About Malia

Thank you for spending time with me. Here is a little bit about my personal background. I currently live with my husband Dave in Palmdale CA, which is about 1.5 hours outside of LA in the high desert.

Professionally, it seems like Dave and I have always been in sales and marketing. I was raised into it, and found a natural fit in the hospitality field as Director of Sales and Marketing for Hilton Hotels and InterContinental Hotels in San Francisco and San Diego. That chapter of my career spanned 20 years. I still love the hospitality field, but left it in spring of 2008 to resume my own marketing business, M-Powered Marketing Solutions, founded in Feb. 2006.

Dave and I started our own online business in 1997 called OxyWave, selling a life-changing nutritional supplement called Cellfood. The business grew to a half-million in annual sales in 2005. Along the way, we learned SEO, Affiliate Marketing, CRM and all aspects of managing a thriving online business with over 2,000 customers. We sold the business in 2005 to our dear friend, John Clark when Dave joined NuScience, the manufacturers of Cellfood as VP of Sales. That is when we moved to Palmdale from San Diego, a move which caused many friends to scratch their heads. We actually love the “pioneer spirit” of the Antelope Valley, with professional and personal opportunities as wide as the clear sky over the valley. Except when it is 114 degrees.

We’ve continued a passionate, continuous education in online marketing. Although we are not “gurus” by any means, nor are we guru “groupies,” there are several gurus that we love and adhere to as coaching students. And we love them as brothers and for the teachers and human beings that they are: Stephen Pierce and Matt Bacek are two of our teachers, along with John Di Lemme, Carlos and Lupe, Russell Brunson and many others whom we deeply admire.

At first, beat myself up pretty regularly for where on our journey compared to where we wanted to be – making millions on line. But then I realized how much we actually know and more importantly, how passionately we want to use and share what we know to share an abundant life with our family and others.

More and more I find that making a difference in people’s lives is what truly motivates us. We now only take on “transformational clients” and would rather have just a handful that we work with who are truly making a difference than using our gifts and ability to sell flooring or insurance – no offense to anyone in those fields.

These are exciting times. We have the historically unprecedented opportunity to connect and expand our community, globally. Many of us have encouragement to share. For me, it is part of my unique life purpose and budding ministry. Thank you for your support and feedback along the way. The time for our greatness is now!
