TAKE THIS JOB... (2003)
Episode Eleven "You Can Do It!"
People helping other people empower themselves and fulfill their dreams.

Thousands of Americans make a living as personal coaches, empowering others with their insight and charisma. We follow Laurett Ellsworth Arenz, a former "Mrs. America", as she coaches two clients for the Mrs. Maryland Pageant that day.


We go behind the scenes to follow Laurett's last minute coaching and consulting. One client is a favorite to win, and one client is a newcomer, but both see the pageant as a sign of empowerment. Will one of Laurett's clients take home the crown?


Meanwhile, in Florida Gary Shawkey is a very different kind of success coach - a Tony Robbins in the making, he has already built a multi-million dollar empowerment empire. His coaching tool - firewalking.


This half of You Can Do It! follows Gary on the "biggest day of his life". First he must coach a 14-year-old girl through her first firewalk, and then he must beat his an empowerment challenge for himself-to break his own Guinness World Record in firewalking by walking over 200 feet of burning coals at over 1000 degrees. You can cook up a meal of eggs and bacon at 300 degrees...Will Gary make it?
