    We are calling this our season finale because we are putting the podcast on pause for a while, we hope to be back once we feel the energy to do it again.  In today's episode, Al and I discuss a variety of topics, some current events and things that lead to us putting the podcast on hold for while.  Thank you for listening!

  • Jason Cyrus - Hypnotist

    We had the pleasure of having an insightful conversation with Jason Cyrus about his road to hypnosis, hypnotherapy and putting positivity into the world.  In the divisive times that we find ourselves today, this was such a refreshing conversation. Hope you enjoy.

  • Unreal Reality TV

    In today's conversation, we have a shallow discussion about everyone's guilty pleasure ... reality TV.  Is it a true depiction of reality? Is it a problem for society?  Does it create a false sense of reality for most?  These are all questions that we talk about, plus we talk about a few reality shows in particular.  Al is quite a fan!  Hope you enjoy.

  • Mark Black - Inspirational Speaker

    There are so many titles I could give Mark because he's done so much and continues to press on and live life to the fullest and that is the main theme of his message.  We had a very fruitful discussion with Mark about his challenges as a youth, having gone through a double lung and heart transplant, then becoming the first man in history (as far as we know) to run a marathon with another person's heart and lungs.  But I think more importantly we focused on the message Mark is trying to put forth in the world today and that is ... well you have to listen to find out.  Hope you enjoy!

  • Let's Talk about Love

    In the spirit of Valentine's Day, Al and I have a discussion about Love.  If you think two middle aged men talking about love sounds like awkward discussion to have ... well you'd be right.  Regardless we had fun and we hope you will enjoy.

  • Take time to Smell the Roses

    In this episode, Al & I have a conversation about living in the moment.  In today's world, surrounded by technology and information, with the constant battle for our attention, we don't often take the time to stop and just admire what is right in front of us.  Our discussion today revolves around that very topic.  Hope you enjoy and please take the time to enjoy the present.
