Writers Nation Radio with Hosts Kaneen Morgan and Shalanda Norman with Guest Lisa Ryan & Heather Choate:

Chief Appreciation Strategist, Lisa Ryan, works with organizations to help them keep their top talent and best customers from becoming someone else’s. An internationally recognized gratitude expert and employee engagement speaker, her message has been shared by the Wall Street Journal, ABC, NBC and FOX. She is the author of eight books, and is featured in two films including the award-winning, “The Keeper of the Keys” with Jack Canfield of Chicken Soup for the Soul. 

Heather Choate was born in Littleton, Colorado. Most of her time is spent homeschooling her six children while trying to squeeze in spurts of writing when she can. She enjoys daydreaming of worlds and people that don’t actually exist but reflect the beauty and complicity of humanity. Her novels, Swab and Frayed Crossing are #1 bestsellers and her latest series, the Jonas Flash Chronicles, is warming hearts and minds across the globe. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2014 while pregnant with her sixth child, spurring her to write about her incredible journey in her memoir, Fighting for Our Lives. Writing is her escape from diaper changes and runny noses, but motherhood is the greatest journey and joy of her life.
