1. ==> Trump’s Not Evil, He’s an Amateur

Historian Timothy Stanley says we need to stop saying
that Trump is an evil man. Stanley says the issue is
that he’s an amateur, which is one of the qualities
that won him votes. “Trump was elected as an anti-
politician who would disrupt a broken order and even
take risks. Sometimes they pay off: bringing Saudi
Arabia and Israel together and tempting Kim Jong Un out
from beneath his rock are all great steps forward.
Other times, the President finds himself underprepared
and out of his depth. Putin is a proven liar and
manipulator, and while Trump may well be a master of
deal-making, he simply isn’t operating at the level
Putin does.” Yet, Stanley says there’s no need for
panic. “Look beyond the sensationalized, Trump-style
rhetoric that everyone seems to indulge in nowadays to
the quiet, sober, behind-the-scenes truth.” Timothy is
a historian, journalist and broadcaster – specializing
in US history, politics and religion. He is the author
of “Citizen Hollywood: How the Collaboration Between LA
and DC Revolutionized American Politics” and writes for
the Daily Telegraph, the Catholic Herald, and CNN.

2. ==> Robots Are Here: Workers Must Adapt… or Else

We love technology, it’s fun and it makes our lives
easier. But is technology on a path that will soon make
it harder for you to make a living? Molly Kinder
explores the role of Artificial Intelligence in the
workplace in this month’s issue of Foreign Policy. She
writes that technological advances will produce both
winners and losers. “Some workers will lose their jobs.
A large share of workers will find their work changed,
sometimes dramatically; others will discover that their
skills are outdated. The cost of this adjustment will
not be distributed equally across countries,
communities, occupations, or skill levels. The
transition will be especially painful for the least
educated.” Molly Kinder is a senior advisor on work,
workers, and technology at New America; a fellow at
Georgetown University’s Beeck Center; and an adjunct
faculty member at Georgetown’s McCourt School of Public
Policy. A founding member of the Global Innovation
Fund, she served in the Obama administration as a
director at the U.S. Agency for International
Development’s Development Innovation Ventures program.

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

The new film Beautifully Broken opens Aug. 24th, but
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.

4. ==> Fun Show: Visit the ‘Secret’ Philadelphia

Founded in 1682, Philadelphia is one of the most
historic cities in the United States, the site of
critical battles and crucial decision making during the
country’s earliest years. Yet many of the millions of
annual visitors (42 million from the US alone in 2016)
know little more about the city than the Liberty Bell,
Rocky, and the fans who threw snowballs at Santa.
Invite Mary Dixon Lebeau, author of “Secret
Philadelphia”, to share the hidden side of the City of
Brotherly Love, one that’s weird, wonderful, and
obscure. From museums and murals to graveyards and
churches, your listeners will hear about off-beat
Philly adventures like exploring the cell where Al
Capone paid his debt to society or discovering the cave
of the first doomsday cult. Contact Don Korte at
dkorte@reedypress.com

5. ==> What Teachers Wish They Could Tell Parents

As the new school year inches closer many teachers are
already back in the classroom getting ready for
students… and their parents. Get a look at back-to-
school from a teacher’s perspective when you invite
Nancy Gretzinger to share what every teacher would like
parents to know about the upcoming school year. A
retired educator and administrator for over 40 years,
Gretzinger can discuss everything from school supplies
(don’t buy them until you get a list from the teacher!)
to handling classroom issues. You’ll also learn the
best way to communicate with teachers (don’t do it at
drop-off), and when you should consider holding off on
kindergarten for another year. Nancy Gretzinger, Ed.D.,
spent 43+ years in education including teaching,
administration at the building and district level and
teaching at the university level. She is also the
author of several books. Contact her at (480) 558-7457;
healthyonllc@gmail.com

6. ==> Are You Ready for a Back-to-School 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. Dr. Saundra
Dalton-Smith will discuss how adults and kids can more
easily reacclimate themselves from easygoing summer
schedules to the hectic rat race that begins in the
fall. Listener’s will learn 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.
Contact her at (256) 405-9765; DrDaltonSmith@gmail.com

7. ==> ADHD Back to School Survival Tips

Getting into back-to-school mode is tough enough, but
if you’ve got a kid with ADHD it’s even harder. Invite
Kim Northup, an academic coach specializing in ADHD to
share strategies for a successful school year. She says
this is a great time to establish new routines and
organization and structure to help make managing
mornings, homework time, and extracurricular activities
more easily. “It’s also a time to think about setting
up partnership with school and teachers. Communications
binders, requesting evaluations, requesting
accommodations through IEP’s and section 504 plans are
all scary things for parents. Even college students are
eligible for help if they have an ADHD diagnosis.” Kim
Northup has ADHD and raised 2 children who also have
ADHD and other learning differences. She is a certified
special education teacher, certified advanced level
academic coach and a certified trainer in the Jack
Canfield success principles. Contact her at (817)
506-5995 or knorthup@adhdinstruction.com

8. ==> What Employee Benefit Do Most of Us Blow Off?

If your employer was willing to give you more than
$5,000 a year in financial assistance would you take
it? Apparently not. Only 5 percent of employees
eligible to receive tuition reimbursement from their
employers take advantage of the benefit. You’ll explore
the reasons why this is so with Barbara Plasker, Ed.D.,
as your guest. Barbara spent nine years as a career
advisor to adults returning to school when she worked
for a major university. She’ll inspire your audience to
consider heading back to school themselves and taking
advantage of that underutilized benefit. She’ll talk
about the fear that often holds adults back from
seeking more education and share her own story: her
undergraduate GPA was an underwhelming 2.44 yet she
went on to earn a master’s and doctorate. She’ll also
share the stories of other adults who transformed their
lives by going back to school. Barbara is the author of
“Simple Ways to Transform Your Life: Lessons Learned by
a Late Bloomer.” Reach her at (845) 368-4413;
barbaraplasker@live.com

9. ==> Social Security Turns 83 Today!

Today is the 83rd anniversary of Social Security.
Invite Nancy Altman, president of Social Security
Works, to discuss the biggest myths about the program,
like how it has grown much larger than the founders
intended. Altman says, “If President Roosevelt and his
colleagues were alive today, they would certainly
recognize Social Security as fully consistent with
their intent and their vision. They would undoubtedly
be shocked, though, that so little progress has been
made in the decades since 1935 when they laid down, in
Roosevelt’s words, the ‘cornerstone in a structure
which is being built but is by no means complete.’”
Altman is the author of “The Truth About Social
Security: The Founders’ Words Refute Revisionist
History, Zombie Lies, and Common Misunderstandings.”

10. ==> Could Ignoring Africa Endanger the World?

As the Middle East, North Korea, Russia, and China
dominate headlines in the West, will a lack of focus on
Africa prove to be a mistake that could endanger the
world? Author and speaker Sylvanus Ayeni warns of risks
to global security as the failed nations of Sub-Saharan
Africa can become fertile recruiting grounds for
terrorist organizations that are driven out of the
Middle East and elsewhere. This, in turn, impacts the
worsening of the refugee crisis in Europe and to a
lesser extent in North America. The poor healthcare
systems of these nations pose the threat of pandemics
like the Ebola virus in 2014/2015, which began in West
Africa. Ayeni, a retired neurosurgeon, was born and
raised in Nigeria. His new book, “Rescue Thyself:
Change in Sub-Saharan Africa Must Come from Within,”
reveals what many in the West don’t understand about
the root causes of Sub-Saharan Africa’s plight and the
necessary steps to improve the situation. Dr. Ayeni is
the president of Pan Africa Children Advocacy Watch
(PACAW) Inc. Contact him at (301) 910-1020 (MD);
stoksayeni777@gmail.com

11. ==> 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)
859-9081; jencoken@gmail.com

12. ==> How Women Can Finally Break the Glass Ceiling

Despite that women are more empowered than ever before,
they still have a long way to go when it comes to
cracking the glass ceiling. This is especially true in
creative fields. Award-winning author and filmmaker
Kailin Gow has been on the frontlines of the women’s
empowerment movement for years and can share how she
overcame discrimination and harassment, despite the
“boys club” mentality of the book and film industries.
“Doors were not open to me when I became a pioneer in
digital book publishing and an indie female filmmaker,”
she says. “Less than 10 percent of directors are
female.” Kailin will share how she overcame numerous
obstacles, and how we can empower young women for
success. Kailin Gow is the founder of Sparklesoup Inc.,
an internationally recognized, multi-award-winning
bestselling author and director/filmmaker who has sold
over 5.5 million books. Her next book, “Kailin Gow’s Go
Girl Guide,” will be released in May. Contact her at
(949) 923-0243; sparklesoup@aol.com

13. ==> How to Sell Your Story or Idea to Hollywood

Do you have an idea for a story that you’ve always
thought would be perfect for television? Well now you
can find out! Invite award-winning screenwriter,
author, TV/film producer, journalist, and TV host
Maryann Ridini Spencer to reveal what it takes to write
a great screenplay that audiences will love. She can
explain what resonates with audiences and whether the
story you’ve always dreamt of writing would make the
cut with a major TV network. As a master of
storytelling from her award-winning novel “Lady in the
Window” to her top-rated Hallmark Hall of Fame (CBS-TV)
movie ‘The Lost Valentine, starring Betty White and
Jennifer Love Hewitt, she knows how to craft a story
that audiences will love. Her work has also appeared on
the Hallmark Channel, CNN, USA, SyFy, Showtime, PBS,
and many others. Her next novel, “The Paradise Table,”
is set to be released in early 2019. Contact her at
(818) 884-0104 (CA); recprinfo@gmail.com

14. ==> 50 Ways to Love Wine More

Whether your listeners are wine connoisseurs or stumble
over the word “sommelier,” Certified Wine Educator
James Laughren offers a non-technical, non-geeky,
unintimidating exploration of the joy and pleasures of
wine. As the author of “50 Ways to Love Wine More:
Adventures in Wine Appreciation,” Jim is ready to
uncork some fun on your program as he demystifies the
mystery of wine and removes the snooty intimidation
factor. He’ll cover everything from how to get more out
of visiting wineries to why you needn’t take wine
parings seriously. Plus, he’ll share inside tips on
getting the best wine for your buck! Jim is the past
president of a wine importing and distribution company
and is known for his fun and irreverent wine classes
and seminars. He is also the author of “A Beer
Drinker’s Guide to Knowing and Enjoying Fine Wine.”

15. ==> Doc Reveals Why You Shouldn’t Get a Flu Shot

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 so 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. Contact Dr. Mylaine Riobe at (772)

16.==> Technology Is a Pain in the Neck!

Most of us spend too much time on our smartphones and
sitting in front of our laptops and tablets. We know
this is taking away from our face-to-face relationships
but what we probably don’t realize is that such
behavior also causes numbness, tingling, neck pain and
other painful symptoms. Let pain expert Anna Lee, M.D.,
explain what causes that pain and how to make it go
away. Dr. Lee is a board-certified pain management
physician who trained at Hahnemann and the University
of Pennsylvania. She is also the developer of an FDA-
approved pioneering pain relief treatment—one that
people from around the country are seeking out. Reach
her at (201) 925-0315; drlee1@optimum.net

17. ==> Neurosurgeon: How Positive Thoughts Protect
Your Brain and Body

Twenty-two years ago while he was a neurosurgery
resident, Mahmoud Rashidi, M.D., experienced an event
that would shape his life as a neurosurgeon: he was
diagnosed with a brain tumor that required surgery.
After making a full recovery, Rashidi has treated
thousands of neurosurgery patients. In the process, he
studied which qualities help patients recover and
discovered strategies anyone can use to improve their
brain health. Invite him to discuss the ways the brain
effects the body’s nervous system, hormones and more
and share how patients with positive attitudes about
their illnesses tend to get better faster. Mahmoud
Rashidi grew up in Iran and completed neurosurgery
training at the University of Toronto. In 2014, he
founded Mind Medicine LLC, a company dedicated to
researching, teaching, and promoting the compelling
answers to this question: How do our thoughts and
emotions affect our health and ability to heal? “Mind
Medicine” is his first book. Contact him at (707)

18. ==> Why You Should Have a Sex Therapist

Americans are having trouble in the bedroom! And
whether the problem involves lack of desire/excitement,
performance issues, pain, drug side effects, abuse,
body image or outright dysfunction — people should
realize there IS help. Interview psychotherapist/sex-
therapist Beatty Cohan, Ph.D., for her “Put Sizzle in
Your Sex Life” advice millions need. Beatty has already
helped people globally via her counseling, her best-
selling book “For Better, For Worse Forever: Discover
the Path to Lasting Love,” and her popular ‘Ask Beatty’
radio program. She will explore (g-rated or graphic!)
everything from creating sex dates to overcoming sexual
obstacles to building a joyous relationship for
communication, togetherness and satisfaction at any
age. Contact Beatty Cohan at (941) 914-3063 (FL);
beattycohan.msw@gmail.com

19. ==> How to Divorce-Proof Your Marriage

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
pastor, Christian counselor and life coach, and has
counseled more than 500 couples, with an 85 percent
success rate. He is the author of the book “Preparing
for and Fostering Harmony in Marriage.” Contact him at

20. ==> 84 Yr. Old Reveals How to Achieve Success at
Any Age

At 84 years old, David L. Peters has had a successful
career as an engineer, 18 patents, co-owns a computer
graphics company, has a loving wife of 57 years, and
has written his first book. Despite his career in
science, he firmly credits his faith in God for his
continued success and taking on new ventures, despite
his age. “At 84, I have been blessed with a sense of
God ‘being there’ from age 4,” he says. “My life has
been filled with unbelievable synchronicities, all
based upon my unwavering belief and trust in the
goodness of God.” David further attests that beliefs
rooted in science and a deity are not mutually
exclusive. “My faith comes through science, as I firmly
believe that quantum physics has proven the existence
of a higher power.” David L. Peters is the author of
“The 12 Steps to Joy and Happiness: Finding the Kingdom
of God that Lies Within.” Contact him at (607)

1. ==> Social Security Turns 83: What Would FDR Think?

August 14th is the 83rd anniversary of Social Security.
Invite Nancy Altman, president of Social Security
Works, to discuss the biggest myths about the program,
like how it has grown much larger than the founders
intended. Altman says, “If President Roosevelt and his
colleagues were alive today, they would certainly
recognize Social Security as fully consistent with

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 a scandalous murder, a 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. ==> PGA Weekend – Why Do 24 Million People Find Golf
So Fascinating?

Today through Sunday (Aug. 9th through Aug. 12th)
coverage of the PGA Championship at Bellerive Golf
Course in St. Louis will be in the news and on screens
everywhere. There will be buzz about Tiger Woods’
return to the course and whether Dustin Johnson, Jason
Day or Tommy Fleetwood will win, of course. Yet it also
offers the opportunity to talk about golf in larger
terms: Why do people find it so fascinating? Why do
people who don’t golf still like to watch it on TV? In
what ways is golf a metaphor for life? What life
lessons can golf teach even non-golfers? Andre Huu,
author of “The Round of Your Life,” can answer those
questions. Andre is a high handicap golfer and former
physical therapist who is convinced that everyone
should be keeping score on and off the course because
life is not a practice round. Reach him at (832)
418-8860; AndrePT228@aol.com

4. ==> Why You Should Have a Sex Therapist

Americans are having trouble in the bedroom! And
whether the problem involves lack of desire/excitement,
performance issues, pain, drug side effects, abuse,
body image or outright dysfunction — people should
realize there IS help. Interview psychotherapist/sex-
therapist Beatty Cohan, Ph.D., for her ‘Put Sizzle in
Your Sex Life’ advice millions need. Beatty has already
helped people globally via her counseling, her best-
selling book “For Better, For Worse Forever: Discover

5. ==> B-T-S Warning: Heavy Backpacks Lower Grades &
Self-Esteem

It’s back to school season and parents everywhere are
going shopping for supplies but Bob Prichard says you
should think twice about picking up a big backpack for
your kid. About 18 years ago, Prichard, who runs the
Somax Performance Institute, noticed many young
athletes came to his swim camps with lower-than-
expected chest expansion. But more surprising was that
after increasing their chest expansion and vital
capacity, the positive benefits went beyond sports and
included better grades. Prichard says, “It’s all about
increasing oxygen to the brain! Low brain oxygen can
affect everything from cognition to mood and even
motivation.” The swimmers linked their low chest
expansion to heavy backpacks that became popular in the
90s, and because the condition is silent and lasts
forever without treatment, millions of children – and
their parents — may be suffering low brain oxygen and
not even know it. Prichard will share a simple way to
measure chest expansion, how to increase it, and the
many benefits of increasing brain oxygen at any age.
Bob Prichard is the author of “Are You Robbing Your
Brain of Oxygen?” Contact him at (415) 435-9880 (CA);

6. ==> Fear Keeps Adults from Going Back to School

Back-to-School isn’t just for kids and their parents.
It’s also for adults who want to get ahead or move into
new careers. Even late bloomers! Barbara Plasker,
Ed.D., spent nine years as a career advisor to adults
returning to school when she worked for a major
university. She’ll inspire your audience to consider
heading back to school themselves including pointing
out that many employers offer tuition assistance that
few employees actually take advantage of. She’ll talk
about the fear that often holds adults back from
seeking more education and share her own story: her
undergraduate GPA was an underwhelming 2.44 yet she
went on to earn a master’s and doctorate. She’ll also
share the stories of other adults who went on to
transform their lives by going back to school. Barbara
is the author of “Simple Ways to Transform Your Life:
Lessons Learned by a Late Bloomer.” Reach her at (845)
368-4413; barbaraplasker@live.com

7. ==> 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
disaster strikes. The best-selling author, consultant
and TEDx speaker has appeared on MSNBC, podcasts, on
over 50 radio stations in multiple countries, and in
print, including in Wired. Reach her at (703) 346.4448;
robin.burk@checkyourconnections.com

8. ==> 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 worth of 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

9. ==> Former Miss America Contestant Says Feminists
Have it all Wrong

The battle over Miss America 2.0 continues. 30 former
Miss Americas have come out in support of changes in
the pageant for 2019, including dropping the swimsuit
competition, but officials at the state level are livid
over the changes and have called for the resignation of
the board and Chairman Gretchen Carlson. Former Miss
America contestant Jane Jenkins Herlong agrees.
“Gretchen Carlson has connected an almost 100-year-old
tradition with the #MeToo movement. Miss America is not
about #MeToo, but Gretchen (who had a big job at Fox
News) has connected her career or loss of a career with
the Miss America Pageant. It is obvious that she has an
agenda.” Jane can share her fascinating pageant

10. ==> The Real ‘Dreamers’ of Immigration

TV news is dominated by images of illegal immigrants
being detained as politicians and pundits argue the
rights of those flooding into the US without visas, but
what about the people trying to enter the US legally?
Jonathon Dunne is a writer, speaker, and host on The
Blaze Radio Network who has been trying to come to the
US legally for 14 years. He’ll reveal the side of
immigration that most Americans have never heard and
explain why the system is encouraging so many to come
to the US illegally by rewarding bad behavior. He says
those who try to respect America’s laws are ignored and
receive no help while those who overstay their visas or
enter illegally are hailed as “dreamers.” In 2017 Dunne
was offered a full-time position with Glenn Beck but
lack of a college degree and relevant paid work
experience kept him out of the US. Despite this
rejection, he continues to promote the American’s
ideals of maximum freedom and maximum responsibility on
his weekly program, Freedom’s Disciple. Dunne has been
featured by The Glenn Beck Program, The Chris Salcedo
Show, Bill Martinez Live, and others. Contact him at

11. ==> Renewable Energy is NOT the Best Option

Most of us go about our daily routines not thinking too
deeply about energy and fuel emissions. We obey the
pollution laws and try to use popular media information
to do our bit for green lifestyle and eco-friendly
choices. Unfortunately, Tim Maloney says some of the
advice we get from our media is wrong. That’s
especially true about the merits of renewable energy.
Invite Maloney to discuss a fascinating case in point,
the updated China policy regarding national energy
additions through year 2050. With little media
attention, Chinese leaders are de-emphasizing their own
solar and wind construction (but not activity in world
export markets), and replacing renewables with a vastly
expanded nuclear fleet. Their new policy is considered
necessary for dealing with the disastrous state of
their environment, especially air and water quality.
Why China’s change of heart? And what are the
implications for U.S. planning? Tim Maloney has the
answers in his book “Roadmap to Nowhere.” Contact him
at t.maloney@bex.net

12. ==> Former Mistress Tells Her Side

For more than 30 years and until his death, Patti Houtz
was the mistress of an important man more than twice
her age—a man with five children. Yet she’s not the
least bit ashamed of that; in fact, she is even friends
with her lover’s widow. Invite Houtz on air to talk
about the adventures of life as a mistress and why she
says affairs are not always about sex. She can also
reveal what mistresses wish wives knew and how to
affair-proof your marriage. In her upcoming memoir
“Solo By Choice,” she talks about her life as a
mistress, her decision to live free from marriage and
children and more. Reach Patti at (775) 376-1676;

13. ==> Doc Says the Opioid Epidemic Shouldn’t Have
Happened

Much has been said about how to eliminate the opioid
epidemic. But only Anna Lee, M.D., says opioids should
never have been popular to begin with! As Dr. Lee will
tell your audience, like most pain treatments, opioids
do not address the root cause of pain. She’ll say that
pain originates from nerve injuries—not in the muscles
and bones that most treatments focus on. Then she’ll
explain that there is an FDA-approved method for
treating pain that could single-handedly lead millions
of people to pain-free lives. But first, they need to
hear about it and have a chance to try it. Dr. Lee is
the only person in the world who can talk about this as
she is the developer of the groundbreaking treatment.
Anna Lee trained at Hahnemann and the University of
Pennsylvania. Reach her at (201) 925-0315;

14. ==> Why You Need to Quit Your Smart Phone

When is the last time you spent time with friends or
family without checking your phone? Is your texting
habit jeopardizing your relationships and ruining your
career? Tamara Dorris says that every time you receive
a text or get a response on social media, your brain
secretes dopamine, igniting a pleasure center that
makes the rewards of checking your phone addictive. An
author and certified hypnotherapist, Tamara will talk
about resisting the chemical reactions that occur in
the brain when our phones go “ding” to signal new
messages. An adjunct professor and conflict-resolution
expert, she’ll reveal strategies to resist your phone’s
siren song, and curb behavior that may be harming you.
Tamara, whose expertise includes the science behind the
power of the mind, has been quoted in Seventeen, Weight
Watchers, O Magazine, Wall Street Journal, and more.
Her television appearances include Sacramento & Company
and Good Day Sacramento. She can be reached at (916)
482-5834.

15. ==> Your Heirs Will Lose 70% of Your Wealth

It is a historically proven statistic that 70% of
family wealth is lost each time it passes to the next
generation, and completely gone at the end of the third
generation. Why? Because it is a scientific law called
entropy, the fact that everything in the universe is in
a state of deterioration. That includes families and
family wealth. Working with high-net-worth families for
25 years, Kip Kolson can explain how financial and
family coaching can help families develop a shared
vision, mission, and purpose. You hear how to grow and
protect family wealth and ensure the next generations
can realize their financial needs and dreams. Kip
Kolson is president of Family Wealth Leadership, a
multi-family office and family coaching firm. He is the
author of “You Can Have It All; Wealth, Wisdom, and
Purpose–Strategies for Creating a Lasting Legacy and
Strong Family.” Contact him at (949) 468-2000;

16. ==> Who Shot Ya? Flashback to the 90s

The 1990s seemed like a fun era, the hip clothes,
music, games, and lifestyle, so much so, that many
people are throwing 90s parties now to remember the
best of that decade. Although it’s great to highlight
the fun from the era, let’s not forget the tragedies as
well. Racial tensions were heightened in the 90s and
America was defined by racism. Memories of horrific
experiences and cops killing innocent people hasn’t
changed much today. If you simply scroll through the
news you will find at least one article describing a
violent encounter based on race. Statista states 325
black people were shot and killed by officers in the
U.S. in 2017-2018. Invite Nita Wiggins to describe her
own racial encounters in the 1990s and how those
experiences led her to create a program called the Race
Relations Reconstruction. She’ll discuss why history
should not repeat itself and how we can make changes to
better our future. Nita Wiggins’ upcoming book is
“Civil Rights Baby.” Contact her at
nitadallas@yahoo.com

17. ==> Why Medical Insurers Don’t Cover Alternative
Health Care

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
insurance fraud,” says Steven M. Hall, M.D. “However,
every aspect of your life affects your health.
Traditional 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
(425) 531-3684.

18. ==> I D.A.R.E. You NOT to use Drugs and Try Natural
Healing

According to recent estimates, 1-in-3 Americans used
prescription drugs to heal pain in 2015. Prescription
drugs can be expensive, addictive, and lead many people
into debt and drug abusive. Millions of people suffer
from some kind of physical pain and not everyone wants
to use drugs to cure it. There are many natural healing
alternatives but Dawn Crystal offers a unique healing
method that can heal pain by simply the sound of her
voice! She has been on Dr. Oz and other major networks
discussing how she heals people in just minutes. No
more medication is needed with her unique method of
natural healing. Contact her to hear and be healed at
dawncrystalmaui@gmail.com

19. ==> One Simple Trait that Can Lead to Success
Beyond Your Wildest Dreams

What are the secrets to success? Fame? Money? Power?
Physical beauty? None of the above, says best-selling
author Kim Chestney. She credits a trait all people
have, but may not even be aware of: 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
can 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

20. ==> Forget About a Bucket List — Write Your Own
Eulogy!

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. Contact her at

1. ==> Can We Trust Facebook or Twitter?

This week Facebook said it had shut down eight pages,
17 profiles and seven Instagram accounts that violated
its “ban on coordinated inauthentic behavior.” But some
say the move is creating an enormous gray area where
the authenticity of speech, protest, patriotism and any
other kind of belief and intent is a matter of opinion.
James Freeman writes in the Wall Street Journal, “If
Silicon Valley isn’t careful it could destroy perhaps
the greatest business model of all time. Campaigns by
social media companies to disinfect American
conversation may do more harm to the companies and
their customers than to Russia’s effort to influence
and disrupt American democracy.” He adds, “If big
social media companies now seek to become the
gatekeepers of public discussion, how much content will
users be inclined to generate?” James Freeman is
assistant editor of The Wall Street Journal’s editorial
page and author of the weekday Best of the Web column
and newsletter. He writes about business, finance and
taxes among other issues, and is a contributor to the
FOX News Channel. Contact him at James.Freeman@wsj.com,

2. ==> What’s the True Cost of ‘Medicare for All’?

While a Koch-backed think-tank’s report highlights the
high cost of ‘Medicare for All’ two distinguished
professors say the report actually shows that a single-
payer health care system would offset those costs with
even greater savings. Drs. David Himmelstein and
Steffie Woolhandler have written an analysis of the
work of the think tank which says, “The Mercatus
Center’s estimate of the cost of implementing Sen.
Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All Act (M4A) projects
outlandish increases in the utilization of medical
care, ignores vast savings under single-payer reform,
and fails to even mention the extensive and well-
documented evidence on single-payer systems in other
nations — which all spend far less per person on health
care than we do. Moreover, the Mercatus Center admits
that universal first dollar coverage under Sen.
Sanders’ bill would cause little increase in the
nation’s total health expenditures; it would merely
shift expenditures from private to public sources.”
Himmelstein and Woolhandler are distinguished
professors of health policy at the City University of
New York at Hunter College and lecturers in medicine at
Harvard Medical School. Contact them at
himmelhandler@comcast.net, @swoolhandler

3. ==> How the Qur’an and Bible Are Intrinsically
Connected

While the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament are
understood to be related texts, the sacred scripture of
Islam, the third Abrahamic faith, has generally been
considered separately. But noted religious scholar
Notre Dame Theologian Gabriel Said Reynolds says these
holy books are intrinsically connected. Invite him to
provide your listeners a new lens through which to view
the powerful links that bond these three major
religions. Reynolds will demonstrate how Jewish and
Christian characters, imagery, and literary devices
feature prominently in the Qur’an, including stories of
angels bowing before Adam and of Jesus speaking as an
infant. As Muslims across the world celebrate the
religious holiday of Eid al-Adha later this month,
Reynolds can also explain the holiday and how it is
celebrated around the world. Gabriel Said Reynolds is
professor of Islamic studies and theology at the
University of Notre Dame. He is the author of “The
Qur’an and the Bible: Text and Commentary.” Contact

journey inside one of America’s most remote and
precious parklands, Yellowstone National Park. Emmy

remote wilderness—where anything can happen and the
odds of being rescued are just as remote. Arnold can
talk about the wildlife he expects to see, the dangers
he will face and more. Arnold has been a helicopter
cameraman for 22 years. He has worked on such shows as
Survivor, Deadliest Catch and Celebrity Apprentice. He

a Health Hazard

6. ==> Are Your Kids in the Best School for Them?

Are your kids in the right school? Sometimes it’s hard
to know. Lee Jenkins, creator of “The Perfect School,”
understands this and will share 15 questions every
parent should be asking their kids before a new school
year begins. As a former educator and administrator
both in public schools and universities, Lee saw the
need for a new way to teach – one that keeps that
‘intrinsic motivation’ alive from kindergarten through
12th grade. “What most parents don’t realize is that
motivation is made up of both will and thrill. Are your
kids working hard and loving the process?” Jenkins
says, “Chances are they aren’t!” Lee Jenkins is the
author of “Permission to Forget” and the upcoming “The
Perfect School.” He consults and writes full time with
his firm LtoJ Consulting Group, Inc. Contact him at

7. ==> You Aren’t Zuckerberg or Gates… Go to Grad
School Already!

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

8. ==> Back-to-School Isn’t Just for Kids

Back-to-school isn’t just for kids and their parents.
It’s also for adults who want to get ahead or move into
new careers. Even late bloomers! Barbara Plasker,
Ed.D., spent nine years as a career advisor to adults
returning to school when she worked for a major
university. She’ll inspire your audience to consider
heading back to school themselves including pointing
out that many employers offer tuition assistance that
few employees actually take advantage of. She’ll talk
about the fear that often holds adults back from
seeking more education and share her own story: her
undergraduate GPA was an underwhelming 2.44 yet she
went on to earn a master’s and doctorate. She’ll also
share the stories of other adults who went on to
transform their lives by going back to school. Barbara

10. ==> Former Miss America Contestant Says the 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, including the elimination of the
swimsuit contest. “Being physically fit is one of the
standards of excellence,” Jane says. “Day by day, 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 her latest “Rhinestones on My
Flip-Flops.” A sought-after speaker who was inducted
into the Speaker Hall of Fame, Jane is a gifted singer

11. ==> Can Your 401k Help You Find True Love?

Conventional wisdom is to marry for love, not money,
but can you do both? Financial advisor John Miller is a
single guy looking for love but also for a lady who
either knows about investing or wants to know about
investing. When he searched online he couldn’t find any
dating websites that were financially oriented, so he
started one himself! He says, “Both women and men want
a financially secure partner, especially in today’s
tough economy. Those who join this website are looking
to meet an attractive, financially motivated partner.”
Invite him to share his advice on what to look for when
you’re looking for love AND money. His book, “The
Coming Gold, Silver, and Block-Chain Share Explosion!”,
reveals how Americans can protect and build their life
savings. Your audience can get a free Kindle download

12. == > Summer is the Best Time to Reimagine Your
Career

Before the lazy, hazy days of summer expire, business
coach Paula Black says you should take advantage of one
of the summer’s greatest strengths: the opportunity to
slow down and reflect on whether your career is being
guided by you or is on automatic pilot. Black will
share tips for listeners who want to stop doing what
they think they should be doing and focus on what they
want to do. From analyzing your choices to taking
inventory and getting out of your own head, she’ll help
show listeners a way out of their miserable existence.
Through her coaching business, Paula Black has advised
lawyers, accountants, financial advisors, media

13. ==> How Dads Can Empower Daughters to Fight Sexual
Harassment

Women have traditionally represented the highest
percentage of consumers of books about love, marriage,
parenting and other seemingly feminine topics. However,
best-selling author of female empowerment titles Kailin
Gow has made a surprising discovery. “Men are also
followers of mine,” she says. “I am finding out that
men are reading books normally geared toward women
because there is a lack of books for men, such as
parenting books.” Thus, Kailin has released a book
especially for dads: “Raising Strong Daughters: What
Fathers Should Know.” She can share how dads can help
to empower their daughters in the age of the #MeToo
movement, school violence and other challenging life
situations young girls experience. Kailin is a long-
time female empowerment advocate, the founder of
Sparklesoup Inc., an internationally recognized, multi-
award-winning bestselling author who has sold over 5.5
million books, and director/filmmaker. She also is the

14. ==> What to Do in August So You Won’t Get the 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 so they can prepare now! Dr. Riobe is the author

Alternative Health Care

16. ==> He Saved His Dying Wife by Ignoring Her
Doctors’ Advice

When Anthony Randle’s wife Jessica was diagnosed with
stage four breast cancer, her doctors told her she
could eat and do whatever she wanted while undergoing
aggressive treatments. But after having a poignant
dream about his late grandmother who was an energy
healer, he discovered little known holistic ways to
expedite Jessica’s recovery. “I did my own research and
found that sugar feeds cancer, so we eliminated that
from her diet,” he says. “She also started doing
aikido, and the healing started from there.” As a
result, Jessica sailed through chemo with very few
nasty side effects, and is now cancer free! 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

When is the last time you spent time with friends or

brain secretes dopamine, igniting a pleasure center
that makes the rewards of checking your phone
addictive. An author and certified hypnotherapist,

18. ==> Summer Heat is Ruff On Pets

Summer isn’t over yet and there’s plenty of heat yet to
come in the next few weeks. While you probably know how
to keep yourself healthy in the heat, you may not know
how to take care of those that can’t take care of
themselves—your pets. Animal-Human health expert Carlyn
Montes De Oca will share five lifesaving tips to keep
your animal friends cool and comfortable this summer.
She’ll also share the many ways dogs are the best

19. ==> How Faith Can Help You Live a Long, Successful
Life

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

21. ==> Former Mistress Tells Her Side

For more than 30 years and until his death, Patti Houtz
was the mistress of an important man more than twice
her age—a man with five children. Yet she’s not the
least bit ashamed of that; in fact, she is even friends
with her lover’s widow. Invite Houtz on air to talk
about the satisfactions of life as a mistress and why
she says affairs are not about sex. She can also reveal
what mistresses wish wives knew and how to affair-proof
your marriage. In her upcoming memoir “Solo By Choice,”

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

1. ==> The Plot to Attack Iran

In a detailed and strongly worded speech this week
against Iran’s leaders and their legitimacy, Secretary
of State Mike Pompeo signaled an extraordinarily tough
policy by the Trump administration in dealing with them
and what he called “40 years of kleptocracy.” But Dan
Kovalik says the campaign to erode support for Iran is
a distraction from the issue of Russia. “Pompeo’s
claims about Iran and its neighbors simply reflect
little understanding of the history of the country or
the region. For the past 100 years, Iran has been
subjected to military aggression from its neighbors,
experiencing military occupation during both World
Wars. After the Islamic Revolution of 1979, it went
through eight years of war, defending itself from
Saddam Hussein and the MEK — the latter which, despite
assassinating 17,000 Iranians and even several
Americans as well, have now developed a strong
relationship with Pompeo and Trump’s National Security
Advisor, John Bolton.” Kovalik is author of the new
book “The Plot to Attack Iran: How the CIA and the Deep
State Have Conspired to Vilify Iran.” He teaches
international human rights at the University of
Pittsburgh School of Law. Contact him at
DKovalik@usw.org, @danielmkovalik

2. ==> Who’s Afraid of Sharks? Not this Couple

Every July the Discovery Channel declares “Shark Week”
and viewers eat it up! Invite underwater and wildlife
filmmakers (and scuba divers) Cathryn Castle Garcia and
her husband Gui (rhymes with sea) to share their tales
of swimming with sharks. Cathryn says sharks can teach
us a lot about perseverance and character. “Sharks are
not vicious man-eaters. In fact, they put a lot of
thought into selecting prey. Sometimes they get it
wrong. But it’s a case of mistaken identity, not
murder. Humans get it wrong, too. We are far more
dangerous to sharks than sharks are to us. We’ve
overfished practically every shark species into
critical numbers.” Invite the Garcias to discuss their
experiences with sharks including diving with great
whites in Australia, tiger sharks and Caribbean reef
sharks in the Bahamas, and the time they each survived
a shark bite. Cathryn Castle Garcia and Gui Garcia of
C2G2 Productions are the authors of “Ocean Metaphor:
Unexpected Life Lessons from the Sea,” due out this
fall. Contact them at (541) 490-2324;
cccastle@gorge.net

3. ==> Interview Celebrity Stylist and Actress GooGoo
Atkins

Thomasina “GooGoo” Atkins has been a celebrity stylist
for over a decade dressing clients like Neicy Nash,
Lisa Raye and Laila Ali, but you might recognize her as
the younger sister of musicians Erica and Tina Campbell
from the reality show, Mary on WEtv. Invite GooGoo on
your show to find out what it’s like dressing
celebrities, style tips for every size body, and talk
about her move from behind the scenes to in front of
the camera. GooGoo plays the no nonsense judge in the
upcoming film, “Beautifully Broken.” The movie hits
theaters on August 24th and is based on a true story
about two men and how they protect and support their
families. The men, Randy Hartley and William Mwizerwa,
form an unlikely, unique and inspiring friendship that
was born out of nightmarish tragic experience. This
touching film has received positive reviews from
consumers during advanced screenings and the media.
GooGoo currently stars in TV One’s, We’re the
Campbells. Contact Michelle Huff Elliott or Shemika
Harmitt at michelle@strategicheights.com;
shemika@strategicheights.com or (212) 634-7176.

4. ==> The Role of Passion and Persistence in Success

Explore the science of why some people succeed and
others fail, and why talent alone doesn’t guarantee
success with Angela Duckworth and learn how
perseverance and passion matter at least as much as
talent and intelligence. From the campus of West Point
to classrooms in San Francisco, from the National
Spelling Bee stage to the practice facility of the NFL
champion Seattle Seahawks, Angela will take listeners
across the country to illuminate our fascination with
achievement, and spotlight those who are living gritty
lives. Angela Duckworth is an academic, psychologist
and popular science author. She’s the founder and CEO
of Character Lab, a nonprofit organization with the
mission of advancing the science and practice of
character development. She is also a MacArthur “genius”
grant winner and the author of “GRIT: The Power of
Passion and Perseverance.” Contact Johanna Ramos-Boyer
at (703) 646-5137 or Erin Bolden at (703) 646-5188

5. ==> ‘The Shiggy’ Goes Viral and Gets Dangerous

There’s a viral video challenge popping up all over
social media, where people are opening their car doors
while the car is still motion. Drake’s ‘In My Feelings’
challenge has taken over the Internet and become the
latest dance craze as people post videos doing ‘The
Shiggy.’ But the move is dangerous, and now videos are
going viral of participants showing off their moves
until it goes terribly wrong. The videos show people
falling out of cars into the street, cars hitting
people while dancing, and cars even being taken while
people turn their backs to bust a move. Invite Dr. John
Huber to talk about the craze, 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) 901-1103; (919) 377-1200.

6. ==> July 28 is National Talk in an Elevator Day

Many of us have spent hours putting together our
‘elevator speeches’ but how many of us have actually
talked to a stranger in an elevator? Cristina Smith
urges everyone to get courageous and take a moment to
make conversation while riding up and down this week.
“Most of us use this time to check our smart devices
for email, messages, appointments and other
notifications. Take a break and meet someone new while
riding in an elevator. It could be as simple as just
looking someone in the eye and saying hi”, says
Cristina. Cristina Smith is the founder and CEO of the
Subtle Energy Center and the author of the “Yoga for
the Brain” series of profound philosophy and fun puzzle
books that help keep the brain flexible while giving it
a dopamine-induced boost of pleasure. Contact her at
(619) 339-6901; Cristina@SudokuWisdom.com or
Cristina@CristinaSmith.com

7. ==> As Wildfires Rage, Can Disaster Be Prevented?

From California to Colorado, wildfires seem to be
constantly burning. The Ferguson Fire near Yosemite
National Park has already burned more than 33,000 acres
since igniting on July 13. And things are likely to get
worse. Many parts of the US are facing a higher than
normal fire risk this year. And it’s not just here; in
Sweden, unusually warm temperatures have combined with
little to no rainfall to stoke severe wildfires in
several parts of that country. Californian entrepreneur
Jim Moseley has seen firsthand the devastating effect
of these fires, and will discuss the effects of the
fires, as well as a new technology being used to fire-
proof new constructions, a material repurposed from a
blanket designed by NASA. Featured on the May cover of
Malibu Times magazine, Moseley, a Grammy-nominated
trombonist (Google “Moseley Trombone” and enjoy!) can
be reached at (818) 486-4662; and
jim@SunFireDefense.com ?

8. ==> Look Before You Lock: Hot Cars Kill Kids

Ten minutes. That’s how long it takes for the
temperature inside a vehicle to rise 20 degrees. For
children in particular, this increase is enough to
result in death. With nine fatal child heatstroke cases
already this year, the National Safety Council has
issued a report outlining legislation that could save
kids’ lives and calls on parents and caregivers to
‘look before they lock.’ Invite Amy Artuso to discuss
the report and share tips and even technology that
could help prevent a child from dying in a hot car.
Artuso is senior program manager of advocacy at the
National Safety Council, a nonprofit organization whose
mission is to eliminate preventable deaths at work, in
homes and communities, and on the road. To book
interview contact the National Safety Council at (630)
775-2307; media@nsc.org

9. ==> His Grandfather Was the World’s Most Interesting
Man

Prince Serge Obolensky was known as the “Prince of New
York.” Born a Russian prince in 1890, he married a
Russian princess, escaped to England from the
Bolsheviks with a price on his head, immigrated to the
US with his second wife Alice Astor – an American
princess – in 1924, and reigned supreme at the St.
Regis Hotel in Manhattan, working for Vincent Astor who
asked him to help restore the grand hotel beyond its
former glory. In 1931, at the age of 53, Serge joined
the Commandos under “Wild Bill” Donovan and completed
two successful missions parachuting into Nazi-occupied
Europe. Ivan Obolensky, Serge’s grandson, has fond
memories of meeting his legendary grandfather for lunch
at the St. Regis and has many amazing, true stories to
relate, not only about his grandfather but also the
Astors and American aristocratic life at that time.
Invite him on your show for the most interesting
interview you do all year! Obolensky is the author of
the novel “Eye of the Moon.” Contact him at (818)
662-9731; ivan@smithobolenskymedia.com

10. ==> Make Your Own Chemical-Free Bug & Sun Sprays

Summer is the time to head out into the great outdoors
and enjoy nature. But somehow it doesn’t seem so
natural to slather on sunscreen and bug spray filled
with chemicals and who-knows-what. Invite Jen Coken to
share DIY recipes for everything from bug repellant to
after-sun care. “Did you know that lavender has been
proven to be as effective as DEET at keeping the bugs
away? Stop buying all of those expensive products
filled with chemicals and make your own at home!” Coken
will share recipes using common household ingredients
you probably already have on hand including witch hazel
and essential oils like lavender and peppermint. She’ll
also offer your audience a free eBook with the recipes.
Jen Coken is a wellness lifestyle expert and a frequent
contributor on radio and TV. Contact her at (303)
859-9081; jencoken@gmail.com

11. ==> Let’s Save American Kids by Saving their
Teachers from Burnout

This year, thousands of dedicated teachers will decide
to leave their jobs. Most will say they have felt
disillusioned for some time, even while believing in
their calling. Learn from Cheri Sizemore, Ed.D., what
it takes for educators to overcome burnout, whether
their classrooms serve primary school children, high
schoolers, or college students. Cheri will reveal the
positives to keeping seniority and familiarity. And
she’ll advise educators on balancing personal/family
experiences with professional life, year-round. Cheri
contends that ultimately everyone (especially today’s
kids!) will benefit when hopeful teachers stay put. She
will explore: how teacher burnout can affect your
child’s GPA; whether male or female teachers need more
encouragement to stay rooted; teachers, parents and
community politics; the fallout from school shootings,
gang activity and campus protests. Contact Cheri
Sizemore at (817) 797-6177; cherisizemore7@gmail.com.

12. ==> Why Are Wild Animals Attacking Innocent People?

In recent weeks, we’ve heard about hikers, bikers and
campers being confronted/attacked and even killed by
mountain lions. Plus, there are often stories about
destructive home invasions by bears, children being
attacked by coyotes, and other brazen wild creatures
wandering into civilization. Nature expert Bruce
Hemming, author of 4 Seconds Until Impact: The
Skyrocketing Attacks by Predators on Humans, says
growing populations of animals (no longer threatened or
endangered) present the problems. Laws that limited
hunting and trapping have done their job too well. Now
it’s often innocent human beings in peril. Interview
Hemming to learn how we can revamp safety programs to
protect everyone, especially people. He will explore
on-air: Which wilderness creatures have rebounded
most. What compels many animals to attack people or
invade human settings. How can we update animal
conservation laws? How unsafe is the great outdoors?

13. ==> Is Conventional Medicine Trying to Kill You?

According to the British Medical Journal, going to your
doctor is the third leading cause of death in the U.S.!
Steven M. Hall, M.D. claims this is because
pharmaceutical companies are more interested in profit
than saving lives. “Applicants to medical school are
selected on the basis of their willingness to obey
authority,” he says. “They often don’t think for
themselves. Drug companies pay for 90 percent of
medical education. Physicians are trained to be drug
company sales reps.” Although trained in conventional
Western medicine, Dr. Steve later added alternative
treatments to his practice, with dramatic results. “I
do use conventional medical tools, but I also focus on
how the mind and body interact. Conventional medicine
doesn’t take that into account.” He received his
medical degree from University of Utah School of
Medicine and has been practicing family medicine since
1985. Dr. Hall 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.

14. ==> What’s Your Food Kryptonite? Crush Your
Cravings

We all get cravings, especially when we are hungry. But
what about those nagging cravings that never seem to go
away? What if there was a way to make them disappear
that would make Superman proud? Food addiction
specialist Griff Neilson will share his four-step
system that will help you crush your food cravings. He
can also discuss: Why is it that we crave certain
foods? Why does willpower seem to crumble in the face
of temptation? How can you convert your cravings into
new habits that serve you rather than sabotage you? How
can you lose your gut by cleaning your gut? Griff is a
multiple certified personal trainer, and Level III CHEK
holistic lifestyle coach/nutritionist who holds a
bachelor’s degree in exercise science from the
University of Utah. His new book is “Exorcising Your
Excuses: Heal Your Mind. Honor Your Body. Manifest Your
Dream. Exorcising Your Excuses: Heal Your Mind. Honor
Your Body. Manifest Your Dream.” Contact him at (801)
444-2796; griff@llfit.com

15. ==> I D.A.R.E. You NOT to use Drugs and Try Natural
Healing

CBS states 1 out of 3 Americans used prescription drugs
to heal pain in 2015. Prescription drugs can be
expensive, addictive, and lead many people into debt
and drug abusive. Millions of people suffer from some
kind of physical pain and not everyone wants to use
drugs to cure it. There are many natural healing
alternatives but Dawn Crystal offers a unique healing
method that can heal pain by simply the sound of her
voice! She has been on Dr. Oz and other major networks
discussing how she heals people in just minutes. No
more medication is needed with her unique method of
natural healing. Contact her to hear and be healed at
dawncrystalmaui@gmail.com.

16. ==> How to Charge Your Body Like a Cell Phone

Why is it that we treat our cell phones better than our
own bodies? Over 100 million Americans suffer from
chronic illness. If we charged, protected and updated
our bodies could we prevent, or even reverse, gut
issues, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer? Reena
Jadhav, a Harvard-educated MBA and Wharton
undergraduate, will explain what it takes to charge,
protect and update your “magical machine” so that it’s
running at optimum efficiency. She will also reveal 6
shortcuts to help you stay in the “Heal Zone.” She had
to take control over her own serious health issues
after doctors failed her. Reena is the author of “My
Heal Journal”, an effective tool for healing her own
illnesses, and the creator of the Health Pyramid which
reveals small steps for going from sick to strong.

17. ==> Interview a Real-Life Wonder Woman

She’s strong and beautiful. Women want to be like her
but feel they are too busy. Like you, Adita Lang may
have folded laundry, made breakfast, dropped the kids
at school and got gas, before 8 a.m., but she still
finds time to take care of herself. How? By using her
SuperPowers, gifts women possess but lose sight of when
they are overwhelmed. Have Adita share techniques for
boosting these SuperPowers so women can eat right,
exercise, relax and smile instead of feeling
perpetually overworked. During 30 years in the wellness
industry, Adita has coached many women who could not
“fit it all in,” and lectured on fitness and nutrition
at universities. She’s the author of SuperPowers, A
Busy Woman’s Guide to Health and Happiness. Reach her
at (305) 794-6505; info@AditaLang.com
18. ==> Safe Strategies for Exiting Violent
Relationships
Every day, domestic hotlines across the country receive
more than 20,000 phone calls from men and women wanting
an escape from a toxic relationship. They know that by
staying they risk their lives as well as boost their
likelihood of depression and suicide. Dr. Clarence
Davis knows this all too well. His 23-year-old sister’s
toxic relationship led her to commit suicide nearly 50
years ago. It spurred Dr. Davis to study why people
kill themselves and how that awful outcome can be
prevented. It also led him to write his new book, “I
Deserve to Live: How to Escape a Violent Relationship,”
and to acknowledge the mistakes his family made while
trying to help his sister. Dr. Davis has over 50 years
of experience; he counseled soldiers while in Vietnam
and with the U.S. Postal Service and has served as a
pastor. He holds advanced certificates in family
crisis, abuse, addiction, anger, depression and PTSD.
He is a disabled Vietnam veteran and is the host of
“Rebuilding Families One Soul at a Time” on WOLB in
Baltimore. Contact him at (410) 444-8427;
cedavis1905@comcast.net; www.clergy3.com

19. ==> Racism, Trumpism, Anxiety: Bounce Back from
Anything

Many people are walking around in a continuous state of
pain and disappointment. When asked to identify the
source of that pain, they may cite despair over the
lack of civility in American politics, the ugliness of
racism, or the separation of asylum-seeking illegal
immigrants from their children. Or, it might be a more
personal blow such as a divorce, job loss or death in
the family. “I see it too, and feel it,” says Dee
Carroll, Ph.D., of their pain. “But we can’t all just
fall into a hole, go under our bed and hide when we
have responsibilities to ourselves, our friends and our
neighbors.” Invite her to inspire your listeners to
display conviction, courage and confidence to get
beyond it all. Dee will share her own story, as well as
stories of others who have overcome insurmountable odds
using her ‘freedom’ technique. Dee Carroll has 28-plus
years of executive experience in HR and management
consulting. She is a speaker, coach and consultant and
the author of “Emotional Emancipation: Step into Your
Freedom, Reinvent Your Challenges and Move Beyond.”

20. ==> The ‘90s Weren’t All Fun, Discrimination Was
High

The 1990s seemed like a fun era, the hip clothes,
music, games, and lifestyle, so much so, that many
people are throwing ‘90s parties now to remember the
best of that decade. Although it is great to highlight
the fun from the era, let’s not forget the tragedies as
well. Racial tensions were heightened in the ‘90s and
America was defined by racism. Memories of horrific
experiences and cops killing innocent people hasn’t
changed much today. If you simply scroll through the
news you will find at least one article describing a
violent encounter based on race. Statista states 325
black people were shot and killed by officers in the
U.S. in 2017-2018. Nita Wiggins described her own
racial encounters in the 1990s in her upcoming book
called, Civil Rights Baby and how those experiences led
her to create a program called the Race Relations
Reconstruction. Contact her to hear why history should
not repeat itself and how we can make changes to better
our future. Contact Nita Wiggins at

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

1. ==> He Was Thrown Out of Helsinki Press Conference

Sam Husseini sheds new light on what occurred at the
Helsinki summit Monday when he was forcibly ejected
from the Trump-Putin news conference. Husseini, a
senior analyst with the Institute for Public Accuracy,
writes: “I came to Helsinki to ask Donald Trump and
Vladimir Putin questions about the threat of nuclear
weapons and to distribute an open letter about the need
for secure elections and true national security.
Instead, I was dragged out of their press conference
before it even began and into a Finnish jail.”
Husseini’s piece explains the significance of the small
sign he was holding — “Nuclear Weapon Ban Treaty” —
when accosted and ejected by police. And he lists some
key questions that were left unasked at the news
conference. Husseini’s article, “I Came as a Journalist
to Ask Important Questions,” appears in The Nation
magazine. Contact Husseini at samhusseini@gmail.com;
@samhusseini or executive director of the Institute for
Public Accuracy Norman Solomon at
solomonprogressive@gmail.com

2. ==> GOPs in Congress Need to Step In

President Trump continues to face fall-out from the
Helsinki news conference where he said Russia AND the
US were both to blame for the 2016 hacking of the US
presidential election. Former Republican congressional
spokesperson Kurt Bardella says the statement is
ridiculous and that Robert Mueller’s indictment of 12
Russians leaves no room for interpretation. “We now
have specific details on how the ‘Russian Federation
operated a military intelligence agency’ that ‘engaged
in cyber operations that involved the staged releases
of documents stolen through computer intrusions’ in
‘large-scale cyber operations to interfere with the
2016 U.S. presidential election.’” Bardella asks, “How
much longer will congressional Republicans risk
allowing Putin to determine our elections?” Kurt
Bardella is a media strategist who previously worked as
a spokesperson for Breitbart News, the Daily Caller,
Rep. Darrell Issa, Rep. Brian Bilbray and Senator
Olympia Snowe. Contact him at
kb@endeavorstrategies.com; @kurtbardella

3. ==> Got Pre-Existing Conditions? Here’s What Happens
Next

The Trump Administration continues to try and dismantle
the Affordable Care Act. One goal is to eliminate ACA
provisions that currently ban insurance companies from
denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions or
from charging higher rates based on their health
status. “The Administration’s decision to oppose
existing federal law imperils millions of patients
nationwide,” says National Patient Advocate Foundation
(NPAF) CEO Alan Balch, PhD. “Not only does it bring
back uncertainty to individuals’ lives, it also
destabilizes the entire marketplace, driving up costs
for everyone.” He adds, ‘We have long worked with
patients for whom meaningful health coverage was not
possible. They were low-income, sick or had multiple
conditions. Each day they lived with the constant worry
of a health crisis leading to financial ruin. By
allowing insurers to discriminate against people with
preexisting conditions, the Administration will thrust
millions of Americans back into that life.” NPAF
represents patients nationwide in support of access to
affordable, quality health care. as the advocacy
affiliate of the Patient Advocate Foundation. Contact

4. ==> Funnyman Jim Gaffigan Gets Serious

Jim Gaffigan gets very personal in his latest stand-up.
Using his signature everyman humor to deal with the
unthinkable, Gaffigan proves once again why he’s been
called the “King of Clean comedy.” In the new special
Noble Ape, he tackles the medical crisis that hit his
wife and family this year, which almost led to his
retirement. “Finding the humor in Jeannie’s brain tumor
was not only therapeutic, but I soon realized it
resonated with audiences. We’ve all been in those
moments of medical crisis and it’s good to laugh about
it,” says Gaffigan. And Jim is certainly not retiring!
There’s a lot to talk about. He co-stars in the
upcoming Amazon movie Troupe Zero and appears in nine
feature films this year including several dramatic
roles! Noble Ape was recorded live at the Wilbur
Theatre in Boston, MA. It is available now on Amazon,
iTunes and many cable and satellite services. Contact

5. ==> If You Want to Be Happy Be a Conservative

“Would it surprise you to learn that if you were
picking a governing philosophy based only on personal
satisfaction, many would choose to be conservative?”
asks media critic Kristi Stone Hamrick. She cites
several studies including a recent one at USC using
five data sets that include representative samples from
16 countries, which found that conservatives found
greater meaning in life and as a result were happier.
The perks cover everything from a potentially better
sex life to the ability to lose a few pounds. And while
nobody can say exactly why, Kristi says it may be
because conservatives take the historical perspective
that things go up and down, meaning any setback is not
the end of the line. She adds, “Can politics make you
happy? Hard to say, especially given today’s political
turmoil and division, but apparently leaning right can
give you an advantage, no matter who happens to be in
office.” Kristi Stone Hamrick is a media consultant who
writes for Fox News and the Daily Caller, and other
outlets. Contact her at @KristiSHamrick.

6. ==> Ferguson Fire Rages in California

Firefighters are struggling to contain a deadly
wildfire that more than doubled in size on Monday,
charring nearly 9,300 acres of land near Yosemite
National Park in California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Wildfires destroy landscapes both residential and
commercial, devastate literally millions of acres of
wildlife, and upend the economy. Last year alone,
California suffered $160 billion worth of damage.
Californian entrepreneur Jim Moseley has seen firsthand
the devastating effect of these fires, and will discuss
the effects of the fires, as well as a new technology
being used to fire-proof new constructions, a material
repurposed from a blanket designed by NASA. Featured on
the May cover of Malibu Times magazine, Moseley, a
Grammy-nominated trombonist (Google “Moseley Trombone”
and enjoy!) can be reached at 818-486-4662; and

7. ==> He Says Media is Wrong: Renewable Energy is NOT
the Best Option

Most of us citizens go about our daily routines not
thinking too deeply about energy and fuel emissions.
We just obey the pollution laws and try to use popular
media information to do our bit for green lifestyle and
eco-friendly choices. Unfortunately, some of the advice
we get from our media is wrong. That’s especially true
about the merits of renewable energy. A fascinating
case in point is the updated China policy regarding
national energy additions through year 2050. With
little media attention, Chinese leaders are de-
emphasizing their own solar and wind construction (but
not activity in world export markets), and replacing
renewables with a vastly expanded nuclear fleet. Their
new policy is considered necessary for dealing with the
disastrous state of their environment, especially air
and water quality. Why China’s change of heart? And
what are the implications for U.S. planning? Tim
Maloney has the answers in his book “Roadmap to
Nowhere.” Contact him at t.maloney@bex.net

8. ==> How to Ask for a Raise and Get It!

Everyone wants to get paid more money. But most people
are too shy when it comes to asking their boss for a
raise. “No more!” says Jean-Paul Gravel, one of the top
performance coaches in the world. He’ll show you how to
overcome what he calls your “intimidation threshold”
and get the raise you deserve. Gravel will coach your
listeners through every step of the process. He’ll also
share why preparing what to say to your boss is a waste
of time until you first rebuild your own “inner
operating system.” He’ll take you through 3 simple
steps which will completely raise your confidence,
conviction and persuasiveness so that your boss sees
you in a whole new way. Gravel has spent 15 years
showing people from all walks of life including high
achievers, entrepreneurs and pro athletes how to unlock

9. ==> Using ‘Girl Power’ to Crack the Glass Ceiling

The #MeToo movement has afforded women more personal
power than ever before. But they still have a long way
to go when it comes to cracking the glass ceiling,
especially in creative fields. Award-winning author and
filmmaker Kailin Gow has been on the frontlines of the
women’s empowerment movement for years, and can share
how she overcame discrimination and harassment to
achieve major success. “Doors were not open to me when
I became a pioneer in digital book publishing and an
indie female filmmaker,” she says. “Less than 10
percent of directors are female. I don’t want my
daughter and other girls to grow up facing the same
discrimination I did.” Kailin will share how she
overcame numerous obstacles, and how we can empower
young women for success. She is the founder of
Sparklesoup Inc., an internationally recognized, multi-
award-winning bestselling author and director/filmmaker
who has sold over 5.5 million books. Her latest book is
“Kailin Gow’s Go Girl Guide.” Contact her at

10. ==> Why Women Need to Move on from #MeToo

Powerful men have had their careers destroyed by the
#MeToo Movement as courageous women have come forward
to tell their long-hidden stories of sexual harassment
and assault. Despite that success—or perhaps because of
it—Dr. Dee Carroll says, “”Now that we have awareness,
we need to move beyond it and help women get on with
their productive, empowered lives. Awareness is one
thing, but the key is to move from agony to achieving
something great.” An expert on emotional emancipation,
Dr. Dee says the movement has solved one problem only
to leave the most important one hanging: how can women
move from acknowledging these incidents to forgiving
themselves and their perpetrators? Dr. Dee can talk
about ways women can achieve this crucial inner
healing, and why this is the final stage of #MeToo for
women with and without a voice. She has been on CNN and
testified before the Senate, and is the author of “The
Emotional Emancipation: Step into Your Freedom,
Reinvent Your Challenges and Move On.” Reach her at

11. ==> 7 Deadly Mistakes Buyers Make with Life
Insurance

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

14. ==> How Sugar Feeds Cancer

When Anthony Randle’s wife Jessica was diagnosed with
stage four breast cancer, her doctors told her she
could eat whatever she wanted while undergoing
aggressive treatments. But after 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

16. ==> ‘Who Shot Ya?’- The ‘90s Weren’t All Fun

The 1990s seemed like a fun era, the hip clothes,
music, games, and lifestyle, so much so, that many
people are throwing ‘90s parties now to remember the
best of that decade. Although it is great to highlight
the fun from the era, Nita Wiggins says we shouldn’t
forget the tragedies. Racial tensions were heightened
in the ‘90s and America was defined by racism. Memories
of horrific experiences and cops killing innocent
people hasn’t changed much today. If you simply scroll
through the news you will find at least one article
describing a violent encounter based on race. Statista
states 325 black people were shot and killed by
officers in the U.S. in 2017-2018. Nita Wiggins
described her own racial encounters in the 1990s in her
upcoming book “Civil Rights Baby,” and how those
experiences led her to create a program called the Race
Relations Reconstruction. Contact her to hear why
history should not repeat itself and how we can make

While half of all marriages end in divorce, pastor and
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. A godly marriage excels at compromise and
glories in selflessness.” 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

Bob Lichtenbert, author of “Making Meaning” and the
abridged “Maximizing Meaning.” Bob’s insights can help

20. ==> How The 12 Steps Can Help You to Lead Your Best
Life

Most people believe that the 12 Steps of Alcoholics
Anonymous just apply to addiction. But David L. Peters,
a scientist and devout Catholic, shares how the
principles can help anyone lead a full, happy life. “I
started and led the Roman Catholic movement of Cursillo
for 15 years, and worked in the 12-step recovery
program for 20 years,” he says. “I have modified the 12
Steps to reach a broader scope of our world.” David

early age. At 84, he has had a very successful career
as an engineer, 18 patents, has had a loving marriage
of 57 years, and has written his first book. He

1. ==> Comedian Jim Gaffigan is Getting Serious

Jim Gaffigan gets very personal in his latest stand-up.
Using his signature everyman humor to deal with the
unthinkable, Gaffigan proves once again why he’s been
called the “King of Clean comedy.” In his new special
Noble Ape, he tackles the medical crisis that hit his
wife and family this year, which almost led to his
retirement. “Finding the humor in Jeannie’s brain tumor
was not only therapeutic, but I soon realized it
resonated with audiences. We’ve all been in those
moments of medical crisis and it’s good to laugh about
it,” says Gaffigan. And Jim is certainly not retiring!
There’s a lot to talk about. He co-stars in the
upcoming Amazon movie Troupe Zero and appears in nine
feature films this year including several dramatic
roles! Noble Ape was recorded live at the Wilbur
Theatre in Boston, MA. It is available this month on
Amazon, iTunes and many cable and satellite services.

2. ==> Trump & GOP: Treasonous On Russia?

Professor David Rothkopf says the indictments of 12
Russian military officers accused of engaging in a
coordinated attack on the United States are a vital
reminder that the Mueller investigation cannot be seen
as a political issue. He says, “This is an
extraordinary moment. It is without equal, not only in
American history but in modern history. A hostile
foreign power intervened in our election to help elect
a man president who has since actively served their
interests and has defended them at every turn. That the
president is abetted in his aid for the Russians —
again, in the midst of this ongoing attack — by the
leadership of the Republican Party makes the situation
all the more extraordinary and dangerous. As
Republicans seek to undermine the investigation, they
serve Russia as directly as if they were officers of
the GRU. Some now reportedly seek to impeach Rosenstein
on trumped up charges. To attack one of our national
defense leaders as we are being attacked, and to do so
to benefit our foreign adversary, is textbook treason.”
David Rothkopf visiting professor at Columbia
University’s School of International and Public Affairs
and visiting scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace. He has been a longtime contributor
to Foreign Policy and was CEO and editor of the FP
Group. Contact Meshal DeSantis at (202) 939-2233;

3. ==> NATO Allies Upset: So What?

Critics say President Trump’s boorish blindsides
against NATO are leading to a destruction of the 70-
year alliance. Steve Levy says that’s nonsense. “There
is one, and only one, central issue as to whether NATO
continues to be a relevant force: Will each member
commit to defending any other member if attacked by a
foreign hostile power? So long as that commitment
remains strong, all the other spats amount to squat.”
He adds, “We know what America does for Europe. But
what does Europe really do for America? Sure, they
share intelligence with our CIA in the fight against
global terrorism, but that’s done for their national
self-interests. Let’s be real; this is primarily a one-
way alliance. A potential attack against America is not
deterred by any pushback that could come from the
anemic European nations. The only deterrent that
matters is the one provided by America for the
protection of our European friends. European critics of
America should never forget that.” Steve Levy is a
former New York State Assemblyman & County Executive,
author, political commentator & radio host. Contact him

4. ==> Former Obama Advisor, Dan Pfeiffer

For your listeners in despair over the current occupant
of the White House, former top Obama advisor Dan
Pfeiffer offers hope that all is not lost. Invite
Pfeiffer to share candid, behind-the-scenes stories of
how the Obama White House worked, as well as his
opinion on the state of politics today and how to move
the country forward. Dan Pfeiffer does a co-host of the
popular political podcast Pod Save America. One of
Barack Obama’s longest serving advisors, he was White
House Director of Communications under President Obama
(2009-2013) and Senior Adviser to the President
(2013-2015). His new book is “Yes We (Still) Can:
Politics in the Age of Obama, Twitter and Trump.”

5. ==> France’s World Cup is a Win for Immigrants

Peniel Joseph says France’s electrifying 4-2 World Cup
win over Croatia represents a victory for Africa and
immigrants everywhere. “The French team features no
less than 15 players with African roots, including the
dynamic 19-year-old forward Kylian Mbappe, who is
descended from an Algerian mother and Cameroonian
father. The team’s pan-African make-up goes a long way
toward helping the world — including European soccer
fans who have chanted ugly racist slogans against black
players — reimagine the most popular sport on the
planet and what it means to be a citizen.” Peniel
Joseph is the Barbara Jordan Chair in ethics and
political values and the founding director of the
Center for the Study of Race and Democracy at the LBJ
School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at
Austin, where he is also a professor of history.

6. ==> Are Politicians Ruining Accountability for the
Rest of Us?

Business consultant Bonnie Sussman-Versace first began
noticing the decline in accountability in the workplace
shortly after corporations started laying off thousands
of workers to boost profits for shareholders. By the
time Bill Clinton took office, many of those workers
were trying to explain to their kids why it was
acceptable for the leader of the free world to have
affairs and lie about them and still get elected. Bring
Bonnie on your show to discuss the disappearance of
accountability—the idea that the buck stops here—and
why it is the #1 problem in business today. She’ll say
that many employees believe their company’s problems
stem from poor communication when the real culprit is
that people are losing trust in each other because
their actions do not match their words. She’ll also
talk about the role our education system plays with its
everybody gets a trophy mentality. More than merely
shining a light on this huge problem, Bonnie can point
to solutions we can all embrace to make ourselves
accountable for the words that come out of our mouth.
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

7. ==> Libertarian: Brett Kavanaugh Isn’t So Bad

Many on the left are worried about a more conservative
Supreme Court now that President Trump has nominated
Brett Kavanaugh to take the place of retiring Justice
Anthony Kennedy. The CATO Institute’s Trevor Burrus
says those concerns are reasonable, but they shouldn’t
be apocalyptic. “The reality is that gay marriage isn’t
going anywhere, Roe v. Wade will probably not be
overturned, and a court with a Justice Kavanaugh could
help rein in an executive branch that has become too
powerful.” What positives might we see from a more
conservative court? Burrus says, “For one, a more
conservative court would rein in an out-of-control
administrative state that empowers the executive branch
to make sweeping changes in American lives.” He adds,
“And a more conservative court is likely to have less
patience for possible Trump shenanigans domestically
(although foreign policy is a different story).” Trevor
Burrus is a research fellow in the Cato Institute’s
Robert Levy Center for Constitutional Studies and
managing editor of the Cato Supreme Court Review.

8. ==> Has #MeToo Ruined Dating?

The “Me Too Movement” went viral via social media as a
way for women to speak up about sexual assault and
harassment. But many men are now confused and trying to
grasp the “new normal” of dating and relating to women
in the workplace without getting into trouble. “There
are definitely some ways in which the ‘Me Too Movement’
has missed the boat,” says Jennifer Cochern, LCPC. The
movement has created a grey area that we are having a
difficult time navigating. Jennifer, a seasoned
counselor and expert on setting and keeping healthy
boundaries, can help your audience unpack how they are
really feeling about the #MeToo Movement without
judgement or bias! Jennifer Cochern, LCPC is a writer
and counselor. She has worked with hundreds of clients
promoting personal growth and healthier relationship
skills. Contact Jennifer Cochern at (208) 571-2511;

9. ==> Why You Should Get a Tan this Summer

We’ve all been told to slather on sunscreen to protect
our skin from the damaging rays of the sun, but Dr. Jim
Roach says we’ve got it all wrong; the sun is good for
us and could even prevent cancer! Dr. Roach will
discuss why he tells his patients to get a dark tan in
the summer, how much sun is safe, the potential dangers
of sunscreen, and even how to prevent wrinkles from the
sun. He’ll also discuss a new study that found that
higher levels of vitamin D reduced the risk of breast
cancer by 82%, and how vitamin D can block estrogen and
increase testosterone, which could help reduce
autoimmune disorders, anxiety and waist size and boost
libido and confidence. Jim Roach, MD, a leading
integrative practitioner who has appeared on numerous
radio and TV programs, is a speaker, consultant,
educator, researcher, and widely sought clinician with
patients from across the country His latest book,
“Vital Strategies in Cancer,” will be released this
fall. Contact him at (859) 846-4453 (office);
jproach@aol.com

10. ==> What those House-Flipping Shows Never Tell You

It sounds like a great idea – buy a house, pour a few
thousand dollars at it, then sell it for monster
profit. But when the market reverses or corrects
itself, buyers bail, loans are called in, money becomes
scarce, and flipping proves a flop. Bestselling author
and successful property manager Dan Lieberman says that
owning and managing rental properties is as close to a
market-proof investment in real estate as you can get.
He’ll discuss his experience during boom and bust
markets, and how, when he used retail models for
customer service, he transformed undesirable properties
– and neighborhoods – into sought-after addresses.
Dan’s previous books have been featured in the New York
Times, the LA Times, and other major-market
publications. He has appeared on CBS This Morning and
CNN. Dan can be reached at (510) 867-7424;
DLieberman@MilestoneCA.com

11. ==> California is Burning!

Wildfire season started off with a bang this year, with
upwards of 60 wildfires ruining more than the 4thof
July festivities thousands of Americans had planned.
Wildfires destroy landscapes both residential and
commercial, devastate literally millions of acres of
wildlife, and upend the economy. Last year alone,
California suffered $160 billion worth of damage.
Californian entrepreneur Jim Moseley has seen firsthand
the devastating effect of these fires, and will discuss
the effects of the fires, as well as a new technology
being used to fire-proof new constructions, a material
repurposed from a blanket designed by NASA. Featured on
the May cover of Malibu Times magazine, Moseley, a
Grammy-nominated trombonist (Google “Moseley Trombone”
and enjoy!) can be reached at (818) 486-4662; and

13. ==> What Your Insurance Company is Hiding from You

14. ==> Is Peace of Mind Possible in Today’s Crazy
World?

Many of your listeners are nearly at their breaking
point. For them, hiding under the bed, plugging their
ears and shunning all news are starting to look like
sensible options. But wait. Dr. Jeanne Sanner says,
“Don’t put the blanket over your head quite yet.” She
says she has found a formula that guarantees peace and
joy when followed step by step. Best of all, it works
no matter what is going on in the world around you. Dr.
Sanner will share the steps on air, helping your
audience to refresh their lives and reboot their
optimism. She is the author of “Finding Unconditional
Love a Little Peace at a Time.” She has a doctorate in
spiritual studies, a master’s in education and a
bachelor’s in psychology. Reach her at (949) 460-9450;

15. ==> 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.

16. ==> Pop Quiz! How’s Your Medical Vocabulary?

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

17. ==> Is Your Underwear Making You Stupid?

Millions of women wear bras, shapewear, corsets and
other undergarments to look better in their clothes. If
you can trim a few inches with a waist cincher, why
not? Because when you wear anything that restricts your
body like that, you also restrict oxygen to the brain
which can cause a host of problems including mental
acuity! Even more startling—your kids’ backpack (and
the one you carried as a kid!) can cause even more
damage… and it can last a lifetime. “Heavy school
backpacks are a national crime that has sentenced two
generations to low brain oxygen,” says Bob Prichard of
the Somax Institute. Prichard will explain the dangers
of low brain oxygen (poor school and work performance,
trouble concentrating, depression, obesity and much
more), how he discovered the connection between chest
expansion and brain oxygen, and most importantly, how
to reverse the damage, even years later. You’ll hear
amazing stories of raises, promotions, better grades
and mental improvement after treatment, and your
listeners will learn a simple way to measure their
breathing range—and their kids’—using an item you
already have at home. Bob Prichard is president of the
Somax Institute and author of “Are You Robbing Your
Brain of Oxygen?” Contact him at (415) 435-9880 (CA);

18. ==> Funny Questions Little Boys Ask about Sex

Do mommies poop out babies? Do spiders move into a
woman’s vagina after she has a baby? If I want to have
children someday do my wife and I have to have sex?
Little boys love to ask questions about sex and some of
them are so outrageous that you can’t help but laugh.
No one knows this better than Diane Auten, author of
“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. Your audience will learn that kids are
paying attention to what they hear and see—including TV
commercials for Viagra. Diane frequently speaks to
parents about communicating more effectively with their
kids. Reach her at (805) 440-6532;

Summer is the time to head out into the great outdoors
and enjoy nature. But somehow it doesn’t seem so
natural to slather on sunscreen and bug spray. Invite
Jen Coken to share DIY recipes for everything from bug
repellant to after-sun care. “Did you know that
lavender has been proven to be as effective as DEET at
keeping the bugs away? Stop buying all of those
expensive products filled with chemicals and make your
own at home!” Coken will share recipes using common
household ingredients you probably already have on hand
including witch hazel and essential oils like lavender

1. ==> Trump’s Trade War Talk: Just Walk Away

The Senate is pushing back on President Trump’s tariff
and trade policies while he’s in Europe battling over
the same issues with allies. In an op-ed for Project
Syndicate, Dani Rodrik writes, “Trump may well want a
trade war, but he cannot have it on his own. A trade
war requires other economies to retaliate and escalate.
And there are compelling reasons why they should not do
so.” He adds, “Trump’s protectionism may yet result in
a global trade war, with eventual economic consequences
that are far more serious than the self-harm it entails
at present. But if that happens, it will be as much the
result of miscalculation and overreaction on the part
of Europe and China as of Trump’s folly.” Dani Rodrik
is professor of international political economy at
Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of
Government. He is the author of “The Globalization
Paradox: Democracy and the Future of the World
Economy,” “Economics Rules: The Rights and Wrongs of
the Dismal Science,” and, most recently, “Straight Talk
on Trade: Ideas for a Sane World Economy.” Contact him
at dani_rodrik@harvard.edu or @rodrikdani

2. ==> We’re Already in a Trade War: How America Can
Win

The tit-for-tat exchange of tariffs and threats between
the U.S. and its trading partners is much in the news,
but we’re already in a trade war, one we’re losing
badly, says attorney James Stuber. Author of the recent
book, “What if Things Were Made in America Again,”
Stuber explains our foolish policies, like postal rates
making it cheaper to mail a parcel from China than from

colony — selling them farm goods and crude oil in
exchange for sophisticated manufactured products. In a

the real solution lies with American consumers buying
things made in American communities. James A. Stuber is

3. ==> Trump and NATO: Same Old Argument Minus
Politeness

President Trump is telling NATO allies the U.S. won’t
be the group’s piggy bank. He’s trying to get other
member nations to contribute more funds but Elisabeth
Braw of the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA)
says Trump’s not the first president to do so. “Lots of
American presidents and administrations have made that
point and pleaded with allies to increase spending.
They just did it more politely.” She says, “I think
Trump does have a point, but I think the way in which
he’s making his point is very unhelpful, because he’s
so unpopular here in Europe. If he bullies European
leaders into spending more domestically, I think it
would be foolish for them to spend as much as he wants
them to because they will be seen as essentially just
obeying his commands.” The Center for European Policy
Analysis is a non-profit, non-partisan, public policy
research institute. Elisabeth Braw is an Adjunct Fellow
at CEPA and a senior consultant at the London
headquarters of Control Risks, the global risk
consulting firm. She was previously a journalist, most
recently with the Christian Science Monitor. Contact

4. ==> Libertarian: Brett Kavanaugh Isn’t So Bad

5. ==> Is Your Bra or Girdle Making You Stupid?

Millions of women wear bras, shapewear, corsets and
other undergarments to look better in their clothes. If
you can trim a few inches, why
not? Because when you wear anything that restricts your
body like that, you also restrict oxygen to the brain
which can cause a host of problems including mental
acuity! Even more startling—your kids’ backpack (and
the one you carried as a kid!) can cause even more
damage… and it can last a lifetime. “Heavy school
backpacks are a national crime that has sentenced two
generations to low brain oxygen,” says Bob Prichard of
the Somax Institute. Prichard will explain the dangers
of low brain oxygen (poor school and work performance,
trouble concentrating, depression, obesity and much
more), how he discovered the connection between chest
expansion and brain oxygen, and most importantly, how
to reverse the damage, even years later. You’ll hear
amazing stories of raises, promotions, better grades
and mental improvement after treatment, and your
listeners will learn a simple way to measure their
breathing range—and their kids’—using an item you
already have at home. Bob Prichard is president of the
Somax Institute and author of “Are You Robbing Your
Brain of Oxygen?” Contact him at (415) 435-9880 (CA);

6. ==> Open Letter: “Deal with Russia Now”

Controversies over “Russiagate” and U.S.-Russian
relations took a new turn yesterday as The Nation
magazine published a rare open letter from an array of
prominent Americans calling for “concrete steps … to
ease tensions between the nuclear superpowers.” Titled
“Common Ground: For Secure Elections and True National
Security,” the open letter was signed by Gloria
Steinem; Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg;
Pulitzer Prize-winning writers Alice Walker and Viet
Thanh Nguyen; former New Mexico governor and ambassador
to the United Nations Bill Richardson; Phil Donahue;
former White House counsel John Dean; The Nation
publisher and editor Katrina vanden Heuvel; Boston
University professor emeritus Andrew Bacevich; and more
than a dozen others. The letter says, “We must reach
common ground,” the letter says, “to safeguard common
interests — taking steps to protect the nation’s
elections and to prevent war between the world’s two
nuclear superpowers.” Contact Katrina vanden Heuvel at

7. ==> Psychologist: Thai Boys May Not Be Scarred

While many psychologists debate the long-term effects
on the teens rescued from a Thai cave, Frank Farley,
Ph.D. says they may not be as ‘scarred’ as many fear
given their age and the fact that they were trapped
together as a team. “Perhaps we may see post-traumatic
growth, not PTSD, where these boys will be strengthened
by this experience, so that future risks or challenges
will be more readily dealt with psychologically and
overcome, invoking the old adage ‘What doesn’t kill you
makes you stronger.’ If they could handle this
experience they can handle anything! We focus too much
on PTSD in these unusual situations, and not enough on
the positive psychology that can come from them.”
Farley is a professor at Temple University and a former
president of the American Psychological Association.

8. ==> Separated Children Will Never Forget

Like many people, Linda Blackmer is horrified by the
Trump administration’s policy of separating children
from their parents who fled their homeland for a better
life. And as a social worker and victim of childhood
trauma Linda can shed light on what it is like for the
children taken away from parents and placed in camps
where they do not have the love and security of their
families. “Loss of a parent to death, abandonment or
separation is one of the most heart-wrenching
experiences a child can endure,” Linda says. She will
also say that our government is teaching these children
that the world is an unsafe place and inflicting wounds
that will take a lifetime to heal. Meanwhile, their
parents sit in jail feeling guilt, worry, despair,
panic and their own trauma that will no doubt be passed
on to future generations. Linda Blackmer is a pen name
for the licensed social worker who wrote “My Father’s
Eyes: A Story of Stolen Lives.” Reach her at (505)

9. ==> Summer Shouldn’t Mean Going Hungry

For many American children, summer vacation means
sunshine, hot days and freedom from homework and early
bedtimes. But for millions of kids and their families,
it also brings fear. How are they going to eat during
those three months? Food activist and historian Julia
Hudson-Richards says tens of millions of children rely
on government assistance to eat lunch for nine months
of the year. And their need doesn’t go away when the
last bell rings in June. “Low-income parents often
struggle to feed their kids during the summer. Families
who rely on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
benefits don’t get extra money just because school is
out, and low-wage jobs don’t come with a summer bump in
the paycheck. Some may even decide it doesn’t make
sense to keep working ? especially if the cost of child
care for younger kids negates the income their job (or
jobs) brings in.” She’ll discuss issues that contribute
to the problem and ways to get kids and families the
food they need. Julia Hudson-Richards studies the
environment, food and the people who produce it and
teaches at Penn State University. Contact her at

10. ==> Got Vacation Plans and a Tax Problem? Don’t
Pack Yet

If you owe the IRS a significant amount of money and
haven’t made arrangements to deal with the issue, don’t
pack your bags for vacation just yet. Tax and financial
expert Abby Eisenkraft warns travelers with tax issues,
“Your passport can be confiscated!” She’ll discuss what
the IRS is doing, how they work with the State
Department, and how you can get help… before you head
to the airport. Frequently quoted by the press, she is
one of the leading experts on IRS problems and how to
avoid them. Eisenkraft is the author of “101 Ways to

11. ==> Tips to Destress a Special Needs Vacation

It’s stressful enough planning a family vacation, but
when a loved one has Down Syndrome, Autism, or another
developmental disability, it can be downright
overwhelming. For help in planning a trip and how to
navigate once there, invite Deb Shumard, director of
Beyond Our Boundaries, to share tips on making
reservations, finding accessible transportation and

12. ==> Enjoy Your Summer Vacation — Even with Family!

Sun, fun, and quality time with the family isn’t too
much to ask of a family vacation, is it? Unfortunately,
it is. Vacations can be a lot of pressure; between the
forced togetherness, new environments, and non-stop
activities to keep everyone entertained, it’s no wonder
that moms and dads return home more exhausted than
ever. Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith advocates for a mindful,
vacation state-of-mind that lasts all year long. When
parents slow down the schedule, dial back expectations,
and learn to listen to their children and each other,
they’ll find it easier to enjoy family-time and return
back from vacation relaxed, refreshed, and recharged.
Dr. Saundra will reveal the seven kinds of rest that
will rejuvenate exhausted moms and dads, and actually
make family vacation the quality together-time it’s
meant to be. Dr. Saundra’s advice and expertise has
been featured in Woman’s Day and Prevention magazines.

13. ==> Why More Wild Animals Are Attacking Innocent
People

In recent weeks, we’ve heard about hikers, bikers and
campers being confronted/attacked and even killed by
mountain lions. Plus, there are often stories about
destructive home invasions by bears, children being
attacked by coyotes, and other brazen wild creatures
wandering into civilization. Nature expert Bruce
Hemming, author of “4 Seconds Until Impact: The
Skyrocketing Attacks by Predators on Humans,” says
growing populations of animals (no longer threatened or
endangered) present the problems. Laws that limited
hunting and trapping have done their job too well. Now
it’s often innocent human beings in peril. Interview
Hemming to learn how we can revamp safety programs to
protect everyone, especially people. He will explore
on-air: Which wilderness creatures have rebounded
most. What compels many animals to attack people or
invade human settings. How can we update animal
conservation laws? How unsafe is the great outdoors?

14. ==> As of Today, there are 60 Active Wildfires in
the US

Wildfire season started off with a bang this year, with
upwards of 60 wildfires ruining more than the 4th of
July festivities thousands of Americans had planned.
Wildfires destroy landscapes both residential and
commercial, devastate literally millions of acres of
wildlife, and upend the economy. Last year alone,
California suffered $160 billion worth of damage.
Californian entrepreneur Jim Moseley has seen firsthand
the devastating effect of these fires, and will discuss
the effects of the fires, as well as a new technology
being used to fire-proof new constructions, a material

Forget trying to balance your personal and work lives,
says author and business coach Paula Black. “Work and
personal lives are never in balance,” she asserts. “You
can’t compartmentalize your life… but you can work it
so that the two exist in harmony.” Black will discuss
what to do when work success feels empty, how to make
decisions about career and life that work for you, and
why everyone should look for their own personal North
Star. “Take the time to look inward to find what fuels
you. What gets you up in the morning? Who is the most
important person on the planet to you? The answers can
inspire you to find your true calling.” Paula Black has
advised lawyers, accountants, financial advisors, media

2. ==> Trump’s Court Pick Will Affect America for the Better

Though it’s always a momentous occasion when there’s a
vacancy on the Supreme Court, since it happens so
infrequently, Christopher Reid says the country may not
change as drastically as some Democrats believe. “The
Supreme Court will take a more conservative,
originalist turn, but this will not be a departure from
the Court’s direction of the past few years.” Reid
says, “Liberals worry that a conservative, originalist
appointee would shake up the Court, but that would mean
that the new justice would be a judicial activist. This
is contrary to the tenets of originalism.” He adds,
“This should not be a cause for concern for Democrats
who believe the Constitution is a set of rules that are
changed by the people and not the courts. Sticking to
the Constitution is not a bad thing.” Christopher Reid,
an attorney, has worked for the Alabama Policy
Institute and the Heritage Foundation, and House
Republican Whip Roy Blunt. He provides political

‘scarred’ as many fear given their age and the fact
that they were trapped together as a team. “Death
anxiety is probably very low or even non-existent.
Perhaps we may see post-traumatic growth, not PTSD,
where these boys will be strengthened by this

more readily dealt with psychologically and overcome,

4. ==> Saturday is International Nude Day

A free cruise is hard to turn down. Just ask Carla
Feagan, a self-described former extreme introvert, who
accepted a ticket for a cruise that turned out to be
more revealing than she expected. Feagan found herself
sharing a ship with 2,000 naked people and elected to
go with the flow. And, she says, if she had it to do
all over again, she would! In time for International
Nude Day, this “accidental nudist” can talk about what
really happens on a naked ten-day cruise, a topic sure
to launch dozens of questions. Ask her: Did the captain
and crew wear clothes? What was the one event that
required clothing? What surprising things did she learn
about nudists? Carla Feagan’s memoir, “A Life Worth
Living,” discusses her cruise ship experience but also
her struggles to overcome childhood abuse, depression
and anxiety. With only a limited education, Carla rose
to acting CFO of an airline and a hospital, owned two
businesses, and managed Microsoft partner channels
internationally. In 2015, she quit her 9-to-5 job to
experience her own year-long Eat, Pray, Love journey to
21 countries. Contact her at (707) 969-7972;

6. ==> Are Politicians Ruining Accountability for the Rest of Us?

Business consultant Bonnie Sussman-Versace first began
noticing the decline in accountability in the workplace
shortly after corporations started laying off thousands
of workers to boost profits for shareholders. By the
time Bill Clinton took office, many of those workers
were trying to explain to their kids why it was
acceptable for the leader of the free world to have
affairs and lie about them and still get elected. Bring
Bonnie on your show to discuss the disappearance of
accountability—the idea that the buck stops here—and
why it is the #1 problem in business today. She’ll say
that many employees believe their company’s problems
stem from poor communication when the real culprit is
that people are losing trust in each other because
their actions do not match their words. She’ll also
talk about the role our education system plays with its
‘everybody gets a trophy’ mentality. 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

7. ==> The Growing Assault on Private Property

Tom DeWeese says the government—at every level—is
trying to reorganize U.S. society through the
destruction of private property. Invite this expert on
private property rights to explain how free enterprise,
private property ownership and individual liberty is
under attack by a political force that, while out in
the open for all to see, is little understood and
mostly ignored. He says, private, non-governmental
organizations (NGOs), city planners and federal
agencies have teamed up specifically to change society
under the banner of sustainable development. “This
movement is gaining power in every state, county, and
community under the false threat of Environmental
Armageddon, demanding that we completely reorganize our
economic system, our representative form of government,
and our individual lifestyle,” DeWeese says. Tom
DeWeese is president of the American Policy Center, a
grassroots action and education foundation promoting
free enterprise and limited government regulations over
commerce and individuals. His latest book is

Property and Individuals.” Contact him at (540)

8. ==> Police Shootings, Immigration Crisis: You Need to be ‘Switched On’

Special government agent Eric Caron’s twenty-five-year
career with Homeland Security, Interpol and the
Department of Treasury has given him an insider’s
perspective on the current conversation surrounding our
growing crisis at the border and the rising tensions
over the shooting of unarmed black men. Rather than
take the easy road of toeing the party line and obeying
political correctness protocols, Agent Caron truly
pulls back the curtain and gives listeners the flipside
of the story—the perspective of a longtime law
enforcement agent and humanitarian. Above all, the
agent and author reminds us all that we must remain
Switched On if we are to successfully navigate these
uncertain times and truly understand the nuanced issues
constantly bombarding us in the media. Special Agent
Eric Caron (retired) specialized for twenty-five years

contestant. And she is not happy with the new version
of the competition, including the elimination of the
swimsuit contest. “Being physically fit is one of the
standards of excellence,” Jane says. “Day by day, 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 her latest “Rhinestones on My

Everyone agrees Americans are too plugged-in, too
distracted by the internet, too tired. Could this have

Prince Serge Obolensky was known as the “Prince of New
York.” Born a White Russian prince in 1890, he married
a Russian princess, escaped to England from the
Bolsheviks with a price on his head, immigrated to the
US with his second wife Alice Astor – an American
princess – in 1924, and reigned supreme at the St.
Regis Hotel in Manhattan, working for Vincent Astor who
asked him to help restore the grand hotel beyond its
former glory. In 1931, at the age of 53, Serge joined
the Commandos under “Wild Bill” Donovan and completed
two successful missions parachuting into Nazi-occupied
Europe. Ivan Obolensky, Serge’s grandson, has fond
memories of meeting his legendary grandfather for lunch
at the St. Regis and has many amazing, true stories to
relate, not only about his grandfather but also the
Astors and American aristocratic life at that time.

1. ==> Border Politics and the Abuse of History

Military historian and political commentator Victor
Davis Hanson says something is missing from news
coverage of the Trump administration separating
immigrant children from their parents. “The media
outrage usually does not include examination of why the
Trump administration is enforcing existing laws that it
inherited from the Bush and Obama administrations that
at any time could have been changed by both Democratic
and Republican majorities in Congress.” He says there’s
also little coverage “…of the seeming unconcern for the
safety of children by some would-be asylum seekers who
illegally cross the border, rather than first applying
legally at a U.S. consulate abroad, and of the fact
that many children are deliberately sent ahead,
unescorted on such dangerous treks to help facilitate
their own parents’ later entrance. One can disagree
with a current policy without stooping to distort
history to smear an administration, especially when
such tactics in the past have been used against those
now employing them.” Victor Davis Hanson is a senior
fellow at the Hoover Institution and the author, most
recently, of “The Second World Wars: How the First
Global Conflict Was Fought and Won.” Contact him at
authorvdh@gmail.com or @VDHanson or Megan Ring at
mjring@stanford.edu

2. ==> Immigration Protesters Line Streets with Kids’
Shoes

In Philadelphia on Tuesday night, several thousand
people attended a protest against President Donald
Trump’s zero tolerance immigration policy. The event
shut down several blocks where children’s shoes lined
Rittenhouse Square, just blocks from the Rittenhouse
Hotel, where Vice President Mike Pence was attending a
fundraiser for Pennsylvania’s Republican gubernatorial
candidate. The protest, called “Pence in PHL: Stop
Separating Families! Trump/Pence Must Go!” was
organized by several groups including Juntos. “We’ve
seen the outrage,” says Erika Almiron, the executive
director of Juntos. “We wanted to let Pence know we
stand against the separation of children at the
border.” Juntos is a community-led, Latinx immigrant
organization in Philadelphia. Contact Erika Almiron at
Erika@vamosjuntos.org or @ErikaAlmironNiz

3. ==> ‘Womp, Womp’ is Latest in Terrifying Pattern

A report in The Wall Street Journal revealed that the
Department of Homeland Security has separated a 10-
year-old girl with Down syndrome from her mother and
brother. Confronted with this latest outrage, former
Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski reacted on Fox
News by waving off the issue with a sarcastic ‘Womp,
Womp’ comment. David Perry says Lewandowski’s “joke” is
just a highly visible edge of a much broader,
terrifying, pattern. “His callous indifference here is
not a personality quirk or accident, but a necessary
feature for a regime that seeks to dehumanize and
destroy in their pursuit of a white nationalist
agenda.” The father of an 11-year-old with Down
syndrome, Perry says, “I find myself reeling as I
imagine my child taken away from me by a hostile state,
unable to process what it must be like for this
terrified incarcerated child. I know the long history
of forced institutionalization of disabled children in
this country and around the world, especially disabled
children of color, and I fear for her. David Perry is a
columnist for Pacific Standard Magazine and a freelance
journalist, covering politics, history, education, and
disability rights. Contact him at (612) 396-4837;

4. ==> Children Will Never Forget Being Separated from
Parents

5. ==> The Plot to Take Down Pope Francis

Pope Francis has been a consistent, and increasingly
lonely, advocate for migrants in a decreasingly
tolerant globe. But journalist Barbie Latza Nadeau says
the pope’s words have sparked outrage from Steve
Bannon, American conservative cardinal Raymond Burke,
and Italy’s new interior minister Matteo Salvini.
Nadeau says the trio are conspiring against Pope
Francis on the issue dearest to him: immigration. “He
has been particularly vocal about migrant rights in
recent days, both with regard to the closing of Italian
ports and the separation of children from their
families on the U.S.-Mexican border.” She adds, “One
might assume Francis is asking what Jesus would do for
the good of humanity. It seems Bannon, Burke, and
Salvini, worshippers of Trump, think they know better.”
Barbie Latza Nadeau is an American journalist and
author who has lived in Rome, Italy, since 1996. She
has worked as the Rome bureau chief for Newsweek
Magazine and currently holds that position for The
Daily Beast. She is an on-air contributor for CNN and a
writer for Scientific American. Contact her at

7. ==> The Net Neutrality Fight Isn’t Over

Net neutrality is no more. That means that internet
providers like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon can now lock,
throttle and otherwise interfere with online content
without any real legal consequences. But Timothy Karr
says the millions of people who won net neutrality
three years ago aren’t going away now. “The expiration
of the 2015 rules will be only a temporary hiccup. The
fight is far from over in Congress, in the courts and
across the country. That’s because people everywhere
understand what’s at stake. Without net neutrality,
large phone and cable companies will control the future
of communications, deciding who gets a voice and who
doesn’t. No one thinks that letting Comcast manage our
clicks is a good idea. …Attempts to strangle the free
internet exemplify a Washington where corporations
dictate policy, and the people aren’t going to take
that sitting down. Not today and not ever.” Timothy
Karr is the senior director of strategy and
communications for Free Press. Before joining Free
Press, he served as executive director of
MediaChannel.org and as vice president of Globalvision
New Media. Contact him at (201) 533-8838;

9. ==> Celebrate African-American Music Appreciation
Month

Gospel. Hip-hop. R&B. Rap. Spoken word. Jazz. Where
would American culture be without Black music? Renamed
African-American Music Appreciation Month (AAMAM) in
2009 by President Barack Obama, the annual celebration
began with President Jimmy Carter who decreed on June
7, 1979 that June would be Black Music Month. Invite
Haki Madhubuti to discuss the history of Black music in
America as well as current musical geniuses who
continue to influence and reflect black culture
including Chance the Rapper, Lupe Fiasco, Common and
Kanye West. Madhubuti is a leading poet and one of the
architect of the Black Arts Movement. He founded Third
World Press Foundation TWPF (1967) and has been a
pivotal figure in the development of strong Black
literary tradition. A proponent of independent Black
institutions, he co-founded elementary charter schools
in Chicago. Contact Adorn Lewis Mitchell at (312)

10. ==> Former Nun Learned Weight Loss Secret in
Convent

When it comes to weight-loss, advice from a former nun
may be heaven sent. Especially if that former nun is
Mary Lou Reid, who entered the convent as a heavyset,
shy 18-year-old and left five years later a confident,
svelte woman 50 pounds lighter. Today, Reid continues
to follow the convent lifestyle that led her to
maintain her weight for 50 years. Invite her to share
the Seven Holy Habits she discovered in the convent
that can help anyone live a healthier lifestyle. She
says, “The Convent Diet really isn’t a diet at all.
It’s a way of looking at food and at life. Food becomes
a friend instead of an enemy.” Reid left the convent
and worked in the arts and media business. She’s worked
as a financial planner for more than 30 years and has
given many seminars, written articles, and appeared as
a financial expert on TV. “Always Eat Dessert” is her
first book. Contact her at (626) 698-1849;

11. ==> Doc Says Autism Research is a Waste of Time and
Money

Developed nations around the world have spent years and
billions on autism research, focusing mainly on medical
and pharmaceutical remedies. But physician and author
Dr. Rajalakshmi Kandaswamy says they are going about it
the wrong way. “The root cause of all of the limiting
symptoms of autism is energy disturbance,” she says.
“This stress that I am talking about is energetic
stress. This includes stress from the parents’
energies, caregivers’ energies, and stress from the
environment including noise pollution, chemicals in
food, etc.” After exploring the power of holistic
energy healing in her own medical practice and life,
Dr. Raja spent more than 25 years developing the Autism
Cure, which shows results from day one! She recently
was recognized by Buzzfeed as one of five professionals
in the world to watch out for in the autism arena. She
is the author of 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
healautismnowfoundation@gmail.com.

12. ==> 70% of Your Wealth Will Be Lost When It Passes
to the Next Generation

Clifford “Kip” Kolson says it’s a historical and global
fact that 70 percent of family wealth is lost when it
transfers from one generation to another and is
completely gone by the third generation. “That’s an
avoidable tragedy,” he says, “but of greater concern is
the devastation that happens to the family unit and
relationships.” He says money and people in families
are often a toxic combination that causes a breakdown
of trust and poor, or non-existent, communications.
Listeners will learn how to avoid financial conflicts
that can cause families to become fractured, and ways
to keep more of their inheritance. Clifford “Kip”
Kolson has been a bank vice president, an Army officer,
a commercial real estate developer; and since 1994, a
financial advisor, planner, investment manager, and
family wealth coach. His business, Family Wealth
Leadership, counsels high net worth individuals on
building a lasting family legacy. He’s the author of
“You Can Have It All: Wealth, Wisdom, and Purpose.”

13. ==> CA Wildfires Force Celebrities to Fireproof
Homes

2017 was the worst year on record for California
wildfires, totaling $160 billion worth of damage.
Californian entrepreneur Jim Moseley has seen firsthand
the devastating effect of these fires, and 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

eggshells because they ruin social and business
gatherings with their uncontrollable tempers. What can
you do to remain relaxed and productive around someone
whose relish for rage makes every interaction
explosive? Conflict-resolution expert Tamara Dorris
will discuss ways to calm down a hothead. Tamara will

depression, Monique Rebelle had hit rock bottom and was
about to end her life when she had an extraordinary
experience — a spontaneous, complete kundalini rising.
Rebelle will introduce listeners to her life before the
experience and describe what happened that day and how
it began a miraculous process that left her in awe and
total reverence, and transformed her life from
desperate and lost to happy and fulfilled. Rebelle will

beginning stages to the end, and describe the resulting
spiritual enlightenment that comes without any
religious dogma or previous knowledge about the
subject. Monique Rebelle is the author of

1. ==> Immigration Attorney on Trump Policy

The Trump administration’s decision to separate
children from their families as a way to curb illegal
immigration is adding fuel to an already fiery debate
over immigration. Immigration attorney Rahul Manchan
can explain the new policy and why he believes it is
cruel, unjust and un-American. “Americans must not only
be guided by the ‘Rule of Law,’ but also by the
‘Concept of Equity,’ so they’re able to view problems
within American society through the lens of ultimate
justice, not only through the black letter of the
sometimes myopic and limiting edicts of the rule of
law.” Manchan is a New York attorney who specializes in
immigration law, civil rights, criminal defense and
family law. He’s appeared on major media television
program channels including Fox News, CNN and NBC.
Contact Ryan McCormick at (516) 901-1103 or (919)
377-1200.

2. ==> Separating Families and Calling It Christian Is
an American Tradition

Attorney General Jeff Sessions and White House press
secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders cited the Bible to
justify a Trump-approved immigration policy of ripping
children from their parents. Anthea Butler says in
doing so, Sessions invoked Romans 13, which is the
exact same argument that slaveholders and sympathetic
clerics used to justify slavery. “This reprehensible
moment in America is not an anomaly, but a continuation
of the intertwining of race, nation and slaveholding
Christianity. In this view of what America is and ought
to be, immigrants are not people, but chattel. And in
this view, immigrants are irresponsible and incapable
of caring for their children because they brought them
to America. This is not what Christianity looks like.
This is an Americanized, nationalistic Christianity
that promotes white families over and against brown
families, black families and other families that do not
conform and embrace their biblical worldview.” Anthea
Butler is associate professor of religion and Africana
studies at the University of Pennsylvania. She has been
a media commentator on religion politics and race on
the BBC, MSNBC, CNN, and ABC and served as a consultant
to the PBS series God in America. Contact her at

7. ==> Is Your Summer Fun Destroying the Planet?

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

8. ==> School’s Out, But Mom’s Stress Is In

School is out and the living is definitely not easy.
Parents—particularly moms—will be living in their cars
as they endlessly chauffeur their kids to and from
summer activities. In fact, says Suzette Webb, it’s
like adding a part-time job to an already frazzled
existence that includes spending more time scheduling
kids’ time, feeding them and breaking up their fights.
Invite Suzette on your show to offer suggestions for
ways moms can “up their game” in the summer to find
more time for themselves. Pointing out that self-care
is not selfish, Suzette will share the importance of
moms scheduling their own playdates, taking timeouts,
starting the day with a mom-friendly warm-up routine,
and celebrating the wins that come with being a less
stressed parent. Suzette holds an MBA from the Kellogg
Graduate School of Northwestern University. She is a
mother, entrepreneur, speaker, podcaster and the author
of “Blues to Blessings.” Reach her at (708) 261-3303;

9. ==> What Single Moms Never Tell You

What’s it really like being a single mom? Or a single
parent for that matter? The single parenting trend is
growing – at last count there were 13.6 million single
parents in America doing their best to raise over 21
million children. Is it as bad as it seems? Did you
know that more and more parents are choosing NOT to
remarry but to raise their kids on their own? Or that
kids raised in single parent homes often turn out
better than those in traditional families? Sara
Sherman, BA, MS, speaker, author, blogger, coach and
creator of the Kick Ass Single Mom Life movement can
answer all these questions and many more! She can
speak to almost any topic relating to single parenting.
She has lived it! As a single parent for most of her
adult life, Sara has successfully raised her children
and earned two degrees all while working full-time.

10. ==> Are You and Your Grad Suffering Transition Fog?

Everyone tells high school grads that college will be
the best four years of their lives! But Brenda Reynolds
thinks just maybe we should stop the lie. “Before they
get to the ‘happiest’ years of their lives, there’s a
heck of a lot of change to navigate first. Endings, new
beginnings, lots of uncertainty. Everything as they
know it is about to change–schedules, friends, living
space, geography. And parents have their own transition
to make.” Invite Reynolds to discuss strategies for
navigating this time of transition fog and the emotions
that come with it. She says, “It’s the beginning of
learning an invaluable skill of dealing with complexity
and change AND it’s a skill that students and parents
can bring to the workplace and their life space again
and again.” Brenda Reynolds is an organization and
leadership consultant, coach, speaker and author. She’s
been featured in Bloomberg News, Business News Daily
and on Starcom Radio Network. Her book is “TBD: To be
Determined: Leading with Clarity and Confidence in
Uncertain Times.” Navigating Transition Fog is her TEDx
talk. Contact her at (610) 639-5722;

11. ==> Understanding Breast Cancer Treatment Options

New research in New England Journal of Medicine
indicates 2/3rd of women with the most common cause of
breast cancer can forgo chemotherapy. Invite Dr. Jim
Roach to help listeners understand the new findings.
Who should get chemotherapy and who shouldn’t? What are
vital approaches to double outcomes with chemotherapy
while reducing side effects by half? How can those
skipping chemotherapy be certain they are on the right
path? What are key strategies in prevention and
management of breast cancer? For over a decade double-
boarded Dr. Jim Roach has successfully used functional,
integrative strategies with his patients. Jim Roach MD,
ABOIM, ABIHM, is a leading integrative practitioner who
has appeared on numerous radio and TV programs. His new
book “”Vital Strategies in Cancer” will be released in
the fall. Contact him at (859) 846-4453 (office) or at

12. ==> Will Your Brain Give Out Before You Do?

You work out, you watch what you eat and you’re feeling
pretty good, but if you’re in your 40s, you may be
harboring a silent brain-killing condition. “Starting
around age 45, people start to lose flexibility in
their chest, which reduces the amount of oxygen they
take in. Since the brain requires 10X more oxygen than
any other part of the body, the brain is the first to
suffer,” says sport scientist Bob Prichard. Even worse,
there are no symptoms. “A tight chest or stomach are
silent brain robbers. They’re like a cat burglar who
sneaks in and takes all your jewelry, or a hacker who
steals from your bank account. No signs or symptoms
until it’s too late.” Luckily, Prichard says the
condition can be reversed. Invite him to share an easy
at-home way to measure chest expansion, what the
numbers mean, and how to correct the problem. Bob
Prichard is president of the Somax Institute and author

13. ==> Why Does This Pain Doc Succeed Where Others
Fail?

Patients from all over the country visit Anna Lee,
M.D., to get relief from chronic pain that has plagued
them for years. This board-certified pain management
physician has helped thousands of “basket cases” for
whom conventional treatments have failed, with her
groundbreaking FDA-approved treatment. But you don’t
have to be in chronic pain to appreciate what Dr. Lee
will say about the horrible way pain patients are
treated in America, leading to a completely unnecessary
deadly opioid crisis. She’ll say that pain originates
from nerve injuries—not in the muscles or bones where
most treatments focus and often surgeries and
injections are useless. Ask her how her treatment works
and why no one else is using it. Anna Lee trained at
Hahnemann and the University of Pennsylvania. Reach her

14. ==> Capitalism Vs. Public Health: Cure Yourself?

In the world of Capitalism, curing the chronically ill
isn’t a profitable business model. After all, when
everyone is healthy, or at least the majority who are
curable, how will the company make a profit? Beverly
Jensen, Ph.D., says, “There is no silver bullet to
optimal health. Corporate interests have superseded
public health protection, and our conventional
healthcare system is part of the problem.” The SelfCare
Maven says, “There’s no drug to cure the causes of
chronic diseases. It’s largely up to the individual.”
Dr. Jensen can discuss the need for a national, public
discussion of the state of America’s health, how
individuals can recover, and how policies need to
change to improve the public’s health. Beverly, 70
years young, is a lifelong practitioner of the natural
healing arts. She is the author of the upcoming book
“The 21st Century Health Rx: Self-care.” Contact her at

15. ==> He’s Your Guest for Brain Awareness Month

June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, a time
when people will be wearing purple shirts with the
hashtag #EndAlz. As someone with a brain, you already
know the importance of keeping your memory sharp and
avoiding the most famous memory-robbing disease,
Alzheimer’s. But what you probably don’t know is that
the technique for putting the fork in Alzheimer’s
already exists only most of us do not know about it.
Invite Michael Morgan, LMT, CST-D, on your show to talk
about CranioSacral therapy, a revolutionary way of
treating Alzheimer’s and dementia that he is helping to
pioneer. When consistently applied, he says the gentle,
easily learned, affordable technique can significantly
roll back Alzheimer’s and dementia in a few weeks. He
can discuss his research, explain what craniosacral
therapy is (it’s also being used by NFL players and
children with autism) and ways it can increase
longevity. Morgan, who’s been researching Alzheimer’s
and dementia since 2008, was inspired to do so in part
after watching his stepmother and sister-in-law succumb
to the disease. He’s a well-known instructor of
CranioSacral Therapy and teaches the technique all over
the world. He’s also the author of “Preventing
Alzheimer’s in Just 10 Minutes a Day with the
BodyEnergy Prescription and CranioSacral Therapy.”

17. ==> Turn Mental Health Issues into Superpowers

1 in 5 people struggle with mental health, that’s 43.8
Million Americans, most of them feeling completely
broken and alone. But mental health advocate Brett
Francis says it doesn’t have to be that way. She’ll
explain how to use mental health challenges and
disabilities to your advantage, how to open the door to
new and great opportunities by living through those
challenges, and ways to turn mental health challenges
into invisible “superpowers” rather than living in the
dark. Brett is a professional speaker, mental health
advocate and the host of NotBroken Radio. She was

18. ==> This Scientist Can Prove God Exists

A recent article in Christianity Today states that
while most scientists are not anti-religion, contrary
to popular belief, the majority admittedly don’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 davep434@gmail.com, or (607)

19. ==> The Copycat Celebrity Suicide Effect

The recent suicide deaths of Kate Spade and Anthony
Bourdain shocked the nation and calls and texts to
crisis hotlines spiked dramatically. Carla Feagan fears
an increase in copycat suicides like the rise in deaths
after Robin Williams suicide in 2014. Feagan says, “The
time is now for people to release their shame, become
vulnerable and speak openly and publicly about their
depression and suicide attempts. It is with this
sharing of these stories that will allow those who are
thinking about suicide to understand they are not alone
and they too can survive.” Feagan, the author of “A
Life Worth Living; The Journey of an Authentic Soul,”
has been plagued by depression, anxiety and suicide
attempts her entire life and is ready and willing to
speak about what saved her from committing suicide.
