The Ante4autism Texas Hold’em tournament in Las Vegas was founded in 2009 by Doug Krinsky and is now held at the Golden Nugget each January. Doug and his wife Kelly Krinsky founded Beat Autism Now, Inc. a 501 C 3 not for profit organization, in 2008. The Ante4autism event is now part of Beat Autism Now as the main event conducted every year. There is now a Host Committee of 12 individuals from across the country that help organize and run the Ante4autism event each year. Ante4autism was started to raise awareness about Autism and raise money within the home furnishings industry, to help support the needs of the families impacted by Autism. As of February 2020 they have raised $854,917. The proceeds of the event are now donated back to five Autism related charities each year. Ante4Autism has donated to national autism advocacy groups such as Autism Speaks as well as local organizations like the National Autism Association Southeast Ohio chapter. Each charity has their own unique identity. They do many great things to help the families impacted by Autism, such as research into the best therapies and grants to families to help pay for medical expenses.

Everybody knows the world of sales can be tough, and it’s easy to get discouraged when the rejections start piling up, and your customers stop picking up the phone. The wrong thought patterns can start to set in, and pretty soon you aren’t making your quota and are looking through job listings on your lunch break, waiting for the axe to fall. Mark Hunter’s own start in sales was inauspicious, to say the least. He was fired from his first two stints before he began to learn the lessons that he covers in A Mind for Sales. He discovered that sales can be incredibly rewarding, such as when your customers call you for advice, thanking you for improving their business, and letting you know they just referred you to colleagues. The difference is simply developing mindset and momentum habits. The good news is that you can learn how to grow a mind for sales like Hunter’s: "Today, sales is my life. It has gone way past being a job. I do not even see sales as a profession anymore; it is a lifestyle, and one I am proud to be living. I cannot imagine doing anything else."
