If you have ever wondered, “are Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler real?”, we have your answer. All you have to do is ask one of the people who attended the Renegade Professional Live Event in Portland, Oregon.
I was fortunate to be recording the testimonials of the participants and over and over again, I heard them exclaim (often through tears of excitement), “Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler are REAL people!”
If you were there then you are probably still buzzing with the excitement (and exhaustion!) from seeing, meeting, and talking to Ann and Mike. They are not only genuine, caring, knowledgeable professionals and experts in building an online business, but you got to also see that they are FUN and very entertaining!
This is the first time the Renegade Professional community has every come together in person and we can tell you firsthand that it was POWERFUL!
Many Renegades have been in communication almost daily, over the phone or through email for years, and just met for the very first time face to face.
There were tears of joy and gratitude, many of which we captured in your inspiring video testimonials. Thank you to those of you who stepped out of your comfort zones and shared your incredible stories of hope and success!
Some of you were in front of a live camera for the very first time. Tears of joy, relief, hope and inspiring stories detailing your most intimate fears and challenges brought us to the realization of how Ann and Mike have impacted each of us.
It is with tremendous gratitude that I thank each of you for your attendance and contributions to this amazing community. I know that I am not alone in saying, Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler are definitely the real deal!

Hi Lisa!
Excellent recap of the weekend! It was very exciting to meet Ann & Mike for the first time. It was also awesome to meet people I’ve been connecting with online. Everyone is more caring, more genuine and more fabulous than I imagined!
I had so much fun. I also learned a lot of phenomenal information to put in action in my business. The speakers were so motivating. They’re all working still, doing the same stuff we’re trying to do. No theory or fluff, real info to use.
I can’t wait for the next event. I’ll work with and learn from Ann & Mike every chance I get.

Hi Lisa,
Great post. Mike and Ann were awesome and so reachable. They are an inspiration to all. I had so much fun and learned so much from all of you. Thank you for taking the video testimonials too. You are great.
Can’t wait til the next event.
Cindy
Lisa,
Not only are Ann and Mike real but so is everyone else that I met in Portland. What an amazing group of people all interested in everyone being successful. Collaboration is the word. 1 + 1 + 1 is not = 3. It is equal to infinity.
You’re so right! After spending a day with them and the whole Marketing Merge team, I felt also that I was real to them too.
There’s nothing like connecting in person at least once a year and this event solidified relationships in a way that cannot be done just by computer or telephone.

I am delighted to be a member of such a compassionate team where the main goal is to compel others to succeed.
I was not at the event but several of my team members, namely Alfons Bemmel and John Rollow were; and the excitement they shared has encouraged us to definitely be at the next event.
Thanks Ann and Mike

Meeting my peers and mentors in person ignited the passion and desire to continue on in this community of worldwide entrepreneurs. We all shared our emotions and knowledge. I experienced the value of giving and receiving and look forward to growing with this wonderful group of Renegade leaders!

Dear Alicia and Lisa,
I am so glad that I got to meet you two incredible women in person. You both are everything I thought you were and a whole lot more!
It was also nice to meet your husbands. The “testimonial” team was one of the most amazing teams I’ve worked with. I learned a lot from all of you about how to be supportive and encouraging. When I did my testimonial, I felt surrounded by people who completely loved and cared about me. I watched others have the same experience when they did their testimonials.
I guess the point of this is that this amazing group of people really is real. They are real in what they teach in business and sales, and they are real in their private lives. They walk their talk.
It was my privilege to meet you two. I look forward to meeting you again and again.
Julia
Dearest Julia,
God bless you! I somehow missed your kind and generous comments and did not respond. You are a delight and I enjoyed every minute spending time with you in Portland. You ask very good questions, giving lots of thought to what you ask, and waiting patiently for feedback. Yes, I loved our ‘testimonial team’ too. Isn’t it a terrific feeling to be in the midst of so much love and support? I can’t wait to see you again, too. Whenever you’re in California, my home is yours!
With love,
Alicia
Hi Alicia and Lisa,
The Live event was an awesome experience indeed. And I’m sorry it took me such a long time to get here and leave my input.
I also loved the Testimonial Team. You made me feel at totally ease and gave the courage to give to speak.
I really appreciated your support.
Sincerely,
Ligia
Dear Ligia,
Welcome! It’s so nice to see you again! I loved the testimonial team too (Lisa, her husband, Peter and my husband, Ben). There is another event coming up next week in Las Vegas (Mark Hoverson and Ann Sieg). Will you be there? I’m arriving late Thursday night. Hope to get to see you again.
Warm regards,
Alicia
