Suited & Connected Issue #24

Welcome to the 24th issue of Suited & Connected©! 😊😊😊

CROWNLINE Method, founded by Todd Anthony Person, examines individual birthdays and leverages the 52 playing cards deck to illuminate human relationship chemistry. The CROWNLINE Method fuses mathematics, numerology, deck of playing cards, astrology, neuroscience and psychology.

The deck of playing cards was originally used as a calendar: there are 52 cards representing the 52 weeks in the year. There are (4) suits representing the four seasons. Hearts representing Spring, Clubs representing Summer, Diamonds representing Fall and Spades representing Winter. Each season has (13) weeks, and each suit has thirteen cards. There are (12) Face cards and there are twelve months and (12) astrological signs. If you add up all the Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds, and Spades with Ace being (1) and King being (13) you get 364. Add December 31st being the day of 1 ¼ and you now get 365 ¼ days which is an entire year.

Todd has examined the human relationship chemistry and compatibility of individuals via their birthdays. By looking at how the cards align (or don’t align) of individuals in music, arts &entertainment, business, sports, and famous people/celebrities, Todd has identified a number of patterns that signal good things can happen to people when their cards align.

Card alignment can take different forms — exact same cards, matching one number, matching a same-suit, being suited and connected (e.g. 3Diamonds to 4Diamonds) in their first card called ‘the birth card’ or their second card known as “the astrological ruling card”. What is key to Todd’s analysis is that the patterns and corresponding ‘success or failure’ outcomes happen — over and over and over again. These outcomes pertain to heightened performance, fame, and other metrics of success.

In this 24th issue of Suited & Connected©, we examine one pattern in particular — when two individuals are ‘suited and connected’ — e.g. 3Diamonds to 4Diamonds, the suits are the same (Diamonds) and the card value-numbers are one apart from each other.

The following individuals formed iconic brands that many of us encounter in our daily lives (Banking, Fast Food, Internet, Music & Entertainment).

1. Henry Wells, born Dec.12 & William Fargo, born May 20;  Founders of Wells Fargo

2. S. Truett Cathy, born Mar. 14 & Jeannette McNeil, born Dec. 23, Founders of Chick-fil-A

3. Mark Zuckerberg, born May 14 & Eduardo Saverin, born Mar. 19; Founders of Facebook

4. William Wadsworth (W.W.) Hodkinson, born Aug. 16 & Jesse L. Lasky, born Sept. 13; Founders of Paramount Studios

5. Elton John, born Mar. 25 & Bernie Taupin born May 22, are a prolific songwriting team

S. Truett Cathy & Jeannette McNeil, Founders of Chick-fil-A

The future first family of Chick-fil-A, Jeannette (born Jeannette McNeil in 1922) lived up the street from Truett in Atlanta, and met him while attending West End Baptist Church in Atlanta, when he was 8 years old. The two married in 1948 and remained together for 65 years, until Truett’s death in September 2014, at age at 93. Jeannette died in July 2015 at age 92.

"I immediately had a crush on her that I have never gotten over," Truett wrote of their first meeting in "Eat Mor Chikin Inspire More People."

Though they met as children, Truett said he didn’t begin courting Jeannette until after he launched The Dwarf Grill with his brother, Ben.

Very soon after Jeannette and Truett married, she began working by Truett’s side at the restaurant until their first child was born. When the children [Dan, Don and Trudy] were old enough, they too, became employees.

Elton John & Bernie Taupin, Superstar Songwriting Duo

They say that luck and chemistry play a crucial role in show business success, and that’s certainly the case of Elton John and Bernie Taupin. Responsible for more than 50 Top 40 hits and over 225 million records sold over the course of their 57-year partnership, the piano man and the lyricist were originally paired together by simple luck of the draw — literally.

In the summer of 1967 the name ‘Elton John’ didn’t exist; the birth name of Elton John is Reginald Dwight, and Dwight spotted an ad in the New Musical Express soliciting songwriters. Dwight answered the ad and stopped by the London music publishing office of the agency called Liberty. In an interview with People Magazine, Elton John (formerly Reginald Dwight) explained: “The guy behind the desk said, ‘What do you do?’ I said, ‘Well I can sing and I can write songs, but I can’t write lyrics. I’m hopeless.’”

The executive at the music agency grabbed a sealed envelope at random from one of the many stacks of poems that cluttered his desk and told the young melodist to go write music to match. Dwight opened the envelope on the subway ride home and discovered that the words were written by Bernie Taupin. So began the most successful musical partnership since Lennon-McCartney. “Kismet” is how both men describe it.

“We basically were, in a nutshell, thrown together,” Taupin told PEOPLE magazine in an article published in 2019. Just 17 at the time, Taupin was still living with his parents in the Northern English town of Linconshire when he applied to the same ad that had caught Dwight’s attention. The pair wrote a handful of songs separately, as sort of musical pen pals, beginning with a track called “Scarecrow.”

‘They would finally meet face to face a short while later at a London demo recording studio belonging to their publisher, Dick James. A handshake and a hello led to a quick get-to-know-you meal around the corner at a café. They were friends before they paid the bill. “There was an immediate bonding,” says Taupin “I think we were both searching for something. Whether it was the same thing, I’m not sure, but it was definitely two loose orphans in a storm, finding an anchor in each other.”

Taupin soon left Linconshire and moved in with Reggie’s mother and stepfather. The pair shared bunkbeds in a tiny room where they poured over new records by Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. “From the time we met, we were pretty much inseparable,” says Taupin. “We were all each other had.” For John, who had spent years as a lonely only child, Taupin was more than just his songwriting partner. “He became the brother I never had.”

For Taupin, away from home and new to the city, Dwight’s fraternal love and acceptance would help him blossom as an artist and as a person.

CROWNLINE Method founder Todd Anthony Person comments: “Elton John, then known as Reginald Dwight, and Bernie Taupin met through luck, but their decades collaboration was about chemistry. Their birthdays formed a ‘suited and connected’ dynamic — which propelled them to the highest levels of fame and success.”

Adds Todd, “If someone is starting a business, working in a company and collaborating, or in a professional relationship in which one is providing and the other is receiving a service, chemistry is key to attain success.”

Todd concludes: “In a ‘suited and connected’ dynamic, people connect more easily and their gut feeling leads to barriers being removed, which in turn promotes creativity and productivity. We know this to be the case after reviewing hundreds of examples in a variety of fields.”
