The Malliard Report: Where the Paranormal Meets Pennsylvania Grit.

https://open.substack.com/pub/malliard/p/live-calls-10-11-2022?r=1tve5b&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

 

The current state of the nation is without a doubt, in one of the more volatile times in its history. No matter where you sit on the political spectrum, it is safe to say that things are not going well. Record high inflation, fuel prices, and overall costs of living plague the average American who already is more than likely buried under some other form of non-mortgage debt. (Student loans, medical expenses, et.al.) Pile that under civil discord, international unrest, and a handful of other headlines de ‘jour (take whatever flavor of fear mongering you want today) and you have a perfect recipe for a barn burner of an election.

This week on The Malliard Report, Jim takes on the wild challenge of every first Tuesday of the month and opens the lines up for live calls. While there is always an element of surprise and unexpectedness, a live call show is always a favorite. While still the open forum of a live call show, this episode maintains a theme and theme centric discussion. The continual downward spiral of the current two-party system, and the implementation of a viable third party. Maybe something like a “Malliard Duck Party.” Could we make it a thing? Jim has already secured the domain name, so it must be real right?

Live calls are always a great show, and the callers’ insights are truly the best out there. Make sure you are not missing out on the action yourself. Join us every Tuesday in the Duck Pond live chat over on malliard.com, 9 P.M. EST. Remember to rate and subscribe through your favorite podcast app, and follow Jim on social media @mallaird.

At this point it is no surprise that the last two and half years has driven change and created new platforms in which people live and work. The work environment looks nothing like what it did just three years ago. To accept such a drastic change is challenging enough, but to become the norm is an entirely different ball of wax. But that is where we are now. Companies can exist with employees working out of their offices and bedrooms. Along with that, the educational systems have had to overcome the exact same trials and obstacles the work forces encountered. For years, colleges have allowed people to earn degrees without even setting foot upon a campus. So why has it taken this long (and an event of this caliber) to make that shift into primary education?
This week on The Malliard Report, Jim features a guest that has taken on this challenge head on, but from a totally different viewpoint. It is one thing for schools to put into place the infrastructure to accommodate virtual learning, but what about the parents? Just like working from home, learning from home is a skill that many people were forced to learn, and learn quickly. Jim’s guest Tillie Elvrum made it her goal to do just that. To work with parents and children to get the most benefit out of their virtual learning experience.
“Tillie Elvrum is an education advocacy pioneer with experience at the state and national level. She founded Elvrum Consulting after two decades of education reform and school choice advocacy. With a background in communications, early childhood education, and personal experience as a parent advocate, Tillie specializes in grassroots organizing, parent engagement, school choice policy, and innovative education models. Tillie previously served as President of the National Coalition for Public School Options Board of Directors where she led a network of advocates in 30 states. She worked to advance policies that would increase educational opportunity for students in statehouses across the country and on Capitol Hill. She currently serves as President of the Colorado Coalition of Cyberschool Families Board of Directors and leads the Parent Support for Online Learning initiative. She previously served as a board member for the Ohio Coalition of E-School Families and as board treasurer for Ohio Connections Academy. Additionally, she serves as an advisor to Spark Mindset, Inc. — a social enterprise company for cybersecurity education and training.”
While a lot of us have adopted a lifestyle around this from home system, Tillie certainly has created methods that make it much easier. If you are struggling with it, or just wanting to try and make it better for yourself, or your child check out Tillie’s website parents4support.com.

“Woo Woo For Your Boo Hoo.” Psychic abilities have been long researched, tried, debated, and utilized for centuries. While many “academics” may be quick to write it off, the fact is that there is something to it. Why else would the CIA put so much time and money into conducting tests like remote viewing and OBE research? This week on The Malliard Report, Jim welcomes a guest that has jumped far into the deep end when it comes to this kind of stuff. This week Jim welcomes Julie Guthrie Smulson who happens to be a remote viewer, medium, channeler, healer, wearer of many other hats, and is here to discuss her incredibly busy life doing such.

“Julie is an Author, Spiritual Healer & Podcaster. As an author Julie is passionate about sharing her lifetime and lifetimes of experiences with the world. Julie’s intention in all that she does is to help others overcome their personal traumas and challenges so they can become happy and thriving individuals. Through Julie’s own personal traumas and challenges she has been endowed with the gift of being a highly sensitive empath. Julie’s empathic abilities allow her to help others through her business Spiritual Alchemy Energy Transfigurations as a Reiki Master/Teacher and Sound Healer. Julie developed a strong belief in spiritual healing from her own healing journey. Julie’s journey has led her to start her podcast Spiritual Alchemy Energy The PODCAST with Julie. Julie’s podcast highlights other healers, lightworkers and authors. Julie believes that everyone possesses unique and special gifts that they are sent here to share with others. Julie believes that the healing process takes many different forms and paths to find that golden gift within each one of us, but when that golden gift is found and utilized in the world – the world is forever changed for the better.”

Everybody has a genesis in their passion journey. For some, it is seeing a musician play an instrument or piece that absolutely captivates them. Others may be enthralled by the grace and moves of a dancer or inspired by an athlete that causes themselves to push their very own limits. Sometimes inspiration comes from the most unusual sources. One could say this week’s guest was inspired by a single piece sheet metal, and that piece of sheet metal has turned into a successful sports marketing team. This week Jim welcomes Tim Leonard to the show.
Tim Leonard is the head of Leonard Motorsports Marketing. Sports marketing is something of an unusual genre of business. Most sports marketing is usually done by mega companies attaching themselves to team/sports uniforms or having an elite player wear a particular item while on the court or pitch. This most often involves absurdly large amounts of money that most of us simple folk would not even begin to fathom. However, motorsports seem to be the one outlet that a “regular” person or smaller company can access. For a relatively (compared to some other sports) small fee, a company can get their logo out on a professional car/bike/etc, for an entire community to see, and this is exactly what Tim does. Tim is the catalyst for those wanting to get themselves out there, and he’s darn good at what he does.
Tim has an amazing story to tell of overcoming some serious personal obstacles, to building a successful marketing firm that he continues today. Want to get your logo/company/name out there? (Heck, if you want to help sponsor a Malliard Report car) reach out to Tim through their Leonard Motorsports Marketing social media platforms.

What seems to be a near monthly occurrence, the morning news highlights the latest in the billionaire’s pissing contest, and we get to watch another rocket hurdle through the atmosphere. While the achievements are absolutely remarkable, and the fact that space travel has now become a “civilian’s” game, it still sits in the “unobtainable” category for the average person. You, me, or any other Joe Schmoe can’t really hedge any bets that we will be bolting ourselves into a seat, strapped to literal millions of pounds of thrust any time soon. Let alone be able to afford to do so. (Maybe you can, and I apologize for assuming otherwise) But what if there was an easier way? Something that could be done at the touch of a button, like…and elevator. Yes, and elevator to space. This week on The Malliard Report, Jim welcomes Neal Lachman. Neal is a disruptor in the space travel game, and he is here tonight to share those ideas.

Neal has more than 32 years of business experience, including 26 years in finance and technology. He is a thoroughly experienced, energetic, and bold investor who is “cut from entrepreneurial cloth.” Neal is also a pragmatic and strategic planner with a long-term business philosophy. Neal is a telecoms pioneer and an outspoken entrepreneur; his opinion (often conveyed through White Papers since 2000) has earned him the respect from one part of the industry, as well as severe dislike from another part. Neal prides himself in having correctly called most of the telecom and technology trends and developments since 2000, often contrarian to commonly understood trends.

This is a great episode, and Neal has a viewpoint that is unlike anything we really have seen on The Malliard Report to date. It’s not often you get someone that has a firm grasp on the reality of space travel. You can follow the Space Industry Disruptor himself on Twitter @nealx1.

Podcasts are everywhere. They are part of our daily lives. While we are at the gym, on our way to work, chores around the house, or sometimes just comforting background noise, we always have our favorite content ready to go; True crime, DIY, self-help, spooky stories, and conspiracies all neatly packaged in easy to search UI on our favorite platforms. But, not that long ago in the grand scheme of things, this burgeoning new wave of content was difficult to access. Resources and topics were few and far between and figuring out how to get your creation out there and discovered were new and uncharted territories. This week’s guest on The Malliard Report was on the forefront of that expedition. Today, Jim welcomes the Godfather of podcasting, Jeff Townsend.
“Jeff has been creating content for over 15 years, with over 1.5 million views/listens/downloads across various platforms. After taking a break for several years to focus on his career in Marketing, he is now back in the mix of things with this new passion project: Indie Podcaster Jeff, AKA Podcast Father, interviews content creators of all stripes on Indie Podcaster podcast. What is it they're passionate about? What drives them? His goal is to highlight and promote creators and artists. Some may be well known; others are lesser known but just as spirited. Jeff is bringing you the stories of independent creators on Indie Podcaster. Join him on this journey, as the Indie Podcaster.”
This is a fun episode because you get to peek into the past and understand what it was like to blaze a trail of a medium that was still in its infancy. You can follow Jeff’s work over on his website podcastfather.com or catch him on Twitter @podcast_father.

Our journey through life is difficult. There is no other way around it. We face challenges everyday from outside sources on a near constant basis; things we can control, things we can’t, people that seem to have the soul purpose to just make our lives hell. Then there is our biggest critic that we stare down, wrestle with, and feel like we lose to constantly. Ourselves. Navigating our own hang-ups, spiritual challenges, and never ending critiques, we truly our own worst enemy. This week on The Malliard Report, Jim welcomes a guest who has a purpose to help those that may be lost on their journey, in addition to being a prolific medium, and a background dancer in a 70s musical that we love. This week Jim Welcomes Vincent Genna to the show.

Acclaimed as the “truly authentic” gifted healer, Vincent is known for using his extraordinary gifts, academic credentials, and all-loving approach to embolden others to dive deep within to release their blocks and resistances and feel inspired and empowered! For almost four decades, Vincent has helped thousands of people around the world heal, unlock, and release their passions and purpose, and transform their lives through his inspiring and enlightening radio and television interviews, dynamic and powerful keynote presentations, workshops, training classes, and private sessions. Relatable, greatly compassionate, humorous, and a gifted mystic healer, Vincent offers his clients the opportunity for deep emotional healing, radical spiritual awakening, and the key to make everything they attempt work.

Vincent certainly brings an energy to the show (and everywhere he goes) and makes for a great episode. If you would like to book a personal session or attend a speaking event of Vincent’s, head over to vincentgenna.com. You can also contact him through social media @vincent_genna_msw.

What are the two things that we are told never to discuss at the dinner table? Especially with in-laws. Religion and Politics. With technology and the age of information that we live in, you would think that discussing ideas of those two categories would be lively, engaging, civilized. But we could not be any further from such a position. We fight and bicker over the most non-sensical, out-of-context bits, and try to claim the higher ground. This week on The Malliard Report, Jim welcomes a guest that dives headfirst into both topics regularly with his own Podcast “Talkin’ Politics and Religion Without Killin’ Each Other.” This week we sit down with Corey Nathan and discuss just that…religion and politics.

Corey was raised in an observant Jewish household attending an Orthodox synagogue. His family is mostly from Brooklyn, New York, but Corey grew up in Jersey. In his late 20s, much to the family’s chagrin, Corey became a born-again Christian. Not long after this epiphany, he began to find many of the default social and political positions of contemporary American Evangelicalism to be at odds with the very Scriptures that are supposed to be Christians’ authority for how to engage in the world.

If you are looking at diving into politics and religion without killing anyone, make sure to head over to Corey’s podcast home politicsandreligion.us and give his show a listen.

We get a dopamine rush when we see the social media notification that someone liked our content. We strain ourselves to our very max at our job to chase up proverbial ladders. We destroy small businesses because we want our product within 2 days or less. We throw fits because a coffee shop doesn’t have our favorite flavor syrup. It is without question that we live in a “me centered” culture. What happens though when we take ourselves out of the equation and put the focus on others. We go that extra mile for someone. Well, this week on The Malliard Report, Jim welcomes Rabbi Manis Friedman to the show to discuss just such things.

Rabbi Manis Friedman is a Hassid rabbi, author, social philosopher, and public speaker. He is also the dean of the Bais Chana Institute of Jewish Studies. Friedman authored Doesn’t Anyone Blush Anymore?, which was published in 1990 and is currently in its fourth printing. In 1971, inspired by the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Friedman as a shaliach (“emissary”) cofounded the Bais Chana Women International, an Institute for Jewish Studies in Minnesota for women with little or no formal Jewish education. Friedman has lectured in cities throughout the US, as well as London, Hong Kong, Cape Town, and Johannesburg in South Africa, Melbourne and Sydney in Australia, and several South and Central American cities.

Rabbi Manis is a fantastic speaker and guest. You can find him on YouTube and on his personal site itsgoodtoknow.org.
