Here is a video that someone made based on what appears to be a CommuniKate voice mail from Brad Duncan.  In the voice mail Brad talks about his brother Greg’s bankruptcy and previous financial problems.

Contrast this with another audio of Greg Duncan talking about Dean Kosage and you can see that there are big problems at WWDB even though Brad tries to paint a pretty picture.

One other thing that I find to be really interesting is what Brad says about the growth at World Wide.  In the second half of the audio, Brad is talking about Jim Harstad who left WWDB to join another company.  Harstad has apparently told people that World Wide is going backwards, to which Brad responds by saying something along the lines of “goodness gracious, Amway is an $8.2 Billion company and World Wide is the hottest organization ever”.  Now that might seem like Brad is saying that World Wide is growing, but note the choice of words.  He never says World Wide is growing, he just talks about Amway.

Based on the information released by Amway, we already know that the company has had difficult times in the U.S. with the real growth coming from overseas.

Let me put things in perspective.  In the 90′s WWDB had 7 FED’s with somewhere in the neighborhood of 100,000 people attending.  Do the math. How many FED’s are taking place today and how many people are at each one?

You will need to turn your speakers way up to hear this…

It looks like Amway Executive Diamond, Dean Kosage has left the WWDB training system to join Amway Double Diamond, Brad Wolgamott in the new VSix system.

VSix appears to be loosely affiliated with Britt World Wide with some key differences in the training model.

Dean Kosage and Brad Wolgamott were arguably WWDB’s only teams that have consistently grown over the last few years.

As I said before, this is a big blow for WWDB, but I have already heard that some are saying that Kosage was kicked out of WWDB,  (that’s not true).  I guess to this day, I am amazed at the tactics that so called “Christians” take to preserve their WWDB business model.

Update: Kosage is actually launching his own LOA (Line of Affiliation) separate from Wolgamott, although I understand they will team up on occasion for events. Dean’s system is called “Freestyle” while Brad Wolgamott’s is called VSix.

Just heard that Dean Kosage might be on his way out of WWDB.  That would be a big blow.

Brad Wolgamott is gone, building his own system that is more in line with today’s technology, Dave Severn’s house is for sale, the River House for sale, Jim Harstad is gone, Greg Duncan filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy and the list goes on.

Tough times at World Wide Dreambuilders.

Traffic on the Amway Blog has blown up today with folks returning from WWDB F.E.D. in Portland, OR.  A lot of searches about Brad Wolgamott.  If you have an update about what was said at the event about Brad and Leslie, please post it in the comments.

Here is a report from World Wide Group’s Free Enterprise Days by Dreamer’s Perspective:

All I can say about this past weekend is that it was amazing. I don’t know of any other organization/company that celebrates free enterprise and our veterans like World Wide DreamBuilders and Amway Global.

If you ever have the opportunity to attend one of these amazing functions you definitely need to go. There is just something about 10,000 plus people cheering on the presenting of the flags (US and Canada) as well as the presentation of the veterans that just makes you get goose bumps.

They recognized 3 veterans this weekend from WWII and their stories were absolutely amazing. It really makes you appreciate the freedoms we have in this country and remember the sacrifices that were given by the soldiers to secure those freedoms.

We were also blessed to have the music group Day One performing during the weekend which added an amazing dynamic to the weekend and an excitement. Thank you Day One for stepping in after the Goads amazing run with WWDB and doing an amazing job.

I always loved elements of F.E.D., especially the color guard and honoring veterans.

Someone posted a comment that suggested that Ron and Georgia Lee Puryear’s River House is for sale.  I have actually been to the river house back when I was in Amway/Quixtar in the 90′s.  The place is amazing.  I know that there has been some trouble at WWDB with Greg Duncan’s bankruptcy, David and Debbie Shores home foreclosure, Brad Wolgamott leaving and Jim Harstad building an MLM business with a different company.  Maybe there is more going on behind the scenes at WWDB than we know.

I did a little bit of digging and found confirmation…

The largest private residence in Kootenai County has come on the market this month. Owned by Ron and Georgia Puryear, the 26,000 sq. ft. residence is on the north shore of the Spokane River in Post Falls. Listed by John Beutler of Century 21, the asking price is $19.995 million.

Greg Duncan has requested a million dollar bail out from Amway Global after liquidating his assets at a summer auction could not pay off his creditors.

Here is the loan response from Amway.

Read the whole story.

A source tells me that Brad Wolgamott may still be building the Amway Global business, just no longer with WWDB.

We will keep you posted as information becomes available.

This has not been a good year for the Amway Motivational System, World Wide Dream Builders (WWDB).

Here are some of the happenings:

Greg Duncan Bankruptcy

Jim and Julie Harstad Leave Amway Global and WWDB To Build Another MLM

Brad Wolgamott Leaves Amway Gobal and WWDB

I don’t have any real update about Brad Wolgamott other than to say that my wife and I are praying for Brad, Leslie and their children.

It will be interesting to see where Brad lands after leaving World Wide Dream Builders.  We can assume that he is leaving Amway Global as well.

Brad Wolgamott was one of WWDB’s most dynamic speakers. Right up there with Dave Severn in my opinion.

This is is something new from World Wide Dreambuilders.  In the past when someone left or a divorce took place, the M.O. was to ignore the issue and pretend that the people involved did not exist.

Today, WWDB posted the following about Brad and Leslie Wolgamott:

New Horizons

As we all know, life is always changing. Presently Brad Wolgamott is seeking to add value to people outside the World Wide Dreambuilders system while Leslie continues to work with World Wide Dreambuilders in building a great future. The nature of their relationship has changed, but they have an amazing story from their past.

My (and my wifes) thoughts and prayers go out to Brad and Leslie.
