=======================================
1. ==> Another Hurricane! How to Survive a Natural
Disaster
Hurricane Michael plowed through Florida yesterday,
with forecasters calling it ‘a monster unlike any
other.’ When it made landfall it hit as a powerful,
high-end Category 4 hurricane and became the strongest
to make landfall anywhere in the Continental US since
2004. Discuss how to survive in the aftermath of such
destruction when you invite Christine Perakis on your
show. She was alone in her home in the Caribbean when
the most powerful storm ever recorded in the Atlantic
Basin blew the roof of her house, destroyed everything
in it and leaving her without running water,
electricity and telecoms for months. Christine Perakis,
Esq. is a certified mountain rescuer, an EMT, a 100-
ton-licensed boat captain, attorney, entrepreneur, and
certified executive coach. Her bestselling book, “The
Entrepreneur’s Essential Roadmap” is a small business
survival guide. Christine has appeared in the New York
Times, ABC Radio, Bloomberg, The Washington Post and
PBS. Her article, “Weathering the Aftermath of a
Category 5 Storm” will appear in the November issue of
USA Today Magazine. Reach her at (310) 564-6365;

2. ==> TV Judge Lauren Lake
TV judge Lauren Lake definitely took a different path
to the courtroom then most. Though she has her law
degree from Detroit’s Wayne University and is a member
of the Michigan, New York and New Jersey state bars –
Lauren began as a professional singer & songwriter,
performing back-up for Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, P. Diddy,
Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. She’s even an interior design
expert who hosted HGTV’s Spice Up My Kitchen for six
seasons. Today, Lauren presides over the nationally
syndicated daytime courtroom series Lauren Lake’s
Paternity Court, now in its sixth season. In the Emmy-
nominated series, Judge Lauren oversees highly
emotional paternity cases, using her sharp wit, strong
options and, of course, DNA test results. Lauren can
discuss her unconventional journey to becoming a TV
judge, and let listeners know what’s in store for the
new season of Lauren Lake’s Paternity Court. Contact

3. ==> Daytime TV’s Thom Bierdz’ Tell-All Sex Memoir
Best known for his portrayal of Phillip Chancellor III
on the daytime drama “The Young and The Restless,” Thom
Bierdz is out with a bombshell tell-all sharing his
every scandalous (often amusing and embarrassing) sex
adventures. In “Young, Gay & Restless” he holds nothing
back, including how a Republican Congressmen who, when
drunk, routinely FB messaged him nude photos of
himself. Book an interview with him and hear how he
escaped serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, was sexually
assaulted by a boss, a TV star, and a Hollywood
photographer, and was propositioned by a Bishop and a
billionaire. Bierdz has won multiple awards as an
actor, fine artist, writer, and filmmaker, but became
disillusioned with the entertainment industry, and has
secluded himself in a cabin in Lake Arrowhead without
TV and minimal contact with the outside world for the
past seven years. His previous book, “Forgiving Troy,”
recounts the murder of his mother by his paranoid
schizophrenic brother. Contact Harlan Boll at (626)

4. ==> Beat Climate Change AND Save Money
The UN has issued a dire new climate report describing
what the world will look like if it warms by only 2.7
degrees Fahrenheit by the end of this century. Meeting
that target would require humanity to abandon coal and
other fossil fuels in the next decade or two: an
economic transition so abrupt that, in the IPCC’s
words, it “has no documented historic precedents.” So,
is there anything YOU can do to beat climate change?
Bruce Nagy says yes, and better yet, the green living
options will save you money. Nagy’s tips can help
homeowners reduce electric, water and gas bills. He
provides specific examples – such as how Brad Pitt
helped finance the rebuilding of the Ninth Ward in New
Orleans – using clean energy solutions that made the
houses more affordable to both purchase and maintain.
Nagy even guides homeowners to government programs that
can assist in paying for energy saving changes to their
homes. “The Clean Age” is based on Nagy’s 16 years of
research, 700+ interviews with experts, and more than
150 articles on clean technology, government programs
and energy economics. Nagy, a speaker for Al Gore’s
Climate Reality Project, works with companies to
develop clean technology initiatives. Contact Johanna

5. ==> Catholic Priest Helps Lost Souls Cross Over
Over the past 20 years, Nathan G. Castle, OP, says he
has helped at least 250 people who died suddenly adjust
to the afterlife. Victims of fires, automobile
accidents, shootings, stabbings and drownings come to
him in his dreams seeking help for resolving their
Interrupted Death Experiences™. Father Nathan has come
to believe that providing this help is something the
Holy Spirit has given him to do. He’ll describe the
unusual work he does with people who were conscious and
healthy one moment and dead the next. “It can be a huge
shock to the system and people can shut down,” he says.
He is quick to point out that not everyone who dies
suddenly gets stuck. Ask him: How does he help people
cross over? How did he assist Patrick Swayze’s deceased
sister? Do deceased relatives help us adjust to moving
through our own deaths? Nathan Castle has been a
Catholic priest of the semi-contemplative Dominican
Order since 1979. His new book is “Afterlife,
Interrupted: Helping Stuck Souls Cross Over.” Contact
him at (480) 650-5592; nathancastleop@gmail.com
6. ==> Interview the Undertaker’s Daughter
While growing up in a Midwestern funeral home where her
dad was an undertaker, life was anything but morbid for
author Margo Lenmark. In fact, she learned that death
is not the end, and can actually teach us all how to
live better lives. “People who have died have given me
lessons about how to live,” she says. “There are gifts
in grieving. People send messages in death that are
very clear. I have gotten very valuable messages from
dead people.” She shares her fascinating experiences
and insights in her newly published book “Light in the
Mourning: Memoirs of an Undertaker’s Daughter.” The
book has received glowing reviews from a number of
prominent authors and spiritual leaders including
Deepak Chopra, who says, “Life is not the opposite of
death. It is birth and death that are opposites. Life
is the continuum of birth and death eternally, and now.
Read this engrossing book for your own insights into
reality.” Contact Margo at margolenmark1@gmail.com or

7. ==> Missing! Her Daughter Disappeared without a
Trace
What would you do if your young daughter went missing?
How many years would you spend searching for her? In
your quest for answers, would you also turn to help
from the spirit world? This was Sana Brauner’s reality
after her two-year-old daughter Alexandra-Anita
disappeared without a trace during a 2004 tsunami that
took the life of Sana’s mother. Sana spent years
searching for her daughter even reaching out to the
spirit world for answers. Some 14 years later, she
remains convinced that Alexandra-Anita is alive and
that she will hold her again someday. She’ll share her
very personal search for answers which she details in
her memoir, “The Borrowed Daughter.” Contact her at
s.brauner@ihr-einkauf.at; Skype: sanabr
8. ==> How to End the Horror of Kids Being Separated at
the Border
Many Americans and people around the world were shocked
and appalled when immigrant kids whose families sought
asylum at the U.S. border were ripped from their
parents. Worse yet, a number of kids were left behind
because their parents got deported without them. “It’s
painful for me to hear that kids cannot be reunited
with their families, ” says Raleigh Sadler, a Christian
reverend and founder and executive director of the New
York-based non-profit Let My People Go. “So many kids
will fall through the cracks. What scares me is that
unless people are raising their voices, we’re going to
be in a bad place.” Raleigh founded this group in 2013
to combat global human rights injustices. He can
discuss how this epidemic affects society at every
level, and what we can all do to help stem the tide of
oppression. He is the author of the upcoming book
“Vulnerable: Rethinking Human Trafficking.” Contact him
at Raleigh@lmpgnetwork.org or (917) 952-5845.
9. ==> This Neurologist Could Solve Football’s
Concussion Problem
A Georgia high school football player died after a game
last month and officials now say he succumbed to
cardiac arrest stemming from a head injury. The NFL,
college and high school football programs are all
dealing with the issue because of the high risk of
concussions among players and the resulting health
consequences. But what if there was a way to make
concussions a thing of the past? Or at least a way to
diagnose and treat traumatic brain injuries (TBI’s)
more easily and quickly? Interview Dr. Paul Wand to
hear about a new protocol that could do all that and
more. He along with other private practitioners have
created ways to diagnosis and treat concussions which
if put into place could save the NFL, as well as other
sports where concussions happen on a regular basis.
Paul Wand, MD, PA has been a medical doctor for 35
years specializing in the field of Neurology. Contact
Dr. Wand at (954) 344-9772; paulwandmd@gmail.com
10. ==> This is Why Single Moms Get Stuck in their
Careers
According to Pew Research, in 2013 women were the
primary breadwinners in 40 percent of American
households, and in a vast majority of those households
the breadwinner was a single mother. However, another
statistic stands out for author, blogger and single
mother Sara Sherman: 80 percent of single mothers do
not have the education they need to advance in their
careers. A former welfare mother, Sherman encourages
other mothers to earn a diploma, learn a trade, get a
degree and advance their careers by giving them the
steps they need to do precisely that. Sherman wrote
“The Single Mom’s Guide to Getting a Degree” and its
companion workbook to answer the question she was often
asked: How did she go to school, work, raise her kids,
and get an education all at the same time … as a single
parent? Sherman hopes her books will inspire other
single moms to go back to school as she did; she earned
a B.A. in public relations and an M.A. in public
administration while holding down a demanding job with
a long commute. She also made time to volunteer at her
children’s school and to be a scout leader. Contact her

11. ==> Is Your ‘Intimidation Threshold’ Holding You
Back?
Are you working hard? Or working smart? Growing a
business can feel like a daunting task. What most
people don’t realize is that they aren’t focusing on
what will yield long-term success. It’s not what you
say or how you present. It’s not what you look like,
what you wear or your posture. The most critical
success factor you bring to the table is the inner
VALUE you represent. Founder of ThroughConversation
Personal Development Inc., Jean-Paul Gravel will
provide insight on how people perceive your real
“value”. Your audience will learn practical tools for
how to raise their value in the eyes of everyone around
them. He’ll take them through 3 simple steps which will
completely raise their confidence, conviction and
persuasiveness. Gravel has spent 15 years showing
people from all walks of life including high achievers,
entrepreneurs and pro athletes how to unlock their own
deep-seated power and potential to experience
extraordinary results in business and life. Contact

13. ==> Before You Go to the Doc: How to Get Less
Painful Procedures
There are many things that can be done to make certain
medical test procedures more bearable. But the catch is
patients have to ask for them and too often, nurses and
doctors fail to tell their patients they’re possible.
Nancy Michaels, an author and speaker who advises
hospitals and health-care providers on effective ways
to improve patient satisfaction, says patients need to
advocate for themselves by asking that treatments and
procedures be less painful. She’ll share tips on
talking to your doctor and what everyone should know if
they’re nervous or feeling uncomfortable about an
upcoming treatment or procedure. Nancy Michaels has
worked with the ICU Patient Advisory Council at Beth
Israel Deaconess Medical Center and is a member of the
Patient and Family Advisory Council – The Partnership
for Patients, a public-private partnership working to
improve the quality, safety and affordability of health
care for all Americans. Michaels has been featured by
CNN-fn, Fox News, and Weekend Today Show among others.

14. ==> This M.D. Has a Three-Pronged Cure for Opioid
Addiction
As opioid addiction has reached epidemic proportions,
most treatment programs focus merely on treating the
symptoms. But Dr. Steven M. Hall claims they are
getting it all wrong. “The magnitude of the problem is
mind-boggling, and most recovery programs don’t address
how this started in the first place,” he says. Thus, he
has devised a three-pronged treatment program with
which he has helped dozens of patients in his private
practice overcome addiction that addresses the physical
and emotional causes of addiction. “It’s true that
people’s emotions are as important as their physical
feelings,” he says. “I teach people how to be healthy
with their feelings.” Dr. Steven received his medical
degree from University of Utah School of Medicine and
has been practicing family medicine since 1985. He is
the author of “The 7 Tools of Healing: Unlock Your
Inner Wisdom and Live the Life Your Soul Desires.”

16. ==> Interview the ‘Don Quixote’ of Health Care
Reform
Dr. Ira Williams often calls himself the “Don Quixote”
of Health Care Reform. At 85 years young he has been
hounding the five Federal Agencies created to solve the
health care crisis in this country for decades. With
over 130 years collectively between those agencies our
health care system is still a mess AND medical errors
leading to deaths in hospitals continues to rise. As
the oldest medical malpractice expert witness in the
country he knows what he’s talking about. He has
developed a system to empower local grassroots
activists in each state to radically change our health
care delivery system. “Everyone is focusing on how to
PAY for health care… when the DELIVERY system is what’s
really broken!” Dr. Williams will tell you why each
state is responsible for our nation’s healthcare
delivery system, what the 3-phase process is that we
need to implement to create a 21st century healthcare
delivery system and how to organize state wide
grassroots activists that will challenge the current
system and WIN! Dr. Ira Williams is an author, an
experienced surgeon, medical malpractice expert witness
and an expert in how to improve our healthcare delivery
system. His latest book is “Healthcare Warriors, Why
and How to Become One.” Contact Dr. Ira Williams at

18. ==> This Nazi Germany Survivor Forgave Hitler
While growing up in Nazi Germany, Rosemarie Musso’s
dentist father was almost executed for helping Jews to
evade capture. Although she and her family were spared
following the intervention of a well-connected family
friend, Rosemarie harbored deep anger and hatred toward
Hitler for decades. But she eventually forgave him upon
becoming a Born Again Christian, and she claims this
changed her life for the better. “When God told me to
forgive Hitler, I said you have got to be kidding,” she
says. “How could I forgive what this monster did? When
you carry grudges with you, it changes and transforms
you and turns you into a sour pickle.” She channeled
that energy into earning a law degree at age 63, and
writing the book “The Four Laws of Forgiveness:
Memories of Survival During WWII Nazi Germany.” She can
share how forgiving even the most heinous acts can
enable us to live more peaceful, harmonious lives.

19. ==> How Kids Will Save the World
In the wake of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School
shootings, a number of young survivors such as Emma
Gonzalez eloquently spoke out against gun violence,
while approximately one millions kids across the
country marched to show their support. According to
author and environmental engineer Yasmin Davar, these
kids will not only change the world due to their
actions. Their strong beliefs will also have a major
positive impact, on a local and global level. “We all
act on our beliefs,” Yasmin says. “If we change our
beliefs about others and our planet, and follow that up
with positive action, we can literally change the
world.” Yasmin will share a step-by-step guide for
everyday people as well as world leaders that is
simple, yet extremely powerful. In addition to being an
environmental engineer, Yasmin holds a Master of
International Studies degree in Peace and Conflict
Resolution and is the author of the book “Our Peaceful
Planet: Healing Ourselves and the World for a
Sustainable Future.” Contact her at

20. ==> Is Political Correctness Good for Kids?
These days, nothing’s more American than telling it
like it is – but author Wade Meadows says people are
too blunt, even brutal with each other, all in defiance
of this thing called “political correctness.” A
survivor of verbal and physical abuse, Wade will reveal
the lasting damage harsh, nasty language does to
children and grown-ups, and discuss the power of words
to build up or break down our relationships. Wade can
