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

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

2. ==> TV Judge Lauren Lake

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

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

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

4. ==> Beat Climate Change AND Save Money

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

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

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

6. ==> Interview the Undertaker’s Daughter

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

12. ==> How to Triple Your Energy without Coffee

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

audiences discover their superpowers. Quoted in Shape
and Fitness, she is the author of “SuperPowers, A Busy
Woman’s Guide to Health and Happiness.” Reach her at

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

There are many things that can be done to make certain
medical test procedures more bearable. But the catch is
patients have to ask for them and too often, nurses and
doctors fail to tell their patients they’re possible.
Nancy Michaels, an author and speaker who advises
hospitals and health-care providers on effective ways
to improve patient satisfaction, says patients need to
advocate for themselves by asking that treatments and
procedures be less painful. She’ll share tips on
talking to your doctor and what everyone should know if
they’re nervous or feeling uncomfortable about an
upcoming treatment or procedure. Nancy Michaels has
worked with the ICU Patient Advisory Council at Beth
Israel Deaconess Medical Center and is a member of the
Patient and Family Advisory Council – The Partnership
for Patients, a public-private partnership working to
improve the quality, safety and affordability of health
care for all Americans. Michaels has been featured by
CNN-fn, Fox News, and Weekend Today Show among others.
Her now book is “Patient Speak.” Contact her at (617)

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

As opioid addiction has reached epidemic proportions,
most treatment programs focus merely on treating the
symptoms. But Dr. Steven M. Hall claims they are
getting it all wrong. “The magnitude of the problem is
mind-boggling, and most recovery programs don’t address
how this started in the first place,” he says. Thus, he
has devised a three-pronged treatment program with
which he has helped dozens of patients in his private
practice overcome addiction that addresses the physical
and emotional causes of addiction. “It’s true that
people’s emotions are as important as their physical
feelings,” he says. “I teach people how to be healthy
with their feelings.” Dr. Steven received his medical
degree from University of Utah School of Medicine and
has been practicing family medicine since 1985. He is
the author of “The 7 Tools of Healing: Unlock Your
Inner Wisdom and Live the Life Your Soul Desires.”
Contact him at (425) 531-3684.

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

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

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

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

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

We keep score during soccer, baseball, tennis,
football, and golf. But should we also be keeping a
running score of our own lives? See what you think when
author and golfer Andre Huu shares his ingenious
scorecard for adding meaning to your round of life.
You’ll find out what hole you are currently on, what
mistakes you may have made on past holes and what you

18. ==> This Nazi Germany Survivor Forgave Hitler

While growing up in Nazi Germany, Rosemarie Musso’s
dentist father was almost executed for helping Jews to
evade capture. Although she and her family were spared
following the intervention of a well-connected family
friend, Rosemarie harbored deep anger and hatred toward
Hitler for decades. But she eventually forgave him upon
becoming a Born Again Christian, and she claims this
changed her life for the better. “When God told me to
forgive Hitler, I said you have got to be kidding,” she
says. “How could I forgive what this monster did? When
you carry grudges with you, it changes and transforms
you and turns you into a sour pickle.” She channeled
that energy into earning a law degree at age 63, and
writing the book “The Four Laws of Forgiveness:
Memories of Survival During WWII Nazi Germany.” She can
share how forgiving even the most heinous acts can
enable us to live more peaceful, harmonious lives.
Contact her at Fisch57@aol.com or (205) 515-5407.

19. ==> How Kids Will Save the World

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As the East Coast braces for Hurricane Leslie, North
Carolina is still recovering from Hurricane Florence
that hit weeks ago. Entire neighborhoods are completely
submerged and because of the rancid standing water,
swarms of huge mosquitos 20 times the size of normal
ones are terrorizing residents. Discuss how to survive
in the aftermath of such destruction when you invite
Christine Perakis on your show. She was alone in her
home in the Caribbean when the most powerful storm ever
recorded in the Atlantic Basin blew the roof of her
house, destroyed everything in it and leaving her
without running water, electricity and telecoms for
months. Christine Perakis, Esq. is a certified mountain
rescuer, an EMT, a 100-ton-licensed boat captain,

Her bestselling book, “The Entrepreneur’s Essential
Roadmap” is a small business survival guide. Christine

5. ==> Real Life Russian Spy Story

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

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

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

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

Small business owners/managers, entrepreneurs and

Business

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

17. ==> Bad Mistakes Even Good Teachers Make

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

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

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

19. ==> Laugh Your Way to Success

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

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

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

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

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

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

2. ==> Democrats’ Bogus Judicial Temperament Claim

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

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

Best known for his portrayal of Phillip Chancellor III on the daytime drama “The
Young and The Restless,” Thom Bierdz is out with a bombshell tell-all sharing

entertainment industry, and has secluded himself in a cabin in Lake Arrowhead
without TV and minimal contact with the outside world for the past seven years.

6. ==> She Survived a Tsunami Like the One in Indonesia

Last week, an earthquake sent 20-foot high waves of water across the Indonesian
island of Sulawesi. Many homes were instantly washed away and many families are
missing. Tsunamis are relatively rare examples of nature at its unpredictable
worst and few people who experience them live to tell the tale. Sana Brauner is
one of the lucky ones. She will share the compelling story of how she survived
the wall of water when her holiday in Thailand turned deadly. Sana’s son and ex-
husband also survived but her mother did not. Her two-year-old daughter has
never been found. Sana can talk about what it is like to lose everything you
hold dear in an instant and the steps she has taken to recover from her 2004
ordeal. She is the author of “The Borrowed Daughter,” a memoir containing
lessons to help anyone going through a life crisis. Contact her at

7. ==> How Dads Can Raise Strong Daughters in the #MeToo Age

Dads play a very important role when it comes to empowering their young
daughters to become strong, independent women. Long-time female empowerment
advocate Kailin Gow offers valuable insights for dads of daughters. “Raising a
daughter who is aware and knowledgeable of the world so that she can navigate
through it with her eyes open, rather than closed, can be one of her best
protections,” she says. “Knowledge is power.” Kailin has released a book
especially for dads: “Raising Strong Daughters: What Fathers Should Know.” She
can share how men can help to empower their daughters when it comes to the
threats of sexual assault, school violence, bullying and other challenging life
situations young girls experience in modern society. Kailin is the founder of

8. ==> 5 Things You Should Know: Caring for a Loved One with Breast Cancer

When a friend or loved one is diagnosed with breast cancer it can be difficult
to know how to help. Joffre McClung, who cared for a friend while battling
cancer says, “Almost everyone at some point in their lives is going to have to

let it, take everything out of you. However, you can be there wholeheartedly for
the person and not have to lose yourself in the process.” Invite her on your

use the experience for your own growth, and hear what every woman should do this

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

Mark Landau says the problems surrounding us today are enormous. “Manmade
climate disruption escalates. The corruption of our democracy is nearly
complete. We edge closer to nuclear terrorism and war. We are ruled by money. We
must face these facts.” He says, “Those who deny them have their heads in the
sand and those who don’t, recoil, self-medicate and entertain them away. Unless
enough of us get behind doing something about them, they will likely reach their
logical end.” Landau says there’s still hope and we can turn the ship in a
better direction, but the time to act is now. Invite Landau on your show and
explore stunning, new, little-known developments and courses of action as well
as ancient, barely appreciated understandings that help make sense of our
psychotic world. Mark Landau is the founder of L&F, The Love and Forgiveness

10. ==> This M.D. Has a Cure for ‘Trump Anxiety Syndrome’

If you’ve been feeling anxious, hopeless, angry, fearful and depressed since the
2016 presidential election, you’re not alone. Trump Anxiety Syndrome (TAS) is a
thing, and physician Steven M. Hall has seen an uptick in patients suffering
from this. According to Dr. Steven, this is exactly what Trump wants. “This
feeds Trump; he lives on this,” he says. “Reasoning doesn’t work with Trump
supporters. Liberal people want to do everything with reason, but it just
doesn’t work. You can’t change other people’s minds.” Not only does TAS affect
people mentally, the stress it causes can also impact their physical health. Dr.
Steven can share simple yet powerful ways to combat the stress, on both the
mental and physical levels. Dr. Steven received his medical degree from
University of Utah School of Medicine and has been practicing family medicine
since 1985. He is the author of “The 7 Tools of Healing: Unlock Your Inner
Wisdom and Live the Life Your Soul Desires.” Contact him at (425) 531-3684.

Dr. Ira Williams often calls himself the ‘Don Quixote’ of health care reform. At
85 years young he has been hounding the five federal agencies created to solve
the health care crisis in this country for decades. With over 130 years

really broken!” Dr. Williams will tell you why each state is responsible for our
nation’s healthcare delivery system, what the 3-phase process is that we need to
implement to create a 21st century healthcare delivery system and how to

15. ==> Is Staying in Your Home the Best Choice for Retirees?

Many retirees want to stay in their home as long as possible. After all, it’s
often where they raised their children and is located near their faith community
and familiar shopping spots. Financial planner Penelope Tzougros helps people
dispassionately evaluate whether staying put or going makes the best economic
sense. Tzougros (pronounced Sue-grows) will share stories, insights, fears and
clever solutions her clients made when facing the same dilemma. “Ultimately,”
she says, “this is not a real estate decision but a decision about what retirees
need to have the best life possible.” She adds, “And the reality is that when a
house’s maintenance costs are draining people’s savings, it is no longer an
asset.” Penelope S. Tzougros, Ph.D., ChFC, CLU, is a Financial Consultant,
speaker and founder of Wealthy Choices. She is the author of several books
including her latest, “Your Home Sweet Home.” Contact her at (617) 733-3731;

16. ==> Interview ‘The Decision Doctor’

Have you ever had to make a tough decision? Like whether to leave a job? Get out
of a relationship? Or what medical treatment to pursue? It can leave you feeling
scared, lonely, and frozen with fear. Terrie Novak is an expert at decision-
making… or “choice-making” as she likes to call it. As a systems analyst, she

18. ==> Is Cell Phone Addiction Hijacking Your Family?

Being a child used to be filled with possibilities: playing in the mud, climbing
jungle gyms and pretending to be anything that could be imagined. But today,
more children than ever are dealing with ADHD, anxiety and depression. Digital
addiction may be to blame, says Patsie McCandless, a retired primary school
teacher. She says, “We can’t turn back the clock on cell phones, video games and
tablets, all of which take parents and children away from each other, but we can
and must decide to be more present in our children’s lives to support the magic
of their growth and learn how to have fun with them again.” You’ll learn why the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6. ==> Can the U.S. Win This Weekend’s Ryder Cup?

The best golfers from the USA and Europe will face off
this weekend at the 89th Ryder Cup at Le Golf National
in France. Will the team of U.S. golfers which includes
Brooks Koepka, Dustin, Johnson, Justin Thomas, and
Tiger Woods prevail, taking the cup for the first time
on European soil in 25 years? Interview Andre Huu for
some insight on that topic as well as whether Tiger
Woods will continue his inspiring comeback and what the
game of golf can teach anyone about resilience and
living life to the fullest. Huu is a former physical
therapist and golf enthusiast who has written “The
Round of Your Life.” Reach him at (832) 418-8860;

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

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

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

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

9. ==> Are Natural Disasters Occurring More Frequently?

Devastating wildfires. Damaging hurricanes. Major
earthquakes. Are these disasters truly becoming more
frequent and more deadly? Or are we just paying
attention in new ways? Dr. Robin Burk has the answer.
She can prepare your audience on what to do before
disaster hits. Dr. Burk is an expert on the hidden
vulnerabilities of our global, tech-driven world and on
the steps we can take to mitigate unraveling when

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

Most people buy insurance from a friendly agent at a
specific time and for a specific purpose… but did you
know that 90% of all policies lapse before maturity? Or
that when you don’t need your policy any longer you
could sell it? For cash? Chances are you have no idea
the hidden cash value of your policy… or that you are
paying more than you should for the policy you have.
Interview David Kottler, the Insurance Doctor ™, about
these and other best kept secrets that insurance
companies don’t want you to know! He can explain what
you need to ask to figure out exactly what your policy
is worth. David is an attorney, entrepreneur, financial
planner and renowned speaker who combines his legal and
business experience with a passion for philanthropy.

11. ==> Budget Wine Without the Box

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

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

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

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

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

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

Do your favorite foods include cheese, beer, and French
fries? Would it surprise you to learn that these foods
might also lead you to experience more stress? It’s
true, says Gillian Padgett, a psychotherapist,
hypnotherapist and stress expert who has studied the
interplay of nutrition and stress for 25 years. Gillian
can share the surprising ways the foods we eat can add
to our stress, put us in a foul mood and even affect us
days after we eat them! In addition to sharing the five
foods that add to our stress, she can also reveal her
list of foods that lend themselves to calmness. She’ll
also explain why you need to pay special attention to
food additives if you are concerned about mitigating
stress. Gillian is the author of “Let Stress Heal Your
Life.” Reach her at (647) 270-7602;

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

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

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

When you were young, did your parents protect you by
attempting to fix your problems? Did they encourage you
to keep smiling and suppress any painful emotions? If
so, they may not have realized their kids could face a
lifetime of pain from all the emotional baggage they’ve
been carrying around. “Parents may say, ‘Don’t
embarrass me, make me proud, you’re an adult now,’ but
never fully deal with the emotions behind each of those
statements,” Dr. Dee Carroll says. As a result, when
teens go off to college or move away, they’re likely to
run into problems they don’t know how to handle. “It’s
not until they get to a point of no return that they
reach out. At this point, they are knee deep in
adversity and never got the memo on how to deal with
it.” Dr. Dee urges parents to start early in teaching
their kids how to face adversity and stop hiding from
their emotions. She can also share her story of how she
overcame insurmountable odds using her ‘freedom’
technique. She is a speaker, coach, management
consultant and the author of “Emotional Emancipation:
Step into Your Freedom, Reinvent Your Challenges and
Move Beyond.” Contact her at (301) 587-0700;

18. ==> Tips to Get Boys Talking

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6. ==> Real Life Russian Spy Story

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

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

Hurricane Florence not only destroyed homes throughout
the Carolinas, it also battered thousands of businesses
in the region. Donna Childs, a former reinsurance
executive, can explain what businesses now
face after the massive storm, where they can turn for
help, and how business owners, just like home owners,
should plan for disasters. Donna’s been honored by the
American Red Cross for her volunteer work
helping small businesses in the Gulf Coast states
recover from Hurricanes Katrina, Gustav and Ike. She’s
dealt with disasters around the world and at Ground

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

Are you working hard? Or working smart? Growing a
business can feel like a daunting task. What most
people don’t realize is that they aren’t focusing on

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

10. ==> Confessions of a Badass Widow

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

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

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

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

Whether it’s Demi Lovato and addiction, Michael J. Fox
talking about Parkinson’s Disease or Selena Gomez
discussing Lupus, celebrities these days seem very
willing to publicly discuss their health issues.
Lisa Sniderman (Aoede), a pop singer/songwriter
herself, applauds their honesty and using their
notoriety to help educate and raise awareness about
chronic illness. She says sharing your journey is
powerful—and healing–for you and others who are
struggling. Lisa, who battles a rare, auto-immune
disease, has collaborated with more than 50 artists,
musicians, and authors who have turned to creativity
to heal to create a multimedia live/streaming event

13. ==> It’s Pain Awareness Month: Are You Starting to
Make Dad Sounds?

Oy! Do you find yourself making the same noises your
parents make when they get up from a chair or sit down?
If this sounds like you—or someone you know—you’ll want
to interview Anna Lee, M.D., a board-
certified pain management physician. During Pain
Awareness Month in September, Dr. Lee can answer such
questions as why are so many people walking around in
pain? Why do we sometimes wake up with numb
hands? Where does pain really originate? Why are so
many physicians so bad at treating pain? Anna Lee,
M.D., trained at Hahnemann and the University of
Pennsylvania and is the developer of an FDA-approved
pain treatment that draws clients from across the

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

We have all heard how you can save money, time,
property and possessions by being more organized. But
wise vs. lackluster organization habits can even save
your life! That’s the message of RN/APRN (nurse
practitioner) and author Anne McAwley-LeDuc, who is
creating a new movement for maintaining personal health
history — a life-saving practice! With the release of
her critically acclaimed workbook
“Personal Health Organizer: Record Your Medical and
Dental History, Birth Through Life,” Anne is helping
people keep their health records, including: medical
conditions, surgeries, childhood health
history, orthopedic history, immunizations, allergies,
dental procedures and much more. After all, it’s really
easy to forget key health facts, to your peril,
especially with our busy lives that often
involve travel, moving, and establishing relationships
with new doctors/clinics/hospitals. Invite Anne to
discuss her strategies for staying “in the know” about
your health journey. Contact her at (860)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.” Contact Stephanus J.

20. ==> How to Make Small Talk with a Trump Supporter

You arrive at your new friend’s party only to discover
they and all of their friends are fervent Trump
supporters. And you despise Trump! This could be your
worst nightmare. But rather than engaging in a
shouting match, find out what it is they love about
Trump, which of his policies speak the most to them,
and why. Understanding could be the key to bridging
the great divide in America at the moment. So
says author and environmental engineer Yasmin Davar,

destructive thought patterns on the individual level

happiness for the entire world. Yasmin holds a Master

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

1. ==> Christine Blasey Ford, I Believe You

Goldie Taylor understands why Christine Blasey Ford
kept her sexual assault a secret for three decades. She
too was abused in high school, by a football coach, and
told no one for 30 years until she
found out her abuser was working in a neighboring
school district and still had access to students. She
believes Blasey Ford’s claims, but also believes it’s
quite possible that Kavanaugh will still be
confirmed to the High Court. “Some will contend that
Kavanaugh’s behavior at age 17 should be dismissed as
the mistakes of a drunken school boy and have no
bearing on his future. This boys-will-be-boys
(and dare I say white boys) mentality when it involves
sexual impropriety presents a danger to every young
woman. It says she will not be believed and, even if
she is, it does not matter. She does not
matter.” Goldie Taylor is a novelist, opinion writer
and former political strategist. She’s been a featured
political analyst on nearly every major news network
and has been a guest on numerous shows
including Good Morning America, Dr. Phil and NPR’s All
Things Considered. Her novel, “Paper Gods,” is due out
in October. Contact her at contact@goldietaylor.com or
@goldietaylor

2. ==> Kavanaugh, Weinstein and the Definition of
Consent

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Harvey
Weinstein, (who’s back in court on Sept 20th) both
demonstrate the critical need to define consent in our
laws. Joyce Short says ” Defining ‘consent’ is
the critical key to conquer sexual assault, but 76% of
the states and territories of the US, including NY
where Weinstein is on trial, have no consent
definition. Neither does federal law. Enough is
enough!” Short, a three-time sexual assault survivor,
spent years researching consent. She says, “#MeToo and
#TimesUp focused a glaring light on sexual assault. But
we still need a solution.
Standardizing consent is critical to that solution.”
Short is the author of “Combating Romance Scams: Why
Lying to Get Laid Is a Crime!” “Carnal Abuse by
Deceit,” and a TEDx talk entitled “When Yes Means
No: The Truth about Consent.” Contact her at (917)

3. ==> The Elephant in the Sacristy Revisited

Sixteen years ago, at the height of the 2002 clergy sex
scandals in the Catholic church and on the eve of a
meeting of bishops in Dallas, The Weekly Standard
published an essay by Mary Eberstadt called
“The Elephant in the Sacristy.” It included an in-depth
look at some of the most notorious clergy abuse cases
of the time. She now writes that the Catholic Church,
despite the latest news of more clergy
abuse, is in a far better place than it was 16 years
ago. She explains what has changed, what needs to
happen next and why she believes there’s reason for
hope.
“Good things will come of the evil confronted today.
Judging by the signs of newfound courage and
questioning, they already are. The ultimate legacy of
2018, whether we live to see it in this world or
not, will be a holier and more transparent church.”
Mary Eberstadt is senior research fellow at the Faith &
Reason Institute. An essayist, novelist, and author of
several books of non-fiction, her
writing has appeared in TIME, the Wall Street Journal,
The Weekly Standard, and other outlets. Contact her at
(202) 289-8775

4. ==> The Post-Financial Crisis Cooperative Business
Boom

This month marks the 10-year anniversary of the Lehman
Brothers bankruptcy and the beginning of the most
severe financial crisis and economic downturn since the
Great Depression. Invite Nathan Schneider
to discuss how, in the years since, there’s been a
revival in another kind of business that could provide
a real alternative to Wall Street. “Cooperatives are
businesses owned by and accountable to their
participants — ranging from small grocery stores to
Cabot Creamery and Organic Valley, from Ace Hardware to
the Associated Press. There’s a new generation bringing
this legacy into the 21st century,
building co-ops out of Bitcoin and low-wage care-work,
challenging the likes of Uber and the coal industry, as
electric co-ops are doing.” Nathan Schneider is a
professor of media studies at the
University of Colorado Boulder. He is the author of
“Everything for Everyone: The Radical Tradition That Is
Shaping the Next Economy.” Contact him at
nathan.schneider@colorado.edu or @ntnsndr

5. ==> HBO’s The Deuce-Meets the Princess of 42nd
Street

HBO’s acclaimed series The Deuce is back! The show is
set in New York’s Times Square when pornography,
prostitutes and drugs were rampant. Romola Hodas says
watching the series with an actor playing her
dad is surreal; like watching her life play out on TV!
Romola s father was known as Times Square’s King of
Porn. He almost single-handedly developed Times Square
into New York’s hub of pornography and
adult entertainment in the 60s through the 80s, when
peep shows and live sex acts lined the streets. As the
oldest daughter of Martin Hodas, Romola grew up in a
chaotic whirlwind of swingers, mental
illness, drugs and organized crime. At the same time,
she was also protecting her three siblings from a
mother with bipolar and personality disorder. Invite
her on your show and hear how she survived two
attempted kidnappings, took family vacations with
mobsters, and what she thinks about the series.
Listeners can even win a copy of her book “The Princess
of 42nd Street surviving my childhood as the
Daughter of Times Square’s King of Porn.” Contact
Romola Hodas at (917) 863-1533; Harmony@Romola.com

6. ==> Getting Back to Business after the Hurricane

Hurricane Florence not only destroyed homes throughout
the Carolinas, it also battered thousands of businesses
in the region. Donna Childs, a former reinsurance
executive, can explain what businesses now
face after the massive storm, where they can turn for
help, and how business owners, just like home owners,
should plan for disasters. Donna’s been honored by the
American Red Cross for her volunteer
work helping small businesses in the Gulf Coast states
recover from Hurricanes Katrina, Gustav and Ike. She’s
dealt with disasters around the world and at Ground

7. ==> Prepare for Post-Hurricane Scam Surge

Unfortunately, if your home is damaged in a hurricane,
the dangers don’t end when the storm does. Unscrupulous
home repair scams skyrocket after a natural disaster.
William Francavilla says thieves know
their victims’ vulnerabilities and are always looking
for opportunities to steal their money. Invite him to
explain how to avoid being ripped off in a storm-
related repair, share common home-repair
scams, and what you need to know before hiring anyone
to work on your house. Francavilla is the author of
“The Madoffs Among Us, Combat the Scammers, Con Artists
and Thieves Who Are Plotting to Steal
your Money.” He’s a CFP and former senior vice
president, director of Wealth Management for Legg Mason
who has extensive media experience. Contact him at
(757) 870-4590; wmfrancavilla@gmail.com

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

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

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

Small business owners/managers, entrepreneurs and
anyone with a bank account will want to hear from
profitability specialist Ruth King on how to protect
their assets from embezzlers—especially when such
criminals use QuickBooks® to access private financial
information. Author of several best-selling finance
books including “The Ugly Truth about Cash” series,
King will reveal how brazen thieves capture
information and falsify/steal/alter YOUR QuickBooks®
record, and why the crime may not be discovered for
weeks or even months. As your interview guest, King
will also reveal how to identify and address
your financial vulnerabilities before it’s too late.
She’ll explore: How embezzlers hack into online info…
The first signs of tampering… How your checking
account is at risk… What it takes to
protect the QuickBooks® programs that help you run your
business… Even what happens if your employees are in
on the scam. Contact Ruth King at (770) 729-8000;

10. ==> Stop Blaming Social Media for Kids’ Problems

Whether it’s Facebook, Instagram or SnapChat, social
media has a firm hold on Americans, and kids and young
adults in particular. And with rising rates of
depression and suicide among the same group,
many wonder if there’s a connection. Joffre McClung
says there is, but it’s not the root of the problem.
“The issue isn’t so much the social media itself, it’s

11. ==> Are Life Insurance Companies Committing Elder
Abuse?

Most people buy insurance from a friendly agent at a
specific time and for a specific purpose… but did you
know that 90% of all policies lapse before maturity? Or
that when you don’t need your policy any
longer you could sell it? For cash? Chances are you
have no idea the hidden cash value of your policy… or
that you are paying more than you should for the policy
you have.
Interview David Kottler, the Insurance Doctor ™, about
these and other best kept secrets that insurance
companies don’t want you to know! He can explain what
you need to ask to figure out exactly what

12. ==> Sept. is Pain Awareness Month – Opioid
Alternatives

100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain. The
opioid crisis, which started with the overuse of
prescription painkillers, continues to escalate and as
a result many chronic pain patients are losing
access to the opioids they’ve depended on for decades.
September is an opportune time to focus on this issue.
Chronic pain expert Cindy Perlin is available to
discuss safe and effective alternative pain
treatments. Perlin is a Licensed Clinical Social
Worker, certified biofeedback practitioner and chronic
pain survivor. She is the author of “The Truth About
Chronic Pain Treatments: The Best and Worst

13. ==> Feed These Foods to Your Kids for Higher Grades

If you want your kids to get good grades, pay attention
to what you feed them, says Adita Lang, a parent who
lectures on nutrition at the university level. For
example, she’ll explain why you don’t want
your kids to eat mac ’n’ cheese for lunch but a pancake
breakfast is a great idea as long as it contains the
secret ingredient she’ll reveal. You’ll also learn why
black grapes are better than green
grapes and other tips worth knowing. Adita says, “The
average parent does not know how to feed their
children!” She knows parents are busy and easily
tempted to grab convenience foods for family
meals—including kids’ lunches. But, as she’ll point
out, food is fuel and when you feed your school
children the right foods they’ll benefit from better
brain development, focus, clarity and stronger
immune systems; what parent doesn’t want that? During
30 years in the wellness industry, Adita has worked
with thousands of individuals and been quoted in
Fitness and Shape. Adita is the author of
“SuperPowers, A Busy Woman’s Guide to Health and
Happiness.” Reach her at (305) 794-6505;

14. ==> Thanks Selena: Artists Shine Light in the
Darkness

Some artists, like Selena Gomez, are open about their
health battles. The actress has spoken about struggling
with lupus but many artists shy away from revealing
their personal health struggles. Pop
singer/songwriter Lisa Sniderman (Aoede) applauds
Selena’s honesty and using her notoriety to help
educate and raise awareness about chronic illness. She
says sharing your journey is powerful—and
healing–for you and others who are struggling. Lisa
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
creativity was her path to healing. She’s collaborated
with more than 50 artists, musicians, and authors who
have turned to creativity to heal and will share their
stories during her live/streaming event
‘Lights in the Darkness-Creating to Heal’ this
December. Lisa says, “My vision is to share how we’ve
become lights for others through our stories and art,
focused on the art of healing.” Lisa has been

16. ==> What This Divorced Pastor Learned About Staying
Married

When Pastor Eric Hawthorne’s wife asked him for a
divorce, he was stunned, because he thought he was a
good husband. He later learned that he was perhaps too
good. “The biggest mistake is that I am an
easy going person and like nothing but peace,” he says.
“If we had disagreements, as opposed to standing my
ground and letting her know how I felt, I would be
quiet to keep the peace. This was the worst
thing I could have done.” The single dad to two boys
aged 10 and 12 learned his lesson the hard way. Now, he
teaches couples on the brink of matrimony how to avoid
his mistakes to forge loving bonds of
respect that lead to successful marriages. Eric
Hawthorne is the second-generation pastor of Daystar
Deliverance Ministries in Richardson, Texas, and the
author of the upcoming book “Are You Ready for
Marriage?” Contact him at hiitselh@yahoo.com, or (972)

17. ==> Sept. is Suicide Prevention Month – How to Keep
Your Kid from Killing Himself

According to USA Today the teen suicide rate is
soaring. What can parents do to keep their kids safe?
How can they keep their worst nightmare from happening?
“Kids are really good at hiding things… they
hide their depression because they don’t want to be
‘the downer.’ They hide the signs that they are in
trouble… they don’t want you to know.” says Jennifer
Cochern, LCPC. How’s a parent supposed to know
if their kid is in trouble? Being sulky and silent,
depressed and anxious… isn’t that what the teen years
are supposed to be like? In her practice, Cochern
unravels the mystery of teen suicide – helping
kids and parents understand themselves and each other.
She will give your audience tips on what to look for
and also what THEY need to do NOW to keep their kids
safe. Jennifer Cochern, LCPC is a
counselor and the author of “Alignment: Move from
Internal Chaos to Clarity.” She has worked with
hundreds of clients promoting personal growth and
healthier relationship skills. Contact her at (208)

18. ==> Your Child’s Dreams Are Ruined

Your children are back in school, so what happens when
the things they want to be when they grow up aren’t
such good choices anymore? The girls who want to play
sports and go into media may get harassed
or assaulted in the workplace. As much as parents hate
to think of a future like this, it seems we are living
in a generation struggling for justice. We teach our
children to speak up when things are
wrong, but in Serena Williams case, her voice caused
her a penalty and an uproar within the media. A woman
accusing Judge Brett Kavanaugh of assault dating back
to when they were in high school is
finally speaking up but will anyone listen? As much as
we think schools and workplaces are safe now, not much
has changed. So what do we do? Nita Wiggins can speak
on discrimination and harassment in
schools and in the workplaces. Contact her to hear more
about the solutions she found, while living in the U.S.
and now Paris, France. Her contact is

the cold weather brings many pains, aches to the
joints, eye strain, and for many, emotional

natural herbs for healing. But even after using and
trying different methods, the pain is still
there. So when all fails, why not try something that

20. ==> Laugh Your Way to Success

While growing up in a poor farm family in rural South
Carolina, life was far from amusing for Jane Jenkins
Herlong. Her high school dropout tenant farmer dad
struggled to make ends meet; she was
relentlessly teased for being homely; she was rejected
by numerous colleges; and told that she’d never amount
to anything. She also endured mental and verbal abuse,
and loved ones with addiction and
mental illness. But she managed to become a Miss
America contestant, a best-selling author, popular
humorist, gifted singer and sought after speaker who
was inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame. She
credits her humor for her success. “I literally laughed
my way to ‘mental wealth!'” She can reveal how anyone
can use humor to overcome life’s darkest moments. Jane

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

1. ==> Hurricane Florence – What to Do Now, During &
After

Hurricane Florence is supposed to come roaring up to
the coast Thursday night and then linger over the area
before heading inland. It’s bad news for the region and
could cause more destruction than previously thought
with whipping winds and torrential rains. Dr. James
Hubbard, aka The Survival Doctor, will share tips on
how to deal with an extended power outage and ways to
treat wounds and injuries when a doctor is out of
reach. He says even though a storm has passed, the
dangers linger. “Clean water is a huge concern. Even
though the water may look clean, it’s a cesspool of
germs and chemicals that can cause anything from a rash
to an infection—on the skin or internally.
Electrocution is a danger whenever there’s flooding,
and then there’s the issue of mosquitoes.” Dr. Hubbard
is a long-time family physician and survival medicine
expert. He shares his common-sense health advice on
dozens of radio shows, podcasts and blogs nationwide,
teaches easy-to-follow, makeshift ways to survive
disasters and in the wild, and is the author of several
books including “The Survival Doctor’s Complete
Handbook: What to Do When Help Is NOT on the Way.”

2. ==> Yes, You Should Evacuate: How to Get People to
Go

Mandatory evacuations have been issued in parts of
three states as Florence makes its way toward the
Carolina coast. And although many residents have
already fled or are preparing to leave, some people
will ultimately stay put. Against the advice of
authorities, these folks will try to weather the
whopper storm. Hilary Bergsieker, an assistant
professor of psychology at University of Waterloo, has
interviewed many hurricane survivors in her research.
“Survivors often mention staying put to help friends
and family, worrying that fleeing without these people
would mean abandoning them,” Bergsieker said. “To
encourage people to evacuate to safety, emphasize that
their loved ones want them to be safe and survive, even
if it means leaving home for a short while. In this
sense, escaping to safety is an act of loyalty and
enacting the hopes others have for you.” Contact her at

3. ==>After the Hurricane Comes the Scam Artists

Hurricane and natural disasters invite scams! Be
prepared not only for the storm, but also for the
aftermath that might invite unscrupulous home repair
people. William Francavilla says thieves know their
victims’ vulnerabilities and seek opportunities to
steal their money. Invite William Francavilla to share
what you can do to avoid being ripped off in a storm-
related repair. Francavilla is the author of “The
Madoffs Among Us, Combat the Scammers, Con Artists and
Thieves Who Are Plotting to Steal your Money.” He’s a
CFP and former senior vice president, director of
Wealth Management for Legg Mason who has extensive
media experience. Contact him at (757) 870-4590;

4. ==> After Moonves- How CBS Culture Needs to Change

CBS CEO and chairman Les Moonves has stepped down amid
sexual misconduct allegations and the board is
conducting an ongoing independent investigation, but S.
Chris Edmonds says CBS can and should change its
workplace culture immediately. He’ll discuss how fear,
intimidation, verbal abuse, belittling, and humiliation
are very present in most workplaces around the globe
today, why the details of workplace culture matter, and
how companies can create and use an Organizational
Constitution. S. Chris Edmonds is the founder and CEO
of The Purposeful Culture Group. a speaker, author, and
executive consultant who served as a senior consultant
with The Ken Blanchard Companies since 1995. Contact

5. ==> With Trump in Crisis, Pence Waits in the Shadows

As crisis after crisis hits the Trump White House,
Michael D’Antonio says there’s one person in particular
who would gain from Trump’s departure—Mike Pence. “The
grave possibility of a crisis that ends the scandal-
scarred Trump presidency could explain the vice
president’s remarkable record of praising the chaotic
commander-in-chief while making himself scarce at
moments of crisis.” He adds, “Between his sycophancy,
which moved George Will to say that Pence could be
‘America’s most repulsive figure,’ and his widely noted
absences, Pence has established a record that would
make him blameless but also acceptable as a successor.
In the role of loyal but often absent vice president,
Pence has retained the support of the Trump base, which
means there would be no great uprising if he assumes
the presidency. Calm would prevail and no proof would
be found linking him to the Resistance.” Michael
D’Antonio is a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and CNN
commentator. He’s the author of several books including
the “The Shadow President: The Truth about Vice
President Mike Pence” and “The Truth about Trump.”

6. ==> HBO’s The Deuce- Meets the Princess of 42nd
Street

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

7. ==> What to Do in September So You Won’t Get Flu in
October

Why does each flu season feel worse than the year
before? “That’s because it is!” says Mylaine Riobe, MD,
FACOG – an integrative medicine doctor who has spent
years treating her patients using a unique blend of
functional and traditional Chinese medicine. This last
flu season killed the most children in five years and
had a second wave hitting us late. Find out why
unnaturally tinkering with our immune systems by
creating a “universal flu shot” would be a grave
mistake. “The flu shot is actually making our immune
systems weaker and more vulnerable for the next flu
season… which is why I build up my patients’ immune
systems from the beginning!” Let your audience ask Dr.
Riobe about all things flu related BEFORE the season
starts… they can prepare now! Dr. Riobe is the author
of “The Tao of Integrative Medicine.” She is a dynamic
progressive integrative medical doctor with over 15
years of experience. Dr. Mylaine Riobe at (772)

8. ==> Why I Forgave a Supervisor Who Tried to Kill Me!

When people go to work the last thing they expect is to
be physically and verbally assaulted by their
department administrator. Particularly over a
correctable mistake, in this case, a statistical error.
But that is what happened to Sharon Bahrych (pronounced
Bear-rich). Working as a physician’s assistant at a
teaching hospital, Sharon acknowledged making a
mathematical mistake on a grant application she had
filed, only to have her colleague Beth become instantly
enraged and scream at her as she was beginning to
asphyxiate her. Perhaps even more remarkable, Sharon
was able to forgive Beth, who never apologized. She was
eventually able to figure out what motivated Beth to go
ballistic. Sharon can talk about what she learned about
forgiveness—a message she believes could help others
who have endured domestic abuse, gang violence,
workplace bullying and workplace violence. Sharon is a
physician’s assistant who trained at Baylor College of
Medicine. She has a master’s in public health from the
University of Texas School of Public Health. She is the
author of “Practical Disciplines of a Christian Life.”

9. ==> 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.”
Contact him at Raleigh@lmpgnetwork.org or (917)
952-5845.

10. ==> In the Age of Selfies, Do People Still Collect
Autographs?

Steve Long, CEO of Phamous Pholks Furniture Art
Pillows, has met Richard Nixon, Spiro Agnew, Buzz
Aldrin, Brian Wilson, Tony Curtis and other famous
people and has their autographs to prove it—along with
the stories of how he obtained them. For a fun segment,
have Steve discuss why even today, the actual
signatures of famous people still have value. Steve can
share details about some of his rare autographs,
including Charlie Chaplin, John Glenn and Sally Ride,
as well as reveal whose signatures draw the most money
from collectors. He can also talk about why people love
celebrities so much, why they identify with them so
closely and why autograph collecting is far from dead.
His company produces full-size art pillows with
anybody’s image on them. Including celebrities. Reach
him at (520) 358-2871; steve@phamouspholks.com

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

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

13. ==> Feed These Foods to Your Kids for Higher Grades

If you want your kids to get good grades, pay attention
to what you feed them, says Adita Lang, a parent who
lectures on nutrition at the university level. For
example, she’ll explain why you don’t want your kids to
eat mac ’n’ cheese for lunch but a pancake breakfast is
a great idea as long as it contains the secret
ingredient she’ll reveal. You’ll also learn why black
grapes are better than green grapes and other tips
worth knowing. Adita says, “The average parent does not
know how to feed their children!” She knows parents are
busy and easily tempted to grab convenience foods for
family meals—including kids’ lunches. But, as she’ll
point out, food is fuel and when you feed your school
children the right foods they’ll benefit from better
brain development, focus, clarity and stronger immune
systems; what parent doesn’t want that? During 30 years
in the wellness industry, Adita has worked with
thousands of individuals and been quoted in Fitness and
Shape. Adita is the author of “SuperPowers, A Busy
Woman’s Guide to Health and Happiness.” Reach her at
(305) 794-6505; info@AditaLang.com

14. ==> Explore What’s Wrong with America’s Health
Delivery System

The industry of medicine, including insurance
companies, Big Pharma, and a medical corporate
structure that appears driven more by profits than
patient consideration, represent a significant problem
in our health care delivery. Doctors are growing
frustrated to the point of leaving the profession.
Nurses and ancillary teams are drowning in over-
documentation and have less time for patient care.
Invite Michael J. Young, M.D., to discuss his
experience with the challenges to our health care
delivery system gone awry. A practicing physician for
three decades, and author of The Illness of Medicine,
Dr. Young will offer insights for both patients and
health care professionals. Sample questions: Does
America need a single payer system to fix it’s broken
health care system? Who is most to blame for our
problems? What could Congress enact to fix the system
or is it unfixable? How does our health care compare
with other industrialized countries? Contact William
Dorich at (310) 923-2157; gmbooks@icloud.com

15. ==> Become a Better Leader by Sitting on the Toilet

Comedian and life coach Jen Coken thinks a lot of
business advice is too dry so she’s lightening things
up. The author of “Embrace the Ridiculousness of Life:
A Pocket Guide to Being a Better You” will explain how
listeners can “let go” while they are, actually, ahem,
letting go. She’ll dispense 12 easily digestible
lessons leaders can quickly apply to their lives. In
other words, the type of reading that one might do in
the bathroom while “taking care of business.” As Coken
likes to say, “We all need seven to eight hours of
delicious sleep and a good morning poop to be right for
the day. This 70-page book can be read in one single
flush; it will give you a new ability to manage your
staff, ask for a raise or go to work with a new
attitude.” She’ll discuss setting goals, avoiding burn-
out and how to get out of tough conversations among
other issues. Jen Coken has coached more than 10,000
clients over the past 20 years. Contact her at (303)

16. ==> Interview ‘The Decision Doctor’

Have you ever had to make a tough decision? Like
whether to leave a job? Get out of a relationship? Or
what medical treatment to pursue? It can leave you
feeling scared, lonely, and frozen with fear. Terrie
Novak is an expert at decision-making… or “choice-
making” as she likes to call it. As a systems analyst,
she does it every day at work for her customers. So,
when she was faced with a scary diagnosis and an even
scarier treatment option, she decided (after freaking
out) to apply what she does at work to help her make
some important decisions. Terrie will share her
powerful story with your audience and explain how her
six-step decision making process makes any decision
easier to make. Terrie Novak works in software
engineering as a systems analyst. Her unique framework
for “choice-making” can be applied to decisions of any
kind. Her book, “Hypothesis: An HPV Healing
Experiment,” outlines a six-step process she created to
help heal herself. Contact Terrie at (503) 707-4750;

17. ==> What Was It Like to Date a Real-Life James
Bond?

John thought he was 007. When Patti Houtz started to
date him, he worked undercover for the DEA in Miami.
Those dates turned into incredible adventures—and
danger soon followed. Patti can talk about her
escapades with John and the unbelievable criminals she
met. Carrying a large 9mm handgun was routine and while
other couples went to the movies, Patti and John were
actually living their own movie, just like in Tom
Cruise’s new flick, “American Made.” The duo got
involved in everything from busting drug dealers to
searching for the Sasquatch. Patti has sensational
stories to share of the time she risked her life for
love; the stories are contained in her new memoir “Solo
by Choice.” Reach Patti at (775) 376-1676;

18. ==> Sept. is National Recovery Month: Does AA Work?

Did you know that 1 out of every 3 people suffer from
addiction? That means we all know someone dealing with
this potentially fatal disease. According to Michael
McGee, MD the key to recovery is to be grateful for the
addiction. “There is something ‘right’ about addiction,
even though it devastates people’s lives.”
Dr. McGee will share how understanding why people want
and need to make themselves feel better – if only for a
short time – is the key to recovery. He can talk about
his unique Touchstone Approach to recovery from
addiction and why it works better than AA for many
people. Dr. Michael McGee trained at Stanford and
Harvard Medical Schools. For over 30 years he has
helped hundreds of patients beat their addictions to go
on and lead joyful, loving, and purpose-filled lives.
He is the author of “The Joy of Recovery: A Guide to
Healing from Addiction.” Contact Dr. McGee at (978)

19. ==> Why Donald’s Trump Third Marriage Will End,
Badly

Thrice-married Donald Trump has already experienced two
embarrassing divorces. Pastor and Christian marriage
counselor Rev. George Sukhdeo believes that Trump’s
marriage to Melania is also doomed. ‘Trump’s marriage
is not going to end well; his wife will leave him,”
Rev. George says. “He doesn’t have a concept of
marriage. He doesn’t treat women with respect, and
esteem them for who they are.” Rev. George should know.
He’s been married to his wife, Shirley, for 46 years,
and has counseled more than 500 troubled couples, with
an 85 percent success rate. Rev. George is an ordained
minister with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. He
received a Master of Ministry in Christian Counseling
degree and a B.A. in theology from Christian Bible
College of Rocky Mount, N.C. He has 34 years of

20. ==> Why Science and Faith Are Not Mutually
Exclusive

While science and religion have long been considered
mutually exclusive, David L. Peters credits both for
his good fortune in business and his personal life. At
84, he has achieved great prominence in his career as
an engineer, holds 18 patents, raised seven great kids
and has enjoyed a loving marriage of 57 years. In
addition, he has just become a first-time author of a
well-received book that reveals the secrets to success
and happiness. “My faith comes through science, as I
firmly believe that quantum physics has proven the
existence of a power or force beyond all,” he says.
David has accomplished this by applying the 12 Steps of
Alcoholic Anonymous to his daily life, which he says
can help anyone, even if they never touched liquor or
drugs. He can share simple but powerful ways how others
can, too. David L. Peters is the author of “The 12
Steps to Joy and Happiness: Finding the Kingdom of God
that Lies Within.” Contact him at davep434@gmail.com or

04. Don’t Forget Grandma and Grandpa on Sunday

=======================================
1. ==> The Pageant is Sunday – Is Gretchen Carlson
Ruining Miss America?

Late long-time Miss America Chairman Al Marks often
said that Miss America is the “girl next door,” the
all-American young woman who becomes America’s
Sweetheart overnight. “Al would roll over in his grave
to see how the Miss America Pageant has become about
the agendas of one person in leadership, rather than
focusing on the building of women into leaders,” says
former Miss South Carolina Jane Jenkins Herlong.
“Sadly, (former Miss America and current Miss America
Chairwoman) Gretchen Carlson is using the very program
that helped launch her career to launch another agenda:
The #MeMeMeMeToo movement, which is about the agenda of
one person, rather than the good of many.” Jane is the
best-selling author of four books including Indie Book
Award-winning “Rhinestones on My Flip-Flops.” She is a
popular speaker who was inducted into the Speaker Hall
of Fame, and a gifted singer who has recorded music CDs

2. ==> It’s Time for Football! Interview Real-Life NFL
Star of ‘Invincible’

Remember the movie ‘Invincible’ staring Mark Wahlberg?
It’s the story of Vince Papale, a 30-year-old teacher
who’d never played a down of college ball but was given
a shot to try out for the Philadelphia Eagles as a
publicity stunt. Incredibly, Vince made the squad and
went on to become a key part of the team. What does it
actually take to make the cut? Why not ask Vince to
share his incredible but true “Rocky Balboa-like” story
with your audience? You may also interview another
“Invincible” former NFL player, Dennis Franks. Dennis

death. I fear not living.” David is an Emmy-award
winner who has flown over a thousand missions to
capture breath-taking, airborne images for shows like

4. ==> Grandparents Day is Sunday – Here’s an Example
of Super Grandparenting

In virtually every family, grandparents play an
important role in preparing their family’s younger
generations for happier and more successful life. But
sometimes “super” grandparenting is in order. In honor
of international Grandparents Day, and year-round, your
audience will be truly inspired by Dr. Oliver Akamnonu
and his wife. Explore with them on-air: what happened
when their daughter, Nena, discovered her first
pregnancy while in medical school (the baby’s father
was thousands of miles away)… how the Akamnonu couple
left their high powered careers to care for baby Lydia
when she was born, so Nena could continue med
studies… 6 things, other than financial support and
child care, that super grandparents can do to help
their extended family… how super grandparenting can
improve family health, education, income, relationships

1. ==> Will Swamp Slime Envelop Trump?

Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort,
was convicted on eight counts of financial crimes
Tuesday, while ex-Trump lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen
pleaded guilty to eight criminal counts and admitted in
court that he committed some of these crimes “in
coordination and at the direction of a candidate for
federal office.” Biographer Michael D’Antonio says,
“The culture of corruption that has enveloped Trump for
years, in his serial bankruptcies and shady dealings
and scandals like Trump University, now has a criminal
quality affirmed in two federal courts. This is what
Trump does, this is the company he keeps, and these are
the practices now closing in on him.” And what about
Trump’s hint that he may pardon Cohen or Manafort?
D’Antonio says, “This type of meddling, unheard of
where Presidents are concerned, is the essence of the
swamp. Trump already has the stink of it on him and
it’s not going to go away.” Michael D’Antonio is a
Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and CNN commentator. He’s
the author of several books including the “The Truth
about Trump” and the upcoming “The Shadow President:
The Truth about Vice President Mike Pence.” Contact him

2. ==> Will Democrats Get Rid of Superdelegates?

The Democratic National Committee is in Chicago this
week, 50 years after the gavel fell at the disastrous
1968 Democratic National Convention in that city. On
the DNC’s agenda is a decisive vote on what to do about
the party’s “superdelegates.” In an article for
HuffPost, Norman Solomon writes: “The schedulers for
this coming week’s Democratic National Committee
meeting either have a sly sense of irony or a touch of
historical amnesia. Solomon notes that “much of the
mayhem in the streets and the angry dissent inside the
amphitheater a half-century ago stemmed from the well-
grounded belief that the Democratic establishment had
rigged the nominating process for its candidate, Vice
President Hubert Humphrey.” Drawing a parallel with
present-day concerns about unfairness in the party’s
presidential nominating process, Solomon writes:
“Widely unpopular at the grassroots, the superdelegate
system remains a burr in the donkey’s saddle,
threatening to further undermine party unity in the
quest to regain the White House.” Solomon is executive
director of the Institute for Public Accuracy, co-
founder of RootsAction.org and coauthor of “Autopsy:
The Democratic Party in Crisis.” He is in Chicago
through Saturday. Contact him at

3. ==> Ask These Former NFL Players How to Make the Cut
in Football and in Life

Remember that movie ‘Invincible’ staring Mark Wahlberg?
It was the story of Vince Papale, a real-life Rocky-
type, who was given a shot to try out for the
Philadelphia Eagles and made the team. This August,
NFL teams are cutting dozens of players, but what does
it actually take to make the cut? Interview Vince
and/or another “Invincible” former Philadelphia Eagle,
Dennis Franks on what it really takes to succeed in the
NFL or anything else. Vince and Dennis have many
obstacles to achieve great success in business after
football. An iconic photo of them both laughing on the
sidelines hangs in the Football Hall of Fame. They are
authors of “The Last Laugh: From Vision to Victory” and
will share a 7-step process for setting and achieving
any goal. They’ll enthrall you with real stories of the
gridiron. Contact Nancy Franks at (336) 420-1507;
nancyfranks@gmail.com

4. ==> ‘Beautifully Broken’: Interview Actor Benjamin
Onyango

The new film Beautifully Broken opens tomorrow, and
already the movie is getting huge buzz. It tells the
story of three fathers across the globe whose lives
converge as they fight to save their families. Kenyan-
born actor Benjamin Onyango stars as the real-life
William Mwizerwa, a Rwandan businessman who protected
his family during the genocide against Tutsi where
nearly one million people were killed. Benjamin can
discuss the new film and his role as Mwizerwa, who
successfully escaped Rwanda with his family and now
helps the refugee community as a teacher, minister and
counselor in Tennessee. Benjamin Onyango has appeared
in films such as God’s Not Dead and Tears of the Sun.

5. ==> The History of Punk Rock Behind the Iron Curtain

Long before the Berlin Wall came down, social
discontent and a shared fear of nuclear annihilation
among the young on both sides had already galvanized a
generation of resisters. The end of a divided Germany
actually came from within, fueled in part by punk rock.
Renowned music journalist and German-language
translator Tim Mohr will share the little-known story
of a group of East German kids who rebelled and helped
set the world on fire. Hear how punk rock became a
secret but powerful tonic—the rallying point of an East
German youth revolution and the soundtrack to a
history-changing uprising. Tim Mohr is a literary
translator who also collaborated on memoirs by
musicians Gil Scott-Heron, Duff McKagan of Guns N’
Roses, and Paul Stanley of KISS. He spent several years
as a staff editor at Playboy magazine, where he edited
Hunter S. Thompson, John Dean, Harvey Pekar, and many
others. Prior to starting his writing career, he earned
his living as a club DJ in Berlin. His new book is
“Burning Down the Haus: Punk Rock, Revolution, and the
Fall of the Berlin Wall.” Contact Johanna Ramos-Boyer

6. ==> Take the Anxiety Out of Back-to-School

As the clock ticks toward the start of another school
year kids are getting anxious about heading back to the
classroom and parents are stressed out thinking about
homework battles and busy family schedules ahead.
Whether your kid procrastinates on assignments, is
anxious over their appearance, or is afraid to try out
for the school play or sports team, anxiety buster
Mariann Adams says you may be handling their anxieties-
and yours-all wrong. “Most people experience anxiety at
some point, and kids are no exception. But there’s no
such thing as performance anxiety! In fact, there’s no
such thing as test, homework, sports, business or even
appearance anxiety, and thinking there is causes big
problems! All these things are really ‘outcome anxiety’
and it comes from being unsure-of-coming-out-okay.” She
adds, “Parents and kids tackle anxiety by trying to get
rid of fear, but the real solution is to build core
strength, and once you know how, fear melts away
automatically.” Mariann Adams has done extensive
research on the psychological, physiological,
neurological, and interpersonal aspects of anxiety
elimination. She is the author of “Boost Core Power and
Bust Anxiety” and “The Core Power Pro-Launch Pad.”

7. ==> Should You Consider Homeschooling?

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

8. ==> How the Wrong Breakfast Can Ruin Back-to-School

It’s Back-to-School time and you want your kids to do
well. But without even knowing it, you may be
sabotaging their success. Find out how by interviewing
Gillian Padgett. For example, she’ll explain how it’s
nearly impossible for kids to absorb information when
they don’t eat a nutritious breakfast—and that does not
include “chocolate frosted sugar bombs.” In addition to
interfering with their concentration, the wrong
breakfast foods can make children moody, tearful and
even aggressive. Gillian can also talk about how to get
your students to do their homework without nagging them
and how to limit the negative effects of social media.
She trained in the UK as a psychotherapist and
hypnotherapist and is the author of “Let Stress Heal
Your Life.” Reach her at (647) 270-7602;

11. ==> This M.D. Tells How Conventional Medicine Has
to Change

Practitioners of Eastern medicine have long known that
there is a strong connection between our emotions and
our physical health, or lack thereof. However, most
Western medical professionals often ignore the whole
person when treating disease. According to Steven M.
Hall, M.D., this is a huge mistake. “Western doctors
are trained to treat disease,” he says. “So they treat
people as mechanical objects. Mind and body are not
separate but are integrated units, and both must be
considered when seeking the causes and cures for
disease.” Although trained in conventional Western
medicine, Dr. Steve began including alternative
treatments into his practice to achieve the next level
of healing to treat the causes as well of symptoms of
disease, with dramatic results. He explores this and
other insights into health care in his book “The 7
Tools of Healing: Unlock Your Inner Wisdom and Live the
Life Your Soul Desires.” Contact him at (425) 531-3684.

12. ==> Sept. 4th Is Anniv. of Joan Rivers’ Death – Do
a Show on Medical Errors

Joan Rivers died Sept. 4, 2014, at age 81. The
comedian’s death came days after undergoing a routine
procedure in Manhattan. Her death stunned the world…
but unfortunately, it’s not all that uncommon for
people to die needlessly during routine procedures in
surgicenters across the US. Why do medical errors
leading to deaths continue to rise in this country?
Interview Dr. Ira Williams who will tell you why paying
for health care isn’t the real problem… it’s the
delivery system that’s broken! At 85 years young, Dr.
Ira Williams has been hounding the five Federal
Agencies created to solve the health care crisis in
this country for decades. With over 130 years
collectively between those agencies our health care
system is still a mess. 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 him at
(864) 676-1420; drirawilliams@gmail.com

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

We have all heard how you can save money, time,
property and possessions by being more organized. But
wise vs. lackluster organization habits can even extend
your life! That’s the message of RN/APRN (nurse
practitioner) and author Anne McAwley-LeDuc, who is
creating a new movement for maintaining personal health
history — a life-saving practice! With the release of
her critically acclaimed workbook “Personal Health
Organizer: Record Your Medical and Dental History,
Birth Through Life,” Anne is helping people keep their
health records, including: medical conditions,
surgeries, childhood health history, orthopedic
history, immunizations, allergies, dental procedures
and much more. After all, it’s so easy to forget key
health facts, to your peril, especially with our busy
lives that often involve travel, moving, and
establishing relationships with new
doctors/clinics/hospitals. Invite Anne to discuss her
strategies for staying “in the know” about your health
journey. Contact her at (860) 642-1786;

14. ==> His Wife Beat Cancer by Avoiding Sugar

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
(702) 533-6667.

15. ==> Is Your Nail Salon Tech a Victim of Human
Trafficking?

Most people know about human trafficking as it applies
to prostitution. But not all victims of this epidemic
human rights abuse are forced to be sex workers, and a
lot of them are already in this country. “They could be
a nail salon worker who is an undocumented immigrant
from Queens, a construction worker or someone who was
trafficked to be a nanny,” says Raleigh Sadler, a
Christian reverend and founder and executive director
of the New York-based non-profit Let My People Go.
“Traffickers do not care about your immigration status;
they exploit vulnerable people.” Raleigh founded the
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.”

16. ==> Are You Making Yourself Broke?

When you’re broke it’s easy to blame your low-paying
job and endless bills, but are those the real causes of
your empty bank account? Could the reason you’re broke
actually be your own fault? Invite Arnoux Goran,
author, speaker, and the world’s #1 expert in personal
transformation to reveal the truth behind why you’re
broke and how to start making money and live a happier
life. His successful method to reprogram yourself has

and shown dramatic results. His forthcoming book, “The
Answer: How to Change Your Life and Make Your Dreams
Come True”, reveals how to release negative emotions
permanently and truly change your life by addressing
the cause of repeating patterns. Goran has been
featured on radio and television. Contact him at (877)

17. ==> Become a Better Leader by Sitting on the Toilet

18. ==> Music to the Ears of People Who Hate Time
Management

Most people’s workdays are filled with chaos. They wish
they could get more done, but interruptions and their
own disorganization get in the way. Executive coach and
business mentor Jonathan Denn will lay out a unique
approach for accomplishing more that uses music as a
metaphor. He’ll explain how to divide the day into
“sessions” or “sets” the way a musician would. He’ll
offer quick productivity tips and discuss how to find
two hours of additional free time in each day and how
to use jam sessions to have better face-to-face
meetings, phone calls or create more effective emails.
Jonathan Denn spent several decades as a hotel chain
CEO, business coach, leadership development trainer and
mentor. His articles often appear in Forbes and
Fortune. His book is “Drumbeat Business Productivity
Playbook: How to BEAT Goals and Disorganization.”

19. ==> Is He Crazy to Predict Jerusalem’s Destruction?

Jerusalem is a holy city for Christians, Moslems, and
Jews, all of whom depend on its existence. But,
according to Bible scholar Richard Ruhling, M.D., the
city is in imminent danger. As the author of the new
bestselling book “The Destruction of Jerusalem,” he
will lay out three reasons why Jerusalem’s very
existence is now imperiled—a topic that is timely
because yesterday marked the Historic Jewish Day of
Calamity commemorating when the second Jewish temple
burned in 70 AD. When events in the news confirm that
Dr. Ruhling is right, please contact him to schedule an
interview. He’s an experienced talk show guest. Reach
him at (928) 583-7543; Ruhling7@juno.com

20. ==> How to Stay Married for Life

Half of all marriages in Western society end in
divorce. So how have pastor and Christian marriage
counselor Rev. George Sukhdeo and his wife, Shirley,
managed to remain happily married for 46 years? “We
have experienced almost every challenge couples face in
a marriage,” he says. “A marriage with Christ at its
center is much more than having someone to do the
dishes after dinner, take care of you when you’re sick,
or help you make the car payment every month.” Rev.
George is an ordained minister with the Pentecostal
Assemblies of Canada. He received a Master of Ministry
in Christian Counseling degree and a B.A. in theology
from Christian Bible College of Rocky Mount, N.C. He
has 34 years of experience in Christian ministries as a

=======================================
1. ==> NFL Kneelers: Get Specific, What are You
Protesting?

Frank Miniter says what is really disappointing about
the NFL players’ kneeling debate is that it has split
along lines of patriotism versus the right to protest.
He says instead of kneeling in protest, players should
use their platform to bring attention to specific
issues. “(Colin) Kaepernick says players are protesting
‘systemic oppression.’ OK, but please give us some
specifics. A lot of people, including me, would like
some details about this “systemic oppression” and would
like to hear proposals on how to end it. I think all
Americans would welcome hearing answers from players
that we could discuss as a nation and that candidates
running for political office could debate.” Frank
Miniter is an investigative journalist and the author
of several books including “The Ultimate Man’s Survival
Guide—Recovering the Lost Art of Manhood.” Miniter is
a contributor to Forbes and has appeared on FOX News,
NewsmaxTV’s America’s Forum, the Christian Broadcast
Network and other media outlets. Contact him at
FrankMiniter@yahoo.com

2. ==> Diane Dimond on Discovery’s ‘Pamela Smart’

In 1990, 22-year-old Pamela Smart found her husband
dead in their New Hampshire condo. In a story that
inspired the Hollywood film ‘To Die For’ starring
Nicole Kidman, it was later revealed that Pamela
conspired with her teenage lover and his friends to
kill her husband. The trial would become the first
nationally televised courtroom case, transfixing the
nation with details about the scandalous murder, tawdry
affair and teenage assassins. In a special 3-night TV
event beginning August 19th, Investigation Discovery
looks back at one of the most notorious crimes of the
century in ‘Pamela Smart: An American Murder Mystery.’
Interview Diane Dimond, one of the experts featured in
the series. Diane is an investigative journalist and TV
news mainstay who covered the Pamela Smart case for
Newsweek and The Daily Beast. She can weigh in with her
thoughts on the murder case and trial and any new
details uncovered in this documentary series. Contact
John Angelo at john@premieretv.com.

3. ==> Warning – Another Dangerous Internet Challenge

It would seem there’s no end to the one-upmanship
concerning viral trends and dares. The latest social
media craze, called Dragon Breath, involves eating a
meringue kiss candy dipped in liquid nitrogen. Many
people have shared videos of them blowing out smoke
from their mouth and nose. Add this to the Momo and the
Kiki Challenge and you wonder how these things get
started. Invite Dr. John Huber to talk about the
challenges, why people do stupid things, and how to
talk to your kids about making good decisions. Dr. John
Huber is a clinical forensic psychologist and the
chairman for Mainstream Mental Health, a non-profit
mental health organization. Dr. Huber has appeared on
hundreds of radio shows and dozens of national
television programs. Contact Ryan McCormick at (516)

4. ==> Just Like the Jetsons – The Flying Car is
Coming!

It sounds like something out of the Jetsons, but did
you know that flying cars are actually here? And that
next year, you’ll be able to buy one? Terrafugia, a
company outside of Boston, has developed a two-seat
auto/aircraft that promises true door-to-door
transportation—and looks straight out of a sci-fi
movie! Terrafugia CEO Chris Jaran says, “We are at the
critical point where we can implement the best design
features based on years of flight and drive testing.
This will improve function, safety and aesthetics for
the optimal flying and driving experience.”
Terrafugia’s first product, the Transition, will enter
the market in 2019 followed by a cargo and passenger
version, currently in development. Terrafugia was
founded in 2006 by five award- winning MIT graduates,
with the mission of creating practical flying cars that
enable a new dimension of personal freedom. Contact

5. ==> The Key to A Happy College Experience

Transitioning to college life can be incredibly
stressful. But there is a way to make the change
easier. Ted Larkins, best-selling author, trainer, and
speaker, developed the Get To Principle, which gives
students the ability to say ‘I get to,’ as opposed to
‘I have to!’ He says, “This simple tool opens the door
and paves the way for better grades, more energy,
better relationships, enhanced decision making and an
improved overall campus experience. Life is a wildcard,
but the ability to live more in the present moment
allows you to live more stress free, be more of a
creator of your life instead of a victim to it.”
Larkins is the author of “Get to Be Happy: Stories and
Secrets to Loving the Sh*t Out of Life.” He is the
former senior VP of one of the world’s leading
entertainment, sport, and brand licensing agencies and
a guest lecturer for the UCLAx Entertainment Studies
and Performing Arts program. Reach him at (818)

6. ==> Back-to-School: Re-Set Your Kid’s Sleep Schedule

As summer wanes and autumn approaches, parents
everywhere ready themselves for the frustration of
trying to get kids out of bed and off to school while
they ready themselves for the workday. Author Dr.
Saundra Dalton-Smith will talk about how adults and
kids can more easily reacclimate themselves from
easygoing summer schedules to the hectic rat race that
begins in the fall. Dr. Saundra will talk about how
parents can help children – and themselves – find a
balance between work, school, and fun, and feel rested
despite increased work hours and commitments. Talk to
Dr. Saundra about the seven different types of rest
that kids and parents need to be happy, healthy, and
productive. Dr. Saundra’s advice and expertise has been
featured in Woman’s Day and Prevention magazines. You

7. ==> Is Sending Your Kids to School without Breakfast
Child Abuse?

8. ==> Lose Weight by Eating More Pizza & Chocolate

Mouth-watering pizza. Rich chocolate. Both top the list
of foods many people can’t stop eating until they’ve
consumed the entire pie or box of candy. But live on
the air, Sora Vernikoff can teach your audience her
simple Green Technique that will allow them to eat all
the pizza and chocolate they want and still lose
weight. Turning conventional wisdom on its ear, she’ll
explain why thinking about food makes you fat—not
eating it—and bad-for-you foods are a myth. Sora, a
former elementary school teacher who lost 25 pounds and
has kept them off for decades, has helped hundreds of
people discover the secret for knowing when to stop
eating. She is the author of the Amazon bestseller “Eat
Want You Want! Stop When You Want!: A No-Diet, Weight-
Loss Program.” This experienced talk show guest spent
more than a decade teaching her program while working
under the auspices of a leading New York City
endocrinologist. She has also taught the program at the

9. ==> Former Miss America Contestant Says New Pageant
is ‘The Death of Excellence’

Former ugly duckling Jane Jenkins Herlong grew up to be
such a lovely swan that she became a Miss America
contestant. And she is not happy with the new version
of the competition, especially the elimination of the
swimsuit contest. “Being physically fit is one of the
standards of excellence,” Jane says. “Our country is
becoming more inclusive to the point of the danger of
complacency. The Miss America Pageant is the latest
target.” Jane can share her fascinating pageant
experiences, and reveal why she thinks that feminists
have it all wrong when it comes to overhauling this 97-
year-old institution. She is the best-selling author of
four books including Indie Book Award-winning
“Rhinestones on My Flip-Flops.” She also is a sought-
after speaker who was inducted into the Speaker Hall of
Fame, a gifted singer who has recorded music CDs, and
humor/personal growth DVDs. As a humorist, her comedy
is featured on Sirius XM 97. Contact her at (803)

10. ==> Talk to the Man Who’s Fireproofing Neverland
Ranch

Why are celebrities getting their homes fireproofed?
You would, too, if your home were literally directly in
the line of fire. Last year, California wildfires
caused $160 billion dollars in damage. Right now, the
largest wildfire in California history is currently
decimating hundreds of thousands of acres. Californian
entrepreneur Jim Moseley has repurposed a fire-proofing
material used by NASA as 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 wildfires of
2017, discuss preparations for the season ahead, and
how he realized the solution to the problem could be
found in existing technology. Featured on the May cover
of Malibu Times magazine, Jim Moseley can be reached at
(818) 486-4662; jim@SunFireDefense.com

11. ==> Develop Your Inner BS Detector!

Fake news. Social media overload. Humans being replaced
by machines in the workforce. No wonder modern people
feel so anxious, angry and disconnected from reality.
Kim Chestney has the simple yet powerful solution:
Intuition! “Intuition is the most important, yet least
understood faculty of human consciousness.” Kim says.
“Getting your ego out of the way and developing your
inner voice is a great BS detector. It can also
facilitate well-being and growth in all aspects of your
life.” Kim has spent 20 years helping tens of thousands
of people to empower their lives and live their truth
with intuition. She can share how anyone can tap into
this innate trait to achieve success in every aspect of
their lives. Kim is an international best-selling
author and artist who founded the popular CREATE!
Festival in Pittsburgh, Pa. Her new Intuition
Masterclass is launching this fall as part of the debut
of her global online school, Intuition Lab. Contact her

12. ==> Why the Best Golf Advice Comes from Bad Golfers

You might think that the best golf advice you could get
would come from a golf pro—and not from a high handicap
golfer. But Andre Huu says you don’t need a low score
to learn life lessons from the game, lessons he
discovered during 20 years of hitting a little white
ball around the links. Using golf as a metaphor for
life, Andre will explain why everyone should play each
round of golf as though it were their last, choosing
enjoyment over a low score. He’ll encourage people to
take risks, view hazards as opportunities and also
share a novel way for people to give their everyday
lives a scorecard. Andre’s book is “The Round of Your
Life.” A former physical therapist, he has a handicap
of 20. Reach him at (832) 418-8860; AndrePT228@aol.com

13. ==> Why Do Hospital Accidental Deaths Receive No
Review?

Dr. Ira Williams has been hounding the five Federal
agencies created to solve the health care crisis in
this country for decades. With over 130 years
collectively between those agencies our health care

14. ==> This M.D. Blows the Whistle on Health Insurance
Companies

While many patients in Western society have discovered
the benefits of combining traditional Western and
alternative healing practices into their treatment
plans, insurance companies still stubbornly refuse to
cover the latter. “They don’t want to pay for
alternative health care, because they consider it
‘experimental’,” says Steven M. Hall, M.D. “However,
every aspect of your life affects your health.
Conventional medicine doesn’t take that into account.”
Nevertheless, Dr. Steve began integrating alternative
healing practices into his patient treatment plans with
dramatic results and can share why medical insurers,
big pharmaceutical companies and many physicians are
trying to deter these practices. Dr. Steven received
his medical degree from University of Utah School of
Medicine and has been practicing family medicine since
1985. He explores his insights into health care in his
book “The 7 Tools of Healing: Unlock Your Inner Wisdom
and Live the Life Your Soul Desires.” Contact him at

16. ==> Why Millennials Will Save the World

The generation born between 1982 and 2000 will
potentially inherit a huge global mess as they enter
their prime. And they will be in a position to save the
world from certain disaster. This enormous demographic
that now comprises more than one quarter of the U.S.
and world populations is more diverse, educated,
technologically advanced and independent-minded than
any previous generation. They also care deeply about
the environment and health of the planet. Author and
environmental engineer Yasmin Davar can provide a step-
by-step guide for these young future movers and shakers
that is simple, yet extremely powerful. She can

17. ==> Interview the Undertaker’s Daughter

For most people, death is the final act of life. But
Margo Lenmark says that death can actually be the start
of a better life for loved ones left behind, which she
discovered while growing up in a Midwestern funeral
home where her dad was an undertaker. She shares her
fascinating experiences and insights in her newly
published book “Light in the Mourning: Memoirs of an
Undertaker’s Daughter.” “A person’s face in death
mirrors their living and their dying,” Margo says.
“This book speaks of both.” 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.” Contact Margo at

18. ==> How the ‘Dad Deficit’ is Harming Society

Pastor Eric Hawthorne, a divorced single dad, claims
that there is a severe “fatherhood deficit” in modern
society. “I see young kids out on the street, doing
drugs because nine times out of 10, their fathers are
absent,” he says. As a dad of two boys aged 10 and 12,
Eric takes an old-fashioned, hands-on approach to
raising his kids. He adds, “I teach them to respect and
how to treat women. I teach them how to be responsible.
Every Saturday, I give them tasks such as cleaning,
doing dishes, making their beds. I also teach them
about responsible money management, and how to provide
for a family. I give them an allowance and teach them
how to save. It’s natural to them. I prepared them from
an early age.” Eric is the second-generation pastor of
Daystar Deliverance Ministries in Richardson, Texas,
and the author of the upcoming book “Are You Ready for
Marriage?” Contact him at (214) 785-7412;

19. ==> This Scientist Can Prove that God Exists

A recent article in Christianity Today states that
while most scientists are not anti-religion, contrary
to popular belief, the majority admittedly doesn’t
believe in God or a deity. But author David L. Peters
is the exception. An engineer by trade, who also
studied quantum physics and cosmology for several
years, David led a Roman Catholic diocesan movement for
many years, leads weekly spiritual groups and is very
active in his church. “From age 4, I was blessed with
the sense of God being ‘there’ throughout my life,”
says David, who is now 84. “Today, my faith comes
through science, as I firmly believe that quantum
physics has proven, to me, the existence of a power or
force behind all.” David further believes that we can
all apply the principles of the 12 Steps of Alcoholics
Anonymous to achieving joy in our everyday lives, which
he explains in his book “The 12 Steps to Joy and
Happiness: Finding the Kingdom of God that Lies
Within.” Contact him at (607) 725-8559;

20. ==> Eulogies: The Self-Help Tool of the Future

Life Coaches and therapists often recommend clients
write a “Bucket List” to help pinpoint what they want
to do before they die. Author, counselor, and
motivational speaker Elizabeth Trinkaus doesn’t have
clients focus on what they hope to do “someday.”
Instead, she has them write a eulogy that highlights
their personal and professional triumphs. A bucket list
emphasizes what you haven’t done, while a eulogy lists
all those achievements you’ve forgotten to acknowledge.
In a time when people measure themselves against
society’s superficial standards, reviewing one’s
successes provides a concrete basis upon which to build
future accomplishments. For more than 25 years,
Elizabeth Trinkaus has helped others overcome the
obstacles that prevent them from fulfilling their
potential. She has worked with professional groups and
individuals alike, and her straightforward, sensible
approach will inspire your listeners. She can be
contacted at (919) 368-0580.
