Adapting With Alex Garrett

OneLegUpAlex Adapts With 'Keep Chewing the Granite!' Author Bernard 'Chalky' White - Powered By Podmatch (Recorded 10-27-25) OneLegUpAlex Adapts With 'Keep Chewing the Granite!' Author Bernard 'Chalky' White - Powered By Podmatch (Recorded 10-27-25) My Guest Bernard ‘Chalky' White is an internationally renowned ski instructor, #1 best-selling author of ‘The 7 Secrets of Skiing and inspirational speaker. Available on Amazon (https://tinyurl.com/3cuzn3e4) is Chalky's new, motivational memoir, “KEEP CHEWING THE GRANITE!” - How 2 Questions Can Change Your Life. They really changed his! The ‘Takeaways' from every short story are aimed at dreamers and potential goal achievers looking for impetus to overcome, even very serious, adversity. A key aspect; Author Chalky, rather than writing a straight up memoir felt it very important to offer something that could truly help readers and others overcome procrastination, self and third party naysaying or almost any other kind of adversity. Why would he do that? If his 2 Question solution could and did work for him, it can and will work for anyone who dares or cares to use it. Also, of course. Chalky's memoir full of diverse adventures has plenty for those who simply enjoy true, sometimes heart wrenching, intriguing, sad to funny stories. Chalky and I will discuss how to use his simple but effective solution. He might even tell you the odd story. My Podmatch affiliate link: https://www.joinpodmatch.com/o...

Thanks to Podmatch AGAIN for connnecting me with an amazing guest, Devon Wieters, on One Leg Up With Alex Garrettt! Devon is a college graduate, writer, and podcaster who just happens to have cerebral palsy. She is passionate about creating a better world for all! She is also fiercely advocating for the passage of the SSI Restoration Act, which would eliminate the Social Security/Medicaid “marriage penalty” and the SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act, which would raise the salary and asset limits for Social Security and Medicaid. These changes would allow people with disabilities to work and marry without losing vital disability benefits. Devon can bring awareness to the myriad of issues people with disabilities still face and what changes need to be made at both federal and state levels to help people with disabilities and their families and caregivers thrive! She is also advocating for a man named Crosley Green to be released from prison, who she believes was wrongfully convicted of murder in Florida in 1990. Devon is also a super fan of the TV show Survivor and loves analyzing the strategy of the game with the fan community. In fact. she learned her interview techniques from watching host Jeff Probst!Pls. visit https://wheelwithit.com/! My Podmatch affiliate link is here: https://www.joinpodmatch.com/onelegupalex
