A Mother's Legacy; Live a Life of Gratitude... DTH Episode 160 with Sammy Farrens
May 10, 2023 11:00 - 34 minutes - 23.5 MBA Mother's Legacy; Live a Life of Gratitude I've said so many times and so many ways, life is less about what is happening to us, but how we react to it that makes the difference. Some will look at a field full of beautiful flowers and focus on the weed, while others can look over a field of weeds and pick out the one beautiful flower. How is it that one person who's been bombarded with life's challenges can be happy while others who've been given so much, struggle with misery and depression...
When Your Country Is Hijacked By Real Religious Extremists... DTH Episode 159 with Dr. Mahsa Hojat-Khoshniyat
May 03, 2023 11:00 - 45 minutes - 31.4 MBWhen your country is hijacked by real religious extremists You don't have to look very far these days to find those that would rather run the United States of America down rather than be grateful for all that she has to offer. Have you ever wondered though why so many choose to emigrate from their home countries around the globe to the United States if we are so oppressive? The numbers coming versus those leaving are quite lopsided, and for good reason. I'm not here to discount peoples' perc...
How Can We Promote a Culture of Civility When Discussing Politics? DTH Episode 158 with Julian Adorney
April 26, 2023 11:00 - 38 minutes - 26.3 MBHow Can We Promote a Culture of Civility When Discussing Politics? Why is it that people these days are so terrified of people of differing opinions and mindsets? Do you think it may have something to do with the toxicity we see in social media? Or maybe it's the bombardment of "if it bleeds it leads", hate, violence and bad news from the main stream 24 hour news cycle? Could it be the politicians, outrage entrepreneurs and grievance grifters that are peddling a constant stream of Fear, Out...
Mindset Matters When Locked Up Abroad... DTH Episode 157 with Chancellor Jackson
April 19, 2023 11:00 - 40 minutes - 28 MBMindset Matters When Locked Up Abroad Everyone has a story. Our unique experiences in life is what makes up our story. How we deal with adversity can often make the difference in whether something turns out very bad, or for the good, not just for yourself, but for many others. Do you look at a mistake and see an opportunity? Do you look for an opportunity to learn in all situations? Leaders are those who seek answers and solutions to problems instead of ways to shirk accountability when thin...
Judgemental Awareness and Finding Peace Within... DTH Episode 156 with Yogi Aaron
April 12, 2023 11:00 - 42 minutes - 28.9 MBJudgemental Awareness and Finding Peace Within I wouldn't have guessed it, being somewhat judgemental myself. I know, or knew little prior to this week's conversation about yoga. I would have never guessed that having a conversation with a world-renowned yoga teacher could be so enlightening. One of the greatest part of having conversations is learning. I'm always trying to learn new things, but when this week's guest reached out, I wasn't sure his pitch was fitting what I'm trying to do wit...
Through Positivity, Thoughts Become Things... DTH Episode 155 with Neo Positivity
April 05, 2023 11:00 - 40 minutes - 28 MBThrough Positivity, Thoughts Become Things Have you heard about the law of attraction? You've probably heard me talk about the reticular activating system. I first mentioned it way back in DTH episode 52. The law of attraction works very much along the same lines. The basic principle is, the things you focus upon most, you will attract more of. If you are constantly focusing on negativity and toxicity, you will then invite into your life more negativity and toxicity. The same goes for positi...
You Shall Be Known By The Fruit You Bear... DTH Episode 154 with Nathaniel A. Turner
March 29, 2023 11:00 - 46 minutes - 32.1 MBYou Shall Be Known By The Fruit You Bear I'm sure you've heard the phrase, in some fashion or another, that is derived from Matthew 7: 15-20. It's not an exact quote, but the meaning is so very true. What is more important that we can do in this world than to leave good humans to follow up where we left off? We as individuals have a responsibility to be good people. If we choose to have children, it is then our responsibility to make them good humans too. Human nature is not "inherently good...
Happiness is a Journey, Not a Destination... DTH Episode 153 with Amir Siddiqui
March 22, 2023 11:00 - 27 minutes - 19.2 MBHappiness is a Journey, Not a Destination I've said it time and time again on this podcast, we have a moral obligation to be happy! Friends, smiles and bad moods are contagious, so we owe it to those around us to put in the effort to be happy people. If you are not happy, it is up to you to change it. As my guest this week, Amir Siddiqui put it, "change is inevitable, growth is a choice". Sometimes it takes a little growth to become the happy you that you should be. Just remember, happiness ...
DEI Might Not Include Diversity of Thought... Bonus Episode with Dr. Tabia Lee
March 20, 2023 11:00 - 48 minutes - 33.3 MBDEI might not include diversity of thought I think most people by now are familiar with DEI trainings and what they are supposed to be about. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, on their face, have an awful lot of merit. In the work I've done with this podcast though, we are seeing far too many instances where these programs are being hijacked by "woke" ideology and an almost militant "anti-racist orthodoxy". Unfortunately, many who are working for the cause of diversity, equity and inclusion, ...
Thank Goodness I Was Bullied! DTH Episode 152 with Madonna Hanna
March 15, 2023 11:00 - 57 minutes - 39.6 MBThank Goodness I Was Bullied! Many may be struck by this statement, some may even find it a bit offensive. That I can understand, because when I first read it, I was a bit struck too. Those who have been bullied may even find the statement a bit hurtful and that is by no means the intention. Regular listeners to the DTH podcast know that I speak often of the lessons of my life, and this is definitely one of those times. Both my guest, Madonna Hanna, and I speak on this topic with passion and...
There Really Is Magic in a Collaborative Conversation... DTH Episode 151 with Peter Anthony
March 08, 2023 12:00 - 51 minutes - 35.6 MBThere really is magic in a collaborative conversation One of the biggest problems I see in society today is that toxicity prevails when civility is needed. Nowhere is this more evident than on social media. Does anyone believe that a meaningful conversation that produces a positive result can start on a foundation of toxicity? I'm not saying that it is impossible, but I'll go so far as to say that it is very unlikely. Take our very own federal government as an example. Nowhere on the planet ...
Average Mohamed Freedom Fighter... DTH Episode 150 with Mohamed Ahmed
March 01, 2023 12:00 - 47 minutes - 32.9 MBAverage Mohamed: Freedom Fighter (the book) Those who have listened to the DTH podcast for awhile are probably familiar with my friend Mohamed Ahmed, a.k.a. Average Mohamed. I first had Mohamed on the podcast way back in episode 49 and that is when I first learned of his work battling extremism with an alternative narrative. Mohamed joined me again in episode 71 to discuss the 20 year anniversary of the attack on 9/11/2001. Mohamed Ahmed, my friend, works tirelessly in the battle against ext...
Work Hard, Don't Suck... DTH Episode 149 with Paul "Roscoe" White
February 22, 2023 12:00 - 41 minutes - 28.8 MBWork Hard, Don't Suck There is a lot to be said for hard work and dedication. There are times though when working hard is not enough. If you are working hard at the wrong things, or working yourself towards the wrong goal, you seem to get nowhere. If you have ever felt this way, you are not alone. It's easy to get bent out of shape, but it's better to learn from your mistakes and find a better way. My guest this week, Paul "Roscoe" White believes that anyone can be a champion in life with t...
What Value Do You Place On You? DTH Episode 148 with Regi Wilson
February 15, 2023 12:00 - 39 minutes - 26.9 MBWhat Value Do You Place On You? How do you define value? What does value mean to you in terms of yourself and others? Can you love something that you do not value? Would you ever build upon something that you do not value? Would you protect something that you do not value? I'll ask again, what value do you place on you? Who is Regi Wilson and what is this Human Value Initiative? Value identity and the human value initiative is a passion of my friend Regi Wilson of theequaluniverse.com. Regi...
Are You Choosing to Live, or Waiting to Die? DTH Episode 147 with Clint Hatton
February 08, 2023 12:00 - 45 minutes - 31 MBAre You Choosing to Live, or Waiting to Die? This may be one of the most terrifying questions we have to ask ourselves as individuals. I personally believe we were given life, not simply to live, but to live fully. It goes right to the core of personal accountability. If you are not living the life that you want, what is standing in your way? My answer, in most cases, would be YOU. We live in a risky world, and living fully often means living courageously. So it may be time to ask yourself t...
The End of Bias Starts with a Conversation... DTH Episode 146 with Jessica Nordell
February 01, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 42.2 MBThe End of Bias Starts with a Conversation Have you ever stopped to think whether your unconscious thoughts contributed to bias or stereotypes? I think if we are honest, do some self-reflection, and allow for some vulnerability, we'd all say yes. I'm one that will readily say that not all bias is bad, but it's often thought of in bad context. Negative bias and unfavorable stereotyping often lead to great harm. It is for this reason, we should all do what we can to acknowledge and stamp out b...
Making Connections and Managing Stress Through Humor... DTH Episode 145 with Izzy Gesell
January 25, 2023 12:00 - 47 minutes - 32.8 MBMaking Connections and Managing Stress Through Humor Most people know what humor is, but do they know that humor has true functions? Humor serves more of a purpose than just to make us laugh. Laughter is a large part of humor, but there's more to it than just that. My guest this week, Izzy Gesell, joins me to discuss the importance of humor in making connections, managing stress and overall health and wellness. Who is Izzy Gesell? Izzy Gesell is an “organizational alchemist” who helps indi...
The Difference Between a Present Father and an Engaged Father... DTH Episode 144 with Ken Gordon
January 18, 2023 12:00 - 49 minutes - 33.9 MBWhat is the difference between a present father and an engaged father? It wasn't until I met this week's guest that I had ever really thought about that question. I've spoke on occasion about the statistics that clearly show the detrimental effects of not having a strong, influential male figure in the life of a child. It was not until I had this conversation with my new friend Ken Gordon though, that I really thought about how just being present, and truly being engaged in a child's life, d...
The Dream Isn't That Far Away... includes MLK "I Have a Dream Speech"
January 11, 2023 12:00 - 22 minutes - 15.5 MBThe Dream Isn't That Far Away There are many among us, who for the pursuit of money, power or attention, ( and some out of pure hate), would have you believe that the institutional racism of the 1960s is still present in the United States today. Nothing could be further from the truth. Many of these people would have you believe this, because they know the best way to benefit themselves is to keep everyone else divided. Our founders spoke of freedom and all men being created equal. Our count...
Better Communication by asking How Do We Get To The Why... DTH Episode 142 with Brenden Kumarasamy
January 05, 2023 01:00 - 32 minutes - 22.1 MBHow do we get to the why? Far too often, people enter a conversation, or worse yet, enter an argument with someone that they disagree, and never ask the most important question. Understanding the other person's why will always make for a better conversation or more effective argument, whether you end up agreeing or not. Communication is about leading a more fulfilling life, therefore being a better communicator leads to a more fulfilling life. Better communication often begins with the quest...
What Does Science Have To Do With Gratitude? ...DTH Episode 141 with Timmy Gallagher
December 28, 2022 12:00 - 36 minutes - 25.3 MBWhat Does Science Have To Do With Gratitude? "Some people are seek to perform, a few are called to lead, and most do the best they can on their own." When I saw this quote on the website of this week's guest, I knew I wanted to know more. When we started emailing and he talked about an attitude of gratitude, I knew I had found a friend. He likened us to "different pews in the same church". As I spoke with Timmy Gallagher, it was the question, "what does science have to do with gratitude?" th...

December 21, 2022 12:00 - 32 minutes - 22.7 MBAccountability is Key in the Journey to "Unstuck" I know it may sound simplistic, but it is something I talk about often, I believe it, and I strive to live it every day. Friends, much of what we seek in life, and much of what we can do to make the world a better place begins with accountability. Sometimes, personal accountability is key in the journey to "unstuck". How accountability helps to Envision Results My guest this week, Marnye Moore, was just an ordinary person living a completely...
Turning Your Baggage into Luggage... DTH Episode 139 with Donna Tashjian
December 14, 2022 12:00 - 35 minutes - 24.2 MBWhat's "Turning Your Baggage into Luggage" mean? When I first saw the phrase, "turning your baggage into luggage", I knew I wanted to speak with this week's guest. We all know someone, or know plenty of them, who carry around everything that's ever happened to them. All their toxic baggage keeps them down and prevents them from living their best life. How can you turn that baggage into luggage? You may have been taught how to cope with your fears and challenges. You may have used willpow...

December 07, 2022 12:00 - 52 minutes - 35.8 MBWhat Makes Up Your Web of Beliefs? Those who have followed the DTH podcast for long know about my work with the organization Braver Angels.

Level Up Your Life with Next Level Thinking... DTH Episode 136 with Kevin Palmieri
November 23, 2022 12:00 - 32 minutes - 22.2 MBLevel Up Your Life with Next Level Thinking Sometimes in life, once we attain a goal, we realize that goal is not quite the prize that we imagined it would be. This is not to say that goals are not important, because they very much are. This is to say, that often people put to much of their personal fulfillment and joy into external results. This can lead to a whole different kind of misery. This is the time to level up your life with next level thinking. Kevin Palmieri talks Next Level thi...
Communicating Better by Following the Platinum Rule... DTH Episode 135 with Jennifer Furlong
November 16, 2022 12:00 - 38 minutes - 26.6 MBCommunicating Better by Following the Platinum Rule One of the largest problems we face in society today is the fact that we do not communicate well. We spend so much time talking past each other instead of speaking to each other in a way to effectively be understood. Effective communication is a two way street that involves so much more than just trying to get our point across. How can we communicate better? There are many ways we can learn to communicate better and more effectively. On...

November 09, 2022 12:00 - 29 minutes - 20.2 MBDo You Struggle with Self-Discipline? Many of us struggle with self-discipline. I know I often do.

In fact, he wrote a book about it, called "Climbing the Self-Discipline Tree" where he discusses the 3 phases essential for accomplishing any goal. So, do you struggle with self-discipline? If so, check out this conversation with my guest Zach Mathews... Who is Zach Mathews and wh...

November 02, 2022 11:00 - 37 minutes - 25.6 MBWhat Shape Are Your Emotions In? Did you know that emotions had a shape? I personally did not until I was approached recently by this week's guests. As someone who talks a lot on the podcast about emotions and how we need to understand and react well to our emotions, I was intrigued. It wasn't until I began to look in to Matthew & Chantal from 5th.Place that I knew about the Shape of Emotion... What is the "Shape of Emotion?" "Shape of Emotion is a model, process and tool of how we struct...
Do You See All the Possibilities? ...DTH Episode 132 with Victoria Rader
October 26, 2022 11:00 - 35 minutes - 24.6 MBDo You See All the Possibilities? Sometimes the greatest challenge we face is not what we don't have or cannot do, but not seeing all the possibilities available to us. Wanting what we don't have, or not being able to do something we desire can be cause for great frustration, and in some cases, Hate. Sometimes it takes the right coach in order for you to see all the possibilities. Are you as happy as you'd like to be? Is your life one of Peace, Purpose and Prosperity? Do you see all the pos...

October 19, 2022 11:00 - 42 minutes - 29.4 MBAchieve Greatness Through Mental Fitness Not a single human being has ever died from a snake bite.

October 12, 2022 11:00 - 33 minutes - 22.9 MBHow do you escape the FOG of a toxic relationship? If your past is anything like mine, you may have been in a toxic relationship, or several.

Maybe you're just toxic together. My Guest this week is Shannon Petrovich of Therapist Talks Shannon Petrovich, LCSW, LISAC, BCD, is a therapist in privat...
Getting Along Isn't Possible If We Aren't Having The Conversation... DTH Episode 129
October 05, 2022 11:00 - 50 minutes - 34.8 MBGetting along isn't possible if we aren't having the conversation. I bring this up because we are just weeks away from yet another contentious election. Accusations are flying, hyperbole is everywhere. Hate for the opposition is thick in the air and little of what is said about those on the opposing side is probably true. What would the world, and more specifically our country, be like if people of opposing views had civil discussions again? It's been incredibly busy for me in recent week...
Grace, Gratitude, Respect and Integrity... DTH Episode 128

September 21, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 44.8 MBWhat is the Theory of Racelessness? Have you ever heard of the theory of racelessness? What if there were no such thing as race, if race as a "thing" did not exist? Would we then be able to conquer racism? It's not a hard theory to grab a hold of if you try. This week's guest has developed the Theory of Racelessness. Who is Dr. Sheena Mason? Sheena Michele Mason earned her Ph.D. in English literature from Howard University in Washington DC USA. In August 2021, she joined the faculty at SU...

September 14, 2022 11:00 - 57 minutes - 39.8 MBIs our country at odds with its own identity? What is our country's true identity? My guest this week, James E. Palombo, makes the claim that there is not enough dialogue about the character and culture of our great nation. Who is James E. Palombo?

Nothing Good Comes of Hate... DTH Episode 125
September 07, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 47.8 MBNothing good comes of Hate I’ve made the statement so many times on this podcast, but I’m reminded daily that nothing good comes of hate. There is no greater reminder in my mind than the speech given this past week, and other things said recently by the current President of the United States. For clarification, THE DTH PODCAST IS NOT POLITICAL. I want to make sure that is clear, but Hate is Hate and I’ll point it out when I see it. People often make the statement, “words matter”. When labe...
The Importance of Family and Family Time... DTH Episode 124
August 31, 2022 11:00 - 30 minutes - 20.7 MBThe importance of family and family time cannot be overstated. I spoke last week about taking a little time for myself and the family. We enjoyed our little weekend camping trip, and so grateful for the memories. As I was thinking about the importance of family and family time, I began thinking about an early DTH conversation I had with my friend Kendall Qualls. I've pulled that conversation from the DTH archives for this week's episode. Who is Kendall Qualls? Kendall Qualls, president of T...
What is Freedom If You Don't Take the Time to Enjoy It? DTH Episode 123
August 24, 2022 11:00 - 35 minutes - 24.6 MBFriends, what is Freedom if you don't take the time to enjoy it? In the past week it became very apparent to me that I've been neglecting one of the greatest gifts that I have been blessed to receive. That is freedom. As we, my wife and I, were preparing for an upcoming camping trip, I realized how little we do for fun these days. This became evident when I saw an unopened gift my wife had given me for my birthday last year. It took a reality check for me personally this week to ask myself ...
Sometimes the Prize is the Experience Itself... DTH Episode 122
August 17, 2022 11:00 - 12 minutes - 8.58 MBSometimes the prize is the experience itself. In this quick episode, I take on the defeatist attitude that unless you're going to win, why bother trying. That may be an exaggeration of the way it was said, but this comes as a result of something someone said to my wife recently regarding my participation in a BBQ contest. So why do people compete in events when they know they have very little, if any chance of winning? Sometimes the prize is the experience itself. I use as an example, the B...
What Role Does Fear and Trust Play in the Gun Safety Debate? DTH Episode 121
August 10, 2022 11:00 - 59 minutes - 41 MBWhat role does fear and trust play in the gun safety debate? I recently sat down for a follow up conversation on the topic of gun safety with 2 friends of mine from Braver Angels. In December of 2021, I conducted a round table event with some friends on the same topic. A lot of things were left unsaid and unresolved in that conversation, as many conversations go when it comes to contentious topics. I asked my friends Mark Beckwith and Paul Norris to rejoin me for this follow-up conversation....

August 03, 2022 11:00 - 42 minutes - 29.5 MBDo you trust that our public health officials are telling you the truth? This question, for me, lead to the Truth and Trust Project. I for one find myself very skeptical these days. As many who’ve listened to the DTH podcast for long know, I’ve been highly critical of the government’s response to the pandemic from the very beginning. How does someone like me have a conversation with someone who had direct influence on the government’s response to the pandemic? Not so long ago, I would say t...
Nazis at the Turning Point USA Event? DTH Quickshot with Wilk and Jeff Schoep to discuss
August 02, 2022 01:00 - 17 minutes - 12.3 MBDid you hear about the Nazis at the Turning Point USA event? If those in the media, and more specifically, the gals on The View trying to perpetuate the Hate, you probably wouldn't have. I thought it was another staged bit of nonsense. This is why I called up my friend Jeff Schoep. We live in an age when certain people like to use their big platforms to perpetuate hate and false narratives to drive their own personal agendas. When I saw there were "Nazis" at the Turning Point USA student a...

Does Money Buy Happiness? DTH Episode 117
July 13, 2022 11:00 - 16 minutes - 11.5 MBDoes money buy happiness? If you find your happiness in material things, you might say yes. I would challenge whether that is real happiness. Material things may bring moments, or even periods of joy in one's life, but moments of joy are only a sliver of what amounts to true happiness. Should money be the yardstick by which we measure happiness? There is a concerted effort on the part of so many these days to divide the "haves" and "have nots". Have you noticed this? I make the case in this...
