CONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN WE THE SPECIES

Meet ARLAN FEILES…. I’m coming up on my 14th year as acentral Jersey journalist, slowly incorporating the music scene & AsburyPark into my field of dreams. Much of my musical leanings over the decadessince the sixties have been folk and oldies. Then, on a late spring day in2011, while on the job, I discovered Arlan Feiles in Asbury Park. Anold-fashioned glimmering epiphany; I was back to the future. Arlan embodies allthat is essential, meaningful, hopeful, poignant, and dreamy in his words andmusic. A great friendship. I almost went with him to the 50th Anniversary ofthe Selma to Montgomery March over the Edmund Pettus Bridge. That’s a specialfriendship; he invited me. Arlan was invited to attend that essential history.He is a caring, warm, dedicated, passionate soul with a wondrous talent. Anold-fashioned troubadour. I call him that often. A word I judiciously use todescribe Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Pete Seeger. Arlan is there. In thisinterview, he also discussed his new critically acclaimed release, record‘Diaspora.’ And so much more. Thinking back on this. I finally interviewed myfriend, Arlan Feiles.

CONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN WE THE SPECIES

Meet BRITTANY RACINE. “I’ve spent significant parts of myadult life circling around the world of real estate agents and the wholeprocess of buying that house. Why? Because it’s shrouded in mystery and fear.And then there was a bright incandescent light bulb across the Zoom divide inthe form of Brittany Racine, a luxury real estate agent in Michigan. No moremysteries. Brittany was delightful, hugely experienced, and passionate abouthelping homeowners and buyers navigate what I used to fear. Our interview was aperfect blend of myths, her vast knowledge, insightful strategies, traditionand her keen vision. Need I say if ever house buying? And Brittany lives a fewminutes away from my second favorite (after Rutgers) university, Michigan, inAnn Arbor. And we both patronized that deli in town.” Calvin

Meet DR DANISHA KEATING; “I’ve done nearly 500interviews/videos. I was never conflicted about what to talk about. UntilNOW.  Dr Danisha is wondrouslyaccomplished and qualified, passionate and experienced in helping speakers andauthors share their storied journey and actually get paid. I couldn’t wait toZoom with Dr Danisha.

Why the anticipation? I am a self-published author and havebeen living elements of her journey and mastery for a long time. It consumes mylife. And like virtually all of my self-published author ‘family’, we needDanisha’s expertise hugely. Am I dramatic enough?

 My conflict.Danisha’s early life is a future movie. From two years old, she lived withhomeschooling, then foster care, living in her car, finally getting to collegeand taking eight years for a bachelor's and then a PhD, and then authoringseveral books. But Danisha is coming back to talk early journey and fostercare. But now, her guiding authors and speakers to a new world. She iscaptivating.”   Calvin
