So after a successful first season of the show, I decided to have another go at it. With my busy schedule and lack of success finding all the guests I wanted, I needed to mix things up a bit. So I got a cohost. That's right Season II will feature myself and Carrie Butterfield. A card carrying liberal Gemini with years of wisdom, she has been the yin to my yang for 27 year.

So with me being married and her being single, we tackle Valentine's Day head on. Including news articles filled with love, gifts that just taste funny, and first dates (teeth optional).

Let the fun begin.

Host of the podcast Dear Poly, Phillip has decided to bring Polyamory out of the dark shadows and present it to the masses (while also exploring sexuality in a fun and educational way).

My guest is teaching in a state ranked 49th in the nation for education. If that wasn't hard enough, add COVID to the mix. Joe Tyrrell stops by to talk about the past, present, and future of COVID effects on education.

Host of the Unstoppable podcast, a voice artist, broadcaster, media coach, and more importantly a father to a very special little girl, Sean Loots is amazing in so many ways. He stops by the show to share the story how his little daughter, Zoey, has changed his life and inspired him to seek the unstoppable.

Andrew Brown stops by the show to discuss home brewing and how he turns family and friends into guinea pigs. The funny part is how he turns me into one before the episode ends.

Imagine living thirty years of your life unhappy. Displeased not at the political climate of our nation or because your favorite team couldn’t find a championship with a flashlight and a map, but because you were identified as the wrong gender.

Now imagine having the strength to rise out of the darkness and into the light only to find you are all alone.

Transgender individuals face fear, rejection, and possibly suicide with one only goal, to be who they truly are.

My guest is a trans woman who is a strong advocate for the LGBTQ community, a writer, music teacher and one of the hosts of queer mind which is in its second season on Apple and Spotify. Kadie Renee.

Norm Wielsch was a law enforcement officer for over 25 years. Sixteen of those as an undercover narcotic agent. He has experienced many traumatic incidents during his career. In 1998 he was diagnosed with an incurable neuro-muscular disease that caused the loss of feeling, mobility, and strength in his hands and feet. After over 30 surgeries he became addicted to opioids.

He was diagnosed with PTSD. Then his daughter was diagnosed with a serious illness with a poor prognosis. Due to his poor coping mechanisms that are against God's moral standards, Norm made a series of poor decisions that landed him in federal prison with a 14 year sentence.

It was during this most intense trial of his life, with the reality that he was going to go to prison for a long time, that he answered God's calling. Norm had been an agnostic all of his life, but he knew that God was calling him to minister to those people who were suffering from trauma, especially first responders.

While in prison, he obtained a Master’s Degree in Theology & Counseling, a Doctorate in Christian Counseling, and a California Drug and Alcohol Counseling Certificate.

While in prison, Norm counseled many inmates with a variety of issues, preached God’s word in the chapel, taught Christian classes, and led bible studies.

​

Norm often speaks to those who are suffering from traumatic experiences including churches and addiction ministries.
