After discovering the once beautiful Lake Atitlan of Guatemala that Francesca was baptized in and where her grandparents lived overrun with blue green algae in 2010 and a new generation of children collecting the contaminated water, Francesca turned what NASA deemed one of the worst natural disasters to occur on the planet (as you could see the contamination from space) into action. Francesca launched her fashion company Ix Style that sells huaraches sandals and bags made by Mayan artisans near Lake Atitlan. Ix is the Mayan word for water. For every purchase, Ix donates to provide clean drinking water to children in Guatemala where Francesca's family is originally from. Francesca was a contestant and winner on Project Runway: Fashion Startup. As a result of the show, Rebecca Minkoff is an investor in Ix Style.

Nothing gives my professional life more meaning than planting awesome ideas in people's minds! Sometimes, I do it through best-selling books such as The Age of Anomaly (Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller), sometimes I do it through my One Minute Economics YouTube channel. I'm an "outside the box" economic thinker who puts a more than decent balance between street smarts and book smarts on the table. Since I'm also an entrepreneur and an investor who specializes in exotic assets such as cryptocurrencies and domain names, I've always had skin in the game and that's never going to change. You can always find me in the eye of the storm, walking the walk. I specialize in: 1) Anything economics-related, from strategic "big picture" economic thinking (the next financial crisis and its implications, for example) to personal finance and wealth management 2) Anything entrepreneurship-related, since I'm also a serial entrepreneur who has launched hosting businesses, development businesses, an escrow service, an online auction platform, a digital asset brokerage business, etc. 3) Anything investing-related, I'm especially passionate about exotic assets such as cryptocurrencies and domain names. Once again, think of me as your go-to guy for "outside the box" thinking 4) Anything Internet marketing related, from building highly respected brands like the One Minute Economics YouTube channel to publishing best-selling books or promoting online businesses, I've pretty much done it all!

One of the hardest obstacles I’ve ever had endure was transitioning from two feet to two wheels. Throughout my journey, I’ve learned what good is my story if it can’t help someone else? That’s why I genuinely enjoy sharing my story with others. I was a collegiate wheelchair basketball player, and I'm a current member of the USA Paralympic Team. A 2016 Rio Paralympic Gold Medalist, and an advocate for disability awareness and adapted sports. I currently have my eyes set for the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games. I'm a plant based athlete that has first hand experience with the health benefits of a plant based diet. Managing a chronic illness for over a decade, I've learned that there is no medication like a plant based diet.

Over ten years ago my life changed in one night. The date was August 25, 2007 when I received a harrowing phone call that my twenty-two year old daughter had been strangled and nearly killed for the second time by her boyfriend while their six month old baby girl named Promise lay on the bed beside her. I was devastated. After I got my daughter and Promise to safety, I wrote a letter to the only person in the world I thought at that time could help me … that letter started with Dear Oprah. What I know now, that I had no idea then was this: 1. life doesn’t happen to you; it happens for you; and 2. though Oprah never responded to my letter, I will be forever grateful to her because by not responding Oprah gave me a gift—the courage to find my own voice. But finding my voice wasn’t easy. It would take some wise words from three-year old Promise when I called her late one evening drowning in my tears. Just close your eyes real tight and just don’t look at the monsters, she had said to me. I had no idea that I was about to face some of my most terrifying monsters—Fear, Worry, Doubt, Regret, Grief ... And if that wasn’t bad enough, I had liquidated my retirement and savings, got audited by the IRS, filed bankruptcy, borrowed money from friends and family, became a victim of identity theft and would soon be diagnosed with life threatening health issues that attacked every part of my body (my brain, my heart, my immune system) brought on by years of chronic stress. The story that inspired my memoir: Don’t Look at the Monster and an innovative empowerment initiative: The Monster Theory—a mixed media platform to help audiences realize their full potential in the face of adversity and rise above life’s monsters. With courage, determination, and self-introspection, I employ my authentic voice and storytelling gifts to empower like-minded communities dedicated to personal growth and development to confront and overcome their monsters and embrace their passion, purpose, and power! When your audience experience The Monster Theory, they will learn to: 1) Confront their monsters 2) Overcome adversity 3) Get unstuck 4) Create a new story 5) Rise up 6) Take back their power! I customize my presentations to ensure that I bring not just a talk, but an experience! I promise you it will be infectious, energetic and engaging -- a moving and transformative experience that will make every person in the audience want to laugh, cry, scream and kick some monster's a** :) MORE ABOUT L.Y. L.Y. is also the founder, CEO and visionary behind Saving Promise, a national nonprofit inspired by her family story, and a dedicated and sought-after media talent, lecturer and spokeswoman for domestic violence prevention and women empowerment.
