    Characters drive story development.
    When it comes to storytelling, one of the most important elements is the characters. They are the driving force behind the story’s development and the main source of emotion for the audience. This is especially true in the world of writing, where characters are given the space to take on a life of their own. As author Daniel Bautz explains, “I create characters before I even create the story. And I give space, even though I might have an ending in mind or a beginning, getting from the beginning to the ending, I leave that space for the characters to drive that process for me.”
    The characters are the heart and soul of the story, and they should be given the time and attention they deserve. A writer should take the time to get to know their characters, their motivations, and their relationships with other characters. This will help the writer to craft a believable and compelling story. Without the characters, the story would be nothing more than a dry and lifeless narrative.
    The characters should also be given the freedom to grow and evolve throughout the story. This will allow the audience to connect with them on a deeper level and to gain a better understanding of their motivations. It also allows for unexpected plot twists and unexpected character arcs, which can help to keep the audience engaged and entertained.
    In conclusion, characters are the driving force behind story development. A writer should take the time to get to know their characters, their motivations, and their relationships with other characters. This will help to create a believable and compelling story that the audience can connect with on a deeper level. Without the characters, the story would be nothing more than a dry and lifeless narrative.

  • Love is the Answer to All of Our Struggles and Challenges

    We all have a calling, a purpose in life that is uniquely ours. For some of us, it is easy to recognize, while for others it may take a lifetime to uncover. For Jeannie Thompson, a former Fortune 50 executive and author, it was a journey of self-discovery that led her to her true purpose.

    Jeannie started her career as an evidence-based psychotherapist, treating anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders. She then moved into the corporate world, leading high potential and leadership development programs and eventually becoming a Fortune 50 executive. After 12 years in the corporate world, she decided to explore the world of energy, something she had once made fun of. This exploration led her to become a Reiki master, certified yoga teacher, and to learn all she could about energy work and the power of the visible and the invisible.

    It was this journey of self-discovery that inspired her to write her book, 9-1-1 From Your Soul. In it, she shares her story of how she followed her soul’s calling to pursue a career that she was passionate about. She believes that when life challenges us, when our plans fall apart, we become open to exploring and expanding our understanding of wisdom and solutions that simply may not have been available before.

    Love is the answer to so many of our struggles and challenges. It is the answer to our innermost questions. It is the answer to our needs and wants. Love is the answer to our pain and suffering. It is the answer to our loneliness and despair. It is the answer to our fear and anxiety. It is the answer to our anger and sadness. It is the answer to our confusion and uncertainty.

    When we choose love, we can create a life of peace and harmony. We can make decisions that are based on love rather than fear. We can be more open to new ideas and opportunities. We can be more open to giving and receiving love from others. We can be more open to the joys of life, and to the opportunities that come our way. We can create a life of balance and harmony.

    Internet fails when needed most is a phrase that we can all relate to. We’ve all been there when we needed something from the internet and it just wouldn’t load. Whether it’s the news, a website, or a video, it can be incredibly frustrating when the internet fails us.
    Jim Mallard, the host of the Mallard Report, experienced this firsthand when he was looking for news stories to discuss on his show. He was specifically looking for odd news stories, but when he checked the Huffington Post, the top story was from 2017. Not only was this old news, but it also made Jim look like a clown in front of his live virtual audience.
    Jim wasn’t the only one who experienced internet failure that night. The Duck Pond, a live streaming platform, was also having issues. Jim had to wait for the page to reload before he could continue his show. He also had trouble loading a story about a missing clouded leopard in Dallas. It wasn’t until he checked the date that he realized the story was from January of that year.
    Internet fails can be incredibly annoying, especially when you need the internet to work the most. It can be even more frustrating when you’re trying to do something live, like Jim was. Thankfully, the internet eventually loaded and Jim was able to finish his show. But it’s a reminder of how unreliable the internet can be, and how it can fail us when we need it most.
    ## Six more weeks of winter.
    Recently, Jim was discussing the story of a data scientist who believes he’s solved the mystery of Bigfoot. He believes that many of the sightings of the creature could actually be black bears walking on their hind legs. He also believes that if there was a Bigfoot, there would be as many black bears as well. But there are two exceptions to his theory, as there have been sightings in Texas and Florida with little to no bear population.
    One of the questions Jim was asked was about the lack of snow in many areas this winter. While some may be enjoying not having to shovel, this lack of snow could cause a lack of water in the northeast and midwest. Jim mentioned that one inch of snow is worth about 10 inches of rainfall, so this lack of snow could be concerning.
    Jim also discussed Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog from Pennsylvania who is known for predicting the weather. Every year, people gather to watch Phil and determine if he will see his shadow or not. This year, Phil predicted six more weeks of winter, so it looks like we have a bit more cold weather to look forward to.
    In conclusion, the internet can be unreliable, but thankfully Jim was able to finish his show. The story of the data scientist and his theory about Bigfoot was interesting, and it was nice to hear Jim’s thoughts on the lack of snow this winter. Lastly, Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks of winter, so it looks like we have a bit more cold weather to look forward to.
    ## Don’t embezzle chicken wings.
    This week on Jim’s show, he discussed an interesting story about a woman in suburban Chicago who embezzled 1.5 million dollars in chicken wings. The story raised many questions, such as how she managed to steal so much and where the wings ended up. Jim also discussed the world record for face fist bumps and the best hot dog he ever had in Chicago.
    It is important to remember that embezzling is never a good idea. It is illegal and can have serious consequences. Even if the person is desperate for money, they should find another way to get it. There are many legitimate ways to make money and it is not worth the risk to steal.
    In addition, it is important to remember that stealing from a school district is especially wrong. Schools are already struggling financially and stealing from them only ma...

  • Exploring the South Pole with Wayne L. White: Surviving the Cold, Darkness and Pandemic

    Jim Malliard welcomes viewers to The Malliard Report, a podcast recorded in front of a live virtual audience. He reminds viewers that the views expressed on the show are not necessarily reflective of the show’s sponsors or affiliates. He then introduces his guest, author, explorer, and site manager of the South Pole, Wayne L. White, who has written a new book about his experience there.

    Jim and Wayne discuss the challenges of managing a 46-person crew in the South Pole, and Wayne shares his experience of walking in the winter darkness of the South Pole.

    Wayne White is an explorer who has walked thousands of miles and never missed a day outside. He joins us to talk about his incredible experience of becoming the station manager at the South Pole. Despite the hardships and feeling helpless of a global pandemic, Wayne and his crew prevailed and he is alive to talk about his journey.

    He explains that he had always been attracted to harsh conditions and the great explorers of the past, prompting him to pursue his dream of working overseas. He was lucky enough to land the job at the South Pole and is now honored to be able to talk about it. The conversation is about the speaker's experience of moving from the tropics to Antarctica. He had seen advertisements for the job and jumped at the chance to go. He was aware of the differences between the two places, including the temperature.

    He had grown up in the Midwest and had worked in Alaska, but never experienced cold like when he first arrived at the South Pole. The conversation also touches on the recent cold snap in the US and how it was a good day in Antarctica. In this conversation, Wayne talks about a picture of them taken by Dr. Jeffrey Chan after a long walk in the cold.

    They talk about how they were wearing warm clothes and knew how to deal with the cold weather. White also mentions budding photographers down there who practice during the winter and how the biggest challenge was the batteries due to the cold. They mention a video taken for the Explorers Club in 2020 which doesn't have any outtakes.

  • Gregory Shushan

    Gregory Shushan is the guest on the Malliard Report. He is the leading authority on near death experiences and afterlife across cultures and is the author of numerous books, including the most recent one, The Next World of Extraordinary Experiences of the Afterlife. Gregory and Jim are discussing Gregory's new book, The Next World: Extraordinary Experiences of the Afterlife. Gregory explains that his previous two books are published by Bloomsbury and Oxford University Press and are intended for an academic audience, which is why they come with a hefty $110 price tag. He wanted to write something more accessible and affordable for people interested in near-death experiences. His new book looks at the idea of the afterlife from different cultural and religious perspectives. It is both accessible in terms of academic language and affordable for readers. The narrator has always been interested in unusual phenomena and began exploring after reading a book called Phenomenon. During his first degree in Egyptian archeology, he noticed similarities between ancient Egyptian beliefs of the afterlife and near-death experiences, such as leaving one's body and entering a realm of light and meeting a being of light. He decided to pursue the subject and make his work accessible to a broader audience. The conversation discussed near-death experiences (NDEs) and how they are symbolically expressed in ancient cultures. It was mentioned that in ancient Egypt, the dead were associated with the god Osiris and that part of the afterlife journey involved encountering the corpse of Osiris in the other realm. This realization that the corpse is one and the same as the dead body on Earth is what allows the spirit to continue on to the afterlife. Contemporary NDEs involve the spirit rising out of the body and looking down to see their dead body lying there. This realization allows them to accept the reality of what is happening to them and accept their own death. Gregory then explains that the NDE is not the only way to explore the afterlife. He suggests that lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences, astral projection, and other forms of non-ordinary consciousness can allow us to explore the next world. He also discusses the importance of integrating these experiences into one's daily life and how they can help to facilitate a deeper understanding of life and death. Finally, Jim and Gregory discussed the importance of looking at the afterlife from a spiritual perspective, and how it can help to provide comfort and understanding in our own lives.

  • Tanner Campbell

    Jim Mallard welcomes Tanner Campbell to the show. Tanner is a philosophy writer and podcaster who focuses on bringing the philosophy of stoicism out of the pages of history and modernizing it to a more practical and useful way of individuals living today.

    During the interview, Tanner discusses his new book, Living Well: Stoic Ideas for a Better Life, and how stoicism can be applied to modern day situations. He shares some tips on how to live a more stoic life, including the importance of self-awareness, focus, and detachment. Zeno of Citium was a Greek philosopher who founded the Stoic school of thought in 300 BCE. He got the idea for Stoicism after he was shipwrecked and lost everything he owned. He went to the Oracle of Delphi for guidance and she told him to take on the power of the dead.

    Zeno interpreted this to mean that he should study the great thinkers of the past and learn from their wisdom. Stoicism is a philosophy that emphasizes self-control, rationality, and stoic acceptance of the things we cannot change.

    In the 300 BC, a man named Zeno of Citium had a dream in which the goddess Athena told him to become a philosopher. He took this to mean that he should become pale like the dead, as pale people at the time were often indoors reading books. He went on to found the philosophy of Stoicism, which is based on the idea that the only good is the development of a virtuous character. Stoicism quickly caught on, and Marcus Aurelius, who reigned from 160-180 AD, is considered the poster boy of Stoicism.
