It's a week about positivity! Let's start this week's Sherpa Sheet with a story. When I went to check out Deanne's podcast, and I read about its origin, 2 words came to mind... instant fascination. And after hearing some of her episodes, I said to myself, "This is someone I'm going to enjoy interviewing. ' And my Sherpa instincts were spot on. Here's a person who can juggle so much in her life and and keep up the positivity she shares in her podcasts. They really will put a smile on your face if you need a pick me up, or just want to maintain a sunny disposition. Her story is one of inspiration from an unexpected source. We talk about news reporting, how parents can be positive for their kids, and the problem with the lack of upbeat stories in the media. Plus, Deanne shares happy news from her own personal life! And was the Sherpa fanboying about an Oprah podcast?? You'll only be sure if you're listening! Plus, some kind words to some wonderful people ...with a presidential nomination!. And naturally, Sherpa Suggestions!! As previously mentioned, Episode 5 was a "podcast primer" of sorts, to the listeners who aren't that experienced with podcasts. This week, I introduce an occasional segment called "Podcast Pointers" for those people. This time around, I answer the question, "How do you share a podcast?" If you've got a question about podcast apps, the show, a certain guest, or anything else concerning life on Mount Podcastia, join the people who have podcasts that want to promote them, who can contact me at jimthepodcastsherpa@gmail.com, and I'll try to help you out. Don't forget to follow the podcast on social media (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) and subscribe to my show and spread the word. #VivaLeSherpalution!

Ana Perez and I met about five years ago when I got to share her story with the world as a host of 5-Hour ENERGY helps Amazing People. Not only did I get to share her story, but I also got to surprise her with a check for $50,000! It was one of my favorite stories because I truly believe Ana is a saint.
