His mentoring program has greatly contributed to the success of many of his followers. Dennis has a new book, Real Impact, Daily Inspiration , and I am very impressed with his structure and important ideas.

Show Notes Today I am excited to chat with Lata Hamilton, a 3-time guest on the show, who is in the process of releasing her very first book, Pioneer Your Career Change . I am loving Lata’s view that while your new career change begins as a Business Decision for the employer and is most often a Personal Decision for you. However, Lata proposes that you understand your career change as a Business Decision as well. As you will discover today, the dynamics and approach are very different. Remember,...

Show Notes Today we revisit Wendy Hooper Ross to conclude our show on the subject of Understanding Fear. Wendy is an expert in residential real estate (as you discovered in Part One last week), but it is also obvious that Wendy is an expert on life, from both the thinking and feeling perspectives. Last week we started out to talk about fear in life as we considered four areas: home ownership, relationships, careers, and voting in this next presidential election. We discussed, in depth, the self-...

Show Notes Today I visit with a recent guest Wendy Hooper Ross. Wendy is an expert in residential real estate. She devotes much of her time to understanding the current and future states of the real estate market in the United States. Her insights are brilliant. Now, while in our conversations about real estate, Wendy and I happened to land on the subject of the role of fear and control in the hearts of Americans. As we chatted, I realized this is a topic we need to discuss on The Next Chapter w...

Show Notes One thing I find about my life today… I live in a world of distractions. I may have plans for the day, but other stuff just seems to come up. First there are the external distractions of emails, phone calls, unexpected appointments and less than important interruptions. But even more disrupting are the Internal Distractions of fear and anxiety and feelings of overwhelm—all resulting in a lack of confidence. It’s surprising we get anything done in any given day. Our special guest today...

Show Notes As you might guess, I live in an interior world of creativity and imagination. That’s why I love to ponder. Yes, I spend a good portion of my day thinking about what is and, more importantly, what might be. Every now and again, I come across an idea that I am not sure what to do with. That’s when I make a phone call to my “go-to” thinkers who also love to ponder challenging topics. Of course I almost always put in a call to my friend Terry Hershey. And then when it comes to deep-think...

Show Notes Today, with special guest Dave Buck, we will chat about the details of retirement... mostly details not having to do with finances. In his new book, The Time Optimized Life , our guest David Buck writes… “Retirement usually represents a significant change in lifestyle. Most traditional planning leading up to retirement centers on having the necessary financial resources to last the remainder of a person’s lifespan. However, much less focus is placed on how one lives and the time when ...

Show Notes Hi Paul. My guest today, author and Zen Master, Nora D’Ecclesis joins us to discuss her latest fiction, The Contessa’s Legacy. Beginning in Pompeii, 79 AD, Nora guides us through 2000 years of a history of resilience, perseverance, and commitment—all for the sake of what she calls, “Generational Legacy.” The story moved me, but not as much as the ideology—so much for those of us that live in our heads and hearts. What is required for a passionate mother to leave with her family the ve...

Show Notes Today’s show is one I have been looking forward since the publication of our guest’s new book: Unfolding Light ! I can’t wait for conversation with poet and mystic Steve Garnaas-Holmes.

Let’s let his conversation carry us away in love and wonder and the art of paying attention. LINKS Please check out Steve Garnaas-...

Show Notes Yikes, Paul. This Summer has been delightfully eventful. I will be or have been out of state or country for nearly seven weeks in July and August. Visiting seven countries and two states, with a couple of 3-day trips to the Abbey for retreat and spiritual direction. All I can say is… Yippee for the retired life! Hmm… someday we’ll do a show on meaningful retirement. It’s sooo cool! My guest today is another very diligent and busy retired guy. Rand Selig has an MBA from Stanford and un...

Show Notes Well, here I sit, back from 3 weeks on a northern Europe cruise and a few days in Cambridge, England. I love travel, except I got home last night, and I am still on England time and a wee bit fatigued. But I promised our most special guest my best. Which won’t be difficult at all because she is a tremendous guest. So much fun! In my opinion, our guest today, Suzanne Campi ranks as a premier personal life coach for those of you looking for wisdom in life’s most challenging transitions....

Show Notes Our guest today, Kathleen Joan, is a certified life coach and first-time author of a somewhat controversial book titled, From Goo to Gratitude . It’s controversial because she challenges some traditional lifestyle requirements of a very conservative religious faith tradition. But her science, which will be the focus of our show, is fascinating as we dive into the depths of what Kathleen calls “cellular recognition”—that cells can be open or closed—and how that impacts personal transfo...

Show Notes Today I thought I might explore a few thoughts I have wrestled with recently about discovering God in a fresh and ever more realistic fashion. A discovery based not on our expectations of how God might act, but on our reception to a God of unexpected relationships, of quiet relationships. Oh, I am tempted to go into deep theology at this time, but I won’t. Instead I want to tell a couple stories. I am will begin with, an… I don’t know… like a nearly three-thousand-year-old story of th...

Show Notes Today is a special show for me. That’s because I have a gifted friend willing to step in when I need him. Due to a last-minute cancellation of a show with a pre-planned guest, Terry stepped right up to help. So, we have a most interesting show with little prep time. In a recent Sabbath Moment post Terry Hershey wrote this, “ I believe in the healing power of revisiting. Because sometimes we need stories more than food to stay alive. They remind us of what really matters and allow us t...

Show Notes Our guest today, Pat Wetzel, is a blogger, soaring pilot, and award-winning author of a book titled Bump in the Road . And, oh by the way, Pat also holds a degree from the Wharton Business School in Finance. It was almost 2 years ago that Pat and I did on show on “soaring,” which means flying an airplane (solo) with no engine or in other words… gliding. Pat is an avid soarer and much, much more. And, since that show, we have become dear friends. Pat is an enggaing and “very curious” c...

Show Notes I’ve been reading… books and essays (or blogs). I recently read two articles that seemed to spawn sort of delightful potpourri of thought and conjecture. One was an article on author Henry Miller by Maria Popova and the other came from recent Terry Hershey Sabbath Moment posts. These are the kinds of ideas that, for me, demand discussion. So today, I’ve asked friend, author, and creative thinker Terry Hershey to ponder with me on several kinds of non-related subjects such as Storm Hom...

Show Notes Hey Paul. Did you know that our guest today, Taryn Voget, is responsible for birthing our podcast, The Next Chapter with Charlie . This show was all Taryn’s idea. After she and I had lunch at a client’s cafeteria, she said something like, “Charlie, you ask such good questions, you should do a podcast.” That was 7 years ago, and today we are on show #319! But that’s what Taryn does… she brings the best out of people and very often that best is about something that feels like a surprisi...

Joseph Drolshagen shares a convincing argument of the value of difficulty and how to use that difficulty for shaping the life you really want. The two questions Joseph asks every client are: (1) Where are you now” And, (2) Where do you want to be? He believes the answer to the second question, “Who do you want to be?” always comes down to a matter of personal vision. We address...

Show Notes Our guest today, Lata Hamilton, is an inspiring Change Leadership and Confidence Expert, and the creator of “the Leading Successful Change Program” for Businesses, largely in Australia, although she has several international clients as well. In conversation with Lata, I came to realize that changes in business can only occur when individual people in the company change first. Change, therefore, is as much personal as it is corporate. As a millennial, Lata embraces corporate as well as...

Show Notes Living in the Orange County Bubble, many of us are unfamiliar with the personal and economic struggles that many (if not most) Americans face on a daily basis. In my personal bubble I read that the market is great, but gas prices are up, and with those words I seem to feel that I have a grasp on our everyday economic state of affairs. Huh? It seems I have had my feet planted in mid-air. Did you know that very few Americans even have a meaningful investment in stocks. 93% of all stocks...

Although in our generation gaps, we have many common habits and values. Still, there are also significant differences, especially when it comes to “how to live your life.” My guest today, Tom Yankle, is an older millennial (at 40) who has a deep experience-based understanding of how people in the ages ...
