Third Chances

Well, this was an interesting exchange! Dr. Gary White is not your typical, holistic approach healer, his Doctorate is in Public Policy and Administration. But his experience as a lifeguard, and paramedic and time spent at National Disaster Medical Assistance surely prepared him for what he decided to do with the next chapter of his life - he's someone who takes a pulse of the health of busin...

When I asked Jerry Yerke to be a guest on my podcast, I specifically asked if I could invite his wife Denise to join us as well. This power couple, as I call them, has worked closely together for over 15 years. Considering some couples have a hard time spending extended periods of time together, Denise and Jerry live and work within 6 feet apart most of their time (unless one of them travels). Whe...

Robin Thomas worked for quoter of the century in Medical Research at UNC. When you meet someone who speaks the same language and resonates with similar vibes, it feels so right. We had a great time talking about Robin's journey to found a Living Well Connections Community where she's able to connect and help others who want to improve their quality of life.    What decisions she had...

Kevin V. Wilson isn't the typical guy you meet every day. He's also not a typical guest for my podcast - but when I first met him and heard him speak (his first time from the stage), his story captivated most of us in the audience. He's natural. I know I needed to hear more of that story, and I know it will inspire many who listen. That's why today's guest is a former Army Ranger, now dedicated co...

It is not every day you have the opportunity to sit down with some of the most successful business leaders not just in the company you're part of, but also in the entire industry. I'm talking to the one and only, Alan Noble - a Man of Noble Purpose. Born in Ireland, he found his calling pretty early in his life, but his final destination only after experiencing the good, bad, and the ugly first. D...

Cindy Buck is a former ski instructor, turned corporate National Sales manager, now Tripple Diamond Executive, and a global leader, building organizations all around the globe.     Growing up in Aspen, Colorado she taught skiing. Commercial opportunities taught her for the first time about the power of residual income and put her through college!     When she entered the corpor...

This episode started completely spontaneously. Originally, we have gotten together with Jeanette Chambers to record her testimonial for wholly different purposes. But once we got into talking, Jeannette, who has an MBA in Healthcare and works for the University of Rochester Medical Center, Informatics team, offered such an electric and touching story, we decided on the spot to leave it whole and u...

In today's quite emotional episode, I had the pleasure of meeting Janet Butts - and we talked about overcoming trauma, redefining it for herself, and turning it into a new life purpose.  Janet is a founder of  J and E Enterprises of Charlotte and Comma period Publishing and produced her JanetB TV. After a life-altering moment in 2017, she instantly became an amputee in a devastating...

Welcome to the first episode of the year 2024  (although I said episode #2 on the recording). My apologies, technology gave me a hard time first weeks of the New Year. All is well now :) In this episode, I was excited to interview a first-time mom, a charming Casey Weiss, a certified holistic nutritionist and life coach. Casey founded her company YOUR CASE FOR WELLNESS to help women get out o...

Have you ever had a business that runs you instead of the other way around? The type of business where you’re always busy, stressing out, neglecting family and friends … but get hardly anything to show for? Do you blame yourself, judge, feel ashamed, and dread the question “So how is your little business going?” BTW, have you ever heard anybody asking a man about his “little business”? Those of us...

In this episode, I had the great pleasure of interviewing Karrie Mitten, a founder of Up Level Your Life Consulting, LLC. Karrie is an award-winning, certified, transformational life coach, speaker, and internationally best-selling author of two books, The Sacred Dance, and Short, Sweet, and Sacred Volume Two. She’s a Master Practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Mental and Emotional releas...

In this episode, we spoke with Thomas Mallory Hill, Ed. D., a former accountant and headhunter who learned the hard way what “draw” means ... and turned teacher and eventually became a principal. After decades of public education service and praying for an increase in earnings during the summer vacation season, Thomas started a whole new career, first as a part-time hustle, and recently as a full-...

Is there anything more taboo in today’s fast-paced world than a conversation about the end of life? Yet it's one of the random “certainties“ we all share. In today's episode, we talk with Jill McClennen, an End of Life Coach or Death Doula, and what it even means. If you never heard of such a thing, you're not alone! She founded her business called,  End of Life Clarity to provide valuable su...

In this episode, I had the fantastic opportunity to interview a one-of-a-kind Relationship coach, Geraldine Murphy. Geraldine lives with her husband and 2 boys in the U.K. As is typical for most Brits, (excuse me, Irish), there was lots of sarcasm, laughter, and fun during our conversation. Y ou can judge by the title (which is also the name of a free event at the end of November that Geraldine wo...

In this episode, we talked with Kathleen Davenport, a professional photographer, certified life coach, motivational speaker, personal development trainer, avid golfer, and retired Air Force officer. Kathy was also recognized as one of the 100 most influential Filipino women in the USA blending her unique skill set and her own transformations, to now help people over 50 look at life differently and...

Meet Donnellyn Dominguez ... who just earned the 2023 "Business Builder of the Year" award in her 70ties! Without being efficient with computers (she even ignores emails!) She finished her midwifery training in her fifties (!), was the only grandmother in her class,...

Did you ever feel that someone's resume is long enough for several lifetimes? I did when I first saw today's guest, Leland Duyck’s achievements – and in his 70s, he is nowhere near done yet! His secret to this successful approach to life: When we were kids, If we wanted something, we worked for it. So when I saw something, I wasn’t afraid to try. I never had that fear of failing. If he ever ran in...

Tonight's interview is with a special man, Dan Doyle, one of my biggest inspirations. I'm so grateful to have the privilege to finally meet him in person last week in Dallas - and now to interview him on my upcoming podcast episode of Third Chances. His stunning story is the main reason why I do what I do today. His determination, and open mind to try anything and not to give up, brought him liter...

What if we say things we casually say to ourselves to our best friends? How would our life shaped if we stayed in one place, surrounded by the limited experiences of our closest people of our youth? How opening your mind just a little bit affects absolutely everything you try to do. Why am I trying to unclog a toilet instead of recording a podcast? Have you ever asked yourself any of these questio...

Today I have a really inspiring and uplifting conversation with Chicago native Claudia Braun, who helps women (notorical people pleasers), to finally say Unapologetically YES to themselves. What a concept! Aren't we all?? Claudia uses yoga, tapping, and other powerful tools to coach and help women overcome what stays in their way, and finally make changes in their lives that lead to healthier, hap...

I planned a different show for today but then, I had a little exchange with someone on social media. Not really a troll (as we know them) but nevertheless he got me thinking.  What is driving people to express their enormous displeasure or disagreement with someone else, on their OWN FB platform?  Why do they have a need to challenge everything someone says as their own truth is dif...

This is a short promo announcing tomorrow's episode - release at 9:00 PM EST on Wednesday.

Tonight we're talking about life without limits. What does it mean to you, what do you feel you're limited with right now, and what can we do to change that? What's holding you back the most - the health, the finances, or the most valuable real estate between your ears? What's preventing you from living your best possible life? I'm talking about 7 human needs - we all have all those, but each of u...

From conquering challenges to facing the knockout punch of losing her husband, she's the master of bouncing back. Patricia shares her journey from rock bottom to triumphant recovery, all sprinkled with her unique humor and wisdom. So get re...

Tonight’s show is special in many ways. How often do you get to talk to a member of a multi-million dollar club, that is completely open, humble, and ready to extend a helping hand to anybody? Who lives his purpose, building the legacy and impact most of us would only dream of? Ed Wiens built a global business (likely a few times), lost it all, and built again.  I had the privilege to meet Ed...
