My wife and I had the privilege of hosting James Corl at our home as he continues his remarkable 150-mile trek across New York Senate District 50.

In this candid sit-down interview, James shares the highs, lows, and lessons from his campaign journey since we first spoke back in March. From the early days of launching this ambitious walk to the realities of connecting with voters one mile at a time, he opens up about what it truly takes to run a grassroots campaign with heart and determination.

New York desperately needs real change and James Corl is proving he’s willing to go the extra mile to deliver it.

Take a listen to his inspiring story, fresh insights, and vision for the future of our district.

I’m joined by two wonderful guests. In this episode.

Gina Pietropaoli who is a holistic energy healer and owner of a wellness business in Rochester, New York — and she’s the daughter of a recent guest Mary Helen.

With her is Kolein Carlson, a spiritual counselor, author, and artist based in New Mexico.

Together they created Power to Manifest in Six Days — a powerful online program that combines energy work, mindset clearing, journaling, meditations, and astrology to help people manifest faster. The results they’ve seen in just six days have been impressive.

Their upcoming class that starts on June 14th, so we’ll circle back in a few weeks and talk about the experience together.

In this episode, I sit down with Peter Tentindo a guitarist, vocalist, keyboardist, producer, and music teacher with over 25 years in the trenches of the music industry.

Peter has led bands for Jimi Jamison of Survivor, opened for rock giants like Alice Cooper, Queensrÿche, Gin Blossoms, Starship, and even The Jacksons on their 50th Anniversary Tour. As half of the high-energy pop/rock duo Venus Mars Project with Jacyn Tremblay, he delivered catchy anthems like “Hands of Time” and “Jump In.”

Today, you’ll find him tearing it up on the road with The Brothers Doobie (A Doobie Brothers Tribute), Long Time Gone (Crosby, Stills & Nash Tribute), Voices Of Rock (Arena Rock), and ForJoury (A Tribute to Foreigner & Journey).

We dive deep into Peter’s musical journey — from his first steps in music to sharing the stage with legends. He shares unforgettable stories about opening for The Jacksons, working with Jimi Jamison, his favorite venues he’s played, wild food adventures on the road, and even the movie locations he’s filmed at. We also talk about AI-generated music and break down some of his favorite guitarists.

Whether you’re a rock fan, a tribute band enthusiast, or an aspiring musician, this conversation is packed with inspiration, laughs, and real-talk from a guy who’s lived the rock ‘n’ roll dream.

🎸 Tune in for epic stories, road wisdom, and pure rock energy!

In this powerful episode of Best Radio, we sit down with Lindsay Gaffney from The Organic Earthling to share their incredible journey of resilience and natural healing.

James was diagnosed with a 17mm pituitary brain tumor that threatened to change everything doctors recommended brain surgery. Instead, Lindsay and James turned to holistic approaches, including high-quality CBD, dietary shifts, and plant-based remedies. The results? The tumor shrunk dramatically, allowing James to avoid surgery entirely. Their story is a testament to self-advocacy, informed wellness choices, and the healing power of nature.

They also open up about founding The Organic Earthling — their mission-driven business dedicated to premium organic products, herbal education, and CBD. Plus, hear the exciting news: Lindsay and James will be featured in the upcoming TV show Legacy Makers!

We wrap up by discussing the Marshall BioResources Peaceful Vigil (May 28–30, 2026, in North Rose, NY), where they’re raising awareness to end medical testing on beagles and advocate for better animal welfare.

This episode blends hope, real-world health insights, entrepreneurship, and compassionate advocacy. Whether you’re exploring natural remedies, CBD education, or ways to make an impact, this conversation will inspire you.

For the 10th episode milestone, I’m joined by one of the coolest people I know my cousin Katie Million, Director of Women’s National Team Programs for USA Women’s Hockey.

Katie takes us through her remarkable journey: from her early days and schooling, to her unforgettable experiences in Lake Placid with the 1980 Miracle on Ice team, her leadership as Commissioner of the WCHA, and most recently, helping lead the team to Olympic Gold in Milan this past February.

We talk family, perseverance, breaking barriers in women’s sports, and what it takes to build winning programs at the highest level.

Whether you’re a hockey fan, love inspiring stories of strong women in leadership, or just appreciate incredible careers, this conversation is packed with insight and pride.

This conversation with author Daniel Crisafulli was a fun, wide-ranging, and deeply insightful one! We dive into the great mystery of death, the power of dreams, the role of psychedelics in expanding consciousness, and even Dan’s experiences touring with his band.

I really enjoyed this open-hearted chat. Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one or simply curious about what might come next after life, Dan’s perspective — and his book — offers comfort, curiosity, and a fresh way to reframe mortality. Becoming “death positive” doesn’t mean dwelling on the end… it means learning to live more fully right now.

In this episode, we sit down with Ricky Susino to dive deep into his journey building a successful power washing business from the ground up. Ricky shares the real talk on how he got started, the unexpected challenges he faced, the lessons learned about hustle, customer service, and scaling operations, and the practical advice he’d give anyone thinking about launching their own service-based business.

We also touch on New York State politics we jump into the massive solar energy boom sweeping the state.

And because no conversation is complete without it, we cap things off with our unfiltered thoughts on the UFO/alien files.

Raw, honest, and wide-ranging this is one you don’t want to miss. Whether you’re a fellow entrepreneur, a politics watcher, a solar skeptic or enthusiast, or just someone who loves speculating about what’s really out there, tune in now!

We explore the extraordinary careers of Tony Mendez and Jonna Mendez the husband and wife team who both served as CIA Chief of Disguise. From Tony's Argo operation in Iran to Jonna's mask technology tricking George H. W. Bush in the Oval Office.

We also examine the long history of world doppelgangers for protection and connect it to modern claims about Biden wearing a mask or using body doubles. Real spy tech or wild conspiracy? Decide for yourself!

I sat down with a remarkable 95-year-old woman Mary Helen Colloca who has lived through nearly a century of American history. From growing up during the Great Depression in the 1930s, to raising a family and witnessing world-changing events like World War II, the Civil Rights Movement, the moon landing, and the dawn of the digital age — she shares her firsthand memories with warmth, humor, and sharp insight.

We talk about what it was like being the only girl in a house with six boisterous brothers, the simple joys and hardships of life before smartphones and social media, and the timeless wisdom she’s gathered along the way. Her stories are equal parts entertaining, moving, and profoundly inspiring.

Whether you’re young or old, this conversation will leave you with a deeper appreciation for the past, a fresh perspective on the present, and practical life lessons you can carry forward.
