  • Ep. 719 - Tomorrow Together: Essays of Hope, Healing, and Humanity | David Dye
    Are you looking for hope with a dash of humor and humanity? The twenty-first century hasn’t started the way many expected. We confront a potent mix of global pandemic, climate change, the resurgence of authoritarianism, white nationalism, polarization, and war that once again threatens to consume the planet. It can feel frustrating and hopeless.

    But there is hope because we have the resources, wisdom, and most importantly: we have one another.

    Tomorrow Together: Essays of Hope, Healing and Humanity, is a deeply moving collection of personal essays from David Dye, the best-selling author of Winning Well and Courageous Conversations. Featuring insightful, poignant, and engaging storytelling, Tomorrow Together will reconnect you to the beauty and pain of our shared humanity, the wisdom of the natural world, and how together, we can build a better tomorrow.

  • Ep. 716 - The Peaceful Parenting (R)evolution: Changing the World by Changing How We Parent| Kiva Schuler
    How can parents best meet the complex needs of their children in these complicated times? Inside Kiva Schuler’s new book, The Peaceful Parenting (R)evolution: Changing the World by Changing How We Parent, you'll find a radically different approach to parenting, where we stop asking so many questions about how to get children to behave and examine our behaviors, expectations, and values as parents.

    Embracing the idea that our children deserve our honesty, vulnerability, and leadership, you'll discover a powerful framework for raising your family with integrity and confidence. Giving and receiving the trust, communication, cooperation, respect, and joy that every parent and child deserves, ultimately allows our children to become the leaders our future so desperately needs. A groundbreaking examination of parenting, written by the founder of the world's leading parent coaching institute.

  • Ep. 715 - Pancakes for Roger: A Mentorship Guide for Slaying Dragons | Susan L. Combs
    In a world that can feel shaky and uncertain at times, one fact holds true: nobody gets anywhere alone. Susan L. Combs has learned that lesson many times over, and she’s held onto the advice that has guided her on her journey—one that’s taken her from a tiny town in Missouri to the hustle of New York City. She’s faced immense grief and fostered immense growth, personally and professionally. Through it all, she leaned on guidance from mentors in her life.

    One of those key mentors was her father, Roger. He wore many hats: as a judge, a veteran and Two-Star Major General, a leader in his community, a loving husband . . . and, as we learn in this book, one hell of a dad. Though he passed away in 2018, his legacy lives on in Pancakes for Roger and beyond, as a portion of the proceeds from this book benefits the University of Missouri School of Law Veterans Clinic in his honor.

    In Pancakes for Roger—a series of quick, straightforward snapshots delivered with no fluff and a whole lot of heart—Susan offers lessons from Roger and others so that you can lean on them, too, as you set out to slay your own dragons.
