Today's episode I had the honor of talking with Ricardo Ramos...a true American and your neighbor writing a great story.  He was born in Venezuela but as an American wanted to give back to the country so became a firefighter.  Find out how he and his wife manage to still travel the world and how he captures those experiences!

We MUST have more FREE RANGE KIDS out there today!   It's a term that was developed that describes how kids used to grow up but it is now the outlier way.  Laws are being passed and organizations are actively recruiting parents to actually let kids be kids.  If you just arrived from 40 or 50 years in a time machine, you might find this all laughable, but that is the state of affairs today.  

Tune in to be inspired by one mother who doesn't buy into that shit and is spending her career fighting against scared parents that are doing more harm than good.

What limiting beliefs can you do without?  Darren Rowse gives us a simple way to chip away at those and avoid a mid life crisis, or 2, or 3 in the process.

Here's a link to Darren's blog post I'm referring to in this Monday Nugget: How I'm Dealing With My 3rd Mid Life Crisis

Trying out a bit of a different twist.  Not an interview not a nugget but somewhere in between.  Free form if you will.  In this first episode of the sidekick series we listen to 2 eulogies.  Both everyday "Joes", but one of them took the opportunity to live his story.

Thanks Michael Corley for the idea!

authentic (from Miriam Webster): real or genuine : not copied or false : true and accurate.  When it comes to authentic people I think that definition is a bit simplistic. It is a little harder to define, but like a great photograph you just know it when you see it.  I used to play golf so pulling this movie clip from the archives.  Listen to the sage, Bagger Vance and what he says about authenticity.
