Archive Favs-Lindsay Davis on Life: A Burning Ball of Desire
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes On our show with Lindsay Davis today we explore the very core of human existence. I think we can best sum it up with the words of psychologist Phil Sutherland, “As human beings, before we are anything else, we are a “burning ball of desire.” Lindsay and I probe the ROLE of burning desire in every single move we make. We ARE desire. We express desire. Without desire we are barely more than automatons. But with desire we are hungry. We are fruitful. And we can find extraordinary pleasure and productivity in life. And why should our lives NOT be pleasurable and productive?...

#208 Nese Dolan and Charlie: Broken, Mended and Better Than New
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Our show today is a fun experiment. I have invited Nese Dolan, Director of Communications at Wells of Life and active law student to be on her very first podcast, not as a guest but as host! Yes. I couple months ago Nese interviewed me for an Onboarding Project for her new job. Her interview was outstanding. I told her she could be the host of a podcast, and then… well… then I offered her an opportunity to host our show today. On this episode, Nese and I will talk about the beauty of brokenness. Using the Japanese cultural models of “wabi sabi” and “kintsugi” we...

#207 Courtney Marchesani: A Weaver and a Thief-On the Craft of Creativity
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Sometimes really good things occur totally un-planned and today’s show is one of those times. Serendipity!!! Truth is, only this morning I had a very last-minute cancelation with my guest today. So as I was planning a “solo-sode” on the Craft of Creativity, I happened to receive a text early this morning from Courtney Marchesani about an unrelated issue and lo and behold, here she is joining me in to discuss creativity—as it happens one of her favorite topics. I am anxious as anyone to see just how this show comes about. I trust serendipity. Let’s see as we once...

#205 Andy Robin: The Tapas Life
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes “You could be retired for decades — so you might as well get good at it!” Our guest today, Andy Robin, truly “loves what he writes.” In his recent book, The Tapas Life, Andy articulates fresh ideas about living a delicious life—one with all the tastiness of a Tapas meal. And for those of us not familiar with the Spanish idea of “Tapas” just think of a meal consisting only of several appealing appetizers with no “main course.” On this show, Andy will share how a life of what he refers to as “prototyping vs creating a Grand Plan” and then provides...

#204 Christine Naman: A Parent’s Journey Through a Child’s Addiction
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes My guest today, Christine Naman, offered me unusually candid insights in matters of addiction in younger adults and how they are not as “uncommon” a many think. Drugs are so available, so commonly used by young adults and so especially soothing to the bullied and unaccepted child. Although not limited to the unpopular kids. What Christine brings to us is a brutally honest assessment of the role of a caring parent often denial and even and enabler an addiction. This is no doubt this one of the most important interviews on the Next Chapter with Charlie. Be prepared. You will...

#202 Terry Hershey: The Permission to be Ordinary
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes After a couple months of hiatus, I am so pleased to welcome back my friend and frequent podcast guest Terry Hershey. In today’s show Terry and I discuss the mostly American need for the overuse of superlatives in our daily speech. In this episode we talk about words like “great,” and “best” and “favorite.” Why is it when asked “how you doing” we commonly fall back to the phrase, “Great. I’m doing great!” Really??? How can you be doing great—all the time. Or what about “what is your favorite movie? Huh, before Covid I went to the movies twice a week....

Today my special guest is Adrian Laurentiu who comes to us all the way from Uganda, Africa. He is the Country Operations Manager for the NGO Wells of Life and has committed his life to public service of humanity. Although Adrian is from Romania and has Bachelor degree in Music and a Masters degree in International Relations and Diplomacy and is currently working on a PhD African Political Geography, Adrian’s primary desire in life is to serve humanity in Africa.
