For more than 20 years, Charles Fowler has chaired the Human Values Foundation, which promotes positive values in young people’s social and emotional development. He notes that our values, which we adopt during the formative years of our youth, become our behavioral and ethical guides in life. Research shows that a vast majority of people have positive values, including things like love, gratitude, compassion, yet that same majority claims that other people and society in general don’t seem to share the same values, and in fact, tend toward more negative values, exhibiting selfishness, hate, and discrimination. Charles has been working across global boundaries to address that disconnection. He is the driving force behind World Values Day, an annual campaign that culminates on the third Thursday in October, which encourages individuals and organizations around the world to put positive values into practice. This year, World Values Day is celebrated on October 15th, but these lessons and practices should be carried forward into daily routine. Witha never-ending supply of energy and passion for encouraging positive values, Charles also chairs the Global Alliance for Values-based Education (GAVE), a network of leading academics and educationalists, is project partner of the Collaborating Centre for Values-based Practice for Health and Social Care at Oxford University, and serves as a delegate at the Values20 Group which engages the annual G20 leaders summits.

Imagine spending your days hanging out with teen idols like The Monkees, the Beach Boys, the Dave Clark Five, Bobby Sherman, David Cassidy, Elvis Presley and Donny Osmond. Or jumping on a plane at the last minute with Jefferson Airplane to fly to San Francisco, because they said, “Hey, come with us. You don’t need luggage, we’ll pick up whatever you need.” This was the groovy, adventurous life of Ann Moses, former editor of Tiger Beat magazine. Back in the 60s and early 70s, every teen and pre-teen girl in America wanted to be Ann Moses, so she found ways to share those amazing experiences with others. During her tenure with Tiger Beat, she created opportunities for fans to meet their idols, win special items (including David Cassidy’s puppies), and even appear—and have a speaking role—in a television show.  Ann shares her story of her young beginnings as a journalist and how flourished into helping make dreams come true in this fun episode of Share Your Fire. After listening to this episode, you’ll want to grab a copy of her 2017 memoir, “Meow! My Groovy Life with Tiger Beat’s Teen idols,” where she shares the highs, lows and shocking surprises of being a part of the Swingin’ 60s. You can order autographed copies and learn more about Ann at  https://annmoses.com/, follow her continuing adventures on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/annmoses and Instagram https://www.instagram.com/annmosestigerbeat/  Her book is also available on Amazon https://bit.ly/3Sz3QVf
