The old structures of our global society are not serving us well.
We need to creatively destroy the ships that brought us here and move in to the new land of the future with better tools.
Tools that keep us safer and healthier that create more wealth for more people that foster more intimate and rewarding relationships.
We need to leave behind what is not working.
We need a Modern Revolution.

About Donald Dunn
During my 20 years I changed in a way I did not know I was changing. I spent 68 months deployed 9 months in Bosnia and the rest was in Iraq and Afghanistan. Most of the time was in Afghanistan. I spent 10 years in the special operations community and lost friends from accidents in training to combat. The years spent alone and the trauma from combat wore on me in ways that I did not know. After getting out of the military I was not the same person. I was angry. I hated myself and was pushing my family away. I began planning to do what I felt was best for my family and that was take my life. I felt the insurances money was better than having me around. Between some events that lead up to a boiling point my life erupted in one day. I was dealing with PTSD, a Struggling business, and a person I could not stand myself. On this one day I did the worse thing a father could do that has lead myself to a point of becoming rock bottom and between desperation and a veteran friend I was able to get help. I have spent the next several years trying to improve myself. I started a podcast highlighting veterans with their struggles and accomplishments. I have also started a Non-Profit that started from the podcast in 2023. I discovered how many veterans were still out there fighting to reach their dreams, but fighting demons at the same time. I also learned that life after the military does not play by the rules we are use to. This lead to Heroes Voices Media Foundation. We have built a radio station playing and promoting veterans musicians who want to be full time musicians. We know how healing music is and its not surprising the therapy that comes from it. Seeing veterans walk away from dreams is sad, however walking away from a form of therapy that helps them and they are passionate about is a tragedy. My goal is to tell the world about our 3 Programs that we are building. Gun Room Radio is complete, We are building our Podcasting and streaming program now called Military United Podcasting Streams "MUPS" and shortly after will come Warrior Words a program to help Authors and Bloggers and Article Writers. All of these are forms of media as well as forms of therapy. I would love to come on and share my story as well as share with your listeners the benefits of our programs and make them aware of amazing music and content that they can discover for free. I have a small following between my podcast Social and my Radio station Social we are about 13k followers. Our Radio station gets another 1500 listeners a month. I am willing to share the interview with my listeners as well.

WHO IS THIS PERSON, Amanda Blackwood I'm a survivor of human trafficking. I didn't tell anyone for such a long time. It was my scary little secret. It would stay that way, I thought.
In 2019 the man who had trafficked me made me famous on a pornography sight by sharing rape videos and photos, and linked them all to my social media pages. I reached out to an anti-trafficking organization here in Colorado who paired me with legal services to assist in having the videos taken down, but I made the mistake one day of thinking I was alone in the office. My boss had been only 100 yards away and could overhear my conversation with my lawyer and never made a sound - until the call ended. When the call ended and I heard him moving around, I knew he had been listening. He knew I was a survivor of trafficking. Less than a month later I was fired. It was the week before Thanksgiving, four months before the pandemic.
It was one of the best things that could have happened to me. I'm now a full time author and public speaker. In 2022 I finally launched a career as a public speaker, talking about overcoming obstacles, letting go of resentment, and learning how to approach the difficult conversations that need to happen before it's too late.
About John Lawyer My story is somewhat unique. The transition from a warrior in Kuwait, Baghdad and Kandahar over many years to a spiritualist and universalist was a powerful experience. I was a counterintelligence special agent when I was in the Army and also an asymmetric warfare specialist responsible for coordinating various operations for a special USAF unit in Afghanistan for six years. So I’ve gone from receiving a bronze star for counterterrorism operations to walking through a swamp of sadness to an amazing path of spiritual healing and awareness.

Dr. Rutecki is fervently devoted to the world of Functional Medicine, a field she not only practices but genuinely believes in.
She firmly believes that our bodies harbor an intrinsic capability to heal. Just as we have the potential to reverse our biological age, we can also restore our health to its prime. However, Dr. Rutecki's journey into Functional Medicine was a personal one. In her early 30s, she grappled with various health challenges: chronic constipation, persistent bloating, pain, distressing menstrual cycles, acne, rosacea, hair loss, fatigue, hormonal imbalances, and sleep disturbances.
She believed this couldn't be the norm for someone her age. Yet, when she sought medical intervention, she encountered a wall. Despite all her symptoms, traditional lab tests returned normal, leaving doctors suggesting antidepressants as a solution. Unconvinced, Dr. Rutecki ventured into Functional Medicine, a decision that reclaimed her health and reshaped her career.
She pursued and achieved certification in the field, and today, she has been the beacon of hope for hundreds. Her clients have successfully rebooted their gut health, bid goodbye to digestive troubles, balanced hormones, reduced inflammation related to autoimmune issues, improved immunity, enhanced sleep, and reinvigorated their energy levels. Whether it's strategies to enhance gut health, advice on mood regulation, sleep optimization techniques, energy-boosting habits, or guidelines for better body composition, she equips her clients with knowledge and tools that lead to tangible health improvements.
Dr. Rutecki's mission is not just about healing; it's about transformation. She's driven by the desire to help people reclaim their lives, realize their fullest potential, and uplift others.
About Josh Dech
I used to be a paramedic, but I quickly realized that I wasn't working in health care, it was more like "sick care", and this left me looking for answers. Over a decade ago, I found the real proactive "health care" field, and one of my first clients came to see me at 57 years old. She was on 26 medications per day, used insulin and was on disability; she even slept with a CPAP machine, and had heart and blood pressure issues. Just 2 years later, she broke her first world record as a weight lifter. This pushed me into the field of functional medicine, where we now understand that the gut is connected to 93% of the leading causes of death, as well as our mental and emotional health, immunity, hormones, pregnancy, motivation, concentration, skin health, weight gain/loss, and so much more.
Madam Bella Cummins is the owner and operator of Bella’s Hacienda Ranch, a legal brothel located in Wells, Nevada. The premier adult entertainment destination in Northeast Nevada, Bella’s Hacienda provides a safe and lawful option for sex workers to prosperously practice their trade and serve customers from across the globe.
73-year-old Cummins is the longest-serving living female legal brothel owner in the United States. In 1987, she acquired the struggling Hacienda Ranch Brothel and transformed it into the famed "Bella's Hacienda." Leveraging her business acumen and financial expertise, Cummins successfully turned the establishment into one of the most prosperous adult entertainment destinations in the state.
Throughout her career, Cummins has faced and overcome significant challenges, including successfully navigating the AIDS panic of the 1980s and the COVID shutdowns of the 2020s. During the COVID pandemic, when the legal brothels were shuttered by Nevada’s governor, Cummins creatively obtained an escort license for her business, allowing sex workers to sustain their income by providing non-sexual companionship services.
In an era when sex workers were often disparaged and marginalized, Cummins pioneered a revolutionary approach within the industry. As the only legal brothel entirely run by sex workers, Bella’s Hacienda eliminated exploitative elements, creating a female-led workplace culture centered on trust and teamwork. This environment allowed sex workers to find camaraderie, support, and personal growth, challenging stereotypes and fostering a more positive image of women in the adult entertainment sector.
At the forefront of promoting the legalization of prostitution, Cummins founded the Onesta Foundation. Established in 2018 in response to efforts by religious groups to ban legal brothels in certain Nevada counties, the foundation offers a platform for women working in Nevada’s sex industry and facilitates professional development and support for the legal sex work community.
Very recently, Cummins penned an op-ed piece for the Nevada Independent, sharing her views on sex work in Nevada: https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/nevadas-legal-brothel-system-deserves-national-credit
About Ann Hince
When I was 19, I woke one morning to find my mother dead face down in our bathroom. Twenty years later the tears from that trauma were still just under the surface. It took one 15 minute session with a strange technique to remove the charge from that event and be able to tell the story with no emotion. That one session set me on a journey to not only release the trauma from past memories, but to get beyond that, into the subconscious mind to release tension stored deep in my body, simply using the power of my awareness. Much of the time, society tells us, and therefore we tell ourselves, that we shouldn’t be feeling what we are feeling. I have found that seeking out our truth, what we truly feel, and accepting those feelings, is the key to inner peace. Once we change our inside, our outside changes. As within, so without.

"I’m certified health coach, certified personal trainer, yoga instructor, and someone who is passionate about helping busy moms, individuals and families to live a more balanced and healthy life. I am a mom of 3 who stayed home with our kids for many years, but a few years ago, I followed my passion and became a health coach, personal trainer and yoga instructor who uses natural and holistic methods to guide my clients, who are overwhelmed but looking to find a way to include more balanced living and health and fitness into their lives.

I am a lifelong athlete, a former competitive runner and triathlete who competed at the national level, and I am also someone who has overcome a few struggles with eating and injuries, as many athletes do, which I mention because these experiences allow me to relate to people on a different level. My background is in education originally, as I taught elementary school for seven years and still lead Tinkergarten outdoor play based learning classes (they’re currently online), which means I always aim to educate and empower those I work with. I also like to use a holistic approach in my coaching and training, including multiple modalities in my coaching to help my clients to reach their goals, such as aromatherapy, reiki, muscle testing, mindfulness and energy medicine. I believe that by working with and guiding my clients holistically, I can better help them to reach their goals. I also believe that everyone can achieve a healthier life, no matter how busy they are, as long as they have guidance in setting their goals and focus so that they can work towards them in small steps, one day at a time, which truly works. A favorite part of my work is guiding clients to transform their bodies and their health through health coaching, personal training and yoga instruction, as it is such an amazing process to guide, support, watch and be a part of!"

1. Tell us a little about what you are trying to accomplish in the world. I am a storyteller and truth-teller. In our fast-paced modern world, people are yearning to reconnect to the energy, music and story of their spirit. I help people discover this part of themselves so they can be fully expressed and live their purpose in the world. When people are on purpose with their lives, stress and anxiety drop dramatically, and everything is much more fulfilling. Without it, stress remains high. I am trying to create a world where people are more naturally who they were before someone told them something else.
2. Tell us how you make people feel more connected and nourished. I lead people through experiences that enable them to get excited about being on planet Earth again, especially when everything has felt flat, meaningless and disconnected. Some of what I teach are specific embodiment and spiritual practices that work great for interviews, others are stories I like to share because people love stories for feeling connected and nourished. Sometimes I do intuitive readings on the air, if it is useful for the program. People are yearning to get out of the craziness of our modern life but they don't always know what it is they are looking for. I help them find that so their lives can truly bloom with color, purpose and passion.

From Tiffany Houston:
By age 15 I was 5’9” and 250 lbs and on my way to the grave if I didn’t make a change. Sounds dramatic but its true. So I began taking nutrition and weight lifting courses in high school to educate myself on living a well rounded healthy lifestyle. After high school I attended Arizona State University where I fell in love with group fitness and became an instructor. Fast-forward 10 years later and I am a healthy 160lbs. Along my weight loss journey I have helped 100’s of people change their lives and my goal is help and encourage as many people as possible. I understand the physical and mental journey one must go through to drastically change their life for the better and I am here to help!
From The Beer Research Institute's story:
"Not everyone knows our story. If you’ve been with us since the beginning, there’s a chance you’ve heard it. At least some of it…
Like so many great American success stories, ours began in a garage. Let’s jump in the time machine and go back to the winter of 2005. I received a gift card for Christmas and immediately took it down to the local homebrew shop to purchase everything I needed to brew my first batch of beer. It was horrible but I drank every drop and it sparked a passion that I knew I would pursue. After a couple of humbling batches of beer, Greg came over and jumped in on the brew days. We were both hooked. We sought out every book we could, followed every beer blog and pod cast that was available. We joined our local homebrew club and continued to make as much beer as our schedules allowed. Through the process, like every homebrewer, we kept refining our process and adding equipment to make our brew days more efficient. Then, little by little, we started making better beer. Ultimately, the hobby was challenging and fun. If you know anything about us, you know we like to have a good time. About the only thing we take seriously is our craftsmanship and our brand."

THE MODERN REVOLUTIONARY: OREN MOLOVINSKY
Episode 6
Opreating Partner OF Farmboy and Molovin Farm
Farmboy is a casual, counter-service restaurant that fuses the mouth-watering taste of smoked meats (aka barbecue), with the quintessential sandwich, soup and salad menu. Offerings include pulled pork, chopped beef, and smoked chicken salad; while also featuring house-made veggie burgers, veggie chili, and 2-3 soups daily.
Guests can expect a completely made-from-scratch kitchen, with quality rivaling most fine dining restaurants. All dishes are prepared to order, and a variety of local meats are constantly emerging from the rotating wood-fired smoker, which is at the center of the restaurant.
Guests at Farmboy enjoy authentic Smoked Meats and Sandwiches, in a rustic and comfortable environment. The restaurant is designed specifically to ensure an engaging dine-in experience or a quick and efficient carry-out experience. The meats are primarily smoked or grilled, using real Arizona wood, ensuring a “low and slow” approach to barbecue.
The traditional culinary elements of Farmboy are accentuated by locally sourced ingredients, with meats that are raised and butchered nearby. Long fermentation sourdough bread is baked on site, with Heritage grains grown in Arizona. Fresh fruits and vegetables are grown by local farmers and are typically harvested right before they are delivered. Farmboy strives to purchase whole foods and ingredients that are not processed, and if minimally so, they are handled by small family-owned operations that handle as much of the process as possible.
Price points for farm-to-table cuisine are typically very high, and available only in upscale restaurants. Farmboy solves this omnivore’s dilemma by utilizing the “nose to tail” approach to meat purchasing; taking advantage of the “lesser cuts” by using traditional smoking methods, which turns top rounds into tender roast beef; chuck roasts and briskets into rich cuts of smoked beef; and the trimmings for wood-grilled burgers (sliders). Local poultry is smoked whole, one of greatest delights of smoked meats. Pork is smoked by the “half hog”, with almost all the delicious cuts blended into pulled pork; all prepared in front of the guest in a large wood-fired J&R smoker; displayed for all guests to see the entire cooking process unfold.
Arizona Craft Beers and Wines are offered and are carefully selected to pair well with our menu items. Farmboy also offers a traditional Margarita cocktail, over ice, made with “Naked Juice” and 3 Amigos Organic Tequila, which is farmed and distilled in Jalisco, Mexico by an Arizona farming family.
Farmboy highlights the best of Arizona; with an emphasis on excellent quality, and a menu that appeals to all diners. However, behind the menu lies a deep-rooted passion for building the local family farm economy; and bringing farmers and producers together with their community.

Oren has been working in restaurants since 1986; and in foodservice management since 1990. With a rich career working his way up from a dishwasher and prep cook, through the ranks to Vice President of Operations for two large restaurant groups. Prior to opening Farmboy, Oren has opened and operated well over 70 restaurants in his career; including Delicatessens, bagel cafes, hotel restaurants, fine dining restaurants, and most recently has been the largest operator of the rapidly growing Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers. Oren has led the opening of over 25 Freddy’s; and has operated Freddy’s in 10 states throughout the US.
Prior to moving to Arizona with his wife Diana, and their 5 kids in 2011; Oren was the managing partner of several fine dining restaurants in the Washington, DC area for over 9 years. In this role, Oren led a group of restaurateurs and chefs to form a local buyer’s group, which purchased meats, cheeses, eggs, vegetables and fruits from local farmers and producers; mostly in Virginia. Oren personally coordinated the farm tours, purchasing agreements, processing, and logistics of getting all of these meats from “farm to table”. This group, known as Farm to Table DC, purchase an average of $1,000,000 per year of local, natural & organic products. All of these funds went directly to the producers, there were no middlemen. Oren became an expert in developing “nose to tail” menus; which is a culinary term for purchasing all the meat and edible items from the cattle, pigs, lamb, and chickens that the group could purchase. This led to many farms and farming communities expanding their capacity to provide for the many chefs who were clamoring for local products.
In 2011, Oren and his family had the opportunity to move to Arizona, to be closer to family. He and his wife Diana purchased 3.5 acres in Chandler, AZ on a Maricopa County island, which is now Mo'lovin Farms. Installing an irrigation system that feeds off of the Roosevelt Water District Canal, Oren & Diana have planted over 350 fruit trees and plants. Additionally, they have successfully planted and harvested heirloom vegetables and will continue to do so. The Molovinsky’s are committed to farming organically, without the use of any chemicals. Growing organically ensures superior soil, and the result is superior produce.
Oren serves on the Advisory Board for Playworks-Arizona, a non-profit focused on anti-bullying and inclusion in Arizona schools; specifically focused on Title-1 schools. Oren has been involved with Playworks-Arizona since 2011.
Oren is also a partner, and the President of a critically acclaimed restaurant in Arlington, VA called Mala Tang. Together with his operating partners, Oren has been able to bring authentic Sichuan cuisine from the revered food city of Chengdu, China, with an emphasis on Hot Pot dining. www.mala-tang.com
DIANA MOLOVINSKY PARTNER & FARM MANAGER Diana manages all aspects of the farm operations at Mo’lovin Farms (aka Farmgirl Produce); and also, has started selling the product through local farmers markets. Diana will continue to be in charge of planting and harvesting fruits and vegetables that are core components of the Farmboy menu. Many of the vegetables are able to be grown year-round in the warm Sonoran climate of Phoenix. However, Farmboy’s menu will adjust seasonally based on what varieties of heirloom vegetables and fruits can be grown at that time of the year.
Diana has a worked in restaurants and hotels throughout her career; and is a graduate of the Hospitality and Restaurant Management school at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, AZ. Diana has worked for large hospitality companies as a manager, including Marriott Hotels. Most recently, Diana has operated farmers markets in both Virginia and Arizona. Sourcing sustainably grown local produce, by cultivating relationships with farmers and then selling the produce in an open-air market environment. Diana helps to manage the retail operations of Farmboy, which includes a fresh produce section. Diana also coordinates the sourcing of local produce and other ingredients from local farmers and producers.
It is obvious from the nationwide decline in church attendance and the great increase in “nones” (people claiming “none” as their religious affiliation) that the traditional spiritual offerings are no longer meeting the needs of the people. That said, there is a general increase in a sense of awe and wonder. So how will we continue to facilitate our spiritual wellness if not in churches? And what even does spiritual wellness look like? Like every other kind of fitness, our spiritual fitness is not purely of a spiritual nature, but overlaps with our mental, physical and lifestyle as well. This insight is the impetus for Katy Steinberg’s vision for Missing Peace, a movement addressing the physical, cerebral, spiritual, and serving components of spiritual fitness.
Despite moving nearly 26 times, Katy Steinberg names Winter Park, FL as the place she is “from.” That said, she and her family comprised of husband Jeff, and their two children have been in Daytona Beach area for 10 years or “my whole life” as the kids would say. At 36 years old, Katy has completed a bachelors in Business with minors in Mass Communications and Economics from the University of Florida, and a Masters in Divinity from Columbia and University of Dubuque seminaries.
Amongst Katy's social contacts, it became clear 2.5 years ago, that there were inadequate venues for spiritual exploration and wellness for people who didn’t feel like they fit or didn’t feel welcome in churches. From this consensus, an idea was born for Missing Peace A place where doubter and disciple could both gather for spiritual practices, physical activities, cerebral discussions, and serving opportunities. To do this, they began meeting in August of 2015 as a nomadic community of sorts that would gather weekly and travel the area seeking these different experiences in order to connect with each other and the divine in meaningful ways. Over 400 people have come to check out this unique expression of life and faith in community, serving nearly 1000 hours and giving over $25,000.
Looking for ways to participate in your spiritual wellness? Follow Missing Peace on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, eNewsletter, or simply make time for a few deep breaths and listen closely to your own spirit whispering to you exactly what it needs.

Deborah Frieze is an author, entrepreneur and social activist. In 2013, she founded the Boston Impact Initiative, an impact investing fund focused on economic justice, which means investing in opportunity for all people—especially those most oppressed or abandoned by our current economic system—to lead a dignified and productive life. The fund takes an integrated capital approach, combining investing, lending and grantmaking to build a resilient and inclusive local economy.
Deborah’s focus on resilience began during her tenure as co-president of The Berkana Institute, where she worked to support pioneering leaders who were walking out of organizations and systems that were failing to contribute to the common good—and walking on to build resilient communities. These leaders are the subject of her award-winning book, Walk Out Walk On: A Learning Journey into Communities Daring to Live the Future Now, co-authored with Margaret Wheatley.
After writing Walk Out Walk On, Deborah decided to build an urban learning center modeled after the pioneering leaders she wrote about. In August 2013, she founded the Old Oak Dojo in Jamaica Plain, MA, an event center dedicated to racial justice and a place where neighbors gather to rediscover how to create healthy and resilient communities.

The old structures of our global society are not serving us well.
We need to creatively destroy the ships that brought us here
and move in to the new land of the future with better tools.
Tools that keep us safer and healthier
that create more wealth for more people
that foster more intimate and rewarding relationships.
We need to leave behind what is not working.
We need a Modern Revolution.
Get Ready. It's Coming.
