Brett advocates for allowing presidential candidates to hire private security, funded by the government, due to perceived threats against figures like Donald Trump.  He criticizes comments made by Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, who spoke about "extinguishing" Trump, and reflects on the general state of the political landscape, including remarks from Nancy Pelosi regarding Trump and Kamala Harris. Winterble concludes by highlighting Trump's charitable actions during the Maui fires, contrasting his approach with governmental inefficiencies.  We're joined by Coach Matt Doherty from to talk about the current political landscape, particularly focusing on the upcoming election featuring Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. And the impact of public perception, and the role of sports and community in political engagement.    Bo Thompson  from Good Morning BT is also here for this Wednesday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about the upcoming presidential election, highlighting the frequent visits of candidates to Charlotte and the significance of North Carolina as a battleground state. They mention the heightened political activity, especially in light of recent news surrounding Mark Robinson  The conversation shifts to an approaching hurricane, with Thompson reminiscing about Hurricane Hugo from 1989 and its lasting impact on Charlotte, including power outages and damage from fallen trees.

If you live on the East Coast, there is one word that's pretty sure to get your attention - hurricane. Yep! I'll tell you, Hurricane Hugo was one of those mega storms that really got our attention. You could watch the news for several nights before Hugo arrived. And they would show you this cyclonic circle inching across the weather map toward, well at that point, an uncertain destination. Half a million people were evacuated from Florida to the Carolinas, not knowing where that destructive little circle on the map was going to land. Finally, it became clear that Hugo's 130-mile-an-hour winds were going to slam ashore at Charleston, South Carolina. Now, the challenge for public officials was to convince everyone that it was time to move. The mayor at the time gave a very solemn warning to the people there. He was quoted as saying, "Hugo is a killer! If you stay, you may very well die." That was true then; that's still true today. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Dying From Doing Nothing." Our word for today from the Word of God comes from the prophet Ezekiel in the Old Testament. Chapter 18, beginning in verse 30, he says, "Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall. Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart; a new spirit." And then God asks a very pointed question. He might be asking you this today, "Why will you die?" Then He turns it around and He says, "Repent and live." In the Bible the word repent always refers to changing your mind about your sin. Whatever you've been cuddling and tolerating in your life that's wrong, displeasing to God, you turn your back on it. You change your mind about God and you pin all your hopes on Him instead of on you. Remember that mayor of Charleston who said the hurricane was a killer? Well, God's trying to tell us here sin is not to mess with. It's a killer! With a hurricane, those who don't leave might survive. But when it comes to sin, there are no survivors. There are eternal consequences of not dealing with our sin. But sin kills us even now. It kills marriages, it damages the people you love with your temper, and ruins the beauty and purity of sex, and it destroys your reputation. See, the people who die in a hurricane don't have to do anything to be killed by it. No, they die from doing nothing; just staying where they are. And that's how it is with sin. All you have to do to have this life cheapened by sin is to do nothing. All you have to do to spend eternity in hell instead of heaven is to do nothing. Stay where you are and sin will kill you. God says, "Rid yourself of your sin. Get a new heart." And you can only do that in one place. It's the cross where Christ died for you; where He took all the fury of all God's judgment, for all your sin and mine and paid for it out of His love for us. He said, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." He was forgiving you and me when He said that. He was giving us the possibility of a new beginning; that new heart the Bible talks about. God's been warning you. He's saying, "If you stay where you are, you'll die." In the words of the book of Hebrews, "How shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation?" Don't flirt with disaster. In fact, that's why He had me talk about this. He wants you ready to meet Him. If you want to be sure you're ready for that appointment with God that you will keep on His schedule; if you want to be sure you've begun your love relationship with Him; if you want to be sure you'll never meet your sin on Judgment Day, this is your day to get started with Jesus, the One who died to pay for your sin and walked out of His grave so He could walk into your life. That's what our website's all about. It's about having this most important relationship. It's called ANewStory.com, and that's the right name to call it, because that's where your new story can begin. Would you go there? Move away from living your own way, because the storm is closer than it's ever been to your coast. It's time to flee right now to the safety of the cross of Jesus Christ.

It's a running theme on this show: Charleston is chock full of haunted hotels. We can add The Francis Marion Hotel to that list, as it is said to be haunted by a man who took his own life after being rejected by his lover. Also, the Angel Oak in Charleston is one of the oldest trees this side of the Mississippi River. Many people come from all over to take in its beauty and admire its ability to withstand many horrendous storms over the years, including Hurricane Hugo. Some even say that is brings a ghostly energy at night. And later, we have a short story from the book Spooky South Carolina about a man who encountered a ghost on the infamous Crybaby Bridge.

In 1995, he co-founded the Weather Underground, and served as its chief meteorologist and on its Board of Directors until it was sold to the Weather Company in 2012. Between 2005-2019, his Category 6 blog was one of the Internet's most popular and widely quoted sources of extreme weather and climate change information. He now frequently writes for YALE Climate Connections. On Twitter: @DrJeffMasters In the discussion we address: Jeff's incredible Hurricane Hugo experience. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report and going beyond the ‘planetary boundaries of safe operation for the planet.' Jeff's important ideas to understand about climate change. Jeff discusses his two biggest climate concerns - the disruptive threats from sea level rise and drought, including: A potential ‘massive financial threat to the US.' Jeff says, ‘we're not correctly pricing risk…there threatens to be a shakeout in the…market' and he notes insurance company struggles in Florida, Louisiana and California as examples before discussing the potential cascading effects associated with humans fleeing from the coasts. Threats to critical infrastructure, including real estate, water and wastewater, transportation and supply chains.

The Gray Man is a ghost reportedly seen on the coast of Pawleys Island, South Carolina that warns residents of coming severe storms and hurricanes. Although there are many variations of the legend, most say the Gray Man was first seen in 1822, three years before the town government was incorporated. The last reported sighting was just before Hurricane Florence hit in 2018 and previously just before Hurricane Hugo hit the area in 1989. Legend holds that the Gray Man is the ghost of a young man traveling from Charleston to see his fiancée in 1822. On the way, he and his horse were caught in quicksand-like pluff mud in the marshes before Pawleys Island, and died. His spirit has haunted the shore nearby ever since, looking for the girl he loved.

In today's show we chat with former WCT surfer Gabe Kling  @gabe_kling .  He tells us about growing up  with his older brother in Florida,  and how tagging along with him  to surf gave him exposure to  waves that were pretty big for him at a young age. Gabe talks about how as a youth he knew that we was going to be a pro surfer, and his Dad telling him, that he needed a plan B, but there never was a plan B. He reveals that the first few years as a pro, he enjoyed traveling and making friends surfing, and didn't start getting serious about contest until he got a little bit more clear headed in his mid 20's.  He tells us about falling off tour and how he made it back on to the WCT. Gabe tells us his thoughts about the new WSL format and about how Kelly Slater still  is surfing at a crazy high level. And did Gabe almost drown twice while surfing during Hurricane Hugo?

In this episode of FMC Fast Chat, we go behind the scenes in extreme weather forecasting with one of the world's foremost experts, Jeff Masters, Ph.D., author at Yale Climate Connections, co-founder of Weather Underground and former NOAA Hurricane Hunter. From how weather and forecasting tools have changed over the decades to the impact of hurricanes and drought on our lives and wallets, this chat culminates in the ultimate question everyone has been asking: Can this planet be saved?  Masters also provides insight on the best places to find quality information on climate change and gives the best answer we've ever heard to climate change deniers. Plus, what the news media does badly in covering extreme weather, and does the weather have a soul? This is an informative, fast-moving 30-minute listen. ABOUT JEFF MASTERS, Ph.D. Jeff Masters, Ph.D., worked as a hurricane scientist with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters from 1986-1990. After a near-fatal flight into category 5 Hurricane Hugo, he left the Hurricane Hunters to pursue a safer passion - earning a 1997 Ph.D. in air pollution meteorology from the University of Michigan. In 1995, he co-founded the Weather Underground, and served as its chief meteorologist and on its Board of Directors until it was sold to the Weather Company in 2012. Between 2005-2019, his Category 6 blog was one of the Internet's most popular and widely quoted sources of extreme weather and climate change information.

There is nothing funny about a Hurricane I was at ground zero for Hurricane Hugo when it destroyed Charleston SC. There are however lesson learned not just in emergency response and preparation but in agile leadership. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things translates directly to you and your organization. There is a process these people have followed that "wired "them to step up when most do not or can not. Enjoy this episode and keep the people of Florida in your thoughts and prayers.

It's been 33 years since Hurricane Hugo arrived in the Carolinas. The infamous storm, which impacted coastal and inland Carolina alike, is still ingrained in us over three decades later.

We talk with Jeff about the Gulf Loop Current and his harrowing trip through Hurricane Hugo.

This week, an encore episode from the Carolina Weather Group archive. After 33 years forecasting the weather for Charlotte viewers of WBTV-TV, Chief Meteorologist Eric Thomas retired at the end of 2021. In a special sitdown interview with the Carolina Weather Group's Scotty Powell, Eric revisits his 3-decade career, including historic coverage of Hurricane Hugo, tornadoes, and other severe weather events. Eric also outlines the evolution of his career - from television into the age of streaming technology and social media. From our archive: Hurricane Hugo anniversary special: https://youtu.be/Qz6W0RCmjZ4 Starting in 1988, Eric would oversee the creation and growth of Channel 3's functioning weather center as the Queen City's first degreed meteorologist on TV. As Eric explains, his degree and career track can be attributed to his father: Who encouraged him to seek the weather education ahead of a plan to go into the United States military and flight school. Eric, who had always dreamed of becoming a commercial airline pilot, studied the atmosphere and meteorology in college. A medical limitation that caused him to fail out of basic training, landed him into his storied career as a forecaster. Eric shares his own personal story of being given up for adoption and the loving family who took him in as their own. Eric has been paying that forward through local efforts in the Charlotte community to help families and children be united through adoption and fostering. Eric is also currently involved in the Carolina Radar project, a cooperative public-private initiative meant to help Charlotte solve its radar coverage issues. From our archive: The Carolina Radar Project: https://youtu.be/ySo45gwvIx8 In this unique opportunity to sit down and talk at WBTV studios, the Carolina Weather Group's Scotty Powell explains how Eric mentored him into a life of weather. And stay tuned until the very end for surprise messages from Eric's fellow meteorologists - colleagues and competitors alike.

My guest today and I met at an EXGO Reunion in Cancun in 2008 or 2010 (we're both not sure), but his first season was in Club Med Turks and Caicos in 1989 as a Sailing and Windsurfing G.O. Fun Fact: he did not know how to do either of those things!! Everyone, please help me welcome, from Vancouver, Cheez! Before Club Med, Cheez (Glenn Jensen) was at the start of a three-month, ten-stop Pacific Rim tour with his brother Jenner and friend, Hammer. They stopped off at Club Med Moorea before the trip began and met Hansel Moss there, who was the Chief of Sports. The rest they say is history. Cheez might be the only G.O I know of who bought an acre of land while he was an au pair at Turks in '89 and then sold said acre years later for a tidy profit. He had the chance to buy more acres in Turks and become very well off, but I will let Cheez tell that story! Hurricane Hugo hit Turks that year and he was evacuated to Sandpiper. Cheez then went to Playa Blanca in November of 1989 as a Sailing G.O., but wound up doing circus as well. He got married in February of 1992 in Paradise Island where Jenner was working and conceived his daughter Emily (her episode link is posted below) there on his honeymoon. He has many stories to tell so please enjoy this episode with Cheez! **My First Season podcast has always been free to listen to and is available on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Samsung Podcasts, Podbean App, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pandora and Listen Notes.

NOTE: Made for listening :). The transcript is included below if reading is better for you. A hurricane took away the first thing I bought with my own money. Not quite a teenager yet, a summer of washing dishes resulted in $345. Every penny went to a new camera and film. Unfortunately, that camera, and all of those photos, were lost in 1989 in Hurricane Hugo - but my love for light and art wasn't. With photography, you can stop the world from spinning. With the right light, and perspective, you can capture something compelling. Photography is about perspective. You have to stop and see what is there. If you aren't present, you'll miss it.Technically it is light that makes photos and how much you let hit the film is what matters. This is purely the mechanical opening and closing of a small part of the lens - the aperture. Ego plays a similar role. When you approach things with a strong ego, it's like looking through a paper towel tube held up to your eye. This gives you a very limited point of view. When you check your ego, you put down that tube and let in the light. It doesn't mean you have to change your mind, but at least you are not confined to a narrow perspective. There are 7.9 billion perspectives on this mostly blue ball - this should make us excited, not defensive. It is impossible for us to all have the same perspective and that is wonderful. Yet we often enter conversations with a need to either be right or not wrong. The person across from you has been through a life and collected so much. Your time with them is an opportunity to learn. How do you get comfortable with the idea that you've run into someone who can teach you something? Who may change your mind? Who may shift your perspective? I recently re-read To Kill A Mocking Bird and I love this line from Atticus Finch: “You never really understand a person until you consider things from their point of view...until you climb into their skin and walk around in it.”When we listen, everyone winsListening is a win/win for everyone. The listener gets to take in perspective, knowledge, and maybe even wisdom. The speaker gets to be heard, feel special, and experience someone caring about them. Loving them. When we take the time to listen, we learn. What is essential about listening, and maybe this is where it is lost, is it doesn't mean agreeing. No rule says, “You can try and teach me, but I must teach you too.” It's not a competitionSociety has put us in a position where we think we have to compete. We are constantly scrolling through competition. If you are better, I'm worse. If you are winning, I'm losing. We are all on very different paths. We all have different hopes, dreams, talents, advantages, and struggles. What's easy for you is hard for me. What's easy for me is hard for you. Our equations are different, yet we find it incredibly easy to compare ourselves. That is all self-induced, and it needs to stop. Stopping is about stoppingStop Moving: Stop moving in your mind and stop moving physically. Square up and focus. When someone is talking, listen. If you care, take notes and ask questions. Treat them like a teacher and seek to understand. Say “Tell me more” until there is no more. Stop Comparing: You CAN win without someone losing. If you genuinely care about yourself, stop letting your ego get in the way of your progress. Your competition is in the mirror, not out the window. Stop Competing: We win when we get better - whatever better means to you. The truth is, you may find more joy and peace in helping others win. Stop Being Unkind: The words we use matter. Words like “please” and “thank you.” Words like, “tell me more.” Also, words like “you are right.” Or especially words like, “I was wrong.” When you agree with someone, don't hesitate to say “you are right.” Just make sure it is followed by a period not a “but.”Life is just perspective. And while it may seem that we can control very little, we can always control our perspective.Finally, I'll leave you with this beautiful exchange between Scout and Atticus - again from To Kill a Mockingbird - Scout says: “Atticus, he was real nice...” Atticus replies:“Most people are Scout, when you finally see them.”Take care out there.

Such a lovely world —if it weren't for the people!Let's get rid of them.* * *In the last segment on Precepts & Putin, I finally got around to asking what all these ethical and political issues have to do with Design thinking, pointing out that even such large-scale dilemmas are subject to analysis and problem definition, with design intent being the underlying premise. What kind of intent rationalizes waging war, visiting death and destruction upon fellow human beings? What is the intent behind the design of the defense of Ukraine? Which of these is worthy of admiration and emulation?Usually we ascribe good intentions to those programs of action designed to yield the greatest good for the greatest number. And usually the politicos profile their cause in those terms. But it seems that the majority of actions ostensibly taken on behalf of something greater than ourselves, upon closer examination, reveal the same old group of benefactors benefitting from corruption and graft, with other groups, such as draftees, conscripted or mercenaries, suffering the negative consequences. Not to mention innocent civilians. Designing around such human faults is the central problem of government.Hypothetical solutions to international tensions include designing governing systems that will meet the needs of the populace without requiring the acquisition of goods and services, revenue and resources, from others, especially against their will. Setting aside the human motives in prosecuting a war of aggression, which may range from relatively rational impulses, such as gaining access to seaports and land bridges, to fantasies of power and glory, or myths and cultural memes. Self-sufficiency seems to be a worthy aspiration that has fallen by the wayside in a world-around pursuit of ever-greater consumption and materialistic lifestyles. The age-old question of how much is enough, manifested in traditional Zen monastics as limited to seven possessions, and in Design as the self-sustaining systems of minimal life support on the International Space Station. The question of reliability of the replenishment of supplies through a Russian-sponsored program came up as a sideshow of the Ukraine debacle.So it is self-evident that Design as a problem-solving process has limitations. In cases of widespread madness, which is a known issue in history, but even more acute in an age of global interconnectedness through the internet of satellite-supported mobile media, the most we can do is design our personal response to the continuing crisis. In doing so, we may come up with an approach that has scalability, in other words that is widely adaptable by others. Hunkering down in basements and fortified buildings is the last-resort option we witness the survivors in the cities of Ukraine that are under siege. But we are all under siege, whether we recognize it or not.During the Cold War we were told that the Soviet Union not only posed the threat of nuclear Armageddon, but actually had designs on invading the USA. I would try to imagine what that would be like. The logic of invading and trying to control something as sprawling and ungovernable as a whole country escapes me. It is now clear that even a small country like Ukraine is not going to be a pushover.But in the absence of an aggressive incursion ever materializing — knock wood — we are still facing homegrown takeovers of the political system by factions that may not preserve the precious freedoms we have come to take for granted. Behind that wave of anxiety recycling at a frequency of every two years or less — the endless election campaign — we have the threat of another pandemic. And looming over all, on the not-too distant horizon, the emerging, relentless cataclysm of climate change. On what planet do you have to live, to decide that now would be the perfect time to wage a war?Instead of throwing up our hands in despair, let's consider the Design approach.As designers, we are trained to approach development of the new in a systematic way, usually for a client group with fairly clear goals and objectives. One of the fundamental principles of applied design is that we focus our efforts on altering the environment, rather than attempting to alter the people directly, or for that matter, the various members of client organizations. Design stops short at the edge of psychology, or management training, although those systems are also subject to design, in a sense.Another important principle is that the design process works best when conducted as a dialog, or an evolutionary group process. Methods have evolved for gathering and integrating input from large numbers of “stakeholders” or end-users into the design of any program. In fact, this was the topic of my Master's thesis at the Institute of Design. Executed well, this approach generally results in more satisfactory, long-lived solutions than an “ivory-tower” approach, where a strong individual or subgroup develops and dictates decisions on design intent with little or no input from the folks they are trying to effect, the end users and purchasers of the product or service.The process necessarily proceeds in phases, which, while not truly distinct and separate, have rather logical starting and ending points. These are usually defined as something like the following:Phase I — Problem DefinitionPhase II — Concept DesignPhase III — Design DetailingPhase IV — Prototyping & Beta-testingPhase V — Production & DistributionWe might be well-advised to look at our daily Zen practice in the light of these phases. While the design of anything new involves creative intuition, insight, and other immeasurable attributes, the process inevitably cycles through some version of these stages, with measurable results based on acceptance of the target market segments. Of course, the whole project often goes “back to the drawing board” — nowadays the computer interface — again and again, for revisions and re-development. In fact, the design process can be said to never be truly final, as it is responsive to ever-changing conditions and needs. This open-ended viewpoint may be frustrating to those who long for instant closure. In that, it is like zazen training. Design is akin to the Zen outlook, which regards nothing so dependable or “given,” as change. Let's look more thoroughly at the first phase, Problem Definition.The word “problem” has a somewhat negative connotation. Because in the business environment we generally want to emphasize the positive (business can be a somewhat paranoid context), we tend to use the word “opportunity” instead. Or we will refer to it as “Project Definition.” For our purposes, let's stick with “problem,” at least for now.What, exactly, is the “problem”? Why do we want, or feel we need, to establish a Zen Center, for example? Why not just practice alone, assuming we've decided we want, or need, to practice? We can point to many teachings of the Ancestors which admonish us that the “real” Zen is not the province of the loner, but is to be found in the “marketplace” in concert and interaction with our fellow beings. We can also point to the practical, enlightened self interest aspects of forming a sitting group: the social and psychological support of the group for the individual, and the sharing of responsibilities, as well as understanding.As we discussed at length in the “Priest & Householder” segment of the podcast, dana, the practice of generosity, includes providing the conducive environment for practice. Part of that aspect of being truly conducive to Zen practice is the respected tradition of face-to-face training, which has been set aside during the last two years of enforced isolation and social distancing owing to the covid pandemic. As in any creative process, it is natural to challenge any assumptions, including that the in-person form of training may not be necessary. So the stressors around the social dimensions of training — in any area of endeavor, including Zen — become a salient factor in redefining the problem of personal practice.The haiku poem at the beginning of another segment reads:Dharma and KarmaDharma trumps karma,but it is not an escape —Consequences comeSome would fault Zen or Buddhism for failing to adequately address larger issues, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death, “…given authority over a quarter of the earth, to kill with sword, famine, and plague, and by means of the beasts of the earth…” Revelations chapter 6, according to Wikipedia, our current Bible, or Tower of Babble, depending on your viewpoint. Add to that the causes and conditions of climate change, covid, and access to nukes, and you have the devil not only in the details, but consequences on a global scale. Great timing for waging a war. But it is not the fault of Zen Buddhism that we are facing these disasters. In fact, Buddhism teaches this very Dharma lesson, that karma is not individuated but collective. We share karmic consequences of the decisions of our leaders, however benighted. It is their very lack of dharma that is the problem.It is possible, from the perspective of Design, to anticipate problems caused by human ignorance and willfulness resulting in interventions in the predictability of natural processes, such as climate cycles. It is within the realm of possibility that we can design and build personal sanctuary to survive the worst that Mother Nature can throw at us, in her efforts to bring about a rebalancing of the planetary forces that we have trifled with for the sake of short-term profit, ephemeral power, and self-aggrandizement. For example, some tried and true approaches can limit the impact of weather upon our domiciles. Such as earth berm housing, covering the shelter with layers of earth to protect and insulate the interior from the elements. Use of unconventional building materials and joining systems can result in earthquake- and hurricane-proof construction, as one of the members of our former affiliate in Charleston, SC specialized in. He and friends rode out Hurricane Hugo in 1989 in one of his buildings, which didn't lose so much as a shingle. Homes in the direct path of blowtorch-like tornadic winds face a different dilemma, but clearing surrounding forest, controlled brush fires and the like, as Native Americans performed as stewards of the forestland, can mitigate the damage.Individual householders can take these drastic steps to protect themselves and their properties, if they have the wherewithal and perseverance. Survivalists have historically built bomb shelters and taken other extreme measures, including arming themselves to the teeth, in preparation for the worst dystopian futures imaginable. But the cost is enormous, both in resource investment, and quality of life.On the other hand, persuading large groups of people, and governments, to forego their wasteful and indulgent lifestyles for the sake of practical adaptation to predictable outcomes of depleting and wasting resources for the sake of short-term goals, is, to say the least, a known issue.The design of government, in the context of a world economy, where every functioning component is increasingly interdependent with every other — another familiar Buddhist principle — is another seemingly intractable problem. It is the “tragedy of the commons” writ large, where so-called leaders of local government gain power running on platforms of populism or nationalism, playing to the weakness of the people who want to believe that their lives and fortunes are independent of those of the rest of humanity around the globe.It is apparently even a daydream in the eye of the wealthy that they, or their heirs, can escape Earth to settle another globe, such as Mars, in due time. This is where science fiction meets fantasy. And reality is left to take the hindmost, along with the Devil. Disposable planets.On yet the other hand, we could adopt a stoic stance of resignation in the face of seemingly insolvable problems, doing what we can on a very local level to prepare for the worst. R. Buckminster Fuller, affectionately referred to as “Bucky,” called his approach “comprehensive anticipatory design science.” The idea is to anticipate emerging problems, causes and conditions — including human survival — on a more comprehensive basis, as predicted by “world-around” trends in resources, technology and behavior. And then, turning the trick, come up with solutions that we will be ready and able to deliver, when everyone else finally recognizes the problem. If it is not already too late, that is.Fuller also had an interesting take on politicians and their role in this recurring dilemma. Paraphrasing, he said that we turn to the politicians for answers. But if they had any answers they wouldn't be politicians. They would be out doing something positive, rather than doing their utmost to maintain status quo for themselves, their sponsors, and their constituents.The latest example is the late Orrin Hatch, who just passed into his next cycle of “rebirth into the cycle of creation of suffering for ourselves or for others,” the last line of the Loving Kindness Sutra. His belief system as a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints would not allow that notion. A United States Senator from Utah from 1977 — the year we incorporated Atlanta Soto Zen Center — to 2019, Hatch's 42-year tenure made him the longest-serving Republican U.S. Senator in history. Whether that record of feeding at the trough is worthy of emulation I leave to your discretion.But I urge you to recognize that none of this would surprise Buddha. His teaching was described as his tongue, wide and long. There is nothing so outrageous as to be outside its all-inclusive embrace.* * *Elliston Roshi is guiding teacher of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center and abbot of the Silent Thunder Order. He is also a gallery-represented fine artist expressing his Zen through visual poetry, or “music to the eyes.”UnMind is a production of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center in Atlanta, Georgia and the Silent Thunder Order.

One of the three pillars of the Human Experience is to lead, and today's guest is an outstanding example of what true leadership embodies. Oakland McCullooch spent 23 years in the Army and held numerous leadership positions in the Infantry and Armor branches. He assisted in disaster relief operations for Hurricane Hugo in Charleston, SC and Hurricane Andrew in South Florida. He has also held instructor positions at the US Army Ordnance School, the US Army Command and General Staff College, the Australian Command and Staff College, University of South Alabama and Stetson University. During his most recent position in the Army, he spent 3 years as the Professor of Military Science at the University of South Alabama where he led the training and commissioning of Lieutenants and tripled the size of the program.Oakland retired from the Army in September 2009 and joined the staff at the Bay Area Food Bank as the Associate Director. He left the food bank in December 2010 to become the Senior Military Science Instructor and recruiter for the Army ROTC program at Stetson University in DeLand, Florida. In October 2013, he became the Recruiting Operations Officer for the Eagle Battalion Army ROTC program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University where he has more than doubled the size of the program. In 2019, Cadet Command selected LTC McCulloch as the top recruiting officer, out of 274 others. He received thirty-one military service awards including the Bronze Star, eight Meritorious Service Medals, and the Humanitarian Service Medal.In today's episode of Lead, Sell, Grow: The Human Experience, Oakland shares his experience in the army and the many lessons he learned about true leadership along the way. While many might think that being a leader just means telling others what to do, Oakland emphasizes that leadership is about people and that being a servant leader is what it is all about. People need to know that you have their best interest in mind in order for you to be able to lead them, otherwise you will end up with people that might get work done for you, but passion and motivation are the key pieces that are lacking. Tune in to hear all about Oakland's insight on how you can be a truly effective leader that people want to follow.Key highlights:● Oakland's background in the army leading up to his retirement in 2009● Oakland's reasons for being passionate about leadership● Lessons Oakland learned from being an army officer● Leadership is leadership- it doesn't matter where you practice it● People need to know that you have their best interest in mind to be able to lead them● Leadership is all about people and all about trust, if you lose trust or respect, people won't work very hard for you● The power of showing people you care about them● It is a privilege to being able to lead people- it's not about the title and more pay● Servant leadership is key● Leaders make a difference in people's lives● What can people do to improve their leadership skills?● What do good leaders do?● You need to be good at motivating people by finding a sense of purpose in their lives, a paycheck isn't enough motivation● How to get motivated in your leadership position● Why all leaders need a “Napoleon's corporal”● Why he wrote a book and what opportunities it led to● Our country is in need of good leadershipEpisode resources: ● Get Oakland's book: Your Leadership LegacyQuote from the episode:“It's mission first, people always.”Connect with Oakland: Website: www.ltcoakmcculloch.comLinkedInInstagram @ltcoakmccullochTwitter @LtcOaklandFacebookConnect with Eric: Be sure to connect with us in our Lead Sell Grow – The Human Experience Tribe Facebook group: Pick up your copy of B2B Sales SecretsLearn more about our services: www.TheGoalGuide.comImprove your sales and stay connected – Free Gifts Here https://shor.by/TheGoalGuide

In this episode, we are joined by Prepper Pig, who shares practical lessons from his broad experience as a community organizer and environmental justice activist. He tells his personal story, beginning with his first experience of spontaneous mutual aid in the wake of Hurricane Hugo that left his community without water or electricity. This event was formative for Prepper Pig, compelling him to begin compiling his base of practical knowledge. As a housing counselor during the Great Recession, Prepper Pig fought the predatory banks that were destroying lives across America, advocating for folks who were at risk of foreclosure. After throwing himself into organizing during the Occupy Movement, Prepper Pig joined the nonprofit organizing sphere. By building personal relationships within communities, he was able to affect change in the lives of families threatened with the loss of their homes and others whose homes had been grossly neglected by slumlords. In the words of Prepper Pig, “Organizing is creating space for those directly impacted by oppression to be heard.”  He offers practical lessons from his experiences as an organizer, emphasizing that the role of any activists is to keep the steady drumbeat of the movement going. He also reminds us to manage our energy and set reasonable goals when engaging in activism, providing listeners with valuable advice for avoiding burnout. Prepping is not simply about surviving doomsday scenarios. As Prepper Pig reminds us, it is about being ready to deal with things that go wrong in our lives. His approach encompasses financial prep, power prep, food prep, water prep, self-defense, and so much more. He teaches self-defense to leftists of all types, including people of color, women, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ folks. Prepper Pig offers emergency preparedness and self-defense skills training to BIPOC and other vulnerable communities, merging survival skills with practical community organizing advice.

Destruction, devastation,  and disaster all describe the South Carolina Coast on the 23rd of September 1989.  Hurricane Hugo had torn its way through the State of South Carolina, plowing into Sullivan's Island S.C. and drowning McClellenville S.C. , a small shrimping town, under a massive surge of water.  In Georgetown S.C. , Atalaya , a Spanish style castle villa once owned by Anna Hyatt Huntington, was nearly pulled from its foundations by the power of the Oceans undertow. In Pawley's Island, a new inlet had been cut by Hugo's powerful surge. In Garden City S.C., a town built in what looks more life a sand bar than real land, most of the houses were either gone, destroyed or damaged. In this episode we hear the ending of the horrifying night and look over the sea of devastation the storm left behind.  Then we hear the incredible story of South Carolina as its incredible people, under the leadership of its Republican  Governor Carroll Campbell and its Democratic Mayor of Charleston Joe Riley, pick up the pieces and rebuild our State from its worst catastrophic disaster. It is a truly dramatic and extraordinary story of extraordinary resilience from an uncommon people who came together to lift each other out of a disaster. It was  South Carolina's finest hour.  Hurricane Hugo also left the state totally without power. In the final segment of this show, we watch what is arguably the greatest accomplishment of a power utility company in the history of electric power. Santee Cooper, the South Carolina owned public utility, would have to bring back power after its entire power grid was totally destroyed by Hurricane Hugo. It was the State's first and only black start. A black start means the entire system was 100% down, it had no power generation any where in the system. But the heroic people of Santee Cooper did not let that stop them. Their trucks were out before the storm had even left, assessing the damage and figuring out how to get power back to its thousands of customers.  They would do it, with the help of power companies and utilities from around the nation, in just two weeks. An achievement unmatched anywhere in the world even to this day.  We close with the story of Santee Cooper's work  "Bringing Back the Light" to a state that had been left in total darkness.  (We would like to thank Santee Cooper Electric for the use of footage from their documentary "Bringing Back the Light" and all of the journalism outlets in our state for their coverage, WPDE, WIS, WCIS, The State Newspaper, The Sun News, and The Weather Channel, plus a North Carolina Radio station . )

 We start season 5 with a bonus two part series far from the topic of politics, Government or Richard Nixon. Though President Nixon did start NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration which began the National Weather Service and Hurricane Tracking. A service that has saved thousands of lives and improved weather tracking  and predicting immensely since the 1970's. So in a way this show and the storm it covers, and the lives saved at the time in 1989, were a direct result of the leadership and Presidency of Richard Nixon.  So now lets relive....HURRICANE HUGO, It was a night like no other in my lifetime. I was 18 years old, a freshman in college, and sitting in my dorm at Spartanburg Methodist College with a guy down the hall from me from James Island S.C.  His home would be destroyed. I got lucky, my townhouse was totally unharmed in Myrtle Beach, my family in Hartsville S.C. was unharmed. But the ride home the next week was just surreal.  From the moment you got to Columbia S.C. all the way to the beach, destruction was everywhere you looked.  No one who lived through Hurricane Hugo in South Carolina has ever forgotten it. Today thousands of people have moved into the path Hugo followed. None of them have ever experienced anything close to the wrath of a Hurricane as powerful nor as enormous as Hugo.  This show is for all of you. Heed its warning because one day we will see it again. Here relive the tension as Hurricane Hugo approaches and then hear it roar as this  incredible night unfolds again. Hugo rushed in after midnight and packed a mighty punch in the dark of night. A night no one has ever forgotten, a night like no other in our lifetime. From the National Weather Service Website: " Around midnight on September 22, 1989,  Hurricane Hugo made landfall just north of Charleston, South Carolina at Sullivan's Island as a Category 4 storm with estimated maximum winds of 135-140 mph and a minimum central pressure of 934 millibars (27.58 inches of Hg). Hugo produced tremendous wind and storm surge damage along the coast and even produced hurricane force wind gusts several hundred miles inland into western North Carolina. In fact, Hugo produced the highest storm tide heights ever recorded along the U.S. East Coast, around 20 feet in Bulls Bay, SC near Cape Romain! At the time, Hugo was the strongest storm to strike the U.S. in the previous 20-year period and was the nation's costliest hurricane on record in terms of monetary losses (~$7 billion in damage). It is estimated that there were 49 deaths directly related to the storm, 26 of which occurred in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands."(We would like to thank Santee Cooper Electric for the use of footage from their documentary "Bringing Back the Light" and all of the journalism outlets in our state for their coverage, WPDE, WIS, WCIS, The State Newspaper, The Sun News, and The Weather Channel, plus a North Carolina Radio station . )

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022!!!In this episode we look back at 2021, a year of success here at "Bridging the Political Gap" and a year of sad farewells as we said good by to so many inspirational figures in our life from former Senator Bob Dole, to former Secretary of State George Shultz ,  to Former Senator John Warner, to the Mayor I served with through most of my time as a Myrtle Beach City Councilman, John Rhodes, and an Horry County pioneer who served as the first woman from Horry County to sit in the South Carolina Legislature and for whom I worked in her Horry County South Carolina Auditor's office in the late 1990's. Lois Eargle had been a constant presence in my life and an inspiration. We suffered three very personal losses this year as well. My colleague  in Real Estate, Charles Hinson, whom I worked along side with for two decades and sadly had no footage I could share for a broadcast. My Mother Gloria Bulmer also passed away in March. There is literally nothing I ever achieved that was not a direct result of her influence in my life. She was business woman, a teacher, and my biggest fan and most ferocious defender. It is hard even today to imagine her not being here for advice and support. It was also the year that I sadly lost my loyal companion, my Dog Cooper, whose presence in our show continues to this day every time our closing theme ends. We also look forward in this episode to all the exciting shows planned for 2022 on the life and career of Richard Nixon with what is turning out to be the largest available resource of the secret Nixon tapes available outside Nixontapes.org or the National Archives itself. This coming year you will get to ease drop on history and listen as a great President does great things as he leads the nation and the world into an era of peace. Plus, in the next few weeks for those of you from South Carolina we have couple of special editions on the infamous Hurricane of 1989, known to the world as Hurricane Hugo. Most importantly, this is a special episode that gives us here at "Bridging the Political Gap" a chance to say thanks to all of you who have tuned in during our first year on the air. We appreciate you more than we can ever say, 33 countries, 360 cities, all 50 states,  every continent, and over 2000 downloads. It has been more than I ever could have imagined and it speaks volumes about our world's yearning for real leadership to emerge. Thanks again for tuning in. Sincerely,Your Host, Randal Wallace

In today's Episode, Janice Brown tells her own story. I knew from an early age I wanted to be a doctor. My path to medical school was the road less traveled have taken 6 years off between undergraduate and medical school. Growing up on the island of St. Croix, I had access to fresh air, outside activities, organic food, and unlimited imagination. One day when I was a teenager, my mom became bedridden from back pain. I instinctively thought to massage her back. The results were immediate, she was able to get out of bed. My experiences as a child followed me to adulthood. After I earned an undergraduate degree in Spanish at Columbia University, I pursued Massage Therapy at the former Swedish Institute in New York City. My fluency in Spanish led to my first job out of college as a Research Assistant at Columbia University Medical Center. All the while, I practiced massage therapy, learning various tools that would later serve me. In 2004, I started medical school at New Jersey Medical School in Newark, NJ. I remained true to myself and applied for residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R). It was the one specialty that allowed me to see patients get better and back on their feet. Since then, my goal has been to guide my patients to better health and a better quality of life.

Tony Barratt in the UK reports on the VOA Bethany Closedown transmission. There are updates on KHBI, the Christian Science Monitor Station which took over KYOI in the Mariana Islands. There are changes going on at Radio Berlin International. In PUBSPOT we look at new Fine-Tuning Group's Proceedings 1989 which contains 27 articles from real specialists. John Bryant is one of the editors and explains why they went into so much detail. This edition is both for beginners and advanced alike. Bryant wrote a very practical article on the Beverage antenna. John Fisher has an excellent article on broadcasting in Brazil and Hans Johnson on broadcasting in the Middle East. A lot of information may be “dated” in 2020, but for someone who travels and wants to kill some time reading about SWL, they are a great resource. It's like sitting down with a veteran DXer and picking his/her brain. The authors were “giants” of the hobby back in the day. All the books were available on a single CD-ROM for US$10 from Harold Sellers of the Ontario DX Association.. () There are earlier interviews with John Bryant of Fine tuning in these editions of Media Network: plus two other programmes with John Bryant which we did:  covered the Zenith Transoceanic  which went into some depth about the Drake R-8. In another publication “Latin America by Radio” Swedish DXer Henrik Klemitz has made a study of Latin American broadcasting. We report on the Ulysees mission from the European Space Agency. Roy Neal reports that in the wake Hurricane Hugo, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands have asked amateur radio operators for help.
