Lorenzo “Zo” LaMantia, Co-Founder of Stratia Corporation

Zo’s contributions touch virtually every aspect of Stratia, but he is most proud of his role as the creator and producer of our seminars.  His passion for this education comes naturally, as it matches his own mission to empower others to achieve prosperity and freedom.  An entrepreneur at heart, Zo learned the virtue of hard work and discipline when he joined the Marines at the age of seventeen.  After his honorable discharge, he moved from his native New York to California, where he introduced New York soft pretzels, to the hungry Californians.  Zo went on to become one of the foremost leaders in the direct marketing industry, where he also discovered his passion for seminar production.  During his career, he has trained and guided countless others on how to market with ethics and integrity, and how to achieve prosperity and freedom, however, Zo’s greatest gratifications in life are his children and 11-grandchildren.

Stratia is committed to the highest ideals of peace, harmony, acceptance, and the preservation of personal freedom.  We support limited government, free markets, privacy rights, and individual liberty.

We also believe in the principles of personal accountability, and that individuals have the God-given right to pursue their lives as they see fit so long as they do not infringe upon another in any way. 

To promote these ends we provide vital education on the issues of prosperity, freedom, health, personal empowerment, and history.  We believe that when people are prosperous, educated, and free they will make responsible and humanitarian choices.  And when people are empowered through wealth, they will practice the principle of giving back.

We believe that when people are informed and empowered, they will change themselves.  And we firmly believe that when people change themselves, they change the world.

The purpose of Stratia is to empower individuals to become the new leaders of the 21^st Century.

However, our market also consists of the many people who share the feeling that something very basic has gone wrong in our world, and that important values are at risk. 

We are being told that war will bring peace, slavery will bring freedom, and that ignorance is strength.  And today we have more war, a failing environment, a loss of human rights, worsening global health, and a faltering educational system.  We are being taxed to the point of financial ruin, and there is no end in sight to the growth of government.  These inequities put our very existence in peril.

Yet millions have also been awakened to the fact that there is a better, and more balanced way of life – a new paradigm of peace and prosperity.

 They seek financial freedom to get off the treadmill, escape the rat race, and actually make a difference in their homes and their communities.  They seek knowledge to make better-informed decisions in this rapidly changing world, and they are well aware this knowledge is not to be gained from the nightly news.

 Stratia has a powerful opportunity and a positive message, and the number of people who are ready to hear this message is exploding.
