Show Notes We live in a day and culture almost devoid of traditional Elders. Our society seems to contend that people get older, but they don’t get wiser. And most old people seem to have little concern about this serious conundrum. Our very special guest today, modern elder Marc Cooper, is doing something about this issue. In his latest book, Older to Elder, Marc holds a conversation with his audience about both the value and the traits of a modern elder in a highly individualistic culture of self-assurance with little desire for the wisdom and experience from what has historically...

Show Notes We are in for a very special show today with a woman whom I call a “rock star”, Rhonda Britten. I couldn’t describe Rhonda’s story any better the opening words found on her brilliant website where Rhonda writes… For twenty years, my life was a wreck.

I’m looking forward to this show because we are planning to discuss the two most taboo subjects in the US, and those are religion and politics. Well I’m not so sure we will actually talk about religion or politics but about why we say we can’t talk about them.
Terry Hershey is with me today and Terry is quite passionate about both politics and religion. Yet, he is fully aware of the deep-seated issues around both topics. As a public speaker he faces this issue every time he stands up on a podium. When he speaks to a religious audience he must be careful to speak in THEIR religious language or risk being sacrificed on the altar of heresy. When he speaks to the public at large he must be ever so cautious not to offend someone that does not agree with the politics he is so deeply passionate about. And he is most passionate about both religion and politics.
So… let’s just jump right into the topic.
