Keep The Change

Dr. Anne Katona Linn is an educational and behavioral consultant who specializes in creating positive school climates for students and adults. She uses a coaching model and works with communities to achieve this goal. She has experience in supporting and teaching educators, administrators, and children, and specializes in mental health, substance use, special needs, bullying, and trauma prevention and intervention. She is a certified coach in the Competent Learner Model and Board Certified Behavior Analyst with a focus on Autism Spectrum Disorders and Behavior Disorders.She is someone who has personally experienced the power of forgiveness and recovery in their own life. She shares her own personal journey, reflecting on her upbringing in Pennsylvania, and the car accident she experienced at the age of four that left her with PTSD and negative memories of her time in the hospital. She explains how she spent much of her life feeling like something was wrong with her and coping with triggers and panic attacks.Dr. Anne's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of addressing trauma and mental health, and the need for more open and supportive conversations surrounding these topics. She also stresses the importance of understanding the impact of traumatic experiences on children, and the role schools and communities can play in creating a safe and positive environment for them.She shares how she initially resisted the idea of recovery and wanted to achieve great accomplishments instead. But through a series of events and a choice retreat, she had a breakthrough moment where she cried and felt like a different person, and realized that God was using her broken pieces to help her become better and walk the path He had for her.In today's society, the topic of trauma and its aftermath is still met with a lot of shame and stigma. It's important to remember that just because someone may not have reacted in the way we expect them to in a traumatic situation, it doesn't mean they are weak or at fault. In fact, the fight, flight, or freeze response is a natural reaction to traumatic events and it's something that none of us can truly predict.Her journey is a powerful reminder that we can all overcome trauma and that with the right support and tools, we can live a life of significance and purpose. It's also important to remember that healing is a journey and it's not always a straight path. But with the right mindset, anything is possible.Thank you for listening to Keep the Change, and we hope Dr. Anne's story will inspire others to seek help and support in addressing their own experiences with trauma and mental health. Enjoying the show?

Pat Williams is a basketball Hall-of-Famer, co-founder of the NBA's Orlando Magic, and former general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers. Also one of America's top motivational and inspirational corporate speakers, Pat has addressed employees from many Fortune 500 companies. Pat is also the author of over 100 books, his most recent title is REVOLUTIONARY LEADERSHIP. What we discuss in this episode: Pat shares the story about how his father introduced him to the game of baseball in June of 1947 and how the sites immediately struck him, the sounds, smells, and color of baseball. At seven years old, he remembers deciding that he wanted to play baseball for the rest of his life. He admits that those were big dreams, but he made it to the minor leagues playing for the Phillies organization with enough determination. "But I had a better future in the front office than I did on the field in the Phillies, and they noticed that. They gave me an opportunity to learn the ropes as a minor league operator for different teams in their farm system. That paved the way to my switch to the NBA in 1968 where I enjoyed a 51 year run." Being a perpetual student is something that Pat Williams offers as advice to anyone seeking to grow. "I encourage young people where they are in their careers to find mentors, find life coaches, find sages, that you can pick their brains and you can learn from them and you can stay in touch with them. When you have questions that seem to be perplexing you, go to those people and learn and pull from them. In my profession, whenever I found someone that I could learn from or benefit from, I would pepper them with questions, and seek them out, and try to spend as much time with them as possible."

John Clements is a medical practitioner whose career has spanned over 50 years. He has a heart for children in developing countries. His early career included a year running a Christian mission hospital in the Peruvian Amazon, followed by postings as Chief Medical Officer in Bangladesh and Afghanistan with Save the Children Fund. He joined the global leadership team for infant and childhood immunization at the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva. Over his 17 years with the UN, he worked in around 100 countries, mostly in the developing world. He has taught public health at the postgraduate level at a number of universities. He writes extensively and has published many books, book chapters, and articles in the medical literature on public health issues. In 2003, he moved to Australia, where he worked as a consultant with several UN agencies and Australia-based international health agencies. He is an associate professor at the University of Melbourne. In 2020, he was awarded membership in the Order of Australia for his work in international health. He has two adult sons, both of whom work in the international aid sector. He was an elder in an evangelical church for a number of years before moving to house churches. His story really kicks off when he was in primary school, age 10. With a very strict school mistress who insisted they take a book out of the library every Friday and bring it back the next Friday, and by chance - by God, John took a specific book out which made him curious. It was the life story of Albert Schweitzer. He was born in 1870 in Germany, and he became a world-renowned organist. He played bars and things like that. He had a lot of success with his recordings Organist toured Europe, becoming the darling of Europe at the age of 30.He felt the call of God on his life. He went to medical school, got qualified, and spent most of the rest of his life in Gabon, Africa, the darkest continent in the world. It was a very primitive situation. He got involved, built a hospital, provided services where none were available, ran a hospital, operated it, and did incredible work.He became internationally recognized for his writings, and in 1956 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. So here was a man of great stature and moral courage who had just spoken to the deepest part of John's heart. And he was certain that he wanted to do what Albert Schweitzer did right away.John studied the right subjects at school. He went through medical school, was trained in pediatrics and obstetrics in public health and tropical medicine, and then, to his amazement, he went to dark Peru and was offered the chance of running a hospital in the Amazon by a Catholic mission organization called Jas International, operating out of Liverpool. Talking about his experience and how people from there didn't trust West Medicine and the white nurses and doctors that were running it. They regarded someone with pale skin and brown eyes as a gringo. From being referred to as a "gringo," which was an obstacle to overcome, and the fact that they were very reluctant to come to the hospital at first to then calling him El Doctoral, which was good. Fast forward to when he came back from Peru and met his wife. And just like everyone else, his faith had quite a few dips. John encourages young people who are struggling with their faith that hey need to know that it's quite normal to have a dip in their faith.  John found another passion to become a chaplain and do the work of Christ, for which he eventually became an elder in a church. He also has written a book called "The Gospel Unadorn." Targeting the mature Christian in easy-to-understand language, the book explores the difference between faith alone in Christ alone and those elements of church religion that have been hoisted onto the backs of believers.

He went to medical school, got qualified, and spent most of the rest of his life in Gabon, Africa, the darkest continent in the world.It was a very primitive situation. He got involved, built a hospital, provided services where none were available, ran a hospital, operated it, and did incredible work.He became internationally recognized for his writings, and in 1956 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. So here was a man of great stature and moral courage who had just spoken to the deepest part of John's heart.And he was certain that he wanted to do what Albert Schweitzer did right away.John studied the right subjects at school. He went through medical school, was trained in pediatrics and obstetrics in public health and tropical medicine, and then, to his amazement, he went to dark Peru and was offered the chance of running a hospital in the Amazon by a Catholic mission organization called Jas International, operating out of Liverpool.Talking about his experience and how people from there didn't trust West Medicine and the white nurses and doctors that were running it. They regarded someone with pale skin and brown eyes as a gringo.From being referred to as a "gringo," which was an obstacle to overcome, and the fact that they were very reluctant to come to the hospital at first to then calling him El Doctoral, which was good.Fast forward to when he came back from Peru and met his wife. And just like everyone else, his faith had quite a few dips. John encourages young people who are struggling with their faith that hey need to know that it's quite normal to have a dip in their faith. John found another passion to become a chaplain and do the work of Christ, for which he eventually became an elder in a church. He also has written a book called "The Gospel Unadorn." Targeting the mature Christian in easy-to-understand language, the book explores the difference between faith alone in Christ alone and those elements of church religion that have been hoisted onto the backs of believers.Check out his website to order your copy: 

Have you ever walked through a situation in life that left you wondering why God would allow you to experience the hurt, pain, or even discouragement that resulted? There is no doubt that some challenges in life are the result of poor choices, but for every believer, the reality is that we will walk through hardship and experience pain. One of the most beautiful aspects of Christianity for our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world are the stories from the Bible of those who came before who were persecuted. The Bible is rich with accounts of people who suffered for their faith in different ways. Now, this is one incredible life story that you must listen to too. Pastor Malinga. Malinga is the pastor of Christ Life Church in Zambia. Pastor Malinga went from serving in ministry to being in prison for two years and three months for a mistake he did not commit. He was a "normal" everyday kid growing up in Zambia. After high school, he became actively involved in the local church, doing youth ministry, cleaning the church, going to the streets, feeding kids on the streets, and doing hospital visitation. The leaders in the church then saw the call of God in his life, and they decided to give him the First Church to lead at the age of 20. But things don't always go as we want. It is a guarantee that we will have trouble in this world, as Jesus himself did. But, with his power and presence in our lives, we are called to endure and thus shine the light of Christ in a dark world. In this episode, Pastor Malinga talks about his entire journey and what ultimately led him to accept God's will while being a "prisoner" and become a full-time pastor and preacher, massively impacting many people in prison. "What is it?" I began to wonder.What's the meaning of life when you've been wrongfully imprisoned, when you're eating bad food, and when you're sleeping in a crowded place full of bed bugs? "What is life? And it was in those moments that the Lord started teaching me that life is an opportunity that God gives to us. Life is an opportunity to love, to serve, and to honor God and mankind. that even though I was wrongfully imprisoned, the law had given me a great opportunity in prison to love my enemy, to save my enemy, and to honor God by doing that." After two and a half years, finally, the day of defense and judgment came. On that day, the same man that I'd helped, who had now recovered, stood up in the courts of law before the judges and the police officers. And he pointed at me and said, "This man, he's an innocent man." He doesn't know anything about all my criminal activities. I simply carried him in the vehicle like an ordinary passenger. And those words, which he spoke, opened the doors for me to be released from prison. Enjoying the show? Subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast players!

Years ago, when I was a kid, I used to go to my grandmother's house probably every other weekend. And we would listen to a Play-By-play guide named Ernie Harwell, the voice of the Detroit Tigers. Now, Fast forward to 2022 today. Every night during the hockey season, me and my beautiful wife Mary, get to sit on the couch and listen to my favorite broadcaster. And that is Nick Nollerberger. Nick is the Voice of The Barracuda, the play-by-play guide for the San Jose Sharks Top Farm team, and also my son.  In this episode of Keep The Change, Nick Nollenberger tells his life story, his journey, and how he's been chasing his passion since he was a kid. Nick tells the story of how his brother wouldn't allow him to play in hockey games unless he was in charge of refereeing. This goes back to when Nick was a kid, and the two of them played on the floor with sticks in the living room. That's how long ago he realized he liked broadcasting and that he could pursue that as a career if he wasn't an athlete. Early in his career, he worked as the second announcer and public relations assistant for the Kannapolis Intimidators, the single-A club of the Chicago White Sox. After playing for a single year at the minor league baseball level, Nollenberger moved on to the NAHL's Odessa Jackalopes for a year before joining the Barracuda for the 2016–17 season. Nick says, "If you're able to treat people, respect, be a team player, be hardworking, be passionate, and be kind of a carrier of the torture of the organization in a positive light, then you add value to yourself, and you have an opportunity to build relationships and those relationships, whether. You're looking for something in return or not; hopefully, they'll propel you into something beyond where you're at because it is relationships that will probably get you the next opportunity and, uh, reputation. So it's little things that go a long, long way." Enjoying the show? Subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast players!

Despite our emotional response to motivational tales, most of us don't adjust our behavior until we face a similar challenge in real life. Bruce Miller is the guest on this week's program. Miller Motors' current owner is a cancer survivor who has learned to find the good in even the worst of situations. In other words, Bruce beat cancer. He is devoted to Christ, successful in business, and an outstanding leader.In this episode of Keep The Change,Bruce opens up about his difficult upbringing as an only kid to two alcoholic parents. His insights on loss, stress, service, wellness, and appreciation will motivate us to pursue inner and outer radiance and help us become our best selves. From dropping out of high school to managing the largest Chevrolet dealership in New Orleans to being laid off while battling cancer and still maintaining his faith in God. Bruce started to discover new ways to enjoy life. Through family, community, friendship, and duties, he found the unexpected places where happiness may be found. In addition, he discovered it by reconnecting with God, who alone can satisfy our most fundamental wants. This episode got to me emotionally, and it might get to you, too. I admire Bruce's courage and strength for himself. The changes he made appear to be doable for anyone facing similar challenges. The practice of learning to surrender one's burdens to Jesus (at the cross) and then letting them go without returning to "chew on them."Learning to trust God is an integral part of releasing our burdens to Him, and this is something we must cultivate through time with God's assistance.Sometimes the miracles we pray for don't happen, but we still need to keep our eyes peeled for the miracles God brings.We hope this story inspires you to make those changes you have been considering.

Mary Nollenberger is an award-winning business person of the year and has been named one of the most influential leaders in the real estate industry. She is also a counselor for her church, a wife, mother, and grandmother — and whether it's in business or life, Mary demonstrates what it means to lead with service and how to overcome life's obstacles by realizing that in God's eyes, we are enough. What we discuss in this episode: As a highly-competitive individual, Mary shares that her past has helped her realize the importance of celebrating victories and slowing the pace from time to time. Of course that's a realization that is often only made after seeking the next mountain to climb, or the next project to embark on. The hindsight is 20/20, and Mary offers her wisdom that in order to effectively serve others, it often requires us to slow down and focus our strength and energy into where it will have a lasting impact. Mary shares about times when she lacked confidence in herself — something that so many can relate to. Whether it's from insecurity or comparing ourselves to our peers, insecurity is common. As Mary explains, insecurity is also something we can overcome. "I don't have a history with addiction, or things that people would associate with celebrate recovery. I am a grateful believer in Jesus. He is helping me to overcome the comparisons that fuel my insecurity by giving my heart the promise that to him, I am enough." Enjoying the show?

In this episode of Keep The Change, Bart is joined by his oldest son, Ty Nollenberger — an entrepreneur and owner of a successful cafe and coffee shop. During their conversation, Ty shares his story about creating a successful restaurant business in California. What we discuss in this episode: Ty shares the story about how he got into the restaurant business, which all began as a 15-year-old working as a bus boy at a restaurant. After years of serving, bartending, and attending culinary school twice, Ty worked to learn each facet of the business before venturing on his own. This is a critical piece to achieving success. Are we willing to put in what it takes, or do we fall victim to the need for immediacy that often plagues our society? When it comes to developing the grit necessary to do hard things, Ty recommends that it should start by being self-aware and honest with yourself. What do you want in life, and what do you have a passion for? When we can figure out and admit those things, life tends to fall into place much more naturally. We can remove obstacles and have enough persistence to push through them. Movement creates clarity. We rarely find ultimate clarity by remaining sedentary. As we take action and move closer toward what we want, the goals and process for achievement become much clearer. Enjoying the show? Subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast players!

Do you ever feel like life is a constant uphill battle? In this episode of Keep The Change, Bart shares some of his experiences facing challenges and how to find a greater purpose in life. What Bart shares in this episode: Each of us inevitably will go through challenging seasons in life.

Of course, those moments can refine us and make us stronger and, in many cases, help us find life's deeper meaning and purpose. Each of us has a calling to fulfill. We are each here for a greater purpose than just going from day to day surviving and trying to make ends meet. Bart shares an experience in which he felt the prompting of the Holy Spirit testify to him what his purpose in life should be.

Bill Goodwin is a John Maxwell coach and has been helping individuals and organizations develop leadership skills for over 30 years. In this episode of Keep The Change, Bart Nollenberger and Bill Goodwin talk about the process of personal transformation, why it's important, and how to accept it in our lives with grace and hope. What we discuss in this episode: Bill recounts an experience he had as a 15-year-old in which he realized he needed to make some changes in his life when his mother caught him both demonstrating behavior (swearing) that was unbecoming of how he was raised and in a lie. He distinctly remembers in that moment deciding that he needed to decide who he wanted to be in life. Each of us has moments like Bill. Some are more severe, and some are simple everyday experiences that many can relate to. The most important aspect of accepting transformation is realizing that transformation is needed and wanted. Often we may find ourselves wondering how we arrived at our current circumstances. We may feel the need to ask, "Why me?" Both Bill and Bart discuss the importance of taking ownership over your circumstances so that you can accept that transformation is required. It's not until we desire to transform our lives that true, lasting change can occur. Listen to the full episode for more relatable life-changing stories shared by Bill Goodwin and Bart Nollenberger.

"If it's worthwhile, it should be worth the while." - Michael Cirillo Michael Cirillo returns for a deeper look into his career journey and the lessons that have helped him enjoy a successful career as the CEO and co-founder of the automotive tech and marketing agency, FlexDealer.com. How to make the journey worthwhile: Michael points out that anything worthwhile should be worth the while. In other words, a valuable lesson he's learned is that, despite wanting the journey to go faster at times, it has taken the exact amount of time that it needed to take for him to truly grow and learn. It's easy to feel inadequate when contrasted against the perception of success that we're bombarded with online. Someone is always willing to glamourize the journey — a guru only willing to show you the staged photograph of them sitting on the beach. The danger is that the journey rarely looks the way it's depicted. It requires much more hard work, doubt, failure, learning, competition, and discipline. There is no magic bullet to success. Bart asks how Michael sets and achieves goals. Michael speaks to the importance of setting smaller, more achievable goals. In doing so, motivation increases, and he believes that aids in his ability to accomplish the end goals he has set.

In this episode of Keep The Change, Bart recaps some powerful moments from his past guests and some of the things that stood out most during those interviews. Each guest's unique story has contributed to who they are today. They have experienced the transformation deeply rooted in the Savior's atoning sacrifice. Key takeaways from this episode: Bart talks about how each guest has positively affected his life. Thirty-seven years ago, Bart entered a rehab center. He was 150 lbs and was an absolute mess in every area of his life. He confesses that he was selfish and narcissistic. He was addicted to alcohol, attention, and drugs. It's that experience that led him to produce this podcast, to hopefully share that the experiences from our past can lead to extraordinary outcomes in the future. Bart explains that he developed a relationship with God along the way. Speaking about his recovery, "my walk with God in staying clean and sober has freed me from my past hurts, habits, and hangups daily. Without God, my life doesn't work..." Each guest on the show has shared the importance of keeping the change in their lives. It's not about money, wealth, or entrepreneurship (although those tend to be common themes throughout their life experiences), it's more about how they've each risen from humble beginnings and leveraged those experiences as a source of strength.  Listen to the full episode for more insights about how to keep the change in your life!

Pat Williams is a basketball Hall-of-Famer, co-founder of the NBA's Orlando Magic, and former general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers. Also one of America's top motivational and inspirational corporate speakers, Pat has addressed employees from many Fortune 500 companies. Pat is also the author of over 100 books, his most recent title is REVOLUTIONARY LEADERSHIP. What we discuss in this episode: Pat shares the story about how his father introduced him to the game of baseball in June of 1947 and how the sites immediately struck him, the sounds, smells, and color of baseball. At seven years old, he remembers deciding that he wanted to play baseball for the rest of his life. He admits that those were big dreams, but he made it to the minor leagues playing for the Phillies organization with enough determination. "But I had a better future in the front office than I did on the field in the Phillies, and they noticed that. They gave me an opportunity to learn the ropes as a minor league operator for different teams in their farm system. That paved the way to my switch to the NBA in 1968 where I enjoyed a 51 year run." Being a perpetual student is something that Pat Williams offers as advice to anyone seeking to grow. "I encourage young people where they are in their careers to find mentors, find life coaches, find sages, that you can pick their brains and you can learn from them and you can stay in touch with them. When you have questions that seem to be perplexing you, go to those people and learn and pull from them. In my profession, whenever I found someone that I could learn from or benefit from, I would pepper them with questions, and seek them out, and try to spend as much time with them as possible."
