The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Today, I want to chat with Terry Hershey about a subject that I have been pondering and journaling on for several months. The subject is, how you might Manage Your Fate. NOTE: However, we begin the show with a detailed conversation about Burnout. On to Managing Fate… Think of your life as an ongoing process of becoming. In my mind, two primary factors influence everything that happens in your life. Fate and Choice. Fate represents all that you cannot control in life. (Or think you cannot control). And… Choice manages the impacts of that fate and...

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...

Show Notes I am hugely interested in having my conversation today with relational expert, Dr Debi Silbur. I watched two TEDx talks given by Dr Debi and decided I must have her on the podcast. Dr Debi is renowned for her work with breaking patterns that lead to self-sabotage that result in missing out on your greatest opportunities in life. As you will quickly see, her insights are mega-helpful. Dr Debi Silbur has presented her life-altering thoughts on 2 TEDx talks, on her website, as well as guest appearances on FOX, CBS, and the Dr Oz Show. LINKS Visit...

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. As I spoke with Richard Flint earlier in the week, I discovered amazing congruence in our core beliefs: we believe personal choices result in impactful personal behaviors. Quite simply, as you look at his track record, Richard Flint is a powerhouse. 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 True Freedom is often discovered in the oddest of ways, like self-discipline and self-responsibility. True Freedom requires a conscious effort. Our guest, Lee Davy, has devoted decades of his life to understanding what it means to embrace your highest self and the freedom that comes with learning that truth. Lee Davy is an inspirational author, speaker, retreat host, and breathwork specialist. As the co-founder of Connected Community and the Imiloa Institute, he has worked with clients one-on-one and with groups worldwide for more than 20 years. In the show today Lee...

Today I really look forward to the show, not so much because of the fascinating content but more because of our ultra fascinating guest… my dear, dear brilliant friend, Jennifer Bork.
Now, Jenn comes to us with no breathtaking resume, has authored no books, has no blog, podcast or business that places her atop the so-called social scale of that which most Americans secretly strive for.
Instead, Jenn Bork is a wife of Jon Bork, mother of two amazing children August and Tessa, a Facebook Make up guru, and a gym and boxing fanatic … but mostly Jennifer is a woman with as much practical wisdom as anyone I know.
Jennifer and I worked very closely together in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Officially she was Executive Director of my company, but truly she did her best job as my creative muse. Apart from my wife, no one “gets me” like Jennifer. She understands both my personal strengths as well as my core pathologies that drive half of what I do and I think.
So today, Jenn and I will have a somewhat rambling conversation, catching up, after nearly a decade of very brief contact, as we brainstorm the meaning of life for the average individual and l most likely will slip into discussion about the impacts and learnings from months of quarantine.
So, Jenn Bork, welcome to The Next Chapter with Me.
