    Major Anthony “AB” Bourke is a highly accomplished and decorated F-16 fighter pilot who flew tactical missions in service to our country all over the world. He has accumulated more than 3,000 hours of flight time in various high performance aircraft and was one of the first pilots to fly an F-16 in homeland defense efforts over New York City in the aftermath of September 11th.

He ascended rapidly to become the top producing mortgage banker in the Western US for a prominent lending institution.

    Following these two endeavors, AB combined his love of business with his passion for tactical aviation to build Afterburner Seminars, a global training company based on the lessons he learned in the military.

    Lisa Tholen

    The Magnetic Closer

    At 24, I had $100 in my bank account and zero safety net — but I trusted myself enough to buy a million-dollar spa property in Santa Barbara. From there, I built an international career, living and working across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, where I closed multimillion-dollar sales deals — before becoming the top rep in U.S. medical aesthetics.


    Now I’m the author of Magnetic as F*CK and the creator of The Magnetic Method™, where I teach women how to sell with confidence, authenticity, and power — especially in male-dominated industries.


    I don’t just talk sales tactics — I talk about resilience, self-belief, and what it really takes to go from “$100 in my account” to owning a business, building wealth, and closing tens of millions in sales. My interviews blend practical strategies with magnetic mindset shifts, so your listeners walk away with tools to close more deals and believe bigger in themselves.


    Why book me? Because your audience doesn’t need another cookie-cutter “sales hacks” episode. They need to hear how to become magnetic in business and life. That’s exactly what I deliver.

In this inspiring episode, Don reflects on a lifetime of wisdom shaped by family, hard work, and perseverance. His insights offer listeners a profound look at legacy, leadership, and the values that carry us through every chapter of life.

    Don Britton

    The Great Deception of American Christianity" is all about the corrupt American Church today teaching a modern gospel that misleads people by giving them a false sense of security about salvation.

    I was a worldly, lost, immoral man until I surrendered my life the Jesus in the privacy of my home in 1979 when I was 31 years old. Before that I had little knowledge or experience with the church world. After turning to the Lord I started going to church with a businessman who had shared the gospel with me. It was a full gospel church and was confusing to me so after several months I took my family to a Southern Baptist church. There I was told that I could still commit adultery like I used to and still go to heaven. I also realized that a lot of people in the church were living in sin. So after about a year I moved my family to Charismatic church. There we encountered more confusion as well as hearing so-called prophets whose words did not come true. We visited the Presbyterian church, went to tent meetings, visited the Church of Christ, and took a bible course at Kay Author's Reach Out Ranch. We also spent some time in a Pentecostal church with no better results. We went to special meetings here and there and even visited a home church. People gave us tapes on the prosperity gospel and books on salvation. The more we heard the more we were confused as to how all this could be Christian with so many different doctrines and traditions. So, in 1983 I bought a NASB bible, a concordance, a Greek dictionary, a Hebrew dictionary and an English dictionary. Then I quit church, brought my family home and began to spend all day on Sundays studying the scriptures to get clarity on the truth. Then after I studied a certain topic, I would meet with my family on Sunday evening and teach them what I was learning. I soon discovered that almost everything I had been taught by the church world was either false or only half true which makes it false. From there other people wanted to come and hear what I was learning, so we now had a home church. Later I was invited to speak at a Bible conference in Texas and then begin to travel and speak in different parts of the country on exposing the falsehoods of the church and teaching the truth about salvation. In 2015, I sold my auto repair business (of 43 years) and my used car dealership and started an accounting and tax service in my home. I continue to teach and serve a small body of believers and now do podcasts and YouTube videos to try and reach people with the truth. Thank you for considering me as a guest on your podcast.

    Robert A. Lane

    Audiobook Coach & Producer/Transformational Speaker

    All nonfiction authors need to narrate their own audiobooks. No one on this planet can replicate you, not another narrator and definitely not AI.

    Preserving the integrity of your author brand and leaving a valuable legacy in your own voice with an audiobook is a gift you give for generations to come.

    As an Audiobook Coach & Producer, nothing beats helping nonfiction authors discover, love and embrace the wonderful voice they have and getting them published on Audible, Amazon & Apple Books!

    I worked in the entertainment industry for over 30 years in various facets of the business including radio, audio production, on camera, off camera and the corporate side of the industry. My last 14 years were spent working at 20th Century Fox on the studio lot in Los Angeles as a Feature Project Manager. I definitely some interesting stories and experiences throughout my career!

    After I left the entertainment industry I founded Robert Lane Coaching, first as a career/life coach and then expanding the business as an Audiobook Coach & Producer.

    So many nonfiction authors have incredible stories to tell and speaking them in their own voice is crucial. Confidence and authenticity are the secret sauce to creating a compelling audiobook which is a vital piece of their author brand.

    Remember, as a published nonfiction author you have now entered the world of entrepreneurship. You are the CEO of you! Embrace it!

  • Book 101 Review, in its fifth season, features Charly Leetham—Founder & CEO known for translating complex technology into plain, practical language—as my guest.
    2025/11/21

    Charly Leetham

    Founder & CEO who translates tech into plain language for business owners who just need it to work.

    Charly Leetham has been building things that work for over 40 years.

    She earned her amateur radio license at 13 - the youngest person to do it at the time, and one of very few girls. She raced dirt bikes competitively as a teenager. By 21, she had an Associate Diploma in Electronic Engineering. By 30, she'd completed an MBA in two years while working 60 - 80 hours a week and raising two young children.

    She's been a field tech, team leader, salesperson, project manager, contract manager, and client relationship manager in technology. She's also been a dog obedience instructor and judge, and wrote the training manual for clicker training when it was brand new in Australia.

    At 40, she bought and ran franchises - four at one point - while still raising her kids. When those businesses failed and left her $1 million in debt, she started over. That's when she founded Ask Charly Leetham.

    What began as a way to pay bills and put food on the table became a sustainable, long-running digital services business. For nearly two decades, she's provided website design and development, hosting, email services, branding, and IT support to small businesses worldwide - with clients across Australia, the United States, and throughout English-speaking nations. Many of her clients have been with her for over 12 years - not because she's flashy, but because she listens, solves problems, and shows up.


    Charly still works hands-on with systems, troubleshoots technical issues, and leads her team with clarity and accountability. She built her business without external funding, through rapid technological change, and while managing all the real-world complexities that come with running a business and a life at the same time.


    She's known for breaking complex technical problems into plain language and practical solutions. Her clients stay because she gives it to them straight and gets the job done.
