Douglas Richards is a skeptic turned believer but he's also a new york times best selling author, who has done his due research and has the facts on the navy ufo sightings. In this podcast, he gets into the nimitz encounter, it wasnt just a tic tac that was seen there were hundreds of ufo's being seen all in the last days leading up to the tic tac, with ufo's going in and out of the ocean. Richards goes on and talks about how fast some of these things go, they are capable of going about 5000 g's whereas a typical pilot can handle 10 or 20 g's. Also he doesnt deny that these arent some of our own craft as he's also got facts on Navy filing a patent for their own ufos, and research the government did on warp drives, wormholes and stargates.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 10, 2020 is: spontaneous spahn-TAY-nee-us adjective 1 : proceeding from natural feeling or native tendency without external constraint 2 : arising from a momentary impulse 3 : controlled and directed internally : self-acting 4 : produced without being planted or without human labor : indigenous 5 : developing or occurring without apparent external influence, force, cause, or treatment 6 : not apparently contrived or manipulated : natural Examples: "'You're coming to San Diego?' said Courtney excitedly. 'I am. I've decided to be spontaneous for once.' She paused. 'Which means that the visit is on short notice. Sorry about that.'" — Douglas E. Richards, The Cure, 2013 "The key, Strassman says, is to give employees opportunities to spend unstructured work time together. Such moments can reduce social isolation and increase spontaneous collaboration and creativity—while not adding more meetings to already-full calendars." — Barbara Z. Larson, Harvard Business Review, 27 Oct. 2020 Did you know? When English philosopher Thomas Hobbes penned his 1656 The Questions Concerning Liberty, Necessity, and Chance he included the following: "all voluntary actions … are called also spontaneous, and said to be done by man's own accord." Hobbes was writing in English, but he knew Latin perfectly well too, including the source of spontaneous; the word comes, via Late Latin spontaneus, from the Latin sponte, meaning "of one's free will, voluntarily." In modern use, the word spontaneous is frequently heard in more mundane settings, where it often describes what is done or said without a lot of thought or planning.

Kraig, Dave and I talked about the outdoor and adventure travel industries, podcasting, their numerous adventures and much, much more. Facebook Twitter Instagram The Outdoor Biz Podcast Please give us a rating and review HERE Show Notes First Exposure to the Outdoors Kraig- it was totally by accident. About a 12 and a half years ago, I started a little blog called the adventure blog, just to write about the things that I was interested in. From this idea that everything in the world had been done. Everest had been climbed, people had been to the North pole and I was telling my friends, no, it's not true. There's lots of cool stuff going on. So I started this little blog and over the span of about a year, year and a half, it started to pick up some traction. I'd write about my own adventures and travels, but also things that other people were doing. And here we are, a more than a decade later, the blog is still going. Dave- I went about it completely the other way. I was always a doer. I did my first iron man when I was 50, I taught mountaineering and did all kinds of crazy stuff. I got into adventure racing kind of by accident. Basically we saw this show on Eco-Challenge Borneo, gosh, 10 years or so ago. A buddy and I were running at Farragut state park here and I said, you know, I saw this eco Borneo thing. I'm going to do an adventure race. I said, I mean, how hard could it be? And he said, great, I'm in. So we started attending these races and of course made the fatal mistake. We actually won our first race through a weird set of circumstances. And of course, then you're hooked. Things we talked about The Adventure Podcast The Adventure Podcast Episode 71: An Interview with Rick Saez of the Outdoor Biz Podcast Kraig's book: Reaching Beyond Boundaries, Overcoming Obstacles, Facing Your Fears The Adventure Podcast Episode 56: Chad Salmela The Adventure Podcast - Episode 26: Turning Micro-Adventures into Macro-Adventures The Adventure Podcast - Episode 18: How to Earn a Living in the Outdoor and Adventure Industry Other Outdoor Activities Dave- Mountain Bike, Run, Mountaineering, Paddling Kraig- Running, Cycling, Biking, Hiking Advice Kraig- be persistent and stick with it. Because if you keep chasing that dream, you can find a way in and there are a lot of avenues into the outdoor industry these days. You don't need to be a media guy, or working in a retail store, whatever. There's a lot of different ways, and we talked about it on that podcast. There are so many different ways to get in and do things. So I would say, from the 30,000-foot view, identify what your passion is, go after it and don't give up. Dave- just start. say, okay I have a goal. I want to do this. But then you've got to be flexible enough to change too. Many people came into the industry thinking they were going to do this and now here they are being a PR person for that. Or they went and got a degree in this thinking that was going to be the way and now they've completely changed around and now they're in marketing. I mean there are so many people that have a plan but then, something comes up and you change. And the main thing is, just don't give up. You just keep going.

“Every technology has great things that it can do and horrible things that it can do.” Douglas E. Richards is a New York Times bestselling science fiction author.

Prior to working full-time as an author, he was a biochemist at a number of different pharmaceutical companies.

In today’s episode, Douglas explains how he transferred his experience in labs and the business world to being an author, how he aggressively researches his books and why the best way to break into the world of publishing is to go at it without an expectation of success.

Douglas E. Richards has been widely praised for his ability to weave action, suspense, and science into riveting novels that brilliantly straddle the thriller and science fiction genres. He is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of WIRED, its sequel, AMPED, THE CURE, and six critically acclaimed middle-grade adventures enjoyed by kids and adults alike. A former biotech executive, Richards earned a BS in microbiology from the Ohio State University, a master's degree in genetic engineering from the University of Wisconsin (where he engineered mutant viruses now named after him), and an MBA from the University of Chicago. Richards currently lives in San Diego, California, with his wife, two children, and two dogs. Here's a brief selection of the description for "The Cure," his latest work: Psychopaths cause untold misery. If you found the cure for this condition, just how far would you go to use it? Erin Palmer had a devastating encounter with a psychopath as a child. Now a grad student and scientist, she's devoting her life to studying these monsters. When her research catches the attention of Hugh Raborn, a brilliant neuroscientist who claims to have isolated the genes responsible for psychopathic behavior, Erin realizes it may be possible to reverse the condition, restoring souls to psychopaths. But to do so, she'll not only have to operate outside the law, but violate her most cherished ethical principles. "The Cure" is available on Amazon.com and you can learn more about Douglas at http://douglaserichards.com
One out of a hundred of us are psychopathic, according to experts. One out of a hundred! And while it's true that 20% of our prison populations are comprised of psychopaths, the majority are non-violent. Think Bernie Madoff and Anthony Weiner, not just Hannibal Lecter. You can find them everywhere: in the office next door, at school, or while dating. New York Times bestselling author, Douglas E. Richards, joins host Michele Mattia at 2pm ET for an engaging hour to discuss his latest book The Cure! As a former biotech executive with a master's in genetic engineering, Douglas is known for writing best selling novels containing accurate, meticulously researched science. Richards believes the prevalence of psychopaths among politicians is at epidemic proportions. “Psychopaths are deceitful, narcissistic backstabbers," says Richards. "When caught in a bald-faced lie, they don't get embarrassed, they just switch gears and move on. If you follow politics at all,” he adds, “these behaviors are all too familiar.” If you have questions or comments during today's show, please call the studio at 714.333.3349, email the show Connect@MicheleMattia.com or post on Michele's Life Design Facebook page.
