Advertise on podcast: Blending The Family with Tommy Maloney

  My guests this week are two extremely important dads when it comes to the world of fatherhood.   Rupesh Bhambwani is a distinguished individual who wears multiple hats with aplomb. His most cherished role is that of a Dad, a title he holds with immense pride. The priceless moments he shares with his children as they grow are the highlights of his life. On the professional front, he boasts a distinguished career spanning over 25 years in the domains of Tech and Telecomms. He is highly regarded as a seasoned Business Leader, renowned for his exceptional Advisory and consulting services to companies. He has also established Cool Dads' Club, India's Premier Dad Community (https://cooldadsclub.start.page/), and is a Founding Member of the prestigious Global Dads Council.  https://www.linkedin.com/in/rupeshbhambwani/   Jonathan Guerrero is the Producer of the syndicated radio program and podcast called The Fatherhood Challenge. The purpose and mission of The Fatherhood Challenge is to turn the hearts of fathers to their children. Production includes both full length episodes of about 30 minutes and PSA's, both 30sec and 1min. He is also Chief Operations Officer at DreamWeaver Therapy PLLC. My role includes website development and maintenance, content development, and podcast producer. It is an absolute joy to support an organization that gives a helping hand and lifts up those who are trying to help others in their communities. There are almost no easily accessible resources for therapists and caregivers when they need it the most. They are human, too, and need support on many levels. We are here in service for them, which is an opportunity I find very fulfilling. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-guerrero-a6029341/   As mentioned in my ramblings, please go to the website www.four-paws.org and help support them, please.     Tommy Maloney is the Executive producer and host of the podcast Blending The Family, where you can find Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Spotify, and Stitcher Radio.    Tommy has spoken at TEDx Loveland, Ignite Fort Collins and was a Keynote Speaker at Everything Dad Convention.

BIO: Justin is the Founder and CEO of Project Helping, a Denver-based mental wellness organization. He grew up in a ridiculously small town in Iowa. He studied finance and economics, which he now doesn’t use. He instead played golf professionally before starting a career in the golf industry. Over 15 years, he did all the jobs one could find in this industry, most notably staying with PING golf for almost 10 years. His struggle with mental wellness led him to leave the golf business behind to start Project Helping and provide purpose, connection, and mental wellness through kyndfulness.   SOCIAL: projecthelping.org https://www.instagram.com/projecthelping/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/project-helping/     Please subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFhju6cCeHC9xphoWbN3frA   Tommy Maloney is the Executive producer and host of the podcast Blending The Family, where you can find Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Spotify, and Stitcher Radio.    Tommy has spoken at TEDx, Ignite Fort Collins, and was a Keynote Speaker at Everything Dad Convention.

  My guest is Denise Boehler, who is my hero when it comes to serving the fur baby community. BIO: Do you need help getting a homeless animal's story out there? Would you like to impart the happy ending to your donors, of a successful adoption story for your website? Do you need help writing a grant and lack the time and skills needed to get your mission and needs across? Research and writing is what I do. Deep listening, processing, inquiry and creating through the written word is all part of the process of human communication. Whether it's writing from the heart, immersing in the intellect, or combining it to convey your needs in the clearest possible language, I am honored to be of service. After years of writing legal publications, I now spend my days writing about animals in need -- of a voice for their rights, of a word for their situation. I draw from the ground of ecopsychology, which allows me to infuse my work with the Buddhist philosophy of compassion and a return to a holistic, more connective relationship with nature. What are your needs? · Are you a nonprofit in need of a passionate, experienced and ecopsychology trained animal advocate? · Are you a rescue dog organization who just needs to get the story out there, but you don't have the time to write it? https://www.linkedin.com/in/colorado-animaladvocate/   This episode is sponsored by my new book "My Dads Advice At 5:04 AM," and you can get it here or here.   Please subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFhju6cCeHC9xphoWbN3frA   Tommy Maloney is the Executive producer and host of the podcast Blending The Family, where you can find Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Spotify, and Stitcher Radio.    Tommy has spoken at TEDx, Ignite Fort Collins, and was a Keynote Speaker at Everything Dad Convention.

This week's guest is Estrella Rogers.   This episode is sponsored by my new book "My Dads Advice At 5:04 AM," and you can get it here or here. Estrella is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Author, Speaker, and Relationship coach who services couples locally and internationally. She earned her master's degree in Social Work from East Carolina University. Early in her career, Estrella realized that many couples wanted to make their marriage work but were never taught, nor did they have the proper tools. This began her journey to becoming a specialist in the field of couple's work. Estrella is aware that she herself cannot "save a marriage," but it is her goal to ensure that couples have the tools and skills to achieve the relationship they desire. Wife and mother of two, Estrella recently published her first book "Prayers for My Husband." and is a published writer for "Jacksonville Scene" and "Fearless Life" Magazines. Estrella is also the co-founder and lead facilitator of Aspire Reaching Beyond the Obvious, a non-profit youth mentoring program servicing youth ages 11-18 in Jacksonville NC.   LINKS: www.starlevelcoaching.com IG: @starlevelcoaching FB: @starlevelcoaching   My question before you go.
