In today’s episode of The Mentors Radio, Host Tom Loarie talks with Jeff Bell, a northern California radio and television news veteran and a national spokesman for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Jeff’s voice is instantly recognizable to anyone in northern California as anchor for the afternoon rush hour news, weather and traffic program on KCBS for 18 years. But most do not know that this successful news man spent most of his life battling OCD. He had to overcome a crippling level of uncertainty and doubt every day, even about minor things. But overcome it he did… by fully embracing it! One step at a time. One day at a time. His book, When in Doubt, Make Belief, provides an inspired approach for ALL of us, especially in business, on how to live with uncertainty and doubt at ANY level.. by embracing it.

In today’s episode, recovering alcoholic Teddy W—now 16 years sober—talks with The Mentors Radio host Tom Loarie about his journey from self-deception to real freedom and genuine happiness…and the transformative power of good habits. At a time of year when many of us are choosing new goals, this is a helpful, inspiring and very candid interview. Alcoholism is the elephant in the room few talk about, yet excessive drinking is the #1 leading cause of preventable deaths in the U.S. It’s shocking! From 2015 to 2019 alone, there were more than 380 alcohol-related deaths PER DAY in the United States. It affects each of us in some way, if not through our own addiction, then through family, friends and co-workers. This episode is a fabulous insider view with inspiration for everyone!

In this episode, The Mentors Radio Host Ric Brutocao talks with guest Dan McClory, the award-winning president and head of China equity investments for Boustead Securities, about Dan’s career journey and more. McClory excels in bringing companies public, and in less time than it typically takes to get to IPO. With investment-related career experience spanning from the U.S. to Italy and China, he brings a wealth of sharp business growth and investor banking insight to any discussion. But knowledge alone doesn’t close big deals; that’s anchored in understanding people and business.

In this episode, Dan talks about the irreplaceable value of understanding people, the power of what we can learn from failures, capital and investment strategies, how to satisfy the ongoing need for growth capital, the importance of always moving forward regardless of success or failure, and a relentless commitment to “getting things done.” He also lays out the criteria for a company to go public, what it means, how to get there, and how smaller companies now have a new option to get to IPO and to do it faster than ever before.

In this episode, The Mentors Radio host Tom Loarie talks with UND grad and suspended FBI Special Agent Steve Friend, a respected 12-year veteran of the FBI and a SWAT team member. But this interview is not about the details of Steve’s recent bombshell whistleblowing.

This interview is about Steve’s career, his journey, his character, his compass and anchor points…his “why”... The challenge he faced could easily apply to anyone, in any position, at any time. An excellent reminder that in work and in life—and in finding happiness and peace of soul—character counts!

What would you do if the company leadership where you worked asked you—expected you—to do something unethical, something that went against clearly stated corporate principles, or against an oath you took (perhaps as a medical doctor, nurse or law enforcement officer, or in any kind of business position)?

the This same question was faced by leadership and higher-level employees at the ENRON company many years ago. The same question was faced by a young Naval Officer at sea when the highest ranking commander on that ship refused to respond to an SOS call the young officer had received, even though their ship was the closest one to the cry for help plea. In each of these examples, some people stood up, respectfully, and endured consequences until the truth won out.

At some point, we each have to answer this question in one way or another… many times during our lives. Steve Friend gives us an inside look at his “why.”

In today’s episode of The Mentors Radio, host Tom Loarie talks with former Sprint turn-around CEO Dan Hesse “Just Capital” and why “doing good” matters in any company, of any size. They also discuss a new values-based metric system aimed at motivating and improving corporate ethics and, in turn, positively impacting customers, clients, shareholders, employees and communities. The truth is that even facing challenging economic headwinds, companies performing well in ethics and in doing good—who really follow through on values—do not sacrifice returns. Just Capital’s rankings prove that reality.
