1.==> Trump/Ukraine Scandal Fallout

For an interesting discussion on the whistleblower story invite co-founder and co-editor of The American Prospect Robert Kuttner on your show. He can discuss whether the scandal will derail Joe Biden’s campaign for the White House, the other Democratic presidential candidates and how much longer the “progressive non-aggression pact” will hold, and what impeachment means to the country and what progressives should be looking for in the process. Robert Kuttner is a former columnist for BusinessWeek, the Washington Post, and the Boston Globe. He is the author of twelve books including “The Stakes: 2020 and the Survival of American Democracy. He currently holds the Ida and Meyer Kirstein Chair at Brandeis University.

2. ==> Whistleblowing: Is it Always Ethical? (Or Truthful?)

What does it take to be a whistleblower? How do you know when to blow? In today’s world of grey – where right and wrong can appear blurry and the truth becomes subjective – what does it mean to be ‘ethical’ in business and in life? Interview John Smith – an ordinary guy who unwittingly got caught up in the 1980’s S&L crisis and found out the hard way that you don’t have to commit a crime to be convicted of one. “At the beginning of the FBI task force investigation, I gave them truth and honesty. I never lied about anything. Truth and integrity would eventually be my way up and out. They chose me over all other defendants, suspects and lawyers. They relied on my ethics and integrity. In the end this saved me.” John Smith is a speaker and author of “Embracing the Abyss” which chronicles his true story of unknowingly becoming a part of a fraud scandal and receiving a presidential pardon. Contact Smith at (214) 216-2199; JSmith@rtirguests.com

3. ==> Is it Time to Get Rid of the Electoral College?

As we enter another election cycle, the debate begins again over the Electoral College and whether it still serves a purpose in American politics. Historian and constitutional attorney Tara Ross has debated the merits of the much-maligned Electoral College and the National Popular Vote movement on stages across the U.S. Invite her to explain what the Electoral College does, how it began and why we still need it. The author of numerous books, Tara’s work has been published by many news outlets, including the National Law Journal, USA Today, the Washington Examiner, FoxNews.com, and The Washington Times. Her most recent book is “Why We Need the Electoral College.” Contact Jason Jones at jason@jonesliterary.com

4.==> 5 Reasons Tom Brady is Overrated

Sports columnists and talk radio hosts have been throwing around the term ‘G.O.A.T” (greatest of all time) when referring to Tom Brady, but Larry Taunton argues that the Patriots’ quarterback is overrated. “Best passer? Best athlete? The most skilled person to ever play that position? When you listen to the arguments, it becomes clear that almost no one believes he’s any of those things. No, it usually boils down to the fact that Brady has six Super Bowl rings. The implication is that those with rings are better than those without rings, and he who has the most rings is the G.O.A.T. It’s a simple and tempting measurement of greatness. But by that logic, Trent Dilfer was better than Dan Marino, and Brad Johnson was better than Jim Kelly. Does anyone really believe that?” Larry will share five reasons Brady is overrated and why he might better deserve the nickname L.O.T.R., rather than G.O.A.T. Larry Alex Taunton is the executive director of the Fixed Point Foundation and freelance columnist contributing to USA Today, First Things, The Atlantic, CNN, and The American Spectator. Contact Johanna Ramos Boyer at (703) 646-5137; (703) 400-1099 (cell); johanna@jrbcomm.com or Erin Bolden at (703) 646-5188.

5. ==> A Solution to Football’s Concussion Problem?

NFL, college and high school football are under attack. All because of the high risk of concussions 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 Paul Wand, MD, PA, to hear about the “Wand 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. Dr. Paul Wand has been a medical doctor for 35 years specializing in the field of Neurology and is the author of “The Concussion Cure: 3 Proven Methods to Heal Your Brain.” Contact him at (954) 743-5380; PWand@rtirguests.com

6. ==> Breaking News: DC Swamp Poised to Let Big Tech Kill Diversity

Americans remain unaware of the current battle in Washington, D.C., being waged by Big Tech and India that would eliminate diversity in American employment-based immigration and reward the very country monopolizing immigration to the U.S. with the majority of employment-based visas for the next decade or more. This week, Senators Mike Lee and Kamala Harris are attempting to push legislation through the Senate again that would make it impossible for the best and the brightest from any other country to legally immigrate to the U.S. for employment. For an eye-opening look at this breaking story, interview Hilarie Gamm, a national authority on the topic whose grassroots nonpartisan American Workers Coalition is pushing back against Bill S386. She can discuss why Cuban lobbyist Leon Fresco is working hard to shut out Latino’s from emigrating to the U.S. and whether President Trump will stick with his Buy American-Hire American credo or sign S386 if it is passed into law. A media favorite who recently appeared on Coast to Coast and Breitbart News Tonight, Gamm is the author of Amazon Best Seller: “Billions Lost: The American Tech Crisis and The Road Map to Change.” A respected tech veteran, working mother and patriot, she is successfully pushing labor/immigration issues into the 2020 election narrative through her continued efforts in D.C.

7. ==> Why America Needs a Robust African Foreign Policy

Americans have sent millions of dollars to help people in Africa over the decades, yet the conditions faced by many there aren’t improving. According to UNICEF, by 2050, Africa will be home to 35% of all adolescents in the world. A poorly educated, disenfranchised young population is a perfect recruiting ground for those who perpetrate evil in our world. Most of the nations of Sub-Saharan Africa have very poor, or at best, subpar healthcare systems. Eventually, this situation poses a serious threat to all mankind. Is foreign aid really the solution? Invite author, speaker, and neurosurgeon Dr. Sylvanus Ayeni, to reveal some surprising plausible solutions. As the president of Pan Africa Children Advocacy Watch, Inc., he envisions the path forward for these nations. His new book “Rescue Thyself: Change in Sub-Saharan Africa Must Come from Within” reveals what many in the West don’t understand about the root causes of Sub-Saharan Africa’s plight and the necessary steps to improve the situation. Contact Sylvanus Ayeni at (301) 812-4579 (MD); SAyeni@rtirguests.com

8. ==> Disney Voice-Over Artist Sees Dead People

Your listeners will recognize Jarrad Hewett’s voice the moment he opens his mouth. He’s recorded over two thousand TV and radio commercials and has been heard on virtually every major network in America. But it’s what he SEES – not says – that is his true gift. AKA the Badass Psychic, Jarrad sees dead people AND the energy in and around everyone. Jarrad will discuss his early psychic experiences and the strange encounter with an older woman that made him realize that what he saw as a heavy burden and something broken and wrong with him, was actually a gift that he could use to help others. Jarrad Hewett is one of the most recognized voices on the Disney channel, CMT, and HGTV, where he narrates the show Tiny Houses, Big Living. His natural abilities allow him to see and transmute all forms of energy. He specializes in visionary teaching and remote healing energy work and has written several best-selling books including “Love, Life, God: The Journey of Creation” and his latest, “The Answer is Energy.” Contact Harlan Boll at (626) 296-3757; h.boll@dcpublicity.com

9. ==> Where Are Most Common Superstitions Come from

Have you ever wondered why some hotels don’t have a 13th floor or why black cats are considered bad luck? Or why we say “God bless you” when someone sneezes? And how a broken mirror came to symbolize seven years of bad times ahead? Or thought twice about opening an umbrella in the house? All of these things are superstitions, and they are powerful merely because we believe them. Interview Wade Meadows who will share some theories on why these superstitions have taken root in popular culture and ways lives are sometimes ruined because of them. Wade had the misfortune of being born on a Friday the 13th to a mother who had triskaidekaphobia, the name given to people who fear the number 13. He spent many years being told that he was cursed at birth but has managed to overcome that false belief. He is the author of “Letters from the Ashes” and “Ashes Forged into Manhood.” Contact him at (225) 224-8697; WMeadows@rtirguests.com

10. ==> Develop Your Inner Bull***t Detector!

Fake news. False social media propaganda. Government officials and leaders who lie, lie, lie. No wonder modern people feel so anxious, angry and disconnected from reality. Author Kim Chestney has the simple yet powerful solution: Intuition! “Intuition is the most important, yet least understood faculty of human consciousness.” Kim says. “Getting your ego out of the way and developing your inner voice is a great bull***t detector. It can also facilitate well-being and growth in all aspects of your life.” Virtually every successful person including Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Oprah Winfrey and more also possesses this trait. Kim is an international best-selling author and intuition expert who founded the popular CREATE! Festival in Pittsburgh, Pa. and the global online Intuition school, IntuitionLab. Contact Kim at KChestney@rtirguests.com; 412-214-9502

11. ==> How the World Gets Better When You Love Yourself

Whether it’s the man in the White House or customers in line at the grocery story, treating people with respect and kindness appears to have gone the way of the rotary phone, eight-track tapes and cursive handwriting. What’s fueling this rise in rude, boorish behavior? Joffre McClung believes it’s something very basic but profound. “Self-love, or the lack of self- love, determines not only how we see ourselves but how we experience the world around us. It’s the prism through which we see and define all things,” explains Joffre. Listeners will hear how a lack of self-love manifests and impacts our lives and learn simple ways to encourage self-appreciation and gratitude. Joffre McClung has appeared on dozens of radio and TV programs. She’s a former media producer, independent filmmaker, and the author of “The Heart of the Matter.” Contact Joffre McClung at (917) 994-0225 (TX); JMcClung@rtirguests.com

12. ==> Consumer Alert: Hidden Cash in Your Insurance Policy

Imagine if you could receive CASH for that life insurance policy you or your parents don’t need anymore! Did you know that 70 billion dollars of life insurance policies go to waste annually? Simply because consumers don’t know a little-known secret that, if you qualify, you could receive up to 75% of your death benefits in CASH! Interview David Kottler, the Insurance Doctor, who will explain all that as well as why the Transamerica COI Settlement is a big WIN for insurance companies and a big LOSS for policy holders. Listeners will learn what’s going on with the settlement, what it means to the average policy holder and what they can do to protect themselves from insurance companies that are illegally raising their mortality costs. David combines his legal and business experience with a passion for philanthropy. His book is “The Best Kept Money Secret in Your Insurance Policy.” Contact David Kottler at (216) 532-1221; DKottler@rtirguests.com?

13. ==> What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You: Treating VS Curing Illness

Sometimes conventional medicine just doesn’t work. Whether they have a chronic illness, auto-immune disease or cancer, millions of people struggle to simply manage their symptoms let alone cure the illness. But Reena Jadhav says it’s possible to reverse every disease… if you take back control of your health and your body. A successful tech entrepreneur, Reena spent years fighting colon cancer and a misdiagnosed auto-immune illness. Now symptom-free and healthier than ever, she shares the science behind the New Health Pyramid she created during what became her 15 month healing process. Reena is the author of several books and the creator of HealthBootcamp.com, an online resource featuring cutting-edge information from top doctors as well as podcasts, health news and other tools and support to help people take control of their disease and become healthy. Contact Reena Jadhav at (650) 309-1005; RJadhav@rtirguests.com

14. ==> Is a Happy Childhood Only a Myth?

When you talk to people, it becomes apparent that many folks grew up in dysfunctional families. In fact, you may wonder whether people who say they had a happy childhood are actually telling the truth to you—and themselves. Anne Andrew, Ph.D., an author, former school principal, and parenting coach, says that all of us have suffered family traumas while growing up that have affected us more than we may realize. Invite Anne on your program to explain the six steps anyone can use to put that trauma behind them and to be grateful for who they are today as the result of living through those events. She is the author of “What They Don’t Teach in Prenatal Class: The Key to Raising Trouble-Free Kids and Teens.” Contact her at (604) 263-8751 (home) and (604) 720-2776 (mobile); info@anneandrew.com

15. ==> Domestic Violence Awareness Month

One in four women and one in seven men in the United States have experienced severe physical violence in their relationships, statistics that paint a picture of just how common domestic violence is. Dellia Evans, O.D., knows the issues associated with abusive relationships only too well having been married to a man who abused her for nearly 20 years. She’ll discuss how men and women can overcome their need for approval that keeps them captive in destructive relationships and
why some women don’t realize they’re being emotionally abused. She’ll also share a quiz to determine if your relationship qualifies as abusive. Dr. Evans is an optometrist and the author of “Heart Vision: How to See Your Path Forward When You’re in a Dark Place.” Contact her at (884)798-9898; visible@drdellia.com

16. ==> Former Prof. Shares Shocking Truths about College

During the 11 years Glen Dunzweiler spent as a college professor, he learned some profound truths. To his astonishment, he discovered that many students had no idea what they would do with their degrees or how they would pay off their student debt. They were going to school merely because people told them they needed to and because universities are highly skilled at marketing themselves. Glen is making it his mission to ensure that parents have important conversations with their children, well before the first college tour. He’ll reveal what that conversation should sound like as well as the paradoxical, self-serving way universities use tuition money to preserve their business interests to the detriment of students. He can answer such questions as what should be taught in every class that isn’t and should parents refuse to allow their children to take certain majors. Glen is a former college professor, a documentarian and the author of two books. His latest is “A Degree in Homelessness? Entrepreneurial Skills for Students.” Contact Glen at (702) 703-2219; GDunzweiler@rtirguests.com

17. ==> How to Start a ‘Gentleman’s Club’ for Dad-less Boys

As the divorced father of two sons, Pastor Eric Hawthorne knows the struggles that young boys who grow up without dads face. “A lot of boys don’t know how to become men due to that lack of role models. We need programs through which men can help them to learn manhood. It will impact society for the long haul and keep boys out of trouble.” The program the Gentleman’s Club launched by South Carolina elementary school teacher Raymond Nelson is one great example. Such programs help to install boys with confidence, self-respect and respect for others. Pastor Eric can share how to mentor young fatherless boys to help them to become great men. He is the second-generation pastor of Daystar Deliverance Ministries in Richardson, Texas, and the author of the upcoming book “Are You Ready for Marriage?” Contact Eric at EHawthorne@rtirguests.com; (214) 225-0769.

18. ==> Healing Emotional Pain in the #MeToo Era

The #MeToo movement has unearthed all kinds of painful memories of sexual abuse, but what are the victims to do once they’re faced with such raw and difficult emotion again? Invite author, speaker, and personal transformation expert Arnoux Goran to reveal how to help victims fully and permanently recover from sexual abuse, even if it happened for many years or through many generations in their family. Goran has developed a method to reprogram yourself that was studied by the University of California, Irvine, and proven to be 100% effective. His new book is “The Answer: How to Change Your Life and Make Your Dreams Come True.” Ask him: Is it really possible to escape the emotional scars of sexual abuse? What are some of your most dramatic stories of helping victims heal? Contact Arnoux Goran at (878) 203-8231 (CA); AGoran@rtirguests.com

19. ==> How Far Would You Go to Promote Your Spouse’s Legacy?

Many people love their spouses very much. But few will devote themselves to preserving that spouse’s legacy after they pass away. Marguerite Berrah—who prefers to be called Mrs. Berrah—finds herself in that rare position. She is the wife of the late Ghoulem Berrah, whose considerable accomplishments include being a freedom fighter, working as a diplomat, promoter of world peace and physician and scientist credited with a DNA breakthrough. Invite Mrs. Berrah to share some of her husband’s adventures contained in his memoir, “A Dream for Peace,” and how their 40-year-marriage clicked despite him being a Muslim and her being a Catholic. You might also ask her about her husband’s secret Paris meeting with PLO Yasser Arafat’s senior advisor Isam Sartawi and the Israeli Council for Israeli-Palestinian Peace, the famous people Ghoulem met, his work promoting religious tolerance and the foundation that bears his name. Contact Marguerite Berrah, (305) 933-6088; berrahghoulem@icloud.com

20. ==> This Woodstock-Era Singer-Songwriter on a World Peace Mission

When a Woodstock-era singer-songwriter who shared the stage with the Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead discovers the formula by which the entire earth planet can live in perfect peace and Barack Obama praises the song in which he presents this formula, he is most definitely worth a listen. His name is Sankarshan Das and he circles the globe twice a year to enlighten his audiences through speaking and singing how they can awaken perfect peace within themselves and be instrumental in bringing a peace revolution to our greatly troubled planet. He’s the author of the upcoming book “A Hippie Becomes a Happy.” Contact him at (512) 835-8400: sd@turnontheworld.com

1.==> The History of Whistleblowers in America

Middlebury College Professor Dr. Allison Stanger has
analyzed a range of whistleblowing episodes from
corrupt Revolutionary War commodore Esek Hopkins (whose
dismissal led to the first whistleblower protection law
in 1778) to Edward Snowden to the dishonesty of Donald
Trump, and she believes whistleblowing is essential to
American democracy’s wellbeing. Invite the author of
“Whistleblowers: Honesty in America from Washington to
Trump” to discuss how changing technology and
increasing militarization make exposing misconduct more
difficult to do and more personally costly for those
who do it, but why American freedom, especially today,
depends on it. Contact Johanna Ramos Boyer at (703)
646-5137; (703) 400-1099 (cell); johanna@jrbcomm.com or
Erin Bolden at (703) 646-5188.

2. ==> How the Sexual Revolution Led to Identity
Politics

We live in a very polarized time where people have
divided themselves into ideological tribes. And while
many speculate on how this has occurred, Mary Eberstadt
believes the rise of identity politics is a direct
result of the collapse of the family. In her new book,
“Primal Screams: How the Sexual Revolution Created
Identity Politics,” Eberstadt claims that with the
decline of the family, generations of people have been
set adrift and lack a firm sense of who they are. To
fill the void, according to the author, they shape
their identity according to their membership in a
politicized group. She says their constant fury is a
primal scream for the familial root system of which
they have been deprived. Eberstadt is an essayist,
novelist, and the author of several books. She is also
senior research fellow at the Faith & Reason Institute.
Contact her at (202) 289-8775; info@frinstitute.org

3. ==> Vaping Update: Will E-Cig Bans Prevent Illness?

The furor over vaping reached a crescendo last week
with two congressional hearings, hundreds of new cases
of a mysterious lung disease, upheaval at e-cigarette
maker Juul and canceled merger plans between Big
Tobacco companies Altria and Philip Morris
International. Invite Scott D. Ballin to discuss the
issues involving vaping. Ballin has spent more than 40
years involved in issues related to tobacco and public
health. He can discuss the current vaping crisis,
whether banning e-cigarettes will prevent more people
from getting sick, and whether government regulation of
the vaping industry is needed. Ballin has worked on a
spectrum of tobacco and nicotine issues ranging from
labeling reforms on cigarettes and smokeless tobacco
products to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
regulation of tobacco. Contact Mark Goldman at (516)
639-0988 (Text/Call); Markgoldman73@gmail.com

4.==> Bahamas Post-Dorian Recovery

Hurricane Dorian walloped the island of Grand Bahama
earlier this month with such force that residents there
still have a hard time grasping what they witnessed.
Invite Huffington Post environmental reporter Chris
D’Angelo to describe how residents are doing in the
aftermath and how they survived. After making landfall
Sept. 1 on the nearby Abaco Islands, the storm ? the
most powerful on record in the Bahamas ? stalled over
Grand Bahama for 30 hours leaving 70 percent of Grand
Bahama, where 50,000 people live, under water. He says
residents have described the storm as a monster, and
different from the many that have impacted the island
in recent decades. Chris D’Angelo is an environment
reporter at HuffPost, based in Washington, D.C. Contact
him at (314) 580-0191, chris.dangelo@huffpost.com or

5. ==> Great Halloween Show: Revelations of an
Undertaker’s Daughter

Most people don’t like to talk or even think about
death. But while growing up in a Midwestern funeral
home where her dad was an undertaker, Margo Lenmark
learned a lot about life from dead people. “I can share
fascinating experiences of growing up around death and
dead people, and the messages I received from them,”
she says. “I have a lot to say about death and gifts
people give when they die.” Margo can reveal her
journeys to the other side, experiences she had in
dreams and the important messages she received about
life from the deceased. She is the author of “Light in
the Mourning: Memoirs of an Undertaker’s Daughter,”
which has received glowing reviews from a number of
prominent authors and spiritual leaders including
Deepak Chopra. Contact Margo at
MLenmark@rtirguests.com; (484) 928-7824.

6. ==> Keeping Congress Accountable

Congress has a lot on its plate, but will anything get
done? Leadership expert Mark Lewis doubts it. “The
reason Congress can’t get anything done is because of
the label on each one of their backs. I frequently ask
people what political party they’re affiliated with and
no one wants to answer the question because they’re
immediately labeled and put in a box. Any thinking
outside of that box is ostracized; if a Democrat or a
Republican even thinks about crossing the line and
agreeing with a concept by the other side they’re
viewed as a traitor.” Lewis has created a grass roots
campaign and the American Accountability Pledge based
on the premise of serving others, being kind, and
showing gratitude. He says his goal is to get every
member of Congress to sign-on, though currently, he’s
finding it difficult to get any commitments. Mark Lewis
is a business consultant, corporate growth expert and
president of Communique LLC. He’s the author of “Give a
Damn: The Ticket to Cultural Change.” Contact him at

7. ==> China’s Hidden Danger to the U.S. Economy

One of the biggest threats the Chinese pose to the U.S.
economy is through energy production. As Pat Cunnane
will explain, while U.S. energy production has been
hovering at 4 trillion kilowatts for years, the Chinese
have been building energy ahead of demand and in five
years could hit 10 trillion kilowatts. This is
significant, he says, because energy is money. He can
talk about what the U.S. can do to solve the climate
change problem while having unlimited carbon-free
energy and continuing to boast super wealth. Ask him:
Can you explain why you believe your patented
hydropower process will be a game-changer for the U.S.
economy? How can we solve the U.S.-Chinese trade
deficit problem? Cunnane is the author of “The Physics
to Economics Model.” An experienced talk show guest, he
has been a corporate asset manager for more than 30
years and recently presented on the Chinese energy
topic at Kent State University. Contact him at (440)

8. ==> Just in Time for 2020 Political Paranoia:
Conversation Crisis

When’s the last time you had a decent conversation?
Today we find ourselves in an overly connected society
that ironically experiences very little real connection
between individuals. Why? “Much of this can be laid at
the doorstep of technology that reinforces our desire
for convenience (speed and availability) over true
connection – individual to individual – face to face,”
says Ivan Obolensky. Deterioration in the art of
communication can be seen not only across kitchen
tables but also on the national stage. You only have to
look as far as political debates and late-night pundits
to see how far we have fallen. Interview Ivan to find
out what your audience needs to know now to create
meaningful conversations (start by being curious and
interested instead of being interesting!) and what to
avoid at all costs (don’t commit “assumicide!”) Ivan
Obolensky is an author and a true Renaissance man in
his own right. He is the author of “Eye of the Moon.”

9. ==> 7 Steps to Keep Your Immunity Strong this Cold &
Flu Season

As the weather gets colder and people spend more time
indoors the likelihood of getting sick with a cold or
the flu rises. Fortunately, there are steps you can
take to boost your immune system. Nathalie Beauchamp,
D.C., IFMCP, has identified seven simple tips that can
make a difference in the health of entire families. The
most important one; cutting down on sugar. “Sugar can
depress the immune system by reducing the ability of
white blood cells to kill germs by up to 40%, from
anywhere between 30 minutes to five hours after
ingestion,” she says, adding that drinking alcohol has
a similar effect on immunity. Dr. Nathalie, an Ottawa-
based doctor of chiropractic and certified functional
medicine practitioner with the Institute of Functional
Medicine, has owned the Santé Chiropractic and Wellness
Centre, in Ottawa, for 23 years. She is also a public
speaker and a TV and radio personality. Her latest book

Natural Health Solutions for People On the Go!” Contact

10. ==> How to Dump Your Negative Parents, Friends and
Family

We all have them – those parents, friends and relations
who do nothing but criticize, complain about anything
and everything and make us feel small and undeserving.
Well, it’s time to call them out on their negativity,
start a dialog and if that doesn’t work, take a break
or walk away from that relationship. Annie Evans
believes that if you don’t deal with them, there’s a
really good chance you’ll turn out just like them.
Evans personally knows how negativity breeds
negativity. Combined with some serious life challenges,
she went on her own downward spiral. Being raised by a
severely mentally-ill mom and losing two life partners
is just the tip of the iceberg. Evans will share her
startling story, and help listeners learn real
strategies to change their mindsets, interactions and
take charge of their attitudes. Contact her at
aevans@rtirguests.com or (310) 621-0456.

11. ==> Is Food One of Our Best Weapons Against Cancer?

We don’t typically think of food as medicine, but
according to physician Ed Dodge, food is enormously
important as one of our best available weapons against
cancer as well as other chronic diseases such as type 2
diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Invite Dr. Dodge
to tell your audience why certain nutrient-rich,

12. ==> Boomer Lifestyle Expert: How to Live Happier
with Less

Rita Wilkins, “The Downsizing Designer,” spent her
career helping to design thousands of corporate and
residential interiors. Yet her biggest epiphany came
when she visited her son Kevin in Senegal where he was
serving in the Peace Corps. There, 8,000 miles away
from her beautiful much too large home, Wilkins
observed people who were very happy with few
possessions. The experience led to a downsizing journey
giving away 95% of her belongings and moving from a
5,000 square feet home to an 867 square-foot apartment.
Wilkins learned that living with less allowed her to
live more fully. “That yearlong journey was one of the
most challenging, most revealing and most rewarding
years of my life. During the process of decluttering
and downsizing my home, I discovered the real me that
was hiding underneath all of that beautiful stuff.”
She’ll discuss the roller-coaster of emotions that
accompanies downsizing, how to stop assigning meaning
to “stuff,” and how owning fewer things makes room for
what matters most. Wilkins has been featured on WHYY,
Sirius-XM and in USA Today and other publications. For
over 35 years, she has designed thousands of interiors
including corporate penthouses and C-suites, Supreme
Court Justice Chambers and thousands of homes.

14. ==> Too Early for Christmas Music? No Way!

While some people are concerned about Christmas music
creep—playing carols on the radio before
Thanksgiving—Renae Baker isn’t one of them. Baker, who
describes herself as a specialist in Christmas spirit,
says now is the perfect time to lay the groundwork for
your holiday spirit to take root. Otherwise, she says,
people may be blindsided to discover their spirit is
MIA in December when they need it. And this year, when
talk of presidential impeachment is in the air, mass
shootings are commonplace and people seem more
concerned about what divides them than brings them
together, Baker says we desperately need to reboot our
spirit to stop losing our faith in humanity.
Affectionately known as Mrs. Christmas, Baker has
managed a professional caroling company for decades.
She and her carolers have been featured on Fox News
Chief Religion Correspondent Lauren Green’s, Mighty
Christmas special and many more media outlets. She’s

15. ==> Lady Rancher: How Women Can Wrangle Fulfilling
Lives

Like many women over 40, Sandra Matheson found herself
at a daunting crossroads. She was divorced, unable to
continue her career as a veterinarian due to work-
related chemical sensitivities and stuck with a money-
losing farm. But she managed to turn lemons into
lemonade by focusing on rebuilding her farm, which
became a metaphor for her life. “Just as a farmer grows
crops, you can make the choice to grow your dreams
after 40,” she says. “The main focus has to be on
silencing your ‘inner critic.’ Growing your life will
take some work. However, the fruits of that harvest are
well worth it. ” Sandra is a co-host of Cowgirl Camps,
which teach women about farming and ranching. She is

16. ==> Six-Word System to Build Your Network (FAST!)

Did you know there was one word that both George W.
Bush and Bill Clinton used that was key to being
elected President of the United States? Tom and Lindy
Schneider say it’s hard to learn, but easy to use and

Warren Buffet requires anyone he mentors to know. The
Schneiders says these six words, when used together,
will give you a system to accelerate your connections
with others, both personally and professionally. Tom

society is doing to mitigate the adverse health effects

19. ==> This M.D. Can Cure Opioid Addiction without
Drugs

As the opioid crisis has reached epidemic proportions,
health professionals primarily rely on drugs such as
methadone to cure addiction. But Dr. Isaac Alexis says

addiction, which focus on the whole person. “It’s not

treating their environments and families.” He can also

2. ==> But What about Biden?

Conservative commentator Deroy Murdock argues that Donald Trump is not the ‘bad guy’ in the swirling scandal over his dealings with Ukraine. Instead, he says, Joe Biden’s actions involving his son “reek of extortion and obstruction of justice.” Murdock argues that in 2016 Biden threatened to withhold foreign aid to Ukraine unless a prosecutor investigating a company affiliated with his son was fired and that he later bragged publicly about it. Murdock also has doubts about the whistleblower involved, calling the person “mysterious” and the claims “hearsay.” New York commentator Deroy Murdock is a nationally-syndicated columnist, a Manhattan-based Fox News Contributor, a contributing editor with National Review Online, and a senior fellow with the London Center for Policy Research. Contact him at (212) 995-1538; tiradesRus@hotmail.com; screeds@gmail.com.

3. ==> Does it Pay to Be Ethical in Business… and in Life?

What does it really mean to be ethical in business and in life? Today people are living in a grey area… an area that blurs the lines between right and wrong, ethical and unethical. Would you know fraud if you saw it? At work or in yourself? Interview John Smith – an ordinary guy who unwittingly got caught up in the 1980’s S&L crisis and found out the hard way that you don’t have to commit a crime to be convicted of one. “Most people are unaware of what fraud actually is so it’s overlooked and people remain unaware of illegal activity around them. We all need to know exactly what fraud is, how it happens, why it happens and how to avoid it!” says John. John Smith is an author and a professional speaker who shares his gripping story and the consequences of ethical and unethical behavior. His book “Embracing the Abyss” chronicles his true story of unknowingly becoming a part of a fraud scandal and receiving a presidential pardon. Contact him at (214) 216-2199; JSmith@rtirguests.com

4.==> Saturday is National Ghost Hunting Day!

What’s it like growing up in family homes surrounded by ghosts and their stories? Interview Ivan Obolensky and find out! Ivan’s rich personal history includes his grandfather, Serge Obolensky – the famed “Prince of New York”, and his grandmother Alice (of Astor fame) who died holding an Egyptian book of the dead on her chest. Convinced that people lived on after death, she proved it by scaring off governesses and attracting a large number of black cats that kept returning to her home on 61st Street in NYC even after extermination was tried. The family home was eventually exorcised. Ivan’s grandfather, Serge, had ghost stories of his own to tell including one of a Captain recovering from TB in the Crimea who appeared to Serge’s mother and butler at the family’s country home many miles away and vanished before their eyes. They later learned he had died and that the visitor was his ghost. Ivan Obolensky is the author” Eye of the Moon.” Contact him at (818) 495-8731; IObolensky@rtirguests.com

5. ==> The True Story of a Daughter’s Possession and Exorcism

William Dorian discovered demonic possession is very real when his 15-year old daughter tried to communicate with the dead using a Ouija board. What began as an innocent game eventually led to multiple evil entities taking hold of the teen and tormenting the entire family. Invite Dorian, author of “The Holy Water Incident,” to share the extreme measures his family took in the spiritual battle to save their daughter and hear about the overwhelming trauma on the family’s quiet life, how local religious authorities gave them a cold shoulder and doctors’ only solution was confinement in a psychiatric unit. William Dorian has worked as a teacher, social worker, journalist, and theater director. Contact Kat Sanborn at (651) 312-8452; KatS@Llewellyn.com

6. ==> How the Burning Rainforest is Killing the Entire Planet

As the world watches in horror as Brazil’s Amazon Rainforest burns at an unprecedented rate, it’s a lot graver than most people realize. “The Amazon is the planet’s lungs, producing 20 percent of the oxygen in the earth’s atmosphere,” says environmental engineer and author Yasmin Davar. “The fires have immediate impacts on the destruction of habitat for animals, indigenous people’s homes and the amount of greenhouse gases produced, which contributes to a global temperature rise. This in turn leads to extreme weather events like droughts. Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, whose policies have led to this disaster, is operating under the outdated beliefs that the earth is separate to us and exists for us to destroy as we please, and that the only way to thrive economically is to exploit the environment.” Yasmin holds a Master of International Studies in Peace and Conflict Resolution and is the author of “Our Peaceful Planet: Healing Ourselves and the World for a Sustainable Future.” Contact Yasmin at YDavar@rtirguests.com

7. ==> Why Next Year Could be the NFL’s Most Dangerous

The National Football League has been celebrating its 100-year run by looking back at its heyday. According to Nita Wiggins, who covered the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas for a decade, the NFL’s future glory is anything but assured. “We are facing a year of reckoning,” says Wiggins, who interviewed Hall of Fame players up-close and personal in their homes and who understands why up-and-coming stars are retiring–stars such as Andrew Luck. And, while players wrestle for control over their social media imaging and activism, the current labor contract is approaching its end after the 2020 season. Wiggins is a former boxing coach and judge and television reporter who now teaches journalism in Paris, France. She is the author of “Civil Rights Baby: My Story of Race, Sports, and Breaking Barriers in American Journalism.” Contact her at NWiggins@rtirguests.com

8. ==> Trash or Treasure? Avoid Flea Market Rip Offs

It’s flea market season and while finding treasures amid the trash can feel exhilarating, too many times people wind up hauling home fakes and frauds instead of true flea market gold! Invite Patty Penke to share tips to help treasure hunters spot a good value and negotiate the best deal. You’ll learn what to avoid completely, how to check a piece’s value while shopping and when to talk away from a deal.

9. ==> Take this Quiz: Are You Really Living in the Moment?

A lot of people think they’re living in the moment, but Joffre McClung says many are actually sleepwalking through life not realizing what they’re missing. “Living in the moment is about being present in your life, moving through the world consciously and with purpose, and being aware of your behavior and its impact on those around you,” explains the personal growth expert and author.

10. ==> Why Do Our Best Students Feel Dumb?

Students feel DUMB when they cram for a test on Thursday, get an A on Friday and forget it all by Monday. Students feel SMART when they remember and even smarter when they use new, remembered knowledge to solve problems in unique ways. SMART schools have processes in place that make the “Cram Plan” impossible. “Who has the most control over education? The answer might surprise you… but almost everyone I talk to agrees with my answer!” says Lee Jenkins, educator, administrator and author. According to Lee, it’s easier than you think to solve the educational dilemma in this country… by getting rid of cramming, once and for all! Lee shows your audience how! Lee Jenkins is the author of “How to Create a Perfect School,” foreword by Jack Canfield. He’s been an educator and administrator in public schools and universities.

11. ==> It’s National Self-Improvement Month: How to Be Better (Without Really Trying!)

Who wants to be told that they need to be better – that they need to improve? No one! But it’s instinctively something we know we need to hear… we DO need to be better! Interview Jennifer Cochern, a seasoned counselor who helps people understand who they are and how they can be better. And it’s easier than you think! She will tell your audience how to make the most with what they’ve got… and more importantly how to make it FUN! “Sometimes it’s as easy as saying no to the people around you or finding a new hobby that gets you out of the house and meeting new people,” says Jennifer. “Self-Improvement can sometimes feel like self-care!” Jennifer Cochern, LCPC is a counselor and the author of Alignment: Move from Internal Chaos to Clarity. She has worked with hundreds of clients promoting personal growth and healthier relationship skills. Contact Jennifer at (208) 817-2870; JCochern@rtirguests.com ?

12. ==> Smart Tip: Use Life Insurance to Pay Hospital Bills

With the state of health care today many people live in fear that a life-threatening illness could wipe out their savings, creating a financial maelstrom that their family would never recover from. Did you know that, if you qualify, you could receive up to 75% of your death benefits in CASH? David Kottler, also known as the Insurance Doctor ™, explains how selling off that life insurance policy you or your loved one doesn’t need any more can generate the cash to pay hospital bills… get out of debt… or even make a cash gift to the non-profit of their choice! How is this possible? Most people don’t know the little-known secret that when you don’t need your policy any longer you can auction it off! Find out how! David combines his legal and business experience with a passion for philanthropy. His book The Best Kept Money Secret in Your Insurance Policy details everything your audience needs to know about how to get that insurance policy working for them! Contact David at (216) 532-1221; DKottler@rtirguests.com ?

13. ==> Former Prof. Shares Shocking Truths about College

During the 11 years Glen Dunzweiler spent as a college professor, he learned some profound truths. To his astonishment, he discovered that many students had no idea what they would do with their degrees or how they would pay off their student debt. They were going to school merely because people told them they needed to and because universities are highly skilled at marketing themselves. Glen is making it his mission to ensure that parents have important conversations with their children, well before the first college tour. He’ll reveal what that conversation should sound like as well as the paradoxical, self-serving way universities use tuition money to preserve their business interests to the detriment of students. He can answer such questions as what should be taught in every class that isn’t and should parents refuse to allow their children to take certain majors. Glen is a former college professor, a documentarian and the author of two books. His latest is “A Degree in Homelessness? Entrepreneurial Skills For Students.” Contact Glen at (702) 703-2219; GDunzweiler@rtirguests.com

14. ==> How Medical Bullying Could Affect Your Health Care

Medical professionals are supposed to save lives not ruin them. But according to Sharon Bahrych (pronounced Bear-rich), a 30-year-career physician assistant, medicine has a dirty little secret: bullying is commonplace and counterproductive to patient safety. Nurses bully other nurses, physician assistants, and medical residents are bullied by their attending physicians, and people in the profession are strongly advised to put up with physical assaults, verbal abuse, intimidation and more. Whistleblowing gets people fired. Sharon, who plans a TEDx talk on the subject, can share some of the incidents of bullying that have happened to her. She can also discuss ways the medical culture is slowly changing for the better and five things that can be done to accelerate that process. Sharon is a physician’s assistant who trained at Baylor College of Medicine. She has a master’s in public health from the University of Texas School of Public Health.

15. ==> 6 Steps to Turn an Unhappy Childhood into a Happy One

When you talk to people, it becomes apparent that many folks grew up in dysfunctional families. In fact, you may wonder whether people who say they had a happy childhood are actually telling the truth to you—and themselves. Anne Andrew, Ph.D., an author, former school principal, and parenting coach, says that all of us have suffered family traumas while growing up that have affected us more than we may realize. Invite Anne on your program to explain the six steps anyone can use to put that trauma behind them and to be grateful for who they are today as the result of living through those events. She is the author of “What They Don’t Teach in Prenatal Class: The Key to Raising Trouble-Free Kids and Teens.” Contact her at (604) 263-8751 (home) and (604) 720-2776 (mobile); info@anneandrew.com

16. ==> 5 Tips for Busy Moms to Go from Exhausted to Exhilarated

The balancing act of being a working mother and wife can be overwhelming. Most women are just in survival mode trying to put everyone before themselves. As a result, they let go of their unfulfilled dreams and give up. “Taking care of yourself first is not selfish,” declares multi-published children’s author, immigrant, and mother of three Rosie J. Pova, who struggled with trying to balance being a mom, wife, and dreamer. Invite her to share the lessons she learned along the way to help other women stop sacrificing and start caring for themselves as well as the rest of the family.

17. ==> What’s Your Compulsive Habit? And How to Stop it!

Whether you admit it or not, Michael McGee, M.D., believes you probably have an addiction or compulsive habit that controls your behavior and your choices. One out of three people is overtly addicted to something – like alcohol or drugs. But did you know that virtually two out of three people are covertly addicted to something – and they may not even realize it? Subtle behaviors like gossiping, judging others, people pleasing, shopping and working can all be compulsive. Interview Dr. McGee about the science of habit and his “Good now, Bad later” philosophy to help your audience figure out their own compulsive habits and what to do about them! Dr. Michael McGee trained at Stanford and Harvard Medical Schools. The author of “The Joy of Recovery: The New 12 Step Guide to Recovery from Addiction” has helped hundreds of patients beat addiction. Contact him at (978) 971-9703; MMcGee@rtirguests.com

18. ==> Why Donald Trump’s Third Marriage Will End, Bigly!

Thrice-married Donald Trump has already experienced two disgraceful divorces. Pastor and marriage counselor Rev. George Sukhdeo believes that Trump’s marriage to Melania is also doomed. “Trump’s marriage is not going to end well; his wife will most likely leave him,” he says. “He doesn’t have the vaguest concept of marriage. He doesn’t treat women with love and respect, or value them for who they are.” Rev. George has been married to his wife, Shirley, for 46 years and has counseled 500 troubled couples, with an 85 percent success rate. He is an ordained minister with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada with 34 years of experience in Christian ministries as a pastor, Christian counselor and life coach. He is the author of “Preparing for and Fostering Harmony in Marriage.” Contact Rev. George at GSukhdeo@rtirguests.com; (647) 691-6042.

19. ==> Here’s a Scientific Formula for a Success in Life

While science and religion have long been considered mutually exclusive, David L. Peters credits both for his good fortune in his life. At 84, he has achieved great prominence in his career as an engineer, holds 18 patents, raised seven great kids and has enjoyed a loving marriage of 57 years. In addition, he has just become a first-time author of a well-received book that reveals the secrets to success and happiness. “My faith comes through science, as I firmly believe that quantum physics has proven the existence of a power or force beyond all,” he says. David has accomplished this by applying the 12 Steps of Alcoholic Anonymous to his daily life, which he says can help anyone, even if they never touched liquor or drugs. He can share simple but powerful ways how others can, too. David L. Peters is the author of “The 12 Steps to Joy and Happiness: Finding the Kingdom of God that Lies Within.” Contact him at DPeters@rtirguests.com; (607) 304-3329.

20. ==> The Forgotten Lives of the Abortion Debate

As the U.S. has become bitterly divided by the current changes to abortion laws, best-selling author Jane Jenkins Herlong points out that one faction of society is being completely over-looked: elderly people. “When it comes to sanctity of life, we really need to focus on the elderly,” she says. “The extreme abortion laws from New York to Alabama are vastly different. This also affects the elderly, who are not part of the current discussion.” Jane can discuss what she learned from caring for her own elderly mom, and why we need to take greater measures to protect the elderly to ensure that they live the remainder of their lives in safety, comfort and dignity. She is a former Miss America contestant and the award-winning author of four books including Rhinestones on My Flip-Flops. In addition, she has recorded music CDs and personal growth and comedy DVDs. As a humorist, her comedy is featured on Sirius XM 97. Contact Jane at JHerlong@rtirguests.com; (803) 599-2941.

1.==> If Trump Committed Extortion and Bribery…

President Trump reportedly dangled millions of dollars
in military aid to Ukraine in exchange for Kiev
investigating Joe Biden. If true, Barbara McQuade says
the exchange looks a lot like old-fashioned corruption
and could be prosecuted. McQuade is a professor from
practice at the University of Michigan Law School. She
served as United States Attorney for the Eastern
District of Michigan and Co-Chair of the Terrorism and
National Security Subcommittee of the Attorney
General’s Advisory Committee from 2010-2017. McQuade
can discuss the Ukraine issue, whether Trump lawyer
Rudy Giuliani could be considered a co-conspirator in a
corruption case, and the difference between hard-ball

2. ==> Whistleblowers: Heroes or Villains?

The issue involving Trump and the Ukraine came to light
via a complaint from an intelligence-community whistle-
blower who remains unnamed. Whistleblowers face a
difficult choice: by challenging and exposing
corruption, they perform a vital public service—yet
they historically suffer for it. Invite Dr. Allison
Stanger, Ph.D., to discuss whistleblowing as an
important but unrecognized cousin of civil
disobedience. She says its goal—to prevent the abuse
of power by those who hold it— is rooted in the very
DNA of America, dating back to the country’s founding.
Stanger is a Middlebury College professor of
international politics & economics and a New America
cybersecurity fellow. She’s the author of
“Whistleblowers: Honesty in America from Washington to
Trump.” Contact Johanna Ramos Boyer at (703) 646-5137;

3. ==> Breaking News: The DC Swamp is Poised to Let Big
Tech Kill Diversity

Most Americans remain unaware of the current battle in
Washington, D.C., being waged by Big Tech and India.
Hilarie Gamm says a bill being introduced in the Senate
this week would eliminate diversity in American
employment-based immigration AND reward the very
country monopolizing immigration to the U.S. with the
majority of employment-based visas for the next decade
or more. Invite Gamm, a national authority on the topic
and founder of the grassroots nonpartisan American
Workers Coalition, to discuss how Bill S386 would make
it impossible for the best and the brightest from any
other country to legally immigrate to the U.S. for
employment. She’ll also explain why a Cuban is working
to shut out Latinos from emigrating to the U.S., and
whether President Trump will stick with his ‘Buy
American-Hire American’ credo or sign the bill into
law, if passed. A media favorite who recently appeared
on Coast to Coast and Breitbart News Tonight, Gamm is
the author of “Billions Lost: The American Tech Crisis
and The Road Map to Change.” . A respected tech
veteran, Hilarie co-founded AWC – American Workers
Coalition in 2019 with fellow moms to educate U.S.
legislators regarding the facts around U.S. STEM

issues into the 2020 election narrative. Contact her at

4.==> Saturday, Sept. 28th is National Ghost Hunting
Day!

What’s it like growing up in family homes surrounded by
ghosts and their stories? Interview Ivan Obolensky and
find out! Ivan’s rich personal history includes his
grandfather, Serge Obolensky – the famed “Prince of New
York”, and his grandmother Alice (of Astor fame) who
died holding an Egyptian book of the dead on her chest.
Convinced that people lived on after death, she proved
it by scaring off governesses and attracting a large
number of black cats that kept returning to her home on
61st Street in NYC even after extermination was tried.
The family home was eventually exorcised. Ivan’s
grandfather, Serge, had ghost stories of his own to
tell including one of a Captain recovering from TB in
the Crimea who appeared to Serge’s mother and butler at
the family’s country home many miles away and vanished
before their eyes. They later learned he had died and
that the visitor was his ghost. Ivan Obolensky is the
author” Eye of the Moon.” Contact him at (818)

5. ==> Black Cats? Broken Mirrors? Origins of
Superstition

Have you ever wondered why some hotels don’t have a
13th floor or why black cats are considered bad luck?
Or why we say “God bless you” when someone sneezes? And
how a broken mirror came to symbolize seven years of
bad times ahead? Or thought twice about opening an
umbrella in the house? All of these things are
superstitions, and they are powerful merely because we
believe them. Interview Wade Meadows who will share
some theories on why these superstitions have taken
root in popular culture and ways lives are sometimes
ruined because of them. Wade had the misfortune of
being born on a Friday the 13th to a mother who had
triskaidekaphobia, the name given to people who fear
the number 13. He spent many years being told that he
was cursed at birth but has managed to overcome that
false belief. He is the author of “Letters From the
Ashes” and “Ashes Forged Into Manhood.” Contact him at

Halloween parties are a great way to get creative with
costumes AND cocktails! Invite food and wine expert
Susy Shelby for a fun show where you’ll be serving up
creepy concoctions like the Rosemary’s Baby, the Dark
and Spooky, and the Pina Choulada. She’ll also share
simple advice for low-stress entertaining. “Most
importantly, choose foods and snacks that don’t need
utensils and can be prepared ahead of time. Then set up
food and beverage stations so guests can help
themselves throughout the party.” A winemaker for more

7. ==> Why America Needs a Robust African Foreign
Policy

Americans have sent millions of dollars to help people
in Africa over the decades, yet the conditions faced by
many there aren’t improving. According to UNICEF, by
2050, Africa will be home to 35% of all adolescents in
the world. A poorly educated, disenfranchised young
population is a perfect recruiting ground for those who
perpetrate evil in our world. Most of the nations of
Sub-Saharan Africa have very poor, or at best, subpar
healthcare systems. Eventually, this situation poses a
serious threat to all mankind. Is foreign aid really
the solution? Invite author, speaker, and neurosurgeon
Dr. Sylvanus Ayeni, to reveal some surprising plausible
solutions. As the president of Pan Africa Children
Advocacy Watch, Inc., he envisions the path forward for
these nations. His new book “Rescue Thyself: Change in
Sub-Saharan Africa Must Come from Within” reveals what
many in the West don’t understand about the root causes
of Sub-Saharan Africa’s plight and the necessary steps
to improve the situation. Contact Sylvanus Ayeni at

8. ==> Consumer Alert: What Insurance Companies Don’t
Want You to Know

Imagine if you could receive CASH for that life
insurance policy you or your parents don’t need
anymore! Did you know that 70 billion dollars of life
insurance policies go to waste annually? Simply because
consumers don’t know a little-known secret that, if you
qualify, you could receive up to 75% of your death
benefits in CASH! Interview David Kottler, the
Insurance Doctor ™, who will explain all that as well
as why the Transamerica COI Settlement is a big WIN for
insurance companies and a big LOSS for policy holders.
Listeners will learn what’s going on with the
settlement, what it means to the average policy holder
and what they can do to protect themselves from
insurance companies that are illegally raising their
mortality costs. David combines his legal and business
experience with a passion for philanthropy. His book is
“The Best Kept Money Secret in Your Insurance Policy.”

9. ==> Real Estate: Time to Sell? Buy?

In the world of real estate, there are sellers’ markets
and buyers’ markets. What kind of market is going on
right now and is it time to become a homeowner? To
upgrade? To downsize? “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. “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

10. ==> The Biggest Real Estate Investment Myth

A lot of people who go into the complex world of real
estate investing are convinced that they can get the
most bang for their buck by buying, renovating and then
selling properties, a process known as flipping. But
long-time real estate and property renovation expert
Dan Lieberman claims that this is not a recipe for
success.” You take on a lot of risk if housing prices
go down,” he says. “That’s why it’s a good idea to get
into the rental market. With rentals, you have ongoing
income, even in a bad real estate market.” Dan has many
years of experience successfully developing rental
properties. He can share the secrets to developing
rental properties, getting the best rent and attracting
the nicest tenants so that you have a great source of
ongoing income. He’s the author of “The Effective
Landlord: How Owners and Property Managers Can Attract

Line in Any Market.” Contact Dan at

11. ==> A Solution to Football’s Concussion Problem?

NFL, college and high school football are under attack.
All because of the high risk of concussions 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
Paul Wand, MD, PA, to hear about the “Wand 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. Dr. Paul Wand has been a
medical doctor for 35 years specializing in the field
of Neurology and is the author of “The Concussion Cure:

12. ==> Celebrate the 1960s Revolution That Changed the
World

This summer’s 50th anniversary of Woodstock brought the
1960s back into focus again: the music, the drugs, the
innocence and hope for a more peaceful world. It is a
world that Susan Shumsky lived in as one of the
pioneers of the spiritual revolution that changed the
world and one that Susan says continues. As a witness
to history, Susan can talk about being near the stage
during the Rolling Stones concert at Altamont 50 years
ago, being at the be-ins and love-ins during the Summer
of Love in San Francisco in 1967 that introduced the
word psychedelic to suburbia and the 22 years she spent
living in the ashrams of the Beatles’ guru, and six
years on his personal staff. She is the award-winning

13. ==> Whatever Happened to the Hare Krishnas?

If you are a certain age, you may recall the incense-
wafting, tambourine-shaking, donation-seeking, shaven-
headed Hare Krishna followers who used to congregate at
airports and other high-traffic spots. If you do, you
may be surprised to find out what they have been up to
these many decades later; for example, did you know
that Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard is
a Hare Krishna? Whether his appearance on your program
is a blast from your past or something entirely new,
Sankarshan Das can offer a primer about who the Hare
Krishnas are today, what they believe, and insights
into what it has been like to live a monastic life and
be a leader in the movement. Sankarshan Das is also a
musician and his mission is promoting peace and
kindness. He’s the author of the upcoming book “A

14. ==> ‘Go Purple’ in October to End Domestic Violence

Domestic violence doesn’t just affect victims and their
families. According to domestic violence awareness
advocate Curt Lindsley, “It tears at the very fabric of
entire communities. It can impact a company’s bottom
line due to lost productivity, can cause long-term
health problems in victims, can spill over to schools
and workplaces, and involve innumerable police man
hours.” Curt is the founder of the nonprofit domestic
violence awareness group Go Purple USA, sponsor of Go
Purple Awareness Day (Oct. 1), and the co-founder of
the Covington Domestic Violence Task Force. He’ll share
ways everyone can help and support the cause by
sponsoring awareness events such as Go Purple Day,
Purple Light Nights, educational programs and advocacy
outreach to help shine a light on the issue. Contact

15. ==> 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 to
raise their value in the eyes of everyone around them.

17. ==> 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 “The True Story of a
Husband, A Best Friend and Care Giver: The Struggle
Within,” and will reveal how he and his wife made it
through this traumatic experience healthier and happier
than ever. Contact Anthony at ARandle@rtirguests.com;

18. ==> How to Start a ‘Gentleman’s Club’ for Dad-less
Boys

As the divorced father of two sons, Pastor Eric
Hawthorne knows the struggles that young boys who grow
up without dads face. “A lot of boys don’t know how to
become men due to that lack of role models. We need
programs through which men can help them to learn
manhood. It will impact society for the long haul and
keep boys out of trouble.” The program the Gentleman’s
Club launched by South Carolina elementary school
teacher Raymond Nelson is one great example. Such
programs help to install boys with confidence, self-
respect and respect for others. Pastor Eric can share
how to mentor young fatherless boys to help them to
become great men. He is the second-generation pastor of

Love food but hate your weight? Find inspiration from a
woman who persevered through 19 years of negative body
image and diet setbacks, but kept her sense of humor
and came out on top. Mary Prenon, author of “I’m Lazy
and I Love to Eat,” finally discovered that laughter
really is the best medicine for everything – including
losing 50 pounds. After struggling with weight issues
for almost 20 years, Mary began writing about her
problems as well as really funny events – like joining
a “diet center” sandwiched in between a pastry shop and
fast food restaurant! When her cardiologist told her
she was “heavy,” she jokingly plotted to kidnap him and
stuff him with junk food! Instead of being sad and
depressed, Mary learned to laugh at herself, turn a bad
mood into something positive, and get motivated. Hear
how she used humor to transform workouts, make
healthier food choices and get in shape – at age 61!
Mary works full-time and is all about quick and easy
fitness tips and meal preps. She’s been featured on

1.==> Worldwide Climate Strike Tomorrow: Grown-Ups Get Involved!

What’s all this talk about a world-wide climate strike
set for Friday and who is Greta Thunberg? Invite Bill
McGibbon to explain what the climate strike is, how it
started with a young girl in Sweden and grew to include
students worldwide, and why adults now need to join in.
So what is going on, and where? Bill says, “The
location is absolutely everywhere! Big trade unions in
South Africa and Germany are telling workers to take
the day off. Ben and Jerry’s is closing down its
headquarters, and if you want to buy Lush cosmetics,
you’re going to be out of luck.” Bill says the largest
rally will likely be in New York City, where the U.N.
General Assembly is debating climate change—but there
will be gatherings in every state and every country.

2. ==> How the Burning Rainforest is Killing the Entire
Planet

As the world watches in horror as Brazil’s Amazon
Rainforest burns at an unprecedented rate, it’s a lot
graver than most people realize. “The Amazon is the
planet’s lungs, producing 20 percent of the oxygen in
the earth’s atmosphere,” says environmental engineer
and author Yasmin Davar. “The fires have immediate
impacts on the destruction of habitat for animals,
indigenous people’s homes and the amount of greenhouse
gases produced, which contributes to a global
temperature rise. This in turn leads to extreme weather
events like droughts. Brazilian president Jair
Bolsonaro, whose policies have led to this disaster, is
operating under the outdated beliefs that the earth is
separate to us and exists for us to destroy as we
please, and that the only way to thrive economically is
to exploit the environment.” Yasmin holds a Master of
International Studies in Peace and Conflict Resolution
and is the author of “Our Peaceful Planet: Healing
Ourselves and the World for a Sustainable Future.”

3. ==> Behind the Disturbing Sandy Hook PSA

A chilling new PSA depicts kids showing off their new
‘back to school’ gear while a mass shooting suddenly
erupts around them and—be warned—it’s a tough watch.
It’s part of Sandy Hook Promise’s “Know the Signs”
campaign that aims to warn students, teachers, and
parents about the signs that someone is planning a
shooting. “Our goal with this PSA is to wake up parents
to the horrible reality that our children endure. Gone
are the days of viewing back-to-school as just a
carefree time, when school violence has become so
prevalent. However, if we come together to know the
signs, this doesn’t have to be the case,” says Nicole
Hockley, co-founder and managing director of Sandy Hook
Promise and mother of Dylan who was killed in the Sandy
Hook School shooting. Sandy Hook Promise (SHP) is a
national nonprofit organization based in Newtown,
Connecticut. SHP is led by several family members whose
loved ones were killed in the tragic mass shooting at
Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14,
2012.?Contact Stephanie Morris at stephanie@dvmcpr.com;

4. ==> Pelosi, Big Pharma and Medicine for All

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is reportedly readying a
plan to address the skyrocketing cost of pharmaceutical
drugs. Pelosi has said she believes the way to address
health care issues is to improve Obamacare, but Dana
Brown disagrees. “If all we needed were patches to the
current market-based drug system, the steps that
Speaker Pelosi and House Democratic leaders have
proposed would be welcome additions to the debate, but
the reality is the system is so broken we have to move
beyond patches to a more fundamental transformation.”
Brown is director of The Next System Project at The
Democracy Collaborative and author of a new study,
“Medicine for All” which advocates a public alternative
to Big Pharma. She says, “The case for a public option
is simple…publicly owned pharmaceuticals are free of
the structural need to appease profit-hungry
shareholders and are thus able to focus on public
health priorities.” Brown co-wrote the just-published
piece “The Case for a Public Option for the Drug
Industry” in The New Republic. Contact her at

5. ==> EMMYs Honor the Best in TV News & Documentaries

The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences
(NATAS) will honor TV news and documentary makers on
September 24th at the Daytime EMMYs in New York. Invite
NATAS president Adam Sharp to discuss this year’s
nominees, NBC News’ chief foreign affairs correspondent
Andrea Mitchell’s Lifetime Achievement Award, and why
this year in particular it’s important to acknowledge
the important role of journalism in society. “The
clear, transparent, and factual reporting provided by
these journalists and documentarians is paramount to
keeping our nation and its citizens informed,” says
Sharp. “Even while under attack, truth and the hard-
fought pursuit of it must remain cherished, honored,
and defended.” Adam Sharp is a noted expert on digital
communications and marketing, political affairs and
strategy, and issues related to “fake news” and
misinformation. Interestingly, when he was hired by
Twitter 20 years ago, his job was to advise
journalists, news organizations, candidates and
government officials. The goal was to one day have the
President of the United States speaking directly to the
people through Twitter. Contact Harlan Boll at

6.==> These Moms Fight for American Jobs

Hilarie Gamm is one of three moms who founded the
grassroots nonpartisan American Workers Coalition. She
can tell your audience how AWC has been successfully
taking on deep-pocketed foreign lobbyists,
billionaires, and special interest groups to help
ensure that educated, middle-class Americans stop
losing job opportunities to cheap foreign workers with
fewer credentials. A media favorite who recently
appeared on Coast to Coast and Breitbart News Tonight,
Gamm can talk about why there is no shortage of
homegrown highly skilled, educated and qualified
workers, the D.C. rules which put American college
grads at the end of the line for jobs at America’s
biggest employers, what Silicon Valley tells the media
to hide this closed-door career manipulation, and
simple ways for everyday Americans to end the job-
stealing wreaking havoc on American families. Gamm is
the author of “Billions Lost: The American Tech Crisis
and The Road Map to Change.” A respected tech veteran,

7. ==> Incompetent, Reckless, Smug — Does That Spell
the IRS?

It’s one thing to hate and even fear the powerful
entity that takes a sizable chunk of your hard-earned
money. But according to tax expert Richard Green — who
used to be one of the Internal Revenue Service’s own —
it’s the abuses and pompous approach of the IRS that
should get you really angry. Find out more from this
former agent, who contends that we should be talking
about (and opposing!) the recklessness of the IRS year-
round. As your guest, Green will explore: disparaging
reports and Congressional investigations on the IRS we
hear about every month … whether most audits are UNFAIR
to taxpayers … stark realities about the slow-moving
IRS staff and antiquated technology causing chaos and
wastefulness nationwide … why it’s only getting worse,
and what you can do. Only someone like Green, who’s
seen it firsthand, can blow the whistle on the IRS
mess! Richard Green has authored “Agents of Deceit.”

8. ==> Former Prof. Shares Shocking Truths about
College

During the 11 years Glen Dunzweiler spent as a college
professor, he learned some profound truths. To his
astonishment, he discovered that many students had no
idea what they would do with their degrees or how they
would pay off their student debt. They were going to
school merely because people told them they needed to
and because universities are highly skilled at
marketing themselves. Glen is making it his mission to
ensure that parents have important conversations with
their children, well before the first college tour.
He’ll reveal what that conversation should sound like
as well as the paradoxical, self-serving way
universities use tuition money to preserve their
business interests to the detriment of students. He can
answer such questions as what should be taught in every
class that isn’t and should parents refuse to allow
their children to take certain majors. Glen is a former
college professor, a documentarian and the author of
two books. His latest is “A Degree in Homelessness?
Entrepreneurial Skills for Students.” Contact Glen at

9. ==> Six-Word System to Build Your Network (FAST!)

Did you know there was one word that both George W.
Bush and Bill Clinton used that was key to being
elected President of the United States? Tom and Lindy
Schneider say it’s hard to learn, but easy to use and
they’ll tell you how. They’ll also share two words that
are most effective when least expected (and led to
Lindy going from fired to hired in 24 hours and being
featured on national TV), AND the three words that
Warren Buffet requires anyone he mentors to know. The
Schneiders says these six words, when used together,
will give you a system to accelerate your connections
with others, both personally and professionally. Tom
and Lindy uncovered this six-word system when
interviewing hundreds of successful business people and
entrepreneurs for their book “College Secrets of Highly
Successful People.” Tom and Lindy Schneider are
speakers and authors who have been featured on ABC,
CBS, NBC, Fox, the CW and Inside Edition. Contact Lindy

10. ==> Why People Tune You Out (and What to Do About
It)

When you talk, do others really pay attention?
Probably not, warns communication expert Paul Hellman.
Whether you’re presenting to a large audience, meeting
one-on-one, talking on the phone, or even sending an
email, people’s attention spans have almost vanished.
So you’ve got to engage others fast, before they tune
you out … maybe forever. Hellman will reveal specific
tactics to get heard in a noisy world, with deft
examples from the news and from clients he has worked
with. Hellman’s columns and advice have appeared in the
New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNBC.com and on
public radio’s Marketplace and CNN’s Business Unusual.

11. ==> How Embarrassing! Wardrobe Malfunctions at Work

When a celebrity has a wardrobe malfunction it makes
headlines. When one happens to ordinary people it won’t
make the news but that doesn’t mean it won’t impact
their career. Bring Wall Street executive, business
consultant and career coach Tamara Lashchyk (Lash-
check) on your show to talk about her own wardrobe
malfunction as well as how to handle the split skirts,
popped buttons, broken heals and other accidents that

12. ==> Beach Boys Bodyguard Tells All

Much has been documented about Beach Boy Brian Wilson’s
struggles with drugs, his bandmate brothers, and cousin
Mike Love. But for the first time, Brian’s former
bodyguard/caretaker Rushton “Rocky” Pamplin tells his
riveting behind-the-scenes story. Rocky is a former NFL
player who was college roommates and best friends with
Stan Love, a former LA Laker and brother of Mike Love.
In the mid-1970s, they were enlisted as life savers for
Brian, who was on a death spiral. After years of
silence, Rocky wrote the book “The Beach Boys Endless
Wave: Inside America’s Band” with co-author Ron Hamady,
a veteran of the music and film industries. “Rocky went
where no one had ever been,” Ron says. “It was a
monumental time for the band. There have been plenty of
Beach Boys books; but, no one has ever been behind the
scenes.” Contact Mike Vezo at mvezo@rtirguests.com;

13. ==> Are You Tech Challenged? Host an ‘Appy Hour!’

Technology has changed so rapidly and infiltrated so
much of our daily lives that many people feel
overwhelmed and confused by it all, especially older
folks. So acclaimed product design expert Lorraine
Justice suggests hosting an “appy hour” party, during
which people can teach each other how to use tech
products and services. “A lot of people are intimidated
by technology, and technology has caused people to
become more alienated,” she says. “Friends and family
members can bring their phones to these gatherings and
share their knowledge. It also brings younger and older
people together.” Lorraine will share tips for hosting
gatherings, and reveal fascinating new tech products
coming onto the market in the future. A TED presenter
and international keynote speaker, she’s the author of
“The Future of Design, Global Product Innovation in a
Complex World.” Contact Lorraine at
ljustice@rtirguests.com; (585) 206-8823.

14. ==> Is Food One of Our Best Weapons Against Cancer?

We don’t typically think of food as medicine, but
according to physician Ed Dodge, food is enormously
important as one of our best available weapons against
cancer as well as other chronic diseases such as type 2
diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Invite Dr. Dodge
to tell your audience why certain nutrient-rich,
cancer-fighting foods are so underutilized and how to
start easily working them into your diet. His latest
book is “Family: A Family Doc’s Memoir of Life in
Africa and the US.” Ask him: Which foods are the best
cancer-fighting weapons? What evidence is there that
these foods are effective? Are there foods that should
be avoided because they help cancer grow? Contact Ed
Dodge at (484) 259-9887 (TX); edodge@rtirguests.com

15. ==> Revolutionary Way to Reverse Memory Loss

If you’re worried your short-term memory loss—those
moments when you just can’t remember a word, a name or
where you parked the car—are just the start of a
downhill slide, you’ll want to hear some encouraging
news from Julie Renee Doering. The brain rejuvenation
expert says memory loss can easily be reversed, even in
early stage dementia. She’ll discuss a ground-breaking
approach to cell regrowth and share the remarkable
results of a recent brain study that show the quantum
energy approach can dramatically improve not only
memory, but also mental outlook and sleep. It also
shows promise in reducing headaches and helping people
with speech difficulties. The brain rejuvenation work
Julie Renee is doing is just the tip of the iceberg in
her revolutionary Quantum Activation Academy. Doering,
who will soon be seen regularly on the long-running PBS
series Creative Living, embarked on her search for
answers after suffering several brain injuries, major
accidents and chronic illnesses in her earlier life.
The author of 12 books including “The Divine Human
Blueprint,” she currently offers more than 150
trainings and 180 transformative meditations. Contact
her at (415) 385 6394; in8@JulieRenee.com

16. ==> Healing Emotional Pain in the #MeToo Era

The #MeToo movement has unearthed all kinds of painful
memories of sexual abuse, but what are the victims to
do once they’re faced with such raw and difficult
emotion again? Invite author, speaker, and personal
transformation expert Arnoux Goran to reveal how to
help victims fully and permanently recover from sexual
abuse, even if it happened for many years or through
many generations in their family. Goran has developed a
method to reprogram yourself that was studied by the
University of California, Irvine, and proven to be 100%
effective. His new book is “The Answer: How to Change
Your Life and Make Your Dreams Come True.” Ask him: Is
it really possible to escape the emotional scars of
sexual abuse? What are some of your most dramatic
stories of helping victims heal? Contact Arnoux Goran
at (878) 203-8231 (CA); AGoran@rtirguests.com

17. ==> From Living in the Worst Housing Project to a
Life of Accomplishment

No one expected much from Christopher L. Hall. After
all, his mother was an alcoholic, his father was in
jail, he lived in one of the worst housing projects in
Los Angeles and he was a runaway who stole a
motorcycle. But Hall defied the odds. Invite him on air
to discuss what happened when he was 14 that set him on
the path to dental school, medical school, and the
military. Today he is an ER doctor in Mississippi even
as one of his brothers sits in federal prison serving
the equivalent of a life sentence. Now a role model and
leader, Hall can inspire other young people to realize
that it isn’t where you start in life that matters,
it’s where you end up. Contact him at (251) 207-7527;

18. ==> Are You Guilty of Stereotyping?

Making assumptions about other people is something all
of us do—oftentimes, unconsciously. But when we assume
that people are specific things because they, for
example, drive a certain type of car or work at
Walmart, wear nose rings and sport tattoos, are elderly
or have a different religion than we do it’s easy to
marginalize them and view them as “the other.” Invite
Wade Meadows on your show for a wake-up call about
taking the time to see other people for who they really
are, not who we mistake them to be. Wade says it’s time
we started hanging out with people who are different
than us, talking to them, breaking bread with them and
learning from them. He can also talk about the impact
the words we use with our children will have on their
identities and how they will treat those they encounter
throughout life. Having endured an abusive childhood at
the hands of a mother who told him he was ugly and
worthless, Wade has grown into an unusually empathetic
man who is out to change the world. Wade may even have
your audience members rethinking their own identities.
He is the author of “Letters from the Ashes” and “Ashes
Forged into Manhood.” Contact him at (225) 224-8697;

19. ==> Here’s a Scientific Formula for a Success in
Life

While science and religion have long been considered
mutually exclusive, David L. Peters credits both for
his good fortune in his life. At 84, he has achieved
great prominence in his career as an engineer, holds 18
patents, raised seven great kids and has enjoyed a
loving marriage of 57 years. In addition, he has just
become a first-time author of a well-received book that
reveals the secrets to success and happiness. “My faith
comes through science, as I firmly believe that quantum
physics has proven the existence of a power or force
beyond all,” he says. David has accomplished this by
applying the 12 Steps of Alcoholic Anonymous to his
daily life, which he says can help anyone, even if they
never touched liquor or drugs. He can share simple but
powerful ways how others can, too. David L. Peters is
the author of “The 12 Steps to Joy and Happiness:
Finding the Kingdom of God that Lies Within.” Contact

1.==> Beyond the Wall: Corporate Profiteering from Immigration

For a different perspective on the issue of immigration interview Todd Miller, author of the just-released report “More than a Wall: Corporate Profiteering and the Militarization of U.S. Borders” from the Transnational Institute. He says, “When Donald Trump took office in 2017, at his disposal was the most massive border and immigration apparatus in United States history, built on turbocharge for 25 years, particularly over the three previous administrations. There were already 650 miles of walls and barriers, nearly 21,000 Border Patrol agents, more than 250 immigration detention prisons, and billions of dollars of deployed surveillance technology.” He adds, “It is true that Trump has ratcheted up and consolidated this apparatus — he’s taken it to its limits in every way imaginable, including its limits of cruelty — at the same time all his tools were already in place.” Miller will explain how the system is much bigger than any president: a complex of complicit administrations, politicians and policy makers of all stripes, and a surge of influential corporations ready to cash in with contracts. Miller has written on border and immigration issues for more than 15 years and resides in Tucson, Arizona. His most recent book is “Empire of Borders: The Expansion of the U.S. Border Around the World.” Contact him at toddmemomiller@gmail.com; @memomiller

2. ==> Congress is Back: Will they Give a Damn and Be Accountable?

Congress is back in session, but will they get anything done? Leadership expert Mark Lewis doubts it. “The reason Congress can’t get anything done is because of the label on each one of their backs. I frequently ask people what political party they’re affiliated with and no one wants to answer the question because they’re immediately labeled and put in a box. Any thinking outside of that box is ostracized; if a Democrat or a Republican even thinks about crossing the line and agreeing with a concept by the other side they’re viewed as a traitor.” Lewis has created a grass roots campaign and the American Accountability Pledge based on the premise of serving others, being kind, and showing gratitude. He says his goal is to get every member of Congress to sign-on, though currently, he’s finding it difficult to get any commitments. Mark Lewis is a business consultant, corporate growth expert and president of Communique LLC. He’s the author of “Give a Damn: The Ticket to Cultural Change.” Contact him at (504) 905-4646; mlewis@communiquellc.com or mlewis@giveadamnbook.com

3. ==> News & Doc EMMYs – NATAS President Adam Sharp

It’s TV award season. The prime-time EMMY Awards will be handed out Sunday in LA, but the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) will also honor TV news and documentary makers in New York next week including Andrea Mitchell, NBC News’ chief foreign affairs correspondent, who’ll receive a Lifetime Achievement Award for her 50-years covering domestic and international affairs. Invite NATAS president Adam Sharp to discuss the Daytime, News and Documentary EMMY nominees and why this year in particular, it’s important to honor the profession. “The clear, transparent, and factual reporting provided by these journalists and documentarians is paramount to keeping our nation and its citizens informed,” says Sharp. “Even while under attack, truth and the hard-fought pursuit of it must remain cherished, honored, and defended.” Adam Sharp is a noted expert on digital communications and marketing, political affairs and strategy, and issues related to “fake news” and misinformation. Interestingly, when he was hired by Twitter 20 years ago, his job was to advise journalists, news organizations, candidates and government officials. The goal was to one day have the President of the United States speaking directly to the people through Twitter. Contact Harlan Boll at h.boll@dcpublicity.com; (626) 296-3757.

4.==> Real Life Haunted House – Inside a Serial Killer’s Home

Fox Hollow Farm is the infamous Indiana property where Herb Baumeister is believed to have murdered at least eleven men. Invite the farm’s current owner Robert Graves and paranormal expert Richard Estep to discuss the case and explore the paranormal encounters that continue to this day. They’ll delve into the psyche of the suspected murderer and the terrifying supernatural activity that lingers, including chilling supernatural evidence, from EVPs and psychic confirmations to first-hand accounts of the disembodied hands and voices that regularly manifest on the estate. Since learning of his farm’s past, Robert Graves has devoted himself to understanding the tragic events that took place there. Richard Estep co-founded Boulder County Paranormal Research Society. Together they’ve written The Horrors of Fox Hollow Farm. Contact Kat Sanborn at (651) 312-8452; KatS@Llewellyn.com

5. ==> Don’t Blame the Booze! Drinking and Your Personality

According to a new study in Clinical Psychological Science, alcohol consumption may have less effect on personality than people commonly believe. Researchers found that people typically report a personality change between their sober and drunken state, yet observers watching from the outside notice less of a change, with the only exception being increased extraversion among drinkers. The idea that people’s personality alters when intoxicated is a popular one, but scientific evidence for this change is lacking and the science behind the concept of a “drunk personality” is unclear. Invite clinical psychologist John Huber, Ph.D., to discuss how alcohol might typically affect someone’s personality, whether belligerent drunks are actually mean and nasty, and how an alcohol-induced proclamation of love should be viewed. Dr. John Huber is the chairman for the non-profit Mainstream Mental Health. He’s appeared on over three hundred top tier radio shows and thirty national television programs. He’s also the host of Mainstream Mental Health Radio, heard nationwide featuring interviews with top mental health professionals. Contact Ryan McCormick at (516) 901-1103; (919) 377-1200.

6. ==> Why Next Year Could be the NFL’s Most Dangerous

The National Football League has been celebrating its 100-year run by looking back at its heyday. According to Nita Wiggins, who covered the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas for a decade, the NFL’s future glory is anything but assured. “We are facing a year of reckoning,” says Wiggins, who interviewed Hall of Fame players up-close and personal in their homes and who understands why up-and-coming stars are retiring–stars such as Andrew Luck. And, while players wrestle for control over their social media imaging and activism, the current labor contract is approaching its end after the 2020 season. Wiggins is a former boxing coach and judge and television reporter who now teaches journalism in Paris, France. She is the author of “Civil Rights Baby: My Story of Race, Sports, and Breaking Barriers in American Journalism.” Contact her at NWiggins@rtirguests.com

7. ==> China’s Hidden Danger to the U.S. Economy

One of the biggest threats the Chinese pose to the U.S. economy is through energy production. As Pat Cunnane will explain, while U.S. energy production has been hovering at 4 trillion kilowatts for years, the Chinese have been building energy ahead of demand and in five years could hit 10 trillion kilowatts. This is significant, he says, because energy is money. He can talk about what the U.S. can do to solve the climate change problem while having unlimited carbon-free energy and continuing to boast super wealth. Ask him: Can you explain why you believe your patented hydropower process will be a game-changer for the U.S. economy? How can we solve the U.S.-Chinese trade deficit problem? Cunnane is the author of “The Physics to Economics Model.” An experienced talk show guest, he has been a corporate asset manager for more than 30 years and recently presented on the Chinese energy topic at Kent State University. Contact him at (440) 666-5871; thephysicstoeconomicscorp@gmail.com

8. ==> Why People Are Dreaming about Donald Trump

On any given day, we are hearing about political controversies, big rallies (often with protesters!), White House staff news, campaign coverage and even Twitter outbursts that keep President Donald Trump in our minds. No wonder we’re awoken by dreams (nightmares??) of this polarizing leader and his presidency! Explore this epidemic of Trump-driven dreams when you interview Layne Dalfen — a sought- after dream analyst who will explain why Trump is someone who intrigues even our subconscious. Is this healthy? Are there lessons to be learned? Might this help Mr. Trump win (or lose) the 2020 election? Could other candidates literally capture our imaginations this way? What do callers’ Trump dreams mean? Arrange interviews with Layne at info@haveagreatdream.com

9. ==> Compulsive Habits, What’s Yours?

Whether you admit it or not, Michael McGee, M.D., believes you probably have an addiction or compulsive habit that controls your behavior and your choices. One out of three people is overtly addicted to something – like alcohol or drugs. But did you know that virtually two out of three people are covertly addicted to something – and they may not even realize it? Subtle behaviors like gossiping, judging others, people pleasing, shopping and working can all be compulsive. Interview Dr. McGee about the science of habit and his “Good now, Bad later” philosophy to help your audience figure out their own compulsive habits and what to do about them! Dr. Michael McGee trained at Stanford and Harvard Medical Schools. The author of “The Joy of Recovery: The New 12 Step Guide to Recovery from Addiction” has helped hundreds of patients beat addiction. Contact him at (978) 971-9703; MMcGee@rtirguests.com

10. ==> Are You a Stressed Mess? This M.D. Has the Cure

Stress really can kill you. According to Steven M. Hall, M.D., “Fifty percent of the U.S. population is experiencing one or more stress-related diseases. What society is doing to mitigate the adverse health effects of stress isn’t working.” Dr. Steven has discovered a solution to enable us to become impervious to the stressors in our lives. And it does not involve repressing any emotions; quite the opposite. His online class Taming the Bear: Taking the Bite Out of Stress is having phenomenal success in people’s lives, and he can share how to get off of the vicious stress cycle for good. Dr. Steven 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.” Contact Steven at shall@rtirguests.com; (425) 531-3684.

11. ==> What You Need to Know About Medical Bullying

Medical professionals are supposed to save lives not ruin them. But according to Sharon Bahrych (pronounced Bear-rich), a 30-year-career physician assistant, medicine has a dirty little secret: bullying is commonplace and counterproductive to patient safety. Nurses bully other nurses, physician assistants, and medical residents are bullied by their attending physicians, and people in the profession are strongly advised to put up with physical assaults, verbal abuse, intimidation and more. Whistleblowing gets people fired. Sharon, who plans a TEDx talk on the subject, can share some of the incidents of bullying that have happened to her. She can also discuss ways the medical culture is slowly changing for the better and five things that can be done to accelerate that process. Sharon is a physician’s assistant who trained at Baylor College of Medicine. She has a master’s in public health from the University of Texas School of Public Health. Contact her at (720) 669-8098; SBahrych@rtirguests.com

12. ==> This M.D. Can Cure Opioid Addiction without Drugs

As the opioid crisis has reached epidemic proportions, health professionals primarily rely on drugs such as methadone to cure addiction. But Dr. Isaac Alexis says that there are other, natural ways to overcome addiction, which focus on the whole person. “It’s not just about treating addicts,” he says. “It’s about treating their environments and families.” He can also share natural and over-the-counter remedies that can expedite the healing process. Dr. Isaac completed an internship in trauma surgery at Cornell University at New York Hospital of Queens. He served as medical director at the Department of Justice as well as director of infection control and chair of the quality improvement medical committee. He is the author of “Life and Death behind the Brick and Razor-Code Red Diamond” and the upcoming “The Seductive Pink Crystal.” Contact Isaac at IAlexis@rtirguests.com; (315) 935-6348.

13. ==> Revelations of an Undertaker’s Daughter

Most people don’t like to talk or even think about death. But while growing up in a Midwestern funeral home where her dad was an undertaker, Margo Lenmark learned a lot about life from dead people. “I can share fascinating experiences of growing up around death and dead people, and the messages I received from them,” she says. “I have a lot to say about death and gifts people give when they die.” Margo can reveal her journeys to the other side, experiences she had in dreams and the important messages she received about life from the deceased. She is the author of “Light in the Mourning: Memoirs of an Undertaker’s Daughter,” which has received glowing reviews from a number of prominent authors and spiritual leaders including Deepak Chopra. Contact Margo at MLenmark@rtirguests.com; 484-928-7824.

14. ==> Trash or Treasure? Avoid Flea Market Rip Offs

It’s flea market season and while finding treasures amid the trash can feel exhilarating, too many times people wind up hauling home fakes and frauds instead of true flea market gold! Invite Patty Penke to share tips to help treasure hunters spot a good value and negotiate the best deal. You’ll learn what to avoid completely, how to check a piece’s value while shopping and when to talk away from a deal. And like in most things, she says, “A good rule of thumb for flea market treasure hunters: If the price is too good to be true – It is!” Patty Penke is CEO of Assisting Hands Estate Sales Services Inc. and the author of “Stop Throwing Cash in the Trash: Your Guidebook to Finding Hidden Treasures and Transforming Them into Huge Profits.” Contact her at (402) 592-8806; penkepatty@hotmail.com

15. ==> How to Dump Your Negative Parents, Friends and Family

We all have them – those parents, friends and relations who do nothing but criticize, complain about anything and everything and make us feel small and undeserving. Well, it’s time to call them out on their negativity, start a dialog and if that doesn’t work, take a break or walk away from that relationship. Annie Evans believes that if you don’t deal with them, there’s a really good chance you’ll turn out just like them. Evans personally knows how negativity breeds negativity. Combined with some serious life challenges, she went on her own downward spiral. Being raised by a severely mentally-ill mom and losing two life partners is just the tip of the iceberg. Evans will share her startling story, and help listeners learn real strategies to change their mindsets, interactions and take charge of their attitudes. Contact her at aevans@rtirguests.com or (310) 621-0456.

16. ==> Why Kids Should Make Up their Own Homework… and Other Ways 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,” foreword by Jack Canfield, and while he speaks primarily to educators his message to parents is essential. Lee has been an educator and administrator both in public schools and universities. Contact him at (484) 306-8784; LJenkins@rtirguests.com

17. ==> This Guest Helps Make Sense of the World’s Craziness

Many of us are on edge waiting for the next shoe to drop as the world continues to make less sense and seem so random. But could it be that human behavior’s apparent new low could be just what we need to reach a new high? Sankarshan Das believes this is so. This Hare Krishna guru will tell your audience that the time is right for abandoning the erroneous principles that lead us to believe we exist only to feed our bellies and our material and sexual selves. He’ll talk about the real purpose of our lives, how to live anxiety-free and the role karma plays in such tragic events as mass shootings. Sankarshan Das circles the world twice a year singing and speaking in promotion of global peace and spiritual perfection. He’s the author of the upcoming book “A Hippie Becomes a Happy.” Contact him at (512) 835-8400; sda@backtohome.com

18. ==> 5 Tips for Busy Moms to Go from Exhausted to Exhilarated

The balancing act of being a working mother and wife can be overwhelming. Most women are just in survival mode trying to put everyone before themselves. As a result, they let go of their unfulfilled dreams and give up. “Taking care of yourself first is not selfish,” declares multi-published children’s author, immigrant, and mother of three Rosie J. Pova, who struggled with trying to balance being a mom, wife, and dreamer. Invite her to share the lessons she learned along the way to help other women stop sacrificing and start caring for themselves as well as the rest of the family. She is the author of several children’s books including her latest, “Sarah’s Song.” Contact Rosie J. Pova at (214) 225-0856 (TX); RPova@rtirguests.com

19. ==> Raise Emotionally Healthy Kids – Without Driving Yourself Crazy

News alert! Children are not small adults. They don’t think or act like adults. They’re not supposed to. So, as parents, don’t drive yourself bonkers trying to make that happen. Rather, as parents responsible for guiding youth towards becoming adults, let’s first help them become happy, responsible, and emotionally healthy children (especially as the new school year begins). So says Paul Bernabei, author of “Top 20 Parents” and four other books on human development. Interview Paul to discover practical and essential strategies for managing the challenges of the parenting journey.

1.==> With Bolton Out: What Now?

John Bolton is the latest casualty of the Trump
Administration. The National Security Advisor was
booted from the position this week and Jim Lobe, a
foreign policy journalist says, “This is a body blow to
the Jacksonians in the administration and Congress who,
like Dick Cheney under George W. Bush, pushed hard for
the aggressive and punishing use of military power as a
means of intimidating all potential rivals or other
states perceived as hostile or antagonistic to the
United States (or Israel) and who believed that
multilateral institutions, like the UN, the European
Union, and even international treaties signed by the
U.S., too often constrain Washington’s power to shape
the world to its liking.” He adds, “Of course, Bolton’s
departure will naturally increase the influence of
Pompeo, a Christian Zionist whose views on Middle East
policy, in particular, are very close to hardline
neoconservatives.” Jim Lobe served for some 30 years as
the Washington, D.C. bureau chief for Inter Press
Service and is best known for his coverage of U.S.
foreign policy and the influence of the neoconservative
movement. He is the founder of LobeLog, which features
investigative pieces on foreign policy. Contact him at

2. ==> Democratic Debate #3

The 10 leading Democratic presidential candidates take
to the stage tonight for the party’s third 2020
presidential primary debate. Communication expert Paul
Hellman will discuss how the candidates did—both their
content and their presence— who took advantage of the
opening seconds, who was especially nimble on their
feet, and ultimately, who stood out. And he can share
insights about how anyone, even if not running for
president, can present themselves more effectively.
Paul Hellman consults and speaks internationally on how
to make your point—so you get heard, get remembered and
get results. His columns and advice have appeared in
the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNBC.com and
on public radio’s Marketplace and CNN’s Business
Unusual. He is the author of “You’ve Got 8 Seconds:
Communication Secrets for a Distracted World,” an
Amazon best seller. Contact him at (508) 276-7013;
phellman@rtirguests.com

3. ==> Who Says You’re Dead?

Who should get custody of an embryo created through IVF
when a couple divorces? Should an alcoholic in poor
health be forced to go to rehab? Can a pediatrician
refuse to see non-vaccinated clients? Or, when you or a
loved one is on life support, who says you’re dead?
Attending psychiatrist at Mount Sinai and celebrated
bioethicist Dr. Jacob M. Appel will consider these
bioethical questions with your audience when he asks
them to play doctor and decide what they would do if
confronted with the dilemma. He’ll then reveal what
decisions were actually made in the real-life cases on
which the scenarios are based. Dr. Appel’s new book is
“Who Says You’re Dead? Medical & Ethical Dilemmas for
the Curious & Concerned.” Contact Johanna Ramos Boyer

4.==> New Study: Naps Reduce Strokes and Heart Attacks

Napping once or twice per week appears to lower the
risk of strokes as well as heart attacks and failures
according to a study involving 3,462 people living in
the Swiss city of Lausanne. Researchers found that
subjects appeared to reap the benefits no matter how
long they napped—but that napping more than once or
twice a week didn’t seem to provide any extra benefits
in terms of heart health. Invite brain injury expert
and author Susana Stoica, Ph.D., to discuss the study,
the importance of sleep on the brain, and whether naps
could actually help prevent a stroke. Susan Stoica was
trained as an engineer and holds a Ph.D. in computer
engineering. She was born with the gift of being able
to detect irregularities/stresses in the human energy
field and has a special ability to work with brain
trauma. “Heal Your Brain, Reclaim Your Life” is based
on her experience as a healer working for over 30 years
with brain injured people, and her own experience with
TBI. Contact Ryan McCormick at (516) 901-1103; (919)

5. ==> Disney Voice-Over Artist Sees Dead People

Your listeners will recognize Jarrad Hewett’s voice the
moment he opens his mouth. He’s recorded over two
thousand TV and radio commercials and has been heard on
virtually every major network in America. But it’s
what he SEES – not says – that is his true gift. AKA
the Badass Psychic, Jarrad sees dead people AND the
energy in and around everyone. Jarrad will discuss his
early psychic experiences and the strange encounter
with an older woman that made him realize that what he
saw as a heavy burden and something broken and wrong
with him, was actually a gift that he could use to help
others. Jarrad Hewett is one of the most recognized
voices on the Disney channel, CMT, and HGTV, where he
narrates the show Tiny Houses, Big Living. His natural
abilities allow him to see and transmute all forms of
energy. He specializes in visionary teaching and remote
healing energy work and has written several best-
selling books including “Love, Life, God: The Journey
of Creation” and his latest, “The Answer is Energy.”

6. ==> Give Kids a Back-to-School Toolkit

Back-to-School can mean anxiety for kids who are
starting new schools or nervous in general about doing
well and making new friends. One way to tamp down that
anxiety is by providing children with a Back-to-School
toolkit that is both effective and free. Former school
principal Anne Andrew, who is also an author and
parenting coach, will share the five things to put in
the toolkit, which could be incorporated into your
child’s lunchbox. She’ll discuss how common household
objects such as a Band-Aid and birthday candle can be
put to use for this powerful purpose. She is the author
of “What They Don’t Teach in Prenatal Class: The Key to
Raising Trouble-Free Kids and Teens.” Contact her at

7. ==> This Neurologist Could Solve Football’s Concussion Problem

NFL, college and high school football are under attack.
All because of the high risk of concussions 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
Paul Wand, MD, PA, to hear about the “Wand 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. Dr. Paul Wand has been a
medical doctor for 35 years specializing in the field
of Neurology and is the author of “The Concussion Cure:
3 Proven Methods to Heal Your Brain.” Contact him at

8. ==> Just in Time for 2020 Political Paranoia: Conversation Crisis

When’s the last time you had a decent conversation?
Today we find ourselves in an overly connected society
that ironically experiences very little real connection
between individuals. Why? “Much of this can be laid at
the doorstep of technology that reinforces our desire
for convenience (speed and availability) over true
connection – individual to individual – face to face,”
says Ivan Obolensky. Deterioration in the art of
communication can be seen not only across kitchen
tables but also on the national stage. You only have to
look as far as political debates and late-night pundits
to see how far we have fallen. Interview Ivan to find
out what your audience needs to know now to create
meaningful conversations (start by being curious and
interested instead of being interesting!) and what to
avoid at all costs (don’t commit “assumicide!”) Ivan
Obolensky is an author and a true Renaissance man in
his own right. He is the author of “Eye of the Moon.”

9. ==> Does it Pay to Be Ethical in Business… and in Life?

What does it really mean to be ethical in business and
in life? Today people are living in a grey area… an
area that blurs the lines between right and wrong,
ethical and unethical. Would you know fraud if you saw
it? At work or in yourself? Interview John Smith – an
ordinary guy who unwittingly got caught up in the
1980’s S&L crisis and found out the hard way that you
don’t have to commit a crime to be convicted of one.
“Most people are unaware of what fraud actually is so
it’s overlooked and people remain unaware of illegal
activity around them. We all need to know exactly what
fraud is, how it happens, why it happens and how to
avoid it!” says John. John Smith is an author and a
professional speaker who shares his gripping story and
the consequences of ethical and unethical behavior. His
book “Embracing the Abyss” chronicles his true story of
unknowingly becoming a part of a fraud scandal and
receiving a presidential pardon. Contact him at (214)

10. ==> Deceived: What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You

Sometimes conventional medicine just doesn’t work.
Whether they have a chronic illness, auto-immune
disease or cancer, millions of people struggle to
simply manage their symptoms let alone cure the
illness. But Reena Jadhav says it’s possible to reverse
every disease… if you take back control of your health
and your body. A successful tech entrepreneur, Reena
spent years fighting colon cancer and a misdiagnosed
auto-immune illness. Now symptom-free and healthier

11. ==> Take this Quiz: Are You Really Living in the Moment?

A lot of people think they’re living in the moment, but
Joffre McClung says many are actually sleepwalking
through life not realizing what they’re missing.
“Living in the moment is about being present in your
life, moving through the world consciously and with
purpose, and being aware of your behavior and its
impact on those around you,” explains the personal
growth expert and author. Take her quiz to discover
which areas of your life need waking up and get simple,
everyday tips to instantly become more present and feel
happier, less stressed and more focused. A former media

12. ==> September is National Self-Improvement Month: How to Be Better (Without Really Trying!)

Who wants to be told that they need to be better – that
they need to improve? No one! But it’s instinctively
something we know we need to hear… we DO need to be
better! Interview Jennifer Cochern, a seasoned
counselor who helps people understand who they are and
how they can be better. And it’s easier than you
think! She will tell your audience how to make the
most with what they’ve got… and more importantly how to
make it FUN! “Sometimes it’s as easy as saying no to
the people around you or finding a new hobby that gets
you out of the house and meeting new people,” says
Jennifer. “Self-Improvement can sometimes feel like
self-care!” Jennifer Cochern, LCPC is a counselor and
the author of Alignment: Move from Internal Chaos to
Clarity. She has worked with hundreds of clients
promoting personal growth and healthier relationship
skills. Contact Jennifer at (208) 817-2870;

13. ==> Healing Emotional Pain in the #MeToo Era

The #MeToo movement has unearthed all kinds of painful
memories of sexual abuse, but what are the victims to
do once they’re faced with such raw and difficult
emotion again? Invite author, speaker, and personal
transformation expert Arnoux Goran to reveal how to
help victims fully and permanently recover from sexual
abuse, even if it happened for many years or through
many generations in their family. Goran has developed a
method to reprogram yourself that was studied by the
University of California, Irvine, and proven to be 100%
effective. His new book is “The Answer: How to Change
Your Life and Make Your Dreams Come True.” Ask him: Is
it really possible to escape the emotional scars of
sexual abuse? What are some of your most dramatic
stories of helping victims heal? Contact Arnoux Goran
at (878) 203-8231 (CA); AGoran@rtirguests.com

14. ==> 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 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 spent 15 years showing people
from all walks of life (including high achievers,
entrepreneurs and pro athletes) how to unlock their
personal deep-seated power and potential. Contact Olga
Kniazeva at (604) 265-7469; JGravel@rtirguests.com

15. ==> Can Anyone Learn to be Happy?

Are some people just naturally unhappy or can anyone
learn to be more joyful? Jim Ryan believes—and his long
career attests—that happiness and joy are like muscles
that can be strengthened. Invite this upbeat expert on
your program to share the eight characteristics of
happy people that anyone can learn to incorporate into
their lives. He’ll also reveal how to avoid the traps
we fall into that lead to unhappiness—including
worrying about what other people think of us. Jim is
the author of “Simple Happiness, 52 Easy Ways to
Lighten Up” and a frequent media guest who gives
workshops on happiness all over the country, even
prisons. Ask him: Can other people really spoil our
happiness? What first steps should someone take if they
want to be happier? Can pessimists turn into optimists?

16. ==> Self-Hypnosis: The Antidote to Negativity and Anger

Achieving a positive mindset amid everything happening
today is no easy task. For some, it may even seem
impossible, but Mary Battaglia says there is a tool
that can help clear the mind, get unstuck and become
hopeful again. Battaglia, a certified clinical hypnosis
practitioner and sound practitioner, helps people
reduce stress, heal, clear blocks and tap into their
unlimited potential using self-hypnosis. She’ll explain
what hypnosis is and isn’t and share ways your
listeners can use hypnosis to reduce the amount of
anger they feel and overcome negative voices in their
heads. Battaglia has been featured on Fox News. Her
hypnosis tips are broadcast on Conversations with Joan,
a show heard on AM-970: The Answer and iHeartRadio.
“Transformation Through Hypnosis: Relax, Clear Your
Mind & Step into Your Power” is her latest book.

17. ==> The Forgotten Lives of the Abortion Debate

As the U.S. has become bitterly divided by the current
changes to abortion laws, best-selling author Jane
Jenkins Herlong points out that one faction of society
is being completely over-looked: elderly people. “When
it comes to sanctity of life, we really need to focus
on the elderly,” she says. “The extreme abortion laws
from New York to Alabama are vastly different. This
also affects the elderly, who are not part of the
current discussion.” Jane can discuss what she learned
from caring for her own elderly mom, and why we need to
take greater measures to protect the elderly to ensure
that they live the remainder of their lives in safety,
comfort and dignity. She is a former Miss America
contestant and the award-winning author of four books
including Rhinestones on My Flip-Flops. In addition,
she has recorded music CDs and personal growth and
comedy DVDs. As a humorist, her comedy is featured on
Sirius XM 97. Contact Jane at JHerlong@rtirguests.com;

18. ==> Lady Rancher: How Women Can Wrangle Fulfilling Lives

Like many women over 40, Sandra Matheson found herself
at a daunting crossroads. She was divorced, unable to
continue her career as a veterinarian due to work-
related chemical sensitivities and stuck with a money-
losing farm. But she managed to turn lemons into
lemonade by focusing on rebuilding her farm, which
became a metaphor for her life. “Just as a farmer grows
crops, you can make the choice to grow your dreams
after 40,” she says. “The main focus has to be on
silencing your ‘inner critic.’ Growing your life will
take some work. However, the fruits of that harvest are
well worth it. ” Sandra is a co-host of Cowgirl Camps,
which teach women about farming and ranching, the next
of which is set for Aug. 26-30 in Cheney, Wash. She is
also the author of the upcoming book “Thrive After 40 ?
How to Seize the Life of Your Dreams!” Contact Sandra

19. ==> Here’s a Scientific Formula for a Success in Life

While science and religion have long been considered
mutually exclusive, David L. Peters credits both for
his good fortune in his life. At 84, he has achieved
great prominence in his career as an engineer, holds 18
patents, raised seven great kids and has enjoyed a
loving marriage of 57 years. In addition, he has just
become a first-time author of a well-received book that
reveals the secrets to success and happiness. “My faith
comes through science, as I firmly believe that quantum
physics has proven the existence of a power or force
beyond all,” he says. David has accomplished this by
applying the 12 Steps of Alcoholic Anonymous to his
daily life, which he says can help anyone, even if they
never touched liquor or drugs. He can share simple but
powerful ways how others can, too. David L. Peters is
the author of “The 12 Steps to Joy and Happiness:
Finding the Kingdom of God that Lies Within.” Contact

20. ==> Why Donald Trump’s Third Marriage Will End, Bigly!

Thrice-married Donald Trump has already experienced two
disgraceful divorces. Pastor and marriage counselor
Rev. George Sukhdeo believes that Trump’s marriage to
Melania is also doomed. “Trump’s marriage is not going
to end well; his wife will most likely leave him,” he
says. “He doesn’t have the vaguest concept of marriage.
He doesn’t treat women with love and respect, or value
them for who they are.” Rev. George has been married to
his wife, Shirley, for 46 years and has counseled 500
troubled couples, with an 85 percent success rate. He
is an ordained minister with the Pentecostal Assemblies
of Canada with 34 years of experience in Christian
ministries as a pastor, Christian counselor and life
coach. He is the author of “Preparing for and Fostering
Harmony in Marriage.” Contact Rev. George at

1.==> Getting Out of Afghanistan

Many believe that President Trump’s decision to call
off peace talks with the Taliban leaves the area
bracing for violence. Matthew Hoh explains the U.S.’
role in the region, beginning some 40 years ago. “Prior
to the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1979, the U.S.
started supplying revolutionary Islamic forces in
Afghanistan to create chaos to force the Soviet Union
to invade, ‘in order to give the Soviets their own
Vietnam’ as President Jimmy Carter’s national security
advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski said. After the Soviet
Union withdrew in 1989, the United States continued to
send money and weapons to various Mujahedin groups for
years, helping to create a more fragmented civil war.
After 9/11, the U.S. replaced one side of the Afghan
ethnic civil war with the other side, and did nothing
to establish a lasting peace.” Matthew Hoh is a senior
fellow with the Center for International Policy. He is
featured in the new documentary An Endless War? Getting
Out of Afghanistan. In 2009 he resigned his position
with the State Department in Afghanistan in protest of
the escalation of the Afghan War by the Obama
administration. He previously had been in Iraq with a
State Department team and with the U.S. Marines.

2. ==> Trump Made Right Call on Taliban Talks

National security analyst Peter Bergen says President
Trump made the right call to when he canceled a meeting
and called off peace negotiations with the Taliban this
weekend. “Trump can smell a bad deal when it is
presented to him, and the deal that US Secretary of
State Mike Pompeo and his lead US-Taliban negotiator,
Zalmay Khalilzad, is cooking up with the Taliban is a
real stinker.” Bergen says, “The winner from the
canceled Camp David summit is the elected Afghan
president Ghani, who will run for reelection at the end
of this month and may well win. And whoever wins that
election will be in a far stronger position to insist
that the next round of negotiations with the Taliban
must include the duly elected Afghan government.”
Bergen is CNN’s national security analyst, a vice
president at New America and a professor of practice at
Arizona State University. He is completing a book about
President Trump’s national security team and policies.

3. ==> Former FBI Agent & Comey Assistant – Josh
Campbell

Josh Campbell, former Special Assistant to FBI Director
James Comey, had a front-row seat throughout the FBI’s
investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia
and the growing alarm inside the FBI about the
sustained assault on the Bureau and its independence.
“One key aspect of law enforcement in this nation that
separates us from authoritarian regimes has been the
norm that politicians do not interfere in the work of
the FBI,” he asserts. “This critical norm has been
tested many times throughout our history; conflict
between the White House and our institutions of justice
is nothing new. What is unprecedented, however, is
Donald Trump’s method of dealing with such conflict.”
Invite him on your show to share an illuminating fly-
on-the-wall account that takes listeners behind the
scenes from the earliest days of the Russia
investigation—codename: Crossfire Hurricane— that began
in the months leading up to the 2016 election.
Campbell, now a CNN analyst on crime, justice, and
national security issues, is the author of “Crossfire
Hurricane: Inside Donald Trump’s War on the FBI.”

4.==> Trash or Treasure? Avoid Flea Market Rip Offs

It’s flea market season and while finding treasures
amid the trash can feel exhilarating, too many times
people wind up hauling home fakes and frauds instead of
true flea market gold! Invite Patty Penke to share tips
to help treasure hunters spot a good value and
negotiate the best deal. You’ll learn what to avoid
completely, how to check a piece’s value while shopping
and when to talk away from a deal. And like in most
things, she says, “A good rule of thumb for flea market
treasure hunters: If the price is too good to be true –
It is!” Patty Penke is CEO of Assisting Hands Estate

5. ==> Why Do People Fear Friday the 13th?

Some folks will be a bit jittery this Friday. Why?
Check the calendar, it’s Friday the 13th! Get ready for
a fun show on common superstitions and the effect that
believing them has on us. Most of us have no idea what
it is about the number 13 that makes it a pariah but
enough people have the fear that it has its own name,
triskaidekaphobia, and fear of Friday the 13th is
called paraskevidekatriaphobia. There’s even a
bestseller franchise of slasher movies called “Friday
the 13th.” Wade Meadows can share some interesting
theories about our dislike of 13—a topic that is
personal for him. Wade was born on, you guessed it,
Friday the 13th and his mother reminded him nearly
every day of his life that for that reason alone he was
cursed. He can also share the journey he underwent to
come to terms with being born that day and how he came
to believe that he is one lucky man today. He is the

6. ==> Meet the Moms Fighting Back to Save American
Jobs

Hilarie Gamm is one of three moms who founded the
grassroots nonpartisan American Workers Coalition. She
can tell your audience how AWC has been successfully
taking on deep-pocketed foreign lobbyists,
billionaires, and special interest groups to help
ensure that educated, middle-class Americans stop
losing job opportunities to cheap foreign workers with
fewer credentials. A media favorite who recently
appeared on Coast to Coast and Breitbart News Tonight,
Gamm can talk about why there is no shortage of
homegrown highly skilled, educated and qualified
workers, the D.C. rules which put American college
grads at the end of the line for jobs at America’s
biggest employers, what Silicon Valley tells the media
to hide this closed-door career manipulation, and
simple ways for everyday Americans to end the job-
stealing wreaking havoc on American families. Gamm is
the author of “Billions Lost: The American Tech Crisis
and The Road Map to Change.” A respected tech veteran,

7. ==> Why America Needs a Robust African Foreign
Policy

Americans have sent millions of dollars to help people
in Africa over the decades, yet the conditions faced by
many there aren’t improving. According to UNICEF, by
2050, Africa will be home to 35% of all adolescents in
the world. A poorly educated, disenfranchised young
population is a perfect recruiting ground for those who
perpetrate evil in our world. Most of the nations of
Sub-Saharan Africa have very poor, or at best, subpar
healthcare systems. Eventually, this situation poses a
serious threat to all mankind. Is foreign aid really
the solution? Invite author, speaker, and neurosurgeon
Dr. Sylvanus Ayeni, to reveal some surprising plausible
solutions. As the president of Pan Africa Children
Advocacy Watch, Inc., he envisions the path forward for
these nations. His new book “Rescue Thyself: Change in
Sub-Saharan Africa Must Come from Within” reveals what
many in the West don’t understand about the root causes
of Sub-Saharan Africa’s plight and the necessary steps
to improve the situation. Contact Sylvanus Ayeni at

8. ==> Former Prof. Shares Shocking Truths about
College

During the 11 years Glen Dunzweiler spent as a college
professor, he learned some profound truths. To his
astonishment, he discovered that many students had no
idea what they would do with their degrees or how they
would pay off their student debt. They were going to
school merely because people told them they needed to
and because universities are highly skilled at
marketing themselves. Glen is making it his mission to
ensure that parents have important conversations with
their children, well before the first college tour.
He’ll reveal what that conversation should sound like
as well as the paradoxical, self-serving way
universities use tuition money to preserve their
business interests to the detriment of students. He can
answer such questions as what should be taught in every
class that isn’t and should parents refuse to allow
their children to take certain majors. Glen is a former
college professor, a documentarian and the author of
two books. His latest is “A Degree in Homelessness?
Entrepreneurial Skills for Students.” Contact Glen at

9. ==> Why Do Our Best Students Feel Dumb?

Students feel DUMB when they cram for a test on
Thursday, get an A on Friday and forget it all by
Monday. Students feel SMART when they remember and even
smarter when they use new, remembered knowledge to
solve problems in unique ways. SMART schools have
processes in place that make the “Cram Plan”
impossible. “Who has the most control over education?
The answer might surprise you… but almost everyone I
talk to agrees with my answer!” says Lee Jenkins,
educator, administrator and author. According to Lee,
it’s easier than you think to solve the educational
dilemma in this country… by getting rid of cramming,
once and for all! Lee shows your audience how! Lee
Jenkins is the author of “How to Create a Perfect
School,” foreword by Jack Canfield. He’s been an
educator and administrator in public schools and
universities. Contact Jenkins at (484) 306-8784;

10. ==> Develop Your Inner Bull***t Detector!

Fake news. False social media propaganda. Government
officials and leaders who lie, lie, lie. No wonder
modern people feel so anxious, angry and disconnected
from reality. Kim Chestney has the simple yet powerful
solution: Intuition! “Intuition is the most important,
yet least understood faculty of human consciousness,”

developing your inner voice is a great bull***t
detector. It can also facilitate well-being and growth
in all aspects of your life.” She’ll discuss how
virtually every successful person including Bill Gates,
Jeff Bezos, Oprah Winfrey and more possesses this
trait. Kim is an international best-selling author and

11. ==> Consumer Alert: What Insurance Companies Don’t
Want You to Know

Imagine if you could receive CASH for that life
insurance policy you or your parents don’t need
anymore! Did you know that 70 billion dollars of life
insurance policies go to waste annually? Simply because
consumers don’t know a little-known secret that, if you

Insurance Doctor ™, who will explain all that as well
as why the Transamerica COI Settlement is a big WIN for
insurance companies and a big LOSS for policy holders.

settlement, what it means to the average policy holder
and what they can do to protect themselves from
insurance companies that are illegally raising their
mortality costs. David combines his legal and business
experience with a passion for philanthropy. His book is
“The Best Kept Money Secret in Your Insurance Policy.”

12. ==> Six-Word System to Build Your Network (FAST!)

Did you know there was one word that both George W.
Bush and Bill Clinton used that was key to being
elected President of the United States? Tom and Lindy
Schneider say it’s hard to learn, but easy to use and
they’ll tell you how. They’ll also share two words that
are most effective when least expected (and led to
Lindy going from fired to hired in 24 hours and being
featured on national TV), AND the three words that
Warren Buffet requires anyone he mentors to know. The
Schneiders says these six words, when used together,
will give you a system to accelerate your connections
with others, both personally and professionally. Tom
and Lindy uncovered this six-word system when
interviewing hundreds of successful business people and
entrepreneurs for their book “College Secrets of Highly
Successful People.” Tom and Lindy Schneider are
speakers and authors who have been featured on ABC,
CBS, NBC, Fox, the CW and Inside Edition. Contact Lindy

13. ==> Are You Tech Challenged? Host an ‘Appy Hour!’

Technology has changed so rapidly and infiltrated so
much of our daily lives that many people feel
overwhelmed and confused by it all, especially older
folks. So acclaimed product design expert Lorraine
Justice suggests hosting an “appy hour” party, during
which people can teach each other how to use tech
products and services. “A lot of people are intimidated
by technology, and technology has caused people to
become more alienated,” she says. “Friends and family
members can bring their phones to these gatherings and
share their knowledge. It also brings younger and older
people together.” Lorraine will share tips for hosting
gatherings, and reveal fascinating new tech products
coming onto the market in the future. A TED presenter
and international keynote speaker, she’s the author of
“The Future of Design, Global Product Innovation in a
Complex World.” Contact Lorraine at
ljustice@rtirguests.com; (585) 206-8823.

14. ==> How Jeffrey Epstein Exposed the Hidden World of
Sex Trafficking

The world was rocked when billionaire Jeffrey Epstein
was charged and jailed for human trafficking and then
apparently committed suicide while behind bars. Even
more shocking though, was that someone could get away
with such heinous crimes for years. Raleigh Sadler, a
Christian reverend and founder of the human trafficking
awareness group Let My People Go, says the problem is
more widespread, complicated and insidious than most
people know. “Human trafficking is far more prevalent
than the general public realizes, and it can affect
virtually any community.” Raleigh says a general lack
of awareness is part of the problem, as well as the
absence of accurate information and the abuse of power
by powerful people. He is the author of “Vulnerable:
Rethinking Human Trafficking.” Contact Raleigh at
RSadler@rtirguests.com; (917) 341-6758.

15. ==> How the Burning Rainforest is Killing the
Entire Planet

As the world watches in horror as Brazil’s Amazon
Rainforest burns at an unprecedented rate, it’s a lot
graver than most people realize. “The Amazon is the
planet’s lungs, producing 20 percent of the oxygen in
the earth’s atmosphere,” says environmental engineer
and author Yasim Davar. “The fires have immediate
impacts on the destruction of habitat for animals,
indigenous people’s homes and the amount of greenhouse
gases produced, which contributes to a global
temperature rise. This in turn leads to extreme weather
events like droughts. Brazilian president Jair
Bolsonaro, whose policies have led to this disaster, is
operating under the outdated beliefs that the earth is
separate to us and exists for us to destroy as we
please, and that the only way to thrive economically is
to exploit the environment.” Yasmin holds a Master of
International Studies in Peace and Conflict Resolution
and is the author of “Our Peaceful Planet: Healing
Ourselves and the World for a Sustainable Future.”

16. ==> ‘Go Purple’ in October to End Domestic Violence

Domestic violence doesn’t just affect victims and their
families. According to domestic violence awareness
advocate Curt Lindsley, “It tears at the very fabric of
entire communities. It can impact a company’s bottom
line due to lost productivity, can cause long-term
health problems in victims, can spill over to schools
and workplaces, and involve innumerable police man
hours.” Curt is the founder of the nonprofit domestic
violence awareness group Go Purple USA, sponsor of Go
Purple Awareness Day (Oct. 1), and the co-founder of
the Covington Domestic Violence Task Force. He’ll share
ways everyone can help and support the cause by
sponsoring awareness events such as Go Purple Day,
Purple Light Nights, educational programs and advocacy
outreach to help shine a light on the issue. Contact
Curt at Clindsley@rtirguests.com; (256) 213-1092.

17. ==> He Sacrificed Everything to Save His Homeless
Mother

Do a show on the incredible true story of a son who,
after 20 years, learns his estranged birth mother is
alive and living on the streets of Philadelphia. He
does everything in his power to find her, rescue her,
and love her…. even after she spits in his face and
refuses to leave the streets. He sacrifices everything
for love! Marty Vargas will share how his love for his
birth mom was tested time and time again, but
eventually prevailed – overcoming her rejection and
fear. This wonderful human-interest story is really a
tale of two mothers… including the one who took him in,
raised him, hid the truth from him – but eventually
gave him the information and the courage he needed to
go on the search of a lifetime! Marty Vargas, MFA, is a
media owner, author, and a sought-after International

18. ==> Surviving Stage Four Cancer Like Alex Trebek

Beloved “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek says his stage
four pancreatic cancer is in “near remission,”
according to his doctors. He tells PEOPLE, “It’s kind
of mind-boggling … The doctors said they hadn’t seen
this kind of positive result in their memory.” Anthony
Randle’s wife, Jessica, also faced a grim prognosis
when she was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer,
and she too defied doctors’ expectations! Invite
Anthony to discuss what he believes saved his wife’s
life, what he discovered through his own research and
how it helped her sail through chemo to become
healthier and happier than ever. Anthony shares his
poignant experiences in his book “The True Story of a
Husband, A Best Friend and Care Giver: The Struggle
Within.” Contact Anthony at ARandle@rtirguests.com;
(702) 745-8349.

19. ==> Is Food One of Our Best Weapons Against Cancer?

We don’t typically think of food as medicine, but
according to physician Ed Dodge, food is enormously
important as one of our best available weapons against
cancer as well as other chronic diseases such as type 2
diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Invite Dr. Dodge
to tell your audience why certain nutrient-rich,
cancer-fighting foods are so underutilized and how to
start easily working them into your diet. His latest
book is “Family: A Family Doc’s Memoir of Life in
Africa and the US.” Ask him: Which foods are the best
cancer-fighting weapons? What evidence is there that
these foods are effective? Are there foods that should
be avoided because they help cancer grow? Contact Ed
Dodge at (484) 259-9887 (TX); edodge@rtirguests.com

20. ==> How to Start a ‘Gentleman’s Club’ for Dad-less
Boys

As the divorced father of two sons, Pastor Eric
Hawthorne knows the struggles that young boys who grow
up without dads face. “A lot of boys don’t know how to
become men due to that lack of role models. We need
programs through which men can help them to learn
manhood. It will impact society for the long haul and
keep boys out of trouble.” The program the Gentleman’s
Club launched by South Carolina elementary school
teacher Raymond Nelson is one great example. Such
programs help to install boys with confidence, self-
respect and respect for others. Pastor Eric can share
how to mentor young fatherless boys to help them to
become great men. He is the second-generation pastor of
Daystar Deliverance Ministries in Richardson, Texas,
and the author of the upcoming book “Are You Ready for
Marriage?” Contact Eric at EHawthorne@rtirguests.com;

1.==> Hurricane Dorian: How to Survive a Natural
Disaster

Hurricane Dorian is terrorizing residents up and down
the Atlantic coastline. The super-slow-moving storm
pulverized the Bahamas over Labor Day weekend wreaking
havoc with high winds and unrelenting rain. Christine
Perakis knows what it’s like to live through natural
disasters and their devastating aftermath. She’s
survived two Category 5 hurricanes and was alone in her
home in the Caribbean when one blew the roof of her
house, destroyed everything in it, and left her without
running water, electricity, phone or internet 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

2. ==> What Did We Learn from Gulf Hurricanes?

Hurricane Dorian isn’t expected to pound the gulf
region, but the area has taken some hard hits from
previous storms and there is plenty to be learned from
the past. Talk about natural disaster preparedness, the
recovery process, how residents who live in hurricane-
prone areas cope with the weather-related risks, or how
climate change may affect hurricanes today with Gary
Cecchine. He’s the director of RAND Gulf States Policy
Institute which was created in 2005 after Hurricane
Katrina as a collaboration between RAND Corporation and
local universities to support hurricane recovery and
long-term economic development in Louisiana,

3. ==> Terrorism Expert: We Don’t Need New Domestic
Terror Law

Michael German, a former Special Agent with the FBI
specializing in domestic terrorism and covert
operations, is not a fan of the ‘Confronting the Threat
of Domestic Terrorism Act,’ that Democratic
Representative Adam Schiff introduced last week. German
says federal prosecutors don’t need a new law to
prosecute deadly white supremacist crimes, and warns,
“If passed, it would dangerously expand the types of
crimes that the federal prosecutors could charge as
domestic terrorism if the Attorney General certified
they were intended to intimidate a civilian population
or influence government policy. Protesters, by their
nature, attempt to influence government policies.” He
adds, “Where the Schiff bill does expand the law is in
giving the Attorney General the power to charge any
threat of violence or damage to property that creates a
substantial risk of serious bodily injury as an act of
domestic terrorism. So using heated political rhetoric
during a planning meeting or breaking a window during a
protest could result in charges carrying a 30-year
prison sentence.” Michael German is a fellow with the
Brennan Center for Justice’s Liberty and National
Security Program. He is the author of “Thinking Like a
Terrorist: Insights of a Former FBI Undercover Agent”
and “Disrupt, Discredit, and Divide: How the New FBI
Damages Democracy.” Contact him at

from the 70s, 80s and 90s for fall shopping and Dayna
can offer her tips and ideas on trendy, affordable
items that make a statement. Contact John Angelo at

5. ==> Is Friday 13th Really Unlucky?

Get ready for a fun show on common superstitions and
the effect that believing them has on us. This month,
the 13th falls on a Friday, a day many people will
regard as bad luck. (The next Friday the 13th won’t
come until December). Most of us have no idea what it
is about the number 13 that makes it a pariah but
enough people have the fear that it has its own name,
triskaidekaphobia, and fear of Friday the 13th is
called paraskevidekatriaphobia. There’s even a
bestseller franchise of slasher movies called “Friday
the 13th.” Wade Meadows can share some interesting
theories about our dislike of 13—a topic that is
personal for him. Wade was born on, you guessed it,
Friday the 13th and his mother reminded him nearly
every day of his life that for that reason alone he was
cursed. He can also share the journey he underwent to
come to terms with being born that day and how he came
to believe that he is one lucky man today. He is the
author of “Letters from the Ashes” and “Ashes Forged
into Manhood.” Contact him at (225) 224-8697;

6. ==> Dems Education Policies Are Stuck in the 19th
Century

Free college. Universal Pre-K. Jeanne Allen, founder
and CEO of the Center for Education Reform says the
ideas being put forth by the Democratic presidential
candidates are merely reinforcing a system that is
failing to deliver degrees that translate to advanced
education and skills. She says their education policies
show they lack critical understanding of the changing
world. “Parents, teachers, and employers want real
change, not a continued reliance on the antiquated
classroom models ineffective in educating modern
students. …The growth of artificial intelligence
technologies — the same field that is giving us
driverless cars, telemedicine, and robots — is heavily
impacting education in China and other countries. But
in the U.S., our system remains fixed on a process and
delivery that is largely the same as it was at the time
of the Civil War. Our ability to make our students
truly global, flexible, and forward-thinking will
depend on getting away from our misplaced fixation on
space and place.” Jeanne Allen is founder and chief
executive of the Center for Education Reform. Contact

7. ==> Tis the Season of Back-to-School Anxiety

Nationwide, millions of students of all ages — from
elementary school through college — are starting a new
academic year. Many are worried, nervous, and downright
anxious. Some are concerned about challenging courses,
unfamiliar classrooms and demanding teachers while
others worry about bullies, competing in sports and
even family finances. The list of back-to-school
anxieties goes on and on. Audiences will thank you for
interviewing sought-after psychotherapist Elke Scholz,
who’ll share advice for students, their parents and
educators at every level. She’ll explore how the
beginning of the new school year can impact the entire
family, and how school anxiety can be triggered and
tamed. Hear about simple activities that encourage
confidence and calm, ultimately helping students
throughout their academic lives and beyond by
increasing overall wellness, improving concentration
and inducing an upbeat mood. The latest books by Elke
Scholz include “Loving Your Life” and “Anxiety Warrior”
volumes 1 and 2. Contact Elke at (705) 710-4315;

8. ==> They Really Are Animals – Understanding Teens

Teenagers! They’re moody, chatty and socially awkward.
They have bad hair days, their voices change, and they
worry about who likes them. And let’s be honest, they
can be animals! “Exactly!” say Harvard evolutionary
biologist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, MD and science
writer Kathryn Bowers. Invite them on your show to
offer a new lens on human adolescence through the lives
of other animals! Learn how teens and their animal
counterparts all confront four fundamental challenges:
how to stay safe, how to live with others, how to
communicate sexually, and how to live independently,
and hear how wild animal “teens” with raging hormones
take crazy risks—and take more of them under peer
pressure. Dr. Natterson-Horowitz and Kathryn Bowers are
the authors of “Wildhood: The Epic Journey from
Adolescence to Adulthood in Humans and Other Animals.”

9. ==> How Do We Depolarize America?

What causes polarization and how can we reduce it if
not outright eliminate it? Rachel Williams-Smith,
Ph.D., Ed.D., has a unique vantage point on the fear
that leads people to view others as less-human and what
we can do about it. Dr. Rachel grew up as a child of
extremist parents who thought the world was about to
end, so they moved to a remote homestead where they had
little contact with outsiders and lived with no modern
conveniences. Dr. Rachel grew up fearing the larger
world. When she was 16 and her father abandoned the
family, she found herself living in a world she had
been taught to shun. Her fascinating story and the
insights she can share about learning to appreciate
other people who don’t think as you do could not be
timelier. Dr. Rachel is the author of “Born Yesterday:
The True Story of a Girl Born in the 20th Century but
Raised in the 19th.” Now the dean of the School of
Journalism and Communication at Southern Adventist
University, Dr. Rachel is an experienced media guest
who speaks about the effects of extreme religion. Reach

10. ==> Doc Reveals What Your Illness is Trying to Tell
You

Do you realize you can empower yourself to reduce
physical discomfort, ease anxiety and even slow (or
reverse) the progression of disease? How does illness
send you messages about your body, that you need to
know for longer, healthier life? When working with your
doctors, what should you know about self-healing?
What’s the link between disease and emotions? Explore
the answers when you interview physician and speaker
Nelie Johnson, MD. Dr. Johnson will discuss what’s been
missing in health care (traditional Western medicine
AND alternative methods) and how patients are best
served when they become an acknowledged part of the
health team. Dr. Johnson is initiator of the Forum
“It’s Time to Heal,” offering an integrative approach
to treating illness. Her upcoming book is “The Healing
Message of Illness.” Contact Dr. Nelie Johnson at (604)

11. ==> Medical Bullying is Rampant and Affects Patient
Safety

Medical professionals are supposed to save lives not
ruin them. But according to Sharon Bahrych (pronounced
Bear-rich), a 30-year-career physician assistant,
medicine has a dirty little secret: bullying is
commonplace and counterproductive to patient safety.
Nurses bully other nurses, physician assistants, and
medical residents are bullied by their attending
physicians, and people in the profession are strongly
advised to put up with physical assaults, verbal abuse,
intimidation and more. Whistleblowing gets people
fired. Sharon, who plans a TEDx talk on the subject,
can share some of the incidents of bullying that have
happened to her. She can also discuss ways the medical
culture is slowly changing for the better and five
things that can be done to accelerate that process.
Sharon is a physician’s assistant who trained at Baylor
College of Medicine. She has a master’s in public
health from the University of Texas School of Public
Health. Contact her at (720) 669-8098;

12. ==> Can Anyone Learn to be Happy?

Are some people just naturally unhappy or can anyone
learn to be more joyful? Jim Ryan believes—and his long
career attests—that happiness and joy are like muscles
that can be strengthened. Invite this upbeat expert on
your program to share the eight characteristics of
happy people that anyone can learn to incorporate into
their lives. He’ll also reveal how to avoid the traps
we fall into that lead to unhappiness—including

Lighten Up,” and a frequent media guest who gives
workshops on happiness all over the country, including
prisons. Jim Ryan at (631) 203-8441;

13. ==> Will Your Favorite Sea Birds Be Lost to Climate
Change?

We’ve all heard that warming seas, melting icebergs,
and plastic in the ocean are wreaking havoc on sea
creatures. But most of us do not think about their
effect on seabirds that add so much beauty to our
visits to the beach and are an important part of our
ecosystem. That’s why we need to hear the message of
author and illustrator Lynn Matsuoka. Just as she does
in “Saving Our Seabirds,” Lynn can talk about the
thousands of species threatened by climate change and
share fascinating facts about such birds as puffins,
blue-footed boobies, and black-footed albatrosses. For
example, did you know that puffins can hold up to 60
tiny fish in their beaks at once and can spend more
than ten years with the same mate? Lynn can also share
ways ordinary people can help save the birds. She is
donating part of the sales for her adult coloring book
to the Audubon Society’s Project Puffin. Lynn is well-
known internationally for her drawings & paintings of
Japan’s Sumo wrestlers and her worldwide TV color
commentary of the sport. Contact her at (808) 479-5966

14. ==> This Guest Helps Make Sense of the World’s
Craziness

Many of us are on edge waiting for the next shoe to
drop as the world continues to make less sense and seem
so random. But could it be that human behavior’s
apparent new low could be just what we need to reach a
new high? Sankarshan Das believes this is so. This Hare
Krishna guru will tell your audience that the time is
right for abandoning the erroneous principles that lead
us to believe we exist only to feed our bellies and our
material and sexual selves. He’ll talk about the real
purpose of our lives, how to live anxiety-free and the
role karma plays in such tragic events as mass
shootings. Sankarshan Das circles the world twice a
year singing and speaking in promotion of global peace
and spiritual perfection. He’s the author of the
upcoming book “A Hippie Becomes a Happy.” Contact him

15. ==> 5 Reasons Why It’s NOT a Man’s World

Ask people about the advantages men have over women and
you are likely to hear such comments as “men have all
the power; they make more money than women, and they
are more likely to be abusive.” Sparrow Hart says it’s
time to set the record straight and acknowledge that
men have been having a rough time lately. He will point
out statistics that show that men have shorter lives
than women, have less access to health care, have five
times the suicide rate as women, and now make up less
than 50 percent of college freshmen. “Does this sound
like an oppressor group?” he asks. “Where are the equal
rights for men?” As Hart will explain, men are often
caught between a rock and a hard place. Women want men
to express their feelings more, but when they do women
say, “Not those feelings!” Women want the “nice guy
feelings,” not men’s real feelings of frustration or
resentment. Sparrow Hart has been leading men’s
programs such as The Mythic Warrior and The Men’s
Wisdom Council for decades. Contact him at (801)

16. ==> From Living in the Worst Housing Project to a
Life of Accomplishment

No one expected much from Christopher L. Hall. After
all, his mother was an alcoholic, his father was in
jail, he lived in one of the worst housing projects in
Los Angeles and he was a runaway who stole a
motorcycle. But Hall defied the odds. Invite him on air
to discuss what happened when he was 14 that set him on
the path to dental school, medical school, and the
military. Today he is an ER doctor in Mississippi even
as one of his brothers sits in federal prison serving
the equivalent of a life sentence. Now a role model and
leader, Hall can inspire other young people to realize
that it isn’t where you start in life that matters,
it’s where you end up. Contact him at (251) 207-7527;

17. ==> Sept. is Self-Improvement Month – How to Be

battle, but there’s still a lot more left to achieving
your goals! After 30 years in business and over a
decade in researching, Steve McNicholas has discovered

19. ==> Skeptical Journalist Now Believes in Unseen
World

During the 30 years he spent at the South Florida Sun-
Sentinel, Kingsley Guy was known for his quest for
accuracy and his trenchant skepticism. He was, in
short, perhaps the last person one might expect to
conclude that there are worlds we cannot see and
intelligent entities guiding our lives. On your show
Kingsley will share some of the many events he
experienced that caused him to believe that God,
guardian angels, and spirit guides are every bit as
real as the newsmakers and celebrities he once
interviewed. You’ll hear about the odd sensation he had
the night his mother committed suicide thousands of
miles away and other inexplicable events he experienced
that turned him from a depressed, alcoholic skeptic
into a sober spiritual seeker. Kingsley Guy is a former
editorial page editor who had assignments in the Middle
East, India, Russia, and China and conversed with
hundreds of prominent newsmakers, including John
McCain, Hillary Clinton, John Glenn, Mikhail Gorbachev,
and Madeleine Albright. A frequent guest on radio and
television, his new memoir is “Piercing the Veil: A
Skeptical Journalist Discovers Unseen Worlds.” Contact

20. ==> Does Your Name Determine Your Life?

“What’s in a name?” According to Name Colorology expert
B. P. Greycastle, your name can make or break you in
life. In his book “Your Name and Colors: Key to Your
Beauty, Career, Personality, Romance and Success,” he
reveals how your color-coded name determines your
personality traits and talents as they correlate to
your seven energy centers: spiritual, intellectual,
vocal, physical, control, emotional and sexual. “The
richest people have certain color types,” he explains.
“Ninety percent of them are purple spiritual center
people. William Gates is one example.” He can
illustrate on air using a vast array of lists, facts
and figures how the most famous and successful people
in practically every career field owe their success to
their names, with astonishing accuracy. Contact B.P. at

1. ==> Why is the Amazon Burning?

Blazes have been torching the world’s largest tropical
forest for three weeks now. The region is usually too
wet to ignite, so the vast majority of fires are caused
by humans. Some are started by farmers aiming to clear
land, some by illegal loggers trying to cover their
tracks, and some by negligence. But ultimately, many
blame far-right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who
has slashed environmental protections for the Amazon
and is promoting agribusiness for the land. Maria Luisa
Mendonça, co-director of the Network for Social Justice
and Human Rights in Brazil and a visiting scholar at
the CUNY Graduate Center in New York City, warns, “The
international community needs to send a strong message
to the far-right government in Brazil because its
policies are stimulating unprecedented environmental
destruction in the Amazon, with dramatic consequences
to climate change around the world.” She says,
“Destroying the Amazon to open space for agribusiness
will not bring economic development to Brazil because
[its] agricultural system is a main cause of climate
change.” Contact Maria Luisa Mendonca at marialuisam222

2. ==> Rowdy Roddy Piper’s Daughter, New Wrestling
Superhero

The Women of Wrestling (WOW) Superheroes are back and
their newest member is part of wrestling royalty. Teal
Piper, daughter of beloved pro wrestling trailblazer
Rowdy Roddy Piper, will make her professional wrestling
debut for WOW at its September 18 & 19 live events in
Los Angeles. Teal Piper, as well as WOW trainer Selina
Majors, and WOW (and GLOW) creator David McLane are all
available for interviews. Women of Wrestling returns
for its second season Saturday, September 7th on AXS
TV. Contact Johanna Ramos Boyer at (703) 646-5137;
(703) 400-1099 (cell); johanna@jrbcomm.com or Erin
Bolden at (703) 646-5188.

3. ==> Whatever Happened to the Hare Krishnas?

If you are a certain age, you may recall the incense-
wafting, tambourine-shaking, donation-seeking, shaven-
headed Hare Krishna followers who used to congregate at
airports and other high-traffic spots. If you do, you
may be surprised to find out what they have been up to
these many decades later; for example, did you know
that Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard is
a Hare Krishna? Whether his appearance on your program
is a blast from your past or something entirely new,
Sankarshan Das can offer a primer about who the Hare
Krishnas are today, what they believe, and insights
into what it has been like to live a monastic life and
be a leader in the movement. Sankarshan Das is also a
musician and his mission is promoting peace and
kindness. He’s the author of the upcoming book “A
Hippie Becomes a Happy.” Contact him at (512) 835-8400;
sda@backtohome.com

4.==> Why Our Educational System is Failing Our Kids

Back-to-School means more than new pencils and
backpacks. Students are also going back to an
educational system that is increasingly failing them,
says Andrew Bernstein, Ph.D., who has taught college
and some high school classes for 30 years. During that
time, he says, he has witnessed the decline in academic
preparedness of his students to the point where he no
longer assigns essays to his philosophy students. But
Bernstein says it’s not too late to fix the problem.
He’ll discuss why so many kids struggle to read, why
American students know so little math and history, and
why U.S. students score poorly, relative to kids from
other countries, on international tests. Bernstein has
been interviewed on hundreds of radio shows and
appeared on several prominent TV news shows, including
Neil Cavuto’s. He is the author of several books
including the upcoming “Why Johnny Still Can’t Read or
Write, Spell, or Understand Math–and What We Can Do
About It.” Contact Andrew Bernstein at (845) 219-4566;
andyswoop@gmail.com

5. ==> Give Kids a Back-to-School Toolkit

Back-to-School can mean anxiety for kids who are
starting new schools or nervous in general about doing
well and making new friends. One way to tamp down that
anxiety is by providing children with a Back-to-School
toolkit that is both effective and free. Former school
principal Anne Andrew, who is also an author and
parenting coach, will share the five things to put in
the toolkit, which could be incorporated into your
child’s lunchbox. She’ll discuss how common household
objects such as a Band-Aid and birthday candle can be
put to use for this powerful purpose. She is the author
of “What They Don’t Teach in Prenatal Class: The Key to
Raising Trouble-Free Kids and Teens.” Contact her at
(604) 263-8751 (home) and (604) 720-2776 (mobile);
info@anneandrew.com

6. ==> Let’s Talk Homeschooling

Whether you don’t like your public school system, can’t
afford a private school, or have a child with special
needs, homeschooling has become a viable option for
many families. What is back-to-school like when you’re
homeschooled? Marywinn Lent, a grandmother who’s
homeschooled her children, grandchildren, and children
from her community for the past 30 years can explain
the myths and misconceptions of homeschooling, share
tips for others taking on the challenge and reveal the
biggest challenges for students and teachers. She says
many parents rule out homeschooling because they think
they’re unqualified to teach their kids and worry their
children will wind up with an inferior education or
become social weirdos. But she says there are many
advantages to educating kids at home, “Homeschooling
helps children to either excel and move on to greater
heights of learning earlier or to be able to grasp
harder concepts without having to be left behind.”
She’ll discuss the range of homeschooling resources
available to parents today and explain why she thinks
children benefit from the experience. Contact Marywinn
Lent at lent11@windstream.net

7. ==> After the College Drop-Off…

Nearly 20 million students have just arrived at
college! The transition generates excitement and
anxiety for both students and their parents, and the
first few months can be tough. “Transition depression
is a real concern,” says Lindy Schneider, a college
advisor and coauthor of “College Secrets of Highly
Successful People.” Invite Lindy and her
husband/coauthor Tom to share simple tips to lessen the
send-off blues, warning signs your new student may not
be adjusting well, and advice to help everyone enjoy
this new phase of life. Lindy and Tom Schneider are
professional college advisors who have helped thousands
of college students over the past 15 years. They have
been featured on ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and in many
national publications. Contact Lindy Schneider at (602)
562-8669; lschneider@rtirguests.com

8. ==> Why Socialism Is Bad for America

There is a serious debate in the U.S. about whether
capitalism or socialism is truly better for the well-
being of the country. For example, are we better off
with the for-profit health-care system we already have
or with government-funded Medicare for All? Do we need
a New Green Deal or can climate change problems be
solved by the private sector? F. Patrick Cunnane will
point out that every time socialism has been attempted
it fails but because no one has been able to explain
why it is unworkable the idea keeps resurfacing. Your
audience will benefit by hearing his easy to understand
explanation of why capitalism is better than
socialism—including better for the environment. Cunnane
is the author of “The Physics to Economics Model.” An
experienced talk show guest, he has been a corporate
asset manager for more than 30 years. Contact him at
(440) 666-5871; thephysicstoeconomicscorp@gmail.com

9. ==> Incompetent, Reckless, Smug — Does That Spell
the IRS?

It’s one thing to hate and even fear the powerful
entity that takes a sizable chunk of your hard-earned
money. But according to tax expert Richard Green — who
used to be one of the Internal Revenue Service’s own —
it’s the abuses and pompous approach of the IRS that
should get you really angry. Find out more from this
former agent, who contends that we should be talking
about (and opposing!) the recklessness of the IRS year-
round. As your guest, Green will explore: disparaging
reports and Congressional investigations on the IRS we
hear about every month … whether most audits are UNFAIR
to taxpayers … stark realities about the slow-moving
IRS staff and antiquated technology causing chaos and
wastefulness nationwide … why it’s only getting worse,
and what you can do. Only someone like Green, who’s
seen it firsthand, can blow the whistle on the IRS
mess! Richard Green has authored “Agents of Deceit.”

10. ==> How Embarrassing! Wardrobe Malfunctions at Work

When a celebrity has a wardrobe malfunction it makes
headlines. When one happens to ordinary people it won’t
make the news but that doesn’t mean it won’t impact
their career. Bring Wall Street executive, business
consultant and career coach Tamara Lashchyk (Lash-
check) on your show to talk about her own wardrobe
malfunction as well as how to handle the split skirts,
popped buttons, broken heals and other accidents that
can play havoc with anyone’s image. Tamara can also
dish on the most common fashion blunders seen around
the office that can also wreck your image. She is the
author of the bestselling book, “Lose the Gum: A
Survival Guide for Women on Wall Street, Main Street
and Every Street in Between.” Contact Tamara at (848)
373-3543; TLashchyk@rtirguests.com

11. ==> Discover Why Global Travel is Safer Than You
Think

For some people, worries about crime and terrorism are
enough to rule out travel outside the U.S. And that’s a
shame, says internationally acclaimed travel expert
Chris Herrmann, who points out that when it comes to
being fearful many folks are their own worst enemy.
Chris can share the fears that nearly kept him back
from an amazing backpack trip he took around the world
at age 62 as well as ways to ensure that your own
international trip is as safe as possible. The author
of “The Youthful Art of Midlife Travel” has appeared on
TV, radio, and in print media across Australia. Reach
him at (215) 883-4319; chrish@chrisherrmann.com

12. ==> Are You Guilty of Stereotyping?

Making assumptions about other people is something all
of us do—oftentimes, unconsciously. But when we assume
that people are specific things because they, for
example, drive a certain type of car or work at
Walmart, wear nose rings and sport tattoos, are elderly
or have a different religion than we do it’s easy to
marginalize them and view them as “the other.” Invite
Wade Meadows on your show for a wake-up call about
taking the time to see other people for who they really
are, not who we mistake them to be. Wade says it’s time
we started hanging out with people who are different
than us, talking to them, breaking bread with them and
learning from them. He can also talk about the impact
the words we use with our children will have on their
identities and how they will treat those they encounter
throughout life. Having endured an abusive childhood at
the hands of a mother who told him he was ugly and
worthless, Wade has grown into an unusually empathetic
man who is out to change the world. Wade may even have
your audience members rethinking their own identities.
He is the author of “Letters from the Ashes” and “Ashes
Forged into Manhood.” Contact him at (225) 224-8697;
WMeadows@rtirguests.com

13. ==> How to Control Stress Before It Controls You

Stress and anxiety are at epidemic proportions. Noted
spine surgeon, Dr. David Hanscom, says chemicals
released during stress increase anxiety and even
physical pain. He also believes that Western medicine’s
failure to acknowledge these chemical surges is why
thousands upon thousands of unnecessary, expensive
surgeries are performed every year and ridiculous
prescriptions for pain killers are feeding the opioid
crisis. Get ready for a show to remember as Hanscom,
author of “Back in Control: A Surgeon’s Roadmap Out of
Chronic Pain”, takes doctors and the pharmaceutical
industry to task, He’ll reveal the real reason why he
gave up a thriving practice at his peak, and why he’s
now on a mission to spread his message to the world…
You can train your body to control its reaction to
stress and the chronic pain that comes with it all by
yourself. An in-demand speaker and talk-show guest,
including The Dr. Oz Show and Fox News, Hanscom will
also provide real stress-busting solutions and
strategies to get listeners off painkillers and
substances for good. Contact him
dhanscom@rtirguests.com; (206) 890-1892

14. ==> Is Your Smart Home Spying on You?

seats coming on the market can take your blood
pressure? Where does your data go? Who wants this data?

15. ==> Beach Boys Bodyguard Tells All

Much has been documented about Beach Boy Brian Wilson’s
struggles with drugs, his bandmate brothers, and cousin
Mike Love. But for the first time, Brian’s former
bodyguard/caretaker Rushton “Rocky” Pamplin tells his
riveting behind-the-scenes story. Rocky is a former NFL
player who was college roommates and best friends with
Stan Love, a former LA Laker and brother of Mike Love.
In the mid-1970s, they were enlisted as life savers for
Brian, who was on a death spiral. After years of
silence, Rocky wrote the book “The Beach Boys Endless
Wave: Inside America’s Band” with co-author Ron Hamady,
a veteran of the music and film industries. “Rocky went
where no one had ever been,” Ron says. “It was a
monumental time for the band. There have been plenty of
Beach Boys books; but, no one has ever been behind the
scenes.” Contact Mike Vezo at mvezo@rtirguests.com;

17. ==> How to Become Your Own Healer

Do you realize you can empower yourself to reduce
physical discomfort, ease anxiety and even slow (or
reverse) the progression of disease? How does illness
send you messages about your body, that you need to
know for longer, healthier life? When working with your
doctors, what should you know about self-healing?
What’s the link between disease and emotions? Explore
the answers when you interview physician and speaker
Dr. Nelie Johnson, initiator of the Forum “It’s Time to
Heal,” offering an integrative approach to treating
illness. Dr. Johnson will discuss what’s been missing
in health care (traditional Western medicine AND
alternative methods) and how patients are best served
when they become an acknowledged part of the health
team. Your guest’s upcoming book is “The Healing
Message of Illness.” Contact Dr. Nelie Johnson at (604)
334-3853; njohnson@rtirguests.com

18. ==> Laugh Your Way to Weight Loss and Fitness!

Love food but hate your weight? Find inspiration from a
woman who persevered through 19 years of negative body
image and diet setbacks, but kept her sense of humor
and came out on top. Mary Prenon, author of “I’m Lazy
and I Love to Eat,” finally discovered that laughter
really is the best medicine for everything – including
losing 50 pounds. After struggling with weight issues
for almost 20 years, Mary began writing about her
problems as well as really funny events – like joining
a “diet center” sandwiched in between a pastry shop and
fast food restaurant! When her cardiologist told her
she was “heavy,” she jokingly plotted to kidnap him and
stuff him with junk food! Instead of being sad and
depressed, Mary learned to laugh at herself, turn a bad
mood into something positive, and get motivated. Hear
how she used humor to transform workouts, make
healthier food choices and get in shape – at age 61!
Mary works full-time and is all about quick and easy
fitness tips and meal preps. She’s been featured on
NBC’s “Good Morning Connecticut” and “Coffee Break” in
Providence, as well ABC’s “Morning Blend” in Tucson.

19. ==> How to Connect with Your ‘Inner Cowgirl’

As she entered middle age, Sandra Matheson found
herself divorced, unable to continue her career as a
veterinarian due to work-related chemical sensitivities
and stuck with a money-losing farm, where she got
beaten up by a cow! But she picked herself up, dusted
herself off and set out on a successful career as a
rancher, which became a metaphor for her life. “Getting
older doesn’t mean we have one foot in the grave,” she
says. “We can seize life and wrangle what we want, make
hay while the sun still shines and embrace our
maturity, use what we have learned, do what we want to
and have some fun!” Sandra is the author of the
upcoming “Thrive After 40? How to Seize the Life of
Your Dreams!” Contact Sandra at
smatheson@rtirguests.com; (360) 325-4221.

20. ==> Earthing: The Health Benefits of Going
Barefoot!

Can you remember the last time you: Ran barefoot
through a field? Slipped off your sandals and got sand
between your toes? Dipped your toes in some warm, soft
mud? This activity is known as “earthing” and, believe
it or not, it has powerful health benefits, says
Nathalie Beauchamp, D.C., IFMCP. “Earthing works by
connecting you to the healing energies of the ground,
thereby neutralizing free radicals and reducing chronic
inflammation in the body,” she explains. “It sounds a
bit farfetched, but it works.” Invite Dr. Nathalie on
your show and learn how something as simple as kicking
off your shoes can lead to improved sleep, reduced
inflammation and chronic pain, reduced stress, improved
energy and a greater feeling of well-being. You may
also be surprised to learn that spending some time in
the sun and mindfully barbecuing this summer are
actually fun ways to add to your well-being. Dr.
Nathalie is an Ottawa-based doctor of chiropractic and
certified functional medicine practitioner with the
Institute of Functional Medicine. The founder of the
“What The Hack?! Podcast,” Dr. Nathalie has appeared on
numerous radio and TV shows and has her own YouTube
channel. Her latest book is “Hack Your Health Habits:
Simple Action-Driven, Natural Health Solutions for
People On the Go!” Contact her at (613) 852-1770;
