What if everything you've been told about AI and your job is wrong?

Sharon Gai sits down with host and producer Dr. Tom Dutta on The Quiet Warrior Show, and this one is going to stop you in your tracks.

Sharon moved to Vancouver at age 7 from China, not speaking a word of English. She hid her dumpling lunches so the other kids wouldn't stare. She hid who she was. Then, 18 years later, she moved back to China for work, only to be told she wasn't Chinese enough. Between those two worlds she forged a philosophy she calls Culture Fluid, and a career at the cutting edge of global AI and commerce.

A TEDx speaker. A Wiley author. Named Top AI Voice 2026. Sharon has advised Walmart, LVMH, Coca-Cola, and heads of state. And she's here to say what most people are afraid to:

AI doesn't replace jobs. It slices off tasks. And knowing the difference is everything.

In this episode you'll discover:

✓ Why being different is your biggest AI advantage, not your liability

✓ How to split your job into 'AI tasks' and 'human tasks' right now

✓ The 'Busy Bee to Beekeeper' shift that changes how leaders think about productivity

✓ What the West is still missing from China's AI playbook

✓ Why doing more with less starts with clarity, not hustle

Sharon's new book HOW TO DO MORE WITH LESS (Wiley, March 2026) is out now. This is the conversation the whole world needs.

What does it take for a man to outrun his own ghosts?

In this episode of The Quiet Warrior Show, host Tom Dutta sits with Garnet Morris, Canadian entrepreneur, endurance athlete, and author of 17 Runs – The Unbeaten Path to Unlock Life's True Potential.

On the surface, Garnet built success in the world of wealth management — a polished professional in tailored suits advising other high-achievers. But beneath that exterior lived a man shaped by deep loss and quiet battles. He lost two siblings to suicide. He once carried an extra 130 pounds and the weight of self-doubt. He admits he was hard to live with, harder to like, and for years he buried pain beneath performance.

Then came the runs. Seventeen of them. Each one a ritual of reckoning. Each one a mile closer to forgiveness. Through running, Garnet began to shed not only weight, but shame, anger, and the story he'd been living under. What emerged was not perfection — but peace.

This conversation goes beyond success and into the unseen terrain of grief, endurance, mental health, and leadership. It is a story of breaking, rebuilding, and learning to run toward your own truth.

🎧 This is the first-time audio release of this conversation.

📝 EPISODE DESCRIPTION

What does it take to reclaim truth in a world built on noise? And what does it cost a man to carry stories he never asked for?

In this powerful FINAL CUT episode of The Quiet Warrior Show, host Tom Dutta sits down with John Krotec — U.S. Army veteran, founder of NeoMasculinity Solutions, and author of The Sentinel Handbook — for a conversation that goes far beyond surface-level success.

John's journey spans military life, high-altitude expeditions, building an eleven-million-dollar business before the internet, and surviving a traumatic brain injury that unearthed long-buried memories of physical trauma, violation, and silence. Rather than run from the truth, John chose to face it — and transform it into clarity, agency, and leadership.

This episode explores identity, emotional resilience, self-leadership, and what it truly means to reclaim your story in a chaotic world. It's not about performance or polish. It's about courage, responsibility, and the quiet strength required to live in truth.

This is The Quiet Warrior Show — where real conversations create real transformation.

Over the span of his illustrious career, Mike began by starting the first storefront law office in Canada, and establishing the UBC law school legal advice clinic (1968-71). He then went on to serve for four terms as a Vancouver Alderman (1972-980), until he became a tremendously successful and articulate Mayor of Vancouver for three terms (1980-1986). In that position he played a prominent role in establishing Vancouver as one of the world's most livable cities through effective land use and planning. Mike then moved on to serve as the 30th Premier of British Columbia (1991-1996), where he extended the boundaries of quality of life in urban areas, with the 1995 Growth Strategy Act.

In that position he played a prominent role in establishing Vancouver as one of the world's most livable cities through effective land use and planning. Mike then moved on to serve as the 30th Premier of British Columbia (1991-1996), where he extended the boundaries of quality of life in urban areas, with the 1995 Growth Strategy Act.

Among his many noteworthy achievements at that time was his success in safeguarding more than 12 percent of the province's land base, establishing 500 new protected areas.

After retiring from politics, Mike made headlines in 2002, when a devastating six-metre fall left him partially paralyzed. He has shown incredible physical, emotional and spiritual strength in his remarkable recovery, and published a book about his ordeal called Plan B – One Man's Journey from Tragedy to Triumph.

Following his accident, Mike became actively involved in spinal cord research and education, working with the Rick Hansen Man in Motion Foundation on International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries (I-CORD) and chairing the Spinal Cord Injury Quality of Life Advisory Group.

As a self-described "recovering politician," Mike was appointed Federal Commissioner on the British Columbia Treaty Commission in 2003. He has always been an avid supporter of aboriginal economic development, and his commitment to the treaty process is long-standing; as Premier in 1992, he signed the agreement establishing the Commission – the neutral body responsible for facilitating treaty negotiations among the governments of Canada, B.C. and First Nations in B.C.

In recognition of Mike's exceptional community contributions, Simon Fraser University presented Mike with the 2019 President's Distinguished Community Leadership Award.

This Final Cut Premiere presents the full, uncut conversation between Tom Dutta and Canadian Paralympian and world champion rower Victoria Nolan. This is the first time this conversation is being released as an audio podcast.

Victoria's journey began with a diagnosis of Retinitis Pigmentosa at 18. The slow loss of sight reshaped her personal and professional life and created moments of fear, doubt, and isolation. She was told she had no future as a teacher and that blindness would define her possibilities.

Instead, she discovered rowing, and everything changed. She rose from fear to world-class competition, breaking a world record, earning eight international medals, and becoming one of Canada's most inspiring voices on courage and belonging.

Victoria is now a national leader, speaker, and advocate. Her story blends lived experience, high-performance sport, and a deep commitment to helping others navigate change and adversity.

This uncut episode explores • the emotional landscape of losing sight • how adversity became a doorway to possibility • rowing as a place of healing and empowerment • motherhood and identity during vision loss • the culture of elite sport and vulnerable leadership • systemic barriers and invisible societal expectations • the global conversation on blindness and hope • the next chapter Victoria has yet to write

This Final Cut is exactly as the conversation occurred, raw, real, and technically mastered only for audio clarity.

This is the Final Cut Premiere of an extraordinary conversation with Dr. Amelia Kelley, one of today's most compelling voices in trauma recovery, emotional resilience, and the science of healing.

Originally streamed live, this version brings you the fully mastered audio of an hour-long dialogue that explores what it means to move through crisis, reclaim your sense of self, and find connection again.

Dr. Kelley is a licensed therapist, author, researcher, and teacher. Her work examines how the nervous system responds to overwhelming emotional events, how the body communicates what the mind suppresses, and how recovery unfolds in real time through compassion, safety, and presence.

In this conversation, we explore: • The deeper truths behind emotional pain and the body's signals • How lived experience shapes a person's capacity for resilience • The role of relationships in reconnecting with a sense of identity • The neuroscience behind healing and stability • Why her book has become a lifeline for so many

Her insights are powerful, compassionate, and grounded in both science and lived reality.

Step inside the legendary exchange floors of Chicago and New York through the eyes of author and former trader Brad Schaeffer. In this riveting conversation with Tom Dutta, Brad relives his journey from a young artist with a knack for numbers to a seasoned trader in one of the most cut-throat environments ever known.

His book Life in the Pits is both memoir and mirror, a tribute to an era when markets were moved by shouts and heartbeats, not algorithms. But it's also a reflection on life's real markets: risk, loss, redemption, and meaning.

Tom and Brad discuss how grief and discipline intertwine, how the instincts that drive us in competition can also teach compassion, and why stories of the past still inform how we lead today.

An essential listen for anyone drawn to finance, psychology, or the art of staying grounded when the world starts shouting.

🎧 AUDIO DEBUT What happens when a man who should have been decapitated becomes a bestselling author, InfoSec executive, and guide through hell?

W.B.J. Williams survived August 5, 1986, barely. Half a ton of plywood, a concrete floor, and a steel table saw that bent instead of beheading him. Today he lives with a hole in his spine and constant debilitating pain.

He's also the published author of five books, including the darkly comedic "Johnny Talon and the Goddess of Love and War," which weaves Sumerian mythology with addiction recovery.

This isn't a typical author interview. It's a journey through Plato's Garden—Tom Dutta's signature framework exploring how macro forces, industry trends, and personal trauma shape public works.

You'll hear:

• The harrowing details of Walt's 1986 accident and 40-year journey with chronic pain

• How he met his wife one month after the accident, while using a walker, and they've been together 33 years

• Why his father's battle with alcoholism shaped his novel about addiction and the Goddess of Love

• How his father became the first ordained deacon in his diocese after losing Walt's sister to SIDS

• The profound challenge of Jesus's teaching: "Love your enemies, not just your neighbours"

• Why Walt writes about broken prostitutes, addicts, and goddesses seeking redemption

• How he balances demanding InfoSec work (never experiencing ransomware or breach) with writing fantasy epics

• The journey from writing poetry at age 12 to becoming an Amazon Breakthrough Novel semi-finalist

• Why Hollywood producers are shopping "The Garden at the Roof of the World" for a three-season TV series

• His philosophy: "It's okay to be broken, that's not something to shy away from"

Walt's Five Books:

  • Johnny Talon and the Goddess of Love and War (2024)
  • The Reality, Mythology, and Fantasies of Unicorns (2021)
  • How to Create an Information Security Program from Scratch (2021)
  • The Garden at the Roof of the World (2013)
  • Security for Service Oriented Architectures (2014)

This conversation explores addiction, faith, resilience, authenticity, and the grace found in brokenness. From Catholic mysticism to Sumerian goddesses, from chronic pain to darkly comedic fiction, Walt proves our deepest wounds become our greatest gifts.

Trigger Warning: Frank discussions of addiction, suicidal ideation, chronic pain, and childhood trauma.

First-time audio release of this transformative conversation.

Revealing his new book Not Less Than Everything: One Man’s Quest for Spiritual Enlightenment, published by Clovercroft Published September 26, 2023), August Turak reveals his stories as a member of the original team that launched MTV: Music Television and a successful hi-tech entrepreneur, Turak had what most people consider to be "the life." But he was not happy. This is the inspirational true story of how Turak overcame crippling depression and despair through a daring quest for life’s ultimate meaning and purpose -- a search for transcendence.

Although his stories are wildly entertaining and often comical, Turak wishes to address the individual and collective absence of higher meaning and purpose afflicting Western civilization. He hopes this book acts, in some small way, as an antidote to that.

AUGUST TURAK is a successful corporate executive, entrepreneur, award-winning author, speaker, and consultant. He is the founder of the educational nonprofit the Self Knowledge Symposium Foundation. Turak has lived and worked alongside the Trappist monks of Mepkin Abbey as a frequent monastic guest since 1996.

As a troubled young college student in 1971, Turak was seized by the idea that the mystical experience that various religious traditions call Enlightenment, Satori, Nirvana, Samadhi, the Unio Mystica, or Cosmic Consciousness not only exists but might be attainable by him.

This sparked a life-altering quest, as Turak became the first student of a rough-hewn, hillbilly Zen master; the protégé of the founder of the IBM Executive School; the client of a mystical psychologist doing government-funded research with LSD; a member of the original team that launched MTV: Music Television; a successful hi-tech entrepreneur and even a longtime, part-time Trappist monk. This same spiritual roller coaster dropped him off twenty-five years later in a tiny room of a rundown motel in Baltimore, Maryland, deeply depressed, fearing for his sanity, and with nowhere to turn. Or, so it seemed.

After a corporate career with companies like MTV, Turak founded two highly successful software businesses. He has published many popular leadership articles for Forbes and featured in the Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, Selling Magazine, the New York Times, and BusinessWeek.

His book, Business Secrets of the Trappist Monks, uses 1000 years of Trappist business success and his own entrepreneurial experience to demonstrate that the monks are not successful businessmen despite adhering to only the highest ethical values, but because they do.

Turak's inspirational true story, Brother John: A Monk, a Pilgrim, and the Purpose of Life, combines his $100,000 Templeton Prize-winning story with original oil paintings from award-winning artist Glenn Harrington.

August Turak lives on a seventy-five-acre cattle farm outside Raleigh, NC. For more information, visit: www.AugustTurak.com.

Reino Gevers is a seasoned pilgrim who has walked twelve different Camino pilgrimage routes in northwestern Spain. His journey began after hitting a wall in his over 20-year journalism career, prompting a complete reinvention of himself. His first book, "Walking on Edge," is a fictional narrative drawn from his personal experiences on the Camino. His latest non-fiction work, "Deep Walking – for Body, Mind, and Soul," captures crucial lessons from the Camino, distilled from interviews and conversations with hundreds of fellow pilgrims and he now reveals his new book The Turning of the Circle.

Reino now dedicates much of his time to workshops, speaking tours, corporate health counseling, and mentoring leaders and achievers. Residing on the island of Majorca, he enjoys hiking, practicing martial arts, writing, and blogging in his free time. Reino believes it is our destiny as human beings to grow and become who we are truly meant to be. Life is not meant to be an easy ride. Trigger points such as divorce, the loss of a loved one, or financial ruin can elevate you to higher consciousness or leave you stagnating in melancholy. Our true calling often lies in the wounds of the past, sculpting us into the human beings we are destined to become. Reflecting on the past, it's clear how overcoming pain and obstacles equips us to fulfill our divine purpose.

As an author and mentor, Reino aims to provide the tools that have helped him navigate life's challenges. Many of his insights came from long, solitary walks on the Camino de Santiago. In retrospect, those moments were among the most precious. The role of a mentor, he believes, is to guide, hold to account, and listen. If you feel a deep desire to grow, learn, and achieve financial independence, health, and strength, Reino may be able to assist you. His mentoring program focuses on finding soul purpose, building resilience, and mind-setting.

Reino holds a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) from the University of South Africa and has been a trainer for leaders and achievers for the past ten years. He is the author of several books, including "Deep Walking for Body, Mind, and Soul," "Walking on Edge: A Pilgrimage to Santiago," and "Yield and Overcome: How Change Can Positively Impact Our Lives."

Having experienced hitting the wall and finding the reset button to change his life's trajectory, Reino left South Africa at 23 to start a new life in Europe. He did it again ten years ago, leaving a well-paid job to start his own business from scratch. The brink of job burnout led him to his first Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, which changed his life. He has since walked the Camino twelve times and incorporates an annual pilgrimage into his life.

Host Tom A. Dutta asked Michael Cowl Gordon to write why he should be on The Quiet Warrior Show. Micha poured onto his paper a page and a half of writing, and the latter was this:

"I believe that my story illustrates the heroic journey. Joseph Campbell wrote that the purpose of the heroic journey is to redeem the world. While that would be overstating my accomplishments, I believe it is true that I have helped thousands of patients through my direct involvement in their care. I have helped hundreds of people through mutual involvement in twelve-step recovery. And with this book, I can help thousands more. I believe my story will interest your listeners. I hope many will be encouraged to see how their lives can represent a heroic journey as they respond to whatever challenges they encounter."

I may have written too much, as my instructions were to write a paragraph. If so, I apologize. I hope to be a guest on your podcast, where I can tell the story of recovery as a heroic journey. Thank you. Michael Cowl Gordon, MD

Join Tom and Michael as he tells the rest of the story and takes your questions or comments via live chat.

When Host Tom Dutta asked Lisa Wilkes about her back story before the interview, she said, "During early adolescence, I developed an eating disorder. I'd been a perfectionist my whole life. Still, that quest for so-called flawlessness has a dark side, especially for women under intense societal pressure to portray a particular image. I knew I was damaging my body, but the addictive side of my brain did not care. Maybe that was subconsciously part of my goal.

I found healing through a deep connection to people and animals. It took me over a decade to get to a healthy weight, so I won't pretend this was an easy problem to fix. Therapy helped because it offered a nonjudgmental space where I could be honest instead of minimizing everything or pretending I was okay.

Friendships helped. I turned to friends and family, baring my soul even when that was scary as hell. The first time I confided in a close friend, my hands trembled, and sweat dripped. It was so embarrassing to have this psychological aversion to something as simple and necessary as food. I felt like a failure, but all I received from my buddy was love. She didn't see me as a freak. She viewed me as a brilliant human trying hard to get back on track. And that made me believe maybe, just maybe, I was not beyond hope.

Lisa Wilkes is an American author, licensed social worker (LMSW), flight attendant, and animal rescuer. Lisa has spent 13 years in the aviation industry, jetting across the globe and collecting inspiration for her writings. Her debut novel, Flight Path, is a fast-paced romance with serendipitous encounters. This book follows a daydreaming stewardess as she learns to navigate a new terrain: unconditional love.

In her second novel, Mid-Flight, Lisa transports readers to 2038. A flight attendant begins to unravel after her best friend is killed in a plane crash. In the throes of unspeakable grief, she uncovers a political ploy to decimate one-fifth of the population. She must risk everything to combat this sinister plan, including her breathtaking new romance.

Lisa’s writing is provocative and timely, focusing on societal issues and internal conflict. Flight Path’s readers will appreciate Mid-Flight's emphasis on hope and redemption, while newcomers to Lisa’s work will be drawn to the power of her storytelling.

Like many of you, I’m no stranger to hardship. As a child, I was forced to migrate with my family from the Dominican Republic to New York City, where we faced seemingly endless adversity. My parents were both professionals in the Dominican Republic. In New York, my father worked as a floor technician and my mom in a sweat shop. My father had an accident and became disabled for life. It was only my mom working and we couldn’t make ends meet. Some nights we didn’t have dinner; my late brother and myself had to go to work as children. This period of time has shaped my life. I am driven to be successful because I promised myself that my family will never experience this again. Between language barriers and culture shock, I found it difficult to find my footing in such a foreign place and yearned for well-intentioned guidance. I worked hard in school and did very well. I started a career in healthcare as an executive. I yearned to impact people’s lives in a positive manner everyday. I continued my education and obtain a Masters in Healthcare Administration and now a Doctorate in Leadership. I just published my first book focusing on Leadership Attributes CRAVE (Communication, Respect, Authenticity, Vulnerability and Empathy). After leading hundreds of teams, I found that these attributes are vital for creating great leaders and successful teams. I now coach, train, consult and speak on leadership and leadership development. I have a coaching program designated towards leaders that I provide to individuals and organizations.

techniques to unleash the power of their teams, optimize their 
leadership skills and drive performance to new heights. As a 
leadership/success coach and former professional basketball 
player, Dr. Clint knows the difference between bad and  
good coaches. A bad coach is self-focused, believes they are 
the only expert, and expects you to fall in line no matter what. A 
good coach unlocks hidden potential, nurtures natural abilities, 
and encourages people to fly. 

To that end, he has written Power Coaching, which many are 
calling a “must have” in their leadership toolbox. Dr. Clint Ladine 
is also the owner of Successfully Coaching, A leadership 
coaching business whose mission is to help leaders overcome 
obstacles to achieving success. 

Clint’s mission began with a life-changing encounter with 
coaching. While in the midst of his career, he was introduced to 
coaching, finding it to be transformative for him, his team and his organization. He quickly enrolled in a doctoral program to learn 
more about the psychology and methodology of coaching and

Leslee Montgomery is a sought-after facilitator, public speaker, content creator and consultant to the Construction Industry on Safety and Mental Health.   What makes her story different from anyone else's, and why is she working in a male-dominated industry?: 

When Host Tom Dutta asked Leslee why listeners should tune in to her story, she wrote, "In 2010, when I decided to take my life, I was terrified but so focused on finding a way. The 2008 recession had kicked my ass; mentally, I was down and scared. A call to a colleague looking for work resulted in "leaving it to the universe," setting off a decision in my head to take my life. 

While eating my last meal, the universe did call with a job offer. That moment became more than getting back to work; it became the moment I understood my purpose. There aren't too many living heroes in the construction industry. It became my mission positively affect the mental health of the people I worked with. I started to listen to people, connect with them, support them, and it grew into a mission to eradicate suicide in the construction industry."

Liv Arnold is an author of colour writing diverse books on real issues like mental health and consent. Like many women, she has experienced sexual harassment which has affected her well-being. “I want to do right by my readers and show what is and is not acceptable. Enough people are silenced through shame, society’s perceptions, and sexism. There’s not enough awareness of mental health. I have found peace through prose,” Ms. Arnold says. As she has experienced anxiety most of her life, she will donate a percentage of the profits of her upcoming novel Stepping Stone (release date 11 July 2022) to The Anxiety and Depression Association of America. She turned to writing for therapy when medication, meditation, and counselling didn’t improve her symptoms. The novel’s main male character has PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Ms. Arnold drew the challenges from real life and was inspired by a friend who served in Afghanistan. She writes authentic characters with relatable issues, championing the heroine taking control of her life and sexuality.

My hero's journey started when my mom was diagnosed with cancer and then passed away, two years later, when I was 28. I lost my sole provider parent. This was right around the same time that I found Airbnb (renting out my extra rooms) as a side hustle which was leading me into a life of financial independence, that I didn't realize at the time but it would change the trajectory of my life. Now, I feel very strongly about teaching others about how they can achieve financial independence so that we can become free to focus on the things we truly value in our lives, and not have to be in survival mode.

Chester L. Richards -- Bio

Aerospace Engineer (Ret.), Inventor, Adventurer, Author, Storyteller, Romantic

The philosophy developed by Chester L. Richards, aerospace engineer, adventurer, and inventor (19 patents), has indeed caused him to view all that comes his way as an adventure. Even a visit to the hospital! (Look for stories about these surprisingly entertaining forays into Deep Space Medical soon in his blog, "Stories.")

That attitude took shape early. In college, a bit after those early escapes from being thoroughly roasted by The Great Potato's molten lead flinging tricks, Chester and friend Judy Burns co-authored a spec script for “Star Trek” on a lark. The story, “The Tholian Web,” became one of the series’ most popular episodes. A veteran writer advised the young man, “You should write….write your passions.” “But I have nothing to say,” Chester thought. That was the moment he decided the real message was to fill his life with adventures. And he did — adventures in surfing, learning, and performing music, travel to exotic places for river rafting, and his work as a rocket scientist. Along the way, he’s always met fascinating characters. He did write — essays (over 50 have been published so far). At the house in Thousand Oaks he and his late beloved Sarah once shared, he brought himself back from the brink of despair by writing the hair-raising adventures Sarah loved, and that continue to occur, though as the author says, he no longer has much hair.

Scott MacDonald is a returning Quiet Warrior o talk about An Ancestral Journey he embarked on, culminating in a fascinating reveal... more than just facts, he shares how one can begin exploring their Ancestry based on his discovery.

His newest book is the culmination of many years of ancestry research. Published this month by Ingram, Legacy, An Ancestral Journey through American History marries ancestry with early American history. The ancestors participated in virtually every significant event in America, including Jamestown, the Mayflower, and various wars and conflicts. The book presents history through the eyes of actual participants in the events.

Ancestry research is believed to be the second most popular hobby in North America (after gardening). As far as Scott knows, no other ancestry-based book that connects ancestry research to history has been written or published. Visit Scott's website, authorscottmacdonald.com.

When Host Tom Dutta Challenged Maria Malik to share her whole story, she wrote this message to him:

At 17, I was at my lowest. I was taken away from my home (Toronto, Canada) and sent to Pakistan to Marry a man I had never met before. Against all odds, against all family pressures, against all pressure from Pakistani society, I got divorced after a few years.

That was only the beginning. I had to reinvent myself. At this point, I still did not graduate from high school. So I graduated from high school and university; I am now completing my masters.

I became the first woman in my family to travel the world. I became the first woman in my family to get a job. And I am now the first woman in my family to start my own business. I help people overcome their fear of Public Speaking and use their voice!

Many women in Pakistani and other cultures go through very similar situations, but unfortunately, many never get out. It's heartbreaking.

With courage and luck on my side, I could beat all odds and live a life of my choosing. My parents have now become my biggest supporters, an even bigger win for me because of my family. means everything to me.

When Sarajane Giere was asked by Tom Dutta why her story fits the hero's journey narrative, she wrote this:

"...it’s also my story and the journey of our 52 years of marriage. I’ve learned how my grief has turned to joy in the writing, how my pilot and I sacrificed for the sake of our marriage instead of each other, and lastly, how my gratitude grows and sustains me each day as I go forward."

Giere offers a uniquely intimate glimpse into the life of a military wife as she tells the story of her fighter pilot husband, Bernie, a Vietnam Veteran who flew 214 combat missions in the war. With soaring love and explicit honesty, she recounts the terror of the Vietnam years and the lifelong sacrifices that affected her pilot’s life and death.

Giere, a spunky military wife with a keen knack for storytelling, recounts her fighter pilot’s eventful Vietnam years through his handwritten letters and moving personal accounts. The harrowing shoot-down in enemy territory, the joy upon learning he had a son, and the loneliness of separation are among the many subjects covered. All the while, Sarajane worked with a local police detective to uncover evidence that brought one of her neighbors to justice. With a knack for detail, she recounts the uncertain years with Pan Am and her husband Bernie’s missions with the NY Air National Guard’s world-class 106th Rescue and Recovery Wing for 25 years.

The love that brought this intrepid couple together during their college years can be felt through the words on every page. Their bond remained strong for 52 years, helping them grasp the courage they needed upon learning of Bernie’s ALS diagnosis later in life. In telling their story, she honors her family, which includes the military community and the nation that she holds dear to her heart.

Author Giere's latest book, My Pilot A Story of War, Love and ALS, wraps the entire interview into a spectacular finish.

My Pilothas won three literary awards: The Independent Press Award, The Military Writers Society of America’s Silver Medal Award, and the NYC Big Book Award.

When I asked Michael Anthony to tell me why he fit the narrative of my show he sent me this message and it shifted my thinking as an adult who himself navigated through childhood traumas.  The interview tells all.

Michael wrote:

I was born to a hyper-abusive drug addict mother who cut my finger off at 4 years old, a step-father you pray you never have, and a racist grandmother that pushed me into an identity crisis.

By the time I was 9, my family was in poverty and often homeless all while being a member of the Mormon Church. At twelve, I was adopted by my grandmother and quickly turned to drugs and alcohol to survive the continuing abuse. Despite multiple learning disabilities and not graduating high school on time, I found success in Corporate America in my early twenties.

However, success only made things worse. I found myself morbidly obese, high and drunk daily, and ultimately self-sabotaging everything around me. It was not until I hit rock bottom and found my inner power through my Mirror Moment and choosing to do whatever it took to work through childhood trauma that my life really began.

I started Think Unbroken three years ago with the mission to end generational trauma and to inspire people everywhere to become the heroes of their own story.

Michael is an entrepreneur, coach, podcast host, award-winning speaker, best-selling author, and advocate for adult survivors of childhood trauma.

Host Tom Dutta became emotional when Dave mentored him live about Toms brain injury.  The two shared stories of life, dreams, near death concussions, and finding true childlike joy when you can't see the future.  

Dave Scatchard has always been the underdog, but his drive to overcome obstacles meant none of that mattered. That’s how his childhood dream of becoming an NHL hockey player came true at twenty-one, followed by marrying the love of his life and starting a beautiful family. For everything that came his way, he always knew he could work hard, fight through the pain, and prove himself. 

Everything, that is, until a fifth concussion gave him a taste of death and changed the way he looked at life forever. 

It took losing it all—his career, his abilities, and very nearly his life—to finally find it all. Dave’s journey through the best and worst of his career to the highs and lows of spiritual and physical healing point to a universal journey we all must take. Just like Dave’s life, The Comeback is about far more than hockey. It’s about how we come back to ourselves to find true freedom, weightless abandon, and a pure childlike joy.

PRESS RELEASE, July 1, 2021

‘GIFTED WITH DYSLEXIA’ PINS – introducing a Universal Symbol for Dyslexia!!!

Did you know there was no universal symbol for dyslexia ? Well, there is now, because we (The Whole Dyslexic Society) created one, a beautiful, positive one.

WHY: When we see a pink ribbon – we see a proud breast cancer survivor, when we see a heart, we automatically know it represents love. Well now it’s time for us to see a person who is proud to be dyslexic. Does that seem strange? Well, the truth is we are not learning disabled, and many of us feel proud to have a natural ability which has a huge upside in the 3D world, and a downside in the 2D world of print ONLY because we are not taught in the way that we learn.

WHAT FOR: Over 400 Davis Facilitators worldwide have the privilege of providing programs derived from The Gift of Dyslexia by Ronald D Davis. Despite their 98% success rate, they remain in the private sector and so financial assistance is required by some.

This broadcast was livestreamed recently. This is the debut of Scott A. Shay's interview on the heels of the release of his 3rd book CONSPIRACY U. This is a story of outrage that Author Shay, a member of the Jewish Community had to tell.

On the heels of his last book where he talked about the pain of losing family members in the Holocaust he steps through the wall yet again... Exposing the truth about politically motivated conspiracy theories masquerading as Scholarship in a high level Education Institution which was also his Alma Mater.

Get the book at www.scottshay.com

ABOUT SCOTT SHAY: Scott A. Shay is a leading businessman, thought leader, and author of several widely read books on profound issues facing the Jewish community. Scott is the co-founder and Chairman of Signature Bank, well known as one of the best banks in New York for private business owners. Scott earned a BA in Economics and a Masters in Management from Northwestern University, a valuable experience due to the commitment of his professors to high academic standards and the ideals of the university’s motto. His third book, Conspiracy U: A Case Study, utilizes this motto as a backdrop to illustrate how his alma mater and academia in general have departed from these standards and ideals, sacrificing academic integrity and trustworthy scholarship in favor of Conspiracy Theories. Scott is a distinguished leader in the Jewish community and an avid student of religion and its application to the world outside of the synagogue, church, or mosque. These interests are reflected in Conspiracy U, as well as his previous two books, In Good Faith: Questioning Religion and Atheism and Getting Our Groove Back: How to Energize American Jewry. Scott lives in New York City, NY.

Kelsey Carignan is a mother to two boys and was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 2018 at the age of 32 years old.

Kelsey decided to make breast cancer the best thing that ever happened to her and started sharing her breast cancer journey online when she realized there was a lack of relatable and real content available for people going through the same thing.

She also started asking people to complete random acts of kindness and to tag her so she could see how much good could come from a negative situation which helped to get her through her lowest points.

After undergoing a bilateral mastectomy and eight aggressive rounds of chemotherapy, Kelsey is now in remission and is using her voice and her knowledge to empower and uplift others going through similar experiences with her platform Vibrant Yogi.

At age 16 she survived while members of her family were murdered by her father who also took his life.  

Why Nina does what she does 🌿

At 16 I faced an unexpected tragedy. I struggled with PTSD & survivors guilt. I saw a number of child psychologists and psychiatrists, but what kept me grounded - and still does ‘til this day - is my study of ancient wisdom and practice of mindfulness and meditation. I don’t know who or where I would be without it. And this is why I’m so passionate about sharing it with the world. We don’t have to be defined by our adversity. There is a way to attain true mental freedom.

I’ve been a choir boy and a lawyer, a construction labourer and house designer, a recidivist husband and a single time father. But it was another state in life that brought me notoriety – and wealth – a prisoner. At 17 in 1969, I was arrested for selling hash and LSD to cops dressed up like hippies. And forty years later, I was arrested again for co-founding and operating a business that, the year I was arrested, was tracking to transfer over $14billion dollars, mostly American, between online gamblers and internet bookies and casinos.

For the first notorious experience, I was immersed in a world-changing culture, on the cusp between respecting all authority, all elders on the one hand, and only respecting who we thought deserved it on the other, between taking things for granted and finding out for oneself. We had sock hopped to the Beach Boys and wound up raging around the fire to “Ooh a storm is threatening my very life today” showing our elders they had a new batch of young to respect.

For the second, I was sinking dishearteningly in meaningless legal files, struggling to get to some peaceful shore and to get back to net-worth zero, when the material pearly gates busted wide open for me. When we went public, I owned about a quarter of a company whose market capital went up to $2 billion. I was buying private jets and Malibu Beach houses without having to check my balance. I would get up in the morning, decide to fly to Ireland in my jet to see my daughter, and was flying through the aurora borealis over Iceland by nightfall.

I was introduced to David Suzuki and the rapidly mounting climate emergency by my friend Jim Hoggan, and to His Holiness the Dalai Lama by my friend Victor Chan.

Jim and I co-founded the DeSmog group of blogs, “Cleaning up the PR pollution that clouds climate science.” I remain a committee member of the David Suzuki Foundation and a founding director of the David Suzuki Institute.

I was founding funder of the Dalai Lama centre for Peace And Education in Vancouver. And I decided to devote the remainder of my time here on Earth to encouraging environmental awareness, consciousness generally, and to the appreciation of the boundless miracle that has befallen all of us humans but, that toward which, so few of us barely even glance while immersed in our “world” of acquisition for the main purpose of self-indulgent leisure.

My name is Justin Brien and I am a Mental Health Advocate, Inspirational Speaker and Professional Coach.

However to be able to put those titles in front of my name I had a 16 year long battle with addiction and a lifelong battle with my own Mental health and self worth.

I almost lost everything including my family. I lost jobs, friendships, my son and gf and I nearly lost my life.

For 6 years I was suicidal and I started to make a plan to end it all and donate my body to someone more deserving.

I was fortunate enough to find my WHY, get the help that I needed and turn it around to become the man I am today.

Back together with my family 3 years later, I have over 2 years of sobriety underneath my belt along with coaching and speaking certifications.

I believe in the power of sharing your story and lending an ear can go a long way.

Alone we fight, together we battle.

Sue’s professional training began experientially at school, but it was her son’s learning challenges that led her to become a Davis Dyslexia Correction ® Facilitator. For the past 22 years she has had the privilege of working with dyslexic children and adults, sharing their ‘aha’ moments and watching them overcome their challenges. She has come to the conclusion that everyone is learning-able, some children just don’t learn the way they are taught.

She founded The Whole Dyslexic Society in 2001 with four objectives: to improve the understanding around dyslexia; to fundraise, ensuring the programs are available to all; to create and maintain a community of dyslexics; and ensure that all children entering school have a cognitive equal opportunity.

In her book Fish Don’t Climb Trees, she shares her story, her son’s story and those of her clients, the current challenges in the education system and suggestions to overcome them. She is the co-host of a podcast series, has given numerous information sessions, Professional Development Day sessions presentations, contributed to conferences and webinars. She has appeared on Global TV, taken part in the CKNW Telethon, been interviewed on radio, and featured in the Vancouver Sun and the Globe and Mail.

Originally from Coventry, England, I grew up in the midst of an economic downfall, and decided to make my way to Vancouver at age 17 where I started a career in hairdressing. At 21 I opened my own hair salon, Hair Mode, but quickly realized that I was struggling with anxiety and a panic disorder. My business opened a week later than intended, which established in me a real fear of failure. I had my first panic attack which led to high and ongoing anxiety. I found out later that the trigger point for all of this was the perception of failure, a long-standing feeling stemming from my childhood.

Depression became something I had to deal with, and when I had to take daily medication to cope with it, I found myself questioning if this is what my life was going to be like. From there I took many steps to help find solutions and now dedicate myself to helping others as I advocate for the importance of physical activity to support mental health. Along the journey, I took a full year and spent 365 days of consecutive riding to raise awareness and support for mental health through my website ride365.ca and my other social media platforms. This also sparked a new creative outlet into my life, as I developed a love and skill for photography. I captured images taken on my early morning rides, which I combined with my own philosophy to help support people living and struggling with mental health. I don’t consider mental health issues to be negative, but rather an outlet and starting point for a series of emotions and feelings and a way of sharing them. The more we talk, the better we can feel.

However, throughout the last three years, he has learned how important it is for everyone, regardless of race or gender, to be aware of the issue. Ravi led the BOLT team in federally incorporating BOLT Safety Society in July 2020, and has worked on various other projects such as the 'Safe Hubs' initiative, as well as training new team members.

Brittany Bexton grew up along the northern California coast, with Aretha Franklin, Motown, and rock & roll as part of the soundtrack to her childhood. She didn’t grow up in a musical family, but she’s lived her life as a musical soul. Brittany would tell you that music isn’t just what she does, it’s part of who she is. At two, she climbed on stage at a campout and sang for the campers. Her mother says that she should have known then what Brittany would spend her life doing.

Brittany started writing music before she was a teen, weaving stories into songs. She sang in church choirs, soaked up every music class she could in school, and received private voice tutoring with four master teachers. Brittany was involved with professional theater for years before moving to Nashville in 2011 to become a full time touring and recording artist.

Her training is evident in her powerful, smooth and consistent vocals. However, what makes Brittany’s performances compelling isn’t her technique, but the passion and life she brings to the stage. Her intuitive heart for music and the way she connects to the story and passion of a song is captivating.

Brittany believes that music and writing have a greater purpose to bring joy, laughter, connection and hope.

In 2009, Miha Matlievski had his four companies go bankrupt overnight: landing him $5 million in debt. 

Contemplating suicide to escape the pain as he looked over the balcony, he had a life-saving AH-HA moment. He realized that failure was a normal part of life.

When he admitted to himself that he failed, and recognized he needed to stop blaming others and blaming circumstances, that was the turning point. It was then that he made a choice to learn from his failures.

Once he changed his focus, he realized he could do things differently in the future to help others. 

Since then, he has fully recovered and was able to create a business that he scaled to 8 figures in less than a year. His life’s mission is to help people develop a healthy relationship with failure. 

Especially entrepreneurs.

August Turak is a successful entrepreneur, corporate executive, media contributor, and award winning author who attributes much of his success to living and working alongside the Trappist monks of Mepkin Abbey since 1996.

Turak’s first book, Business Secrets of the Trappist Monks: One CEO’s Quest for Meaning and Authenticity, was published by Columbia Business School Publishing in 2013. The book chronicles Turak’s 20-year odyssey as a frequent monastic guest at the Trappist monastery of Mepkin Abbey; the monks he came to know and love; the rugged lifestyle of prayer and work he share with them, and the amazing secret to 1000 years of Trappist business success: a secret that Turak calls service and selflessness.

In parallel, the book describes how Turak and his partners used these Trappist business techniques to build and eventually sell two highly successful software businesses using only $2000 in seed capital and an unwavering commitment to the Trappist business model.

Finally, Business Secrets of the Trappist Monks demonstrates that the new economic model that Pope Francis seems to be seeking – in light of his frequent critiques of capitalism – already exists within the Judeao-Christian Tradition. Trappist monks have been successfully running businesses for 1000 years. The Trappist model doesn’t reject capitalism. Instead it transcends the flaws and limitations of capitalism. The Trappists are not wildly successful in business despite their commitment to only the highest moral and ethical principles; they are successful because they are.

What every good Trappist knows is that the more we forget our selfish motivations the more successful we become. By chronicling how he was able to build two highly successful companies in a secular marketplace using this model, Business Secrets of the Trappist Monks emphatically demonstrates that the Trappist model is not all “motherhood and fluff,” nor is it only suitable for cloistered monks.

For example, in 2017, Avera Health, a large, Catholic, Midwest hospital chain bought 1500 copies ofBusiness Secrets of the Trappist Monks. They worked exclusively with Turak’s nonprofit SKSF to build a Resource Guide and Videos using the book and subsequently created a companywide, year-long program in organizational meaning and purpose and reported outstanding results.

August Turak grew up in the cable TV business. He was a founding employee of both MTV: Music Television, and what is now the A&E Network in the 1980s. He is still in touch with Tom Freston, the former CEO of Viacom, and received a blurb for the back of his business book. Later, Turak moved to North Carolina and started the software companies that were eventually sold to BMC Software for 150 million dollars.

Though his head did well in business, Turak’s religious heart was always spiritually searching for a higher meaning and purpose to life. In 1996 all these issues came to head when a freakish sky diving accident triggered a severe “Dark Night of the Soul.” Looking for solace from deep depression, Turak turned to the monks of Mepkin Abbey: A Trappist monastery just outside Charleston, SC. He has been a frequent monastic guest ever since. Turak often spends weeks and even months at a time getting up at 3:00 AM to live, pray, and work alongside the monks. It was by living so closely with the monks that Turak was able to experience the monastic stories and lessons that he used to write Business Secrets of the Trappist Monks.

In 2004, almost on a whim, August Turak entered the John Templeton Foundation’s Power of Purposeessay contest. Although he had never written anything for publication before, his essay, Brother John, bested thousands of other entries and won the $100,000 grand prize. Brother John is the story of how a magical encounter with a Trappist monk finally taught Turak the purpose of life and the secret to happiness. Brother John was later reprinted in the anthologies The Best Christian Writing and The Best Catholic Writing.

The Templeton Prize dramatically changed Turak’s life. Brother John was published in two anthologies, The Best Christian Writing and The Best Catholic Writing, and this, in turn, launched him on a second career. Turak became a leadership contributor for Forbes.com, an on-air radio contributor for the BBC, and Columbia Business School published his book, Business Secrets of the Trappist Monks. But the common fourteen-year-old thread that runs through all this subsequent work is the spirit of service and selflessness: a monastic thread that leads right back to a spool called Brother John.

But, despite Turak’s intense gratitude, over the years, Brother John gradually became a Zen koan for him: a frustrating stone in his shoe that led directly to this book… Brother John was written in 2004, and it is increasingly hard to find, yet we still receive a small, but steady, stream of correspondence from people who have stumbled upon the essay. Almost without exception, they write about howBrother John helped them through the death of a child, an episode of severe depression, or a particularly painful divorce.

Being periodically reminded of the healing power of Brother John has been a double-edged blessing. Turak is, of course, profoundly moved and humbled by these letters. They always take him back to 1996: the year when the events you are about to read about actually took place. It was not an innocent religious “retreat” that initially sent August Turak to Mepkin Abbey and Brother John. A freakish sky-diving accident had triggered a personal crisis, or “Dark Night of the Soul.” Turak arrived at Mepkin Abbey hip deep in a desperate battle against depression, panic, and incipient despair. As a result, it has been especially gratifying for Turak to discover that his essay seems to convey a bit of that same healing power that he received from Brother John and the monks of Mepkin: a healing power that saved his life.

Yet there is also a downside to this blessing. Why? Because these letters always left Turak wondering how much more good Brother John could accomplish if it were more widely available. He seemed to be the proud owner of a marvelous candle snugly nestled under the proverbial bushel basket.

All this came to a head when a business executive drove 400 miles to thank August for writing Brother John. For several years, Turak had been toying with the idea of turning Brother John into an illustrated book. A busy executive willing to drive 400 miles proved decisive: something bigger was insisting that Turak act on his idea. Through grace or luck, he found an amazing artist, collaborator, and friend in Glenn Harrington.
Glenn is an award-winning artist who has done illustrations and cover art for all the major publishers. He was also commissioned to paint many of the portraits that now grace the World Golf Hall of Fame. Glenn took immediately to the essay and to the project. On his own initiative, he travelled to Mepkin Abbey to meet Brother John and to immerse himself in the Trappist way of life. Glenn is a deeply religious man, and his art not only captures the spirit of Brother John but also conveys the serenity and mystical power that make Mepkin Abbey a spiritual nexus, a place where heaven and earth meet.

At the John Templeton Foundation’s Power of Purpose awards ceremony in New York City, Turak was asked what he intended to do with the $100,000 grand prize. He replied that he intended to give it to charity. After donating to Mepkin Abbey and several other favorite charities, Turak used the remainder to fund the Self Knowledge Symposium Foundation (SKSF). The SKSF is a not-for-profit corporation we created. Our mission is to bring Brother John’s transformative message of meaning and purpose to a Western culture increasingly bereft of meaning and purpose.

Over the intervening years, Turak continues to fund the SKSF, and any remuneration he receives from his writing, speaking engagements, consulting, or personal coaching, is donated back to the SKSF to underwrite our ongoing efforts.

In our latest effort to make a difference, we are turning August Turak’s Templeton Prize winning essay into an illustrated book: Brother John: A Monk, a Pilgrim, and the Purpose of Life. It will be released on October 21st. It is available now for pre-release orders on Amazon. The book will contain 22 original oil paintings of Mepkin Abbey by the award-winning artist, Glenn Harrington.

The rights to Turak’s essay, and therefore to this book, have been transferred to the SKSF. All royalties will be reinvested into future efforts like this one. At the most critical moment of Turak’s life, Brother John offered to share his umbrella. Turak’s life is now dedicated to sharing, to the best of his ability, this magical umbrella with you and all our fellow men.

A step-by-step guide to overcoming childhood abuse—while making sure those responsible don’t get away with it.

Child abuse is a horrific crime against the innocent. Its consequences are far-ranging and long-lasting. It can be difficult to get past. And one of the hardest things to do is forgive the offenders.

Every spiritual teacher agrees that forgiveness isn’t just beneficial, it’s essential. But few explain exactly how to go about it. Reverend Wild does. She is a survivor of childhood abuse herself, and she understands the realities of this kind of trauma first-hand.

You may have done a lot of soul-searching and years of therapy, or spent hours in prayer, yet you’re still haunted by the echoes of abuse. Or you may just be starting to face what happened. No matter what stage you are at, The Art of Forgiveness will help you make peace with the past and take ownership of your own happiness.

It took three family tragedies for Jade to awaken from decades of darkness and self-sabotage. The agony of losing her last living sister to suicide the summer of 2015 left only enough energy to deal with her grief. She knew then she must face the pain of her past or risk losing herself for good.

By listening intently to her inner voice, Jade began healing from the inside out and finally living in an authentic way. On her quest for self-love and acceptance, she discovered life coaching and began investing in her own well-being and success. For the very first time in her life, she embraced her entire story and started sharing it with others.

​In 2016, she joined the Walworth County Suicide Prevention Education and Awareness Coalition and, in 2017 and 2018, also co-chaired the Walworth County Out of the Darkness Community Walk for suicide awareness and prevention. Jade volunteers for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's Healing Conversations Program (formerly known as the Survivor Outreach Program), which offers personal support to survivors of suicide loss.

Her website, No Parameters, was initially a blog: a place to keep, honor, and share her grief poetry and stories. But, by the fall of 2017, she knew it needed to be more. Jade wanted to give other survivors permission to live wholeheartedly too, so they could embrace their stories and come back to life again. It was then the coaching services were added.

Her passions are postvention* and teaching others how to create and sustain genuine and meaningful connections. In short, She helps women rebuild after traumatic loss.

In September of 2018, her first book, Wake Me from the NIGHTMARE: Hope, Healing, and Empowerment After Suicide Loss, was released on Amazon, and it quickly became a number one bestseller. Shortly thereafter, it was picked up by Morgan James Publishing in New York. The paperback was released to bookstores on November 12th, 2019!

Jade is hoping change the way we approach suicide grief and those grieving, and help to reduce the stigma still surrounding mental health conditions and suicide.

Her work has been featured in several online publications including Elephant Journal, The Good Men Project, and The Urban Howl.

​She hopes these stories offer strength and hope to other trauma and loss survivors, so they can learn to trust themselves and the world again.

​Her life has been devoted to helping herself, her kids, and others overcome fear, limitations, and heartache.

​She is the Mid-Western version of the girl next door.

*Postvention is a term often used in the suicide prevention field. Postvention refers to activities which reduce the risk of suicide and promote healing after a suicide death.

THALIA OTAMENDI started playing competitive sports since  moving to Canada at age 10, and sports quickly became a pillar in her life. Her sport involvement and life came to a standstill in 2013 when she sustained her 4th concussion playing soccer.

The strategy she had succeeded with during her previous concussions was simply pushing through symptoms until she felt better, but this time she started feeling worse and worse. She had just started her career and had received two promotions in two years working for Sleep Country Canada.  She was enjoying life as a young professional, and was still playing sports - so it was extremely difficult for her to accept that she needed a break from everything.

Due to a variety of reasons (unhelpful medical advice, pressure from work to return, and the anxiety that she developed), it took her more than 2 years to feel like herself again. During those 2 years she had really started to doubt whether she would be able to return to her old self again. The stressful and confusing experience motivated her to quit her job and return to school to study concussion rehabilitation.

She is just finishing her MA with a focus on the psychosocial aspects of concussion recovery. That is, how individuals’ thoughts, emotions and environment shape and influence recovery. She recently completed a project that explored how Canadian newsprint media portrays concussions and their connection to CTE. The's currently involved in a couple of knowledge translation projects that analyze the implementation/de-implementation of the latest concussion recommendations with general practitioners.

Not long after Bourdain died I was hiking in nature and pulled out my cell phone, hit record and this stuff came out of me leading to this radio show.  But it all started a long time ago for me...

I grew up in the kitchen cooking as a kid and later in life discovered cooking was my love language, my absolute passion!  I've seen hundreds of cooking shows on TV, attended Culinary Institute cooking classes with world class Chefs at my side...

It wasn't Anthony Bourdain's untimely passing that made him memorable for me.  If I look back in my business career there are a few leaders who stand out for me... 

Those who touch our SOULS, who make an impact on us personally are the ones we will always remember.  

I hope you enjoy this episode!

Her Philosophy in her words:

I believe that everyone should have access to equal opportunities. I want to see talented professionals succeed in their career, and I want to see organizations be more diverse and inclusive so that everyone’s talents are utilized and valued. Unfortunately, too many knowledgeable and capable individuals fall short of their career goals, and too many organizations leave untapped talent on the table. The world is becoming more diverse every day, and I believe that we can do better.

Building cultures that are more inclusive and gender balanced takes awareness, dialogue and ongoing action—and there are many individual and organizational strategies that can move us forward.

In 2014, I launched my speaking and consulting business, and shortly after started writing and teaching for business schools. I’m passionate about helping others take control of their professional lives, helping businesses be more effective, and making an impact on the world. This is what drove me to research, speak, teach, and write on the broad topics of leadership, emotional intelligence and gender—and it’s why I wrote The Power of Perception.

I invite you to join me on the journey.

Think of the organizations with which you’ve been a part - were they filled with mostly good people - but the results just didn’t match the organization’s potential?

That sums up the results from my first medical center crew: I was failing as a leader. My crew was uninspired, not making progress, didn’t work together - I could go on - it was NOT pretty!

I searched for a solution - I tried books, courses, & workshops - they all told me WHAT a good leader should be. Most of them provided lists of things that sounded great! But…as I tried to put their lessons to use, I became even MORE frustrated!

Until I had a crazy thought (inspired by my time as an Air Force flyer), “Could there be something similar in getting an aircraft or organization “off the ground” & to its desired destination?”

That crazy thought became an epiphany that resulted in the tools we use to help good people become great leaders by showing them not just what but HOW!

Let’s go back to those organizations with which you’ve been a part. What could they have accomplished if…every leader…had been: Competent, Compassionate, & Collaborated to achieve the desired vision?
Is it possible: Productivity would have greatly improved, Turnover would have been reduced & the entire crew would have looked forward to Monday!

Now, imagine what your life would be like, how would you feel, when this describes the results in YOUR organization…Pretty great, right?

As the Executive’s Ally, I have a system - built, tested, & refined in the “trenches” of the greatest leadership laboratory - that helps leaders of leaders achieve awesome results by turning: Goals, Dreams, Big Visions and Big Purpose into Reality.

Are you one of these leaders? Are you committed to TRUE excellence? Do you want to UNLEASH the potential in your entire team? If so, don’t do it alone. Find a coach who can help you get where you want to go. Be overjoyed when you find your organization filled with an entire team of Competent, Compassionate, and Collaborative leaders!

Ken is a retired United States Air Force Lt Colonel and has extensive experience in leadership and management. He worked for decades in the business environment, healthcare sector, and spent many years in the military as a flyer and Squadron Commander. Ken has worked with the United States Military, the American College of Healthcare Executives, Johnson & Johnson, colleges/universities, and many others.

Dr. Shawn Andrews is a keynote speaker and organizational consultant.

With over two decades of corporate experience in the biopharmaceutical industry, she has a strong history of leading, educating and inspiring others. She is an accredited practitioner for EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360 Model, Insights Discovery Colors, and Blanchard’s Situational Leadership.

Extensive work experience, coupled with dissertation research, has given her a research-based, expert level of knowledge in Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, Gender, and Unconscious Bias, and she is the author of the best-selling book, The Power of Perception: Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, and the Gender Divide (2018 Morgan James Publishing).

She serves as adjunct professor at Pepperdine Graziadio Business School, where she teaches courses on Organizational Behavior, Women in Leadership, Diversity in Organizations, and Leadership and Ethics. Her specific areas of focus include Organizational Leadership, Learning & Development, Talent Management, and Diversity & Inclusion.

Shawn is a frequent contributor to the publications of the Association for Talent Development, Life Sciences Trainers & Educators Network, and Training Industry. She was the 2017 Diversity & Inclusion columnist for Training Industry Magazine, and in 2015, she received the Training Industry Magazine Editor’s and Readership Award for her writing.

Shawn earned her Ed.D. degree in Organizational Leadership from Pepperdine University, an M.B.A. degree from Pepperdine University, and a B.A. degree in Psychology from University of California, Irvine. She has authored multiple published articles and blogs, leads webinars and workshops, and serves on advisory and editorial Boards of Directors. She is founder and CEO of Andrews Research International.

Her Philosophy in her words:

I believe that everyone should have access to equal opportunities. I want to see talented professionals succeed in their career, and I want to see organizations be more diverse and inclusive so that everyone’s talents are utilized and valued. Unfortunately, too many knowledgeable and capable individuals fall short of their career goals, and too many organizations leave untapped talent on the table. The world is becoming more diverse every day, and I believe that we can do better.

Building cultures that are more inclusive and gender balanced takes awareness, dialogue and ongoing action—and there are many individual and organizational strategies that can move us forward.

In 2014, I launched my speaking and consulting business, and shortly after started writing and teaching for business schools. I’m passionate about helping others take control of their professional lives, helping businesses be more effective, and making an impact on the world. This is what drove me to research, speak, teach, and write on the broad topics of leadership, emotional intelligence and gender—and it’s why I wrote The Power of Perception.

I invite you to join me on the journey.

http://gatewaytohope.menningphotographicfilms.com

OUR MISSION

“Gateway to Hope: Overcoming Heroin” is a documentary to educate viewers on the use of heroin in the East Liverpool, Ohio area as well as other parts of the country and how it has affected the individuals, their families, and the communities.

It is our goal with this documentary to provide people with real Hope to break the addiction to heroin.

THE TEAM

Josh Menning – Independent filmmaker from Columbiana, Ohio. He has filmed a short film (Gretchen’s Lock) and a feature film (UNWAVERING) as well as other business videos and projects.

Josh Lytle – Co-president of Family Care Ministries, a Christian training center that teaches people to overcome all life controlling problems. Josh has overcome addiction and uses his knowledge gained from Appalachian Teen Challenge and his former addiction as tools to reach out to those who are struggling.

John Smith – East Liverpool Language Arts teacher and published author who shares a strong connection to the East Liverpool, Ohio area.

PURPOSE

With commentary from former addicts, East Liverpool public officials, paramedics, pharmacists, and rehabilitation officials, Gateway to Hope will provide insight on those struggling with addiction and provide real Hope to break the addiction way beyond the scope of rehabilitation. This documentary will reveal how lives are being transformed and renewed every day.

THE IMPACT

This documentary will have the power to reach far beyond East Liverpool, Ohio into the areas across the world dealing with heroin addiction and the destruction of their communities.

It will provide real Hope for anyone struggling with addiction in that they can be restored and start anew.

Ultimately this documentary will aid in reconnecting broken communities, families, and individuals.

RISKS & CHALLENGES

Unfortunately, heroin addiction has affected most of the world and our communities. Without action all of our lives will be eroded financially, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Stand with us to help end this growing epidemic. Help us to do His work and see how God can restore lives.

Val Brown is a communication and organization development specialist who just happened to spend her career behind the camera as a writer, producer and director.  www.visualbridgecommunication.com

She is an Emmy Award winning producer and uses her unique skills to help business professional and entrepreneurs identify and over come the hidden reasons they are afraid to be in front of the camera. Val helps you learn get camera ready to multiply your business results through video.

Val has found over the years in coaching everyone from executives and elected officials to entrepreneurs building a business, there are similar self limiting beliefs that hold people back from being on camera.

“Most people I’ve coached  are uncomfortable on camera because of the stories they carry around inside their heads about themselves whether it’s how they look or how they sound. Once they discover what those hidden obstacles are, it frees them to show up authentically and credibly on camera.”

To help them overcome their on camera challenges, she developed a 3 part framework that starts with purpose, followed by a planning process to support a powerful on camera presence that’s brand aligned with message and purpose. Val is all about teaching people how to use video to communicate with a wider audience in business and in life.

Val grew up in a semi-rural part of Southern California, riding horses and raising animals as a member of 4-H.  Those experiences were significant to shaping her values and who she is today.

When she first started her career in television, there were not a lot of opportunities for women in production. She found her career path after a stint in front of the camera as a producer, writer and director.

She managed a couple of television stations in Southern California where she produced news, public affairs and all kinds of programming including sports and arts and culture and as the stations grew, it opened more opportunities for women, especially in news.

Val also worked in the public sector in communication where she saw the value of the mix of her communication and  organization development skills make an impact on the community through the stories she captured and shared.

Val also owns her own communication company and coaches and consults with high performing business professionals and entrepreneurs to help them look, feel and sound their best in front of the camera.

Lori Leachman is a professor of economics at Duke University. She has been teaching economics at the university level for over thirty-five years. She earned her Ph.D. in economics in 1987, from the University of South Carolina. Before turning to literature, Dr. Leachman wrote for and published in a variety of academic journals. She has been in Who's Who of America's Teachers, won the 1995 Student Award for Teaching Excellence at Northern Arizona University's College of Business, and won the Howard D. Johnson Distinguished Teaching Award in 2002/3 at Duke University. In 1994 she was a summer fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in Behavioral Sciences in Palo Alto, California.

Dr. Leachman never had an aspiration to write creatively. However, in 2012 when her father died, she knew she had a story that deserved to be told. She shared that story with a number of writer friends, trying to pique their interest. They all told her that it was her story, and she needed to be the one to write it. Over the course of the next few years, Ms. Leachman let the story gestate. In 2015, while on vacation in France, she began writing vignettes. Within a few months she had the outline of the story. Over the next two years the story presented here emerged.

At the age of fifty, Dr. Leachman realized that her life was passing and there were a number of things outside of academics that she wanted to pursue. She took a semester off, and enrolled in a painting course at a local university. That course started her on her second path of professional development, as an artist. Since that time she has exhibited and sold her work in a number of galleries and public venues in the Durham area.

Lori Leachman lives and teaches in Durham, N.C. for half of the year. The other half of the year she lives in Sedona, Az. where she writes and paints, and is close to her two grown sons on the West Coast.

Angus Reid is somebody who found a way to make his dream a reality. Angus has just recently retired from professional football after playing 13 years for the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League. The Richmond Born native played in 200 professional games placing him in the top 5 all time for games played by a BC Lion. Throughout his career, Angus has been a 3-time all-star, 2-time Grey Cup Champion and 5-time team captain.

A long shot to make it. Too short and way too small by all pro football measurables, Angus beat the odds. He didn’t even begin playing football until the eleventh grade. He then missed three of his five collegiate seasons with a severe stomach ailment, making it back for his senior season and becoming only the 6th All American in school history.

Angus became the 4th overall pick in the 2001 CFL college draft by the Toronto Argonauts, only to be cut by them following his first training camp.

PERSONAL TRAGEDY… After finishing fourth at 500m in 1984, Jansen was one of the favourites in 1988. But on the morning of the 500m, his sister died of leukaemia. Jansen tried to race anyway, but fell. He fell again in the 1,000m. In 1992 he was again a favourite, but could do no better than fourth in the 500m and 26th in the 1,000m.

… LEADS TO SUCCESS! In Lillehammer, Jansen was the overwhelming favourite at 500m, but he slipped and finished eighth. Despite his great non-Olympic success, Jansen had never won an Olympic medal having competed in seven Olympic races over a ten-year period. His last chance was the 1,000m, a distance at which six of his opponents had better times. Jansen was on world record pace when he slipped during the penultimate turn. Fortunately, he steadied himself and powered on to set a new world record (1:12.43) and win an Olympic gold medal at last.

Dan Jansen is an American Speedskater whose story will go down in history exemplifying COURAGE, HEROISM, BELIEF IN SELF, and LOVE for others.
