Do you believe in resurrections?  They happen every day.  But are you willing to listen, to participate, to explore and find newer ways to understand your personal journey? This podcast isn’t about what we study and see through the eyes of religion. My Boy Boy Ernie spoke with me every chance we had together.  But this isn’t about resurrecting a spiritual brother of nearly 34 years.  This resurrection is that of a writing instrument. Verbal documentation of what some may call a vision quest.  Trusting the great mysteries of life.  Tools are handed to us to carve out each expectation.  This tool was laid to rest inside a forest floor.  To experience the elements of reality while connecting with a universe that unconditionally shares its stories.  But whose writing it?  Welcome to The Resurrection…   Close:    The Resurrection is a true story.  Learn more about this forest and My Boy Boy Ernie on Arroe.net.  His story, journey and new path with a writing instrument are available on the podcast The Lyrics From Ernie’s Forest. Future episodes of this podcast will focus on the transition of materialistic value to that of an authentic storyteller.  The ice storms, a record setting 11 inches of snow, the fear of walking to the grave site to find nothing. The Resurrection.  Faith, hope, forgiveness and discovery. What lessons will the writing instrument bring back to the surface of walking forward?  Let it rise above our tears.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Does having cramps mean what you think it means and if it means what we think it means why are we leaving something behind from our behind?  Plus…setting free that massive amount of air in your gut in public…which actors and other leaders have faced that curtain call?   I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

In his powerful debut memoir, beloved comedian Murray Hill (Somebody Somewhere) opens up for the first time about how his painful past led to his unwavering commitment to spread joy-one rimshot at a timeMurray Hill, the trailblazing comic and self-proclaimed "hardest working middle-aged man in show business," has been delighting audiences around the world with his signature blend of campy humor and subversive showmanship for three decades. Much like Fred Rococo, his character on HBO's Somebody Somewhere, Murray radiates relentless positivity and an indomitable spirit as entertaining as it is inspiring.Behind the one-liners lies a deeper truth. Growing up in a conservative New England household where abuse ran rampant, Murray found refuge in showbiz memoirs and watching old-school comedians on The Tonight Show. These tales of survival, in the face of maltreatment and discrimination, offered him hope and the possibility of reinvention through the world of entertainment.After leaving home, Murray began the slow process of finding and defining his identity as a newly emancipated adult and queer, boundary-pushing artist. It wasn't always easy. Murray drank to escape his past, and masked his depression with alcohol. His drinking spiraled into a mental health crisis that nearly cost him his life. But with loving support from his chosen family and community, Murray found not only his people but himself.Warm, fearless, and laugh-out-loud funny, Showbiz! is Murray Hill's story of survival, reinvention, and finding joy against the odds. Because when life hands you trauma, you turn it into a tight five.

SONS 2 THE GRAVE, the powerful and thought-provoking film written and produced by Lynne Stoltz of Canadian Production Company "Have Faith Productions," continues to reach audiences through major streaming platforms, including Apple TV+, Amazon Prime, Tubi, YouTube Movies & TV, and Roku.  The film’s continued audience response includes a reported 7.8/10 viewer rating on IMDb, reflecting ongoing interest in its powerful story and examination of gun violence and the circumstances surrounding it. At the heart of SONS 2 THE GRAVE is a simple but profound idea: “We’re born sons, and we die sons. Somewhere in between is the story.”  The film follows 18-year-old basketball phenom Marcus Jennings, whose promising life is tragically cut short when he is murdered after midnight on a footbridge that divides two very different worlds—the homes of the wealthy and politically connected and the poverty-stricken community of Hudson. What follows is a story of choices, fear, loyalty, and silence.  Marcus’ friends know more than they are willing to say. Their silence gives power to a killer while placing an emotional burden on them that can follow them for the rest of their lives. SONS 2 THE GRAVE does more than tell the story of a young man lost to gun violence. It examines the complex environment surrounding violence and the difficult choices people make when confronted with fear.  Celebrity and status can attract the good, the bad and the ugly, often making it difficult to recognize the difference until it is too late. Ultimately, however, the characters are connected by something far more universal: fear.  Fear of staying, Fear of leaving, and fear of appearing weak. Through Marcus’ story, the film asks audiences to consider how fear and silence can influence decisions—and how those decisions can have consequences that extend far beyond a single moment. Written and produced by Lynne Stoltz, SONS 2 THE GRAVE is intended to spark meaningful conversations about gun violence, accountability, community, and the circumstances that can put young lives at risk.  The film’s availability across multiple streaming platforms gives new audiences an opportunity to discover a story that remains deeply relevant while encouraging viewers to look beyond the headlines and consider the human choices behind the violence. The shooting of seventeen-year-old Cashie Auguste in Toronto this week has once again brought to the forefront, something has to be done to make sure that Cashie and others are not just names on a long and growing list.

Carlos Gutierrez has been an influential figure in business and politics for over 35 years, but his route to global leadership was far from the well-worn path of the Ivy League M.B.A.In fact, he never graduated from college and began his life in America without knowing a word of English. When he was only six years old, his family fled the Cuban revolution with almost nothing, travelling to Miami and ultimately emigrating to Mexico.In SHEER WILL (St. Martin's Press; Oct 6, 2026) Gutierrez shares how he began working for Kellogg's selling cereal out of a van, and climbed the ranks until he became the youngest CEO in the company's hundred-year history. He went on to serve as U.S. Secretary of Commerce for the Bush administration, and later held executive roles in nearly a dozen major companies.Despite his humble beginnings and a lifelong struggle with untreated ADHD-he was not diagnosed with the disorder until age 65-he was able to overcome any challenge and reach incredible levels of success.Gutierrez credits his considerable accomplishments to his relentless positivity and drive to be the best at anything he does. Above all, he holds a steadfast belief that any obstacle should be seen as an opportunity. His working-class background gave him more empathy and appreciation for sacrifice than most business leaders possess. ADHD, while significantly debilitating-particularly in a career track that rewards consistency and organizational skills-granted him a formidable talent for problem solving and creative thinking, as well as the ability to take bold action with little regard for the risk involved.Packed with entertaining stories and practical advice, Gutierrez relates his complete journey from his ambitious youth to becoming the most unlikely leader in the history of the U.S. Cabinet, including:. How to earn trust before asking people to follow you: when Gutierrez first tried to rally Kellogg de México's shop floor workers, he came armed with charts showing how badly the plant was underperforming. He later realized data alone would not move people who did not yet trust him. By returning without charts, acknowledging management's role, and continuing to show up, he began building the trust that helped fuel the turnaround.. Persuasion is about connection, not pressure: as a young door-to-door magazine salesman, Gutierrez spent weeks making zero sales before realizing he was talking too fast and trying to close too quickly. Once he slowed down, practiced his pitch, focused on eye contact, cadence, and tone, he began succeeding because people respond when they feel understood, not pushed.. Say yes before you feel fully ready-but know when the job has changed: when offered a major sales leadership role, Gutierrez immediately accepted despite having no management experience. His boss reminded him that his new job was no longer to sell, but to lead people. That shift, from individual performer to people-first leader, became a defining career lesson.. Use restlessness as a signal to grow: Gutierrez writes candidly about ADHD, hyperfocus, and his lifelong need for challenge. After mastering magazine sales, boredom set in quickly, so he moved to Tampico to study his father's fruit-export business up close. For Gutierrez, boredom was not a dead end; it was a signal to find the next learning curve.In today's rapidly shifting economic landscape, SHEER WILL is the inspiring story of ambition and courage in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. As Gutierrez writes in the book, "Artificial intelligence can do many things, but I don't believe it will ever replace the human drive to conquer challenges, seize opportunities, and deliver unanticipated outcomes. Those uniquely human attributes will remain the cornerstones of leadership and success, no matter what technology brings."
