Book 101 Review

Book 101 Review, in its fifth season, features Matthew Strunk a serial entrepreneur with multiple business exits and the founder of illumiShift as my guest.

Matthew Strunk Built and sold companies, yet still felt lost after doing everything “right.” Now I guide people to The Hidden Path™, freedom and purpose on their own terms. I’ve built and sold multiple companies, including a digital marketing agency and a SaaS platform, but what I discovered after those exits is what makes my story valuable for your audience: success alone doesn’t guarantee fulfillment. Like so many entrepreneurs and professionals, I did everything “right.” I built the businesses, hit the milestones, made the money: only to realize I felt stuck, bored, and disconnected. That experience taught me the dirty secret most people don’t talk about: the game of success, as the world defines it, can actually trap you. Today, I’m the founder of illumiShift, where I guide people through The Hidden Path™, a structured system to help them detox from noise, uncover their truth, and realign life on their own terms. Along the way, I share signature concepts like The Purpose Paradox (why chasing success without purpose leads to emptiness) and Fear as Fuel (how to transform fear into momentum). For your audience, this conversation isn’t just about my story, it’s about their story: - Why “having it all” often still feels empty. - How to recognize if they’re chasing society’s version of success instead of their own. - Practical tools for cutting through the noise and getting clarity on what actually matters. - How to break free from burnout, boredom, and finally start getting real traction in life.

Book 101 Review, in its fifth season, features George Sirois a Podcaster, Audiobook Narrator and Author as my guest.

George Sirois Let Author / Podcaster / Audiobook Narrator George Sirois Tell You a Story My experience as a storyteller goes back to childhood, when I recorded my first “audiobook” when I was 6, which was basically me reading a storybook to my cousin who was recovering from cancer surgery. I’m 4th grade, I started creating characters with my friends to pass the time between assignments and those characters led to the ones that are in my current young adult / science-fiction novels. After being a part of a roundtable podcast with other authors, I was inspired to start my own in 2018, and that show is still going strong today. And in 2023, I directed an audio dramatization of one of my own books, working with over 20 talented actors all around the world. Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Right Where They Belong: Sutton Series Book 1 Marcus Hunter is perfectly content living the small town life, except for the fact that he’s never been able to find the right woman to do it with. All he wants is someone who “gets” him. Who appreciates his sense of humor. Someone who can join in and keep up. Is that too much to ask? Does such a woman even exist? Enter Corinne Edwards. She may be a college educated professional, but she’s also a bit of a gypsy. With a mobile business she built from the ground up, she’s free to go where she wants–and does. Moving from city to city, she spends her free time seeing the sights and not bothering to build relationships of any kind because she doesn’t intend to stay. Imagine her surprise when she feels led to make a stop in a small town instead–and likes it! There she meets friends she didn’t know she had, a community that embraces her, and a man who, to all appearances, checks all the boxes. He’s intelligent, funny. And he gets her. Some long dormant hunger begins to awaken. Happily ever after, right? Perhaps, but with a past littered with failed attempts and a present constrained by invisible expectations, happily ever after might be easier said than done. Welcome to Sutton, the fictional small town in Ohio where the people are real and things like faith and love can blossom. Hosted on Acast.
