Founded in 1999, Emerald Coastkeeper is one of 240 (and counting) member organizations of the Waterkeeper Alliance. We are a grassroots organization that monitors four main watersheds in the Florida Panhandle. Our mission is to investigate, educate and protect our right to swimmable. fishable and drinkable water. We believe that healthy waterways are directly connected to healthy communities and healthy people.

 In our four watersheds, you will find many springs, creeks, rivers, bayou’s, bays and of course, the Gulf of Mexico.

 Pollution can happen anywhere, not just from large industries. Some of the greatest concerns in our region stem from residential pollution.

 Some of the more common culprits are septic system failure, erosion and sedimentation, nutrient loading from fertilizers, red tide, heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, (PCBs) lead, mercury, animal wastes, industrial paint source discharge, oil spills, commercial vessel pollution, residential development, and household garbage.

Protecting our waterways and drinking water from contaminants is everyone’s responsibility. We can’t do it alone…we need your help!

Feel free to contact us if you want to volunteer or to report a problem. We look forward to creating a healthy community with you!

As an artist, I express my emotional response to being in a particular place at a particular time.  My work invites viewers to become more than spectators, by re-experiencing the feelings and sensations nature evokes. When exposure light and compositional elements are manipulated, it is to suggest and communicate the energetic forces that pulsate beneath the surface and connect all of life.  When I experience this energetic connection, a deep healing takes place, both physically and spiritually.  Not only do I reconnect with the external natural world, I also rediscover my authentic self as I reflect on what my vision reveals about my internal nature.

Exploring nature is a very meditative experience that helps me understand my place in the web of life.  Although existence and experiences are transitory, the photographic process transforms awareness by focusing attention on what is most significant and enduring.  Capturing moments of genuine connection through photographs makes it possible to preserve and to share these experiences with people who may not have access to pristine natural settings or have lost the ability to connect with the transformational power of nature in a technologically driven society. My images are made situating myself fully within the web of life, instead of standing outside and capturing a subject, and invite others to become more empathetic toward all life forms and to achieve greater understanding of their position in our ecosystem.  This way of being is the foundation of the cultural shift that is necessary to ensure the future viability of the planet.

Water has been important to me for my entire life, and as our rivers and waterways have become increasingly endangered it has become even more of a calling to document them through my photography.  In high school, I got excused from school frequently to go test waterways for changes following big rainstorms and discharges.  In college, I tracked dolphins and assisted in a project analyzing the aesthetic impact of pristine rivers. These days, I take my kayak or hike long distances into the environment to capture the photographs for my current exhibition at the South Florida Museum on Florida’s changing water and other environmental installations.

Drew Pemberton/The Residual Income Pros

Drew Pemberton is a young entrepreneur and specializes in internet marketing and public relations. For the past few years, he mentored under a group of high level entrepreneurs, speakers and mathematicians who conduct live seminars nationwide. Experiencing the many difficulties of traveling all over the country to teach live seminars, he began researching and executing various ways to help his mentors create revenue streams online.

Having had much success working for a few select clients, Drew eventually branched out as a freelancer in digital marketing. Over the last year, he has started his own company (The Residual Income Pros) and along the way Drew has assisted speakers, industry leaders, and business professionals develop new strategies to earn money online using their own unique education and skill sets.

 Even though we live in a world

that is stuck in a paycheck-to-paycheck mentality, I am devoted to helping others create residual income.

 Regardless of your current age, occupation, or 

education, I can help you develop some simple 

tools and techniques that can supplement your current income, or even provide you with a 

professional, primary income.

Is your income active or residual?

Most people focus on earning active/linear income, which is “one-shot” compensation or payment in the form of a fee, wage, commission or salary. This active income comes as a direct result of our efforts. 

 Although there are many people who get paid vast amounts of money to become the CEO of a company, play professional sports, or star in a movie, earning a high active income is not only uncommon, but often is a lot of hard work. It also requires a level dedication that is beyond most of us. Even if you have the dedication it takes, active income is limited because no matter how much money you get paid you still need to show up to work to earn your money. We are essentially trading our hours for dollars.

Residual income is when you continue to get paid after the work is done. This includes recurring income from online courses, webinars, podcasts, and online memberships. It would also include royalties from books, movies, or songs and income that comes from investments in real estate and other businesses where you don’t actually have to be present to earn it. 

Residual income comes from building an asset that continues to pay you after the work has been done. When you live by the rule of recurring monthly revenue, you are living by the Michael Jackson motto, “Record the work once, and get paid forever”. 

“The true key to financial stability and success is…residual income!”
                                 -John C. Maxwell

Pensacola Business Radio: 06.21.16-Guests: Mike Hodges / PGI Certified Consultant, Shannon Addison/Rizing Inc./Breadcrumbz

 Mike Hodges / PGI Certified Consultant

Shannon Addison/Rizing Inc./Breadcrumbz

 

 About Shannon Addison

Shannon Addison is a “work-at-home” mom, military spouse, and mother of two amazing girls. Her mother (who was a teacher for 25 years) inspired her to create a product line that would positively impact the lives of children.

Her mom believed that everyone is given a voice to use for whatever purpose each person intends to pursue. The challenge, she said, was finding a way to use your voice for good. For Shannon, this is her voice.

 Shannon’s Philosophy

Raising girls has provided a lot of insight about what lessons are important during the most critical growth years. Today there are a lot of products on the market that promote self-esteem, but not many that really target self-acceptance.

Throughout this journey with each of the Breadcrumbz, girls are not only shown how to acknowledge who they are with their own shortcomings or flaws, but are guided through a process that suggests how to embrace them and to celebrate the difference they make in their lives.

“I believe that true beauty exists in those things that differentiate us from everyone else. Through the process of developing self-acceptance, we gain empowerment…using the strengths that make each of us unique.”

Shannon Addison

Mr. Mike Hodges

Meet Our Owner

The founder of our company is Mike Hodges. Mike is a Thinking Into Results (TIR) consultant, who is affiliated with the Proctor Gallagher Institute (PGI). The TIR program has helped him combine his experience in contract administration, employee training, sales, and business administration with his passion for personal growth and development.

Mike uses the same tools used by Bob Proctor, an industry leader in personal development. These techniques assist clients with improving their performance in all aspects of life. He customizes his program to fit each client’s unique needs, so they can achieve the results they desire. Individuals will also be able to answer several key questions, such as

Why can’t I achieve my goals?
Why do I progress for short periods of time and then revert to my previous behaviors?
How can I meet and exceed my goals and make lasting, permanent, and positive changes in my life?

Past Careers

Mike holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Frostburg State University and a Master’s degree in Management from Florida State University.  He has spent most of his professional career in the insurance sector in both the government and private sector. Mike has worked as a federal government contract specialist and program analyst, an agent for a private health and life insurance agency, and an office manager for an independent medical practice.

PGI was formed by Bob Proctor, a legendary leader in the personal development industry for over 50 years. Bob Proctor started PGI with his former student, Sandy Gallagher. PGI’s mission is to share the secrets of personal and business growth and development that Bob has showcased during his remarkable career. Mike is proud to be affiliated with PGI as a certified Thinking Into Results (TIR) consultant.

Seminars & Training SessionsLet Mike work with your employees or students. He is available for speaking engagements, seminars, and training sessions. He can work with clients individually or in groups. Contact us today to learn more about his services.


“I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about the program when I started. My “logical” mind had a hard time accepting some of the concepts that Mike presented. But with his guidance (and a lot of patience) I came to understand that the concepts were perfectly logical. Mike was able to connect the “theory” of the PGI principles to real-world application, and in doing so, taught me that all the “logic” that I was holding on to so tightly was a result of several deeply ingrained paradigms that I had developed over the years. Mike has shown me how to free myself from the barriers that I have placed on my own potential, and that it’s actually possible to “re-program” my thinking in order to live a more successful life. This has been a remarkable discovery, and the implications impact every part of my life including work, relationships, and self-image. I will forever be grateful to Mike for walking me through this process, and I am convinced that every person can benefit from his mentorship!”

– Zac M. (Pensacola, Florida)
