3. ==> Today is the 10th Anniversary of Michael
Jackson’s Death
It’s the 10th anniversary of Michael Jackson’s passing
from an overdose of the powerful anesthetics propofol
and benzodiazepine. As you will recall, Jackson was
preparing for a massive comeback tour and had
difficulty sleeping. Michael E. Platt, M.D.,
internationally known for his innovative approach to
treating the cause of illness, will reveal the
surprising reason that likely led to Jackson’s chronic
insomnia and why creative people are more likely to
suffer from it. He’ll also share ways that Jackson
could have turned the situation around within 24 hours

5. ==> What You Eat Before Bed Matters: Nightfood Ice
Cream
When do you head to the freezer for a bowl of ice
cream? If you’re like the majority of Americans, it’s
probably right before bed. So wouldn’t it be great if
you could make your pre-sleep treat better for you?
That’s the concept behind Nightfood, a sleep-friendly
nighttime ice cream specially formulated by sleep and
nutrition experts. Invite Nightfood CEO Sean Folkson to
explain what’s so special about this ice cream, what’s
in it and what’s not, and how the company started.

out in the Midwest, Carolinas and Virginia. Contact Tim

6. ==> The Market is Hot: Should You Sell Your Home?
In the world of real estate, we’re in a seller’s
market, so is it time to put your house up for sale?
What if you’re nearing retirement? “That depends,” says
financial planner Penelope Tzougros. “You may get more
money for your property now, but what will you do with
that money and where will you live?” Penelope will
explain why net profit isn’t the most important
consideration in selling your home no matter what your
age, and reveal the most critical questions to ask
before making the transition. Penelope says the key to
making the right decision is having a game plan.
“People don’t understand the cost of running their
lifestyle. A new residence has its own demands and
joys, but how you want to spend money every day is
likely to be predictable. Can you afford your lifestyle
and your new residence? If you are near or in
retirement these are critical questions that can
enhance or diminish your retirement.” Penelope
Tzougros, PhD, ChFC, CLU, is a seasoned media pro. She
created and hosted the Boston TV show Money Matters as
well as a radio show that aired for 7 years. “Your Home
Sweet Home: How to Decide Whether You Should Stay or
Move in Retirement” is her latest book. Contact

8. ==> Great Graduation Advice from an Unlikely Source
When he was growing up in one of the worst housing
projects in Los Angeles, few people would have
predicted that Christopher L. Hall would be a role
model and inspiration. It was more likely that he would
end up like his father, who was in jail, or his
brother, a seven-time felon now serving a 1,300-year
sentence for attempted murder. Hall, who is now an ER
doctor in Mississippi, is living proof that poor kids
and kids in foster care and juvenile hall are not
destined for failure and low educational achievement.
He will share his powerful journey of how he went from
juvenile hall and sleeping in a box at a Carl’s Jr. to
dental school, medical school, and the military. His
story and that of his brother’s is detailed in his
memoir “Ward of the Court.” Contact Hall at (251)

circumstances such as skills, luck, hard work and
intelligence in an attempt to attain their goals. But

about this all wrong. “We all have an ‘Inner Genius’
which we can tap into by connecting with our most
valuable trait: intuition,” she says. “This a
revolutionary inner power. But it is not just for the
elite few; it’s the birthright of each and every one of
us.” Kim can illustrate with astonishing accuracy how
people like Steve Jobs and Oprah Winfrey, who began
life as everyday people, utilized this trait to become
wildly successful. Kim can also share with audiences

12. ==> What’s Really Behind Last Night’s Nightmare
From terrifying nightmares to ridiculous romps with
crazy characters and bizarre locations, your nightly
adventures aren’t random at all. They reveal a lot
about what’s going on in your life, but deciphering
them can be confusing, to say the least. Dream analyst
Layne Dalfen says your dreams are actually
conversations you have with yourself about specific
current issues in your life. She says, “The solution
you’re looking for about what (or who) in your life is
bugging you this week will appear in your unconscious
mind before it gets to your conscious. Dream analysis
gives you the power to decide how you want to respond
to people and situations in your life.” Dalfen will
teach listeners a step-by-step method to decode those
dreams and use the knowledge to help make decisions and
deal with difficult situations. Layne Dalfen teaches
dream analysis to the counselling students at Concordia

14. ==> Are you a ‘Stress-aholic?’ This M.D. Has the

Become a Better Speaker
You’re in front of a group, with key info to share, but
you need to get over your own nerves and apprehension.

expert Jill Jaysen who will reveal on your show how
we’ve all been mis-taught when it comes to public

17. ==> What it Takes to Have a ‘Perfect School’
Every September kindergartners start school and love
it. So why is it that every year after that more and
more students hate school – until high school when only
a few are left who actually love coming to school and
love learning? This problem is easier to fix than you
think! “There are so many ways to create a perfect
school,” says Lee Jenkins, a career educator with a
passion for improving student learning in school.
“From giving students choice in how to do homework to
creating a team feel in every classroom, where they are
more interested in outperforming their own best work
instead of competing with each other… it works! And it
works FAST!” In fact, teachers using Lee’s method are
seeing an increase in classroom learning by six times
the national average! The key is for students to be in
an environment where they both work hard and love their
learning. Lee Jenkins is the author of “How to Create a
Perfect School,” (June 2019), and while he speaks
primarily to educators his message to parents is
essential. He has been an educator and administrator
both in public schools and universities. Contact Lee
Jenkins at (484) 306-8784; LJenkins@rtirguests.com

Parenting expert Emily Slingluff tackles some of the

shootings that are plaguing our country and their
simple solution! Her newest book is “Choosing
