Julie & Simon on Never Giving Up. The following is, as always, a true story and tells of a legal battle Julie and I have endured and kept private over the last year. The details of the legal issue aren't important; the moral of the story is. Please feel free to share with your friends and family.

Being Bullied, a true story & film producer wanted. Being Bullied is a true story, and one that I am looking for a producer to bring the story to the screen. It is based upon the award-winning book From Bullied to Black Belt and the sequel, An Everyday Warrior. We would also like a producer who can help raise funds to make the film.

Words of Hope, Courage & Patience

Our Truths Count. What we do, how we conduct ourselves, how we strive for our goals, and how hard we work all tell our truth. In this short talk, Simon tells of his truths and what he does to make them count.
