Were You Still Talking?

Today, I am with Bob Coppes, a scientist and retired financier who has studied near-death experiences for decades. I'm ask him what those even are. His latest book on NDEs "Impressions of Near-Death Experiences" (2023) contains a wealth of quotes from a variety of NDE experiencers. In 2023, he became a board member of IANDS, the International Association for Near-Death Studies. I watch a lot of videos and presentations from them. We talk about what NDE’s are and are not, who has NDE’s, are there negative experiences when having an NDE and does everyone see or feel the same thing? ...

Episode #84 John Pabon Great and inspiring conversation with John. We talked about saving the Earth! OK, let’s face it, it’s not the earth that really needs saving, it’s all the things that live on Earth. Anyway, he has a much more positive view on the subject than I do, and it was a very refreshing conversation. There was also a bit of controversy, Ooooooh, everyone loves controversy!   In his own words: I’ve spent two decades in the business of saving our Earth. After leaving my role at the United Nations, I traveled the world studying the impacts of sustainability first-hand...

Episode #79 With Liz Entin: Today on the podcast I talked to Liz Entin. We talked about her book, her podcast, helping companies go to zero waste and a lot more. From her website: Liz began examining if there was evidence of an afterlife and anything paranormal in 2015 following the passing of her father. While she still considers herself skeptical and an atheist, (although she’s a cultural Jew), the evidence really blew her away.

Episode #57

What an honor to have Andrew Ecker on the Podcast. After a proper introduction (by Andrew) I listen to him talk about native American history, traditions, honoring the Earth Mother, growing up in America and learning to heal from a childhood filled with challenges.

From his website: https://thesacredseven.com

Andrew Ecker, author of the ‘The Sacred 7’ Apache “NDE”, Irish and German American. Born into an inheritance of trauma, both his parents were addicted to drugs and died very young. Mom, Kathy Lindsey, died from a cocaine overdose whereas Father, Dale Ecker, from HepC caused from intravenous drug use.

Growing up in the height of the Reagan and Clinton “War on Drugs” policies led Andrew down a path of destruction that included cocaine and heroin abuse until he made a decision to change his life while serving 3.5 years in federal prison for drug charges.

Andrew found healing in his life through the use of ancient technologies including drumming and a ceremonial introduction process of his Native American ancestry he outlines in his book ‘The Sacred 7’.

Andrew has been able to, in over 25 years of effort, facilitate over 4000 meaningful wellness with a focus on suicide prevention, substance abuse, individual and community development.

This massive volume of work has allowed Andrew the honor of working with very diverse groups of people including tribal nations, schools, governmental organizations, churches, nonprofits, businesses, festivals, hospitals and drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Some of these groups include The Havasupai Nation, The Navajo Nation, The Hopi Nation, The Pascua Yaqui Nation, The Gila River Indian Community, The Tohono O’odham Nation, Patina Wellness Center, Native American Connections, Inter-Tribal Council of Nevada,  NACA: Native Americans For Community Action,  United States Veterans Administration, City of Phoenix, Maricopa County Public  Health, United Health Care, Wellpoint , Buena Vista Recovery ,  Charles Schwab, Bain Consulting, Exp Realty, Cancer Treatment Centers of American, Credit Union Development and Education and many many more.

Andrew, his fiancé Monica and their companies Wellness Sourcing and Drumming Sounds have focused mostly on working with hospitals and institutions labeled as memory care, behavioral lockdowns, drug rehabilitation, cancer treatment, post-acute rehabilitation, and skilled nursing. These are just some of the populations they work with. 

Recognized by the community and through this work, Andrew Ecker has been a speaker presenter at some of the largest and most influential  groups in healthcare and wellness: The Arizona Senior Center Association (keynote), The Arizona Therapeutic Recreation Association, (keynote) Arizona Activities Coordinators Association,(keynote) Assisted Living Federation of Arizona, (presenter) The AZTEC awards (keynote), Spinal Cord Injury Association (keynote), National Federation of Families for Children's Mental Health (keynote) (keynote) Oklahoma Behavioral Health Conference (keynote).
