No part of this book may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise, without written permission from the author. ISBN: 978-0-88144-027-0 About Clay lay Clark is the husband of the beautiful Vanessa Lynn Clark, and C the father of Angelina-Lynn Leuba Clark, Aubrey Napoleon-Hill Clark, and Havana Ann Clark. He is the founder of DJ Connection Tulsa, Inc., one of America’s largest disk jockey and mobile entertainment companies. Clay is the cofounder of Tulsa Bridal Association, the cofounder of the Tulsa Bridal Association Wedding Show, the founder of Cherished Traditions videography, the founder of Thompson Photography, the cofounder of Fears & Clark Realty Group, the founder of the Make Your Life Epic Institute and numerous other small-to-medium-sized businesses. Clay serves as the active president of the Tulsa Bridal Association, and he is a member of various chambers of commerce. Always hyper-competitive, Clay believes that his home church (Christian Chapel in Tulsa, Oklahoma) is the best church on the planet. When Clay isn’t managing his business ventures, he serves as a volunteer with Junior AchievementTM, an organization dedicated to educating and inspiring young people by bringing business people to the public-school classroom. Clay has been honored as Oklahoma’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration. He has also received recognition from the Tulsa Chamber of Commerce as the Young Entrepreneur of the Year. Oklahoma magazine has called Clay one of Oklahoma’s “Forty Under 40” for being one of Oklahoma’s top forty business people under the age of forty years old. DJ Connection has been described in Modern Bride magazine as being one of the 150 hottest bands and DJs in the nation and “Tulsa’s number-one disk jockeys.” DJ Connection has also been named v nationally as the “Best of the Best” by WeddingMBA.com. Clay helped found one of Oklahoma’s largest wedding shows, and he has been featured numerous times on Good Morning, Oklahoma for the active role he plays in the Tulsa Bridal Association. At age twenty, Clay was featured on the front page of the Tulsa World business section for his early business successes. Although Clay did not graduate from Oral Roberts University, he does take pride in his co- creation of the infamous “ORU Slim Shady” parody song which led to his dismissal from the college that Richard Roberts himself later was (allegedly) dismissed from. A serial entrepreneur since high school, Clay has created and/or run several successful (and unsuccessful) businesses including: • A consulting business • A chocolate fountain business • An event rentals company • A landscaping business • A t-shirt and graphic design business • A mobile entertainment and disk jockey empire • A professional photography business • A professional videography business • (Although not business related, in 2007, Clay also founded a C-League basketball dream team called the DJ Connection Redbulls. This team managed to astoundingly lose every game before the league went belly up.) Born to Thomas and Mary Clark at St. Francis hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on November 5th, 1980, amidst the Ronald Reagan election. He went on to attend school in the Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, public-school system until the age of twelve. The Clark family migrated north to Minnesota in 1992. It was in Minnesota at the age of sixteen that Clay’s “DJ Clayvis” persona was born. “DJ Clayvicle” graduated from Dassel-Cokato high school with honors and received the prestigious Brown Book award for his excellence in the communication arts, along with a multitude of other scholarships. vi At the age of twenty-eight, Clay has now become a much-sought- after motivational speaker where he showcases his ability to combine education and entertainment. Clay’s passion is empowering entrepreneurs and writing rap parody songs that have been written about in the New York Times. Clay attributes much of his success to his never-ending pursuit of knowledge, the willingness of mentors to share their knowledge (through their books), and his unrelenting optimism. Listed below is a short list of influences on his young business career up to this point. Without their books, their teachings, and their examples, he would certainly not have been named “Entrepreneur of the Year” twice: Andrew Carnegie, Bill O’Reilly, Bishop Carlton Pearson, Brian Tracy, Chester & Chet Cadieux, Clynt Taylor, Clifton Taulbert, Dave Letterman, Glenn Beck, Henry Ford, Herb Kelleher, Jack Welch, Jay Conrad Levinson, Jim Collins, John D.

  • To Whom It May Concern, I Am Writing to You to Express My Concern That
    To whom it may concern, I am writing to you to express my concern that Century II and the old downtown library have been removed from the plan to redesign the look of the Arkansas River in downtown Wichita and will apparently be replaced with smaller buildings and a large green space designed to connect other businesses to the river. I believe that if this plan is carried out and Century II were destroyed, that it would cost the city and her residents a significant economic structure that will not be easily replaced. I feel that the so called need to grow and revitalize often comes with the destruction of our irreplaceable history. Both Century II and the library are historic buildings that many consider permanent structures in the downtown aera. They are both irreplaceable history that will be gone forever! Many Wichitans have grown up attending events at Century II, everything from concerts, plays, comedy specials and graduations. Century II is iconic with the Wichita skyline. When I hear that a “international consulting group,” with no ties to Wichita, has eliminated Century II from their “Riverfront Legacy Master Plan,” then, I must say, they do not have the right feel for Wichita in mind while trying to carry out this job. Many have, just as fond memories of the library, as well, as do I. I understand that there are several plans on the table and while I believe that one calls for the destruction of Century II, my hope is that another will lean toward renovating the building.
