Tough Talk Christian Radio with Host Tony Gambone with Special Guest Duane Stjernholm & William Hollis:

Duane D. Stjernholm (Pen Name Dane Starland) was born in La Junta, Colorado, a small town in the southeastern corner of the state. Raised in nearby Cheraw, an even smaller town, he graduated Co-Valedictorian from Cheraw High School and continued his education at Colorado State University in Ft. Collins, earning a B.S. Degree in Psychology. Seeking to explore the world in search of adventure, he joined the Peace Corps and spent two years in the Philippines working in Rice Irrigation Water Management in the Province of Pampanga, and subsequently teaching Introductory Social Sciences at the University of the Philippines at Los Baños, Laguna.

Recovering from “Reverse Culture Shock” upon his return to Colorado, he attended the Iliff School of Theology in Denver earning a Master of Arts in Religion Degree, specializing in Religious Philosophy and Metaphysics. Soon after graduation from Iliff he was fortunate to attend a live speech by the renown World Citizen and Inventor, R. Buckmaster Fuller, who inspired him on his current 35 year Mission of changing the prevalent mind-set of humanity from competition to cooperation and collaboration in order to Co-Create the Greatest and Highest Good. 

William Hollis lived a life that, without the ability to persevere, one is usually destined to fail. His energy is felt through a strong presence that accompanies Hollis during speaking engagements. His emotions are transmitted to the audience through the detailed stories he tells. Without notecards, scripts, outlines, or preparation, Hollis delivers his story leaving a mark on the audience with an everlasting impression of what life is like for those who grow up in the broken cities of America.
