Privileged today to have "the man who wrote the book" on today's new minimally invasive, image guided surgeries. As Dr. Patrick Sewell joins us to talk about his pioneering work in this field. And how he himself recently struggled to find a qualified surgeon who could perform his own procedure on him when he discovered that he had kidney cancer.
"The usual procedure," explains Dr. Sewell, "is to go in and cut the whole kidney out. But in this newer procedure, we insert a tiny probe (with a camera) and simply freeze or burn or cut out the tumor itself." Which can be done on an outpatient basis with far less cost, risk and recovery time.
He goes on to explain, however, that it's still extremely rare to find anyone trained in this procedure. "It's not that the procedures aren't known or proven,"explained Dr. Sewell. "I invented this KIDNEY CRYOBLATION SURGERY where we freeze the tumor 25 years ago. It's fully FDA approved. But that for a variety of reasons (like the need for newer skills or the fact that it takes far less time and therefore generates far less profit for the hospital...or simply that surgeons like all experts simply get stuck in their old ways) it's unfortunately still hard to find someone who'll use these less invasive surgery procedures".
But the benefit is clear. In his own case, he was able to find someone he'd trained to freeze just the cancerous parts of his kidney (without removing the entire organ) in an hour (on an outpatient basis). At a fraction of the cost, time and impact of traditional surgeries. Without the extensive recovery time and risks of infections or other side effects created when you cut into the body and remove a major organ.
Which is why he's here at UCI's Beall Applied Innovation Center working with one of the University Lab Partners to see if he can't improve this situation. It's a "cutting edge" story (without all the "cutting") you'll want to hear. On this week's OC SPOTLIGHT, here on Orange County's only community radio station, OC TALK RADIO.

Here's a sweet story (literally!) of a young immigrant entrepreneur who took a leap of faith and started a family run "sweet shop" which he calls The Chocolate Bar in Ontario, CA.

It's this determination to succeed and build a generational business for these immigrants from Mexico, along with their overall faith and commitment to serve and give back to the community (like already starting a non-profit to share food and clothing with those in need) that has already made their dream succeed.

Show Notes Our guest today, Ellie Gould, is a specialist in making the kinds of changes in your life that are both valuable and lasting. In fact, she has created a process to help each of us understand who we truly want to be, how we might get there, and then, most importantly, how we can STAY there. Ellie Gould makes a most compelling argument for the use of “feeling” our way into success in life. In our left-brained “thinking-oriented” world, our feelings are often regarded as an enemy or roadblock to success. Instead, Ellie advocates the Power of Your Emotions in her successful book, Feeling Forwards by Elizabeth Gould with the notable subtitle: how to become the person who has the life YOU want. Today, Ellie will use the lessons and learnings from her book to walk us down the path of Making Changes that Stick. Ellie Gould is a best-selling author, entrepreneur & personal reinvention coach who has worked with Tony Robbins and Randi Zuckerberg.

Show Notes Today is our very first show for the New Year of 2023. I thought, for today, I would start the new year chatting with my friend Rand Sperry about personal development expert Brendon Burchard’s take on what it means to live a life of purpose and to leave a legacy that matters. Brendon suggests something like this: “At the end of our lives we will all ask, in one way or another: Did I live? Did I love? Did I matter?” It seems to me, that if we approach life with those three questions in mind, we will be able to say, “Yes. I have lived a good life.”

Show Notes On our show with Lindsay Davis today we explore the very core of human existence. I think we can best sum it up with the words of psychologist Phil Sutherland, “As human beings, before we are anything else, we are a “burning ball of desire.” Lindsay and I probe the ROLE of burning desire in every single move we make. We ARE desire. We express desire. Without desire we are barely more than automatons. But with desire we are hungry. We are fruitful. And we can find extraordinary pleasure and productivity in life. And why should our lives NOT be pleasurable and productive? Let’s find out in my conversation with business, life and performance coach, Lindsay Davis. .

You get access even if you're not in the high-income districts where there are lots of high-performing doctors. - Paul RobertsDoctors should be using technology, but now technology owns doctors.

There is something wrong with that. - Jane Velez-MitchellWhat's wrong with our society, particularly our healthcare system, is that it's all designed to wait for you to get sick and then treat you and medicate you for those illnesses. True doctors get precious little education in nutrition. - Jane Velez-MitchellMedicine today is reactive and not proactive. You're paid for a sick patient. You're not paid for somebody who's well. And so the system is kind of jigged in a way where it's wrong. - Dung TrinhWe should be in the front end with nutrition, prevention, and lifestyle recommendations as opposed to in the back end prescribing meds. - Dung Trinh There are 20 million people on the verge of starvation in Africa. The starvation crisis is out of control. But we are taking most of our food, or at least a good percentage, and feeding it to 80 billion animals - the most inefficient food system. So I get infuriated when people who are dealing with world hunger or local hunger give out meat to people. - Jane Velez-MitchellAbout the Host:Dung Trinh, MD is the Chief Medical Officer of Irvine Clinical Research, a medical missionary with TongueOut Medical Missions, and holds leadership positions with multiple healthcare organizations in Orange County.

Show Notes In his latest weekly blog found in Sabbath Moment, Terry Hershey explores the words of theologian/philosopher Howard Thurman by delving into Thurman’s question, “What makes you come alive?” Thurman’s actual words are, “Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” I liked the topic so much I invited Terry on the show to discuss it. So. The question is: What makes YOU come alive? Several things make us feel alive, but rarely do we address the question itself. Today, Terry and I will ponder together what that question means for us personally. Now, if you’re a frequent listener of the show then you’re already familiar with Terry Hershey, who is a regular guest.

Show Notes We have a most interesting and insightful show today. Our uniquely special guest is Ann Sidney, Miss World 1964. Her new book, ‘Surviving Miss World’ is a searingly honest account of how winning the 1964 Miss World Beauty Pageant radically altered the scope of her life. Born to a working-class family in England, at barely 20, Ann Sidney’s overnight fame reveals a life during the ‘swinging sixties’ few of us could ever dream of. Her win led Bob Hope to invite Ann to join his USO tour, entertaining ‘our troops’ by traveling to Korea, Guam, the Philippines, and Vietnam (during the war). In our time together today Ann Sidney and I will discuss the impact of winning Miss World in a time when winning a Worldwide Beauty Pageant was a very, very big deal. In addition to life in the 60’s, we will discuss gender roles in that time period compared to what we believe today. Our conversation is fun and enlightening. With that, let’s bring Ann on the show.

Show Notes We all love the stories of gritty and tenacious people that go “from breadlines to headlines.” That is the story of our special guest today, Roger Smith. From ages 15 to 35, in the world of work, Roger was a very high functioning drug addict. However, eventually he discovered that although “The Wolf of Wall Street” lifestyle was good for a while, it inevitably became unsustainable, and he found himself at rock bottom thinking about taking his life. Today, Roger Smith has become for many of us that “light at the end of the tunnel.” There is hope for the lost, the self-destructive, the addict, and the homeless. Roger’s life demonstrates what a person can do with a vision, compiled productivity, and an unwavering commitment to caring about the people he works with and the ones that work for him. As it turns out, Roger and I have many things in common and I can’t wait to chat for a while about how he went from Rock Bottom to Rock Star CEO. With that, let’s bring Roger on the show.

Show Notes INTERESTING NOTE: Be sure to check out the very end of the show. Our editor left in the “after-show conversation” with Charlie, Hilary, and Producer Paul. I thought about removing it, but the very brief conversation is fun. * In the 1990’s I wrote a book subtitled “Reinventing the Life You Want.” As it turns out the book might have been just a bit ahead of its time. It seems that people were not that interested in “reinventing themselves” when the book came out. Well today is different. My special guest, Hilary DeCesare, has a new book titled “ReLaunch: Spark Your Heart to Ignite Your Life.” And Hilary’s ideas about how to ReLaunch Your Life are brilliant. She offers unique, and hugely effective, methods specifically crafted to ignite solutions for your success in today’s challenging environment.

"It's not what you know but who you know," was certainly true for 10-year pancreatic survivor Thom Mrozek. Thom wasn't sure how public he wanted to be about his diagnosis, but when his daughter, who at that time attended an episcopal school asked at Chapel "can we pray for my dad?" her request started the ball rolling.
Thom woke up one morning with a recurring pain that went on for a few days. The pain became worse, and he took himself to urgent care. The location of his pain caused the urgent care Dr to check his heart. His heart looked good, and the Dr felt it was a stomach problem probably an ulcer or acid reflux. He was given some medicine and told to follow up with his Primary Care doctor. Thom went to his internist who ordered a series of tests. Thom, standing in front of his office received a phone call from his Dr "Thom it's your pancreas, stop eating!" that comment lead to a "six-week testing treadmill."
Watch or listen to Thom's inspirational journey and how a prayer request led to a community of support for Thom and his family.

Is turning a speech into a book a good idea?
"Content remains king and everyone's making all the things and doing all the speeches and giving all the talks and teaching all the courses, but they still love the idea of it being a book because that provides some ethos building and some validity because I have a book."
We are book nerds, so we are really interested in the recent trial to block Penguin Random House's acquisition of Simon and Schuster. So much so, that we purchased the ebook version of the transcripts of the trial by Publishers Lunch, and boy it was a lot of information to process. The document is huge and not fancy in its presentation. This led us to wonder if you can turn anything into a book.
Listen in as Jen and Vanessa talk about all the different ways you could repurpose content, like a speech, webinar, or course, into a book. We also discuss how the the framework is that you have to be careful with the content and make sure it is not just a transcription of the speech. And making sure that the book is associated with the speech, but not the exact same thing.

Show Notes Do you know what makes doing this show so much fun for me? It’s all about satiating my unyielding curiosity. Today we are taking yet another walk through Charlie’s forest of never-ending curiosities. This time we chat with prolific author, Bruce McAllister who writes science fiction, fantasy, horror and thriller fiction, and even a bit of poetry. As a military kid, Bruce lived in many places, where he learned to live the life of an “outsider.” McAllister writes, "The theme of the Outsider, the Other, the Alien in the larger sense, runs through almost all of my fiction. That came from being in a military family, from having a sense of being an outsider... His bio on Amazon says that Bruce McAllister invites you into a universe where nothing is more important than what it means to be human. We will certainly explore what this means.

Episode #46.About the Guest:Dr. Craig Stark's research investigates the neural bases of human long-term memory. He uses functional neuroimaging (fMRI), experimental psychology, neuropsychological studies of amnesic patients, and studies of aging and dementia to investigate how the neural systems supporting these various types of memory operate and interact. Particular emphasis is placed on understanding the human hippocampus and other components of the medial temporal lobe.In this episode, you’ll learn:How human memory works How the hippocampus and Amygdala affect memoryTechniques to improve your memory How games can improve memoryMemorable Quotes:Memory is stored in the strengths of the connections between neurons. Our brain has, somewhere between ten and a hundred billion neurons, and they all make connections to a bunch of other neurons. And memory is stored as the strength of the connections between them. - Craig StarkYou are never too old. Your brain is changeable, plastic, and malleable. You can rewire it at any stage in life. These kinds of things are out there, and learning and memory are the ways to rewire your brain. - Craig StarkIn dementia, the hippocampus and its adjacent structures are ground zero. They get taken out. Dory from Finding Nemo is a great example of an amnesic patient. She can't remember what happened if she gets distracted. These amnesic patients could be telling you a story and the end of the story would remind them of the beginning of the story, and they could even just loop and tell it again. - Craig StarkAbout the Host:Dung Trinh, MD is the Chief Medical Officer of Irvine Clinical Research, a medical missionary with TongueOut Medical Missions, and holds leadership positions with multiple healthcare organizations in Orange County.

Show Notes I have heard it said that the “road to success” can be a torturous journey. Truthfully, I have heard it said that the “road to success” can be a bloody path. I can identify with that. First of all, we must face all sorts of external roadblocks such as the demands of other people, saturated markets, finances, and dozens of other obstacles. Today, however, we are not going to talk about external obstacles but, rather, internal obstacles—the ones we often feel almost helpless in managing. I’m thinking about the fear failure and the need to feel like you must somehow “measure up” to your own outrageous standards. My guest is an expert on managing your mental toughness and coping with the fear of failure. Dr Haley Perlus is a highly sought-after performance coach for athletes AND for leaders in corporations. Her list of clients is quite impressive as you find on her website in the Show Notes section of this podcast. This show is for everyone—no matter your role in life. Mental toughness in the midst of the fear of failure can be learned, and Dr Perlus will tell us how we might find ways to master it. LINKS Click here for more on Dr Hayley Perlus

Speaking to empowering people, Ken and Jackie further discuss healthy disruption and the intentionality and endurance required when building a diverse and balanced team.

As we begin to wrap up SEASON 2 of the Pedego Podcast, we'll revisit some of our favorite episodes including this one with eBike enthusiast Richard Davis, who after two years of daily riding on his Pedego, realized he'd ridden enough miles to have traveled half way around the world.
So being the good engineer, Richard began tracking his daily mileage and extrapolating where that would put him each day if he were actually riding around the world (instead of around his own city in Florida). Turning his daily exercise into an exercise of imagination (and drive) that made him even more determined to reach an amazing 25,000 mile odometer reading (the basic circumference of the Earth).
Hear again Richard's amazing ride "around the world" (at least in his imaginative mind) and how he rode over 25,000 miles on his equally amazing Pedego Electric Bike. Adding another 1,000 miles shows since this show originally aired earlier this fall. As we continue to chronicle the electrifying "EBike Revolution" and those leading the charge here on the Pedego Podcast.

Show Notes On our show today my special guest, Mark Holbrook, and I will discuss the issues around the recent (and troubling) decline in church attendance in the United States over the past 20 years. For instance, in the year 2000 70% of Americans claimed to attend some kind of church, and just 20 years later, in 2020, that number has dropped from 70% to 47%--a 23% decline in just 20 years! That is a very significant decrease. Now… I have a few ideas on the subject, and I can’t wait to discuss them with Mark Holbrook, who is an enormously informed “lay scholar” of the biblical text and an elder at Grace Church of Orange CA. I want to speak with Mark because he is an evangelical conservative with a deep love of people and an even deeper love of the work of God in the church. So… what accounts for this decline in church attendance? Has the church failed its people? Has the very liberal American lifestyle played a role? Or does it have something to do with the influence of media and politics—neither of which is very “pro-church” today. I think it is mostly likely the influence of all three in addition to many other factors that account for a withdrawal from “organized religion.” And there’s another topic for today: are people leaving God or organized religion?

To hear retirees Margaret and Kevin Shea tell the story, two things have totally transformed their lives: City Life and EBikes.
The first change happened when this former software engineer and his wife decided to follow their two adult sons into the actual City of Atlanta (from the suburbs where they'd spent 30 years of their lives). Discovering an exciting new world of close knit neighborhoods and neighborhood shops (like the new Ebike store that opened just down the block).
Determined to "try it all", they took one for a spin. And that's when things really took off. "Fun was our only reason for buying one," admits Kevin, "but it soon turned out to be the best investment we ever made." "It added some spice to our lives (and our 40 year marriage)," smiles Margaret. "Taking us places we never knew existed".
Like the 22 mile Beltline around Atlanta which they discovered right at their doorstep. A multi-use trail on a former railway corridor which goes around the core of Atlanta, this Beltline project was designed to reconnect neighborhoods and communities with restaurants, coffee shops, and places of interest (like the nearby Atlanta Zoo and parks). All at a slower "people pace".
A perfect pathway for their new eBikes that took them in so many new directions, connecting them with their community (and kids) more. And bringing them better health and sleep as well as they rode more frequently(and further) on their new electric bikes.
Several recurring themes we hear often on this show.
For as Margaret herself if prone to proclaim to anyone and everyone she meets, "to say that owning a Pedego is life changing is not an understatement. We lost weight, improved our sleep (and our marriage). Made new friends and found a new direction in life. Who would have thought that two simple electric bikes could add so much to our lives?"

Show Notes Our show today is about endings and beginnings AND the of the unspoken time in between the two. Life is one long journey of beginnings and endings. Projects, careers, marriages, and life itself all have an end. Beginnings are typically both challenging and inspiring. My personality type is driven to begin new ventures, loves change, and new opportunities. But I must always keep in mind that with beginnings must also come endings. But, with an end is also a new beginning… even with death. Unfortunately, we all too frequently harbor some kind of negative emotion around things coming to an end, especially an abrupt or unwanted end. However, that certainly doesn’t have to be the case. T.S. Elliot writes in his poem East Coker from Four Quartets, “To make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.” In this show I’d like to share a new insight that occurred to me more than one year ago. That insight has to do with the crucial time between ending one station in life and wisely proceeding to the next. It was from this experience that I learned the “value of the tomb,” the resting place between a figurative death and resurrection. Today’s show will be just Producer Paul and me talking about, “Lessons from the Tomb.” Important Links For more on Charlie go to www.thenextchapter.life For more on Wells of Life visit www.wellsoflife.org
In today's episode, Teresa is joined by Nadine Durbach, Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist, to discuss Mental Health: An Emerging Awareness.
Teresa and Nadine talk about how many leaders are in the best position to see changes or be told of changes in their employees and addressing the issue is better than thinking it will go away. There has been a shift in how employees and employers have changed their thinking about mental health awareness in the workplace.
They also talk about why it is important for leaders to be talking about mental health and sharing their own personal experiences. It is good for the bottom dollar to recognize mentally healthy employees make for a healthy workplace and stress will impact it.

Only our guest speaks another dialect. Nora D’Ecclesis is a Zen Buddhist master, with special expertise in practicing the annual tradition of Zen Rohatsu, which is the title of her most recent book. Her book, Zen Rohatsu serves as a backstory of “Why… we meditate, live mindfully and have a spiritual practice.” At this point in the introduction, I would normally offer up an overview of Nora’s accomplishments. But as is typical with those in humble spiritual practices, Nora is quite private. It’s almost impossible to even find what we might consider a bio or resume. Nora lets her work speak for itself. I can say this: For more than three decades Nora has been devoted to her spiritual practice as well as leading retreats, guiding individuals, and writing books. Nora has authored at least 14 books, at least 2 of which have been Amazon bestsellers, including the book we will discuss today, Zen Rohatsu.

Today is the special story of Ryan Gustman, a gifted young photographer who traded in his car and shifted to riding an eBike full time instead.. Not in spite of his autism but precisely because of it. Taking him off the road and into the forgotten backroads of his beloved Winston-Salem area of North Carolina. Where he makes a living photographing old, abandoned buildings caught in that "liminal", shifting space between what they once were and are quickly becoming. Once alive but now forgotten. With some being "born again into something new (like a revived retail or restaurant location).
It's all part of what he's capturing and exploring on his Pedego City Commuter. As he moves beyond the boundaries of his own autism to becoming part of an even bigger narrative. "My eBike has given me the freedom to explore," explains Ryan, "at a slower, more human pace my autistic brain can better absorb and handle". Both calming him and energizing him at the same time. Allowing him to grow and change and explore the world all around him. "In ways I could never have imagined". smiles Ryan.
An imaginative tale of calm and change in this week's PEDEGO PODCAST. As we continue to chronicle the eBike Revolution (and the love stories of those riding along).
Researchers found that global life expectancy is now longer in 2022 than in the 2000s by about six to seven years. And generally, this is perceived as a good thing, right? Surprisingly and unfortunately it’s not all good and we're here to tell you why.We all know that as we grow older our body and mind weaken. This poses the problem that because we are now living longer, our body is now more prone to medical impairments that are usually seen in the later stages of life, like diabetes, cancer, and most of all Alzheimer's and dementia.Alzheimer’s is a cognitive disorder that is now the seventh leading cause of death according to WHO and the alarming issue here is the misconception that it is an age-related disease and the lack of tests that can be administered to possibly identify symptoms or early stages of the disease. In this episode, we are joined by Thomas O’Neill, CEO of Cognivue, a company that developed the first FDA-cleared technology for cognitive function, as he shares how cognitive health can elevate overall healthcare and increase our awareness so we can be better prepared for healthy aging.To learn more about Cognivue, stay tuned to today’s episode!Memorable Quotes:I can tell you that 90% of the time hearing aids are driven by wives dragging their husbands into the office, saying he's not listening. He can't hear right. And that happens all the time. So we need to screen, we need to look. If we don't look, we can't fix it. - Dr. TrinhIt takes me 20 seconds to tell somebody to go exercise and watch their diet and it means nothing. They walk up the door and they see me in another six months. Yep, nothing changes right there. There's no incentive. Knowledge is not enough. You need to actually have the data about what's going on with you. - Dr. TrinhThis is a movement that is not only a healthcare issue but a society issue. And if we don't all start leading from the front, we're gonna have a much bigger issue going down the road. - Thomas O’NeillResources Mentioned: CognivueAbout the Guests:Thomas O’ Neill is the President and CEO of Cognivue.

On this episode of the Pub Date podcast we discuss the big question in book publishing: Should you release the hardcover before the paperback?
We've seen it all when it comes to this conversation. Authors like the prestige of having that hardcover with dust jacket at a book signing, but as a self-published author does that matter? When it comes to formats we're agnostic.
There are pros and cons to everything in book publishing. And if you're self publishing your next book, you can do what makes sense for you, your business, and your bottom line.

Having worked for the famed outdoor adventure/personal development company OUTWARD BOUND for over a dozen years, Laurel Zimmerman had clearly adopted their whole credo "to stretch your comfort zone" and "accomplish things you never thought you could" thru challenging outdoor adventures. But she could never have imagined how far that approach would take her in life, growing from instructor to course director, to admissions, to finally managing the national admissions office for the entire country, based out of an office in Asheville, NC. Or that it would eventually entice her to leave the company she so loved to challenge herself even further by opening an electric bike store in her adopted home of Greenville, South Carolina.
But that's exactly the leap she made in the middle of COVID, going from passionate ebiker to ebike entrepreneur. Bringing her life partner, Ashby Knox along for the ride. "When I originally went to him with what seemed like a wild idea, I was really just looking for someone to bounce it off a bit" says Laurel. "But when I laid it all out to him, he jumped at the idea as well."
Having already changed his life and jumped from a career in construction to a polar opposite in nursing, Ashby was no stranger to change. For him, it just seemed like another way to help people (without the burnout and stress he'd been experiencing in health care). So they found a place in an old cotton warehouse in the quaintest part of historic Greenville (right near the Rails to Trails Swamp Rabbit Trail) and set out blazing new trails for themselves and their customers.
It's a romantic story about a couple of life partners who also work as real life partners in this real life adventure. Helping people achieve more than they can ever imagine. Right in the heart of Dixie. On this week's Pedego Podcast. Powered by Pedego Electric Bikes.
Dr Kim joined us to talk about the use of the ViewRay MRIdian for treatment of pancreatic cancer at Hoag Hospital. Dr Kim explains that the tumor needs to be hit with high energy x-ray beams. To be able to hit the tumor you need to be able to see the tumor. Its that simple.
This is the only machine that uses MRI imaging to visualize the tumor. Tumors move with each breath and this machine allows the tracking of the tumor in real time allowing them to be precise in delivering treatment.
This episode of Living Hope is dedicated to the donors of the View Ray MRIdian Dean and Gerda Koontz

Quotes:
“Well and that really is what we as EOS implementers aim at isn’t it, it’s to really help businesses thrive.” - Will Crist, (5:54)
“So if we talk about employee retention and you talk about attraction and best places to work, the companies that are able to balance those rewards, their workforce is the one that tends to be the most successful from a profitability standpoint and from a growth standpoint.” - Alex Freytag, (8:32)
“The amount of pressure in an organization is directly correlated to performance, and so companies that don’t apply any pressure in the organization, no standards of performance, no expectation, no core values, no measurables, no scorecards, no 10-year target, and so forth, tend to have lower levels of performance than the companies that turn that dial up on those expectations…” - Alex Freytag, (11:47)
“...pick a minimum threshold of profit that the company has to reach before the incentive plan kicks in and then arm your workforce with tools and training and resources to actively find the money to incremental profit dollars over that threshold.” - Alex Freytag, (24:26)

Have you ever thought about how Google seems to know the answers you’re looking for? Do you use Siri or Alexa to help you do simple tasks? Don't those “tools” make your life a little bit better? The answer is a resounding yes. Similarly, we think about how artificial intelligence is applied and the medical field. Technology in our day and age is continually being innovated and evolved. And because of the recent pandemic, a new type of healthcare paved its way in the world: Telemedicine.Telemedicine is a type of service or technology that allows medical professionals to diagnose and treat patients remotely or at a distance using telecommunication technologies such as our cell phone devices and smartwatches. It also makes use of AI to advance medical care by making diagnosis precise, prompt, and convenient.Join us in today’s episode as our guest Harry Glorikian, shares with us the new technologies that will be implemented in the near future that makes use of AI and computer science to help make healthcare more accessible to all.Memorable Quotes:If you do a Google search and it gives you what you want, there's a strong taste of artificial intelligence behind that. When you're speaking to Siri or Alexa, there's artificial intelligence in there, it is everywhere. Except you don't really know that it's there and that's the best kind of technology, the kind that helps you and you don't even have to think about it – Harry GlorikianI think physicians need to think more like a private equity firm where they optimize the outcome rather than the typical entrepreneur where you’re making a nickel on every transaction. – Harry GlorikianThese technologies now allow you to clue yourself into your own being and be more informed and maybe make changes yourself before you have to go into the system. So it's empowering individuals to take charge of their own healthcare. –Harry GlorikianResources Mentioned: Book: The Future You: How Artificial Intelligence Can Help You Get Healthier, Stress Less, and Live LongerJanuary AILevels HealthAbout the Guests:Harry Glorikian is a global executive with 20+ years of influential leadership in life sciences, healthcare, and healthcare IT.

Show Notes Today I’d like to talk about a major theme in my life with my friend, Terry Hershey. In the early days of Covid, when masking was new and mandates were just beginning, it was Terry who told me, “Charles,” he said, “I’ve heard it said that… “Hell hath no fury like an inconvenienced American.”” Yikes. It is a hilarious comment because it is hilariously true! And it is all about our inability to be patient with people and with our lives. So rather than explain it now, I’d like to get right into our conversation with Hershey. So, let’s do it… Show Notes Find out more about Terry and his blog Sabbath Moment at www.terryhershey.com

Tina gives here common pitfalls that companies make when contemplating or conducting a workplace investigation:
PITFALL #1: Failing to Investigate (“Do we really need to do an investigation on this?”)PITFALL #2: Moving Too Slowly (“I meant to get to it, but we had a lot going on.”)PITFALL #3: Choosing the Wrong Investigator (“I’ve never done an investigation before, but how hard can it be?”)PITFALL #4: Not Being Thorough (“I talked to the accuser and got the whole story.”)PITFALL #5: Taking Sides (“I’m so sorry this happened to you.”)PITFALL #6: Promising Confidentiality (“What you tell me won’t leave this room.”)PITFALL #7: Using Bad Interview Tactics (“That’s not what Jane told me, and her story sounds more believable to me than yours.”)PITFALL #8: Failure to Properly Document (“I really thought I’d remember.”)PITFALL #9: Failure to Reach Conclusions (“It’s a ‘he said, she said’ case – there’s no way to tell what really happened.”)PITFALL #10: Bad Investigation Reports (“It was obvious to me what happened, so I didn’t spend too much time explaining.”)

Hear the conclusion of Richard Davis' years long, 24,000 mile ride. Which started when Richard realized he'd turned over the odometer on his 2018 Pedego Electric Bike for the second time. Meaning he’d already ridden about 12,000 miles (or roughly half way around the world).
So being an engineer, he started tracking his mileage on a daily basis and turning that data into a spread sheet that plotted out exactly where he’d be if he really WERE riding all the way around the world. Plotting his path "back home". Learning about the exotic points on the map and places he crossed in his mind. And turning his daily exercise into an around the world adventure.
A “fantasy ride” across the planet. All from the comfort of his home in Panama City, Florida.
Truly a flight of fancy. An armchair traveler's dream. And an amazing story filled with lots of imagination, drive and determination, on this week's PEDEGO PODCAST.

Show Notes I’d like to encourage our listeners to sit back and enjoy. Because today will be a special conversation with a very special guest. Our most delightful guest today, Judy Gaman, is here to talk with us about the subjects of friendship and the power of perspective—lessons she learned from her friendship with a woman over 100 years old. She has a most engaging book on their friendship titled, Love, Life, and Lucille: Lessons from a Centenarian. Judy’s views on friendship are fresh and powerful, with many lessons for all of us. I am so looking forward to our discussion because Judy is a highly accomplished author, radio show host, podcaster, and has worked for more than 25 years in the healthcare industry. Most recently as the CEO of Executive Medicine of Texas. Today will be all about just a couple lessons she learned from 103 year old Lucille and I am anxious to bring her on the air. So let’s get to it… Notes Check out Judy’s latest book: Life, Love, and Lucille Find out more about Judy Gaman at her website: www.judygaman.com Here is the link to Judy’s article on “Decision Fatigue.”

Meet two early pioneers of the EBike Revolution, Sherry and Steve Pike, former sales execs for McKesson (one of the largest Medical Supply Companies in the world). Who after 25 years rising up the corporate ladder had hit a wall and burned out of their corporate careers. Which began their search for something new. A small business to buy that they could call their own. "So we went to a business broker," says Steve, "who presented us with everything from pizza shops to tire recycling stores, none of which lit the passion or fire we were hoping to find."
"So I told Steve to go back to his passion," adds Sherry, "which for both of us had always been biking. And start searching there". And lo and behold, they found Pedego Electric Bikes (long before most people). Opening their Glendale/Peoria store in the outskirts of Phoenix in 2017. And becoming (in the process) one of the first eBike stores in the area.
Cut to the chase, and they're now onto their second store in Goodyear, AZ as they continue to "go west" and travel even further on their adventure. Blazing a trail that so many other entrepreneurs and escapees from corporate America have since followed from Wall Street to Main Street and the frontiers of this new eBike Revolution. On this week's PEDEGO PODCAST.

What would you do if you live in a rural area where health emergency services or basic healthcare are unavailable or difficult to access? What would you do if you can’t afford to pay your hospital bills or get the right medical attention that you need? These are real challenges of people living in developing countries where inaccessible health care is a major issue.In developing countries like Vietnam, where Dr. Trinh and his student volunteers conducted a medical mission, the general population has limited access to proper healthcare and education which is unfortunately the cause of the growing stigma on leprosy and other untreatable diseases. Leprosy, a disease that has long been treated and nearly eradicated in developed countries, is still plaguing countries like Vietnam. They build leprosy colonies and isolate patients. This results in people with leprosy living their lives not knowing their condition can be cured or managed. Medical missions like this aim to give access to this knowledge and healthcare to break the stigma gripping poor countries and help improve health and living conditions of those in need.Listen and learn more about their trip to Vietnam from our guests, Abigail, Ming, Mia, and Berrie to help break the stigma and impart proper education on this medical condition.Memorable Quotes:Honestly, we were so just involved with what we were doing and being with these people who were essentially strangers and really living with them for ten days and doing all of this kind of charity work and volunteer work was a new experience that you don't get every single day. And it was great. It was good to kind of detox away from that stuff and live in the present. - MiaThe exact reason why we go specifically to these leprosy colonies is that we believe that there is a human value from just being who you are. – Dr. TrinhThe life experience of not having, of not knowing what you're going to do tomorrow, of having no physical connection with anybody and just feeling like you're a street kid you're on your own. What happens in this country, most of the kids that age out of foster care go nowhere, which is why so many of them turn to drugs and alcohol. – Paul RobertsResources Mentioned: Tongue OutAbout the Host:Dung Trinh, MD is the Chief Medical Officer of Irvine Clinical Research, a medical missionary with TongueOut Medical Missions, and holds leadership positions with multiple health care organizations in Orange County.

Hear the amazing story of two high school sweethearts, Patrick and Wendy Reilly who not only seemed destined to be together, but somehow destined to be in business together as well.
Though you wouldn't have thought so if you watched the first 30 years of their life unfold as they got married in 1992 and started raising a family. As Wendy began work as a Behavioral Therapist and got her Masters in Special Ed. While her husband Patrick started down a long path as an engineer for Comcast.
But all that changed in 2017 during a family trip to Bar Harbor, Maine. When Patrick (who'd developed a bad back from too many injuries on his job) stumbled into a Pedego EBike store and discovered that (for the first time) he could join Wendy on her long hikes with their boys.
Enthralled with the fun they had that day, they went back home and began imagining "what if WE opened a store back in New Jersey"? Going so far as to actually contact Pedego and explore the idea. But careers and kids kept getting in the way.
Then COVID came and changed everything. Stuck at home in 2020, they drove to the Pedego store in Spring Lake, NJ and bought two bikes to celebrate their 28th wedding anniversary And then destiny stepped in and altered the course of their lives (or maybe corrected the course to where they were always meant to be).
Because shortly after buying the bikes, Patrick had a question and decided to call the local store, but instead dialed the Pedego corporate HQ in CA by mistake. Even more miraculously, they remembered him and said "hey, if you're still interested in opening a store, we're looking for someone in Haddenfield" (where they lived)".
And thus began this new leg of their journey together that finds them not with just one store but two (with a second location in Princeton, NJ as well). Where they are working with that famed University to possibly purchase a whole pack of Pedegos for faculty and staff to pedal around campus. With all three of their sons now working with them as well.
Whatever you call this strange twist of fate, it sure seems like something that was somehow meant to be. As the family that first rode together is now blazing a new trail together. As accidental Electric Bike Entrepreneurs driving the EBike Revolution. On this week's PEDEGO PODCAST.

On this episode of the Pub Date podcast we talk about the difference between indie and small press publishing. The wonderful thing about becoming a published author is that there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to going from idea to final book. If you're thinking about becoming an author, make sure you do your homework and that the math makes sense. At the end of the day, your book is another product that you deliver to your audience.

Hear how two friends who'd worked together in the home improvement industry (Scott Seneff and Travis Bryant) started imagining ways to improve their own lives by opening their own business. With lots of ideas bantered back and forth over a cigar and some whiskey. Until the happenstance sight of a Pedego Electric Bike store in Florida (while one of them was on vacation there) quickly set the gears in motion for this dynamic duo to open a similar store in their hometown of Columbus, Ohio this past April. A fast start for this fast moving pair that quickly placed them as one of the the top ten Pedego dealers in the country (all before they'd even hired their first employee!)
Two more entrepreneurs who saw an opening and quickly shifted gears to pursue it. Suddenly finding themselves "off to the races" and riding at the front of the pack in today's quickly evolving eBike Revolution. On this week's PEDEGO PODCAST.
In this day and age where education and learning mean sitting in front of your computer screen and listening to your professor discuss can be very detrimental in the long run because of the lack of practical learning. This is exceptionally unacceptable in the field of medicine, where interactive learning should always be the aim of every educator.This is where Virtual Reality Training comes into play., In a sense, this can be the next step in the path of education we are striving for. Although not the same as experiencing the training or operation yourself, virtual reality can give us a sense of what to expect in various scenarios in the operating room.Platforms of learning like these can also be used to bring about equity in terms of education and healthcare. This means everyone can have access to these materials, bringing down barriers and boundaries so that everyone can enjoy the same privileges. Memorable Quotes:“There are great lessons to be learned in reviewing past performances of your own and the other people around you.” – Paul Roberts “We found that clinical immersion, meaning being able to just be a fly on the wall and stand in medical procedure really is helpful for students to learn, especially biomedical engineers and medical students, what is going on, what to expect and how can we innovate and help the people, the physicians that we're going to be working for or working with” – Christine KingThe mission of obtaining health equity is so important. It means everyone has access, not just the privileged, not just the ones with big bank accounts, but the inner cities, the communities, the minority, or the general population everyone has access to quality health, to quality education. – Dr. TrinhThey should be able to see what doctors do.

Quotes:
“So, if you’re an owner, that’s fantastic and you can sit in the owner’s box and you can have your own meetings and talk about owner’s things, but make no mistake, when you are in the business and you are wearing that hat and sitting in that seat, that you’re not the owner, you’re an employee, and that is completely separate and distinct from the other.” - John Nachezel, (4:50)
“...the only way you will grow is chaotically and then you hit a ceiling. You’ll hit a cap, you’ll burn out…because the chaos can only take you so far. And it’s ‘I don't have time to incorporate the principles that EOS teaches,’ but that’s the way you get time is by incorporating those principles.” - John Nachazel, (22:55)
“...it’s actually a very freeing thing. It’s not a stifling thing to have structure, and that structure and discipline is what allows you to unlock your creativity and allows you to be on offense delivering punches to the opposition…it frees you to be your best” - John Nachazel, (23:48)

So how does a lifelong data scientist and former Dean with a Doctorate in Educational Equity decide to join the EBike Revolution? By taking a cruise and discovering in port (quite by accident) how much fun riding one can be. "My husband was always a hard core biker," explains Dr. Tina Moses, "but because of a disability with my leg, I could never ride along." That is until her husband booked an ebike adventure at the end of their cruise and she discovered (for the first time in her life) that she COULD ride a bike. And all the fun she'd been missing. That started a quest to learn more about the whole EBike Revolution. And the more she learned, the more she decided this was the course for her. Not just for fun, but for a new "second act career". So she left academia and opened a Pedego Electric Bike store back in Colorado. And not just one but two, with stores in both Golden and Boulder, CO.
The data was clear, the fun was obvious and it all added up to a new career path for this career academic. Shifting gears and going a different direction. On this week's edition of the Pedego Podcast.

Every year, in May, we honor nurses all over the world as we celebrate National Nurses Month. It is an opportunity to advocate for the profession and to promote the value of their hard work and dedication. Being a nurse requires not only specialized education and training but also interpersonal skills and amiable qualities that will help them connect with healthcare consumers better. Needless to say, nursing is a noble profession as it is; but there is a growing specialty practice called Faith Community Nursing that makes this vocation even more challenging but greatly fulfilling at the same time.Imagine having someone to walk alongside you as you go through health crises in your life. What’s even better is that aside from the emotional and psychological support that they can give, they are trained professionals who can lay out information and answers to questions that you are too afraid or hesitant to ask doctors and other healthcare providers. That is essentially what faith community nurses aspire to do! With the support of the whole community and the improvement or promotion of healthcare services, faith community nurses strive to develop an integrative model of health and wellness. With this kind of approach, the hope is that more people will be encouraged to address health issues and prevent or minimize illnesses and even mental health conditions. Learn more about Faith Community Nursing from our guests, Eithne Keegan and Linda Mirshafiee in this episode! Memorable Quotes:I think when we all partner together – healthcare providers and parents – in supporting our kids, I think it makes it a much more positive experience. – Linda Mirshafiee We used to come together more as communities around crisis… But as church attendance has shrunk, as we've all become more virtual, as we become more mobile and move around the country, those family networks, those church networks, those community networks seem to be fading, falling apart; and more and more, we’re left on our own. – Paul RobertsThere is comfort in knowing that there is a God… and also the purpose of belonging to a community. – Eithne KeeganSometimes you got to get out and seek some help. And maybe it just reinforces what you already thought. Maybe it's just somebody holding your hand saying, “It's okay. You'll figure [it out].” But you need somebody. Being alone is not the answer to going through all of life here. Not at critical moments; I don't think that's when you should be alone. – Paul RobertsResources Mentioned: End GameFrontline: Being MortalHoag Health NetworkAbout the Host:Dung Trinh, MD is the Chief Medical Officer of Irvine Clinical Research, a medical missionary with TongueOut Medical Missions, and holds leadership positions with multiple health care organizations in Orange County.

“About a year and a half [into EOS], I was working about five days a week, maybe even four. But you know, a very easy to maintain schedule. The stress level in the company came way down. The happiness level was good—I look forward to going in, especially for my weekly EOS meeting…” Eric Lindsley, (5:50)
“This last quarter…[we did] more in book sales per quarter than we did the entire year of 2018.” Eric Lindsley, (7:21)
“It can’t just be myself or the leadership team, but throughout the company, there has to be space. And that’s the nice thing about EOS and the EOS Life is it gives you space.” Eric Lindsley, (11:42)
“The nice thing that happens though, is when you lose people that don’t have your values, it opens up space for the right person to come in.” Eric Lindsley, (17:51) “The more I involve myself with things that are really not for me to be involved in, all I’m doing is communicating…[that] I don’t trust you to make that decision. If you have to get involved in every process, what you’re saying is, ‘I don’t trust you.’” Eric Lindsley, (28:53)

Show Notes We are in for a real treat today. I have already spent nearly three hours of discussion regarding Your Artistic Identity with our very special guest, Dr. Stephanie Allen. My problem today is not regarding “what I want to talk about,” but what I have to leave out because Stephanie has so much wisdom to share. Stephanie Allen holds a Doctorate in Musical Arts from the University of Minnesota. She teaches violin to students of all ages in her school Violin Technique Coaching. But Stephanie’s expertise is not exclusively regrading violin or music in general. She teaches anyone how to bring your inherent art form out of hiding someplace within. And she is a master at her craft! Stephanie is committed to preserving both the artist and the art. She writes this, “Music is in my DNA. I have a beautiful lineage of musicians in my family. But the art of mastery is not something you can inherit. It is a path that is studied, practiced, learned, and explored. It is an intentional path. Often, the art of mastery is a path that is wrought with pain, fear, performance anxiety, and abuse. But it does not have to be. Mastery demands structure and regimen, but it does not demand fear or stress. Stephanie is a master artist who has developed a brilliant methodology for teaching violin and for helping artists in general how to thrive in their art. And oh, by the way, Stephanie believes that every single one of us possesses that artist within. We will talk about that. Please visit Stephanie’s lovely website at https://www.violintc.com/ for more information.

When Paul Rieger originally bought his Pedego Electric Bike, it was all about commuting to work. But when his company shuttered their office and shifted to remote working, he never envisioned this would lead him to "remote riding" as well.
As Paul says with a smirk, "once my company closed down the office and I started working out of my upstairs home office. I found that the Boomerang didn't handle stairs so well. So I stopped using it for commuting and began exploring the 50+ miles of dedicated, paved bike trails that crisscrossed my hometown of Folsom, CA."
Including the 32 mile Jedediah Smith Bike Trail (named after that famed mountain man and discoverer) that runs along the American River down to Sacramento's Discovery Park. A trail which he now regularly patrols 6-8 hours/week as an official member of the American River Bike Patrol.
So by working from home, Paul Rieger found the time to slow down and discover a whole new world around him. A world this "boy on his bike" began exploring like the pioneers of old, who first travelled these trails in search of gold and a place they could call home. Bringing that journey full circle, as a new breed of ebike enthusiasts and adventurers ride the trail again from their home offices in search of newfound riches, on this week's PEDEGO PODCAST.

We are often asked about social media and which platform authors should be on. Lately, there have been a lot of questions about TikTok and our answer is usually along the lines of "it depends." Is your ideal audience on TikTok, Twitter, or LinkedIn? Is there a conversation already happening about your topic on Twitter? Have you engaged with and provided value to that community?
On this episode of the Pub Date Podcast we have editor, writer, and author Ray E. Boomhower share how he found his niche in books and community on Twitter. Ray is a big believer in not wasting anything. If you start down a path and end up taking a detour, don't trash that work. Instead, he says "cannibalize what you don't use [for your book or content] and use it on Twitter to promote what you're working on or have worked on."
We ask him to share his thoughts on the following:
How do you engage with your readers on social media?
What are your favorite Twitter tips, best practices?
Who are some of your favorite authors to engage with on social? About Our Guest

Eleven people out of one hundred will be alive five years after their pancreatic cancer diagnosis. The five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer patients has increased recently from a single digit number to 11%. Tori Larrick, Patient Services Manager ll with the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network recently shared with us why early detection and better treatment options are some of the reasons why we are seeing this increase.

Show Notes Just about one month ago we did a show with one of my very favorite people, Creative Business and Performance Coach, Lindsay Davis. For those interested, that was show #238 on the very important subject of Detachment. It was all about how to emotionally detach from stress-inducing situations. As we neared the end of the episode, we realized that a follow-up session might be very helpful and offer clarity on a subject very dear to all of us: how do we discover our purpose in life. Now… this is a tricky discussion because there seems (to me) to be two kinds of purposes: One is that general purpose of simply being a good person (you know, with strong values and engaging relationships), but the second kind of purpose is frequently much more difficult to discover. And that is: What is YOUR Personal Purpose. That is what we will talk about today with Lindsay Davis—who has most helpful thoughts on how to discover “clues to making your life meaningful and memorable.”
Ken Parme, a husband, father, grandfather a man with many talents when asked how he wants to be remembered he replied very simply "as a kind man." Ken is a very kind, friendly, talented man who I've had the pleasure of knowing for a number of years. It wasn't until he shared his journey with us that I realized how much we had in common in regards to our diagnosis. In December 2012 Ken was diagnosed with an inoperable tumor. The tumor was wrapped around his veins, and lying against his aorta.
Ken took good care of himself, ate right and was active. He was a power walker and one day on a walk with his wife Rebecca, he couldn’t keep up with her. Rebecca insisted he go see his doctor. Tests were done and Ken was told he was a diabetic and started on insulin immediately. After starting insulin, Ken still felt lousy, so his wife made an appointment with an endocrinologist. Ken, shares his journey starting with his diagnosis of an inoperable pancreatic cancer tumor, his treatment with chemotherapy, the use of the new Cyber-Knife, his eight years "stable status" and a book he and his wife wrote together. Ken and Rebecca Parme wrote a book “In The Gaze of The Divine, Life with Pancreatic Cancer.” from the patient/survivor and caregiver point of view. Available on Amazon. Ken has also written a children's book available on Amazon “The Adventures of Madde Mckinsey
This episode of Living Hope is dedicated to Ken's wonderful, wife and Caregiver, Rebecca. We want to leave you with a quote from their book, “May we all get to the place where we can accept -let go- and focus on the blessing of the day.”
Paul and I sat down and had a chat about the ways in which COVID has complicated people's battle with pancreatic cancer. The affects it had on the patient and their families. Being back in person at PurpleStride, how having a positive outlook can get you through the difficult times. What we hope for the future of Living Hope and more!

Despite the many benefits that we can get from regular exercise, many people still turn down the idea or slack off when it comes to engaging in physical activities. For some, the biggest struggle is to be consistent and stick to a routine; while there are others who find it the most challenging to even begin. On top of that, going to the gym seem to be so much of a hassle for many people – it requires money, energy, effort, and plenty of our precious time. Are you the type of person who would always come up with excuses not to exercise? Or are you just too busy to really find time for it? Then how would you like it if, instead of going to the gym, you can actually bring “it” everywhere and work out while doing anything else that you have to do in your daily life? Our guest, Abigail Aboitiz, promotes the amazing technology called EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) which is a wireless body-sculpting device/suit that can help you reach your fitness goals or simply aid in maintaining your physical health and overall wellbeing. Aside from that, she also introduces the many possibilities that a blockchain – the system behind cryptocurrencies – can be utilized when it comes to healthcare. If you haven’t heard about any of these interesting and trailblazing ideas or if you want to learn more, then tune in to this episode!Memorable Quotes:I think the better utilization of crypto is it needs to be geared toward incentivizing people's health. – Abigail AboitizLife really is about us asking the right question, and you'll get the right answer. – Abigail AboitizYou need to be in a position where you know how to measure outcomes when it comes to health. – Abigail AboitizOther Resources: Gym You WearAXIAYesDoctor by 247 Health Solution LLCAbout the Guest:Abigail Aboitiz is the founder of Advanced Wearables Inc (AWI), a sister company of 247 Health Solution, which is a virtual management and remote patient monitoring solution designed to enhance and assist physicians, medical groups, and health systems.

In 2021, there were 4.7 million people that resigned. Just in the start of 2022, there have been 4.5 million. Adria is a lieutenant colonel in the US Army Reserve and an army veteran who served five tours of duty overseas between 2003 and 2010. She wrote an article in January 2022, called "A military veteran knows why your employees are leaving." In it, she explains her theories of why so many people are leaving the workforce due to the pandemic. She uses her unique perspective from the military and relates it to the pandemic and how it really affected employees, employers, and the workplace.

Join us as our favorite "Irish storyteller" shares the moving story of his life and how he came to create the charity WELLS OF LIFE. And how it's grown to become a major force for helping end the cycle of poverty and despair for poor villagers in Uganda thru the simple act of drilling a well and giving them access to clean water (for the first time in their life).
We're not the only ones covering this story! Meet Dave Hogan a former journalist and current blogger who writes about e-bikes in his blog THIS EBIKE LIFE. Authoring a book on the subject as well entitled E-BIKES: Putting the FUN Back Into Cycling (and Life) at Any Age (which includes profiles on Pedego Co-founder and CEO Don DiCostanzo and on two devoted Pedego customers, Dr. Miryam Liberman and Laura Maydahl who we've both had the privilege of interviewing).
Like many Baby Boomers, Dave grew up riding a bike as a child. His bike was his freedom. He rode it to school, parks, and pretty much anywhere he wanted to go. When he got married 46 years ago, he and his wife Kathy gave each other matching bicycles as wedding gifts.
Now he's migrated to a Pedego Electric bike. And with that move, found a whole new interest and angle to write about. Sharing the same stories we're all hearing from the trail of people getting back on a bike (often after years away from riding). Chronicling the same EBike Revolution we talk about here on the Pedego Podcast.
Laurie Paolone went to lunch with friends. Later when she wasn't feeling well she thought she had food poisoning. When the symptoms became worse she went to the Dr and was treated for an ulcer. It wasn't until someone noticed she was jaundice (yellowing of skin/eyes) that she was told to go to the ER immediately and learned she had pancreatic cancer. The first thing Laurie thought of was "oh my God, I can't have my parents bury me." Laurie shares her inspirational journey through the roller coaster ride of diagnosis, the Whipple, chemotherapy, radiation, being cancer free to reoccurrences, only OC Talk Radio, Orange County’s only community radio station, live streamed from UCI Beall Applied Innovation Center at the Cove.

Meet Jimmy Wang, another amazing immigrant who came to this country from China with nothing but a dream (and the desire to do whatever it took to succeed). Turning that into a publicly traded company that produces high end aviation parts.
Hear about his newest idea to take a scientific approach to traditional Chinese healing (that he discovered here in Orange County) and turn that into the next big "health and healing" franchise (like Massage Envy but with a deeper root in "releasing your chi" and balancing the overall energy in your body).
Finding the blockages in what the Chinese believe is your internal system of inter-connected "meridians" that flow throughout your body. And then releasing those blockages thru the healing power of acupressure (instead of acupuncture). Allowing your internal energy to flow freely and bring your body "back into balance". Flushing out all your toxins (in the process) and providing all the energy needed for the body to "heal itself".
From Aviation to Internal energy. Don't miss this amazing "immigrant's tale" and the transformation and healing he hopes to bring to the world. On this week's OC SPOTLIGHT. Streaming live from our studios here at the University of California Irvine's BEALL APPLIED INNOVATION CENTER. Here on Orange County's only community radio station, OC TALK RADIO.

Show Notes Well, it’s my first day back from 3 weeks in Portugal. I am rested and ready to go. Today’s show is sort of a last-minute idea because we feared I would be hampered by jetlag, but that is not the case. I am so happy to say that my dear friend, Rand Sperry was available to have a discussion on a subject very dear to both of us—basically it’s all about how to optimize “old age” before you reach “Old, old age.” Haha In the 2020’s we have an entirely different concept of old age than we did 50 years ago. 50 years ago, 60 was considered old. Today that is not the case. In fact, I am not even sure what we consider to be “old age” now days—certainly not before 80 years old. In two months, I will be 73 and I feel as if I am at least 20 years younger. In fact, I am in what I consider to be the most golden years of life. I call these years my “Autumn” which I will explain later in the show. So let’s bring on the very youthful Rand Sperry to talk about “Making the Most of the Years that Matter Most.”

As much as we all aspire to be of service to others, there are some for whom those words seem to be more than just a lofty goal. Such a person is Tom Mulligan, who after 10 years of having fun in Radio and TV, felt compelled to transition into a career in social work where he could more directly help others in need. In which he found a niche helping refugees in his adopted hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan resettle into a new community. Helping people who'd left their war stricken world for a chance at something better.
And that's when the seed was born in Tom's mind for his own piece of the American Dream. To own his own business, but one that still allowed him some way to connect with people and serve the community. And that's where this unlikely journey took a twist and down a path he'd never seen towards opening an electric bike store. A product that served a need and provided a personal path towards health and happiness. And still gave him a sense of doing something positive for the community.
Join us for an amazing journey of "service to others" on this week's Pedego Podcast. With a good guy running a good business in the Heartland of America.
The quality and accessibility of medical care services have always been significant points of discussion. And looking at the bigger picture with other social aspects and issues to be factored in, a lot of people can’t help but wonder, “Is healthcare still a basic right or a privilege?”To contextualize this issue, it would be helpful for experts and healthcare providers to evaluate trends, models, and systems that have been in place for ages; and consequently, reimagine what healthcare should look like to be able to innovate and provide better, more sustainable, and holistic services. In this episode, Dr. Trinh talks about an approach encapsulated in this medical metaverse called the MDDAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization). This system, which operates like an online community, gives members the unique opportunity to take part in designing and developing the system itself. Dr. Clarence Lee Jr., president, and CEO of Exhort Health, also discusses how he aims to decrease barriers to the utilization of healthcare services by simplifying processes, lowering costs, and improving the patients’ overall experience. Learn more about these innovative approaches that can be life-changing alternatives to conventional healthcare delivery systems! Memorable Quotes:Healthcare is a holistic approach – what you eat, how you exercise; it's stress, it's all sorts of things in your life. – Paul Roberts You want to decrease the barriers to utilization [of healthcare services] because you want to get ahead of stuff before you start having complications of conditions being uncontrolled. – Dr. Clarence Lee Jr.People are people. The human body is exactly the same as it was hundreds of years ago. And if you just spend time with people and you get to know them, you can offer the best care. – Dr. Clarence Lee Jr.We want to create a community to reimagine what health care should look like compared to what it looks like today. – Dr. Dung TrinhOther Resources: MDDAOExhort HealthAbout the Guest:Dr. Clarence Lee Jr., is a Christian encourager, nationally celebrated author, international speaker, and CEO of CMLEEJR Co., a professional development enterprise that conducts live training experiences on high performance and mental conditioning for teams, organizations, and students.Dr. Lee holds a degree in Biology (B.S.) from the University of the Incarnate Word, and a degree in Medicine (M.D.) and Business (M.B.A.) from Drexel University.

Show Notes Hey Paul. We are so fortunate today to have as a guest my “reluctant to do podcasts” wife. After more than 200 episodes she has come on the show with me only one time—and that was from Italy, probably 3 or 4 years ago. Today is special. We haven’t seen each other in more than 10 days and have probably talked on the phone only three times… because she and her friends have been sooo busy. Pam and I have different ideas of the ideal vacation. Although I do like some activity and sightseeing, I must have time to rest and do nothing. Pam’s idea of rest only comes with the need to sleep, otherwise she is busy doing something. While I have been in Portugal alone, Pam has been in the UK with her sister, niece, and daughter-in-law. The have been to Scotland, Wales, Bath, and London in about 9 days. Yikes! I’d need hours of therapy to recover. So, let’s compare notes, both about our trips and what is important in life. And… by the way… you are going to love Pam!
If you really believe in the idea of "sustainable living", then it's not enough to just "talk the talk". You've got to "walk the walk" as well. Or in our guest's case "change your daily ride" from a gas guzzling, soccer mom's van into an earth friendly eBike. For all her commutes (even with kids!)
That's the story of Deborah LaSalle from Boise, Idaho who co-founded Warm Springs Consulting, a "sustainability consulting firm" whose mission is to help organizations (including big mining companies) "be more efficient and trade-out carbon emitting technologies for those that maintain profitability in a way that's better for the planet".
So how could this "eco-friendly soccer mom" drive a gas guzzling mini van? For Deb, the quest was clear. And her solution was the Pedego Stretch, a cargo carrying model that allowed her to take all her kids and all their gear wherever needed.
Deb lives six miles from her office and for all that travel back and forth to work plus her kids' school and sports activities, she's switched to an eBike. Even using it for occasional travel downtown and to the airport as well. Estimating that she's been able to switch over at least 50% of her normal travel to something that just feels better (and more fun!) for everyone involved.
Ride along as she tells us all about it. On the week's PEDEGO PODCAST. And how (at the end of the day) she truly believes she hasn't sacrificed anything. But found far more than she expected on this electric bike path that feels a bit more genuine and a whole lot better for her, her family and the world they live in.
If you really believe in the idea of "sustainable living", then it's not enough to just "talk the talk". You've got to "walk the walk" as well. Or in our guest's case "change your daily ride" from a gas guzzling, soccer mom's van into an earth friendly eBike. For all her commutes (even with kids!)
That's the story of Deborah LaSalle from Boise, Idaho who co-founded Warm Springs Consulting, a "sustainability consulting firm" whose mission is to help organizations (including big mining companies) "be more efficient and trade-out carbon emitting technologies for those that maintain profitability in a way that's better for the planet".
So how could this "eco-friendly soccer mom" drive a gas guzzling mini van? For Deb, the quest was clear. And her solution was the Pedego Stretch, a cargo carrying model that allowed her to take all her kids and all their gear wherever needed.

Quotes:
“I think one of the reasons I became a coach within the community is because…I didn't want people to struggle at the same level I did. Maybe I could help them to have less of that…but as I got through that struggle, I started to see that, wow, I was really bringing some beauty into the world, making a big impact.” Jim Coyle, (2:35)
“...There was a whole system that we had to set up and so it took a little bit of work, but it was well worth it for sure.” Jim Coyle, (5:27)
“....I think that a lot of times we, as entrepreneurs, set up a culture [where] we are the center of the universe that is the business. And that ultimately can cause a lot of problems for the business because everything then has to go through you because that's what you designed. I don't think that entrepreneurs realize they designed it that way, and then they whine about it...I do see that they cause their own pain.” Jim Coyle, (5:39)
“When people bring their full self to a company, [that] is when you get the full value from the individual.” Jim Coyle, (22:55) “...I think that when we are the same person in all aspects of our lives…that's when we can really bring real value and love…to the world. I think that when we're putting energy into creating other personas, that doesn't work, and I do think the EOS Life helps with that.“ Jim Coyle, (23:07)

Show Notes Hey Paul. Today, instead of sitting with you in studio, right now I am sitting on my sofa in my apartment in Lisbon, Portugal. I was out today roaming the town and finding myself surrounded by throngs of tourists. Man, I have a distaste for crowds. And I do have a bit of frustration with tourists that expect nationals to behave in ways that suit their personal desires. Life is different in a foreign country and, truthfully, that is precisely what makes a foreign country so attractive—it is “foreign.” This is a different kind of trip for me. I am spending more time in my apartment than usual, seeing fewer sights that usual because I am reading and writing. Still, I do not feel the same as I do at home. Different “home” with different people, foods, and habits. Please join Paul and me for an update on “Adventures in Solitude in Lisbon.”

Quotes:
“It’s figuring out how do we look a little bit further down the road to understand what we have and what we don’t have so we can proactively plan around it.” - Mike Ryan, (2:19)
“If a business is running on EOS, they’ve got a process, they’ve got people, and most importantly, their accountability is defined…the results are going to be not as favorable and not as sustainable as a business that has people, process, and technology running in a framework like EOS.” - Mike Ryan, (5:54)
“...what I find so exciting is when people get clear about what their ten-year target, three-year picture, or one-year plan is. When they get clear about that…they can begin to compartmentalize the journey that they have rather than trying to do it all at once or carrying all that imagination.” - Mike Ryan, (11:38)
“When the predictability and repeatability goes out of the supply chain, the ability to do ‘just in time’ goes away with it.” - Mike Ryan, (23:27)

Andy Hahn got my attention when he told me that “our life’s work is about the revelation of who we really are.” So, without any further introduction, let’s bring on Dr Andrew Hahn and talk about discovering a rich life of meaning and how we might find a way to manage, or even dismiss, our most limiting traumas and stresses.

When yoga instructor Donna Mogilski was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer, she knew immediately what to do. She grabbed her Pedego Electric Bike and decided to ride right thru it. Doubling the amount of miles she rode every day (except for the day of and day after chemo). Pushing her body with some serious daily exercise while calming her anxiety and putting herself in a positive state of mind. Chanting all along the way "remove all obstacles in my way". "It's what saved my life," says Donna. "My ebike saved my life. It was the catalyst for my recovery".
Hear the amazing story of one woman on two wheels who rode right thru her cancer, using a holistic approach of mind, body and spirit that's allowed her to beat this deadly disease and be declared officially cancer free (one year later). Thanks to her taking a positive path. Driven by her "never say die" determination and spirit. With a big boost from her Pedego Electric Bike. That's what we celebrate on today's PEDEGO PODCAST.

Show Notes Today is a dramatic departure from the normal format of our podcast. That because today my, friend Cara Stewart, will host the show as she interviews me as a guest on my own podcast. Initially, I invited Cara to be a guest on the show but after she and I discussed possible topics she came up with the question, “Hey, Charlie. Has anyone ever interviewed you on your show? To which my response was, “Well, not really.” After just a few moments of thought, I said, “Let’s give it shot.” So here we are. Fortunately, Cara Steward in an excellent host: she is a former journalist, a frequent co-host of another podcast on OC Talk Radio, a serial entrepreneur, and the founder and CEO of Altalunas Media. I have no idea what to expect. With that, let’s discover just what Cara Stewart has in mind as today’s guest host of the Next Chapter with Charlie.

It's hard to eat just one potato chip. And for some entrepreneurs, it's equally hard to run just one Pedego Electric Bike store. Once the first one is up and running, there's a drive for more.
That's certainly the case with this week's guest, Zach Selby, who opened his first shop almost on a whim. Having taken over the family business of machining aircraft parts and moved it to Utah, he still longed for something a bit more fun and people oriented. So he found a small retail location and rented it without even being sure what he'd do there. Until eBikes appeared on his radar. "I got to the machine shop at 4am and found I couldn't wait to get to the bike shop" explains Zach. "So I just kept going and growing both." Recently opening his 5th Pedego store in Utah.
"They're just so darn fun," smiles Zach. Particularly the way he does them, with a full blown bar attached to his latest store in South Jordan called The Recharge Pub and Grub. Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too?

“We think sometimes that poverty is only the hungry, naked, and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved, and uncared is for the greatest poverty. We must start in our homes to remedy this kind of poverty.” — Mother TeresaWhen we walk outside, we see homeless people sleeping on the streets – finding shelters in parks, benches, or even under the bridges feeling unwanted, unloved, and uncared. While picturing them out in your head, could you imagine the emotional trauma they are experiencing? The pain that they feel when we choose to turn a blind eye? How hungry, thirsty, and hopeless they are, and how much physical pain do they have to endure every day?If you see that this is the greatest poverty and that we have to start reaching out to these people, then you are a great person for having a very good warm heart.In this episode, we’ll talk about helping the homeless in healing their wounds with Michael Sean Wright, the founder of Wound Walk OC.

They really got to learn to not work as hard.” Nathen Fox, (14:55) “I just believe in implementing EOS purely and making sure that companies stick to it and create that result quarter after quarter.” Nathen Fox, (39:15)

This episode of Living Hope is a continuation of a pervious conversation about being a Caregiver with Stephanie Ruvalcaba Ho. What is a Caregiver? If you provide help to another person in need, you are a caregiver. Caregivers can be professional - hired through an agency or a family member stepping up. Caregivers come in all different types - the one who takes care of all the medical needs, runs errands, meals, personal needs. There is a lot to being a Caregiver, many challenges, roll coaster of emotions. Even with all these feelings there are some good things that can come out of this difficult situation. Listen as we have a very open and honest discussion here only on OC Talk Radio, Orange County's only community radio station streaming live from UC I Beall Applied Innovation at the Cove.
This episode of Living Hope is dedicated to all Caregivers and thank them for their care, support and love during our journey. I’d like to end with a quote from Former First Lady, Rosalynn Carter: “There are only four kinds of people in this world: those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers. Caregiving is universal.”

This week we talk with a young supermom who wasn't feeling so super after suffering some severe health issues and injuries. But she was determined to be all she could be to her kids, so she bought a Pedego Stretch that was big enough for her two kids (7 and 5) to hop on back. And off they went to be (in her words) an "explorer extraordinaire" (at least in the eyes of her kids).
Hear her heartwarming stories of riding again and sharing adventures with her kids like taking on the Gardens of the Gods in Colorado. Like the supermom she's determined to be (in spite of her injuries and illnesses). On this week's Pedego Podcast.

On this episode of Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way, host Will Crist talked with Alex Kochetkov, the founder of Mubert, a musical platform that generates music with the power of AI. Although Mubert is Alex’s first startup, his determination and experience have helped him grow a successful startup quickly.

“It's super difficult to choose the tracks to run [to]...And it was so annoying for me. And I decided to create something that will help me to run and not to think about music.” Alex Kochetkov, (2:57)
“It helps people just not to think about music. So we should make the music the commodity.” Alex Kochetkov, (9:58)
“When you have the opportunity to work with your team in the evening…and to spend some time on these inspiring talks, when you talk not about your product, not about your current situation, but about the future of your product, that's the most inspiring thing.” Alex Kochetkov, (20:38) “...Mubert is the product that [content creators] can use.

Show Notes I think most all working adults have experienced (or are experiencing) the sluggish malaise of a burn out. These are the times when our joy of life just feels stalled and all that remains is stress and anxiety. I, myself, am just emerging from that nearly paralyzing state of burn out. For that reason, I am so much looking forward to our conversation today with one of my very favorite podcast guests: Lindsay Davis. Lindsay is a business and life coach for high performers. She “lives” in the success arena and fully understands one of the greatest issues facing high performers—burn out! I have so much more to say but, instead, why don’t we just bring on our voice of sanity, Lindsay Davis.

Today's guest is Banks Benitez. Banks is the Co-Founder and CEO of Uncharted. Teresa and Banks discuss the advantages and challenges of a 4-Day Work Week. Banks moved the organization to a 4-day workweek where people get 100% compensation to work 32-hours a week over four days. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many offices moved to hybrid or remote work, and some have started a 4-Day Work Week, many experienced the "Great Resignation." Companies needed to think about what matters most to their employees and how they can better serve them. Teresa and Banks talk about implementing the 4-Day Work Week and what it has done for his company.

JB surprised me with a dedication to my 20th year survivor-versary!
In this episode of Living Hope we continue our conversation we started on March 24. What to do when a loved one dies? This is a subject no one wants to talk about but at some point it's information that can be helpful. If we can all set down and talk about what we want when we die it would be so helpful for those left behind. What is a Advanced Health Care Directive? Is one needed? Who needs to be notified? What kind of service should we have? Would a check list be beneficial? These are some of the topics we talked about. It can be a heavy subject but we did have some laughs along the way.

Is death the last taboo topic in America? It's a difficult conversation but one we all should have. This topic is not meant to take away hope or pose a negativity but to provide the resources when the time comes. We talk about what we should do. What to do first, telling friends and family and so much more.

Ever wonder what it would be like to travel around the world? Well this week's guest, Richard Davis from Florida did just that when the engineer in him started calculating how far he'd actually ridden since buying his Pedego Electric Bike. Suddenly realizing that he'd racked up enough miles to have gone half way around the world. Which led him to start keeping a daily log and figuring out where exactly that would put him on his imaginary journey back home.
A goal requiring precise engineering and perseverance that has inspired him to get up each day and ride a little more until he's finally pedaled enough miles to have travelled completely around the world (a little over 4000 km total).
An amazing feat he estimates he'll reach at his current pace by the end of this year (if his calculator is correct!)
Stephannie helped take care of her grandmother, she wasn't her Caregiver in the traditional sense. When asked to describe her grandmother Stephannie lovingly replied "tomboy and lace." Stephannie visited her grandmother everyday after she got home from work. While others took care of her physical needs, Stephannie, which is just as important, took care of her emotional needs. Whether it was reading her stories, telling jokes, or modeling, Stephannie and her grandmother shared a very special time.
Stephannie, not yet over the loss of her beloved grandmother, finds herself dealing once again with a loved ones diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. This time it is her mother-in-law, a woman she loves and respects. Obviously, this woman feels the same way, she asks Stephannie to be her Caregiver. Stephannie felt honored and she and her family moved to be closer to her mother-in-law. Stephannie assumed the full responsibility of being her Caregiver, sometimes upsetting other family members. Watch/listen as Stephannie shares her experience as a Caregiver in different capacities. @OC Talk Radio Orange County’s only community radio station streaming live from @UCI Beall Applied Innovation at the Cove.

The use of Cannabidiol (CBD) as medication was first approved by the FDA two years ago to treat childhood seizures. Most Americans now use this as an anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and anti-insomnia drug. CBD as medication has many proven benefits and continues to show potential as an alternative - or even primary - medication or treatment for various ailments.Is CBD safe?This is a question asked by most people curious about this form of treatment. Let’s learn about that in this episode as Kandice Hawes of OCNORML talks about the continuously growing interest in cannabis and how their nonprofit provides a network and welcoming space for both businesses and consumers that advocate for its use. Memorable Quotes:Looking from a religious perspective, I have to ask myself: did God create an evil plant? Did we just screw it up or was this marijuana plant created to have potential health benefits? — Dr. Dung TrinhWe have to change our thinking that these people aren't pushers, but healers. — Paul RobertsI hope that we will one day have the right to travel with cannabis. — Kandice HawesWe should take away the penalties and change the stigma about how they treat people that use cannabis. — Kandice HawesOther Resources: My Jane, My Storyorangecountynorml.orgImportant Points:Growing up in American culture, we were taught that marijuana is a sin but looking at its potential positive benefits, medical marijuana can be used in treating pain, anxiety, and insomniaThe cannabis industry, especially medical cannabis and CBD, is in its early phases of scientific research. This means that we don't have a dose to recommend for right now.Many folks are just starting CBD at a very low dose. And then they're titrating up very slowly. It's done that way mainly for safety reasons. Nobody dies from Cannabis.Smoking is not the best way to use cannabis, but for some people that need immediate relief, smoking or inhalation cannabis is the mode of choice.There are patches that can stick to your skin for 24 hours and deliver you cannabidiol throughout the day.About the Guests:Kandice Hawes-Lopez is the Founder of Orange County NORML, Director of Community Outreach in Glass House Brands Inc, and Principal Officer at Committee To Support Medical Marijuana Ballot Initiative.About the Host:Dung Trinh, MD is the Chief Medical Officer of Irvine Clinical Research, medical missionary with TongueOut Medical Missions, and holds leadership positions with multiple health care organizations in Orange County.

On this episode of Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way, host Will Crist sat down with Deam Roys, the founder of Roys and Associates, a retained executive recruiting firm that connects talented people with jobs and helps companies retain those people. After informally running his business on EOS, Deam realized the value of this system as he started learning more about it. Eventually, he transitioned to using it with his business and telling other clients about it as well. Throughout the episode, Will and Deam discussed why entrepreneurs might be hesitant to adopt EOS and how the benefits of using EOS outweigh their doubts.

Quotes:
“...I think the biggest change I see is that they're just a lot happier with not only their work life, but their personal life.” Deam Roys, (3:26)
“With EOS, not only does it help kind of give them a structure to align things a little bit better in their business, but it also gives them time for their own personal life at home, which I think a lot of them going into it don't realize is imbalanced.” Deam Roys (3:48)
“I think that I would imagine many of these visionaries after going through EOS…must ask themselves what took them so long. How many years of their life that they lost not being able to spend their life doing the things that they really love. You know, why did it take them this long to get around to all this?” Deam Roys, (13:21)
“Half the battle, I think, is from the founder or visionary standpoint, trying to figure out what they're not good at, you know? Because they kind of think they're decent at doing everything and obviously they’re better at doing some things than others. But being able to admit that, ‘Hey, I'm not really that good at doing this and it'd be better for me to hire somebody to do this for me that's actually good at it.’ Just admitting that and going through that process alone is half the battle.” Deam Roys, (20:01) “We help them basically take the chains of entrepreneurial-ism off and help them really start living their life and enjoying their life.” Deam Roys, (35:07)

Michael started his law firm over 25 years ago, and he ran the law firm with no business background whatsoever. After 15 years in the practice, Michael realized he needed help, and his firm became the first law firm to adopt the EOS model. The firm now thrives and even mentors other firms through their Fireproof program which is adapted for law firms. Throughout the episode, Will and Michael discussed how EOS has changed the firm and its employees for the better and how other law firms can do the same.

Quotes:
“I mean every business concept that I now know pretty darn well now, after all this time, I learned from him and EOS…it transformed me in a very short period of time to a very robust law firm with good business practices, good core values, good everything… I couldn't have done it without everything that I've learned throughout this process.” Michael Morse, (5:56)
”...We've worked with over 30 law firms individually…and their eyes are huge when they learn some of these concepts that they should be doing to run a really good law firm, because the traditional way to look at this is: law firms are not businesses, they are law firms…so it is fertile ground for implementers to go out there…and teach them. And that's what we're trying to do is spread the gospel and teach them how to run a really good business.” Michael Morse, (10:43)
”I think most law firm owners are doing too much. They're hitting the ceiling. They're not working in their sweet spots. They're not enjoying life…They don't know how to delegate. They don't know their numbers…you can ask a few questions and prove that they're hitting the ceiling…[I ask], what if I could teach you a way that you could work on all day everyday things that you're great at doing and that you love to do? Would you like to hear more about that? Who's going to say no to that?” Michael Morse, (11:41)
”I think that learning the things that we've learned and making a difference in our law firm is definitely spreading and making the world a better place.” Michael Morse, (15:51) ”If you do embrace this…as a business lifestyle, it really does work. It's not pie in the sky. It's take some time. It's not overnight. You don't read the book and wake up and you're living these five things. Absolutely not. It’s taken me 15 years…but it definitely works.” Michael Morse, (33:36)

Show Notes This week on his blog, Sabbath Moment, Terry Hershey has been writing about the restorative power of brokenness. Terry writes this: “In embracing our wounds, they become sacred wounds, because grace is alive and well in brokenness. It’s paradigm shift time. Time to move from a project-management view of life, to a “wade-in” view of life. Life, in its brokenness, is not to be contained, explained, or fixed.” I really like the idea of moving on from a project-management view of life. It is so much better to view life as an exciting and unpredictable adventure, as opposed to a “project.” And, as we all know, with adventure comes disappointment and messiness. Perhaps the messiness of it all is the key notion we will discuss in this show because messiness includes being wounded and broken.

What's the old adage? Give a kid a fish, and he'll eat for a day. But teach him to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime. Well the same thing holds true for riding bikes. Listen to this fascinating tale of two people in Georgia who built a non-profit (Bearing Bike Works) all geared around the simple idea of teaching "at risk" kids how to build and maintain their own bikes. Earning a free bike for learning a new skill. And teaching them some valuable "life skills" along the way like persistence, patience and perseverance. And a new found belief in themselves.
Taking a risk on "at risk kids". And setting them on a new path. That's the story on this week's PEDEGO PODCAST.

Our immune system is our body’s natural defense system that fights against foreign invaders such as viruses like Coronavirus. When this immune system overreacts, it leads to chronic inflammation and damages multiple organs – often resulting in death.Post-COVID syndrome or long COVID is a long-term effect that you can generally have from COVID-19. It may happen that you already survived the virus, however, it doesn’t mean that the damage has already gone.How is this connected to the Cytokine storm?Let’s learn about that in this episode with Dr. Raymond Chang, a Medical Director of South County Kidney and Endocrine Center and Chairman of the Orange County Endocrine Society, who was also once a COVID “Long-Hauler”.Memorable Quotes:When the virus is getting through a cytokine storm, your immune system becomes even stronger to the point where your body doesn't recognize the virus. As a result, your body attacks the virus and your normal self, as well. — Dr. Raymond ChangCOVID virus enters the body through a receptacle called H2 receptors, which are more abundant in overweight patients. This is why overweight patients are more at risk for COVID-19. — Dr. Raymond ChangWhen the virus is gone, the damage remains. — Dr. Dung TrinhBe strong and hang in there. The virus in your body will die and once it dies, you’re going to be able to recover. So hang in there as long as you can. — Dr. Raymong ChangThere is something about the human body that if you mentally fight to hold on, you got a better chance than if you just give up and say, “I'm gone”. — Paul RobertsOther Resources: South County Kidney and Endocrine CenterImportant Points:Endocrinology is the study of hormonesInterleukin 6 is a marker blood test to measure your body's inflammatory state.Inflammation is part of the immune system's response to fight viruses, bacteria, or toxins.Chronic long-term inflammation or inflammation that is excessive damages your own body. The blood-brain barrier is an actual barrier that is designed to protect your brain from everything else that's potentially dangerous in your body.About the Guests:Raymond K.J. Chang, M.D. is the Medical Director of South County Kidney and Endocrine Center. He is a Diplomate of the American College of Endocrinology, Nephrology, Internal Medicine, and Hospital Physicians.

Quotes
“I saw a real need for entrepreneurial visionaries to get expert help and experienced help at the integrator level.” Jason Prentice, (0:55)
“The integrator is not somebody who’s supposed to be telling people what to do. This is not the expert in manufacturing or finance or in sales. The integrator is the one who helps those experts on the leadership team who have the responsibility for those various departments. But the integrator helps the whole team work together harmoniously to achieve the vision.” Will Crist, (2:31)
“I’m a little non-traditional in that I’m not a big fan of telling visionaries ‘No.’ I know that that’s something that has to be done, and we can’t let our companies be chaos, but there’s a way to harness all that energy in a way that still keeps the energy going.” Jason Prentice, (13:35) “I really believe in the system, and it’s just fun to get better and better and better at it. Each experience, each organization, each relationship that gets developed along the way is meaningful and has purpose.” Jon Dornbos, (32:48)

Show Notes Our talk today is a most important discussion about how we can better “orient” our lives. Let me explain. For decades, I have believed in the idea that we all possess some sort of built-in internal gyroscope to align our daily lives with our personal values. As you well know, the technical function of a gyroscope is to detect the deviation of an object from its desired orientation. Isn’t that true for us as well? I truly believe that we have (or need) a personal internal gyroscope. Well, our guest today, Zen Cryar DeBrucke, has devoted more than 30 years to exploring this very subject. She describes it in her book Your Internal Guidance System. Zen also founded and manages the Smart Soul Academy which encapsulates 30 years of exploring. The online Academy contains trainings and systems that will enable you to master the use of your IGS (or Internal Guidance System). On today’s show Zen talks to us about accessing and implementing Your Internal Guidance System. I am very into this topic and can’t wait for Zen’s expertise.

Which led them (thru lots of twists and turns) into opening two Pedego Electric Bikes stores as well in Livermore and San Ramon. Getting back on a bike (after years away) and riding it all the way to the front of the pack. In this latest edition of the Pedego Podcast.

Lisa had excruciating back pain but related it to the fact she was a runner. She went to the Dr and because she was also having digestive issues and just didn't feel "right." It was decided she would also get an appointment with a GI Dr. Xray on her back didn't show anything so she tried pain management while trying to make an appointment with her gastrologist. Due to COVID she wasn't able to get an appointment right away. During her ultrasound she looked up at the screen and saw nothing but her pancreas. She had a horrible feeling and she remembered a colleague mentioning his wife was a medical student and she would always say "don't F with the pancreas." When she didn't hear back from the Dr she felt everything must be ok. They finally got back to her and said we found something, we need to get in there right away. It took two weeks to get the biopsy and that waiting time felt like an eternity. Getting the news from a resident was a horrible experience. She hadn't heard from her gastrologist and felt left trying to figure out what she was going to do at that point. Her relationship with her Dr was filled with mistrust. Things started to look up when her company provided her with information about a group called Pinnacle Care. They help people who receive a devastating diagnoses and helps manage the medical world. Lisa openly talks about chemotherapy, trying to re learn your body again in regards to eating and taking the enzymes. Her family and friends were a great support during this time, support came from people she never met. Trying to live life with a new normalcy. 3 things -Don't google! Reach out to PanCAN Patient Services for great resources; understand your treatment, do not be afraid to ask your Dr over and over again why are you doing this; you have to believe you are in that 11%, you have to have that mindset that says "I'm in that 11% and never let go of that, never let anyone tell you, you are not. This episode of Living Hope is dedicated to fellow pancreatic cancer survivor Jenna James.

Quotes
“[Before EOS], I think I clearly knew what I wanted inside, but like most visionaries, it was in my head. I couldn’t simplify it. I couldn’t get it organized on one sheet, and it was a little bit of a struggle.” Eric Hinson, (3:12)
“Explainify’s running smoothly because I have an integrator [and] I have a leadership team, and I’m able to focus on [Parable] right now.” Eric Hinson, (30:06) “[With Parable], we’re already talking EOS language. We’re already building it around that operational model. Even with just two or three people, it’s going to be built around that because it’s been so helpful and I’d like to start from the beginning rather than do it later.” Eric Hinson, (31:21)

Show Notes Today we have on our show a favorite guest, master storyteller, Linda Olsen. Linda has a brand-new book that demonstrates how to use the discipline of storytelling to, as stated in the subtitle, Empower Your Hope When Going Through Tough Times. As I was chatting with Linda earlier this week, I came to the realization that there is a huge difference between your “stories” and your “STORY.” In our previous podcasts with Linda we talked primarily about developing tools necessary to tell your life “stories” in a lucid, yet concise manner. We will continue that a bit in this show, but today I’d like to talk about the value of your “life story” or your “narrative” and how that story impacts your life. This will be fun. Linda Olsen is a bestselling author, TEDx speaker and Founder of Wealth Through Stories. As former college dean, and marriage and family therapist Linda brings us deep knowledge of personal transformation through telling your own story.

Today's guest is Dr. Amy Diehl and Dr. Leanne Dzubinski. Teresa. Amy and Leanne discuss gender assumptions and role incredulity. Amy and Leanne recently published an article in the Harvard Business Review, "When People Assume You’re Not In Charge Because You’re a Woman.” They discussed role incredulity, a new term which means a form of gender bias where women are mistakenly assumed to be in a support or stereotypically female role — secretary, administrative assistant, court reporter, nurse, wife, girlfriend — rather than a leadership or stereotypically male role, such as CEO, professor, lawyer, doctor, or engineer. In these instances, women must expend extra energy and time to assert and sometimes prove their role. Teresa, Amy, and Leanne discuss examples of this in the workplace and what employers and employees can do to eliminate this type of gender bias.

In a world where we’re constantly flooded with much more than we can handle, may we not forget to seek something to lean on for strength and hope.Healthcare providers – particularly nurses, can best establish a relationship with their patients by fostering a relationship with them to promote healing and wellness.Mind-body-spirit means that wellness does not only come from physical health but mental and spiritual health, as well. And to be healthy, we should always take a look at these three aspects of our nature.In this episode, let’s listen to the different stories of healing through spiritual and mental support with Eithne Keegan - a Faith Community Nurse serving as an RN Advocate for the Hoag Faith Community Nursing Program.Memorable Quotes:Sometimes, one prayer with a patient is probably the most important thing that they have gotten out of the office visit. — Dr. Dung TrinhMaybe healing has a different definition to God. It may mean that you’re done with your suffering and then come back to him. — Dr. Dung TrinhKnow that you are loved. — Eithne KeeganRemember that even the homeless persons are children of God and He loves them as much as He loves you. — Eithne KeeganHug somebody today. — Eithne KeeganOther Resources: hcfusa.comhcfusa53@gmail.comImportant Points:Because of burnout and all the things happening to their workplace, many people are going back to their religion.Asking for consent is the most important thing.

Show Notes Just recently we did a show with Terry Hershey on Creating Inner Space for Change. The idea was that in order for meaningful life change to occur, you must first “declutter” your mind and your activities. I believe it is show #231, so listeners might want to check that one out because today I plan to talk more about what “Life Change” might look like. What does it mean to live with meaning, adventure, and awe? Although, it’s the theme of our web presence and yet I am not sure I have ever addressed the subject on a podcast. Well, today is the day. As an Executive Life Coach, I work with highly successful individuals who are planning for greater meaning in their life either through their career or by means of a meaningful retirement. So, I “live” these ideas. And as a lover of a life of meaning, adventure, and awe my inner core drives me to pursue the process of greater and greater alignment with my core self. In our time today I plan to talk around three issues: the Drivers, Restraints, and Processes for to Life Change. In other words… how can we enter our Next Chapter because, like it or not, every day is a new chapter and it is up to you to determine the content of that chapter. You “get to” determine the content of your life.

For many years, Kat Woirol had a great job with General Electric in Human Relations. "It was a great ride," she admits. "But after 25 years I was definitely looking for a different path to follow" All she knew was that in her next act, she wanted to work for herself. And was determined to quit commuting thru Atlanta's notorious traffic jams.
She dreamed of riding a bike to work. So why not own an electric bike shop, in Atlanta itself? And that's what led her to Pedego. "We found a spot inside the beltline," she smiles. "In the heart of the city". Right next to one of the many "rails to trails" projects that are moving people off the highways and onto the forgotten byways. Allowing her to slow down a bit and build a business that spoke to her heart. While still allowing her the freedom to ride home and be there when her 8 year old kid's school bus arrives. Becoming a trailblazer (and an eBike entrepreneur) along the way. With everything she ever dreamed of (and more). All of which she gleefully shares on this week's PEDEGO PODCAST.
Robert Derringer of Crouzet discusses his industry involvement in the Electronics Components channel and the importance of men acting as allies for women in the workplace.

Monica loses both her parents to pancreatic cancer, first her mother and later her father. Her mother wasn't given many options - either chemo or let nature take its course. With the low survival rate the decision made was to let nature take its course. Monica being a researcher googled pancreatic cancer and found a chat group. After reading a few stories posted by family members, Monica felt her mother had been given a death sentence. After losing her mother in 2003 she continued to do research but found nothing was really being done. She joined the PanCAN Albuquerque, New Mexico Affiliate in 2012 after attending her first PurpleLight. Monica always loved to volunteer, pancreatic cancer ended up choosing her mother and that lead her into the direction of volunteering with PanCAN. Monica is the Social Media Chair of the Michigan Affiliate and has also served as the Advocacy Chair. The first thing she tells people she meets who have been diagnosed or their family members is to contact PanCAN. "I'd let them know there is hope not to give up, different things going." Monica feels going to Advocacy Day and sharing your stories with members of congress is very empowering. It's important our representative know "My mother was just not a statistic, she was not a number she was a real person." Monica was completely blindsided when she found out her dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer some years later. Her father had seen what his wife and gone through so he was a little more aware and his was found earlier. His symptoms were different, jaundice, itchy skin, he was able to have the whipple but sadly died less than a year later. Monica hasn't really come to terms yet in losing her father, she is still mourning her mother. Losing both parents to pancreatic cancer Monica is more involved and invested in the fight against pancreatic cancer. Quoting one of her favorite researcher, Dr Howard Crawford "It can be bent." Monica's goal is to raise as much awareness, keep her mothers legacy alive, "I don't want her to ever be forgotten and she won't be forgotten through me or the work that I do." This episode of Living Hope is dedicated to Monica's mother Ranjana Upadhyaya "MAA" You can reach Monica through the affiliate facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/2095769850634842

Despite the millions of Ukrainian refugees heading to nearby countries, there are still some who choose to stay on the ground and continue to fight. The Russian attacks are horrific atrocities and have caused immense suffering, fear, and heartbreak. These people are the ones experiencing traumas and fears from getting tortured and arrested for no reason.But why would they stay in their country rather than become a refugee? When would this war end? How can Americans help the Ukrainians? What are they doing on the ground?Let’s hear out the people who are there and living through the nightmare. Today is a rare opportunity to hear four brave women telling stories of what they’re seeing and experiencing in Ukraine. Don’t miss this special episode of Health Talks with Dr. Trinh!Memorable Quotes:Russia didn’t ever expect Ukraine as a flourished country. — Nika BielskaLet’s not confuse refugees with social-economical opportunists. — Valentyna LyevlyevaI can’t communicate with my relatives in Russia because they would also say that our army is killing our people and we should open our eyes. — Valery ShyrokovaMy child shouldn't live in an apartment of people that I have never seen nor sleep in the bed of people that I have never seen. — Valery ShyrokovaNothing will ever be more important than human values. — Tatiana GrinuovaImportant Points:People usually misunderstand that Russia and Ukraine have the same ancestors when they were just united by the Soviet Union and Ukraine has more in common with Poland.We can’t imagine when and how will the Russo-Ukrainian war end.Just from one hit, the whole country felt unsafe.About the Guests:Nika Bielska is the founder and CEO of Postweb.Digital and a scientist at Epigenetics laboratory, D.F.Chebotarev State Institute of Gerontology NAMS of UkraineTatiana Grinuova is the founder of Kind Challenge, a charity fundraising platform in Ukraine.

God designed people to be biologically wired to have fear to make us aware of impending danger and take action against it. Fear is an internal mitigation tool against risk. But if not controlled, we easily get manipulated by fear, which holds us back from taking the next step to success.As we live in a feeling-based world, no one can ever invalidate how we feel. But feelings can lie frequently and not all feelings are accurate towards reality.When we stay being chronically fearful, our body is activating the inflammatory factors that affect our physical health. As a consequence, it accelerates aging and contributes to illnesses. In short, harmonious health and life promote better health.In this week’s episode, we are joined by Dr. Timothy Jennnings to share the integration and biblical principles to a healthier brain function. Dr. Jennings is the President and Founder of Come and Reason Ministries and has published books such as Could It Be This Simple? and The God-Shaped Brain.Memorable Quotes:It's significantly destructive to us when we react to fear because fear contributes to illness and accelerates aging. — Dr. Timothy JenningsWe must present truth and facts that empower people to be able to make intelligent decisions — Dr. Timothy JenningsFear may hold us back from taking the next step to getting a better career or knowing a healthy relationship. — Dr. Dung TrinhLet's look at faith, use reason and science, and then compare that to the real world. — Paul RobertsOther Resources: https://comeandreason.com/Important Points:The laws of health are the laws upon which health and life operate and function, and as you harmonize with them you promote better health.Fear, from any cause that is chronic in nature, activates the immune system which kicks up inflammatory factors and undermines physical health.When you are socially isolated, you have a higher mortality rate. You can't fight illnesses, as well. You have more cancer rates, depression, or dementia. Much of the fear is driven by misinformation, falsehoods, and propaganda. It's not being driven by actual science or evidence. What you believe means how you feel; how you feel means what you do, and what you do leads to certain results.About the Guests:Timothy R. Jennings, MD is a board-certified Christian psychiatrist, master psychopharmacologist, international speaker, a distinguished fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, and a fellow of the Southern Psychiatric Association.

“We were able to start working on the business and not just in the business, whereas I think pre-EOS we were very reactionary.” (6:07) - Josh Abbott
“For a very long time, [we waited] for people to ask for raises, and if they asked for a raise [we would] assess and give them a raise. But what we found was there were folks out there who are not going to ask for a raise, and they may start to feel resentment around the fact that they haven’t been offered a raise.” (16:42) - Josh Abbott
“We put out ads for one [open position]—we were just looking for one person last year. And I think we ended up turning [the ad off] after we got 35 applications in four days.” (29:24) - Josh Abbott

We work to openly communicate and create transparency and trust across each department.” (17:18) - Derek Gerber “A year ago, when we were growing quickly at a state of point, we put out a couple of job applications. We had four applicants over six weeks—at a time where we needed to hire people very quickly.

Show Notes Okay, truthfully… today is a show I very much look forward to hosting. It is yet another episode with my dear friend Terry Hershey. Now typically, Terry and I have some rather challenging philosophical issue to discuss and it’s always a blast to do that kind of show. But today will be a bit different. It’s a hybrid… maybe. I anticipate a sort of potpourri of catching up on stuff we haven’t talked about for a while. First of all, as of 2 hours ago, baseball is back… and my son has a job again. Next, Terry just spent the morning watching birds… or something like that. So we will chat about our lives and things that really matter. Before that however, I read a quote this morning by poet David Whyte that has me thinking deeply and I am most interested in Terry’s take on it. The poet Whyte wrote, “In life we are in the difficult act of disappearing, often against our wills, in order to make way for something we cannot yet comprehend… perhaps the ultimate form of human generosity is that of giving ourselves away to see how and in what form we are given back.” In other words, “You gotta lose something in order to get something new.” Just a note. In just a few days Terry will be at the Religious Ed Congress in Anaheim, CA. This coming Saturday March 19, he is giving a speech in the Arena. His speaking time begins at 10:00 AM. You can go to www.terryhershey.com Terry is bringing 3 brand new books. And, be sure to say Hi, because I am part of the sales force. And I always cheat and give the best deals. Haha Okay, Okay. I was wrong. I cannot put the Character Strengths Assessment online. It requires a special invite. So, so sorry!

On February 24th, Russia began invading Ukraine, forcing millions of Ukrainian citizens to evacuate for their safety from the chaotic bombings and killings.Poland, a country next to Ukraine, is no stranger to the bitterness of history, having been in the crosshairs of the Second World War.

Show Notes Our guest today, Dr Tiffanie Tate Moore, is the poster child for resilience. Raised by an Aunt, in Compton CA, because both her parents were strongly addicted to drugs and alcohol. Dr Tiffany grew up to be valedictorian, an OBG/YN Surgeon, a medical Officer in the United States Navy, and having a successful medical practice in riverside, CA. All pretty impressive, huh? But that does not take into account that she was abused in early childhood, was shot in her back in a drive-by shooting, and had to quit medical practice at the age of 44 because of a hand injury that prevented her from practicing surgery. After depression and feelings of uselessness, Dr Tiffanie once again discovered her innate and learned resilience to overcome these challenges to become a woman of great value to her society and to herself. I can’t wait to learn from Dr Tiffanie Moore just what it takes to overcome horrific life changes to become a person of value, service, honor, a commitment to a life serving God.

If you've ever wondered "what comes next?" hear the amazing journey of Vicki and Neal Peden, who went from a career in real radio (where she was the News Director for a big radio station in Dallas and he was the Chief Engineer). To hanging up their headphones and heading in a totally different direction as the founders of Cowtown Cycle Party, a 16-person BYOB party bike that's like a big bar on wheels. A path that eventually led them to eBikes as well, as they opened a complimentary Pedego Electric Bike store for the many others who wanted to ride along on their many guided trips thru the famous Ft. Worth stockyards (and their daily cattle drives). And all the bars and BBQ joints for which Dallas and Ft. Worth are famous.

Show Notes What do you think of when you think of Introverts? Typically, the term connotes shy, withdrawn, or maybe even lacking confidence. But I’m not so sure that is the “whole story.” Our guest today, Steve Friedman, will help us understand much more the strengths and attributes of those, might I say, “blessed” with the gift of Introversion. By using the word “blessed,” I guess I give away the fact that I am an introvert myself, and yet… people rarely see me as one. But believe me, those close to me have no doubt. I thrive on being alone and in solitude. In fact, when quarantine first began, as an introvert I was proud to say “I’ve been practicing for this my whole life. Haha My guest, Steve Friedman is the author of two books on introversion. His latest book is The Corporate Introvert, and his first one was a memoir titled In Search of Courage, An Introvert’s Story. Steve’s latest book is at The Corporate Introvert Please check out Steve’s first book In Search of Courage Check out Steve’s website at Beyond Introversion

Traditional Chinese medicine is the oldest codified system of medicine in the world. Its basic philosophy is to encourage a healthy body to prevent illnesses and speed up recovery. This medicine believes that chi flows through the body pathways called Meridian and illnesses can only occur if the flow of chi along the meridian is either blocked or unbalanced. With the evolution of eastern medicine, there is a new approach to healing called Meridian therapy. Meridian therapy is the process of working with the natural energy meridians of the body to induce good health and well-being.After thousands of years, Eastern medicine has finally reached the West. To further have knowledge about this topic, we are joined by the founder of TOMii Wellness, Lighter Chen, to talk about balancing chi through Chinese Acupuncture.

“An apple a day keeps the doctors away.”This is a common proverb that each one of us are familiar with. In fact, it is something we often say to remind ourselves that keeping our bodies healthy can offer us several benefits like keeping us from various diseases and illnesses.The human body requires an adequate amount of nutrients to function properly and maintain good health. These nutrients are chemical substances found in foods that are categorized as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. We need all of these to let our bodies function properly and have all the energy we need for the day.Living a healthy lifestyle is the best investment we can make. It may sound daunting to exercise daily or keep a balanced diet, but investing in our health is something our future selves will thank us for. But everything takes patience, dedication, and time. You can take things slowly, and alter your lifestyle one step at a time. Consult your doctor, research, and be consistent to keep your body healthy and physically fit.Hear more in this episode with Dr. Paul Goodman, the Chief Medical Officer of Fresh N’ Lean, about the best way to get proper nutrition and how food can be your medicine. Tune in! Memorable Quotes:If everyone would cut back their sugar to one percent, we will have a large decrease in everything. - Dr. Paul GoodmanYou have to get your nutrients from whole foods first. - Dr. Paul GoodmanFood is medicine, it is more than food, it is information that you feed for your body. - Dr. Dung TrinhImportant Points:Macular degeneration is the only condition where we prescribe antioxidants.

Colleen LaSalle shares her journey with her husband, John, diagnosed with stage lV pancreatic cancer. John was put in a clinical trial and told with chemo he would have 3 years and without chemo one year, sadly John was gone in four months. Colleen was John's Caregiver, it was difficult, she went from being his wife to being more like a parent. She shares how she had to keep things as normal as possible for her two daughters. Colleen received no training or advice on how to be a Caregiver; it was a learn as you go experience. Colleen has gone from being a wife, mother, caregiver, volunteer, advocate. She wants to be there for others, to offer them the support and knowledge this journey has brought her, something that unfortunately she learned along the way. Colleen and her girls are involved in bringing awareness and advocacy because they don't want John to be forgotten "he was here, he was important, he will always be important." This episode of Living Hope is dedicated to John LaSalle. January is Clinical Trials Awareness Month and finding out John was in a clinical trial with an oral chemo that sadly did not help him but helped many pancreatic cancer survivors including myself was a little emotional for me but really brought the importance of clinical trials to a different meaning.
Looking back this has been an amazing year for Living Hope and for myself. Coming out of my comfort zone going from Podcast Producer to Podcast Producer and Podcast Host! Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd be here doing this. This year we have shared my personal journey as well as the journeys of so many. 2021 has been anything but normal but hopefully the journeys shared have given us all hope and have inspired us in some way. Though many of the journeys did not end the way we wanted, we shared in the tears, laughter, the understanding we weren't alone. In 2022, we look forward to hearing from you. Sharing your journey, ideas of what you'd like to hear more about. Some may be controversial, but we hope you take something positive away from what you may hear. In closing this episode of Living Hope is dedicated to all those that shared their journey, that watched or listened to Living Hope, the many non-profits that supported us helping us get off the ground. A special thank you to Dawn Kamber, Public Affairs Director/Podcast Host of Impact OC, who started this many years ago and Paul Roberts, CEO and Station Manager who came up with the idea.

Show Notes Have you ever wondered about what it is that draws (especially) intelligent people to join a cult? Well, today we’re about to find out. We will learn first-hand from our very special guest, Radhia Gleis, who was an elder for 25 years in a cult called The Buddha-field. As a young woman… Radhia went on a quest for to discover nirvana and found herself entangled in a destructive cult. Now, for anyone tempted to judge cult followers as weak-minded and gullible, Radhia has a new book that will certainly shatter those assumptions. In her new book titled The Followers, she explores the common traits, as well as common needs, that every human being possesses. And, almost ironically, it is in these very common needs that cult leaders find their prey. Radhia has a message for all of us… to understand… as well as be wary of. PLEASE NOTE: This episode was so informative and fun that we had to break it into two shows. Be prepared to catch Part II in just a couple days, where Radhia shares what she learned and what we can lean. Please check out Radhia’s book.

Reaching our optimal state of health has gotten more and more difficult - even when our doctors or physicians have already prescribed us an appropriate diet or medications. This is because we are not that motivated and committed enough to change our lifestyles. Having discipline and drive is very crucial for us to achieve the kind of health condition we want. If we still cannot resist craving our favorite desserts or buying all kinds of fast foods for our go-to meals, it will be very easy for us to fall into temptation when we start to change our diet. Just like other aspects of life, we need to alter our behavior and mindset when it comes to choosing the food we eat and how we can integrate movement and activities into our day-to-day routine. Having a health coach can guide us with our decisions when it comes to food intake and choosing the proper diet and exercise that fits us to easily meet our desired health change. Health coaches are part of the healthcare team that provides support and accountability to people through lifestyle adaptations. In this episode, we are joined by Nurse Belinda Oberle to tell us why it is important to have a health coach. Tune in to Episode 20 to learn more.Memorable Quotes:For life changes to happen, patients need both support and accountability. - Dr. Dung TrinhA person has to be committed to making changes. - Belinda OberleWhen it comes to my health, I either pay now or pay later. - Dr. Dung TrinhNo one is responsible for our health but ourselves. - Belinda OberleOther Resources:Embrace Life CoachingImportant Points:Health coaches don’t provide information but they provide accountability and structure that allows people to reach their goals. A health coach digs into deeply where doctors do not.Physicians are not trained necessarily on wellness and prevention but on diagnosis and prescription.Health changes start with behavioral changes.About the Guests:Belinda Orbele, R.N is a Nursing Coordinator for Home Health at Memorial Care Health Care and an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach at Embrace Life Coaching.

We had the opportunity to talk with Courtney Sparkuhl, about dealing with stress during the holidays. Courtney, is a licensed clinical social worker at UC Irvine Health working in the Comprehensive Digestive Disease Center (CDDC).

Nikki was an oncology nurse practitioner for 15 years in the Chicago area. Nikki relocated to Nevada and began volunteering with the Nevada Affiliate. Nikki’s journey with pancreatic cancer started when her brother-in-law was diagnosed in February 2014 and died in November that year. She made a promise to him that she would continue the fight and work on bettering the outcome for patients and for families. She continued his fight by first volunteering with the Nevada Affiliate and later retiring from nursing to go on to her now position with PanCAN as a Case Manager with their Patient Services. Nikki connects with newly diagnosed patients and their families, provides them with information and resources allowing them to make informed decisions.

Show Notes Today we’re about to go down deep and stay down long into the subject: Is it morally good to focus primarily on your own personal happiness? Author Peter Schwartz says… “From childhood, we’re taught that helping others is the essence of morality. And most people take this code of ethics for granted. They don’t challenge that premise.” Peter Schwartz does challenge that premise. In his book, The Tyranny of Need, Peter Schwartz explains why he believes that people do not fully understand what altruism calls for. In his view, it shows that what altruism really demands is not that you simply respect the rights of others or that you display benevolence toward them. Rather, altruism demands that you subordinate yourself to other’s needs. Now… Peter presents a moral alternative to the code of altruism: and that is, rational self-interest. He explains that genuine selfishness is not exemplified by the actions of the likes of a Bernie Madoff. Schwartz argues—the truly selfish individual is committed to moral principles. He lives an honest, productive, and self-respecting life. His book, The Tyranny of Need, shows you how to uphold your moral right to the pursuit of your own happiness. Just a bit on Peter… PETER SCHWARTZ is a retired Chairman of the Board of the Ayn Rand Institute—the pre-eminent organization for the dissemination of Ayn Rand’s ideas—and he is now a Distinguished Fellow there. As you might imagine, in this episode of the Next Chapter with Charlie, Peter and I engage in quite meaningful discussion of this oh-so controversial topic. With that, let’s welcome Peter Schwartz to the show. For more visit Peter Schwartz at www.Petershwartz.com Check out Peter’s book: The Tyranny of Need

After 30 years as a successful St. Louis Attorney, Tom Sauerwein was looking for an encore career. Something that combined his passion for the outdoors with his desire to work with his wife Carla (a longtime Pediatric Nurse). But what could fit that bill? How about opening a Pedego Electric Bicycle store. "What seemed like an improbable fit at first, quickly became the perfect solution for both of us", beams Tom. "For it combined my experience of helping clients with Carla's many years in health care and helping others. All of which we continue to do every day. As a couple. For couples our age (and others)". What could be better? Working outdoors. Helping customers get fit, get active and get out on the trail again. Like the famous pioneer trail that runs right behind their store. "It sure feels like it was meant to be" adds Carla with a smile, as she lists all the happy coincidences that led towards this path, from getting on their first ebike to stumbling upon the perfect store. Right on one of the largest "rails to trails" projects that have crisscrossed Missouri (and so many other states) with miles and miles of new bike paths. Turning forgotten rail and pioneer trails into modern adventures. For this couple and all those they help ride along the way.

Every time we face an external challenge, we reveal our strengths we didn't know we possessed. We find people to help us, learn from the failures, and even find ways to overcome them. But, what if these challenges are something that we need to fight on our own? We are in a constant battle within ourselves.

But when this leads us to confusion, conflicts, and frustrations - we can see ourselves stuck in an important decision.An inner conflict happens when you feel as if you’re of two minds.

Beth Fisher is an author, speaker, and transformational coach with a passion for helping others overcome adversity. With what she calls a “checkered resume,” Beth helps bridge the gap between making decisions based on what others expect and instead, living life remorselessly, based on who God created you to be.

A leukemia-survivor and avid marathoner, Beth is also a business leader who spent over twenty-five years in corporate sales, leading thousands of people within some of the largest Fortune 500 companies to identify and execute process improvement. During the course of that career is when she finally recognized what she had truly been doing all along was teaching humans how to show up on their own personal process improvement journey.
Her strong business acumen, coupled with a deep desire to help others traverse difficult situations, is what led her to resign from the for-profit world and write her first published book, Remorseless: Learning to Lose Labels, Expectations, and Assumptions—Without Losing Yourself. She has since published a second book, a companion guide entitled, The Remorseless Workbook: A Journey to Losing Labels, Expectations, and Assumptions—And Finding Yourself.

Show Notes When I began The Next Chapter with Charlie back in 2014, I came up with the descriptor which is,The Next Chapter: In Search of Meaning, Adventure, and Awe. Since that time, I have written and podcasted a boatload about the Meaning of Life, but not as much on Adventure, and even less on Awe. And yet, Awe is one of my personal favorite joys in life. I love art, architecture, nature, and what Terry Hershey calls “giddy” human responses to life and the wonder of life. Today, Terry and I explore the nature of Awe, as well as our unfortunate proclivity to allow obstacles to get in the way. So, let’s bring on Terry Hershey to help us navigate that tension between Awe-FULL as opposed to awful. Visit Terry at www.terryhershey.com .

In WE Radio's latest "Leader in Highlight," WE Founder & CEO Jackie Mattox speaks with Chris Beeson, Group Senior Vice President-Electronics at RS Components, an Electrocomponents Company. In Part 1 of this two-part interview, Chris focuses on the convergence of electronic components distribution into other areas beyond the traditional parts sales model. In what Chris refers to as a "moving equation," he shares how this transition has changed not only how distribution goes to market, but also the opportunities for companies including new positions, new employees and new ways of working. Chris further delves into how Covid-19 spotlighted the importance of employee onboarding, succession planning, staff nurturing and organizational self-analysis. Part 1 wraps up with insight into RS Components' ESG, which Chris explains sets the foundation for the company's environmental and social programs.Support the show (http://www.womeninelectronics.com)
Founder and CEO, Jackie Mattox, continues the conversation with distribution leader and industry veteran Chris Beeson in Part 2 of his interview series. In looking back over his lengthy career, Chris shares how the fundamentals of the industry are the same; a business built on relationships, trust and long-term thinking, but the methodologies are different. He shares that while sales is still a key component to success, digital has changed the industry landscape, creating more opportunities for influential technical, marketing and operational roles driving business from behind the scenes. Today's leaders are now challenged to not only recognize these talents, but to foster and maximize their opportunities for growth. Chris shares his own mentorship story and how he had a champion who sponsored his growth, and it is a result of his positive experiences that he feels strongly that we all have a personal responsibility to give back.

Passion is the fuel that keeps us doing the things we love. It gives a sense of purpose and meaning to our lives by reminding us of who we truly are. However, life isn’t always rainbows and butterflies - it can also be full of setbacks, failures, and conflicts that often kill our burning fire to do the things we’re passionate about.Nobody wants to live their lives being constantly worried about debt. Everybody desires to be financially secured.

Show Notes Today is an unusually important show. My friend and CEO of Wells of Life, Nick Jordan, spent all of 2021 battling with Stage 4 colon and lung cancer. The odds of survival were not good. But let’s come to the end of the story right away. After 2 surgeries, 4 months of chemotherapy, 75 radiation treatments, 2 days of fasting before every chemo session, and a bout with Shingles he was declared cancer free in late December 2021. During the months of chemotherapy, radiation, and times of surgery, Nick had only his faith, his family, and his friends to lean on. And truthfully, all three were desperately needed because the reality of impending death makes you realize the shortness of life, therefore forcing you to re-evaluate everything you do and believe. In Psalm 90, Moses writes, “Lord, teach us how short our lives really are so that we may be wise.” We have much to learn from someone who has been close to death. Today, let’s discover the value of life from the perspective of very recent cancer survivor.

The new year has come, and many of us are still hoping to finally reach the end of the pandemic. However, there are still emerging variants of COVID-19 and many countries are still strictly implementing COVID restrictions to prevent transmission and to lower infection cases. It continuously affects each one of us, our economy, and threatens the future of the younger generation.Ever since the pandemic started, doctors and scientists researched for every drug they could think of to fight the virus. There are lots of potentially effective medications that can be repurposed. However, due to a lack of funding, pharmaceutical companies are rarely interested in research with approved medicines, especially generic drugs.To continue the COVID-19 update, we are joined in this episode by Kate Chiang, the brilliant daughter of Dr. Ajay Gupta, who is a full-time Research and Development Scientist in KARE Boresciences, to continue the discussion about Ramatroban as a possible treatment for COVID-19.Ramatroban is a generic drug used for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. It is currently under investigation to possibly treat COVID-19, sickle cell disease, cardiovascular disease, neurological diseases, obesity, and more. Listen to Episode 17 to learn more.Memorable Quotes:Immune response to COVID-19 would be the major factor in fighting off the virus. - Kate ChiangAnyone can do anything at any age if you will invest yourself in it. - Kate ChiangWe have lots of potentially effective medications out there that can be repurposed to treat other conditions, but nobody wants to do it because it is generic. - Dr. Dung TrinhOther Resources:Karebio.comImportant Points:COVID-19 causes blood clotting which can prevent proper blood circulation throughout the body and may result in organ damage.Money is the barrier to why we couldn’t do clinical trials.Ramatroban is not necessarily COVID specific but it strengthens your immune system enough to fight the virus.About the Guests:Kate Chiang is a part-time TongueOut Youth Ambassador and a full-time Research and Development Scientist in KARE Boresciences.

Show Notes Well, here we are. 2021 is done. And it was, shall we say, a challenging year. Today I have our dear friend Terry Hershey with me to discuss our end of year thoughts. But you know what… I am choosing not to focus on the endless conversations and issues concerning covid and our tiring national crisis of divisiveness. Today Terry and I plan to discuss 2021 through a much more personal lens—a lens focused on what have we each have learned and experienced this year. Visit Terry at www.terryhershey.com .

No one can ever deny the power of education. It can change and uplift our lives as it provides us with the knowledge and tools to survive in life. Yet many of us misunderstand the true essence of education and the real reason why learning is important.Education isn’t just about the grade you are trying to get every semester or your professor’s lectures you’re reviewing just to pass your midterms or finals. Rather, it’s mainly about learning to find solutions to the problems you can encounter. There are several differences between Asian and Western cultures and one of these is how they view education. In this episode, Dr. Cornelius Grove joins Dr. Trinh to dig deeper into how culture affects our educational system and how American culture differs from Asian culture in terms of priority and passion for education. Are you curious why most Asians prefer western education and why they choose to study at American universities rather than in their country? Listen to Episode 15.Memorable Quotes:What the family wants is what the members of the family want. - Dr. Grove In American culture, we emphasize “Follow your dreams and your passion” but I’m not sure if that exists in Asia because they’re more like what’s good for the family. - Dr. Dung TrinhYour dream and your passion may require a great deal of education. - Dr. GroveA CEO isn’t necessarily an A-student. - Dr. Dung TrinhOther Resources:Mirror For AmericansThe Drive to LearnImportant Points:East Asian families give high emphasis on academicsWhen children choose what they want to do and follow through with that choice, they’re more likely to be successful and satisfied.A typical Asian family depends more on the collective family decision on important aspects like educationEducation has two views: sports analogy and school learningAmericans and East Asians react differently to failureAbout the Guests:Cornelius N. Grove, Ed. D., is the author of the books “The Drive to Learn” and “A Mirror for Americans.” He writes non-fiction cross-cultural books of interest to American parents and teachers as his mission is to explain the historical and cultural reasons for their children’s comparatively mediocre performance in schools.

Show Notes Today’s subject is not a light one. In fact, it may be one of the most troubling subjects I have discussed on the show after more than 130 episodes. Today is about very deep human pain and suffering, AND the potential learnings that can result, if one chooses to take that path. Although we may love learning about life and our deepest inner selves… the path there is often most unpleasant. David Whyte alludes to the power of suffering when he writes, “Suffering is as inescapable and inevitable as breathing…” If suffering is inescapable and inevitable, it might be asking us… to see suffering as our constant and instructive companion…” “Suffering asks us not to look for an alternative path, because there is no alternative path.” Now… none of this eludes the pain and despair of suffering. It is not something to anticipate with glee. It sucks. Yet if suffering is inescapable, we are asked not only to expect it and learn from it, but also to actually embrace it as our unwanted “instructive companion.” My very special guest today, Dr. John Bash, is most accustomed to suffering as well as the deep learning that comes from it. As a successful minister and church planter, In John’s resume I read… “John’s heart for leaders is a natural outgrowth of a life spent watching God turn pain and tragedy into comfort and healing.

What a ride! Since starting this podcast six months ago, we've heard some amazing stories about the ongoing eBike Revolution from the entrepreneurs driving this movement to the "love stories" of all those riding along. Join our producer Carly San Filippo as we look back at all people we've met along the way and the life changing stories they've shared with us about getting out and active again on an electric bike. From socialization and "group rides"(in this era of isolation and shutdowns and "go it alone") to weight loss and simply "feeling better". To feeling like a kid again (as actor William Shatner said) and shouting "weee" when you jump on a bike and hit that throttle. It's all here. Plus the steady stream of "second act career stories" we've heard as well. On how high powered achievers from airline pilots and bank executives to former pro golfers and bond traders have made the move from "Wall Street to Main Street" to open their own Pedego Electric bike stores (and why). As we look back at this last year's wild ride and all we have yet to discover. Here on the Pedego Podcast. Brought to you by Pedego Electric Bikes and your friends here at OC TALK RADIO.

“Death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it.” - Steve JobsNo one is ever really ready to close the circles, shut the doors, and finish the chapters we’ve shared with someone we love. Because even though death is inevitable, you’ll never really know when it will be the last page in the book of life. Everybody is excited about the birth of a child but there are only a few who are present at the time of the death of a loved one. Like many Americans who choose hospice and palliative care at the end of life. In this episode, we will hear some stories of the people who are at the edge of their life with Dr. Parag Bharadwaj, who is a Hospice & Palliative Medicine Specialist in Fountain Valley, CA. As sending our loved ones to hospice or palliative care are common especially to Americans, let’s all not forget the meaning of life and the importance of letting them feel loved while they’re still alive.Caregivers who choose to take care of patients with no chance of surviving are amazing and incredible. Listen to Episode 14 to know why these people continue to take care of terminally ill patients despite forming a special bond with them. Tune in to Episode 14. Memorable Quotes:End of life is a thing that nobody wants to talk about until when you get to that point. - Dr. Parag BharadwajThere’s one reality that nobody can escape and that is death. - Dr. Parag BharadwajAll of us are excited about the birth of a child but only a few are there for the death of a loved one. - Paul RobertsOther Resources:Stories from the EDGE OF LIFEImportant Points:Hospice can connect patients and their families to the right resources that can get them access to what they needMake sure that the patients are comfortable enough so they can spend their valuable time with their familyPeople in sedation might still be able to hear us but they have no ability to respond.About the Guests:Parag Bharadwaj, MD is a Hospice & Palliative Medicine Specialist in Fountain Valley, CA, and the Medical Director at MemorialCare Medical Group.

Show Notes Well … here we are in the 2nd week of our Christmas/Advent series titled Has God Become Irrelevant? In just 20 years church attendance has declined by 23%, for 70% attendance in in the year 2000 down to 47% in 2020. Although the are indeed many sociological and religious reasons for this decline, I believe that we have a grand misunderstanding of the nature of the divine Godhead. The all-too-common view of God is that of a judgmental punitive white male that will “get you” if you don’t toe the line. As a result of my studies of the Bible and a plethora of theologians is quite different. Last week we presented the idea that God is not an unattached stoic but instead demonstrates on multiple occasions the depth of his “feelings” like suffering and mourning and sadness, as well as exuberance and joy and satisfaction. Today I am talking with one of our most popular guests, life coach Lindsay Davis, about of the nature our human connection with divinity based on what is called in the Bible, Image of God. The theory is this: every single longing we have as human beings is either a direct or indirect reflection of how we are created. With that statement, let’s bring on Lindsay Davis to discuss with me the nature of God’s love as it pertains to sin and desire and godliness.

A healthcare system is defined by law and regulations that provide primary health services to its population through finances, services, and management. It consists of organizations whose primary goal is to promote, restore, and maintain health. Every country has its own different healthcare system and understanding what your country has will ensure you the quality of services you’d need. The American healthcare system deals with high prescription prices rather than the high quality of services. The cost is enormous plus its access is uneven. This is why we’ve invited Dr. David Wilcox in this episode, the author of the patients’ handbook of survival called, “How to Avoid Being a Victim of the American Healthcare System” to give us a brief education on what we should really know about our healthcare system.One of the primary works of nurses is to educate their clients especially when it comes to providing quality of service since nurses are also collaborators and educators to address their client’s needs. So consider asking a nurse to help you understand this and know what kind of service you actually need. Dr. David Wilcox’s knowledge in Executive Nursing Practice is extensive and he is an excellent source of valuable information regarding this. Listen to Episode 13 to get more insights. Memorable Quotes:It’s very important to educate yourself on the American Healthcare System because if you don’t, you’re at the mercy of this when you have to access it. - Dr. David WilcoxPhysicians will think about their income negatively if the bulk of their income today is from procedures. You’re basically putting a budget right onto healthcare whereas in the fee-for-service world there is no budget. - Dr. Dung Trinh Patients that are not really sick but need to be cared for can be cared for in their home environment using technology. - Dr. David WilcoxOther Resources:How To Avoid Being a Victim of the American Healthcare System: A Patient's Handbook for SurvivalGoodRx appcms.gov Important Points:GoodRx App works with Pharmacy Benefits Manager (PBM) to get you a better price for your prescriptions.About the Guests:David Wilcox DNP, MHA, BSN, RN-BC, LSSBB is the author of the patients’ handbook of survival called, “How To Avoid Being a Victim of the American Healthcare System”.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought us stressful and overwhelming challenges to a degree that our level of anxiety and stress have increased. It negatively affects our mental health mainly when we tend to feel more isolated and lonelier due to the sudden health protocol restrictions. People try to cope with stress even at the simplest level that they can until they get run over and find wrong solutions. The extreme amount of stress and lack of coping skills has led many to use illegal drugs that caused the rate of substance abuse to increase. This is why being open to health education is needed to put a stop on the continuous pain behind mental health amidst the pandemic.In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Paul Christo, the author of the Aches and Gains, A Comprehensive Guide to Overcoming Your Pain, as he talks about the uncontrolled and untreated pain people are dealing with and the pharmacological strategies to reduce pain. At the same time, Lanii Phan, the Vice President of Community Health at 360 Clinic, is also here with us to share (her/his) inputs about the topic. Keep in mind that mental health is as important as your physical health. So taking care of your mental wellness during this pandemic is crucial and helpful for our well-being. Episode 12 features better ways to reduce pain without the risk of illegal drugs. Listen to learn more!Important Points:Some of the pharmaceutical companies push physicians to use opioids more frequently.There are many instances where people overdose and die due to misuse of opioids because they have access to it even without the prescription.

Show Notes Church attendance has declined by 23% since 2000. In 2000 around 70% of Americans claimed to attend some kind of “house of worship.” In 2020 that number has declined to 47% Why? THIS Show is all about the “personness” of God, that God does have the same feelings as we. Suffering, mourning, joy, and exuberance—all are attributes of God… just rarely discussed Most people, Christians even, have been raised on perceptions of God that, although perhaps mostly true, are radically incomplete. In the USA, when most people think of God they imagine a punitive and angry old, white male. While the real image of a poor and humble Jesus, dedicated to serving the poor and disenfranchised comes not to mind; nor does the OT God who suffers. That is our subject today in the chat with Charlie and Producer Paul.

Buddhism is one of the major world religions that focuses on the true nature of life - the state of enlightenment.

As much as modern technology and science tries to alleviate human suffering, the world has been plagued by numerous health problems afflicting the lives of people. Due to COVID-19, the rate of mortality increased resulting in widespread medical and economic challenges. Our body has interferon proteins that are part of the natural defenses. They work by interfering with the virus to enter the body by activating the body’s immune system. This is one of the first line of defense the human body has when it gets infected with COVID-19 but unfortunately, this is not enough. According to WHO, as of November 2021, there have been approximately 200 million confirmed cases of COVID-19. For COVID-19 medications, Remdesivir is one of the few drugs approved by the FDA to treat COVID-19 yet researchers are still evaluating which drug works best to fight the global pandemic.In this episode, Dr. Dung Trinh is joined by Dr. Ajay Gupta, an inventor and innovator who has investigated Ramatroban, new immunotherapy with potential treatment for COVID-19. Though still under development, early phase clinical trials and studies have been promising.

Show Notes As you already know, I absolutely love contrarian thinking. Anyone who challenges the so-called “norm” will almost automatically get my attention. And that is precisely what our show is all about today. Elizabeth (or Ellie) Gould makes a most compelling argument for the use of “feeling” our way into success in life. In our left-brained “thinking-oriented” world, our feelings are often regarded as an enemy or roadblock to success. Instead, Ellie advocates the Power of Your Emotions in her successful book, Feeling Forwards with the notable subtitle: how to become the person who has the life YOU want. Ellie is a best-selling author, entrepreneur & personal reinvention coach who has worked with Tony Robbins and Randi Zuckerberg. Please enjoy my enlightening conversation with Ellie Gould as we discover how to Harness the Power of Your Emotions.

Many years ago, our guest suffered a debilitating car injury, severing his sciatica leading to long lasting pain and loss of function in his left leg. Since then, he's refused to give up, logging long bike rides for both physical and mental well being. And when that became too physically hard, he found a whole new way to pursue his passions of "birding and biking" when he walked into a Pedego Electric bike store in Wheaton, Illinois (50 miles from his home) and rode out with his new ebike. Logging in over 5000 miles in his first six months as he follows his heart and goes where few bird watchers can manage on long trips thru long forgotten trails from Green Bay to the Mississippi. Like Johnny Appleseed, sowing smiles along the way and seeing what most others miss. Listen as he recounts his routes and share in his indominable spirit and determination to always see what's over the next horizon. And go where the wild geese go. Here on the Pedego Podcast and EBike Revolution. Right here on Orange County's only community radio station, OC TALK RADIO. Streaming, not screaming talk radio.

As we continue to talk about Alzheimer’s disease, technological advancements have allowed physicians to detect early signs of this disease. Autopsies, brain scans and blood tests paved the way for physicians to finally identify cognitive disorders more accurately and thoroughly in a shorter span of time. Due to a lack of resources and know-how, the medical community used to focus only on treating sickness and disease instead of being proactive in the field of prevention. But as we are able to explore and discover new procedures and medical solutions to prevent future illnesses and complications, we have not only saved lives but have made good use of our resources as well.As we’ve discussed Cognivue and Aduhelm from the previous episodes, a new blood test called, “PrecivityAD™ test”, has been developed for patients with cognitive impairment and for those who are displaying early memory and thinking problems. This test help physicians to indirectly determine the presence of beta amyloid plaques in the brain by measuring this biomarker in the blood. Listen to Episode 8 as Dr. Dung Trinh is joined by our guest, Dr. Joel Braunstein, as they discuss this simple method to detect Alzheimer’s early on and the benefits this test can offer.Gain relevant information about the PrecivityAD test and how this can greatly help the medical field when you listen to Episode 8! Memorable Quotes:Just because someone has a genetic risk factor does not guarantee that they will get the disease. - Dr. Joel Braunstein40 percent of dementia cognitive decline can be modifiable through lifestyle changes. - Dr. Joel BraunsteinSleep is super important to allow your brain to rest. - Dr. Joel BraunsteinOther Resources:precivityad.comImportant Points:Mass spectrometry is used to measure the atomic weight of particles that are circulating in the brain, blood, and CSL. A blood test can potentially replace a more invasive and more expensive brain scan.Having the beta amyloid plaque in the brain doesn’t condemn you to the diagnosis of having Alzheimer’sThe "Six Pillars" to stimulate your brain and reduce the risk for Alzheimer’s: physical exercise, brain exercise, socialization, getting enough sleep, controlling other health conditions, and nutrition.About the Guests:Joel Braunstein, MD, MBA is the CEO and Co-founder of C2N Diagnostics, CEO of LifeTech Research, and founding CEO of Tivorsan Pharmaceuticals.

Robert Lyle Albin was born on January 14, 1941 in El Centro, California. He grew up in rural Missouri where he attended high school in the small town of Clinton, then worked to pay his own way through college over a seven year period that encompassed studies at the University of Missouri, Central Missouri State University and Missouri Valley College, where he received a B.A. degree in History and Political Science in 1965.
Following college Albin married his high school and college sweetheart, Karen Keck, and moved to Denver where he began a long career in business. He had more than fifty years of executive business experience beginning with the founding, initially with six partners, of what would become a world-wide sales and management training firm, American Salesmasters, Ltd. The firm presented large sales rallies annually in thirty-five major cities throughout the United States, Canada and Australia featuring world-famous authors and speaker from the field of business. As the company expanded into eighteen countries around the world, the demand for American sales expertise led the company to also produce and market audio tapes, films and videos of America’s sales and management experts to clients from a variety of industries. Bob and Karen moved frequently while building the company, living in Los Angeles, Dallas, Washington, D.C. and Boston, but always considered Denver as their home.
Albin was retained as CEO of American Salesmasters after its sale to a public company in 1980 before leaving to launch a management consulting firm, Albin Management Consultants, in 1982. The new firm provided sales and management consulting expertise to a variety of organizations such as law firms, international accounting firms, construction companies, technology companies, financial services companies and professional sports franchises.
The firm was sold in 1995 to First Data Corp., then a Fortune 500 New York Stock Exchange company. Albin followed the acquisition to First Data where he was named division president for Domestic Retail Services, responsible for MoneyGram, a worldwide money transfer company, and American Express Money Orders. He later became President of First Data Payment Services and Chief Operating Officer of Western Union North America.
Albin is a recognized authority on sales and general management, and for most of his career was a paid professional speaker on these topics. He was a charter member of the National Speakers Association headquartered in Phoenix. Active in the Denver community throughout his career, Albin served on more than thirty boards of directors of both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. He is a past chairman of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce, Mountain States Employers Council, the Mile High United Way Campaign, Junior Achievement of the Rocky Mountains and the Mayor’s Committee for Design of the New Denver Airport (DIA). Albin is a past national president of the Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta (widely known as “Fiji”) based in Lexington, Kentucky with undergraduate chapters at over 170 colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada. In 1978 Bob Albin initiated a study of Denver’s existing airport, Stapleton International, to determine the remaining life of the facility. This exhaustive study led to various economic and site location studies over the next few years regarding a potential replacement of the airport. A new site was ultimately chosen, approved by voters in the two affected counties, and Denver International Airport was to become the new Denver airport. Albin was named chairman of the design committee for the new facility, capping his seventeen years of volunteer leadership to make the airport a reality.
Albin and his wife, Karen, divide their time between homes in Denver and San Diego. He is a long-time member and past director of both Cherry Hills Country Club in Denver and Pauma Valley Country Club in the San Diego, California area.

Who is your favorite famous personality, writer, actor, politician? Isn’t that an easy ice breaker for a small group discussion? I’m guessing your mind is already wondering to that person, thinking of favorite anecdotes you have about them on the tip of you tongue. But now imagine you have the opportunity to introduce this person to the world, not just with words, but you get to play the part in a movie about them. Today, we welcome stage and screen actor, Max McLean, a man whose credits are easily found on Google, or better yet at the Fellowship for the Performing Arts web page: fpatheater.com, where Max is the founder & artistic director. He is here today because in just a handful of days, on November 3rd, there is a major one day release of a compelling movie telling the untold story of C.S. Lewis entitled, “The Most Reluctant Convert.” Welcome Max McLean. https://www.churchhurtsand.org Closing: Closing: A few words before we close. What church should you go to? “And above all, you must be asking which door is the true one; not which pleases you best by its paint and panelling…the question should never be: ‘Do I like that kind of service?’ but ‘Are these doctrines true: Is holiness there? Does my conscience move me towards this? Is my reluctance to move to this door due to my pride, or my mere taste, or my personal dislike for this particular door-keeper?” ― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity In my lifetime I have observed faith in God moving from a rather passive assumption in the culture around me, to a rather passive irrelevance. “Which church do you go to?” is a question with far more assumptions than a modern American would now make. Atheists have claimed the high ground in academia, somehow assuming they have won the day, disinterested in revisiting arguments from antiquity which allowed theism to dominate in world history. In my world I come across a lot of atheists and less courageous agnostics. When allowed the chance I often express to them my envy of their assurance. I tell them I might be willing to join them, but I just can’t get there intellectually. This usually causes them pause. That’s their line. “Did he just say he can’t get to atheism intellectually?” What they don’t know is that I don’t believe they came to a belief in the absence of God intellectually either. It doesn’t take a genius to look at a sunset and have a pretty strong intuition that this didn’t come from nothing, or chance which is another word for nothing. As prayers are cancelled in public gatherings, I haven’t noticed many hospitals and senior centers asking for fewer chaplains. When one is waiting for results of the cancer screening, I don’t know many calling out to the local atheist society for help. In you are reluctant to follow thinking which could land you in the camp of Christ followers, perhaps it would be worth the time to meet one of your predecessors. His name is C.S. Lewis. You can find him in the movie “The Most Reluctant Convert.” Oh, and don’t be surprised if he becomes a rather good friend. It’s Worth a Thought For Church Hurts And, this is John Bash. Go and enjoy God today.
Two of the most important issues in administering a medication are the right patient and the right drug. Correct medications must be strictly given to the right patient and doctors must ensure that the medications given are up to date and as prescribed to prevent drug errors. Not all medications work for everyone so it is crucial to diagnose the patient correctly to prescribe the correct medicine for them. This is why healthcare is rapidly moving towards precision medicine. Precision medicine, also known as personalized medicine, is at its core for matching the right drug for the right patient. It offers a greater understanding of diseases and finds the intervention and treatment that best suits the patient’s needs by focusing on their genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Some studies show that many diseases are linked to genetic mutations thus, genes play a big role in how a certain disease starts.As we talk about the future of medicine, Dr. Dung Trinh is joined by the Principal Investigator of the All of Us Research Program, Dr. Hoda Anton-Culver, to share how their program works and how it focuses on collaborating with populations who are traditionally underrepresented in biomedical research. To shape the future of medicine, they welcome everyone to participate in this study regardless of culture, gender, and nationality.Participating in research like this is a great opportunity not only for your benefit but could also shape the future of medicine for the next generation. Click the play button and learn more about what this research is all about! Memorable Quotes:“We are looking for any single condition, and characteristic that’s why we have availability to huge data.” - Dr. Hoda Anton-Culver“Not everyone responds to a medication the same way.” - Dr. Hoda Anton-Culver“We cannot treat every patient with the same cookie cutter.” - Dr. Dung TrinhOther Resources:https://allofus.health.uci.edu/Important Points:Everyone is welcome to participate in the All of Us Research ProgramThe scope of the All of Us program covers different topics such as diet, health, family history of the disease, environmental factors, and more.The program doesn’t target testing for a particular disease but focuses on genetic information, lifestyle activities, and nutrition.About the Guests:Hoda Anton-Culver, Ph.D., is the principal investigator of All of Us Research Program, the founding director of Genetic Epidemiology Research Institute, and a professor in the Department of Medicine School of Medicine, UCI Health.

Show Notes Throughout my life I have learned that often, before I can learn something new, I have to first Unlearn something else, something that gets in the way of my personal development. And that can mean letting go of deeply held beliefs. Unfortunately, many people have a difficult time letting go of old beliefs because it is too risky. This is not the case with Adam Hall, today’s guest on The Next Chapter with Charlie. Adam’s new book, Divine Genius: The Unlearning Curve, takes us deep into the land of unlearning as a means to embrace different and even more helpful truths. Adam has a fascinating personal story of seeking deep life changes necessary for living the most fulfilled life—a story which calls for a nourishing and Adventurist journey to the ancient regions of South America… a land of great mystery and learning.

Alzheimer’s is a brain disease that destroys the cognitive health of a person through memory, thinking skills, and ability to do simple tasks. It is one of the top five leading causes of death in Orange Country and the most common type of dementia. After a "drought" of 18 years, pharmaceutical giant Biogen has finally found a treatment that is currently the only disease-modifying medication FDA approved to treat Alzheimer’s disease.As a newly approved Biogen drug, Aduhelm targets the protein beta-amyloid and helps reduce amyloid plaque in the brain. This plaque builds up over time as it interrupts the communication between brain cells resulting in cognitive decline leading to dementia. Aduhelm is a monoclonal antibody that works by crossing the blood-brain barrier, binding to the amyloid beta plaque in the brain, and initiating an immune system cascade that removes the plaque. We’ve invited John Dwyer in this episode to talk about Aduhelm, its risk vs benefit, how it works, and how this can make a significant change among people with Alzheimer’s. John Dwyer is the President of Global Alzheimer’s Platform Foundation, a non-profit organization that focuses on accelerating clinical trial participation for those afflicted with Alzheimer’s. Listen to Episode 6, as we share valuable information in treating Alzheimer’s disease!Memorable Quotes:Primary care physicians and neurologists still don’t know all the Alzheimer's clinical trials that are currently available. - John DwyerThe country is blessed with a very conscientious, ethical, and thoughtful medical community. - John DwyerSome medications may not work for everyone. - Dr. Dung TrinhOther Resources:clinicaltrials.gov Irvine Clinical Researchglobalalzplatform.orgImportant Points:Adulhem is a Biogen drug designed to reduce the accumulation of beta-amyloid plaqueBeta-amyloid plaque potentially interrupts communication between brain cells that results in cognitive decline and is believed to be associated with Alzheimer’s. Adulhem works by crossing the blood-brain barrier and locating "Alzheimer's plaque" in the brain. It activates the immune system to remove Amyloid-beta plaque.About the Guests:John Dwyer is the President of Global Alzheimer’s Platform Foundation, a serial healthcare entrepreneur, served as the co-founder and Chairman of Telcare, Inc., and co-founded Us Against Alzheimer’s.

Quality care is no longer a utopian concept of society. As technology continues to advance and innovation widens, medical treatments and procedures enable healthcare providers to give the utmost quality care to their patients. As the saying goes, “Prevention is better than cure”. Technology can be utilized to automatically detect risk in a patient’s health and recommend possible solutions for different kinds of diseases.The healthcare system has been so immersed in diagnosing and treating diseases that sometimes, it forgets to emphasize the importance of early detection and prevention to minimize the number of patients being diagnosed and treated for various diseases and medical conditions. Not only can an emphasis on prevention save lives, but also help lessen a patient's healthcare expenses since they can start the precautionary measures by changing their lifestyles and diets. As we continue to talk about Alzheimer’s disease, we’ve invited Dr. Fred Ma to talk about how Cognivue works in detecting and preventing cognitive impairment. People with cognitive impairment find it difficult to remember, learn, concentrate, and make new decisions. Symptoms range from mild to severe progressing to dementia left untreated. Cognivue is a computerized Cognitive Assessment system designed to assess a patient’s ability in the major functions of the brain such as motor function, visual function, perceptual preset processing, and memory testing. Cognivue hopes to play a role in early detection of cognitive decline with a goal of early proactive treatment. Learn more about the benefits of this innovation when you listen to this episode.Memorable Quotes:It's the 21st century and now is the time to be aware that prevention is important. - Dr. Fred MaWe cannot prevent what we cannot detect. - Dr. TrinhOnce you pay attention to the early detection of cognitive impairment, it can contribute to preventing further worsening of data. - Dr. Fred MaAn ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. - Dr. Dung TrinhImportant Points:Neurodegenerative is a pathological process evolving over time.Alzheimer’s is possibly preventable in the future if mass awareness and early detection programs are implemented across the board.An Alzheimer's patient takes up a lot more Medicare resources than a non-Alzheimer’s patient because of the decline of health over time.Alzheimer’s is an epidemic.About the Guests:Fred Ma, MD, Ph.D., is the Chief Medical Officer and Senior Vice President of Cognivue, Inc., the most recent president and chief operating officer of Innovative Health Sciences, has served as chief medical officer for KORU Medical Systems, Innovacyn, and GE Healthcare, as well as leadership roles within Johnson & Johnson, Merck and more.About the Host:Dung Trinh, MD is the Chief Medical Officer of Irvine Clinical Research, medical missionary with TongueOut Medical Missions, and holds leadership positions with multiple health care organizations in Orange County.

Show Notes My very special guest today: Wendy Darling is the founder of the Miraculous Living Institute, a personal and professional growth organization. In our conversation today Wendy and I plan to talk about how to overcome the restrictive notions of thinking that “it’s too late for me create the life I want.” Surprisingly this limiting idea not only applies to those who are growing old. I know people in their 30’s and 40’s that feel the same way. And Wendy is here to help. Wendy writes: “I know what it’s like to keep trying to “make” life work. I know what it’s like to feel empty and lonely. I know what it’s like to run out of steam, wondering if my dreams were ever going to come true. I cannot even imagine how much ice cream, dark chocolate, and boxes of Kleenex I’ve used throughout the years.” Wendy knows what it’s like to lose confidence in yourself and she offers very practical advice on how to overcome. With that let’s enjoy our time together with Wendy Darling.

Luminaire bags, garden rocks with names positive thoughts, breaking a glow stick are some ways loved ones are acknowledged. This year is a little different in that it will be a virtual event. "As long as you speak my name I shall live forever." This episode of Living Hope is dedicated to Rosa's grandmother "Rosa Dominguez"
Economic and social disruption are two major causes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. It caused many changes globally that forced people to adjust to the new normal. Despite the circumstances, people find ways to fight the disruptions and perform the majority of the daily activities virtually like education, meetings, and checkups to prevent continuous transmission of the virus.Aside from the new normal, the demand on healthcare workers continues to rise due to a number of things: frontliners retiring early because of extreme exhaustion both psychologically and physically, and even worse, some died while on duty. Different things have changed and some medical circumstances have worsened e as a result of the virus impacting the health of many people. Compassion and love for people are two important virtues a healthcare provider should have. Helping people with the power of love does not only change a person’s life but also contributes to the betterment of society and the world.

Show Notes Today my guest, Faith Elicia, and I talk largely about the secret life of those caught in an addictive trap, especially the trap of food and eating disorders. Although Faith’s book, Do You See What I See, is focused on eating disorders, Faith is keen to point out that eating disorder in but another in the long line of addictions facing millions of people in the USA today. Faith talks about how addictions are often inherited or learned from parents and the way we were raised. In grossly dysfunctional families, many children have a very difficult time finding value in the worth as a person. Faith puts it this way: I need you to believe in me because I can’t believe in myself. Gaining self-confidence and self-worth are essential for breaking the addictive cycle.

Dementia is recorded as the seventh leading cause of death and one of the major causes of disability and dependency among older adults globally. Just like heart disease and cancer, dementia is an umbrella term for a set of syndromes that leads to deterioration in cognitive function. It is caused by the damage of brain cells that results in the inability to communicate, think, feel, or behave appropriately. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia that worsens over time. It kills the brain cells and leads to memory loss and cognitive decline. This disease is incurable and affects mainly people ages 65 years and older. Memories are beautiful and priceless. It strengthens our sense of self-identity and purpose, as well as our bonds with others. When these memories slowly fade, everything will change and that's why we need to have a support system to help guide us in living with someone who has this condition. Dr. Dung Trinh is joined by Jim McAleer to share his organization, “Alzheimer’s Orange County”, which provides hands-on care and support for patients with Alzheimer’s.A person with dementia is most likely to be socially isolated, less likely to exercise, forget medications, and less connected to society. And having a good support system can benefit the psychological aspect of that person suffering from this neuro-degenerative health condition. Don’t miss Episode 3 of Health Talks with Dr. Trinh to know what dementia is all about. Listen now!Memorable Quotes:Patients with Alzheimer's are still with us. It’s just the memories that are lost. - Jim McAleerSeniors with dementia are the most vulnerable in society. - Dr. Dung TrinhOther Resources Mentioned:Our GangAlzheimer’s Orange County Important Points:Learn a new game because your brain is very adaptable and you can keep your brain active.

“If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it.” - Margaret FullerWe all have physical voices, but the freedom of speech and the right to self-expression are rare privileges that aren’t necessarily available to other nations. That is why we must use our voice for good even more.To be able to use your voice and share your story is a chance to make someone feel that he or she is not alone. Although your life may seem ordinary to you, it may be extraordinary to someone else and sharing the story of your life may be a step in lifting others' lives.Learning the stories about poverty and social injustice will remind ordinary people that they are capable of lifting someone’s lives even through their smallest actions. Serving the poor and the differently-abled are some of the greatest humanitarian acts someone can provide for others in his or her lifetime.In this episode, we’ve invited the CEO of Share Our Selves, Dr. Jay Lee, to share with us what the organization is doing especially in this pandemic.

Florence Nightingale, the mother of nursing, has a theory called “Environmental theory” in which she believed that a healthy environment was fundamental for healing. A healthy environment means having clean water and air, basic sanitation, cleanliness, and light. This theory and her practices are still relevant up to these days and in fact our major weapon to fight against COVID-19. Air pollution is the world’s largest environmental health risk. It is linked to numerous death cases annually recorded. For this reason, it is important that the air we breathe is clean and safe from harmful pollution because clean air is essential for healthy lungs. Have you ever heard about airway hygiene? Dr. Dung Trinh is joined by Dr. David Edwards, Harvard scientist and inventor, to talk about airway hygiene and his invention named FEND. FEND is a new hygiene system that cleanses the upper respiratory airways to strengthen the immune system. It boosts the strength of the mucosal lining by washing the upper airways and eliminating airborne contaminants before they reach the lungs.It is important to stay healthy and be mindful of the cleanliness of our environment especially in this pandemic. Though it seems we are at the tail end, we cannot deny that future pandemics of various nature are imminent. Listen to this episode to know more as we dig into airway hygiene, how it works, and its importance. Memorable Quotes:Placing salt on your respiratory airways and breathing it through your nose can reduce the number of respiratory droplets. - Dr. David EdwardsSalt and water are in the air and they’re even more prominently in the air when you’re in the sea. - Dr. David EdwardsWhen the virus heads up to the olfactory nerve it destroys the ability to smell. - Dr. Dung TrinhOther Resources Mentioned:davidideas.comhellofend.comImportant Health Points:Droplet is the primary transmission of COVID-19 and is mostly coming out from upper airways.Water and salt coating our throat help our cilia lining to eliminate pollulant and virus, bacteria that invade our throat.FEND puts salt in your upper airways through inhalation.When you get a virus invading your throat, FEND may help your upper respiratory system "clean out" the offending virusA salty environment helps sanitize your upper airways.About the Guests:Dr. David Edwards is a scientist and inventor from Harvard University.

Show Notes On our show with Lindsay Davis today we explore the very core of human existence. I think we can best sum it up with the words of psychologist Phil Sutherland, “As human beings, before we are anything else, we are a “burning ball of desire.” Lindsay and I probe the ROLE of burning desire in every single move we make. We ARE desire. We express desire. Without desire we are barely more than automatons. But with desire we are hungry. We are fruitful. And we can find extraordinary pleasure and productivity in life. And why should our lives NOT be pleasurable and productive? Let’s find out in my conversation with business, life and performance coach, Lindsay Davis. .

About Peter J. Burns III Peter J. Burns III is a serial entrepreneur, who has demonstrated time and time again that he has a keen eye for creating innovative businesses and partnerships. Based today in Del Mar, California, Burns grew up in a well-established New England family in New Canaan, Connecticut. He was briefly educated at the United States Military Academy Preparatory School at West Point, the University of Virginia (UVa), and finally the Harvard Business School's Owners and Presidents Management Program. While his two younger brothers went on to have successful business careers, Burns chose the life of an entrepreneur. Burns adds that his "official" career as an entrepreneur started as a result of his enrollment in an Entrepreneurship course at UVa's venerable McIntire School of Commerce. His business plan for that course was importing mopeds (motorized bikes) to the US from Europe and renting them to tourists at US resorts. “I executed my business plan on Nantucket after my class was over, made a small fortune and never looked back,” said Burns. Burns started hundreds of businesses over the next two decades. He then moved to Arizona in the early 2000s and became a pro bono adjunct faculty member at the highly respected Barrett Honors College at Arizona State University. In 2006, he took his teaching practice across town to Grand Canyon University and its entrepreneur-like founder Brent Richardson, where the two men would launch the nation’s first College of Entrepreneurship at GCU. “The spark behind the college was ignited only a month ago by Peter Burns, a self-made millionaire who is teaching entrepreneur education classes at Arizona State University's Barrett Honors College,” according to the Phoenix Business Journal. “Burns met with GCU Chief Executive Brent Richardson after, Burns says, ASU and its business school weren't interested in forming a program specifically targeting entrepreneurs.” In recognition of his work, Burns was honored by the Arizona chapter of the Future Business Leaders of America its Businessperson of the Year in 2007. Shortly thereafter, he started Club Entrepreneur as a way to bring entrepreneurs together in an “open-source entrepreneurship” platform. The Phoenix chapter attracted 10,000 members. In 2016, Burns moved to the West Coast and started Burns Funding as a way to help entrepreneurs secure hard-to-get funding for their businesses. Burns is the father of two daughters and four granddaughters, which he credits as an influence for his latest or most innovative venture – Millennial Queenmaker, an emerging company that helps young women become successful entrepreneurs.

In 1993, Mr. Vannoy wrote a book called The 10 Greatest Gifts I Give My Children based on his personal parenting journey and the journeys of other parents. He approached many top publishers to get the book into the hands of other parents. After countless rejections, he self-published the book. Because of strong reviews and strong word of mouth, the book quickly climbed to the top five best-sellers in Colorado. Before long, those same publishers entered into a bidding war to republish it. Steven chose Simon and Schuster, and it quickly became one of their all-time best-selling parenting books.
Steven became one of the most sought-after speakers for various associations and organizations, such as the National School Counselors Association, National Pediatrics Association, National Housing Authorities Directors, and hundreds of school districts who used his program for teacher in-service days. He also held open seminars for parents and grandparents who saw the value in the tools discussed in his book.
Other parenting books are often written by referencing experts and clinical research in the field. The distinction of The 10 Greatest Gifts I Give My Children is that it goes to the source of parenting: parents and grandparents in the trenches. This book was created not only by Steven’s personal experiences in transformative parenting but also by the valuable information he gleaned from over 400 focus groups and thousands of family interviews. Many of these accounts appear in the book, prompting parents to learn from each other.
Not long after the rise in the demand for his speaking engagements, a former participant asked Steven, “Your book saved my family. Do you have anything that will help my corporation? “Knowing that these tools had a transformative effect on adults, Steven started a company called Pathways to Leadership to teach the tools for corporate leadership. Its mission continues today — engaging organizations who want to see their employees work and morale soar. Many Fortune 100 companies such as Procter & Gamble, Nestle, Ford Motors, and many others have adopted the wellness concepts of Verus Global as their primary leadership approach.
In 2018 Steven Vannoy founded and became the Executive Director of our new nonprofit The 10 Greatest Gifts Project. Mr. Vannoy and many of our team members had retired and literally sailed off into the sunset. Others were already busy with new careers or serving at other nonprofits. The one thing they all have in common? A deep belief that building healthy families is the number one thing we can do to build our healthy future. A belief so strong that they all shifted their priorities and schedules.
Our team knew they had to create a new business model. The Verus Global model is very effective at uplifting families and organizations but in very small quantities. Not impacting the 50 million-plus people The 10 Greatest Gifts Project aspires to impact. Our team knew a new approach had to be pioneered. In the next 10 years, The 10 Greatest Gifts project will train, certify and coach 1000 dedicated presenters delivering a transformational program that will soon be uplifting over one million family members per year. These family members will then utilize a one-of-a-kind, entertaining app that will support their continuing mastery and usage of the 10 Greatest Gifts tools and concepts… mastery that will lead to their children growing up with priceless character and qualities and values.
The 10 Greatest Gifts Project aims to gift parents and grandparents with these valuable tools and continue a deep connection so that these concepts become second nature. We desire to see people so excited about the tools they gain, they’re eager to share them with their friends and family!

Join us for another amazing journey here on the PEDEGO PODCAST as we talk with Aaron Maynard who bought a Pedego in London back in 2013 when he was a Colonel in the US Air Force on assignment at the US EMBASSY there. Whole idea was to get to work faster thru the maze of London traffic (and maybe enjoy some exercise and fresh air along the way). Which led instead to him exploring the alleys and "Penny Lanes" of this historic city. And eventually to return to his roots in South Carolina (after he retired) to open a Pedego Electric Bike store in Myrtle Beach. Leaving the Air Force to lead a new type of charge...

Creating Hand-Crafted Cannabis Content Medical cannabis can make profound changes in people’s lives, and we’re here to share their stories. Like tales told around a campfire, people respond to stories that connect and engage them. We’re bringing this concept to educational marketing content for cannabis brands, companies, and products. We feel it’s essential to help rebrand cannabis, moving away from the stoner stereotype. Philip recently launched Don’t Strain Yourself, a patient-focused platform to educate adults age 40+ about medicinal cannabis. He shares stories from patients, medical professionals, and cannabis experts. You can also watch the videos on the GottaStory Video Page. As an industry, we must first be a community. To that end, empathy and compassion drive everything that Gotta Story Media creates. Philip’s ethos is to lend a hand when needed, and he relishes doing so. Philip creates educational marketing content for cannabis companies, products, and brands, via digital video, podcasts, and articles. He formed Gotta Story Media in 2018 and recently launched a new video platform entitled Don’t Strain Yourself. By sharing patient stories and advice from medical professionals, DSY educates adults age 40+ about medicinal cannabis. Philip began his media career creating educational TV for NASA, and he's been fortunate to work in marketing, public relations, and entertainment in digital and broadcast endeavors. Philip also created content for non-profit organizations such as the American Heart Association Los Angeles, the American Red Cross, the Flying Samaritans, and the Aquarium of the Pacific. Philip served as a two-term president of the American Marketing Association Los Angeles. As such, he exercised leadership skills, created its podcast series and blog, drafted weekly email content, hosted conferences, and moderated monthly educational panels. When he is not behind a video camera, Philip is either with his amazing family or racing through the Southern California mountains on Triumph motorcycles.

Tired of feeling judged by Christians? Stay tuned as we look at God, Golf, and Grace with Dr. Doug Rehberg. I have seen huge cultural shifts in my time, a comment worthy of one who admits to being an old curmudgeon. One of those shifts was in the role and status of the clergyman. When growing up, the clergy was among the most respected professions in America. A local minister was revered in a way, often asked to open public meetings in prayer, provide benedictions at political functions, sought after for wisdom in times of crisis, and appreciated for his willingness to visit shut-ins, perform funerals, and preside over weddings. Often his counsel was even desired the way professional therapists are today. While historically clergy have been among the most educated people in society for over two thousand years, they have also been notoriously underpaid, treated at times as “the help,” tipped a little extra at Christmas, or recipients of extra vegetables from the garden. There were other benefits as well, sometimes including a home while they served the church, along with a coveted free membership at the local country club, or at least the opportunity to play on Mondays when courses were traditionally closed. Early in my ministry, I discovered those days were fading, which isn’t saying I didn’t pine away wishing for them to return. Ministry, as a “profession” was being stained daily by abuses as educational qualifications for ordination, were watered down by many independent and congregational churches. Today we have a guest a man who straddled that generational gap as well as any I know. Highly respected in his community, he honored his country club for their generosity to him. He used their fairways to minister to many, and find refreshment for his own soul. Let’s welcome the Reverend Dr. Doug Rehberg, author of the new book, “God, Golf and Grace.

Show Notes After a couple months of hiatus, I am so pleased to welcome back my friend and frequent podcast guest Terry Hershey. In today’s show Terry and I discuss the mostly American need for the overuse of superlatives in our daily speech. In this episode we talk about words like “great,” and “best” and “favorite.” Why is it when asked “how you doing” we commonly fall back to the phrase, “Great. I’m doing great!” Really??? How can you be doing great—all the time. Or what about “what is your favorite movie? Huh, before Covid I went to the movies twice a week. How could I possibly have a favorite? Instead, Terry suggests that it might be better if we were to give ourselves, “The Permission to be Ordinary.” And with regard to Ordinariness Terry goes so far as to suggest that “The ordinary is the hiding place of the holy.” Wow! That is SO true. Please enjoy our conversation with my ever so insightful friend, Terry Hershey. Visit Terry at www.terryhershey.com .

Agi and Ron met by chance when Agi’s father coached Ron’s son’s soccer team. Little did they know that on that day they would meet, fall in love and marry 3 months later. Ron was a real dynamite of a man, they balanced each other immediately. Ron was a thinker and Agi was a doer. Partners in life, partners in business and partners in fighting pancreatic cancer. Losing Ron was devastating but, Agi refused to give up on what they had been fighting for. They were fighting for a cure, they were fighting to live. After Ron’s death, Agi immediately took her pain and grief and turned it into something positive, the start of a foundation in memory of the man she loved. Agi's daughter, Lisa had a promising career of her own. Wanting to support her mother she agreed to help with the foundation while she was on maternity leave. Though she fully intended to go back and pursue her career, 20+ years later Lisa is now the Executive Director for the Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research and Co-Founder of the annual event Tour de Pier. Agi, not one to let any grass grow under her feet started working on the foundation immediately after Ron’s death in May 1997. In July, that same year, the Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research was born. When asked what pearls of wisdom Agi could share with other Caregivers – "Have your moments, not just the disease. Your life is not about the disease, it’s about your relationship and about how you love each other."

Kathy is the Integrator at Radial Inc and, quite frankly, one of the main reasons our software brand Traction® Tools took flight. After joining forces with Todd Smart as his executive assistant in 2013, she helped catapult Smart Partners, Inc. into a thriving entrepreneurial company. By that time, Kathy’s love affair with EOS® was a done deal. A few years later when the saucy little startup Traction Tools appeared on the EOS scene, Kathy switched gears and focused her attention on making Traction Tools an operational success. Her work at Traction Tools has been described by our Visionary as “akin to transforming an airplane into a rocket ship—mid-flight.” She harnessed and directed our energy toward rapid growth, as she's continued to do with each new venture we've launched.

Have you ever had something happen to you which has haunted you for your entire life? Playing in the woods was my favorite part of childhood in suburban Pittsburgh. As those years passed, the woods continued to provide new discoveries, new paths, new creatures, and invited adventures created by developing adolescent minds. Tadpoles and insects soon came to be replaced by the thought of building our place of habitation, free from adult eyes, nasty weather, and a safe refuge from the watching world. Finding the right spot took many weeks of roaming through the trees, wanting to be close enough to civilization to provide easy access, but far enough in to be hidden even during the winter months when the leaves were gone. Of course, we didn't want to dig too much; a level spot would be ideal. Imagine going through the design and materials stage with the resources of early teens. As you might imagine, all of this was facilitated by the slowing sprawling suburban neighborhood. New construction was asking for little boys to come to steal a few sheets of plywood, 2x4s, and nails. I undertook this project with my partner, Jim, whose father was an attorney. My dad was an insurance man. That's my way of suggesting our trade skills were at best lacking, as was proven by the result. But we had a shack, and we were proud of it. Over the years of life, I have remained handyman-challenged, constantly in need of friends with developed skills and knowledge. But I have also come to appreciate those who design in the mind structures which provide the walls we live within. Boring designs make me yawn. Poor construction, I find repulsive. Yet somehow, there seems to be a connection between our view of life and the buildings we build and live in. Perhaps they even say something about God. Today we have a guest who can make sense out of these meanderings, welcome Architect Ron Thomas to Church Hurts And. Dr. John Bash is a shepherd with Standing Stone, a ministry that ministers to ministers, a need as important in this time as any in our lifetime.

What happens when you take two people out of their comfort zone and turn the tables? Special guest Dawn Kamber, Public Affairs Director and Host of “Impact OC” is usually on the other side of the mic. Dawn interviews guests who impact Orange County in a positive way. We turned the tables when we asked Dawn to share her journey with pancreatic cancer which started with a simple media release. Even being in the media, like most, Dawn had never heard of pancreatic cancer until she heard Michael Landon had been diagnosed. Why aren’t we hearing more about the disease before reading it in the obituary? What do we need to do to get and keep pancreatic cancer in the media forefront and not just when a celebrity is involved? Why does someone who doesn’t have a personal connection with pancreatic cancer become involved?

For those of you that may not know, Marcus Welby, M.D. was a medical drama show that aired from 1969 to 1976. Dr Welby was a family practitioner, with a great bedside manner, kind heart and made house calls! How do Doctors of today compare to the Dr Welby's of yesteryear? Why do some give you a heartbreaking diagnosis only to leave you on your own? Are they embarrassed, or do they feel like they failed because once you reach a certain point they can no longer help you? How do some Doctors handle the diagnosis of a deadly disease? What are they taught in medical school? Many of you have expressed these same questions.

Show Notes Hi All. Charlie Hedges here. Today’s show is sort of a potpourri of life learnings with Christina Dylag. Christina is the author of a new book, Tiny Little Boxes, which is a very delightful journey into the thoughts of a brilliant young woman.

It reads: “How to Cope with Existential Dread by Way of Ice Cream and Other Things.” In this episode Christina and I chat about the Velveteen Rabbit, a very unique cocktail lounge she and her sister started in Las Vegas, Nevada. But mostly we engage in a discussion on her witty and friendly philosophical ponderings about life, the universe and everything (to quote Douglas Adams). This is such a fun show.

So how do a husband (who's recently sold his auto repair business) and his Yoga teacher wife find success and happiness in the next chapter of their life? These empty nesters leave the rat race behind and join the Electric Bicycle Revolution. Becoming Pedego's latest (and fastest growing) dedicated dealer in Santee, CA. Doing what they love. And loving what they do with their first family business that includes both husband and wife, a couple of kids and even a cousin or two. As Greg describes it, "as much as I loved the auto repair business, every customer that came into my store was stressed. And when my repairs were over, they secretly hoped they'd never see me again. Now every customer that I meet ends up with a big smile on their face. And they come back over and over again as we share rides together and they hang out at our store." A totally different "customer interaction". Or as his wife Stephanie says, "I spent my life as a stay-at-home mom raising two boys. And helping people thru my Yoga and Reiki healing. Now I get to channel that energy into another form of helping and healing by putting people back onto a bike and getting them active and social again" "And adding a big smile to their face," beams Greg. Another couple who's found a path to happiness by opening a family run, community focused fun business to ride them thru the next chapter in their life. Only on the PEDEGO PODCAST: Riding the EBike Revolution. On Orange County's only community radio station, OC TALK RADIO.

Ever faced pain? I mean real pain, deep pain, defining pain? Stay tuned as we look today at “Deep Pain with Dr. Mark Talbot” author of “When the Stars Disappear”. Church Hurts And is a listener-supported podcast. Go to ChurchHurtsAnd.org and click on the DONATE button to become part of our support team. There was one wooded winding road at the bottom of a hill right at the midpoint of my 20-minute jaunt to Jim’s house. It seemed like a long way in my early teens, traversing the way only teens can do, unabashedly combining quick sprints, slow jogs, periodic skipping, and rarely a normal walking gait. Somehow this hollow at the bottom of the hill at the end of Murdstone Road seemed special, the terrain prohibiting the constant suburban sprawl for a few hundred yards as the woods grew wild. By this point in my journey, I was ready for some deeper reflection, a safe distance from the place of my fear called home. Few would have guessed the content of the conversation I permitted myself to speak out loud in this private hollow. Almost always it was filled with prayerful questions reflecting confusion about the pain and fear I lived in on Murdstone Road, one of the least safe places I ever have experienced in life. I asked God to do things on that stretch of road I would never have done in public. “Please God, just lift me up and transport me ten feet so I can know you really exist.” I’d close my eyes as I continued walking, waiting to feel the lift, and then laughing at my own silliness. I knew God didn’t play those games, but I thought it would be nice and surely strengthen my faith in the midst of the pain nightmare I called home. Pain comes in a lot of forms. We could begin putting adjectives in front of the noun and be here all day, or we could turn it into an adjective and talk about all of the painful people, experiences, churches, muscles, thoughts…you get the idea. So today we turn for help to an unusual place. A real philosopher of all things. Let’s welcome Dr. Mark Talbot to Church Hurts And. Dr. Mark Talbot encourages support of www.christianscholarsfund.org. Dr. John Bash is a shepherd with Standing Stone, a ministry that ministers to ministers, a need as important in this time as any in our lifetime.

Today we are reaching back to a guest we had on the show about one year ago, my son Austin Hedges. Austin is a professional baseball catcher for the Cleveland Indians. After nearly a decade of playing since graduating high school for the San Diego Padres, he was traded in late August to the Cleveland Indians. What I hope to chat about today has to do with both the inner emotional roller coaster ride, of ups and downs, family life, professional life and the place of dreams in the most competitive of environments. This show will be a “behind the scene” view of what it is like to be both hero as well as unappreciated. Fans are fickle and they frequently feel the right to express their opinions: many positive and some not so positive. In addition I want to get into “life during the season” and “life during the off-season.” For more with Charlie Hedges please visit www.thenextchapter.life
In episode one, we heard the story of how Don DiCostanzo (founder of Pedego Electric Bikes) discovered a niche and a need for electric bikes (particularly among aging baby boomers who loved the fun of riding a bike again but struggled getting back up the hill and back home after their adventure was over). And how he created a "proof of concept store" to prove he could sell them next to the Crab Cooker on Balboa Peninsula (here in OC). But how did that lead Don to start opening MORE stores and build his own dedicated dealer network (a rarity even in today's EBike business)? Meet Tom Bock, another aging baby boomer seeking a fun and profitable "lifestyle business" he could use to ride out the next chapter in his life. Who walked into Don's life at a trade show and said "I want to be your first dealer". And how (together) they figured out the whole dealer formula and turned it into the remarkable success it's become today (as they near 200 Pedego dealers nationwide...with double that number planned in the next few years). Listen to Tom's passion for the product and his sound reasoning why he sees Pedego's dealer network continuing to grow (even in a world where brick and mortar stores are contracting). Due to their multi-pronged strategy of sales, service and rentals (a big part of how they get people to try before they buy and pay for their retail store concept). It's all here in this week's second episode of The Pedego Podcast: Riding the EBike Revolution. On Orange County's only community radio station, OC TALK RADIO. Streaming live from the University of California's BEALL APPLIED INNOVATION CENTER Thursdays at noon PT.

Show Notes My guest today is author Richard (Rick) Stone, an expert in the power of story. His book Story Intelligence challenges the fact-based portrayals that we commonly use to describe ourselves and our companies. Instead Rick is a convincing advocate of the use of “story” as opposed to facts. Rick suggests that we are, in truth, a composite of the stories or narratives we tell ourselves about ourselves. YOUR Story matters. In fact, Rick Stone has convinced me of the life-altering power of personal narratives. Rick has impacted me personally in a huge way. Join me as Rick reminds us of a long-ignored discipline of knowing, owning, and paying attention to your own story. For more on Story Intelligence you can visit Rick’s website at www.storywork.com Check out his book, Story Intelligence. For more on Charlie please go to www.thenextchapter.life.
Join us for the inaugural PEDEGO PODCAST with Don DiCostanzo discussing the many epiphanies that led him to start his own electric bike company and turn it into one of the biggest brands in America (all based here in OC). Recalling how he saw the need in his own life (trying to ride down to the beach and then back up the hill). Which led him to test the concept by opening a small shop next to the Crab Cooker on Balboa Peninsula to see if he could sell a few. And with that "proof of concept" set out to build his own bikes and a dedicated dealer network (a first for this industry) that's closing in on 200 stores. Ride along as he recalls it all in what he describes as just the first inning of this EBike Revolution. Here on Orange County's only community radio station, OC TALK RADIO. Streaming live from the University of California Irvine's BEALL APPLIED INNOVATION CENTER. Brought to you by PEDEGO Electric Bikes.

Show Notes As Covid 19 restrictions begin to shrink (at least in California in June of 2021), let’s prepare ourselves for an onslaught of “Post Covid Therapies.” Well, today’s conversation with Personal Business and Life Coach, Kamin Samuel, jumps right into the heart of that conversation. Our topic for the day is “Reinventing Your Life Post Covid.” Kamin and I will discuss the idea that “reinventing your life” is more about reprioritizing than it is about major changes. Of the many insights Kamin brings to us, we discuss three excellent questions that Kamin posed to me concerning what I may have learned about my work and my life during Covid: (1) Did I love my work?

Have you ever had something happen to you which has haunted you for your entire life? Forgiving the Nightmare with Mark Sowersby “I really don’t like Bob. He’s rather arrogant and aloof I think.” “Oh, he’s not that bad if you get to know him.” “Well, who would want to get to him? He’s a jerk.” “Well, he’s been through a lot in life. Give him a break.” Who among us has not had a conversation like this? I heard it so often when I was younger I got sick of it, but it got me thinking. What is it about people who manifest unattractive relational skills which drive people away, but whom underneath can be really nice people? And since I don’t have the time to get to know everybody, what should I learn about how I should behave? Now that could be a book, but let me jump to the conclusion. Every person you meet has a story. Part of that story will probably include some very vulnerable life-changing events or relationships which made an indelible imprint upon them. I am not talking about the kind of things that come up in a two-minute cocktail party introduction. “Hi. My name is John and I had an evil stepmother who defined my childhood. How are you?” That isn’t how it works, is it? But then there are those rare moments, those times in life when another opens up to you in a moment of vulnerability. They wouldn’t be doing this if a certain amount of trust hadn’t already been built. And then it comes. You hear a bit of their nightmare. Everything changes. They wonder if you will run away, ask more questions, or be frozen by the reality of it all. Today we have someone with a real nightmare and the courage to bring it into the light. He’s even discovered some life principles which others have used to get them through their own nightmares. Let’s welcome Pastor Mark Sowersby to Church Hurts And.

Ed began his career working in industrial models and design in the late 1980's, fabricating prototypes and scale representations for government and private industries. In the early 1990's, Ed moved into manufacturing and industrial equipment, working as a production designer and manager in a factory setting. In the latter part of the 1990s, Ed served as VP of sales for a manufacturer of industrial printing and automation equipment, at a pivotal time when sales and marketing were beginning to move into the online arena. In 1997, Ed started New Media, an Internet services company offering web hosting, colocation, e-Commerce programming and payment processing services as a part-time effort. As the business evolved it became a full-time endeavor, with colocation and carrier services becoming a major focus. Eventually New Media was transformed into Connex Internet Services Inc, a colocation and Internet transit provider serving five regional US markets and beyond, utilizing the skills of dozens of engineers and technical staff. In January of 2014, Datacate and Connex merged into one company, with Ed taking on full-time sales and marketing duties. The new Datacate gained a more diverse client base and multi-site capability. While continuing to serve the needs of the colocation marketplace, Ed and his colleagues at Datacate are forging ahead into the decentralized future of a virtual and cloud-based computing universe. In November of 2016, Ed added business development for BlueDAG LLC to his responsibilities. BlueDAG's flagship ADA assessment software, delivered via the cloud to desktop and mobile devices, is a revolutionary development in the ADA compliance industry, with the power to reduce the time required to complete an accessibility audit by as much as 75%. Ed oversees the direct marketing and awareness initiatives to bring BlueDAG to the ADA compliance industry. For more information about Datacate go to https://www.datacate.net/
Mark Williams has taken an interesting approach to business all his life. When he was 16 and needed a job, he walked into a small, local business and told the owner, “I’ll make you a deal,” give me two weeks. At the end of two weeks, you can either hire me on and pay me or not pay me and send me home.” He got the job.
As the CEO of Brokers International, a major insurance brokerage, Mark works every day to create a culture of transparent and authentic communication between those customers who he considers his true customers - employees, vendors, distributors and clients.
Business Background
He has spent his entire business career in the insurance world, working his way up the ranks from positions such as director of national sales and marketing for a top tier life and accident insurance company to overseeing sales on a regional level as a vice president to president of a financial marketing firm before going to Brokers International - first as chief of sales and one year later being promoted to president and CEO.
His focus throughout his career has been to listen to the voice of the customer. He believes that intentional listening allows him to focus on where to explore new opportunities and take the calculated risks necessary to expand his company’s overall market share while enhancing sales and service.
He looks to data to support his decisions while sometimes questioning the analysis of data. He looks for patterns that others might miss to find actionable insights that offer solutions to some of his greatest challenges.
Mark is a leader who hires talented people and allows them to do great things. He is intrigued by the ever-changing landscape of technology, data, and the avenues that companies will deliver their products and services to the consumer.
It is this passion that keeps him researching, reading and exploring new technologies, and observing customer behaviour.
Education
Mark holds both NASD - Series 6 and 63 licenses as well as a BS degree in business from the University of Phoenix. For more information on Brokers International go to https://www.biltd.com/

Donations are tax-deductible, needed, and appreciated more than you know. Have you ever heard of Romantic Theology? Sounds good, doesn’t it? Let’s find out more with Dr. Michael J. Christensen. After becoming a Christian at the age of 13, I developed some habits and behaviors which could have been considered prudish, ironically quite contrary to my generally outgoing personality. Not committing adultery or fornication before marriage became my obsession for over a decade, carefully studying the meaning of the word, along with fornication, the way other teens might have devoured those certain National Geographics or hard to come by Playboys. How was a Christian adolescent survive a normal increase in testosterone which felt more like an abnormal bomb going off in my body? “Be careful of those things which could naturally lead to inappropriate sexual intimacy in your relationships with girls,” I heard from Rev. Bob Letzinger during a mid-winter conference at First Presbyterian Church in downtown Pittsburgh. Amazingly he confessed to having a climax the first time he ever held hands with a girl. His talk was famous, and we knew it was coming, but did he really say that? And he kept going, warning about the hugs which lasted too long, the times alone without accountability, the dates which lasted too late into the night. As if all of that wasn’t enough, my very best friend sitting next to me (who currently holds a very prestigious position as a professor of theology at a premier evangelical seminary) looked over at me and noticed the mark on my neck. He looked like he had seen a snake as his face turned red and his hands started to shake. Quietly and accusingly he pointed at it, trying not to be obvious as the speaker continued, “That’s a hickey,” he said with wide eyes. I hadn’t known about hickeys until the previous evening with my long-term high school girlfriend, Kathy. You remember those days, your first love, the power of attraction, the depth of longing. Could that tell us anything about God and the Church? Let’s ask Dr. Michael J. Christensen. professor of theology at Northwind Seminary.

Show Notes Today my friend Terry Hershey and I talk about his book, Soul Gardening, which after having written sixteen books, this one is his favorite. I have a feeling it is his favorite because it just might be a faithful autobiography of a man in search… of himself of what it means to embrace life on planet earth. The closing words of his book tells it all… “People who love this world, those who pay attention, are all gardeners. Because gardening is not just about digging or planting. Gardening is about cherishing.” Delightful. Let’s bring on Terry to tell us more.
Rosa Velasco's journey with pancreatic cancer began after learning her coworker’s wife was fighting this deadly disease. Instead of running away, Rosa ran towards Roberta and they soon became fast friends, “Besties.” Rosa and her husband Juan became a great source of support for Roberta and her husband Vic. During a PurpleLight in Orange County, a tribute to those affected by pancreatic cancer, Rosa, found out her grandmother died from the disease years earlier. Since learning about Roberta and her grandmother she has learned many of her coworkers have experienced pancreatic cancer in their lives as well. Rosa, a real-life Angel feels she gets more than she gives. Rosa is open, honest and vulnerable as she takes you through her journey and why she became, and stays involved with the world’s toughest cancer. Though she says, “its all about Roberta,” others like Lupe Romero, a six-year survivor before her death in 2019, touched her heart. Rosa wants to keep fighting for all survivors and for their families. Though the journey can be hard at times, it is a way to give back and can be a joyous ride as well. Rosa’s journey may cause you to shed some tears, but it will also bring some laughter and hopefully will encourage you to get involved. Listen to her journey here on OC Talk Radio, Orange County’s only community radio station. If you or anyone you know need help with their journey, please contact the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network’s Patient Services at 877-2-PANCAN.

If you are a jazz fan, you don’t want to miss this. If you aren’t, get ready to learn from an amazing man accomplished in a lot of ways. Today, bass virtuoso, John Patitucci. PREFACE: Reality, Jazz, AND Faith If you grew up in a church traditional at all, you will remember a worship component called the “offertory.” To me it seemed simply to be a time for the music director to show off his high-brow classical taste, sometimes with a soloist belting out with too much vibrato in a foreign language. With a little more reflection it seemed to be a programing sleight of hand designed to cover the exact amount of time it took the ushers to collect the offering before the organ abruptly broke into the Gloria Patri shaking the very foundation stones of the church with a refrain all knew and were able to sing along without looking at the words. Modern liturgies, which some would consider not liturgical at all, a conclusion with which I strongly disagree, lean toward something less repetitive. I remember one time in a mid-week service the offering was the last thing done before I was to get up and teach. That is the time for a preacher to compose himself, double-check that his zipper is up, make sure the notes are in order, and grab a moment of prayer remembering it isn’t about him. “Get out of yourself turkey,” my spirit would hear. But this Wednesday evening the music director introduced a guest musician to do a solo instrumental piece for the offering. Doesn’t sound too unusual, right? But the guest’s instrument was a bass. “This should be interesting,” I thought. And the bass had six strings, not four. Thankfully I would be getting up in a few minutes to save things if it was a flop. A few minutes later I walked up to the lectern, wiping tears from my eyes, wondering what had just happened. Nothing I could say would reach the heart of people like what they had just heard. I would teach humbly, knowing God had shown up already, thankful to be a part of the body of Christ. Let us welcome today to Church Hurts And, that bass player and renowned virtuoso, John Patitucci.

If you’ve ever wanted to scream the classic Rodney King line, “Why can’t we all just get along?” it might have been in church. Today: Crazy Church Boards with Attorney William Larson. Did you take civics or political science when you went to school? Part of basic education is learning how people have tried to organize themselves to get along in this world. Who can tell whom what to do, why, and how? A few forms of government might stir the cobwebs in the brain: Democracy, Communism, Socialism, Monarchy, Theocracy, Totalitarianism. Now for the pop quiz. Describe each in a few sentences and then explain why you think one is the best. Now let’s get a bit more practical. With a bit of thought, we realize that nations aren’t the only thing that needs to be governed. Schools do too, and corporations, and states, and homeowners associations, and families. Oh, that’s right, and churches too. Uh oh! If you ask people who have been hurt by the church somehow what it was that hurt them, it won’t be long before you are talking about church leadership and church government. If you care to know, it is a sub-category of “Ecclesiology,” a big word for the study of the church. They might not use the word “government,” let alone “ecclesiology, but that’s what they are talking about. Leaders, pastors, priests, elders, deacons—all referring to roles in church government. And wow, they sure have the capacity to mess things up and make one wonder if common sense has been banned from the church board room. Let’s find out more about this from someone who might know. A practicing attorney who has sat on more than a few boards, let’s welcome William Larson to Church Hurts And.

With each success, the Markham name has become synonymous with authentic, quality, high-performance products that serve as an industry standard. Jim is best known for pioneering sulfate-free, salt-free products and creating the luxury color care category, and he continues making his mark as the acclaimed, best-selling author of Big Lucky: Serial Entrepreneur Jim Markham's Secret Formula for Success. This life-changing page-turner is an Amazon.com best-seller and was featured as Audible’s #1 new release.
But Jim’s path to success wasn’t foregone, obvious or easy. Married at 15 with a child, Jim Markham began his career as a barber as a means to support his young family. His undeniable ambition led him to California to meet with celebrity stylist Jay Sebring, an encounter that resulted in a lasting and important partnership. Jim became a Sebring distributor, Jay’s protégé and eventual successor, taking over the Sebring business following Jay’s untimely death as a result of the Manson murders. As a savvy celebrity stylist, Jim’s client list grew to include stars such as Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, Johnny Carson, Frank Sinatra, and Robert Redford. Jim quickly found that he had a gift for product development and for detecting needs in the market. His entrepreneurial spirit drove him to create companies that delivered innovative products to meet those needs, including being first-to-market with natural-based, 100% vegan, cruelty-free, carcinogen-free, premium, color-protecting haircare formulas.

Rick developed his proven system for hiring—and gave the start-up world a much-needed kick in the ass. Rick didn’t grow up dreaming of changing the game in recruiting…or business of any kind. So he took a job in recruiting, and even though he phoned it in, he wound up making a lot of money. However, when a friend derisively referred to him as a “resume-slinging cowboy,” Rick knew. It was time to up his game…by changing everything he was doing. He studied many approaches to recruiting, ultimately perfecting the process into a single system that is both seamless and highly-successful in achieving the right results. The result is the Hire Operating System (Hire OS), a secret weapon that focuses on hiring consciously that consistently attracts the best people. As the founder and CEO of Stride Search, Rick used (and still uses) this system to build top-performing teams for Silicon Valley start-ups and other cutting-edge companies. His mission has been to give committed start-ups the clarity, power and system to make hiring a win, every time. And somehow, he has turned his unsettling impulses, unruly nature into success for hundreds of clients. For more information go to https://www.stridesearch.com/

Are you an animal lover? Have a soft spot for the furry creatures of the forest or the brilliant feathered friends above? Today, Animals, Family,and Photos with Award-Winning Wild Life Photographer and Artist, Holly Cannon.
Do you know the three basic distinctions which make up the foundation for any worldview which is considered Christian? They are all found in the first chapter of the first book in the Bible: Genesis one.
1 There is a distinction between God and creation. There is a fundamental difference between the two and if you get that confused, everything else turns into a mess. In the beginning God. Not in the beginning God and. God didn’t check in with me, or you, when He decided to start this world as much as we might like to believe otherwise.
2 There is a distinction between human beings and all other creatures. Being in the image of God is something uniquely reserved for mankind. God gives man the special responsibility to rule over all the creatures of this world. Its part of the job description we have as humans. Interesting, huh?
3. Man is distinct from woman. God made man; male and female he created them. It doesn’t matter how confusing the use of language or pronouns are, a man isn’t a woman and vice versa no matter how confusing we might try to make that.
Three fundamental distinctions are worthy to consult when things get confusing in this life. Today we are going to talk a bit more about one of them which all too often gets overlooked. What about all those other creatures which God put on this earth the do their thing? If God put them there, I bet they can teach us something about Him, even if they aren’t in His image like us humans are. How are we to rule over them if we don’t know them, study them, and enjoy God’s creation?
Ever consider that the first job God gave man? It is common to say prostitution is the oldest profession. That’s not true. Adam and Eve were Zoologists. So let’s talk to someone who has seen animals of all kinds and gives us a peek into their glory.

Know what it is like to live with a smile masking pain and hurt so deep there aren’t enough drugs to cover it up? Today, Death, Drugs, AND Church with Jeff & Shannon Bryant.
It is hard to imagine this today, but there was a time when the selection of a marriage partner began with the assumption you would choose someone from your family's own ethnic identity and religious affiliation. This wasn't a problem for those whose lives were completely surrounded by only such people anyway. So Dutch married Dutch. Scots married Scots. Mexicans married Mexicans. Chinese married Chinese.
Notice I started with national identities because you know it gets messier when we add religion into it. Surely the nice Scottish Lass raised in the Church of Scotland wouldn't want to marry a Roman Catholic Scot, of all things, would she? If this were a discussion group, all of you would be ready with stories of your own. You know someone whose parents were horrified when he married a Russian girl and at the wedding… dot dot dot. These are stories that include way too much relational pain, generational conflict, historical changes, and cultural metamorphosis. They are hard to understand, more challenging to live, and often produce irreconcilable damage to children who find it all just stupid.
So let's cut beneath all of those external cultural, national and religious labels and dive right into the home. Here we have a happily married couple with three children. Issues arise as they always do in life, some more significant than others. How does the couple navigate these challenges as they turn to their important fundamental values? She thinks Church would help if they could go together as a family. He's not surprised because she's always been a bit more spiritual than he was. "Go ahead, Honey, take the kids."
"But I'd like you to come with us." she implores. To say the least, he isn't tempted.
Years go by with the script remaining the same. He misses that the issue isn't about Church at all, really. His wife longs for faith to play a part in their marriage, their family, their decisions. The bickering between the two of them becomes more commonplace. The once passionate love affair turns into an endurance race, finding ways to avoid the growing gap between them. Now what?
Let’s find out. Welcome, Orange County Entrepreneur Jeff Bryants to Church Hurts And.

Ever thought the devil made you do it? Why do you do what you do and how does faith fit into it?
Don’t tell anybody, but I’ve gotten addicted to binge-watching a series on Netflix. No, really, don’t tell anyone because the language is way too graphic, and the sex on the screen won’t pass any Sunday School test, but the storyline and imagination is simply overwhelmingly compelling. The series is called Outlander, and it forces one to contemplate the cultural, medical, and spiritual dynamics in the mid 20th century compared to the mid 18th century. How would you handle life if you woke up tomorrow 200 years back in time? Imagine the differences, beginning with no lights to turn on, much less, thermostats to adjust, or prescriptions to take.
So why do we just keep that line of thought going for a minute? In the Christian world, it wasn’t long ago Catholics believed all Protestants were heretics, and Protestants all thought The Pope was the Anti-Christ. Psychology as a specific field of study was not even born as myths and superstitions abounded in the areas we might call brain science today. You are doing something crazy? What are we supposed to conclude if we don’t know about brain tumors, chemical imbalances, and personality disorders?
Rushing forward to today, do you wonder why you are struggling with faith and relationship issues in a way that seems unique? Do you question the prescriptions which are supposed to take the edge off of your anxiety or depression, still finding yourself unsatisfied? Does trust in God seem to elude you, making you long for the faith you see in others?
Let’s ask someone who has pondered these things for most of a lifetime.

In our opening, we mention having a “dash of recovery” thrown in. What is that? Recovery? Recovery from what?
If you Google recovery, the first thing to come up will be how to recover a lost or corrupted Word document. That is something we hope we don’t have to do anytime soon. But we are looking at something far more important and fundamental. That’s easy for me to say not panicking over a corrupted Word document containing months of work, but you get the point.
Consider the meaning of the prefix “re.” It means simply “back” or “again.” It appears hundreds of times in the English language. Rearrange. Retool. Readjust. Reborn. Reform. Remember. I could go on and on or chose different words if I wanted to redo this intro.
And then, have you ever been in a situation where you were responsible for too many things and the deadline was looming? You are running around checking on things and someone says, “I got this covered.” Wow, does that feel good! Covered. Protected.
Now we have something which was supposed to be covered but was left out in the elements too long. The storms came. The snow fell. The wind blew and too much exposure has taken its toll. Maybe we should just throw it out. Or, or is it worthy enough to RE-cover.
I have discovered that recovery people are some of the most gracious-giving people in this world. They know what it means to be beat-up by life. They know what it means to be exposed to too many storms. They know what it means to have a second chance.
You get to meet one of these people who knows something about this subject today.

Bonhoeffer 1945 and Today
I don’t know about you, but I know life seems more complicated to me today than it was years ago. What used to be apparent black and white issues have turned into an insane amount of grays and purples and browns. It reminded me of third-grade art class when we were first allowed to play with paints and shown how to mix colors. Blue and yellow could make the loveliest shades of green. Like every other ADD child, of course, I figured if two colors mixed was good, why not three and four and five. You know the result, that ugly shade of mud which was irredeemable.
Unfortunately, when I am talking about life being complicated, it isn’t as easy to understand as paint mixing. When what we learned was good ends up being not so good, or even harmful, confusion kicks in. If a right isn’t right, and wrong is what we were told was right, how are we act? When what was cast in stone in front of the courthouse from ten commandments is now forbidden to be on public property, who is making the rules, or maybe more importantly, who has changed the rules, and why?
In college, I was taught that there were different views of ethics, the two primary ones being Absolute and Relative. Absolute Ethics emphasized what was always true, no matter what. Relative Ethics emphasized that ethics changed based upon the situation. The classic illustration given was based upon lying being bad. If lying is evil, what do you do when the Gestapo comes to the door and asks if you are hiding Jews in your attic. If you tell the truth, they will surely be shot. If you lie, you have violated God’s prohibition against lying.
Today we will talk about a man who actually faced those issues, in that time with the Gestapo and Hitler and churches as messed up as church gets. His name was Dietrich Bonhoeffer. To find out more, let’s ask an actor who has played Bonhoeffer all over the world in the play Bonhoeffer 1945.

Show Notes We have a very important social issue in our culture today that receives little press, or… really… any kind of attention… Except to those in the middle of it: Care for our Aging population. Especially those with that require medical, professional or just more regular personal attention. On today’s show we have gerontologist and dedicated advocate of society’s disenfranchised, Dr Jacque DuPont. Jacque is so uniquely gifted. She demonstrates that rare combination of superior intelligence with an overwhelming heart of compassion. On this episode of the Next Chapter with Charlie Jacque guides me through the critical issues of dementia and other disabilities common to people in the closing chapters of aging. And she offers insights into how adult children can manage these issues. The first thing, Jacque suggests, is to find it in our hearts to recognize both the humanity and the dignity that all human beings deserve. Our podcast today is one of the most insightful shows we have ever done.

Theresa Agovino The second guest in our Return to Work Series is Theresa Agovino, workplace editor for the Society for Human Resource Management. Teresa McQueen talks with Theresa about what the workplace could look like in 2025. Facebook and Twitter were one of the first companies to hire a Director of Remote Work to help manage the amount of people working remotely. Another trend that Theresa says will continue is the push for diversity and inclusion. Theresa also believes that the COVID-19 pandemic has made companies think more about the health of their employees.
"Companies have realized that people can productivity work from home"
"It's made companies so much more aware of the health and safety of their employees"

Christian Podcast | Heart of the Artist
I was the ripe old age of 22, settled into a graduate school outside of Chicago, and attempting to adjust to the north again after a marvelous year working in Key Biscayne, Florida. My father had died the previous year from sorosis of the liver, leaving me a bit lonely, while at the same time feeling quite adult. I was on my career path into church ministry, already quite settled into my theology of choice, yet eager to learn, and get my walking papers to be a legitimate clergyman.
Attending a singles group in the city, I ran into an all-too-cute girl who wouldn’t quit talking about her church in the suburbs. Actually, everyone seemed to be talking about that church, so I allowed myself to be dragged along one Sunday, more interested in the girl than I was in the church. I knew things were going to be different since the lobby was packed in the theater hosting this new fangled trendy church, awaiting the previous service to let out.
It is hard to imagine nowadays, but back then churches were mostly known for their pipe organs, choirs, and liturgy. The site of a band set up on the stage was different. But then, four female vocalists with microphones and smiles started to sing in harmony, quite well by the way. And then it happened. I saw the drummer lift slowly from his seat at the drum kit as the singers paused. With no shame or apology, and all the strength the young man had, he came down on the snare and the beat was on. Welcome to the modern church.
If I had to compare those three years in the seminary with the impact of that one church on my thinking, I’m not sure which was greater. I do know this, I will forever be grateful. Why do we do what we do in church? How much of it is because of outdated traditions, and how much of it is led by God’s instructions in the Bible?
Today we have a special guest who has spent his life asking such questions, picking the songs, rehearsing the bands, and leading the worship. Today he continues to serve the church as the director of Heart of the Artist Ministries. Let’s meet him.

Jinah Kim NIKO EASY WASH CAR SEAT COVERS on how becoming a mother led her to creating an easy wash cover for her kid's car seats. And how it's given her a whole new chapter in her life from TV Reporter to Entrepreneur.
Show Notes Today Terry Hershey and I explore one possible reason that America is a radically divided country. And each side is firmly convinced that they are right, as each will cite “supposed factual information” in support of their beliefs. But… information itself is not the problem. It’s about the source of our information. One of the big reasons for our strong battle lines just may be that our information is too biased. We tend to rely only on information that supports the stance we have already agreed upon. Therefore we end up talking to ourselves. Is a middle ground even possible? In this podcast Terry and I really wrestle with trying to figure out some way to have bi-partisan dialogue. I hope you enjoy two guys stumbling around in hope of discovering a common ground. I think we almost get there… in the second half of the episode. See for yourself as we welcome Terry. Visit Terry at www.terryhershey.com .

Inside a Princess.
I am guessing you think your intuition is pretty good. You read people rather well. Trust your instincts. “Trust the Force, Luke.”
At the core of the romantic ideal in America today is the scene of two unknowns who look across a crowded room, happen to catch the eyes of each other, and it is immediately there. You feel the electricity as it sparks between them and shudders through their body down to their toes. Nothing will be the same again. Perhaps a third notice the silent exchange, camera angle catching it just right, and now knowing voyeurs react, and the plotline is set. Will this be the beginning of a great romance or a tragedy of epic proportions? With a whiff of smell salts, we know real life would end up with some twisted combination of the two.
I relate to the writer's desire to want to create the tale, rather than be another typical movie-goer, at the mercy of the author’s and producer’s imagination. How would we write the tale? Want to have happy endings? Then craft the story that way. Want to see tragedy turned into miracles? Write it that way. The power of authorship can be powerful.
But what do you do if are enamored with a story already told, a story known to many, and told for millenniums? What if you see it differently? What if the villain isn’t a villain, and the heroine isn’t quite so heroic? What do you do then?
Let’s make it harder. What if that story is in the Bible? Really? A Bible story that may have some insights people have been missing, and missing badly? If told another way, there are those in this world who could be helped by telling it, bringing it to life, and giving a whole new twist a dust-covered Sunday School lessons long forgotten.
What would that be like? Let’s find out.

Are we really ready for the electrification of all our vehicles? Tune in to this week's DRIVEN BY DESIGN as our host Bryan Thompson (a 10 year veteran of Nissan's SoCal design studio) tackles that question with Ali Jahed, a real live "electric vehicle consultant" at Morrow Mobility who previously was responsible for preparation, and full service readiness of Mazda U.S. operations (corporate, region, and dealers) for the launch of their Electric Vehicles and Hybrids,
And given his connection with so many at Mazda (like his mentor, Tom Miata, legendary designer of the Mazda Miata), Bryan explores what it's like to work at that "scrappy car company" and how they build so much passion and heart into their products. And keep the fun of driving alive. Can that still be done in an all electric, self driving future?
Hear all that and more in this highly energized discussion between two real "car guys" on this week's DRIVEN BY DESIGN. Exploring all the things that drive us today, here on Orange County's only community radio station. Keeping SoCal's thriving and driving car culture alive, one conversation at a time...
Is It a Book? No, this isn’t an invitation to send us your book idea. This is the step you MUST take before having the book talk with people in publishing. We get rhetorical on this episode of the Pub Date Podcast and share how the rhetorical triangle can help you answer the question.
Welcome to the Pub Date Podcast! A bite-sized, behind the scenes show on what happens before and after your book’s publication date. Join Vanessa Campos and Dr. Jennifer Dorsey as they answer ALL your book publishing questions and deep-dives into the nitty gritty process of writing, designing, and marketing, social media marketing and marketing strategy for business owners.
Show Notes Today I really look forward to the show, not so much because of the fascinating content but more because of our ultra fascinating guest… my dear, dear brilliant friend, Jennifer Bork. Now, Jenn comes to us with no breathtaking resume, has authored no books, has no blog, podcast or business that places her atop the so-called social scale of that which most Americans secretly strive for. Instead, Jenn Bork is a wife of Jon Bork, mother of two amazing children August and Tessa, a Facebook Make up guru, and a gym and boxing fanatic … but mostly Jennifer is a woman with as much practical wisdom as anyone I know. Jennifer and I worked very closely together in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Officially she was Executive Director of my company, but truly she did her best job as my creative muse. Apart from my wife, no one “gets me” like Jennifer. She understands both my personal strengths as well as my core pathologies that drive half of what I do and I think. So today, Jenn and I will have a somewhat rambling conversation, catching up, after nearly a decade of very brief contact, as we brainstorm the meaning of life for the average individual and l most likely will slip into discussion about the impacts and learnings from months of quarantine.

Virginia Woolf once said, “If you do not tell the truth about yourself, you cannot tell it about other people.” Let me repeat that, “If you do not tell the truth about yourself, you cannot tell it about other people.” That is rather scary if you think about it.
Four years ago, I went through a life-changing, radical, character-defining, unnerving transition. I’m not going to tell you exactly what it was because I am not ready to get that vulnerable, but I will say to you: I am not the same person as I was four years ago. I thought it was just a choice, until every day I found out something new about myself.
Here is the strange about it. Of all the things in life I might have doubted, one thing I did not doubt was I was the world’s number one expert in John Bash. Nobody knew me as well as I knew me. How could they? Isn’t that rather self-evident?
I once heard a woman say, “I’m not much, but I’m all I think about.” I wasn’t quite that bad, but I did claim a certain amount of self-awareness. I had my share of psychology classes, two graduate degrees, was a minister for 25 years, with more than a few therapy sessions. Doesn’t that qualify me to know myself? In short, the answer is a resounding “No.”
Have you ever heard the question, “Would you rather be happy or right?” Most people who ask this expect it to be rhetorical. I have the kind of brain which doesn’t do well with such questions. Right or happy? I ponder it. Doesn’t this open the possibility for a happy idiot? Let’s not dismiss “right” too quickly, right?
I am particularly appreciative of people who can come into such pondering and help me to think about life differently. Their way to truth is not nearly as propositional as I would like, is much more sensitive and caring, and usually includes some fun stories along the way.
Today we have such a person. Brian Mann is an artist, communicator, churchman and currently holds the title of Story Ninja at Citycoast Creative in Sonoma, California.

One of the pains of getting older comes in attempting to accept changes, even embrace changes, rather than staying stuck in old ways and acting precisely like the old people at whom you used to roll your eyes. By allowing myself to be stereotyped as an old curmudgeon in the introduction to this show, I guess I've admitted that I don't intend to bend over backward to embrace the latest trendsetting fashions. Perhaps the most difficult of all changes for me are those that come into the world of ideas and language. I knew I was in trouble last November when the Oxford University Dictionary changed the definition of "woman." Really?
How am I to talk if you change the meaning of words on me? If this is starting to sound too obtuse, take the time to watch the 2019 movie entitled "The Professor and the Madman" with Mel Gibson and Sean Penn. The meaning of words does matter and helps us as we try to understand and navigate the world around us, not to mention relationships within that world.
Now I can admit to being a bit pedantic about some things, and I know for a fact that our special guest today can be, but at some point, I have to put my foot down and scream, "This Matters." It isn't just words. It is words.
Have I lost you yet? Let me give you one example, one word, and then see where it takes us. Ready? TRUTH. What does the word "truth" mean?
Growing up, I learned that everyone could have opinions, some more right than others, and the essence of good conversation was exchanging ideas to learn and be influenced by others. All decent people were seeking the truth, so such discussions were outstanding. But something happened. Somebody switched the definition of "truth" with opinion. Instead of "the truth," people were talking about "my truth."
If I try to explain my confusion any further, I'll confuse myself, so today we have as a guest the author of LIFESTYLE: A Biblical/Philosophical Study of Christianity & the Culture it Produces. Maybe he can help.
From Western Ohio, welcome Dr. Richard Knodel to Church Hurts And.

In Part 1 of our Leader in Highlight with Steve Cholas, Vice President, Business Development for BIG ZETA, Steve shares nearly four decades of insight into digital transformation in the electronics industry and the kind of leadership it takes to make sure a company isn’t left behind. With 80% of the channel still trying to connect through outdated methodologies, Steve reflects on how a commitment to talent-diverse ecosystems ensures organizations stay competitive. Steve entered the industry in the 80s as a marketing rep at a time when semi-conductors were hitting their stride. Says Steve, “For someone not educated in the electronics, to earn their marketing attention I had to learn their business. And to realize I was now a part of the DNA of new devices and technology was super exciting!” And for Steve, the excitement has never stopped. Now he counsels companies to pay attention to this swiftly moving digital engine, because “if you’re not a part of it, you’re out of it.” Hear more from Steve in Part 2 of his interview.Support the show (http://www.womeninelectronics.com)
In Part 2 of our interview with Steve Cholas, Vice President, Business Development for BIG ZETA, Steve reminisces about what drives passion in your career, which he attributes to engagement with what you do. For Steve, the electronics industry is dynamic and evolutionary. “Everything you do, every day, has been developing years prior to that moment…how can you not get excited about being a part of something that has the potential to change people’s lives? And you were there before it ever came to market.” Steve observes that the talent set needed for an organization to thrive in this constantly changing environment is completely different than what worked 10 years ago. Today’s ecosystem is much broader than it’s ever been and the industry as a whole is lacking in momentum to develop the talent necessary to move the needle. Aging C-Suite leadership whose career didn’t evolve during this digital era must commit to recruiting and retaining "data scientists" who can competently distill the exponential analytics available to us into actionable solutions to not just keep up but to thrive. During the interview, Steve also reflects on his early women mentors and the impact they’ve made on his personal and professional success, and invites young talent to get in touch with him at Steve@BigZeta.com.

Show Notes On our show with Lindsay Davis today we explore the very core of human existence. I think we can best sum it up with the words of psychologist Phil Sutherland, “As human beings, before we are anything else, we are a “burning ball of desire.” Lindsay and I probe the ROLE of burning desire in every single move we make. We ARE desire. We express desire. Without desire we are barely more than automatons. But with desire we are hungry. We are fruitful. And we can find extraordinary pleasure and productivity in life. And why should our lives NOT be pleasurable and productive? Let’s find out in my conversation with business, life and performance coach, Lindsay Davis.

Everything changes when one is introduced with the title of “Pastor” or “Reverend” or “Father” or “Preacher.” An individual self-consciousness seems to invade the social space, consistently altering the subject under discussion. People somehow seem obligated to qualify themselves, dropping a sentence or two about their spirituality, church attendance, or lack thereof. Frequently there may also be a reference to childhood upbringing, ethnic traditions, or family practices.
Since I was often introduced to such a title, I was self-conscious of the expectations. I was now the church or religion representative as the discussion twisted to a disagreement or disillusionment with “organized religion.” Over the years, I usually discovered I was in agreement with the person expressing their discontent and fully understood why they chose to disengage.
While I have never taken a poll, I certainly have a lot of anecdotal evidence to conclude people’s primary distaste for organized religion is founded in what they perceive as hypocrisy. Leaders allow themselves to be perceived as more holy, more together, closer to God, and wiser than the average Joe. It can be quite off-putting, but it is also very seductive. Who doesn’t want someone with an into God? Why listen to sermons if the one preaching it doesn’t have something you don’t have?
But then the hammer comes down, and the stories unfold. This preacher didn’t know how to keep his pants on. That leader, she had her hand in the till. The neighbor always going to church was rude to me.
In some ways, this whole discussion can get mundane to me. I’ve had it hundreds, if not thousands of times. That’s sad, but cause it isn’t mundane. It is so the opposite of what the Bible teaches from beginning to end, perhaps nowhere more prominently than in the leading figure of Old Testament Israel, King David.
Let’s find out more from our two guests today, who I will introduce in a moment after an excerpt from their work “The Odyssey of King David” read by D. Paul Thomas.

Our thesis is this: if you don’t exercise intentional care for yourself, you will be absolutely no good to anyone else.

Relationship Pain. Ever been excommunicated? I mean, kicked out of a church kind of excommunicated? Sounds like we are talking about the Middle Ages, doesn’t it? Does that really happen anymore? I mean, there are churches for every species of thought under heaven. One church I visited had a blessing Sunday for pets. Choose your sexual preference, a god off the menu, liturgical stripe you prefer, and you can find a church that fits. Why would anyone get excommunicated when one can just walk down the street to open arms of people equally indignant at the idea, to begin with?
It doesn’t take a whole lot of self-reflection to realize we excommunicate people from our lives all the time. The word comes from the Latin “excommunicare,” which means to put outside of the community. We can put it more simply by staying in English and just looking at ex and communication. I bet you have a bunch of people in your life who would fit into that category: “I am not going to communicate with you anymore.” You have done something so offensive, so repulsive, so defiling to my standards, I no longer will have you in my life.
This gets particularly difficult when it happens in the most intimate relationships, particularly the family.
When I was a young pastor, already starting my second church, and had a second child on the way, I had a very unique friend. In his beginning years of fatherhood, he happened to be a nuclear power engineer and personified what any pastor would like to have in the church. He was the greeter from heaven, making everyone who dared walk through the doors feel special, and welcomed. Come back again, and he would remember your name, ask about your week and point you to the coffee before the service.
When the lights went off at church, we would find our way to his small starter home, where the ping pong table was my immediate destination. Laughter began, and extended volleys were interspersed with deep theological questions and a passion for unbelievers throughout the world. In so many ways, everything just seemed perfect. Let’s see…

In part one of a two-part series, Adam Norwitt discusses his journey to become President and CEO at Amphenol Corporation. Adam discusses his childhood experience in boarding school, then formal education in law, and finally pivoting to business, which proved to be life-changing.

Adam advanced beyond his humble beginnings and took every open door, even when he didn't feel qualified, to emerge as President and CEO of Amphenol. His humble leadership and implementation of an "Intrapreneurship" mentality throughout the company has proven to separate Amphenol from the pack to remain one of the leading manufacturers in the electronics industry.

Show Notes The episode today is certainly the most philosophical shows we have ever done. As you will quickly discover, Terry Hershey and I do what I am fond of saying: “we go down deep, and stay down long.” Here’s the question: Do you believe something because, it is True, or is something True because you believe it? Is truth a matter of choice? Is there substance to the thought that… truth is simply a matter of whatever one chooses to believe? That is the question Terry and I ponder over the next hour. We had great fun and I hope you find your own truth in this conversation. Visit Terry at www.terryhershey.com . For more with Charlie Hedges please visit www.thenextchapter.life
Radio Show Surprise Ending. When I was growing up, professional athletes were a little less “professional” than today. T.V. cameras and interviews after the game often included “Hi Mom!” and thanks to their parents for getting them to such a success point. Back then, I found it a bit annoying, where now I miss the innocence and authenticity of it all.
Having done this show for the past year, I have been surprised by how many of our guests end up talking about their parents when we got into the deeper life issues. My mother died shortly after I turned three. My father died when I was only 22, and I’ve felt handicapped in life. I couldn’t take my wife-to-be to meet my Dad and it would have shown her a lot about me. I loved my Dad, but his failings and flaws impacted me for years into the future. In fact, they still do.
When a new baby comes into the world, it is common for the adoring family and close friends to make comments about how they have physical attributes of the mother or father. I find it ridiculous, impossible to discern, and as reliable as your daily horoscope. But as life goes on, often the genetic and character traits passed from parent to child are undeniable. Parents teach us what we should be like and model for us how to navigate this world with varying degrees of success.
So what do you do when that thing called a “nuclear family” betrays you, dies, gives you up for adoption, turns to booze, or just flakes in the myriad of other ways possible? What is it like to live life trying to fill out a form that asks for your father’s name, and you don’t know the answer? We’ve all seen the T.V. shows of adopted children becoming adults and going in search of their “biological” parents. They are gut-wrenching or emit heartwarming conclusions much rarer than the editing room floor would tell.
Where would one go to find such stories? Certainly, Jails and Prisons would be a place to start. The reality is one wouldn’t need to go to such lengths. Just listen when people around you begin talking about their own families. Strange and unique combinations of people, betrayal, and heartbreak lurk beneath the surface.
Today we have your local small business banker in Orange County. Need a business loan? He’s your man. He’s a great father to two handsome teenage boys. Active in his church. Let’s open the phone lines and ask him about family.

Show Notes On the show today Producer Paul and I do a deep dive into the vastly ignored virtue of Patience. Typically, we just don’t do well with being patient. I’m reminded of the prayer, “Lord, give me patience; I need it now!” An interesting discovery in the midst my conversation with Paul was that perhaps the greatest obstacle to patience… is our natural proclivity for… selfishness. We fall into that ever so annoying trap of thinking that life is all about me. What I want (or perhaps feel that I need) almost always takes precedence over anything else. I hope you enjoy this thought-provoking discussion and perhaps discover some tools for Learning to be Patient that you might be able to employ in your own life.

I grew up in a home where I was encouraged to read, perhaps not in the healthiest of manners, but encouraged to read nonetheless. My natural adversarial personality did not accept such prodding easily, my push-back coming in the form of, or preference to, physical activity. Give me a ball of any kind, and I was happy.
I happened to have the good fortune of growing up in Pittsburgh, the second cloudiest city in the US, with winters unfriendly to little boys wanting to run and play outside, our periodic football games in the snow a rare opportunity. Nasty weather drove us indoors, restlessly impatient, looking for something to do. Once bored enough, the ample books awaited to be opened by hesitant youthful eyes.
While a few classics were consumed in such moments, before long I discovered various genres more to my liking. The Hardy Boys mystery novels were consumed along with Nancy Drew and her equally challenging exploits. Next escape novels from WWII were discovered in abundance. Reading itself could be an escape I realized, something much needed in my abusive, unfriendly childhood home.
I guess there is something good about learning the value of books for escape and enjoyment before accepting their value for learning itself. It was many years later I embraced the enjoyment of education, expanding one’s mental geography while traveling through time between the pages of a book.
I picked up a new author a few months ago, wondering if he would be worth reading. My rule is to read at least fifty pages before rejecting the book for good. I was cynical about this guy for reasons not worth elaborating upon, but I got through the first fifty pages, more than a little intrigued. I’m on my fourteenth book now and recently discovered I have the option of going for fifty more.
The characters are deep, real, multidimensional, and struggle with the same issues in life as I do. They live in times I want to know more about and in places, I want to go. Their relationships struggle with things I struggle with and their doubts seem to match my own as well.
So today on Church Hurts And you get to meet that author along with me. His name is Michael Phillips and he doesn’t do many interviews. He’s a writer, not a public speaker, but he has graciously agreed to come out of his Shire, of sorts, to be with us. Welcome, Michael Phillips to Church Hurts And.

Show Notes I really needed this show today for my personal sanity. As you may know, I am hooked on the idea of awe and wonder. Today Terry Hershey and I talk about finding awe in the ordinary. Typically, the idea of awe seems to be most often restricted to some sort of event: like travel or museums. But in these days of Covid, travel and museums are no longer available. Yet, for the keen mind, awareness of the awe in the ordinary everyday aspects of our lives can easily be discovered. I really enjoyed this discussion with Terry. He truly “get’s” awe in ordinary. It was Einstein that said, “He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.” Wouldn’t be glorious if awe became an everyday experience? It is my hope that this show leads you there. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Visit Terry at www.terryhershey.com .

OC Talk Radio Show: If you are not a reader, you may be tempted to hang up, turn off, or otherwise ignore this show when you hear the title "Inside a Book Doctor." I encourage you not to because we will look at some things that may confirm suspicions you have about books, or at least I hope we will. Books are funny things.Many years ago I started a church that grew in numbers year after year. Many of our new members were converting to faith after years, if not a lifetime, of rather casual attitudes toward God, the Church, the Bible, and Jesus himself. Their conversions seemed as authentic as could be, with newfound excitement to learn about God’s word, develop lifestyles as believers, and reform their views of the world and their families. It was exciting.But then something happened. Some of these people started showing up to church with really weird views and even stranger questions. An inordinate amount of interest in the Book of Revelation and Daniel seemed to be a common thread. Where were they getting this stuff? I was the only pastor they had ever had, provided the only teaching they had sat under in a church context.Some took this even further and started to become quite judgmental of others who didn’t believe as they believed about all kinds of things. Questions concerning the rapture and demon possession arose. It was causing quite a stir. I was befuddled. What was I doing wrong? It caused me no small amount of insecurity and sleepless nights.But it didn’t take extraordinary investigative skills to discover that Christian Radio, TV, and Christian Bookstores were not my friend as a pastor. With the sincerest of motives, many of these new converts were simply looking to learn more about their faith and tuning into things to enrich their Christian growth. Books with pretty covers and enticing titles were bought from the local Christian bookseller to supplement what they were getting from their local church.So this young pastor embarked upon a journey to teach discernment to my congregation. Not everything with cover and the name of Jesus is true. Not everyone with a microphone and title in front of their name is worth listening to.So how are we to know? How do Christian books get into print? What’s the real story? Today we have one eminently qualified to give us an insider's view.Welcome, book doctor, Dr. Steve Halliday, to Church Hurts And.

What are you good at doing? I mean really good. Did math come easy for you? What about sports? Do you enjoy adding up the numbers while someone else is going out there and doing the sales? Maybe cooking, or comforting those who are hurting, or motivating the discouraged. Perhaps you are a teacher? What are your unique gifts and talents?If you were ever involved in a church of any kind, you probably heard that God gifts people, everyone, but not all the same. He gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as teachers and the list goes on. A creative God creates creative people (Imago Dei -in the image of God) and all us of getting to enjoy the creations of both. Unfortunately, some of us struggle to discover our own gifts, our own talents, and our place in this creative creation. Part of this unfortunate situation also may include unhealthy envy of those who have the more obvious gifts, forgetting something really important.Do you know why the God of the Universe gives His creatures gifts? What is the purpose of all this diversity, beauty, and skill display? There is an answer and if it is not on the top of your mind, it may be why you struggle with knowing your own giftedness.Here comes the answer. Why do you have unique gifts? Ephesians 4:12 & 13: “to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ, 13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ.”That’s a mouthful, but it is powerful. Let me put it another way. Your giftedness is to help other people, break down divisions, and reveal the true God. That’s the job of the Church. Think we could use that today?This show is titled “Creatively Faith.” We are going to meet an artist who pushes creativity to a new level. She is fun. She is powerful. She is full of faith, and her story can not but help to inspire. Welcome, Hope Harrison, to Church Hurts And. ChurchHurtsAnd.org

And in this show discuss we devote the entire second half to the value and need for family unity. In this time of vapid individualism, it seems we have put all our eggs in the “what’s in it for me” basket. So Paul, How about what’s in it for us? Rand Sperry gets very personal about his all-out commitment to his family of 6 children and 10 grandkids. And oh… Rand also happens to be a high profile CEO known throughout the country for his business acumen in Commercial Real Estate, managing of in excess of 1 billion dollars of assets annually.

Is your life going smoothly this week? Had a smooth beginning to the year? Would "smooth" describe the nature of your life? I'm just guessing here, but I suspect I haven't gotten a "yes" from you yet. Smooth is an expected ideal much more than a reality experienced with any frequency. Many years ago, when I was a young minister, I ran into a middle-aged pastor at a meeting of pastors. He stood out in the crowd. To me, he seemed cool. His dress was elegantly casual. His hair combed handsomely without perfection or gel. His smile was quick, and good humor seemed to follow his conversations. Ready with my newfound theological precision, I approached him along with a few like-minded friends to check him out further. It really was not too unlike dogs in a dog park, sniffing out another breed. He greeted us, that twinkle in his eye of one who knew what was coming, and he was up to the task.It didn't take long for the kidding to begin as he played with our minds, allowing me to call attention to the small smooth stone he wore on a chain around his neck, knowing I was giving him the very opening such an adornment obviously desired. I don't remember the story, but I do remember the conversation which followed. It was about how sin played into preaching. Did he tell people they were sinners in need of a savior, or did he soft-pedal that part of the Gospel message?"Let me tell you about the people who come to my church," he said. "All week long, they are told they are not good enough, they don't sell enough, they don't work fast enough, they aren't charming enough or energetic enough, caring enough, and they don't produce enough for the bottom line." "Now," he continued, "how am I supposed to tell them they aren't good enough, righteous enough, holy enough, spiritual enough, or godly enough and expect them to believe we offer anything different from the world?" He made his point.Today we have someone who knows a few things about rough roads, ruts, and pit holes. He paves them for living along with his over 270 employees. Meet Daren Young for our show "Filling in the Ruts."Welcome, Daren, to Church Hurts And.ChurchHurtsAnd.org

In 1982 I was ordained in downtown Chicago. The service was a big deal. My favorite preacher, Steve Brown, whose God-like voice you hear on the intro to this show, came and preached. Lots of my friends were there, my little start-up church which is still alive and well today was hosting the occasion. It had as much formality to it as I can stomach, including what is called a “Charge” to the newly ordained minister, me. That was delivered by my favorite Philosophy professor who had driven 420 miles to be there. Dr. Tom Gregory. I was humbled and honored by his presence.Do you know what he said? I’ll never forget it because it made me squirm. His opening line was, “John, you have beautiful feet.” I thought I was going to die. This was a very proper curmudgeon, not given to the type of shocking lines I liked to deliver. What was his point?He went on to quote from the prophet Isaiah (52:7), “How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news.” The Apostle Paul quotes this in his letter to Romans asking how people can believe if they have not heard. So feet are this wonderful image of the good news of Christ being taken from one place to the next. My professor knew of my desire for people to hear the good news of the gospel, particularly those who had heard bad news in the places good news was to dominate. At Church Hurts And, we know that is too often the Church.But let us get back to feet. Do you remember when athletic shoes were called “Tennis Shoes” or sneakers? The only brand names I remember were PF Flyers and Keds and the color options were black or white. Now, do you remember your first pair of athletic shoes which weren’t canvas? If you aren’t old like me, you won’t remember that.What we have on our feet today is simply an established fashion statement, and today we get to glimpse inside that athletic, fashion shoe world, jump into the basketball court and then take a trip to the Philippines with a man who knows the inside story.Welcome, Shoe Dog David Corsi to Church Hurts And.ChurchHurtsAnd.org

If you don’t like golf, don’t hang up. I understand. And if you don’t like golf, and you find yourself continuing to find a way to get to the golf course, really don’t hang up! Today we will be talking about golf, but we are going to make links to real-life, which could be soul-changing for you.For 25 years of my life, I was a pastor and preacher. I built churches, preached every Sunday, met with hurting people, and tried to be the real McCoy in contrast to the charlatans who seems to get news headlines I never coveted. Sometimes I would get the recordings of my sermons and listen to them. It was a horrifying experience. I could never say what I wanted to say in as clear, precise, and compelling way as I desired.In contrast, I would listen to great contemporary preachers who communicated the very things I was trying to convey. Why did they seem to be able to preach so much better than me? Was I mistaken in my sense of call to the ministry? While my churches tended to grow in numbers, spirit, and vitality, shouldn’t they be growing faster? Perhaps if I was more gifted, more holy, harder working, and wisely strategic, I would see more fruit from my labor.You know exactly what I am talking about. Maybe you weren’t a preacher or a public figure submitting to the never-ending commentary of critics around. Still, you have had the voices in your head telling you, you aren’t good enough, smart enough, talented enough, or charming enough to make the grade. Do you let it beat you down?Today we get to learn from a man who has lived much of his life in the rarified air of golf’s elites. He’s played in all four majors, even setting a course record at the Master’s for a first-time participant in 1978 when he came in 5th. This man is a “pro” in many ways, an author, dedicated family man, and has much more than a casual relationship with Jesus Christ.Welcome, Wally Armstrong, to Church Hurts And.

Sinful Saints Revealed. How is that for the title of our show today? It sounds like a bad headline from a trashy newspaper found in the check out line in a second rate grocery store. Sinful Saints Revealed. Really?Did you know that the word “saint” means many different things depending on who you are talking to? Roman Catholic and Orthodox traditions have a formal understanding of saints, including canonization established first in the 10th Century. It may surprise many that sinlessness is not a requirement for sainthood in any tradition. With the advent of the Protestant Reformation in the 16th Century, the whole notion of Saints was turned on its head. Anyone who is truly a Christian is considered a saint. If this sounds confusing, it really doesn’t have to be. In his first letter, the Apostle Peter tells us, “You yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood” (1 Peter 2:5). Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. (Psalm 30:4)To avoid digressing down this ages-old theological side road, we can all admit that no matter what words are used to describe Christians: Christian Leaders, Clergy, and or other public figures in Christendom, we can have a tendency to fall into hero-worship or to villainize them. Both lack the honesty characterized in Biblical Revelation, where Saints are sinners, and both sides are glaringly revealed.Today we will look at a couple of people who might be considered in the informal subjective lineup of Protestant Fathers. It is easy to make them bigger than life, forget their frailties, and feel insignificant by comparison. But their stories are excellent and worthy of knowing to motivate us to be encouraged by the saints and reminded why they needed a Savior too.Our storyteller today is one of my favorites from the other side of the pond.Welcome back to Church Hurts And, Englishman, Londoner, Pastor, Scholar, and Tour Guide from heaven, Ben Virgo.ChurchHurtsAnd.org

Of all the tales of redemption one could tell at Christmastime, there is none for me quite like Charles Dickens’ novella written in 1843 entitled “A Christmas Carol”. Four spirits visit the classic character Ebenezer Scrooge in his fitful sleep, causing insight and discontent only to be resolved by a Higher Power working his magic in another human soul at the celebration of the birth of a baby.Speaking of nightmares, how are yours doing these days? Isn’t it interesting how fascinated we can get with dreams, pondering their significance, wondering if they really do have meaning for us in real life, and even seeking advice from others who claim to have some expertise in the subject? Interestingly, there is no shortage of biblical references about dreams and even prophetic significance in some.Consider for a moment the most significant component of dreams and nightmares. What is it? You know: we are sleeping. We wake up in a sweat or laughing or smiling. But we wake up, we hope. There are times we refer to something in real life as being dreamlike or nightmarish, and when those lines begin to blur, it gets scary. I must admit there has been a component of that in recent days during the pandemic. It all seems somewhat surreal, from the history books or a science fiction novel. We keep wondering when we will wake up, or at least, wish it was just a nightmare from which we could wake.What is your worst nightmare? Are you trying to scream, and nothing comes out? Do you wake up covered in sweat? What if you discovered it wasn’t a dream and you weren’t waking up, and it just kept going?Today we have the unique privilege of having an illustrious guest who knows a thing or two about nightmares, probably worse nightmares than you’ve ever had, and with good cause. His name is Dave Stevens; some just call him “Cowboy." and I want to jump into the middle of his nightmare. Welcome, Dave Stevens to Church Hurts And.
Show Notes Well today, Paul, our life coach Dena Crowder and I will wrap up 2020 by reviewing my personal year and then trying to determine “what essential life wisdom lesson did I learn this year?” Dena Crowder is THE best at digging deep into the inner self to help determine wisdom lessons learned in life. So today I will participate in a Dena Crowder designed Life Learning Exercise in which she will take me down a road to discover what wisdom I gained from 2020. This process is always so fun… and just a bit scary as the truth that emerges may be pleasant or it may be a significant challenge… We’ll see… For today’s episode I plan to enter the show about 5 minutes into the conversation… but you won’t miss anything. Dena is just beginning her overview of the process. But, before we begin our conversation, just a bit about Dena: Dena Crowder is known as the most innovative strategist and consultant for creators and leaders. Her clients include Grammy and Emmy award winners, CNN Hero’s, founders, writers, performers, educators, and upstarts from every industry. In her latest achievement Dena had the honor of participating as a Ted X speaker, on the subject of “The Power is You.” Now... I wonder how many is feeling that power in quarantine today? Some are thriving while others struggle deeply. That’s what I plan to talk about that today. So… Paul, let’s join the conversation already in process with Dena Crowder and me. You can reach Dena at www.denacrowder.com For more with Charlie Hedges please visit www.thenextchapter.life
Election – Now What?
Host Bart Zandbergen was joined in the virtual studio by co-host Letitia Berbaum to discuss the post-election climate.

-
The election’s market impact
-
The possible impact on portfolios
-
The relationship between stock markets and uncertainty
Show Notes So Paul. We are recording the last episode of the year today. To do so, I want to have a chat with our friend Terry Hershey to talk about beginnings and endings. We will talk about TS Elliot and his poetry in the Four Quartets, especially the second poem, East Coker. Where he writes, “In my beginning is my end.” The search for today will be about knowing when to quit or when to “hang in for the next stage.” Now “quitting” is such a loaded concept in the American lexicon. Let’s see what Terry Hershey has to say about quitting and how it may relate to new beginnings and endings. Visit Terry at www.terryhershey.com .

Jared Rosenthal is a CEO turned entrepreneur, reality TV show host, and tech innovator. While coming up the ranks of corporate America, he cultivated a model of mobile marketing using RVs to deploy teams of people to the streets of NYC, replicated it in Chicago, and then brought it to dozens of cities nationwide, at one point managing over 400 people. Despite his success, he always yearned to strike out on his own. Ultimately, he bought a used RV and launched Health Street, a mobile drug testing and DNA testing company, in 2010. Initially driving the company's sole RV himself, he famously painted "Who's Your Daddy" on the side of the truck to advertise the company's paternity testing services. A photo was published in the NY Post, which led to a crush of interest from television producers. VH1 picked it up, airing an 8 episode series, Swab Stories, about Jared and his DNA testing clients. Recently, he has led Health Street's pivot to technology and launched StaffGlass, a hiring and recruiting software as a service that allows businesses to easily set up drug tests and occupational health services at over 10,000 clinics nationwide. For more information on Staffglass go to https://staffglass.io/

Standing Stones. Ever thought much about these unusual large standing stones, which probably bring to mind the famous Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England? You probably haven't, and for a good reason. We don't know much about them. These sizeable ancient rock formations come with little explanation. We guess the oldest to be 12,000 years old found in Turkey. Similar strange circles and other shapes pop up all over the world. They far predate any known language or alphabet, which goes a long way towards explaining why we don't know much about them. The engineering and precision of their placement are frequently so advanced they defy any logical explanation. Many also have unique astronomical dynamics to them, which are nothing short of impressive.As curious and baffling as these structures may be, one thing we do know: they have stood the test of time, weather, civilizations, and wars. They force us to ponder humanity before written history. From where have we come? To where are we going?For many such questions are irritating and cause impatience. There is food to be bought, children to attend, plants to water, and calls to return until there isn't. When the busyness stops, the loneliness kicks in, the fears arise, where do you turn?For two thousand years in the Western World, there is an answer to that question. Those big haunting questions land us with a visit to the local pastor or priest. This particular profession has provided a resource for the big questions in life. The clergy have listened, provided the skills of useful sounding boards, given wisdom and solace to point us beyond ourselves to something which makes suicide an unattractive alternative.But what happens when the busyness stops, the loneliness kicks in, the fears arise, and you be the clergy?Today we have with us two people who decided to answer this question. Interestingly, they chose to name the organization Standing Stone. Let's meet them.From Newport Beach, California, Jim and Debbie Hogan, the founders of Standing Stone Ministry, welcome to Church Hurts And.churchhurtsand.org
Most, if not all, people can't wait for 2020 to be over.
We all know someone who has been hurt by this pandemic and has gotten COVID-19.
Lost jobs and income, feeling isolated and disconnected, loneliness, and frankly, you just want to hug someone.
But in all of this darkness, there is light. We all want and need to heal!
Today, in this podcast, we explore the power of positivity. To find light in the darkness we ask that you dig deep to find something that you are grateful for and seek words of inspiration for the world for the coming year.
To help us do that, I've invited my friend Leilani Quiray to co-host this inspirational episode, along with a variety of people to share their stories of positivity.
Please join us for this unique 2020, hour-long Business Growth Cafe podcast event to help you heal and lift your spirits.
Special Guests: Charles Antis, Chase Boehringer, Wei Houng, Ric Franzi, Joe Martin and Dawn Reese.
Professional Dancer Cassidy Knoblett (Mariah Carey, Katy Perry and others) talks about his COVID QUARANTINE TIME and how he keeps going and growing. How do you keep moving when the world seems stuck in slowdown and shutdown?
Noted Car Designer Bryan Thompson shares his idea of how he tries to bring "light into darkness" not only thru his work designing cars for companies from Nissan to autonomous car maker Motional, but also thru his special SHINE project. SHINING a light on the often overlooked subject of domestic abuse in the LGBT community (including his own experience which inspired him to shine a not on others stories as well). So in these dark Covid times, don't give up hope! Find a way to let the light shine thru in your own life! And see how others are using this forced seclusion to open new doors and new ideas in their own lives.
Michelle Seiler Tucker joins me at the Business Growth Cafe to discuss her new book, Exit Rich and the ins and outs of selling your business. We also spend time discussing why businesses fail and steps you can take to ensure you ultimately have a successful exit!
How to Christmas. If I asked you to tell me about how you do Christmas I bet you’d start telling me about family traditions, decorations, schedules for opening presents, typical attendance at Church services, and stuff like that. Right? Now you want to tell me about the lights you’ve put up in the midst of the pandemic and who can’t travel to see whom, and we are so far afield we can’t see the baby through the pine needles. But before I send you on a guilt trip which is just too easy to do, I want to ask a more thoughtful question. How should we do Christmas if we want it to have anything to do with the founder.In my not-so-humble opinion, anything we do regularly can get distorted by the familiarity which loves to breed contempt. Christmas comes around every year whether we like it or not. But why? Why is this something worth celebrating, or is it?When I was a new Christian I went through a stage which I jokingly refer to as my Jehovah's Witness stage, questioning every tradition which is not explicitly commanded in the Bible. Just because something is a tradition doesn’t make it good or right. If you’ve ever been willing to talk to a Jehovah's Witness knocking on your door they will explain why birthdays and holidays aren’t worthy of celebrating. They may have a point. So why has the church determined for two thousand years they are wrong and put the holy in holy day for the birth of Jesus?And, and we like “and” here, what can we do the put the holy into our Christmas? How can we learn more about the One we are celebrating? How can we teach our children and grandchildren in such a way they don’t fall prey to the consumerist secularists, cynical communists, or grasping pagans in the midst of their winter festivals and chilly solstices?To answer this question we have asked back one of our favorite guests at Church Hurts And, Dr. Perry Downs, a former professor of Christian at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, the alma mater of your host. He’s real, practical, foster parent to over 30 blessed children, and just real enough to be worth listening to.Welcome back Dr. Perry Downs to Church Hurts And.churchhurtsand.org
Show Notes Hi Paul. Today we are reaching back to a guest we had on the show about one year ago, my son Austin Hedges. Austin is a professional baseball catcher for the Cleveland Indians. After nearly a decade of playing since graduating high school for the San Diego Padres, he was traded in late August to the Cleveland Indians. What I hope to chat about today has to do with both the inner emotional roller coaster ride, of ups and downs, family life, professional life and the place of dreams in the most competitive of environments. This show will be a “behind the scenes” view of what it is like to be both hero as well as unappreciated. Fans are fickle and they frequently feel the right to express their opinions: many positive and some not so positive. In addition I want to get into “life during the season” and “life during the off-season.” For more with Charlie Hedges please visit www.thenextchapter.life

Show Notes I am very passionate about the topic for today. You see I have sort of an aversion what is known as “linear growth.” You know, the old 3 or 5 Steps to Accomplishing the Life You Want. I think linear growth is quite effective when learning and even mastering a particular discipline. But… even then, there comes a point when the novice reaches the Master level and at that time goes into a “free form” mode, using all that has been learned but now to freely create with competence. And so I wonder about the way we use the word “growth” in personal development. Unfortunately, growth frequently assumes a missing link of competence, a sense of incompleteness. When the truth is, growth is always “additive.” Personal growth is all about adding to our already existing sense of reservoir place and purpose in life. For that reason I came upon a metaphor for growth: ladders of trellises. Let’s talk more about it with Producer Paul. For more with Charlie Hedges please visit www.thenextchapter.life
In the latest edition of Women in Electronics Leader in Highlight series, WE Founder and President Jackie Mattox goes one on one with Jim Kaplan, CEO of Cornell Dubilier Electronics. Like so many leaders in the electronics industry, Jim, a 32-year veteran with CDE, shares his story of starting on the manufacturing floor and how the knowledge and experienced he gained working within one organization for so many years has led to a fulfilling career. While the trend in today's work force may be to jump companies or industries every few years, Jim offers advice to younger employees within the industry to find a company where one fits culturally and that offers opportunities for growth internally. CDE is recognized for having a zero turn-over rate and Jim is confident it is the company's culture that has contributed to this achievement. Jim believes much of CDE's success and what sets them apart is their culture, understanding work life balance and having a workforce who understands their importance to the larger organization. Case in point, Jim supported Women in Electronics based on the recommendation of one of his employees, and he has seen firsthand the impact the WE community has had in professional and personal development of men and women alike.

It was one of those moments in life recorded in my brain in full color and stereo sound even though there wasn’t much color, and there wasn’t much sound. It was November in rural Southern Maryland, where the grayness and chill of winter overtook Autumn’s charm. My candidating sermon had been given on that Sunday morning in a middle school cafeteria in front of forty people, including children and bugs. The congregation asked me to leave as they discussed whether or not to extend to me an invitation to become this Presbyterian church’s organizing pastor. My eight-month pregnant wife was at home in Florida, awaiting the verdict. This decision would dramatically change our life.I methodically walked the parking lot outside, wondering how long the meeting would last and somewhat curious about the only other human outside at the moment. The man was buried under the hood of an aging automobile (and must have been enjoying the cold about as much as I was). Knowing as little about cars as I do, I was wise enough not to go over and offer help with my nervous shaking hands.Imagine my surprise when I saw that the human form who unfurled from under the car hood sported a Roman clerical collar and pleasantly introduced himself. His church was a church plant as well and was meeting in the school gymnasium. He very quickly extracted from me the situation I was in. Without hesitation, he closed the hood and insisted on accompanying me in these tense waiting moments, assuring me of his prayers and best wishes when the call came to return.I received the invitation from that church. Father Paul and I became anchors of sorts in the interfaith council in the county. More importantly, he became a friend. Father Paul, educated beyond impressive, a significant leader in the covenant community movement, currently serves as the Msgr. at St. Stephens Martyr Catholic Church in Foggy Bottom, Washington, D.C., six blocks away from the White House.Welcome to Church Hurts And, Father Paul Dudziak.churchhurtsand.org
