  • Horse Whisperer Grant Golliher, Award Winning Journalist & Author Kevin Davis, and Ginger Ontiveros

    Erin is joined by Grant Golliher. In Think Like a Horse, veteran “horse whisperer” and leadership expert Grant Golliher applies his hard-won horse sense to teach invaluable lessons anyone can use to live a fuller, more successful life. He is what some would call a “horse whisperer,” able to get a wild horse to calmly accept a saddle and a rider without the use of force. Through training thousands of horses, many traumatized or abused, Golliher was able to learn essential lessons about communication, boundaries, fairness, trust, and respect—lessons that apply not just to horses but to humans as well. It’s why celebrities, Fortune 500 ex­ecutives, professional coaches, supreme court justices, and even ordinary families from around the world flock to his Wyoming ranch every year to take part in what one CEO called “the most transformational experience I have ever encountered.” 

    In celebration of our first anniversary, Erin continues airing a two-part interview with Ginger Ontiveros, Executive Director of Making Hope Happen Foundation about the purpose and start of Uplift San Bernardino.

    Erin re-airs an interview from March 1, 2017 with award-winning journalist and author Kevin Davis about the controversy of using brain scans in courtrooms. In his book, Brain Defense, Kevin offers a timely discussion of how our legal system has changed, and must continue to change, as we broaden our understanding of the remarkable human mind.
