    Title: S4EP3, Reinventing Themselves at 60 and 93, An Amazing Mother and Daughter Conversation with Amy Goober and Gwen Borden Summary: Amy Goober and Gwen Borden wrote a book together. Why is that interesting? Because Gwen is Amy’s mother. Amy was always quoting her mother and decided to let the world benefit from her wisdom. Their book is called, "My Mother Always Says," 25 lessons for Finding the Silver Lining. It's a great gift for Mother's Day for mothers, daughters, sisters and friends. Gwen Borden tells her amazing story about living through the blackout in World War II, alone in her dark house at 10 years old. She learned to pretend, had confidence, and told herself, "I'll be ok." This attitude has served her well. When she became a young widow at 44, she reinvented herself and started a bereavement center. At 93, she is still going strong and thinking of her next career. Amy Goober, Gwen's daughter, has used her mother’s strength, fortitude and wisdom in her own life and with her coaching clients. . Amy also re-invented herself many times and now runs Travel for Women, writes books, and creates connections for women. She borrowed her mother’s strong will and made sure their book got published. Her work, trips, and groups can be found at www.amygoober.com Thank you both for your wisdom, courage, and for being great examples for women. #hilaryburns #gettingrealwithhilary #AmyGoober #GwenBorden #realtalk #getreal #getfree #inspiration #thegettingrealwithhilaryshow #Mymotheralwaysays #amygoober #gwenborden #mothers #daughters #womenstravel #communities #911 #bereavement #bereavementcenters #bettertogether #reinventyourself #resiliency #thegettingrealwithhilaryshow #kikoriapp.com #norfolkva #polio #heroine #pretend

    Title: Are You a Good Listener? You Might Be Surprised with Christine Miles, S4EP2 Summary: "What is it Costing You Not to Listen," Christine Mile's first book, literally changed my life. 96% of us think we are good listeners and given what we know about listening, that makes sense. But, given what we don't know about listening, it means our lives could work 1000% better. The old, we don't know what we don't know. Christine's book addresses the problem that we don't even know we have. Listening is the most powerful underdeveloped skill, according to Christine. She focuses on understanding and Story Gathering. Christine developed the Listening Path which she is bringing into schools across the world. She is training young people to be better learners and leaders. She has worked with companies, helping them to be more effective, successful, and better places to work. Her mission is to eliminate the divisive and polarizing discourse in the country. Through her program, the world can be a more inclusive, powerful, and focused place. Christine's own story is powerful, inspiring and uplifting. She can be found at thelisteningpath.com and christinemileslistens.com.

    S4EP1, Showing People He Is Not Broken with Sam Mitchell Summary: I learned so much about people in my interview with Sam Mitchell. He is a 22 year old, motivational speaker, entrepreneur, blogger, podcaster, educator and has done a Tedex talk. Sam is a high functioning human being on the autism spectrum with a mission: to show people that people with autism are not broken. He has spoken all over the world, demonstrating his success and educating people about autism. Sam taught me that you can ask questions and there is a diference between a temper tantrum and a meltdown. He teaches law enforcement personnel how to work with autistic people. He says there are signs. It's obvious. Thank you, Sam for the work you are doing.

    S3EP11, Andrew Shelley, Celebrating Squash - Then And Now Andrew Shelley has been involved in the world of squash for nearly 50 years. He is the founder of the World Squash Library and a co-author of Squash: Then and Now: A Celebration. He wants people to know where the sport of squash came from, its background, and its history. The book is a beautiful compilation of history, photos and anecdotes of how squash started, and how it has transformed into the game it is today. The interview is dedicated to my old squash coach, Ann Wetzel, who passed away in May 2024. Her obituary can be found at: https://bit.ly/AndrewShelley A write-up by Penn Athletics can be found at: https://bit.ly/AndrewShelley2 As a former University of Pennsylvania Varsity Squash Captain, this interview was fascinating, heart-warming and enjoyable. Thank you, Andrew, for your passion, dedication, humour, generosity, and fun. You are a gift to the game of squash. Thank you, Thomas Tarantino, for making the introduction. BIO: Andrew Shelley has been involved in squash administration and management since 1976. For 18 years he managed events and operations, including the British Open, for the English SRA. From 1994 until 2010 he was CEO of WISPA (the women’s pro tour). Following that he became CEO of the World Squash Federation until 2019, at which point he retired and founded the World Squash Library to ‘give back’ to the sport. He also acted as Championship and Technical Director for many world championships; and was awarded an MBE for services to squash in 2021. He is immensely grateful to his wife and family who have allowed him a lifetime selfishly dedicated to squash!

    Title: S3EP8, Marcia Naomi Berger, Everybody Is More Complex Than a Diagnosis Summary: I didn't know what to expect when I read the Bipolar Therapist, by Marcia Naomi Berger. But here's what I do know. I couldn't put it down. Marcia's courageous storytelling gives you insights into what it is like to have manic episodes, be treated differently, be hospitalized multiple times, and yet still end up living a productive, fulfilling love-filled life. If you know someone who is afraid of their diagnosis, stigma or medication, give them Marcia's book. It is a true to life telling of the 15 years where her life radically changed on the day of her sister's wedding. She never made it there. Thank you, Marcia, for your courage, your dedication to helping people, and your commitment to wonderful marriages.

    Title: S3EP7, H Demetrius Purefoy, From Air Force To Accounting To Martial Arts Fitness Academy To Acting Summary: H. Demetrius Purefoy has had a full life in many different realms. He pursued his martial arts while in the Air Force in Japan and South Korea. He returned to the states, got his accounting degree and practiced accounting for several years. When his company got bought out, he decided never again. He opened Pure Martial Arts Fitness Academy where he did his own accounting only. He is teaching kids discipline, respect, confidence and leadership and setting the example for students everywhere. His students are a demonstration of what is possible for children. Imagine the next generation of children being disciplined, confident, respectful leaders? Wouldn't you like Demetrius to take this on the road? In addition, during a difficult time in his life, he was approached to be in a movie. That movie, the Pugilist, is premiered a few weeks ago in Bridgeport, CT at the Klein Auditorium. It is a fight story and a love story. I recommend it highly. .

    Title: S3EP6, Mike Dunlop, Eliminating Fear Because It's A Wonderful Life Summary: How to Bring Enjoyment and Profitability to Your Company is one of the sub-titles of Mike Dunlop's book, the Art of the Turnaround. Mike is a gifted business turnaround magician who self-learned how to save ailing companies. Mike does not have a formal education. He dropped out of high school and did not go to college. Mike’s genius was developed on the court. He came to the US with $300 to his name. That $300 has grown into millions of dollars. Mike’s willingness to be direct, pragmatic and bold led him into his first turnaround. His keen ability to see what was missing, know which rocks to look under, say what others wouldn’t, and be bold, had people request his services again and again. . Since then Mike has turned around 34 companies in 17 years, built his own companies, and is now teaching students common sense. Mike’s book presents 10 steps that are logical and doable, but require you to step into a new skin and become the leader you always wanted to be. It takes something, but the results are almost magical. The culture, finances, and relationships of a company will transform beyond what you ever expected. Mike is a gift to the world. His book is full of brilliant, implementable common sense and I highly recommend it. Listen to our interview to learn more about this inspirational teacher.
