Second part of AUTHENTIC VOICE, Ulrich Bohnefeld speaking with Kurt B Johnson - Founder of Restaurant-Bar Shawbucks/New York - AND - founder of his new podcast CHANGE POINT - we are going on talking about Changes in Life and how to grow with them and overcome old programming to see with a new perception into your REAL TRUE YOU ....
I had an experience early in my life in which I was written off. My parents were told I wouldn't function in a normal society. Not only did I function but I actually thrived. Since this time my goal has become clear to share this experience and lessons with others so that they can not only survive but also thrive regardless of who has written them off or told them they couldn't do something.
What allowed this transformation to happen within me was the realization that I was not defined by other people's fears or judgments.
What I hope is to assist people in escaping the imprisonment resulting from other people's judgments and fears and more importantly the imprisonment from their own fears and judgments.
At the age of 20 I survived a pharmaceutical concentration camp (Insane asylum) that left me with a third grade reading level and an IQ below 70. During this incarceration I went from 165 lb down to 111 lb in less than 5 weeks. After losing a year of my life from this crisis I went on to be a carpenter and eventually a union carpenter. I have built everything from houses, commercial buildings to Highway Bridges.
At age 29 Big Pharma saved my life with chemotherapy. I would not be here today without this treatment. This all happened in November 1994 two weeks after I signed my lease with DJ DC to build Shawbucks Inc.a bar, restaurant and nightclub located in Downtown Jamestown New York. I was diagnosed with testicular cancer in my left testicle. I immediately went under surgery followed by four rounds of five day week long treatments of chemo at Roswell Park in Buffalo New York. The cancer had spread into lymph nodes near my kidney. Fortunately was able to open Shawbucks March 31,1995 and still going.
I believe there is a cure for cancer, chronic illness and mental illness. I believe the cure for these diseases precedes the disease. It's lifestyle and the mindset to go after what you truly want in life and enjoying the process.
One of my true reasons for podcasting is I would love to develop a Virtual and a Physical location within my building Shawbucks I now own that would choose to meet the basic needs of the people and planet with the highest and greatest information, products and services within health, wealth and happiness. Another reason I enjoy having conversations with people who have made successful changes or overcome obstacles when others told them it wasn’t possible. I Also enjoy people who have encouraged people when they didn't feel it was possible.I enjoy the topics of mind, body and spirit.
Welmar/ Plenertude are my new bussiness partners. We are going to put Plenertude in the Shawbucks building.
