Today’s episode is going to be a bit of a departure from our usual type of topics, but I have a feeling that it will be one that will spark some questions, possibly some debate and who knows, maybe even a changed mind or two.

Perry Marshall is an author, speaker, engineer and world-renowned business consultant. With a decade of research, Perry brings a fresh perspective to the ongoing evolutionary debate, where science and faith go to battle. Perry says that the actual truth is that both sides are both right AND wrong.  In his book, Evolution 2.0, Perry breaks the deadlock between Darwin and Design.  

Episode Highlights: 

• Perry comes from a conservative, religious background, growing up with his father being a pastor, so the idea of evolution was a charged subject. 
• evolution is a purposeful arms race that is run by the intelligence of cells. 
• The DNA in one cell of our body has the equivalent of a CD holding info a million times denser than the best hard drive that money can buy. 
• Evolution is the most incredible engineering accomplishment ever seen. 
• Perry's book, Evolution 2.0 attempts to marry both sides of the equation to create a more whole picture. 
• Where does the code for out cells come from? Perry has a $5 million reward to find out. Go to www.naturalcode.com for more info. 
• If you don't know the answer to something, look for an answer and follow wherever the evidence leads. 
• Perry wants to heal the rift between science and religion. 
• Darwinists underestimate nature and Creationists underestimate God. 
• In everything we do, we have a filter where we only see 5% of what's in front of us. We are limited in our perspective. This is why people hire coaches! 
• Resistance is a sign that you are doing the right thing. 
• Harness the procrastination demons by defying them! 
• It's our job to evolve. We are suppose to live an EPIC journey.

Are you an entrepreneur that has aging parents? Have you given any thought about how caring for your parents in their advancing years could impact your business, health and savings? More often than not, this is a scenario that isn’t thought about or planned for until it’s too late. Most have no idea the physical and emotional cost caregiving can impose. Our wonderful guest today is here to give us some insight on how we can start making a plan, so we don’t end up having to choose between the business we created and caring for aging loved ones.

For over 20 years, business consultant and coach, Ruth Ullmann helped companies, groups and individuals achieve their business objectives. Then the day came where Ruth had to give up her consulting business so she could care for her aging parents. This greatly impacted her health and her savings account.

• What is care giver fatigue? Is it a real thing? 
• Care giving can span 10-20 years, the average is 20 hours per week (+ your own work hours and taking care of your own personal stuff), can cost the caregiver 8-10 years of their life due to the stress involved. 
• Its usually ONE adult child that takes on the majority of the responsibility, no matter how many siblings there are.
