    DR. ROBERT A. SAUL - Professor of Pediatrics (Emeritus) at Prisma Health Children's Hospital & Univ. of South Carolina School of Medicine - "What Really Matters; Find Meaning Amid Upheaval" - Ep. 305

    Bob Saul was born in Chicago, IL and grew up in the Chicago area and later moved to Colorado. A graduate of Colorado College and the University of Colorado School of Medicine, he completed pediatric training at Duke University Medical Center and genetic training at the Greenwood Genetic Center. He is Professor of Pediatrics (Emeritus) at the Prisma Health Children's Hospital-Upstate and the University of South Carolina School of Medicine - Greenville, Greenville, SC. He has two grown children, Bradley and Ben, two granddaughters and has been married to his wife, Jan, for over 38 years. He returns to the Rick Flynn Presents worldwide podcast in exchange for promotion of his latest book, co-authored with Michael Cogdill, entitled "What Really Matters: Find Meaning Amid Upheaval". This book was published by Koehler Books on August 18, 2026. Deciphering what really matters has been the perpetual quest of humankind. Dr. Robert Saul, a pediatrician engaged in teaching children and families how to enhance their childhood and parenting journeys, and Michael Cogdill, a journalist covering the news that impacts the lives of our citizens, contend that truth, trust, science, civility, diversity, and faith are what matter. And unless we embrace what matters, we will lose sight of our common humanity. What Really Matters explains why and how we are meant to engage with others and improve their lives. With this improvement, we enhance our own existence, becoming better citizens and better stewards of the miracle of life. Contact: www.MyChildrensChildren.com or via LinkedIn or Facebook

    WITNEY SCHNEIDMAN - "This Africa Idea: A Memoir of Discovery, Diplomacy, and Opportunity" - Author and Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs (Clinton Administration) - Ep. 302

    What tremendous 100% true and amazing memoir for you this week on the Rick Flynn Presents worldwide podcast show. In this riveting memoir, one of the country's leading Africanists shares his story of five decades of work across the African continent at senior levels of government, business, and law.In 1971, months out of high school, Witney Schneidman found himself at a secondary school in Mbarara, Uganda listening on the radio as Idi Amin announced his takeover the country. He soon understood that Africa was a continent of sweeping change-colonialism was ending, independence was on the march, and liberation movements were fighting tall odds to end white rule in Southern Africa- and he made the decision to dedicate his life to fostering strong ties between the United States and African nations.Schneidman details the many risks and setbacks that stood between him and his dream of shaping U.S. policy toward Africa and contributing to progress on the continent. He recalls the isolation of being the only American studying at a university in Tanzania at the height of the Cold War, travel across 30 African countries, and policy successes that formed the cornerstone of U.S.-Africa relations. His inspiring story is a clarion call about the importance of engaging with the continent shaping the future of the world. Published by: Bloomsbury Academic

    ROGER S. GOTTLIEB - 'Nature Spirituality and Environmental Crisis: Embracing a Sacred, Wounded Earth" - Author and Professor of Philosophy - Episode 301

    We proudly roll out the red carpet this week on the Rick Flynn Presents worldwide podcast for a most distinguished guest ROGER S. GOTTLIEB. He is a Professor of Philosophy and author as well as expert public speaker. His book, publishing September 3, 2026, is published by Bloomsbury Academic and is now available wherever books are sold and/or ordered. We are also grateful to present this show to the public as episode 301 of Rick Flynn Presents after just having celebrated our milestone 300th episode. You are about to very clearly understand why our show is known and appreciated worldwide for the amazing high-quality guests we are able to present to our audience. Roger S. Gottlieb is one such perfect example. For millennia nature has provided spiritual experiences of wonder, gratitude, and peace. Now nature is being burned, poisoned, and rendered extinct. This book asks: Can nature still provide spiritual inspiration?Drawing on decades of original work in environmental ethics, religious environmentalism, contemporary spirituality, and fiction, Roger S. Gottlieb explores how ecological crisis reshapes spiritual life. What we trusted would nourish us and our descendants forever is diminished and threatened. We seek a refuge from the cruelties and madness of human culture and find bird species disappearing and oceans filling with plastic.Gottlieb begins by clarifying what spirituality is and why nature has played a central role in it for religious believers and non-believers alike. He then examines the environmental crisis as a civilizational rupture that transforms hope, grief, meaning, and moral responsibility.Nature spirituality, he suggests, must adapt to ecological loss and vulnerability. Difficult as it may be, we can nourish a spirituality in which grief coexists with gratitude, compassion with moral outrage, and acceptance with active solidarity and love for all of life.The book concludes with a fictional narrative illustrating how each of us might face overwhelming environmental realities with a transformed spiritual vision.
