tell me a story

In our latest Tell Me a Story podcast, we introduce you to an endurance athlete.

He runs races with a much bigger goal in mind than just reaching the finish line.

Every step that Todd Crandell takes is one more step away from the lifestyle that threatened to kill him. And every IRONMAN he completes is a victory for the people he's trying to help to break free from the grip of addiction.

This week I’m chatting with my friend and fellow podcast host, Hillary Rea. We’ve only known each other for a few years, so most of our relationship has transpired during the pandemic. We’re neighbors who share similar values, and we even get our veggies from the same CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), Taproot Farm.

In this episode, Hillary talks about her monthly virtual meet up called the Speak Up Session. It’s a free gathering for entrepreneurs, leaders & change makers craving a communication style that aligns who they are, what they do, and what they stand for. Check out her website or sign up for her newsletter to get the latest information regarding dates and time. Her November meet up was this past week, so make sure to join in December!

Hillary wrapped up Season 3 of her podcast Roshomon over the summer. While Roshomon has come to its conclusion, Hillary is too passionate about podcasts to walk away from them. While we both agree podcasts are a lot of work, Hillary loves both the audio work as well as helping others find their podcast voice. Which is what she did for me, when I didn’t even know I would be hosting a podcast when we worked together.

Topics Include:

🎧 Taking Chances and Saying Yes (and Knowing When to Say No)

📚 Walking Away from Social Media Actually Helped her Business Grow

🎤 The Power of Googleability 

🎧 Becoming Your Own Tech Expert

📚 Life (and Venues) Coming Full Circle 

🎤 Creating Your Own Opportunities 

🎧 The Importance of Grounding Oneself and Meditation

Thanks so much for listening, and enjoy the following episode “Have I Got Some Stories For You with Hillary Rea”.

This week's Disney Detective explorers to real possibility of the Disney Parks in the United States possibly not opening for the remainder of the year and what that means for safety, the park visitors and the staff. Abigail Disney is once again in grabbing headlines with her vulgarity laced charges against the Disney company for their recent furlough of park employees. And despite the parks being closed there is a new lawsuit raging against the Frozen ride in Epcot.

Star Wars Insights explores rumored reports of a new Disney+ television show in the works from "Russian Doll" Co-Creator Leslye headland featuring a female-centric point of view. And we'll also talk about reports that Disney has begun work on The Mandalorian season 3 after having already wrapped production on Season 2 which is due for an October 2020 release.

In Entertainment News we look at some additional offerings of Virtual Experiences from Wizard World with the cast of Grimm, Gotham and The Boys now offering a variety of opportunities to interact with. And we'll also look at an unexpected connection between Dolly Parton and Buffy the Vampire Slayer that has only recently come to light.

As always we'll finish up with our Insightful Picks of the Week, another couple of suggestions to help you get through the cabin fever of quarantine. 

KP & JOHNNY HAWTHORN appeared on Radio8Ball as part of our JONI MITCHELL tribute episode of March 22, 2018.
