Send us a textThank you, Henna Pryor for making today's episode possible!!!Greg Offner lived a compartmentalized life—corporate sales professional by day, piano bar performer by night. Though successful in both worlds, he felt disconnected from his authentic self, keeping different aspects of his personality in separate "buckets." Then disaster struck: a severe vocal cord injury threatened everything, leaving one vocal cord paralyzed after years of overuse, smoking, and untreated acid reflux.Greg poured his experience in music, business, and behavioral psychology into a framework for creating emotionally resonant, high-impact workplace experiences. The result became a keynote—and a book—focused on transforming disengaged workplaces into cultures where people thrive.Today, Greg helps organizations around the globe design Encore Experiences™—workplace moments so meaningful, people can't wait to come back and do it again.Through fifteen surgical procedures and periods of complete silence (communicating only through a whiteboard while healing), Greg spiraled into depression. The turning point came unexpectedly at a Tony Robbins event when a stranger named Svetlana observed: "You're trying to keep all these different parts of your life in buckets... But what if you didn't have those buckets? What if it was all brought together in one thing and that was you?" Pointing to the stage where Tony was speaking, she said, "I think you'd be doing something like that"—a lightning bolt moment that changed everything.Today, as a keynote speaker and father to two young daughters (Frankie, 4, and Trixie, 2), Greg brings his whole self to every aspect of life. He shares profound insights about balancing his driven personality with the unpredictability of parenting: "Replace expectations with hopes. Instead of mapping out my day, maybe replace it with 'wouldn't it be nice if...'" This shift creates space for grace when things don't go as planned.Drawing from his musical background, Greg teaches his daughters to "play your instrument in a way that elevates the performance of the players around you"—a philosophy that extends beyond music to life itself. His remarkable journey reminds us that sometimes our greatest setbacks lead to our most authentic path forward, especially when we stop compartmentalizing and bring all parts of ourselves together.Please don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts!

Okay, so this week we're talking about one of the most powerful tools we have out there for our focus, our mental health, our community, our families, our children, ourselves - music! We don't even realize how much music plays a role in our lives. And luckily, gone are the days of believing we must work in sterile, silent environments - many (or dare I say most?) brains, including those with ADHD and other EF challenges, truly benefit from some kind of stimulation while doing focused work. The power of music has been studied by researchers so if you'd like to learn more, I've shared some articles in the show notes. But one of the best resources I can recommend is a new book out called Resonant Minds. Written by a daughter and father pair, Sara and Mort Sherman, this book covers all aspects of music - from its impact on the brain and learning, including as a mindfulness practice or as Sara and Mort call it “mindful action”, to its positive impact on individuals and community. I sat down with Sara and Mort to learn about music and share stories about how music has impacted us and others and about, as Sara and Mort say, that music is ultimately about love. Sara and Mort are so uniquely qualified to write this book so I asked them to introduce themselves, and the book Resonant Minds is such a unique book that I knew it was only right for them to describe it, so let's get on with the show!Here are the show notes from today's episode:Learn More About Sara Shermanhttps://mozartformunchkins.com/Learn More About Morthttps://my.aasa.org/AASA/Resources/SAMag/Sep16/InsideSherman.aspxResonant Minds bookhttps://mozartformunchkins.com/resonant-minds-the-transformative-power-of-music-one-note-at-a-time/https://www.resonantminds.comResearch on Music and the BrainMelody for the Mind: Enhancing Mood, Motivation, Concentration, and Learning through Music Listening in the Classroomhttps://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/20592043231214085Keep Your Brain Young with Musichttps://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/keep-your-brain-young-with-musicThe transformative power of music: Insights into neuroplasticity, health, and diseasehttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10765015/The Youth Orchestra Hannah mentioned: https://gctyo.org/Learn More About Our MAP Programhttps://map.worksmartcoaching.comLearn More About 1:1 Coachinghttps://www.beyondbooksmart.com/how-it-worksGet in Touchpodcast@beyondbooksmart.comInstagram/Facebook/Tiktok: @beyondbooksmartcoachingwww.beyondbooksmart.com

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Patrick McGuire, Nashville Chapter Coordinator with Guitars for Vets, who highlights the nonprofit organization focused on sharing the healing power of music with our Veterans. Guitars for Vets (G4V) serves at-risk United States Veterans impacted by PTSD and other service-related trauma. Through their unique, 10-week structured guitar instruction program, G4V puts the healing power of music in the hands of our nation's heroes, helping to foster renewal, connection and community.During the interview, Patrick shares how the organization was founded in 2007 by guitar instructor, Patrick Nettesheim, and his student, Vietnam era Marine, Dan Van Buskirk, after realizing the guitar and lessons were a catalyst for positive human interaction and joy where it had once been lost. Patrick discusses the model and how guitars and lessons are provided at no cost to US Military Veterans who are referred by their doctor or a case/social worker at The Department of Veterans Affairs facilities. Ten private lessons are taught using practice guitars donated by the local community. Upon completion, the Veteran/student is awarded a new acoustic guitar and accessories. Patrick emphasizes the therapeutic benefits of learning guitar, citing its ability to help Veterans rewire their brains and find joy, while also highlighting the importance of volunteer instructors who possess patience, acceptance, gratitude, and empathy. The organization, which has about 170 chapters nationwide, relies on word-of-mouth and volunteer efforts to expand its reach and impact.Patrick wraps up explaining the need for financial contributions, donated guitars, and volunteer instructors to support the mission and continued growth of the organization. He emphasizes the importance of financial transparency and encourages listeners to visit the website for more information and to contact local chapter coordinators to get involved.Visit https://guitars4vets.org to learn more and to get involved with Guitars for Vets.https://www.facebook.com/GuitarsForVets/https://www.tiktok.com/@guitars_for_vetshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1zjBS5JiYhOeVLprWb8q_A

Welcome to Storytime!In this original story by the team at Little Kids, Big Hearts, we learn the origin of the Qook-a-lacka song healer, Quasnick, who we first met in our episode "Moving Time" when Quasnick helped kids create a song to help a Qook-a-lacka family cope with their big feelings around moving. In this story, Quasnick has practiced and practiced for the Great Qooka Sing, but loses the all-important songbook the day of the performance! Quasnick is poised to apologize and call it a night, but a young friend gives an important reminder: "You don't need the sheet music. I've heard you hum by the shoreline and in the store. I've seen you tap your feet in time with the sounds of the forest. Your songs are part of YOU!"Quasnick gets up on stage and creates an original song inspired by the words and feelings of the Qook-a-lackas in the crowd. The song becomes "Power of a Song," which we released earlier this week on our podcast ... AND the moment transformed Quasnick into the Song Healer of the Land of Qook-a-lackas. The Song Healer doesn't “fix” feelings but rather makes space for them, so all Qook-a-lackas and little Qook-a-leekies know that their hearts have a voice.The story is voiced by host Todd Loyd, Creative Producer Christy Pusz Decatur, and the original Song Healer, Benjamin Weiner!Thanks for joining us for Storytime!Visit us online (https://playsparkler.org/power-of-music/) or on our Youtube channel to learn more (https://www.youtube.com/@LittleKidsBigHearts).

What happens when the very thing that once lit you up feels out of reach—yet still lives deep in your soul, waiting to be reclaimed? In this episode, we sit down with Carla Sciaky, a lifelong musician, who opens up about her incredible journey from early musical brilliance to facing a dark night of the soul that transformed everything. Carla shares how her relationship with music shifted from pressure and perfectionism to something sacred—purpose-driven, healing, and deeply connected to Spirit. We explore how silence became her ally, how creativity cycles through light and shadow, and how music—far beyond just entertainment—has the power to change lives, starting with her own.From the science behind music's effect on the brain and body to its emotional influence on infants and elders alike, Carla offers a unique blend of personal story and universal truth. How does music shape our development? And what role can it play in reconnecting with who we truly are? Whether you're an artist, healer, or simply someone navigating your own transformation, Carla's wisdom will stir something in your soul. Tune in to remember the power of music—not just as a sound, but as a force for connection, healing, and coming home to yourself.Ways to Connect with Carla & her Music:https://www.carlasciaky.com/http://www.doorwaytoyourlife.com/Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n89CPWG4uELyric video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtQKKSbrEkgOrder an album on Carla's website: https://carlasciaky.com/index.html#storeP.S. A note from Carla: "It occurred to me to say that I really want other coaches, therapists, healers, etc., to feel free to use any of my songs in their work with clients, For example, my 12-step sponsor used to use my song “Awakening” (title song of my 1995 release) to do workshops and journaling exercises with recovering addicts. Putting on my musician/songwriter hat, I want to honor all musicians with the reminder that it is most respectful for anyone who puts our songs to use in this way to actually purchase either the individual cut or the album as a whole, and also to credit the songwriter, whoever it is. And at the same time, I would rather someone use it from YouTube or Spotify than not use it at all! I just want to mention that out of respect to all my fellow songwriters."About Carla Sciaky:Carla Sciaky has enjoyed over five decades in her career as a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, including a 2019 induction in the Colorado Music Hall of Fame with the group the Mother Folkers. Renowned for her clear articulate voice, strong fingerpicking style, and a warm intimacy with her audiences, she has toured the US and Europe, amassed a discography on Green Linnet and her own Propinquity labels, and was awarded awards and recognition for her songwriting in such arenas as the Kerrville New Song Competition, the Louisville (KY) songwriting competition, the Colorado Arts and Humanities Fellowship for Composition, and the Billboard Songwriting Competition. Her most recent solo album Heart of the Swan soared to the top of the folk radio charts upon its release in October 2024, and her music video “Standing by a River” has won multiple awards at film festivals worldwide in the categories of music video and songwriting. Carla has also performed on baroque violin as a core member of the Baroque Chamber Orchestra of Colorado and Sémplice Baroque, with Wyoming Baroque, Colorado Chamber Players and more. She lives with her husband Dan in Lakewood, Colorado, working as a published author and public speaker and with clients as a life coach through her practice Doorway to Your Life.Chapters00:00 Carla Sciaky's Musical Journey05:24 The Call Back to Music12:24 The Dark Night of the Soul17:32 Transforming the Creative Process25:54 The Impact of Music on People39:12 Music's Universal Language and Emotional Influence44:57 The Role of Silence in Creativity49:38 The Evolution of Music and Technology

Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason was born in Nottingham in 1999 into a big musical family. He and his six siblings all grew up learning classical instruments, and appeared on Britain's Got Talent in 2015. Sheku first made his mark as a solo performer the following year when he won the BBC Young Musician Of The Year competition. In 2018 a global audience of over a billion watched him perform live at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Since then he has received two classical Brit awards, An MBE for services to music, and performed at the Proms every year since 2017. His book The Power Of Music charts his creative journey, whilst his new album - his fifth release - includes recording of works by Shostakovich and Britten. Sheku talks to John Wilson about the early influence of his paternal grandfather, a classical music lover who encouraged an appreciation of chamber music, including Schubert's Trout Quintet. Sheku also discusses his cellist heroes Jacqueline du Pré and Mstislav Rostropovich and explains how the music of reggae superstar Bob Marley has been an inspiration throughout his life.Producer: Edwina Pitman

We've loved Robert Deeble for a long time around here. His brand of thoughtful alternative folk fit right in with artists like Over The Rhine, Vigilantes of Love, Innocence Mission, and Victoria Williams - and his side gig as a graphic artist lent a gorgeous visual perspective to all of his releases. His output has slowed over the last couple of decades as he became a successful psychologist and built a thriving practice in Oregon. So it was very good news indeed when we heard that he was about to release a new album - produced by Ric Hordinski no less! With many of us feeling more than a little on edge these days, we thought a touch-base with our favorite songsmith-turned-therapist was long overdue. In this special @45RPM episode of the show we focus on clips of JJT's full conversation with Robert. These bits focus on his new album - the beautiful collection entitled The Space Between Us that is currently seeking support via Kickstarter for a vinyl and CD release. And if you dig this, you can head over to OUR PATREON PAGE to hear the REST OF THE STORY! Patreon now allows a "free membership" - and it would be awesome if you would take a minute to sign up (for free) and take a listen. We will be posting more special content exclusively on that page (and even more on the paid side) from now on! And don't forget to head over to Kickstarter and back Robert's awesome project!  For full show notes visit TrueTunes.com/deeble

Topics this segment include the many partnerships that Jeffrey has forged with such music superstars as Billy Joel and Elton John to help create awareness of Doors of Change among the general public; some of the many “sustainable” services that Doors of Changes provides homeless teenagers beyond finding them shelter; and why the performing arts particularly resonates with “transitional age” (i.e., teenagers between the age of seventeen and twenty-four) homeless youth.

In this episode of The Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason and Matt sit down with the talented and inspiring Grant "Prezence" Ellman, a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and vocalist from Sedona, Arizona. Grant's music and activism embody a rare blend of soulful artistry and deep philosophical reflection. Known for his dedication to truth, freedom, and love, Grant's music challenges the status quo and spreads empowering messages that resonate with anyone seeking a better, freer world. Grant's 2021 track dismantling the COVID and government scams was censored from Spotify within just one week of release, further highlighting the uphill battle faced by artists who dare to challenge mainstream narratives. His self-produced music has graced events like Anarchapulco and The Greater Reset, and he's shared stages with icons like Steel Pulse, Tribal Seeds, and Mike Love. With influences ranging from modern reggae to dub pioneers, Grant has crafted a sound that's uniquely his own—blending deep messages with unforgettable melodies. In this conversation, we explore the troubling symbolism and toxic ideas found in much of mainstream music today—things like promoting materialism, treating women poorly, and glorifying violence. Grant shares his insights on why artists like Sam Smith lean into satanic and dark imagery and contrasts it with his own mission to inspire peace and love through his art. We also dive deep into the story of Ross Ulbricht, as Grant has been an outspoken advocate for Ross's freedom. He explains why this issue is so close to his heart and how artists can use their platform to amplify messages of justice and liberty. To top it off, Grant treats us to an incredible live performance of his song, “Taxation is Theft.” Trust us, you don't want to miss this—his lyrics and energy are as powerful as his philosophy. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who values music as a vehicle for truth and transformation. Tune in and let Grant's words and music inspire you to see the world—and its possibilities—in a whole new light.
