Welcome to Episode 235.   This is a big one, with lots of inspiration.  A word of warning, you may want some tissues nearby, it's a bit of an emotional one, but all three stories will inspire.  We start off with our send-off of the incredible Dolly Parton, then we talk about two brothers who are making it their goal to raise money and awareness to combat dementia, and finally, we talk about two sisters, who risked their lives to help Jews escape from Nazi Germany.   There is a lot to unpack in this episode, but you will be glad you listened to it.

It's been a heck of a summer.  We have a lot of inspiration to throw your way.  We start off with a cheerleadering team that is defying stereotypes and doing amazing things (check out the Youtube link below).  Next we talk about the incredible Buck Brannaman, a modern day cowboy who is helping change how people relate with their horses, and maybe each other.   And finally, we share some lessons from a 3rd grade drop out that shows that wisdom and kindness do not have to be learned in school.  It is a great way to refill your cup with some inspiration.

Hey we are back.  Life has been crazy, but we wanted to get out an epsiode to give you a boost of inspiration.  This episode is a little bit different, we are focusing on just one person, but this man's amazing life is certainly enough to carry an episode on its own.  We are going to share about the amazing life of aviation pioneer, Chuck Yeager.   This is an episode you won't want to miss.

Welcome to episode 228!  We have some great inspiration for you in this episode.  We are still working out some sound issues, and hope to have that dialed in soon.  This episode is filled with kids.  We talk about some foster family success stories, a young man who started speaking out against bullying at the age of eight and is still going more than 15 years later, and the Masaka Kids Africana, a group of African children whose dance videos are funding a home for more than 200 children in Uganda.  This episode will inspire you, but you also have to watch these kids dance.  I guarantee it will put a smile on your face.  You can find out more and see some of their dance videos at
