Peace Love and Bring a Bat: Recent Episodes
David Chametzky & Launchpad 516 Studios
Finding balance in life is a process and it’s ever changing. Journey with Uncle Dave as we find out how to get through the rollercoaster of life while enjoying our clan of engaging, supportive individuals along the way. Peace and love is in abundance on our journeys, but what if sometimes you just need to bring a bat to the party and take a stand for the things you hold closest in order to find that balance. Deep conversations and deliberate chaos to expand and grow our minds and embrace our highest good...that’s what this podcast is about.
CHIP SCHOLZ: SMALL DECISIONS CREATE BIG SHIFTS
What if changing your life does not require one enormous breakthrough—but a series of small, intentional decisions made every day?
In this episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, Uncle Dave welcomes Chip Scholz, executive coach, speaker, author, woodturner, husband of 42 years, and proud father of three daughters. Chip shares lessons from nearly three decades of coaching leaders, working with family, recovering from a stroke, embracing creativity, and learning when leadership requires letting go.
After being laid off from a corporate position in California in 1998, Chip and his family moved to North Carolina. He knew he wanted to work for himself, but he arrived without an established network or local reputation. The first five years were difficult, yet one speaking opportunity at a Rotary Club introduced him to the warehousing and logistics industry.
That connection led to regional and national conferences, assessment work, leadership programs, and executive-coaching relationships around the world. Chip has now spent more than 20 years working within logistics and has led one client’s leadership program for 17 years.
Chip explains that careers rarely follow straight lines. His guiding phrase is “Semper Gumby”—always flexible. Plans change, opportunities disappear, and unexpected paths open. The key is remaining flexible enough to change direction without abandoning your values.
That flexibility became essential after Chip suffered a stroke in 2012. Although he does not want the stroke to define his story, it became a pivotal moment. His wife gave him a lathe for Christmas, introducing him to woodturning. Working with spinning wood demanded concentration, movement, patience, and creativity while helping him rebuild his cognitive abilities.
Recovery also required daily action. Chip initially could not walk around the block, but he began making the decision to put on his shoes and walk. Over two years, he walked approximately 3,500 miles and lost 110 pounds. The transformation did not come from one heroic act. It came from repeatedly choosing the next right action.
That philosophy inspired his book Small Decisions, Big Shifts. Chip reminds listeners that every decision leads toward an outcome. The routines of work, family, school, and responsibility can create a whirlwind that consumes our attention. Meaningful change begins when we intentionally make room for what matters most.
Uncle Dave and Chip also explore delegation, succession, and why many leaders hold on too long. Chip says fear is natural, but leaders must name it, understand it, and discuss it honestly. Delegation requires trust, humility, and the willingness to accept that another person may accomplish the goal differently.
Leadership eventually requires a shift from doing to being. Early in our careers, we are rewarded for personal performance. Once we lead others, our responsibility becomes developing people, communicating outcomes, and giving someone else the same opportunity once given to us.
Chip believes strong leaders do not need to be the smartest people in the room. They surround themselves with capable people, listen to different perspectives, and remain focused on results—as long as the methods remain legal, moral, and ethical.
In this episode, you will discover:
• Why small daily choices produce major transformations
• How Chip rebuilt his life after a stroke
• Why woodturning became part of his recovery
• What “Semper Gumby” teaches about flexibility
• Why delegation is fundamentally about trust
• How identity can prevent leaders from letting go
• Why leaders must move from doing to being
• How honest coaches and mentors expose blind spots
• Why curiosity helps us continue growing at every age
• How storytelling can transfer wisdom without controlling others
Chip also discusses his books Every Dog Has Its Day: Reflections on Life, Love, and the Lathe and Small Decisions, Big Shifts. His upcoming fiction book, Handoffs, explores an aging owner, his adult son, family-business succession, control, identity, and the difficult process of passing leadership to the next generation.
His message is clear: Get over yourself, remain curious, trust capable people, and make the small decisions that move you toward the life you want. You may not control every turn, but you can choose how you respond.

NANCY DEYO: WHEN PUSHING THROUGH STOPS WORKING
What happens when the determination that created your success becomes the very thing causing you harm?
In this episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, Uncle Dave welcomes Nancy Deyo, former Silicon Valley CEO, writer, speaker, resilience advocate, and longtime champion for women and girls. Nancy shares how business failure, a devastating injury, 15 years of chronic pain, and opioid dependence forced her to redefine resilience and rebuild her identity.
Nancy was the CEO of Purple Moon, an innovative technology company created to help adolescent girls become comfortable and competitive with computers. The company combined software, internet experiences, collectibles, and books designed specifically for girls.
Nancy built a team that was approximately 94 percent women and believed in hiring the smartest people possible. However, her leadership example came with a cost. She worked longer, pushed harder, and measured herself by how many goals she could surpass and how much she could endure.
When Purple Moon began running out of money, Nancy sold it to a competitor she considered an archrival. Although others viewed the sale as an accomplishment, Nancy experienced it as a personal failure. Determined to prove she could still achieve something meaningful, she decided to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
Two weeks before the climb, Nancy injured her back. Instead of stopping, she compartmentalized the pain and continued. Her team eventually fashioned a back brace from duct tape and an inflatable pillow. At 16,000 feet, she collapsed in a tent, unable to move her legs and feeling as if a steel rod were being driven through her spine.
That moment exposed the danger in the strategy that had guided her life: pushing harder could no longer solve the problem.
The injury began a 15-year struggle with debilitating chronic pain. Nancy spent years lying down beside a supply of opioids, grieving the athlete, CEO, wife, and active person she had once been. Even after surgery repaired the original damage, her nervous system remained sensitized, creating a cycle of pain, fear, isolation, and declining function.
A pain-rehabilitation and detoxification program attempted to remove the medication and rapidly restore physical activity. Nancy’s body could not tolerate the aggressive approach, and she entered the hospital unable to walk and requiring even higher doses of opioids.
Nancy finally recognized that the medical system had done what it could. Her survival required a different strategy: listening to her body, respecting its limits, releasing the person she used to be, and directing her remaining energy toward what was still possible.
A therapist encouraged Nancy to accept a “new normal.” Nancy hated the phrase until she understood that acceptance was not surrender. She did not have to give up; she needed to stop fighting herself long enough to move forward.
Unable to sit in a classroom, Nancy enrolled in graduate school and attended while lying on an army cot. During orientation, she told her classmates, “I’m good with it, so you can be too.” Months later, those classmates challenged her description of herself as a disabled chronic-pain patient. They saw a capable contributor who simply happened to work lying down.
Nancy realized that her limitations affected her—but did not define her.
She eventually traveled by purchasing three airplane seats so she could lie down, returned to meaningful work, strengthened her body, regained function, and completed a careful yearlong opioid taper under the care of a compassionate physician.
In this episode, you will discover:
• Why pushing through is not always genuine resilience
• How professional failure can damage identity and self-worth
• What Mount Kilimanjaro taught Nancy about listening to her body
• Why accepting a new normal is not the same as giving up
• How Nancy attended graduate school while lying on a cot
• Why chronic pain patients can feel blamed or dismissed
• How medical bias may affect women’s treatment
• Why our roles and limitations should never define our worth
• How focusing on what remains possible can reopen a life
Nancy’s seed for the magic garden is to separate yourself from your professional roles. Titles such as CEO—and labels such as chronic-pain patient—may describe part of an experience, but they are not your complete identity. Determine what is true, stay aligned with your body and mind, focus on what you can do, and take the first step before you feel completely ready.

REGINA HUBER: LEAD WITH HEART, ENERGY, AND YOUR UNIQUE BRILLIANCE
What can dancing teach us about trust, communication, leadership, and empowering ourselves?
In this episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, Uncle Dave welcomes Regina Huber, leadership coach, speaker, trainer, author, and founder of Transform Your Performance. Regina shares how her international business experience, passion for dance, and heart-centered approach help leaders build trust, recognize talent, and create thriving teams.
Regina grew up in a tiny Bavarian village of approximately ten houses before moving to Munich, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Argentina, New York City, and Florida. She spent 16 years with Boston Consulting Group, helped open offices in Portugal and Brazil, built brick-and-mortar businesses, and eventually launched her own coaching, speaking, and training company.
Although Regina did not grow up dancing, it became one of her greatest teachers. Partner dancing requires a leader and follower to communicate without words. If the leader cannot clearly express an intention through movement, energy, and body language, the follower will not feel safe or know where to go.
The same principle applies in business. Leadership is not merely about words, titles, clothing, or carefully prepared presentations. People quickly sense whether someone is confident, authentic, and trustworthy. Regina explains that energy often communicates faster—and louder—than words.
Dance also teaches awareness of space, cooperation, and trust. Whether moving through a crowded floor or being lifted into the air, every dancer must understand their role while remaining aware of the people around them. Teams operate the same way: individuals need clarity, communication, responsibility, and confidence that others will support them.
Regina defines heart-centered leadership as putting people at the center of an organization. When business results decline, leaders often focus first on numbers. However, the people create those results. By investing in employees, listening to them, and understanding their strengths, leaders create the conditions for performance to improve.
Her New Paradigm Leadership framework contains four elements: heart, mind, message, and trust. Heart represents compassion, courage, intuition, and accumulated wisdom. Mind represents mindset. Message covers communication, while trust is the glue that allows teams, creativity, and innovation to flourish.
True leadership begins with self-leadership. A thriving leader is more likely to create a thriving team. Leaders must develop self-awareness, care for their well-being, communicate the larger vision, and include others in decisions when appropriate. Delegation becomes more effective when people feel challenged, valued, and connected to a meaningful purpose.
Regina also encourages leaders to become genuinely curious about their team members. Someone may possess hidden abilities that never appear in a formal job description. By asking deeper questions, leaders may discover that employees can contribute more effectively—and feel more fulfilled—in different roles.
Everyone possesses what Regina calls “unique brilliance.” When leaders understand their own brilliance, they become less threatened by the talents of others. Leadership stops being a competition and becomes an opportunity to combine complementary strengths.
In this episode, you will discover:
• What partner dancing teaches about leadership and trust
• Why energy and body language speak louder than words
• How heart-centered leaders improve business performance
• Regina’s four-part New Paradigm Leadership framework
• Why courage and curiosity are essential leadership qualities
• How leaders can uncover hidden talent within their teams
• Why authentic leadership begins with self-awareness
• How to identify and value your unique brilliance
• Why business owners can become trapped by the success they created
• What it truly means to empower yourself
Regina recommends listing your talents, skills, positive qualities, and accomplishments. Ask trusted people what they value in you and where you can grow. This practice can strengthen confidence while revealing possibilities you may have overlooked.
Her final message is direct: Nobody else can empower you. Leaders, coaches, and communities can offer guidance, but empowerment remains an individual decision. Do not wait for someone else to grant permission to become who you are capable of being.

ANNIE EMPRIMA: WHEN TRAUMA RIPPLES, HEALING CAN RIPPLE TOO
What if healing required more than addressing the mind and body? What if the soul, nervous system, memories, and earlier versions of ourselves also carried wisdom we needed to hear?
In this deeply personal episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, Uncle Dave welcomes Annie Emprima, a veteran and metaphysical trauma researcher who explores healing through a mind-body-soul perspective. Rather than conducting a traditional interview, Uncle Dave hands Annie the reins and participates in a guided healing session.
Annie’s journey began during a military deployment in 2016, when she says her intuitive senses suddenly intensified. Over the following decade, she studied trauma beyond conventional medical and mental-health frameworks. She developed modalities intended to help people reconnect with parts of themselves that no longer feel authentic or aligned with their path.
Annie guides Uncle Dave into a symbolic “black room,” where emotionally significant memories appear as murals. Together, they enter those scenes as observers and connect with earlier versions of Dave who were carrying grief, guilt, loneliness, fear, and unanswered questions.
The first memory brings Dave to the funeral of a girlfriend whose death left him overwhelmed by sadness and survivor guilt. Through breathwork and visualization, Annie helps him offer his younger self the compassion and support he did not receive at the time. He reminds that version of himself that he is loved, supported, and capable of eventually finding joy beyond the pain.
The second scene involves eight-year-old Dave crying at his grandmother’s home because he wanted to be with his friends. What initially appears to be a childhood disappointment reveals a deeper pattern of feeling excluded, unheard, and unable to see the larger picture. Looking back, Dave recognizes that he missed an opportunity to appreciate time with his grandmother—but also understands that a child cannot possess the perspective of an adult.
That eight-year-old version of Dave then accompanies them into one of his darkest adult experiences: a period of suicidal ideation. Together with Annie and symbolic ancestral support, the different versions of Dave surround the man who could not see beyond his pain. They remind him that he is not alone, his future contains experiences he cannot yet imagine, and his story will eventually help others heal.
The session reveals an unexpected connection between Dave’s childhood love of baseball, his need for community, and the mission behind Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat. What appeared to be a simple childhood passion was already pointing him toward connection, storytelling, teamwork, and service.
Annie explains that healing does not require revisiting every painful memory. The focus should be on wounds that continue interfering with the present. Even joyful or seemingly unimportant memories may contain valuable wisdom because the soul does not measure significance in the same way as the conscious mind.
In this episode, you will discover:
• Why Annie views trauma as a 360-degree mind-body-soul experience
• How guided visualization can uncover patterns within memories
• Why survivor guilt may remain hidden for years
• What Uncle Dave learned from his eight-year-old self
• How childhood exclusion can influence adult experiences
• Why support and communication matter during emotional crises
• How storytelling can transform pain into connection
• Why healing one person can affect families and communities
• What it means to move from awareness to alignment and alchemy
Annie leaves listeners with an important message: Trauma ripples. Unhealed wounds can affect spouses, children, friends, pets, workplaces, classrooms, and communities. However, healing ripples too. We cannot heal another person or override their free will, but we can take responsibility for ourselves, change what we carry forward, and positively influence those around us.

THOMAS “TJ” BAIRD: HOW TELLING YOUR STORY CAN SAVE A LIFE
What happens when a battle-tested leader discovers that the most courageous thing he can do is reveal the struggles behind the uniform?
In this episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, Uncle Dave welcomes Thomas “TJ” Baird, retired Army Command Sergeant Major, bestselling author, speaker, husband, and girl dad. After 32 years of service, more than 20 worldwide deployments, and nine combat deployments, TJ shares how poetry, fatherhood, friendship, and storytelling helped save his life.
TJ’s book, Warrior Dad, began with poems and haikus written for his daughter during his final deployment to Afghanistan. She had given him a stuffed animal named Cool Bear, who traveled with TJ and even flew aboard an F-16. The poems helped them remain connected and assured his daughter that she was never forgotten.
The story carries a deeper purpose. When his daughter was six, she told TJ that he had become too frightening and wanted to return to her mother. Her honesty brought him to his knees. TJ knew he needed to change, but healing was not immediate. He struggled through dark periods, suicidal thoughts, traumatic brain injury, and years of difficult personal work.
A trusted friend quietly removed a loaded pistol from TJ’s home after recognizing the danger. Later, treatment at a polytrauma center, creative therapies, writing, family support, and self-examination helped TJ begin what he calls his Reforged journey.
Writing allowed him to confront buried experiences and transform pain into connection. TJ explains that sharing a story lightens the burden because another person may recognize that they are not alone. It also reminds the storyteller to keep walking the path of recovery.
Uncle Dave and TJ discuss why nobody else can own your story. Two people—even identical twins—can experience the same event and carry away different truths. Honest stories reveal failures and victories, close the distance between leaders and those they serve, and create lessons capable of changing lives.
Retirement brought another challenge: separating identity from rank. TJ is no longer Command Sergeant Major Baird; he is TJ Baird. Titles and outside recognition are not self-worth. He encourages people facing transition to create a five-year roadmap and build their next chapter around values, passion, and purpose.
TJ’s guiding principles include smiling, remaining disciplined in thought, word, and deed, making the team better tomorrow, staying fit in mind, body, and spirit, and living life fully.
The conversation also honors the unseen people behind every successful mission. The final one percent cannot happen without the 99 percent handling preparation, logistics, security, communication, and support. Strong leaders ensure everyone understands that their contribution matters.
In this episode, you will discover:
• How Warrior Dad became a love letter to TJ’s daughter
• Why writing became part of his healing
• How one friend helped save his life
• Why sharing difficult stories reduces isolation
• How to rebuild identity after leaving a major career
• Why personal values matter more than titles
• How leaders recognize people working behind the scenes
• Why failure can become a lesson that strengthens others
TJ leaves listeners with one clear challenge: Tell your story. Share the mistakes, support, lessons, and moments that helped you rise. As his wife’s tattoo says, “Fall seven, rise eight.” Your experience may be what someone else needs to begin again.

ROY CASTLEMAN: BUILD A BUSINESS WITHOUT BUILDING YOURSELF A PRISON
What if entrepreneurship became the very thing trapping you—and what would it take to reclaim your time, health, and purpose?
In this episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, Uncle Dave welcomes Roy Castleman, entrepreneur, business coach, AI strategist, Wim Hof instructor, and founder of All The Power. Roy shares lessons from building 15 companies, losing millions, surviving a mental-health crisis, and creating businesses that thrive without consuming their owners.
Roy arrived in the United Kingdom from South Africa in 1996 knowing almost nothing about computers. After landing an IT job, he secretly called his brother from client restrooms whenever he needed help. Years later, Roy bought the company that first hired him.
Since 2002, Roy has launched 15 companies. Some failed; four reached seven figures. His warning to entrepreneurs is blunt: avoid shiny objects. Ideas are plentiful, but success requires choosing a meaningful vision and staying focused.
In 2017, Roy was running two IT companies while working 14 hours a day, seven days a week. By implementing repeatable systems and empowering his team, he reduced his involvement to roughly five hours per week. He then acquired another company and prepared the group to operate independently.
Roy explains that a business needs its own identity, culture, systems, and vision. Founders become bottlenecks when they make every decision or expect employees to work exactly as they would. Strong leaders accept 80 percent, then give people room to grow and surpass them.
The conversation turns deeply personal as Roy describes losing millions after COVID-19 devastated his indoor adventure center. During an extremely dark moment, he stood atop a 130-foot tower intending to end his life. Three rounds of Wim Hof breathing gave him enough space to pause, climb down, and take the next step.
That experience reshaped Roy’s coaching. Business owners cannot separate growth from physical and mental health. Breathwork, cold exposure, relationships, and resilience help leaders make decisions from facts instead of fear.
Roy recommends using AI as a 60-percent tool—not a replacement for judgment, creativity, or authenticity. It can organize knowledge, document systems, repurpose stories, and complete weeks of work in hours. But it needs the owner’s experiences, brand, voice, audience, and processes. Otherwise, it produces generic “AI slop.”
Roy authored Thinking Outside Your Brain with AI in nine days. AI helped interview him, organize approximately 150 stories, and structure the manuscript, but the experiences, lessons, emotions, and voice remained his.
In this episode, you will discover:
• Why focus matters more than having endless ideas
• How systems can return time and freedom to business owners
• Why founders must stop becoming their company’s bottleneck
• How breathwork helped Roy survive his darkest moment
• Why health and resilience belong in every growth strategy
• How to use AI without losing your authentic voice
• Why businesses should operate without the founder
• How failure can become the beginning of something new
Roy’s final lesson is simple: Never undervalue what you have. Your experience, mistakes, resilience, and shortcuts can save someone else enormous time and pain. Measure the value of the problem you solve—not the limited value you place on yourself.

MICHAEL BUGARI: HOW LOSING BASEBALL, ADDICTION, AND CANCER SAVED HIS LIFE
What happens when the dream that defines your identity suddenly disappears—and everything you use to escape the pain begins destroying you?
In this episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, Uncle Dave welcomes Michael Bugari, a former professional baseball player, author, speaker, brain cancer survivor, and recovering addict. Michael shares his journey from the Boston Red Sox organization to addiction, cancer, faith, five years of sobriety, and a life committed to helping others.
Baseball became Michael’s identity at an early age. He earned a scholarship to the University of California, Berkeley, and was drafted by the Boston Red Sox during his junior year. However, an arm injury during his second professional season—and an unsuccessful surgery—ended his career.
Without baseball, Michael lost the source of attention, validation, and purpose that had guided his life. He turned to painkillers and opioids to numb his physical and emotional pain. His addiction eventually progressed to heroin.
Michael later received another devastating diagnosis: a medulloblastoma brain tumor slightly smaller than a tennis ball. He endured multiple surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation, and severe side effects. Yet even cancer did not immediately change him. His recovery began when he stopped blaming God, baseball, and the world and became honest about his choices.
Michael realized that baseball had been his first addiction. The better he performed, the more approval he received—but that approval never lasted. When he could no longer find validation on the field, he sought it through partying, relationships, substances, and other distractions.
His transformation required personal responsibility without endless self-condemnation. He could not change what happened, but he could decide what happened next. Exercise, meditation, visualization, reading, journaling, gratitude lists, and waking at 5:00 a.m. helped him create small daily victories. Those victories slowly rebuilt his self-worth from within.
Writing became especially powerful. What began as a daily practice eventually became his book, The Disease of Me: How Losing My Professional Baseball Career, Drug Addiction, and Brain Cancer Saved My Life.
Michael also discusses the importance of recognizing relapse before taking a drink or drug. For him, relapse begins in his behavior—seeking outside approval, becoming angry when life does not go his way, and refusing to accept life on life’s terms. Honesty, pattern recognition, discipline, faith, and a dependable support network help protect the life he has rebuilt.
Authenticity is now one of Michael’s highest values. He knows the desire to escape has not magically disappeared, but he no longer has to act on it. When temptation appears, he remembers the consequences, the people he hurt, and the painful cycle that always became worse.
A therapy dog also entered Michael’s life when he struggled to love himself. The dog offered companionship without judgment and became part of his healing. Michael now hopes to transform his family’s Ohio property into a retreat, dog sanctuary, or healing space where nature and animals can help others.
In this episode, you will discover:
• How a career-ending injury led Michael toward opioid addiction
• Why baseball became his first source of outside validation
• How honesty and personal responsibility changed his recovery
• Why small daily disciplines rebuild self-worth
• How to recognize relapse patterns before substances are involved
• Why failure can become one of life’s greatest teachers
• How faith, community, nature, and animals support healing
• Why giving your time to others can help free you from your own pain
Michael leaves listeners with a powerful lesson: When you feel trapped inside your own mind, help someone else. Giving your time reminds you that you are not alone, that others understand pain, and that we share far more than we realize. Service helps the person receiving it—but it can transform the giver as well.

BRET RIDGWAY: BUILDING A LEGACY THROUGH LAUGHTER, LEARNING, AND BOOKS
What happens when one playful phrase, a love for grandchildren, and a willingness to try something new become the beginning of an entire children’s book brand?
In this episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, Uncle Dave welcomes Bret Ridgway, author, speaker, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Speaker Fulfillment Services. Bret shares how he pivoted from writing business books to creating imaginative children’s stories designed to encourage reading, learning, and family connection.
The idea began after Bret became a grandfather. Wanting to create a lasting legacy for his grandchildren, he kept thinking about the phrase “crickets playing croquet.” That whimsical image led him to experiment with AI illustration and eventually develop Games Animals Play When We’re Not Looking.
Created for children ages two to five, the colorful A-to-Z book uses alliteration to imagine animals enjoying human activities: alligators arm wrestling, chickens playing checkers, squirrels playing with silly string, and many more. It also introduces children to unfamiliar animals and includes a QR code connecting families with educational facts and activities.
The book became the foundation of Laugh and Learn Library, which combines entertainment with early education. Its website features animal facts, coloring pages, and word searches. Bret has also written future titles including What Animals Dream, What Animals Drive, and Animals at Halloween.
Bret’s mission extends beyond publishing. He plans to give away 1,000 books this year and has already distributed hundreds through schools, food pantries, community programs, and families he meets while driving for Uber. His reward is seeing children become excited about reading.
Uncle Dave and Bret discuss how serving others can lift us during difficult seasons. Helping someone or giving without expecting anything in return can restore purpose and perspective.
Bret explains how AI made the project financially possible. Google Gemini helped him develop the artwork, but AI still requires creative direction, strong prompts, revisions, and quality control. Sometimes it even produces a five-legged zebra—and that one does not make the final cut.
The conversation also explores Bret’s career pivot after leaving the company he helped establish. He tried speaking and coaching but recognized that children’s publishing brought greater joy. His lesson: follow the work that gives you energy instead of chasing shiny objects.
In this episode, you will discover:
• How becoming a grandfather inspired Bret’s children’s books
• Why alliteration makes learning memorable and fun
• How AI helped turn an idea into a finished book
• Why Bret plans to give 1,000 books to children
• How service can restore purpose and lift your spirit
• Why authors should build their own reader community
• How websites and email lists create long-term relationships
• Why a career pivot can lead to unexpected fulfillment
Bret offers authors a crucial marketing lesson: do not send every reader only to Amazon or Barnes & Noble. Guide readers to your website, offer useful resources, and build an email list so you can stay connected when future books arrive.

RYAN MATTHEWS: FROM MILITARY WORKING DOGS TO PURPOSE AND IMPACT
What can animals teach us about trust, leadership, healing, and living without regret?
In this episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, Uncle Dave welcomes Ryan Matthews, an Army veteran, former military police officer, working-dog handler, entrepreneur, and dog-training expert. Ryan shares how service changed him, how animals shaped his purpose, and why veterans need stronger support when returning to civilian life.
Military members are trained to operate under pressure, remain hypervigilant, and complete dangerous missions. Yet when their service ends, they are often expected to resume ordinary life without enough preparation. Along with structure and camaraderie, many veterans lose their identity and purpose.
Ryan believes purpose can be critical to healing. He encourages veterans to explore nonprofits, service-dog organizations, equine therapy, retreats, and communities created to help them reconnect. Support exists, but veterans must be willing to reach for it.
Ryan’s first working dog was Rex, a massive German Shepherd who initially intimidated him. He later deployed to Mosul, Iraq, with another dog, Zito. Those experiences taught him courage, responsibility, and the extraordinary bond between a handler and a working dog. He also reveals that handlers and dogs do not always remain together when assignments or military careers end.
Unlike human veterans, retired working dogs do not receive continuing government medical care. Ryan highlights Project K-9 Hero, founded by veteran and former K-9 handler Jason Johnson, which supports retired military and law-enforcement dogs.
Ryan’s path began after a troubled youth and a desire to change. The Army gave him structure, while a battalion commander became a father figure and encouraged him to pursue K-9 work. Later, Ryan survived stage-three colon cancer and a widowmaker heart attack. Those encounters with death strengthened his warrior spirit and commitment to bring his best self forward.
After working with approximately 6,000 dogs, Ryan sees training as more than teaching commands. Animals reveal lessons about energy, boundaries, confidence, communication, and leadership. Trust cannot be forced. When meeting a dog, Ryan recommends standing calmly and allowing it to approach and sniff first. If it backs away, respect its decision.
Giving a treat out of guilt before leaving is not the same as building a relationship. Hand-feeding a new dog, brushing it, and walking side by side can create genuine connection. Effective training is not simply about rewards; it is about shaping mindset and developing calm behavior.
In this episode, you will discover:
• Why veterans can struggle after leaving military service
• How purpose supports healing and resilience
• What working dogs experience during and after service
• Why retired K-9 heroes need continued care
• How Ryan survived cancer and a widowmaker heart attack
• What animals teach us about trust and leadership
• Simple ways to strengthen the bond with your dog
• Why mindset matters more than treats
Ryan closes with his “rocking chair test.” One day, we will look back and consider what we did—and what fear kept us from doing. His advice is simple: live authentically, pursue what matters, stop making excuses, and act while you still can. Keep improving so others experience the best version of who you are.

DANIELLE MARIE VANDEHEI: SAILING TOWARD A MORE INTENTIONAL LIFE
What if a vacation could do more than help you escape? What if it helped you reconnect with yourself, strengthen your family, and return home with a new perspective?
In this episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, Uncle Dave welcomes Danielle Marie Vandehei, a nomadic, world-schooling mother who lives aboard a sailboat with her husband and young son. Danielle shares how her family left conventional life behind and discovered a new understanding of home, education, freedom, and purpose.
Their journey began during the COVID era. Danielle was working long hours at a job she disliked while missing valuable time with her son. Her husband was also frequently away for work, and they realized their routine was keeping them from the life they wanted.
Instead of accepting it, they sold nearly everything, purchased a 27-foot sailboat, and learned how to sail. After practicing in Florida’s Port Charlotte Harbor and traveling to Key West and the Dry Tortugas, they moved onto a larger liveaboard boat. Their adventures have since taken them through Honduras, Belize, Bocas del Toro, and the San Blas Islands of Panama.
Danielle explains how world schooling transforms travel into education. Her son learns through cultural immersion, nature, practical experience, and his interests. He has developed skills in fishing, preparing food, building fires, recognizing marine life, and entrepreneurship. Traditional subjects remain part of his education, but curiosity and real-world participation guide the process.
That philosophy inspired Water World Micro Expeditions. Danielle’s family welcomes one small family at a time aboard their sailboat for an experience that goes beyond an ordinary tropical vacation. Guests explore the San Blas Islands while learning about sailing, marine life, ocean conservation, sustainability, and intentional living.
There is no rigid itinerary. Families may snorkel, fish, explore an island, study the wind, learn to handle ropes, practice breathwork, journal, or rest beneath the sun. If someone needs another quiet day instead of another sail, the plans change. Mother Nature runs the clock—and she does not accept meeting invitations.
Danielle also discusses living together in close quarters. Every family member needs personal space. That might mean swimming, paddling, journaling, practicing Kundalini, working on the boat, fishing, or visiting other boating families. The lifestyle requires communication, patience, flexibility, and healthy boundaries.
Some of their greatest experiences could never have been scheduled: watching eagle rays beneath the boat, swimming near sea turtles, encountering a seven- or eight-foot nurse shark, and seeing hundreds of newly hatched baby turtles surround their vessel. These moments strengthened Danielle’s gratitude and revealed the extraordinary world beneath the ocean’s surface.
Sailing has taught the family to cooperate with nature instead of trying to control it. Weather windows change, destinations must wait, and everyone must adapt. Four-day ocean passages demand endurance, discipline, and trust. For Danielle, being far from land also creates the stillness needed to look inward and ask deeper questions about purpose.
Danielle hopes to expand Water World Micro Expeditions, move to a larger boat, keep an expedition operating in San Blas, and eventually circumnavigate the globe. Her son dreams of visiting the Great Barrier Reef, while Danielle hopes to sail to French Polynesia.
In this episode, you will discover:
• Why Danielle’s family sold everything and learned to sail
• How world schooling turns everyday experiences into education
• What children gain from travel, nature, and practical learning
• How families maintain boundaries aboard a sailboat
• Why slowing down can support healing and self-discovery
• What guests experience on a Water World Micro Expedition
• How sailing builds patience, adaptability, and gratitude
• Why meaningful travel should create connection, not escape
Danielle leaves listeners with a powerful reminder: You can accomplish what you want when you open yourself to possibility, find the right support, and pursue your life with intention.

CJ MONEYWAY: KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN AND BUILD BRICK BY BRICK
What are you paying attention to—and what truths have you chosen not to see?
In this episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, Uncle Dave welcomes Corwin “CJ Moneyway” Johnson, host of The CJ Moneyway Show, author, speaker, entrepreneur, and faith-driven storyteller. CJ shares how fatherhood, adversity, discipline, and faith transformed his life.
CJ grew up in Gary, Indiana, with parents who provided love, faith, structure, and discipline. He did not always appreciate those lessons, but they created a foundation he would need during one of his most challenging seasons.
In the late 1990s, CJ faced the consequences of his choices while preparing to become a father to multiple children. Overwhelmed and uncertain, he searched for answers. One day, his father found him reading the Bible and knew something was wrong. CJ now sees that moment as God calling him back to solid ground. In 2000, he began reading Scripture for himself and viewing his purpose through different eyes.
CJ explains the meaning behind Both Eyes Open, Both Eyes Shut. Many people keep their eyes open to society’s glitz, money, popularity, and attention while closing them to faith, character, and purpose. He compares his earlier decisions to building a house on sand: whenever pressure arrived, everything collapsed. Today, he is building his life on rock.
Uncle Dave and CJ discuss why Being Authentic Today requires honesty about mistakes, weaknesses, ego, and unfinished work. Growth does not come from pretending to have all the answers. It happens brick by brick through consistency, accountability, feedback, and the willingness to continue after disappointment.
That approach helped CJ build The CJ Moneyway Show into a podcast ranked among the top two percent globally. Still, rankings are not his reason for doing the work. Impact matters more than applause. Victory happens when listeners recognize their own story and return because the message helped them.
CJ also reveals the hidden work behind success. Audiences see the finished podcast, book, interview, or post, but rarely see the preparation, editing, thumbnails, setbacks, and long hours. Lasting success means showing up when no one is watching or encouraging you.
Faith guides The CJ Moneyway Show, Both Eyes Open, Both Eyes Shut, Faith Through Trial, and his book, Planting Seeds with CJ. He believes meaningful conversations happen when people remove their masks and speak honestly.
The conversation also explores choosing the right voices during difficult seasons. Not everyone has the wisdom or empathy to guide you. Some respond by projecting their own experiences onto you. Genuine support requires listening, compassion, honesty, and a foundation stronger than personal opinion.
In this episode, you will discover:
• Why discipline builds lasting legacies
• How fatherhood became a turning point in CJ’s life
• What Both Eyes Open, Both Eyes Shut truly means
• Why consistency matters more than immediate recognition
• How faith provides stability during adversity
• Why authentic storytelling creates connection and healing
• Why meaningful success must be built brick by brick
CJ closes with a reminder from Psalm 23: We are meant to walk through the valley—not build a house there. Difficult seasons are real, but they are not permanent addresses. Tear down the house you built in the valley, keep walking, and rebuild on stronger ground.

Five Minutes Back to Yourself: Alecia Iwanchuk on Yoga, Breathwork, Trauma Healing, and Listening to the BodyUncle Dave welcomes Alecia Iwanchuk, founder of Intentions Yoga, somatic yoga coach, Kundalini yoga teacher, and wellness guide based in Saskatoon, Canada, for a thoughtful conversation about yoga, breathwork, self-love, nervous-system regulation, trauma healing, and learning how to reconnect with the wisdom of the body.
Alecia shares how her journey began with a gradual spiritual awakening around 2012. She started questioning the stories and systems around her, but eventually realized that focusing only on what was happening outside of her did not provide the healing or direction she needed. Her deeper transformation began when she turned inward.
Yoga first entered her life through a gym class in 2015. She did not begin with a spiritual goal. She simply wanted to exercise. Over time, however, the practice changed the way she responded to stress, conflict, and emotional intensity.
Alecia recalls a defining moment during an argument with her former husband. Instead of becoming completely lost inside the conflict, she suddenly recognized where her energy ended and his began. She could observe what was happening without becoming fully entangled in it. That moment showed her that yoga was doing much more than increasing flexibility—it was creating clarity, awareness, and emotional space.
Following her divorce and the disruption of the pandemic, Alecia committed more deeply to her own healing. She completed yoga teacher training, launched Intentions Yoga, and eventually left a 17-year corporate career to build a soul-led business centered on helping others develop a healthier relationship with themselves.
Alecia explains that “holding space” means creating an environment where people feel safe enough to explore what is happening within them. They are allowed to cry, slow down, feel, question, and go deeper without pressure or judgment. The coach or teacher does not force healing. They create the conditions in which healing can become possible.
A major theme of the episode is the nervous system. When someone has unresolved pain inside, that pain often searches for a way to express itself through relationships, reactions, tension, or emotional triggers. As the nervous system becomes calmer, people gain the ability to witness what is happening instead of automatically reacting.
Alecia describes how she now notices difficult information moving through her body without the same clenching or panic she once experienced. This did not happen through one dramatic breakthrough. It came through disciplined practice, including meditation, yoga, breathwork, mantras, mudras, and intentional 40-day commitments.
The conversation also explores self-love. David shares how being asked whether he loved himself felt like hearing a question in another language. He had lived more than 50 years without recognizing self-love as something he was allowed to practice.
Alecia explains that self-love can be approached through the body and energy system. In her work, she may use heart-centered movement, intentional postures, breath, chanting, and focused awareness to help people connect with feelings they cannot always reach through thought alone.
Healing may not arrive during the session itself. Sometimes a person practices consistently and then, on an ordinary Tuesday, realizes that something inside has shifted.
Alecia also introduces the idea of somatic breathing. “Somatic” simply means body-based. The breath is unique because it happens automatically, but we can also consciously guide it. By slowing down and following the breath into the body, a person can return to the present moment.
She discusses Breath of Fire, a powerful Kundalini breathing practice used to awaken energy, move stagnation, and create a sense of renewal. Alecia compares it to a forest fire clearing away old growth so that something new can emerge.
For beginners, her advice is simple:
Start with five intentional minutes every day.
Those five minutes might include gentle movement, breathing, journaling, meditation, or simply turning attention away from the outside world and back toward yourself. One long class each week can be valuable, but five consistent minutes every day may create a deeper shift.
The practice does not require perfection. When the mind wanders, return to the breath. When the body becomes tired, recommit. When a posture does not feel right, listen to the body rather than forcing it.
Alecia also discusses her somatic yoga coaching for people living with trauma. Trauma may remain in the nervous system even after someone has told the story many times. Some people disconnect from their bodies as a way of surviving. Somatic work helps them slowly rebuild safety, awareness, and capacity so they can release some of the emotional charge without becoming overwhelmed.
Her Magic Garden seed is a vision for a world that values human wellness as much as productivity and economic output. Rather than measuring success only through money or growth, she hopes humanity begins asking whether people feel safe, healthy, peaceful, connected, and genuinely alive.
Alecia’s message is a reminder that yoga is not simply sitting on a mat or achieving the perfect pose. It is the practice of returning to yourself, listening to your body, calming your nervous system, and creating enough space for truth and healing to emerge.

Never Quit Trying: Jay Setchell on Leadership, Faith, Resilience, and the Strength Within YouUncle Dave welcomes Jay Setchell, U.S. Marine Corps veteran, entrepreneur, author, speaker, and founder of Never Quit Trying, for a powerful conversation about surviving the impossible, leading by example, trusting God, and refusing to let pain determine the rest of your life.
Jay grew up on a working farm in north-central Illinois, surrounded by livestock, crops, machinery, and responsibilities that could not be postponed. Farm life taught him discipline, adaptability, and the importance of finding another useful task when the original plan falls apart. Those lessons shaped how he later approached military service, business, disability, leadership, and recovery.
After enlisting in the Marine Corps in 1967, Jay suffered catastrophic injuries in 1969. He spent approximately a year in a naval hospital, including months in traction and time in a coma. During one medical crisis, he describes watching doctors work on his body from above before believing he was gone. A physician returned, performed an emergency tracheotomy, and helped bring him back.
That was not Jay’s final encounter with death. He later survived a drunk-driving collision, a broken neck that left him paralyzed from the shoulders down, numerous surgeries, severe COVID after doctors told his wife to prepare for his death, and a highway crash that sent his vehicle across multiple lanes. Through every setback, Jay returned to the same belief: if God has kept you alive, there is still work for you to do.
When employers could not accommodate his physical limitations, Jay created his own opportunities. He launched businesses, led teams, entered the graphics and trade-show industry, developed homes, and continued finding new ways to contribute. Even after being placed on long-term disability at 41, he refused to treat his life as finished.
Jay’s leadership philosophy is rooted in responsibility rather than titles. Leaders should be willing to clean the restroom, pick something up from the floor, park farther away so the customer gets the best space, and help move materials before the rain arrives. Leadership means doing what is right, following through, and never asking someone else to do work you consider beneath you.
He also emphasizes genuine human connection. In a “microwave society” obsessed with speed, automated outreach, and instant results, Jay still believes in looking someone in the eye, shaking their hand, learning how their business works, and demonstrating that you care. People may hear what you know, but they respond when they understand how much you care.
The conversation explores planning, flexibility, and action. Plans provide direction, but no business or battle unfolds exactly as expected. Strong leaders dream big, take manageable steps, and remain flexible enough to adjust. Faith and hope matter, but they must be paired with discipline, movement, and a willingness to meet God halfway.
Jay’s book, The Strength Within You: It’s Always Too Soon to Quit, encourages readers to draw strength from everything they have survived. Pain, frustration, faith, upbringing, adversity, and previous victories can all become resources for the next challenge.
His Magic Garden seed is simple but demanding: find something meaningful, build a vision, stay flexible, practice discipline, and keep moving forward. Progress may be slow, but the tortoise wins because it does not stop.
Jay shares the story of an 88-year-old widow who had lost interest in living to 90. After reading his book several times, she wrote to say she was now planning her 95th birthday. That message captures the purpose behind Jay’s work: one person’s refusal to quit can become another person’s reason to keep going.
As Jay says, “It’s always too soon to quit trying.”

Take Up Space With Grace: Genevieve Pool and Uncle Dave on Mental Wellness, Self-Love, and HealingUncle Dave welcomes Genevieve “Jen” Pool, writer and host of the With Genevieve Podcast, for a special cross-podcast conversation about therapy, coping mechanisms, suicide survival, self-love, creativity, community, and becoming more present.
Jen explains why she began podcasting in English after first creating content in Dutch. A planned move to Toronto did not happen, but the dream behind it remained. She continued building a platform where therapists, business owners, writers, and mental-health advocates could share ideas that help listeners grow. That decision connected her with a worldwide community—including Uncle Dave.
The conversation explores the ways people cope when life feels unsafe. Jen identifies humor as one of her strongest coping mechanisms. Growing up with a narcissistic father and experiencing parentification, she often became responsible for reducing tension, carrying other people’s emotions, and keeping everyone comfortable. Humor helped her survive, but it also made others assume she was always strong and did not need support.
Therapy helped Jen recognize that being funny and being emotionally well are not always the same thing. She also learned that finding the right therapist is personal. Someone may be professionally qualified and still not be the correct match. Healing requires a relationship where a person can be direct, vulnerable, and honest without feeling judged.
David shares his own experience with therapy, suicide survival, recovery advocacy, and the Havening Techniques. He explains how gently rubbing the hands can act as a personal reset button during stressful moments. It does not erase the problem, but it can help someone feel safer and respond with greater intention.
Both hosts speak openly about surviving suicide attempts and receiving the message that their lives were not finished. David was told to return and tell his story. Since then, he has written books, delivered a TEDx talk, helped others reach stages, and built Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat into a platform for healing stories.
Jen once believed she would never reach 30. Now, at 32, she is building a podcast, writing her first full manuscript, and learning to see herself as a work in progress rather than a broken person. Her writing explores psychology, self-love, childhood experiences, and rebuilding after painful relationships.
David encourages her to keep writing without becoming trapped by perfection. A book does not have to please everyone to matter. If writing it brings healing and one reader feels understood, it has already created value. Deadlines may offer direction, but grace matters more than forcing a project before it is ready.
The episode also examines self-love and forgiveness. Loving yourself does not mean approving of every decision. It means refusing to abandon yourself when you make a mistake. Other people may never apologize, understand, or offer closure, but we can still forgive ourselves and choose a healthier next step.
Jen shares how yoga, breathing, and body awareness help her slow down and listen to what she needs. When a migraine begins or exhaustion appears, she no longer automatically pushes through. She treats those signals as information and gives herself permission to rest.
David explains that his recent heart procedure created a similar reckoning. Watching doctors place a stent inside his own heart made the need for change immediate. Recovery forced him to slow down, leave a stressful role, reconnect with his podcast, and discover that spending time alone no longer had to feel frightening.
Jen’s guiding mantra is:
“Take up space with grace.”
People are allowed to be confident, visible, ambitious, and fully themselves without becoming cruel or dismissive.
David’s guiding practice is presence. The past can teach us, and the future can guide us, but power exists in the choices we make today. We can acknowledge mistakes, apologize when needed, learn from what happened, and still refuse to remain trapped inside an old version of ourselves.
They close by discussing baseball and the meaning behind “Bring a Bat.” The bat represents balance, boundaries, authenticity, and finding your personal sweet spot. Success does not always look like a home run. Sometimes it means showing up, swinging with intention, and knowing you did the best you could.
This episode is a reminder that healing is not a straight line, community matters, and nobody has to figure everything out alone. We are all works in progress, still learning how to care for ourselves while becoming the people we are meant to be.

Near-Death SHIFT: Holly Porter on Purpose, Transformation, and Loving People Where They AreUncle Dave welcomes Holly Porter—entrepreneur, transformational leader, author, philanthropist, wife, mother of eight, and grandmother of 19—to discuss surviving COVID, experiencing a near-death event, rebuilding after trauma, and discovering a deeper mission.
Holly had spent decades launching businesses and raising a large family when COVID changed everything. She entered the hospital with an oxygen level of 63 and spent 70 days receiving intensive care. She was intubated twice, received a tracheostomy, developed sepsis, and endured extensive treatments. Her husband was also dealing with COVID and blood clots, so he could not manage her care. Holly considers it a miracle that family members were permitted to stay with her when so many patients faced illness alone.
Leaving the hospital on November 11—11/11—began a difficult recovery. She lost most of her hair, experienced severe pain, and needed more than a year to begin feeling functional again.
Her daily philosophy became: “Better is better.”
Instead of comparing herself to who she had been before the illness, Holly focused on one question: What can I do today to become slightly healthier than I was yesterday? That shift helped her stop seeing herself only as a victim and begin asking what the experience might be teaching her.
During her hospitalization, Holly experienced out-of-body events, a spiritually transformative experience, and a near-death experience. She describes visiting places connected to her family history and receiving messages that gave her a renewed sense of purpose. Holly says she was sent back with a mission.
Those experiences became the foundation for her book, Near Death SHIFT: What Life Taught Me About Life, Business, and Purpose. SHIFT stands for Surrender, Hope, Intuition, Faith, and Transformation. Holly explains that surrender and transformation are the bookends of meaningful change. We cannot fully transform while holding tightly to every former identity, expectation, habit, and plan.
Her journey also inspired the International Retreat Association, created to serve retreat leaders, venues, travel professionals, wellness providers, chefs, attorneys, software companies, and other partners. Holly saw an industry with enormous growth but no central association providing shared ethics, education, standards, best practices, or resources. Rather than waiting for someone else to build it, she accepted the assignment.
The conversation also explores Holly’s nonprofit work. Adventure Bucket Wish Foundation originally focused on long COVID, but its mission shifted toward helping women move through adversity and rediscover purpose through RBL Women—Rise, Build, Lead. Her longer-term vision includes supporting children, foster youth, and young people aging out of care.
Holly closes with the message that transformed how she sees other people. During a hypnosis session revisiting her near-death experience, she asked why her life review had shown her only the good moments. The answer she received was:
“I’m showing you the good because that’s what matters.”
Then came the lesson that continues to guide her:
“Love them where they’re at.”
We cannot control another person’s path, timing, understanding, or choices. We can maintain boundaries and protect ourselves while releasing judgment and meeting people where they currently stand. Holly’s story reminds us that transformation begins with surrender, purpose can emerge from pain, and love remains one of the most powerful ways to shift the world.

Your Best Health Is Hiding in Your Calendar: Mo Cooper on Nutrition, Self-Awareness, and Sustainable Change
Uncle Dave welcomes Mo Cooper, healthy lifestyle coach and founder of Mo Mind Body Soul, for an honest and practical conversation about food, weight loss, time management, self-love, movement, sleep, and creating a healthier life without attempting to change everything overnight.
Mo explains that although many people initially seek her help because they want to lose weight, weight loss is often the byproduct of building a healthier lifestyle. Her approach developed through her own experience as a busy mother trying to care for three children at different stages of life while feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from herself.
Her transformation began with one small decision: waking up before the rest of the household. What started as early-morning exercise became protected time to enjoy breakfast, sit quietly, and care for herself before everyone else needed something. Over time, that simple routine became the foundation for greater peace, strength, confidence, and health.
David shares how his recent heart-health scare forced him to reconsider choices he previously believed were relatively healthy. Their green-room conversation revealed one surprising example: beginning the morning with a sugary cereal may create a very different start to the day than a meal built around protein and healthy fats.
Mo encourages listeners to pay attention to how breakfast influences hunger, energy, and cravings throughout the day. Rather than limiting breakfast to traditional foods, she recommends considering satisfying combinations such as eggs, avocado, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, nuts, lean meats, fish, or even leftover taco meat and vegetables. Her message is not that everyone must eat the same foods, but that people should understand what they are putting into their bodies and make intentional choices.
The conversation also explores the difference between information and application. Most people already know that heavily processed foods, excessive sugar, and frequent fast food may not support their goals. The real challenge is translating that knowledge into daily decisions—especially when people are tired, stressed, alone, busy, or looking for comfort.
Mo shares her personal journey of gaining more than 65 pounds during pregnancy, living with multiple sclerosis, struggling with low self-esteem, and feeling like an alien inside her own body. She did not begin exercising seriously until her late 30s, proving that a healthier life does not require a childhood filled with sports or decades of perfect habits.
At 55, Mo values strength, mobility, energy, and independence. She may not always enjoy waking up early for boot camp, but she deeply values how movement allows her to feel inside her body.
David and Mo also discuss community as an essential part of wellness. David shares his Sunday tradition with his 97-year-old neighbor, Connie, who prepares food and spends time talking with him. The meal represents more than nutrition—it carries connection, care, history, and love. Mo explains that relationships, purpose, and belonging can be just as important to long-term wellness as food and exercise.
A central theme of the episode is becoming unapologetic about your health. Family members, friends, and coworkers may not always understand new boundaries or lifestyle changes. They may encourage someone to abandon a goal because “one more piece won’t hurt.” Mo reminds listeners that their health is not a public vote.
That does not mean never eating pizza, pasta, dessert, or celebration food again. It means making those choices consciously rather than allowing convenience, pressure, or habit to make them automatically.
Mo’s five foundational areas of a healthy lifestyle include:
Time management
Nutrition
Stress management
Movement
Sleep and recovery
She explains that mindset is often the result of consistently investing in these areas. When people nourish themselves, protect their sleep, move their bodies, manage stress, and use their time intentionally, confidence and self-respect begin to grow naturally.
One of Mo’s most powerful tools is the time audit. She encourages people to review their days in 30-minute increments and ask:
What was I doing?
How did I feel?
Was I working, resting, scrolling, worrying, or avoiding something?
Did this activity support the life I want?
The exercise is not intended to create shame. It develops awareness. Once people understand where their time is going, they can recognize where their health goals are being supported—and where time is quietly leaking away.
Mo also emphasizes that coaches must recognize the boundaries of their expertise. Some people carry trauma, shame, or emotional wounds that require help from a qualified therapist. A responsible coach can listen, guide, and support healthy habits while also recognizing when another professional is needed.
Her seed for the Magic Garden is simple:
Your best health is closer than you think—and it may already be hiding inside your calendar.
Do not attempt to overhaul your entire life overnight. Begin with one small action you can repeat consistently. Protect one bedtime. Improve one breakfast. Take one walk. Review one day of your time. Treat yourself like someone deeply worthy of care.
Small decisions, practiced consistently, can change the direction of a life.

Rise Above the Narrative: Kneet on Music, Motherhood, Advocacy, and Reclaiming Your VoiceUncle Dave welcomes Kneet, a Punjabi Sikh artist raised in Thailand, psychology graduate, mother, and founder of Protect Children New York, for a powerful conversation about music, identity, domestic abuse, family court, mental wellness, and rising after life attempts to rewrite your story.
Kneet shares how her song “Rise” grew from an honest conversation with her producer about domestic violence, coercive control, and the painful family-court battle she experienced after coming to the United States. What began as emotional venting became a deeply personal song about refusing to let another person define her identity. Returning to the location where her story began to film the music video—and bringing her son with her—became an empowering part of her healing.
The conversation explores the mission behind Protect Children New York, an initiative created to bring greater attention to children affected by coercive control, psychological abuse, emotional trauma, and harmful family-court decisions. Kneet explains that these forms of abuse may not leave visible marks, making them difficult for courts to recognize. Children may also lack the language to explain their experiences or form trauma bonds that prevent them from speaking openly.
David and Kneet discuss how family-court cases can become battles over who presents the stronger legal narrative rather than a complete investigation into what is best for the child. Kneet hopes to use her music, education, advocacy, and public platform to encourage courts and communities to recognize the emotional and psychological realities children face.
Kneet also shares the cultural influences behind her music. Born and raised in Bangkok while maintaining her Punjabi Sikh heritage, she brings Indian, Thai, Asian, and Western elements into her artistry. Her song “My Man” celebrates her Punjabi roots, while “To the Moon” began as a lullaby inspired by the phrase her father used with her son: “I love you to the moon and back.” Although listeners may hear it as a romantic song, its original meaning centers on the bond between a mother and child and their dream of escaping together to a peaceful place.
Music has become more than a career for Kneet—it is a vessel for healing, storytelling, and reclaiming the identity she felt she lost under another person’s control. Each song represents a part of her life, allowing her to transform pain, love, struggle, and hope into something others can connect with.
Kneet explains that reclaiming your voice begins with getting to know yourself again. When other people repeatedly tell us who we are, we can lose track of our preferences, boundaries, passions, and direction. Self-reclamation requires pausing long enough to ask what you believe, what you enjoy, and which path you choose.
The episode also highlights the importance of community. Kneet credits her parents, producer, son, and trusted supporters with helping her remain grounded. When she forgets who she is, the right people remind her—not of the identity created by someone else, but of the authentic person they have always known.
Her seed for the Magic Garden is simple: no one is an island. Healing, creativity, parenting, and advocacy all require the right support system. Faith can guide us, but we must also help ourselves, accept support, and surround ourselves with people who encourage us to rise.
Kneet’s message is one of resilience: falling does not make us failures. We are human, and difficult seasons will come. What matters is recognizing when it is time to stand, reclaim the truth, and rise again.

Live Fully, Lead Authentically: Kurt Bush on Emotional Regulation, Reflection, and Becoming a Leader Worth FollowingUncle Dave welcomes Kurt Bush, leadership coach, former manufacturing leader and pastor, co-founder of Brimstone Coaching Group, and co-author of Live Fully: Lead Authentically, for a thoughtful conversation about authentic leadership, emotional regulation, resilience, and helping overwhelmed leaders become unstuck.
Kurt shares how his understanding of leadership developed through two very different environments. He began his career inside a manufacturing plant, where he learned to lead both people and production processes. He later attended seminary and spent approximately a decade pastoring churches, where leadership meant guiding volunteers, developing other leaders, and helping people manage anxiety during uncertain seasons.
During the pandemic and the cultural upheaval of 2020, Kurt discovered how much he valued coaching anxious leaders. He found purpose in helping people lower the emotional temperature, regain perspective, and focus on the work and people in front of them. That realization eventually led him to transition from pastoral ministry into full-time leadership coaching.
David and Kurt discuss why leadership is not about being the smartest person in the room or possessing every answer. A leader may have authority, but people still decide whether that person is worth following. Authentic leadership begins with becoming clear about who you want to be, how you want to show up, and whether your daily behavior aligns with those values.
Kurt challenges the idea that authenticity means acting without a filter or excusing hurtful behavior by saying, “That’s just who I am.” Authenticity is not permission to remain emotionally reactive. It is the willingness to hold up a mirror, acknowledge behavior that does not reflect your best self, and take intentional steps to respond differently.
The conversation also explores Kurt’s transformational framework:
E + R = T
- Encounter: A difficult, surprising, or emotionally activating moment
- Reflection: Examining what happened, who was involved, what emotions surfaced, and how you responded
- Transformation: Choosing how you want to act when a similar situation happens again
Kurt explains that reflection rarely happens by accident. Leaders may need to schedule time for it, particularly when silence and self-examination feel uncomfortable. Transformation begins when we stop reacting automatically and become curious about what is happening inside us.
Kurt and David also discuss the inner critic. The goal is not always to silence it. Sometimes the inner critic points toward something that genuinely needs attention. The important distinction is whether that voice drives us toward curiosity and growth—or toward hiding, shame, and avoidance.
One of the most powerful parts of the episode explores protective promises. These are unconscious promises we make after painful or embarrassing childhood experiences, such as:
- “I will never let people think I am stupid.”
- “I will never allow myself to be embarrassed again.”
- “I will stay quiet so I cannot be rejected.”
Those promises may protect a child, but they can restrict an adult leader.
Kurt shares how misspelling the word “farm” during a childhood spelling bee created a fear of appearing unintelligent. Years later, that protective promise still encouraged him to remain silent in important conversations. His healing required replacing it with a purposeful promise:
“I am here on purpose.”
That promise then supports a preferred action:
“I say what is true for me.”
The conversation closes with an important reminder for exhausted leaders: frustration, burnout, and overwhelm do not have to be accepted as permanent parts of adulthood. Hard seasons will still happen, but people can learn to navigate them in a way that creates greater peace, sustainability, and wholeness.
Kurt’s seed for the Magic Garden is simple: find someone you trust and tell them how you truly feel. Naming exhaustion, anxiety, or overwhelm can be the first step toward discovering that another way of living and leading is possible.

Shining Light on the Shadows: Sayen Gates on Healing, Self-Awareness, and Giving Yourself PermissionUncle Dave welcomes Sayen Gates, shadow life coach, author, doula, and host of the Shadow Corner Podcast, for a deeply personal conversation about shadow work, childhood wounds, emotional triggers, self-awareness, and learning to accept every part of yourself.
Sayen explains that shadow work is not something dark or frightening. It is the process of recognizing the memories, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors we have suppressed because they did not seem to fit the person we believed we needed to become. Drawing from her own experiences with people-pleasing, overgiving, religious trauma, sexual assault, and emotional and physical abuse, she shares how confronting those hidden pieces helped her become more authentic and intentional.
David and Sayen discuss how unresolved experiences can become emotional “landmines.” Other people may unknowingly step on those triggers because they were never given a map. Instead of immediately reacting, shadow work teaches us to pause, separate the person from the problem, identify the memory attached to the reaction, and ask whether the situation deserves our time and energy.
Sayen also explains why healing does not happen once. As we grow, new levels of awareness reveal patterns we could not previously see. Life may retest us—not as punishment, but as an opportunity to demonstrate growth, practice accountability, and respond differently than we would have in the past.
The conversation explores Sayen’s work as a birth and postpartum doula, the emotional realities surrounding pregnancy and motherhood, and the importance of holding space without judgment. Sometimes people do not need advice or immediate solutions. They simply need someone who will listen, allow them to feel, and remind them they are not alone.
Sayen closes with her guiding lesson: give yourself permission. Give yourself permission to grieve, receive, rest, feel joy, forgive your past, choose yourself, and live according to what truly lights a fire within you. We often grant compassion and understanding to others while denying those same gifts to ourselves. Healing begins when we recognize that we are worthy of receiving what we so freely give.

Saving Rikers Island’s Forgotten Cats: Barry Hyman on Rescue, Compassion, and Second ChancesUncle Dave welcomes longtime friend Barry Hyman, senior staff optometrist at Rikers Island, Knights of Pythias brother, and dedicated volunteer with the Rikers Island Cat Rescue, to discuss the extraordinary effort to protect and humanely manage the island’s feral-cat population.
Barry shares how discovering kittens outside one of the jail facilities in 2019 led him to connect with retired correction captain Gloria Morelli and become certified in TNR—trap, neuter, and return. Since then, a small team of volunteers has helped reduce the cat population from more than 500 to approximately 250–300 by organizing mass-trapping events, coordinating veterinary care, maintaining feeding stations, providing fresh water, and building winter shelters across Rikers Island’s roughly 465 acres.
The conversation explores how quickly an unaltered pair of cats can create an enormous colony, why straw rather than blankets should be used in outdoor shelters, and how abandoned domestic cats can become part of the island’s population. Barry also explains how damaged or donated pet products from organizations and retailers help the rescue obtain food and supplies at reduced costs—but fundraising, transportation, medical care, and daily maintenance remain constant challenges.
Barry also shares exciting progress toward establishing a centralized cat sanctuary on Rikers Island. The proposed sanctuary would bring the cats into one protected location, simplify their daily care, make newly abandoned cats easier to identify, and potentially create a program where eligible detainees learn animal care, responsibility, empathy, and practical trapping skills. Similar correctional animal programs have shown that caring for animals can reduce violence and help participants rediscover compassion, purpose, and connection.
This episode is a powerful reminder that meaningful change often begins with one person noticing a problem, choosing to help, and continuing to show up—even when the work is difficult, unglamorous, and largely unseen.

From “Why Me?” to “Try Me”: Dan MacQueen on Resilience, Recovery, and Becoming BulletproofUncle Dave welcomes Dan MacQueen, a keynote speaker based in Vancouver, Canada, to discuss resilience, change management, motivation, and the extraordinary recovery journey that reshaped his entire life.
Dan shares how recurring headaches and temporary blindness on a London Underground platform eventually revealed a dangerous buildup of pressure in his brain caused by a noncancerous cyst. Emergency surgery led to a massive brain hemorrhage, a four-week coma, significant weight loss, and the devastating realization that he would need to relearn how to walk, talk, and smile.
Rather than allowing the diagnosis to define his future, Dan began rebuilding his life through small, meaningful improvements. He explains his “aim small, miss small, and ratchet” philosophy—setting manageable goals, establishing a new baseline, and gradually raising the standard. Whether reducing the time it took to move in a wheelchair, learning to walk through the crowded streets of London, or returning to the ski slopes years later, Dan focused on consistent progress rather than instant transformation.
David and Dan discuss how changing your perspective can transform an experience. What Dan initially considered the worst possible place to relearn walking—busy Tooting Broadway—eventually became the best training ground because every collision and obstacle made him stronger. His lesson is clear: when you change how you look at a challenge, the challenge itself begins to change.
Dan also explores failure, discipline, and keeping promises to yourself. He explains that confidence does not come from repeating empty affirmations—it develops by consistently doing what you said you would do. Through swimming, meditation, clean eating, public speaking, and daily routines, Dan has built a powerful stack of evidence proving that he can rely on himself.
The conversation also introduces Dan’s philosophy of “Play Loose, Look Tight”—have fun, remain curious, and bring lightness into difficult situations while still showing up intentionally and professionally. He shares how humor, including his famous “naked walks,” helped him find joy during an otherwise painful and frightening recovery.
Dan’s journey represents a powerful transformation from asking “Why me?” to declaring “Try me.” His guiding message is rooted in stoicism: life will deliver punches, setbacks, diagnoses, and unexpected changes, but what ultimately matters is how we choose to respond.

Uncle Dave welcomes longtime friend Javier “Javi” Santana, entrepreneur, brand strategist, storyteller, former Division I baseball player, and founder of Vida Brand Lab and Vivir Coffee Company, for a conversation about identity, culture, community, passion, and learning to trust yourself.
Javi shares his journey from growing up in Puerto Rico and Northern Virginia to building a successful career in marketing, communications, branding, and storytelling. He explains how his love of coffee evolved into a mission to create more than another coffee company. Through Vivir Coffee, Javi plans to source green coffee beans directly from farmers, roast them himself, share the stories behind the farms, and build a lifestyle brand centered on culture, connection, and living fully in the present.
David and Javi also explore the difference between being alone and being lonely, why community requires both giving and receiving, and how men often lose themselves by hiding emotions, staying busy, and putting everyone else first. Javi reflects on rediscovering the passionate and expressive version of himself that had been buried beneath responsibility, expectations, and the pressure to maintain a false sense of strength.
They discuss authentic storytelling, creative vision, leadership, Star Wars, baseball, and the importance of allowing yourself to feel both pain and joy. Javi closes with his guiding lesson: before expecting others to trust you, you must learn to trust yourself. You may make mistakes, change your mind, or need help—but when you truly believe in yourself, the fog begins to lift and new possibilities appear.

Uncle Dave welcomes Frank King, comedian, suicide-prevention speaker, mental health advocate, and former writer for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, for an honest conversation about depression, suicidal ideation, comedy, and the power of speaking openly about mental wellness. Frank shares his family’s history of suicide, his own experience surviving a suicidal crisis after bankruptcy, and what it means to live with major depressive disorder and chronic suicidal ideation.
Frank explains how humor can make painful conversations easier to hear without minimizing their seriousness. He discusses warning signs that someone may be struggling, the importance of directly asking about thoughts of suicide, and how one compassionate conversation can help save a life. He also shares stories from his speaking career, including moments when audience members revealed that his presentation helped them seek support instead of continuing to suffer silently.
David and Frank explore how comedians transform personal pain into stories that create laughter, connection, and hope. Frank offers practical advice for speakers and entrepreneurs: choose a clear lane, understand the people you are meant to serve, become known for something meaningful, and bring your authentic voice into everything you do. His message is simple but powerful: where there is humor, there is hope—and where there is laughter, there is life.

From This Point Forward: Craig Sotkovsky’s 9/11 Cancer Journey and Mission to Give Survivors a VoiceUncle Dave welcomes Craig Sotkovsky, a 9/11 World Trade Center volunteer, cancer survivor, patient advocate, and mental wellness advocate, to discuss the life-changing consequences of answering the call to serve at Ground Zero. Craig shares how exposure at the World Trade Center contributed to lung cancer, Barrett’s esophagus, GERD, PTSD, memory loss, financial devastation, divorce, and years of painful medical complications and misdiagnoses.
Rather than allowing those experiences to silence him, Craig has chosen to become a voice for the tens of thousands of responders, volunteers, survivors, veterans, and cancer patients who continue to suffer physically, emotionally, and financially. He explains his upcoming RV for Cancer journey, which will take him through approximately 25 cities to interview survivors, document their experiences, advocate for mental health, and remind people that isolation, fear, and illness do not have to become the end of their stories.
Craig and Dave also discuss resilience, heart-and-brain coherence, the importance of controlling our internal dialogue, and the power of moving forward instead of remaining trapped by the past. Craig closes with his powerful “Message to Humanity,” encouraging listeners to become courageous, relentless, aligned, instinctive, and committed to growth. His guiding mission is simple: disturb the comfortable, comfort the disturbed, and live from this point forward.

PodcastPeace, Love, and Bring a Bat
HostDavid Chametzky
GuestBrian Kurian
Entrepreneur | Premium Ghostwriter | Business Consultant | Sales Trainer | Nonprofit Leader
Episode OverviewIn this inspiring episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, David Chametzky reconnects with longtime friend and collaborator Brian Kurian for a conversation about entrepreneurship, sales, ghostwriting, personal growth, and the courage required to bet on yourself.
Brian shares how three layoffs within approximately two and a half years pushed him to stop relying on corporate security and launch his own business. What began with decades of sales experience has grown into an expanding ecosystem of ghostwriting, publishing support, business consulting, sales training, and nonprofit leadership.
This conversation is a reminder that success rarely begins with having every answer. It begins with curiosity, determination, strong values, and the willingness to say:
“I don’t know how to do that yet—but I can learn.”
From Corporate Sales to EntrepreneurshipBrian spent more than 20 years working in sales across established corporations and startup companies. His experience included:
- Cold calling and prospecting
- Booking demonstrations
- Negotiating proposals
- Closing deals
- Managing sales teams
- Reaching executive leadership roles
He eventually landed what he considered a dream position with a strong salary, supportive colleagues, and a great company culture.
Then the layoffs began.
After experiencing three layoffs from three different companies, Brian decided he was finished allowing other organizations to determine his professional future.
Four days after his third layoff, he launched his business.
“I can just do this myself.”
The Values That Built the BusinessBrian credits much of his character and professional approach to the values his parents instilled in him.
Growing up with South Indian roots, he learned the importance of:
- Family
- Honesty
- Integrity
- Accountability
- Hard work
- Keeping commitments
- Treating people properly
His father did not praise him simply for meeting expectations. Brian was encouraged to push harder, improve consistently, and demonstrate that he could deliver exceptional results repeatedly.
That lesson now shapes the way Brian runs his companies and serves clients.
The Obsession with OverdeliveringWhen David asks what makes Brian different, Brian identifies one defining trait:
He is obsessed with overdelivering.
Brian does not wait for opportunities to provide extra value. He actively searches for them.
That may mean:
- Making a valuable introduction
- Offering additional strategic guidance
- Connecting a client with a potential partner
- Improving a project beyond the original scope
- Helping someone personally as well as professionally
For Brian, great business is not about completing the minimum requirements. It is about leaving people better than he found them.
How Brian Became a GhostwriterBrian’s journey into ghostwriting began with a simple thought:
“I think I have a book in me.”
His wife suggested that his many ideas might work better as a blog. At the time, Brian did not even know what a blog was.
He researched blogging, discovered Medium, and began writing.
His first articles were not polished, and very few people read them. Rather than treating that as proof that he was not a writer, Brian decided to practice.
He began publishing several articles each week, learning through repetition and gradually improving his craft.
From there, the opportunities expanded:
- Writing blog posts
- Editing other writers’ work
- Offering free developmental feedback
- Coaching writers
- Launching a writing-coaching business
- Creating e-books and training materials
- Ghostwriting executive content
- Writing books for entrepreneurs and thought leaders
Each new opportunity began with Brian admitting that he had not done it before—and then committing to learning how.
Say Yes, Then LearnOne of the strongest lessons from Brian’s story is the value of being willing to learn in public.
When someone asked whether he offered writing coaching, he had never formally coached writers before.
He said yes, while being transparent about his experience.
When a company asked him to ghostwrite e-books, he learned how.
When clients needed blog posts written in their own voices, he studied their language, personalities, goals, and communication styles until he could represent them authentically.
Brian’s approach is not about pretending to know everything.
It is about believing:
“I may not know how to do this today, but I am capable of figuring it out.”
Practice Creates ExpertiseBrian’s success did not appear overnight.
He built his skills by getting repetitions:
- Writing daily
- Publishing consistently
- Editing other people’s work
- Requesting feedback
- Learning new services
- Studying client needs
- Improving through real-world experience
Natural ability may help, but consistency creates mastery.
You do not have to be excellent when you begin. You must be willing to begin badly, remain committed, and continue learning.
Sales, Effort, and Personal ResponsibilityBrian also reflects on his earliest sales experience at CompUSA.
As a teenager, he learned that strong performance could directly increase his income. For someone raised to value accountability and hard work, the realization was powerful.
If he learned the skills, accepted feedback, and produced results, he would be rewarded.
That experience created a lifelong connection with sales.
Brian began actively seeking constructive criticism:
- What did I do wrong?
- How can I improve?
- What could I have said differently?
- How can I make the next interaction stronger?
He was not afraid of feedback because he saw it as a tool for becoming better.
Leaving the Comfort ZoneBrian has met many intelligent and talented people who possessed money, connections, education, or natural advantages—but remained trapped because they were afraid to leave their comfort zones.
They told themselves:
- “That is not for me.”
- “I’m not smart enough.”
- “I don’t know how to do that.”
- “I should stay in my lane.”
Brian took a different approach.
He entered rooms before he felt fully ready. He took opportunities that frightened him. He accepted that he might fail and trusted himself to learn from whatever happened.
The willingness to move despite uncertainty became one of his greatest advantages.
Risking WellBrian does not advocate taking reckless chances. His story is about risking well.
Some of the most meaningful experiences of his life began with frightening decisions:
- Leaving home to attend college
- Moving to a city where he knew almost nobody
- Relocating for employment
- Moving across the country to pursue a business dream
- Launching a company days after being laid off
None of these decisions came with guaranteed success.
Brian looked at the potential opportunity, compared it with the possible pain, and decided the opportunity was worth pursuing.
Each successful risk became evidence that he could take the next one.
Your Previous Courage Becomes EvidenceWhen Brian faced a new challenge, he reminded himself of earlier moments when he had entered the unknown and survived.
He could say:
- I moved away for college and found my place.
- I relocated for work and built a new life.
- I entered unfamiliar environments and created relationships.
- I started something before knowing exactly how it would work.
The past was no longer evidence that he should be afraid.
It became proof that he could adapt.
Building a Business EcosystemToday, Brian operates and supports several ventures, including:
Brian Kurian’s Business ServicesProviding premium ghostwriting, publishing guidance, business consulting, sales strategy, and training.
Cliniko StrategiesSupporting business growth, strategic planning, and client development.
After AthleteA nonprofit organization offering professional development and life-skills training to current and former athletes navigating life beyond sports.
Brian’s goal is to build an ecosystem where entrepreneurs, thought leaders, industry experts, and athletes receive support without being repeatedly passed from one disconnected provider to another.
A Personal Reminder About HealthDuring the conversation, David shares his recent heart scare and the discovery of serious arterial blockages despite not recognizing obvious symptoms.
The experience became a major wake-up call and led him to make immediate lifestyle changes.
His message is simple: success means little if we continuously neglect our physical health. Paying attention to the body, attending appropriate medical appointments, and taking professional guidance seriously are also forms of personal responsibility.
The Magic Garden Seed 🌱Bet on yourself—and risk well.
The best opportunities may not feel comfortable. They may feel terrifying.
You do not need to know everything before you begin. You need to recognize when the potential reward is greater than the cost of remaining stuck.
Remember the risks you have already survived.
Use them as evidence.
Take the next step.

Final Words from DavidYou do not have to remain in the lane someone else chose for you.
You can learn.
You can develop the skill.
You can enter the room.
You can build the business.
You can write the book.
You can take the risk.
Bring peace and love into your life. Bring awesome thoughts, trust what you have learned, and keep swinging until you hit your sweet spot.
Peace, Love, and Bring a BatHost: David Chametzky
Guest: Jeff Bliss, Hypnosis Practitioner, Creator of PRTR, Poet, and Founder of Mindset Bliss
What happens when failure is no longer evidence that you should quit—but instead becomes the very thing that points you toward success?
In this powerful and highly practical episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, David Chametzky welcomes hypnosis practitioner and mindset specialist Jeff Bliss for a conversation about thoughts, choices, personal boundaries, emotional triggers, health, and the language we use to shape our lives.
Jeff begins the episode by sharing his original poem, “Hailure,” which combines the words hail and failure. The poem reframes failure as a gift that may sting when it hits us but can also awaken new ideas, open mental doors, and reveal paths we could not previously see.
The conversation then explores how our thoughts influence our actions and ultimately shape our outcomes. Jeff shares two memorable frameworks:
BAR: Beliefs, Actions, Results
TAO: Thoughts, Actions, Outcomes
Both remind us that change begins internally. Our thoughts create beliefs, our beliefs influence our behavior, and our behavior helps determine the results we experience.
Failure Is Not the Finish LineJeff recounts speaking with a man who described himself simply as “a failure.” He believed failed relationships, career setbacks, fitness struggles, and disappointments had become his identity.
Jeff challenges that thinking.
Failure is something that happened. It is not who you are.
Instead of treating setbacks as proof that success is impossible, we can begin asking what the experience is trying to teach us. Failure can shake loose new thoughts, create unexpected innovations, and force us to develop skills we would never have pursued while everything was comfortable.
As Jeff explains, we can learn to collect failures and rejection like someone panning for gold—sifting through what did not work until we uncover what does.
Ask a Better QuestionOne of the episode’s central lessons is that the quality of our lives is often influenced by the quality of the questions we ask.
Questions such as these tend to keep people trapped:
“Why does this always happen to me?”
“Why was I so stupid?”
“Can I really do this?”
“What if I fail?”
Jeff recommends replacing “Can I?” with “How can I?”
Instead of asking, “Can I get healthier?” ask:
“How can I make one healthier choice today?”
Instead of asking, “Can I become a speaker?” ask:
“How can I practice speaking for one minute?”
The first question invites doubt. The second instructs the mind to begin searching for solutions.
The Power of “Yet”David and Jeff discuss the enormous influence of small words.
“I can’t do it” becomes:
“I can’t do it yet.”
“I have never been good at public speaking” becomes:
“Up until now, I haven’t been confident speaking publicly.”
Jeff adds another important statement:
“And now I choose…”
“Up until now, I have feared public speaking, and now I choose to improve one percent at a time.”
This language does not deny the past. It simply stops allowing the past to control the future.
Choosing a New IdentityJeff shares his experience with cold-water exposure. After spending most of his life believing he could not tolerate the cold, he tried repeating the affirmation, “I love the cold.”
His mind rejected it immediately.
He then changed the statement to:
“I choose to love the cold.”
That small adjustment removed the internal argument. His subconscious could challenge whether he currently loved the cold, but it could not argue with his ability to choose.
David connects this idea to his recent health experience. After doctors discovered serious arterial blockages and placed a stent, David made a clear decision to change his eating habits and prioritize his health.
The lesson is not simply to hope circumstances improve. It is to make a choice, establish clear boundaries, and support that decision through consistent action.
Boundaries That Actually HoldJeff describes a practical strategy he has used to manage his weight: choosing a maximum clothing size and refusing to purchase anything larger.
The point is not the clothing itself. It is creating a boundary that is firm enough to guide behavior.
Some boundaries are like painted lines on a road. They can be crossed.
Others are like the concrete divider in the center of a highway. They are non-negotiable.
Whether the issue is health, alcohol, relationships, work, or personal habits, strong boundaries reduce the constant need to renegotiate with ourselves.
PRTR: Pain Resolving and Trigger RemappingJeff explains his proprietary approach called PRTR, or Pain Resolving and Trigger Remapping.
Painful experiences can become connected to names, songs, smells, places, memories, or situations. Even when people try to avoid the memory, the emotional response may continue operating beneath the surface.
PRTR is designed to help resolve the emotional pain associated with an experience and then remap the old trigger toward a safer or more positive internal response.
Jeff compares unresolved trauma to walking with a splinter. Every step hurts because the splinter is still present. Rather than merely learning to tolerate the pain, the goal is to remove the splinter.
David offers another image: a frightening movie feels very different when the theater lights are turned on. The movie has not changed, but the viewer’s experience of it has.
Healing does not require pretending that something never happened. It means reaching a place where the memory no longer controls the present.
What Hypnosis Really IsJeff defines hypnosis simply as:
A suggestion combined with a reception.
A movie suggests sadness, fear, excitement, or hope. When the audience accepts that suggestion and feels the emotion, a hypnotic process is already taking place.
Hypnosis does not always involve swinging watches or theatrical performances. It can happen through language, stories, memories, questions, music, and repeated beliefs.
That makes the words we use—especially the words we repeatedly say to ourselves—extremely important.
The Rule of OneJeff closes with a simple principle: Do one thing.
Too tired to exercise? Move for one minute.
Want to write a book? Write one sentence.
Need to repair your health? Make one better choice.
Want to build confidence? Take one uncomfortable but manageable step.
The goal is not to perform a complete transformation in a single day. The goal is to begin.
Lower the barrier, take the smallest possible step, celebrate the progress, and continue moving.
The Magic Garden SeedAsk a better question.
Instead of asking why life is against you, ask how you can use the experience.
Instead of wondering whether you are capable, ask what the next step would look like.
Instead of fearing failure, ask what failure may be trying to teach you.
Your thoughts influence your actions. Your actions shape your outcomes. And sometimes one better question is enough to redirect your entire life.

Final MessageFailure does not make you a failure.
Pain does not have to remain your identity.
Your past may explain some of your patterns, but it does not get to make every future decision.
Ask a better question.
Choose a stronger thought.
Take one step.
Set a real boundary.
And remember that you may not be able to do it—yet.
Bring peace and love into your life. Bring awesome thoughts. Be authentic today, keep swinging, and find your sweet spot.
Uncle Dave welcomes longtime friend Elena Rodriguez, CEO and founder of Show Your Crown Enterprises in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to discuss her businesses Besitos Beauty, the Surrender to Rise book series and events, and Prospera TV Network and the faith-driven story behind them. Elena shares losing her husband to a heart attack and stroke in 2018, then discovering financial deception and a five-year affair after his death, choosing prayer, grace, and forgiveness instead of bitterness. She explains how this led to The Christmas Widow initiative supporting newly widowed families and children, and her annual 24-hour Christmas in July livestream-a-thon built around a “Circle of Hope” (Help One Person Every Day). They talk about respecting platforms, sharing messages with integrity, and Elena’s guiding lesson: stop wasting time asking questions you’ll never get answers to and move forward with purpose.

In this deeply moving and spiritually rich episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, David Chametzky welcomes Dr. Rani Thanacoody, a visionary entrepreneur and holistic wellness practitioner joining from the UK. What unfolds is a powerful conversation about childhood trauma, emotional wounds, self-healing, and the lifelong journey of rediscovering one’s true self.
Dr. Rani shares her personal story—from growing up in Mauritius, experiencing early loss and abuse, to living with unresolved trauma that followed her across continents and careers. Through faith, self-inquiry, and transformational healing modalities, she broke lifelong patterns and reclaimed her voice, health, and sense of belonging.
This episode is not just a conversation—it’s an invitation to look inward.
Key Themes & Takeaways🌍 Roots, Loss & the Wounded Child* Dr. Rani grew up in Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean between Africa and Australia. * At just four years old, she lost her grandmother—the one person who truly understood her emotions. * The absence of emotional support during grief became the foundation of long-term trauma.
“Trauma is not just what happens to us—it’s the emotions that stay trapped inside.”
💔 Trauma, Bullying & Repeating Patterns* Childhood physical abuse and bullying created deep feelings of fear, abandonment, and invisibility. * As an adult, these unhealed wounds manifested as repeated workplace bullying and emotional isolation. * Moving jobs and countries didn’t solve the issue—until she looked within.
🔍 The Turning Point: Awareness & ResponsibilityAfter multiple painful experiences, Dr. Rani recognized a pattern and asked a crucial question:
“Why does this keep happening to me?”
This moment of awareness led her to stop searching externally for answers and begin internal healing.
🧠 Hypnotherapy & Healing the Root Cause* During the pandemic, Dr. Rani trained in clinical hypnotherapy, a modality that changed her life. * Hypnotherapy helped her uncover and reprogram subconscious beliefs formed in early childhood. * Chronic conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) resolved as emotional trauma was released.
“The healer is within us. I don’t heal my clients—I guide them to heal themselves.”
🧘♀️ Tools for Healing: What Helped Dr. RaniDr. Rani shares practical resources that supported her healing journey:
- Daily affirmations (inspired by Joel Osteen and Louise Hay)
- Mirror work and self-dialogue
- Prayer and faith-based reflection
- Hypnotherapy & NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
- Breathwork and energetic protection
She emphasizes consistency and self-love as essential foundations.
🌱 Self-Investment & Reparenting the Inner Child* Healing requires investing in yourself—time, energy, and compassion. * As adults, we must reparent the wounded child within us. * Approval, love, and safety must come from the self—not others.
“You live with yourself 24/7. Learn to listen to your heart.”
✨ Spiritual Wisdom & Inner TruthDr. Rani reflects on teachings from Rumi and The Alchemist:
“The treasure you are seeking is within you.”
Healing is not about becoming someone new—it’s about remembering who you already are.
The Magic Garden Seed 🌱Begin each day with gratitude.
Before getting out of bed, say “I am grateful”—for your breath, your body, your life.
Gratitude softens anxiety, opens the heart, and reconnects you with your inner strength.
“If I can do it, you can do it—just be consistent.”

In this insightful and empowering episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, David Chametzky sits down with Kelly Resendez for a wide-ranging conversation about women’s empowerment, conscious leadership, abundance, and what it truly means to “have it all” without burnout.
Kelly shares her journey from growing up in a small town in Northern California to helping scale GoodLeap into a multi-billion-dollar company, all while raising two children, nurturing deep relationships, and co-founding a global women’s leadership community. This episode goes beyond motivation—it offers a blueprint for redefining success in a world that desperately needs new leadership models.
Key Themes & Takeaways🌍 Redefining Leadership for a New Era Leadership must evolve beyond dominance, productivity, and sacrifice. * The future of leadership blends feminine and masculine energy—presence, intuition, empathy, and decisiveness. * This shift benefits everyone*, not just women.
“We need world-positive leaders who lead from abundance, not depletion.”
👩💼 Women, Power & Permission* Women make up ~50% of the workforce but remain underrepresented in executive and board roles. * The issue is not capability—it’s systems, expectations, and self-permission. * True empowerment includes:

In this deeply honest and spiritually grounded episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, David Chametzky welcomes Samantha Wendt for a conversation that goes far beyond food and dieting.
Together, they explore generational food trauma, mindful eating, and how emotional, spiritual, and physical healing must work together if we want lasting health. Samantha shares her personal journey—from sugar addiction, chronic health struggles, and infertility, to holistic healing, motherhood, and helping others reclaim their bodies the way God designed them to function.
This episode isn’t about quick fixes.
It’s about restoration, awareness, and stewardship of the body.
Key Themes & Takeaways🍬 Generational Food Trauma* Food behaviors are often inherited, not chosen. * “Clean Plate Club,” emotional eating, and yo-yo dieting frequently stem from:
+ Scarcity passed down from wartime generations
+ Family survival beliefs around food
+ Unprocessed emotional trauma
- Samantha explains how sugar addiction can be a learned coping mechanism passed from parent to child.
“We were taught to bottle emotions and eat sugar. That’s how trauma traveled through generations.”
🧠 Emotional Eating vs. True Hunger* One of the first steps toward healing is asking:
+ *Am I actually hungry—or am I trying to soothe an emotion?*
- Comfort foods can temporarily numb pain but often deepen physical and emotional imbalance over time.
🧘 Mindful Eating as a Healing PracticeSamantha reframes mindfulness as a biological necessity, not a trend.
Key practices include:
- Slowing down while eating
- Chewing food thoroughly to activate digestion
- Eliminating distractions like phones and scrolling
- Engaging all five senses while eating
Mindful eating helps the body recognize fullness and safety again.
🍽️ Letting Go of “Clean Plate” Conditioning* Many adults still feel compelled to finish every bite—even when full. * Samantha and David unpack how childhood rules around food no longer serve adult bodies.
“It’s okay to leave food. Health matters more than an empty plate.”
💧 Hydration & Cellular Health* Many hunger cues are actually dehydration. * Drinking water before eating helps distinguish hunger from thirst. * Samantha explains how electrolytes (like Celtic sea salt) can help water absorb into cells instead of flushing straight through the body.
🧬 Whole-Body Healing (Not Just Dieting)Samantha’s approach addresses:
- Physical symptoms
- Emotional patterns
- Spiritual alignment
Her work includes:
- Facial and reflexive analysis
- Mind-body assessment tools
- Chronic inflammation reset programs
- Addressing emotional and belief-based patterns around food
“The body knows how to heal—we just have to stop blocking it.”
🙏 Faith, Healing, and the Body as a Temple* Samantha emphasizes that the body is not broken—it is sacred. * Healing begins when we align with God’s design rather than fighting our bodies.
“Even broken pieces are what God uses to shape us.”
🧩 Managing Tough Days & Relapse Moments* Tough days are inevitable—preparation matters more than perfection. * Samantha encourages:
+ Accountability partners
+ Reset rituals (breathing, prayer, reminders)
+ Compassion over shame
“What we need isn’t inside the refrigerator—it’s inside us.”
The Magic Garden Seed 🌱Trust your body. Slow down. Listen.
Healing begins when awareness replaces autopilot and love replaces punishment.

Final Words from DavidHealth isn’t about force—it’s about alignment.
When we bring awareness, faith, and compassion into our choices, the body responds.
Bring peace.
Choose love.
And when it’s time to bring the bat—bring truth, boundaries, and authenticity.
In this deeply honest and transformative episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, David Chametzky welcomes Tiffany Sims for a raw, real, and soul-level conversation about identity, self-worth, intuition, and the healing power of learning to trust yourself again.
What begins as a discussion about food, health, and exercise evolves into a powerful exploration of how emotional survival patterns, people-pleasing, unspoken boundaries, and self-abandonment shape our lives—and how healing those patterns unlocks freedom far beyond the scale.
This episode is not about diets.
It’s about coming home to yourself.
Key Themes & Takeaways🧭 Identity Beyond TitlesTiffany challenges the idea that we are our roles—job titles, relationship labels, or achievements.
“Who are you when you take the title away?”
Listeners are invited to reflect on:
- Who they are on their best days
- What lights them up when no one is watching
- What values guide their decisions
When identity becomes clear, choices become simple.
💔 Self-Worth, Trauma & Invisible Survival PatternsTiffany shares her experience as a survivor of domestic abuse—not defined by visible violence alone, but by emotional, mental, and verbal erosion that went unnoticed for years.
This moment reframes strength:
- Being “strong” doesn’t mean enduring mistreatment
- Survival skills can become cages if never examined
- Ignoring intuition often begins as a way to keep peace
“I didn’t know how to hold a boundary—I only knew how to survive.”
🧠 Intuition as a Healing CompassA recurring thread throughout the episode is learning to trust the body—especially the quiet signals we’re taught to ignore.
Tiffany connects intuition to:
- Leaving unsafe relationships
- Ending chronic dieting
- Releasing foods that no longer serve her
- Redefining movement, health, and success
“My body always knew. I just wasn’t listening.”
🍽️ Intuitive Eating vs. Diet CultureThis episode dismantles the idea that health comes from restriction or punishment.
Key shifts Tiffany describes:
- Hunger ≠ failure
- Food ≠ morality
- Health ≠ shrinking
True wellness comes from listening—not controlling.
⏸️ The Power of the PauseBoth David and Tiffany emphasize the pause as a life-changing practice:
- Pausing before reacting
- Pausing before self-judgment
- Pausing to ask: “What’s the next right choice for me?”
This pause is how patterns break.
❤️ Love vs. Hate: A Crucial ReframeOne of the most profound moments of the episode reframes motivation:
“You can’t create something beautiful out of hate.”
Hate is not the opposite of love—it’s the absence of love.
Lasting change happens only when choices are made from self-love, not self-punishment.
The Magic Garden Seed 🌱You don’t need to hate where you are to change.
You need to love yourself enough to take the next step.
Every transformation—physical, emotional, or spiritual—happens one step at a time.

Final Words from DavidThis episode isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about remembering who you are.
Bring peace.
Choose love.
Honor your intuition.
And when life calls for it—bring the bat, protect your boundaries, and swing with purpose.
In this powerful and energizing episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, Uncle Dave sits down with Bogdan Roșu—a modern “warrior shaman” whose work blends mindset, intuition, martial arts philosophy, and business strategy.
Bogdan shares how true success is never built on strategy alone. Without confidence, self-worth, and identity alignment, even the best business plans collapse. This episode dives deep into identity shifting, intuition, leadership, and how to collapse time between where you are now and where you want to be.
This conversation bridges the spiritual and the practical—showing how inner strength fuels outer results.
Key Themes & Takeaways⚔️ The Warrior–Shaman Philosophy Bogdan’s background in martial arts taught him the balance of yin and yang—inner work and outer action. * Business strategy without mindset creates paralysis. * Mindset without strategy creates confusion. * Sustainable success requires both*.
🧠 Identity Shifting & Confidence* Growth happens when you become the person who can handle the next level, not when you wait to “earn” it. * Confidence is the horse—strategy is the cart. * If you don’t believe in yourself, no amount of resources will save the idea.
💰 Even High Performers Struggle with Fear* Bogdan shares working with a client generating over $100M annually who was still afraid to grow. * Fear doesn’t disappear with money—it changes form. * The work at every level is the same: expand identity.
🔥 Energy Work for the “Badass Business Owner”Bogdan leads a guided exercise helping listeners:
- Step into their future self
- Feel confidence in the body
- Access calm, certainty, and leadership energy now
- Act from identity instead of fear
This isn’t visualization for “someday”—it’s embodiment for today.
Leadership RedefinedTrue leadership is not:
- Being the loudest voice
- Knowing everything
- Forcing people to follow
True leadership is:
- Listening deeply
- Creating psychological safety
- Helping others move closer to their vision
- Knowing when to act—and when to step back
“Every coach needs a coach. Every shaman needs a shaman.”
Intuition as a Strategic Tool* Bogdan emphasizes intuition as a muscle—not a mystery. * Many people trust intuition in one area of life but ignore it elsewhere. * When you learn to listen consistently, intuition guides you to unexpected beauty, alignment, and opportunity.
Bogdan shares a story of intuitively exploring the mountains near his home—leading to a place of breathtaking beauty he would’ve missed by over-planning.
Memorable Quotes* “You’re stronger than you know.” * “Confidence is the horse—strategy is the cart.” * “You don’t need to work harder; you need to become someone different.” * “Leadership starts with listening.” * “Trust your intuition—it already knows the way.”
The Magic Garden Seed 🌱You are stronger than you think—and more capable than you’ve been told.
Bring your future self into the present.
Trust your intuition.
Act from identity, not fear.

Final Words from Uncle DaveThis episode reminds us that growth is not about doing more—it’s about becoming more.

Lead with love.
Trust your intuition.
And when you bring a bat—swing from identity and hit your sweet spot. 🟢⚔️✨
In this powerful and purpose-driven episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, Uncle Dave sits down with nonprofit powerhouse Vanessa Lindsey to talk about what it really takes to start, build, and sustain a nonprofit organization.
Vanessa brings nearly four decades of lived experience as a nonprofit founder—sharing the unseen struggles, sacrifices, and triumphs that come with answering a calling bigger than yourself. From teen motherhood to building a long-standing behavioral health organization, Vanessa’s story is one of resilience, faith, and unwavering service.
This episode shines a light on the unsung heroes of our communities: nonprofit founders.
Key Themes & Takeaways🌱 From Purpose to Nonprofit* Vanessa founded her first nonprofit at just 21 years old after becoming a teen mother and seeing firsthand the lack of resources available. * What began as a program for teen mothers evolved into a long-standing behavioral health organization offering drug and alcohol counseling and youth support. * Her work was never about recognition—it was about answering a promise and fulfilling a purpose.
💔 The Hidden Cost of Nonprofit Leadership Nonprofit founders often operate behind the scenes, carrying emotional, financial, and spiritual burdens with little recognition. * Sleepless nights, personal financial sacrifice, and constant stress are common—but rarely discussed. * Vanessa emphasizes the importance of creating safe spaces* for founders to be supported, not just supporters.
🤝 Collaboration Over Competition* Vanessa speaks candidly about the territorial nature of the nonprofit world—and why it must change. * No single organization can serve everyone; collaboration multiplies impact. * Partnering with other nonprofits allows for shared resources, stronger grants, and better outcomes for communities.
💰 Fearless Fundraising & Grant Writing* Vanessa demystifies grant writing and fundraising, sharing her early journey from not knowing what a grant was to ranking #2 in the state on a major application. * Fundraising isn’t about begging—it’s about alignment, storytelling, and meeting real community needs. * Diversifying funding and leveraging partnerships is essential for sustainability.
🧠 Trauma, Self-Care, and Founder Burnout Many nonprofits are born from personal trauma—but founders often accumulate secondary trauma* along the way. * Vanessa stresses that founders must learn to care for themselves as much as they care for their mission. * Healing, rest, and joy are not luxuries—they are necessities.
✨ Faith, Love, and Perspective* Vanessa shares a deeply personal insight: seeing herself as a vessel for love and purpose each day. * When founders lead with love—rather than fear or ego—their work becomes sustainable and transformational. * Loving yourself first allows you to truly serve others.

In this inspiring and energizing episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, Uncle Dave sits down with Mike Brennan to explore creativity as a way of living—not just something reserved for artists.
Mike breaks down what it really means to make fun a habit, how creativity shows up far beyond drawing or painting, and why curiosity, play, and presence are essential tools for mental wellness, problem-solving, and personal growth.
This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in routine, burned out by “efficiency,” or disconnected from joy—and wants practical ways to reconnect with themselves through creativity.
Key Themes & Takeaways🎨 Creativity Is Not a Talent—It’s a Way of Being* Mike reframes creativity as problem-solving, curiosity, and expression, not just artistic skill. * Everyone is a creator—whether through business, organization, storytelling, leadership, or innovation. * Creativity doesn’t have to look “artistic” to be valid.
🧠 Presence Unlocks Possibility Mike shares how live event sketching grew out of simply being present in the moment. * Creativity thrives when we slow down and pay attention to what’s happening right now*. * Being present allows us to capture meaning in the midst of noise and busyness.
🔁 From Burnout to Breakthrough* Mike opens up about stepping away from creative work for nearly a decade—and how suppressing creativity contributed to depression. * Reconnecting with creativity wasn’t about career—it was about identity and well-being. * Creativity became a lifeline, not a luxury.
⏱ The Power of Small, Consistent Action* A daily 10–15 minute creative habit led to massive long-term change. * Consistency matters more than intensity. * Showing up imperfectly every day builds momentum and self-trust.
🕹 Play Is Not a Reward—It’s a Process Fun doesn’t belong only at the end of work—it belongs inside* the work. * Introducing play lowers pressure and opens access to deeper insight and innovation. * Curiosity is often the doorway to breakthroughs we weren’t actively searching for.
🔄 Change Agents for CreativityMike shares practical ways to reset when creativity or motivation stalls:
- Try a new tool (even a “bad” one)
- Change your route home
- Break routine intentionally
- Allow yourself to experiment without needing results
Failure, in this context, is information—not defeat.
About Make Fun a HabitMike’s book, Make Fun a Habit, is a practical, encouraging guide designed to:
- Help people reconnect with joy
- Shift mindset around work and creativity
- Introduce simple, daily actions that build momentum
- Replace burnout with curiosity and engagement
Each chapter offers stories, reflections, and actionable prompts to help readers bring fun back into everyday life.
Memorable Quotes* “Creativity isn’t just artistic—it’s how you solve problems.” * “Fun doesn’t have to wait until the work is done.” * “When pressure is removed, insight appears.” * “Consistency beats inspiration.” * “You don’t need more time—you need intention.”

In this raw, courageous, and deeply human episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, Uncle Dave sits down with Doug Ferrer to talk openly about men’s mental health, grief, addiction, loss, and the quiet battles men often fight alone.
Doug shares his powerful life journey—from losing his father at age 12, to years of substance abuse and emotional avoidance, to standing on the edge of a roof in his darkest moment, and ultimately choosing to step back and rebuild his life with intention.
This is not a surface-level conversation. It’s about what happens after the smile, after the success, and after the pain—when a man decides to stay, heal, and become the anchor he never had.
Key Themes & Takeaways🧠 Men’s Mental Wellness & the Cost of Silence* Doug speaks honestly about how men are conditioned to suppress pain instead of processing it. * Losing his father at 12 created an emotional wound that went unaddressed for decades. * Without positive male role models, Doug turned to drugs and alcohol as a way to escape pain.
💔 Trauma Doesn’t Disappear—It Waits* Avoidance didn’t erase the pain; it redirected it into relationships, addiction, and self-sabotage. * Doug explains how unresolved grief quietly shaped his choices well into adulthood.
🏠 The Edge Moment* Doug shares the moment he stood on the edge of a roof, overwhelmed by failed relationships and emotional exhaustion. * What stopped him wasn’t fear—it was remembering the pain of losing his father and refusing to pass that pain onto his children. * Suicide doesn’t end pain—it multiplies it.
🔥 Cutting Off the Old Self Doug describes how part of him did* die that day—but not through suicide. * He consciously let go of the version of himself that was driven by avoidance, addiction, and self-destruction.
🧰 Rebuilding Through Awareness & RoutineDoug didn’t “snap out of it”—he rebuilt intentionally:
- Eliminating toxic inputs (substances, negative habits, reactive behaviors)
- Developing daily routines that support mental clarity
- Learning to respond instead of react
- Creating space to check in with himself regularly
🛑 You Don’t Need to React to Everything* Doug emphasizes a powerful principle: not everything deserves a response. * Triggers lose power when you recognize them instead of engaging them. * Peace is often found in walking away—not winning.
🤝 Brotherhood & Meeting People Where They Are Doug stresses the importance of meeting people where they are*, not where we think they “should” be. * Real support doesn’t lecture—it listens. * Men need spaces where honesty is safe and vulnerability isn’t weakness.
Memorable Quotes* “Suicide doesn’t stop the pain—it multiplies it and passes it on.” * “I lost my first superhero at 12 years old.” * “A bad moment is not a bad life.” * “Happiness is an inside job.” * “Not everything—or everyone—deserves a response.”
Doug’s Two Core Gems 💎1️⃣ Smile—On PurposeYour body and brain respond to simple physical cues. A smile can shift your internal state and create momentum toward healing.
2️⃣ Silence Is PowerYou don’t have to react to every comment, criticism, or trigger. Walking away is not weakness—it’s wisdom.
Who This Episode Is For Men carrying grief they’ve never spoken about * Anyone struggling with addiction, anger, or emotional numbness * Fathers who want to break generational cycles * People who feel like they’re “fine” on the outside but falling apart inside * Anyone who needs to hear: you’re not broken—you’re human*

In this deeply honest and reflective episode of Peace, Love, and Bring a Bat, Uncle Dave sits down with bestselling author and storytelling guide Carrie KC West to explore how our lives are shaped by the stories we tell ourselves—and how rewriting those stories can lead to healing, freedom, and fulfillment.
Carrie shares her journey through trauma, loss, forgiveness, and self-discovery, explaining how narrative therapy, storytelling, and conscious reflection helped her transform pain into purpose. This episode dives into accountability, emotional truth, family dynamics, forgiveness, and how becoming the author of your own life can unlock lasting peace.
Key Themes & Takeaways✍️ Life as a Story Carrie introduces the idea that our lives function like stories, with characters, villains, heroes, plot twists, and themes. * When we recognize ourselves as the protagonist, we regain agency over our future. * Seeing antagonists as characters*—not life sentences—loosens emotional grip and resentment.
🧠 Narrative Therapy & Healing* Carrie blends psychology and storytelling to help people reorganize their experiences in healthier ways. * Shifting perspective can reduce emotional attachment to trauma without denying the pain. * Rewriting your story does not erase the past—it reframes it.
💔 Forgiveness as Freedom* Forgiveness is not approval; it’s release. * Holding onto blame keeps us trapped in a prison of our own making. * True forgiveness allows us to stop recreating old wounds in new relationships.
🔄 Accountability Without Shame* Carrie emphasizes the importance of owning your mistakes without self-loathing. * Healing deepens when we acknowledge how our own actions affected others. * Accountability builds intimacy, trust, and emotional freedom.
🧩 Identity, Belonging & Inherited Beliefs* Many of our beliefs are inherited—not chosen. * “Shoulds” are often signs of someone else’s story running our life. * Questioning old scripts is the first step toward authenticity.
🎬 Becoming the Lead Character Carrie asks a powerful question: Who would play you in the movie of your life?* * Many people discover they’ve been playing background roles in their own story. * Growth begins when you choose to step into the lead.
Memorable Quotes* “Forgiveness sets you free—it doesn’t excuse what happened.” * “Should is always someone else’s story.” * “I didn’t want my ending to be ‘life sucks and then you die.’” * “We aren’t human doings—we’re human beings.” * “You can’t rewrite the story if you won’t read it honestly.”
Carrie’s Core MessageFear of the unknown keeps people stuck—but growth lives on the other side of discomfort.
You are allowed to question your story.
You are allowed to change the ending.
You are allowed to become someone new.
The Magic Garden Seed 🌱Fear is not a stop sign—it’s an invitation.
You will survive change.
You will grow through it.
And the story you’re afraid to rewrite is often the one that sets you free.

Uncle Dave takes his shoes and and plants himself, figuratively, in the studio to interview Jangee Westphal for this enlightening episode. Jane, on the other hand, LITERALLY has a mission to heal the divide between humanity and nature by planting human beings into the ground, to “become” a tree for a short celebration, and then complete the process by planting a tree in the same hole. You don't want to miss this one, folks.

Today's special guest, Lily Woo, discovered that she had Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease in early 2018 and was placed on the transplant list at Weill Cornell Medical Center in September 2018. In the summer of 2020, she became extremely ill, spending five months in the hospital. Unfortunately, her situation has gotten progressively worse, and now she has Stage 5 End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Until recently, she thought she had found the perfect living donor - a young friend with a matching blood type who was unselfishly willing to donate one of her kidneys to Lily. After she underwent her donor medical evaluation, they found that one of her kidneys was smaller and weaker than the other and although she felt perfectly healthy and wanted to help Lily the doctors could not chance taking a kidney from her. Uncle Dave sits down with Lily today to talk about her journey. If you have it in your heart, please visit the link below to support Lily and spread the word to help find a potential donor. Thank you in advance for your help.
DISCLAIMER: There was an audio issue during the recording and although we did our best to correct it, the audio is distorted. Please listen through regardless as this is a story you need to hear. Thank you again.

Uncle Dave may not be a samurai nor is he a surfer, but today he gets to interview both as he sits down with Dylan Hronec - an adaptive surfer from New York nicknamed the "Surfing Samurai" - who helps expose others to his sport through the non-profit Surf for All. The boys dive into a peace and love fest, but make no mistake that Dylan brings a bat for what he stands up for in his community. Let's start the show!

Suit up. Show up. Move the ball. That's the theme today as Uncle Dave sits down with Jennifer Garrett, branding architect, business consultant, executive coach, speaker and podcast host. Jennifer and Dave have a great, inspiring conversation and go into Jenner's books, "Dominate the Game" and "Move the Ball," in detail while making sure that they swing away to knock this one out of the park. There's an "R" in our hearts today and that "R" stands for Run like a champion because that's what you'll be doing after you listen. Enjoy!

Megan says, "yoga is such powerful tool that helps you on all levels: mental, physical, emotional and spiritual. The amazing thing is that it does all of this incredible work simultaneously," and we find out how during this downward dog of an episode (see what we did there?) Bring your bats and your yoga mats.

Here's a storm of "R" words that Uncle Dave is sure to enjoy: our guest this week Robyn (R-Word) Mussler talks about how it's time to Re-Set, Re-Align and Re-Ignite (Unlce Dave's head is spinning) with the intentions of peace and love in her heart. Join this conversation as Robyn discusses how to connect the dots to success. It's always a hell of a conversation when you can talk about Shark Tank and bringing a bat in the same sentence.

Beyond Homo Sapien may be the name our guest, Paul Togozoglu's podcast, but the meaning of the term "homo sapien" in Latin translates to "wise man." A fitting definition for Uncle Dave's guest this week. The boys chop it up in our newest episode, talk about all things growth related and, surprise, surprise...they talk at length about the concept of a Phoenix and the Phoenix Rise (one of Uncle Dave's favorite "R" words). If you know, you know. Break out the bats, boys and girls...we're going yard on this episode.

For all of you 5 sense underachievers out there, get ready for the man with the 6th sense! We're joking about the underachiever part but not about the 6th sense.

While Uncle Dave is worried about how to get his bats past TSA for his next speaking event, today's guest is worried about teaching YOU how to get that "Vertical Momentum" started and how to ride that wave to the top. Richard Kaufman joins Uncle Dave today during his free time, of which there's not too much since he's a podcast host, speaker, author, producer and veteran. The boys chop it up for the audience during this super fun conversation. In the end, the bats were swinging, friends.

It's finally happening...Cluberty meets Klubeck. Grab a drink and a couple of Klubey snacks because Uncle Dave is about to play The Integrity Game with the author of the book himself, Jeff Klubeck. This is one of our favorite conversations ever and the boys cover A LOT. Jeff offers a ton of gems (or plants some seeds as Uncle Dave would say) and by the end of the episode, you'll find your sweet spot.

Imagine the ability to heal using the most powerful tools you've never heard of before. Ericksonian Hypnosis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Havening anyone? Our guest today, Doug O'Brien, is internationally recognized as an expert in all of these tools. Such much so that he's even worked with Dr. Oz (yes THAT Dr. Oz) to help create the Department of Complimentary Medicine at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City and he served as a “Master Trainer” in Tony Robbins’s organization, teaching others to become coaches. Now as a peak-performance coach Doug chat with Uncle Dave about how he helps everyone from rodeo bull riders to Manhattan CEOs to Broadway actors overcome adversity and maximize potential.

Uncle Dave takes another big swing on episode 202 of Peace Love and Bring a Bat with the amazing Neal Conlon. Neal and Dave chop it up about everything from the real definition of being a "warrior" to confidence to cyber-security. Neal even teaches our host about the dark web and boy was it dark in there (insert rim shot). We have some fun on this one but, most importantly, we learned some valuable lessons. Join the conversation and sound off!

Season 1 is a wrap. We made it through 50 episodes. Uncle Dave learned a lot in the 9 months this baby took to come around. Life is a journey and as we discuss in this episode it really is a circle just like Harry Chapin sung to us. While there are no stright lines in life we always see around the bend for the light of Peace and Love. While we replace the Negatives (stomp out the red) with whatever color (Blue/Teal in my case) we need to remember that the seasons will keep spinning as the daybreaks come around.
I want to thank so many people who have made this seaons a possibility - some who stayed and others who just were around for the a part of the season. Love never ends for you all - knock down the walls and see the magic come in.
Today we have an amazing episode with as one of his clients calls him "Merlin" because of his special bag of tricks and his ability to be a Trauma Removal Magician. Ray has assisted hundreds of Veterans to work through their readjustment back into society after they have experienced PTSD.
While talking to Ray about being on the show, one of his clients "lee" asked if he could come on to talk about the "magic" he had recieved from Ray. Hearing first hand of the healing that was received and knowledge that using the right resources will really help anyone who has experienced any layer of trauma.

Todays episode is a great conversation with Bradford Scott Walton who is by his own definition a Spiritual Masochist - one who finds pleasure in digging through his spiritual life to deal with the hard things to make them all feel better.
We all do this in many different ways when we think about it because all the pain leads to the growth we seek. In our discussions we will talk about the balance we all will find with both our Feminine and Masculine sides of our personality.

Life is about managing multiple things but also knowing when to take a break for our mental health and self care. This episode is all about Uncle Dave acknowledging the missing weeks this past month and apologizing to YOU the tribe who reached out to check on him and to those who did not. Life is good and we never know how or what the universe has in store for us.

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT EPISODE YOU WILL EVER NEED TO ENGAGE WITH!
//www.cprfriendly.org
No this is not hyperbole but listening to this episode can definitely save either your life or someone you know.
Do you have 15 seconds to refresh your knowledge of CPR then check out this weeks guests website. Yes I am putting the link at the top because it is that important.
https://www.cprfriendly.org
Our guests this week are Ian Hutchinson (‘Hutch’) and Don Mackee. Hear their story about how, Ian who as a fit and healthy 50 something was clinically dead for 19 minutes and was saved by his friend Don while on their morning bike ride.
In September 2018, while bike riding with his mate Don MacKee, he had a sudden cardiac arrest. Cardiac Arrest is an electrical issue and can usually go undetected until the electrical impulse to the heart doesn't charge. Thanks to some quick thinking by Don and some good samaritan CPR bystanders, help was called, CPR commenced and Hutch became one of the lucky 9% to survive an out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest.
We will have some fun during this episode but in no way do I want to make it seem like this is not an important subject. GET IN THE KNOW!
CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE -//www.cprfriendly.org it can save a life.

Today's guest has become family to me. Tony Dean is a man who is ALL heart and that heart is SO MUCH LARGER than his 5'5 frame. Tony and his co-founder of Cans 4 Cancer Robert Schwendel sat knowing they had to do something when cancer struck someone close to them. So instead of sitting back they jumped into action creating Cans 4 Cancer. Each of us has been touched by different people in our lives affected with this horrible disease and inspired by the beautiful stories of survival.
Cans for Cancer is a non profit organization collecting cans, bottles and donations one at a time to raise awareness for breast cancer. Each can, bottle and donation collected supports and unites young women with breast cancer.
One of Tony's favorite quotes is from his friend who he honors every day - "Make your mark, inspire change and leave your legacy."
This episode is dedicated to the millions who have died from this horrible disease but especially the angels Kristen Martinez and Kayla Falcon. I dedicate this episode and mention them because they are the reason why Tony began his ride and along that journey he met me and changed my life.

Havening has allowed me to meet and get to know some amazing people. Today's episode is another person whom I believe belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Havening. Harry Pickens is not only a mountain of a man but someone who you need to look up to and it has nothing to do with his physical size.

He holds practitioner and trainer certifications in EFT and Spiritual Technology and also earned a Certificate In Applied Positive Psychology from the Flourishing Center. Mr. Pickens was the first in the world to receive the Pro EFT™ Master Practitioner certification, the highest available in the field.

This week I am dropping several episodes in advance of the Annual Havening Conference - Canvas of Love which I will be speaking at. In preparation of the conference I thought who would be the people I would put on the Mount Rushmore of Havening - For me it would have to start with the Father of Havening - DR. RON RUDEN.
Dr. Ronald Ruden is a world-renown physician who came up with the idea of Havening which is a pyscho-sensory touch technique. Along with his brother Dr. Steven Ruden as well as othersthey researched and brought this amazing life changing technique to the change the world. The techniques are based in evolutionary biology and offer you the opportunity to live a healthier, hopefully happier and more productive life through engaging your mind body and soul to work together for your own healing.
Ron will share with us what is Havening and how he has built this healing community.
Come listen to Dr. Ruden talk about his passion for assisting others through various medical challenges and the upcoming conference which Uncle Dave will be one of the presenters.
To learn more about Havening check out the website and if you decide to join in on the conference who will have extraordinary speakers like Dr. Gabor Mate and Dr. Daniel Amen.

Today's guest is Denise Gruzensky who is a very special person who tells us about her story of love from the point of view of her dog Harley. Through the book we learn important life lessons. In "Not Like the Others", Harley is a rescued Yorkshire terrier learning the meaning of a forever family and unconditional love.
Denise tells us how we should be observant in all aspects of our life and all the amazing things that happens to us when we do.
How do you talk to your child about their newly diagnosed illness? How do you tell your child their pet has an illness like diabetes? What can you do to explain that they will be loved unconditionally regardless of health issues? The answer is "Harley's Story".

This week's guest is Domenic Certa who is the master of Life Plan 2.0 and the creator of the Self Achievement Network which has over 3,000 members world-wide. We gather today to discuss some of our random thoughts and how they get organized so that you can see the big picture of your life. Then you organize it. Then you create it. It's brilliant actually. Every area of your life that needs attention, gets attention. Together we talk about IKTA (I know That Already) disease and how we can learn more by experiencing the Phoenix moments than we do by staying on the straight and narrow path.

There are people who you are destined to meet and Richard is one of those people when you meet him you instantly connect with. Richard and I met almost 4 years ago at the World Premier of the WISHMAN movie. We talked and found out we had so many things in common.
Richard operates CEO DOJO in San Diego which makes sure we learn the life skills to handle a tough boardroom or knowing the violence of the streets as he grew up in Brooklyn. Today's episode talks about how each of us needs to follow Richard's tag line "BU4U". There are times in business or in our personal lives we move away from the basic formulas that work and today's conversation will help refocus on the respect we receive and that which we offer to take things to the next level.

Imagine being age thirty-six and losing your sight within two weeks due to a rare genetic disorder known as Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy. This is exactly what happened to today's guest Kevin Coughlin. Then imagine twenty years later, without medical intervention, Kevin's sight miraculously started to return. He is the only known person in the world who has experienced a spontaneous, non-medically assisted, regeneration of the optic nerve. We will follow some of Kevin's descent into darkness, and how his affirmations and belief lead him back through his unexplained reemergence to sight.

As baseball season begins I want to have some conversations about our “National Pastime” does more for us by the players and teams who participate in the game.
Imagine being a rookie on the team that is expected to win the World Series and even being in the music video “Let’s Go Met’s Go!” He juggled his way into our hearts as the glasses wearing back-up catcher on the eventual 1986 World Champion New York Mets. That next spring, he was traded (notice the Mets have not won a World Series since – Curse of Ed Hearn ???) to the Kansas City Royals who had an impressive starting pitching staff. All seemed to be Amazing and then the world crashed. Injuries and life threatening health issues allowed Mr. Hearn to gain another perspective.
Ed Hearn shares his message that we all need to “Conquer Life’s Curves” and just Keep on Swinging. We talk about life, dropping some seeds of knowledge that he has gained outside of the diamond and how when we show up magic happens. We might even talk about the heart of a warrior and advice he received from Dan Quizenberry.
Anyone can count the seeds in one apple, but you can’t apples in one seed” – Ed Hearn

Being part of a team was a lesson today’s guest learned early on from his family and through life experiences. Baseball and sports have been important but knowing that is only a part of what brings us all together. Jake learned the value of people showing up in life and how communities pull together during the most trying times. Learning how to experience the highs and lows of life has created Jake to be a forward thinking and leader in his community. Being an athlete is something Jake has done but participating in the growth of others and charitable endeavors is who he is.

This world is sometimes a very small place where you might be able to connect with people whom you would never have connected with before. Today's guest Wanje Ivan is a man who connected with me and became an Angel in my life.
Wanje runs a NGO whose mission is to reduce the number of children dropping out of school in his community and in Uganda. He does this by creating a safe space where he can nurture and develop the talents in performance and creative arts of the local children.
Every child matters and deserves the best opportunities in life. Two-thirds of children in Uganda drop out of school before completing their primary education. 67% of children living in Kampala slums do not attend school. Out of the 91% children that enroll for primary school, 53% complete primary and only 34% complete secondary school education Wanje and his organization is making a difference in the world

“Finding a Place You Never Have to Say Sorry” is the wish of many parents of special needs children. Dina Kimmel knew that feeling all too well, and as the parent of a son diagnosed with autism she knew that she needed to find a solution. That solution started first in her home with her husband and her remodeling the their home. Eventually it became the “home away from home” which became a respite for “her kiddos”, caregivers who wanted to “Play with a Purpose” and find a safe place where EVERYONE could be included in the fun times – We Rock the Spectrum Gyms was born! We Rock the Spectrum Gyms are now worldwide with over 100 locations in 8 countries for “People of Determination” who just want to have some fun. During this year of the pandemic, Dina and her team of heroes lead the way in their communities to bring a level of stability to lives.

The universe aligns the right people and some of those people stick with you long after that initial meeting. Today's guest Consolee Nishimwe and I met and were fitted at a dinner party almost 6 years ago. We had a short conversation and that conversation stuck with me over the years.
Consolee discussed her survival and resilience from the 1994 Rwanda genocide that murdered close to a million Tutsis in 3 months. Think about that for a moment!
Come join us in hearing some of her journey BUT also of her resilience and how the power of love flows through her today. This episode is one of inspiration for all to gain some seeds of knowledge. She's spoken at the United Nations and was chosen by SAFE magazine as one of the 50 Global Heroes who have worked on Women's rights. While there are genocides in the world we must all make the efforts to share their stories.

“If the pilgrims have heard that there's none like him in this world, no competition” – an exerpt from Chaucer’s CANTERBURY TALES
Today we begin another part of our journey with the first episode with an amazing guest our very own, Dr. DeLon Canterbury. In Chaucer’s tale when he talks about the doctor - a member of the middle class. The doctor possesses unparalleled skill and was not afraid to trust the science of the time to use whatever tools he has to care for his patients.
Our own doctor, Delon, is a pharmacist who founded GeriatRx, a telehealth, medication management company that focuses on reducing health expenses for caregivers.
Our current health care system is a broken, outdated and flawed system that ultimately leaves patients, caregivers, and providers with so many gaps in care that result with confusion and hopelessness from the patient. GeriatRx provides patient empowerment, education, and advocacy that saves our patients and caregivers the headache of navigating a complex health system. They have saved our patients just over a QUARTER OF A MILLION dollars in health care expenses and costs in just their first year.

This is the last of the "Getting to know Uncle Dave" episodes - You made it! Congratulations!
The Phoenix is a story of is one resilience of a beautiful bird who rises from its own ashes and soars to great heights. The Phoenix rise is who I am - the first time I thought of myself was May 11, 2006. As life challenges us we learn to rise from our ashes and become our own Phoenix. I have told this story a few times including my Tedx Farmingdale speech Rise and Resiliency: Becoming a Phoenix.
During our journey we will hear from others who will share their journey and how they rose and found resilience to soar for themselves.
Another "Getting to know Uncle Dave episode". This episode is about an acronym I created six years ago for my coaching practice. The On the P.A.T.H which each letter in the word path meaning something else - Personal Attitude Towards Happiness.
I will explain how being on the right path for me leads me to unexpected places and opportunities. I will share my thoughts around this and hopefully you can find a meaning for you.
"Everyone can do something and everyone can be a hero." - Frank Shankiwitz, Co-founder of the Make-A-Wish Foundation
Hey! Do you know a guy? - well that is how many of us grew up by knowing the right person who can get something done. Just like bring a bat in our podcast does not mean that we are looking for violence. "Knowing a person" isn't about bringing the tough guys to deal with an issue.
It is finding the right people to help in tough situations and connecting them. One this podcast we will be talking to many people who are involved in charitable work and we will be gathering the "GOON SQUAD" for those who will want to continue to do work.
And that my friends is what Goons for Good will be about and another of my greatest passions is connecting people who want to do good with those who need know there is good in the world. We are all not alone!

Rest In Peace Cowboy and thank you for your mentorship. I will not forget the words you've shared with me.
DISCLAIMER: This weeks episodes are the last of the "Getting to know Uncle Dave episodes".
At one point in each of our lives we have or will go through puberty. I am sure everyone has a story related to their experiences and while we didn't think we could get through it - We did!
As you've been listening life is a journey or even a process that we all go through. Well not everyone needs to go through all the parts of life the same. I had been thinking - how the hell did I get here?
Then life hit me hard. COVID hit us all hard but it make me look even deeper and what did I come out of this with - CLUBERTY (TM). Something we might all experience going through life but eventually figure out the process to help us get through the other side. Its not determined by age or biological. You don't have to go through it but are better off for going through it. You can be 16 - 46 or 86 but you are better for going through the process and that my friend is CLUBERTY (TM).
Special Valentine's Day Episode to Remind us that Peace, LOVE and bRing a bat is about LOVE. Uncle Dave shares the R's around this day as well as some thoughts on love becomes more powerful when we LOVE ourselves first.

In the late 80's there was this song that resonated with me as I moved out of my teenage years into adulthood and that song was "Kid Ego". It was sung by one of the many hair rock bands that the late 1980's built. This song talked about an individual who was all EGO. Someone who wouldn't listen to advice. Our Ego feeds us what we want to hear and we chase the shiny objects until the day it comes back to us.
For me the day of reckoning came last year when I made an attempt on my life. I learned my lessons and as the song goes - a little modesty would suit you better. Once I gave it a try I rose once again after remembering who I am. The bigger they are the harder the fall and I fell.
My friend who will alway be a part of me - Kid Ego is now put to rest because of who I really am is "Uncle Dave".

You start with one step and then it leads to another and another!
This first episode takes us on a journey with "Uncle Dave" from the land of Brooklyn. We will learn about what it means to have Peace and Love in our lives but also that bringing a bat is part of life as well. Bringing a Bat is not about violence but knowing that we must know when we are able to stand up and speak for the things that we are most passionate about we can find our most authentic self.
"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen." - Winston Churchill
And so it begins - here is the trailer of Peace, Love and Bring a Bat because in each of our lives we understand the Peace and Love but knowing when we need to take a stand ...
