All the things...with Lane and Lani

Ever been to a Burning Man festival?  Do you even know what one is?  What takes place there, and where does it take place?  Our guest, who shall remain anonymous, gives us a first-hand account of his experience at this world-renowned festival that takes place in the dessert for an entire week.  Artwork, music, dancing, alcohol, drugs, but all done in ways that are meant to "connect us back to self," with this experience known as Burning Man.  Enjoy

This woman was insightful and a pleasure to talk with!  She has a message for all of listeners, and one that translates also into the area of preventing Teen Suicide.  She is very informed and very caring, and her message is designed for everyone to hear.  We hope that you follow a few of the links that Jackie Simmons provides here below, especially if you have kids at home to help keep the lines of communication open.  A very good podcast, and we thank Jackie for considering us in her full schedule.  Enjoy.

Meet this talented, inspiring young woman as she tells us of her life growing up in Fairbanks, Alaska, and her decision to move into the comfort of the Midwest.  A former model, and now aspiring pageant queen, Jessica also runs her own cake business, Crowned Cakes by Jess, but that task does not define her.  Listen in as we discover more about this quiet, reserved woman's life, her great "sense of self" and place in this world, as well as hear her recount the story of using Ancestory.com to meet her biological father.  By the way, she also reads Tarot Cards; how will that go?  Enjoy.

This is it folks; EPISODE #25.  What better way to celebrate our 25th than the real scoop on a company, owner/president, and a lifestyle that can wreck a human spirit.  If you are stuck in a job because you feel as if you can not leave, or if you are treated unfairly at work but for one reason or another, feel like you can not leave, listen to this episode as Lani describes her last position in the "cooperate world."  It truly is an amazing story of how you think that you know someone, and fully understand their "job" that they leave the house for every day; day after day after day., but you may have no idea...  Success and independence does not just come knocking, it is sought after and fought for.  This is Lani's story- have a listen!  Enjoy.

Just looking at someone you may think "boy, that person has it all together!" On the opposite end you may look at them and think to yourself "there's no 'issues' with this person, who do they think they are trying to make everyone believe that they've got problems?"  The thing is; you just never know what is going on in someone else's mind or body.  We spent some time with highly motivated, former Mrs. Ohio, Mrs. Michigan, and Mrs. Continental pageant queen, Katie Maskey.  She not only talks about her role as an Ambassador for the Invisible Disability Association, but also her drive to inspire and coach, aspiring young women on pageantry and modeling.  We also discuss her children's book: Ferdinand...with the Extra Toes.  Inspired nonetheless by her very own cat that actually has "extra toes!"
A very interesting conversation, and well worth a listen!
Enjoy.  

Dr. George Simon is a clinical psychologist who has been on CNN, Fox News, 48 Hours Mystery, has authored 4 books, and is currently working on book #5.   He is a best-selling author, and expert, on the subject of "personality disturbances," and we had the pleasure of sitting down with him to discuss a few of the processes behind narcassism, manipulators, and even such psychopathic tendencies as the case of Aerial Castro.  There is a dark side to us all, and what keeps most of us from flipping that switch and going to "the dark side" is what we discuss in this episode.  Enjoy.

This was a true treat for Lane!  We were actually able to meet and have a conversation with an icon in the Youtube "content creator" world.  Eddie Pinero creates videos and tells stories of inspiration and purpose- all to the beat of his own music creation; literally!  You will not want to miss this podcast!  You will need to check out his content at Your World Within on Youtube, but in the meantime, give a listen to this inspiring man to hear what he is about!  Enjoy.

A quiet, soft spoken man with connections around the globe, Pattrick the Magician joins this episode and explains that illusion, magic, and slight-of-hand are still very much alive in this world.  We happened upon him doing his card tricks at a local Mexican restaurant, but his story is far more interesting than that.   Give it a listen, and be sure to check out the Youtube video (watch for the release on our Facebook page) to see the terrific card tricks first hand!  Enjoy.

We were very fortunate to have about a 30-minute side down with an 11-year veteran of the National Football League, Bruce Gradkowski.  As most, but not all, pro athletes go, he is a very humble and approachable guy that had us to his restaurant "Social" located in Perrysburg, Ohio for this interview.  While the food and cocktails there are excellent, the conversation with this man was even better.  We can't thank him enough for giving us his time, and we think that you'll like what he has to say on "the game," his life now, as well as few other topics you will have to listen to hear about.  Enjoy.

'Talk about a fun and entertaining interview! In this episode we sit down with a man that is making positive changes as an "Influencer," in today's terms, for his area, and possibly beyond in the future.  He believes bringing awareness to many things that are out of everyone's "tunnel vision" of norms, and encourages people to sample different businesses and services that will bring more experience into their life.  Truly a terrific concept, and if you have not heard of him, you will want to check out what he has been up to and what he has in store.  Enjoy.
