Sean Vernon (Los Angeles, CA)- "After graduating college in May of 2002, I was left with the task of finding a career. I knew I DID NOT want to sit in a cubicle or work for a tyrant employer, but I didn't really know exactly what I DID want to do. I was introduced to the business in December of 2002 and was instantly intrigued with the idea of managing a branch office. Since that time, TAG has had a tremendous influence on my life. I currently oversee an office in NY, NY. I have learned self-discipline, integrity, and leadership through a training program.

David Wang – I joined TAG shortly after I received my bachelor degree at Azusa Pacific University, and TAG has been my home for past 11 months. What I got the most out of TAG is comfort zone expansion and leadership skills. Before I started working with TAG, I had a hard time communicating with strangers. However, because of the training at TAG, I was able to develop a proven track record of something I fear the most – expanding my comfort zone by talking to business owners on a daily basis. Furthermore, through TAG, I had the chance to be immersed in the teachings by leadership giants such as John C. Maxwell and Stephen Covey daily. The raw business experience TAG provides has equipped me with skill sets such as time and priority management, communication skills, sales, entrepreneurial spirit, and tenacity. I have no doubt in my mind that I can take these transferable skills to the next chapter of my life.
