When Disaster Strikes, Every Second Matters…    

As a young maritime professional in the 1980s, Robert Ray was always on the lookout for opportunity—he had a wife and two young children to provide for, and he was determined to keep climbing the ladder to financial stability and success.     

When he was offered a chief engineer position on the tug boat Eagle, which would cross the Gulf of Alaska, he jumped at the chance. Not only did it pay well, it was safer than working with fishing boats. “Tug boats don’t sink,” he confidently assured his bride.     

But destiny had an appointment with the Eagle, resulting in a horrifying tragedy with Ray as the lone survivor. This heartfelt memoir immerses the reader in the world of the Eagle and its crew, and takes you moment by moment through the ordeal that Ray survived due to incredibly quick thinking and the heroic efforts of the Coast Guard. Compelling, heartbreaking, and deeply honest, this story of endurance and courage in unthinkable circumstances will stay with you long after you turn the final page.

Join me, Corine La Font, Host of Between The Lines with Burton Hughes.

Burton Hughes grew up tired of hearing the words, “That’s not for you,” that were so often uttered when he sought to escape his impoverished upbringing. He was a child who had endured so much that he had very little hope of getting out of his tragic and tumultuous environment. And the statistics were grim.

Witnessing the near murder of his mother, only to be thrust into unfathomable grief when he lost his older and revered brother – “stole his air.” But the inner mettle and strength in Burton wouldn’t die. He knew at a young age that he had a quality he couldn’t yet identify residing in him. It was hope, and the relentless and deep knowledge that more was out there also gave him the push he needed to escape his old life and reinforce that he would finally decide what was for him or not. Coupled with a never-say-die work ethic, fierce intellect, and literal model good looks, Burton wasn’t comfortable with his gifts.

Then one horrific day, he almost lost it all. His life hung in the balance. The lowest point of his life taught him how much he had to live for: that he was called to have more in life and that people were out there waiting for him to lift them up to find their own liberation and success.

Fueled by his discovery of the Six Assets of Alignment, Burton dismantled the logic of the work-life balance concept, instructing his clients instead in the art of aligning the six major assets of their lives most needing cultivation. The Assets of Mindset, Faith, Family, Fitness, Finances, and Network require varying levels of attention, according to the goal-plan devised. He lives by the Six Assets of Alignment every day and encourages people to follow his lead, knowing their own personal brand of success is waiting for them.

After implementing the Six Assets of Alignment into his life, he empowered himself to establish various businesses, modeled for multiple media outlets, and coached clients in reaching their elite life goals. He continues to strive for greatness every day.

With interpretation of what this means for you today!    Courtney paints a clear picture of how to claim your “specialness,” for yourself and the good of mankind.

Join me, your Host, Corine La Font of Between The Lines with Rodney Mc Bride, Australian psychologist of 30 years when we discuss this relevant topic.  

Approximately 10% of the world’s population ‘suffer’ from the gift of dyslexia however most of society label dyslexia a learning disorder. By concentrating on “fixing” the problem, it can make it difficult for this 10% of the population the chance to express their natural-born talents and gifts.  

FMRI studies show a non-dyslexic person utilizes the brain’s left-hemisphere more. This is a gift in its own right: logical, sequential, and great for literary skills, such as writing, reading, and spelling. Dyslexic people, who tend to use the right hemisphere more, are often bright, highly intelligent, and articulate but are simply unable to read, write, or spell at the level expected of them. The written word has been with us for only a short time in our long human evolution, before the advent of writing there would have been no such thing as a “dyslexic person”.
