About We, As Citizens: Because Conversation Matters
We all have more in common than we think. And that is why this show is about conversations.
I'm talking with people that I agree with and some that I might not entirely agree with. Hopefully, you won't be able to tell who's who.
Conversations with people who are probably more like us than not. I'm not here to feed the 'cancel culture.' We all know what that is and I hope you'll come away with new found knowledge from some of my guests.
We are more than our bank accounts, education, the color of our skin, where we were born, who we pray to, and who we love.
We all have more in common than we think.
Taylor Daniele likes to think of herself as a creative force trying to make her own space to exist.
Our conversation covers the questions in life she ponders. Such as digging inward to understand our "why." From diabetes health and awareness, being your unapologetic self, and making significant life changes during the height of Covid.

Steve Silverman
Steve Silverman looks for the good in life. While out for a run last year, he could not find the podcast he wanted to listen to. He was tired of hours-long dark genres that are popular, so he created his own to showcase finding the good.
In our talk, we discuss that all outward appearances, he is a successful Hollywood writer, yet he admits that for every success he has had came one thousand failures. There have been costs for being fearless in his career.

Archie Messersmith-Bunting
We must learn to talk with one another about mental illness.
That is why I wanted my conversation with Archie Messersmith-Bunting to revolve around depression, suicide, alcohol, and drug addiction as it relates to this past year during Covid-19.
He kindly obliged because he knows of what he speaks. His perspective is from his struggles with depression, addiction, and suicide attempts.
Today he is known as The Feelings Guy™. Archie champions mental health awareness worldwide at corporations and universities challenging people to rethink these complicated and emotional topics.

Marissa F. Cohen
Marissa F. Cohen is a best selling author, speaker and advocate.
The roots of this success came as a 19-year-old outgoing, bubbly college freshman with a caring boyfriend; until he wasn't.
She tells me, "he started out so thoughtful and charming, I didn't really see the quick progression to abusive and manipulative and controlling. ...I didn't know that the things he was doing and saying were, were wrong because we never learned about it."
Her recovery did not fully start until almost a year later when she finally let it all out to her close friend.
Since that time, she's become an advocate helping survivors let go and speak their truth and break their silence.

Joel Manby
In his book Love Works, Joel Manby introduces us to the power of agape love in the workplace. When he was a manager in the auto industry where Joel knew that there had to be a better way of building relationships between managers and workers.
When he became CEO at Herschend Family Entertainment, he found that leading with love (the verb) is possible at work. To be both loving and accountable; to be profitable and caring; to be effective and be giving.
After leading thousands of men and women, he has proven that leading with love is useful, even in a business environment. Manby challenges leaders to allow integrity and faith to guide leadership decisions, outlining seven time-proven principles that break down the natural walls within corporate cultures, empower managers and employees, disarming difficulties, and cultivate an atmosphere that builds long-term success.

Frannie Foltz
At first glance, Frannie Foltz is the picture of health and a perfect life with a big personality. It hasn't always been true for her. Years ago, as a 20-something, Frannie graduated college and moved to Florida for her first teaching position. There she joined a gym, and her trainer had what I call a "Come to Jesus" talk with her. Pointing out that she needed to change her ways because, " ...if you were to gain just one pound every month, every month for the next five years, You'll be closer to 400 than you are to 300". And after losing and maintaining 125+lbs over two decades, she has a passion for fitness!
Frannie doesn't hide her experiences of being human by overcoming sexual abuse as a child, turning to food, and later having an affair. But she states that God soon after took over after many rock bottom moments.
It is her mission to empower women to live every day fully.

Douglas Laux
So, why did I invite Douglas Laux for a conversation?
Because talking to a CIA case officer is not something that we knowingly do unless it is someone like Douglas Laux, who has written a book about his career. Like most of us, I’ve seen emotional reactions regarding the subject of the CIA. For quite some time, a few books and movies were my only knowledge of the Central Intelligence Agency. I wanted to have a conversation with a person who was once part of the agency.

Simon Jordan
Simon Jordan has accomplished much in his life. I wanted to talk to him about his environmental works.
Yet, to call him simply an environmentalist would be missing much of who he is. He exemplifies a deep-rooted understanding of following his purpose in life, illustrated through his gratitude practice and finding flow. We also talked about how he seemingly can achieve anything he sets his mind.
