The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes A common subject these days has to do with the trauma… and how each of us has experienced some kind of trauma in our past and, unfortunately for many, it is still a very present reality. A theme I have been working on for a couple of years now, is that each of us is an amalgamation of who we have been and what we have experienced in our past. And very often, that past continues to slip into our present making, us prey for our demons of our past. What if we could find a way to manage and deal with negative events of our past that we could possibly we could live freer...

Podcast Opening Do we choose the life we live or is our life predetermined by nature, God, DNA, personal experience, or evolution? And… as I just today found out from my daughter-in-law, Maggie Hedges, this is also an important topic among followers and teachers of Astrology. Yikes! Big, big questions. Today, my brilliant guest, David Lawrence, has written a book titled Biochemical Robots in which he addresses the question: Is Free Will an illusion or do we truly possess personal autonomy? David Lawrence holds a degree in philosophy from UCLA and another...

Show Notes Our guest today offers profound insight into what it takes to live the kind of life that truly makes a difference… for you and for the people around you.

With more than 35 years of experience in the field of human behavior and development, Richard has cemented himself as a renowned keynote speaker and seminar...

Show Notes I’ve been thinking a lot lately about our American love affair with knowledge and ideas that are measurable… or what is frequently referred to scientific proofs. Unfortunately, too many influential leaders focus on so-called facts, while pretty much totally ignoring the eternal value of wisdom. Today, I’m looking forward to chatting to Terry about the place of wisdom in our everyday life—sort of a “lessons learned” from a couple of older guys. Terry Hershey is our most regular guest. If you don’t know him, Terry is a prolific writer, conference keynote...

As Charlie enjoys a cruise to Alaska to celebrate his wife's birthday, I thought we'd replay one of my favorite shows I (as the producer) got to participate in last year that we called "LESSONS FROM THE TOMB". If the title alone doesn't intrigue you enough to listen, here are some of Charlie's notes from that original episode: "This show is about endings and beginnings and the unspoken time in-between the two. Life is one long journey of these beginnings and endings like projects, careers, marriages and even life itself. As T.S. Elliot writes in his poem East Coker from Four Quartets, to...

Show Notes Our guest today, Lata Hamilton, is an inspiring Change Leadership and Confidence coach. Typically, when we think of Change Leadership, our minds go right away to the ongoing “changes” in the business culture. Lata is well-known for her work with business leaders. But as I chatted with Lata, I realized that changes in business can only occur when individual people in the company change as well. Change, therefore, is as much personal as it is corporate. As a millennial, Lata embraces personal change from a much grander perspective than even I have…...

Today’s show will be a bit different from our normal “interview” format. Today I want to talk about how to begin saving the lives of more than 800,000 children under 5 worldwide. Although my focus will be on the country of Uganda win which I have worked for the last 3 years.
Last night I was watching a documentary on Netflix, titled “Decoding Bill’s Brain,” which is all about Bill Gates. While I thought the documentary would be kind of an overview of Bill Gates’ accomplishments a neuro-processes, it turned out to be quite different.
About half the show was on how Bill thinks and processes data, but the other half of the show was about a subject very dear to me personally: Diarrhea and Infant Mortality, which is a primary area of focus for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Bill Gates, who seems to read about 15 books per week, discovered that Diarrhea kills approximately 2200 children every day—more than AIDS, malaria, and measles combined. That’s 800,000 children that die every year due to diarrhea.
