Episode 71 . Jennifer Sims
19Stories
If you’re a regular listener to my show, then you know by now that I’m always excited to introduce you to intriguing creatives who are making a positive impact in their fields of expertise. Today, I’m especially excited for this conversation as in some ways I feel like this particular guest and I have been doppelganger’s in both experiences and creative choices. She also happens to share one of my core beliefs that it’s never too late to pursue one's dreams. Now a full time voice and on-camera actor as well as a voice over coach, Jennifer “Jenn” Sims, was deep...

This episode discusses childhood molestation and rape and may not be suitable for younger listeners or those who’ve experienced similar trauma. I hope you’ve all had a beautiful and rejuvenating summer. I’m recording this episode on the eve of the Autumn Equinox.

Episode 69 . Paul Schmidt
19Stories
The first thing my guest, Paul Schmidt, would like you to know about him, is that as a single dad, his teenage son, Robbie, is his world and his reason for everything. Which is incredibly endearing considering the level of success he’s attained in a variety of professional and creative endeavors. Perhaps his success is due to being cast at the age of six in the role of “God” in his school play and that has “anointed” his efforts ever since. For years Paul would continue his Thespian pursuits acting in just about anything he could, which in 1980’s Baltimore meant musicals, as he...

Episode 68 . Christy Harst
19Stories
My guest today, Christy Harst, has been heard on the World Series, Monday Night Football, and the NBA Finals as one of the national voices of YouTubeTV. She’s also the national voice of John Deere, and has voiced dozens of television, streaming, and radio ads. Her career in voiceover began in college when she applied for a news internship at a local classical radio station. It was during her interview that the station manager told her she had a good voice, escorted her to the studio, recorded her reading the Star Spangled Banner and then suggested, “You’d do well in voice...

Episode 67 . Hannah Sward
19Stories
The following conversation may not be appropriate for younger listeners, or those who’ve experienced abandonment, sexual abuse, or drug addiction. Today’s guest, author Hannah Sward, has quite the story to tell. So much so, she wrote about it in her memoir Strip, an International Book Award Finalist, Reader’s Choice Award Finalist and Book Soup Bestseller…which is quite the homage to her late father; the renowned poet and novelist Robert Sward. Widely published in literary journals in the US, Canada, and the UK, her work has also appeared in publications such as LA Times,...

Episode 66 . Jennifer Clark
19Stories
My guest today, Jennifer Clark, is described as the sound of Humankindness. It’s who she is, how she does business, and what she sounds like. It’s the sound you can trust. It’s the sound of collaboration. It’s the sound of stories with impact. And on this podcast it’s all about the stories. Perhaps her humankindness stems from being a pastor's kid and traveling to 14 different countries and exploring the common thread that binds us. Perhaps it’s her classical training, in both singing and violin, allowing her to speak a universal language that touches the heart of all...

Now in its 4th year, the Women in the Arena podcast seeks to inspire, encourage and challenge women to reach for the greatness they were made for. And I invite the men to stick around as I imagine we all could use that kind of encouragement! As a...

I certainly hope your holidays afforded you time to enjoy some rest and rejuvenation, and that 2024 is the year that you’re able to actualize some of your dreams and aspirations.

She’s a multi-award-winning voice artist working in national television and radio commercials, and numerous other genres of voice work. Maria is also the President of the Board of...

Episode 63: A Holiday Message and Special Announcement
19Stories
Hello and a very Happy Thanksgiving week to you and yours. I hope that you’re able to take some down time to enjoy the beginning of this holiday season, eat some good food, and do that which makes you feel rested and rejuvenated. It’s been about a month since I’ve released a new episode and part of that is due to another project I’ve been working on. So, with that in mind, I am going to be taking a hiatus from releasing any new episodes of 19 Stories: from fear to Hope, until the beginning of 2024. I already have some wonderful guests who’ll be joining me to share...

Episode 62: Dave Walsh
19Stories
If you’ve spent any amount of time on popular social media channels, you’re bound to have come across post after post with the anthem cry imploring you to be authentic, use your authentic voice, and for goodness sake, live your truth! But what exactly does that mean in a time when truths are manipulated and shaped to suit personal and political agendas? Leaving one to wonder whether or not authenticity, and dare I say, integrity, matter anymore? The guest joining me today, Dave Walsh, knows a thing or two about what it means to live into our authentic self and has been sharing...
info_outlineHello and welcome to this very special Encore Presentation of my 27th episode that I released back in August of 2021. Back then, I had a great conversation with my guest Jim Cooper, where among other topics, we chatted about the book he was penning, now known as ‘The Not So Little Book About Cancer Caregiving: Be a Caregiver Warrior and Keep Your Sanity!’, which is part memoir and caregiving advice that was birthed from his time as a caregiver to his wife during her battle with brain cancer.
Jim’s book was just released in paperback and is now available on amazon. I think it’s important to note that I have no affiliate relationship with Amazon, rather I’m supporting the tremendous act of service that Jim is providing via the release of his book.
As someone who was a caregiver myself, to several family members with cancer, I know this will be an extremely welcomed resource to those folks who suddenly find themselves in a caregiving position.
I hope you are having a wonderful summer and enjoy this encore presentation with my guest Jim Cooper.
My next guest is a veteran radio personality, voice actor, author, book publisher and drummer.
He cut his on-air personality at KILT in Houston (1980). Was on air talent, production & music manager at WMLP & WOEZ-FM in Pennsylvania.
In Central New Jersey, he hosted, wrote and produced a syndicated film review radio program called ‘All That Glitters’ that aired on WCTC and WMGQ.
These days his voiceover credentials run the gamut from audiobooks, E-Learning Modules, Corporate Explainer videos, radio promos and phone messaging systems.
He’s also the creator, producer & host of ‘The Hydrant’, an Inside The Actor’s Studio-ish video chat with the movers and shakers of the Voiceover industry.
I’d like to welcome the “VO Big Dog” aka Jim Cooper to 19Stories.
