Who: Dr. Karen Wyatt - Author of What Really Matter: 7 Lessons for Living from the Stories of the Dying

What We Talked About: How to live your life "on purpose." For 12 years, Dr. Karen told herself she was going to write a book about the lessons she learned from the dying patients she worked with as a Hospice Medical Director. When she actually made the shift to author, she was surprised that she had to relearn those lessons herself.

Why I Like Karen: She is thoughtful and measured in her sharing. She delivers profound ideas with gravitas and she draws you in. Her story is just plain interesting. What could we learn from the dying? Listen and find out.

Great Line: I knew the purpose of my life was to live in love.

Who: Dana Wilde - Author of Train Your Brain and Host of The Mind Aware Show

What This Show is About: Dana airs LIVE in front of a dial-in audience. This week we have have a live guest ask, "I'm overwhelmed and stressed out. What do I do?" Dana Wilde Rants! After so many requests for an "ask Dana" episode, we've decided to offer this as a regular feature. Dana takes questions from our audience members and answers those questions by helping the listener "tell a new story." Each of us has a Reticular Activating System (RAS) in our brain that spends all day every day listening to what we're thinking about and what we're talking about. Next the RAS notices in the outside world the situations that match those thoughts and stories. This is why if you want to change your outside world, you have to start with the inside story.

Who: Barbara Alink - Inventor of The Alinker Mobility Device

What We Talked About: How Barbara invented the Alinker, an innovative mobility device that is changing the world. Barbara talks about how she came up with the idea, how she created the prototype, how she researched it and improved it, and finally how she marketed it through a Kickstarter campaign. This is more than a story about a product. This is a story about a revolution in how we think about mobility challenges.

Why I Like Barbara: A woman who is an inventor, in a niche traditionally dominated by men. A non-marketer who moved forward with the marketing of this new device and launched a campaign largely on word-of-mouth. A person who has stayed the course and has seen her vision reach an international audience with nothing except her enthusiasm and a passion to help people. Really, what's not to like?

Great Line: Do what you can.
