My guest today is David Meltzer, the Co-Founder and CEO of Sports1 Marketing and S1Media House.

Dave Meltzer has quite a fascinating story of experiencing extreme highs and lows in his life.

Marshall Goldsmith has recognized Dave as a Top 100 Business Coach and he is currently on an advisory board member to over 45 companies and charities. Dave is the executive producer and host to Entrepreneur's original show, Elevator Pitch, and he is the host of the Top 5 business podcast, titled “The Playbook.” Dave was awarded the Ellis Island Medal of Honor and Variety Magazine's Sports Humanitarian of the year—which we will talk a lot about.

Today Producer Paul and I are going to discuss the value and frustrations with deep friendships. I am finding in our new world of busyness and “friendship technology” like Facebook, etc. that many of us are finding ourselves without that old fashioned idea of deep and supportive relationships.

Oh, many of us have plenty of colleagues and acquaintances, but the resolve to have deep and supportive friendships is waning. I wonder what is going on. Are deep friendships even a value any more? Or are we satisfied with lesser-committed friendships in lieu of an increase in a bit more superficial relationships.

Let’s see what Paul has to add to this notion.

My guest today is Lindon Crow who is President of Productive Learning, a company whose goal is to help people become the best versions of themselves.

Lindon writes of his personal passion when he says, “For me, life is about helping people take ownership of their realities and set paths forward to uncover the greatest joys possible.  There is simply nothing more satisfying than watching an individual dig deep inside themselves and uncover truths they didn’t realize existed.”

One of the tools Lindon is expert with is called Emotional Intelligence, or commonly referred to as EQ (not IQ, EQ). Today I plan to get deep into EQ and more.

So let’s meet Lindon Crow.

My guest today is our regular friend, Terry Hershey.

Today Terry and I plan to chat about what Carl Yung calls the Shadow Side of our personalities, often referred to as the Dark Side. Given my personality I happen to have a mild love affair with my Dark Side, which is often not so acceptable by the norm.

So let get on with our conversation on a subject very dear to me.

Zig Ziglar once said, “There is a certain amount of dissatisfaction that goes with knowing your time, talent and abilities are not being properly used.”

You know I think I am a perpetually dissatisfied person. Partially that is because I am a dreamer and I regularly have ideas of new things to try. That has been my MO for most of my life. I like that. It leads to new activities and new ways of thinking.

So, what do you say we get this genuine conversation started? I say “genuine conversation” because so much is unscripted. I just want to see how it goes. So, let’s go…

My special guest today is becoming a regular on the show, perhaps because he is my personal life coach. I have to admit that I have learned as much from Dena as I have from any friend, coach or therapist. She truly is full of genius.

As you may or may not know I recently returned from one-month Uganda meeting with government officials and creating a Sanitation and Hygiene program for people in rural villages. (You can find out all about this on podcast #81 on Poverty.)

Today I want to talk to Dena about Archetypes and the unconscious and how that combination impacts every single thing we do.

You can reach Dena at www.denacrowder.com

My guest today is our good friend, Terry Hershey.

Today Terry and I plan to chat about the critical nature of trust and character. I’m curious about how we gain trust in a person and how much their character has to do with it.

It’s good to be home from Africa… I think. My body thinks it is 2:00 in the morning so I’m a bit brain dead. But that isn’t about to stop me from discussing some of my observations from Uganda in 2018.

The thing I’d like to focus on today is Poverty. Why is it that people that live in homes win dirt floors, no electricity, no running water, no access to clean drinking water, and dressed in tattered clothing seem to have a semblance of contentment where as people in the US suffer from depression, addictions, and suicide?

That is the conversation I’d like to have today.

Divorce can cause many problems.  But perhaps the least understood is "parental alienation" as children blame their parents for splitting up the family and refuse to speak to them. Or one parent poisons the children against the other spouse, leading to years of separation, anger and resentment. That's the topic today as Charlie speaks with a well known expert on this subject.
