Zig Ziglar was born in Coffee County, Alabama, to parents John Silas Ziglar and Viola Ziglar. He was the tenth of 12 children.

In 1931, when Ziglar was five years old, his father took a management position at a Mississippi farm, and his family moved to Yazoo City, Mississippi, where he spent most of his early childhood. In 1932, his father died of a stroke, and his younger sister died two days later.

Ziglar served in the Navy during World War II (circa 1943 to 1945). He was in the Navy V-12 Navy College Training Program, attending the University of South Carolina.

In 1944 he met his wife, Jean, in Jackson, Mississippi; he was 17 and she was 16. They married in late 1946.^{[citation needed]}

In 1970, Ziglar went into the business of motivational speaking full-time, with an emphasis on Christian values. Until then, he had called himself by his given name, Hilary, but now started using his nickname, Zig, instead.^{[citation needed]}

John Jantsch (born April 2, 1960) is a marketing and digital technology coach who specializes in working with small business. He is the author of multiple books, including Duct Tape Marketing. He is also the creator of a coaching system by the same name.

Jantsch grew up in Kansas City and attended the University of Kansas. His first professional jobs were sales related for the John Henry Company and his father’s independent sales agency.

He started his own marketing business in 1985 and created the Duct Tape Marketing small business marketing system in 2002 and added the Duct Tape Marketing Coach Network in 2004.

Much of Jantsch’s writings are centered on the concept that marketing must be approached much like any system in a business. A strong proponent of developing marketing strategies before marketing tactics, he says "small-business marketing is a system...not an event." He often speaks on how small businesses can get started on their marketing initiatives, take their brand online, and create marketing materials that yield results.

Margaret LeAnn Rimes Cibrian (born August 28, 1982), best known as LeAnn Rimes, is an American country/pop singer. She is known for her rich vocals and her rise to fame as an eight-year-old champion on the original Ed McMahon version of Star Search, followed by the release of the Bill Mack song "Blue" when she was 13 to become the youngest country music star since Tanya Tucker in 1972.

Rimes made her breakthrough into country music in 1996 with her debut album, Blue, which reached #1 on the Top Country Albums chart and was certified multiplatinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album's eponymous leadoff single, "Blue," was originally intended to be recorded by Patsy Cline in the early 1960s. It became a Top 10 hit and Rimes gained national acclaim for her similarity to Cline's vocal style. When she released her sophomore studio effort in 1997, You Light up My Life: Inspirational Songs, she moved towards country pop material, which set the trend for a string of albums released into the next decade.
