Going Beyond Limits:
THE UNABASHED PURSUIT OF MARKET LEADERSHIP

Q: What does a spinal cord injury survivor, a stroke survivor and a caregiver overwhelm survivor have in common?
A: An indomitable spirit to triumph over adversity and go beyond limits. As a high-powered leadership coaching team, focused on the fine art of strategic business development, they have a passion for helping their clients achieve top-of-mind status as market leaders in the health and wellness industry. We coach companies, communities and individuals to prepare for and navigate sudden disruption with unstoppable optimism.

The Leadership Principles of C.A.R.E.™
Collaboration, Adaptability, Resilience and Equanimity.

Navigating our rapidly changing business landscape where unprecedented, tectonic shifts are becoming the new norm requires both new strategies and a new leadership mindset to gain and sustain market leadership. We call this leadership mindset C.A.R.E.™ - Collaboration, Adaptability, Resilience and Equanimity. As experts in strategic business development and leadership coaching we believe in leading by example based on direct personal experience.

To demonstrate these groundbreaking leadership principles as thought leaders we have two business ventures currently under development plus a community outreach initiative called HyperLocal C.A.R.E.™ beginning in our Santa Barbara neighborhood of Carpinteria, California. We conduct our HyperLocal C.A.R.E community leadership programs through the Enlightened Caregiving Foundation, our 501(c)(3).

C.A.R.E. Business Ventures

Beyond Limits: A non-scripted “docu-series” about individuals with disabilities who have accomplished extraordinary things by applying the principles of C.A.R.E.™ and who mentor people with the same or similar challenges on an adventure of a lifetime.

Prepare to Care, Now!™
Enlightened Leadership Training for Caregiver Self-Coaching & Caregiver Coaches

Over half of the 50 million unpaid caregivers in USA are overwhelmed. To radically reduce the high cost of caregiver overwhelm as a health crisis and its effects on businesses (low productivity and absenteeism), and on taxpayers, an “army” of family caregiver coaches need to be trained to apply the leadership principles of C.A.R.E. . We intend to partner with other organizations to scale this video training program worldwide, leveraging advanced AI translation technology to ensure accessibility for a diverse global audience.

C.A.R.E. FOR YOUR COMMUNITY

HyperLocal C.A.R.E.™ Community Leadership Programs: A HyperLocal C.A.R.E.™ Community Leadership Program is our name for a grassroots project that fills an underserved need in your immediate community. It is spearheaded by ordinary people who feel a passion to achieve a positive outcome that benefits many.

To test this model we identified a potential health crisis in our Santa Barbara neighborhood of Carpinteria, California, where we have a significant Hispanic population (43%). According to the American Heart Association: The biggest rise in strokes over the next decade will be among Hispanic men, who are expected to see a 29% increase in stroke rates.

Raising awareness to ACTUAR RÁPIDO! not only can help reduce incidents of severe strokes but also reduce the inevitable repercussions of caregiver overwhelm: the financial impact on families, its effects on businesses and on tax payers. If we all work together as a community, we can make a significant difference.

OUR STORY

There’s a moment no family ever wants to face.

For Sam W. Morris, it struck his parents at 3am on November 10, 1999, when he awoke them to share the harrowing news that he was paralyzed from the waist down at the age of twenty-four. On Black Friday 2011, Sean Entin’s family was shaken by the news that he had suffered a stroke, resulting in partial paralysis and a medically induced coma. Upon awakening, Sean’s cognitive abilities had regressed to that of a child, transforming him from a serial entrepreneur to someone who was now dependent. Easter Sunday of 2022 brought a similar crisis to Ron Seigel, when he found his beloved wife, Alexandra, collapsed from a stroke in their bathroom. Having been married and business partners for over fifty years, this was a devastating blow.

These moments, unexpected and life-altering, highlight the harsh reality many face following a neurological injury. Suddenly, family members find themselves transitioning into the role of unpaid caregivers. Such situations are alarmingly common. Globally, one in four people will experience a stroke or another neurological injury. In the U.S. alone, there are over 53 million unpaid family caregivers at any given time, many of whom are looking after someone who has suffered a neurological injury. This reality has driven Ron Seigel, Sean Entin, and Sam W. Morris to become partners in Napa Consultants, Int’l.

MEDIA PARTNER

My whole life I have been fascinated by the power of movies. They fill us with emotion, spark our imagination, and enrich our lives. I decided I wanted to share that feeling of wonder and excitement with others, so I picked up a camera and have never looked back. As a Camera Operator, I have the honor to be the first person to "see" the movie and guide the audience on their journey. Being able to collaborate with other talented people and bring a shared vision to life is incredibly satisfying.

WILLPOWER CINEMA is about having the physical and mental strength to overcome the challenges that we face as filmmakers. Through our collective power we can create amazing motion pictures for the enjoyment of audiences everywhere. Where there's a Will, there's a way!
