If you are considering moving to New Zealand from the US then you will love this week's show. Two weeks ago, our guests found themselves leaving America for good to start a new life down under. And it wasn't easy for them. Moving away from family, selling your home and giving away possessions all comes with a big emotional price tag.   Would You Like To Join Our Private New Zealand Community?

SIGN UP NOW!   Leaving America For Good In this week's show, we talk to Maile and Brian, a couple from Vermont in the USA. Their story is like something out of a movie. Brian and Maile met at high school. They were friends for some years but drifted apart when their careers took different paths. Maile trained to be a nurse and Brian worked in IT account management. The couple had no contact for twenty years. And then out of the blue, Maile received a Facebook request from Bryan. Which she accepted. Phew.  Maile was working as a travel nurse but Bryan was experiencing some major life challenges (he called it a midlife crisis). This midlife crisis drove him to New Zealand. For three months.  Unbeknown to Bryan, Maile also held a flame for New Zealand. When Bryan returned to America the two spent more and more time together and decided that they would love to return to New Zealand. Together.   Moving To New Zealand  Bryan and Maile began to plan. They researched everything they could about moving to New Zealand. They compared the cost of living in New Zealand vs the US, thought about where they would live (which island was the best, the North or the South Island?). They even brushed up on some New Zealand slang. But watching YouTube videos and asking questions on Facebook wasn't enough for Maile and Bryan. They needed support. Some inside information. They wanted friends who were going through the same challenges and emotional upheaval as they were. And they found it. When they signed up for the FREE 5-day life in New Zealand video guide and then went on to invest in the New Zealand Calling Ultimate Package.    Living in New Zealand Which brings us to now!  Bryan and Maile have been living in New Zealand for a grand total of ten days.

Excerpt from The Falcon and the Owl Bryan Calvert straightened from his work, then leaned backwards to ease the kink in his back. The tundra tires on his Cessna 180 had been overdue for replacement and blowing a tire during a landing at the Clinton County field he used as a landing strip would be a rotten way to start his weekend at the cabin.  He glanced at his watch: nine forty-five.  “Eight hours bottle to throttle,” he said, and tipped back the last two inches of his second bottle of beer. That put him right for a six o’clock departure the next morning. He had worked the last of the wing jack legs out of its base when he heard the sound of a vehicle approaching fast, then a spray of gravel hitting the side of the hangar as the vehicle came to a halt. He hefted the heavy metal jack leg in his hand and walked quickly to the hangar’s window. There wasn’t much violent crime in Avondale Township, Pennsylvania, but there was a first time for everything. He looked out the window and saw Hal Burridge climbing unsteadily out of his Honda Ridgeline pickup. “Shit,” he muttered under his breath and laid the jack leg on the workbench next to the collection of other tools and equipment he had been using: tire talc, air chuck, pry bar, ratchet wrench. The hangar door banged open and Hal staggered in. Bryan was struck by the change the last year had wrought in Hal. He had always been thin, but now he was gaunt, his skin stretched too tight over his cheekbones but beginning to hang loose at his neck. When Bryan had first met Hal, he would have guessed his age a decade too low. Now he looked far older than his fifty years. “What the hell?” Bryan said, exasperated. “If you’re going to drive drunk, at least drive slow.” “What do you care?” Hal’s words were slurred. He put a hand out and steadied himself on the doorframe. Bryan tried to swallow down his frustration. “Come on, Hal,

EPISODE 216I Today's guest is https://bryanlitfin.com/ (Bryan Litfin), author of the brand new novel, https://amzn.to/3j4GVJn (The Conqueror), an action adventure story set in the time of Constantine in the third century. When Bryan wrote that he wants to write books with the action and adventure of the Indiana Jones movies, I was hooked - I had to interview him. What follows is a fun and informative jaunt through history, research, plotting, and writing that will get you itching to get back to your own book. This is a fantastic interview with lots of energy and ideas for making the stories you love to write larger than life. You can find Bryan and his books on his website, https://bryanlitfin.com/ (https://bryanlitfin.com/).

When Bryan was asked to do this interview he said "Sherri what do I have to talk about?" Well as we began the interview we found that Bryan had lots to talk about and share with others. Bryan was raised by a single mother and met his father in his teens. He has had the opportunity to live in Bermuda and the U.S. Bryan is married and has 3 beautiful daughters. He has a fear of heights but works for a company that puts up billboards on the highway and in stadiums. He found out at 29 years old he had colon cancer which is normally a cancer found in older persons. Hmmmm I think he has plenty to talk about.⁣ ⁣ Bryan told us how he got through some of the trials and tribulations that came at him in those areas mentioned above. He discussed how there are no excuses and no fears and how you can't let any situation make you loose. Bryan is a father, husband and entrepreneur and you will gather inspiration and motivation through his narrative on this episode of No Excuses and No Fear.⁣ ⁣ Instagram - @dettmahhfahhka⁣ Business - https://www.facebook.com/APBLIVE/ Email - givinghed@gmail.com Instagram - @givingh.e.d

Dartmouth College professors Half Zantop and Susanne Zantop were hanging out at home, waiting for their friend to arrive for dinner, when two boys showed up at their door. The boys said they were working on a school project. Could they ask Half a few questions? Half obliged. He’d devoted his life to academics. Of course he would help 16 year old James Parker and 17 year old Robert Tulloch. But James and Rob weren’t there for a school project. In fact, there was no school project. Then, Kristin talks about a phlebotomist named Bryan Stewart. When Bryan and Jennifer Jackson first got together, things were great. But Bryan quickly became abusive. When Jennifer left Bryan, his threats escalated. The thought of paying child support for their infant son enraged him. He promised Jennifer that their son, Brryan Jackson, wouldn’t live to the age of five. Around that same time, Bryan “joked” with coworkers that as a phlebotomist, he could inject his enemies with disease-tainted blood, and they’d never know what hit them.  And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “Brryan Jackson: My father injected me with HIV” by Lucy Hancock, for BBC News “A positive life: How a son survived being injected with HIV by his father,” by Justin Heckert for GQ Magazine “Man accused of injecting H.I.V. in son,” by Jo Thomas for the New York Times “Mother testifies that defendant hinted at son’s death,” CNN “Brian Stewart (phlebotomist)” Wikipedia entry In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “The Dartmouth Murders” by Denise Noe, The Crime Library “Hearts of Darkness” by Alex Tresniowski, People Magazine “Dartmouth professors’ murderer to get new sentence” by Peter Schworm and John R. Ellement, The Boston Globe “Man convicted in 2001 murders of professors asks for early release” by Elliot Zornitsky, The Dartmouth “2001 Dartmouth College murders” wikipedia.org          

Today I brought on my two friends, Bryan and Stephanie Dulaney. We talk about their business, the crazy story about how they met and so much more! When Bryan was in college he survived a near death experience that left him in a coma that doctors say he should never have woken up from. Bryan then turns this story into such an inspiring one by listening to the small promptings that came after that to make some big changes in his life.  I loved hearing Bryan talk about how he took something so devastating and turned it into what he has now. In this podcast we also cover: - Stephanie's pregnancy  - How to listen to "the signs" the universe is giving you to help you fulfill your total potential  - How Stephanie sent Bryan an instagram message that ended up with her spontaneously flying to Hawaii to meet Bryan for the first time - Tools for communicating if you and your partner are running a business together   ... and so much more!    Hope you love it!   xoxo,  Natalie

It’s 'Our Place’, to do our thing. Kiwis can put quality-made programmes up on the site. He says it asks of Kiwis “What are you going to DO with this new resource? You can MAKE things with this. You don’t have to ask permission” . At 6.24, Bryan explains the problem with our current NZ media: a producer has to go through the gateways of the commercial television channels who really are trying to assess your programme on the one question of : “How big an audience can you bring to the commercial gaps?”. It has always been thus. And if you’re good at that, then they will buy your next programme. It’s not about how good a programme is, it’s about what kind of audience? and how big will it be? to cater to the advertisers in the commercial gaps - and it all comes down to producing money instead of quality. At 7.16, Bryan says the main channels are going to self-edit. They re not going to take a programme that is not going to fit well with their sponsors. The other side of it is we tend to think of government- funded broadcasters as being more independent, but that is not true either, because they are not going ‘to bite the hand that feeds them’ and stand up to their government money-source. If mainstream media gets money from a business, then that piper calls the tune. At 7.46, Bryan explains that the idea for this came up about 3 years ago when he walked out of TVNZ one day having had it explained to him that his programme on health was probably going to get lots of ratings but “Really we’re not necessarily into the business of doing programmes in the public good. They have to be commercial because we might sell ourselves off one day” . Bryan walked out of that building and thought: “ Well, if these guys aren’t going to do NZ public television, maybe I can.”. Bryan registered a company called ‘NZ Public Television Ltd”, and he talked to friends: “ If you were starting television today, you wouldn’t do it in the way that the BBC told us how to do it all those years ago - no big dishes, sky satellites, large building. How would we do it today ?” At 8.43, he says the answer is clear: we’d use the World Wide Web. And how would we put our programmes up? When Bryan talked to servers , they had gleeful visions of making lots of money out of this being a version of Netflix. But Bryan instead saw it as a bus station. You, the viewer, come to NZPTV to be pointed in the right direction of a programme that someone else is hosting on Vimeo or YouTube or other sites. So NZPTV is a curator of quality programmes with NZ content. And at 9.13 he says the producers and their websites - the people who own the copyright to their own work- will be acknowledged . At the same time, NZPTV will also make its own programmes and put those up on NZPTV Vimeo and direct viewers to that content also. So Vimeo might be the host of a programme but NZPTV will direct traffic there. At its core, the aim is to work out how to make cost-effective television and then also make it a People’s Channel which says - Look , you might see Bryan Bruce or others doing an introduction but it’s not his channel, it’s OUR channel. NZPTV will also help producers. Bryan says he has been to see NZ on Air and asked how many eyeballs a week does NZPTV need for independent producers to be able to be funded to make and put their programme up on this new platform. “ They couldn’t tell me” he says. At 10.07, he says “ This is a new world for them !” NZ on Air don’t know what the numbers might be so NZPTV will educate them on what the numbers CAN be. At 11.30, Bryan talks of his own motivations in programme making: “ What I try to do in a programme is say “ Here’s a problem. How did we get to this? Let’s unpack it a bit and look at some solutions”. That’s where hope arises - rather than leave people in a dark place with overwhelming negative story-telling “ When he made ‘The Investigator’, each case involved some element of The Law that needed further examination - for example- David Tamihere was identified while wearing handcuffs outside the courtroom . Was this a correct identification? And what are the rules for identifying someone? The Defence said this was unfair. The Court allowed it- so now there are new rules that apply to each of us. At 13.20 Bryan says when making a programme it’s important that you’re not just doing ti because ‘crime rates’. Why are you upsetting people and going through all of this misery again for the families that were involved for no good reason? At 13.39 Bryan says he encourages producers to ask ‘Why am I making this? What is the outcome I want to have from it?”. At 14.41 he says the question we all need to ask is “ Who owns the media now? Who owns the way that our attitudes and our opinions and our thoughts about life are formed?” . The Big Questions to ask are “ Who -How-What -Where- Why”. He says those questions are often not being asked in journalism today. “ It worries me. I watch reporters ask very simple questions - even , are you having a nice day ?”. At 16.14 he says he sees Free Media and True Democracy as connected . At the start of the last century, the total number of people you could address verbally was on a street corner through megaphone. But the end of the 20th Century, you could address the whole world through the various media and now with the internet, you can reach places that don’t even have broadcast facilities but have telephone lines. At 17.01, he says “ If you can control the means of talking to people, whether for your private ends or for the government’s ends, that’s a lot of power. That’s actually a means of accumulating power. And now what NZPTV does is give the power BACK to the People and says “ YOU are in control of the stories” . At 19.05 he says this is a Wake Up. it’s more than just a channel. “ We’ll grow as much as the People want to do it. My call is out to independent producers. Our gateway is much wider than any of the public or private broadcasters. You can come to us with a programme provided that it is professionally made , something you might see on a commercial channel in terms of its quality of production. For example, if you have made a programme about the TPPA or Water Issues, and you’ve done your homework and kept to the Broadcasting Standards Authority issues of fairness and balance . At 21.04 he explains balance in the context of his programme 'Jesus, the Cold Case' which was criticised because Bryan talked to certain theologians but not others. He says that the ‘balance’ is that, on any given day, a viewer can turn to the Christian channels and hear the opposite view. It’s equally so for NZPTV, which would make sure that, with a controversial programme, then somewhere there is the counter view shown, or NZPTV itself would run the counter view so the viewer could see both sides. At 22.00 he says that it’s not true to say there are NO editing gateways to go through, but they relate more to the legal ones- you cannot defame people , and if it’s an argument for one viewpoint, it must be well though out , or if it’s science-based, it must be peer -reviewed. But at 22.19, he says NZPTV is not going to say to a producer “ It doesn’t quite fit with our sponsors” (because there are no sponsors of the channel)- or “It doesn’t quite fit with our ‘brand’ “ (which is commonly heard in Mainstream Media ). In fact The NZPTV ‘Brand’ is Independence ! “ If it fits with that, we should have it “. At 23.23 Bryan underlines that “ If we don’t hold on to life rafts like this , we’re all going to drown”. At 24.19, he says public education has taught questioning and yet we have a media that tried to manipulate popped who are actually very intelligent . “ I’m always amazed at the wisdom that comes out of people from whom, at face value, you wouldn’t assume that wisdom”. At 24.50, he gives an anecdote from a programme he made called “Stand By Your Man’ about three women whose partners had committed major crimes. “ And she said “ They never fixed his drug and alcohol addiction - and that was his problem” And you’re just about to move from this interviewee, when suddenly they come out with this absolutely insightful gem about what we’re NOT doing for men or women in prison. We’re not addressing the issues that have led to them being IN there!” At 27.55 Bryan outlines that one of the ways that governments gain power over us is: if they don’t collect data on, for example, how much Chinese money is coming in to the country, then they can pretend it isn’t a problem. No one knows! “ Oh”, they say “ it’s all just anecdotal. You’re just bashing the Chinese”. Bryan says "NO! I’m saying: let’s collect the data! You’re giving away visas to very wealthy people - gold visas. If you have ten million you can buy a residency in our country . But what are these people DOING for our country ? And where is that money going ?”. And the answer comes back from the government: “I’m sorry we don’t know because we don’t follow the money trail” . At 29.10, Bryan suggests that one of the roles for NZPTV is to encourage independent producers to pick a topic, investigate it, and bring us the data that the government is not collecting because it’s' inconvenient ‘. “ The last thing that governments want is inconvenient truths”. At 29.58 he says that if you DO your homework and collate the data, then policy changes” . At 30.23 he talks of the effect of his programme ‘Inside Child Poverty” which went out on TV3 the week of the election in 2011. "There was a debate about whether it should have been screened in election week, driven by right wing commentators like Sean Plunkett who said Bryan Bruce should not be funded to make programmes like this! Then a marvellous thing happened. The National Government which had initially said “ This is made up by a left wing journalist”, then started to change its tune and admitted “ Well it might exist but we can’t measure it”. Then the Children’s Commissioner Russell Wills said “ Ok, I’ll get a group off academics together and we WILL measure it” They put out an amazing report. It could not be ignored any more. The word “child poverty’ became part of our vernacular. And by the NEXT election it was an election issue” . So Bryan uses this example to say that this is what we can do as media people: we can investigate, we can collate data, we can inspire people. He credits The Child Poverty Action Group with inspired him to make the programme . He says they had been doing their work for years and he thought “ Well maybe I have few skills in terms of taking complicated things and trying to make them understandable - and that was my role. Something like 580 thousand Kiwis watched that programme and then the Public started asking questions. I had offered the programme to TVNZ and I seem to remember someone saying “ Who’s going to watch a programme with ‘Poverty’ in the title?” ( and 580,000 viewers is up there with All Black fixture numbers in terms of ratings ) “ . At 33.17, Bryan says NZPTV is not competitive- but rather, co-operative. “ We could make a programme that is of great public interest and make it in a dynamic way. We could take the online rights and a mainstream media outlet could take the broadcast rights. That would be an adult way of dealing with different kinds of distribution “ At 34.48, Bryan says it’s no accident that one of the longest running programmes in this country is called ‘Fair Go’. He feels that deep down, most Kiwis believe in a fair go and many of felt terribly betrayed by 1984 and the adoption of Neo Liberalism and being told it was the only way we could go. “ Well it wasn’t. there are about 30 different kinds of capitalism in the world and if you look at what happened in Scandinavia, they took a deep breath and paused - and then they adopted certain elements ONLY. They fenced off policies to do with children, the elderly and housing, and then they said they would allow OTHER policy to be more entrepreneurial . Whereas in New Zealand , the government said “ ALL of that is wrong and this new evangelistic way is right, and there is now only ONE way to do this”. Bryan cites David Lange’s book which shows he later realised this was the worst thing he did. In fact, he may not have fully understood it and “ To be fair, I’m not sure that many of us understood it at the time. I certainly didn’t” says Bryan. “ I did up one house and sold and got a better house. What I didn’t think about was that 20 years down the track, other people’s children would not be able to afford a house because of what I was doing - and many of us were doing. We were just doing the best by our families and we were encouraged to think that that’s what you should do. Even Roger Douglas may have thought he was doing the right thing. I’ve never spoken to him. I’d like to interview him. But the reality is; it WASN”T the right thing. It created a HUGE inequality. When the National Party came in afterwards and created The Mother of All Budgets under Ruth Richardson, then ALL of the childhood diseases that relate to poverty, skyrocketed. And that’s nothing to be proud of. That should have told anybody who had social concern that there is something fundamentally wrong with this economic system that is creating this.” . From 40.30 in, Bryan discusses the structure of NZ Public Television. At 50.09 he says one of the way it will benefit producers who have good product, is that they give that programme to NZPTV for free for 7 days and then it goes to the ‘Pay Per View’ section . But all that money goes directly to the producers, not to NZPTV. (This is also a reminder to viewers to check the weekly offerings on NZPTV as there is a brisk turnaround of programmes). At 53.07 Bryan says the whole idea of New Zealand Public Broadcasting is to return to an early idea of television: namely , using it to communicate with one another , to talk to each other.

Every parent has their own way to cure a crying baby: a pacifier, their favorite toy, but one Denver couple has an odd solution: watching football. FOX's Alex Hein has the story in today's "Housecall for Health": This is, Housecall for Health. Any tired new parent can tell you the tricks and trades they've picked up along the way to help soothe a crying baby, but for longtime Broncos fans Laura and Bryan Catron, getting their baby Lola to stop crying has meant putting aside their Denver pride. Little Lola, who has already undergone two heart surgeries in her three months of life, will only stop crying to watch the Cowboys take the field. Laura said the family's has watched so much football recently that she feels like other parents whose children got hooked on the hit Disney movie 'Frozen'. Bryan said the soothing effect of the Cowboys is instantaneous, and it doesn't matter if its on a laptop, phone or television. When Bryan and Laura tried to get her to watch the Steelers or the Browns, little Lola kept right on crying. Though they'd much rather her root for the Broncos, they said her happiness is worth the agony of rooting for Dallas. For more on this story, check FOXNewsHealth.com.
