Who We Are
We are: Jimmy Kossert, Mary K Weinhagen and John Milton Fogg. Here more about each of us.
_____________________________
Mary K Weinhagen grew up in the 50′s and 60′s, the second oldest in a family of 7 with a father who worked in their small family business. Watching her dad gave Mary K her free spirit and entrepreneurial mindset.
She raised three children as a single parent applying her degree in Child Psychology to owning and operating her own licensed childcare center for 25 years. She learned a great deal from children about the naturally joyful state of human beings, and from their parents about the unnatural stifling of that joy.
In 1995, Mary K attend her first opportunity meeting after convincing her brother-in-law that she really wanted to know more about what he was doing. Being a single parent, there wasn’t going to be a second income to support her family of four unless she found another way to provide that herself. With it’s flexibility and concepts of leveraging time and effort, Network Marketing provided the perfect solution!
In 2003 Mary K sold her house and childcare business and has since focused full-time in Network Marketing.
“With many friends getting close to retirement age who have no desire to give up their lifestyle, I know that Network Marketing— which provided me the perfect solution as a young mother with three small boys— shines brightly again as the most natural solution to the economic realities facing baby boomers today.”

Jimmy Kossert was born and raised in Renton, Washington and has spent his entire life in the Pacific Northwest. His parents went through an “ugly divorce” when he was just six years old and he grew up with his mom and 2 sisters. By his own admission, Jimmy grew up poor. His mom worked for Boeing struggling to support their family as there was no child support.
Jimmy was an entrepreneur at an early age. He made a deal with the local Bartell drug store to collect all their discarded cigar boxes and turned around and sold them to his elementary school classmates. He had a newspaper route that made $30 a month, grabbed a more lucrative route and leased his old one to another kid for $15 and pocketed $15 for himself.
From the time Jimmy was 15 years old, he spent the summers going up to the Alaska for two and a half months working on a commercial salmon fishing boat. When he turned 19 he enrolled at a community college. Did that for a year and a-half, but decided that college wasn’t his thing. Jimmy continued fishing for a number of years until he got his real estate license and started selling and investing in properties. He bought his first house when he was 18 years old.
It wasn’t until 1983 that Jimmy was first introduced to Network Marketing. What got his attention most was the concept of leverage— looking at the possibilities of, “Could I find five and help those five get five?” It wasn’t until later that he started reading and hearing stories of ordinary people: truck drivers, of mattress salesmen, stay-at-home moms, really hitting the pinnacle of success… Of making money and living the dream of financial dream and time freedom.
And that’s just what Jimmy did. At the height of his career, Jimmy Kossert was earning more than $3 million a year from his Networking business. Jimmy left Network Marketing a number of years ago, but like many super-successful leaders who retire, the business was in his blood. He’s back with a brand new company starting again from scratch.
“I think the best thing about Network Marketing is being able to spend time with your kids. Being able to watch them get on the bus every morning to go to school. Being able to be home when they got off the bus. Being able to go to their teacher-parent conferences during the day. Being able to go to their soccer games. You can’t put a price on that.
Being able to afford the nice things, clothes, braces, tennis shoes, trips. Awesome. It’s been a good journey. It’s just flat out fun. There’s nothing like it. That’s why I’m doing it again.”
John Fogg calls Jimmy Kossert one of “The Greatest Networkers in the World.”
