Send us a textJane Duncan, a 67-year-old dancer and educator, shares insights on her life and careers. She always knew she was a dancer, starting when she was 11. For her, dance was a healing and power source. While she cherished it, always seeing herself as a dancer, she changed careers, got degrees and flourished. She shares her mentors and how they changed her life.  She now volunteers with an organization that accredits fire organizations. All her life lessons she lays out. Jane Duncan: Dancer, Educator, Contributor As is the case for most dancers, we have a knowing from an early age that we are dancers. The blessing with that knowing, is that we always know who we are no matter who old, fat, or infirm we may become. I stopped trying to make my living as a dancer in my mid to late twenties but since then, I have danced on the edges of my life. In addition to dance as a primary definer, so is education. I have been an educator of adults since I was barely an adult myself beginning as a dance educator at Mount Royal College. At that time one of my students said to me, “Jane, what you are is an educator.” I was mortally offended! I thought, “I am a dancer!!” The student was right, though. I am also an educator. This understanding culminated in earning a doctorate in adult education and higher education leadership and lead me from teaching in post-secondary to administering education in emergency services to fulfill the need for a new challenge.  This experience resulted in an invitation to be appointed as a volunteer for an emergency services accreditation body. I have been contributing to that cause beginning in 2008. I have been given many gifts and giving back is what I am called to do.   About Mark Laurie - Host.Mark has been transforming how women see themselves, enlarging their sense of sexy, and expanding their confidence in an exciting adventure that is transformational photography. http://innerspiritphotography.comhttps://www.instagram.com/innerspiritphotography/Sound Production by:Lee Ellis  - myofficemedia@gmail.com

Henriette shares how being an introvert made immigrating from Holland at 35 with young children a bigger challenge than for most. She had language issues and job difficulties. Her family stepped away from religion, to the disapproval of her Holland family. She talks about how naive they were about Canada. The evolution of beliefs, personal growth and resilience. Her passion for cars. Her unique volunteer work helping new mothers care for twins and triplets. It is a unique and diverse conversation with many insights on an immigrant's view of Canada and belonging.Henriette BioI moved to Calgary from The Netherlands with my husband and 2 sons in 2002. I struggled to find a job, being strangely over-qualified yet under-educated as immigrants often are, doing all kinds of different things and even dabbling with entrepreneurship, which did not suit me at all. In 2017, I retired and started taking courses in Sociology and, later, Women's Gender studies at Athabasca University to learn about Canadian society and culture.  If I am not taking a course, I work as a volunteer with AHS to help out families with newborn twins or triplets in their homes.  I read lots of books, but also a Dutch newspaper, CBC.ca and Al Jazeera. My “motto” is: ”Explore everything, discard what is bad and integrate into your life what is good.” I am an avid traveller and Reiki Master. I love modern art. I make all important decisions using my intuition. I recently started painting after encouragement from my lovely and artistic daughters-in-law. Some words to describe me? Woman, thinker, feminist, student of and for life, introvert, reader, open-minded and fashionable.About Mark Laurie - Host.Mark has been transforming how women see themselves, enlarging their sense of sexy, and expanding their confidence in an exciting adventure that is transformational photography. http://innerspiritphotography.comhttps://www.instagram.com/innerspiritphotography/Sound Production by:Lee Ellis  - myofficemedia@gmail.com

A few years ago, Lee Ellis noticed that he and the other POWs who made it home from Vietnam were outperforming the general population in the area of romantic longevity. He looked into the reasons why that might be true, and then he published his findings in a book called Captured By Love: Inspiring True Romance Stories from Vietnam POWs. Happy Valentine's Day.

Have you ever been faced with a tough decision, struggling with doubts and fears while trying to stay true to your principles? If so, you're not alone. Being a courageous leader and staying honest with yourself is a profound exploration of our true selves. Can bravery guide us in leadership and personal honesty? Embrace wisdom, reflect on your journey, and let bravery shape your choices and identity. Lee Ellis shares his life experiences, lessons, and advice to future leaders. The combination of bravery and honesty helps us navigate challenges, make ethical decisions, and show consideration for others. Tune in as young leaders ask questions about life, personal growth, entrepreneurship, and more! Quotes: "Survival is woven into our DNA; it's not a choice but a necessity. I learned that lesson on my 53rd mission over North Vietnam, where every decision became a matter of life and death." – Lee Ellis "Leadership in captivity is about more than rank or title; it's about character and connection. You learn to lead from the heart when lives depend on it." – Lee Ellis "Leadership principles remain constant; it's the accountability and responsibility that are fading in today's culture, disadvantaging our youth." – Lee Ellis "In the face of doubts and fears, we often deviate from our course. Courage is not the absence of doubts but the strength to correct back to the main course of integrity." – Lee Ellis Takeaways: Whether recovering from trauma or making critical decisions under pressure, timing is crucial. Take the time needed to heal, reflect, and make decisions thoughtfully, especially in high-stakes situations. Leadership isn't about wielding power; it's about empowering others. Focus on lifting and supporting your team, especially during challenging times, as true leadership shines when it helps others navigate through the darkness. Take a moment to reflect on your recent responsibilities. Ask yourself if you have truly committed to them and taken ownership. If you've faced challenges, consider whether you've communicated effectively about them or taken steps to address them. Develop your own set of core behaviors or an honor code that aligns with your values. Assess how courage can be placed at the center of your code. Conclusion: Every decision we make is a point where doubts and fears meet our commitments. Placing courage at the center of our actions reminds us that it is the anchor that keeps us true to our values. Ask yourself questions about your dedication to truth, ethical behavior, and treating others well. Think about how you make decisions, and when faced with challenges, use your courage to stick to your principles.

Today, the Two Mikes spoke with Colonel Lee Ellis (ret'd), who was a combat pilot in Vietnam, was shot down, and spent 5.5 years in captivity in North Vietnam, several of them in the Hanoi Hilton. Col Ellis has written a book called "Captured by Love" which is a compilation of memoir-likes essays -- including his own - about the experiences of himself and his fellow prisoners and how their lives turned out after they returned to the United States. The men and situations focus on the return of the last group of POWs to be returned from Vietnam over the course of several months in the spring of 1973, a group that numbered about 400 men -- almost entirely pilots and air-crew -- who had been prisoners from 5 to 8 years, with an average of 5.5 years. Colonel Ellis presents the personal stories of 20 of those men and their families drawn from their own words and recollections. Some of the POWs got home and were divorced by their wives. Most of these men remarried and the others remained married. The average age of the men and their families whose stories are told is now 85 years, and so reflect family-life experiences of c. 60 years. The stories show how successful these 20 men and their wives and families have been during those years, and that the returning men have largely subdued their residual bitterness's from prolonged captivity and torture and that they and their families have shown extraordinary resilience, an exemplary capacity for love, companionship, and an acknowledgement of the interdependence of families. Colonel Ellis has written a really extraordinary book about genuinely extraordinary men, women, and children. He also was an unusual vehicle for driving home the human power for survival and revival found in these stories by including concise "lessons learned" sections at the conclusion of each story. Colonel Ellis's book is both a terrific, heartwarming read, an education into the positive possibilities of human nature, and a treasure to own for both re-reading and for future generations. Colonel Ellis's book is available at Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/Captured-Love-Inspiring-Romance-Stories/dp/1733632239/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1LB0CHWYF6NGA&keywords=colonel+lee+ellis&qid=1704385738&s=books&sprefix=colonel+lee+ellis%2Cstripbooks%2C92&sr=1-1 SponsorsTriangle Fragrance: https://trianglefragrance.com/?sca_ref=4171318.dUndUHDKz3Cambridge Credit: https://www.cambridge-credit.org/twomikes/ EMP Shield: https://www.empshield.com/?coupon=twomikesOur Gold Guy: https://www.ourgoldguy.com www.TwoMikes.us

A robust community made an immense impact. In Vietnam, as POWs, we endured suffering, but we suffered together. We also found solace and healing together. Colonel Lee Ellis (@LeeEllis) has lived a life that is a testament to overcoming adversity and being dedicated to service. A Vietnam POW of the Hanoi Hilton, Lee shares his powerful insights and worldview in this interview.    "If you have great love and you have responsibility growing up, you're going to be a healthier person." - Lee Ellis   Key Takeaways: 5x5 Code of POW's: The 5x5 matrix tapping code, initially employed by prisoners of war (POWs) during World War II to covertly communicate through walls, involved a grid with five rows and five columns, excluding the letter K. This ingenious code allowed POWs to tap out messages by indicating specific rows and columns, enabling secret communication within confinement. The code's success in fostering covert communication led to its continued use in subsequent conflicts, including the Vietnam War, where POWs in places like the infamous Hanoi Hilton utilized this method to share crucial information and support one another in the face of adversity. This code is a testament to POWs' resilience and resourcefulness across different periods of history.   Secure and Insecure: We're all sliding back and forth between feeling secure and insecure. We all must move toward being more secure and believing in ourselves; in this belief, we want to be confident and humble. When we are confident and humble, then we can be realistic. This allows us to take ownership of mistakes and clean up misunderstandings, which is essential in leadership.    Independent and Interdependent. Maintaining personal autonomy is vital in relationships—an aspect highlighted by the necessity to be independent. Simultaneously, recognizing the significance of interdependence is equally essential, especially within meaningful relationships. Striking a balance between these qualities becomes a cornerstone for personal growth and successful, mutually supportive connections.   Kokoro: SEALFIT's 50-hour crucible, inspired by Navy SEAL Hell Week, draws from Samurai tradition, emphasizing the integration of head, heart, and hands in action and service. Over a decade, participants have experienced transformative outcomes, breaking free from limited thinking, enhancing decision-making, and fostering calm and clarity. The training instills a commitment to service, with individuals channeling their newfound insights for the benefit of others.

Captured by Love shares the real love stories of 20 Vietnam War POWs. Some had wives who started a movement that changed American foreign policy. Others came home and had to start over, while five single men met the loves of their lives. Despite their unique differences, all these couples have been happily married 40 to 65 years. You'll be swept up into some extraordinary tales such as: • Carole boldly gave her husband's POW-MIA bracelet to John Wayne―he wore it for years! • Pan Am stewardess Suzy wore a bracelet for POW Bill Bailey, whom she did not know. But she prayed for him daily, and miraculously met and married him when he came home. • After eight years in prison, one POW said to his wife in his first phone call upon his release, “Hi Jane. It's Tarzan.” You will laugh and cry when you learn why. Former POW Lee Ellis and love expert Greg Godek take you on a dramatic journey of faithfulness, passion, excitement, resilience, and practical love lessons from these couples.

The same seclusion and isolation hunters seek to get away from it all, can be the same seclusion and isolation folks seek to hide illicit and suspect behavior – and things. Not to mention, the woods can just be plain creepy at night. The more time you spend in the woods hunting, the more likely and weirder the things you encounter.
