All words I see dramatically lacking in the world of politics. Right on up from local levels, thru the States, to our nation’s capital and in our Nations White House.

Trust… think we cannot trust government right now or anytime in the near and prolonged future… trust is earned by responsible example isn’t it… The IRS scandal makes us worried even greater at how we are taxed and what it goes towards, the Surveillance of MILLIONS of America’s via phone, internet, and email is more than mildly concerning – its blatant over reach of the Federal Government.

Leadership… Now no doubt there are different styles of leaders and I have a long side my fellow men and women in uniformed have joked in the past about a few of those styles. Leading from the rear with the gear doesn’t do much for creating loyal followers who believe in ones capabilities.

Integrity …. Not even a word in this current administration’s vocabulary.
Self less service … We now know tools at this administration’s disposal are being used for their betterment while maybe trying to keep the presidential hands clean of the filth that the minions are wading in. There doesn’t seem to be much Selfless Service for our needs as a nation in order to keep us strong at heart, will, and might. What happened to working hard, building our families strong, defending ourselves against evil from foreign and domestic, and good productive American spirit. Self Less Service… there is not much selfless service towards the American people right now!

…and For the good of the people…. Well the voice of the people – even at our local levels and particularly in my state (Colorado); the voices of the people are being completely ignored and trod upon in order to meet a set agenda by out of state interests and power grabs.

There are glimmers of hope…. Among the sewage of main stream America headlines there are beams of light that arise. Colorado Sheriffs among others are sueing the Law Makers of Colorado over Magazine Bans

Sheriff John Cooke of Weld County Colorado is a vocal Colorado Sheriff who is trying to tell law makers they need to pay attention and keep some sanity or plain and simple common sense in mind. Recent laws have no “public Safety” interests at heart and in fact are designed to intentionally ignore public safety. He is helping lead the way in a Federal Law Suit against Colorado Law makers… Lets hope he and the others win!

Sheriff Cooke speaks to us about recent events, recent efforts to reign in the wrong doings of state politicians who are ignoring the people, and about reasserting common sense leadership at the grassroots level. Leading the way Colorado Sheriffs have brought a Federal Law Suit Against the very Law Makers attempting to force unwanted Magazine Bans on the citizens of Colorado.

Our Colorado Sheriffs Leadership example is not only being watched a crossed the nation. The example is being followed as recent Sheriffs in the State of NY have joined in a law suit against their state’s restrictive new gun laws as well.

Please visit our Schedule Page and consider supporting the Colorado Freedom Shoot happening June 29th & 30th. The day before the Magazine Ban may go into effect.

Moms who work outside of the home, or from their home, talk about the challenge of work-life integration all the time. But this is not just an issue for moms. As the economy has changed, more dads are becoming the primary caretakers for their children and more and more families have two working parents. Dads may not talk about this issue as much as moms, but the challenge remains. On this week’s show, I speak with executive coach and the author of Hoof it! 7 Key Lessons on Your Journey of Success, Dr. Richard Norris, about how men can re-define success to put family first and use that priority to guide them as they juggle the competing demands of home-life and work. If you or your spouse faces this struggle (and really, who doesn’t?), you will want to join us for this discussion. You can learn more about Dr. Norris, get his book, and follow his blog, at LeadingMenOnly.com.

What do you think about the concept of work-life balance? Where should dads place their focus? Or do you have an idea for a for a future show topic or guest? I would love to hear from you. Drop me a line at playdateplanet@gmail.com.

The vast majority of aviation literature is not only entertaining but quite often informative. Many of the aviation- themed novels are based on the real world reality that occurs at airports and airplanes. The techno-thriller modus operandi of Tom Clancy is frequently demonstrated by aviation authors.

The memoirs of the World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, and contemporary Middle East airborne skirmishes will often allow the reader to project himself into the pilot’s seat and create a near virtual-reality of adrenaline pumping, pulse-racing aviation scenarios. Amazon Books list hundreds of aviation books and many of them are showcased with the “look-inside”feature

JR Hafer, who has reviewed more than 100 aviation books will join Ace Abbott for a book review discussion.

If you find yourself saying that to your kids a few times too often, then today’s show is for you.

I’m joined by Dr. Fran Walfish, author of The Self-Aware Parent and a nationally recognized child and family psychologist.

We’ll explore numerous, helpful topics that will help moms and dads better deal with (and hopefully avoid!) one of the top frustrations of families everywhere. Dr. Fran will share with you:

• Why letting kids “work things out” isn’t always the best solution
• How your child’s age, gender and birth order impact this topic

• The importance of “trust” in your relationship with your small child
• How to avoid “labeling” your kids

And several strategies for success!

So send the kids outside to play (or put them down for a nap!) and tune in. Your family’s peace of mind will thank you for listening to this show!

Gloria, founder of The Parent Coaching Institute, and author of Parenting Well in a Media Age, talks with Douglas Gentile, Ph.D., Associate Professor at Iowa State University. Douglas Gentile is a developmental psychologist, an award-winning research scientist, educator, author, and one of the world’s leading experts on the effects of mass media on children, adolescents, and adults.

Did you know that the first 28 seconds of a 30 second commercial is used to set a very specific mood, to make us feel happy, relaxed, or maybe even jealous of those fabulous looking people we are watching? Advertisers knows how to engage our unconscious minds and our most primal feelings so that we are much more receptive to their messages. We are literally unconsciously driven to want their product from a deep feeling level. Rationality? Logic? Forget them. In fact, often the actual product being sold doesn’t appear until the last 5-10 seconds, as if an after thought.

Check out commercials with your kids sometime. While you watch, count the number of seconds until the product appears and then discuss what mood the images were aiming for. You can make the unconscious ploys more conscious for your kids. If you would like a free copy of Gloria’s 20 page resource guide: 100 Family Media Literacy Activities, just e-mail info@thepci.org with subject line: 100 Activities and you will receive engaging, fun activities like this for talking with kids of all ages about commercials and other content areas such as screen stereotypes and media violence.

In this podcast, Dr. Douglas Gentile discusses a few of the fascinating “psychological tricks” advertisers use, along with ways to arm our kids against their harmful effects. An engaging speaker as well as a respected scientist, Dr. Gentile has spent many years researching this topic. He has a wise and balanced approach to media issues and gives this cogent advice to parents: “Compared to factors such as environment, genetic predisposition and experience, the mass media is the most controllable risk factor when it comes to the formation of children’s negative behaviors and parents have the most power to decide on how best to keep this risk factor in check.” Amen to that!

Part Two: The Parent Coaching Corner™

Gloria continues coaching Geri, a mom of three sons, ages 9, 11, and 13 about use of their digital devices. In this session (the third of 12 coaching sessions) Gloria explores the strengths of Geri’s wonderful boys to put all their many positive qualities “on the table.” And Geri shares the insights she gained from a family camping trip without any electronics! (Listen to the two previous podcasts to catch up with Geri.)

George has personally started and run seven businesses, and his school-of-hard-knocks approach has helped over 1200 business leaders achieve their hopes and dreams for their business over the past 17 years. George’s third book –Creating a Thriving Business: How to Build an Immensely Profitable Business in 7 Easy Steps is available at www.fountainheadconsulting.com and on Amazon , and includes his Structure of Success™ methodology that he touches on during the interview.

During the show, George provides practical tips to how to connect deeply with your customers instead of simply falling back on the features-benefits/needs-wants approach that we’ve all been taught. Now, I thought I had that pretty well figured out after having had a successful sales career in my early days, but I had an AHA! Moment when George pointed out that I hadn’t taken it quite far enough to really trigger action on the customers’ part and gave me two simple tips to move beyond where I was at. If you’re stuck with sales that don’t close, this is probably just the Solution in Plain Sight that you need.

Solutions in Plain Sight Radio is all about the AHA! Moments that move the needle in your business, and getting the sales you need is a challenge for every business person. Your next step? Listen to the show, and then implement the simple three-step action plan that George and I discuss.

My guest today is Father Dave Zimmer, Pastor of St. John the Apostle Church in Minot, North Dakota. Father Dave has been a spiritual leader for a long time and while he has helped many parishioners through grief, he had never had to face a grief that did not claim lives, but lifestyles, hopes and dreams instead. It is a story of harsh realities and devastating loss. Yet, it is also a story of courage and spirit and how one town on the northern prairie, came together to rise again.

Before discussing pet loss, she shares a touching story that conveys how after our loved ones die, they often seem to send us signs of their continued presence in our lives. This phenomena also often occurs with pets. Many people say grieving pet loss is even harder than losing a human loved one.

Sid discusses what to watch for so you know when it’s time to seek medical attention or euthanize a pet. For example when the pet’s normally playful activities no longer seem so, pay attention to whether your pet might be experiencing pain. After the death of a pet, it’s healing to create some sort of memorial service for it. Both adults and children can create meaningful rituals to honor and thank their pet.
In her role as an animal chaplain, Sid is a grief counselor for the bereaved pet owners, both before and after their animal dies. One of the best ways to help a friend cope with his or her grief is to listen and be proactive in offering assistance during the first few days after their pet died. For more information, please visit www.goodgriefpetloss.com.

The truth is that a lot of our thoughts, habits, and beliefs about money originate all the way back to our birth. We are often taught as children to never talk about it. If our family struggled, it can often be a source of shame and guilt to the point that it becomes baggage that we drag around with us most of our adult lives. But, like it or not, your relationship with money and the need for it…isn’t going away. You can ignore it, abuse it, make excuses, or demand a do-over and the responsibilities continue!

Does the idea of money, mortgages, saving, or investing leave you feeling overwhelmed, confused, or wanting to run for cover? If so, you’re not alone! YOU have choices, there’s nothing wrong with you, and…you’re not missing the secret money gene! Money mastery is a learnable skill…all it takes is practice!

Join me and my guest, Luna Jaffe, Author of “Wild Money: A Creative Journey to Financial Wisdom” and a Certified Financial Planner with Lunaira Financial, Ltd.* as we discuss money mindset, mastery, and planning for your creative and spiritual soul. I’m reading Wild Money and learning that money can be a beautiful thing! If you want to experience a whole new path when it comes to exploring, enriching, and transforming your relationship with money…stay tuned! The journey is about to begin!

On the show, Roxanne explains the thoughtful and intentional way the staff and board determined program outcomes – essentially, what they wanted their clients to have or be able to do by the time they leave the transitional housing and support services of Emma Norton Residence and the permanent housing of Emma’s Place. Using outcomes is fairly new for this agency and so it is a perfect case study for those of you who are starting to devise outcomes for your own programs. The agency has already begun to see extraordinary results.

Also, since Roxanne has more than 20 years experience with nonprofit program management, I asked her what she would do if she were starting a nonprofit like Emma Norton Services today. She asks some really great questions that every leader of a new organization needs to answer to get off on the right foot.

I hope you enjoy the show.

You have tremendous healing abilities inside your body and your brain, and you can heal from and recover from some of the most horrendous injuries and illnesses – including Mild Traumatic Bain Injuries!
.
More people than you might imagine have suffered from MBTIs. You might have suffered an MTBI and you didn’t even know it.

MTBI is usually caused by a fall, an automobile accident; they can occur from a sports related accident or be a blast injury from an explosion. Sometimes people who have suffered an injury that resulted in MTBI may seem just fine on the surface, yet he or she will continue to endure chronic functional problems and not have a clue what in the world is going on. Some people know immediately that something serious has happened.

This episode of Just Between Us is going to focus on ways to support MTBI survivors and explore real tips for healing and lots of suggestions for treatment options.

My guest in this episode is Laura Whittemore, MTBI Survivor and Thriver, and the co-author of Recovering from Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI): A Handbook of Hope for Our Military Warriors and Their Families; and Understanding Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI): An Insightful Guide to Symptoms, Treatments and Redefining Recovery.

Laura has been in the field of psychology, education and been an entrepreneur for more than 30 years. She sustained a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI) in 2001, caused by a horseback riding accident. Fortunately, she was wearing a helmet. Since this life-changing injury, she teamed up with her cognitive therapist, Mary Ann Keatley, PhD to co-author two books to help readers recognize the symptoms and learn about the treatment options. They are also the founders of the Brain Injury Hope Foundation.

This is an inspiring episode that includes lots of solid information from an expert who has been there. Laura’s message is a message of hope. With all the medical advances related to the neuroplascity of the brain new pathways to memory cells can be created, and recovery from MTBI is more possible than ever before. Be sure to listen in to this episode. It is so worth your time!
