WORLD GONE GOOD

Life coach/Writer Kristy Hinds returns for her second time to our show to share the good of intentions, goals, goal setting, loving yourself, and jumpstarting your new year right. Kristy doesn't believe in 'New Year ReSolutions' - no, no - she prefers 'New Years ReVolutions.' Who's ready to revolutionize your new year? I know I am. We also discuss retreats in Ojai and General Hospital - we are all over the end of 2021 map. Enjoy this spirited, insightful and inspiring conversation. Oh and Happy New Year.

Singer/Songwriter Mark Gibson shares the good of his music, faith, and being constantly and consistently creative. The pandemic hit us all pretty hard but for Mark, it fueled his newest album Hymnals from the Plains. He reveals where a song starts and how to just keep going even in the hardest times. If you're like me and music is one of your favorite things, this one's for you.

Laura Brody is an artist, costumer, and quite possibly, ahead-of-her-time visionary. What does she envision? A world where people with disabilities feel just as beautiful and empowered as everyone else. When she sees a cane, walker or wheelchair, she sees the starting point for her next transformation. Through her incredible project, Opulent Mobility, Laura reimagines the ugly into the glamorous with many of her pieces actual working works of art. Life - and art - is all about perspective and her perspective is equal parts unique and uplifting.

Let's get merry with Batsheva Frankel, Mark Gibson, James Pettit, and Margot Potter for our 2nd Annual Holidays Gone Good episode. We're celebrating the season with good stories of Hanukkah Grateful Dead concerts, forced family fun, and a step-by-step guide to becoming best friends with Elvis right before Christmas. This oh-so-good episode also features original music from Mark Gibson's new album, 'Hymnals from the Plains.' Grab your latkes and fill up your mug with egg nog (or vodka), the holiday party of the year is right here.

Kristina Wong never thought sewing masks would turn into a published book and an off-Broadway hit show but life doesn't always turn out the way we expect, now does it? From performer to politician to activist, Kristina wears so many hats - or in this case, masks - many of them at the same time, even she can't keep track. When the pandemic hit, she had a calling to DO something, so she found her own light in the darkness, and the Auntie Sewing Squad was born. They delivered thousands upon thousands of masks - and much more including a used ambulance - to people and communities in need. Ever the over-achiever, Kristina didn't stop there: She published the book, THE AUNTIE SEWING SQUAD GUIDE TO MASK MAKING, RADICAL CARE, AND RACIAL JUSTICE, based on her year-long experience. And then she decided to over-over-achieve her over-achievement and KRISTINA WONG, SWEATSHOP OVERLORD opened off-Broadway on November 4th to rave reviews. She's equally inspiring as she is hilarious and apparently never sleeps. Her journey will rally you to create a good squad of your own.

What's good about...CANCER? Crystal Carson is going to tell us what - and how - she found her good. She's a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister - she's also an actor and an acting coach - and she's living with stage 3 breast cancer. She's lived the dark part, now she's ready to share the light, the good she's discovered within others, and most importantly, within herself. Nine out of ten people will deal directly with cancer in their lifetime and that makes finding the positives all the more important.

What is your purpose? Project One00 is a volunteer initiative that aims to help others find their bigger purpose, by sharing stories that help us connect with the deeper reasons of why we do what we do, and help us pick a direction towards a more fulfilled life. They believe everyone deserves to feel inspired doing what they do, making a positive impact on the things they really care about, working alongside the people that believe what they believe, and moving the needle towards the world we all want to live in.

It's an international discussion as Project One00 Discovery Partners Jeroen Frumau from the Netherlands, Valentina Coco from Switzerland, & Daniel Herrera from Mexico share their good and help us learn how to find our own personal north star.
