Alison tries to commit to treatment at Twin Oaks, but keeps getting static from Terry, an NFL star in her group who thinks she's being resistant to the process. After she confronts him about his third-grade-calibre attention-seeking, he admits that there's something to it: he's lashing out because he's also sexually compulsive, and he's drawn to her. When Billy doesn't appear at a special meeting for Twin Oaks clients to thank the people who got them to seek treatment (because, unbeknownst to Alison, Susan never gave him her message), Alison sneaks out and gets wasted, but Terry is waiting when she finds her way back, and helps keep her from getting kicked out. Once Billy finds out about Susan, the love triangle loses a side...but maybe Terry would like to replace her? Michael is hung up on Jane after their one-night-stand, and since he won't take "get lost" for an answer, she redirects the roses he sends her to the beach house, complete with card. Kimberly gives Michael an ultimatum, and he chooses their family, just in time for "Michael Jr." to start running a terrible fever. Scared to have him admitted to the hospital and have to answer a bunch of questions, Kimberly tells Michael why: she bought him on the black market! But when Jo hears from Matt that the Mancini baby isn't well, she convinces Michael to test his DNA and confirm her parentage. Two couples are on the rocks: Sydney and Jake, because of the whole kidnapping thing; and Amanda and Peter, because he's too controlling. And with Matt and Jeffrey spending more and more time together, the former thinks it's time for them to consider moving in together, while the latter is -- you guessed it -- scared and weird about it.

Descending the mountainside Jack, Billy and Michelle keep an eye out for Blackbeard the pirate. The big pirate is spotted way ahead of them, but his approach means he has a cliff between him and the cars. It’s dangerous to go too quickly, even for our sure-footed heroes. When Billy loses his footing, a black beard spots them because of all the noise being made. The race is on, but it’s never safe to move to Hastily. Jack and Billy speculate that if Blackbeard finds the ring and maps, he won’t come back for his pirate friends. Instead, he'll head down the mountain, then on

www.moonoverthetrees.com/podcastwjharp.com“Things that we're doing now are going to be the tradition of tomorrow.”William Jackson is one of Scotland's most well respected and sought after performers and teachers of the Scottish harp. Billy's humor and graciousness are a constant as his fans from around the world will agree.Billy's musical journey started with classical piano at the age of 11 and when he became interested in traditional music he took up the mandolin. At 15 he started playing the double bass and bass guitar and joined the band Contraband in Glasgow.Who or what inspired you to play the harp?When Billy was in London he noticed a lever harp in the window of a store that piqued his interest. He had been listening to harpers Alan Stivell, Derek Bell, and Alison Kinnaird. He didn't buy that particular harp, but in 1975 he decided to sell his bass and buy a harp.He played harp, Uilleann Pipes and whistles with the band Ossian for fourteen years starting in 1976. A band that continues to inspire traditional musicians from around the world. Some refer to them as, “The Scottish Planxty”.Like any other instrument the harp is constantly being developed.“It's like a tree and it grows different branches.”Arranging tunes and playing the bouzoukiThe bouzouki has changed a lot. Tuning that's good for Scottish music. only been used in Irish and Scottish music since the 1960s. They work really well with traditional music. It uses open tuning. Like having a drone on the bagpipe with the melody over it. Dance music would not have been accompanied originally in traditional music. That whole sense of harmony has gone onto the harp. Often when playing dance music on the harp and in a lot of the old harp pieces as well, there is so much going on with the ornamentation and variations you actually don't have to do tons [with your accompaniment] anyway.” The melody often speaks for itself and the melody's always telling you what the harmony could be. Scottish tunes are hugely influenced by the Scottish Pipes.On Uilleann Pipes, you can actually block the chanter on your knee and close all the holes and you can actually make a silence, you can even switch the drones off.But, it's the melody that is the important thing. The drones can be continuous But the melody could have actual gaps or silences between the notes, so that's a different style.But, in the Scottish bagpipe to make the second note to make trebles and doubles, you have to use cuts and ornaments to make the rhythm because it's one long continuous sound there's no silence. So that is hugely influential in fiddle music and harp as well.A lot of the old harp music would have a simple melody and a whole series of variations. And that's kind of the form of the Scottish bagpipe, the Pibroch.You're always hugely influenced by every musician you've ever worked with.He is also a music therapist. We talked about how wonderful the harp is for sharing with others in therapy situations and how powerful music therapy can be. He is a multi instrumentalist who started his musical journey learning classical piano, then fiddle, and pipes, among other instruments. He also plays the bouzouki, an instrument in the lute family that is very popular in Greece. It gained popularity in Irish music in the 1960s where it has become a very common instrument to hear in Irish Sessions. Billy often tours and gives harp workshops with his wife, Grainne Hambly as The Masters of Celtic Harp. However during the Covid lockdowns of 2020 they are presenting concerts and workshops online.

This has come about because we know that our planet, and the biosphere are in crisis. We are intuitively recognising that our freedoms are being constantly eroded. Not only this, but mainstream media is either censoring by omission or only feeding us information that may not necessarily be true. Especially if espoused by the Government - who are elected to be our representatives, and expected to debate and clarify every point of view in an open forum so that both they, and we, are fully advised of all pros and cons. This interview tells of the emergence of the NZ Public Party and Advance NZ via social media, why so many people have been drawn to it, and illustrates a common thread that connects so many concerned citizens of today. Yes, there is a metaphysical strand passing right through this narrative and it all revolves around either control or freedom. Not freedom to do whatever we want to do, but in having ‘Freedom’ - we know that we have to be self-disciplined when given such an immense responsibility. This interview is about the soul of humanity and its impact on the soul of our civilisation.     The best way to understand this is by watching Robert F Kennedy Jr in Berlin 28 Aug 2020  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM7NLlWZD5I&feature=youtu.be Robert connects so many dots that it brings Billy’s focus into perspective. To such a degree that within the next 10 days Robert and Billy are going to engage in a live video discussion, together. START: In this interview I asked, Billy can you please start off with a little karakia - as prayer is important as it supports clear, good thought, correct statements, and right action. We talk of his wife Corrin and his three children, his Tamariki, and also of his surname Kahika being short for Kahikatea - this being the tallest native tree in New Zealand!  Taller than our mighty Kauri - As these trees can grow up to 60 metres high and given time - higher. So I say that he comes from a very important family tree, pun intended - or shall I say whakaapa. (laugh) He says it has many meanings - the expression to be a warrior and the expression of a leader - but quickly advises that he has no desire to be a politician or in Parliament and now he finds himself in front of a movement that he says is really not about being hungry or lustful for power - he at heart just wants to get on with his life, with his business, being a musician, having a little ministry with his wife and helping people. However these times that have come about now have compelled him to take a stand and air the concerns of many, many people of what we are seeing in relation to the behaviour of the present NZ Government. (but of previous Governments too. He says he stepped forward as he found that there was no-one in the political landscape articulating what was happening and this compelled him to make a stand, not knowing that it would lead to the formation of the NZ Public Party. Early Childhood Billy grew up as an ordinary kiwi Maori New Zealander living in South Auckland in a ‘state house’ with his beautiful Pakeha Mum and Maori Father. Saying that he never really wanted for anything yet did not have a lot either. He says many people are still highly skeptical of how he could come from obscurity to leading the fastest growing political movement in NZ. Something that has never been accomplished before. That it is all about the message, the timing and what needed to be expressed in the public arena. That a growing number of people have been in distress quietly thinking the same things but not having an outlet for their concerns, their thoughts and thinking. Some were upset, thinking that this lockdown situation that we are in - just could not be and Billy was able to amalgamate and aggregate people from across society that share the same concerns - and Billy was able to put a voice to it and unite it all and thus have such a message stream out across not only NZ but globally too. Because in his words - it is a true peoples message and a true peoples movement. The Status Quo do not like Billy calling out the ‘system’. As a result all the political parties, be it the major ones and the small independent ones in Billy’s words - hate what he is doing. Because he has noticed that NZ has been losing its sovereignty and independence over a long period of time.  (This subject will be dealt with at another time.) He tells of his COVID 19 experience and because as a family man on a little farm went into lockdown a week early, because he genuinely thought this the prudent thing to do with what information that he had at the time. However over this period he started to see cracks in the Government narrative. Listen - it is best hearing it from Billy direct. (It is only a 50 meg file - equivalent to 12 photographs). Because what he started to notice were incongruencies with what the authorities were talking about. Remember, he had had some experience as a military analyst and viewed information in a holistic way of thinking and as he said - he was seeing that these authorities had differing perspectives that as team players they did not add up to one coherent story. Contradiction in the Narrative. So being at home with more time on his hands he put a lot of effort into research and assessing the information and found too many contradictions to the degree that when during the course of the lockdown they deemed to say that there was the potential for people to be arrested and detained and face charges. He states that this changed the narrative - that we were dealing with a highly deadly disease - he says that we understand that if it was a highly lethal disease - everyone would happily lockdown. But, earlier on Billy had been hearing these other narratives from Stanford University in the USA and their Department of Epidemiology. This was headed by Professor John Ioannidis -  and Billy noted that this was from an exceptionally well-qualified Professor who had ‘broken ranks’ with the corporate, health and educational world. His detractors said he misled the public and the US Media in lockstep all condemned him - because one, ‘he was his own man’ - and two the media, and universities are all part of the one mindset and that they need to follow the same ‘controlled’ narrative. Because he said that Governments globally need to relax - that it’s an overreach - saying don’t panic and it is not going to be millions and millions of deaths - that it is going to be within the range of the annual seasonal loss due to bad influenza. This to Billy says is confirmed by the courageous Auckland University epidemiologist Dr. Simon Thornley who stated the prolonged lockdown is likely to cause greater harm than the virus to the nations long term health and well being, the social fabric, plus economy and education. Agenda21 and Agenda2030 So Billy took this all in and then studied the United Nations, which he had been doing for over 10 years and all of its many different agendas and realms and he had himself visited the UN and met Helen Clark when she was number 3 there and to cut this short - that Agenda21 and Agenda2030 were in his eyes, problematic - because those that have made an in-depth study, as well note the buzz worlds of sustainability and green initiatives and the very catchy phrases of due care and the future of children living in peace and harmony - something just did not click for him. NZ Prime Minister Commits NZ to Agenda21 & Agenda2030. But what spiked Billy’s focus was that last September at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in New York at a presentation called GoalKeepers - NZ’s PM Jacinda Ardern had made a public commitment to the audience that she was going to commit to the full implementation of these two Agendas right across NZ and yet she has not made this statement on the front page of the NZ Herald or the first news slot on TV ONE, or TV3 or the lead story at Radio NZ.  So there was one short story for overseas consumptions whilst the hobbits back home in the Shire in NZ learned of nothing but a quick news brief, on TV to the acclaimed silence of every NZ Member of Parliament to this day. Hence NZers' growing suspicion. You must remember Agenda21 was signed in Rio De Janeiro in Brazil in 1992 under the watchful eye of George Herbert Bush, US President, Ex Chief of the CIA. Billy maintains that these Agendas become a totalitarian agenda were without prior consultation with the community from the grassroots up, we are not being told what they are being implemented.  Because, it’s a top-down mechanism from the top of the pyramid to micromanage our planet - country by country, region by region, from villages, towns and cities that programme humans to be eventually asked, and ‘encouraged’ to shift from the rural sector into ‘smart cities.’  Yet this has not been discussed in town hall meetings across NZ or better still on a two hour TV slot with both TVOne and TV3 ‘simulcasting’ it to the whole country - calling on all citizens of NZ to tune into this nationwide debate and discussion as to what is Agenda21 and the best future possible for us, especially our children and grandchildren's future. Told to obey, and not encouraged to consciously participate? That our society would come under the aegis of protocols from above about where a human can live, breathe, drink, eat, watch etc. Would the United Nations declaration of human rights apply? But aligned with the World Economic Forum inclusive of the Fourth Industrial Revolution - humanity will be herded into smart cities wherein Auckland for example saturated in a cloud of escalating 5G wireless frequencies we would be drinking water piped in from the Waikato river - being only tested for 100 different chemicals whilst upstream the catchment area brings in 10’s of thousands of farm, factory and urban roadside chemicals. Would we be allowed to grow organic food in both the back and front yard of our homes? Or, if not allowed, does that mean having to eat factory food and industrial food - devoid of nutrition, vitamins, minerals and ‘life force?’ Cashless Digital Society to be implemented. In a cashless society which we are entering as you read - all transactions are tracked and everything is transparent. Agenda21 clarifies what we can and can not do with our land, what we can build, how we can build - what permissions needed.  How we educate our children, ‘medical sovereignty’ to make decisions for you and your family what water we can catch, or pump up from the ground. Billy maintains all of the above is entwined in Agenda21. Yet, there are also many concerned people, and plenty of lawyers and learned people currently in litigation against the UN’s rollout for this. Why the Secrecy of Agenda21 and Agenda2030. Why are our leaders not talking about this and then asking for feedback? Why does the community at a grassroots level know essentially nothing about this? (other than they are too busy surviving and keeping a job to learn more about this. etc etc. When Billy collated and pulled all this information together and then went on FB and called to all who wished to hear - it went viral and here we are today - with a rapidly growing educated population - connecting the dots and realizing that there are two narratives running. An overt one and a covert one. That when Billy started talking via social media - it went like wildfire - and people started sharing and liking and responding and NZers up and down the country realised that this was how they saw it too … and were ecstatic that someone had come out and courageous said it for what it is. That there have been over 2.5 million people on Facebook sharing, discussing organising and as of now there are 65 party candidates and the list is growing. The feedback to Billy, is that NZers - these being lawyers, doctors, media professionals - business owners - wealthy people, poor people - every level of society are very concerned with the secrecy of what is planned for the country. So today we are wanting to know about the Prime Minister's implementation of an Agenda that she has not gone to the NZ people to inform and appraise them of. He said that the AdvanceNZ team has been working on all the policies that need to happen - that they have very qualified people organising and overseeing what needs to be accomplished. Needing a New Constitution Personal Sovereignty as a God given right. Get our over priced housing under control - take an entrepreneurial approach to it - not a bureaucratic  approach. Address our everyday problems by encouraging ordinary people who see these challenges and address them and who are not groomed politicians - who are also not groomed to take the corporate line either … He mentions not only our PM, but also the Minister of Health and the Minister of Finance as working for another Agenda. There is so much in this interview for you dear reader, if you wish to know more you are encouraged to please download and listen. Yes it is long - but not as long as having to sit down and translate it word for word - believe me :)  ta - Tim Other Points The Government is closing down localism and grassroots endeavours - especially in the rural sector. Notice that they never mention organics and how we can become healthy. During COVID lockdown the PM did not encourage us to eat healthy non sugary food, drink good pure vital water (which you can not get out of the tap.) Were you encouraged during the first lockdown to grow your own food to become a little more sustainable and resilient as well as fit and being in sunlight?  No, because the current Government is in lockstep with corporate food giants who only want you to eat chemically sprayed factory food.  It would be no different if it was the National Government, they have been infiltrated with the neoliberal discourse as well. Because Labour is very engaged with centralisation of power out of Wellington, in wanting more Nationwide control. Then we have  Regional Control = Australia, Pacific islands and certain areas within South East Asia and then ... Full planetary control? Labour is going about this systematically. The National Party would also do the same - if in power. But, Billy states we have to have a strong middle class - and this is being eroded. What is stated here is that the Government is collapsing our economy and in doing so is racking up more debt, getting our country beholden to overseas bankers (who print money out of thin air) and so with the majority of Labour MPs not being business people and have not put their savings on the line -  they have no understanding of the challenges and risks of owning and running a business - and thus have very little connection to small business and the responsibilities, etc . Over reach by the Government? The COVID19 Public Health Response Bill. The NZ Govt states it is the only single source of Truth that we had the NZ Police use their Facebook page to say - exactly the same thing. The NZ Herald article last week stated NZ has now debt of over $800 billion from a population of 4.8 million people - and that we could be forced to sell off the NZ communities remaining few crown jewels - the Ports of Auckland and whatever percentage of the Airport we still own. We pay around $45 billion dollars in interest alone without paying off the principle - to keep our debts at bay. Covid has cost us $240 billion already. The internet censorship Bill that Tracy Martin of NZ First put through  - why did NZFirst want to do this?  The hate speech Bill has to be re-examined as well. That Chris Hipkins Minister of Health stated that action could be taken against people who spread lies and misinformation about Covid 19. Turkey and Switzerland  -  Switzerland followed the global lockdown and Turkey followed suit - but they kept the workforce at the jobs - that anyone 20 and under stayed home and 60 and over stayed home too. They were able to keep Turkey running at a high percent and both at risk groups were taken care of. When compared with the Swiss their statistics were comparable - but Turkey was able to keep their country running and not depend on loans, to bail them out.  Look at 6hr 25 mins onwards re covid statistics - very revealing https://youtu.be/cf_zWtdKKKQ   And Sweden - they went for herd immunity and after a very traumatic starts with a large amount of Covid health problems and deaths (the elderely)  - they have now gained herd immunity and the initiator of this unique process has been sent to work with Dr. Tedros of the WHO to shape them up. He went against consensus realitie’s buy into the fear and the course that Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates trumpeted and came out of this to end triumphantly. He said very early in the situation that essentially this covid was a very nasty winter flu and they have come out the other side and their economy is intact and taken not had to be bailed out by intentional banks etc - They did not buy into the Who and Its Ceo.. Billy Talks of a Trojan Horse and the  Bill of Rights in relation to a national emergency that the NZ Bill of Rights can be suspended. He states that should never be the case - because the elected politicians in Parliament are our elected representatives - to represent us - we the people. He also queried why John Key paid $15 million to the discredited Clinton Foundation and that Jacinda Ardern donated $ 5 million to them in what has been found out to be a ‘pay to play’ racket. What is the procedure and checks and balances to allow a PM to make contributions of NZ tax payers money to an overseas foundation. Who gives the ok? There is much in this interview when more questions could have been asked, but lack of time prevented this. Finally - when we set up this interview - Youtube generated a random number sequence. This is what we got back. What was even more interesting was that for the first time in my 17 years in radio I asked an interviewee to say a karakia - a prayer. https://youtu.be/9M6F2yJEsus www.AdvanceNZ.org https://www.nzpublicparty.org.nz/   Next week’s Interview ? We do not know. Have an enjoyable and insightful 7 days.

When Billy’s mother, Betty, was diagnosed with cancer he decided to return home to Massachusetts instead of leaving for his climbing trip to Nepal. Billy had just graduated from college in Colorado and the world was seemingly his oyster.  As his mother’s cancer worsened, those free-spirited experiences became less and less important and were ultimately replaced with grief after Betty tragically passed away from cancer in 1974.  After floundering a few years and wondering how to process the grief, Billy’s desire to “do something” continued to grow. He took action in 1980 by organizing the first Pan-Mass Challenge as a way to make sense of the grief and carry on the legacy of his mother.    The challenge would be to ride a bicycle across Massachusetts and raise money for the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Foundation. 36 people joined that first year and they raised $10,000. The PMC was born.  As founder and executive director of the Pan-Mass Challenge for over 40 years, Billy has grown the PMC into the largest single fundraising event in the country. To date, more than $700 million dollars has been raised, 6,000 riders participate every year with 4,000 volunteers and participation from 200 companies.  Find out more at pmc.org. Donate here. Register to ride virtually here. Dates are Aug 1-2, 2020. Instagram: @panmass   John Barrack’s PMC Ride link here

Finally the truth is revealed. When Billy and Travis are separated we find out why Billy’s father is so zoned in on his son. The same son he kicked out months earlier. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jonathan-lengel/support

Welcome to all of our Becoming Your Best podcast listeners wherever you might be in the world today. This is your host Steve Shallenberger. And we have a tremendously interesting guest today. Our guest is a successful business leader and has influenced many many people for good. Welcome to our show today, Tim Sanders. Tim: Hey great to be with you Steve. Steve: I've been looking forward to this. Tim: Me too. Steve: Well, good. All right. Now, before we get started, I'd like to tell you a little about Tim's background. He spent his early career on the cutting edge of innovation and change. He was an early stage member of Mark Cuban's Broadcast.com, which had the largest opening day IPO in history. After Yahoo acquired the company, Tim was tapped to lead their Value Lab, and by 2001 he rose to a Chief Solutions Officer. And today he's one of the top-rated speakers on the lecture circuit. Tim is also the author of four books including The New York Times best seller "Love is the Killer App," which is an awesome book, "How to Win Business and Influence Friends," I really enjoyed reading that. Tim's book has been featured in Fast Company, USA Today, The New York Times, Boston Globe, and so on. He is a master storyteller who offers his listeners actionable takeaways that produce results right away. So I have been looking forward to having Tim here in our interview today. And to get going, Tim, can you tell our listeners maybe a little about your background, your story? What was it like growing up? And maybe some experiences that helped you see that you could be successful? Tim: Thank you. I grew up in Clovis, New Mexico. It's a farming community just east of the West Texas border. I'm sorry, just west of the...West Texas border. And I was raised by my grandmother. I was a special education student from second to fifth grade, which really, you know, taught me a lot of things. It taught me how to bounce back. That's for sure. Taught me how to fit in when people didn't understand who I was. But most importantly, my childhood taught me that anything is possible if I'm willing to put the preparation work in and seize the opportunity. In my adult life I had a period of time, say 15 years or so, where I was gainfully employed and successful to some degree but just not laser-focused on what mattered. You might say I was in a mediocrity trap. In 1997, I went to work for Mark Cuban about a year after I had gotten out of that trap and had a real paradigm shift about what it was gonna take for me to be successful for my family. When I worked for Mark Cuban you can imagine 1997, the dawn of the internet explosion. It was such a breathtaking opportunity Steve. But I remember those times mostly as being a student of the game. Something I learned from him. And I was a voracious book reader. I was a mentor to anybody I did business with. And by 2001 after he'd sold the company to Yahoo, I became Yahoo's Chief Solutions Officer right after the dot-com crash of 2000. So my team and I went out to rebuild hundreds of millions of dollars of lost business because all of those companies, like eToys, our big advertisers, had gone caput. And through those experiences, I built up a perspective that if we commit ourselves to lifelong learning, and we lead with love in our hearts for other people and expect nothing in return other than that they improve and pay it forward, you can accomplish anything in this world we live in. Steve: Wow, what a rich background and then to be able to take that background and, like, Clovis, New Mexico? You mean you can be successful if you were born in Clovis, New Mexico? Tim: I'll tell you something. Let me tell you something about Clovis, New Mexico. Little town, 30,000 people. I was on the debate team in high school, Steve. And we wanted to be nationally ranked. Now, it was a real kind of a pork chop circuit, right. There was the Las Cruces tournament, the El Paso tournament, the Odessa tournament. We had to get in our cars and drive over two hours to Lubbock, Texas, to go to a decent library to research for our debate. And we had to compete with, you know, Houston's Bellaire and Dallas' St. Marks and all these great folks in New Mexico, and all the big schools from Albuquerque and Santa Fe. But I'll tell you something, my senior year, we won state championship, and we went to the national tournament, and we didn't have nearly the resources of anybody we competed with. But man, I gotta tell you, and I thank my coach for this, we had heart. Steve: Wow! Well, I'll tell you I can attest that people from the salt of the earth communities like this can have a big difference in the world. Tim: Yeah. And I think too Steve, is that there's something in our values raised in that environment that makes us really good connectors. And I also think it makes us hungrier to find some way to get back that edge. And to look for those invisible resources that are out there, like knowledge that can really give us a leg up. And it makes us wanna give back too when we become successful, you know, there's a natural, very deep set generosity. And I gotta tell you, I come from it very honestly. I mean, the patriarch of our family is my great-grandfather the late great Tommy King. And he was one of the founders of Clovis when it organized into a city back around it, you know, after the Great Depression. And he was a successful farmer. And one of the things he did before the Dust Bowl era, right before it, was he engaged with some agricultural technologist and became the first farmer in that part of the country to use a circular farming techniques, which when the Dust Bowl hit, helped his farms survive if not thrive while others withered away. And in our family, one of the most poignant stories about Tommy was how much he gave back to other farmers who were in crisis. The ones that bullheaded, they wouldn't try circular farming knowing that the science said there was something coming in a drought. He was happy to give them microloans. He never collected on them. He would just tell people, "When this happens in the future, you pay it forward." And I believe that his philosophy really represented, you know, small town America. Steve: Oh, that's a great story. And then to actually go from being a special ed student to being successful, that's got to give hope to special ed students anywhere because, you know, they're behind a gun. And so, is there hope? I mean, like, can we make it? Tim: It's tough. I mean, you know, more background here. So my grandmother raised me because my mother abandoned me when I was in four. And it manifest into tremendous depression when I was a little kid. And it exhibited itself in discipline issues. And during those days, Steve, they really didn't have much to do with a kid, you know, when you're seven. So, all they really can do is put you in special education. And that experience was really challenging because it's not just that you're taken out of school, that you're ostracized. And when you go to church you're treated differently because, you know, you go to the other school. And I picked up the nickname Shortbus, and I really didn't shake that nickname till junior high. But I think the thing that I got out of the whole situation is when they put me back into the general population in the sixth grade. I had to deal with bullies for the first time. You know, when you're different you're gonna deal with bullies. For parents, this is a great challenge when a child is singled out into a program like special ed or frankly like gifted for that matter. And I'll tell you, I think my point of view about how I dealt with that traumatic sixth and seventh-grade year had to do with how I felt about love. I'll give you a classic story. So, in the seventh grade, the day that you wear your nice clothes and your nice white shirt for the picture, you know, for the yearbook? Steve: Yup. Tim: I went in and this bully who went to church with us demanded my lunch money and I hesitated. So he punched me right in the nose and I bled all over my shirt. Not gory but I bled on my shirt. It ruined me for the picture that day. When Billy, my grandmother, came to pick me up, I thought she was gonna just, you know, have it out with that boy's mom, or at least give him a good talking to. So when Billy and I are sitting in the vice principal's office and we're alone for a second, she turns to me and she looks at me and she says, "You know the problem here is that you don't love those boys enough." I remember looking at her and I point at my shirt and I said, "What do you mean? He's mean. He's a mean boy." And she said, "In our family, you don't love people because of who they are. You love people because of who we are." And she goes, "That's gonna go a long way with you fitting in at the school." And so she said I should invite him over after church. Because she believed that people were inherently good and when they were mean, or when they were bad, there was something about the story that you don't know. And so he came over after church and stole some of my stuff and still kind of picked on me but he didn't punch me in the nose. And then I guess he felt the duty to invite me over to his house a few weeks later on the other side of the tracks where he lived. And when I visited his home that Sunday afternoon, I realized why he was a bully. His father, a drunk, swore at him coming in through the front door. His older brother whipped him with what, like a horse bridle, in front of me. Later, and I realized that this guy had been going through a lot more than I was. And that he was manifesting it. He was a big guy. He was manifesting it by picking on the only thing that he could get away with picking on, that's a little guy called Shortbus. And once I had that breakthrough, Steve, it really changed the way I thought about people. I truly began to understand that if we give someone our love and we care about them, whether it's on a personal level like this or on a professional level like say someone that I manage, you'd be surprised how many of their problems go away. And how you can convert a bully into a blocker. And I gotta say, that guy and I became good friends. And a little bit more than four years later, he put up posters for me when I successfully ran for senior class president and won. And I realized that for the rest of my life, I'm gonna go out into the market and love people because of who I am, and it's very easy to find things about them that are incredibly easy to love. And that I'm assuming when people don't give back, when they don't do the right thing, when they're mean spirited. I'm assuming that there's something about their story or struggle that I have no knowledge of. And it's made me a much deeper listener and a much more curious person in a good way. Steve: Well, that's a fantastic experience and thank you for sharing it. How grateful are we for the people in our backgrounds that help us grow and develop and overcome maybe some of the deficiencies that we might have that we may or even may not be aware of, that help us start becoming what we're capable of becoming. So that's really an inspirational story. And then love is so powerful and we may talk about it more after our interview but after...well, I was going through my college career I sold books back East. And one of the great books that I read was "The Greatest Salesman in the World", "About the Scrolls," and "I Will Greet This Day With Love In My Heart," and "How Will I Greet Those That Treat Me Poorly Love." And, oh, my goodness, you just fill this tremendous power that comes from it. So I'm so glad you shared that. Tim: Well, thank you. And I will tell you, there's real science or at least there is real psychological research behind this. And if you think about it, this is a manifestation of Maslow's hierarchy, right? Abraham Maslow studied something he called B-love, that is being love. That is a detached form of caring about another person, like I care about another person whether or not you care about me. I care about that person solely because I wanna help that person grow. I don't care about that person because I need a new friend. D-love, Maslow brought about this, a deficiency based love, says, "I need to be loved." So everything I do from being friendly to making, you know, advances, whatever you do to try to go out and help people, you're doing it to solve one of your problems. So, next we'll talk about the idea that when we feel fulfilled in terms of how much we think we're cared about, and that the way we think about love and other people, again, whether it's personal or professional, when we do that, we are making the leap to becoming like self-actualized, if you will. And that it's the most powerful way to think about loving other people because there's no anxiety in those relationships because you're not expecting anything in return. And that's what makes them so beautiful. And I found in my business life, that as a leader, as a manager, as a colleague, this works even more. Because, you know, we need people to encourage us at work. We need people to care about us as customers. And I believe too many people are just traders, transactionalists, and don't bring that Maslovian, you know, B-love to work every day. Steve: Okay. All right. Well, that's a powerful point of view and force in our work lives. Now talking about how to be successful in what we do in business, in our work, and in life generally, it does take work and effort and doing certain things that make a difference. So you shared earlier, that as we visited, that you had made a discovery in your mid-30s that led to ten promotions and helped you achieve a strong financial position and financial security. Can you talk a little about that? What was that? Tim: So this is like 1996, 1997. I had been coming back into my studentship, and I had gone from just need to know in terms of learning to being a voracious reader of books. And not just on stuff that mattered to my current job but anything that was adjacent to it. Anything that I thought was interesting to know in the future. I was at a point Steve, where I would read a book a week. I would burn through these books. I'm not talking novels either I'm talking about complex books in some situations. And what happened was I began to talk about different things with clients. So when I go to work for Cuban, I had this mentality kind of fed by Leo Buscaglia as love on one hand and Steven Covey on the other. I had this mentality that I'm gonna go out and I'm gonna promote other people's success during a time of great change. Because you know the internet was disrupting everything. So I worked a lot with the retailers. So I would go out and work with Neiman Marcus or Victoria's Secret or whomever. And I took it upon myself to learn everything I could about their business future and their business challenges, and then share that with them. And that's where I had the big aha. That if my business practice was to aggregate my intangibles, my knowledge, my network of relationships, my ability to care about people. If I build those up so I can give them away, and systematically help other people make the leap without expecting anything in return, that faith would repay me with endless referrals, a powerful brand, and a magnetic value proposition inside my company. Because I make decisions with Mark, I start to adopt the style. I was a sales person of service out in the community. We accomplished a lot of great things. He sells the company two years later to Yahoo if you remember back in those days. When I transfer out to the West Coast at Yahoo, I've really refined the system of building relationships by sharing my knowledge, and my network, and my compassion in every interaction. And it was like the doors swung wide open. Because now it's 2000, now it's right after the dot-com crash. This idea about helping people finds success during times of great change and expecting nothing in return. Boy, it worked crazy good in Silicon Valley and that's when I begin to train the young Yahoos on this philosophy and this set of values. And that's where I begin to write down the steps I was taking to really document you know how I read books and how I chose books, and why I read books instead of articles, and what I talked about when I was networking. And that's where "Love is The Killer App" came from a few years later. And since then, you know 15 years, I've been traveling around the world meeting people, comparing notes and really building upon that philosophy. Steve: Oh, that's great. And as we've talked about with our listeners the twelve principles of highly successful leaders, these are the things that are present across the board for high achievers. Also they were able to sustain, really, success over a long period of time, both personally and professionally. And one of those was applying the power of knowledge. In other words, gaining knowledge in the first place, and one of the primary ways is being a reader. And so this is a great reminder to every one of us listening here today of the power of reading good books on a regular basis because they're just totally stimulating, aren't they? They just fire... Tim: They are. Steve: ...your mind. Tim: And what I like about books is that books require you to take a deep dive into usually a narrow subject. And you don't just learn a couple of data points and one story, you learn a construct. It's got a thesis, and it's got supporting anecdotes, and it usually has research and it's really meaty. And you can deeply understand the topic so you can give it away, right? So the twist here Steve, is read good books but have a mix. And what I say about this is every third book you read, read for someone else's benefit. I call it prescriptive reading. Think about what... Steve: What's an example of that? Tim: Yeah. Think about information challenges that the people have and go study on their behalf because talk about expanding your resume. Steve: Right. It gives you a whole different perspective to maybe a different discipline. Tim: Absolutely. That's made a big difference for me. And that was another part of my turnaround in the late 1990s that really shifted me away from the idea that, you know, I read books to help myself. No, I read books to help the world, and sometimes it helped me too. And that philosophy will keep you from being too laser-focused on what's in front of you and not focused enough on what's coming in the future. Steve: Okay, great. That's a powerful influence on our success. And you told this wonderful experience that you had personally, this story about the bully and your grandmother saying, "Listen, we need to love him." Tim: That's right. Steve: See things from a different perspective. So you must have learned, Tim, somewhere along the line that love can be applied across the board, in business and as an entrepreneur. What have you found? Have you been able to make the jump of using that in your personal life to a professional life, and what's the experience? Tim: Yeah. I've made it my professional strategy, you know, for the last 20 years or so. I mean, when I say love in a professional sense, Steve, I mean, that I have a set of emotions about you. I care and I am now committed to promote your success by sharing my intangibles with you, my knowledge, my network, my compassion. I want you to think about, for those of you listening, I want you to think about the mentor in your life who's made the most difference to you. There's maybe one. There's maybe two. Maybe some of you might have three, but there's maybe one, right? And I want you to really think about how that person felt about you. And I want you to think about how open that person was to loving someone like you, not as a family but just as a person maybe at work or just a person maybe they did business with. I'm talking about unleashing the capacity to do this every day. I developed strong emotional aspect for almost every single person I do business with, and I don't make them earn it, Steve. It happens quick. Maybe I start out by liking him and I look for things that other people don't look for. I wanna hear their story so I can admire their values and understand their point of view. I find things that are familiar about them. I experience their passion so I can really understand what makes them a unique person. I think our capacity to care about people that work quickly and then maintain that over time. I think that is oxygen for leadership. Steve: Absolutely. That's so powerful. I mentioned the research that we've done for 40 years and these principles that are present, you're doing them? Tim: Well, you know, we're thinking alike buddy. Steve: We are thinking alike. I mean, one of those was living the golden rule, really exceptional leaders. I mean, you can have leaders that are good in different contexts but when you put these together, and exceptional leaders also one that really cares about people. And this is manifest in how they treat others, how they learn about others so that they can bring the best out within others. And this is what starts creating excellence, so great going on this. Tim: Thank you. Thank you so much, man. Steve: And by the way, Tim's book "Love is The Killer App." He talks about these three things, knowledge, networking, and compassion. Would you mind touching on the compassion part a little bit? And I'd like to go back to the networking because you said one thing that is important, and that is how a mentor maybe ought to perceive others with this love, learning what their story is? How do you bring out the best? And you'll find mentors that have done this the same way for you. So, how can you be a good mentor? That's one question. And then we'll hit this other one before we're done. Tim: Absolutely. So, the best way to be a mentor is to remember that the mentor is usually a benefactor, a teacher of sorts. And their job is to give the hero a gift that will enable the hero to make it to the next stage of her journey. When you think about Homer's Odyssey, with the character mentor, when you think about the archetype of mentorship stories in very modern culture, like, say, Star Wars, with, you know, Yoda, or with Karate Kid in Miyagi, that's what it's all about. It's about finding that person that has heroic qualities. That's going somewhere a little too fast. You've got a gift for them, maybe it's your personal experience. You've been where they've been. You have knowledge that they need and you give it to them. You expect nothing in return but that they apply that knowledge and learn and improve. All the mentors, they gain enthusiasm from the student learning. And when they need to, they go beyond just sharing information and perhaps make vital connections to create alliances, to help that hero deal with upcoming adversity. As a mentor I just want you to think a little bit like Yoda. And I want you to not really think so much like a person who's like a fire hose of information, a person who's gonna "Take somebody under their wing." I think you need to think about your role very transitionally. But most importantly, you need to expect nothing in return other than that they hero seizes the opportunity, right? I think that is what changes the game. And by the way, you know, I know you talk a lot about how to be successful over a long period of time. My philosophy that we give without expectation, this is not lip service, Steve. I literally expect them to pay it forward but I don't expect them to pay it back. And I'm telling you that is liberating, because when I meet leaders who were generous for years and years and years and then they "Burned out." This is why they got burned out. Because just enough people didn't pay them back or give them credit or whatever their reciprocity was supposed to be and they were disappointed. And I call it ego economics. And it sets in on a lot of people in their career. Super generous in their 30s, a little bit jaded in their 40s, super protected in their 50s. I'm 55 years old, I've never been more generous because I'm not disappointed in people. And I think that's what comes with being detached about what you get back. Steve: Oh, great. You know that's great. I think even the savior of mankind, Jesus Christ, if you...regardless of what you believe, as it was described when he healed the lepers, and he had one return and thanked him. Nine did not. And if your expectation is that people are gonna thank you, you're probably gonna be somewhat disappointed. Tim: Absolutely. You will. Steve: If that's your expectation. Tim: And it's interesting. So, you know, I love that story and I appreciate that example. I think that, for us, the secret to a long-term career is a very flexible perspective. And I think that if we're willing to go against the grain that there's a quid pro quo. I think we really open up our opportunities in life. You just continue to be great until the day we die. Steve: Wonderful. What a refreshing wonderful perspective. I had a friend, Tim, that I had lunch with last week. He is a facilitator for a very successful training company. He has been, really most of his career 30 years, he's gone all over the world. And one of the things he talked about was precisely this, is that his observation is one of the keys for companies to get ahead today to be able to be a best in class, be the best in their industry, is to have active healthy coaching program within the company where people are able to coach each other. And I think it's really these type of qualities you're talking that would help that be successful. Tim: Absolutely. And for leaders, whether it's a small business or an enterprise, you can create a culture of coaching. So even if there's not a funded program per se, it can be the habit inside that organization. So Tom Ward was brought into Barton protective in Atlanta to turn that company around several years ago and he created that culture. He had something called Vision Quest. These values cards everybody carried with them. It was a huge part of the cadence that he had in that company. And the third value was love. "Do you care about me as a person?" He hired based on it. He rewarded based on it. He promoted or did not promote based on it. It made a big deal to how people behaved, because culture at work, culture at work is a conversation that's led by leaders about how we do things here. And that's like software that runs a company, right? So, when you as a leader go to work and say, "We coach other people because of who we are as a company," then the habit sets in. And it's very attractive, Steve, to today's millennial, to have a reputation for a company where we bring each other up as opposed to where we internally compete. So I just want everybody listening to know this is within your power. And you don't need a big checkbook, but you do need to have consistent cadence because you need to manage that conversation about how we do things here successfully. Steve: Yeah, absolutely. Well, I am, like, speechless that we are out of time. I can't believe it. Tim: It goes that quick, man. It goes that quick. Steve: It has been fast today. Now, any...what's one last bit of advice, or any tips you would like to give our listeners before we wrap it up today. It's been fun Tim. Tim: Hey, it's been fun buddy. So I'll tell you a place where you can get some stuff about me, but before that, I'll just give you one of my...it's kind of my new little piece of advice I like to give people. And I can't say that I came up with it but I can tell you I'm championing this idea. If you want to be a happier person in, life in traffic and in work, the next time somebody irritates you, does something that is seemingly rude to you, I want you to assume that that person is operating under the best intentions. I want you to assume that you don't know the whole story. Because more often than not, Steve, people are operating under the best intentions. It's just that their needs clash with our needs. And we spend a lot of our time judging those people instead of inquiring about the rest of the story. So like I said, next time somebody cuts you off in traffic, you might wanna consider that she's trying to get somebody to the hospital before you honk your horn and shake your fist. And this goes double for you as business owners and leaders. Steve: Oh, that's great advice. I hope I can get this right. This comes from an article I read yesterday and it really left a deep impression on me. It was given by the leader of a worldwide organization, a humanitarian service organization. And the fellow talked about 50 years ago, he had a mentor. And the mentor said, "Every time you meet somebody, if you'll say to yourself this person is dealing with a serious challenge," he said, "You're gonna be right 50% of the time." Tim: And guess what? Before, when you just reacted and judged that person, you were wrong 50% of the time. Steve: Exactly. Well, he said, "Man I thought my teacher, my professor was a pessimist," he said, "But I have come to learn what wise advice that was." Because indeed as we look around what's going on in the world, it is often true. And I love your comment that half the time we're wrong. So let's give everybody a lot of slack here, right? Tim: On that, you know, again, yeah, let's put our self in another person's shoes. And let's find out more. You can learn and grow so much more. You can expand your thrive so much more. And, again, you can just avoid those regrettable mistakes we all make. Steve: Yup. Well, these are some great things that we can do to make a difference, to lift others, to build others. Tim has done a great job in sharing these. What a tremendous background. And, Tim, if you'll share how our listeners can learn more about what you're doing, and which is tremendous? We'd love to hear about it. Tim: Absolutely. We've set up a special page for your listeners, Steve. It is timsanders.com/byb. That's timsanders.com/byb. I'll have a huge download excerpt of Love is The Killer App for you to read. I'll also have a way you can connect with me on LinkedIn, and find other resources like videos and other such content on my site. Steve: Well, that's terrific. Thank you Tim Sanders for being part of this show today. This has been enlightening. It's been wonderful. Tim: Oh, absolutely. It's been a pleasure Steve. I really enjoyed it. Steve: Well, you bet. We wish you all the best as you're making a difference in the world as well Tim. Tim: Thank you. Steve: And to all of our listeners, never forget, you are creating a ripple that can never be counted for good as we do the right things, good things. And they do make a difference. They lift our own lives and they lift others. And they help us be more successful, happier and have fuller lives. I'm Steve Shellenberger with Becoming Your Best Global Leadership wishing you a great day. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Stroke Survivor, Cyclist, AND U.S. Paralympian. When Billy was 15 years old he was diagnosed with a rare and life threatening brain abnormality that required surgery. Doctors mentioned to Billy that a stroke could be a side effect of my surgery and two short years later, at the age 17, he suffered from a stroke. The stroke was unique in that it was a slow and regressive process. Every morning he woke up with a new symptom. One day it was not being able to tie his shoes, or brush his teeth, and eventually he couldn’t walk. Doctors couldn't say if the stroke was going to stop or what physical condition he would be left in. After four weeks of symptoms it stopped and left him with his full left side neurologically paralyzed. His full and active life changed right there in that moment. In 2011 Billy got on a bike while attending a Para-triathlon camp. He decided to dedicate his life to training as a cyclist for the Paralympics. In July of 2016, he secured the top overall spot among male two wheel upright cyclists, and grabbed his ticket to Rio de Janeiro. Billy competed in three events during the 2016 Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro—two on a track and one on the road. He aspires to be a four-time Paralympian, competing not only in 2020 but also in 2024 and 2028 and believes that this stroke has been a gift in his life to enable him to be stronger than he ever imagined.

In this episode, Danny accuses Chris of being patriotic and owning American flag boxers. They describe in detail what producer Tony is wearing and make fun of the fact that he is reading a book about television and radio that was published in the 1960s. Enter Paul Provenza and Billy Connolly. An interviewer once asked Billy if he’d ever been to a psychologist and if so, what he told him. She criticized him saying that the “Scottish way” of dealing with your problems is to go to the pub and vent to your friends, not to see a psychiatrist. Danny once put up signs around his neighborhood advertising a tag sale at the house of someone he was angry at. A former intern that Chris slept with posted his phone number on the “casual encounters” section on Craigslist.com telling people to text pictures of their penises to his phone. They were much bigger than his. Danny and Billy agree that when you first get a new idea for a joke, it’s way funnier to you than to anyone else. Billy offers Danny a piece of advice: don’t go to comedy shows, go see rock and roll shows instead. When Billy asks why comedians don’t dress up anymore, Chris angrily responds that clubs don’t pay them enough to dress up. That, and Chris doesn’t own any nice clothes.

When Billy’s mother, Betty, was diagnosed with cancer he decided to return home to Massachusetts instead of leaving for his climbing trip to Nepal. Billy had just graduated from college in Colorado and the world was seemingly his oyster. As his mother’s cancer worsened, those free-spirited experiences became less and less important and were ultimately replaced with grief after Betty tragically passed away from cancer in 1974. After floundering a few years and wondering how to process the grief, Billy’s desire to “do something” continued to grow. He took action in 1980 by organizing the first Pan-Mass Challenge as a way to make sense of the grief and carry on the legacy of his mother. The challenge would be to ride a bicycle across Massachusetts and raise money for the Jimmy Fund ( http://www.jimmyfund.org/ ) and Dana-Farber Foundation ( https://danafarber.jimmyfund.org/site/SPageServer/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvduK0pXS6gIVzZyzCh0p8AcJEAAYASAAEgJjmvD_BwE&pagename=agda_danafarber_cancer_donation2&s_src=AGDA101419AA&s_subsrc=AGDA101419AA&utm_campaign=AGDA101419AA&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google ). 36 people joined that first year and they raised $10,000. The PMC was born. As founder and executive director of the Pan-Mass Challenge for over 40 years, Billy has grown the PMC into the largest single fundraising event in the country. To date, more than $700 million dollars has been raised, 6,000 riders participate every year with 4,000 volunteers, and participation from 200 companies.
