Meet Walt F.J. Goodridge, ambitious, fun loving and focused. When talking to this 30-something year old you are taken by his intense stare, warm smile, and the fact that he actually listens to every word you say.

Walt is known in self-help circles as the "Passion Prophet," a career coach who helps people discover, develop and profit from their passions. A few years ago he began to realize that there is so much untapped potential out in the world disguised as good employees and at that point he decided to help liberate the masses from corporate servitude.

A native of Jamaica and a graduate of Columbia University, Walt is a former civil engineer who walked away from his career to follow his passion for music, writing, and helping others. As an entrepreneur he has been an artist manager, record label owner, inventor, poet, network marketer and consultant.

He is the author of 10 books including Turn Your Passion Into Profit (Information, Inspiration and Ideas to Help You Make Money Doing What You Love), and owns and operates 6 websites. He is the creator of "Walt's Friday Inspirations", a popular weekly email that chronicles "the thoughts that create success" in rhyme. This email is sent to over 26,000 people who subscribe to his website. Walt has also written for Entrepreneur Magazine and Black Enterprise, and his business building techniques have been featured in Time Magazine, the Dallas Morning News, The Kip Business Report and numerous publications and websites.

Walt is an avid reader, loves traveling around the globe, and enjoys cycling and running. His commitment to vegetarian eating leaves him feeling energetic, playful, and ready to handle all that life has to offer. With all this talk about passions, let’s get an idea what type of lady it would take for him to redirect some of his energy to a relationship. In response, we were treated to a sampling of his poetic style,

“I like a natural beauty
one not caught up in pretense
a vegan like myself,
who's calm and not on the offense

Who doesn't smoke or drink
or seeks to dowse her inner spark
Who gets as high on kissing
as simply walking in the park

Someone who's always growing
who avoids harsh words and strife
who'll step back far enough
to see the humor in this life

Yes, that's the type of woman
I'd be interested to meet
And ah, lest I forget, I'll add
she must have pretty feet!”
