Judy Henderson was sentenced to life in prison for a murder she did not commit in 1982 at the age of 32 years old. She was pardoned at the age of 68 in December of 2017 by the Governor of Missouri. Can you imagine?
From her website The Book — Judy Henderson
"Judy Henderson was a single mother with a successful small business of her own when she was arrested and convicted of a crime she did not commit. Sentenced to life in prison, Henderson faced the untenable: leaving her young children as she entered the brutal prison system.
Even as she faced violence, mistreatment, Henderson persevered with hope and determination. She never lost sight of her innocence—or her deeply held role as a mother. She also gained new purpose, fighting for her clemency and for the rights of incarcerated women, especially mothers. "

Rich Diviney is a bestselling author, leadership and human performance expert, and retired Navy SEAL commander. During his career in the US Military, spanning more than twenty years, Rich has completed more than thirteen deployments overseas.
As the officer tasked with training others for specialized command, Diviney was intimately involved in an extremely specialized SEAL selection process, paring down a group of exceptional candidates to a small cadre of the most elite optimal performers. He also spearheaded the creation of a directorate, employing a strong emphasis on physical, mental, and emotional discipline to optimize the team’s performance. Diviney led his small team to create the first-ever “Mind Gym” that helped special operators train their brains to perform faster, longer, and better in all environments—especially high-stress ones.
Since retiring from the Navy, Diviney has worked as a speaker, facilitator, and consultant at the Chapman & Co. Leadership Institute and Simon Sinek Inc. In 2020, Diviney founded The Attributes Inc., where he currently serves as the corporation’s CEO.
Currently, Rich speaks and consults on leadership strategies, assessment and selection processes, and optimal performance techniques. He has worked with thousands of businesses, athletic organizations, and military leaders. His past clients include American Airlines, Meijer Inc., the San Francisco 49ers, Pegasystems, Zoom, and Deloitte.

Masters of Uncertainty: The Navy SEAL Way to Turn Stress into Success for You and Your Team Hardcover – February 25, 2025 by Rich Diviney (Author)
“Easy to understand and simple to implement, Masters of Uncertainty is essential for any person or team that wants to operate even better than they do now.”—Simon Sinek, optimist and New York Times bestselling author of Start With Why and The Infinite Game
Retired Navy SEAL commander and performance expert Rich Diviney reveals a revolutionary method for training individuals and teams to perform at their best, no matter what.
For Navy SEALs, success isn’t only a result of relentless training in shooting, skydiving, or combat—though they are experts at those things. The real secret is that they use their innate human capabilities to turn the stress of uncertain and complex situations to their advantage.
In more than two decades of leading, training, and coaching top performers, Rich Diviney (founder of the SEALs’ “Mind Gym”) discovered that while most elite individuals and teams are masters of preparation, it’s how they react when things don’t go according to plan that separates the best from the rest. They are Masters of Uncertainty.
With Diviney’s science-backed Mastering Uncertainty Method, you and your team will learn how to:
- Turn any uncertain or chaotic moment into an opportunity
- Use your body’s natural performance engine to keep going when the going gets tough
- Stay cool and calm in the heat of any moment
- Become a person or team who gets better under pressure
- Gain new insight into your “raw self” (inherent identity and attributes) to figure out the best course of action in any scenario
- Avoid the traps that cause 95% of teams using traditional business and leadership models to consistently underperform
- Cultivate the four domains of trust that are common to all high-performing teams
Masters of Uncertainty is a battle-tested handbook for everyone

The Language of Evil: How Dictators Manipulate the Masses and Wield Power Through Words Hardcover – April 28, 2025 by Guy Doza (Author)
To kill democracy, control the masses and destroy entire nations, dictators have always used the same secret weapon: the unmatched power of the spoken word.
In this captivating history of language and power, speechwriter Guy Doza sets out the distinctive wordplay of 18 dictators who have seized and maintained control of states by deftly deploying words and phrases.
He shows how, despite their fearsome reputation, strongmen such as Julius Caesar, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini were surprisingly subtle and skillful in their public addresses. While less notorious tyrants (have you heard of Ranavalona I, the ‘Mad Queen of Madagascar’ who killed half of her subjects, or Jiang Qing, Chairman Mao’s murderous wife?) were equally manipulative.
He reveals the rhetorical techniques shared by these despots. How Attila the Hun and Napoleon Bonaparte showered flattery on their troops and deliberately aggrandised their enemies. And how two violent 20th Century leaders, Zaire’s President Mobuto and Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, both portrayed themself as the father of their respective nations to nurture their ethos.
For, irrespective of time, geography and language, dictators and their allies have consistently reused the same methods of persuasion. In a ‘post-truth’ age where simplified messages overpower sophisticated ones, The Language of Evil equips readers to spot the same tricks and techniques being deployed now by tomorrow's dictators.

ABOUT THE BOOK
What is the price on Black thriving? Dr. Rachel Laryea's speciality is race and capitalism - and the paradox of why some people participate in the economy differently than others. Her experience as the child of African immigrants, ascension to Wall Street and the Ivy League, and her entrepreneurial spirit led her to challenge the common belief that the only relationship Black people can have to capitalism is exploitative. Through a deeply personal excavation of her own life, Laryea uncovers the evolution of her financial literacy while wrestling with her relationship to race, money, and capitalism survivor guilt, along with her social network of young, Black Africans living in America. Laryea looks to the past and present in search of answers. Can capitalism ever be redeemed given its racist origins? And if so, how?
Teaching us about her original theory of Black Capitalism, while telling the stories of people she defines as Black Capitalists, Laryea proves how their race makes them outsiders, and yet their economic strategy, to secure the bag and the people, breaks norms and barriers. Making them a new kind of capitalist. Their bottom line is profit and social good. Their stories inspire new behaviours and ideas about what being a capitalist can mean and who can play the dirty game of capitalism - to both win and transform it.
And they reveal the tension race creates. There are costs to playing the game of capitalism as outsiders in the hopes of achieving collective financial freedom. One must be unusually brave, resourceful, and subversive to succeed in a system that produces inequality while not being consumed by it. All while being forced to remember that they were never meant to win.
Black Capitalists is a brilliant analysis of how race makes a difference in how we participate in capitalism, and how that difference teaches all of us something about how to create a more equitable version of it. Laryea weaves together hard truths from her economic experiences, prevalent theories of capitalism, and a decades' worth of her own anthropological research to tell an irrefutable story of how Black people still attempt to thrive in a political economy they were never allowed to benefit from.

Born into a family where sports have always been a big part of life. Mom was a good athlete already in elementary school in different sports and Dad played flying, nesting and pitching at the championship level. Dad happened to try tennis and then it was as if a moped got out of hand. He started coaching my brother and me. The topic of the dinner table was pretty much about tennis wins. The main question was whether did the palm pass and did the feed go? I knew when I was young that I would probably do something about tennis. When the guy then called and asked if you would come to America to study at university with a tennis scholarship then the choice was pretty easy. Brother (Kim), on the other hand, started playing professionally and toured around the world for more than 10 years and later coached many successful players and served as the captain of the Finnish Davis Cup for 10 years. https://www.jantiilikainentennis.fi/tietoa-meista/ “The more you put in, the more you get out.” If you are enjoying the podcast, please take less than 60 seconds to rate and review on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-wisdom-of-life/id1523330519 It makes a big difference!

This podcast will be a deep dive exploration to learn from people that are living a meaningful and remarkable life. I will have conversations with people who swim in the deep end. They have a rare blend of high performance with internal beauty. How can we learn and apply their life lessons to our own lives?
