1. ==> New Book Claims CIA Has Plan to Kill Trump

Jerome Corsi, the old 2004 Swiftboater, is back with a
new theory about how far the ‘deep state’ will go to
destroy Donald Trump’s presidency. The flier for
“Killing the Deep State,” says the book proves that
there is underway a ‘coup d’état to take out President
Trump,’ orchestrated by Obama and his lieutenants. The
publisher claims that although the book is a best-
seller, The New York Times made a decision to leave it
off its list, although for one week it begrudgingly
listed it, under pressure, as #15. Ronald Radosh says,
“Best-seller or not, Corsi’s narrative is a compendium
of all the conspiracy theories put together and is
bound to be a basic source for Trump’s defenders, who
are taking out the crude edges and using his analysis
as the standard for showing why Trump’s presidency must
be defended at all costs against the nefarious deep
state. In today’s polarized climate, the more that
narrative is spread and adopted, the more it poses a
serious threat to our democracy.” Ronald Radosh is an
adjunct fellow at the Hudson Institute. He’s the author
of a history of the Democratic Party and many other
books. Contact him at rradosh@comcast.net; @ronradosh

2. ==> Weinstein and Why Men Claim Rape is Consensual

Harvey Weinstein is the target of a new lawsuit by
three women, including a technology sales executive who
accuses the producer of sexual assault and rape. Last
week, he was criminally indicted by a New York grand
jury alleging rape and sexual assault on two women. His
attorney insists Weinstein never had nonconsensual sex
and that a trial will clear the disgraced mogul’s name.
Author and rape survivor Joyce Short says, “The word
‘consent’ is the most misunderstood in the English
language. Our penal codes must standardize the true
meaning of consent across the US, and hopefully,
beyond.” Short will explain the meaning of consent and
discuss what changes are needed in our laws to combat
sex crimes and get predators behind bars. Joyce Short
advocates for sexual assault victims around the world.
She’s been awarded a “Woman of Distinction” honor by
the NY State Assembly and is fighting for new laws on
consent across the US. Contact her at (917) 517-8572;

3. ==> Prince’s 60th B-Day – What You Don’t Know about
the Music Icon

This Thursday, June 7th, music icon Prince would have
turned 60 years old. It’s been two years since he was
found dead in his Paisley Park mansion and still, many
questions remain about the man, his life and his music.
Invite documentary filmmaker and author Duane Tudahl to
discuss the man behind the music, his obsessive drive
and demand for total control, and how Purple Rain
catapulted him from a cult-favorite to a superstar.
You’ll learn: Was Prince really a devout Jehovah’s
Witness? What’s in his mysterious and legendary vault
and will we ever get to hear it? Who was the love of
his life? How does Prince’s music and legacy rank in
the history of pop music? What was the secret to his
success? Tudahl spent 20 years interviewing over 40
band members, singers, and engineers for his acclaimed
book Prince and the Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions:
1983 and 1984. He’ll share their personal, never-
before-heard stories from inside the studio. Contact
him at (818) 726-8638 (CA); duane@duanetudahl.com

4. ==> US Open – Have Deadlifts Damaged Jordan Spieth’s
Putting?

Golfer Jordan Spieth was ranked 8th last year in putts
3′ and under. This year he’s ranked 205th! What’s
happened? Some say the problem is a mental one, but Bob
Prichard believes it’s entirely physical and due to
damage from lifting 380 lb. weights. “I see it in
golfers all the time. Weight-lifting builds muscle by
tearing muscle fibers, but you also create scar tissue
that can’t be released by stretching. It accumulates
over time, reducing flexibility in the back, shoulders
and neck.” Prichard runs the Somax Performance
Institute. His athletes have won 44 Gold Medals, and
set 11 World Records. His golfers have won the US Open
and improved their putting from #113 to #1. Hear why
he suspects the condition has affected other pro
golfers like Tiger Woods, David Duval and Jason Day–as
well as weekend duffers. Prichard will share simple
ways to test for the condition, and explain how
releasing microfibers can correct the problem and
improve performance, reverse age-related stiffness and
back pain. An NBC Sports Olympics on-air analyst, he’s
written for many publications and his sports analysis
videos have over 6M views on YouTube. His new book is
“Are You Robbing Your Brain of Oxygen?” Contact him at
(415) 435- 9880 (CA); bprichard@somaxsports.com

5. ==> Summer Jobs that Hurt Your Mental Health

School is about to let out and it’s time to find a
summer job but Dr. John Huber says not all seasonal
jobs are good for everyone, and some can even hurt your
mental health. “Some jobs can be great summer
experiences like camp counseling or lifeguarding. They
can be fulfilling and allow teens to be responsible and
learn to be leaders,” says Dr. Huber. But other job, he
adds, may not be suited for everyone. “It sounds like
fun to work at a theme park in a costume, but it’s
often brutally hot and a very demanding job. And if
you’re accustomed to a life of comfort and repeatedly
checking your phone, landscaping will probably be a
nightmare summer job for you.” 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.

6. ==> Unconventional Advice for Grads – Give a Damn!

Mark Lewis has three words for new grads seeking advice
on how to find success: Give a damn! While it may be an
untraditional suggestion, he says it gets to the heart
of what real success is. “Being self-centered is not
only dangerous, it’s a one-way ticket to failure,
violence, and bad relationships. Grads need to remember
that it is not about getting ahead, it’s about what you
do for others that gets you ahead.” Lewis will explain
what giving a damn means, the human perspective that
determines success, and how new grads can set
themselves apart by taking responsibility, living
honestly and not expecting anything in return. Lewis is
a business consultant, corporate growth expert and
president of Communique LLC. He’s the author of “Give a
Damn: Individually We Make a Difference, Collectively
We Change.” Contact him at (504) 905-4646;

7. ==> How Dying Made Me a Better Father

Danny Bader’s life was transformed by a near death
experience more than 20 years ago and he says what he
learned from the experience has made him a better
father. He’d just finished a roofing job with two
buddies and was helping one retract the ladder when it
hit the power lines. The other man holding the ladder—a
husband and father of three young kids—died instantly.
For all intents and purposes, Danny was also dead …and
then he wasn’t. Physically he recovered quickly but
emotionally, the accident took its toll. Now 54, the
author and inspirational speaker can discuss how
vision, support and faith helped him through the
tragedy, and how he uses the three powerful principles
with his children to support them on their journeys.
Danny is a coach, speaker and author of “Back from
Heaven’s Front Porch,” “Abraham’s Diner,” and “I Met
Jesus for a Miller Lite.” Contact him at (610)

8. ==> The Difference Between Leakers and
Whistleblowers

Roughly half of all workers say they witness crimes or
wrongdoing at their workplace but only 3% blow the
whistle to the authorities. While some portray
whistleblowers are snitches and leakers, Michael McCray
says it takes courage and tenacity to speak out and
stand up. Invite the public interest advocate to
explain why so few come forward and whether the culture
is changing. McCray blew the whistle on $40M of fraud
during the Clinton Administration and has become one of
the world’s foremost proponents for whistleblowers. In
his book “Race, Power & Politics” McCray gives the
inside story of ACORN (Association of Community
Organizations for Reform Now). He also hosts the
Whistleblower Summit for Civil & Human Rights, the
largest and most prestigious whistleblower conference
on Capitol Hill, on July 30th, National Whistleblower
Appreciation Day. Contact him at (870) 543-0024;
mccray.michael@gmail.com

9. ==> DNA Testing for …Wine?

Millions of people are getting DNA tests to help trace
their personal histories, but wine expert Kevin Begos
says scientists are now using the technology to trace
the history of wine! The author of “Tasting the Past:
The Science of Flavor & the Search for the Origins of
Wine” can discuss how DNA analysis, mass spectrometry,
liquid chromatography, and other high-tech tools are
helping winemakers rediscover rare native grapes and
rescue them from the brink of extinction. You’ll hear
how archaeobiologists in Milan brought Leonardo da
Vinci’s lost vineyard back to life and scientists in
Israel are rediscovering native grapes of the Holy
Land, and get recommendations for wines that go far
beyond the endless bottles of Chardonnay and Merlot
found in most stores and restaurants. Journalist Kevin
Begos is a former MIT Knight Science Journalism Fellow
and former AP correspondent. Contact Johanna Ramos-
Boyer at (703) 646-5137 or Erin Bolden at (703)
646-5188.

10. ==> Will The Royal Marriage Be a Royal Pain?

It may have been a fairy tale wedding, but how will
Harry and Meghan fare now that the ceremony is over and
their new life together sets in? As the new couple is
learning, every day of their life, every move they make
will be scrutinized, from what they wear to when they
become parents. How will the Duchess cope with leaving
her successful acting career? How will living in this
royal fishbowl affect their relationship? What sort of
precautions must they take to not let other people’s
opinions affect who they are and make time for each
other? Kristie Overstreet, a psychotherapist, author,
and speaker, has advice for the royal couple as well as
any couple taking their vows this summer. Dr.
Overstreet has been featured on CNN and in Self,
Psychology Today and other major media. She is the
author of “Fix Yourself First: 25 Tips to Stop Ruining
Your Relationships.” Reach her at (904) 566-9256 or
Kristie@TherapyDepartment.com

11. ==> Are You Guilty of Ignoring the Financial
Monsters Under Your Bed?

Parents reassure their children that there are no
monsters hiding under their bed. But Rodger Friedman
says it is adults who need to be concerned with the
monsters hiding under their beds. On air, he’ll explain
the three biggest monsters that most of us are ill-
prepared to handle but are almost certain to slay their
retirement savings: inflation, medical care expenses
and long-term care costs. But smart people will fight
back against them before they rear their ugly heads.
“Walk into retirement unprepared and it’s like a lamb
being led to slaughter,” says the chartered retirement
planning counselor and former senior vice president of
Morgan Stanley. Think you don’t have to worry about
inflation? Rodger says, “The greatest risk folks face
in retirement is that their income will not be able to
keep pace with the increase in expenses.” It’s time
someone woke your listeners and Rodger is the master at
doing so with hope and soundbites. The author of “The
Mindset of Retirement Success” and two other books on
the topic, this experienced talk-show guest has been
featured in Time, U.S. News and numerous radio
programs. The only things hiding under his bed are dust
bunnies. Contact him at (844) 369-7526;

12. ==> Why Most of Your Listeners Lose Money in the
Stock Market

It’s been said that 90% of traders lose money in the
stock market, but what about the average investor
having a 401K, IRA, or an individual brokerage account?
We don’t have exact figures on this, but we do know
that more than half, lose money. John Miller, a
financial advisor for 25 years, has seen all sorts of
market ups and downs and can share his professional
insights on how the average investor can make money.
Invite him to reveal his winning strategy to your
audience. His new book, “The Coming Gold, Silver, and
Block-Chain Share Explosion!” reveals, in simple terms,
how Americans can protect and build their life savings.
Your audience will also receive a free Kindle download
of the book by visiting his website. Miller has
appeared on the Mancow Morning Show, the Joe Bartlett
Show, the Financial Survival Network, The Phil Hulet
Show, and other radio shows nationwide. Contact him at
(727) 564-9416 (FL); wallst101@hotmail.com

13. ==> Time Management for People Who Hate It

Is your workday filled with chaos? Do you wish you
could get more done? Most of us do and Jonathan Denn
has a way to help. Using neuroscience and best
practices, he’s come up with a system to make your work
life (and home life) more efficient so you accomplish
more with greater control and satisfaction. It’s a time
management system for people who hate time management
systems. It’s called DRUMBEAT Productivity and, using a
fun music metaphor, it shows you how to divide your day
into jam sessions with teammates, improv time and solo
sessions in which you get your own work done. He’s got
the tips your audience needs to find perhaps as much as
an extra two hours of free time at work or home. Denn
is a business mentor, executive coach, and former hotel
chain CEO whose articles have appeared in Forbes and
Fortune. He is the author of “DRUMBEAT Business
Productivity Playbook: How to BEAT Goals and
Disorganization.” Contact him at (860) 930-0264;
jon@drumbeatproductivity.com

14. ==> Why This Author Says Many Homeless People Are
Great Role Models

Get ready to question nearly everything you think you
know about homeless people—including who they are and
how they got there. Glen Dunzweiler, who has
extensively interviewed homeless people and their
advocates, will say that the same qualities it takes to
survive on the street—stress management, humility, a
positive attitude, for example—are identical to what
all of us need to get by in life. He can bust the
biggest myths people have about the homeless and reveal
which celebrities were formerly homeless. Dunzweiler is
a filmmaker, producer, director, public speaker and
former college professor whose documentary,
“yHomeless,” can be seen on Amazon Prime. He is also
the author of “Things I’ve Learned from the Homeless.”
Reach him at (702) 767-7434; glen@glendunzweiler.com

15. ==> Has Work Become a Religion?

Benjamin Hunnicutt says work is the modern religion,
but is failing as a faith. According to a 2014 Harris
poll, nearly 70 percent of U.S. employees are not
‘involved in, enthusiastic about or committed to their
work.’ He says, “Millennials depend less and less on
their jobs as the place to realize their dreams, having
found the overblown promises of work empty. Many older
workers feel betrayed by work, having made it the
centerpiece of their lives and a key source of
happiness only to realize how dispensable they are when
they are passed over for promotion, sidelined or laid
off.” Hunnicutt doesn’t suggest a society without
work, but says, “It is reasonable to expect that work
will eventually return to its historical set-point as a
means to an end rather than an end in itself. Work can
be tamed, and made more of an adornment to life rather
than its center.” Benjamin Hunnicutt is professor of
leisure studies at the University of Iowa and author of
“Free Time: The Forgotten American Dream.” Contact him

16. ==> Don’t Forget to Do a Show 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. ==> The Other Victims of the Opioid Crisis

For decades many doctors’ treatment of choice for pain
was opioids, but we now know they’re unsafe and have
created a catastrophic addiction epidemic. Doctors have
been advised to stop prescribing the drugs, so the
medicine is now gone, but the pain remains for
millions. Chronic pain expert Cindy Perlin says, “Much
suffering can be avoided and many lives can be saved if
more physicians and pain patients knew about the many
safe and effective alternative pain treatments that are
available”. Cindy Perlin is a licensed clinical social
worker, certified biofeedback practitioner, chronic
pain survivor, the creator of the online Alternative
Pain Treatment Directory and the author of “The Truth
About Chronic Pain Treatments: The Best and Worst
Strategies for Becoming Pain Free.” She has been in
private practice in the Albany, NY area for over 25
years and has been a guest on numerous radio and TV
shows. Contact her at (518) 439-6431 or at
cindyperlin@gmail.com.

18. ==> Why We Can’t Stay Happy …and What to Do about
It!

Did you know that more people than ever are chronically
unhappy? Maybe you are one of them! Study after study
proves that unhappiness reigns supreme in America and
the world. But did you know that you can control how
happy you feel? Ed Kuiper, author of “Ride the
Happiness Wave,” can show your audience how to simply
and easily activate their own happiness. It is possible
to relieve the heaviness and fatigue that have become a
standard default for many of them. Ed will share
specific actions they can do every day to quickly
create a happy spirit within while also giving them
fun, short, supportive suggestions to trigger a “happy”
feeling that lasts! Ed Kuiper is an author, speaker
and seminar leader on cultivating happiness and healing
– both physical and emotional. As an officer of two
major life insurance companies and founder and CEO of
several national companies, Ed spent over 40 years in
the business world before becoming the “Master of
Happiness.” Contact Ed at (207) 592-2032;

19. ==> Why Summer is the Best Time to Beat Sugar
Addiction

Did you know that 70 percent of the U.S. population is
addicted to sugar and it sets them up for diabetes,
weight gain, foggy thinking, irritability and even
anger issues? The good news, according to Griff
Neilsen, is that summer is a great time to kick the
“sweet” habit. Invite him on your show and learn how to
know if you’re addicted to sugar, whether our brains
are hard-wired for sugar addiction, how much sugar is
safe for children and adults, and whether you need to
go cold turkey when trying to eliminate your cravings.
A multiple-certified personal trainer and Level III
CHEK holistic lifestyle coach/nutritionist, Griff 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.” Contact him at (801) 444-2796; griff@llfit.com

20. ==> Curious about Fantasy Baseball Camp?

As an undersized kid with a rough home life, little
league baseball was salvation for Larry Roth, and the
Yankees were his idols. When he receives a trip to New
York Yankees Fantasy Camp, a funny and touching journey
begins for the 59½-year-old lawyer. Find out what it’s
like to take the field after a 40-year layoff, why bats
must always be wooden, why ice is a must (and not just
in a martini), and what happens when you’re in a
kangaroo court against Darryl Strawberry. If you’ve
ever been tempted to suit up like the pros and live
life in the major league, Roth can answer your
questions about both the reality and the fantasy behind
fantasy camp. Roth is the author of “A Lawyer in
Pinstripes: A Fantasy Journey,” a memoir about his
experiences in little league and fantasy camp. Contact

1. ==> Jackson Estate Not Happy with ABC Doc

ABC is airing a much-hyped prime-time special tonight
on Michael Jackson’s final days, but Jackson’s estate
isn’t happy about it. The estate issued a statement
saying, “We want consumers to know that ‘The Last Days
of Michael Jackson’ is not sponsored or approved by the
Estate of Michael Jackson. …We believe the special to
be another crass and unauthorized attempt to exploit
the life, music and image of Michael Jackson without
respect for Michael’s legacy, intellectual property
rights or his children.” At issue are images, music and
other intellectual property the estate says was used
without consent. Contact Diana Baron at (310) 315 5444;
diana@dbaronmedia.com

2. ==> Will Georgia Elect 1st Black Woman Governor?

Stacey Abrams is vying to become Georgia’s next
governor, and the first black female governor in the
history of the United States. You might be surprised—an
African American woman governor of a red Southern
state—but political expert Christina Greer says her
credentials are solid and she may very well make
history. Abrams won the Democratic primary this week
making her the first black woman to be a major party’s
nominee for governor but Greer says it remains to be
seen whether Georgians are ready to elect a black woman
to lead the state. Abrams’ opponent in the general
election will be either Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle or Georgia
Secretary of State Brian Kemp. Cagle and Kemp will face
each other in a runoff for the Republican nomination in
July since all of the candidates failed to receive more
than 50% of the vote on Tuesday. Christina Greer is an
assistant professor of political science at Fordham
University Lincoln Center campus. Contact her at (212)
636-6391; posc@fordham.edu

3. ==> How to Train for School Shootings

It seems every week we are talking about a new mass
shooting with the latest occurring at a Texas high
school where 10 people died. Chris Bird, author of
“Surviving a Mass Killer Rampage: When Seconds Count,
Police Are Still Minutes Away,” has studied mass
shootings and believes more guns, not less, are part of
the solution. “Teachers who want to be trained and
armed should be, perhaps under the control of a school
resource officer. Other teachers and school staff
should be trained in first aid for gunshot wounds.” He
says school training is essential and lockdown should
not be the only option. “Getting out of the building,
or as a last resort throwing things at the shooter and
fighting back, should be practiced more often than fire
drills. Cringing under a desk is not a recipe for
survival.” Bird is a former commissioned officer in the
Royal Military Police of the British Army. He is a past
president of the Texas Concealed Handgun Association,
and author of” The Concealed Handgun Manual.” Contact
him at (210) 308-8191; cjbird@satx.rr.com

4. ==> Have School Backpacks Fueled the Increase in
School Shootings?

The increasing rise in school shootings has been blamed
on everything from access to guns to economics and
social media, but Bob Prichard believes the problem is
chronic restriction of oxygen to the brain. “As I see
it, the rise in school shootings is a second generation
effect of heavy school backpacks.” Prichard, who runs
the Somax Performance Institute, will discuss what
happens both physically and mentally when oxygen is
restricted to the brain, and how heavy backpacks can
cause numerous problems for children that continue into
adulthood as well as to their offspring. “It’s time to
wake people up to the biggest man-made epidemic in
American history. School shootings are just the tip of
the iceberg.” Prichard will share simple ways to test
for the condition, and explain how releasing
microfibers can correct the problem and improve oxygen
to the brain delivering physical and psychological
benefits. An NBC Sports Olympics on-air analyst, he’s
written for many publications and his sports analysis
videos have over 6M views on YouTube. His new book is
“Are You Robbing Your Brain of Oxygen?” Contact him at
(415) 435- 9880 (CA); bprichard@somaxsports.com

5. ==> Is the Royal Marriage Doomed?

Harry and Meghan’s marriage may only be a few days old
but according to Dr. Caxton Opere, we shouldn’t expect
to see them grow old together. He says the likelihood
of a divorce is close to 98%. “As much as I wish Harry
and Meghan would be happily married forever, the
Reality check, Risk factors and Royal Court protocols
diminish the likelihood this royal marriage will last.”
Dr. Opere, the pioneer of the 5-Minute Compatibility
Test and an expert on the medical complications of
divorce will discuss the reasons he believes the
marriage is destined to fail and why. From too many
royal rules to intercultural issues and age, Dr. Opere
will share tools anyone can use to measure
compatibility as well as the signs your relationship
may be in trouble. Dr. Caxton Opere is a board
certified internist and the author of several books on
relationships. He has been happily remarried for over
20 years. Contact him at (225) 892-5270;
caxton@doctorcaxton.com

6. ==> Ballot Issues Facing Young Voters

Galvanized by recent school shootings in Florida and
Texas, teenagers across the country have risen up in a
wave of protest against gun violence, joining young
organizers of color who have long spoken out against
the scourge of violence in their communities. But Emma
Greenman says turning that energy into lasting
political power requires more than protest. “We need to
ensure young people have access to the ballot, and
vote, in numbers unseen in recent memory. Young people
have already begun turning their anger in that
direction, encouraging voter registration as a top goal
and promoting registration drives in schools.” She’ll
discuss the myriad of obstacles to the ballot box many
young people face including the new restrictive voter
ID laws in states around the country. Emma Greenman is
director of Voting Rights and Democracy at the Center
for Popular Democracy. She has over 15 years of
experience working on democracy and justice issues as a
litigator, a policy expert and a political advocate.

7. ==> Leakers or Whistleblowers?

Roughly half of all workers say they witness crimes or
wrongdoing at their workplace but only 3% blow the
whistle to the authorities. While some portray
whistleblowers are snitches and leakers, Michael McCray
says it takes courage and tenacity to speak out and
stand up. Invite the public interest advocate to
explain why so few come forward and whether the culture
is changing. McCray blew the whistle on $40M of fraud
during the Clinton Administration and has become one of
the world’s foremost proponents for whistleblowers. In
his book “Race, Power & Politics” McCray gives the

If you’re non-white in American, you’ve likely
experienced racism at some level, at some point in your
life. And lately, it seems there’s a news story each
day involving a racist incident. From Starbucks to Yale
University, cell phones are capturing discrimination
and putting businesses and organizations in the
spotlight–and in the hotseat. As these videos go
viral, customers worry about their safety and, in some
cases, are boycotting the businesses. Invite Nita
Wiggins, a former Texas news anchor and the victim of
racial discrimination, to discuss what kind of training
can be done to prevent these scenarios as well as what
you should do if you experience racial discrimination.
She is currently conducting training for these exact
situations and discussing the best ways to prevent
these issues and how to manage them. She is also the
author of an upcoming book “Civil Rights Baby” that
discusses discrimination in the workplace. Contact her

9. ==> Why You Should Be Concerned About Africa

Sylvanus Ayeni warns that the security of the world is
at stake as long as the widespread poverty in the
nations of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) continues to
worsen. “As perpetrators of terror are driven from
their enclaves in the Middle East and elsewhere, these
poor nations in SSA with dilapidated infrastructure and
defense apparatus could become safe havens for
terrorist organizations.” Ayeni says another area of
concern is the threat of global epidemics. “The
2014/2015 Ebola epidemic which began in West Africa is
a reminder of the global consequences of the poor
healthcare systems in the nations of SSA.” Ayeni, a
retired neurosurgeon, author, and speaker, was born and
raised in Nigeria. His 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 president of Pan
Africa Children Advocacy Watch (PACAW) Inc. Contact him

10. ==> Time Management for People Who Hate It

Is your workday filled with chaos? Do you wish you
could get more done? Most of us do and Jonathan Denn

11. ==> Is Your Workplace Making You Ill?

Everyone is tired of the 9 to 5 grind. What many
business owners – and their employees – don’t realize,
is that the actual workplace can be a health hazard.
Even if you’re in a climate-controlled, well-lit
office, hours without fresh air and natural light takes
its toll. Likewise, spending hours seated in front of
a computer can strain the back and neck, causing muscle
and headaches, as well as eye strain. Not only that,
unrealistic expectations, toxic personalities and
sensory overload not only affects morale, but may
contribute to higher employee turnover as well as lost
productivity, which contributes to lost profits. Dr.
Saundra Dalton-Smith will discuss ways to make the
workplace a safer place, where workers are healthy,
supported, and productive. Dr. Saundra’s spirited
approach to life will inform, enlighten, and entertain,
changing the way you and your listeners view your
waking, working, and sleeping life. Dr. Dalton-Smith

12. ==> Why Most of Your Listeners Lose Money in the
Stock Market

It’s been said that 90% of traders lose money in the
stock market, but what about the average investor
having a 401K, IRA, or an individual brokerage account?
We don’t have exact figures on this, but we do know
that more than half, lose money. John Miller, a
financial advisor for 25 years, has seen all sorts of
market ups and downs and can share his professional
insights on how the average investor can make money.
Invite him to reveal his winning strategy to your
audience. His new book, “The Coming Gold, Silver, and
Block-Chain Share Explosion!” reveals, in simple terms,
how Americans can protect and build their life savings.

13. ==> What You Don’t Know about Traumatic Brain
Injuries

We often hear about concussions and other brain
injuries involving pro football players, but ordinary
people, including one-in-five teens, also sustain these
injuries causing headaches, nausea, dizziness,
insomnia, depression, lack of concentration, and more.
Invite Susana Stoica, Ph.D., to discuss her difficult
15-year battle to recover from a brain injury and how
others can avoid the same mistakes. Dr. Stoica will
discuss what to do after suffering a brain trauma, how
to limit post-trauma brain swelling or secondary brain
injury, whether the body can ever completely heal from
a brain trauma, and how conventional medical treatments
fail to address all the components of healing the
brain. You’ll learn the physical and emotional toll of
brain injuries on sufferers and their families, as well
as how anyone can improve their brain function at any
age. Susana Stoica, Ph.D., the founder of Healing
Alternatives, LLC, is a healer, engineer, inventor, and
speaker. In July, she will be giving a workshop on
brain injury recovery at Harvard Medical School. Her
new book is “Heal Your Brain, Reclaim Your Life.”

14. ==> Today’s Most Mysterious Health Crisis

International wellness speaker Leah McCullough is now
the picture of health, upbeat mood and boundless
energy. But like millions of other people today, she
once suffered from debilitating pain and fatigue caused
by fibromyalgia. That’s until Leah, known worldwide as
The Fibro Lady, learned how to conquer the effects of
that mysterious disease. Chances are you know someone
(maybe yourself!) who needs Leah’s advice on the new
and unique approach of nutrition, supplements, and
lifestyle changes for newfound relief and recovery.
Watch ratings climb when Leah, author of “Freedom from
Fibromyalgia: 7 Steps to Complete Recovery” and “Eat to
Energize,” discusses initial symptoms of fibromyalgia,
parts of the body most affected and how the disease can
render people (including celebrities) unable to work,
travel, or experience normal everyday activities even
in the prime of life. You’ll also learn why the medical
community is largely perplexed and why women seem more
prone to developing the condition. Contact Leah
McCullough at (859) 380-9737; Leah@TheFibroLady.com.

15. ==> Stop the Organized Pull Pushers Now

More Americans died of drug overdoses in 2016 than died
in the Vietnam War – the result of the US’s opioid
epidemic. Janet Colbert says every single one of those
deaths was preventable –if human life was valued over
profit. Invite her on your show and hear about her
battle against the pill mills who supply, the
physicians who prescribe, and the politicians who do
nothing. Living in Broward County, Florida, the
epicenter of the opiate epidemic, Colbert has seen
firsthand how opioids have destroyed lives and the
community. Her organization STOPPNow provides
strategies to prevent drug use and treat those
affected. But, she says, as long as the corruption and
greed prevail, the drug companies’ dominance will
continue. Janet Colbert has appeared in the Sun-
Sentinel, on WSVN –TV-NEWS Miami, and had Senator Joe
Manchin read her letter on the crisis on C-Span to the
Senate Floor. She is the author “STOPPNow.” Contact

16. ==> More Families Coping with Early-Onset
Alzheimer’s

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, 5.5 million
people – 1 in 10 individuals – age 65 and older are
living with Alzheimer’s. But even more startling, is
the number of cases involving people under 65. The
group says the exact numbers are hard to pin down, but
clearly much higher than previously acknowledged. A
diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer’s can be
devastating. Families fear the years ahead, considering
the worrisome health intervention, physical and mental
decline expected for the afflicted, and the myriad
issues related to caregiving. Carlen Maddux’s wife
Martha was diagnosed at age 50. Their odyssey lasted 17
years. He’ll share insights on altering your home life,
telling/involving the kids, and whether movies like
“Still Alice” get it right. Plus, hear Carlen’s tips on
family-wide care, keeping marriages strong, navigating
holidays, maintaining memory and safety, avoiding
caregiver fatigue, balancing personal and professional
life, myths and truths about late stage Alzheimer’s
care. Carlen is a speaker and the author of “A Path

17. ==> Kids & Sports Injuries- Are They Playing Too
Hard?

Springtime means baseball, and Little Leaguers
everywhere are taking to the field. Parents, coaches,
and the kids themselves expect the bumps and bruises
that come with hard ball play, but the latest trends in
youth sports leagues are revealing that some kids are
playing too hard. Dr. Thomas Neviaser, retired
orthopedist, talks about the risks young athletes take
when they specialize too early and play too long. He’ll
discuss what he’s seen over his 30 years as an
orthopedic surgeon, and how your future Mickey Mantle,
Serena Williams, or Tom Brady can stay fit, healthy,
and active without risking a life-altering injury. Dr.
Tom’s illustrious career spanned the beginnings of
arthroscopic surgery to the very latest, cutting-edge
methodologies of today. He would love to share his
knowledge with you and your listeners. He can be
reached at (540) 718-0666.

18. ==> Amazing True Story – ‘Through the Fire’

On July 10th, 2007, a NASCAR plane crashed into a house
in a suburban subdivision in Sanford, Florida. A young
mother and son died, as did the pilot and a passenger.
The fuel tank broke loose and crashed into Pete
Dechat’s home, exploding and killing his four-year-old
daughter Gabi. Pete sustained serious burns over 96% of
his body while trying to find and rescue her. Doctors
said he wouldn’t live. Then they said he wouldn’t see.
Or walk. But they were wrong. Invite Pete to share his
incredible story which includes having his wife leave
him while he was in a coma. Learn why, when people say
he’s lucky to be alive, he tells them it was God who
saved him. Pete has since remarried and has a young
daughter. “Through the Fire” is his new book. Contact

19. ==> What’s It Like to Instantly Lose Everything?
Ask This Woman

Most of us will never have the experience of losing
nearly everything dear to them in an instant. Sana
Bauner was not so lucky. In 2004, Sana, her ex-husband,
son, mother and some friends were on holiday in
Thailand when a tsunami hit. Out of nowhere with no
warning. Sana nearly drowned despite being inside her
room, her mother died and her two-year-old daughter
disappeared never to be found. Sana fought hard to live
and ended up being carried by the water a half-mile
away from her hotel. But what happened that day led to
a battle that was just as big as she struggled to
understand what happened and to go on with her life.
Today, Sana says all of us face tsunamis—divorce, job
loss, deaths, betrayal—and she can help people find
hope and resilience with lessons she learned from
surviving a tsunami. She is the author of “The Borrowed
Daughter,” a memoir containing lessons to help anyone
going through a life crisis, and is based in Vienna.

20. ==> Are Excuses Holding You Back?

What’s one thing that wildly successful people do that
average ones don’t? They neither make nor accept
excuses. Business psychologist Margaret Bradley, Ph.D.
says, “Often people get caught in an excuse trap and
don’t even realize it. They give up on accomplishing
important goals or fall behind the competition without
knowing about simple steps that get rid of the excuses
that hold them back.” She’ll explain how to recognize
your own excuse-making style, the reason people make
excuses, and when an excuse can be a gift. You’ll also
learn how business leaders can create an excuse-free
culture and when it’s actually ok to make an excuse.

head in Fortune 500 companies, an entrepreneur, and a
consultant. She’s the author of “Wouldacouldashoulda:

1. ==> America First – The MAGA Manifesto

Do you wonder what’s really behind all the rhetoric
about making America great again or what Donald Trump
will do next? Pat and Kate Scopelliti, two full-time
entrepreneurs, have written “America First – The MAGA
Manifesto” which they say “…addresses today’s
heightened fears, clarifies primary goals, and provides
a clear, intellectually stimulating foundation of this
historic and mounting crusade that has swept the nation
and propelled the historic election in November 2016 of
President Donald J. Trump.” The pair will explain the
MAGA agenda and why Americans should support the
president regardless of their political affiliation.
The book has been endorsed with a foreword from Lt. Gen
(R) Michael T. Flynn, Trump’s first national security
adviser. Pasquale (Pat) Scopelliti is the founder of
Consigliori consulting practice. Contact him at
Pasquale@TheConsigliori.com

2. ==> Mr. President, Lies Matter

Before Donald Trump, the idea of having a president who
habitually fails to tell the truth and survives would
have been unthinkable. To his supporters, apparently
lies don’t matter, but Tony Selimi says they do, and
they hurt everyone. He’ll share five tips to
distinguish lies from the truth and help people avoid
the long term effect that distortion of the truth can
have on science, health care, education, mental,
emotional and physical health, and every facet of our
lives, putting us on a path to self-destruction. He
says, “If we don’t immunize against this virus of the
modern age, teach our children the importance of truth,
and have a conscious media and government, we are
heading towards a lonely planet in which the human
values we hold dear are totally forgotten.” Tony Selimi
is author of “A Path to Wisdom” and “#Loneliness – The
Virus of the Modern Age,” and co-creator of “Living My
Illusion- The Truth Hurts,” an award-winning
documentary. Tony has appeared on over 100 TV and radio
stations across the world. Contact him at +44 &8 1717

3. ==> Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author Jack Davis

Jack Davis’s “The Gulf: The Making of an American Sea”
won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize in history along with
several other prestigious awards. Invite him to discuss
how humans have impacted the Gulf of Mexico and why
it’s a far larger story than a Corps of Engineers levee
or a BP offshore oil rig. Beginning in the age of
exploration, Davis will reveal the fragile borders of a
wild battleground that would soon serve as a larger map
for America’s fraught relationship with the
environment. You’ll learn about the Spanish and English
who first ventured to the region and were confused by
the indigenous cultures who hid behind and thrived off
the Gulf’s peculiar ecosystem and how, in the two
hundred years following Columbus’s fateful voyage, the
aboriginals were subdued along the Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas coasts. Jack Davis is
also the author of “An Everglades Providence: Marjory
Stoneman Douglas and the American Environmental
Century.’ A professor of environmental history at the
University of Florida, he grew up on the Gulf coast,
and now lives in Florida and New Hampshire. Contact

4. ==> Royal Wedding Fever Running High

In case you hadn’t heard, Prince Harry is getting
married on Saturday. Everyone’s talking about it and
many will even get up at 5am to watch the ceremony
live! The royals have infiltrated our collective
consciousness. The question is, why? Ask psychologist
Dr. John Huber. He’ll discuss why some people are
obsessed with the royal family, whether it’s unhealthy
to fantasize about being someone else, and his
prognosis (from afar) on whether the couple’s marriage
can last. 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.

5. ==> Will The Royal Marriage Be a Royal Pain?

It may be a fairy tale wedding, but how will Harry and
Meghan fare once the ceremony is over? As the new
couple is learning, every day of their life, every move
they make will be scrutinized, from what they wear to
when they become parents. How will Markle cope with
leaving her successful acting career? How will living
in this royal fishbowl affect their relationship? What
sort of precautions must they take to not let other
people’s opinions affect who they are and make time for
each other? Kristie Overstreet, a psychotherapist,
author, and speaker, has advice for the royal couple as
well as any couple taking their vows this summer. Dr.
Overstreet has been featured on CNN and in Self,
Psychology Today and other major media. She is the
author of “Fix Yourself First: 25 Tips to Stop Ruining
Your Relationships.” Reach her at (904) 566-9256 or
Kristie@TherapyDepartment.com

6. ==> Advice for Grads – Give a Damn!

Mark Lewis has three words for new grads seeking advice
on how to find success: Give a damn! While it may be an
untraditional suggestion, he says it gets to the heart
of what real success is. “Being self-centered is not
only dangerous, it’s a one-way ticket to failure,
violence, and bad relationships. Grads need to remember
that it is not about getting ahead, it’s about what you
do for others that gets you ahead.” Lewis will explain
what giving a damn means, the human perspective that
determines success, and how new grads can set
themselves apart by taking responsibility, living
honestly and not expecting anything in return. Lewis is
a business consultant, corporate growth expert and
president of Communique LLC. He’s the author of “Give a
Damn: Individually We Make a Difference, Collectively
We Change.” Contact him at (504) 905-4646;

7. ==> How to Make a Great Big Decision

Whether it’s what college to choose, whether to start a
new business or move across the country, we all face
big decisions in our lives. It’s common to put off
making tough choices because you don’t want to be wrong
or cause yourself or others unnecessary pain and
expense–financial, emotional, or any other kind of
toll. Invite Michael Angelo Costa to explain the secret
to mastering big decisions and making the right choice.
You’ll learn the four key factors to consider before
making any important decision and become less-stressed
and more confident in your decision-making ability! A
lawyer, investment banker, and advisor, Michael Angelo
Costa has more than 33 years of international business
experience. The author of “Never Be Wrong Again – Four
Steps to Making Better Decisions in Work and in Life”
frequently appears on radio and TV as an expert in
decision-making. Contact him at (760) 238-5087;

8. ==> Corporate America’s Dirty Little Secret: Ageism
Exists

Corporate America has a dirty little secret – companies
are discarding their older employers like yesterday’s
newspaper, just because of their age. But according to
Diane Huth, career coach and Amazon bestselling author,
it doesn’t have to be that way. Huth coaches baby
boomers on the 5 key things they need to do to keep
their current job or find a new one. She explains that
the single most important task any older worker must
focus on is upping their computer and technology
skills. She encourages mature workers to focus on life-
long learning to adapt to the rapidly transforming job
market and keep their skills and certifications up to
date and provides lists of no-cost or low-cost ways to
achieve and keep career relevance. Diane also urges
workers to look as young as they can without looking
silly and provides detailed insights into how to look
10 – 15 years younger fast. Let Diane share with your
listeners how older workers can successfully adopt more
youthful work, communication and lifestyle habits to
more easily fit into a modern, flexible and mobile
workplace. What she has to say is nothing short of a
new way of looking at work. Her book “Brand You! To Re-
Invent Your Career” will be released this summer.

9. ==> Business: Prevent Negative Viral Videos

If you’re non-white in America, you’ve likely
experienced racism at some level, at some point in your
life. And lately, it seems there’s a news story each
day involving a racist incident. From Starbucks to Yale
University, cell phones are capturing discrimination
and putting businesses and organizations in the
spotlight–and in the hotseat. As these videos go
viral, customers worry about their safety and, in some
cases, are boycotting the businesses. Invite Nita
Wiggins, a former Texas TV anchor and the victim of
racial discrimination, to discuss what kind of training
can be done to prevent these scenarios as well as what
you should do if you experience racial discrimination.
She is currently conducting training for these exact
situations and discussing the best ways to prevent
these issues and how to manage them. Nita is the author
of the upcoming book “Civil Rights Baby” about
discrimination in the workplace. Contact her at

10. ==> Why is Customer Service So Bad?

When was the last time you were in a store where
employees greeted you by name, helped you find what you
were looking for, made you feel important and didn’t
look miserable? According to business leadership expert
Bonnie Sussman-Versace, only 10 percent of U.S.
companies provide good customer service, but she says
it should be the norm. Bonnie will share examples of
companies that make customers feel like kings and
queens and what we can learn from them. She’ll explain
why so many companies fail at customer service, reveal
what company recently closed their Indian call center
and opened one in the U.S., and what Wegmans and
DoubleTree by Hilton are doing that’s worth emulating.
For added fun, have listeners call in with their best
or worst customer service stories for a chance to win a
copy of Bonnie’s book, “Recipes for Thoughtful
Leadership and Healthy Culture.” Bonnie’s parents were
business owners and she managed her own $4.5 million
commercial design and furnishing business before
evolving into a business consultant. She is the author
of numerous articles for Business Weekly and other
publications. Contact her at (610) 301-2194 or
bversace@focusedllc.net

11. ==> The Real Monsters Under Your Bed

Parents reassure their children that there are no
monsters hiding under their bed. But Rodger Friedman
says it’s adults who need to be concerned with the
monsters hiding under their beds. On air, he’ll explain
the three biggest monsters that most of us are ill-
prepared to handle but are almost certain to slay their
retirement savings: inflation, medical care expenses
and long-term care costs. But smart people will fight
back against them before they rear their ugly heads.
“Walk into retirement unprepared and it’s like a lamb
being led to slaughter,” says the chartered retirement
planning counselor and former senior vice president of
Morgan Stanley. Think you don’t have to worry about
inflation? Rodger says, “The greatest risk folks face
in retirement is that their income will not be able to
keep pace with the increase in expenses.” It’s time
someone woke your listeners and Rodger is the master at
doing so with hope and soundbites. The author of “The
Mindset of Retirement Success” and two other books on
the topic, this experienced talk-show guest has been
featured in Time, U.S. News and numerous radio
programs. The only things hiding under his bed are dust
bunnies. Contact him at (844) 369-7526;

12. ==> Can #MeToo Victims Overcome Trauma?

The #MeToo movement has put a spotlight on sexual
harassment and assault, not only in the entertainment
business but in women’s lives in general. Can victims
ever lead normal lives after experiencing such trauma?
Mind-body-spirit expert Arnoux Goran, says, “It is
possible to permanently overcome the pain, anger, and
shame of sexual assault so that the worst trauma
imaginable no longer affects you.” His successful
method to reprogram yourself has been studied by the
University of California, Irvine, and shown dramatic
results. Goran can also discuss men who have been
victims of sexual assault and are too afraid to talk
about it and how not dealing with emotional trauma can
lead to additional health issues like emotional eating.
His forthcoming book, “The Answer: How to Change Your
Life and Make Your Dreams Come True,” reveals how to
release negative emotions permanently and truly change
your life by addressing the cause of repeating
patterns. Goran has been featured on radio and

14. ==> Autism News: Could this Be a Cure?

According to alarming MIT research, one in two children
in the U.S. will be diagnosed with autism by the year
2025. Physician and author Dr. Rajalakshmi Kandaswamy
attributes this to increased environmental energy
disturbances. “This not only includes environmental
stress from increased noise pollution, chemicals in
food and so on, this also includes stress from parent’s
and caregivers’ energy,” she says. “Energy disturbances
have sky-rocketed throughout the world as a result of
people defining and accepting stress and pollution to
be a normal part of daily living.” 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.

15. ==> May – Brain Cancer Awareness Month

Did you know that brain tumors rarely form in the very
center of the brain? Mylaine Riobe, MD, FACOG says it’s
because that area of the brain gets the freshest blood
supply while the outer parts of the brain get the
‘left-overs.’ She believes that nutrient or hormone
deficits affect cells and can result in a tumor or
memory loss. Dr. Riobe will answer all your questions
about cancer and the misinformation that surrounds the
prevention, diagnosis and treatment of this epidemic
and explain her new theory of cancer as an
opportunistic disease – how it acts like a parasite
attacking weakened immune systems. You’ll learn why the
US rate of cancer is 4x that of the Chinese and hear
about promising treatments that focus on finding and
fixing deficiencies. Dr. Riobe’s multi-faceted approach
combines traditional Chinese medicine with conventional
medicine. A dynamic, progressive integrative medical
doctor with over 15 years of experience, she’s the

Integrative Medicine.” Contact her at (772) 285-7788;

16. ==> ?What to Do When Your Friend is an Addict

We all know that addiction doesn’t just impact addicts;
it also shatters the lives of spouses, children and
friends. But what can loved ones actually do to help an
addict? Addiction counselor and former addict Kathy
Williamson says, “Many people feel helpless watching
someone they care about struggle with addiction but
there are actual things you can do to help an addict
get well.” She’ll discuss recovery programs, why
addiction is not a disease, and why the belief that
once an addict, always an addict is simply not true.
Williamson, whose 10-year-addiction to pain pills began
after a six-month hospitalization for recurring
pancreatitis, has been free of her addiction for 30
years and has never attended a recovery program. She’s
the author of “My Friend Is an Addict – What Can I Do?”

17. ==> It’s ‘Get Caught Reading’ Month!

Did you know May is a month dedicated to reading for
FUN? And what’s more fun than science fiction? Dr. Paul
Wand, author of “Earth 2.0 Exodus: Escaping our Doomed
Planet,” will entertain your audience by discussing all
things sci-fi. A science fiction fan since the original
Star Trek series in the ‘60s, he is well-versed not
only in the lore but also the FACTS behind the sci-fi
shows and movies we grew up with and love, and his
study of the trajectory of REAL science makes “science
fiction” more believable than ever. Are we closer than
we think to leaving Earth? Escaping our “doomed”
planet? Is our space program looking more like “Star
Wars” and “Lost in Space?” You’ll hear where future
Artificial Intelligence is heading, how the
configuration of a star ship would work, and why the
eventual demise of the Earth will most likely be caused
by the sun. Dr. Wand specializes in neurology by day.

18. ==> Could Hawaii’s Volcano Be Telling Us Something?

The Kilauea volcano in Hawaii continues to pose health
hazards, now adding toxic gas to its destruction of
homes and vehicles swallowed up by its fiery lava. But
are we headed for even worse calamity such as what
happened when Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980, in what
is to date the largest and most disruptive volcanic
event, spewing ashes over three states? Dr. Richard
Ruhling thinks so. And should this horrible event
occur, he believes it would be a warning from God of
His impending judgment on the U.S. and may be
accompanied by a large earthquake in the San Andreas
Fault. Invite him on your show to explain why God is
concerned about our claim to live “In God We Trust”
when we trust in money more and break his principles of
health and happiness outlined in a UCLA study. Ruhling
is a retired physician who taught Health Science; he
also attended Bible College. A seasoned talk show
guest, he has authored a number of books on Bible
prophecy and current events. His latest is “God Bless
America?” Reach him at (928) 583-7543 or

19. ==> Summer’s Coming! May is Water Safety Month

Summer’s coming and a big part of the season is being
outside, playing at the pool and beach, and swimming!
But along with the sun and fun comes countless horror
stories about kids and drowning incidents. Carolanne
Caron says everyone should be able to enjoy the water,
but there are definitely safety issues that need to be
taught to everyone, especially kids. She says, “Many
children don’t know what rules they should follow when
they’re near water and end up getting in a situation
over their skill level.” Carolanne, a swimming and
water safety expert, can share 10 rules to teach
children to be safer around the water. She’s the author
of “Water Safety with Swimmy” and “Swimmy’s Water

don’t know how to get started. Invite children’s author
and mother of three Rosie J. Pova to reveal what it
takes to stay motivated, complete your book, and

today’s kids don’t want to read their parents’
childhood books. She can also share insider industry
information such as why publishers don’t want rhyming
text, what kind of agent you need, whether you should
find your own illustrator, and what to realistically

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

1. ==> Trump, Israel and Iran

Donald Trump claimed in his remarks Tuesday announcing
the withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal that: “Last
week Israel published intelligence documents, long
concealed by Iran, conclusively showing the Iranians’
regime and its history of pursuing nuclear weapons.”
But Gareth Porter says that’s not true. “Netanyahu
hasn’t just repeated old history about an alleged
Iranian nuclear weapons program, he has revealed that
the whole collection of documents (that were used by
the Bush administration to indict Iran for having such
an alleged covert nuclear weapons program) was
fabricated by the Israelis themselves. Telling details
in his presentation not only show these are the
documents that surfaced in 2004 but that they were
crude forgeries.” Invite Porter to discuss evidence of
forgery of the entire collection of documents. Gareth
Porter is a noted independent investigative journalist
and author of the book “Manufactured Crisis: The Untold
Story of the Iran Nuclear Scare.” Contact him at
porter.gareth50@gmail.com; @GarethPorter

2. ==> Haspel, Torture and CIA

Under fire for her still-murky role in the CIA’s
imprisonment and torture of terrorism suspects after
the 9/11 attacks, Gina Haspel pledged Wednesday that
she would not allow the spy agency to restart the
troubled program if she is confirmed as director. Ivan
Eland says it’s not surprising that Trump has nominated
Haspel to the agency’s top spot. “It doesn’t bother the
president in the least that she oversaw a secret CIA
prison in Thailand where torture was reportedly
committed and then was complicit in destroying the
videos of such horrendous human rights abuse. Trump
seems to be exhibiting some of the same tendencies to
flout the law that the flagrantly lawless Bush
administration demonstrated. Congress should not
further enable such tendencies by confirming a CIA
nominee who already shown a blatant disregard of
American rule of law.” Ivan Eland is a senior fellow at
the Independent Institute and author of “Eleven
Presidents: Promises vs. Results in Achieving Limited
Government.” Contact Kate Brown at (202) 213-7051;

3. ==> How to Change Politics? Help Teens Vote

Galvanized by a school shooting in Parkland, Florida,
teenagers across the country have risen up in a wave of
protest against gun violence, joining young organizers
of color who have long spoken out against the scourge
of violence in their communities. But Emma Greenman
says turning that energy into lasting political power
requires more than protest. “We need to ensure young
people have access to the ballot, and vote, in numbers
unseen in recent memory. Young people have already
begun turning their anger in that direction,
encouraging voter registration as a top goal and
promoting registration drives in schools.” She’ll
discuss the myriad of obstacles to the ballot box many
young people face including the new restrictive voter
ID laws in states around the country. Emma Greenman is
director of Voting Rights and Democracy at the Center
for Popular Democracy. She has over 15 years of
experience working on democracy and justice issues as a
litigator, a policy expert and a political advocate.

4. ==> Mom Wants This (But a Gift’s OK Too)

Americans spend on average $124 dollars on Mother’s Day
gifts, for a total of over $30 billion. Flowers are
lovely and spa certificates are appreciated, but
sometimes you just don’t have the cash. Luckily for
you, Suzanne Wexler says what tired and overworked moms
often need most are gestures that come free of charge!
“Mothers want to know their family values their hard
work and considers their feelings. A few heartfelt
tokens of gratitude may be just as meaningful as a
gift, if not more. Especially moms with younger
children and babies!” Wexler has great no-cost ideas
for honoring all the moms in your life, and if you must
splurge, she’s also got advice on what will—and
won’t—be appreciated by Mom. Suzanne Wexler is a
Montreal-based culture and lifestyle expert who has
written over a hundred features and trend reports for
major Canadian newspapers. Her upcoming book of humor
memoir stories is “How to Swing Like a Southern Belle,

6. ==> How to Survive a Mom-less Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day can be an especially difficult time for
those who have lost their moms. Margo Lenmark, a grief
expert who grew up as the daughter of an undertaker and
lost her own mom, can help ease the sadness with her
wise insights into death and grieving. “Death is not
dead,” she says. “There are gifts in grieving. When
people die, they give gifts to people who are close to
them. People send messages in death that are very
clear.” Margo can share her own experiences with
receiving these messages and reveal how those who have
lost loved ones can do the same, as well as ways to
survive Mother’s Day with love, joy and peace. She can
also share what death can teach us about living the
best life possible. Margo is the author of “Light in
the Mourning: Memoirs of an Undertaker’s Daughter,”
which has received glowing endorsements from Deepak
Chopra and New York Times best-selling author Marci
Shimoff, among others. Contact her at (828) 260-0873;

7. ==> Why Trump’s Lies Matter

Before Donald Trump, the idea of having a president who
habitually fails to tell the truth and survives would
have been unthinkable. To his supporters, apparently
lies don’t matter, but Tony Selimi says they do, and
they hurt everyone. He’ll share five tips to
distinguish lies from the truth and help people avoid
the long term effect that distortion of the truth can
have on science, health care, education, mental,
emotional and physical health, and every facet of our
lives, putting us on a path to self-destruction. He
says, “If we don’t immunize against this virus of the
modern age, teach our children the importance of truth,
and have a conscious media and government, we are
heading towards a lonely planet in which the human
values we hold dear are totally forgotten.” Tony Selimi
is author of “A Path to Wisdom” and “#Loneliness – The
Virus of the Modern Age,” and co-creator of “Living My
Illusion- The Truth Hurts,” an award-winning
documentary. Tony has appeared on over 100 TV and radio
stations across the world. Contact him at +44 &8 1717

8. ==> Can #MeToo Victims Overcome Trauma of Sexual
Assault?

The #MeToo movement has put a spotlight on sexual
harassment and assault, not only in the entertainment
business but in women’s lives in general. Can victims
ever lead normal lives after experiencing such trauma?
Mind-body-spirit expert Arnoux Goran, says, “It is
possible to permanently overcome the pain, anger, and
shame of sexual assault so that the worst trauma
imaginable no longer affects you.” His successful
method to reprogram yourself has been studied by the
University of California, Irvine, and shown dramatic
results. Goran can also discuss men who have been
victims of sexual assault and are too afraid to talk
about it and how not dealing with emotional trauma can
lead to additional health issues like emotional eating.
His forthcoming book, “The Answer: How to Change Your
Life and Make Your Dreams Come True,” reveals how to
release negative emotions permanently and truly change
your life by addressing the cause of repeating
patterns. Goran has been featured on radio and
television. Contact him at (877) 680-8200 (CA);

9. ==> Why Be Concerned About Africa?

Sylvanus Ayeni warns that the security of the world is
at stake as long as the widespread poverty in the
nations of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) continues to
worsen. “As perpetrators of terror are driven from
their enclaves in the Middle East and elsewhere, these
poor nations in SSA with dilapidated infrastructure and
defense apparatus could become safe havens for
terrorist organizations.” Ayeni says another area of
concern is the threat of global epidemics. “The
2014/2015 Ebola epidemic which began in West Africa is
a reminder of the global consequences of the poor
healthcare systems in the nations of SSA.” Ayeni, a
retired neurosurgeon, author, and speaker, was born and
raised in Nigeria. His 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 president of Pan
Africa Children Advocacy Watch (PACAW) Inc. Contact him

10. ==> Would You Be a Whistleblower? Should You?

Roughly half of all workers say they witness crimes or
wrongdoing at their workplace but only 3% blow the
whistle to the authorities. While some portray
whistleblowers are snitches, Michael McCray says it
takes courage and tenacity to speak out and stand up.
Invite the public interest advocate to explain why so
few come forward and whether the culture is changing.
McCray blew the whistle on $40M of fraud during the
Clinton Administration and has become one of the
world’s foremost proponents for whistleblowers. In his
book “Race, Power & Politics” McCray gives the inside
story of ACORN (Association of Community Organizations
for Reform Now). He also hosts the Whistleblower Summit
for Civil & Human Rights, the largest and most
prestigious whistleblower conference on Capitol Hill,
on July 30th, National Whistleblower Appreciation Day.

11. ==> What’s Really Behind Lousy Customer Service?

When was the last time you were in a store where the
employees greeted you by name, helped you find what you
were looking for, made you feel important and looked
like they were having fun? According to business
leadership expert Bonnie Sussman-Versace, this scenario
is likely to play out at only 10 percent of U.S.
companies—but it should be the norm. Bonnie will share
examples of companies that make customers feel like
kings and queens and what we can learn from them.
She’ll also explain why the first step in providing
good customer service is for companies to honor and
value their own employees. As a child, Bonnie learned
the value of good customer service in her parents’
retail clothing business. She went on to manage her own
a $4.5 million commercial design and furnishing
business known for its excellent customer service
before evolving into a business consultant. She can
answer such questions as: Why do so many companies fail
to deliver on their stated goal of giving the best
possible customer service? What company closed their
Indian call center and opened one in the U.S.? What are
companies like Wegmans and DoubleTree by Hilton doing
that is worth emulating? For added fun, have listeners
call in with their best or worst customer service
stories for a chance to win a copy of Bonnie’s book,
“Recipes for Thoughtful Leadership and Healthy
Culture.” She is the author of numerous articles for

13. ==> Punch Pollen in the Nose Naturally

We know. Every year we hear how bad allergy season is,

wheezing, runny eyes and nose without getting all doped
up on allergy medicine? Invite Dr. Kathleen Fry to
explain an alternative to the allergy treadmill that’s

inhaled pollen can cause itching in dogs. Invite Dr.

15. ==> Traumatic Brain Injury: How to Heal the Brain

We often hear about concussions and other brain
injuries involving pro football players, but ordinary
people, including one-in-five teens, also sustain these
injuries causing headaches, nausea, dizziness,
insomnia, depression, lack of concentration, and more.
Invite Susana Stoica, Ph.D., to discuss her difficult
15-year battle to recover from a brain injury and how
others can avoid the same mistakes. Dr. Stoica will

injury, whether the body can ever completely heal from
a brain trauma, and how conventional medical treatments
fail to address all the components of healing the
brain. You’ll learn the physical and emotional toll of
brain injuries on sufferers and their families, as well
as how anyone can improve their brain function at any
age. Susana Stoica, Ph.D., the founder of Healing

World” with Leo’s widow, the incomparable Phyllis
Fender. Entertaining and informative, Dr. Bell will
discuss the experiences and musical instrument
developments that made Leo Fender a household name, the
countless artists (from Buddy Holly and Elvis to Keith
Richards, Buck Owens, and Jimi Hendrix) who swore by
the Fender name, and Leo himself, humble yet brilliant,
whose innovations influenced every person who has ever
heard a song. Ask Dr. Bell about the journey Leo took
to electric instrument excellence and to the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame. A Fender family friend for decades
(Bell’s dad even led Leo Fender’s research and
development department), he’ll share inspiring stories
behind the Fender Legacy. Contact Cierra Ashdown at

17. ==> Amazing True Story – ‘Through the Fire’

On July 10th, 2007, a NASCAR plane crashed into a house
in a suburban subdivision in Sanford, Florida. A young
mother and son died, as did the pilot and a passenger.
The fuel tank broke loose and crashed into Pete
Dechat’s home, exploding and killing his four-year-old
daughter Gabi. Pete sustained serious burns over 96% of
his body while trying to find and rescue her. Doctors
said he wouldn’t live. Then they said he wouldn’t see.
Or walk. But they were wrong. Invite Pete to share his
incredible story which includes having his wife leave

18. ==> Your Friend is an Addict – What Can You Do?

We all know that addiction doesn’t just impact addicts;
it also shatters the lives of spouses, children and
friends. But what can loved ones actually do to help an
addict? Addiction counselor and former addict Kathy
Williamson says, “Many people feel helpless watching
someone they care about struggle with addiction but
there are actual things you can do to help an addict
get well.” She’ll discuss recovery programs, why
addiction is not a disease, and why the belief that
once an addict, always an addict is simply not true.

years and has never attended a recovery program. She’s

19. ==> When Alzheimer’s Strikes Early

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, 5.5 million
people – 1 in 10 individuals – age 65 and older are
living with Alzheimer’s. But even more startling, is
the number of cases involving people under 65. The
group says the exact numbers are hard to pin down, but
clearly much higher than previously acknowledged. A
diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer’s can be
devastating. Families fear the years ahead, considering
the worrisome health intervention, physical and mental
decline expected for the afflicted, and the myriad
issues related to caregiving. Carlen Maddux’s wife
Martha was diagnosed at age 50. Their odyssey lasted 17
years. He’ll share insights on altering your home life,
telling/involving the kids, and whether movies like
“Still Alice” get it right. Plus, hear Carlen’s tips on

adults suffering from arthritis, both physically and
emotionally. José de la Torre can show listeners how to
effectively manage their arthritic pain with a set of
five ancient Tibetan exercises, which they can practice

issues may also be involved, and not just because you
carry the same genes. “If Mom or daughter is sick, it
drains the health of the other. If Mom or daughter is
well, it feeds the health of the other. This dynamic is
most often shown in the digestive system because the
digestive system is about taking in nourishment. This
means that diseases like irritable bowel syndrome, acid
reflux, and indigestion may be related to the
relationships within the familial female lineage.
Perhaps this is why your mom might be suffering from
depression and why you can’t seem to cure your tummy
problems.” Dr. April Schulte is a Doctor of
Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and is a leading
expert in integrative and collaborative medicine. She
runs a successful integrative and collaborative care
practice in Colorado and is the author of the upcoming
book “Your Health Matters.” Contact her at (970)

6. ==> Salute Superhero Single Moms

Whether divorced, widowed or a single-parent by choice,
some moms are on duty 24/7 and deserve special
acknowledgement for their superhuman stamina on
Mother’s Day. Invite Sara Sherman, BA, MS, to talk
about ways to honor single moms, what they really want
for Mother’s Day, and how despite the enormous
challenges involved, she’s managed to raise her
children while earning two degrees AND working full-
time! A speaker, blogger, coach and creator of the Kick
Ass Single Mom Life movement, Sara is the author of

7. ==> It’s Time Mom Puts Herself First

This Sunday is Mother’s Day, a time to celebrate the
woman who raised us, often putting her needs ahead of
ours. But according to Suzette Webb, it’s also a time
to offer mothers the chance to let go of the notion
that they have to put themselves last in order to be a
good mom. Invite this inspiring guest on air to
encourage mothers everywhere to set aside time to
engage in activities that bring them joy—and not just
on Mother’s Day—because a mother who engages in play is
an even better role model. Whether it’s gardening,
coloring, a spa treatment or going out with girlfriends
or having a tea party to celebrate their own
accomplishments, Suzette will help mothers recharge,
particularly those who are the glue holding it all
together for everyone else at home, work or both. In
fact, she’ll explain how women can relinquish their
role as the family glue to become like Velcro (being
there when needed, but detaching when necessary) and
Teflon (allowing some things to slide and take their
own natural course). 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)

8. ==> Mother Knows Best – Mothers of Society

Mother’s Day is a celebration honoring all mothers,
from birth mothers to mothers of society. Although
physical gifts are wonderful to receive, there is no
greater gift of knowledge. Nita Wiggins says there are
many mother influencers today that we can learn from.
“What if Rosa Parks, a woman, a mother, never stood up
for herself? She defended her people and advocated for
them as mothers do. Mothers stand up for what is right,
their children, and for the greater good.” Rosa Parks
was a mother to civil rights and influenced Wiggins the
day she hugged her, to write her own story of civil
injustice and become a defendant for those
discriminated in the workplace. With many
discriminating acts, sexual harassments acts, and
unequal opportunities still plaguing society, Wiggins
will share how she became a mother to society by
speaking on racial discrimination and discrimination of
women in the media and what she is doing about the
problems. Contact her at nitadallas@yahoo.com

9. ==> Mom: Just Say ‘No!’ on Mother’s Day

What’s Mom doing this Mother’s Day? Dr. Saundra Dalton-
Smith hopes she’ll spend her day saying no. As
everyone’s go-to when someone is hungry or hurt,
something is lost or needs fixing, Mom gives more than
her fair share, and then some. This Mother’s Day, Dr.
Saundra challenges Mom to take charge of her day just
by saying “no.” No cooking, cleaning, chores. No taking
on other people’s workloads, fighting somebody else’s
battles. Mom needs to relax, recharge, and refresh.
Talk to Dr. Saundra about the seven different ways Mom
(and everyone else) needs to rest so she can be the
happy, healthy woman you can celebrate with every day
of the year. Dr. Saundra’s advice and expertise has
been featured in Woman’s Day and Prevention magazines.

major assignments. His new memoir is “The 11th
Commandment.” Contact Dr. David Trucker at

11. ==> May – Brain Cancer Awareness Month

Did you know that brain tumors rarely form in the very
center of the brain? Mylaine Riobe, MD, FACOG says it’s
because that area of the brain gets the freshest blood
supply while the outer parts of the brain get the
‘left-overs.’ She believes that nutrient or hormone
deficits affect cells and can result in a tumor or
memory loss. Dr. Riobe will answer all your questions
about cancer and the misinformation that surrounds the
prevention, diagnosis and treatment of this epidemic
and explain her new theory of cancer as an
opportunistic disease – how it acts like a parasite
attacking weakened immune systems. You’ll learn why the
US rate of cancer is 4x that of the Chinese and hear
about promising treatments that focus on finding and
fixing deficiencies. Dr. Riobe’s multi-faceted approach
combines traditional Chinese medicine with conventional
medicine. A dynamic, progressive integrative medical
doctor with over 15 years of experience, she’s the
author of “The Answer to Cancer” and “The Tao of
Integrative Medicine.” Contact her at (772) 285-7788;

12. ==> The Best Pain Treatments

For decades we’ve been told that the best pain
treatment is opioids, but we’ve been deceived. Opioids
are unsafe and not as effective as advertised. Chronic
pain expert Cindy Perlin says “Much suffering can be
avoided and many lives can be saved if more physicians
and pain patients knew about the many safe and
effective alternative pain treatments that are
available”. Cindy Perlin is a licensed clinical social
worker, certified biofeedback practitioner, chronic

years and has been a guest on numerous radio and TV
shows. Contact her at (518) 439-6431 or at

13. ==> Why Businesses Should Hire Boomers Instead of
Millennials

There is an illegal but persistent prejudice in hiring
practices today, with recruiters and employers using
technology tools to screen out older workers who never
get a chance at a job interview. But it shouldn’t be
that way, according to Diane Huth, marketing expert and
career coach. Let her share the 10 key reasons
employers should (but don’t yet) value mature workers,
and how baby boomers can leverage those insights to
keep their current job or find a new or better one.
Explore with Diane the disconnect between the hiring
goals of the CEO and the young HR team that screen out
older workers before their resume is ever seen by a
prospective boss. She’ll also share the secret way job
seekers can leapfrog the HR department to network their
way to career success directly with their hiring
manager or C-suite executive. Diane’s book, “Brand You!
To Re-Invent Your Career,” will be released this
summer. Reach her at (210) 601-7852 or

19. ==> Eric Stogner Wants to Talk about Death

While his wife Katie was dying from cancer, Eric
Stogner had a vivid dream where an angel showed him the
preparations being made for her in Heaven – God’s
Country. Then five people told him of THEIR visions
involving his wife. Immediately, any dread Eric
previously had about death vanished and his concept of
God did an about-face. “I’d thought of God as a genius
clockmaker who’d set the world in place then put it on
the shelf to wind down by itself, but I suddenly saw
how God is active in the details of life.” Hear about
Eric’s surreal dream as well as those of a friend who
had a vision of Katie dancing with Jesus, and a 10-

1. ==> Netanyahu’s Prolonged Disinformation Campaign

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered a
robust defense Tuesday of a dramatic presentation in
which he accused Iran of “brazenly lying” over its
nuclear ambitions, after claims that he had revealed
nothing new. Journalist Gareth Porter says, “Netanyahu
hasn’t just repeated old history about an alleged
Iranian nuclear weapons program, as news media have
suggested in their coverage of his theatrical
presentation. He has revealed that the whole collection
of documents (that were used by the Bush administration
to indict Iran for having such an alleged covert
nuclear weapons program) was fabricated by the Israelis
themselves. Telling details in his presentation not
only show these are the documents that surfaced in 2004
but that they were crude forgeries.” Invite Porter to
discuss evidence of forgery of the entire collection of
documents. Gareth Porter is a noted independent
investigative journalist and author of the book
“Manufactured Crisis: The Untold Story of the Iran
Nuclear Scare.” Contact him at

2. ==> Who Wants a Sprint T-Mobile Merger?

After years of talks and two break-ups, T-Mobile and
Sprint finally agreed to their $26 billion telecom
merger. Now, regulators will take a look at the plan
and Matt Wood is among those hoping it gets a thumbs-
down. “No one but T-Mobile and Sprint executives and
Wall Street brokers wants to see this merger go
through. Greed and a desire to reach deeper into
people’s wallets by taking away their choices are the
only things motivating this deal. The combined entity
here would just use this deal to line its own pockets,
pay down the massive debt these companies carry, and
reward shareholders with more stock buybacks. It would
fund further acquisitions of content companies, too.”
Matt Wood is Policy Director at Free Press. Free Press

equal access to media and technology. Contact Timothy
Karr at tkarr@freepress.net, @freepress

3. ==> The Story of WWII’s Flying Tigers

Listeners may recall images of the shark-face nose art
on the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, but they may not know the
story behind the pilots who flew the iconic planes.
Invite Samuel Kleiner to share the story of 300
American pilots who were secretly recruited to defend
the nation’s desperate Chinese allies before Pearl
Harbor and ended up on the front lines of the war
against the Japanese in the Pacific. You’ll hear
fascinating details of the mission, including how the
group traveled to Burma in the fall of 1941 under false
identities and trained with legendary general Claire
Chennault with the idea that they would be supporting
Chiang Kai-shek’s China in its battle with Japan. They
were consequently in place when Pearl Harbor was bombed
and the Flying Tigers began their first flights 12 days
later, helping to keep the Japanese occupied as U.S.
troops were built up. Samuel Kleiner is the author of
“The Flying Tigers: The Untold Story of the American
Pilots Who Waged a Secret War Against Japan.” Contact

6. ==> It’s Time Moms Stop Putting Their Needs Last!

May 13 is Mother’s Day, a time to celebrate the woman
who raised us, often putting her needs ahead of ours.
But according to Suzette Webb, it’s also a time to

8. ==> Mother’s Day When Mom is the Worst

Mother’s Day is coming and for some people,
particularly women, the holiday is fraught with
landmines. How do you even pick out a card let alone a
gift for a mother who has been hard to please,
belittles you or makes you feel bad about yourself? For
many women (and men) Mother’s Day is something to
ignore or get over with as quickly as possible. Carol-
Ann Hamilton can relate because she grew up with a
mother who was paranoid and schizophrenic. Bring Carol-
Ann on your show to hear how Mother’s Day can be a time
to heal yourself from the aftereffects of less-than-
perfect parenting. She’ll share tips for putting the
past behind you including how she was able to give her
mother’s eulogy truthfully without sugarcoating her
problem behaviors. Carol-Ann is a delightful media

9. ==> Why Should We Be Concerned About Africa?

Sylvanus Ayeni warns that the security of the world is
at stake as long as the widespread poverty in the
nations of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) continues to
worsen. “As perpetrators of terror are driven from
their enclaves in the Middle East and elsewhere, these
poor nations in SSA with dilapidated infrastructure and
defense apparatus could become safe havens for
terrorist organizations.” Ayeni says another area of
concern is the threat of global epidemics. “The
2014/2015 Ebola epidemic which began in West Africa is
a reminder of the global consequences of the poor
healthcare systems in the nations of SSA.” Ayeni, a
retired neurosurgeon, author, and speaker, was born and
raised in Nigeria. His 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 president of Pan

10. ==> Create Your Own Midlife Job Security

What happens when you’re too young to retire, but too
old to hire? A sudden job loss could throw your current
lifestyle a curve unless you’re prepared. Hovey Smith
says the only job security that anyone holds is what
they can control. The author of “Create Your Own Job
Security by Starting Your Own Business at Midlife,” can
discuss how to examine short, medium and long-term
business opportunities that you can have ready to
launch when you need it most. From E-Bay sales to new
products, providing services and even the arts, Smith
says just about anything you can imagine can be turned
into a moneymaking opportunity and it’s a myth that a
person can do only one business in his lifetime. Hovey
Smith is the author of 15 books and has produced
hundreds of YouTube videos. With multiple academic
degrees, he has spoken at business forums in China and
Austria. Contact him at (478) 552-7455;

11. ==> The Secret to Building a Profitable Business

The #1 reason to go into business is to make money.
Yet, many small businesses aren’t very profitable. In
fact, many business owners work harder and earn less
than their counterparts in the workforce. But it

a business and money coach, will explain the process of
building a profitable business and a secure financial
future at the same time. Invite her to share basic
strategies like planning and cash flow to help the
entrepreneurs in your audience build better businesses

Cheap Relief

Spring has sprung! The trees are budding, the flowers
are blooming and the birds are singing. While it’s
beautiful to behold, it can be agony for people with
seasonal allergies. Many sufferers spend a small

Kathleen Fry says there is an alternative to the
allergy treadmill that’s safe, effective, inexpensive

13. ==> Never be Wrong Again

Whether you’re contemplating a career change, buying a
house or a move across the country, we all face big

14. ==> Traumatic Brain Injuries – It’s Not Just
Athletes

We often hear about concussions and other brain
injuries involving pro football players, but ordinary
people, including one-in-five teens, also sustain these
injuries causing headaches, nausea, dizziness,
insomnia, depression, lack of concentration, and more.
Invite Susana Stoica, Ph.D., to discuss her difficult
15-year battle to recover from a brain injury and how
others can avoid the same mistakes. Dr. Stoica will
discuss what to do after suffering a brain trauma, how
to limit post-trauma brain swelling or secondary brain
injury, whether the body can ever completely heal from
a brain trauma, and how conventional medical treatments
fail to address all the components of healing the
brain. You’ll learn the physical and emotional toll of

Springtime means baseball, and Little Leaguers
everywhere are gearing up and taking to the field.
Parents, coaches, and the kids themselves expect the
bumps and bruises that come with hard ball play, but

outside, playing at the pool and beach, and swimming!
But along with the sun and fun comes countless horror
stories about kids and drowning incidents. Carolanne
Caron says everyone should be able to enjoy the water,
but there are definitely safety issues that need to be
taught to everyone, especially kids. She says, “Many
children don’t know what rules they should follow when
they’re near water and end up getting in a situation
over their skill level.” Carolanne, a swimming and
water safety expert, can share 10 rules to teach
children to be safer around the water. She’s the author

20. ==> The Secret to Eating Just One Chip

Salty, crispy, crunchy, yummy. Nothing beats the
comforting taste of potato chips. Yet most of us can’t
stop at just one. In fact, many of us can’t stop until
the whole bag is empty. Enter Sora Vernikoff. She can
teach your audience how to use her simple Green
Technique to satisfyingly eat just one potato chip and
stop or, in fact, to eat whatever you want, stop when
you want and become thin. Turning conventional wisdom

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

1. ==> Trump Fumbled the Caravan

Donald Trump is threatening to place soldiers on the
U.S.-Mexico border to face off against a thousand-
strong caravan of Central Americans who started in
Honduras and slowly wound their way through Mexico to
enter los Estados Unidos. Gustavo Arellano says, “The
bizarre thing is that Trump could’ve actually scored
some points off of this situation and not put our
national security at risk by trying to construct a
modern-day (and likely equally successful) Maginot
Line.” He adds, “If any of those in the caravan get
sent back and die at the hands of the people they
traveled so far to escape, the blood will be on Trump’s
hands. Our troops deserve better than to be used as
pawns in some reality-show reality by a power-hungry
and attention-seeking tyrant.” Gustavo Arellano is the
former editor of OC Weekly, an alternative newspaper in
Orange County, California, author of “Orange County: A
Personal History” and “Taco USA: How Mexican Food
Conquered America,” and a lecturer with the Chicana and
Chicano Studies department at California State
University, Fullerton. His commentaries regularly
appear on Marketplace and the Los Angeles Times.

2. ==> From Homeless Immigrant to Best-Selling Author

As a caravan of immigrants sits in Tijuana, Mexico
awaiting their fate, award-winning author Tony J.
Selimi remembers his own journey to freedom from
Macedonia where he was forced to fight in a civil war
he despised. He says, “To save my life, my late mother
put me on a one-way flight to the UK. I went from being
a teenage victim of war to living homeless on the
streets of London.” 28-years later Selimi now teaches
people all over the globe the importance of embracing
the gifts and the challenges migrant and refugees bring
to society and the world.” Tony will share why he
believes migrants are a conduit for more light and an
opportunity to self-reflect on our disempowered states
that we blame the most vulnerable for. Tony J. Selimi
is author of “A Path to Wisdom” and “#Loneliness – The
Virus of the Modern Age,” and co-creator of “Living My
Illusion- The Truth Hurts,” an award-winning
documentary. Tony has appeared on over 100 TV and radio
stations across the world. Contact him at +44 &8 1717

3. ==> The Sprint/T-Mobile Merger and You

Sprint and T-Mobile are close to merging. If the deal
is approved, the resulting company would be the
nation’s second-biggest wireless carrier after Verizon,
controlling roughly 100 million customers. What will
that really mean to consumers? Shelly Palmer says,
“Practically nothing now. But in a few years, a merged
SprinT will be one of three 5G providers in the US.”
Wondering what that could mean? Palmer can discuss the
proposed merger and the five things 5G should make you
think about. Shelly Palmer is well-known as Fox 5 New
York’s on-air tech expert and for his work on the TV
show, Shelly Palmer Digital Living. He is also a

4. ==> Cosby Mentally Preparing for Prison

His attorneys might still be talking about innocence
and appeals, but according to published reports Bill
Cosby is mentally preparing himself for prison. “This
is what they wanted,” the 80-year-old actor/comedian
told Page Six after a Pennsylvania jury found him
guilty Thursday of drugging and sexually assaulting
Andrea Constand. Invite clinical forensic psychologist
Dr. John Huber to talk about Cosby’s transition to
prison if he is ordered to serve time behind bars and
how his demeanor changed over the course of the trial.
A mental health professional for over twenty years, Dr.
Huber is a clinical forensic psychologist and chairman
of Mainstream Mental Health, a non-profit organization.

5. ==> Award-Winning Documentary ‘What Haunts Us’

The critically-acclaimed documentary What Haunts Us
arrives in theaters and on STARZ this month. Directed
by Paige Goldberg Tolmach, the film looks at the 1979
graduating class of Paige’s alma mater, the prestigious
Porter Gaud School in Charleston, SC. Forty-nine boys
graduated that year; six of them would later commit
suicide. Upon learning the news of her classmates,
Paige took a deeper look into the school’s past and
uncovers the truth about a beloved teacher who molested
many of his students for years. Paige’s obsession was
to find out how this could have happened in plain view,
and as it turns out, with the school’s knowledge. Paige
will discuss the new award-winning film, how she was
able to uncover the truth and get answers to the
questions no one wanted to hear, and what she hopes
viewers will take away. What Haunts Us opens in
theaters May 11th and premieres on STARZ May 14th.

6. ==> Moms: Just Say “No!” on Mother’s Day

What’s Mom doing this Mother’s Day? Dr. Saundra Dalton-
Smith hopes she’ll spend her day saying no. As
everyone’s go-to when someone is hungry or hurt,
something is lost or needs fixing, Mom gives more than
her fair share, and then some. This Mother’s Day, Dr.
Saundra challenges Mom to take charge of her day just
by saying “no.” No cooking, cleaning, chores. No taking
on other people’s workloads, fighting somebody else’s
battles. Mom needs to relax, recharge, and refresh.
Talk to Dr. Saundra about the seven different ways Mom
(and everyone else) needs to rest so she can be the
happy, healthy woman you can celebrate with every day
of the year. 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. ==> When Mother’s Day Hurts

Here it comes, the annual reminder of what may be
unpleasant realities. Whether your mother is recently
deceased and you miss her dreadfully, or she’s very
ill, or you’ve been caring for her these last few years
and she no longer knows who you are, Mother’s Day isn’t
necessarily a happy day for everyone. Sheila Collins,
PhD, an expert on grief, loss, and self-care for
caregivers, has practical advice for those whose
Mother’s Day won’t look like a Hallmark ad. An author,
improv comedian, and dancing social worker, Dr. Collins
will bring a playful humorous touch to the conversation
and offer ways to take care of yourself, no matter what
your ‘mother challenge’ may be—your own mother or being
a mom yourself. Sheila Collins’ upcoming book with co-
author Christine Gautreaux is “Stillpoint: A Self-care
Playbook for Caregivers to Find Ease, Time to Breathe,
and Reclaim Joy.” Contact Dr. Collins at (817)
706-4967.

8. ==> Free Mother’s Day Gifts She’ll Love

Americans spend on average $124 dollars on Mother’s Day
gifts, for a total of over $30 billion. Flowers are
lovely and spa certificates are appreciated, but
sometimes you just don’t have the cash. Luckily for
you, Suzanne Wexler says what tired and overworked moms
often need most are gestures that come free of charge!
“Mothers want to know their family values their hard
work and considers their feelings. A few heartfelt
tokens of gratitude may be just as meaningful as a
gift, if not more. Especially moms with younger
children and babies!” Wexler has great no-cost ideas
for honoring all the moms in your life, and if you must
splurge, she’s also got advice on what will—and
won’t—be appreciated by Mom. Suzanne Wexler is a
Montreal-based culture and lifestyle expert who has
written over a hundred features and trend reports for
major Canadian newspapers. Her upcoming book of humor
memoir stories is “How to Swing Like a Southern Belle,
even if you’re Frozen in the North.” Contact her at

10. ==> Snitches or Heroes? Whistleblowers

Roughly half (47%) of all workers witness crimes or
wrongdoing at their workplace but only 3% have the
courage and tenacity to blow the whistle to the
authorities. Invite Michael McCray, an author, speaker
and public interest advocate, to explain why. McCray
blew the whistle on $40M of fraud during the Clinton
Administration and has become one of the world’s
foremost proponents for whistleblowers. In his book
“Race, Power & Politics” McCray gives the inside story
of ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for
Reform Now). He also hosts the Whistleblower Summit for
Civil & Human Rights, the largest and most prestigious
whistleblower conference on Capitol Hill, on July 30th,
National Whistleblower Appreciation Day. Contact him at

11. ==> May 4th is National Star Wars Day!

Are we closer than we think to leaving Earth? Escaping
our “doomed” planet? Is our space program looking more
like Star Wars and Lost in Space? Interview Dr. Paul
Wand, author of “Earth 2.0 Exodus: Escaping our Doomed
Planet,” about how factual these shows really are.
He’ll entertain your audience by discussing all things
sci-fi and explain how the development of quantum
computers – now a reality – will change everything.
Wand’s study of the trajectory of real science makes
science fiction more believable than ever! A science
fiction fan since the original Star Trek series in the
‘60s, Wand is well versed not only in the lore but also
the facts behind the science fictions shows and movies
we have all grown up with and love. Dr. Wand, who
specializes in Neurology by day, has created a unique
“factual science fiction” genre that gives him the
inside track on where future Artificial Intelligence
might be heading, why the configuration of his star
ship could work, and why the eventual demise of the
Earth will most likely be caused by the sun. Contact
Dr. Paul Wand at (954) 344-9772; paulwandmd@gmail.com

12. ==> How to Work Well with Obnoxious Coworkers

What can you do when success at work depends on
uncooperative, nasty people? How productive can you be
when rude, obnoxious, argumentative people impede your
progress at every step? Author, communication expert,
and conflict resolution specialist Tamara Dorris will
discuss tactics she uses to heal rifts between warring
factions within corporations. She’ll discuss why
certain people just can’t get along and reveal ways to

Company and Good Day Sacramento. Contact her at (916)

13. ==> Corporate America’s Dirty Little Secret: Ageism
Exists

Corporate America has a dirty little secret – companies
are discarding their older employers like yesterday’s
newspaper, just because of their age. But according to
career coach Diane Huth, it doesn’t have to be that
way. Huth coaches baby boomers on five key things they
need to do to keep their current job or find a new one.
You’ll learn the single most important task any older
worker must focus on, how keeping up on skills and
certifications is imperative and low-and no-cost ways
to achieve and keep career relevance. Diane also urges
workers to look as young as they can without looking
silly and will share easy ways to look 10 – 15 years
younger fast. Diane Huth’s new book “Brand You! To Re-
Invent Your Career” will be released this summer.

14. ==> Shocking Facts about Traumatic Brain Injuries

We often hear about concussions and other brain
injuries involving pro football players, but ordinary
people, including one-in-five teens, also sustain these
injuries causing headaches, nausea, dizziness,
insomnia, depression, lack of concentration, and more.
Invite Susana Stoica, Ph.D., to discuss her difficult
15-year battle to recover from a brain injury and how
others can avoid the same mistakes. Dr. Stoica will
discuss what to do after suffering a brain trauma, how
to limit post-trauma brain swelling or secondary brain
injury, whether the body can ever completely heal from
a brain trauma, and how conventional medical treatments
fail to address all the components of healing the
brain. You’ll learn the physical and emotional toll of
brain injuries on sufferers and their families, as well

15. ==> Ancient Arthritis Relief that Works

Arthritis can be debilitating and painful. Pills can be
dangerous and alternative therapies aren’t usually
covered by health insurance. But a new study published
in the Journal of Complementary Therepeutic Medicine
this month finds that movement therapies can help
adults suffering from arthritis, both physically and
emotionally. José de la Torre can show listeners how to
effectively manage their arthritic pain with a set of
five ancient Tibetan exercises, which they can practice
at any time. Jose says the movements help alleviate
symptoms of both osteoarthritis, as well as rheumatoid
arthritis. Jose holds a degree in mathematics from

16. ==> May – Brain Cancer Awareness Month

Do you know why brain tumors rarely form in the very
center of the brain? Dr. Mylaine Riobe, MD, FACOG says
it’s because that area of the brain gets the freshest
blood supply while the outer parts of the brain get the
‘left-overs.’ She believes that nutrient or hormone
deficit then affect cells and can result in a tumor or
memory loss. She’ll answer all your questions about
cancer and the misinformation that surrounds the
prevention, diagnosis and treatment of this epidemic
and explain her new theory of cancer as an
opportunistic disease – how it acts like a parasite
attacking weakened immune systems. You’ll learn why the
US rate of cancer is 4x that of the Chinese and hear
about promising treatments that focus on finding and
fixing deficiencies. Dr. Riobe’s multi-faceted approach
combines TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) with

1. ==> Trade Doesn’t Kill Jobs

Many Americans now cheering President Trump’s
willingness to fight a trade war with China no doubt
believe that trade in recent years with that Asian
nation has destroyed too many American jobs. But Donald
Boudreaux says relative to overall routine job
destruction and creation — “job churn” — the number of
American jobs destroyed by trade is minuscule. He
argues that the major source of job destruction and
creation is technological innovation. “President
Trump’s protectionism will simply not create the
multitude of jobs that its champions predict. Far
worse, however, is the fact that the longer we tolerate
this hostility to one particular source of economic
change and growth, the more likely we are to grow
hostile to technological innovation and other more
significant sources of economic change and growth. And
it would then become impossible to make America great
again.” Donald Boudreaux is a professor of economics
and a senior fellow at the Mercatus Center at George
Mason University. Contact him at (703) 993-1157;

2. ==> Georgia May Elect 1st Black Woman Governor

Stacey Abrams is vying to become Georgia’s next
governor, and the first black female governor in the
history of the United States. You might be surprised—an
African American woman governor of a red Southern
state—but political expert Christina Greer says her
credentials are solid and she could very well make
history.” The Democratic primary is May 22nd and it
remains to be seen whether Georgians are ready to elect
a black woman to lead. I do know that if her race and
gender were white and male, there would be no question
that Abrams would be handpicked and anointed as the
future of the Democratic Party.” She notes that If
Abrams is victorious in the primary she’ll likely face
an opponent with a near perfect grade from the NRA as
compared to her proud F-rating. Christina Greer is an
assistant professor of political science at Fordham
University Lincoln Center campus. Contact her at (212)

3. ==> RIP Schoolhouse Rock’s Bob Dorough

Cultural critic Gene Seymour says, “Millions of
Americans, and many more throughout the world, just
lost their favorite civics teacher.” In an Op-Ed for
CNN Seymour remembers Schoolhouse Rock creator Bob
Dorough, who died this week at the age of 94. “Although
nobody who watched Schoolhouse Rock animated shorts on

4. ==> Creepy History – NYC’s Insane Asylums and
Prisons

Roosevelt Island a place you might go for a quiet,
residential escape from nearby Queens and Manhattan.
But in the 19th-century, it was a place to which you
were sentenced—a place for the criminal, insane, and
deathly ill. Then called Blackwell’s Island, it housed
a lunatic asylum, two prisons, a poor house, and a
number of public hospitals. It was conceived as the
most modern, humane facility the world had ever seen,
but quickly became, in the words of a visiting Charles
Dickens, “a lounging, listless madhouse in all its
naked ugliness and horror.” Invite Stacy Horn, author
of “Damnation Island: Poor, Sick, Mad, & Criminal in
19th-Century New York,” to share the first contemporary
investigative account of Blackwell’s Island. Horn is
the author of five nonfiction books and the founder of
the social network Echo: the virtual salon of NYC.

6. ==> When Mother’s Day Makes You Cry

Here it comes, the annual reminder of what may be
unpleasant realities. Whether your mother is recently
deceased and you miss her dreadfully, or she’s very
ill, or you’ve been caring for her these last few years
and she no longer knows who you are, Mother’s Day isn’t
necessarily a happy day for everyone. Sheila Collins,

7. ==> Free Gifts Every Mom Will Love

Americans spend on average $124 dollars on Mother’s Day
gifts, for a total of over $30 billion. Flowers are
lovely and spa certificates are appreciated, but
sometimes you just don’t have the cash. Luckily for
you, Suzanne Wexler says what tired and overworked moms
often need most are gestures that come free of charge.
“Mothers want to know their family values their hard
work and considers their feelings. A few heartfelt
tokens of gratitude may be just as meaningful as a
gift, if not more. Especially moms with younger
children and babies!” Wexler has great no-cost ideas
for honoring all the moms in your life, and if you must
splurge, she’s also got advice on what will—and
won’t—be appreciated by Mom. Suzanne Wexler is a
Montreal-based culture and lifestyle expert who has
written over a hundred features and trend reports for
major Canadian newspapers. Her upcoming book of humor
memoir stories is “How to Swing Like a Southern Belle,
Even if you’re Frozen in the North.” Contact her at

8. ==> What is Racial Bias Training?

The Internet went wild when a video was posted of two
black men being escorted out of a Starbucks by police
in Philadelphia after the men asked to use the restroom
and refused to leave. Nita Wiggins, author of “Civil
Rights Baby,” says discrimination based on skin color
happens daily, but this time it was caught on video.
Wiggins applauds Starbucks’ decision to close its
corporate stores for racial bias training and says most
of us could use a course on racial and cultural
sensitivity. She’ll discuss the need for racial
relations reconstruction, the importance of listening,
and how to speak to people of all colors. She says, “We
need to teach and train people on how to avoid
situations like the Starbucks incident. Once people
learn to understand one another, listen, and accept
cultural differences, we can start to make the world a
better place.” Nita Wiggins is a former sports
broadcaster who fought for her dream job as an African
American woman. Contact her at Nitadallas@yahoo.com?

9. ==> Never Make a Wrong Decision Again

Whether it’s what college to choose, whether to start a
new business or move across the country, we all face
big decisions in our lives. It’s common to put off

expense–financial, emotional, or any other kind of
toll. Invite Michael Angelo Costa to explain the secret
to mastering big decisions and making the right choice.

10. ==> Create Your Own Midlife Job Security

What happens when you’re too young to retire, but too
old to hire? A sudden job loss could throw your current
lifestyle a curve unless you’re prepared. Hovey Smith
says the only job security that anyone holds is what
they can control. The author of “Create Your Own Job
Security by Starting Your Own Business at Midlife,” can
discuss how to examine short, medium and long-term
business opportunities that you can have ready to
launch when you need it most. From E-Bay sales to new

held opposition to marijuana and has joined the board
of a rapidly expanding cannabis company! Dr. Regina
Nelson and Michael Browning can discuss everything from
why grandmas are now smoking pot to the considerable
medicinal benefits of cannabis to the stoner myths
people still believe. These media-savvy marijuana

12. ==> Talking NFL: Doc Has Cure for Concussion Crisis

Everyone’s talking football with this week’s NFL draft.
Meantime, former QB Brett Favre has finally opened up
about the “thousands” of concussions he’s likely had
and is advocating that kids shouldn’t play tackle
football. Meantime, the league’s new helmet-to-helmet
rule designed to make the game safer (by taking head-
first collisions out of the game) has many players and
fans worried that calls on the field will be
inconsistent and costly. But what if there was a way to
make concussions a thing of the past? A helmet that
could be designed to PREVENT traumatic brain injury? A
protocol for earlier diagnosis and immediate treatment?
Interview Dr. Paul Wand to hear about all this and
more. He, along with other private practitioners, have
created ways to diagnose, treat, and REVERSE the
symptoms of concussions. This, in effect, could save
the NFL, as well as other sports where concussions
happen on a regular basis. Paul H. Wand, MD has been a
medical doctor for 35 years specializing in the field
of Neurology. Contact him at (954) 344-9772;

13. ==> Sexism in Sports: Who Are the Worst Offenders?

Can you imagine a sport in which the mere presence of
women in the ring—and we’re talking women who were
trying to save a man’s life—sparked outrage? Earlier
this month, two women, one of them a nurse, entered a
summo ring in Japan to provide aid to a stricken public
official making a speech. Immediately, a referee
stepped in and demanded that the women leave and salt
was sprinkled in the ring to cleanse it. Lynn Matsuoka,
an expert on Sumo who through her artwork managed to
penetrate the male world of Sumo, will discuss the
centuries-old traditions that keep women out of the
Sumo ring and make the sport perhaps the most sexist of
all. What she has to say about Sumo is fascinating and
she can answer any question you have about the sport,
the way wrestlers train for it and even the recent
scandals that have plagued it. Lynn was once married
to a top Sumo wrestler and is the author of “The Secret
World of Sumo.” Reach her at (808) 479-5966;

14. ==> It’s Sports Season – Survival Tips for Parents

With nice weather popping up, kids’ sports are in high
gear as little league, soccer, softball and lacrosse
fields fill with young players and their parents. Of
course, that also means that tempers will flare, adults
will behave badly, kids will get less field time than
they would like and there will be injuries to egos and
bodies. It’s perfect timing for professional athlete
and coach Sharkie Zartman and sports doctor Robert A.
Weil to share ways to ensure kids get the most from
sports with fewer injuries and the right support from
Mom and Dad. Sharkie Zartman, B.S., M.S, is a

18. ==> The Secret to Eating Just One Chip

Salty, crispy, crunchy, yummy. Nothing beats the
comforting taste of potato chips. Yet most of us can’t
stop at just one. In fact, many of us can’t stop until
the whole bag is empty. Enter Sora Vernikoff. She can
teach your audience how to use her simple Green
Technique to satisfyingly eat just one potato chip and
stop or, in fact, to eat whatever you want, stop when
you want and become thin. Turning conventional wisdom
on its ear, she’ll explain why thinking about food
makes you fat—not eating it—and bad-for-you foods are a
myth. Sora, a former elementary school teacher who lost
25 pounds and has kept them off for decades, has helped

What’s one thing that wildly successful people do that
average ones don’t? They neither make nor accept
excuses. Business psychologist Margaret Bradley, Ph.D.
says, “Often people get caught in an excuse trap and
don’t even realize it. They give up on accomplishing
important goals or fall behind the competition without
knowing about simple steps that get rid of the excuses
that hold them back.” She’ll explain how to recognize
your own excuse-making style, the reason people make
excuses, and when an excuse can be a gift. You’ll also
learn how business leaders can create an excuse-free

20. ==> What’s It Like to Instantly Lose Everything?
Ask This Woman

Most of us will never have the experience of losing
nearly everything dear to them in an instant. Sana
Bauner was not so lucky. In 2004, Sana, her ex-husband,
son, mother and some friends were on holiday in
Thailand when a tsunami hit. Out of nowhere with no
warning. Sana nearly drowned despite being inside her
room, her mother died and her two-year-old daughter
disappeared never to be found. Sana fought hard to live
and ended up being carried by the water a half-mile
away from her hotel. But what happened that day led to
a battle that was just as big as she struggled to
understand what happened and to go on with her life.
Today, Sana says all of us face tsunamis—divorce, job
loss, deaths, betrayal—and she can help people find
hope and resilience with lessons she learned from
surviving a tsunami. She is the author of “The Borrowed
Daughter,” a memoir containing lessons to help anyone
going through a life crisis, and is based in Vienna.

William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor,
welcomed a baby boy on Monday, but what will his name
be? Arthur, Albert and Philip are among the current
bookies’ favorites for the youngest prince but experts
say there’s a chance the ultimate name choice might
also reflect Kate’s side of the family. Invite Pam
Satran and Linda Rosenkrantz to talk about naming
Prince George and Princess Charlotte’s new brother, and
how parents today choose names for their kids. Pam and
Linda are experts on name style, image and trends.
Together they have written ten books on names including
“Beyond Jennifer & Jason,” “Cool Names for Babies,” and

The New York Times to The Wall Street Journal to The
Today Show, the BBC, and Oprah. Contact them at

2. ==> After Clinton: Envisioning Madam President

As a country, we haven’t wrapped our heads around what
it should look like for a woman to be in the job of
President. Our only models are men. This, of course,
was seen during Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and no one
knows this better than Jennifer Palmieri, who served as
head of communications for Clinton’s 2016 presidential
campaign. Palmieri believes Clinton’s candidacy
revealed how, despite all the gains women have made, we
still struggle to envision a woman as president.
Jennifer Palmieri is the author of “Dear Madam
President,” an empowering letter to the first woman
president. She served as White House communications
director under President Barack Obama and was White
House deputy press secretary for President Bill
Clinton. Palmieri is currently president of the Center
for American Progress Action Fund and has been a
frequent contributor to the Washington Post. Contact

3. ==> Trump, North Korea & Iran Deal

A U.S. push to change the Iran nuclear deal is sending
a “very dangerous message” that countries should never
negotiate with Washington, Iran’s foreign minister
warned as U.S. and North Korean leaders prepare to meet
for denuclearization talks. Foreign relations expert
Dr. Harlan Ullman says, “The US needs a broader
strategy and breaking the Iran nuclear deal will be a
disaster as the U.S. will be isolated. As far as the
North Korea meeting goes, we need more preparation and
clear-cut objectives.” Harlan Ullman has served on the
Senior Advisory Group for Supreme Allied Commander
Europe (2004-16) and is senior adviser at Washington
D.C.’s Atlantic Council, chairman of two private
companies and principal author of the doctrine of shock

4. ==> Bill Cosby Trial Heads to Jury

After two weeks of testimony, Bill Cosby’s fate will
soon be in the hands of jurors – again. His first
sexual assault trial ended in a mistrial last year and
while Cosby has maintained his innocence throughout,
Joyce Short says it is the real meaning of consent that
could get him locked up. “His prior trial failed to
drive home Cosby’s admission. Simply put, when you
don’t know if you have consent, you don’t. Cosby
admitted under oath that he didn’t know.” Joyce Short
is the author of “Carnal Abuse by Deceit” and
“Combating Romance Scams, Why Lying to Get Laid Is a
Crime.” A sexual assault survivor, she advocates for
sexual assault victims around the world. She’s been
awarded a “Woman of Distinction” honor by the NY State
Assembly and is fighting for new laws on consent across
the US. Contact her at (917) 517-8572; short.jm@aol.com

7. ==> Mother’s Day When Mom is Mommie Dearest

Mother’s Day is coming and for some people,
particularly women, the holiday is fraught with
landmines. How do you even pick out a card let alone a
gift for a mother who has been hard to please,
belittles you or makes you feel bad about yourself? For
many women (and men) Mother’s Day is something to
ignore or get over with as quickly as possible. Carol-
Ann Hamilton can relate because she grew up with a
mother who was paranoid and schizophrenic. Bring Carol-
Ann on your show to hear how Mother’s Day can be a time
to heal yourself from the aftereffects of less-than-
perfect parenting. She’ll share tips for putting the
past behind you including how she was able to give her
mother’s eulogy truthfully without sugarcoating her
problem behaviors. Carol-Ann is a delightful media

8. ==> Parents in Kids’ Basements? The Reverse
Boomerang Effect

We’re accustomed to millennials living in their
parents’ basements as they struggle to save enough
money to have a place of their own. But according to
Rodger Friedman, it won’t be long until baby boomers
begin living in their children’s basements because they
failed to save enough money to fund their retirement
years. Friedman calls this trend The Reverse Boomerang
Effect and says baby boomers’ out-of-control spending
habits will come back to bite their children. A
chartered retirement planning counselor and former
senior vice president of Morgan Stanley, Friedman will
reveal the questions millennials should be asking their
parents today to make sure that they don’t have to
share their homes with them after they run of money
tomorrow. He’ll also discuss the worst reasons people
give for not saving for retirement, and what people can
do who are late to the game and provide listeners with
access to a free list of 21 Mistakes That Can
Annihilate Your Retirement. The author of “The Mindset
of Retirement Success” and two other books on the
topic, this experienced talk-show guest who has been

9. ==> The Secret to Building a Profitable Business

The #1 reason to go into business is to make money.
Yet, many small businesses aren’t very profitable. In
fact, many business owners work harder and earn less
than their counterparts in the workforce. But it
doesn’t have to be that way. Patricia Stallworth, a
business and money coach, takes clients through the
process of building a profitable business and a secure
financial future at the same time. She blends the
skills she learned in working with Fortune 100
companies and small businesses with money strategies to
create custom solutions for her clients. Invite her to

like planning and cash flow to help the entrepreneurs

Community colleges are gaining popularity nationwide.
But did you know that more and more college students
are single moms? And that the school of choice for
those single moms is community college? In fact, almost
2.1 million students are single parenting and going
back to school! While this trend seems to be a happy
one, many challenges still exist for single moms and
dads who decide to head back to school – including a

13. ==> Early-Onset Alzheimer’s is Skyrocketing

and mental decline expected for the afflicted, and the
myriad issues related to caregiving. Learn from Carlen
Maddux his advice for navigating the journey of early-
onset Alzheimer’s (a noted epidemic nationwide), as his
wife Martha was diagnosed at only age 50. Their odyssey

14. ==> World Autism Awareness Month: Is there a Cure?

According to alarming MIT research, one in two children
in the U.S. will be diagnosed with autism by the year
2025. Physician and author Dr. Rajalakshmi Kandaswamy
attributes this to increased environmental energy
disturbances. “This not only includes environmental
stress from increased noise pollution, chemicals in
food and so on, this also includes stress from parent’s
and caregivers’ energy,” she says. “Energy disturbances
have sky-rocketed throughout the world as a result of
people defining and accepting stress and pollution to
be a normal part of daily living.” 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

15. ==> 95 Secrets to Live Well into Your 90s

Victoria Schmidt sounds like she’s 40 or 50. She looks
like she’s 60 or 70. She has the wisdom of a 96-year
old because she has the experience and knowledge of a
96-year young woman! Most longevity experts are in
their 40’s and 50’s and maybe a little older. She says,
“You have far more control on the length of your life
than the stereotypical perception and the negative
misconceptions of aging.” Victoria’s mantra: You must
want to live a long life and view living with grace and
acceptance. Invite this vibrant nonagenarian and author
of “Victoria’s 95 Secrets on Living a Happy, Healthy,
Sexy Long Life” to share what’s kept her young and how
anyone can age well, even into their 90s. “Genetics

would expect. How long you live is determined by your
health and how you live your life.” Contact Victoria
Schmidt at (908) 840-4084; ottomisti@aol.com

16. ==> The Poet You Ought to Know… If You Hate
Poetry

Many of us snoozed our way through high school English
class—especially when it was time to read and respond
to poetry. So maybe you’re thinking that the last thing
you’d want to do is a show for National Poetry Month in
April. But not so fast. Consider Sylvia Plath. She
wasn’t some rhyme-y poet putting down pretty words.
According to Plath expert Julia Gordon-Bramer, she was
never sentimental, always smart and sometimes even
aggressive. In addition, an exploration of Plath
touches on surprising mysticism while her poems are
like puzzles waiting to be unlocked. Do your audience
and yourself a favor by exposing them to this thought-
provoking poet who was the subject of the movie
“Sylvia,” starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Daniel Craig.
Gordon-Bramer teaches at Lindenwood University where
she is a Sylvia Plath scholar. She is the author of the
“Decoding Sylvia Plath” series. Reach her at (314)

It)

Did you know that more people than ever are chronically
unhappy? Maybe you’re one of them! Study after study
proves that unhappiness reigns supreme in America and
the world. But did you know that you can control how
happy you feel? Ed Kuiper, author of “Ride the
Happiness Wave,” can show your audience how to simply

19. ==> Eric Stogner Would Rather Talk about Death than
Taxes

While his wife Katie was dying from cancer, Eric
Stogner had a vivid dream where an angel showed him the
preparations being made for her in Heaven – God’s
Country. Then five people told him of THEIR visions
involving his wife. Immediately, any dread Eric
previously had about death vanished and his concept of
God did an about-face. “I’d thought of God as a genius
clockmaker who’d set the world in place then put it on
the shelf to wind down by itself, but I suddenly saw
how God is active in the details of life.” Hear about
Eric’s surreal dream as well as those of a friend who
had a vision of Katie dancing with Jesus, and a 10-
year-old girl who saw her the night of her death and
received a surprise, unexplainable gift the next
morning. Eric Stogner’s now on a mission to tell people
they don’t have to fear death. His book is “Into God’s
Country.” Contact Jim Dobkins at (928) 277-1268;

20. ==> Earth Day is Over but Planet Still Needs Saving

Earth Day may be over, but the need to save the planet
remains.
The general focus each Earth Day is on saving the
planet on a broad, global level. However, the small
things we all do daily have the greatest impact. “We
all tend to waste food and other resources,” says
author and environmental engineer Yasmin Davar. “For
example, we throw out one third of the food we buy. We
buy hardwood furniture that has been illegally logged
from Cambodian national parks. We need to really
examine our consumerism.” Yasmin can discuss small but
powerful ways we can change our daily habits that can
have a dramatically positive impact on the world as a
whole. 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

1. ==> Will Russia Retaliate Over US Strikes in Syria?

The attack on Syria by Western powers has fueled fears
that Russia will retaliate. The British are being
warned of possible cyber warfare in the next few weeks
but should Americans be worried too? Invite military
strategist Harlan Ullman to discuss the likelihood of a
physical – or cyber – attack. Ullman has served on the
Senior Advisory Group for Supreme Allied Commander
Europe (2004-16) and is senior adviser at Washington
D.C.’s Atlantic Council, chairman of two private
companies and principal author of the doctrine of shock
and awe. A former naval person, he commanded a
destroyer in the Persian Gulf and led over 150 missions
and operations in Vietnam as a Swift Boat skipper. His
newest book is “Anatomy of Failure: Why America Has
Lost Every War It Starts.” Contact Ryan McCormick at
(516) 901-1103.

2. ==> Barbara Bush is Inspiration to Many

Former first lady Barbara Bush is reportedly in failing
health and refusing further medical treatment, instead
focusing on comfort care at home with her family.
Meredith Iler says Mrs. Bush has been an inspiration to
many. “Growing up in Houston, I met her at a young age
and I have had many opportunities to be with Mrs. Bush
and see her in many different settings over the past 40
years. She is always gracious, always by her husband’s
side and always has time for serving others. She
serves as an inspiration to me as a wife, a mom, a
patriot and a woman of impact.” Iler can talk about
being a guest at the Bush homes in Kennebunkport and
Houston, and being a long-time supporter of the Barbara
Bush Foundation for literacy. Iler says there’s no way
to discuss George Bush’s accomplishments without
focusing on their public service as a couple, their
marriage and their impact on the nation and world.
Meredith Iler’s upcoming book, “Parenting Patriots,”
includes lessons learned from George and Barbara Bush
and the legacy of patriotism instilled in their
children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

3. ==> It’s Prince Week in Minneapolis!

It was two years ago this Saturday that music icon
Prince was found dead in his Paisley Park mansion and
thousands of fans are converging in Minneapolis this
week for Celebration 2018 to remember the flamboyant
‘Purple One’ who many call a genius. Documentary
filmmaker and author Duane Tudahl is there. Invite him
on your show to discuss the man behind the music, his
obsessive drive and demand for total control, how
Purple Rain catapulted him from a cult-favorite to a
superstar and what’s in his mysterious and legendary
vault. Tudahl spent 20 years interviewing over 40 band
members, singers, and engineers for his acclaimed book
“Prince and the Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions: 1983
and 1984.” He’ll share their personal, never-before-
heard stories from inside the studio recording Purple
Rain, as well as music for a half-dozen artists and
bands. You’ll hear why Prince decided to turn his back
on almost everything involving Purple Rain, and what it
was like to spend 17 hours a day alone with Prince in
the studio, for weeks at a time, producing 2-3 songs in
a single day. Duane Tudahl is a long-time TV and
documentary producer. Contact him at (818) 726-8638

4. ==> Light ‘em Up: Celebrate 420 Day this Friday

This Friday, April 20th at 4:20 p.m. people all over
the world will gather to smoke or consume marijuana in
celebration of 420 Day (National Weed Day). Invite Dr.
Regina Nelson and Michael Browning on your show to find
out why you too should consider smoking pot that day in
celebration of the holiday that reportedly began with a
gathering of high school students in California in the
mid-1970s. These media-savvy marijuana educators can
discuss everything from why grandma may be smoking pot
to the considerable medicinal benefits of cannabis to
the stoner myths people still believe. The pair fully
support former Speaker of the House Boehner’s recent
cannabis industry arrival and leadership of
#RepublicansToDescheduleMJ campaign and can talk about
the latest states to legalize medical marijuana and
issues facing people trying to access it. Dr. Regina
Nelson and Michael Browning coauthored “Time for the
Talk: Talking to Your Doctor or Patient About Medical
Cannabis.” Regina has done Ph.D. level research on
marijuana. Regina and Michael can also share tales from
their national educational tour—including their bust in
Oklahoma. Regina will be the keynote speaker for this
month’s World Medical Cannabis Conference. Contact them

5. ==> Simple Tips to Make Every Day Earth Day

Our environmental problems can seem so enormous and
intractable that people often don’t know where to begin
in helping to solve them. But Ellen Moyer, Ph.D. says
“There are small practical actions we can take in our
daily lives that add up to real help for our
environment and can often save us money and help our
own health at the same time.” She adds, “We all have
power. Our purchases make up two-thirds of the US
economy, and we can use our dollars, our votes, and our
lifestyle decisions to steer things in a healthy
direction.” Moyer is a registered professional engineer
with a B.A. in anthropology, an M.S. in environmental
engineering, a Ph.D. in civil engineering, and 30 years
of environmental engineering experience. “Our Earth,
Our Species, Our Selves: How to Thrive While Creating a
Sustainable World” is her third book, and she is a TEDx

6. ==> 71-year-old Makes History at Boston Marathon

Growing up, Steven Wightman dreamed of running the
Boston Marathon with his older brother. Though his
brother died in a tragic accident many years ago,
Steven did run the Marathon yesterday and made history.
At 71-years-old, he was one of sixteen men and women
veterans representing all five branches of the services
to run the Centennial Military Relay which was last
done in 1918 by veterans of World War One. Steven and
teammate Laura Piscopo (both U.S. Army Veterans) ran
the most difficult of the eight legs, across Newton,
MA, up and down hills to end their leg of 3.5 miles a
stone’s throw west of the famous “Heartbreak Hill.”

7. ==> Uh Oh! You Didn’t File Your Taxes

Whether you’re a procrastinator, forgetful, or just
unaware, today is the deadline to file your taxes but
many folks still haven’t done the paperwork. What do
you do now? Martha O’Gorman of Liberty Tax Service can
explain how to file an extension, what to do if you owe
money but can’t pay, and what to do now to make sure
you won’t owe taxes again next year. Martha O’Gorman
worked for Jackson Hewitt Tax Service before co-
founding Liberty Tax, the brand with the iconic Statue
of Liberty wavers. An experienced media guest, she is

knows taxes. Contact Martha O’Gorman at (888) 848-5344
or martha@libtax.com.

8. ==> What’s Happening to Your Facebook Data?

What does Facebook really know about you? How is your
data being used and what can you do about it? Dr. Robin
Burk is the managing director of Analytic Decisions²
and consults on data analysis, machine learning/AI and
their uses. She says Facebook has betrayed the naive
expectations of its users by exploiting social
relationships for profit. It’s not just your own data
that you have exposed if you’re a Facebook user, it’s
also the data of anyone you’ve tagged and more. But
Facebook isn’t the only company harvesting and
exploiting your data. The problem is much bigger. She’s
the author of “Check Your Connections: How to Thrive in
an Uncertain World” and is giving her first TEDx talk
in late April. Contact her at (703) 346 4448 or
robin.kowalchuk.burk@gmail.com

9. ==> Foreign Aid to Africa Is Not the Solution

Sending aid seems like the right thing to do when
people in the Western and developed world see Sub-
Saharan Africa struggling economically and want to
help. Retired neurosurgeon Sylvanus Ayeni was born and
raised in Nigeria and says there are many negative
unintended consequences of open-ended foreign aid.
Invite him to discuss these negative consequences,
including creating a culture of dependency, undermining
self-actualization in the next generation, and the
development of an unspoken culture of lower
expectations. 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
and founder of Pan Africa Children Advocacy Watch
(PACAW) Inc. and has spoken to local and international
audiences. Contact him at (301) 910-1020 (MD);

10. ==> World Autism Awareness Month – Is there a Cure?

According to alarming MIT research, one in two children
in the U.S. will be diagnosed with autism by the year
2025. Physician and author Dr. Rajalakshmi Kandaswamy
attributes this to increased environmental energy
disturbances. “This not only includes environmental
stress from increased noise pollution, chemicals in
food and so on, this also includes stress from parent’s
and caregivers’ energy,” she says. “Energy disturbances
have sky-rocketed throughout the world as a result of
people defining and accepting stress and pollution to
be a normal part of daily living.” Dr. Raja spent more
than 25 years developing the Autism Cure and was
recognized by Buzzfeed as one of five professionals in

Healing,” and a graduate of India’s premier medical
college C.M.C Vellore. Contact her at

11. ==> Sexism and Sport: Who Are the Worst Offenders?

Can you imagine a sport in which the mere presence of
women in the ring—and we’re talking women who were
trying to save a man’s life—sparked outrage? Last week,
two women, one of them a nurse, entered a summo ring in
Japan to provide aid to a stricken public official
making a speech. Immediately, a referee stepped in and
demanded that the women leave and salt was sprinkled in
the ring to cleanse it. Lynn Matsuoka, an expert on
Sumo who through her artwork managed to penetrate the
male world of Sumo, will discuss the centuries-old
traditions that keep women out of the Sumo ring and
make the sport perhaps the most sexist of all. What she
has to say about Sumo is fascinating and she can answer
any question you have about the sport, the way
wrestlers train for it and even the recent scandals
that have plagued it. Lynn was once married to a top
Sumo wrestler and is the author of “The Secret World of
Sumo.” Reach her at (808) 479-5966; artist@aloha.net

12. ==> Natural Alternative to Allergy Shots and Pills

Spring has sprung across much of the country and the
trees are budding, the flowers are blooming and the
birds are singing. While it’s beautiful to behold, it
can be agony for people with seasonal allergies. Many
sufferers spend a small fortune in doctor visits,
allergy shots and prescription drugs that make them
drowsy, but Dr. Kathleen Fry says there is an
alternative to the allergy treadmill that’s safe,
effective, inexpensive and readily available in most
health food stores for less than $10.00. Invite her on
your show to share proven allergy relief your
listeners’ will appreciate. Dr. Fry is a medical doctor
and homeopathic physician with over 30 years of
clinical experience. Her new book is “What’s the Remedy
for That? The Definitive Homeopathy Guide to Mastering
Everyday Self-Care Without Drugs.” Contact her at (480)

13. ==> Will California Survive Another Wildfire
Season?

Summer and fall months in California are wildfire
season, when dry weather, high temperatures, and rogue
winds set the Golden State aglow in deadly fires. In
the past decade, California’s wildfires have been more
destructive than ever, and 2017 was the worst year on
record, with upwards of 10 million acres and 22,000
structures burned to the ground. Californian
entrepreneur Jim Moseley has seen firsthand how the
fires affect the state, and has repurposed a fire-
proofing material used by NASA into a powerful line of
defense against the conflagration. Has he found a fool-
proof way to fireproof our property and our natural
resources? Jim Moseley will talk about the wildfires of
2017, discuss preparations for the season ahead, and
how solutions to the problem may be found in existing
technology. Moseley, a Grammy-nominated trombonist
(Google “Moseley Trombone” and enjoy!) can be reached
at (818) 486-4662.

14. ==> You Bought Bitcoin and It Tanked, Now What?

Bitcoin was the hottest thing in the investment world
and just as everyone rushed to get in on the
cryptocurrency gold rush, the price crashed. As many
people now look at their sharply devalued Bitcoin
investment, they’re left wondering what to do next.
John Miller, a financial advisor for 25 years, has seen
all sorts of market ups and downs and can share his
professional insights on the Bitcoin crash. Invite him
to reveal what the professionals consider when trying
to strategize their next move in the market. His new
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

15. ==> It’s Community College Awareness Month

Community colleges are gaining popularity nationwide.
But did you know that more and more college students
are single moms? And that the school of choice for
those single moms is community college? In fact, almost
2.1 million students are single parenting and going
back to school! While this trend seems to be a happy
one, many challenges still exist for single moms and
dads who decide to head back to school – including a
four-out-of-ten drop-out rate. Sara Sherman, BA, MS,
author of “The Single Mom’s Guide to Getting a Degree”
will explain how single parents can head back to school
with confidence. Sara can discuss everything from
choosing the right school and selecting a major to
maximizing study time while managing kids and

16. ==> Honoring Women Civilians during Vietnam War

Thousands of American women served in Vietnam – some
estimating as many as 265,000 women working as nurses,
journalists, intelligent officers, clerks, and more.
From every conceivable background, nearly all of them
were volunteers. An estimated half were to suffer from
PTSD. The exact numbers and names were never recorded
and their service has been forgotten. Joe Rosato’s book
“Dog Tags & Wedding Bands” honors these women’s
dedication and service. Inspired by his own service in
Vietnam, this gripping novel unravels the mystery of
two nurses who went missing in Vietnam. Contact Joe
Rosato at (732) 859-2089; westenthst@aol.com.

17. ==> What’s It Like to Instantly Lose Everything?
Ask This Woman

Most of us will never have the experience of losing
nearly everything dear to them in an instant. Sana
Bauner was not so lucky. In 2004, Sana, her ex-husband,
son, mother and some friends were on holiday in
Thailand when a tsunami hit. Out of nowhere with no
warning. Sana nearly drowned despite being inside her
room, her mother died and her two-year-old daughter
disappeared never to be found. Sana fought hard to live
and ended up being carried by the water a half-mile
away from her hotel. But what happened that day led to
a battle that was just as big as she struggled to
understand what happened and to go on with her life.
Today, Sana says all of us face tsunamis—divorce, job
loss, deaths, betrayal—and she can help people find
hope and resilience with lessons she learned from
surviving a tsunami. She is the author of “The Borrowed
Daughter,” a memoir containing lessons to help anyone
going through a life crisis, and is based in Vienna.

18. ==> Look Younger in 15 Minutes a Day

Two years ago, José de la Torre began practicing an
ancient stretching and breathing technique called the
Five Tibetans. Practiced by Tibetan monks in the Himalayas
for over 2,500 years, the five simple exercises rejuvenate the
body, increase your energy, boost your immune system,
and make you look and feel younger. Jose says it takes
just 15 minutes a day, and just about anyone can do it
and reap the benefits including the reversal of gray
hair, fewer wrinkles, weight loss, more muscles, less
fatigue, greater flexibility and better memory! Jose
says the changes can occur within six months to a year
of starting the program. Jose holds a degree in
mathematics from Arizona State University, and a
master’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin.
He is also the author of “Spiritual Living for Busy
People: How to Nourish Your Soul in Today’s Hectic
World.” Contact him at (817) 304-6148;

19. ==> How to Live without Regret and Anxiety

Many people live in a state of high anxiety, constantly
worrying about what will happen next. Yet, while there
are some things we cannot change, such as what happens
in Russia or Washington, there are ways to reduce our
own anxiety and fear, according to author, teacher, and
interfaith minister Marcia Grace. “Most people think
that love makes the world go round. But it’s really
guilt that does so and it drives our fear and anxiety.”
Marcia Grace will help listeners develop a new
understanding of the hidden motivators beneath their
conscious awareness which may be keeping them feeling
guilty and regretful and triggering feelings of stress,
depression and anger. Grace’s new book, “Calm,
Creative, Joyful! Lessons in Transforming Your Life,”
is based on lessons she learned from teaching A Course
in Miracles for nearly 40 years. Contact her at (631)

20. ==> Purge Your Hate for Trump

Have you noticed that thousands of Americans are
voicing their displeasure at Donald Trump’s drama-
filled presidency? Even people who voted for Trump are
questioning his outspoken and not-so-diplomatic style,
his propensity for turning supporters into enemies, his
controversial initiatives such as immigration
regulations, and the hectic way his White House is
(dis)functioning. But none of that should be cause to
“hate” the man – says social/spiritual lecturer Patric
Rutherford, Ph.D., author of “God and President Trump
Plus the Rest of Us.” Dr. Rutherford says respectfully
disagreeing with President Trump (or anyone in power,
including your own boss) is a way to solidify your
strength and make change happen. Conversely, you are
dis-empowered by loathing a leader or attacking his/her
character. With an extensive background in Christian
principles, political research and health care
administration, Dr. Rutherford (himself an immigrant
from Jamaica) will reveal how to navigate the Trump Era
and use one’s vote wisely. Contact him at (786)
