Kathryn interviews Author Shaun Tomson.Veteran, world champion surfer Shaun Tomson—who is on most lists of The Top 10 Greatest Surfers of All Time shares with us his experience on overcoming life's obstacles drawing on the pain of losing a child and the strengths he acquired becoming a sports leader. Along with co-writer Poet-Philosopher Noah benShea, he employs surfing as a metaphor to analyze 18 “breaking waves” of life, including loss, depression, aging and relationship changes. He also emphasizes the Code Method which stems from his decades of surfing experience and is a simple system to find purpose in everyday life. He's learned to “ride the waves” of daily existence and is eager to share the inspiring power he has gained on his personal path with others looking for ways to live better and get more out of life. Tomson launched The Surfer and the Sage on NBC's Today Show in a Motivational Monday segment. He is a past board member of Surfrider Foundation and the Santa Barbara Boys & Girls Club. Kathryn also interviews Author Mark K. Shriver. In this lively, vibrant, and inspiring follow-up to the Christopher Award-winning book 10 Hidden Heroes, NY Times and Washington Post bestselling author Mark K. Shriver and his wife Jeanne help children learn about the power of numbers and how working together can make the world a better place. We are shown what makes math fun and meaningful by showing how our service to others multiplies when people pitch in together. The whimsical, rhyming text and colorful artwork from award-winning artist Laura Watson inspire discussion on such topics as friendship, leadership, and camaraderie while illustrating the basic concepts of multiplication. We learn how living a life in service of others provides children with a sense of purpose, increases their confidence, and builds strong, resilient communities. Shriver, former Maryland state legislator, is president of Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School and former president of Save the Children Action Network in Washington, D.C.

Mark Kennedy Shriver has spent a lot of time with incredibly impressive people. His father was Sargent Shriver, who founded the Peace Corps, was the architect of Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty, and ran for vice president of the United States in 1972. Sargent Shriver was married to Mark’s mother, Eunice Kennedy Shriver -- sister of JFK and RFK -- for 56 years. She, in turn, founded the Special Olympics, among many other accomplishments. The public service values Mark learned from his parents have taken root in his own life. Mark served as a Maryland state delegate for eight years and has been leading the Save the Children Action Network for the last seven. He knows what it means to be a servant leader. And he shares those lessons with a fresh generation in his brand-new children’s book “10 Hidden Heroes,” published by Loyola Press. The book is a vividly illustrated “Where’s Waldo?”-style collection of people serving their communities in big and small ways, meant to show kids that they don’t need a lot of money or superpowers to be a hero in their own communities. Mark talked to AMDG host Mike Jordan Laskey about why he wrote the book, how his Catholic faith and Jesuit education shape his values, and what today’s leaders navigating the coronavirus pandemic might learn from the example of his parents.

Rukia Lumumba is the Executive Director of the People's Advocacy Institute. She tells our Desare Fraser while her group wants to support protesters, bail reform is also another piece of comprehensive criminal justice reform.Segment 3:The first-ever ranking of how each county in America protects and provides for its children reveals the most disadvantaged counties are mostly comprised of communities of color, and nearly all are rural, poor, and concentrated in the South. The county rankings are based on four factors that cut childhood short: hunger, dropping out of school, teenage pregnancy and early death due to poor health, accident, murder or suicide. Mark K.
