Smart People, the founder of Conscious Growth Club, and a member of the Transformational Leadership Council. He has written more than 1300 articles, and they’re all uncopyrighted, so his work has been re-published and translated extensively.

Steve is probably best known for doing unusual personal growth experiments and sharing what he learns for the benefit of others. Some previous experiments include doing polyphasic sleep for five and a half months, eating 100% raw foods for six months, water fasting for 40 days with daily video updates, and going to Disneyland for 30 days in a row.

Todd Huish

Todd got bitten by the WordPress bug after attending the inaugural Las Vegas WordCamp all the way back in 2009. After attending 6 more camps that year, he decided that programming for WordPress sites, full time, was the lifestyle he’d always wanted. After spending over 20 years in Las Vegas, he recently left for the damper climes of the Pacific Northwest and spends his time cursing the sunny days and learning how to deal with nature.

Todd is most comfortable staring at a terminal, making plugins and APIs do unnatural things, and trying to ignore the front end as much as possible. No one is more shocked than he is to find out how much marketing knowledge he collected after two decades of programming with PHP.

Maximiliano Lopez

Maximiliano Lopez, known as Max, has been in making money online since Frontpage 98.  He realized he could leverage FAQs and would only have to answer them once and refer clients to the site.

He later became a Powerseller on eBay selling parts online, an online salvage yard. This gave him his passion in eCommerce and online business.  During this time he completed a Masters of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Swinburne University.

Fast forward 20 so years and Max became the founder of Lobo Digital Solutions, an Online Reputation Management Firm working with Gurus in the Real Estate industry and Politicians.
