E229 - Stacey Newman Weldon - Pirates and Chocolate - Stories That Are Missing From History

Chocolate Adventure Mentor. Author of upcoming chocolate & pirate books. Chocolate Pairing events.

Adventures in chocolate?  Definitely!  Creating an adventure mindset includes being curious, trying new things and trying familiar things differently.  Chocolate is a great starting point.  (It’s chocolate – so it can be an adventure at any point!).  Since being told that the cacao bean is my spirit animal, I have learned about chocolate in-depth.  From seminars at Harvard University, to touring “fincas” in Central America, to conducting countless chocolate pairings and beyond – I love exploring it all.  And sharing with you!

E227 - Mark Craven - Author of Dads, Kiss Your Sons - Kindle and Demonstrate Your Love to Your Family

Mark Craven is the author of Dads, Kiss Your Sons and several other self-help titles. He has worked in higher education for more than a decade assisting college students in achieving their academic goals. Mark has worked at the University of Southern California, Carnegie Mellon University, and has spent most of his career at the Community College of Allegheny County as a mathematics instructor and senior advisor. He completed his BSc in Biology at Carlow University and his MEd in Higher Education Leadership at the University of Pittsburgh. Mark lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with his family.

The Book: Dads, Kiss Your Sons

Terrified to Become a Dad? So Was I.

Fear is often our first response when we discover we are going to be fathers. We talk to just about everyone we know or search for quick answers to give us some sense of confidence to see our way through the unknown ahead. But what if you didn’t have a dad? What if you didn’t have role models to follow? What if the whole idea of being a dad is so completely foreign to you that quantum mechanics seems easier to master? That’s my story along with becoming everything to my son that I never had growing up.

As a teacher and coach in higher education, Mark Craven has researched numerous behavioral studies as well as the biology of neurological systems pointing to insights for new and expectant dads to adhere in Dad’s, Kiss Your Sons, bringing a whole new level of significance to being a dad.

The current generation of dads has made fatherhood a part of their self-identity. They are seeking resources and feeling that there aren’t enough content-related resources available to them.

Episode 225 - Wendy Jo Cerna - Stories Have Always Captivated My Heart

Host of the So God Told You To Write a Book - Now What Podcast

From the bedtime stories my dad read to me and my brothers, to the required reading of various literature classes, to the novels consumed in the quiet of the night, stories have always captivated my heart.

Growing up in Minnesota as the daughter of educators, at times I found myself in the back seat of a station wagon travelling on family vacations during a break in the school-year calendar. My two older brothers were the perfect companions on these journeys. The eldest had an uncanny ability to map out our routes to ensure that we investigated and enjoyed as many aspects of our outings as was humanly possible. And the middle brother was my built-in entertainment. He and I engrossed ourselves in developing talk-shows and other narratives that required quirky characters, funny voices and distinct accents.

But it was not until January of 2015, when a divine prompting dropped from the blue into my heart, that I even entertained the notion of writing a novel. Frankly, I didn’t know if I could. But with my children all grown and my husband’s business requiring less and less of my attention, space had finally opened up for me to do what I had in my heart to do. So, I chose to give myself to learning the process of moving a story up out of my heart and onto the pages of a book. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that the quirky characters, interesting settings, and imaginative realms that once intrigued me as a young person should now bubble up in my books. It reminds me that our Heavenly Creator is very intentional about our earthly journey.

As I write, I sometimes feel as if I am still travelling in the back seat of a station wagon with my Jesus at the wheel and my characters as my companions filling my heart with their stories as we traverse both life on the planet and that which is to come. Can’t wait to see what’s up around the bend.
