Michael Menard was educated as an engineer, holds over 200 patents for the invention of many products you enjoy today.  Michael has shifted to a truly significant issue of our lifetime. 

At 74, Michael discovered the most important truth of my life: the real enemy isn't the bottle, the pills, the needles and early death—it's the wounds that drive people to them. Now he is breaking the silence because 787 Americans will die today from a crisis we refuse to name.

Michael has responded to a Higher Calling to inform, teach and lead a movement to arrest childhood trauma. It is THE root cause and leading reason for death ahead of cancer and heart disease.

It's time to hit the ALARM BUTTON and find a solution. Learn about Norway and what they are doing. Can we model ourselves for change?

Straight out of Philly is Billy "Shoes" Johnson, one of my favorite drummers of all time on today's show. 

He was the MAN playing with Santana during the Supernatural tour and the sound on Da Le Yaleo! 

Billy riffs about his favorite musicians including Stanley Clark, Chick Corea, George Howard, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams, and Jerry Brown. We are talking music history and Billy was in the jam.  

Billy pays homage to his parents, siblings and Grandparents for listening to his drumming in his early years. 

"Put your ego in your back pocket and serve the music"....says Billy....inspired by Steve Gad. 

Hear the inside story of touring with Santana and going to school off of percussionists Karl Perrazo and Raul Rekow.   Their chemistry made Supernatural .....well supernatural! 

Learn the lesson of creating space with your drumming, especially with Santana. Remember, when you are playing drums, you are playing time. Find space in your time. Think of the big picture and the overall sound. Pay attention and listen. And remember, don't box in your lead guitarist...or anybody....especially if his name is Carlos Santana. 

A special thanks to our mutual friend, Mr. Dan Ashley, world class broadcaster at ABC, musician, and mentor for connecting us.

TrulySignificant.com honors the one and only Dame Jane Goodall. 

Why Jane Goodall Matters 1. She expanded our understanding of animals
Her groundbreaking research with chimpanzees showed that animals use tools, have emotions, build relationships, and display intelligence once thought to belong only to humans. She helped erase the false line between “us” and “them.”
2. She made science more human
Jane Goodall combined rigorous observation with empathy, patience, and respect. She proved that compassion and science can work together.
3. She became a voice for the planet
Her life’s work moved beyond research into global advocacy for forests, wildlife, climate, and sustainable living. She turned knowledge into action.
4. She inspires young people to lead
Through Roots & Shoots, she empowered generations of children and students to improve their communities and protect nature. Her legacy is not just what she discovered—it is who she awakened. 5. She represents hope
Even while speaking honestly about environmental threats, she consistently reminds people that hope is powered by action, resilience, and everyday choices.

A truly significant life lifts others up, leaves the world better than it was found, and creates ripples that outlive the individual. Jane Goodall did all three:

• She lifted animals into our moral awareness.
• She lifted people into purpose.
• She lifted the planet into global consciousness.

Earth Day Tribute If Earth Day celebrates stewardship, wonder, and responsibility, then Jane Goodall is one of its finest living symbols—a reminder that one curious person, acting with courage and kindness, can change the world.

Truly Significant honors the one and only Porter Garner III, pioneer of Aggie Network and leader of the Texas A&M Former Students Association as TRULY SIGNIFICANT TEXAN. 

• For more than four decades, Porter has been a steady hand and a trusted voice guiding the Association of Former Students. He made Aggie core values strategic. Porter is emblematic of the heroes from our book When Core Values are Strategic.
• Porter didn’t just lead an organization, he strengthened the Aggie Network. Clearly, it’s one of the most loyal and powerful communities anywhere in the world. His leadership and teamwork accelerated participation from 100, 000 to over 630,000 supportive former students. He multiplied the multipliers.
• Porter understands something every Aggie knows deep down: that the Aggie Ring isn’t just a piece of gold. It’s a promise. A promise that wherever life takes you, you’ll stand ready to help a fellow Aggie. Porter drilled it deep…Aggies help other Aggies.
• Under Porter’s leadership, the Aggie Network grew stronger, traditions grew deeper, and generations of Aggies stayed connected to the values that make Texas A&M special — respect, integrity, leadership, loyalty, selfless service, and excellence.

• Porter Garner didn’t just serve Texas A&M. He served the people who make Texas strong.

Steve Carlis can be viewed as a Truly Significant pioneer because the highest form of significance is not just building brands—it is seeing greatness in people before the world does. That is a rare gift. It means recognizing talent in its early, unfinished stages and helping it become influence, impact, and legacy.

Why That Matters: Many people can judge performance after success is obvious.
Very few can identify potential before the applause begins. That kind of vision requires:

• Discernment – noticing gifts others overlook
• Pattern recognition – seeing future momentum in present behavior
• Courage – betting on people early
• Stewardship – helping talent grow, not just using it
• Belief – lending confidence until the person owns it themselves

That is where significance begins. Through the lens of talent with leaders and communicators like Grant Cardone and Mel Robbins, the common thread is not just fame—it is human potential expressed at scale. To recognize figures like these early or help amplify their gifts means seeing:

• the communicator before the crowd arrived
• the message before it became movement
• the discipline behind the brand
• the hunger behind the headlines

That is different from marketing. That is insight. 
A Success mentality asks “What did you build?”
Significance asks:
“Who did you lift?” If Steve Carlis has consistently identified talent, opened doors, and helped people maximize their gifts, then his real legacy is not media alone—it is the multiplication of lives and voices he helped elevate. Steve Carlis is significant not merely because he recognized stars, but because he understood a timeless truth: When you see human potential clearly—and act on it—you change futures.

Finbar O'Hanlon is a futurist, music prodigy, and native of Liverpool, England. He now resides in Australia and creates the most fabulous music, sonic brands, and pantheon of sounds.

Finbar riffs on the irrelevancy of prime time television and how it mirrors today's audience and how they are not reaching their full potential. 

Finbar has worked all of his life to live and be distinctive. Being different is the most powerful tool. 

Hear about the importance of chemistry in a team or in a musical band.  It's enlightening. 

Listen to his experience and stories in the sonic/audio branding field of which he leads. He starts with how might we add value with audio and just does heavy research to find the cracks. 

Is fear driving bad branding decisions? Start by thinking about the top companies that might disrupt you in the next 12-24 to 36 months.   Innovation is absolutely essential and your way to help you compete and adapt.  Remember that NOT making a decision is making a decision. You have surrendered to fear. 

Listen until the end of the show to hear about parallel universe strategy.
