1. ==> America First – The MAGA Manifesto

Do you wonder what’s really behind all the rhetoric
about making America great again or what Donald Trump
will do next? Pat and Kate Scopelliti, two full-time
entrepreneurs, have written “America First – The MAGA
Manifesto” which they say “…addresses today’s
heightened fears, clarifies primary goals, and provides
a clear, intellectually stimulating foundation of this
historic and mounting crusade that has swept the nation
and propelled the historic election in November 2016 of
President Donald J. Trump.” The pair will explain the
MAGA agenda and why Americans should support the
president regardless of their political affiliation.
The book has been endorsed with a foreword from Lt. Gen
(R) Michael T. Flynn, Trump’s first national security
adviser. Pasquale (Pat) Scopelliti is the founder of
Consigliori consulting practice. Contact him at
Pasquale@TheConsigliori.com

2. ==> Mr. President, Lies Matter

Before Donald Trump, the idea of having a president who
habitually fails to tell the truth and survives would
have been unthinkable. To his supporters, apparently
lies don’t matter, but Tony Selimi says they do, and
they hurt everyone. He’ll share five tips to
distinguish lies from the truth and help people avoid
the long term effect that distortion of the truth can
have on science, health care, education, mental,
emotional and physical health, and every facet of our
lives, putting us on a path to self-destruction. He
says, “If we don’t immunize against this virus of the
modern age, teach our children the importance of truth,
and have a conscious media and government, we are
heading towards a lonely planet in which the human
values we hold dear are totally forgotten.” Tony Selimi
is author of “A Path to Wisdom” and “#Loneliness – The
Virus of the Modern Age,” and co-creator of “Living My
Illusion- The Truth Hurts,” an award-winning
documentary. Tony has appeared on over 100 TV and radio
stations across the world. Contact him at +44 &8 1717

3. ==> Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author Jack Davis

Jack Davis’s “The Gulf: The Making of an American Sea”
won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize in history along with
several other prestigious awards. Invite him to discuss
how humans have impacted the Gulf of Mexico and why
it’s a far larger story than a Corps of Engineers levee
or a BP offshore oil rig. Beginning in the age of
exploration, Davis will reveal the fragile borders of a
wild battleground that would soon serve as a larger map
for America’s fraught relationship with the
environment. You’ll learn about the Spanish and English
who first ventured to the region and were confused by
the indigenous cultures who hid behind and thrived off
the Gulf’s peculiar ecosystem and how, in the two
hundred years following Columbus’s fateful voyage, the
aboriginals were subdued along the Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas coasts. Jack Davis is
also the author of “An Everglades Providence: Marjory
Stoneman Douglas and the American Environmental
Century.’ A professor of environmental history at the
University of Florida, he grew up on the Gulf coast,
and now lives in Florida and New Hampshire. Contact

4. ==> Royal Wedding Fever Running High

In case you hadn’t heard, Prince Harry is getting
married on Saturday. Everyone’s talking about it and
many will even get up at 5am to watch the ceremony
live! The royals have infiltrated our collective
consciousness. The question is, why? Ask psychologist
Dr. John Huber. He’ll discuss why some people are
obsessed with the royal family, whether it’s unhealthy
to fantasize about being someone else, and his
prognosis (from afar) on whether the couple’s marriage
can last. Dr. John Huber is a clinical forensic
psychologist and the chairman for Mainstream Mental
Health, a non-profit mental health organization. Dr.
Huber has appeared on hundreds of radio shows and
dozens of national television programs. Contact Ryan
McCormick at (516) 901-1103; (919) 377-1200.

5. ==> Will The Royal Marriage Be a Royal Pain?

It may be a fairy tale wedding, but how will Harry and
Meghan fare once the ceremony is over? As the new
couple is learning, every day of their life, every move
they make will be scrutinized, from what they wear to
when they become parents. How will Markle cope with
leaving her successful acting career? How will living
in this royal fishbowl affect their relationship? What
sort of precautions must they take to not let other
people’s opinions affect who they are and make time for
each other? Kristie Overstreet, a psychotherapist,
author, and speaker, has advice for the royal couple as
well as any couple taking their vows this summer. Dr.
Overstreet has been featured on CNN and in Self,
Psychology Today and other major media. She is the
author of “Fix Yourself First: 25 Tips to Stop Ruining
Your Relationships.” Reach her at (904) 566-9256 or

6. ==> Advice for Grads – Give a Damn!

Mark Lewis has three words for new grads seeking advice
on how to find success: Give a damn! While it may be an
untraditional suggestion, he says it gets to the heart
of what real success is. “Being self-centered is not
only dangerous, it’s a one-way ticket to failure,
violence, and bad relationships. Grads need to remember
that it is not about getting ahead, it’s about what you
do for others that gets you ahead.” Lewis will explain
what giving a damn means, the human perspective that
determines success, and how new grads can set
themselves apart by taking responsibility, living
honestly and not expecting anything in return. Lewis is
a business consultant, corporate growth expert and
president of Communique LLC. He’s the author of “Give a
Damn: Individually We Make a Difference, Collectively
We Change.” Contact him at (504) 905-4646;

7. ==> How to Make a Great Big Decision

Whether it’s what college to choose, whether to start a
new business or move across the country, we all face
big decisions in our lives. It’s common to put off
making tough choices because you don’t want to be wrong
or cause yourself or others unnecessary pain and
expense–financial, emotional, or any other kind of
toll. Invite Michael Angelo Costa to explain the secret
to mastering big decisions and making the right choice.
You’ll learn the four key factors to consider before
making any important decision and become less-stressed
and more confident in your decision-making ability! A
lawyer, investment banker, and advisor, Michael Angelo
Costa has more than 33 years of international business
experience. The author of “Never Be Wrong Again – Four
Steps to Making Better Decisions in Work and in Life”
frequently appears on radio and TV as an expert in
decision-making. Contact him at (760) 238-5087;

8. ==> Corporate America’s Dirty Little Secret: Ageism
Exists

Corporate America has a dirty little secret – companies
are discarding their older employers like yesterday’s
newspaper, just because of their age. But according to
Diane Huth, career coach and Amazon bestselling author,
it doesn’t have to be that way. Huth coaches baby
boomers on the 5 key things they need to do to keep
their current job or find a new one. She explains that
the single most important task any older worker must
focus on is upping their computer and technology
skills. She encourages mature workers to focus on life-
long learning to adapt to the rapidly transforming job
market and keep their skills and certifications up to
date and provides lists of no-cost or low-cost ways to
achieve and keep career relevance. Diane also urges
workers to look as young as they can without looking
silly and provides detailed insights into how to look
10 – 15 years younger fast. Let Diane share with your
listeners how older workers can successfully adopt more
youthful work, communication and lifestyle habits to
more easily fit into a modern, flexible and mobile
workplace. What she has to say is nothing short of a
new way of looking at work. Her book “Brand You! To Re-
Invent Your Career” will be released this summer.

9. ==> Business: Prevent Negative Viral Videos

If you’re non-white in America, you’ve likely
experienced racism at some level, at some point in your
life. And lately, it seems there’s a news story each
day involving a racist incident. From Starbucks to Yale
University, cell phones are capturing discrimination
and putting businesses and organizations in the
spotlight–and in the hotseat. As these videos go
viral, customers worry about their safety and, in some
cases, are boycotting the businesses. Invite Nita
Wiggins, a former Texas TV anchor and the victim of
racial discrimination, to discuss what kind of training
can be done to prevent these scenarios as well as what
you should do if you experience racial discrimination.
She is currently conducting training for these exact
situations and discussing the best ways to prevent
these issues and how to manage them. Nita is the author
of the upcoming book “Civil Rights Baby” about
discrimination in the workplace. Contact her at
nitadallas@yahoo.com??

10. ==> Why is Customer Service So Bad?

When was the last time you were in a store where
employees greeted you by name, helped you find what you
were looking for, made you feel important and didn’t
look miserable? According to business leadership expert
Bonnie Sussman-Versace, only 10 percent of U.S.
companies provide good customer service, but she says
it should be the norm. Bonnie will share examples of
companies that make customers feel like kings and
queens and what we can learn from them. She’ll explain
why so many companies fail at customer service, reveal
what company recently closed their Indian call center
and opened one in the U.S., and what Wegmans and
DoubleTree by Hilton are doing that’s worth emulating.
For added fun, have listeners call in with their best
or worst customer service stories for a chance to win a
copy of Bonnie’s book, “Recipes for Thoughtful
Leadership and Healthy Culture.” Bonnie’s parents were
business owners and she managed her own $4.5 million
commercial design and furnishing business before
evolving into a business consultant. She is the author
of numerous articles for Business Weekly and other
publications. Contact her at (610) 301-2194 or
bversace@focusedllc.net

11. ==> The Real Monsters Under Your Bed

Parents reassure their children that there are no
monsters hiding under their bed. But Rodger Friedman
says it’s adults who need to be concerned with the
monsters hiding under their beds. On air, he’ll explain
the three biggest monsters that most of us are ill-
prepared to handle but are almost certain to slay their
retirement savings: inflation, medical care expenses
and long-term care costs. But smart people will fight
back against them before they rear their ugly heads.
“Walk into retirement unprepared and it’s like a lamb
being led to slaughter,” says the chartered retirement
planning counselor and former senior vice president of
Morgan Stanley. Think you don’t have to worry about
inflation? Rodger says, “The greatest risk folks face
in retirement is that their income will not be able to
keep pace with the increase in expenses.” It’s time
someone woke your listeners and Rodger is the master at
doing so with hope and soundbites. The author of “The
Mindset of Retirement Success” and two other books on
the topic, this experienced talk-show guest has been
featured in Time, U.S. News and numerous radio
programs. The only things hiding under his bed are dust
bunnies. Contact him at (844) 369-7526;

12. ==> Can #MeToo Victims Overcome Trauma?

The #MeToo movement has put a spotlight on sexual
harassment and assault, not only in the entertainment
business but in women’s lives in general. Can victims
ever lead normal lives after experiencing such trauma?
Mind-body-spirit expert Arnoux Goran, says, “It is
possible to permanently overcome the pain, anger, and
shame of sexual assault so that the worst trauma
imaginable no longer affects you.” His successful
method to reprogram yourself has been studied by the
University of California, Irvine, and shown dramatic
results. Goran can also discuss men who have been
victims of sexual assault and are too afraid to talk
about it and how not dealing with emotional trauma can
lead to additional health issues like emotional eating.
His forthcoming book, “The Answer: How to Change Your
Life and Make Your Dreams Come True,” reveals how to
release negative emotions permanently and truly change
your life by addressing the cause of repeating
patterns. Goran has been featured on radio and
television. Contact him at (877) 680-8200 (CA);

13. ==> Simple Ways to Get Happy (and Stay Happy)

Did you know that more people than ever are chronically

14. ==> Autism News: Could this Be a Cure?

According to alarming MIT research, one in two children
in the U.S. will be diagnosed with autism by the year
2025. Physician and author Dr. Rajalakshmi Kandaswamy
attributes this to increased environmental energy
disturbances. “This not only includes environmental
stress from increased noise pollution, chemicals in
food and so on, this also includes stress from parent’s
and caregivers’ energy,” she says. “Energy disturbances
have sky-rocketed throughout the world as a result of
people defining and accepting stress and pollution to
be a normal part of daily living.” After exploring the
power of holistic energy healing in her own medical
practice and life, Dr. Raja spent more than 25 years
developing the Autism Cure, which shows results from
day one! She recently was recognized by Buzzfeed as one
of five professionals in the world to watch out for in
the autism arena. She is the author of the book “How to
Heal Autism and ADHD in 30 Days: The Phenomenally
Powerful Breakthrough of Intent Healing,” and a
graduate of India’s premier medical college C.M.C
Vellore. Contact her at
healautismnowfoundation@gmail.com.

15. ==> May – Brain Cancer Awareness Month

Did you know that brain tumors rarely form in the very
center of the brain? Mylaine Riobe, MD, FACOG says it’s
because that area of the brain gets the freshest blood
supply while the outer parts of the brain get the
‘left-overs.’ She believes that nutrient or hormone
deficits affect cells and can result in a tumor or
memory loss. Dr. Riobe will answer all your questions
about cancer and the misinformation that surrounds the
prevention, diagnosis and treatment of this epidemic
and explain her new theory of cancer as an
opportunistic disease – how it acts like a parasite
attacking weakened immune systems. You’ll learn why the
US rate of cancer is 4x that of the Chinese and hear
about promising treatments that focus on finding and
fixing deficiencies. Dr. Riobe’s multi-faceted approach
combines traditional Chinese medicine with conventional
medicine. A dynamic, progressive integrative medical
doctor with over 15 years of experience, she’s the
author of “The Answer to Cancer” and “The Tao of
Integrative Medicine.” Contact her at (772) 285-7788;

16. ==> ?What to Do When Your Friend is an Addict

We all know that addiction doesn’t just impact addicts;
it also shatters the lives of spouses, children and
friends. But what can loved ones actually do to help an
addict? Addiction counselor and former addict Kathy
Williamson says, “Many people feel helpless watching
someone they care about struggle with addiction but
there are actual things you can do to help an addict
get well.” She’ll discuss recovery programs, why
addiction is not a disease, and why the belief that
once an addict, always an addict is simply not true.
Williamson, whose 10-year-addiction to pain pills began
after a six-month hospitalization for recurring
pancreatitis, has been free of her addiction for 30
years and has never attended a recovery program. She’s
the author of “My Friend Is an Addict – What Can I Do?”

17. ==> It’s ‘Get Caught Reading’ Month!

Did you know May is a month dedicated to reading for
FUN? And what’s more fun than science fiction? Dr. Paul
Wand, author of “Earth 2.0 Exodus: Escaping our Doomed
Planet,” will entertain your audience by discussing all
things sci-fi. A science fiction fan since the original
Star Trek series in the ‘60s, he is well-versed not
only in the lore but also the FACTS behind the sci-fi
shows and movies we grew up with and love, and his
study of the trajectory of REAL science makes “science
fiction” more believable than ever. Are we closer than
we think to leaving Earth? Escaping our “doomed”
planet? Is our space program looking more like “Star
Wars” and “Lost in Space?” You’ll hear where future
Artificial Intelligence is heading, how the
configuration of a star ship would work, and why the
eventual demise of the Earth will most likely be caused
by the sun. Dr. Wand specializes in neurology by day.

18. ==> Could Hawaii’s Volcano Be Telling Us Something?

The Kilauea volcano in Hawaii continues to pose health
hazards, now adding toxic gas to its destruction of
homes and vehicles swallowed up by its fiery lava. But
are we headed for even worse calamity such as what
happened when Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980, in what
is to date the largest and most disruptive volcanic
event, spewing ashes over three states? Dr. Richard
Ruhling thinks so. And should this horrible event
occur, he believes it would be a warning from God of
His impending judgment on the U.S. and may be
accompanied by a large earthquake in the San Andreas
Fault. Invite him on your show to explain why God is
concerned about our claim to live “In God We Trust”
when we trust in money more and break his principles of
health and happiness outlined in a UCLA study. Ruhling
is a retired physician who taught Health Science; he
also attended Bible College. A seasoned talk show
guest, he has authored a number of books on Bible
prophecy and current events. His latest is “God Bless
America?” Reach him at (928) 583-7543 or

Summer’s coming and a big part of the season is being
outside, playing at the pool and beach, and swimming!
But along with the sun and fun comes countless horror
stories about kids and drowning incidents. Carolanne
Caron says everyone should be able to enjoy the water,
but there are definitely safety issues that need to be
taught to everyone, especially kids. She says, “Many
children don’t know what rules they should follow when
they’re near water and end up getting in a situation
over their skill level.” Carolanne, a swimming and
water safety expert, can share 10 rules to teach
children to be safer around the water. She’s the author
of “Water Safety with Swimmy” and “Swimmy’s Water
Safety Coloring Book.” Contact her at (603) 424-4100;

So many people dream of writing children’s books but
don’t know how to get started. Invite children’s author
and mother of three Rosie J. Pova to reveal what it
takes to stay motivated, complete your book, and
finally get a publishing deal. She can explain whether
you should submit your manuscript to agents or directly
to publishers, how to deal with rejection, and why
today’s kids don’t want to read their parents’
childhood books. She can also share insider industry
information such as why publishers don’t want rhyming
text, what kind of agent you need, whether you should
find your own illustrator, and what to realistically
expect from a publisher when it comes to book
promotion. She is the author of several children’s
books including her latest, Sarah’s Song. Pova has been
