About the Author

He is a founding partner in four companies that serve multi-generational affluent families and self-made business owners, and he teaches the trusted advisors to both. Their life’s work centers on Three Systems of Family Thriving: family wealth, family relationships and family business relationships, and family advisory relationships. They focus on four key capabilities: tax masterminding, business succession, cleaning up messes in families’ existing planning, and Family Synergy Work.

Over 25 years in business, he and his teams have counseled more than 750 eight- and nine-figure net worth families, and thousands of others. This experiential sample size renders the insights and perspectives shared in this book.

Tour Wrap Up: From Behind the Clipboard - Lessons From a Wedding Planner by Shari Zatman

 



From Behind The Clipboard  

 

Biographical / Self-Help / Wedding Planning


One of the most interesting and rewarding aspects of being an event planner is the personal relationships I develop with clients with whom I work. For a period of time, I get to be an integral part of their lives as we plan together to create a lifecycle event that will be long remembered. During this process with them, I am often navigating a range of emotion, family and relationship dynamics, decision paralysis and more. Not only am I a wedding planner and designer, but I often feel that I am a coach, mentor and therapist as well.

This book dives deeper than being only a “how to” guide by also including psychological and professional perspective pertaining to the wedding planning process.  It helps address decision making, external influences, financial pressure, stress management, relationship preservation and so much more. I share my advice and pro tips and open up about personal experiences including stories that reflect on what I have learned and the wisdom I can impart to others based upon what I have done successfully in planning and experiences that may not have gone as I had hoped, but became a great lesson for what not to do. I want everyone who is planning a wedding to know that it is absolutely ok for their wedding to be “perfectly imperfect.”

Tour Wrap Up: To Eternity and Back by R.A. Varghese




Nonfiction

Date Published: June 24, 2025

Publisher: BlackBox


The Multiverse comprises different realms of reality as apparent in its map.


The first realm is made up of different kinds of substances with specific powers. These range from the world of pure matter (quantum fields) to various embodied forms of life, consciousness and rational thought (microbial, botanical, mammalian, et al.) to the world of pure spirit (angelic).


The second realm encompasses the agents who "operate" the substances. These range from unicellular microbes to plants to animals to human beings to angels.


Then there is the realm of purpose, beauty, the virtues, right and wrong, good and evil.


Finally, we have the worlds that will never end: Plenitude on the one side, Heaven; and Void on the other, Hell.


Our journey through the Multiverse begins with the Mission Control Center.


Here we find the Source of all that exists, we discover that Its Life has no beginning or end and, finally, that It is Tri-personal, Three Centers in One infinite Mind and Will.


Next, we explore the Metaverse of Mind, the cosmos in which we live with its five domains of mind.


Underlying the Metaverse is the MindField, infinite-eternal Mind.


We then move to the world of Homo sapiens, the highest form of mind in the physical world.


From there we go to the realm of pure minds, the world of good and evil spirits/angels.


Next up is the religious history of humanity that culminates in the Incarnation of Infinity and the descent of the divine Spirit.


The Incarnation bestowed on Homo sapiens the God Gene, the Life of God.


Those who live with the divine Life offered to them enter into eternal ecstasy; those who reject it suffer the endless agony of separation.


Finally, you will meet your Secret Lover.
