Invisible God
Listen to "Invisible God" on Spreaker.
Look. Don't take this as a negative but rather moving through the truths that stand before us by way of experience and awareness. Everyone of us are trying to survive inside a world created by an invisible God. On this podcast we go face first into a storm caused by false hopes and empowerments put into play by the physical act of hypnotizing ourselves into believing positive thinking is the only way to enjoy a sunrise. Once again this isn't a negative. It's learning to identify with those moments when your head and heart can't locate the right words to convince yourself to have a better day. Owning up to the moment doesn't mean you have to prepare for war. But we do. We lean on others to quickly rescue us. We reach for the Red Bull and chocolate then falsely and impatiently wait for a return on the investment. Every preacher on the planet will tell you God is everywhere. I get it. Then why isn't he present in your loss and emptiness? While writing this morning I stood back for a moment after placing these words on the page,"Are we to become empty because when we die we can't take any of it with us?" Not a negative. Awareness. A newer way to look at a path and way to still be alive in moments of doubt, guilt, shame and whatever else we are carrying. A couple of months back I stopped telling people that my heart is always open. You don't have room for more. Begin a journey of letting others know that you are clearing your mind body and soul. Mindfully we don't have to wander through these unwritten chapters. Be present in your now and grow forward with courage and confidence. Survive in this world created by an invisible God.

A New Walk
Listen to "A New Walk" on Spreaker.
Meditation is something many speak of but disconnect from because it's extremely difficult to tune out of life. Anyone that admits they have fourteen different voices in their head and heart at the same time is a person connected to reality. The reason why we don't dump them is because every now and then that message maker has led you into areas of victory. How then can we get in control of what's making you feel out of control. On this podcast we talk about how to change what you think is meditation. There are no written rules that say you have to sit on the floor with your legs cross and your palms pointed upward. Just as much as you don't have to bring your hands to your lips while praying. I daily write because it's meditation. So much energy is moving through each of us at speeds we can't identify. Stream thinking has taught me to trust the present. Be alive in the moment. Don't judge and or fear. Just write. Whatever. Let the source of empowerment move through your gift of being present. In the beginning it might be about dark times, fear and guilt but with everyday practice you'll be amazed at how purifying meditation writing is to every step you bring forward. I write at 4:30 every morning. Never in the mood. Willing to show up. I write a second time in a completely different book at 3:00 pm. It's to de-frag. To let go of what the fourteen different voices dumped on the parade. Don't be afraid to leave your journals on the coffee table. Who cares if someone opens your chapters and reads it. It's called communication. Share your writing by way of allowing yourself to clear your heart.

Maelyn Jarmon
Listen to "Maelyn Jarmon From NBC's The Voice" on Spreaker.
Maelyn has always loved music, despite facing some challenges. At 2 years old, she had tubes inserted into her ears to treat recurring ear infections. The tubes ultimately damaged her eardrums and left her deaf in her right ear and with only 80% hearing in the left ear. But that didn't stop her. At 13, Maelyn started voice lessons and became heavily involved in musical theater. At 17, she was encouraged to try Broadway and her parents moved with her to New York City to give it a shot. At 21, she stepped away from Broadway and is now focusing on creating original music.
Danny Goldberg
Listen to "Danny Goldberg Releases Serving The Servant Remembering Curt Cobain" on Spreaker.
On the twenty-fifth anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death comes a new perspective on one of the most compelling icons of our time. With candor, honesty, and empathy, Danny Goldberg, one of Nirvana's managers from 1990 to 1994, shares his memories of his brief but momentous time with Kurt and the band in SERVING THE SERVANT: Remembering Kurt Cobain (Ecco; On sale April 2, 2019; $28.99, 304 pages; ISBN 978-0-06-286150-4). The result is a fresh and frank portrait of an icon unlike any that has come before. When top music manager Danny Goldberg agreed to take on Nirvana, a critically acclaimed new band from the underground music scene in Seattle, he had no idea that the band's leader, Kurt Cobain, would become a pop-culture icon with a legacy arguably at the level of that of John Lennon, Michael Jackson, or Elvis Presley. Danny worked with Kurt from 1990 to 1994, the most impactful period of Kurt's life. This key time saw the stratospheric success of Nevermind, which turned Nirvana into the most successful rock band in the world and made punk and grunge household terms; Kurt's meeting and marriage to the brilliant but mercurial Courtney Love and their relationship that became a lightning rod for critics; the birth of their daughter, Frances Bean; and, finally, Kurt's public struggles with addiction, which ended in a devastating suicide that would alter the course of rock history. Throughout, Danny stood by Kurt's side as manager, and close friend.
Drawing on Goldberg's own memories of Kurt, files that previously have not been made public, and interviews with, among others, Kurt's close family (including Courtney Love), friends, and former bandmates (including Krist Novoselic), SERVING THE SERVANT sheds an entirely new light on these critical years. Casting aside the common obsession with the angst and depression that seemingly drove Kurt, SERVING THE SERVANT is an exploration of his brilliance in every aspect of rock and roll, his compassion, his ambition, and the legacy he wrought-one that has lasted decades longer than his career did. Danny Goldberg also explores what it is about Kurt Cobain that still resonates today, even with a generation who wasn't alive until after Kurt's death.

The Beauty Of The Everyday
Listen to "The Beauty Of The Everyday" on Spreaker.
Those evil blocks. Invisible particles of a past we can't change and a future we can't seem to reach. Blocks. It's too easy to bring up meditation and or spirituality to get you through this mess upon a journey that feels out of control. On this podcast the goal is to put focus only on the moment. Right here right now. It's truly the only thing you have control of. I was invited to lecture the other night. I play a game called Who The Hell Are You And Why The Hell Are You Here. A guest strongly told her story, "I hate my job. I can't stand who I work with. I need to find a place that will accept me for me." Oh boy many of us have been there or are currently experiencing such a walk. If more decision makers could see the enormous amount of people they've injured the workplace would change. They are the designers of the blocks, the walls, the pathless walks of so many who have the ability to activate their greater gifts but have been brutalized by leaders protected by ZipRecruiter and Indeed. For the average person the idea of your dreams being halted leaves wide gaps in the future performance. Getting through this storm means dealing with your present. Being in the Now. Remove yourself from the days of where you once stood and stay completely clear of a future that has no idea who you are until you get there. Being present in your moment of Now helps you construct a firm foundation of delivery. It's not an overnight victory. It's an ongoing trust that must be activated in all things you do. Stay away from the trigger points. Become aware of your value. Take a left turn at your current block and make things right.

Domenic Haynes
Listen to "Domenic Haynes From NBC's The Voice" on Spreaker.
Domenic was raised in an athletic household with a mom who was a track star and a football-standout dad. Domenic won every track meet he competed in until a hamstring injury during his freshman year of high school prevented him from running for two years. He turned to music and quickly fell in love with singing and songwriting. In his senior year, Domenic was able to run again and made it to state qualifiers. He planned to run track in college while working toward a scholarship to USC School of Music, but that plan is on hold while he pursues music full time.
