About the Guest:(bio, personal links, resource links)

Jim Sombelko has been an entrepreneur since age eight, and he never looked back. He's the author of the Complete Guide to Building an 8-Figure Website, a partner in a sushi restaurant, the owner of multiple software companies and the founder of a thriving digital agency that helps people start and scale their businesses to fulfill their life's purpose.

Well, on the surface, Jim had it all. Multi-million dollar businesses, financial success, the career most people can only dream of. But one day, everything changed. Jim nearly missed his son's sixth birthday because he was too busy working. Yeah, standing there singing Happy Birthday over a half-eaten cake, Jim had a gut-wrenching realization. He built external success, but at the cost of his health, his marriage, and his relationship with his kids. That moment changed everything.

Jim made a bold decision to redefine real success, not just wealth in business, but true wealth in relationships, in health, and in purpose. Now, Jim's on a mission to help others find their breakthrough to empower people to follow their heart, trust their vision, and go after their dreams, no matter how impossible they might seem. Because as Jim believes, a rising tide lifts all boats.

About the Guest:(bio, personal links, resource links)

MICHAEL McADAMS has felt a sense of destiny and purpose his entire life. A lifelong sincere seeker of truth, Michael has endeavored to reach out with an open mind to all sources available. Brought up in the Pentecostal church, Michael's uncle was a fiery Pentecostal preacher by the name of John W. Sullivan. Although Michael has always felt more spiritual than religious, communication from the highest possible source has been his goal as he enables his mind to receive information and direction that allows him to help the greatest number of people. “When the student is ready, a teacher will appear” has been a very appropriate life philosophy for Michael as his path has consistently brought him together with individuals, books, and sources of learning that have allowed continued growth and spiritual enlightenment. One of Michael’s preferred books in addition to the Bible is the Urantia Book. Michael offers a set of his own writings called Spiritual Parchment Prints available on his website spiritspeaks.com.
