1.==> Blacks for Bloomberg

There are growing signs that black support for Mike
Bloomberg in 2020 could be a mirror image of white
support for Trump in 2016 when voters who didn’t want
to admit their decision to pollsters nonetheless pulled
the lever for him. Invite Christina Greer on your show
to discuss why the former New York City mayor may be
gaining momentum among blacks even with his legacy of
stop-and-frisk policies and his “luxury product” vision
of New York that led to less affordable housing and
more homelessness. Christina Greer is an associate
professor of political science at Fordham University
Lincoln Center (Manhattan) campus. Her research and
teaching focus on American politics, black ethnic
politics, urban politics, quantitative methods,
Congress, New York City and New York State politics,
campaigns and elections, and public opinion. She is a
commentator on MSNBC, NY1, and WNYC, and co-host of the
FAQ NYC podcast. Contact her at posc@fordham.edu or
@Dr_CMGreer

2. ==> Great Presidents Day Show – Weirdest White House
Antics

Just in time for Presidents Day! Did you know John
Quincy Adams used to enjoy swimming nude in the Potomac
River? Or that doctors once held a press conference to
announce Dwight Eisenhower moved his bowels? Or that
Calvin Coolidge often conferred with a raccoon? Or that
First Lady Florence Harding gave press interviews in
her negligee? Or that George H.W. Bush took showers
with his dog? Author Hal Marcovitz can talk about the
many strange stories that have been circulating around
the White House since John and Abigail Adams occupied
the Executive Mansion, including some very odd stories
about the current occupant. Marcovitz, a longtime
journalist, is the author of the novel “Painting the
White House,” which tells the story of an ordinary
house painter who finds himself at the center of White
House intrigues and misadventures. Contact him at (215)
718-6807 or hmarcovitz@aol.com

3. ==> Actor Offers Valentine’s Day Advice for the
Brokenhearted

Valentine’s Day is a wonderfully romantic time, but it
can be difficult if you have a broken heart.
Actor/director Gabrielle Stone can relate and even
offer advice to those who dread the holiday. It may
sound like a Hollywood screenplay, but Gabrielle’s real
romantic life was quite the disaster a few years ago.
She was newly married when she discovered her husband’s
six-month affair with a 19-year old. She moved out,
filed for divorce and then weeks later became swept up
in a whirlwind romance with plans for a month-long,
Italian adventure. When that man reneged two days
before the trip, Gabrielle says it became a defining
moment in her life. Her new book, “Eat, Pray, #FML,”
tells the story of why she decided to take the trip
alone, how it became a wild adventure with more bad
decisions, and what she learned about love and loving
oneself in the process. Gabrielle Stone is an
actor/director and the daughter of Dee Wallace and the
late Christopher Stone. Contact Harlan Boll at
harlan@bhbpr.com

4. ==> Connect On a New Level This Valentine’s Day

Let’s face it, Valentine’s Day is a high-pressure
holiday, and we all feel like we have to make it
special. Most of us will be relying on the old
standards of candlelit dinners, flowers, and candy but
are they just becoming boring and stale? What better
time to ramp up your romance with a proven technique to
make your relationship extremely passionate and
intimately loving for this special day? Invite James
Beard to reveal how to connect with your partner on
another level and develop special intimacy in your
relationship. Learn three sexy breathing tips to add
more passion, the importance of letting go and
forgiveness, and the three essential connections to a
healthy relationship. Beard is certified in yoga,
qigong and bioenergy healing and is a licensed massage
therapist and holistic health practitioner. A
breathwork expert with 27 years of experience, he is
the author of four books, including “Thirteen Breaths
to Intimacy: Breathwork for Lovers.” Contact him at
(858) 384-2616; jamesisbreathing@gmail.com

5. ==> Don’t Forget to Love Yourself Too!

Romance is often the focus of Valentine’s Day, but
Joffre McClung reminds us to celebrate love in all
forms, including the relationship we have with
ourselves. Invite this personal growth expert to share
why self-love is so important and why so many people
suffer from a lack of it. “Women tend to put everyone
in their life before themselves. Children. Parents.
Spouses. We take care of those we love and tend to our
own needs last, if at all, because we feel it’s
selfish.” Joffre will explain how self-love forms the
lens through which we experience the world, what
happens when someone lacks self-love, and how to
recognize it in yourself and others. She’ll also share
three things you can do every day that will build your
sense of self-love and help you be more mindful. Joffre
McClung has appeared on dozens of radio and TV shows
and podcasts. She’s a former media producer and
independent filmmaker. “The Heart of the Matter” is her
latest book. Contact her at (917) 994-0225;
JMcClung@rtirguests.com

6. ==> Fed Expert on Economic Impact of Coronavirus

Federal Reserve policy and personnel will be in the
spotlight this week as the global economy continues its
efforts to grapple with the impact of coronavirus
outbreak. Fed Chair Jerome Powell will deliver his
semi-annual testimony before Congress, with the
economic cost of the rapid spread of the virus likely
to be one of the issues he’s questioned on. Invite Fed
expert Danielle DiMartino Booth to discuss Powell’s
testimony. DiMartino Booth is CEO of Quill Intelligence
LLC, a research and analytics firm. Prior to that, she
spent nine years at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
She is the author of “FED UP: An Insider’s Take on Why
the Federal Reserve is Bad for America,” a full-time
columnist for Bloomberg View, and a frequent
commentator on CNBC, Bloomberg, Fox News, Fox Business
News, BNN Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance and other major
media outlets. Contact Johanna Ramos Boyer at (703)

7. ==> Worried about Coronavirus? ‘Regular’ Flu Almost
Killed this Guest

While the world is abuzz about the coronavirus, many
people forget just how deadly the flu can be, forgoing
the yearly vaccination. That’s why everyone needs to
hear the cautionary tale of Charles (Charlie) Gardner,
who in 2011 came “this close” to losing his life from
flu complications at age 56, the same age his great-
great-grandfather was when the flu claimed his life. As
a result of flu that turned into pneumonia contracted
while he was on vacation, Charlie suffered 13 strokes,
organ failure, and a six-week coma. His son and
daughter were present even when they pulled the plug on
him. Yet Charlie survived with a great story to share
that includes miracles, a near-death experience and
appreciating the life you have even if it isn’t the one
you expected. Charlie tells his inspiring story in his
book “Always Remember This Moment.” Contact him at
(650) 995-5626; charlesgardner@rtirguests.com

8. ==> How the Government is Bungling the Opioid Crisis

A recent slight decline in opioid deaths is being
touted as evidence the government’s current policies
are working to solve the epidemic but David Hanscom,
M.D., begs to differ. “The opioid epidemic is getting
worse. … In fact, current efforts to reduce opioid
prescribing are exacerbating the problem. Although I
agree with more careful prescribing practices, it isn’t
the answer to the epidemic.” Dr. Hanscom will explain
why doctors can’t solve the issue of chronic pain
although medical research has identified clear
solutions that mainstream medicine isn’t implementing.
Listeners will also discover the real reason people
turn to opioids and the role family dynamics play in
chronic pain. David Hanscom, M.D., is a renowned spine
surgeon, a frequent guest on TV and radio programs and
a sought-after speaker at medical conferences around
the world. He’s the author of several books including
“Back in Control: A Surgeon’s Roadmap Out of Chronic
Pain.” Contact Beth Grossman at (212) 949-4071;
bethgrossman555@gmail.com

9. ==> What Kobe Bryant’s Death Tells Us about Heroes

Why has the death of a retired basketball player caused
so much anguish to so many persons? Because human
beings need heroes–and very often great athletes are
champions most immediately recognizable to us. If we
are to understand the impact of Kobe Bryant’s life and
premature death, we must answer these questions: What
makes someone a hero? Why do human beings need them?
Why are great athletes so often looked up to as heroes?
Andrew Bernstein can help audiences discover the
answers. He holds a Ph.D. in philosophy from the City
University of New York. His just-published book is
“Heroes, Legends, Champions: Why Heroism Matters.” The
book demonstrates what heroes are, how they are
distinguished from non-heroes, and why mankind needs
them. Contact Andrew Bernstein at (845) 219.4566;
andyswoop@gmail.com

10. ==> Are Women Their Own Worst Enemies at Work?

Women talk about the challenges they face in a
patriarchal society but in reality, women are each
other’s own worst enemies, often holding each other
back and sabotaging one another’s careers. Many, if not
most, career women would agree that the bosses that
gave them the most grief in their careers were female.
Why is this the case? Career coach, author and former
Wall Street executive Tamara Lashchyk discusses these
issues and gives real-life examples of women who
vindictively tried to sabotage the career of other
women, including her own boss, who fired her just two
days before she retired. She can answer such questions
as do female bosses treat their male subordinates
better than their female reports? Is this a
generational issue and are millennials better at
supporting other women than baby boomers? What can
women do to help each other? Tamara’s been interviewed
by the BBC and featured in Huffington Post. Contact
Tamara Lashcyk at (848) 373-3543;

11. ==> Nowhere to Run in Next Financial Crisis

With real estate experts, economists, and even online
real estate company Zillow predicting a recession in
2020, are property owners prepared to weather the
coming storm? Invite New York real estate economist and
appraiser Adam Weber to share why he believes that in
the next financial crisis there will be nowhere to
hide. Invite him to discuss how we got here and why the
upcoming economic crisis will be much worse than the
past. As a veteran of multiple financial storms, he
says lenders are currently handing out loans like
crazy. His book, “The Appraisal Review Survival Guide,”
reveals insider information on the workings of the
risky business of making real estate loans. Contact him
at (917) 779-8177; aweber@rtirguests.com

12. ==> The Global Consequences of Africa’s Poverty

Why is mere survival so difficult for hundreds of
millions of Africans despite the continent’s rich
resources? Are the developed nations, multinational
corporations, and outside benefactors inadvertently
contributing to Sub-Saharan Africa’s “bottom billion”
status with their generosity? How can positive change
in the region be achieved? Invite Dr. Sylvanus Ayeni to
discuss the long-term impacts of poverty in Sub-Saharan
Africa on the rest of the world, and engage in a
dialogue regarding the misguided benevolence of outside
sympathizers. Dr. Ayeni, a retired neurosurgeon, was
born and raised in Nigeria. His latest 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 steps needed to improve the situation. Dr.
Ayeni is the president of Pan Africa Children Advocacy
Watch (PACAW) Inc. Contact him at (301) 812-4579;

13. ==> 11 Creative Ways to Tie the Knot without
Spending a Lot

The average wedding now costs more than $30,000,
excluding the honeymoon. Or $75,000 if you happen to
marry in Manhattan. Patricia Davis, the author of
“Going Broke Is No Joke,” says it’s time we stopped
equating expensive wedding receptions with happiness
and longer-lasting marriages and consider her 11
creative ways to tie the knot without spending a lot
and still have a fabulous, fun-filled wedding. She
holds an MBA from Stanford, a master’s degree in
personal financial planning from Golden Gate University
and a certificate from Georgetown University’s Stonier
Graduate School of Banking and Finance. Contact
Patricia at (301) 517-6304; pdavis@rtirguests.com

14. ==> Former Clutter Queen’s Secrets for Living More
with Less

Can’t find your car keys? Haven’t seen the scissors in
weeks? Always losing your cell phone? As decluttering
and downsizing expert Marlena Uhrik, Ph.D., will tell
you, while we are strongly attached to them, a surplus
of possessions can also lead to chaos and wasted time
trying to find them. Marlena can talk about the peace
and calm that comes with decluttering and where to
start if you want to live with less, whether you are
staying put or moving to a smaller home. She can also
share how to make decluttering an everyday process. A

15. ==> Burnout Nearly Killed Her: Exec Shares Stress-
less Success Tips

As a former Fortune 500 executive, Janet McKee is
acutely familiar with the way most people strive for
success–by working their butts off. But as someone who
experienced massive burnout and hit rock bottom in her
professional and personal lives, McKee is now much
wiser when it comes to achievement, fulfillment, and
prosperity; she knows that most of us are going about
success all wrong. In fact, she has found, reducing
stress is a requirement for success, not just a nice
thing to experience. She’ll discuss how to combat
today’s pervasive negativity and fear, why you
shouldn’t fight against or try to change limiting
beliefs, and the only goal you will ever need to
achieve all that you want. Janet McKee, MBA, CHPC,
CHHC, is a High-Performance™ success coach, wellness

16. ==> Why Positive Thinking Doesn’t Always Work

The law of attraction became popular by promoting the
idea that positive thinking can solve all of our
problems, but does it really work that way? Invite
Baisakhi Saha to share why too much positive thinking
may actually become more detrimental than beneficial
for us. Her forthcoming book, “Life is Abracadabra: 21
Magical Stories from My Travels Across the Globe That
Will Make You Look at Life with New Eyes,” reveals how
to harness the magic of life. Saha has been featured by
Canal America TV New York, Prime 24 TV New York,

outlets internationally. Contact her at

17. ==> How to Say No! (and Still Be Liked)

Why is it so hard to say “No!” to your mother-in-law?
Or to your boss when he asks you for the umpteenth time
to stay late at work? Or to that well-meaning friend
who, yet again, is expecting you to run the fall
festival because you are “so great at organizing these
things.” “It’s easy to start feeling angry and
resentful when we continually feel we have to say yes
to things we don’t want to do,” says Jennifer Cochern,
a seasoned counselor who helps people understand what
boundaries are, how to create them and how to keep them
in place … even with that mother-in-law! (A daunting
task for sure!) Jennifer Cochern, LCPC is the author of
“Alignment: Move from Internal Chaos to Clarity.” She’s
worked with hundreds of clients promoting personal
growth and healthier relationship skills. Contact her

Policy Lapse

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 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! Many professional advisors such as attorneys and
CPA’s are now becoming aware of this and trying to help
their clients avoid this waste and turn it into cash.

19. ==> The Luckiest Families Have Super-Grandparents

Whether you call them Pap-pap or Grandfather, Meemaw or
Grammy, our grandparents play an important role in
preparing younger generations for a happier and more
successful life. But sometimes “super” grandparenting
is required, as Dr. Oliver Akamnonu and his wife
discovered. They left their high-powered careers and
significantly changed their lives to help their
daughter, Nena, throughout her pregnancy, while she was
in medical school! Once baby Lydia arrived, the
Akamnonus continued to demonstrate their super
grandparent skills. Invite them on your show and hear
what they learned about helping one’s family and how
that affects health, education, income, relationships,
and society overall. You’ll learn five things super
grandparents always do (and never do,) why financial
support and childcare are only the beginning of the
best grandparenting, and why you needn’t live nearby to
be super grandparents. Listeners will leave with great
advice on how to make sure children and grandchildren
always remember you with gratitude and love. The
Akamnonus co-authored “Little Baby Lydia, Grandma,
Grandpa and Student Mom: Saga of Family Role Reversal
and the New Times.” Contact them at (413) 206-6753;

20. ==> Bigfoot and Aliens: A Real-Life Adventure Story

When she was 22, Patti Houtz was paid by an archeology
society to be part of an expedition that went in search
of Bigfoot. Also in the group were a National
Geographic photographer; her boyfriend John; and a
fisherman who was the latest person to see Bigfoot in
Big Cypress Swamp in the Everglades. What occurred
during the two days they spent in the swamp was
unforgettable and, in Patti’s opinion, life-changing,
and she is only now willing to share the experience on
your show. She’ll detail what happened and what she
thinks it means, and how her boyfriend ended up being
featured on the front page of The National Enquirer.
The Bigfoot story is just one of the adventures Houtz
shares in her upcoming memoir “Solo By Choice.” Contact

1.==> The Mideast Has Just Become More Dangerous

Many foreign policy experts and observers including
Steven Cook, say the killing of Iranian Quds Force
commander Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad has created a
dangerous situation in the Mideast. Cook believes the
assassination will escalate an already tense contest in
Iraq between U.S. and Iran-backed forces, make the
battle against the Islamic State more difficult, and
will likely feed further regional upheaval. He says it
also reinforces a narrative in the Middle East that the
United States is hardly the force for regional
stability that it claims to be. He adds, “It is easy to
understand why Americans should brace for an Iranian
response: this was comparable to Iran killing a senior
U.S. military commander or intelligence official. In
that scenario, any U.S. president would be impervious
to diplomatic entreaties and would respond violently.”
Steven Cook is an expert on Arab and Turkish politics
as well as U.S.-Middle East policy. He is a senior
fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. Contact him
at (202) 509-8620; scook@cfr.org

2. ==> Trump is Committing Impeachable War Crimes

The House is expected to vote soon on a war powers
resolution to limit President Trump’s military actions
after he ordered the killing of a top Iranian general
last week. International law professor Francis Boyle
says, “Hypocrisies and hypocrites abound. Trump should
be impeached for his attacks and threats against Iran.
These are far more brazen violations of the War Powers
Clause of the U.S. Constitution than anything regarding
Ukraine.” He adds, “Trump should have been impeached
for his illegal bombings in Syria. He wasn’t, so
predictably, he has gone on to target Iran and is
making further threats against it and Iraq.” Boyle is
professor of international law at the University of
Illinois College of Law. Contact him at
fboyle@illinois.edu

3. ==> Ten Things Americans Need to Know for 2020

Your politically and culturally-active audience will
enjoy hearing Rick Elkin, a controversial columnist and
cultural analyst whose latest book is “Trump’s
Reckoning: Bulldozing Progressivism, Rebuilding
Americanism.” Rick will explore on-air what everyone is
talking about at the water cooler. Hear his engaging
and different spin on the issues we face every day. Ask
him: What are Trump’s chances to stay in office in
2020? Why are so many young people embracing socialism?
Is the Deep State a threat to our freedom? What is the
overwhelming cultural influence of what he calls “The
FrankenMedia Monster?” Learn why Elkin warns “For
everything you know, there is an equal and opposite
thing you don’t know.” Contact Rick Elkin at (760)
825-4884; RElkin@rtirguests.com

4.==> And You Thought the White House Couldn’t Get Any
Weirder

Did you know John Quincy Adams used to enjoy swimming
nude in the Potomac River? Or that doctors once held a
press conference to announce Dwight Eisenhower moved
his bowels? Or that Calvin Coolidge often conferred
with a raccoon? Or that First Lady Florence Harding
gave press interviews in her negligee? Or that George
H.W. Bush took showers with his dog? Author Hal
Marcovitz can talk about the many strange stories that
have been circulating around the White House since John
and Abigail Adams occupied the Executive Mansion,
including some very odd stories about the current
occupant. Marcovitz, a longtime journalist, is the
author of the novel “Painting the White House,” which
tells the story of an ordinary house painter who finds
himself at the center of White House intrigues and
misadventures. Contact him at (215) 718-6807 or
hmarcovitz@aol.com

5. ==> What Being a Man Means in 2020

In the decade that just ended, once-powerful men such
as Roger Ailes and Harvey Weinstein toppled from their
lofty positions after the toxic way they treated women
became public. And while this may be unsettling for
some men, it is a good thing, notes Destin Gerek, an
internationally recognized expert on masculinity, male
sexuality and male empowerment. “We are living in a
time in which notions of masculinity and femininity and
the roles of men and women are being questioned and
have become more fluid than ever before. … Increasingly
powerful women have necessitated men to rethink their
own role: These radical changes have become
increasingly uncomfortable for us as men,” says Gerek.
“They have forced us to look within, reassess our own
outdated programming, and evolve our understanding of
masculinity and what it means to be a man.” Destin
Gerek is founder and CEO of The Evolved Masculine, a
pioneering coaching and training company for men, and
hosts a podcast by the same name. His new book is “The
Evolved Masculine: Be The Man the World Needs & the One
She Craves.” Contact him at (415) 341-2650;

6. ==> Time for 2020 Retirement Talk

Almost HALF of all Americans have no retirement savings
whatsoever. On top of that, 76% of baby boomers aren’t
confident that they’ve saved enough for retirement. The
New Year is the perfect way to start your financial and
retirement planning off on the right foot. Invite
financial advisor and radio host Beau Henderson on your

7. ==> Reading Glasses Are Actually Harming Your Vision

Nathalie Fiset M.D., started using reading glasses at

physician Dr. Fiset will explain how your listeners are
harming their eyesight by using contacts, reading
glasses and LASIK and share 4 secrets to normal vision
after 40. Your listeners will learn how they can get
better eyesight in just one month. Dr. Nathalie Fiset

could protect themselves and loved ones from medical
errors! Invite RN/APRN (nurse practitioner) Anne
McAwley-LeDuc on your show and learn how to organize
your medical records, communicate effectively, ask the
right questions of health professionals, and become an

(860) 300-1603; AMcAwley@rtirguests.com

9. ==> Are You Violating the Ten Commandments of Pain?

At least 25 percent of your listeners experience
chronic pain or love someone who does. Everyone else
would love to learn how they can avoid joining their
ranks. That’s why you’ll want to interview Trevor
Campbell, M.D., a family physician who has worked in
multidisciplinary pain management and opioids reduction
programs and served as s medical director for a leading
pain management provider. With a charming South African
accent and a rare ability to speak in layman’s terms,
Dr. Campbell will reveal what the Ten Commandments of
Pain are, shatter myths about what pain is, and reveal
his evidence-based, non-pharmacological approach for
reducing pain and enjoying life more. He studied
medicine at the University of Cape Town, South Africa,
before emigrating to Canada, where he became interested
in treatments for chronic pain. He has worked in
multidisciplinary pain management and opioids reduction
programs and has served as s medical director for a
leading pain management provider in Western Canada. His
new book, hailed as a great read by Inc. Magazine, is
“The Language of Pain: Fast Forward Your Recovery to
Stop Hurting.” Contact him at (250) 217-7832;
tcampbell@rtirguests.com

10. ==> Is the Free and Fair Press Dying?

Sixty-percent of people who watch American news think
the sources pay the reporters. That’s the trust gap,
according to a joint Columbia Journalism Review and
Reuters study from earlier this year. With so much talk
about fake news and shrinking newsroom staff positions,
it’s a wonder that anyone would want to train to be a
TV or print journalist today. Willing to share her
unique vantage point on this timely topic is Nita
Wiggins, who teaches journalism in Paris, France, and
is the author of “Civil Rights Baby: My Story of Race,
Sports, and Breaking Barriers in American Journalism.”
Ask her: How much of the problem comes from the work of
reporters and how much comes from the criticism from
the president? How well do American news outlets
provide diverse viewpoints? During her 21 years as a TV
reporter and anchor, Nita witnessed bias against black
reporters and female reporters from Augusta to Seattle
to Washington, D.C. Contact Nita Wiggins at

11. ==> Why We Love Tom Hanks

Who but Tom Hanks could play beloved children’s TV icon
Fred Rogers on the big screen? He already had us after
Forrest Gump, but then, while accepting his lifetime
achievement awards at Sunday’s Golden Globe ceremony,
he reminded us why we love him as he talked about the
importance of little things like showing up on time,
and openly cried about how much he loves his family.
Barry Shore says a big part of Hanks’ appeal is his
joyfulness and appreciation of the miracles in life
that happen every day. A former quadriplegic, Barry’s
mission is spreading the joy of being alive no matter
what adversities people face. Invite the host of The
Joy of Living radio program and podcast on your show
and listeners will learn how to redevelop the sense of
wonder of an eight-year-old and take away a sense of
gratitude for what is right with their lives instead of
focusing on what they perceive is missing. Barry Shore
has been featured in or appeared on O Magazine, Fox,
NBC, ABC, and Forbes. Contact him at (310) 770-4685;

12. ==> Stick to Your Resolution – Lose Weight and Keep
It Off

Successful weight loss isn’t about losing weight. It’s
about changing your relationship with food. It has
nothing to do with calculating calories or counting
points. Obesity isn’t even a medical problem – it’s a
behavioral problem with a medical consequence. These
are some of the fundamental ideas weight-loss expert
Eli Glaser will share with listeners looking to keep
their New Year’s resolutions and finally find a long-
term answer for their life-long struggle. Hear Eli’s
incredible personal story of losing 130 pounds, keeping
it off for 17 years, and how he became an
internationally-known weight-loss coach. His message
and methodology is engaging and compelling and your
audience will eat up every word of his pioneering yet
very practical advice. Eli founded the Soveya Weight-
Loss Solution and is the author of “Enough Is Enough.”

Going in front of a group? Do you have key info to
share? Want to get over your nerves and apprehension?
First of all, no need to imagine your audience naked!
You’ll want your presentation, confidence and message
to wow everyone instead. So says communications and
leadership expert Jill Jaysen. She’ll reveal how we’ve
all been mis-taught when it comes to public speaking
and what really makes a dynamite presentation for
winning big. Learn why gimmicks like “practice at a
mirror” and “videotape yourself” only risk creating
mediocre speakers, how your speech starts long before
you reach the auditorium, and how to prevent the
biggest speaking turn-offs. Contact Jill Jaysen at

14. ==> Business Insanity: Dismal Success of Corporate
Change

Albert Einstein once said, “The definition of insanity
is doing the same thing over and over again, but
expecting different results.” He might as well have
been talking about the way executives try to shepherd
change within their corporations. Deb Kirby, Ph.D.,
notes that such initiatives have a shocking failure
rate of between 50% and 75% over the past 40 years. She
says, “Forty years is an absurd amount of time to fail
over and over again, particularly when you consider the
money, time and toll such processes take on employees!”
Invite Dr. Kirby, an organizational change coach,
trainer and speaker, on your show to identify four
reasons why organizational change fails and propose a
different way to engage individuals, groups, and the
organizational collective to spark sustainable
transformational change. Deb Kirby, Ph.D., is an
organizational coach, trainer, and speaker who
concentrates on corporate culture change and leadership
excellence. Contact her at (801) 913-8276;

15. ==> Understand Your Spouse, Kids or Coworkers
Better

Everyone has at least one person whose behavior vexes
them, leaving them to wonder: Why did they just do
that? What were they thinking? How can they be so
different than me? Get the answers at last from Stacy
Dicker, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist whose unique
approach to understanding human beings includes a
combination of psychology and astrology. Dr. Dicker,

themselves. A Capricorn, she’ll present evidence that
astrology is becoming more credible and accessible. A

16. ==> 5 Reasons You Should Write a Book this Year

An estimated 80 to 90 percent of Americans would like
to write a book someday. Most of them let their dream
die without ever acting upon it. Let Fabi Preslar,

and an author herself, explain what’s involved in
writing and publishing a book. She’ll reveal five
powerful reasons to write your book today including the

17. ==> Make 2020 the Year You Fall in Love with
Yourself

Millions woke up New Year’s day resolving to eat
healthier, lose weight, or make some other life change
in the hopes of becoming a better person and living a
more fulfilling life. But personal growth expert and
author Joffre McClung says there’s a better path to a
happier, more contented life and you don’t have to give
up anything or join a gym! “There really is nothing as
important to your quality of life than your level of
self-love,” says Joffre. Invite her to share three tips
your listeners can do daily to raise their level of
self-love and explain why that’s so important. “Your
level of self-love not only determines how you see
yourself, but governs how you experience the world
around you,” she says. “It’s the prism through which
you see and define all things!” Joffre McClung has
appeared on dozens of radio and TV shows and podcasts.
She’s a former media producer and independent
filmmaker. “The Heart of the Matter” is her latest
book. Contact her at (917) 994-0225 (TX);

18. ==> School’s Toughest Bullies: Teachers

It’s bad enough when a fellow student picks on you and
creates a tense bullying atmosphere at school. We hear
about upsetting bullying issues every week, nationwide.
But what if today’s educators are the troublesome
tyrants? How does that limit learning and upset the
entire class process? Are such control-prone teachers
anywhere near accurate when they insist they’re just
maintaining discipline? What needs to be done by
administrators, PTOs, school boards and teachers
themselves to rebuild bully-free classrooms for all
grades? Find out when you interview popular media guest
Barb Daniels, whose award-winning Timmy Teacup book
series focuses on self-esteem and anti-bullying. Barb
will offer surprising advice to help children and teens
navigate a bullying classroom and healthy ways for
teacher bullies to transform and still command respect.
Expect high ratings and meaningful discussions on a
topic that ultimately affects every family. Contact
Barb Daniels at (636) 220-5495: BDaniels@rtirguests.com

19. ==> We Should All Learn to Laugh at the IRS —
Year-round!

Incompetent. Reckless. Smug. Deserving of your guffaws
and eye rolls, certainly not your fear. All that
describes the IRS, says tax expert Richard Green — who
used to be one of the Internal Revenue Service’s own!
He has seen, first-hand, how the colossal waste and
chaos of his former employer can put America at risk.
He will reveal on-air what put such an important
government agency so behind-the-times and so downright
laughable. Do you realize that agents are still using
50-year-old technology? And audits are unfair and
usually unnecessary? Why is the IRS always blaming
Congress or everyday citizens for its own tax
management foibles? Ask Green, author of “Agents of
Deceit,” what Americans can do to fix all this and
still be fair to our nation and ourselves. Contact
Richard Green at (909) 570-1509; rgreen@rtirguests.com

20. ==> Keep Beds Dry Every Night

Does your child or teen do it — even once in a while?
Are older family members also prone to wetting the bed?
Find out more about this common condition that can be
treated, when you interview Jeff Lazarus, M.D. He’ll
discuss his comprehensive home video program “Keeping
the Bed Dry,” which incorporates medical hypnosis for
anyone hoping to finally awaken to a dry bed. Invite
this acclaimed physician to answer questions like: How
does hypnosis work so well to help keep beds dry? What
other advice does he offer for lifestyle and behavior?
What should parents, teachers, coaches and health
professionals know? Why do so many doctors avoid the
issue? Do adult diapers only make things worse? Can the
problem become more noticeable at different times of
year? Contact Dr. Lazarus at (216) 800-0498;

1.==> Trump’s Tantrums Reveal Fragile Ego

Kurt Bardella says Donald Trump’s bullying tweets and
increasing public meltdowns suggest the fear of
impeachment is getting to him. “Fear is dominating
Trump’s decision-making right now. It’s a sense of
panic, masquerading as strength. This is a man who has
spent the entirety of his adult life plastering his
name on skyscrapers and casinos; this is a man who is
obsessed with his own legacy. And that’s why
impeachment is the permanent stain that Trump deserves
— and one he clearly fears.” He adds, “Trump’s unhinged
tweets and press outbursts are a manifestation of what
feels a lot like desperation. And the more desperate
Trump becomes, the more outrageous his rhetoric will
become and the more his paranoia will grow.” Kurt
Bardella is a media strategist who previously worked
for Breitbart News. He became a Democrat in 2017 and is
now a Huff Post, USA Today and NBC THINK contributor
and the creator and publisher of Morning Hangover, a
country music platform. Contact him at
kb@morninghangover.com or @kurtbardella

2. ==> Are Americans Already Weary of Impeachment
Hearings?

Who’s going to watch week two of the impeachment
hearings on TV? Janna Fite Herbison, a communication
pro from Tennessee, doesn’t believe that many people
care about the spectacle. “Americans outside the
Washington beltway and New York media are thinking
about their families and the state of their own lives
and pocketbooks this holiday season. They aren’t
concerned with a slew of exhaustive finger pointing and
confusing signals about a Presidential phone call that
is saturating the airwaves and threatening to remove
the President.” Janna predicts that as testimony
continues interest will wane and be replaced by
frustration and doubt. Janna Fite Herbison is a former
television news reporter, press secretary, lobbyist,
author and magazine editor. Her book “Southern in The
City” addresses cultural differences and geographical
stereotypes across the country. Contact her at (901)

3. ==> Jon Dorenbos: Life is Magic

You might recognize him as an NFL All-Pro or as an
elite magician who made the finals of America’s Got
Talent and regularly appears on The Ellen DeGeneres
Show. But Jon Dorenbos says that what he does is not
who he is. Who is he? As a 12-year-old boy, he learned
to coach himself on how to turn tragedy to triumph
after his father murdered his mother. Together, magic
and football saved him, leading to fourteen NFL seasons
on the gridiron and raucous sleight-of-hand
performances to packed houses across the globe. Fast
forward to 2017. After being traded to the New Orleans
Saints, Jon’s world was turned upside down again when a
routine physical revealed a life-threatening heart
condition. Have Jon share his poignant and powerful
story and learn how he persevered, why he forgave, and
how anyone can choose happiness over darkness.
Dorenbos’ new book is “Life is Magic.” Contact Doug
Johnson at (310) 550-4079 or Tim Mooney at (609) 412 –
0746.

4.==> Judge Gino Brogdon: Personal Injury Court

Judge Gino Brogdon oversees daytime TV’s newest
syndicated sensation, Personal Injury Court. The show
depicts some of the most outrageous, painful and
costliest personal injury cases ever seen on TV – from
a woman attacked by her neighbor’s colony of bats to a
man who regretfully got a radio station’s call letters
tattooed to his forehead. Known for his big sense of
humor, Judge Gino served more than a decade in
Atlanta’s Fulton County – overseeing cases including
celebrity misconduct, disputes involving professional
athletes, professional malpractice and more. Gino can
discuss some of the most unbelievable cases featured on
Personal Injury Court and some of the wildest things
he’s seen as a judge and mediator. Contact John Angelo
at john@premieretv.com.

5. ==> 35th Anniversary of ‘Do They Know It’s
Christmas?’

On November 25, 1984, some of the biggest British and
Irish artists in music gathered to record the song ‘Do
They Know It’s Christmas?’ to help famine victims in
Ethiopia. The single reached number one in 14 countries
and raised £8 million within a year. This led to other
charitable endeavors such as the LiveAid concert, which
raised a reported £150 million, and USA for Africa’s
single “We Are the World,” which raised $63 million.
Despite these huge global humanitarian efforts, has
life in the affected region improved? Invite author and
speaker Sylvanus Ayeni to discuss the long-term impacts
of charity on Sub-Saharan Africa and whether it has
improved conditions for people there. Ayeni, a retired
neurosurgeon, author, and speaker, was born and raised
in Nigeria. His latest 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. Dr. Ayeni is the president of
Pan Africa Children Advocacy Watch (PACAW) Inc. Contact
him at (301) 910-1020 (MD); stoksayeni777@gmail.com

6. ==> Set an Extra Plate for Thanksgiving

After her husband died, Mary Lee Robinson found herself
quite alone for holiday meals and celebrations. A grief
counselor, Robinson says people tend to forget widows
and widowers at holiday times. They don’t realize how
very alone they may be during the toughest times of the
year for those grieving. As part of her ‘Set an Extra
Plate Initiative’ she’ll encourage listeners to look
around at work, in the neighborhood, at church, clubs
and sports activities. “Notice people who are alone or
families who have had a recent loss, and perform the
simplest community service project one can imagine…
invite them to your holiday table! No extra effort, no
extra money involved!” Mary Lee Robinson is a grief
coach and author of the Grief Series of 5 books. She’s
also the editor of Widowlution Online Magazine, a
lifestyle blog. Contact her at
thewidoworwidowernextdoor@yahoo.com; (843) 421-5338.

7. ==> Share Food AND Stories this Thanksgiving

Families and friends will be getting together next week
to celebrate and give thanks, and Peggy Sideratos says
the holiday is the perfect opportunity for everyone
around the table, especially the kids, to feel a little
closer and more connected by sharing stories.
Sideratos, a former school teacher, says boosting
children’s social educational learning abilities (SEL)
is especially important today. “We live in a world
where kids and teens are dealing with depression,
anxiety, cutting, eating disorders, bullying, school
shootings and suicide rates at an alarming level. The
brokenness is escalating. Our children are hurting and
we have to do something about it,” Sideratos says.
She’ll explain why storytelling is so effective in
communicating with kids, ways Thanksgiving can be a
natural opportunity to share stories and even provide
tips on getting the conversation started! Peggy
Sideratos is the author of “The Light Giver: and Other
Stories to Raise Emotionally Healthy Children” and “The
Light Giver Stories Workbook.” Contact her at (917)

8. ==> Easy Ways to Enjoy Holiday Food Without
Overindulging

The endless temptation of delicious holiday food can
break the diet of even the most committed healthy
eater. Is there any way to enjoy holiday meals without
overindulging? Invite physician Dr. Ed Dodge to reveal
easy ways to join in the festivities without eating too
much and falling off the wagon. He can share which
foods can help you feel full without loading you up
with fat and sodium. His latest book “Family: A Family
Doc’s Memoir of Life in Africa and the US” shares his
journey from his childhood in the wilds of Africa,
where he enjoyed exotic fruits and ate antelope and
buffalo, to experiencing culture shock as a teen
returning to the US. After becoming a physician, he
returned to Africa to work, and later to volunteer. Dr.
Dodge hosted Healthy Living Radio where he interviewed
groundbreaking leaders in medicine. Contact him at
(352) 228-9641 (TX); afritim36@gmail.com

9. ==> Thanksgiving Isn’t the Only Time to Be Grateful

We’re used to thinking of everything we’re grateful for
at Thanksgiving, but what about the rest of the year?
Is it difficult to feel thankful all year long and can
it really improve your outlook? Invite award-winning
screenwriter, author, TV/film producer, journalist, and
TV host Maryann Ridini Spencer to reveal why gratitude
is important for personal health and wellbeing,
improving your relationships, and how it can help
support and heal you going through life’s tough times
and transitions throughout the year. In her novel “Lady
in the Window” and the upcoming “The Paradise Table”
Spencer writes about overcoming loss and how to find
happiness in life through gratitude, family,
friendships, and community. Her work has appeared on
Hallmark Hall of Fame (CBS-TV), the Hallmark Channel,
CNN, USA, SyFy, Showtime, PBS, and many others. Contact
her at (818) 884-0104 (CA); recprinfo@gmail.com

10. ==> How Safe Are Self-Driving Cars?

Self-driving cars are being tested in some cities in
America. While they are years away from being
commonplace, your audience is curious about them. Do
they promise to be safer than those driven by humans?
How are engineers working to make them think like the
human brain does? How are they likely to impact our
leisure and employment situations? For the answers,
interview leading artificial intelligence expert
Junling Hu, Ph.D. Capable of talking about any aspect
of AI, Dr. Hu was the director of AI at Samsung and the
leader of the AI team at PayPal. She received the
National Science Foundation CAREER award for her
pioneering work in AI. She is the author of “The
Evolution of Artificial Intelligence: What You Must
Know About AI.” Contact her at (650) 906-6288;

11. ==> The Healthcare Fix Americans Will Love (But Not
D.C.)

Polls show healthcare is everyone’s top concern, even
above immigration, the environment, or the economy.
Americans simply can’t afford insurance and can’t find
a doctor. But there is hope, says nationally recognized
healthcare authority Deane Waldman, MD, MBA. “It’s a
plan that neither Democrats nor Republicans will like
because it restores control where it belongs – in the
hands of We the Patients,” Dr. Deane says. Invite him
to discuss his proposals for StatesCare and market-
based medicine and why they have the potential to
revolutionize healthcare in the U.S. Dr. Deane was
chief of pediatric cardiology at Children’s Hospital of
San Diego, University of Chicago, and University of New
Mexico. A frequent media guest, he has written five
print books and six e-books and has had articles
published by Fox News, CNS News, Huffington Post, The
Hill, Real Clear Politics, Forbes, Real Clear Health,
Federalist, Investor’s Business Daily, USA Today and
more. His latest book is “Curing the Cancer in U.S.
Healthcare: StatesCare & Market-Based Medicine.”

12. ==> Astrology + Psychology = Psychstrology

For a fascinating show invite psychotherapist Stacy
Dicker, Ph.D., to discuss something she calls
“psychstrology,” and why she believes it can lead to a
greater understanding of humanity. On your show Dicker
will make a convincing case that astrology is more than
the fortune-telling pseudoscience people often believe
it to be. She’ll explain what astrology and psychology
have in common, how astrology can help people find more
balance, clarity, and ease, and evidence that astrology
is becoming more credible and accessible. Stacy Dicker,
Ph.D., is an author and clinical psychologist in
private practice who has been seeing psychotherapy
clients in the Denver area for the last 20 years. Her
latest book is “Psychstrology: Apply the Wisdom of the
Cosmos to Gain Balance and Improve Your Relationships.”

13. ==> Imposter Syndrome: How to Stop Feeling Like a
Fraud

Although outwardly successful as a pastor and adjunct
professor, Bary Fleet used to feel as though he was a
fraud inside—someone who was faking his way through
life, certain one day he would be exposed as a phony.
Sound familiar? Invite Fleet on your show and hear how
he overcame that thinking to rediscover the light,
love, joy, peace, beauty and goodness with which he
says all human beings are born. He says, “What I’ve
discovered is that you don’t have to accomplish
monumental goals, like completing a triathlon or a
Spartan event. You can connect with your Inner
Magnificence every day by doing little things.” In
addition to being a pastor, Bary Fleet has spent more
than 30 years teaching leadership and psychology at
Emory University, Bryant University, and Johnson and
Wales University. He’s the author of “Move into Your

15. ==> How the War on Drugs Created a War on Us

While the War on Drugs may have sounded like a good
idea at one time, the consequences have been
catastrophic. One in three adults in the US now have a
criminal record, primarily for drug possession. Parents
grieve the loss of their children from overdose and
mass incarceration. And patients with severe illness or
chronic pain are denied access to proven pain
medications. Lawyer and expert on drug policy and
criminal justice reform Colleen Cowles can discuss the
myths about addiction that have fueled the overdose
epidemic as well as ways to transform the punitive war
on drugs into compassionate and effective policy.
Colleen Cowles, J.D., is the author of “War on Us: How
the War on Drugs and Myths about Addiction Have Created
a War on All of Us.” She is a speaker and frequent
radio and TV guest expert on topics related to criminal
justice reform, drug policy, and substance abuse.

16. ==> Conversation Crisis? How to Communicate and
Connect

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 how 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 the author of
“Eye of the Moon.” Contact him at (818) 495-8731;

17. ==> 2020: The Year of World Kindness

Many people are upset and frustrated about the state
the world is in— the “us vs them” mentality that
dominates discourse, the increasing lack of civility,
the expanding toll climate change and pollution are
having on the environment and people’s quality of life.
Lyle Benjamin, founder of the nonprofit organization
Planned Acts of Kindness, has created a series of
innovative programs under the banner “One Planet – One
People” and declared 2020: The Year of World Kindness
with the goal of people around the world doing 1
Billion Planned Acts of Kindness. He’ll discuss
upcoming events including a series of summits around
the world featuring TEDx speakers, panel discussions
and workshops. “We’re all in this together,” Benjamin
says. “And, if we don’t start acting like we are “One
Planet – One People” 10-15 years from now the world
will be tremendously different for billions of people,
and not in a good way.” Contact Benjamin at (212)

18. ==> Do You Have 60 Seconds to Revolutionize Your
Life?

Most of us would like to change some of our behavior
patterns and create better outcomes in our personal and
professional lives. The trouble is that thinking about
making a change often feels overwhelming. It’s hard to
know where to start. Expert problem-solver, executive
and personal development coach Peggy Caruso says the
key is to take small steps when you don’t know where to
begin. Caruso will share strategies that can help you
begin making positive changes in every area of your

personal development and even dealing with elderly
loved ones. “Take the First Shot: Strategies to Fire
You Up and Change Your Life,” is the fourth book in
Caruso’s Revolutionize series. Contact her at (814)

Wouldn’t it be nice to know what is going through your
pet’s mind? If you had an animal communicator you could
turn to? Well, now you have one in Dawn Crystal. Dawn
has been healing people and animals over the air using
sound for 25 years and has been interviewed on the
radio more than 40 times; she has also been a guest on
major TV shows. Now it’s your turn to interview her and
maybe get some free advice about your own pet. For
instance, Dawn may be able to tell you why your dog is
feeling anxious, why your pet is sick but the
prescribed drugs aren’t working or why your pet just
destroyed your slippers. Contact her at (807) 907-6294;

20. ==> Undertakers Daughter: What the Dead Told Her

While growing up in a Midwestern funeral home where her
dad was an undertaker, Margo Lenmark discovered that we
can speak to the dearly departed. “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.” Many people wish they could
communicate with loved ones after they depart this
mortal coil, and she can share with audiences just how
to do that. Margo will reveal her journeys to the other

1.==> Great Veterans Day Show – Mighty Oaks Warrior
Program

Chad Robichaux, Force Recon Marine and Pro MMA
Champion, had successes and failures both in
Afghanistan and in the MMA cage, but his biggest fight
was coming home and struggling with PTSD, a near
divorce and almost becoming another veteran suicide
statistic. Invite Robichaux, now the founder/president
of the Mighty Oaks Warrior Programs, to share glimpses
of his life in special operations and professional
fighting and the spiritual battles into which he was
thrust and that nearly took his life. Chad Robichaux’s
book is “An Unfair Advantage.” A certified pastoral
counselor, he’s appeared on national radio and TV and
testified in Veterans’ Court regarding combat trauma
and PTSD. The Mighty Oaks Warrior Program is a
Christian peer-based program for veterans suffering
PTSD. Contact him at @ChadRobo;
Info@MightyOaksPrograms.org

2. ==> 5 Places Worth a Veterans Day Visit

Monday is Veterans Day, a day when Americans are
encouraged to reflect on the sacrifices of our troops
and thank those who served. For those who have off from
work and school, the travel experts at the GO Group
recommend some US Military destinations to visit. From
the National Museum of the United States Air Force in
Ohio to The Pearl Harbor Naval Base in Hawaii, there
are spots from coast to coast where you can learn
history and see artifacts and hands-on exhibits devoted
to the military. The GO Group, LLC is the nation’s
largest airport transportation provider. Contact Dyana
Flanigan at 312-213-6623; 228426@email4pr.com

3. ==> Adam Schiff is No Friend of Progressives

Stephen Zunes, a professor of politics at the
University of San Francisco, says, “(Adam) Schiff’s
record on foreign policy, civil liberties, human rights
and other key issues has often put him more in line
with Republicans than with liberal Democrats. … It is
ironic, therefore, that Trump and the Republicans are
portraying him as some kind of left-winger.” Zunes was
extensively quoted in the recently published article
“Adam Schiff Is No Friend of Progressives.” The piece
by Norman Soloman of the Institute for Public Accuracy,
notes: “Schiff is tenaciously challenging a despicable
president who should be impeached. At the same time,
while Schiff has emerged as a marquee foe of Trumpism,
we should be aware that he remains deeply enmeshed with
corporatism and militarism.” Contact Stephen Zunes at
zunes@usfca.edu; @SZunes

4.==> Funny – Behind Bars with Felicity Huffman Podcast

Felicity Huffman has been released from jail just in
time to listen to a new satirical original scripted
comedy podcast series based on her recent experience.
‘14 Days with Felicity’ follows America’s favorite
desperate housewife Felicity Huffman as she serves her
prison sentence for her role in the 2019 college
admissions scandal. Listeners get an earful hearing
about Felicity’s two weeks behind bars via a cell phone
she’s smuggled into prison. Each episode is
approximately 10 minutes long and features actors
playing Huffman’s husband William H. Macy, her
mortified daughters, Sophia and Georgia, and a whole
host of familiar figures ranging from Martha Stewart to
Lindsay Lohan. The podcast was created and written by
the comedy duo Connor Wright and Christina Friel.

5. ==> Holiday Hacks to Reclaim Your Joy

It’s not even Thanksgiving yet and you’re already
stressed out and dreading the thought of the
approaching holidays. When did the season of joy start
feeling like a marathon to be endured? The obligations,
expectations and expense! Invite Joffre McClung to help
your listeners rediscover their holiday happiness by
sharing 5 tips that will help you reclaim your holiday
spirit. She’ll discuss what to do when family
traditions become outdated or burdensome, when it’s not
only ok, but necessary to say no, and why the best gift
you give this season will make YOU feel like a million
bucks and won’t cost you a dime. McClung, a personal
growth expert and author says, “Let go of something–
hosting dinner, opening gifts or eating dinner at a
certain time of day–just because that’s how you’ve
always done it. Let go of what was and do what feels
right for you NOW.” A former media producer and
independent filmmaker, Joffre McClung has appeared on
dozens of radio and TV programs. Her latest book is
“The Heart of the Matter.” Contact Joffre McClung at
(917) 994-0225 (TX); JMcClung@rtirguests.com

6. ==> How to Pick the Perfect Holiday Wine

The holidays are a time of good cheer and celebration,
a time to break bread with family and friends, to toast
the good times of today and those yet to come. But
choosing wine can be intimidating—just ask anyone who
has spent too much time in the local wine shop trying
to decide what to buy to please their guests, or to
impress the folks on their shopping list. Give your
audience their own personal wine guide, and a fun,
informative romp— without the usual snobbery—through
the wonderful world of wine when you invite Jim
Laughren on your show. You’ll learn how to avoid the
most common wine mistakes a host can make, the secret
to choosing a wine gift and where to find wine
bargains. You’ll also learn how to inexpensively add a
touch of elegance to end any holiday meal. Jim Laughren
is a Certified Wine Educator and the author of “50 Ways
to Love Wine More: Adventures in Wine Appreciation.”

7. ==> November 15th is National Philanthropy Day: How
to Give Until it (Doesn’t!) Hurt

Imagine getting 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 literally
go to waste annually? Why not turn that waste into a
GIFT? “Most consumers don’t realize the little-known
secret that, if you or your parents qualify, you could
receive up to 50% of your death benefits in CASH by
selling your policy to the highest bidder!” says David
Kottler, the Insurance Doctor (TM.) Most alumni, for
example, would consider donating their policies to
their alma maters as a charitable gift, but
universities and colleges would much rather have the
CASH gift instead. It’s simply a more efficient way to
give to non-profits! 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 Kottler at (216) 532-1221;
DKottler@rtirguests.com

8. ==> Turning the Charity Model on Its Head

The season of giving is here and while you might want
to donate to charity, something is holding you back.
Maybe you don’t know where your money is really going,
or exactly how it’s going to help those in need. Jon
Kaufman is the creator of H2OpenDoors, a charity that
works in a different way. “It’s time to start using
our charitable gifts in a way that empowers the poorest
among us to profit, which promotes self-reliance and
actually creates a system where the recipients can MAKE
money instead of TAKE money,” says Kaufman. On your
show Kaufman will discuss how he’s disrupting the
charity model and turning the idea of giving on its
head. 100% of contributions to H2OpenDoors are used for
the acquisition, shipment and installation of water-
centric businesses in the poorest regions of the world.
Villages then use revenue from the bottling plants etc.
to fund social services in the community including
college scholarships, nutritional programs,
construction of proper latrines and classroom
expansion. Kaufman is the author of “Long Walk on a Dry
Road, the Education of a Water Warrior.” Contact him at
(650) 520-6873; jon@H2opendoors.org

9. ==> Thanksgiving Isn’t the Only Time to Be Grateful

We’re used to thinking of everything we’re grateful for
at Thanksgiving, but what about the rest of the year?
Is it difficult to feel thankful all year long and can
it really improve your outlook? Invite award-winning
screenwriter, author, TV/film producer, journalist, and
TV host Maryann Ridini Spencer to reveal why gratitude
is important for personal health and wellbeing,
improving your relationships, and how it can help
support and heal you going through life’s tough times
and transitions throughout the year. In her award-
winning novel, Lady in the Window and her soon-to-be-
published novel The Paradise Table, Spencer writes
about overcoming loss and how to find happiness in life
through gratitude, family, friendships, and community.
Her work has appeared on Hallmark Hall of Fame (CBS-
TV), the Hallmark Channel, CNN, USA, SyFy, Showtime,
PBS, and many others. Contact her at (818) 884-0104

10. ==> 7 Fall Habits to Boost Your Immunity

Being healthy isn’t season dependent, but Tony Selimi
says there are some things you can do right now that
could make this winter a little easier on your body.
Selimi, one of the leading specialists in human
behavior and the psychology of wellbeing, will share 7
fall habits that will naturally immunize your body
against disease. “Autumn is a super time to energize
your body to cope better with the winter blues so you
can be more active, productive and seductive.” From
lifestyle tweaks to psychological and physical ways to
boost immunity, Tony’s tips can help your listeners
feel healthier than ever, no matter what the season.
Tony J. Selimi is the author of “A Path to Wisdom” and
“#Loneliness – The Virus of the Modern Age,” and co-
creator of Living My Illusion- The Truth Hurts, an
award-winning documentary. Tony has appeared on over
200 TV and radio stations across the world. Contact him
at +44 &8 1717 4708; tony@tonyselimi.com

11. ==> Beyond Addiction: Other Risks of Opioids

While considerable attention has been focused in recent
years on the risks of addiction due to prescription
opioids, little attention has been paid to other
serious risks of taking opioids. These include risk of
accidental overdose due to polypharmacy or prescription
of high doses, increased risk of developing chronic
pain when used for acute pain, lowered immunity,
traffic fatalities due to opioid use, and increased
risk of falls in the elderly. Another significant risk
is that the underlying cause of the pain may never be
addressed, leading to lifelong chronic pain when
recovery might have been possible. Chronic pain expert
Cindy Perlin can discuss these risks as well as safe,
effective alternative treatments for acute and chronic
pain. Perlin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker,
certified biofeedback practitioner and chronic pain
survivor. She is the author of “The Truth About Chronic
Pain Treatments: The Best and Worst Strategies for
Becoming Pain Free” and the founder of the Alternative
Pain Treatment Directory. She has been a guest on
dozens of radio shows and podcasts. Reach her at
cindyperlin@gmail.com; (518) 439-6431.

12. ==> Psychiatrist Reveals 7 Words to Never Say When
Talking to Yourself

Interview Dr. Donald Pet about how he has helped people
break addictions, transform their lives, and radically
increase their own happiness simply by teaching them
seven “word switches.” For example, instead of telling
yourself, you “should” do something, say that you “can”
do it. Instead of saying that something “made” you
sad, tell yourself that you “allowed” it to discourage
you. Instead of saying you feel a lot of anger, tell
yourself that you feel a lot of “energy” about the
situation. These are just some of the ways Dr. Pet has
helped ordinary people break the grip of the cycle of
common emotions to increase their own levels of
personal joy and fulfillment. Pet is the founder of
lovingmenow.org. His course is completely free and is
designed to have you become a much more loving person.

13. ==> How Animals and Nature Improve Mental &
Physical Health

You should get exercise and eat all the right foods to
try and stay healthy, but Richard Louv says being a
nature lover can dramatically boost your mental and
physical health. Louv, a journalist and co-founder of
the Children & Nature Network, will reveal how dogs can
teach children ethical behavior, how animals in urban
areas are blurring the lines between the domestic and
the wild, and what role the human-animal relationship
plays in our spiritual well-being. He can explore
urgent topics such as biodiversity, inter-species
health, and unprecedented conservation practices –
including the proposal to set aside half of the planet
for nature and wildlife and the assisted migration of
invasive species. Louv’s Children & Nature Network
supports a new nature movement. His latest book is “Our
Wild Calling: How Connecting with Animals Can Transform
our Lives—and Save Theirs.” Contact Johanna Ramos Boyer
at (703) 646-5137; (703) 400-1099 (cell);
johanna@jrbcomm.com or Erin Bolden at (703) 646-5188.

14. ==> Beauty Pageants Have Evolved for the Better

Beauty pageants traditionally were all about physical
appearances, and the participants were often portrayed
as vapid Barbie Dolls. But not anymore. “Accomplished
women are expected to be intelligent, skilled, poised
and attractive today which is reflected in media, and
even ‘beauty’ pageants,” says director/filmmaker and
author Kailin Gow. “Being strong is being beautiful.
This is being reflected in the Miss America Pageant’s
elimination of the swimsuit competition, transgender
pageants, the Miss Amazing Pageant for disabled women
and other, non-traditional celebrations of women that
go beyond focusing on mere physical beauty.” Kailin has
written hundreds of Young Adult books. She’s also a
director/filmmaker and the founder of Sparklesoup Inc.
She is also the author of “Raising a Strong Daughter:
What Fathers Should Know.” Contact Kailin at
KGow@rtirguests.com; (617) 582-2121.

15. ==> Conversation Crisis: How Convenience Has Ruined
Connection (and What to Do about It!)

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 how 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. His novel is “Eye of the Moon.”

16. ==> Animal Communicator Tells All about Your Pet

Wouldn’t it be nice to know what is going through your
pet’s mind? If you had an animal communicator you could
turn to? Well, now you have one in Dawn Crystal. Dawn
has been healing people and animals over the air using
sound for 25 years and has been interviewed on the
radio more than 40 times; she has also been a guest on
major TV shows. Now it’s your turn to interview her and
maybe get some free advice about your own pet. For
instance, Dawn may be able to tell you why your dog is
feeling anxious, why your pet is sick but the
prescribed drugs aren’t working or why your pet just
destroyed your slippers. Contact her at (807) 907-6294;
DCrystal@rtirguests.com

17. ==> Her Dad Was an Undertaker – This is What She
Learned

While growing up in a Midwestern funeral home where her
dad was an undertaker, Margo Lenmark discovered that we
can speak to the dearly departed. “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.” Many people wish they could
communicate with loved ones after they depart this
mortal coil, and she can share with audiences just how
to do that. Margo will reveal her journeys to the other
side, experiences she’s 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.

18. ==> 2020: The Year of World Kindness

Many people are upset and frustrated about the state
the world is in— the “us vs them” mentality that
dominates discourse, the increasing lack of civility,
the expanding toll climate change and pollution are
having on the environment and people’s quality of life.
Lyle Benjamin, founder of the nonprofit organization
Planned Acts of Kindness, has created a series of
innovative programs under the banner “One Planet – One
People” and declared 2020: The Year of World Kindness
with the goal of people around the world doing 1
Billion Planned Acts of Kindness. He’ll discuss
upcoming events including a series of summits around
the world featuring TEDx speakers, panel discussions
and workshops. “We’re all in this together,” Benjamin
says. “And, if we don’t start acting like we are “One
Planet – One People” 10-15 years from now the world
will be tremendously different for billions of people,
and not in a good way.” Contact Benjamin at (212)

Help@PlannedActs.Org

19. ==> Revolutionize Your Life in 60 Seconds

Most of us would like to change some of our behavior
patterns and create better outcomes in our personal and
professional lives. The trouble is that thinking about
making a change often feels overwhelming. It’s hard to
know where to start. Expert problem-solver, executive
and personal development coach Peggy Caruso says the
key is to take small steps when you don’t know where to
begin. Caruso will share strategies that can help you
begin making positive changes in every area of your
life from relationships and parenting to health,
personal development and even dealing with elderly
loved ones. “Take the First Shot: Strategies to Fire
You Up and Change Your Life,” is the fourth book in
Caruso’s Revolutionize series. Contact her at (814)

20. ==> The One Trait that Leads to Unimaginable
Success

So you think you have to be brilliant, gifted and in
the right place at the right time in order to be wildly
successful in life? Kim Chestney says, “Not so!” She
says virtually everyone has the ability to attain goals
beyond their wildest imaginings thanks to the one
innate trait that all humans possess: Intuition!
“Intuition is the most important, yet least understood
faculty of human consciousness. 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.” Kim is an
international best-selling author and intuition expert
who founded the popular CREATE! Festival in Pittsburgh,
Pa. Her new global online Intuition school,
IntuitionLab is up and running. Contact Kim at

=======================================

1. ==> 2020: The Stakes

Invite columnist and American Prospect cofounder Robert
Kuttner on your show to discuss the upcoming 2020
Presidential election, what’s at stake, and why he
believes it will be a key moment in the history of
American democracy. Kuttner will explain how the Trump
administration has seriously eroded many of the
bulwarks of American-style democracy. The damage can be
reversed, but it’s not enough that Democrats beat
Trump, Kuttner contends; they must win and govern as
economic progressives. He’ll explain why it’s the only
stance that can bridge potentially fatal schisms of
race and identity, and rebuild an economy of broad
prosperity. Kuttner’s new book is “The Stakes: 2020 and
the Survival of American Democracy.” Contact Johanna
Ramos Boyer at (703) 646-5137; (703) 400-1099 (cell);
johanna@jrbcomm.com or Erin Bolden at (703) 646-5188.

2. ==> How America Elected a White Supremacist

According to author Jess Row, white centrist Democrats
and liberals have no idea of the magnitude of racial
resentment and white nationalism in the country, in
part because of the suburban sprawl of the 1970s which
keeps white and nonwhite Americans physically and
psychically apart. Row says many white liberals are
unable to grasp that racism has become a national
emergency, undoing the social fabric and the democratic
institutions of the United States. He says, “This is
especially true among the kind of white people I spend
most of my time with — professionals, academics,
businesspeople — whose lives haven’t gotten measurably
worse in the last two years, and in some cases, because
of the booming stock market, have improved. If you
travel in those circles, it’s still possible to believe
life is good.” He says Trump’s supporters, on the other
hand, are committed to a radical transformation of
American society and politics from which there is no
going back. He believes we are in the early stages of
either an authoritarian consolidation of power or a
civil war, or both. Jess Row is the author of “White
Flights: Race, Fiction, and the American Imagination”
He teaches at the College of New Jersey. Contact him at
(609) 771-2363; row@tcnj.edu

3. ==> The Mysterious, Outrageous Death of Jeffrey
Epstein

Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide at the Metropolitan
Correctional Center (MCC) in lower Manhattan this
weekend leaves many unanswered questions. Ongoing
investigations will explore whether MCC is among the
nation’s worst-run federal pretrial facilities, and/or
whether Epstein may have had some desired (or unwanted)
help in ending his life and escaping his day in court.
Investigative journalist Judith Miller says, “I shun
conspiracy theories—but based on the little that prison
officials have said so far, and what I know of life in
jail, Epstein’s death is deeply troubling. No one
should die of unnatural causes in jail. In a well-
managed facility, no one would.” says Judith Miller.
“However lurid the charges against him and perverse the
nature of his alleged crimes, Epstein’s death behind
bars should trouble every American. The investigations
must not rest until what happened is revealed.” Judith
Miller, is a Fox News contributor, an adjunct fellow at
the Manhattan Institute and a contributing editor of
its magazine, City Journal. She was formerly a Pulitzer
Prize-winning investigative reporter for The New York
Times. Her latest book is “The Story: A Reporter’s
Journey.” Contact her at (212) 599-7000; @JMfreespeech

4. ==> Is Big Tech Headed for a Big Break-Up?

The U.S. Justice Department recently announced a major
antitrust investigation into unnamed tech giants, and
the House Judiciary Committee has begun an
unprecedented antitrust probe into Google, Facebook,
Amazon and Apple over their aggressive business
practices, and promises “a top-to-bottom review of the
market power held by giant tech platforms.” Invite Jim
Rumford to reveal surprising parallels to U.S. history
and why he believes Donald Trump is the next Teddy
Roosevelt when it comes to trust busting. He’ll discuss
the history that led to the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of
1890, how that is being repeated today, and ways
monopolies, big government and big corporations stick
together at the expense of middle- and working-class
people. Rumford is the author of “Tobacco, Trusts, and
Trump: How America’s Forgotten War Created Big
Government.” Rumford’s great-grandfather was a tobacco
buyer at the time the tobacco wars started. Rumford’s
own interest in the topic was piqued by his ancestor’s
scrapbook of newspaper articles of the day. Reach him

5. ==> Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the 60s
Revolution That Changed the World

The 50th anniversary of Woodstock has 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
author of 17 books including “Maharishi & Me: Seeking
Enlightenment with the Beatles’ Guru.” She has done
over 1,000 media appearances. Contact her at (917)

7. ==> Vacations Can Be Deadly for Marriage

A University of Washington study a few years ago found
the number of divorces spike in August and March,
coinciding with the end of vacation season; researchers
theorized that marital splits were occurring after the
intimacy couples expected from their vacations failed
to materialize. During the 15 years that Beth Liebling
was a divorce attorney, she noticed the spike too, and
kept it in mind when she switched gears and
professions. Now a relationship expert, Liebling helps
couples rediscover what it means to passionately love
each other A firm believer that monogamy shouldn’t mean
monotony, she’ll share ways to regain that ‘teenager-
in-love’ feeling, how to stop having BMS (boring,
married sex) or ABC Sex (Anniversary, Birthday, and
Christmas Sex), and why men should not be afraid of
vibrators and women should buy men underwear. Ask about
her upcoming Couples Camp, a 3-day, high-end luxury
camp in Orlando this October. Beth Liebling is the
author of “Love and Laughter: Sexy (Meaningful) Fun for
Everyone.” She’s the host of Love and Laughter with
Beth, a radio talk show that first aired on ESPN.

8. ==> Why Men Need Equal Rights Too!

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

9. ==> Why More and More People Are Dreaming about
Donald Trump

On any given day, we hear 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 Trump win (or lose) the 2020 election? Could other
candidates literally capture our imaginations this way?

10. ==> Should You Adopt a Frozen Embryo?

Countless couples long for their first child or to
expand their families — yet fertility issues or other
health-related concerns could be interfering. Such
would-be parents often consider adoption, yet still
hope to experience the miracle of giving birth. With
today’s fertility technologies, many couples can do
both. Interview Nate Birt to learn how he and his wife
welcomed their sweet daughter, Phoebe, who started as a
frozen embryo but was implanted, brought to term and
delivered by the Birts last year. Invite Nate to share
his heartwarming family adoption story and help other
couples by exploring questions like: How do you find
available resources and experts for adopting embryos?
What does it take to qualify? How does the process
work? How can this path to parenthood change our
beliefs about the unborn? Nate is the author of
“Frozen, But Not Forgotten: An Adoptive Dad’s Step-by-
Step Guide to Embryo Adoption.” Contact Nate Birt at

11. ==> Just in Time for Back to School: Simplify Your
Life

What happened to the lazy, hazy days of summer? Today,
even the dog days of summer have become a race to the
finish. Instead of having the summer to regroup and get
refreshed, most families find they need a “vacation
from their vacation!” Instead of heading into a new
school year raring to go – many parents feel
overwhelmed and stressed out. Interview Jennifer
Cochern, LCPC, to learn how to truly get refreshed
before Labor Day Weekend! Ever wish you didn’t feel so
overwhelmed and busy that you become paralyzed? She’ll
show you how to notice what’s most important to you and
your family based on your values and purpose. She’ll
teach your audience how to say three of the most
important words in the English language (No, thank you)
and how that phrase can empower you (and your kids!) to
start living a simpler, more authentic life. Jennifer
Cochern, LCPC is a counselor who’s worked with hundreds
of clients promoting personal growth and healthier
relationship skills. She’s the author of “Alignment:
Move from Internal Chaos to Clarity.” Contact Jennifer
Cochern at (208) 817-2870; JCochern@rtirguests.com

12. ==> 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
her at (256) 665-6257; rachel@rachelwilliamssmith.com

13. ==> 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. He’ll
help countless appreciative moms and dads understand
what’s going on inside themselves to better develop the
potential within their children. Invite call-in
questions and parenting insights/concerns to explore.

14. ==> Your Kids are a Pain in the Neck: Are You the
Reason?

Your kids are making you nuts and your blood pressure
is sky-rocketing. It’s not their fault. It’s because
YOU can’t control your body’s chemical reaction to
parental anxiety that’s actually making things more
stressful and making things more tense. It’s also why
the back of your neck is in knots; your spine is
killing you and you are in constant physical misery.
But all is not lost. You can train your body to control
its reaction to stress. Noted spine surgeon Dr. David
Hanscom will explain how and also discuss how Western
medicine’s answer to stress has led to drug abuse,
gratuitous surgeries and just plain bad-doctoring for
adults and kids alike. Hanscom, author of “Back in
Control: A Surgeon’s Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain” will
share research-based evidence about the direct
connection between powerful stress hormones and
physical pain. An in-demand speaker and talk-show
guest, including The Dr. Oz Show and Fox News, Hanscom
will also provide real stress-busting solutions to get
parents off painkillers and substances to relieve
parental stress. Contact him dhanscom@rtirguests.com
(206) 890-1892.

15. ==> Are Mass Murderers Formed in the Crib?

In recent weeks Americans were shocked again by mass
murders with high death tolls in Dayton, Ohio, and El
Paso, Texas, carried out by men in their twenties. As a
nation, we continue to grapple with why these incidents
happen. However, many people are being told that mental
health issues cause this horrible violence. Media
veteran and child-rearing expert Emily Slingluff can
discuss ways to influence children’s formative years
toward happiness instead of hatred and despair. Emily
is the author of multiple books and articles about
parenting. She was named The Fulltime Homemaker of the
Year for the State of Virginia by Phyllis Schlafly and
Eagle Forum shortly after her first book, “A Present to
the Newborn,” came out. She is a graduate of Sweet
Briar College with a degree in government and economics
and was an assistant editor of The Virginian-Pilot.

16. ==> Does it Pay to Be Ethical in Business? 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. Smith is 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 John Smith at (214)

to Howard Stern to many of your own colleagues and
friends) who meditate daily? How will this benefit you
by reducing stress and avoiding stress-related
ailments, from headaches to heart problems and from
arthritis to asthma? How does meditation help in

18. ==> 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 at (305) 933-6088; berrahghoulem@icloud.com

19. ==> What’s It Like to Have an Immortal Co-Author?

We all hope our works, writings and influence will last
forever. But with an immortal associate – God – one can
actually see that happen. Interview Al Collins, who was
asked by God Himself to co-author the extraordinary
book: “The Way- Visit Heaven Whenever You Want.” With
such a remarkable journey, Al has uncovered the ancient
keys to crossing over, at will, to visit God in Heaven
without dying! Interview Al to hear about his tours of
Heaven and its amazing wonders, and how God taught The
Way. Appreciative audiences will hear Al explore
powerful questions like: Why did God create us? Are WE
immortal? How do you obtain incredible success in
earthly life? What really comes next? What special
messages might God have for us now and later? Why did
God choose Al as a co-author? Contact Al Collins at

20. ==> How Your Color-Coded Name Can Make You Rich

How did Oprah Winfrey, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and other
self-made billionaires become so wildly successful?
According to Name Colorology expert B.P. Greycastle, it
took more than just brains, hard work and talent. B.P.
will prove, with facts, figures and other indisputable
evidence, that 90 percent of the richest people in the
world became successful because of their color-coded
names. He’ll explain how your name affects every aspect
of your life and the number one reason why the most
famous and successful people in practically every major
career field have found success. B.P. worked in the

1. ==> Round Two: Debate Winners and Losers

The overflowing pool of 20+ Democrats is about to
narrow, based on what happens tonight and tomorrow in
the 2nd round of Democratic debates. Communication
expert Paul Hellman can 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

2. ==> Conservative Pundit: Why the Left Pushes for Open Borders

In a new column for The American Spectator,
conservative cultural commentator Larry Alex Taunton
writes, “Contrary to what many believe, advocates of
the open-borders policy now being championed by just
about every left-of-center politician in the Western
world are not blind to Islam’s penchant for violence.
They know it very well. It is, rather, that they are
gambling everything — or should I say everyone? — on a
grand, continental-sized social experiment that is
based, in part, on the ideas of Austrian philosopher
Karl Popper and his seminal work The Open Society and
its Enemies (1945).” On your show Taunton will discuss
the Dept. of Justice’s quietly announced arrest of
Mustafa Mousab Alowemer who according to FBI reports
was planning an “ISI-inspired attack on a church in
Pittsburgh,” and outline what he believes truly open
borders could mean. Contact Johanna Ramos Boyer at

3. ==> Life-Saving Tips: How to Survive a Public Shooting

It happened again this weekend. Another gunman opened
fire in public, this time at the Gilroy Garlic Festival
south of San Francisco. Officials say 4 people
including the shooter died at the scene and 15 others
were injured. How would you react if caught in a public
place where streams of bullets put you in mortal
danger? Would you know how to escape an active
shooter’s attack? Should you fight back? Play dead?
Run? Stay locked in a room, closet or car? Shield
others? Use special tactics to protect yourself? And
what should your kids know? Explore the vital answers
with personal protection specialist Allen Banks, CEO of
Proactive Protection Agency. He has developed Active
Shooter Prevention and Workplace Violence Prevention
Training, and also a special program for schools and
other public settings. In this era of violent attacks
and even terrorism, you and your loved ones and
colleagues will want to hear this specialist’s life-
saving insights and advice. Invite audience questions!

4. ==> 50th Anniversary – The Real Motive for Manson Murders

On August 9, 1969, Ivor Davis, an investigative
journalist for the London Daily Express, was at the
Tate LA Bianca murder scene before noon, surrounded by
the Los Angeles and foreign press. He followed the case
intently and interviewed Manson Family members, and ex-
members, gathering an intricate picture of the cult and
its charismatic leader, Charles Manson. Before the
trial began in the summer of 1970, Davis co-authored
the first book published on the Tate murders, “Five to
Die.” Sitting in the front row of the courtroom, he
says he was flabbergasted to hear the prosecutor’s
opening statement that it was the Beatles’ White Album
and the secret messages inside songs like Helter
Skelter that turned the young cult members into
murders. David says, “I knew that Manson had an
obsession with the Beatles, especially the White Album,
but from my several days of interviews with family
members at the Spahn Ranch, I learned the real reasons
for the murders. And it had nothing to do with the
Beatles.” Invite Ivor Davis on your show and learn the
real reason for the murders, why the Helter Skelter
theory was used by prosecutors, and many unknown
aspects of the gruesome story. Ivor Davis’ new book is
“Manson Exposed: A Reporter’s 50-Year Journey into
Madness and Murder.” Contact Kathleen Kaiser at (805)
607-6717 or Kathleen@kathleenkaiser.com

5. ==> Hidden in Plain Sight: The World of Sex Trafficking

The charges against billionaire financier Jeffrey
Epstein underscore the prevalence of human trafficking
and how it often goes undetected and unpunished
according to Raleigh Sadler, a Christian reverend and
founder of the human trafficking awareness group Let My
People Go. He says the situation is complicated, and
insidious. “Human trafficking is far more prevalent
than the general public realizes, and it can affect
virtually any community.” Raleigh says awareness is
part of the problem, along with inaccurate information.
“Currently, most who are trafficked come through legal
points of entry,” he reveals. “As we focus on those
illegally crossing the border, we miss the reality that
many who are undocumented and already in the U.S. are
potential targets of would-be traffickers.” Raleigh
Sadler is the author of “Vulnerable: Rethinking Human
Trafficking.” Contact him at RSadler@rtirguests.com;
(917) 341-6758.

6. ==> First Week of August: Simplify Your Life Week

Whatever happened to those lazy, hazy days of summer?
Ever wish you didn’t feel so overwhelmed and busy that
you become paralyzed? Even the dog days of summer have
become a race to the finish! Instead of having the
summer to regroup and get refreshed, most families find
they need a “vacation from their vacation!” Instead of
heading into a new school year raring to go – most
families feel overwhelmed and stressed out. Interview
Jennifer Cochern, LCPC, to learn how to truly get
refreshed before Labor Day Weekend! She will show you
how to notice what’s most important to you and your
family based on your values and purpose. She’ll teach
your audience how to say three of the most important
words in the English language (No, thank you) and how
that phrase can empower you (and your kids!) to start
living a simpler, more authentic life. Jennifer

7. ==> Are Tech Giants Headed for a Break-Up?

The U.S. Justice Department announced a major antitrust
investigation into unnamed tech giants, and the House
Judiciary Committee has begun an unprecedented
antitrust probe into Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple
over their aggressive business practices, and promises
“a top-to-bottom review of the market power held by
giant tech platforms.” Invite Jim Rumford to reveal
surprising parallels to U.S. history and why he
believes Donald Trump is the next Teddy Roosevelt when
it comes to trust busting. He’ll discuss the history
that led to the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890, how
that is being repeated today, and ways monopolies, big
government and big corporations stick together at the
expense of middle- and working-class people. Rumford is
the author of “Tobacco, Trusts, and Trump: How
America’s Forgotten War Created Big Government.”
Rumford’s great-grandfather was a tobacco buyer at the
time the tobacco wars started. Rumford’s own interest
in the topic was piqued by his ancestor’s scrapbook of
newspaper articles of the day. Reach him through
Stephanie at (937) 272-8155; stephanie@rumfordgroup.com

8. ==> Time for a Summer Road Trip?

Millions of Americans are hitting the road this summer
looking for adventure! Most will come home with
pictures and stories, but some, like Jenni Raney
Edwards, may find the experience totally life-changing.
Invite her to share how what began as a solo cross-
country adventure in her SUV turned into a love affair
with the open road, and led to her selling her home and
most of her possessions to hit the road in a 40-foot
Class A motorhome—despite having relatively little RV
experience! A successful businesswoman and
entrepreneur, Edwards traded in her office for an RV
and says she has no regrets. Jenni Raney Edwards is the
author of “Bumping Down Highways: From Boardrooms to
Back Roads in an RV.” She’s also the founder of Norsk
Tiny Houses, designing and building the first LEED
Certified Tiny House on Wheels. Jenni Raney Edwards is

9. ==> Health Hacks to Beat Text-Neck (It’s a Real Epidemic)

We love our smartphones and tablets, but health
professionals say they’re causing an epidemic of ‘text-
neck’ among adults and children. Nathalie Beauchamp,
D.C., IFMCP, an Ottawa-based doctor of chiropractic and
certified functional medicine practitioner with the
Institute of Functional Medicine, says looking down at
your device for hours at a time changes the position of
your head and neck, causing poor posture. She’ll
explain how that can lead to health problems like
headaches, a flattened spinal curve, disc damage,
muscle damage and reduced blood flow to the brain.
Invite her on your show and learn what your head has in
common with a bowling ball, ways to use your phone that
are kind to your spine and hacks to help compensate for
a sedentary life, like standing desks, walking meetings
and scheduling time to move. Dr. Nathalie Beauchamp has
appeared on numerous radio and TV programs and writes
about health and wellness for a variety of
publications. She has her own YouTube channel and is
the founder of the weekly “What the Hack?!” podcast.
Dr. Beauchamp’s latest book is “Hack Your Health
Habits: Simple Action-Driven, Natural Health Solutions
for People On the Go!” Contact her at (613) 852-1770;
drnathalie@drnathaliebeauchamp.com

10. ==> New Hope for Concussion Sufferers

The U.S. is currently in the midst of a concussion
epidemic with 5 million cases diagnosed annually.
Despite what you might think, it’s not just football
players who are sustaining these potentially life-
changing brain injuries, it is ordinary adults and
children. The good news is that there are effective
treatments available which reverse the symptoms of a
concussion by correcting the underlying mechanisms of
injury to the brain. So says Paul Henry Wand, M.D., a
neurologist with extensive expertise in diagnosing and
treating all types of concussions. Dr. Wand can
describe how a concussion should be diagnosed and
treated based on the findings of two diagnostic tests
and how even concussions sustained years ago can be
treated! Dr. Paul Wand is the author of “The Concussion
Cure: 3 Proven Methods to Heal Your Brain.” He is
currently seeking funding to perform the first-ever
clinical trial of an FDA-approved protocol that may
reverse all the symptoms of concussion. Contact Dr.
Wand at (954) 344-9772; Paulwandmd@gmail.com

11. ==> Protecting Kids from EMF

Electromagnetic radiation from cellphone towers,
cellphones, and other electronic appliances is
everywhere. Although there have been more than 10,000
global scientific studies done on the health impacts of
EMFs, most of us remain blissfully unaware of the
dangers. So what do parents need to do to protect their
children? For the answer, interview Beverly Jensen,
Ph.D. Dr. Jensen will discuss actions to take to reduce
electromagnetic radiation in your home to protect
yourself and your children and discuss whether that
cellphone tower near your house should concern you. She
can offer your listeners a link to her free eBook,
“Protecting Our Children from EMR.” Dr. Jensen is a
life-long practitioner of the natural healing arts and
author of the forthcoming book “21st Century Wellness
Rx: Health Hacks to Prevent & Cure Chronic Disease.”

12. ==> Ground-Breaking Approach 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

13. ==> Expert to New Grads: How Your Name Determines
Your Career Path

So you just graduated from college and are ready to
launch an exciting career. According to critically
acclaimed author and Name Colorology expert B.P.
Greycastle, it’s not enough to have lots of impressive
academic achievements under your belt. “Our names and
the colors that we wear have a great impact on
achieving success in our lives,” he says. He can tell
job seekers how to impress prospective employers during
interviews by telling them exactly what to wear and say
on the basis of the employer’s name. He can also supply
testimonials from those he helped land great careers.
“I can show with a tremendous amount of evidence, facts
and figures that our color-coded names are the number
one factor in determining our careers, with lists of
the most successful people in over 40 major career
fields who became successful because of their names.”

14. ==> 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.

15. ==> 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 the
critically acclaimed book Light in the Mourning:
Memoirs of an Undertaker’s Daughter. The book has
received glowing reviews from a number of prominent
authors and spiritual leaders including Deepak Chopra.

16. ==> Why You Should 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.

17. ==> Step Up and Mentor a Dad-less Boy

As a divorced dad to two young boys, Pastor Eric
Hawthorne knows how important it is for boys to have
male role models. Since 81 percent of all single parent
households are headed by moms, he sees a real need for
men to get involved with the young males in their
communities. “There is a severe fatherhood deficit in
our society,” he says. “I see young kids out on the
street, doing drugs because nine times out of 10, their
fathers are absent.” Eric can share what men can do to
mentor the young boys in their communities, and how
this benefits society as a whole. “We need more
interaction between the church, the YMCA and other
programs through which men can help them to learn
manhood. It will impact society for the long haul and
help to keep boys out of trouble.” Pastor Eric is the
second-generation pastor of Daystar Deliverance
Ministries in Richardson, Texas, the author of the
upcoming book “Are You Ready for Marriage?” Contact:
Eric at (214) 225-0769; EHawthorne@rtirguests.com

18. ==> Domestic Violence’s Far Reaching Fall-Out

According to domestic violence awareness advocate Curt
Lindsley, “Domestic violence doesn’t just affect the
physical victims; it tears at the very fabric of entire
communities.” He’ll explain how domestic violence can
impact a company’s bottom line due to lost
productivity, cause long-term health problems in
victims, spill over to schools and workplaces, and
involve innumerable police hours. Thus, he says, a
multi-pronged approach is needed to tackle this madness
head on. Curt will share how communities, organizations
and individuals can come together to curtail this
epidemic, starting today. Curt is the founder of the
nonprofit domestic violence awareness group Go Purple
USA, sponsor of Go Purple Day™ (Oct. 1); and co-founder
of the Covington Domestic Violence Task Force, official
sponsor of Purple Light Nights®. Contact Curt at

19. ==> How Science and Spirituality Can Bring More Abundance

According to author and scientist David. L. Peters,
“Abundance is not more money or ‘things.’ Abundance is
a life of joy and happiness, under all conditions that
life sends you, the good or the not-so-good.” David has
spent 84 years living a joyful and abundant life,
immersed in science and spirituality where he has found
that one supports the other. “The pathway of the 12
steps leads to joy and happiness even under devastating
conditions.” David 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. He is the author of “The 12 Steps to Joy and
Happiness: Finding the Kingdom of God that Lies
Within.” Contact David at DPeters@rtirguests.com; (607)

20. ==> 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 authored 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;

=======================================

1. ==> Mueller’s Greatest Failing is Trump’s Greatest
Triumph

It was all Robert Mueller all day yesterday as the
former special counsel sat for hours taking questions
from lawmakers on his investigation and subsequent
report into Russian interference in the 2016
presidential election. Former US attorney Harry Litman
says the probe has fallen well short of full justice,
but there is now a far grimmer problem. He writes, “The
efforts by Russia to disrupt the 2016 election, and the
Trump team’s efforts to subvert Mueller’s probe, are
matters of national import along the lines of 9/11 or
the Kennedy assassination. In those instances, we had
national commissions to get at the truth. It is awful
to contemplate that so many of the facts surrounding
what happened in 2016 and after might remain forever
the stuff of conjecture by historians rather than
testimony by witnesses. Here lies Trump’s greatest
triumph and Mueller’s greatest failing.” Harry Litman,
a Washington Post contributing columnist, is a former
U.S. attorney and deputy assistant attorney general. He
teaches constitutional law and national security law at
the University of California at Los Angeles School of
Law and the University of California at San Diego
Department of Political Science. He is a regular
commentator on MSNBC, CNN and Fox News and is the
creator and executive producer of the “Talking Feds”
podcast. Contact him at hlitman@constantinecannon.com;
(415) 639-4001 or @harrylitman

2. ==> Is Big Tech Headed for a Big Break-Up?

The U.S. Justice Department has announced a major
antitrust investigation into unnamed tech giants, and
the House Judiciary Committee has begun an
unprecedented antitrust probe into Google, Facebook,
Amazon and Apple over their aggressive business
practices, and promises “a top-to-bottom review of the
market power held by giant tech platforms.” Invite Jim
Rumford to reveal surprising parallels to U.S. history
and why he believes Donald Trump is the next Teddy
Roosevelt when it comes to trust busting. He’ll discuss
the history that led to the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of
1890, how that is being repeated today, and ways
monopolies, big government and big corporations stick
together at the expense of middle- and working-class
people. Rumford is the author of “Tobacco, Trusts, and
Trump: How America’s Forgotten War Created Big
Government.” Rumford’s great-grandfather was a tobacco
buyer at the time the tobacco wars started. Rumford’s
own interest in the topic was piqued by his ancestor’s
scrapbook of newspaper articles of the day. Reach him
through Stephanie at (937) 272-8155;
stephanie@rumfordgroup.com

3. ==> A Day at the Beach Could Make You Sick!

Before you head to the beach this summer, you might
want to double-check the water conditions. According to
a new report, nearly 60% of more than 4-thousand
beaches tested across the US last year had unsafe water
pollution levels that put swimmers at risk of getting
sick. High fecal levels were found at more than 2-
thousand beaches in 29 coastal and Great Lakes states
from Maine to Hawaii. “Swimming at the beach is a prime
summertime joy for millions of Americans, but clearly
we have more work to do to make sure water at all our
beaches is safe,” says John Rumpler, director of
Environment America’s Clean Water Program. “We must
invest in water infrastructure that prevents pollution
to ensure that America’s waterways are safe for
swimming.” The report includes recommendations
including rain barrels, rooftop gardens, permeable
pavement, and urban green space that can all absorb
storm water runoff and prevent sewage overflows.
Congress is currently considering legislation to
increase funding for such “green infrastructure”
projects. Contact John Rumpler at (617) 747-4306.

4. ==> Hiding in Fear: Immigrants are Anxious, Even
Legal Ones

The Trump Administration has been touting an
immigration enforcement campaign titled “Operation
Border Resolve,” promising the program would deport
“millions” of illegal immigrants from the US. Although
the campaign has only resulted in 35 arrests, immigrant
families across the country—legal and illegal—are
frightened, anxious, and changing the way they go about
their daily lives. A new study by the Urban Institute
found that many immigrants are increasingly avoiding
routine activities, such as interacting with teachers
or school officials, health care providers, and the
police. The report says that poses risks for their
well-being and the communities in which they live.
Hamutal Bernstein is a senior research associate at the
Urban Institute, a non-profit economic and social
policy research organization. Contact her at (202)

5. ==> Does it Pay to Be Ethical in Business? 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. Smith is 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 John Smith at (214)
216-2199; JSmith@rtirguests.com

6. ==> 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

7. ==> Making College Transition Better (for Everyone!)

In a few weeks, nearly 20 million students will head
off to college. 60% of them will struggle with
homesickness, depression and feeling overwhelmed and
many parents will find themselves feeling depressed and
anxious. “There are simple things that parents and
students can do now to help them prepare for this
transition in August,” say Lindy and Tom Schneider.
Invite America’s College Advisors to share their Ten
Tip Transition Strategy with your audience… ensuring a
better year for everyone! Professional college advisors
for more than 15 years, the Schneiders have been
featured on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, the CW and Inside
Edition. They are co-authors of “College Secrets of
Highly Successful People.” Contact Lindy Schneider at

8. ==> 50th Anniversary of Moon Landing

Great show for the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11
moon landing! Invite NASA expert and space historian
Rod Pyle to share an exciting behind-the-scenes look at
America’s journey to the Moon—from the space race to
the landing on the Sea of Tranquility to splashdown on
Earth and the aftermath. Vice President Mike Pence
recently promised the National Space Council that
Americans will return to the moon by 2024. Pyle can
also discuss the likelihood of that and share a glimpse
at the next few decades of spaceflight and NASA’s long-
term plans for exploration, utilization, and
settlement. Rod Pyle worked at NASA’s Jet Propulsion
Laboratory and the Johnson Space Center and has
produced numerous documentaries for the History Channel
and Discovery Communications, including the acclaimed
Modern Marvels: Apollo 11. He’s the author of more than
a dozen books including “First on the Moon: The Apollo
11 50th Anniversary Experience,” the incredible story
of the first men on the Moon. Contact him at (626)

9. ==> It’s Not Just Billionaires – The Hidden World of
Sex Trafficking

The charges against billionaire financier Jeffrey
Epstein underscore the prevalence of human trafficking
and how it often goes undetected and unpunished
according to Raleigh Sadler, a Christian reverend and
founder of the human trafficking awareness group Let My
People Go. He says the situation is complicated, and
insidious. “Human trafficking is far more prevalent
than the general public realizes, and it can affect
virtually any community.” Raleigh says awareness is
part of the problem, along with inaccurate information.
“Currently, most who are trafficked come through legal
points of entry,” he reveals. “As we focus on those
illegally crossing the border, we miss the reality that
many who are undocumented and already in the U.S. are
potential targets of would-be traffickers.” Raleigh
Sadler is the author of “Vulnerable: Rethinking Human
Trafficking.” Contact him at RSadler@rtirguests.com;
(917) 341-6758.

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.
He is the author of “You’ve Got 8 Seconds:
Communication Secrets for a Distracted World” (AMACOM).

11. ==> How to 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.”

935-6348.

12. ==> Sustainable Summer Fun!

Summer is a time for fun in the sun, backyard
barbecues, trips to the beach and other outdoor
activities. But did you know that the activities and
objects we use, purchase and enjoy in summer might
actually harm the planet? According to author and
environmental engineer Yasmin Davar: “Single use
straws, not properly disposing of trash, buying patio
furniture made from illegally logged wood and
purchasing more food than we consume can have a very
negative impact on the world environment. If we can all
change small habits to be more environmentally
friendly, this can have a positive impact on the entire
plant.” Yasmin can discuss how our small, seemingly
harmless habits can have devastating impact on the
entire planet, and how we can change this. In addition
to being an environmental engineer, Yasmin holds a
Master of International Studies degree in peace and
conflict resolution and is the author of “Our Peaceful
Planet: Healing Ourselves and the World for a
Sustainable Future.” Contact Yasmin at
YDavar@rtirguests.com

13. ==> 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

14. ==> 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;
chall@rtirguests.com

15. ==> Why Domestic Violence Hurts Everyone

According to domestic violence awareness advocate Curt
Lindsley, “This doesn’t just affect the victims; 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. Thus, a multi-
pronged approach is needed to tackle this madness head
on. Curt can share how communities, organizations and
individuals can come together to curtail this epidemic,
starting today. Curt is the founder of the nonprofit
domestic violence awareness group Go Purple USA,
sponsor of Go Purple Day™ (Oct. 1); and co-founder of
the Covington Domestic Violence Task Force, official
sponsor of Purple Light Nights®. Contact Curt at
clindsley@rtirguests.com; (256) 213-1092.

16. ==> Author Reveals How to Heal from a Broken Heart

We’re all going to suffer from loss and heartbreak at
some point, but how can we speed up the healing process
so we can move on with our lives? Maryann Ridini
Spencer, award-winning author of Lady in the Window and
the soon-to-be-published novel The Paradise Table,
writes about healing from loss and heartbreak and
offers valuable ideas and tips to find balance and
happiness every day. Invite her to share how your

17. ==> 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;

18. ==> Do a Show on How Love Conquers All

Do a show on the incredible true story of a son who,
after 20 years, learns that his estranged birth mother
is actually 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 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 also the tale of another mother—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
speaker. He has spoken to millions and has been
featured on over 100 radio and TV shows. His story has
been seen multiple times on ABC and NBC Philadelphia
and Fox News Washington, DC. Contact Marty at (631)

19. ==> Could You Forgive Parents Who Abused You?

Many people have bad childhoods. But what makes Wade
Meadows remarkable is how he was able to forgive both
parents, his mentally unstable mother who constantly
reminded him that he was worthless because he was born
on Friday the 13th and his workaholic father who was
unable to protect him. Invite Wade on air to explain
how he was able to open his heart when his mother
needed a caregiver, how he manages to live a hopeful
life despite a chaotic childhood and how he was able to
break his family’s cycle of abuse to raise happy,
successful children and be a loving marriage partner.

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

1. ==> New American Leaders – Immigrants

Sayu Bhojwani believes the unique brand of American-
ness that characterizes many immigrants and refugees
makes them best positioned to be America’s next
generation of leaders. The founder and president of New
American Leaders says, “We come here with a fighting
spirit. We come to make a better life for ourselves,
certainly, but also because we believe in the idea of
America. Our optimism about what this nation can be is
not naive, it’s aspirational and visionary.” She adds,
“When we run for office, the potential we have to make
government work for all of us is one that true
Americans welcome. Trump is afraid that we do not
huddle in fear but stride in power.” Sayu Bhojwani
served as New York’s first commissioner of immigrant
affairs. She is the author of “People Like Us: The New
Wave of Candidates Knocking at Democracy’s Door.”

2. ==> Sex Trafficking is More Common Than You Think

While the arrest and trial of Jeffrey Epstein for sex
trafficking is good news, Kevin Malone says it’s much
more common than you think, usually happens right under
our noses, and traffickers are often those we least
suspect. “Sex trafficking can happen in any
neighborhood, even the ‘safest’ ones. It doesn’t
discriminate. All of our children are at risk. And
there’s no specific trafficker profile. It can be your
child’s teacher, your boss, a local pastor, a nurse,
and so on.” He says, “We have to come together,
community by community and city by city, to set a zero-
tolerance standard for this kind of behavior among our
neighbors and leaders alike. Until we do so, there will
continue to be a supply of trafficking victims for
those demanding them.” Kevin Malone is the president
and co-founder of the U.S. Institute Against Human
Trafficking, a nonprofit, faith-based organization. He
is also the former executive vice president and general
manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Contact him at

3. ==> The Misunderstood World of Sharks

Why are we so afraid of sharks? Are they mindless
killers on the prowl for unsuspecting humans playing in
the ocean? William McKeever says sharks are the ocean’s
most mysterious and misunderstood creature. Invite him
on your show to discuss his two-year journey around the
world to reveal sharks in a new light. Listeners will
learn that while sharks account for fewer than four
human fatalities per year, humans kill 100 million
sharks per year, which has made the species vulnerable
for the first time in its existence and put the future
of the world’s oceans at risk. William McKeever is the
author of “Emperors of the Deep: The Ocean’s Most
Mysterious, Most Misunderstood, and Most Important
Guardians.” His feature-length documentary by the same
title is forthcoming. He is the founder of Safeguard
the Seas. Contact Melinda Mullin at

4. ==> Coming to an MLB Stadium Near You

The national PLAY campaign is making stops at Major
League Baseball Stadiums all over the country this
summer to promote the importance of children living a
healthy and active lifestyle and disability inclusion.
Upcoming stops include Houston, San Diego, Minnesota,
Philadelphia, Washington D. C. and Baltimore. The
program touches on everything from healthy eating,
injury prevention, strength and conditioning to
education about the dangers of illegal performance and
appearance-enhancing drugs. PLAY is a national public
awareness campaign of the Professional Baseball
Athletic Trainers Society (PBATS) in conjunction with
MLB Charities, the Taylor Hooton Foundation, the Henry
Schein Cares Foundation and the Ruderman Family
Foundation. Contact Mark Goldman at

5. ==> Is Your Sunscreen Safe?

We’ve all been told to wear sun protection, but how
safe are the sunscreens we pick? Did you know that many
of the most popular products contain substances that
interfere with our hormones, and chemicals that can be
contaminated with carcinogens? Marcela Popa, M.D., will

7. ==> Hit the Highway! It’s Road Trip Time!

It’s road trip season with millions of Americans
hitting the open highway! Most will come home with
pictures and stories, but some, like Jenni Raney
Edwards, will find the experience life-changing. Invite
her to share how what began as a solo cross-country
adventure in her SUV turned into a love affair with the
open road, and led to her selling her home and most of
her possessions to hit the road in a 40-foot Class A
motorhome—despite having relatively little RV
experience! A successful businesswoman and
entrepreneur, Edwards traded in her office for an RV
and says she has no regrets. Jenni Raney Edwards is the

8. ==> Amazon, Google, Twitter: Monopolies We Need to
Bust!

What do Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Twitter have in
common with Standard Oil, Big Tobacco, big railroads,
mining companies, the Pinkertons and other entities
that roiled the business world more than 125 years ago?
Interview Jim Rumford to find out why he says the very
history that led to the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890
is being repeated today with such behemoths as Google,
Amazon, Facebook, and Twitter. He can talk about ways
monopolies, big government and big corporations stick
together at the expense of middle- and working-class
people. Noting that the FBI and Dept. of Justice
recently opened investigations into these giant
corporations, Rumford will reveal surprising parallels
to U.S. history as well as why he believes that Donald
Trump is the next Teddy Roosevelt when it comes to
trust busting. Rumford is the author of “Tobacco,
Trusts, and Trump: How America’s Forgotten War Created
Big Government.” Rumford’s great-grandfather was a
tobacco buyer at the time the tobacco wars started.
Rumford’s own interest in the topic was piqued by his
ancestor’s scrapbook of newspaper articles of the day.

9. ==> Real Estate Investing: Get the Most Bang for Your Buck

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 is the author of “The Effective

Line in Any Market.” Contact Dan at

10. ==> Why Do People Act That Way??

Who hasn’t scratched their head while trying to
understand why a family member, coworker, friend or
stranger did something inexplicable? For instance, why
a business associate suddenly tells you about the
affair they are having or why the neighbor, who seemed
perfectly OK last weekend, just killed himself. Myke
Merrill, D.Min., will help your listeners understand
their fellow human beings’ behavior… and what they can
do about it! He’ll explain the 5 basic emotional
systems we all have, what shapes the way we each
interpret reality, and how to respond when someone says
or does something that makes you scratch your head. Dr.

12. ==> Should You Consider 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. But should you—and can you—do it?
Discuss the issue with Marywinn Lent, a grandmother
who’s homeschooled her children, grandchildren, and
children from her community for the past 30 years. 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

13. ==> Why Kids Should Make Up their Own Homework… and
Other Ways to Have ‘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.

14. ==> More than Methadone: Alternative, Natural Addiction Treatments

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

1. ==> Charleston Pastor on Forgiving Church Shooter

This weekend’s synagogue shooting brings to mind other
deadly attacks on houses of worship. On June 17th,
2015, a 21-year old white supremacist walked into
Emmanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, South Carolina
and sat through a 45-minute prayer meeting. When those
in attendance closed their eyes in prayer, he shot them
and took nine innocent African-American lives. The
shooter claimed he had no regrets and hadn’t shed a
tear. Interview Reverend Anthony Thompson, whose wife
Myra was one of the victims, about how he could stand
in a courtroom just hours later and publicly forgive
the unrepentant killer. Rev. Thompson can discuss the
power of forgiveness in our personal lives, and what it
can do for a community or nation. He’ll discuss how to
love those that hate you, why forgiving doesn’t mean
forgetting, and the difference between forgiving
publicly and privately. Reverend Anthony Thompson is
the author of “Called to Forgive.’ Contact Jason Jones
at jason@jonesliterary.com

2. ==> Baseball Digest Celebrates 30th Anniversary of
Iconic Baseball Movies

We know Americans love baseball, but they love movies
about baseball almost as much as the game itself! The
new issue of Baseball Digest features two iconic
baseball movies celebrating their 30th anniversary:
Field of Dreams and Major League. Invite editor in
chief Rick Cerrone to discuss why the magazine chose to
highlight the movies, what they have in common, and
what they say about the sport and American culture.
Rick Cerrone was vice president of public relations for
the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1987 through 1993 and
senior director of media relations from 1996 through
2006 for the NY Yankees. He was also a consultant for
the baseball movie The Natural. Contact Mark Goldman at

3. ==> Why Are We Still Talking about Vaccines?

The U.S. is in the middle of the worst outbreak of
measles since the disease was eradicated from the
country in 2000. Many doctors have never seen a case of
measles and Deane Waldman, MD, says that’s because of
mass vaccination programs and herd immunity. Dr.
Waldman says the measles outbreak is a not-so-subtle
reminder of how important vaccination is. “Dangerous
pathogens like polio, smallpox, meningococcus, etc.
aren’t dead and gone. They’re just suppressed. They’re
still out there in the environment. If we let up our
guard, we could again see children paralyzed by polio
or babies who are blind and deaf, with defects in both
brain and heart secondary to German measles (rubella).
I’ve seen a patient in an iron lung and don’t ever want
to again!” Deane Waldman, MD MBA, is a board-certified
pediatrician, a Distinguished Senior Fellow at Texas
Public Policy Foundation, and the author of “Curing the
Cancer in U.S. Healthcare.” Contact him at (505)

4. ==> We Love Moms, Why Don’t They Love Themselves?

Moms do everything for everyone… except themselves.
Joffre McClung says this Mother’s Day, if you really
want to get Mom something she needs, encourage her to
practice self-love. She says, “Self-love is anything
but selfish, and moms need it more than anyone else.
And not just on Mother’s Day, but throughout the year!”
Invite this exuberant self-love expert on your show and
learn five things Mom can add to her daily life to
practice more self-love and mirror self-love for her
kids and partner. Joffre believes showing kids how to
be self-loving is one of the best gifts a mother can
give a child. Joffre McClung has appeared on numerous
radio and TV programs including CBS TV-Austin TX, Hay
House Radio and The Joe Franklin Show. A former media
producer, independent filmmaker, and author, Joffre is
the author of “The Heart of the Matter.” Contact her at

5. ==> Even Stepmoms Deserve a Happy Mother’s Day

Stepmoms have often been portrayed as home-wreckers and
child-haters in movies and TV but most women who take
on this impossible-to-prepare-for role just want to
love their partner’s children. Sadly, when Mother’s Day
rolls around they’re often forgotten or go
unappreciated and unless they have their own kids, the
only one left to celebrate them is their husband.
Cathryn Bond Doyle, a Stepmom herself, can suggest ways
to help you—or the Stepmom you love—feel valued and
acknowledged this Mother’s Day. She’ll share practical
advice about Mother’s Day and talk about using
creativity to have a great holiday. In 2000, Cathryn
left banking and founded Stepmoms on a Mission® to
support, train and mentor stepmothers looking for
answers. Cathryn’s upbeat conversational style,
combined with a treasure trove of Stepmom-tested
suggestions, will energize listeners whether they’re
Stepmoms themselves or want to help the Stepmoms they
love. Cathryn’s new book is “Stepmoms on a Mission.”

6. ==> Do a Show on Forgiveness for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is meant to be a day to celebrate moms who
loved and nurtured us. However, not all of us had
mothers who fit that description. If you had a mother
who made you feel worthless every day of your life
beginning as a young child could you forgive her? Wade
Meadows did. In fact, he was her caregiver when she was
dying. Wade will reveal how he was able to let go of
all the traumatic things his mother put him through in
order to forgive her and emotionally free himself. This
insightful upbeat guest will inspire other people to
find peace despite their own chaotic upbringings and
perhaps bring about a few mother and child reunions.
Wade is the author of “Letters from the Ashes” and
Ashes Forged Into Manhood.” Reach him at 225) 224-8697;

7. ==> How Foreign Aid Is Hurting Africa

America sends millions in taxpayer dollars around the
world to help those in need, but does the money really
end up helping the intended recipients? Author,
speaker, and retired neurosurgeon Dr. Sylvanus Ayeni is
president of Pan Africa Children Advocacy Watch, Inc.
and says that extreme corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa
means that too many US taxpayer dollars end up lining
the pockets of corrupt officials instead of helping
poor families. 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. Ask him: What do you consider
the negative unintended consequences of foreign aid?
Can America do anything to ensure the sustainability of
projects undertaken with foreign aid funds? Contact

8. ==> Former Agent Reveals Behind-the-Scenes IRS Chaos

April 15th has come and gone, but millions of Americans
are still angry because of the complicated, stressful
taxation they must navigate. What most taxpayers don’t
realize: The feared IRS is actually a hotbed of
incompetence and disorder that hurts you. So says
former IRS agent and tax expert Richard Green who will
shock audiences by revealing how the Internal Revenue
Service is staffed year-round by slow-moving staff
using antiquated technology. As your guest, Green will
answer questions like: What types of IRS
miscommunication and lack of cooperation happen? How do
taxpayers suffer because of such poor service? Are
decisions for audits fair? Only someone like Green,
who’s seen it firsthand, can blow the whistle on the
chaotic IRS. Richard Green has authored “Agents of
Deceit”. Contact him at (909) 570-1509;

9. ==> Why the Beatles Will Live Forever

Ringo and Paul are still touring and Paul has had
nearly 40 million hits and counting on “Carpool
Karaoke.” Perhaps even more remarkable is the Beatles’
“White Album” made it into the Billboard Top 10 – 50

Dr. Ira Williams often calls himself the “Don Quixote”
of Health Care Reform. At 85, he is probably one of the
oldest activists around. For decades he’s been hounding
all five Federal Agencies created to solve the health
care crisis in this country. Even with those agencies,
our health care system is still a mess AND medical
errors leading to deaths in hospitals continues to
rise. Dr. Williams has developed a system to empower
local grassroots activists in each state to radically
change our health care delivery system. He’ll tell your
audience why each state is responsible for our nation’s
healthcare delivery system and how to organize state
wide grassroots activists that will challenge the

11. ==> Is Your House Clean but Toxic?

Your house may be ‘clean’ but it could still be making
you and your pets sick. Eco-interior designer Charisse
Marei says there are an alarming number of harmful,
chemical-laden cleaning products in our linen closets,
basements, kitchens and bathrooms, all of which combine
to create indoor air that is five times more polluted
than air found outside. “It’s distressing to realize
each spritz and squeeze of a bottle contributes to poor
indoor air quality. It doesn’t stop there. As you
breathe in a plethora of fine mist particulates, it
negatively affects well-being—clarity, health, energy,
and oh, so much more.” Marei (pronounced Moray) will
share tips, recipes, lists and other resources to make
listeners homes what they should be: a safe place to
live and a place of respite for their families. Marei

15. ==> What’s Behind the Rise in Boomer Suicides?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, suicide rates for those aged 45 to 64 have
increased dramatically in recent times. Sandra
Matheson, a boomer herself, believes this has to do
with ongoing societal changes. “People used to remain
in the same careers for life,” she says. “Now, many
companies think that they are paying older workers too
much, resulting in lay-offs of older employees. In
addition, they are often being supervised by younger
people. It is harder for older employees to compete.
It’s pretty frightening.” The good news is, it’s never
too late to reinvent yourself and live your best life

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

Did you know it’s possible to reverse every disease?
That medicines don’t cure diseases – they are simply
managing the disease at the cost of side effects? That
not all “good” foods are good for everyone? Reena
Jadhav knows first-hand how important it is to take
control of your health and your body. She’ll share
short cuts she learned the hard way, as she fought her
way back to good health after 28 symptoms of an auto-
immune illness went misdiagnosed and untreated for
years. A highly successful tech entrepreneur, educated
at Wharton and Harvard, Reena has a strong personal
story of surviving two major illnesses before the age
of 50. Reena is the author of the HealJournal and
creator of the New Health Pyramid. Her newest book
“Healed” empowers people to take back their health
using science. Contact Reena Jadhav at (650) 309-1005;

17. ==> Best-Kept Secrets of Successful Teenagers

Teenagers are often known for being moody or silly, and
seemingly lost among the worry and angst of their
“almost an adult” years. But what about those teens who
are happy, hopeful, well-adjusted, and making confident
progress academically and in their everyday lives? What
do they know that could help ALL young people? Explore
this with acclaimed author Paul Bernabei, whose many
books of the Top 20 series include “TOP 20 Teens.”
He’ll reveal how today’s most successful teens think
smarter and foster positive beliefs while learning from
their mistakes. Bernabei will also talk about social-
emotional learning and how this benefits students in
personal and school life. Appreciative audiences (teens
themselves and their mentors/parents/teachers) will
also hear about must-know lifelong secrets for “people-
smart” communication, conflict resolution,
demonstrating kindness, specializing in effective
responses and much more. Contact Bernabei at (651)

18. ==> Hungry … Homeless … and in College

When you think of homelessness and hunger, images of
college students rarely come to mind. But the reality
is that 36 percent of university students and 46
percent of community college students have poor housing
situations. Worse still, 12 percent of community
college students and 9 percent of university students
are actually homeless. Glen Dunzweiler, an advocate for
the homeless, knows that some folks just don’t want to
talk about the homeless problem. It isn’t pretty but it
is pretty important. Interview Glen to learn what you
don’t know about homelessness in America and how the
education we provide youngsters is actually making the
problem worse. Glen is a filmmaker, producer, director,
public speaker and former college professor whose
documentary, “yHomeless,” can be seen on Amazon Prime.
He is the author of “Things I’ve Learned From The
Homeless.” Contact him at (702) 703-2219;

19. ==> What Happens When Kids Make Up their Own
Homework?

Why do kindergartners love school but by the end of
high school most students can’t wait to leave? The joy
and excitement that can be found in those early years
quickly dissipates, but fixing it is easier 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!” In
fact, teachers using Lee’s method are seeing an
increase in classroom learning by six times the
national average! Lee Jenkins is currently working on
his new book “How to Create a Perfect School” (June
2019), foreword by Jack Canfield. He’s been an educator
and administrator both in public schools and
universities. Contact Lee Jenkins at (484) 306-8784;

20. ==> Interview the Decision Doctor

Have you ever had to make a tough decision? Like
whether to leave a job? Get out of a relationship? Or
what medical treatment to pursue? It can leave you
feeling scared, lonely, and frozen with fear. Terrie
Novak is an expert at decision-making… or “choice-
making” as she likes to call it. As a systems analyst,
she does it every day at work for her customers. So,
when she was faced with a scary diagnosis and an even
scarier treatment option, she decided (after freaking
out) to apply what she does at work to help her make
some important decisions. Terrie will share her
powerful story with your audience and explain how her
three-step decision making process makes any decision
easier to make. Terrie Novak works in software
engineering as a systems analyst. Her unique framework
for “choice-making” can be applied to decisions of any
kind. Her upcoming book, “The Decision Doctor” outlines
a three-step process she created to help heal herself.

1. ==> Trump Transition Staffer: It’s Time for GOP to
Dump Trump!

J.W. Verret was a Trump transition staffer. He’s worked
on every Republican presidential transition team for
the past 10 years and recently served as counsel to the
Republican-led House Financial Services Committee. But
he says the Mueller report was his tipping point and
now it’s now time for Republicans to impeach Donald
Trump. He writes in the Atlantic: “Politics is a team
sport, and if you actively work within a political
party, there is some expectation that you will follow
orders and rally behind the leader, even when you
disagree. There is a point, though, at which that
expectation turns from a mix of loyalty and pragmatism
into something more sinister, a blind devotion that
serves to enable criminal conduct.” And adds,
“Republicans who stand up to Trump today may face some
friendly fire. Today’s Republican electorate seems
spellbound by the sound bites of Twitter and cable
news, for which Trump is a born wizard. Yet, in time,
we can help rebuild the Republican Party, enabling it
to rise from the ashes of the post-Trump apocalypse
into a party with renewed commitment to principles of
liberty, opportunity, and the rule of law.” J.W. Verret
is professor of law at George Mason University Antonin
Scalia Law School. Contact him at (703) 993-8038;
jverret@gmu.edu or J.W.Verret@VeritasAnalyticsLLC.com

2. ==> Should Felons Be Allowed to Vote?

One of the issues currently being debated among
Presidential hopefuls is the issue of allowing felons
the right to vote. Legal expert Andrew Novak believes
felons should give up some rights, but voting isn’t one
of them. He says it’s really just a ploy to preserve
white rural power and prison gerrymandering. “Many
prisoners are racial minorities or people who live in
urban areas, which means these places lose voting
population, while more conservative areas gain
nonvoting population.” Many states are in the process
of revising their laws to allow ex-prisoners to vote,
voting by current prisoners only exists in Maine,
Puerto Rico, and Vermont. Novack says the trend across
the developed world is to allow at least some prisoners
to vote. “We should not assume that prisoners are less
knowledgeable about politics than those outside of
prison—that’s a pretty low bar, after all. Isolating
prisoners from the political process during and after
their incarceration further stigmatizes and isolates
them, and that can encourage reoffending.” A lawyer by
training, Andrew Novak teaches courses related to
international criminal justice and human rights. He was
previously an adjunct professor of law at American
University. Contact him at anovak2@gmu.edu or (703)

3. ==> Harry and Meghan, Africa Doesn’t Want You

There are reports that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex
may be considering a move to Africa sometime after the
birth of their child. Some says Meghan wants to explore
her and her child’s African roots but Kehinde Andrews
says, “If Harry and Meghan do make the move, they will
not be representing modern multiracial couples
everywhere, but the colonial institution that is the
British monarchy.” Andrews says South Africa would be
the most fitting destination of all their options.
“With its history of apartheid and steep racial
divisions, the country reflects much of what is wrong
with post-colonial Africa. More than half the black
population live below the poverty line, while the same
can be said for the less than 1% of whites. Harry and
Meghan living in a gated community, surrounded by the
largely white elite and locked away from extreme
poverty, would be the most appropriate symbol of royal
privilege in the 21st century.” Kehinde Andrews is an
associate professor in sociology at Birmingham City
University and the author of “Back to Black: Retelling
Black Radicalism for the 21st Century.” Contact him at
Kehinde.andrews@bcu.ac.uk

4. ==> How to Cope with a Bridezilla/Groomzilla

It’s supposed to be a wonderful celebration of love,
but weddings can also bring out the worst in people,
including the bride and groom! It’s the countdown to
wedding season and it seems Bridezillas and Groomzillas
are everywhere. How does this happen? Invite
psychologist Dr. John Huber to explain the psychology
behind Bridezilla behavior and signs that you may have
succumbed to the condition yourself. He’ll also tell
listeners how to cope with someone who’s acting like a
tyrant. “The first thing a person should realize is
that your spouse, friend, family member who is acting
like a Bridezilla is not mentally healthy right now.
Severe stress, anxiety, and peer pressure can all take
a taxing toll on a person’s mindset.” Dr. Huber says
some Bridezillas have control issues, some have over-
sized egos and others have learned to use bad behavior
to get what they want. The good news is that the
‘condition’ is usually temporary. Dr. John Huber is the
chairman for Mainstream Mental Health, a non-profit
mental health organization. He’s appeared on hundreds
of radio shows and dozens of national television
programs. Contact Ryan McCormick at (516) 901-1103;
(919) 377-1200.

5. ==> Are You Married to a Stepmom? Must-Have Mother’s
Day Advice

Not surprisingly, Mother’s Day isn’t usually a
Stepmom’s favorite holiday. With all the love and
attention focused on mothers, Stepmoms often get lost
in the shuffle and can feel forgotten and
unappreciated. And for many, the only person there to
celebrate them is their husband! Cathryn Bond Doyle, a
Stepmom herself, says men can do a lot to help Stepmoms
enjoy the holiday—with or without kids involved (wink,
wink)! Invite Cathryn to share ways to make a
Stepmom’s Mother’s Day special. She’ll explain how to
negotiate the ‘Loyalty War,’ ways to show appreciation
for all your spouse does for your children, and how a
simple change in how you refer to your ex can reduce
stress. In 2000, Cathryn left banking and founded
Stepmoms on a Mission® to support, train and mentor
stepmothers looking for answers. Cathryn’s upbeat
conversational style, combined with a treasure trove of
Stepmom-tested suggestions, will energize listeners
whether they’re Stepmoms themselves or want to help the
Stepmoms they love. Cathryn’s new book is “Stepmoms on
a Mission.” Contact Cathryn Bond Doyle at (609)

6. ==> What Women Really Want for Mother’s Day

Cards, breakfast in bed, flowers and candy are all very
nice. But, according to Adita Yrizarry-Lang, what busy
multitasking women really want for Mother’s Day is time
for themselves. Pointing out that most women put their
own needs on the back burner while taking care of
everyone else’s, Adita will lay out a plan that helps
women put aside their need for perfection and put their
own needs first. She’ll encourage women to put a smile
on their face every day by rediscovering what truly
makes them happy and building that into their lives
along with time to meditate, exercise and eat right. A
busy mother herself, Adita is a 30-year wellness
educator who has been quoted in Shape and Fitness. She
is the author of “SuperPowers.” Contact her at (305)

7. ==> Do Happy Mothers Have Happy Kids?

As we prepare to celebrate motherhood on May 12, the
spotlight is on Mom, and Emily Slingluff says it’s
important to understand how important a happy mother is
to having happy children. Invite her to talk about the
importance of raising happy children, and how
mothers—and fathers—can change the equation. She says,
“The formative years of life are called formative for a
reason. And the main influence in those first years is
the parent.” Slingluff says parents have more influence
than anyone in raising a kinder, happier generation.
She’ll discuss clear and easy ways to help kids be
happy with life. Emily Slingluff is the author of
several parenting books including “Peace” and
“Parenting without Punishment.” Contact her at (757)
800-0246; eslingluff@rtirguests.com

8. ==> God Will Heal the Pain of Childless Women

Mother’s Day is the day we honor the women who brought
us into the world and raised us. But it can also be a
painful reminder for those unable to conceive or who
have lost babies to miscarriage. Veronica Anusionwu
says it can be especially challenging for church-going
women who may feel forgotten by God as they sit through
services in which mothers are praised and honored.
Through her ministry, Veronica helps women overcome the
internal blocks and challenges that confront them in
their struggle to conceive. With the use of healing
prayers, she’s helped numerous families overcome
infertility. Invite her on your show and learn how
women can get pregnant using God’s Word and how to
catch God’s ear and become fertile even if your case is
considered medically impossible. Veronica has written
more than 30 books on fertility, healing, childbirth
and relationships including her latest, “God Has Not
Forgotten You: Hope for a Woman Struggling to Conceive”
which offers several prayers particularly attuned to
Mother’s Day. Contact: Veronica Anusionwu at
v@helpforinfertility.com

9. ==> M.D. Reveals Shocking Truth Behind Prince’s
Death

When pop artist Prince died from a drug overdose on
April 21, 2016, his legions of fans were shocked and
saddened. But they never really learned the truth about
how his death could have been prevented. Addiction
specialist Isaac Alexis, M.D., can share how Prince,
Elvis, Michael Jackson and other icons who succumbed to
drug overdoses could have been saved. “With Prince, his
death could have been prevented by restricting his
maximum daily dose,” Dr. Isaac says. “He could have
used more physical therapy and occupational therapy
alongside cognitive behavioral therapy to talk out what
current issues were in his environment that ‘triggered’
his drug use.” Dr. Isaac completed an internship in
trauma surgery at Cornell University at New York
Hospital of Queens and spent many years working for the
criminal justice system. 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 him at
IAlexis@rtirguests.com; 315-935-6348

10. ==> Why are Women Required to Save Our World?

Our world, according to many experts, is heading
towards self-destruction. The existence of worldwide
nuclear weapons, countries run by tribal leaders and
unstable dictators, and a way of thinking that Einstein
called “a silent addiction leading to species suicide”
doesn’t bode well for any of us. Interview Donald Pet,
M.D., a psychiatrist who believes if we want to get
serious about creating world peace women are the
answer! “Women by nature are nurturers, men by nature
create war,” says Dr. Pet. “Women are natural
communicators who use negotiating to show strength
instead of bully tactics!” Pet is the founder of the
Education Community (EC), a nonprofit organization that
offers free college level courses on how to develop a
“new way of thinking” that promotes happiness, love and
peace. His EC initiative has been endorsed by Jack
Canfield, Brian Tracy and many others. Contact Dr.
Donald Pet at (860) 253-2691; DPet@rtirguests.com

11. ==> Surgeon: Why Docs Push Surgery & Drugs that
Don’t Work

Surgeries, opioid prescriptions, a plethora of
commercial products and snake oil remedies for back
pain are flooding the market. Noted spine surgeon David
Hanscom, M.D., will explain why they don’t work and can
actually increase back pain. He’ll disclose the hidden
agenda of doctors and drug manufacturers promising
miracle cures and pushing pills, while revealing what
really causes back pain and how most people can cure it
themselves. Hanscom, author of “Back in Control: A
Surgeon’s Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain” will take the
medical and pharmaceutical professions to task,
presenting research-based evidence and information
about the direct connection between stress, anxiety and
physical pain. He’ll also explore how anxiety and
stress have led to drug abuse, gratuitous surgeries and
just plain bad-doctoring for kids and adults. Dr.
Hanscom has appeared on many programs including The Dr.
Oz Show. Contact him dhanscom@rtirguests.com; (206)
890-1892

12. ==> Should Your Refrigerator Be Your Medicine
Cabinet?

Conventional wisdom tells us that when we’re sick, we
should seek out a medication to heal us. However, you
may find a better remedy in your refrigerator! Ed
Dodge, M.D. says veggies and fruits have proven healing
power and when tested side-by-side with expensive
medications, often get the best results. Which foods
help reduce inflammation and which ones can prevent
certain types of infection? Invite Dr. Dodge, author of
“Family: A Family Doc’s Memoir of Life in Africa and
the US,” to find out! Learn what antioxidants are and
how many types there are, some surprising healing
properties of foods, and whether veggies and fruits can
replace medication for some people. Contact Ed Dodge at
(484) 259-9887; EDodge@rtirguests.com

13. ==> Could You or Your Kid Have a Concussion and Not
Know it?

“Yes!” says Paul Wand, M.D., P.A., “And with spring
sports in, full swing many parents are wondering how to
keep their kids safe from sports injuries – mostly
concussion-related.” Many parents don’t even realize
that even some non-contact sports can cause concussions
in kids like swimming, basketball, volleyball,
wrestling, soccer, baseball, mixed martial arts and
even cheerleading! Wand, a neurologist who specializes
in concussions and how to diagnose and treat them more
quickly and more easily, will explain how your child,
or you for that matter, could have a concussion and
have no idea. How is this possible? Sometimes symptoms
relating to the concussion don’t show up until months
or years later. And for about 20% of the population who
actually go to the ER and undergo CT or MRI scans they
are told they are perfectly fine, when in reality they
aren’t. Dr. Paul Wand has been practicing medicine for
35 years. He’s the author of the upcoming “The
Concussion Cure: Three Proven Methods to Heal Your
Brain.” Contact him at (954) 743-5380;
PWand@rtirguests.com

14. ==> Why Are Office Affairs So Common?

Tamara Lashchyk will point out that 85 percent of all
affairs begin at the office. Tamara, whose last name is
pronounced Lash-check, will explore what makes these
affairs and romances so tempting, how hard it is to
conceal such relationships from coworkers and who is
likely to pay the price if things go bad. Tamara is a
Wall Street executive, business consultant and career
coach as well as the author of the bestselling book,
“Lose the Gum: A Survival Guide for Women on Wall
Street, Main Street and Every Street in Between.”

15. ==> Spot the Warning Signs of Dangerous Jealousy

It can be flattering if your partner seems slightly
jealous when others show interest in you, but when does
it cross the line and indicate a more serious threat?
Invite author, speaker, and personal transformation
expert Arnoux Goran to reveal the warning signs of
dangerous jealousy. He’ll explain the behaviors to
watch for, whether a jealous partner can change, and
when to know that it’s time to end the relationship.
Goran’s method to reprogram yourself 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.” Contact

16. ==> Why Sex and Life Are Better After Your Husband
is Gone

He may be dead and gone, kicked to the curb or just out
the door, but you are finally alone to explore your own
sexuality and discover who you really are. It’s a
fabulous exploration! That’s what your audience will
learn from Katherine Webster, author of “Becoming Madam
Widow.” Definitely not your typical “Woe is Me Widow,”
Katherine tackles the real nitty-gritty issues of being
a female alone at mid-life and does so with frankness
and humor. Whether listeners are alone by fate or
choice, they’ll gain a whole new perspective on their
circumstance. She’ll also give listeners easy ways to
reinvent themselves, kick-start the second part of life
and go from being middle-aged miserable to mid-life
magnificent with or without a man. Webster is a
spitfire of a guest who wants provocative topics and
isn’t afraid to show the world that real women are
feisty and bad-ass. Contact her at
KWebster@rtirguests.com; (416) 921-2084.

17. ==> How to Know if You’re Addicted to Food

Did you know that over 100 million people are obese in
the US alone? Food addiction is rampant in this country
and you could be addicted to food and not even know it!
“Of the 10 most common addictions food is definitely
way up there,” says Michael McGee, M.D. – a
psychiatrist who blends science with spirituality to
give people back control over their lives. He says it’s
time for Americans to take a long hard look at their
love affair with food! Dr. McGee will show your
audience how to look at the science of habit and his
“Good now, Bad later” philosophy to help them figure
out if they are addicted to food (or anything else!)
and what they can do to gain more control over their
choices. He’ll share 3 easy ways to make your eating
habits healthy again – simply by making unhealthy food
not obvious, unattractive and difficult to obtain! Dr.
Michael McGee trained at Stanford and Harvard Medical
Schools. He’s the author of “The Joy of Recovery: The
New 12 Step Guide to Recovery from Addiction.” Contact
him at (978) 971-9703; MMcGee@rtirguests.com

18. ==> Meditation for the 21st Century

Have you joined the millions of wise people from Oprah
to Howard Stern to many of your own colleagues and
friends who meditate daily? How will this benefit you
by reducing stress and avoiding stress-related
ailments, from headaches to heart problems and from
arthritis to asthma? How does meditation help in
successfully treating addictions and anxiety, and even
preventing/dropping bad habits? Learn more about
solving our 21st Century lifestyle issues with
meditation methods that have been around for millennia.

rehabilitated. John Sambalino’s latest book is “Is God
in That Bottle Cap? A Search for Truth.” Contact him at

19. ==> Master the Power of Public Speaking

Eventually we’re all called upon to speak in front of a
group – whether it’s for career, school,
clients/customers, organization, place of worship or a
family gathering. How can one win BIG (rather than
dread) that public speaking? What does it take to have
the needed confidence, charisma and topnotch delivery?
Audiences will thank you for interviewing Jill Jaysen,
a communications and leadership development expert who
says we have all been mis-taught when it comes to
public speaking. She’ll explain why the same old
recycled, generic formulas and gimmicks like practicing
at a mirror, videotaping yourself and picturing the
audience in their underwear, actually create mediocre
speakers. Ask her: When does your speech really start?
How does NLP relate? What are the biggest speaking
turn-offs despite what experts say? Contact Jill Jaysen

20. ==> My Grandfather Was the Most Interesting Man in
the World

Prince Serge Obolensky was known as the Prince of New
York. Born a Russian Prince in 1890, he married a
Russian princess, escaped to England from the
Bolsheviks with a price on his head, immigrated to the
US with his second wife Alice Astor – an American
princess – in 1924, and reigned supreme at the St.
Regis Hotel in Manhattan working for Vincent Astor who
asked him to help restore the grand hotel. In 1931, at
the age of 53, Serge joined the Commandos under “Wild
Bill” Donovan and completed two successful missions
parachuting into Nazi-occupied Europe. Ivan Obolensky,
Serge’s grandson, has fond memories of meeting his
legendary grandfather for lunch at the St. Regis… and
has many amazing true stories to relate, not only about
his grandfather but also the Astors and American
aristocratic life at that time. Ivan Obolensky is an
author and a true Renaissance man in his own right. He
is the author of “Eye of the Moon.” Contact Ivan
Obolensky at (818) 495-8731; IObolensky@rtirguests.com
