With Stephan Spencer, an internationally recognized SEO expert, bestselling author, and sought-after keynote speaker.

Stephan shares with us the importance of paying attention to serendipity and synchronicity in our lives (and businesses), how painful lessons can be our biggest teachers, and shares examples of turning points that resulted because of major challenges. You will Stephan share about his spiritual awakening, his introduction to personal development, and some of the insights he's gained along the way which has led to all kinds of transformation in his life.
