He is the #1 New York Times' bestselling author of The Book of Afformations®: Discovering the Missing Piece to Abundant Health, Wealth, Love, and Happiness and the new book The 7-Figure Life: How to Leverage the 4 Focus Factors for More Wealth and Happiness.
He joins the show to discuss personal growth, success. the impact of poverty on mental health, and the need for a strong support system. He also discusses his invention of "Afformations," which engage the brain's embedded presupposition factor to help people achieve their goals.
St. John emphasizes the importance of balancing gratitude with striving for goals and facing fears to achieve success. He then walks through the four focus factors he outlines in his book, which are essential for those working from home in a world of infinite distractions.
In today's world of infinite distractions, it's becoming increasingly difficult to stay focused on our goals and achieve success. St. John outlines four key factors that can help us regain control of our lives and achieve more wealth and happiness. The four focus factors are time, energy, relationships, and money. But as Noah emphasizes, focusing solely on money at the expense of everything else can lead to a lack of time, energy, and relationships, rendering the money meaningless. Instead, he encourages us to balance gratitude with striving for our goals and facing our fears.
Social media can lead to isolation and loneliness, especially for the younger generation. So it's important to find a community of like-minded individuals who can offer encouragement and support on our journey towards success.
In a world of distractions and negativity, it's easy to lose sight of our goals and succumb to self-doubt. But by focusing on the four key factors outlined in "The Seven Figure Life" and implementing the Afformations method, we can regain control of our lives and achieve more wealth and happiness. So let's take a page from Noah's book and start focusing on what truly matters.

Speaker 1 (00:00:29) - Hey everybody. Welcome to The Work From Home Show. I'm Naso with Adam Schrader. Shout out to all our homies, homeboys, homegirls, home trans, all the work from Homers out there. Today. We have Congressman Dennis Kucinich on the show. You've probably heard of him, uh, if, if, if you've been around a few years, if you were around in 2004, 2008, that he was a presidential candidate for the Democrat Party. He's a Ohio Congressman from 1997 to 2013. He's the former chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. We'll talk a little bit about that. He's the author of the new bestselling book, the Division of Light and Power. So without further ado, Mr. Dennis Kucinich, thank you for joining us on the Work From Home Show.
Speaker 2 (00:01:22) - Uh, thank you very much for the invitation. And you know, I know people sometimes have trouble with my name. I, it took me a year to learn how to pronounce it, but it is Kucinich and I did represent, um, uh, Cleveland area in the United States Congress for 16 years. The book that I've written, the Division of Light and Power, is the story of, uh, the beginning of my career when I went to, um, uh, this Cleveland City Council and had the opportunity, uh, as a young councilman, 23 years old, to, uh, explore the depth of involvement of various interest groups, and in particular, the, uh, political corruption that was going on to undermine the city's municipal electric system. And I was quite alarmed when I saw that. And I started to take very careful notes about, uh, the machinations of the political system working with a monopoly, uh, utility, uh, conspiring to, uh, sell, uh, the city's, uh, municipally owned electric system. So the book begins there at, uh, on, on with a blackout in December of 1969. And the lights keep going out. And when you find out why the lights keep going out, it's shocking. And so the story opens there, and it goes right until my election is mayor. And through those years, which, uh, describe the, the tremendous battle that took place between my office, the utility of monopolies, the banks, and the mob.
Speaker 1 (00:03:05) - Wow, that sounds, that sounds scary. Let's, uh, let's talk a little bit more about that. I'm especially curious to learn more about, uh, just a little more detail on how you fought. Sure. Beat, uh, this utility monopoly and also the corporate espionage, espionage, and sabotage, bank co-conspirators, uh, organized crime. There were even assassination attempts, I believe.
Speaker 2 (00:03:36) - Right? Exactly. Well, here's, here's the way it came out. Uh, Cleveland has had its own, uh, municipal electric system, public power, uh, since the turn of the 20th century. And, uh, it, it has competed side by side in a third of the city with a private investor owned utility. The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company, uh, no, also known as C Ei. C EI tried to block the formation of Muni light right in its inception. At its inception. They were not successful in doing that. Over the years, though, they began to secretly plan and then execute a strategy to undermine the city's municipally owned utility by blocking repairs in the Cleveland City Council, which were needed to, um, uh, uh, to, uh, help the city's, uh, capacity to generate electricity. Uh, they, uh, also, uh, started a PR campaign with the general media who they, where they advertised heavily to attack and undermine the city's, uh, utility and public ownership.
Speaker 2 (00:04:50) - Furthermore, uh, the city wouldn't, when the private utility successfully blocked any repairs to the city generators, the city had to turn outside and said, we've gotta buy power from somewhere else. The c e I blocked the city from buying power outside the city, and then the city could only get power from c e I and c EI tripled the cost, so they would run up the, uh, city's operating expenses. And then, uh, finally, we, we were fighting for connection, you know, in Texas, uh, Texas found out about, uh, the, uh, importance of being able to connect outside your territory for power if you know you have, uh, a shutdown as you know, your experience with Ercot in, you know, in the early part of this year, . Yeah, that was fun. And so what happened is that, here's the thing, every, you know, being connected to the grid nationally was vital for the city of Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (00:05:54) - But c I blocked us from getting connected to the national grid, so we were isolated. So we had to rely on them for backup power in case we had an outage, which, you know, it was became likely because we weren't able to fix our equipment. And the book documents how some of the blackouts that the city experienced were actually created by C EI so that they could try to use that as an excuse to push the sale. And the public didn't understand this. They didn't understand why when the city needed a transfer of power from C ei, c e I operated that transfer in such a way to deliberately create a blackout on muni system. And that's all documented in the book. And so, you know, the kind of dirty tricks that went on were extraordinary. And c e I got their, you know, they got their comeuppance because the, uh, they were found by the nuclear regulatory commission to have violated numerous provisions of antitrust law.
Speaker 2 (00:06:59) - And they, you know, they, they tried price fixing cutthroat competition. And in the midst of all this, the city council was going to sell our municipal electric system, even though they knew that, uh, c EI had been undermining it and was trying to buy our system for a fraction. I mean, this is, this is a story of something that is unprecedented in US history, that this would come out, uh, the kind of underhandedness that was going on with this utility, uh, all in the, in their plans to try to take over the city owned electric system. And so, it, it, some people have compared the book to the movie Chinatown, uh, which involved water, whereas this involves electricity. So I was elected mayor on a, on a platform to save our municipal electric system. I got elected, I canceled a sale, which had been, um, uh, consummated, uh, and, uh, you know, just, we, we just won that by the skin of our teeth, uh, uh, won the issue by the skin of our teeth. And the second part of the book opens up on this, uh, on the saga that happened, and how the, the utility monopoly, the banks and other corporate interests, uh, put a tremendous squeeze on the city to try to force me as the mayor to give up our electric system.
Speaker 3 (00:08:24) - This sounds very similar to a lot of other bigger, not bigger necessarily, but other issues going on, on a, a national scale where the push towards privatization, where it seems like there's a lot of issues where politicians nationally are willing to let some programs just deteriorate and get worse and get worse, so that they can kind of push the whole, well, if the private sector did it, it would be better. Let's get it out of the hands of, uh, the government and give it to, um, private companies. How do we as citizens push back against that? Because, you know, like, if I don't agree with it and I need to talk to my congressional representative, I'm one of, you know, a couple million that they represent, or a hundred thousand that they represent, and I feel like just a, you know, throwing a pebble in a river, how does a normal citizen fight back against that?
Speaker 2 (00:09:14) - Well, first of all, I wanna say that you have, uh, correctly identified the, uh, urgency of this book at this time, because there, there is, uh, increased privat, there are increased privatization efforts underway, and they will accelerate once the American rescue plan money, uh, dries up, uh, you know, in city after city. So first of all, you have to, you know, when you see a privatization effort underway, uh, start asking questions right away, like, why, uh, I will promise you that every privatization effort results in the public, uh, public assets being stolen, uh, you can make an issue out of how much is being paid for that, uh, electric system, water system, whatever. Because I will, I will guarantee you every municipal asset that's ever up for privatizations being undervalued. That was part of our story. It was, uh, for example, uh, the c EI was ready to purchase, uh, muni light in Cleveland for 88.1 million.
Speaker 2 (00:10:24) - Uh, and, uh, we, we determined that the value of it was at, uh, at least a quarter of a billion dollars plus, uh, the loss to the taxpayers that would come when they, the taxpayers would've to pay the full rate. Plus the rate increases to the private utility would've to, uh, pay for street lighting and service to the city facilities to private utility, you know, and pay a premium price. And so taxes were gonna go up and, uh, rate payers who were forced to buy the private power would also see their, uh, budgets cut into by increased utility costs, privatization, uh, can, uh, and, and is often a nightmare for communities. This book shows how to fight it. But you, and the biggest and most important way is you have to do your homework. You have to do the research, and you have to pay attention to what's going on, not to what the media's saying, because all too often corporate media ignores the needs of the people and instead serves the needs of, of narrow economic interests that are gonna capitalize on a privatization.
Speaker 2 (00:11:34) - Now, this battle in Cleveland, which was unprecedented, drew in a bank, uh, which told me on December 15th, 1978, that either you, the mayor, the bank will not renew the city's credit on loans. I hadn't been taken out. And so I had to make a decision what I stood for. I told them, no, it turned out the bank was a business partner of the utility. They stood to profit as well from the privatization, shocking. And the banks will check this out. So the people of Cleveland followed my leadership and, and increased their taxes. They taxed themselves more. They pay off the defaulted notes on loans I hadn't taken out. And when the tax passed, the banks who had proposed the tax to pay off the notes, and who said that if you pass the tax, we'll take out a default, they were Ned on their commitment and kicked the, kept the city into default until I left office.
Speaker 2 (00:12:29) - And, uh, and in addition to that, uh, they had agreed to abide by the decision of the voters. And the question of people voted two to one to keep muni light, the banks in the corporate community turned around after the people voted two to one to say, Nope, you gotta sell that system, . I mean, this is, so I stood, I was 31 years old, and I stood against this crude, uh, extortionate exercise of corporate power that really was, you know, was so intent on having its way that they were prepared to destroy the city to get a, uh, a monopoly on electricity. But, you know, we stopped them ,
Speaker 1 (00:13:15) - First off, did the corporation, the electric company, did they try to pay you or buy you off? And how easy is it for corporations to buy off politicians?
Speaker 2 (00:13:28) - Oh, it's called campaign contributions, big ones. No, I, I, I, you know, what, what happened was this, uh, uh, the, the day of default, the biggest bank told me, Hey, look, uh, if you go ahead with this sale, we'll give, we'll, we'll loan, loan the city 50 million, and you can do whatever you want with it. You know, you, it was like a, a express pass to reelection, you know, all of a sudden you could start paving the streets in gold. And, uh, but of course, you know, I knew, you know, they, they were asking, I mean, it was a fraud. They were, they wanted, uh, me to give up an electric system that was worth more money than the monopoly was ready to pay for it. And they were gonna let the city borrow more money. I mean, give me a break, you know, I was, as I said, I was a very young person.
Speaker 2 (00:14:19) - I suppose they felt they could roll me at that point. You know, I looked younger than I, I was, and I think they probably, I had a certain amount of disbelief, cognitive dissonance, saying, oh geez, how can this be happening with this kid who's the mayor? You know, I was the youngest mayor in America at the time of any big city. But I, my, the task that I took on, uh, was one where I had to take a stand against these corporate interests that were determined to have their way, even if it meant, uh, uh, smearing the very city in which they operated.
Speaker 3 (00:14:54) - I want to touch on you becoming mayor there. How, what made you, and it always amazes me, when people go into politics in general, like, I have a friend who's one of my best friends, is a mayor of a city here in Texas, but it's like a 2000 person town, so it's nothing like Cleveland. What made you decide, like, what was, I mean, was it the electric situation that made you think you should go into public office? Or what led you to think I should get involved in politics?
Speaker 2 (00:15:22) - Well, you know, I, I entered politics at the age of 20 as a candidate for city council. Uh, and I, I got involved because, you know, growing up in the air of the sixties, uh, the change was in the wind. And I felt the best way to change things was to go inside the system. And I've always felt from a spiritual standpoint that my life didn't belong just to me, uh, that all of our lives belong to community, that, uh, you know, while we can make our own choices, that we should always try to do something for the betterment of society and not just, uh, take care of, you know, take, yeah, we have to take care of our sal and you also need to think of others as well. So that was the spirit that I brought into public life, uh, not to, uh, uh, uh, do well, but to do good.
Speaker 2 (00:16:17) - And I'm, um, uh, that brought me into, uh, contest for city council. I was elected on my second try by 16 votes. I beat an entrenched democratic machine to be elected to the council. And the story opens up on, uh, at Christmas time in 1969 with this holiday season blackout, which as we found out later on, uh, these blackouts were being created by this, uh, uh, private utility in their, as part of their scheme to take over the public system. So, you know, I, I started very early. I made a choice early to go on the inside. Um, and, you know, so I was motivated by, you know, wanting to be of service. And I still am.
Speaker 1 (00:17:02) - Shifting gears just a little bit. You chaired the Congressional Progressive Caucus to lessen income inequality way back in the early two thousands. The latest figures I've seen, income equality has only gotten worse. Can you explain why that is and what the initial goal of the C P C was and what's gone wrong with it?
Speaker 2 (00:17:28) - Well, you know, first of all, uh, the Congressional Progressive Caucus has had, uh, you know, a number of really important leaders, including Bernie Sanders, uh, uh, Pete DeFazio, uh, and others. And the purpose of the caucus was to present, um, a different approach to management of the government's resources. So we presented our own budget, which emphasized healthcare and education and housing, uh, and Deemphasized war and, and, you know, and military spending. Uh, the whole idea was about, you know, revisiting our, uh, what's what is necessary to support people in our society, uh, to support their, their existence. So this, this caucus, uh, has members who are quite diverse in their politics. Uh, and occasionally they'll vote as a block on certain issues in Congress. Uh, you know, it, it may happen less and less now, uh, there's a lot more pressure in Congress now that things are much more polarized, and, uh, every organization within the Congress is perhaps more fractionated than it's ever been. And so that, that is indeed a problem.
Speaker 3 (00:18:47) - So how did, how do we combat income inequality today then?
Speaker 2 (00:18:51) - First of all, every able-bodied person should have an opportunity to make a living. Um, and if the private sector doesn't, can't provide the jobs, the public sector has to, I mean, we're in an interesting position right now in the Covid era where, uh, the economy is starting to move ahead. But, you know, there's so many job openings now. People, uh, are just, you know, getting back into a, a mode of, um, of, well, first of all, work's being redefined. And secondly, uh, there's a lot of jobs out there that are wanting. So, you know, it's a little bit different than it was a few years ago where the economy was being managed in such a way that a certain amount of unemployment was seen as being necessary, the proper functioning of the economy. We don't seem to have that right now, but I think that it would be good if the government, uh, created a jobs program and gave people an opportunity to do long-term productive work in restoring our environment and in, uh, in helping to repair our infrastructure.
Speaker 2 (00:20:03) - Uh, you know, I'm, I I, and the other thing is that having work with no benefits is, you know, quite a challenge. Uh, people, uh, uh, are finding that the cost of healthcare is extraordinary, and being able to meet your healthcare needs of your family might be almost impossible, even though you may have a job that is paying you more than $15 an hour. So you, you know, it's, it the, um, COVID added a, uh, a layer of complexity to this question of, uh, of employment and, and meaningful work. And, um, it's gonna, I think, take a while to sort that out. But I think our polar star has to be a full employment economy with, uh, meaningful, productive work available to all those who are able to work and with, uh, supportive systems for those who can, for no fault of their own, cannot work.
Speaker 1 (00:20:58) - You touched on the polarization in Congress right now. When you were in Congress, was it more friendly? Were people more friendly? Were Republicans more friendly to you? Did people, were politicians more willing to work together, or? Well,
Speaker 2 (00:21:17) - Let, lemme tell you, it, it, you know, yes and no, uh, uh, you know, there's always a certain amount of political polarity that that exists. I mean, the very basic, the very basis of a two-party system is by its definition polarized. You have Democrats have Republicans, and for some people, never the twin shall meet. Uh, I did it differently. I worked on both sides of the aisle, and as a result, I had the opportunity to make, uh, uncommon friendships with, uh, people on the Republican side, including those in the Texas delegation. Uh, you know, when I, I mean, I'll tell you a story. To give you an example. The Clinton administration was looking for authorization to continue the bombing of, um, Serbia. Uh, and they were, you know, and to keep the war going over there. And I was, I was opposed to that. So, uh, they, the authorization I think, was Senate Joint Resolution 21 came up in 1999, and I was trying to figure out a way to defeat it.
Speaker 2 (00:22:26) - And finally, I came upon a plan that would've required the help of the Republicans. So I went to Tom Delay and I explained to him, uh, what my objective was. Now, he may have had some political, uh, strategy in mind, but the long story short is we put together a coalition of Republicans and Democrats, and we stopped the war. Now, somebody would say, well, delay would never go along with something like that. Well, he did, and we worked together, and we stopped a war that was, that should have never been fought by. And so, uh, you know, I'm, what I'm saying is that forget about party, forget about ideology, look to what your goals are and see if you can find a way to get alliances at certain times and places. And you might be surprised. So I never, um, you know, when, when people, you know, when I'm looking for Ally, I don't care about Party at all.
Speaker 2 (00:23:24) - I mean, I've worked with Ron Paul on so many of Texas, so on so many issues of foreign policy. And we found that, well, we had differences in domestic policy. We work together to try to limit us involvement in these, in these wars. And, you know, the, that's why I'm saying there might be polarization today, but it's often mindless people, you know, need to talk to one another and find out what they actually stand for. . And like in any family, you may not agree even within a family with each other on something. And it could be very important, you look to those things you can't agree on, and that's where you do your work. And so that's what, you know, that was my approach in Congress, and I think that approach could still work. Today.
Speaker 3 (00:24:10) - We've talked about kind of money in politics being an issue in buying off politicians. You look at what's happening today in, you know, congressional races, especially presidential races. I mean, you see campaigns spending, you know, a billion plus dollars for a job that makes $400,000 a year. And, you know, there's a whole lot more to it than, you know, just that, just the job and the salary. You know, obviously being president has so much power in it, and you also see it in congressional races where money from all over the country flows into one specific state. How do we keep our politicians in a way that the community can still show their support for them, but they're not being completely bought off?
Speaker 2 (00:24:54) - Well, you know, going back to the book, uh, the Division of Light and Power, uh, when these corporations had their interest, I never went to them for money. So nobody forces an elected official or somebody running for office to go to a certain group and say, Hey, give me money. I mean, that's where it begins. And when they do give money, nobody forces you to take that money if they offer it to you. So, you know, it's not as though, uh, we're just helpless cuz those who aspire off have to be very careful about, uh, who is, uh, providing contributions to them. And to make sure that you can be independent of those contributions and function autonomously with, without, uh, um, without the, uh, large Jess, which comes into campaign coffers. And that is very tough. And what I'm prescribing here is not easy, but the book that, you know, the Division Light and Power points out, that when people organize at a community level, they can overcome almost any interest group.
Speaker 2 (00:26:02) - But, you know, it's the organization and the knowledge of what is actually happening that empowers people to overcome the influence of money. I mean, I was, you know, we were heavily outspent in Cleveland on the, uh, on, on every election that involved either, either, um, uh, you know, either with my name on the ballot or an issue oriented election. We were heavily, uh, outspent, but because we aligned with the popular interest and how people understand their interest, we won anyway. Now, I eventually was defeated in 1979 because the banks kept the city into default, and people at that time did not understand why despite having paid, uh, uh, more money on their taxes, we were still in default. But years later now, the people of Cleveland understand it. So yeah, campaign contributions have, can totally corrupt the system, but no one forces these candidates to take that money. And if they do take the money, then that needs to be noted by the voters, uh, to see if those interests align with the, uh, more specific concerns of, uh, the electorate.
Speaker 1 (00:27:15) - That's Congressman Dennis Kucinich. Dennis Kucinich, thank you so much for joining us on The Work From Home Show. Your latest book is called The Division of Light and Power, the Division of Light and Power and your website dot, uh,

Speaker 0 (00:00:01) - Forced to work from home by your employer laid off or feeling depressed at home. Do you wanna make money working from anywhere? We'll show you how to do it from your couch. It's time for another episode of The Work From Home Show, coming to you from their homes in Austin, Texas, and Tampa, Florida. Here are your hosts, Adam and Naresh.
Speaker 1 (00:00:28) - Hey everybody. Welcome to The Work From Home Show. Shout out to all our homies, homeboys, homegirls, home Trans, all the work from Homers out there. I'm na This, uh, today we have Tracy Batiste on the show. She is the number one New York Times bestselling author of Minecraft, the Crash in the new book, mermaid and Pirate. Tracy Batiste, thank you so much for joining us on the show.
Speaker 2 (00:00:55) - Thank you so much for having me. Appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (00:00:58) - Yeah, and I'm really looking forward to reading your book, mermaid In In Pirate. I haven't gotten a chance to, to read the hard version yet, but I'm gonna be reading it to my children. Yes, I think it's, uh, it, it's, it's very different from your Minecraft. Now, your Minecraft book, I believe is more a novel if I'm not mistaken. And Mermaid and Pirate is a children's book,
Speaker 2 (00:01:20) - Right? Yeah. So I write pretty much always for kids. It just, it sort of depends on the age group. And Mermaid and Pirate is a picture book. It is for younger kids and my books like Minecraft and the Jammies series are for older kids. Ones who are reading on their own and who wanna read longer novels. So yeah. Um, mermaid and Pirate, definitely for the little guys.
Speaker 1 (00:01:47) - Tell us a little bit about how you got interested in writing Fiction Fantasy, if you want to call it. Walk us through your journey. Is this something that you always wanted to do as a kid? Did you use to watch a lot of Disney movies? Tell us more.
Speaker 2 (00:02:03) - Yeah, I actually decided that I wanted to be a writer when I was three, which is kind of ridiculous. Oh, you know, , I, um, it's kind of ridiculous cuz you know, like when you're, when you're really little and somebody asks you what you wanna be, it's always like all of these different things. And, um, I had so many books in my house and a lot of them were fairy tales. Um, a lot of them were grims fairy tales. And I wanted to be a writer because I really love stories. My mom, my dad, everybody in my family would read to me, they would tell me stories. There was a big oral tradition in Tritan Tobago where I grew up. And so I was, you know, steeped in stories all the time. So it did not seem like that farfetched to think that I could grow up and be one of these people who has their name on the cover of a book. So I was three when I decided that that was a thing that I wanted to do. And, um, even though I diverged from that a little bit, I was a teacher, I was an editor and so on. I always was interested in storytelling. And so I always came back to this idea that I could write stories. So yeah, I started writing really, really early and kept with it. Um, my first published book came out in 2005, and I have been publishing pretty steadily ever since.
Speaker 1 (00:03:27) - I didn't know that your first published book came out in oh five, that's nearly 20 years ago. Was that through a traditional I'm, as there wasn't self-publishing back then, so I'm assuming that was a, a book deal that you got for that first book.
Speaker 2 (00:03:41) - Yeah, that one was Simon and Schuster. And since I have worked with a lot of different publishers, uh, mermaid and Pirate comes out through Workman, which is a division of Hasat. And, um, they have actually been my home for quite some time now. I have a series with them. The Jumpy series is a fantasy for middle grade readers. I have this picture book, obviously. I have, um, a non-fiction book called African Icons, 10 People Who Shaped History that is also for middle grade readers. And so yeah, they've, they've been my home for several books.
Speaker 1 (00:04:22) - How many total books have you written?
Speaker 2 (00:04:26) - I think at this point it's 20,
Speaker 1 (00:04:29) - So no, you can't, you can't even keep track the podcast you're
Speaker 2 (00:04:31) - Sent. Yeah, I I'm not exactly sure because, well, part of the part of it is that I am constantly working, right? Like, uh, you know, your podcast is for working from home writers, uh, working, you know, people working from home. And that is 100% who I am. I am a mom who works from home and I am constantly working on something. So I just handed in a book on Friday, just gone, and I have another book that I need to hand in at the end of two months and yeah. Oh wow. Just, you know, cost
Speaker 1 (00:05:03) - From the same publisher. They want you to submit some,
Speaker 2 (00:05:06) - Um, no, these are actually two different publishers that I'm working with this time. Um, so the same publisher from Mermaid and Pirate, uh, is the same publisher that I owe a book to in two months, but I owe a book. I, uh, the book I handed in on Friday was for a different publisher. So yeah, I am just, you know, it is very much a, um, a business and as a business I am always working and I'm always working on something. I'm always doing something new. I'm always looking for my next story. I'm always looking for the next thing that is going to engage a young reader and yeah. Right now, so I'm hoping that Marian and Pirate is that thing that engages the, the next set of readers for me.
Speaker 1 (00:05:54) - Can you tell us a little, you, you said this is your business and Mermaid and Pirate is a, a children's picture book, and you have an illustrator who did the pictures, Minecraft, the crash, similar, you have, uh, images that go along with it. So how did you partner up with your collaborators and you guys just continue to push out more projects together?
Speaker 2 (00:06:18) - Right, so for the most part, the publisher pairs me up with an illustrator for the picture books because with picture books, obviously, you know, they're, they're pictures throughout with, uh, projects like Minecraft Crash and the Jumpy Series. Those I really, um, only need a cover illustrator for. And because I obviously am not an illustrator, I only write, um, the publisher pairs me up with who they think is going to be the right person to convey, uh, the images that they need on that cover or in those interiors in the right way. So, um, so they, there was a cover designer for Minecraft, the Crash, um, the, I think it's the same cover de designer that does all of the Minecraft novels that Mojang puts out. Um, so, you know, that was something that had already been planned even before I came on board to do a Minecraft book. Um, Vivian Tow was the person who did the covers for the entire Jumbies series, and Liesel Adams did the, um, illustrations for Mermaid and Pirates. So the cover in all of the interiors, all of those bright, vibrant colors and the, um, the facial expressions that are so amazingly expressive for both Mermaid and Pirate because, you know, they don't speak the same language. So a lot of their, a lot of their communication is non-verbal. And, uh, Liesl was able to, to convey that in the, in the illustrations.
Speaker 1 (00:07:55) - Now, your book, Mindcraft, is that based on the video game?
Speaker 2 (00:07:59) - It is a world, it is a story set in the world of Minecraft. So the, uh, Mojang wanted me to write a fantasy because that is what I am best known for. I am really well known for writing fantasy, for writing, um, action scenes. And they wanted something like that for, um, their Minecraft world. So they came to me and asked me what ideas I had for it, and I was able to come up with something fairly quickly and write this story in which, um, the main character Bianca gets stuck inside of a virtual reality Minecraft world.
Speaker 1 (00:08:44) - So to, did you already know about Minecraft before or did you have to start doing some research or playing the game, or how did that
Speaker 2 (00:08:53) - Oh, I, I mean, I knew what Minecraft was because I have, I come from a family of gamers, so literally everybody in my house played Minecraft except for me. I, I get really nauseated, um, playing video games or watching video games, so it's really difficult for me to, to play video games at all. Um, but I did know about Minecraft because I, my kids were younger at the time and they were huge Minecraft fans and they helped me a lot. My son especially, he was 10 at the time I started working on this book and he became the consultant on this Oh wow. Book for me, cuz he would show me how to play the game, you know, for as long as I could stand because again, I do get nauseated. Um, and he would answer all my questions about how things could work in the story and what, you know, I could or could not get away with. And he did such a good job of it that Mojang actually gave him credit on the book as a consultant. So when you look on that, on that title page at the very bottom, his name is on there as a consultant,
Speaker 1 (00:10:04) - Minecraft consultant. I like it.
Speaker 2 (00:10:07) - Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:10:07) - Talking about your family a little bit more, you said that your, your kids are now somewhat grown. Mm-hmm. , you work from home. Tell us a little bit about the overall journey. Okay. So you told us you started at three years old, you wanted to be a writer or you started writing at three, but like you, did he go to college study literature or English or something? Did he go straight to writing out of college or did he work a job? Tell us a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (00:10:37) - Sure. So I did start writing, you know, pretty early. I think I tried to write my very first novel when I was about 12. And that of course was not a success because I was 12 . You know, I really, um, was just starting on my journey then. But I kept writing. I did go to college, I went to NYU and I got my degree in literature. My bachelor's degree is in literature. And then I went back and I got my master's degree in education cuz I thought that I wanted to be a teacher as well. And I was teaching pre-K, kindergarten, second grade, sixth grade. These were all the grades I was teaching. And I found that as a teacher, I was so busy and I was so, uh, involved in what I was doing in the classroom that I really didn't have time to write.
Speaker 2 (00:11:33) - So I decided to leave teaching and I then I went into educational publishing. So I became a publisher, um, an editor, uh, for an educational publisher. And that really afforded me more time to write. So while I was editing, I was also writing, and that's how my first book was published. I was, I was able to finish it while I was working as an editor. I would come home at night and write. And after that I was publishing more books while I was working as an editor. And then when the first Jammies book came out, uh, that was in 2015, that's when I decided that I was going to start writing full-time. So it took me, uh, quite a long time. It really was 10 years between my first book being published and, uh, the ju the first Jumbies book being published and me deciding that I could now work from home on my writing solely, um, at that point.
Speaker 1 (00:12:34) - That's a pretty cool story. And, and then as far as working from home goes, you get most of your ideas from home, your writing at home, do you have a set location at home to, to do your writing or are you just doing it on the fly?
Speaker 2 (00:12:49) - I do have an office. So you are talking to me right now inside of my office, and this is where I do most of my work. I find that it is easier for me to have a specific location where I do most of the work that I, I need to do. But usually when I start a story, it starts in like little bits and pieces. So often I have a notebook that I just walk around with and wherever I get ideas, you know, as I'm walking around or if I'm traveling or whatever, I will write them down in the notebook. And most of my stories begin longhand, even if they are picture books. Even if they are novels, um, they always start longhand. So I start them, you know, writing and it doesn't have to be inside my office that I'm doing that longhand writing, uh, of the initial ideas that can really happen anywhere.
Speaker 2 (00:13:45) - But once I start really solidifying what the story is going to be, that's when I come to my office, I sit at my desk, I turn on the computer, and I go to my notes, my handwritten notes, and that's when I start writing. Um, I often then print it out so that I can read it and mark it up long hand. That often happens in my office, but doesn't necessarily have to happen in my office. So I would say, um, you know, like maybe 75% of my writing happens in my office at home, and the rest of it might happen really anywhere.
Speaker 1 (00:14:23) - You wrote a piece in the New York Times titled Mermaids Have Always Been Black. What do you mean by that?
Speaker 2 (00:14:33) - So when, uh, Disney announced that Halle Bailey was going to play Ariel, there was a lot of pushback about this idea of this black woman playing a mermaid. And people didn't seem to be able, able to grasp the concept that, um, mermaids can literally be anybody, right? Um, I mean, there was the initial kind of ridiculousness of this is a fantasy character, so it doesn't really matter what the race of the fantasy character is, but because of my growing up in Trinidad and Tobago and my particular interest in, uh, folklore, fantasy and mythology from all over the world, but very specifically the folklore, fantasy and mythologies of black and brown people, um, I happened to know that there were a lot of mermaids, um, from various cultures that were black and brown, um, but they didn't have a chance to, you know, like have a Disney movie made about them.
Speaker 2 (00:15:44) - So that piece was really about the idea that, um, that mermaids could be anybody from anywhere, but also to introduce the idea that, um, mermaid stories have existed in all of these different places. So for example, um, South Africa, um, has in, uh, a place called Caru has these cave paintings of mermaids from, you know, like millennia ago. And, um, Persia had mermaids. Um, there are ancient stories from China and Japan that have mermaids. Um, the Maori people from New Zealand have mermaids. There are mermaids from, uh, south America and Central America. So, you know, mermaids really can come from anywhere. And the idea that this one particular casting was somehow, um, you know, inappropriate because it was a mermaid and mermaids can only look a certain way was, was a little bit ridiculous. And so that's really what that, um, op-ed was about. And you know, it was after that that my editor, she asked if I would write a Black Mermaid story and I said, yeah, sure. You know, I've always loved mermaids and it had never occurred to me to write a Black Mermaid story particularly. Um, I had touched on black mermaids in one of my series, but you know, not a story that's centered on black mermaids. And that's really where Mermaid and Pyre started. It started because of all of this sermon drawing and then, you know, the op-ed and then my editor saying, Hey, hey, how about a Black Mermaid story? And, and then Mermaid and Pirate was born.

"The biggest, most successful brands today are only getting bigger and will continue to buy up their competition. Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Walmart, McDonalds: there is no getting around these seven companies in our lifetimes."
"You don't have to go to restaurants anymore. You can just order Uber Eats, and the food is at your hands within an hour."
"Brick-and-mortar businesses should look to sell and cash out immediately, and learn about technology as soon as possible."
"All of these old-school business owners are already feeling pain because of technology. It's only going to get worse."

Unions have been an incredibly controversial topic since their inception. Some say they're the lifeblood of the working class who have brought about immense good. Others say they're bureaucratic organizations that stymie new workers from coming in and are just out for their own self-interest.
But when people leave the work place and start working from their home, what does that mean for unions?
Mark Mix, President of The National Right to Work Committee and National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, joins Adam and Naresh to discuss all of the impacts this new paradigm shift could have.

Naresh predicted the current economic changes and global labor transformation way back in November 2019 when he went on the Financial Survival Network. We're going to republish that interview he did so you can prepare yourself - and your families - for the coming changes in employment so you can make yourself as valuable as possible while still making great money.
When the economy went bust in 2001, companies were forced to seek better, more cost-effective ways of conducting business through technology. Fast-forward 18 years later, and it's easier than ever to outsource services and manufacturing. It’s more efficient and improves the bottom line.
Naresh talks about the next transformation of the global economy, which is now here thanks to the Wuhan Virus. He was already seeing it with own own business and its services, which have displaced in-house, full-time employees and increased client capabilities.
Topics include:
- Why trade shows are diminishing.
- How the cost of conferences and trade shows were already forcing companies to seek other web-based solutions.
- Why online events and summits have boomed over the past two years, and why they will dominate moving forward.
- You’re no longer limited by space and geography.
Naresh did this interview in November 2019, long before the Wuhan Virus was even in existence.
Quotables:
"We are now living in a time where almost everything will go remote and digital."
"2009 was a global economic crisis. It was a wake-up call for businesses to find ways to cut costs and get more done by spending less."
"Whenever the next recession comes - it could be next year - it's going to be the next transformation in the global economy where companies and corporations will go freelance, contract, remote, and digital."
"Remote and digital will affect office space, commercial real estate, and transportation. I'm very bearish on commercial real estate."
"Amazon and Walmart will put its competitors out of business and change commercial real estate."
"I don't think the average American is paying attention to these changes that will come. They aren't understanding what this means for them and their jobs. They are content where they are right now. So much is going to change. It's easy for my generation not to think about the future. The previous generation did this, and then 2008 happened, and they found themselves displaced."
"The oil & gas industry, since 2014, it's been a bloodbath. They will continue to cut costs, hire part-time workers, temps, independent contractors, lay off tons of employees, stop projects altogether. People thought the industry was a good ol' boys network. People need to be careful with the complacency."
"Focus on skills. Make yourself valuable. Create and provide value. The economy will hire people who will get the job done... not the degree they have. If you can master these areas, you'll be fine when the comeuppance happens."

The simple fact is that every office has people of multiple generations.
It's imperative on boss/manager/leader to figure out how to navigate the differences in each age range in order to ensure success. The simple fact of the matter is that leaders are only there to get results. So you have to bridge the technological divide (ESPECIALLY when everyone's working from home), avoid the common issues that disrupt relationships between generations, and remember that even though everyone's at home, the principles of leadership haven't changed.

One of the biggest concerns of employers when looking at running a remote work force is simple: how do I know they're actually working?
Answering this question is crucial both to the employer and the employee. If the employee can prove they're working at home then they're more likely to be allowed to work from home after the pandemic subsides.
Liam Martin, co-founder and CMO of Time Doctor, the Running Remote Conference, and Staff.com, joins Adam and Naresh to discuss how his software can help put everyone's mind at ease while upping productivity, as well as how the Running Remote Conference was able to go completely virtual this year.

"Companies will figure out that it's better for employees to work from home. People are most productive outside of office hours. People have family stuff to take care of. Offices have sick people coming in for no reason and getting everyone else sick."
Today's episode is an interview Naresh did with Deb Krier on The Business Power Hour back in 2017. The two delve into the digital evolution of corporatism, self driving cars contribution to the digital economy, digital disruptions to various industries, and more.
Quotables:
"For those in the corporate world who have to show up to the office and go to meetings, those companies and people are in for a real awakening. The next recession will give the corporatists the excuse to cut costs and deadweight. It's a huge waste of money to pay all these perks and benefits when they can outsource for a lower cost and higher return. The next recession will give companies an excuse to get rid of full-time employees and to shift their business models." "Companies will figure out that it's better for employees to work from home. People are most productive outside of office hours. People have family stuff to take care of. Offices have sick people coming in for no reason and getting everyone else sick." "Working remotely efficiently and effectively is going to become a skill-set that employers and clients are looking for. It saves a lot of money for the company. It shows you're focused and self-motivated. They're qualities you want to have."
"The digitization is an opportunity for entrepreneurs and independent consultants to be innovative." "Most politicians don't understand this because they don't run their own businesses, and the ones who do, like Trump and Romney, they come from the 20th century where they have huge staff. They don't understand the reason why jobs are dwindling. There are easier, more efficient digital solutions to run businesses."
"Technology is making it easier to do things. It's going to continue to move this way." "The medical industry is about to have some major changes and overhaul. Insurance: same thing. The legal industry has already gotten disrupted and is ripe for more disruption. Technology streamlines the legal process to prevent lawyers from milking clients. Residential and commercial real estate, auto maintenance... all industries are going through a transformation." "People won't like change. There's going to be initial pain and resistance. But the human mind is really good at adapting." Website:

Predictions can take some time to come true, but Naresh's was one that was destined to happen. Listen in to Naresh being interviewed on The Entrepreneur Way with Neil Ball back in 2016. The two explore why the digital landscape and why the work from home environment is so successful in today's world.
Quotables:
"You will never anticipate any of this stuff, I mentioned earlier, you have some great months, you have some terrible months, you just never know. You never know, but it takes a certain type of personality to go through with it and to I guess take that risk."
"Online and digital is where business and the economy are heading."
"People need to understand that we now live in the 21st century digital economy. Regardless of what your business is - you can be a doctor starting your own practice, you can be an accountant setting up your own tax advising shop or whatever CPA type of company you want to start - but I think having an understanding of the digital marketplace, is the first step in starting your business, because everything is going digital. The way people shop, the way people conduct business, the way people communicate, relationships, currencies, they are going digital, and you need to understand the marketplace, you need to understand the opportunities that are in this digital marketplace, because if you don’t, you will be leaving money on the table. So I highly highly recommend that people learn as much as they can about the opportunities that exist in the digital marketplace."
"Websites like Upwork.com and Fiverr.com, people who I have met overseas digitally, who I met through message boards and forums... having all these contacts and connections whom I found digitally has really streamlined my business processes. It's cut costs. It's cut the cost of doing business. Its cut the cost of starting a business tremendously, and five years ago, I didn’t know any of this stuff at all. It's because the digital economy and the digital market wasn’t as developed as it is today."
"I believe that if you look at all these successful business people, one common thread that you will notice among almost all of them is they own real estate. They own property. I don’t own any property or real estate yet, but its an area that I want to get into. Living is a necessity. Living in shelter is a necessity, so there is always going to be demand for residential real estate. The digital economy is going to disrupt commercial real estate. But having a home to live in, to bathe in, to eat dinner at the table: thats a necessity that is going to stay. You can’t digitize that. It's going to stay forever."
"I live at home. I work at home. I do everything at home. My meetings are at home. I do podcast interviews on Skype from home. I live on a beach in Tampa Bay, Florida. The beach has WiFi. I do lots of work from here. I write my books from here. There is just an incredible amount of freedom. I make my own schedule. I can sleep in if I want. I can go out at night and come home late if I want as long as I get my work done and am on top of my stuff. That freedom and control I have over the people who work for me, over my businesses: it's really a great feeling."

Being shut inside our homes and forced to adapt quickly to changing times has led many of us to try and figure out who we are. There's a grieving process that happens when such a drastic shift happens so fast, and we need to allow it to take place.
BUT, we cannot let it change who we are and how we operate. It's important to not ask "why is this happening to me" but rather "why is this happening for me".
Mike Robbins, former professional baseball player and author of the new book We're All in This Together: Creating a Team Culture of High Performance, Trust, and Belonging, joins Adam and Naresh to discuss these things, as well as how you can reposition your business to thrive when the virus ends, how to avoid losing your authentic self, and the two types of credibility we all need.

Here is the letter Dr. Hotze sent to President Donald Trump in regards to the response to COVID-19:
April 8, 2020
President Donald J. Trump
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President,
Please receive my kind regards which I extend you with this letter. Thank you for your strong leadership.
With this correspondence I would like to urge you to get Americans back to work.
There is no need to lock down our country, close businesses and churches, or quarantine our citizens. The COVID-19 pales in significance when compared to the other causes of disease and death in the U.S. and worldwide.
Since graduating from the University of Texas in Houston in 1976, the medical centers which I have owned have treated over 40,000 patients. In 1989 I established the Hotze Health & Wellness Center in Houston, Texas, which promotes natural approaches to ensure that our patients obtain and maintain health and wellness without pharmaceutical drugs. The goals that I have with each one of our patients is to enable them to 1) strengthen their immune system and 2) increase their energy level.
It is from my 44 years of clinical experience that I make the following observations and recommendations.
The treatment cannot be worse than the disease.
It appears that the current strategy for the coronavirus situation is a shot gun approach which is causing a tremendous amount of collateral damage. It seems that your advisors do not understand the cost risk benefit equation. By declaring an all-out war on a viral infection that pales in significance when compared to the major causes of disease and death in the world and in the United States, they have destroyed, in three weeks, the tremendous economy that you helped build over the past three years.
If we spent the same amount of time, money and effort that we have spent on this coronavirus situation, educating our citizens on how to obtain and maintain health and wellness naturally, without pharmaceutical drugs, then we could dramatically reduce the morbidity and mortality rate of numerous diseases, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, strokes, cancer, and diabetes.
This all-out war, shot gun approach, toward stopping the coronavirus infections, has led to the lock down of businesses, churches, schools and public events, and to the quarantining of the population. This has destroyed the tremendous economy that developed under your leadership and caused a huge amount of collateral damage to our fellow countrymen.
Ten million individuals have already lost their jobs in the first two weeks of shutting down the economy.
St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said the coronavirus economic freeze could cost 47 million jobs and send the unemployment rate past 32%, according to St. Louis Fed projections.
Millions of businesses and individuals are on the verge of bankruptcy.
As the CEO of Hotze Health & Wellness Center in Houston, Texas, and as the CEO of Conservative Republicans of Texas, I have been communicating with over 150,000 individuals through my social media platforms, specifically, my Facebook accounts, Hotze Health and CRTX News. The biggest concern my followers have is about the unwarranted destruction of their businesses and their jobs, as well as the loss of their constitutional liberties.
The government employed health bureaucrats, the fake news media, conventional medicine gurus, and the socialist politicians, have created irrational fear, mass hysteria and panic among the public. This is leading us down the path of national economic suicide that will have enormous adverse public health and economic consequences for many years to come.
Unfortunately, the government health bureaucrats have little or no clinical experience in treating patients, and yet they are making unilateral, monumental decisions about the direction we are taking with the coronavirus situation. Not one of them has talked about how individuals can strengthen their immune systems by eating healthy, taking vitamin and mineral supplementation, exercising daily and having a good night’s sleep.
When I appeared on the National Fox News Coronavirus Update on Sunday, March 15th, I encouraged the listening audience to strengthen their immune system by following my ABCDZ immune system program. Vitamins A, B Complex, C, D, and Zinc are essential to strengthening the immune system.
Please allow me to underscore my key point. There is no need to lock down our country, close businesses and churches, or quarantine our citizens. The COVID-19 pales in significance when compared to the other causes of disease and death in the U.S. and worldwide.
The rifle approach, which I recommend, is simple. It would encourage the infirm and debilitated elderly, and those with preexisting health conditions to sequester themselves, until herd immunity can be built among the rest of society.
Every healthy person should go back to work and build that herd immunity.
With this correspondence I have enclosed my April 2020 Hotze Healthy Living newsletter, entitled The Coronavirus Issue. I have also enclosed my lawsuit against Harris County Judge, Lina Hidalgo’s order banning church services. In this lawsuit, I make the case that the coronavirus situation does not rise to the point that our First Amendment constitutional rights of worship and peaceable assembly can be infringed upon or denied. Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai is my expert witness, and he has written an affidavit that challenges the current approach to the coronavirus situation. He is a world-renowned immune system expert who received his doctorate from M.I.T. in biological engineering. Dr. Shiva’s affidavit is included.
Thank you for having called for a National Day of Prayer on Sunday, March 15, 2020.
As Christians, rather than being fearful, we should be confident, because we place our trust in our Sovereign God and in His divine providence, especially in times of adversity. “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and a sound mind*.”*– 2 Timothy 1:7
We should demonstrate the courage of our Christian, Biblical convictions. When the world is in bedlam and hysteria is the order of the day, we can place our trust in the Lord God of Hosts and face the future with confidence and equanimity. We should claim this promise from His word for ourselves, our families, and friends. “No evil will befall me, nor any plague enter my tent.”– Psalm 91:10
Mr. President, thank you for your bold leadership.
Let’s get Americans back to work and Make America Great Again.
With much admiration for your leadership, I am,
Your obedient servant,
Steven F. Hotze, M.D.
