Carol Wallace - Best selling historical author Carol Wallace: Jenny, it is such a pleasure to be speaking to you from New York City. It is almost amazing to think that we can get to each other across our computers. Jenny Wheeler: That's absolutely right. We both know but I'd like to mention that I found you through a New York podcast called The Gilded Gentleman in which you spoke very entertainingly about your deep understanding of New York history. We are going to be talking about your latest book today, which is Our Kind of People, which is a historical fiction related to the Gilded Age and the transition of the generations from the old money and the rather staid old New York to the new money. Tell us a bit about Our Kind of People. Carol Wallace: First of all,

Quote of the Day… Failure is Success if We learn from it…Malcom Forbes   Most of my life I have heard the phrase, “Success is a journey not a destination”.   This has always been difficult for a passionate and driven entrepreneur like myself to understand.   Sure, I have adopted and heard all the statements and thoughts that are continuously kicked around.  Thoughts like:   learn to enjoy the ride find joy in the process not just the end goal focus on the little things because one day they will become the big things in life   But, I have also found that the the end GOAL is what motivates me the most.  The reward, recognition and personal satisfaction of achieving more has been the best driver of actions and results in my life.   So, its been difficult to reconcile how to continue to Dreambuild and Create a Vision of the future, while finding a way to create Passion for the Present Moment and the “Process” in the meantime.   Maybe you struggle with this as well.  After all, I have even promoted the statement...   Don't let Your Vision of the Future Rob you of the Joys of the Present Moment.   But just the other day I heard a Thought on another Podcast that really rang home for me on this topic, and I wanted to share it with you today.   The thought was this….BECOME OBSESSED WITH THE PATH.   It was just a slight variation of the idea that we should enjoy the process but it got me thinking about a way to truly become Obsessed, Passionate, and Focused on the PATH as much as the End Goal.   Rather than just becoming grateful for the process or finding ways to motivate myself to enjoy the road to new levels of success…   I think a real key for you and I is to actually “build a process” that we can become Obsessed with.  This requires us to be intentional with our focus and focused with our intent.     Looking back I believe there have been many times I have unconsciously created a Path that I could become obsessed with in my life and business, and that has almost always lead me to massive levels fo success.     What I am focused on doing now, and I recommend you do as well, is to “Consciously” build a path that you can become passionate about while achieving your end goals.     There are always many ways to create a result.  What I am suggesting is that you personally craft a Path that you CAN BECOME PASSIONATE AND OBSESSED WITH to get to your goal.   So, How do you do this.  Well, my experience has show me that it requires several key ingredients and then structure and discipline along with it. After all, Creating your best life is going to require a Game plan.   Here are a few suggestions that I have for you:   1-Make sure your path is aligned with your Unique Talent.  This is focusing your activities around what you are "Excellent at" and "Passionate about.”   Too many of us are working a job or running a business we simply dont enjoy or we are not excellent at…just to make a check.   2-Make sure your end goal or vision is in alignment with your actual talents.     It doesn't make sense to create success or opportunity in an area that you ultimately don't want to end up doing long term.  If you do, despite the money and opportunity, your subconcious mind and your heart will constantly be working against you.     I had this happen in several businesses that I made an incredible income with but ultimately was not happy running or being a part of.  Not because they weren't legitimately helping other people, but because i was not ultimately passionate about the business itself.   Also, I think it is important to also mention a few critical factors you need to add to your Path in order to truly become Obsessed and Successful along the way.   create extreme structure and discipline in your daily schedule create firm accountability and feedback from mentors create detailed tracking and reporting of key performance indicators create periodic evaluations of your results create a community, mastermind, or inner circle that aligns with your vision create incentives and rewards for yourself along the way to success   When you include these disciplines in your path and daily processes, it helps you to relax and focus more on the present moment because you have a plan and you are tracking all the key areas of your business.   Most of us are constantly trying to stay on top of too much in our life and business.  Put processes, indicators and structure in place you that you can remove the pressure of your entire life and focus more on the tasks at hand or the people you are with in the moment.   It is my wish for you that you can begin to start creating and living the life you were meant to live by helping you to consciously create a PATH that you can become Obsessed and Passionate about.   I hope my thoughts will help you to do that.  They are definitely helping me.   Check out the Daily Mastermind FREE Mobile app on itunes and android.  Download it today.   dailymastermind.com

Introducing romance author Laura Frantz But now, here's Laura. Laura Frantz - best selling inspirational fiction Jenny Wheeler: Hello there Laura, and welcome to the show. It's so good to have you with us. Laura Frantz: I'm so delighted to be here. I'm a fan and I'm always enjoy talking books. Thank you. Jenny Wheeler: You are a bestselling author and an award-winning one with thirteen historical novels to your credit. The most recent one, and the one we'll be focusing on for part of our time today, is A Heart Adrift. It's set in 1755 when the prospect of war with France is looming over colonial Virginia. You have said that you are a real fan of the 18th century. What draws you to that time period? Laura Frantz: Oh my, I could probably spend the whole show talking about that, but in a nutshell, the 18th century was a complete historical rollercoaster ride. There was so much going on in that century. You have, as you already mentioned, the French and Indian war, also two revolutions, both French and American, the flintlock musket and Indian warfare came to the forefront during that very tumultuous era. On a more personal note, the bedbug epidemic was out of control and personal hygiene was at a low. On every level of the 18th century, it's kind of a hot, roiling, historical mess. But there were good things that came out of that too. People began reading for pleasure. Books became more accessible. One of the things I have included in some of my novels is another invention by Ben Franklin – the Franklin stove. People began to warm up in a century that had been quite cold. A love of the eighteenth century You have a lot to draw from when you write in the 18th century, not only the United States but overseas. Your own history in your own country was quite tumultuous too if I understand it. Jenny Wheeler: We hardly existed in the 18th century.

But now here's Katherine. Introducing author Katherine Howe Jenny Wheeler: Hello there Katherine, and welcome to the show. It's great to have you with us. Katherine Howe - historian and novelist Katherine Howe: Thank you so much for having me, Jenny. I'm delighted to join you. Jenny Wheeler: You are a New York Times bestselling author of historical fiction in your own right, but recently you've also co-authored one of the prominent books of the year and that's Anderson Cooper's family story, Vanderbilt: The Rise and Fall of an American Dynasty. Is this your first co-authoring project? Katherine Howe: It is. I did a little bit of co-authoring of a screenplay with another friend, and I've taught writing for many years, so I was accustomed to a collaborative approach to writing, but this is the first time it's actually come to the world in book form. It was a really exciting project to do. Jenny Wheeler: How did it come about that you got enlisted for the project? Katherine Howe: We knew that Anderson was going to be working on a book and it was going to be a history book. Of course, he is a celebrated author in his own right. For your audience in New Zealand who might not know him as well as we do in the US, he is a broadcast journalist on CNN, which is one of our big cable news networks. He also does many other things. He does the New Year's Eve ball drop in Times Square and things like that. He is a prominent person, and he had written a couple of memoirs. He did a memoir of his own, and he did a co-author project with his mother. Collaborating with Anderson Cooper His mother was Gloria Vanderbilt. So, he knew he wanted to do a history book, but I think he was looking for someone who had more experience writing history, because writing history is a little bit different from writing memoir. We were fortunate that our various representative put us in touch with each other. It was very exciting because we found in the course of preparatory conversations that we had ...

If life is a garden, the writer, editor, and craftsperson Deborah Needleman certainly knows how to dig and cultivate it. Early in her career, she followed a nonlinear path in the media industry that was, for the better part of a decade, slow and steady—and then, upon launching the home design bible Domino in 2004, meteoric. Over the next dozen years, Needleman rose to become one of the magazine world's most in-demand editors, serving as the editor-in-chief of both WSJ. Magazine and T: The New York Times Style Magazine. Across this work, her deep appreciation for beauty, craft, gardening and nature, and unfussy, richly layered interiors shined through. By the end of 2016, though, Needleman decided that she had had enough of the whirlwind hustle of the magazine business. She sought a way to work with her hands, not just her head. So she slowed down—way down—and turned to the meditative acts of gardening and craft. She headed to the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina, where she took an introductory broom-making course. Soon, she began producing a limited-edition “Garden Tea” of herbs such as chamomile, lemon balm, and mint. And she kept writing: Throughout 2017 and 2018, Needleman traveled the world, studying local crafts for the T column “Material Culture.” In time, she began to work more consistently with her hands, establishing a humble craft practice, primarily focused around basketry, that she continues to build upon today.On this episode, Needleman talks with Spencer about the pleasures of producing objects from modest materials, what her current craft endeavors have in common with magazine-making, and the deep inherent value of a patina.Special thanks to our Season 5 sponsor, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes: Full transcript[07:52] The December 4, 2016, issue of T: The New York Times Style Magazine[11:23] “For the Love of Italy” [16:21] Deborah Needleman's home in upstate New York[18:44] “Long-Stemmed Neuroses” [20:33] “The Anti-Martha”[22:22] Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End [25:23] Piet Oudolf[37:15] “Lessons in the Humble Art of Broom-Making”[41:59] Deborah Needleman's Side chair[47:19] John C.

Introducing author Elissa Sussman Jenny Wheeler: Hello there, Elissa, and welcome to the show. It's great to have you with us today. Elissa Sussman: Thank you so much. I'm happy to be here. Jenny Wheeler: You wrote three teen novels, but then you got into what they are calling your breakout hit, your first adult novel, Funny You Should Ask. It's a witty romance built around the whole dynamic of celebrity journalism. How did you make that leap from the earlier teen novels to this adult novel that's being so widely acclaimed? Elissa Sussman: Thank you. It's funny because it feels like a very natural progression. In some ways I'm like, why did it take me so long to write a romance and an adult romance at that? I grew up reading romance, loving romance. Since middle school, I was a huge romance reader, getting books from the library constantly. Then during a lull in work, when I was writing YA fiction, I got an opportunity to ghost write adult romance books, and it reminded me of how much fun I had reading it as a teenager and how much I missed it. It was like getting paid to go to romance writing boot camp....

Everyone talks about "leveling up." It's become cliche'.  They're talking about leveling up their friends, famliy, their jobs, and their businesses.  But most people won't level up.  Because if everyone else levels up, you're going to have to level up.  If you're going to level up, you're going to have to go from being the biggest dick in the room to the smallest.  You have to be surrounded by people who are doing better than you financially, mentally, spiritually, in their families, and in their businesses. When you get around those people, it'll be easier for you to level up.  If you don't want to level up, congratualtions on joining the 99% living complacent lives.  But if you really want it.  Truly want it.......it's there for you. You just have to decide how bad you want it.  #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.

Today on ZorkCast, we are discussing the concept of the Vegas-me balance. If you love recreational gambling like we do, and your partner doesn't necessarily feel the same way, chances are you enjoy traveling to Vegas by yourself or possibly meeting up with a community of like-minded people. This is the Vegas-me balance. In this episode, we discuss how COVID testing and increased travel costs have affected people's Vegas-me balances. Tuning in, you'll hear how Vegas trips have, in some cases, become part of a more significant vacation and our thoughts on how this is affecting the US tourism economy and the airlines. We also chat about the trend in people scratching the gambling itch at local casinos and Vegas alternatives. We talk about casino host interaction, how this creates angst for players, and how it adds another level to the psychological battle of gambling. For all this, as well as some tips on where to find some great deals and a fantastic new podcast for anyone who loves craps, tune in today!Want to contact us or share something?Chat to TravelZork, ZorkCast and TravelZork Travel!Email us at:tips@travelzork.com--------------------------------------------Book your next trip with TravelZork Travel!Luxury Hotel Program for Las Vegas and Worldwide--------------------------------------------Links for episode 129Crap Vegas Small Whale - Chris on Twitter VegasDuffy on Twitter Join The TravelZork Facebook Group - lots of great travel and casino loyalty conversations!--------------------------------------------Support the show!

Oh haaaiiii, book clubbers!This month, we read the debut novel from Aussie author Allee Richards called Small Joys of Real Life. The book follows Eva, a pretty successful local actor, who accidentally falls pregnant to a guy called Pat who she had met just a handful of times, but really, really liked. It's just that by the time she realises she is pregnant, Pat has died, and she is forced to reckon with a world where she raises a baby to a father she misses but also never really knew. Flanked by her loyal but equally flawed best friends Sarah and Annie, Eva begins to question her career, her future, and even the people she surrounds herself with.Got some thoughts on our June pick, ‘The Wedding Party' by Jasmine Guillory?

In Alduous Huxley's dystopian novel Brave New World, the government uses a drug called Soma to control the masses, creating a docile and directionless populace. Could Huxley's novel explain the radical reversal the government and media has made on marijuana? Savage entwines history and his own expertise to explain why we should think twice about considering weed as a harmless substance. With decades in botanical medicine, Savage approaches the topic with a sober-minded approach; acknowledging the plant's uses, but exposing the lies touted by its worshippers. Savage breaks down the differences between CBD and THC, the nature of cannabinoids, and the chemistry of cannabis. How does THC affect the mind and body, what are its proper applications, and is it addictive? One of his main takeaway points is this; cannabis distorts who we think we are. And just as with alcohol, drives us to do things we may later regret. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
