As anglers of the north used to freshwater fishing, they too never realllly thought it would be possible to one day fish salty places. BUT, they have now gotten some experience doing it and offer some tips and advice from what they learned on those first few trips. Mitch and Aldo also chat to guide Capt.

On our Tuesday episode of The Joel Natalie Show, we are happy to share our conversation with Dave McCormick, former Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs, recent Republican candidate for the Pennsylvania Senate, and now the author of a new book titled "Superpower in Peril: A Battle Plan to Renew America."

I met David at the hotel here in Albany. We did the interview in my room, and I hadn't had the time to look and see what David was about prior to the interview other than the emails we had exchanged so I was going in quite blind.  Funny enough, David was in the same boat at me, after being confirmed as a guest, his last and final question was like "what is this jar all about?."  Eventually you know the night before he listened a few episodes and when I met him in the parking lot I am we chatted and even had a giggle about some of the episodes he had the chance to listen to. Me not knowing who David was proved to be quite good. David's found his place as an animal communicator, he talks to animals and translates their message for their owners. He was born in New York, and how he was grown-up as a kid, much like guys my age, the family was young, and kind of tough. They didn't I love you back then, and as someone who was in touch with his emotions and very in touch with others feelings and emotions, you can hear how this had an effect on him. I love the part where he shared his takeaway from Stella the cow was how love is unconditional, and you can see how that belief translates into who he is and how he works through his own beliefs. He's a beautiful example of someone who recognizes the differences in others, but chooses to push forward holding onto similarities instead. He really learned through animals, and communicating with them. His final message was rather sweet, but more important than most realize; to follow your heart.  Want to hear what your animals have to say?

Full Hour | In today's second hour, Dom welcomes in one of his favorite fiction authors Nelson DeMille onto the Dom Giordano Program to discuss his newest installment in the John Corey Series, The Maze, where a former NYPD detective finds himself involved in a dangerous hunt for a Long Island serial killer from the early 2000s. DeMille, a widely-renowned author, has been facing some negative criticism for the lack of political correctness in Detective John Corey, his main character, and tells why he doesn't mind the negative pushback because with it comes underlying positivity. In addition to telling us about his newest book, DeMille suggests who he'd like to see play the main character if the series were turned into a television series. Then, Dom welcomes in Philadelphia Councilman David Oh back onto the Dom Giordano Program after the Councilman faced some pushback on Twitter for suggesting that these roving gangs of dirt bikes and ATVs are regularly armed. Later, after getting blasted for his thoughts, news broke of two ridiculous situations that played out in Philadelphia, with a pack of off-roaders first shooting a security guard after the South Street Festival, then the next day surrounding a police cruiser, smashing the windows with rocks. Oh expresses his disappointment with the situation, telling of his frustration with the disingenuous nature of those who say that by enforcing certain laws is racist, explaining that no matter your skin color, everybody wants and expects safety in their City.

One of the things all of us need in this day and age is resilance, the world always seems like someone is screaming about something. Some people find resilance through journaling, exercise, mediation or othe rmeans. A very large amount of people in the world find it though Faith and belief of some kind. David Pasqualone is the host of the Remarkable People Podcast and a buisness man, but his story is something utterly remarkable itself. Born to a poor unwed mother in the late 1970's, abandoned by his wealthy father at birth, raised in a dilapidated house with 6' high ceilings that leaked when it rained, scarred from watching his grandmother suffer and slowly and painfully die from cancer, in fear for his life from insane family members convicted of murdering his great aunt that threatened him too, and the victim of other constant childhood abuses, David Pasqualone started life confused, scared, and feeling alone..... We talk about David's story and how his faith was the corner stone of how he survived, thrived and his purpose now. We touch on David's buisness, wholistic wellness, being a cancer survivor, masculinity, resilance and much more.

Perhaps the biggest challenge for someone who wants to write a book is how to begin. How do you choose a subject, and how do you manage to write the 40,000 or 50,000 words, which, even in these streamlined times, are needed? Here to break this down for you in easy, understandable steps, is David Avrin, author of several books, and a business consultant who focuses on customer service. In terms of choosing a topic, David focuses on relevance. This word has a twofold meaning. The subject should be relevant to current challenges. Because these challenges change, an author, in order to continue to be relevant, especially to his actual and potential clients, needs to publish every two to three years. David has learned that if you think, “I have to write an entire book,” you can be stopped before you start. Instead, he takes one task at a time. Anyone who hesitates about taking on the work of writing a book will find encouragement in this podcast.

On today’s episode of Brandstorm, we welcome David Konkol, president of Konkol Custom Homes & Remodeling, LLC. As the author of the book Building Your Dream Home: What You Need To Know, David provides tips on how becoming a published author can enhance your brand. About David Konkol David is a licensed building contractor and has been crafting luxury custom homes, starting at $1 million, for over three decades in Central Florida. He became an author about 10 years ago, when a friend in the publishing world (and owner of a home David’s company built) asked David if he had ever considered writing a book. While David originally dismissed the idea, he was reminded that many people who write books aren’t writers themselves, such as presidents, CEO’s and athletes. His friend encouraged David to share his wealth of knowledge with the home building and home buying public, and even created a book outline from the list of his original questions he had when David built his home. David was then convinced that the book would save both his time in answering questions from customers and prospects, as well as his clients’ time, giving them added value. What David didn’t know was just how much business would be generated from the process, and how far apart his book would set him from his competition. He points to two things his book does well: building trust and alleviating fears. He takes time within the pages to introduce himself and his background (including how long he has been married and how many children he has) as a way to present himself as an average person trying to do an exceptional job. As no other builder in his market has written a book, Building Your Dream Home showcases David as an expert in his field, spotlights his competence and strengthens his brand. How Long Does It Take to Write a Book? David explains that from start to finish, the process took approximately 14 months (working 10 hours per week) and that the only downside to writing the book was the family time he had to give up temporarily.  His process included carrying a three-ring binder wherever he went, with chapter titles listed on each page. This way, he could write down ideas as bullet points on the spot, whether he was on a job or working in his office. Those bullet points would then be dictated into a tape recorder, and the physical writing of the book would come from that content. He recommends this method because he found that the more he wrote, the more ideas he came up with and the more value and knowledge he could include within the book. Working with a publisher would’ve added about six months to the entire process, David states. He equates about 35% of his time, from beginning to end, was spent writing the first draft, and that the key to self-publishing is to make the final product look as if it was produced by a publisher. Otherwise, a poor product can hurt your reputation and sales.  Book Distribution David says he was never interested in selling books, but instead, securing more homes to build for those he wouldn’t normally get in front of. He feels that the book provided him a reason to reach out to potential, current and former clients, and that it also gave people a reason to start or revisit their relationship with David. After printing the first edition of the book, David’s company couriered a copy to their top prospects. Within a matter of weeks, he had already gotten calls back from a few of these prospects to start the home building process. He had also mailed copies to each home owner he had built for, asking them to forward the book on to anyone they know who could benefit from it. This spawned multiple unsolicited personal endorsements for David and his company. Though David does not make it a prerequisite for someone to read his book before working with him, he does mention to potential clients that the best homes and best processes of his career have come from projects requested by those who took the time to read the book. He also sent copies of Building Your Dream Home to the top 35 competitors in his area. David mentions that he wasn’t worried about potential theft of ideas or methods. Instead, he feels the book sets up for people how the home building process should go, and if customers hear something different from another builder, they know to be skeptical. Targeted book drops have also helped David’s company. Any homes marked for a major renovation or teardown near some of Orlando's nicest lakes were provided a book. This process alone turned into a $4.3 million build eventually. On top of these methods of distribution, David credits his well-trained staff with always asking callers or those taking home tours whether they’ve read David's book. Over the phone, his staff arranges for a book to be dropped off the same day of their initial call, and in person, David is usually available on site to sign copies and meet new potential clients.  How Much Does It Cost to Self-Publish a Book? David says his investment was about $8,000 — including jacket design, editing and proofing — on the first copy. Every copy afterwards was at a cost of about $7, which David says is still less than a nice brochure. With every new edition, David changes out the cover art, updates home photos and modifies the content. This allows him to circle back with the owners he’s built for, as well as others that can help leverage him in his market. With all of his success, David has already published a second book, In House: Designing Your Dream Home Room By Room, and he is on his way to writing his third soon.
