This week on The Mentors Radio, Host Tom Loarie talks with Greg Harden, M.S.W., an extraordinary life coach and mentor whose coaching and mentoring has changed more lives than even he imagined possible. Harden is the lifelong mentor to seven-time Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady; to Michael Phelps, the most celebrated and decorated Olympiad of all time with 28 medals; to Desmond Howard, Heisman Trophy winner; to Samantha Arsenault, the Gold medalist swimmer who overcame low sense of self-worth, injury and a tumor; to Warde Manuel whose football career-ending neck injury changed his life but not his life’s purpose—and to mentor many others as an athletic director at the University of Michigan. Here’s a peak at Hardon’s “secret sauce” in mentoring others: Hardon sees difficulty and obstacles as advantages. The more obstacles in your path, the higher odds you’ll succeed because others will back down. In this fast-paced, in-depth interview, Greg Harden will coach and mentor YOU to embrace a mindset to live your best life and achieve your passion and goals, with a sense of purpose, genuine fulfillment, peace and happiness. He also talks about the principles in his book, Stay Sane in an Insane World, filled with first-hand examples, experiences, his own challenges, principles of living a rich and rewarding life, and more.

Manfred is the founder, owner and winemaker at Sine Qua Non, which has redefined the term “cult wine” and earned 25 perfect 100 point scores from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, more than any winery in the world during this time period according to my research. Krankl is an innovator with unusual wine bottle shapes plus his own art that changes each year. According to Chat GPT, Sine Qua Non wines have appreciated more in value in the last decade than any wine in the world, including the famous French Burgundy Domaine de la Romanee-Conti. His new winery Next of Kyn is yet another remarkable success.

In this episode of THE MENTORS RADIO, Host Tom Loarie talks with Conor Grennan, the head of Generative AI and Dean of Students at New York University’s Stern School of Business, a TEDx speaker and a #1 Inernatonal Best-selling author of Little Princes: One Man’s Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal. In this episode, they discuss how ChatGPT, BARD, BING, their extensions and plug-ins can power your career and make you the go-to person for AI in business and life. … Prior to working at NYU, in search of adventure, a then-29-year-old Conor Grennan traded his day job for a year-long trip around the globe, beginning with a three-month stint volunteering at the Little Princes Children’s Home, an orphanage in war-torn Nepal. When Conor learned the unthinkable truth about their situation, he was stunned: The children were not orphans at all. Child traffickers were promising families in remote villages to protect their children from the civil war—for a huge fee—by taking them to safety. They would then abandon the children far from home, in the chaos of Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu. For Conor, what began as a footloose adventure becomes a commitment to reunite the children he had grown to love with their families, risking his life in the process. Grennan’s experience is captured in his international best-selling book (see below).
