Arsen S Marsoobian

Arsen Marsoobian, currently 82 years young, a time when most people are looking for a rocking chair, cruise ship or retirement facility, launched his third career just 7 years ago.
After having endured 2 major heart surgeries within 70 days of each other in 1999 and becoming divorced, his family persuaded him to return to Fresno and retire to a quiet life on the golf course.
This lifestyle lasted 5 years, until at the age of 79, Arsen had impressed upon him by international motivational speaker and mentor, Les Brown, that he still had much to contribute in life.
At the same time Arsen was training under Lynn Rose, the noted speaker, singer and entrepreneur, who bestowed the moniker of “Ageless Attitude Ambassador” for him and helped Arsen see his unique spark, bringing out his many special gifts. It then became clear to Arsen that with over 7 decades of experience in both local government and the private sector, along with the impact of his personal trials and triumphs, he had a wealth of knowledge and experience which he is called to share with others through his books and speaking engagements.
To date Arsen’s writing contributions include “Don’t Die – 3 Essential Truths for Your Fulfilled and Happy Life” and “Beating Taxes and Cheating Death”. Book projects coming in 2017-2018 are , “A Heartbeat Away – Are Your Ready?” and “Ageless and Masculine – Romance Without the Pill”.

Method of Business Development” – The 4 Cornerstones for making your business best in class. “Never Quit – Your Life Matters” – How to know your worth and live your full potential “Outwitting The Grim Reaper” – How to beat taxes and cheat death while having the time of your life
Through his many speaking appearances he has shared the stage with such notables as Les Brown, Lynn Rose, Jeff Eben, Bill Walsh, Gary Cox and Dr. Robert Watts.
In addition to authoring books, and public speaking, Arsen continues to help clients with their financial planning needs, along with providing targeted event promotions, through his company: SOOB Enterprises, LLC. “S.O.O.B” is an acronym for:
S – Success on a daily basis

B – Belief in the God of the Universe
SOOB also happens to be part of his nickname, “Papa SOOB”, which many affectionately call this gentle giant.
The company motto that encompasses the approach he takes in all of his endeavors, is: “Touching Lives – Transforming Outcomes”.
