Five years ago, Greg Hasberry, an otherwise healthy and vibrant young man, was slowly reaching the end of his life.  His kidneys had failed, he had been on dialysis for some time, and his body was giving indications that it just wouldn't be able to keep functioning much longer.  He is a single parent, and the only thing that kept him going on the toughest days was his daughter and wantin...

For more than two months now our kids have been glued to our sides every minute of the day and frankly, they get sick of us from time to time and become hard to handle.  There are few places we can take them and few things they can do so our parenting skills have been tested to the limit.  And almost every parent on the planet is going through some version of this. For some this is not a...

We haven't posted a podcast for a couple of weeks, so there is some catching up to do.  We are starting a new business, restructuring the old one, and we finally made our family legal on May 12th when we adopted our girls.     Visit GoodladUnscripted.com Watch GoodladUnscripted on Youtube Follow on Instagram Follow on Twitter Join the discussion on our Facebook Group Subscribe...

The walls are closing in; money is tight, you can't get a second to yourself, jobs and businesses are unsure or already lost, the news is all doom and gloom, and the world is angry and fed up.  About then, your wife, or husband, or kids look at you the wrong way, and you feel like you are going to lose it.  Domestic violence is on the rise, and so are bankruptcies, and soon the divorce r...

Within a couple of hours of me posting our last podcast where I essentially said to Ana that I thought our family was complete and we were not going to have any more kids, we got a phone call about a little boy that needed a foster home.  After we heard his story and his circumstances, it was an immediate yes from both Ana and me.   We tell the story and talk about why we know this is th...

Time.  We have plenty of it right now, and many people are spending theirs feeling afraid, frustrated, angry, and worried.  Justifiably so, but it doesn't feel very good, and we do have the option to think about whatever we want.  Dreaming, for instance, or planning for what you would do if you could do anything in the world.  Daydreaming, in other words, and it's a very health...

I think it's a safe bet to say we have all, even us optimists and otherwise positive types, had enough of this whole quarantine business. Each day the carnage grows consisting of lost businesses, lost jobs, lost fortunes, lost marriages, and lost lives. We can only control what we can control, so Ana and I take a break from the misery to talk about the positives that have come from this mess. Visi...

Elaine Goodlad, now 55 years old,  joins Terry , now 60 years old, on this episode of the podcast to talk about the past, the things that shaped their lived and what they would do differently if they could do it all over again.    Visit GoodladUnscripted.com Watch GoodladUnscripted on Youtube Follow on Instagram Follow on Twitter Join the discussion on our Facebook Group Subscribe o...

This extended quarantine is really getting to some people, while others are doing better because of it.  I saw a post from someone basically chewing everyone out that was posting positive and helpful messages about how they are dealing with it.  It was an emotional response to the stress of quarantine and illogical, but is there a better way to deal with it?    Visit GoodladUns...

When Ana and I met I was a photographer and she was a professional athlete and model.  We travelled the country together and every chance we got she modeled for me.  We did what we wanted when we wanted and were glued at the hip and happy about it.  We started raising kids three and a half years ago and that was the end of our marriage being a priority.  Kids came first, then w...

We can't control the pandemic or how people respond to it but there is so much we can control and Ana and I are making the best possible use of this time to come out ahead once the dust settles.  We didn't plan this, but we talk about our top three things we love and don't love about this entire odyssey.

If you told me six months ago that I could have two months off to do whatever I wanted I wouldn't choose to sit in front of the TV watching the news, or watching the news any other way.  I'd aggressively invest that time in making my circumstances better.  So I made a decision to do a bunch of things for my family, and when this ordeal is over, I will be very thankful for the time I was blessed wi...

If you live on social media and the news it's either the end of this Corona Virus or the end of Mankind, depending on who you listen to.  In the end we can only speculate on both outcomes at this point and so it's a waste of good time and energy.  What we can do is use this unprecedented time to make our lives better, chase some dreams we put on the back burner, or learn something we always wanted...

Social distancing - not working, not going to the gym, not going shopping, not living a normal life, no income and no idea when it will all end or any control over your security a miserable set of circumstances to be in. We may not be able to get it all back but maybe we can re-claim some of it, maybe even the most important parts.  Ana and I talk about that decision to take back what we can and t...

We are deep into this social distancing thing and at times the walls feel like they are closing in.  Small problems become big and annoying problems so patience is low, stress is high, and there is no place to go to get away from the issues.  It can get ugly at home really fast and rest assured there will be countless tragedies before this mess is over.  Or we can use this opportunity with so much...

Every experience comes with a silver lining and well into week two of social distancing we have learned a lot about ourselves and our family and in a contained environment, the little things become really big things very quickly.  Ana and I talk about what we have learned and what we will continue to do when life gets back to normal.   Brought to you by Silver Bullet Anti-Aging This podcast is bro...

This whole social distancing thing was a lot of fun for the first couple of restful days but the novelty has worn off and everything, and everyone is getting irritated.  The reality is this thing is not going away anytime soon so the only thing we can control is how we work our way through it.  Ana and I discuss the things we have discovered work for us and our family.  We hope what we have learne...

We canvassed the members of the Unscripted Group on Facebook about what they would like us to do a podcast about.  The first comment was "Why religion/belief in God matters. Would be interested in your thoughts."  While neither Ana or I feel qualified to explain Why God Matters to the world in the larger sense, we certainly can discuss it on a personal level and so we did our best to squeeze all o...

It's inevitable.  We have all judged someone at some point in our lives and we have all been judged by someone.  It's never fair, or right, and most times if we knew more of the story we may not be so quick to judge.  Ana and I share our perspectives on judging other and being judged.

Elaine Goodlad joins me to talk about finding peace and happiness and how we, like so many others, spent years chasing things we thought would make us happy and later in life came to realize the real secret to happiness and finding peace.  Not surprisingly, it's also part of the secret to staying young.

Crystal Ellis is the biological mother of our foster son Jesse (Kwamane).  She was born into the gang life and actively lived it until a couple years ago when she made the decision to choose a different path for herself and her son.  She has since turned her life around, left the gang life and all the people that did not propel her forward.  She earned her GED, and last month she graduated with ho...
