His father was a sharecropper’s son who became known for hit songs like “Boogie Chillen,” “I’m in the Mood,” and “Boom Boom,” and in 1972, he and his father performed live and recorded an album in Soledad Prison. Junior seemed to have a golden ticket to a successful music career, but problems brewed as his father’s troubled marriage ripped apart the family.

making her very first appearance on Rick Flynn's podcast is one very intelligent, not to mention very strong woman, JANET McCONNELL.

We know aging will happen no matter what, and we know that aging well is not a guarantee left on its own. What does aging look like and how does it feel?In Elements of Aging Well, the author, Janet McConnell, answers many questions using her journey. In doing so, she feels emboldened to say things out loud that, until now, she hadn’t dared to say. She asks, “How am I preparing to meet the world with my armor unbuckled and my boundaries intact?” Her only authority is a life well-lived. No book, body of research, degree, or certification could have taught her the wisdom that her body holds in the outcome of daily living, giving her the experience of aging while becoming younger.In this book, Janet tells of her journey of physical and emotional transformation in midlife. She details the “Elements of Aging Well” that brought her such excellent results. Exercise and nutrition are necessary, but tools for resilience, setting boundaries, and forming good habits are also crucial.Elements of Aging Well is NOT an anti-aging book. The reader should embrace healthy longevity. McConnell advocates for living life fully as you age. Healthy aging is a gift you give yourself, and it’s the most surprising gift. Her wish is for you to enjoy a long and vibrant life and the courage to join her in questioning the status quo of what society says aging is. Buy her book on Amazon.

This week on the Rick Flynn Presents podcast we remember our 39th President of the United States JIMMY CARTER. Our special guest is University of Arizona History Professor DAVID GIBBS. President Carter passed away, on December 29, 2024, at the age of 100. This interview was recorded the very next day at 11:00 a.m. eastern time. David Gibbs, who has studied the Carter presidency for the past 15 years, talks about this President's legacy and new evidence that shows America’s right turn in domestic and foreign policy really began during the Carter presidency, not — as is widely believed — during that of his successor, Ronald Reagan. “Evidence from newly opened archives show that Carter initiated the deregulation of U.S. industry and finance, reduced the power of organized labor, lowered taxes on business, and imposed austerity measures that intentionally raised unemployment among working people. Carter also augmented military spending for the first time in a decade, diverting resources from domestic programs, while increasing U.S. interventions overseas.” Gibbs says, “Carter should also be remembered for his support of racial justice and his many impressive achievements after he left the presidency. But we must not whitewash his central role in overturning FDR’s New Deal and concentrating wealth among the top 1 percent of the U.S. population.” Gibbs is a professor of history at the University of Arizona. He is the author of “Revolt of the Rich: How the Politics of the 1970s Widened America’s Class Divide.” Contact him at [email protected]

Rick Flynn Presents, the worldwide podcast, welcomes author LISA GERARDY with her brand-new book just published and released to the public days ago.

One in four women and one in six men were sexually abused before age eighteen. Lisa was two. She was raised by a single, stressed-out, abusive mom, who worked full time and relied on government assistance and an abusive married boyfriend to get by. Because of this, Lisa never felt normal as a child so she chased the idea of having a normal family in her romantic relationships and friendships. In the end, Lisa discovers that she will never be normal and that is actually a good thing.
