In our interview of Bob Cowsill (yes…THE Cowsills) he reminded us that history and music aren't really about dates. It's about people. About moments. About ordinary lives interrupted by extraordinary memories centered around a special song.
Listen to this provocative conversation and you will learn that The Cowsills were one of America's first family bands. You will hear the expected stories about hit records, Ed Sullivan Show, just three years after the Beatles debut, and the glory days of rock and roll. What stayed with me wasn't the history. It was the humanity. Bob shared a story that has lingered with me.
During one concert, he noticed an elderly gentleman sitting in the front row with tears streaming down his face as The Cowsills began performing The Rain, the Park and Other Things. (Sing along….I love the flower girl) After the show, the man's daughter explained why. Her father had been a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. When his helicopter was shot down behind enemy lines, his gunner's transistor radio became trapped, endlessly replaying that very song. As he struggled to survive, the melody became forever intertwined with one of the most terrifying moments of his life. Decades later, hearing the song live transported him instantly back to that jungle. That is the mysterious power of music. A three-minute song can carry a lifetime.
Buy Cowsills' music, follow them on tour and relive a memorable yester-year.
ost of us will never write a hit song, but every one of us is composing memories.

Unbreakable. That’s a big ask. It’s bigger than what we view as healed, and it’s beyond mere survival.We deserve and are worthy of more than just relief.Written in blisteringly unflinching prose, Becoming Unbreakable is simultaneously a companion to therapy, a warm-up to deeper healing, and a breathtaking dissection of the traumas that underline our lives—but which don’t have to define us.Within an eight-year period, author Dana Killion broke free from an addictive marriage with a husband who harbored a secret life, suffered the loss of both of her parents, and endured the death of her oldest son from fentanyl. Emerging and finding a way through, despite the ossifying effects of grief, Killion transformed her life and became unbreakable. Her process for this becoming is carefully detailed, providing guidance, support, and, crucially, a path forward.In sharing her story and the framework of her metamorphosis, Killion addresses foundational questions that get to the heart of our traumatic responses: Why do some of us become hollow shells of the person we were, even after therapy? How do some of us process our grief more smoothly and carry on? How do we become someone scarred, but not forever broken?Trauma doesn’t have to win. The choice is ours.

On today's show, we honor the late, great Mark James. He was one of America's great songwriters with Suspicious Minds, Hooked on a Feeling and Always on My Mind.
Most people hear Suspicious Minds and think of Elvis Presley. I hear something much deeper. I hear songwriter Mark James describing one of the greatest destroyers of significance: the absence of trust. "We're caught in a trap. I can't walk out because I love you too much, baby..." Those lyrics aren't about romance as much as they're about relationships of every kind. Marriages. Friendships. Business partnerships. Families. Communities. Even our relationship with ourselves. When trust disappears, everyone becomes a detective. Every text is analyzed.
Every silence becomes suspicious.
Every delay has a hidden meaning.
Every conversation feels like a courtroom instead of a kitchen table. It's exhausting. Significance Is Built on Trust Over the past 4,100 conversations on Success Made to Last and Truly Significant, I've noticed something remarkable. The people who become truly significant don't necessarily have the highest IQ, the biggest platform, or the most impressive résumé. They become significant because people trust them. Trust is the invisible currency of every meaningful life. It is earned one promise at a time. One conversation at a time. One act of integrity at a time.When trust grows, dreams grow. Great Communication Builds Great Dreams Mark James wrote: "Why can't you see what you're doing to me?" How many dreams have died because no one was willing—or able—to have one honest conversation? Great communication isn't about winning an argument. It's about understanding another heart. Trust me, the strongest marriages aren't built by people who never disagree. Neither are the strongest companies. They aren't built by leaders who never make mistakes. The deepest friendships aren't built by people who always get it right. They're built by people who keep talking. Who keep listening. Who choose curiosity over assumption. Who ask before accusing. Communication is the bridge that carries trust from one heart to another.
Don't Let Old Friends Become Strangers One lyric has always stopped me in my tracks: "Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?" How tragic when someone who once knew your heart begins to question your motives. Old friends are one of life's greatest treasures. They remember who you were before success. They celebrate you without needing anything in return. They know your stories, your scars, your victories, and your dreams. Don't let distance, busyness, or misunderstanding quietly erase decades of friendship. Call someone. Write the note. Take the trip. Relationships rarely end because of one dramatic moment. More often, they slowly drift apart through neglect.
Crying and Trying One of my favorite lines in the song is beautifully simple: "We've got to let our love survive... or dry the tears from your eyes." Life will give us plenty of reasons to cry. Dreams sometimes disappoint. People misunderstand us. Trust gets broken. Words hurt, but significance isn't found in pretending life is easy. It's found in crying... and then trying again. Trying to forgive. Trying to rebuild. Trying to listen. Trying to believe the best. Trying to become the kind of person others can trust. stronger?Significance isn't built by perfect people. It's built by trustworthy people. And trust doesn't begin with them. It begins with us. Here's to fewer suspicious minds… ...and more significant lives.

Dave Garrison believes that the greatest competitive advantage is not technology, capital, or even strategy—it is human commitment. His book, The Buy-In Advantage, demonstrates that extraordinary organizations are built when people don't merely comply with a vision—they own it.
While many executives focus on directing people, Garrison teaches leaders to create environments where employees become co-authors of success. Vision to Lead Garrison's vision is simple but transformational: People support what they help create. Instead of asking, "How do I get people to follow me?" he asks, "How do I build an organization where everyone becomes a leader?" That shift creates cultures where innovation, accountability, and trust flourish. Mission to Make a Difference Throughout his executive career and advisory work, Garrison has focused on helping organizations:
* Build cultures of ownership rather than compliance.
* Replace fear with trust.
* Develop leaders at every level.
* Align purpose with performance.
* Create organizations where people actually enjoy coming to work.
His mission extends beyond increasing profits. He seeks to improve people's daily work lives by helping them experience meaning, contribution, and shared success. Ecosystem Builder Great leaders don't simply create followers—they create ecosystems where others succeed. Garrison's influence has spread through:
* CEOs who adopt collaborative leadership practices.
* Executive teams that learn to make better decisions together.
* Organizations that improve employee engagement.
* Leadership communities that multiply his ideas through mentoring and teaching.
His impact grows exponentially because every leader he equips influences hundreds—or thousands—of others. Through the Lens of Truly Significant Dave Garrison embodies several principles of true significance:
* Humility over ego — Leadership is about serving the team rather than elevating oneself.
* Purpose over position — Influence comes from earning trust, not exercising authority.
* Contribution over control — Success is measured by how many leaders you develop.
* Legacy over quarterly results — Culture outlives strategy.
His Side Quest is reclaiming the human side of leadership. Rather than viewing leadership as command and control, he has dedicated his career to helping leaders discover that their highest calling is creating workplaces where people feel valued, heard, and empowered. That pursuit has become far more than management consulting—it has become a movement toward more meaningful organizations.
Why does Dave Garrison matter today In an era marked by burnout, disengagement, and rapid technological change, Garrison's message is especially timely:
Organizations will still rise or fall based on whether people choose to bring their hearts, creativity, and commitment to the mission. Dave reminds us that the most enduring organizations are built not by brilliant strategies alone, but by leaders who inspire genuine buy-in.
A Truly Significant takeaway: "Success happens when people work for you. Significance happens when people believe with you."

TrulySignificant.com honors a Texas legend today with John Arthur Martinez.
About John: Before he became a nationally known singer-songwriter, Martinez dreamed of playing professional tennis. A devastating knee injury ended that dream. Instead of allowing disappointment to define him, he picked up a guitar and redirected his competitive spirit into songwriting. That pivot is the essence of significance—not merely succeeding, but transforming loss into service through one's gifts. He represents the best of Texas' cultural crossroads. Texas has always been a meeting place of traditions, and Martinez embodies that heritage. His music naturally blends country, Western swing, Mexican-American influences, and singer-songwriter storytelling without forcing any of them. He has become a musical bridge between Anglo and Hispanic audiences, reminding Texans that our greatest strength is often found where cultures meet rather than where they divide. He chose songwriting over celebrity. Many people remember him as the runner-up on the first season of Nashville Star. But television wasn't his legacy. His legacy has been decades of:* Writing hundreds of songs. * Recording more than a dozen albums. * Performing everywhere from Texas dance halls to the Grand Ole Opry. * Continuing to tour long after reality television faded from public attention.
That is the difference between being famous and being significant. His songs have served other artists. One mark of a truly significant songwriter is that others choose to sing your work. Martinez co-wrote "Seguro Que Hell Yes," which was recorded by Flaco Jiménez and Raul Malo, contributing to a Grammy-winning project. Alan Jackson also recorded the song. Great songwriters don't simply perform—they create music that lives through other voices. He invests in the next generation.
Perhaps the most "Truly Significant" aspect of his career is his commitment to young musicians. Martinez founded FiestaJAM, using music not merely to entertain but to raise money for music education programs in the Texas Hill Country. That shifts the focus from "Look what I've accomplished" to "Look what others can become." He carries Texas wherever he performs. Whether singing in Europe, Nashville, or a small Texas town, Martinez's music always returns to the landscapes, people, and values of Texas. His storytelling reflects ranches, dance halls, front porches, highways, and family—preserving a culture that younger generations can still recognize and appreciate. Even NASA found room for his music. One of Martinez's songs, "Making Good Time," accompanied astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis. Few Texas songwriters can say their music has literally orbited the Earth. It's a fitting symbol: authentic Texas stories reaching beyond Texas itself.
We talk about the upcoming songwriter festival in Marble Falls happening in July.

There's only ONE Hector Saldana. Founding member of The Krayolas. Museum curator at the world class Wittliff Museum at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas.
Hector spent more than two decades telling the stories that many mainstream media outlets overlooked—Tejano musicians, conjunto pioneers, Chicano artists, Texas songwriters, and the cultural movements that shaped South Texas. He earned national journalism awards for his feature writing and coverage of San Antonio's music scene.
What makes him Truly Significant is that he evolved from reporter to preservationist. In 2017, he was selected as the first curator of the Texas Music Collection at The Wittliff Collections, where his mission became preserving the stories, photographs, recordings, and artifacts of Texas music for future generations. That is a classic Side Quest story. A young reporter could have spent an entire career covering breaking news. Instead, Saldaña followed his curiosity into music history, Texas culture, and the people behind the songs.
Over time, that side interest became a calling. His Side Quest became his significance. Several themes stand out:
1. He Preserved Voices Before They Disappeared. Saldaña documented legends such as Flaco Jiménez, Augie Meyers, and countless regional artists whose stories might otherwise have been lost. His work often focused on the cultural significance behind the music, not just the performers themselves.
2. He Built Bridges Between Cultures His reporting connected country music, rock and roll, Tejano, conjunto, and Mexican-American traditions. He helped Texans understand that these were not separate stories but chapters of the same Texas story.
3. He Turned Curiosity Into Stewardship Many people collect information. Few become caretakers of an entire cultural legacy. As curator, he moved from reporting history to protecting it. A Truly Significant Reflection He thought he was covering concerts. He thought he was interviewing musicians. He thought he was writing newspaper stories. But all along, Hector Saldaña was preserving the soundtrack of Texas. And years later, when the songs faded and the musicians passed on, the stories remained. Because one curious journalist decided they mattered. That is significance. Not fame. Not headlines. Not bylines. But becoming the trusted keeper of a culture's memory. And that's why Hector Saldaña belongs as a Truly Significant Texan.

Truly Significant honors Chuck Garcia and his extraordinary Dad and Mother in this special edition of Success Made to Last. Learn from this insightful conversation about the art of honoring your parents today and always...... for you are their legacy. Chuck is a mountain climber, financial guru, college professor, brother, friend, and much more.
Here's what grabbed me........Success gets you to the summits of life...significance (from intellectual giants like his parents) teaches you why you made the climb.
Chuck spent 25 years on Wall Street in leadership roles at Bloomberg, BlackRock, and Citadel before reinventing himself as a leadership coach, speaker, author, professor, and mountaineer.
Today he is the founder of Climb Leadership International and teaches leadership communication at Columbia University. His work focuses on emotional intelligence, executive presence, communication, and resilience. What makes him especially interesting through the Truly Significant lens is that he doesn't teach leadership from theory alone. He uses mountain climbing as a metaphor for life, leadership, and transformation.
He has climbed peaks including Kilimanjaro, Elbrus, and the Matterhorn, and often connects lessons from the mountains to moments of personal reinvention. His most recent book, The Moment That Defines Your Life, explores how emotional intelligence and Stoic philosophy help people navigate defining moments when careers, families, and identities are on the line. What is Truly Significant About Chuck Garcia? Not the titles. Not Wall Street. Not the mountains.
What's significant is that Chuck's career suggests a central truth: Remember.....Success gets you to the summit. Significance teaches you why you climbed the mountain in the first place.

When you hear the words "Texas Soul," what comes to mind? Listen to Leslie Collier's definition that includes grit, toughness, kindness, and independent......
Introducing Leslie Collier through the lens of Truly Significant Texans, one can argue that Leslie is less a furniture executive and more a cultural anthropologist of Texas. What makes her unique is that she sits at the intersection of three powerful forces: music, relationships, and storytelling. Leslie has spent decades preserving and interpreting Texas culture not from a university classroom, but from the showroom floor of W.R. Dallas.
Furniture, after all, is where families gather, musicians tell stories, business leaders build friendships, and communities pass traditions from one generation to the next. Her musical prowess gives her access to the heartbeat of Texas. Musicians are often the first historians of a culture. Through relationships with artists, songwriters, performers, promoters, and cultural leaders, Leslie has developed a unique understanding of what makes Texas different from anywhere else. She understands that a song often reveals more about a people than a census report ever could. Her extensive network is equally important. Over the years she has become a trusted connector among artists, business leaders, ranchers, philanthropists, educators, and civic leaders.
Like a true anthropologist, she has observed how these communities interact and has helped preserve the traditions, values, and stories that define Texas. The furniture business itself is a form of cultural preservation. W.R. Dallas has been part of Texas homes, ranches, lodges, and gathering places for generations. Through that work, Leslie has seen firsthand how Texans live, celebrate, grieve, entertain, and pass along family legacies. The company's history provides a living window into Texas culture and heritage.
What makes Leslie truly significant is that she doesn't merely study Texas culture—she helps sustain it. She champions Texas music, celebrates Texas craftsmanship, promotes Texas history, and connects people who might otherwise never meet. In doing so, she serves as both curator and storyteller of the Texas experience.
A fitting description might be: "Leslie Collier is Texas' cultural anthropologist—not because she earned the title in a classroom, but because she has spent a lifetime listening to the music, preserving the stories, connecting the people, and furnishing the gathering places where Texas culture comes alive." That is a rare form of significance. She helps Texans remember who they are.

Dr. Nicole Alioto, Social Psychologists, looks at what makes school districts transformative, changing the lives of the students and improving our culture.
Dr. Alioto, educator, data expert and author of You Can Measure Anything!: An Educator’s Guide to Measuring What Is Hard to Define (May 2026), argues that the problem is not a lack of data. It’s that schools often try to measure these outcomes before clearly defining what they actually mean. She explains:
* "Morale" means something different to a first-year teacher, a veteran educator, and a building principal.
* "Trust" looks different in a high-performing school and one in crisis.
* Until a district builds a shared definition — one developed with input from the people the data are supposed to represent — any survey it runs is measuring something. Just not necessarily the thing it thinks it’s measuring.
Enjoy this insightful conversation on a truly significant opportunity to shape our future generations.

Von Miller is known around the world as a Super Bowl champion, but his significance extends far beyond football. Raised in DeSoto, Texas, and a graduate of Texas A&M University with a degree in Poultry Science, Miller has combined his passion for agriculture, entrepreneurship, and service to others into a life that exemplifies true significance. One of his greatest contributions is Von's Vision, the nonprofit foundation he established to provide eye care and corrective eyewear to children from low-income families.
Inspired by his own childhood experiences with poor vision and the challenges that came with wearing glasses, Miller created a program that helps children see clearly, succeed in school, and gain confidence. Since its founding, Von's Vision has provided more than $6 million in eye care and eyewear to over 10,000 students across the United States. Miller's commitment to agriculture is equally impressive.
Long before he became an NFL superstar, he developed a passion for poultry science at Texas A&M. Today, that passion lives on through Greener Pastures Chicken, a company he founded to promote pasture-raised poultry, regenerative agriculture, animal welfare, and a healthier food system. Greener Pastures reflects Miller's belief that farming should honor both the land and the animals while producing high-quality food for consumers. What makes Von Miller truly significant is that he has leveraged fame and success not for personal gain alone, but to improve lives. Through Von's Vision, he helps children see a brighter future. Through Greener Pastures, he champions responsible agriculture and sustainable farming practices. His life demonstrates that true success is measured not by trophies won, but by lives lifted. Truly Significant Texans in Agriculture Citation: "Von Miller embodies the spirit of Texas agriculture and service. Whether helping thousands of children see clearly through Von's Vision or promoting responsible farming through Greener Pastures Chicken, he reminds us that significance is found when our talents, passions, and resources are used to benefit others."

Cornell CC Carter is an extraordinary, respected contemporary soul and R&B vocalist, songwriter, and session singer known for his smooth, soulful voice and deep roots in the San Francisco Bay Area music scene. Visit www.cornellcccarter.com
Born in Berkeley and raised in San Francisco, Carter developed his musical style through years of performing in cover bands, studio sessions, and collaborations with some of the biggest names in soul and funk music.
Carter earned a reputation as a premier session vocalist, working with legendary artists including James Brown, Ray Charles, Carlos Santana, Natalie Cole, Kool & the Gang, The Temptations, and producer Narada Michael Walden. His wide vocal range—from baritone to tenor—made him especially valuable in studio production and vocal arranging. Although highly respected behind the scenes for many years, Carter gained broader international recognition through his solo albums, particularly In the Moment (2016), which resonated strongly with modern soul audiences in the UK and Europe.
He followed that success with Vindicated Soul (2017), a collection of soulful reinterpretations of classics by artists like Al Green and Marvin Gaye. Carter’s music blends classic soul influences with contemporary production, often drawing comparisons to traditional soul stylists while maintaining a modern groove. His later projects, including One Love and singles like “Change” and “It’s Over,” showcased increasingly mature songwriting focused on relationships, emotional honesty, and social themes.

Michael Menard was educated as an engineer, holds over 200 patents for the invention of many products you enjoy today. Michael has shifted to a truly significant issue of our lifetime.
At 74, Michael discovered the most important truth of my life: the real enemy isn't the bottle, the pills, the needles and early death—it's the wounds that drive people to them. Now he is breaking the silence because 787 Americans will die today from a crisis we refuse to name.
Michael has responded to a Higher Calling to inform, teach and lead a movement to arrest childhood trauma. It is THE root cause and leading reason for death ahead of cancer and heart disease.

TrulySignificant.com honors the one and only Dame Jane Goodall.
Why Jane Goodall Matters 1. She expanded our understanding of animals
Her groundbreaking research with chimpanzees showed that animals use tools, have emotions, build relationships, and display intelligence once thought to belong only to humans. She helped erase the false line between “us” and “them.”
2. She made science more human
Jane Goodall combined rigorous observation with empathy, patience, and respect. She proved that compassion and science can work together.
3. She became a voice for the planet
Her life’s work moved beyond research into global advocacy for forests, wildlife, climate, and sustainable living. She turned knowledge into action.
4. She inspires young people to lead
Through Roots & Shoots, she empowered generations of children and students to improve their communities and protect nature. Her legacy is not just what she discovered—it is who she awakened. 5. She represents hope
Even while speaking honestly about environmental threats, she consistently reminds people that hope is powered by action, resilience, and everyday choices.
A truly significant life lifts others up, leaves the world better than it was found, and creates ripples that outlive the individual. Jane Goodall did all three:* She lifted animals into our moral awareness. * She lifted people into purpose. * She lifted the planet into global consciousness.
Earth Day Tribute If Earth Day celebrates stewardship, wonder, and responsibility, then Jane Goodall is one of its finest living symbols—a reminder that one curious person, acting with courage and kindness, can change the world.

Truly Significant honors the one and only Porter Garner III, pioneer of Aggie Network and leader of the Texas A&M Former Students Association as TRULY SIGNIFICANT TEXAN.
- For more than four decades, Porter has been a steady hand and a trusted voice guiding the Association of Former Students. He made Aggie core values strategic. Porter is emblematic of the heroes from our book When Core Values are Strategic.
- Porter didn’t just lead an organization, he strengthened the Aggie Network. Clearly, it’s one of the most loyal and powerful communities anywhere in the world. His leadership and teamwork accelerated participation from 100, 000 to over 630,000 supportive former students. He multiplied the multipliers.
- Porter understands something every Aggie knows deep down: that the Aggie Ring isn’t just a piece of gold. It’s a promise. A promise that wherever life takes you, you’ll stand ready to help a fellow Aggie. Porter drilled it deep…Aggies help other Aggies.
-
Under Porter’s leadership, the Aggie Network grew stronger, traditions grew deeper, and generations of Aggies stayed connected to the values that make Texas A&M special — respect, integrity, leadership, loyalty, selfless service, and excellence.
-
Porter Garner didn’t just serve Texas A&M. He served the people who make Texas strong.

Steve Carlis can be viewed as a Truly Significant pioneer because the highest form of significance is not just building brands—it is seeing greatness in people before the world does. That is a rare gift. It means recognizing talent in its early, unfinished stages and helping it become influence, impact, and legacy.
Why That Matters: Many people can judge performance after success is obvious.
Very few can identify potential before the applause begins. That kind of vision requires:* Discernment – noticing gifts others overlook
* Pattern recognition – seeing future momentum in present behavior
* Courage – betting on people early
* Stewardship – helping talent grow, not just using it
* Belief – lending confidence until the person owns it themselves
That is where significance begins. Through the lens of talent with leaders and communicators like Grant Cardone and Mel Robbins, the common thread is not just fame—it is human potential expressed at scale. To recognize figures like these early or help amplify their gifts means seeing:* the communicator before the crowd arrived * the message before it became movement * the discipline behind the brand * the hunger behind the headlines
That is different from marketing. That is insight.
A Success mentality asks “What did you build?”
Significance asks:
“Who did you lift?” If Steve Carlis has consistently identified talent, opened doors, and helped people maximize their gifts, then his real legacy is not media alone—it is the multiplication of lives and voices he helped elevate. Steve Carlis is significant not merely because he recognized stars, but because he understood a timeless truth: When you see human potential clearly—and act on it—you change futures. Visit www.2MarketMedia.com to learn more about Steve and his team.

Dr. David Hilmers is one of my heroes. We respect, honor, and love Dr. Hilmers.
Some lives do not move in a straight line. They arc. They climb, break, turn, and then rise again in a direction no résumé can fully explain. Dr. David Hilmers has lived that kind of life. He was a Marine aviator. A NASA astronaut on four Space Shuttle missions. An engineer. A man who saw the Earth from the cold black silence of space and logged more than twenty days above it.
By any ordinary telling, that would have been enough. More than enough. The kind of life that earns applause, headlines, and a comfortable place in memory. But there is another kind of greatness. Quieter. Harder. Less decorated. It doesn’t ask, “How far did you go?” It asks, “Whom did you serve once you got there?”
That is where the story of David Hilmers becomes truly significant. Many define true significance as using your gifts to meaningfully improve the lives of others at scale. In Hilmers’ case, those are not just handsome words. They are the contour lines of a real life.
He saw the whole Earth, and instead of marveling only at its beauty, he felt its pain. He looked down from orbit and began looking inward. And what he found there was not self-congratulation. It was a calling.

TrulySignificant.com honors the extraordinary culture of the Texas Parks & Wildlife division led by Rodney Franklin.
Hear Rodney's backstory, starting with his upbringing in Paris, Texas and the positive influence of his Spanish teacher.
And here is an excerpt from the upcoming book Big Hearted Texans that captures the spirit of this podcast:
Every significant life has a moment—sometimes a single flash, sometimes a slow dawn—when a person realizes: This isn’t just work. This is stewardship.For Rodney, it sharpened when his world expanded from a small historic site to the wide acreage of Lake Bob Sandlin State Park. Here was a state park as a backyard. Here was prescribed fire and wildlife biology and the living, breathing complexity of ecosystems. Here were school groups arriving wide-eyed—kids experiencing the outdoors for the first time.
Rodney watched their faces change as they learned, as fear turned into curiosity, as wonder landed and stuck.And he realized something that sits at the center of this whole conversation: A Culture of Significance is built when you understand the impact of an ordinary day on someone else’s forever.
Seeing is believing. Check out www.tpwd.texas.gov and you will understand how this narrative unfolds
Texas parks have been called the “soul of the state.” If you’re a native Texan—or even a long-term adopter—you understand why.Texas is rugged. Generous. Wide open. And proud. But Rodney makes the hard truth plain: in a state this big, less than five percent is public land. That fact changes the entire moral math. What you have is precious because there is so little of it.
So the question becomes: how do you protect a place without turning it into a museum behind a fence? Rodney’s answer is the balancing act at the heart of stewardship: protect the resource, and still invite the public in—because people won’t fight to preserve what they’ve never been allowed to love. That means thoughtful trails. Responsible infrastructure. Planning systems that manage crowds. And experts—biologists, archaeologists, historians, interpreters—people who understand that parks are not “just” parks. They’re habitat and heritage, science and story.

TrulySignificant.com brings back a favorite guest, author and futurist Marc Morgenstern. Read his books..The Soul of Deal Making...is our favorite.
Here's why you should listen to Marc.
Marc is significant because he reframes the concept of “deal making” from being purely transactional to being deeply relational, values-driven, and purpose-centered. Here’s why that matters: 1. He Elevates Deal Making from Tactics to Character Most books on deal making focus on:
* Negotiation tactics
* Financial engineering
* Legal structure
* Competitive advantage
Morgenstern shifts the conversation to:
* Intent
* Integrity
* Alignment of values
* Long-term relationship health
His central idea is that great deals are not won — they are built. And they are built on trust, clarity, and shared purpose. 2. He Connects Business with Soul The “soul” in Soul of Deal Making represents:
* Authenticity
* Moral grounding
* Emotional intelligence
* Respect for all stakeholders
This is especially significant in an era when:
* Short-term wins often override long-term sustainability
* Deals can damage reputations if misaligned
* Leadership credibility is fragile
Morgenstern argues that the quality of the deal mirrors the quality of the people making it. 3. He Bridges Strategy and Humanity His work resonates with leaders who:
* Care about culture as much as capital
* Believe business is a vehicle for impact
* Want to create outcomes that endure
Rather than viewing negotiations as adversarial, he promotes:
* Mutual value creation
* Listening deeply
* Understanding motivations beneath positions
That’s a higher-level view of business — closer to stewardship than conquest. 4. Why It’s Relevant Today In a world of:
* PE rollups
* Startup exits
* Complex partnerships
* Cross-border M&A
Deals fail less because of math and more because of:
* Misaligned expectations
* Cultural incompatibility
* Ego
* Poor communication
Morgenstern’s message anticipates this reality. 5. Broader Significance His contribution sits in the same philosophical neighborhood as:
* Conscious capitalism
* Stakeholder-driven leadership
* Values-based entrepreneurship
He reminds leaders that the true asset in any transaction is trust.

TrulySignificant.com riffs with Kevin Adler, new Daddy, founder of Miracle Messages.
Kevin F. Adler is an award-winning social entrepreneur, author, speaker, and “street sociologist” whose work focuses on homelessness, relational poverty, and community connection. He is best known for founding Miracle Messages, a nonprofit dedicated to helping people experiencing homelessness rebuild social support systems and find belonging and stability. He has been featured in major media outlets including The New York Times, Washington Post, PBS NewsHour, and delivered a TED Talk on his work. Adler has received recognition as a TED Resident, Presidential Leadership Scholar, American Express / Ashoka Emerging Innovator, and more. Educationally, he holds graduate degrees from UC Berkeley, the University of Cambridge, and is pursuing a Ph.D. in sociology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Miracle Messages (Organization) Miracle Messages is a nonprofit focused on addressing what Adler calls relational poverty — the isolation and lost social ties common among people experiencing homelessness. The organization helps unhoused individuals by:
* Reuniting them with family and loved ones through volunteer-led message and reconnection services.
* Providing “phone buddies” — volunteers who connect weekly with unhoused neighbors for consistent social support.
* Direct cash support pilots, such as basic income experiments backed by Google.org and USC research.
The mission reframes homelessness not just as a housing issue but as a crisis of community, connection, dignity, and belonging. When We Walk By (Book) When We Walk By: Forgotten Humanity, Broken Systems, and the Role We Can Each Play in Ending Homelessness in America is Adler’s book (co-authored with Donald W. Burnes) that explores the deeper causes of homelessness and proposes constructive ways individuals and systems can help. Key themes include:
* Humanizing people experiencing homelessness — challenging stereotypes and urging readers to see their shared humanity.
* Relational poverty — the idea that losing social connections is a core contributor to people becoming and remaining unhoused.
* Critiques of broken systems — showing how social services and public narratives often fail to address root causes.
* Actionable solutions — from individual empathy and connection to evidence-based policy and community-driven approaches.
The book blends social analysis, personal stories, history, and practical guidance, showing how walking with rather than walking by people experiencing homelessness can transform both individuals and systems. Why His Work Matters Adler’s work is influential because it reframes homelessness from a problem to be managed into a shared human challenge that society can solve through empathy, connection, and better policy. His approach emphasizes relationships and agency rather than judgment or paternalism, and it has measurably reunited thousands of unhoused people with loved ones and helped inform innovative solutions like basic income pilots

Hear this robust conversation that covers:
1. How to say emotionally connected when work, stress and life takes over.
2. Why do we keep having the same argument even though we think we understand each other's point of view?
3. How and why do past relationships and life experiences keep shaping the way?
4. How can couples support each other's individual growth without drifting apart?
5. What positive patterns exist with couples that have been married over 30 years?

Traditional dating apps often reduce connection to swipes, photos, and surface-level attraction. They treat love like a game, leaving people frustrated, unseen, and still searching for something deeper.
That’s why Dr. Poach designed The Right One to be different. Our platform combines psychological science, advanced AI, and a human touch to understand who you are at your core—your values, your personality, your vision for life. We don’t just help you “find a match.” We help you discover real alignment.

TrulySignificant.com honors Texas legendary musician and author Bob Livingston.
Bob Livingston’s true significance isn’t just that he’s an Austin “legendary guitarist.” It’s that he quietly helped define the soul of Texas music while never chasing the spotlight—and then spent decades using music as a bridge between cultures. Here’s why Bob Livingston truly matters: A Founding Voice of the Austin Sound Bob Livingston was part of the original Austin progressive country / cosmic cowboy movement in the late ’60s and ’70s—before Austin was branded as the Live Music Capital of the World.
* He co-founded Lost Gonzo Band, which became the house band at the Armadillo World Headquarters, ground zero for Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker, and the outlaw-country revolution.
* Livingston wasn’t a sideman chasing trends; he was helping invent the sound that blurred folk, country, rock, and storytelling.
If Willie Nelson opened the door, Livingston helped build the room. ✍️ A Songwriter’s Songwriter Bob’s songwriting is deceptively simple—honest, literate, and emotionally precise.
* His songs have been recorded by artists like Jerry Jeff Walker and Gary P. Nunn.
* He writes with a novelist’s eye: place, character, regret, hope—all without flash.
In Austin terms: Bob Livingston is the guy musicians listen to after the gig. A Cultural Bridge, not just a Musician. What elevates Livingston beyond “local legend” is what he did after Austin fame was available to him.
* He became deeply connected to Mexico and Latin American music, blending Texan folk with regional Mexican styles.
Bob Livingston used music as soft power—a way to humanize people across borders through shared stories and rhythms. Integrity Over Industry Livingston consistently chose:
* Artistic authenticity over commercial packaging
* Community over celebrity
* Long-term influence over short-term applause
That choice is why he’s revered rather than merely remembered. In a town known for ego and excess, Bob Livingston became a symbol of quiet excellence. The True Significance (If You Strip It All Down) Bob Livingston represents something increasingly rare: A life where talent, humility, curiosity, and service stayed aligned. He helped shape Austin’s musical identity, then spent the rest of his career proving that music is not about fame—it’s about connection, belonging, and shared humanity.
Remember this from Dare of an Angel- We did it simply to do it. We did it to be tender, yet tough, We did it for the beauty of music. Isn't that explanation enough.

TrulySignificant.com honors Natalie Bruce, U.S. record holder in free-diving. There are places the noise cannot follow you. Not the noise of headlines or deadlines.
Not the noise of self-doubt or self-importance.
Not even the noise of fear—at least not for long. One of those places lies a hundred meters below the surface of the ocean. And Natalie Bruce goes there on a single breath. She is a U.S. record holder in freediving—one of the very few humans on Earth who routinely descends into crushing pressure with nothing but lungs, training, and trust. But to call Natalie Bruce merely an athlete would be like calling the ocean “wet.” It is accurate—and it misses the point. What Natalie practices, what she embodies, is not escapism.
It is engagement at its purest form. She enters what psychologists call FLOW state—a condition first studied by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, describing moments when action and awareness merge, time dissolves, and the self stops narrating long enough to let life speak. Natalie does not flirt with FLOW. She stakes her life on it. Enjoy this rare conversation with the one and only Natalie Bruce.

I created The Right One after years of working as a psychologist, helping individuals and couples navigate the challenges of building lasting relationships. Over and over, I saw the same pattern: people weren’t failing at love—the systems they were using were failing them.
Traditional dating apps often reduce connection to swipes, photos, and surface-level attraction. They treat love like a game, leaving people frustrated, unseen, and still searching for something deeper.
That’s why I designed The Right One to be different. Our platform combines psychological science, advanced AI, and a human touch to understand who you are at your core—your values, your personality, your vision for life. We don’t just help you “find a match.” We help you discover real alignment.
I believe everyone deserves the chance to find a relationship that feels authentic, supportive, and lasting. That’s the heart of The Right One—to connect people on the level where love truly thrives."

Commissioner Sid Miller and his wife Debra are honored on this special, bonus section to the Truly Significant chapter featuring their journey.
Enjoy hearing about their journey of serving others and how this rancher means more to us Texans, especially in 2026.
Here's our original tribute to him ....God made a Rancher.
And on the eighth day… God looked down on His planned paradise and said,
“I need a caretaker.” So God created a rancher. God said, “I need somebody willing to get up before daylight,
check the fences, tend the cattle, then put on a clean shirt and go fight for folks who’ll never know his name.” So God created a rancher. God said, “I need somebody strong enough to ride out droughts and floods, stubborn enough to stand his ground, and humble enough to know the land doesn’t belong to him—
he belongs to it.”
So God created a rancher. God said, “I need somebody who knows the smell of fresh hay,
the weight of responsibility,
and the meaning of a handshake that still counts as a contract.” So God created a rancher. God said, “I need somebody who’ll love Texas not just for its size,
but for its soil… its people…
and the generations who work the land long after the cameras are gone.” So God created Sid Miller. A man who wears a cowboy hat not as a costume,
but as a testimony. A man who understands agriculture isn’t a policy debate—
it’s breakfast on a school tray, livelihoods on family farms, and dignity for rural communities.
God said, “I need somebody who’ll stand up for farmers when it’s unpopular,
push back when Washington forgets where food comes from,
and remind folks that common sense is still a virtue.” So God created a rancher who would become
Texas Commissioner of Agriculture. But not a politician who visited ranches—
a rancher who went to Austin.
God said, “I need somebody who knows that leadership isn’t about polish—
it’s about purpose. That significance isn’t found in titles,
but in lifting others up.” So God created a rancher. One who believes faith belongs in everyday work,
that freedom is worth defending, and that feeding people well is a moral responsibility. God said, “I need somebody who’ll tell the truth plainly, stand tall when criticized,
and go home at night knowing he did right by Texas.”
So God created Sid Miller. And while the rest of the world argues about trends,
this rancher keeps his boots on the ground, his eyes on the horizon,
and his heart set on service. Because long before the votes were counted,
before the office doors opened,
before the speeches were written— God already knew. Texas needed a rancher.

TrulySignificant.com honors Martha Lawrence, prolific author and biographer of Catching People Doing Things Right- How Ken Blanchard Changed the Way the World Leads.
WINNER OF THE 2025 BEST BOOK AWARD FOR BIOGRAPHY, this candid business biography reveals how bestselling author, speaker, and business consultant Ken Blanchard revolutionized management by leading with love and service.
Ken Blanchard transformed modern leadership theory through unlikely means—by catching people doing things right. Written like a novel with warmth and humor, this authorized biography reveals how a mediocre student who was told he "couldn't write" became a bestselling author and a globally renowned management expert.
Through extensive access to personal papers, letters, and interviews spanning six decades, Martha Lawrence paints an intimate portrait of the man behind The One Minute Manager and dozens of other influential books. From his early days coaching Cub Scouts to building a worldwide training organization, Blanchard demonstrated that nice guys can finish first by focusing on serving rather than being served.
During pivotal moments—his sister’s tragic death, losing his home to wildfire, economic downturns threatening his company—Blanchard’s optimistic leadership philosophy was tested. Yet his unwavering commitment to bringing out the best in others while leading with love created a lasting legacy that continues to influence organizations globally.
More than just a business biography, this book shows an American success story of someone who achieved greatness not through ruthless ambition but by genuinely caring about people and helping them reach their full potential. Blanchard’s story offers an inspiring road map for anyone seeking to lead with both results and relationships in mind.

TrulySignificant.com honors John Lennon on the 45th anniversary of his assassination. Featured on this show is the talented Darin Murphy, featured in the Broadway musical Lennon.
Hear the inside story on John Lennon based on Darin doing the show through a beautiful blog that Ariana Huffington published.
Enjoy this and the rare insightful stories about John Lennon through the lens of Darin Murphy who channeled his best Lennon on Broadway with Yoko Ono in the audience.
When I was born in the fall of1964, the Beatles had just completed a full-scale invasion of the world (they actually were greeted as liberators). In my home the sound of the Beatles was like mother’s milk, and the voice of John Lennon was as recognizable as those of my own parents. It was the envy of the music industry and ironically, John himself despised it, but in no way could it ever be mistaken for anyone else’s. And I couldn’t get enough of it. “Psychedelic vision is reality to me and always was. When I looked in the mirror at twelve, thirteen…I’d trance out and watch my face changing, becoming cosmic and complete. My eyes would get bigger and the room would vanish.” On December 8, 1980, I was 16 and watching Monday Night Football as Howard Cosell announced John’s murder to America. Many would say that a part of them died that night, but not me. On the contrary, a part of me was born. I had always been an admirer, but suddenly I identified with John more than ever, and I discovered I could deliver a spot-on impression of that distinct voice. When I acquired my first 4- track tape machine, I would dissect the Beatles’ recordings and recreate them as closely as possible. Those recordings eventually led to a job performing in a Lennon production on Broadway, which was seen by Arianna Huffington, which led to you reading this at this moment. That’s just one of many serendipities and synchronicities that occurred within the cast and crew of LENNON over this past year, and they fed profound energy to a project that was already unique to anything else any of us had ever done. For all of us in the company, and Yoko Ono, who visited often, LENNON was a spiritual trip that transcended both show and show business, and I got to know a few sides of John that I hadn’t before. Though we were dealing with a forty-year-long story that ended a quarter century ago, many of us, onstage and in the seats, felt as though we were actually experiencing John in the here and now. Perhaps that is where the real story of John Lennon lies, not in the places and dates and times, but in the people who have experienced him. There are those close to John who were enchanted by his charm, warmed by his generosity, frustrated by his stubbornness and wounded by his cruelty. And there are those far from him who are captivated by his charisma, inspired or enraged by his politics,enamored by his expressions of love or, like me, galvanized by his craftsmanship and charged by his spirit. Today as much as ever, artists use the talents of John Lennon the way Native Americans used the bison. Besides his musicianship and sensibility, we gain inspiration from his work ethic, his intellect, his literary skills, his presence onscreen, his comic timing, his artistic boldness, his naked candor, and his philosophy on life, which changed shape as his search for his own authenticity widened. “…The hardest thing is facing yourself. It’s much easier to shout “Revolution” and “Power to the People” than it is to take a look at yourself; find out what’s real inside you and what isn’t, when you’re pulling the wool over your own eyes, that’s the hardest one.’ It was no accident that Lennon left such a lasting musical legacy. He and McCartney had set out to do it purposely, to create music for future audiences as well as their own. But John had an even loftier goal: advancing the evolution of human consciousness. He talked and sang about it constantly, about how everyone could make it happen just by getting their minds together, “projecting our images in space and in time…raising the spirit of peace and love.” But he also warned us that the responsibility for bringing about such change lies in each of us as individuals. “You have to do it yourself…I can’t wake you up. You can wake you up. I can’t cure you. You can cure you.” We’ve been challenged, more than ever now, to recognize the man- made forces that lie behind our suffering; the prisons we’ve built for ourselves by limiting our thinking and our perceptions of reality; the ego-influenced illusions by which we live and die. These issues are front-page headlines, right now, every day, and that is why the words and dreams of John Lennon matter every bit as much now as they did then. At the heart of the matter is Truth, and it’s important to realize, as Lennon did, that Truth is not some inanimate object to be manipulated, but a natural force living in the fabric of the soul that must be respected. But first, it helps to remember the most simple and basic of all the man’s messages, the one he repeated over and over and would no doubt utter again if he had one more moment among us: I Love You. And we love you, too, John. Thanks!

TrulySignificant.com presents Christopher Wyze. Chris is debuting two new Christmas songs. He is coming back to our studio for a second time on the heals of winning the 2025 Blues Blast Music Awards.
Enjoy our conversation on what's important in life. We riff about Dr. Viktor Frankl, Sigmund Freud, and Bill Halamandaris.
Christopher Wyze & the Tellers has won the 2025 Blues Blast Music Award for Best New Artist Debut Album for their thirteen-track release, Stuck in the Mud. The album, which landed on multiple blues charts around the world, received critical acclaim for its raw storytelling and powerful, fresh take on contemporary blues.
Presented by Blues Blast Magazine, the Blues Blast Music Awards recognize excellence across the spectrum of blues styles and artists. A panel of blues industry professionals select nominees. Fan voting from around the world determines the winners. Joining Wyze & the Tellers in this year’s winner’s circle include Tab Benoit, Derek Trucks, Charlie Musselwhite, Shemekia Copeland, Bobby Rush, and Keb’ Mo,’ among others.
“We haven’t toured. We made a record of our original music — and let the music do the traveling,” shares frontman Christopher Wyze. “People told us we had to be out there gigging for the record to get noticed. We wrote, recorded, released, and built a fanbase around the world without ever hitting the road.”
The band of veteran blues musicians was formed specifically to record ‘Stuck in the Mud,’ with members all meeting for the first time in the studio. In the time between recording ‘Stuck in the Mud’ and their follow-up live album, ‘LIVE in CLARKSDALE,’ they played a single live gig — the live album performance – a fact that has made the group’s rise all the more improbable.
The band recorded ‘Stuck in the Mud’ in two of America’s most iconic musical locations: Clarksdale, Mississippi and Muscle Shoals, Alabama — both deeply rooted in the blues and roots traditions that inspire Wyze’s sound. It burst onto the scene in late summer of 2024 and quickly gained traction worldwide, with listeners streaming in 90 countries. A string of radio and streaming charting successes propelled the album, along with nine of its singles. The album landed #1 hits with “Back to Clarksdale” (RMR) and the title track, “Stuck in the Mud” (iTunes Blues Charts: Germany, Mexico). It climbed onto multiple Blues Charts: in U.S., U.K., France, Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and Australia. ‘Stuck in the Mud’ ended the year at #38 out of the Top 200 Blues Albums ranked by Roots Music Report (RMR) – one of just 3 albums by debut artists to break into the top 50.
“When I first heard Christopher Wyze, I felt something raw, honest, deeply rooted in the blues – and unique,” said Johnny Phillips. “I’ve seen more than a few acts through the years. He’s not trying to be anyone else. He’s telling his stories — doing it with soul, grit, and a harmonica that cuts straight through. We’re proud to have him on the Big Radio Records label. This award is a testament to what happens when you make good music.”
Christopher Wyze & the Tellers are currently working on new material and planning select live performances in 2026.

He has credits in shows such as Cobra Kai, Black Widow (though the reference came up in his business profile) and (notably) a recurring role on Will Trent. * In his interview he mentions his role as “Pete Chin” on Will Trent (a member of the cast) and how the character evolves into more personality and connection with the team over time. * Beyond acting, he founded “The Acting Career Center” (a YouTube channel + membership/community) where he teaches aspiring actors about the business and craft of acting.
What Makes Him Stand Out* The transition from tech/corporate to film/TV actor is relatively rare; his background gives him a unique perspective on both craft and business. * He is not just acting but also building a creator/educator identity (via his channel and membership), which broadens his influence beyond just onscreen roles. * He emphasizes mindset and process: in interview he shares lessons such as “nobody knows what they’re doing,” “don’t tie your self-worth to booking a job,” “enjoy the process,” * On Will Trent, he highlights that his character is reserved (matching part of himself) and works in an “office environment” setting, drawing parallels from his corporate days.

TrulySignificant.com talks to the creators of the rock opera- A Man of Fortune.
The team of Wooten, Murphy, and Clark debut the rock opera, “A Man of Fortune,” The opera is a passion project 50 years in the making - Originally conceived by Jeff Clark (formerly of Austin-based 70s rock band Too Smooth) in the 1970s and early 1980s, “A Man of Fortune” began as a deeply personal songwriting endeavor, telling the story of performer Max Million, who, at the height of his career, meets event coordinator Lisa. Their brief but meaningful encounter sparks a journey of self-discovery for Max after he collapses during the encore and is hospitalized. Clark tapped his friend Brian Wooten, (who has played with White Heart and currently plays with Trace Adkins), to produce and play guitar on the opera and Darin Murphy, (a staple in the Austin music scene with credits that include Skyrocket, Lennon (Musical on Broadway), HeartByrne, Pepperland Players work with Todd Rundgren and Christopher Cross) to sing and embody the role of Max Million on the opera.

Truly Significant presents the one and only Homer Hickam, best selling author of multiple books including Rocket Boys that was adapted for the feature movie October Sky.
He was born in a small West Virginia coal town called Coalwood — a place where dreams were supposed to be buried as deep as the mines themselves. His daddy ran the mine, his mama ran the house, and young Homer Hickam? Well… he ran outside one October night in 1957 and looked up.
There, streaking across the heavens, was Sputnik. And that—ladies and gentlemen—was the spark that lit a boy’s heart on fire. While other boys were learning to swing pickaxes, Homer was learning to launch rockets. He and his friends—the “Rocket Boys”—turned a scrap heap into a laboratory, a coal-town canyon into a launch pad, and failure after failure into something far greater: faith in possibility.
They were ridiculed by some, doubted by most. But Homer believed that curiosity was a kind of courage. He believed that science and wonder could lift a man out of his circumstances, without losing sight of where he came from. And years later, after college, after the Vietnam War, after NASA… Homer Hickam came home—not just to Coalwood, but to America’s imagination.
His memoir Rocket Boys became the book that inspired the film October Sky. A story that reminded us all that genius can bloom anywhere, that small towns can grow big dreams, and that sometimes—just sometimes—the most significant discoveries aren’t found in outer space… …but within ourselves.

TrulySignificant.com presents Dr. Gary Seale.
Heat levels are climbing year over year, continuously breaking the global heat record. As temperatures rise, so do life-threatening heat-related illnesses like heat stroke, which can cause permanent brain damage. Gary is the Regional Director of Clinical Services at Houston-based Centre for Neuro Skills, is available to talk about essential tips for heat stroke prevention and taking proactive measures to avoid heat stroke that can be the difference between life and death.
Centre for Neuro Skills, a brain injury and stroke rehabilitation provider, treats brain injuries caused by heat stroke. “Of all the heat-related illnesses, heat stroke is the most serious. Heat stroke occurs when the body is no longer able to regulate temperature and cool down,” says Dr. Seale.
“Body temperatures can rise rapidly to 104 degrees or higher which can cause damage to organs, including the brain, and result in permanent disability. Heat stroke can cause brain swelling, seizures, and lead to chronic inflammation, all of which disrupt brain function.”

He was born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the son of a railway worker in Buenos Aires. A boy who once swept floors and manned the register at a bar with his brother. By all accounts, an ordinary lad from a country stitched together by tango, politics, and prayer. But destiny, you see... destiny doesn’t always wear robes when it knocks. He was a chemical technician. A literature teacher. A janitor. And once, almost, a husband. For there was a girl, young and beautiful, to whom he wrote love letters. But his heart—his true heart—had already been spoken for by Someone Else. He joined the Jesuits, where vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience weren’t just ideals... they were marching orders. He walked the alleys of the forgotten, knelt beside the sick, and baptized the unwashed with the tenderness of a shepherd who knew every sheep by name. In March of 2013, white smoke spiraled above St. Peter’s Square, and a humble man stepped onto the world’s stage. Habemus Papam. And for the first time in 1,200 years, the Vicar of Christ bore a name never before taken—Francis. Not in gold, but in linen. Not in a limousine, but in a Ford Focus. Not behind palace gates, but among the poor. He refused to live in the Vatican’s ornate apostolic apartments. Instead, he chose a guest house with a single bed, a small desk, and a crucifix. The Pope, yes... but never far from the priest. He kissed the feet of Muslim refugees. He washed the hands of AIDS patients. He dared speak the words “Who am I to judge?” He turned doctrine into dialogue. Orthodoxy into empathy. And whether you agreed or not, you knew you were in the presence of someone utterly sincere. His critics said he was too soft, too political. But he simply said, “Mercy is the name of God.” He saw climate change as a moral issue. Inequality as a theological concern. He believed the Church should smell like the sheep—dusty, tired, and real. And then, as all men must, he reached his final days. No procession of marble horses. No velvet banners. Just the legacy of a man who tried, earnestly, to be more than a Pontiff. A bridge, truly. Between tradition and transformation. Between dogma and love. They say he died with a rosary in hand, a smile on his lips, and peace in his heart. And whether saint or sinner, Catholic or not, the world paused—just long enough—to say thank you. Thank you for showing us that greatness isn’t about standing above... but kneeling beside

When disaster strikes, the world watches. Homes crumble, lives are uprooted, and despair takes hold. But in the midst of chaos, there’s a sound—a rumble, not of the storm, but of hope arriving. It's the heartbeat of Mercy Chefs, a group of extraordinary volunteers serving meals to those in desperate need.
Mercy Chefs was born from a simple yet profound idea: to bring relief not just to the body but to the soul. Founded by Gary LeBlanc, a chef who traded in the glitz of restaurants for the grit of disaster zones, this nonprofit became a lifeline for those who felt forgotten. It started with hot meals, lovingly prepared, but it has grown into something more. Something deeper. Something... significant. In their role as first responders, Mercy Chefs have stood on the frontlines of humanity’s greatest challenges—hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and floods.
But the story here isn’t just the storms; it’s how they respond. They don’t just cook; they connect. They don’t just serve; they soothe. And they don’t ask what’s in it for them—they only ask, What can we do for you? The secret to their success lies in their core values, values that speak louder than any winds. They believe in dignity, ensuring that every plate served looks as good as it tastes. Because to Mercy Chefs, food isn’t just nourishment—it’s a message: You matter. They believe in compassion, rolling up their sleeves and working long hours, driven not by obligation but by love. And they believe in service, living a lifestyle of giving, not because they have to, but because they choose to. You see, Mercy Chefs are more than volunteers. They are givers. They don’t give what’s left over—they give their best. They serve strangers like family. They don’t worry about accolades, only outcomes. Because to them, life isn’t about taking—it’s about giving back.

Margaret Swallow devoted 23 years in the corporate world mastering the intricacies of brand management and strategy at P&G with five years working on Folger Coffee brand. She was successful by every conventional measure: a career on an upward trajectory, influence, and a reputation as a trusted leader. But, for Margaret, success wasn’t enough.
It was a crisis that became the turning point. A global crisis within the coffee industry revealed a hard truth to Margaret: billions of dollars flowed through an industry that started with small, family-run farms—families that were often overlooked in the economic equation. For Margaret, this revelation resonated deeply. “It starts with families,” she said. “Growing families were part of my essence, whether biological or the family I became part of through life. That, for me, became my coffee family.” So, Margaret left the corporate world to answer a louder calling: to create significance through the very industry that had captured her heart. She joined the Coffee Quality Institute (CQI), leveraging her skills to help families around the globe. Margaret’s efforts were far-reaching, but they started small—with a ripple. Margaret, who had developed training programs at P&G, saw an opportunity to bring that experience to the nonprofit world. She designed a Women in Coffee Leadership Program, modeled after the Marketing Director College she had once spearheaded. But this program wasn’t just about theory; it was interactive, practical, and transformative. From 2005 to 2006, Margaret’s program took root, inspiring the creation of the International Women’s Coffee Alliance (IWCA). www.womenincoffee.org The IWCA’s ripple began as a single chapter in Costa Rica. But Margaret, inspired by the Rotary Club’s model of local chapters, envisioned something far bigger. Today, there are over thirty IWCA chapters worldwide, each empowering women in coffee-growing communities to receive funding directly—without intermediaries. “It’s about families helping families,” Margaret said. “And it’s about enabling local leaders to take charge of their own futures.” The ripple effects didn’t stop there. Margaret worked with the University of Maryland to establish an alternative break program. Starting in 2010, students traveled to Los Andes, a coffee farm in Guatemala, to experience the harvest firsthand.
Over a decade, hundreds of students learned not just about coffee but about the lives and resilience of the families who cultivate it. “I wanted to connect people to a place I’d send my own family,” Margaret reflected. And she did just that. For Margaret, it wasn’t just about building programs; it was about fostering relationships. One of those relationships was with Phyllis Johnson, who co-founded the Coffee Coalition for Racial Equity, further expanding the industry’s impact and inclusivity. Margaret’s work inspired others to create ripples of their own, each wave building on the last. When asked if she would have followed this path without the crisis, Margaret’s answer was measured. “I think so. But the crisis crystallized the need. It made me ask, ‘Where can I make the greatest difference?’”
And Margaret’s blueprint for creating significance? Start with understanding the need, she advises. Commit realistically and execute with excellence. Whether it’s a small epiphany—a "little e"—or a life-altering one, she emphasizes the importance of starting where you can and growing from there. Would she do it all again? Margaret smiled. “I wouldn’t change a thing. Those 23 years at P&G prepared me for this work. They gave me the tools, the confidence, and the perspective. Everything I’ve done since then has been about giving back, about creating a ripple effect that matters.” And now, the rest of her life is still unfolding, one ripple at a time. Margaret Swallow—a woman who traded success for significance—is proof that the best part of waking up is finding meaning in your cup.

St. Paul Lutheran, Taylor, Texas
It's been said that it’s easier to enter the church kitchen door than the church door itself. Petie Tocquigny knew that truth well, and today, we are about to find out exactly what she meant. You see, across America, in over 200,000 church kitchens, a quiet army of more than 20 million volunteers is at work. Their mission? To serve. Their motto? “We live to serve.”
And oh, the characters we have met who Serve It Up. So let’s take a little trip together, down to the heart of Texas, to a town named Taylor. Home of friendly faces, world-famous barbecue, the Taylor Ducks, and a church kitchen that has warmed more than just bellies. At St. Paul Lutheran, they are keeping big hearts in a small town, even as Taylor grows into a hub for semiconductor chips, thanks to the arrival of Samsung. But technology aside, today we’re interested in a different kind of power. The power of a kitchen. The power of service. The power of the people behind it all.
We step through the kitchen door at St. Paul Lutheran, where generations have gathered, and where my wife, Carla Rohlack, originated. Today, she returns to her roots to see what’s cooking—literally and spiritually. There is Jeanie Schneider, a veteran church kitchen lady, famous for her casseroles and cookies. You might even recognize her—her caricature graces Gracefully Yours greeting cards, celebrating the unsung, humorous heroes of the church kitchen.
On the Saturday night before a potluck brunch, Jeanie shared her secrets. In her home, a handful of faithful friends gathered to talk about St. Paul, potluck traditions, and, of course, pie. There was laughter, wisdom, and a serious commitment to making sure Sunday morning would be just right. The headline that night? “We are ready to serve, whoever walks through the door.” Sunday morning arrives. The Servin’ Up team is already in action, led by Rita Kelm. She has volunteered in the kitchen since the very first Sunday brunch. Since 7:45 a.m., Rita, Jeanie, Janet Brinkmeyer, Gayle Collins, Shirley Evans, Wandeen Sankewitz, Marilyn Artieschoufsky, Carmen McCleery, and Sandra Umiker have been heating up the kitchen, brewing Folgers coffee, sweetening iced tea, and making lemonade. The tables are set for autumn, even though the Texas sun insists it’s still summer. In the narthex, we find Don Artieschoufsky. He has a story to tell. Servin’ Up isn’t just about food. It’s about action. Habitat for Humanity has found a strong ally in St. Paul Lutheran, as has Shepherd’s Heart. Through their efforts, they give others faith and resources to help them sustain their lives.
They give them a reason to believe, to have the faith they are going to need to press on, and perhaps even help others—paying it forward. Pastor Qualley welcomes everyone, including those who might otherwise feel unwelcome. The homeless are not turned away. They are not shunned. They are, instead, seen, heard, and fed—both in body and spirit. Because, after all, the words of Christ remind us, “Whatever you did for the least of these, you did for me.” Back in the fellowship hall, the feast is ready. What’s on the table today? Burritos. Cheese queso, a recipe from Naomi Pasemann. Chick-fil-A nuggets, Golden Chick, casseroles from—well, almost everyone. And lasagna, because you can never go wrong with lasagna. And of course, a disproportionate amount of dessert. Apple pie from H-E-B—a church kitchen shortcut that still gets the job done.
And a peach cobbler from Janell, age 92, who has been serving up sweetness since 1945. Jeanie’s cookies are standouts. We see Christine Rohlack, the first woman president of the congregation along with her husband Thomas. She believes in leading by serving. Her two sons are already following in her footsteps, learning the St. Paul tradition of putting others first. Teaching the significance of service to the next generation is a priority. And in walks Pastor Qualley into the kitchen, a man with a particular weakness for a church kitchen classic—pimento cheese sandwiches. The plates are full. The hearts, even fuller.
This is what a place of significance is all about. Feeding others, and in turn, feeding the soul. But the real work? That begins on Monday. Because a place of significance isn’t just for Sunday events. It’s a way of life. It’s the home of the Ruth Circle, which serves grieving families, arranging for celebration-of-life meals following funerals. Then there is the next Habitat for Humanity project, filling the pantry at Shepherd’s Heart food pantry, the church garage sale, and the opening day for the St. Paul Child Development Center. As the hymn goes, His compassion bids us bear, stirring us to ardent service, your abundant life to share. It’s about bringing what you can in time, talent, and treasure, so someone else can have what they need. It’s the heartbeat of a community, and ultimately, a way to serve the Creator who made us all. What’s a place of significance? Anywhere volunteers stand ready to serve others.

Mariama Kamara- Mom who adopted the murderer of her son Back when we were broadcasting Mentoring Monday, I was told a story of forgiveness so profound, it could soften even the hardest of hearts. It begins in a small village in Sierra Leone, a nation torn apart by an 11-year civil war, a conflict so devastating that it scarred not just the land but the souls of its people.
Lives were uprooted, families torn asunder, and a deep, abiding pain lingered long after the fighting ceased. Amid this wreckage lived Mariama Kamara. A mother who, like countless others, had suffered an unspeakable loss. Her son, her pride, her joy, had been taken from her—murdered in cold blood by a young rebel fighter. This was a time when children, some as young as 10, were turned into soldiers. They were armed, manipulated, and made to commit atrocities in the name of war.
Mariama’s son was just one of thousands of innocent lives lost. But this story is not about loss. It is about what came next. Mariama, driven by a deep faith and a belief in something greater than vengeance, did something unimaginable. She forgave. More than that, she took the young man who had killed her son into her home. She adopted him. Yes, you heard that right. The woman who had every reason to hate, to seek revenge, chose instead to heal—not just herself, but him as well. Why? She said it was her faith. She believed that harboring hatred would only perpetuate the violence that had already stolen so much from her and her country.
“I wanted to stop the cycle,” she said. “If I didn’t forgive, who would? And if I didn’t forgive, how could I ask God to forgive me?” Mariama’s act of forgiveness became a beacon in Sierra Leone, a country struggling to heal. Her story was one of many that emerged from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), a cornerstone of Sierra Leone’s post-war recovery process. The TRC was established in 2002 to document the causes and consequences of the war, give survivors a voice, and promote healing through storytelling.

We were visiting the George Herbert Walker Bush Presidential Library in College Station, Texas with David and Sallie Burnett in April of 2022. David took the seat behind the Resolute Desk and said these prophetic words- “It is up to us to give back to society. It is what makes us great.”
Not all giants stand tall. Some walk among us quietly, leaving footprints not in sand but in the hearts of those they meet. Such was David Burnett. Lafayette, Colorado, is like many small towns—a place where neighbors know each other’s names, where the rhythm of life hums along at a steady, familiar pace. But every so often, a soul comes along who doesn’t just live in a town, across a cul-de-sac, but weaves himself into its very fabric. David Burnett was that kind of man.
He was more than just a neighbor—he was a force for good. A board member on countless nonprofit organizations, he didn’t just believe in making a difference; he did it, over and over again. And not by standing on soapboxes, not with grand speeches, but with something far more powerful: a giving heart, a generous spirit, and the courage to ask others to join him. Consider this: David served on the board of the Association for Community Living in Boulder County, advocating for those with developmental disabilities. He sat on the finance committee, ensuring funds were wisely allocated to provide services and opportunities for those who needed them most. At EPIC, he was a trusted advisor, working to expand employer-sponsored childcare. He understood that when working parents had reliable childcare, families and businesses thrived.
And so, he worked. Not for accolades. Not for recognition. But because it was the right thing to do. He lent his expertise and heart to the Saint Joseph Hospital Foundation Board, knowing that quality healthcare should never be a privilege—it should be a promise. And the YMCA of Northern Colorado? David’s fingerprints are there, too. The recent opening of the Inspire Preschool and Infant Care was a testament to his unwavering belief that all children—regardless of background—deserved a strong start. His dream was free universal preschool, a vision he pursued with the same fire that fueled his every endeavor. Some people shy away from asking for help. Not David. He knew the secret—people want to give; they just need someone to show them how. And he was that someone. A phone call, a handshake, a moment of eye contact—David had a way of making you believe that yes, you could do more, you should do more. And because he believed it, you believed it too. He and his wife, Sallie, raised their daughter, Brittany, with the same values. She watched, she learned, she followed in his footsteps. Devoting her life to nonprofits wasn’t just a career choice; it was a calling, a legacy. Her father’s legacy. And that legacy lives on. Recently, the David Burnett Childcare Center opened at the YMCA of Northern Colorado. Brittany said, “Dad worked so incredibly hard for this project and for free universal preschool for children of all ages across Colorado. His vision was to open access for early childhood education to give them a chance to succeed at an early age. I am proud of his legacy and heart for others.” As for David’s career? He was a bank executive with Wells Fargo who happened to see beyond the money and into the currency of life itself. But even the strongest among us are not invincible. Colon cancer came for David at 55. Too soon. Far too soon. And yet, some legacies are not measured in years but in lives touched. In lessons taught. In communities made stronger, charities made richer, hearts made fuller. David Burnett was better than a friend. Better than a brother. More than next of kin. He was a resolute role model.

Bill also talks about rules and how they get in the way of "living constantly" as a person connected to God, not showing signs of separation.
Is FEAR the separation point from God? How does grace and redemption answer the problem of separation from God?

What is the Success Complex? It is what is stopping you!
Listen to author Adrian Kelly talking about time, control and performance psychology. Adrian's greatest gift to us all is his work as the author of The Success Complex. From his home country of Ireland, he shared the journey that led him to write this transformative book. By trade, Adrian is a lawyer, having spent many years as a criminal defense solicitor. But the financial crash in Ireland in 2010 prompted a deep reevaluation of his life. This reflection led him to pivot from law to renewable energy, where he worked alongside an entrepreneur to develop innovative wind and solar energy products. For nearly a decade, Adrian applied his skills to shaping sustainable solutions, only to discover that his true passion lay elsewhere. He transitioned into government work, helping businesses navigate imports and exports. Yet, it was in coaching—helping entrepreneurs and businesses operate more effectively—that Adrian found his most fulfilling calling. It was through this coaching work that Adrian’s curiosity about success deepened. Over the course of four years, he researched and wrote The Success Complex, a book designed to probe the barriers that hold people back from truly achieving success. The title itself—The Success Complex—reflects Adrian’s central thesis: success is often a paradox. Like a psychological complex that inhibits action, the pursuit of success can sometimes leave even the most accomplished individuals unfulfilled. “I found, working with many entrepreneurs and business people over a number of years, that even people who were materially successful—successful on the outside—didn’t feel successful on the inside. They didn’t feel fulfilled,” Adrian explained. “In many cases, these individuals lacked something truly precious: time. Time to spend with family. Time to control their own lives. Often, their businesses ended up owning them rather than the other way around.”

Laurinel Owen shares her tale of intrigue, love, devotion and betrayal through her memoir Strings Attached.
She arrived in apartheid South Africa on Christmas Day, eager to discover where her cello playing could take her. From the stage, she saw him for the first time. Their life together was bliss until he invited her to the family vacation home: when she knocked, his wife opened the door. But she couldn't give up on him.
He followed her back to America, where they married and lived together for twenty-two years. Then, upon his death, his daughter announced, "My parents were never divorced."Laurinel would discover that her husband, Klaus, was a bigamist who had bilked her of thousands of dollars, as well as the son of a Nazi murderer who fled the US amid FBI accusations of being the head of the American Gestapo.
Strings Attached reveals the author's self-deception and the high price to be paid for denial. Far worse than the three-continent lawsuit was the shame, guilt, and anxiety over her part in this real-life drama. Though music was her anchor, she healed through various traditional and nontraditional modalities. Laurinel Owen's story will inspire anyone who has loved, been betrayed, and is seeking recovery and support.

Did you know that even if you win the rat race, when you finish, you are still a rat? So says one of our favorite mentors, Dr. Ken Blanchard.
Here are a few takeaways.
1. Start your day slower. How would you like to be today?
2. At the end of the day, consider writing a few things or PRAISINGS and also know where you should be pivoting the next day.
3. Effective leaders think "how can WE win together?"
4. Next time you get into a sand trap, don't say Oh Shit, I'm in the sandtrap. Look at it as an opportunity, not a trap.
What did Ken's board of director, Pat Hyman advise at 99 years of age? Set direction, then get out of the way.

It's rhythm and melody on steroids with David Messier debuting Bang! It's David Arbuckle his alter ego. The film and album debut September 26th at the AFS Cinema.
This is a funny conversation who was a fan of the Muppets and got his musical start from watching Michael J. Fox in Back to Future.
With this record, you will hear Heavens to Murgertroid, Up & Out, Superman and the intro/outro of the show- No One Can Stop Me. The music is surreal, a bit askew. The lyrics and film are art to be consumed.
Recorded at his studio Same Sky Productions, completed with the sound engineer Andre Cantave, assistant engineer Jackie Goff, mixed by Tim Palmer (Pearl Jam/David Bowie). Chris Athens mastered the album. Scott Clark on guitar and background vocals, Matt Giles on guitar, Chris "Spanky" Alexander on bass, Eldridge Goins on drums, Warren Hood on fiddle, John Mills on saxophone, Kevin Flatt on trumpet, Mike Mordecai on trombone, Noelle Hampton, BettySoo, and Ange Kogutz on background vocals. Leigh Wallenhaupt and Abi Shiman on violin. Luis Bellorin played viola and Rylie Harrod on cello.
Could it be that David Arbuckle, David Messier's alter ego, has learned how to produce music and not over work it? The alter ego's music is more powerful, more experimental and sounds like he got out of his own way.

Innovative Connections was founded by Dr. Laurie Cure. Hear about the five generations that are currently employed in the work force.
As people are living longer, work is experienced differently with a unique look toward retirement.
We are not completely exited the workforce. Baby Boomers don't want to lose their passion and purpose.
How should leaders interact with all five generations? First, drop all the stigmas. Think about how to lead a diverse aged group. Remember, across all generations, what do we ALL want from work?
At 40,000 feet, work needs to be meaningful. Good leaders connect meaning to work regardless of the age. All workers want flexibility. It's not just Gen Z.
The big lesson for all employees is "don't run away from something. Run toward the challenge and find meaning."
Relative to ageism, never forget that Baby Boomer wisdom is untouchable.

Though Larry Stewart was exposed to music early on, it was sports that initially captured his attention. After receiving a baseball scholarship to Nashville’s Belmont College, Larry, whose father had passed away from a heart condition, found music as a way to close the gap he was feeling without his dad.“In some ways, I moved to Nashville to live out my father’s dream,” admits Larry Stewart of what was to become his musical destiny. “When I got here, there were all kinds of people who valued musical talent–and I found myself slowly fitting into the music business.”“The way I act is very normal. I just do what I do and let it go at that,” explains the soft-spoken vocalist. “It comes from growing up in a small town where the people respected each other and looked after each other. The values I learned there pretty much shape the way I look at the world around me.“I had a pretty basic childhood. My parents loved me and I was around music from the first day I remember. My dad was a great singer and as I got older, I played piano for him, but I also played a lot of sports. They gave me support with whatever I did. They taught me lessons and gave me the tools to seek my dreams.”“Being in Restless Heart showed me how powerful music can be,” Stewart says, defining his motivations. “I always knew how much it moved me–and there I saw it did the same thing to other people. To me, you need to sing songs for more than yourself. Making records is a privilege. I think you need to find songs that might give people a little insight into their own lives. Or give them words they may not have to tell the people they care for how they’re feeling.

Their exquisite lighting company started with a diminuative strip light from Switzerland. Gilbert negotiated the rights to market this light in the United States. A friend at Frost Brothers suggested that that call it Lucifer Light which means bearer of light in Latin.

Parents of two daughters, now leaders in the business, they have accomplished nothing short of a world class enterprise that is a "lighting practice" constantly improving, constantly designing the next enhancement to architecture.

Legendary storytellers Rick Kaufman and Glenn Allen riff about their seminal book and upcoming series Played: The Games of the 1936 Berlin Olympics. They tell heartbreaking stories that help us conclude that the 1936 Olympics was the most significant games of all time.
They have written this important book through the lens of historians, weaving important people and details together to tell the bigger story.
The mentors of Rick and Glenn are no less than Ron Howard, President Bill Clinton, and Jonathan Demme. Both were taught to trust their own instincts.
Purchase the book today and enjoy reading about American Olympic Committee President Avery Brundage, unmoved by the new Nazi regime's anti-Jewish doctrines. He leads the fight to participate in the 1936 Berlin Games after much debate of a U.S. boycott. Brundage desperately wants to be on the International Olympic Committee. If he doesn't get the Americans to Berlin, he can kiss that dream goodbye.
When the vote is decided in Brundage’s favor, AP Sports Editor, Alan J. Gould, friend and champion of the athletes, travels to Berlin to cover all of the “games” being played. Through his eyes we see the machinations of Brundage’s complicity with the Nazis, the tenacity of the proud American athletes, and the extreme pressure from the Nazis on their German athletes. Their stories, heartbreaking and tragic, give rise to feats of heroism that go beyond the playing field.
PLAYED is a cauldron of politics, sports, espionage and courage. Along the way we meet some of the most famous people of the time; Mae West, Charlie Chaplin, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Joseph Goebbels, Leni Riefenstahl, Eva Braun and the madman himself,

Becky Diamond graces our studio talking about her latest book- The Guilded Age Cookbook.
Delight guests this holiday season with rich tasting recipes and decorating suggestions from the famously extravagant Gilded Age with Becky Libourel Diamond’s The Gilded Age Cookbook:
Recipes and Stories from America's Golden Era. In it, Diamond includes recipes for classic holiday fare such as roast turkey, as well as more unique entrees like deviled spaghetti; historical facts about 19th century celebrations; and stunning photos.
Other dishes on the holiday menu are peas served in turnip cups, steamed halibut with egg sauce, and of course, the coveted plum pudding.
“The food served on Christmas Day was supposed to be rich, frivolous, delicious, and appealing to both children and adults …” Diamond wrote in the book. “As a result, Christmas dinner was one of the most carefully planned meals of the year for Gilded Age women.”
Throughout The Gilded Age Cookbook, Diamond dishes up a masterful blend of recipes for timeless favorites, decorating tips, and fun facts that both history buffs and foodies will appreciate. Chapters cover Culinary Innovations, Outdoor Eats, Dining Out, By Invitation Only, and of course, Holidays.
With a tasteful combination of easy-to-follow recipes, artistry and history, readers can expect to get a good sense of what the Gilded Age looked (and tasted) like through The Gilded Age Cookbook.
“A beautifully designed and photographed cookbook, filled with intriguing stories. The parties and events may have been excessive, but the classic recipes here look simple and doable to make,” said Dianne Jacob, author of Will Write for Food.

Kellie Whitton has moved her life from success to significance. Be warned of this emotionally charged conversation.
It all began when Kellie, a working mom of two young kids received a breast cancer diagnosis at the age of 44.
Kellie was lucky to be surrounded by an incredible network of generous friends and family who wanted to help but didn’t know how. The trouble was, she didn’t know, either.
It was after going through chemotherapy, 3 surgeries and 30 rounds of radiation that she realized she wanted to help other women in the same situation—along with their family and friends. And so she founded CaraKit with a friend who had been impacted as a cancer caregiver as well.
Now staffed by a passionate and talented team, CaraKit is based in Los Angeles, bringing a bit of luxury, comfort and hope to every kit.
What does significance look like to you? Does it mean using your life experience to change the lives of others, without any expectations of anything in return?

Back in 1992, Christine Albert was asked to come to death bed of John Swann. John wanted to hear his favorite songs from one of his favorite Austin musicians. Christine's music brought peace, comfort, kindness and a touch of grace as John transitioned to his eternal home.
In 2005, Christine Albert founded Swan Songs, a nonprofit bringing last musical wishes to people with terminal illnesses. Receiving around one or two requests daily for private performances, Swan Songs has fulfilled over 1,000 unique requests for music at the end of life. Albert began using her natural talent in 1992 to bring musical wishes to those facing the end of their lives. It wasn’t until years later that Albert and her friend Gaea Logan, an Austin psychotherapist, recognized the benefit of making music more available to patients in hospice care by merging the healthcare and music communities.
Here is a touching testimonial that expresses the spirit of Swan Songs.
“Thank you, Swan Songs, for giving my dying mother a true gift. The pleasant and professional musician showed up with his guitar, sat at the foot of her bed and serenaded Mom with her favorite country classics for almost an hour. The photographer captured magic moments of the joy radiating from Mom’s face. The planner prepared thoroughly and attended to ensure that all went well. It did; far beyond our expectations. These days Mom doesn’t remember when I visit. The morning after the concert she awoke humming and asking for ‘Cowboy George.’ Thank you for stimulating old memories and creating new ones of her favorite music. Thank you for honoring her well.” - Daughter of a recipient

Bill Toti is more than just an author. He is a legendary Naval leader and former CEO of Sparton. More than enough credentials to write an important book about transitioning from the military to industry.
Hear this today:
More than 50% of military veterans walk away from their first job within two years of being hired.Your company is likely losing millions in recruiting and compensation when veteran employees quit
and have to be replaced.
How would your company be different if you could beat these odds?
Bringing a wealth of wisdom,retired US Navy captain and former CEO of Sparton Corporation,William Toti is the voice of authority on military transition to industry, industry leadership, and many incredible events in US history.
Problem Statement:
* Your company likely spends millions of dollars recruiting and compensating your military veteran employees.
* Statistics indicate that more than half of veterans will fail in their first job out of the military.
* More will voluntarily leave their first company after recognizing their failure to adapt to their new job or company culture.
* These sunk costs cannot be recouped by your company.
* As a 26-year military veteran, a 15-year corporate executive and hiring manager, to include a tenure as CEO, William Toti understands why this happens and how to minimize that loss.
* To use the military expression, if your company approaches the problem of veteran employee training and retention the same way despite repeated failures, you are “steering by your wake.”
* William can help you learn how to avoid millions of dollars lost when your military veteran employees fail to transition effectively into your company.

For Stuart Shanker, the possibility of a truly just and free society begins with how we see and nurture our children.Shanker is renowned for using cutting-edge neuroscience to help children feel happy and think clearly by better regulating themselves. In his new book, Reframed, Shanker explores self-regulation in wider, social terms. Whereas his two previous books, Calm, Alert, and Learning and Self-Reg, were written for educators and parents, Reframed, the final book in the trilogy, unpacks the unique science and conceptual practices that are the very lifeblood of Self-Reg, making it an accessible read for new Self-Reggers.Reframed is grounded in the three basic principles of Shanker Self-Reg®:- There is no such thing as a bad, lazy, or stupid kid.- All people can learn to self-regulate in ways that promote rather than constrict growth.- There is no such thing as a "fixed outcome": trajectories can always be changed, at any point in the lifespan, if only we have the right knowledge and tools.Only a society that embraces these principles and strives to practice them, argues Shanker, can become a truly just society. The paradigm revolution presented in Reframed not onlyhelps us understand the harrowing time we are living through, but inspires a profound sense of hope for the future. Shanker shows us how to build a compassionate society, one mind at a time.

-
Your actions create opportunities for other other actions.
-
Nobody has everything figured out. Everyone struggles with something.
-
How you perceive the world and how you interact with the world are two different things. Optimists, as much we love them, won't always make you feel good.

David "Lightning" Robison is back. Today we explore his life as a musician and the beginning as a child prodigy.
Enjoy hearing about David's role in The Workx, the eight piece band that performs Linda! Linda! a Linda Ronstadt tribute band.
Listen to David's upbringing relative to our research on prodigy.
A child prodigy, like David, who played piano at three years old, possessed a unique combination of innate talents, environmental factors, and early exposure to music. The development of a child prodigy in any field, including music, is a rare occurrence, and there is no single formula that guarantees the emergence of such extraordinary abilities.
Listen to David and learn about factors that contributed to the development as a young musical prodigy:
1. Innate Talent: Some children are born with exceptional cognitive, motor, and auditory abilities that allow them to grasp musical concepts more easily. These natural talents might include a heightened sense of pitch, rhythm, memory, and coordination.
2. Early Exposure to Music: Children who are exposed to music from an early age are more likely to develop an affinity for it. If a child is surrounded by music and musical instruments, they may be more inclined to explore and experiment with them.
3. Supportive Environment: Having supportive parents, family members, or mentors who recognize and encourage the child's interest in music can play a crucial role. They may provide access to resources, lessons, and opportunities for the child to develop their skills.
4. Intensive Practice and Training: Even for prodigious children, regular and focused practice is essential for skill development. A prodigy may have an intense desire to practice and display an exceptional ability to learn quickly.
5. Passion and Drive: Genuine passion and enjoyment for music can drive a child to spend long hours practicing and refining their skills, leading to rapid progress and proficiency.
6. Excellent Memory and Learning Abilities: Child prodigies often have exceptional memory and learning capabilities, allowing them to absorb complex musical patterns and techniques with relative ease.
7. Parental Involvement: Parents of prodigies may play an active role in fostering their child's talent, whether through providing encouragement, finding appropriate mentors, or creating a conducive learning environment.
8. Exposure to High-Quality Music: Regular exposure to high-quality music and performances can inspire a child and provide them with examples of what is possible to achieve with dedication and practice.
9. Emotional Support: Emotional support and a nurturing environment are crucial for a child's development as a musician. A child who feels secure and encouraged is more likely to flourish in their musical pursuits.
10. Unconventional Learning: Some prodigies might learn in unconventional ways, relying on their intuition and creativity to grasp musical concepts, rather than following traditional methods.

Tanner Rowley is the Founder and CEO of Outer Woods, an incredible company based in Austin, Texas. Tanner designs, engineers, builds and finishes the most extraordinary custom furniture in Texas.
Enjoy hearing Tanner's personal story. "I grew up with an insatiable desire to create and design. While I immersed myself heavily in the arts to feed this trait, the world pushed me towards science, technology, and engineering. I went to The University of Texas and obtained my degree in biomedical engineering, and from there I went on to product development engineering. . I wasn’t happy trying to pretend like I was something that I deep down wasn’t. I wanted to take the risk to abandon what I had been educated and trained for, to abandon a stable salary, to abandon the idea that my job title had to look a certain way to feel good about myself. all of this pushed me to create Outer Woods.
Outer Woods is a venture where I design beautiful and efficiently engineered pieces out of the world's most beautiful wood. I’m excited to grow this business organically with marketing, and data, and good relationships.
Life is short, and I truly believe that the regrets you will have years from now will be more on the things you didn’t do rather than the things that you did do. Take risks. Make mistakes. Live an interesting story. Outer Woods will strive to do this every day no matter where we go or what we end up doing. We feel that you should do the same in whatever capacity speaks to you.

Dr. Viktor Frankl is honored by his protege Bill Halamandaris and Dr. Jay Lombard, author of The Mind of God. Why is Viktor significant?
While Frankl rarely touches on the topic of the pursuit of happiness, he is very concerned with satisfaction and fulfillment in life. We can see this in his preoccupation with addressing depression, anxiety and meaninglessness. (Frankl 1992, p. 143).
In the pursuit of meaning, Frankl recommends three different kinds of experience: through deeds, the experience of values through some kind of medium (beauty through art, love through a relationship, etc.) or suffering. While the third is not necessarily in the absence of the first two, within Frankl’s frame of thought, suffering became an option through which to find meaning and experience values in life in the absence of the other two opportunities (Frankl 1992, p. 118).
Frankl famously stated that: “Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it.” Though for Frankl, joy could never be an end to itself, it was an important byproduct of finding meaning in life. He points to studies where there is marked difference in life spans between “trained, tasked animals,” i.e., animals with a purpose, than “taskless, jobless animals.” And yet it is not enough simply to have something to do, rather what counts is the “manner in which one does the work” (Frankl 1986, p. 125)
MERLE HAGGARD, WHO over six decades composed and performed one of the greatest repertoires in country music, capturing the American condition with his stories of the poor, the lost, the working class, heartbroken and hard-living, lived for 79 years.
In American and country music, few artists loomed larger. Haggard’s career spanned 38 Number One country hits, and his rough hard-edged style influenced country and rock & roll artists from Waylon Jennings and Gram Parsons to Jamey Johnson and Eric Church. As a songwriter, Willie Nelson called him “one of the best.” “Merle Haggard has always been as deep as deep gets,” Bob Dylan told Rolling Stone in 2009. “Totally himself. Herculean.
Even too big for Mount Rushmore. No superficiality about him whatsoever. He definitely transcends the country genre. If Merle had been around Sun Studio in Memphis in the Fifties, Sam Phillips would have turned him into a rock & roll star, one of the best.”Haggard didn’t have to look far for material. His greatest songs – the Depression-era poverty described in “Hungry Eyes,” the prison diaries “Sing Me Back Home” and “Mama Tried,” the hard-living anthems like “I Think I’ll Just Stay Here and Drink” and “Back to the Barrooms” – were all taken from the pages of his own life. He was born April 6th, 1937 near Bakersfield, California, two years after his family moved west from Oklahoma during the great dust bowl migration.
Haggard’s father found work on the railroad, playing fiddle in roadhouse bands on the side, and bought the family a $500 boxcar house. When Haggard was nine, he lost his father to a stroke, setting him on a path of what he called “illegal motion.” A year later, he hopped his first train with a friend, riding for 18 hours until getting caught. “I tried to explain [to my mother] that anybody could ride with a pass; it took a man to ride the way we had,” he said.
Ed Artzt served as P&G’s CEO and Chairman from 1990-1995. During his extensive 41-year career, Ed worked in multiple business sectors, all with a moral compass.
In this interview focused on mentoring, Ed taught us that future CEO's should master the fundamentals of good communication both orally and in writing. Secondly, learn to think strategically and know the difference from execution. Third, develop social intelligence.
I had the rare pleasure of collaborating with Ed on the epilogue to the book When Core Values are Strategic. In one word, this man was all about INTEGRITY.
Ed brought strong leadership, strategic insight, remarkable decisiveness, and an unrelenting drive to be Number One. His time as the Chief Executive was a period of unprecedented change in the global marketplace. Ed foresaw and implemented innovative transformations from restructuring the organization’s design, the divestiture of non-strategic businesses, new acquisitions, opening new markets, and building the diversity of P&G’s leadership.
With Ed’s recent passing, we want to honor his memory by replaying our 2020 conversation where Ed shared his perspectives competitive advantage of core values. His stories illuminate concrete lessons from both P&G’s successes and failures which speak directly to the challenges business leaders continue to face today.
For more on Ed’s life and learnings be sure to purchase his oral history: P&G the Globalization Years: Lessons Learned during Procter & Gamble’s Transformation from an American Exporter to a Global Marketer. You can also read his insightful epilogue by purchasing the When Core Values are Strategic.

Regina E. Herzlinger is a glass celiing crasher, ground breaking icon as the godmother of consumer driven healthcare and first ever woman tenured professor at Harvard Business School. As we celebrate Women's History Month, we recognize Regina as a national treasure trove of wisdom, authenticity, and purpose.
We think this particular conversation defines the success to significance journey we hope to inspire.
Her story is rich. Born in Palestine, she retells the story of the furrowed bullet that she escaped. Hear about her parents that survived the Holocaust and went on to shape Regina's dogged determination.
This capitivating conversation is highlighted by Regina's warrior spirit. Her hardship and triumphs have made her strong and fearless. Her authenticity is wondrous.
In this ultimate mentoring "conversation of significance" Regina underscores that we need lots of mentors, but mentorship is never sufficient. Make sure your success is measureable with metrics associated with what you want to accomplish. Remember "don't be so fixated on wearing the mantle of 'the successful woman' that you lose who you are. Never forget to enjoy the journey. Not being afraid to be ourselves draws others to us, but it also makes for a better life."
In Regina's book, Innovating in Healthcare: Creating Breakthrough Services, Products and Business Models (Wiley, 2024), you will get the message to think big and be an equal opportunity disrupter. Raising holy hell and stirring up red-hot hostility is a good thing.
"Keep thinking" is an important, lifetime mantra. For Regina, there is NO should have, could have, or would have. Be mission driven and forceful. And when you hit a dead end, move on quickly.
Listen carefully to this. "Don't be a mother." Regina isn't suggesting women shouldn't have children. Her and her husband have two. What Regina means is that women present in a maternal way, concerned more with coaching and support than mission.
In 40 minutes, you will fall in love with Regina E. Herzlinger. You will be inspired to be a lifelong learner. This skill will be the soul of innovation, give you purpose and intention that will fuel your life.
"You have to do something good." Yes, we do Regina Herzlinger!

He's Bob Schneider, musician and songwriter extraordinaire.
Learn how Bob writes songs, hones his craft and produces music of significance.
He is an Austin, Texas–based musician and former lead singer of the rock band Ugly Americans. He has released around a dozen albums, mostly on his own Shockorama label. Lonelyland (2001) was licensed through Universal Records,while in 2005 distribution deal with Vanguard Records saw his albums made widely available.In 2009 he signed to Kirtland Records and put out Lovely Creatures, A Perfect Day, and Burden of Proof. His record The King Kong Suite was released on Shockorama Records in 2015.
The son of an opera singer, he moved with his parents to Germany when he was two, while his father received instruction from noted vocal teachers. It led to a marginal existence as “my parents had this big plan, but my dad just didn’t have the voice". He learned guitar and piano at an early age, and performed at his parents' parties.
He studied art in college, while performing in his first band, a funk-rock outfit called Joe Rockhead. The band independently released three albums before disbanding. Schneider subsequently performed with Ugly Americans who were an opening act for the Dave Matthews Band and signed with the revived Capricorn Records.[8]
In 1997, Schneider co-founded The Scabs, a funk ensemble that regularly played in around Austin and described as " inspired by The Rugburns (right down to the suits and ties) [with] bawdy show tunes and puerile blues in the beginning, but eventually the powerhouse funk took over when the Grooveline Horns were added".Career In 1999, Schneider formed a solo act, initially under the name Lonelyland, which became the title of his record released through Universal Records. His style has been described as "acoustic based songs with electronic beats and noises in the background and other types of cross genre music.
His live shows are known for improvisation [and] audience involvement".[He went on to record the major-label solo albums Lonelyland (2001) and I'm Good Now (2004), which garnered him significantly more national attention and some critical acclaim. "Big Blue Sea" from the Lonelyland album received significant radio play, as did "Come With Me Tonight" from I'm Good Now. "Metal & Steel" from Lonelyland is, to date, Schneider's most played song.The contracts that he signed with Universal in 2001 and Vanguard in 2004 allowed him to release albums as "side projects" on his own Shockorama Records.
Among the albums that have been self-released are Galaxy Kings and I've Seen The End of the World and It Looks Like This. All of these side projects were re-released by Vanguard in conjunction with the release of his 2006 album The Californian. Previously, these albums had limited availability as approximately 10,000 copies were produced. After releasing The Californian, Schneider also put out Greatest Hits Live, recorded in Austin on July 17, 2006, on Shockorama Records. He has a long-standing Monday night residency at the Saxon Pub and regularly plays at Antone's, both venues in Austin. His live-band includes Harmoni Kelley (bass), Jeff Plankenhorn (guitars), Conrad Choucroun (drums), Danny Levin (cello) and Oliver Steck (accordion) In 2009, Schneider signed with Kirtland Records and released Lovely Creatures in September 2009. It featured the single "40 Dogs (Like Romeo and Juliet)", which peaked at #14 on the AAA Radio Chart. The album also featured Patty Griffin on the track "Changing Your Mind".
He released a second album on the label entitled "A Perfect Day" on April 19, 2011, featuring the single "Let The Light In." "Burden of Proof" was released on June 11, 2013.His next musical project, King Kong, was released in 2015 under the Shockorama label and was the result of a crowdsourcing campaign through PledgeMusic. King Kong saw its release over the course of 2015 in the form of three EPs (volumes collectively known as The King Kong Suite) as well as a full-length album made available to his online backers.
In 2017, Schneider began making his massive backlog of recorded demos available to his fans through Patreon. His next album Blood and Bones was released on June 8, 2018.On an episode of The Lone Star Plate podcast, Schneider said he turned down a part in the 2020 Netflix hit The Lost Husband because he didn't want to become an on-screen celebrity.

What if retirement can be the best part of your life… even if it’s unexpected?
The road to retirement is typically a long one, with plenty of time to prepare (although most people don’t). The Covid-19 pandemic changed everything, throwing many careers into chaos. Some of us had jobs one day, and then they were gone. For others, the freedom of working from home has opened their eyes to a new, more unshackled way of living.

Millions have done it, but the path is difficult without experience, expertise, and a trusty guide. Suddenly Retired: A Roadmap for What Comes Next is a goldmine of knowledge drawn from Don Hurzeler’s experience with retirement, the pitfalls he overcame, and the decisions he faced. Do I move near the kids, or do I take the leap to my dream locale? How do I communicate with my partner to make decisions that works for both of us? How much money is really enough to retire in comfort?
Suddenly Retired is packed with practical, fun, relatable stories and advice which could make the next years of your life, the best years of your life.
Is it possible to rethink how you live now and bring about a more satisfying and rewarding future for YOU? To find out, read Suddenly Retired and access the tools you need to assess your unique circumstances, develop a comprehensive plan for the present and the future, and build confidence that you can “suddenly retire.”

Success Made to Last features Chef Jen Peters, co-founder of The Good Flour Company. Born from visionary international chefs, Jen Peters and Hamid Salimian, our recipes were created with one goal in mind – Healthy, gluten-free baking that tastes just like the real thing. No more compromise on taste or texture. To us, food is life, and taste is everything.
It started with the devastating discovery that Jen was gluten intolerant. How could we possibly continue to make our beloved pasta, bread, and pastries without wheat? The most standard of kitchen staples.
So, we got to work. We began to research how to create a gluten-free, hassle-free all-purpose baking blend that would allow Jen to enjoy life without giving up her favourite foods or settling for low-quality alternatives. And after years of experimenting, we finally perfected our recipe in our 1:1 All-Purpose Flour.
Over the next 8 years we expanded on that breakthrough blend with a variety of dry and baked goods under Jen’s own NextJen brand. Pizza shells, fried chicken mix, pancakes, waffles and so much more.
It wasn’t long before chefs from commercial kitchens and restaurants throughout North America began clamouring to deliver our take on what gluten-free could be in their own dishes. We knew we were on to something big, something that needed to be shared with the world.
Enter Matthew Clayton, our visionary CEO. A disruptive entrepreneur and health food nut who was so blown away by our product he dropped everything and jumped on board – helping us raise the capital needed to forge ahead with our fresh, new The Good Flour Co. brand (and this snappy little website you’re currently on ;))
Now we bring our amazing creations to you, the everyday chefs, hero Mom’s, foodies, and well, just about anyone who wants to drop the wheat and live a healthier lifestyle. It’s time to feel good about gluten-free baking again. Try us out, you won’t regret it!

Authors John O'Neill and Sarah Wynne debut The Dancer and the Devil: Stalin, Pavlova, and the Road to the Great Pandemic. Communism must kill what it cannot control. So for a century, it has killed artists, writers, musicians, and even dancers. It kills them secretly, using bioweapons and poison to escape accountability. Among its victims was Anna Pavlova, history’s greatest dancer, who was said to have God-given wings and feet that never touched the ground. But she defied Stalin, and for that she had to die. Her sudden death in Paris in 1931 was a mystery until now.
The Dancer and the Devil traces Marxism’s century-long fascination with bioweapons, from the Soviets’ leak of pneumonic plague in 1939 that nearly killed Stalin to leaks of anthrax at Kiev in 1972 and Yekaterinburg in 1979; from the leak of a flu in northeast China in 1977 that killed millions to the catastrophic COVID-19 leak from biolabs in Wuhan, China. Marxism’s dark past must not be a parent to the world’s dark future.
COMMUNIST CHINA PLAYED WITH FIRE AND THE WORLD IS BURNING
Nearly ten million people have died so far from the mysterious Covid-19 virus. These dead follow a long line of thousands of other brave souls stretching back nearly a century who also suffered mysterious “natural” deaths, including dancers, writers, saints and heroes. These honored dead should not be forgotten by amnesiac government trying to avoid inconvenient truth. The dead and those who remember and loved them deserve answers to two great questions. How? Why?
The Dancer and the Devil answers these questions. It tracks a century of Soviet and then Chinese Communist poisons and bioweapons through their development and intentional use on talented artists and heroes like Anna Pavlova, Maxim Gorky, Raoul Wallenberg and Alexis Navalny. It then tracks leaks of bioweapons beginning in Saratov, Russia in 1939 and Soviet Yekaterinburg in 1979 through Chinese leaks concluding in the recent concealed leak of the manufactured bioweapon Covid-19 from the military lab in Wuhan, China. Stalin, Putin, and Xi, perpetrators of these vast crimes against humanity itself, should not be allowed to escape responsibility. This book assembles the facts on these cowardly murderers, calling them to account for their heartless crimes against man concluding in Covid-19.

Being Essential- "Being Essential presents the seven questions that will help any leader discover an authentic path to the true self and master a virtuous cycle of self-awareness that fosters purpose, value, and joy at work and in life.Leaders often know what they need to do, but don't have a clue who they need to be. Without a true essence of self, their leadership can feel void of purpose and confidence, affecting both teams and stakeholders. But when leaders discover their essential selves-who they are at their cores and why they show up-it enables them to reach a state of "radical self-awareness," a game-changing skill.

Professor Mahoney’s book is impressive, important, interesting, and short. It is a critique of the dominant “religion” of our time, the religion of humanity—also known as humanitarianism. Humanitarianism is antithetical to the Judeo Christian and Classical traditions; it devolves morality into relativism; it eschews objective Good and Evil; it waters down (I like to think of it as Rod McKeun-ing) rigorous moral and ethical issues to wooly-headed notions such as there is no justification for self-defense or just wars; and it increasingly embraces politically correct canards such as social justice or climate change alarm. Ultimately, in its most pernicious form, it intellectually underpinned the horrors of Communism and Nazi Socialism, among others, in the past century.
Lastly, and perhaps most alarmingly, it can be found prominently in the public utterances of the current Pope, a man raised in the Argentina of liberation theology.

Today’s guest grew up in a small village just outside of Cambridge, UK, called Hemingford Abbots. He went to Oxford University, where he read Modern History and Politics, and immigrated to the US in 2011. He is the Editor of NationalReview.com and a writer for NR as well as a regular columnist for First Freedom, the magazine of the NRA. Charles has become –in my view—a first rate constitutional scholar, especially as it relates to the 2nd Amendment, and writes about some other passions with regularity, such as American and British history and intellectual history, free speech, American exceptionalism, amusement parks, and the joys of living in the 2nd greatest state in the Union, after TX, of course—Florida. He and his friend, Kevin D. Williamson, have a fabulous podcast called Mad Dogs and Englishmen and Charles is also a regular on NR’s The Editors. I love to read Charles not only because he is a fine writer but because of the careful precision of his thinking, which you will hear on his podcasts and here today.
