The Zilosophy Podcast

John Antonio author of Always Say Hi: An Introverts Guide to Overcoming Rejection joins Z on the podcast to explain how he got past being introverted.  They also discuss how John's simple system helped Z turn Zilosophy on Golf into an Amazon #1 Best Seller in just a matter of weeks!  

This is not a political podcast but it is about how the political unrest has allowed many of us to lose our way.  The divisiveness is so strong that good people are forgetting to stand for love and unity.  Instead they are acting hateful and divisive while claiming to be loving and tolerant.  Each of us is responsible to go inward and project the love we want out into the world REGARDLESS of who is president or any other external circumstance.  "Darkness cannot drive out darkness.  Only light can do that.  Hate cannot drive out hate.  Only love can do that" -MLK

The Zilosophy Podcast is back, and better than ever after a long layoff!!  In this episode Z hands the hosting duties off to Valerie Z (aka @theradiantwarrior) so she can interview him about Zilosophy on Golf and how the important messages within can help awaken men all over the world to be more patient, accepting and ultimately more kind.  

Howard Myers earned a purple heart and a Vietnam land mine left him blind.  What he did after that is extraordinary.  Howard became a top salesman for Mass Mutual Insurance, water and snow skied, ran 10 mile races,  partied in Vegas and drove cars...all as a blind man!  Howard, his son  Blind Vision (and co-author) Chad and their friend/ colleague Chris Viel join the podcast to explain how Howard used Post Traumatic Growth to become a better father, husband and a more successful all around person.  If excuses are stopping you in life, Blind Vision can teach you how to blow them out of the water.  Email [email protected] to book the Blind Vision team for your next workshop.  

Aaron Swan joins the podcast to discuss how he overcame trauma by using meditation and self-awareness to take a journey inward to become the best person he can be in order to use his gifts to help others.  

 Liz Padula went from Silicon Valley tech madness to becoming founder and owner of Artemis Yoga in Watertown, MA.  She joins Z for a discussion about the Artemis Yoga Community and what it's been like to run a community-facing yoga business during this crazy time.  Yoga is a great way to learn to stay present during chaos, among all the other benefits.  

Z's college buddy Todd Ohlmeyer joins the podcast from Austin Texas.  Ohly was on the Pepperdine '97 National Championship Golf Team, spent 10 years as head coach at St. Edward's U and coached at Coastal Carolina.  His dad, Don Ohlmeyer, was one of the biggest legends in sports broadcasting history as the first producer of Monday Night Football and the man who brought The Skins Game to national TV among other giant accomplishments that are too plenty to list.  Z and Ohly discuss the current changing landscape in college golf and share some stories from back in the day.  

Famed Documentarian and Z's friend, Peter Miller pops into the podcast to discuss why he makes films that tell unique stories.  He has has been directing, producing, and writing films about history, social issues, and music for over twenty-five years. His documentaries tell human stories – of idealists, underdogs, visionaries, and not-so-ordinary Americans.  Some of his amazing films include Aka Doc Pomus, Jews in Baseball and Sacco and Vanzetti.  

CEO Andrew Holets and 4 kids from the ProKids/ First Tee San Diego Program join Z for a discussion about the Core Values they've learned from being in the First Tee program and how those values are helping them cope with life in a very real way.  If you're one of the people that has little faith in younger generations you have to hear how these young people look at life.  It is incredibly inspiring and moving. With kids like these, the future is BRIGHT!  

Eli Paperboy Reed joins Z about a discussion about the changing live performance business and the dichotomy of feeling stuck on the road as a touring artist vs. now being stuck at home and unable to tour.   They also get into talking about why it's more important ever to support artists if we truly value art as a part of our world that emerges from all of this.
