    A fantastic conversation with Marlon Marrache, host of "The Marlon Marrache Show”

    Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. I feel as if I start every intro with, “A few weeks ago, a publicist emailed me about….” But it’s true, and I love it. So, I get this email about a retired cop who’s a podcast host (these retired cops, is that all they do?) who was with LAPD Internal Affairs. Would I like to interview him? Well, what cop could refuse an offer to flip the script and put IA in the hot seat? Little did I know he’d flip the script back with the oldest trick in the book: getting my name wrong. I hope you enjoy the episode. After you listen, tell me what you think of Martin. Whoops, I meant Marlon. He didn’t realize I was a police officer until about three-quarters of the way through the interview. Up until that point, he was keeping his language PG. Once he found out, the curse words flew. Such a fun interview and a fantastic guy. Make sure you check him out on YouTube, IG, and his website, which I’ll link in the description. Here's "The Marlon Marrache Show" YouTube link: ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTkpEPUwRpbaMMLb1saX9zA Follow him on Instagram: ⬇️⬇️⬇️ @themarracheshow And on the web: ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://www.bluconsultinginc.com/ So until next time, take care of one another, and as always, thanks for listening.

    The things we love the most give us the most trouble - A delightful conversation with author Neil Adams

    Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. A few weeks ago, I received an email from a publicist (long-time listeners may have noticed that I often start my intros with this sentence) asking if I’d like to interview author Neil Adams. Neil, the publicist wrote,  had written his debut novel, From the Pile, A 9/11 First Responder Story, and would I be interested in interviewing him. Long-time listeners will also know my response: Absolutely, I would. So, here he is. I hope you enjoy our conversation. After you listen, let me know what you think of Neil. I can’t wait to have him back on. And not just because he’s one of the few guests who is older than me. His perspective on life and the best way to live it is exactly why I created this podcast. This crazy world needs more people like Neil, and I hope that his joy and zest for life inspire others to feel the same way he does.

    Burying a body with Meghann Holloway - An eye-opening conversation about resilience

    Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. As many of you know, I’m on the Peer Support Team for my agency, and from time to time, we have amazing people who come speak to our group. After they’re done, I corner them and ask them if they’d like to be a guest on my podcast. Meghann Holloway is one such amazing person, and here she is. I hope you enjoy our conversation. After you listen, tell me what you think of Meghann? She’s incredible, right? Among the many things that truly impresses me about Meghann is the love she has for all first responders and her take on positivity. When you really think about it, she nails what the core of positivity is. Not that life won’t put you in horrible situations, but when they happen, you’ll survive and come out the other side.  Now that, in my opinion, is life-changing. I’d like to thank Meghann for coming on the podcast, and I can’t wait to have her on again. And as always, I’d like to thank you for listening and supporting me and my mission. Until next time, take care of each other and treat each other with kindness and respect.

    A light to follow - An amazing conversation with Chief Melinda Linas

    Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. Recently, I was at an officer wellness conference in New Orleans, as I mentioned in a previous episode. Another amazing speaker was Chief Melinda Linas, from the Lindenhurst (IL) Police Department. I could tell you about what she talked about, but instead, let’s jump right into my chat with this amazing person. I hope you enjoy our conversation. After you've listened, let me know what you think about Chief Linas. I know that I sound like a broken record every time I say this, but I am astounded by the amount of strength people have as they navigate through life’s struggles. Chief Linas has been through so much, but she still refuses to walk away from the career that she loves, and she does it to help people; her officers and the community that they serve. She’s truly the light in so many lives. Until next time, take care of one another, and thanks for listening.

    USAF Veteran, Special Agent and Author - A conversation with Derrick M. Jackson

    Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. A couple of weeks ago, I got an email from a publicist asking if I’d like to interview an author who retired from the US Air Force as a Special agent. Let’s see, do I want to interview an author, a veteran AND a special agent? Yes, yes, and hell yes. So here he is. I hope you enjoy our conversation. After you listen, let me know what you think of Derrick. It blows my mind that despite not being an avid reader, he’s written two books and is working on a 3rd! He’s such a nice guy, too. Right when he answered the phone, I could tell by his voice that he was smiling and just enjoying life. The world needs a lot more people just like Derrick. It was an honor having him on as a guest, and I sure do hope he comes back. Follow Derrick on Instagram here: djakz27 And on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/SHADOW-ONE-DERRICK-JACKSON-ebook/dp/B0DFVNN3GD/ref=sr_1_1?crid=GOMK3E99A0OF&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.BFzBl3PD1jyIdSRKjSoEH2Sc2O2Qz9lIz3glgYkHfYwrtaFEY8kCkK7NaSKnxPR5vSTByALx-4kkspTsqm-JuE4CMP3-e0R5Kf6gaxY6lnShynC-UrwqoZSN5pelLHOv6pTHkZZH5QHc45aG805Wk9fvx-J5yFIyq7eZDu72GmNy0qvWdSkWEwf1x2c1CAZ_8jPglbXL6r4gDvv9yFBTRj55QRsVOUwVAcwvRtjLm44.6V0L9c0PPCCzSmsqObSSEqxOG4abEfEZXx_g7OU4qok&dib_tag=se&keywords=derrick+jackson&qid=1772148696&sprefix=%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-1 I hope you come back, too.

    A Fascinating conversation with Dr. David Woo, author of his debut novel, Merry-Go-Round Broke Down: A Novel of Guilt, Greed & Globalization.

    Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. A few weeks ago, I got an email from a publicist asking if I’d like to interview Dr. David Woo, an economist, investment strategist, and former head of macro strategy at Bank of America. Oh, and he’d also just written a novel and lives in Israel. So was I interested? What I was was intimidated. I haven’t the slightest knowledge about economics or macro investments, though I am an avid reader. So I replied to her and told her that I’d absolutely be interested in talking to Dr. Woo, but to please let him know that my podcast is primarily about positivity and ask if he’d still like to be a guest. She replied that he sure would, and here he is.I hope you enjoy our conversation. After you listen, tell me what you think of Dr. Woo. Truth be told, before most of my episodes with new guests, I’m always a bit nervous making that call to connect with them for the interview. The nervousness was intensified with Dr. Woo because of my lack of knowledge about globalization, but within the first minute or so of the conversation, my nervousness disappeared because Dr. Woo is so friendly and down-to-earth. Plus, his novel sounds classically exciting, so I can’t wait to check it out. I’d like to thank Dr. Woo for taking the time out of his schedule to talk to me, and wish him the best of luck on his novel and any future Hollywood or Netflix deals that are just around the corner. Check out Dr. Woo's website here ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://www.davidwoounbound.com/ And his YouTube page here ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://www.youtube.com/c/davidwoounbound And, as always, I’d like to thank you for listening, and I hope you continue to do so. Until next time, take care of one another, and thanks for listening.

    Spiritual and Centered- Another endearing conversation with Donna Mensah.

    Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. I’m thrilled to have back on the show, Donna Mensah, from the UK. Donna is one of my all-time favorite people, and we connected through Instagram. The first time we spoke was, unbelievably, four years ago, so we were long overdue to catch up. I hope you enjoy our conversation. After you listen, be honest.... Did you miss Donna as much as I did? Of course you did. I swear it doesn’t seem possible that it’s been four years since we’ve spoken, but time just hurtles by. I sincerely love Donna’s attitude, her laugh, and, of course, her accent. And I plan on having her on again sooner rather than later. We all need someone like Donna in our lives, and I feel lucky that she’s in mine. You can find Donna on Instagram: donnamensahauthor And check her out on YouTube under her stage name, Donna St. Louis, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIAcCE9OiQ0 I’m also lucky to have all of you as listeners. I truly appreciate the time you spend listening to my guests and I and I hope you continue to do so. Until next time, take care of one another, appreciate the wonderful people in your life, and as always, thanks for listening.

    Who's got the bigger mustache? An amazing conversation with Cinnamon Reiheld.

    Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. A few weeks ago, I was at an officer wellness conference in New Orleans. At this conference, there were multiple workshops to attend, and I sat in on some good ones and some not-so-good ones. My co-workers caught a great one hosted by an amazing trauma therapist named Cinnamon Reiheld and told me that I should try to get her on my podcast. So, here she is. I hope you enjoy our conversation. After you listen, let me know what you think. She’s awesome, right? Here’s someone who’s not a first responder and doesn’t have first responders in her family, yet she’s chosen a career path to help first responders get through the trauma in their lives. And this episode is just scratching the surface of what Cinnamon has to offer. So make sure you come back for more episodes with Cinnamon, and make sure you check out her podcast, After The Tone Drops. Here's the link ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://www.afterthetonesdrop.co/ Until next time, take care of one another, listen to and respect each other, and as always, thanks for listening.
