This incredible Author gave me his book and I read it immediately, and I couldn’t put it down- it was a fascinating mystery, along with life changing advice! This Author’s name is Corey Poirier. So on this show our TV Show Host: Margie Rey will give you a fascinating in-depth interview with Corey, that will give you some amazing advice that can change your life!
So last year I read Corey Poirier’s book: “The Enlightened Passenger” – and it was a fascinating and uplifting book, and is a compelling narrative blending self-help wisdom with the art of storytelling, with 10 life lessons that can and will change your life:
Robert Stapleton, the passenger in 9C, is the epitome of North American success. He owns the luxury car, wears the coveted watch, and talks the talk. Yet beneath this confident exterior is a man in search of something more – even if he doesn’t know it yet. Enter Trebor (Treb), an unexpected companion who ends up seated next to him. Treb embodies everything Robert lacks: a life brimming with meaning, joy, and fulfillment. With a loving wife, Gina, and a history of traveling the world to make a positive impact, Treb is Robert’s opposite. This fateful flight unfolds as Treb shares 10 transformative life lessons with Robert, gleaned from the author’s 7000+ interviews with the world’s most inspiring leaders. These teachings challenge Robert to confront his own life, sparking a journey of personal growth and awakening.
The Enlightened Passenger offers a roadmap to personal improvement, greater consciousness, and a deeper understanding of success and abundance for self-help enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and fans of insightful parables akin to The Alchemist and The Celestine Prophecy. It’s a story that resonates with anyone seeking to discover their purpose, create a lasting legacy, and transform their understanding of what it means to truly succeed in life.

Los Angeles County and Southern California are living through extreme emergency, with devastating fires, which made so far dozens of thousands of victims, with hundreds of buildings destroyed, loss of lives and loss of pets.
