    1. ==> Is Amazon HQ2 Just a Transfer of Wealth?

    Decision day has come after months of U.S. cities vying
    to become the next Amazon headquarters, but Greg LeRoy,
    executive director of Good Jobs First, says Crystal
    City and Long Island City citizens have no idea what
    their elected officials have promised to Amazon. “We
    don’t know what special new subsidies have been
    promised that will require state or local enactments.
    We don’t know if gentrification buffers — especially
    affordable housing — are included. We don’t know if
    clawbacks or other safeguards are included. We don’t
    know the cost per job.” LeRoy says what we do know, is
    that both deals were negotiated in secret, without any
    public input. “We know that past U.S. ‘megadeals’ have
    cost an average of $658,000 per job. At that price,
    taxpayers can never come close to breaking even. Such
    deals convey a massive transfer of wealth from
    taxpayers to shareholders.” Contact Greg LeRoy at
    goodjobs@goodjobsfirst.org; @goodjobsfirst

    2. ==> How Amazon HQ2 Can Benefit Cities

    According to Joe Parilla of the Brookings Institution,
    “Leaders in Northern Virginia and New York have signed
    up to try to make this work. If done right, these two
    global metros could invest in shared regional assets
    that not only benefit Amazon but also workers,
    communities and other businesses.” Parilla says
    Amazon’s presence will have a gravitational pull on
    other companies, spin off new businesses, and create
    demand for local suppliers. But, he also admits there
    are downsides. “Even with the most ambitious workforce
    development efforts imaginable, most local residents
    will not directly benefit from Amazon’s investment. For
    them, there are well-founded concerns that their cost
    of living will increase as new arrivals bid up the
    price of housing.” Joe Parilla is a fellow at the
    Metropolitan Policy Program at The Brookings
    Institution. Contact him at (202) 797-6139; @joeparilla

    Thanksgiving meal? Keep your belt on this year and have
    registered dietitian Tamara Duker Freuman share tips to
    beat the “belly bloat” many of us experience during the

    the different causes of bloat, surprising ‘healthy’
    foods that could be causing you gut problems, and how
    to fix your gastric woes and find relief! Freuman has
    spent her career talking candidly about the digestive
    issues many people are too embarrassed to discuss with
    others. Her advice appears on US News + World Report’s
    eat+run blog and Yahoo! Health. Her new book is “The
    Bloated Belly Whisperer.” Contact Johanna Ramos-Boyer
    at (703) 646-5137; johanna@jrbcomm.com or Erin Bolden

    5. ==> Holiday Headaches: The Family Addict is Coming

    McGee, M.D. to discover five tips on how to deal with
    the relative who always seems to ruin everyone’s good

    6. ==> Which Came First, the Gift or the Gratitude?

    Are we grateful for our gifts or are we gifted because
    we’re grateful? According to multimillionaire
    entrepreneur, angel investor and author May McCarthy,
    gratitude is the mainspring for abundance and success.
    “Gratitude helps us maintain the optimal state to
    notice more opportunities to achieve our goals. Being
    grateful also stimulates our subconscious and intuition
    to provide us with more information that is in
    alignment with our desired outcomes. We tend to notice
    helpful information more easily when we incorporate
    gratitude as a habit into our lives.” May McCarthy will
    share her formula for success and how to incorporate
    its key variable, gratitude. You’ll learn how to
    develop your intuition, discover your purpose and use
    gratitude to create powerful, practical and achievable
    goals. May McCarthy has co-founded and grown six
    profitable companies. She is a guest university
    lecturer and professional speaker and has appeared on
    dozens of local, national, and international radio and
    television programs. She is the author of “The Path to
    Wealth” and “The Gratitude Formula.” Contact Mara
    Quigley at (661) 255-8283; mara@steveallenmedia.com

    7. ==> Don’t Slip this to the Dog Under the Holiday
    Table

    Are you planning to share your Thanksgiving feast with
    your pets? Dr. Judy Morgan can discuss what is safe to
    share and what can be dangerous—and even deadly—for
    pets. She’ll discuss safety tips if you’re hosting a
    party or travelling with a pet, what common holiday
    items are toxic to animals, and what to check for after
    a party that could be dangerous for your pet. Morgan is
    a holistic veterinarian who treats dogs, cats, and
    horses. She is chief veterinary medical officer for
    Monkey’s House Senior Dog Hospice and Sanctuary and

    8. ==> How Just 2 Choices Could Lead to Your Happiest
    Holiday Season

    Are you finding yourself waiting for somebody else to:
    Make the holidays happier and more memorable for you?
    Or help you avoid seasonal worries and even loneliness?
    Or build your confidence, relieve “holiday overwhelm”
    and set the stage for an excellent 2019? In reality,
    the choice is YOURS — says sought-after speaker,
    author and motivational choice expert Rico Racosky.
    Invite this articulate guest to reveal how easy it is
    to choose joy and motivation, especially as we approach
    Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year’s Day. Rico, known
    internationally as The New Story Guy, will reveal that
    holiday happiness starts when you move toward a
    meaningful new story and away from your old frustrating
    story that hasn’t been working for you. He will offer
    advice on accepting the “I choose to…” model as we
    handle money (from gift shopping to donations),
    transform relationships, build career and even face
    health issues. Rico’s latest book is “Just2Choices.”

    9. ==> Could this Save California from Wildfires?

    Usually the summer and fall months in California are
    wildfire season, when dry weather, high temperatures,
    and rogue winds set the Golden State aglow in deadly
    fires. This year, however, the season continues
    unabated, with whole Northern and Southern California
    towns evacuated, and at least one city thoroughly
    destroyed. Californian entrepreneur Jim Moseley has
    seen firsthand how the fires affect the state, and has
    repurposed a fire-proofing material used by NASA into a
    powerful line of defense against the conflagration. Has
    he found a fool-proof way to fireproof our property and
    our natural resources? Jim Moseley will talk about the
    current wildfires and how they’ve become more
    destructive and how solutions to the problem may be
    found in existing technology. Moseley, a Grammy-
    nominated trombonist (Google “Moseley Trombone” and
    enjoy!) can be reached at (818) 486-4662.

    10. ==> Psychotherapist: How to Heal Our National
    Trauma

    How can America heal from its own national trauma
    caused by hate crimes and growing polarization?
    Psychotherapist Gillian Padgett has insights on what to
    do when the unthinkable happens—whether it is murder,
    abuse or the result of a natural disaster. She’ll share
    the ABCs of coping with trauma and why the country and
    individuals who experience it will be forever changed
    but can come out stronger. In addition to being a
    psychotherapist, Gillian is a hypnotherapist trained to
    work with victims of crime and families of murder
    victims. Her latest book is “From Trauma to
    Tranquility” Reach her at (647) 270-7602;

    11. ==> Fun Show: Common Sense Ways to Tame Incivility

    Incivility is out of control. We are just acting ruder
    and ruder. Joffre McClung says common sense and self-
    love go hand in hand and clearly there are a whole lot
    of Americans that do not love themselves these days.
    Invite her to share five humorous—but serious—common
    sense rules we need to make common again. Whether it’s
    minding your own business or thinking before you speak,
    Joffre will discuss simple rules to tame the current
    rise in rude behavior, like keeping your voice down in
    public. “No one needs to hear your phone conversation.
    You are just not that interesting and no one needs to
    hear you fighting or arguing. Can’t say something nice?
    Then don’t say anything! Not everyone cares what you
    think,” says Joffre. 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 takes the esoteric and brings it back down to

    12. ==> How Many Sexopaths Have Been in the White
    House?

    The #MeToo movement has demonstrated that sociopathic
    sex addicts—also known as sexopaths—are frequently
    found in positions of power. But how many sexopaths
    have been in the White House? Using her Sexopath
    Spotting Tool, Nicole Kelly, M.D., will discuss the
    current and former White House occupants and whether
    they qualify. She can also answer such questions as
    what is the definition of a sexopath? Does being a
    sexopath or sociopath make you more successful? Why
    are sexopaths attracted to power? Kelly is a board-
    certified physician who was victimized by a sociopathic
    sex addict who embezzled over $700,000 from her medical
    practice. Her new book is “Charming Cheaters: Protect
    Yourself from the Sociopaths, Psychopaths, and
    Sexopaths in Your Life.” Reach her at (615) 530-6969;

    13. ==> The Surprising Reason You Might Get the Flu
    This Year

    You’ve had the flu shot, which some years is only just
    ten percent effective. And you do your best to avoid
    people who are coughing and clearly sick. But you still
    could end up with the flu, according to Judson
    Somerville, M.D. This is particularly true if you
    liberally slather on sunscreen or spend a lot of time
    indoors. Interview Dr. Somerville to learn why this is
    so and what you can do about it. He’ll explain how
    taking the right dose of an inexpensive and widely
    available vitamin supplement can keep you and your
    family well and even prevent the tragic deaths of
    thousands of people who get the flu each year. Dr.
    Somerville is the author of “The Optimal Dose: Restore
    Your Health with the Power of Vitamin D3.” Reach him at
    (956) 286-0766; somervillejudson@netscape.net

    14. ==> Far Too Many People Continue to Die Needlessly
    in our Hospitals

    200,000 preventable deaths each year in the US
    healthcare system is like having 20 Boeing 747
    airliners crashing each week! How and why is this
    happening? And why won’t the people in charge DO
    something about it? For decades, Dr. Ira Williams has
    been trying to challenge and educate quality of care
    experts not only in three Federal Agencies in
    Washington, D.C., but also in his home state of South
    Carolina. According to Dr. Williams the politicians and
    physicians are trying to solve the wrong problem! Dr.
    Ira Williams is an author, an experienced surgeon,
    medical malpractice expert witness and an expert in how
    to improve our healthcare delivery system. His latest
    book is “Healthcare Warriors, Why and How to Become
    One.” Contact Dr. Ira Williams at (864) 676-1420;

    15. ==> This M.D. Knows the Real Causes of Autism, and
    the Cure

    According to a recent report from the Centers for
    Disease Control and Prevention, more children than ever
    are being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. The
    data shows that autism affects one in 59 children, an
    increase from previously reported one in 68 children.
    Physicians and autism researchers also claims that the
    causes are unknown, and there is no cure. “Both of
    these statements are not true at all!” says physician
    and author Dr. Rajalakshmi Kandaswamy. After exploring
    the power of holistic energy healing in her own medical
    practice and life, Dr. Raja spent more than 25 years
    developing the Autism Cure, which shows results from
    day one! She recently was recognized by Buzzfeed as one
    of five professionals in the world to watch out for in
    the autism arena. She is the author of “How to Heal
    Autism and ADHD in 30 Days: The Phenomenally Powerful
    Breakthrough of Intent Healing” and a graduate of
    India’s premier medical college C.M.C Vellore. Contact

    16. ==> How Nixing Sugar Can Dramatically Increase
    Cancer Survival Rates

    When Anthony Randle’s wife Jessica was diagnosed with
    stage four breast cancer, her doctors told her she
    could eat whatever she wanted while undergoing
    aggressive treatments. But after having a poignant
    dream about his late grandmother who was a gifted
    energy healer, Anthony began doing his own research and
    discovered some shocking facts. “I learned that sugar
    actually feeds cancer,” he says. After elimination
    sugar from her diet, Jessica sailed through chemo with
    virtually no side effects. “After every treatment, I
    wanted her to relax and nap,” he says. “But she would
    have so much energy that we would go play tennis. The
    ball would rush past me!” He shares his poignant
    experiences in his acclaimed book “The True Story of a
    Husband, A Best Friend and Care Giver: The Struggle
    Within,” and can reveal how he and his wife made it

    big deal and we can do better. Bring wellness educator
    Adita Yrizarry-Lang on your show to share fascinating
    facts about how to get the type of sleep that helps you

    18. ==> National Caregiving Month: Unsung Heroes

    People 65 and older around the globe outnumber the
    entire populations of Russia, Japan, France, Germany
    and Australia combined. With 30,000 people daily
    turning 60 worldwide, this trend shows no signs of
    slowing down for at least 10 years. November is
    National Caregiving Month, a time to recognize the hard
    work and personal sacrifices caregivers make, often
    without back up, appreciation or compensation. Bring
    Carol-Ann Hamilton on your show not only to pay tribute
    to those who keep elderly people thriving and out of
    nursing homes but to help such individuals avoid
    harming their own health in the process. Carol-Ann is a
    former caregiver and an advocate for the beleaguered
    Sandwich Generation. A fount of information, she can

    19. ==> This Long-Married Pastor Reveals Why Marriages
    Fail

    While almost one in two marriages fail and only 6
    percent of married couples make it to their 50th
    wedding anniversary, long-time pastor and Christian
    marriage counselor Rev. George Sukhdeo and his wife
    have celebrated 46 years together. “We have experienced
    almost every challenge couple face in marriage,” he
    says. “Through the years, I have counseled about 500
    couples, with an 85 percent success rate.” While
    finances, infidelity and incessant arguing are leading
    causes for divorce, Rev. George can reveal some other
    major, little-known reasons, and how to avoid becoming
    a statistic. Rev. George is an ordained minister with
    the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada, He received a
    Master of Ministry in Christian Counseling degree and a

    20. ==> What Really Happens When We Die?

    Some people believe that we go to an afterlife, heaven
    or hell after we pass on. Others are convinced that we
    merely go to sleep for all eternity. While growing up
    in a Midwestern funeral home where her dad was an
    undertaker, Margo Lenmark learned the truth about what
    really happens when we depart this mortal coil. “People
    send messages in death that are very clear,” she says.
    “Death is not the end. I have gotten messages from dead
    people that have helped me to live a better life.” She
    shares her fascinating experiences and insights in her
    newly published book “Light in the Mourning: Memoirs of
    an Undertaker’s Daughter.” The book has received
    glowing reviews from a number of prominent authors and
    spiritual leaders including Deepak Chopra, who says,
    “Life is not the opposite of death. It is birth and
    death that are opposites. Life is the continuum of
    birth and death eternally, and now. Read this
    engrossing book for your own insights into reality.”

    1. ==> Both Sides Are Overselling Troop Deployment

    The president is deploying an additional 5,200 active-
    duty troops to the southern border of the United States
    in what he has tried to portray as an unprecedented
    effort to stem an “invasion” by a caravan of Central
    American migrants. The deployment, dubbed Operation
    Faithful Patriot, is aimed at hardening security at the
    Mexican border and will bring the number of U.S. troops
    there to over 7,000—more than triple the number of U.S.
    forces in Syria as of last December. But Lara Seligman
    says the actual facts of the deployment do not live up
    to the hype from either proponents or critics.
    Seligman, Foreign Policy’s Pentagon correspondent,
    writes that the active-duty troops will mostly be
    putting up razor wire and moving border police and that
    there is precedent for the move: Both Presidents George
    W. Bush and Barack Obama deployed similar numbers of
    troops to the border during their times in office,
    though not during elections. Lara Seligman also served
    as the Pentagon editor for Aviation Week and Space
    Technology. Contact her at
    Lara.seligman@foreignpolicy.com; @laraseligman

    2. ==> Migrant Caravan – What Are They Fleeing?

    Thousands of migrants from Central America are headed
    north through Mexico, riding buses, piling into trucks
    and walking toward America and a vision of a better
    life. According to the United Nations, the caravan is
    made up of men, women and children mostly from
    Honduras, though some are Guatemalan and others are
    from El Salvador. Suyapa Portillo, an assistant
    professor at Pitzer College who observed last year’s
    election in Honduras says, “Juan Orlando
    Hernandez’s presidency cannot provide jobs, healthcare,
    safety in their neighborhoods or food. Eating in
    Honduras is a luxury. Minimum wage is under $400
    dollars a month, but electricity, water and food, costs
    well over $500 a month for a household.” She adds, “The
    country has witnessed a decline in security, becoming
    one of the most dangerous countries in the world, where
    children, women and transgender people are killed at
    the rate of a country in an active war.” Suyapa
    Portillo just wrote the piece “An Illegitimate, U.S.-
    Backed Regime is Fueling the Honduran Refugee Crisis.”
    She is in contact with people in Honduras who are also
    be available for interviews. Contact her at

    3. ==> How Have We Forgotten an Opinion Isn’t Fact?

    Between mail bombs and synagogue shootings, it’s been a
    brutal week for hate crimes in America. Leeza Steindorf
    says, “The concept that we have completely forgotten in
    this country, with its fierce embrace of ‘us against
    them’ is that an opinion is NOT a fact. Sounds simple
    but the leaders of this land have completely missed
    that small distinction.” She says it’s the source of
    all crimes and wounds – that my perspective is right,
    yours is wrong and I have the ‘right’ to act as I wish
    because my perspective is the only valid guiding force
    in the situation. She adds, “Leaders set the tone of
    the talk and the rules of the game. Without any
    political polarity, it is safe to say that it is a
    magnificent rarity in the western world today that a
    leader distinguishes fact from personal opinion and
    perspective, and that lack of intelligence and personal
    discipline has set the stage for disregarding blatant
    discrimination, accusations, violent crimes, human
    emotion and simple common courtesy.” An international
    communications expert specializing in peace education

    4. ==> How Journalists Deal with Fake News

    Polls show an alarming number of people only listen to
    what they want to hear and only what aligns with their
    own biases. Most disturbing is an overwhelming number
    of Americans believe that journalists fabricate the
    news. Karl Suchman says the reputation of professional
    journalism has been hijacked and distorted and he’s fed
    up with the dog whistle antics of those who have
    exploited true patriots in the news business to foment
    anger and distrust while raking in the ratings and
    millions of dollars. “The reputation of professional
    journalism has been hijacked and distorted
    by hucksters, personalities and politicians pretending
    to sell the truth, but in reality they are peddling
    distrust and ‘alternative facts.’” Invite the author of
    “Murdering the Message: How Real Journalists Cope with
    Fake News” to share how journalists fight through their
    own biases and what motivates them, from local radio
    and television to network news and sports. Contact him

    5. ==> October Jobs Report: Good News for Workers

    On Friday, the federal government will release the
    national unemployment statistics for October,
    confirming the continuation of the lowest unemployment
    rates in almost half a century. This comes despite a
    roller coaster-like stock market, midterm election
    jitters, two devastating hurricanes, and interest rate
    hikes by the Fed. Diane Huth, The Accidental Career
    Coach, explains what this means for employees today.
    “Now is a great time to get focused on upping
    your game and either getting a promotion in your
    current job or finding a new better-paying job. This is
    especially true for workers who took a less-than-
    desirable job a few years ago when openings were tight
    and may have settled for a lower salary that is
    competitive today.” Huth will explain how to move
    within your company to increase your pay, learn new
    skills to keep up-to-date in your field, and create a
    resume that can be scanned in 7- seconds and highlight
    your best credentials. Diane Huth is the author of
    career guides “Brand You! To Land Your Dream Job” and

    6. ==> Psychotherapist Reveals How to Heal Our National
    Trauma

    Last week, even Mr. Roger’s neighborhood was not safe
    as 11 Jews were murdered and four policemen were shot
    at a synagogue in Pittsburgh near where the late
    television star lived. What happened in Pittsburgh was
    unthinkable and continues to resonate around the
    country. How can Pittsburgh heal? For that matter, how
    can America heal from its own national trauma caused by
    hate crimes and growing polarization? Psychotherapist
    Gillian Padgett has insights on what to do when the
    unthinkable happens—whether it is murder, abuse or the
    result of a natural disaster. She’ll share the ABCs of
    coping with trauma and why the country and individuals
    who experience it will be forever changed but can come
    out stronger. In addition to being a psychotherapist,
    Gillian is a hypnotherapist trained to work with
    victims of crime and families of murder victims. Her

    7. ==> The Day After: What to Do with All that Candy

    Trick or Treating means bags full of candy that are not
    only tempting to children, but also to their parents
    who sneak sugary treats from their children’s stash.
    Candy carries a triple whammy: cavities, weight gain,
    and empty calories. Let Sora Vernikoff help you figure
    out what to do with all that candy. Should you let your
    kids eat all the candy they want? Should you restrict
    access to it? Sora will explain what is best. She’ll
    also teach her Green technique parents and kids can use
    to stop themselves from eating too much candy. Sora has
    taught her program under the auspices of a leading New
    York City endocrinologist as well as at the Learning
    Annex and Lennox Hill Hospital. She lost 25 pounds and
    has kept them off for decades and has helped hundreds

    8. ==> Honor Veterans by Living Lives of Purpose

    It is only natural to think about the freedoms
    Americans have won as a result of the sacrifices made
    by veterans of the armed forces. As Veterans Day
    approaches, along with the parades and retail sales,
    award-winning author and speaker Melissa Lyons suggests
    that we pause to consider what it really means to live
    as free people aligned with our true purpose. Perhaps
    the best way to honor veterans, she says, is to use
    their memory to enhance our lives and those of future
    generations. Melissa Lyons is an award-winning author,
    speaker and entrepreneur who has been featured on CTV
    News, CBC radio and other media outlets. She is
    passionate about helping people connect with and
    embrace fresh perspectives when faced with loss or

    9. ==> This Nazi Germany Survivor Forgave Hitler

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

    10. ==> She Makes Back, Neck, Knee and Headache Pain Go
    Away

    Did you know that 25.3 million Americans endure chronic
    pain every day and that another 40 million say they are
    coping with severe pain? The U.S. has plenty of adults
    whose backs, shoulders, knees, joints, and muscles
    inhibit their quality of life or who suffer from
    blinding headaches and chronic fatigue. Anna Lee, M.D.,
    wants people in pain to know that they don’t have to
    live with it or medicate it away. Dr. Lee is the only
    physician in the country with an FDA-approved dry
    needling treatment for pain relief that has already
    helped thousands of people eliminate or reduce lifelong
    pain. She’s helped runners with torn hamstrings to be
    able to run again and one person who came in on a
    stretcher to walk out of her office on his own power.
    Dr. Lee is a board-certified pain management physician
    who trained at Hahnemann and the University of
    Pennsylvania. She recently opened a clinic in New
    Jersey. Reach her at (201) 925-0315; drlee1@optimum.net

    11. ==> This M.D. Has a Three-Pronged Cure for Opioid
    Addiction

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

    When Anthony Randle’s wife Jessica was diagnosed with
    stage four breast cancer, he seriously considered
    leaving her. But he had a vivid dream about his

    him to stay. With a combination of traditional medicine
    and alternative healing, Jessica actually thrived
    during chemo, and is now cancer free! “After every
    treatment, I wanted her to relax,” Anthony says. “But
    she would have so much energy that we would
    go play tennis. The ball would rush past me!” Anthony
    recounts his experiences in his acclaimed book “The

    possible moment to act. Procrastination can turn into
    the enemy, but Mariann Adams will show you how to use
    it to your advantage! She’ll explain the neuroscience
    behind procrastination and how we’re all hard-wired to
    do it, as well as how it affects ability and self-
    esteem. She says, “Procrastination is a form of
    performance anxiety. It isn’t a defect, it
    actually means the brain and body are working as they
    should. And procrastination isn’t overcome by force;
    it’s overcome by a core understanding of how the body
    and brain work, and using it to one’s advantage.”

    Did you know that there are over 200 killers in your
    home? And that your family is placed at risk every day
    from the cumulative effect of these poisons and known
    cancer causing agents? It’s not fast, it’s slow, and

    #MeToo Age

    Dads play a very important role when it comes to
    empowering their young daughters to become strong,
    independent women. However, there is a dearth of
    support for these men. Long-time female empowerment
    advocate Kailin Gow offers valuable insights for dads
    of daughters. “Raising a daughter who is aware and
    knowledgeable of the world so that she can navigate
    through it with her eyes open, rather than closed, can

    especially for dads: “Raising Strong Daughters: What
    Fathers Should Know.” She can share how men can help to

    17. ==> Forget Positive Thinking, There’s Something
    Better

    Generations of people have been taught to believe what
    they think and ignore what they feel. But Laura Di
    Franco says feeling is direct access to your inner
    guidance system; the conscious presence the world needs
    for healthy, impactful change. “Feeling is healing.
    Until we embrace topics like this, ideas worth sharing
    will only be superficial thinking in minds that stay
    fearful and disconnected. Positive feeling will be the
    way to the life you desire.” Laura will encourage your
    listeners to be brave and listen to their feelings and
    explain how when you heal, you are able to connect more
    with what you love. Laura DiFranco MPT is a licensed,

    Addiction!”

    Is going to rehab a waste of time? Why do so many
    people admit themselves only to get out and relapse?
    Why does AA only work for about 15% of the people who

    aren’t spending time getting to the root of their
    addiction – and some actually end up trading in one
    addiction for another. Dr. McGee will share how
    understanding why people want and need to make

    1. ==> What Trump Doesn’t Understand about Anti-
    Semitism

    After this weekend’s shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue
    President Trump commented that ‘you wouldn’t believe’
    anti-Semitism could still be going on. Jeffrey Herf
    says clearly Trump doesn’t actually understand the
    nature of anti-Semitism. “You ‘wouldn’t believe’ it
    only if you were clueless about the history and the
    contemporary reality of hatred for Jews. It is an odd
    cluelessness for a man who declares himself a great
    friend of Israel and has three Jewish grandchildren.”
    He adds, “Trump’s contribution to the revival of anti-
    Semitism in American politics lies in his penchant for
    conspiracy theories — evident, for example, in the
    disgusting closing commercial of his 2016 campaign. It
    included dark insinuations about global forces, with
    photos of prominent Jewish figures. That commercial was
    an unambiguous and obvious appeal to anti-Semitism. If
    Nazi propagandists had seen it, they might have
    considered it an update of some of their own posters.”
    Jeffrey Herf is distinguished university professor of
    history at the University of Maryland. His books
    include “The Jewish Enemy: Nazi Propaganda During World
    War II and the Holocaust.” Contact him at (301)

    2. ==> Surviving the New Age of Hate Crimes

    The mass shooting at the synagogue in Pittsburgh and
    the shooting of two black people at the Kroger in
    Jefferson, Ky., are but the latest in a series of hate
    crimes that have left many people feeling helpless.
    During such times, Ellen Korman Mains, daughter of
    Holocaust survivors, says, there is an alternative to
    getting depressed—or worse—lashing out in anger with
    more hate. She’ll explain how we can put our emotional
    reactions to better use by tapping into the feelings
    just beneath the anger or helplessness to connect with
    what makes us truly human; this is where the potential
    for change really lies. Ellen can share three ways to
    contribute to positive change in the world and in
    ourselves. Ellen is a Buddhist who has spent ten years
    exploring her own family history of violence. Her

    National Geographic’s critically acclaimed documentary

    warning sensors volcanologists have in place to warn of

    6. ==> Why You Should Embrace the Fear this Halloween

    In this season of fright and fear, you might wonder why
    people willingly embrace fear? But Dr. Dee Carroll says
    everyone should! “By facing our fears instead of
    running from them, we can not only minimize them but
    strengthen ourselves to face, and overcome, even bigger
    challenges. Through this refining process, we not only
    become clearer about our goals in life but also
    emotionally stronger and better equipped to handle
    whatever life sends our way.” Dr. Carroll can discuss
    why you should welcome fear, how to use negative
    emotions to your advantage and how to use adversity as
    a catalyst for success. Dr. Dee Carroll has used huge
    emotional and financial difficulties in her own life to
    propel herself toward success and to help others
    overcome their own challenges. A speaker, coach and

    airborne cameraman for big television shows. But he’s
    had other brushes with death too that can only be
    described as paranormal. For Halloween, he’ll tell real
    ghost stories that will give you goosebumps. For
    instance, how and why a murder victim contacted him
    from the other side before anyone even knew he was
    dead. How his deceased mother contacted a woman she
    didn’t even know to send him a message and managed to
    answer a question only she would know. And how a week
    after his best friend died that friend was able to pass
    along information that helped David win custody of his
    son. David is the author of “Help from Above: How I
    Went from Sweeping the Floor to Painting the Sky” and
    his latest, “Help from Above Book 2: What Lies Above
    the Clouds.” Neither book is about ghosts per se but
    each contains real-life adventure stories. Reach him at

    8. ==> What Your Nightmares Are Trying to Tell You

    As Halloween approaches do our nightmares increase? Are
    there really valuable intuitive messages in our
    nightmares? Intuitive expert and spiritual psychic Nora
    Truscello reveals that nightmares are actually good for
    us. Behind nightmares and those sexually charged dreams
    nobody wants to wake from, are intuitive messages meant
    to assist you? Invite her to reveal the hidden secrets
    behind our dreams and how much control we have over
    what we dream, if we even dream at all. Her latest

    9. ==> This Priest Helps Lost Souls Cross Over

    Over the past 20 years, Nathan G. Castle, OP, says he
    has helped at least 250 people who died suddenly adjust
    to the afterlife. Victims of fires, automobile
    accidents, shootings, stabbings and drownings come to
    him in his dreams seeking help for resolving their
    Interrupted Death Experiences™. Father Nathan has come
    to believe that providing this help is something the
    Holy Spirit has given him to do. He’ll describe the
    unusual work he does with people who were conscious and
    healthy one moment and dead the next. “It can be a huge
    shock to the system and people can shut down,” he says.
    He is quick to point out that not everyone who dies
    suddenly gets stuck. Ask him: How does he help people
    cross over? How did he assist Patrick Swayze’s deceased
    sister? Do deceased relatives help us adjust to moving
    through our own deaths? Nathan Castle has been a
    Catholic priest of the semi-contemplative Dominican
    Order since 1979. His new book is “Afterlife,
    Interrupted: Helping Stuck Souls Cross Over.” Contact

    10. ==> She Takes the Scary out of Starting Your Own
    Business

    Owning and running your own business can be just as
    scary as confronting a ghost or zombie. But while small
    business owners don’t have to deal with the Wolfman or
    Frankenstein they do have to confront monsters of their
    own making: their own fears and doubts. Speaking with
    the authority gained from 30 years’ experience in
    launching, running and growing profitable businesses,
    Fabi Preslar can talk about ways the fear of failure
    can be paralyzing and facing it can be empowering and
    share lessons she learned from her own missteps. Fear
    and failure are two of the F words detailed in her new
    book, “Fabulous F Words of Business Ownership:
    Redefining Choice Words to Fuel Your Small Business.”

    11. ==> How Many Sexopaths Have Been in the White
    House?

    The #MeToo movement has demonstrated that sociopathic
    sex addicts—also known as sexopaths—are frequently
    found in positions of power. But how many sexopaths
    have been in the White House? Using her Sexopath
    Spotting Tool, Nicole Kelly, M.D., will discuss the
    current and former White House occupants and whether
    they qualify. She can also answer such questions as
    what is the definition of a sexopath? Does being a
    sexopath or sociopath make you more successful? Why
    are sexopaths attracted to power? Kelly is a board-
    certified physician who was victimized by a sociopathic
    sex addict who embezzled over $700,000 from her medical
    practice. Her book “Charming Cheaters: Protect Yourself

    Life” comes out in November. Reach her at (615)

    12. ==> Why Changing the Clocks Won’t Give You an Extra
    Hour of Sleep

    On November 4th, Americans turn their clocks back one
    hour, reverting to standard time, when the sun rises
    and sets an hour “earlier” than it did during Daylight
    Savings Time. While this may seem like an extra hour of
    sleep, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith says, it’s not going to
    recharge your battery and make you feel better rested
    than before. Dr. Saundra says the quality of a night’s
    rest doesn’t depend on the hours slept, but on the rest
    we get during our waking hours: specifically, seven
    types of rest that help us sleep more soundly, and live
    more richly, no matter what time the sun rises or sets.
    Dr. Saundra will reveal many aspects of sleep hygiene
    that are rarely discussed. Her advice and expertise has
    been featured in Woman’s Day and Prevention magazines.

    are just a few of the common phobias people have. Then

    14. ==> 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 will share
    the 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

    Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates found career success

    Martin and Kevin Kiley to learn why is now the best
    time to think about going to grad school. Find out

    themselves. With decades of experience on the open-mic

    17. ==> Transform Stress into Success in Just 5 Minutes

    In September 2015, John J. Fenton was fortunate to
    survive the ultimate wake-up call. It came in the form
    of an emergency heart catheterization in which his
    heart stopped. Luckily, Fenton not only survived, but
    figured out a way to view his worst day as his best day
    because it helped him to discover what he really wanted
    to do with his life: to spend more time with his wife
    and daughter and to touch the lives of more people. The
    former college football player and former managing
    partner of a CPA firm found a new calling—helping other
    busy executives and CEOs to live their lives by design
    and without sacrificing what is most important to them.
    Fenton has set down all the lessons he learned so that
    others can master them without having to undergo a
    health emergency in his new book “5 Minute Mastery.”

    In her 20-year career as a counselor working with
    patients with anxiety and depression and teaching
    special needs students, Norma Nikutowski learned a
    universal truth: everyone has the capacity for
    happiness, it’s just a matter of turning it on and
    keeping it on. The Argentinian-born Nikutowski will
    delve into what happiness is, the detours people take
    in trying to achieve it, the role positive thinking
    plays in happiness, the habits of happy people and much
    more. She’ll share ways to immediately change your
    mood—including decluttering your home or workspace and
    doing at least one activity you enjoy every day, and
    why instead of complaining about what you dislike, you
    should focus on and enjoy everything that is working in
    your life. Norma Nikutowski has spent several decades
    counseling patients with anxiety and depression to
    focus on the positive aspects of their lives. She’s the

    19. ==> ‘I Lost Everything and I’m Glad I Did’

    When he purchased a metal fabrication business in the
    heartland of America, Ken Yager never expected what
    would happen next. He not only lost the company but
    also his house, his wife and his family. But that awful
    experience 14 years ago motivated him to get a master’s
    degree in management and to find a new life purpose:
    helping companies in similar situations to the one that
    cost him everything he held dear. This experienced TV
    and radio guest can share what it is like to face your
    last payroll and see everything you worked for years
    about to be lost; it’s a topic few talk about but he

    20. ==> How to Love Yourself More after You’ve Hit Rock
    Bottom

    Life is full of experiences that shape us as
    individuals and change who we are. Rather than breaking
    us, traumatic experiences can make us stronger and more
    beautiful than ever. Rani St. Pucchi, best known as a
    trend-setting fashion designer for 30+ years, developed
    the philosophy after dressing more than 20,000 women in
    her career. “We are all broken and every break has left
    a wound,” St. Pucchi says. “Every wrinkle is a roadmap
    of our life journey, every scar a solemn decoration. It
    is up to us to stay broken or gather our pieces and
    choose to become whole again.” Rani St. Pucchi is an
    empowerment coach, inspirational speaker, bestselling
    author, an award-winning fashion designer and president
    of St. Pucchi, the internationally acclaimed bridal

    1. ==> Is the Nuke Race On Again?

    President Trump wants to dump the decades-old
    Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with Russia.
    He says the Russians have been violating the agreement
    for years and it puts the US at a disadvantage with
    China’s missile arsenal. Alice Slater, New York
    Director of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, says the
    United States and Russia are in an unholy struggle to
    keep the nuclear arms race going. “Now is an
    opportunity to take a time-out on nuclear gamesmanship,
    new threats, trillions of wasted dollars … on weapons
    systems that Presidents Reagan and Gorbachev
    acknowledged, back in 1987 at the end of the Cold War,
    could never be used, warning that ‘A nuclear war cannot
    be won and must never be fought.’” Slater serves on the
    Coordinating Committee of World Beyond War. She wrote
    the piece “The International Campaign to Abolish
    Nuclear Weapons Is Honored with a Nobel Peace Prize”
    for The Nation. Contact her at alicejslater@gmail.com

    2. ==> Behind the Music: The Cars & Benjamin Orr

    The iconic 70s rock group The Cars has sold over 30
    million albums worldwide and earned 15 Top 40 hits.

    Orr and the Cars,” interviewed more than 20 family
    members, friends, bandmates, and music associates from
    Orr’s life to provide an intimate portrait of one of
    classic rock’s great talents. Often considered the
    band’s heartthrob, Orr possessed an incredible voice,
    diverse musical talent and rare stage presence, all
    balanced by a magnetic, yet enigmatic personality,
    striking good looks, and a relentless determination to
    reach rock stardom. Ben Orr passed away in October 2000
    at the age of 53 from pancreatic cancer. The Cars were
    inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in April
    2018. Contact Johanna Ramos-Boyer at (703) 646-5137;

    getting rave reviews, just qualified for Oscar
    nomination and premieres across the country on Nov.

    sheets. Invite Wolf on your show to discuss what
    inspired him to make the movie as well as what he
    learned during the process including what’s happening

    affect that has on communities and families. Contact

    Zach Holmes, the star of MTV’s buzzy new series Too
    Stupid to Die, heads up a crew of knuckleheads in rural
    Indiana who perform outrageous stunts and hilarious
    (and usually dangerous) pranks for their own amusement.
    Zach became an online sensation with his videos over
    the last decade (which included dropping a washing
    machine from a second-story window onto one end of a
    see-saw so the other end hits him in the crotch).
    Beginning November 2nd, MTV viewers will have the
    chance to watch Zach and his crew perform their insane

    8. ==> Why You Should Embrace Fear

    In this season of fright and fear, you might wonder who
    would willingly embrace fear? Dr. Dee Carroll says we
    all should! “By facing our fears instead of running
    from them, we can not only minimize them but strengthen
    ourselves to face, and overcome, even bigger
    challenges. Through this refining process, we not only
    become clearer about our goals in life but also
    emotionally stronger and better equipped to handle
    whatever life sends our way.” Dr. Carroll can discuss
    why you should welcome fear, how to use negative
    emotions to your advantage and how to use adversity as
    a catalyst for success. Dr. Dee Carroll has used huge
    emotional and financial difficulties in her own life to
    propel herself toward success and to help others
    overcome their own challenges. A speaker, coach and

    10. ==> Why Single Moms Get Stuck in their Careers

    According to Pew Research, in 2013 women were the
    primary breadwinners in 40 percent of American
    households, and in a vast majority of those households
    the breadwinner was a single mother. However, another
    statistic stands out for author, blogger and single
    mother Sara Sherman: 80 percent of single mothers do
    not have the education they need to advance in their
    careers. A former welfare mother, Sherman encourages
    other mothers to earn a diploma, learn a trade, get a
    degree and advance their careers by giving them the
    steps they need to do precisely that. Sherman wrote
    “The Single Mom’s Guide to Getting a Degree” and its
    companion workbook to answer the question she was often
    asked: How did she go to school, work, raise her kids,
    and get an education all at the same time … as a single
    parent? Sherman hopes her books will inspire other
    single moms to go back to school as she did; she earned
    a B.A. in public relations and an M.A. in public
    administration while holding down a demanding job with
    a long commute. She also made time to volunteer at her
    children’s school and to be a scout leader. Contact her

    11. ==> Why Your Kids Won’t Live as Long as You

    Did you know that there are over 200 killers in your
    home? And that your family is placed at risk every day
    from the cumulative effect of these poisons and known
    cancer causing agents? It’s not fast, it’s slow, and
    over time manifests as cancer or some other disease.
    And it’s one of the reasons why our kids will NOT live
    as long as their parents. Mylaine Riobe, MD, FACOG,
    will tell your audience about the recent reports
    linking toxins to common items in our home… from
    cereals to soaps, detergents to air fresheners, even
    medicines! Things we always thought were safe could be
    slowly killing our kids. Dr. Riobe has a multi-faceted

    12. ==> Pssst… Procedures Don’t Have to Be So Painful!

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

    13. ==> Why ‘What’s for Dinner?’ Matters for You &
    Earth

    Our environmental, health, and economic problems can
    seem so enormous and numerous that people often don’t
    know where to begin in helping to solve them. But Ellen
    Moyer, Ph.D. says, “We hold the power to help (or hurt)
    ourselves and many aspects of our world just by the
    foods we choose to eat. Our choices made day after day
    add up to make a real difference.” She’ll discuss
    practical things we can do when it comes to our food
    choices to help ourselves and our world at the same
    time. You’ll also hear shocking facts about our food
    supply that aren’t well publicized, but that every
    eater should know. Moyer is a registered professional
    engineer with a B.A. in anthropology, an M.S. in
    environmental engineering, a Ph.D. in civil
    engineering, and 30 years of environmental engineering
    experience. “Our Earth, Our Species, Our Selves: How to
    Thrive While Creating a Sustainable World” is her third
    book. Contact her at (413) 862-3452; ellenmoyer@em-

    14. ==> She Takes the Scary out of Starting Your Own
    Business

    Owning and running your own business can be just as
    scary as confronting a ghost or zombie. But while small
    business owners don’t have to deal with the Wolfman or
    Frankenstein they do have to confront monsters of their
    own making: their own fears and doubts. Speaking with
    the authority gained from 30 years’ experience in
    launching, running and growing profitable businesses,
    Fabi Preslar can talk about ways the fear of failure
    can be paralyzing and facing it can be empowering and
    share lessons she learned from her own missteps. Fear
    and failure are two of the F words detailed in her new
    book, “Fabulous F Words of Business Ownership:
    Redefining Choice Words to Fuel Your Small Business.”
    Fabi (Fay-Bee) is president of SPARK Publications, the
    Charlotte Business Journal’s 2018 First-Generation
    Family Business of the Year. Reach her at (704)

    15. ==> Have You Been Fat-Shamed?

    It happens to men and women—even celebrities such as
    Serena Williams, Selena Gomez, Kelly Clarkson and Amy
    Schumer. Fat-shaming—criticizing people’s physical
    appearance based on their weight—is both rude and
    hurtful. But take it from Nicole Black, who was fat-
    shamed for 30 years, reaching a peak when she packed an
    extra 100 pounds on her 5-ft. 1-inch frame, feeling
    like a victim is strictly optional. Invite Black to
    reveal the insecurities that drive people to fat-shame
    others (it has nothing to do with you), share 7 steps
    you can take after a surprise fat-shaming, and discuss
    her own journey of yo-yoing from fat to thin and back
    again even as she operated successful bakeries. The
    author of “Fat Shame: Ditch the Shame, Get Confident,
    and Claim the Life You Deserve,” says it’s not about
    dieting, nutrition, exercise or even bariatric surgery
    (which is how she eventually slimmed down to 118
    pounds.) She says the key is in achieving self-love,
    something she struggled with when she felt unhappy and
    ashamed despite her new size four body. Contact her at

    16. ==> What’s a Flow State? (and How to Find Yours)

    Beyond ‘going with the flow,’ Dashama Gordon says there
    is a state of consciousness called the flow state,
    where the mind is able to move beyond normal thinking
    mode to a higher realm to access clarity and
    creativity. She adds that being in the flow state can
    lead to improved health, happiness and productivity as
    well as lead to a more peaceful world. Dashama, who’s
    been leading flow state trainings worldwide for 13
    years, says, “I predict that the flow state will not
    only become a growing interest for corporations but
    also for universities, government, the arts and
    sciences, etc. As humans evolve and learn to master the
    flow state, we will see more harmony and peace between
    people, nations and religious groups.” She’ll explain
    how to access the flow state, and share simple flow
    state meditation practices and breathing techniques.
    Dashama has been featured on ABC, NBC, FOX News,
    Oprah.com and many other media outlets. Her new book is
    “Yoga for Surfing: Tips, Techniques, and Living the
    Flow State.” Contact her at (808) 283-2646;

    17. ==> Do a Show About Honoring ‘Ta-Tas’

    After her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer,
    best-selling author and former Miss America contestant
    Jane Jenkins Herlong decided to write the book “What
    Ta-Tas Teach Us,” to honor her and encourage other
    women to take better care of their own ta-tas. “The
    bottom line is that my sister did not take care of
    herself,” Jane says. “Complete health is a combination
    of a healthy body, mind and spirit, and I saw how my
    sister struggled with her emotions.” In addition to
    donating proceeds from the book to a breast cancer
    group, Jane shares how women can take better care of
    themselves on every level. She is the author of four
    books including Indie Book Award-winning “Rhinestones
    on My Flip-Flops.” She is also a popular speaker who
    was inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame, and a
    gifted singer who has recorded music CDs, and
    humor/personal growth DVDs. Her comedy is featured on
    Sirius XM 97. Contact her at
    janejenkinsherlong@gmail.com or (803) 480-1190.

    18. ==> Is Political Correctness Good for Kids?

    These days, nothing’s more American than telling it
    like it is – but author Wade Meadows says people are
    too blunt, even brutal with each other, all in defiance
    of this thing called “political correctness.” A
    survivor of verbal and physical abuse, Wade will reveal
    the lasting damage harsh, nasty language does to
    children and grown-ups, and discuss the power of words
    to build up or break down our relationships. Wade can
    be reached at (225) 397-0785; bhchism50@yahoo.com.

    19. ==> This Nazi Germany Survivor Forgave Hitler

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

    20. ==> Our World Really Needs Help: What We Can Do

    Mark Landau says that new means to help solve our
    problems are appearing. “A new bio-molecular miracle
    that can supercharge any soil, dramatically increase
    food production and nutrition, enhance the health of
    bees and suck the carbon from the air back into the
    Earth. The hundred best ways to reverse global warming.
    A molecule that enhances intelligence and memory
    suppressed by our government. The hidden legal matrix
    that creates a permanent American undercaste and how
    Portugal solved the problem the War on Drugs only makes
    worse. And the only effective way for us to take back
    our country and establish a true democracy. All this
    and more in his new book, “A New American Evolution.”

    1. ==> Hot to Get Young People to Vote? Taunt Them

    In an effort to get younger people to register to vote
    ahead of the upcoming midterm elections, progressive
    group Acronym has released a new ad featuring older
    voters taunting younger Americans about prevalent
    issues. In the ad, the elderly voters sarcastically
    implore that younger voters stay home on Election Day
    so that things remain the same. “We’ll be there, I bet
    you won’t,” one senior says. “Because we’re a
    generation of doers not whiners and we’re doing great.”
    “Climate change? That’s a you problem. I’ll be dead
    soon,” another elderly woman says. The ad – part of
    Acronym’s Knock the Vote campaign – plays on the fact
    that younger Americans are less likely to show up to
    the polls compared with older voters. Tara McGowan is
    founder and CEO of ACRONYM, the largest digital program
    deploying new digital tools and strategies nationwide
    to encourage voters to register to vote online and show
    up at the polls on Election Day. Contact her at
    @taraemcg; weare@anotheracronym.org

    2. ==> PBS’ ‘Take On America’ – Black Men in Baltimore

    “Take on America,” the groundbreaking new primetime PBS
    series tackling hot-button issues through the lens of
    race, premieres tonight with ‘Black Men in Baltimore.’
    The town hall features the voices of 100 black men and
    moderators include former ESPN journalist and Atlantic
    writer Jemele Hill, Maryland gubernatorial candidate
    Ben Jealous, “The Wire” actor Lawrence Gillard Jr., and
    professor and journalist D. Watkins, a former drug
    dealer and NPR commentator. The show features candid
    conversations on the justice system, police brutality,
    and the state of the war on drugs, the legacy of
    slavery in Trump’s America, and the question of “Is
    Colin Kaepernick a hero?” Future episodes, airing
    Thursdays, will be “White Women in Nashville,” “Latino
    Families in NYC,” and “Millennials in San Francisco.”

    3. ==> Smithsonian’s ‘The Lost Tapes: Clinton
    Impeachment’

    The 1998 impeachment of President Clinton is the focus
    of the upcoming Smithsonian Channel special, ‘The Lost
    Tapes: Clinton Impeachment’, an event that created
    polarization and gender politics issues still felt 20
    years later. The latest installment of the critically
    acclaimed Lost Tapes series recalls the dramatic twists
    and forgotten moments of the scandal with media footage
    and never-seen recordings from familiar faces such as
    Jeff Sessions, Bernie Sanders and even President Trump.
    Emmy & Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Tom Jennings can
    discuss the new special, the impact the Clinton
    impeachment had on history and American politics, and
    the parallels that may be drawn with today’s White
    House. ‘The Lost Tapes: Clinton Impeachment’ airs on
    the Smithsonian Channel this month. Contact John Angelo
    at john@premieretv.com.

    4. ==> The Media is not the Enemy of the People

    Polls show an alarming number of people only listen to
    what they want to hear and only what aligns with their
    own biases. Most disturbing is an overwhelming number
    of Americans believe that journalists fabricate the
    news. Karl Suchman says the reputation of professional
    journalism has been hijacked and distorted and he’s fed
    up with the dog whistle antics of those who have
    exploited true patriots in the news business to foment
    anger and distrust while raking in the ratings and
    millions of dollars. “The reputation of professional
    journalism has been hijacked and distorted by
    hucksters, personalities and politicians pretending to
    sell the truth, but in reality they are peddling
    distrust and ‘alternative facts.’” Invite the author of
    “Murdering the Message: How Real Journalists Cope with
    Fake News” to share how journalists fight through their
    own biases and what motivates them, from local radio
    and television to network news and sports. Contact him
    at (972) 345-4670; ksuchman@sbcglobal.net

    5. ==> Hats Off to Eugenie’s Backless Wedding Dress!

    When Princess Eugenie married last weekend her backless
    gown highlighted a large scar from scoliosis surgery as
    a young girl. She said it was her way to honor the
    people who looked after her and a way of standing up
    for young people who suffer with the condition. Award-
    winning fashion designer Rani St. Pucchi says the
    choice was an empowering one. “Every wrinkle is a
    roadmap of our life journey, every scar a solemn
    decoration. It is up to us to stay broken or gather our
    pieces and choose to become whole again. Rather than
    breaking us, traumatic experiences can make us stronger
    and more beautiful than ever.” Rani St. Pucchi is an
    empowerment coach, inspirational speaker, bestselling
    author, an award-winning fashion designer and president
    of St. Pucchi, the internationally acclaimed bridal
    fashion house. She draws on her lifelong struggle
    against domestic abuse and 32 years in the fashion
    industry to help women abandon debilitating self-doubt.
    “Gold in the Cracks: Move from Shattered to Whole and
    Reveal Your Light” is her fourth book. Contact her at

    6. ==> Are the Dead Trying to Talk to You at Halloween?

    Could it be that deceased relatives are trying to speak
    with you? They very well might be but you have only to
    listen to them, says Ellen Mains, an author and
    meditation guide who has tuned into her great-
    grandmother and other Polish ancestors. In a show that
    works for both Halloween, when the dead take center
    stage, and All Souls Day, Nov. 2, Mains can talk about
    ways connecting with the dead through meditation can
    mitigate their suffering and ours, connecting and
    healing the generations. Mains can also talk about the
    fascinating journey she took to Poland to connect with
    souls who died in the Holocaust. The story is told in
    her new book, “Buried Rivers: A Spiritual Journey into
    the Holocaust.” Reach her at (720) 292-4520;

    7. ==> Do a Show on Growing Up with Ghosts… and their
    Stories

    What’s it like growing up in family homes surrounded by
    ghosts and their stories? Interview Ivan Obolensky and
    find out! Ivan’s rich personal history includes his
    grandfather, Serge Obolensky – the famed “Prince of New
    York”, and his grandmother Alice (of Astor fame) who
    died holding an Egyptian book of the dead on her chest.
    Convinced that people lived on after death, she proved
    it by scaring off governesses and attracting a large
    number of black cats that kept returning to her home on
    61st Street in NYC even after extermination was tried.
    The family home was finally exorcised. His grandfather,
    Serge, had ghost stories of his own to tell. A
    particular Captain, supposedly recovering from TB in
    the Crimea, appeared to Serge’s mother and a butler at
    the family country home many miles away… and then
    vanished right before their eyes! They learned later
    he had already died. Ivan Obolensky is an author and a
    true Renaissance man in his own right. His novel “Eye
    of the Moon” won Best First Book (Fiction) in the
    IRDA’s. Contact Ivan Obolensky at (818) 662-9731;

    8. ==> What Your Nightmares Are Trying to Tell You

    As Halloween approaches do our nightmares increase? Are
    there really valuable intuitive messages in our
    nightmares? Intuitive expert and spiritual psychic Nora
    Truscello reveals that nightmares are actually good for
    us. Behind nightmares and those sexually charged dreams
    nobody wants to wake from, are intuitive messages meant
    to assist you? Invite her to reveal the hidden secrets
    behind our dreams and how much control we have over
    what we dream, if we even dream at all. Her latest
    book, The Science of Intuition, reveals techniques
    designed to make intuition an accessible,
    understandable, everyday occurrence. Truscello has been
    featured by various radio shows. Contact her at (302)
    803-2307 (PA); Nora@IntoIntuition.com

    9. ==> Halloween 101 for Parents

    What foods should you give your children before they go
    trick-or-treating so they don’t fill up on candy? Is it
    better to purchase candy made with sugar or corn syrup?
    Learn the answers to those questions and more when you
    interview wellness expert Adita Yrizarry-Lang. For
    parents who want to take a healthier approach to
    Halloween, she’ll share the unique way she has
    “trained” her 8- and 12-year-old to handle the holiday,
    tips for starting your own young kids off right and why
    you should think twice before bringing your kids’
    trick-or-treat booty to work or diving into it
    yourself. Adita is a 30-year wellness educator who has
    been quoted in Shape and Fitness. She is the author of
    “SuperPowers, A Busy Woman’s Guide to Health and
    Happiness.” Reach her at (305) 794-6505;

    10. ==> She Makes Back, Neck, Knee and Headache Pain Go
    Away

    Did you know that 25.3 million Americans endure chronic
    pain every day and that another 40 million say they are
    coping with severe pain? The U.S. has plenty of adults
    whose backs, shoulders, knees, joints, and muscles
    inhibit their quality of life or who suffer from
    blinding headaches and chronic fatigue. Anna Lee, M.D.,
    wants people in pain to know that they don’t have to
    live with it or medicate it away. Dr. Lee is the only
    physician in the country with an FDA-approved dry
    needling treatment for pain relief that has already
    helped thousands of people eliminate or reduce lifelong
    pain. She’s helped runners with torn hamstrings to be
    able to run again and one person who came in on a
    stretcher to walk out of her office on his own power.
    Dr. Lee is a board-certified pain management physician
    who trained at Hahnemann and the University of
    Pennsylvania. She recently opened a clinic in New
    Jersey. Reach her at (201) 925-0315; drlee1@optimum.net

    11. ==> This M.D. Can Cure Autism – Without Even
    Meeting Her Patients!

    While the majority of medical professionals believe
    that there is no cure for autism, Dr. Rajalakshmi
    Kandaswamy strongly disagrees. In fact, she has helped
    hundreds of children with non-verbal autism and ADHD,
    without ever meeting them in person! She accomplishes
    this through her unique remote healing method called
    Intent Healing™. “I am the only autism expert and
    expert in nonverbal autism who is a medical doctor and
    a healer who is helping nonverbal autistic children
    from all over the world communicate through speech in
    10 (or less) remote healing sessions, without meeting
    or seeing any of them in person,” she says. With over
    25 years of experience in remote healing, she recently
    was recognized by Buzzfeed as one of five professionals
    in the world to watch out for in the autism arena. She
    is the author of the book “How to Heal Autism and ADHD
    in 30 Days: The Phenomenally Powerful Breakthrough of
    Intent Healing,” and a graduate of India’s premier
    medical college C.M.C Vellore. Contact her at

    12. ==> Here’s Why Incompetent Coworkers Don’t Get
    Fired

    Every company has one: an employee who should be fired
    but isn’t. You know, the person who comes in late and
    leaves early. Or takes credit for other people’s work.
    Or, like the character Creed in “The Office,” is just
    plain incompetent. Business consultant Bonnie Sussman
    Versace can address this common but mystifying
    situation. She knows why employers don’t fire these
    awful employees and what a terrible toll this takes on
    everyone else. She says, “One employee can bring a
    company to its knees. It becomes a lack of
    accountability on the boss’ part for his or her
    inaction.” Bonnie is the author of “Recipes for
    Thoughtful Leadership and Healthy Culture.” She is the
    author of numerous articles for Business Weekly, the
    Reading Eagle, and Lehigh Business Journal. Contact her
    at (610) 301-2194 or bversace@focusedllc.net

    13. ==> Bad Mistakes Even Good Teachers Make

    Did you know that many teachers, in trying to encourage
    their students, actually embarrass them? That
    embarrassment leads to discouragement, which if left
    unchecked kills whatever love of learning our kids
    have. All children have the innate desire to learn and
    be excited about learning. But as early as
    kindergarten, even good teachers are setting them up to
    hate school. As a former educator and administrator both in public schools and universities, Lee Jenkins saw the need for a new way to lead learning – one that keeps that “intrinsic motivation” alive from kindergarten through 12th grade. “What most parents and teachers don’t realize is that motivation is made up of both will and thrill. Are your kids working hard and loving the process?” Chances are they aren’t!
    Lee Jenkins, author of Permission to Forget, is
    currently working on his next book The Perfect School.
    He now consults and writes full time with his firm LtoJ
    Consulting Group, Inc.

    14. ==> Phobias and How to Get Rid of Them

    Fear of heights, flying, spiders, mice, snakes. These
    are just a few of the common phobias people have. Then
    there are many more unusual ones like fear of death,
    clowns, dogs, elevators, public speaking and thunder
    storms. Ed Kuiper, author, speaker and self-healing
    teacher will teach your audience how to discover what’s
    really behind their irrational fears and how to heal
    themselves naturally … many times ON THE AIR!
    As an officer of two major life insurance companies and
    founder and CEO of several national companies, Ed spent
    over 40 years in the business world before becoming a
    “Master of Self-Healing.”

    15. ==> The Science of Turning on Happiness

    In her 20-year career as a counselor working with
    patients with anxiety and depression and teaching
    special needs students, Norma Nikutowski learned a
    universal truth: everyone has the capacity for
    happiness, it’s just a matter of turning it on and
    keeping it on. The Argentinian-born Nikutowski will
    delve into what happiness is, the detours people take
    in trying to achieve it, the role positive thinking
    plays in happiness, the habits of happy people and much
    more. She’ll share ways to immediately change your
    mood—including decluttering your home or workspace and
    doing at least one activity you enjoy every day, and
    why instead of complaining about what you dislike, you
    should focus on and enjoy everything that is working in
    your life. Norma Nikutowski has spent several decades
    counseling patients with anxiety and depression to
    focus on the positive aspects of their lives. She’s the
    author of “Turn Your Happiness ON: How to Light Up Your
    Days and Fill Your Life with Joy.” Contact her at (213)

    17. ==> How to Get ‘Marriage Fit’ Before Walking Down
    the Aisle

    When we want to get into top physical shape, we adjust
    our diets and lifestyles and hit the gym. Pastor Eric
    Hawthorne says that the same principles can be applied
    to preparing for marriage, and can share his tips for
    “marriage fitness” that can help newly and long-married
    couples to keep their bonds strong, and enable their
    unions to last. “I had a series at my church that
    taught people how to get ready for marriage,” he says.
    “People rarely take the time to determine their role in
    a marriage. This is why there are so many divorces.”
    Eric should know. He is a divorced single dad to two
    young boys who has learned from his mistakes, and he
    can share how to navigate the pitfalls he and his ex-
    wife had to navigate. Eric Hawthorne is the second-
    generation pastor of Daystar Deliverance Ministries in
    Richardson, Texas, and the author of the book “Are You
    Ready for Marriage?” Contact him at hiitselh@yahoo.com
    or (972) 464-6563.

    18. ==> Gratitude for Dog Lovers

    Ask people what they’d like to change about their lives
    and you are likely to hear that they wish they had more
    time to take better care of themselves, to feel less
    stress, and more balance in their lifestyle. At least
    that’s what acupuncturist and wellness practitioner
    Carlyn Montes De Oca discovered when she asked her
    patients to name their biggest challenges. So, she’s
    created “Paws for the Good Stuff,” a six-month
    gratitude journal for dog lovers, to bring the
    qualities dogs embody most to the forefront of their
    human’s lives—playfulness, loyalty, grace, gratitude,
    courage, enthusiasm and unconditional love. Invite her
    on your show to talk about how your dog can take you by
    the paw and lead you to a healthier and happier life
    and ways to create a healthier morning ritual rather
    than sipping coffee, eating a pastry and reading the
    news. Carlyn Montes De Oca is a speaker, acupuncturist,
    wellness consultant, and animal advocate in Santa Fe,
    New Mexico. “Paws for the Good Stuff” is a follow-up to
    her book “Dog as My Doctor, Cat as My Nurse.” Contact
    her at (415) 306-1853; cmdo@animalhumanhealth.com

    19. ==> Perfect for ‘Warrior’ and ‘Bloodfist’ Fans

    Interested in a book that combines the thrill of
    kickboxing with love of family? “The Lonely Eagle” by
    national South African wrestling champion Stephanus J.
    de Klerk is a raw look at kickboxing and family.
    Brothers John and Paul look after each other – both
    inside the kickboxing ring and out. While Paul’s
    dedication gets him close to the championship, John’s
    reckless behavior almost destroys his chances. After
    their glory days, both brothers go their separate ways.
    When the family is in danger of losing their farm, Paul
    prepares for one last championship match. But when
    tragedy strikes, John must understand why he fights:
    for money, for glory, or for family. Filled with action
    and drama, “The Lonely Eagle” is an intense read
    perfect for fans of movies “Warrior” and “Bloodfist.”

    20. ==> Faith Can Help You Achieve Success at Any Age

    At 84 years old, David L. Peters has had a successful
    career as an engineer, 18 patents, co-owns a computer
    graphics company, has a loving wife of 57 years, and
    has written his first book. Despite his career in
    science, he firmly credits his faith in God for his
    continued success and taking on new ventures, despite
    his age. “At 84, I have been blessed with a sense of
    God ‘being there’ from age 4,” he says. “My life has
    been filled with unbelievable synchronicities, all
    based upon my unwavering belief and trust in the
    goodness of God.” David further attests that beliefs
    rooted in science and a deity are not mutually
    exclusive. “My faith comes through science, as I firmly
    believe that quantum physics has proven the existence
    of a higher power.” David L. Peters is the author of
    “The 12 Steps to Joy and Happiness: Finding the Kingdom
    of God that Lies Within.” Contact him at

    1. ==> Another Hurricane! How to Survive a Natural
    Disaster

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

    2. ==> TV Judge Lauren Lake

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

    3. ==> Daytime TV’s Thom Bierdz’ Tell-All Sex Memoir

    Best known for his portrayal of Phillip Chancellor III
    on the daytime drama “The Young and The Restless,” Thom
    Bierdz is out with a bombshell tell-all sharing his
    every scandalous (often amusing and embarrassing) sex
    adventures. In “Young, Gay & Restless” he holds nothing
    back, including how a Republican Congressmen who, when
    drunk, routinely FB messaged him nude photos of
    himself. Book an interview with him and hear how he
    escaped serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, was sexually
    assaulted by a boss, a TV star, and a Hollywood
    photographer, and was propositioned by a Bishop and a
    billionaire. Bierdz has won multiple awards as an
    actor, fine artist, writer, and filmmaker, but became
    disillusioned with the entertainment industry, and has
    secluded himself in a cabin in Lake Arrowhead without
    TV and minimal contact with the outside world for the
    past seven years. His previous book, “Forgiving Troy,”
    recounts the murder of his mother by his paranoid
    schizophrenic brother. Contact Harlan Boll at (626)
    296-3757; h.boll@dcpublicity.com

    4. ==> Beat Climate Change AND Save Money

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

    5. ==> Catholic Priest Helps Lost Souls Cross Over

    Over the past 20 years, Nathan G. Castle, OP, says he
    has helped at least 250 people who died suddenly adjust
    to the afterlife. Victims of fires, automobile
    accidents, shootings, stabbings and drownings come to
    him in his dreams seeking help for resolving their
    Interrupted Death Experiences™. Father Nathan has come
    to believe that providing this help is something the
    Holy Spirit has given him to do. He’ll describe the
    unusual work he does with people who were conscious and
    healthy one moment and dead the next. “It can be a huge
    shock to the system and people can shut down,” he says.
    He is quick to point out that not everyone who dies
    suddenly gets stuck. Ask him: How does he help people
    cross over? How did he assist Patrick Swayze’s deceased
    sister? Do deceased relatives help us adjust to moving
    through our own deaths? Nathan Castle has been a
    Catholic priest of the semi-contemplative Dominican
    Order since 1979. His new book is “Afterlife,
    Interrupted: Helping Stuck Souls Cross Over.” Contact
    him at (480) 650-5592; nathancastleop@gmail.com

    6. ==> Interview the Undertaker’s Daughter

    While growing up in a Midwestern funeral home where her
    dad was an undertaker, life was anything but morbid for
    author Margo Lenmark. In fact, she learned that death
    is not the end, and can actually teach us all how to
    live better lives. “People who have died have given me
    lessons about how to live,” she says. “There are gifts
    in grieving. People send messages in death that are
    very clear. I have gotten very valuable messages from
    dead people.” She shares her fascinating experiences
    and insights in her newly published book “Light in the
    Mourning: Memoirs of an Undertaker’s Daughter.” The
    book has received glowing reviews from a number of
    prominent authors and spiritual leaders including
    Deepak Chopra, who says, “Life is not the opposite of
    death. It is birth and death that are opposites. Life
    is the continuum of birth and death eternally, and now.
    Read this engrossing book for your own insights into
    reality.” Contact Margo at margolenmark1@gmail.com or
    (828) 260-0873.

    7. ==> Missing! Her Daughter Disappeared without a
    Trace

    What would you do if your young daughter went missing?
    How many years would you spend searching for her? In
    your quest for answers, would you also turn to help
    from the spirit world? This was Sana Brauner’s reality
    after her two-year-old daughter Alexandra-Anita
    disappeared without a trace during a 2004 tsunami that
    took the life of Sana’s mother. Sana spent years
    searching for her daughter even reaching out to the
    spirit world for answers. Some 14 years later, she
    remains convinced that Alexandra-Anita is alive and
    that she will hold her again someday. She’ll share her
    very personal search for answers which she details in
    her memoir, “The Borrowed Daughter.” Contact her at
    s.brauner@ihr-einkauf.at; Skype: sanabr

    8. ==> How to End the Horror of Kids Being Separated at
    the Border

    Many Americans and people around the world were shocked
    and appalled when immigrant kids whose families sought
    asylum at the U.S. border were ripped from their
    parents. Worse yet, a number of kids were left behind
    because their parents got deported without them. “It’s
    painful for me to hear that kids cannot be reunited
    with their families, ” says Raleigh Sadler, a Christian
    reverend and founder and executive director of the New
    York-based non-profit Let My People Go. “So many kids
    will fall through the cracks. What scares me is that
    unless people are raising their voices, we’re going to
    be in a bad place.” Raleigh founded this group in 2013
    to combat global human rights injustices. He can
    discuss how this epidemic affects society at every
    level, and what we can all do to help stem the tide of
    oppression. He is the author of the upcoming book
    “Vulnerable: Rethinking Human Trafficking.” Contact him
    at Raleigh@lmpgnetwork.org or (917) 952-5845.

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

    A Georgia high school football player died after a game
    last month and officials now say he succumbed to
    cardiac arrest stemming from a head injury. The NFL,
    college and high school football programs are all
    dealing with the issue because of the high risk of
    concussions among players and the resulting health
    consequences. But what if there was a way to make
    concussions a thing of the past? Or at least a way to
    diagnose and treat traumatic brain injuries (TBI’s)
    more easily and quickly? Interview Dr. Paul Wand to
    hear about a new protocol that could do all that and
    more. He along with other private practitioners have
    created ways to diagnosis and treat concussions which
    if put into place could save the NFL, as well as other
    sports where concussions happen on a regular basis.
    Paul Wand, MD, PA has been a medical doctor for 35
    years specializing in the field of Neurology. Contact
    Dr. Wand at (954) 344-9772; paulwandmd@gmail.com

    10. ==> This is Why Single Moms Get Stuck in their
    Careers

    According to Pew Research, in 2013 women were the
    primary breadwinners in 40 percent of American
    households, and in a vast majority of those households
    the breadwinner was a single mother. However, another
    statistic stands out for author, blogger and single
    mother Sara Sherman: 80 percent of single mothers do
    not have the education they need to advance in their
    careers. A former welfare mother, Sherman encourages
    other mothers to earn a diploma, learn a trade, get a
    degree and advance their careers by giving them the
    steps they need to do precisely that. Sherman wrote
    “The Single Mom’s Guide to Getting a Degree” and its
    companion workbook to answer the question she was often
    asked: How did she go to school, work, raise her kids,
    and get an education all at the same time … as a single
    parent? Sherman hopes her books will inspire other
    single moms to go back to school as she did; she earned
    a B.A. in public relations and an M.A. in public
    administration while holding down a demanding job with
    a long commute. She also made time to volunteer at her
    children’s school and to be a scout leader. Contact her

    11. ==> Is Your ‘Intimidation Threshold’ Holding You
    Back?

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

    Do your listeners need a jolt of java in the morning?
    Do they find themselves reaching for caffeine and
    energy drinks to make it through the day? Adita
    Yrizarry-Lang will tell your audience that these
    strategies don’t work, in fact, they backfire. Instead,
    she’ll share a better way to power up by carefully
    selecting the foods you eat. You’ll learn what foods

    13. ==> Before You Go to the Doc: How to Get Less
    Painful Procedures

    There are many things that can be done to make certain
    medical test procedures more bearable. But the catch is
    patients have to ask for them and too often, nurses and
    doctors fail to tell their patients they’re possible.
    Nancy Michaels, an author and speaker who advises
    hospitals and health-care providers on effective ways
    to improve patient satisfaction, says patients need to
    advocate for themselves by asking that treatments and
    procedures be less painful. She’ll share tips on
    talking to your doctor and what everyone should know if
    they’re nervous or feeling uncomfortable about an
    upcoming treatment or procedure. Nancy Michaels has
    worked with the ICU Patient Advisory Council at Beth
    Israel Deaconess Medical Center and is a member of the

    14. ==> This M.D. Has a Three-Pronged Cure for Opioid
    Addiction

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

    15. ==> Fun Show Idea: Play The Doctor Speak Game!

    If your doctor tells you your pain is idiopathic, what
    does he mean? Or if he says you need to undergo
    Decompressive laminectomy, what does that entail? Let
    Dr. Tom Neviaser, AKA “The Doctor Whisperer” come on to
    your show for a fun interactive segment with your host
    and/or callers. He’ll read five funny words or medical
    terms for common problems and see if your host or
    audience can guess what he’s really saying.
    Dr. Tom will also reveal: why people’s pain is not
    where they think it is, what to say to get a busy
    doctor to see you right away, and fascinating things
    about the human body you probably never knew. Reach Dr.

    16. ==> Interview the ‘Don Quixote’ of Health Care
    Reform

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

    17. ==> 3 Reasons to Give Your Life a Scorecard

    We keep score during soccer, baseball, tennis,
    football, and golf. But should we also be keeping a
    running score of our own lives? See what you think when
    author and golfer Andre Huu shares his ingenious
    scorecard for adding meaning to your round of life.
    You’ll find out what hole you are currently on, what
    mistakes you may have made on past holes and what you
    might need to do to reach your full potential in the
    game that lies ahead. He’ll also explain why keeping
    score does not mean comparing yourself to others and
    how to get a free copy of his scorecard. Huu is the

    18. ==> This Nazi Germany Survivor Forgave Hitler

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

    19. ==> How Kids Will Save the World

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

    20. ==> Is Political Correctness Good for Kids?

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

    1. ==> Is the Burden of Proof Irrelevant to Journalists?

    As the Kavanaugh ‘circus’ continues on a nearly non-
    stop media loop, Jonah Goldberg says journalists aren’t
    being objective. “On nearly every question and issue,
    the tenor of the press — shockingly — mirrors the tenor
    of the Democrats who insist that it falls to Kavanaugh
    to disprove these allegations. But that’s not your job,
    you supposedly objective journalists. You should care
    every bit as much about disproving the allegations of
    Swetnick, Ramirez, and — yes — Ford as proving them.”
    Goldberg says journalists need to take a look in the
    mirror. “You might consider why millions of people love
    it when Trump says you are the enemy of the people:
    It’s because of how you are behaving right now. You’re
    burning credibility at such a rate, you won’t have
    enough to get back to base when this is all over.”
    Jonah Goldberg holds the Asness Chair in Applied
    Liberty at the American Enterprise Institute and is a
    senior editor of National Review. His new book is “The
    Suicide of the West.” Contact him at (202) 862-7165;

    2. ==> Why Kavanaugh Thinks He Deserves High Court Seat

    Bryce Covert believes Brett Kavanaugh’s petulant
    performance at last week’s confirmation hearing was
    partly about clearing his name but mostly because he
    believes the Supreme Court seat is rightfully his.
    “White men have rocketed to the top of the workplace
    and the world stage for virtually all of history, some
    of them deserving, some leapfrogging over others who
    may have been more deserving. But there is no reason
    the men being called out as abusive harassers who treat
    women like objects and playthings should keep plowing
    forward. It’s only right that their comeuppance
    includes stepping aside to let the qualified,
    nonabusive people through.” She says, “Despite what
    white men may have been led to think for centuries,
    they don’t have a birthright to positions of power. We
    do not suffer from a dearth of talent. We suffer from
    overlooking talent in favor of privileged men, some of
    whom have done things that disqualify them.” Bryce
    Covert is an independent journalist, a contributing op-
    ed writer at The New York Times and a contributing
    writer at The Nation. Contact her at
    BryceRCovert@gmail.com

    3. ==> GOP Won’t Lose White Women Over Kavanaugh

    Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony before the Senate
    Judiciary committee resulted in a flurry of news
    coverage about the effect the hearings will have on the
    “women’s vote.” But new polls say 70% of Republican
    women say they still support Brett Kavanaugh. Jessie
    Daniels explains why: “The underlying reason has to do
    with the way that conservative white women understand
    gender, race and their particular position in the
    world. The white women who vote for the GOP believe
    that white people are America’s virtuous middle.
    Central to this virtuous middle is white identity and,
    specifically, white femininity. …Contemporary
    conservative white women see charges of sexual assault
    or harassment against white men as unfair maneuvers in
    the race and gender culture wars.” Jessie Daniels is a
    professor at the City University of New York and the
    author of the forthcoming book “Tweetstorm: The Rise of
    the ‘Alt-Right’ and the Mainstreaming of White
    Nationalism.” Contact her at (212) 396-7737;

    4. ==> Another Hurricane! How to Survive a Natural
    Disaster

    As the East Coast braces for Hurricane Leslie, North
    Carolina is still recovering from Hurricane Florence
    that hit weeks ago. Entire neighborhoods are completely
    submerged and because of the rancid standing water,
    swarms of huge mosquitos 20 times the size of normal
    ones are terrorizing residents. Discuss how to survive
    in the aftermath of such destruction when you invite
    Christine Perakis on your show. She was alone in her
    home in the Caribbean when the most powerful storm ever
    recorded in the Atlantic Basin blew the roof of her
    house, destroyed everything in it and leaving her
    without running water, electricity and telecoms for
    months. Christine Perakis, Esq. is a certified mountain
    rescuer, an EMT, a 100-ton-licensed boat captain,
    attorney, entrepreneur, and certified executive coach.
    Her bestselling book, “The Entrepreneur’s Essential
    Roadmap” is a small business survival guide. Christine
    has appeared in the New York Times, ABC Radio,
    Bloomberg, The Washington Post and PBS. Her article,
    “Weathering the Aftermath of a Category 5 Storm” will
    appear in the November issue of USA Today Magazine.

    5. ==> Real Life Russian Spy Story

    With the news this year of Sergei Skripal’s poisoning
    in Salisbury, England, as revenge for spying for the
    West, as well as the ongoing revelations about Russia’s
    interference in democratic elections here and abroad,
    invite historian Roland Philipps to share a real life
    Russian spy story from 1951. You’ll hear about British
    diplomat turned Russian spy Donald Maclean, one of the
    most notorious spies ever discovered in the British
    government. Maclean was a member of the infamous
    “Cambridge Five” espionage ring, a group of young
    ideologues who believed Communism was the only path to
    world peace. While a respected diplomat at the head of
    the American Department in Britain’s Foreign Office he
    was also transmitting diplomatic and military secrets
    to the USSR. Roland Philipps is the grandson of Sir
    Roger Makins – a British Foreign Officer and the last
    person to see Maclean before he fled to the Soviet
    Union. “A Spy Named Orpha: The Enigma of Donald
    Maclean” is his new book. Contact Johanna Ramos-Boyer

    6. ==> Kids Music Day is Friday

    The 3rd Annual Kids Music Day is tomorrow, Friday,
    October 5th. To celebrate, Keep Music Alive is
    partnering with over 500 music school, music retail and
    other music organizations worldwide to hold events
    including: open houses, instrument petting zoos,
    student performances, community jams, instrument
    donation drives and more. The ultimate goal of Kids
    Music Day is to enable more kids to reap the
    educational, therapeutic and social benefits of playing
    music. Several celebrities are supporting the holiday
    as Ambassadors including Julie Andrews, Richie Sambora,
    Nancy Wilson from Heart, Sarah McLachlan, Victor
    Wooten, Todd Rundgren and more. Invite Keep Music
    Alive’s Vincent James on your show to learn about some
    of the lessor known benefits of music education and how
    Kids Music Day is quickly becoming an international
    holiday. Vincent is the co-founder of Kids Music Day,

    7. ==> Sept. Jobs Report: Good News for Workers – But
    What about Boomers?

    National unemployment statistics for September will be
    released tomorrow, heralding the continuation of the
    lowest unemployment rates in four decades across all
    demographics. Employers are scrambling to find enough
    workers to staff their operations but Diane Huth says
    they’re overlooking their most experienced source of
    trained and vetted talent. Baby boomers still in the
    job mart today often struggle to find new jobs or keep
    their current positions because of just one reason –
    their age. She says the key reasons employers embrace
    younger millennials over older workers is their
    technology skills, and says job seekers should dedicate
    at least half an hour daily to “Tech Up” to bring their
    skills up to date. She encourages mature workers to
    embrace a culture of lifelong learning, and actively
    seek new credentials, certifications, or badges to
    increase their relevance and hireability. Huth, known
    as The Accidental Career Coach, is a nationally
    recognized marketing and branding expert and the author
    of “Reinvent Your Career – Beat Age Discrimination to
    Land Your Dream Job.” Contact her at (210) 601-7852;

    8. ==> Watch Out — Embezzlers Are Using QuickBooks® to
    Steal from You

    Small business owners/managers, entrepreneurs and
    anyone with a bank account will want to hear from
    profitability specialist Ruth King on how to protect
    their assets from embezzlers—especially when such
    criminals use QuickBooks® to access private financial
    information. Author of several best-selling finance
    books including The Ugly Truth about Cash series, King
    will reveal how brazen thieves capture information and
    falsify/steal/alter YOUR QuickBooks® record, and why
    the crime may not be discovered for weeks or even
    months. As your interview guest, King will also reveal
    how to identify and address your financial
    vulnerabilities before it’s too late. She’ll explore:
    How embezzlers hack into online info… The first signs
    of tampering… How your checking account is at risk…
    What it takes to protect the QuickBooks® programs that
    help you run your business… Even what happens if your
    employees are in on the scam. Contact Ruth King at

    9. ==> Grow Your Business Without Working on Your
    Business

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

    10. ==> What’s it Like to Work for a Narcissist?

    Imagine what it would be like to work for someone who
    lacks empathy, constantly lies and only views the world
    through their own self-interest. Sharon Bahrych
    (pronounced Bear-rich) was on the faculty of a new
    physician assistant program led by a director who had a
    borderline/narcissistic personality disorder. Nearly
    everything the director said was a lie, Sharon reports,
    and she made other people’s working lives hell. But as
    Sharon will tell you, she now believes that God
    intended for her to undergo this torment as a means to
    bring needed change to the program and that God is
    always in control even when bad things happen to us.
    She’ll also share the amazing encounter she had five
    years later that put the whole experience in
    perspective for her. Sharon is a physician’s assistant
    who trained at Baylor College of Medicine. She has a
    master’s in public health from the University of Texas
    School of Public Health. She is the author of
    “Practical Disciplines of a Christian Life.” Reach her

    11. ==> Fun Show: Play The Doctor Speak Game!

    If your doctor tells you your pain is idiopathic, what
    does that mean? Or if she says you need to undergo
    Decompressive laminectomy, what does that entail? Let
    Dr. Tom Neviaser, AKA “The Doctor Whisperer” come on to
    your show for a fun interactive segment with your host
    and/or callers. He’ll read five funny words or medical
    terms for common problems and see if your host or
    audience can guess what he’s really saying.
    Dr. Tom will also reveal: why people’s pain is not
    where they think it is, what to say to get a busy
    doctor to see you right away, and fascinating things
    about the human body you probably never knew. Reach Dr.
    Tom Neviaser at (540) 718-0666; drdeed1@reagan.com?

    12. ==> TMI? When Artists Share Health Issues

    Whether it’s Demi Lovato and addiction, Michael J. Fox
    talking about Parkinson’s Disease or Selena Gomez
    discussing Lupus, celebrities these days seem very
    willing to talk publicly about their health issues.
    Lisa Sniderman (Aoede), a pop singer/songwriter
    herself, applauds their honesty and using their
    notoriety to help educate and raise awareness about
    chronic illness. She says sharing your journey is
    powerful—and healing–for you and others who are
    struggling. Lisa, who battles a rare, auto-immune
    disease, has collaborated with more than 50 artists,
    musicians, and authors who have turned to creativity to
    heal to create a multimedia live/streaming event
    ‘Lights in the Darkness-Creating to Heal’ this
    December. Lisa says, “My vision is to share how we’ve
    become lights for others through our stories and art,
    focused on the art of healing.” Lisa has been honored
    with more than 50 awards and has been considered
    multiple times for a GRAMMY. She is the author of “A
    Light in the Darkness: Transcending Chronic Illness
    through the Power of Art and Attitude.” Contact her at

    13. ==> How Our Educational System is Failing Our Kids

    According to Glen Dunzweiler, who taught at the
    university level for more than a decade, the American
    educational system is failing students by not providing
    them with the essential skills they need to negotiate a
    lifetime of work. Bring Glen on your show to hear why
    business skills should be part of students’ core
    education beginning in elementary school so they can
    learn how to make money instead of merely earning it
    and determine which skills are valued in the
    marketplace and why. Glen says, “The idea that a person
    can earn a degree that allows them to earn a certain
    income is not a stable model anymore. Students need to
    know how they can make a living at whatever they decide
    to do. Instead, we are turning out students who are one
    paycheck away from homelessness because we don’t teach
    them how to monetize their value. We teach them how to
    get a job.” Dunzweiler 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.” Reach him at (702) 767-7434;

    14. ==> Your Kids Might Not Be College Material — They
    Could Be Something Better!

    It’s been a myth for generations: “You must attend and
    finish college to have the best career opportunities
    and future income.” But Americans are learning that
    college is not a panacea guaranteeing wealth and
    success. What it does guarantee would be a high price-
    tag and hard-to-handle often credit-wrecking student
    loans. And a delay in joining the workforce. And the
    possibility that students will choose the wrong major
    and hate their eventual jobs, or get embroiled in some
    negative influences (drinking, drugs) common to college
    campuses. That’s the message of Joe Swinger, author of
    the popular “Awaken the Magic Within” and founder/CEO
    of Self-Mastery Leadership Academy. Invite him to share
    with appreciative audiences many effective 21st Century
    alternatives to the college run-around. He will
    introduce young people, and their parents/mentors, to
    more affordable learning programs/activities,
    entrepreneurial goals and lucrative career paths not
    requiring an expensive college degree. Ask Joe about
    his own story of becoming a successful boss, educator
    and innovator. Contact Joe Swinger at (801) 865-7849;
    authorjoeswinger@gmail.com

    15. ==> Ladies! Learn to Take What’s Yours?

    At the outset of the #MeToo movement, people didn’t
    believe a large number of women claiming past
    harassment, assaults, and abuse. Why didn’t they report
    these violations earlier? Women will tell you they’re
    reluctant to assert themselves, advocate for
    themselves, or even make choices for themselves because
    they want to be “nice.” It’s time for women to speak up
    for themselves – or even better, author Elizabeth
    Trinkaus says, face up to obstacles, ask for their
    share, understand their inherent self-worth. For more
    than 25 years, Elizabeth has conducted workshops and
    done speaking engagements all over the world, helping
    people find their worth, speak their mind, and crush
    the obstacles that prevent them from fulfilling their
    potential. She has worked with professional groups and
    individuals alike, and her straightforward, sensible
    approach will inspire your listeners. She can be
    contacted at (919) 368-0580.

    16. ==> Think Your Childhood Was Bad? Get Over It!

    If you think you can’t get over your lousy childhood,
    think again. Author Wade Meadows survived a brutal
    childhood as a bullied, neglected boy with a mother who
    abused him, enduring chaos at home, and sexual abuse at
    the hands of a trusted member of his church. Yet,
    against all odds, he succeeded – flourishing at work,
    finding peace in his adulthood, even forgiving his
    mother and tending to her health before her death. Ask
    him how he recovered because you can, too! Overcome
    your dysfunctional childhood; break the cycle of bad
    behavior that spans generations; find love and
    happiness despite your messed-up upbringing. He’ll talk
    about the three ways he overcame the worst and become a
    productive, well-rounded member of society. Wade can be
    reached at (225) 397-0785; bhchism50@yahoo.com

    17. ==> Bad Mistakes Even Good Teachers Make

    Did you know that many teachers, in trying to encourage
    their students, actually embarrass them? That
    embarrassment leads to discouragement, which if left
    unchecked kills whatever love of learning our kids
    have. All children have the innate desire to learn and
    be excited about learning. But as early as
    kindergarten, even good teachers are setting them up to
    hate school. As a former educator and administrator
    both in public schools and universities, Lee Jenkins
    saw the need for a new way to lead learning – one that
    keeps that “intrinsic motivation” alive from
    kindergarten through 12th grade. “What most parents and
    teachers don’t realize is that motivation is made up of
    both will and thrill. Are your kids working hard and
    loving the process?” Chances are they aren’t! Lee
    Jenkins, author of “Permission to Forget”, is currently
    working on his next book, “The Perfect School”. He now
    consults and writes full time with his firm LtoJ
    Consulting Group, Inc. Contact Lee Jenkins at
    800-559-9798; Lee@LtoJConsulting.com

    18. ==> Don’t ‘Fall’ for Meds, Use Sound to Cure your Pain!

    Fall season doesn’t just change the weather but changes
    our body. Cold weather brings many pains, aches to the
    joints, eye strain, and for many, emotional pain. Many
    people take medications that lead to other health
    issues. Many people try yoga, crystals, and natural
    herbs for healing. But even after using and trying
    different methods, the pain is still there. So when all
    fails, why not try something that will cure all your
    pain in minutes. Dawn Crystal has shocked the world by
    healing people with her voice! Don’t believe it? Just
    listen and be healed! She has healed 1000’s of people
    and has appeared on many TV shows and radio networks.
    Use your sense of sound to listen and be healed!

    19. ==> Laugh Your Way to Success

    While growing up in a poor farm family in rural South
    Carolina, life was far from amusing for Jane Jenkins
    Herlong. Her high school dropout tenant farmer dad
    struggled to make ends meet; she was relentlessly
    teased for being homely; she was rejected by numerous
    colleges; and told that she’d never amount to anything.
    She also endured mental and verbal abuse, and loved
    ones with addiction and mental illness. But she managed
    to become a Miss America contestant, a best-selling
    author, popular humorist, gifted singer and sought
    after speaker who was inducted into the Speaker Hall of
    Fame. She credits her humor for her success. “I
    literally laughed my way to ‘mental wealth!’” She can
    reveal how anyone can use humor to overcome life’s
    darkest moments. Jane is the award-winning author of
    four books including her latest “Rhinestones on My
    Flip-Flops.” She has also recorded music CDs and
    personal growth and comedy DVDs. As a humorist, her
    comedy is featured on Sirius XM 97. Contact her at
    janejenkinsherlong@gmail.com or (803) 480-1190.

    20. ==> Is the Joy of Having Grandparents is Diminishing?

    The New York Times writes that the average age of
    first-time mothers is 26, up from 21 in 1972. For
    fathers it’s 31, up from 27. Nita Wiggins benefited
    from having two surviving grandparents in her life into
    her 40s! She can help you enhance your connection to
    the older people in your life and to others who are
    different from you. Nita cultivated relationships with
    her dear grandparents and can share philosophies on how
    to enjoy older people, whether grandparents or
    neighbors whose families may not live nearby. In Nita’s
    case, her grandparents’ lives inspire her in the way
    she treats people who have different life experiences
    from her own– people who face different challenges.

    1. ==> Did Brett Kavanaugh Lie Under Oath?

    Bob Schiff, Lisa Graves and Jeff Berman have written a Time magazine piece
    entitled ‘Brett Kavanaugh Can’t Be Trusted. We Know Because We Worked as Counsel
    to Senators When He Was in the Bush White House.’ In it they write: “At his
    first confirmation hearing in April 2004, Kavanaugh said he had never received
    material stolen from Democrats. He repeated that testimony in May 2006 under
    questioning by both Democratic Senators and Chairman Hatch. But emails released
    earlier this month, after originally being deemed ‘committee confidential,’ show
    that Kavanaugh was in frequent contact with (Manuel) Miranda and received
    material that had been stolen from the Senate Judiciary Committee server. These
    emails contradict his testimony under oath. …” Robert Schiff served as chief

    2. ==> Democrats’ Bogus Judicial Temperament Claim

    According to Andrew McCarthy, the most risible and blatantly political claim
    posited by Democrats is their objection to Brett Kavanaugh’s purported lack of
    judicial temperament. “Of course, the best measure we have of how someone will
    perform in a government office is how that person has already performed when in
    that office, or in a very similar one. And the best measure we have of the
    seriousness and good faith of a critic’s claim against a nominee is whether the
    critic consistently levels similar charges in analogous situations.” McCarthy
    points to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg and her derogatory comments about Donald
    Trump. “If they practiced consistency, Kavanaugh’s critics would be calling for
    Ginsburg to step down, or at the very least to recuse herself from any case in
    which a component of the Trump administration is a party before the Court.”
    Andrew McCarthy, a former top federal prosecutor, is a senior fellow at the
    National Review Institute, a contributing editor at National Review, and a well-
    known commentator on legal, national security, and political affairs. He also
    writes regularly for PJMedia and The New Criterion. Contact him at

    9. ==> We Really Can Do Something About Our Most Massive Problems

    Mark Landau says the problems surrounding us today are enormous. “Manmade
    climate disruption escalates. The corruption of our democracy is nearly
    complete. We edge closer to nuclear terrorism and war. We are ruled by money. We
    must face these facts.” He says, “Those who deny them have their heads in the
    sand and those who don’t, recoil, self-medicate and entertain them away. Unless
    enough of us get behind doing something about them, they will likely reach their
    logical end.” Landau says there’s still hope and we can turn the ship in a
    better direction, but the time to act is now. Invite Landau on your show and

    If you’ve been feeling anxious, hopeless, angry, fearful and depressed since the
    2016 presidential election, you’re not alone. Trump Anxiety Syndrome (TAS) is a
    thing, and physician Steven M. Hall has seen an uptick in patients suffering
    from this. According to Dr. Steven, this is exactly what Trump wants. “This
    feeds Trump; he lives on this,” he says. “Reasoning doesn’t work with Trump
    supporters. Liberal people want to do everything with reason, but it just
    doesn’t work. You can’t change other people’s minds.” Not only does TAS affect
    people mentally, the stress it causes can also impact their physical health. Dr.
    Steven can share simple yet powerful ways to combat the stress, on both the
    mental and physical levels. Dr. Steven received his medical degree from
    University of Utah School of Medicine and has been practicing family medicine
    since 1985. He is the author of “The 7 Tools of Healing: Unlock Your Inner

    Many retirees want to stay in their home as long as possible. After all, it’s
    often where they raised their children and is located near their faith community
    and familiar shopping spots. Financial planner Penelope Tzougros helps people
    dispassionately evaluate whether staying put or going makes the best economic
    sense. Tzougros (pronounced Sue-grows) will share stories, insights, fears and
    clever solutions her clients made when facing the same dilemma. “Ultimately,”
    she says, “this is not a real estate decision but a decision about what retirees
    need to have the best life possible.” She adds, “And the reality is that when a
    house’s maintenance costs are draining people’s savings, it is no longer an
    asset.” Penelope S. Tzougros, Ph.D., ChFC, CLU, is a Financial Consultant,

    teacher. She says, “We can’t turn back the clock on cell phones, video games and

    of their growth and learn how to have fun with them again.” You’ll learn why the
    original tech leaders didn’t allow their children to have digital devices and

    1. ==> Kavanaugh: Senators’ Bear Biggest Burden

    As the Senate considers Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s
    accusation that Judge Brett Kavanaugh sexually
    assaulted her 30 years ago, senators find themselves
    asking a basic question familiar to all lawyers: Who
    bears the burden of proof—the accuser or the accused?
    Adam J. White says, “The greater burden is the one
    borne by the Senate itself, which now must come to a
    decision on Kavanaugh’s nomination, and do so in the
    manner that will best promote transparency and fact-
    finding in this nomination and all future nominations.”
    White says, “If belated accusations without significant
    evidence are enough to halt this nomination, then every
    future Senate Judiciary Committee hearing to consider a
    Supreme Court nomination will occur under a cloud of
    uncertainty as to whether post-hearing accusations are
    imminent. Adam J. White, a research fellow at the
    Hoover Institution, and director of the Center for the
    Study of the Administrative State at George Mason
    University’s Antonin Scalia Law School, testified
    before the Senate Judiciary Committee in favor of Judge
    Kavanaugh’s nomination. Contact him at (212) 599-7000;
    communications@manhattan-institute.org or @adamjwhitedc

    2. ==> The Problem with ‘Boys Will Be Boys’

    According to Jill Filipovic, the #MeToo reckoning is
    still coming — not just for the prominent men who use
    their power to exploit others, but also for the boys
    they once were. She says, “Teenage boyhood continues to
    accept, sometimes even hinge on, misogyny and ill
    treatment of girls — usually girls over whom boys have
    relative social power. Then we wonder why those same
    boys become the men who mistreat women, discriminate
    against us in the workplace, or look the other way when
    other men harass, bully or abuse us.” She adds, “We are
    recognizing, finally, that misogynist men are made, not
    born. The task, now, is to interrupt the making.
    Whatever happens with the Kavanaugh nomination, one
    hopes that this ugly turn through his teenage past will
    at least help us to stop raising boys in this way.”
    Jill Filipovic is a journalist based in New York and
    Nairobi, Kenya, and the author of the book “The H-Spot:
    The Feminist Pursuit of Happiness.” Contact her at
    jill.filipovic@gmail.com

    3. ==> Why Women Don’t Report Sexual Assault

    Many people believe as Donald Trump does, that victims
    of sexual assault or their parents would surely report
    such incidents to the police. That’s just one of the
    myths surrounding sexual assault that Dr. Jeanne Sanner
    can bust at a time when the country’s attention is
    riveted to the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court
    nominee Brett Kavanaugh. When she was 19 and a virgin,
    Dr. Sanner was raped by a stranger poolside at an out-
    of-town motel where she was staying with a girlfriend.
    She’ll explain her reasons for not reporting the crime
    which led to pregnancy and reveal the most important
    lesson she learned from being sexually abused. Dr.
    Sanner has a doctorate in spiritual studies, a master’s
    in education and a bachelor’s in psychology. She is the
    author of “Finding Unconditional Love a Little Peace at
    a Time.” Reach her at (949) 460-9450;
    jeannesanner@yahoo.com

    4. ==> What Parents Need to Know: The Dark Side of
    College

    Studies of American campus life indicate that between 3
    percent and 8 percent of college women will report
    being raped by the time they graduate and nearly a
    quarter will experience some type of sexual assault.
    Almost 700,000 college students—male and female—will be
    assaulted by someone who has been drinking. About
    100,000 will be sexually assaulted or raped while
    someone is abusing alcohol. Samuel Staley, author of
    “Unsafe On Any Campus? College Sexual Assault and What
    We Can Do About It,” says while colleges and
    universities ramp up their programming to help students
    cope with such tragedies, parents are virtually ignored
    in the discussion. He says parents need to become more
    informed about modern campus life, especially its rocky
    sexual terrain. “Most parents will be shocked to learn
    how different the world their children are stepping
    into is from their own experiences at the same age. The
    hyper-sexualization of campus life, for example, has
    relegated emotional intimacy to a post-sex thought. The
    side effect has been to further marginalize women in
    college culture.” Samuel Staley is a Research Fellow at
    the Independent Institute and Director of the DeVoe L.
    Moore Center in the College of Social Sciences at
    Florida State University. Contact Robert Ade at (510)

    5. ==> Trump on Iran: Who’s the Terrorist?

    Donald Trump, speaking about Iran at the UN this week,
    said, “We cannot allow the world’s leading sponsor of
    terrorism to possess the planet’s most dangerous
    weapons.” But Beau Grosscup says, “In Trump’s speech,
    as is often the case from U.S. government
    pronouncements, the emphasis is on counter-terrorism
    with Saudis. Among other things, this ignores how U.S.
    and Saudi policies have enabled groups like ISIS and al
    Qaeda. We saw this same ‘us vs. them’ approach in the
    State Department ‘report on terrorism’ that was just
    released last week. Particularly notable was Trump
    painting the Saudis as part of the solution in the
    Yemen war when they have been unleashing horrific
    bombing in that country with catastrophic results.” He
    adds, “The demonization of Iran was particularly ironic
    given that civilians were just killed in what would
    ordinarily be called a terrorist attack there.”
    Grosscup is emeritus professor at California State
    University, Chico. His books include “The Newest
    Explosions of Terrorism” and “Strategic Terror: The
    Politics and Ethics of Aerial Bombardment.” Contact him

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

    What’s it like growing up in family homes surrounded by
    ghosts and their stories? Interview Ivan Obolensky and
    find out! Ivan’s rich personal history includes his
    grandfather Serge Obolensky – the famed ‘Prince of New
    York’, and his grandmother Alice (of Astor fame), who
    died holding an Egyptian book of the dead on her chest.
    Convinced that people live on after death, she proved
    it by scaring off governesses and attracting a large
    number of black cats that kept returning to her home on
    61st Street in NYC even after extermination was tried.
    The family home was finally exorcised. Ivan’s
    grandfather, Serge, had his own ghost stories to tell
    including one about a Captain, supposedly recovering
    from TB in the Crimea, appeared to Serge’s mother and a
    butler at the family country home many miles away… and
    then vanished before their eyes! They later learned he
    was already dead. Ivan Obolensky is an author and a
    true Renaissance man in his own right. His novel “Eye
    of the Moon” won Best First Book (Fiction) in the
    IRDA’s. Contact Ivan at (818) 662-9731;

    8. ==> HBO’s ‘The Deuce’ – Meet the Princess of 42nd
    Street

    HBO’s acclaimed series The Deuce is back! The show is
    set in New York’s Times Square when pornography,
    prostitutes and drugs were rampant. Romola Hodas says
    watching the series with an actor playing her dad is
    surreal; like watching her life play out on TV! Romola
    s father was known as Times Square’s King of Porn. He
    almost single-handedly developed Times Square into New
    York’s hub of pornography and adult entertainment in
    the 60s through the 80s, when peep shows and live sex
    acts lined the streets. As the oldest daughter of
    Martin Hodas, Romola grew up in a chaotic whirlwind of
    swingers, mental illness, drugs and organized crime. At
    the same time, she was also protecting her three
    siblings from a mother with bipolar and personality
    disorder. Invite her on your show and hear how she
    survived two attempted kidnappings, took family
    vacations with mobsters, and what she thinks about the
    series. Listeners can even win a copy of her book “The
    Princess of 42nd Street surviving my childhood as the
    Daughter of Times Square’s King of Porn.” Contact

    10. ==> The Best Kept Secret in Your Insurance Policy

    Most people buy insurance from a friendly agent at a
    specific time and for a specific purpose… but did you
    know that 90% of all policies lapse before maturity? Or
    that when you don’t need your policy any longer you
    could sell it? For cash? Chances are you have no idea
    the hidden cash value of your policy… or that you are
    paying more than you should for the policy you have.

    Get ready to have some fun as Certified Wine Educator
    Jim Laughren shares his recommendations of well-made
    wines that over-deliver for their bargain prices. For
    example, he’ll reveal the consistently best-quality,

    hinterlands of northern Portugal and the joys of
    Bordeaux Supérieur. Laughren says you don’t need to

    wine will encourage everyone in your audience—even the
    bargain-hunters—to chuckle and experiment more. His
    mantra: “It’s not a bargain if it’s lousy; it’s a deal
    only if it’s very good and costs less than its worth.”

    12. ==> What’s it Like to Work for a Narcissist?

    Imagine what it would be like to work for someone who
    lacks empathy, constantly lies and only views the world
    through their own self-interest. Sharon Bahrych
    (pronounced Bear-rich) was on the faculty of a new
    physician assistant program led by a director who had a
    borderline/narcissistic personality disorder. Nearly
    everything the director said was a lie, Sharon reports,
    and she made other people’s working lives hell. But as
    Sharon will tell you, she now believes that God
    intended for her to undergo this torment as a means to
    bring needed change to the program and that God is
    always in control even when bad things happen to us.
    She’ll also share the amazing encounter she had five
    years later that put the whole experience in
    perspective for her. Sharon is a physician’s assistant
    who trained at Baylor College of Medicine. She has a
    master’s in public health from the University of Texas
    School of Public Health. She is the author of

    13. ==> How to Use Procrastination to Your Advantage

    Maybe it’s you, maybe it’s your kid. When faced with a
    decision or assignment, you wait until the last
    possible moment to act. Procrastination can turn into
    the enemy, but Mariann Adams will show you how to use
    it to your advantage! She’ll explain the neuroscience
    behind procrastination and how we’re all hard-wired to
    do it, as well as how it affects ability and self-
    esteem. She says, “Procrastination is a form of
    performance anxiety. It isn’t a defect, it actually
    means the brain and body are working as they should.
    And procrastination isn’t overcome by force; it’s
    overcome by a core understanding of how the body and
    brain work, and using it to one’s advantage.” Mariann
    Adams, MS, NCTM, has decades of experience as a teacher
    and performer, has presented internationally, and is
    experienced with radio and TV. She has done extensive
    research on the psychological, physiological,
    neurological, and interpersonal aspects of anxiety

    14. ==> This M.D. Can Cure Autism and ADHD in 30 Days

    While the majority of medical professionals believe
    that there is no cure for autism, Dr. Rajalakshmi
    Kandaswamy strongly disagrees. In fact, she has helped
    hundreds of children with non-verbal autism and ADHD,
    without ever meeting them in person! She accomplishes
    this through her unique remote healing method called
    Intent Healing™. “I am the only autism expert and
    expert in nonverbal autism who is a medical doctor and
    a healer who is helping nonverbal autistic children
    from all over the world communicate through speech in
    10 (or less) remote healing sessions, without meeting
    or seeing any of them in person,” she says. With over
    25 years of experience in remote healing, she recently
    was recognized by Buzzfeed as one of five professionals
    in the world to watch out for in the autism arena. She
    is the author of the book “How to Heal Autism and ADHD
    in 30 Days: The Phenomenally Powerful Breakthrough of
    Intent Healing,” and a graduate of India’s premier
    medical college C.M.C Vellore. Contact her at

    15. ==> Beer … and Other Surprising Sources of Stress

    Do your favorite foods include cheese, beer, and French
    fries? Would it surprise you to learn that these foods
    might also lead you to experience more stress? It’s
    true, says Gillian Padgett, a psychotherapist,
    hypnotherapist and stress expert who has studied the
    interplay of nutrition and stress for 25 years. Gillian
    can share the surprising ways the foods we eat can add
    to our stress, put us in a foul mood and even affect us
    days after we eat them! In addition to sharing the five
    foods that add to our stress, she can also reveal her
    list of foods that lend themselves to calmness. She’ll
    also explain why you need to pay special attention to
    food additives if you are concerned about mitigating
    stress. Gillian is the author of “Let Stress Heal Your

    16. ==> Mental Health Day is Oct. 10: What is Emotional
    Conditioning?

    Psychiatrist Christine Adams says emotional dysfunction
    and illness are far more widespread than mental
    illness, even though the two are frequently lumped
    together. She explains, “Most of us have emotional
    distress and upheaval on a continuum from mild to
    severe. Compare that to the one to three percent of
    people who have mental illnesses such as schizophrenia,
    bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and
    autism. What the rest of us suffer are problems arising
    from our emotional conditioning that create
    relationship conflict, not from brain pathology.” Dr.
    Adams says we experience emotional illnesses in the
    form of anxiety, depression, sleep problems, eating
    disorders, substance abuse, and psychosomatic aches and
    pains. Invite her to discuss the ways we are
    emotionally conditioned in childhood and why it leads
    many people to live life on autopilot. Christine Adams,
    M.D., is a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist
    who has been a guest on numerous radio shows and
    stations across the country. She is co-author with the
    late Homer B. Martin, M.D., of the new book “Living on
    Automatic: How Emotional Conditioning Shapes Our Lives
    and Relationships.” Contact her at (502) 473-0093;

    17. ==> What Your Parents Never Taught You About
    Overcoming Adversity

    When you were young, did your parents protect you by
    attempting to fix your problems? Did they encourage you
    to keep smiling and suppress any painful emotions? If
    so, they may not have realized their kids could face a
    lifetime of pain from all the emotional baggage they’ve
    been carrying around. “Parents may say, ‘Don’t
    embarrass me, make me proud, you’re an adult now,’ but
    never fully deal with the emotions behind each of those
    statements,” Dr. Dee Carroll says. As a result, when
    teens go off to college or move away, they’re likely to
    run into problems they don’t know how to handle. “It’s
    not until they get to a point of no return that they
    reach out. At this point, they are knee deep in
    adversity and never got the memo on how to deal with
    it.” Dr. Dee urges parents to start early in teaching
    their kids how to face adversity and stop hiding from
    their emotions. She can also share her story of how she
    overcame insurmountable odds using her ‘freedom’
    technique. She is a speaker, coach, management
    consultant and the author of “Emotional Emancipation:
    Step into Your Freedom, Reinvent Your Challenges and

    18. ==> Tips to Get Boys Talking

    For countless parents, the question “what happened in
    school today?” is met by a grunt or a terse “nothing.”
    This is especially true when parents ask their sons for
    an update. Diane Auten is an expert on communicating
    with boys and the parent of two sons. She can explain
    the gold mine of information parents can glean by
    driving their sons and their friends to school and
    other activities and the ways communicating with sons
    differs from communicating with daughters. She can also
    share funny stories from her book, about common,
    relatable things that happen to boys at school. Diane
    Auten is the author “The Joys of Raising Boys: the
    Good, the Bad, and the Hilarious.” A professor and
    communication expert, she wrote down the crazy
    questions her sons Bradley and Nate asked in the first
    ten years of their lives and recorded the conversations
    that ensued after she answered them. Diane frequently
    speaks to parents about communicating more effectively
    with their kids. Reach her at (805) 440-6532;

    19. ==> This Autumn, Don’t ‘Fall’ for Meds: Use Sound
    to Cure Pain

    Fall season doesn’t just change the weather but changes
    our body. Cold weather brings many pains, aches to the
    joints, eye strain, and for many, emotional pain. Many
    people take medications that lead to other health
    issues. Many people try yoga, crystals, and natural
    herbs for healing. But even after using and trying
    different methods, the pain is still there. So when all
    fails, why not try something that will cure all your

    =======================================
    1. ==> Live from New York – Trump Addresses UN

    Heads of state, including Donald Trump, are scheduled
    to begin addressing the UN General Assembly Today.
    Tomorrow, with the U.S. as the rotating president of
    the UN Security Council this month, Trump is
    scheduled to chair a meeting of the Council. Invite
    John Paul, author of the new book “Of Foxes and
    Chickens: Oligarchy and Power in the UN Security
    Council” to discuss what is expected to go on. “The
    biggest question will be whether Trump will use the
    opportunity to announce new sanctions or even military
    operations against Iran. Rumor has it that Washington
    is pressing NATO and other allies to join
    it, Israel and Saudi Arabia in a coalition of the
    willing to overthrow the perfidious mullahs and restore
    democracy to Iran.” He adds, “For Trump in particular,
    it is a chance to reach for global
    grandiosity, to rail against foreign enemies, to
    ‘disrupt’ the status quo and to bask in the limelight
    of the frenzied news media.” John Paul is also author
    of “Syria Unmasked” and was executive director
    of Global Policy Forum, a think tank that monitors the
    UN, for nearly 20 years. He was a longtime editor of
    the Oxford Companion to Politics of the World and
    executive director of the Middle East Research
    and Information Project. Contact him at
    james.paul.nyc@gmail.com

    2. ==> Lock Up Cosby & Throw Away Celebrity Role Models

    Bill Cosby’s sentencing hearing began yesterday and
    we’re once again forced to watch a hero’s very public
    fall from grace. Regardless of Cosby’s legal sentence,
    John Huber, Ph.D., says millions who grew up
    watching The Cosby Show thinking of Bill Cosby as a
    pseudo-surrogate father – will feel shock and betrayal
    again. “These days it seems to happen far too often
    that beloved personas and role models are
    revealed to have reprehensible skeletons in their
    closets. Who is really who they say they are? Can
    anyone be trusted to set the right example?” The
    lesson, Huber says, is “Children and adults don’t have
    to turn on the TV to find an adequate role model and
    they don’t have to search far and wide. They just have
    to live their lives with honor and integrity and they
    will become a role model unto themselves.”
    Dr. John Huber is a clinical forensic psychologist and
    the chairman for Mainstream Mental Health, a non-profit
    mental health organization. Dr. Huber has appeared on
    hundreds of radio shows and dozens of
    national television programs. Contact Ryan McCormick at
    (516) 901-1103; (919) 377-1200.

    3. ==> Why Women Don’t Report Sexual Assault

    Many people believe as Donald Trump does, that victims
    of sexual assault or their parents would surely report
    such incidents to the police. That’s just one of the
    myths surrounding sexual assault that Dr.
    Jeanne Sanner can bust at a time when the country’s
    attention is riveted to the confirmation hearing for
    Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. When she was 19
    and a virgin, Dr. Sanner was raped by a
    stranger poolside at an out-of-town motel where she was
    staying with a girlfriend. She’ll explain her reasons
    for not reporting the crime which led to pregnancy and
    reveal the most important lesson she
    learned from being sexually abused. Dr. Sanner has a
    doctorate in spiritual studies, a master’s in education
    and a bachelor’s in psychology. She is the author of
    “Finding Unconditional Love a Little Peace
    at a Time.” Reach her at (949) 460-9450;
    jeannesanner@yahoo.com

    4. ==> Is Trump’s Robust Economy All ‘Smoke and
    Mirrors’?

    President Donald Trump says we have “the best economy
    ever!” Professor Kenneth Barnes begs to differ. Author
    of “Redeeming Capitalism”, Barnes refers to our current
    economic system as ‘postmodern
    capitalism’, and argues that we have created a system
    devoid of a moral compass and resistant, if not
    impervious to ethical constraint. “Built on mountains
    of debt and driven by greed and excess, we are
    repeating the sins of the recent past,” he claims.
    Rejecting utopian alternatives, however, Dr. Barnes
    argues instead for ‘virtuous capitalism’- an economic
    system with all of the wealth-generating
    possibilities of the capitalism, plus the wider social
    benefits of the capitalism we desire. Prior to his
    academic career, Kenneth Barnes spent many years as a
    senior international executive for multiple
    multibillion dollar companies. He currently teaches at
    Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Contact Jason
    Jones at (512) 720-2996; Jason@jonesliterary.com

    5. ==> What You Don’t Know about Prince in the
    Recording Studio: Told by Those Who Knew Him Best

    The wait is over for Prince fans eagerly awaiting his
    new album, ‘Piano & A Microphone 1983.’ The previously
    unreleased material is finally available and contains
    nine songs including a new version of
    “Purple Rain,” “Strange Relationship” and a cover of
    Joni Mitchell’s “A Case of You.” Award winning author
    Duane Tudahl interviewed more than 40 band members,
    singers, and engineers chronicling Prince’s
    time in the studio during 1983 and 1984. He’ll share an
    intimate look at Prince Rogers Nelson as told by those
    admitted into his fiercely private inner circle. From
    the recording studio to his days on
    tour, you’ll learn why Prince was so protective of his
    material, how his music reflected his innermost
    thoughts and emotions, and the 3 very important keys to
    Prince’s incredible success. Duane Tudahl is a
    long-time documentary director and producer in the
    entertainment industry and a former stand-up comic. An
    expanded paperback version of his best-selling book,
    “Prince and the Purple Rain Era Studio
    Sessions: 1983 and 1984,” which includes details about
    hundreds of his recording sessions, is set for release
    in this fall. Contact him at (818) 726-8638 (CA);

    6. ==> Real Life Russian Spy Story

    With the news this year of Sergei Skripal’s poisoning
    in Salisbury, England, as revenge for spying for the
    West, as well as the ongoing revelations about Russia’s
    interference in democratic elections here
    and abroad, invite historian Roland Philipps to share a
    real life Russian spy story from 1951. You’ll hear
    about British diplomat turned Russian spy Donald
    Maclean, one of the most notorious spies ever
    discovered in the British government. Maclean was a
    member of the infamous “Cambridge Five” espionage ring,
    a group of young ideologues who believed Communism was
    the only path to world peace. While a
    respected diplomat at the head of the American
    Department in Britain’s Foreign Office he was also
    transmitting diplomatic and military secrets to the
    USSR. Roland Philipps is the grandson of Sir Roger
    Makins – a British Foreign Officer and the last person
    to see Maclean before he fled to the Soviet Union. “A
    Spy Named Orpha: The Enigma of Donald Maclean” is his
    new book. Contact Johanna Ramos-Boyer at
    (703) 646-5137; johanna@jrbcomm.com or Erin Bolden at

    7. ==> Getting Back to Business after a Hurricane

    Hurricane Florence not only destroyed homes throughout
    the Carolinas, it also battered thousands of businesses
    in the region. Donna Childs, a former reinsurance
    executive, can explain what businesses now
    face after the massive storm, where they can turn for
    help, and how business owners, just like home owners,
    should plan for disasters. Donna’s been honored by the
    American Red Cross for her volunteer work
    helping small businesses in the Gulf Coast states
    recover from Hurricanes Katrina, Gustav and Ike. She’s
    dealt with disasters around the world and at Ground
    Zero, where her business and home were based on
    9/11. Donna has appeared on local and national radio
    and TV programs and is the author of “Prepare for the
    Worst, Plan for the Best: Disaster Preparedness and
    Recovery for Small Businesses,” Contact her at

    8. ==> How to Grow Your Business Without Working on
    Your Business

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

    10. ==> Confessions of a Badass Widow

    After the death of her long-time husband and business
    partner, Katherine Webster faced financial ruin,
    loneliness, trauma and many other overwhelming
    challenges. But, she says, she made a choice and
    learned the lesson of a lifetime; a life lived without
    danger is meaningless. “I turned my awful circumstances
    into a situation where I became more vibrant, fearless,
    confident, successful… and younger!”
    Katherine will share three key questions that can help
    redefine life after a tragedy: “Who am I now? What
    weaknesses are holding me back, and how can I conquer
    them? How can I reinvent myself to be who I
    truly choose to be?” She’ll also share simple yet
    powerful tools for rebuilding your life and becoming
    more youthful and passionate about living after the
    death of a spouse, or virtually any personal
    tragedy. “Personal tragedy allows you the luxury most
    other people will never have: an opportunity to enjoy
    the self-indulgent business of completely re-inventing
    yourself as whatever or whomever you
    choose to be.” She is the author of “Becoming Madam
    Widow.” Contact her at katherine@katherinewebster.com

    11. ==> How to Get the Best Medical Care: When Should
    You Get a 2nd Opinion?

    Are you really getting the best medical care? We like
    to believe that when we’re being treated by a physician
    or medical team that they know all the answers related
    to our illness and treatment. But Nancy
    Michaels, a patient satisfaction expert says patients
    can no longer rely on the pros alone. “As consumers, we
    need to claim control over our health and be sure we
    understand what all of our options are
    related to diagnosis and recommended treatment,” she
    warns. Michaels, who regularly speaks to medical and
    health-care audiences about ways to improve patient
    satisfaction, engagement and the overall
    patient experience, also delivers advice gleaned from
    her own personal experience as a patient. In 2005, in
    what seemed like an instant, she found herself in a
    health crisis that nearly killed her twice.
    She’ll explain what every patient should know when
    seeking medical treatment including when—and how—to get
    a 2nd opinion, how to research your condition and how
    to access your doctor’s notes in your files.
    Nancy Michaels provides inspirational speeches on such
    topics as “Lessons Learned from Dying” to audiences
    around the world. Her latest book is “Patient Speak, 7
    Communication Practices to Improve Patient
    and Family Experience.” Contact her at (617) 905-4711;

    12. ==> TMI? When Artists Share Health Issues

    Whether it’s Demi Lovato and addiction, Michael J. Fox
    talking about Parkinson’s Disease or Selena Gomez

    herself, applauds their honesty and using their
    notoriety to help educate and raise awareness about
    chronic illness. She says sharing your journey is

    14. ==> How Being Disorganized Can Endanger Your Life

    We have all heard how you can save money, time,
    property and possessions by being more organized. But
    wise vs. lackluster organization habits can even save
    your life! That’s the message of RN/APRN (nurse
    practitioner) and author Anne McAwley-LeDuc, who is
    creating a new movement for maintaining personal health
    history — a life-saving practice! With the release of

    conditions, surgeries, childhood health
    history, orthopedic history, immunizations, allergies,

    15. ==> Simple Remedies for Burnout and Compassion
    Fatigue

    Being a caregiver, whether professionally or within
    your family, is a hazardous job currently held by some
    43.5 million Americans. Sheila Collins, Ph.D., says the
    stress not only puts caregivers at risk
    for serious health problems, they’re also at risk for
    burnout and compassion fatigue. “Self-care continues to
    be all but neglected in the professional programs that
    train people in helping careers and is
    an essential skill for caregivers to master for their
    own health.” Collins can explain why caregiving is so
    dangerous, what healthy anger is and how to express it,
    as well as some interesting trends in
    caregiving. Collins and Christine Gautreaux, MSW, are
    co-authors of “Stillpoint: A Self-Care Playbook for
    Caregivers to Find Ease and Time to Breathe, and
    Reclaim Joy.” Collins’ other books include
    “Warrior Mother: Fierce Love, Unbearable Loss, and the
    Rituals that Heal,” about her experience of providing
    caregiving to her two adult children and her best
    friend. Contact Sheila Collins at (817)

    16. ==> Stop Blaming Social Media for Kids’ Depression

    Social media has a firm hold on Americans, especially
    kids and young adults. With rising rates of depression
    and suicide among the same group, many wonder if
    there’s a connection. Joffre McClung says there
    is, but it’s not really the root of the problem. “The
    issue isn’t so much the social media itself, it’s that
    young people are constantly looking outside of
    themselves for their worth, value and sense of
    being good enough.” She’ll explain the many ways lack
    of self-love affects our lives and share concrete ways
    to take your power back from social media. You’ll hear
    how parents can help kids develop their
    own sense of self-love and why you should incorporate
    five simple self-gratitude practices into your daily
    life. 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 takes the esoteric and brings it back down to
    earth with a big dose of common sense. Her latest
    book is “The Heart of the Matter.” Contact her at (917)

    17. ==> Why Kids Who Hate School Are Often Smarter than
    Everyone Else

    You would think that the students in school who are
    making the highest grades would be the ones who love
    learning the most. “Not so!” says Lee Jenkins, author
    and former school administrator. “Those
    students have figured out it’s nothing more than a
    game, a game that they play and that they win.” The
    game is the “cram it and forget it game” – which some
    students really excel at. Ever since grade 1
    spelling they know to study for that Friday quiz and
    then they can forget it… because it will most likely
    never be seen again. Lee was determined to come up with
    a different way to organize learning… a
    different way to look at learning and encouraging our
    kids so that how they learn in the classroom keeps the
    joy of learning alive – he calls it “the intrinsic
    motivation” that every kindergartener brings
    with them on the first day of school. Lee Jenkins,
    author of “Permission to Forget”, is currently working
    on his next book “The Perfect School.” He consults and
    writes full-time with his firm LtoJ
    Consulting Group, Inc. Contact him at (800) 559-9798;

    18. ==> Is Our Rude Way of Treating One Another Bad for
    Children?

    These days, nothing’s more American than telling it
    like it is – but author Wade Meadows says people are
    too blunt, even brutal with each other, all in defiance
    of this thing called “political
    correctness.” A survivor of verbal and physical abuse,
    Wade will reveal the lasting damage harsh, nasty
    language does to children and grown-ups, and discuss
    the power of words to build up or break down our
    relationships. Wade can be reached at (225) 397-0785;

    de Klerk is a raw look at kickboxing and

    reckless behavior almost destroys his
    chances. After their glory days, both brothers go their
    separate ways. When the family is in danger of losing
    their farm, Paul prepares for one last championship
    match. But when tragedy strikes, John must
    understand why he fights: for money, for glory, or for
    family. Filled with action and drama, “The Lonely
    Eagle” is an intense read perfect for fans of movies

    they and all of their friends are fervent Trump
    supporters. And you despise Trump! This could be your
