The rise to the top is full of twists and turns. Listen as Misty Bolt, an insurance broker whose brand, Medicare Misty, is synonymous with Medicare. She is an author, in-demand speaker, has her own cooking show, talk show, magazine and radio show. She is a true marketing innovator.

Misty’s college aspirations were in the psychiatric field, but she quickly realized her interest and strength was business. She earned her marketing and sales chops at Enterprise Rent a Car, where she learned how to build and operate a business. Her dream job was to be a pharmaceutical rep, yet her inability to score a position was the best course for her future. Misty entered healthcare at Unum, selling long-term care insurance. After a layoff from the insurance industry, Misty started a company focused on providing consumers and businesses with options for health insurance coverage at one small room in a church to an extensive network of 50 agents serving people across the United States.

• Misty shares her wisdom in reinvesting in the business for optimal growth and how to persevere during hard times.

• How she pivoted during COVID to continue working with people during lock down.

• How she managed to juggle her son’s needs when she was growing a business as a single mother.

• When facing her son’s brain cancer, how her investment in her team allowed her to take four months off to care for her son.

The rise to the top is full of twists and turns. Listen as Doris Collier, an actor and President/CEO of Magic Feet LLC, shares the secrets to her success with seven films and one TV series to her credit, Founder of an international brand, and Chair of the board for Raising Dreamers.

Doris is married to an Emergency Room physician. In 2005, he related a story of how many people he cared for were suffering from back pain due to standing on concrete during their work shift. That simple conversation sparked an idea for Doris to find a solution that would ease the pain of these workers. Doris went on to found Magic Feet LLC, and the brand is now sold in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico.

Even though Doris was a busy executive, she felt the pull of Hollywood and has acted in The Colors of Emily, The Borrowed Christmas, College Bound: Window of Hope, Certificate of Completion, Saving Faith, One by One, Real Love, the Dream Motel, and more.

Doris is a woman of deep faith and is chairing the board of Raising Dreamers Ministries, traveling the country to give opportunities for women to deepen their faith and experience spiritual growth in all areas of their lives.
