Roberto Cansella

Roberto’s journey began in a quiet, humble town in Sardinia, Italy, where he grew up surrounded by simple beauty, close community, and the deep rhythms of nature. But at just 14 years old, his world was forever changed when he lost his father to cardiac arrest. That loss became the first crack in the shell of his childhood, a wound that would later open into profound personal discovery.

Over the years, Roberto walked a path marked by three pivotal breakthroughs, moments that challenged him, changed him, and ultimately awakened him to a greater sense of purpose. Through these experiences, he not only found healing, but also unearthed a deep desire to help others thrive in body, mind, and spirit.

Kindest Regards,

Jonathan Sirard, My Book Cover Artist & Designer, Beyond His Years Talented

ENGLISH VERSION


Jonathan Sirard is my book cover designer, friend, neighbour, and now colleague. He’s as sharp and talented as they come a true master of detail and custom design. Ever since picking up a pencil at 11, art has been second nature to him. Self-taught and passionate, Jonathan brings everything he touches to life: drawing, painting, sculpting, tattooing, and now 3D modeling.

After nearly five years as a tattoo artist, he honed his eye for detail and his ability to connect with people through custom work. Now, at 19, he channels that same creative fire into designing original 3D models for individuals and businesses ready for 3D printing. He also sells his custom prints directly online. I’ve posted the web address on his profile for anyone who wants to own a piece of his talent.

Whether it’s on paper, skin, or in 3D, Jonathan doesn’t just make art he lives it fully.

Jordan Ryan Molina, Co-founder of The Social Tiger (LinkedIn Organic Marketing Expert)

Meet Jordan – The Guy Who Turned a Speech Impediment into a Sales Superpower…

From the rainy streets of Vancouver to the sunny beaches of Mexico, Jordan’s journey hasn’t exactly been a straight line—but it’s been one hell of a ride. Growing up with a speech impediment, the odds weren’t stacked in his favour to become a communication powerhouse. But Jordan had other plans (and a wicked sense of humour to match). Fast-forward 21 years, and he’s not just “good at sales”—he’s racked up over $12 million in lifetime sales across companies big and small. Now, he’s traded cold calls for ocean views and runs a thriving business right from LinkedIn. Jordan teaches professionals how to use LinkedIn to actually sell—not just collect likes from their high school gym teacher. He offers coaching, as well as “LinkedIn Done-For-You” services for business owners who want results without spending hours figuring out what a “personal brand” even is.
