One of the most fun books I've read in awhile. I'm sitting here laughing out loud at the relatability. Poor Jim Panzee just wants to be left alone on his de-stressing walk. But his friends think othe…

How much of yourself are you leaving on the table? Tune in to learn the "four-sided affair" that Danforth teaches to help us align what we could be, with what we are.

Another great suggestion from my partner-in-crime, Dread. I was looking for a simple, inspirational and implementable read, and "I Dare You!" delivered. Originally published in the 30s, there is an e…

School is approaching, and I'm trying my best to reach as many students as possible with my assembly program. Today, you'll hear a breakdown, both product-wise and message-wise, of that program and h…

This book has reinforced that things are not always simple. That there are many sides to any situation or equation. "Right" is not THE thing, rather A thing. Life is ugly and beautiful at the same ti…

It's the heaviest books and the heaviest parts within those books that I find myself compelled to share most. Not always easy to read, learn and listen, I feel they make us better, more aware humans.…

This is kind of an anniversary because of the notable episode count—this is #350 of Talks, which are usually interviews from all walks of life, sometimes conversations with Dread or others, and other…
