We hear people all the time saying, "They're high-strung."  "I'm easily offended."  "I get angry easily." Mike Tyson says, "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face." I used to get mad all the time, and I'd find ways to justify it.  I ended up running people off.  As a result, I attracted other high-strung, angry people and as a result, there would always be a blow-up.  This cycle was affecting my friendships, my family, and my business.  I have a mentor and long-time friend, Mike Wolfe who told me if I ever get mad, write an email, but don't send it.  As soon as I started controlling my anger, my life got better.  If you're high-strung, do something to help you release the anxiety, and pressure before you blow and destroy your life and everything you've built.  Surround yourself with calm people.  People who have processed their traumas and issues.  Work out.  Eat healthy.  And don't make excuses for poor behavior.  It's better to be revered and loved than to be feared.  #RiseAbove   HOW TO GET INVOLVED:  This planet is based on an algorithm and with every positive action, there is an adverse reaction.  Ryan Stewman rose and overcame a life of addiction, imprisonment, divorce, and circumstances that would break the spirit of the average human being.  He went on to create a powerful network of winners and champions in life and business creating a movement quickly changing lives one day at a time.  Learn more at: www.JoinTheApex.com   Check out this show and previous killer episodes of the ReWire Podcast in Apple Podcasts.

Dallas Thomas picked up a guitar and became a prolific Lucy's regular when he was just 14-years-old and barely able to lift his amp, playing with his friends in Fingerhutt, High Strung, Brown Cow, Little Monkey on a Stick, and Boobyhatch (to name just a few). And he was just getting started. After Lucy's, Dallas, Erik Holcombe, John Roberson and Chris Fox formed the “satanic thrash rock juggernaut” that was Asschapel. For seven years Asschapel toured the Western world. They even made it to Bosnia using only a German map, where they met that country's version of House O' Pain's Don Kendall. After the wild and bittersweet Asschapel ride, Dallas volunteered for a Hurricane Katrina relief organization which, sadly, left him disillusioned but, happily, helped him find his way back to playing music. For the next ten years Dallas would once again tour the world, this time with the experimental post-metal band Pelican. Now a father Dallas is exploring his hardcore roots as a member of READY FOR DEATH, a new band set to release their first record in December.  At the end of each interview I always ask if there is something we didn't get to that the guest would like to talk about. Usually everyone says no. Dallas surprised me when he said yes. But I wasn't surprised when what he wanted to talk about was his dad, Bill, who took supportive parenting to a whole new level. - READY FOR DEATH is a new Chicago-based death-thrash outfit made up of current and former members of Pelican, Racetraitor, Indecision, Annihilus, Luggage, Haggathorn, and Asschapel.

There is someone who desperately wants to keep you small, insecure, and obsessed with trying to be anyone but your true self. Who you really are, especially as a strong woman- is a FORCE, and a force that is dangerous to the darkness of this world.

For as long as I can remember- I have felt things deeply. I mean- I don't have little passing feelings- I have big, deep strong feelings that rattle my soul. I have strong reactions to things and a mind that often will not stop. I have a tiger that roars in my chest- and for most of my life, I believed it was a curse. I have been the walking definition of "High Strung" every day that I have lived- and it often caused me great pain, loss, and grief. But about a decade ago- God began a surprising and powerful work in my life that started with a fuzzy old VHS tape of me at 3 years old. At that point in my life- I was so repressed, tired, and angry from trying so hard to be quieter, less passionate, and less intimidating- I couldn't believe that the tiny dancing, smiling, wild and free little thing on that screen was me. Today I introduce the first chapter of my book "Confessions Of A High Strung Woman" here on my podcast, and I hope it begins similar healing in your own beautiful wild soul my sister. If you like what you hear- you can buy the book on Amazon (audiobook coming soon!)AMAZON LINK To Buy My Book "Confessions Of A High Strung WomanJoin me on Instagram @AbbiwalkerofficialFacebook Group Link- The High Strung SisterHood

We are very pleased to have Bestselling Author Josh Malerman on the show for the first time. You will know Josh from his breakthrough book "BirdBox", which was a hit on Netflix, that starred Sandra Bullock. Josh Malerman is an American author of novels and short stories. Before publishing his debut novel Bird Box with ECCO/HarperCollins, he wrote fourteen novels, never having shopped one of them. Being the singer/songwriter of the Detroit rock band The High Strung, Malerman toured the country for six years, as the band played an average of 250 shows a year, and Malerman wrote many of the rough drafts for these novels in the passenger seat between cities on tour. He says this about those days: “I never saw the books with dollar signs in my eyes. It was no hobby, that's for sure, it was the real thing and always has been, but I was happy, then, simply writing, and while I blindly assumed they'd be published one day, I had no idea how something like that occurred.” As the pile of rough drafts grew, so did the questions as to what he was planning on doing with them. Malerman often says that he lived long in a “glorious delusion” in which he took part in phantom interviews, pretended to have an agent, debated with fictitious editors, and placed invisible hardcover books upon his shelves. It wasn't until a friend from high school, Dave Simmer, contacted him that those delusions became reality. Simmer, having worked with authors and properties in Hollywood, asked Malerman's permission to send one of his books to some people he knew in the book business. Malerman heartily agreed and the pair sent out Goblin, a collection of novellas that all take place in the titular city of Goblin. From there, a team was assembled and Malerman suddenly found himself speaking with a real agent and debating with actual editors. He says this of the part Simmer played in his career: “There were two things at play at that point in time; one, Dave was a ghostly benefactor, golden hearted and smart, descending from the sky to help me. And two, what may sound like some luck couldn't have become fortunate if I wasn't armed with a dozen novels to talk shop with.” A limited edition of Goblin is set for publication on Halloween of 2017, through Earthling Publications. "Goblin": Goblin seems like any other ordinary small town. But with the master storyteller Josh Malerman as your tour guide, you'll discover the secrets that hide behind its closed doors. These six novellas tell the story of a place where the rain is always falling, nighttime is always near, and your darkest fears and desires await. Welcome to Goblin. . . . A Man in Slices: A man proves his “legendary love” to his girlfriend with a sacrifice even more daring than Vincent van Gogh's—and sends her more than his heart. Kamp: Walter Kamp is afraid of everything, but most afraid of being scared to death. As he sets traps around his home to catch the ghosts that haunt him, he learns that nothing is more terrifying than fear itself. Happy Birthday, Hunter!: A famed big-game hunter is determined to capture—and kill—the ultimate prey: the mythic Great Owl who lives in Goblin's dark forests. But this mysterious creature is not the only secret the woods are keeping. Presto: All Peter wants is to be like his hero, Roman Emperor, the greatest magician in the world. When the famous magician comes to Goblin, Peter discovers that not all magic is just an illusion. A Mix-Up at the Zoo: The new zookeeper feels a mysterious kinship with the animals in his care . . . and finds that his work is freeing...
