Besides the obvious language barrier, Tony was brought up in a very strict & very abusive household; he had very little freedom growing up. With all of these challenges compiled, Tony became very shy, often coming across as an introvert. Feeling overwhelmed, He struggled with the desire to fit in. At one point in his teens, he faced depression and thoughts of suicide. All this changed on his 18th Birthday when he faced death & experienced a life-altering out of body experience after having a massive car accident. He soon realized and appreciated his gift, with his new God-given gift of a "new life." Tony decided shortly thereafter that he was going to experience everything that life had to offer as he nearly died without having lived, if he were going to die tomorrow, he would live today. Being afraid of heights, translated into Skydiving. Being afraid of deep water/non-swimmer, translated into scuba diving, etc. Life is to be experienced, savored, lived, not just survived.

Because what good is knowledge if you don't put it to use and share that knowledge and your talents with the world.

Bathrobe Moments heads to the PRODUCE section w/ John E. Avocado!

John E Avocado grew up in a very Loving Home with both parents, two older sister and a younger brother. And was born and raised in the small city of Quincy, Illinois nestled on the banks of the Mighty Mississippi River. John E grew up on that river, and much of his youth was spent with his toes in the sand, if they weren’t in a pair of work boots. As the son of tradesmen his skills and knowledge grew as quickly as his hands and his mind. And much like a Modern Huck Finn, with John E.’s quick wit and sense of daring, it seemed as if there wasn’t an adventure left, or skill unknown to him, before High School was even over. And this is where the trouble began. To escape the fate of his friends, who were older and already headed down dead end paths, John E. joined the Air Force, and spent his 18th Birthday in Basic Training. He began his enlistment as an electronics specialist fixing jets but jumped at the opportunity to re-enlisted as a C-130 Hercules Loadmaster and fly around the world to exciting and exotic locations, kicking people, vehicles, and supplies out the back door. John E had started his first business, a Tool and Die Design Firm, well before his enlistment was up. So, after a couple of years, and a few lessons learned, it was time to move on to the next adventure. Leaving the service was a difficult transition for John E. “Returning to Basic” required a lot of time and a lot of help from those around him. So, when he came out on the other side, he decided that if there was anything he could do to help someone else, he would. And John E. Avocado was born. A big part of that help was his wife, Kenya. Together the two of them picked up roots and left their sleepy hometown for the big city, eventually moving around the states and landing in Kansas City, Mo. Along the way John E had the opportunity to become a Family Man, a 3d Animator, Computer Coder, and Inventor. His lifelong love of learning kept him trying to solve some of the confusion still left in his mind, and his pursuit of Positive Psychology began in earnest. He discovered that much of the information he sought could be found in the Sales and Marketing industries; and this new knowledge opened new doors that John E. quickly stepped through. John E. now finds himself in a unique situation where he uses the power of Positive Psychology to influence the mind to affect the body, and the marvel of Virtual Reality to influence the body to affect the mind. John E. “Makes It Happen” as a VR Specialist representing, speaking, and educating about VR and Mental Health. And he “Makes Shit Happen” as he teaches and coaches professional and personal developmental, as well as touring as a Motivational Speaker.
