For this episode I chose to keep my guest's identity and location somewhat vague on purpose so to protect her from anyone who might watch or listen to this episode who might have less than honorable intentions. Ms. Tiffany and I discuss what it's like to be a teacher and why she and others choose to become teachers despite all the challenges they face in this chosen profession. We talk about the concerns of school shootings woke teachers, low wages, no funding, and difficult students. If you didn't have an appreciation for teachers before I think you will when you reach the end of this episode. Enjoy!

Portia Booker is the Executive Producer and Host of "Groove with Portia", a weekly radio show centered around personal and professional development.  Her mission is to educate and encourage communities of color to change their views of mental health. Today though, Portia and I get a little more personal as we speak about why she didn't date men of her own race. Her reasons and insight are definitely worth a listen. I'd encourage you to listen with an open mind.

Today's guest is Carl Creasman. He's back for part 4 of a 3 part series. I had such a good time with him that I had to have him back to talk about the real threat of another Civil War. With talk about Texas seceding again and the divide between this country is it possible? Carl, brings an insight into the topic as only he can. His answer may surprise you and will definitely be eye opening.

This is the third episode of a three-part series (now turned into a 4 part series) with my friend and Historian, Carl Creasman. We talk about the events that lead up to Roe v Wade and its impact on American society and the world. Of course, we talk about everything related to this topic to get the bigger picture. At the time we did this show SCOTUS still hadn't ruled. As we know now the conservative-led court overruled this 40-year-old precedence that was law, to set women's rights back decades.

Carl Creasman is back for part two of our three-part series where the topic today is gun control and the Second Amendment. As anyone who has ever followed this topic knows it is extremely divisive. As always Carl brings the history and the facts to make sense of things. We both hope this will help to open up discussions between ourselves so we can find a compromise that could make a real change.

Russia vs Ukraine is the first of a three-part series with professor, historian,  and long-time friend of the show and my friend as well, Carl Creasman. We delve into the war between Russia and Ukraine, why it was started, who started it, and who we should be rooting for. As always with such discussions with Carl, they tend to get a little deep and are very informative. This episode won't disappoint. Be sure to catch the second episode of the series next week where we talk about gun control and the second amendment.   Website: https://carlcreasman.com/

Christos understood at a very young age that he was the kind of person who was always going to learn the hard way, and to make life even more challenging he was also diagnosed with ADHD. As you can imagine Christos was like any boy rambunctious, full of energy and spunk. This of course caused problems from time to time which resulted in his expulsion from the private boarding school he attended. To this day he is the only student to be admitted to this prestigious school, expelled, and re-invited back to where he would graduate. Learning the hard way seems to have worked for him since he's turned his life around from those early days. He's the author of "Wild Dogs: An Adventure in Adolescence" It's his story of how he navigated through those most difficult years and came out on top. The book is dedicated to a classmate who passed away far too soon. All the proceeds go to helping match up bone marrow donors to the recipients. I applaud him for such a noble gesture. As always we had a lot of fun and I know you will too. Book: https://www.amazon.com/Wild-Dogs-Adolescence-Christos-Kalogirou/dp/1544521960

My guest today is Dr. Keiron Brown who is a relationship expert and author of Don't Date A Psycho: Don't Be One, Don't Date One.  I had a great deal of fun as we traversed the topic of relationships. We talked about how not to date a psycho or be one. We also talked about things such as Emotional Hoarding and how it's not only detrimental to a relationship but to oneself as well. Dr. Brown dropped a lot of great wisdom for anyone who is in a relationship or is looking for a relationship.

Our show today covers one of the most heated and debated topics of all time, but to be argued fairly you must have at least one Englishman and one American on the panel to make it valid. Them the rules! Joining me today from across the Pond is none other than Music Expert Extraordinaire and friend of the show Mr. Marc Jeffery! Making an all-time greatest bands list is no easy task and deserves a great deal of thought. Tell us who we got right, who we got wrong, and how the hell could our list be complete when we didn't include this band?  This is strictly for entertainment purposes so please don't come after Marc or me because you think we dissed your favorite band. Just leave your comments instead and we'll get the gist.   Hashtags: #tengreatestbandsever #toptengreatestbands ##beatles #eagles #ledzepplin #thewho #queen   Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbnMm3RsgCuXdJlY8jvqI3Q https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeTMeF5h6xzBmoxyqDzQ9xg https://www.instagram.com/marcjeffreypodcast/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-marc-jeffrey-show/id1206615943  

My guest today is a father, a husband, an author, an entrepreneur, and a world traveler. He lives the life that most wannabe world travelers such as myself would love! Since starting his adventure in 2008 with his kids and wife, he has made the most of his time by visiting nearly 80 countries thus far, with no signs of slowing down. I had a wonderful time discussing his many adventures and even some misadventures. We even talked about charity work that he and his family participated in that added immense value to their experiences. His book (aptly named) "Are We There Yet?" will make you feel as if you're on a journey with them, so be prepared to laugh, cry, and smile. He really is such a great guy! The kind of chap you could grab a pint or two with (as they say across the pond) and spend the day telling stories and having a great time! Please welcome the wonderful and amazing Ian Pilbeam!
