    CHLOE ANGYAL GONE GOOD - PART 2

    Sometimes Chloe Angyal simply asks, 'Why not?' As in why not write a marriage proposal in the form of a blog to a man she sees deliver a speech on TV that inspires her? As long as she's writing stuff, why not give writing romance novels a try? And hey, why not get a doctorate in rom-coms for that matter? Spoiler Alert: She's now married to that man she proposed to via a blog posting, she's written three romance novels (and 1 non-fiction book), and she got that PHD so you can call her Dr. Chick Flick and she happily accepts that title. Is Chloe's life normal? Before you answer that, follow question: Is YOUR life normal? Life is whatever we want it to be. And in Chloe Angyal's case, it's gone from Australia to Iowa where she's now helping her husband, Iowa State Senator Zach Wahls, run for a US Senate seat this November. Remember our slogan for 2026? SAY YES. Chloe is definitely saying yes. This is part 2 of our oh-so-good conversation. _____________________________ Come see Steve in person at SLIDESHOW: IN COLOR! launching in London on May 3rd.

    PAGE GONE GOOD

    Doug Page loves books. So much so he built his own site to share his love of them, Books by Page (how perfectly did that work out?). He's here to share the good of stories and storytellers, reporting the news versus offering your own personal commentary, and whether he's pro or con when it comes to audio books. Doug spent his career bringing the news to the people. Now he's spending his time bringing reviews and insights into the books he's come to love, old and new. Hey, what good book are you reading right now? Shout out to WGG supporter and three-time former guest, Wendy Miller, for hooking us up with today's good guest. ____________________________________________ Steve’s third book in his cozy mystery series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES is finally here: SEASON’S SLAYINGS!

    APPSTINENCE GONE GOOD

    Gabriela Nguyen helps people break their overreliance on cell phones and social media to venture offline and become self-empowered again. With over 40% of American social media users ages 18 - 22 feeling addicted and 50% of British teens reporting the same signs, she has her work cut out for her. And she's doing it all through her company, Appstinence, and their 5 D process: decrease, deactivate, deflect, downgrade, and depart. Gabriela isn't just texting the text (see what we did there?), she's walking the walk having been an enthusiastic social media user herself, she now has what she calls a 'dumb' phone (not a smart phone - get it?). “It's not a utopian fantasy of like, ‘Oh, if only I could run out into the woods and leave all my technology behind and get off social media and reinvent myself,' she says, "It's something that people are actually doing.” We talk about how her dad tossed the family TV when she was a child, what it feels like to connect with others on a human level and not through our phones, and what she is saying yes to in 2026 (remember, SAY YES is our motto for the year). Are you ready to connect yourself with this brand new episode? _________________ Steve’s third book in his cozy mystery series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES is finally here: SEASON’S SLAYINGS!

    CINNAMON TRUST GONE GOOD

    Rima Jalba shares the good of the Cinnamon Trust, the UK national charity for older people, the terminally ill and their pets. The mission is as simple as it is clear: they provide hands-on assistance to pet owners across the country when any aspect of the day-to-day care of their pets poses a problem; as well as the provision of lifelong care for pets who outlive their owners. A life-long animal lover herself, Rima shares everything from her first pet as a child to how she made a life change, choosing to work for connection rather than just a paycheck. And that's exactly what brought her to the Cinnamon Trust's (doggie) door. For the animal lovers out there (just like us) and for anyone looking for inspiration on how to engage within your own community, this good one is for you. ___________________________ Steve’s third book in his cozy mystery series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES is finally here: SEASON’S SLAYINGS!

    JEFFREY DESKOVIC GONE GOOD - PART 2

    Jeffrey Deskovic's life changed forever when he was convicted of a murder he did not commit at just 17 years old. He maintained his innocence for the next 16 years and then, with the help of the Innocence Project, the real person responsible was finally caught and Jeff was released from prison. Now you may be asking yourself, 'Hey, how is this a GOOD story?' The answer is found in what Jeff did after this all happened: He went to law school, became an attorney and founded the Deskovic Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the exoneration of the wrongfully convicted, their recovery, and reform of the system. This is one person's journey from the darkest of places to finding and creating his own light and we gotta tell ya, it doesn't get much more inspiring than this. Today's episode is Part 2 of 2. ________________________ Steve’s third book in his cozy mystery series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES is finally here: SEASON’S SLAYINGS!

    CHRISTINE WHISLER GONE GOOD

    Christine Whisler went from reporting the bad news to spreading some good news through her company Southern Palm Communications in Tampa, Florida. She helps companies - specifically philanthropies - find and uplift their own good voice. That's what she came on to join us to talk about - and yes, we do - but then something else happened, right in the moment, when she went to answer a question about expectations. And that something turned into pure magic as she shares how she took one of the most difficult moments of her life - losing her mother - and one of the happiest moments - her own wedding - and blended them together in the most unexpected way. For this time we are living through, where there is so much darkness around us, listen to her journey, how she found and spread the light, and how you may be able to do it for yourself. Let the inspiration continue... ________________ Steve’s third book in his cozy mystery series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES is finally here: SEASON’S SLAYINGS!
