Since Charlie is in Africa this week working with Wells of Life Charity again, we thought we'd repeat one of our favorite recent episodes where Charley interviews his son, Austin Hedges, starting catcher for the San Diego Padres.  His insights on achieving your goals are great (while trying to stay grounded and who you are). And the interplay between proud father and loving son are priceless.

Show Notes  As you know, I have been highly impacted by a book from Richard Rohr titled Falling Upward. In this book Rohr emphasizes the distinctive transition from 1st to 2nd Half of Life. In short, the first half is generally triggered primarily by an ego-driven focus of building up your needs for self-esteem and self-importance, which are often referred to ego-driven needs. Rohr points out that...

Show Notes  Boy do we have a special show today. Our guest is one of my very favorite people on the planet. It’s my son, Austin Hedges. Austin is an expert on our subject today, which will be all about the tension between finding personal contentment with your life and the other side of a never-ending desire for self-improvement. Are the two compatible? That’s what we’ll talk about. You know, I ha...

We have with us relationship expert and author, Elliott Katz and today Elliott and I will have a discussion about his book, Being the Strong Man a Woman Wants. I have so many questions for Elliott like (a) are women really frustrated about a plethora of weak men ru...

SHOW NOTES Let me state up front. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE EPISODES. Today marks the first time in two years of podcasting that we will do a show on planning for the New Year of 2019. And now it is two consecutive weeks. That’s kind of surprising since much of my past has been about Life Planning yet we have not produced a single show on that topic. And today our approach to life planning may be...

Show Notes  You know, at this time of year most everyone will be blogging and podcasting in some form on New Year’s Resolutions or Goals. As much distaste as I have for the idea of New Year’s Resolutions, mostly because they rarely make any difference in your life, I think The Next Chapter would be remiss if we failed to address the subject. I find the bulk of my reluctance to embrace the notion N...

He is the Country Operations Manager for the NGO Wells of Life and has committed his life to public service of humanity.

Show Notes  Today I plan on doing another solosode with Producer Paul on a subject I wrote on a blog a few months ago, which was titled “The Thrill of Not Knowing.” The ever increasing popular speaker and writer Jordan Petersen once asked the question “What is your friend: the things you know, or the things you don't know?”  I really like that question because I so strongly believe that it is “wha...

Show Notes  Today Producer Paul and I are going to discuss the value and frustrations with deep friendships. I am finding in our new world of busyness and “friendship technology” like Facebook, etc. that many of us are finding ourselves without that old fashioned idea of deep and supportive relationships. Oh, many of us have plenty of colleagues and acquaintances, but the resolve to have deep and...

Show Notes  My guest today is our regular friend, Terry Hershey. Today Terry and I plan to chat about what Carl Yung calls the Shadow Side of our personalities, often referred to as the Dark Side. Given my personality I happen to have a mild love affair with my Dark Side, which is often not so acceptable by the norm. So let get on with our conversation on a subject very dear to me. You can reach T...

Show Notes  Zig Ziglar once said, “There is a certain amount of dissatisfaction that goes with knowing your time, talent and abilities are not being properly used.” You know I think I am a perpetually dissatisfied person. Partially that is because I am a dreamer and I regularly have ideas of new things to try. That has been my MO for most of my life. I like that. It leads to new activities and new...

Show Notes  My special guest today is becoming a regular on the show, perhaps because he is my personal life coach. I have to admit that I have learned as much from Dena as I have from any friend, coach or therapist. She truly is full of genius. As you may or may not know I recently returned from one-month Uganda meeting with government officials and creating a Sanitation and Hygiene program for p...
