CONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN WE THE SPECIES

Meet WANDA & CHARLES STANSBURY;

“I just read ‘The Purposeful Marriage.’ I’m married 48years. Why would I read this book? But, from the first page, I was drawn intoWanda and Charles’ journey of fulfillment, commitment and honesty. Their wordsof love and respect resonate with simplicity, thoughtfulness, and timelesswisdom. I took lots of notes. I know about relationships. My first marriagefailed. And as I’m reading their marriage builders advice, I’m realizing Ididn’t do some of those things back then. They were so simple, beautiful andbasic. I wondered what might’ve been if I had ‘The Purposeful Marriage’ back inthe early seventies? Their book of wondrous spirituality, ideas, and love isfor the ages. It works so well. A must-read modern guide.” Calvin Schwartz

CONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN WE THE SPECIES

MEET CATHERINE ASTL: “How often I speak about the universe,circles of concentric commonality, the American landscape and history, andbeing an indie author. Firstly, a few weeks ago, I met Kae Wagner, best-sellingauthor and founder of Bold Authors Network. A new expansive world for me as arecently published Kirkus Star author. In that first meeting I attended, therewas Catherine Astl. We connected. Today, I interviewed Catherine. For me, she’sa part of a brave new world as a best-selling author in Great Smoky MountainsHistorical Fiction. I think I’m worldly enough. But not. I know so little aboutthose mountains and their preciously fascinating people. Catherine is aprolific storyteller. I’m engrossed as we speak in her ‘Home of the Soul,’ anovel of the Walker Sisters of Little Greenbrier Cove. Catherine’s writing is socolorful, detailed, and the product of intensive research. So evident. Ourinterview is a journey into Americana and history. Catherine is aquintessential storyteller. A magic carpet. And I finally understand whatmoonshine is.”  Calvin

BIO: Host of Going in Blind with Zach Tidwell

Zach Tidwell is a completely blind Marine Corps veteran,writer, speaker, entrepreneur, and athlete who lost his sight in 2019 to asuicide attempt. When he was taken off of life support, he awoke to find thatthe bullet hadn’t killed him, but it had taken all of his sight and hearing inone ear instead. But he refused to become a bump on a log and has entirelyredefined himself in the time since. Today he’s a self-taught, award-winningsoftware developer making the digital world a more accessible place foreveryone. He skis, rock climbs, whitewater kayaks, and even competes inBrazilian Jiu-Jitsu against able-bodied opponents to show others that anythingis possible. And he’s grinding through the second draft of a memoir that diveseverything from the suicide attempt through the highs, lows, and lessons thathave brought him to where he is today— sharing his story in hopes of savinglives and getting conversations started around the tougher subject’s societytypically avoids.
