Emc! Good morning, and thank you for taking the time to speak with us.

Dr.StanHarris: The pleasure is mine.

Emc!: Could you tell us more about your background?

Dr. Stan Harris: I have two brothers, and two half brothers. We were raised in a singular parent home in the roach and mice infested projects (Smith Holmes) of Harrisburg, Pa. I remember waking up with giant water bugs crawling on my face! At 6 years of age while playing on a playground, a gang of teenagers jumped, beat, tarred, and feathered me. They left me in a field. Person found me, and rushed me to the hospital before I suffocated from the thick tar. I grew up wondering if anything cared, I never heard the words, " I Love You." I was neglected, confused, and abused -- verbally, emotionally, sexually, and physically. I was beaten with a steel folding chair over my back and head, as well as with a choker chain (for a dog), by the hands of my Mom's boyfriend -- without her knowledge of course.

Emc!: You are a survivor. How did you become concerned in Karate, and Martial Arts in general?

Dr. Stan Harris: One day my mum won a free month of Karate Lessons (ShotoKan Karate). She liked it so much that she continued training for quite awhile. One day she got into a fight with her boyfriend that had physically abused me. She knocked him out with a side thrust kick to the jaw. My brothers and I looked at each other in shock. We went to the man on the ground who was out cold and said, "Whatever you do, don't mess with my Momma anymore, because my Momma is bad, man; my Momma is bad." The event so impressed me that I started training in Isshin'ryu Karate with the hopes that I would learn to protect myself and one day become a champion and get the concentration I so craved for as a younger child.

Emc!: Would you say the realization that you could empower yourself utilizing the theory of Martial Arts, ignited your desire to help others empower themselves in their daily lives?

Dr. Stan Harris: Yes. They (the instructors) taught us to have self discipline, before studying self defense. We learned that the greatest of all victories is the conquest of one's own self. I wanted to share with others my newly found power of channeling my anger and discontentment into something productive. I also wanted others to caress the new found improved self image that comes with self operate and accomplishments.

Emc!: Dr. Stan, what are the visions you concoct in your mind which drive your desire to contribute?

Dr. Stan Harris: I see myself supporting 100 missionaries. I always wanted to be the role model for others, that I never had personally. The power of expectation and reliance from Person that we respect and admire can unleash great amounts of power that have been held back. I also envision myself continuing to present condition seminars colse to the country (Usa).

Emc!: I hear the passion in your words, Dr. Stan. Most population who know you, and even those who are only remotely familiar with you and your work, enumerate you using the word "passionate." Is passion something you work to manifest on a daily basis?

Dr. Stan Harris: Most definitely. One woman met me in the airport and said, "Whatever it is you do, I want to be part of because you exude such compassion, and power." Like John Wesly of old, I just put myself on fire and population come watch me burn!

Emc!: Whose counsel have you benefited the most from?

Dr. Stan Harris: Other than the Bible, William E. Bailey who also mentored Jim Rohn, Les Brown and others.

Emc!: Your speaking presentations often comprise a dynamic demonstration of Martial Arts. Amazingly, you break 22 inches of bricks with your bare hands utilizing thinkable, speed and power. Can you enumerate the impact it has on your audiences?

Dr. Stan Harris: Because our generation is so visual. I like to use optical aids that they can enumerate to, to add extra impact to my message. population are often spell bound, and they truly get the point that we can break straight through our limitations, no matter how hard, or difficult!

Emc!: That truly paints a picture. Can you give us some examples which depict how people's lives were changed for the greater after seeing you brick-breaking presentation?

Dr. Stan Harris: Here's what Rita Graves from Texas said:

"Dr. Stan Harris was so inspirational! He touched my heart tremendously. Words cannot tell you how grateful I am to have had the occasion to meet and hear him speak in person. Wow… we could all his enthusiasm! This event inspired each and every guest. It filled our hearts, minds and souls with inspiration, motivation, empowerment, knowledge, strength, and success. Now we can continue to move transmit in a inescapable manner and know that we all are worthy of great things to come."

Ned Rae said: "Dr. Stan Harris who taught us all how to devotee our fears and have a life changing “break-through” as we all broke our 1” boards with our fear written on the back. seeing everybody from 8 years old to 81 years old stand in line to take their first step beyond their fears by breaking that board with their hand, a true "breakthrough" was worth the cost of attendance."

Cheryl Rae, administrative Director with her company reported to her Ceo:

"The feature for me was Dr. Stan's 'breakthrough' performance. I have to admit, when he passed out a board to everyone, I wasn't real sure if I could break it. It was a hard board! But when I saw an 8 year old boy do it and Maggie, 81 years old, do it.....that was it. If they could then I could too. And, with Dr. Stan coaching me, I did it on the first try! It was so easy and nothing happened to my hand -- it was an spectacular, moment for me. I'm getting emotional just thinking about it."

Emc!: Dr. Stan, it's not surprising that your workshops and presentations are in such great demand. Tell us; who helps you administrate the numerous daily opportunities and invitations to speak that continue to come your way?

Dr. Stan Harris: Presently, I do it all myself; but I will have to get Person to take care of it for me because the demands are getting too great. I try to keep a personal touch as long as I maybe can.
