Danley and Friends

The internet can be a beautiful thing. I met Wyatt through Reddit. He posted looking to establish a mastermind group to solve spinal cord injury. We have shared articles, adaptations, and advice. He does not like to think through the lens of his injury however. He only told the story to give context to this conversation. Otherwise, he chooses not to focus on it and has set out to create a new reality:

Born in CA, moved to a very rural town in Colorado from 8-16. It was a super small town but it was wild. Looking back on it I’m pretty sure it’s where all the criminals went to hide out from the surrounding cities. Started getting into drugs (just weed and mushrooms) at 14, but also watched my best friend smoke crack.

Moved back to CA at 16. Got into harder drugs. Mostly party drugs. Started hanging out with a real rough crowd. Stabbed at 20 which led to the injury.

Spent the last 18 years experimenting with psychedelics and studying theology (Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, the occult, Zoroastrianism), etc, philosophy, and quantum physics trying to figure out the nature of reality.

The Israeli–Palestinian conflict is one of the world's most enduring conflicts, with the Israeli occupation of the West Bankand the Gaza Strip reaching 54 years of conflict.

Within Israeli and Palestinian society, the conflict generates a wide variety of views and opinions. This highlights the deep divisions which exist not only between Israelis and Palestinians, but also within each society. A hallmark of the conflict has been the level of violence witnessed for virtually its entire duration. Fighting has been conducted by regular armies, paramilitary groups, terror cells, and individuals. Casualties have not been restricted to the military, with a large number of civilian fatalities on both sides. There are prominent international actors involved in the conflict. A majority of Jews see the Palestinians' demand for an independent state as just, and think Israel can agree to the establishment of such a state.[16]The majority of Palestinians and Israelis in the West Bank and Gaza Strip have expressed a preference for a two-state solution

Previous Danley and Friends guest, Rabbi Rick Kellner returns to give us a brief overview of the conflict, and shares his personal experiences in Israel.

For more than a decade, Douglas A. Boneparth has helped his clients negotiate sales of businesses; establish legacies for future generations; purchase new homes; pay off debt and achieve financial independence. But while servicing the needs of his diverse book of business, he noticed a gaping hole in the financial services industry: financial planning and advice for Millennials, his peers. So while everyone else was chasing old money to invest, Douglas started finding young people to invest in.

With a passion to improve the financial lives of those around him, Douglas founded Bone Fide Wealth, a firm dedicated to providing both effective and relatable advice to the city’s hardest working young professionals. Through his personal experiences with student debt, higher education, career development, professional achievement and entrepreneurship, Douglas shares a perspective that very few financial advisors in the industry can. Douglas then draws upon the real life examples of his firm’s clientele, offering financial solutions that are as creative as they are practical.

To financially educate and empower Millennials, Douglas speaks across New York City, including engagements at New York University, Fordham University and The King’s College and partners with organizations like Experian, SoFiand Blue Nile. He is active in w!se, a New York City non-profit that teaches financial life skills to high school students.

Douglas received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Florida and his Master of Business Administration from the NYU Stern School of Business, with concentrations in finance and management. He enjoys playing tennis and volleyball, keeping his menswear fresh and watching college football with Heather, Hazel and Ruby, his wife and two daughters. Go Gators!

Team Chivington's mission is to raise awareness and funding for our returning combat veterans who may have TBI ( Traumatic Brain Injuries ) and\or PTSD. Doug’s sons, one of which is an active service member currently deployed overseas and the other is a former service member who was injured in an IED Blast, provided the ultimate purpose behind this effort and Doug graciously chose Resurrecting Lives Foundation as the beneficiary.

Resurrecting Lives Foundation’s mission is to coordinate and advocate for the successful transition to a post-military career and life for Veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

We will be posting special awareness information , training updates and our challenges, successes and actual cycling events.

Please join us in this amazing opportunity to support our veterans and their families !

See you on the roads !

For the first time, I interview my wife in her creative capacity. We talk about Ohio Drip - our ice dyeing/tie dye business, Seams and Shine - Kelsey's sewing moniker, and how she got into creating. We discuss the influence of her mother, and a little about their journey in sewing together, including how they worked on a special project for our wedding. And we talk about the future of Ohio Drip and where we'd like to see it go.

A solo episode check in - I give a brief background of my life to give context to discussion about how I'm doing, how the podcast has been going, the Palestine/Israel situation, the big questions on my mind lately, and the things I have been enjoying - like Ohio Drip, the tie dye brand my wife Kelsey and I created.

My Mom tells my birth story, talks about becoming a mother, and tells stories from my childhood. She discusses the difficulties of being a single mother, and hardships she faced along the way. We also discuss her relationship with her Mom. Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there!

After the video of George Floyd came out, social media was a wild place. I got into a classic debate in the comments section with a lady on Facebook and before it got heated, I had a moment of clarity. What if we talked this out? What if I had a conversation with her like a person? So I proposed that and this is the result. As you will discover, we did not meet eye to eye, but we showed that two people can disagree and have a civil discussion about it. That conversation led to others which led to this podcast. As we recently heard the Derek Chauvin verdict, I thought it was appropriate to throw it back to this convo.
