My guest today is @ryanfoland - Ryan Foland.

Ryan is a lecturer at UCI, TedX keynote speaker, YouTube star based on the coast south of L.A., USA. Ryan is also a podcaster and author of ‘Ditch The Act - Reveal the Surprising Power of the Real You for Greater Success.’

Ryan talks about how, if we have a message we are trying to convey to our audience, we think they want to hear about how successful we are - then we wonder why no one is listening! What we all really want to hear, explains Ryan, is how like me is this speaker or writer and does their experience resonate with me? Only when we reveal our true selves, together with our failures, fears and weaknesses will people start listening.

My first guest is @ForgottenBee - Bryony Brook  - a professional counsellor and therapist based near magical Glastonbury, England. She is also a local radio broadcaster and has set a personal 365 day challenge to write a poem a day on her blog. 

Bee tells the moving story of nursing her late famous artist husband for seven years after his stroke, to his passing at a very early age and then coping with the effect that experience  had on her daughter, who also came close to death. We talk about facing fear, resurrecting dreams and living an abundant life against the odds.
