Mr. Jay Betrayal Trauma, Blindness and Breakthrough Healing

Dead America — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 00:45:00 GMT

In this powerful episode of the Dead America Podcast, host Ed Watters speaks with Mr. Jay, a betrayal trauma practitioner, author, and relationship coach, about the hidden wounds, identity fractures, and deep emotional fallout caused by betrayal trauma. Framed within the idea that “Dead America” is where truth cuts through the haze and hope begins, this conversation explores how betrayal impacts the nervous system, the sense of self, and the ability to trust again. Mr. Jay explains that betrayal trauma requires dependency—which means it can come from a spouse, parent, job, one’s own body, or even a creator. Focusing on spousal infidelity, he emphasizes that healing must address childhood wounds, attachment injuries, and fractured identity, not just the betrayer’s actions. He defines betrayal blindness as a survival response that causes people to explain away red flags until “discovery day,” when the truth finally breaks through. The discussion explores why betrayal trauma is uniquely devastating: it is secretive, deeply personal, and capable of damaging a person’s past, present, and future. Mr. Jay breaks down reconciliation realities, responsibility without self‑blame, and how to build boundaries rooted in personal values rather than fear. Listeners will learn: What betrayal trauma really is How childhood wounds shape adult relationships Why betrayal blindness protects the nervous system How to rebuild trust and identity The truth about love, forgiveness, and repeated release How purpose can emerge from pain Mr. Jay closes with encouragement and resources for healing at mrjrelationshipcoach.com, reminding listeners that breakthrough is possible even after the deepest betrayal.

Gabor Kadas Ending Loneliness with Verified Connection.mp3

Dead America — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 00:30:00 GMT

In this insightful episode of the Dead America Podcast, host Ed Watters speaks with Gabor Kadas, co‑founder and CEO of Friending.com, the first social app built to combat the modern loneliness epidemic through verified identity and real‑world connection. Gabor explains how Friending’s strict verification system—powered by third‑party service Persona—eliminates fake profiles, bots, and ghosting by requiring users to confirm their identity and maintain a fixed ID‑style profile photo. Additional photos are allowed, but the core image remains locked to ensure authenticity. Gabor walks through Friending’s unique features, including “AreYouIn” activity cards, real‑time and planned meetups within roughly 50 miles, and upcoming user‑created activities that make it easier than ever to meet people locally around shared interests. He also previews a future Bluetooth‑based safety alert device, a private rating signal used to improve match suggestions, and community perks such as partner discounts, subscriptions, and QR‑code coffee gifts that invite new users into the platform. The conversation explores the deeper roots of loneliness: technology misuse, remote work, shrinking social circles, and the rising number of people living alone. Gabor shares why verified identity is essential for rebuilding trust, reducing anxiety, and encouraging genuine human connection in a digital world. Listeners will learn: How Friending.com combats loneliness through real‑world meetups Why identity verification matters for safety and authenticity How activity‑based matching encourages meaningful friendships The impact of remote work and tech on social isolation How to join Friending and start meeting people locally Keywords: Gabor Kadas, Friending app, verified identity, loneliness epidemic, real‑world connection, Persona verification, social isolation, local meetups, AreYouIn activities, anti‑bot platform, friendship app, Dead America Podcast, Ed Watters. 🔖 Hashtags #GaborKadas #FriendingApp #LonelinessEpidemic #VerifiedIdentity #RealWorldConnection #MeetNewPeople #PersonaVerification #SocialIsolation #LocalMeetups #FriendshipApp #TechForGood #DeadAmericaPodcast #EdWatters #AuthenticConnection #EndLoneliness #AreYouIn #CommunityBuilding #HumanConnection #SafeSocialApps 00:00 Opening Poem Dead America 01:02 Meet Gabor Kadas 02:44 Why Verification Matters 04:53 How ID Checks Work 09:09 Stopping Fake Profiles 11:30 Locked Profile Photos 13:16 Activities and Meetups 15:04 Safety and Community Perks 21:49 Loneliness and Tech Debate 33:28 Join Friending and QR Gifts 36:50 Closing Poetic Epilogue

Kristen Crabtree From Abuse to Empowered Becoming

Dead America — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 00:15:00 GMT

In this transformative episode of the Dead America Podcast, host Ed Watters speaks with Kristen Crabtree—author, transformation guide, and creator of the Paramour Paradox—about her extraordinary journey from trauma and survival to truth, empowerment, and self reclamation. Kristen shares her lived experience surviving childhood rape, sexual assault, and a 22 year psychologically abusive marriage defined by control, manipulation, financial restriction, and fear. After leaving without clarity, she began rebuilding her agency, getting sober, and breaking free from the “victim loop.” Kristen explains how meditation—especially through Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work and Becoming Supernatural—helped her understand emotional addiction, quiet her mind, and reconnect with her truth. She introduces the Paramour Paradox, a guided by source ecosystem centered on identity excavation and becoming. Her rebuilt book, Be the You That’s More You Than You’ve Ever Been, uses a mental–emotional–physical–energy body framework and her signature archeologist → artifact → architect model. Kristen also shares key tools such as the peaks and valleys timeline, the Tree of Becoming, time consciousness practices, and the concept of the “web,” where small internal shifts ripple outward. The conversation explores: • Escaping abuse and reclaiming agency • Emotional sobriety and meditation without fear • Personal empowerment, boundaries, and authenticity • Rewriting the victim story to serve the future self • The Paramour Paradox ecosystem: journal, app, community, course, T shirts, card deck, and free resources • Her separate work as a divorce coach, especially for lesbians leaving psychologically abusive marriages Kristen’s message is clear: transformation begins when we stop performing, tell the truth, and become who we were always meant to be.

His recovery journey eventually led him to launch Steps Ministries eight years ago, a nonprofit dedicated to helping people break free from destructive patterns through empathy, humility, and practical life skills. At the center of his work is the CHAINS framework: Compulsive Habits Addictions and Idols Negative Self‑Talk This simple but powerful model helps people understand the roots of their struggles and begin the process of healing.

Garret Biss Veteran Trauma, Meaning and Recovery

Dead America — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 02:00:00 GMT

In this powerful episode of the Dead America Podcast, host Ed Watters speaks with Garret Biss, retired Marine Corps pilot, recovery coach, TEDx speaker, and advocate for veterans navigating the difficult transition from military to civilian life. Garret brings clarity to the often misunderstood crisis facing veterans today, explaining why the true veteran death toll may reach 44 per day when accounting for overdoses, high risk behaviors, and indirect self harm rooted in emotional pain. Garret describes the unspoken trauma of transition, where the loss of identity, belonging, purpose, and meaning can be as destabilizing as combat itself. He explains how meaning increases a person’s capacity to endure suffering—and how its absence can leave veterans vulnerable to depression, addiction, and emotional numbing. The conversation explores the civilian–veteran disconnect, nonprofit messaging that unintentionally labels veterans as “broken,” and military cultural norms that discourage help seeking by glorifying endurance and comparison. Listeners will learn about: • Why younger/post 9/11 veterans often feel disconnected from traditional groups like the VFW • How survival state thinking affects reintegration and treatment outcomes • The unique challenges of justice involved veterans, a high risk subset needing specialized support • The importance of nonprofit collaboration to improve measurable results • Garret’s TEDx practices: Be the connection, express your truth, seek more joy • Boundaries, self worth, and Ed’s “muddy shoe life” metaphor for shedding harmful influences Garret closes with a message of hope: every person is lovable, worthy of peace, and capable of healing. He shares a free resource, The Warrior Reset, offering four daily self care practices in under 15 minutes at thewarriorreset.com, and invites listeners to connect with him at garretbiss.com and on LinkedIn.

Adriene Caldwell Foster Care Trauma to Unbroken Hope

Dead America — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 07:00:00 GMT

In this powerful episode of the Dead America Podcast, host Ed Watters speaks with Adriene Caldwell, author of Unbroken: Life Outside the Lines, about her harrowing journey through childhood trauma, foster care failures, and the long road toward healing and hope. Adriene shares her lived experience surviving severe abuse, including childhood rape, sexual assault, and the dehumanizing treatment she endured in therapeutic foster care under an abusive foster parent she refers to as “TBFH.” Adriene exposes the systemic failures of CPS and foster care, including the lack of counseling, life skills training, and emotional support for children who have already endured significant trauma. She highlights the reality of underpaid, burned out caseworkers, the dangers of for profit foster care contractors, and the devastating outcomes many foster youth face: • Fewer than 3% use tuition waivers for college or vocational training • Roughly 1 in 5 prisoners spent time in foster care • 7 in 10 females in the system become mothers by age 21 Despite the darkness, Adriene’s story is ultimately one of resilience and transformation. She describes how a congressional scholarship that sent her to Germany for a year—and a supportive host family—became the turning point that changed her life. Through writing, advocacy, and her book Unbroken, she now offers her story to help others feel seen, validated, and hopeful. Listeners will hear: • The truth about therapeutic foster care • How poverty, class shock, and group homes shape identity • Why reform must address funding, oversight, and accountability • How one opportunity can rewrite a life • Where to find Adriene’s book and connect with her mission Keywords: Adriene Caldwell, Unbroken book, foster care failures, CPS reform, therapeutic foster care, childhood trauma, survival story, foster youth outcomes, abuse recovery, resilience, hope after trauma, Dead America Podcast, Ed Watters. https://www.UnbrokenCaldwell.com

In this inspiring episode of the Dead America Podcast, host Ed Watters speaks with Craig Alsup, full‑time missionary and global advocate with Manna Worldwide, a Fort Worth–based nonprofit serving children and families in nearly 50 countries. Craig shares how an around‑the‑world trip in 2008 exposed him and his wife to overwhelming physical and spiritual poverty, trafficking, hunger, and brokenness—an experience that reshaped their lives and ultimately led them to leave careers in therapy and public health to serve full time with Manna beginning in 2015. Craig explains the origins of Manna Worldwide, which began in the Philippines feeding children and strengthening local churches through holistic, community‑driven programs. Today, Manna operates roughly 300 projects, including nutrition centers, schools, orphanages, medical clinics, anti‑trafficking initiatives, and church‑planting partnerships, serving around 20,000 children and families every day. He shares a powerful story from Nepal about a young girl whose life was transformed through sponsorship, education, nutrition, and the hope of the gospel—illustrating how long‑term relationships and local leadership create lasting change. Craig also discusses the importance of gratitude, the global realities of poverty, and the call of Acts 1:8 to serve both locally and globally. Listeners will learn: How Manna Worldwide feeds kids and plants churches Why missions matter in today’s world The impact of holistic care on families and communities How to join mission trips, sponsor children, or partner financially Craig’s personal journey of calling, faith, and obedience Craig closes with a heartfelt challenge to step into generosity, service, and global compassion.

Tom Kubiniec - From Guitarist to Military Storage Innovator

Dead America — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 08:00:00 GMT

In this powerful episode of the Dead America Podcast, host Ed Watters sits down with Tom Kubiniec, President and CEO of Secure It Tactical, to explore an extraordinary journey of reinvention, innovation, and fearless problem solving. Tom’s story begins as a heavy metal guitarist profiled by Guitar Player Magazine in 1984, before chronic tendonitis forced him to walk away from music and rebuild his life from the ground up. What followed was an unlikely path into computer supply sales, hospital laptop security, and eventually a phone call from the FBI asking if he could store an “MP5”—which Tom initially thought was a laptop model. That moment launched him into the world of military weapon storage, despite having no firearms background at the time. By boldly claiming expertise where none existed, Tom spent 18 months surveying every Special Forces armory in America, documenting failures, and becoming the authority he said he was. This episode dives deep into the creation of the patented Cradle Grid system, a revolutionary design using one moving part to replace outdated bracket systems with 88–230 components. Tom also exposes hard truths about gun safe fire ratings, decentralized storage strategies, high stress access failures, and why most safes can be breached in seconds. Listeners will gain insight into: • How innovation is born from questioning everything • Why decentralized weapon storage offers tactical advantages • The myth of fire rated gun safes • Designing systems for fight or flight conditions • Building a company without a college degree or military service • Facing fear through land speed racing and extreme climbing This episode is a masterclass in entrepreneurship, engineering innovation, and resilience, showing how curiosity, courage, and relentless learning can redefine an entire industry.

About Kevin Burk

How to get everything you want AND be happy with Astrology
and the Human Game.

The Human Game™ is a philosophy built on the idea that the
Universe is made up of stories. If everything is a story, when you understand
stories, you can understand anything—including happiness.

Your life is a story, and you are the main character of the
Story of Your Life. Every choice you make in your life is intended to move you
closer to your ultimate goal: to get everything you’ve ever wanted. The reason
you want everything you’ve ever wanted is that you believe when you get
everything you’ve ever wanted, you’ll live happily ever after.

This doesn’t mean what you think it means.

Happily ever after is not the end of the story of your life.
Happily ever after means your life goes on—ever after—and that happiness is
taken for granted. Happily ever after means you have a foundation of happiness.
Happily ever after isn’t a happy ending. Happily ever after is a happy
beginning. The Story of Your Life is just getting started—and it’s about to get
GOOD.

Your current goal is happiness. To achieve a goal, you need
to know three things. You need to know what it is, you need to know where it
is, and you need to know how to get there. At the moment, you don’t know what
happiness is or where it is, so how you’re trying to get there doesn’t matter.

The Human Game will give you better answers to all three of
these questions. You will know what happiness is and what’s required to
experience it. You will know where happiness is. And you will understand your
current approach to happiness—and what you can do to improve it.

Not only will the Human Game transform happiness from a
vague idea into something practical you can achieve—it can also help you to get
there. With the Human Game, you can build a Happiness GPS that uses the map of
your unique birth chart to give you turn-by-turn directions to the best
possible outcome in any situation.

You are familiar with the dark, difficult stretches of your
thoughts and how you feel lost, confused and unhappy. They seep into your mindset and make you feel
unsure and depressed. What if these
thoughts came from patterns that are obstacles to your happiness? In relationships, in life choices, in your
daily mindset, and in your view of yourself - they cause obstacles. In therapy, you push yourself and try to
figure it out and change it but you keep coming back to that word “stuck” and
things that feel uncomfortably familiar.

Sitting at my desk, reflecting on my career and what it has
taught me, my thoughts move to an internal remembrance of clients whose
progress stalls. They often report
feeling frustrated and disempowered when they are trying to make change and
can’t move forward. Their motivation
dwindles. They may doubt themselves. As
a therapist, I challenge them to take time to feel all of this, allow the human
condition, and give space to this experience. This is a time of self-exploration when the emotions eventually largely
dissipate. Dig deeper into who you are
and what is really holding you back.

When you feel like there is something holding you back, you
may be detecting an obstacle that is present but unrecognized. Reaching into therapeutic methods and
strategies and possibly seeing some progress but it is not always enough to
regain your happiness or potentially break these patterns. Or you may leave, feeling renewed, and then
find that you are back in that familiar cycle with that familiar type of person
or situation. You may blame yourself but
it is the patterns, the obstacles under the surface. You can only make so much change within
yourself. However, if you don’t identify
these obstacles through exploration, you will be there again. Let’s find your way to move past them for
good.

Aaron Shelley Primed For Success

Dead America — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 08:01:00 GMT

Aaron has a BS in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA. He has
worked with small businesses and startups where he developed a unique systems
perspective on business and family. His work in the academic and business
worlds led him to understand how related our families and business dynamics
are. He and his wife have run the largest Irish Dance school in Utah for over
20 years. He has built multiple companies, consulted across multiple
industries, and helped raise $54 million as the COO of a technology company. He
lives in Utah with his wife and four children.

About Aaron Shelley

It always seemed like my friends and I were primed for
success. I grew up in a suburban neighborhood and there were about ten boys
around that became my friends. We went to the same church. We went to the same
schools. We were all in the same scout troop. We played sports in the street
almost every day. We regularly played video games and board games together. Our
families all had about the same amount of money. We all had two parents in the
home. We were all living the American middle-class lifestyle.

After high school, we all went our separate ways, and that
is when things started to go off the rails.

Two years after high school, the parents of my best friend
John got divorced. I had spent hours playing at their home, jumping on their
trampoline, watching TV, and now with three kids still at home, they divorced.
A few years later, another friend’s parents got divorced. I had played board
games at their house almost every week growing up.

So much for happily ever after.

As we grew older, I went to college, got married, got an
engineering degree, got a business degree, had four kids and started a
business. One friend became a lawyer, got married, and then got divorced. One
had six kids, had serious health issues and worked a blue-collar job for a
logistics company. One started his own construction company and had four kids.
And one was sentenced to life without parole in prison for rape and attempted
murder of a twenty-year-old woman.

Wait! What? I had become a little numb to the divorces, but
I was shocked when my friend went to prison for rape and attempted murder. A
failed marriage is one thing, but life in prison is completely different. Have
you ever had a friend do something so bad that you wonder if you even really
knew them?

How did we turn out so differently? We were all raised in
the same middle-class neighborhood, same schools, same activities, and yet the
outcomes of our lives varied so wildly. As a husband and parent to four
children, I became obsessed in trying to understand why families turn out the
way they do so that I could protect my family from these problems.

At the time, I was forty years old and had just finished
work at a failed startup company. I was also working on another startup and
doing consulting. It was during this time that I finally found the answer to my
question. On one project, I was interviewing people with different family
structures for a professor that was writing a book on the relationship between
entrepreneurship levels and family. On another consulting job I was managing
all the processes, systems, and people at a small fulfillment company.

This weird combination of researching family and managing a
small business at the same time led me to the insight that family and business
are actually very similar. Both a family and a business are a group of people
working together so they can survive and grow. Of course, there are
differences—like families usually being biologically related, unlike coworkers,
and parents’ inability to fire their children—but at a high level, families act
very similar to small businesses. I know you probably don’t believe me, and I’d
be skeptical, too. Business is always portrayed as being heartless and
uncaring, and no one wants a family like that. Just stick with me and let's see
if you agree or not.

Nick Drivas Personal Development Coach

Dead America — Sat, 25 Nov 2023 08:01:00 GMT

Nick Drivas is an Online Personal
Development Coach that focuses on building the best possible YOU to hit
that next level.

After being a porn addict for 10+ years, he finally decided
to make a change for himself focusing on his fitness, mindset, and nutrition.

He was at the point of suicide before making this change,
the program he teaches now to others was the same program that saved his own
life.

About Nick Drivas

I had a 10+ year porn addiction that I was able to get over
since running my business. I found myself always digging a deeper hole for
myself when I went to the porn and it only made my life worse. Growing up
through my teenage years and early twenties, I had no confidence, always walked
all over by others and felt weak as a man.

At 21, I started my online fitness coaching business and the
porn was still taking over my life as I tried to build my business up. It left
me hopeless, I wanted to end it all from my business to my life itself.

Last year, I was able to finally dig myself out of this rut
I built for myself by hiring a coach to make my discipline bulletproof and
build strong habits for myself.

I found that my program I teach now is focusing on helping
you develop the discipline through daily habits of fitness, mindset, and
nutrition to end your porn or any addiction you may have. It worked for me and
I had to grow into the person I am today to make my business work in my favor.

Wilk Wilkinson Derate The Hate

Dead America — Fri, 24 Nov 2023 08:02:00 GMT

I am Wilk Wilkinson, husband, father, Christian
conservative, and host of the Derate The Hate podcast. I’m a man who has, over
the course of my life, made more than my share of mistakes, but most
importantly, I've owned up to them and I’ve learned from them. I grew up poor,
mostly in rural towns around the upper Midwest. I've been working from the age
of 10 years old so that I might have the things my parents could not or for
good reason, would not provide for me. For all their faults, my parents
provided what was needed, of which were love and good values.

We moved a lot as I was growing up. I was in far more
schools throughout my k-12 years that I completed grades. I was bullied
incessantly through much of grade school and learned a lot from that
experience, good and bad. I’ve been able to overcome a lot of anger and
animosity over the years and try to share my experiences in a way that helps
others do the same. My failures have been my most successful teachers. I've
grown to become successful in my career, marriage, and parenting in ways I
never would have imagined as a younger person. Through my podcast, I attempt to
share with others the tips and tools I’ve used to change the trajectory of my
life. Topics regularly include personal accountability, gratitude, civility,
mindset, and so much more.

We cannot control everything that happens to us in life, or
the world in which we live, but we have the absolute responsibility as
individuals to control how we will react to it. Civility does not require that
we force our opinions on others, demand like mindedness, or hate those with
whom we disagree, but simply to see the humanity in all people despite our
differences, whatever those differences may be.

-Common Man, Common Sense

-Co-Chair: 2023 Braver Angels National Convention

About Wilk Wilkinson

Bettering the world one attitude at a time. We did not
create the hate, but with your help, we can DERATE THE HATE… In a world filled
with divisiveness, frustration and lack of happiness, it’s time we all start to
get along. (even with those people with an opinion or mindset that differs from
our own) That all starts with each of us as individuals. We cannot necessarily
control everything we encounter within our day to day lives, or the environment
in which we live, but we certainly have the ability to control how we react to
it. It all starts with gratitude and personal accountability.

Civility does not require that we force our opinions on
others, demand like mindedness, or hate those with whom we disagree, but simply
seeing the humanity in all people despite our differences, whatever they may
be.

Life is about choices. In most cases, being happy is a
choice, so is being miserable. Misery and unhappiness often stem from an always
offended mindset or what I call the perpetual victim mentality. Smiles and bad
moods are contagious, so those who choose to be miserable often bring those around
them down, the converse is true with happiness. Choices always have
consequences. Make good choices.

Take a listen and see if there is something here to help you
in taking your part in turning down the hate. Welcome to the Derate The Hate
Podcast…

Ryan Sullivan I'm SullyBop

Dead America — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 08:01:00 GMT

I help people launch top 3% podcasts with 0 paid promotion
in 5 meetings or less using a proven launch strategy to create content people
actually want to watch.

Beyond that, I'm SullyBop; I live a second life as a rapper
and DJ of 8 years performing and hosting over 300 live events.

If a mechanic can figure it out, so can you.

About Ryan Sullivan

First, thank you for reading. This is my bio, so be aware
that I'm going deep on, "me" but I don't expect our episode to be so
me-centric, unless you want it to.

TLDR on Sully:

- Worked as a mechanic for 4 years, sold and flipped 30+
cars

- Made $80 my first 90 days of freelancing and been
independent ever since

- Took 3.5g of mushrooms and almost died on a river, but
escaped to tell the story

- Found and paid mentors along the way who are now my peers

- Launched a podcast in my parents garage that now reaches
thousands

- Released 2 mixtapes, 1 album and created 100+ songs with 0
experience

- Launched a podcast coaching agency and hired my best
friends to help

The Story:

One of my first podcast guests, Brian Conklin passed away in
a tragic car accident in 2021. Most of what I do today is inspired by him and
my biggest accomplishment is the fact that his family can hear him speak for 2
hours because of that episode. Money, followers - none of it is important in
the end, and that's what I'm focused on.

At the age of 16, I started recording hiphop music with
friends. Since then, I've developed a brand around my stage name,
"SullyBop." I've DJ'd, performed and hosted hundred of events and
it's undoubtedly an interest, turned passion.

I launched a podcast on a whim in 2018 after watching
countless hours of Gary Vee. After meeting him in 2019, I vowed to dedicate my
life to creating a business around helping people create podcasts. Since then,
I've interviewed over 100 people on my show, and helped over 100 more
podcasters and future podcasters.

I have found a way to pursue my dreams at 24 years old and I
couldn't be more grateful to share some time with you on your show.

Danielle Matthews Post Traumatic Growth Specialist

Dead America — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 08:01:00 GMT

Entrepreneur & Post Traumatic
Growth Specialist

Biography

At the age of 23 Danielle was hit by a drunk driver and
sustained a life-altering injury to her brain. The medical world said there was
no hope of recovery & told her to accept this life as her “new
normal”.

Although her body was physically impaired, her spirit was
strong & she refused to believe their diagnoses. Her mind was determined to
recover…and she did!

She is a testament to the concept of post traumatic growth
and has since built an international business leading an organization that did
$2.2 million in sales last year, authored an e-book called 'Mind Control: It's
All In Your Head' and shares her life-altering experience with countless people
around the globe.

Elizabeth Mikotowicz Painting Murals As A Federal Inmate

Dead America — Mon, 20 Nov 2023 08:01:00 GMT

Artist/entrepreneur/activist

5 years ago, she was painting murals as a federal inmate now
she's launched an environmentally friendly clothing brand based on her art. She
has also been working with state representatives to get better laws on the
table that protect people - some passed.

About Elizabeth Mikotowicz

In her 20's she barely survived a very violent relationship;
he assaulted her with a wooden dowel, and you could see her skull when it
happened. The Drs gave her opioids, and when she refused, they threatened her
with child protective services because she was pregnant and refusing medical
advice. She Was told she was on too small a dose to get addicted. Eventually,
she went to the DV shelter and was turned away, they said her injury was too
severe and it put the other women in danger. She survived because drug dealers
helped her - or took advantage depending on how you look at it. She eventually
went to federal prison for a non-violent drug charge. She endured and witnessed
so much institutional abuse, corruption, systemic racism, and cruelty;
sometimes she still wakes up screaming. But! She's turned it all around and
launched an environmentally friendly feminine brand that is being sold in stores
and comes in plus sizes. She has gotten bills put on the table and passed for
the good of the people- not corporations and institutions. She is letting the
world know what America "land of the free" is doing to its
incarcerated population which is the highest rate in the world. She is also
exposing other systemic abuse and corruption that effects Americans every day.
She is sharing her healing journey and what she has learned about her own
trauma and mental health.

Stephen Avent Mindset & Lifestyle Coach

Dead America — Sun, 19 Nov 2023 08:01:00 GMT

Stephen Avent

Mindset & Lifetsyle Coach / Realtor

I am a mindset & lifestyle coach with almost two decades
elite level dog training, developing family guardians, to be loving, obedient
and protective members of the family, I’ve taken the acquired behavioural
modification skills, as well as my ability for discipline, pattern recognition
and behaviour development comprehension, and focused them on teaching people
how to develop themselves into their best self, the person they always needed
in their own lives, the one they can be most proud of, so that they can then
offer this person to the world and start living a life of gratitude, instead of
the current, common life of victimhood; to take control of their life and
become the author, through a daily process of stacking constant wins through a
non-negotiable process.

My first organic memory at the age of 6 is of my mom having
her first grand mal seizure in front of me, and as I’d been continually
interrupting her, I thought I’d caused it and that she was dying. I grew up
with 2 dads, (biological & step) but never had a good father son
relationship with either, and never had a proper male role model, so after many
years of living a lifestyle of drinking, drugs, aggression, anger and chasing
women; that I was raised to feel reflected what a man did, I found a new
calling, dropped my vices and constantly strive to develop into the man I
admire most and that I can now offer to the world to help others do the same.
I’ve been in short and long term relationships, the longest being 10 years,
which came to an end due to my infidelity; I am now in a relationship that had
brought more struggle in the first year and resulted in more growth since, as
we both continue to come to the table for each other, and have aligned
perspectives, values, goals and love/respect for each other, that we keep
coming together stronger and closer, as we navigate our newly engaged
relationship and lives.

My message is about living in the magic of love. This
involves getting quiet to hear what you soul is wanting because once you align
with your unique soul, you can find your unconditional love. I am all about
activating people to understand their unique light and how that connection to
the universal oneness feeds your desires and give you ultimate happiness. We
can only find that peace when we are confident about the belief that we matter.
As one of us is living in our unique joy, those around us are inspired and the
world is changed. The difficult part is that we have to be on a quest, we have
to assert ourselves to find our specific answers and what I call breadcrumbs. I
can share how the angels can help us discern and navigate what the highest
expression of our choices can be each day

Michael Santonato

Dead America — Sun, 12 Nov 2023 08:01:00 GMT

Michael Santonato is utterly compelled to give people a True
Financial Education. He's convinced that no one will ever get a true financial
education in school, at work, in church or religion, or community or family.

However, Michael was lucky enough to have parents for bank
managers and they taught Michael all the basics, all the essential foundations
of personal finance at a young age. "It took me a long time to realize
that our dinner table conversations were different than most families" Michael
says. But that doesn't mean they were in the top 1% of financial wealth. It
just means Michael's parents gave him a financial education, one that most
never get AND NEVER, EVER WILL.

Now Michael teaches and trains families and business owners,
everything from the tax system, investments, leverage, loans, tax credits,
insurance and so much more. Michael helps clients identify opportunities and
fill the gap from where they are financially to where they want to be… Why?
Because they just won’t get it anywhere else.

David Dowlen I walk with men

Dead America — Thu, 09 Nov 2023 08:01:00 GMT

David Dowlen

I walk with men wherever they are starting with figuring out
where they want to go and what they want to achieve.

I have done interviews about fatherhood, Marriage , my story
and general personal development. I am really focused on helping men find and
walk towards their purpose right now. However what I would most like to talk
about is what you think will bring your guest the most value. I know for some
podcasters that statement is a turn off. What I mean by it is I know there are
topics you would love to cover with someone that you don't get the chance to
but believe it would really benefit your audience. With you shooting for spring
of 2024 there is no telling, so it should probably be something evergreen

Douglas Robbins Den of Discussion

Dead America — Wed, 08 Nov 2023 08:01:00 GMT

Douglas Robbins began his writing career at a young age,
when one of his teachers asked the class to write a poem. In that moment he
found a power in words that he'd never found anywhere else.

Robbins grew up, attended college, and held jobs in numerous
fields, from construction to insurance. The jobs changed, but his need to write
remained a constant. According to Robbins, "As time passed, I started to
write more seriously because it was the only profession that ever made sense.
It wasn't so much a career move. It was a move out of necessity."

He released his first novel, The Reluctant Human, in 2012.
He quickly followed it up with the novella Max Johnny, and a book of short
stories, Leaves Piled High.

In 2019 he released Narican: The Cloaked Deception, his
first book in this sci-fi series.

Love in a Dying Town: The story of a single father
struggling to raise his daughter in a dying factory town. It is a story about
love, commitment, and sacrifice. It is due out in 2021.

In 2022 we should see the second and third book in the
Narican series.

Robbins lives in the Catskill Mountains of New York with his
wife and family.

Dr. Doug Garland Tall Poppy Syndrome (TPS)

Dead America — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 07:02:00 GMT

Dr. Doug Garland practiced orthopedic surgery in Southern California for 37 years. He is a Clinical Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Southern California and published more than 110 peer-reviewed scientific articles. After experiencing the tall poppy syndrome (TPS) firsthand, Dr. Garland began a 10-year journey researching TPS. This exploration began in Ancient Greece, where the syndrome was first described, to modern times and involved various countries, customs, and cultures. Specific emphasis was directed towards Australia, where TPS is a cultural pastime. To his surprise, it was recognized everywhere in one form or another except in America. After studying America's emotional-cultural behavior, Dr. Garland concluded that TPS was prominent in America, perhaps more so than in any other country, but it is unrecognized. Emotional behaviors of the cutter and cutter were identified. The result was the definitive tome, "The Tall Poppy Syndrome - The Joy of Cutting Others Down," with more than 600 citations, which is available on Amazon.

Bio:

I’m an award winning author, christian mystic and reiki level II healer and former executive in the high tech industy. I've written two memoirs on how my life changed when I turned my daily to-do list over to my higher power ( God/Spirit/Source.)

When I was in my 40’s, I was a single mother of eight children, their sole financial support, working as an executive in the high tech industry, and also had returned to university to finish my last year of work on a bachelor’s degree. I was a compulsive list maker who never came close to accomplishing all I needed to accomplish, often waking in a panic about all that needed to be done that I wasn’t doing. My life completely changed when I began taking my to-do list to God /Spirit/Inner voice each day and asking what I should be doing. I stopped waking in a panic, got more done, more sleep and less stress. And found my true purpose.

I was just trying to get through each day but instead I got the most unexpected, wonderful life of purpose and meaning that I never even knew was possible.

I approach this from a Christian viewpoint in a spiritual rather than religious way. I’m a Christian mystic, Reiki Level II healer, and have a daily practice of contemplative prayer, an ancient Christian meditative practice having a revival today.

I wrote the books in hopes that others would be inspired to take the same path. Many do, which brings great satisfaction.

Ann has found that seeking out our truth, what we truly feel, and accepting those feelings, is the key to inner peace.

him one-on-one. What happens next is a
journey—spanning three continents, unique
teaching experiments, never-ending battles with
the school system, a mother’s discovery of
her own learning blocks, and a bond fueled by the
desire to rid Nicholas of the “disabled”
label. Reversed is a memoir of profound
determination that follows the highs and lows of
overcoming impossible odds, turning one woman into
a passionate teacher for children who
have been left behind.

Biography

My book,
"Reversed: A Memoir," chronicles an extraordinary journey of
overcoming daunting odds, offering inspiration and hope to parents and
educators navigating desperate situations. At the age of 39, while teaching my
second son how to read, I stumbled upon my own "learning difference,"
an unexpected revelation that ignited an unwavering pursuit for answers. With
sheer determination and unyielding resilience, I confronted challenges and
battled self-doubt head-on, proving that no obstacle is insurmountable. Through
relentless effort, I witnessed the transformative power of perseverance,
achieving significant milestones and experiencing profound personal growth.

I discovered the immense value of trusting my instincts. This experience lead
to my appreciating literacy learning as being more than a “set of skills to
acquire.” Embracing foundational knowledge of “how children and adults
learn,” and adopting a growth mindset, I unlocked true potential,
shattering self-limiting beliefs.

Guided by the philosophy of living in the present moment, I learned to
appreciate the inherent beauty of the journey itself. As the founder of Lois
Letchford, Language, Literacy, and Learning tutoring, I am dedicated to
assisting others facing similar challenges. My memoir serves as a beacon of
hope, sharing the mission and vision of empowering individuals with dyslexia.

"Reversed: A Memoir" stands as a testament to triumph over adversity,
offering not only inspiration and motivation but also a profound sense of hope
for all who read it.

DOUG NOLL DE-ESCALATE

Dead America — Wed, 28 Jun 2023 07:01:00 GMT

Doug Noll and Laurel Coffer started the Prison Peace Project in 2009, which has trained over 1000 women and 1000 men to be peacemakers and mediators. The project has expanded to 15 California prisons, a prison in Connecticut, 14 prisons in Greece, and startups in Italy and Nairobi. The curriculum teaches inmates how to listen, de-escalate, conduct listening peace circles, make durable agreements, coach people, manage strong emotions, and morally reengage people who are morally disengaged. The project has had a 0% recidivism rate, and none of its students have reoffended. The speaker discusses their work teaching incarcerated individuals conflict resolution skills, which has led to a transformation in their behavior and a shift towards promoting peace. They explain their technique of cognitive empathy, which involves reflecting on someone's emotions to them, and how it can lead to a calming effect on the brain. The meeting discussed the use of "you" and "I" statements in communication, with the conclusion that "you" statements are ineffective and "I" statements should be used to express one's own emotions. The importance of emotional competency was also emphasized, with the distinction made between emotional intelligence (a measure) and emotional confidence (a set of skills). The meeting discussed how emotional incompetence is passed down from parents to children, causing emotional stunting in adults. The solution is to learn emotional competence and identify triggers through environmental cues and affect labeling. Doug offers public speaking, coaching, and workshops on listening skills and emotional confidence. His goal is to help people become better listeners and spread peace.

Action items

Use "I" statements instead of "you" statements in communication.

Michaell Magrutsche The Power of Art and Creativity

Dead America — Wed, 21 Jun 2023 07:01:00 GMT

My interview with Michaell Magrutsche discussed the importance of creativity and self-expression in art, as well as the societal limitations placed on artists. The conversation also touched on the need for adaptable systems and the importance of inclusivity in society. The speaker emphasized the value of art and encouraged people to recognize its worth. The meeting also discussed the dangers of limited knowledge and the potential for a small group of people to make decisions that affect millions. The importance of focusing on what is helpful for humans, rather than political fanaticism, was emphasized. The speaker encouraged listeners to seek truth and not judge themselves.

Action items

Encourage recognition of the value of art.
Promote inclusivity in society.
Advocate for adaptable systems.
Seek truth and avoid political fanaticism.
Avoid limited knowledge and decision-making by a small group of people.
About Michaell

AWARENESS TRUMPS EVERYTHING. ONCE AWARE, CHANGE HAPPENS AUTOMATICALLY. I am a creativity-awareness educator, unveiling and promoting our limitless human potential through awareness and wisdom of humanity that is found in art-creativity. Contrarily to short-time knowledge of limited man-made systems like technology, economy and businesses that drive us actually away from our human experience.

I point to our untapped human abilities like our truth-compass of nature and our inherent tools of creativity and healthy discourse and adaptability.

I am a passionate creativity/awareness researcher that looks for true values of humanity outside of any man-made system.

Humans are in a consciousness-crisis thus we need something very different right now.

I believe in outside the box problem solving to experience our human experience inclusive with nature.

When we become more conscious, the change will happen automatically.

Being the best YOU that you can be for YOURSELF (not for the system) is the key that all will flourish.
Understand what it means to be human.

The earth and nature never need to be saved, but we have to become conscious otherwise we extinguish our humanity again.

Be a steward of YOUR natural habitat. Avoid impacting nature so that it is impossible for our species to survive.

We need to understand humans and our habitat nature are THE priority.

Alter our man-made systems adequately to offer us safety and security. The functions that were correlated with family, tribe and systems from the beginning.

Always keep raising OUR human potential (therein lies heaven on earth.)

Biography

I am an Austrian-Californian multimedia Artist. I became a creativity-awareness educator through my experience-based outside-the-box upbringing that I was forced into, through my neurodiversity.

I am totally self-taught, author of 5 books, podcaster, speaker, guide, former Newport Beach CA Arts-Commissioner and co-produced with Robert Evans. Fluent in German and English.

My ability is that I can see hidden contexts which allows me to resolve paradoxes and together we arrive at awareness solutions in leadership, hospitality, customer service, communication, success vs. fulfillment and obviously any form of creativity and culture.

I separate each problem/solution in human and system relevancy, which allows all participants/host/listeners to become aware and align needs.
Without creativity there are no man-made systems, there would be no world as we know it.

I discover patterns within art/creativity that foster creative communication and identify art-values outside of any art-product. This perspective of looking at creativity this way brings humanity together, shows its limitlessness and raises our human potential.

I discovered that there are three inherent human-superpowers that we all should be aware of:
1. Creativity, 2. Healthy Dialogue and 3. Adaptability.

All systems need to be adapted to this strategy because without humans there is no need for systems.

Humans and living beings and nature must be THE PRIORITY to keep raising OUR human potential instead of wasting our lifeforce with man-made systems (therein lies heaven on earth.)

Listen to my 30 second podcast THE SMART OF ART - The Power of Art and Creativity, where I induce conversations about this limitless superpower.

KIM HAMER UNHELPFUL STATEMENTS

Dead America — Wed, 14 Jun 2023 07:02:00 GMT

This interview featured Kim Hamer, an HR leader and author who founded 100 Acts of Love to help people support their friends dealing with cancer. She discussed the importance of being specific when offering support and avoiding unhelpful statements. The concept of "receiver's guilt" was also discussed, and the importance of giving from a place of pure intention was emphasized. Kim shared her experience of overcoming depression after her husband's death and the importance of gratitude and community support. She also provided helpful tips for HR teams on supporting employees with cancer.

Action Items

HR teams should review their policies and procedures to ensure they are providing adequate support for employees with cancer.
Encourage employees to be specific when offering support to colleagues dealing with cancer.
Avoid making unhelpful statements that may cause "receiver's guilt."
Emphasize the importance of giving from a place of pure intention.
Encourage employees to practice gratitude and seek community support.
Consider inviting Kim Hamer to speak at future events or meetings.
On April 16, 2009, Kim Hamer watched her 44-year-old husband take his last breath. During his illness and after his death, she was amazed by the helpful ways their
coworkers, bosses, friends, and family supported them. Kim started calling their kind actions "acts of love."

After the death of her husband, Kim, an HR leader, noticed how little guidance leaders received when navigating cancer, health crisis, or death on their team. She knew their lack of knowledge negatively affected morale, employee engagement, and productivity. She set out to change that. Combining her personal experience with her professional knowledge and leadership skills, Kim launched her business to support leaders and coworkers when cancer (or any health crisis) affects a team member.

Kim Hamer is the author of 100 Acts of Love: A Girlfriend's Guide to Loving Your Friend through Cancer or Loss, an easy-to-read book filled with 100 practical, quick, and effective ways to support a friend or coworker. She’s also an HR leader and speaker who lives in Los Angeles, where she tries not to bother her relatively well-behaved college-aged children.

Bio,

My story starts with being the best dressed little kid in town, I had everything I wanted in life. My father owned multiple Nursing Homes in the Worcester MA area which would be my legacy. His Nursing Home in Millbury is where he met my mother who worked for him as a CNA. When I was about 3 years old my life changed drastically as my father lost everything due to an unknown reason in one day at least we kids never learned why.

When I was 5 years old my mother died, and my father moved me and my sister around a lot. This included a Navajo Reservation in Arizona where I was the only white boy on the Res and was treated as such. I was actually forced to become a blood brother when some of the kids held me down, cut me, forcing me to exchange blood with another. This was some sort of ritual to make me more like them I guess.

We moved to the US-Mexico border in the small town of Van Horn Texas after that, where again I was the minority and treated as such, I was bullied and in fights every day with the other kids. At this point when I tell my story, some have asked me if I ended up prejudiced, and I reply with "nope and I got a son that is part Spanish and part Hawian to prove it, and his mother is one of my trusted friends to this day". When I was 11 years old my father died, I held his hand as he died in the hospital leaving me and my sister, now as orphans without any family around; in that part of the country anyway.

My family up in Massachusetts heard about what happened and sent my Uncle down to rescue us, we were flying back so my sister and I had to leave just about everything behind, including my dog Max whom I hear was taken in by a neighbor. My Uncle could only describe our living conditions to my Grandfather as unlivable when he asked. My father did the best he could for us, but we still lived extremely poorly.

When my father died I was in a deep shock, unable to speak for about 6 months. I ended up getting through this, but it was replaced by hatred and resentment. I ended up being a kid who hated the world for what happened to me, and anyone who tried to be my family, thinking why did my life end up like this? I felt like the world owed me for my loss. I went through most of my young adult life like this too and became an addict, addicted to cocaine, alcohol, and smoking a lot of marijuana!

I ended up going into the military because I screwed my life up so much my Aunt that I lived with told me to go out and get a job or don't come home, which now I see as a blessing! I came back and told her and my Uncle I joined the Military, and I'm leaving home! I went to Basic Training in Fort Benning Georgia, I was so skinny and weakened that it almost killed me, but I began to see what I was capable of as I was fighting for my life! After graduating Basic & AIT and being the only soldier without family at my graduation, I went to Fort Carson Colorado where I spent the next 3 years active duty being my CO's Bradly Driver and finding a place I could excel, I also found myself in a tank explosion and Gitmo Bay Cuba for 6 months, but I gotta save some for my autobiography.

After the military, I worked odd jobs including security and sales until my Uncle who raised me and my Grandfather died a month apart. When this happened I ended up in a dark depression, I became a carver, cutting into my skin to feel something other than the hellish pain I was feeling. I wanted to have them back now after resenting them all these years. I wanted to tell them, show them I loved them and could change! I was so darkened by this depression that I tried taking my own life with a bottle of sleeping pills and the words "f** you world" carved into my arm. Some of my friends found me the next day and got me to the hospital. I remember hearing a Dr. say he's amazed I was still alive, he wasn't the only one! The hospital sent me to the VA Brockton Mental Health facility where I spent a few days before they sent me away and I ended up homeless on the streets of Boston for a while before finding VA Homeless shelters where I began to see things in a different light. I was finally diagnosed with P.T.S.D. which the Dr's tell me I had since my mother died, my family and I never knew, and P.T.S.D. was unheard of in someone who wasn't in a war zone until a few years before. Who would have thought a child had what was known as "battle fatigue"? I went undiagnosed for decades, but now that I knew I could begin proper recovery.

I have seen all the homeless heroes/veterans and began to realize I wasn't alone, life kicks a lot of us in the ass and it's up to us if we lay down and die with the words "f** you world" carved in our arms, or we get up, brush the dust off and keep moving forward! I ended up brushing the dust off, it took me a few years but I got out of that situation and found peace in my life for the first time since I was a child. I began to find coping skills that worked for me such as martial arts and exercise. I also began to realize one of my best coping skills and qualities was helping others and sharing my story. I began working as a Private Investigator and Security Consultant for a time, and as a Peer Support Specialist including addiction recovery, and a Case Manager, oh, and an author of some great self-help books! Like I said though I have gotta save some for my autobiography.

These days life is not perfect, I only see my son on the weekends, but I talk to him daily. Not the life I want for either of us, especially given how close we are, but this is how life turned out for us. I still have tragedies like my cousin whom I idolized going missing for 6 months 2 years back, this guy had all the girls, money, the biggest truck, and the title for being one of the toughest people in Worcester! The only thing that was stronger than he was, was the opioid epidemic we currently face! His body was found in the woods with Lyme and drug paraphernalia around his body and worst of all they had to do dental recognition to identify him when a hunter was walking his dog and found him. It was pure hell searching for him for 6 months, it engulfed me, my entire life at that time, and when he was found it was like someone stabbed me in the gut! Instead of letting this pull me back down though I used my coping skills to remain strong and help those whom this epidemic is killing! I began helping to find people who are missing in my area, especially those who are affected by this epidemic were facing. I now live for the memory of those I lost in my life, being the person they would want me to be. I tell my story to inspire others and show them no matter how bad life gets if you keep pushing, fight hard, and refuse to be put down then you can rise above and have a good life no matter what cards you're dealt with!

limitations of Medicare and Medicaid, and the potential of using a reverse
mortgage to cover long-term care costs. He encouraged people to contact him or
visit his website to learn more about their options.

James Heppner

Dead America — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 08:00:00 GMT

James Heppner is a self-help
hacker and strategist who helps people live fully alive, passionate, and
fulfilled. He has gone through a dark night of the soul and has come out the
other side with an unshakable love of life. He encourages people to accept life's
challenges and to look upriver to discover the source of the problems rather
than just putting a Band-Aid on them. He offers one-on-one coaching services
and a free community call every Friday to discuss wins and losses. He also
shares a story about his son, Harrison, who realized that all he had to do was
participate in what was directly in front of him to be just fine. Apologize to
children to strengthen relationships and learn from them. Embrace life's wins
and losses and utilize them to maximize life. Adopt the belief that life owes
them nothing, that nothing has to be perfect, that everything is a co-creation,
and that nothing traps them. Participate with what is directly in front of them
to be just fine. Join James Heppner’s weekly wins and losses call. Check out
James Rollins' website for speaking engagements and a media kit. ABOUT JAMES My
life worked until it didn’t. The business was strong, the capital was
plentiful, and life seemed all I had ever dared wish it to be. Performing life
vs. Living life nearly cost me my business, my investments, my children, and my
marriage. The never-ending hyper-vigilant striving to achieve the next level of
success suddenly awakened me to the deep emptiness of my current lived
experience. Unable to truly celebrate and instead deeply anxious about the
rawness of who I really was on the inside, I flip-flopped between being
restless & bored and anxious & depressed. Thankfully peace didn’t come,
but instead, I fell into a million tiny pieces. It forced me to build a new
infrastructure grounded upon authenticity and gratitude. I made critical
decisions like “my joy is not for sale” and “losses are simply disguised gifts
hidden in plain sight.” I’ve spent the last decade designing my life of
gratitude and can honestly say I have an unshakeable love for my life. Not in
spite of the losses that I’ve had to endure however rather BECAUSE of the
losses that I’ve utilized well. Fearing Fear itself has now left me. Today I
help people ignite their vibrant energy toward life by turning toward what they
really want - to courageously step towards their comforts and discomforts with
curiosity and an open embrace of the goodness that lies at the core of both the
win and the loss. The truth is - Real life is made up of both wins and losses.
Both were designed for your good - that's the basic reality. Without facing and
learning how to embrace your losses for greater gain, you miss out. Why choose
to leave 50% of your life experience on the table when you can choose to do the
work so that you can have it all? Life can be good news - if we let it. Life
can shine In through the cracks - if we let it in. I INVITE YOU TO TAKE THE
RIDE OF YOUR LIFE BY ENGAGING WITH ME AS YOUR GUEST ON YOUR SHOW. Together we
can deliver a transformative and deeply invigorating message that meets people
exactly where they are at today.

Tracey Whittet

Dead America — Wed, 04 Jan 2023 08:00:00 GMT

Tracey Whittet
Tracey Whittet is a gifted energy facilitator, author, and intuitive guide based in Santa Fe, NM. She’s trained in many energy healing modalities, including Reiki, Divine Healing Hands, Theta Healing, Access Consciousness, Yuen Method, and Healing Touch. Over the years, these and other pieces of training have evolved, leading her to implement an integrated method called Transmosis Healing.

Transmosis Healing clears energies that make us sick or hold us back. It is a multidimensional body balancing session that clears non-beneficial energies on all levels, layers, timelines, and dimensions. Clients feel better, are happier, lighter, and uplifted by the 100% pure divine light clearing. This unique energy clearing connects us to the healing power of our true divine nature.

To learn more about Transmosis Healing, please visit her website TraceyWhittet.com. Tracey offers her free eBook called The Magi Within Unlocking the Gifts of the Inner Self as a gift for those listeners who wish to dive deeper into their own empowering intuitive gifts.

The conversation I had with Tracey was very interesting. I learned more about how she came up with her Transmosis Energy Healing and the power we find in our world. The power that each of us holds can be very confusing; Tracey wants to share what she understands about our world. What we can overcome when we find the way is breathtaking.

Open your mind to understanding what is around you and evaluate what you have learned. You are in control of what you believe; the only way to validate your belief is to challenge what you already know.

I hope you find value in this great conversation.

Michael Clogs

Dead America — Sat, 31 Dec 2022 17:47:00 GMT

Michael Clogs

Michael Clogs started his podcast company out of frustration with a conflict between what he knew to be the truth and what the mass media was telling the public. After losing a job as an analytical chemist in a high-tech industry, he was told he was untrainable and too expensive to be hired by any other industry. Forced to find a way to survive, Michael managed to find a way to pay the rent in the mobile app world and daycare. That was not enough, and he began broadcasting on a local radio station advocating for equality and rights for people with disabilities, and Depictions Media was born from there. Please go to Depictions.media

After getting to know Michael, I was impressed by his will to drive change in our world. He is very active in presenting us with well-informed media. You can understand our world and how it works when you follow Michael on his unique podcasts. It would be best if you were the driver when you discover how to change the world.

Michael is always looking for the stories that matter and delivers on what he see's as needed information for all of us. Together we can have the change that we all seek.

Jim Marshall

Every once in a while in our world, we see certain visionaries born. This is a person people should watch and try to understand the vision they are promoting to us. I truly feel that Jim is one of the visionaries I talk about. The Septemics book gives us a glimpse of the vision Jim offers us. "An introductory text on a new subject."I can say that this is a very. Interesting topic, and Jim made sure I understood what Septemics was outlining. Once I saw the way he laid out measuring each level by category, I was blown away. Jim says, "This book is a comprehensive analysis of human phenomena."I can't tell you how much this means to our world. This is a very insightful way of looking at life and a very good way to discover who you truly are. My takeaway from this is, Pure genius! Jim Marshall,Author of Septemics: Hierarchies of Human Phenomena,Mr. Marshall is a polymathic intellectual who has has devoted over 50,000 hours to the study and practice of multiple dimensions of human potential and development.

He graduated college with a Bachelor of Science cum laude. While still an undergraduate, he began the study of “alternative” Arts and Sciences which today would be described as Transformational and Holistic. Eventually, he became a professional practitioner and, after 28 years of formal education, had a long career as a Human Development Engineer. Jim has integrated the best aspects of the most advanced techniques on the planet, and expanded their limits by his own Research & Discovery. He has successfully treated and/or trained hundreds of clients over a 40 year career, and is the inventor of Septemics and several consciousness-expanding systems.

Branch Isole

Dead America — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 08:16:00 GMT

Branch Isole

When I was younger, one big television series was Truth or Consequences. I often think back and wonder about the meaning behind this simple phrase. I did not understand the meaning until I was in my mid to late forties. Truth or Consequences came to mind as I spoke with Branch. I had the realization that you need Truth or Consequences to grow. So often, we overlook or ignore the truth; then, we are faced with Consequences.

Branch is very good at understanding the challenges we all face in life. When we seek people for help, it is a good idea to understand the foundation that the person is teaching from. I find that Branch is on a solid foundation to advise on life. We all need someone to help us understand life a little better. You can find the links in our link section to find out more about Branch and what he has to offer.

You will never avoid the Truth or Consequences in life, it is time to face the truth, and your Consequences will change. It all starts with a choice. What will you choose today?

No matter where you are in life, you control your choices. When you understand this, life will begin for you. Find the people you need around you who will support you and encourage you to be your best self.

And remember that excuses will never change the facts or the truth.

Be responsible for yourself!

Sweets Wilson Williams
In this episode, I speak with Dr.Sweets Wilson Williams. The biggest takeaway from this interview would be that life is a struggle when you don't have a purpose. We should look at ourselves often and ask ourselves hard questions that will challenge our understanding of life.

Dr.Williams tells us that we are not born strong, and not one of us has ever been born knowing it all. Many of us suffer in silence and fear because of this. We can reach out for help without feeling weak or vulnerable when we understand this.

Under the link section, you will find a link that will take you to Dr. William's website. When we talk about how to inspire, motivate and empower others, we need a network of people with knowledge.

I hope that you have found value in today's episode.

Sam George

In this episode, I speak with Sam George. Sam is the author of I’ll Get Back to You.

I’ll Get Back to You is the first step in ending the Dyscommunication Crisis.

I had a great time exploring the issue of communication with Sam; we covered so many things that will help people understand the problem with email and other forms of communication in our world today.

The world today is fast-paced, and how we communicate has gotten sloppy. Sam has written an excellent book that walks us through the rough areas of communication. He also gives us some great ways that we can help our emails get seen more! The power Sam has uncovered for us will change how you think about communicating with others.

I hope you find value in our conversation, along with putting Sam's tips to practical use.

Brian Debes

Dead America — Wed, 28 Sep 2022 04:08:00 GMT

Brian Debes

The interview with Brian was a great experience for me. Brian gave us a lot to think about in our own life. It was something about Brian that gave me a sense that we can make anything happen in our lives if we just do it. Coming from a past of being a small person and having people tell you not to try because you might get hurt to a place where people look up to you and seek your expertise; makes Brian is a well-rounded person with a lot of passion for what he does.

I hope you enjoy this great conversation!

A little about Brian

Brian Debes is a martial arts professional and anti-bullying advocate. He is the founder and owner of 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu Beaumont, a martial arts school developed by renowned instructor Eddie Bravo,where he coaches children and adults to overcome obstacles like shyness, anxiety, and bullying. Through the philosophies and practices found in Jiu-Jitsu, Debes instills confidence and self-esteem, preparing students with the know-how and strategies to defend themselves mentally, emotionally, and physically.

After enduring relentless childhood bullying for his small stature and physical disability, which limits his motor skills, Brian pushed through the restrictive beliefs of others, including his family, who adamantly discouraged physical activity for fear of injury or failure, and pursued his childhood dream --Jiu-Jitsu. Never sharing his disability with peers to avoid labels and preferable treatment, Brian trained hard and flourished, mentally and physically. His success fueled him to build his own business, and today he uses his experience to show others that anything is possible, despite the opinions and confinements of others.

Through martial arts and his teaching of healthy habits, Brian has helped improve the lives of thousands of students. As a competitor, in 2013, Brian was listed as 10th Planet’s competitor of the year and was rated #1 adult grappler in North America by Ranked/NAGA. In addition, he has worked with several A-list celebrities and UFC fighters.

Sam Mitchell
In this episode, I spoke with Sam Mitchell; I learned what many of us need to know. It hit me like a ton of bricks when I asked Sam for his call to action for our listeners. His response to this question was quick and poignant! I consciously looked at the times when I did not understand a situation and gave it that god-awful stare. I never gave it a thought; I just kept doing what I was doing while thinking to myself, "Problems!" This was when I knew I still had problems with this type of behavior. I think we all do this unknowingly as we traverse our day. Let's take some time and reflect on how we see others in their time of trouble.

I learned in this conversation that I need to understand people in a much better, more educated way. I thought I understood what Autism was, but I found out I had very little knowledge of what Autism is.

We all see problems when someone is having what appears to us as a meltdown right in front of us. I never considered what was happening right before me as a sensory issue. This is the hit you like a ton of bricks moment.We all need to educate ourselves about others and the needs that surround each of us every day.

The power of education is critical. Let's educate ourselves about others!

JEFF ABRAHAM

Dead America — Wed, 14 Sep 2022 04:01:00 GMT

Jeff Abraham

The best way I can describe this conversation would be, "Passion Packed!" As I found in Jeff Abraham, it is not often in our world we see passion. You can feel the level of concern that Jeff has for our world and the people he serves. Jeff's background and expertise in pharmaceuticals taught us a lot from this packed conversation.

When Jeff started talking, I could tell he was more interested in his service and message than in selling you a product. The obvious here would be that the products Jeff sells sell themselves.

This was a genuine conversation that is sure to help change our world in a small way; however, it could be life-changing to the individuals we might impact with our discussion.

I hope you find this conversation helpful and that it might have a slight impact on your future.

Jennifer Peavey - Natural Reflectors

Dead America — Tue, 19 Jul 2022 04:34:00 GMT

Natural Reflectors explores the idea of how can we instill in our actions a mindset of intentional reflection taken from the power of nature’s cycles. We can look to nature for inspiration, but like any other new challenge, creating your own process can feel awkward. With practice, we can make it our approach to everything. We can shift our mindset, play the long game, and become natural reflectors. Artist’s Statement Life can be complex even in the best of times and in the details of the complexity, the beauty of bigger picture can be lost. While each person’s experience is unique, there are similarities, like relationships, pain, and happiness. Discovering those similarities often can bring one hope and help one to see how layers of experience ultimately create a beautiful life. Each piece of my thread art creates a unique form from layers of intricate geometric patterns. Move-in closer to look at the details and maybe even follow the path of a thread or two. Move further away to realize the essence of the work. Bio: https://www.jenniferpeavey.com/author... Email is jennifer.theblacklab@gmail.com LinkedIn is: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenniferp...

Ted Hampton - Pitch Me

Dead America — Wed, 13 Jul 2022 04:00:00 GMT

Ted Hampton was born and raised in Southern California, and had an early interest in businesses that were not the run of the mill. ?
In his own words: When the Bellagio Casino was being built, I moved to Las Vegas to open up a restaurant, where I worked until I decided to start my own food delivery company. During this time, I learned so much about people and building valuable relationships.?
All this prompted me to want to help other entrepreneurs, and after watching copious amounts of TV shows, I thought I should start pitching other budding entrepreneurs to help them build their business.?
What I didn’t expect, is how intimate these relationships could be. Sometimes, I’m asking people to open up about painful experiences, and fortunately for me I was built, through my own near-death experiences, to know how to talk to people in a way that matters. ?
This is my second chapter in life and, like everybody else, I’m not sure where this will lead, but I ‘m just thankful to have the opportunity to do it.

Eric Bedell - Rediscovering life

Dead America — Tue, 07 Jun 2022 07:02:00 GMT

I assist people in generating greater self-awareness, self-acknowledgment and self-acceptance. I coach clients to observe, welcome, and integrate all parts of themselves into their ideal visions. This results in richer life experiences, stronger leadership, and resourcefulness to turn in any obstacle into opportunity

I've spent the majority of my life living through experiences that have broken me down along the way; a multi-year battle with disordered eating and negative self image, failures to approach the world in ways that were best for myself, and an upending of who I was from a collapsed marriage. Once the lessons and wisdom from these experiences were integrated into my conscious worldview, they became mechanisms for helping others achieve the balance, peace, and clarity of direction that I discovered for myself.

I was legit saved by coaching, and became dedicated to and obsessed with sharing the tools and exercises that I learned. By adding ICF-accredited Coach training to my certified personal training background, and undergrad work in psychology and sociology, I was inspired to offer others what I believe to be the most incredible medicine of the self. Those that have been through a coaching process with me often admit that life is changed afterwards; fear to move forward subsides and is replaced by the courage to go after whatever they seek.

Rachel Freeman

Dead America — Wed, 13 Apr 2022 07:15:00 GMT

Rachel Freeman In an industry based heavily on aesthetics, I began to create and perpetuate an unhealthy image of myself. After undergrad and losing enough weight to resemble my 6th-grade frame, I faced my first major professional challenge. Ultimately, I had to either give up my dream of being a performer or live to tell about it. In the process, I learned to take the challenges I faced and turn them into strengths by motivating others who may be dealing with similar issues. Unhealthy and at a crossroads by my mid-20’s, I wrote a motivational piece through poetry. Although stressful at times, and still struggling daily with tantalizing old habits, I wanted to prove that I am more than my disease. Currently, I am writing a series of children’s books on tough subjects, including: cancer, separation, depression, body image, and disability awareness. This series is to help children learn strategies to cope and help them better understand the interconnectedness of the human spirit, no matter the age. If only this was around during the latch key kid era! I am a special education teacher by profession, with a focus on social and emotional learning. Personal family traumas, internal fights around recovery, and a challenging yet rewarding career path have provided me a unique story to share, advice worth listening to, and a personality that resonates with a television show binger (pun intended)!

Dead America — Wed, 09 Mar 2022 07:30:00 GMT

I have a new book coming out on August 24th, 2021 “The Peacemaker's Path: Multifaith Reflections to Deepen Your Spirituality” Now more than ever, people are painfully divided politically, religiously, and culturally. And yet, there is a commonality in our faith traditions that can help us turn away from polarization and create a greater sense of community in which our differences are honored. The Peacemaker's Path brings together wisdom from the world's major religious traditions, including Bahá'í, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Native American spiritualities, Sikhism, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism, showing that we have much more in common than what divides us. Through daily readings that explore the tenets, teachings, writings, and prayers of these diverse faith traditions, you will gain new insight, understanding, and connection with people from different religious backgrounds. Each day offers a reflection, scripture passages from the world's religions, questions to contemplate, a call to action, and a closing prayer. May we realize the tremendous importance of building bridges of peace in our own lives, communities, and world. Loving our friends is easy; loving the "other" will bring shalom. Before I went into the ministry, I was a professional actor performing in over 50 musicals and dramas. My novel "Blurring the Lines " tells of my experience in the entertainment business in Los Angeles, California. The theme running through the book is "What Are You Willing to Sell Your Soul For?" I have a Degree in Speech and Theater from Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana, and a Master of Divinity degree from Christian Theological Seminary, Indianapolis, Indiana. I have been a leader in Interfaith ministries for over 35 years. I have helped create four interfaith organizations, including the Carmel Interfaith Alliance and the Indiana Multifaith Network. https://jerryzehr.com/ (https://jerryzehr.com/) https://www.facebook.com/jerry.zehr (https://www.facebook.com/jerry.zehr) https://twitter.com/jerryzehr (https://twitter.com/jerryzehr) https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerryzehr/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerryzehr/) https://www.instagram.com/jerryzehr/ (https://www.instagram.com/jerryzehr/) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq4oMHKZY3JuoQr88Goyz_Q (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq4oMHKZY3JuoQr88Goyz_Q) This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: AdBarker - https://adbarker.com/privacy Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

Correction of netflix program - Ancient Aliens Growing up with dyslexia, Karl de Leeuw struggled. When his daughter was diagnosed as dyslexic, he feared for her future. Karl studied over many years with leading experts in the world in the subjects of dyslexia, alternative health, nutrition, and spiritual awakening. These studies took him to the United States, United Kingdom, Poland, Egypt, Israel, India, and Nepal. Karl’s research helped to understand that rather than viewing dyslexia as a curse needing correction, it could be seen as a gift providing distinct and real mental advantages. This exciting message of hope resulted in his first book, The Dyslexia Code. Dyslexia is not something to “suffer” from, this book proposes, but the basis for real, natural-born creativity and entrepreneurship. As part of his investigations, Karl also came to appreciate the vital role that correct nutrition has on our physical and mental health, as well as on how long we live. The fruits of his findings are contained within his book, The Healthspring Code.

Lois Hollis

Dead America — Wed, 29 Dec 2021 08:00:00 GMT

Lois Hollis Lois moved to Sedona, Arizona where she uncovered shame/guilt secrets, her ability to write Light Language Poetry, and discovered the doctor who helped restore her health. Why I choose shame and guiltfor study?Shame and guilt reinforce each other to produce negative emotions such as anger, depression, anxiety, addictions, traumas, etc. They infiltrate our emotions with stealth precision that causes our struggles from low confidence to suicide. Knowledge is the best prevention to stop shame and guilt from destroying our lives. Our lack of knowledge and their secrecy gives them power over us. As an educator, counselor, and filmmaker, I expose the shame and guilt secrets so we can identify, release, and avoid them. We will change our traditional shame/guilt culture to resolve the fear that stops us and the mental health crisis. Lois’ life was notalways happy.Lois Hollis was born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1943. She earned her RN from St. Joseph Hospital and achieved her BSN from the University of Pennsylvania. For thirty years, she gained experience as a nurse in open-heart surgery, neurosurgery, gastroenterology, and nephrology. However, she spent most of her career in nephrology, the treatment of kidney disorders. She used her talents in research, teaching, and consulting to help establish one of the first kidney hemodialysis units in the United States at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. Lois taught hospital staff, physicals, and nurses how to care for hemodialysis patients both in the hospital and at home. After seven years of an intense working schedule, Lois needed change. She retired to consulting and eventually married. Although she lost three pregnancies, she gave birth to three girls. She states, “God gave me three beautiful girls.” Despite her many accomplishments, her abusive childhood traumas began to outweigh her vivacious lifestyle. She succumbed to guilt-ridden depression, heart and liver disease, 30 years of migraine headaches, and structural deformities. Her physicians told her that she could not live past 50years. After ten years of unsuccessful therapies with traditional medical and psychological professions, she, with great sadness, turned to holistic health. Lois soon discovered that her emotional and physical health intricately weave themselves to produce health or disease. She could not remember her childhood, but soon, she was shocked to learn that her abusive childhood left many scars. She was diagnosed with brain traumas, fractured jaw, broken neck, and congenital heart disease. Since brain traumas cause increased sensitivity to sunlight, she understood why there was a time she was unable to be in the daylight. Her health improved with holistic remedies and emotional counseling to lessen her depression. She no longer thought suicide was her only option but remained despondent. Her poor health still left her with a short life span. Lois innately knew God had plans for her and there was a way for her to have vibrant health. God answered her prayers. She had several spiritual experiences that gave her the energy and wisdom to find more ways to heal. First, she discovered that holistic and chiropractor doctors had different ways of healing. She moved across the country to be with a chiropractor who followed the original palmer method. He realigned her body from her many childhood fractures. She also decided to talk with her emotions instead of about them to therapists. Lois soon learned from her emotions that shame/guilt distorts our biological systems and creates emotional and physical illnesses. Applying the release of shame and guilt from her life, she no longer had lingering depression. Her vitality soared. People noticed. They, too, wanted to do what she was doing. And they did. In fact, Lois was so busy she had to write a book to help others who came to her. She now recognized that shame and guilt were the main offenders of health and...

Felipe Blue

Dead America — Wed, 07 Jul 2021 09:00:00 GMT

About Felipe BlueI am empathic, genuine, open, and flexible. I respect my supervisees as persons and as developing professionals and am sensitive to individual differences such as gender, race, and ethnicity. I am also comfortable with the authority and evaluative functions inherent in the supervisor role and give clear and frequent indications of my evaluation of the counselor's performance. I also have a sense of humor which helps both the supervisees and I get through rough spots in our work together and achieve a healthy perspective on our work and the effect it has on clients. Such personal traits and relationship factors that I possess are considered as significant as technical prowess in supervision. In terms of professional characteristics such as roles and skills, I am a knowledgeable and competent professional and can see myself as being the same in any role I take with an organization. I have extensive training and wide experience in counseling, which has helped me achieve a broad perspective of the field. I can effectively employ a variety of supervision interventions and deliberately choose from these interventions based on my assessment of a supervisee's learning needs, learning style, and personal characteristics. I seek ongoing growth in counseling and supervision through continuing education activities, self-evaluation, and feedback from supervisees, clients, other supervisors, and colleagues. I also have the professional skills of a good teacher and a good consultant. In fact, I am able to function effectively in the roles of teacher, counselor, and consultant, making informed choices about which role to employ at any given time with a particular supervisee. I believe I have a wealth of knowledge and experience to properly have a good practicum experience at your work site. I affirm that I will be attuned to the needs of any organization and will be an asset to it, the clients, and the other employees within it. In today's episode, we speak with Felipe Blue. Some of the things that we discuss include Felipe Blue's introduction. Changing your narrative is what Felipe Blue is about. We speak about more than therapy, filling in the gaps based on what I am what I perceive. A lot of people fall through the cracks. Where there is a will, there is a way we find out what made Felipe say. I don't need this anymore. We speak about smoking weed soaked in formaldehyde. We speak about a time in our lives when we don't remember many areas of our life. We speak about finding what you want out of your troubles. We speak about what made us get into drugs and experimentation. We hear how important it is to understand how to dial 911 for help when there's an emergency. We speak about being raised by the streets and how death can change you. When you find out that, yes, smoking marijuana while you drive is considered a DUI. We discuss how any drug or alcohol or influence on the brain is mind-altering. We talk about the influence our culture has on us. We speak about what the military can do for a person in trouble. We also speak about the need for education. We hear how being on a submarine takes a certain type of person. We talked about so much in this interview that it is so influential.

My education was in filmmaking. But around 2010, I started getting involved with intellectual events.

My name is William Jackson, I I'm a health psychologist and a former Buddhist monk. And what that sort of means is, as a health psychologist, I help often people who have both a chronic illness and something that they're dealing with psychologically. And I found that sort of niche for myself, after being a Buddhist monk and deciding I was going to take the robes off, I wanted to find a way that I could utilize what I had learned in meditation to help people. And it just so happens that mindfulness has found a niche in the chronic pain community, and then sort of expanded into the rest of the medical community from there. So that's what sort of brought me into doing the work that I'm doing now. And, you know, I'm sure we'll get into it a little bit later. But there's certain types of practices and certain structures of courses and learning meditation that are more helpful than others. And I've sort of veered in the direction of these more comprehensive meditation programs. Ed Watters 04:10 Right off when I saw you on Poddit, I saw that you were a former Buddhist monk. Yes, that just fascinates me. Could you walk us through? What made you become a Buddhist monk? And then why would you decide to walk away from that lifestyle? Dr. William Jackson 04:30 Sure. Yeah. So before I became a monk, I was actually an actor. So I started in my junior year of high school acting because I wasn't doing so good academically in my public high school, and, you know, getting into a little bit of trouble here and there. But I had one teacher who saw me do a bunch of impressions and characters and he really encouraged me...

It can change hearts. It can change minds. It can change the world. Stories change lives. And it takes you to help get out there and tell your story. So you can impact make a difference. Our guest today does just that. He went from hiding himself to really opening up and helping others find themselves and change the world. We're going to talk with Josh Cary today, the co-founder of PodMax. Let's get right into this great interview. To overcome, you must educate. Educate not only yourself but educate anyone seeking to learn. We are all Dead America. We can all learn something. To learn. We must challenge what we already understand. The way we do that is through conversation. Sometimes we have conversations with others. However, some of the best conversations happen with ourselves. Reach Out and challenge yourself. Let's dive in and learn something right now. Today we have Josh Cary with us. He is the host of The Hidden Entrepreneur. Josh, could you please introduce yourself? Tell people who you are, what you do, and how you got to where you are today, please? Josh Cary 03:06 I absolutely will. Thanks. By the way, Ed, for inviting me on Dead America. I'm already a fan. I love it all. So long story short, today, I am, like you said I'm the hidden entrepreneur. And that's because I spent 40 years hiding. I showed up in every situation, hiding my true self, my true talent, and everything that I was actually capable of achieving. I did that because I was so fearful of rocking the boat, and I didn't want to come across like I was so capable and powerful. Because then what might happen, you might retaliate if you felt a little insecure about what you're capable of. Right? Because if I'm just inadvertently doing my thing, coming up with something wonderful, powerful, you know, quite quite great. Something certainly in my wheelhouse. It might make you feel insecure. And if you retaliated, I felt growing up that I didn't have the strength or ability to defend against that. So I just avoided it altogether. Now what was so difficult was behind closed doors, what caused so much angst, anger, depression, dare I say jealousy was because every moment of every day I knew what I was capable of doing. So that that whole disconnect just created this, this whole miserable person. Now cut to today, I'm the proud father. I have two adoring children, a seven-year old daughter, a five-year-old son, who early on in their young lives. I realized that I see what's happening here. I'm the child in this circle. I'm the one throwing the tantrum. And they're looking at me like, you got to do something about that. And I made that immediate case to do just that. And I knew that I didn't want to continue down that path. Because if I did, and they grew up with that kind of father, how is that going to wind up for them? Right? We know that outcome. So

But how many of us truly understand how to protect and dispose of our information properly? Our next guest, Paul, is going to help us understand that just a little bit better. We need to understand the technological world that we live in. And we need people like Paul to help us figure out these data security issues and fill the void. Let's not waste any time and get into this terrific interview with Paul Katzoff. To overcome, you must educate. Educate not only yourself but educate anyone seeking to learn. We are all Dead America. We can all learn something. To learn. We must challenge what we already understand. The way we do that is through conversation. Sometimes we have conversations with others. However, some of the best conversations happen with ourselves. Reach Out and challenge yourself. Let's dive in and learn something right now. Today, we have Paul Katzoff with us. He is the CEO of White Canyon Software. Paul, let's start off with letting people know who Paul Katzoff is. And how did you become the CEO of white Canyon software? Paul Katzoff 03:03 Ed, pleasure to be here. Pleasure to be on Dead America. Thank you for having me. First off, I've been the CEO of White Canyon Software for three years. As far as my education goes, I have an undergraduate from BYU Hawaii, and then also my MBA from Utah State. As far as it How did I get to this position? I think it goes to a lot of work. But also, you know, working for a small company, I have the right educational background, but also successful in the sales area, the support area, you know, running different teams, things like that. So when the opening came up, they offered it to me, and like anyone else out there, I happily jumped at the chance. Ed Watters 03:51 Of course, you know, it's unique, you started from the bottom, and you kind of went up through the ranks. And that's a great way to learn the details of the company. When you got out of college, I assume you didn't expect just to jump into a CEO role. Paul Katzoff 04:14 Right. And I think sometimes in the MBA program, you kind of hope that happened to you. And looking back, I think you realize just the amount of information you have to learn post-college, you know, college is great. It gives you a great framework. It gives you a great understanding of business. But when you get into the real world and working day to day and how business happens between different companies. It's a lot to pick up. So yeah, I started off at the bottom. There was a little bit of humility to take a technical support role, but that was back in "08" February "08", right after the big crash. So I was happy with anything. Took the technical support role, and I decided to actually apply everything I learned in my MBA program into that role, and what happened is I was successful; I was organized. I saw the big picture. And I got offered the support manager role, probably nine months later, a year later, and moved into that role. And then once again, I can apply those principles I learned in the MBA program to that position. And it was really fun to kind of see the real-world real world application come into play to me; that's where the education so...

To do that. You really have to get in tune with yourself. Sometimes, We need help doing that. Our next guest, Erin, is going to help us do exactly that. So let's not waste any time and get into this episode of the Dead America podcast. Ed Watters 00:35 To overcome, you must educate. Educate not only yourself but educate anyone seeking to learn. We are all Dead America. We can all learn something. To learn, we must challenge what we already understand. The way we do that is through conversation. Sometimes we have conversations with others. However, some of the best conversations happen with ourselves. Reach Out and challenge yourself. Let's dive in and learn something right now. Ed Watters 02:33 And today, we have a special treat for you. We are with Erin McCullough. She is a thought leader and a spiritual advisor. Erin, could you please introduce yourself and let people know what you do and how you got to where you are today? Erin McCullough 02:51 Well, first, I want to say thanks for having me. And it's super important to have these platforms so that we can talk about the things that I think are the most important that nobody talks about, or very few people talk about. So thank you for having me. And thank you for having a platform for people to learn about this life and what's really going on. So as I mentioned, I am a, you know, it's the labels that kill me. I am a thought leader and a spiritual advisor. I am a coach, a mentor. I work typically with entrepreneurs because I have been one for 20 years. And I've been consulting businesses and business owners for about 16 years. And most people would not put that together business and spirituality. But the reality is, as much as we like to be separate from our business and our personal lives, they're intertwined all the time. That's just who we are as human beings, and there's no way to do that different. And the reason that I got to this place is because I had a business that I sold a couple of years ago that was very successful and had a lot of moving parts, lots of clients, hundreds of clients, lots of employees. And my experience of running that business was one of stress, anxiety, worry. I was constantly in stress over clients, employees, beholden to all those things, and I really couldn't take it anymore. Basically, I just was so stressed out. Prior to that, I have had an anxiety disorder years before...

Dr. Bhatta is a surgeon, an inventor, an author, and so much more. But what we talked about with Dr. Bhatta was a personal side of Dr. Bhatta. His willingness to sit down and teach us all about what he's learned about the inner silence and developing skills to calm yourself under any situation. It was a pleasure to talk with Dr. Bhatta. Let's not waste any more time and get into this great interview. To overcome, you must educate. Educate not only yourself but educate anyone seeking to learn. We are all Dead America. We can all learn something. To learn, we must challenge what we already understand. The way we do that is through conversation. Sometimes we have conversations with others. However, some of the best conversations happen with ourselves. Reach Out and challenge yourself. Let's dive in and learn something right now. Today, we have Dr. Krishna Bhatta with us. He is a surgeon, an author, and an inventor, a fabulous person to talk with. Let's get right into it. Ed Watters 02:59 Dr. Bhatta, could you please introduce yourself and let our audience know what you do and how you became who you are today? Dr. Krishna Bhatta 03:09 Ed, thanks for having me on your show. And it's a great pleasure to be beginning of the new year. So a belated Happy New Year to you and to your audience. I'm a urologist by profession. I've had a career in medicine and also parallel meditation, which is not a career but for my personal growth. And now I'm willing to share and I have started sharing with people my experience and my growth in that area. Dr. Krishna Bhatta 03:47 Looking into you, you have had a fascinating life. And you've experienced so much. What we're going to talk a little bit about today is finding yourself through intermittent silence, the power of inner theater, also some power of inner conversation, which I really love. Could we start with intermittent silence and let our audience know what exactly is intermittent silence? Dr. Krishna Bhatta 04:22 Ed, Let's start with two questions for the new year. One is, who controls what you do? And the second one is do you understand that? That's good to hear. Many people or many of us just do things but we don't know who is in control. Sometimes it's our belief systems, sometimes it's our customs that we grow, and sometimes it's just social norms that dictate what we do. So, getting the control in your hands is more important for whatever you do. Even if it is a glass of water or a cup of coffee, you are not doing it just because you have done every day, you do it because you actively want that coffee. And it's in your control we can say no to. And the second one is spending time with...

Latin is mostly absent from the curriculum at any level of our education system, but it ought to be brought back, especially in the early grades. The only place that Latin shows up in school is when Latin and Greek roots are covered, as a way of building vocabulary. But I can tell you that memorizing roots off a list is not the best way to get these extremely useful and productive words into a student’s head. If you study Latin vocabulary in the context of Latin grammar—that is, if you study Latin—you go deep into English grammar, and this is something that isn’t really taught these days. But you need grammar to make sense out of words. You have to put words together in a certain way, or they don’t mean what you want them to. Studying Latin heightens your awareness of how words work together to make meaning. In fact, studying Latin gives you a foundation that you can build all sorts of academic success on. A person who has built a solid foundation in the basics of Latin in elementary school: * Will never think that a new word is too complicated to handle. * Will be able to read difficult texts in English (I'm talking especially about the classics) and absorb the author’s meaning. * Will understand the concept that languages have different ways of getting meaning across, which means that the Latin student will be able to enjoy later experiences with foreign languages in high school or college or life. * And perhaps most confidence-building of all, will be able to recognize when it is the speaker or the writer that is at fault and not their ability to understand. I've identified three different groups to reach out to first: people who for some reason or other have always wanted to learn Latin, parents who are not too happy with the education their child is receiving in public school, and people who already studied Latin but didn't get on top of the material the first time around and want a chance to really understand it. I have three free reports (corresponding to these three groups), and I'd be happy to share any or all of them with you. They go deeper into why Latin is worth studying. The titles are: https://www.latinforlife.com/whyyouareright (* Why You Are Absolutely Right to Want to Learn Latin) https://www.latinforlife.com/fiveways (* Five Ways Your Child Is Being Shortchanged at School--and What You Can Do About It) * Why You Don't Remember Any of the Latin You Learned All Those Years Ago (and What You Can Do About It) ---------------------------------------------------- Transcript https://www.mediafire.com/file/c1yp8gitu2jtlbe/Kay_Neal_Transcript.docx/file (Download) Kay Neal SUMMARY KEYWORDS Latin, people, English, study, read, sentence, podcast, language, called, wrote, grammar, book, long, Spanish, kay, endings, learn, thought, curriculum, action SPEAKERS Ed Watters, Kay Neal Ed Watters 00:00 challenging ourselves. That's what Dead America is truly about. On today's episode, we do just that. We dive deep into learning. And we talk to an individual that wants to promote learning Latin.

https://www.deadamerica.website (https://www.deadamerica.website) SUMMARY KEYWORDS life, plan, America, podcast, identify, watters, dead, year, change, season, people, learn, feel, enjoy, challenge, enlightening, understand, slow, reevaluate, negative SPEAKERS Ed Watters Ed Watters 00:00 It's a new year. It's a new day. And it's a new dawn. A new beginning. It's always fresh at the start of a new year. Many of us saw 2020 in a negative light. I kind of look at it as a year of growth, a year of understanding, and a year of finding out who you really are. Let's get into this week's episode of Dead America. To overcome, you must educate. Educate not only yourself but educate anyone seeking to learn. We are all Dead America, we can all learn something. To learn, we must challenge what we already understand. The way we do that is through conversation. Sometimes we have conversations with others. However, some of the best conversations happen with ourselves. Reach Out and challenge yourself. Let's dive in and learn something right now. I am super excited for 2021. I have not felt this good coming into a year in many years. I'm starting the new year off seeing things in a new light. I've had plans for a few years to change who and what I am. And to develop the skills that I need to change my personal situation. We all have the power to do that. We all have the power to see positive or negative. The influences that we surround ourselves really matter. I look very hard for influences that can enhance me, to change me, to help me identify who I truly am, and not what somebody else thinks I might be. 2021 will be a great year. I know that my attitude going into the new year is a good attitude. So I can make sure I feel comfortable. I can understand who I am a little better by slowing down. A lot of us want to rush things in life. Baby steps, I always encourage people to slow down and enjoy life. Life is short, so we have to enjoy as much of it as we can. When we put too much pressure on ourselves, life is not enjoyable. So that's going to age us, that's going to make us feel calloused in many ways. Slow down. Look around you, identify who you are, and what you really want in life, and then go get it. It's up to you to find and develop the skills that you need to change your life situation. I've been in many situations in my life I've had to recover from, I've had to reevaluate what I was doing. It's critical that we understand where we are in life at all times. Always identifying our past to control our future. It's not easy to do. But when we can control the mind, it's going to help us a lot. So let's get into our new season of Dead America, we have a new season in the works. We've already recorded a couple shows, and we're super excited about the new changes that are coming to Dead America podcast. We've put a lot into Dead America in the last year, because we believe in who we are, and we believe that we can achieve what we set out to achieve. It might not go as we planned. But we still have our eye on the prize. And we are still pushing forward to our ultimate goal. How we get there? Well, that plan has to fluctuate, you have to be able to bend a little bit with what is going on in your life. Just remember, you want to be someplace later in life. So you've got to take the steps to plan out your future. It might not go as you plan. But it sure is nice to have a plan. Along with a good plan, you need a good support system. So find the people that you need around you. Those that will support you in your time of need, not pity you and not tell you what you want to hear. But those that have strength themselves, that will tell you what you need to hear, the things that will make you better in life. That's the challenge my friends, to challenge yourself to be told you need to be better by somebody else. That's not always easy. It's not always easy to take. But sometimes, it's great to listen to somebody else about...

Thank you for a wonderful 2020

SUMMARY KEYWORDS interview, season, episode, sat, jacqueline, tracey, spoke, podcast, ransomware, book, highly, dustin, dead, life, recommend, greg, america, differences, adversity, history SPEAKERS Ed Watters Ed Watters 00:03 Well, here it is. The final episode of Dead America for season four, and the year 2020, which I know a lot of us are happy to see, disappear into history. A lot has happened in the year 2020. And if I could sum it all up in one word, it would be unprecedented. Let's not waste any more time and get into this final episode of Season Four. Ed Watters 00:52 To overcome, you must educate. Educate not only yourself, but educate anyone seeking to learn. We are all Dead America. We can all learn something. To learn. We must challenge what we already understand. The way we do that is through conversation. Sometimes we have conversations with others. However, some of the best conversations happen with ourselves. Reach Out and challenge yourself. Let's dive in and learn something right now. The year 2020 sure has been a whirlwind for a lot of people. It has brought so much uncertainty, along with so many unfamiliar things that most of us have never encountered before. Despite the heavy losses, the heavy differences and just the unbalance in our norm. It's always good to take a look back to see how far you've actually come. And through all of the negative that happened in 2020. We can see there has been positive in our life. Dead America podcast has been struggling for some time to get a foothold in 2020. I think we got our foothold. I really think we found our groove. And we really found our direction. In total. This year, we've done 35 episodes, including this one. 16 of those episodes, were fabulous interviews with some remarkable people that we will be covering in this episode. We saw tremendous growth in 2020 our biggest growth area, it was India, that was very impressive to us. We want to say thank you to India, for that impressive growth in our listenership in India. We also saw a wide variety of listenership growth throughout the world. It's very humbling. And we want to say thank you to the listeners also to the guests that appeared on the Dead America podcast. Without you guys, there isn't a podcast, and we recognize that. When 2020 started for us on the Dead America podcast, we were still presenting you with season two. With the first 11 episodes, we were covering history and historical figures. I highly recommend you take the time and listen to each and every one of those episodes. They have a meaning and a message behind them. The first interview of 2020 was with Andy Hoosier from the Voice of Reason. Me and Andy sat down for an hour, and we spoke about the differences between radio and podcasting. We learned quite a bit in this episode from Andy about the regulations involved in radio, and why it is so difficult for radio to be able to just get their message straight out to us. And the benefits of you having a podcast, which seems to be the best form of free speech that we have available to us. Our second interview of 2020 was with Tracey Maxfield. Tracey is a returning guest on the Dead America podcast. And we sat down with Tracey and discussed her new podcast along with the new course that Tracey put out to help people in their growth. It's always exciting when we sit down with Tracey Maxfield. Ed Watters 06:15 Our next interview came June 10th with Julia Kristina, it was a delight talking with Julia. We sat down and talked about boundaries, it's so important for people to understand, you've got to set boundaries. I highly recommend going back and listening to these interviews. Each and every interview that we had, was meant to help you in some way. Our next interview was on June 17th with Terry Davies. We learn a lot in this interview with Terry, about the differences in cultures and so much more. Then we jumped in with James...

I’m Alec. I’m obsessed with helping people get clarity.I used to believe that I did not have the willpower or motivation to make big life changes. Then I learned the truth: there are no big life changes. Whether it's been breaking into a new career, overcoming chronic fatigue, moving to a foreign country for my wife's career, or troubleshooting my kids' tantrums, I've learned that change is something I create and maintain with small, daily actions. If a goal or dream looks big, that's only because I haven't yet seen the small steps that will get me there. Now I'm obsessed with clarity. I love diving into new projects or even new disciplines. I love breaking down how they work, how I can measure success, and how I can design small, simple, and clear steps towards big changes. I've also spent a lot of time practicing how to help others learn and grow past their obstacles. With a masters in Instructional Psychology and Technology, crisis counseling experience, and years of coaching, I'm ready to help you turn overwhelming life changes into simple, daily habits.

Sometimes the habits that we form are not good habits. And later in life, we come to a point where we want to change our habits. Well, changing habits can get very difficult. And sometimes we need help finding that right mix to change us. Our guest today, Alec Sorenson from easier habits.com is here just to do that with us. Let's talk a little bit about changing our habits. with Alec, let's get into this. To overcome, you must educate. Educate not only yourself, but educate anyone seeking to learn. We are all dead America. We can all learn something. To learn. We must challenge what we already understand. The way we do that is through conversation. Sometimes we have conversations with others. However, some of the best conversations happen with ourselves. Reach Out and challenge yourself. Let's dive in and learn something right now. Alec, could you please introduce yourself and let our listeners know a little bit about you and your background? Alec Sorensen 01:53 Sure, I'm a lifestyle design coach for work from home dads. And what that means is I help people break down big life changes that they want to make into small manageable habits that can build up over time, so they can make those changes with confidence. I've certainly experienced lots of big life changes in my own life I've I graduated in 2008 with the big recession and switch from being an English major to a programmer, I went back to school at one point, after I got married, my wife and I decided to switch roles. And I went from being the primary provider to a stay at home dad in the remote mountains of Japan for a little while. And we've come back since then, and done a few more career experiments. Right now we are both working part time, staying with the kids part time so we can have the balance that we're looking for both in our professional lives and in our family. So that's the kind of thing I help other people do as well as breaking into their passions, finding time to do the things that really rejuvenate you, and taking care of your health. Ed Watters 02:59 So what got you thinking about helping people...

But I wonder, how far do we take our thought about how we impact the world? Not many people inspire us to have great thoughts and meaningful conversations on how to change the impact that we have on our world like Dr. Twyla Dell. I have been one, that looked at the issue of climate change as most of us do, “What can I do?” As I looked deeper into this issue, I found that we can do a lot to help save many facets of our world through small changes that we can make in our own lives. All it takes is for us to care! Small things like watching how much we drive and what we drive for. Dr. Twyla Dell helps us understand more about the use of gasoline in our lives. We had a great talk with Dr.Dell about her new book “Fueling Change” the use of gasoline in our lives has become overwhelming and we must look for new ways to help combat this epidemic of gasoline. I had a great time during this interview and we will be asking Dr.Dell back on for another talk about her upcoming book. Enjoy this great interview and help spread the word about the work of Dr.Dell. Twyla Dell is a Kansas City author, an environmental leader, and a fuel transition historian. Having written five environmental books, she is podcasting and blogging on reducing gasoline use. Visit https://fuelingchange.org/ (Fuelingchange.org) to see all of her blogs. Transitioning from gasoline to sustainable energy and Kansas City history are her passions. She worked for the EPA and offered The Environmental Leadership Program for business leaders, teachers, and students in Kansas City, Missouri. Twyla is an experienced speaker. She graduated from Antioch University Graduate School, with a Ph.D. in environmental studies in 2009. Available for speaking engagements, webinars and is a seasoned podcast guest.

I didn't think a lot about much. Nowadays, it's different. Our world is a very precious commodity. I think about a lot. And we need to stand together to protect this precious body we call the earth. Today I sat down with Dr. Twyla Dell, PhD. Twyla worked for the EPA. And she's got a lot of knowledge, extensive background on our environment and fuels. She wrote a book titled fueling change. And that's what we talked to Dr. Dell about today. Every time I get in to my vehicle, I have to think, what am I going to do with the trip that I make today? I live 50 miles outside of Klamath Falls, Oregon. So it's 100 miles round trip, for me to go to the store and do my grocery shopping. It kind of forces me to focus on my needs a little bit more. We talk about that today with Dr. Dell. And it's a fascinating journey that she writes about in her book, I highly recommend you pick up a copy of this book. The history involved within this writing is spectacular. I can't wait for you to read Dr. Dell's book, fueling change. Let's not waste any more time and get into this excellent interview with Dr. Twyla Dell. To overcome, you must educate. Educate not only yourself, but educate anyone seeking to learn. We are all Dead America. We can all learn something. To learn. We must challenge what we already...

The way we do that is through conversation. Sometimes we have conversations with others. However, some of the best conversations happen with ourselves. Reach Out and challenge yourself. And let's dive in and learn something right now. And we are super excited today to have Ja' Quintin means with us today, Ja' Quintin, could you please introduce yourself and tell the people what you do? Ja'Quintin Means 1:09 Oh, yes, I spent two and a half years as a minister in training in the Methodist Church, and also spent a lot of time in high school being a journalist. And that kind of gave me this love for writing. And being a minister gave me a love for history, spirituality and religion and how it works inside of the human mind and how it can be good for us. And sometimes as we know throughout history can be bad for us. And that really was inspired me to be a writer and write the way that I do and about the subjects I've talked about. Ed Watters 1:46 Very interesting. The book we're going to talk today about is called Willie, Willie started out going to have a different title. Could you tell us why you chose Willie, instead of the other title, Ja'Quintin Means 2:02 I grew up learning about the weightless letter, or like I heard of it. It's like this folk tale in the black community. So I've always grown up hearing about the Willie Lynch letter, but I had never listened to it for myself. And then I found that there's so much controversy on if it's being a real document or not. But when I when I actually read that document for myself, it just spoke to me in such a way. And when I looked out at the world around me, and I looked out at my own black community, I could really see the effects of what was detailed in that letter. And I was like, Well, you know, my book would be a lot better off if I could kind of show how these things affect us today in a kind of allegorical historical tale. And that's what inspired me to change the name because initially, it was run boy run. And it was really just inspired about me and my best friend walking through the backwoods of Arkansas. He's dark skinned, I'm very light skinned. And me just thinking of like this bond of two friends that wanted their freedom and wanted to, you know, do whatever it took to get that. And like I said, like, once I once I read the Willie Lynch letter for myself, I just had a completely different perspective. Ed Watters 3:19 History tells a lot, you know, and I looked a little into that Willie Lynch letter myself, because I never heard of it until I ran across your book, and we hooked up for this interview. By going back looking and doing the research, like you obviously have with this book. Do you tie a lot of fiction and historical fact into this book? Ja'Quintin Means 3:48 Yes, I did. There was so many, you know, Arkansas just has a very rich culture in the...

Educate not only yourself, but educate anyone seeking to learn. We are all Dead America, we can all learn something. To learn, we must challenge what we already understand. The way we do that is through conversation. Sometimes we have conversations with others. However, some of the best conversations happen with ourselves. Reach Out and challenge yourself. Let's dive in and learn something right now. Welcome to this episode of Dead America podcast. This is the announcement episode for season four. We're super excited, and we can't wait to share all of the exciting episodes we have for you. Our opening episode Ja' Quintin Means we talk about his new book, Willie, awesome book. And I can't wait for you to pick up a copy and read this exciting book, Willie, let's listen in to just a little bit of our conversation with Ja' Quintin Means. So let's talk about the artwork on the book. To me, the scenario the place in time doesn't actually fit what the cover art suggests. Why did you choose a cover art in that manner in that fashion? Ja'Quintin Means 02:00 Um, I forget the word for it. I think it's called of a an anachronism when you put something out of place in a different time period. So I did that on purpose to kind of show how the things that are going on in the book, of course, it's a historical fiction. But the same thought process is the same situations that we deal with psychologically, are very much alive and well today. And I also wanted that cover to reach out to the younger black community too, because it doesn't necessarily give away what the inside of the book says. So I kind of wanted this wow factor to where, you know, you look at the cover and you kind of like Okay, I see this, you know, Native American Girl, this white girl, these two black kids in the middle of the woods. I What is this about? But then when you read the book, you understand more about the characters and the timeframes and it starts to make a little bit more sense to you. So it's more of like a blending of that the the old times but still modern day thinking like we we would like to believe that we don't think how the slave masters of back then thought or how the slaves back then thought or how the slave catchers and, and the slave drivers of back then thought, but it realistically, we would have the same issues and problems we did today if we did not still think like them. So that was really what I was trying to get across with that cover. Ed Watters 03:27 That was awesome. I hope you enjoyed that. And I can't wait for you to hear that episode. November 4th. Willie, with Ja' Quintin Means, don't miss it. Now, if that wasn't enough for you, on November 11th, we release an episode with Jacqueline Maddison. This young lady is taking the world by storm. She is the owner and editor in chief of the Beverly Hills magazine. Super excited for you to hear that spectacular episode. Let's listen in to just a little bit on Jacqueline Maddison's interview. Jacqueline Maddison 04:08 Everyone's been so caught up and in money and materialism kind of somehow being a definer of success which money may be a part of your destiny and life path. But but it's not necessarily a requirement of the definition of success. Okay. Success is becoming who God created you to be. You know you yourself are...

We podcast for change. This is a passion that will not go away. SUMMARY KEYWORDS challenge, watters, podcast, america, dead, understand, curve balls, educate, world, ed, thrown, reach, understanding, learn, enlightening, listen, curveballs, confusing, siblings, society SPEAKERS Ed Watters Ed Watters Hi, I'm Ed Watters, and you're listening to the Dead America podcast. To overcome, you must educate. Educate not only yourself, but educate anyone seeking to learn. We are all Dead America, we can all learn something. To learn, we must challenge what we already understand. The way we do that, is through conversation. Sometimes we have conversations with others. However, some of the best conversations happen with ourselves. Reach Out and challenge yourself. Let's dive in and learn something right now. The world that we live in, is complex. It's confusing, and it's very demanding. understanding who you are, where you fit in. It's not always easy. Life is a challenge. And when we challenge ourselves, that's when we learn new things. That's what dead America podcast is about. We encourage and we invite you to get involved, not only with us, but with the world around you, the world you live in, to understand it, to challenge it. That's when you live. And that's what dead America is about. We want to challenge not only ourselves, but we want to challenge you, we reach out, we try to identify issues, the real world problems that we all face together. That's what dead America is about. We need your story. That's what we do. We tell stories, through communication, and involvement with one another. We learn challenge yourself, just because you don't know it. Challenge yourself to learn it. Sometimes the world throws curveballs at us, and we just don't know how to handle it. We find ourselves in these awkward positions. So often, I find myself thinking different. being outside of the normal boundaries of society, it's difficult when you find yourself within a group. And the group thinks one thing, but you know, inside your head, this is not right. What do you do, you have to challenge yourself. Sometimes, we have to walk away, even though the surrounding is so familiar, and we've known people places and things for so long. That's when it's the hardest to do what we need to do. When we struggle with the challenge of society, the weight of our peers, our siblings. Understanding how to be ourself in such a confusing world. It's hard to do when those curve balls are thrown at us. Don't react, think Take a moment, pause and relax. We have been challenging ourselves for a long time to understand the why. It's a big question Why? When you ask it, get ready for the answers. They might not be what you want, but that's okay. Seek the answers. seek the truth. And when you know it's truth. Stand firm. But if you're not sure, listen, this is when we can make a difference when we listen to people. understand who they are, what they feel, why they feel that way. Challenge yourself. It will educate you. It was not easy for me to reach out and start talking to people. But that's what it's about challenging yourself, understanding. You're not the only person in the world. There's more to the world. A lot of the times I think I know. And then I have to step back, reevaluate and understand what I really understand and truly know. It's not easy to do, challenging yourself, understanding. You're not always going to be right. But understand, you must challenge yourself and what you believe. That's what we do at Dead America. That's what Dead America is about. We challenge not only ourselves, but we're reaching out and challenging you. Get involved. Understand your fellow man a little bit better. Start talking people. There's a story out there, find it. Find your true destiny. I'm Ed Watters, I'm the host of Dead America podcast. And I truly hope you enjoy the next season of Dead America podcast.

ABOUT DUSTINMEET THE CREATORHowever it isn’t about me, for it is what I can do…FOR YOU. This website was created in order to centralize the content I create, as well as give people a means to contact me directly. Whether you came here to learn about the Modular Degree or Polymath Exercise; You came here for a purpose. It is my hope that I can inspire you to take a polymathic approach to your life. Personally I have always dreamed of becoming an entrepreneur and changemaker. The world has a multitude of areas that it needs leaders with a polymathic mentality, and I hope to fill one of those spots. I aim to give others a pathway to do the same! In my lifetime, “I will be a globally recognized Innovation Polymath. Driven to Innovate technology and ideology”.-Dustin Miller, PolyInnovator, or Innovation PolymathMy StoryGrowing up I always knew that I wanted to be a “businessman”, as I would say as a child. Even as I got older I would go as far to say that I would be a CEO! As the rise of technology changed my perspective my ideas grew wider. I knew that in order to achieve those childhood ambitions I would have to pursue my goals differently.In 2011 I started my first blog, and took my first foreray into real content creation, not just a graphics design hobby. I was relatively consisent, however the quality still lacked its wow factor (Also SEO). Back in 2017 (even a bit earlier) I had started a project called the “United Living Construct”. In my eyes I saw this as my magnum opus, and perhaps decades down the line it will be. The U.L.C. acted as a catalyst for growth, and I voracious (to this day) research knowledge on how to grow a brand. On top of that learning I tried applying that knowledge too, and eventually I thought a personal brand would be more suitable.A personal brand for those who are unaware is another way of saying an online reputation. It is the brand around myself, and what I create. PolyInnovator spawned off of the idea of a PolyULCian, someone of a multi-talented approach to innovation. Both names are just a modern version of a Polymath (think https://www.instagram.com/p/BxkqvAUltAO/ (Leonardo Da Vinci #myhero)).PolyInnovator | Polymath of InnovationI started working a year after I started blogging, and during my work years I always kept trying to do more. I started as a lifeguard, and worked my way into management and instructing. I found that teaching (anything) was something I am natural at doing. I love teaching, and I am quite skilled at it. This didactic lifestyle lead me to be the same way in the content I create as well.My WHY is that I want to create PolyInnovator as a company to change education, and Self-Development. By doing that I will be able to create a worthy platform to create many innovations, and probably most of all the U.L.C. itself as a https://www.seasteading.org/ (seastead). I hope by sharing this with you, that you can gain an understanding of why I truly care about your Self-Education!Finally leading up to today, as that same teaching mentality has been infused with PolyInnovator Academy. An online learning platform, geared towards those who want to pursue their own path. More than just pursue, but to create it even. Creating that path is what inspired the https://polyinnovator.space/modular-degree/ (Modular Degree), a self-learning endeavor made literally for everyone.Made for everyone because the person making it, is the person who will be pursuing it. I just give you the tools! https://polyinnovator.space (https://polyinnovator.space) instagram.com/polyinnovator This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: AdBarker - https://adbarker.com/privacy Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

Dead America — Mon, 03 Aug 2020 12:00:00 GMT

Thank you https://www.MatchMaker.fm (MatchMaker.fm) For hooking us up with Andrew Seaton. For more than four decades, https://awakeningmadesimple.org/the-author/ (Andrew Seaton) delved deeply into educational philosophy and psychology; old wisdom and new science; reports of higher consciousness; and a wide range of personal development, holistic wellness and spiritual awareness practices. As he experienced all the personal ups and downs of his life, Andrew’s working life was quite varied, but mostly in education. He had many different roles in that field, most of them relating to education of the whole person. Eventually, Andrew came to see that in our world we are generally making some deeply flawed assumptions about knowledge and human nature. In 2006, he resigned from a two-year stint in academia in order to focus on unlearning his education and other conditioning, and on awakening the fuller functioning that he had come to see so clearly is possible and desirable. Andrew has recently experienced major changes in his consciousness and way of being in the world. Throughout 2017 and 2018, he was very focused on living the insights and practices he describes in his book Spiritual Awakening Made Simple. During 2018, life had him in a period of relative retreat from the world, and he experienced a flood of dreams about his spiritual awakening and about soon assisting others with awakening. In September of 2018, Andrew’s spiritual awakening began in earnest with a beautiful dream followed by energy flows through his body. https://awakeningmadesimple.org/contact-details/ (https://awakeningmadesimple.org/contact-details/) Through his writings, talks and 1-on-1 support via Skype and Zoom, Andrew now helps others to clear away the mist of the conditioned mind and awaken to their true nature as the peace-filled observing awareness beyond the mind. He speaks to groups, podcasters and radio interviewers about how, contrary to popular belief and experience, spiritual awakening is both natural and achievable.

It all begins with impact. Despite all the presentations I’ve given over my life, I still remember to this day how scared I was to post my first YouTube video. I didn’t look like anything in my workshops or presentations, but I went ahead with this project for one reason. Impact. A wise friend once told me that I couldn’t possibly coach every human being on Earth with the limited time I had in my life, so I needed to go on video to share my message with the world.

Miha Matlievski

Dead America — Wed, 01 Jul 2020 15:00:00 GMT

We had a wonderful talk with Miha Matlievski ( The Fail Coach ) on this episode. -A healthy relationship with failure is a must-have skill for entrepreneurs and leaders - What is the fear of failure and how to overcome it - Building a business is like building a house; you always start with first laying down solid foundations - Wanna speed up your business development? Use leverages! - Trust is the most valuable currency. Learn how to leverage it. Miha has a Podcast Here: https://braindumpbythefailcoach.com/ (https://braindumpbythefailcoach.com/) https://www.fail.coach/ (The Fail Coach! ) One business coach has forged his approach to helping entrepreneurs and business executives by using a monumental personal failure and eventual redemption to help get others where they need to go to find their personal success and fulfillment. At just 18 years old, Miha Matlievski, a Slovenian high school dropout, dreamed of becoming a successful entrepreneur. And he pursued it with a passion, putting in 12 years of hard work that resulted in four successful businesses and a personal net worth of $15M. But in December 2009, an unexpected call from his bank, which had decided to foreclose on his real estate investments, brought his world crashing down around him. That one negative event instigated an avalanche of ruin for him and his businesses, resulting in his four, once-successful companies going bankrupt. https://www.fail.coach LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mihamatlievski/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mihamatlievski/) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/matlievski.miha Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/FailCoach Twitter: https://twitter.com/fail_coach Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/failcoach/ (https://www.instagram.com/failcoach/) Website: www.fail.coach and www.theleverageoftrust.com This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: AdBarker - https://adbarker.com/privacy Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

James Perdue

Dead America — Wed, 24 Jun 2020 15:00:00 GMT

https://professorofperseverance.com/ (https://professorofperseverance.com)? We had a real good talk about Overcoming adversities and so much more on this episode with Dr. James Perdue. We hope this helps you find new hope in any situation you might find yourselves in. On September 11, 1983, James became a quadriplegic, dislocating three vertebra in his neck, from playing a football game. The doctor said, "James, I'm sorry. You'll never walk again and you might be paralyzed from your neck down." Later, the doctor advised his family to place him in a nursing home; he would be too much of a burden for them to take care. Hear how Dr. Perdue worked hard to achieve success as a teacher and coach. He has been awarded Fox 17 Top Teacher of the Week 2005, Teacher of the Year 2002, as well as, Coach of the Year 2006 and 2000. He received the Jo Andrews Award 1995 and the Hal Ramer Award 1991 both for overcoming adversity. Recently, he received his doctorate degree, in May 2011, from Tennessee State University. His demonstration of not giving up and striving through major challenges is apparent. Dr. Perdue knows he can help others pass through to the other side of tragedies to become triumph and become survivor of difficulties. At age sixteen, James grew-up fast when his father died. He played baseball in high school and received a college scholarship. Then, one day, while playing a pick-up football game, James was seriously injured and diagnosed a quadriplegic. He asked the doctor, “How bad is it?” The doctor responded, “Bad enough. You’ll never walk again and possibly not move from the neck down."

The Forefathers Monument ExplainedAt 81 feet tall and 180 tons, it is thought to be the world’s largest solid granite monument. The National Monument to the Forefathers, formerly known as the Pilgrim Monument, commemorates the Mayflower Pilgrims and honors their Christian ideals and values. The ‘matrix of liberty’ combines those ideals and values of Faith, Morality, Law, Education, and Liberty, that when adhered to creates a free society for the people, and by the people. The Monument was commissioned by the Pilgrim Society, built with public funding, and designed by Hammatt Billings. It is located on Allerton Street in Plymouth, Massachusetts and was dedicated on August 1, 1889. The forefathers’ matrix of liberty is the only successful strategy of liberty ever carried out in the history of mankind.

Anne Sullivan

Dead America — Wed, 01 Jan 2020 14:00:00 GMT

https://www.deadamerica.website (https://www.deadamerica.website) Life-changing moment In 1880, Sullivan learned that a commission was coming to investigate the conditions at Tewksbury Almshouse. On the day of their visit, Anne followed them around, waiting for an opportunity to speak. Just as the tour was concluding, she gathered up all of her courage, approached a member of the team of inspectors, and told him that she wanted to go to school. That moment changed her life. On October 7, 1880, Anne Sullivan entered the Perkins Institution. Anne Sullivan's life experience made her very different from the other students at Perkins. At the age of 14, she couldn't read or even write her name. She had never owned a nightgown or hairbrush, and did not know how to thread a needle. While Sullivan had never attended school, she was wise in the ways of the world, having learned a great deal about life, politics and tragedy at Tewksbury, a side of society unknown even to her teachers. Most of the other girls at Perkins were the sheltered daughters of wealthy merchants or prosperous farmers. Unfortunately, many of Sullivan's fellow students ridiculed her because of her ignorance and rough manners. Some of her teachers were particularly unsympathetic and impatient. Perkins experience Anne Sullivan's recollections of her early years at Perkins were mainly of feeling humiliated about her own shortcomings. Her anger and shame fueled a determination to excel in her studies. She was a very bright young woman, and in a very short time she closed the gaps in her academic skills. After the first two years, Sullivan's life at Perkins became easier. She connected with a few teachers who understood how to reach and challenge her. Mrs. Sophia Hopkins, the house mother of her cottage, was especially warm and understanding. Sullivan became like a daughter to her, spending time at her Cape Cod home during school vacations. She had yet another surgery on her eyes, and this time it improved her vision dramatically. At last she could see well enough to read print. Sullivan befriended Laura Bridgman, another remarkable Perkins resident. Fifty years earlier, Bridgman had been the first person who was deafblind to learn language. Sullivan learned the manual alphabet from her, and frequently chatted and read the newspaper to the much older woman. Bridgman could be very demanding, but Sullivan seemed to have more patience with her than many of the other students. Not much has been written about their friendship, but it's tempting to think they shared a special affinity because neither completely fit in with the larger Perkins community. Anne Sullivan learned to excel academically at Perkins but she did not conform. She frequently broke rules; her quick temper and sharp tongue brought her close to expulsion on more than one occasion. She might not have made it to graduation without the intercessions of those few teachers and staff who were close to her. But in June 1886, not only did she graduate, she gave the Valedictory Address. She charged her classmates and herself with these words: "Fellow-graduates: duty bids us go forth into active life. Let us go cheerfully, hopefully and earnestly, and set ourselves to find our especial part. When we have found it, willingly and faithfully perform it…." Just what her "especial part" would be was not at all clear to Sullivan. She had no family to return to, and no qualifications for employment. She feared that she would have to return to Tewksbury. Her joy at graduating was tempered by her fears about the future. Fate intervened in an unexpected way. Opportunity of a lifetime During the summer of 1886, Captain Keller of Alabama wrote to Perkins Director Michael Anagnos, asking him to recommend a teacher for his young daughter Helen, who had been deaf and blind since the age of 19 months. Helen's mother had read about Laura Bridgman's education at Perkins in Charles Dickens' American...

Join us Every weekday morning live on our new show starting regular shows in January. Find us here and subscribe to know when we go live. We would love to have you join the conversation. https://castbox.fm/channel/id2456947 (https://castbox.fm/channel/id2456947) https://www.deadamerica.website (https://www.deadamerica.website) Birth And Family Tubman was born Araminta "Minty" Ross to enslaved parents, Harriet ("Rit") Green and Ben Ross. Rit was owned by Mary Pattison Brodess (and later her son Edward). Ben was held by Anthony Thompson, who became Mary Brodess's second husband, and who ran a large plantation near the Blackwater River in the Madison area of Dorchester County, Maryland. As with many slaves in the United States, neither the exact year nor place of Tubman's birth is known, and historians differ as to the best estimate. Kate Larson records the year as 1822, based on a midwife payment and several other historical documents, including her runaway advertisement,[1] while Jean Humez says "the best current evidence suggests that Tubman was born in 1820, but it might have been a year or two later".[4] Catherine Clinton notes that Tubman reported the year of her birth as 1825, while her death certificate lists 1815 and her gravestone lists 1820.[5] Map of locations in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, and Ontario Map showing key locations in Tubman's life Modesty, Tubman's maternal grandmother, arrived in the United States on a slave ship from Africa; no information is available about her other ancestors.[6] As a child, Tubman was told that she seemed like an Ashanti person because of her character traits, though no evidence exists to confirm or deny this lineage.[7] Her mother Rit (who may have had a white father)[7][8] was a cook for the Brodess family.[4] Her father Ben was a skilled woodsman who managed the timber work on Thompson's plantation.[7] They married around 1808 and, according to court records, had nine children together: Linah, Mariah Ritty, Soph, Robert, Minty (Harriet), Ben, Rachel, Henry, and Moses.[9] Rit struggled to keep her family together as slavery threatened to tear it apart. Edward Brodess sold three of her daughters (Linah, Mariah Ritty, and Soph), separating them from the family forever.[10] When a trader from Georgia approached Brodess about buying Rit's youngest son, Moses, she hid him for a month, aided by other slaves and free blacks in the community.[11] At one point she confronted her owner about the sale.[12] Finally, Brodess and "the Georgia man" came toward the slave quarters to seize the child, where Rit told them, "You are after my son; but the first man that comes into my house, I will split his head open."[12] Brodess backed away and abandoned the sale.[13] Tubman's biographers agree that stories told about this event within the family influenced her belief in the possibilities of resistance.[13][14] Childhood Part of a series on SlaveryIJzeren voetring voor gevangenen transparent background.pngContemporary [show] Historical [show] By country or region [show] Religion [show] Opposition and resistance [show] Related [show] vte Tubman's mother was assigned to "the big house"[15][16] and had scarce time for her family; consequently, as a child Tubman took care of a younger brother and baby, as was typical in large families.[17] When she was five or six years old, Brodess hired her out as a nursemaid to a woman named "Miss Susan". Tubman was ordered to care for the baby and rock its cradle as it slept; when it woke up and cried, she was whipped. She later recounted a particular day when she was lashed five times before breakfast. She carried the scars for the rest of her life.[18] She found ways to resist, such as running away for five days,[19] wearing layers of clothing as protection against beatings, and fighting back.[20] As a child, Tubman also worked at the home of a planter

Clara Barton

Dead America — Mon, 18 Nov 2019 20:17:00 GMT

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clara_Barton (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clara_Barton) Clara Barton was born on December 25, 1821, in North Oxford, Massachusetts. Her father was Captain Stephen Barton, a member of the local militia and a selectman who inspired his daughter with patriotism and a broad humanitarian interest.[2] He was a soldier under the command of General Anthony Wayne in his crusade against the Indians in the northwest. He was also the leader of progressive thought in the Oxford village area.[4] Barton's mother was Sarah Stone Barton. When she was three years old, Barton was sent to school with her brother Stephen, where she excelled in reading and spelling. At school, she became close friends with Nancy Fitts; she is the only known friend Barton had as a child due to her extreme timidity.[5] When Barton was ten years old, she assigned herself the task of nursing her brother David back to health after he fell from the roof of a barn and received a severe head injury. She learned how to distribute the prescribed medication to her brother, as well as how to place leeches on his body to bleed him (a standard treatment at this time). She continued to care for David long after doctors had given up. He made a full recovery.[5] Her parents tried to help cure her timidity by enrolling her to Colonel Stones High School, but their strategy turned out to be a catastrophe.[6] Barton became more timid and depressed and would not eat. She was brought back home to regain her health. Upon her return, her family relocated to help a family member: a paternal cousin of Clara's had died and left his wife with four children and a farm. The house that the Barton family was to live in needed to be painted and repaired.[5] Barton was persistent in offering assistance, much to the gratitude of her family. After the work was done, Barton was at a loss because she had nothing else to help with, to not feel like a burden to her family.[6] She began to play with her male cousins and, to their surprise, she was good at keeping up with such activities as horseback riding. It was not until after she had injured herself that Barton's mother began to question her playing with the boys. Barton's mother decided she should focus on more feminine skills. She invited one of Clara's female cousins over to help develop her femininity. From her cousin, she gained proper social skills as well.[7] To assist Barton with overcoming her shyness, her parents persuaded her to become a schoolteacher.[8] She achieved her first teacher's certificate in 1839, at only 17 years old. This profession interested Barton greatly and helped motivate her; she ended up conducting an effective redistricting campaign that allowed the children of workers to receive an education. Successful projects such as this gave Barton the confidence needed when she demanded equal pay for teaching.

Charlie Chaplin

Dead America — Tue, 12 Nov 2019 22:15:00 GMT

Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin KBE (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977) was an English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame in the era of silent film. He became a worldwide icon through his screen persona, "The Tramp", and is considered one of the most important figures in the history of the film industry. His career spanned more than 75 years, from childhood in the Victorian era until a year before his death in 1977, and encompassed both adulation and controversy. Chaplin's childhood in London was one of poverty and hardship, as his father was absent and his mother struggled financially, and he was sent to a workhouse twice before the age of nine. When he was 14, his mother was committed to a mental asylum. Chaplin began performing at an early age, touring music halls and later working as a stage actor and comedian. At 19, he was signed to the prestigious Fred Karno company, which took him to America. He was scouted for the film industry and began appearing in 1914 for Keystone Studios. He soon developed the Tramp persona and formed a large fan base. He directed his own films and continued to hone his craft as he moved to the Essanay, Mutual, and First National corporations. By 1918, he was one of the best-known figures in the world. In 1919, Chaplin co-founded the distribution company United Artists which gave him complete control over his films. His first feature-length film was The Kid (1921), followed by A Woman of Paris (1923), The Gold Rush (1925), and The Circus (1928). He refused to move to sound films in the 1930s, instead producing City Lights (1931) and Modern Times (1936) without dialogue. He became increasingly political, and his next film The Great Dictator (1940) satirized Adolf Hitler. The 1940s were a decade marked with controversy for Chaplin, and his popularity declined rapidly. He was accused of communist sympathies, while he created scandal through his involvement in a paternity suit and his marriages to much younger women. An FBI investigation was opened, and Chaplin was forced to leave the United States and settle in Switzerland. He abandoned the Tramp in his later films, which include Monsieur Verdoux (1947), Limelight (1952), A King in New York (1957), and A Countess from Hong Kong (1967). Chaplin wrote, directed, produced, edited, starred in, and composed the music for most of his films. He was a perfectionist, and his financial independence enabled him to spend years on the development and production of a picture. His films are characterized by slapstick combined with pathos, typified in the Tramp's struggles against adversity. Many contain social and political themes, as well as autobiographical elements. He received an Honorary Academy Award for "the incalculable effect he has had in making motion pictures the art form of this century" in 1972, as part of a renewed appreciation for his work. He continues to be held in high regard, with The Gold Rush, City Lights, Modern Times, and The Great Dictator often ranked on lists of the greatest films of all time.

Johannes Gutenberg

Join us https:// www.deadamerica.website Johannes Gutenberg Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg (/'gu?t?nb??rg/;[1] c.?1400 [2] – February 3, 1468) was a German blacksmith, goldsmith, inventor, printer, and publisher who introduced printing to Europe with the printing press. His introduction of mechanical movable type printing to Europe started the Printing Revolution and is regarded as a milestone of the second millennium, ushering in the modern period of human history.[3] It played a key role in the development of the Renaissance, Reformation, the Age of Enlightenment, and the scientific revolution and laid the material basis for the modern knowledge-based economy and the spread of learning to the masses.[4] Johannes Gutenberg Born Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg c. 1400 Mainz, Electorate of Mainz in the Holy Roman Empire Died February 3, 1468 (aged about 68) Mainz, Electorate of Mainz in the Holy Roman Empire Occupation Engraver, inventor, and printer Known for The invention of the movable-type printing press Gutenberg in 1439 was the first European to use movable type. Among his many contributions to printing are: the invention of a process for mass-producing movable type; the use of oil-based ink for printing books;[5] adjustable molds;[6] mechanical movable type; and the use of a wooden printing press similar to the agricultural screw presses of the period.[7] His truly epochal invention was the combination of these elements into a practical system that allowed the mass production of printed books and was economically viable for printers and readers alike. Gutenberg's method for making type is traditionally considered to have included a type metal alloy and a hand mould for casting type. The alloy was a mixture of lead, tin, and antimony that melted at a relatively low temperature for faster and more economical casting, cast well, and created a durable type. In Renaissance Europe, the arrival of mechanical movable type printing introduced the era of mass communication which permanently altered the structure of society. The relatively unrestricted circulation of information—including revolutionary ideas—transcended borders, captured the masses in the Reformation and threatened the power of political and religious authorities; the sharp increase in literacy broke the monopoly of the literate elite on education and learning and bolstered the emerging middle class. Across Europe, the increasing cultural self-awareness of its people led to the rise of proto-nationalism, accelerated by the flowering of the European vernacular languages to the detriment of Latin's status as lingua franca. In the 19th century, the replacement of the hand-operated Gutenberg-style press by steam-powered rotary presses allowed printing on an industrial scale, while Western-style printing was adopted all over the world, becoming practically the sole medium for modern bulk printing. The use of movable type was a marked improvement on the handwritten manuscript, which was the existing method of book production in Europe, and upon woodblock printing, and revolutionized European book-making. Gutenberg's printing technology spread rapidly throughout Europe and later the world. His major work, the Gutenberg Bible (also known as the 42-line Bible), was the first printed version of the Bible and has been acclaimed for its high aesthetic and technical quality. Early life Gutenberg in a 16th-century copper engraving Gutenberg was born in the German city of Mainz, the youngest son of the patrician merchant Friele Gensfleisch zur Laden, and his second wife, Else Wyrich, who was the daughter of a shopkeeper. It is assumed that he was baptized in the area close to his birthplace of St. Christoph.[8] According to some accounts, Friele was a goldsmith for the bishop at Mainz, but most likely, he was involved in the cloth trade.[9] Gutenberg's year of birth is not precisely known, but it was sometime...

https://www.wikipedia.org/ First New Deal (1933–1934) On his second day in office, Roosevelt declared a four-day national "bank holiday" and called for a special session of Congress to start March 9, on which date Congress passed the Emergency Banking Act.[154] The act, which was based on a plan developed by the Hoover administration and Wall Street bankers, gave the president the power to determine the opening and closing of banks and authorized the Federal Reserve Banks to issue bank notes.[155] The ensuing "First 100 Days" of the 73rd United States Congress saw an unprecedented amount of legislation[156] and set a benchmark against which future presidents would be compared.[157] When the banks reopened on Monday, March 15, stock prices rose by 15 percent and bank deposits exceeded withdrawals, thus ending the bank panic.[158] On March 22, Roosevelt signed the Cullen–Harrison Act, which effectively ended federal Prohibition.[159] Roosevelt presided over the establishment of several agencies and measures designed to provide relief for the unemployed and others in need. The Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA), under the leadership of Harry Hopkins, was designed to distribute relief to state governments.[160] The Public Works Administration (PWA), under the leadership of Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes, was created to oversee the construction of large-scale public works such as dams, bridges, and schools.[160] The most popular of all New Deal agencies – and Roosevelt's favorite – was the
