On today's episode, Scott is joined by David Richman.By the time he was in his late 30’s, David was a sedentary, over-weight smoker who was stuck in an abusive and unhealthy marriage. It was clear that if he was going to enjoy any kind of satisfaction in life, he had to stop focusing on what others wanted out of him, and zero in on what he wanted for himself.He began to set measurable, attainable and meaningful goals—to become healthy, to raise his young twins in a safe home environment, to become a top performer at work and to seek out his own physical, mental and emotional limits.Through lessons learned in business, sport and life, David introduces the concept of “winning in middle of the pack” and discusses how we all can get more out of ourselves than we ever imagined.His most recent adventure was a nearly 5,000-mile solo bike ride across the country in which visited most of the participants for his upcoming book chronicling 15 people’s remarkable and unique emotional journeys with cancer.David is a businessman, corporate and motivational speaker, personal consultant,and author of CYCLE OF LIVES and WINNING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK.https://david-richman.cominfo@david-richman.comSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/starttalking)

This week Gareth is joined by Author, John D Bieber. -Gareth and John take a deep dive into the most asked question of all time...... Am I Loved - and also the title of Joh's most recent book!-Connect with John here:WebsiteInstagramTwitterGet a copy of 'Am I Loved? The Most Asked Question Of All Time HERE-“Am I Loved? The Most Asked Question of All Time “ defines the human condition and the fundamental roles played in our existence by the greatest of all human needs, the need to be loved. It translates the language and reveals the purpose of our emotions so that, at last, we can understand and take charge of them.It discovers the secret of how through Nature’s Protections life is protected, perpetuated and passed on. It introduces us to our all-important and previously unknown Supreme Sense which will enable us to gauge how we are surviving at any one time and which is, crucially, the source of our self-awareness and consciousness.And so we learn what emotions are for and how we process them, and their ineffable link with our need to be loved. We consider the fundamental role genes play in our existence, what is heredity, what is love, why we love, how we love, how being loved is the greatest of all our human needs; why “Am I Loved? “ is the most asked question of all time and why the vast majority of people ask the wrong one; how we can  explain the feeling of being alive;  why so many people seek love from an invisible god, what would happen if we could prove either that God did or not exist, and the ground breaking question of whether God has emotions?-Support The ShowBuy Us A Coffee: A one time donation helps us keep the mics on!  Click Here-Want To Start  A Podcast?Using the link below let's Buzzsprout know we sent you, gets you a $20 Amazon gift card if you sign up for a paid plan, and helps support our showStart Your Podcast Here-Check out our website HERE-Follow us on Social Media:InstagramFacebookTwitterYouTubeSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/starttalking)
