My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is DJ Quinn, author of the book Stick Figures. Dennis ‘DJ' Quinn is a three-time Big Brother / Big Sisters volunteer and assists with mentor programs in the Pierce County WA Juvenile Court system. His honest and humorous writing style came to life during his editing and writing jobs for airline labor unions, lifestyle magazines, and real estate advertising. The second oldest of nine children raised in Helena, MT, he currently resides in Gig Harbor, WA. He is also the author of Raft Island Treasure Hunters, an adventure tale for young readers. In her book review Carole O'Neill stated: Stick Figures: A Big Brother Remembers is a memoir by D. J. Quinn. As he navigates between time with his Little Brother and his memories of those years, we unravel a happy, sad, guilty, loving, and grateful man who wishes he could have done more for his Little Brother. Quinn meets Betty who is the foster mother of his potential Little Brother in the caseworker's office. The meeting was set up to allow them to get to know each other and discuss the expectations of both. Mike is not the average candidate the organization tries to match. He didn't start talking until he was four and is in special education. He is an energetic seven-year-old who loves to swim but doesn't like to go to the mall. Within the first few outings, D.J. quickly discovers he and Mike like to talk about Santa, God, showgirls, and speech therapy. Above all, he is a gamer. Their time together always ended with a look at the calendar to make plans to meet the next time as they drew stick figures to document the time they just spent together. Mike looked forward to those drawings almost as much as the activities they enjoyed. During that time, they often were joined by D.J.'s partner and his Little Brother, Nate. The four of them found swimming off their boat to be one of their favorite pastimes. During their thirteen-year journey, we follow their intimate true story told with humor and compassion. The twists and turns of their relationship from Mike's time on the run, to his time in prison, and finally to his final days, we laugh, we cry and we applaud D.J. for taking the interest in a young boy who needed help to grow into a man.

A New Year's Eve celebration with those living with dementia and Alzheimer's feels sacred, filled with soft moments, memories, and unexpected joy. Paper hats sit crooked, cider overflows, noisemakers honking away, and questions may be repeated, but heart and presence matter most. On this very day at the Veranda, stories unfold—some vivid, some fragments—showing that memory lives in body and spirit. Laughter erupts over funny tales, while tender moments honor loved ones lost. The countdown may vary, but the true celebration is about togetherness. Hugs, music, and shared memories remind us that feelings matter more than details, and even in forgetfulness, we remain whole and worthy here. This is what Veranda Ministries and Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly's mission are all about. Happy New Year! We don't have to remember everything to feel something. We don't need every detail to know love. And even in forgetting, we are still ourselves—still belonging, still worthy, still here. www.verandaministries.org

I am most certain that you have a brave visionary within you. It might be fully alive at this moment or the hardships of life may have dimmed this fire.But it's there. Waiting for you to exercise it into greater power, polish it into higher strength and honor the majesty that it certainly holds for you.Your visionary nature does come with a danger, though. And the danger is that you will be misunderstood. …your family won't understand why you dream so big and believe in your ideals so much. …your friends won't understand why you get up so early, read so deeply and grow so enthusiastically.…your neighbors won't understand why you seek mastery over mediocrity and possibility instead of average. So, they'll question you. Or discourage you. Or even laugh at you. [Laughter is the price ambition pays to make itself real.]My humble and loving suggestion as your mentor from afar? Easy.Continue. At all costs. KMF. Keep moving forward. Take the stones that people may throw at you and make them into monuments of greatness that stand the test of time.Use ridicule as fuel to show the world all you're made of. And what you can accomplish. And the honest nature of your spirit.My team has just opened access to my completely new and very helpful online program The Amazing Day Blueprint.

We live in a world starving for attention—but what we're really craving is connection. In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Stephen sits down with Adam Christing to explore how humor, vulnerability, and presence shape the way we lead, relate, and live. This episode moves far beyond "being funny" and into something far more meaningful: how laughter becomes a bridge to trust, healing, and authenticity. From leadership and personal growth to faith, neuroscience, and lived experience, this conversation reveals why humor isn't a distraction, it's a discipline, a tool, and a language of connection. What did they talk about? We feel before we think - connection is transferred, not explained Leaders must give themselves the same grace they give others Authentic presence matters more than polished performance Humor builds trust faster than perfection ever could This episode isn't just for you. Think about the people in your life, your team, your family, your friends,who could benefit from this conversation. Chances are, three people came to mind immediately.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: When New Year's Laughter Warms a Wintry Budapest Night Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-12-31-08-38-20-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Budapest télies hangulatban pompázott.En: Budapest was dazzling in its wintry atmosphere.Hu: A hópelyhek lassan szitáltak a városra, mintegy mesebeli tájjá varázsolva azt.En: The snowflakes slowly sifted over the city, transforming it into a fairy-tale landscape.Hu: A történelmi gyógyfürdők körül vidám zsongás hallatszott, ahogy mindenki a meleg medencék felé tartott.En: Around the historic thermal baths, a cheerful buzz could be heard as everyone headed towards the warm pools.Hu: Ezen a különleges napon, Szilveszter estéjén, Bálint, Eszter és Zsófia a gőzölgő fürdők felé indultak.En: On this special day, New Year's Eve, Bálint, Eszter, and Zsófia set off towards the steaming baths.Hu: Bálint szerette volna, ha minden tökéletes lenne.En: Bálint wanted everything to be perfect.Hu: Már napok óta tervezgette, hogyan tölthetnék ezt az estét.En: He had been planning for days how they could spend this evening.Hu: "Nyugodt, pihentető este lesz" - mondogatta magában.En: "It will be a calm, relaxing night," he kept telling himself.Hu: Eszter, Bálint energikus unokatestvére, azonban más terveket szövögetett.En: Eszter, Bálint's energetic cousin, had different plans in mind.Hu: Ő mindig szerette a spontaneitást, és sosem féltett hirtelen változtatni a terveket.En: She always loved spontaneity and was never afraid to change plans suddenly.Hu: Zsófia, a társaság csendes tagja, csak mosolyogva követte őket.En: Zsófia, the quiet member of the group, followed them with a smile.Hu: Számára mindegy volt, hogy mi történik, amíg jó barátai körében lehetett.En: It didn't matter to her what happened as long as she was in the company of good friends.Hu: Ahogy beléptek a fürdőbe, Eszter izgatottan javasolta: "Menjünk először a legforróbb szaunába!En: As they entered the bath, Eszter excitedly suggested, "Let's go to the hottest sauna first!"Hu: " Bálint egy pillanatra tétovázott, de Eszter már húzta is magával.En: Bálint hesitated for a moment, but Eszter was already dragging him along.Hu: "Mi baj történhetne?En: "What could go wrong?"Hu: " - gondolta.En: he thought.Hu: A szaunában forróság fogadta őket.En: In the sauna, they were greeted by intense heat.Hu: Az izzadtság patakokban folyt le róluk, de a hangulat emelkedett volt.En: Sweat was streaming down their bodies, but the atmosphere was exhilarating.Hu: Eszter váratlanul kitalálta, hogy próbáljanak ki egy különleges jeges szauna-rituálét.En: Suddenly, Eszter came up with the idea of trying a special ice sauna ritual.Hu: Bálint kissé aggódva követte unokatestvérét és Zsófiát.En: Bálint, slightly worried, followed his cousin and Zsófia.Hu: "Majd meglátjuk" - próbálta magát nyugtatni.En: "We'll see," he tried to calm himself.Hu: A jeges fürdő után hirtelen jött a baj.En: After the ice bath, trouble struck suddenly.Hu: Eszter véletlenül felrúgta a jeges vödört, amiből a víz mindhármukra borult.En: Eszter accidentally kicked over the bucket of ice water, which spilled onto all three of them.Hu: Az egyik fürdőző hangosan felnevetett, és hamarosan az egész szauna kacagásban tört ki.En: One of the bathers laughed out loud, and soon the entire sauna erupted in laughter.Hu: Még Bálint is, aki az elején nem találta viccesnek, mosolyogva felnevetett.En: Even Bálint, who hadn't found it funny at first, joined in with a smile and a laugh.Hu: Ez az apró, komikus baleset feloldotta az összes feszültséget.En: This small, comical mishap dissolved all the tension.Hu: Bálint rájött, hogy a tökéletes szilveszteri élmény nem a precíz tervezéstől függ.En: Bálint realized that the perfect New Year's Eve experience didn't depend on precise planning.Hu: Az igazi öröm abban rejlik, hogy azokkal van körülvéve, akiket szeret, és képes nevetni a váratlan pillanatokon.En: The real joy lay in being surrounded by those he loved and being able to laugh at unexpected moments.Hu: A nap végén, miközben a hó ismét szállingózott kint, a barátok vidáman és elégedetten hagyták el a fürdőt.En: At the end of the day, as the snow began to fall once again outside, the friends left the bath cheerfully and content.Hu: Bálint mosolyogva nézett Eszterre és Zsófiára: "Ez a nap sokkal különlegesebb lett, mint azt valaha is tervezhettem volna.En: Bálint looked at Eszter and Zsófia with a smile: "This day turned out to be much more special than I could have ever planned."Hu: "A fürdők fényei elhalványultak mögöttük, de szívükben tudták, hogy ez a nap a nevetésről, a szeretetről és az élet kiszámíthatatlan szépségeiről szólt.En: The lights of the baths faded behind them, but in their hearts, they knew this day was about laughter, love, and the unpredictable beauty of life.

In Adam Sandler's Billy Madison, an immature heir's journey back through grade school becomes a wild, comedic exploration of learning, privilege, and the power of second chances. As Billy stumbles from kindergarten to high school, the film asks: what does it really mean to grow up, and how do our experiences in school shape who we become? And for educators, how can humor, humility, and a willingness to start over help us connect with students—and ourselves—on a deeper level? Through Billy's misadventures, the eccentric cast of teachers and classmates, and the absurd challenges he faces, we see the importance of perseverance, the value of community, and the unexpected lessons that come from embracing failure. The movie reminds us that transformation—whether in a classroom, a school, or a person—often begins with a willingness to be vulnerable, to laugh at ourselves, and to try again. On this first-ever live audience recording of the Better Learning Podcast, host Kevin Stoller is joined by Brian Schoch and Katelyn Forcucci, along with responses and insights from multiple audience members. Together, they explore what Billy Madison reveals about education, leadership, and the messy, joyful process of learning at any age. Takeaways: Growth in education isn't always linear—sometimes it takes a few detours, mistakes, and a sense of humor to get where we need to go. Privilege and opportunity can shape our educational journeys, but real learning requires humility, effort, and support from others. Teachers and classmates play a crucial role in helping us overcome setbacks and discover our strengths. Embracing failure and starting over can lead to deeper understanding, resilience, and empathy. Laughter and playfulness can break down barriers, build community, and make learning more meaningful for everyone. The live audience's questions and reflections add fresh perspectives, reminding us that learning is a shared, ongoing adventure. Join us for this lively episode as we blend comedy, education, and real-time audience energy to uncover the lessons hidden in Billy Madison's outrageous return to school.

Laughter after longing is more than a mood; it's a marker of grace. We open Psalm 126 and watch a people who sowed in tears come home with shouts of joy, then ask what it looks like to live that pattern now: thank what God has done, savor His gifts without suspicion, and share the story so others can see the Giver clearly. From there we get practical—remembrance as obedience, not nostalgia—drawing on Joshua's stones to shape simple habits that keep our hearts soft and our witness strong.I walk through the year's living “stones”: hearts ignited by Scripture, a wave of baptisms spanning quiet lifelong faith to fresh conversions, and a growing culture of post‑service prayer that carries both burdens and celebrations. Among us, ordinary devotion has multiplied—kids learning to pray, students leading younger peers in the Word, and a foster and adoption ministry that mobilized meals, cars, and hands‑on care without fanfare. It's the Acts 2 way: teaching, fellowship, shared meals, and prayer producing surprising fruit over time.Beyond our walls, generosity helped encourage pastors abroad, deliver eye care alongside the gospel to tens of thousands, and fuel church planting across the U.S. and around the world. Not to boast in output, but to celebrate that God weaves ordinary faithfulness into extraordinary reach. The final turn lands close to home: after naming how God met our desires, we ask how we might give Him one of His. Prayer, presence, service, witness—choose one and build with us on this playground under construction until Christ returns.

Welcome to this very special episode of Hash Church, an episode rooted in heart, humanity, and the belief that cannabis culture is at its best when guided by compassion. Today, we lean into the simple yet powerful truth that compassion is a verb — an action we choose, a practice we embody, and a responsibility we carry forward in our community.Few people represent that ethos more fully than our dear friend Wade Laughter. Wade has long been a light in the cannabis world — not because he has sought attention, but because he has offered himself in service. Through decades of advocacy, education, and tireless patient support, Wade has shown us what it truly means to lead with empathy.Many of you know Wade from his thoughtful, grounded contributions to Hash Church. Whether sharing insights on cultivation, genetics, terpene expression, or patient needs, Wade brings humility, intelligence, and a deep spiritual calm that elevates every conversation. He reminds us that cannabis is not simply an industry — it is a lifeline for many, a medicine that deserves respect, and a culture that must remain anchored in care.Wade's devotion extends far beyond our Sunday sessions. As the founder of the Caladrius Network, he has worked to bring healing, dignity, and support to catastrophically ill children and their families — some of the most vulnerable members of our community. His compassion there is not a concept; it is a verb. It is hands-on, heart-led, and deeply human work that has changed lives.So today, as we explore the meaning of compassion within cannabis culture — its history, its present, and its future — we do so in honor of Wade Laughter. His life and actions remind us that the true legacy of this plant is not in products, profits, or trends, but in the people we uplift and the love we bring forward.This episode is dedicated to Wade — our teacher, our brother, and our reminder that compassion is something we *do*.Let's begin.......Huge shoutout to Puffco for powering Hash Church!

After nearly 200,000 cold calls and a million auto-dialer calls, Stephen Oommen discovered something shocking: 98% of his revenue came from warm referrals. Today, he breaks down how sellers can turn relationships into predictable growth. In this episode, host Lyndsay Dowd sits down with Stephen Oommen, a 25-year go-to-market veteran, speaker, and author of the upcoming book The Referral Effect. Stephen shares why nearly 98% of his business revenue came from warm referrals, despite making hundreds of thousands of cold calls throughout his career. Stephen opens up about growing up as the child of immigrants in Oklahoma, navigating an identity crisis that ultimately became his superpower—the Chameleon Effect—his ability to adapt, connect, and create trust across any environment. That skill later became the foundation for his referral-based sales methodology. You'll learn: - Why executives don't respond to cold outreach—and what they do respond to - How to close the trust gap by scaling warm referrals - The "Magic Networking Question" that instantly upgrades your network - The 99 and 1 Principle for managing energy in sales and relationships - How leaders can balance intensity, kindness, and long-term legacy If you're a B2B seller, founder, GTM leader, or executive tired of low-yield outreach, this conversation will challenge how you think about networking, sales culture, and growth. Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction: Stephen Oommen, the Truth Teller. 02:22 – Stephen's Origin Story: From Bankruptcy to Corporate Success. 04:48 – The Chameleon Effect: Turning Identity Crisis into a Superpower. 10:39 – Cold Calls vs. Warm Referrals: The Efficiency vs. Effectiveness Debate. 16:54 – How to Start Networking: Nurturing and Activating Relationships. 19:16 – The Live Exercise: Asking the Right Questions to Build a Network. 22:50 – Using Qualifiers: Geography, Industry, and Title. 26:08 – The 99 and 1 Principle: Managing Energy in Sales. 30:04 – What Inspires Stephen: Growth, Contribution, and Laughter. 32:38 – Legacy: Kindness Character vs. Intense Personality. 35:00 – What's Next: Speaking Tours and The Referral Effect. About the Guest Stephen Oommen is a 25-year go-to-market veteran with experience spanning frontline sales to executive leadership. He has worked with startups and global enterprises including Microsoft, ADP, and Citibank. Stephen is the only speaker and trainer dedicated to helping B2B sellers solve the biggest challenge in modern sales: lack of access to decision makers. His work focuses on closing the trust gap by scaling the most successful method known—warm referrals. A successful entrepreneur and W2 employee ("entreployee"), Stephen has retired from corporate twice, paid off hundreds of thousands in non-mortgage debt, and is currently writing his book The Referral Effect. He believes legacy is built at the intersection of kindness, generosity, and laughter.

Laughter is fundamental to the holidays. After all, "Ho Ho Ho" is one of Santa's favorite expressions. Which is why comedians have always had a place in our annual Colorado Matters Holiday Extravaganza. As we celebrate ten years, we've assembled those acts for a special filled with good cheer and memories.
Laughter isn't just entertainment — it's a powerful tool for healing, truth, and connection. In this episode of Women Road Warriors with Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro, welcome back stand-up comedian, author, podcaster, and social media influencer Monique Marvez, whose fearless humor and sharp storytelling are captivating audiences worldwide.With multiple Showtime specials, appearances on HBO Max, over 190 million TikTok views, and 70+ million views on Dry Bar Comedy, Monique has mastered the art of making people laugh — then think. A 20-year broadcast veteran, she uses comedy as a Trojan horse for truth, tackling everyday absurdities with warmth, wisdom, and razor-sharp wit.Beloved by audiences of all ages — especially Gen Z women — Monique is bold, real, and unapologetically authentic. This conversation explores why humor matters now more than ever, how laughter opens hearts and minds, and why being yourself is the most powerful punchline of all.
I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Adam Christing, a humorist, keynote speaker, and author, to talk about the power of laughter, connection, and storytelling. Adam has spent four decades performing more than 4,000 humor presentations for CEOs, Fortune 500 companies, major nonprofits, and high-stakes audiences around the world. He is a member of Hollywood's iconic Magic Castle, has worked with David Copperfield, authored The Laugh Factor: The 5 Humor Tactics to Link, Lift, and Lead, and is the CEO of Clean Comedians®, a business that uses humor to bring people together rather than driving them apart. Adam is more than just a gifted public speaker and performer. He is a student of human nature. In our conversation, he explains how comedy works psychologically, why humor diffuses conflict, how it disarms resistance, and how it allows leaders to deliver truth without putting people on the defensive. Adam also offers a brilliant blueprint for anyone who speaks publicly. Executives, trial lawyers, entrepreneurs, military leaders, and educators, can all benefit from Adam's crash course in how to grab an audience's attention and keep it. We break down how great presenters prepare, how to deal with nerves, why silence is so powerful, how to tailor your message to the room, and how storytelling can transform information into impact. Along the way, Adam tells stories about joining the Magic Castle as a teenager, bombing on stage, learning from masters like Johnny Carson and Winston Churchill, and discovering that audiences do not want perfection - they want presence. He also explains why the boundaries of "clean comedy" actually make comedy more creative, why leaders should practice humor like a skill, and why audiences always root for the person at the microphone. This episode is about leadership, persuasion, communication, and how to connect through humour. It is also full of laughs. I invite you to listen to the full conversation and learn how humor can help you become a better leader, speaker, and storyteller. And now I give you, Adam Christing.
a caller from California shares an experience that still doesn't sit right years later. It involves a quiet house in the middle of the night, a child doing something she had never done before, and a voice that knew exactly what it was saying—and how to say it. What makes this story disturbing isn't just the late hour or the strange behavior. It's the coordination. The timing. The way separate events seemed to orbit the same moment, as if something was testing boundaries… watching reactions… waiting for a mistake. There are voices that shouldn't be heard. Laughter that doesn't sound human. And a single command that repeats itself with increasing confidence. Was it a coincidence? A nightmare spilling into waking life? Or something actively trying to gain access—physically or otherwise? #RealGhostStories #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalPodcast #Sleepwalking #DemonicEncounter #HauntedPhoneCall #SpiritWarning #CreepyVoices #Supernatural #NightmareFuel #GhostStories #ParanormalExperience Love real ghost stories?
