    Dr. Michael Kosoy on The Ten Dimensions of Kabbalistic Biology, CDC & More

    Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with retired CDC research biologist, scientist, and author Dr. Michael Kosoy. For more than 25 years, Dr. Kosoy worked at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), studying infectious diseases that emerge in nature and affect human populations. His research took him to more than 30 countries and spanned disciplines ranging from molecular genetics and microbiology to ecology and large-scale ecosystem analysis. Throughout his distinguished scientific career, he authored more than 200 peer-reviewed publications that continue to influence research worldwide. In this conversation, we explore his thought-provoking 2026 book, The Ten Dimensions of Kabbalistic Biology: A Scientist's Guide to Entering the Invisible World of Life. Drawing on decades of scientific investigation, Dr. Kosoy proposes that biology cannot be fully understood through observable data alone. He argues that unseen dimensions of life may play an important role in shaping health, disease, evolution, and ecosystems. We discuss the intersections of science and philosophy, the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, the limitations of conventional biological models, and the possibilities that emerge when scientific inquiry is combined with broader perspectives on life and nature. From his base in Colorado, Dr. Kosoy shares a fascinating journey that bridges rigorous scientific research with profound questions about the invisible forces shaping our world.

    Black, Gay, Christian & Done Hiding with Shermain Melton | Success, Faith and Finding Your Voice

    Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with author, entrepreneur, speaker, and truth-teller Shermain Melton. Shermain's story is one of resilience, faith, courage, and authenticity. Growing up surrounded by poverty, gun violence, and drug activity, he overcame extraordinary circumstances to become a self-made, debt-free millionaire. Along the way, he faced another profound challenge: reconciling his Christian faith with the reality of being a gay man in communities that often rejected him for living his truth. For years, Shermain struggled with the feeling that he was being asked to choose between faith and authenticity. The journey cost him friendships, business opportunities, and acceptance in certain circles, but it ultimately led him to a deeper understanding of purpose, self-worth, and freedom. As the author of The Loneliness of the Accomplished Black Man, Shermain explores success, identity, survivor's guilt, and the hidden struggles that often accompany achievement. Today, he encourages others to stop shrinking themselves to fit into spaces that were never designed for them and instead live boldly and authentically. From his base in Phoenix, Arizona, we discuss faith, entrepreneurship, success, identity, resilience, personal growth, and the power of embracing who you truly are. This is an honest, moving, and inspiring conversation you won't want to miss.

    Wear Joy Method Creator Casey Lum on Confidence, Wellness & The Fashion Wellness Revolution

    Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with keynote speaker, image coach, wellness advocate, and creator of the Wear Joy Method, Casey Lum. Casey is leading what she calls the Fashion Wellness Revolution, helping people rethink the relationship between clothing, confidence, mental well-being, and self-expression. While fashion is often viewed as superficial, Casey believes it can be one of the most powerful wellness tools available when approached with intention and awareness. Through her signature Wear Joy Method, she teaches women how to transform their daily closet experience from a source of stress, overwhelm, and self-criticism into a ritual that fosters confidence, clarity, energy, and focus. Her approach centers on the idea that personal style is not about buying more—it is about understanding yourself more deeply and aligning your outward appearance with your inner values. In this conversation, we discuss fashion psychology, mental health, confidence, self-image, consumer culture, personal transformation, and why something as simple as getting dressed each morning can create a powerful ripple effect throughout an entire day. From her base in Los Angeles, Casey shares insights into her journey, her mission, and the growing movement helping people discover greater joy through intentional style choices.

    Author & Executive Coach Adam Tilove on Why Brilliant People Can't Get Started

    Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with author, executive coach, educator, and founder of NeuroDiscipline, Adam Tilove. Adam is the author of the book Split Second: Stop Stalling, Start Doing, a groundbreaking exploration of the half-second between deciding and acting—a moment where countless dreams, projects, and ambitions either move forward or quietly disappear. A former Head of School and Certified Executive Coach, Adam works with high-performing professionals who often find themselves trapped by procrastination, perfectionism, and unfinished ideas. His NeuroDiscipline framework helps people understand why even the most talented and intelligent individuals struggle to take action and how they can reclaim momentum. One of the most powerful moments in Adam's story came when he rediscovered a second-grade report card from 1980. His teacher had written: "Brilliant projects falling by the wayside." Forty-six years later, the observation still resonated deeply. That realization helped inspire a lifetime of learning, growth, and ultimately the creation of a system designed to help others overcome the same challenges. Today, Adam is three years sober and dedicates his work to helping professionals stop stalling, build consistency, and finish what matters most. From his base in Overland Park, Kansas, we discuss personal transformation, executive coaching, sobriety, productivity, leadership, psychology, performance, and the practical strategies behind creating meaningful change.

    From Ironworker to Safety Expert | Author Kim Pierce on 34+ Years in the Trades

    Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with acclaimed construction safety expert, author, trades professional, and industry leader Kim Pierce. With more than 34 years in the construction industry, Kim has built an extraordinary career rooted in hard work, resilience, leadership, and a commitment to protecting workers. Growing up in Minnesota, she learned the fundamentals of construction from her father before embarking on a remarkable journey through the trades. Kim spent 14 years working hands-on as a carpenter and ironworker, gaining firsthand experience on job sites, from roofing projects to bridge construction. Those experiences—including real-world close calls and near misses—eventually inspired her transition into construction safety, where she has dedicated decades to helping workers stay safe and return home to their families. We discuss her powerful book, The Hands That Built This, which explores the realities of life in the trades, workplace safety, leadership, and the lessons learned from a lifetime in construction. Beyond her safety career, Kim is also an accomplished fiction writer. Under the pen name Jake B. Cage, she writes science fiction and post-apocalyptic novels. We also discuss the latest installment in her Enclave Series, Shadows Beneath the Ruins, and how storytelling complements her professional life. From a conversation recorded while traveling through Ontario, California, Kim shares insights on workplace safety, leadership, women in construction, skilled trades, writing, perseverance, and the value of experience. This is a fascinating discussion for construction professionals, safety leaders, tradespeople, entrepreneurs, authors, and anyone inspired by stories of grit, determination, and lifelong learning.

    Author Bill Smoot on San Quentin Exodus and Teaching Behind Prison Walls

    Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with acclaimed educator, novelist, essayist, and author Bill Smoot. His remarkable story begins in Maysville, Kentucky, where he grew up in the 1950s surrounded by family, community, baseball, Boy Scouts, and time spent on his grandparents' dairy farm. Bill attended Purdue University intending to become an engineer, but his intellectual curiosity led him toward philosophy and journalism. During his college years, he became politically engaged while serving as editor of The Purdue Exponent, helping shape discussions during a transformative era in American history. Over the past decade, Bill has dedicated himself to teaching at Mount Tamalpais College inside San Quentin Prison, bringing higher education opportunities to incarcerated students and helping transform lives through learning, literature, and critical thinking. We discuss his latest novel, San Quentin Exodus, a compelling work of fiction centered around a dramatic prison escape while exploring larger themes of freedom, redemption, justice, and the human spirit. In this engaging conversation, Bill shares insights on teaching inside prison walls, writing fiction, philosophy, education, social change, and the life experiences that shaped his journey from rural Kentucky to one of America's most unique educational environments.
