Aristides Priakos, or Ari as his friends call him, has business in his blood. He has worked with some of the biggest names in the financial services industry, and was a bond trader and investment banker for most of his business career. He has now turned his attention to helping others and is a best-selling author. Ari divides his time between speaking engagements, being an entrepreneur, and his philanthropic endeavors.

Previously involved with some of the largest network marketing companies in the world, he started on a path of personal development twenty years ago. He has studied with some of the best success coaches in world, honing his skills. He states, “In this continuing journey, I have learned much about life, love, and people. When I do my workshops and seminars, I tell people that the greatest teachers in the world are also the best students”

Ari has a natural ability to reach individuals on a very deep and personal level. He has developed a very specific set of skills that he utilizes to help people in all areas of their lives. His recent work, “I, Alone! Mastering Life’s Seven Principles,” is the rule book which he follows each and every day. His continuing journey places him in front of people from all walks of life, and his desire is to share his knowledge with others to help them lead a more fulfilling and deserving life. Ari says, “The one thing we must change first is ourselves. We are here to serve others. When we understand how to serve unselfishly we can then teach others to do the same. That is the reward and the prize in life. It is the most fulfilling thing I have ever done and I am always learning.”

When he is not traveling for speaking and training engagements, you will find Ari on the beaches of the world discussing life’s mysteries with complete strangers.
