Alyssa and Gabbi embraced entrepreneurship during the Pandemic of 2020. They both just graduated from college into a workforce that was in a hiring freeze! Instead of waiting for an opportunity to show up for them, they created opportunities for themselves by starting their own business doing what they went to school for and what they are passionate about!

These talented beauties inspire me with their opportunistic mentality and excitement for their journey that they call “Business Butterflies”

I believe in their talent and professionalism and can personally speak for their ability to deliver quality service because they designed my amazing logo for this podcast, which I am very proud of!!

Please follow them on all their social media handles which you can find on their website.

Senior Franklin from Ghana and Bev met and became friends through LinkedIn. Their random interaction lead to this podcast interview which took place inside a limousine.

In this interview they discuss the difference between Humans and People, the value of true friendship, and the importance of building meaningful relationships and bridges.

Although Senior is young, his ideals of humanity is spoken with much wisdom. He is a man with a big heart and he has BIG DREAMS in which he hopes to accomplish while he is here on American soil, then ultimately bring back to his home in Africa.

Although they are from different worlds and from different generations, they learn a lot about each other in this interview and discover they have much in common.

The limousine that the interview took place in courtesy of Paul Obu, business owner of Blessed Limos in Lilburn, GA. Their service is highly recommended. Check them out at:

I invited Dr. Kari-Lyn Sakuma to come on the show to share her 2020 PANDEMIC experience as a Public Health Educator. After we stroll down memory lane of our college years together at The University of Southern California, she walks us through her academic journey that lead her to her recent Promotion and Tenure! Congratulations Kari!

With all the sudden change and stress that many people in her community were going through during Quarantine, she found comfort, balance and activity to keep her busy during a period of INSOMNIA....in the process of sewing straight lines.

When she couldn't sleep and with the lack of access to regular coping mechanisms of stress, she created a beautiful intricately designed QUILT out of the scraps left over from the community's efforts to make thousands of masks for the public, teachers and healthcare workers.

The process gave her relief and focus knowing that the control of sewing straight lines would result in a product that would have beautiful meaning to her family in the end.

Thank you Kari for your service in educating our community. Your work is important, relevant, and very much appreciated!

"BE PASSIONATE"

Dr. Teresa Palos is a passionate teacher at El Camino College in Torrance CA. I had the privilege of experiencing her Biology and Microbiology classes back in 2006 and am very grateful that I had the opportunity to take her class at a community college. I truly believe the quality of the education I got from her teaching was just as good, if not, better than any 4 year University education.

In this episode, she walks us through her science journey that lead her to her passion for teaching, which began with a diagnosis of Scarlet Fever 3 weeks before her High School Graduation.

I also share what I remember about her style of teaching that fueled my passion for Biology, Microbiology, and bacteria. She truly is one of the BEST teachers I ever had and I invited her on the show to have the opportunity to express my gratitude.

Thank you to all the teachers out there and people who work in the medical field for all the hard work you do, especially during the pandemic and thereafter!

Bev Matayoshi

Aaron Dunne, inspired me to put attending a Dragon Con event on my bucket list when I first moved to Atlanta, Georgia. Aaron is a passionate character with a hybrid accent from Wales and Ireland. He landed in Atlanta, GA in the early 90's where he searched for his band and crew through an early internet science fiction fan community. But it wasn't until he settled into the city when he discovered Dragon Con when his cable was installed and he saw the event mentioned on local tv. He was immediately hooked and over the years his sci-fi fanhood evolved into being a director for many of the tracks for his favorite shows, starting with the 5 season Fox TV show SLIDERS aired from 1995-2000. Since then he has not missed a single Dragon Con in 28 years! Not even a perforated stomach ulcer and a liquid diet stopped him from attending, until the Pandemic hit and the virtual realm hindered his enthusiasm. He did reveal that there are plans for somewhat of an in person event in the making for 2021 but the plans are not set in stone and probably will not be up to the way that it was pre-pandemic. There is hope as more people become vaccinated that the event will be as big as it was again, probably not this year but hopefully next.

You can check out the event on the website:

Jessica and I grew up in the same town Kaneohe, Hawaii on the island of O’ahu but came from two different worlds. By the time I was off to Los Angeles to go to college at USC, she was spiraling down the dark vortex of drugs, alcoholism, and uncontrollable rage. In this episode she shares her journey about how she finally found peace after seeking professional help after 40 years of pain. Her only medicine her Dr. prescribed to her was: never letting go of her passion for paddling in a canoe, and her love for the ocean.

The place that Jessica herself went to for medical psychiatric treatment was a local resource in South Carolina called Life Resources, recommended to her by her marriage counselor through her local church. They do not treat people out of state through virtual platforms due to state licensing limitations.

If you think you are experiencing a mental emergency, or crisis, please dial 911 and seek medical attention.

If you are not sure but you know you need help like in Jessica’s situation, reach out to your local church for recommendations, or search in your area for a specialist:

Healthline.com has a link to help you find help even if you don’t have medical insurance.

Father Bruce Wilkinson is a friend I have met in Atlanta Georgia who I enjoy having conversations with about everyday life. We share many interests including our love for cats, musical theater, science and GOD.

In this episode, he shares his story about his CALLING and the random way the church was introduced back into his life through a drunken game of Poker.

He also shares his love for science and astronomy and how he developed an understanding and a relationship with both science and religion.

Father Bruce is also in the process of being published for a couple of papers he wrote for the community which we did not get into in this episode, but we will definitely go live on Instagram when that gets released so we can talk about it further.

He is a beautiful person who has shown me that God can speak to all of us through normal every day life and that it doesn't have to take a "splitting of the Red Sea" moment for us to notice His presence and Blessings.
