    Ep. 34 | Daryl Browne: The Magic of Saying Yes, Enjoying Your Journey, and Finding Your Way

    On the journey of our lives, we are always presented with choices. If we are open to this life and say yes to what comes our way, we have a chance to … maybe … see that small quiet road that might be filled with heart and joy for us instead of whisking right past it and never even know that it, with all its possibilities, was even there. How did a man who was on the team that built the original CNN.com end up in a salt cave in New Hampshire? I’ve known Daryl Browne since the late 1990s when we worked together at Classroom Connect which was a company focused on using technology in K-12 instruction. This, in the 90s when people were just learning about the internet and using dial-up modems. Daryl and I have always been kindred spirits and have always enjoyed a personal friendship that had nothing to do with technology or instruction, but more about the journey of life we are all on. You’ll hear the very interesting story about how Daryl and his wife built Soleil's Salt Cave in Exeter, New Hampshire in 2017 to ease their newborn daughter, Soleil's health journey. With a web development career spanning 25 years, 7 continents, and several Fortune 500 companies, Daryl has applied his technology experience to giving people the most efficient and effective path from start to finish possible. For nearly the same amount of time, Daryl has fostered a vision of creating a body of work that would help people focus on the power of each moment of their own lives. That project has led to bottled messages (literally bottled in Ball-Mason Jars he calls Journey Jars), mixed media art installations, and several books. I’m thrilled to share this conversation with my friend, Daryl Browne, with you.

  2. Ep. 32 | Dr. David Thornburg: Family, Health, Invention and Teaching

    Ep. 32 | Dr. David Thornburg: Family, Health, Invention and Teaching

    The technology on your desktop and in your pocket was invented by…well… people. On this episode, you’re going to hear from one of them as he shares some fascinating stories from those times and reflects on the journey, family, health, and teaching.  My guest on this episode is Dr. David Thornburg. David started his career as a research scientist and inventor at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center where he worked on a variety of projects, including his invention of the first inexpensive touch screen. In 1981 he left Xerox and worked for a bit at Atari before helping start a company to launch two of his hardware designs: the KoalaPad touch tablet and the Muppet Learning Keyboard made in conjunction with Jim Henson of Muppet fame. After that venture, Dr. Thornburg became a consultant with a focus on the role of technology in K-12 education and held adjunct teaching positions at Stanford University, College of Notre Dame (Belmont, CA), University of Sao Paulo, and Walden University. He has been on several advisory boards, including the education board of SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), and has been an active participant in the International Space Development Conference.  I first met David when I was hosting the Connected Classroom Conferences for K-12 Educators in the 1990s and very early 2000s. David was my keynote speaker at numerous conferences all over the United States and delighted audiences with his message of how technology can and will impact teaching in schools all over the country and the world. You should know that you are going to be hearing a founding member of the small group of people who invented what we now know as personal computers. All roads for the computers you use today on your desktop and in your pocket passed through the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center where David worked with the teams that built graphic (point and click) technology, touchpads, and the mouse. His discussion of these times is something I’m so delighted and honored to have recorded for this podcast. Get comfortable and prepare to sincerely enjoy hearing these stories from someone who was in the room, my friend, Dr. David Thornburg. Recommended Book: From the Campfire to the Holodeck

    Ep. 29 | Dr. David Weiman: The Four Pillars of Prosperity

    Health, freedom from worry, gratitude, and relationships with outstanding people. Are these the four pillars of prosperity?  David Weiman is a psychologist and leadership consultant. He has been working for over 25 years with organizations across the US and around the world. His firm, Weiman Consulting, provides talent assessment services to help companies make the best hiring decisions, executive coaching to develop awesome leaders, and development assessments and programs to help foster high-performance teams. You can find him online at weimanconsulting.com.    He’s been interviewed as an expert on leadership and psychology in Businessweek, The Los Angeles Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Men’s Health, Entrepreneur, and other publications. He has also served on the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania Medical School and is currently an adjunct assistant professor at Widener University’s Institute for Graduate Clinical Psychology. He is a licensed Pennsylvania psychologist, a Certified Performance Coach through Johnson & Johnson's Human Performance Institute, and he is also certified in Clinical Hypnosis through the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis. I met David because we are both friends of Dave Frees who I interviewed on this podcast last season. I could tell quickly that he was a great guy, a lot of fun, and a real mensch. But then I had the chance to hear him present to Dave’s group and knew I was in the presence of a real master. This topic is truly in his wheelhouse and you are going to love hearing his thoughts on prosperity. If you can, be prepared to take notes, because you are going to want to.
