Part Two

Megafest had two weeks of film screenings, red carpets, films by CSN students, seminars and a life panel at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas July 31-August 3, 2019. Two of the Life Council Panelists were Maggie Cook who shared her story about being born and raised in a Mexican Orphanage to becoming a millionaire and then a motivational speaker. She shared her story from her heart and was admired by everyone. Dr. Robert Goldman, a medical doctor and International Martial Artist and partner to Arnold Schwarzenegger shared his advice and knowledge in how to succeed in life. Dr. Goldman donates 80% of his time around the world doing charitable work. He is a wonderful human being who definitely cares about people. He will once again host the Icon Awards at the Black Tie Award Dinner.
