Maurice Elston was born and raised in Kansas City, MO, where his love for writing took root at an early age through music and poetry. In college, a professor recognized his talent, pulling him aside to encourage him to take writing more seriously. However, life led Maurice down a different path—one that took him into the world of sales. Over the years, he built a successful career, coaching and mentoring aspiring sales professionals, helping them navigate their journeys with confidence and skill. Yet, despite his achievements in sales, Maurice carried a quiet, unshakable dream—to become a published author. While he initially considered fiction because of his love to read urban fiction, his personal experiences and deep passion for helping others guided him toward the world of self-help. His mission is clear: to share the lessons life has taught him, offering wisdom, encouragement, and transformation to those seeking growth. "I believe that everything God has allowed me to endure is meant to be poured back into others—to help them become better," says Maurice. Through his writing, he aims to inspire, uplift, and empower people to embrace their own journeys with resilience and purpose.

My name is Natasha Smith, I am the founder and CEO of How to Bloom Inc. where I as a Nutritionist make gourmet, symptom specific, cold-pressed juices, smoothies and teas. My inspiration for my business was my father which propelled me to be the running as Forbes Entrepreneur of Impact 2025. I grew up in and out of doctors offices not understanding what was wrong with me. From the push of my father I took it into my own hands and learned the functions of the body inside and out. My dad noticed my progress and recommended for me to look into the nutrition field. He was a Doctor of Education so he had all of the connections for me to thrive. In the process of doing so he suffered from a terminal stroke and was given one year to live. By changing his diet completely my family and I were able to surpass that diagnosis by 3 additional years. The power of nutrition allowed my father to bloom past his limitations.
