This week and next we're joined by a very special guest - Arno Michaelis, author, anti-extremism activist, reformed white nationalist and former singer of the neo-Nazi metal band Centurion. You may have seen Arno recently on YouTube where he did a rather brilliant interview with Business Insider. As long time fans of the pod know, Chris' interest in the far-right is something we've touched upon a lot over the last 7 and a half years.

Learn about his transformation into an author and advocate for peace, his reflections on the influence of bands like Skrewdriver and Guns N' Roses, and the dangerous allure of conspiracy theories.

"I think she had a deep ambivalence about me, knowing me, having a relationship with me from the very beginning." -- Susan Kiyo Ito Read the transcript of this episode here: https://app.swellai.com/t/tp_01JJYRPQ0EJEGKW4GNXFMCA8CV EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode of Unraveling Adoption, I had the pleasure of speaking with Susan Kiyo Ito, a writing professor and author of the memoir I Would Meet You Anywhere. Susan's book, a culmination of 30 years of work, explores her journey as a biracial adoptee—half Japanese and half white—who was adopted at three and a half months old by Japanese American parents. We delved into Susan's origin story, her relationship with her adoptive parents, and her deep desire to connect with her birth mother, Yumi. Susan described Yumi as a charismatic yet ambivalent figure, reflecting on the complexities of their relationship and the cultural stigma surrounding adoption in Japanese society. Throughout our conversation, we discussed the emotional weight of adoption, the challenges of identity, and the universal longing for connection that many adoptees experience. Susan shared how writing her memoir was a healing process, allowing her to articulate her experiences and put down the burdens she had carried for so long. We also touched on the misconceptions surrounding adoption, particularly the notion of "luck," and how important it is for adoptive parents to support their children in their search for identity and connection without imposing their own feelings onto them. As we wrapped up, Susan encouraged listeners to embrace their stories and consider the power of sharing their experiences. Her insights and reflections provide a valuable perspective on the complexities of adoption, making this episode a must-listen for anyone impacted by adoption or interested in understanding its nuances. ===============

From the smiles and eye contact at check-in to the small, deliberate acts of trust-building, service advisors and BDC agents are making a difference. Many dealerships are targeting customer experience right now, but it's service departments that handle the most clients daily, making this effort non-negotiable. You'll learn how simple promises, effective follow-ups, and personal connections can transform customer interactions into lasting loyalty.

Values-Aligned Work [00:11:25] “Our work is so deeply therapeutic in real estate sales and helping people transition between different parts of their lives, a lot of times people are moving from one identity to another identity. It could be a divorce, it could be the loss of a parent, it could be a job change, but there's a lot of roiling transition in their lives and I think that understanding or being able to empathize with that moment in their lives and being able to sort of care for it is a big part of it.”  [00:39:42] “I just have to reinvest in my values right now. And that is how our team operates. There's so many values that I could go into, but what I'm learning, because as you grow and scale, you can start to lose your core value structure. And the last few months I've been like let's get back to who we are as people and what started this whole thing.”[00:49:01] “I want my business, our business, to reflect the value that we feel, which is that we care for one another. We care for these clients and we put their interests above anything that's financial.” Connect with David GundermanWebsite - https://thegundermangroup.com/  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thegundermangroup/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheGundermanGroup/Audio/video editing and show notes by Podcast Abundance.

Sam balances his electrical business, Ramp Electrical, with creative storytelling for children. He delves into his past experiences and influences, revealing how his father and father-in-law significantly impacted his trajectory. Unplanned Success Through Creativity Sam Ramsden, originally running an electrical business, never predicted the massive success of his podcast, "Silly Stories for Kids." This podcast started as a fun project for his children, encouraged by his father-in-law. It quickly gained traction, achieving nearly 1.5 million downloads within a year. Sam shares how he uses "Suno," a music AI, to create personalized songs for people at work and social gatherings, enhancing his storytelling endeavors. One interesting quote from Sam: "What started as bedtime stories has become a global phenomenon, all thanks to family encouragement and a bit of fun."  Suno Music AI: Suno The Role of Family and Personal Influences Sam's family plays a crucial role in his podcasting journey. His father-in-law suggested starting the podcast, which turned out to be a brilliant idea. Sam's passion for storytelling and creativity stems from his childhood, influenced deeply by his father. He emphasizes how positive influence and support from family members can profoundly shape one's work and creativity. Key takeaway: Supportive relationships and following one's passion can lead to unexpected success and personal fulfillment. Balancing Work, Life, and Creativity Managing an electrical business and running a successful podcast isn't easy, but Sam Ramsden does it with remarkable balance. Despite his busy schedule as a father of four, he finds joy in spontaneous creativity, often attributing it partly to ADHD, which he considers a superpower in storytelling. He shares that having a supportive wife helps him stay on track and manage his time effectively. Sam's wise words: "Balancing family, business, and creative endeavors is really about knowing what's important and giving time to those things." Handling Business Challenges Running Ramp Electrical presented many unforeseen challenges, especially during the COVID pandemic, which resulted in lost contracts and personal losses, including the passing of Sam's mother. These experiences have taught him valuable lessons about resilience and prioritization. Sam believes in learning from mistakes and emphasizes the importance of systems and processes, though he admits to needing help in consistently following them. Quote for inspiration: "Think of mistakes as lessons that guide you towards bigger success. Sometimes what not to do is just as important." Mental Health and Personal Growth Sam emphasizes the importance of mental health and seeing a psychologist to realign thoughts and provide self-grace when things don't go as planned. He compares mental health check-ups to regular servicing of a vehicle. This approach not only helped Sam maintain balance but also enabled him to bring more joy and positivity into his life and work. Key lesson: Taking care of your mental health is crucial for maintaining balance and gaining perspective, much like maintaining a vehicle to ensure it runs smoothly. Understanding and Communication Understanding one's thought processes can greatly enhance communication and empathy. Sam encourages asking others to describe their thinking processes to understand them better and reduce misunderstandings. He highlights that everyone thinks differently, and understanding this can help in fostering better personal and professional relationships. Example shared: Sam's nephew thinks in pictures, which was a revelation for Sam and helped him connect better with his nephew.  "Untethered Soul" by Michael Singer: Untethered Soul Resources from Episode Listen to Silly Stories for Kids Try Suno for yourself and send us the fun songs you create Check out the Yoto Players for your kids Conclusion Sam Ramsden's journey from an electrical business owner to a successful children's podcaster is inspiring and filled with valuable lessons.
