=======================================
1. ==> Record # of Americans Dying from Alcohol, Drugs
& Suicide
According to a troubling new analysis, more than
150,000 Americans died due to alcohol, drugs and
suicide in 2017. The figure, 151,845, is more than
twice as many as in 1999, according to the Trust for
America’s Health and Well Being Trust, which used data
from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The analysis found that synthetic opioid deaths
skyrocketed 45 percent between 2016 and 2017 and
increased ten-fold in the last five years, and the
highest rate of suicide continues to occur among
whites, males and people living in rural areas. Invite
clinical forensic psychologist Dr. John Huber to
discuss why that is, signs that someone may be
suicidal, and the role drugs and alcohol play in the
rising death rate. Dr. John Huber is the chairman for
Mainstream Mental Health, a non-profit mental health
organization. He’s appeared on hundreds of radio shows
and dozens of national television programs. Contact
Ryan McCormick at (516) 901-1103; (919) 377-1200.
2. ==> Investigation Discovery Doc: ‘The Atlanta Child
Murders’
In 1979, the city of Atlanta was shaken to its core
when 29 African-American children were kidnapped and
murdered. No one was ever tried for the murders and
decades later the case remains unsolved. Investigation
Discovery’s new documentary, ‘The Atlanta Child
Murders’, revisits this emotional, but largely
forgotten, chapter in our nation’s history. Atlanta
radio personality Frank Ski is featured in the film. He
interviewed the only suspect in the case, Wayne
Williams, which sparked controversy among both those
who thought he was guilty and others who felt he may be
innocent. Invite Frank to talk about the movie, what it
was like for the African-American community in Atlanta
during this time, his experience interviewing Wayne
Williams and his thoughts on what really happened.

3. ==> It’s National Procrastination Week – Make it an
Asset
This week is officially National Procrastination Week,
though, not surprisingly, it’s sometimes held next
week, or even the week after! Regardless, you shouldn’t
put off booking Mariann Adams. She’ll tell listeners
why even though procrastination feels like a character
flaw, it’s actually an asset! “Procrastination isn’t a
defect; it means the brain and body are working right,”
says Adams. “Procrastination is a form of anxiety that
shuts down the brain as a protection. So
procrastination isn’t overcome by willpower, but by
understanding how the brain and body work!” Adams says
everyone is affected by daily anxiety that drives their
behavior. She’ll explain how to read the ‘road signs’,
and share quick ways to navigate past anxiety. Mariann
Adams, MS, NCTM, is an experienced media guest,
corporate consultant, and the author of “Boost Core
Power and Bust Anxiety”. She is an expert on presenting
the psychological, physiological, neurological, and
interpersonal aspects of anxiety in playful, easy-to-
understand way–for instant, increased brain power!

4. ==> Sunday Is Daylight Savings Time: Is It Bad for
Your Health?
When we “spring forward” this weekend, many will
complain about losing just one hour of sleep. Is one
hour of sleep a big deal? Studies show an increase in
heart attacks on the Monday following the time shift,
and within the first 48 hours after the time change, a
spike in automobile fatalities. Is this a coincidence?
Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith will talk about the pros and
cons of losing sleep in the morning for an extra hour
of sunlight in the evening. She’ll discuss how to get a
quality night’s sleep, and advise parents on how to
help their children acclimate to time changes – as well
as the physical changes that occur in everyone’s bodies
when seasons and schedules change. Dr. Saundra will
reveal strategies for feeling rested and refreshed
despite the time change, how to feel better with less
hours of sleep, and how to adjust your attitude so
you’ll be able to sleep better at night. Sleep hygiene
is a very hot topic! Dr. Saundra’s advice and expertise
has been featured in Woman’s Day and Prevention
magazines. Contact her at (256) 240-0564;
Sdalton@rtirguests.com
5. ==> Next Week is National Sleep Awareness Week
Will your listeners know what a messy bedroom has to do
with poor sleep? If watching an action-adventure pic
before bed is a good idea? Can they name the best thing
to keep by their bed in case they wake up in the middle
of the night? They will learn all that when you
interview career wellness educator Adita Yrizarry-Lang
for National Sleep Awareness Week which begins March
10. One-third of all Americans desperately need this
information because they are not getting enough
shuteye. Adita is a 30-year wellness educator who has
been quoted in Shape and Fitness. She is the author of
“SuperPowers.” Contact her at (305) 874-0268;

6. ==> Take-This-Challenge: Reinvent Your Life in 7
Days

want to be going in life? Then you need to hear about
Katherine Webster’s humorous but highly effective
challenge for reinventing your life in the next seven
days. Step 1: Get a brand new hairstyle. Why? To
paraphrase Coco Chanel, the person who changes their
hair is about to change their life. Webster knows what

she had to take specific actions to find her joy and
confidence and completely reinvent her life. She’ll
reveal something new you can do every day to
turbocharge your reinvention i.e. go out on the town

friends. Her tips are simple, fun and they work!

more extraordinary to their life. Contact her at

7. ==> Why Run a Meeting People Will Dread? Do This
Instead
Chances are you have been to some poorly-run meetings
in your personal or professional life. Maybe those
gatherings (at work with bosses and fellow employees,
in a community setting, with clients or neighbors or
even strangers) were uninspiring or non-welcoming. Even
if you liked your fellow attendees, you couldn’t wait
to escape. So what are the secrets to having the
perfect meeting instead? One that exceeds everyone’s
expectations for productivity and progress? What needs
to be considered to make such a session happen? Find
out when you interview leadership and communication
expert Teruni Lamberg, Ph.D., author of the critically-
praised book “Conducting Productive Meetings: How to
Generate and Communicate Ideas for Innovation.” Whether
she’s talking about agendas and venues, schedules and
speakers, Q&A sessions, facilitation techniques, audio-
visuals or the food and beverages on-hand, Dr. Lamberg
will be as entertaining and informative as the meetings
she helps us envision. Prepare to learn about the best
meeting you could ever coordinate or attend! Contact
Dr. Teruni Lamberg at (775) 682-7533; Teruni@unr.edu.
8. ==> The Robots Are Coming! And They Want Your Job!
In the near future, robots will be able to perform jobs
ranging from bartending to retail sales and even major
surgery! In fact, China’s state-run Xinhua News Agency
has launched an artificial intelligence TV news anchor,
a world first. “I know a lot of people that make
robots,” says design expert Lorraine Justice. “They’re
so realistic they’re creepy. There’s a lot of fear of
technology and robots.” While robots and other forms of
artificial intelligence will take over many future
jobs, Lorraine will discuss how to prepare for this,
and how to develop skills that will continue to be
relevant in the ever-changing job market. A long-time
educator, Lorraine is dean emeritus of the College of
Imaging Arts and Sciences at Rochester Institute of
Technology, former director of the School of Design at
Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the author of “The
Future of Design, Global Product Innovation in a
Complex World”. Contact her at

9. ==> Interview the ‘King of Cash Flow!’
You have probably already heard how important it is to
create passive income for yourself so you can
eventually quit your day job, and better yet, so you
can retire well. Many experts suggest you build a
business or spend your free time searching for deals in
real estate. But Doug Marshall a.k.a. the “King of Cash
Flow” will tell you step-by-step how he has created 9
passive income streams without sacrificing his free
time or family time, and how you can too. He’ll show
you how he got started investing in real estate without
having to quit his job looking for deals or doing the
time-consuming task of being a landlord. Marshall is
the author of “Mastering the Art of Commercial Real
Estate Investing.” Ask him about the 5 questions that
every new investor should answer before investing in
real estate. He’ll even share 4 things he learned from
his “loser” property and much more. Contact him at

11. ==> 3 Steps to Making a Great Decision
Have you ever had to make a tough decision? Like
whether to leave a job? Get out of a relationship? Or
what medical treatment to pursue? It can leave you
feeling scared, lonely, and frozen with fear. Terrie
Novak is an expert at decision-making, or as she likes
to call it, “choice-making”. As a systems analyst, she
does it every day at work for her customers so when she
was faced with a scary diagnosis and an even scarier
treatment option, she decided (after freaking out) to
apply what she does at work to help her make some
important decisions. Terrie will share her powerful
story and explain how her three-step decision making
process makes any decision easier to make. Terrie Novak

Spring is around the corner and so is engagement and
wedding season. That makes it the perfect time to talk
about sex and marriage. Just how important is sex to a
marriage? Should couples expect to have daily sex? Can
couples form a strong bond without a robust sex life?

this topic with you will be René and Gloria Vallières,

13. ==> Bad Mistakes Even Good Teachers Make
Did you know that many teachers, in trying to encourage
their students, actually embarrass them? That
embarrassment leads to discouragement, which if left
unchecked can kill whatever love of learning a kid has.
All children have an innate desire to learn and are
excited about it. But as early as kindergarten, even
good teachers are setting them up to hate school. As a
former educator and administrator in public schools and
universities, Lee Jenkins saw the need for a new
approach to learning – one that keeps that “intrinsic
motivation” alive from kindergarten through 12th grade.
He says, “What most parents and teachers don’t realize
is that motivation is made up of both will and thrill.
Are your kids working hard and loving the process?
Chances are they aren’t!” Lee Jenkins is the of
“Permission to Forget” and the upcoming “How to Create
a Perfect School.” He now consults and writes full
time with his firm LtoJ Consulting Group. Contact him
at (484) 306-8784; LJenkins@rtirguests.com
14. ==> March 18 is Forgive Mom & Dad Day
Many people have bad childhoods. But what makes Wade
Meadows remarkable is how he was able to forgive both
parents, his mentally unstable mother who constantly
reminded him that he was worthless because he was born
on Friday the 13th and his workaholic father who was
unable to protect him. March 18 is Forgive Mom & Dad
Day, a day aimed at bringing closure to people whose
upbringings left much to be desired. Invite Wade on air
to explain how he was able to open his heart when his
mother needed a caregiver, how he manages to live a
hopeful life despite a chaotic childhood and how he was
able to break his family’s cycle of abuse to raise
happy, successful children and be a loving marriage
partner. Wade is the author of “Letters From the Ashes”

15. ==> The 1% Busted: Myths and Misconceptions
Revealed
What myths can be busted about the 1%? What lessons can
we learn from them that can help us succeed? When we

surrounding the 1% – and how the lessons he learned

York – married Alice Astor, daughter of John Jacob

Ivan has firsthand experience. Misconceptions abound
about their ethics, morals and attitudes. Find out how
the 1% really lives. “People think that those who have
wealth are self-centered, have no problems, don’t
contribute to society, or that they are simply lucky
and entitled,” says Ivan, “but nothing could be further
from the truth.” Ivan Obolensky is a true Renaissance
man in his own right and the author of “Eye of the
Moon”. Contact Ivan Obolensky at (818) 495-8731;

16. ==> Foods that Feed Cancer
When Anthony Randle’s wife, Jessica, was diagnosed with
stage four breast cancer, her doctors told her she
could eat whatever she wanted while undergoing
aggressive treatments. But after conducting exhaustive
research, he discovered that certain foods actually
feed cancer. “Doctors will tell patients not to smoke
or drink, but nothing about sugar,” he says. “I learned
that sugar actually feeds cancer. I also saw chemo
patients eating fast food and popsicles. I thought,
‘Wow, this is so wrong!'” After eliminating sugar and
other unhealthy foods from her diet, Jessica sailed
through chemo with virtually no side effects. He shares
his poignant experiences in his acclaimed book “The
True Story of a Husband, A Best Friend and Care Giver:
The Struggle Within”, and can reveal how he and his

20. ==> How to Reduce Your Pets’ ‘Environmental Paw
Print’
People the world over are aware of how the environment
affects human health and the health of our planet.
According to author and environmental engineer Yasmin
Davar, our pups and kitties need to get on the
sustainability bandwagon for the very same reasons.
“Having a ‘green pet’ is far healthier for the planet,
as well as the pets themselves,” she says. Some
examples are using biodegradable cat litter, cleaning
up your dog’s poop, which can contaminate ground water,
and avoiding plastic food and water bowls, which break
down AND can cause health problems in your dog or cat.
“I would add using biodegradable natural dog shampoos
and conditioners, and food with healthy, natural
ingredients and reduced processing.” Yasmin is the
author of “Our Peaceful Planet: Healing Ourselves and
the World for a Sustainable Future”. She also holds a
Master of International Studies in Peace and Conflict
Resolution. Contact Yasmin at YDavar@rtirguests.com
