Hi, Champ! Kuya Earl here. I'm the visionary, founder, and CEO of Planet Earl. I'm just a normal guy from a small town in the Philippines that you probably never heard of. Planet Earl started taking shape when I was a sickly kid who spent regular holidays in the hospital every so often. On my deathbed when I was 8y/o, I remember being half-awake and hearing my doctor tell my mom that I might not survive my lung infection. I know doctors shouldn't be emotional, but I can vividly remember my doctor almost teary-eyed with his shaky voice - maybe because he'd been keeping me alive for years by this time. When my doctor left, my mom made a deal with God. She was pleading with God to take her life and spare mine. She said she couldn't lose another kid. For context, my eldest brother had just died in a horrible accident a few months before my critical condition. She was sobbing while saying, "Lord, ako nalang kunin mo. Wag na si Earl. Mamamatay din naman ang puso ko kung kukuhanan mo pa 'ko ng isang anak." Or at least that is what my dying brain remembered. AGAIN, I was just 8 years old when this happened. At 8, I negotiated with God and made a heavenly pact; I negotiated a win-win-win situation with God. See, I'm a good negotiator since I was a baby. LOL Win - spare my mom's life Win - spare my life and give me divine protection Win - I'll be the best doctor in the world, and I will heal people for free (universal healthcare who?!) I guess God liked the guts of a dying 8y/o Earl. He kept me alive. Both my doctor and my mom were cheering 2 years later when I finished my steroid treatment. Since surviving that NDE, I studied so hard that my parents never had to pay for my education. Thank you for all the learnings, Tagkawayan Central Elem. School (TCES) and Our Lady of Lourdes Academy (OLLA). Going to university, I have 7 full scholarship offers across 7 universities and other grants. I graduated with a degree in Cell & Molecular Biology from the University of the Philippines Los Baños at the age of 19 while keeping my R.A. 7687 Department of Science and Technology (DOST) scholarship intact despite being very active in student organizations and volunteer efforts (just check my socials lol). At 20, I became a health research project manager at the DOST-PCHRD Philippine Council for Health Research and Development. At 21, I got promoted to senior health research project manager at the DOST-PCHRD while also being a registered financial planner. At 23, I was the program manager of both Philippine Genome Center and Filipinome of the University of the Philippines Diliman DNA Analysis Laboratory (NSRI-DAL). I also co-managed Newton-Agham: Filipino-UK Joint Health Research Grant. Overall, I was able to get funding for ~₱2B worth of health research during my tenure. At 24, I bought my own house, quit my government job, and went into online dropshipping business of supplements, where I became a top product trainer and got a few national achiever awards. At 26, I married my soulmate and moved to the UK with her. I lost all my clients and my dropshipping business. At 27, I became a Vetted Consultant of ClickUp and started working part-time as a supermarket assistant (barista) at Waitrose Newbury to supplement my consulting income.   At 28, I had to juggle managing an agency in the Philippines, supporting personal clients, working as a part-time food service partner at Waitrose, and studying cross-functional C-suite leadership. At 29, I became a double C-suite business consultant - CMO/CRO and a specialist butcher after being cross-trained on all stations/areas. At 30, I graduated from Rebel Business School, got nominated in World Leaders Summit 2026 under the Visionary Entrepreneur of the year, and got accepted to the Honorary Doctorate in Business Administration Program of Kennedy University Systems under full scholarship, I quit my consulting agency and became the visionary, founder, and CEO of Planet Earl Why am I doing the most? Because I negotiated my life with my creator when I was 8y/o and I'm someone who keeps his word. When I finish life, I only have one goal. For Him to say, "Well done, most awesome and faithful servant. You were a very good steward of your talents and gifts. You're really my #1 negotiator; sparing you was a WIN-WIN-WIN scenario. Welcome to the Pantheon - World's Best Negotiator."

Cindy Witteman’s journey is not just one of success, it’s a story of survival, hope, and unstoppable purpose. She grew up watching her single mother struggle to make ends meet, often without reliable transportation and at times without basic needs. As a little girl, she saw firsthand how something as simple as not having a car could make life infinitely harder. Later, as an adult, Cindy found herself facing unimaginable challenges of her own. Escaping domestic violence and stepping into single motherhood, she carried the weight of raising her daughters while trying to rebuild her life from the ground up. These deeply personal experiences didn’t break her, they built her. They became the fuel behind her purpose. Once she found her footing, Cindy made a promise to herself: if she could rise from her hardships, she would dedicate her life to lifting others up too. That promise became Driving Single Parents Inc., the nonprofit she founded in 2017, to help single parents receive reliable transportation, not just a car, but a chance at freedom, stability, and a future full of possibilities. For Cindy, every vehicle is more than a set of keys. It’s an opportunity for a parent to get to school, secure a better job, and create a new life for their family. Cindy’s passion for helping others shines through in everything she does. She is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of FORCE Magazine, a platform that amplifies inspiring voices and meaningful stories from around the world. The magazine has been a best-seller for every edition released. She’s also the heart behind Little Give TV Show, where she shares real stories of kindness and people making a difference, proving that even small acts can spark big change. A different nonprofit is highlighted in every episode of the show, allowing viewers to see firsthand how transformative support and giving can be. Writing has always been a driving force for Cindy, and she’s also a five-time best-selling author and a nominee for Author of the Year for her raw and inspiring book Beyond the Smile: Bruised Not Broken. Through her writing, she opens her heart to readers, showing them that it’s possible to rise after the hardest falls. Her work hasn’t gone unnoticed. Cindy is honored to have received the Trailblazer Award and two International Impact Book Awards, but what matters most to her isn’t the recognition, it’s the lives that are changed because of it. Her curiosity and desire to dig deeper into life’s big questions led to her thought-provoking podcast, Is Manifesting Bullshit?. The podcast was inspired by a book she co-authored with her two eldest daughters. It challenges listeners to rethink what’s possible, get curious about their mindset, and embrace the idea of seeing things differently. Cindy also brought in four additional authors from around the world to co-author Is Manifesting Bullshit? Part 2: The Limit is YOU, diving even deeper into the power of mindset and transformation. At the core of everything Cindy does is her family. She is a proud mom, stepmom, and Nonna to her big, beautiful, blended family. Her six children and five grandchildren keep her grounded, joyful, and inspired to keep going, no matter the obstacles. They are her “why.” The laughter, the lessons, and the love they share remind her every day that success isn’t just about professional milestones, it’s about creating memories, being present, and leaving a legacy of kindness and courage. If there’s one thing Cindy hopes to leave behind, it’s this: never underestimate the power of a small act of kindness, or as she calls it, a “little give.” Because those little gives can create ripples of change that stretch far beyond what we can see, and they just might change the world.

Writing has always been a driving force for Cindy, and she’s also a five-time best-selling author and a nominee for Author of the Year for her raw and inspiring book Beyond the Smile: Bruised Not Broken. Through her writing, she opens her heart to readers, showing them that it’s possible to rise after the hardest falls. Her work hasn’t gone unnoticed. Cindy is honored to have received the Trailblazer Award and two International Impact Book Awards, but what matters most to her isn’t the recognition, it’s the lives that are changed because of it. Her curiosity and desire to dig deeper into life’s big questions led to her thought-provoking podcast, Is Manifesting Bullshit?. The podcast was inspired by a book she co-authored with her two eldest daughters. It challenges listeners to rethink what’s possible, get curious about their mindset, and embrace the idea of seeing things differently. Cindy also brought in four additional authors from around the world to co-author Is Manifesting Bullshit? Part 2: The Limit is YOU, diving even deeper into the power of mindset and transformation. At the core of everything Cindy does is her family. She is a proud mom, stepmom, and Nonna to her big, beautiful, blended family. Her six children and five grandchildren keep her grounded, joyful, and inspired to keep going, no matter the obstacles. They are her “why.” The laughter, the lessons, and the love they share remind her every day that success isn’t just about professional milestones, it’s about creating memories, being present, and leaving a legacy of kindness and courage. If there’s one thing Cindy hopes to leave behind, it’s this: never underestimate the power of a small act of kindness, or as she calls it, a “little give.” Because those little gives can create ripples of change that stretch far beyond what we can see, and they just might change the world.
