Phoenix, AZ – WBEC-West is proud to announce the official launch of its 22nd Annual Procurement Conference, taking place October 7–9, 2025, at the beautiful Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort in Phoenix, Arizona.
Salt Lake City, UT – International branding strategist and renowned keynote speaker Rey Perez, affectionately known in entrepreneurial circles as Google’s #1 global branding expert, has officially relocated his business headquarters from the vibrant city of Miami to the scenic mountain landscapes of Salt Lake City, Utah. His arrival hasn’t just added another high-profile leader to the area—it’s sparked a powerful shift in the local business and personal development communities.
Within just a few months of his move, Rey Perez launched two powerhouse live events that are already being called transformational by attendees. His unique ability to blend actionable strategies with compelling storytelling and community engagement is raising the bar for what business events can achieve. His first Utah event, Brand In 2 Days, delivered a high-level, all-inclusive experience designed to support entrepreneurs, speakers, coaches, and small business owners in defining, building, and elevating their personal and professional brands in just 48 hours.
This immersive workshop included professional photo and video shoots, group brand coaching, digital asset creation, and visibility strategies—all carefully orchestrated to position each participant as a market authority. Entrepreneurs walked away not just inspired, but with a fully built personal brand they could immediately launch.
Hot on the heels of that success, Perez co-hosted the second major event, Speaking & Sales Mastery, alongside legendary Hall of Fame speaker, Best Selling Author and one of the top motivational speakers on the planet Dan Clark. Held over 3 days, this transformational experience focused on supporting entrepreneurs in sharpening their story-selling techniques, developing commanding stage presence, and mastering lead capture strategies—skills vital to anyone who wants to increase their income and impact through the power of speaking and live presentations.
Both events sold out and drew glowing reviews from a wide range of professionals—from aspiring influencers and authors to seasoned coaches and business leaders. “This was beyond anything I expected,” said one participant. “Rey and his team don’t just teach branding—they live it. I walked in with ideas, and I left with a game plan in motion.”
Due to overwhelming demand, both events will be returning to Salt Lake City in September 2025, with expanded capacity, enhanced content, and new surprise guest speakers. Entrepreneurs from across the U.S. and beyond are already signing up to secure their spots.

Rey Perez is not only a sought-after speaker—he is the founder and CEO of AMP Your Brand, a global branding and marketing agency that has over 20 years of experience supporting business leaders and influencers in scaling their visibility and influence. Rey and his company have worked with some of the biggest names in the industry, including motivational icon Les Brown, Shark Tank original Kevin Harrington, and Chicken Soup for the Soul co-creator Jack Canfield. These collaborations have positioned Perez as a trusted expert in the high-performance and entrepreneurial space.
However, Rey Perez’s work is not just about building businesses—it’s about building legacies. A passionate advocate for social impact, Perez ensures that each event contributes to something bigger. A portion of the proceeds from all events supports Influence With Love, a nonprofit organization dedicated to equipping underserved youth with education in leadership, entrepreneurship, and mindset development. This initiative gives young people the skills and confidence they need to change their futures—and their communities.
“As entrepreneurs, we have the ability—and responsibility—to lead with purpose,” Perez shares. “My events are about more than personal success. They’re about creating ripple effects that extend far beyond the stage. We’re not just growing businesses—we’re building a legacy of impact that will touch lives for generations to come.”
Known for his high-energy presentation style and high-conversion brand strategies, Rey Perez has worked with thousands of entrepreneurs and small business owners around the globe. His clients include best-selling authors, keynote speakers, nonprofit leaders, and million-dollar CEOs who turn to him to clarify their brand, amplify their visibility, and scale their influence.
Perez’s relocation to Utah signals a new chapter, not just for his company but also for the state’s business ecosystem. “Salt Lake City is full of untapped potential,” Perez explains. “There’s a hunger here for authenticity, community, and purpose-driven growth. I’m here to support that.” We also just had a baby girl and it’s a great place to raise a family!”
Whether a local entrepreneur or a business owner traveling from across the country, the upcoming September events will offer a rare opportunity to experience high-level branding and speaking mentorship firsthand. Registration is now open, and spaces are limited.

Healthcare advocate and Global Wellness Expert Ann Law, BSN, FNP, is preparing to launch her latest book, “The Law of Wellness: A Comprehensive Guide to Achieving Ideal Weight and a Lifetime of Health and Wellness,” which promises to shake up the wellness world with a no-fuss, results-oriented approach to real health transformation. Scheduled for its upcoming release, the book is already drawing buzz across both the medical and personal development communities.
In a world overwhelmed with conflicting health advice, fad diets, and Instagram wellness trends, Ann Law’s message cuts through the noise: real health is accessible to everyone—and it starts with making small, consistent changes.
Law’s new book is built on decades of front-line experience as a family nurse practitioner, health educator, public speaker, and advocate for preventive healthcare. Her guidance isn’t based on theory or fleeting trends. Instead, it’s rooted in science, compassion, and real-world application. The Law of Wellness distills her knowledge into easy-to-follow principles that anyone can apply—regardless of age, fitness level, or lifestyle.
Unlike typical wellness books that require a complete life overhaul, this guide offers straightforward food guides, practical fitness routines, and mindset strategies that fit into a busy life. Whether juggling work, family, or just trying to stay afloat in a fast-paced world, Law’s message is empowering and achievable.
“This book is for real people living real lives,” Law says. “You don’t need a perfect schedule, a private chef, or a gym membership to improve your health. You just need the right tools and the willingness to take one step at a time. That’s what The Law of Wellness is about—small changes that add up to big results.”
The book is especially targeted to adults aged 30 to 65+, a group often overlooked by mainstream fitness culture. These are the people in the thick of their careers, managing households, aging parents, or chronic stress—and they’re often the ones who need wellness support the most.
In addition to physical health principles, food and fitness, Law also dives into a toolbox of mindset principles to achieve lifetime health, as well as any other goals one may have.
Law, in collaboration with a board-certified Preventive Care Physician, Tilda Doscher, MD, will conduct Wellness Weeks and Wellness Weekends at resort locations, offering an educational vacation and an immersive, comprehensive health and wellness experience.

Don Hanifin discusses how life insurance fits into retirement
Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/interview-with-don-hanifin-founder-of-dh-retirement-solutions-discussing-how-life-insurance-fits-into-retirement/
In this episode of Influential Entrepreneurs, host Mike Saunders welcomes Don Hanifin, the founder of DH Retirement Solutions. They delve into the often-overlooked role of life insurance in retirement planning. Don shares his 30-year journey in the financial services industry, starting with long-term care at GE and focusing on safe, guaranteed financial solutions for his clients. He emphasizes the importance of ensuring a dignified aging process and the peace of mind that comes from securing one’s financial future.
Life insurance is often viewed solely as a financial safety net for loved ones after one’s death. However, its importance extends far beyond that, particularly in the context of retirement planning. In this discussion, we will explore how life insurance can play a crucial role in ensuring financial security for dependents and fulfilling long-term responsibilities.
One of the primary functions of life insurance is to provide financial protection for dependents. This is especially important for individuals who are in the early stages of their careers, for instance,
If a young professional has taken on a mortgage or has children with education costs, life insurance guarantees that these long-term responsibilities can be fulfilled.
Life insurance is often perceived merely as a financial safety net for loved ones after one’s death. However, as discussed in a podcast episode featuring Don Hanifin, life insurance can play a significant and multifaceted role in retirement planning. Here’s an expanded look at how life insurance fits into a comprehensive retirement strategy.
TERM insurance is the product of choice in early years at it provides the most leverage, the lowest cost and pure death benefit coverage. Select your term insurance from a company that offers strong conversion options as this will ensure your ability to convert some, or all of your term policy to a PERMANENT insurance policy when your income permits, without health underwriting. The most important part of permanent life insurance (Whole Life, Index Universal Life, etc…) is that over time these policies build tax-advantaged cash value that can be accessed while you’re still alive. If properly designed, a permanent life insurance policy can build a financial nest egg that may be accessed tax-free in retirement, quite possibly lasting your lifetime.
Don emphasizes the need for contingency plans, highlighting that life insurance is not just about assuming one will reach retirement age. It’s about preparing for the unexpected. This proactive approach allows individuals to ensure that their life missions—such as raising a family or achieving financial independence—are completed, even if they pass away prematurely.
Don shared: “I work more toward making sure that whatever you started in your life, you’re able to complete and you are able to age with a quality, with a sense of decency and dignity wherever you choose to do that”

Living retirement to the fullest requires far more than merely reaching a certain age; it demands proactive planning that begins long before the official retirement date. Key pillars include optimizing income streams, controlling expenses, and positioning portfolios to weather market volatility while minimizing tax liabilities. By addressing these elements early, individuals create a pathway to enjoy retirement with greater peace of mind.
A significant component of proactive planning is managing taxable income in retirement. Register points out that understanding the tax impact of each withdrawal and investment decision can dramatically extend portfolio longevity. By coordinating withdrawal sequencing with tax-efficient vehicles—such as Roth conversions and life insurance-based strategies—retirees can retain more of what they have earned and reduce the drag of taxes on their generational wealth. Ultimately, thoughtful planning allows families to focus on what matters most: enjoying life and leaving a lasting legacy.
Capsur Tax and Estate Planning tailors its strategies to each client, ensuring a customized experience designed to achieve long-term financial goals. Through a collaborative process, Register guides clients through crucial decisions that affect future generations, making comprehensive planning an empowering and confidence-building experience.

Terry Register discusses highlights of tax planning for future generations

Terry Register, CEO of Capsur Tax and Estate Planning. Terry dives into the crucial topic of legacy planning and the importance of preparing for future generations. Terry emphasizes that while many focus on saving for retirement, it’s equally vital to ensure that what remains after one’s passing is secured for heirs. The discussion highlights how tax planning plays a pivotal role in this process. Terry addresses the discomfort many feel when discussing death and inheritance, and offers insights on how to approach these conversations effectively. Tune in to learn how to make your legacy a priority and ensure your family’s financial future.
Legacy planning is a vital component of financial management that ensures your heirs are not burdened with unexpected tax liabilities and can fully benefit from the assets you leave behind. In a recent podcast episode featuring Terry Register, CEO of Capsur Tax and Estate Planning, several key considerations were discussed that can significantly impact your family’s financial future.
A primary concern in legacy planning is the potential tax burden that heirs may face when inheriting assets. Terry emphasizes that many individuals are unaware of the tax implications associated with inheritance. For instance, when someone passes away, the government often requires heirs to pay taxes on the inherited assets within a specific timeframe—typically just nine months. This can lead to unexpected financial strain, especially if heirs are unprepared for the tax bill.
To mitigate this risk, proactive tax planning is essential. This includes understanding how different assets are titled and the potential tax consequences of transferring those assets. For example, if a parent intends to pass down a house, it is crucial to consider how that property is titled and its current market value. Without proper planning, heirs may find themselves needing to sell the property to cover tax liabilities, which can diminish the legacy intended for them.
Terry also highlights the importance of asset protection in legacy planning. Many individuals may not realize that certain assets can be vulnerable to government claims, particularly in the context of long-term care or nursing home expenses. For instance, if one spouse passes away and the surviving spouse needs to enter a nursing home, the government may require the surviving spouse to “spend down” their assets before qualifying for assistance. This scenario underscores the need for strategic planning to protect family assets from being depleted by unforeseen expenses.
Engaging with an elder care attorney can provide valuable insights into how to structure your assets to safeguard them for future generations. By understanding the legal landscape and potential pitfalls, you can create a plan that ensures your heirs receive the maximum benefit from your estate.
Another critical aspect of legacy planning discussed in the episode is the use of life insurance policies that offer living benefits. Many people view life insurance solely as a death benefit, but modern policies can provide significant advantages while the policyholder is still alive. For example, certain life insurance products allow for tax-free cash growth and access to funds for long-term care needs without requiring a separate long-term care policy.
Terry points out that many individuals may not realize the full potential of their life insurance policies. By reviewing and possibly restructuring these policies, you can ensure that they not only provide a death benefit but also serve as a financial resource during your lifetime. This can help alleviate the financial burden on your heirs and ensure that they are not left with unexpected costs.
In addition to protecting your family’s financial future, legacy planning can also include charitable giving strategies. Establishing donor-advised funds or charitable remainder trusts can provide tax benefits while allowing you to support causes that matter to you. These strategies can help reduce the taxable estate and ensure that your philanthropic goals are met, all while benefiting your heirs.
Terry shared: “From growth-stage companies to legacy family enterprises, we bring proven strategies that align business planning with personal financial goals—because we understand that for most owners, business is personal.”
For instance, as Terry illustrates with a case study, a couple with significant stock holdings can structure their estate in a way that maximizes benefits for both their children and their chosen charities. By strategically donating appreciated assets, they can avoid capital gains taxes and create a lasting impact on their community.

In today’s high-stakes, fast-moving world, Gen Z professionals are expected to think clearly under pressure, communicate with confidence, make fast decisions, and lead without a title—yet these are skills no one teaches. Most are told to “speak up,” “take a leadership workshop”, “communications course,” or “just be confident”. And when the stakes are high—whether it’s a team meeting, a performance review, or a moment to assert themselves—motivation and theory aren’t enough.
