The Motivation Factor had its worldwide premiere in Hollywood, CA on May 5th at the Life Fest Film Festival, where it won ‘Best Documentary Feature’ and also won the prestigious ‘Audience Choice Award.’ It also won ‘Audience Choice Award’ and ‘Heart Award’ at the Intendence Film Festiveal in Denver 2017.
This breakthrough documentary film, “The Motivation Factor” covers the ‘why’ we must exercise and links many of our major society’s problems to the absence of real physical education. The crowdfunding trailer received over 50 Million Facebook views and has received national attention. More news on this film can be found on this article and also at the film’s Facebook Page.
Revenue Reserve: because things go wrong. Doug Orchard directed the breakthrough CRE documentary film, Revenue Reserve: because things go wrong (2014). This is the first CRE documentary that takes a comprehensive approach to the investor’s problem. It was filmed in 29 cities with 19 interview subjects. Mr. Orchard tracked hundreds of investors from 2009 through 2013. Multiple billionaire and multi-millionaire investors have labeled it the best film on investing ever made, and a must see for any investor.
The film contains interviews with the most successful private CRE investors in the US, the Presidents of the National Association of Realtors, IREM (Institute of Real Estate Management), NMHC (National Multi-family Housing Council) and CCIM, four asset protection attorneys who handle more asset protection cases than anyone else in the world, and a state insurance commissioner referred by the NAIC.
Truth about Pandemic Flu (2009). Doug Orchard directed this 30 minute film, which was made in cooperation with the CDC, FDA, and former US Health Secretary and 4-term Wisconsin Governor Thommy Thompson.

| 0:00.0 | This episode is sponsored by StationWise, the first staffing software to be truly firefighter proof. |
| 0:07.1 | Now, you may be wondering why I have software as a sponsor when I focus usually on physical and mental health of the first responders, and I will tell you exactly why. |
| 0:17.3 | For the first time, this is a staffing platform that also is able to integrate wellness information |
| 0:24.0 | through call load tracking, exposures and wearables integration. |
| 0:30.3 | Now, of course, station-wise focuses on staffing and allows you to manage staffing, choose vacation |
| 0:36.6 | picks, put in rules for leave and trades, |
| 0:40.5 | and even deploying strike teams. But through the latest programming and AI automation, |
| 0:46.4 | they have streamlined this process to free up battalion chiefs so they can focus on what they're |
| 0:52.0 | supposed to be doing on the operational side and the fireground. |
| 0:55.0 | Now station wise is also able to monitor not only how many calls we've responded to in the shift, |
| 1:01.0 | but the duration of the call, therefore the rest and recovery in between, |
| 1:05.0 | thus monitoring the sleep deprivation that degrades our health and performance. |
| 1:10.0 | It's accessible not only through |
| 1:12.1 | the computer, but also on Apple and Android devices, meaning that you can access it not only within |
| 1:18.0 | the station itself, but outside as well. Now, one of the most powerful features of station-wise, |
| 1:23.8 | in my opinion, is the ability to run reports. Therefore, for example, be able to see just how much money is being used on overtime that could actually be front-loaded for proactive staffing, as well as setting alarms knowing when you are hitting overtime parameters. And another important feature is the integration of other programs and software for payroll, |
| 1:48.2 | training, reports, etc. |
| 1:50.9 | Now, StationWise is trusted by numerous agencies in California, Texas, and Idaho. |
| 1:57.3 | And if you want to hear the full story from the founder who he himself is a son of a firefighter |
