Stanley Bronstein: How I Lost 200 Pounds, Healed Childhood Trauma & Rebuilt My Life

In this powerful and deeply reflective episode of Spiritual Infinity, Zenzi Sewaah speaks with author, attorney, accountant, and transformational thinker Stanley Bronstein from Arizona, USA. What begins as a conversation about health and weight loss quickly unfolds into a profound exploration of grief, self-discipline, healing, purpose, and the extraordinary power of human transformation. Stanley’s story begins with devastating loss. At just eight years old, his mother died, an experience that emotionally froze him in place. He recalls intuitively sensing her death before anyone told him, falling from his bicycle on the way home from school and suddenly knowing something irreversible had happened. Unable to cry or process the grief, he carried that emotional pain silently for decades. Raised thereafter by a loving but emotionally unequipped father, Stanley found comfort in food. Together, father and son coped with grief through overeating, eventually leading Stanley into severe obesity throughout his youth and adulthood. By his teenage years he was already carrying enormous emotional and physical burdens, struggling with self-worth, isolation, and the inability to form healthy relationships. Despite these challenges, Stanley excelled academically, eventually becoming both a Certified Public Accountant and an attorney. Yet beneath the professional success, the unresolved emotional wounds remained. Weight gain, unhealthy habits, emotional eating, and self-neglect continued to dominate much of his adult life. A major turning point came years later at the funeral of an aunt. There, Stanley encountered a young cousin standing emotionally numb beside the coffin — mirroring exactly how Stanley himself had felt as an eight-year-old boy at his own mother’s funeral. In that moment, something profound awakened inside him. He embraced the child, encouraged him to cry, and unknowingly began healing his own inner child at the same time. This emotional breakthrough eventually led Stanley toward deeper forgiveness, healing, and spiritual understanding. Decades later, while lying between his parents’ graves in Texas, he spoke openly to them, sharing his life story, expressing gratitude, and finally forgiving them both — including forgiving his mother for not preparing him emotionally for her death. But perhaps the greatest transformation of all began just four months before his 50th birthday. Weighing over 320 pounds, drinking heavily, consuming unhealthy food daily, and facing the terrifying reality that he might not live much longer, Stanley woke up one morning and confronted himself with brutal honesty: “If I keep living this way, where will I be in five years?” The answer was immediate: Dead. That moment became what Stanley now calls his “Re-Birthday.” From that day forward, he committed himself fully to permanent change — not temporary dieting, but total life transformation. He quit alcohol immediately. He stopped drinking soda entirely. He changed his diet step-by-step, eventually becoming fully vegan. Most importantly, he began walking every single day. What followed was extraordinary. Over the next seventeen years, Stanley lost more than 200 pounds and transformed every aspect of his life. Today, at 66 years old, he walks approximately 15 miles every day — over 40,000 steps daily — and has accumulated enough walking miles to circle the Earth nearly three times. Yet this conversation is about far more than physical health. Stanley explains that true transformation requires permanent internal change — not temporary motivation. He speaks openly about replacing destructive addictions with positive disciplines, changing one’s environment, guarding the thoughts allowed into the mind, and recognising the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit. Out of his journey emerged what he now calls The Way of Excellence — a life philosophy and personal development system built around long-term growth, self-responsibility, discipline, persistence, willingness, belief, and commitment. The system encourages individuals to stop pursuing perfection and instead strive toward continual excellence and self-improvement. One of Stanley’s most powerful insights throughout the interview is simple yet deeply transformative: “You are more powerful than you ever imagined.” This episode is not simply about weight loss.It is about reclaiming life itself. It is about recognising that healing can begin at any age, that discipline can become liberation, and that the human spirit is capable of far more than we often believe. Closing Reflection There comes a moment in many people’s lives when survival is no longer enough. A moment when the soul quietly asks:“Is this truly how I want to live?” For Stanley Bronstein, that moment arrived not through inspiration, but through confrontation. He faced himself honestly and realised that unless something changed permanently, his life would slowly disappear beneath unhealthy habits, emotional pain, and self-neglect. What makes this conversation so powerful is that Stanley does not speak from theory. He speaks from lived experience. He speaks as a child who lost his mother too early.As a man who carried silent grief for decades.As someone who hid emotional wounds beneath food, alcohol, routine, and distraction.And ultimately, as someone who chose to wake up. His story reminds us that transformation rarely happens because life becomes comfortable. It happens when we finally become honest with ourselves. Again and again throughout this episode, one truth rises to the surface: Permanent change creates permanent results. Not quick fixes.Not temporary motivation.Not short-lived resolutions. But deep internal commitment. Stanley’s journey also reveals something deeply spiritual:the body, mind, and spirit are never separate. The thoughts we repeat shape the body.The habits we practice shape the spirit.The environment we live in shapes our inner world. Healing is holistic. And perhaps most importantly, Stanley reminds us that it is never too late to begin again. At nearly fifty years old, he chose life.And in doing so, he discovered a version of himself he never knew existed. May this conversation encourage every listener who feels stuck, overwhelmed, unhealthy, discouraged, or emotionally burdened to remember: You are not finished.You are not powerless.And one decision can change the direction of an entire lifetime. — Zenzi SewaahFounder & Spiritual Visionary of Spiritual Infinity Guest Contact & Bio Stanley Bronstein is an attorney, Certified Public Accountant, author, speaker, and creator of The Way of Excellence — a transformational personal development system focused on long-term growth, discipline, balance, health, and human potential.

Mary Korn: From Being Fired to Building a Million-Dollar Mission of Hope & Purpose

In this deeply moving episode of Spiritual Infinity, Zenzi Sewaah sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, mentor, and author Mary Korn, speaking from Columbus, Ohio, to explore a life journey shaped by unimaginable hardship, resilience, spiritual awakening, and purpose-driven leadership. Mary’s story begins with generational trauma. The daughter of two Holocaust survivors, her childhood was profoundly shaped by her mother’s suffering. Her mother had been imprisoned in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp at just thirteen years old and survived years of brutality, starvation, displacement, and unimaginable loss before eventually immigrating to America as a single mother with two children and almost nothing to her name. Growing up, Mary witnessed the hidden emotional scars left by war and trauma. Her mother carried unresolved pain, grief, fear, and emotional unavailability, often reliving horrific memories through nightmares and emotional breakdowns. During periods when survival became too difficult, Mary spent parts of her childhood in orphanages, separated from family and navigating profound feelings of abandonment and instability. Yet within those difficult beginnings, seeds of resilience were planted. Mary reflects on how these experiences quietly shaped her life mission — creating opportunities for people who society often overlooks or excludes. Inspired by her mother’s courage and later influenced by the film Schindler’s List, Mary became deeply moved by the idea that meaningful work can restore dignity, identity, and hope to human beings who have been marginalized. The conversation then follows Mary’s adult life — a difficult marriage, emotional hardship, raising two children as a single mother, and eventually reaching a devastating turning point after leaving a long-term career that no longer aligned with her soul. After taking a new position that proved to be a terrible fit, she was fired after only two months, leaving her terrified, humiliated, financially unstable, and emotionally broken. It was during this dark period that Mary experienced what she describes as a divine intervention. Walking through an alley in complete despair, she prayed openly for guidance, telling God that if shown the path forward, she would dedicate her life to helping others who felt as lost as she did. In response, she heard two unexpected words internally: “Medical associations.” That moment became the catalyst for everything that followed. Mary began contacting CEOs across Ohio’s healthcare and medical association sector, asking not for employment, but for insight into how she could transfer her years of marketing and healthcare experience into a meaningful new direction. Within weeks, an opportunity emerged that allowed her to begin building her own company. What started as a small business quickly evolved into something extraordinary. Unable to find traditional workers willing to perform outbound sales work, Mary took a chance on hiring individuals with severe physical disabilities — including quadriplegics, paraplegics, blind workers, disabled veterans, cancer patients, and individuals confined to their homes. Using adaptive technology and remote systems long before remote work became mainstream, she created meaningful employment opportunities for people who had been rejected, ignored, or underestimated by society. Over the course of twenty years, Mary’s business grew from a handful of employees into a nationally recognized organisation employing more than 1,300 people across 30 states. Many employees came from economically disadvantaged backgrounds or lived with severe disabilities, yet through Mary’s leadership they found not only work, but dignity, community, purpose, and belonging. One particularly emotional moment in the conversation recounts the story of a Vietnam veteran who became quadriplegic after an accident and had not worked in nearly three decades. After joining Mary’s company, his wife wrote Mary a nine-page handwritten letter explaining that for the first time in 29 years, their family came home and listened to him talk about his day, his work, and his purpose. The interview also explores Mary’s spiritual path through Judaism and later Kabbalah, which she describes as the first spiritual system that truly resonated with her soul. Through Kabbalistic teachings, she found deeper understanding around karma, destiny, reincarnation, life purpose, and humanity’s shared spiritual mission. Today, after selling her business, Mary has entered a new chapter devoted to mentoring, speaking, workshops, podcasts, and writing her upcoming book, Fired to Inspired. The book centers on overcoming fear, discovering one’s life mission, and learning how to align work with purpose and soul. Throughout this powerful conversation, one message echoes repeatedly: Ask.Be open.Listen. And trust that even the most painful chapters of life may ultimately be guiding us toward the work we were born to do. Closing Reflection Some people build businesses.Others build healing. Mary Korn built both. What makes this conversation so moving is not simply the success story — it is the depth of humanity behind it. A child shaped by generational trauma.A daughter watching her mother carry unbearable pain.A woman navigating abandonment, emotional survival, single motherhood, fear, rejection, and uncertainty. And yet somewhere inside all of that suffering, something sacred remained alive:the ability to care for others. Mary’s story reminds us that our wounds do not disqualify us from purpose. Very often, they prepare us for it. The people she hired were not statistics or disabilities to her. They were human beings longing to feel useful, valued, included, and seen. Through meaningful work, she restored something many people lose long before income — dignity. Perhaps that is one of the deepest spiritual teachings of all:to help another person remember their worth. This episode is also a powerful reminder that divine guidance rarely arrives when life feels comfortable. Often it comes when the old identity collapses, when certainty disappears, and when we finally become willing to ask for help. Mary listened. And because she listened, thousands of lives were changed. For anyone currently standing in fear, transition, burnout, heartbreak, or uncertainty, this conversation offers a gentle but powerful truth: Your hardest chapter may not be the end of your story.It may be the doorway into your true mission. — Zenzi SewaahFounder & Spiritual Visionary of Spiritual Infinity Guest Contact & Bio Mary Korn is an entrepreneur, speaker, mentor, and social impact leader from Columbus, Ohio.

Angell Kelly on Spiritual Awakening, Burnout & Leaving Everything Behind for Greece

In this heartfelt and expansive episode of Spiritual Infinity, Zenzi Sewaah speaks with intuitive mentor, spiritual guide, and podcast host Angell Kelly, who joins the conversation from the Greek island of Naxos to share her extraordinary journey from burnout, loss of identity, and spiritual disconnection to deep surrender, intuition, and alignment with the divine. Angell opens up about her “dark night of the soul” during her Saturn Return — a period in astrology often associated with profound life change and spiritual awakening. After graduating in geology, relocating across the country, ending a long-term relationship, and unexpectedly losing her job, Angell found herself questioning everything she thought defined her identity and self-worth. When her career collapsed, she was forced inward, beginning a transformative journey of meditation, journaling, subconscious reprogramming, coaching, and spiritual self-discovery. As Angell began doing the inner work, she noticed dramatic shifts occurring externally. Abundance began flowing differently, opportunities appeared, relationships transformed, and she slowly realized that healing the inner world changes the outer reality. A major turning point came when she discovered A Course in Miracles, a spiritual text focused on shifting consciousness from fear to love. Through these teachings, Angell describes developing an authentic relationship with God beyond religion, doctrine, or institutional structures. The conversation explores the often difficult distinction between religion and spirituality. Raised within the Anglican church, Angell explains how traditional religious structures never truly resonated with her soul. In her twenties, she rebelled against organized religion entirely, believing she had rejected God altogether. Yet beneath the rebellion was a deeper search for truth, freedom, authenticity, and connection. Discovering teachings around the law of attraction, intuition, and conscious creation eventually opened a new doorway into spirituality that felt expansive rather than restrictive. One of the most powerful themes throughout the interview is surrender. Angell speaks candidly about learning to release the need for control and trust intuitive guidance even when it made no logical sense. She explains that the more she surrendered, the more “magical” life became — intuitive gifts awakened, synchronicities multiplied, and paths emerged that she could never have planned with the rational mind alone. Eventually, that surrender led Angell and her fiancé to make a life-changing decision: leaving behind stable careers, selling their possessions, and relocating from Canada to Greece in search of a slower, more aligned way of living. What they found on the island of Naxos was not only beauty, but a completely different relationship to time, community, generosity, and human connection. Angell reflects deeply on how Greek culture taught her the spiritual lesson of receiving. Coming from a highly transactional Western mindset — where every act of kindness felt like a debt needing repayment — she learned instead that generosity can flow naturally without expectation or obligation. The slower rhythm of island life also revealed something many people in modern society have forgotten: how to simply be present. Throughout the episode, Zenzi and Angell discuss burnout culture, overworking, nervous system exhaustion, the pressure placed particularly upon women in modern society, and the growing collective call to slow down and reconnect with intuition. Angell argues that modern systems often keep people too overwhelmed to hear their inner voice — too exhausted to connect with God, spirit, or deeper truth. The discussion also touches upon Christ consciousness, Mary Magdalene, feminine spiritual energy, forgiveness, courage, and the importance of not identifying permanently with the hardest chapters of one’s life. Angell beautifully explains that healing does not mean avoiding challenge; rather, it means learning to distinguish between the “hard” that grows the soul and the “hard” created by resistance and misalignment. Today, Angell Kelly supports others through intuitive readings, mentorship programmes, workshops, and her podcast Spirit Club, helping people reconnect with their intuition, heal subconscious limitations, and create lives rooted in authenticity, alignment, courage, and spiritual connection. Closing Reflection There comes a point in many people’s lives when achievement no longer feels like fulfilment. When the noise becomes too loud.The pace becomes too exhausting.And the soul begins quietly asking: “Is this really the life I came here to live?” Angell Kelly’s story is not simply about moving to a Greek island. It is about remembering how to hear again. To hear intuition.To hear God.To hear the whispers beneath the chaos. In a world that constantly teaches people to strive harder, control more, and move faster, this conversation reminds us that true alignment often begins when we finally slow down enough to listen. What makes Angell’s journey so powerful is her willingness to surrender the identity she had built around success, certainty, and external validation. In doing so, she discovered something far greater: trust. Trust in the unseen.Trust in divine timing.Trust in her own inner knowing. Many people are standing at similar crossroads right now — feeling burnt out, disconnected, spiritually restless, and quietly longing for a different way of living. This episode is a reminder that courage does not always look dramatic. Sometimes courage is simply allowing yourself to pause. To question. To soften. To listen. And perhaps most importantly, to believe that life can unfold more beautifully than the mind could ever plan alone. — Zenzi SewaahFounder & Spiritual Visionary of Spiritual Infinity Guest Contact & Bio Angell Kelly is an intuitive mentor, spiritual guide, reader, speaker, and host of the podcast Spirit Club.

She Lost Her Father at 11 — Then Began a Spiritual Awakening That Changed Everything | Dr. Crystal T. Harrell

In this deeply moving and spiritually rich episode of Spiritual Infinity, Zenzi Sewaah sits down with holistic health specialist, educator, author, and entrepreneur Dr. Crystal T. Harrell to explore the profound relationship between grief, trauma, healing, spirituality, and self-discovery. Raised in rural Alabama as one of ten children in a deeply religious Christian household, Crystal shares how the sudden death of her father from leukemia when she was just eleven years old became the catalyst for an intense inner journey that would shape the course of her life. Growing up in a family where grief, illness, and emotional pain were rarely discussed openly, Crystal silently carried years of anxiety, panic attacks, emotional suppression, and inner confusion. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Crystal T. Harrell speaks candidly about living with trauma for over a decade while trying to navigate life, education, and relationships without fully understanding the emotional wounds she was carrying. She reflects on how unprocessed grief can shape identity, distort perception, and quietly influence every aspect of life — from mental health and self-worth to relationships and physical wellbeing. At the age of twenty-three, Crystal reached what many describe as a “dark night of the soul.” In one defining moment, she became aware of the separation between herself and the painful thoughts occupying her mind. That realization changed everything. Rather than continuing to identify with fear, anxiety, and despair, she made a conscious decision to begin healing and reclaim the joyful, creative child she remembered being before trauma entered her life. What followed was a remarkable spiritual awakening and healing journey that took her far beyond the boundaries of her upbringing. After moving to Washington D.C. for graduate studies and later being accepted into Yale during the pandemic, Crystal began exploring deeper forms of healing including hypnotherapy, meditation, journaling, walking meditation, creativity, and emotional self-reflection. One of the most transformative chapters of her journey unfolded overseas in Bali and Thailand, where she immersed herself in healing communities, spiritual connection, nature, and self-discovery. Living in Ubud — known as the spiritual heart of Bali — Crystal describes feeling an energetic shift unlike anything she had experienced before. Removed from societal expectations and external conditioning, she was finally able to reconnect with herself not as a wounded identity, but simply as Crystal. The conversation also explores the healing power of relationships and community. Crystal shares how meeting her partner during her travels profoundly transformed her understanding of love, vulnerability, emotional safety, and connection. Through experiencing unconditional love and witnessing healthy family dynamics firsthand, she began healing deep fears surrounding trust, relationships, and emotional openness. A major theme throughout the interview is generational healing. Crystal and Zenzi discuss how trauma often passes silently through families until one generation consciously chooses to interrupt the cycle. Crystal reflects on how each of her siblings processed grief differently — through silence, isolation, addiction, relationships, or achievement — yet all eventually found themselves confronting inherited emotional wounds in their own way. Today, Dr. Crystal T. Harrell has transformed her personal healing journey into purposeful service. Alongside her sisters, she co-founded Seven Sisters & Company, a plant-based hair and skincare brand inspired by ancestral wisdom, herbal healing, and the strength of the women in their family lineage. Using herbal infusions and natural ingredients, the company focuses on holistic wellness, hair restoration, and plant-based beauty rooted in healing traditions and community empowerment. In addition to entrepreneurship, Crystal continues her work as an academic success coach, helping students navigate higher education while encouraging emotional resilience, self-awareness, and personal growth. Throughout this powerful conversation, listeners are reminded that healing is not linear. It is layered, ongoing, deeply personal, and often guided by intuition. Whether through therapy, journaling, creativity, meditation, travel, nature, spirituality, or meaningful relationships, the path toward wholeness begins the moment we choose to face ourselves honestly. Closing Reflection There comes a moment in many people’s lives when survival is no longer enough. A moment when the soul quietly whispers: “There must be more than this pain.” Dr. Crystal T. Harrell’s journey is a reminder that healing does not begin when life becomes perfect. Healing begins the moment we decide to stop abandoning ourselves. For years, she carried grief in silence. Fear in silence. Anxiety in silence. And yet somewhere beneath the trauma, her inner child never disappeared. She simply waited patiently to be remembered. What makes this conversation so powerful is that it speaks to the reality so many people live with quietly every day — unresolved grief, inherited trauma, emotional suppression, fear of vulnerability, and the longing to feel whole again. But healing is possible. Sometimes it begins with a question.Sometimes with a breakdown.Sometimes with a one-way ticket to another country.Sometimes with simply admitting: “I want to feel alive again.” And once that intention is made, life begins responding. The right people arrive.The right opportunities appear.The right mirrors are placed before us. This episode reminds us that spirituality is not escaping life — it is becoming fully present within it. It is the courage to heal, to soften, to reconnect, and to remember who we were before fear convinced us otherwise. May we all continue the journey back to ourselves.

Healing Through Forgiveness: Katharine Giovanni on Intuition, Energy, and Emotional Freedom

In this deeply spiritual and emotionally transformative episode of Spiritual Infinity, Zenzi Sewaah speaks with author, intuitive guide, and forgiveness expert Katharine Giovanni from North Carolina about the profound connection between intuition, emotional healing, forgiveness, and spiritual awakening. Born clairaudient and highly intuitive, Katharine shares how she spent much of her childhood hiding her spiritual gifts out of fear of rejection and misunderstanding. Growing up during the 1960s and 70s, she explains that intuition and psychic sensitivity were often dismissed as signs of instability, forcing her to remain silent about the voices, insights, and spiritual guidance she had experienced since childhood. As a young girl, Katharine would instinctively know things before they happened, sense energies around people, and receive intuitive warnings guiding her decisions. Yet these experiences often alienated her from others. Bullied and emotionally isolated during her school years, she reached a breaking point at age thirteen when she contemplated suicide. In that darkest moment, an inner voice repeatedly urged her to call her best friend Vivian — a call that ultimately saved her life. Throughout the conversation, Katharine reflects on how intuition is not a rare gift reserved for a few, but a natural human ability available to everyone. Some people feel it, some sense it, some hear it, and others simply “know.” According to Katharine, humanity has simply forgotten how to listen. Her life took a powerful turn at nineteen during a wilderness-based outdoor program where she spent three days alone in nature with nothing but a tent, water, and a journal. Removed from distraction and noise, Katharine finally began listening to the inner guidance she had suppressed for years. That experience became the beginning of a lifelong journey of personal transformation, self-discovery, and service to others. Katharine later went on to become one of the early pioneers of the independent concierge industry, writing multiple books and founding an international concierge association. But despite her professional success, another major life challenge emerged when she was diagnosed with stage-three breast cancer in 2012. During this deeply vulnerable period, Katharine was forced to confront years of suppressed anger, unresolved emotional pain, and family trauma. She openly discusses how emotional burdens, resentment, and unprocessed experiences can manifest physically within the body. One of the most powerful moments in the interview comes when she explains how intuitive guidance unexpectedly led her to begin jogging — a decision that ultimately helped doctors discover the cancer early enough to save her life. The heart of the conversation centers around Katharine’s unique forgiveness system — a step-by-step emotional and energetic healing practice designed to help people release resentment, trauma, and emotional triggers from their lives. She challenges many common misconceptions about forgiveness, explaining that forgiving someone does not mean excusing their behavior, reconciling with them, or allowing them back into your life. Instead, forgiveness is an act of personal liberation — a way of releasing the energetic hold painful experiences continue to have over the mind, body, and spirit. Katharine introduces the idea that unresolved emotional energy lingers within our energetic field, affecting not only our emotional wellbeing, but also our relationships, health, opportunities, and overall vibration. Drawing on spiritual principles, energy work, and the famous Japanese water experiments by Masaru Emoto, she explains how thoughts, emotions, and words directly affect the body’s energetic and physical state. She then outlines her practical forgiveness process, encouraging listeners to begin with smaller emotional wounds before attempting to heal their deepest traumas. Participants are guided to create lists of people, memories, situations, places, and even financial experiences that carry emotional charge. Through spoken intention and emotional acknowledgment, the energy attached to those experiences can gradually be released. The conversation also explores the spiritual concept of generational and energetic healing. Katharine and Zenzi reflect on how emotional pain and unresolved trauma can pass through families and even across lifetimes, and how forgiveness work can help cleanse those energetic patterns not only for ourselves, but for future generations as well. As the episode unfolds, both speakers discuss the current global climate of upheaval and uncertainty, viewing it through a spiritual lens. Rather than seeing chaos as destruction alone, they suggest humanity is entering a period where hidden wounds, corruption, and dysfunction are finally surfacing so they can be healed and transformed. The interview concludes with Katharine offering a simple but powerful message to listeners: “You are worthy.” Worthy of love, healing, abundance, forgiveness, peace, and authenticity. She reminds listeners that as emotional burdens are released, people naturally begin reconnecting with the person they were always meant to become. Closing Reflection So many people carry invisible emotional weight for years — anger, grief, betrayal, shame, abandonment, disappointment, regret. We often believe we must simply endure it. But as Katharine Giovanni reminds us, emotional pain does not simply disappear because time passes. Energy lingers. Experiences imprint themselves into the body, the mind, and even the spirit until we consciously choose to release them. Forgiveness is not weakness.It is not surrender.It is not pretending that harm never happened. Forgiveness is freedom. It is the courageous decision to stop carrying what no longer belongs to us. This conversation is a reminder that healing rarely happens all at once. It happens gently — layer by layer, memory by memory, breath by breath. Sometimes we begin with the smallest wound, and in doing so, we slowly create space for deeper healing to unfold. And perhaps the most powerful truth of all is this: You are worthy of peace.You are worthy of healing.You are worthy of becoming who you truly are. May we all learn to release what weighs heavily upon our hearts, so that the light within us can rise again. — Zenzi SewaahFounder & Spiritual Visionary of Spiritual Infinity Guest Contact & Bio Katharine Giovanni is an award-winning author, speaker, intuitive advisor, and forgiveness coach based in North Carolina, USA.
