From the Archives: Austin Hedges - A Look at the Life of a Professional Athlete
The Next Chapter with Charlie

After nearly a decade of playing since graduating high school for the San Diego Padres, he was traded in late August to the Cleveland Indians. What I hope to chat about today has to do with both the inner emotional roller coaster ride, of ups and downs, family life, professional life and the place of dreams in the most competitive of environments. This show will be a “behind the scene” view of what it is like to be both hero...

#198 Richard Stone: Story Intelligence Will Change Your Life
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes My guest today is author Richard (Rick) Stone, an expert in the power of story. His book Story Intelligence challenges the fact-based portrayals that we commonly use to describe ourselves and our companies. Instead Rick is a convincing advocate of the use of “story” as opposed to facts. Rick suggests that we are, in truth, a composite of the stories or narratives we tell ourselves about ourselves. YOUR Story matters. In fact, Rick Stone has convinced me of the life-altering power of personal narratives. Rick has impacted me personally in a huge way. Join me as Rick reminds...

#197 Kamin Samuel: Reinventing Your Life Post COVID
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes As Covid 19 restrictions begin to shrink (at least in California in June of 2021), let’s prepare ourselves for an onslaught of “Post Covid Therapies.” Well, today’s conversation with Personal Business and Life Coach, Kamin Samuel, jumps right into the heart of that conversation. Our topic for the day is “Reinventing Your Life Post Covid.” Kamin and I will discuss the idea that “reinventing your life” is more about reprioritizing than it is about major changes. Of the many insights Kamin brings to us, we discuss three excellent questions that Kamin posed to me...

The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes My guest today, Dr. Neil Farber, presents a powerful case for the miracle of Serendipity and the Art of Paying Attention.

A man with fabulous stories about life’s serendipitous events, Dr. Farber convinced me that my life personally has been more determined by serendipity than it has by conscious planning.

#194 Terry Hershey Soul Gardening: Nourishing Your Innermost Self
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Today my friend Terry Hershey and I talk about his book, Soul Gardening, which after having written sixteen books, this one is his favorite. I have a feeling it is his favorite because it just might be a faithful autobiography of a man in search… of himself of what it means to embrace life on planet earth. The closing words of his book tells it all… “People who love this world, those who pay attention, are all gardeners. Because gardening is not just about digging or planting. Gardening is about cherishing.” Delightful. Let’s bring on Terry to tell us more.

As we consider making a change, my guest today, author, speaker, and entrepreneur Linda Olsen is going to walk us through a process of transforming our lives, from being stuck in the past to becoming vibrant today and in the future. And boy, does Linda have personal experience to support her story. But we’ll get into Linda’s story very shortly.
Speaking of Story… Linda Olsen is a highly accomplished expert at helping others master their own story and then teaching them how to tell that story to other people. The primary focus of her business is all about storytelling. You know truthfully… it was Linda’s fabulous Tedx talk on YouTube that convinced me I just had to see if I could get her on the show. We are so fortunate that she agreed.
Before we bring on her on the air, here’s just a bit about our guest today. Linda Olsen is a bestselling author, TEDx speaker and Founder of Wealth Through Stories. As former college dean, and marriage and family therapist Linda brings us deep knowledge of personal transformation through telling your own story.
In fact, her brand new book, Transform Your Story: Letting Go of the Past When it Won’t Let Go of You. This book offers a step-by-step process to move from your Story to your Vision and then onto a renewed and transformed life.
