Speaker Sessions
The Meat and Potatoes of Growing Wealth LIVE!
Even if you are a vegetarian, the speaker sessions at Growing Wealth
LIVE! will both educate and inspire you.
Growing Wealth LIVE! is exactly what its name implies. It is Growing Wealth,
the magazine, in three dimensions. It is the real-life version of the magazine.
Instead of reading articles, you will attend speaker sessions. Instead of checking
out advertisers, you will meet them face-to-face in the exhibit hall. But the speaker
sessions are where you will get the information you need to take your business or
your investments to the next level.
Below is an initial list of the speakers who will share their wisdom at
Growing Wealth Live! You’ll recognize many of the names from what
you’ve read in the magazine. But don’t think this is a comprehensive list. There
are many more speakers and sessions that will be added to this list as time passes,
so be sure to check the list frequently to find out if the sessions that will change
your life have been added.
We know that as the listing of sessions grows, you will become more excited about
your trip to San Francisco in May and the difference it will make in your businesses
or investments.

Frank Miles (Keynote Speaker)
A variety comedian with numerous Las Vegas and television credits, Frank Miles was
pronounced dead following a hang gliding accident. After being revived by emergency

life. Using comic monologues, juggling, music and magic, Miles employs his performance
skills to demonstrate the lessons he learned about beating fear. He creates hilarious
visual metaphors to illustrate that simple truths shatter self-imposed limits, and
he demonstrates ways to confront issues of change and stress. Frank Miles’ keynote
presentation, "Laugh at Fear," has been honored with standing ovations from crowds
as large as 14,000. At 18, he won the first Best Street Entertainer competition
in San Francisco. Miles has appeared on
