Nobody Told Me!

(Apple Podcast’s Best of 2018) When mother-daughter duo Jan Black and Laura Owens first conceptualized their two-generational talk show, nobody told them they’d snag the title of #1 self-help podcast for months on end! But that’s exactly what they’ve done, delving into topics as far-flung as network building, the importance of failure, finding hope after being kidnapped, and how the principles of brain surgery can help us work through everyday problems. Featuring interviews with extraordinary individuals, Nobody Told Me! shines light on the shared human experiences that bring us together, and the challenges that serve as catalysts for our greatest growth. Nobody Told Me! combines Jan’s impressive broadcast journalism background with Laura’s unique, millennial perspective. Driven by a genuine desire to educate and empower, their pioneering platform gives insight into the strategies and secrets of people in all walks of life. Equal parts information and inspiration, Nobody Told Me! brings a personal touch to the interview process. Together, Jan and Laura are asking the questions that help their listeners get through life’s toughest times.

Andy Parker: ...what it's like to lose a child to gun violence on live TV Mar 10, 2019

Show notes

On August 26, 2015, the lives of Andy and Barbara Parker changed forever when their daughter Alison, a news reporter for WDBJ, was murdered along with her cameraman, Adam Ward while conducting an interview on live television near Roanoke, Virginia. The nation was stunned by the killings and President Barack Obama said he was “heartbroken”. The gunman was a former reporter for the TV station who killed himself hours later following a car chase with police.

On the day of his daughter’s death, while his emotions were still raw, Andy Parker vowed on national television to do “whatever it takes” to end gun violence in America. He’s written about his daughter’s murder and his fight for gun safety in the new book, For Alison: The Murder of a Young Journalist and a Father's Fight for Gun Safety.

The book is about showing people, in painful detail, what it’s like to receive the worst phone call of your life and feel your guts get ripped right out on the kitchen floor.

Dr. Mark Menolascino: ...how important the gut is Mar 06, 2019

Show notes

Heart disease is the number one killer of women, outpacing all types of cancer, diabetes and stroke. And, while men and women face the same classic risk factors for heart disease, like high cholesterol and high blood pressure, women often manifest heart disease in different ways than men.

Our guest on this episode, Dr. Mark Menolascino, has been on the frontlines of cardiac research for most of his professional career and believes the institution of medicine hasn’t treated women’s heart health with the same care and investment as men’s. He wants to change that and has written a new book called, Heart Solution for Women.
