    Title: S2 EP47 | Looking and Finding Legends In Amazing Places with Thomas Tarantino Not only does Thomas Tarantino find the best partners, but Barbara Scott and Tom find legends all over the world. Their book, Looking for Legends, will take you all over the world in the most incredible way. Tom and Barbara met at Princeton in the 1960's and then reunited 13 years later. The story is inspiring. They started travelling by sponsoring, of all things, squash exhibitions across the world. (I was the captain of the varsity squash team at Penn where the adventure started so it was especially meaningful to me). They then decided to travel because, why not, they could. Their adventures resulted in finding legends who can only be described as crazy/courageous/curious/unstoppable. Their stories will entertain and delight you. Thank you, the Tarantino part of Scott and Tarantino. You are an amazing person and we are inspired by you, your wife, and your life together.

    S2 EP43 | How Do We Respond to Trauma with Stephen Rowley Today's conversation covered many topics including Steven's memoir, his search for his birth mother, trauma, Jungian psychology and the Willows, where 30,000 babies were born during the 40's and 50's mainly for adoptions. We covered how our culture has changed since those shameful days when young women were "sent away" to have their babies.

    Real Life NYPD and FBI Stories with Jason Randazzo Title: S2 EP45 | Real Life NYPD and FBI Stories with Jason Randazzo Reading Jason Randazzo's books gave me a look at the life of a NY policeman and FBI agent. It felt like fiction, but they are all true stories. I can't imagine living that life, honestly. It is so far removed from my childhood in small-town Connecticut. That is why I was so fascinated with how Jason went into fighting crime, and some of his friends went the other way. How does one community create such a dichotomy of futures for their youth? Join us for an in-depth discussion of Jason's years growing up, on the police force, and as an FBI agent. I recommend his two books, "Just Another Day," and "The Day After." Bio: The author was born in Brooklyn and raised in Queens, New York. Through his adolescent years, he tried to compete athletically in baseball and football, hoping to one day play one of the sports professionally. During his time in college, where he bounced through three institutions of learning over four years, trying to find his footing in sports but never quite securing it, he finally got serious about his second choice in life and was able to earn a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice from John Jay College of Criminal Justice. The degree enabled him the opportunity to follow the foundation of learning street-level local law enforcement with the New York City Police Department, followed with a career conducting investigations involving bank robberies, fugitives, kidnappings, extortions, and other assorted personal crimes in the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Since his retirement from law enforcement and government service, besides maintaining his fitness with both the gym and sports to keep his physique in top shape, the author enjoys driving both fast cars and motorcycles in the New York area while also keeping a residence there on Long Island. This is the second book written about the many experiences of the author during his career in law enforcement. The first book, entitled Just Another Day, was published in 2020.

    Title: S2 EP41 | Heidi Across America - Experiencing Slow Travel Through the Heart of America with Heidi Beirle Reading Heidi Beierle's book, Heidi Across America, was fascinating. I admired her courage, fitness, tenacity, and dedication to so many things. Our conversation also taught me about new concepts that I had never thought about: slow travel, Adventure Cycling Association, the Good Roads Movement, how roads were created in America, historic roads, bicycle tourism, scenic roads, and America as a community. Heidi's life is an adventure, and when she felt stuck, she did something about it. She hopes to inspire others who feel stuck. First step, read Heidi's book. It is available wherever books are sold. Second step, make one incremental change which will alter your life over time. Bio: Heidi Beierle is the author of the new book, Heidi Across America. In 2010, Heidi Beierle had just finished her first year of graduate studies in community and regional planning and decided to pedal her bicycle solo from her home on the West Coast across rural America to the Preserving the Historic Road conference in Washington, D.C. Along the way, Heidi was surprised by the kindness of strangers and the emotional pinch of traveling through Wyoming, where she grew up. Her journey led her through the plains and into the Ozarks, where the heat climbed to agonizing temperatures; every pedal stroke in the heat felt closer to death. By the time she completed the trip, Heidi discovered a newfound compassion for herself and a growing love for her country. Strangers opened their hearts to her, and in turn, she opened her heart to herself. Website: heidibeierle.com Book: https://heidibeierle.com/book

    S2 EP39 Iron Dad Saves Lives By Telling About His Experience with Paul Weigel Listen to your body. If your doctor is not listening to you, find another doctor. That's what I learned from my inspiring conversation with Paul Weigel. His doctor's lack of attention to his symptoms almost cost Paul his life. For 5 years, Paul was telling him about what was not right and his doctor ignored it. Thankfully Paul found another doctor who diagnosed his cancer and Paul began treatment that saved his life. Paul's story is inspiring. As a "Weigel" he was used to pushing himself despite pain and illness. He used that to complete an IronMan 6 months after his chemo finished because he was afraid he would die and leave his 3 year old daughter fatherless. Paul's book, Iron Dad is a compelling one. Our conversation talks about overcoming a difficult childhood, finding love, and overcoming life's hardships. Thank you, Paul, for being an inspiration. Bio: Paul Weigel trained for and completed an Ironman triathlon within 6 months of finishing chemotherapy for colorectal cancer, while raising his then-toddler daughter—giving her love and security despite his fear and uncertainty. Now a young teen, she asked to hear more about that time, and, organically, a memoir was born. In Iron Dad: A Cancer Survivor’s Story of Discovering Strength, Life, and Love through Fatherhood (June 11, 2024), Weigel celebrates their bond and how to cling to the joy in life, no matter the odds. Still cancer-free 10 years later, he wrote Iron Dad not just for his daughter but to share his story—and hope—with others. Suzanne Stone, president and CEO of Livestrong, says Iron Dad is “a powerful testament to resilience, courage, and the unbreakable bond between father and child.” New York Times bestselling author Dean Karnazes says Paul’s story “is sure to energize and inspire you to live every day to the fullest, as he has chosen to do.” Website: irondadbook.com
