A few years ago, Blair's grandmother gave him a present. Approximately 300 photographs his grandfather had taken in Korea nearly 70 years ago. These beautifully preserved color photos not only revealed a country and its people emerging from war and beginning to rebuild, it also showed Blair members of his family. It showed him where he was from, and, therefore, where he was going. He has digitized these photos and made them into an archive. This has since grown to feature a wide range of photos and videos expertly organized to allow visitors to discover Korea as it once was and, perhaps, also help some people understand where they came from.

Brandi Carpenter emailed from Spokane, WA: “Hi Marc, I've been listening to your podcast for many years now and love it so much!! My family has switched to Spotify and I'm wondering why I can't find your Irish and Celtic Music Podcast on it...will it make it on there eventually? I don't have an Apple phone so I'm sad that my current podcast hookup (Google) is closing down. Thank you for all your hard work!” Ben Q emailed: “Hi Marc, Big fan & patron with an Android problem - Google Podcasts has gone away, annoyingly (just a few short years after they killed Google Listen and forced everyone to migrate there). I see that the "Listen on Google Podcasts" button on celticmusicpodcast.com now redirects to podcastaddict.com, so I guess that this sunsetting of that podcast app is probably not news to you. However, I've tentatively replaced Google Podcasts as my podcast app, not with podcastaddict, but with what Google / Android suggested as a replacement, YouTube Music. I imported all of my podcasts, and they are all working the same way as before the change, except for The Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. Searching YouTube Music for "irish & celtic music podcast" on YouTube Music brings up these search results, of which one looks like the right one, this result. However, that podcast doesn't seem to have the correct shows - the most recent one is from 2023; I'm not able to listen to Red - Haired Bully Boys #657 or Plant Your Boots For Freedom #656 at that link. I'm sure you're busy, but just wondering if you had any insight into this. It's worth mentioning that, if I understand correctly, this app doesn't require people's podcasts to be hosted on YouTube - I'm listening to the Savage Lovecast, for example, just as I usually do, and I don't think Dan has moved his show archive over to YouTube; I'm just using YouTube Music to listen to his regular, free podcast XML feed like usual. Anyway, thanks for taking the time and for all the work that you're doing.” Daniel Morrison emailed: “Hi Marc, I am finally making my first trip to Ireland. My Grandparents of both sides are Ireland. Castle Bar Mayo, Tuam Galway for Dad's my Grandparents. Kenmare Kerry for Ma's my Grandparents Going on Package deal for 7 days. Your Podcast has inspired Me so much to make the trip.” Christine Manbeck emailed a photo responding to my St Patrick's Day question: “Guinness Chocolate cake; parade; Screaming Orphans concert”

Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, also known as the “King of the Cowboys” and “Queen of the West”, were household names throughout most of the second half of the 20th century. Following several failed marriages each, they married in 1947 and remained married for over 50 years until Roy's passing in 1998. During their successful careers, the couple starred in numerous western films, often alongside Roy's famous horse “Trigger”. They appeared on many television variety shows including one they hosted themselves. They also entertained their fans at many live events such as rodeos and parades & were often heard singing a song written by Dale, called “Happy Trails”. In this episode of Your History Your Story, we will be speaking with Julie Rogers Pomilia, the granddaughter of Roy and Dale. Julie will be speaking about her recently released book, “Your Heroes, My Grandparents, a Granddaughter's Love”. She will share stories about growing up in the Rogers family and how, despite a series of family challenges and tragedies, Roy & Dale were able to consistently foster an atmosphere of love, fun and faith.

Julie Rogers Pomilia is the granddaughter of the iconic and legendary Western movie and TV stars, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. In her groundbreaking book, "Your Heroes, My Grandparents," Julie offers a unique and personal perspective on the lives of her famous grandparents, who were known as the "Royal Western Couple." Growing up during the peak of their popularity in the 1950s and 1960s, Julie witnessed firsthand the love and acceptance her grandparents embodied as they adopted five children from different backgrounds and cultures.As the youngest daughter of Dale Evans' only biological son, Julie shares heartfelt stories about living with her famous grandparents and how they embraced the concept of a blended family. In a time when the idea of adoption was not widely discussed, Roy and Dale stood out as trailblazers, creating a diverse and loving household. Their brood of children, often seen in matching Western outfits, became a symbol of their unconventional but inclusive family.Throughout the book, Julie delves into various topics and anecdotes, shedding light on the challenges and pressures her grandparents faced in the entertainment industry. She recounts how Hollywood demanded a facade of perfection, revealing the lengths her grandfather went to meet the industry's standards, including using eyedrops to enhance his appearance. Despite the demands, Roy and Dale always made time for their family, prioritizing birthdays, school plays, and special events. They showed that family was everything, regardless of their fame and commitments.Julie also uncovers the lesser-known aspects of her grandmother's life, sharing Dale's difficult journey to fame, which included early marriages, divorces, and intense struggles. But Dale's indomitable spirit and perseverance led her to become an iconic figure in her own right. Meanwhile, Julie recalls her own realization of her grandparents' fame when she saw her grandpa's photo on the cover of a Weekly Scholastic Reader in second grade, assuming it was a normal occurrence for everyone.The book highlights the genuine and unassuming nature of Roy and Dale. Julie reveals how her grandma, the songwriter behind "Happy Trails," never made a big deal out of her accomplishments, and her grandpa, a bashful country boy, was hard to truly know. But their ordinary lives were filled with extraordinary experiences and an unbreakable bond that endured through personal tragedies, including the loss of three of their own children.Julie shares delightful stories of the family's occasional appearances on television, from Billy Graham Crusades to salad dressing commercials and the Jonathan Winters Christmas Show. Each chapter presents a stand-alone story, offering readers an intimate, humorous, and tender glimpse into the lives of these beloved American heroes."Your Heroes, My Grandparents" is a captivating memoir that transports readers through Julie Rogers Pomilia's cherished memories, spanning from her earliest recollections to the time of her grandparents' passing. With warmth and positivity, Julie invites readers to connect with Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, demonstrating why they remain iconic figures who left an indelible mark on American history.

Author: Julie Rogers Pomillia, Granddaughter of legendary film stars, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. Book: Your Heros / My Grandparents / A Granddaughters Love Your Heroes, My Grandparents is filled with an abundance of candid pictures, many of them never seen by the public. Your Heroes, My Grandparents, by Julie Rogers Pomilia is a charming read, and the first book ever to chronicle the lives of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, one of the most famous couples in western film and television history from the distinctive perspective of their grandchild. We knew them as our heroes, but she knew them as simply, Grandma and Grandpa. Having lived through the '50s and '60s at the height of their popularity, and on into these current times when few people under the age of 50 remember who they were and the impact they had on American culture, the author shares unique insights about what it was like living with her famous grandparents. Still relatable, these heartwarming experiences transcend time and generational differences. More at: https://www.wideopencountry.com/dale-evans-roy-rogers/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Brian and Lee talk with the Julie Rogers Pomilia, granddaughter of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. Pomilia talks about her book “Your Heroes, My Grandparents”, originally written for her three sons. The post The Brian and Lee Show: Interview with Julie Rogers Pomilia appeared first on WWDB-AM.
Julie Rogers Pomilia is the granddaughter of one of the most famous couples in Western film & TV history, the legendary Western Movie & TV Stars Roy Rogers & Dale Evans . They were the Brad & Angelina of the 50's having adopted 5 out of their 9 children who were often photographed all lined up in little matching western outfits. (OMG I used to dress up just like that when I was a little kid.) Julie is the youngest daughter of Dale Evans' only biological son. She first realized her grandparents were famous when Grandpas' photo was on the cover of Weekly Scholastic in 2nd grade. LOL Julie was in her dorm room in college when she first heard the infamous song ‘Happy Trails' on the radio and heard the announcer say Dale Evan's wrote the song . She had no clue. She called up her Grandma and and said, “Really Grandma? You wrote that song? No one in this family tells me anything” Lol Some good inspiartional lyrics in the song Happy Trails. "Some trails are happy ones, Others are blue. It's the way you ride the trail that counts!" Famous as the couple was, Julie remembers family was everything to them and though they could be sleeping over at the White House one weekend they'd be on the floor playing Old Maid with the kids the next . But Julie shared, there was as much tragedy in the family as there was joy, as the couple lost three children along the way. Roy Rogers & Dale Evans were second only to Walt Disney in their merchandising in the late 40's and 50's with over 400 items with their names and likeness. They actually didn't not make a lot of money from their movies back then because that's just how it was, so they had to make their money through products. As for ‘Trigger' Roy's' famous horse, he lived to be 30 years old and yes it's true after he passed he was stuffed and mounted at the Roy Rogers and Dale Evan's Museum. His hide was stitched over a foam mold and he was placed in his signature rearing move. Meet the lovely Julie Rogers Pomilia on this podcast of our live conversation on The Debbie Nigro Show. Her new book “Your Heroes, My Grandparents” is just out.

Welcome to the season 4 premier of The Lindberghs Podcast. About this Episode Hi, it's Erik Lindbergh. Welcome to the season 4 premier of The Lindberghs Podcast! This season we are organizing our theme around the idea of the "Ripple Effect.” This is the idea that our work creates ripples that reverberate outward from our lives that touch, affect and inspire other people, and their work in turn ripples outward. My Grandparents both created ripples that spread around the world and are still rippling today. This season gives us an opportunity to explore some of those ripples and the people who are creating positive change in the world today. But life isn't always a still pond, sometimes life rough and we struggle to breathe and stay afloat. Sometimes we cause negative ripples - does that define who we are? Why do people still call my Grandfather an antisemite? What is cancel culture? What happens when we rewrite history? What ripples are we each making today? How can you make a difference in the world today? As I write this I am grieving the death of my father Jon and quite literally struggling to breathe above the turbulent waters in my recent life. It helps me to move forward knowing I have things to look forward to and to strive for. How can I make strong ripples and inspire others to do the same? How can we balance advancing technology with preservation of the environment? Our future literally depends upon what we do consciously today and what we plan to do tomorrow. In many ways this is the most exciting season yet. We have a formal partner in The Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation (which makes perfect sense), and we have guests that are leading edge thinkers, writers, hysterians (a pun at guests James Hansen and Frances Levines expense ;-) explorers and even a centenarian Max Gurney who is our honorary ambassador to Monaco and introduced me to HSH Prince Albert II who has agreed to become a centennial circle member helping with the 100th anniversary of my Grandfather's (hysteric ;-)) 1927 New York to Paris flight. I hope that this season gives you inspiration and vision to help you spread positive ripples outward in your life. Perhaps to have a positive influence on someone or make the connections for someone that can change someone else's life for the better. That is my hope and our payload - Enjoy! Sincerely, Erik Lindbergh Our Favorite Quotes from this Episode He was a great amazing quiet guy who chose the sea instead of the sky.

There is no future for a people who deny their past. My Fore-parents, My Grandparents, My Mother, My Father did not suffer and die to give me an education to slight, oppress or discourage my people. Whatsoever education I acquired out of their sacrifice of over 300 years, I shall use for the salvation of the 400 million Black people of the world. And the DAY when I forsake my people; may GOD Almighty say, “there shall be no more life for you”. I unequivocally rejected the racist assumption of much white American Christianity. Namely that God had created the black man inferior. And that he intended Negroes to be a Servant class, heavers of wood and drawers of water. Well I predicated my view of man on the doctrine of E Margo De E “all men regardless of color are created in the image of GOD”. From this premise come the equality of all men and brotherhood of all men. The Biblical injunction of Acts 17:26 reminds us that He created of one blood all nations of men to dwell on the face of the earth and is most interested in brotherhood than with ones own race. Because if Negroes are created in God’s image, and Negroes are Black then God must IN SOME SENSE be Black. If the White man has the Idea of a white God let him worship his God as he desires. We have found a new ideal. Because God has No color, and yet it is HUMAN to see everything through ones own spectacles, and since the white people have seen their god thru their white spectacles, we have only now started to see our God thru our own Spectacles. But we believe in the God of Ethiopia, the everlasting God; God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy One, the one God of all the Ages; that is the God of whom we believe but we shall worship HIM thru the spectacles of Ethiopia. For two hundred and fifty years we have struggled under the burden and rigors of slavery. We were maimed, we were brutalized, we were ravaged in every way. We are men, we have hopes, we have passions, we have feelings, we have desires just like any other race. The cry of race all over the world, of Canada for the Canadians, of America for the Americans, Of England for the English, of France for the French or Germany for the Germans; do they think it unreasonable that we the Blacks of the world should raise our cry Africa for the Africans? The Negro is a MAN; we represent the New Negro. His back is not yet against the wall, we do not want his back against the wall because that would be a peculiar and desperate position. We do not want him there. It is because of this we are asking for a fair compromise. Well the Belgians have control over the Belgian Congo, which they cannot use. They have not the resources to develop, nor the intelligence. The French have more territory than they can develop, there’s certain parts of Africa in which they cannot live at all. So it is for YOU to come together and give us a United States of Africa. We are not going to be a race without a country. God never intended it and we are not going to disappoint God’s confidence in us as Men. We are Men, human beings, capable of the same acts as any other race. Possessing under fair circumstances the same INTELLIGENCE as any other race. Now Africa’s been sleeping. Not dead, only sleeping. Today Africa is walking around not only on our feet but on our brains. You can enslave us for some 300 years, the bodies of men, you can shackle the hands of men, you can shackle the feet of men, you can imprison the bodies of men, BUT YOU CANNOT SHACKLE OR IMPRISON THE MINDS OF MEN. Rise up Black Men, and take your stand. Reach up black men and women and pull all nature’s knowledge to you. Turn ye around and make a conquest of everything North and South, East and West. And then we you have wrought well, you will have merited God’s blessing, you will become God’s chosen people and naturally you’ll become leaders of the world. And as you bow down to the white man today, so will others bow down to you and call you a race of masters because of the intelligence of your mind and your achievements. No race has the last word on culture and civilization. They do not know what we’re capable of; they do not know what we’re thinking. They’re thinking in terms of dreadnaughts, battleships, airplanes and submarines. You know what we’re thinking about? That is our own private business. So give us credit for being able to use our minds. And once people are in concept of themselves; determined to use their minds you do not know to what extent they can go. Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men. Let up the white race, not for social fellowship but for the common good of God and tell him he should live. What satisfaction can anyone get in being happy and see his brother wallowing in filth, death and disease? How can you be happy living in luxury and your brother is living in disease? Then when you try to help the one out of the disease, there are talks of a disloyalty. Black men of Carthage, Black men of Ethiopia, of Timbuktu to Alexandria gave the likes of civilization to this world. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God and princes shall come out of Egypt. Those classes, nations, races have been quite quiet for over four centuries. Who have merely bore the view in self humiliation, whose forbearance can only be compared to the prophet Job as likewise lifted his bowed head and raised it up at God’s cries, and cried out “I am a man and demand a man’s chance and a man’s treatment in this world.” As I shall teach the black man, I shall teach the black man to see beauty in his own kind and stop bleaching his skin and otherwise looking like what he’s not. Back in the days of slavery, Race mixture, Race miscegenation all occurred BECAUSE THE AFRICAN WOMAN HAD NO PROTECTION FROM THE SLAVEMASTER. Therefore there is no need today for black people themselves to freely continue a PRACTICE that SMACKS so much of slavery. Our leaders say the race problem will be solved thru higher education. Thru better education, black and white will come together, that day will never happen until Africa is redeemed. Cause if those who like W.E.B Dubois believe that the race problem will be solved in America thru higher education, they will work between now and eternity and never see the problem solved. God made man lord of his creation; gave him possession and ownership of the world. And you have been so darned lazy that you’ve allowed the other brother to run away with the whole world. Now he’s bluffing you and telling you that the world belongs to him and that you have no part in it. I don’t have to apologize to anybody for being Black, because God Almighty knew exactly what he was doing when he made me Black. If black people knew their glorious past then they would be MORE inclined to respect themselves. Yes, you’ve heard of Johnny walker red, and black, well he had his adversities but he’s still going strong. Well I intend with your help and God’s grace to continue, cause my work has only just begun. Future generations shall have in their hands the guide by which they shall know the sins of the 20th century. I know, and I know you to believe in time, but we shall wait patiently for 200 years if need be, to face our enemies for our prosperity. When mine enemies are satisfied, in life I shall come back or in death even to serve you as I served before. In life I shall be the same, in death I SHALL BE A TERROR to foes of African liberty. If death hath power then conquer me to be the real Marcus Garvey I would like to be. If I may come in an earthquake, or a plague, or a pestilence, or if God would have me, then be assured that I shall never desert you and make your enemies triumph over you. Will I not go to hell a million times for you? If I die, my work will only just then begin. For I shall live in a physical or spiritual to see the day of Africa’s Glory. When I am dead, wrap the mantle of the Red, the Black and the Green around me for in a New Life I shall RISE UP with God’s grace and blessings to lead the millions to the heights of triumph, that you well know. Look for me in the whirlwind or a storm, look for me all around you, for with God’s grace I shall come back with countless millions of Black men and women who have died in America, those who have died in the West Indies and those who have died in Africa to aid You in fight for liberty, freedom and life. Any leadership that teaches you to depend upon another race is a leadership that will enslave you. Any leadership that teaches you to depend upon another race is a leadership that will enslave you! They gave leadership to our Foreparents and that leadership made them slaves. But we have decided to find a leadership of our own, to make ourselves free men. Our great scholars have advanced thru the colleges, and universities have thrown away the blacken record. Babylon did it. Assyria did it. France under Napoleon did it. Germany under Prince Jon Bismarck did it. England did it. America under George Washington did it. Africa with 400 million Black People can do it. If you cannot do it, if you are not prepared to do it then you will DIE. You race of cowards, you race of imbeciles, you race of good for-nothings, if you cannot do what other men have done, what other nations have done, what other races have done, THEN YOU HAD BETTER DIE. Can we do it? We can do it? We shall do it. We’ve prayed to God for vision and for leadership and he has given us a Universal vision. A vision that will not limit our possibilities to America, a vision that will not limit our possibilities to the West Indies but a vision that says that there must be a free and redeemed Africa. Christ the crucified, Christ the despised, we appeal to you to help, for leadership. When you endeavored to carry your burden up the heights of Calvary, when white men spurned you, when white men scorned you, when white men spat upon you, when white men pierced your side and blood and water gushed forth, it was BLACK MAN in the name of Simon the Syrian who took your cross and bore it up the heights of Calvary. Now we are bearing our cross and the burden has been so heavy. Oh yes, the Cause is Grand, the Cause is Glory, surely we shall not turn back. Oh, Sail on! Sail on! Sail on! Oh Mighty Shepherd says Sail on! Sail on, until the Flag of the Red, the Black and the Green is perched upon the hilltops of Africa. Because the time has come for the Black man to forget his hero worship of other races, and to create and emulate Heroes of his own. We must canonize our own Saints, create our own Martyrs, and elevate to positions of fame and honor black men and women who have made their distinct contributions to our racial history. Sojourner Truth is worthy of the place of Sainthood alongside Joan of Arc; Crispus Attucks and George William Gordon are entitled to the Halo of martyrdom with no less glory than that of the Martyrs of any other race. Toussaint L’Ouverture’s brilliancy as a soldier or a statesman outshine that of any other people: hence, He is entitled to the Highest place as a hero among men. Africa has created millions, countless millions of black men and women in war and in peace, whose luster and bravery outshine that of any other people. Then why not see good and perfection in ourselves? We must inspire a literature and promulgate a doctrine of our own without any apologies to the powers that be. That right is Ours and God’s. Let sentiments and cross opinions go to the winds. We are entitled to our own opinion and are not obligated to or bound by the opinions of others. If others laugh at you, return the laughter to them; if they mimic you, return the compliment with equal force. They have no more right to dishonor, discredit you in Manhood than you have in dealing with them. Honor them when they honor you; disrespect and disregard them when they vilely treat you. Their arrogance is but skin deep, an assumption that has no foundation in morals or in law. They have sprung from the same family tree of obscurity as we have. Their history is as rude in its primitiveness as ours; their ancestors were running wild and living in trees of branches like monkeys as ours; they made human sacrifices, ate the flesh of their own dead and wild meat from beasts for centuries even as they have accused us of doing; their cannibalism is more prolonged than ours. When we were embracing the banks of the Nile, they were still drinking blood out of the skulls of their conquered dead. After our civilization had reached the noonday of progress they were still living in holes with bats, rats and other insects and animals. After we had already unfathomed the mystery of the stars and reduced the heavenly constellations to minute and regular calculus they were still backwoodsmen, living in ignorance and in blatant darkness. The world is indebted to us for the benefits of civilization. They stole our arts and sciences from Africa. Then why should we be ashamed of ourselves? Their modern improvements are but duplicates of a grander civilization that we reflected thousands of years ago, without the advantage of what is buried and still hidden, to be reflected and resurrected by our generation and our posterity. Why should we be discouraged if somebody laughs at us today? Who is to tell what tomorrow will bring forth? Did they not laugh at Christ, Moses, Muhammad? Was there not a Carthage, Greece and Rome? So we see and have changes every day. So pray, work, be steadfast and be not dismayed. As the Jew is held together by his religion, the white racist by the assumption and the unwritten law of superiority, the Mongolian by the precious tie of blood, likewise the Black Man must unite in one grand racial hierarchy. Our union must know no clime, no nationality. But let us all hold together in every country and every clime, making a Racial Empire upon which “the sun shall never set.” Let no voice but your own speak to you from the depths. Let no influence but your own rouse you in time of peace and time of war. Hear all, but attend only to that which concerns you. Your allegiance shall be to your God, your race, your country. Remember that the Jew in his political and economic urges is always first a Jew; the white man is first a white man under ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. So you can do no less, BE BLACK; BUY BLACK; THINK BLACK AND ALL ELSE WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF. Let NO ONE inoculate you with evil doctrines to suit his own conveniences. “Charity begins at home.” So first to thyself be true and “thou canst not then be false to no man.” God and Nature first made us first what we are, and out of our own creative Genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let God and the sky be our limit, and eternity our measurement. There is no height to which you cannot climb without the active intelligence of your own mind. Mind creates, and as much as we desire in nature we can have through the creation of our own minds. And today being scientifically the weaker race, you shall treat others only as they treat you; but in your homes and everywhere possible, you must teach the higher development of science to your children; and make sure; and make sure that we have a race of scientists par excellence. For in religion and science lies our only hope to withstand the evil designs of modern materialism. Never forget your God. Remember, that we live, work, and pray for a binding racial hierarchy, whose only natural, spiritual and political limits shall be God and “Africa, at home and abroad.” With God’s dearest blessings, I leave you for a while… ONE LOVE.

Made a podcast with the 2 people who helped me understand the expression "fighting like an old, married couple". My Grandparents grew up in a small town outside of Sikeston, Missouri. They got married when they were just 18 (they are mid 70s in this episode). At 18, they moved to Italy because my grandpa was a spy for the military.

All of these experiences are my own, and they have molded me, like your life has have molded you. This is my life, and I am trying my damndest to be the hero I needed around when things were at their worst. I can't go back in time, correct anyones mistakes, I can only move forward, and become that hero for myself, and show that if I can do it for myself. You can do it for yourself. Every now and then you find a reason to give up. It could be failure, or circumstance. Depression or anxiety, fear or any other reasons in the slew of reasons life can give you. But we all know that hero, that one person, who no matter how easy it is to just quit. Doesn't. In the end, you need to be that hero for yourself. Now forgive me, in this episode, I just talk about myself. My life, and my experiences with the things that have made me want to quit at one point or another. The things that still weigh heavy on my mind even today. This episode honestly doesn't really come to a cathartic close. I say the word hero a whole bunch. But I do not want anyones pity. My life hasn't ended, and I have more to do now than ever. I am grateful for that. But only from the bad, can we finally be mindful and recognize the good. I have always been a better writer than a speaker. For whoever wants to skip this episode, by all means. I will be back with another one next week. For those who don't skip it, and listen to it: It does get better. I still struggle, I still fail, I still want to sit and be a sad sack. But I have to at one point or another, whip my own butt back into shape. We all have the ability to be the hero. I love all of my parents. My Grandparents. My family. My friends. My team. Most importantly you guys taking the time to be your own heroes. Any questions? Want to talk?

"Great grief means great love”. Those were the words that the Shaman told me the next morning while we all sat together in the common area finishing our breakfast of local fresh fruits and oatmeal. It was a long and intense first night towards a powerful step to healing myself with Ayahuasca. I had cried what seemed gallons of tears as my body purged the pain that was buried in me. The grieving process was a dark hole that I desperately wanted to climb out of. I had never lost anyone close to me before. My Grandparents passed when I was young, and my parents are still thankfully alive and well. How could one possibly be equipped to lose someone they were just getting ready to spend the rest of their life with? No one is. All I wanted to know was when would the pain end? When would I be “OK”? When will I be happy again? How can I get through the day without medicating myself? When every day feels like an eternity of pain. It’s hard to see the light at the tunnel. The only way towards that light was with deep self-care, love, and patience. In this episode, I speak about my journey through grief, the steps I took to heal myself and how grief can help make you #unfuckwithable

Hello Goal Getter Nation, This is Tony Woodall, your host for Goal Getting Podcast. Today we're going to be talking about Defining Your Why Why Baby Why? And what we're talking about with that is, "why do you do what you do? Or, "why are you trying to get the goals you set?" One of the most difficult things, I think, to get the goals you set, is to determine what your why is, to Define Your Why. I found it easier to write it down as I'm thinking about it along with My What, which is what I want to achieve and My How, the action steps I have to do to accomplish it So I created a worksheet to help me create My What, My How and My Why and you can download a copy of the worksheet later at GoalGettingPodcast.com/action And, I've been to motivational speaking seminars for many years. I've gone to more than I can think of, or as my grandparents use to say, More than I can shake a stick at. You know I used to go to see a lot of motivational speakers since I was in my early 20's. When I first heard about products from Amway, I became an Amway distributor many, many, many years ago. One of the things that got me started is I wanted to be successful. I wanted to make a lot of money. I wanted to be wealthy. I wanted to enjoy life. And I wanted to be motivated so I started going to the motivational seminars to learn more about the business and things. I got involved along with Amway and later in life several other multi-level marketing or direct marketing organizations and I don't have anything bad to say about them. So I am not talking negative or positive about that particular experience because I did learn a lot business, about life, about sales and marketing working in those organizations. But I also got my start listening and studying motivational speakers. And I love motivational speakers. I still listen to motivational speakers today. You know I’ve listened to some of the best. I went to several Tony Robbins seminars; I've got and read all of his books and several taped programs of his. Mark Victor Hanson, I listened to him before he did the Chicken Soup for the Soul series that he's involved in. I've listened to many, many motivational speakers. I did the sound for one, Mike... and I can't remember his name now. He helped me when I spoke to him one morning at breakfast and we were talking about being motivated and being successful and you know, we talked about some family relationships I had with my birth father, and they weren't good relationships. He was talking about how we had to forgive those who had wronged us. We don't have to necessarily be around them or like them, but we do have to forgive them. That was the key. It has nothing to do with motivation, but it does motivate you because being angry with people doesn't get you motivated. When we're talking about goals, one of the things I did going to motivational seminars, one of the things that you see frequently, is they ask you and they start bringing up all of these different things that motivate people and ask what motivates you. Is it new cars? Maybe it's that Rolls Royce, or that Bentley or the Maybach. In my day, back when I was going through this as a youngster, it was the Cadillac that was the thing. It was the Cadillac El Dorado was my favorite car that I wanted back then. That was the thing you strived for was to have a big, fancy car, whether the Cadillac, Rolls Royce or Bentley, a Ferrari or BMW, a sports car or something like that. Was that what motivated you? A new car. Or maybe it was a new home or a mansion. I remember talking about getting this big home with white columns on it. I am from the south and we always invisioned having the columns on the outside of our homes. One of the things you wanted a home on a golf course or a beach house, a mountain retreat or second home for vacations on the beach or whatever. So alot of times you are motived or try to get motivated for success or to make a lot of money or whatever. Money Motivated is the big thing alot of people talk about. I am personally money motivated. I like to do things to earn money. But, money isn't really the money that's motivating you and me. I got thinking about that later on in life. We think about money and what are the things that motivate you. In today's episode it's kind of about motivation. So I want you to think while we are talking here. What motivates you. What gets' you excited to get out of bed and to do the things like that. What motivates you? Because we start looking at these things as we start looking at new cars, new homes, vactaions, I love to cruise. I have been on many cruises with different cruise lines. I love to travel. I haven't traveled as much as I would have like to. I've been mostly in the Caribbean. My goal is to travel on the Pacific side. Out in the Pacific, go to Hawaii, Tahiti, Singapore, maybe some other places in Asia. I still want to visit Japan. As a martial artist my martial arts instructor and sensei, the gransmaster is in Japan. He's been to the states several times and I've taken seminars with him and learned, but i never got an opportunity to go to Japan and train with him there at the schools there. That's still one of my goals. So Travel is a motivation. Finally maybe you've got a goal or the motivation is money. Again, Financial is a big motivator for a lot of people. You've got kids and want to put them through college or put yourself through college, or pay for your college you got. Most millinials today have so much college debt. Student loans and things like that. I am paying for my daughter's student loans. I'm paying for my daughter's student loans, or more so my student loans for my daughter, Not her's as she has her own student loans which are more than mine, actually, which is really sad when you think about it. Maybe you want to do something for putting yourself, your children, or your Grandchildren, though college at some point in time. Maybe you just want to increase your income or get a job. Those are some motivational things for dealing with Financial or money. Maybe your motivation is health. To Lose Weight, get in better shape, to be able to run a marathon or an ultra-marathon. I found out about ultra-marathon and I didn't realize there was a such thing as an Ultra-Marathon until recently when one of my coworkers was talking about his wife and he, who do ultra-marathons on the weekend. I didn't realize they were called ultra-marathons until after. He talked about how she goes out to run 100 mile runs on the weekend. It's like a 36 hour of runnning they do. Man that is amazing that someone can run that far. You have to be able to be motivated to do that, in my opinion. What we want to talk about today is not these type of motivation or the things that excite you or motivate you or want to have. These are goals, I believe, they aren't really motivations. They are goals you can have, but when you think about goals and setting and achieving goals, one of the key elements I used to forget about and never rally thought about it, Why do I want that. Another motivational speaker, and I apologize I can't remember which one it was that I had heard and was talking to one day and listening to one of their talks and they said, You really have to know your Why! And I didn't understand that when I first heard that. I thought, Why, Why Why do I do this and that's really one of the biggest things you have to think about when you want to set a goal and learning the Goal Getting, Don't Just Set'em Get'em Program that I teach on this podcast, Goal Getting Podcast or at seminars, or webinars that I do is talking about knowing your Why. I used to just talk about in my presentations that I did for Goal Getting, even before I learned about the Why part, was that you had to understand your motivations. Really, when you think about motivation there are two types of motivation I learned about. 1) People are motivated by what called "Away Motivation" They are really trying to get away from something, and that is what motivates them. So, the fear of going into bankruptcy is something that motivates a lot of people. They don't want to lose everything; they don't want to go to the poor house. That is one thing that motivates a lot of people, moving away from something bad. They don't want to get sick and die. They don't want to have a heart attack. They don't want to have an accident in their car, so they drive safely. Those are Away Motivations that people have. I used to teach and ask, “what are you trying to get away from”. 2) The other way people are motivated is "Towards Motivation". We try to get things to come towards us - like joy, happiness, a feeling of excitement, an adrenaline rush. Whatever it is that we want to get that feeling or excitement Towards us. We have the Toward Motivation and then we have the Away Motivation. That's what I originally thought about as the motivating factors for setting goals. Until I heard that one motivational speaker talk, and I apologize I can't remember who it was I was listening to. But, what they really talked about was, and this is what I teach now is, You have to know your Why. Why do you do what you’re doing to be successful, or what is the reason why you do your goals. Why is very important and you have to start looking at it. I have been studying Lean Six Sigma and Six Sigma type programs and one of the things they teach you in the six sigma process is to ask WHY. There is a minimum of 5-7 whys that you have to drill down to. It's kind of like a 3-4 year old. When my daughters were young, I dreaded the 3-4 year old stage because they asked about 4000 questions a day, it seemed, one every minute, and typically my daughters would always ask Why, Why, Why. I never always knew the answer, so I eventually always said, "because I said So." I did actually use that on my daughters a couple times and that was really wrong when they wanted to know why and especially as they got older and I had to tell them they couldn't do something. They always asked Why. But that's a different kind of why. As a child, your curiosity is very strong so you always wondering, sometimes as a matter of habit after a while. You have children as they are growing up 2-3-4 years old that start asking why about everything, You say do this, they go why, do this, why, because you need to do it this way and they go why...everybody is questioning authority and questioning the reason for whatever you are telling them to do at that age. That's because they are learning. And when you're working with your goals and you’re working with motivation and things like that you really have to understand what your Why is. Why do I want to do this, for example: Why do you want to lose weight? I've wanted to lose weight for quite a long time and mainly you have to think about asking why you want to lose weight. Well, I want to lose weight because I'm tired of being fat. I actually had my youngest daughter came up to me one day when I was sitting on the couch. She was probably about 3 - 4 years old if that old. She came up and asked, "Daddy, Why are you fat?" It hurt like crazy, but she didn't mean anything about it, she was just wondering and someone had been talking about fat people and may have even been talking about me. But, I was overweight, incredibly overweight at time and she goes, why are you overweight? I didn't have a good answer for her, other than the fact I liked to eat and I didn't eat properly. When I started trying to lose weight, I didn't think about my why for that. I started thinking about, well, I just don't like being overweight, I look ugly, I look fat, that was kind of my motivation at the time. I didn't want to be fat; I just wanted to be thin as people are supposed to be. As I got older, I got medical because of being overweight. I became a type 2 diabetic. Now, as I start losing weight, and I am on a weight loss program. I lost a bunch of weight. When I hit that scale one morning and realized looking at the scale and it read it say 296 pounds, I well, I almost crapped my pants, to be honest with you. I just could not believe it. I had been travelling a lot and eating out a lot and eating terrible foods and usually eating very little during the day, and then a big dinner or an whole, entire Domino’s Pizza or something in the hotel room right before going to bed, which is a horrible thing to do. That lead to obesity and it also led to the Type II Diabetes. Now when you get into that particular health situation, it costs money because you are spending money on all of these different drugs, because you not only end up with the diabetes medicine, you end up with high blood pressure and several other things you can get .. . High Cholesterol levels so you get on all of these different medicines and dad gum it, that's expensive. When I started my weight loss programs now as I got older I started thinking about what I need to do. What is my why? Why do I want to lose weight? It's not just to look good. I'm married, I have two beautiful daughters. I'm not trying to impress the ladies, or anyone else. I got over that long ago. But as I start thinking about my Why now, my Why is because I want to be healthy. I'd like to live longer. I'm getting up in age. My parents didn't live as long as I would like them to have lived. My Grandparents also had health issues and passed away too early. I started looking at this with my children, who I love dearly, and want at some point in my life to have grandchildren and be able to play and love and run around and have fun with them and spoil the crap out of them and take them to Walt Disney World and take them to amusement parks and things like that and have fun with them. Play ball with them if it's a boy or a girl play ball with them, run with them. Just have a good time. To do that, I have to be healthy. I have to live long enough to be able to do that because I don't know if my daughters are going to do it any time soon, have children so I can have grandchildren. So, in that respect, I have to live a long time to get where I can enjoy those bundles of joy. Right now, if I don't take care of myself I'm not going to be able to do that. The other is asking me, why that matters. I want to stop paying a heck of a lot of money for drugs. I want to save the 200-300 dollars per month I am spending on medicine. So if I just look at the why's for just losing weight, I realize that my ultimate why is for me is to not have to pay that money I am paying the doctor and to live longer and healthier. I want to be able to do a lot of things as I get older. I don't want to be restrained to a wheelchair or sit on the couch and things like that. I started thinking about your why and I started having my daughters and started raising my kids, I realized a lot of my why at that time became my daughters, my children. I wanted to succeed, to make more money, I wanted to have a better career so I could provide them with the things I never had. When you are thinking about your goals, I want you to start thinking about Why! Why do I want it. You need to keep asking yourself - If you say, I want to be successful or make a lot of money, our double your income, WHY do you want to double your income. I'm working with a client now who wants to double her income. We're talking about business and how she can do that, the different ways to do it. Let's focus on what your why is. Why do you want to double your income? Yes, you want to make more money, you want to be able to spend your money and do different things, but Why? We got to talking and she said she wanted to be able to do this, or provide for women, to be a motivational person to other women of certain ages. And I asked why do you want to do that? She said, I want to be able to do it, so I can make a little more money and provide for my son. I want to help him go to college. So, as we start going into the why, we keep asking, why do you want to do that? Why is that important to you? As you start asking yourself those questions, you start really defining, what is the real reason you are doing what you are doing. The reason I say that's really critical and the thing I found when I was talking to that motivational speaker that set me straight on this motivation as know your why because when you get frustrated, or get down, get extremely tired because things aren't going your way, instead of saying Screw It! You start thinking, why am I doing this, that WHY is stuck in your brain, within your heart, you understand why you're doing this particular goal and what it's going to take, you are going to continue to do it. You’re going to continue to start fighting to be the success and to get the goal that you set. You are going to make that final decision to continue because you know why you’re doing that. It's really important to understand your Why. It's not just because you want a new car. It's not just because you want to travel, It's not just because you want to have a big house. Bigger than the Jones' or whatever, or it could be, but it depends on what your why is. Everybody is different. What is your why? Maybe your why is because you want to be better than the Jones' or have more than your neighbors. It's really your why and that's what is important. Knowing your why is very, very important. Not just in motivation but in life. So, you want to, when you are setting your goals, when you write down your goals you know what you want, specifically, you are very specific, you're being realistic, you set that deadline, you got your action plan. You working on the actions you have to take and you are taking actions. You're measuring it. You're tracking your progress as you go along. You're seeing that you're doing that. Every day you start thinking. Not only do I have the What and the How and now I have the Why. I know why I am doing what I am doing. It keeps you motivated. It keeps you wanting to go forward. It keeps you on that track and on that path to achieve your goals. As long as you know and understand what your why is, it will make traveling on that path to success and achieving your goal much easier. Make sure you sit down, you think about what is your why. Know you why and if you know your why, you'll be successful. Michael Hyatt has a goal setting program he teaches and I was listening to his talk at the end of last year. His wife, Gloria, has a quote that she says, that he shared with us: "When People Lose Their Why, They Lose Their Way." -Gloria Hyatt That is a valid thought. If you don't remember or can understand what your Why is, you can lose your way while you're trying to achieve your goals. Get your Why! Find out what your why is and keep thinking about that. I like to keep My What, My How, and My Why available for me where I can read it and look at it on a daily basis. So, when I get where I'm frustrated and just say, "Is it really worth it?" I can say, "Yea, it really is, and this is why it's really worth it to me to keep doing what I am doing." This is Tony Woodall with Goal Getting Podcast. Make sure along with the rest of the steps to Successful Goal Achievement, that you define your Why. Know your Why and you won't lose your way as Gloria Hyatt says. Have a great day.
