Hi there, this is Jo Self, Daughter of David Self – a collector of hippos and a self-proclaimed benevolent dictator. I am super thrilled to be launching my new podcast, Conversations I Wish I could have with my Dad. You might be wondering what this is all about. Honestly, it’s possibly a bit self-indulgent, but I also hope it will be both entertaining and informative. The biggest reason I’ve decided to do this is because I really miss talking with my dad. We used to have the best conversations. They would be political, intellectual, inspirational, humorous – really, a bit of everything. There was nothing, and I mean nothing, I couldn’t talk about with him. And nowadays, even though we are all connected via the web or social media, I feel like there isn’t always a safe space to have provocative conversations. Ones where opinions are allowed to be shared without the intention of changing anyone’s mind, but to purely connect and show a different viewpoint. During this first season, I’m covering topics from as simple a giving a bit of backstory on my Dad, Dave, but I’m also exploring what community means, how we grieve, euthanasia, conscious capitalism and more. We’re running the gambit. With that said, I hope you’ll tune in and give us a chance.

Talking Conscious Capitalism with Thomas Eckschmidt
28 MAR 2020 · My last guest of this season is Thomas Eckschmidt - Gabriela's Father, married to Ana Maria and an enthusiast of conscious capitalism. He was the founder of CC Brazil and is the CEO and founder of Conscious Business Journey. For years I had always talked about how amazing it would be to have a "Compassionate Capitalism" and that capitalism in and of itself is not a bad thing, just not implemented with a higher good in mind at all times. And then I discovered Conscious Capitalism. Join the conversation as I walk through what it means to be conscious in the business world and as a leader with one of my favorite people.38m 42s -

Talking Parenting and Advice with Manny Wolfe
27 FEB 2020 · This week I'm chatting with best-selling author and speaker, Manny Wolfe, about parenting. We connected when he told me a story about how his estranged father still gave him some of the best advice, and it got me thinking... what advice did our parents give us that stuck? How are we affecting our own kids with our words or advice - even when we mean well? You just never know what will land and last. Parenting is truly the only test you’ll never pass with 100%. ***As a special bonus, Manny has generously offered you, my listeners, a free copy of his international best selling memoir, The Tao of the Unbreakable Man to get it, you can follow this bitly link, http://bit.ly/TAOFreeBook2020 Oh, and you may think he sounds a bit like Bob Odenkirk, at least my editor and I did.45m 13s -
Talking Serendipity with David Zuniga
20 FEB 2020 · While David and I are talking serendipity and coincidences, it should be noted that this episode itself is full of them (and not just that he shares my dad's first name). Our recording disappeared, then reappeared out of nowhere.... and then, today is 02-20-20-20, Seems like perfect synchronicity. My guest, David, believes that in the fourth industrial revolution, the only thing that can save us from being replaced by a robot is the unleashing of human skills. His purpose is to create disruptive experiences meant to inspire people to have a wider vision of themselves for self empowerment. The rest should follow. And if the Universe has anything to say about it... I'm sure what follows will be perfect in alignment.40m 21s -
Talking Afterlife and Mediums with Jorena and Elaine
14 FEB 2020 · I admit, I like to believe that there is something beyond. If nothing else, it comforts me to think that I have some guardian angels or at least have those who have passed are occasionally nearby. I’ve also had my own experiences that I couldn’t explain. Fortunately, I have amazing people in my circle of friends who have special gifts to tap into that. For Jorena, a medium, mom and a grandma finds all the joy her family, friends, music, art, photography, writing, spirituality, and all-natural living. Elaine is a mom of 4. Her day job has her working in food safety, but her passion is in tarot and intuition. She’s a mermaid at heart and will regularly find her by the seaside. When forced to be inside she loves the company of her candles, herbs, crystals, and cat Loki. As for me, I’ll keep saying hello to my dad when I see 10:13 on the clock.43m 1s -
Talking Following Your Passion with Marc Mawhinney
6 FEB 2020 · My father always said that if you did what you love the money would follow, but is that really true? I think it depends on how you go about it at the end of the day. Join me and my guest, Marc Mawhinney, Facebook group Guru of The Coaching Jungle, and a guy who says what's on his mind (which is one of the things I love most about him), as we explore the possibility of following your passion and making money while doing it. We've both managed to do so, so how did we do it? Enjoy the conversation.37m 3s -
