Hey thanks for listening. David here and I’ve been thinking about the conversation we had last night at dinner. And while i’m at it, The dinner consisted of a garlic and balsamic marinated skirt steak on the grill with grilled summer squash, zucchini, onions. A great butter leaf salad and a double chocolate cake that bill made for desert.
Once again we found ourselves telling stories about getting older and of course the question keeps coming up “at what point did we realize we were old.

Robert Thor had no idea what a strange journey his life would be. Born into a loving family in the heart of the Bronx, New York, then moving to the Gulf Coast of Florida, Robert enjoyed a happy and nearly charmed life. His deeply religious upbringing gave him the strength to weather any storm; that is until he and his wife were introduced to famous, flamboyant, and friendly Lou Pearlman, the ultimate con man in disguise.
Lou is best known for his creation of the iconic 1990’s boy bands, NSYNC, and The Backstreet Boys. What people didn’t know was that Lou created an international Ponzi scheme to fund these popular musical endeavors. When this carefully built house of cards fell, Pearlman’s unsuspecting investors lost nearly a half a billion dollars. This book chronicles Robert Thor’s idyllic family life and his near rags to riches story. Discover how his reputation and carefully developed career came tumbling down when he was unwittingly embroiled in one of the largest Ponzi schemes in American history. Central to Lou Pearlman’s takedown to justice, Robert lost in ways he never imagined.

Welcome to yak about today, I’m david yakir and i’ve been thinking. I’ve been thinking about empathy. Theres been a great deal of talk about how the current occupier of the white house lacks empathy. I’m not sure many people know what that means. When Bill Clinton said “I feel your pain” was that an example of empathy.
There are many definitions of empathy that encompass a broad range of emotional states, but basically it is our capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing.
What role does empathy play in today’s modern society? What is the role of empathy in business.
I’ve invited Minter dial, whose new book Heartificial Empathy answers many of those questions. So that’s what we’ll yak about today.
 
Heartificial Empathy: Now on Amazon

We are Transitioning!
 
Ralph Fuccillo and David Yakir talk Transitions. What are thinking when as we age. How do we look at ourselves? What do we see in the mirror when we look? What events in our lives shaped who we are?
Is it time to give back to the community on our own terms?

Thanks for joining us. I’m David yakir and you are listening to yak about today. And as always - I’ve been thinkin.
So, that’s what we’ll yak about today.
So my friends you must have noticed that at the beginning of the show I didn’t say i’ve been thinking about a particular topic or we had a guest interview.
Nope, I’ve just been thinking.
You see, every year or so - usually around New Years, I re-evaluate the show. try to find ways to improve the show. Get the feedback. Look at the shows that work - and those that don’t.
Also, I look at the emails and tweets that have recommendations.
And by the way, I enjoy the emails, tweets that are complimentary. The criticisms - well not so much - but they are teaching moments I guess.
and as you all know much of the communications that we in the media receive these days are over the top and extreme at times. The compliments can almost make you feel godly. And some of the criticisms are either borderline hate mail or somewhat threatening.
It used to be that the majority of the hate mail was gay related. That has been surpassed by some very strong opinions about politics.
But as most of you know, This show has been always dedicated to the wiser and more mature of us, covering topic that may be helpful as we age, From technology to health and nutrition - finances, employment opportunities - learning to be an entrepreneur or even how to improve your memory. And at times the arts.
And as you know and hear every week at the beginning of the show, we say if you are familiar with the years 46 to 64 than this is the place you want to be.
But that only works if we are covering the topics that are important to you or have conversations that you relate to.
I always ask this time of year for you to email me or tweet me with your suggestions for topics and conversations that you’re interested in. The more i receive the better the show is.
Sending in your thoughts and ideas allows me to book guests that would be of interest to you.
So, why not take a stab at writing me at [email protected] or tweet me at yakabouttoday. And tell me how i can make this show better for you.
So what do we have planned for this season.
Number one, later this season we will be using using a new platform called Spreaker which will allow us to broadcast live over several of the social media platforms.
In addition we are setting up a system where we can take live phone calls live on air.
In addition, when appropriate we will broadcast the show with video when we think the show will benefit more when you can see it. (and of course that will allow you to see my pretty face.)
-------Over the next few months, the team will be developing a new podcast tentatively titled Yak’s Tales.
A biographical podcast where everyone will get to tell the stories that made them who they are today.
We will tell you more as we develop the concept.
# Topics#yakabouttoday/020419
Ok, since we don’t have any quests lined up for today, why don’t we rifle through our notes and see if we can find anything of interest for you.
And even though I didn’t schedule a question and answer session today. Something came across my desk yesterday that i thought was interesting enough to chat about.
A listener from Scotland, who is one of my favorite podcasters asked a question - well not so much a question as a statement.
He said - you should have more mental health professionals - some shrinks, therapists - psychiatrists on your show. Maybe you’ll get more insight into what’s going on with - as you say - the wiser and more mature of us.
Well - here’s my story that I’ll share with you.

Marcel likes to highlight companies doing a superlative job in Latin America for upscale travelers. Sometimes you may not have heard of these companies because they’re “inbound” tour companies. You contact someone to book a Galapagos tour, for instance, and a company like Latin Trails is the one actually taking care of you on the ground the whole time. We hit up experienced tour planner Marcel Perkins, who is general manager of that company, for advice on traveling in South America.
How did Latin Trails get its start and where do you operate tours in South America?
Latin Trails started as an extension of a lifelong passion of traveling throughout Latin America. My first trip to Ecuador took place when I was less than a year old. Eventually my parents decided to move from New Jersey (USA) to Quito when I was 7. We kept our U.S. ties but Latin America turned out to be our playground. We traveled the entire continent several times and helped hundreds of visitors organize their trips, and sometimes we led them as well. I decided to give the business a formal turn in 2002 and Latin Trails started as an Ecuador based destination management company.
Today we offer custom trips throughout Ecuador and Peru for travelers who search for private services, customized itineraries, and a 24/7 concierge service for a worry-free trip. To compliment these services we operate 2two boutique yachts in the Galapagos Islands: The Galapagos Sea Star Journey and The Galapagos Seaman Journey. We also run trips on an Amazon riverboat out of Iquitos: The Cattleya for eight passengers. We’ll soon be adding another ship there, Spondias. In Ecuador we will be adding a luxury boutique hotel in Quito for 2017.
