Send us Fan Mail Terry Mayers is my son-in-law’s father. We’ve met a few times over the past ten years and have had a chance to visit a few times. So yeah, that’s why I asked him to be a guest; I know he has a story listeners would enjoy.  As Terry spent the past forty years as a surgeon, his story includes a couple of surgical recollections. Interesting stuff for sure!

Send us Fan Mail Brandy Buskow has spent most of her adult life trying to figure out what was wrong with her body. Chronic digestive issues since childhood. A celiac diagnosis in her early 30s that helped some but not enough. A full health crash after two back-to-back pregnancies that left her exhausted, in pain, and out of answers. In 2013 she found Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN), became a certified practitioner, and began healing in ways nothing else had delivered. What started as a personal health journey became a career. Today Brandy is the Chief Operating Officer of FDN, and she has spent more than 12 years helping build and run one of the most established functional lab training programs in health coaching. She is also a board-certified Health Coach, Master EFT Practitioner, Rapid Transformation Therapist, and Certified Hypnotherapist. As a homeschooling mom of four in Saskatchewan, Canada, Brandy brings a grounded, no-nonsense perspective to the conversation about women's health. She knows what it's like to be dismissed, to chase answers, and to finally find a methodology that works.

Send us Fan Mail How does a girl from a small town in New York end up being Michael Jackson's guitarist?

Send us Fan Mail “You believe the earth is a globe because you have that belief. But you have absolutely no scientific evidence to back your religious belief. It is a religious belief because there’s no science behind it.” -- Dave Weiss David Weiss (often known online as "Flat Earth Dave") is one of the most prominent advocates of the modern Flat Earth movement. He argues that the Earth is not a rotating globe but a stationary, flat plane covered by a dome or firmament. His views are not accepted by the scientific community, which overwhelmingly supports the globe model based on evidence from astronomy, physics, geology, and space exploration.   Dave’s website: Flatearthdave.com

Send us Fan Mail On Friday, October 11, 2024 Vincent was on his way to a coworking space at The Hoxton hotel in Brussels, Belgium. Just before the entrance, he was hit by a car while riding a shared scooter.  Vincent was given less than a 1% chance of survival. He sustained a broken wrist, a broken collarbone and a fractured skull. He was in a coma for several weeks. He also was self-employed in the hospitality business. Lying in a hospital bed in a coma, he had no income coming in. I mention this because it's difficult enough to recover from such a horrific accident but lying in a hospital bed unable to work was clearly difficult. Listen to our interview as Vincent talks about his life and the accident that changed him forever. Book: Everything Feels Impossible Until it's Done https://tr.ee/K9JlKwEMl2

Send us Fan Mail I've wanted to have longtime friend Julia Gosney share her story for a while. Why? Because she really has a great story, great enough to have two episodes. This is part two. (I'd recommend listening to part one first).  Like most who have been lucky enough to have had a 60+ years on this planet, Julia has lived a unique life. I believe her story WILL impact each listener in a positive way. I truly enjoyed talking story with Julia and recalling events I was a part of, but also learning things about Julia I never knew.

Send us Fan Mail From the age of four, Kate Saint Clair knew she was different. She didn’t really understand the how and why of her ability to communicate with people who had died, but she knew others didn’t seem to have this “gift”. Kate Saint Clair is a Human Intuition Expert, Psychic Medium, and Intuitive Advocate. Her life has been a journey of understanding the powers that she possesses and how she can help others to better understand their powers. Here’s a bit more taken from her website, Katesaintclair.com.  "Since 2007, I’ve been dedicated to one mission: to normalize intuition and bring it back to its rightful place as a source of wisdom, power, support, and guidance in everyday life. Every person is born with an accurate intuitive system that guides them to live the life their Soul came here to live. It's your birthright to know exactly how this system works so you use, control, and trust it. It's my life's purpose to teach you the mechanics of your personal guidance system, your intuition.  For too long, sensitives, black sheep, and intuitives have been dismissed, silenced, or made to feel like outsiders. I know this path deeply—I’ve walked it myself. And now, I stand as a voice for the child who sees, feels, hears, and knows things but doesn’t yet have the words to explain it. I speak for the soul who has always felt different, only to realize those differences are their greatest strength." Her goal through her work is to bring spiritual power and leadership back to women and to anyone who is soulfully connected to the Spirit World.

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to season 7 of the Nobody Knows Your Story podcast. Mix? What the heck is Johnzelle Anderson's mix story? It won't take too long for you the listener to figure out why Johnzelle chose the title Mixtape for his new book. Johnzelle is a therapist. But he's other things too, a mix of things. His new book is told in tracks rather than chapters. I once made mixtapes and the tracks were usually congruent in other words, in harmony with each other. But, other mixtapes, not so much. As Johnzelle shares his story you'll see why Mixtape is such a great title. The podcast and book will take you on a journey which charts Johnzelle's personal growth, his coming -of-age and how he's learned to help other's steer clear of issues he had to navigate/ deal with.

Send us Fan Mail In this last episode of season six of the Nobody Knows Your Story podcast, Doug Herdt and I spent an hour and a half talking about his life. His story, to use a few cliches, is one of getting up off the mat, never giving up, and when losing; not losing the lesson.  As Doug shares his story, you'll better understand why one of his favorite quotes comes from the Dalai Lama. "When you lose, don't lose the lesson." Bottom line, learn from a loss and try not to repeat it.  My eyes did sweat a couple of times while Doug recalled his marriage to Tina and the trials they experienced. His recollections caused me to think of another quote that has helped me. Sometimes we need to accept that grief and resilience can live together. Thanks everyone for your support these past six years and for sharing the podcast with others. Now, enjoy the life story of Doug Herdt!

Send us Fan Mail Daniel Tolson is a dedicated and proficient strategist and business coach and former Australian wakeboarding champion. As Daniel shares his story he talks about the many challenges he has faced during his life both physical and mental.  My time visiting with Daniel was a fun experience. As he shared his story, I was able to better understand what drove him to continually strive to be the best. I'm sharing a link to a video of Daniel wake surfing as an adult so that you the listener can get a glimpse of what Daniel has enjoyed since he was a teen. (When Daniel competed he did not compete as a wake surfer, but as a wakeboarder holding a rope that allowed him to do many highflying tricks.)    Daniel Wake surfing https://youtu.be/odkcL-JwBhc?si=Srd_4jiLV1pqYxX8 Podcast Mele (Music) Opening: Number 1 by Iration Mid podcast: A Place in the Sun by Maoli

Send us Fan Mail Dan Esposito dealt with chronic pain for too long. It effected pretty much every aspect of his life. But Dan no longer experiences chronic pain. As Dan shares his story we'll get to see how even a world class athlete can experience pain to the point life becomes a drudgery. But Dan did not want his pain to define him and alter the life he wanted to live.  I invited Dan to take twenty minutes or so and explain how he overcame chronic pain and how we listeners can as well.

Send us Fan Mail Aaron Hafdahl works as a substance abuse therapist. He didn't learn about substance abuse from textbooks but from the school of hard knocks. I know this is just one of the reasons he's good at communicating the facts of addiction AND what the future holds if his clients / program participants don't make positive changes to their lives.  I met Aaron several years ago when he was assigned to counsel my son Crosby. I heard enough of his story then to know that others would benefit by having Aaron share it on NKYS.

Send us Fan Mail "Cut the bullsh*t, Marketing isn't rocket science." This is from Kai Stone's website where he specializes in Website Design & Marketing Systems for Contractors. So helping folks with websites and marketing is what Kai is doing now. But how did a Maui kid, kicked out of pretty much every school he was in create such a successful online business? Take a listen as Kai shares his story in this last Nobody Knows Your Story episode of 2025. Kai's Instagram- kaistone808

Send us Fan Mail As the title says, in this episode we'll learn about the life of Dustin (Dusty) Camp. At the age of 31 Dusty clutched his stomach and collapsed.  He was gone within an hour and we didn't know why for a couple of months.  His official cause of death was a spontaneous dissection of the right iliac artery.  The iliac arteries branch off of the base of the aorta. This part of the aorta is called the abdominal aorta because it's in your belly. The iliac arteries are blood vessels that provide blood to the lower extremities, including the legs, reproductive organs and pelvic region. The pelvis is the lower part of your torso, just above where your legs connect at the hips. Once again, Dusty was 31. An iliac artery aneurysm typically affects older adult males often between 65 and 75 years of age. I remember being told by someone in the medical examiners office that for this to happen to Dusty was not one in a million, but more like one in five million. We'll never know exactly why this happened to Dusty but we believe an accident he suffered a couple of years earlier may have compromised his artery.  In this episode, members of Dusty's family recall "Dusty moments".  I've also included a few songs from artists Dusty enjoyed.
