Welcome to another episode of My Remarkable Podcast. Today, we're thrilled to welcome back Bunny Terry , a truly inspiring figure whose journey through a harrowing cancer diagnosis and recovery led to a profound exploration of gratitude. Bunny initially struggled with the fear of sharing her intensely personal experiences but ultimately shaped these into a compelling narrative that not only charts...

I met Bunny Terry nearly a year ago. My oldest daughter, Kristina, introduced us when I was visiting Santa Fe, NM. A picture of health with a sunny disposition, I never would have guessed that Bunny had faced death with a diagnosis of such severity that her friend even remarked, “You know, this is the end.” But it wasn’t. Bunny not only survived this deadly diagnosis but she did so because of the...

Happy Monday! This is going to be a busy week! On Tuesday I interview Abe Gurko about his new book , Won’t Be Silent . Shortly after meeting Abe - here, on Substack - I grabbed a copy of his book and read it in two sittings. It is very well written with many powerful insights. I’m looking forward to our conversation tomorrow. On Friday, I’m having a conversation (I hate to call them interviews) wi...

Every story has an arc: a beginning, a middle, and an end. Christine’s story has begun but I don’t know if it has reached “the middle” or not. What I do know is that her discovery of her professional passion at the age of ten is remarkable. How many of us know what our professional passion is at that age? But like a snowball rolling downhill, as she grew older, she added to her passions: art, math...

I first met Synthia in 2006. At that time, she was the girlfriend of my second oldest son Justin, and she had just finished her work as a flight attendant. Synthia was returning to work as a dental assistant. When we first met I was struck at how intense Synthia was. She was a very focused young lady and was working very hard to move forward in her career. It was also clear that she was very much...

When I invited Christine to have a conversation about sustainability, I thought the issue turned on climate change. I was wrong. It is about so much more than that. Christine is a residential architect based in Shaker Heights, OH. Architecture has been her passion since she was 10 years old (no, that’s not a typo) and as she says in our discussion, "Architecture is my profession, it’s my passion,...

This is Synthia, a married mother of three, who works part-time and who decided in her late 30s to return to get her undergraduate degree and become a public school teacher. But who does that? The NY Times ran a piece that highlighted the crisis of teachers quitting their jobs because they were pushed to their limits by children’s pandemic-related behavioral and emotional setbacks and staffing sho...
