Jennifer opens up about the night that shattered her world on January 1, 2020, and the extraordinary choice she and her children made in the aftermath: to become survivors instead of victims. She shares how generational trauma, unimaginable loss, and public persona collided with private pain — and how she turned that pain into purpose through advocacy, healing, and helping others at one of the country’s premier trauma and addiction treatment centers.

With over 20 years in psychiatric nursing and addiction treatment, Jennifer brings both clinical wisdom and lived experience to the conversation. She reveals the message her mother delivered from beyond that became the title of her book, and why she now lives (and teaches) with this truth: tomorrow is not promised.

In this episode you’ll discover:

Thank you for your time. ]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/72623466Sun, 21 Jun 2026 22:36:16 +0000I Am Refocused RadioIn this raw and powerful episode of I Am Refocused Radio, Shemaiah A. Reed sits down with Jennifer Gaydos Hartman — mental health & trauma advocate, Director of National Business Development at J. Flowers Health Institute, former star of Bravo’s...
Jennifer opens up about the night that shattered her world on January 1, 2020, and the extraordinary choice she and her children made in the aftermath: to become survivors instead of victims. She shares how generational trauma, unimaginable loss, and public persona collided with private pain — and how she turned that pain into purpose through advocacy, healing, and helping others at one of the country’s premier trauma and addiction treatment centers.

With over 20 years in psychiatric nursing and addiction treatment, Jennifer brings both clinical wisdom and lived experience to the conversation. She reveals the message her mother delivered from beyond that became the title of her book, and why she now lives (and teaches) with this truth: tomorrow is not promised.

In this episode you’ll discover:
• How to choose survival and break generational cycles of trauma
• Why it’s okay not to be okay — but not okay to stay there
• The power of living fully and intentionally every single day
• Practical steps for healing, getting help, and building a legacy of impact

If you’ve ever carried hidden wounds, faced sudden loss, or felt called to turn your pain into something greater, this conversation will refocus your heart and give you courage for the road ahead.

ABOUT BORN LUCKY In a world of labels being placed on people, one father and one son were determined to break that tag, even if it was one of autism. This is their story. In a world quick to label, judge, and box in people, one father and son stood firm and refused to be defined by an autism diagnosis. If you're channel surfing and happen upon Leland Vittert during his nightly national cable show on NewsNation, he comes off as a poised journalist prying nuggets from guests. If you watched him for years as an anchor at Fox News Channel, you saw him on the battlefields of the Middle East, the anchor desk, and the White House North Lawn. No one, including friends and co-workers, has ever known his full life story and how miraculous it was to get to that point.
Leland was a socially awkward boy who didn't speak for years, and when he finally did, teachers and leaders declared him "weird." His unique behavior and inability to connect with his peers made him a frequent target for bullying and exclusion. In one particularly harsh moment, a school principal bluntly told his parents, "The people here think Leland is pretty weird. I guess I do, too." Those words felt like being shot with an arrow, as his parents sat in stunned silence, grappling with their own fears and uncertainties for their son's future. From a young age, Leland showed signs of being Autistic, a term rarely used at the time, struggling with social cues, communication, and behavioral norms that came naturally to other kids. The diagnosis didn't deter his father, Mark. He knew the world wouldn't change for Leland, so he quit his job and began changing Leland for the world. He became a full-time parent-coach, training Leland and teaching him the skills he needed to navigate in society. Simple concepts like eye contact, understanding humor, and instilling motivations had to be taught painstakingly. From hundreds of pushups at age 7 to toughen him against bullies, to coaching him through complex social interactions, Mark's relentless dedication changed the trajectory of Leland's life. Born Lucky offers an intimate look into their inspiring journey. Leland lays bare his experiences of the crushing bullying during middle and high school, the sting of rejection continuing into college, and his ultimate transformation into an esteemed journalist. But above all, this book is a love letter from a grateful son, who despite his diagnosis, trusted his father and defied all odds. It offers hope to every parent and every child who is grappling with their own unique challenges, to be inspired to break labels, tear down the walls that society builds, and create a better future.

ABOUT LELAND VITTERT Leland Vittert is the host of On Balance with Leland Vittert and serves as NewsNation's chief Washington anchor. A veteran journalist, Vittert joined NewsNation in May 2021, where he has been pivotal in covering national affairs and delivering special reports across the network's primetime weeknight newscasts. Before joining NewsNation, Vittert worked for Fox News from 2010 to 2021, starting as a foreign correspondent based in Jerusalem and later serving as anchor and correspondent in Washington.

Nelson opens up about why most popular water filters fall short, how he’s helped families in water-crisis communities like East Palestine, Ohio, and why he believes clean water is one of the most powerful (and overlooked) steps you can take for your family’s long-term health. Whether you’re concerned about what’s coming out of your faucet or you want to learn how to protect your home without spending thousands on underperforming systems, this episode delivers practical, no-fluff advice from a true water expert. Tune in to discover why Nelson’s mission is so much bigger than just selling filters — it’s about giving people their health back, one glass of water at a time. 👉 Learn more about Sentry H2O at https://sentryh2o.com

Garrett breaks down the root causes of these struggles, how they feed into one another, and why his generation is experiencing a fresh hunger for what’s real: authentic faith in Jesus Christ.
Backed by Barna research, Garrett shares encouraging signs of growing spiritual openness among Gen Z and explains why prayer is at the center of the solution. He also unveils Prayer At The Heart’s bold “Project 2026” initiative: calling one million Christians to pray for the salvation of one friend or family member during the spiritually significant 50-day window from Passover (April 1) through Pentecost Sunday (May 24).
Whether you’re a parent, pastor, or concerned believer, this conversation will encourage you and equip you to pray with purpose for the next generation.

After nearly thirty years in the insurance industry, John started asking deeper questions about purpose, responsibility, and what it really means to build a life that fits. What he discovered changed everything: most people aren’t stuck because they lack ability—they’re simply carrying too much in their own heads.

Today John helps individuals and leaders who are facing important decisions they don’t want to get wrong. He guides them to slow things down, cut through the mental noise, and move forward with clarity and confidence. Through a few honest questions, he shows how to turn confusion and overwhelm into a clear, grounded next step.

If you’ve ever felt lost in the middle of a busy life or sensed you’re leaving your best potential on the table, this conversation will help you refocus, regain clarity, and start living intentionally.

Drawing from historical evidence and timeless wisdom, authors Peter H. Calfee and J. Kevin Dolan argue that the survival of the American republic depends on our collective ability to return to foundational values— Critical Thinking, Education, Religion/Faith/Values, History, Politics, and Economics.
From the very first chapter, Hijacked drives home the premise that the American experiment is not immune to failure — unless its people actively think, question, and speak with clarity and conviction.
In one of the book’s foundational sections, Calfee and Dolan explore the erosion of public discourse and the consequences of abandoning Critical Thinking. They recount how great civilizations—from Ancient Rome to modern states—fell not due to external enemies but internal decay. Indoctrination, moral relativism, and the suppression of inquiry replaced reasoned dialogue and moral clarity.

About the Authors

J. Kevin Dolan is a former airline pilot and Wharton MBA who co-founded a successful Registered Investment Advisory firm and played a key role in launching the Allied Pilots Federal Credit Union.

The true story of the corrupt and violent town of Borger, Texas in 1927―and the legendary Texas Ranger tasked with taming it. Just a year after the town of Borger, Texas was founded, the press called it "the wickedest in the state" for good reason. The town, sprung into existence overnight to support the oilfields, was a second chance for many residents but had also become a lawless haven for bootleggers, pimps and gamblers, run by a crooked city hall. That environment attracts some of the most unsavory characters in prohibition America, including a gang of murderous bank robbers who head into Borger to spend their money on booze, gambling and prostitutes. In the span of weeks, the gang kills three law enforcement officers, bringing the worst heat imaginable: legendary Texas Ranger Captain Frank Hamer, years before he will lead the 1934 posse that tracked down and killed criminals Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. His arrival threatens to break even this hardest boomtown in America―if it doesn't kill him first. What follows is one of the most thrilling and violent untold stories from the era of gangsters, lawmen and vice. Author Joe Pappalardo brings to life a town previously lost in the haze of history.

With degrees from Harvard, Cambridge, Columbia Business School, and London Business School, and 25+ years advising Fortune 500 executives at Google, Bank of America, American Express, Coca-Cola, and more, Nell has helped high-achieving, impact-driven leaders across the globe break through invisible success ceilings.

After her own near-fatal wake-up call from chronic overdoing, she created the Systematic Subtraction™ and Lead in 3D™ frameworks (ME / WE / WORLD) that teach ambitious women how to stop adding more effort and start subtracting what no longer serves them — creating structural change, conserving energy, and generating compounding results in life, teams, and organizations.

In this episode, Nell shares why “doing more” stops working for high performers, how to identify and release the hidden drains on your time and energy, and practical ways to align your purpose so success finally feels as good as it looks. Whether you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or mission-driven professional feeling stretched thin, this conversation will give you the permission and tools to do less while mattering more.

In her powerful new memoir, The Rough Side of the Mountain, Keisha takes us on a deeply personal journey of excavation. After years of sanding down her story for political success—hiding her father’s drug abuse and prison time, her own experiences with sexual abuse and an eating disorder, and the beautifully unpolished truth of her family—she realized something was missing. In her early fifties, she stepped back from the grind and chose to reclaim every part of herself she once thought she had to leave behind.

This is a heartfelt celebration of unmasking, authenticity, and the joy of showing up fully. Through raw stories and hard-won lessons from her kinfolk, Keisha shows how the roughest chapters become the strongest foundation for leadership, purpose, and real resilience. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about embracing your full story and spreading the powerful message that you don’t have to hide who you are to rise.

The very first The Voice: Battle of Champions winner has been crowned with Coach Adam Levine and his Artist Alexia Jayy wowing the audience of The Voice. 

A standout going back to the Blind Auditions when she earned the first Triple Chair Turn of the season and brought her son Matthew on stage to celebrate, Jayy proceeded to just get more and more confident each week until she landed her critical trio of Finale song performances.

On the red carpet at the Blue Note Jazz Club in Hollywood on April 14, Jayy and Levine reunited to celebrate their win publicly for the first time. She shared with NBC Insider that while the Finale was pre-recorded, she kept her victory a secret, even from her son!

"You know what? He was actually watching tonight, so he just found out," Jayy shared, laughing. "I go home for the weekend and we're going to throw a big party."

With this win, Levine is now tied with fellow Battle of Champions Coach Kelly Clarkson. "It's fun to win," Levine told NBC Insider with a smile. "I think that I needed to take the break I took and when I came back it was really fun and easy. It's been fun. I don't know whatever it is but I hope it keeps on working for me."

While Levine was able to keep Jayy on his team all season long, the Maroon 5 frontman admitted to NBC Insider aside from that, he can't take much credit for her win.

"I don't say that just to be humble," Levine said. "She was so calm. I didn't need to tell her much. I mean, there were little moments where she would be nervous and she's like, 'How do I get out of my head?' And I'm like, 'Just keep doing what you're doing. Don't worry about winning because that's not something you should concern yourself with. You should just do your best and see where it takes you.' But most of the time, she was always game-ready and so I was really just her biggest cheerleader."

And Jayy said Levine's words were exactly what she needed to hear all season long.

"I like things to be perfect so I was in my head," she said of her nerves. "And so for him to tell me, 'Hey, we all are all in our heads, but you're going to go out there and you're going to kill it. Tell yourself that and you'll be fine.' He was in my head like, just get out there and love singing."

There was no shortage of incredible Alexia Jayy performances all season long, but when asked what song made her feel like she accomplished everything she intended, she said it was her interpretation of Adele's "One and Only" in the Finale. That was also the song that brought all three Coaches to tears."

To be able to touch three people who have touched the world tremendously is amazing," she said of their reaction. "I'm blessed."

As for what made that song came out so right, Jayy said: "Before I got on stage to sing 'One and Only,' I prayed a prayer and I asked God, 'I really want to be present. [Usually], I'm never really present because I'm always trying to make sure everything is perfect. So I asked God to let me be present in this moment and he allowed me to be present and that's why those tears came down because I was just so proud of myself. I've been singing since I was 2 years old and I finally got on this big stage and I'm just singing my heart out."

Looking into the future for Jayy, Levine said she has a great career ahead of her. "I think she can do whatever she wants," he said with admiration. "She's a soul singer in her DNA. When you think of Alexia you think of the Arethas of the world, the Lauren Hills of the world. She's got a big voice so the potential is kind of limitless for her."

"I'm excited to see how it unfolds for her," Levine added. "But man, I'm a huge fan of hers."

Right now, Jayy revealed that she's already released a new original single "Rent Free," available wherever you listen to music.

And as for the broader future, she said, "I'm just going to keep putting out more music. I am going to get on those big stages, as many as I possibly can, because I love what I do. So, I'm going to just keep doing what I've been doing."

The very first The Voice: Battle of Champions winner has been crowned with Coach Adam Levine and his Artist Alexia Jayy wowing the audience of The Voice. 

A standout going back to the Blind Auditions when she earned the first Triple Chair Turn of the season and brought her son Matthew on stage to celebrate, Jayy proceeded to just get more and more confident each week until she landed her critical trio of Finale song performances.

On the red carpet at the Blue Note Jazz Club in Hollywood on April 14, Jayy and Levine reunited to celebrate their win publicly for the first time. She shared with NBC Insider that while the Finale was pre-recorded, she kept her victory a secret, even from her son!

"You know what? He was actually watching tonight, so he just found out," Jayy shared, laughing. "I go home for the weekend and we're going to throw a big party."

With this win, Levine is now tied with fellow Battle of Champions Coach Kelly Clarkson. "It's fun to win," Levine told NBC Insider with a smile. "I think that I needed to take the break I took and when I came back it was really fun and easy. It's been fun. I don't know whatever it is but I hope it keeps on working for me."

While Levine was able to keep Jayy on his team all season long, the Maroon 5 frontman admitted to NBC Insider aside from that, he can't take much credit for her win.

"I don't say that just to be humble," Levine said. "She was so calm. I didn't need to tell her much. I mean, there were little moments where she would be nervous and she's like, 'How do I get out of my head?' And I'm like, 'Just keep doing what you're doing. Don't worry about winning because that's not something you should concern yourself with. You should just do your best and see where it takes you.' But most of the time, she was always game-ready and so I was really just her biggest cheerleader."

And Jayy said Levine's words were exactly what she needed to hear all season long.

"I like things to be perfect so I was in my head," she said of her nerves. "And so for him to tell me, 'Hey, we all are all in our heads, but you're going to go out there and you're going to kill it.

Prayer at the Heart is a national prayer movement dedicated to igniting spiritual awakening in America through unified, humble, and biblically grounded prayer. Their bold mission is simple yet powerful: “One Million Praying. One Million Saved. 50 Days. One God.” The organization is mobilizing 1 million Christians to pray specifically for 1 million Americans to come to faith in Jesus Christ. This 50-day focused prayer campaign runs from Passover to Pentecost (April 5 – May 24, 2026) and builds toward the America 250 National Prayer Initiative — coordinated public prayer gatherings in all 50 states on July 4, 2026, as the nation celebrates its 250th birthday. At its core, Prayer at the Heart calls the Church back to the heart of God through repentance, renewed passion for prayer, and bold witness. Rooted in 2 Chronicles 7:14, the movement emphasizes that real cultural and spiritual change begins when God’s people humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways. Rather than top-down programs, PATH focuses on grassroots activation — everyday believers praying for friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers, while churches open their doors and leaders unite across denominational lines for city-wide and nationwide prayer. The initiative was piloted in Northeast Ohio and is now scaling nationally. It equips participants with free prayer guides, trains state and county representatives, and encourages visible prayer in public spaces such as campuses, workplaces, neighborhoods, and city halls. Leadership includes:

• Dr. P. Douglas Small – President & Executive Director (vision carrier for over 30 years)
• Garry Bryant – Vice President & Chairman of the Board
• John Whaley – Chief of Staff (featured guest)
• Additional board members and advisors with deep experience in evangelism, revival, and church leadership.

The movement is proudly endorsed by Dr. Franklin Graham and Dr. Ronnie Floyd. Individuals and churches can get involved by:

• Committing to pray for one specific person and receiving the free 50-day Prayer Guide
• Becoming a state or county representative
• Hosting or joining local prayer gatherings
• Supporting the work through prayer and giving (current matching-gift opportunity)

In short, Prayer at the Heart believes that if America returns to prayer, God will return in power — and they are calling believers to be part of that historic move right now.

What started as one year quickly turned into three extraordinary years of adventure and self-discovery. He rebuilt his athletic strength, competed in demanding cross-country ski marathons, and completed two epic expeditions to Mount Everest — one dramatically interrupted by a cyclone and a harrowing blizzard descent down the Lhotse Face, and another where he became the first climber ever to approach the mountain through the remote Makalu Barun region, summiting on a moonlit night.

In his inspiring new book, The Gap Years: Climbing, Skiing, and the Journey Back, Tom shares a powerful story about the joy found in wild places, the power of endurance, and the profound renewal that comes from reconnecting with what truly lights you up — proving it’s never too late to step away from burnout and expectations to create a bold, purpose-filled next chapter.

What started as one year quickly turned into three extraordinary years of adventure and self-discovery. He rebuilt his athletic strength, competed in demanding cross-country ski marathons, and completed two epic expeditions to Mount Everest — one dramatically interrupted by a cyclone and a harrowing blizzard descent down the Lhotse Face, and another where he became the first climber ever to approach the mountain through the remote Makalu Barun region, summiting on a moonlit night.

In his inspiring new book, The Gap Years: Climbing, Skiing, and the Journey Back, Tom shares a powerful story about the joy found in wild places, the power of endurance, and the profound renewal that comes from reconnecting with what truly lights you up — proving it’s never too late to step away from burnout and expectations to create a bold, purpose-filled next chapter.

About Syd Millevoi

Raised in a lively Italian household with her mom, uncle, grandparents and brothers, Syd Millevoi never had a quiet moment. Her mother, a former opera singer, became her first vocal coach, helping Syd channel that chaos into art. By 11, she was writing songs, and by her teens was performing anywhere that had a mic. After studying music business and releasing her debut EP, "Everything I Couldn't Say," Syd found her voice as both a singer and songwriter. When she's not teaching or working toward her master's degree in vocal performance, she's fronting a wedding band that performs across the East Coast and New York. Inspired by her mother's legacy and her own determination, she hopes "The Voice" will be the stage that turns years of hard work into a Jbreakthrough moment.

In this powerful conversation, Shemaiah sits down with Ray Moore, founder of The Exodus Mandate Project, to break down the growing push for tighter homeschool regulations in multiple states. From Connecticut to Hawaii, families are pushing back—and the stakes are higher than ever.

Ray shares what these proposed bills really mean, why they’re gaining traction now, and how homeschool communities are responding. The conversation also dives into the deeper roots of public education, the role of faith in learning, and the ongoing debate around who should ultimately shape a child’s education.

This is about freedom, responsibility, and the future of the next generation.

If you care about education, parental rights, or the direction of culture, this is one conversation you don’t want to miss.

A month later, she finds herself in the crosshairs of a Taliban sniper along Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan, a stark reminder of the sacrifices she made to succeed in a white-centric, male-dominated journalism career. For Lin, breaking news and the defining split second when lives change is a drug—and a love that her traditional Chinese mother warned would never love her back. But when devastating news breaks apart her own life, Lin is forced to question a career that demands everything, a marriage marked by infidelity and cancer, and the sacrifices required to become the mother her daughter needs her to be.

Told with fierce wit and candor, When News Breaks is the story of a woman who has been places and seen things but still has to discover who she really is behind the headlines.

Carol Lin is best known for being the first national anchor to report the first 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. Carol was a long-time anchor and correspondent for CNN and ABC News. During her career, she covered the war in the Middle East, the aftermath of the Kosovo War, the 2002 Winter Olympics, and every imaginable natural disaster from hurricanes, tornadoes, historic wildfires, and floods. Carol Lin received an Emmy, a Peabody, the Alfred I. Dupont Award, and Greater Los Angeles Press Club Awards for Excellence in both Investigative Reporting and her coverage of the Los Angeles Riots.

This conversation goes beyond corporate buzzwords and into the raw reality of leading in high-stakes environments. From building trust under pressure to understanding why presence beats micromanagement, Mark reveals how real leadership is forged in moments most people never see.

When the alarm sounds and lives hang in the balance, there's no time for micromanagement, ego, or empty commands. In the firehouse, leadership isn't a theory-it's survival. Fire Captain Mark Andrew has spent his career learning what separates good leaders from poor ones, often through hard-earned lessons while fighting fires.

In LEADING THROUGH THE HEAT, he distills decades of experience into a practical guide that proves the principles forged in emergency response apply to any workplace:

• Why presence matters more than micromanaging
• How to build trust when stakes are high 
• The difference between commanding and inspiring 
• What it means to truly care about your team 
• How to transform from worker to leader This isn't another corporate playbook filled with buzzwords and case studies. 

It's an honest, sometimes raw account of leadership failures and successes witnessed in one of the most demanding professions on earth. Captain Andrew doesn't just tell you what good leadership looks like. He shows you through real stories of officers who earned loyalty in the fire service's crucible and those who lost it.

SPACEWOMAN, a doc about Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot and command a spacecraft, and directed by Hannah Berryman lands in theaters beginning March 20th and will be in select theaters nationwide.

Eileen's journey, from her working-class beginnings in Elmira, NY, to breaking glass ceilings at NASA, commanding four space shuttle missions, and navigating the pressures on her family is awe inspiring. The doc includes archival materials and interviews that highlight both the monumental dangers of spaceflight and the incredible achievements of the shuttle program, including her leadership on STS-114, the first mission after the Columbia tragedy.

Based on Eileen's book Through the Glass Ceiling to the Stars, the film premiered at DOC NYC and is directed by Hannah Berryman and produced by award-winning teams Keith Haviland (Haviland Digital) and Natasha Dack Ojumu (Tigerlily Productions).

It is an intimate and authentic account of an astronaut's life and Hannah Berryman's offers a nail-biting film showcasing the emotional drama Eileen's family experienced, and a philosophical question about what level of risk is acceptable in human endeavor.

Here's the trailer:

ABOUT EILEEN COLLINS

Eileen M. Collins is a former astronaut and a retired U.S. Air Force colonel. She retired from the Air Force in Jan 2005 and from NASA in May 2006 after a 28-year distinguished career. A former military instructor and test pilot, Collins was the first female pilot and first female commander of a space shuttle. 

Collins graduated from the Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base, California, in 1990. She was selected by NASA and became an astronaut in July 1991. After tours at Kennedy Space Center (shuttle launch and landing) and Johnson Space Center (shuttle engineer and capsule communicator), she flew the space shuttle as pilot in 1995 aboard Discovery. She was also the pilot for Atlantis in 1997, where her crew docked with the Russian Space Station MIR. Collins became the first woman commander of a U.S. spacecraft with shuttle mission Columbia in 1999, the deployment of the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. Her final space flight was as commander of Discovery in 2005, the "Return to Flight Mission" after the tragic loss of Columbia. She has logged more than 6,751 hours in 30 different types of aircraft and more than 872 hours in space as a veteran of four space flights.
Collins currently serves on several boards and advisory panels, is a professional speaker and an aerospace consultant. She is married with two children.

Collins is also a member of the Air Force Association, Order of Daedalians, Women Military Aviators, Women in Aviation International, U.S. Space Foundation, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and the Ninety-Nines.

Eileen's journey, from her working-class beginnings in Elmira, NY, to breaking glass ceilings at NASA, commanding four space shuttle missions, and navigating the pressures on her family is awe inspiring. The doc includes archival materials and interviews that highlight both the monumental dangers of spaceflight and the incredible achievements of the shuttle program, including her leadership on STS-114, the first mission after the Columbia tragedy.

Based on Eileen's book Through the Glass Ceiling to the Stars, the film premiered at DOC NYC and is directed by Hannah Berryman and produced by award-winning teams Keith Haviland (Haviland Digital) and Natasha Dack Ojumu (Tigerlily Productions).

It is an intimate and authentic account of an astronaut's life and Hannah Berryman's offers a nail-biting film showcasing the emotional drama Eileen's family experienced, and a philosophical question about what level of risk is acceptable in human endeavor.

Here's the trailer:

ABOUT EILEEN COLLINS

Eileen M. Collins is a former astronaut and a retired U.S. Air Force colonel. She retired from the Air Force in Jan 2005 and from NASA in May 2006 after a 28-year distinguished career. A former military instructor and test pilot, Collins was the first female pilot and first female commander of a space shuttle. 

Collins graduated from the Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base, California, in 1990. She was selected by NASA and became an astronaut in July 1991. After tours at Kennedy Space Center (shuttle launch and landing) and Johnson Space Center (shuttle engineer and capsule communicator), she flew the space shuttle as pilot in 1995 aboard Discovery. She was also the pilot for Atlantis in 1997, where her crew docked with the Russian Space Station MIR. Collins became the first woman commander of a U.S. spacecraft with shuttle mission Columbia in 1999, the deployment of the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. Her final space flight was as commander of Discovery in 2005, the "Return to Flight Mission" after the tragic loss of Columbia. She has logged more than 6,751 hours in 30 different types of aircraft and more than 872 hours in space as a veteran of four space flights.
Collins currently serves on several boards and advisory panels, is a professional speaker and an aerospace consultant. She is married with two children.

Collins is also a member of the Air Force Association, Order of Daedalians, Women Military Aviators, Women in Aviation International, U.S. Space Foundation, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and the Ninety-Nines.

In this timely conversation, we explore what this moment means for Iran and for the world. Our guest helps unpack the deeper realities often overlooked in global discussions about Iran, including the growing call for a secular, democratic republic and the critical role ordinary citizens are playing in shaping the country’s future.

We also examine the powerful leadership of women at the forefront of protests and resistance movements, the misunderstandings many in the international community have about the Iranian people’s aspirations, and why the demand for sovereignty and democratic reform has become more urgent than ever.

Looking ahead, we discuss what developments the world should be watching in the coming months and what the international community needs to understand about the Iranian people’s determination to define their own path forward.

At its core, this conversation is about a simple but profound principle: a nation’s future belongs to its people.

In this gripping episode of I Am Refocused Radio, we sit down with national security expert Dr. Daniel M. Gerstein to explore his powerful new book, War Without Humanity: Conflict in the Post-Human Era.
The story opens in February 2039 on the tense Latvia–Russia border, where a U.S. Army platoon relies on humanoid robotic forces to hold the line—until the machines suddenly disobey orders and launch a cross-border attack. Connected through a brain–computer interface, the platoon leader watches in real time, unable to stop what could ignite World War III.

From that chilling moment, the conversation expands into a real-world exploration of the technologies already reshaping modern warfare.

We dive into the rise of augmented soldiers, artificial intelligence with human-level decision making, biotechnology that creates enhanced warfighters, and the Internet of Things turning the battlefield into a living network. As humans become nodes in a digital combat ecosystem, the line between man and machine begins to disappear.

But the deeper questions go beyond strategy and innovation:
When autonomous systems act on their own, who is accountable?
If enhanced humans begin to see themselves as a new species, what happens to loyalty and command?

Can humanity maintain its moral and spiritual identity in a post-human military age?

Dr. Gerstein walks us through the evolution of a transhuman future force—from concept and testing to the road to war—revealing how today’s research is shaping tomorrow’s reality.
This episode is not just about the future of combat.

It’s about leadership, responsibility, identity, and whether human values can survive in an era where evolution is no longer natural—but engineered.

Jackson, Organized a Protest That Took Multiple Hostages, Among Them Martin Luther King Sr. iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, and Brian Grazer and Ron Howard's Imagine Entertainment today announced the launch of "The A Building," a powerful new documentary podcast that revisits one of the most extraordinary and rarely told moments in American civil rights and higher-education history-an event that changed the future of Historically Black Colleges and Universities and helped define the modern era of student protest. This is the seventh title to be released from Imagine Entertainment and iHeartMedia's slate of original iHeartPodcasts. The series tells the story of the 1969 student uprising at Morehouse College, where a group of students barricaded themselves inside the administration building-known on Historically Black Colleges and Universities campuses as "The A Building." Set against the backdrop of late-1960s America, "The A Building" explores a volatile period when student activism surged nationwide amid movements for civil rights, women's rights, labor justice, and opposition to the Vietnam War. At Morehouse, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. intensified tensions between the administration and a student body demanding an education that reflected Black history, identity and lived experience-and ultimately led students to hold members of the Board of Trustees hostage for two days demanding reforms to curriculum and improvements to student life. One of the hostages was Martin Luther King Sr., president of the Board of Trustees. One of the student organizers was Samuel L. Jackson-years before he would become one of the most celebrated figures in Hollywood. Samuel L. Jackson and his friends devised a plan to hijack a Board of Trustees meeting to create change. A heist with a purpose. Blending immersive reenactments with firsthand testimony, archival research and expert analysis, the series unfolds with the tension of a true-crime heist-one driven by moral urgency. "The A Building" examines the risks students took, the consequences they faced, and the lasting impact of their actions on Historically Black Colleges and Universities and student activism nationwide. Co-created and produced by Menelek Lumumba and Hans Charles, the podcast traces the aftermath of the protest, including the expulsion of the students involved, the escalation of political pressure, and the pivotal moment that ultimately led Samuel L. Jackson back to Morehouse-where a change in academic focus quietly set him on the path toward acting. "This project has been years in the making, but it feels more relevant than ever," said Menelek Lumumba, co-creator and producer. "I'm grateful we have the opportunity to tell this story about young people who took action, and how their one act of protest continues to reverberate through all those involved over 50 years later." "It's an incredible, unbelievable story when you first hear it," said Hans Charles, co-creator and producer. "That it happened on a campus like Morehouse College, in a city like Atlanta, at such a volatile time, speaks to the importance of telling and exploring what is quintessential American History." "What makes the story of 'The A Building' so compelling is how clearly it reveals the purpose and power of protest," said Nathan Kloke, Executive Producer for Imagine Entertainment. "When Hans and Menelek first brought us this pivotal chapter of American history, it unfolded like a heist film-fast-paced, surprising, and utterly gripping. We're excited to bring audiences along for the ride." "This is premium documentary storytelling that connects history to the present," said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. "'The A Building' revisits a moment that feels both historic and urgently relevant, revealing how student voices helped shape lasting institutional change." "The A Building" is part of a growing slate of documentary podcasts from iHeartPodcasts and Imagine Entertainment, including"Hello Isaac," "Unf**cking the Future," "Big Sugar," "The Tao of Muhammad Ali," "Obscurum, and "The Secret World of Roald Dahl," which explore iconic figures, cultural flashpoints, and untold stories through deep reporting and cinematic storytelling. Nathan Kloke and Kara Welker are Executive Producers for Imagine Entertainment in partnership with oddarts media. Katrina Norvell is the Executive Producer for iHeartPodcasts. "The A Building" is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and will be available weekly on Fridays on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.

A highly trained martial artist and actor, Michael Jai White has broken barriers as a Hollywood star and international box office sensation. With his dynamic personality, agile abilities and a physique of a bodybuilder, Michael has earned respect for his versatile talents both on and off screen.

Born November 10th in Brooklyn, New York, it was after watching the movie Five Fingers of Death, Michael's interest in the martial arts began. At the tender age seven, Michael started taking weekly Japanese Jujitsu classes to stay focused while growing up on the tough streets of Brooklyn. By age eight, Michael's family relocated to Bridgeport, Connecticut where he studied the Shotokan and Kyokushin forms of karate and earned his first black belt by age 13. Upton graduating from Bridgeport's Central High School, Michael went on to further his education, first attending Southern Connecticut and then UConn. While winning multiple championships as a national martial arts competitor, Michael became a Special Education teacher at Wilbur Cross Elementary School in Bridgeport.

Bitten by the acting bug in college, while teaching, Michael began auditioning for commercials and acting gigs on weekends and summer breaks. Michael landed the lead role of Tom Robinson in the first Off-Broadway adaptation of To Kill A Mockingbird, starring opposite Tony Award Winner George Grizzard. Shortly after, Michael began landing jobs in commercials and guest starring roles on television shows and films; he eventually left teaching and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career full-time.

Before long, Michael would go on to guest star on such hit television shows as Saved by the Bell, Martin, NYPT Bue, and CSI. Proving his acting ability, Michael would soon be cast for the lead role of legendary boxer Mike Tyson in the HBO biopic Tyson which solidified his legitimacy as a dramatic actor in Hollywood.

Michael was then cast to play the title character in the movie Spawn which came with the distinction of being the first black superhero in a major motion picture. As white cemented his Hollywood status as a bonafide action star, more diverse roles emerged that allowed him to showcase his physical prowess as well as display his on-screen charisma and comedic ability in such films as Exit Wounds, Undisputed 2, Silver Hawk, Blood & Bone, Black Dynamite and Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married and Why Did I Get Married Too playing opposite Tasha Smith. The two would ignite such on-screen chemistry, they would go on to start together in the long running OWN Network series, For Better or Worse.

Having proven himself as an actor, White would make his directorial debut with the action film Never Back Down 2: The Beatdown, in which he also starred. Based on the cult film Black Dynamite which White created and starred, he would go on to write and produce the hit animated television series bearing the same name. He would also win over audiences in a string of films, including Chain of Command, Chocolate City, Skin Trade, and Falcon Rising. He also guest stars in the recurring role of Ben Turner / Bronze Tiger on The CW hit series Arrow. He is currently directing and starring in Sony Pictures third install, Never Back Down 3: No Surrender, and will also reprise his role as Princeton in the upcoming Chocolate City 2.

As a martial artist, in 2013 Michael achieved his 8th black belt from mentor and legendary undefeated kick-boxing champion, Bill "Superfood" Wallace and was honored by Black Belt Magazine as their 2014 Man of the Year. Continuing the legacy of such greats as Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme, Michael is now the #1 martial arts action star in in America. Michael Jai White resides in Los Angeles with his wife, actress Gillian White and their three daughters

Amy breaks down how early leadership influence, relentless learning, and the right mentors shaped her confidence and career trajectory. She shares the pivotal advice that changed everything: law and sales are the same game, you’re either selling a product or selling a story and why believing in the “story” matters more than chasing titles.

This conversation goes deeper than resumes. Amy explains why most companies struggle because they put the wrong people in the wrong roles, how psychometric assessments reveal how you’re actually wired (not just how you see yourself), and why real growth comes from aligning your gifts with the right environment.

You’ll also hear a grounded take on modern success culture: the obsession with numbers, followers, and validation, versus the real value of relationships, authenticity, and being the kind of leader people want to work with across decades.

Zolal's story begins with profound personal loss: at a young age, she witnessed the regime murder her father, a respected writer and political dissident, during the horrific 1988 massacre of political prisoners. That tragedy ignited an unshakeable commitment — choosing not a medical career, but a lifelong path to bring freedom and justice to Iran.

https://ncr-iran.org/

She shares raw insights into:
The pivotal role of women's leadership and empowerment in dismantling tyranny and misogyny
The current climate inside Iran: the opposition and resistance movements (at home and abroad), ongoing protests, and human rights realities
Iran's geopolitical threats: terrorism, warmongering, and nuclear ambitions
Why the voices of political prisoners, dissidents, and freedom-seekers must be heard on the global stage

As someone rooted in both Iranian heritage and American perspective, Zolal bridges understanding in ways that resonate deeply — offering hope, clarity, and a vision for real change.
This conversation is a reminder that one person's courage can ripple into movements that reshape nations. If stories of resilience, purpose, and fighting for what's right move you, this episode is for you.

It’s that slow drain beneath the surface when you look like you’re doing “great” to everyone else, but inside you’re running on fumes, especially if you’re a leader, caregiver, or creative carrying a lot of weight.

We also unpack Delay the Binge, Pam’s idea of building a pause before the reaction, the coping pattern, or the burnout. Not pressure. Not shame. Just space, enough space to choose differently.
This is a natural continuation of our last conversation:

Plus One (how the past shapes us) → Quiet Depletion (the hidden cost of nonstop pushing) → Delay the Binge (the purposeful pause that interrupts the pattern).

If you’ve been holding it together for everybody, but you know you’re slowly leaking energy… this episode will feel like someone finally turned the lights on.

Young dancer Nia Sioux was only nine years old when she stepped into stardom as one of the original cast members of Lifetime's reality TV show Dance Moms. Nia learned new choreography week after week and competed against dancers from across the country as well as at her own studio. Perhaps her greatest obstacle was suffering through her dance teacher's ranking of the girls against each other in her infamous pyramid, where Nia spent the majority of her time on the bottom-all in front of an audience of millions.

But there was much that viewers didn't see. How her experiences in the studio went far beyond what made it into the show. How she was ostracized for not fitting into an aesthetic that wasn't designed for girls like her. How her friendships and her mental health crumbled under the strain of the show. How she lost control of her story and her voice.

But don't be fooled-this is a story about resilience. Nia is not looking for pity, sympathy, or validation as she reflects on her experiences. Instead, she is choosing to use her story as a celebration of triumph. Nia finally gets to tell her story in her own way and in her own words. In this captivating memoir, Nia reclaims both the spotlight and her narrative. 

In addition to going behind the scenes of the seven seasons of Dance Moms, she shows how she fought against the negative perceptions that dominated her tween and teen years and emerged as a confident young woman secure in her talents and her direction. Anyone who has ever felt misunderstood, overlooked, or stuck at the bottom of the pyramid will be inspired by Nia's story of overcoming. "Despite barriers and constant naysayers, assumptions and criticisms, only you know who you are inside and out," Nia says. "And you have the power to create your own narrative, your own level of success."

Nia provides a unique perspective on:
. Overcoming Adversity: From navigating the toxic environment of competitive dance and reality TV to her harrowing battle with Reflex Neurovascular Dystrophy (RND).
. Confronting Racism & Body Shaming: Nia speaks candidly about being the only Black girl on the team, facing microaggressions, and the constant pressure that impacted her self-worth.
. Inspiring a Generation: The book is a powerful message for young people, especially young Black girls, about knowing your value, protecting your peace, and pursuing your dreams unapologetically.

Anthony (SBA) Pro-Life America, joins the show to discuss the growing tension between the pro-life movement and Republican leadership. Following recent comments from President Donald Trump suggesting that the party should remain "flexible" on abortion policy, Pritchard outlines why the Hyde Amendment—a long-standing legislative provision that prevents federal taxpayer dollars from funding elective abortions—is a non-negotiable line in the sand for millions of voters.Key Discussion Points

• What is the Hyde Amendment? Pritchard explains that the Hyde Amendment has been a bipartisan consensus for nearly 50 years, ensuring that Americans are not forced to violate their conscience by funding elective abortions through federal programs.
• The "Shock" of Trump’s Comments: Despite previously being a champion of the Hyde Amendment, Trump’s recent call for "flexibility" has sparked swift backlash. Pritchard argues that moving away from Hyde is a "no-go" and "completely unacceptable" to the pro-life movement.
• Political Consequences & Stats: The interview highlights the high stakes for the 2026 midterms. Pritchard warns that even a small 1% to 2% drop in pro-life voter turnout could cost Republicans control of the Senate and House.
• The $80 Million Strategy: SBA Pro-Life America is launching a massive $80 million mobilization effort targeting battleground states like Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, and Iowa.
• A Moral Stand: Beyond politics, Pritchard emphasizes the moral weight of the issue, stating that taxpayer-funded abortion would lead to an increase in the number of abortions and cause "misery" for women across the country.

Following recent comments from President Donald Trump suggesting that the party should remain "flexible" on abortion policy, Pritchard outlines why the Hyde Amendment—a long-standing legislative provision that prevents federal taxpayer dollars from funding elective abortions—is a non-negotiable line in the sand for millions of voters.Key Discussion Points

• What is the Hyde Amendment? Pritchard explains that the Hyde Amendment has been a bipartisan consensus for nearly 50 years, ensuring that Americans are not forced to violate their conscience by funding elective abortions through federal programs.
• The "Shock" of Trump’s Comments: Despite previously being a champion of the Hyde Amendment, Trump’s recent call for "flexibility" has sparked swift backlash. Pritchard argues that moving away from Hyde is a "no-go" and "completely unacceptable" to the pro-life movement.
• Political Consequences & Stats: The interview highlights the high stakes for the 2026 midterms. Pritchard warns that even a small 1% to 2% drop in pro-life voter turnout could cost Republicans control of the Senate and House.
• The $80 Million Strategy: SBA Pro-Life America is launching a massive $80 million mobilization effort targeting battleground states like Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, and Iowa.
• A Moral Stand: Beyond politics, Pritchard emphasizes the moral weight of the issue, stating that taxpayer-funded abortion would lead to an increase in the number of abortions and cause "misery" for women across the country.

POLAR WAR: Submarines, Spies, and the Struggle for Power in a Melting Arctic by Kenneth R. Rosen (January 6, 2026/$29.00 hardcover) offers a blend of travelogue and frontline reporting that reveals how climate change, military ambition, and economic opportunity are transforming the Arctic into the epicenter of a new cold war in which the planet's great powers are struggling for dominance.Russian spies. Nuclear submarines. Sabotaged pipelines. Undersea communications severed in the dark of night. The fastest-warming place on earth-where apartment buildings, hospitals, and homes crumble daily as permafrost melts and villages get washed away by rising seas-the Arctic stands at the crossroads of geopolitical ambition and environmental catastrophe. As climate change thaws the northern latitudes, opening once ice-bound shipping lanes and access to natural resources, the world's military powers are rushing to stake their claims in this increasingly strategic region. We've entered a new cold war-and every day it grows hotter.In POLAR WAR, Rosen takes readers on an extraordinary journey across the changing face of the far north. Through intimate portraits of scientists, soldiers, and Indigenous community leaders representing the interests of twenty-one countries across four continents, he witnesses firsthand how rising temperatures and growing tensions are reshaping life above and below the Arctic Circle. He finds himself on the trail of Navy SEALs training for arctic warfare, embarks on Coast Guard patrols monitoring Russian incursions, participates in close-quarter-combat training aboard foreign icebreakers in the Arctic sea ice, and visits remote research stations where international cooperation is giving way to espionage and the search for long-frozen biological weapons.POLAR WAR concludes with a prescriptive Appendix, "Reigning in the Arctic," in which Rosen elucidates "several definite and immediate steps American lawmakers and the current presidential administration must take to not only advance our national security in the arctic but also preserve the region for generations to come."Drawing on hundreds of interviews and three years of reporting from the frontlines of climate change and great power competition, Rosen's deeply researched and personal accounts capture the diverse landscapes, people, and conflicted interests that define this complex northern region. The result is both an elegy for a vanishing landscape and an urgent warning about how the race for Arctic dominance could spark the next global conflict.

Their bond grew through creativity, shared values, and a deep desire to make a difference. Together, they later won an Emmy Award for a public service announcement addressing school gun violence - a project that reflected their heart for inspiring hope and protecting the next generation.Beyond their work in media, Gerald and Kevin have also been long-time business partners supporting individuals with developmental disabilities, running programs focused on empowerment and compassion. This commitment to community is woven into everything they do - and it became the foundation of Blessn.

The story of Blessn began in March 2023, when Gerald Jones became sick of doom scrolling on social media, and found himself bummed out after every TikTok session. It occurred to him that maybe there was a better way. There should be a short form video social media that uplifted and encouraged instead. He thought it would be better to faith scroll instead of doom scroll. He called his business partner, Kevin Clark, who was feeling the exact same way. They decided to create something themselves, that uplifted people about the world and each other. Something that encouraged connectedness.

Over the next several years, the two friends poured their faith, creativity, and personal savings into developing the Blessn app, testing every detail to make sure it felt safe, uplifting, and positive. Their mission is to shift the culture of social media and to make it a place where kindness, faith, and encouragement are celebrated, not drowned out by negativity.
At its heart, Blessn is more than an app - it’s a movement. A space where users can share uplifting videos, connect with others who believe in goodness, and replace endless “doom scrolling” with “faith scrolling.” Gerald and Kevin believe that positive scrolling has the power to change hearts, strengthen communities, and remind people that light always wins over darkness.

They decided to create something themselves, that uplifted people about the world and each other. Something that encouraged connectedness.

Over the next several years, the two friends poured their faith, creativity, and personal savings into developing the Blessn app, testing every detail to make sure it felt safe, uplifting, and positive. Their mission is to shift the culture of social media and to make it a place where kindness, faith, and encouragement are celebrated, not drowned out by negativity.
At its heart, Blessn is more than an app - it’s a movement. A space where users can share uplifting videos, connect with others who believe in goodness, and replace endless “doom scrolling” with “faith scrolling.” Gerald and Kevin believe that positive scrolling has the power to change hearts, strengthen communities, and remind people that light always wins over darkness.

With over 40% of Ukraine’s power infrastructure destroyed, millions are struggling to survive without consistent heat or electricity. Through the Heat and Hope campaign, Slavic Gospel Association is delivering firewood, generators, blankets, and life-saving support—often through pastors risking their lives near the frontlines.

Michael shares:

What daily life looks like for families surviving without heat
How local churches have become emergency warming centers
Why faith is more than belief—it’s action in moments like this
How everyday people can make a real-world impact right now

Adrien began his career in business development, spending a decade working across healthcare, technology, and education. But in 2007, a mission trip to Haiti with his wife, Cynthia, shifted everything. The experience ignited a deeper calling and opened his eyes to the impact of showing up for vulnerable children.

For the next three years, Adrien volunteered with The Global Orphan Project, gaining firsthand insight into how powerful simple connections can be in a child’s life. In 2010, he felt a clear prompting from God to step away from the business world and devote himself fully to advocating for orphaned and abandoned children.

That calling led him and his family into foster care and adoption—and eventually inspired the creation of CarePortal, a Care-Sharing technology that mobilizes local communities to respond to the needs of children and families in crisis. Today, CarePortal is transforming lives through meaningful, real-time connections built on compassion, action, and faith.

More than a play-by-play of executive orders and media showdowns, Jennings's book provides a sharp, surprising look at how Trump moved fast, broke norms, and reframed the political debate around a single question: What makes sense? His combination of sharp political acumen and unmatched access makes A REVOLUTION OF COMMON SENSE essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the significance of the Trump presidency.An unprecedented inside look at how President Donald Trump has re-taken Washington by storm in his historic second term, written with the participation of the President and his inner circle.From the Oval Office to Air Force One, and from his unique perch as the most popular conservative commentator at CNN, Jennings provides a revelatory look at the dramatic return of Donald Trump to the White House and his efforts to restore common sense to American government and save Western Civilization in the process.

KEY THEMES AND INSIGHTS
. Unprecedented Access to Power: Rare behind-the-scenes accounts and interviews with some of the most consequential figures in the administration, including President Trump, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, Scott Bessent, and Elon Musk. Jennings highlights their roles in shaping policies and offers unique insights into their interactions and decision-making processes.

. Restoring Common Sense in Governance: What the Trump team's historic actions on immigration, tariffs, and energy independence mean for America's future.

. Reform and Efficiency: The book examines efforts to streamline bureaucracy and challenge the status quo in Washington, including Elon Musk's appointment to lead DOGE, his efforts to cut government waste, and the backlash. Jennings also reports on private conversations between Trump and Musk about leveraging technology and innovation to rehaul government operations.

. Trump's Foreign Policy and Economic Nationalism: Trump's unconventional diplomacy, including efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war and his focus on reshaping global trade through policies like the "Liberation Day" tariffs.

. Putting Readers In The Room: Jennings provides an insider's look at a visit to the Oval Office and a trip on Air Force One, where President Trump discusses policy priorities and strategy with his advisors, offering a glimpse into his leadership style.

. The Media's Role in Politics: Jennings' front-line perspective on the cultural and political battles playing out on national television.

. America's Future: How Trump's policies and vision are shaping the nation amid shifting global dynamics, and how his second term is reshaping American leadership at home and abroad amid evolving geopolitical challenges.

SCOTT JENNINGS BIO

If you have social media, chances are you've seen Scott Jennings in your feed battling four or five liberals at a time in one of his many viral clips. Dubbed "the black sheep of CNN" by The Daily Mail and "Lonely Scott" by Bill Maher, Scott has become one of the most popular conservative commentators in America by delivering humorous, sharp, and well-sourced commentary on American politics and the Trump Presidency. His battles on NewsNight with Abby and other CNN shows have made him a hero of the American right, and since the 2024 election clips of Scott's CNN appearances have defined the Republican zeitgeist like no other pundit. Scott is Senior Political Contributor for CNN, appearing across the network's programs and is a staple of big event coverage. He's a native of Kentucky, where he resides with his family, chickens, and dogs. He's a Founding Partner of RunSwitch Public Relations, a graduate of the University of Louisville, and a 25+ year veteran of Republican politics. His long experience in political communications and strategy makes him a trusted confidante of Republicans across the country and a popular columnist for publications like The Daily Mail and the Los Angeles Times.

From understanding how mifepristone and misoprostol work in the body to uncovering complications often misreported as miscarriages, this episode separates politics from science to focus on what truly matters — women’s health and safety.

Listeners will hear:

• What happens medically during a chemical abortion — and how it differs from surgical procedures.
• The most common complications ER doctors are seeing and why they’re often undocumented.
• Why ultrasound screenings and accurate data reporting are essential for patient protection.
• What steps medical professionals can take to better recognize and treat abortion drug complications.
• How to recognize warning signs that require immediate medical attention.

This is not a debate — it’s a medical conversation every woman deserves to hear.

ABOUT HER BOOK A DREAM DEFERRED
Jesse Jackson, the civil rights leader, activist, raconteur, and political candidate, finally gets a book worthy of his stature courtesy of CNN anchor Abby Phillip. Focusing on his presidential runs in 1984 and, especially, 1988, Phillip highlights how Jackson built an unlikely coalition that showed how Black political power could be consolidated. His experience working under Martin Luther King; his organizing the SLCC's Operation Breadbasket in Chicago and beyond; and his roots in the deep South combined into two astonishingly impactful presidential campaigns. Appealing to the working people of urban enclaves like that of Chicago, young people on college campuses, and Black people across the South, he created the modern Democratic coalition-one that has been used by all major Democrats seeking national success from With her expert reporting, natural storytelling skills, and a story so full of humanity, politics, and hope, Abby Phillip has written a rousing popular history that sheds new light on an American icon. "Jesse Jackson's presidential campaigns showed America that leadership could look different, that power could be shared, and that more voices deserved to be heard," said Phillip. "His movement laid the foundation for the coalitions that define our democracy today. This book is my effort to capture the urgency, the messiness, and the possibility of that era, and what it still has to teach us now." At a time when questions of representation, democracy, and belonging are once again at the forefront of American life, A Dream Deferred offers urgent lessons from a leader who pioneered modern coalition politics. The battles Jesse Jackson fought in the 1980s, over voter access, multiracial coalition-building, and the visibility of Black political leadership, mirror the very debates shaping our politics today. By revisiting Jackson's story, Phillip not only restores him to his rightful place in history, but also reminds us that the struggles of the past are inseparable from the challenges of the present.

Born March 28, 1963 in Detroit, Michigan, Derrick Gervin rose from gritty inner-city roots to carve out a dynamic international basketball career. Standing 6′8″, he honed his skills at University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) from 1981–1985, earning his place as a Roadrunner legend. Wikipedia+1 Selected in the 4th round (90th overall) of the 1985 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers, Gervin’s NBA chapter included 77 games with the New Jersey Nets between 1989–1991, where he averaged 8.8 points per game.

Beyond the NBA, his résumé spans global courts: a standout in the Israeli Basketball Premier League where he earned MVP honors in 1995 and twice ranked as the league’s top scorer (1996, 1998).

Gervin also captured a CBA championship in 1992 and was named to the All-CBA First Team in 1990.

UTSA retired his jersey (#30) in recognition of his impact and legacy.

Derrick’s journey isn’t just about points and boards—it’s about perseverance, global ambition, and leaving a mark wherever the game takes you.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author and Fox News Channel’s Chief Political Anchor, a fresh and fascinating exploration of the extraordinary life of Teddy Roosevelt, revealing how his bold leadership thrust America onto the world stage and changed the course of world history.
"As Bret Baier shows in this wonderfully readable biography, Theodore Roosevelt has many lessons for today." —Walter Isaacson

There has never been a president like Theodore Roosevelt. An iconoclast shaped by fervent ideals, his early life seems ripped from the pages of an adventure novel: abandoning his place in the New York aristocracy, he was drawn to the thrill of the West, becoming an honorary cowboy who won the respect of the rough men of the plains, adopting their code of authenticity and courage. As a New York State legislator, he fought corruption and patronage. As New York City police commissioner, he walked the beat at night to hold his men accountable; and as New York governor, he butted heads with the old guard to bring fresh air to a state mired in political corruption. He was also a passionate naturalist, conservationist, and hunter who collected hundreds of specimens of birds and animals throughout his life. He was a soldier and commander who led a regiment of “Rough Riders” to victory in the Spanish-American War, a show of leadership and bravery that put him on the national map. As president, he brought energy, laughter, and bold ideas to the White House, pursuing a vigorous agenda that established America as a leader on the world stage —from advancing the Panama Canal, brokering peace with Russia, and taking on business elites.

Bret Baier’s exquisite book reveals the storied life of a leader whose passion, daring, and prowess left an indelible mark on the fabric of our country and reimagined the possibilities of the presidency.

  A shocking new report from Global Witness reveals how TikTok’s algorithm has directed young users toward sexually explicit content — while at the same time, Christian entertainment platform TruPlay is being censored for promoting safe, faith-filled games for kids.
  
  TruPlay CEO Brent Dusing joins the conversation to expose what’s really happening behind the scenes — from banned ads that mention faith, to the double standards that let violent and graphic content run free.
  
  This isn’t just a story about censorship — it’s about who controls the message your kids see.
  
  Brent Dusing created TruPlay to bring excellent, fun, beautiful, and biblically authentic entertainment to audiences worldwide. An entrepreneur at heart, Brent pioneered game creation with Christian content through Lightside Games, a Christian gaming studio reaching more than 7 million game players world wide and resulting in 25,000 decisions for Christ through partnering with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. As the founder and CEO of Cellfire, Brent created the nation's leading mobile coupon company, used today at grocers like Safeway and Kroger, leading Catalina Marketing to acquire Cellfire for $108M. Brent began his career as a venture capitalist at Menlo Ventures, where he sourced multiple 9-figure exits and generated top-quartile returns. Over his career, Brent has been featured on CNN, Fox News, ABC News, The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, and other news media. Brent has a bachelor's degree in economics from Harvard University. Brent serves on the Board of Directors at Promise Keepers.

  October 7 unleashed a new war in the Middle East, a place where nothing ever seems to be solved, or resolved. Whose land is it really? Who is good and who is evil? How can good prevail over evil without becoming evil itself? Could the fate of the world, of humanity itself, be tied to this conflict? And how does America fit into the picture?
  
  Based on Jonathan Cahn’s #1 international bestseller, The Dragon’s Prophecy, this film provides a secret key to unlock the problem and the solution. Cahn reveals that October 7 and today’s conflicts in the Middle East are an eerie revival of ancient battles described in the early books of the Bible, suggesting that we may be living in the end times of humanity itself.
  
  The film offers dramatic, never-before-seen live footage of October 7, together with on-site reporting and interviews with major figures like Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. It also reveals the astonishing discoveries of biblical archeology confirming the historic events recorded in the Bible and the ancient presence of the Jews in the land of Israel.
  
  Dinesh D'Souza
  
  Dinesh D’Souza brings history, current events and bible prophecy together in a stunning and original film to illustrate the true meaning of October 7, anti-Semitism, terrorism, and the hidden forces that battle endlessly for the ultimate prize, which is the human soul – your soul. The film ends with an inspiring call to action to Jews and Christians to return to their roots and stand up for good and resist evil.
  
  Born in Mumbai, India, Dinesh D'Souza came to the United States as an exchange student in 1978 and graduated in 1983 from Dartmouth College. In his twenties, he served as a policy analyst in the Reagan White House. For two decades, he was a scholar in two prominent "think tanks," the American Enterprise Institute and the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.
  
  D'Souza has made eight documentary films, and three of those are in the top 10 highest-grossing political documentaries of all time. His best-known films include Obama's America, America: Imagine a World Without Her, Hillary's America, and 2000 Mules. D'Souza also does a daily podcast in audio and video, the Dinesh D'Souza Podcast, which is seen and heard by around 100,000 people daily.
  D'Souza has written influential and bestselling books on politics, religion, culture and economics, such as Illiberal Education, The End of Racism, What's So Great About America and United States of Socialism. He has also published three books on Christian apologetics: What's So Great About Christianity, Life After Death and Godforsaken.

  CNN anchor and chief Washington correspondent Jake Tapper joined the network in January 2013. Tapper currently anchors a two-hour weekday program, The Lead with Jake Tapper, which debuted in March 2013. He has hosted CNN's Sunday morning show, State of the Union, since June 2015. In April 2021, he became the lead anchor for CNN for Washington, D.C. events.
  
  Tapper imparts his political expertise on State of the Union by conducting interviews with top newsmakers on politics and policy, covering Washington, the country and the world. The Lead covers headlines from around the country and the globe, the top stories in national and international news, politics, health, money, the environment, sports and popular culture, and concentrates on bringing stories that aren't found on front pages -buried leads- to the forefront.
  
  ABOUT RACE AGAINST TERROR: Chasing an Al Qaeda Killer at the Dawn of the Forever War
  Two assistant US attorneys race to lock up a dangerous al Qaeda terrorist before he's set free in one of the most riveting true crime stories of the 21st century-from #1New York Times bestselling author and CNN anchor Jake Tapper.
  
  June 2011: a man fleeing the Arab Spring on a refugee boat surrenders himself to Italian authorities. He claims that, as a terrorist, he is responsible for the deaths of American soldiers. This unexpected surrender sets off an unlikely chain of events and one of the most significant, but little-known, cases in American history.
  
  When federal prosecutors Dave Bitkower and Shreve Ariail get the call from the FBI that the Italians have known terrorist Spin Ghul in custody, they immediately recognize the stakes of the situation. Determined to deliver justice for the soldiers killed in combat, they must traverse the globe, uncovering facts and evidence from thousands of miles away on a remote battlefield in Afghanistan.
  Through intense reporting and meticulous recreation, from the battlefield to the courthouse, Race Against Terror tells the story of a man radicalized to enact violence, of the courageous soldiers who risked their lives for each other, and the diverse set of law enforcement, intelligence, and military personnel who work tirelessly to stay one step ahead of disaster. In doing so, Jake Tapper uncovers a gripping narrative history that reveals the true costs of the War on Terror and delivers a salient warning for the increasing threats we face to this day.

  The concept of evil is universal, ancient, and ever present today. The biblical book of Genesis clearly defines it when Cain kills his brother Abel out of jealousy. Evil is a choice to make another suffer. As long as human beings have walked, evil has been close by.
  
  Confronting Evil by Bill O'Reilly and Josh Hammer recounts the deeds of the worst people in history: Genghis Khan. The Roman Emperor Caligula. Henry VIII. The collective evil of the 19th century slave traders and the 20th century robber barons. Stalin. Hitler. Mao. The Ayatollah Khomeini. Putin. The Mexican drug cartels. Collectively, these warlords, tyrants, businessmen, and criminals are directly responsible for the death and misery of hundreds of millions of people.
  
  By telling what they did and why they did it, Confronting Evil explains the struggle between good and evil--a choice every person in the Judeo-Christian tradition is compelled to make. But many defer. We avoid the life decision. We look away. It's easier.
  
  Prepare yourself to read the consequences of that inaction. As John Stuart Mill said in his inaugural address to the University of St. Andrews in 1867: "Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing."
  
  BILL O'REILLY BIO
  
  Bill O'Reilly is a trailblazing TV journalist who has experienced unprecedented success on cable news and in writing fifteen national number-one bestselling nonfiction books. There are currently more than 17 million books in the Killing series in print. He currently hosts the 'No Spin News' on BillOReilly.com. He lives on Long Island.

  Anna-Sigga Nicolazzi, a former prosecutor for the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office, hosts the new audio series. She also co-hosts the true crime podcast Anatomy of Murder, and hosted the TV series True Conviction.During her first semester of law school, Nicolazzi felt particularly drawn to her criminal law class, and knew then that she wanted to be a prosecutor. "I thought it would be very exciting and in my mind, hopefully doing some good," she told NBC Insider. "Something that I felt was contributing to society."And she soon landed a job in one of the country's largest district attorney's offices. "Brooklyn is a city within a city in New York and I stepped into that courtroom, and I watched people on trial and I just knew, that is exactly what I wanna do," Nicolazzi said.During her time with the Brooklyn District Attorney's office, she tried more than 50 felony cases, including 35 homicides. "I love the challenge of putting the pieces together of a puzzle - having to then pack that all up, and explain it to a group of 12 citizens that come from all different walks of life because the challenge is to make sure they agree," Nicolazzi said.

In a world split between noble Lions and destructive Scavengers, only the brave can lead the way. Acclaimed writer and conservative thought leader Ben Shapiro knows that at the heart of today's conflicts-political, economic, and cultural-there's a dangerous lie: that all people are equal in ability, and that all inequality stems from oppression and exploitation. With his signature clarity and sharp insight, Shapiro refutes that lie, emphasizing that in a free country, inequality is rooted in differences of talent and work ethic-not oppression-and that the best solution to lack of success lies in duty and virtue. Lions, like America's founding fathers, strive for the highest good, building systems that promote freedom, prosperity, and equality of opportunity. Meanwhile, Scavengers degrade these ideals, spreading resentment and entitlement that threaten to dismantle the foundations of Western civilization. In Lions and Scavengers, Shapiro invites you to take up the mantle of the Lion and defend the principles that shape the freedom of a fair, powerful society. With the stakes higher than ever, this book is a gripping exploration of the ongoing war between those who cherish our nation and those who seek to undermine it. The triumph of the Lions is essential for America's continued success. It's a rallying cry for those who refuse to bow to the Scavengers' demands. It's time to fight back.

  His journey has been shaped by extraordinary moments:
  
  At age 7, a near-death experience gave him a sense of divine purpose.
  
  At 12, he overcame morbid childhood obesity.
  
  In 2010, becoming a father inspired him to reimagine the hero’s journey by including the feminine voice—leading to The Amazons poetry series and his invention of LLP (Linked Lyrical Poetry).
  
  In 2020, the pandemic awakened his mission to create The Sigma Squad graphic novel, rooted in ancient Gnostic texts and the fight against darkness.
  
  In 2025, he joined forces with German musicians to form The Angellics, currently producing their debut album.
  
  This conversation goes beyond biography—it’s about resilience, creativity, and a relentless drive to serve humanity through art, music, and storytelling.
  
  If you’ve ever wondered how poetry, music, and faith can collide with raw life experience to inspire change, Peter Gunn’s story will leave you motivated and thinking deeper.

From risky all-cash deals to turning junkyard houses into jaw-dropping showpieces, these two prove that hustle, heart, and a little bit of Hill Country grit can turn even the roughest property into real estate gold.
  
  About the Show – The Mother Flip In The Mother Flip, best friends and fellow moms Kristy Etheredge and Rebecca Franchione—alongside contractor Roy Salinas—take on Texas Hill Country’s worst homes and flip them into stunning, high-value properties. With all-cash buys, bold renovation plans, and a fearless attitude, they turn neglected, rundown houses into sophisticated showstoppers, splitting the profits three ways.
  
  The series kicks off with "Junkyard Gem", where a promising unlisted property in a prime Austin neighborhood turns out to be a nightmare—think junk piles, overgrown yards, and major repairs needed. But Kristy and Rebecca aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty, transforming the disaster into a luxurious, modern home that could fetch a big payday.
  
  Kristy Etheredge – Bio Kristy Etheredge is a Texas Hill Country local with a career spanning over 25 years in marketing, sales, event design, and management. She’s worked with powerhouse brands like the PGA TOUR, NHL, NFL, and SXSW, where she mastered the art of executing high-pressure projects with creativity and precision. Today, Kristy brings that same energy into flipping homes—managing budgets, sourcing salvaged materials, and crafting beautiful, cost-effective designs. A wife and mom of two teenage athletes, Kristy thrives on big challenges and always finds efficient solutions to make visions come to life.
  
  Rebecca Franchione – Bio Rebecca Franchione’s flipping career is fueled by guts, grit, and a sharp eye for deals. After 25 years of moving around the country as the wife of a college football coach, Rebecca embraced a new chapter—divorced, raising three teenagers, and flipping houses at a rapid pace. In just the past year, she’s completed 18 flips, always chasing the thrill of transforming overlooked properties into profitable investments. A published author and community-minded entrepreneur, Rebecca’s hustle is matched only by her fearless approach to design and negotiation. She lives in the Texas Hill Country across the street from Kristy, proving that sometimes your best business partner is also your next-door neighbor.

  ABOUT BREAKING THE LAW
  Alex Marlow, editor-in-chief of Breitbart News and two-time New York Times bestselling author of Breaking the News and Breaking Biden, returns with his third book: BREAKING THE LAW: EXPOSING THE WEAPONIZATION OF AMERICA'S LEGAL SYSTEM AGAINST DONALD TRUMP (Threshold Editions; Hardcover; On-sale August 5, 2025), a fearless and thoroughly researched exposé on the new political battleground: the American legal system. In this urgent and gripping book, Marlow turns his sharp investigative lens to the legal cases targeting President Donald Trump-and what they mean for the future of the conservative movement and the rule of law in America. BREAKING THE LAW reveals how legal institutions are being repurposed as political weapons. Marlow not only exposes the players and tactics behind this unprecedented campaign but also makes bold predictions about where this trend is heading-and what conservatives must do to fight back. Hailed "a must read" by President Trump, Marlow's book is both timely and timeless. It's the first major retrospective on the 2024 election and how the legal war on Trump influenced voters, media narratives, and the conservative base. This is Alex Marlow at his most uncompromising and clear-eyed. With the same meticulous reporting and narrative drive that defined his previous works, BREAKING THE LAW offers a provocative and authoritative response to one of the most consequential legal and political stories of our time.

ANDREW GILLUM BIO 

Andrew Gillum made history at 23 as the youngest person elected to the Tallahassee City Commission and went on to serve as Mayor, where he championed early education, restorative justice, and sustainability initiatives, including building a 20-megawatt solar farm. Under his leadership, Tallahassee earned national recognition as an All-America City, a top city for entrepreneurs, and a TechHire city. A longtime advocate for local governance, Gillum launched the Campaign to Defend Local Solutions after successfully challenging the gun lobby in court. In 2018, he became the first African American major-party nominee for Florida governor, forcing a historic recount after a narrow loss in a record-turnout election. Gillum also spent 15 years at People for the American Way Foundation, where he co-founded Young People For and the Young Elected Officials Network, supporting over 1,000 progressive leaders nationwide. He's been honored by *EBONY*, served as a Harvard Kennedy School Fellow, and contributed to CNN as a political commentator. He now leads a consultancy based in Tallahassee, where he lives with his wife and three children.

ANDREW GILLUM BIO 

Andrew Gillum made history at 23 as the youngest person elected to the Tallahassee City Commission and went on to serve as Mayor, where he championed early education, restorative justice, and sustainability initiatives, including building a 20-megawatt solar farm. Under his leadership, Tallahassee earned national recognition as an All-America City, a top city for entrepreneurs, and a TechHire city. A longtime advocate for local governance, Gillum launched the Campaign to Defend Local Solutions after successfully challenging the gun lobby in court. In 2018, he became the first African American major-party nominee for Florida governor, forcing a historic recount after a narrow loss in a record-turnout election. Gillum also spent 15 years at People for the American Way Foundation, where he co-founded Young People For and the Young Elected Officials Network, supporting over 1,000 progressive leaders nationwide. He's been honored by *EBONY*, served as a Harvard Kennedy School Fellow, and contributed to CNN as a political commentator. He now leads a consultancy based in Tallahassee, where he lives with his wife and three children.

Thank you for your time. ]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/67022666Fri, 18 Jul 2025 02:24:52 +0000I Am Refocused RadioWhat if Jesus walked into your city—right now, in 2025? In this bold and unfiltered episode, New York Times bestselling author David Gregory sits down with Shemaiah Reed to unpack his groundbreaking new novel One of Us, which imagines the Gospels...

• Why fiction hits the heart in ways sermons can’t
• How today’s church might miss Jesus completely if He showed up
• The hidden struggles of faith, failure, and performance-based Christianity
• What the gospel really means to a generation tired of religion but hungry for truth
• And why it’s time to rethink how we talk about God, grace, and identity

This isn’t your typical church chat. This is raw. Real. And deeply necessary. Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between—this conversation will challenge what you think you know about Jesus and inspire you to see Him in a whole new light.

Jamie Neumann is a force on screen, known for disappearing into roles that live in the gray area. She broke out with her powerful performance as a sex worker-turned-activist in HBO’s The Deuce, and kept audiences on edge in Lovecraft Country, Jessica Jones, and Donald Glover’s Atlanta, where she played a foster parent whose well-meaning liberalism went dangerously off course. She’s worked across genres and with some of the most visionary creators in the game—David Simon, Jordan Peele, Donald Glover, and more—always bringing raw intensity and soul to her characters. With recent credits including Twisted Metal, 61st Street, NOS4A2, and American Rust, Jamie continues to prove she’s not just in the scene—she is the scene. 

In this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, Jamie Neumann joins us to break down her latest role in THIRSTY and what it really takes to portray a woman balancing purpose, power, and personal sacrifice. We talk about the cost of ambition, the emotional layers of playing Audrey Allen, and how Jamie chooses roles that shake the audience out of comfort and into truth. If you’re into storytelling that hits hard, characters that leave a mark, and conversations that go deeper than the script—this one’s for you.

ABOUT THIRSTY, AVAILABLE ON DEMAND 

THIRSTY follows the upstart campaign of an audacious attorney Audrey Allen (Jamie Neumann) as she strives to unseat the incumbent mayor of Oakland. Driven by her rough upbringing and altruistic desires, Audrey is willing to endure the relentless demands of campaign life. This is a woman who fights to win. Audrey's criticism of the popular incumbent mayor Maya King (Brandee Evans) motivates a veteran of the political game Anne Dixon (Kyra Sedgwick) to bolster her struggling campaign. Audrey's skeptical husband Tae Kim (Sung Kang) views Anne's behavior as machiavellian but fails to convince his wife to move more cautiously. Audrey is blinded by ambition and subsequently thrust into the limelight with her family in tow.

Anne's go-to political operative Valentina Ramos (Briana Venskus-Vazquez) isn't Audrey's fan but reluctantly becomes her campaign manager anyway. They clash over tactical issues and Audrey's charismatic field manager Derek Williams (Tyler Lepley) often steps in as referee. As the campaign gains momentum, T.K. becomes increasingly alienated and the tensions in their marriage escalate. Audrey's daughter Eunbi also feels the sting of her mother's absence. At Anne's behest, Audrey keeps her troubled sister Sonia (Thora Birch) at arm's length but this strategy soon becomes untenable. As election day approaches, Audrey is guilt-ridden for not being a more involved mother, sister and wife but nevertheless remains consumed by election fever. Soon she is confronted with impossible decisions that put both her career and her family on the line. Audrey must reconcile the seduction of the political game with her own moral compass or risk losing it all.

HarperCollins Children's Books announced the publication of PAJAMMIN' by musician Ziggy Marley and acclaimed illustrator Letícia Moreno. Inspired by Bob Marley's iconic song "Jamming," this story about a family's fun-filled pajama party will inspire young readers and their caregivers to make bedtime a ritual worth celebrating.

Carrying on his father's legacy of fostering joy and connection, Marley transforms iconic lines from "Jamming" into a bouncy, bedtime read-aloud. The result is a rollicking roadmap for screen-free family time, complete with Moreno's exuberant illustrations inspired by Marley's own multicultural family.
"This book is about togetherness and happiness," said Marley. "Children and adults will be able to tell 'cause the love that we put into it is vibrating from the pages. I am so happy to share this with everyone."

"Ziggy brings the same joy and warmth to his books that he brings to his music, and working with him on this project has been a delight. Inspired by his own family's rituals and his father's iconic and beloved lyrics, he has created a celebration of creative play and family togetherness that's perfectly captured in Letícia Moreno's buoyant art," said Lynne Polvino, Senior Editor at Clarion Books.
Marley is the eldest son of reggae icons Bob Marley and Rita Marley, and is a celebrated, eight-time Grammy Award-winning artist. He continues his father's mission of fighting for equality and social justice through his music; humanitarian work with his nonprofit, the U.R.G.E. Foundation; and long history of creating art for children and families. His album Family Time was #1 on the Reggae Charts, #2 on the Kids' Charts, and won a Grammy for Best Children's Album, as well as an Emmy for Outstanding Original Song for the video from "I Love You Too." Marley performed the Arthur theme song, "Believe in Yourself," which played at the top of every episode over its 25-year run, and he has appeared on children's television shows like Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, and Chopped Junior. Furthering his dedication to children's literacy, PAJAMMIN' will join Marley's previous picture books, including Little John Crow, I Love You Too, My Dog Romeo, and Music Is in Everything, on shelves this summer.

ABOUT ZIGGY MARLEY
Ziggy Marley is an eight-time Grammy winner, Emmy winner, musician, producer, humanitarian, and author with a long history of projects for kids and families, including the picture books I Love You Too, My Dog Romeo, and Music Is in Everything. He is the eldest son of reggae icons Bob Marley and Rita Marley. When he's not making music or writing books, Ziggy likes to play chess and soccer and enjoys cooking and gardening. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Orly, and their children.

"Ziggy brings the same joy and warmth to his books that he brings to his music, and working with him on this project has been a delight. Inspired by his own family's rituals and his father's iconic and beloved lyrics, he has created a celebration of creative play and family togetherness that's perfectly captured in Letícia Moreno's buoyant art," said Lynne Polvino, Senior Editor at Clarion Books.
Marley is the eldest son of reggae icons Bob Marley and Rita Marley, and is a celebrated, eight-time Grammy Award-winning artist. He continues his father's mission of fighting for equality and social justice through his music; humanitarian work with his nonprofit, the U.R.G.E. Foundation; and long history of creating art for children and families. His album Family Time was #1 on the Reggae Charts, #2 on the Kids' Charts, and won a Grammy for Best Children's Album, as well as an Emmy for Outstanding Original Song for the video from "I Love You Too." Marley performed the Arthur theme song, "Believe in Yourself," which played at the top of every episode over its 25-year run, and he has appeared on children's television shows like Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, and Chopped Junior. Furthering his dedication to children's literacy, PAJAMMIN' will join Marley's previous picture books, including Little John Crow, I Love You Too, My Dog Romeo, and Music Is in Everything, on shelves this summer.

The talented NYC-based comedian and singer-songwriter Sydney Kane has performed everywhere from off-off-off-barely-Broadway stages to the glamorous 9x16 iPhone screen, and beyond. She built a loyal following on social media with her deeply insightful takes on dating, so sharp and relatable that even straight men are taking notes.
 
Kane will be filming her musical comedy variety show Wife Material live at The Green Room 42 in New York City on June 18. With musical direction by David Dabbon (arranger for Oh, Mary!, Cat Cohen, Las Culturistas Culture Awards, SNL 50) and direction by Andrew Mullins.
The special touches on super relatable topics about the endless, exhausting loop of modern dating. While today's society seems to enjoy and glorify pushing women back to the 1950s, Kane pulls inspiration from comedic greats like Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, and more to turn and upend her perfectly set dinner table.
 
Through original songs, sketch comedy, and unfiltered storytelling, Sydney takes you on a PG-13 (leaning R) rated journey through the most universal experience there is: falling in love. And then falling out. And then falling back in. And then regretting it. And then telling your friends you're done. And then you get over it. And then you meet someone new. And then you fall in love. Does this ever end? You'll have to see the show to find out! (It doesn't. but still see the show.)

And then falling out. And then falling back in. And then regretting it. And then telling your friends you're done. And then you get over it. And then you meet someone new. And then you fall in love. Does this ever end? You'll have to see the show to find out! (It doesn't. but still see the show.)

Adam David, a soulful 35-year-old singer, songwriter and guitarist from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was named champion of "The Voice" Season 27.

Guided by coach Michael Bublé, David faced off against a chorus of formidable competitors in the finale, including fellow Team Bublé artist Jadyn Cree, Team Legend's RENZO, Team Adam's Lucia Flores-Wiseman and Team Kelsea's Jaelen Johnston.

In his Blind Audition, David, who shared his inspirational story of battling addiction, earned the attention of Bublé with his bluesy rendition of Peter Frampton's "Baby, I Love Your Way." During the Battle Rounds, he and teammate Ricardo Moreno performed a duet of their coach's own hit song "Home."

Sailing through the Knockout Round, David transformed Allen Stone's "Unaware" with his signature smoky voice. During the playoffs, his earnest and soulful take on Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released" won his coach over and advanced him to the live semi-finals.

In the first live show, he performed "Bring It on Home to Me" by Sam Cooke, accompanied by his electric guitar. During the live results show, he didn't immediately advance to the next round and gave his all in a last-chance performance of "Lose Control" by Teddy Swims in the Instant Save. He earned America's vote for the single remaining spot in the finale and made a lasting impression that ultimately took him all the way to victory.

On Monday night's telecast, David continued to impress coaches and viewers with an up-tempo live performance of "Hard Fought Hallelujah" by Brandon Lake & Jelly Roll as well as a stirring down-tempo performance of "You Are So Beautiful" by Joe Cocker.

Before being crowned the winner during tonight's finale, David was joined on stage by coach Michael Bublé for a duet of classic "The Weight" by the Band.

David's presence on the show's social media platforms this season garnered immense popularity. His performances accumulated 7.3 million views across "The Voice" pages on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube.

David's musical journey began early with the guitar, later discovering his voice at a performing arts camp, leading him to write songs. His career has taken him from local venues to international corporate events. Along the way, David struggled with addiction but eventually sought help and ultimately found recovery. Now five years clean, he credits music as a steady anchor in his life, helping him process emotions and maintain stability. David is deeply committed to performing at rehabilitation centers each week, using his own experiences and music to inspire others in their recovery. This work has become a cornerstone of his healing, providing purpose and a way to support others through their struggles.

"The Voice" is the #1 most-watched alternative series for the sixth consecutive broadcast season. The recent fall and midseason cycles have reached 46 million viewers across platforms.

"The Voice" Season 28 premieres in September 2025. Michael Bublé will return alongside Reba McEntire, Niall Horan and Snoop Dogg. 

"The Voice" is a presentation of MGM Television, Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon, and ITV Studios The Voice USA, Inc. The series was created by John de Mol, who serves as an executive producer along with Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Amanda Zucker, Kyra Thompson, Adam H. Sher and Barry Poznick.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Newt Gingrich takes readers inside the most significant political comeback in American history and explains where the Trump movement goes from here.
Despite a nine-year effort to destroy him, President Donald J. Trump succeeded in a historic comeback victory in the 2024 presidential election. This was Trump's Triumph. Winning the popular and electoral votes, President Trump became the first president to be nonconsecutively re-elected since President Grover Cleveland. This all happened because President Trump was never a typical political candidate. He is the leader of a movement, which he recognized in the American people. To be clear: President Trump did not invent the Make America Great Again movement, he intuited it.Meanwhile, elites in media, academia, government, and politics learned a big lesson: Americans no longer trust them. President Trump assembled a massive coalition of Americans from all backgrounds who were tired of being told what to do, say, and believe. He made historic in-roads with voter groups which have not traditionally voted for Republicans. President Trump survived court cases, impeachments, outright lies - and two assassination attempts. All the while, the elites described a future which every day Americans did not want. The Joe Biden-Kamala Harris (and later Harris-Tim Walz) tickets represented three failures through which the American people were actively suffering: high inflation, a full-blown immigration crisis, and a prevailing elite ideology which they found at best confusing and at worst insane. Trump's Triumph puts all this into context, explains how President Trump overcame it all, and describes the future of the Make America Great Again movement. 

ABOUT NEWT GINGRICH 

Speaker Newt Gingrich is Chairman of Gingrich 360, a multimedia production and consulting company based in Arlington, Virginia. As former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Gingrich is well known as the architect of the "Contract with America" that led the Republican Party to victory in 1994, creating the first conservative majority in the House in 40 years.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Newt Gingrich takes readers inside the most significant political comeback in American history and explains where the Trump movement goes from here.
Despite a nine-year effort to destroy him, President Donald J. Trump succeeded in a historic comeback victory in the 2024 presidential election. This was Trump's Triumph. Winning the popular and electoral votes, President Trump became the first president to be nonconsecutively re-elected since President Grover Cleveland. This all happened because President Trump was never a typical political candidate. He is the leader of a movement, which he recognized in the American people. To be clear: President Trump did not invent the Make America Great Again movement, he intuited it.Meanwhile, elites in media, academia, government, and politics learned a big lesson: Americans no longer trust them. President Trump assembled a massive coalition of Americans from all backgrounds who were tired of being told what to do, say, and believe. He made historic in-roads with voter groups which have not traditionally voted for Republicans. President Trump survived court cases, impeachments, outright lies - and two assassination attempts. All the while, the elites described a future which every day Americans did not want. The Joe Biden-Kamala Harris (and later Harris-Tim Walz) tickets represented three failures through which the American people were actively suffering: high inflation, a full-blown immigration crisis, and a prevailing elite ideology which they found at best confusing and at worst insane. Trump's Triumph puts all this into context, explains how President Trump overcame it all, and describes the future of the Make America Great Again movement.

Recent News Summary:
Leading up to a major budget vote in Congress, the U.S. House Rules Committee held an intense 21-hour hearing packed with high-profile Democratic leaders — including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Whip Katherine Clark, and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi — pushing for amendments that included increased welfare spending without work requirements and continued funding for Planned Parenthood.

One of the central points of contention was the claim that proposed budget cuts represented the “largest cut to health care in American history.” Critics argue that equating abortion with healthcare is misleading and point to serious concerns about Planned Parenthood’s practices.
Reports — including a disturbing exposé from The New York Times — have shed light on troubling conditions in some Planned Parenthood facilities, including botched procedures, leaking sewage, and poor medical oversight. These revelations come amid ongoing scrutiny of the organization’s influence and funding, with statistics showing:

    Nearly 400,000 abortions annually performed by Planned Parenthood — about 40% of all abortions in the U.S.
    A 97% abortion rate for pregnant women who visit their clinics.
    A decline in other services: cancer screenings, pap smears, and contraception services have all dropped sharply.
    $2 million per day in taxpayer funding still flows to the organization, despite these declines.
    Meanwhile, over 5 women have reportedly died from complications related to abortions performed there.

Critics also highlight that there are over 15 times more community health centers nationwide that provide broader, life-affirming care without performing abortions — offering a more comprehensive and safer option for women in need.

House Speaker Mike Johnson vowed to push the bill through by July 4th, saying the time has come to redirect federal resources toward truly compassionate and high-quality women’s healthcare.

Two-time GRAMMY winner Gloria Gaynor has released the new single "Fida Known", an empowered reflection on a past relationship that serves as a showcase for Gaynor's showstopping voice and effortless vocal charisma. Co-written by Gaynor in Nashville alongside GRAMMY-winning songwriters Chris Stevens and Michael Pollack (Miley Cyrus, Maroon 5), "Fida Known" is Gaynor's first new solo single since the release of 2019's GRAMMY-winning LP 'Testimony', and an emphatic declaration of the power of hindsight when overcoming adversity.
 
Over pulsing handclaps and synth keyboard stabs, Gaynor opens the track by acknowledging her infatuation with a past lover: "You were drivin' me crazy / The kind of crazy that made me see stars". Her declaration of love then gives way to a wiser Gaynor, who laments her shortsightedness in an instant-classic hook: "Fida known that you never / Woulda loved me forever / I'da found someone better / Who could hold me tight." The track is a return to her recognizable disco sound after the breathtaking rootsy gospel of 'Testimony,' and the production of Matt Bronleewe immerses Gaynor's voice in a funky mid-tempo groove that's tailor made for the dance floor or driving with the top down.
 
"Fida Known" is the first taste of Gaynor's 'Happy Tears' EP, an empowering groove-filled journey that sees her working with up-and-coming songwriters Sam Tinnesz (Kygo, Fitz and the Tantrums), Caitlyn Smith (Miley Cyrus, Meghan Trainor), and Liz Rose (Taylor Swift). The EP is a continuation of Gaynor's new chapter that began with 2019's 'Testimony' and was followed by a collaboration with Kylie Minogue ("Can't Stop Writing Songs About You") in 2022. "Happy Tears" will be released on May 9th.
 
A biopic of Gaynor's life and career titled Robin Roberts Presents - I Will Survive: The Gloria Gaynor Story aired February 8th on Lifetime. Produced by Robin Roberts, the film depicts Gaynor's rise to fame from her humble beginnings to becoming one of the most iconic voices in music history.
 
While the Robin Roberts produced biopic focuses on Gloria's early life and career, ending with Gaynor divorcing her husband and reclaiming control of her creative passions; the full length documentary that aired directly after the biopic on February 8th picked up where the biopic leaves off. In the documentary film, we follow Gloria as she realizes her longtime dream of releasing a gospel album.
Gloria Gaynor: I Will Survive is a journey of faith, hope and a magnificent second act. The film premiered in 2023 at the Tribeca Film Festival to critical acclaim. It tells the inspirational story of Gloria's recovery from personal and professional struggles to rebuild her life and record the GRAMMY-winning gospel album 'TESTIMONY'. The film - directed by Betsy Schecter - was praised by Billboard as "sublime", while Variety noted it "proves the disco legend still has life to live".

From caregiving for a child with Primordial Dwarfism, to losing her husband to stage-four cancer, to surviving a decade of emotional and financial abuse—Julie opens up about resilience, motherhood, grief, and finding the courage to walk away without shame. She shares the quiet wisdom behind her healing, the red flags she now teaches others to spot, and how she turned unimaginable hardship into a lifeline for other women in crisis. 

Whether you're walking through your own storm or supporting someone who is, this episode is a reminder that survival isn't the end of the story—it's the beginning of something new.

JULIE BARTH is a mother of six and trauma survivor whose mission is to transform personal hardship into inspiration and advocacy. Her journey began when her second daughter, Tayt, was born with Primordial Dwarfism, leading to years of surgeries and medical challenges. Shortly after her young husband Colin’s diagnosis and passing from stage-four pancreatic cancer, Julie faced further adversity, including Tayt’s rare cancer and a decade of emotional and financial abuse in her second marriage.   Julie is also the CEO and founder of the Colin James Barth Outreach, a nonprofit dedicated to helping women-led households with the resources and aid necessary to find security and stability in times of crisis. Her mission is to use her experiences as caregiver, special needs parent, emotional abuse victim, and trauma survivor to encourage women in similar situations to think resourcefully and always protect themselves without stigma or feelings of selfishness. The Colin James Barth Outreach is supported by The Gabby Petito Foundation.

After graduating cum laude with a degree in Business Finance, Paul and his wife Joan took a leap of faith in 2002, purchasing a homecare agency franchise with limited experience but boundless determination. Over the next 23 years, they built an organization that has served thousands of seniors and employed thousands of team members, becoming role models within their industry. Paul attributes much of their success to developing the right mindset and applying powerful goal-setting techniques.

Paul's personal transformation accelerated after immersing himself in Bob Proctor's mentorship program, where he discovered life-changing principles about internal power, building your own economy, and reaching for unlimited success. The application of these mindset techniques not only revolutionized Paul's outlook but also led to significant business expansion when implemented within his homecare agency.

Today, through Premiere Destiny LLC, Paul empowers others to discover the greatness within themselves. He specializes in helping entrepreneurs and professionals set meaningful goals, overcome limiting beliefs, and develop the success mindset required to achieve extraordinary results. Paul firmly believes that each person has a stronger, more successful version of themselves waiting to emerge – they simply need the right mindset tools and guidance to unlock their potential.

Paul's engaging speaking style, combined with actionable frameworks for mindset transformation and goal achievement, makes him an ideal guest for podcasts focusing on entrepreneurship, personal development, and success strategies. His authentic approach connects deeply with audiences seeking both inspiration and practical tools for meaningful change.

Little Luvvie is ready for her first day at a new school!

But immediately things do not go well. First, a kid in class makes fun of her name. How dare he! But Luvvie’s instant response gets her scolded. Then she forgets her lunch.

The follow-up to Kristin Casey's widely acclaimed memoir Rock Monster: My Life with Joe Walsh Casey Dancer is the true story of a thirty-nine-year-old part-time stripper, full-time real estate agent, and struggling writer navigating the chaos of love and ambition. Fresh from a tumultuous breakup and newly sober, Kristin finds herself struggling to re-enter the dating scene. When she falls for Lalo, a charming but troubled ex-coke dealer, their steamy affair leads to deep emotional conflict, testing her boundaries and stirring memories of past relationships. Through the highs of passion, the lows of financial strain, and the harsh realities of erotic labor, Kristin fights to reclaim her sense of self. Bold, raw, and unapologetically honest, Casey Dancer is a story of resilience, vulnerability, and self-discovery.   "In Casey Dancer, Kristin Casey invites readers into an unfiltered exploration of her journey through the complexities of sex, dating, and intimacy, transcending the superficial allure of romantic entanglements to uncover the raw truths that lie beneath. This candid memoir serves as a fearless examination of the often-unspoken realities of modern relationships, revealing not only the euphoric highs of passionate encounters but also the deep vulnerabilities that arise when one dares to be truly seen by another. With an honesty that is both refreshing and disarming, Kristin confronts her own choices and experiences with genuine curiosity, challenging societal norms and expectations along the way. Throughout the memoir, she thoughtfully references her first book, Rock Monster, which chronicled her whirlwind relationship with rock legend Joe Walsh. These poignant callbacks serve as effective reminders of where she's been and how those experiences have shaped her understanding of love and self. Through her journeys, both physical and emotional, Kristin pushes boundaries in ways that are not only refreshing but also deeply relatable. She invites readers to join her on a path of self-acceptance, exploring the intersections of sexuality, identity, and the relentless passage of time. Casey Dancer dares to ask the difficult questions, embracing the messy, beautiful, and sometimes painful realities of being human. It is a celebration of resilience, a testament to the strength found in vulnerability, and an invitation for readers to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery."    -Chris Epting, memoirist and author of forty-five books including Where One Hears the Rain

From an eminent legal scholar and the president of the ACLU, an essential account of how transportation infrastructure-from highways and roads to sidewalks and buses-became a means of protecting segregation and inequality after the fall of Jim Crow.
Our nation's transportation system is crumbling: highways are collapsing, roads are pockmarked, and commuter trains are unreliable. But as acclaimed scholar and ACLU president Deborah Archer warns in Dividing Lines, before we can think about rebuilding and repairing, we must consider the role race has played in transportation infrastructure, from the early twentieth century and into the present day.
As Archer demonstrates, the success of the Civil Rights movement and the fall of Jim Crow in the 1960s did not mean the end of segregation. The status quo would not be so easily dismantled. With state-sanctioned racism no longer legal, officials across the country-not just in the South-turned to transportation infrastructure to keep Americans divided. A wealthy white neighborhood could no longer be "protected" by racial covenants and segregated shops, but a multilane road, with no pedestrian crossings, could be built along its border to make it difficult for people from a lower-income community to visit. Highways could not be routed through Black neighborhoods based on the race of their residents, but those neighborhoods' lower property values-a legacy of racial exclusion-could justify their destruction. A new suburb could not be for "whites only," but planners could refuse to extend sidewalks from Black communities into white ones.
 
Drawing on a wealth of sources, including interviews with people who now live in the shadow of highways and other major infrastructure projects, Archer presents a sweeping, national account-from Atlanta and Houston to Indianapolis and New York City-of our persistent divisions. With immense authority, she examines the limits of current Civil Rights laws, which can be used against overtly racist officials but are less effective in addressing deeper, more enduring, structural challenges. But Archer remains hopeful, and in the final count describes what a just system would look like and how we can achieve it.

From an eminent legal scholar and the president of the ACLU, an essential account of how transportation infrastructure-from highways and roads to sidewalks and buses-became a means of protecting segregation and inequality after the fall of Jim Crow.
Our nation's transportation system is crumbling: highways are collapsing, roads are pockmarked, and commuter trains are unreliable. But as acclaimed scholar and ACLU president Deborah Archer warns in Dividing Lines, before we can think about rebuilding and repairing, we must consider the role race has played in transportation infrastructure, from the early twentieth century and into the present day.

• Why our “bad habits” aren’t moral failures but outdated survival programs.
• The pivotal moment that pushed him from profit to purpose.
• Simple, science‑backed techniques to rewrite limiting beliefs and ignite self‑love.
• The hidden root of most relationship conflicts (hint: it starts long before the first date).
• A step‑by‑step blueprint listeners can use today to break free from anxiety, self‑doubt, and burnout.

If you’re an entrepreneur, parent, or anyone tired of hustling for worthiness, this conversation will flip the script on success—and hand you the tools to code a life you actually love. Tune in, take notes, and get ready to hit “refresh” on your mindset.

Brad Chandler is a serial entrepreneur turned transformational coach who proves that true success isn’t measured only by net worth but by inner freedom. After flipping more than 4,500 homes and building a real‑estate engine that runs without him, Brad hit an unexpected wall: two failed marriages, $9 million in business blunders, and a dependence on alcohol and marijuana—all traced back to buried childhood trauma and a crippling belief that he wasn’t worthy. Determined to break the cycle, Brad dove into meditation, neural reprogramming, and radical self‑love. The result? A total life reboot that healed his family, reignited his purpose, and inspired a repeatable framework for lasting change. Today Brad helps entrepreneurs, parents, and high‑achievers rewrite subconscious “untruths,” dismantle self‑sabotage, and build relationships—and businesses—rooted in genuine freedom. His mission is simple: show people they’re not broken; they’re just running old code that’s ready for an upgrade.

You asked, and she delivered-this is Poppy Cooks' all-potato cookbook. Whether you like them fried, baked, mashed, or roasted, TikTok's High Priestess of the Potato gives you the ultimate potato book. The spud-the humblest of ingredients-can be made into more than just mashed potatoes (but if it is mash, make it the best mashed potatoes ever), and in this book Poppy O'Toole celebrates the range and variety from just this one mighty ingredient. In these pages, Poppy gives you all the tools you need to achieve the perfect potatoes every time-whether it's a trusted roasted potato, a melt-in-the-mouth fondant, moreish fries and wedges or the perfect bake. Poppy includes all the most-loved potato dishes alongside mouth-watering international classics (think latkes, dauphinoise and patatas bravas), and even some old-school favourites (hello, potato smiles), not to mention a whole chapter dedicated to her sensational 15-hour potatoes. Across 101 recipes, Poppy shares her top tips and tricks for cooking with different methods and flavours to give you THE book you need to raise your spud game and cook like the Potato Queen herself. 

ABOUT POPPY O'TOOLE 
Michelin-trained internet sensation Poppy O'Toole created her social media profile, Poppy Cooks, after losing her kitchen job during the pandemic. Known for creating easy-to-follow recipe tutorials, Poppy currently has over 4M followers on TikTok. Following almost a decade in professional kitchens, Poppy launched her debut cookbook The Food You Need in 2021, which received praise from the likes of Nigella Lawson, Rukmini Iyer and the Daily Mail - who called her the "millennials answer to Delia Smith". In January 2022, Poppy was announced as a judge on the new series of Young MasterChef. She was also a judge on E4's Celebrity Cooking School, alongside Giorgio Locatelli.

With over half a million followers online and her debut stand-up special Thirty, Flirty & Crying still cracking people up on YouTube, Shannon joins us to talk about the comedy behind the chaos of real life.

ABOUT SHANNON FIEDLER  

After announcing her pregnancy via her iconic social media personalities, the "city girls", comedian Shannon Fiedler is heading back out on the road for her Pregnancy Brain tour, kicking off January 25 in Minneapolis, and hitting Denver, Portland, Seattle, Beverly, San Francisco, San Diego, before wrapping things up in NYC in April. Fans can expect a night of laughs delivered with the social media star's trademark wit, enthusiasm, and spot-on understanding of what makes millennials laugh out loud.

Fiedler recently debuted her first stand-up special, Thirty, Flirty, & Crying, September 25, via YouTube. The dynamic hour of humor was produced by Hoff Studios, along with a female run production directed by Laura Lucchetti and Executive Produced by Jayme Yarow. Thirty, Flirty & Crying is a smart and sometimes silly exploration of what it means to be a woman who's recently turned that number after 29. With riffs on such universal topics as the horrors of dating, the pressures of ordering the right wine, and the inherent dangers of using public restrooms, Shannon strikes multiple chords with both male and female fans alike. The overarching theme of, "I'm too young to be this old," informs the hour, as Shannon shares glimpses of the path that has led her to being the very funny, and utterly likable woman she is still in the process of becoming. 

Shannon Fiedler is a New York based comedian, writer and content creator who has amassed over 500k followers on social media. Known for her relatable - albeit exaggerated - characters, Shannon distills ordinary situations to their most entertaining essence. In addition to touring the country performing, Shannon was named a Comic To Watch in the 2023 NY Comedy Festival, and her work has been featured on various media platforms, including BuzzFeed, Barstool Sports, Overheard New York, Betches, and Gratzia.

We dive deep into her personal journey from entrepreneur and mother to political firestarter, and she gives us a raw, honest look at the cost of fighting for change in a divided nation. If you’ve ever wondered how real change gets made—or how to keep pushing forward when the system pushes back—this episode is for you.

Congresswoman Marie Newman is a trailblazing former U.S. Representative, nonprofit CEO, marketing executive, author, and nationally recognized advocate for equity and justice. She is the author of When Your Child Is Being Bullied: Real Solutions and the forthcoming memoir A Life Made From Scratch (March 2025), which chronicles her journey from mompreneur and activist to Congress and beyond.

Known for building movements and tackling the nation’s toughest problems, Newman has been a fierce advocate for healthcare reform, anti-bullying policy, LGBTQ+ rights, gun safety, reproductive freedom, and economic equity. A former spokesperson for Moms Demand Action and a nationally recognized LGBTQ+ ally, she has dedicated her career to ensuring marginalized voices are heard—and centered—in policymaking.

Marie has been featured on MSNBC, CNN, FOX, NBC, ABC, CBS, and PBS, and her work has been spotlighted by The New York Times, Washington Post, Elle, Teen Vogue, Ms. Magazine, The New Yorker, Chicago Tribune, and many more. Her op-eds and public speeches have sparked conversations across the political spectrum, from Capitol Hill to kitchen tables.

She currently lives in LaGrange, Illinois, with her husband and beagle, Iggy. Marie is a proud mom of two adult children, an active consultant, and a podcaster. Her debut novel—a work of political fiction—is due out in 2026, and she will launch her new podcast in 2025.

Her personal motto? “When you don’t see the solution you desperately need—make it from scratch.”

Steve Williams, arguably the greatest caddie in golf history, teams up with renowned golf journalist Evin Priest to give his definitive account of his 12-year partnership with the legendary Tiger Woods, sharing personal, never-before-told moments of their friendship on and off the course. When Tiger Woods went on an extraordinary majors run between 1999 and 2008, one man stood at his side: his caddie Steve Williams. Together Steve and Tiger dominated the PGA Tour and won an astonishing 13 major championships, their sights set on breaking Jack Nicklaus's record 18 majors. Before they could overtake Nicklaus, however, their partnership ended abruptly, and a 12-year period without talking began. Years later, the two reconnected. Steve, with PGA Tour journalist Evin Priest, reflects fondly on his years as Tiger's caddie and their relentless pursuit of greatness. He revisits all their best moments, from Tiger's iconic shot on the 16th hole at the 2005 Masters to the famed Tiger Slam of 2000 and 2001, to his against-the-odds victory on a broken leg at the 2008 US Open. Steve goes behind the scenes of their on-course success and shows their friendship off the course, like Tiger caddying for Steve on his wedding day and Tiger giving a heartfelt best man speech. Steve also shares fascinating, never-before-seen photos and ephemera. Together We Roared offers an inside look at what it is like to ride alongside greatness and is a heartfelt ode to the friendship that produced one of the winningest duos in golf history. 

ABOUT STEVE WILLIAMS 

Steve Williams is widely regarded as one of the greatest caddies in golf history. Originally from New Zealand, he has carried the clubs for Peter Thomson, Greg Norman, Ian Baker-Finch, Ray Floyd, Adam Scott, and Tiger Woods. During his time with Woods, the golfer won more than 80 tournaments worldwide, including 13 major championships.

Steve Williams, arguably the greatest caddie in golf history, teams up with renowned golf journalist Evin Priest to give his definitive account of his 12-year partnership with the legendary Tiger Woods, sharing personal, never-before-told moments of their friendship on and off the course.

Throughout his journey, Thomas endured the weight of judgment from those who should have been his greatest supporters. Yet, while others saw his diagnosis as a flaw, he found hope and purpose in storytelling. The power of narratives inspired him to speak, to share, and to recognize his own worth.

As he grew, Thomas turned his passion into a mission. He began sharing his stories with confidence, helping others find their voices along the way. Through his work as an advocate, teacher, and mentor, he created spaces where people could embrace their own narratives. His dedication led him to roles within agencies that valued his expertise, allowing him to break free from past traumas and ignite a fire of inspiration in those around him. As a mentor, he helped young people develop a love for reading and supported individuals on their paths to independence. His journey also led him to become a peer specialist, further solidifying his role as a guiding force for others.

Now, Thomas is embarking on a new chapter, bringing his passion for storytelling into the world of Dungeons & Dragons. Leveraging his experience as a group facilitator, educator, and mentor, he is using the power of immersive storytelling to foster community, connection, and personal growth. By designing meaningful experiences, he is helping others navigate their own journeys, redefining pathways that accommodate diverse needs.

Thomas Wilson continues to build bridges—creating spaces where all voices are heard and valued. With over 30 years of experience, he is dedicated to uniting communities through the art of storytelling, always leading with intention, compassion, and an unwavering belief in the transformative power of shared narratives.

S he is best known in New York for being the deputy editor of the New York Post's gossip column, Page Six, where she worked for ten years until June, 2009.
  
  As Disney deals with the backlash against its live-action version of "Snow White" that has been deemed "woke," there's another problem behind the scenes.
  There's massive tension between the movie's two co-stars, the liberal Palestinian supporter Rachel Zegler and Israeli queen Gal Gadot. Gadot - who was devastated by the Israeli attacks on Oct. 7, 2023 - is said to be furious with her co-star for publicly supporting Gaza. Last August, Zegler posted on X: "Free Palestine!" - the first of several similar posts on the outlet - and said in interviews: "I can't watch children die. I don't think that should be a hot take. We're nearing one year since the horrendous attacks in Israel on Oct. 7, but I've been following this conflict for so many years. Like so many people, I'm so heartbroken by the loss of life that we're seeing with these insane death tolls coming out of both regions."
  For her part, Gadot has held several screenings of the film "October 8" and footage of the October 7 massacre at her home in Los Angeles for power players and recently appeared at the Anti-Defamation League's "Never Is Now" rally, where she said: "Never did I imagine that on the streets of the United States, and different cities around the world, we would see people not condemning Hamas, but celebrating, justifying and cheering on a massacre of Jews. This is a time when many of us in the Jewish community have had to find our voice and confront the hatred against us, even if it's extremely uncomfortable. That's been the case for all of us in every walk of life, in every profession, including my own."
  And it's got to be really uncomfortable for Gadot to promote the movie alongside Zegler.
  The two have kept their distance - neither appear in each other's Instagram feeds (although they both follow each other for the moment) - and, despite the duo presenting at the Oscars together, they will keep interaction at the March 15 premiere of "Snow White" at LA's El Capitan Theater to a minimum.
  Even before her X posts, Zegler put herself in an awkward position after being awarded the role by criticizing the beloved original. As she told "Extra" in 2022, the animated film was "extremely dated when it comes to the ideas of women being in roles of power and what a woman's fit for in the world.The original cartoon came out in 1937, and very evidently so. There's a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird. So we didn't do that this time. We have a different approach to what I'm sure a lot of people will assume is a love story just because we cast a guy in the movie."
  Other comments Zegler has made that offended Disney fans and conservatives include:
  Skewering people who were upset by her casting and calling them "losers obsessed with maintaining the bloodline purity of cartoon princesses."
  Zegler claimed her version of "Snow White" is "really not about the love story at all," a change she deems "wonderful." Instead, it's about Snow White's "inner journey" to "find her true self."
  After Donald Trump's reelection, Zegler posted in part on Instagram: "May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace." She apologized for her remarks two days later.
  And now "Snow White," which cost Disney over $260 million to make, is set to premiere March 21st. But thanks to the controversies Zegler and the directors of the film created, the decision was made to scale back the premiere, and coverage will be limited to photographers and a house crew.

  Thank you for your time. ]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/64995581Thu, 20 Mar 2025 14:40:59 +0000I Am Refocused RadioPaula Froelich is a Senior Story Producer and On-Air Contributor for NewsNation. She began in January of 2022. She's a New York Times bestselling author and an award-winning journalist with over two decades of experience in writing, reporting, and...New York Times bestselling author and an award-winning journalist with over two decades of experience in writing, reporting, and leading start ups. S he is best known in New York for being the deputy editor of the New York Post's gossip column, Page Six, where she worked for ten years until June, 2009.
  
  As Disney deals with the backlash against its live-action version of "Snow White" that has been deemed "woke," there's another problem behind the scenes.
  There's massive tension between the movie's two co-stars, the liberal Palestinian supporter Rachel Zegler and Israeli queen Gal Gadot. Gadot - who was devastated by the Israeli attacks on Oct. 7, 2023 - is said to be furious with her co-star for publicly supporting Gaza. Last August, Zegler posted on X: "Free Palestine!" - the first of several similar posts on the outlet - and said in interviews: "I can't watch children die. I don't think that should be a hot take. We're nearing one year since the horrendous attacks in Israel on Oct. 7, but I've been following this conflict for so many years. Like so many people, I'm so heartbroken by the loss of life that we're seeing with these insane death tolls coming out of both regions."
  For her part, Gadot has held several screenings of the film "October 8" and footage of the October 7 massacre at her home in Los Angeles for power players and recently appeared at the Anti-Defamation League's "Never Is Now" rally, where she said: "Never did I imagine that on the streets of the United States, and different cities around the world, we would see people not condemning Hamas, but celebrating, justifying and cheering on a massacre of Jews. This is a time when many of us in the Jewish community have had to find our voice and confront the hatred against us, even if it's extremely uncomfortable. That's been the case for all of us in every walk of life, in every profession, including my own."
  And it's got to be really uncomfortable for Gadot to promote the movie alongside Zegler.
  The two have kept their distance - neither appear in each other's Instagram feeds (although they both follow each other for the moment) - and, despite the duo presenting at the Oscars together, they will keep interaction at the March 15 premiere of "Snow White" at LA's El Capitan Theater to a minimum.
  Even before her X posts, Zegler put herself in an awkward position after being awarded the role by criticizing the beloved original. As she told "Extra" in 2022, the animated film was "extremely dated when it comes to the ideas of women being in roles of power and what a woman's fit for in the world.The original cartoon came out in 1937, and very evidently so. There's a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird. So we didn't do that this time. We have a different approach to what I'm sure a lot of people will assume is a love story just because we cast a guy in the movie."
  Other comments Zegler has made that offended Disney fans and conservatives include:
  Skewering people who were upset by her casting and calling them "losers obsessed with maintaining the bloodline purity of cartoon princesses."
  Zegler claimed her version of "Snow White" is "really not about the love story at all," a change she deems "wonderful." Instead, it's about Snow White's "inner journey" to "find her true self."
  After Donald Trump's reelection, Zegler posted in part on Instagram: "May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace." She apologized for her remarks two days later.

  The Journey to Self-Discovery and Inner Peace
  
  Our conversation began with Mónica reflecting on her spiritual journey. With over 16 years of experience guiding individuals toward inner peace, Mónica shared the pivotal moments that led her to dedicate her life to studying human consciousness. She explained that her time in India and Nepal, where she studied under Tibetan lamas, including the Dalai Lama, deeply shaped her understanding of spirituality and the mind.
  
  Mónica’s work bridges the gap between traditional Eastern spiritual practices and the modern Western mindset. As she shared, many people in the West struggle to connect with Eastern philosophies due to a disconnect between these practices and the fast-paced, goal-oriented environment we live in today. But as Mónica explained, this gap can be bridged through understanding and adapting the wisdom of the East in a way that speaks directly to the needs and challenges of Western society.
  
  The 7 Levels of Wisdom: A Path to Transformation
  
  One of the highlights of the interview was our deep dive into Mónica’s book, The 7 Levels of Wisdom. In this work, Mónica lays out a structured path of personal transformation—one that’s accessible to anyone, no matter their life circumstances or responsibilities. Through seven progressive levels of human consciousness, the book helps readers identify where they are on their spiritual journey and provides practical guidance on how to move forward toward higher levels of awareness and enlightenment.
  
  The book’s unique approach is that it doesn’t require drastic lifestyle changes or a radical shift in day-to-day life. Instead, it encourages integrating spiritual practices like mindfulness into our existing routines, helping readers to cultivate inner peace and wisdom in the midst of busy lives.
  
  Spiritual Growth in the Modern World
  
  As the interview progressed, we discussed some of the key principles from Mónica’s teachings, particularly her focus on mindfulness and emotional mastery. She emphasized that it’s not about escaping from life’s challenges but about developing the tools to navigate them with clarity, calm, and wisdom. Emotional mastery, she explained, is the foundation for true success—whether in business, relationships, or personal well-being.
  
  For those new to the idea of spiritual growth or unsure of where to start, Mónica recommended beginning with small, consistent practices like mindfulness meditation, which can lead to profound changes over time. She also shared that by simply becoming more aware of our thoughts and emotions, we can begin to shift our consciousness and align with a higher state of awareness.
  
  A Vision for a More Conscious Future
  
  Throughout our conversation, Mónica emphasized that the journey to higher consciousness is not just for personal benefit—it’s for the collective good. As we become more connected to our inner wisdom, we can also contribute to a more compassionate, conscious world. Mónica’s mission is to help people see that transformation is possible for everyone, regardless of their starting point, and that wisdom and peace are within reach.
  
  Her work, both as an author and a teacher, aims to inspire people to strive for the highest levels of human consciousness. The 7 Levels of Wisdom is not just a book—it’s a guide to living a life that’s more fulfilling, more meaningful, and more aligned with our true essence.
  
  Final Thoughts
  
  Mónica’s message is clear: personal transformation is not only possible, but it’s something we can all achieve. By integrating mindfulness, self-awareness, and emotional mastery into our daily lives, we can all reach higher levels of wisdom and live more consciously. The journey might not be easy, but it’s certainly worth it.

Don’t miss this inspiring conversation that exemplifies the strength of the human spirit and the redeeming power of God's love.
  
  Lauren Burns' story is one of incredible resilience and divine intervention. At just seven years old, Lauren was kidnapped by her Jordanian father and taken to Jordan. Her mother, determined to bring her home, enlisted the help of ex-military personnel and, through a series of miraculous events and the power of prayer, was able to help Lauren escape across a military-secured border into Israel.Her traumatic experience, filled with fear and uncertainty, ultimately led to a path of healing and redemption. Today, Lauren is a powerful voice for resilience, forgiveness, and the goodness of God.

  Marking 30 years since the opening statements of what came to be dubbed "The Trial of the Century," Court TV announced today the launch of a seven-part original limited series, "Trial & Error: Why Did O.J. Win?". The series takes a deep dive into the infamous double murder trial of O.J. Simpson; a case that was captured by Court TV cameras and helped ignite the nation's ongoing obsession with true crime.
   
  Court TV will debut new episodes of "Trial & Error: Why Did O.J. Win?" on Sunday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT starting Feb. 16th
   
  Utilizing Court TV's extensive library, "Trial & Error: Why Did O.J. Win?" will explore what went right for the defense, what went wrong for the prosecution and the perfect storm of legal strategies and surprises that led to one of the most controversial verdicts in history. The series highlights myriad vantage points from numerous trial participants, including attorneys, legal experts, Los Angeles police detectives and friends and relatives on both sides of the courtroom. Interviewees include Simpson defense attorneys F. Lee Bailey and Alan Dershowitz, LAPD Detective Mark Fuhrman, LA County and Simpson case Prosecutor Bill Hodgman, Lon Cryer (juror #6), victim Nicole Brown Simpson's sister Tanya Brown and the father and sister of victim Ron Goldman, Fred Goldman and Kim Goldman.
   
  "Trial & Error: Why Did O.J. Win?" is hosted by Michael Ayala, an attorney, Court TV anchor and Emmy-award winning true crime journalist. Court TV's Ted Rowlands serves as executive producer. Both Ayala and Rowlands covered the O.J. trial as reporters.
  "Thirty years have gone by, and the O.J. Simpson trial - which Court TV documented as it unfolded - is still one of the nation's most consequential cultural touchstones," said Ethan Nelson, head of Court TV. "Through first-person interviews with people directly involved with the case, this series takes a provocative look into how the feverishly anticipated and deeply divisive jury verdict came to pass."
   
  Check out the trailer:

  "Trial & Error: Why Did O.J. Win?" episodes with premiere dates:
   
  Feb. 16 - Murders in Brentwood
  A football star turned Hollywood actor is charged with the brutal murders of his ex-wife and her friend. The O.J. Simpson case enthralled the globe and became the "Trial of the Century". Thirty years later, the detectives, attorneys and families involved share their stories and why they believe the verdict remains divisive.
   
  Feb. 23 - The "Racist" Cop
  LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman tells his side of the story after becoming a household name when the defense accused him of planting a bloody glove and labeled him a racist. O.J. Simpson walked away a free man while Fuhrman's life fell into shambles.
   
  March 2 - Domestic Violence
  O.J. Simpson's history of domestic violence was a focal point for the prosecution. The defense claimed it didn't prove he was a murderer. Nicole Brown's sister details the abuse within their relationship.
   
  March 9 - Racial Tension
  The defense used the racial tension in Los Angeles to their benefit during the O.J. Simpson murder trial. The goal: convince jurors that the LAPD could not be trusted and were capable of planting evidence.
   
  March 16 - Attack the Timeline Did O.J. Simpson have enough time to murder Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman? The defense dissected the timeline to raise reasonable doubt. Detective Tom Lange and prosecutor Bill Hodgman explain their window of opportunity.
   
  March 23 - The Bloody Gloves It's the most infamous moment of the trial, when the prosecution forced O.J. to put on the bloody glove in court. Did this and "shoddy" police work lose them the case? Defense attorney F. Lee Bailey takes us inside the pivotal courtroom moment and how O.J.'s "Dream Team" attacked the flawed investigation.
   
  March 30 - Inside the Jury Room The world watched as the verdict in the "Trial of the Century" came down. The Goldmans share their reaction and Juror #6, Lon Cryer, describes what happened behind closed doors. Was justice served or did O.J. Simpson get away with murder?
   
  The double murder trial of Simpson - the college football phenom (Heisman Trophy recipient in 1968) who went on to become an NFL Hall of Famer and popular movie and television personality - riveted the nation during its nearly 10 full months in 1995. In addition to numerous dramatic courtroom moments, the trial was most notable for its strong racial overtones, its impact on the judiciary system and how it spurred Americans across the nation to openly discuss the issues surrounding domestic violence for the first time.
   
  The in-depth look at the O.J. trial 30 years later will complement a number of major cases that Court TV is closely covering in real-time, including the upcoming Arizona murder trial of "Cult Mom" Lori Vallow who is representing herself in court, the retrial of Karen Read in the killing of her boyfriend, and the trial of Bryan Kohberger, who stands accused of murdering four University of Idaho college students.
   
  MICHAEL AYALA BIO
   
  Michael Ayala, an attorney and EMMY®-Award winner, has returned to Court TV. Ayala has over 20 years of experience in-front of the camera. He previously was an anchor, reporter, writer and researcher for the original Court TV where he covered and reported on the cases involving O.J. Simpson, Scott Peterson, the Menendez Brothers, Bill Cosby and Dr. Jack Kevorkian. Michael later anchored for CBS in Chicago and has operated his own media company for the past several years.

  Emmy Award-winning broadcaster Chris Myers reflects on his illustrious career as one of the most trusted and renowned journalists in sports. Myers has witnessed and participated in his fair share of historic events: on the field when the earthquake struck the 1989 World Series; on the air throughout the tragic aftermath of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics bombing; on the sidelines during the Patriots' stunning comeback at Super Bowl LI; and a contentious live interview with the notorious OJ Simpson. Now Myers offers an inside look at all these moments and more, revealing the joys and pressures of working with the world's most famous athletes and sharing the experiences and interactions that never made it on screen. He takes readers behind the scenes with the biggest names in sports, including Mike Tyson, Muhammed Ali, Tom Brady, John Wooden, Bill Belichick, Charles Barkley, Barry Bonds, Serena Williams, Jack Nicklaus, Pete Sampras, and even Bill Murray. Through it all, Chris captures a community that is bigger than sports, one that has banded together through triumph and tragedy, providing lessons about excellence, compassion, and connection.

  David Roberts was Whitney Houston's bodyguard, the real one.
   
  Roberts was hired in 1988 for Houston's UK portion of the Moment of Truth world tour. Accustomed to working for diplomats and Fortune 500 clients, Roberts had reservations about working with a pop star. But Houston's heart of gold won him over from the moment they met at Heathrow airport.
   
  There's a high bar for those who work in this business: you must be willing to die for your boss. Houston made that easy. Roberts got to travel the globe with one of the most fun-loving and generous souls he'd ever met. His memoir reveals heartwarming anecdotes of life with one of the world's most recognizable stars, including privately shared moments such as the birth of Bobbi Kristina.
   
  But there are also shocking and heartbreaking revelations. Roberts was present for some of Houston's most challenging ordeals. And he was helpless as he watched those who claimed to love and support her look the other way because they saw her voice box as a cash machine.
   
  His heart was ultimately shattered as he witnessed her succumb to the one threat he could not protect her from: herself.
   
  ABOUT DAVID ROBERTS
   
  David Roberts served in the Royal Air Force Police, became a police-trained sniper, and served as a sergeant on the Royalty and Diplomatic Protection Department of the Metropolitan Police at New Scotland Yard. He was a professional bodyguard for twenty-five years. Roberts continues his work as a management consultant in security and investigations and remains active in the field of risk management and loss prevention. He lives in Florida.

  Matt Taylor’s journey with strength training began just before his 13th birthday when he decided to pick up a barbell to transform his 99-lb frame. What started as a personal challenge quickly turned into a passion for powerlifting—a sport that not only allowed him to get stronger but also gave him a newfound sense of confidence. For the first time, Matt found himself excelling in a sport, which sparked a deeper sense of purpose.A few years into his powerlifting journey, Matt set a national squat record and, in 2014, claimed victory in his division at powerlifting worlds. The shift from feeling “invisible” to being recognized for his achievements gave him a perspective that would later define his career.In 2022, Matt faced a life-altering diagnosis of an autoimmune condition that forced him to let go of his dream of squatting 500 lbs and deadlifting 600 lbs. Reflecting on his earlier training, he realized that his approach sometimes relied too heavily on the idea that "time was on his side." This realization fueled his passion for coaching, as he committed himself to helping others avoid the mistakes he made in his lifting journey.Since 2014, Matt has coached over 4,000 lifters, focusing on those who want to channel their inner athlete while balancing their gym time with family, work, and other responsibilities. His unique coaching approach helps athletes achieve personal records at their first powerlifting meets while spending less than five hours a week in the gym.Beyond coaching, Matt offers valuable insights to help people rediscover their passion for lifting and set meaningful goals. He also shares his knowledge with a community group of over 4,000 members and through his Instagram, providing inspiration and guidance to lifters around the world.

At just 19, Millin has already captivated fans worldwide, drawing from a deep love of Japanese culture and years of language study. Her dedication to her craft is complemented by a personal journey that has helped shape her music. Living with bipolar disorder, Millin embraces her challenges as a source of inspiration, infusing her work with themes of empowerment, self-discovery, and authenticity.
  Since her debut in 2022, Olivia Millin has carved a niche in the music world by blending Japanese and American influences. A Japanese Liberal Arts major at a prestigious northeastern university, Millin writes and records original music while balancing a rigorous academic schedule. Songs from her forthcoming album, “Start Again,” have received widespread acclaim for their emotional depth, resonating with fans across the globe.
  Her musical journey began at age 12 when she wrote and released her first single. Since then, Millin has completed the aforementioned “Start Again” album. Her recent music video, “Be With Me,” solidified her position as a rising star, earning her spots on “Top 10 New Artists” lists.
  Millin’s passion for music extends to her early theater roots, where she performed in leading roles at venues like Players Theatre and Venice Theatre, earning the “Broadway Star of the Future” title under the prestigious Jimmy Awards. Her innate musicality and perfect pitch led her to establish a youth choir at St. Barbara’s Orthodox Church, where she harmonized effortlessly and mentored young voices.

  Discover the Secrets to Getting Published. Writing a book? In the beginning stages of writing a book, most people start with a blank page and write their entire manuscript. According to author and acquisitions editor W. Terry Whalin, this approach is backwards. About 80% to 90% of nonfiction books are sold from a book proposal. This mysterious document called a proposal contains many elements that will never appear in a manuscript—yet these details are critical to publishing executives who make the decision about publishing or rejecting an author’s project. In Book Proposals That Sell, Terry reveals 21 secrets to creating a book proposal that every author needs in order to create one that sells.
  
  Terry Whalin is an editor and author of more than 60 books and has written for more than 50 magazines. Several of Terry’s books have sold over 100,000 copies.  Terry and his wife live in Southern California.

  From the moment Titus O'Neil laid eyes on his first son nearly 20 years ago, he has considered fatherhood his greatest accolade. Neither his decorated college football career, nor a WWE Tag Team Championship, nor his staggering achievements in community service could compare. Having grown up fatherless, O'Neil strived to raise his children in not just his own image but into something greater.   Learning on the fly how to raise two young boys, and later adopting a teenage daughter, O'Neil soon realized that he, like any parent, is far from perfect. Now, as his three children - Titus, T.J., and Leah - become thriving adults, O'Neil shares the details of his humbling successes and failures in parenting so that others may learn from his experiences.   Wrestling with Fatherhood tackles important issues in relatable terms and is loaded with stories and guidance for fathers from all walks of life. No matter the topic, from encouraging emotional intelligence to handling difficult conversations to simply expressing love and affection, you will find anecdotes and advice to enrich the lives of your children and your family's journey together.  
  
  WWE BIO  
  
  With a giant heart to match his titanic frame, Titus O'Neil is among the most compassionate and hard-working Superstars in all of WWE.   A former WWE Tag Team Champion and the first-ever 24/7 Champion, O'Neil has flattened many a WWE Superstar since emerging in NXT in 2010, and he brings that same determination to his many charity commitments outside the ring. His passion for community and uplifting others inspired him to write his first book, "There's No Such Thing as a Bad Kid: How I Went from Stereotype to Prototype" in 2019.   In addition to being a force in and of himself, this former football player for the University of Florida and the Jacksonville Jaguars knows a thing or two about teamwork. In addition to scoring championship gold alongside Darren Young as The Prime Time Players, Titus was the mastermind behind Titus Worldwide, memorably joining forces with Akira Tozawa, Apollo Crews and Dana Brooke.   A hell of a competitor and a hell of a humanitarian, O'Neil aims to continue to dominate in the ring and inspire others.  
  
  ABOUT TITUS O"NEIL  
  
  WWE Global Ambassador Titus O'Neil (born Thaddeus Bullard) is a father, philanthropist, and champion of good. Raised in poverty, O'Neil overcame a troubled childhood with help from a caring adult. Today, the Tampa, FL, native lives a life of service, empowering individuals, families, and communities across the world.

  JEMELE HILL BIO An Emmy Award winning journalist, Jemele Hill is the Co-founder of Lodge Freeway Media and a contributing writer for The Atlantic. On October 25, 2022, Henry Holt and Company published Hill's memoir, UPHILL: A Memoir. In this character-rich, unapologetically provocative memoir, Hill reveals her tumultuous childhood, complicated family dynamics, and her life-saving journey into journalism. Hill's 20-plus year journalism career has included stops at the biggest sports media network and several reputable newspapers. She originally joined ESPN in 2006 as a national columnist for espn.com. Her profile gradually rose as she began to make appearances on television, including SportsCenter, First Take, Around the Horn, The Sports Reporters and Outside the Lines. She also spent a season as a sideline reporter for ESPN college football games. Her foray into daily television began in 2013, when her and co-host Michael Smith began the daily, sports discussion show, His & Hers, which sprang from their popular podcast of the same name. In February 2017, Hill and Smith co-anchored the 6 p.m., SportsCenter, which debuted as a more personality-driven approach to the traditional SportsCenter. After her stint as SportsCenter host, Hill was a senior columnist for The Undefeated, ESPN's sub-site that focuses on the intersection of sports, race, culture and politics. In addition to breaking ground as a podcaster, Hill continued her celebrated television broadcasting career. In 2020, Hill and her longtime friend, former ESPN anchor Cari Champion, launched a weekly, late-night show on Vice Network called Cari & Jemele: Won't Stick to Sports. The show covered politics, sports, news, current events, and pop culture. Hill is also stretching her muscles behind the camera. She is executive producer of former NFL quarterback and civil rights activist Colin Kaepernick's documentary, which will air on ESPN and is directed by legendary filmmaker Spike Lee. She also is currently developing a comedy series with acclaimed actress Gabrielle Union.
  
  Uphill: A Memoir
  
  https://a.co/d/7qhPXO3
  
  One of Oprah Daily's Best Fall Nonfiction Books of 2022
  
  An empowering, unabashedly bold memoir by the Atlantic journalist and former ESPN SportsCenter coanchor about overcoming a legacy of pain and forging a new path, no matter how uphill life’s battles might be.
  
  Jemele Hill’s world came crashing down when she called President Trump a “white supremacist”; the White House wanted her fired from ESPN, and she was deluged with death threats. But Hill had faced tougher adversaries growing up in Detroit than a tweeting president. Beneath the exterior of one of the most recognizable journalists in America was a need―a calling―to break her family’s cycle of intergenerational trauma.
  
  Born in the middle of a lively routine Friday night Monopoly game to a teen mother and a heroin-addicted father, Hill constantly adjusted to the harsh realities of not only her own childhood but the inherited generational pain of her mother and grandmother. Her escape was writing.
  
  Hill’s mother was less than impressed with the brassy and bold free expression of her diary, but Hill never stopped discovering and amplifying her voice. Through hard work and a constant willingness to learn, Hill rose from newspaper reporter to columnist to new heights as the coanchor for ESPN’s revered SportsCenter. Soon, she earned respect and support for her fearless opinions and unshakable confidence, as well as a reputation as a trusted journalist who speaks her mind with truth and conviction.
  
  In Jemele Hill’s journey Uphill, she shares the whole story of her work, the women of her family, and her complicated relationship with God in an unapologetic, character-rich, and eloquent memoir.

  Join us for an exclusive conversation with Rene Benton, the versatile guitarist who has taken the music world by storm. From his roots in Omaha, Nebraska, to touring 38 states and 50 countries, Rene has worked with an impressive array of artists, including Rock and Roll legends, Pop stars, and Grammy award winners. In this episode, Rene shares his inspiring journey, from his early influences to his current projects and collaborations. Tune in to discover the incredible story behind this guitar maestro and his remarkable discography.
  
  There aren’t many guitarists who possess the versatility as Rene Benton. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, his musical influences ranges from progressive rockers Kansas to the sophisticated funk of the Ohio Players. After a stint in the Marine Corps, Rene decided to dedicate his energy towards music. Touring extensively throughout the United States and abroad(38 states and 50 countries to date), he has produced an astounding resume which includes Rock and Roll legends, such as Chubby Checker band; Pop Star artists, such as Sweden’s Gigi Hamilton, with Warner EMI; and, Columbia Records recording artist – Fishbone through recording, to name a few. More recent performances include collaborations with Tuhran Terrell (keyboardist/Anita Baker), Jerome “Stixx” Davis (drummer/LaFace/Arista recording artist Tony Rich); singer Hunter Gerard (soap opera star/General Hospital); and, Louie Louie (WTG recording artist , chart topping hit “Lap of Luxury”). Rene was also involved with the modern musical Dreamscape; created and performed by Steve Reed, percussionist for fusion jazz legends – The Rippingtons As well recording with Grammy award winning writer Sleepy Brown writer of the hit by Outkast (I like the way U move) and multiple performance with Grammy award winning bassist for Latin pop star Mark Anthony Mel Brown and Christian Rapcore band Junkyard Prophet and a faction of The Fortunes(UK 70’s group that had the hit (“Here comes that rainy day feelin’ Again”) Taking time to record his first full-length release, Rene employed expertise from Troy Johnson, bass; and, the dynamic drumming of Todd Roberson; both backing up the likes of Michael Lee Firkins (Shrapnel records alumni), Stephen Pearcy (former frontman of Ratt); and their own instrumental powerhouse JRZ System. The result was a throttle-filled carpet ride sounding like a fusion between Stevie Wonder and Tony MacAlpine. His follow up project Rene called on more musical friends such as, Philip Bynoe (bassist/Steve Vai, Nuno Bettencourt, and Mark Boals), and Atma Anur (drummer/Greg Howe, Cacophony , Vinnie Moore, Jason Becker), Kelly Conlon (bassist Death, Monstrosity, Azure Emote) Funk legend guitarist Charlie Singleton(Cameo) and drummer/producer Paul Vowell(Radioactive Chickenheads, Green Jelly, Sleepy Brown of Outkast) along with appearances by long time comrades Troy Johnson(bassist JRZ System) among others. Also recorded with Belizian/Central American superstar Andy Palacio who passed away shortly after those sessions.

  Hometown & Resident of Buffalo, NY Although Sydney is the only musical one in her family, she has always had their full support throughout her journey. It began with competing in local talent shows when she was 7 and by the time she was 10, she had already struck gold by winning first place in the Erie County Fair Talent Competition. She has since kept that momentum, singing the national anthem at a Buffalo Sabres game this year and multiple Buffalo Bisons games. She has also been a regular performer at a local music arts festival organized by Robby Takac of the Goo Goo Dolls. Her dedicated mom has played a crucial role in Sydney's success, including scouting singing opportunities on social media to finding local competitions for Sydney to compete. Sydney recently won a TikTok challenge promoted by Broadway Evolved. Unsure if the competition was real and never dreaming it would lead to anything, Sydney was blown away when she won. She was flown out to New York on an all-expenses-paid trip for a weeklong Broadway intensive with Betsy Wolfe, an experience she will never forget.

  Jose grew up immersed in the vibrant culture of Puerto Rico, surrounded by beautiful music. He always dreamt of becoming a pop musician in the mainland U.S. Jose's aunt, Wally Waleska, played a pivotal role in his musical journey. Not related by blood but bound by deep familial ties, Wally introduced Jose to music and supported his dream to perform. One of Jose's most vivid memories was watching Lady Gaga perform "Just Dance" on Waleska's TV when he was 5. Lady Gaga became Jose's icon, and he knew he wanted to pursue a life of music and performance. After the death of his great-grandmother in 2021, Jose struggled with his mental health. His great-grandmother was a pillar of his family and taught him about unity and selflessness. Later, Jose's therapist provided tools to manage his mental health, which eventually led him back to music. Now, Jose strives to be the pop star he's always dreamt of becoming by conquering 'The Voice' stage.

  Mikaela has already accomplished so much inside and out of the classroom at just 16 years old. Mikaela founded a program in her school called Harmonic Healers, a music therapy program aimed to help kids with special needs. On the weekends, she often performs as a princess for birthday parties where she gets to use her musical gift to entertain little kids. Despite her busy schedule, she always makes time for her favorite thing to do: writing songs. She wrote her very first song, "Smoothie," at age 8. Performing around town for various events is also a passion for Mikaela, but one of the most incredible things she's done thus far is singing the national anthem for the Atlanta Dream. Mikaela wouldn't be able to do this without the support of her loving family, especially her mother. Mikaela's mom has never misses Mikaela's performances and is excited to cheer her on on "The Voice."

  Jenn Johnson has been an ER nurse in Canada for many years. Through those years, she was bullied and had to leave jobs because the toxic people she was working with were never dealt with, so she decided to move on. Jenn takes us through three different times she was bullied and how she dealt with each one based on her past experiences and how she grew every time it happened. 
  
  With all of her experience at the bedside, she also realized that she could use her intuition, that gut feeling we all get sometimes, to get her patients the care they need much more quickly than if she waited for lab and diagnostic tests to come back. Her colleagues respect her as she uses her intuition to quickly communicate with others to get patients treated before they become even worse off. 
  
  Jenn is waiting for her book, Nursing Intuition, to be published this fall. In the book, she will discuss the science behind using intuition and how she incorporates it into her patient care. Jenn has a wealth of information to share, and I cannot wait to read her book when it comes out. You can find Jenn at www.rforgrowth.com. Check out her work!

Most recently she starred, executive produced, and directed the self-titled and critically acclaimed Disney Channel series, "Raven's Home," which ran for 6 seasons. This series was a welcomed return to the Disney family after her long run as a teenager on "That's So Raven," which marked the first time in the Disney Channel's history that a Black woman starred in a self-titled comedy series. At age 19, Symoné was named producer of the series, which won four NAACP Image Awards, two Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, and a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Children's Program, during its successful run. 

Symoné got her start in television 33 years ago, when audiences fell in love with her portrayal of Olivia on the Emmy Award-winning series "The Cosby Show" for which she received a Young Artist Award for Exceptional Performance by a Young Actress. She later won a starring role in the comedy series "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper," which aired for 5 seasons. Raven became a pop sensation when she joined the live-action version of "The Cheetah Girls" movie, which was based on the books of the same name. She starred in both Disney Channel Original Movies "The Cheetah Girls" and "Cheetah Girls 2," and the group became a phenomenon. 

Her solo musical career has also spanned decades. She has released four studio albums, "Here's to New Dreams," "Undeniable," "This Is My Time," and "Raven-Symoné." Her talent and powerful vocal ability led her to Broadway, where she headlined the hit musical "Sister Act." While in New York, she also spent five seasons on the Emmy-winning ABC talk show "The View." 

In addition to her on-camera work, Symoné is a prolific director and has several projects in development under her production banner, I See Pictures, which focuses on creating powerful and meaningful stories about underrepresented communities and championing LGBTQ+ voices. 

Symoné lives in Los Angeles with her wife and producing partner, Miranda Pearman-Maday.


The CW's upcoming original game show SCRABBLE, hosted by Emmy® award-winning fan favorite actor, singer, producer, and director Raven-Symoné, is a captivating, fast-paced take on the global board-game phenomenon. In each episode, wordsmiths battle it out by playing a series of addictive, word-based games to win points and add words to a giant SCRABBLE board in the center of the set. SCRABBLE is produced by Hasbro Entertainment, The CW, Mattel Television Studios and Lionsgate Alternative Television. Gabriel Marano, David Garfinkle and Michelle Mendelovitz serve as executive producers.

PATTI SPADARO brings a hopeful outlook to her introspective and heartfelt songwriting. Her guitar style has a soulful, fluid, jam-band feel. She loves to improvise, stretch out during live shows, and reach for musical magic. "Its all about the music and making a connection", says Patti, "bringing people together, letting loose, and being in the here and now".  Her band's live shows create a space where the music opens up into something huge... the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The music cuts through the everyday and connects right to the core. While living in Los Angeles, Patti released 3 albums and played LA's iconic clubs. She toured up and down the west coast & throughout the southwestern US. Her roots called Patti back to PA to raise a family.  She has two daughters, released 2 more albums, and is continuing to record and perform. Patti also teaches college courses in yoga, meditation, and Mindfulness in Music.

Glass Shatters is an inspiring tribute to the strength and resilience of women. It honors our historic first female Vice President, and our continuing quest to break glass ceilings everywhere.  Five women vocalists come together to sing, harmonize and complement each other, with soulful lead guitar work by Spadaro. “When I left PA to attend Musician's Institute in the early 1990's, I was one of 3 women guitar students, in a sea of 700 guys." says Patti. “It wasn't easy being in such a minority. Society has come a long way, but there is still plenty of progress to be made.”  Glass Shatters features Pittsburgh musicians and singers: Patti Spadaro (guitar/vocals), Anne Celedonia (keys/vocals), Cherylann Hawk, Jill Simmons & Alison McTavish (backing vocals), Eric Kurtzrock (drummer/recording engineer), and Ryan Black (bass).

THE PATTI SPADARO BAND weave organic grooves with catchy original tunes and spur-of-the moment jamming.  "I like to combine improvisation with good solid song writing" says Patti. "I love to get people up and dancing. Music can open minds and inspire, it can bring people together, even make a difference in the world. It's also a whole lot of fun."  

BRINGING ME BACK features drummers Eric Kurtzrock & Jim Donovan (Rusted Root), keyboardist Skip Sanders (The Clarks, Bill Deasy), and Jill Simmons singing harmony (Brown Eyed Women). The album features impressive musicianship and songs that reach deep. Songs about discovering what matters most. Standing up and living life from that place. A place of integrity and love; freedom, joy and passion. 

WOMEN ON TOP - add Jill Simmons, Cherylann Hawk, Alison McTavish and Andrea Pearl's lead vocals and beautiful harmonies to the mix.  See our Women On Top page for more.

Bonnie Raitt, Natalie Merchant, Tedeschi/Trucks, The Grateful Dead, John Mayer, Phish, Little Feat, The Allman Brothers, Michael Franti, Sara Bareilles, Dave Matthews Band, Counting Crows and many more. 

Patti performs & records with many bands/musicians in the greater Pittsburgh PA area, including: Cherylann Hawk, Bill Toms & Hard Rain, Jill Simmons, Eric Kurtzrock, Pittsburgh Women of the Blues, theCAUSE, The Sun Champs, Lisa Mackney (Dark Star Orchestra), Jim Donovan (Rusted Root), Danny Gochnour & Joffo Simmons (The Houserockers), Alison McTavish (Love Crumbs), SamJAMwich, Steve "pUNK" Cunningham, Mike Tony, Mike "Foot" Hoernig & John “JB” Bigham, Joe Monroe (Ghosthounds), Ms. Freddye, T. Mitchell Bell, Cheryl Rinovato & Stevee Wellons (Soulful Femme), Joe Pinchotti III (Charles Wesley Godwin), Janelle Burdell, Andrea Pearl, Dan Baker, Al&Al, Lindsay Dragan, Ven Kelly, Matt Locy and more.  Patti's opened for many artists, including Melvin Seals and JGB. 

Patti was the lead guitarist for the ZOOKEEPERS for several years. They recorded two albums together, played many shows in Los Angeles, and toured the western U.S. extensively. The Zookeepers were named one of L.A.'s best bands by KTLA-TV, and performed on "Good Day L.A." and other TV shows. Both of their CDs received radio airplay all over the west coast. Patti opened for guitar legend Eddie Van Halen in Hollywood, and for Little Feat at the El Rey Theatre. She recorded and performed with award winning commercial producer Sherby, and singer/songwriter Roger Len Smith. She recorded "A Step Down From Luxuy", The Mystrals' first CD and toured the southwestern US with them. The Mystrals singer won "Best Vocalist" in the L.A. Music Awards.  Patti is a graduate of Musician's Institute, where she studied with world renown jazz/fusion guitarist Scott Henderson of Chick Corea's band, and blues/roots-rock guitarist Keith Wyatt of the Blasters. She's also worked as a guitar teacher.

Patti began her musical journey at 11 years old, playing a beat-up acoustic hand-me-down. Growing up in PA, she soon discovered electric guitar and spent hours learning riffs from her guitar heroes including The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers & Stevie Ray Vaughn.  After getting her degree in Physics from Drexel University, she moved to Los Angeles to attend Musician's Institute.

Thank you for your time. ]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/62044125Fri, 20 Sep 2024 14:19:56 +0000I Am Refocused RadioJoin us for an inspiring conversation with singer-songwriter and guitarist Patti Spadaro. Patti shares her journey from the iconic clubs of Los Angeles to her current roots in Pennsylvania, discussing her music, teaching, and passion for empowerment....
PATTI SPADARO brings a hopeful outlook to her introspective and heartfelt songwriting. Her guitar style has a soulful, fluid, jam-band feel. She loves to improvise, stretch out during live shows, and reach for musical magic. "Its all about the music and making a connection", says Patti, "bringing people together, letting loose, and being in the here and now".  Her band's live shows create a space where the music opens up into something huge... the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The music cuts through the everyday and connects right to the core. While living in Los Angeles, Patti released 3 albums and played LA's iconic clubs. She toured up and down the west coast & throughout the southwestern US. Her roots called Patti back to PA to raise a family.  She has two daughters, released 2 more albums, and is continuing to record and perform. Patti also teaches college courses in yoga, meditation, and Mindfulness in Music.

Glass Shatters is an inspiring tribute to the strength and resilience of women. It honors our historic first female Vice President, and our continuing quest to break glass ceilings everywhere.  Five women vocalists come together to sing, harmonize and complement each other, with soulful lead guitar work by Spadaro. “When I left PA to attend Musician's Institute in the early 1990's, I was one of 3 women guitar students, in a sea of 700 guys." says Patti. “It wasn't easy being in such a minority. Society has come a long way, but there is still plenty of progress to be made.”  Glass Shatters features Pittsburgh musicians and singers: Patti Spadaro (guitar/vocals), Anne Celedonia (keys/vocals), Cherylann Hawk, Jill Simmons & Alison McTavish (backing vocals), Eric Kurtzrock (drummer/recording engineer), and Ryan Black (bass).

THE PATTI SPADARO BAND weave organic grooves with catchy original tunes and spur-of-the moment jamming.  "I like to combine improvisation with good solid song writing" says Patti. "I love to get people up and dancing. Music can open minds and inspire, it can bring people together, even make a difference in the world. It's also a whole lot of fun."  

BRINGING ME BACK features drummers Eric Kurtzrock & Jim Donovan (Rusted Root), keyboardist Skip Sanders (The Clarks, Bill Deasy), and Jill Simmons singing harmony (Brown Eyed Women). The album features impressive musicianship and songs that reach deep. Songs about discovering what matters most. Standing up and living life from that place. A place of integrity and love; freedom, joy and passion. 

WOMEN ON TOP - add Jill Simmons, Cherylann Hawk, Alison McTavish and Andrea Pearl's lead vocals and beautiful harmonies to the mix.  See our Women On Top page for more.

Bonnie Raitt, Natalie Merchant, Tedeschi/Trucks, The Grateful Dead, John Mayer, Phish, Little Feat, The Allman Brothers, Michael Franti, Sara Bareilles, Dave Matthews Band, Counting Crows and many more. 

Patti performs & records with many bands/musicians in the greater Pittsburgh PA area, including: Cherylann Hawk, Bill Toms & Hard Rain, Jill Simmons, Eric Kurtzrock, Pittsburgh Women of the Blues, theCAUSE, The Sun Champs, Lisa Mackney (Dark Star Orchestra), Jim Donovan (Rusted Root), Danny Gochnour & Joffo Simmons (The Houserockers), Alison McTavish (Love Crumbs), SamJAMwich, Steve "pUNK" Cunningham, Mike Tony, Mike "Foot" Hoernig & John “JB” Bigham, Joe Monroe...]]>1436angeles,blues,education,empowerment,female,guitarist,institute,jam-band,los,meditation,mindfulness,music,musician's,patti,rights,rock,singer-songwriter,spadaro,women's,yogafalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/anna-jones-author-of-easy-wins-12-flavor-hits-125-delicious-recipes-365-days-of-good-eating--61951767

Kat Timpf is a writer, comedian, and libertarian commentator. She's currently the co-host of "Gutfeld!" on Fox News weeknights at 10 p.m. and a Fox News analyst. She's also the author of the New York Times bestseller "You Can't Joke About That: Why Everything is Funny, Nothing is Sacred, and We're All in This Together."

Kat is a prolific writer, having worked as a columnist for National Review for nearly six years. She's also worked at Campus Reform, The Washington Times, Barstool Sports, and of course, Boston Market. She's no stranger to the stage, either: The national tour of her comedy live show, "You Can't Joke About That LIVE," sold out in theaters all around the country. 

Kat stands out in a sea of pundits because of her libertarian perspective and use of comedy and satire to get her no-nonsense points across -- even landing her onVariety's New Power of New York list in 2023. While she is steadfast in her strong libertarian beliefs, Kat is a firm believer in the power of conversations to bridge gaps, political or otherwise. Kat loves connecting with people across the country and around the world and talking about the things that are on everyone's minds, but no one's lips. And she is sure to do so with a great deal of respect and humor. 

She currently lives in New York City with her husband Cam, their dog Carl, and her cat Cheens. 

ABOUT HER BOOK I USED TO LIKE YOU UNTIL.. (HOW BINARY THINKING DIVIDES US) 

In this whip-smart follow-up to the "ruthlessly honest exploration of comedy and cancellation" (Dr. Drew, television host and New York Times bestselling author) You Can't Joke About That, New York Times bestselling author Kat Timpf examines the dangers of binary thinking, and how it threatens to take over our institutions, relationships, and even our freedoms. 

For some reason, when it comes to complex issues, we've largely limited ourselves to just two options, resulting in a society of non-thinkers. After all, once you've picked a side, all the thinking has already been done for you. As an independent, libertarian voter who has spent the last ten years at Fox News, Kat has faced this issue too many times to count. She's learned that surprising things can happen when you refuse to choose a team, especially when you work at a place some people call an existential threat to America.

Binary thinking is much more than just the enemy of critical thinking, it's also an immediate danger to our political discourse, our institutions, our way of consuming news, our relationships, our creativity, and even to our freedoms. All too often, we will let a single difference in viewpoint, an assumption, or an association be enough to write off another person entirely, even if we know nothing else about them. We miss out on opportunities to connect or even collaborate, all while the people in power over us benefit from our division.

Through humorous examples from her own life and insight only someone in her bizarre position can possess, Kat reminds us that the world doesn't have to be so black and white. In her signature witty voice, Kat inspires us to lean into thoughtful consideration, genuine conversation, vulnerability, and only hating people when they really deserve it.

A decorated combat veteran with multiple deployments, Lt. Col. Jason G. Pike, USA, Retired, served 31 years in the United States Army as both an enlisted and officer, including nine years overseas in five countries. Jason earned over 30 service awards & badges and survived a wicked amount of military training. 

His first book, A Soldier Against All Odds, compiles all his life events in an inspiring storytelling format with the ups and downs of a life in uniform. His diversity of Army jobs, assignments, and schools from age 17 to 48 sets this military memoir up differently than most. 

Jason’s brutal honesty on how he did it while disclosing many sacred secrets about how he survived is unique. With a straightforward account of one man’s journey, he inspires audiences nationwide at speaking events and shows how to be resilient and to persevere no matter what disadvantages and life struggles may happen.

After having walked through the VA benefits bureaucracy and endless paperwork, Pike has made it his business to master getting the benefits he earned, and he now has a much-needed blueprint to help other veterans do the same. His second book, Out of the Uniform, Back into Civilian Life, is an invaluable resource for veterans seeking clear, actionable guidance to navigate the often complex landscape of VA benefits and assistance programs.

Through their exploration of the Colfax Massacre—the deadliest incident of racial violence during Reconstruction—and the legal and political fallout that followed, Dana and David reveal unsettling parallels to today’s deeply divided political landscape.

ABOUT DANA BASH AND HER BOOK AMERICA'S DEADLIEST ELECTION 

CNN anchor and chief political correspondent Dana Bash has written her first book, AMERICA'S DEADLIEST ELECTION: The Cautionary Tale of the Most Violent Election in American History with bestselling author David Fisher. 

AMERICA'S DEADLIEST ELECTION recounts the extraordinary election that led to hundreds of murders, warfare in the streets of New Orleans, two governors of Louisiana - and changed the course of politics in our country. The Election of 1872 was the most contentious in American history. After both parties complained of corruption, neither candidate would concede, two governors claimed office and chaos erupted. Rival newspapers engaged in a bitter war of words, politicians plotted to overthrow the government, and their supporters fought in the streets and attempted assassinations. The entire country watched in grim fascination as the wounds of the Civil War were ripped open and the promise of President Grant's Reconstruction faltered in the face of violent resistance and the birth of the Ku Klux Klan. 

In this riveting book, Dana Bash and David Fisher tell the incredible, little-known story of the election that pushed democracy to the breaking point, and sparked historic events including:

• The Colfax Massacre, in which at least 150 Black men were killed by white supremacists.

• The extraordinary train race from New York to New Orleans for control of the state government.

• The election of the first black Congressman from Louisiana in the face of violent resistance.

• The Supreme Court ruling that ended Reconstruction and became the foundation of Southern segregation, changing the American legal system for the next century

AMERICA'S DEADLIEST ELECTION is an eye-opening warning of what's at stake and what it takes to protect our democracy.

PATRICK RENNA BIO

Most widely known for his role as "Ham" in the sports cult classic, The Sandlot, Patrick Renna is back in the spotlight, hitting dingers across social media. Renna, immediately recognizable to Gen X and Millennials for being "The Hambino" regularly showcases his comedic genius on his social channels, which feature a constant influx of sports content, family content and a fresh twist on today's trends. Renna has become a multi-generational hit by adding Gen Z to his existing fan base - garnering hundreds of thousands of new fans and millions of views in the meantime. A father of two, Renna resides in Los Angeles, where he can often be found at his local course shooting a very average round of bogey golf, playing pick-up basketball at the YMCA, producing in the commercial and content space for his production company Brookline or being the founder of his apparel line Hambino.

Patrick was born in Boston, and though he moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting at a young age, his accent still comes through when he gets excited. He went on to star in Disney's THE BIG GREEN, directed by Holly Goldberg Sloan. His long list of credits include such films as Son In Law, Punks, Ricky 6, Very Mean Men, Life Blood, Dark Ride, Dorm Daze and countless others. He also has done several Movies of the Week and has guest starred or recurred on dozens of hit TV shows such shows as ER, Bones, Over There, CSI, The Closer, The X-Files & Boston Legal where he didn't have a Boston accent... #irony).

UFC, WWE, and Olympic superstar, multi-ESPY Award-winner, and Hollywood actress Ronda Rousey has stepped out of the ring and into the world of comics. Artists Writers and Artisans (AWA), the independent developer of bold, original stories from the world's most outstanding creators, announced today the upcoming Kickstarter campaign for Rousey's graphic novel debut, EXPECTING THE UNEXPECTED Penned by Rousey and edited by Axel Alonso, AWA Chief Creative Officer and former Editor-and-Chief at Marvel, with art by Eisner and Ringo Award-winning comic book artist Mike Deodato, Jr. (BAD MOTHER, WONDER WOMAN), the graphic novel draws on Rousey's incredible career in the ring and pairs it with Deodato's martial arts background to create the most accurate and action-packed fight scenes in comics! 

Her codename: "Mom." With a fake baby bump filled with guns, she's built a reputation as one of the deadliest hitwomen on the planet. But on the verge of her big break in the criminal underworld, Mom makes a fateful decision: sleeping with a potential target (who just so happens to be a top-ranked assassin himself). A few weeks later, Mom finds that her codename is about to become a whole lot more literal. What follows is a wild mashup of action, adventure, comedy, and romance as a newly pregnant Mom with a bounty on her head fights off wave after wave of assassins, falls in love with her baby daddy, and decides how to face her personal and professional predicament.EXPECTING THE UNEXPECTED sets a new bar for the authenticity of fight scenes through a unique creative process developed by Rousey, Deodato, and AWA. 

"I felt like I had to tell this story, because EXPECTING THE UNEXPECTED pulls from the most important parts of my life: motherhood, my career as a fighter, and fun action movies," said Ronda Rousey. "I knew I needed an artist who understood how to translate my fighting from real life to graphic novel artwork, so it's been truly gratifying watching Mike Deodato bring this story to life. I'm so excited to work with AWA and share my very first graphic novel with the world and I hope comic fans will enjoy this adventure." 

Through Kickstarter, AWA allows fans to support its most ambitious limited-edition projects. This new graphic novel will feature Kickstarter exclusives and include premium, tiered rewards for the biggest Ronda Rousey fans. The EXPECTING THE UNEXPECTED Kickstarter will launch on July 25 and those interested in learning more about the campaign and its reward offerings should sign up here to be notified when the campaign is live. Throughout her career as a global superstar, Rousey has built a huge fan base around the world and Kickstarter allows fans to support this debut in more than 200 countries worldwide. 

Chief Creative Officer of AWA Axel Alonso added, "Ronda has brought the same level of ferocity, discipline, and craft to her original script that made her a champion in Judo, UFC, and WWE. A potent blend of dark comedy, romance, and over-the-top action, EXPECTING THE UNEXPECTED delivers a knockout punch on every level. You'll laugh, you'll wince, you'll cry, and you'll thrill at the action scenes - meticulously choreographed by Ronda and executed with precision by comic book maestro and martial arts black belt Mike Deodato, Jr. - that literally leap off the page."For more information on the EXPECTING THE UNEXPECTED Kickstarter and other content, visit AWA Studios on Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube, and AWAStudios.com. 

RONDA ROUSEY BIO (FROM IMDB) 

Ronda Rousey burst onto the women's MMA scene in August of 2010. Born in Riverside County, California on February 1, 1987 to parents Ron Rousey and AnnMaria DeMars, little Ronda was born with an umbilical cord wrapped around her neck that damaged her vocal cords. She didn't speak coherently until the age of six. Ronda was a self-professed tomboy and swam from the ages of 6 to 10. She competed on the Jr. Olympic swim team where she placed in the state level.

Because of her mother, a 7th degree black belt and 1984 World Judo Champion, Ronda took up the sport. She had a hard time socializing with other kids and found that Judo gave her confidence. She holds a 4th degree black belt in the martial art.

Ronda's Judo career is a storied one. At 17 she became the youngest judoka in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. That same year she won a gold medal at the World Junior Judo Championships in Budapest, and in 2006 she became the first U.S. female in almost 10 years to win an A-Level tournament going 5-0 to clench the gold at the World Cup in Great Britain. At 19 she won the bronze medal at the Junior World Championships. She is the first U.S. athlete to win two Junior World Medals. In 2007 she added a silver at the World Judo Championships and a gold at the Pan American Games. The pinnacle of her Judo career was a bronze at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Rousey became the first American to win an Olympic medal in women's Judo since it became an Olympic sport in 1992.

After medaling in the Olympics, Ronda's career hit a dead end. She did some bartending to make ends meet and tried to find a better paying job, but it was tough finding anyone that needed her particular skill set. Throwing people down and putting them in armbars aren't really something you can put on a resume. By chance Ronda caught the Gina Carano vs. Julie Kedzie fight on television and things changed.

She made her mixed martial arts debut as an amateur in 2010. Since then she has never lost a fight, winning the majority in the first round by armbar submission. Ronda took it upon herself to chase after and demand attention so that the UFC could no longer ignore women fighters. UFC President Dana White had publicly stated that women would never be allowed to fight in the UFC, but on February 23, 2013, Ronda did just that. She won the fight against Liz Carmouche in the first round with her signature armbar and became the first UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion.

Rousey is the only woman to be the champion in both the UFC and WWE as well as the only woman to headline a pay-per-view event in both companies. She was voted the best female athlete of all time in a 2015 ESPN fan poll, and Fox Sports described her as "one of the defining athletes of the 21st century. Rousey has also appeared in films, including The Expendables 3 (2014), Furious 7 (2015), and Mile 22(2018), and published her autobiography My Fight / Your Fight in 2015.

• How to make the critical shift from working "in" your business to working "on" your business
• The power of masterminding and how to apply it to your business
• Practical tips for avoiding burnout and achieving freedom as a business owner
• Expert insights on the latest trends and shifts in entrepreneurship

Join us for an inspiring and informative conversation with Jeremy B. Shapiro, and discover how to take your business to the next level.

In his role as a mentor and coach to entrepreneurs, Jeremy has helped small business owners make the transition from “solopreneur” to “business owner” – an important distinction that many entrepreneurs can easily miss when working “in” their business instead of “on” their business.

Since 1998, Jeremy has been helping entrepreneurs discover the core strengths in themselves and their business, and realize their true potential combining passion and expertise to grow their businesses and attain the freedom they deserve.

Through structured masterminding, one-on-one coaching, and consulting work, Jeremy is able to uncover hidden opportunities within individual businesses that provide the maximum profit for the business owner.

Jeremy has been interviewed extensively by the media for his expert opinions on the real estate market and business and has been interviewed and featured on NPR Morning Edition, the Boston Business Journal, Fox News, ABC, NBC, PBS, the Boston Globe, New England Cable News, The Australian, California Biz Journal, Market Watch, and was even interviewed by the Toyo Keizai – the Business Week of Japan.

When not helping other entrepreneurs take their businesses to the next level, you’ll likely find Jeremy traveling the world with his family, soaking up language and culture like a sponge, climbing mountains, cycling unreasonably long distances for fun, running, or playing in the kitchen.

  . The attempted assassination of former president Trump may incite copy-cat attempts on the democratic party nominees and they travel in and around the DNC.
  . The FBI director previously advised Congress that the "most lethal" for of domestic violent extremism is racially/ethnically motivated. The fact that Kamala Harris is of mixed race increases the threat to the DNC.
  . The lone actor, intent on violence, is the toughest threat to defeat.. In addition to domestic terror, the global picture - including the Israel-Gaza conflict, pending retaliation against Israel from Iran and/or Hizbollah, and potential coordination between Hamas, ISIS and other groups, means that international actors could be contemplating a high-profile attack here, during the DNC.

  ABOUT FRED TRUMP AND ALL IN THE FAMILY: The Trumps and How We Got This Way 
  
  With revealing, never-before-told stories, Fred C. Trump III, nephew of President Donald Trump, breaks his decades-long silence in this honest memoir and sheds a whole new light on the family name.
  
  For the record.Fred Trump never asked for any of this. The divisive politics. The endless headlines. A hijacked last name. The heat-seeking uncle, rising from real estate scion to gossip column fixture to The Apprentice host to President of the United States. Fred just wanted a happy life and a satisfying career. But a fight for his son's health and safety forced him onto a center stage that he had never wanted. And now, at a crucial point for our nation, he is stepping forward again.
  
  In All in the Family, Fred delves into his journey to become a "different kind of Trump," detailing his passionate battle to protect his wife and children from forces inside and outside the family. From the Trump house to the White House, Fred comes to terms with his own complex legacy and faces some demons head-on. It's a story of power, love, money, cruelty, and the unshakable bonds of family, played out underneath a glaring media spotlight. 
  
  All in the Family is the inside story, as it's never been told. 
  
  The Washington Post said, "Fred C. Trump III cast[s] aside decades of silence to delve into the roots of the Trump family's dysfunction at a critical moment in American political history...juicily entertaining...a dishy portrait," while Slate calls Fred, "The only normal Trump." Born into arguably today's most famous family in the world, Fred Trump worked to keep his immediate family out of the media spotlight. But as he says in the book, "silence is golden only where there is nothing that needs to be said." Now as a divided nation gears up for the 2024 presidential election, Fred has decided this is the moment to share a very different family story. A story that could shape the decision of a nation.
  
  In this candid and revealing memoir, he recounts for the first time what it was like growing up Trump: from his grandfather Fred amassing the real family wealth to the win-at-all-cost dynamics between Donald Trump and his siblings-wins that threatened the health and safety of Fred's son, who was diagnosed with developmental and intellectual disabilities.
  
  With extraordinary access from the Trump house to the White House, Fred Trump shares his never-before-told stories with warmth and heart-but also shines a light into the darker corners of the Trump empire.

  Bio
  
  Rayne is a force of pure positivity... The self-described “AfroTina” has a strong and committed work ethic that clearly demonstrates her passion for her music. 
  
  The San Antonio, Texas-based Recording Artist shares, “I know who I am, I know my roots, and I’m working hard to reach a worldwide audience. I want to make music for everyone, no matter what culture or background they come from.”  
  
  Rayne ’s music is a cross between (classic and current) R&B, Pop with a dash of Hip Hop.  She was raised in a household where music was another member of her family. Her parents deep record collection provided Rayne with an education from an early age from some of the greatest Artists, such as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers, Al Green, Diana Ross and Etta James. On her own she went on to explore further greats and soak up modern icons such as Michael Jackson, Destiny’s Child, Prince, Rihanna, Bruno Mars, Mary J. Blige, and Lauryn Hill. To date, by far her most seismic influence is none other than Beyoncé, and, incidentally, Rayne appears in a concert trailer for Beyoncé ’s -  Miss Carter World Tour in 2013.   
  
  Rayne is a multi-faceted entertainer and has performed in a wide variety of contexts. She’s appeared in film, television, has modeled, performed her music at radio festivals, sporting events, anti-bullying campaigns, award ceremonies, and at traditional musical performances. Select live performance highlights include sharing show bills with such diverse artists as Keith Sweat, Doug E. Fresh, Becky G., G-Eazy, Steve Aoki, Lil Wayne, Future, Migos, funk icons Lakeside, Baby Bash, Wiz Khalifa, and Khalid.  
  
  In all that Rayne does, it’s her major desire to set a positive example as a multi-cultural young woman, with faith-based ethos, and unflinching optimism. Following this path, she’s earned accolades and awards from a variety of sources. A cross section of highlights include earning the title of “Teen Vogue Ambassador”; cover features in ReFocused Magazine  and ChicaGirl; being a Bold Favor Award Honoree, in recognition of amazing leadership in the entertainment field, and being named a City of San Antonio Youth Ambassador.

  The "Black Widow", Jeanette Lee, achieved legendary billiards status when she became the top-ranked female pool player in the world during the 1990s, winning over 30 national and international titles. Lee, dressed in black from head-to-toe when she decimated her prey in that span, later had her career be a focus of an ESPN 30-for-30 documentary.
  
  In her new book Black Widow: A Memoir (Triumph Books, 8.13.24), Lee looks back at her illustrious career, lifelong struggle with scoliosis, and a public battle with Stage 4 ovarian cancer. 
  
  Jeanette was 18 years old when she walked into a New York City pool hall and became enamored by the elegant geometry of the game. Before long, she was an unmistakable figure on the international competition circuit, dressed head-to-toe in black, stalking the billiards table and gazing down her cue as if tracking her prey.
  
  In this new memoir, the woman nicknamed 'The Black Widow' opens up about her legendary career and the rich, unpredictable life she's woven around it. Lee details her upbringing in a Korean-American household in Brooklyn, her single-minded drive to reach the pinnacle of her sport, and her unlikely entry into the realm of mainstream celebrity in an era where female athletes rarely got their share of the limelight.
  
  Lee also reflects on her lifelong struggle with scoliosis, which necessitated over twenty operations during her playing career; her public battle with Stage 4 ovarian cancer; and the communities that gave her strength throughout. Written with warmth and candor, this is the definitive story of a true icon. 
  
  JEANETTE LEE BIO JEANETTE LEE, the “Black Widow” of pool 
  
  Jeanette Lee has been dubbed the “Black Widow”  because of her killer instincts at the pool table. Normally, she has a calm, sweet demeanor but with a cue in her hand, everything changes. After picking up the sport at 18, Jeanette quickly rose in the world of pool. She turned professional at the age of 21 and became the No. 1 ranked female player in the world by 23. She went on to receive the Women’s Professional Billiard Association (WPBA) Sportsperson of the Year Award in 1998 and won the gold medal for the United States at the 2001 World Games in Japan. While playing the sport and after retiring, Jeanette remains a strong proponent of women’s athletics and specifically women in pool. Early on, she would travel from place-to-place recruiting women to play in tournaments alongside her. The women’s sport was hard to grow, but the Black Widow was relentless.

  Savage, a WWE wrestling hall of famer, was an A-list celebrity who sat atop the entertainment universe for much of the '80s and '90s. His outfits were as flamboyant as anything worn by Liberace, Elton John, or Prince. His charisma surpassed Hulk Hogan's and is rivaled only by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The Rock.

  Macho Man starred in cartoons, was featured on lunchboxes, sold a slew of action figures and toys, was in multiple video games, guest starred on Baywatch, Mad About You, and Walker, Texas Ranger, and made multiple appearances on iconic '90s talk shows. He supported a myriad of kids' charities, emceed Christmas events at hospitals for George Steinbrenner, played minor league baseball with Pete Rose, was the Harvard Lampoon's "Real Man of the Year," and held his family's wrestling legacy above all else.With catchphrases and a voice still imitated by millions to this day, and with his GIFs reaching hundreds of millions of views on social media, the Macho Man is a transcendent figure who led an extraordinary life.

  CHRIS BOOKER BIO

In 1992, he began his self-described "gypsy years radio tour," where he held the positions of on-air personality and music director at a number of different stations as both Chris Booker and Booker Madison in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Florence, Kansas City, and Pittsburgh.

When that format failed and the show was taken off the air, Booker then worked at Sirius Satellite Radio as morning host for Octane Radio. Booker was then hired at New York Top forty (WHTZ) "Z100" as a fill-in host. Booker eventually found his way back to K-Rock in 2005, where his show aired in the afternoon until the format was changed to "Free FM" talk.

Top 40" and also appeared on Carson Daly's show" The podcast covers trending stories in the world of show business, interviews with celebrities and interesting personalities, and more.

Shemaiah explains how these tools can be used to create detailed and evocative visuals from text prompts.
  
  But the magic doesn't stop there. Shemaiah delves into how ChatGPT can be a powerful ally in songwriting and music production. By refining and editing songwriting prompts, artists can generate unique lyrics that perfectly match their vision. This innovative approach allows for a level of precision and creativity that was previously unimaginable.
  
  Listeners are guided through best practices for using AI tools in music production, including the importance of experimentation and iteration. Shemaiah emphasizes the value of trying different short descriptions of song ideas and rendering them multiple times to achieve the desired sound.
  
  As a special treat, Shemaiah presents a quick exercise in song creation, providing a verse and will share the song link via SoundCloud below. This segment showcases the potential of AI-driven music production and aims to inspire listeners to explore their own creativity using AI platforms.

Shemaiah explains how these tools can be used to create detailed and evocative visuals from text prompts.
  
  But the magic doesn't stop there. Shemaiah delves into how ChatGPT can be a powerful ally in songwriting and music production. By refining and editing songwriting prompts, artists can generate unique lyrics that perfectly match their vision. This innovative approach allows for a level of precision and creativity that was previously unimaginable.
  
  Listeners are guided through best practices for using AI tools in music production, including the importance of experimentation and iteration. Shemaiah emphasizes the value of trying different short descriptions of song ideas and rendering them multiple times to achieve the desired sound.
  
  As a special treat, Shemaiah presents a quick exercise in song creation, providing a verse and will share the song link via SoundCloud below. This segment showcases the potential of AI-driven music production and aims to inspire listeners to explore their own creativity using AI platforms.

  Give the AI context about the topic, guest, or subject. This helps the AI generate more accurate and relevant responses.

  Include relevant keywords related to the topic or industry. This helps the AI understand the subject matter and generate more precise responses.
  
  Step 5: Add Personality Insights
  For songwriting or podcast descriptions, share insights about the artist's or guest's personality, tone, and language patterns. This helps the AI capture their unique voice.
  
  Step 6: Refine and Iterate

  The track was produced by Miss Freddye, and recorded at Red Caiman Media in the North Hills
  section of Pittsburgh. “Slippin’ Away” is a heartfelt blues ballad written by the late Mike Lyzenga, who penned the song on February 25, 2018. The song’s evocative lyrics and soulful
  composition capture the essence of a love fading away, a sentiment deeply felt by listeners.
  
  I don’t know, where we’re goin’
  I don’t know, where we’ve been
  It’s just an illusion, we’ve seen before?
  Yeah, it's a nightmare comin’ back for more?
  
  Accompanying Miss Freddye on this track is a talented lineup of musicians, including Mike
  Huston on guitar, Jeff Conner on keys, Greg Sejko on bass, and Bob Dicola on drums.
  Miss Freddye's interpretation of “Slippin’ Away” is not only a tribute to the late Mike Lyzenga but
  also a testament to her ability to convey deep emotions through her music. The song's poignant
  lyrics, paired with Miss Freddye's emotive delivery, are sure to resonate with blues aficionados
  and new listeners alike.
  
  About Miss Freddye:
  
  Miss Freddye began her musical journey singing in church at a young
  age. Influenced by the soulful sounds of the blues that her mother loved, she ventured into the
  world of blues music in 1996, joining Blues Music Works under the direction of "Big" Al Leavitt.
  In 2002, she formed Blue Faze and later established Miss Freddye's Blues Band and Miss
  Freddye's Homecookin Band, bringing her electric and acoustic blues to audiences everywhere.
  Miss Freddye’s influences include blues legends such as Koko Taylor, Etta James, and Big
  Mama Thornton. She is committed to using her musical talents for charitable causes, supporting organizations like Relay for Life, Toys for Tots, Veterans, and Band Together Pittsburgh. Her accolades include winning the Iron City Rocks Awards for Best Blues Band multiple times and being nominated for Blues Foundation Awards. Her music, infused with passion and authenticity, continues to inspire and connect with audiences worldwide.

Tune in to understand the nuanced arguments and strategic responses needed to navigate this complex issue.

Sue Swayze Liebel hails from Indianapolis, Indiana where she has worked for over 25 years in policy development, program design and implementation, lobbying and political strategy.

Sue currently serves as the Director of State Affairs and Midwest Regional Director for the Susan B. Anthony List in Washington, D.C. She is responsible for implementing the program’s mission of advancing women lawmakers who are dedicated to ending abortion by passing laws that save lives. This involves expanding the caucus’ membership of state elected women across the country and equipping them with policy, legal and communications tools. In her home state of Indiana, Sue is also the Vice President for Public Affairs for Indiana Right to Life, a statewide pro-life advocacy organization, where she assists in developing policy and lobbying strategies and serves as its media spokesperson on issues of human life.

Previously, Sue served the Communications Director for the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency. She also served the family policy council in Indiana, the Indiana Family Institute, by overseeing the Hoosier Congressional Policy Leadership Series, a leadership program specifically aimed at training conservatives for community service and policy leadership initiatives. She also coordinated its initiative to provide marriage and relationship enhancement programs, for which she is also a certified facilitator, primarily in jails and prisons.

Sue is a former Vice President with the Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, where she represented the business community, working with local and state officials to advocate for business-friendly regulations and legislation on tax and fiscal issues, infrastructure, environmental and local and government consolidation.  She also staffed that chamber’s Political Action Committee. She was also the first Executive Director for the Indiana Christian Chamber of Commerce.

Prior to her years at the chamber, Sue was Policy Director at the United Way of Central Indiana and was active in such issues as child abuse, senior citizen’s services and welfare reform.  She founded the Children’s Coalition of Indiana, a statewide children’s advocacy group which played a key role in the creation of Indiana’s “Kids First” license plate.

Specializing in planning and management, Sue has a master’s degree in Social Work from Indiana University.

Tune in to understand the nuanced arguments and strategic responses needed to navigate this complex issue.

Sue Swayze Liebel hails from Indianapolis, Indiana where she has worked for over 25 years in policy development, program design and implementation, lobbying and political strategy.

Sue currently serves as the Director of State Affairs and Midwest Regional Director for the Susan B. Anthony List in Washington, D.C. She is responsible for implementing the program’s mission of advancing women lawmakers who are dedicated to ending abortion by passing laws that save lives. This involves expanding the caucus’ membership of state elected women across the country and equipping them with policy, legal and communications tools. In her home state of Indiana, Sue is also the Vice President for Public Affairs for Indiana Right to Life, a statewide pro-life advocacy organization, where she assists in developing policy and lobbying strategies and serves as its media spokesperson on issues of human life.

Previously, Sue served the Communications Director for the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency. She also served the family policy council in Indiana, the Indiana Family Institute, by overseeing the Hoosier Congressional Policy Leadership Series, a leadership program specifically aimed at training conservatives for community service and policy leadership initiatives. She also coordinated its initiative to provide marriage and relationship enhancement programs, for which she is also a certified facilitator, primarily in jails and prisons.

Sue is a former Vice President with the Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, where she represented the business community, working with local and state officials to advocate for business-friendly regulations and legislation on tax and fiscal issues, infrastructure, environmental and local and government consolidation.  She also staffed that chamber’s Political Action Committee. She was also the first Executive Director for the Indiana Christian Chamber of Commerce.

Prior to her years at the chamber, Sue was Policy Director at the United Way of Central Indiana and was active in such issues as child abuse, senior citizen’s services and welfare reform.  She founded the Children’s Coalition of Indiana, a statewide children’s advocacy group which played a key role in the creation of Indiana’s “Kids First” license plate.

Specializing in planning and management, Sue has a master’s degree in Social Work from Indiana University.

Most importantly, Sue is a daughter of the Lord Jesus Christ, to whom she has pledged her life’s work.  She now approaches the political arena as a mission field for her Christian faith and strives to impact the lives of children and families by promoting life, marriage, and family issues. She is married to David.

About Luaskya Nonon

Luaskya's background is a unique blend of firsts and pioneering roles, both in her family and professional life. Being the eldest child and a first-generation American in a Panamanian family, she grew up balancing the high expectations of achieving success in the U.S. while honoring her Afro-Latina heritage. This experience of living between two cultures has given her a deep understanding of the complexities of identity and belonging.

In her career as an attorney, Luaskya often found herself as the only woman, the only Black person, or the only Latina in corporate settings. These experiences have not only tested her resilience but also sharpened her focus on creating more inclusive environments.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Luaskya's roots remain deeply embedded in the city. Her educational journey took her from earning a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Spanish at New York University to completing her law degree at the University of North Carolina School of Law. This educational journey, along with her years of experience as an employment lawyer, has equipped her with a diverse toolkit of skills and perspectives, enabling her to champion diversity, equity, and inclusion with both passion and expertise.

Bakery expert, business professional and author Nancy Birtwhistle has been baking for her whole life. Starting out alongside her grandmother, she honed her craft over the years eventually becoming the Season 5 winner ofThe Great British Bake Off. Now, Nancy is on a mission traveling across America to save struggling bakeries. With the help of her master carpenter, Erik Curtis, she reimagines and revamps recipes, renovates storefronts and puts passionate pastry makers on a path to success.  From Velvet Hammer Media, THE BIG BAKEOVER is executive produced by Rebecca Quinn, Jennifer O'Connell and Tim Warren.

NANCY BIRTWHISTLE BIO

There's more to Great British Bake Off 2014 winner Nancy Birtwhistle than meets the eye. Birtwhistle is a self-taught home baker who only took up baking seriously when she retired from her full-time job as a practice manager for a GP's surgery. And, like everything she turns her hand to, she became rather good at it.

Full of energy and brimming with ideas, Birtwhistle's is a force of nature and whether it's growing her own fruit and vegetables to use in her recipes, rearing poultry (including the Christmas turkey), training her dog (who made it to Crufts) or getting a degree at age 40, she doesn't do things by halves.

Born and brought up in Hull and the surrounding areas, Birtwhistle's first memories of baking are Christmas baking with her grandmother. "I now realize that she did indeed have a significant part to play in my love of baking. She was a true home baker and never used a recipe book."

Through devouring books, taking tips and inspiration from people she meets and lots and lots of trial and error,Birtwhistle has acquired an incredible breadth of baking knowledge. She loves the creativity of baking and the simple rewards of watching others enjoy something she's baked. Now a grandmother herself, Birtwhistle is determined to pass on her skills and knowledge to the next generation and show people that with a little bit of time, a lot of patience and a few simple ingredients, you really can make a perfect showstopper.

Birtwhistle is a natural teacher and can regularly be seen giving demonstrations at large-scale food events. She has appeared at The Good Food Show, The Cake and Bake Show and countless regional food festivals. She is also an accomplished speaker who is comfortable telling her story to many audiences as diverse as the Women's Institute to a room of female banking staff.

At age thirty-three, Maurice Ashley became the first Black chess Grandmaster. From his time as an immigrant kid playing matches in Brooklyn parks to the highest levels of competition, he has brought his love of the game to a wide audience as an educator, innovator, and motivational speaker.

Using both personal examples and anecdotes from other notable chess players, MOVE BY MOVE guides readers through the essential lessons that chess has taught Ashley about life including:

- Seeing from the other person's viewpoint
- Balancing sacrifices and risks
- Embracing chaos
- Learning from imperfections

In short chapters with practical takeaways, this book reaches from the fundamental to the counterintuitive on subjects ranging from self-knowledge to strategic thinking to the importance of failure. This little book of wisdom is the perfect gift for anyone interested in understanding how lessons from the most famous and long-lasting game of strategy can help you reach your personal and professional goals.

ABOUT MAURICE ASHLEY

Maurice Ashley is a Chess Grandmaster, an ESPN commentator, a three-time national championship coach, and an author. In 1999 he earned the title of Chess Grandmaster, making him the first Black Grandmaster in the game's history, and in 2016 he was inducted into the US Chess Hall of Fame. He lives in Florida.

ABOUT MOVE BY MOVE 

This is a collection of the most compelling life lessons chess has taught me over the past forty years. You'll learn how to build a winner's mentality, how to analyze backwards to solve problems, why learning through loss is a key path to greatness, how to balance sacrifices and risk, and more. And maybe, most importantly, you'll learn that to get to the top of the mountain, you must first conquer yourself. I hope these lessons change your life the way they have changed mine.

You'll discover why inside the pages of this book.

Grasping this concept will change your life. It will also make you uncomfortable.

You might even have a eureka moment and say Aha!

How are we the dam?

We regulate our inflow and outflow. We are constantly filling ourselves up or draining ourselves of our reserves, or a combination of both.

We are simply the flow of energy through us.

How we regulate it is everything...

That's what you'll discover as you read this book. How to manage inflow and outflow.

• How to get rid of burnout.
• Reduce overwhelm.
• Regulate your emotions.

When we find the proper balance between being filled up and pouring out that is sustainable, we have achieved the sweet spot.

You'll discover why inside the pages of this book.

Grasping this concept will change your life. It will also make you uncomfortable.

You might even have a eureka moment and say Aha!

How are we the dam?

We regulate our inflow and outflow. We are constantly filling ourselves up or draining ourselves of our reserves, or a combination of both.

We are simply the flow of energy through us.

How we regulate it is everything...

That's what you'll discover as you read this book. How to manage inflow and outflow.

• How to get rid of burnout.
• Reduce overwhelm.
• Regulate your emotions.

When we find the proper balance between being filled up and pouring out that is sustainable, we have achieved the sweet spot.

Growing up in a family that attended church regularly, he developed a love for music at an early age. His passion for music grew as he was involved in high school choir before graduating in 2005. After a brief period at Bible College, McKenzie decided to embark on a music career. 

After winning Arkansas Idol in 2012, Zach decided to audition for the 12th season of American Idol that same year. Judges Mariah Carey, Randy Jackson, Nikki Minaj, and Keith Urban unanimously voted to send him to Hollywood. However, he was sent home on group day. 

For the last fifteen years, Zach has performed in restaurants and bars in Nashville and all across the state of Arkansas. Although mostly known as a solo act, he has fronted several bands throughout the years. Having released singles and albums with various groups, McKenzie has also released two independent solo albums and several singles. His musical style encompasses Country, Soul, and Gospel. With his strength being a vocalist, he is also a songwriter and acoustic guitarist. 

Aside from music, McKenzie loves movies and has an interest in filmmaking. In 2022, he made his screenwriting and directorial debut with the short film, Joanett Road. 

McKenzie identifies as a Christian and is known by his family and friends as a nice guy that you wouldn't mind having as a next door neighbor. 

Although, not known for being outspoken or opinionated, he has a lot to say through his soulful raspy singing voice and relatable songwriting.

The story of U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Michael Ollis, who became an international hero for his courage and selflessness.

Ever since he was a young boy growing up on the streets of Staten Island, New York, Michael Ollis wanted to be a soldier. Inspired by his father, who fought in Vietnam, Mike’s deep desire to serve was cemented on the day his beloved city was attacked. From 9/11 onward, Mike’s one and only mission was to save lives.

After two tense combat deployments, Staff Sergeant Michael Ollis earned the US Army’s coveted Ranger tab and set his sights on the perilous mountains of eastern Afghanistan. On August 28, 2013, Mike was suddenly caught in the middle of a massive and unprecedented Taliban assault on a coalition military base. Rather than retreat to his bunker, Mike decided to fight. He then encountered a Polish army officer who needed his help.

Despite being surrounded by enemy fighters while running low on ammunition, Mike promised the foreign soldier that no matter what, he would have his back. For his final act of bravery, Staff Sergeant Michael Ollis would not only receive the Distinguished Service Cross from his own country, but the highest honor that Poland can bestow upon an allied soldier.

As an American warrior, Staff Sergeant Michael Ollis had all of our backs. This vivid and visceral account of Mike’s selfless 24-year journey will motivate us to “live like Mike” by always putting family, friends and country first.

MICHAEL RAPAPORT BIO (FROM IMDB)

A New Yorker through and through, Michael Rapaport was born on March 20, 1970, in Manhattan, to June Brody, a radio personality, and David Rapaport, a radio program manager. He is of Polish Jewish and Russian Jewish descent.

Rapaport moved to Los Angeles to try stand-up comedy following high school graduation (which came after a series of expulsions), but he never lost, forgot or deserted his New York roots. It's embedded in his work and is a major part of his low-keyed charm and ongoing appeal. His early idols were also New Yorkers (Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken, etc.).

Within a short amount of time Michael moved from the live comedy stage to working in front of a camera. The two developed an immediate rapport. A guest spot on the TV series China Beach (1988) led to a starring role in the quirky interracial indie Zebrahead (1992), which clinched it for him. This, in turn, led to a string of standout parts in films, such as Christian Slater's pal in True Romance (1993), an edgy collegiate-turned-skinhead in Higher Learning (1995) and a sympathetic none-too-bright boxer in Woody Allen's Mighty Aphrodite (1995), all enabling him to build up a higher profile.

In later years, Michael managed to show his ease at offbeat comedy, demonstrating a kid-like, goofy charm as Lisa Kudrow's cop boyfriend for a few episodes on Friends (1994) and as teacher Danny Hanson on Boston Public (2000).

He later formed his own production company, Release Entertainment, in search of that one big breakout role that could nab top stardom for him. In later years, his offbeat character leads included an inducted mafioso in Kiss Toledo Goodbye (1999); a hit man in the action comedy A Good Night to Die (2003); a comic book fanatic in the sci-fi comedy Special (2006); a trouble-making buddy in crime drama Inside Out (2011); a man helping out his former gangster neighbor in the dramedy Once Upon a Time in Queens (2013); and a married guy trying to get his mojo back in the comedy My Man Is a Loser (2014). For the most part, however, he served extremely well in support of other prominent stars with weird-to-bizarre featured roles for Woody Allen in his crime comedy Small Time Crooks (2000); for Arnold Schwarzenegger in the futuristic actioneer The 6th Day (2000); for Will Smith in the romantic /comedy Hitch (2005); for Ray Romano and Kevin James in the comedy crimer Grilled (2006); for Billy Bob Thornton in the action comedy The Baytown Outlaws (2012); for Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy in the crime comedy The Heat (2013); and for Tom Hanks in the biopic Sully (2016).

Rapaport married writer Nicole Beatty in 2000 and divorced seven years later after having two children. In 2016, he married actress Kebe Dunn.

Asher HaVon, a 31-year-old soulful gospel and R&B artist from Selma, Ala., was named champion of "The Voice" Season 25.

HaVon faced off against a chorus of formidable competitors. Other finalists this season included teammate Josh Sanders from Team Reba, Bryan Olesen and Nathan Chester from Team Legend, and Karen Waldrup from Team Dan + Shay.

In his Blind Audition, HaVon showed off his gospel choir roots with a powerful rendition of Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain," which had Reba, Chance and Dan + Shay campaigning for him. He ultimately chose to join Team Reba, where he and teammate Alyssa Crosby performed a rousing duet of Tina Turner's "We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)" during the Battle Round. In the Knockout round, he had all the coaches on their feet during a showstopping performance of Toni Braxton's "Unbreak My Heart." During both rounds, Reba choseHaVon to move on while his teammates were quickly stolen by other coaches. During the Playoffs, HaVon gave the audience chills with an emotional rendition of David Guetta and Sia's "Titanium," securing a spot in the Top 12. In the first live show, he performed "I'll Make Love to You" byBoyz II Men, wowing with his technical ability.

During the semifinals, HaVon joined Madison Curbelo and Serenity Arce for a haunting trio performance of "Fix You" by Coldplay and then stepped outside his comfort zone with his version of Beyoncé's massive hit "Irreplaceable." On Monday night's telecast, HaVoncontinued to impress the coaches and viewers alike with an up-tempo live performance of "Last Dance" by Donna Summer as well as a down-tempo performance of "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston.

Before being crowned the winner at the conclusion of tonight's finale, HaVon was joined on stage by coach Reba McEntire for a soulful duet of "On My Own," by Patti LaBelle and Michael McDonald.

Following her first win, coach Reba McEntire will return to "The Voice" Season 26 as the reigning champ, alongside new coaches Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé and returning coach Gwen Stefani.

HaVon's presence on the show's social media platforms this season garnered immense popularity. His performances accumulated 11.6 million views across "The Voice" pages on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube.

Growing up in Selma, HaVon was surrounded by gospel singers. Asher's mom, whom he likes to call his singing sergeant, really pushed him to sing at a young age. His first major performance came in 2015 when President Obama came to Selma for a speech commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery in honor of African-American civil rights. Asher auditioned for a spot in the choir that was set to perform John Legend and Common's song "Glory."

Asher HaVon, a 31-year-old soulful gospel and R&B artist from Selma, Ala., was named champion of "The Voice" Season 25.

HaVon faced off against a chorus of formidable competitors. Other finalists this season included teammate Josh Sanders from Team Reba, Bryan Olesen and Nathan Chester from Team Legend, and Karen Waldrup from Team Dan + Shay.

In his Blind Audition, HaVon showed off his gospel choir roots with a powerful rendition of Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain," which had Reba, Chance and Dan + Shay campaigning for him. He ultimately chose to join Team Reba, where he and teammate Alyssa Crosby performed a rousing duet of Tina Turner's "We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)" during the Battle Round. In the Knockout round, he had all the coaches on their feet during a showstopping performance of Toni Braxton's "Unbreak My Heart." During both rounds, Reba choseHaVon to move on while his teammates were quickly stolen by other coaches. During the Playoffs, HaVon gave the audience chills with an emotional rendition of David Guetta and Sia's "Titanium," securing a spot in the Top 12. In the first live show, he performed "I'll Make Love to You" byBoyz II Men, wowing with his technical ability.

During the semifinals, HaVon joined Madison Curbelo and Serenity Arce for a haunting trio performance of "Fix You" by Coldplay and then stepped outside his comfort zone with his version of Beyoncé's massive hit "Irreplaceable." On Monday night's telecast, HaVoncontinued to impress the coaches and viewers alike with an up-tempo live performance of "Last Dance" by Donna Summer as well as a down-tempo performance of "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston.

Before being crowned the winner at the conclusion of tonight's finale, HaVon was joined on stage by coach Reba McEntire for a soulful duet of "On My Own," by Patti LaBelle and Michael McDonald.

Following her first win, coach Reba McEntire will return to "The Voice" Season 26 as the reigning champ, alongside new coaches Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé and returning coach Gwen Stefani.

HaVon's presence on the show's social media platforms this season garnered immense popularity. His performances accumulated 11.6 million views across "The Voice" pages on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube.

Growing up in Selma, HaVon was surrounded by gospel singers. Asher's mom, whom he likes to call his singing sergeant, really pushed him to sing at a young age. His first major performance came in 2015 when President Obama came to Selma for a speech commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery in honor of African-American civil rights. Asher auditioned for a spot in the choir that was set to perform John Legend and Common's song "Glory." The choir director was so blown away that he chose Asher to lead the choir that day, performing in front of 200,000 people.

For the last four decades Elma has been healing and empowering artists at all ages and stages of their lives and careers

In 1986, Elma became the Founding Director of The Juilliard School’s Counseling Services. She created the first of its kind, on-campus, fully staffed psychotherapy facility, offering unlimited, confidential sessions to serve the entire graduate and post-graduate student body. The Juilliard School’s Counseling Services remains the only mental health service in the world for performing arts students in an independent performing arts institution. Elma has continued to serve The Juilliard School as a clinical and organizational consultant.

Director Tim Chey (‘Freedom’ and ‘David and Goliath’) Teams with Epoch Studios to Bring Powerful Redemption Story to Theaters August 2024 

Based on a powerful true story of finding hope in
the face of death, celebrated Christian filmmaker Tim Chey is bringing to
theaters The Firing Squad, an inspiring movie about three convicted criminals,
portrayed by acclaimed actors Kevin Sorbo (“God’s Not Dead” and “Let There Be
Light”) and Cuba Gooding, Jr. (“Jerry Maguire”), alongside breakout star James
Barrington, who are sentenced to death in an Indonesian prison in 2015. This
powerful story is set to impact audiences nationwide in August 2024.
The Firing Squad delves into the harrowing journey of three men who find
themselves on the brink of execution. As the countdown to their deaths begins,
a remarkable sequence of events unfolds, revealing the transformative power of
faith and the hope that transcends earthly trials. The men’s journey of
redemption doesn’t stop at personal salvation; it ignites a spiritual revolution
within the prison camp, guiding the souls of the most hardened criminals
toward the loving embrace of Christ.

Known for his compelling and faith-driven narratives, Chey hopes The Firing
Squad will leave a lasting impact on audiences worldwide. "At its core, this film is a story of courage, resilience and the transformative power of salvation through Jesus Christ," said Chey. "I’m an evangelist first and a filmmaker second. Beyond mere entertainment, I pray the film will serve as a catalyst for introspection, compelling audiences to embrace the grace and love of Jesus Christ.”

Lead Cast: Kevin Sorbo, known for his impactful roles in faith-based films, takes on the
role of Pastor Lynbrook. His performance resonates with authenticity and
passion.

Cuba Gooding, Jr. embodies Samuel Wilson, another inmate facing
imminent execution. Gooding, Jr. shared that his experience making this film
became more than an acting job; it was a life-altering experience that drew
him closer to Christ. James Barrington portrays convicted drug dealer-turned-Christian Peter Lone with remarkable vulnerability and strength.

Sorbo, a vocal advocate for Christian entertainment, has emphasized the
importance of supporting faith-based projects like The Firing Squad. "In today's entertainment landscape, it's crucial that we rally behind projects that
uphold Christian values and share stories of faith," said Sorbo. "We have a battle
to win in Hollywood. Films like this are powerful tools for spreading messages of
hope and inspiration."

Cuba Gooding Jr. shared, “Our nation, let alone the entire world, has appeared to
move away from God in so many areas of society. It’s time for us to get back to
our faith. Our film ‘The Firing Squad’ was the first script I’ve read in a very long
time that reminded me we are all surrounded by God’s love and that His faith is
eternal. It’s a story of redemption, the likes of which I’ve not seen in a very long
time.”

Marking Epoch Studios’ first foray into faith-based cinema, The Firing Squad is a
testament to the redemption available to all through Jesus Christ. The film is set
to hit theaters nationwide on August 2, 2024. For more information and

About Epoch Studios 

Epoch Studios is a division of The Epoch Times, the fastest-growing
independent nonpartisan news media in the country, dedicated to truthful
reporting. Epoch Studios is the co-producer of The Firing Squad movie.

In the darkest of hours, two American drug dealers undergo a spiritual
metamorphosis, their hearts touched and forever changed by the profound
embrace of Christianity, moments before facing their own execution. Their
journey of redemption doesn’t stop at personal salvation; it ignites a spiritual
revolution within the prison camp, guiding the souls of the most hardened
criminals toward the loving embrace of Christ. The film concludes with a
profoundly stirring finale.

The Firing Squad is a true story of redemption, reminding us that we all face a
“firing squad” – a challenge – in our lives, and yet with faith, that challenge can
lead us to life. Beyond mere entertainment, the film is a catalyst for
introspection, compelling audiences to contemplate life's profound questions
and prompting them to explore the true meaning of existence itself. With the majority of the production team members and cast sharing their Christian faith, this film stands as a testament to the transformative power of belief and the resounding echoes of salvation.

He began his acting career at a young age and quickly established himself as a talented performer with a range of skills that allowed him to tackle various roles.

Director Tim Chey (‘Freedom’ and ‘David and Goliath’) Teams with Epoch Studios to Bring Powerful Redemption Story to Theaters August 2024 

Based on a powerful true story of finding hope in
the face of death, celebrated Christian filmmaker Tim Chey is bringing to
theaters The Firing Squad, an inspiring movie about three convicted criminals,
portrayed by acclaimed actors Kevin Sorbo (“God’s Not Dead” and “Let There Be
Light”) and Cuba Gooding, Jr. (“Jerry Maguire”), alongside breakout star James
Barrington, who are sentenced to death in an Indonesian prison in 2015. This
powerful story is set to impact audiences nationwide in August 2024.
The Firing Squad delves into the harrowing journey of three men who find
themselves on the brink of execution. As the countdown to their deaths begins,
a remarkable sequence of events unfolds, revealing the transformative power of
faith and the hope that transcends earthly trials. The men’s journey of
redemption doesn’t stop at personal salvation; it ignites a spiritual revolution
within the prison camp, guiding the souls of the most hardened criminals
toward the loving embrace of Christ.

Known for his compelling and faith-driven narratives, Chey hopes The Firing
Squad will leave a lasting impact on audiences worldwide. "At its core, this film is a story of courage, resilience and the transformative power of salvation through Jesus Christ," said Chey. "I’m an evangelist first and a filmmaker second. Beyond mere entertainment, I pray the film will serve as a catalyst for introspection, compelling audiences to embrace the grace and love of Jesus Christ.”

Lead Cast: Kevin Sorbo, known for his impactful roles in faith-based films, takes on the
role of Pastor Lynbrook. His performance resonates with authenticity and
passion.

Cuba Gooding, Jr. embodies Samuel Wilson, another inmate facing
imminent execution. Gooding, Jr. shared that his experience making this film
became more than an acting job; it was a life-altering experience that drew
him closer to Christ. James Barrington portrays convicted drug dealer-turned-Christian Peter Lone with remarkable vulnerability and strength.

Sorbo, a vocal advocate for Christian entertainment, has emphasized the
importance of supporting faith-based projects like The Firing Squad. "In today's entertainment landscape, it's crucial that we rally behind projects that
uphold Christian values and share stories of faith," said Sorbo. "We have a battle
to win in Hollywood. Films like this are powerful tools for spreading messages of
hope and inspiration."

Cuba Gooding Jr. shared, “Our nation, let alone the entire world, has appeared to
move away from God in so many areas of society. It’s time for us to get back to
our faith. Our film ‘The Firing Squad’ was the first script I’ve read in a very long
time that reminded me we are all surrounded by God’s love and that His faith is
eternal. It’s a story of redemption, the likes of which I’ve not seen in a very long
time.”

Marking Epoch Studios’ first foray into faith-based cinema, The Firing Squad is a
testament to the redemption available to all through Jesus Christ. The film is set
to hit theaters nationwide on August 2, 2024. For more information and

As the founder of the Welcome to Humanity movement, and the True Voice Mastermind and methodology, Dr. Fred now finds himself making the difference he came here to make. His years in the community, where he has been a physician to over 40,000 patients, and his storied and adventurous life traveling around the world has left him uniquely qualified to remind us of what we already know. Communication is where love arises from, and speaking the truth and listening authentically is the source of that love.

Dr. Fred is married to his dream partner, Alexandra, and lives in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas in Northern California. He is the proud father of two beautiful children in Texas and is owned collectively by his three cats, Valentino, Despacito, and Winston.

He is the author of "Creative 8 - Healing Through Creativity and Self-Expression" and "Find Your True Voice!". He has written many articles for Psychology Today. Also, he has won an award for the best essay at the 2019 Conference for Global Transformation, titled "Global Madness, What Must Happen to Unite.”

Fred has also led many courses in True Voice Podcasting, taking people from zipped-lip to podcaster in 12 short weeks. His most recent course is titled "True Voice Course" and is intended to help people who know they have something to say, to rediscover what that really is and get it out into the world. His most recent work is centered around the healing of the healers, aptly named Healing the Healer. The brilliant virtual course reminds the transitioning healers of the world that are released from their official position of a doctor, nurse, social worker, or clinician of any type, which may not be the trauma that they are likely feeling. In fact, it may be an opportunity to reset, rediscover and reenter the healing world in a new capacity, profoundly more aligned with themselves than they have ever been. A mastermind of like-minded individuals is also offered to capitalize on the essential power of community to assist when making significant paradigmatic shifts.

Caroline Cole is an entrepreneur, activist, and trauma-focused women's transformation coach. At 14 years old, Caroline was sent to a lock-down behavior modification facility where she would stay for 29 months and encounter some of the most horrifying deprivations of human rights.

HOOP ATLAS: Mapping the Remarkable Transformation of the Modern NBA (Mariner Books; on sale May 7) is written by by Kirk Goldsberry, the bestselling author of Sprawlball and one of the leading experts in basketball analytics.

HOOP ATLAS examines how a handful of superstars have reshaped the sport over the past three decades and charted the course to the future of the NBA. Every few years, a special talent emerges and completely shakes up our understanding of how the NBA is supposed to operate. Whether it's their scoring ability, playmaking skills, or shooting prowess, these players and their tactics fundamentally challenge the traditional norms of the game and redefine what it means to be great on the court. For a period of time, these players each become an "Atlas" for the league, carrying the weight of the NBA on their shoulders while also paving the way for the future of the sport. Together, they map out the modern NBA's creation.

HOOP ATLAS showcases the "Atlas" players whose influence has revolutionized the league and reframed greatness, from Michael Jordan to LeBron James to Nikola Jokic, with stops along the way for Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, and Steph Curry. As Goldsberry writes, "NBA superstars don't just dominate the league; some of them bend it to their will and transform aspects of gameplay."

Revealing the ways in which these players have dramatically impacted the game, Goldsberry does a deep dive into the dominant trends of the modern NBA, including:

· an unprecedented increase in offensive efficiency with shooting percentages now higher than ever

· the corner 3 revolution which has changed the geography of the court

· the rise in talent from abroad and how international stars have imported new moves and elevated gameplay

· the recalibration of the center position by hyper-skilled playmaking big men who can do it all

A vibrant new way to compare and debate the contributions of the best NBA players of all-time, HOOP ATLAS masterfully connects NBA past and present, providing a unique graphic journey through the transformation of the best basketball league in the world. With its captivating visuals and compelling storytelling, the book is as much fun to look at as it is to read. A "must-have" for basketball enthusiasts, HOOP ATLAS will leave readers with a deeper appreciation for the game and the players who have influenced it.

In the next decade, NASA intends to send astronauts to Mars for the first time. To succeed, crew members must overcome unprecedented life-threatening challenges. And while many of these hazards are physical, the most elusive are psychological. Throughout their three-year absence, crew members won't be able to communicate with Earth in real time due to the immense distance. The psychological impact of this level of disconnectedness and isolation-both from mission control and loved ones-is impossible to predict, endangering the mission itself. Directed to mitigate this threat is Dr. Al Holland, a NASA psychologist whose job is to keep astronauts mentally stable in space. Space: The Longest Goodbye follows Holland, rookie astronauts Kayla Barron and Matthias Maurer, and former astronaut Cady Coleman, among others, as they grapple with the tension between their dream of reaching new frontiers and their basic human need to stay connected to home. This conflict transcends space travel: how do humans balance the quest for progress with a deep connection to history and each other?

Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63KKJM4aOtE 

DR. CADY COLEMAN BIO

Dr. Cady Coleman is a former NASA Astronaut and Air Force Colonel with more than 180 days in space, accumulated during two space shuttle missions and a six-month expedition to the International Space Station (ISS), where she acted as the Lead Robotics and Lead Science officer.

Cady is a vocal advocate for inclusion in STEM/STEAM fields and a sought after speaker on a wide range of topics. She recently co-anchored ABC News Live's coverage of the SpaceX launch and the Perseverance Mars Rover landing. Other speaking highlights include the opening speech for TED 2011 from space, extensive NASA commentary for CNN, ABC and Fox and TED Unplugged 2019.

Cady is the Global Explorer in Residence at Arizona State University and co-host of the podcast Mission: Interplanetary. She's also a research affiliate at the MIT Media Lab. Cady consults on space-related work for research and for the media. She serves on several boards, including the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, Greenfield Community College and Dent the Future.

Cady lives in Western Massachusetts with her husband Josh Simpson, a glass artist, and their two sons. She is an amateur flute player, known for her "Space Duet" with Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull and her work from space with the acclaimed Irish band, The Chieftains. She coached actress Sandra Bullock from the ISS in preparation for Bullock's astronaut role in Gravity.

Shannon served as a Navy cryptologic technician, responsible for signals intelligence and electronic warfare, but her proficiency with language set her apart. She was assigned to a unit so secretive that its name can’t even be printed here, where she worked clandestinely to hunt the most wanted terrorists in the world.

Send Me is Shannon’s heroic life story, revealing the truth of both her work and the challenges she faced while trying to raise a family with her husband Joe, himself a Special Forces soldier. He and Shannon met in a war zone, their love forged during a special operations training course, their dedication spanning multiple combat deployments and the birth of their two boys.

It is the legacy of an extraordinary woman who rose to the apex of the military, working with the most elite forces in the world, lifting the veil from the life of a Special Forces family to share their duty, sacrifice, and humanity.

Shannon served as a Navy...
Shannon served as a Navy cryptologic technician, responsible for signals intelligence and electronic warfare, but her proficiency with language set her apart. She was assigned to a unit so secretive that its name can’t even be printed here, where she worked clandestinely to hunt the most wanted terrorists in the world.

Send Me is Shannon’s heroic life story, revealing the truth of both her work and the challenges she faced while trying to raise a family with her husband Joe, himself a Special Forces soldier. He and Shannon met in a war zone, their love forged during a special operations training course, their dedication spanning multiple combat deployments and the birth of their two boys.

It is the legacy of an extraordinary woman who rose to the apex of the military, working with the most elite forces in the world, lifting the veil from the life of a Special Forces family to share their duty, sacrifice, and humanity.

Soulmate Dog tells the brave, moving story of Michelle Slater’s extraordinary relationship with her German Shepherd, Brady. Narrated by Alison Larkin in an easy-to-listen-to, conversational style, it “charts the nature of love and the inevitability of loss that accompanies it,” while showcasing the telepathic language that can exist between dogs and humans.

In this brave, beautiful book, the author also sheds light on the important field of integrative veterinary medicine.

Cover Design by: Lisa Cavender

Audiobook available for $25. A portion of the profits from the sale of this audiobook will go to The Brady Scholarship, supporting training and wider availability for holistic veterinary care.

Michelle Slater is a scholar of comparative literature and president of the educational nonprofit Mayapple Center for the Arts and Humanities in Connecticut. She holds a Ph.D. in French literature from Johns Hopkins University.

Her long battle with and recovery from late-stage neurological Lyme disease served as the genesis for this book. Debilitated by the disease to the extent that she was no longer able to teach at her university or perform simple tasks like driving and reading, Slater spent several years pursuing every known treatment, from aggressive allopathic methods to holistic remedies. When all failed to deliver recovery, she discovered Dr. Sergey Filonov’s dry fasting program and spent two months in Siberia under his care. She recovered completely from Lyme disease, regaining her memory and returning to researching, writing, hiking, and running.

Since 2017, she has not experienced a single symptom.

Bio

Warren Kozak was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin in 1951, the third of four children. He was educated in the public schools there and attended the University of Wisconsin – Madison, where he graduated in 1973 with a degree in Political Science.

“I think my mid-western upbringing in the 1950s and ‘60s, gave me a solid and positive guide for the rest of my life.”

When he was eight years old, he discovered television network news (probably while looking for cartoons) and was mesmerized by it. His first job after college was as a political researcher at ABC News in New York. He would eventually become the writer for the major anchors at the network and worked as an on-air reporter at National Public Radio in Washington.

Warren is the author of four highly acclaimed works of non-fiction and is a regular essayist on a wide variety of issues for national publications including The Wall Street Journal, The National Review and The New York Sun.

He has lectured at the Air Force Academy, West Point, the National Air and Space Conference in Washington and the 92nd St. Y in New York.

Warren lived and worked in Beijing China in the mid- 1980s and traveled extensively throughout Asia. In 1993, he won a Benton Fellowship at the University of Chicago.

He now makes his home in New York.

Being brought up in a faithful home that featured his father, a be-bop pianist, and his mother a culture sharing creative, his influences are far and wide both musically, philosophically, and spiritually. It was that broad pallet from which to draw on that has inspired his differing shades of music from album to album.

The title track lyric from 2020's 'Pray On' reveals an optimistic element that runs throughout the body of his work.

Peace lies in the heart of the believer
Calm lies in the hands of compassion
Love lies in the words of the one who'll pray on, so pray on
ⓒ 2020 Eddy Mann (from the Pray On album) 

In Eddy's words, "I'm driven to write, to record, and to perform by the opportunity to bring a smile, a light, or just a moment of peace to someone in need. That's why I get up each day, that's my part to play in this story, and that's why I'll continue to write about my experiences getting through each day."

Being brought up in a faithful home that featured his father, a be-bop pianist, and his mother a culture sharing creative, his influences are far and wide both musically, philosophically, and spiritually. It was that broad pallet from which to draw on that has inspired his differing shades of music from album to album.

The title track lyric from 2020's 'Pray On' reveals an optimistic element that runs throughout the body of his work.

Peace lies in the heart of the believer
Calm lies in the hands of compassion
Love lies in the words of the one who'll pray on, so pray on
ⓒ 2020 Eddy Mann (from the Pray On album) 

In Eddy's words, "I'm driven to write, to record, and to perform by the opportunity to bring a smile, a light, or just a moment of peace to someone in need. That's why I get up each day, that's my part to play in this story, and that's why I'll continue to write about my experiences getting through each day."

Throughout her illustrious career, the award-winning, four-time Grammy-balloted recording artist has built an impressive list of accomplishments, including scoring over twenty No. 1 hits on charts around the world, including New Music Weekly, Roots Music Report and the European Country Music Chart, to name a few.

She is best known for her chart-topping single, “Christmas Without You” (a.k.a. “Patsy Cline’s Lost Christmas Song”), which was named by Sweden’s largest daily newspaper, Dagens Nyheter, one of the Top 25 Christmas Songs of All-time. 

Hunt, who was inducted into the Independent Superstars Country Music Hall of Fame in 2016, has been working hard at making quality music for twenty years. Her efforts paid off big time in 2007 when her CD, “Breaking Through,” produced two hit singles on U.S. and European Charts. The enchanting “Solace in The Wind” reached No. 1 on the European Country Music Association’s chart (Belgium) in July, 2010.

Additionally, the song landed on the 2009 Grammy ballot in two categories: Best Country Song and Best Female Country Performance. And it topped the Roots Music Report Folk Charts for twelve consecutive weeks in 2008.

Hunt began pursuing a professional music career in the mid-1990s. She found immediate success with her critically-acclaimed single “I Don’t Bother Counting,” which was frequently played on the former KIK FM country radio station in Orange County, California and on other stations throughout the Southwest.

Over the years, the Pennsylvania native has received numerous industry awards. Along with being a five-time Josie Music Awards nominee, Hunt is a six-time American Songwriting Awards winner and also is the recipient of three “CD of the Year” awards from the National Traditional Country Music Association (NTCMA).

Now, two years free from the grip of the disease, he finds himself undergoing a groundbreaking three-part surgical intervention at the Mayo Clinic. This pioneering procedure involves the implantation of a custom titanium hip followed by a bone lengthening operation on the femur to regain the four inches lost to hip cancer.

In addition to his triumph over cancer, he has contributed to a recently published bestseller titled "Breaking the Silence: Voices of Survivors," a testament to resilience and perseverance. Originally hailing from the United States, he has traversed the globe, eventually finding a home in New Zealand seventeen years ago.

A chance encounter at a boxing gym sparked the inception of a kettle corn business in a land where the snack was unheard of. What began modestly at weekend markets burgeoned into a thriving enterprise boasting two factories, a workforce of fifteen, and a diverse array of popcorn products.

Their market presence extended beyond New Zealand, reaching international shores in Singapore, Malaysia, and various South Pacific islands. Their brand stood proudly as the second most popular popcorn in New Zealand, a testament to their journey of trials, triumphs, and the lessons gleaned along the way.

RLETTO created his stage name in an artist development class by combining the first letter of his name with his last name and adding an "O" at the end to let the name roll off the tongue a bit better. RLETTO took on band, choir and drama early in high school and then auditioned for Berklee College of Music, where he received a scholarship that granted him 75% of his four-year program. After graduating, he started to book large music festivals, music video shoots and recording sessions to establish a name for himself, all while saving money to move to Los Angeles. RLETTO has now been in L.A. since 2022 and has had the honor of working as a talent assistant for MTV Push, Cardi B, Lil Nas X, BET and more. RLETTO discovered his love for combining melodic rap and singing, which he is excited to bring to "The Voice."

Team Legend

Hometown: Barquisimeto, Lara, Venezuela

Resident: Miami, FL

Mafe was born and raised in Barquisimeto, Venezuela, where she enjoyed adventurous family trips and a musical environment. Later, her family moved to Margarita Island, but limited opportunities hindered her passion for singing. In 2017, the family made the life-changing decision to relocate to Miami. The transition to a new life in the U.S. was challenging for Mafe and her family, but joining a choir class provided a sense of belonging and helped her overcome language barriers. After graduating with an AA degree in music performance and jazz, Mafe took a year off to determine her path in music. She currently works two jobs and saves money for recording her original music. She enjoys cooking authentic Venezuelan dishes with her mom in her free time.

Hometown and resident of Jupiter, FL

Serenity, at just 14 years old, auditioned for Season 21 but didn't get any chairs to turn. The coaches gave her feedback to practice more and grow as a vocalist. She was involved in musical theater, which Ariana appreciated and believed was a great place for vocal growth. After her audition, Serenity focused on finding her voice and taking weekly vocal lessons. She booked small gigs at local events to gain exposure and practice her skills. She now works at a local boba café to cover expenses and recently got her driver's license. Dance remains an important part of her life and she participates in a few dance teams, practicing multiple times a week.

ALYSSA CROSBY, 27

Stolen by Team Chance

Hometown and resident of Binghampton, NY

Alyssa is a self-proclaimed cat lady. When Alyssa is not performing on stage, you can usually find her at home with her fiancé, five cats and puppy. Alyssa loves to write songs and sometimes serenade her animals with her music. Having grown up around singers, Alyssa's mother had a deep connection to music and started her own karaoke business when Alyssa was just a kid. Alyssa enjoyed karaoke throughout most of her life, and when she was in her early 20s decided to start a band. Putting out an ad on Craigslist for more band members was just the start of her current band, WildCard. All the other band members are men in their 50s, but she enjoys holding her own as the only woman on the stage

Hometown: Roma, TX

Resident: New York, NY

At the age of 11, Frank appeared on the singing competition shows "Tengo Talento, Mucho Talento" and "La Voz Kids" as a Mariachi-style soloist. However, he also faced cyberbullying and assumptions about his sexuality as he was in the spotlight, making him hesitant to express himself due to his conservative upbringing. Music became his solace and he gained the confidence to embrace his true self over time. Eventually, Frank came out to his parents and received their full support. Frank's passion for music stemmed from his Grammy Award-winning musician father falling in love with Mariachi music. He performed extensively with his school's Mariachi band and cherished those experiences. During his senior year of high school in 2020, Frank became involved in social justice activism, establishing a Gay Straight Alliance chapter and organizing a successful pride festival. Frank now attends Columbia University and balances singing in his free time.

Hometown: Chicago, ILResident: Nashville, TN

Nathan was raised by his single mother since he was 3 years old and didn't see much of his father as he grew up. Despite the sporadic presence of his father in his life and the delayed introduction to his half-siblings on his father's side, Nathan has worked extremely hard to maintain connections with his entire family. His interest in playing the guitar and singing was ignited by his brother, Michael, during his childhood and in high school, his best friend introduced him to musical theater as his love for performing grew. Nathan now earns a living as a professional singer on cruise ships, allowing him to travel to countries worldwide.

"How does she do it?" marvels Daniel Aiken. While the environmental crisis fills him with rage and fear his lover and fellow activist Sarah Carson still takes joy in life. As their work becomes increasingly dangerous, a tragic accident makes him face another question: can he learn her secret-or will his heart become yet another sacrifice zone?

American Buddhist teacher Anne Sattvic's spiritual tranquility is giving way: long suppressed memories bring back the devastation caused by her sister's heroin addiction. Facing the past, Anne must decide how much of her mastery of Buddhist teaching is only a mask hiding a sacrifice of both family ties and her own ability to feel.

"Sacrifice Zone"-A Place so polluted it can never be cleaned up.

Professor of Philosophy Roger S. Gottlieb is the award-winning author or editor of 21 books of philosophy, religious studies, environmentalism, and contemporary spirituality. Morality and the Environmental Crisis received "the book most likely to save the planet" award from Independent Publisher and was semi-finalist for the Siskiyou Prize for new environmental literature. His short story collection Engaging Voices won a Nautilus Book award; as did Spirituality What it Is and Why it Matters, which was also called a "best book of the year" by Spirituality and Practice.

WATCH WHERE THEY HIDE is the upcoming new novel from Emmy Award-winning TV host and journalist, Tamron Hall.

An impressive follow-up to her acclaimed 2021 debut, As the Wicked Watch, Hall's forthcoming novel follows the gripping journey of journalist, Jordan Manning, who delves into the case of a mother in danger and uncovers a sinister web of secrets that could lead right to the missing woman-or put Jordan in the crosshairs of her abductors. With over 20 years of journalism experience, years spent reporting on crime and tragedies across the country, and her own personal experiences, Tamron is in the perfect position to pen this page-turning thriller.

ABOUT THE BOOK: After dropping her child off at preschool, Marla Hancock, a stay-at-home mother, disappears. She had recently left her verbally abusive husband in Kentucky and moved in with her sister, Shelly, who simply can't believe that her sister would ever willingly vanish without her children. But with limited support from the town's police department or media resources, Shelly fears that Marla's disappearance won't get the attention it deserves, or worse, will go unsolved. So, several weeks after filing a missing person's report, she reaches out to TV journalist Jordan Manning for help. After her investigative and reporting skills helped solve multiple murders, Jordan Manning's career in the newsroom is on the rise. She has gained a reputation as more than your typical news reporter: a "fixer" with a vigilante edge, dogged and undeterred to seek the truth. But even with this new status, Jordan still feels pressure to prove herself as a young Black professional. When Shelly reaches out, she feels compelled to do all she can to find Marla. Jordan's search twists and turns in ways she could never have imagined, illuminating scandals and secrets that place her own life in grave danger.

Rangwala states: “I did not write this book to convince anyone to feel a certain way. I wrote it so the public can finally form a view based on all the facts, and then can fairly judge who really was scandalized and who did the scandalizing.”

“My father believed in both fighting for justice and in the power of youth to be agents for positive social change. So, I was saddened by the way in which political partisanship and unchecked media tore down WE Charity, which embodies those ideals. Tawfiq Rangwala tells the untold story behind the controversy that engulfed WE in a moving and powerful way.  This beautifully written book serves as a cautionary tale for allthose who care about fair play and will open your eyes to a profound injustice that should not happen again.” 

-- Martin Luther King III, human rights activist and eldest son of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King

“Reading _What WE Lost _was an incredibly educational experience—it should be part of civics classes everywhere.  While it was painful to absorb the stories of loss in each chapter and to come to terms with the societal costs that resulted from so much misinformation, thanks to Tawfiq Rangwala’s extraordinary work, the truth is revealed.”

Some of the most influential women in sports tell their stories of courage, adversity, and triumph to trailblazer Bonnie-Jill Laflin, the first and only female NBA scout with the Los Angeles Lakers, in her new book, In A League of Her Own: Celebrating Female Firsts in Sports. A half-century after Title IX legislation leveled the playing field for women and girls, the time has come to celebrate the lives and careers of some of the most notable groundbreaking women in sports, while also encouraging future generations to make history of their own.

In a League of Her Own: Celebrating Female Firsts in Sports shares the stories of nineteen impactful women, including Billie Jean King, Rachel Balkovec, Danica Patrick, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Laila Ali, Jeanie Buss, and Mary Lou Retton and gives them a voice to share their experiences across the sports industry. These iconic women open up to Bonnie-Jill Laflin, herself a trailblazer as the first and only female NBA scout, about the sobering realities females face in the sports world and the many obstacles they had to overcome. But they also celebrate the amazing support they received from colleagues, friends, family, and the women who came before them, and impart their own desires to inspire young women through their stories. They discuss such issues as the pressures of social media, the sexism that still exists in boardrooms and locker rooms, and their hopes for closer equality in the sports space. Their journeys are each unique, but together, they have changed the face of sports and culture forever.

She is also the founder of Hounds and Heroes and Horses, a non-profit that pairs rescue dogs as service and therapy dogs with wounded warriors and veterans, as well as rescue horses as equine therapy for our recuperating service members. Working to improve the lives of veterans, she has traveled to military bases across the country and abroad on 19 USO tours, including visits to bases in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Member and former drummer of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Artimus Pyle is excited to release the Artimus Pyle Band's long-awaited album 'Anthems - Honoring The Music of Lynyrd Skynyrd.' With a total of thirteen tracks, this record features artists including Ronnie Dunn, Sammy Hagar, Lee Brice, Billy Ray Cyrus, Warren Hayes, Michael Ray, Chris Janson, LOCASH, Jerrod Niemann, Marty Raybon, Lindsay Ell, and Dolly Parton! Released by Get Joe Records and distributed by BFD/Orchard, the Artimus Pyle Band has recently made his Grand Ole Opry debut and has been featured in Forbes, Cowboys & Indians, Larry London's Border Crossings on Voice of America, RFD-TV,Huckabee, The Tennessean, and a premiere of Artimus Pyle and Dolly Parton's collaboration on "Free Bird" with Garden & Gun. This new version of "Free Bird" also includes a new guitar recording from late Lynyrd Skynyrd founding member Gary Rossington.

Fans can also order the limited edition Anthems - Honoring The Music of Lynyrd Skynyrd on vinyl by going to ArtimusPyle.com. As part of a separate limited-edition bundle, music lovers can order the CD and an autographed collector's edition drumhead. Priced at $100.00, this exclusive package includes the tribute album and a one-of-a-kind, autographed 15" drumhead featuring Artimus Pyle's logo. Limited in availability, this special offer guarantees fans a unique and collectible addition to their music memorabilia, making it a must-have while supplies last.

Renowned as the untamed force behind Lynyrd Skynyrd, Artimus Pyle's impactful double bass drumming was instrumental in defining the band's iconic sound. His breakthrough moment came at the Charlie Daniels Volunteer Jam, where his authoritative drumming, initially credited simply as "Artimus Pyle, percussion," captured widespread attention. Further establishing himself as a sought-after session drummer, Pyle connected with acts such as Charlie Daniels and the Marshall Tucker Band, eventually crossing paths with Ronnie Van Zant and Ed King at Studio One in Doraville, Georgia. This fateful encounter paved the way for the creation of Saturday Night Special, leaving an indelible mark on Ronnie. Making his live debut at Jacksonville's Sgt Pepper's Club in October 1974, Pyle assumed the role of Skynyrd's drummer following the release of Second Helping, contributing to the band's subsequent four albums, including the legendary Street Survivors. Pyle survived the band's tragic 1977 plane crash that took six lives, including Steve and Cassie Gaines, along with the band's leader, Ronnie Van Zant.

"This project has been a year in the making, but when the fans hear it they will understand why it took so long," says Len Snow, Get Joe Records president. "Artimus is legendary within the Southern Rock space. The music that Lynyrd Skynyrd made will always live as a part of rock history. This album honors that music and gives Artimus a way to honor his former bandmates."

ABOUT ARTIMUS PYLE

Following his time as a Marine Corps Sergeant from 1967 to 1971 and a short stint with Spartanburg, SC-based band Thickwood Lick, Artimus Pyle was recommended by the late Charlie Daniels and joined Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1974. He would replace their original drummer (Bob Burns) following the release of the group's second album, Second Helping, and performed with the band and on Skynyrd's subsequent four albums,Nuthin' Fancy, Gimme Back My Bullets, Street Survivors, and their live album, One More for the Road. Pyle was injured but survived the band's 1977 horrific plane crash that abruptly ended the lives of six people, including band members Steve and Cassie Gaines, and most notably, frontman and musical visionary Ronnie Van Zant.

In 1979, the band began to reunite, first for the 5th Annual Charlie Daniels Volunteer Jam, and eventually, as the Rossington Collins Band (which included all the remaining band members and Pyle, plus Dale Krantz on lead vocals and Barry Lee Harwood on guitar). However, shortly after that, Pyle was in a car accident that broke his leg in 21 places and shattered his hopes of remaining with the group. Pyle spent the next three years healing, both physically and emotionally, before returning to the States and establishing the Artimus Pyle Band (A.P.B.) to honor the music and legacy of Ronnie Van Zant.

In 1987, Pyle rejoined his former bandmates to tour and eventually record as Lynyrd Skynyrd 1991, but the experience left him flat. While he deeply loved them, he no longer felt the magic he once did with Van Zant at the helm, nor was he interested in returning to the party lifestyle for which the band was known and stepped away from the group permanently, only to return in 2006 during Lynyrd Skynyrd's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (where he played alongside Bob Burns).

Now in his 70s, Pyle still continues to honor Van Zant's musical legacy, recording and touring with the Artimus Pyle Band, now comprised of Pyle (drums), Scott Raines (guitar/vocals), Jerry Lyda (guitar) Brad Durden (keyboards/vocals), and Dave Fowler (bass).

"Ali Smith's The Ballad of Speedball Baby is a sometimes-harrowing ride poetically described in neon prose. Ali takes me to places I've been myself as a fellow 'woman of the road' and rocked and rolled. She brings it all back home so vividly with humor, originality, and love-and 'oh-yeah-that-happened-to-me-too' truthfulness. Like the touring band's rite of passage: crashing in a stranger's house in Where-am-I? USA and barely escaping with your life and bass guitar.or bartending in an East Village dive bar. It's a special experience being a Woman in Rock, and as Ali's story unfolds, she'll bring you along for the trip of your life."

-- Kate Pierson, the B-52's

A Stylist Magazine (UK) Pick of Best New Nonfiction

A Kobo Pick of Best Book of the Month in Biographies & Memoirs

The Ballad of Speedball Baby is the thrilling, darkly hilarious, and heart-wrenchingly vulnerable story of Ali Smith's coming-of-age in '90s New York as she commits to the messy, exhilarating life of a musician and must survive the slings and arrows society reserves for women who refuse to comply.

As an only child reeling from the demolition of her parents' toxic marriage, the New York City underground music scene offers a young Ali a different family of misfits and talented outsiders to belong to.

She becomes the bass player for edgy band Speedball Baby, a decision that will take her around the world-from onstage at the legendary CBGBs to the red-light district of Amsterdam. She's often the only girl in a broken-down tour van, being strip-searched at the Croatian border, chased by lunatics, and navigating the seedy underbelly of a male-dominated music scene full of addiction, violence, and misogyny-all while keeping her sharp wit and dark humor intact.

Rimmed with heavy black eyeliner and smelling faintly of cheap booze, The Ballad of Speedball Baby is a pulse-quickening, unpredictable ride through the '90s music scene-alternately terrifying, hilarious, and painfully evocative-as well as a love letter to the power of female solidarity

ALI SMITH BIO

The vibrant style Ali Smith has brought to her writing and photography-featured regularly in The New York Times, The Guardian, and other publications internationally-was forged in New York's underground music scene where she played bass in the seminal punk / blues / avant-garde band Speedball Baby. After touring worldwide and recording nine albums, Ali released two books of photography about women's lives. The first, Laws of the Bandit Queens, led to a feature on OWN, Oprah Winfrey's television network. The second,Momma Love: How the Mother Half Lives, won a Silver IPPY and an International Book Awards prize, was praised by the New York Times, and Gloria Steinem called it "a gift to moms." With a passion for telling women's stories, Ali's memoir,The Ballad of Speedball Baby, is her literary debut. Learn more at AliSmith.com and @mommaloveAli on Instagram.

Vivacious, witty, and completely unforgettable, Jackée Harry was born to entertain.

Born Jacqueline Yvonne Harry on August 14, 1956 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and reared from the age of nine in Harlem, New York, by her mother, Flossie, Jackée landed the lead role of the King in her school's production of The King and I at the tender age of fourteen. Upon graduation from New York City's High School of Music and Art with a distinction in Opera, Jackée attended the University of Long Island, where she earned her B.A. in education.

Jackée began her career as a history teacher at Brooklyn Technical High School but left after two years to pursue acting. She studied at the Henry Street Settlement on the Lower East Side and made her professional acting debut in 1973 in Richard Wesley's Goin' Through Changes; not long afterward, she made her Broadway debut in A Broadway Musical as Melinda Bernard. Other Broadway performances include The Wiz, Eubie!, and One Mo' Time.

In 1983, Jackée made her first television appearance opposite Morgan Freeman in the daytime soap operaAnother World. A year later, she landed her iconic role of Sandra Clark on the NBC sitcom 227. As the breakout star of the series, Jackée became the first African American to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series and was also nominated for a Golden Globe. Her performance on227 inspired NBC producers to create a television pilot for her entitled Jackée. After departing from 227 in 1989, she starred opposite Oprah Winfrey in the critically acclaimed adaptation of Gloria Naylor's novelThe Women of Brewster Place.

In 1991, Jackée joined an all-star cast led by Della Reese when she played the role of Ruth 'CoCo' Royal in The Royal Family. From 1994-1999, she starred as the adoptive mother of Tia and Tamara Mowry's characters on the ABC/WB sitcom Sister, Sister, winning the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for two consecutive years in 1999 and 2000. Jackée also made guest appearances onAmen, Designing Women, Dave's World, Hollywood Squares, 7th Heaven, and That's So Raven, before joining the cast of Everybody Hates Chris in 2006.

Hollywood success did not lead Jackée to turn her back on theater; in 1994 she returned to the stage as Billie Holiday in Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill followed by stints in For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide and The Vagina Monologues. In 2003 she played the role of the Madam in The Boys From Syracuse on Broadway. Jackée also performed before sold-out audiences across the nation in the stage play The Cleanup Woman, which is called "one of the highest grossing gospel stage plays of all time" and fronted an Off-Broadway limited-run of NEWSical: The Musical.

Beyond acting, Jackée is a vocal champion of healthy living, education, and philanthropy. She is proud to be a spokesperson for the Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund, and a Global Ambassador to the Women's International Center. The National Congress of Black Women presented her with the "Woman of Substance" Award in 2010.

In addition to recurring roles on Let's Stay Together, Baby Daddy, Girl Meets World, and The Cool Kids, Jackée starred on the CW's The First Family and OWN'sThe Paynes. She was nominated for a Nollywood and African Film Critics Award for her role in the motion picture The Man in 3B.

In 2019, Jackée participated in a groundbreaking reimagining of Norman Lear's The Jeffersons, which garnered more than 22 million viewers. In 2021, she rejoined the world of daytime television as real estate mogul Paulina Price on Days of our Lives.

Larger than life and twice as funny, Jackée continues to entertain and inspire in a way that permanently cements her place in the American cultural landscape.

ABOUT DAYS OF OUR LIVES ON PEACOCK

For the past 58 years, Days of our Lives has remained a staple daytime drama. It has weathered political and societal shifts since the mid-1960s and proudly introduced its first Black family, the Grants, in the mid-1970s. Its female heroine, Valerie Grant, shared daytime's first interracial kiss in 1977. Today, Black stories continue to be front and center, addressing societal issues including healthcare, family and career.

Today's cast includes James Reynolds, with Jackée Harry, Raven Bowens, Elia Cantu, and features Lamon Archey and Sal Stowers as "Eli" and "Lani" respectively, who were the couple in the show's first Black wedding.

In a professional career that has spanned parts of five decades, Ray has pivoted on many occasions, from investment banking to pharmaceuticals, from consumer electronics to SaaS software. One constant throughout his career path, however, has been storytelling.

In the past, Ray has been a frequent source for quotes from the national media on both the consumer electronics and retail industries. Additionally, as a contributor to a number of online outlets and platforms, including his rayhartjen.com site, he has spun his fair share of yarn on topics as far ranging as sports — primarily football, hockey and auto racing — and business, particularly revenue team functions like sales and marketing. Ray’s previous work includes being the coauthor of Immaculate: How the Steelers Saved Pittsburgh, published in 2022 by Morgan James Publishing and available at all major booksellers.

Diagnosed with multiple myeloma in March of 2019, Ray is a cancer fighter every day of the week that ends in a ‘y.’ And, with the soundtrack of life playing continuously in his head, Ray also performs and records with his two-piece acoustic band, the Chronic Padres.

A native of Texas, Ray holds an undergraduate degree from Eastern Kentucky University and an MBA from the University of Washington.

So what is the answer to generating more leads? Nothing less than fresh, original, and engaging content. But who's got time to create content, much less launch it across every platform in the appropriate format?

The answer? A customer-focused, tactical, technology-driven plan for radical content creation and repurposing that will land your content on Page 1 of Google.

Atiba de Souza is the Content Superman. Decades of running an exclusive agency combined with hardcore technical skills -- I'm talking CODE, people, REAL CODE! -- have made him one of the few people with the skills and insight to marry emerging software and Google’s algorithm with an intuitive feel for the culture of every social media platform.

His clients call him the SEO Super Sleuth, the Business Ninja, the “Build Your Team” Guru, and the Super Connector!

He was killing Search Engine Optimization (SEO) before the term was even invented, ranking regional and national brands in the US on page 1 of Google for over 15 years.

His content strategies are not just bells and whistles; his vision is inspiring and his voice is thunderous in the B2B SEO space.

Kasim Aslam, owner of the #1 rated Google Ads Agency in the US was blown away by his tech-backed ingenious process, “Nobody else is doing this. You’ve got stuff people need to hear, ” he told him.

Not even the best of the best can say that they ranked more than 3000 pages on the first page of Google results while helping companies enjoy qualified leads.

Atiba’s experience and insights are so mind-boggling that Lauren Petrullo of Mongoose Media believes that there is “brilliance oozing out of his pores”

This Superman CEO of a Video Marketing Agency has been featured on many renowned platforms including Traffic & Conversion Summitt, Digital Marketer Blog, Fox, Digital Journals, The Times, & USA Today.

It's time to grab the content marketing bull by the horns! And Atiba is your man.

DEAD MAN'S HAND: A Pike Logan Novel (William Morrow; January 23, 2024; $32.00), the eighteenth entry into New York Times bestselling author Brad Taylor's longstanding Pike Logan series, features authentic operational details that will stun even the most prolific military thriller reader. Leaning on his over two decades of service in the Army, Taylor delivers his most timely and prescient thriller to date, pitting Pike Logan and the Taskforce against Putin and his henchman in an all-too-real scenario that could be ripped from today's headlines.

To finally end the war between their nations, a rogue band of Ukranian partisans known as the Wolves teams up with members of Russia's military intelligence to assassinate Vladimir Putin.

But Putin is aware of the traitors in his midst and assigns the loyal commander of the Russian national guard to root them out. It's a mission Victor Petrov is expected to undertake after he prevents Sweden from joining NATO-by assassinating a deputy minister of foreign affairs.

After receiving intelligence about the threat in Sweden, the United States sends Pike Logan to identify Petrov's target-only for him to get caught in the crossfire between Putin's agents and the Wolves. When the smoke clears, Pike makes no effort to stop the Wolves on their ultimate mission, believing it just, until he discovers that their operation has unimaginable consequences. For Putin is preparing a devastating endgame: activating the Dead Man's Hand nuclear response that will launch Russia's missiles in the event of his death. . .

This riveting new novel delivers top notch action with each turn of the page. Taylor incorporates current events involving the US military complex to deliver one of the most prophetic thrillers of 2024. This authoritative blend of ripped from the headlines action complemented by authentic characters allows for praise that proclaims with each new entry into his bestselling series, Brad Taylor is "laying claim to being the American John le Carre." (Providence Journal).

A film adaptation of the best-selling book, “Letter to the American Church” written by Eric Metaxas.

The film lays out the parallels between early 1930’s Nazi Germany and other totalitarian regimes with what is happening in America today and how the church has been mostly silent facing this evil.

Eric and several leading conservative voices of today, explain how cultural Marxism has taken over America, including the church.

This film is a wake-up call to the church to stand up and speak out against the evil that is manifesting in our country.

Our cast gives practical examples on how to take action and turn our country back to freedom, liberty, and ultimately, God Himself.

Dallin strongly believes in the transformative power of opening up to God and expressing one's deepest thoughts and emotions. He learned firsthand that withholding these conversations can lead to immense pain and struggles, even after achieving significant milestones such as graduating from college.

The turning point in Dallin's life came when he realized that true improvement required self-acceptance. No longer willing to conform to societal expectations and uncertain voices, he embarked on a journey of self-discovery and personal transformation. Through the process, he sought God's guidance, resulting in a new heart and mind.

In his pursuit of healing and spiritual growth, Dallin discovered a gift for crafting beautiful poetry that not only uplifts his own soul but also serves as a source of inspiration for others. Today, he is dedicated to helping people embrace vulnerability with God and trust in the divine plan unfolding in their lives.

Leavitt's message is aimed at individuals who share concerns for their children and future generations, offering guidance for those who may feel hopeless or unsure of how to contribute to creating a more loving and sustainable world. Through personal stories, client case studies, and professional expertise, she communicates her urgent yet hopeful perspective in language accessible to the general public. Leavitt argues that the country is on a dangerous trajectory toward its own extinction, presenting it as a national and global mental health crisis that requires attention.

The author explores the direct link between destructive family dynamics at the individual level and the behaviors of powerful institutions and leaders. She emphasizes that millions are suffering the effects of national psychological dysfunction without full awareness. Leavitt asserts that solutions for healing human relations and restoring peace already exist in the field of psychotherapy, offering hope for a national conversation. She believes that effective psychotherapy can interrupt the cycle of violence, providing the best chance for prevention, but acknowledges the need for a fundamental reversal of certain beliefs and dynamics governing the country.

Leavitt shares her insights in a way that goes beyond common understanding, revealing what is necessary to restore safety and how everyone, regardless of their sphere of influence, can contribute to the healing process. She expresses a desire to share her message of hope and healing on podcasts, thanking the audience for their time and consideration.

Chelsey shares her perspective on the choices made by the U.S. House, emphasizing care and compassion, and contrasts this with what she perceives as abandonment and neglect by the Biden administration. Her recent statement underscores the importance of societal decisions in shaping a supportive environment for pregnant women in need.

The discussion delves into specific examples of the services and support that families can now access due to the legislation. We also explore the potential consequences had the Biden administration's attempt succeeded in excluding pregnancy centers from TANF.

Looking ahead, Chelsey discusses Human Coalition's plans to leverage the legislation to further their mission of assisting women and families through healthy pregnancies. The conversation concludes with an exploration of the role of government policies in either supporting or neglecting pregnant women and potential improvements.

Chelsey Youman, Esq., serves the pro-life coalition, as well as women and their preborn children, by advocating for pro-life policies and jurisprudence; mobilizing and unifying local grassroots to strengthen the pro-life movement and its footprint; and engaging with the public to ultimately strengthen our community’s desire to enable women and protect preborn children.

Chelsey’s professional experience includes working as senior counsel and chief of staff for First Liberty Institute, concentrating on religious liberty matters and First Amendment rights. At First Liberty Institute, she litigated on behalf of and advised hundreds of clients regarding conscience rights nationwide. Chelsey has also worked in private practice, where she successfully litigated corporate fraud matters, complex commercial litigation, and consumer rights issues in both federal and state jurisdictions.

Chelsey holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Texas A&M, and a J.D. from Southern Methodist University.

Chelsey is happily married with three children. Her family is active in their church, serving in the premarital and pro-life ministries there. They enjoy traveling, adventuring, and eating good food.

"You can if you will." A phrase uttered to a young Jerry Kramer by his line coach at Sandpoint High School in tiny Sandpoint, Idaho, that would go on to push him to a celebrated NFL career with the Green Bay Packers and a sentiment that he would repeat to close his speech at his long awaited enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame almost seven decades later in 2018.

In the spirit of Jerry Kramer's unforgettable and bestselling collaborations with the great Dick Schaap, his first book about his life and career in over two decades, Run to Win will serve as Kramer's definitive statement about a remarkable life and career of perseverance, teamwork, and gridiron greatness. Spanning the beginning of the legendary Vince Lombardi era through Kramer's confoundingly long wait to receive his bust in Canton, Kramer tells his amazing story as one of the most memorable and toughest Packers in franchise history.

Including insightful commentary about the eminently intriguing Lombardi, as well as fellow Hall of Fame teammates Jim Taylor, Forrest Gregg, Willie Davis, Bart Starr, Emlen Tunnell, and many more, Run to Win is a must read for all true Packers fans from one of the legends who helped lay the foundation for one of the most identifiable and successful franchises in the history of professional sports.

JERRY KRAMER BIO

Jerry Kramer overcame a series of childhood injuries to become an excellent football ball player at the University of Idaho. The guard was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round (39th player overall) of the 1958 NFL Draft. He starred for the Green Bay Packers from 1958 to 1968, playing most of his 11-season career under the direction of Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi.

Upon his entry into the NFL, he soon was hailed as one of the best blockers in the game and earned his first All-NFL acclaim in 1960, the same year the Packers lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL Championship Game -- Kramer's only career postseason loss.

He continued his high level of play all while overcoming several debilitating injuries. In 1961, he missed several games due to a broken ankle that required a permanent pin to heal. Then, in 1964, he missed most of the season due to intestinal infections from wood splinters in his abdomen that required eight surgeries to rectify. In each instance, he returned to All-NFL form.

Kramer played 130 games as the Packers guard and served as the team's placekicker for several seasons. His leadership and talents helped the franchise capture five NFL championships and victories in Super Bowls I and II.

At the time of his retirement in 1968, he held the NFL Championship Game record for most field goal attempts in a game (five against the New York Giants in 1962) and the Packers' team record for most PATs in a season (43 in 1963).

He earned All-NFL acclaim five times (1960, 1962-63, 1966-67) and was voted to three Pro Bowls. Kramer was also named to the NFL's All-Decade Team of the 1960s, the NFL's 50th Anniversary Team in 1969 and the Super Bowl Silver Anniversary Team.

"You can if you will." A phrase uttered to a young Jerry Kramer by his line coach at Sandpoint High School in tiny Sandpoint, Idaho, that would go on to push him to a celebrated NFL career with the Green Bay Packers and a sentiment that he would repeat to close his speech at his long awaited enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame almost seven decades later in 2018.

In the spirit of Jerry Kramer's unforgettable and bestselling collaborations with the great Dick Schaap, his first book about his life and career in over two decades, Run to Win will serve as Kramer's definitive statement about a remarkable life and career of perseverance, teamwork, and gridiron greatness. Spanning the beginning of the legendary Vince Lombardi era through Kramer's confoundingly long wait to receive his bust in Canton, Kramer tells his amazing story as one of the most memorable and toughest Packers in franchise history.

Including insightful commentary about the eminently intriguing Lombardi, as well as fellow Hall of Fame teammates Jim Taylor, Forrest Gregg, Willie Davis, Bart Starr, Emlen Tunnell, and many more, Run to Win is a must read for all true Packers fans from one of the legends who helped lay the foundation for one of the most identifiable and successful franchises in the history of professional sports.

JERRY KRAMER BIO

Jerry Kramer overcame a series of childhood injuries to become an excellent football ball player at the University of Idaho. The guard was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round (39th player overall) of the 1958 NFL Draft. He starred for the Green Bay Packers from 1958 to 1968, playing most of his 11-season career under the direction of Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi.

Upon his entry into the NFL, he soon was hailed as one of the best blockers in the game and earned his first All-NFL acclaim in 1960, the same year the Packers lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL Championship Game -- Kramer's only career postseason loss.

He continued his high level of play all while overcoming several debilitating injuries. In 1961, he missed several games due to a broken ankle that required a permanent pin to heal. Then, in 1964, he missed most of the season due to intestinal infections from wood splinters in his abdomen that required eight surgeries to rectify. In each instance, he returned to All-NFL form.

Kramer played 130 games as the Packers guard and served as the team's placekicker for several seasons. His leadership and talents helped the franchise capture five NFL championships and victories in Super Bowls I and II.

At the time of his retirement in 1968, he held the NFL Championship Game record for most field goal attempts in a game (five against the New York Giants in 1962) and the Packers' team record for most PATs in a season (43 in 1963).

He earned All-NFL acclaim five times (1960, 1962-63, 1966-67) and was voted to three Pro Bowls. Kramer was also named to the NFL's All-Decade Team of the 1960s, the NFL's 50th Anniversary Team in 1969 and the Super Bowl Silver Anniversary Team.

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – December 19, 2023 – Huntley, a 33-year-old soulful rock artist from Fredericksburg, Va., was named champion of “The Voice” Season 24 tonight.

Huntley faced tough competition from the other finalists this season, including teammate Mara Justine from Team Niall, Lila Forde from Team Legend, and Ruby Leigh and Jacquie Roar from Team Reba. All five Season 24 finalists earned a four-chair turn during their blind auditions.

In his blind audition, Huntley, known for his unique raspy voice, earned four chair turns from the coaches with his powerful performance of the Black Crowes’ “She Talks to Angels,” which had coaches fighting for him. He ultimately chose to join Team Niall, where he and teammate Brailey Lenderman performed a duet of Hootie & the Blowfish’s “Hold My Hand” during the battle rounds. For the ultra-competitive three-way knockout round, he did a showstopping performance of Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive.”

During the playoffs, Huntley performed an emotional rendition of David Kushner’s “Daylight” to honor his daughter, which secured him a spot in the Top 12. In the first live show, he performed “With a Little Help From My Friends” by the Beatles, which earned him a spot in the semifinals. The following week, Huntley joined Lila Ford and Mac Royals for a haunting trio performance of “exile” by Taylor Swift featuring Bon Iver, and then wowed with the crowd-pleaser “Way Down We Go” by KALEO.

On Monday night’s telecast, Huntley continued to impress the coaches and viewers alike with an up-tempo live performance of “Higher” by Creed as well as a down-tempo performance of “Another Love” by Tom Odell.

Before being crowned the winner during tonight’s finale, Huntley was joined on stage by coach Niall Horan for a heartfelt duet of “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” by Bob Dylan.

Huntley's presence on the show's social media platforms this season garnered immense popularity, with his performances accumulating 46.6 million views across "The Voice" pages on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube.

Huntley was singing and impersonating Elvis by the time he was 4, and at 14 wanted to pursue music. After two years of college, he moved to Nashville but didn’t find the success he had imagined. After falling out of love with the music grind, he moved back home to Virginia. In 2016, Huntley welcomed his daughter and five years later welcomed his son. He never had a relationship with his own father, which motivated him to be very involved in his kids’ lives. Since 2022, Huntley has found success as a booking agent for musicians. Now that music is coming back into his life, he’s been a full-time musician gigging five times a week all over Virginia.

Fresh off his win, Huntley will perform at this weekend’s Buffalo Bills vs. Los Angeles Chargers game, streaming exclusively on Peacock with coverage beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET. He will kick off the game with a rendition of the National Anthem and put on a special halftime performance.

“The Voice” is the most-watched unscripted entertainment broadcast series this season and is averaging 8.4 million viewers across all platforms (L7).

“The Voice” is a presentation of MGM Television, Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon, and ITV Studios The Voice USA, Inc. The series was created by John de Mol, who serves as an executive producer along with Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Amanda Zucker, Kyra Thompson and Adam H. Sher.

A Record of Nearly 1.6 Million Viewers Tune-In to NewsNation,

More than 2.5 Million Watch Simulcast on The CW Network, Biggest Audience Since 2018

NewsNation and The CW Network combined to deliver more than 4 million viewers Wednesday night for the final GOP Presidential primary debate before the Iowa caucuses.

NewsNation, the fastest-growing network in primetime cable news, garnered the largest audience in its history with nearly 1.6 million viewers across the United States tuning in; among adults 25 to 54, the debate was watched by more than 350,000 viewers, according to Nielsen Fast Nationals. The CW Network, which simulcast the debate, delivered more than 2.5 million viewers and nearly 500,000 viewers among adults 25 to 54, making the debate The CW's most watched primetime program since 2018. In the New York City market, WPIX-TV's broadcast of the debate was #1 in primetime, drawing more than 300,000 total viewers.

"NewsNation was incredibly honored to host last night's debate, and we are very pleased that so many viewers tuned-in and watched," said Sean Compton, President of Networks for Nexstar Media. "This debate represents a remarkable achievement for a cable news network that is just barely three years old. We're very proud of the NewsNation team, the great job done by the moderators, and the overall production. In the end, the real winners last night were the nation's voters."

NewsNation has been growing exponentially over the last year, according to Nielsen. In weekday primetime, the network is up 73% in total viewers and up 90% among adults 25 to 54, year-to-date, compared to the same time last year.

Prior to the debate, NewsNation aired "Countdown to the NewsNation Republican Primary Debate," a two-hour news special hosted by Chris Cuomo and chief Washington anchor Leland Vittert.

He is currently attending Columbia Business School while running current business projects, creating new possibilities for future endeavors, and parenting his two children alongside his partner, who is also a United States military veteran.

“DAMN THE VALLEY” was a phrase regularly uttered by the men that spent any amount of time in the Arghandab River Valley during the deployment of 2 Fury to Afghanistan in 2009–2010. The valley has claimed bodies from the troops of Alexander the Great, the British Empire, and more recently, the Russian Army. Operating in the valley was like nothing the men could have envisaged, they called it the “meat grinder.”

It was a deployment that the media didn’t talk about, and the government doesn’t acknowledge. Three of the company were KIA, more than a dozen suffered life-changing injuries, and half the company had Purple Hearts—not many modern-day deployments have a 52% casualty rate. At one point, the entire prosthetics ward at Walter Reed was full of the men who patrolled that deadly area of the world.

Since their return, many of the survivors have struggled to move on with their lives, and the unit has been declared at "extraordinary risk" by the Department of Veteran Affairs. No one who entered that region was left unscathed. This book shares the perspective of the men that were on the ground for that deployment during the fighting season of 2010.

"A riveting, unsparing, gritty, first-hand account of life in a great airborne unit that engaged in some of the toughest fighting in Afghanistan, in "the Arghandab," a district whose name became a metaphor for brutal close combat against tenacious enemies. Damn the Valley captures vividly the intense dynamics and relationships in the brotherhood of the close fight in the toughest imaginable conditions - and also the extraordinary reliance of paratroopers on their airborne buddies on their left and right and their leaders. A great read!"

General David Petraeus, former Commander of the Surge in Iraq, US Central Command, and NATO/US Forces in Afghanistan; former Director of the CIA; and co-author of "Conflict: The Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to Ukraine"

“Sobering, powerful, factual; this is a must-read first-person story which brilliantly and empathically illuminates the facets of a soldier’s life during combat in one of Afghanistan’s toughest districts. This is a rare glimpse into the realities real American heroes face to pay for our freedom. As the Fury commander there, for 24 months, I understand we asked soldiers to sacrifice on our behalf with ill-defined goals. Thus the book quote resonated with me, that the only way to WIN was to, 'continually do [sic] the right thing in the face of everything that screams to you that it wasn’t worth it to stay on the path of the righteous.' They served with honor!"

Brian Mennes Major General (Ret) former Deputy Commander 18th Airborne Corps, US Army

“Yeske provides a riveting account of the brutality and unforgiving nature of direct combat from the paratroopers who had to deal with it in one of the most dangerous and contentious areas and times of the Afghan War. He also clearly articulates the interpersonal nature of small unit combat, and his writing makes the reader feel as if they are there, on patrol, or under fire with him and his buddies. I recommend this book to any small unit leader to understand what combat is about and to any leader in general to understand what our troops at the tactical level must endure during extended combat.”

John Wayne Troxell, SEAC (Ret), USA, 3rd Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman, JCS, and author of "Surrender or Die! Reflections of a Combat Leader

The reason why I wrote this book is because just like you, I’ve had trials and tribulations. I’m here because I want to share with you 1) What’s possible if you dare to dream; and, 2) how to reach those dreams in a faster, easier way.

I struggled a lot for many years, sometimes financially, sometimes emotionally. I was trapped in a way of thinking that didn’t support my success. It wasn’t all bad, I’ve had my good times and my tough times. However there were definitely more than a few defining moments in my life. The problem is that this way of thinking was unconscious.

As I learned to become more conscious and intentional, I went from following the direction of others to creating my own direction. I went from working at a very early age, marrying young, and following my family’s religion to leaving my former faith, ending my marriage, and becoming empowered and whole as a single mother. I definitely struggled along the way as a single mom and faced extreme emotional and financial pressure. Over the last decade, it has been my obsession and passion to continuously discover, learn, and apply different methods to help my life get better, faster. I’d love for you to benefit from this just as much as I have.

I intend to provide you with as many resources as possible to help you increase the quality of all areas of your life.

New resources and services will be added as I experience them. If you have a service or resource that’s in alignment with The Queen Latina vision of empowering and supporting women to create their lives by design, please let us know. Our community and network is best served in partnership. Let’s build our empire supporting one another.

As a young adult, Christina assumed she had a solid understanding of how the world works. That changed when she and her husband became foster parents in 2014. The neat bow she had tied around her mental box of how the world works began to unravel.

What had previously been a category of people in her mind, people addicted to drugs, now had a name, face, and an infant son sleeping in the extra bedroom down the hall. Her foster care experience gave her an up-close look at the realities of addiction, drug use, and the far-reaching impact of our drug laws.

This became the catalyst for months of reading, questions, and listening as she tried to reconcile her beliefs as a Christian with the pain and suffering she saw first-hand. What she learned changed her mind. The laws she thought were the answer to keep people from using drugs she now saw as causing more harm than help to people made in God’s image.

Christina founded End It For Good out of her desire to invite others to listen to the voices directly impacted by our drug laws. She hopes that more people will explore the root causes of drug-related harm and consider a different approach. She wrote the book Curious: A Foster Mom's Discovery of an Unexpected Solution to Drugs and Addiction to share her story and the research and experiences that changed her mind about the best path forward to help people thrive, even in a world where harmful drugs exist.

Christina is married to her college sweetheart Thomas, and they live in Ridgeland, MS, with their three sons. On the weekends, you can find her biking, in a hammock reading a biography, or playing board games with the family.

Thank you for your time. ]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/57960962Sat, 09 Dec 2023 18:01:19 +0000I Am Refocused RadioChristina is an author, TEDx speaker, and perpetual question-asker. She grew up in a conservative, Christian home and earned a degree in Biblical Studies with an emphasis in Christian Ministry from Belhaven University. As a young adult, Christina...
As a young adult, Christina assumed she had a solid understanding of how the world works. That changed when she and her husband became foster parents in 2014. The neat bow she had tied around her mental box of how the world works began to unravel.

What had previously been a category of people in her mind, people addicted to drugs, now had a name, face, and an infant son sleeping in the extra bedroom down the hall. Her foster care experience gave her an up-close look at the realities of addiction, drug use, and the far-reaching impact of our drug laws.

This became the catalyst for months of reading, questions, and listening as she tried to reconcile her beliefs as a Christian with the pain and suffering she saw first-hand. What she learned changed her mind. The laws she thought were the answer to keep people from using drugs she now saw as causing more harm than help to people made in God’s image.

Christina founded End It For Good out of her desire to invite others to listen to the voices directly impacted by our drug laws. She hopes that more people will explore the root causes of drug-related harm and consider a different approach. She wrote the book Curious: A Foster Mom's Discovery of an Unexpected Solution to Drugs and Addiction to share her story and the research and experiences that changed her mind about the best path forward to help people thrive, even in a world where harmful drugs exist.

Christina is married to her college sweetheart Thomas, and they live in Ridgeland, MS, with their three sons. On the weekends, you can find her biking, in a hammock reading a biography, or playing board games with the family.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

End-Times Prophecy Does Not Need to Be Complicated Or Confusing...

"Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming." --Matthew 24:42

The words of Jesus remind Christians that--even though we do not know the date when He will return--we need to have our finger on the pulse of what is happening morally, spiritually, and politically in our world. And with the increasing chaos, division, and war happening today, it is right to ask, "Are we living in the end times now?" In this book, Dr. Robert Jeffress provides biblical answers to seven frequently asked questions about the future:

1. What Does the Bible Mean by the End Times?
2. What Role Does Israel Play in the End Times?
3. What News Events Signal the End Times?
4. What Are the Major Events of the End Times?
5. What's the Difference between the Rapture and the Second Coming in the End Times?
6. Why Has God Delayed the End Times?
7. How Do I Prepare for the End Times?

Getting answers to these questions--and understanding the phenomenal events that are going to happen before the revelation of the King of kings and Lord of lords--helps believers face the future with hope and confidence.

In HOW I LEARNED TO FLY, the feature film debut from writer/director Simon Steuri, two African-American teenage brothers suddenly find themselves on their own after being mysteriously abandoned by their parents. Deeply haunted by the mental and physical abuse inflicted by their father (Wu-Tang Clan's Cliff "Method Man" Smith), elder brother Daniel (Scribner) is determined to keep their lives from falling apart. He maintains a daily routine, works as a dishwasher and does his best to keep a roof over their heads. Younger brother Eli (Lonnie Chavis, NBC's This Is Us) struggles to cope with the absence of his mother, leaving her voicemail messages in search of answers. Embarking on a journey of survival and self-discovery, they uncover moments of beauty, newfound meaning and enduring love that strengthen their bond despite the uncertain road ahead. Featuring supporting performances by Cedric the Entertainer and Michele Selene Ang, HOW I LEARNED TO FLY, is a poignant story of determination and resilience in the face of profound adversity. The film opens exclusively in theaters in major markets on December 1, 2023.

Recognizing that every problem stems from conflict or flaws within the mind, Neal identified the singular source of his struggles as a flawed character. Despite these challenges, he overcame them by resolving his internal division and uniting his mind and body. This involved bridging the gap between the conscious and subconscious to achieve what he terms the Ultraconscious.

The Ultraconscious, according to Neal, is the unborn entity embodying our highest and best selves. It involves relinquishing ego control and allowing the source to flow through us. Now, Neal is dedicated to helping individuals uncover their true individuality and strength, enabling them to attain spiritual freedom regardless of their physical circumstances.

Neal believes in a holistic approach that combines form and intellect, skill and substance. He emphasizes that the process of cultivating genius is simple but not easy. Hybrid mastery, as he calls it, involves nurturing both the mind and body to access the source clearly. This, according to Neal, is the path to becoming a Unified Man.

A Unified Man, in Neal's philosophy, is characterized by clarity, strength, and control. Such an individual rules their internal territory, having built a Nation from Within. Neal Fisher's mission is to guide people on this transformative journey toward becoming Unified Men.

Darlene Greene wants to help you take charge of your own health, get out of pain, improve your energy, increase the quality of your sleep, reduce systemic inflammation, increase mental clarity, improve your nervous system, lower your anxiety, enhance brain functioning, improve cardiovascular functioning, and elevate your GHK-Cu for a host of additional benefits to include increasing your own stem cells, producing growth factors, protect lungs, reset genes to their younger healthier state, repair damaged DNA, inhibit cancer, increase hair growth, improve skin, increase healing, accelerate wound healing, reduce Fibrinogen (top predictor of cardiovascular disease) and more...

Having exhausted IV stem cells, hyperbaric chamber, ozone therapies and more to help her husband with his Early Alzheimer’s, she FINALLY discovered an affordable technology that dramatically improved his symptoms within the first week, without drugs, without a prescription, and without any contra-indications to other treatments or therapeutic modalities.

After experiencing the amazing results for herself, and watching family and friends have their own miracles, Darlene is passionate about sharing this technology with the world. A driving force for her remains, “Why didn’t I know about this two years ago… where would my husband be if we had started using this technology two years ago…and who out there needs to know about this right now?”

When an anesthesiologist says, “This is the most significant medical breakthrough in my lifetime…” and when over 300 Olympic Athletes use the technology in the 2008 Olympics, aren’t you curious as to what it could do for you in addition to making you look and feel younger?

Darlene Greene has over 26 years of experience in executive leadership and senior management positions across diverse industries, including positions such as: Vice President of Strategic Technology Partner at McAfee (Intel), Dean of Culver Girls Academy, Director of Client Services for HyeTech Networks and Security, and Senior Director LifeWave Foundational Cell Activation Technology. During her 20 years of military experience, she earned her MBA and held three Commanding Officer positions, including serving as base commander and overseeing over 1200 personnel. Darlene created the Returning Warrior Weekend Workshop in 2006 to help military members and their spouses reintegrate successfully – a program still supporting military across the country today.

Darlene’s passion today is helping people elevate their GHK-CU peptide to activate their stem cells, repair their DNA, reverse age, and get out of pain through the latest photo biomodulation technology.

Darlene Greene wants to help you take charge of your own health, get out of pain, improve your energy, increase the quality of your sleep, reduce systemic inflammation, increase mental clarity, improve your nervous system, lower your anxiety, enhance brain functioning, improve cardiovascular functioning, and elevate your GHK-Cu for a host of additional benefits to include increasing your own stem cells, producing growth factors, protect lungs, reset genes to their younger healthier state, repair damaged DNA, inhibit cancer, increase hair growth, improve skin, increase healing, accelerate wound healing, reduce Fibrinogen (top predictor of cardiovascular disease) and more...

Having exhausted IV stem cells, hyperbaric chamber, ozone therapies and more to help her husband with his Early Alzheimer’s, she FINALLY discovered an affordable technology that dramatically improved his symptoms within the first week, without drugs, without a prescription, and without any contra-indications to other treatments or therapeutic modalities.

After experiencing the amazing results for herself, and watching family and friends have their own miracles, Darlene is passionate about sharing this technology with the world. A driving force for her remains, “Why didn’t I know about this two years ago… where would my husband be if we had started using this technology two years ago…and who out there needs to know about this right now?”

When an anesthesiologist says, “This is the most significant medical breakthrough in my lifetime…” and when over 300 Olympic Athletes use the technology in the 2008 Olympics, aren’t you curious as to what it could do for you in addition to making you look and feel younger?

Darlene Greene has over 26 years of experience in executive leadership and senior management positions across diverse industries, including positions such as: Vice President of Strategic Technology Partner at McAfee (Intel), Dean of Culver Girls Academy, Director of Client Services for HyeTech Networks and Security, and Senior Director LifeWave Foundational Cell Activation Technology. During her 20 years of military experience, she earned her MBA and held three Commanding Officer positions, including serving as base commander and overseeing over 1200 personnel. Darlene created the Returning Warrior Weekend Workshop in 2006 to help military members and their spouses reintegrate successfully – a program still supporting military across the country today.

Darlene’s passion today is helping people elevate their GHK-CU peptide to activate their stem cells, repair their DNA, reverse age, and get out of pain through the latest photo biomodulation technology.

I’m a veteran, author, and journalist that’s sold more than 1200 copies of my debut book, “The Second Sun,” after going viral on TikTok in June.

Growing up, I was the third born but the first to graduate high school. I was viciously abused by my parents. They both have suffered from some form of addiction.

I taught myself to write while serving in the US Navy as a Corpsman right after high school, and after leaving, I learned a University education wasnt for me, despite winning the highest award for short fiction and poetry at two different colleges in their annual creative writing contests.

While living in Louisiana, I was hired by a film director to help complete his script and got to work on a film set.

I became an EMT around the age of 23, then a 911 dispatcher at 26 before earning, by audition, a job at a newspaper. At this point, I was 27 years old and won awards from two Texas Press Associations for feature writing and photography. Amidst this time and in earlier years, I would exchange letters with Pulitzer Prize winning writer Robert Olen Butler.

I later became sober from alcohol, as my Tourette’s manifested in a way I could no longer ignore and I spent five years battling worsening symptoms and not writing a word.

Several dozen times a day, my ticks force me to slap, punch, and claw myself in the face. It makes me call myself names very loudly that I won’t write here, I say I hate myself, and I’m often laughed at in public, (however, it’s not malicious) additionally, I’ve lost much of the feeling in my right hand from chronic swelling and impact injuries, as it compels me to punch hard surfaces around me. I’m currently wearing bandages and tape on two fingers, and a thumb brace from an injury resulting from just that.

On October 16, 2021, I surrendered that fight and began writing once more. In February of this year, I published my first book!

Drawn towards cartels, crime, and drugs DaVon and Greene completed his first serious undertaking in his early teens and gave it to his father's friend, Saul David (Director: Logan's Run and Fantastic Voyage) to get an honest critique. Saul was intrigued, but wasn't overwhelmed. His critique sent DaVon and Greene’s life into a whole other direction, putting down the pen and entering the world that he wrote about in an endless cycle that there was no escape from, ultimately leading to incarceration.

After jail, employment was hard to find, so when DaVon and Greene’s now wife offered him a job interview at a beer company he seized the opportunity. Working hard he rose through the ranks with promotion after promotion. Within six months DaVon and Greene was on a six figure salary.

Several years later, DaVon and Greene’s beer career came to a halt when the company was sold. So DaVon and Greene started flipping Real Estate which provided him with a life filled with fast cars, boats and houses, until the crash of 2007.

Not to be defeated, DaVon and Greene turned to insurance, then consulting before starting a successful trucking business. Resting in his truck at night gave DaVon and Greene time to write and finally fulfil his dream to become an author. Thriller, Laredo Nuevo was published in 2021 and Paladin will be released later this year.

DaVon and Greene is father to eight children and five grandchildren. When he’s not writing or trucking across the country Jonathan can be found in California where he lives with his wife.

ABOUT THE VOICE

The four-time Emmy Award-winning musical competition series "The Voice" returns as Queen of Country Reba McEntire claims her red chair alongside last season's champ, Niall Horan, and returning superstar coaches John Legend and Gwen Stefani as they vie to discover and coach the next singing phenomenon.

The show's innovative format features five stages of competition: Blind Auditions, Battle Rounds, Knockouts, Playoffs and Live Performance Shows.

This season, the block returns to the Blind Auditions, and during Battles, each coach will have two steals to use. The Three-Way Knockouts are also back. This time, however, artists will select their own songs to perform.

Once the Live Performance Shows begin, the top artists will compete against each other weekly during a live broadcast. This time, the television audience will vote to save their favorite artists. In the end, one artist will be named "The Voice" and receive the grand prize of a recording contract.

A Connecticut Yankee Goes to Washington: Senator George P. McLean, Birdman of the Senate https://a.co/d/b2UNxPC

Senator George P. McLean’s crowning achievement was overseeing passage of one of the country’s first and most important wildlife conservation laws, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. The MBTA, which is still in effect today, has saved billions of birds from senseless killing and likely prevented the extinction of entire bird species. A Connecticut Yankee Goes to Washington: George P. McLean, Birdman of the Senate puts McLean’s victory for birds in the context of his distinguished forty-five-year career marked by many acts of reform during a time of widespread corruption and political instability. Author Will McLean Greeley traces McLean’s rise from obscurity as a Connecticut farm boy to national prominence when he advised five US presidents and helped lead change and shape events as a US senator from 1911 to 1929. One reviewer writes: “And there’s a bonus: This book is also a love song to a distant relative. We need more historians who truly care about the people they’re writing about, and Greeley does just that.”

🏅 Manuj's technology projects have touched the lives of 10 million people.

🏅 He holds 4 patents in artificial intelligence and has authored 2 books on technology.

In addition to his technical proficiency, Manuj Aggarwal possesses a deep understanding of human psychology and neuroscience, which gives him a unique advantage.

Manuj's personal journey began in a small town, where he faced the challenges of a troubled home. As a friendly child, he gradually became introverted and angry. At the age of 15, he took up employment in a factory, enduring long 12-hour workdays for a mere $2 daily wage.

In 1995, a new computer institute called Aptech opened in his town. Although the tuition exceeded a year's salary, he managed to gather enough funds for his first class, where he discovered his passion for computers and programming. It was at Aptech that he met his future spouse, and their love story began. Unfortunately, their marriage faced disapproval from his family.

Ultimately, Manuj had to leave home with just a suitcase of clothing. Following their marriage, he and his spouse embarked on a journey to Canada, where they began a new life.

During their time in Canada, Manuj faced immense challenges. Today, he not only excels in his endeavors but also serves as an inspiration to others, encouraging them to pursue their dreams.

Manuj Aggarwal's extraordinary journey, from earning $2 per day to the boardrooms of Fortune 500 companies, has firmly reinforced his belief that anything is possible.

With two Olympic gold medals, one silver medal, six World Championships victories, 31 World Cup victories and a staggering 59 career World Cup podiums, five-time Olympian Lindsey Jacobellis, is the most decorated snowboard cross athlete of all time. But, for the better part of her career, she was known for one of the most epic unforced errors in Olympic history, which not only cost her a gold medal but cast her into a storm of media ridicule and stifling self-doubt. In her deeply personal memoir, UNFORGIVING (Harper; Publication Date: October 17, 2023), Jacobellis chronicles her career from crushing early failure, to self-growth and love, to finally conquering her goal almost two decades later. Honest, intimate, and inspiring, UNFORGIVING is both an unprecedented look at what it's like to be a young female athlete under the spotlight and a manifesto for triumphing over failure, believing in yourself, and achieving at the highest level.

On February 16th, 2006, twenty-year old American snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis was poised to win the first gold medal in women's snowboard cross. Jacobellis, the top snowboard cross racer in the world and one of the most celebrated and decorated winter sports champions of all time, had a seemingly insurmountable lead in her race until she decided, in the home stretch, to celebrate midair and it all came crashing down. She lost her balance and fell. It was a mistake that would go down as one of the biggest unforced errors in sports. Jacobellis endured the criticism and second-guessing of Olympic commentators, sportswriters, and detractors. She was dropped by sponsors, ridiculed in the press, and grilled by interviewers. But Jacobellis refused to let her fall define her. It took her sixteen years of perseverance, training, and life coaching before, at the age of 36, Jacobellis reached the podium and became the oldest US female athlete to capture gold in Winter Olympic History.

"I was shattered, and furious with myself, and even a little bit humiliated," Jacobellis says of the 2006 fall. "Naturally I wanted to turn back time and undo what I had done, but there was no hiding from what had happened, no way to undo this one moment that appeared to mark my undoing. . After spending so much time trying to get out from under that race in Torino, I started to realize there were so many lessons to be learned from stumbling like that in such a public way. I kept telling myself my story would not end with me on my butt on the side of a mountain in Italy. I vowed to write a different ending."

UNFORGIVING is an honest account of one life-altering misstep and its aftermath, and an intimate look at what it means to come of age as an athlete. After years of maintaining an unbreakable public persona, Jacobellis opens up for the first time about the weight of expectations, the pain of falling short, and the tenacity, hard work, and confidence it takes to persevere.

In our conversation, we'll explore the impressive project at https://biblequestions.com, where you can get speedy answers to Bible queries in various languages, all within just 10 seconds.

We also discussed the profound concept of "grace" and how to form a personal and meaningful connection with God as we journey with Jesus as the Lord of our lives. This conversation delivers a timely and thought-provoking message, emphasizing the significance of grace and spiritual connection in our individual faith journeys.




About The Grace Message

We exist to help people experience the hope and encouragement found in God’s grace by helping them embrace the finished work of Christ, walk in their new identity, and enjoy freedom from lifeless religion.

Our ministry resources include thousands of video and audio messages, nine bestselling Christian books, weekly online church service streaming, an active social media presence reaching over one million followers, and a live daily radio broadcast heard on Sirius XM Satellite Radio and dozens of local stations across North America.

A recent email from a listener sharing their frustration in trying to find the straightforward Good News of the Gospel illustrates the need:

My family and I have been searching for grace-based teaching for a long time. It seems hard to find anyone consistently talking about Jesus and the cross and the resurrection. There are so many behavior improvement programs out there and principles for self-betterment, all in the name of the Church. We are so glad we found your website and podcast. Thank you for the way that you teach the truth about God’s grace so clearly and consistently.

And that’s exactly what we’re here to do: to proclaim the finished work of Jesus Christ with boldness and clarity. Our goal is to consistently offer simple, straightforward, Bible-based help for any Christian looking to sink their teeth into the depths of God’s grace. So, if you’re looking to overcome fear, find freedom from lifeless religion, or simply gain a greater grasp of the Scriptures, we’re excited you found us.

What Got Roman Fischer Into Fitness and Nutrition?

At the age of 15, Roman Fischer witnessed his younger brother engaging in weightlifting, which served as a powerful source of inspiration. He also nurtured a desire to attain a six-pack and a strong yearning for a longer and healthier life. Roman's previous lifestyle, characterized by indulging in whatever food he laid eyes on and spending countless hours playing video games, no longer satisfied him. This realization fueled his determination to make a serious lifestyle change, marking the beginning of his remarkable journey into fitness and nutrition. The rest, as they say, is history!

Her book became a #1 new release in several categories when first published and went on to win a gold medal in the Non-Fiction Book Awards through the Non-Fiction Author's Association. The book then became a finalist in the category of Memoirs and Autobiographies through the International Book Awards. She was overwhelmed that God could use her story to inspire courage, selflessness, and steadfastness. Doors then began to open for her to spread her story on the stage as well; speaking life into her listeners as she shows indestructible hope rising out of the ashes of tragedy.

Katrina calls Hot Springs, Arkansas home. She graduated from Ouachita Baptist University with a degree in accounting in 1999. With that, she worked in public and private accounting for several years before she decided to obtain her licenses in the securities industry and become an investment advisor. She’s been working with a local wealth management company since 2007 where she serves as their Chief Compliance Officer.

She has volunteered in many capacities to advocate for children in the foster care system and plays an active role in her church and community. She and her husband adopted three boys, two from foster care and one as an adult, they also have two biological children and countless others she is a “mom” to in some capacity.

Tim would come home at night after a day spent listening to these men and share with his wife that these men just had no one they could open up to and no brotherhood of men pointing them daily to God’s truths and plans for them. On a consistent basis, grown men would pour out their hearts concerning stresses in their work, worries over family, or fears that life was meaningless.

The final straw was when a man deemed very successful in the world’s eyes sobbed out to Tim that he had no relationship with his wife, his own kids couldn’t stand him, and he had not a single friend to call upon. Something had to be done to try and help these men.

After much prayer, God revealed that as REUP.

Starting with his own group of men and calling it a “Fire Team” to groups of men now meeting all throughout the country, God is at work in men who are seeking to live by HIS life.

Tim is convinced that the most critical need of the church today is men, bold men, men willing to lead their homes and serve the church.

Tim’s passion is leading men into biblical manhood and he has authored a number of Bible studies and his book God And A Man: How God Can Use Any Man To Make A Difference has impacted thousands of men.

Desmond Child is the iconic Grammy® Award winning and Emmy nominated songwriter / producer who has contributed to some of the biggest global hits that helped ignite the success of music icons KISS, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Ricky Martin, Katy Perry, and countless others. Desmond is gearing up for the release of his first-ever memoir, “LIVIN' ON A PRAYER: BIG SONGS BIG LIFE” (out Sept. 19) – his personal story of anguish and struggle that reveals how he climbed his way to the top and beyond amid extraordinary circumstances. Sharing his very intimate and unbelievable journey that shaped him into an artist of international renown, the book features a foreword by Paul Stanley, in collaboration with legendary music biographer David Ritz.

Having co-written over 80 Top 40 hits and selling over 500 million records worldwide, Desmond's contributions to the music industry have earned him induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame, and multiple prestigious awards. For over half a century, Desmond has collaborated with the world's most celebrated artists creating timeless classics, such as Bon Jovi's "Livin' On A Prayer" and "You Give Love A Bad Name," as well as Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca" and "The Cup Of Life," amongst his vast catalog. But in "LIVIN' ON A PRAYER: BIG SONGS BIG LIFE," Desmond himself takes center stage to share his transformational story of a misfit outsider to cultural pacesetter.

In the upcoming title, Desmond recounts his unconventional upbringing as his colorful family fled revolutionary Cuba for Florida in the 1960s and fell into poverty. He details his shocking discovery at age 18 that the man he called "dad" was not his biological father after all, and he courageously bares his soul about navigating the trials of being a Latino gay man in the macho world of Rock 'n' Roll. His is a story of willing himself to succeed and overcoming impossible odds to establish himself as one of the most influential composers and lyricists of all time.

In an interview, Desmond can discuss the following:

• The triumphs, challenges, and lessons he's learned throughout his career * Inspiring others to embrace their own creative pursuits, overcome obstacles, and live their dreams to the fullest
• Revealing untold stories about the making of the hit songs that have become the soundtrack of our lives.
• Recounting the magic and inspiration behind each composition, while shedding light on what it's like to collaborate with music legends.
• Lessons from a maestro with invaluable resources for aspiring artists and industry professionals alike to understand songwriting, production, and the music industry

"You will never know how many times I said when asked about the lady ref, 'She is the best official on the field.'" -The late, legendary Red Cashion, NFL referee for 25 seasons and two Super Bowls

From a young age, Shannon Eastin was strong, fiercely competitive, and driven by the belief that she not only could but should be the best at whatever she set her mind to-including achieving her dream job: referee for the National Football League (NFL). In LADY REF: Making Calls in a Man's World (Rowman & Littlefield; September 2023; ISBN: 978-1538181607; $34.00 Hardcover), Shannon Eastin takes readers along on her journey to becoming the first woman to work as an NFL official-after taking on a lot of training, putting in a lot of hard, hard work, learning when to speak up and when to step back, and keeping the faith that God had a plan for her. Throughout, she offers practical lessons and plenty of inspiration for anyone determined to follow their passion and reach their goals without compromising.

"I worked hard, I worked at getting better. And when one door wouldn't open, I kept looking for another way through," Eastin says of her quest to break into NFL. A door finally opened in 2012, thanks to a strike. Elated and grateful to be hired as a temporary replacement referee, she kept studying the game, following the rules, and working even harder to prove herself. "To get to this point," Eastin reflects, "I've had to take time to help others understand what I know, to see what I can do, and to trust me-and women like me-to do this work."

Before all of the accomplishments that were to be bestowed on Shannon Eastin, there came a powerful drive and a feeling she was born with something extra. You could say LADY REF began the day Shannon Eastin was born.

Then, in 1976 when Shannon turned six and her mom, who had been raising Shannon and her brother on her own until then, married Paul. In their new house in Oxford, Massachusetts, Shannon especially loved Sundays-when she and her dad would sit on the couch together, eating bowls of double-scooped ice cream and watching football. That year, the New England Patriots made it into the playoffs for the first time ever. And by focusing on how her dad paid close attention to the game and listening as he pointed to the screen and explained each play, call, and the official's signals, Shannon became fascinated with football. The following year, the family relocated to Phoenix, Arizona. Shannon burned to join a football team at their local rec center-but her mom said, "Absolutely not. It's too dangerous." Disappointed but not defeated, Shannon chose a different sport: judo. In third grade, she won her first of many judo championships. "Once I started a challenge, any challenge," she attests, "I didn't want to stop."

LADY REF follows Shannon Eastin through challenge after challenge, hurdle after hurdle, and hard-won triumphs, including:

· The thrill, in the spring of 2001, of receiving an e-mail from Johnny Grier, the first Black NFL referee ever named, inviting her to work the spring game at Florida A&S. (p. 84)

· Making herstory again in 2012-and fulfilling her dream of becoming the first woman referee for the NFL. Capping off the experience: being asked to commemorate her breakthrough for women by donating her hat and whistle to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. (p.150)
· How, as a young woman rebounding from an early failed marriage, Shannon set her sights on becoming a football official, enrolled in a training program and won the respect of men who knew and loved the sport by asking the right questions. (p.70)

· How she made the game-changing decision to enroll in the Personal Touch camp at UCLA, the best training available, and won the support and respect of the legendary Red Cashion-the official with the signature "first dooowwwwn" call-by demonstrating her impressive knowledge of the game and "good field presence," a sense of confidence under pressure. (p. 70) · How she maintained her cool and professionalism in the face of sneers from her peers and during the aftermath of a humiliating physical assault in a hotel lobby-being forced over the back of a couch and smacked on the butt three times by her boss: a football commissioner. (pp. 75, 76) · Coming back to the NFL the season after the referee strike was settled-as a game day assistant, working as a play clock operator, and then later being offered a position that was essentially a demotion. "It was time for me to step down, time for me to move on. (pp. 181, 182)
After leaving the NFL, Shannon Eastin became a clock operator for the Arizona Diamondbacks and fell in love with the game of baseball. She also enjoys raising money through the generous officials who work for her to send teddy bears to Phoenix Children's Hospital and throughout the U.S., an idea that was born to honor a dear friend's grandson, Aiden, who died of cancer just shy of his fourth birthday.

A memoir of a trailblazer, LADY REF is a story of determination and hope that will inspire anyone to keep on striving for their dreams and believing in their own worth. ABOUT SHANNON EASTIN SHANNON EASTIN broke barriers in becoming the first woman Division I referee and the first woman NFL official. She continues to inspire people through speaking engagements and through organizing and supporting charitable events. For years she has served as the director of officials for the Canyon Athletic Association and is the owner of SE Sports Officiating. Through both CAA and SE Sports, she assigns, trains, and mentors officials of all ages. She is a devoted member of Christ's Church of the Valley (CCV). She lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, with her adorable and much-adored dogs, Cooper, Riley and Rosco. To learn more visit www.shannoneastin.com.

For nearly two decades working for ABC News, Matt Gutman lived with a secret. In NO TIME TO PANIC: How I Conquered a Lifetime of Panic Attacks by Crying with Strangers, Bear-Hugging My Fear, and Dialing Down My Anxiety (Doubleday; September 12, 2023; $28.00), the award-winning chief national correspondent opens up about his stop-at-nothing journey to find a remedy to halt his panic attacks in their tracks.

In his live broadcasts, viewers saw an unflappable and gregarious reporter, known for shaking off close scrapes with danger to get the critical scoop-surviving captivity under Venezuela's secret police, anacondas in the Amazon, the eyes of literal hurricanes, and sniper fire abroad. What viewers didn't see was Matt's decades long grapple with panic attacks, hidden behind the façade of imperturbability he'd carefully constructed in their wake. A January 2020 broadcast caused this public persona to crumble. Mid-panic Gutman would misstate the facts of a major story, leading to a month-long suspension, public shame, and overwhelming regret. It was a wakeup call to address his condition head-on for the first time.

What ensued was a three-year quest for knowledge and treatment. Matt turned the handle of almost any door he could find: from searching for a magic pharmaceutical cocktail cure, to breathwork, to researching (and trying) psychedelics, and much more. By accessibly outlining the history of panic, Gutman's personal psychological landscape, and the lengths he goes to free himself, NO TIME TO PANIC dismantles the stigma associated with panic disorders.

Matt, and in turn the reader, would discover that more than a quarter of all Americans will suffer a panic attack in their lifetimes. That over 2.5 million Americans rush to a hospital each year thinking they could be dying of heart failure, when in fact they are having a panic attack. A personal journey and a guide, Gutman's NO TIME TO PANIC energetically outlines best practices, helpful tips, and practical solutions to finding possible paths towards an ultimate mind-body truce to help one overcome panic and anxiety.

*** NO TIME TO PANIC by MATT GUTMAN, ABC News’s chief national correspondent - an unflinching look at panic attacks by a reporter whose career was nearly derailed by them, offering readers a guide to making a truce with their warring minds.

Matt Gutman can tell you the precise moment when his life was upended. Reporting live on a huge story in January 2020, he found himself in the throes of an on-air panic attack-and not for the first time. The truth is that Gutman had been enduring panic attacks in secret for twenty years: soul-bruising episodes that left his vision constricted, his body damp, his nerves shot. Despite the challenges, he had carved out a formidable career, reporting from war zones and natural disasters before millions of viewers on Good Morning America, World News Tonight, and 20/20. He typically "punched through" to audiences, his TV appearances kinetic and often unforgettable.

But his January 2020 broadcast was unusual for all the wrong reasons. Mid-panic, Gutman misstated the facts of a story, a blunder that led to a monthlong suspension, not to mention public shame and personal regret. It was a reckoning. Gutman's panic attacks were too much for him to bear in secret. He needed help.

So began a personal journey into the science and treatment of panic attacks. Gutman would talk to the world's foremost scholars on panic and anxiety, who showed him that his mind wasn't broken; it's our perception of panic that needs recalibration. He would consult therapists and shamans, trying everything from group treatment and cognitive behavioral therapy to ayahuasca and psilocybin. And he would take a hard look at the trauma reverberating inside him-from his childhood, but also from his years as a conflict reporter.

Unsparing, perceptive, and often funny, this is the story of a panic sufferer who took on the monster within. Filled with wisdom and actionable insights, it's at once an inspirational journey and a road map-if not toward a singular cure, then to something only more worthy: peace of mind.

Court TV, the popular multi-platform network devoted to live courtroom coverage, expert analysis and in-depth legal reporting on the nation's most compelling trials and true crime stories, announced the debut of Opening Statements with Julie Grant, premiering on Monday, Sept. 11 and airing weekdays from 8-9am ET.

Joined by a team of top trial attorneys, investigators and forensic experts, Court TV anchor Julie Grant will guide viewers through the high-stakes trials that are on the docket each day, recapping the latest details and spotlighting every twist and turn dominating the headlines across the nation. "Our viewers already recognize Julie as a leading voice on the most important and complex legal news of the day, making her the perfect person to kick off our daily trial coverage," said Ethan Nelson, head of Court TV. "With Opening Statements, Court TV viewers have yet another reliable source of information on trials that are often anything but straightforward. The show joins Closing Arguments with Vinnie Politan in the evening as perfect bookends to our peerless trial and true crime coverage."

Grant has brought a powerful blend of journalism experience and legal expertise to Court TV since the network relaunched in 2019. The licensed attorney, former prosecutor and trial expert earned her J.D. from the University of Akron School of Law and her LL.M. in trial advocacy with Honors from Temple University School of Law. While serving as an assistant district attorney in Allegheny County, Pa., Grant tried numerous felony and misdemeanor cases before both judges and juries. Her Court TV colleagues call her "The Professor," as she has also taught in Temple's highly regarded LL.M. program and has taught for the National Institute for Trial Advocacy.
"My goal is to give our loyal viewers something special as soon as they wake up," said Grant. "I want them to have a cup of coffee with me, as we sit together and dive into all the fascinating cases in trial and true crime. Just as actual opening statements get the jury ready for the case evidence, this show will prep our audience for the action ahead on Court TV Live." Opening Statements with Julie Grant will lead into the network's Court TV LIVE trial coverage at 9am ET. The new show continues the notable growth at the network, which earlier this summer launched Court TV: Legendary Trials, a free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channel that features the nation's most high-profile cases over the past 30 years, curated from the massive Court TV trial archive.

Over the course of the past two years, she has undergone a profound transformation, adapting to a new reality as a single parent to two young children while shouldering the sole financial responsibility for her family's well-being. This new existence, devoid of her best friend and the love of her life, has presented her with the ongoing challenge of navigating the emotional turbulence it brings.

Through her experiences, she has gleaned a vital lesson about the unpredictability of life. She firmly believes that no one can afford to defer their dreams or postpone actions that truly matter. Tomorrow remains uncertain, carrying both the potential for blessings and adversity. Therefore, she advocates the importance of forging connections with loved ones, embracing opportunities that may seem "crazy," and, above all, seizing the damn chance.

With unwavering passion, she endeavors to spread this message far and wide, sharing real-life stories of individuals who have taken bold leaps and pursued seemingly unconventional paths that have ultimately transformed their lives. Her mission is clear: to inspire and support others in embracing opportunities and chasing their own dreams, no matter how audacious they may appear.

A highly trained martial artist and actor, Michael Jai White has broken barriers as a Hollywood star and international box office sensation. With his dynamic personality, agile abilities and a physique of a bodybuilder, Michael has earned respect for his versatile talents both on and off screen.

Born November 10th in Brooklyn, New York, it was after watching the movie Five Fingers of Death, Michael's interest in the martial arts began. At the tender age seven, Michael started taking weekly Japanese Jujitsu classes to stay focused while growing up on the tough streets of Brooklyn. By age eight, Michael's family relocated to Bridgeport, Connecticut where he studied the Shotokan and Kyokushin forms of karate and earned his first black belt by age 13. Upton graduating from Bridgeport's Central High School, Michael went on to further his education, first attending Southern Connecticut and then UConn. While winning multiple championships as a national martial arts competitor, Michael became a Special Education teacher at Wilbur Cross Elementary School in Bridgeport.

Bitten by the acting bug in college, while teaching, Michael began auditioning for commercials and acting gigs on weekends and summer breaks. Michael landed the lead role of Tom Robinson in the first Off-Broadway adaptation of To Kill A Mockingbird, starring opposite Tony Award Winner George Grizzard. Shortly after, Michael began landing jobs in commercials and guest starring roles on television shows and films; he eventually left teaching and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career full-time.

Before long, Michael would go on to guest star on such hit television shows as Saved by the Bell, Martin, NYPD Blue, and CSI. Proving his acting ability, Michael would soon be cast for the lead role of legendary boxer Mike Tyson in the HBO biopic Tyson which solidified his legitimacy as a dramatic actor in Hollywood. Michael was then cast to play the title character in the movie Spawn which came with the distinction of being the first black superhero in a major motion picture. As white cemented his Hollywood status as a bonafide action star, more diverse roles emerged that allowed him to showcase his physical prowess as well as display his on-screen charisma and comedic ability in such films as Exit Wounds, Undisputed 2, Silver Hawk, Blood & Bone, Black Dynamite and Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married and Why Did I Get Married Too playing opposite Tasha Smith. The two would ignite such on-screen chemistry, they would go on to start together in the long running OWN Network series, For Better or Worse.

Having proven himself as an actor, White would make his directorial debut with the action film Never Back Down 2: The Beatdown, in which he also starred. Based on the cult film Black Dynamite which White created and starred, he would go on to write and produce the hit animated television series bearing the same name. He would also win over audiences in a string of films, including Chain of Command, Chocolate City, Skin Trade, and Falcon Rising. He also guest stars in the recurring role of Ben Turner / Bronze Tiger on The CW hit series Arrow. He is currently directing and starring in Sony Pictures third installment of Never Back Down 3: No Surrender, and will also reprise his role as Princeton in the upcoming Chocolate City 2. As a martial artist, in 2013 Michael achieved his 8th black belt from mentor and legendary undefeated kick-boxing champion, Bill "Superfood" Wallace and was honored by Black Belt Magazine as their 2014 Man of the Year. Continuing the legacy of such greats as Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme, Michael is now the #1 martial arts action star in in America. Michael Jai White resides in Los Angeles with his wife, actress Gillian White and their three daughters.

After deciding to return for his 12th NFL season, Kelce embarked on a remarkable journey, highlighted by the arrival of his third daughter; the debut of his chart-topping podcast New Heights, which he co-hosts with brother, Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro tight end Travis; and a history-making Super Bowl appearance that placed the entire Kelce family at the center of the sports world.

But as the season came to a close, Kelce was still left grappling with what life looks like after he moves on from the game he loves, and if this hungry dog has one more run in him.

"Jason Kelce has established himself as one of the most compelling and influential characters in sports, both on and off the field," said Matt Newman, head of Prime Video Original sports content. "We're privileged to partner with Skydance Sports, 9.14 Pictures, Vera Y Productions, and NFL Films on this project, which welcomes fans into the psyche of one of the greatest centers in the history of the league for what is arguably the wildest and most eventful season of his illustrious career."

Presented by Prime Video Sports and Skydance Sports, Kelce is produced by 9.14 Pictures, Vera Y Productions, and NFL Films. Kelce is executive produced by Connor Barwin; David Ellison, Jesse Sisgold, and Jon Weinbach of Skydance Sports; and Ross Ketover, Pat Kelleher, and Keith Cossrow of NFL Films. Sheena M. Joyce, Don Argott, and Larry Platt serve as producers. Argott also serves as director.

While preserving the stories in the original edition of the people who were in New York City on that fateful day and in the days and months that followed, Damon DiMarco's Tower Stories: An Oral History of 9/11 offers additional interviews that provide a contemporary perspective on the tragedy. "Never forget" has become part of our lexicon in remembering the tragedy of 9/11. But why do we remember? According to Alice Greenwald, President and CEO of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, who was interviewed for the new edition, ".remembrance is essential to moral conscience.(to) determine what's right and what's wrong. and to ask ourselves what we are capable of as human beings, both at our worst and at our best." While confronting unfathomable loss, the individuals featured in the book speak to the myriad ways by which Americans rose to meet the challenges presented by 9/11and its aftermath, honoring the many heroes that are found within its pages. Some of the stories preserved from earlier editions feature the small group of people who miraculously made it safely down from the 89th floor of Tower 1; the New York Times reporter who desperately fought her way through the fleeing crowds to get back into Lower Manhattan; the paramedic who set up a triage area 200 yards from the base of the Towers before they collapsed; and the bereaved citizens of New York City who struggled to get on with their lives in the days and months following the tragic event among dozens of others. MSNBC said Tower Stories was "arguably the most successful attempt at capturing the enormity of the events of 9/11. Damon DiMarco's sprawling oral history (presents) human stories.with a raw candor a thousand times more affecting than any cold statistic offered by a commission.a riveting and disarmingly emotional read." This best-selling and critically acclaimed book on 9/11continues in the tradition of Studs Terkel, encapsulating a wide variety of viewpoints from everyday citizens. DiMarco's literary time capsule offers new insights that benefit from twenty years of reflection on the world-shattering event, capturing the voices of individuals such as: . Reverend Jim Martin, New York Times bestselling author and Jesuit priest: "Your interior life, your sense of right and wrong, can guide you. But very often, we don't pay attention. We can't forget how parts of our society were impelled to help.But then other parts were like, 'We're gonna show them.' . Tom Haddad, survivor of the 89th floor, Tower 1: "After 9/11, there was common cause. It was really inspiring. And then . . . it faded.". Stephen Adly Guirgis Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright based in NY: "Still there's a part of me that misses the old days. Like, when you interacted with people in the street, you did it through the filter of We Live in New York." . Glenn Guzi, Program Director at Port Authority of NY & NJ: "I don't mind telling you there were days when I thought, 'I don't know how we're going to do this.' The story of rebuilding downtown is a story of cooperation. we saw the power and beauty of humanity when good people come together." Their stories, along with those preserved from the original edition of Tower Stories: An Oral History of 9/11, not only reconnect readers to what was lost on 9/11, but also to what can still be gained by remembering. DiMarco says, "Originally, the Tower Stories project sprang from the disturbing notion that the memory of September 11might someday fade from the world consciousness. Two decades later I find myself less concerned over what we forget and more intrigued by what we remember and why. Tower Stories: An Oral History of 9/11 is to remind us of the humanity and unity we are capable of as a country, as citizens and as people." ABOUT DAMON DIMARCO Damon DiMarco is the author of The Brown Agenda (with Richard Fuller), Heart of War: Soldiers' Voices from the Front Lines in Iraq, and My Two Chinas: The Memoir of a Chinese Counter-Revolutionary (with Baiqiao Tang), as well as The Actor's Art & Craft and The Actor's Guide to Creating a Character (both with William Esper). DiMarco has been a guest on national television and radio, including FOX, CNN, The National Geographic Channel, and the Premiere Radio Network. He has been a guest speaker at colleges, universities, and community groups across the country. A professional actor as well as a writer, Damon has appeared in primetime and daytime television programs on CBS, ABC, and NBC; commercials; independent films; regional theatres; and trade shows. He has written for the stage, television, and screen, and taught acting on the faculties of Drew University in Madison, New Jersey and the New York Film Academy in Manhattan. He teaches writing to PhD students in the History and Culture program at Drew University's Caspersen School of Graduate Studies. REVEREND JAMES MARTIN REFLECTS ON THE GRACE HE SAW ON THE PILE AFTER 9/11(FROM TOWER STORIES) In those first few days at 9/11, do you remember all the talk about missing people? Posters of the missing went up all over the city. Of course - again - there were no survivors. But we didn't know that then. There was an article in the paper that said if you're a family member and you're looking for someone, you could check lists from all the hospitals. And there was a center set up at the New School, at one of their buildings. On 12th Street, I think it was. I went down there to help people, to counsel them. But there wasn't a lot to do. The next day, I went back to Chelsea Piers. I was still looking for a way to contribute. And this is where the ministry kind of started. A police cruiser came up to me. The police officer leaned out and said, "Do you want to go down there?" I was wearing my Roman collar, so I was easy to recognize. I said yes. "Get in," he said. I'll never forget it. We drove from Chelsea Piers. I was in the backseat with a psychiatrist. I think the police officer had just sort of picked him up, too. We drove further and further south. That's when I started to see how things were. See, if you were in Manhattan . . . say, near the 40s and 50s . . . you couldn't really tell something was wrong. I mean, sure, there was less traffic. And there was the smell. Other than that, though, things seemed pretty normal. But then we kept driving down past 14th Street. And you started to see, like . . . ash. We kept going south, and I saw fires burning all over the place. This was on September 13. We pulled right up to the site. I got out. The psychiatrist said, "Good luck." The car drove away. I was by myself at the Pile. It was really overwhelming, like a scene from a war movie. Terrifying. The scale of it. These huge jagged remains of the building. And it was still on fire, still smoking. Other buildings nearby were still burning, too. And the smell was . . . well. You knew you were standing next to a grave.I saw hundreds of uniformed personnel from every possible agency. Like an alphabet soup of initials: OSHA and CIA and FBI and army people. Policemen and firemen. This was before any sort of order had been imposed on the place. In a few weeks or a few days, maybe, there would be fences. But I just walked right in. Back then, even the term "Ground Zero" was new. I remember looking around and wondering what I could possibly do. And here I thank my Jesuit training. Because, I thought, I cannot work in the morgue. I just didn't think I was capable of doing that. But I thought that at least I could minister to the rescue workers. So that's what I started to do.When I say minister, I mean trying to help them. You listen to them. "How are you?" That sort of thing. Most of this is what we call a ministry of presence. In the same way as if you were a firehouse chaplain or a police chaplain, you help people to find God where they are. To know God's present among them. But you know what was funny? The people I met were more solicitous of me. I kept hearing, "How are you doing, Father? Are you okay? Is this difficult for you?" It was so generous. Everyone I saw was so other-directed. Other-centered. This was evidenced by their already being down there. I found it very moving.So that's what I did for a couple of weeks. I was walking around, ministering, helping people. By that point, we knew there were no survivors. It was just rescue workers. Then I brought other Jesuits down and we celebrated Mass there, which was incredible. I wrote about this in my book "Searching for God at Ground Zero." Which, actually has reminiscences that are probably more accurate. Because, you know, it was over 20 years ago. Which I still can't believe. I just can't believe it. My experience of Ground Zero was one where the Holy Spirit was present. It was a place of generosity and love, community and union. Charity, concord, and service. There were all these people working for others. And remember, you had people coming from all over the country. In those early days, anyone would come in. Firefighters, sure, but also . . . there were these women from the Midwest who'd set up a candy stand. I'll never forget that. So while, for many, Ground Zero was a place of Good Friday - the suffering, dying and burial of Christ - I saw a different aspect. I saw it as a place of Easter Sunday. Because there was a sense of new life there. Both these things present at the same site. What do I mean by the term "Holy Spirit?" I mean God's presence. An active presence. And that's important. Because you could say that God's presence is everywhere, the idea that God's spirit pervades the world as a sort of benign presence. But I believe God's Spir

Josh Hurt Bio

Josh Hurt, a native of San Antonio, Texas and one of its most sought after and recognized singers, brings an energetic and refreshing sound to music. He sang his first solo in church at the age of 7 and since then his love for music has grown and now it is very evident that it’ll always be a part of his life.

Joshua, with his musical talent, has the ability to appeal to the young as well as the seasoned audience. He musically discloses traditional gospel, while at the same time he possesses the gift to croon the more modern Christian & Inspirational music. Still in his twenties, he states, “I want to be able to appeal to all ages with my music and be more than the traditional gospel artist that some of my critics assumed I was destined to become. I believe God is showing me how to be more universal with my sound.” Josh is blessed with the opportunity to sing at many conferences, mostly called upon to lead praise & worship. In 2002, Joshua became Minister of Music and lead singer at Harvest Ministries, a thriving and progressive ministry in San Antonio, Texas.

Since then, he has become a music advisor, vocal coach in San Antonio for many ministries and has helped in the organization and growth of several music ministries. Along with its founder, Joshua helped organize The Breakthrough Community Choir, United Praise, and Divine Favor all of San Antonio, Texas under Breakthrough Gospel Promotions.

Undeniably called to musically bridge denominational gaps, Josh carries a burden for uniting believers to worship the Father in spirit and in truth. It is further his desire to inspire and encourage other young men to cast aside the tough guy stereotype and relentlessly pursue the presence of God in worship. Josh also mentors worship leaders of various ages, frequently being called upon to help them bridge the gap in their churches between Traditional Gospel and Christian Contemporary Music sounds. He is often requested to lead Praise and Worship workshops as well as conduct choir workshops.

After walking away from what could have been a tragic automobile accident in early 2015. Josh credits God’s hand of deliverance for giving him a new lease on life. With even greater determination than before, he is taking full advantage of each day God gives him to do the will of the Father.

Season 15 of "American Ninja Warrior" returns with the most elite athletes in the country competing on the world's most difficult obstacle courses. Hosts Matt Iseman and Akbar Gbajabiamila, along with co-host Zuri Hall, are back to call the action as the ninjas make their way through the qualifying and semifinal rounds in Los Angeles before moving to the national finals in Las Vegas. With the biggest changes in show history, Season 15 will challenge the ninjas to race side-by-side and head-to-head across a high-stakes course with a spot in the national finals on the line. At stake is a top prize of $1 million for the fastest ninja who can conquer all four stages at the national finals.

There is a 1 Million Dollar winner this season. In the past 14 seasons, this has only happened twice. The fastest ninja at the final stage always wins prize money, but if they are faster than the rest of the competitors AND reach the top in under 30 seconds, the prize becomes $1M. The show airs 2-hour episodes Monday nights at 8/7c on NBC with the finale on Sept 11th.

In a small town struggling with addiction, a local sheriff (John Travolta) tries to maintain the peace when desperate family man Shelby (Shiloh Fernandez) robs a pill mill. The supposedly easy score takes a violent turn, alerting the New Orleans mafia's revenge-seeking enforcer.

Here's the trailer:

NICHOLAS MAGGIO INTERVIEW WITH MOVIEWEB


Here's a case for catharsis through creativity. Writer/director Nicholas Maggio made the new John Travolta action thriller Mob Land for his 13-year-old self. "I was 13 and in my friend's basement in Pennsylvania, and we got a copy of the VHS for Reservoir Dogs," Maggio admitted. "I remember having my mind just absolutely blown that this was all possible. I didn't know that film because I grew up with my dad. We watched Ben-Hur and Lawrence of Arabia. We didn't watch French Connection or Bullet. I had never seen this gritty kind of film before.

"That's when I fell in love with filmmaking," he quickly added. "I fell in love with what film could be, especially the independent films of the 1990s." Decades later, Maggio has given birth to a gritty action-packed tale, which he co-wrote with Rob Healy.

The story takes place deep in the heart of Dixie, where a small town is struggling with a rise in addiction. An intrepid sheriff (John Travolta) keeps things in check as best as he can, but when Shelby, a frenetic family man (Shiloh Fernandez of Evil Dead) robs a pill mill with Trey (Kevin Dillon of Entourage), his reckless brother-in-law, things turn dire. The New Orleans mafia enters the picture, and the action kicks up.

Curiously, Nicholas Maggio was inspired to create the tale, thanks to an unconventional encounter about seven years ago. An avid muscle cars fan, he found several guys on Instagram who shared the same interest. They were located in the northern part of Alabama.

"They were all about driving these old beat up muscle cars and I had never met them. I didn't know anything about them. So, I hit them up on Instagram, and said, 'Hey, I want to come down and take photos of you guys.' So literally, a buddy of mine in New York met me in Alabama, and we ended up becoming very good friends with these guys. And we documented their lives for four or five days."

Maggio loved the area - both his parents were born and raised in Mississippi - and he found northern Alabama intriguing. "It wasn't totally new to me, but it was a side I hadn't seen before. And they were taking me to all these small towns where they're from. So, I knew I wanted to write a story that revolved somewhat around these guys, and this idea of what the American Dream is, and what it means to them. It's definitely fictionalized, and I ran with it. I mean, my buddies in north Alabama are not hooked on pills and run clinics. But it is something that, you know, they probably have friends who do."

Between Paradise City and Die Hart, it's been interesting to track Travolta's career choices of late. Regardless, there's a fascinating sense of ownership and power in what the Grease and Pulp Fiction star brings to the screen in Mob Land. Once the action gets rolling, audiences discover that the man fueling the New Orleans mafia twist here is a revenge-seeking brute (Stephen Dorff of Blade, Old Henry), who soon threatens Shelby's wife (Ashley Benson of Pretty Little Liars) and daughter. Travolta's beleaguered sheriff has to rise to the occasion.

"John read the script, and he expressed to me that it was something he could see himself doing," Maggio says. "I had a couple of conversations with John and as a first-time director, I think some people grilled me a little bit, wanting to know things. I got very different questions from everyone. But John wanted to know what I was going to do with the film, and why I wanted to make it."

"He was pretty interested in not just the technical aspect of what I was going to do, he was more interested in why and what it meant to me, which is really fun. But once he was involved, I mean, we tore through it."

Along the way, Maggio kept recalling his younger self, and why it was important for him to make a film that was, in some ways, a throwback to those 1990s action movies.

"That whole scene, the whole genre, all the great films that we got out of that era was incredible," he said. "For Mob Land, I wanted to do not just a love letter to the American neo-noir genre, but to the independent film spirit. I wanted it linear, simple, you know. filled with great characters. I wanted it to be defined by its protagonists and antagonists. Brutal and poetic."

It’s no secret that economic concerns are one of the most common reasons women opt for an abortion.

As former owner and CEO of Cross Media, Jeff built that company from 4 to 80 employees, and grew sales from $400K to over $14 million. He brings a breadth of knowledge about leadership development and sales cycle management. Most recently, Jeff was a managing partner of CGO Partners, a consulting firm focused on corporate growth. After learning about Human Coalition (HuCo) in 2010, Jeff was so moved by how the organization verifiably saves preborn children from abortion, he began volunteering. He eventually left the business world to work with Human Coalition full time in 2012. Since then, he’s helped grow HuCo into one of the nation’s largest pro-life organizations. Jeff graduated from the University of Texas (Austin) and holds a BS in Finance. He and his wife Tricia have four children.

The cast member of VH1's popular "Love & Hip Hop Hollywood" series is affectionately known as Auntie Yo-Yo. Raised in the South Central district of Los Angeles, her big break came when she appeared on Ice Cube's 1990 debut, "It's A Man's World," representing her gender in admirable style. Her own debut "Make Way for the Motherload" introduced her confident attitude along with the formation of the Intelligent Black Women's Coalition organization, which is now expanding into the virtual space to continue its work helping young girls learn to love themselves. Her songs "You Can't Play With My YoYo," "Bonnie & Clyde Theme" with Ice Cube and her iconic features on Jamaican goddess Patra's hit song "Romantic Call" and Brandy's "I Wanna Be Down" remix with MC Lyte and Queen Latifah are classics.

As a testament to her humanitarianism, in 2021, Yo-Yo received a Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award from President Biden for her philanthropic work, national-wide, in the community. In 2022, she received another Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award from the Biden Administration and presented an Honorary Doctor of Philosophy in Humanitarianism from Leaders Esteem Christian Bible University. In partnership with the National College Resource Foundation and Black College Expo, Yo-Yo has awarded over $60,000 in scholarships and continue to promote education through hip hop. This work is dear to Yo-Yo's heart.

As a film actress, Sarah appeared in Giancarlo Esposito's "The Show," opposite Josh Duhamel and Famke Jannsen, 20th Century Fox's "The Other Side of the Door," Voltage Pictures' "Pay the Ghost," opposite Nicolas Cage, Warner Brothers' and Broken Road's geo-thriller, "Into the Storm," and "Black November" opposite Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger.

Expanding her passion for storytelling, Sarah is the creator, writer, director, and voice of the science fiction, post-apocalyptic scripted podcast "Aftershock," the second season of which is due out in April from iHeart radio. As a writer, Sarah has several screenplays in development with various television and motion picture entities.

ABOUT AFTERSHOCK SEASON 2

When an earthquake levels the West Coast of the US and kills the love of CASSIE'S (Sarah Wayne Callies) life, she makes a promise to him to find and protect his daughter, McKAYLA (Tati Gabrielle), who, prior to the quake, ran away in anger, blaming Cassie for breaking up her parents' marriage. However, the earthquake was so powerful it caused a giant island to rise 26 miles off the coast. Cassie discovers McKayla is on the island and, with the help of seemingly good Samaritan WAYNE SHARP (David Harbour), they navigate through the chaotic aftermath of Los Angeles to the island. Others have also made their way to the island, leaving behind their old lives in hopes of starting something new. As tribalism sets in and boundaries are drawn, the islanders will discover something else has risen with the island, something that threatens them all. Told from the perspective of Cassie and Wayne's interrogation onboard a Naval cruiser three weeks later by CAPTAIN MARK DOVER (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), we will discover the story of what happened on the island, why Cassie and Wayne are the only survivors, and whatever killed everyone on the island is now starting manifest itself on the ship.

From having to scavenge for food and sleep in his car, he has built a successful business that allowed him to give cars away. AJ's story captivates audiences as he shares simple yet powerful mental hacks to transform nearly any situation in life.

Driven by his passion for change and helping others, AJ delved into studying human behavior and what it takes to facilitate personal transformation. His first challenge was helping himself. From his own difficult circumstances, he progressed to giving away his first two cars to complete strangers during Christmas of 2016.

The act of giving cars away touched AJ profoundly, prompting him to continue his generosity over the next two years. In that time, he gave away an additional three cars to people in need. The most significant gift he gave was on his 37th birthday when he was able to provide his mother with a car.

AJ's deep understanding of neuroscience, epigenetics, quantum physics, and humor enables him to connect with audiences from all walks of life. He has authored three books: "Day Grades," "Root and Rise: The Scary Growth Process of Success," and "F* You Money: How to Afford Your Freedom."

Currently residing in Medellin, Colombia, AJ hosts retreats that equip ambitious leaders with the tools to live freely on their own terms. Through his experiences and expertise, AJ empowers individuals to overcome challenges, create positive change, and live a life of freedom.

This is the story of a woman who witnessed the worst in the War in Afghanistan, was confronted by demons of post-traumatic stress, and fought for her life to become stronger than ever. Fresh out of high school, Kelsi Sheren, a diminutive nineteen-year-old woman, sought to join the military to help liberate those oppressed by the Taliban in Afghanistan. While she was often the smallest person in basic training, she proved she had the biggest heart and often the most energy. She made it to Afghanistan and joined a British military unit for house-to-house insurgent patrol. What she saw there was unimaginable death and destruction-including the killing of a brother-in-arms. Devastated, Kelsi was sent home to get her head straight, but even therapy and medication couldn't clear her mind-or let her sleep. When two others who served with her later took their own lives, she feared that was the only way out. Clinging to life and the love of her husband and child, she knew she wasn't ready to give in. Finding respite in a jewelry business that utilized spent shell casings, and with the help of innovative grief therapy, Kelsi not only survived but continues to thrive-and works tirelessly to spread the word and help others.

ABOUT KELSI SHEREN

Kelsi Sheren is a combat veteran and artillery gunner in the Canadian military who served in Afghanistan in 2009 with the Canadian, American, and British armed forces. She was a competitive Tae Kwon Do champion from the ages of four to nineteen and holds a second-degree black belt. After deploying to Afghanistan at nineteen, Kelsi was diagnosed with PTSD and sent home only to begin a new war-the war with herself. When her therapist recommended art therapy, Kelsi started making jewelry out of spent shell casings. She began with a warrior bracelet that led to the creation of a successful jewelry and eyewear brand, Brass & Unity. Twenty percent of net profits go toward helping veterans who are suffering from PTSD, depression, anxiety, and suicide. In 2020, Brass & Unity was nominated for Canada's top fashion award, The CAFA Fashion Impact Award. Brass & Unity has developed an avid following among celebrities such as Ellen DeGeneres, Beth Behrs, Michael Bublé, Jenna Dewan, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Julianne Hough and has been featured on Ellen, Good Morning America, The Today Show, People, InStyle, Forbes, ELLE, Fashion, Carson Daly's "Mind Matters," and BuzzFeed.

Jerome Surles is awaiting a new lease on life. Ten years ago, while undergoing a routine health checkup, he was diagnosed with stage 2 renal disease. This diagnosis came as a surprise to Jerome as he doesn’t have a family history of this condition. Unfortunately, his health has continued to decline. Now doctors say a kidney transplant is necessary. While awaiting his transplant, he endures regular dialysis treatments, which leave him exhausted and take a toll on his quality of life.

During such a challenging time, Jerome is thankful to be surrounded by a strong support system. His beautiful wife, Kiya, their four children, and two grandchildren, have been by his side every step of the way providing much needed love and encouragement. While it has been very hard for Jerome and Kiya, these circumstances have also brought them closer together, strengthened their trust in each other, and given them perspective on what matters most in life. Jerome looks forward to the kidney transplant that will allow him to live his life fully again. More than anything, he would like to return to coaching, working on his cars, and spending time with his children and grandchildren, but right now, he needs your help.

Unfortunately, Jerome’s hope for a new life comes at a very high price.

The average kidney transplant costs approximately $442,000. And that is only the beginning. Even with health insurance, which will cover a portion of the transplant costs, he faces significant expenses related to the surgery. For the rest of his life, he will need follow-up care and daily anti-rejection medications. Post-transplant medications are very expensive, and they are as critical to his survival as the transplant itself.

Jerome must travel to reach his transplant center for evaluations and doctors’ appointments. When he receives his transplant, Jerome and his caregiver will need to stay near the hospital during recovery, adding to the financial strain.

You can help by making a tax-deductible donation in any amount. This will go a long way to aid in supporting Jerome and his family during this time.

If you'd prefer to send your gift by mail, please send it to:

What if you were living on borrowed time?

Jerome Surles is awaiting a new lease on life. Ten years ago, while undergoing a routine health checkup, he was diagnosed with stage 2 renal disease. This diagnosis came as a surprise to Jerome as he doesn’t have a family history of this condition. Unfortunately, his health has continued to decline. Now doctors say a kidney transplant is necessary. While awaiting his transplant, he endures regular dialysis treatments, which leave him exhausted and take a toll on his quality of life.

During such a challenging time, Jerome is thankful to be surrounded by a strong support system. His beautiful wife, Kiya, their four children, and two grandchildren, have been by his side every step of the way providing much needed love and encouragement. While it has been very hard for Jerome and Kiya, these circumstances have also brought them closer together, strengthened their trust in each other, and given them perspective on what matters most in life. Jerome looks forward to the kidney transplant that will allow him to live his life fully again. More than anything, he would like to return to coaching, working on his cars, and spending time with his children and grandchildren, but right now, he needs your help.

An unflinching exploration of the tragic results of structural racism, de-industrialization, the failed war on drugs, and poverty, in the what has been called the “meanest city in America”.

He brings to light the long-term impact, both positive and negative, on his home life and business career…. with insights about leadership, courage, PTSD, and life lessons learned. These are stories that will stay with your listeners long past the end of his presentation.

Bio:
Bio: Promoted to 1st Lieutenant after only one year, Robin Bartlett at 22 assumed the leadership of the 1st Platoon, A Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). Over the next seven months, he led a platoon on more than sixty helicopter combat assaults and search and destroy missions.

Bartlett grew up in a military family. His grandfather, father and brother all attended West Point, but after thirteen elementary and middle schools and four high schools, he decided he’d had enough of the military. But in college, as the Vietnam War escalated and eighteen-year-olds were drafted daily, Bartlett joined his college’s ROTC program and fell back into a familiar routine. Upon graduation as a Distinguished Military Graduate he volunteered for Infantry, Airborne, and Ranger training, and assignment to the 82d Airborne Division. He got everything he asked for…and more.
Bartlett holds a BA degree in Comparative Literature from Claremont McKenna College in California and a master’s degree in Media from Pace University in NYC. He has written numerous business publications and a professional book published by Dun & Bradstreet.

He is the President of the NY/NJ Chapter of the 1st Cavalry Division Association, and a proud member of the 82d Airborne Division Association. He and his wife live in Norwood, New Jersey, and have three sons, none of whom have pursued military careers.

Falling Into Fire Book

Anyone you may ask will have a story about finding love, how difficult it was to attain, the pitfalls, the horrors of breakups, loneliness, and the doubts of self-worth that accompany such heartache. This story is based on true events, about a young woman, struggling with the rigors of her writing career coming face to face with the inner struggles she has kept hidden for most of her life. A fantasy exploration. An odyssey of the human condition, of her search for love, companionship, sex, and their meaning. All, while dealing with every aspect of her psyche, her heart, and possibly her very soul.

Falling Into Fire is a celebration of life, death, relationships, and the journey we each undergo in our individual pursuits to be loved.

After nearly a decade of studying the performance habits of high achieving athletes, Ahmard has developed programs of inspiration and motivation that are beneficial to individuals, professionals, companies, and organizations worldwide.

In 2011, Ahmard published Awaken the Baller Within, which was quickly labeled as the “athlete’s life manual” by some pundits in sports media. This book was taught in more than a dozen colleges and close to fifty athletic departments and sports camps. As a mental performance coach, Ahmard helped secure more than $6 million dollars in scholarship monies and worked with athletes at the Division I level and the National Football League.

Not long after a successful career as a college football recruiting analyst with Scout.com, a
Fox Sports affiliate, Ahmard founded That Guy Media Group and expanded his platform to small business and nonprofit organizations where he focused on dream building, goal setting, and a relentless pursuit of the aforementioned. By teaching his audiences to recognize their strengths, and capitalize on the power that everyone harnesses within, individuals can realize previously unimagined levels of personal happiness and success.

Ahmard is becoming one of the most sought-after motivational speakers in the world, working in countries like Zambia and Abu Dhabi (UAE). In the United States, he’s inspired professionals at companies like the Boys and Girls Club, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the Salvation Army. His college clients include Prairie View A&M, Houston Community College and West Texas A&M.

He published his second book, I Am More Than Enough, in April 2019 to address many of his clients’ confidence challenges in their personal and professional lives. When Ahmard is not traveling, speaking, or writing, he works as a humanitarian and teen ministry leader, volunteering his time to inspire youth to envision their futures beyond their challenges and circumstances. He is also an avid reader and fitness coach, teaching cycling classes in North Houston.

Coach Bill Courtney of Oscar-Winning Undefeated launches 'An Army of Normal Folks' Movement and podcast empower Americans to change our country by 'each of us doing what we can.

Business leader and football coach Bill Courtney joins with other "ordinary" Americans doing extraordinary work to solve our nation's problems through the new movement, An Army of Normal Folks. "Our country's problems will never be solved by a bunch of fancy people in nice suits talking big words in Washington, but by An Army of Normal Folks just deciding 'hey, I can help,'" said Courtney.

Based on his own example, Courtney is joining with the nonprofit Iron Light Labs to launch
An Army of Normal Folks. Founder of Classic American Hardwoods, Inc., in 2003, he became a volunteer football coach in America's third poorest zip code and yet 31 out of 32 seniors in his last two seasons went to college. Their success on and off the field was the subject of the documentary film, Undefeated, which won an Academy Award in 2012. "We believe that everyone has the power to create change, no matter how 'ordinary' they or their actions may seem," said Courtney. "And if there's An Army of Normal Folks just doing what we can, imagine how different our country could be." As part of the movement, Courtney hosts the iHeartMedia podcast An Army of Normal Folks. iHeartMedia is the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac.

The podcast features interviews with members of the Army such as Arkansas Police Officer Tommy Norman and Back on My Feet Founder Anne Mahlum. It aims to inspire listeners and present fascinating models that can be replicated in their own communities. All individuals are invited to join An Army of Normal Folks.

AN ARMY OF NORMAL FOLKS - BACKGROUND

America is at a crossroads.

While still having an enviable position in the 21st century, we also suffer from deep divisions, both perceived and very real. From politics and culture to race and religion, Americans seem to disagree on almost everything.

These challenges are complex and multifaceted. And they're not being solved by politicians. Instead, the greatest power lies in the hands of ordinary citizens doing what they can in their own communities. And if each of us does this, just imagine how different our country could be.

Our solution is An Army of Normal Folks.

A grassroots movement led by Coach Bill Courtney, former volunteer football coach of Manassas High School and the subject of the 2012 Academy Award-winning documentary Undefeated, An Army of Normal Folks brings together Americans of all stripes committed to "doing what we can."

Bill and his fellow changemakers believe that by taking action in ordinary but meaningful ways, such as volunteering, donating, and changing even only one other person's life, An Army of Normal Folks can make all of the difference. This is how America can overcome its problems: one life and one community at a time.

Featuring stories of ordinary folks overcoming life's obstacles and their own demons to make an extraordinary difference, the "An Army of Normal Folks" podcast provides a rallying cry for every individual to join a movement that can change the country. The iHeart Radio podcast, which is hosted by Courtney, launched in May 2023 and delivers much-needed inspirational, redemptive, and unifying content. Episodes include fellow members of the Army, such as:

● Tommy Norman, North Little Rock Police Officer known as the "Michael Jordan of Community Policing"

● Anne Mahlum, Back on My Feet founder that's helped over 7,500 homeless Americans secure jobs and independent housing through running

● Luke Mickelson, Sleep in Heavenly Peace founder whose 270 chapters have built over 140,000 beds for kids without them

● Rodney Smith Jr., Raising Men and Women Lawn Care founder who's inspired over 4,300 kids to take the "50 Yard Challenge" of cutting 50 lawns for free for those in need

● Arshay Cooper, rower, the protagonist of the critically acclaimed film A Most Beautiful Thing and leader in starting inner-city rowing programs

● Jon Ponder, a three-time convicted felon whose nonprofit Hope for Prisoners has helped over 4,700 returning citizens in Las Vegas, with only an 8% recidivism rate

● Erin Smith, head of the CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) program in Northwest Mississippi, and Thomas, a former foster care child she mentored

● Chavis Daniels, a former Manassas Tiger football player under Coach Bill's leadership who has since mentored over 1,000 kids in Memphis

● Bob Zaccheo, who offers "therapy under the hood of a car" to over 5,000 at-risk kids through Project LIFT

WILLIAM B. (BILL) COURTNEY BIO

William B. Courtney (Bill), a native Memphian, launched An Army of Normal Folks in 2023 on the belief that if each of us just does what we can in our own communities, we can change the country. Bill doesn't just "talk the talk;" he knows this sentiment to be true. A successful business owner, Bill founded Classic American Hardwoods, Inc. in 2001. He continues to operate the company, which today employs 140 people with a 45-acre manufacturing facility and domestic sales offices in Memphis, Tennessee and international sales offices in Shanghai, China and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. As the son of a single mom who married five guys, Bill had many coaches who were his real father figures and invested in him. Because of this, helping other kids like himself has been a central part of his life.

In 2003, Bill began volunteering as a football coach at Memphis' inner-city Manassas High School in an effort to turn around its underperforming football team of 19 players with a dismal 4-95, 10-year record. The school is located in a neighborhood where young men are three times more likely to be dead or in jail than have a job or be in college. Prior to Bill's involvement, the Manassas Tigers football team had never won a playoff game in its 110-year history. Under Bill's leadership, the team's record improved to 18-2 with 75 players in the 2008 and 2009 seasons. But Bill's involvement went beyond football. "My philosophy on coaching doesn't start with X's and O's. it starts with believing that players win games and coaches win players," he stated. Bill became a mentor to the mostly fatherless young men on the team, teaching them leadership skills, assisting them academically and caring for their physical and emotional needs. During his final two seasons coaching, 31 out of their 32 seniors went to college, which rarely happens in a neighborhood like Manassas.

The story of Bill coaching inspired the Hollywood film, Undefeated, which won the 2012 Academy Award for Best Feature Length Documentary.

While Bill ended his coaching career with the Manassas Tigers in 2012, he continues to coach a variety of teams and support efforts in and around Memphis. He is the co-founder of Man Rise, an organization that gives financial support to help five city schools with their football programs. He previously served on the board of Orphanos Foundation and supports St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and The North Memphis Steelers, a mentoring and athletics association founded by Chavis Daniels, one of the central figures featured in Undefeated.

Bill's achievements and service have been recognized by several entities. In 2011, he was inducted into Bridge Builders for leadership in diversity, community and justice. He was the 2012 recipient of the Liberty Bowl's Harry Zinn Spirit of 1776 award for distinguished citizenship, recipient of the Carnival Memphis' King's Award for Outstanding Achievement in Business and Industry, and the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame Memphis chapter's award winner for the distinguished American for Contribution to Amateur Athletics. In 2013, he was inducted into the prestigious Society of Entrepreneurs for his success in business and community service. He is the author of "Against the Grain: A Coach's Wisdom on Character, Faith, Family, and Love," released in 2014, and is a national speaker on topics of leadership, character and business. He was a keynote speaker at the Paralympics in Colorado Springs, with Nike, PepsiCo, FedEx, and other nationally recognized companies, and has spoken at numerous churches, schools and hospitals.

Bill also hosts "An Army of Normal Folks," a podcast launched in May 2023. Bill is a graduate of The University of Mississippi. He and his wife Lisa have four children and reside in Memphis.

Through her book, Toxic Family: Transforming Childhood Trauma into Adult Freedom, Susan turns the standard paradigm on its head courageously leading others through her own journey of abuse, addiction, and surviving narcissism all while creating a distinctly empowering personal and professional life.
LONG A BIO: Susan Gold was raised in a challenging and chaotic family system, the middle child of five. To fully thrive, she bravely chose to meet the demons of her upbringing that were continuing to repeat. Her book, "Toxic Family: Transforming Childhood Trauma into Adult Freedom" is about that journey.

Professionally, Susan became known for attaching celebrity talent to projects in NYC which led her to produce for television and film and on to Los Angeles. She convinced modern art legend Andy Warhol to do an on-camera commercial for Pontiac, a talent deal American TV personality Donny Deutsch still claims as one of his best, helped launch Fox News Channel at the request of Chair, Roger Ailes, and on behalf of Disney Channel persuaded A-list celebrities including Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Taylor Swift, David Beckham and more to be interviewed by cartoon characters…Phineas & Ferb.

Susan is a decorated endurance athlete competing in three marathons, and dozens of triathlons and has the distinction of finishing third in her age group at the treacherous Escape from Alcatraz event.

After living with force on both coasts of the United States, Susan heeded an intuitive call for a quieter life and now resides in the northwest corner of the mystical state of Montana with her beloved partner and their pets. Keen on leaving a legacy to help others heal from challenges she’s successfully met, Toxic Family: Transforming Childhood Trauma into Adult Freedom, is part of that quest. With the same magic Susan created in her entertainment career, she is now leading retreats, webinars, workshops and private sessions to help others drop outdated storylines and programming in exchange for living from the heart in authentic freedom as adults.

Supporting homeless animals, especially dogs, and cats, and helping others up the ladder are her joys. Her pride is her son, a political science major at the University of the Pacific.

Blackstone Publishing is thrilled to announce the forthcoming release of Critics Choice award winning producer known for creating some of the longest-running unscripted series in history Arthur Smith's book, REACH: HARD LESSONS AND LEARNED TRUTHS FROM A LIFETIME IN TELEVISION.

One of the most daring, creative, and influential minds in nonfiction television, Arthur Smith draws on the most exciting moments of his pioneering career as a producer to show how far you can go when you reach for your dreams.

Arthur Smith is famous for his innovation and audacity, and as the man behind some of the longest-running unscripted series in television history. His groundbreaking hit Hell's Kitchen forged the modern food competition reality genre, while his Emmy-nominated American Ninja Warrior has spawned a cultural movement, with Ninja-inspired gyms in every major American city.

In Reach, Smith shares adventures, triumphs, and hard-won lessons from his astonishing career, beginning with his unprecedented ascension from the ranks of sports production to become the youngest-ever head of CBC Sports. Never one to rest on his laurels, Smith moved from Canada to the United States to produce a wide variety of entertainment programming with his mentor, television icon Dick Clark. Years later, he spearheaded an entirely new approach to sports television at FOX Sports Net, helping to grow the fledgling business into a true industry powerhouse. In 2000, Smith made the biggest reach of his career with the launch of A. Smith & Co. Productions, which has produced over two hundred television shows on more than fifty networks. Across genres, formats, and platforms, Smith and his A. Smith & Co. team have earned a reputation for original, emotional, buzz-worthy, and deeply personal storytelling.

In these pages, Smith takes us behind-the-scenes of dozens of pivotal moments in sports and television history, ranging from the high-intensity control room at the Olympics to the development of The Titan Games with Dwyane ("The Rock") Johnson. We learn about a show that never was with Donald Trump, as well as a super-far-fetched idea that became the bizarro-classic genre-buster I Survived a Japanese Game Show. Through winning anecdotes involving a disparate cast of famous characters, including Marlon Brando, Gordon Ramsay, Magic Johnson, Little Richard, Wayne Gretzky, Simon Cowell, and Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen, Smith illustrates just how far you can go when you work hard, take risks, and reach for your dreams.

ARTHUR SMITH BIO

Arthur Smith, the chairman of A. Smith & Co. Productions, is a pioneering veteran of nonfiction television, known for creating and producing some of the longest-running unscripted series in history, including Hell's Kitchen and American Ninja Warrior. Smith was honored as one of Variety's "Titans of Unscripted TV" in 2022, inducted into the Realscreen Awards Hall of Fame in 2021, awarded Broadcasting & Cable's "Producer of the Year" in 2020, nominated for several Emmy Awards, and received dozens of awards, including NAACP Awards, Realscreen Awards, and Critics Choice Awards. Smith embarked on his career in television as a twenty-two-year-old wunderkind, talking his way into sports production at CBC in his native Canada. He quickly distinguished himself as a rising star at the network, where he produced three Olympic Games among countless other high profile events. At the age of twenty-eight, Smith was named the youngest-ever head of CBC Sports.

His successful run at the network ended when American broadcasting icon Dick Clark lured him to Hollywood to develop and produce a wide variety of entertainment programming. Then as the head of programming and production at FOX Sports Net, Smith played an instrumental role in the launch and growth of this massive entity, before the biggest reach of his life-the creation of his eponymous production company that has since thrived for more than twenty years and counting. He lives in Los Angeles.

FilmRise, the New York-based film and television studio and streaming network, and Venture 10 Studio Group have partnered with Mars Wrigley to produce a new reality competition series, Follow Me, that shows fans what it takes to become massively famous in the social media age. Hosted and executive produced by Bethany Mota, and debuting on May 3, the series will exclusively debut this Spring on The FilmRise Streaming Network.

In FOLLOW ME, aspiring stars - each with a unique talent, background, and strategy for success - will compete in business-themed challenges across the series. The program will showcase the intense competition as they are tasked with building their follower bases.

Max Einhorn of FilmRise comments, "This is truly one of our most mainstream co-productions to date. Think 'Biggest Loser' meets 'Big Brother' meets 'The Circle'. The series' format combines two of the most popular mediums - social media and reality competition. It's a high-stakes rivalry that comes with a ton of drama and will have viewers on the edge of their seats to see who stays and who is eliminated."

FOLLOW ME consists of eight 60-minute episodes. The first season features eight contestants, including a model, personal trainer, gamer, dancer, among others, that compete to win the grand prize of $50,000. Throughout the series, contestants will be tasked with creating engaging content inspired by Mars Wrigley's iconic portfolio of brands, like M&M'S®, SKITTLES®, SNICKERS® and ORBIT®. Show participants work in the "creator's studio" and compete in various social media-based challenges. Contestants will also have access to top influencers including Charlotte McKinney, Alan Bersten (DWTS), Courtney Revolution (The Circle), Emily Mei, and Taya Miller, among others, who will serve as mentors.

At the end of each episode the contestant with the least number of followers is eliminated. The one contestant with the most followers at the end of the competition will be crowned the winner and receive the $50,000 prize from Mars Wrigley, the official sponsor of FOLLOW ME.

BETHANY MOTA BIO (FROM WIKIPEDIA)

Bethany Mota is an American video blogger. Starting with her YouTube channel, Macbarbie07, created in 2009, she rose to fame for her haul videos, in which she shows her fashion and style purchases via the internet. She uploads videos of outfit ideas, makeup and hair tutorials, recipes, and do it yourself ideas. She has since expanded into her own fashion line at Aéropostale. She has gone on multiple tours, which she calls her "Motavatours" to meet and interact with fans. She also appeared on Season 19 of Dancing with the Stars.

Bethany Mota was one of the most popular YouTube celebrities. Bethany Mota's first haul video was in June 2009. She began her YouTube channel in order to escape from the stress of bullying and rapidly gained followers, which numbered 9.5 million in October 2015. Business Insider described her as "relentlessly upbeat and bouncy" and "a virtuoso of positivity." In January 2014, Business Insider estimated that she made $40,000 a month on her videos. In order to cultivate her fan following, she purchases prizes and awards to give them to fans who promote her videos. Her fans are called "Mota-vators". Besides her fashion-related videos, she also maintains a more personal account, which she uses to discuss whatever interests her. In 2014, she was selected to be among the content creators in YouTube's first advertising campaign.

She also interviewed President Barack Obama on January 22, 2015 as part of a White House initiative to reach out to a broader audience following his 2015 State of the Union Address.

The Voice is one of America's most popular shows, airing Monday and Tuesday.

ABOUT THE VOICE

The four-time Emmy Award-winning musical competition series "The Voice" features the strongest vocalists from across the country invited to compete in the show's newest season.

Grammy Award-winning hip-hop star Chance the Rapper and platinum-selling singer-songwriter Niall Horan claim their red chairs alongside returning coaches Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton as they vie to discover and coach the next singing phenomenon. The competition is tougher than ever as Shelton goes for the win in his final season.

The show's innovative format features five stages of competition: Blind Auditions, Battle Rounds, Knockouts, Playoffs and Live Performance Shows.

During the Blind Auditions, the decisions from the coaches are based solely on voice and not looks. The coaches hear the artists perform but they don't get to see them, thanks to rotating chairs. If a coach is impressed by the artist's voice, they push a button to select the artist for their team. At this point, the coach's chair will swivel so that they can face the artist they selected. If more than one coach pushes the button, the power then shifts to the artist to choose which coach they want to work with. If no one pushes their button, the artist is eliminated from the competition. The artists' family and friends watch their Blind Auditions from side stage with host Carson Daly, cheering on their loved ones and hoping for a coveted chair turn.

Returning this season is the block, which adds another layer of coach competition during the Blind Auditions. The coach chairs each have an extra set of buttons with the other three coaches' names on them, which prevents a coach from adding a new artist to his or her team. The coaches can use their block buttons only on one artist for the entire first round of the competition. The blocked coach only discovers they are blocked if they press their button, and though their chair will still turn, their lane lights up with "BLOCKED." If the coach doesn't press their button, the block is still available for another audition.

Once the teams are set, the battle is on. The coaches dedicate themselves to developing their team of artists, giving them advice and sharing the secrets of their success. During the Battle Rounds, the coaches will pit two of their own team members against each other to sing the same song together. The artists are vying for their coach's confidence and decision to take them to the next round. After each vocal battle, the coach must choose which of his or her artists will advance to the next round of competition.

This season during Battles, the all-new Playoff Pass is at stake. The Playoff Pass will allow both artists in a battle to advance while the Playoff Pass winner gets a huge advantage by skipping the Knockout Rounds and advancing straight to Playoffs, taking them one step closer to Lives. Each coach will have one Playoff Pass to use as well as one steal in the Battles. With the steals in play, a losing artist is available for the other coaches to save and bring onto their own team. Artists who won their battle or were stolen by another coach will advance to the Knockouts, while the four artists with a Playoff Pass will advance straight to Playoffs.

In the Knockouts, the artists will be paired against another teammate, but this time they will perform individually while their direct competitors watch and wait. To prepare for this high-pressure competition, the coaches enlist legendary country music icon Reba McEntire as the Mega Mentor to advise all of the artists competing in the Knockouts. Having served as Battle advisor to Team Blake during the show's inaugural season, it's most fitting Reba returns as Blake coaches his final group of artists and bids farewell to the competition. The coaches will choose the winner of each Knockout, and the artist not selected will be available to be stolen by another coach. The pressure is on as each coach will only have one steal in the Knockouts.

The Playoffs are back, further bolstering the competition following the Knockouts. The 20 remaining artists hold nothing back and tough decisions are made when each coach can only advance two artists to the live semifinals. The stakes are even higher for the artists because there are no steals available.

Once the Live Performance Shows begin, the top artists will compete against each other during live broadcasts. This time, the television audience will vote to save their favorite artist. The live semifinals will be more dramatic than ever because the Top 8 artists will all perform live for a real-time vote, and results will be revealed at the end of that show. After the real-time votes are counted that night, the five artists with the most votes will be revealed and advance to the following week's finale. Those with the lowest number of votes will be sent home. In the end, one artist will be named "The Voice" and will receive the grand prize of a recording contract.

"The Voice" is a presentation of MGM Television, Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon, and ITV Studios The Voice USA, Inc. The series was created by John de Mol, who serves as an executive producer along with Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Amanda Zucker, Kyra Thompson and Adam H. Sher

On this special new season of Bridgerton: The Official Podcast, we're diving into each episode of Shondaland's glittering prequel, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, the new limited series on Netflix. Queen Charlotte :The Official Podcast is the official companion podcast launching May 18th. Host Gabrielle Collins is an expert on the Bridgerton universe.

GABRIELLE COLLINS BIO (FROM SHONDALAND.COM)

Gabrielle Collins is a podcast producer known for her work on iHeartMedia's food and travel podcasts such as Tom Colicchio's Citizen Chef and WBEZ podcasts, including the Amnesty International USA Media Award-winning 16 Shots. She grew up between Chicago and the Bahamas and both studied theater and politics and got her Master's in Journalism from New York University. That's where she discovered her love for audio.

"Television is my jam," she tells Shondaland. "Yes, and I love telling stories with sound."

When she was a fledgling producer, it coincided with the heyday of Scandal, which Collins says was an escape between long days of writing and reporting.

"I was working at ABC News and New York Public Radio at the same time," she says, "so I had to drum up some non-stop Olivia Pope energy. And sometimes Cyrus [laughs]. I can actually timestamp my journey as a producer with Shondaland moments: The Greys' plane crash episode aired days before I flew to London (to finish up my capstone at Oriel). Viola Davis as Annalise in HTGAWM took off that wig around the time I struggled with how to bring my whole self to work. I can keep going. But above all, these moments, and the teams that made them of course, renewed the power of drama and storytelling for me. And I'd bet there are a lot of people who feel that way about Rhimes and the writers and everybody involved so giving those people a podcast that goes inside a Shondaland production is the cherry on top of what I get to do."

Through his adolescence, Kell developed a strong passion for sports, with dreams of one day playing professional football in the NFL. That dream shifted due to unforeseen challenges during his freshman year of high school and he started to pursue music in a new way, with passion and hunger.

Kell began playing the keyboard at Calvary Outreach Revival Center, getting his roots in the rich culture of the Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ Organization. At the age of 15, Kell was invited to play for the University of Virginia Gospel Choir. As he grew skillfully as a musician, more opportunities became available, and doors began to open for him. In 2019, Kell Bailey released his debut EP "Take Your Place" which hit #9 on the Gospel iTunes Charts. In 2020, Kell released his album "Freedom Is Here" reaching #14 on the Gospel iTunes Charts as an independent artist. “Evidence” is Kell’s latest album, released on May 26th, 2023, featuring the single, “Faithful God.”

Kell reflects, that the greatest drive in his musical journey is his belief that God placed him here on earth to help and serve others, and music is the avenue used to fulfill that purpose in this season.

Forward by Cedric the Entertainer

Before he was one of Variety's "10 Comics to Watch" and a comedy sensation followed by millions, Kountry Wayne found few legit options for a poor Black man in a small-minded Georgia town. For many years he resorted to running his own game, but thankfully friends and family (and one patient probation officer) convinced him that he had talent beyond hustling. Once he began posting short sketches based on his on-the-nose Southern Black truths, wildly funny observations, and inspirational guidance, he became an almost overnight hit. Now a proud father of ten, Kountry Wayne is on a mission to give back. By sharing his seemingly impossible story, he hopes to help others see that no matter where you started from or how stuck you feel right now, the possibilities for living a rich, full life are limitless. Trust that the universe has got you! His Kountry Lessons include:

• Sometimes All You Have Is Your Pride: Often the only person who can push you forward is you.
• * Live Your Truth: Don't hide from where you came from, celebrate it-this is what makes you an original.
• * Don't Get Mad, Get Money: Ignore the people who want to tear you down and provide for the ones you love.
• * Stay Up: Even when the worst thing happens, you have to find the strength to keep going.

Whether you are simply looking for a laugh to boost your spirit or some real guidance to help you in life, love, or money, Kountry Wayne has got you covered.

ABOUT KOUNTRY WAYNE

Since his first Facebook post went viral in 2014, Kountry Wayne's career continues to climb, while garnering a loyal fan base. His widely popular digital sketches draw in millions of viewers daily across Facebook, TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channel, featuring original characters written by Wayne and cameos from notable celebrities including Ludacris, Mike Epps, Charlamagne tha God and Lamar Odom, to name a few.

Wayne's career highlights over the past few years include being named one of Variety's "10 Comics to Watch" in 2021, starring in the BET original Christmas rom-com "Holiday Heartbreak" (2021), featured on MTV's "Wild 'N Out" with Nick Cannon, and releasing his debut EP, "Drip & Zay," with GRAMMY® Award-winning producer, Zaytoven. Wayne, along with Kym Whitley, currently co-hosts "I Love Us," a comedy clip show on BET+ that premiered this past summer. Wayne recently starred in the comedy feature film, "Strange Love," available on Amazon Prime. Up next, he will be appearing in the upcoming Peacock original film "Praise This," produced by Will Packer, directed by Tina Gordon and starring Chloe Bailey, Quavo, Mack Wilds, Druski and more. Additionally, Wayne is set to film his first one-hour comedy special this coming May in Washington D.C for Netflix.

Wayne has established himself as one of the hottest touring comedians in the country, having built a strong fan base while performing in theaters, comedy clubs and arenas across the nation. Wayne's current tour "Help Is On The Way" is produced by Live Nation, and marks his return to the stage following his "Straight Out The Mud" spring 2022 tour, where the charismatic comic performed to sold-out crowds in theaters across the U.S., including the historic Palace Theatre in Los Angeles as part of the Netflix is a Joke Festival.

In contrast, Human Coalition is the only major pro-life group performing both advocacy and care for women. They provide a range of services for pregnant women -- connecting them to medical care, counseling, financial assistance, and public programs.

Jeff Bradford serves as President of Human Coalition, where he channels his experience as a seasoned business leader to initiate and cultivate relationships with major and principal donors.

As former owner and CEO of Cross Media, Jeff built that company from 4 to 80 employees, and grew sales from $400K to over $14 million. He brings a breadth of knowledge about leadership development and sales cycle management. Most recently, Jeff was a managing partner of CGO Partners, a consulting firm focused on corporate growth.

After learning about Human Coalition (HuCo) in 2010, Jeff was so moved by how the organization verifiably saves preborn children from abortion, he began volunteering. He eventually left the business world to work with Human Coalition full time in 2012. Since then, he’s helped grow HuCo into one of the nation’s largest pro-life organizations.

Jeff graduated from the University of Texas (Austin) and holds a BS in Finance. He and his wife Tricia have four children.

Born into a minister’s home, CJ Orndorff was raised in Tucson, Arizona. Music and ministry were just the way they lived. His parents pastored a local church, but also shared the Good News in other cities and nations. They purposefully demonstrated the passion for evangelism that he carries today.

He attended Christ For the Nations Institute in Dallas. Known for it's amazing worship, CFNI further deposited a deeper passion for worship and an insatiable hunger for the presence of God in him.

He was raised backing up his musical parents on the electric bass, trumpet and acoustic guitar. His mother, Kathleen, and his father, Cliff, were exceptional musicians and pastors. CJ started leading worship at 15 and served in pastoral and music ministry in Arizona, Iowa and in California until the mid '90s. In 1994, a dear friend asked him to bring his worship team to prison for the first time. That experience changed his life and the focus of his future. Evangelism had always been at the core of his vision and dreams. Those dreams suddenly became a reality in his personal ministry.

By God’s grace, he’s completed nearly 1850 concerts in prisons since 1994.

CJ has been happily married to his wonderful wife, Laury, since 1988. Their daughter, Lynelle, is married, has 2 boys, and has served on staff with YWAM Denver. Their son, CJ IV, is a musician and photographer, working alongside his father in 2nd CHANCE. Their daughter, Candace, is married with two sons and lives in Southern California.

The way she feels about music can be summed up in this quote; “Music is my inhaler when life makes it difficult to breathe.”

Human Coalition Files Amicus Brief at Supreme Court in Opposition to FDA’s Approval of Abortion Pill Brief tells stories of clients who suffered trauma from abortion pills
DALLAS, TEXAS, April 18, 2023 - Human Coalition on Tuesday filed a friend-of-the-court brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in opposition to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of the deadly abortion pill regimen. In the case of Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Human Coalition supports national medical organizations and doctors in their legal challenge to the FDA’s expedited and illegal approval of the drug mifepristone for chemical abortions.

Human Coalition’s brief details the trauma and confusion of clients who felt misled and uninformed about mifepristone and its side effects. U.S. district court Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk relied heavily on Human Coalition’s brief in his April 7 ruling that suspended the FDA’s approval of the abortion pill regimen.

Chelsey Youman, National Director of Public Policy for Human Coalition, on Tuesday stated:

“We are resolved to speak for the millions of victims of abortion pills who cannot speak for themselves, before the highest court in the land. More than five million precious children have been killed by mifepristone since it was recklessly and illegally approved 23 years ago. This genocide must stop now.

“We are here to speak for women who were medically damaged from taking the abortion drugs, regret taking them, who were pressured into taking abortion pills, and who were misled or misinformed about the trauma they experienced. So many of these women have been gaslit by the abortion industry which promotes these deadly drugs as women’s empowerment.

“The vast majority – 76% – of our clients considering abortion would prefer to parent if their circumstances were different. We will continue to walk alongside every vulnerable woman who feels abortion is her only option, and accompany her to a place of stability where she discovers she can become the parent she always wanted to be.”

Human Coalition’s brief details the significant physical harm that chemical abortion has caused and will continue to cause women; the ways they are deceived about the drug’s risks; the risks of abusers using mifepristone as a covert tool for coerced abortions; and the psychological harm that abortion causes women.

The brief notes that the FDA recorded 28 deaths caused by mifepristone since its approval. Deaths can be caused by complications arising from the pill, such as hemorrhaging or sepsis from fetal tissue left inside the mother or a ruptured ectopic (tubal) pregnancy.

To shed light on the FDA’s utter failure to maintain basic safety protocols for women, the brief highlights its incomplete reporting requirements and data. Even though the FDA does not require adverse events be reported, its numbers indicate women underwent 1,048 hospitalizations, 604 blood transfusions, and 414 infections (including 71 severe infections) following use of the pill, with a total of 4,213 adverse events as of June 2022. A study from Finland found that adverse events in women who had a chemical abortion were nearly four times higher (20% vs. 5.6%) than in women who had a surgical abortion.

The brief shows that beyond the physical harm, women experience severe psychological damage from the abortion pill regimen. Research by AAPLOG revealed that “women face an 81% increase in the risk of mental health disorders after receiving an abortion. These women also face a 34% increased risk of anxiety, 37% increased risk of depression, and 155% increased risk of suicidal behavior.”

In the FDA’s damaging effort to make abortion more accessible, it eliminated the abortion pill’s in-person dispensing requirement. This means women and girls will not be examined for significant contraindications and can complete their abortions without any physician oversight, compounding its health risks to women. Decades of medication abortion marred women into living victims of abortion.

About Human Coalition
Human Coalition is one of the largest pro-life, pro-woman, and pro-family organizations in the country, committed to making abortion unthinkable and unnecessary. Founded in 2009, Human Coalition has grown from a simple internet outreach idea into a comprehensive care network that reaches women facing unexpected pregnancies, rescues innocent preborn children from abortion, and restores families to stability.

As if that weren’t enough, she’s also won awards for Americana CD of the Year, earned first-round nomination for the 2016 and 2018 Grammy Awards, was a 2019 multi- nominee for Kingdom Image Awards, and has even won the 2019 ISSA award for single of the year.

Tia’s 2018 album release of “Stubborn In My Blood” and the first single “Let ‘Em See You’re Strong” received rave reviews. It would lead to placement on numerous “Best of 2018” lists. It was so powerful that it was even adopted by woman’s empowerment groups, being embraced by communities all around the world.

With nine international CD releases and multiple film and TV placements over the years, her recorded catalog is certainly a proud accomplishment, but where Tia truly shines is in her live performances. Her love for performing has taken her all over North America and the United Kingdom, be it in huge concerts or personal, intimate venues.

Tia is also an accomplished children’s author, notably with her book, “Jake The Road Dawg.” Based on the life and adventures of her beloved pet, the book has inspired classrooms around the world, while supporting Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and Tia’s local Humane Society. The success of the book has led Tia to venture into the podcast realm with her popular show, “Jake’s Place Songs ‘n’ Tails.” Here, she discusses music, up and coming artists and her own personal opinions on every day topics. It’s a great change of pace, and a fantastic way to connect with the artist on a more personal level.

Currently, Tia is preparing to release her latest single, “Go Your Own Way,” (June 24th, MTS Records) the first cut off of her upcoming EP, “With Love.” The single and EP will both be released on major streaming platforms.

"Hey Teammate, we all face obstacles-physical, emotional, between the ears. The good news is that everything we have fought back against can empower us, IF WE KNOW HOW TO USE IT. My obstacles happen to be anxiety and depression. I call it living in the gray, and I've been mired in it my whole life. To be honest, it sucks. But I have also recently recognized that this same gray that has held me down has also empowered me to make my wildest dreams come true. You have probably overcome many of your own obstacles, but you've been too close to the conflict to clearly see what you've accomplished. We are all UNBREAKABLE, no matter what we do, who we are, or what traumas we may have experienced. We just need to admit that we can't walk this walk alone." --Jay Glazer

After years of rejection but with constant hustle, Jay Glazer has built a career has one of the most iconic sports insiders, earning himself a spot on the Emmy award-winning Fox NFL Sunday, a role as the confidant of coaches and players across the league, and a role as himself alongside Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson on HBO series Ballers. His gym, Unbreakable Performance Center, attracts some of the biggest names in Hollywood, and is the headquarters to the powerful charity MVP (Merging Vets and Players) that Jay founded in 2015. MVP began as a weekly physical and mental health huddle with combat veterans and retired athletes has expanded to seven locations, helping soldiers and players transition to a new team.

In Unbreakable, Jay Glazer talks directly to you, his teammates, and shares his truth. All of his success from his screeching-and-swerving joy ride through professional football, the media, the fighting world, Hollywood, the military-warrior community, comes with a side of relentless depression and anxiety. Living in the gray, as Jay calls it, is just a constant for him. And, in order to work through the gray and succeed, Jay has to maintain an Unbreakable Mindset. With this book, you can:

· Be of Service-help others and help yourself in the process
· Build Your Team-give support, get support
· Never Underestimate the Power of Laughter-never take yourself too seriously· Be Proud of Your Scars-our trauma makes us who we are

Throughout Unbreakable, Jay will use his stories-featuring some of the biggest, baddest, and most fascinating characters in the public eye today-to show how he walks this walk, has learned that while the gray is very real, it doesn't have to define him. And it doesn't have to define you either.

Jay takes readers on a behind-the-scenes journey, sharing never-before-heard stories about his own mental health that feature some of the most fascinating characters in the public eye today. The book offers honest, outspoken advice and insights gleaned from Jay's own fight against the dark forces of depression and anxiety, his decades-long journey to the top of sports-journalism and his traumatic survival of a near-death experience. From an unlikely friendship with Michael Strahan that opened the door to his big break inside the NFL sports reporting, to helping veterans fight for their lives in the gym and even playing himself on the hit HBO show Ballers, Jay has seen it all. His experiences acting as coach to musicians like Wiz Khalifa and Demi Lovato to award-winning athletes and some of the most powerful people in business have given him the ability to laugh at himself while keeping up the fight against his own mental health struggles.

The Watchman delivers inside, on-the-ground stories about what's really happening in Israel and the Middle East, and how it affects every American. https://watch.tbn.org/c/sns/mIiy6TFu

https://watch.tbn.org/

Erick Stakelbeck is Director of Christians United for Israel’s CUFI Watchman Project and host of “The Watchman” program on TBN. He has spent nearly two decades years covering the Middle East and national security issues in-depth: traveling to the region, interviewing world leaders and wanted terrorists, and highlighting the shared threats to America and Israel. A 2013 Jerusalem Post profile stated that, “Within Evangelical Christian circles, Stakelbeck is considered by many to be the leading authority” on the issues of national security and the Middle East. In February 2016, Stakelbeck launched “The Watchman” show on TBN, joining the world’s largest Christian television network with America’s largest pro-Israel organization, CUFI, to produce a hard-hitting weekly, 30-minute newsmagazine focusing on Israel, America and the Middle East. The program airs every Thursday night at 11:30 pm EST on TBN and is seen worldwide. From 2005 to 2015, Stakelbeck was a correspondent, host and terrorism analyst for CBN News, covering the global war on terror, U.S. national security, the Middle East and the growth of radical Islam at home and abroad for the network’s Washington, D.C. bureau. Stakelbeck’s first book, “The Terrorist Next Door: How the Government is Deceiving You About the Islamist Threat,” was released in 2011 by Regnery Publishing to major acclaim. His second book was released by Regnery in July 2013. The “Brotherhood: America’s Next Great Enemy” warns about the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood and the global Islamist movement. His third book with Regnery, “ISIS Exposed: Beheadings, Slavery and the Hellish Reality of Radical Islam,” was released on March 9, 2015. Stakelbeck is a regular commentator on leading national television and radio programs and a frequent guest on Fox News. His appearances include: The O’Reilly Factor, Hannity, Your World with Neil Cavuto, Fox and Friends, Justice with Judge Jeanine, Huckabee, America’s Newsroom, CNN Newsroom, BBC, Al Hurra and many others. Stakelbeck has also contributed to Glenn Beck’s The Blaze TV, guest hosting the Glenn Beck Program and providing in-studio analysis and investigative reports. From 2003 to 2005, Stakelbeck worked as a senior writer and analyst at the Investigative Project on Terrorism, a counterterrorism think tank founded by terrorism expert Steven Emerson. His articles on Islamic extremism, global terrorism and national security appeared in the Wall Street Journal Europe, Weekly Standard, Washington Times, New York Post, Jerusalem Post, and National Review Online, among other publications. Stakelbeck regularly speaks to audiences around the country on terrorism and Middle East-related issues, including at events for Christians United for Israel (CUFI), the annual National Religious Broadcasters Convention (NRB), ACT for America, the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the Israel Allies Foundation (IAF), the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA), the Values Voter Summit and the Faith and Freedom Coalition, among others. Stakelbeck is a graduate of Holy Family University in Philadelphia.

ABOUT THE VOICE

The four-time Emmy Award-winning musical competition series "The Voice" returns with the strongest vocalists from across the country invited to compete in the show's newest season, which premieres March 6. Grammy Award-winning hip-hop star Chance the Rapper and platinum-selling singer-songwriter Niall Horan claim their red chairs alongside returning coaches Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton as they vie to discover and coach the next singing phenomenon. The competition is tougher than ever as Shelton goes for the win in his final season. The show's innovative format features five stages of competition: Blind Auditions, Battle Rounds, Knockouts, Playoffs and Live Performance Shows. During the Blind Auditions, the decisions from the coaches are based solely on voice and not looks. The coaches hear the artists perform but they don't get to see them, thanks to rotating chairs. If a coach is impressed by the artist's voice, they push a button to select the artist for their team. At this point, the coach's chair will swivel so that they can face the artist they selected. If more than one coach pushes the button, the power then shifts to the artist to choose which coach they want to work with. If no one pushes their button, the artist is eliminated from the competition. The artists' family and friends watch their Blind Auditions from side stage with host Carson Daly, cheering on their loved ones and hoping for a coveted chair turn. Returning this season is the block, which adds another layer of coach competition during the Blind Auditions. The coach chairs each have an extra set of buttons with the other three coaches' names on them, which prevents a coach from adding a new artist to his or her team. The coaches can use their block buttons only on one artist for the entire first round of the competition. The blocked coach only discovers they are blocked if they press their button, and though their chair will still turn, their lane lights up with "BLOCKED." If the coach doesn't press their button, the block is still available for another audition. Once the teams are set, the battle is on. The coaches dedicate themselves to developing their team of artists, giving them advice and sharing the secrets of their success. During the Battle Rounds, the coaches will pit two of their own team members against each other to sing the same song together. The artists are vying for their coach's confidence and decision to take them to the next round. After each vocal battle, the coach must choose which of his or her artists will advance to the next round of competition. This season during Battles, the all-new Playoff Pass is at stake. The Playoff Pass will allow both artists in a battle to advance while the Playoff Pass winner gets a huge advantage by skipping the Knockout Rounds and advancing straight to Playoffs, taking them one step closer to Lives. Each coach will have one Playoff Pass to use as well as one steal in the Battles. With the steals in play, a losing artist is available for the other coaches to save and bring onto their own team. Artists who won their battle or were stolen by another coach will advance to the Knockouts, while the four artists with a Playoff Pass will advance straight to Playoffs. In the Knockouts, the artists will be paired against another teammate, but this time they will perform individually while their direct competitors watch and wait. To prepare for this high-pressure competition, the coaches enlist legendary country music icon Reba McEntire as the Mega Mentor to advise all of the artists competing in the Knockouts. Having served as Battle advisor to Team Blake during the show's inaugural season, it's most fitting Reba returns as Blake coaches his final group of artists and bids farewell to the competition. The coaches will choose the winner of each Knockout, and the artist not selected will be available to be stolen by another coach. The pressure is on as each coach will only have one steal in the Knockouts. The Playoffs are back, further bolstering the competition following the Knockouts. The 20 remaining artists hold nothing back and tough decisions are made when each coach can only advance two artists to the live semifinals. The stakes are even higher for the artists because there are no steals available. Once the Live Performance Shows begin, the top artists will compete against each other during live broadcasts. This time, the television audience will vote to save their favorite artist. The live semifinals will be more dramatic than ever because the Top 8 artists will all perform live for a real-time vote, and results will be revealed at the end of that show. After the real-time votes are counted that night, the five artists with the most votes will be revealed and advance to the following week's finale. Those with the lowest number of votes will be sent home. In the end, one artist will be named "The Voice" and will receive the grand prize of a recording contract. "The Voice" is a presentation of MGM Television, Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon, and ITV Studios The Voice USA, Inc. The series was created by John de Mol, who serves as an executive producer along with Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Amanda Zucker, Kyra Thompson and Adam H. Sher

ABOUT THE VOICE

The four-time Emmy Award-winning musical competition series "The Voice" returns with the strongest vocalists from across the country invited to compete in the show's newest season, which premieres March 6. Grammy Award-winning hip-hop star Chance the Rapper and platinum-selling singer-songwriter Niall Horan claim their red chairs alongside returning coaches Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton as they vie to discover and coach the next singing phenomenon. The competition is tougher than ever as Shelton goes for the win in his final season. The show's innovative format features five stages of competition: Blind Auditions, Battle Rounds, Knockouts, Playoffs and Live Performance Shows. During the Blind Auditions, the decisions from the coaches are based solely on voice and not looks. The coaches hear the artists perform but they don't get to see them, thanks to rotating chairs. If a coach is impressed by the artist's voice, they push a button to select the artist for their team. At this point, the coach's chair will swivel so that they can face the artist they selected. If more than one coach pushes the button, the power then shifts to the artist to choose which coach they want to work with.

Jerome got his first taste of music at a young age when his church’s music director pushed him to direct a show at a nursing home. From there, he followed in his parent’s musical footsteps and started singing in church. Jerome’s parents are both teachers, so they made sure Jerome focused on his academics. Now a sophomore in college, Jerome is a pre-dentistry major and has big dreams of becoming the “singing dentist.” Pursuing dentistry leaves little time for Jerome to focus on music, but he does manage to make time for leading worship at a church. “The Voice” is his opportunity to see if he has what it takes to make a career out of music and follow his dream.

ABOUT THE VOICE The four-time Emmy Award-winning musical competition series "The Voice" returns with the strongest vocalists from across the country invited to compete in the show's newest season, which premieres March 6. Grammy Award-winning hip-hop star Chance the Rapper and platinum-selling singer-songwriter Niall Horan claim their red chairs alongside returning coaches Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton as they vie to discover and coach the next singing phenomenon. The competition is tougher than ever as Shelton goes for the win in his final season. The show's innovative format features five stages of competition: Blind Auditions, Battle Rounds, Knockouts, Playoffs and Live Performance Shows. During the Blind Auditions, the decisions from the coaches are based solely on voice and not looks. The coaches hear the artists perform but they don't get to see them, thanks to rotating chairs. If a coach is impressed by the artist's voice, they push a button to select the artist for their team. At this point, the coach's chair will swivel so that they can face the artist they selected. If more than one coach pushes the button, the power then shifts to the artist to choose which coach they want to work with. If no one pushes their button, the artist is eliminated from the competition. The artists' family and friends watch their Blind Auditions from side stage with host Carson Daly, cheering on their loved ones and hoping for a coveted chair turn. Returning this season is the block, which adds another layer of coach competition during the Blind Auditions. The coach chairs each have an extra set of buttons with the other three coaches' names on them, which prevents a coach from adding a new artist to his or her team. The coaches can use their block buttons only on one artist for the entire first round of the competition.

The artists are vying for their coach's confidence and decision to take them to the next round. After each vocal battle, the coach must choose which of his or her artists will advance to the next round of competition. This season during Battles, the all-new Playoff Pass is at stake. The Playoff Pass will allow both artists in a battle to advance while the Playoff Pass winner gets a huge advantage by skipping the Knockout Rounds and advancing straight to Playoffs, taking them one step closer to Lives. Each coach will have one Playoff Pass to use as well as one steal in the Battles. With the steals in play, a losing artist is available for the other coaches to save and bring onto their own team. Artists who won their battle or were stolen by another coach will advance to the Knockouts, while the four artists with a Playoff Pass will advance straight to Playoffs. In the Knockouts, the artists will be paired against another teammate, but this time they will perform individually while their direct competitors watch and wait. To prepare for this high-pressure competition, the coaches enlist legendary country music icon Reba McEntire as the Mega Mentor to advise all of the artists competing in the Knockouts. Having served as Battle advisor to Team Blake during the show's inaugural season, it's most fitting Reba returns as Blake coaches his final group of artists and bids farewell to the competition. The coaches will choose the winner of each Knockout, and the artist not selected will be available to be stolen by another coach. The pressure is on as each coach will only have one steal in the Knockouts. The Playoffs are back, further bolstering the competition following the Knockouts. The 20 remaining artists hold nothing back and tough decisions are made when each coach can only advance two artists to the live semifinals. The stakes are even higher for the artists because there are no steals available. Once the Live Performance Shows begin, the top artists will compete against each other during live broadcasts. This time, the television audience will vote to save their favorite artist. The live semifinals will be more dramatic than ever because the Top 8 artists will all perform live for a real-time vote, and results will be revealed at the end of that show. After the real-time votes are counted that night, the five artists with the most votes will be revealed and advance to the following week's finale. Those with the lowest number of votes will be sent home. In the end, one artist will be named "The Voice" and will receive the grand prize of a recording contract. "The Voice" is a presentation of MGM Television, Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon, and ITV Studios The Voice USA, Inc. The series was created by John de Mol, who serves as an executive producer along with Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Amanda Zucker, Kyra Thompson and Adam H. Sher

ABOUT THE VOICE The four-time Emmy Award-winning musical competition series "The Voice" returns with the strongest vocalists from across the country invited to compete in the show's newest season, which premieres March 6. Grammy Award-winning hip-hop star Chance the Rapper and platinum-selling singer-songwriter Niall Horan claim their red chairs alongside returning coaches Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton as they vie to discover and coach the next singing phenomenon. The competition is tougher than ever as Shelton goes for the win in his final season. The show's innovative format features five stages of competition: Blind Auditions, Battle Rounds, Knockouts, Playoffs and Live Performance Shows. During the Blind Auditions, the decisions from the coaches are based solely on voice and not looks. The coaches hear the artists perform but they don't get to see them, thanks to rotating chairs. If a coach is impressed by the artist's voice, they push a button to select the artist for their team. At this point, the coach's chair will swivel so that they can face the artist they selected. If more than one coach pushes the button, the power then shifts to the artist to choose which coach they want to work with. If no one pushes their button, the artist is eliminated from the competition. The artists' family and friends watch their Blind Auditions from side stage with host Carson Daly, cheering on their loved ones and hoping for a coveted chair turn. Returning this season is the block, which adds another layer of coach competition during the Blind Auditions. The coach chairs each have an extra set of buttons with the other three coaches' names on them, which prevents a coach from adding a new artist to his or her team. The coaches can use their block buttons only on one artist for the entire first round of the competition. The blocked coach only discovers they are blocked if they press their button, and though their chair will still turn, their lane lights up with "BLOCKED." If the coach doesn't press their button, the block is still available for another audition. Once the teams are set, the battle is on. The coaches dedicate themselves to developing their team of artists, giving them advice and sharing the secrets of their success. During the Battle Rounds, the coaches will pit two of their own team members against each other to sing the same song together. The artists are vying for their coach's confidence and decision to take them to the next round. After each vocal battle, the coach must choose which of his or her artists will advance to the next round of competition. This season during Battles, the all-new Playoff Pass is at stake. The Playoff Pass will allow both artists in a battle to advance while the Playoff Pass winner gets a huge advantage by skipping the Knockout Rounds and advancing straight to Playoffs, taking them one step closer to Lives. Each coach will have one Playoff Pass to use as well as one steal in the Battles. With the steals in play, a losing artist is available for the other coaches to save and bring onto their own team. Artists who won their battle or were stolen by another coach will advance to the Knockouts, while the four artists with a Playoff Pass will advance straight to Playoffs. In the Knockouts, the artists will be paired against another teammate, but this time they will perform individually while their direct competitors watch and wait. To prepare for this high-pressure competition, the coaches enlist legendary country music icon Reba McEntire as the Mega Mentor to advise all of the artists competing in the Knockouts. Having served as Battle advisor to Team Blake during the show's inaugural season, it's most fitting Reba returns as Blake coaches his final group of artists and bids farewell to the competition. The coaches will choose the winner of each Knockout, and the artist not selected will be available to be stolen by another coach.

D.Smooth was about to take the stage at the Season 21 Blind Auditions when the teams filled up. Looking back, he’s grateful he didn’t get a chance to perform at a time when he wasn’t giving 100% to music. D.Smooth grew up in the rural countryside and his entire extended family all lived on the same street. He feels blessed that his family was close by to keep him grounded. In high school, D.Smooth was a singer in the jazz band, but even though he loved music, his main focus was sports. Now that he’s back at “The Voice,” he’s ready to give music his all.

ABOUT ELIZABETH VARGAS REPORTS

Thank you for your time. ]]>437community,media,news,newsnationfalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/neil-king-jr-american-ramble-a-walk-of-memory-and-renewal--53452655In this episode, we explore Neil King Jr.'s stunning memoir, American Ramble, which recounts his 26-day journey from Washington, D.C., to New York City, and the insights he gained about America's shared ground and personal renewal along the way.

Neil King Jr. is a former national security reporter and editor for the Wall Street Journal He was deeply involved in the coverage of 9/11 that won the JournalNew York Times, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal and many others. American Ramble is his first book. He lives in New York City and Washington, D.C.

ABOUT AMERICAN RAMBLE

A stunning, revelatory memoir about a 330-mile walk from Washington, D.C., to New York City-an unforgettable pilgrimage to the heart of America across some of our oldest common ground.

Neil King Jr.'s desire to walk from Washington, D.C., to New York City began as a whim and soon became an obsession. By the spring of 2021, events had intervened that gave his desire greater urgency. His neighborhood still reeled from the January 6th insurrection. Covid lockdowns and a rancorous election had deepened America's divides. Neil himself bore the imprints of a long battle with cancer. Determined to rediscover what matters in life and to see our national story with new eyes, Neil turned north with a small satchel on his back and one mission in mind: To pay close attention to the land he crossed and the people he met.

What followed is an extraordinary 26-day journey through historic battlefields and cemeteries, over the Mason-Dixon line, past Quaker and Amish farms, along Valley Forge stream beds, atop a New Jersey trash mound, across New York Harbor, and finally, to his ultimate destination: the Ramble, where a tangle of pathways converges in Central Park. The journey travels deep into America's past and present, uncovering forgotten pockets and overlooked people. At a time of mounting disunity, the trip reveals the profound power of our shared ground.

By turns amusing, inspiring, and sublime, American Ramble offers an exquisite account of personal and national renewal-an indelible study of our country as we've never seen it before. King says of his memoir, "I couldn't be prouder of American Ramble as a book that revives a faded tradition In American travel writing that weaves travelogue with memoir and history and, yes, even some philosophy. It is a quiet, very personal book, but at the same time wide open and welcoming to any reader. It says: 'Come on a long walk with me. Let's talk.'"

TASHA JESSON, 21

Team Blake Hometown: Faisalabad, Pakistan Resident: Colorado Springs, CO Tasha started singing at 3 when her parents, who were both recording artists at their church in Pakistan, handed her a microphone. But then, at 12, Tasha and her family left Pakistan and immigrated to Thailand to escape religious persecution. It was a huge culture shock and forced music into the backseat until they found a church community where Tasha became involved in the worship team. In 2016, Tasha met her now-husband, Maverek, who had been a missionary for nine years. Last year, Tasha moved to Colorado Springs, where she lives with her husband and his parents. She and Maverek sing in church and at home, but she rarely gigs, which is why "The Voice" is such a milestone.

ABOUT THE VOICE The four-time Emmy Award-winning musical competition series "The Voice" returns with the strongest vocalists from across the country invited to compete in the show's newest season, which premieres March 6. Grammy Award-winning hip-hop star Chance the Rapper and platinum-selling singer-songwriter Niall Horan claim their red chairs alongside returning coaches Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton as they vie to discover and coach the next singing phenomenon. The competition is tougher than ever as Shelton goes for the win in his final season. The show's innovative format features five stages of competition: Blind Auditions, Battle Rounds, Knockouts, Playoffs and Live Performance Shows. During the Blind Auditions, the decisions from the coaches are based solely on voice and not looks. The coaches hear the artists perform but they don't get to see them, thanks to rotating chairs. If a coach is impressed by the artist's voice, they push a button to select the artist for their team. At this point, the coach's chair will swivel so that they can face the artist they selected. If more than one coach pushes the button, the power then shifts to the artist to choose which coach they want to work with. If no one pushes their button, the artist is eliminated from the competition. The artists' family and friends watch their Blind Auditions from side stage with host Carson Daly, cheering on their loved ones and hoping for a coveted chair turn. Returning this season is the block, which adds another layer of coach competition during the Blind Auditions. The coach chairs each have an extra set of buttons with the other three coaches' names on them, which prevents a coach from adding a new artist to his or her team. The coaches can use their block buttons only on one artist for the entire first round of the competition. The blocked coach only discovers they are blocked if they press their button, and though their chair will still turn, their lane lights up with "BLOCKED." If the coach doesn't press their button, the block is still available for another audition. Once the teams are set, the battle is on. The coaches dedicate themselves to developing their team of artists, giving them advice and sharing the secrets of their success. During the Battle Rounds, the coaches will pit two of their own team members against each other to sing the same song together. The artists are vying for their coach's confidence and decision to take them to the next round. After each vocal battle, the coach must choose which of his or her artists will advance to the next round of competition. This season during Battles, the all-new Playoff Pass is at stake. The Playoff Pass will allow both artists in a battle to advance while the Playoff Pass winner gets a huge advantage by skipping the Knockout Rounds and advancing straight to Playoffs, taking them one step closer to Lives. Each coach will have one Playoff Pass to use as well as one steal in the Battles. With the steals in play, a losing artist is available for the other coaches to save and bring onto their own team. Artists who won their battle or were stolen by another coach will advance to the Knockouts, while the four artists with a Playoff Pass will advance straight to Playoffs. In the Knockouts, the artists will be paired against another teammate, but this time they will perform individually while their direct competitors watch and wait. To prepare for this high-pressure competition, the coaches enlist legendary country music icon Reba McEntire as the Mega Mentor to advise all of the artists competing in the Knockouts. Having served as Battle advisor to Team Blake during the show's inaugural season, it's most fitting Reba returns as Blake coaches his final group of artists and bids farewell to the competition. The coaches will choose the winner of each Knockout, and the artist not selected will be available to be stolen by another coach. The pressure is on as each coach will only have one steal in the Knockouts. The Playoffs are back, further bolstering the competition following the Knockouts. The 20 remaining artists hold nothing back and tough decisions are made when each coach can only advance two artists to the live semifinals. The stakes are even higher for the artists because there are no steals available. Once the Live Performance Shows begin, the top artists will compete against each other during live broadcasts. This time, the television audience will vote to save their favorite artist. The live semifinals will be more dramatic than ever because the Top 8 artists will all perform live for a real-time vote, and results will be revealed at the end of that show. After the real-time votes are counted that night, the five artists with the most votes will be revealed and advance to the following week's finale. Those with the lowest number of votes will be sent home. In the end, one artist will be named "The Voice" and will receive the grand prize of a recording contract. "The Voice" is a presentation of MGM Television, Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon, and ITV Studios The Voice USA, Inc. The series was created by John de Mol, who serves as an executive producer along with Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Amanda Zucker, Kyra Thompson and Adam H. Sher

KALA BANHAM, 24

As a first-generation American, Kala wouldn't be where she is today without her Australian roots and Filipino culture. At big family gatherings, Kala's Lola would ask her to sing for everyone, rewarding her granddaughter with $5 following each performance. That upbringing eventually led Kala to pursue music wherever she could - singing in her high school jazz band, leading worship in church and joining a competitive collegiate a cappella group. Since graduating from university, Kala has been working as a public relations account executive and supports media relations for tech companies in the music industry. The busy nature of her career has put performing on the back burner, but now Kala is looking for the opportunity to break into the music industry.

HK is an admirer of David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Prince, Radiohead, Scandinavian pop music by Bjork, Motorpsycho and a lot more. Sometimes their music reflects in Harry's eclectic music.

HK plays, writes and produces his music by himself in his home studio.

Last year Harry released his album 'Escape' and a seperate single 'Wargames'. Both were received very well and got rave and enthusiastic reviews all over the world. HK is known for his contemplative, sometimes politically critical lyrics. 'Wargames' was received as a modern protestsong against the Ukrain war.

As a music therapist HK helps youngsters and adolescents to cope with a variety of problems in a institution for youth care; problems caused bij development disorders or/ and behaviour disorders. The fact that he is a multi-instrumentalist comes very handy in his work as music therapist; it's important to be able to connect musically with a client quite quickly on every instrument. Also he helps families who are struggeling with disfunctional paterns. Music therapy is a great way to make these paterns audible and curable.

Besides his work as music therapist he works as a lecturer on an international master's degree in music therapy in Rotterdam in the Netherlands (Codarts).

'The Freedom Inside'

Now he is releasing a new single as a preview of his new album which will be released later this year, around the summer. 'The Freedom Inside' is also critical, but has a more positive vibe. 'Don't try to change the world, but change yourself first' is the message. We all know we live in troubling times with war, climate change, indifference etc. There's a lot of complaining everywhere (social media!) and declining trust in governments. Harry says; if you want to change the world, stop nagging and whining at others and start to change yourself first and search for the freedom inside you to do so !

After being a primary caregiver for her mother for over six years, author Lynn Abate-Johnson understands the typhoon of emotions and responsibilities that come with caring for a loved one. However, she discovered how to blossom through (and after) caregiving rather than let it drown her. By using her natural organizational skills and her solid work ethic, she developed systems and processes to help navigate the difficult journey of caregiving, which allowed her to go from “What am I going to do without my mom?” to “I know I can thrive after she’s gone–just as she would want.” Like most caregivers, Lynn juggled caregiving duties with a full-time career. In her daily life, she’s a business consultant and global community builder. She’s been building businesses from the ground up since she was nine years old.

One of her recent accomplishments was growing the global online community for one of the world’s most respected leadership development and professional coach training organizations by 150% in her first four years as a professional community builder. Lynn educates cohorts of caregivers and executives inside conscious brands to help them discover that there are tools they can use to support people in bringing their whole selves to work. Her book, Out of Love: A Daughter's Journey With Her Mom To The End, provides care for family caregivers by giving them the emotional and logistical support they need, even when they are working in paying careers. About the Book: Lynn’s words offer a uniquely personal glimpse into her journey as a daughter of a strong mother, along with her own transformation in the aftermath of being a caregiver.

Lynn’s approach removes the stigma of grief, Her expressive and often vulnerable ways of sharing help to normalize what many families may take for granted or miss in their often overwhelming and new experience as caregivers. There will be discomfort, shame, guilt, and layers of conditioning to discover in this book, with the goal of bringing light to the dark and peace to the soul. These words are also interactive, meaning you will find practical, logistical tools and resources on the accompanying website: LynnAbateJohnsonBook.com.

The Keanu Reeves-led action franchise is the brightest bright spot on Lionsgate's theatrical slate and their most obvious hope for a 2023 breakout. To those in the know, the likes of Chinese action-god Donnie Yen (also seen by Americans in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," "Shanghai Knights" and "xXx: The Return of Xander Cage") and direct-to-DVD and VOD action king Scott Adkins (also seen by American theatergoers in "Doctor Strange" and "Expendables 2") qualify as added value elements. The film will give these folks a higher-profile platform, at least in terms of mainstream Hollywood audiences, to show off their star power. Clancy Brown showing up and subtly riffing on his "Highlander" appearance is for fans old enough to have kids who can buy an R-rated movie ticket sans parent or guardian. Directed by Chad Stahelski, "John Wick: Chapter 4" sees the beleaguered not-so-retired hitman accepting an offer from the High Council to settle his life debt. The last three "Wick" flicks pulled near-unprecedented commercial growth, going from $88 million worldwide in 2014, to $171 million in 2017, to $322 million in 2019. In pre-COVID times, the big questions were whether a fourth chapter could continue that momentum and whether the franchise would expand its overseas muscle. "John Wick: Chapter 4" opens theatrically on March 24th Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjRHZEUamCc

ARTICLE FROM POLYGON.COM John Wick Chapter 4 puts one of our greatest action heroes in a giant prosthetic suit The John Wick movies are a stuntman's franchise. Directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch are legendary stunt performers and coordinators, and one of the joys of their movies getting bigger with each installment is seeing Stahelski (who now directs the films solo) fold in more and more action pros from around the world, like Mark Dacascos of Wu Assassins fame or The Raid's Yayan Ruhian. John Wick: Chapter 4 continues this tradition, notably with Hong Kong star Donnie Yen and the king of direct-to-video action himself, Scott Adkins - but like we've never seen him before. Scott Adkins is normally seen doing insanely athletic kicks. He has the sort of physique you might expect from someone who must convincingly portray action heroes who can knock someone's lights out with his shins. Here, on the other hand, is how he will appear as "Killa" in John Wick: Chapter 4:

Adkins is playing against type here in a way that feels a lot like Colin Farrell's Penguin in The Batman - and previous Adkins movies like Accident Man: Hitman's Holiday show off the action star's willingness to have fun while kicking ass. Regardless of how much pain Adkins dishes out (or doesn't!) as Killa, John Wick: Chapter 4 is Adkins' highest-profile role to date. It may be a lot of people's first exposure to him. What a kick they're gonna get out of seeing what he's usually up to, once they dig into his back catalog. John Wick: Chapter 4 is in theaters March 24th. SCOTT ADKINS BIO (FROM WIKIPEDIA) Scott Adkins (born 17 June 1976) is an English actor, film producer and martial artist. He is best known for his role as the Russian prison fighter Yuri Boyka in the Undisputed franchise. He has played Yuri Boyka in the 2006 film Undisputed II: Last Man Standing and its two sequels, Undisputed III: Redemption (2010) and Boyka: Undisputed (2017); Casey Bowman in the 2009 film Ninja and its 2013 sequel Ninja: Shadow of a Tear; French in the 2018 film The Debt Collector and its 2020 sequel Debt Collectors (starring alongside Louis Mandylor). He worked in four films with his idol Jean-Claude Van Damme: The Shepherd: Border Patrol, Assassination Games, Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning and The Expendables 2. He also had starring roles in The Legend of Hercules, Wolf Warrior and Ip Man 4: The Finale playing the main antagonist in all three films, and also appeared in The Bourne Ultimatum, Zero Dark Thirty, and the Marvel projects Mutant X, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Doctor Strange. In 2022, he starred in Day Shift with Jamie Foxx and Dave Franco, and will appear in John Wick: Chapter 4 alongside Keanu Reeves in 2023.

Award-winning health expert Nicole Kerr is the co-author of Eating the Rainbow: Lifelong Nutritional Wellness—Without Lies, Hype, or Calculus. She has appeared on CNN, PBS, CBS, ABC, the Food Channel, and a host of other TV and radio shows to share her unique perspective on wellness, lifestyle, and nutrition.
For the past 30 years, Nicole has worked in all sectors of society, including in government (the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), non-profit (American Cancer Society), military (United States Air Force Medical Operations), academia (University of Hawaii), healthcare institutions/hospitals (Adventist Health Castle and Queens Medical Center), corporate settings (Sea Ties, LLC), and private consultation. Nicole’s warm, engaging presentations have earned her a place in front of international audiences ranging from corporate food producers to health and medical associations. Throughout her career, she has focused on supporting people from every walk of life to make realistic, meaningful, happy choices for lifelong health and well-being.

When she was a 19-year-old cadet at the United States Air Force Academy, Nicole would be forced to learn how to live and love differently following a terrifying and transformative Near-Death Experience. Her memory of the crash came back 20 years later, and it has taken Nicole almost another two decades to align her soul, spirit, mind, and body, proving healing is certainly a non-linear process.

A disabled veteran, Nicole now maintains a private practice primarily using Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) targeting the often overlooked domains of emotional, energy, and spiritual well-being.

For more than four decades I have been engaged in—and a student of—change at the personal, organizational, and societal levels. Among the many things that I have learned three facts stand out.

• Change happens; it is happening at an accelerating rate; and it is becoming increasingly complex. There is no antidote to change. Even if you try to isolate yourself from changes that are uncomfortable, you are subject to change as things around you move further and further away from your status quo.
• All change is personal. Whether it is strictly a personal change, an organizationally-driven change, or social change…every change that touches your life in any way is personal. The choice you have is whether to allow yourself to be managed by the change—perhaps even to be victimized by it—or whether you are going to take control of your response.
• Every change is different, and all change is the same. As different as changes appear to be, underneath them there is a consistent set of patterns. Knowing these universal patterns of how people respond to change won’t make you immune to the impact of change; however, it will increase the likelihood of successfully navigating it.

Thank you for your time. ]]>1923brand,business,company,leadershipfalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/yvette-nicole-brown-of-the-new-series-act-your-age--53236256
Yvette landed her first television role - - a two-episode gig playing Toni Childs' sister "Sherri" on GIRLFRIENDS - - by chance. Casting director Robi Reed called her in to audition from a post card submission. Yvette had no credits and no agent. That stroke of serendipity at the beginning of her career, taught Yvette that you never know how God is going to move in your life and career. Booking a series regular role two months later, on the first pilot she auditioned for further proved the point. That show, ABC's THE BIG HOUSE -- which starred Kevin Hart, only lasted a few episodes; but that experience proved to be a blessing as well. Through it, Yvette learned the transient nature of the business and to always "travel light".

Yvette has since appeared (and often recurred) on shows as varied as ENTOURAGE, PSYCH, CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, HOT IN CLEVELAND, MELISSA & JOEY, THE OFFICE, THE SOUL MAN, THAT'S SO RAVEN, HALF & HALF, SLEEPER CELL, HOUSE, TWO AND A HALF MEN, THAT 70'S SHOW and BOSTON LEGAL - - where she got to perform "Big, Blonde & Beautiful" from Hairspray. It was a bit of a homecoming because Yvette is no stranger to singing. She was managed by Michael Bivins (of New Edition and BBD) and signed to Motown Records when she was just a teen.

Younger viewers may know Yvette from her recurring role on Nickelodeon's DRAKE & JOSH, where she played movie theater manager, Helen Ophelia Dubois. Landing that role was another serendipitous experience. The role of Helen was to be a one-time role; one that Yvette auditioned for while on hiatus from THE BIG HOUSE. That one-time role turned into four years of employment and introduced Yvette and her silliness to the best group of fans in the world...kids! The cast of DRAKE & JOSH reunited in 2008 for the holiday movie, "Merry Christmas: Drake & Josh," a film that broke Nickelodeon viewership records when it was seen by over 8 million viewers the night it debuted. It has since gone on to become an annual holiday favorite.

Yvette has also had a successful career in commercials. She's appeared in over 40 national spots. You may have seen her in ads for BIG LOTS, PINE SOL, CITIBANK, FIBER ONE YOGURT, DAIRY QUEEN, HAMBURGER HELPER, ARROWHEAD WATER, HOME DEPOT, COMCAST, LG and DiGIORNO'S PIZZA to name a few. Yvette was also immortalized in puppet form as "Mrs. Lewis, from downstairs" in a series of NIKE spots alongside puppet versions of Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. She is also making a name for herself in the voiceover world. She can currently be heard as "Luna" on Disney's ELENA OF AVALOR, "Principal Waller" on DC's SUPERHERO GIRLS and the dual role of "Portia" and "Zenith" on Crackle's SUPERMANSION where she works alongside Bryan Cranston and Keegan Michael Key. She also voiced the character "Cookie" for three seasons as one of the HUB Network's POUND PUPPIES. Listen closely and you can also hear Yvette on WABBIT, FAMILY GUY, PUPPY DOG PALS, THE REGULAR SHOW and DOC McSTUFFINS just to name a few and recently made her feature animated debut voicing "Ladybug" in the film "Yellowbird"

Most recently, Yvette has made the rounds of numerous game shows and talk shows including THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT, THE CHEW, THE VIEW, THE REAL, HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT, TO TELL THE TRUTH, CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD, PYRAMID, MATCH GAME, CELEB NAME GAME and her absolute favorite, THE TALKING DEAD.

In addition to her commercial and television work--most recently as a series regular on CBS' THE ODD COUPLE, Yvette also has a burgeoning film career. She made her film debut in the romantic comedy, "Little Black Book," working alongside Brittany Murphy and Oscar winners, Holly Hunter and Kathy Bates. Her next film, Michael Bay's futuristic thriller, "The Island" put her on the set with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson. Supporting roles in other films including "Dreamgirls" and "The Kid and I," - - where she first met and worked with one of her childhood heroes, Henry Winkler - - soon followed. She was in the box office hit, "Tropic Thunder" (directed by Ben Stiller) where she worked with Matthew McConaughey; as well as the family film, "Meet Dave" where she realized a childhood dream by sharing the screen with Eddie Murphy.

Other film roles include the family film, "Hotel for Dogs" starring Emma Roberts and Don Cheadle, the romantic comedy, "The Ugly Truth" starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler, the indie hit, "(500) Days of Summer" starring Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt; and the action thriller, "Repo Men" where she shared the screen with Jude Law and Oscar winner, Forest Whitaker. Most recently, those with a keen eye, could see Yvette peeking thru loads of prosthetic makeup as one of the "three fates" in the Percy Jackson sequel, "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters".

Yvette also appeared in the hit BET mini-series THE NEW EDITION STORY and hosted SyFy's game show, COSPLAY MELEE, Yvette also co-starred in the recent ABC sitcom THE MAYOR and starred as Shirley Bennett for five seasons on the NBC hit comedy series COMMUNITY.

Yvette currently resides in L.A.

ABOUT ACT YOUR AGE, PREMIERING MARCH 4th ON BOUNCE

Series premiere of 'Act Your Age' set for Saturday, March 4 on Bounce, starring Kym Whitley and Tisha Campbell, with special guest star Yvette Nicole Brown

Double-episode premiere kicks off at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT

Bounce, the popular broadcast and multi-platform entertainment network serving African Americans, today announced that its newest original series, "Act Your Age," produced in partnership with MGM, will premiere on Saturday, March 4, with the first two episodes back-to-back starting at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT.

The premieres kick off the two-part, 16-episode first season, with the first eight episodes running weekly throughout the spring and the second half running over the summer.

The multiple-camera, half-hour comedy tells the story of three vibrant, successful Washington D.C./Northern Virginia-area women in their 50s who are each at a personal crossroads and who decide the best way forward in life is together. "Act Your Age" stars Kym Whitley ("Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Next Friday," "Young and Hungry") and Tisha Campbell ("Uncoupled," "My Wife and Kids," "Dr. Ken") with special guest star Yvette Nicole Brown ("Community," "The Mayor," "Big Shot").

Whitley plays Bernadette, a successful, no-nonsense real estate developer. Campbell plays Keisha, the wild card of the group who is always up to something, and Brown plays Angela, the former First Lady of Norfolk, Virginia, who is looking to redefine her life after being widowed by her husband, a revered career politician.

The multi-generational sitcom also features Mariah Robinson ("The Wrong Valentine") and Nathan Anderson ("Black-ish," "Richie Rich,") as the 20-something children of Angela and Bernadette, respectively.

Alyson Fouse ("Big Shot," "Everybody Hates Chris," "The Wanda Sykes Show") created the series and serves as showrunner and executive producer. The series is executive produced by Barry Poznick, Bradley Gardner ("Hot in Cleveland") and David Hudson; and co-executive produced by Ranada Shepard and Ken Ornstein ("Everybody Loves Raymond").

In addition to Bounce, viewers can also watch "Act Your Age" - along with all Bounce original series - anytime on Brown Sugar, Bounce's subscription video-on-demand service, with episodes dropping the day after their Bounce premieres. Visit www.BrownSugar.com for more information.

For over a decade, ReidKirchenbauer has searched Asia for some of the world’s top-performing investments. He directs Invest Asian’s global research and day-to-day operations, focusing on uncorrelated assets that will grow and preserve client wealth.

Reid moved to Asia the week after he turned 18 and soon afterward graduated with a finance degree from Chulalongkorn University in Thailand. He then started the world’s first frontier market property fund in Cambodia.

From buying property in Thailand to trading stocks in Singapore, Reid has the answers to your questions about investing across Asia. He has been investing in real estate and private equity in Asia for more than a decade.

He was a child actor with roles in movies starring alongside Jim Carrey in "How The Grinch StoleChristmas" and around a dozen nationally-aired TV commercials for Cap'N Crunch cereal while growing up in Los Angeles. The government keeps your money until you’re an adult in this situation… unless you invest it. This led to his career, strangely enough. Most of his spare time as a child was spent reading books, doing research online, and trading international stocks.

Students are struggling to make healthy choices when dealing with pain and adversity. As a result, they make unhealthy decisions that do not solve their problems and are more likely to make them worse. This can lead to mental health challenges, including addiction, anxiety, and depression. Unfortunately, many youths believe they deserve what they are experiencing and, without help, will continue further down their darkened paths.

I help students and student-athletes understand how making better life decisions now leads to a more fulfilling life. Through stories and examples, the students and athletes learn how they can immediately change the course of their own lives and the lives of others.

In our conversation, I include real-life experiences, including having witnessed my younger brother make poor decisions that ultimately led to his death. Of course, we also discuss people who have turned their lives around through making positive choices.

If your audience includes students, student-athletes, or their teachers and parents, I would enjoy the opportunity to show them how the decisions they make every day can have long-term consequences on their lives.

EMMY AWARD-WINNING JOURNALIST PAULA FARIS CHAMPIONS MILLIONS OF OVERWHELMED AND DEPLETED WORKING MOMS IN UPCOMING BOOK YOU DON'T HAVE TO CARRY IT ALL: DITCH THE MOM GUILT AND FIND A BETTER WAY FORWARD RELEASES MARCH 7, 2023, AVAILABLE NOW FOR PREORDER

In Faris's Most Important Reporting Yet, She Explores What It Would Look Like To Give Working Moms The Support They So Desperately Need And Deserve

"THIS is the book working moms have been waiting for!"- Jenna Bush Hager, co-host of TODAY with Hoda and Jenna, bestselling author, and journalist

Paula Faris, Emmy Award-winning journalist as ABC News co-anchor of "Good Morning America Weekend" and "The View," announces the release of her latest book, You Don't Have to Carry It All: Ditch the Mom Guilt and Find a Better Way Forward. Featuring insightful and practical steps for better working, momming, and living, the upcoming title allows readers to learn through Faris' unique lens as a successful journalist and mom-of-three as she reveals what it would look like to give moms the support they need and deserve. The new title releases on March 7, 2023 via Worthy Publishing, a division of Hachette Book Group, and is available now for preorder.

Says Faris, "Working moms carry more than their fair share. They're raising children, tackling a mountain of household tasks, and building successful careers. But they're doing it without the support they so desperately need and deserve."

Like so many mothers who were forced out of their jobs during the pandemic, Faris lost hers at ABC News in 2020. It was then she knew she wanted to create a better way forward for working moms. Moms who are tired of the constant conflict between working and momming; of feeling that they're failing everyone, everywhere; of facing the gender disparities in workplaces that treat mothers like risks instead of assets; and of dealing with the exhaustion of trying to carry it all. Faris, a self-described "advocate for moms," launched CARRY Media in 2022 to champion working moms through resources, content and storytelling.

In You Don't Have to Carry It All, Faris gathers groundbreaking research, inspirational wisdom and a vision that will not only make being a working mom "work" but will reveal how and why society needs to value mothers first by:

• Recognizing the history of working moms in America and its lasting impact today

• Showing how motherhood has scientifically improved the minds and capabilities of women

• Encouraging moms to link arms, not only with each other, but also with men

• Proving why corporate America is better with moms at the helm

"Full of empathy, wisdom, and humor, You Don't Have to Carry it All is a knowing look from your best friend, a hug, a helping hand, a word of hope and encouragement just when you need it most," says Daisy Blackwell, VP & Publisher of Worthy Publishing. "Readers will feel seen, heard, and understood and will be equipped to create positive change in their own lives and in the lives of other working moms."

Adds Faris, "I've spent 25+ years reporting on a myriad of stories, and I believe THIS is my most important reporting yet. After interviewing countless experts, thought leaders and mothers, I'm hopeful that we'll be able to create a path forward to ditch the mom guilt, end burnout and finally give working moms the support they so desperately need! Besides, we've got moms on this job, and there are literally no hands more capable than theirs!"

EMMY AWARD-WINNING JOURNALIST PAULA FARIS CHAMPIONS MILLIONS OF OVERWHELMED AND DEPLETED WORKING MOMS IN UPCOMING BOOK YOU DON'T HAVE TO CARRY IT ALL: DITCH THE MOM GUILT AND FIND A BETTER WAY FORWARD RELEASES MARCH 7, 2023, AVAILABLE NOW FOR PREORDER

In Faris's Most Important Reporting Yet, She Explores What It Would Look Like To Give Working Moms The Support They So Desperately Need And Deserve

"THIS is the book working moms have been waiting for!"- Jenna Bush Hager, co-host of TODAY with Hoda and Jenna, bestselling author, and journalist

Paula Faris, Emmy Award-winning journalist as ABC News co-anchor of "Good Morning America Weekend" and "The View," announces the release of her latest book, You Don't Have to Carry It All: Ditch the Mom Guilt and Find a Better Way Forward. Featuring insightful and practical steps for better working, momming, and living, the upcoming title allows readers to learn through Faris' unique lens as a successful journalist and mom-of-three as she reveals what it would look like to give moms the support they need and deserve. The new title releases on March 7, 2023 via Worthy Publishing, a division of Hachette Book Group, and is available now for preorder.

Says Faris, "Working moms carry more than their fair share. They're raising children, tackling a mountain of household tasks, and building successful careers. But they're doing it without the support they so desperately need and deserve."

Like so many mothers who were forced out of their jobs during the pandemic, Faris lost hers at ABC News in 2020. It was then she knew she wanted to create a better way forward for working moms. Moms who are tired of the constant conflict between working and momming; of feeling that they're failing everyone, everywhere; of facing the gender disparities in workplaces that treat mothers like risks instead of assets; and of dealing with the exhaustion of trying to carry it all. Faris, a self-described "advocate for moms," launched CARRY Media in 2022 to champion working moms through resources, content and storytelling.

In You Don't Have to Carry It All, Faris gathers groundbreaking research, inspirational wisdom and a vision that will not only make being a working mom "work" but will reveal how and why society needs to value mothers first by:

• Recognizing the history of working moms in America and its lasting impact today

• Showing how motherhood has scientifically improved the minds and capabilities of women

• Encouraging moms to link arms, not only with each other, but also with men

• Proving why corporate America is better with moms at the helm

"Full of empathy, wisdom, and humor, You Don't Have to Carry it All is a knowing look from your best friend, a hug, a helping hand, a word of hope and encouragement just when you need it most," says Daisy Blackwell, VP & Publisher of Worthy Publishing. "Readers will feel seen, heard, and understood and will be equipped to create positive change in their own lives and in the lives of other working moms."

Adds Faris, "I've spent 25+ years reporting on a myriad of stories, and I believe THIS is my most important reporting yet. After interviewing countless experts, thought leaders and mothers, I'm hopeful that we'll be able to create a path forward to ditch the mom guilt, end burnout and finally give working moms the support they so desperately need! Besides, we've got moms on this job, and there are literally no hands more capable than theirs!"

CNN Correspondent Chloe Melas, Her Mother, and Her Grandmother Band Together to Honor His Legacy

Murphy was a member of the 100th Bomb Group, aka "The Bloody Hundredth"

"In the pursuit of authenticity, of accurate history and undeniable courage, no words matter more than 'I was there.' Read LUCK OF THE DRAW and the life of Frank Murphy and ponder this: How did those boys do such things?"-Tom Hanks

Chloe Melas is a much-recognized CNN Entertainment correspondent by day, but she has a passion that bridges her chosen field with the legacy of her late grandfather, Frank Murphy.

Last year, Melas and her family visited the set of Masters of the Air, the Playtone (Tom Hanks)/Amblin Entertainment (Stephen Spielberg) Apple+ series coming in early 2023. Her grandfather is the basis of the character featured in the series and planed by Jonas Moore.

Now, along with her mother and grandmother, she has shepherded the reissue of Murphy's 2001 memoir, LUCK OF THE DRAW: My Story of the Air War in Europe (St. Martin's Press Griffin; on sale February 28, 2023; $18.99 USD) to coincide with the premiere of the series.

"My grandfather once told me he spent the rest of the life walking with ghosts but looking back with pride,"Melas writes in the foreword she co-wrote with her mother, Elizabeth Murphy and with the support of her grandmother, Ann Murphy. "Our family's goal is to keep Frank's memory and that of his fellow men alive and pass on the greatness to the next generation."

Murphy was a member of the 100th Bomb Group, one of five B-17 bomb groups sent to England in the spring of 1043 to form the new 4th Bomber Wing. He landed in England in June and by the time his plane was shot down in October, her served 126 hours in combat over Europe, experiencing some of the bloodiest fighting of the war.

In 2001, Murphy wrote about his combat tour, "It lasted only four months - four months, however, in which were compressed many of the most exciting, and all of the most frightening and life-threatening, experiences I have known in my entire life."

Given today's technology, stepping into a WWII vintage B-17 is akin to entering a tin can - one that flies and is manned by a crew of ten. Four of the crew members were officers in the front, the pilot, co-pilot, bombardier, and the navigator - the position held by Murphy. The navigator, Murphy wrote, "climbed aboard lugging a briefcase crammed with maps, Mercator charts, books, paper, pencils, drawing instruments, a hand-held calculator, and strange looking optical instruments. He was invariably hunched over his narrow shelf-like table in front of which was a repeater set of basic flight instruments and radio controls. He looked at his watch constantly, drew lines, and scrobbled notes to himself on the papers, maps, and charts in front of him, much like Scrooge's wretched drudge, Bob Cratchet, in Dicken's classic tale, A Christmas Carol."

In typical self-deprecating style, Murphy neglected to mention that he also led them to their target and got them home safely.

The six sergeants in the rear were aerial gunners and a radio technician. "No fighting men in military service anywhere, anytime, would be more deserving of respect," Murphy wrote. "The risks they took were all out of proportion to their military ratings or pay. Their job was difficult mentally and physically, and fraught with the danger of injury or death, almost always deep in enemy territory."

The 100th Bomber Group lost forty-five aircrafts together with their crews in less than 4 months of combat operations. Because of its heavy losses at Regensburg, Bremen, and Muster in August and October 1043, they became known throughout the Army's Eighth Air Force as The Bloody Hundredth.

LUCK OF THE DRAW features Murphy's harrowing descriptions of the battles, including the "suicide mission" that he and his fellow crewmen survived deep over enemy territory in Regensburg, and their final battle over Muster during what came to be known as Black Week (October 8-14, 1943), what Murphy describes as "a staccato succession of trials of fire on a scale unprecedented in aerial warfare."

Shot down over enemy territory, Murphy and the other surviving crew members were arrested by the German police. With the same eye for detail and storytelling ability that serves his combat writing, Murphy shares the highs and lows of his internment in the infamousStalag Luft III, later made famous by the Hollywood feature, The Great Escape. The men survived freezing conditions, near starvation and a last-minute forced march as the Russian Army approached. He was liberated on April 29, 1945.

Although he is not here to further describe those 22 months himself, his granddaughter Chloe Melas is available to share the stories learned at her grandfather's knee.

Among the items she could discuss are:

*The ragtag group of twenty-somethings, hailing from cities and small towns across the U.S. that made up the crew of Murphy's plane, The Bastard's Bungalow.

*Early flight technology described in minute detail by Murphy in the book.

*Bombing strategies that were only just taking shape as the war started, and the heroism involved in flying over fortified enemy territory.

*Conditions in the World War II POW camps, and how The Great Escape and Hogan's heroes barely scratched the surface.

*The trip forty years after the war that nudged Murphy to talk about his WWII experienced, and the camaraderie that developed among the survivors over the years.

*Why it is so important to share stories like this with a new generation.

In a tribute to his comrades, Murphy made this observation: "There was no single reason why men who looked death in the face over Europe in 1943 went back into battle day after day. The airmen of the Eighth were amateurs, not professional soldiers. We had no idea whether we were good soldiers or not, but we had not collapsed in the face of a difficult enemy. Duty, honor, country played their part, certainly, but not because these precepts were drilled into us by the Army. It was just the way we were. In my view, however, the single driving force that kept us going was the bond one felt with the men who stood steadfastly beside him when all their lives were at stake."

PRAISE FOR LUCK OF THE DRAW

"Murphy describes some of the bloodiest air battles of the war as only a person who was actually there can. Luck of the Draw is a riveting and often harrowing must-read for anyone interested in military aviation, the second world war, or just plain real-life adventure."- John Orloff, writer, HBO's Band of Brothers and Apple+'s Masters of the Air

"Navigator Frank Murphy's propulsive account of the American bomber war against Nazi Germany is also a powerful and poignant memoir of survival in a German POW compound. The books' heart-stopping account of the brutal Winter March of the captured Allied airmen across the heart of Hitler's dying Reich placed it with Twelve O'Clock High as a classic of World War II literature." -Donald L. Miller, author of Masters of the Air: The Greatest Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany

"A gripping, inspirational account of incredible bravery, resilience, and sheer will to survive. Frank Murphy was a true American hero who served courageously in the skies over Europe during WWII and who then demonstrated extraordinary fortitude and determination in the face of unimaginable challenges as a prisoner of war. A truly extraordinary story!"- General David Petraeus, US Army (Ret.), former Commander of the Surge in Iraq, US Central Command, and NATO and US Forces in Afghanistan, and former Director of the CIA

"Ever wonder if you had what it took to stare death in the face and push it aside and go forth into the unknown? That is what these young airmen of the 8th Army Air Force accomplished every time they leaded up for another mission. Frank Murphy has eloquently described the harrowing experiences of a B-17 crew from the loss of crewmembers, confronting his own mortality and ultimately the trauma of incarceration as a prisoner of war. This account is partly to honor his noble brothers of the air but also a reminder to future generations of the heroic young men of the Bomber Command."-Rick Perry, son of B-17 tail gunner BG, 14th Governor of Texas, and 7th Secretary of Energy

"Every generation needs a spokesman for it endeavors. In this respect Murphy does the young men of VIII Bomber command proud."-Roger A. Freeman, author and Eighth Air force historian

ABOUT FRANK MURPHY AND CHLOE MELAS

Frank D. Murphy survived months in a German POW camp after being shot out of his B-17 Flying Fortress. He withstood a harrowing death march in sub-zero temperatures - and his bravery earned him the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Purple Heart, and the Air Medal. The incredible stories of Frank Murphy and his 8th Air force's 100th Bomb Group - nicknamed The Bloody Hundredth - will be featured in the upcoming Stephen Spielberg and Tom Hanks Apple+ TV Series, Masters of the Air.

Chloe Melas is an entertainment reporter for CNN, covering breaking celebrity news, industry analysis and in-depth investigations. She currently resides in New York with her husband and their two sons.

Haylie Duff Bio

The older sister of actress and teen pop sensation Hilary Duff, Haylie Duff kicked off her career by focusing more on her skills in front of the camera than her talents behind a microphone. Though she would pen the occasional tune for her younger sibling, it was screen roles in such television hits as Chicago Hope, Boston Public, and (alongside her sister) Lizzie McGuire that first opened the eyes of the public to the talents of the ambitious rising starlet. Born just two years prior to her sister, Haylie made her screen debut alongside Hilary in the female Western True Women before branching out into features with supporting performances in Dreams in the Attic and I Love Your Work. It was during this period of her career that Haylie would contribute to the soundtracks of such films as A Cinderella Story, Stuck in the Suburbs, and Raising Helen, with a memorable performance in the cult hit Napoleon Dynamite serving well to offer her some indie exposure in addition to her mainstream success. A subsequent return to the small screen found Haylie making a notable impression in That's So Raven, Joan of Arcadia, and 7th Heaven, and in 2006 it was finally time to join Hilary on the big screen (as sisters no less) for the riches-to-rags comedy Material Girls. Also that same year, Haylie made her Broadway debut as the character Amber Von Tussle in the musical Hairspray. In 2008 Haylie hosted the MTV reality competition show Legally Blonde the Musical: The Search for Elle Woods, in which singers competed to star in the upcoming production of the Broadway musical of the hit film Legally Blonde.

Alison Ver Halen and I am the owner and president of AV Writing Services. I graduated from Lawrence University with a degree in English and Psychology, as well as a minor in Theater, and although I didn’t know it at the time, it turned out to be the perfect degree for content marketing: the English degree taught me how to use language and storytelling, while the Psychology degree taught me what drives people and how to motivate them to buy. I graduated in 2009 – the Great Recession had just begun and there were no jobs to be had for an eager, fresh-faced college graduate such as myself. So I answered phones, ordered office supplies, filed paperwork, etc. They were jobs that almost paid the bills, but they were not careers. At one point, I found myself between jobs and my roommate at the time talked to her dad, who was an attorney, and he offered to give me things to do around his office until I got back on my feet. One of the things he needed was someone to write blog posts for his law firm, and knowing I had a strong writing background, he asked if I’d be interested. As someone who has been reading and writing ever since I learned my alphabet, I jumped at the chance to get paid to write. So I started writing 2-4 blog posts per month for him, and after six months, he told me that my blog posts had brought in $75,000 worth of business for his law firm. That was several years ago, and since then, I have only gotten better at what I do. Not only do I write better blog posts, but I have added SEO and content strategy skills so that my clients’ content has a better chance of showing up in online searches. My minor in Theater has been put to use in the form of public speaking, which I have used to educate my fellow small business owners and solopreneurs about the benefits of content marketing.

Thank you for your time. ]]>102media,news,superbowlfalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/court-tv-s-someone-they-knew-with-tamron-hall--52694105
Court TV, the popular multi-platform network devoted to live, gavel-to-gavel coverage, in-depth legal reporting and expert analysis of the nation's most important and compelling trials and crime stories, announced today that its hit true-crime series, "Someone They Knew With Tamron Hall," will return for its second season on Sunday, Feb. 19 at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT, with the first of 24 new episodes to be seen Sunday nights.

Hosted by Daytime Emmy Award-winning TV host, journalist and author Tamron Hall, this true-crime series follows the path from victim to verdict and explores how, when it comes to murder, it is rare for there to be no prior connection between the killer and the deceased.

No voice-overs, no reporters and no correspondents, the stories are told from the point of view of the people impacted by the case, including the lawyers, jurors, members of law enforcement and the victim's family and friends. Utilizing new interviews, archival footage and re-creations of the crime, the goal of each episode is an unbiased 360-degree balanced story.

"Season one of 'Someone They Knew' quickly became a staple among Court TV's unparalleled coverage of the hottest, most compelling and complex court cases of our time," said Ethan Nelson, head of Court TV. "For season two, viewers can expect more of these fascinating cases with 24 new and intriguing true crime stories."

"I have always been pulled into the 'why' - why crimes like this happen, and the distressing impact they bring to family, friends and loved ones," said Hall. "It's because of this that returning for season two is so personally important to me. I know I speak for the entire 'Someone They Knew' team when I say that we can't wait to bring more of these stories to Court TV viewers."

Among the second season cases:

"Burning Jealousy" (Georgia v. Davis): David Coffin's house burned down with him in it, but it wasn't the fire that killed him. It was the bullet in his head. Investigators immediately focused on Scott Davis, the estranged husband of Coffin's new girlfriend. But Davis said that someone had tried to burn down his house that same night. Was Davis spinning tales, or was someone out to get them both?

"Student Body" (South Carolina v. Richardson): In 2001, University of South Carolina student Shelton Sanders disappeared while planning a friend's bachelor party. He was never seen again. When evidence leads to an arrest, however, prosecutors are left with a tall task: how do you prove a murder if you don't have a body?

"Mommy Dearest" (Florida v. Cooney): Divorce wasn't enough to end the animosity between James and Linda Cooney. The bitterness continued until Linda shot James dead with a .357 Magnum. She claimed self-defense. The only witness: their 10-year-old son. His testimony would determine his mother's fate, and his own.

"A Hit with a Bullet" (Tennessee v. D'Antonio): It's not easy to score a successful song in Nashville - what they called "a bullet." Sometimes what it takes is a little more than talent and a little less than legal. Kevin Hughes caught a different kind of bullet. 12 years later, investigators uncovered the conspiracy that killed him.

"Ten Years After" (Massachusetts v. Hilton): When a fire breaks out in Krystina Sutherland's apartment building, the first suspect is her ex-boyfriend, Charles Loayza. After all, he had threatened to burn it down earlier that day. But Loayza had an airtight alibi, and witnesses saw a different face: Loayza's mother, Kathleen Hilton. What could have sparked her ire, and why did she spend ten years to get to trial?

Hall is the host and executive producer of the award winning daytime television show "Tamron Hall," which is produced and distributed in national syndication by Walt Disney Television. For her work on the show's first season, Hall won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Informative Talk Show Host. "Tamron Hall" was also awarded the prestigious Gracie Award in its first season, which recognizes exemplary programming created by women. In October 2021, Hall released her first novel, "As The Wicked Watch" - the first in a thrilling new crime series.

Envision Results, is a mindset and personal success group that pushes people to more. By being around like-minded people who support and encourage, we grow and take new chances. By being held accountable and seeking outside input we are inspired to do new things and pursue old dreams. By mastering the steps of mastering our mind and our actions, anything becomes possible. Success is a process that we all need to re-learn because we are all responsible for ourselves and our legacy.

No matter what your past, your future is dependent on what you do today. People often wait for their “golden opportunity” or until it’s “their turn” to be successful. However, those opportunities aren’t handed out. They are created by individuals who are passionate about and determined to improve the quality of their life and reach their goals. these opportunities are for the people who ask for them and are willing to risk for them. Most people spend more time planning a vacation - two weeks of their life - rather than planning their life to be the dream.

Most of us already know what to do to succeed; we just don’t take the actions to follow through. The fear of failure and judgement and expense and time all stand in the way. These are only fears...in our minds.

I want to help with that - believing in goals that seem impossible; believing in oneself to create unshakeable self confidence; and recognizing what stands in the way is easily moved.

In 2011, I had overcome an eating disorder, entrenched myself into learning about nutrition and fitness and graduated with a masters degree in Mental Health Counseling. For 10 years, I worked as a mental health clinician during the day and during the night I rented a space in a gym to train, coach and guide women who wanted to transform their bodies. I became a bodybuilder in 2014 which taught me so much about myself, pushed me to limits both mentally and physically I never knew possible. In 2019 several clients would say to me, "Lauren, thank you for showing and helping me understand this isn't just about the foods or about the exercises but about all the thoughts and feelings around these things."

Covid had hit my family very hard. I had a baby out of wedlock during a time when the world felt upside down and inside out. Moving from NY to FL I believed in myself, my knowledge and my capability to transform women's lives so much I left the corporate world and started my online coaching business.

I truly love and live to help others, hear their stories, understand their inner monologue and how they "tick" and utilize all of this to guide them to the greatest version of themselves raising self esteem, confidence which trickles to all aspects in a woman's life.

As Extras Casting Director, Tracey cast for the popular FOX show New York Undercover and Spike Lee's "Girl 6". Her commercial credits include: Nike, Sprite, Coca-Cola, New York Times, Miller Lite, Pontiac, Taco Bell, Disney and PSA's Under the Influence.

In her "spare" time, Tracey enjoys speaking to students at various colleges. She has lectured at Howard University, Long Island University, CW Post, Georgia State University and Loyola Marymount University. Tracey also teaches The Spirited Actor Workshop and she conducts private coaching sessions. Her clients are Cardi B, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliot, Eve, Nelly, Q-Tip, Faith Evans, LaLa Anthony, Naturi Naughton, Olivia, Jennifer Williams, Drew Sidora, Russell Hornsby, Kellita Smith, Charlie Murphy, Chico DeBarge, Musiq Soulchild, Faith Evans, Common, Ludacris, Victoria Rowell, Mona Scott Young, Q- Tip, Darius Rucker (Hootie and the Blowfish) Lil' Wayne, Joumana Kidd, Salt N Pepa, Laura Izibor, Kenny Latimore, NBA's Ray Allen, Terrence and Rocsi of BET's 106th and Park, Fonsworth Bentley of BET's Lift Every Voice, Tiny, Estelle, Kem, NFL Thomas Q.

I worked for New York City Homeless Services and HIV/AIDS care for 40 years. As a case manager specialist, I assisted clients with financial benefits, health care, evictions, and permanent housing. I have a good recommendation for helping those in need, especially with seeking housing. Because of my persistence to help the homeless, I was honored with the PAI award and a certificate for Outstanding Services at Human Resources Administration from the commissioner of NY, Steven Banks. Helping the homeless gave me the opportunity to understand their struggles and triumphs. I also attended Fordham University Graduate school of Social Services HIV/AIDS Academy.

While finishing up my Masters Degree in Kinesiology I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Being a self-described "health freak", this news struck me as scary. Doctors told me I would be in a wheelchair the rest of my life if I didn't take medication.
My diagnosis came on the heels of me becoming a Chicago Firefighter. Now I felt the pressure to not only put out fires at work but also within my own body.

I chose to figure out how to heal myself through food, exercise and eventually dealing with my emotions.

I learned that emotions create blockages in the body on a subtle level. The more negative emotions we stuff down, the deeper the wounds go.

Eventually I decided to help myself by energetically releasing trapped and ancestral emotions so that my cellular bodies could heal. As suppressed emotions left my body, the healing began.

Now using several techniques, I have learned how to allow healing to anyone as long as they are ready.

The physical body is the result of our vibrations that are inherent within each of us but also picked up from people and the environment around us.

Tuning in and adjusting our vibration to match that which we desire, requires change but will ultimately lead you to that which you truly want in life - love, peace, joy and abundance.

Tiffani attended Southern University, where she earned a BS and MA in Sociology and later earned a BS in Theology and a MA in Christian Psychology from Midwest Seminary of Bible Theology. She’s a certified life coach with over 20 years experience as a licensed minister and sociology professor, and she was a contract speaker for Monster Job’s Making High School Count.

Tiffani is often invited to speak at different events on topics such as Biblical strategies to overcome life’s challenges, crushing limiting beliefs, and healing from relationship trauma. She has a keen understanding of the influence of society on people and the challenges they face. That’s why her messages provide effective strategies to overcome obstacles and have complete wellness (spiritually, mentally, relationally, physically, and financially).

In the fall of 2021, Tiffani released her first book, DriVen: To Find Peace, Purpose, and Power, which immediately became an Amazon best-seller. DriVen was written to continue Tiffani’s pursuit to strengthen believers’ relationships with their Heavenly Father, thus enabling them to live more victorious lives. On January 6, 2023, she will release Change Is Coming- Faith to Face The Inevitable. Tiffani is a native of Louisiana but calls Texas her home, where she lives with her husband of 20 years, Wil Davis, and they have three children Brian, Jordan, and Sidni.

Over a decade of experience in mental health, worked with thousands of people, former FDNY firefighter, and currently a psychotherapist and master mindset coach. Helping people achieve mastery over their mindsets to live a more aligned and powerful life.

About Vin




Throughout my life I suffered with crippling anxiety, panic attacks and deep suicidal depression. I was living in a state of victim-hood where all I saw was darkness.
When I finally realized what I was doing to myself by holding these beliefs, I began to create mental shifts. I started identifying how I can own more of my life and really lead myself. To become someone who created life instead of being dragged through it.

Through my decade of combined experience as a licensed psychotherapist, a firefighter, business owner, and mindset coach I've learned a few things about what it truly takes to own your life.

I have helped thousands of people over my time in service to others; and what I can share with your audience are personal stories of how I overcame adversity and how I turned pain into power.

Professionally speaking I've worked in homeless shelters, in-patient units, out-patient, hospitals, clinics, department of education all as a therapist. I have my masters degree and license for clinical social work. I also received my coaching certification training under Tony Robbins RMT training program. My total experience has been currently 13 years and counting.

I speak a lot on the deeper psychological aspects of the subconscious mind and our deep rooted internal programming. I speak on neurology and physiology and how all of these aspects go hand in hand to create the life you are living.

I'll give listeners actionable and practical steps on how they can improve their lives backed by research, and experience. I am not secretive with my methods or how I help people. I'm on a mission to impact 1 Billion lives, and I'll share as much info as I can as freely as possible.

I've also been featured in Forbes, NY Weekly, International Business Times, Entrepreneur and a few other places discussing how people can create massive shifts and high-lighting what I do with my hybrid coaching services.

I also am an angel investor, and I advise/consult/coach for equity, I own a laundromat and am currently looking into a few other business ventures. I have an entrepreneurial side to me as well as being a mindset coach, so we can also discuss business if that's a desired topic of yours!

You and your audience can expect the amount of depth I would give to any of my coaching clients as I will provide as much value as I can in every conversation!

After months of hard work and rehabilitation, Holly made an almost complete recovery. She then wrote her book, “Happily Ever After”, to share with others what she went through. Her goal in sharing her story was to reach others going through GBS and to create some much needed awareness on this rare but devastating illness. She wanted her story to remind others that through the difficult times in your life, you can find your strength. Her journey is documented in her viral YouTube Video – Holly’s Journey: From Guillain -Barre Syndrome to Happily Ever After.

Only a few years after her recovery, Holly found herself rebuilding her life all over again following the end of her decade long marriage. Instead of letting the struggles in her life break her, she used them to become stronger. Holly got herself a gym membership, and fell in love with fitness. She refused to make excuses or let her weaknesses hold her back, and gave it her all. Knowing that she had been in a wheelchair and used a walker at one point only helped her to push herself. Her determination and perseverance helped her conquer her goals, and she is now a certified fitness trainer in the best shape of her life.

Holly’s inspirational story has been all over international media, and she continues to share her experiences with the world. She volunteers with the GBS Foundation of Canada and connects with others in hopes of inspiring them to never, ever give up.

Holly now shares a life with her fiance and their blended family of five in Edmonton, Canada. She is currently at work on her new book Life Support which will replace Happily Ever After, will be published in May 2022.

Dr. Mahsa's treatment modality is a combination of different cutting edge treatments for depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma. She uses a psychodynamic approach to treatment, where the goal of treatment is to identify, grieve, and heal the root causes of the symptoms. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, attachment, and other modalities to provide her clients with tools to manage their symptoms as together they embark on the journey of self-discovery, healing, and thriving. She considers herself a guide, collaborator, and source of support for her clients. She provides her clients with insights related to their adaptive and maladaptive behaviors, thoughts, and ways of interacting with others. She helps her clients understand and appreciate the need for these behaviors at the time they were developed and how to improve upon them. In her sessions, she helps the clients to explore, understand and come to terms with their experiences, feel what was unfelt, resolve what is unresolved and grow and prosper with the renewed freedom they reach as a result.

One of my most defining moments was when my mother passed away last year. Hearing she passed away left me motionless in my thoughts. It was a shocking moment I will never forget. My mom was my biggest supporter and always advocated for me. She stood behind me and was passionate about anything I was working on. I was starting to speak on a few podcasts before, and she was proud every time I said. Recently, I have been grateful to speak on so many podcasts and share my journey.

The following week, after she passed away, I worked on different professional projects, including the magazine, because I knew that was what she would want more than anything. She wouldn’t want me to lose sight of my vision for the world. Even though it was incredibly hard, I didn’t want to make her any less proud of me. I have faced many rejections and setbacks, which one faces even more if they put themselves out there more. But my mother’s story is the most powerful one that has made me even more resilient. Before, I wanted to make myself and my mom proud, but now, it is more than that. It is about imprinting her legacy in the hearts of others, so they can experience the selflessness and beauty she carried.

It pains me I don’t get to hear her thoughts, feel her love, and see her reaction to some of the most amazing things that have ever happened to me, like being invited to the White House as a mental health advocate and meeting President Joseph Biden. Even though she is physically not here, I know in my heart she is here in a spiritual capacity. I recently had a dream about her, and it was so clear. A wave of peace and tranquility fell over me, and I knew she was beside me. It was one of my most pleasant dreams, making me feel fulfilled and happy.

A highly trained martial artist and actor, Michael Jai White has broken barriers as a Hollywood star and international box office sensation. With his dynamic personality, agile abilities and a physique of a bodybuilder, Michael has earned respect for his versatile talents both on and off screen.

Born November 10th in Brooklyn, New York, it was after watching the movie Five Fingers of Death, Michael's interest in the martial arts began. At the tender age seven, Michael started taking weekly Japanese Jujitsu classes to stay focused while growing up on the tough streets of Brooklyn. By age eight, Michael's family relocated to Bridgeport, Connecticut where he studied the Shotokan and Kyokushin forms of karate and earned his first black belt by age 13. Upton graduating from Bridgeport's Central High School, Michael went on to further his education, first attending Southern Connecticut and then UConn. While winning multiple championships as a national martial arts competitor, Michael became a Special Education teacher at Wilbur Cross Elementary School in Bridgeport.

Bitten by the acting bug in college, while teaching, Michael began auditioning for commercials and acting gigs on weekends and summer breaks. Michael landed the lead role of Tom Robinson in the first Off-Broadway adaptation of To Kill A Mockingbird, starring opposite Tony Award Winner George Grizzard. Shortly after, Michael began landing jobs in commercials and guest starring roles on television shows and films; he eventually left teaching and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career full-time.

Before long, Michael would go on to guest star on such hit television shows as Saved by the Bell, Martin, NYPD Blue, and CSI. Proving his acting ability, Michael would soon be cast for the lead role of legendary boxer Mike Tyson in the HBO biopic Tyson which solidified his legitimacy as a dramatic actor in Hollywood.

Michael was then cast to play the title character in the movie Spawn which came with the distinction of being the first black superhero in a major motion picture. As white cemented his Hollywood status as a bonafide action star, more diverse roles emerged that allowed him to showcase his physical prowess as well as display his on-screen charisma and comedic ability in such films as Exit Wounds, Undisputed 2, Silver Hawk, Blood & Bone, Black Dynamite and Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married and Why Did I Get Married Too playing opposite Tasha Smith. The two would ignite such on-screen chemistry, they would go on to start together in the long running OWN Network series, For Better or Worse.Never Back Down 2: The Beatdown, in which he also starred. Based on the cult film Black Dynamite which White created and starred, he would go on to write and produce the hit animated television series bearing the same name. He would also win over audiences in a string of films, including Chain of Command, Chocolate City, Skin Trade, and Falcon Rising. He also guest starred in the recurring role of Ben Turner / Bronze Tiger on The CW hit series Arrow. He is currently directing and starring in Sony Pictures third install, Never Back Down 3: No Surrender, and will also reprise his role as Princeton in the upcoming Chocolate City 2.

As a martial artist, in 2013 Michael achieved his 8th black belt from mentor and legendary undefeated kick-boxing champion, Bill "Superfood" Wallace and was honored by Black Belt Magazine as their 2014 Man of the Year. Continuing the legacy of such greats as Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme, Michael is now the #1 martial arts action star in in America.

Michael Jai White resides in Los Angeles with his wife, actress Gillian White and their three daughters.

Bryce grew up going to his granddaddy’s farm where they would ride around together and listen to country music. Bryce couldn’t imagine life without his grandfather, who was diagnosed with lung cancer when Bryce was young but is still going strong to this day. Bryce is finishing up his final year at Georgia Southern University and is completing a degree in business in hopes of managing his music career. The college bar scene is where got experience on stage, and it’s also how he pays his bills. He currently has a show booked and has sold 225 tickets in under a week. As always, Premiere Networks, in conjunction with NBC, brings you interviews with the contestants and winners season after season! The Voice is one of America's most popular shows, airing Mondays and Tuesdays.

ABOUT THE VOICE The four-time Emmy Award-winning musical competition series "The Voice" has returned with the strongest vocalists from across the country invited to compete in the show's newest season. Multi-Grammy-nominated Cuban-born singer-songwriter and actress Camila Cabello claims her red chair alongside superstar returning coaches John Legend, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani. Carson Daly returns as host for Season 22. The show's innovative format features four stages of competition: Blind Auditions, Battle Rounds, Knockouts and Live Performance Shows. During the Blind Auditions, the decisions from the coaches are based solely on voice and not looks. The coaches hear the artists perform but they don't get to see them, thanks to rotating chairs. If a coach is impressed by the artist's voice, they push a button to select the artist for their team. At this point, the coach's chair will swivel so that they can face the artist they selected. If more than one coach pushes the button, the power then shifts to the artist to choose which coach they want to work with. If no one pushes their button, the artist is eliminated from the competition. In addition to performing in front of a fully vaccinated, limited-capacity live audience, the artists' family and friends are able to attend their Blind Auditions in person for the first time since Season 18! Also returning this season is the block, which adds another layer of coach competition during the Blind Auditions. The coach chairs each have an extra set of buttons with the other three coaches' names on them, which prevents a coach from adding a new artist to his or her team. The coaches can only use their block buttons on one artist for the entire first round of the competition. The blocked coach only discovers they are blocked if they press their button, and though their chair will still turn, their lane lights up with "BLOCKED." If the coach doesn't press their button, the block is still available for another audition. Once the teams are set, the battle is on. The coaches dedicate themselves to developing their team of artists, giving them advice and sharing the secrets of their success, along with help from their celebrity advisors. The coaches enlist music industry heavyweights to prepare their artists for the Battle Rounds. This season's Battle Advisors include Charlie Puth (Team Camila), Jazmine Sullivan (Team Legend), Jimmie Allen (Team Blake) and Sean Paul (Team Gwen). During the Battle Rounds, the coaches will pit two of their own team members against each other to sing the same song together. The artists are vying for their coach's confidence and decision to take them to the next round. After each vocal battle, the coach must choose which of his or her artists will advance to the next round of competition. Each coach will have one save and one steal in the Battle Rounds. The losing artist is available to be saved by their own coach, but with the steals still in play, the artist could potentially choose to go with a different coach, leading to even tougher decisions for the coaches and artists. Artists who won their battle, were saved by their own coach or were stolen by another coach will advance to the Knockouts. Season 22 will showcase a new format element during the Knockout Rounds. For the first time ever, this phase of the competition will include three-way knockouts. The stakes have never been higher for the coaches and their artists as they vie for the win. In the Knockouts, the artists will be paired against two other teammates, but this time, they will select their own songs to perform individually while their direct competitors watch and wait. The coaches will choose the winner, and the artists not selected will be available to be stolen by another coach. The pressure is on as each coach will only have one steal in the Knockouts. In lieu of enlisting a Mega Mentor, the coaches will work with their artists directly to prepare them as best as possible for this new challenge. Once the Live Performance Shows begin, the top artists will compete against each other weekly during a live broadcast. This time, the television audience will vote to save their favorite artists. The artists with the lowest number of votes will be eligible for the Instant Save and will each perform a new song to prove why they should continue in the competition. America will then have the opportunity to save their favorite performer by voting on The Voice Official App or NBC.com. Those with the lowest number of votes will be sent home. In the end, one artist will be named "The Voice" and will receive the grand prize of a recording contract. "The Voice" is a presentation of MGM Television, Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon and ITV Studios The Voice USA, Inc. The series was created by John de Mol, who serves as an executive producer along with Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Amanda Zucker, Kyra Thompson and Adam H. Sher.

ABOUT RAMONA REED

Ramona Reed is the daughter of Dean Reed who Red Elvis is about. Decades after her dad's mysterious disappearance she is she is determined to find out what really happened to him. Ramona is executive producer, narrator and advisor to the documentary film Red Elvis: The Coldwar Cowboy,, now streaming on Amazon Prime.

ABOUT THE FILM DEAN REED: THE COLDWAR COWBOY BY ELENA RINGO OF INDIE-CINEMA.COM

The film is a documentary dedicated to an American singer Dean Reed, who became a superstar in the Soviet Union and Eastern Germany. In a way he was much more than Elvis Presley. He was not only a singer, he was also a film director, a writer, an actor and a social activist. He was a rebel with a strong feeling of social injustice and was fighting the existing capitalist system of the Western World. American Rebel - it is written on his grave and he lived as a rebel.

The film was released in 2022 and was screened on British Sky TV and American documentary streamer Curiosity. The story of Dean Reed told by several people, including Dean's daughter Ramona Reed is touching and captivating. It is illustrated by numerous footage which show the actor in Latin America, in the USA, in Russia and Eastern Germany.

The life of Dean Reed reflects also the complexity of that time. For the first time he visited Russia in the sixties - time of hope and freedom. Dean Reed was a breath of fresh air in Soviet Union and Eastern Germany. He was singing revolutionary songs but at the same time he represented to Russian people the American dream; tall, artistic charismatic cowboy with a Hollywood smile. He was like a ray of sunshine coming through the iron curtain.

In the seventies Dean Reed often appeared on Soviet TV, and he was very popular. He toured the Soviet Union and crowds of people cheered him at stadiums. Women fell in love with him and men wanted to copy his haircut. For the Soviet Government Dean was a useful tool of propaganda - he was singing revolutionary songs and was a living proof that the West is on the brink of revolution.

But in the eighties his popularity started to decline. The leaders of communist regime were carefully preparing the perestroika - demolition of communism and privatization of manufacturers. They were preparing to benefit from the new order. Red Elvis was not needed for them anymore.

Russia little by little opened up to Western culture. When in the eighties I studied at university, we were listening to Joe Dassin, Boney M, ABBA, Frank Sinatra and other western music. Seldom to Dean Reed.

When Dean Reed died there was very little information in Soviet press concerning his death. He was supposed to have drowned, but this version obviously did not look credible, as he was an excellent swimmer and was found near the shore. Later it was suggested he committed suicide.

Ramona Reed, daughter of Dean Reed, raised in the film concern regarding her father's death. She did not believe in the official version of events. Other American relatives of Dean also did not believe in accidental death and neither in his suicide. And they have a reason because this tragic story has many missing links. Unfortunately, this horrible end was not investigated properly and even now, after many years, no more facts came out. As it turns out, secret services guard their secrets properly.

It is interesting that in 2007 a German film "Der Rote Elvis" was made. The creators of the German film interviewed several people, but not American relatives. Somehow the film wanted to leave the impression that Dean committed suicide. I personally do not believe in that because too many clues show that it was a murder. I personally do not believe Stasi or KGB could kill Dean Reed. It was the time when these secret services did not kill people like that and they were especially careful with foreign citizens. To spy on them? Yes. To murder? No. It just was not possible. And even if we suggested that secret services for some very important reasons wanted to eliminate Dean Reed they would not do it in a park just a mile away of his house in Eastern Berlin. It was not the style of secret services, that is for sure.

It was stupid and reckless to put a body so near the shore and so near his house. This botched murder was not a deed of professionals, but of a desperate person who hardly knew what he or she was doing. It looks like Dean did not die in the lake, where he was found in shallow water covered with stones. Probably the body was taken there by the murderer.

Dean Reed's car was found near the shore. It hit the tree.

I cannot imagine that Dean Reed himself hit a tree. He was a very good driver and he was not drunken. But the person who hit the tree was probably the killer, scared out of his wits and disoriented. Probably it was planned to drive further away and bury Dean in a place where he would not be discovered soon. But the accident stopped this plan and he was left very near the beach and covered with stones to prevent his body to come up.

The murder of a foreign national and especially a famous singer would be a huge international scandal. Suicide version or accident suited authorities better. So the killer or killers escaped from punishment.

I do not believe for a moment that such a clumsy murder could be work of any secret service or professional killers. But Stasi and other authorities did everything to cover it up. Death of Dean was announced an accident, then suggested it was a suicide. Even a suicide note was found in archive, but it does not look remotely authentic. The man who appreciated justice and was fighting for social justice did not get it at the very end.

Now that the capitalism won in Russia, the music of Dean Reed is not promoted there anymore, nor in Russia, nor in the USA, not in Germany. But despite this, his music is still listened by many and loved by many. Now the real ugly face of capitalism has hypocrisy, cruelty - everything what Dean hated and now position of Marxist Dean Reed becomes more and more understandable and current. Sometimes I like to listen Dean Reed singing "My Way". He put more special meaning into this song than any other singer because he really lived his life his own way, fought for truth and justice.

The film "Red Elvis: The Cold War Cowboy" is a loving tribute to a singer and a person, whose name should not be forgotten. His talent, his struggle for peace and social justice will be with us as a candle in the darkness of modern times and a bridge between two societies divided by a New Cold War.

'CHRISTMAS SONGS" OUT NOW ON LOMA VISTA RECORDINGS

FIRST SINGLE, "JINGLE BELL ROCK" OUT NOW

David Foster and Katharine McPhee have not recorded together in 17 years. What better excuse to get back into the studio than Christmas. The two will release their first Christmas album together this holiday season. Titled simply "Christmas Songs" the album unwrapped digitally on Black Friday, November 25th. (CD on December 2nd) The singles Jingle Bell Rock and Blue Christmas, are also available.

The 16 time legendary Grammy winning producer has produced some of the greatest Christmas music of all time with artists such as Michael Bublé, Celine Dion, Josh Groban, Andrea Bocelli, Rod Stewart and Mary J Blige. It's only fitting he now produces one with his wife, one of the greatest vocalists of today.

Says Foster about the recording, " We haven't recorded together in 17 years so we thought it might be time to do it again! Kat has the most beautiful voice and she doesn't know how to deliver less than a perfect vocal every time! When you make Christmas music, you literally get a free pass to do whatever you like-the freedom for me as a producer was so much fun - no pressure."

Chimes in McPhee, "I haven't been focusing on being a recording artist, but then I married the best record producer and the deal was sealed! We started this process out in our living room for fun and then it turned into a full-fledged, "let's do this for real." David's history with Christmas albums is legendary - it became a labor of love for him."

Look for David and Katharine on TV this holiday season in support of their new Christmas album, starting with their recent interviews on Entertainment Tonight and People Online.. 

The Fosters also plan a small 6 city east coast tour and will incorporate the new songs into the show. The tour starts December 1 in Stonybrook, NY and ends in Medford, MA on December 8. They will be back at the Wynn Hotel in Vegas on December 16 and 17.

Katharine also has the launch of her KMF Jewelry line launching week of November 7th. She also has TV appearance planned to promote the line.

Having produced albums that have sold over half a billion records globally, David Foster is one of the most successful commercial producers & composers of popular music. Having previously worked with artists like Natalie Cole, Amy Grant, & Michael Bublé, Josh Groban on their own Christmas albums, David is partnering up with his wife, singer-songwriter Katharine McPhee, to release their own rendition of their all time favorite Christmas tunes. A passion project, bringing joy & music to all these holidays.

In numerology, angel numbers are a repetitive sequence of digits that manifest to convey a divine message inviting you to elevate your energy with Sacred + Divine. Seeing a repeating number is as though your angels are pointing to you to deliver an important message and trying to get your attention and the numbers they send have meanings interpretable manifestations of the Sacred and Divine.

PEOPLE MAGAZINE STORY ON SAILOR BRINKLEY-COOK FROM 11/28/22

Sailor Brinkley-Cook Often Raids Mom Christie Brinkley's Closet: 'I Love Everything She Has'

"It's always those loopholes with moms, where you're like, 'You can't really be that angry. I'm your child,'" she says of borrowing her mom's clothes and not returning them'

Like mother, like daughter.

Sailor Brinkley-Cook loves to take a peek at what's inside her model mom's closet when she needs something new to wear. The 24-year-old tells PEOPLE that as she grows up, she's realizing more and more that her style is right in line with how her mom, supermodel Christie Brinkley, 68, dresses. In fact, some of the pieces she's swiped from her mom's closet are her most prized possessions.

"Both of us are pretty classic," she says. "We love a white t-shirt. We love a good pair of jeans. We love a trenchcoat, good sweater, a good pair of white sneakers, black boots."

Brinkley-Cook admits that before she found her current classic style, she tried to have an "edgy" vibe before realizing it just wasn't her. "What was I trying to do? I'm not edgy," she tells PEOPLE with a laugh. Instead, she finds comfort in classic pieces, like jeans and hoodies, but isn't shy about grabbing something new from her mom's wardrobe.

"Sometimes I'll ask to borrow something, and I'll be like, 'Oh my God, this is so cute,' and she'll tell me, 'Okay, but you have to give it back.' And then she forgets!" Brinkley-Cook says. She admits that she's held onto a few pieces due to that exact situation, and when she wears them again, her mom remembers where it came from.

"She'll remind me it's hers, and I just tell her she never asked for it back!" Brinkley-Cook tells PEOPLE. "It's always those loopholes with moms, where you're like, 'You can't really be that angry. I'm your child.'"

But some of the clothes Brinkley-Cook has gotten from her mom were actually gifted to her, because the Sacred + Divine creative director admits that she doesn't shop a lot, as it's not something she has the budget for.

When she moved back to the city recently to launch her brand, Brinkley-Cook says she asked her mom if she had any "little things" from her closet she might be able to have. "She gave me my grandmère's old trench coat and it's this stunning beige trench that's been in my family for 40, 50 years, so it's so cool to have that," she says, adding that she also inherited a navy Isaac Mizrahi jacket that she adores.

"Those are the pieces that mean the world to me because they've lived such a life with my mom and now they get to live such a life with me," Brinkley-Cook gushes. "She's definitely got those classic pieces, and I always love everything she has because we're both lovers of those iconic pieces."

Along with sharing her wardrobe, Brinkley has also shared words of wisdom with her daughter, especially as she got into the modeling scene - something Brinkley-Cook didn't necessarily see for herself. Afraid she would just be seen as a "nepotism baby," Brinkley-Cook was hesitant about trying her hand at modeling.

When Brinkley-Cook was just starting out, her mom would tell her that her own career meant that "doors are opened" for her, but she had to put in her own hard work to keep them open and make the most of it.

"I really did," Brinkley-Cook tells PEOPLE of working hard at modeling. "Every room that I walked into, I tried to be the most gracious. I tried to be the most kind. I really got to know everyone on set."

Brinkley told her daughter to absorb everything she could from each set she was on, reminding her that she's only one piece of the "massive machine" when it comes to a photo shoot.

"I tried to really learn as much as I could from the producers, the makeup artists, the hair people, the photographers, the casting directors," Brinkley-Cook shares. "Everyone that works in this industry is so smart and so talented. My mom reminded me that a model is just one part of it all."

DAILYMAIL.COM STORY ON SAILOR & SACRED+DIVINE FROM 11/22/22

Sailor Brinkley Cook is perhaps best known for following in the footsteps of her famous mother, supermodel Christie Brinkley, but the young model is also attempting to make a name for herself.

Sailor, 24, has launched a new company that sprang from her efforts to deal with anxiety, especially during the pandemic.

Speaking on Today with Hoda and Jenna Tuesday, the young entrepreneur described the impetus for her new company, Sacred + Divine.

'Over the pandemic, I was dealing with probably the worst parts of my anxiety and my therapist told me, "just put your phone down and be completely aware and observant of your surroundings," and I would do that and it created this mindful, very grounding moment for me throughout my day,' she said.

'I started seeing these numbers, these repetitive numbers and I started learning about them, like 111 and 333 and 222, are angel numbers.'

The new company sells not only jewelry, but scented candles and room sprays featuring numbers one through five and seven through nine.

Each repetitive number stands for a feeling or action such as 'manifestation,' 'change,' or 'abundance.'

Sailor explained, 'They really are these universal signs that give us a little bit of hope and I started seeing them everywhere, so it was like a beautiful moment for me of connection.'

'These candles and these necklaces are sort of bringing in those mindful, grounding moments into your everyday life.'

The Dancing with the Stars alum has been open about her struggles with mental health issues, including anxiety and body dysmorphia, explaining, 'I find that the more you speak about these scary things, the less scary they feel.'

'I know that everyone deals with something really hard in their life,' she continued, 'and we're all going through a secret struggle... I hope it will help someone else who deals with similar issues.'

When navigating new situations, the runway veteran often relies on her mom's advice. 'Her number one thing that she always told me to be was to be grateful and gracious.

'So, I really stuck to that and I made it a priority to every room I walked in to to be very grateful and really say hello to everyone and absorb the knowledge that everyone has to give.'

The cover model looked stunning in a sleeveless gold and black midi dress with a boat neck collar, gathered waist and tiered skirt.

Her long blonde locks were styled in loose waves and accessorized with large hoop earrings and one of her Sacred +Divine necklaces for the appearance.

She later donned a black trench coat as she left the NBC studios.

Sailor is ambassador and the creative director for a new lifestyle brand, Sacred + Divine, creating...
Each product at Sacred + Divine is crafted with intention and purpose. Divine intentions flow into the wax of the candles and are released, along with heavenly scents, with the light of the wick. Sacred, alchemical processes occur with the creation of our angel number jewelry, which is made by hand in Los Angeles with 14k recycled gold and responsibly sourced diamonds. Sacred + Divine Candles are made from food grade wax with a soy coconut blend. Through traditional extraction methods, like distillation, expression, and extraction, we obtain essential oils, isolates, absolutes and resins from plants and flowers that we then blend into our fragrances at high concentrations to bring you a sacred aromatherapeutic experience. Angel numbers work in accordance with numerology, which upholds the notion that each number is connected to a certain vibrational energy or frequency that holds meaning beyond its numeric value, making the spiritual tangible.

In numerology, angel numbers are a repetitive sequence of digits that manifest to convey a divine message inviting you to elevate your energy with Sacred + Divine. Seeing a repeating number is as though your angels are pointing to you to deliver an important message and trying to get your attention and the numbers they send have meanings interpretable manifestations of the Sacred and Divine.

Sailor is best known for advocating for people struggling with mental health, body dysmorphia and eating disorders.

PEOPLE MAGAZINE STORY ON SAILOR BRINKLEY-COOK FROM 11/28/22

Sailor Brinkley-Cook Often Raids Mom Christie Brinkley's Closet: 'I Love Everything She Has'

"It's always those loopholes with moms, where you're like, 'You can't really be that angry. I'm your child,'" she says of borrowing her mom's clothes and not returning them'

Like mother, like daughter.

Sailor Brinkley-Cook loves to take a peek at what's inside her model mom's closet when she needs something new to wear. The 24-year-old tells PEOPLE that as she grows up, she's realizing more and more that her style is right in line with how her mom, supermodel Christie Brinkley, 68, dresses. In fact, some of the pieces she's swiped from her mom's closet are her most prized possessions.

"Both of us are pretty classic," she says. "We love a white t-shirt. We love a good pair of jeans. We love a trenchcoat, good sweater, a good pair of white sneakers, black boots."

Brinkley-Cook admits that before she found her current classic style, she tried to have an "edgy" vibe before realizing it just wasn't her. "What was I trying to do? I'm not edgy," she tells PEOPLE with a laugh. Instead, she finds comfort in classic pieces, like jeans and hoodies, but isn't shy about grabbing something new from her mom's wardrobe.

Thank you for your time. ]]>632coalition,community,education,human,media,newsfalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/tiffany-and-her-new-album-shadows--52068053
Tiffany is back with the announcement of her first new record since 2018's Piece Of Me. Shadows, due November 25, 2022 via Deko Entertainment, is described as a cathartic comeback LP on which Tiffany bares her soul and invites listeners to walk with her into the light. Today, she shares the record's newest single, "I Like The Rain," of which she says: "'I Like The Rain' is about owning your own dysfunction and the people who benefit from it."

Speaking on her forthcoming LP, she continued: "Shadows is about the light and dark of my life, the heartbreak that nobody knows about, when you're trying to be fabulous onstage. My life has never been perfect. But maybe all those things are meant to be. And what helps me more than anything is writing songs."

Shadows includes 11 brand new songs, including the new single "I Like The Rain," as well as stand out tracks "My Everything," "Bed of Nails," and a rocking cover of the Rival Sons track "Keep On Swinging." It will be released in multiple formats, including Digital, CD, and Limited-Edition Pink and Black vinyl, with pop-up album artwork created by multidisciplinary British artist Stuart Semple. This is limited to 250 copies and comes with multiple Tiffany photo inserts, making this a one-of-a-kind collectible piece.

Stuart states, "It's been really exciting to be able to make some new art with Tiffany. Her music was a big part of my childhood. The new record is amazing and I'm so glad to have been able to come up with a visual way to bring it to life. It feels like the whole project is an artwork in it's own right."

The most fascinating artists have both darkness and light. No one understands that duality better than Tiffany. She's the former teen icon with the scars of a lifer. A multi-million-selling phenomenon whose outward success story belies bad romances and bum deals. A genre-blind singer/songwriter who writes starkly personal lyrics that make entire stadiums sing along.

As such, when it came to naming her new studio album, one title called out. "Shadows is about the light and dark of my life," says Tiffany. "The heartbreak that nobody knows about, when you're trying to be fabulous onstage. My life has never been perfect. But maybe all those things are meant to be. And what helps me more than anything is writing songs."

Tiffany's life can be measured in songs. Anyone with even a casual eye on pop culture will remember her breakout in the late-'80s, sparked by the transatlantic #1 smash, "I Think We're Alone Now."

But the fans who have made the journey with her since know that the best stuff came later, as the singer fought her way to the music she burned to record, from 1993's restorative Dreams Never Die, through the pulsing electro bangers of 2005's Dust Off And Dance, right up to 2018's highly acclaimed Pieces Of Me. "It's an album highlighting an artist at the top of their game," wrote Get Ready To Rock of the latter, "producing music from the heart."

"It's been a long journey to get back," reflects the singer. "There can be a lot of discouragement, naysayers, and obstacles. But you've got to keep on swinging. You've got to have a lion heart. For Shadows, I found the right people and that made me bold."

The songs that Tiffany brought to the Shadows sessions at Rockfield Studios - some rowdy and brittle, others tender and feather-soft - are a candid snapshot of her life as she steps into her fifth decade. But listen a little harder and you'll hear everything that has led her here, for better and worse.

Born in Norwalk, California, on October 2nd, 1971 - and carrying a tune from the age of two - Tiffany barely remembers her life before the stage. She was a pageant girl, then a dancer, before, aged nine, she sang at a friend's birthday party and the clocks stopped. "There I was, nine years old, and I sounded like a 30-year-old woman," she recalls. "Not being in the music industry, my parents had no idea how to begin, but we just started there."

Even in the Golden State, Tiffany's home life came with storm clouds. "My parents were lovely people, but there were issues with alcohol, a turmoil there," she says. "You'd hear the crying at night, the screaming, the rows, and wonder if you're even going to have a place to stay the next day."

Through the chaos, music was her lifeline. In the early-'80s, all over San Diego, from the fairgrounds of Del Mar to the country music circuit, Tiffany was a livewire presence, singing out her heart and soaking up the wisdom of the greats whose orbit she now moved in. "From artists like Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and George Jones, I learnt to live out loud," she reflects. "They woke up and that's who they were. They lived their life through music."

All the while, Tiffany was feeding the insatiable muse that is evident on Shadows. "I had an older cousin who was listening to AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Heart," she reflects. "I'd ask my best friend to buy my records at the music store when I was too embarrassed, because I had Barbra Streisand, Ozzy Osbourne, and James Taylor. I love Joni Mitchell. Joan Baez. Huge Bob Dylan fan. And with artists like Stevie Nicks and Deborah Harry, it wasn't just the music that inspired me, it was their strength. These are women who have made it through the good, the bad and the ugly."

The passing decades would see Tiffany suffering her own body blows, from the painful court case in which she fought her parents for control of her career to the relationships that rose and fell in the public eye. "Sometimes," she laughs darkly, "my girlfriends will make a joke and say, 'You just date the same person over and over again...'"

But while a lesser artist might retreat to lick their wounds, Tiffany always used her hard-won experience as rocket fuel. Driven by that unmistakable grit-and-honey voice, Shadows feels wrenched from the depths, from the defiant primal-scream rocker "Cried For The Last Time" to the bruised electro ballad "I'll Meet You Anywhere." "On this album, there's a pop base with rock edge," she considers. "There's a definite retro sound on songs like 'Shadows' and 'Lost Inside. 'They have that punky, '80s, Go-Gos, Blondie, Pat Benatar kinda feel with a more modern rock attitude. I want people to sing along."

Producer Mark Alberici and the first-call studio band ensured that Shadows roars from the speakers. But perhaps the record's greatest power comes from Tiffany's unflinching lyrics. "'I Like The Rain' is saying that I almost choose the chaos in my life," she says of the riff-driven groove, "while 'You're My Everything' was about having a big row with my boyfriend, but instead of the end of our relationship being ugly, I wanted it to be beautiful."
 
Elsewhere, smoky torch song "Bed Of Nails" was so heartfelt that Tiffany caught the vocal in a single late-night take. "It's quite a dark song and I just purged myself. I walked up to the mic and it was literally one pass, which is what you hear on the record. I'm writing about a relationship where two people aren't getting what they want out of it, yet they've sacrificed a lot to be there. At the time, my boyfriend and I were both divorcing other people. With a lot of these songs, I'm sharing my vulnerability with you."

All of our lives come with shadows. But with her latest studio album, Tiffany invites her fans to walk with her into the light. "These last few years, we've all been through a really hard time," she considers. "People have been through divorces, lost jobs, family members, friends. I know I have. You have to carry on, but there's a sadness and loneliness.

"That's where music comes in," she counters. "It bonds people. For me, it recharges my batteries, getting that validation, seeing those smiles, getting the fans to go on the next journey with me. Who knows where I'm going next? But I'm a lifer. There's no plan B. I think I'm doing my best material now. I know myself more - and I'm singing the best I ever have..."

Tiffany is back with the announcement of her first new record since 2018's Piece Of Me. Shadows, due November 25, 2022 via Deko Entertainment, is described as a cathartic comeback LP on which Tiffany bares her soul and invites listeners to walk with her into the light. Today, she shares the record's newest single, "I Like The Rain," of which she says: "'I Like The Rain' is about owning your own dysfunction and the people who benefit from it."

Speaking on her forthcoming LP, she continued: "Shadows is about the light and dark of my life, the heartbreak that nobody knows about, when you're trying to be fabulous onstage. My life has never been perfect. But maybe all those things are meant to be. And what helps me more than anything is writing songs."

Shadows includes 11 brand new songs, including the new single "I Like The Rain," as well as stand out tracks "My Everything," "Bed of Nails," and a rocking cover of the Rival Sons track "Keep On Swinging." It will be released in multiple formats, including Digital, CD, and Limited-Edition Pink and Black vinyl, with pop-up album artwork created by multidisciplinary British artist Stuart Semple. This is limited to 250 copies and comes with multiple Tiffany photo inserts, making this a one-of-a-kind collectible piece.

Stuart states, "It's been really exciting to be able to make some new art with Tiffany. Her music was a big part of my childhood. The new record is amazing and I'm so glad to have been able to come up with a visual way to bring it to life. It feels like the whole project is an artwork in it's own right."

The most fascinating artists have both darkness and light. No one understands that duality better than Tiffany. She's the former teen icon with the scars of a lifer. A multi-million-selling phenomenon whose outward success story belies bad romances and bum deals. A genre-blind singer/songwriter who writes starkly personal lyrics that make entire stadiums sing along.

As such, when it came to naming her new studio album, one title called out. "Shadows is about the light and dark of my life," says Tiffany. "The heartbreak that nobody knows about, when you're trying to be fabulous onstage. My life has never been perfect. But maybe all those things are meant to be. And what helps me more than anything is writing songs."

Tiffany's life can be measured in songs. Anyone with even a casual eye on pop culture will remember her breakout in the late-'80s, sparked by the transatlantic #1 smash, "I Think We're Alone Now."

But the fans who have made the journey with her since know that the best stuff came later, as the singer fought her way to the music she burned to record, from 1993's restorative Dreams Never Die, through the pulsing electro bangers of 2005's Dust Off And Dance, right up to 2018's highly acclaimed Pieces Of Me. "It's an album highlighting an artist at the top of their game," wrote Get Ready To Rock of the latter, "producing music from the heart."

"It's been a long journey to get back," reflects the singer. "There can be a lot of discouragement, naysayers, and obstacles. But you've got to keep on swinging. You've got to have a lion heart. For Shadows, I found the right people and that made me bold."

The songs that Tiffany brought to the Shadows sessions at Rockfield Studios - some rowdy and brittle, others tender and feather-soft - are a candid snapshot of her life as she steps into her fifth decade. But listen a little harder and you'll hear everything that has led her here, for better and worse.

Born in Norwalk, California, on October 2nd, 1971 - and carrying a tune from the age of two - Tiffany barely remembers her life before the stage. She was a pageant girl, then a dancer, before, aged nine, she sang at a friend's birthday party and the clocks stopped. "There I was, nine years old, and I sounded like a 30-year-old...]]>404album,artist,media,news,songwriterfalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/author-sarah-finniss-iris-magical-yoga-adventure--52060447

"My hope in reliving some of my favorite culinary experiences with you over the following pages is that not only will you learn to make some incredible dishes for friends and family, but you will also discover your own love of cooking. These stories, recipes, and tips became part of my DNA after spending a life in the kitchen." ─ Andy Murray, from the introduction of EAT, DRINK AND BE MURRAY

This fall, Dey Street Books is thrilled to publish EAT, DRINK AND BE MURRAY: A Feast of Family Fun and Favorites by Chef Andy Murray (On Sale: November 8, 2022 with a foreward by his brother Bill Murray).

The Murray family loves to gather-at holidays, on the golf course-and, most of all, around the table. Manning the kitchen is Andy, who began his culinary education at four years old when his mother, Lucille, taught him how to cook bacon- "There's one rule. You never leave the room when you're making bacon because as soon as you do, it will burn."

One of nine children, Andy's first job was at the age of eleven when he was hired to be a busboy at the corner restaurant. He quickly graduated to dishwasher then short-order cook before leaving the Midwest for New York for culinary training at the New York Restaurant School. Since then, he has worked in some of the biggest restaurants in the business and become known for his delicious and family-friendly meals with his popular Murray Bros. Caddyshack restaurants in St. Augustine, FL and Rosemont, IL.

In EAT, DRINK AND BE MURRAY, Andy invites readers to the Murray dinner table and shares a wide assortment of recipes including:

. Murray French Toast

. Chicken Hash

. Tempting Tomato Pie

. Caddyshack Golf Balls

. Andy's Chicken Vegetable Soup

. Grilled Pimento Cheese Sandwich

. Lucille's Fried Chicken . South Carolina Pappardelle

. Key Lime Pie

. Pineapple Upside Down Cake

. 19th Hole-signature drink at Murray Bros. Caddyshack

. Bloody Bull

Andy's approach to cooking is bolstered by the belief that the best part of any meal is the time you spend laughing at the table. The Murrays spend a lot of time laughing and food has always been their way of showing love, though a good cocktail doesn't hurt. Also in EAT, DRINK AND BE MURRAY, readers get to hear some of their incredible family stories-from learning about the food favorites of his siblings, cooking side by side with his mom, and behind the scenes looks at working in the kitchen of New York's biggest culinary institutions, to never-before-told stories of Bill's legendary pranks and the family's love of golf.

Full of gorgeous food photography, never-before-seen Murray family snapshots, a helpful list of kitchen must-haves, and hilarious family stories, this cookbook is like pulling a seat up at the Murray table: dig in!

ABOUT ANDY MURRAY

Andy Murray spent more than 25 years as a chef in high-end restaurants, including Mortimer's and Tribeca Grill. In June 2001 he opened the Murray Bros. Caddyshack restaurant in St. Augustine Florida, and April of 2018 in Chicago. He is the seventh of nine Murray children. He splits his time between St. Augustine Florida and the Chicago area.

From the New York Times bestselling author of MRS. KENNEDY AND ME and FIVE PRESIDENTS comes MY TRAVELS WITH MRS. KENNEDY by Clint Hill and Lisa McCubbin Hill (on-sale October 11, 2022; hardcover), a collection of never-before-told stories and more than 200 rare and never-before-published photographs documenting Secret Service Agent Clint Hill's travels with Jacqueline Kennedy throughout Europe, Asia, and South America.

A United States Secret Service Agent from 1958 to 1975, Clint Hill was assigned to First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy and was in the motorcade in Dallas on November 22, 1963, when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. For his courage and swift actions that day, Hill received the nation's highest civilian award for bravery.

Recently, while preparing to sell his home, Clint discovered an old steamer trunk in his garage containing forgotten photos, handwritten notes, personal gifts, and treasured mementos from the trips on which he accompanied Jackie Kennedy as her personal Secret Service agent. These trips took the pair through Paris, London, India, Pakistan, Greece, Morocco, Mexico, South America, and more, during which Jackie Kennedy became, according to Hill, "one of the best ambassadors the United States has ever had."

From the tender moments, the private laughs, the wild adventures, and the deep affection he shared with one of the world's most iconic women, Hill provides new insight into the intensely private figure he always called "Mrs. Kennedy" and who always called him "Mr. Hill." Hill also reveals startling details about how traveling helped them both heal during the excruciating and grief-filled weeks and months following the assassination of President Kennedy. He writes of the year he spent protecting Mrs. Kennedy after the assassination, a time in his life he has always been reluctant to speak about.

MY TRAVELS WITH MRS. KENNEDY unveils a personal side of history that has never been told before and takes the reader on a breathtaking journey, experiencing what it was like for Clint Hill to travel with Jacqueline Kennedy as the entire world was falling in love with her.

STORY ON TRAVELS WITH MRS. KENNEDY FROM PEOPLR MAGAZINE

PEOPLE Exclusive: Jackie Kennedy's Secret Service Agent Reveals Their 'Indescribable Bond' and His Most Personal Memories Yet

Former Secret Service agent Clint Hill shares never-before-told stories and rare photos of the first lady in his new memoir, My Travels with Mrs. Kennedy

He's a Secret Service agent who served under five presidents - Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and Ford - yet still to this day, one of the questions Clint Hill gets asked most often is: What was Jacqueline Kennedy really like?

As the first lady's dedicated Secret Service agent, Hill rarely left her side for four years. They shared an "almost indescribable bond," he says - a bond he explores in his new memoir, My Travels with Mrs. Kennedy, co-written with his wife, Lisa McCubbin Hill, and excerpted exclusively in this week's issue of PEOPLE. It's a sequel to their 2012 bestseller Mrs. Kennedy and Me, and his most personal book yet. The idea for the latest book came about three years ago, while he and Lisa were cleaning out his home in Alexandria, Virginia, to prepare it for sale. There, they discovered an old dusty steamer trunk which hadn't been opened for nearly 50 years.

Inside was a collection of photos, mementos and handwritten notes from his travels to Paris, Ravello, Pakistan, India, Venezuela, Morocco, Mexico and more with the woman he still calls "Mrs. Kennedy." The discovery brought back long ago memories - some magical, some very private, others very painful. A time capsule of his four years with the most famous woman in the world.

From the New York Times bestselling author of MRS. KENNEDY AND ME and FIVE PRESIDENTS comes MY TRAVELS WITH MRS. KENNEDY by Clint Hill and Lisa McCubbin Hill (on-sale October 11, 2022; hardcover), a collection of never-before-told stories and more than 200 rare and never-before-published photographs documenting Secret Service Agent Clint Hill's travels with Jacqueline Kennedy throughout Europe, Asia, and South America.

A United States Secret Service Agent from 1958 to 1975, Clint Hill was assigned to First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy and was in the motorcade in Dallas on November 22, 1963, when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. For his courage and swift actions that day, Hill received the nation's highest civilian award for bravery.

Recently, while preparing to sell his home, Clint discovered an old steamer trunk in his garage containing forgotten photos, handwritten notes, personal gifts, and treasured mementos from the trips on which he accompanied Jackie Kennedy as her personal Secret Service agent. These trips took the pair through Paris, London, India, Pakistan, Greece, Morocco, Mexico, South America, and more, during which Jackie Kennedy became, according to Hill, "one of the best ambassadors the United States has ever had."

From the tender moments, the private laughs, the wild adventures, and the deep affection he shared with one of the world's most iconic women, Hill provides new insight into the intensely private figure he always called "Mrs. Kennedy" and who always called him "Mr. Hill." Hill also reveals startling details about how traveling helped them both heal during the excruciating and grief-filled weeks and months following the assassination of President Kennedy. He writes of the year he spent protecting Mrs. Kennedy after the assassination, a time in his life he has always been reluctant to speak about.

MY TRAVELS WITH MRS. KENNEDY unveils a personal side of history that has never been told before and takes the reader on a breathtaking journey, experiencing what it was like for Clint Hill to travel with Jacqueline Kennedy as the entire world was falling in love with her.

The four-time Emmy Award-winning musical competition series "The Voice" has returned with the strongest vocalists from across the country invited to compete in the show's newest season.

Multi-Grammy-nominated Cuban-born singer-songwriter and actress Camila Cabello claims her red chair alongside superstar returning coaches John Legend, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani. Carson Daly returns as host for Season 22.

The show's innovative format features four stages of competition: Blind Auditions, Battle Rounds, Knockouts and Live Performance Shows.

During the Blind Auditions, the decisions from the coaches are based solely on voice and not looks. The coaches hear the artists perform but they don't get to see them, thanks to rotating chairs. If a coach is impressed by the artist's voice, they push a button to select the artist for their team. At this point, the coach's chair will swivel so that they can face the artist they selected. If more than one coach pushes the button, the power then shifts to the artist to choose which coach they want to work with. If no one pushes their button, the artist is eliminated from the competition. In addition to performing in front of a fully vaccinated, limited-capacity live audience, the artists' family and friends are able to attend their Blind Auditions in person for the first time since Season 18!

Also returning this season is the block, which adds another layer of coach competition during the Blind Auditions. The coach chairs each have an extra set of buttons with the other three coaches' names on them, which prevents a coach from adding a new artist to his or her team. The coaches can only use their block buttons on one artist for the entire first round of the competition. The blocked coach only discovers they are blocked if they press their button, and though their chair will still turn, their lane lights up with "BLOCKED." If the coach doesn't press their button, the block is still available for another audition.

Once the teams are set, the battle is on. The coaches dedicate themselves to developing their team of artists, giving them advice and sharing the secrets of their success, along with help from their celebrity advisors. The coaches enlist music industry heavyweights to prepare their artists for the Battle Rounds. This season's Battle Advisors include Charlie Puth (Team Camila), Jazmine Sullivan (Team Legend), Jimmie Allen (Team Blake) and Sean Paul (Team Gwen).

During the Battle Rounds, the coaches will pit two of their own team members against each other to sing the same song together. The artists are vying for their coach's confidence and decision to take them to the next round.

After each vocal battle, the coach must choose which of his or her artists will advance to the next round of competition. Each coach will have one save and one steal in the Battle Rounds. The losing artist is available to be saved by their own coach, but with the steals still in play, the artist could potentially choose to go with a different coach, leading to even tougher decisions for the coaches and artists. Artists who won their battle, were saved by their own coach or were stolen by another coach will advance to the Knockouts.

Season 22 will showcase a new format element during the Knockout Rounds. For the first time ever, this phase of the competition will include three-way knockouts. The stakes have never been higher for the coaches and their artists as they vie for the win. In the Knockouts, the artists will be paired against two other teammates, but this time, they will select their own songs to perform individually while their direct competitors watch and wait. The coaches will choose the winner, and the artists not selected will be available to be stolen by another coach. The pressure is on as each coach will only have one steal in the Knockouts. In lieu of enlisting a Mega Mentor, the coaches will work with their artists directly to prepare them as best as possible for this new challenge.

Once the Live Performance Shows begin, the top artists will compete against each other weekly during a live broadcast. This time, the television audience will vote to save their favorite artists. The artists with the lowest number of votes will be eligible for the Instant Save and will each perform a new song to prove why they should continue in the competition. America will then have the opportunity to save their favorite performer by voting on The Voice Official App or NBC.com. Those with the lowest number of votes will be sent home. In the end, one artist will be named "The Voice" and will receive the grand prize of a recording contract.

"The Voice" is a presentation of MGM Television, Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon and ITV Studios The Voice USA, Inc. The series was created by John de Mol, who serves as an executive producer along with Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Amanda Zucker, Kyra Thompson and Adam H. Sher.

DEVIX

Team Camila

Devix has loved music and the science of sound since he was a toddler. Growing up was tough, as his mother raised a family of 5 children alone, all while battling cerebral palsy in a wheelchair. With both of his brothers being musically gifted, Devix learned to sing, play guitar, drums, piano, bass, and other instruments. He has built a career with the desire to connect and spread love to the world as well as give back to his supportive family and friends. For the last decade, Devix has traveled to perform along the East Coast. His stage name, Devix, comes from a character he created in his hobby of designing and playing video games. He's taken on this identity ever since his first open mic performance in his local music scene of York.

Hailing all the way from Sofia, Bulgaria, Destiny moved to the United States when she was a year old. Destiny's mother was born and raised in Bulgaria, while her father is African-American. As an immigrant, Destiny's mom went through plenty of hardships in the early years of her arrival. Destiny remembers living in homeless shelters and friends' houses. There was a constant struggle with finances, but her mom got the family back on their feet. Music was always Destiny's safe haven. She performed everywhere she could at school and local theaters, all while maintaining a 4.0 GPA throughout middle and high school. She was accepted to Berklee College of Music and recently finished her freshman year where she performed as a lead in "The Beyoncé Ensemble," a tribute show to Beyoncé and Black excellence.

ABOUT THE VOICE

The four-time Emmy Award-winning musical competition series "The Voice" has returned with the strongest vocalists from across the country invited to compete in the show's newest season.

. Multi-Grammy-nominated Cuban-born singer-songwriter and actress Camila Cabello claims her red chair alongside superstar returning coaches John Legend, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani. Carson Daly returns as host for Season 22.

The show's innovative format features four stages of competition: Blind Auditions, Battle Rounds, Knockouts and Live Performance Shows.

During the Blind Auditions, the decisions from the coaches are based solely on voice and not looks. The coaches hear the artists perform but they don't get to see them, thanks to rotating chairs. If a coach is impressed by the artist's voice, they push a button to select the artist for their team. At this point, the coach's chair will swivel so that they can face the artist they selected. If more than one coach pushes the button, the power then shifts to the artist to choose which coach they want to work with. If no one pushes their button, the artist is eliminated from the competition. In addition to performing in front of a fully vaccinated, limited-capacity live audience, the artists' family and friends are able to attend their Blind Auditions in person for the first time since Season 18!

Also returning this season is the block, which adds another layer of coach competition during the Blind Auditions. The coach chairs each have an extra set of buttons with the other three coaches' names on them, which prevents a coach from adding a new artist to his or her team. The coaches can only use their block buttons on one artist for the entire first round of the competition. The blocked coach only discovers they are blocked if they press their button, and though their chair will still turn, their lane lights up with "BLOCKED." If the coach doesn't press their button, the block is still available for another audition.

Once the teams are set, the battle is on. The coaches dedicate themselves to developing their team of artists, giving them advice and sharing the secrets of their success, along with help from their celebrity advisors. The coaches enlist music industry heavyweights to prepare their artists for the Battle Rounds. This season's Battle Advisors include Charlie Puth (Team Camila), Jazmine Sullivan (Team Legend), Jimmie Allen (Team Blake) and Sean Paul (Team Gwen).

During the Battle Rounds, the coaches will pit two of their own team members against each other to sing the same song together. The artists are vying for their coach's confidence and decision to take them to the next round.

After each vocal battle, the coach must choose which of his or her artists will advance to the next round of competition. Each coach will have one save and one steal in the Battle Rounds. The losing artist is available to be saved by their own coach, but with the steals still in play, the artist could potentially choose to go with a different coach, leading to even tougher decisions for the coaches and artists. Artists who won their battle, were saved by their own coach or were stolen by another coach will advance to the Knockouts.

Season 22 will showcase a new format element during the Knockout Rounds. For the first time ever, this phase of the competition will include three-way knockouts. The stakes have never been higher for the coaches and their artists as they vie for the win. In the Knockouts, the artists will be paired against two other teammates, but this time, they will select their own songs to perform individually while their direct competitors watch and wait. The coaches will choose the winner, and the artists not selected will be available to be stolen by another coach. The pressure is on as each coach will only have one steal in the Knockouts. In lieu of enlisting a Mega Mentor, the coaches will work with their artists directly to prepare them as best as possible for this new challenge.

Once the Live Performance Shows begin, the top artists will compete against each other weekly during a live broadcast. This time, the television audience will vote to save their favorite artists. The artists with the lowest number of votes will be eligible for the Instant Save and will each perform a new song to prove why they should continue in the competition. America will then have the opportunity to save their favorite performer by voting on The Voice Official App or NBC.com. Those with the lowest number of votes will be sent home. In the end, one artist will be named "The Voice" and will receive the grand prize of a recording contract.

"The Voice" is a presentation of MGM Television, Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon and ITV Studios The Voice USA, Inc. The series was created by John de Mol, who serves as an executive producer along with Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Amanda Zucker, Kyra Thompson and Adam H. Sher.

Dean Cain was born July 31, 1966 and is known for his role as Clark Kent/Superman in the television series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.

Immediately after graduating, Cain signed on as a free agent with the Buffalo Bills, an NFL football team, but a knee injury during training camp ended his football career before it began. With little hope of returning to sports, he turned to screenwriting and then acting, shooting dozens of commercials and appearing on popular television shows like Grapevine, A Different World and Beverly Hills 90210. In 1993, Cain took on his biggest role to date as Superman in the television series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, which ran until 1997.

In 1998, Cain started the Angry Dragon Entertainment production company, which produced the TBS Superstation television series Ripley's Believe It or Not!. He has also starred in several films, including The Broken Hearts Club (2000), Out of Time (2003) and Bailey's Billions (2004). In 2004, he portrayed Scott Peterson in the fact-based made for television movie The Perfect Husband: The Laci Peterson Story. He has also appeared in a recurring role as Casey Manning in the television series Las Vegas. Cain guest-starred in a seventh season episode of Smallville as the immortal Dr. Curtis Knox. He's #33 on VH1s 40 Hottest Hotties of the 90s. Cain has also made an appearance in the comical Internet Explorer 8 commercials.

ABOUT PAUL'S PROMISE, IN THEATERS OCTOBER 21st

Damascus Road Productions, Uptone Pictures, and SaltShaker Media announce the upcoming theatrical release of "Paul's Promise". The inspiring biopic of hope, faith and racial reconciliation is slated to open in 200+ markets on Oct. 21 through Integrity Releasing with Home Entertainment release to launch on Dec. 6. The film stars Linda Purl, Nancy Stafford, Ryan O'Quinn, Shari Rigby, Josef Cannon and Dean Cain.

"Paul's Promise" is the debut project to be released under the newly-announced Damascus Road multi-picture pact with film executive, producer and financier Mike Ilitch, Jr., who has committed to a slate of films, many already in the production and distribution process, with a broad forthcoming slate to also soon be announced.

"Inspiring audiences through entertainment has always been a goal for our companies," said Ilitch. "This true story of one man's journey of transformation that impacted generations fits perfectly with our brand and the stories we are sharing with the world."

Hollywood veterans Ryan O'Quinn and Heather O'Quinn of Damascus Road Productions and Uptone Pictures' Michael Davis lead the charge in producing "Paul's Promise," a powerful and timely biopic about the former racist firefighter-turned-pastor in the height of the 1960s Civil Rights movement. Nick Logan and Ty Nsekhe also serve as executive producers.

"It is truly a highlight of my career to bring this story to the big screen," says O'Quinn. "One man's decision to serve God and stand up to injustice continues to make a huge impact on his community to this day."

The film chronicles Paul Holderfield, Sr.'s life, who was raised poor and knew what it was like to go to bed hungry and hear his mother pray at night for food for her children.

In the 1950's, during the Little Rock Central High School crisis, Holderfield was a North Little Rock fireman and remembers turning his back on a Black man, hoping he would not recognize him, but he did. His childhood best friend Jimmy Lipkin approached Paul for a handshake, but Holderfield put his hands in his back pockets and refused to shake Lipkin's hand.

Later convicted by his actions, Holderfield told his wife Barbara that he would never again treat a human being that way. Ultimately, Holderfield started Friendly Chapel and F.L.A.M.E. (Feeding and Loving All Men Equally) to help others and spent the rest of his life giving back to anyone in need. As he put it: "We came into the neighborhood when they did not want us and stayed until they could not do without us."

Fully dedicated to meeting people's needs, Holderfield built an organization that has been serving others for 30+ years, meeting the nutritional (through a soup kitchen/food pantry) emotional, physical (clothing, shelter), spiritual and health needs of others 24/7, 365 days a year.

"'Paul's Promise' shares the hope and healing of Holderfield's life during a troubled time in our Nation's history," says Executive Producer Nick Logan. "His life's work continues to this day through his family and his son, Paul Holderfield, Jr."

Damascus Road Productions, Uptone Pictures and SaltShaker Media are entertainment and media production companies dedicated to producing and distributing high-quality content across all platforms.

ABOUT NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE, STREAMING OCTOBER 6th ON PUREFLIX



Pure Flix and Pinnacle Peak Pictures are proud to present the original film "Nothing is Impossible," an inspirational movie about second chances and how past failures don't define our futures.



The Pure Flix Original will stream exclusively on the faith and family-friendly streaming service on October 6, 2022.



"Nothing is Impossible" stars David A.R. White ("God's Not Dead" franchise, "Revelation Road,"); Nadia Bjorlin ("Days of Our Lives);" Harry Lennix ("The Blacklist;) " Robert Amaya, ("War Room) ; Steven Bauer ("Scarface;)" country recording artist Stella Parton; Mark Christopher Lawrence, ("Family Camp;") Vincent De Paul ("Love on the Rock;") former NBA player Marcus Haislip and Leanne Crawford. It was directed by Matt Shapira, ("Love on the Rock," and "Finding Love in Quarantine.").



"Nothing is Impossible" is an inspiring movie where you take a center-court seat to a journey of transformation as Scott Beck gets a second chance at life and love. Can he let go of past pains and open himself to God's purpose? Or will new challenges keep him from the future he always hoped for?



"Everyone has a past and Scott Beck is no exception," said actor, producer and Pure Flix co-founder David A.R. White, who plays Scott in the film. "This is an inspiring movie about how our past doesn't define us and how we can learn from failure in a profound way. That goes for life and love - we see Scott confront past mistakes with his high school girlfriend, Ryan. This may be a movie with basketball in it, but it's also about love, learning how to trust again and about finding purpose in failure."



"Nothing is Impossible" is one of 10 original movies and series debuting on Pure Flix in 2022. There are another 15 originals expected to be released in 2023 making Pure Flix the destination for family-friendly entertainment.

It's really wonderful to see."

ARTICLE FROM VULTURE.COM ON SCOTT ADKINS

Familiarity is more of a feature than a bug for Netflix, so it's not surprising that Day Shift, which topped the streaming service's charts after its August 12 release, is a lot like other movies you might have already seen. It's about a Black vampire hunter named Bud Jablonski (Jamie Foxx) who's human, but his gruffness and gifts for hand-to-hand conflict mean he comes across as Blade's down-on-his-luck SoCal cousin. Bud has a complicated history with the vampire-hunters union, the headquarters of which is a strip-mall answer to the hotel in the John Wicks, with its rules, bureaucracy, and fondness for retro technology. The antagonist he faces down, Audrey (Karla Souza), is overseeing a luxury development in the San Fernando Valley, bent on vampire rule via gentrification - a plan shared by the undead villains in Netflix's own 2020 Vampires vs. the Bronx. But there is an element that distinguishes Day Shift from any offering of the week, which is that it features a few genuinely pleasurable fight sequences. Some feature contortionists in ghoulish makeup who bend their limbs in eye-watering ways. The best involve Scott Adkins, a Birmingham-born martial artist and actor whose presence in Day Shift serves as an action shibboleth, a nod to the fact that first-time director J.J. Perry is a working stunt coordinator himself.

Adkins is not famous, not in the way that his scene partner Steve Howey might be considered to be after long stints on Reba and Shameless. His most visible role to date is one most people didn't even know he played, taking over for Ryan Reynolds in the final act of X-Men Origins: Wolverine to play a not-quite-Deadpool with prosthetics over his face to make it look like his mouth was sewn shut. But he and Howey, cast as renowned vampire-hunting Armenian brothers who disguise themselves as stereo repairmen, roll up in Day Shift in the kind of entrance that suggests the audience is familiar with the actors being introduced. And a certain kind of geek absolutely will be. While Adkins has been inching toward the mainstream - he'll play a role in the upcoming John Wick: Chapter 4 - the fandom he's built up so far has come from his work in Asia and a slew of effective, bruising features that have mostly bypassed theaters. He's a deity of the direct-to-video realm, proving again and again that you don't need big budgets or a few hundred overworked VFX artists at your beck and call when you're capable of providing the spectacle yourself.

Adkins isn't a bad actor, though it's his astonishing physical prowess that sets him apart. In 2006'sUndisputed 2: Last Man Standing, he does a somersaulting kick into a flying roundhouse, flat-out video-game sh*t that director Isaac Florentine captures in full and in slow motion so you can appreciate that it's being done in real life. Adkins is best at rough-and-tumble antiheroes and charismatic villains - he's incapable of playing a character who has not at some point in his life snapped someone's arm in two. He was the antagonist in Undisputed 2, his breakthrough, a sequel to the 2002 Wesley Snipes boxing movie that featured none of the original cast and that was improbably great anyway. Michael Jai White was the star, but Adkins stole the show, and subsequent sequels followed his character, a sadistic MMA specialist named Yuri Boyka whose dominance in the prison's underground fight scene has secured him a measure of status behind bars, on a bloody quest for redemption and meaning.

Adkins has made eight movies with Florentine and seven with another direct-to-video martial-arts specialist - Jesse V. Johnson, a fellow Brit whose collaborations with Adkins have a low-rent bluntness that's impossible to dislike. Johnson cast Adkins as a down-on-his-luck dojo owner who takes on a job enforcing loans for a mob boss in 2018's The Debt Collector, an excuse for a half-dozen comedic skirmishes with bodyguards and one good enough to fuel a sequel two years later. But it's the 2019 Avengement (a real word, even if it doesn't sound like one) that's Johnson's magnum opus, with Adkins playing a character out for revenge against the gangster brother who betrayed him, weathering countless prison beatings in flashbacks that seem to just burnish his brutal patina. Johnson, like J.J. Perry, has a background in stunt work, a career path that isn't new but that's led to some of the more satisfying action set pieces in recent years - and not just in the direct-to-video market.

Perry did stunts on the first two John Wick films, which came from stuntmen turned bigshot Hollywood filmmakers David Leitch and Chad Stahelski. Netflix's previous gritty action hit Extraction was the directorial debut of stunt coordinator Sam Hargrave, who in addition to Marvel movies worked on Leitch's Atomic Blonde and the aforementioned, misbegotten X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Stunt work is obviously a small world, but there's a reliable tangibility to the fight scenes in these movies that's often missing in bigger blockbusters, where everything has become possible and very little of it looks real. In Day Shift, Adkins and Howey join Jamie Foxx and Dave Franco to invade a suburban house that turns out to be home to a vampire hive. While Foxx shoots up bloodsuckers exploding out of the drywall, Adkins stakes vamps in the kitchen, beheads them with a sword, and fences with a bendy lady who wields knives with her feet. Then, in a move that is pure, joyous excess, he reveals blades hidden in his boots and does a twirling kick through the air for no other reason than that it looks cool. It turns out, there's still value to that - to not just being an actor who trains enough to be able to navigate fight scenes with the help of doubles and camera angles, but to be a performer who's able to do something that seems impossible, and who can also act.

The fully authorized and official biography of legendary Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, one of the world's most revered and celebrated musicians of the last half century. British journalist Paul Sexton-who has covered the band for more than thirty years-has been authorized to write Watts' biography by his family, who have maintained a low-profile dignity both before and since the drummer's death. The welcome result is CHARLIE'S GOOD TONIGHT: The Life, the Times, and the Rolling Stones: The Authorized Biography of Charlie Watts (Harper; October 11, 2022; $27.99), a frank, affectionate portrait of an iconic musician and singular man. The book also has the approval of the Rolling Stones themselves, with forewords by both Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

"Watts was the proof that not all rock stars are created equal, and that clichés are there to be avoided. Such as the one that, in his mind, he was a rock star at all," Sexton writes. "He was the global celebrity who hated attention and once said that he preferred the company of dogs to humans; the car enthusiast who didn't drive; the horseman who didn't ride; the man of wealth and taste who grew up in a prefab; the drummer who toured the world for five and a half decades and spent all of them yearning to be home. The jobbing musician who thought the Stones would be finished in a year and ended up as their pilot light with a whole-life tariff. If you made him up, you would find few believers."

Drawing on exclusive interviews with bandmates and fellow musicians, with family and myriad friends from childhood through his late life, Sexton gives the full measure of the man. From working class beginnings during World War II to the Swinging Sixties when he was recruited for the Stones months after their formation, through the celebrity and debauchery of the 1970s and 80s, weathering band bust-ups and battles with personal demons, Watts remained remarkably even keeled. With roots in jazz, he openly admitted that the Rolling Stones' music was not really his cup of tea, but faithfully kept the steady beat of the band for almost sixty years.

While it offers new glimpses behind the scenes, CHARLIE'S GOOD TONIGHT is not a retread of the legend that is the greatest rock 'n roll band in history, says Sexton. It is a portrayal of the life and times of a "someone whose like we won't see again, who almost seemed to belong in another epoch altogether: a man out of time, but always perfectly in time.

The biography not only draws extensively on Sexton's huge archive with the Stones, but contains countless fresh interviews, including new reflections by Jagger, Richards and Ronnie Wood; Watts' daughter Seraphina, sister Linda and granddaughter Charlotte; former bandmate Bill Wyman; engineer and confidant Glyn Johns; and many more.

Today, Tara is NBC's prime time figure skating TV Analyst, covering events like the World Figure Skating Championships, the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series, the U.S. Figure Skating National Championships and the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. After her huge success at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, with NBC Sports, she was promoted to the NBC prime time team for the 2018 Olympic Games in South Korea. Aside from figure skating, NBC has enlisted Tara for its live event coverage of the Kentucky Derby, Super Bowl XLIX and 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Previous to her role at NBC, Tara attended Olympic Games where she worked with many of the world's top media outlets and partnered with sponsors, further burnishing her global stature as an iconic Olympian of accomplishment and inspiration.

The strength of character, determination, expertise and Tara's infectious joie de vivre that has become her enduring brand can be seen in the golden moments of her winning Olympic performance, yet were instilled at an early age. It all began when as a three-year-old in Sewell, New Jersey, she started roller skating, and went on at age nine to win the primary girls freestyle title at United States Roller Skating Championships.

At 13 years old, Lipinski went on to become the first female skater to land a triple loop/triple loop jump combination - a signature element of her performances. On reaching the amateur pinnacle of her sport with her Olympic achievements, Tara turned professional and proved her public appeal has a strong audience draw on such events as Stars on Ice, Champions on Ice and Ice Wars. She co-headlined with Scott Hamilton and Kristi Yamaguchi on the Stars on Ice tour and starred in the Pro Team competition Ice Wars that aired on CBS prime time.

A deal with CBS Television resulted in her own primetime special, Tara Lipinski: From This Moment On, and led to dozens of cameo TV appearances and acting roles on such primetime series as Kidding, Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, Malcolm in the Middle, Veronica's Closet, 7th Heaven, and The Young and the Restless, among others.

Tara also authored two bestselling books entitled Triumph on Ice and Totally Tara.

Lipinski currently divides her time between Los Angeles and New York as well as the house she helped design on the South Carolina coast when she has time to get away from her busy career.


ABOUT HER NEW SHOW WEDDING TALK, PREMIERING OCTOBER 13th

CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL ENTERTAINMENT PUTS A RING ON THE ORIGINAL SERIES WEDDING TALK PREMIERING OCTOBER 13th

Dive into all things weddings with hosts Olympic gold medalist and commentator Tara Lipinski, event planner Jose Rolen and wedding designer Jove Meyer

Premieres exclusively on the Chicken Soup for the Soul and Crackle free streaming apps

Crackle Plus, a Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment (Nasdaq: CSSE) company and one of the largest operators of advertising-supported video on demand (AVOD) streaming services, today announced the original series, Wedding Talk, starring hosts Tara Lipinski, Jose Rolon and Jove Meyer will debut October 13. Wedding Talk will be available exclusively on the Chicken Soup for the Soul and Crackle ad-supported streaming apps, as well as Chicken Soup for the Soul's free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel.

Olympic Gold Medalist and Olympic commentator Tara Lipinski pivots from sports to fashion as she discusses all things nuptials with wedding planner Jose Rolon (New York's famous Jose Rolon Events) and leading wedding designer Jove Meyer (named Top Planner by Harper's Bazaar, Brides, and The Knot) during each 30-minute episode of Wedding Talk.

The 10-episode series is a deep dive into stunning wedding footage gathered from Love Stories TV. The three hosts dish on the destinations, decor and - of course - the dresses, as well as every other element that makes these events momentous. This expert trio isn't about dragging the newlyweds down the aisle; instead, Wedding Talk is a celebration of every ceremony, a discussion of what's hot and what's not in the wedding industry today, and inspirational ideas for viewers to create their own dream day if they just open their minds to the possibilities.

The series is executive produced by Jess Loren, Erick Geisler and Matt Hanna for production company To Whom It May Concern LLC, and executive produced by Michael Winter and David Ellender for Chicken Soup for the Soul Television Group and Rachel Silver of Love Stories TV.

"Our viewers are going to fall in love with the romance and emotion of the spectacular weddings featured in Wedding Talk," said Jeff Meier, head of programming for Crackle Plus. "We know the world of weddings is an audience favorite, and we're excited to introduce viewers to a series that lets them dive in and immerse themselves in these beautiful events with Wedding Talk."

"We are so excited to launch this series on Crackle and Chicken Soup for the Soul, which we feel is a perfect fit for the show," said Rachel Silver, founder and chief executive officer of Love Stories TV. "The diversity of their audience, as well as a passionate love for wedding content, reflects the variety and inclusiveness of the series and, like the couples we feature, will make for a perfect match!"

"We wanted to approach the wedding space in a very untraditional way," said Jess Loren, executive producer and founder of To Whom It May Concern. "Taking cues from the world of EDM, we created a clubby studio vibe with moody floral graphics, and metallic and neon accents on our new LED volume wall. Epic wedding films deserve an epic delivery on the production world's latest and greatest LED technology."

He was regularly told by those around him that he was lazy, undisciplined, and useless. Constantly ill as a child and teenager, doctors labeled him as a hypochondriac as he got sicker and sicker over the years. Sent to psychologists instead of diagnostic testing, he was told he was a waste of life constantly by many of those around him. Despite this, David stayed respectful to his elders, but never accepted the lies he was being told about himself.

Once he turned 18, he demanded medical tests and two weeks before his high school graduation, they revealed he had a tumor in his head the size of an orange that was slowly killing him. After two major surgeries, intense radiation therapy, and months stuck at home, David was dying at 19 years old. Even though doctors gave him little hope of survival, David chose to try a holistic approach to healing over more surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy. He not only survived, but thrived physically.

The story continues with this young man, who thought he was intellectually a step above Forrest Gump and a functional idiot, finishing college, getting married, thriving in business, and raising a beautiful family. Only to get critically ill again and suffer for 5 years in intense pain after a simple dental visit goes horribly wrong.

Told by multiple physicians to get his affairs in order and prepare for death, David refused to accept this path. Becoming his own medical advisor, David did basically everything opposite of what the doctors told him. He did his best in life each day to heal, but learned to trust God for the results. This phase of his journey brought him into wellness and strength. He got off all of the antidepressants and painkillers the doctors tried to medicate his symptoms with, and once again began to thrive physically.

In 2014 his personal life took a drastic turn when his wife of 14 years derailed and their marriage turned into a long, terrible episode of the Jerry Springer show mixed with the Twilight Zone and the Good Son movie. It was a real-life nightmare.

Fighting to save his marriage, protect his children, and not die from the stress, David spent 6 hard years trying to “fix things” before he learned to accept the reality of what he was facing, make the tough decisions, and move on with life. So he and his children could not only heal from the trauma and PTSD of the hand they were dealt, but fully heal, thrive, and live with joy once again.

David’s life has been full of intense challenges in every area: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, familial, relational, social, and financial. Through this all he has learned that despite our circumstances and personal perspective, God is there for us, loves us, has a bigger plan than we can imagine. And most importantly, if we don’t quit and stay steadfast on our course, we’ll always win and benefit from even the most hideous experiences and hardships.

So while David Pasqualone may have started out life confused, scared, and feeling alone, he now lives life with a passionate purpose, complete confidence, and is surrounded by those he loves. Each day David’s mission is to help people know God, be encouraged into action, find their purpose, live it passionately, and fulfill it steadfastly until their race is over. And with God, nothing is impossible; we cannot fail!

Thank you for your time. ]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/51500039Fri, 07 Oct 2022 15:41:56 +0000I Am Refocused RadioRaised by a single mother in the late 1970’s after being abandoned by his father at birth, David lived in a dilapidated house with 6’ high ceilings that leaked when it rained for the first 20 years of his life. Scarred from watching his grandmother...
He was regularly told by those around him that he was lazy, undisciplined, and useless. Constantly ill as a child and teenager, doctors labeled him as a hypochondriac as he got sicker and sicker over the years. Sent to psychologists instead of diagnostic testing, he was told he was a waste of life constantly by many of those around him. Despite this, David stayed respectful to his elders, but never accepted the lies he was being told about himself.

Once he turned 18, he demanded medical tests and two weeks before his high school graduation, they revealed he had a tumor in his head the size of an orange that was slowly killing him. After two major surgeries, intense radiation therapy, and months stuck at home, David was dying at 19 years old. Even though doctors gave him little hope of survival, David chose to try a holistic approach to healing over more surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy. He not only survived, but thrived physically.

The story continues with this young man, who thought he was intellectually a step above Forrest Gump and a functional idiot, finishing college, getting married, thriving in business, and raising a beautiful family. Only to get critically ill again and suffer for 5 years in intense pain after a simple dental visit goes horribly wrong.

Told by multiple physicians to get his affairs in order and prepare for death, David refused to accept this path. Becoming his own medical advisor, David did basically everything opposite of what the doctors told him. He did his best in life each day to heal, but learned to trust God for the results. This phase of his journey brought him into wellness and strength. He got off all of the antidepressants and painkillers the doctors tried to medicate his symptoms with, and once again began to thrive physically.

In 2014 his personal life took a drastic turn when his wife of 14 years derailed and their marriage turned into a long, terrible episode of the Jerry Springer show mixed with the Twilight Zone and the Good Son movie. It was a real-life nightmare.

Fighting to save his marriage, protect his children, and not die from the stress, David spent 6 hard years trying to “fix things” before he learned to accept the reality of what he was facing, make the tough decisions, and move on with life. So he and his children could not only heal from the trauma and PTSD of the hand they were dealt, but fully heal, thrive, and live with joy once again.

David’s life has been full of intense challenges in every area: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, familial, relational, social, and financial. Through this all he has learned that despite our circumstances and personal perspective, God is there for us, loves us, has a bigger plan than we can imagine. And most importantly, if we don’t quit and stay steadfast on our course, we’ll always win and benefit from even the most hideous experiences and hardships.

So while David Pasqualone may have started out life confused, scared, and feeling alone, he now lives life with a passionate purpose, complete confidence, and is surrounded by those he loves. Each day David’s mission is to help people know God, be encouraged into action, find their purpose, live it passionately, and fulfill it steadfastly until their race is over. And with God, nothing is impossible; we cannot fail!...]]>2073brand,business,community,faith,growth,marketing,motivationfalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/tamera-mowry-housley-author-of-memoir-you-should-sit-down-for-this-a-memoir-about-life-wine-cookies--51489801
Early in her debut memoir, YOU SHOULD SIT DOWN FOR THIS: A Memoir about Life, Wine, + Cookies (Legacy Lit, 10/4/22), author Tamera Mowry-Housley invites readers to imagine themselves popping over to her Napa Valley home, sitting down in her kitchen after a welcoming hug, surrounded by the smell of freshly baked cookies and having a cup of tea. And that's precisely what reading You Should Sit Down for This feels like: catching up with an old friend over a lovely Earl Grey and too many cookies!

Tamera Mowry-Housley broke onto the scene as the beloved TV star-one half of the memorable duo on the hit show Sister, Sister, and co-host of the FOX talk show The Real. Tamera's spunky Sister, Sister character stole the hearts of millions; however, the transition in the public eye from a teenage star to a grown woman with a family and thriving career wasn't easy. Being raised in Hawaii as an army brat instilled in her the discipline needed to succeed and conquer her dreams, but she felt secluded and sheltered and wondered if living on her terms would ever be her reality. Then, through gumption and grit, she decided it would. By harnessing her inner strength, Tamera stopped letting other people define her, tapped into her faith, and tossed away negativity to hone her own happiness and create a unique path forward for herself. She imparts her brand of wisdom-her Tameraisms-throughout the book and encourages readers to learn from her journey.

In You Should Sit Down for This, Tamera opens up about:

● exiling herself from the world of beauty pageants

● the pressures of being a teenage star

● her struggle with rejection

● the craziness of dating later in life

● the challenges of balancing family and career

● why it's okay for women to hide out in their closets when they just need a few minutes of peace. and much more!

In You Should Sit Down for This, Tamera is the fun-loving, wisdom-sharing girlfriend we all need in our lives-one who is always ready to top off your wine! A must-read for Tamera's millions of fans, whether they grew up watching her on Sister Sister and Tia & Tamera, or fell in love with her on The Real, the book is a lighthearted and delightful glimpse into the life of a much-loved actor. Tamera will leave readers feeling liberated and motivated to embrace the highs and lows of growing up in a book that celebrates cookies and the juicy parts of life. You Should Sit Down for This is a much-needed reminder of the magic that can happen when we open our minds and hearts to become the best versions of ourselves.

GRACE: PRESIDENT OBAMA AND TEN DAYS IN THE BATTLE FOR AMERICA (Mariner Books, October 4, 2022) is the riveting story of the most exhilarating and emotional stretch of the Obama presidency, told by the man Obama calls his "Hemingway," his longtime collaborator and chief speechwriter, Cody Keenan.

GRACE is a spellbinding account of the ten most dramatic days of the Obama presidency, when a hate-fueled massacre and looming Supreme Court decisions (the right to health care for working families and the right for same-sex couples to marry) put the character of our country on the line. Cody Keenan takes the readers deep inside the White House to offer the most intimate glimpse into process, procrastination, and crafting speeches at the highest level with Barack Obama, including:

· What happens inside the West Wing after a mass shooting, from someone who's written more eulogies after such tragedies than anyone else on the planet

· Heated Oval Office debates over how and whether to speak that week at all

· A late-night writing session in the First Family's private residence

· Obama's innermost thoughts on race and his use that week of the one word you can't say

· And the moment on Marine One when Obama decided to take a leap of faith in a soaring sermon and surprise everybody by leading the country in a chorus of "Amazing Grace."

In the rarest of White House memoirs, Keenan masterfully narrates the propulsive story of those ten days and offers an intimate look at where we've been and where we can go on our American journey toward progress and hope.

ABOUT CODY KEENAN

Cody Keenan rose from a campaign intern in Chicago to become chief speechwriter at the White House and Barack Obama's post-presidential collaborator. A sought-after expert on politics, messaging, and current affairs, he is a partner at leading speechwriting firm Fenway Strategies and teaches a popular course on political speechwriting at his alma mater Northwestern University. He lives in New York City with his wife Kristen and their daughter Gracie.

ABOUT CHEF JET TILA

From the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Normandie Avenue in the heart of Los Angeles to the Las Vegas Strip; from backyard cooking classes to battling legends on "Iron Chef America"-Jet Tila has carved a singular niche as a culinary storyteller. Thanks to his diverse background and education, Tila is as comfortable as chef and consultant as he is teacher and student in the art of food. His numerous accomplishments in the culinary world continue to grow. In 2013 alone, Tila has partnered with the Compass Group, the world's largest food-service company, to launch Modern Asian Kitchen, a new fast-casual Pan-Asian concept with locations nationwide. He is also set to separately open Kuma Snow Cream, a shaved-ice concept launching in Las Vegas this spring, all while continuing to build on his extensive national TV and radio appearances as a guest judge on "Chopped," as well as hosting his own radio show on KLAA in Los Angeles.

Tila grew up in his family's restaurant kitchens and markets in Los Angeles, home to the world's largest Thai population outside of Thailand. As a boy, he spent time learning the ancient traditions of Asian cuisine from his Cantonese grandmother and working in the famed Bangkok Market, which opened in 1972, and Royal Thai restaurant, which opened in 1978. "I call it birth luck," he says. "I was born into the 'first family' of Thai food in Los Angeles. My parents came here separately in 1966 and went on to open the first restaurants and grocery stores in this country and I was the kid doing homework in the back corner of the restaurant."

Not initially sure if he would pursue a career in the kitchen, in his 20s, Tila says he "got it together" and decided to build a foundation for his passion and completed his culinary education at Le Cordon Bleu, establishing a framework of classical French technique to match his extensive knowledge of Asian cooking. He also completed an intensive study program at the California Sushi Academy. "My food is predominantly Thai and Chinese because it was the food I was exposed to growing up," he notes. "And my cooking overall represents the neighborhood I grew up in LA: between Thai Town, Chinatown, Koreatown, and Little Tokyo."

Combining kitchen experience with the bold new world of food media was a natural move for Tila, whose backyard cooking classes attracted the attention of the Los Angeles Times. He has successfully transitioned from subject to producer by writing for the Times and contributing to many other publications and multimedia platforms, including National Public Radio, the Food Network, and his appearances on the "CBS Early Show," "No Reservations," "Best Thing I Ever Ate," and battling legendary Chef Masaharu Morimoto on "Iron Chef America," among many more. A highly sought-after consultant, Tila opened the cafe at Google headquarters in Silicon Valley and also currently maintains a wildly popular Asian food line through Schwan's Home Service. He keeps close to his roots by conducting "Melting Pot Food Tours" of Thai Town in Los Angeles, offering participants a curated tour of his favorite aspects of the neighborhood. In 2009, Tila debuted the acclaimed Wazuzu, a brilliant take on Pan-Asian dining, at Steve Wynn's Encore casino and resort on the Las Vegas Strip, which he was tapped to open in a record 98 days. More recently, he launched Bistronomics, an acclaimed series of pop-up restaurant experiences in Los Angeles. Tila has also set three world records: for creating the world's largest stir fry (4,010 lbs.); the world's largest seafood stew (6,656 lbs.); and the largest California roll (422 ft.).

Tila's current and future projects promise to bring him and his culinary skills to more prominence. He is currently working with the Compass Group to open Modern Asian Kitchen, a fast-casual Pan-Asian concept with locations nationwide, and is branching out on his own to open Kuma Snowcream, a shaved-ice concept launching in Las Vegas in spring 2013-the product of which he says is "like fresh, powdered snow, but that is creamy and tastes like ice cream." "At this point, I am interested in creating concepts, not just one-offs," he says. "I am and always will be a chef, but I am also always interested in new ways to combine cooking, business, and communication, since I enjoy all of them as much as I enjoy teaching people about where I come from through my food." Tila currently lives in Los Angeles with wife, Allison, their two children, as well as two dogs.

Dr. Daniel Emina, a psychiatrist and associate medical director of Amen Clinics, and Rick Lawrence, the general editor of the #1 bestselling Jesus-Centered Bible and host of the podcast Paying Ridiculous Attention to Jesus, have collaborated to end the epidemic in their book The Suicide Solution: Finding Your Way Out of the Darkness. Throughout The Suicide Solution, the authors use computer hardware and software as metaphors for the body’s biology and psychology to show how suicide is generally the culmination of a malfunction or failure of these two systems. Dr. Emina and Lawrence also include a vast array of simple, daily habits that enhance brain health—from walking barefoot outside to naming our negative self-stories.

About Rick Lawrence

Like everyone else, I usually introduce myself by listing what I do, rather than describing what's most important to me. So I'll take the road less traveled and answer this question first: “What do you stand for?”

I stand for the mission of Jesus in the world, not because it's the Christian thing to do, but because I'm captured and conquered by His heart...

The truth that overshadows everything in my life is simple: I am ruined by Jesus and ruined for Jesus. I mean, my love for Jesus, and my pursuit of Him, infiltrates every aspect of my identity. He is my raw necessity—most days, I'm desperate for Him in the same way a man crawling through the desert is desperate for water.

Under that overshadowing truth, I'm a husband to Bev, a spitfire Irish/Italian wife, and father to two delightful girls, Lucy and Emma. Every living thing in our home was female until a certain brutish male cat joined our all-girl pet lineup.

I'm Executive Director of Vibrant Faith—we come alongside ministry leaders to resource, train, coach, and conduct large-scale research projects. We have a rich history in the church, living out the vision of our founder, Dr. Merton Strommen. I invite you to “taste and see” what we're doing at VibrantFaith.org. I'm an author of 40 books and curriculums, and a speaker, ministry leader, and trainer. For three decades I led the youth ministry resourcing and training mission of Group Publishing, and was Executive Editor of GROUP Magazine. While there, I helped launch a line of books and resources for adults called “Jesus-Centered.”

I'm also the creator and host of a podcast called Paying Ridiculous Attention to Jesus, now in its sixth season.

My attitude is one that I will not be denied but slightly delayed. People can only meet you as deep as you have met yourself to be portrayed.

MOVIE OVERVIEW: AN UNLIKELY ANGEL

An Unlikely Angel is a heart-warming story about a successful NYC toy executive Janie Caswell (Murray) who faces her biggest challenge yet; being a mom. Although she is fully in control in the boardroom, she is a complete wreck at the thought of becoming a mom. She is afraid she will get it all wrong, or worse, get it right and then suffer the same illness that took her mom away from her so early in life.

Through an answer to prayer and the help of a New York Cabbie/angel (Robert Amaya), Janie gets a chance to see what her life could be in the future. Janie realizes that the baby years go by fast, and childhood is too precious a time to waste. Janie is miraculously offered the chance of a "do-over" and relishes every moment of being a wife and new mom.

Called to Lead by Serving Others

Recovering your Harvest of Grace Outreach Ministry is focused on those on the margins of society—homeless individuals and prisoners. It was founded in 2009 by Pastor Brenda White Green. Her husband, Pastor Kevin Green, is a cofounder of the ministry.

Pastors Brenda and Kevin are dedicated to meeting the needs of others before their own. Together, they go into the world to spread the Word of God and bring hope to the people who need it most. For instance, one of their main initiatives is to give back to the army cadets—courageous individuals who have selflessly served our country.
Pastor Brenda White Green

In 1968, Pastor Brenda was born in a country town called Floydada, TX. The Lord was present in the home she lived in at all times. At the age of 33, she was called to the ministry of Mt. Gilead Baptist Church in Lubbock, TX where she served others and was taught the Word of God.

In 2004 in Lubbock, Pastor Brenda felt summoned by the Lord to go out into the streets and the world to feed and touch the people that are rejected by society. She made it her mission to let them know that regardless of their circumstances, Jesus loves them all the same.

Pastor Brenda began travelling to different places to learn about outreach ministry. During her travels, she began getting stronger in the Word of God. Her work took her to places like:

 Albuquerque, NM
 Hobbs, NM
 Dallas-Fort Worth, TX
 Midland, TX
 Odessa, TX
 Denver, CO
 New Orleans, LA

Here is Zach’s why:
“My journey into health and fitness started with my first job out of college, the office was going to run a 5k in the summer, I decided to sign up for it. It didn’t help that I had just quit smoking and walking to the house from the driveway was considered intense cardio for me. I was close to 300 lbs and ate fast food every day. I started with a small change of running and little did I know that it was the first of many steps to get to a place where I was OK physically and mentally.

From the day I started running, I have continued making small changes and searching for inner peace that had always eluded me. Along the way, I have picked up so much information that I want to pass on to others who are in the same situation that I have been in. It’s time for me to give back to humanity in any way that I can. If I can find some semblance of inner peace, anyone can. I have found the power of caring for myself and I want to share that with as many people as I can. I know what it is like to struggle to the point of giving up and I don’t want anyone else to have to feel that hopelessness.”

Jeremy is a married father of two young girls and lives in rural British Columbia. He’s been in the broadcasting and podcasting business for about two decades. Jeremy is a certified REBT Mindset Life Coach.

His journey to wellness started later in life and he describes the first steps this way:
“One-morning several years ago I injured my knee in an attempt to quickly get out of bed to quiet my dog and keep him from waking my very young daughter. That injury led to physical therapy where I was told to get on a bike as much as possible or risk the damage to my knees that seems to be hereditary. I took the advice to heart and began bike commuting as much as possible.

That nine-mile trip took me on a much longer and more important journey. I found the chaos of surviving the ride to be somewhat therapeutic because I was forced to let everything go and focus on the moment or risk serious injury or worse.

Coincidence or not the next stop on my path to healing was a therapist’s office. There I learned to apply what I was learning on my bike to what became a semi-regular practice of meditation, experimentation with Yoga, and eventually a commitment to make a change.

The changes I’ve made and continue to make are small. I eat better, but not great. I exercise often but go easy on myself when I can’t or simply don’t want to. I meditate when I can quiet the voices telling me not to. I go to therapy…a lot.

I do all of these things in order to feel better physically and emotionally. I hope that sharing my journey from a knee injury to a lifetime of healing will help you feel a little less alone in your own journey…wherever that may lead you.”

Thank you for your time. ]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/51132410Sat, 03 Sep 2022 17:58:41 +0000I Am Refocused RadioZach resides in Albany, NY with his young daughter. Zach has a passion for helping people define and meet their wellness goals. He thinks that every person is different and there is no one size fits all solution for someone’s wellness. He is on a...
Here is Zach’s why:
“My journey into health and fitness started with my first job out of college, the office was going to run a 5k in the summer, I decided to sign up for it. It didn’t help that I had just quit smoking and walking to the house from the driveway was considered intense cardio for me. I was close to 300 lbs and ate fast food every day. I started with a small change of running and little did I know that it was the first of many steps to get to a place where I was OK physically and mentally.

From the day I started running, I have continued making small changes and searching for inner peace that had always eluded me. Along the way, I have picked up so much information that I want to pass on to others who are in the same situation that I have been in. It’s time for me to give back to humanity in any way that I can. If I can find some semblance of inner peace, anyone can. I have found the power of caring for myself and I want to share that with as many people as I can. I know what it is like to struggle to the point of giving up and I don’t want anyone else to have to feel that hopelessness.”

Jeremy is a married father of two young girls and lives in rural British Columbia. He’s been in the broadcasting and podcasting business for about two decades. Jeremy is a certified REBT Mindset Life Coach.

His journey to wellness started later in life and he describes the first steps this way:
“One-morning several years ago I injured my knee in an attempt to quickly get out of bed to quiet my dog and keep him from waking my very young daughter. That injury led to physical therapy where I was told to get on a bike as much as possible or risk the damage to my knees that seems to be hereditary. I took the advice to heart and began bike commuting as much as possible.

That nine-mile trip took me on a much longer and more important journey. I found the chaos of surviving the ride to be somewhat therapeutic because I was forced to let everything go and focus on the moment or risk serious injury or worse.

Coincidence or not the next stop on my path to healing was a therapist’s office. There I learned to apply what I was learning on my bike to what became a semi-regular practice of meditation, experimentation with Yoga, and eventually a commitment to make a change.

The changes I’ve made and continue to make are small. I eat better, but not great. I exercise often but go easy on myself when I can’t or simply don’t want to. I meditate when I can quiet the voices telling me not to. I go to therapy…a lot.

I do all of these things in order to feel better physically and emotionally. I hope that sharing my journey from a knee injury to a lifetime of healing will help you feel a little less alone in your own journey…wherever that may lead you.”

As a filmmaker, I'm on a mission to empower people become the best version of themselves through my films.

The discovery of my passion for film started at the age of 15 when I started writing and filming stories out of songs and simple sentences. Born in Ecuador, I immigrated to Canada alone to refine my craft in Film & TV Production. I have written and directed the short drama film "The Fallen", a comedy documentary "El Blanco". I have also performed several roles from camera op to switcher and directing the faith based TV talk show "Horizons" at Rogers TV.

I am now producing and directing my first Faith based/Drama film "Penelope's Story" about a strong willed teenage girl, Penelope, tormented through years of sexual slavery, gets a chance to escape her bondage from an unexpected patron, but he newfound faith must be tested to break the cycle of abuse.

I call this the Miracle Production, because the pre-production process has been a miracle after a miracle. We will be shooting in September, 2022 in Quebec, Canada.

How faith sustained Jackie Robinson—both as an athlete and as an activist.

The integration of Major League Baseball in 1947 was a triumph. But it was also a fight. As the first Black major leaguer since the 1880s, Jackie Robinson knew he was not going to be welcomed into America’s pastime with open arms. Anticipating hostility, he promised Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey that he would “turn the other cheek” during his first years in the league, despite his fiercely competitive disposition. Robinson later said that his faith in God had sustained him—giving him the strength he needed to play the game he loved at the highest level without retaliating against the abuse inflicted upon him by opposing players and fans.

Faith was a key component of Robinson’s life, but not in the way we see it with many prominent Christian athletes today. Whereas the Tim Tebows and Clayton Kershaws of the sports world emphasize personal spirituality, Robinson found inspiration in the Bible’s teachings on human dignity and social justice. He grew up a devout Methodist (a heritage he shared with Branch Rickey) and identified with the theological convictions and social concerns of many of his fellow mainline Protestants—especially those of the Black church. While he humbly stated that he could not claim to be a deeply religious man, he spoke frequently in African American congregations and described a special affinity he and other Black Christians felt for the biblical character Job, who had also kept faith despite suffering and injustice. In his eulogy for Robinson, Jesse Jackson described Robinson as a “co-partner of God,” who lived out his faith in his civil rights activism, both during and after his baseball career.

Robinson’s faith will resonate with many Christians who believe, as he did, that “a person can be quite religious and at the same time militant in the defense of his ideals.” This religious biography of Robinson chronicles the important role of faith in his life, from his childhood to his groundbreaking baseball career through his transformative civil rights work, and, in the process, helps to humanize the man who has become a mythic figure in both sports history and American culture.

Called to Lead by Serving Others

Recovering your Harvest of Grace Outreach Ministry is focused on those on the margins of society—homeless individuals and prisoners. It was founded in 2009 by Pastor Brenda White Green. Her husband, Pastor Kevin Green, is a cofounder of the ministry.

Pastors Brenda and Kevin are dedicated to meeting the needs of others before their own. Together, they go into the world to spread the Word of God and bring hope to the people who need it most. For instance, one of their main initiatives is to give back to the army cadets—courageous individuals who have selflessly served our country.
Pastor Brenda White Green

In 1968, Pastor Brenda was born in a country town called Floydada, TX. The Lord was present in the home she lived in at all times. At the age of 33, she was called to the ministry of Mt. Gilead Baptist Church in Lubbock, TX where she served others and was taught the Word of God.

In 2004 in Lubbock, Pastor Brenda felt summoned by the Lord to go out into the streets and the world to feed and touch the people that are rejected by society. She made it her mission to let them know that regardless of their circumstances, Jesus loves them all the same.

Pastor Brenda began travelling to different places to learn about outreach ministry. During her travels, she began getting stronger in the Word of God. Her work took her to places like:

 Albuquerque, NM
 Hobbs, NM
 Dallas-Fort Worth, TX
 Midland, TX
 Odessa, TX
 Denver, CO
 New Orleans, LA

The Cold War meets Mad Men in the form of Karel Koecher, a double agent whose shifting loyalties and over-the-top hedonism reverberated from New York to Moscow.

In the mid-1970s, the CIA and KGB watched Karel Koecher closely-they were both convinced he was working for the enemy. And they were both right. Traveling with his wife, Hana, Koecher posed as a Czechoslovak asylum seeker and arrived in the US as a Communist sleeper agent. After parlaying a doctorate from Columbia into a job at the CIA, Koecher proceeded to operate as a double agent at the height of the Cold War.

Shunning a low profile, the Koechers embraced Manhattan's high life-with cocaine, swinging, and parties emblematic of the times and their penchant for risk. Hana, who was no more than a shy teenager when she arrived, grew into a sophisticated international diamond dealer who relayed messages to Karel's handlers. Riding a wave of euphoria, the Koechers felt unstoppable. But it was too good to last.

Using newly declassified documents, interrogation tapes, and extraordinary firsthand accounts from the Koechers themselves, Cunningham reconstructs their double lives and the fading Cold War, where a strange moral fog made it hard to know what truth was being fought for, and to what end.

Pastors Brenda and Kevin are dedicated to meeting the needs of others before their own. Together, they go into the world to spread the Word of God and bring hope to the people who need it most. For instance, one of their main initiatives is to give back to the army cadets—courageous individuals who have selflessly served our country.
Pastor Brenda White Green

In 1968, Pastor Brenda was born in a country town called Floydada, TX. The Lord was present in the home she lived in at all times. At the age of 33, she was called to the ministry of Mt. Gilead Baptist Church in Lubbock, TX where she served others and was taught the Word of God.

In 2004 in Lubbock, Pastor Brenda felt summoned by the Lord to go out into the streets and the world to feed and touch the people that are rejected by society. She made it her mission to let them know that regardless of their circumstances, Jesus loves them all the same.

Pastor Brenda began travelling to different places to learn about outreach ministry. During her travels, she began getting stronger in the Word of God. Her work took her to places like:

 Albuquerque, NM
 Hobbs, NM
 Dallas-Fort Worth, TX
 Midland, TX
 Odessa, TX
 Denver, CO

Outside the box thinker. I have resolved the paradox: Why are 95% of worldwide artists existing around the poverty level and therefore should be proud to be poor. But without creativity there are no man-made systems, there would be no world as we know it.

The solution: I discover patterns within Art that foster creative communication and identify art values outside any systems which always raise our human potential.

Pastors Brenda and Kevin are dedicated to meeting the needs of others before their own. Together, they go into the world to spread the Word of God and bring hope to the people who need it most. For instance, one of their main initiatives is to give back to the army cadets—courageous individuals who have selflessly served our country.
Pastor Brenda White Green

In 1968, Pastor Brenda was born in a country town called Floydada, TX. The Lord was present in the home she lived in at all times. At the age of 33, she was called to the ministry of Mt. Gilead Baptist Church in Lubbock, TX where she served others and was taught the Word of God.

In 2004 in Lubbock, Pastor Brenda felt summoned by the Lord to go out into the streets and the world to feed and touch the people that are rejected by society. She made it her mission to let them know that regardless of their circumstances, Jesus loves them all the same.

Pastor Brenda began travelling to different places to learn about outreach ministry. During her travels, she began getting stronger in the Word of God. Her work took her to places like:

 Albuquerque, NM
 Hobbs, NM
 Dallas-Fort Worth, TX
 Midland, TX
 Odessa, TX
 Denver, CO
 New Orleans, LA

Kyle Petty is NASCAR royalty. Son of the legendary "King," Richard Petty, and grandson of one of the founding fathers of the sport, Lee Petty, he has dedicated his life to the most popular form of American auto racing. With his new book, co-written with bestselling author Ellis Henican, SWERVE OR DIE: Life at My Speed in the First Family of NASCAR Racing (St. Martin's Press, on sale date August 9, 2022, $28.99), this beloved member of the first family of American auto racing discusses the sport's origins, how it is navigating the important issues of the day, and what the future will be for the sport. And, that future might just see NASCAR becoming a global leader in "green" vehicles.

A champion on and off the track, Petty presents a thoughtful and nuanced book. This is not just an "I raced here; I won there," type of book. Rather, a great portion is devoted to facing down tough issues plaguing the sport, and society. SWERVE OR DIE takes a deep dive into how the great American racing circuit has become so controversial and how it's Southern-bred worldview - the Confederate flag debate, for example - is shaking American life yet again. He is not afraid to pull the curtain back on why the sport is dealing with many wrenching societal issues tearing at its soul and how it will go about handling them.



This is the smart NASCAR book that's never been written before. From the dirt tracks of the south and the hard-packed beaches of Daytona FL, to today's Superspeedways, often with 150,000+ fans in attendance, few sports.few businesses.have grown as exponentially as NASCAR. Its future is a hot topic. How does NASCAR attract the next generation (or two) of fans while maintaining the hold it has on old-time fans who helped racing grow into a colossus? Are electric vehicles, and green racing, where the sport is headed?



Filled with intensely personal anecdotes and juicy stories about the sport's biggest names, it's also chock full of never-before-seen photos from the Petty family's private collection. This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about the sport, as well as the perfect primer for anyone who's ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes at all the races.



PRAISE FOR SWERVE OR DIE



"After all the things Kyle's done, I knew there had to be a book in there somewhere. Well, here it is. And I'll tell you what: Kyle doesn't believe in keeping secrets. Even I learned some things in here. And yeah, his mom deserves all the credit for how he turned out." --Richard Petty



"He's lived through the worst possible scenario that could happen to anyone. Imagine going back to Loudon after that! You could throw haymakers at Kyle. He just rolls with it. He's like, 'I'm gonna walk around with a ponytail.I'm gonna sing.I'm gonna say whatever I wanna say on TV.' With that upbeat attitude of his and the way he takes advantage of every opportunity, I do think Kyle has lived the lives of five people combined."--Joey Logano, NASCAR Champion



"It's always darkest in the shadow of greatness. Each generation has had to prove itself along the way, and believe me it doesn't get easier. Kyle's story is a uniquely American one about a uniquely America sport. I highly recommend it."-- Jay Leno



"Kyle isn't just a racecar driver. He has a powerful voice, a bottomless heart and a real gift for bringing people together. What he's achieved with Victory Junction and the Kyle Petty Charity Ride. It's just incredible. His life story is packed with lessons for all of us."--Herschel Walker



"As a competitor, broadcaster, family member and dear friend, Kyle has lived through every era of our sport, impacting the lives of so many along the way. With a heartfelt gift for storytelling, his love for NASCAR and passion for the people in it make his first-hand account of motorsports history a must-read for racing fans everywhere."--Lesa Kennedy, executive vice chair of NASCAR

Band of Brothers meets Argo in this dramatic and heartfelt dual memoir of the war in Afghanistan told by two men from opposite worlds.

Always Faithful entwines the stories of Marine Major Tom Schueman, and his friend and Afghan interpreter, Zainullah "Zak" Zaki, as they describe their parallel lives, converging paths, and unbreakable bond in the face of overwhelming danger, culminating in Zak and his family's harrowing escape from Kabul. 

In August of 2021, just days shy of the 20th anniversary of 9/11, America ended its longest war. The speed of the Afghanistan's fall was so stunning that thousands of Afghan citizens who had helped American forces over the course of two decades-and had been promised visas in return-were suddenly stranded, in extreme, imminent danger. As the world watched the shocking scenes of desperation at the Kabul airport in the final two weeks of August, Maj. Tom Schueman fought-both behind the scenes and through a social media campaign-to get his friend and former Afghan interpreter, Zak, out of Afghanistan before he and his family were discovered by the Taliban. When Zak and his family finally took off from the airport mere days before the US left the country, the years-long effort to get Zak to America culminated in two simple words on Instagram: "Wheels up."

Now in Always Faithful, Tom and Zak tell the full story of the divergent paths that led them to Afghanistan, the dangerous road they walked together in service to America, and how their commitment to each other ended up saving them both. Brilliantly told in Tom's and Zak's alternating first person voices, Always Faithful tracks the parallel lives of these two men who each spent their childhoods in fear, peril, and poverty, and turned to war in attempt to build a meaningful future. On an inevitable course towards each other, their lives dovetail in Afghanistan's deadly Helmand Valley, where they formed a brotherhood that transcends even the most overwhelming of odds, eventually culminating in Zak's harrowing, eleventh-hour rescue.

The end result is an intensely personal and uniquely ground-level account of Tom and Zak's experience,Always Faithful gives readers a 360-degree view of the war. At once provocative and heart pounding, their stories together form a microcosm of the complicated and lasting effects of America's longest war. Through their eyes and their experiences, they challenge readers to explore the legacy of the war for American and Afghan citizens alike, as we all collectively seek to understand whether twenty years of war was worth the price.

REVIEWS

In plain old good writing, this book tells how two individuals fought the forces of the Taliban, Afghan corruption, and U.S. government bureaucracy to bring one interpreter's family to safety and freedom. It is a gripping and poignant story of quiet heroism, with a hair-raising ending. You will finish this book feeling triumphant for the few that got out, and angry and sad for the many we shamefully left behind. - Karl Marlantes, author of Matterhorn, What It Is Like to Go to War, and Deep River

Schueman and Zaki offer a haunting account of the courage and sacrifices of U.S. troops alongside their Afghan partners over the past two decades. Amid the backdrop of America's longest war in history and hopes out of reach, their stories are a testament to the enduring human spirit. - U.S. Senator Dick Durbin

A tremendous look inside the relationships forged in combat and the dedication and sacrifice of the Afghans and Marines who served side by side to gain a better future for Afghanistan. This book is honest, compelling, and full of suspense. This book is Honor, Courage, and Commitment at its finest. - Lieutenant General Lori Reynolds, United States Marine Corps (retired), former Deputy Commandant for Information

A classic, heartwarming story of two hardened warriors, one Afghan and the other American, who keep faith with each other and emerge triumphant from impending death. This incredible rescue shows what determined Americans can accomplish, despite government incompetence. A fitting metaphor for America's longest and most bungled war. - Bing West, bestselling author ofThe Last Platoon: A Novel of the Afghanistan War

Wars are full of fascinating stories. As part literary memoir and part thriller, Always Faithful certainly is one of those. It's a book that demands attention. By telling the story from both an American and an Afghan perspective, Always Faithful offers a unique view within the literature of America's post-9/11 wars, which often lacks the voices of the people most affected. As we contemplate the meaning and value of twenty years of war, Tom Schueman and Zainullah Zaki offer us a path to understand the human cost of service in Afghanistan and the inherent bonds of our shared humanity. - Steven Pressfield, bestselling author of Gates of Fire and A Man at Arms

ABOUT MAJOR TOM SCHUEMAN

Major Tom Schueman served in Afghanistan for sixteen months, including the single bloodiest battle of the war in Afghanistan as a platoon commander with the Third Battalion, Fifth Marines in Helmand Province. Schueman redeployed to Afghanistan as a JTAC and advisor to the Afghan National Army while he was a member of First Reconnaissance Battalion. Schueman went on to get his master's in English literature at Georgetown University and teach English literature at the United States Naval Academy. He is currently a student at the Naval War College and remains on active duty. He is also the founder of the nonprofit Patrol Base Abbate.

Band of Brothers meets Argo in this dramatic and heartfelt dual memoir of the war in Afghanistan told by two men from opposite worlds.

Always Faithful entwines the stories of Marine Major Tom Schueman, and his friend and Afghan interpreter, Zainullah "Zak" Zaki, as they describe their parallel lives, converging paths, and unbreakable bond in the face of overwhelming danger, culminating in Zak and his family's harrowing escape from Kabul. 

In August of 2021, just days shy of the 20th anniversary of 9/11, America ended its longest war. The speed of the Afghanistan's fall was so stunning that thousands of Afghan citizens who had helped American forces over the course of two decades-and had been promised visas in return-were suddenly stranded, in extreme, imminent danger. As the world watched the shocking scenes of desperation at the Kabul airport in the final two weeks of August, Maj. Tom Schueman fought-both behind the scenes and through a social media campaign-to get his friend and former Afghan interpreter, Zak, out of Afghanistan before he and his family were discovered by the Taliban. When Zak and his family finally took off from the airport mere days before the US left the country, the years-long effort to get Zak to America culminated in two simple words on Instagram: "Wheels up."

Now in Always Faithful, Tom and Zak tell the full story of the divergent paths that led them to Afghanistan, the dangerous road they walked together in service to America, and how their commitment to each other ended up saving them both. Brilliantly told in Tom's and Zak's alternating first person voices, Always Faithful tracks the parallel lives of these two men who each spent their childhoods in fear, peril, and poverty, and turned to war in attempt to build a meaningful future. On an inevitable course towards each other, their lives dovetail in Afghanistan's deadly Helmand Valley, where they formed a brotherhood that transcends even the most overwhelming of odds, eventually culminating in Zak's harrowing, eleventh-hour rescue.

The end result is an intensely personal and uniquely ground-level account of Tom and Zak's experience,Always Faithful gives readers a 360-degree view of the war. At once provocative and heart pounding, their stories together form a microcosm of the complicated and lasting effects of America's longest war. Through their eyes and their experiences, they challenge readers to explore the legacy of the war for American and Afghan citizens alike, as we all collectively seek to understand whether twenty years of war was worth the price.

REVIEWS

In plain old good writing, this book tells how two individuals fought the forces of the Taliban, Afghan corruption, and U.S. government bureaucracy to bring one interpreter's family to safety and freedom. It is a gripping and poignant story of quiet heroism, with a hair-raising ending. You will finish this book feeling triumphant for the few that got out, and angry and sad for the many we shamefully left behind. - Karl Marlantes, author of Matterhorn, What It Is Like to Go to War, and Deep River

Schueman and Zaki offer a haunting account of the courage and sacrifices of U.S. troops alongside their Afghan partners over the past two decades. Amid the backdrop of America's longest war in history and hopes out of reach, their stories are a testament to the enduring human spirit. - U.S. Senator Dick Durbin

A tremendous look inside the relationships forged in combat and the dedication and sacrifice of the Afghans and Marines who served side by side to gain a better future for Afghanistan. This book is honest, compelling, and full of suspense. This book is Honor, Courage, and Commitment at its finest. - Lieutenant General Lori Reynolds, United States Marine Corps (retired), former Deputy Commandant for Information

Grey's Anatomy's Jaicy Elliot to Star in Hallmark's New Film Promoting Self-Acceptance and Body Positivity,

"Hallmark is opening an important dialogue about female empowerment," Elliot tells PEOPLE about the network's upcoming film Romance in Style

Hallmark has a new movie - with a strong message - on the horizon! The network's upcoming original film,Romance in Style - a movie promoting self-love and body-positivity, will premiere during Hallmark Channel's annual "Fall into Love"programming event on August 13th.

"I am so thrilled to be part of this new conversation we are currently having about self-acceptance and the positive spreading of that message," says leading lady Jaicy Elliot, who has portrayed Dr. Taryn Helm in the ABC medical drama Grey's Anatomy for the past four seasons.

"Hallmark is opening an important dialogue about female empowerment and breaking through the oh-so-thick ceiling of social misconceptions we have collectively built," she continues. "Long gone is the time when it was acceptable to judge people solely on their appearance. I think it's high time we all move on from these superficial criteria and build a healthier, more connected world in which we strive to be better at being kind and tolerant."

"I'm thankful for this movie and the message it conveys, and I feel so honored to be included in bringing it to life," she concludes."

In the film, Elliot will portray Ella, a confident and passionate aspiring plus-size fashion designer whose dream is to make clothing for women like herself.

While working as a freelance seamstress at a high-profile fashion magazine, she meets the "Prince of Publishing" Derek (Benjamin Hollingsworth), who is working on taking over the magazine business from his father and is desperate to learn the ins and outs of the industry as quickly as possible.

Somewhere along the way, the two end up falling for each other - but they must find a way to navigate their differences and society's expectations of what makes the perfect couple.

"We are very excited to bring our viewers this movie that celebrates self-love and self-acceptance," Crown Media Family Networks Executive Vice President of Programming Lisa Hamilton Daly said in statement to PEOPLE. "We are committed to a more diverse and inclusive slate of projects, so we are happy to share a story showing that love comes in all shapes and sizes."

The film also stars model/designer Candice Huffine.

"When Hallmark Channel asked me if I wanted to be in a movie that is geared towards women who love fashion and embraces body-positivity, it was an easy yes," says Huffine. "I commend Hallmark Channel for making a movie that promotes body love and acceptance; I hope to see more!"

An attractive brunette with angular features, Lee Grant began her career as a child performer with NYC's Metropolitan Opera. By age 11, she had become a member of the American Ballet Theatre. After music studies at Juilliard, she won a scholarship to attend the Neighborhood Playhouse and switched her focus to acting. Grant understudied the role of Ado Annie in a touring production of "Oklahoma!" before landing her breakthrough stage role as a young shoplifter in Sidney Kingsley's "Detective Story" in 1949. Hollywood soon beckoned and she recreated the role in William Wyler's 1951 superb film version. Grant won the Cannes Film Festival Best Actress prize and earned a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for the role. Seemingly on the verge of a brilliant career, the actress found herself the victim of the blacklist when her husband, playwright Arnold Manoff was named before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Grant herself refused to testify and the film offers over the next decade were sporadic.

Returning to Manhattan, Grant found work in TV (e.g., the daytime soap "Search for Tomorrow") and on stage (i.e., "A Hole in the Head" 1957; "Two for the Seesaw" 1959). After earning an OBIE Award for her work in Genet's "The Maids" in 1963, her small screen career began to pick up. In 1965, Grant joined the cast of the primetime soap "Peyton Place" as Stella Chernak and picked up an Emmy for her work. She earned a second statuette for her performance as a runaway wife and mother who ends up at a truck stop in California in "The Neon Ceiling" (NBC, 1971).

By the time she had earned her second Emmy, Grant's feature career had been rejuvenated with her stellar work as the widow of a murder victim in Norman Jewison's Oscar-winning "In the Heat of the Night" (1967). That same year, she essayed a neurotic in the campy "Valley of the Dolls." In "The Landlord" (1970), she was the society matron mother of Beau Bridges and her comic portrayal earned her a second Oscar nomination as Best Supporting Actress. Grant then played the mother of all Jewish mothers, Sophie Portnoy, in Ernest Lehman's film version of Philip Roth's novel "Portnoy's Complaint" (1972). Hal Ashby's "Shampoo" (1975) finally brought her a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award as a Beverly Hills matron having an affair with her hairdresser. The following year, Grant received a fourth nomination for her deeply moving portrayal of a Jewish refugee in "Voyage of the Damned."

Her subsequent screen roles have been of varying quality, although Grant always brings a professionalism and degree of excellence to even the smallest role. After striking out as a sitcom lead in the underrated "Fay" (NBC, 1975), she delivered a fine portrayal of First Lady Grace Coolidge in "Backstairs at the White House" (NBC, 1979), was the domineering mother of actress Frances Farmer in "Will There Really Be a Morning?" (CBS, 1983) and excelled as Dora Cohn, mother of "Roy Cohn" (HBO, 1992). On the big screen, Grant lent her substantial abilities to "Teachers" (1984) as a hard-nosed school superintendent, "Defending Your Life" (1991), as an elegant prosecutor sparring with adversary Rip Torn, and "It's My Party" (1996), as the mother of man suffering from complications from AIDS.

While Grant has continued to act in features and on TV, she has concentrated more on her directing career since the 80s. After studying at the American Film Institute, she made the short "The Stronger" (1976) which eventually aired on Arts & Entertainment's "Shortstories" in 1988. Grant made her feature debut with "Tell Me a Riddle" (1980), an earnest, well-acted story of an elderly couple facing death. She has excelled in the documentary format, beginning with "The Wilmar 8" (1981), about strike by female bank employees in the Midwest. (Grant later directed a fictionalized account entitled "A Matter of Sex" for NBC in 1984). She steered Marlo Thomas to an Emmy in the fact-based "Nobody's Child" (CBS, 1986) and earned praise for helming "No Place Like Home" (CBS, 1989), a stark look at the effects of unemployment. A number of her documentaries have been screened as part of HBO's "America Undercover" series, including the Oscar-winning "Down and Out in America" (1985), about the unemployed, "What Sex Am I?" (1985), about transsexuals and transvestites, "Battered" (1989), about victims of domestic violence, and "Women on Trial" (1992), about mothers who turn to the courts to protect their children. In 1997, she produced, directed and hosted the well-received "Say It, Fight It, Cure It" (Lifetime) which focused on breast cancer survivors and their families.

ABOUT KILLIAN AND THE COMEBACK KIDS

In August, film distributor Hope Runs High will release its latest feature film across VOD platforms - bringing the much-lauded "Killian & the Comeback Kids" to a national audience outside of its 30 city theatrical release. For composer-writer-director Taylor A. Purdee, "Killian & the Comeback Kids" is a passion project that has united a dynamic team of creatives both onscreen and off. Concurrently with digital release, the film's screenplay will be preserved by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' permanent archive.

With the film's initial theatrical releases, Purdee became the youngest director in 2020 and 2021 to have a film playing in major American exhibition circuits. He is also the first bi-racial director-star of African American descent to have a film theatrically released in the United States in the 21st century.

'Killian' is the story of a young mixed-race musician forced to return to his rural hometown, burdened by the expense of his college degree. A chance encounter with a childhood acquaintance takes his summer in a new direction as the pair enlist a rag-tag band of other struggling locals to play a music festival coming to their once-prosperous steel town. With youthful ambition and an unflagging passion for folk-rock, Killian and the band take a shot at uniting their divided community and setting the stage for their futures.

Purdee discusses the film's resonance in the current moment. "Folk music has always represented three things: a lot of self-determination, social responsibility, and a DIY spirit that happens to run through most younger generations. In a moment where the culture seems increasingly divided, when higher education could be viewed as more of a corporate scheme than a ticket to prosperity, and when one-third of our young people remain suspended in an elongated adolescence, our view of professional and personal identity is worth reimagining."

The film's music by Purdee and his The Cumberland Kids bandmate Liam Higgins garnered Oscar buzz, and Purdee's original screenplay will be preserved in The Academy's permanent archive. The film stars Taylor A. Purdee, Kassie DePaiva, Nathan Purdee, John Donchak, Shannon O'Boyle, Shane Andries, Emily Mest, Yael Elisheva, and Andrew O'Shanick, and features Maddi Jane and Academy Award-winner Lee Grant.

"With a cast built of new faces, street musicians, Broadway mainstays, daytime superstars, new media darlings, and a living legend of classic Hollywood, our disruptive star power is the perfect mixture for an unconventional film in unconventional times."

SYNOPSIS: Killian & the Comeback Kids is the story of a young mixed race musician forced to return to his rural hometown after an expensive college degree. A chance encounter with a childhood acquaintance gives the summer new direction. Together they throw together a rag-tag band of other struggling locals for one shot to play a music festival coming to their once prosperous steel town. Armed with only folk-rock, Killian and the band hope to unite the community - - if just for one night. A little musical at the cross roads of small town America and a burgeoning youth culture only just beginning to find its voice.

Author

For author and speaker Pepper Bonay-Martin, overcoming her divorce to move forward proved to be a long and painful process, but was also laced with hope and healing. In her new book I'm Married but I Feel Like I'm Single: 5 Steps to Successfully Navigate a Painful Divorce, Bonay-Martin tells her riveting story describing how a once firmly-grounded Christian couple's deep desire to love was simply not enough to fight off the deception and intense loneliness that infiltrated their marriage. This left their relationship vulnerable to an array of pitfalls – including infidelity – which eventually led to its painful and public demise, including a 10-year separation and finally, a painful divorce. “Regardless of where you are on the relationship spectrum,” said Bonay Martin, “my story offers sound advice to readers about my emotional journey from bliss to the abyss, which ends with a divine demonstration of God's ability to repair and restore broken hearts and broken lives. I can assure readers that they will will cry, laugh, feel intense anger and then a burst a restored hope.” Published by TBN’s Trilogy Christian Publishing, I’m Married but I Feel Like I’m Single is available through Amazon.com, bn.com, and wherever books are sold. You will cry, laugh, feel intense anger and then a burst a restored hope. It is an excellent read, both inspirational and entertaining.
