Join me, Corine La Font, Host of Between The Lines with Burton Hughes.

Burton Hughes grew up tired of hearing the words, “That’s not for you,” that were so often uttered when he sought to escape his impoverished upbringing. He was a child who had endured so much that he had very little hope of getting out of his tragic and tumultuous environment. And the statistics were grim.

Witnessing the near murder of his mother, only to be thrust into unfathomable grief when he lost his older and revered brother – “stole his air.” But the inner mettle and strength in Burton wouldn’t die. He knew at a young age that he had a quality he couldn’t yet identify residing in him. It was hope, and the relentless and deep knowledge that more was out there also gave him the push he needed to escape his old life and reinforce that he would finally decide what was for him or not. Coupled with a never-say-die work ethic, fierce intellect, and literal model good looks, Burton wasn’t comfortable with his gifts.

Then one horrific day, he almost lost it all. His life hung in the balance. The lowest point of his life taught him how much he had to live for: that he was called to have more in life and that people were out there waiting for him to lift them up to find their own liberation and success.

Fueled by his discovery of the Six Assets of Alignment, Burton dismantled the logic of the work-life balance concept, instructing his clients instead in the art of aligning the six major assets of their lives most needing cultivation. The Assets of Mindset, Faith, Family, Fitness, Finances, and Network require varying levels of attention, according to the goal-plan devised. He lives by the Six Assets of Alignment every day and encourages people to follow his lead, knowing their own personal brand of success is waiting for them.

After implementing the Six Assets of Alignment into his life, he empowered himself to establish various businesses, modeled for multiple media outlets, and coached clients in reaching their elite life goals. He continues to strive for greatness every day. 

His book, Align Your Empire: Using the Six Assets of Alignment as a Catalyst to Ignite Your Life is out now. https://burtonhughesofficial.com/   

Burton and his family, including his three adorable daughters, live in Dallas, Texas.

Join me, Corine La Font, Host of Between The Lines with Courtney Marchesani.

Marchesani first became aware of her own gifts when her intuition prevented a fire in a Seattle brownstone. A “raw gut feeling” made her insist she and a friend return to the friend’s apartment just in time to find a candle about to alight a bamboo shade.    Now a coach, teacher and health advocate with a master’s degree in mind-body medicine, she has spent the last 20 years passionately exploring the research gap that exists between what medical science believes and what the gifted sensitive feels. She provides an enlightening ride through early to now-emerging science on sensitivity and the abilities of the highly sensitive. With interpretation of what this means for you today!    Courtney paints a clear picture of how to claim your “specialness,” for yourself and the good of mankind. But also how to live with and adapt for your tendencies, so that you can embrace them and thrive at peak quality of life.
