The Best of The 'X' Zone Radio/TV Show with Rob McConnell

Rob 'Waldo' Waldman - The Wingman - teaches associations and corporations how to build trusting, revenue producing relationships with their employees, partners, and customers. While relaying his personal experiences as a combat decorated fighter pilot and businessman, he makes a striking parallel that is memorable and exciting and brings fighter-pilot energy into each story and illustration. Waldo believes that the key to building a culture of trust lies with your wingmen - the men and women in your life who help you to overcome obstacles, adapt to change, and achieve success. In business and life, you should never fly solo! The solution to winning when the heat is on lies in the ability of every wingman in your organization, regardless of their role, to give 110% and support the team. Audiences connect with him not only because of his extensive business background, but also because he truly speaks from the heart and has an infectious passion for helping people. Waldo's captivating personal stories combined with dramatic jet fighter video footage and inspirational music (composed by him!) will encourage you to prepare diligently for every mission, face challenges with courage, build more meaningful relationships, and maximize your potential both in business and in life. Waldo is a graduate of the U.S Air Force Academy and also holds an MBA with a focus on Organizational Behavior. He is a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) and past President of the GA Chapter of the National Speaker's Association. Waldo's clients include Hewlett Packard, NY Life, Baptist Health Hospitals, Nokia, Home Depot, Qwest Communications, Philips Medical Systems, Bank of America, Panasonic, Honeywell, Aflac, Johnson & Johnson and MassMutual.- www.yourwingman.com

As we look into who, what , where and why when it comes to trying to make sense of the senseless terror attacks that occur, let first try to uncover where it stems from.

Every lethal terrorist attack in the United States in the past decade and a half has been carried out by American citizens or legal permanent residents, operating either as lone wolves or in pairs, who have no formal connections or training from terrorist organizations such as al Qaeda or ISIS.

The homegrown terror threat poses a huge problem for U.S. law enforcement, as lone wolves are not communicating via email or on the phone with foreign terrorist organizations, the type of communications that can be intercepted by the U.S. intelligence community. How will it ever be stopped?

Brett's haunted childhood fostered an open mind and an attitude that anything is possible. This philosophy enabled Brett to find success working in such varied careers as visual arts, television production, and teaching.

It also inspired him to develop and pursue the gift of his psychic and paranormal abilities, which allows him to (remotely or in person): communicate with ghosts, angels, and other entities; clear ghosts, demons, and negative energy from locations and people; heal with energy; and perform spirit rescue, assisting spirits with moving on if they are stuck here.

When he's got permission from his wife, Brett rides off solo to explore the world on his motorcycle, often for months at a time, always seeking the paranormal. He has edited the footage from these rides and used them as the jumping off point for his YouTube channel, Casual Psychic.

Lorna Byrne - Angels

Marc Allen - The Greatest Secret of All

Kevin Sweeney knows pressure. Once when flying a mission, his plane hit an air pocket and was sent into what's called a Dutch Roll, which consists of an out-of-phase combination of "tail-wagging" and rocking from side to side. "I'll never forget the words of my crew member who went to check on the left wing engines when I asked him to see if they were on fire," Sweeney said. "He said, 'They aren't on fire. They're gone.'" Sweeney's first impulse was fear, but in a split second, another instinct took over. "I heard a little voice in me telling me to forget the fear and just work on getting out of it the way I was taught," he said. "It's easy to give in to panic and anxiety, but the secret is to gather your wits and focus on the best outcome, instead of spiraling downward contemplating the worst outcome." All four airmen on the plane received the Distinguished Flying Cross Medal, and Sweeney has gone on to a career as a successful executive, speaker and consultant. His knowledge of inflight emergencies is insightful for pilots and passengers alike, and the lessons learned from his life in the Air Force can be applied to most every element of our daily lives. Kevin Sweeney is a Lt. Colonel in the United States Air Force Air National Guard, a professional speaker and consultant, as well as author of the book Pressure Cooker Confidence, How to Lead When the Heat is On by BookSurge (www.sweeneyspeaks.com). He was a combat pilot in both Viet Nam and Desert Storm, and awarded the United States Air Force Distinguished Flying Cross, multiple Air Medals, and the Air Achievement Medal along with multiple other medals and awards. He's been an executive for a Fortune 50 company and also an Executive at a major software company. Educated with a MBA and two Bachelors degrees, he was also a collegiate All-Conference basketball player.
