    211 - Tong Ge on Her Book "The House Filler"

    We live life going forward but make sense by looking back. Sitting with Tong Ge, talk about making sense of a life. Join us as she explains what it was like to live in China during the Cultural Revolution, and how she had to live away from her parents due to her father being a professor during those opaque, difficult times. Then let yourself get carried away by her stories around finding her passions, which included the writing of her family history into a trilogy. Just incredible. Check out her first book in the series, "The House Filler". Thank you Tong Ge. Just so inspiring. * To see the full YouTube episode and subscribe, visit: https://youtu.be/F9oa2CWNdb0 * To see this week's photos and others, visit: https://www.shooting-it-raw.com/photo-gallery **** To learn more about Tong Ge and to get her book: - https://tong-ge.com/ To order his book from Amazon.com, visit: - https://www.amazon.com/House-Filler-Tong-Ge/dp/1553806980/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= **** More from Shooting it RAW: * Websites: Site: https://www.shooting-it-raw.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shootingitraw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shootingitraw/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ran-elfassy/ - Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/a92caaa1-6f09-473f-bd00-9f2e9000b3fa/SHOOTING-IT-RAW-WITH-RAN-ELFASSY - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shooting-it-raw/id1495187250?ign-mpt=uo%3D4 - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6p3NoR69bLG4lZ52FKE2dR - Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/RanElfassy - YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6sqti7YyKrSNUdgw3ONSFg/videos

    210 - Machiel Hoek on the Soul Who Saved the World

    After a two-month hiatus of not recording, Machiel Hoek and I sat for a truly inspiring conversation. So good! Machiel joined from Amsterdam and dove right into the world of phobias, fears and anxiety – but as a way to answer the question of what is the meaning of life? We then discussed Burning Man, how his son came to be, and then the lens or mirror we use to make sense of the world. Definitely worth checking out is his best-selling novel, now translated into English and available as "The Girl Who Changed the World." Thank you so much, Machiel for putting such goodness into the world. * To see the full YouTube episode and subscribe, visit: https://youtu.be/nTdksVlDL0c * To see this week's photos and others, visit: https://www.shooting-it-raw.com/photo-gallery **** To learn more about Machiel and to order his important novel, visit his website: - https://machielhoek.nl/ To order his book from Amazon.com, visit: - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9K7VX95 **** More from Shooting it RAW: * Websites: Site: https://www.shooting-it-raw.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shootingitraw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shootingitraw/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ran-elfassy/ - Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/a92caaa1-6f09-473f-bd00-9f2e9000b3fa/SHOOTING-IT-RAW-WITH-RAN-ELFASSY - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shooting-it-raw/id1495187250?ign-mpt=uo%3D4 - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6p3NoR69bLG4lZ52FKE2dR - Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/RanElfassy - YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6sqti7YyKrSNUdgw3ONSFg/videos

    209 - Don Sawyer on Appreciating the Different Ways of Being

    Welcome aboard Don Sawyer! But actually, it's who you took us on a world tour. Starting with the shot of a lone car on a deserted road in Newfoundland, Canada, Don brought us from there to Nicaragua, The Gambia, and then Louisiana. The common thread throughout? That we all experience life in our own unique ways, and that we can learn and appreciate them all. Humble, curious, thoughtful and empathic – listen in to Don's amazing stories of travelling the world and also putting these experiences into text, such as his novel, "The Burning Gem." Just amazing! * To see the full YouTube episode and subscribe, visit: https://youtu.be/KwNcQkwV-QY * To see this week's photos and others, visit: https://www.shooting-it-raw.com/photo-gallery **** To learn more about Don and his many books, visit his website: - http://donsawyer.org/ - http://northerned.com/ Reach and follow him on Facebook: - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558529432508 **** More from Shooting it RAW: * Websites: Site: https://www.shooting-it-raw.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shootingitraw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shootingitraw/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ran-elfassy/ - Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/a92caaa1-6f09-473f-bd00-9f2e9000b3fa/SHOOTING-IT-RAW-WITH-RAN-ELFASSY - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shooting-it-raw/id1495187250?ign-mpt=uo%3D4 - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6p3NoR69bLG4lZ52FKE2dR - Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/RanElfassy - YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6sqti7YyKrSNUdgw3ONSFg/videos

    207 - Melody Horrill on How to Use Your Power for Kindness

    After a short time away from recording, I'm back and none could have been a better guest than Melody Horrill. What a treat! Joining me from Melbourne, Melody shared the incredible story of getting to know and even be 'saved' by a wild bottlenose dolphin that researchers named Jock. A journalist by profession, the pandemic and the threats to local dolphin pods sparked her journey into book writing. She now has three books published or will soon be published, including "A Cat Called Q And The Magic Globe," a children's fantasy book out now and a non-fiction book about shelter animals also coming out soon. Links to her website and books, below. Join us and be inspired. As Jane Goodall, Melody writes "about love in its purest form.” * To see the full YouTube episode and subscribe, visit: https://youtu.be/iUE1QfFd-Ng * To see this week's photos and others, visit: https://www.shooting-it-raw.com/photo-gallery **** To learn more about Melody, visit: Website: https://www.melodyhorrill.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melody-horrill-6974a038/?originalSubdomain=au Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melodyhorrill_author/?locale=us&hl=am-et **** More from Shooting it RAW: * Websites: Site: https://www.shooting-it-raw.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shootingitraw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shootingitraw/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ran-elfassy/ - Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/a92caaa1-6f09-473f-bd00-9f2e9000b3fa/SHOOTING-IT-RAW-WITH-RAN-ELFASSY - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shooting-it-raw/id1495187250?ign-mpt=uo%3D4 - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6p3NoR69bLG4lZ52FKE2dR - Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/RanElfassy - YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6sqti7YyKrSNUdgw3ONSFg/videos

    205 - Ann Aubitz on the Journey from Manuscript to Print

    For the love of books and story, here's the delightful Ann Aubitz. Yet another kind soul coming in from Minnesota, Ann and I sat down to talk shop around cherishing the life of her strong and tenacious mother, what it's been like to raise a daughter with Down syndrome, running a publishing company and publishing a book on how to get published, and the incredible journey that is a life. We covered a lot of ground – and it was profound. Join us and be inspired...
