On Tuesday we were heartbroken to hear of the passing of our friend Linda Bolls. For many years with Bob McKee, and then with myself, Sean Kernan, Linda was a regular guest on WKEI. She represented the Kewanee Salvation Army on WKEI and was among those helping to promote the Angel Tree. She stepped away from the Salvation Army several years ago and helped get Eddie Tolliver into the position as her replacement. But retirement did not slow Linda Bolls down as she threw herself into volunteering. Her work as a volunteer in the community earned her statewide recognition after she was nominated for an award by Etta LaFlore and was honored by the governor. In what may have been her final appearance on WKEI, we talked to Linda alongside Etta LaFlora about her volunteer work and being honored by the state of Illinois. Thank you Linda Bolls for all you did for this community, you will never be forgotten.

Dave Clark joined WKEI for the latest edition of Kewanee Back When. Dave and Sean Kernan talked about what Thanksgiving in Kewanee was like 100 years ago, in 1920. It was, as you can imagine, a very different time with different stories and perspectives. Dave's research brought a new revelation about Kewanee's Presidential history and Sean was surprised about a community Thanksgiving meal that may come as a surprise to you as well as it does not involve Turkey.

The history of covering elections at WKEI, local, statewide and Presidential, are the subject of the latest edition of Kewanee Back When with Dave Clark and Sean Kernan. Dave shares memories of covering elections when so called election machines ruled the day with factions of Democrats and Republicans moving people to the polls and placing the radio station at the center of the election world on election night. Voting and Election Coverage of the past in the latest Kewanee Back When with Dave Clark and Sean Kernan.

On the latest edition of Kewanee Back When, Dave Clark joins Sean Kernan for a look at the history of the drive through in Kewanee. Specifically drive through food establishments. From Sandy's to Hardees to McDonalds and Taco Bell, fast food drive thrus, one could create a historic map of Kewanee by just naming the various names and locations of drive thru establishments in the history of the City of Kewanee. In fact, that's kind of what Dave and Sean do here, a mental map of Kewanee by the drive thru.

Pastor Jim Reynolds, with OSF Healthcare Grief Support, joined WKEI on Tuned In for a unique discussion of anger and grief. Anger, whether you realize it or not, is always a part of the grieving process. Whether that anger is turned internally or expressed outwardly towards others, expressing anger either appropriately or inappropriately, happens as part of the grieving process. Pastor Jim Reynolds talked with our Sean Kernan about how to cope with, understand and appropriately express anger in the midst of grief.

Kewanee Basketball coach and local businessman, Shaune Lewis passed away last week. Coach Lew was beloved by his players and deeply loved by his family. He was admired by everyone in the Kewanee community and known for his strong conviction and faith. Today on WKEI, our lead sports announcer Russ Hughes, joined Sean Kernan on the WKEI Morning Show to pay tribute to a Coach and a man who touched a lot of lives and will not soon be forgotten.

When asked what was the mission of Quora, Adam D'Angelo wrote a post explaining how the vast majority of human knowledge is trapped as experiences in people's heads and that is what Quora aims to bring to the general public – I don't know if it's incidental or rather influenced by it, I started The Takeaway Club™ for the same purpose – bringing interesting life experiences to the townhall for everyone to benefit from. But my Quora connection goes way beyond the shared mission of our respective platforms. I got introduced to the Quora platform way back when I was in high school and it has been one of my favorite platforms to date – a lot of what I know, and what I don't know – Quora bridged that gap one answer at a time. I've learned more about the ways of life or the laws of science and every topic under the sun from there more than any textbooks. With vivid stories and wonderful life lessons along with it, from teachers like GV, Balaji V, Deepak Mehta, to Samantha Kannan, Sean Kernan, it is less a Q&A platform and more an online school that would define my ideas, interests, and the kind of person I want to be. When Quora announced that it is going to bring in several regional languages into the platform including my mother tongue Tamil, I was incredibly happy – because out of all things, language should never be the obstacle that comes in the way of knowledge. Years later, I now have a chance to repay the wonderful community – by bringing its quality answers and amazing writers to the broader audience in a rapidly growing medium, podcasts. Listen to my chat with Selva Ganapathy, Head of Community, Quora Tamil on kickstarting an enlightening ‘Summer of Quora Tamil'.

For the first time in his illustrious career, Don McLean has entered the streaming world with ALL of his music available. As part of a partnership with Time Life and Warner Brothers, every Don McLean record dating back to his debut LP in 1969 has been uploaded on all of the major streaming services. Regional Media's Sean Kernan spoke with Don McLean about this new era of music, what he's been up to on YouTube and, of course, conversation turns to American Pie.

For more wonderful stories from Sean Kernan, visit him on Medium or Instagram.  I used to perform singing telegrams and comic roasts. When the economy went south in 2008, so did those gigs. I missed them so I wrote a one-woman show about my weird experiences at the gym, called Does This Happen to You at the Gym. I loved performing the show and telling those stories. This blossomed into my blog that was too short for a podcast. Since I’m a voice actor I came up with the idea of narrating stories I loved from other writers for my podcast. This podcast’s mission is to feature fantastic writers whose wonderful stories deserve to be heard in audio. And it feeds my love of telling funny stories about life and befuddlement and desire to give you a giggle for the week. You can subscribe to Does This Happen to You on YouTube and check out my written Does This Happen to You stories on Wordpress or Kris Keppeler on Medium.  Visit my website for my audiobook narration/production and voice-over work. You can hire me to narrate your book or your blog. Sign up here for my quarterly newsletter featuring the most downloaded episode of my podcast, and my latest Does This Happen to You adventures.

Full transcript below or directly on the website: https://www.myfluentpodcast.com/?p=878 Something to realize is that you don't have to speak. Perfectly. Now some people, you know your, your speech, maybe it's so bad that you can't be understood very well. So when you're talking, everyone has something like this and you know, people are just trying to hear what you're saying is, it's really hard to say. If it's something like that, then yes, it's very hard to understand it, but, but as long as you can understand them, that's what matters. This episode of my fluent podcast, again, is part of the Quora series. If you want to know in detail what the quarter series are. You can just head back to episode 48 and learn about all the details. In short, in the Quora series, I go about some texts, which I didn't write myself, but I'm going to read them out loud and give some feedback. The topics I choose are always language learning related so that we can improve in our target language. How do I speak clearly? Record yourself speaking. Then listen, you'll hear everything you need to know. Then adjust, rerecord and relisten. Repeat until satisfied. "Yes"*. Guess what? Yes. That's how you sound and yes, that's how people hear you. You hear yourself through your throat, not your ears. That is why you sound different on recordings. Warning: it's going to be painful. Listening to yourself, step into the fire, you will emerge far better than before. That's the answer from Sean Kernan, son of Quora, and I will say, to be honest, it was not that hard when I really listened to myself for the first time. I'd say that it is quite hard though to go back to episode one or just go back to one of my very first episodes and to relisten to my voice because it changed in a way, I think, while I guess that's a good thing. What about you guys? Do you like listening to your own voice? You think it's strange? Share your experience with us. Given that I have mentored many world champions, speakers and professional presenters, here is one solution to the problem. This is a technique I have followed for many years, especially when I had any VIP presentation. Or when I would compete for a national level championship. And this is also the technique I taught my students and clients during their important presentations. I make this mandatory for my clients taking part in the world championship events. Place a pencil in between your teeth, right to the end of your mouth and tighten your jaw grip on it. And then for the next 15 minutes, speak loudly. Clearly and enunciate your words for the best of your ability or read from a book really loudly and clearly. Keep doing this for 15 minutes nonstop. As you do this, your lips, your jaw, your tongue, and your cheeks will be sore, really sore. However, once you take it out, you will be shocked to see how well you articulate every single word. Try this every day for 15 minutes and you will never be the same speaker ever again. Great One* this was the answer from Lloyd Machado,  conference speakers, professional presenters here, that solution to the problem. Don't worry guys, I will spare you with that. I am not quite sure if this method really works, but according to all the boats, this answer received, which are about 19,000 I guess it's a good approach. Letting me know if you have experimented with this method and send me an email to myfluentpodcast@gmail.com. Thanks a lot, guys, for tuning in to this episode 65 of my fluently podcast. I know I did not reveal any magic bullet here, but in my opinion, we should start slowly and it is crucial to just focus on something and then stay with it on a regular basis. Have a good one.

Critic and podcast host Clint Worthington says, Upload, the new series debuting May 1st on Amazon Prime has potential, but it has a way to go to get to be the show it appears it wants to be. Clint talked with our critic, Sean Kernan, about the new series from the creators of The Office and Parks and Recreation. Upload is a satirical look at a technological afterlife controlled by greedy corporations and a hapless man in a loveless relationship caught up in that corporate afterlife. The show has a tricky tone that combines corporate satire, will-they-won't-they romance, and dark and irreverent humor regarding death. The show debuts today. Clint Worthington and I each offer our take on the quality of Upload in this IllinoisNewsNow.com Entertainment Podcast.

Do you feel confused about the dating game? You are not alone. Even though it seems like everyone is on some kind of dating app, teenagers and young adults are feeling lonelier than any previous generation and are having way less sex. There are many reasons behind this, but it just seems like many of us are dating for all the wrong reasons and can’t make up our minds about what we want. Dating apps and social media present us with an abundance of possible partners. How many of your matches on Tinder do you actually go on dates with? Do you ever think, “maybe I can find someone better if I just keep swiping?” It seems like the challenge in modern times, for many people, is not dishonesty, but decision-making.Call me old fashioned or naive, but for me, nothing will ever beat meeting someone in real life without knowing anything about them only to unravel the mystery. I have never had to go on a Tinder-date to know it is not for me, but I know that not everyone shares my opinion. I have made a few episodes about relationships before, but not one quite like this. I was lucky enough to get Sean Kernan, a top writer on Medium in Humor, Life, Business, Self-Improvement, Love, and Relationships to join me for a discussion on the state of online dating, common dating mistakes, toxic couple behaviors, and the ultimate first date question. He also shares some advice on what makes a good dating profile and how to recover from both breakups as well as bad dates.Sean’s articles on love and relationships have been featured in Inc, HuffPost, and Apple News just to name a few. Over the last couple of years, he has amassed over 260k followers on Quora and at the time of writing 374 million content views. Sean is a witty, honest, relatable, and personal writer sharing his own trials and tribulations, life lessons, and advice for our enjoyment, inspiration, and learning.LinksSean Kernan7 Surefire Ways to Die SingleDating Profiles are a Highlight Reel of Bad MarketingThe Ultimate First Date Question — And How to Answer ItQuora @sean-kernanMedium @seanjkernanInstagram @sean_kernanTwitter @seanjkernanAdam Gavinwww.adamgavin.comInstagram @adamgavinhello@adamgavin.com

What one thing has your career taught you for certain?Sean Kernan, Son of QuoraOver and over again, I see people in corner offices who, on paper, are of pretty mediocre intelligence.If they were pitted against you on an academic test, most of you smart Quorans would best them fairly easily.And you know what?It means nothing.The moment you step out of academia and into the office, nothing you did in school matters anymore.Your SAT score.Your board rankings.Your perfect grades.They evaporate. Gone. They were the price of entry.Being smart certainly matters. It helps.But the longer you spend in the business world, the less you'll see success manifesting itself as a product of smarts.You'll someday realize that it was always just a contest of who wanted it the most.

At what point in your life did everything start to make sense? Sean Kernan, Son of Quora Getting married. I finally understood why everyone said it was so hard. Every morning you wake up and go “Oh hey - it’s you again.” You get home from work and go “Oh hey - it’s you again.” Over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

Every morning you wake up and go “Oh hey - it's you again.” You get home from work and go “Oh hey - it's you again.”Over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

Over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over.All of a sudden I thought:Ah! This is why my parents used to fight all the time. It's sorta like candy corn. A few candy corns are good. Marriage feels like someone rammed 10,000 of them down your throat.ENOUGH WITH THIS DAMN CANDY CORN. BLEH.

What predicts success in life?Sean Kernan, Son of QuoraI had two childhood friends (brothers) who were very bright.We hung out on the same playground, they always were very witty and funny.They had the most interesting ideas. Just by the dynamic conversations we had, I knew they were smart.But when I asked them how they did each term in school, they shrugged, D's, C's.It made no sense. They were fully capable of great marks.Additionally, they frequently got into fights at school, spent time in detention, and seemed not to care.But, as an adult looking back now, I have much more clarity.When I went over to their house for sleepovers, or to just hang out, both of their parents would be reclining in the living room smoking cigarettes, watching TV.I don't recall their parents ever asking about homework, them cleaning their rooms, doing anything productive. The boys never had any sort of structure.The worst part: no repercussions for bad grades or misbehavior.It's baffling because what parent doesn't understand the importance of consequences? And these parents weren't an anomaly. There are so many like this in the world.Both of those boys are now grown.They both are high school dropouts.They both work dismal, menial, low wage jobs on the path to nowhere.It is quite unfortunate - because they, like many kids, were capable of so much more.I'd wager, one of the great predictors of success is having strong parents, who hold their kids to a standard, with a system of rules, rewards, punishments, encouragement, all with an undercurrent of love, to help that child be the best he or she can be.One of the greatest tragedies in life is that of wasted potential.

On today's episode of Deep Focus, host Tom Breen talks with Branford photographer Sean Kernan about CROW STORIES, his new documentary that offers a glimpse into the life, landscape, and culture of the Crow People, a Native American tribe concentrated in southern Montana. For the second segment, he's joined by Inner City News editor Babz Rawls-Ivy for a review of the new movie HIDDEN FIGURES.

My introduction to Sean Kernan and the breadth of his work was at a business conference sponsored by the American Society of Media Photographers almost a decade ago. Sean gave an inspiring talk about photography and showed images from his book, Among Trees. He then called everyone up to the front and asked for volunteers to do a movement exercise. I hesitated for a moment, then thought, I'm here to be uncomfortable and grow and threw myself into the mix. For the next few minutes Sean walked a group of us through a process of interactions that transformed my thinking about creativity and connections with other people. A few years later ASMP held another iteration of the conference and I went, almost exclusively, because Sean was presenting. Sean did not disappoint. When his most recent book, Looking into the Light: Creativity and the Photographer was published I was excited to see if it brought a similar energy and insight into the exploration of seeing. As with my previous experiences, Sean delivers the goods.Sean is not only a successful photographer, recognized for his work in both the commercial and exhibition art worlds. He has also worked in theater, written four books, produced and directed two documentaries, and taught at several universities as well as the esteemed Maine and Santa Fe Workshops.

Ever wondered what the actual practice models are for financial advisors? Today, I've invited Sean Kernan on the show to talk about the inside business of financial advice. Sean is a financial advisor who started his career at the large wirehouses and later transitioned to be independent.  Since then, he's started a website and podcast to help other advisors called "How to Go Independent." If you'd like to listen in on two financial advisors discussing what the industry is actually like on the inside, enjoy this show!
