    E363 - Richard Sparks - Rowan Atkinson, Operas and a New Rock, New Role - Words Matter May 08, 2024
    Show notes

    EPISODE 363 - Richard Sparks - Rowan Atkinson, Operas and a New Rock, New Role - Words Matter
    Richard Sparks
    One morning in 1979 I got a call from an understandably excited Rowan Atkinson.
    “John Cleese just called. He’s asked me to be in his new charity show – and can I do The Schoolmaster?”
    Er, yes.
    I’d written The Schoolmaster for Rowan the previous year, for a revue at the Hampstead Theatre (Rowan with Elspeth Walker and Peter Wilson). John and his co-producer, Martin Lewis, had seen it; and a year later, Rowan and I were backstage at Her Majesty’s Theatre, meeting John and other members of the cast of The Secret Policeman’s Ball.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiWJWLCoH2M
    Rowan went on stage an unknown, with his gown and clipboard and pen, and came off a star. The Schoolmaster became his signature piece, the encore of his live shows. Eventually, he got tired of doing the same old routine and wrote another (ruder) version, generously giving me half the royalties.
    By that time, I’d cut my teeth on various TV shows, from HTV (Wales) to ITV (Southern and Central) to the BBC. I’d also written some stage shows (reviews, original plays, and adaptations of Goldoni comedies), and done a lot of freelance script editing. In 1992, I was hired by Columbia Picture Television to work with Blake Hunter and Marty Cohan, the creators of Who’s the Boss?. My wife and I moved with our young daughter to her parents (converted) garage and we’ve lived in Los Angeles since.
    I’ve written a number of libretti for operas, almost all for the LA Opera – some original pieces, some translations from German or Italian. My writing partner, the composer, Lee Holdridge, was – in a way – once G.R.R. Martin’s ‘writing partner’ in that he composed the scores for the TV series Beauty and the Beast, for which Martin was a script writer.
    I’d been a hard-core RPG gamer for years when the idea for these books just fell out of the sky one morning, and I started writing. I have hardly had a moment to log on to any game — I’m too busy exploring the New Rock stories as they unfold.
    My publisher, Caezik SF & Fantasy, is a company of enthusiasts who love these genres. I am delighted to join their family of authors, and to be working with their executive editor, Lezli, Robyn.
    Three sequels – New Rock New Realm, New Rock New Rules, and New Rock New Roads, have been completed and will be published in due course. I’m currently working on the fifth book.

    I write mystery-thrillers and literary fiction for adult readers who seek insight, fascination, and delight in the adventures of their own lives.

    I’ve been a professional writer all my working life. I host GetPublished! Radio and I’ve been a regular book reviewer on KRLA-AM in Los Angeles. My book reviews have been syndicated by Splash Magazines Worldwide (splashmagazines.com), and I’m a top reviewer at Goodreads.com.

    I studied screenwriting with John Truby and Lew Hunter (UCLA), and my screenplay Christmas Karma was honored by the WGAW Diversity Program in 2016.

    In 2020 I won six book awards, and then another six in 2021, in categories Mystery and Literary Fiction, and one in Business.

    E361 - Risa August - The Road Unpaved - Border to Border with a Brain Tumor and a Bike May 03, 2024
    Show notes

    Episode 361 - Risa August - The Road Unpaved - Border to Border with a Brain Tumor and a Bike
    A Life Without Limits...

    Following a life-altering diagnosis, I have made it my mission to draw attention to rare Pituitary diseases by sharing my own personal journey. Little did I know, this diagnosis would teach me to live. Along with my mission, I continue to explore ways of experiencing life more fully by challenging my limiting beliefs and refocusing my perspective. This has further led me to guide others through their own limiting beliefs and toward their biggest and best life.

    After a shocking diagnosis for a rare pituitary disease and with her eighteen-year marriage in shambles, Risa’s life has fallen far from picture-perfect. Recovering from brain surgery and desperate to get back to her former self, she signs up for the bike tour of a lifetime—six weeks from Canada to Mexico on the Pacific Coast Highway.
    The old Risa could have done the ride in her sleep, but for the new Risa, trapped in a body that no longer feels like her own and stuck in the company of her brain tumor, Bubba, the ride becomes a challenge unlike anything she’s ever faced.
    As Risa pedals through rain, pain, and the ghosts of her memories, she wonders if the woman she once was will ever return or whether the new woman rising up in her place might just be the person she was meant to be all along.
    A remarkable story of transformation and resilience, The Road Unpaved speaks to shifting gears to navigate life’s roadblocks and live a life without limits—a life fully unleashed.

    E359 - Michelle Mintz - All Done Binky, Pacifiers and their impact on proper speech and language skills Apr 29, 2024
    Show notes

    Episode 359 - Michelle Mintz - All Done Binky, Pacifiers and their impact on proper speech and language skills
    Book: All Done Binky - It is important for a child to stop using their pacifier at a very young age in order to help develop proper speech and language skills. Parents have reported an increase in verbal language when their child completely stopped using their pacifier. This book helps parents and children learn how to wean off the pacifier. The story shows the steps involved beginning with removing it from outside the house, then not using inside the house during activities and finally eliminating it from the bed. The bright colors and simple words are exciting and relatable to young children who will want you to read it to them over and over again!
    The Author: Everyone has a special gift. You may know what yours is or perhaps you have not yet discovered it. I am fortunate to know that my special gift is having the key that is needed to help children unlock the doors of communication. I have this wonderful ability to relate to children in such a way that they feel comfortable and have fun at the same time that they are blooming.

    For over 25 years, my passion has been connecting and communicating with parents, grandparents, nannies, siblings and their babies from birth through five years old. Guiding both the children and adults during my sessions provides me with great joy and pride. To be present for the beautiful moment when a mom hears her child speak a word they have never spoken before is an inspiring and exhilarating shared experience.

    Watching the looks of pure awe and joy from the families when they see their baby making those connections is what continues to drive my passion for helping other babies bloom.

    As babies bloom…families blossom.

    Through my years of experience, I have discovered that coaching those who spend the most time with a baby such as parents, grandparents, and nannies to integrate my proactive strategies into their natural daily activities is the most impactful way to help a baby bloom.

    Episode 357 - Karen Gershowitz - Tourist vs Traveller - 95 Countries Visited and How to See The World

    About Karen Gershowitz

    I was 17 years old, traveling alone, when I boarded a plane to Europe. Living in a different culture I experienced the world in new and surprising ways and discovered myself. My love of travel was born. I didn’t return to the US for three years.

    Since then I’ve traveled to more than 90 countries. I climbed Kilimanjaro, conquered my fear of falling to go on an elephant trek in Thailand, spent time in Berlin shortly after the wall came down, stayed with a Japanese family who taught me to make sushi and made friends across the globe.

    In pursuit of my passion for travel I’ve lost and gained friends and lovers and made a radical career change. Travel is my addiction, and I don’t want treatment

    I studied ceramics in college and graduate school but abandoned that career and switched to marketing so that employers would pay for my travel. In my new career as a marketing strategist and researcher I’ve traveled the world conducting thousands of meetings, focus groups and interviews. My skills as an interviewer have persuaded total strangers to talk candidly about the most intimate of subjects, personal bankruptcy, illness, and religion. When traveling for pleasure, those same skills helped me to draw out people’s stories. I’ve learned about their lives, as well as local customs and fashions and what makes them laugh. These conversations often led to invitations for dinner and personal tours.

    Travel Mania is a compilation of stories that explore how travel can change a life. Like my readers, I am an ordinary person. Through travel I’ve learned courage and risk taking and succeeded at things I didn’t know I could do.

    Each story can be read and enjoyed independently. My hope is that they will tickle the travel bug in readers and encourage them to set off on their own adventures.

    I live in New York City.

    Show notes

    Episode 356 - Debra Atlas - You Aren't Depression's Victim - Powerful Questions to Ask Yourself
    You Aren't Depression's Victim, a departure from Debra Atlas's usual journalistic writing, is designed to be uplifting and empowering. It offers readers thought-provoking ideas and possibilities.
    Have you ever wondered if you had a choice when faced with depression? We often think we must automatically fall into the depression pit, that there's no other option. But what if you could see and recognize depression before it hit? What if we didn't have to fall down into that dark pit but could see it coming and do something to step back from it?
    This intimate look into Ms. Atlas's lifelong journey with depression:
    * reveals how to identify where the edge of depression actually is,
    * provides tools to help you recognize depression before it hits,
    * shines a light on simple actions that can help us step back from the edge.
    Living an "odd man out", roller coaster-like life, Atlas kept her depression hidden from family and friends – until she attempted suicide at age 14. From her emotional recovery to life at college, grad school and on to the Big Apple, Atlas strove to find meaning and balance while lacking the words or skills for her search. Living with a deep sense of inadequacy, her "I'm not good enough" constantly put a lid on her ability to be a star in her life.
    A chance meeting with a therapist became a lifeline when Atlas faced an overwhelming emotional crisis. The therapy that followed opened the door to life-changing insights and to desperately needed tools that helped her gain clarity, confidence and equilibrium. This book is the culmination of that work. Through her hard work and the lessons learned from it, Atlas discovered that we have a choice, that we don't have to be a victim of depression, and this unlocked a bright path to living a balanced and fulfilled life.
    About the Author

    Debra Atlas has been a newspaper columnist, freelance environmental journalist, radio personality, a professional speaker, a professional blogger and a green business practice consultant. A member of the Society of Environmental Journalists, her articles have covered topics as wide ranging as climate change, environmental conservation, sustainability, GMO-related issues, green innovation and agricultural themes.
    A member of the Sierra Club since early 2000, Debra is also involved with animal rights and animal welfare and has supported numerous animal rescue organizations both in the U.S. and internationally. Aware of the line a journalist must walk, she is passionate about supporting animal rights and having those rights recognized at every level.
    Born and raised in South Texas, Debra has lived and worked on both the East and West Coast, An outside-the-box thinker with a wide range of interests, she believes that finding daily inspiration is crucial to living a balanced, happy and fulfilled life.

    Episode 354 - Daniel Voigt Godoy - You're Not Your Job - Going Above and Beyond for Yourself

    You're Not Your Job

    Leaving the rat race by overcoming self-doubt

    Do you feel like a square peg in a round hole sometimes?
    Do you feel like what you're doing is not really meant for you?
    Would you rather be doing something else entirely but don't know where to start?
    In our lives, we don't ask ourselves enough questions. We follow the lead of others because they seem to know what they're doing. Along the way, you may lose track of who you really are. You mistake your identity for your job. Deep down, however, you know you were not meant to be living like this. You even have a plan to switch gears. But you never do.

    Looking for answers? Try asking questions instead!

    Daniel has been through the journey of switching careers. He's not offering you answers, though.
    His goal is to help you ask yourself LOTS and LOTS of questions to get where you want to be. This helpful book is what he wishes his past self had at his disposal.

    About the author

    Daniel is a data scientist, developer, writer, and teacher. He has been teaching machine learning and distributed computing technologies at Data Science Retreat, the longest-running Berlin-based bootcamp, since 2016, helping more than 150 students advance their careers.

    Daniel is also the main contributor of two Python packages: HandySpark and DeepReplay.

    His professional background includes 20 years of experience working for companies in several industries: banking, government, fintech, retail, and mobility.
