Bio

My Mission in Life is to Empower Others to Help Themselves

Sounds simple, doesn't it? In reality, it's a life-long process. Luckily, I'm not new to this game. As president/owner of my own companies for almost twenty years, I have conducted more than a thousand of keynote addresses, and half and full day seminars, besides acting as a business and personal consultant.

My work is to inspire, teach and motivate others through sharing my story of success and loss, and I how I found meaning. Furthermore, I offer real-world tools that can improve all facets of their lives and businesses.

Achieving Success in Business

From 1990 until 2007 I owned and operated United Pacific Mortgage, a mortgage-banking firm. The unique selling proposition of both United Pacific Mortgage and our second company, Mandalay Mortgage (1997-2007), was the quality of people we hired — and the way we treated them. We created and fostered an extraordinary corporate culture.

Extending this culture to our clients, we achieved amazing results. Our two combined companies, prime retail and sub-prime wholesale, closed approximately three billion dollars in annual loan volume. We employed over 550 employees/loan originators, and generated approximately sixty million dollars in annual gross revenue.

Facing Personal Challenges

Eventually, we made the decision to became a part of Countywide Mortgage, with disastrous results. Watching the business my partner and I had built being systematically dismantled was incredibly painful, and caused endless sleepless nights, depression and anxiety.

As a result I contracted viral spinal meningitis and shingles. Laying in my hospital bed, I thought back on all the success and subsequent failures. I realized that working for a company like Countrywide was taking a personal and professional toll on my life, and that I needed to change direction to put my life back on track.

Since then, I started a new business, Milestone Motoring, using the same philosophy that made United Pacific Mortgage so successful. In addition, I made the decision to share my story with others, in the hopes of helping them face their challenges as I learned to face mine.

My Own History

My parents divorced when I was 10 years old. As a result of my parents' divorce and our family dynamic, a sense of responsibility for those around me has characterized most, if not all of my relationships. These include friends and employees, as well as family members.

Obstacles for me began early. I was diagnosed with ADD at age 6, for which I took Ritalin for many years. Although the medication helped, I was a mediocre student in school — nowhere near the top of my high school class. Yet I won a speech writing and presenting contest, and was the keynote speaker at my high school graduation. I believe my success came from the same techniques that I teach others in my sessions.

Afterwards, I attended a local junior college, but eventually graduated from a California State University with a BA in Communications.

Currently, I live in southern California with my wife of 16 years, Ondrea, and our two children (boy/girl twins).

Testimonials

Randy Wagner

My name is Randy Wagner and I am a mortgage banker in Southern California.

Daryl Wizelman owned United Pacific Mortgage, a company I happily worked at for 13.5 years before striking out on my own. I have had the honor of watching Daryl speak to groups over 250 times in the last 15 years. Daryl has the ability to speak to management groups at the highest level or entire work forces. His topics range from life related issues to the most detailed business related processes. Every time I watch Daryl speak, I am amazed at his ability to make me feel like he is only speaking to me. He is engaging, personable, honest, and real. His need to help and inspire others shines through in every presentation. Daryl's life story is amazing and relatable.

Any opportunity I have to see Daryl speak is an opportunity to see someone who has mastered the art of communication.

Sincerely,
Randy Wagner

Steve Scanlon

To the decision maker reading this testimonial,

My name is Steve Scanlon and I am a coach with Building Champions, an executive coaching firm headquartered in Lake Oswego, Oregon.

I am writing on behalf of Daryl Wizelman who is someone I consider a client, colleague and close friend. Perhaps the closeness of our relationship disqualifies me as an objective character witness, so rather than speak about who Daryl is as a person, I want to address what I have seen him become as a presenter and inspirer of others. I have known Daryl for many years now and have been in the audience many times as he has addressed groups of people. His infectious smile, dynamic personality and strong content will draw in and make a believer of the harshest skeptic. Daryl possesses the "it factor" that so many speakers and presenters strive to acquire. His innate ability to capture a group of people is nothing shy of world-class. I am absolutely confident that the audiences that get the opportunity to hear Daryl's message will be tremendously blessed. I have no doubt that he will be considered among the ranks of the truly great speakers. I have seen speakers from Zig Ziglar to Tony Robbins, John Maxwell to Andy Andrews. I have hired many speakers myself and have truly witnessed some amazing talks. I know that Daryl will soon be a part of this group as his ability to tell his story and electrify a group parallels the very best. I would be more than happy to speak to anyone who desires to hire Daryl to impact their group.

Sincerely,
Steve Scanlon, Coach

Steven G. Kaplan

My name is Steven G. Kaplan and I am the President of Rainstorm Entertainment, Inc. and the Independent Law Group, LLP.

I write this testimonial based on my first hand experience of working with Daryl Wizelman and witnessing his inspirational presentation. I consider Daryl to be someone I consider a client, business associate and a close friend. I hold him in the highest of personal regard. I want to speak to what I have seen him become as a presenter and inspirer of others. I have known Daryl for quite some time now and have participated as an audience member during his presentation. It was a very memorable way to spend a Saturday afternoon. His mannerisms, way of making people feel comfortable, personal story, and openness make his presentation highly effective. With a huge smile, dynamic personality and strong, meaningful content, everyone in the audience that day left with a new depth of understanding of his message. As someone who works in the entertainment business on a daily basis, Daryl possesses that rare "star" quality without the egomania usually associated with it. His ability to inspire and motivate others is of the highest quality and level of effectiveness. I have no doubt that he will shortly be joining the ranks of the truly great speakers. I have had the opportunity to hear and see many terrific speakers and feel strongly that Daryl's ability to recount his own personal story and inspire others to success will make him a greatly desired speaker to groups looking for inspiration from a person they can identify with.

I would be more than happy to speak to anyone who desires to hire Daryl to address their group.

Sincerely,
Steven G. Kaplan, President
