Circle Up & Get REAL Podcast

Dean McMurray is known as the Military Medium because of his accidental ability to connect with people who have crossed over. Dean is an internationally acclaimed psychic, medium, healer, dowser and ordained minister who lives in my hometown of Fargo, North Dakota.

Dean always considered himself the "king of the logicians," as his military training would have him believe that if you can't shoot it, eat it, drive it, or do a form on it, it couldn't possibly be real.

Imagine his shock when his deceased grandmother visited him in the middle of the night.

During this interview, Dean tells the story of how he discovered this gift and what it means for him and his clients and others he can help connect with their deceased loved ones.

Many people see Post Traumatic Stress as a disorder mostly experienced by combat veterans. But today's guest, Scott Geiselhart, sheds new light on this subject from his perspective as a volunteer firefighter.

Scott spent more than 20 years as a small-town fire fighter, and didn't realize the toll his experiences rescuing and saving - and sometimes losing - people he actually knew would take on him.

In this interview, Scott shares his story that took him down a very dark path until he discovered what was happening to him, and found relief in the form of what some might consider an alternative healing modality.

If you'd like to connect with Scott, visit his website at https://www.seeingincoloragain.com/ or reach out to him by text/phone at 218-849-4948 or by email at [email protected]. He is committed to helping anyone who feels like he felt when the world was gray, to see in color again.

Jon Walters used a new term (to me) during this conversation: The Reality of Fatality.

We talked about a lot of things, not the least of which included Jon's recent belief that, at 34 years old, he truly believed he had peaked, and his best days were behind him.

Through a series of twists and turns, both personally and professionally, Jon shares his story, including the emotions and feelings that, as a man, he was trained and conditioned not only not to express, but also not to feel.

While Jon's story is still being lived (as are all of our stories), Jon shares some of the very fresh and raw revelations and awarenesses he's going through, including the formation of a Men's Circle where he's learning to hold space not as a leader, but as a witness to the stories and emotions and feelings which make all of us human.

Find Jon on all the socials. He's JonFromFargo on Instagram, Jon Walters on Facebook, and JonOfTheNorth on TikTok. He'll also answer a good old-fashioned email at [email protected].

Whoever said that law was stuffy and scary never met Tom Kading. Tom is the founder of Fargo Patent & Business Law, and he is working to change the perspective of his field, professionally and culturally.

Tom's pre-law studies were in engineering, and he enjoys putting the pieces of an idea or a concept together, which serves him very well as a business and patent attorney.

In this interview, you will learn how Tom's mission and vision are attracting employees, partners, and clients who share his family-oriented and community-enhancing vision.

If you're looking for a career in law or a lawyer who cares about your business and its culture, email Tom: [email protected] or find him on LinkedIn or Facebook.

When you are willing to do what it takes to achieve or experience your true desires, even when the emotion you said it in wears off, you're committed to that future.

In this conversation, Melissa Simanek and I talk about how her life has shifted since she made that decision. She shows that once you make a decision, the universe conspires on your behalf. A life of your own design proves that first you make the decision, and then the decision makes you. It's not what happens to you, it's who you become in the process.

The course to which Melissa is referring is the REAL Me: Intensive course. You can find more information about it at https://www.enlightenedleadershiplab.com/REAL-ME.

You will find Melissa on Facebook as GettingReal Melissa and on Instagram as the_mrs_simanek.

 

The Beach Boys were on to something all those years ago with their beachy summertime music. But there's more to it than a great beat.   What are we doing to keep our vibe high? Do we even know what that means?   Today I talk about a lot of resources including Spiral Dynamics (I listened to the audio version of Spiral Dynamics Integral, but you can find lots of info about this concept in various locations), Esther and Jerry Hicks's book "Ask and It Is Given," David Hawkins book "Power vs. Force," and also A Course in Miracles.   If you are interested in having these kinds of conversations on a regular basis, check out https://www.enlightenedleadershiplab.com/  (Mondays from 3-4:30 central) or ask about the REAL EA membership group (Wednesdays from 4-5 central).   You can learn more about the REAL Me: Intensive course I mentioned at https://www.enlightenedleadershiplab.com/REAL-ME. We are taking applications now for our fall session.   Also, check out my other podcast, Enlightened Leadership wherever you get your podcasts, or you can see it at the above link. There Chris Angell and I are talking about the conversations we have in the Enlightened Leadership Lab on Mondays.
