  • 62 - Adversities Can Bring Us Joy with Lisa Edwards

    Lisa Edwards is an inspirational speaker and best selling author. Lisa grew up in a tough situation and went through a lot of hardships within the last several years. Through these trials and adversities, she has become inspired to share her story and teach about self love. She also has really learned to step outside of her comfort zone. How? Here is what she has to say. 

    "I listened to the “Gurus” who preach that all the magic happens when you step outside of your comfort zone. That all you have to do is go to where the fear is and you will become an unstoppable! I continuously pushed myself outside of my comfort zone.  I spent a large part of my adult years living a nomadic lifestyle, moving from place to place and country to country, trying my hand at everything from teaching English to dealing roulette.  I manifested everything I focused on but despite my ability to achieve my goals, the magic never happened. The AHA moment never came and any happiness I DID feel, had the longevity of a kite in a windless sky. No matter what i did, or what I achieved, I could never shake off the feeling that everyone was in some way better than me. So how did I finally let go of these limiting beliefs?

    Well, it was a massive trauma in recent years that turned my whole world upside down and thrust me onto an unwitting journey of self-discovery.  Through the betrayal, humiliation, failures and illness I finally had my aha moment. The one simple truth that would enable me to finally break free from the jaws of victimhood and bravely own my story. It was the realization that the fundamental key to true success and happiness is SELF-BELIEF. No, NOT self-belief that you are capable of achieving BUT self-belief that YOU ARE WORTHY of achieving. There is a BIG difference. Self-confidence is NOT competence. We are all capable and we can all achieve but until you know your value and your worth, you’ll have more lasting success bringing water up from a well, with a sieve! The good news is that you don’t need “Johnny” to say that nobody puts you in the corner. You already know that, don’t you?!"

  • 61- Hope is like a box of chocolates: Lessons from the 'Candy Bomber'

    Colonel Gail Seymour "Hal" Halvorsen (born October 10, 1920) is a retired officer and command pilot in the United States Air Force.[1] He is best known as the "Berlin Candy Bomber" or "Uncle Wiggly Wings" and gained fame for dropping candy to German children during the Berlin Airlift from 1948 to 1949.

    Halvorsen grew up in rural Utah but always had a desire to fly. He earned his private pilot's license in 1941 and then joined the Civil Air Patrol.[2] He joined the United States Army Air Forces in 1942 and was assigned to Germany on July 10, 1948, to be a pilot for the Berlin Airlift.[3] Halvorsen piloted C-47s and C-54s during the Berlin airlift ("Operation Vittles"). During that time he founded "Operation Little Vittles", an effort to raise morale in Berlin by dropping candy via miniature parachute to the city's residents. Halvorsen began "Little Vittles" with no authorization from his superiors but over the next year became a national hero with support from all over the United States.[4] Halvorsen's operation dropped over 23 tons of candy to the residents of Berlin

  • 59- Never Give Up with Terry Tucker

    After Terry graduated from college at The Citadel (where he played NCAA Division I basketball), he was employed in the Marketing Department at the corporate headquarters of Wendy’s International in Dublin, Ohio. From there, he worked in hospital administration for Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. After getting married and moving to California for his wife's job, he became the Customer Service Manager for an academic publishing company in Santa Barbara. After their daughter was born and they moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, he became a police officer with the Cincinnati Police Department, where he was a SWAT Hostage Negotiator. Following a family relocation to Texas, he started a school security consulting business and coached high school girls basketball in Houston. Each time he took on a new job, he had to develop new skills and faced different challenges. There was always a significant learning curve with every new position. 

     
    But his greatest challenge began in early 2012 when he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Acral Lentiginous Melanoma, which presented on the bottom of his foot. By the time the melanoma was detected, it had metastasized to a lymph node in his groin. Because his cancer is so rare (only about 6,500 people are diagnosed with this form of malignancy in the U.S. each year), he was treated at the world-renowned MD Anderson Cancer Center. He had two surgeries to remove the tumors, and after he healed, he was put on a weekly injection of the drug, Interferon, to help keep the disease from coming back.  
     
    He took those weekly injections for four years and seven months before the Interferon became so toxic to his body that he ended up in the Intensive Care Unit with a fever of 108 degrees. Fortunately, expert medical care saved his life.
     
    The Interferon gave him severe flu-like symptoms for two to three days after each injection. He lost fifty pounds during his therapy, was constantly nauseous, fatigued, and chilled, his ability to taste food significantly diminished, and his body constantly ached. This misery went on for over 1,660 days!
     
    One thing he learned during all his pain and suffering is that you have two choices. You can succumb to the debilitating discomfort and misery, or you can learn to embrace it and use it to make you a stronger and better human being. He chose the latter.
     
    There were times he felt so poorly and was in so much agony that he prayed to die. Each day was a struggle to use his mind to override his body's apathy and distress.
     
    He realizes pain and discomfort can beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it. But he also came to appreciate that he could use his hurting and anguish to make him stronger and more resolute. He recently wrote a book, entitled Sustainable Excellence, Ten Principles to Leading Your Uncommon and Extraordinary Life to help people find and live their purpose. The ten principles outlined in the book will provide the bedrock necessary to form the foundation of unshakable beliefs and dedicated behaviors to reinforce your attitude, no matter how much pain you must endure or how many obstacles you must overcome. His hope is that people who read the book will lead a life of significance, as well as a life of success. Sustainable Excellence is available for pre-order on Amazon and at Barnes & Noble.
    ​
    Unfortunately, his cancer experience hasn't ended with him conquering the disease. The melanoma that had plagued him for over six years returned in 2017, and his only treatment option was the amputation of most of his left foot in 2018. The cancer reemerged again in 2019, requiring multiple operations. In February of 2020, an undiagnosed tumor in his ankle fractured his tibia. His only remedy was the amputation of his left leg above the knee. He also has tumors in both of his lungs. 
     
    He says "But I refused to be a victim of this malignancy. I vowed to continue my fight. I knew the only way cancer could win is if I gave up or gave
