Let’s talk about … being a breast cancer husband.
Marc Silver joins me to talk about an important role that is often overlooked and possibly even not often acknowledged. Marc says: “When Marsha was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001, I wished I had a book to guide me through the difficult months ahead, because I had no clue what to do.” So … he wrote the book.
Let’s talk about … daring to Change – with a capital C
Best selling author Jenny Boylan knows a thing or two about daring to CHANGE. Born James Boylan, she finally was able to face the potential loss of her career, friendships and even her marriage in order to be true to herself and become a woman. In her book She’s Not There – a Life in Two Genders, Jenny says that as professor James Boylan, “I used to stand at the lectern in my coat and tie, waving my glasses around, urging students to find the courage to become themselves. Then I’d go back to the office and lock the door and put my head down on the desk.” In addition to talking about her story (AND singing a short duet of The Zombies song “She’s not There”), we will also talked about Jenny’s brand new book “Falcon Quinn” which – in Jenny’s own words – “is about kids turning into “monsters,” and the high price of accepting ourselves. And the price of not accepting ourselves, which is more.” ‘Twas good.

Let’s talk about … the adventure of letting life live us
My friend Carol Miner joined me on this episode to share with us a surprising part of her life. From growing up in the city to flying a little plane to Alaska … to staying there and FISHING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN BY HERSELF, this show was uplifting and inspiring as well as a full of great metaphors (think of someone handing you a toolbox and saying “there are some tools in there you may not know what to do with – but someone will.”)
Let’s talk about … handling stress and anger!
As a life skills instructor for the US Navy (and once single dad to two autistic sons), Dave Thomason knows a thing or two about dealing with stress and anger. I enjoyed sharing an hour talking with him and learning from him about some important practical tools – and I think you will too.
Let’s talk about … focus and paying attention!
Something strange is happening to us: between the ping of an email and the venerated art of multi tasking, we are becoming less and less able to pay attention. This has a myriad of consequences both on our private lives and on our essence as a group. Maggie Jackson, journalist and award-winning author of Distracted, shares an hour with us and explores the possibility of a “renaissance of attention” so that we may “recover the ability to pause, focus, connect, judge, and enter deeply into relationships and idea.” Join me for this episode – and please turn off your phone and your email as you do so!
Let’s talk about … being 17, Mormon – and gay!
After graduation, my friend Tommy went to Brigham Young University. He was 17. A few months later, he called his family and told them that he needed to come home to tell them “something important.” This was three years ago and I have invited Tommy to come talk with me and share more of his story. A story of authenticity. This was a heck of a good show.

Let’s talk…with Barbara Sher
Considering that I sent Barbara an email, years ago, thanking her for having licked my butt (yep, the “K” is that close to the “L” on my keyboard), it was really great of her to agree to join me on this show. And oh boy, did an hour go by fast! There is not much I could say that would do justice to how cool Barbara is. Just listen … (Oh, and who would have guessed that the Success Teams started by trying to land some guy a date?)

A rich hour spent with Connie Funk and talking about her special relationship with horses – and all of our relationship with life! I was fascinated by what I learned regarding the different roles of the females within a wild herd. I am pretty sure we weren’t just talking about horses, here …
Let’s talk about … our tribes
Betsy Gutting and I had a great time discussing the importance of having a “tribe” to help us navigate life’s transitions as well as birth our new dreams. This was a fun and important talk AND … no technical problem to report at all – which marks a milestone!
