    Welcome!

    Faust Ruggiero is my guest this week. Faust is an author and a therapist and has worked in a variety of therapeutic settings over a 40 year period. In this episode, I spoke with Faust to get his ideas on integration and how we as ex-offenders can work through the adversity in ways in which we experience peace and being content.  Check out my interview with Faust!

    My guest this week, Kam Knight, has written several books in the area of mental performance. He calls himself a "mind expert", and is going to be giving us his thoughts on how we can control our thoughts and decisions. Being able to do this in various situations under a variety of stress factors is obviously important. But honestly, can you say you're able to do this 100% of the time? Join me for my conversation with Kam Knght on this week's episode.

    Hello Everyone!

    My guest today is named Melissa Snow. Melissa Snow is a life coach that has a lot to say on the topic of relationships. More specifically, Melissa Snow is versed in relationships in which one partner has a felony conviction. These relationships have an extra bit of strain on them. Melissa speaks from experience and identifies what these strains are and how to handle them. This is an important episode for those of us dealing with the ongoing processes involved with reintegration. 

    I really liked the things Melissa had to say in our interview and I'm positive you'll get something out of our chat.

    Remember, if God is for you, who can be against you?

    Hello!

    I came home from prison in 2008. I was gone for 7 years and 11 months. There were instantaneously recognizable changes along with some surprise about things that hadn't changed. I've been home 12 years and off paper since 2010 when my sentence discharged. 

    This journey after incarceration is ever changing and hopefully an ever growing experience. Even after these 12 years, I'm still learning how to adjust. Every once in a while the big "x" on back turns neon and flashes in new situations for which I hadn't really anticipated. I had one of those experiences recently and I want to share it with you in the hope that it's something you can relate to. 

    I was certain that I was being screwed with by the DPS worker that was supposed to be renewing my driver's license because of my felony conviction. Turns out, I was wrong....

    Join me as I discuss this experience and how it has changed me for the better.

He has a long history as a successful life coach and author. After the interview, be sure to check out David's internet presence and to locate his books on all of the popular platforms.

    Hello and Merry Christmas!
    Over the years, I've had many, many, many people ask to be on my little podcast. Out of the 190 whatever episodes, only a handful don't have a guest. The reason for that has always been the abundance of people wanting to come on the podcast. It is for that reason that I have almost never had anyone on twice. It's happened before but only a couple of times. 
    My guest this week is an exception to the rule. John Vespacian is a returning guest. He has an excellent point of view and applies his life experiences to describe how to navigate life's hurdles. He's the author of several books and he presents his information in a concise manner that simply makes sense. 
    John called in from the Netherlands for our chat so there is a minor delay in our question/answer. Check out my interview with John Vespacian on this week's podcast.

    Hi There!
    Dr. Clete Bulach comes from a career in Education and has spent most of that time on the administrative end. He now has a company called Professional Development and Assessment Center. One of the services offered by this company is providing traing in conflict resolution and management. This is where Clete and my paths have crossed.
    When comining home from long periods of incarceration, the former offender must learn to rid themslves of the survival/prison mentality. Society does not work the way prison does. Settling conflict with violence will simply get someone locked up again. These behaviors must be unlearned. Join as Clete describes how this can be done. You can find out more about Clete here: Clete Bulach.
