Quick Rundown of Who I Am:

No healthy man, in his secret heart, is content with his destiny. He is tortured by dreams and images as a child is tortured by the thought of a state of existence in which it would live in a candy-story and have two stomachs.”

About Tanner Maluchnik - "The Little Engine That Could for the 21st Century"

While I was busy growing up balancing hockey, baseball, football, friends, family, school, and other responsibilities, I found myself quickly learning how to use the computer for more than just entertainment purposes.

Around 10 years old, I started my first online business at BestofSabu.com and also sold my first of many items sold on eBay (with one of those items being one of my step brothers, no lie). You could say I was using social media tools over 10 years ago with then popular social technology tools of America Online Chat Rooms.  I connected with people through the chat rooms and this is how I sold my products and drove people to my web site.

Around 12 years old, following the ease of being able to sell on eBay along with my huge interest in business, technology and an entrepreneurship, I decided to design and develop other web sites to sell items.

Learning a foundation in marketing, business, entrepreneurship, and technology skills at such a young age has helped garner me a large sum of money for a kid who was not even a teenager yet.

"The Brightest Mind of Gen Y"

Since then, my interest in business, entrepreneurship, and technology has grown immensely.

Around my sophomore year of high school, I developed a keen interest in personal development and healthy lifestyle designs. Reading, listening and absorbing every piece of information I could find around my father’s library. Biographies on successful people such as JFK and Vince Lombardi, personal development audiotapes such as Tony Robbins series, money management books including Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money-That the Poor and the Middle Class Do Not!", inspirational and persistence books such as Og Mandino’s “The Greatest Salesman in the World.” Now with the advent of the internet and its large amounts of communication tools, information can be found everywhere.

That is why developed Life Destiny, to bring together the large amount of resources and information on entrepreneurship, lifestyle design, business, marketing, social media, health and fitness, personal development, and emerging technologies.

"Don't Ask Why. Ask Y."

Throughout my learning in life, I have garnered over 100s of pages of notes on almost any topic relating to life, and Life Destiny is where I share it.

Just a couple years ago, I found and bought Tim Ferris’ The 4 Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich.  After reading this inspiring book, I found myself on a journey to design my own lifestyle and live the life I want to live.  This means breaking away from the normal 9-5, becoming a remarkable person, and doing what I want.

So here is Life Destiny, a community to chronicle my fellow members journey of entrepreneurship in social media and emerging technologies.

I am a graduate of The Pennsylvania State University majoring in Information Sciences & Technology with an emphasis in People, Society & Organizations. This option focuses on how information technology affects social change and the delivery of information to the consumer. This option is the one most focused on people and how they are affected by technology and how they affect the use and design of technology.

To better understand what my major means and what I am learning about go to my post “What is Information Sciences & Technology?”

I also consult with businesses and individuals on Social and Emerging Media and Web Presence Identity Consulting, Generation Y Marketing and Management Consulting, Branding Strategy Consulting, and also provide Social and Emerging Media and Generation Y Speaking Services.

Disclosure: I would like to mention that I am not perfect and nor do I know all the answers to building and maintaining a healthy lifestyle design. However, I am quite passionate about healthy lifestyle design and personal development. Throughout the course of my life, I have gathered quite a resource of lifestyle designs and personal development information and continue to do so. So I bring you Life Destiny, which will hopefully help both you and me build habits to a happier lifestyle. Sharing what we learn everyday will be both useful for you and me. Life Destiny is a community for both you and I to learn off each other. Life Destiny is experimenting with quality of life to take control of our destiny.

Think Big,
