SPOTLIGHTS: Newest Team Leaders Jared Chadburn & Nathan Fowers
Jared Chadburn
When 23-year-old Jared Chadburn took the plunge and became a Synergy Team Member 4 months ago, he never thought he’d advance so quickly in the business. He hit Team Leader in December 2014 and hopes that the goals he has set for himself since will propel him toward qualifying for Leadership Academy in July.
After attending a number of trainings and engaging in multiple inspiring conversations with his sponsor Brent Burnett, Jared felt he would have the support he needed to try his hand in the direct selling industry. He has found that his character strengths are accentuated as a Synergy Team Member. Jared thoroughly enjoys initial contacts—learning people’s stories and what makes them tick. By engaging with people and showing his genuine interest in their lives, he has been able to build his Synergy team.
Jared is one of more than 100 people who are currently embarking on the SLMsmart 90-day Challenge journey. Looking healthy and feeling healthy are completely different things, Jared said, and his journey with SLMsmart is all about feeling healthy, improving his stamina, and having more energy.
“I have a lot of friends who work at organic stores, but practice unhealthy behaviors on the weekends,” Jared said. “My purpose in this is creating a healthy way of life.”
Synergy helps Jared maintain more than just his physical health, it pushes him to concentrate on his social health. He said the daily interactions he has with acquaintances and friends about health, wealth and setting goals, is uplifting and rewarding. He hopes to be a positive force in the lives of dozens through Synergy.
“There are people who make it happen, people who watch it happen, and people who wonder what happened,” Jared said. “You lead, follow or get out of the way. The way you treat people will mirror which of these you are, but you have to have massive action. It’s valuable to me to have this on a resume and tell a future employer that I don’t need to be told what to do to know what to do.”
Jared’s fast-growing success proves that anyone in any age group with the right attitude can create their own success, and Synergy WorldWide is the perfect avenue to do just that.
Nathan Fowers
In the last three years, Nathan Fowers turned his life upside down—in a good way. He has worked tirelessly to overcome some of his own mental and physical challenges to not only become a Synergy Team Leader, but a happier, healthier human being. Those who knew Nathan before his inward and outward transformation may not even recognize him now.
Nathan, who was once introverted and afraid to approach people he didn’t know, sponsored four people with Synergy in September after joining the company in August. Thanks to the training he received from his sponsor Brent Burnett, Nathan continued to improve in 2014, signing up 8 people in November and 16 in December.
“Everything seems scary before you do it,” Nathan said, “and it’s scary while you do it, but if you do it anyway it becomes less scary. I started with my family because that wasn’t scary, then I started going to friends and then people I didn’t know. Something turned on after a training I went to and I was hungry for success.”
During his metamorphosis, Nathan lost 55 pounds by committing to a healthier lifestyle and his journey toward optimum fitness is continuing with the SLMsmart Challenge.
“I want to take my health to the next level,” he said. “I want to see what SLMsmart can do for me, get as strong as I can, and strengthen all of my weak areas.”
While Nathan may have not have the stereotyped personality of a salesmen, his sincerity and concern for others plays to his benefit in a big way. Nathan’s sponsor tells him that he is the guy who helps people find what they are looking for. Now, Nathan is completely focused on qualifying for Leadership Academy in Park City by maintaining the Team Leader title a second time or rank advancing to Team Manager before the end of June.
Congratulations, Jared and Nathan! We’re excited to see what the future holds for you.

“I’ve struggled with my weight all my life. I’ve participated in weight loss challenges, tried fad diets and diet pills, but the weight always came back when the diet ended. I decided it’s time for a real change. It’s time to lose weight a different way, a healthy way. Recently, I’ve had some health issues related to my weight and these issues make it hard for me to keep up with my two active grand-kids. They want to go outside and play, and I just can’t keep up. I get winded just carrying laundry up the stairs. I feel like I’m investing in my health with the SLMsmart Challenge. The money I’m spending on doctor and chiropractor visits should, instead, be used to help me maintain my health.
It’s time for me to get healthy. I’m setting small goals right now, focusing on losing attainable amounts of weight. After I accomplish one weight loss goal, I’ll quickly set another so that I can reach my target weight without feeling overwhelmed in the process.”

“Synergy has great products that have helped me with working out, getting fit and staying fit. The SLMsmart Challenge allows me to use products that I trust to become a better me. I’ve had the same wardrobe for 12 years because I’m waiting to be more in shape to buy new clothes. I’m more than
ready for that new wardrobe.
If I win the SLMsmart Challenge, the grand prize money can help me take my mother to a specialist who can diagnose some of the pain she has been dealing with. I’d also like to help my girlfriend move from Texas to be closer to me. Keeping my mind on helping those that I love is really going to help me stay focused and motivated in this challenge.”

“I’ve tried a lot of things and used a lot of health tips people have given me, but it never seems to work out. I was vegan for three year and lost a little bit of weight here and there, but for the most part, my weight stayed the same. Coming into the SLMsmart Challenge, I feel like I have the extra push I need because of the prizes and other incentives the program offers.
I’ve already signed up for a Level 1 Spartan Race in Colorado that I’ll participate in when the 90-day Challenge is over. This is a 4-mile race with obstacles all long the way. When I finish this race, I’ll start training for the Level 2 and Level 3 races. I may even do a Tough Mudder. I’m going to take action and get in shape with this challenge. My Synergy team is doing it together and we’ll support each other until the end. Their support will help me through.”
Jim Smith
Anaheim, California
“I just started building my Synergy business, effective January 1. Up until I was about 45 years old I had always been able to maintain my weight between 195 to 230 pounds. Something happened after that and I began to gain weight. I have been struggling with this issue now for almost 20 years. I have tried all of the programs out there with varying degrees of success. I combined the SLMsmart 90-day Challenge with a 90-day ‘Synergy Building Blitz. By May, I expect to not only come closer to my target weight, but to have kick-started my Synergy business. My intention is to continue the momentum throughout 2015 and beyond. Invest 90 days of real hard work on both fronts and change my life for the better in the process. That’s a price worth paying!”
