Paul leads the Og Mandino Leadership Institute, now known as Habit Finder, the company his father Dave Blanchard built to carry Og Mandino’s work forward.

He works mostly with what he calls Creators: independent thinkers, entrepreneurs and leaders.

Sharon co-authored Rich Dad Poor Dad and co-founded the Rich Dad brand, which she helped lead for more than ten years.

She is a licensed CPA, has advised two U.S. presidents on financial literacy, and runs Pay Your Family First, which creates financial education for families.

Lady Jen spent decades in mortgage lending and financial services, from delegated underwriter to executive vice president, and ran her own lending team for 16 years before turning to coaching.

Dan’s speaking career started after a football injury ended his playing days at the University of Utah. Since then he has spoken in the former Soviet Union, at a United Nations congress, and to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was one of the early contributors and editors on the Chicken Soup for the Soul series and serves on the international board of governors for Operation Smile.

David has led private and public companies, invented a touch-screen patient interview system that won an international Enterprise of the Year award, and advised companies like AT&T, Hallmark and Sprint. With a background in psychotherapy, he teaches leaders how to use the problems they would rather ignore. He was also featured in the Napoleon Hill Foundation’s Three Feet from Gold.
