We will also discuss her book on the subject, "Better Off Bald: A Life in 147 Days". FROM HER WEBSITE: "Andrea Wilson Woods is a writer who loves to tell stories, and a patient advocate who founded the nonprofit Blue Faery: The Adrienne Wilson Liver Cancer Association. Andrea is the CEO and co-founder of Cancer University, a for-profit, social-benefit, digital health company. With Cancer U, Andrea synergizes her talents of coaching, writing, teaching, and advocacy.

She wants to teach cancer patients and caregivers how to become advocates for themselves so they can change their cancer journey." www.andreawilsonwoods.com https://betteroffbald.com ROBERT BOOG, a real estate broker who has helped people buy and sell real estate for over 40 years in California, joined us to discuss his belief that William Shakespeare might have suffered from Bipolar Disorder AND might not have written the words for which he has been given credit. We also discussed his books on the topic,"Shakey's Madness" and "Hang Shakespeare!" FROM HIS WEBSITE: "Robert Boog is the owner/broker of Bob Boog Realty in Newhall, Ca. A graduate of UCLA, Robert enjoys writing in his spare time and is the author of several books on real estate as well as fiction and songs. Visit http://www.3funnybooks.com for more of his writing and www.i-songz.com for his songs! Ever hear that William Shakespeare did NOT write the poems, plays, and sonnets attributed to him? Why would people doubt this? For many years most people have heard that "Humans only use 10% of their brains," and most of us believed it - until it was debunked in the early 2000s. We just went along with what everyone else thought. The same thing is true with Shakespeare. In fact, the idea of a young man from Stratford upon Avon who wrote the greatest poems, plays and sonnets in the English language has not been debunked -- until now. Shakey's Madness: Does a Mental Disorder Reveal the "Real" William Shakespeare explains a brand NEW theory. In it, readers will explore the idea of a different man. A genius author who had bipolar II affective disorder - whose symptoms included paranoia, and for this reason, the "real" author would NOT wish to be connected to the authorship at all -- but then later would change his mind and include clues and symbols to his identity. Why? It was the nature of his mental disorder - not his character. Sigmund Freud was also a disbeliever. He did not think the man from Stratford was the genius author. Freud spoke about an Oedipal complex that Freud believed was at the heart of the "real" author and was prominently displayed in Hamlet." robertboog.com JIM FLYNN, a former financial consultant, a pervious contestant on Jeopardy, and now a writer of thrillers (with humor!), joined us from Connecticut to discuss all of his books, including his latest release, "Hit Your Second Shot First".

FROM HER WEBSITE: "I have a bachelor’s in English and French from the University of Ghana and have been in management positions handling corporate relations for almost a decade. I do not consider myself to be perfect or to have achieved the highest level in life. However, I have won some victories on this journey of life. My heart breaks when I see people enduring challenges that I have already overcome. It is out of this place of brokenness and passion for helping others overcome those challenges that I write my books, blogs, speaking engagements, coaching, and others. Raised by a single mother, I understand how challenging life can get. I donate a percentage of my earnings to fund non-profits in Ghana as part of my corporate responsibility." www.myhannarich.com HALEY McGEE, an actress, author, podcast host, voiceover artist, teacher, and MORE, joined us to discuss her amazing career, as well as her latest release, "The Ex-Boyfriend Yard Sale" and her podcast, "The Cost of Love". FROM HER WEBSITE: "I’ve been described as “defiantly distinctive” (The Scotsman), “a fearless, raw talent” (CBC Radio), and “one to watch” (A Younger Theatre).

It’s a memoir about how I attempted to pay off my credit card debt by selling gifts from my exes, and ended up being schooled in the true value of heartbreak. Funny, brainy, sexy and very candid (AHH). My podcast, The Cost of Love, is where I talk to the best experts I can find, to try to answer the question, “Is the cost of love worth it?" www.haleymcgee.ca ALAN HESSE, a conservation biologist, author, and illustrator now living in Ecuador, joined us to discuss the climate, the environment, and all of his books, including his "Captain Polo" series. FROM HIS WEBSITE: "When you learn while having fun, you never forget what you learn.A parent or teacher knows that there's nothing like pictures to grab a child's attention. That's why I create educational graphic novels and cartoons. The idea is to provide learning resources that are informative AND engaging. My work is all about Nature and environment. Kids naturally gravitate to these subjects and are increasingly exposed to troubling news about very serious issues, such as climate change. It's important to talk to them about these things clearly and positively, in a way that offers solutions and inspiration for the future." alanhesse.com PAXSON CHASE, a singer/songwriter, alternative/indie artist from Trenton, New Jersey, joined us to discuss his battles with depression, and how involvement with music has considerably assisted in his journey. FROM HIS BIO: "... Paxson Chase is looking to change the music narrative in his home state. Mostly being surrounded by trap and drill rappers, Paxson decided to take his own route. Using his dark tone to offer his thoughts on depression, Chase mixes in an alternative sound as well. He also likes to step out and explore his voice going into bedroom pop and soft rock. 2020 was a big year musically for Paxson as he surpassed 300,000 streams. This gave him motivation to keep pushing because of the effect he is having on those going through similar, dark situations. Using influences from idols like XXX and Kid Cudi, he wants to keep being versatile and speaking on real life occurrences. Paxson also is trying to bring back the art aspect of music with his blends of sounds and harmonies. With seeing amazing feedback from release last year titled “I Want to Kill Myself But Now Is Not The Right Time”, expect to see more and more heart wrenching music from Paxson Chase in 2021." open.spotify.com/artist/6hmKtByPkH5Cz4pxjaWXxK?si=O7Ocb4UySJCUIz5DrHBahA ZAHRA MESRIZADEH, an Iranian-American bioengineer & researcher currently living in San Diego, California, and who believes firmly in the importance of societal balance, joined us to discuss her latest release, "The God of the Gaps".

(And they all know an adult or two that could benefit from reading it, too!) But the MOST exciting thing to ME is that the LITTLE ONES are the BIGGEST FANS!! I'm getting videos and stories of them reading and LOVING the book!! Some for the first time ever!! I wrote this book with my, then, 7 year old son when he came home, again, with a note from his teacher saying he had another "outburst" in class. I asked him why this kept happening and he said, "It's not MY fault, Mommy! My mouth did it!" I said, "Well you need to be a better Boss of your mouth!..." and an idea, philosophy, book series and more was started!" imthebossofme.com |
