The celebration of Yom Kippur has begun. It is the highest and holiest of the holy days in Judaism. Even though we are not members of the faith and tradition, we are in deep sympathy, empathy, and a feeling of deep spiritual kinship with our many friends in faith. We too seek to keep the Sabbath and in particular we celebrate the Rosh Hashanah, New Year's, and the 10 days that follow which are the Days of Awe culminating in this holy day which is the Day of Atonement. These are challenging times for us all but in particular for oir Jewish friends and those of us who are friends of the state of Israel. It's been said that Israel is right now in the midst of a fight for it's very existence and it is in a seven front war. I asked a good friend and a colleague in some projects, Steve Lear, to join me in a conversation of forgiveness, and a honest look at the situation before the people of Israel and indeed before us all; and in hope for a new spiritual renewal and direction for us all in the new year! We welcome

He asked me to step in for him and be him on a video. He was a well-known writer covering areas of money, finance, and life principles based on biblical principles and from the Talmudic principles of the Jewish tradition. It was fascinating as he took some of the teachings and ideas from the ancient wisdom of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures and came up with some very significant and very helpful planned for life and business success. And during the Covid crisis he did a special presentation which I not only performed and appreciated it... It really touched my heart and mind with some profound understanding. So with your permission on this day before the Yom Kippur celebration and commemoration, may I share with you the story and what it can mean for you and for me today!.

It's been said that there is a real epidemic of loneliness and that leads to depression and other things that affect our mental health and well-being. Today a new friend of mine, Bill Buck is our guest contributor to the Days of Awe and he has a number of good living insights that will help us. We are made for personal connection. That is often when we are at our best to help one another and by doing that actually helping ourselves. So join me for a few minutes of coaching and counseling on relationships that may help us not only be better at who we are but better in connecting with one another and then being more fully alive.

And what do you think that might mean. There are some people who don't believe in evil... Oh there are bad things and there certainly must be some bad people, but evil, not so sure. Well what do you believe and how does that impact how you view the world, how you live your life and the decisions you might make when confronted with things that are not very nice, not very good maybe, even very bad. Could it be that they are even worse than bad? Please give me a few minutes to think about this with you and see if it might be helpful to you and maybe we could help us to understand some things first of all about ourselves, and then how we should live our lives in relationship to others when things are really bad~

Of course, many people think of new year as a time for new beginnings and a resolution to be better, to lose weight, to get in shape, to stop smoking, to drink less, and to think of things that might be helpful to do to make things better. But in the Days of Awe ... We are challenged to do much more and in many cases we are challenged to do things that will improve the state of our soul, our state of mind, maybe even the very state of our being. My friend Joe Pine will remind us that it may be about a transformation and there may be some simple steps to begin, however we will need to not just begin but find the ways to sustain our growth, our spirit, and our good intentions to not only do better but be in better relationships with others and possibly even with God.

 This is a special edition radio program. The world has now heard about the catastrophe that took place from the hurricane and flooding that has smashed into large areas of the state of North Carolina. And the catastrophe continues and many people are still unaccounted for.  As a member of the Rotary clubs I was able to make contact with a fellow Rotarian who is located in the city of Asheville. Her name is Lacy Hagan Fortunately even though she's had a number of difficulties she is OK and doing fine and helping to rescue others and she had the ability to get through and we had a phone conversation in which she told us about what's going on and how difficult it is... And perhaps how we can be helpful. The motto of Rotary is service above self and they have been trying to more than live up to that at the present time, and obviously they will continue for a long time. And Lacy gave me the sad words that in many situations they now have gone from attempt to rescue to recovery. I invite you to listen to the 25 mi

So many people in my home state of North Carolina have been devastated it's been just awful. And the threatened war in the Middle East could be very awful. And yet we seek to have hope. This evening the new year begins for many and it is the hope of the new year that we will prepare ourselves to receive many blessings and share many blessings that are truly awesome. Here are a few suggestions that you might bring to others and share your wisdom insight and truth in ways that might change someone's life starting now in the Days of Awe!

As we post this program in the mid afternoon here on Tuesday, October 1, there is now a state of war between Israel and Iran. And this happens just as a number of us are celebrating the start of a new year and also doing so in a way that we are thinking reflecting and even praying about what the new year would be like and should be like.  So please hear me out for 10 minutes and hopefully you can contribute to some important understandings about what we should all be about right now during these Days of Awe~

Let me tell you right now that this story is exactly 60 minutes. And it is well worth your time to spend part of your weekend to listen to her story of how she started with nothing and created a national business all on her own with a little help, and then figured out how to live a life of generosity and service to others. And as she will tell you, she is no saint, but she is extraordinary and focused, and well coached and extremely resiliant and she learned how to be one of the 3% of the population who knows how to succeed in life. And as a woman in a man's industry, how well and powerfully she overcame the barriers and broke the walls that were necessary for her to succeed in a very challenging and difficult industry. She is wise and witty and fun to listen to, and you will learn a lot. I guarantee it.

When my wife and I realized that we were going to have to move from our wonderful home in Arizona so that we could be closer to our family and help with some of the special needs that they had. We were told by some of our friends in Arizona that North Carolina is really nice. So we found a place in a little town called Cary. And it has proved to be a wonderful place to live and we're very grateful that we can be here. And just in the recent days our town has been selected as one of the best places to live in the country and one of the reasons is the wonderful Town Park. And when our grandson comes to visit from New York City one of the first things he wants to do is .. "When are we going to the park grandpa?" So today I've asked Joy Ennis, the leader and manager of the park to come in and tell us the story, and I think it will be an inspiration to all of us. Maybe it will inspire you to renew your efforts to have a wonderful park in your community

I've been a longtime business performance coach for over 35 years. And one of the first questions I ask when someone ask me about getting coaching is, Are you serious!? Are you just shopping around, are you just interested, and that's fine, but I want to know how serious you are.  Because I take my responsibility as a coach very seriously and I want you, if we want to have a possible successful business and coaching relationship, we have to be serious. Well if you're serious then I'm going to encourage you to take time for a 50 minute session (you know kind of like therapy) to hear my story and then decide whether you want to have your first coaching session to discover just how powerful this whole process and experience can be. And you can pause between each part and come back later which is probably a pretty good idea So as we start the new year, let's see if we can help you, your leader ship team, your business be the very best they can be and have greater ideas insight influence impact and income.  That's

When we talk about transformations and tell transformation stories we increasingly want to talk about happy stories. A person or situation goes through a process and emerges as far better in place space or situation, But unfortunately we will sometimes discover that the transformation is not good and that bad and even evil things may have come from it. And let's visit the wisdom insight and truth of a mentor of mine who has some words to say about the most common thing in life for almost all of us... The deep reality of Pain ,,, this little transformational TED type talk just might be helpful to you today and maybe for every day to come.

What it is. ,,, and right now the terrorist who have those new electronic pages are finding out just how life can be.... And how in the world did that happen. Well let's take 15 minutes on this Wednesday define ways to live in an increasingly dangerous and risky world.

This is not meant to be political though some of you will interpret it that way because that's the way the world is working right now.  But I am not a political activist and I have one strong and firm statement of truth that I go by, Political solutions to our problems of life business and relationships are mostly illusions.  I am just an old guy standing by watching the world go by. But occasionally I speak out and this is one of them, Unfortunately there are very few people in the world that I really care about what they think.  One of them is a very wise and wonderful woman that I have known for many years and her name is Karen.  But anyone who has an opinion about something they don't know anything about or have experienced or studied and experience in a great detail really doesn't have a great deal of credibility with me. And I have a bit of a statement that says... Unless you have a lot of scars and stripes and walk with a limp there's a good chance you don't have a lot of wisdom to share with me, So t

 It's been known as an open secret for many years.  Many wise doctors practitioners and people of goodwill have known about it and practiced it and recommended it for many years.  But now the evidence and even the proof is overwhelming.... Spiritual development and living by faith are key elements that powerfully affect your physical, your emotional, mental, and even relational well-being. Our guests today has a worldwide reputation based on the research that he has done from Duke University and shared with people all over the world to conclusively show the wisdom and the power and the good things that will come to you when you seek to live by faith... And make your spiritual development a key point of how you live today, and how are you then might live forever. Join with me in enjoying a wonderful conversation with Dr. Harold.  

One of my mentors had a little ditty that he sometimes made us put into music and it went something like this. Remember there's something wrong with everything and nothing works all the time. When we build a business it's here on planet earth not on some heavenly place. Bad things happen and good things go bad and dreams and hopes and plans can go South... And sometimes even the best of ideas and the noblest of causes can cause a great movement of the people on purpose and that is wonderful. But today I want to warn you that your great and good movement could indeed turn into a mobster, a monster, a racket!

 Hundreds of thousands of people are making judgments about the debate most of them don't know what they're talking about. If you're not young and stupid you're going to be very careful and I usually tell people to wait 72 hours before you actually come to the time and perhaps the opinion that might be worth talking about, Then let's go to New York and we were very much as a family involved in the tragedy of 911... Let me tell you the story of how fearful and afraid we were on that terrible day. And then on a positive note can I give you some good advice on thefour S words about things you need to have if you want to be more effective and have real leadership abilities in the world of life and business and even in spirit and help today.

Today I had the privilege of just saying no no no no no many times.  I am so grateful that I could say no to almost everything.  Could I tell you the story of my gratitude... And yes I mean it, it's a very serious question.  Do you believe that it is possible that President Joe Biden will not vote for Kamala to be the next president? I don't know but I think it's very possible and again with your permission may I tell you the story.  You see, all of us are very flawed and broken people and we need to understand the human condition as best that we can so that we can live well and be a blessing to others. So I challenge you to take about 15 minutes to hear some of my radio wanderings and then I'd like to hear from you and then to ask you what is clear to you now!

So let me tell you why that is true and it has nothing to do with politics it has to do with media performance. And maybe that should be a lesson for you as something you might want to do differently in the new year that is before us, So please take some time to let me remind you of the power of being one of the 3% and how we can help you be one of those successful select three who know who they are, what they want, and they have a plan to take advantage of all the opportunities that are before them, and they live with greater courage boldness bravery and have less fear in their life. Let me offer you a number of opportunities that might be just right to make the next year your best ever and remind yourself that your last year's could also be the best of your life because you live an Encore experience.

Thank you for staying with us. This is episode three in our adventure of seeking to answer 20 powerful questions that will help us to better understand ourselves and what we want out of life, business, and our relationships with others. To be a transformation maker and guide it will be best for us to have a strong sense of self, maybe a sense of personal calling, and a way for us to focus our thoughts and energies on the things that truly matter and I are important to us and the ones we love and care for. So here we go with the final seven questions of the 20. So as we approach "the new year", which we believe begins in October, we will be ready to face the challenges and the opportunities of the year before us with renewed power, energy, and a powerful focus on what is important
