Welcome To Earth Stories

What does a few Canadians, a couple of Swedes, a couple of Hungarians, one obnoxious American, and one cute Korean girl have in common? They're all trapped on a plane at the edge of the North Pole.

There's nothing better this Christmas season than to hear a great story. This story placed a smile on my face and I hope it does the same to you.

Is the advent of AI our long awaited Saviour, or is it the birth of Skynet

Earlier this year I was invited to the Write Hive panel about AI in book publishing. Our conversation went beyond publishing to a more philosophical musing about where this technology is heading.

Many of my stories revolve around AI, a good example is Escape From Wokeville, go back and give it a listen.

It's my Mom's 80th birthday, let's board the time machine and travel to 1943

Special Episode

Sometimes we have impulsive and inspirational ideas but we don't take action. We give ourselves excuses of why it can't work. We feed our inspiration with logic before it reaches the clouds.

I'm definitely guilty of this. My mind is a factory of ideas that remains on the conveyor belt.

Life seems easier when you play it safe. With nothing to lose and nothing to gain you can sail through life unnoticed.

You can live a painless existence by not ruffling any feathers.

But who desires that?

The people we admire are the risk takers, the cliff divers.Those people who ride the waves rather than observing them in their lawn chairs.

I learned in this episode that being impulsive is not a bad thing. Sure you can go overboard if you're not careful but the right kind of impulsiveness is pure magic.

Also in this episode you'll hear my Mom for the first time.

You may have heard about my fall from grace, of how my actions tore apart the integrity of this show. Instead of having my good name smeared across social media I want to set the record straight.

Emergency Episode

I am not a fan of public apologies, especially from celebrities and politicians, because they come across as wooden and insincere. You could tell a lawyer or PR person whipped up this apology in the lab. They made sure to include all the key words and leave out words that will incriminate them.

Most of the time the written speech does not match their personality or communication style. It looks, smells and tastes fake. We know they’re just going through the motions. Some people accept the apology, most people call foul. And there’s a third category of people you can never please.

This third category looks for blood in the open seas and waits for the opportune time to pounce. They never had your back or even a modicum of the best intentions. Your apology is an invitation to inflict damage. It fuels their self-righteousness and their lustful desire to bring you down.

Hopefully my public apology will suffice and most of you will move on, but I’m not holding my breath.

Even in the most severe circumstance there is light

Season 1, Episode 1

This story was inspired when my car skidded off the road and landed almost upside-down in a ditch.

This is not the first time I've been in a car accident.The benefit: it makes for a great story, the second benefit is a new appreciation of life.

The second benefit outweighs the former by a long shot.Whenever someone gets close to the Grim Reaper they evaluate their life. They determine their goals and priorities.

Thank you for listening to the first episode and please invite a friend to listen.

Some people say to live in the “now” what does that mean, and is it even true? In this bonus episode we’ll peel back the curtain and take a look at the concept of time.

If you are an avid listener one of my favorite topics is time, from traveling forward or backward or understanding it philosophically. As I was recording this episode I was tempted to create a podcast all about time.

We spend our days held hostage by the clock as we move from one appointment to the next, from one deadline to the other. Thousands of dollars is spent on time management courses to figure out how to stretch or compartmentalize time. 

Time saving techniques are developed to make us more efficient. With tremendous discipline you can structure your life and move to the next level. 

The question remains, what is time?

Not even Solomon in all his wisdom defined it, and not even Einstein in all his science fully comprehended it. 

Your humble podcaster doesn’t have the wisdom of Soloman and the brilliance of Einstein to attempt to answer this query. My role is to get us thinking and I hope this episode achieves this goal.
