Karl Loren, Speaker For Life, Author, Webmaster Husband of Jean Ross |
 |
Karl Loren has led an adventurous life -- he has lived and traveled in more than 35 countries -- spending time with witch doctors in Africa and the Magic Men of Asia. On the "other side," he also has an MBA degree from Harvard University and served in the Kennedy White House. Read here about this remarkable man -- Karl Loren.
Karl was born with the name Loren Carl Troescher. (If you enter "Troescher" in a search engine, you'll find several very interesting web sites.)
Many years later, as he was moving into a career as a professional public speaker, he realized that few people could pronounce, remember or spell his name. So, with a bit of advice, he assumed the professional name of Karl Loren.
Karl was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1931, and raised mostly in the countryside outside Cleveland. He grew up on Lake Erie, in Willoughby, Ohio. He was the only child of Milda and Wilbur Troescher. His father, Wilbur, also had an adventurous life, including being a motorcycle policeman, owning several of his own businesses and living to a healthy old age.
He moved to Hudson, Ohio for his last two years of high school, attending Western Reserve Academy.
From there he went to the University of Rochester for a foolish year, and then to Ohio University where he majored in Accounting and got his BS degree. From Ohio University he went into the Army as a brand new Second Lieutenant. At Ohio University he was on the Student Council and was President of the Chess Club.
Karl was very adventure-loving, and took Ranger training in the Army. He loved that so much that he actually got assigned for his permanent post in the Ranger Battalion, at Fort Benning, Georgia. From there he got a promotion to become an Aide de Camp to one of the Generals at Fort Benning, Georgia.
After two years in the Army, Karl went to Harvard University, and got his MBA degree from the Harvard Business School in 1959. He worked briefly for one of his favorite Harvard professors before launching a career as an "economist." As he has said, an "economist" is a guy fifty miles away from home, with a briefcase.
Since 1959 Karl has done an amazing number of things, including a stint in Puerto Rico, as an economist, then to Philadelphia where he worked as an internal auditor for the Sun Oil Company. Along this way his family grew, until it eventually reached six children.
Loren left Sun Oil to work in the US Government, initially in the US Department of Commerce, but then when the chance came, he got a position in the Kennedy White House. He was in charge of computer preparation for the negotiators working on the Kennedy Round of Trade Negotiations. He got his beginning in computers, on an IBM 1401, long before most of the current crop of computer experts were even born. He even took a sit-in course at MIT on the most advanced computer in the world, at that time at MIT.
From the White House Karl went to Ethiopia, working for several months as an Economist. Then, he moved to Ghana, again as an economist, working for the National Investment Bank of Ghana.
When Karl left Ghana, after three fascinating years in Africa, he moved to the Philippines, and became the Executive Director of Delgado Brothers Transportation Company, in Manila. This was a company with about 5,000 employees, and activities in trucking, warehousing, tanker operation and ship handling.
From there he went to Trans Asia Engineering Co, as Chief Financial Officer. He supervised financial activities of the Company's far-flung operations in 12 countries. Trans Asia had about 9,000 employees and Karl was the guy in charge of the money. He traveled quite a bit throughout Asia on this job.
Karl was a philosopher at heart, and hadn't found the type of personal satisfaction he was looking for -- although the salaries and fun were fine!
As Karl left the world of salaried employment, he realized that he would never be happy working for a salary, and started into his own business, in the Los Angeles area.
He had no concerns for starting at the bottom, and actually first got a "job" as a salesman for a janitorial company so he could learn the janitorial business. He was busy selling janitorial services during the day, and cleaning toilets during the night. He became the top salesman, then the Sales Manager for the janitorial company, and after a while of that left to form his own janitorial service company.
He was probably the only Harvard Business School graduate to earn a living cleaning toilets!
He has never worked for a salary again.
The janitor business was good to him, and he eventually built it up to about 25 janitors, sold the business, and took his money into a period of time when he had decided that he wanted to become a professional public speaker.
Karl joined three different Toastmaster's Clubs, and spoke at hundreds of small meetings for local service clubs. He even got paid for a few of those speeches.
Eventually he turned this skill and interest in public speaking into an opportunity to learn about vitamins, and speak about heart disease, while selling an oral chelation vitamin product produced by a company still in existence.
Soon he realized that he could formulate a better vitamin formula than the one he was selling, and he and his wife formed Vibrant Life, the mail order vitamin company which now sells vitamins all over the world.
Karl and his wife maintain legally separate business activities, but certainly still create a loving family and support each other in all they do.
Karl started appearing as a guest on radio and TV shows, and eventually was offered an amazing opportunity with Station KIEV in Los Angeles. He took it! He took over a live radio talk show that started at midnight, and went to 6 AM, five nights per week.
He actually had 30 hours of live radio show, every week, and had hundreds of fascinating guests. He may have had more live time on radio than any other host around.
One of his regular guests was the man who operated the most successful cancer clinic in Mexico. Karl learned a lot about health during that time, and also about how the truth is suppressed so much in this area. The man who operated this clinic will not be identified on these pages, although many who visit here will know who he is. Karl visited this clinic when a lady-friend of his went there for treatment of breast cancer. Karl saw amazing success. Within a few more months he became very friendly with the man who operated it; we'll call him "The Healer." As this friendship grew Karl offered to help The Healer by providing a contact point within the United States for people to get information about the clinic. The Healer explained to Karl that three previous persons who had attempted to do this for him had been arrested on trivial charges and held in jail until they would sign a statement saying that "The Healer is operating fraudulently in Mexico. . . . etc." Each of the others caved in. One of them was not only personally held in jail, but HER parents were then threatened with jail for helping her if she did not sign the government lies about The Healer. Karl Loren held that position for more than one year, despite the danger of his being held in jail until he would denounce his friend. Ultimately, US police kidnapped The Healer out of his clinic in Mexico, two days after when Karl's wife was on a visit there, and he was sent to Federal Prison for two years. Karl visited him in prison and helped raise money for his legal defense. Karl is a good friend to have!
Karl also produced and was the featured speaker in several hundred TV shows sponsored by his Church.
In the last several years Karl has turned his talents to research and writing, and while he still enjoys public speaking, he prefers writing, and finds the Web an extremely interesting place to work. As he discovered, writing for the Web is an experience of freedom. Karl is fully capable of thinking in dozens of directions at once, focusing on any one of those directions, and moving to the next. The wonder of hyperlink writing, and cyber space frees an author to be extremely creative.
You have, here, a man of driven eagerness, in love with his work, passionate about his ideas, and ready to solve the health problems of the world. Read the Philosophy page to get a much deeper understanding about Karl Loren.
Karl has long had the policy of responding personally to every personal message he receives.
Added Information in April 2002.
My work continues. As of this writing I am almost 71 years old and feel that I have a mission to change the way society views heart disease, among other health subjects. I now have 12 web sites, 15,000 pages and spend almost full time doing research, writing and publishing material. I publish a free monthly newsletter (The Wednesday Letter) that now has more than 4,000 subscribers -- the subscription list grows at about 100 new people per week.
In addition to doing the research and writing that I enjoy, I have an amazing exchange of correspondence with hundreds of people. My pledge to answer personally every personal eMail I receive astounds people, all the more when I typically respond within a few hours. Test that out! Send a letter.
