1. ==> Trump and the Imperial Presidency

While many people look at President Donald Trump as a
statement about the American character, Jay Cost
instead sees him as a statement about the structure of
our government. He says, “Donald Trump represents the
apotheosis of the imperial presidency, whereby a single
person has come to exercise almost total spiritual,
moral, and psychological control over civil society.
His tenure as commander in chief reveals that this
model of governance is basically unsound and
incoherent.” He says, “Whether we realize it or not,
the nation’s basic law invests most power to do things
with Congress, not the president. By obsessing so
endlessly about the president, we are basically just
fussing over manners, rather than real issues that the
government can actually do something about.” Jay Cost
is a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise
Institute, a columnist for National Review, and a
contributing editor to The Weekly Standard. He’s the
author of “The Price of Greatness: James Madison,
Alexander Hamilton, and the Creation of American
Oligarchy.” Contact him at jcost241@gmail.com;

2. ==> Trump’s AG Pick: Barr, Bush and Iran Contra

President Donald Trump has picked a Washington veteran
who served as the nation’s top cop under former
President George H.W. Bush to be his next attorney
general. William Barr, 68, served in the role in a very
different Washington and under a very different
president from 1991 to 1993. He was attorney general
when Bush pardoned six individuals implicated in the
Iran-Contra scandal, including Caspar Weinberger,
Elliott Abrams and Robert C. McFarlane. Investigative
journalist Arun Gupta is a writing a piece for The
Intercept titled “George Bush, the secret government,
and the Iran-Contra scandal.” The Iran-Contra affair
involved the Reagan-Bush administration trading missile
sales to Iran for U.S. hostages, and using the proceeds
of those arms sales to fund anti-Sandinista Contras in
Central America — in violation of U.S. law. Arun Gupta
has reported for publications including The Guardian,
Salon, Al Jazeera America, and YES! Magazine. Contact
him at arun.indypendent@gmail.com; @arunindy

3. ==> Did Political Incivility Begin with Bush?

Last week, we bid a solemn and respectful goodbye to
our 41st president, George H.W. Bush. Now it is time to
begin examining his legacy—with sober eyes. Former news
anchor and reporter Nita Wiggins, a U.S. citizen
currently teaching journalism in Paris, France, will
lay out her case for why she is convinced that the
negative political discourse began on Bush’s watch with
the airing of the Willie Horton ad against then-
opponent Michael Dukakis. She’ll dispute his “kinder
and gentler” reputation and take an unsparing look at
his time as head of the CIA and vice president as well
as the Bush connection to the confirmation of Supreme
Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Nita spent 21 years on
live TV as a news reporter and sportscaster who
interviewed such notables as Muhammad Ali and Rosa
Parks. She is the author of an upcoming book, “Civil
Rights Baby.” Contact her at NWiggins@rtirguests.com

4. ==> Fun Show: WOW Women of Wrestling

Wrestling icon David McLane is the man behind the
iconic ‘80s TV series GLOW ‘Gorgeous Ladies Of
Wrestling.’ He’s now teamed up with Los Angeles Lakers
owner Jeanie Buss, television trailblazer Mark Burnett
and Mark Cuban for WOW Women of Wrestling with a
spotlight on the legendary WOW Superheroes. WOW’s
roster boasts over 30 highly skilled wrestlers—each
with their own unique personalities and backstories
inspired by the women behind the Superheroes. Wow Women

5. ==> Holiday Rip-Offs and Scams

money. Invite William Francavilla to share ways you can

charity donations to online rip-offs and social media
phishing scams, Francavilla will outline ways to make

6. ==> Biggest Holiday Money Mistakes

We all overspend this time of year. If you don’t want
to wake up with a financial headache this January,
invite tax and financial expert Abby Eisenkraft to
share holiday money mistakes you should avoid. “Do you
check for coupons while you wait on line? Don’t use
public Wi-Fi! A thief can get into your phone,” says
Eisenkraft. “And never open a credit card account in
the store. Unscrupulous employees can sell your
information and ‘shoulder surfers’ can steal your ID.
Even well-meaning employees can inadvertently leave
your forms out for anyone to see.” Frequently quoted by
the press, Eisenkraft is the author of “101 Ways to
Stay Off the IRS Radar” and “Combat Tax-Related
Identity Theft.” Contact her at (347) 598-0111;

7. ==> Holiday Party Dos and Don’ts

Want to be a great guest at the next holiday party and
not the guy or gal who is remembered for being
thoughtless, drunk or clueless? Suzanne Wexler, a high
energy, fun, and fabulous lifestyle expert, will offer
your listeners five things to remember in order to be
the good kind of memorable. Among the topics she’ll
cover are what to bring the host or hostess that will

are bringing your kids, what to bring an extra pair of
(you probably would not do this on your own), and the
importance of leaving gossip for after the party.

Post, Bust.com and her work has been syndicated

8. ==> ‘Nutcracking’? Tips to Tame Holiday Anxiety

The holiday season can be filled with joy, but it can
also be several weeks of sustained stress and anxiety
overload! Between the pressure to buy the right gifts,
decorate and entertain like Martha Stewart, and get the
perfect party look, it’s no wonder people dread this
time of year. But anxiety expert Mariann Adams says
holiday anxiety doesn’t have to ruin the season. For
those bracing for the weeks ahead, she says, “You don’t
have to hate this time of year. The issue isn’t the
holidays, it’s the anxiety the holidays trigger, and
that’s something you can actually fix!” Mariann will
share “nutcracking” tips to keep you from “cracking”
and becoming “nuts” at the holidays and discuss the
many ways holiday anxiety surfaces including avoidance,
appearance anxiety, procrastination, indecision,
financial anxiety and perfectionism. Listeners will

holidays. Mariann Adams, MS, NCTM, is an anxiety

9. ==> Tis the Season for Marital Discord

Sure, the holidays are supposed to mean fun times with
the family. But, for many, the reality is no Currier &
Ives postcard. There’s financial stress, family
obligation stress, and opportunities to drink too much
and behave badly with friends and coworkers. Interview
licensed marriage counselor Brad Robinson to learn ways
to lessen the chance that marriages will hit rough
patches during the holidays or after when people start
thinking about whether they want to stay in marriages
in which trust has been violated and needs are not
being met. Brad specializes in helping couples survive
infidelity and he can share his surprising take on what
types of couples are most at risk. He is motivated to
do this work after having grown up in a broken home.
Brad co-hosts the popular “Healing Broken Trust”
podcast with his wife, Morgan, and they are writing a
book with the same name. Contact him at (918) 606-1700;

10. ==> Don’t Let Relatives Ruin Your Holidays

Tis the season to be merry. However, some relatives
make it difficult to spend time with them. There’s
Uncle Harry, who loves to argue politics and your
mother-in-law who nitpicks the food, the tree and just
about everything else. And even your dad, who can’t
resist showering you with unwanted advice. Instead of
getting stressed out by the usual suspects, interview
psychotherapist Gillian Padgett for tips you can use to
get through the holidays with more joy. An expert on
reducing stress, Gillian will share the importance of
planning your escape route ahead of time, leaving your
emotional baggage outside, and trying to understand the
offending person’s modus operandi and your former role
in setting that person off. She can even explain ways
holiday stress can be a gift! Gillian is the author of
Let Stress Heal Your Life. Reach her at
GPadgett@rtirguests.com

11. ==> Top 10 Holiday Gifts to Give a Widow

The holidays are especially hard for people who have
lost their spouse and for their friends and relatives.
That’s why author Trish Comer, who will be celebrating
her fifth Christmas without her husband Bob, has put
together her top ten “gifts” to give the widows (or
widowers) in your life. For example, you’ll learn why
it’s a good idea to tell stories about the decedent and
to let his widow repeat stories you’ve heard before.
Also, why it’s fine to invite her to join your holiday
dinner, tree-trimming or caroling plans but not to
compare her to other grieving people you know. And how
appreciative she will be when you send her a text, card
or email during the holidays to let her know you are
thinking of her. In addition, she’ll share advice for
widows themselves on focusing on the present and what
you have instead of what you used to have. Trish
coauthored “Wonder Widows” with two of her widowed
friends. Reach her at (505) 268-6097;
trish@wonderwidows.com

12. ==> The Making of ‘Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town’

It’s been 50 years since the holiday classic Santa
Claus is Comin’ to Town premiered on network TV but
fans continue to watch it each Christmas season with
many introducing the Burgermeister Meisterburger to
their kids—and grandkids! Invite Rankin/Bass
Productions’ official historian/biographer Rick
Goldschmidt to share trivia about the magical Animagic
TV special. You’ll learn how the show was made and the
Hollywood stars behind the characters like Fred
Astaire, Mickey Rooney and Keenan Wynn. Goldschmidt’s
fifth book on the work of Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules
Bass is out this season entitled “The Making of Santa
Claus Is Comin’ To Town and The Daydreamer.” He’ll also
be in a new TV series called Collector’s Call with Lisa
Whelchel from The Facts of Life. Contact him at
Rickgoldsc@aol.com

13. ==> Is it Time to Go Back to Grad School?

Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates found career success
without a college degree, but their stories are the
exception, not the rule. Today a graduate degree has
replaced a bachelor’s degree as the educational
requirement for many employers. Interview Dr. Don
Martin and Kevin Kiley to learn why is now the best
time to think about going to grad school. Find out
what the biggest mistake graduate school applicants
make and what are the 7 questions you need to ask
yourself before applying to grad school. Dr. Don Martin

and in three different disciplines and is the author of

14. ==> How to Start a Business on Your Lunch Hour

Although many people love the idea of being their own
boss, few act on it due to a lack of time, money or
knowledge. Lorri Craig, who started a business out of
her bedroom, can explain how to start a business on
your lunch hour and learn from her mistakes so you
won’t have to repeat them. The creator of the Lunch Bag
MBA program, Lorri can discuss creating a business from
doing what you love, determining if your idea is
viable, listening to your gut, thinking like an
investor and more. She has lots of inspiring success
stories to share too. Craig is a Certified Financial
Planner with a master’s degree in finance who says you
don’t have to go to graduate school to start your own
viable business. Contact her at (541) 453-1742;
LCraig@rtirguests.com

15. ==> Are Men Really Scared of Women at Work?

Perhaps you saw the Bloomberg News article about men on
Wall Street who say they are afraid to hire women or be
alone with female colleagues in the wake of the #MeToo
movement. Is it true that many men on Wall Street and
other industries now feel that way or is this an
exaggerated reaction of a vocal minority? Wall Street
executive, business consultant and career coach Tamara
Lashchyk (Lash-check) thinks such comments are a gross
generalization made by a few in an attempt to diminish
#MeToo and to maintain the “bro-culture” status quo.
Oddly enough, she had expected such a backlash when she
was researching her bestselling book, “Lose the Gum: A
Survival Guide for Women on Wall Street, Main Street
and Every Street in Between,” but instead she has found
that the men she has interviewed think avoiding female
colleagues is ridiculous. This experienced talk show
guest can also talk about ways some men have
experienced collateral damage from the movement and the
behaviors women sometimes exhibit at work that holds
them back including the No. 1 thing that makes men in
the office cringe. Contact Tamara at (732) 373-3543;
TLashchyk@rtirguests.com

16. ==> New Treatment Options for Chronic Pain

The opioid crisis has not only taken many lives, it’s
left millions of people searching for safe ways to
manage their chronic pain. Invite Trip Goolsby, M.D.,
to discuss a new “pain healing” approach for those who
have been dependent upon prescription medications for
decades. Among the new options is a neurostimulation
device that attaches to the patient’s ear and is able
to act on nerve centers in the brain controlling blood
pressure (vasodilatation) and pain (endorphin
secretion). Goolsby says the therapy is a conservative
treatment for chronic pain and can also help peripheral
artery disease. Invite him to share the latest in pain
healing therapy as well as his Six Pillars approach to
optimized health. Infinite Health Integrative Medicine
Center is an integrative practice with a niche focus on
health optimization, longevity and regenerative
medicines. Contact LeNae Goolsby at (337) 312-8234;

17. ==> How to Recover from a Bad, Awful Day

Everyone has days when everything seems to go wrong.
Maybe you’ve had a fender-bender, your daughter got in
trouble in school and your colleagues at work forgot to
tell you about an important meeting you should have

stressed out. To make any bad day go away, harness the

18. ==> How to Become a Great Conversationalist

When’s the last time you had a decent conversation?
With your spouse? Your friends? Your coworkers? If
you’re like most people, having good conversations is a
thing of the past. Between social media overload and

conversation is dead. Enter Jean-Paul Gravel, an
Emotional Freedom expert, who can explain exactly why
your audience isn’t having the conversations they can
and why. He’ll explain why unlocking the hidden power
of Emotional Freedom is the key to not only having a
great conversation for a change, but also creating a
better mindset so that your emotions are working FOR
you, not AGAINST you. Jean-Paul Gravel is an
international speaker, author, and coach, whose work

How bad is the 1% really? What are the myths
surrounding this economic group and the families it
represents? Interview Ivan Obolensky and find out! He
grew up in this world and has firsthand experience with
it. People often ask how does one get to be a part of
the 1%? Misconceptions abound about their ethics,
morals and attitudes. Find out how the 1% really lives…
not only with each other, but those around them, both
professionally and personally. “People think that those

further from the truth.” Find out why trust is so
important to the wealthy – and how it helps keep them

20. ==> Interview the ‘Decision Doula’

Sometimes making a tough decision can feel like giving
birth! Have you ever had to make a tough decision?
Like whether to leave a job? Get out of a relationship?
Or what medical treatment to pursue? It can leave you
feeling scared, lonely, and frozen with fear. Terrie
Novak is an expert at decision-making… or “choice-
making” as she likes to call it. As a systems analyst,
she does it every day at work for her customers. So,

scarier treatment option, she decided (after freaking
out) to apply what she does at work to help her make
some important decisions. Terrie Novak works in
software engineering as a systems analyst. Her unique
framework for “choice-making” can be applied to

Is Paul Manafort’s failed cooperation a setback for
Justice Department special prosecutor Robert Mueller
and a bullet dodged for President Donald Trump and
administration insiders? Invite
Criminal defense attorney Geoffrey Nathan to discuss
the issue and what effect Manafort’s plea agreement
violations could mean for his own future, and the
larger investigation. Nathan has
successfully defended US soldiers accused of
international war crimes by the Army in Iraq and
Afghanistan in military court. His firm frequently
negotiates with the United States Attorney’s
Office, District Attorneys, DEA, Homeland Security,
Secret Service and ATF. He also worked in the Jimmy
Carter White House many years ago. Contact Ryan

2. ==> Another Way to View the Immigration ‘Crisis’

Tony J. Selimi, once a migrant and now one of the
world’s leading transformational coaches and human
behavior specialists, says there is no immigration
crisis, and that treating migrants badly
is neither the problem nor the solution to the current
fears about immigrants coming to the United States and
other countries. He says, “What we do, say, and feel
about migrants is either a
reflection of engaging with our animalistic nature or
comes from a place of empathy, compassion and love,
which is our true greatness. The choice is ours to
make.” Selimi will discuss why
people perceive immigration as a crisis and offer
twelve tips to consciously approach and handle the
issue of immigrants. Tony J. Selimi is the author of “A
Path to Wisdom” and “#Loneliness –
The Virus of the Modern Age,” and co-creator of “Living
My Illusion- The Truth Hurts,” an award-winning
documentary. Tony has appeared on over 100 TV and radio
stations across the world.

3. ==> Mississippi, Hyde-Smith and the Confederate
Legacy

Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith won re-election in
Mississippi this week despite controversy over comments
some view as racist, and pictures of her in a
Confederate hat. Karen Cox, author
of “Dixie’s Daughters: The United Daughters of the
Confederacy and the Preservation of Confederate
Culture,” says Hyde-Smith’s views don’t surprise her.
“She was raised on the narrative that
cast Confederates as heroes and former slave masters as
benevolent to the enslaved. She grew up among white
Mississippians who continued to resist desegregation by
creating Mississippi’s all-
white segregation academies, designed to resist
integration. Hyde-Smith graduated from one of them in
1977.” She adds, “While there has been significant
change, and people who work for the
greater good of all citizens, the culture of white
supremacy has never left Mississippi.” Karen Cox is
professor of history at the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte. Contact her at

industry. Werbach is a professor of legal studies and
business ethics at the University of Pennsylvania’s
Wharton School. He has advised the FCC and Department

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

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

9. ==> Do Holiday Gatherings Feel Like ‘Game of
Thrones’?

Winter is coming. Family and friends will be getting
together to celebrate the holidays, but in our
currently divisive culture it’s easy for a festive
gathering to turn into the Battle of the
Blackwater. To ensure your party doesn’t devolve into
an episode of Game of Thrones, Joffre McClung says,
“Use your common sense! No one wants to know how much
money you make, how big your
bonus was or how your stocks are doing. And when it
comes to religion, walk it, don’t talk it!” For those
who feel they need to discuss politics, Joffre advises,
“Please, just don’t. We all
need a break!” Invite Joffre to share 5 common sense
rules to make any holiday gathering a safe space where
the 7 Kingdoms can coexist, at least for the day.
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, she
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.”

11. ==> Top 10 Holiday Gifts to Give a Widow

The holidays are especially hard for people who have
lost their spouse and for their friends and relatives.
That’s why author Trish Comer, who will be celebrating
her fifth Christmas without
her husband Bob, has put together her top ten “gifts”
to give the widows (or widowers) in your life. For
example, you’ll learn why it’s a good idea to tell
stories about the decedent and to let
his widow repeat stories you’ve heard before. Also, why
it’s fine to invite her to join your holiday dinner,
tree-trimming or caroling plans but not to compare her
to other grieving people you
know. And how appreciative she will be when you send
her a text, card or email during the holidays to let
her know you are thinking of her. In addition, she’ll
share advice for widows
themselves on focusing on the present and what you have
instead of what you used to have. Trish coauthored
“Wonder Widows” with two of her widowed friends. Reach

12. ==> 50+ Artists Share Inspirational Healing
Journeys

Fighting chronic illness can get overwhelming and dark.
Pop singer/songwriter Lisa Sniderman (Aoede) shines a
light on the darkness by sharing inspirational stories
and art from around the
world about creating to heal. Lisa realized midway
through her 10-year battle with a rare, auto-immune
disease that her art wasn’t just therapeutic, it had
become a lifeline, and a path to her
healing. She’s collaborated with 50+ artists,
musicians, and authors who have also turned to
creativity to heal, and shares their stories and art
online, and in a multi-media live/streaming
event next month that everyone can access from
anywhere. “My vision is to share how we’ve become
lights for others through our stories and art, focused
on the art of healing.” Lisa Sniderman is
an award-winning, multi-talented artist and author.

13. ==> How to Start a Business on Your Lunch Hour

Although many people love the idea of being their own
boss, few act on it due to a lack of time, money or
knowledge. Lorri Craig, who started a business out of
her bedroom, can explain how to
start a business on your lunch hour and learn from her
mistakes so you won’t have to repeat them. The creator
of the Lunch Bag MBA program, Lorri can discuss

14. ==> How to Make the Death Penalty More Humane

President Trump has said he wants to reinstate the
death penalty across the board. Ohio’s execution of an
inmate back in 2014 ended up a mess – described as long
and fitful and created a legal
executions dilemma that has plagued the nation both at
a Federal and State level. Regardless of your position
on the death penalty, everyone can agree that if it’s
allowed it needs to be
humane. Dr. Ira Williams says he has the perfect
solution that eliminates all current objections. Dr.
Williams has had dual careers, serving for more than 20
years as a USAF major and senior
navigator/bombardier and for 50 years as a board-
certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon and
anesthesiologist. Contact Dr. Ira Williams at (864)

15. ==> 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

16. ==> Thanks Michelle! Obama Discusses Miscarriage

In her new book, “Becoming,” former first lady Michelle
Obama revealed that before having Malia and Sasha by
IVF she had suffered a devastating miscarriage that
left her feeling hopeless,
broken and like a failure. But the truth is that
miscarriages are more common than most of us believe
with as many as 15 to 20 percent of pregnancies ending
on that sad note. And in most cases,
there is no medical explanation for why the miscarriage
occurred and the couple did nothing wrong. Veronica
Anusionwu, who has helped more than 500 women who
suffered from infertility and had a
miscarriage herself, knows that they take an emotional
toll even decades later. Invite her on your program to
discuss the stigma, the lasting effects and ways
couples can go on to have healthy
pregnancies. She is the author of “Oh God, Why All the
Miscarriages?” Contact her at 0044 (0) 7947831819 (794)

17. ==> How to Get Your Teenage Son to Talk to You

When he was small, he told you every thought that
popped into his head. But now that he is a teenager, it
may be hard to get him to share anything about his
life. How can that be changed?
Interview Diane Auten for some answers for parents of
teens as well as younger children who will be teenagers
one day. Auten is not only a parent of two teenage sons
but also a speech
communication professor who speaks to parents about
ways to communicate better with their offspring. Invite

early to get kids to open up
later. She’ll also explain how to get more from
everyday interactions with boys—including making the

school or athletic practice. As a
bonus, she can also share funny stories from her book,
“The Joys of Raising Boys: The Good, the Bad, and the
Hilarious. Reach her at (805) 440-6532;

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

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

detector. It can also facilitate well-being and growth
in all aspects of your life. It’s our natural state of
being, and the next step in our
evolution as a species. We just need to learn how to
use it!” Kim is an international best-selling author
and Intuition expert who founded the popular CREATE!

surrounding this economic group and the families it
represents? Interview Ivan Obolensky and find out! He

each other, but those around them, both professionally

could be further from the truth.” Find out why trust is
so important to the wealthy – and how it helps keep
them on top. Ivan Obolensky

1. ==> Migrant Caravan – Who Are They?

The caravan of migrants from Central America caused a
crisis at the US/MX border in San Diego this weekend as
hundreds tried to storm the border crossing. President
Trump is again talking about his wall, but who are the
people he’s trying to keep out? 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
Suyapa_Portillo@pitzer.edu; @SuyapaPV

2. ==> Why Sanctuary Cities and States Should Be
Protected

While immigration remains a highly controversial topic,
many experts believe that sanctuary states and cities
serve an important purpose. According to Raleigh
Sadler, a Christian reverend and founder and executive
director of the New York-based non-profit Let My People
Go, these protections can help to decrease epidemic
human trafficking. “One of the first things New York
City Mayor Denis DiBlasio did was to give undocumented
immigrants their own IDs,” he says. “They became a wee
bit less vulnerable. Some people are scared to death to
get an ID because they don’t want to be on a registry.
A lot of immigrants have been conditioned not to trust
anybody. I think this is good.” 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.”

3. ==> He Resigned Over Campaign Against Immigration
Judges

Gianfranco De Girolamo, an immigrant from Italy, became
a US citizen in 2015 and was awarded a coveted position
in the U.S. Department of Justice a year later. But he
recently resigned his position and writes in the Los
Angeles Times: “I had hoped to serve this country for
the long haul. But I couldn’t stand by, or be complicit
in, a mean-spirited and unscrupulous campaign to
undermine the everyday work of the Justice Department
and the judges who serve in our immigration courts — a
campaign that hurts many of my fellow immigrants in the
process. …I’ve long admired the independence and
legitimacy that the judiciary enjoys in the United
States, so I found the attacks on judges deeply
disturbing and troubling. They reminded me of Trump’s
Italian alter-ego, Silvio Berlusconi, who spent most of
his tenure as Italy’s prime minister fighting off
lawsuits by delegitimizing and attacking the judiciary,
calling it ‘a cancer of democracy’ and accusing judges
of being communist.” Gianfranco De Girolamo was an
attorney at the Department of Justice from 2017 to
2018.
He currently practices law in Los Angeles. Contact him

4.==> The Kosher Baker Lightens Up Holiday Favorites

you are celebrating, there is just too much food around
and too many tempting treats. Paula Shoyer has

making them healthier. Paula, a healthy chef with a

5. ==> Bah Humbug! How Carols Unlock Christmas Spirit

In its purest form, the Christmas spirit brings us
closer to our fellow human beings and to the idea of
peace on earth. But in troubled times where incivility
dominates the news and our interactions with others who
are different than us can be testy, some people will
come down with a bad case of the “bah humbugs.”
Affectionately known as Mrs. Christmas, Renae Baker
says the Christmas spirit has an even larger role in
divisive times and singing Christmas carols can help
listeners reclaim their holiday joy. Invite her on your
show and discover the secret legend of “The 12 Days of
Christmas” and the story of a Christmas carol that
prompted soldiers to put down their weapons. A
professional actress and singer for the past 20 years,
Baker has led a large troupe of holiday carolers from
the Broadway community who perform under the names The
Fabulous Fezziwigs and The Broadway CARE-olers at some
of the most iconic sites in New York City. She’s the
author of “Defeating Scrooge: How to Harness the Power
of Christmas Carols to Revive Your Spirit Anytime of
the Year.” Contact her at (917) 509-9022;

6. ==> Learn to Say ‘NO!’ this Holiday

Why is it so hard to say “No!” to your mother-in-law?
Or to your sister who, yet again, has usurped Christmas
Eve dinner? Why is it so hard to set boundaries with
our family members? Especially over the holidays? “It’s
easy to start feeling angry and resentful when we
continually feel we have to say yes to things we don’t
want to do.” says Jennifer Cochern, a seasoned
counselor who helps people understand what boundaries
are, how to create them and how to keep them in place…
even with that mother-in-law! (A daunting task for
sure!) Jennifer Cochern, LCPC is a counselor and the

skills. Contact Jennifer Cochern at (208) 571-2511;

7. ==> The Empty Chair at the Holiday Table

Christmas is one of the most sensual holidays of the
year, with the smells of pine leaves and mistletoe, the
sounds of laughter, hugs, and kisses from those we
love, and delightful decorations painting the
neighborhood with twinkling colored lights. Diann Pass
reminds us that there will be many families who are
missing someone at the family table or Christmas
morning for the first time. One of the most difficult
parts of grief is facing those first holidays. How can
you make those days survivable, and even joyful? Diann,
a chaplain and grief coach, will share ideas to make
the holidays sweet and memorable – again. Reach Diann
at (432) 352-2848; diannpass@yahoo.com

8. ==> Help! The Annoying Relatives Are Coming

Tis the season to be merry. However, some relatives
make it difficult to spend time with them. There’s
Uncle Harry, who loves to argue politics and your
mother-in-law who nitpicks the food, the tree and just
about everything else. And even your dad, who can’t
resist showering you with unwanted advice. Instead of
getting stressed out by the usual suspects, interview
psychotherapist Gillian Padgett for tips you can use to
get through the holidays with more joy. An expert on
reducing stress, Gillian will share the importance of
planning your escape route ahead of time, leaving your
emotional baggage outside, and trying to understand the
offending person’s modus operandi and your former role
in setting that person off. She can even explain ways
holiday stress can be a gift! Gillian is the author of
“Let Stress Heal Your Life.” Reach her at (647)

9. ==> How to Deal with the Drunk at the Holiday Party

With 1 out of every 3 people suffering from addiction,
you’ll likely be in the company of an addict of some
sort over the holiday season. Interview Michael McGee,
MD and learn 5 tips to deal with someone whose
addiction-fueled behavior can ruin everyone’s good
time. He’ll help your audience navigate this
uncomfortable experience in the moment, both in their
homes and at the inevitable office holiday party! Dr.
Michael McGee trained at Stanford and Harvard Medical
Schools and has helped hundreds of patients beat
addiction and go on to lead full lives. He is the
author of “Joy of Recovery: The New 12 Step Guide to
Recovery from Addiction.” Contact Dr. McGee at (978)
360-6071; mdm@wellmind.com

10. ==> Should You Buy a Christmas Puppy? Dress Your
Dog as Santa?

The holidays aren’t just for people. Pets also
experience them; sometimes that means dressing them up
in “cute costumes” for Instagram photos, taking them to
have their photo taken with Santa Claus, treating them
to new foods and toys and exposing them to a barrage of
unfamiliar guests. Animal intuitive Nora Truscello will
share how to give your pets happier holidays by
“reading” their energy, how to tell if your pet likes
posing for photos in the outfit you have in mind, and
how to choose a puppy or dog to best fit your family.
Nora can even read the energy of pets that are not in
the room to help people get the answers about their
pet’s preferences they crave the most. Nora Truscello
is the author of “The Science of Intuition” and “The
Spiritual Psychic.” Contact her at (302) 803-2307;
nora@intointuition.com

11. ==> Cameraman Takes on Organized Crime Ring

David Alan Arnold lives a dangerous life as an airborne
helicopter cameraman for Deadliest Catch and other TV
shows. But perhaps the most dangerous thing he has ever
done—and some might say the foolhardiest—is taking on
the organized crime ring at a school bus stop near his
rural home in Sky Forest, Calif. For four years, the
ring has terrorized locals into silence, he says, even
as it engaged in drug dealing, kidnapping, human
trafficking, and operating an unlicensed and illegal
drug rehab center. And, he says, it has done so openly
without penalty from police and town officials or
coverage by the media. Learn how an unlicensed drug
rehab could exist in his hometown—or yours—without
proper, government oversight or keeping track of
patients, and how the dead body of a 21-year-old
patient was hidden behind a school bus stop for eight
months. Arnold tells the details of the harrowing story
in his latest book, “Help from Above: What Lies Above
the Clouds” and an upcoming documentary. Arnold has
been a helicopter cameraman for 22 years doing work or
almost every TV network. Contact him at (818) 512-8981;
airbornecamera@me.com

12. ==> Health-Care Fraud Costs Taxpayers $100 Billion
a Year

Health-care fraud is rampant and rising, costing
taxpayers at least $100 billion annually. Some
physicians pad their incomes by duplicate billing,
billing for services they don’t perform or performing
services patients do not even need. Sharon Bahrych, who
has been a physician assistant for 30 years and is
researching a TEDx talk on the subject of health-care
fraud, can talk about what motivates doctors to cheat
as well as share startling statistics and incidents of
fraud she encountered in her own career. More
importantly, she can share what patients can do to
report it and stop it. Sharon trained at Baylor College
of Medicine and has a master’s in public health from
the University of Texas School of Public Health. Reach
her at (303) 770-1645; colorado-pa@msn.com

13. ==> 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 firsthand how important it is to take
control of your health and your body. She’ll share
shortcuts she learned the hard way, fighting her way
back to good health after 28 symptoms of an auto-immune
illness went misdiagnosed and untreated for years. A
highly successful tech entrepreneur educated at Wharton
and Harvard, Reena has a strong personal story of
surviving two major illnesses before the age of 50.

14. ==> Where Have All the Good Conversations Gone?

Think about it. When’s the last time you had a decent
conversation? With your spouse? Your friends? Your
coworkers? If you’re like most people, having good
conversations is a thing of the past. Between social
media overload and living in the land of soundbites,
the art of conversation is dead. Enter Jean-Paul
Gravel, an Emotional Freedom expert, who can explain
exactly why your audience isn’t having the
conversations they can and why. He’ll explain why
unlocking the hidden power of Emotional Freedom is the
key to not only having a great conversation for a
change, but also creating a better mindset so that your
emotions are working for you, not against you. Jean-
Paul Gravel is an international speaker, author, and
coach, whose work has been endorsed by medical doctors,
top CEO, entrepreneurs, and many others, and has been
featured in many regional and national publications.

15. ==> Wonder Widows Break the Silence of Widowhood

There are more than 11 million widows living in America
and every year, more women join their ranks, some
suddenly, others after a spouse’s long illness. While
friends and family want to help, they often have no
idea what to do to help a woman recover her equilibrium
after the loss of her husband. Three friends from
Albuquerque have written “Wonder Widows: Three Grieving
Widows Coming Together to Break the Silence of
Widowhood” to help others cope and understand. Peggy
Langenwalter was widowed after 42 years of marriage
when her husband died of injuries after falling off a
ladder, Trish Comer’s 36-year marriage ended after her
spouse was felled by a short illness, and Jennifer Cox-
Horak was married just six years and pregnant with her
second child when her husband succumbed to pancreatic
cancer. The Wonder Windows will offer dos and don’ts
for interacting with grieving widows including how to
offer real help and support, and things you should
never say after when someone’s lost a loved one. The
three are wellness educators whose combined expertise
includes hypnosis, Ayurveda and aromatherapy. Contact
Trish Comer at (505) 268-6097; trish@wonderwidows.com

16. ==> Do a Show on Long Distance Healing

For a great live show, ask listeners to send in healing
requests and have Ed Kuiper, to teach the audience how
to harness their collective energy and transmit it to
the recipients. Ed has done this successfully before
with live audiences and amazing reports of healing that
occur are a powerful witness to the healing energy in
all of us that most of us don’t know we have. 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.” Contact him at (207)

17. ==> Interview the Decision Doula

Sometimes making a tough decision can feel like giving
birth! Have you ever had to make a tough decision?
Like whether to leave a job? Get out of a relationship?
Or what medical treatment to pursue? It can leave you
feeling scared, lonely, and frozen with fear. Terrie
Novak is an expert at decision-making, or “choice-
making” as she likes to call it. As a systems analyst,
she does it every day at work for her customers. So,
when she was faced with a scary diagnosis and an even
scarier treatment option, she decided (after freaking
out) to apply what she does at work to help her make
some important decisions. Terrie Novak’s unique
framework for “choice-making” can be applied to
decisions of any kind. Her book, “Hypothesis: An HPV
Healing Experiment”, outlines a six-step process she
created to help heal herself. Contact Terrie at (503)

18. ==> Are People without Kids Happier?

Do people without children have more freedom and
control in their lives? Are they happier as a result?
Patricia Houtz will share what the research shows as
she explains why she decided not to be a wife—or
mother. Childlessness is becoming more common in the
U.S., with over 47 percent of U.S. women childless by
age 45. She can also talk about what young women see in
older men, when she carried a 9mm gun and busted drug
dealers and the unexpected thing that happened when she
turned down a marriage proposal. Houtz is the author of
the upcoming book “Solo by Choice,” a memoir in which
she shares the remarkable life she has led by being
proudly single and child-free. Reach her at (775)

19. ==> The Future is Feminine!

Men have been running the world for thousands of years.
But could we be headed into a more collaborative world
in which women will be increasingly running the show?
Lorri Craig will explain why the future is feminine
covering how a female-led world will affect the
business world, the way we raise our sons and daughters
and more. She’ll also share ways this change should
lead to fresh ideas and greater empathy and what men
will need to know about fitting in. She’ll talk about
everything from more women attending college than men,
more women starting businesses than men, more women
running for political offices, the success of the Me
Too Movement and more. Craig is a Certified Financial
Planner with a master’s degree in finance. She is the
developer of the Wake the Warrior Woman program.
Contact her at (541) 420-0667; lorricraig@gmail.com

20. ==> Is Feminism the Cause of Divorce?

In the old days, women mostly stayed home, raised the
kids and kept house while their husbands were the
breadwinners. Those days are over, as most couples,
especially those with children, require two incomes
just to survive. Plus, women have made tremendous
strides in terms of independence and career
establishment. But according to Pastor Eric Hawthorne,
men and women should maintain old-fashioned,
traditional roles in order to have successful
marriages. “The ladies should submit to their
husbands,” he says. “The way the scriptures are
written, wives should honor those things, even if she
makes more money. It’s important to look up to the man
to be the leader of the family.” While this view may
seem shocking and even offensive to modern feminists,
Eric will share how this philosophy can actually help
couples to build and maintain strong marital bonds.
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)

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

from addiction? This means that most likely we will all

– Thanksgiving through New Year’s. Interview Michael
McGee, M.D. to discover five tips on how to deal with

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

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

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
earth with a big dose of common sense. Her latest book

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

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
through this traumatic experience healthier and happier
than ever. Contact him at arandle1076@ gmail.com or

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
in schools, Steindorf won national acclaim in Europe
for the CORE Success program that she designed after a
school shooting in Germany. Contact her at (541) 550-
0451; Leeza@CoreSuccess.com

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
at (972) 345-4670; ksuchman@sbcglobal.net

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

Your Dream Job.” Contact her at (210) 601-7852;

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
latest book is “From Trauma to Tranquility” Reach 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
of people discover the secret for knowing when to stop
eating. She is the author of “Eat Want You Want! Stop
When You Want!” Reach her at (212) 464-8590;

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
tragedy. Her debut book, “I Will Always Love You,” has
helped thousands of people move forward with their
lives. Contact Melissa Lyons at (519) 562-0209;

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

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:
Unlock Your Inner Wisdom and Live the Life Your Soul
Desires.” Contact him at (425) 531-3684.

When Anthony Randle’s wife Jessica was diagnosed with
stage four breast cancer, he seriously considered

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

14. ==> How to Turn Procrastination into an Asset

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.”

teacher and performer, has presented internationally,

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

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

themselves feel better – if only for a short time – is
the key to recovery. Ask him about his unique 12 Step
Touchstone Approach to Recovery from addiction and why

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
Amazon bestselling memoir is “Buried Rivers: A
Spiritual Journey into the Holocaust.” Reach her at

5. ==> Should Parents Restrict Kids’ Halloween Candy
Consumption?

Trick-or-Treat 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

kids eat all the candy they want? Should you restrict

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
consultant with degrees in psychology and business
administration and management, Dr. Dee has testified
before the U.S. Senate Committee on Housing and Urban
Affairs and has been featured on CNN, Fortune 500, News
Talk 1450 AM, WOLB AM News Radio, and other media

7. ==> Listen to These Twilight Zone Stories That
Really Happened

Daredevil David Arnold cheats death every day as an
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

Truscello reveals that nightmares are actually good for
us. Behind nightmares and those sexually charged dreams

to assist you? Invite her to reveal the hidden secrets

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
from the Sociopaths, Psychopaths, and Sexopaths in Your
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.

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.

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
does so with great storytelling and insights on ways
more jobs and lives can be saved. Yager (Yay-ger) is

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

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.
Journalist Joe Milliken, author of “Let’s Go! Benjamin
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;

3. ==> Documentary Filmmaker on ‘Restoring Tomorrow’

Aaron Wolf’s new documentary ‘Restoring Tomorrow’ is
getting rave reviews, just qualified for Oscar
nomination and premieres across the country on Nov.
13th. The documentary begins with snapshots of holy
sites that have fallen into disrepair, and camera pans
across pews and podiums covered in cobwebs and plastic
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
to churches and houses of worship across the world as
people walk away from organized religion, and what
affect that has on communities and families. Contact
Jason Jones at (512) 720-2996; jason@jonesliterary.com

4. ==> Zach Holmes from MTV’s ‘Too Stupid to Die’

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
antics — from taking rat traps to the face to drilling
a metal rod through his earlobe – proving that they’re
“Too Stupid to Die.” Contact John Angelo at
john@premieretv.com

5. ==> 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
from the Sociopaths, Psychopaths, and Sexopaths in Your
Life” comes out in November. Reach her at (615)

6. ==> 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

7. ==> Harness the Powerful Intuitive Meaning Behind
Nightmares

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)

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
consultant with degrees in psychology and business
administration and management, Dr. Dee has testified
before the U.S. Senate Committee on Housing and Urban
Affairs and has been featured on CNN, Fortune 500, News
Talk 1450 AM, WOLB AM News Radio, and other media
nationwide. “Emotional Emancipation: Step into Your
Freedom, Reinvent Your Challenges and Move Beyond” is
her new book. Contact her at (301) 587-0700;
drdeecarroll@gmail.com

9. ==> She’s a Real-Life ‘Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’

“Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” recently won seven Emmy awards
including best comedy series and lead actress in a
comedy series. The series which takes place in 1953
chronicles the fictional Midge’s Maisel’s emergence as
a boundary-pushing comedienne. In a fun interview, have
Paloma Capanna—who was born in 1966—offer your audience
at least five reasons why she is a real-life version of
Maisel. Paloma can also talk about what Mrs. Maisel
would have in common with Jack Kerouac and what it’s
like to open yourself up to a room full of people,
putting into words feelings they can’t articulate
themselves. With decades of experience on the open-mic
circuit, Paloma is a civil rights attorney turned
writer. Her first book is “Nearly Fifty: A Collection
of Essays.” Reach her at (315) 584-2929;

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
at (614) 432-2717; sara@singlemomsasksara.com

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
unique approach to medicine combining TCM (Traditional
Chinese Medicine) with conventional medicine. She is
the author of “The Answer to Cancer” and “The Tao of
Integrative Medicine” and the host of the podcast
“Awakened Wellness with Mylaine Riobe, MD.” Contact Dr.
Mylaine Riobe at (772) 285-7788;
mylaineriobe@comcast.net?

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
(805) 757-3322; nicole@nicoleblack.com

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;
dashama@dashama.com

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;

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

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.

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.”

patients with anxiety and depression and teaching

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

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
