Tell Me Your Story

Im Richard Dugan, host of 'Tell Me Your Story”, NEW PARADIGMS FOR A NEW WORLD... To bring as many different points of view, from around the circle, into your view, to assist you in expanding your life and living. To assist in the positive evolution of mankind and bringing about a greater awareness of self and others in order to create the kind of world YOU want. A world in which we all can search for, find and fulfill our 'first best destiny'. GIVING YOU CHOICES AND KNOWLEDGE OF THOSE CHOICES TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE... You deserve to know 'the truth' about who you are, because that 'truth will set you free'. Knowing your past is fine. Knowing who you are now is greater. And knowing who you want to be and how to bring about that transformation is what 'Tell Me Your Story' is about. THE ONE THING YOU HAVE TO GAIN...IS...THE NEW WORLD YOU WANT! Since 2007, we've been producing TMYS, available at richarddugan.com/radioshow. My dream is to syndicate 'Tell MeYourStory' and take it on the road. Traveling to all parts of the world, talking with people who are living, working and playing in new ways that are changing the world, one person at a time. I have been interviewing for over 30 years, talking with thousands of; authors, musicians, light workers, metaphysicians, spiritualists, co-creators, body, mind and light workers, new thought people, visionaries, revolutionaries, inovators. We all have a story and mine is no greater or lesser than yours. Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. I was legally blind from birth. In spite or because of that, I went through 13 years of school not knowing what I wanted to do and so I went to Communtiy College and worked in the AV Department. I found out about a job with 'Sun Sounds' Radio Reading Service, for the blind and visually impaired. I not only became a client, I started working there August 29, 1979 and never “looked” back. On March 6, 1996, I received a lens implant and went from 20/200 or worse to 20/80 overnight. Within just a few months, I was learning to drive a car. A dream I had given up in acceptance of the way I was, legally blind. And that was 'ok'. Bicycling was just fine for me. Then my marriage of 15 years came to an end and I met Amrita Ma. We married and moved to her home town of Santa Barbara and we both started a new life 5 minutes for her childhood home. We've been to Ireland twice and dream of living there one day very soon. I dreamed I would drive, travel to far away places, share the love with someone with a very open, loving heart, live by the sea, have my own radio show, teach others my craft, meet new and exciting souls. I am working on 2 books and more. What are your dreams?........ I will share more thoughts later. RD

    https://www.scottsongs.com/ Scott’s Phone Number: 415 755 8140 Kim’s Phone Number:425-306-1390 Mindful Masculinity: A Book for Men and the Women Who Love Them By Scott Grace Scott Grace Brings the Humor and the Wisdom to a Matter of Vital Importance to Men – How to Adapt, Grow and Become Fully Themselves in a World Where the Roles of Masculinity are Changing Scott Grace has made every mistake in the book when it comes to being a man, after all, his first role model was Tarzan! But in his funny, insightful, humble, yet powerful manual that helps men transcend the roles, ego, habits, and relationship boxes that they find themselves stuck in, Scott brings solid wisdom that gently nudges his readers to a more conscious conception of what it is to be a successful, purpose-driven, loving and happy man today. In Mindful Masculinity: A Book for Men and the Women Who Love Them, he strips away the misconceptions, embedded beliefs and behaviors that no longer serve, using his hilarious self-deprecating humor to show where he went wrong, and brings to light the new way that attracts people rather than dominates or drives them away—and embellishes one’s authenticity. “If Dave Chappelle and Eckart Tolle teamed up to write a book for men, this would be it!” lauds Deborah Poneman, creator of the globally renowned Yes to Success Seminars. Scott Grace’s gifts are many—a highly sought-after singer, speaker, workshop leader, life coach and stand-up comedian (who used to open for such legends as Robin Williams and Dana Carvey), he rose to prominence opening for rock star authors and personal growth celebrities. The short list consisted of Deepak Chopra, Dr. John Gray, Louise Hay, Ram Dass, Dr. Bernie Siegel, Byron Katie, Jack Canfield, Joan Borysenko, Mark Victor Hansen, Les Brown, Dr. Judith Orloff, Alan Cohen, Wally Famous Amos and others -- including three presidential candidates, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Dennis Kucinich, and Marianne Williamson. Thanks to a succession of viral YouTubes, he went on to star as The Spiritual Dr. Seuss, combining entertainment, wisdom and comedy. As the new Dr. Seuss for adults, Scott became the headliner at New Thought Churches around the world, adding his unique gift of performing his uplifting and highly entertaining songs, including many written on the spot. He then parlayed that talent into the corporate sector as The Boardroom Bard, and eventually, developed another career writing spot-on personalized songs to honor people on their birthdays, anniversaries and eulogies, etc. Somewhere in there, he found the time to pen four books, Mindful Masculinity being the most recent. Scott’s book tackles overcoming the innate driving desire to live up to dad’s or one’s own expectations, the addiction to NOT feeling, transforming the inner critic, becoming aware of the fear of fear, transcending the compulsion to fix things for a romantic partner, grieving lost ideals and painful experiences, releasing the hold the ego has over heart, letting go of anger and rage self-or-other-inflicted, and much more. Mindful Masculinity is broken into 50+ clever fun-to-read short takes on subjects that shape a man’s life and the partner he shares it with. Says Scott: “This book is my love letter to men wanting to be true to themselves, confused about the changing rules and roles of masculinity. It’s a love letter to women who want to know more about the challenges men face. Finally, it’s a call to action to take charge of your growth so you can make a positive impact on the world with your masculinity.” Mindful Masculinity is available on Amazon.com for $16.95 and on Kindle for $3.99 Rather listen?

    Andres Schabelman - Captains Wanted_youtube

    https://schabelman.com/ Hi, I am Andres or Andy. I truly don’t mind which one you call me. I do a lot of different things. I’D PROBABLY BEST DESCRIBE MYSELF AS A MULTI-HYPHENATE TROUBLEMAKER. I AM A Reflector, transmitting TRUTH & heart through my being & OFTEN WITH THE ABSURD, pushing for A BorderLess, FOrmless world without binaries. Curiosity is my fuel, collAboration is my medicine. Born to Argentine-Jewish parents and raised within a larger Catholic-Colombian community in New Orleans, I grew up in many different worlds. As my experiences have taken me around the planet, I’ve been lucky enough to immerse myself within eclectic cultures, to learn from many different ancient traditions, and to start exploring the different dimensions of our consciousness. As part of this journey, it has come to my attention that it is very important that I tell you that I will eat your leftovers if you invite me to your house, and I might use your hair products. Another aspect of my being that perhaps is my super power is that I am sensitive to the ways in which we all give away our power to external systems, people, organizations, societal pressures, etc. Everything I do — from the book I wrote (see above) to the perfume I created to my comedy and even including my travel content — everything I do is meant as a blueprint for humans to return to themselves. If this resonates with you, I hope you’ll reach out so that together we may bring this world closer to unity, peace, and remembering just how connected and human we all are.
