  • Here is Local Government That Works!

    Local Government That Works.

     Do your City and Town get along? Are they at odds over what seems to you like trivial things? 

    None of that goes on between the Town of Plattsburgh, NY and the City of Plattsburgh, NY - in the Northeast corner of New York State near the Canadian Border. 

    These two Municipalities have been holding regular meetings for over a year, discussing how they can mutually benefit each other, and the entire region.   ..and it's working! 

    I sat down with Town of Plattsburgh NY Supervisor Michael Cashman and City of Plattsburgh NY Mayor Christopher Rosenquest to talk about just how the constant communication and action has helped to benefit the entire Plattsburgh NY region.  

    Plattsburgh has a famous Food Item - It's called a 'Michigan'.

  • Life After Prison: Giving Back - The Story of Curtis Brooks

    The Story of Curtis Brooks

     Curtis Brooks has been on the A&E Program: #kidsbehindbars  

     He was incarcerated at age 15.  

    On April 10, 1995 in Aurora, Colorado, 15-year-old Curtis Brooks was one of four teenagers involved in the death of Christopher Ramos as they tried to steal his car. As a result, Curtis was sentenced to life in prison without parole.  

    After 23 years in jail, Curtis was granted a resentencing. He spent a total of 24 years behind bars. This happened because the US Supreme Court ruled that it is unconstitutional to hand out such lengthy sentences to juveniles convicted of murder.  Curtis did not fire the shot that took the life of the boy.   There are all kinds of nuances associated with his case, readily available on the Internet. 

    The subject of this interview is to show what Curtis' life is like after Prison.  

    Curtis Brooks has done well for himself. Since being released on July 1, 2019, he lives in New York State's Capital District, is now married, has bought his first house, and is now in Sales.   This is his story, as told by Curtis himself.  This has an emphasis on what he considers to be his mission in life. I think you'll find it heartwarming. He really has the right attitude.  

    This is a special edition of 'The Bow Knows Who is Changing the World'.  It was my honor to speak with Curtis where he now is employed in Cohoes, NY.

  • Feed The Hungry - with Natasha Pernicka

    Feeding The Hungry: Who is Helping?


    Changing The World has a lot to do with Feeding the Hungry, as in keeping the population fed.

    Today's guest has a passion for those in need. Natasha Pernicka is the Executive Director at The Food Pantries for the Capital District, Inc. in Albany, NY.

    Her passion is evident.

    The power of working together in coalition, The Food Pantries for the Capital District strives to fill the gaps to make sure pantry shelves are full and people in need have nutritious food on the table.

    Note this is New York State related:

    Imagine trying to feed yourself on $4.50 a day. Without cheating. For most of us, that’s coffee and a treat. If you’re dependent on the monthly SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits, formerly known as food stamps, that $4.50 average daily allotment tends to run out by the third week. Take the “SNAP challenge” to experience why people living in a chronic food emergency often opt for cheap calories rather than healthful food. But for many, the emergency doesn’t end.

    43,500 people visit Capital District food pantries annually. However, according to Feeding America, more than 80,000 people—including 23,000 babies and children—in our region are food insecure, which means they lack access or resources to provide healthy food on a consistent basis. That’s one in 10 citizens.

    We break down what the Food Pantries actually do, where the food comes from, and talk about volunteering, among a variety of topics.

  • America's Simplest Business - with Brian Winch

    When a guest makes more than 1 appearance on this show - it's exhilarating!

    Brian Winch, CEO of Cleanlots, returns to 'The Bow Knows Who is Changing The World' to talk about how to start a litter pick up business, and get to six figures.

     Brian Winch is the author and creator of Cleanlots, America's Simplest Business. He has been involved in all aspects of the parking lot litter cleaning business since 1981.

     He can teach you how to start and operate a simple business based from home and make money from a green service that's almost as easy to do as going for a walk!

    The man is a genius.   He likes to Keep it Simple. 

     It works. Six Figures. 

     Here is what is on Brian Winch's company website: 

     'Has your parking lot become unsightly with littered PPE, fast-food wrappers, drink cups and cigarette butts?  Quality Maintenance Inc. has helped keep Calgary and area commercial properties and parking lots litter free since 1985. 

     Property managers and owners have trusted Quality Maintenance Inc. for over 35 years, to provide the most cost-efficient and effective service for maintaining their commercial property (parking lots, sidewalks, and landscaped areas) litter free.  

    Litter material creates an unsightly look that can tarnish your image in the community. Having your property cleaned by the start of each day is the smartest way to keep your property clean and looking great, year round.

     ------------------------------------  

    Brian is doing six figures with this - and this is a need that never goes away. 

    It isn't just in Calgary, Alberta, Canada - he's all over Canada, and the United States with this idea - and growing! 

    Brian is my guest on 'The Bow Knows Who is Changing the World'.

  • Having Trouble with your Team? - with Coach Jim Johnson

    Today's guest helps Business leaders and Educators build Championship Teams. The Coach is a Keynote Speaker, Conducts Leadership Workshops and Coaching, and is a published Author.

    The Coach breaks down the 7 Keys to Leadership, and why each of them is important when leading a group of people - whether it be a Basketball team or employees in a company.

    Over 30 years of experience developing winning high-school basketball teams, including 428 career victories, sets the stage for the unique credibility and power of Coach Jim Johnson’s message.

    Many speakers talk about leadership, but it’s rare to find a speaker who has, quite literally, lead thousands.

    In a moment later celebrated all over the world, Coach weighed risk with the potential for great opportunity for an autistic student-manager, Jason McElwain (JMac) catapulting Jim, the team, and JMac down a path of inspiration and hope. That one victory continues to reverberate into countless lives as audience after audience is touched by a wave of courage and tenacity and witnesses what true leadership can accomplish.

    Coach Jim Johnson’s life-changing message imparts a deeper awareness of the power of the human spirit. With a rare ability to take audiences far beyond a motivational talk and into a transformational experience, he reminds us of the magic of passion, perseverance, and the power of teamwork.

    Dreams Really Do Come True! is a timely, feel-good message that leaves people feeling re-charged and optimistic about the contribution they can make with their lives and the difference they can make in the lives of those around them.

    I could have talked the the Coach for a lot longer. There are many 'Golden Nuggets' of Wisdom in this interview. We hope you are inspired.
