Were You Still Talking?

Today, I am with Bob Coppes, a scientist and retired financier who has studied near-death experiences for decades. I'm ask him what those even are.

His latest book on NDEs "Impressions of Near-Death Experiences" (2023) contains a wealth of quotes from a variety of NDE experiencers. In 2023, he became a board member of IANDS, the International Association for Near-Death Studies. I watch a lot of videos and presentations from them.

We talk about what NDE’s are and are not, who has NDE’s, are there negative experiences when having an NDE and does everyone see or feel the same thing?

Episode #84 John Pabon

Great and inspiring conversation with John. We talked about saving the Earth! OK, let’s face it, it’s not the earth that really needs saving, it’s all the things that live on Earth.

Anyway, he has a much more positive view on the subject than I do, and it was a very refreshing conversation. There was also a bit of controversy, Ooooooh, everyone loves controversy!  

In his own words:

I’ve spent two decades in the business of saving our Earth. After leaving my role at the United Nations, I traveled the world studying the impacts of sustainability first-hand in factories, on fields, and at Fortune 500s. That’s given me a very unique perspective on what it takes to make a positive impact.

I’m a globally recognized expert in sustainability with a mission to move from theory to practical strategies that help people and businesses confidentially make real impact. To get there, I share my message through books, consulting to businesses, and keynote speaking to audiences around the world.

My global career has taken me from Los Angeles to New York, Shanghai to Seoul to Melbourne. I’ve had the privilege of working with the United Nations, McKinsey, A.C. Nielsen, and as a consultant with BSR, the world’s largest sustainability-focused business network. A decade of experience living and working in Asia inspired me to found strategic communications firm Fulcrum Strategic Advisors with a mission to help companies, governments, and individuals capitalize on the benefits sustainability offers.

I’m also a regular contributor to major publications such as CNN, EuroNews, and the ABC. I speak to an array of global audiences on issues of sustainability, geopolitics, communications, and societal change. I am the Program Director for The Conference Board’s Asia Sustainability Leaders Council, a member of the United Nations Association of Australia, and serve on the board of advisors to the U.S. Green Chamber of Commerce.

I am the author of “Sustainability for the Rest of Us: Your No-Bullshit, Five-Point Plan for Saving the Planet.” The book has been described as “…a foundational read for practical sustainability in the 21st century” and “…one of the best sustainability resources available to date.” I’m also excited to be helping consumers make smarter decisions through my second book, “The Great Greenwashing: How Brands, Governments, and Influencers are Lying to You,” out now.

Wow that was fantastic! What a great conversation with Taylor Morden, writer director producer and as it turns out neighbor. His documentaries include “The Last Blockbuster”, “Ska In The 90s”, “Unstuffed: A Build-A-Bear Story”, and soon to be released I hope “Getting Lost” a lost documentary. We talked about how he got started making documentaries, how he writes, how he edits, reaching out to celebrities, how important the sound is and much much more. Hope to have him back on the show soon.

Episode #80 With Dr. Carolle Jean-Murat:

Had a wonderful conversation with Dr. Carolle about being a medical intuitive, her books, Louise Hay, eating, praying, loving and much more.

More about Dr. Carolle,

Dr. Carolle Jean-Murat, MD, is a gifted medical intuitive, spiritual healer, board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist, trained primary care specialist, and burnout prevention coach.

Born and raised in Haiti, she comes from a family of shamans, herbalists, and midwives. She was educated in top universities in Haiti, Mexico, Jamaica, and the U.S. Fluent in four languages; she has practiced medicine in different settings, from academia in Haiti and the US to remote hospitals and community clinics in Haiti, Mexico, Native American reservations, and the US, giving her a broad-spectrum approach to medicine and invaluable multicultural knowledge.

Soon after starting her private practice in San Diego, California, she met many mentors, including Louise Hay, who became her patient. They taught her about the mind-body-spirit connection. At first, she quit obstetrics in the US, tired of performing unnecessary C-sections because of strict protocols, then gynecological surgery, realizing that stress was usually the root cause of her patient’s irregular bleeding – not her hormones. Finding the stressor and dealing with it would stop her from bleeding. She jokingly says she can help her patients “heal without a knife.” But it took an emotional and financial toll, and in her late 40s suffered severe panic attacks and had to reinvent herself.

Episode #79 With Liz Entin:

Today on the podcast I talked to Liz Entin. We talked about her book, her podcast, helping companies go to zero waste and a lot more.

From her website: Liz began examining if there was evidence of an afterlife and anything paranormal in 2015 following the passing of her father. While she still considers herself skeptical and an atheist, (although she’s a cultural Jew), the evidence really blew her away. She is the author of WTF Just Happened?!: A sciencey-skeptic explores grief, healing, and evidence of an afterlife. She is host of a podcast, WTF Just Happened?!: All about the afterlife. No woo. She also hosts “Science and Spirituality” private dinners, where an intimate group of you and your friends can learn more about the science behind an afterlife and get readings from highly evidential mediums who have been tested by scientists.

Fun fact that has nothing to do with the afterlife - she has a chihuahua Peanut who is famous for chasing and scaring Harvey Weinstein. She splits her time between New York and LA.

Today on the podcast I talk to Rob Gutro, an author, paranormal investigator, and medium with Inspired Ghost Tracking of Maryland.

Since he was a teen, Rob has been able to receive messages from ghosts or spirits who have crossed over. As a scientist, he provides scientific explanations about how energy is the baseline for the afterlife and the medium that entities use to communicate.

In 2005, Rob's late puppy passed away and inspired him to write his first book, which enabled him to communicate with pets. Rob actively participates in private paranormal investigations, helps ghosts cross over, and has provided countless messages from people or pets as ghosts or spirits.

Rob has even lived in a haunted house! Join us as we delve into the fascinating world of the paranormal with Rob Gutro.

Episode #77 With Blake Gauthier:

We chat about how he lost 300 pounds, why he changed his life, a bit about dieting and bodybuilding and living in a cabin in the woods.

In January 2018, weighing over 530 pounds Blake dropped dead from a heart attack while walking down the street. When he fell from the heart attack, he also tore his ACL in his left knee and damaged the MCL and LCL. Surgery was required to rebuild his knee and he also had angioplasty. 13 months later Blake suffered a second, much milder heart attack. Since then, Blake has lost over 300 pounds and has competed in bodybuilding shows, has had articles published in several magazines. Blake enjoys living in the country with his bulldog Bear and sharing his love for fitness by coaching others and helping them reach their goals as well.

Episode #76

On this episode I talk to Daniel Carey author of “Screenwriting Tribe,” "Dream Another Dream," "Dream Your World," and “Plant-based Regenerative Nutrition.” He is the founder of Screenwriting Tribe script incubation workshop in Los Angeles.

We talk about weird Hollywood, script writing, childhood trauma, someone we both know (small world) and much much more.

From the author:

When the pandemic caused the screenwriting workshop, I had been running for four years to be shut down, I got busy working on my books about life recovery, life redesign, and motivation.

The pandemic started just after the second edition of my screenwriting book was published, which is used as a text in film schools.

In March 2023, a screenplay I wrote about a religious cult made a list of the top unproduced screenplays in Hollywood. It's one of many screenplays I've written.

My book "Dream Another Dream: Recover and Reimagine Your Life" was published in June 2022. "Dream Your World: Fathom a New Life in which You can Thrive" was published in February 2023.

In "Dream Another Dream," I cover many topics about life intermixed with quotations of many people from throughout history. I also write of my childhood growing up in a household of many misfortunes and saturated with poverty, alcoholism, brutality, and depression. At age 16, I hitchhiked across country to escape the brutality.

Completely unprepared for life, as a troubled young adult I ended up homeless. I had to build my life from the ground up.

"Dream Your World" is a continuation of what I wrote of in "Dream Another Dream." In both books, I mixed the texts with philosophical and inspiring quotations from hundreds of people throughout history, all with the goal of inspiring life improvement.

For many years, I had worked as a ghost writer, helping a variety of writers with their manuscripts, and getting their books ready for publishing. Mostly, I worked on health and nutrition books. I decided that from now on I will only work on my own books.

In February 2023, my book "Plant-Based Regenerative Nutrition" was published. It is 400 pages, and includes claims backed by medical and science studies.

I live in Los Angeles, where I run Screenwriting Tribe script incubation workshop.

In 2020, I took the workshop virtual, on Zoom. Since November 2022, I also have an in-person workshop, and continue also holding the workshop on Zoom. Both workshops are for up to 17 members. I help writers polish their film and TV screenplays. I also polish screenplays for film producers.
