  • Ep. 643 - Open Skies: My Life as Afghanistan's First Female Pilot | Niloofar Rahmani
    9-13-21 Allen Cardoza Interviews Niloofar Rahmani
    http://answers.network
    http://chicagoreviewpress.com

    Open Skies is the true story of Niloofar Rahmani and her determination to become Afghanistan’s first female air force pilot.

    In 2010, for the first time since the Soviets, Afghanistan allowed women to join the armed forces, and Niloofar entered Afghanistan’s military academy.

    Niloofar had to break through social barriers to demonstrate confidence, leadership, and decisiveness—essential qualities for a combat pilot. Niloofar performed the first solo flight of her class—ahead of all her male classmates—and in 2013 became Afghanistan’s first female fixed-wing air force pilot.

    The US State Department honored Niloofar with the International Women of Courage Award and brought her to the United States to meet Michelle Obama and fly with the US Navy’s Blue Angels. But when she returned to Kabul, the danger to her and her family had increased significantly.

    Rahmani and her family are portraits of the resiliency of refugees and the accomplishments they can reach when afforded opportunities.

    Manifesting desires has never been easier than with New York Times bestselling author Christy Whitman’s newest book, The Desire Factor, which offers the tools for you to find happiness, abundance, and success!

    The Desire Factor proves that desire is the force behind every act of creation, and it is the mechanism through which everything in this boundless spiritual universe is made manifest into physical, tangible form. However, the true gift is not in acquiring our desires; it is the people we become in the process of allowing our desires to move through us. The skills, the strengths, and the character traits we develop in the process of manifesting our desires stay with us always.

    The Desire Factor unfolds the precise steps for bringing about the manifestation of any desire. Take author Christy Whitman’s advice and learn to lean into prosperity and abundance. In this book, my friend Christy Whitman lays out a reliable road map for how to do all of the above on purpose.”―Jack Canfield, co-author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul® series and The Success Principles™.

    Does your lot in life have you down? Claim your history, own your power, and change your life! In this groundbreaking book, Tracee Dunblazier takes an in-depth look at your karmic relationships! What the heck is karma, though? We hear this word thrown around quite often, usually in a negative context to mean "You'll get what's coming to you." or the like.

    Now we're delving into how your relationship to this seemingly nebulous concept can actually affect your life, and we're saying that getting it together, karma-wise, will actually make life easier? Sounds like something we're ready to sign up for, and during your interview with Tracee, we're sure everyone listening will agree! These relationships are actually the repetitive patterns that position you in life. The restoration of every soul, and the systems that govern them, get an overhaul.

    Karma is not punishment and reward; it is the reassurance that we will inevitably experience all we are and all we have created for others through reincarnation and spiritual patterning. In this amazing interview, Tracee shares how this wisdom will inspire change on every level. You will understand what karma is and learn all the ways to reveal, accept, forgive, and transform your connections with others as we all move toward the divine.

  • Ep. 639 - The Learning Code’s Disruptive Innovation Transforms Learning | JW Wilson
    8-9-21 Allen Cardoza Interviews Coach JW Wilson
    http://answers.network
    https://www.thelearningcodeinstitute.com

    JW Wilson, founder of The Learning Code Institute and author of Cracking the Learning Code, states that study after study has shown that the greater the meaning in one's life, the faster he/she will learn. So, why doesn’t traditional education support this process? He points to the fact that traditional education’s focus only on “information” delivery is a major reason for the U.S. decline to 29th in the world in education (United Nation’s 2020 International Education Database). JW explains that by not allowing our children to access the deeper dimensions of what is meaningful in learning, we have thrust millions of children into a personal learning crisis.

    He believes that the methods used in the Learning Code have the ability to quickly transform the status quo, which is why it has been called a Disruptive Innovation. In order to find personal meaning and transform a person's existing neurological structures so they may turn new knowledge into memories, the Learning Code utilizes what JW terms, "The Cycle of Transformation". This new scientific approach involves a four-stage process: Stage 1 – Information, Stage 2 - Action, Stage 3 - Feedback, and Stage 4 - Incubation.

    Join us as JW shares the critical role each stage plays and why the Learning Code Science is quickly proving to be the missing piece in the field of education and behavioral change. As Dr. Jeanette Vos, Cofounder of the National Institute for Teaching Excellence so aptly expresses, "Cracking the Learning Code validates, from a scientific perspective, what I have discovered from my 30 years of research into the world’s most successful educational systems. This knowledge needs to be made available worldwide.”

    Leaders must routinely face challenges that are beyond their experience. In this space, they feel lost, confused, and overwhelmed. These doubts are shared by leaders across the globe but it is not “leader-like” to discuss such issues. Yet, leaders are not in their job because they have all the answers. They are on the job to find answers.

  • Ep. 635 - When the Lightbulb Goes ON! Helping Teenagers Find Their Life’s Passion | Paul Otis
    7-5-21 Allen Cardoza Interviews Paul Otis

    http://answers.network
    https://www.laketahoeprep.org

    Whether we remember them or not, we have all had an “aha” moment, a time when things just clicked or we finally understand something of importance to our lives. Maybe it was as simple as a math problem, perhaps it was when we made big decisions such as where to go to college or what career to pursue. Regardless of how it came about, everyone has had an “aha” moment that has shaped our lives.

    Anyone who has worked with adolescents knows that they often become lost when they are not motivated towards meeting personal goals. Paul Otis, Associate Head of School and Science Teacher at Lake Tahoe Preparatory School, explains, “Many times, those of us who are in the educational trenches, come across students who have experienced an “aha” moment. As a result, we observe them transition from a negative mindset to a positive self-direction one.”

    In our interview, Paul shares how those questions resulted in their own “aha” moment as a group. Rather than leaving it to chance, perhaps they could develop ways to more intentionally promote these moments of epiphany in our students. The outcome was the implementation of an interdisciplinary and holistic approach to promote student self-actualization, increase personal self-efficacy, and help them discover their life’s direction.
