About Us!

My name is Stephanie and I live on the Big Island of Hawaii. I started this blog, and am happy to share the information I find with our growing team, as well as help promote them and their businesses. I’ll start by sharing a little background about myself and my goals.
Originally I’m from the East Coast, where I grew up and went to college. After that I moved to Los Angeles, where I worked for 10 years in the entertainment industry as a special effects artist. I used to build monsters, puppets, and props - it was fun, but very tiring!
After I met my husband, also in entertainment, we decided we’d both had enough of the rat race. A deep love for the islands set us on our path to Hawaii. After four years of running a small business, my husband decided to move on to new projects which often take him away on business.
I’m also a long-time author, blogger, and spiritual/political activist. I write under a pen name but I’ve been outspoken against the status quo for a long time. This isn’t the first direct marketing company I’ve joined; it’s just the first one I’ve passed along. I buy my cosmetics, toiletries and cleaning products from alternative companies – not just because their products are unique and much healthier, but because I know that some of my money is going to people I love.
I’ve always been a believer in walking the walk. If I’m going to speak out against the abuses of the little people in our world, I’m going to put my money where my mouth is and stop giving money to the evildoers. I believe this type of business structure is far more in line with the free enterprise economics our country was founded on in the first place – wealth and opportunity for all, not just an elite few. I’m particularly excited about how direct marketing can bring income to charities and nonprofit organizations; this is a great way to bring the ‘people helping people’ idea to the next level in the 21st century.
If you like what you see here, please send me or any other team member an email! I’m spending a lot of time on this and can tell you the tech news surrounding VoIP is just astounding. It’s being talked about all over the place right now, and pretty soon, it will become as widespread as microwave ovens and cell phones. The next 24 to 36 months are going to see a LOT of news about VoIP as millions and millions households and businesses switch over. As far as telecommunications go, it’s the logical choice - and the cheapest - as the rest of the world is already connected online. Let me tell you more about it, and about this unique opportunity with Liberty International. I want us all to take part in the coming telecom revolution – and maybe even start to change the very nature of the distribution of wealth in this country.

Hawaii’s story
Liberty International first came to the Big Island of Hawaii around May of 2007. Before that, their VoIP market had only been presented to southern California and Chicago to a great extent. So we are VERY fortunate that Tanya Aynessazian, who had come from a successful business career in Chicago, moved back to Puna with her family, along with this new opportunity. You probably don’t know that Puna is one of the lowest rent districts in the nation; perhaps the poorest area in the whole of our state. Tanya was also tenacious enough to get J.R. Read, one of Liberty International’s founding members, to come out and train her; he fell in love with the place (who wouldn’t!) and he’s still here today, busy training and supporting the members of our little community. What a stroke of luck for a place where for the most part, Hawaii’s own people can barely afford to live here anymore with the rising costs of real estate and taxes.
Within 90 days, in PUNA ALONE, MIND YOU, they’d generated a half a million dollars in sales and paid out over $300,000 in bonuses and commissions. It’s just getting to Kona now, where I live, and I know it will quickly spread to Oahu, Maui, the other islands and of course…the MAINLAND! If you live on the mainland, please understand VoIP is going to transform the landscape of telecommunications in the next 24 months. This isn’t selling vitamins or bath oils - this is a UTILITY that EVERYONE will have. And the market is still WIDE OPEN in most areas. GO GRAB IT!! Put your fears and old business paradigms aside. You may not have this opportunity again in life.
The Man in the Flood (or, the Helicopter Story)
There once was a man whose house was in the middle of a great flood. Slowly the waters rose, until he was forced onto the roof. He prayed to God, saying, “Oh, Lord, I know you’ll save me! I have faith!”
The waters continued to rise, but soon a neighbor rowed by in a canoe. “Jump in,” he yelled, “I’ll take you to safety!”
“No, that’s ok; God is going to save me!” said the man.
The waters rose even more. A little later the Coast Guard motored and offered, “Come with us! You’re going to drown!”
“No thanks; I have faith in God. He promised he’d save me!” said the man. He continued to pray.
The waters rose until the man could barely stand on his roof. Just then a helicopter flew overhead, a rope dropped down and the loudspeaker called, “grab the rope! You’ll be swept away!”
“No, I’m going to be saved! You go on ahead!” the man yelled back.
Soon after the man was swept away, and he drowned.
In heaven, the man talked to God. “What happened? You promised you were going to save me!” he cried.
“I did! I sent two boats and a helicopter, but you wouldn’t come!” God replied.
Are you missing the signs? Is the Universe trying to tell you something, but your doubts and fears won’t let you see? Pay attention and recognize opportunity when it finds you.











Hi Stephanie,
This is Peter Wu and my wife and I are up in Waikoloa Village. We used to live in Kona and moved here from No Cal back in 1999. I see there is a presentation at your home this week. Debbie and I plan to attend and look forward to meeting you and your husband and working together to build the West Hawaii branch of Liberty International.

Hi there Stephanie - Chris O’Leary sent me to this blog of yours (VERY NICELY DONE). I was JUST deciding to head into the world of blogging (I’m a Realtor and am told it’s a must now) when this opportunity came by. I’m hopeful it’s okay that I share your site with my people. Best wishes for much success! Aloha, Julie
