About Roland van Reenen

Born in 1964 in the Netherlands Roland always had a curiosity for nature and cultural diversity. He is a certified teacher for primary education but did spend 17 years of his life in the music business.

In 1998 he started a career in the organic food industry as the manager of what became in 2000 the very first organic supermarket in the Netherlands. Beside this work he studied the science of ayurveda and different other natural healing techniques.

In 2013 he did discover permaculture and from that moment he was at the beginning of his genesis. In 2015 he moved to Curacao in the Caribbean with a solid mission in his mind: to research how permaculture could make a difference in a drought stricken deforested area. With zero budget he established a food forest around his house and started to give workshops. In the same time he started a weekly organic food subscription for about 80 subscribers bringing organic food direct from the farmer to the consumer.

In 2018 he was personally asked by the minister of agriculture Sra Suzy Carmelia Romer to build up a few permaculture plots for educational purposes. In 2019 he organised for the ministry of Health Environment and Nature a intensive course in syntropic agroforestry with teachers from Brazil. He is still leading a project with the aim of implementing this farming technique in Curacao. In 2019 also he has been asked by the government to become a mentor for the Regenerative Organic Agriculture Program provided by the Maharishi University in Iowa. This week he starts a function as a mentor for a course in hydroponics presented by the University of the West Indies in Trinidad.

He is totally convinced that food forestry as developed as syntropic agroforestry will solve most of our fundamental crises.

About Elizabeth Cordero

Elizabeth Cordero has not traveled an easy road to success and financial security. Elizabeth grew up in Mexico as the youngest born to a single mother. At the young age of 14, Elizabeth and her older sister successfully completed a dangerous border crossing into the United States.

Though she started her life in the U.S. with no worldly possessions no money for food and no ability to speak the language or even knowing the currency of this country, Elizabeth has overcome obstacles that would have caused many to give up — she has achieved financial security and established a multi-faceted set of business profit centers in the state of Utah, which range from a cleaning business to real estate sales, flipping homes, and investment activities.

Elizabeth’s first job in the U.S. was as a housekeeper at hotel her mother used to work at. After a number of these rapid-fire work experience for lack of documents to work in this country and not able to pursue an education for the same reason, Elizabeth began a new approach–as an entrepreneur.

As this company grew, she launched another thriving cleaning service, Elizabeth Business Cleaning, to tap into the lucrative commercial business cleaning market.

As these businesses skyrocketed, Elizabeth expanded her reach and influence progressively–from real estate residential sales to property management, buying and selling homes, and investments in real estate and other projects. Through her business success Elizabeth became a legal U.S. working resident shortly after the 2012 enactment of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy. Elizabeth pursues her profound passion for leadership, real estate and charitable service.

She has an abiding commitment to learning, and has maintained a 3.9 grade point average in her college studies with over 90 credit hours, running a business full-time as she studied. She is an active member of the Salt Lake Real Estate Investors Association, National Association of Hispanic Realtor, Utah Valley Real Estate Investors Association which she is part of the board, Latino Mexicano Institute as Executive Board member, Federaciones de Mexico as an Advisory Board member and has held a real estate license for over 2 years.

She also travels giving conferences in the United States empowering and inspiring others.

When she is able to go to Mexico Elizabeth will embarked on her dream of building a first-of-its-kind orphanage in Mexico that will not only provide the necessities of life for the children it serves; it will also empower them with practical education and training in professional skills, entrepreneurship and other crucial life skills. Elizabeth is today a permanent resident of the United States of America.

Justin Clark, Founder of Veterans Referring Veterans

In This Episode

In this podcast, Rob McNealy interviews Justin Clark, the founder of Veterans Referring Veterans, a veteran owned business directory and networking organization, which advocates for and promotes, veteran owned businesses.

About Justin Clark

“I was born in Aurora, Colorado and raised in Colorado Springs. I absolutely loved what Colorado had to offer but was looking to see the world and serve my country. I enlisted in the Air Force as a F-16 Crew Chief. I was lucky with my first duty assignment being at Aviano AB, Italy. I was deployed often and was able to see many different countries, but more importantly, I learned of the bond that the military family holds. It was while I was stationed in Italy that the attacks of Sept 11th happened and changed our mission and the way Americans were viewed by others. I was deployed to Balad AB, when on my birthday November 1st 2004, I suffered a dual finger amputation. Though this could have been a lot worse, it has been a blessing in disguise as I was able to see the medical side of the war and bring some optimism to others that were wounded as well. Upon returning home from my injuries, life wasn’t the same. Shortly after, I became a full-time single father with two beautiful daughters. Not only was it a struggle to raise my children, but I still had the stressors of being active-duty. I couldn’t have done it without the support of my family, and the military family. I got married to my beautiful wife who has stepped up to be an amazing wife and loving mother of our children, and now our family is stronger than ever.”

Veterans Referring Veterans

“When I was medically retired in 2015, I retired in Colorado Springs and sought employment and an outdoor retail store. Working in that environment, I was in connection with either co-workers, or employees that were veterans as well as many veteran services that would advertise in the store. Even though I enjoyed all of the friendships that I had made in the store, I realized that retail was not for me. I utilized the G.I. Bill and sought after a degree in business. Having such a large military community in Colorado Springs, I was put in touch with more vets that were seeking better employment or were looking to start their own business. My father is a successful real estate agent and I would shadow him as I have always had an interest in real estate. I ended up using some of my military benefits towards getting my real estate license and have found great success in it. While helping people either purchasing, or selling homes, they would always ask if I “knew someone” that could help them with whatever project they needed. They would also ask if I knew if any of my “vet” friends could tackle specific jobs. Although I had met many veterans, I did not have all of their contact information to refer them out. Like me, my clients love to support local business, and when they are veteran owned, that is a major bonus. That’s where this idea for VRV came about, I wanted to have a directory, not only for myself, but for my clients. I didn’t want to have the typical directory website that wants all of your personal information and then the bidders get a hold of you. I wanted a place where the customer could look at a more personal website and get a feel for who they might want to hire. This website also gives the businesses the opportunity to customize their pages to their liking. Through the VRV website, customers are given the businesses contact information, so that they may contact them when they need to. All of the veteran businesses owners have been verified as an actual veteran that owns the business.”
