    Part 2: Close Up Radio Welcomes Back Revered Lawyer and Family Law Expert Philip A. Greenberg

    NEW YORK, NY -- Philip A Greenberg went to university and law school at a tumultuous time, when the war and draft deferments cut down the number of seats available for new students. That was 1970. He completed his undergraduate studies at Brooklyn College in Brooklyn, where he grew up. At the time, the Law School admission criteria had 7 tiers, and Brooklyn College was on par with Ivy League institutions. The fact that he had been a student body president helped; it also helped that his father was a postal worker and CUNY Schools were still tuition-free back then. He graduated from NYU Law School in Manhattan in 1973with a JD degree and was admitted to the NY Bar in 1974. Later, in 1988. he was admitted to the NJ Bar (at a time when the residency requirement had recently been lifted.)As a teen, young Philip loved watching Divorce Court and so while he started out his legal career doing commercial matters, he later switched his focus. He has been practicing law for about 50 years now. Throughout the last 25 years he has been focused on family and divorce law matters, such as distributing martial assets, custody, support, marital property and pre/post nuptial agreements.For over 20 years Mr. Greenberg has maintained a solo practice, calling on the expertise of outside counsel and former partners with whom he is still associated. In addition to family law, he handles business matters such as corporate and coop/condo dweller and owner disputes. He has earned many honors including the Martindale Hubbell highest ranking, Who’s Who in American Law, and the Super Lawyer title, each award a nod to his high ethics, client outcomes, and peer ratings.Despite these many awards and more that he turned down (no pay to play for this lawyer) Mr. Greenberg says he is not a household name. By appearing on these podcasts, he hopes to educate and entertain. He has many significant wins to discuss and outlines all the services that fall under the family law umbrella. He also discusses the other types of cases he has taken on, including bankruptcy, trademark infractions, and landlord-tenant issues, where he has represented both sides. He is admitted to several state and federal district courts as well as Tax Court and most importantly the US Supreme Court which supports these many proceedings.The bulk of Philip A Greenberg’s legal business is devoted to family law and one of the two podcasts delves into this specialty area—the many types of couples involved, the assets on the table, the emotional side of the work, and the tight deadlines for submitting briefs, which can interfere with holidays and does not allow for sick time. He boasts that he hasn’t had a sick day since he was age 9.Perhaps it is because he remains so dedicated to his work and clients, and he is always available to them. The work is also challenging due to the emotional component in family law, particularly when there are minor children involved in a custody battle.The spectrum of family law includes custody, division of marital assets like homes and cars and investment portfolios, filing for the divorce, income from trusts, and more. Many of the people involved have accumulated much in their years together, whether they were married or not, and Mr. Greenberg has litigated for couples who were domestic partners for as long as 40 years, as well as same-sex couples,Mr. Greenberg is also unique in that he has dedicated services related to men’s rights and says that they are often neglected in such proceedings. This lawyer is so people-oriented that his website welcome message states: Compassionate to People, Passionate about the Law.“It’s about the people not the money. The same dedication and ethics apply whether it is a $5,

    Close Up Radio Spotlights Michelle Kooi of Confluence Coaching and Consulting LLC

    Durango, CO -- Michelle Kooi is a consultant and coach who is known for helping small business clients overcome the stumbling blocks to their greatest success. While she is viewed as a business coach, and has many years of experience as a CPA, she acknowledges that her coaching strategies bridge genres, and can be in the vein of life coaching, wellness coaching, transformational coaching, and leadership coaching. Much of that is attributed to Michelle’s devices for positive mindset, time and energy management, and overcoming our inner critic. There are 7 pillars to wellness she notes, and only one of them is financial.Michelle started her coach training while she was still working as a tax professional and consultant. In 2023 she decided to devote herself full time to the coaching and consulting side of her life. She established Confluence Coaching & Consulting, a practice named for the meaning of confluence: when two things (or people) come together to create something new and better, something that could never happen with just one. When it comes to small business owners, who might be creative or expert salespeople but lack other skills (such as financial management or organizational savvy), this confluence is about working in sync to build the skills or relationships that will solve their dilemmas. Nobody is perfect at everything Michelle acknowledges, and that is another message her clients sometimes need to hear.Michelle is vocal about the fact that she has ADHD, which was diagnosed later in life and can manifest differently in women than men. She addresses ways this can affect the direction of a business and helps people to overcome it, by creating awareness, closing skill gaps, and building time for joy, self-care, or recovery into each workday. People with ADHD also can experience deep self-doubt (sometimes called imposter syndrome) and have a strong inner critic, and she helps them find evidence to the contrary, unlock potential, and feel a sense of empowerment. Some ways she inspires them are by looking at things from a new perspective, reciting mantras, and sometimes just telling that small voice to shut up and go away.“Sometimes people will hire me for my CPA and tax consulting work/IRS questions and others just for coaching. Some cross over, especially if they have a poor relationship with money. Whatever they want to work on I can help, from creating a business plan to building self-worth and confidence. We work on whatever these solo-preneurs and small business folks think are holding them back and keeping them stuck. Whatever they might need to make better decisions or more money. They bring their concerns to me; I hold space and provide support to move forward.”You can explore the full range of service offerings at Michelle’s website www.confluencecoaching.life. When you open the page you will see a  silhouette, stretching a bow and arrow. This is not just representation signifying keeping sharp, focused, and on point, but is an actual picture of the coach and her favorite hobby. She discovered archery as a teen and picked it up again nearly 40 years later. Archery keeps Michelle outdoors, and she finds it a very meditative experience. It is also helpful for her ADHD side. Michelle was also a gymnast early in life and was pushed to always achieve that perfect 10. Being competitive is good in business, she believes, but obsessing about doing better is not a healthy outlook.  It is important for people to strive and find workarounds when they need to, especially when dealing with diverse thinking like ADHD. It is also good to know one’s superpowers and conversely when help is needed. That is when you might want to hire a coach or consultant and get support for the things you are not so adept at.

    Close Up Radio Spotlights Life Coach and Self-Awareness Guide Fredah Mainah PhD

    Irving, TX -- Fredah Mainah, PhD is more than a coach, she is the leader of a community designed for self-discovery and self-leadership. Originally from Kenya, she is forever linked to immigration and asylum causes, and the name of the non-profit organization she established, Rainbow Ono Sanctuary speaks to that. For one, it is a sanctuary because she is always about feeling safe in one’s thoughts and identity, and the word rainbow is a reflection of diversity. She welcomes people from all nations and walks of life in her every endeavor. The word Ono comes from Swahili and means vision. Dr. Fredah is a woman of vision—believing in possibilities for herself and others. She delights in helping people gain self-awareness and grow, much in the way a flower blossoms over time.Dr. Fredah has been recognized for many accomplishments throughout her career. The doctor title came from when she achieved her doctoral degree in industrial psychology and organizational leadership from the Chicago School. She has other educational degrees to her credit, having arrived in the US in 2010 with an MBA and then going back to school to get two other Master’s here (from Western Michigan where she also taught.)In 2017, she became an Immigration Officer with the US Citizenship and Immigration service and says she is a reflection of the determination and resilience many immigrants display. Dr. Fredah also worked as an instructor while building the non-profit organization for which she is founder and CEO. Instructional design and delivery are part of her skill set and support the process.The sanctuary she founded has multiple purposes, including as an online school where people can continue their studies of the English language. There are also courses to develop emotional intelligence, self-leadership, and study healing arts such as Reiki and Tai Chi. Her research partners and fellow instructors are primarily women, and much of her educational background was while teaching at girls’ schools. Dr. Fredah also focused on gender issues and women’s studies. This is why the radio show honored her among their Empowering Women.Beyond the Rainbow Ono Sanctuary, Dr. Fredah inspires, coaches and motivates through social media. You will find several of her videos, including one about women models beyond the age of 50, on You Tube and her Model page on Facebook. Many people, such as aging women, struggle with self-esteem and perfection and she encourages them to change their mindset through deep reflection and changing our thought patterns. If something happened recently that ticked you off, you have the power to recognize it and then decide not to let it tick you off next time.“if we really start observing our behaviors and noticing thoughts and habits, we can get a real-time picture of who we are and just what we are most passionate about. This kind of self-awareness applies in personal relationships and leadership circles.”Dr. Fredah realizes that her coaching format is unique in that she is not solely an executive coach, a transformational coach, a wellness coach, or a life coach. She says she has practiced all of them at one time or another and decided to put them all together into her new self-awareness/self-leadership practice. She considers herself a transformational leader who helps individuals and executives to achieve their highest potential through reflection and self-observation techniques. Her techniques also aid authentic presence.She is also recognized as a humanitarian and an advocate for citizenship. Dr. Fredah has published 4 books, two on the topic of immigration and citizenship, and one about leadership. You will delight in learning more about this powerhouse – and all she is, does, and aspires to -- through this new podcast.

    Part 1: Close Up Radio Spotlights Dr. Marina McLean of MegaWomen and RMM

    Bedford, TX -- Dr. Marina McLean is a woman who has been honored for achievements in more than one discipline and readily admits to being an overachiever. One of the areas she is noted for is her coaching; the way she inspires other women and provides advice and tools that can help them reach a higher level of achievement. She herself has kept rising, with an honorary doctorate in Divinity, and coaching certifications as a Life Coach in 2018 and Master Coach in 2019. She will be talking about her global efforts to empower women in one of two upcoming interviews. The MegaWomen initiative is a means for women to create, connect, collaborate, and use innate skills to explore greater success, without sacrificing their peace of mind or self-care. Another mainstay that made Dr. McLean a household name is RMM -- a ministry with a set of initials that have two meanings. Of course, one is her and her husband’s names (Marina and Renny McLean), and the other is Revelations, Miracles and Manifestations. Spirituality, Christian doctrine, and fathomless belief in God are more than just a lifestyle for Dr. McLean: they drive every moment of her life, and support every aspiration she has, whether for herself and others. Dr. McLean is a multitalented artist who excels as a life coach, keynote speaker, songwriter and worship leader.Many of her pursuits are conducted with her husband she met as a youth. They had been part of the choirs from two different churches when they first connected. She saw a rare depth and they engaged in conversation and became fast friends. It progressed later, personally and professionally. The McLeans spread messages and positive energy in many forms -- from books, to music, to TV shows that stream on the RMM.TV @app available on all major platforms such as Apple TV and Roku. The Infinity Center is the name of their online church, where you can hear inspirational messages and music. The streaming channel also features her MegaWomen conferences, and face-to-face interviews with powerful women who are discovering their hidden talents and worth, and role modeling leadership and impactful mindsets. MegaWomen is a 501-c-3 organization. “Creators need a space where they can connect and collaborate. Where they can go further through networking. We brainstorm, help fine tune branding, and increase the return on marketing plans. The energy in the room is simply incredible.” In her two interviews this March, Dr. McLean talks about the Mega Women and their annual conferences. She also discusses her work as an author, especially All Things Dr. Marina, a book for worship leaders that helps them in relating to the Lord and advancing the mission of their churches. The book has been acknowledged with Christian Literary Awards. She also developed The Invitation, a 52-week devotional journal where she is one of the authors with fifty-two women that can be used to document the miracles people witness and what they’ve experienced through the McLean’s ministry.The McLeans clearly have an entrepreneurial spirit in addition to their godly spirit. Together, they launched a line of organic spice mixes with the label Kosher Kitchen. Her MegaWomen organizations is forging a global community of leaders, pioneers, and entrepreneurs. And in the shop section of their website, you can purchase items that further the message of women with a mission, such as a T-shirt that says SWAG, Spiritual Women After God. Everything this woman does is with a positive mindset and a feeling of inner power. That is why the radio team heralded Dr. Marina as one of their Empowering Women. As Dr. Marina advances in age, she only seems to become more impactful.

These works of fiction serve not only to entertain but to offer readers insights into the human condition and historical events.

    Part 1: Close Up Radio Spotlights Entrepreneur and Investigator Harry Kazakian of USA Express

    WOODLAND HILLS, CA -- Harry Kazakian is a man who stumbled onto his career during the process of purchasing his first home. Conversations with the inspector led him to explore insurance, in particular the examination and investigation of claims and insurance coverage related to auto incidents. He went on to establish his own private investigations and legal support firm, with only 2 clients, his supportive wife, and a table in his garage. Twenty-six years later he built it all into a considerable empire, with 100 employees (38 onsite, 30+ field reps) situated on the 12th floor of a high-rise building, plus two other locations. He expects to keep on growing with the support of a private equity firm that was intrigued by the business and its systems.. There are a few good reasons behind Kazakian’s success: happy clients, trusted results, an accessible and supportive staff, end-to-end services and proprietary technology. USA Express Legal Support, Claims Management and Investigations provides a full range of legal support, claims management, and investigative services and has completed more than 4000 significant cases. The name came from a discussion he had with his wife Gina in Pasadena over breakfast one day and came from his love of America (not his native country.) There are many different cases and processes the company executes — from locating missing witnesses, to missing heirs of the deceased, identifying governmental claim exposure on a catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases to hold bureaucracy responsible for the event implementing roadway and/or environmental changes to make area safer for the consumer. They help their attorney clients’ client to maximize value of their claims, do civil and criminal background checks (which in CA only comes after a job offer is on the table), prepare & issue subpoenas for records and help reconstruct accident scenarios by conducting incident scene investigations collecting evidence and data from the scene for the experts to reconstruct the event. A major aspect of the company is the work they do to support consumer attorneys to win their cases.  such as e-Filing complaints with the court system for law offices, serving writs and service of process, interviewing witnesses, collecting on-site evidence, and reviewing security camera footage that may have captured the incident. Beyond their scope of services USA Express Legal Support, Claims Management and Investigations is recognized for giving back to the communities they serve, as a patron of causes such as domestic abuse survivors, LATLS – Los Angeles Trial Lawyers Charities, the 1199 CHP Foundation, and Shriners Hospital for Children, to name a few. Harry and his team have three office locations in California, one of which was in the path of the recent wildfires. While they smelled acrid smoke and saw smoggy skies out the window, they were all lucky things were contained without impacting their actual facilities.In the two podcasts, Harry is going to tell his personal story, about how he got started, why clients love him, and how he kept building, innovating, and growing. He will talk about some of the most exciting cases they were involved in. These included a tragedy that took place in a decommissioned bunker left over from WW II in San Bernadino County; a defective tire case and blowout that led to an ejected passenger’s death, and the lack of lights and safety by the crosswalks on Pacific Coast Highway. Harry Kazakian is proud to have unveiled critical information and interviewed witnesses that helped to settle each of these cases and make California safter for its citizens.Harry Kazakian is licensed by the California Department of Insurance as an Independent Adjuster,
