After celebrating 23 years clean and sober I am realizing there is so much more to be done both in me and in the world. The realization of who I am and who I am not is a shocker!
My development from a shattered childhood, loss of 5 siblings, through an accident leaving me with mental and physical disabilities, the loss of my last brother, and a 17 year drug infested existence is remarkable. So remarkable, in fact, my life story from my novel The Quick Fix, due on out Amazon on July 1, has been optioned to be made into a feature film screenplay as you can read about HERE.
But, all the new fame and glory aside, I'm now ready to dig a little deeper for the next phase of my life. I'm having to look at parts of my character makeup, unpleasant character defects that have been apparent to all but me over all these years.
So, I continue to work on myself, to become more refined so that I may have more clarity to help others through my first hand experience. something we will be doing more of in the future as Experiencing the discomfort associated with this positive change for me from a place of understanding leads to my being a better teacher. That is my ultimate goal, to be the best author, teacher, and experiential talk show interviewer there is.
Thank you all for your support and here's to wishing each of you an opportunity to uncover, discover, and discard your negative coping mechanisms and habits so that you to may achieve your ultimate magnificence! Smile...
Language Barrier
My guest this week, author Ivan Rados, and I could not seem to communicate. He is a very intelligent Frenchman, bright, and passionate. I even had my great producer Robert Eibach step in to help bridge the gap. But in the end, as we are all from different parts of the globe, it was not until the very end of the show that Ivan understood that my show seeks to give the listeners practical advice they can apply in "The Quick Fix" of their daily lives.
The resulting show was a struggle for us all, but is lively, full of some deep, if impractical for Quick Fix style, thinking and fun to listen to. Enjoy HERE
WE'RE FLAMOUS!
This week's blog is brought to you by the great folks a Flamous Brands, creators of a line of healthy snacks called Falafel Chips. Enjoy the video, produced by my pal Ken Sheetz at BuzzBroz.com.
My pal Ken Sheetz of BuzzBroz.com gave me a Memorial Day surprise, he donated his time and talents to produce a 30 second commercial spot to use for promoting The Cool Change Foundation.
Ken nailed this one. Exactly what you'd expect from a director who has had a PBS special air as the lead into the Presidential debates. Cool.
I recently was honored to be part of Reiki master Dorothy Lee Donahue's class a few weekends ago. Reiki is an energy healing art discovered in Japan in the 19th century.
Well, turns I learned don't seem to possess the same gifts as the other Reiki students, who get such clear images or feelings. Guess I'll be sticking to being a talk show host. But Dorothy has told me to be patient and let my gifts reveal themselves. One fellow student told me I am a healing presence. In any case, I highly recommend Dorothy's class, at prices so low she is literally giving it at cost to help spread the healing. $200 for her June 5th and 6 th class that she has a few spots left for. An experience of a lifetime, great people in the class. Best $200 you might spend in a lifetime. Learn more HERE. DR. DOUG IS COOL
Dorothy has been instrumental in bringing me some of our best guests and this week's show is no exception. Listen to our interview with healer "Dr. Doug Lehrer" HERE.
David shares stories from his early childhood and his amazing healing skills. An interview not be missed.
Another grueling week keeping the charity and its radio show and hit YouTube station, The Quick Fix, rolling in The Great Recession. Tough times means tighter purse strings for charities.
But positive action always gets positive results so onward and upward, the economy just adds a challenge that will in the end propel us all further.
And speaking of getting the word out, this week's guest is a genius for just that! Click here to listen to my interview with one of the country's top PR and social media gurus, Allen Miller, CEO of Hitman PR.
Allen was nicknamed Hitman by his clients, that include such greats as Dinah Shore and Farrah Fawcett, and the name stuck. Today Allen makes people a hit with his great PR and SMM work. I am so grateful Allen has been donating some free advice to yours truly that I know is going to mean bigger and better things for our charity.
NEW WORLD FAIR
Attendance was lighter than expected at the New World Fair, but we made the best of it using the slower pace to make connections for future shows with the great exhibitors on hand and we did some fine interviews that you'll be seeing soon.
But the highlight of the event for me was speaking to a receptive crowd as seen in this great photo by my brother for buzz Ken Sheetz of BuzzBroz.com
The busy days continue. Today I do my live radio show which airs from 1 PM to 2 PM Pacific .
Drop by the blog here at 1 PM and click on this link to watch us live at Stickam.com/thequickfix!
And if you live in the LA area I hope you will join me at the New World Fair Expo, running this weekend the 22nd and 23rd. Tickets are only $10 per day and you will find experts on holistic health and fitness from all over the world.
Catie Norris, celebrity author of The Truth about Calcium, and Dr. Tony O'Donnell, author of Miracle Heart Health Secrets, have recently taken over the show and have put together an amazing weekend full of dynamic speakers and enlightening workshops for this year's fair.
And speaking of dynamic speakers;) I am a featured speaker on Sunday May 23rd at 10:00 AM in the Presentation room at the New World Fair and I hope you come and listen to me live for a informative talk on matter of health and well-being through the power of positive action!
Still catching up on a hectic schedule that saw me as a featured speaker at the Holistic Treatment Conference in Las Vegas two weeks ago.
I was impressed by how big Robert Wagener's baby has grown.
The conference took place at the fantastic Palms Casino and resort. I booked a suite on the 53rd floor and it proved to be an amazing setting for a great series of interviews directed and produced by my pal Ken Sheetz of BuzzBroz (who took the photo to the above).
And here's our interview with Julie Crocco of Treatment Solutions of South Florida.
And straight from the conference hall my interview with R. Scott Armbruster, founder of Sound Pillow, which has found amazing results with helping people battling addiction get that all important good night's sleep.
Still more interviews and a highlights from my speech to follow from Las Vegas and an interview with Foundations CEO Robert Wagener himself next blog!
Somewhere during my crazed schedule I even managed to squeeze learning Reiki healing with master trainer Dorothy Lee Donahue.
And speaking of amazing interviews and masters of their craft, take a listen to this week's great interview with Jean Mackie, one America's leading intervention experts.
Wow, looks like we made it through another Foundations Recovery Network conference. We had a booth there and I had an opportunity to make a 90 min presentation "Changing the dynamic through which recovery is perceived, making self discovery (recovery) an ambition as opposed to the shame based stigma it is today."
It was exhausting, but we made it! We, BuzzBroz.com and I, were very fortunate to have filmed several exhibitors, Here's the first of the series from Vegas, our interview with Dr. Tom Horvath who can learn more about at Practicalrecovery.com.
I had to send a volunteer home after the first day, she wasn't being a team player and was taking our focus off the project at hand. I think I made the right call sending her home. Anyway, we got to meet some new people, see some old friends, and make some new Holistic Treatment contacts! Was awesome! If you attended the conference please send us your experience and if not but you've had experience with Holistic Treatment send us that too. We may interview you! Smile...
