    An Odyssey of Self: The Life and Lessons of a Wandering Scholar - Robert W. Norris : 129

    An Odyssey of Self: The Life and Lessons of a Wandering Scholar - Robert W. Norris : 129

    Join us as we listen to Robert W. Norris, who shares the chapters of his life's novel. His experiences span continents and cultures, from the Redwood forests of Northern California to the bustling streets of Fukuoka, Japan. Robert's tapestry of experiences weaves a tale of adventure, identity, and the undying influence of a mother's love.

    Robert was born and raised in Humboldt County, California. In 1969, he joined the Air Force but became a conscientious objector to the Vietnam War. He served in a military prison for refusing to fight in the war. In his twenties, he travelled across the United States, went to Europe twice, and made one journey around the world. In 1983, he moved to Japan, eventually becoming a professor at a private university. He spent two years as the dean of students and retired in 2016 as a professor emeritus. He is the author of three novels, a novella, and over 20 research papers on teaching. His most recent book, "The Good Lord Willing and the Creek Don't Rise: Pentimento Memories of Mom and Me," is his life story and tribute to his mother. Robert and his wife live near Fukuoka, Japan.

    At every crossroad and challenge, Robert saw an opportunity to grow and redefine what it means to be home. His narrative takes us through the old hippie trail, the cultural shocks of reverse migration, and the embrace of a foreign land that eventually offered the sense of belonging he sought. His story is punctuated by the books that guided him, the family dynamics that shaped him, and the personal convictions that propelled him forward. Through Robert's eyes, we discover that home isn't always a place—it's where we find pieces of ourselves.

    As we conclude our conversation, Robert shares the profound lessons on contentment and purpose he learned through suffering and the pursuit of happiness. Our discussion transcends the material, touching on the cross-cultural insights he gained from a life spent around the world and the tranquillity he found in his later years.
    Let's enjoy his story!

    From Worrier to Warrior: A Journey of Transformation - Martin Salama : 127

    From Worrier to Warrior: A Journey of Transformation - Martin Salama : 127

    My guest is Martin Salama. Martin shares a deeply personal story about his journey, which began with a tragic event that shaped his life at a young age - the loss of his brother Michael. This heartbreaking experience sparked Martin's profound desire to bring happiness to others, often at the expense of his own well-being. Despite his best intentions, this compulsion to make others happy took a toll on Martin, leading to personal struggles, the collapse of his business finances, and strained relationships.

    Martin is known as the Architect of The Warriors' L.I.F.E. Code. His book is Worrier To Warrior: 7 Steps to Uncover The Warrior Within and Live Incredibly Full Everyday.
    He specializes in helping frustrated people quickly shift their mindsets to uncover their greatness so they can live up to their true potential and enjoy life!

    Martin's transformation, aided by therapy and coaching, takes center stage as he imparts wisdom from his experiences and those of his life-coaching clients. He illuminates the path from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance, from a posture of anxiety to one of empowerment, to find balance and prioritize one's happiness.

    From Success to Fulfillment - A Quest for Authentic Purpose - Vince Kramer : 126 PART 1

    Ever found yourself questioning the very foundation of your purpose and happiness, despite a seemingly successful life? Vince's gripping narrative is a testament to this universal quest as he walks us through the profound transformation from a life of material success to one of deep spiritual fulfillment. His early ambition to help others love themselves, influenced by the competitive spirit instilled by his father and grandfather, initially led him down a path of notable achievements in military and commercial aviation. Yet, beneath the veneer of accomplishment lay an unquenchable thirst for true self-awareness.

    Vince Kramer is a military veteran and an airline pilot. He is now also a transformational trainer, speaker, teacher, mentor, and best-selling author of "Awakening Through Moments of Choice: A Memoir of Divine Guidance." He co-founded Imagine Miracles and believes that everyone can create their own life.

    As we unravel Vince's story, we see how life's unexpected challenges, including the aftermath of 9/11 and personal losses, became the catalysts for his self-discovery. Vince's journey beautifully illustrates the power of self-reflection. His quest pushes him to question long-held beliefs and bravely step into the realm of possibilities that come with embracing one's authentic self.
    Vince shares his transformative journey and reveals the courage it takes to follow one's true purpose.
    Let's enjoy his story!
