Fearless Living
Rhonda Britten - Emmy Award-winner, Oprah guest - is the founder of the Fearless Living Institute, an organization dedicated to giving anyone the tools they need to master their emotional fears, and the author of four national bestsellers including Fearless Living which features her groundbreaking work called the Wheel Technology. During her three seasons on the hit daytime reality drama, Starting Over, Britten was named "America's Favorite Life Coach" and was dubbed Starting Over's "Most Valuable Player" by The New York Times. She is a globally recognized expert on the subject of fear and fearlessness.
In addition to her work on Starting Over, Rhonda has made a difference in the United Kingdom. For two seasons, Rhonda changed people's lives in thirty days on the reality television show, Help Me Rhonda. With two television shows on two continents, Rhonda is shifting the way the world understands fear, and helping millions to transform their lives. She is currently the Life Coach on the upcoming season of Celebrity Fit Club on VH1.
A respected life strategist, Britten is both inspired and inspiring with a pin point ability to see through to the core of the issues at hand and to address them straight on. It is her instinct and intuition, honed over years of coaching private clients, through teleclasses and on her television programs that truly sets her apart. Her spirit and delivery are impeccably delivered in a no nonsense manner resulting in maximum results. Rhonda is adept at creating dynamic action-oriented exercises designed to compliment her simple yet sophisticated "Wheel of Fear" and "Wheel of Freedom" models upon which her work is based.
Rhonda's passion for overcoming emotional fears was born of personal tragedy. She became an orphan at fourteen, when she was the only witness to her parents' murder-suicide. In overcoming the legacy of this terrifying life stopping experience, Rhonda developed the principles and resources that she would later use to heal herself and so many others.
Today, her Fearless Living Institute provides dedicated support, an industry-leading life coach training program, and intensive workshops and presentations for corporations. Her past corporate clients include Southwest Airlines, Blue Shield, Toyota, and Northrop Grumman.

From Rags to Riches to Rags to Riches…
Twenty years ago, Kim Snider, just a few years out of college, went to work for a small computer supplies wholesaler as a clerk in the purchasing department. At the time, they were doing about $36 million a year in sales.
Over time, she rose up through the ranks, ultimately reaching the level of senior management. With each promotion came additional responsibilities and pay. Some of that pay came in the form of stock options.
In January 1995 the company went public.
By then, they were closing in on $500 million a year in sales and would soon reach a billion. At the moment her employer’s ticker symbol crossed the tape for the very first time, Kim suddenly had more money than most people dream of having even after a lifetime of work. She was 31 years old.
She then did the thing that seemed most reasonable; she turned it all over to a broker at a big-name brokerage firm.
Less than two years later, she was dead broke.
She vowed that she would NEVER, EVER again blindly depend on someone else to take care of her money. Kim became focused on one thing, winning “The Great Game of Money.”
TODAY, Kim Snider has taught thousands of people how to be the Family CFO. As the Founder and CEO of Snider Advisors and the creator of the Snider Investment Method®, she is widely respected as a leading expert in strategies for managing economic uncertainty.
Founded in 2002, Kim’s firm was honored as one of the fastest-growing, privately held companies in the Dallas/Fort Worth area by the Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship at SMU’s Cox School of Business. In 2008 and 2009, Snider Advisors was named to the Inc 5000 list of fastest-growing, privately held companies in America. Also in 2009, Snider Advisors was awarded the Five Star: Best in Client Satisfaction for Wealth Managers by Crescendo Research and Texas Monthly Magazine.
Kim is the host of Financial Success Coaching with Kim Snider on KRLD NewsRadio 1080, a CBS affiliate in Dallas/Ft. Worth - the most listened to financial show in the DFW market. She is also the author of “How to Be the Family CFO: Four Simple Steps to Put Your Financial House in Order.”
Kim has been featured in the PBS Special, Finding the Rich Woman in You with Kim Kiyosaki, as well as the Emmy nominated series, Pay It Off, with Dave Ramsey and Suze Orman.

The World Wide Web is riddled with her quotes, including such places as SmartMoney.com, The Motley Fool, Conde Nast Portfolio, CNBC.com and TheStreet.com.
On a more personal note, Kim’s greatest passion is playing polo, which she does competitively. She is a graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder. She lives in Flower Mound, Texas with her husband Jim and her German Shepherds, Dritte and Lexi.
