Were You Still Talking?
Were You Still Talking?
Joel Albrecht
It’s about people, places, arts, food, culture, putting positive energy in the world, how all of us have something to say or maybe we don’t, drugs, exercise (or exorcise, if you spell it wrong!), laziness, motivation, breathing! The connection we all share on the planet and quite possibly getting away from the pedestrian level of consciousness. Music by Jon Griffin.
#82 With Taylor Morden
Wow that was fantastic! What a great conversation with Taylor Morden, writer director producer and as it turns out neighbor. His documentaries include “The Last Blockbuster”, “Ska In The 90s”, “Unstuffed: A Build-A-Bear Story”, and soon to be released I hope “Getting Lost” a lost documentary. We talked about how he got started making documentaries, how he writes, how he edits, reaching out to celebrities, how important the sound is and much much more. Hope to have him back on the show soon.   Some links: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/getting-lost-documentary#/ https://www.buildabear.com/unstuffed-movie Music for all episodes by Jon Griffin.

#80 With Dr. Carolle
Episode #80 With Dr. Carolle Jean-Murat: Had a wonderful conversation with Dr. Carolle about being a medical intuitive, her books, Louise Hay, eating, praying, loving and much more. More about Dr. Carolle, Dr. Carolle Jean-Murat, MD, is a gifted medical intuitive, spiritual healer, board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist, trained primary care specialist, and burnout prevention coach. Born and raised in Haiti, she comes from a family of shamans, herbalists, and midwives. She was educated in top universities in Haiti, Mexico, Jamaica, and the U.S. Fluent in four languages; she has practiced medicine in different settings, from academia in Haiti and the US to remote hospitals and community clinics in Haiti, Mexico, Native American reservations, and the US, giving her a broad-spectrum approach to medicine and invaluable multicultural knowledge. Soon after starting her private practice in San Diego, California, she met many mentors, including Louise Hay, who became her patient. They taught her about the mind-body-spirit connection. At first, she quit obstetrics in the US, tired of performing unnecessary C-sections because of strict protocols, then gynecological surgery, realizing that stress was usually the root cause of her patient’s irregular bleeding – not her hormones. Finding the stressor and dealing with it would stop her from bleeding. She jokingly says she can help her patients “heal without a knife.” But it took an emotional and financial toll, and in her late 40s suffered severe panic attacks and had to reinvent herself. https://www.drcarolle.com/ Music for all episodes by Jon Griffin.

#79 With Liz Entin
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. She is the author of WTF Just Happened?!: A sciencey-skeptic explores grief, healing, and evidence of an afterlife. She is host of a podcast, WTF Just Happened?!: All about the afterlife. No woo. She also hosts “Science and Spirituality” private dinners, where an intimate group of you and your friends can learn more about the science behind an afterlife and get readings from highly evidential mediums who have been tested by scientists. Fun fact that has nothing to do with the afterlife - she has a chihuahua Peanut who is famous for chasing and scaring Harvey Weinstein. She splits her time between New York and LA.

#76 With Daniel John Carey
Episode #76 On this episode I talk to Daniel Carey author of “Screenwriting Tribe,” "Dream Another Dream," "Dream Your World," and “Plant-based Regenerative Nutrition.” He is the founder of Screenwriting Tribe script incubation workshop in Los Angeles. We talk about weird Hollywood, script writing, childhood trauma, someone we both know (small world) and much much more. From the author: When the pandemic caused the screenwriting workshop, I had been running for four years to be shut down, I got busy working on my books about life recovery, life redesign, and motivation. The pandemic started just after the second edition of my screenwriting book was published, which is used as a text in film schools. In March 2023, a screenplay I wrote about a religious cult made a list of the top unproduced screenplays in Hollywood. It's one of many screenplays I've written. My book "Dream Another Dream: Recover and Reimagine Your Life" was published in June 2022. "Dream Your World: Fathom a New Life in which You can Thrive" was published in February 2023. In "Dream Another Dream," I cover many topics about life intermixed with quotations of many people from throughout history. I also write of my childhood growing up in a household of many misfortunes and saturated with poverty, alcoholism, brutality, and depression. At age 16, I hitchhiked across country to escape the brutality. Completely unprepared for life, as a troubled young adult I ended up homeless. I had to build my life from the ground up. "Dream Your World" is a continuation of what I wrote of in "Dream Another Dream." In both books, I mixed the texts with philosophical and inspiring quotations from hundreds of people throughout history, all with the goal of inspiring life improvement. For many years, I had worked as a ghost writer, helping a variety of writers with their manuscripts, and getting their books ready for publishing. Mostly, I worked on health and nutrition books. I decided that from now on I will only work on my own books. In February 2023, my book "Plant-Based Regenerative Nutrition" was published. It is 400 pages, and includes claims backed by medical and science studies. I live in Los Angeles, where I run Screenwriting Tribe script incubation workshop. In 2020, I took the workshop virtual, on Zoom. Since November 2022, I also have an in-person workshop, and continue also holding the workshop on Zoom. Both workshops are for up to 17 members. I help writers polish their film and TV screenplays. I also polish screenplays for film producers. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

#75 With Joseph (Joe) LeValley
Episode #75  On this episode I talk to award winning author Joe LeValley. We talk about how he started writing his first novel, how he met The Who, some of the many celebrities he has met and going from getting his first book published to the release of his 7th novel! A bit more from his website (https://www.josephlevalley.com/index.html): My career path to becoming an author was unusual, to say the least. I like to describe it as a life of "outrageous good fortune." Significant roles in the past have included:            *  Reporter-photographer for Iowa newspapers for seven years.  During that time, I wrote thousands of articles ranging from breaking news to feature stories to personal columns.              *  Served for more than 30 years as an executive in Iowa hospitals and its largest statewide health care network. I was project leader on numerous expansions of services and facilities.  I assisted many Iowa hospitals in developing strategic plans and was a frequent public speaker on health care policy.  My staff and I won four national awards for excellence in communications.            *  Musician. Play drums and guitar.  I have performed in rock bands, a country-rock trio and as a solo artist.  I also am a composer. You can hear some of my original music under the "Music" section of this website, or on YouTube at JosephLeValley, or at www.rockiowa.net. In 2016, I was thrilled and honored to be inducted with the Mourning Glory Rock Band into the Iowa Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame.  *  Writer. After a life of writing many different types of fiction and non-fiction, I published my first novel in early 2019. I now have written five novels and am working on number six. Four have been published and have won a total of nine awards.            A lifelong Iowan, I am a proud alumnus of Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge, Drake University in Des Moines, and the University of Iowa in Iowa City. I have a degree in journalism from Drake and a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Iowa. I am proud to note that Iowa Central inducted me into its "Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame" in a ceremony in Fort Dodge, Iowa on Saturday, November 22, 2022.              I am a Life Fellow in the American College of Healthcare Executives. I serve or have served on the boards of directors of many community organizations in northern and central Iowa, and have served on committees for state and national health care advocacy organizations. I also am a member of Mystery Writers of America (MWA) and The Authors Guild, and participate in activities of International Thriller Writers (ITW) and StorySummit.             My wife Jane and I have six children and live in Dallas County, Iowa.

#74 With Csongor Daniel
Csongor Daniel (https://www.csongordaniel.com/) was one of the first officially recognized bioenergy healers in the former Yugoslavia, trained by the legendary Zdenko Domancic (Documentary: Think about It). While his teacher has healed more than a million people, Csongor has no such ambitions. Instead, he would like to teach a million how to become healers themselves. In the U.S. since 1991, he has become an internationally known healer and lecturer and the first honorary president of the International Biotherapy Association which was based in the UK. Csongor’s lectures and his internationally sold book: Biotherapy: A Healing for the 21st Century are approved for continuing education for massage therapists throughout Florida. He also has a double DVD: Energizing T’ai Chi Chi Kung: The 18 Steps for the Absolute Beginner; as well as a children’s book: The Girl with the Healing Hands. Widely recognized as one of the fastest and most powerful healing methods that have ever been developed, bioenergy healing is relatively easy to learn. Csongor’s unique, light, and humorous lectures are entertaining, fun, and highly educational. Csongor’s healing sessions are distinctive as well. Most of them take less than 15 minutes, sometimes without even touching the person. In some cases, one session is enough for full recovery. Csongor is also a master of long-distance healing. His clients can be continents away and experience the same healing benefits as if they were present. Bioenergy Healing:  Simple Techniques for Reducing Pain and Restoring Health through Energetic Healing is Csongor’s third and most comprehensive book on energy healing. It is a light, yet very informative read. If you are a fast reader, you may learn to heal in only one day. By the end of the book, you will become a healer for a lifetime. Csongor is a modern-day renaissance man. Healing and teaching are only a few of his passions. He also builds his own motorcycles, which he then rides to many of his seminars, both in the U.S. and internationally. He is always open to suggestions and invitations to teach anywhere in the world. https://www.csongordaniel.com/ Music for all episodes by Jon Griffin.
