Sheryl Morley 

BLACK DIAMOND AMBASSADOR

Almost 20 years have passed since Sheryl Morley joined Youngevity, but she’s as excited as ever about the company and its amazing products. "Youngevity offers something of interest for everyone!" she says. "l continue to share it because it has changed my life in every way possible."

After becoming a distributor, Sheryl gained confidence she’d never had before and built a business that not only provided residual income but also allowed her to help other people build dreams of their own. Thanks to Youngevity, she lost 35 pounds, found peace of mind and became the second person in the company’s history to reach the rank of Ambassador. "l am on a mission to help people realize that there is something out there that can make all their dreams come true," Sheryl says. "l know that there are people who can only hear the message from me, and that is what keeps me going."

Dr. Corey & Adrienne Gold 

Dr. Corey Gold had been practicing dentistry for 12 years when he realized something was missing. He wasn’t enjoying his life. "l was depressed. I was angry. I was doing something I wasn’t passionate about," he recalls. "l saw myself going to work to make money, not bringing value to people." He also wanted to be home with his wife, Adrienne, and their two children while doing something each day that mattered. Less than two hours after being introduced to Youngevity, he decided to change his life.

"When I met the people at Youngevity, I felt a lot of trust and integrity there, which was very important to me," he says. "l have to feel good about what I’m marketing and sharing with other people."

He says it’s important for people to realize that they have options, that the corporate world isn’t the only one. "People have to make a decision to reclaim their own lives," he says. "You can be your own boss. You don’t have to trade your time for dollars. There are so many people in America who feel trapped, and there’s nobody telling them there’s a different way for them, a better way for them. You can be your own boss. You can see your children’s tennis matches."

Dr. Luis Evelia Arriaza 

As children of immigrant parents, Dr. Luis Arriaza and his wife Evelia are testimony to the American dream. They grew up in some of the worst neighborhoods in Southern California and went on to earn advanced degrees, with Luis becoming a doctor of chiropractic medicine. They used their degrees to build a chain of seven chiropractic centers, becoming millionaires just three years after entering the field. They then used their success to train other doctors in that field.

In 2000, their lives changed when they were introduced to the network marketing industry. They fell in love with the concept that in order for them to do well financially, they had to help others do well first. "We approached network marketing as a profession and sought a mentor who could teach us the system," says Dr. Luis.

Within the first year, they became seven-figure income earners, sold their clinics and devoted themselves full time to the network marketing industry. In 2010, they founded True2Life, which led them to align with Youngevity, where they are currently building the fastest-growing team in the country. "We love, live and enjoy life while helping others do the same," Evelia says.

Raymond & Yolanda Brown 

Raymond and Yolanda Brown live to help people succeed by mentoring them every step of the way. As Youngevity’s Trainers of the Year for 2016, they know a thing or two about creating the right attitude and assisting people with the shift from an employee to an entrepreneurial mindset. “If it were easy, everyone would be successful,” says Raymond. “We train people properly so they create a solid business built on rock instead of sand.”

The Brown’s got their start in corporate America, Raymond owning his own office supply firm and Yolanda as an executive with a major credit card company. Joining the network marketing profession helped them leave the rat race. “If you’re looking to better yourself, get a winning attitude about life and have some fun, you want to be part of this profession,” says Yolanda. Raymond adds, “No matter your background or education, everyone starts on a level playing field and can be successful.”

Raymond and Yolanda have worked hard for their accomplishments and acknowledge that the support and vision Youngevity provides makes a big difference. “Dr. Wallach leads by example, and the support of the company allows you to pick your passion,” Yolanda explains. “We get to help people feel like they matter, and it doesn’t get any better than that,” agrees Raymond.

The Brown’s key business tip for ensuring success: You cannot do this alone. Find the right mentor in this business, especially during your first 3-5 years.

Mike & Kate Battistelli 

She was a leading lady. He was an associate director. They fell in love across the spotlights of a Broadway production. But although Mike and Kate Battistelli were successful in the entertainment business, they were looking for a steadier source of income. "When you work in New York in the music and theater business, you get paid quite well, but when the show is over, you’re back on the unemployment line," Mike says. That’s when they discovered network marketing, a choice that has seen them through more than 30 years of success. "This is a great way to level out the peaks and valleys of income," Mike says.

Over their 36 years in network marketing, they had a daughter, who has three children of her own and recently won her first Grammy Award. Now, Mike and Kate are with Youngevity, a company they refer to as "their home." They say they have come a long way since their first company, where they made every mistake you can make and then some. At age 40, they were able to retire and move to Florida, and have since moved twice more—"chasing" their grandchildren and enjoying their lives. "We are back in our happy place," Mike says.
