Live With Greg

Season 8 has a bonus episode — this one. I met Mirtha over a year ago. Online. Over our mutual endeavor of making movies. Mirtha's second film is based on documented facts; a fictional story based in Sweden about the government supported practice of eugenics. Eugenics literally means “well-born,” and it is the belief system that has fostered the nazi holocaust, and apparently is still in practice...

Season eight officially ends with the thoughtful, Jonah Dunkel Wilker. #D11 #livewithgreg  

Episode Seventy-One is with Chris Furbee. Chris has Huntington's Disease. I've always pictured it as a fuse that is lit in one's body and there is now way to put it out... and it keeps burning down to an explosion. Chris created a documentary about his Mom passing from the disease and him finding out he also had it. It is quite powerful to watch and is free for the public on YouTube.

September 2021, episode 70, is with a good friend; Brook. Though our paths don't often meet up, she is someone I've known for many years - and feel close to regardless of time between visits. I've always admired her strength, and this episode I got a little glimpse into the depth from which such strength is forged from... this one's an honor, people. #enjoy

August 2021, episode 69, is an encore visit with Molly de Vries. She has truly been a dear friend, someone I've grown close to. AND!... more importantly, she is a Zero Waste warrior! An Earth liaison for community - us lay people & governing bodies - and the entities dealing with waste management. Molly is spear-heading the work to remove single-serve cups from Mill Valley: "Help Mill Valley launc...

July's episode is with a very special guest; Ashlyn Thomas. Ashlyn was born with spina bifida "— a term that means “split spine” — is a condition that occurs when the brain, spinal cord, or the membranes that cover them (meninges) do not completely develop." However, what is most important about Ashlyn is her outlook on life and her gratitude for being alive. In her presence, I feel a joyful abund...

In his own words, my dear friend Peter Nevins is an "Artist | Printmaker | Troubadour". There are two people I am aware of, whom I consider friends, that are living a truly creative life. Peter is one of them. His work is amazing, in all it's forms. He is a creative being to hang with... You can see his work and learn more about him at: https://www.peternevins.com And I hope you enjoy this episode...

This episode was amazing. First off, Michelle is an amazing woman; and I am honored to be friends with her. The lady is fire!! AND, i am grateful for her giving her time for this episode... truth be told; it isn't her favorite - and she still greenlit it to go live. That's the kind of champion she is. So, I am going to follow-up with her link to her site: https://www.michellevenezianodo.net And he...

This episode is a wonderful follow-up to last month's episode. Below is from Deborah's bio... and her sharing her time for this episode is a great gift. I hope you accept this gift with the grace with which it was given.

It is good medicine; this season eight opener. Toast is one of my brothers; blood in - blood out. And I learned from this meeting with him... so I am grateful for this going live. Perhaps, you, too, will learn from our conversation... If nothing else, as Toast says in his out-going message: "...be good to yourself." What better wish is there for somebody?

I appreciate this episode very much - with a close friend and guide; Marc Wendt. I trust him absolutely with the potentially volatile topic we broached this episode - and I know he has a solid experience in dissecting and learning about his own place in a racist system. And he is devoted to being part of the healing and eradication of racism. So... we ventured forth. I hope you, also, appreciate t...

One of my favorite songs is by Joni Mitchell: Shadows and Light. I have the pleasure of presenting another great artist, Nora Bruhn. I came across her work via the Paint The Void Project in San Francisco. This great, big, gorgeous flower erupted on my screen - full bloom. I chatted with Nora and found her to be very open... and luckily, she's green lit this episode of LWG. She's a neighbor, an art...

Episode Sixty… is an episode that should have happened a long time ago. Christopher is a brother—heart to heart. Like a true brother, He's pissed at me sometimes. And he pisses me off sometimes. We went through a pretty heavy bout about a year ago... half a year ago... ?? I'm not sure. But we were talking with each other within a week's time; when he gave me a raving testimonial for my skills as a...

Episode 59 is with special guest; Mo Black! I met Mo many years ago, and was struck. She's a bright light. I came to meet her family a bit over the years - and they all shine brightly. One thing I have always counted on when hanging with Mo, we're going to be engaged in some real talk. This episode is rich in content and thought...

Episode 58 is with special guest; Jonah Dunkel Wilker! I want to thank my son for stepping in at the last second... And that's who Jonah is. Besides being a brilliant musician/producer, having a great sense of humor… he also is a deeply resonant thinker empathetic to people in his life. To me, he is "B". I think this episode sheds a little glimmer of light into who he is... a little...

Season 7 continues, still, in quarantine. 2020 is historically, on a global level, one of the strangest recorded times in human history. And Habibi remains, for me, on a global scale, one of the most beloved and amazing human beings I know. She's honored me with a third guest spot, for the third episode of Live With Greg.  

Season 7 continues in quarantine. It is the year of COVID-19 - and I am with Kayla Thomas; roommate and second guest of season seven.  

Season 7 starts off well, with special guest Dr. Leslie Purchase. I met Leslie when she reached out to her community, wanting to communicate with diverse perspectives from her own. As she put it, "Recently, I have been doing some reading that has challenged me to recognize the cognitive biases and faulty thinking that probably has led me to some incorrect conclusions in life." I met with her and a...

I am extremely grateful for this episode; it is a Divine Gift to finish strong. Season Six I don't think could finish any stronger. I have three living mothers in my life right now; my blood mom and two others who love me deeply and are Spiritual guides. This is one of them; Momz (Addie). I know Momz to be a deeply loving, strong human being… and have come to know her even more deeply in recent ye...

This month's podcast guest is a real treat. We rarely see each other; and Miriam is definitely a friend. She's also "a coach, mediator, lawyer, negotiator and linguist—a master communicator&hellp; Mom, wife, (mentioned) friend… And as her current career path is concentrating on communication, well, I am excited about this one. I know of no other healing balm more powerful then communication. To qu...

I met Travis Summer Deuel at the West Point Inn Father's Day Pancake Breakfast... and we started talking about comedy and stand-up. So - we met up and hung out to continue celebrating a mutual fascination... and we rambled quite a bit. Seemed like moments to me... except that I was going on about partnership. You can check out his photography here: https://travisdeuel.com Enjoy, Partner...  

I was going to use apocalypse in the name of this episode… it seems more fitting to use something upbeat; supportive. And I don't really think it's the new Mother Nature taking over — I think she's just speaking with more strength so we'll listen. This is a very exciting episode for me, with special guest, Mark Northcross. His experience and first-hand accounting of what is happening is, well, a s...

It is truly an honor to have as my guest for episode 50, historian and Odd Fellow, Peter Sellars. Peter and I were in the same class at Hayward High School. I knew he joined the Marines right out of high school - and we pretty much lost track of each other until a high school reunion a few years back. I recently heard him on a different podcast talk about the conspiracy against the leaders of the...

Part of why I continue to do my podcast is a practice in discipline. And adapting to get an episode out is part of the process… so this episode is live - audio only. And it's late. …and my special guest is Justin Nesbitt. I met Justin one the production of BAJA—he's one of the producers. He's also an actor, musician/rapper, stand-up comedy… is there anything this guy doesn't do? What I've observed...
