Bill Eddie

Listen to "Bill Eddie Releases Why We Elect Narcissists And Sociopaths" on Spreaker. WHY WE ELECT NARCISSISTS AND SOCIOPATHS – AND HOW WE CAN STOP!: In an age when the most dramatic personalities receive the most media coverage, it’s no wonder that we are seeing a growing number of high conflict personalities in politics. Whether they are creating imaginary crises or instigating dramatic conflicts with their opponents, high conflict politicians are not just monopolizing our attention, but they are also successfully seducing voters in cities and nations worldwide. In WHY WE ELECT NARCISSISTS AND SOCIOPATHS – AND HOW WE CAN STOP! (On sale May 21, 2019; Hardcover; Berrett-Koehler), lawyer, clinical social worker, and veteran mediator Bill Eddy explains how these dangerous, high-conflict personalities (HCPs) have taken leadership of governments. Using Hitler, Stalin, Putin, Berlusconi, Maduro, Nixon, Trump and others as case studies, Eddy shows how HCPs create or exacerbate conflict to manipulate our emotions and rise to power. According to Eddy, the key to understanding HCPs is their use of the Fantasy Crisis Triad, which always follows this formula: 1. There’s a terrible crisis! 2. It’s caused by this evil person or group. 3. I’m the only person who can solve it and save you. By convincing voters in this manner, high conflict politicians often capture 40% of the vote while dividing the majority. As a result, they frequently obtain the unlimited power that they seek. Fortunately, there are ways we can spot HCPs early on, respond to them effectively, and give our support to genuine leaders. In WHY WE ELECT NARCISSISTS AND SOCIOPATHS – AND HOW WE CAN STOP!, Eddy offers a checklist of forty behaviors to watch out for, as well as effective ways HCP opponents can assertively respond to their attacks. And for those who want to unify the majority, Eddy also offers actionable advice to encourage ambivalent voters, resisters, and moderates to join forces in order to help their nation elect a genuine leader. Written for those seeking to make better choices at the polls, as well as for those who want to encourage others to do the same, this invaluable guide not only illuminates why we elect dangerous leaders, but also empowers us to make better decisions for our nation’s future.

Last Crack

Listen to "Last Crack Releases The Up Rising" on Spreaker. Formed in 1987, LAST CRACK recorded its first five-song demo and was brought to the attention of legendary Roadrunner A&R man Monte Conner, who signed the band and sent them off to Prince's Paisley Park to begin work on their 1989 Roadrunner debut, Sinister Funkhouse #17. The album, aptly named after their practice/storage unit they rented outside of Madison. Dedicating hours of playing in a hot, sweaty garage with vocalist Buddo scribbling lyrics on the walls, the original lineup of Buddo, Don Bakken and Paul Schluter on guitars, Todd Winger on bass, and Phil Buerstatte on drums, LAST CRACK was more than ready to unleash its heavy/quirky sound and visions to the world With the release of "Funkhouse", LAST CRACK got the attention of the major metal magazines, and quickly developed a loyal fan base. Their sophomore effort, Burning Time, was recorded at Eldorado Studios in Hollywood with Dave Jerden, famed for recording iconic albums with JANE'S ADDICTION and ALICE IN CHAINS. The LP was met with critical acclaim and the band embarked on a tour of the U.S. and Europe. EMP's Thom Hazaert commented: "Growing up in Wisconsin, LAST CRACK coming out of Madison was such a huge deal. I remember Burning Time coming out, and it was like dynamite. They were really doing something that no one else was doing at the time. All the 'cool' kids loved them. They were always a band that was so ahead of their time, and it's a huge honor to release the follow-up to 'Burning Time', all these years later. Hopefully the world finally caught up." Fueled by conflicts and industry pressures the band broke up just months after the "Burning Time" tour had begun, leaving all wondering what happened. Buerstatte would go on to play drums for WHITE ZOMBIE, while Buddo, Paul, Don and Todd all continued performing in several popular regional bands in Wisconsin. In 2002, the band reunited with the original members, except for Buerstatte, who was replaced by Chris Havey. After releasing a live album with songs from both studio albums, LAST CRACK toured Iceland and the Netherlands, enjoying firsthand that they still had fans around the world. All five original band members were brought back together in November of 2009 for one date in Wisconsin. This would be the last time, as Buerstatte passed away in 2013.

The Smile In The Mirror

Listen to "That Smile In The Mirror" on Spreaker. We're all guilty of it. Shoving that fake smile through mood swings and attempts at making sure the show goes on. In the movie Rocketman, Elton John makes his challenges and unstoppable changes no hidden secret. The mirror serves as that one place of guidance. Once the eyes are locked onto the corners of your mouth putting on a clowns face, the ability to bring your capability forward rises to a comfort zone of "Lets get this thing over." Here's where most of us go wrong. We become addicted to the fake. There's only so much energy inside each of us and activating a fake smile uses up a lot of what's required to reach the end of the day. Where do you go when being fake is actually empty? On this podcast we cover that very subject. Learning how to be you rather than a fake you. It's ok to say "I am me. I have feelings. I have emotions." We've convinced ourselves that being happy all the time, even when it's fake is the only path to take. Fake happy comes with a price. No matter how tall the walls or high the mountains, the inability to bust through the moment forces us to start digging a hole to get beneath the blockage. The deeper the hole we make the more we should be reminded of how Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel eventually became stationary. Everything was being built around them. Where are you at with your fake smile? Here's something to think about. Authentic smiles affect the curves of your eyes. When you fake your smile your eyes to actually frown. It also infects your vocal inflection. Be aware of what you're putting out there. It would be a lot easier on you if you walked in truth. It's a journey to get there but well worth the experience.
