Arroe Collins: Unplugged & Totally Uncut

From the heart of "mossy, briny, piss-colored" 1970s Times Square to the heights of MTV News and the A&R suites of Atlantic Records, Tim Sommer has lived a dozen lives in the service of music. Dispatches From the Kingdom of Outsiders is a defiant, soulful map of the ephemeral nation built by the lonely and the weird young people who found their first true home in a Sex Pistols 45 or a picture of David Bowie. Part memoir, part high-octane cultural criticism, this collection documents a vanished era when knowledge was precious currency and a T-shirt was a flare sent up to find fellow survivors. Whether he's trying to get the Clash to sign a picture of the Beatles, sitting in a dorm room with U2 or explaining why "Wooly Bully" is the heaviest song in history, Sommer writes with the infectious "bizarrely certain" passion of the 16-year-old office boy he once was. This is more than a book about rock and roll, it is a celebration of the "Kingdom" where admission is free, and outsiders finally belong.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Do motivational speakers really have the right words and thoughts to change our wandering paths?  Plus…what’s up with dogs and that damn sniffer always catching a whiff or one billion of a nearby tree?    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…

Pod Crashing 492 with AJ Pasciuti from the podcast Combat Stories Amatangelo "AJ" Pasciuti, a former Marine Force Recon Scout Sniper and host of the Combat Story podcast, will release his debut book, Darkhorse: Harnessing Hidden Potential in War and Life, with HarperCollins Leadership Darkhorse is my tribute to the men and women who shaped my life, the Marines I served alongside, and the friends I lost along the way," said AJ. "It's drawn from harrowing, brutally honest accounts of combat, quiet moments of reflection in the face of failure, and a call to action for what comes next. Within these pages, you'll find pain, resilience, leadership, and the kind of hard-earned lessons only war can teach; lessons that ultimately point to something deeper: hope. Darkhorse is about people. About trust built through vulnerability. About the brotherhood that endures beyond the battlefield. And about one question that still keeps me up at night: How do we leave it better than we found it? Join me on this journey and harness the hidden potential of becoming a Darkhorse."Darkhorse serves as both an impactful memoir and a call to action. It's a must-read for warriors, leaders, and anyone eager to grasp the strength found in serving others and the boundless potential that resides within us all.

Her story reads like a movie. The perfect life. The perfect marriage. The perfect illusion. Venus Morris Griffin seemed to be living a fairy tale: married to a charming and charismatic man, raising six beautiful children, and crafting a life that sparkled with promise. But beneath this enchanting facade lurked a dark reality. One late-night phone call from a teenage prostitute changed everything. What followed was a tumultuous journey, marked by both public and private humiliation: her husband’s shocking arrest, a staggering 45-year prison sentence, financial devastation, and the overwhelming burden of starting anew with her six children all depending on her strength. Yet this was not the first time Venus faced betrayal. Her childhood was a battleground, marked by watching her mother succumb to addiction, igniting a lifelong struggle against abandonment, silence, and the desperate need for love and validation.With raw honesty, vulnerability, and courage, Venus shares her story of resilience, faith and forgiveness. She chronicles her journey from shattered dreams to reclaiming her life as a self-made multimillionaire and powerhouse in the real estate industry. Today, Venus is one of the top-earning real estate agents in the Greater Augusta, Georgia, area.  The Other Side of Perfect is a harrowing story with an uplifting message. Venus speaks directly to anyone who feels overwhelmed by or stuck in a bad situation. “If you are reading this while carrying shame that isn’t yours, questioning your worth, or wondering if anything good can come from something this broken—I want you to know this: You are not powerless. You are not finished. And you are not too late.”
