People who are struggling now with what you were struggling with then and whose lives can be changed forever by your story of God’s faithfulness to you!

You must be genuine and meet a person where they are, so that the Holy Spirit can help you establish and true relationship and trust.  We must always be ready to have a conversation about our faith with the people we meet.It’s not about having a sales pitch or sharing memorized Scripture.It’s about being able to connect in a genuine way and to have interactionsthat the Holy Spirit can guide us through.

In this episode, host Barry Meguiar talks about the rewards we will get in Heaven as believers and doers of the Word.  God’s purpose for your life is the same as His purpose – to seek and save the lost.

Host Barry Meguiar shares his thoughts on how removing God from our society has effectively invited chaos into our world. Satan is having a field day and, as Christians, we are allowing it. As Satan continues to blind the minds of the masses, we must take every opportunity to lead everyone, every day, closer to Jesus. When we, as a nation, began to move away from God, we moved toward conflict, anger, and division. Our problems are not racial or political, but spiritual. Where God created a void in us that only He can fill, we’ve been trying to fill it with everything but Him. The only cure is to fill that void with Jesus so that people will begin to see evil as evil and we’ll be a Christian nation once again.  Host Barry Meguiar is a car guy and businessman who hosted the popular TV show, Car Crazy, on Discovery Networks for 18 years.

As individuals we are the sum total of all our experiences. So it is with Michael Lienau. From a childhood interest in film to a career as a documentary filmmaker, he has left his mark. A close encounter with Mt. Saint Helens eruptions set him on a path to study and document volcanoes. On the way he has translated science into videos that inform and educate generations of people. During the podcast several video productions focusing on volcanoes were mentioned.Here is the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History Global Volcanism Program for the VolFilm Episodes:https://volcano.si.edu/gallery/VideoCollection.cfm?subject=VOLFilms&language=EnglishAnd specifically the ones produced in English language:Human Experiences with Lava Flowshttps://vimeo.com/666125121Debris Avalanches and Landslideshttps://vimeo.com/666128789Health Hazards of Ashhttps://vimeo.com/666121806For over 45 years Michael Lienau has been an award-winning filmmaker and cinematographer, working in documentaries, television, feature films, commercials, corporate, government and new media.When Mount St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980, 20-year-old Michael Lienau was one of the first cinematographers to photograph the devastation around the mountain from the ground. Caught in the second largest eruption, the camera crew barely escaped with their lives. Michael's dramatic footage was seen worldwide in IMAX theaters and on television. His unforgettable experience on the mountain fueled a life-long desire to communicate his own story and those of other eyewitnesses in an independent dramatic documentary, “THE FIRE BELOW US: Remembering Mount St. Helens.” This seven-time award-winner became the longest running, most requested, highest rated independent film on National Geographic Television and was also seen internationally on Discovery Networks and PBS.His life changing experience at the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption led Michael to engage with world-class earth scientists to better understand Earth processes, including plate tectonics related to volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis. Much of Michael's affinity for science came from his father, a nuclear physicist who later became a leading expert in the development of geothermal resources around the world.Check out Michael's main website: Global Net ProductionsMajor Endorsements:!Rescheduled January 2025!

Episode 261 features Bill Mikita, Hollywood writer and film producer and Mike McCloud, creator of the World Food Championships. Bill Mikita is the writer and producer of the movie, Chasing 3000.  The movie is based on the true story of Bill and his brother's cross country trip to see Roberto Clemente get his 3,000th base hit.  The story of how this career lawyer became a Hollywood writer and film producer and was able to get Ray Liotta, among other celebrities to star in the movie is fascinating.  Some of those other celebrities include, Lauren Holly, M. Emmet Walsh, Lori Petty, Keith David, Trevor Morgan, Rory Culkin, Tania Raymonde, Seymour Cassel, and Willa Holland.  Bill gives us an inside look at the making of the film which, in its final form seemed improbable, but Bill persevered and the result is a wonderful movie.  Bill discusses his next project which is based on an amazing baseball game between two unbelievable teams and is a story you will not want to miss. Mike McCloud is focused on making Food Sport a long-term, fun-filled legacy for the culinary industry.  As the creator of the World Food Championships he appears to be on his way to doing that.  The first WFC competition was in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2012 where almost 300 culinary champions gathered to compete.  The event was filmed in 2013 for a reality show that aired 2014 on A&E's FYI Channel. WFC's 2014 competition grew 35% and culminated in the first $100,000 grand prize. In early 2016, WFC debuted its second television show on the Discovery Network and is now syndicated in 10 countries.  Fast forward to 2022 when the WFC celebrated its 10th anniversary and the brand achieved a record-setting media reach of more than 6 billion and the WFC's appeal continues to grow.   We conclude the show with the song, Baseball Always Brings You Home from the musician, Dave Dresser and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.

You know we love diving deep into conversations about personal transformation. For some of us, personal transformation comes when we find ourselves at a crossroads, causing us to question who we are and what we believe. Whether it's an ending of a relationship, the loss of a loved one, or a job layoff, these fork in the road moments can literally stop us in our tracks – leaving us questioning our purpose and how to move forward.One new expert in the field of crossroads navigation is our friend and former Discovery Networks colleague, Ami Angelowicz. Ami is an award-winning writer, producer and digital visionary, who led content development and strategy for women's lifestyle and entertainment brands, including Investigation Discovery, Travel Channel and discovery+. She recently launched her new company, Align Digital + Social, sold her first Hallmark Christmas movie and is the author of the Laid Off Life newsletter, which she calls “a place of respite for the weary workforce.”  Ami's brilliant and funny commentary is intended to help readers "navigate career uncertainty to feel seen, supported and entertained, regardless of employment status.”When we recently caught up with Ami, she had just published an update on her article called, “I Paid an Etsy Witch $13.69 to Cast A Job Spell For Me: And other Woo Woo Things I'm Doing to Land A Job.” So of course, we just knew we needed to have this conversation! Ami is here to share her crossroads journey and how she learned to surrender and approach this transition from the “inside out.”  She'll be sharing what she did to rediscover her purpose and help reframe her layoff as a Spiritual Gift.MORE FROM AMI ANGELOWICZVisit amiangelowicz.com for more about Ami and her work.  Follow her on LinkedIn at Ami Angelowicz and Instagram at amibeth78. Learn more about Ami's new company Align Digital + Social.Subscribe to Ami's newsletter Laid Off Life.Read Ami's Laid Off Life article  “I Paid an Etsy Witch $13.69 to Cast A Job Spell for Me”Visit theseekingcenter.com for more from Robyn + Karen, plus mega inspo -- and the best wellness + spiritual practitioners, products and experiences on the planet!

In my years as a casting director and talent development executive, I've observed that the secret to many of the most successful hosts and performers is that they understand how television production works and how their part of the show (or segment) fits into something larger than themselves. I saw this first hand when I booked my guest for this episode, Brian Balthazar, on Page Six TV back in the day, and he was always so great because he knew how to make good TV.  It's a treat to have him discuss and share actionable insights on how to think like a producer because Brian has built an impressive career simultaneously in front and behind the camera as a television host, producer and network executive. Brian is the executive producer and founder of Balthazar Entertainment, specializing in compelling lifestyle programming including Christina on the Coast and Tough Love with Hilary Farr for HGTV and My Dream Kitchen with Carla Hall on Food Network. Brian oversaw the launch of the fourth of Today with Kathie Lee and Hoda where he later became a beloved guest dishing pop culture and trends, was a co-executive producer of The View and was a vice president at Discovery Networks (now Warner Brothers Discovery) where he oversaw mega hits like Flip or Flop and my favorite, Love It or List It.  Key takeaways Production is not personal (even though it often feels that way) Never go to a pitch meeting with only one idea (your idea isn't that unique) If you are pitching yourself as talent, start self-producing examples on social media  There is not one right way to succeed. Find the way that is right for you. Be grateful for the opportunities Follow Brian on Instagram at @brianbalthazar…trust me, he's a fun poster!

Getting people to buy your services is the goal of all marketing efforts. On social media platforms you're there with all your rivals, competing for attention from clients that would be perfect for you (and THEM too!). The ever changing algorithms, rather than you, decide how your content will be promoted and who it will be shown to. A conversion process takes your prospects OFF social media and either gets them to book a call or buy something from you, in an environment that is controlled by you alone. Here we unravel the mystery behind the conversion process—what it is, why it's so important for your business, and how you can use it to achieve market-beating results. From attracting leads to nurturing prospects and closing sales, we'll guide you through each step of the conversion journey.

In this episode Jane talks about her personal experience of domestic abuse. Why it is more common than people think, and how to get help if you find yourself in a situation where you're either being abused, or are suffering from the after effects of an abusive relationship.

Sharing a personal experience, especially a traumatic one, is a particularly popular scripted podcast form. Memoir done well often shoots to the top of the podcast charts or the bestseller list. It moves us, leaves us breathless, inspires standing ovations and prompts us into conversations and confessions of our own. Sometimes memoir creates change.But memoir produced without first grappling with why your experience matters to others can sound cheap, sensation-grabbing, and empty. As listeners, readers, and viewers, we are bombarded with confessions.There is a fine line between transformative and indulgent.Moreover, stories of heartbreak are hard to choose to listen to these days, because the world is showering us with trauma. Given the circumstances, why make memoir?The decision to make the private public isn't easy. Nor should it be.In the first episode of Sound Judgment, Season 4, I explore this question with producer Maribel Quezada Smith, who shares her extraordinary experience with life and death in The Pulso Podcast piece, “The Latino Experience of Fertility: A Story of Pregnancy Loss.”It took Maribel two years to write and produce this remarkable story about the birth of her son — and the death of her daughter. Her story succeeds, in part, because she identified something fresh: Miscarriage and other forms of pregnancy loss are particularly common in the Latino community, Pulso's audience. And so is the incredible societal pressure to bear children, setting up an impossible, often hidden, conflict.That her story succeeds in transforming, not indulging, is evident in the piles of grateful responses she received from listeners who shared her experience, but who had never heard their story reflected out loud. Shame and secrecy had dogged their lives. Maribel's story brought in the light. Along the way, Maribel had to answer several questions for herself about motivation, format, theme, mood, and point of view. Which private moments should she capture on tape? How much could she bear? To whom did she owe privacy? Which scenes and reflections would create momentum — and which pieces would she have to leave out?Maribel Quezada Smith is a bilingual video and podcast producer and the founder of Diferente Creative. Her video credits include producing TV shows for Discovery Networks, Netflix, TLC and A&E, and digital content for brands like AARP, NBC GolfNow and SquadCast FM. Her podcasting credits include Sacred Scandal (iHeart), Birdies Not BS and Pulso Podcast, to name a few. In 2021, Maribel co-founded BIPOC Podcast Creators, an organization devoted to amplifying the voices and stories of people of color.Maribel's passion is creating meaningful, standout content.
