A world of lies and half-truths – we need the digital revolution.
“People deserve to be known for who they really are—not through noise, algorithms, or fiction, but through truth. That belief is what led to the creation of E-Verified Records Corp.—a platform designed to help people carry their identities, histories, and digital footprints with dignity and clarity. In an age where reality is easily distorted, this isn’t just technology—it’s a return to trust, and a quiet act of restoring our shared humanity.”
Behind this mission is a deeper calling, to empower individuals to reclaim authorship over their own identity. E-Verified Records Corp, was built to protect the integrity of personal truth, giving people the tools to authenticate what matters most: who they are, where they’ve been, and how they choose to show up in the world. As digital deception grows more sophisticated, we’re offering a grounded path back to transparency, where identity is not guessed, assumed, or stolen, but verified by the individual themselves. Whether it’s for conformation in business, immigration, employment, or simply showing up online with confidence, we believe everyone deserves to say, “This is truly me.” This platform is more than a solution, it’s a stand for clarity, connection, and the humanity that unites us all.
I was born in the USSR and went through three immigrations, four educational systems, and learned six different languages — but my most formative years were in Toronto, where I saw early on how easily people could manipulate systems. Friends were committing fraud in high school, and others were willing to lie just to stay in subsidized housing.
I chose a different path. I chose truth, even when it meant losing financial support, moving out, and starting over. That decision cost me comfort, but it gave me something far more important: the ability to live with integrity. That commitment shaped everything that came after.
Years later, after running a financial brokerage, COVID forced a change. I pivoted into a new business, started hiring, and quickly saw how broken our systems are when it comes to verifying people’s identity, background, or experience. Whether it’s hiring, tenant screening, or education records, there’s no reliable way to separate truth from fiction. That’s where the idea for E-Verified Records Corp began.
Today, our mission is simple: to help people make better decisions by giving them the tools to verify truth in a world full of misinformation.
Behind the work, I’m a father, a volunteer, a rider who escapes to remote places to reset. But what drives me most is a deep intolerance for dishonesty, for imposters, for deception, especially when it harms the vulnerable. I believe trust must be earned through action. And I’m building something to help the world do just that.

People don’t plan to fail, they fail to plan…
I wish to focus on how we all have habits but not all habits are good ones.The question is “How can we change poor habits into good ones?” We discuss some simple structures and ideas for all age groups no matter what their financial situation is.
Regardless of one’s income, the rules of managing one’s finances are the same. Whether you are a university student or retired, the rules are the same when it comes to managing your financial affairs. You need to look at the rules as though they were tools. Like all tools, if you don’t know how to use them, the outcome will probably be different than what you were expecting.
We learn through example and experience. A more comfortable way to learn is through the experiences of others. I believe that life is a series of reconnaissances. We engage, don’t realize the intended outcome, and then try again. We all make mistakes. To try again after making a mistake and avoiding that mistake will advance us closer to our goal. As in life, this is true in managing our financial affairs. I like to use analogies, and one that I use for finances is to consider your financial plan as a sailboat that you are trying to navigate. Knowing the rules can help us navigate through the financial seas of life. This does not mean that there will not be any storms brewing ahead. However, knowing that there could be, allows us to be prepared and have plans to weather the storm should they occur.
No matter what age you are, everyone has money problems and the stress can be debilitating for some. Bad habits can be corrected. Too often though, people start at a young age working with their finances without proper guidance. Bad habits are formed and, unfortunately, some of these habits remain with them throughout their lives. It is never too late to get on board and replace bad habits with good ones.
No one has more to gain or lose regarding your financial choices than you do. Make the right choices by educating yourself.

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Tyson Sharpe, on air from July 22nd
Tyson shares, “It’s an honor to be featured on this show—a space where heart, truth, and transformative action come to life. If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you’re feeling the nudge to build a business that aligns with your soul and flows from your authentic self.”
But stepping into this path often means letting go of the old story:
“If I fail, I’ll lose everything.”
“I’m safe where I am—why risk it?”
“Maybe later, when the time feels right.”
These fears are real, but so is the pain of ignoring your inner calling. Your heart nudges you like a quiet GPS, guiding you one brave step at a time.
Imagine waking up each day doing what lights you up, flowing with purpose, creativity, and soul-aligned service. That’s not just a dream—it’s your true direction.
The world is waiting for you to rise, lead, and make a difference by being fully you. Safety, comfort, and mediocrity end here. It’s time to embody the example you came here to be.
To build a soul-aligned business that expands you and elevates others, master these three core skills: Self-Connection. Heightened Consciousness. The Courage to Leap.
Tyson is the creator of the online community ‘The Serving Circle’, the tribe of spiritual entrepreneurs who find creative, heartfelt ways to collaborate and grow as one.
Since 2016, it has been his mission to help online spiritual entrepreneurs, coaches, and healers create more reach, engagement, impact, and income by helping them build and grow communities around their business.
He is also the host of the ‘Awaken Your Business’ Podcast and believes that you can elevate the consciousness of the planet through spiritual business success.
The Serving Circle
Since the online platforms are so flooded with content creators, it’s becoming harder to pierce through the noise and find the ideal clients and collaborators your business needs. The Serving Circle looks to solve this problem.
The Serving Circle is a community of Spiritual business owners who find creative ways to help each other grow online. Since we all have a mission to heighten consciousness, we believe that creating more reach, impact, and income in our businesses spreads the vibration that the world needs most.
We do this through audience sharing, creating referral partnerships and joint ventures, as well as sharing resources and helping each other be accountable for our expansive action steps.

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Haylee Gernert, on air from July 15th
I believe the behind-the-scenes of a business is where the magic really happens, and that magic deserves care, clarity, and intention. My journey into Online Business Management started with a love of organizing chaos and a deep respect for the humans at the heart of every company. Through systems, structure, and soulful strategy, I support small business owners so they can stop drowning in the day-to-day and get back to the big-picture work they’re meant to do. My message is for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by their own success and needs a trusted partner to help bring order, alignment, and ease to their operations. I also write The Virtual Life, a newsletter and creative outlet where I share stories and reflections from the world of online business: a space to connect with others walking this unique and dynamic path
I started my professional path in traditional administrative roles, learning early on how much I love supporting people, not just with tasks, but with vision. Over time, I moved into virtual support and discovered the world of Online Business Management, where I found my sweet spot: helping purpose-driven entrepreneurs build systems that actually support the life and business they want. Today, I work as an OBM and Retreat Support Specialist, blending operations expertise with heart-centered strategy. I also write a Substack newsletter called The Virtual Life, a passion project where I explore the behind-the-scenes of digital entrepreneurship. I’m based in Northern California, raising a family, growing a business I love, and travelling as often as I can.

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Eddy Balaya, on air from July 8th
After more than 16 years working in corporate IT, in Service or Consulting companies, and in leadership roles, I decided it was time to take everything I’d learned and use it to support the kinds of businesses that often get overlooked—small and mid-sized companies trying to make things work without reliable tech support. I’ve seen how the lack of time, budget, or technical knowledge leads many business owners to treat IT as something they deal with only when it breaks. That’s what we want to change. At Datasphere Dynamics, our goal is simple: help local businesses make smarter technology decisions, take control of their systems, and build stability step by step, without unnecessary cost or complexity.
I’ve taken more than a few leaps of faith in my life—and I’m grateful for every one of them. Born in India as a French citizen, I grew up in Pondicherry, attending a French school where my accent shaped how I’d speak every language after. In 2006, I moved to France for my studies and began working. My first IT job came right after I admitted I didn’t know how to install antivirus software. From there, I went from sales to leading global network infrastructure for a multinational company, working with telecom giants like NTT, Tata, and Orange.
While friends were settling down, I felt pulled toward something more. In 2017, I immigrated to Canada with nothing but two suitcases and no safety net—delivering food on a bike to start over. By 2019, I was back in a leadership role at a major financial firm. A year later, I lost the home I was about to buy after an unexpected layoff. That loss led me to co-found an IT company, which ultimately didn’t work out, leaving me in debt and sleeping in my Honda Civic. I regrouped, restarted, and in 2021, launched what is now Datasphere Dynamics.
I landed a long-term contract with a U.S. Tech firm, bought a house, and rebuilt—but once again, the role ended during a company reorg. This time, instead of going back, I chose to go all in on my own path, investing in coaching and mentorship to turn Datasphere into a business that truly reflects my purpose: helping business owners take control of their tech with the clarity and confidence they deserve.
