A Great Year Starts With A Great Attitude
Jan 09, 2026Growth is the only evidence of life, therefore in order to experience positive growth in 2026, we must take charge of our lives and do what helps us grow in every aspect of our life on a day-by-day basis. It doesn't matter whether we use resolutions, powerwords, year-long themes, etc. It only matters that we are intentional in choosing to live forward each day.
Duration: 00:26:38It's a NEW YEAR. Start it the Right Way
Jan 02, 2026Yes, 2026 has arrived. The more things "seem" to change the more they remain unchanged, but that doesn't have to mean that we stay the same. A New Year is a New Opportunity. Today we talk of things already shared. We also talk of things added to what we've already shared. Let's begin with a fresh and meaningful outlook for 2026.
Duration: 00:27:58Living Forward is a CHOICE
Dec 26, 2025I have learned that grief and sorrow are not exclusive to the death of a cherished loved one. Throughout our lives we are impacted by grief events that cover a multitude of painful, heartbreaking results. The issue we must confront is finding a way to LIVE FORWARD with the loss and avoid the tendency to simply give up and quit. Remember, I said Living Forward is a choice. I hope you'l join me as we look within ourselves and find a way to live forward with the loss.
Duration: 00:29:17We Can't Change What Happened, But We Can Change How It Shapes Us
Dec 19, 2025The 5000 foot view of the lives around us reveals a surprising fact. There are 1000's of people who have experienced sorrow, pain, anguish, and more. They are just like us. It's not just about what happens to all of us. It's about what we do with what happends to us, and that process takes some very harsh and painful work. Even more important, we can't do it entirely on our own. We will need help. The first CHOICE must be to realize we need the help and seek that help. If we don't find a way to move...
Duration: 00:26:22There Truly Are Only Two Choices
Dec 12, 2025Random events are as varied as people. Random events are everything from a delightful surprise to a life-changing devastation. At it's most simple level, when a traumatic event plunges us into the depths of sorrow, we have only two choices. We either find a way to move forward with the sorrow, or that sorrow will make the choice for us. Lets share our stories of the amazing and the devastating. We all have more than a few of them.
Duration: 00:32:09What We Do With Sorrow is a Choice
Dec 05, 2025I recently heard it said that if you don't choose to move forward with your grief and sorrow, that grief and sorrow will make the choice for you. That's my 5000 foot view. Everyone has or will experience deep, heartbreaking sorrow. Today we talk about choices and consequences. Living Forward is a CHOICE. Staying stuck in your sorrow will allow that pain to makee the choice for you. It's possible for you to take control and create a better outcome.
Duration: 00:28:18There's More to Grief Than Just Death
Nov 28, 2025For me, the longer I live, the more I realize that grief touches so much more than just when someone or something (living) dies. Death takes the form of so many things. I don't want to get you in a sad, dark place, but we all have experienced many very painful and heartbreaking situations for which we still feel a deep sadness. That sorrow is grief. We will experience more griefs moments as we live more days, weeks, months, and tears. It's not just about what happens to us. It truly is about what we do with what...
Duration: 00:28:11And So It Begins. How Do We Find Our Way Forward?
Nov 21, 2025To begin the process of living forward after a devestating loss is realize that we can't leave the loss behind. You don't move on past it, you move forward with it. However, it's even more important to understand that grief is so much more than just about a "death" event. Yes, the death of someone or something (pet) we love unconditionally is TRAUMA! But grief is not just about death. Grief is LOSS. The loss of of something we found precious. And so, it begins. First we define and understand, then we start moving forward.
Duration: 00:28:12Introduction to Finding a Way Forward
Nov 14, 2025Today we start unpacking the struggle of dealing with the "What Now" question after having suffered a devastating and tragic loss. There are a miriad of problems that bring us to a grinding halt after these losses. Finding the means to live forward and do so with meaningful purpose is hard work. One podcast episode will not address these heartbreaking situations, but we can talk about how the RESOLVE mindset and Seven Best Behaviors can give us a process for moving forward intentionally. And so we begin today. Please listen, and I welcome your input and feedback to...
Duration: 00:25:53Instead of Resolutions, Try a PowerWord
Nov 07, 2025As we enter the last two months of 2025, I am reminded of November 2017 when I decided to stop failing at New Years resolutions and found success with a PowerWord for Living. Perhaps this might be the new path to you living forward with success. Let's talk about the potential power in your PowerWord.
Duration: 00:26:05Understanding RESOLVE and the Enthusiastic Mindset
Oct 31, 2025It's easy to tell you what can work for you. It's an entirely different thing for any of us to actually do it. As we wrap up this deep-dive into the PowerWord "RESOLVE" and the seven personal, behavioral best praactices embodied in the letters of "RESOLVE", I hope to help us all understand that we will not always feel like being enthusiastic about each day of our lives. It's not a magic formula. It's a choice, I found it works for me, and I believe it can work for you.
Duration: 00:26:19Enthusiasm ... Explained
Oct 24, 2025If you look up the definition of "Enthusiasm" you may question how much it plays out in the RESOLVE mindset. Today we'll take a closer look at how we can intentionally practice an enthusiastic mindset on the toughest of days.
Duration: 00:23:41To Be Enthusiastic We Must Understand Enthusiasm First
Oct 17, 2025FINALLY we have arrived at the last letter of RESOLVE, and it's E for ENTHUSIASM. This is a great word in meaning, but a sometimes tough word in practice. We will talk about the enthusiastic mindset and the practice of intentional enthusiasm over the next few weeks, but today we need to begin to understand what enthusiasm is and realize we have to work at it.
Duration: 00:24:42Cultivate Your Visionary Mindset
Oct 10, 2025The principle of having personal vision is not making a WISH. It's about conceiving a great expectation, surrendering fully to the belief in its possibility, and doing the hard work to achive that visionary goal. Today's episode is about a the cultivation of the visionary mindset through the RESOLVE PowerWord formula for personal success.
Duration: 00:24:42Vision Is Seeing - Believing Is Seeing
Oct 03, 2025Vision is not just about our eyes. In this episode, John fleshes out the power in our minds to see a goal so clearly that we set out to do the WORK necessary to make that vision a reality. The key is "THE WORK" of putting that mental vision into practice.
Duration: 00:25:48We Choose What We Envision
Sep 26, 2025We'll talk today about Visionary Mindset as a choice. There's nothing random abour it. Consider your vision of what could be based on a belief that you can create the best outcomes. TWO CHOICES: Either you see and expect the best or you see and wait for the worst.
Duration: 00:23:52Mindsets that Matter
Sep 19, 2025Before we move forward with the personal best practice of visionary mindsets, I wanted to revisit the concepts of a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. They are not mutually exclusive, nor is one better than the other. Balance is the way to allow for solid core values while engaging in a learning attitude that grows every aspect of our lives. I hope you'll join me in a little mental prep as we learn about intentionally living forward.
Duration: 00:27:15If We Only Knew Then What We Know Now
Sep 12, 2025We've been talking in previous episodes about Lifelong Learning. Today we examine the learning laboratory that is life. The lessons we learn from our choices can be painful or transformative. Remember the definition of insanity? If we don't learn and experience change, we will be doomed to make the same mistakes repeatedly. Learning is the most valuable gift this life can give us, if we choose to let it transform us.
Duration: 00:23:08The LOVE of LEARNING
Sep 05, 2025So much is said about our mental, cognative, and physical health as it relates to lifestyle, diet, exercise, etc, etc ... so-forth-and-so-on. You get it, I am sure. There is a passion that I have that any of you can have, and we don't realize just how theraputic it can be. LEARNING simply for the Love of Learning. Let's start a conversation of the incredible healing power of LEARNING.
Duration: 00:17:45Why Learning is Life-Giving
Aug 29, 2025In my twilight years, especially after my amazing wife passed away in 2019, I have come to love the experience of learning. It's not just a handful of specialties, but so much of everything. It's 2025, I am 75 years old, and learning is giving me new-found life and meaningful purpose. To love learning is to choose learning and committ to it. Today is the first of a handful of podcasts focused on the ACTION, ATTITUDE, and MINDSET of LEARNING continuously.
Duration: 00:22:52"O" Is At The Center of Your Success
Aug 22, 2025It was totally unplanned that the center letter of our PowerWord would be the letter "O". When Donna and I chose RESOLVE as that PowerWord, we had not yet started our "drill down" to find a personal best practice for each letter of RESOLVE. We decided on ORGANIZATION as the most desired behavior in our everyday lives. It never occurred to us that organization is the anchor or hook for which all the other behaviors hang on.
Duration: 00:17:56A Straight-Forward Take on Service
Aug 08, 2025Service is an important word. Service is many things. Service is needed more now than ever. The letter "S" in my power word, RESOLVE, is for service, but not just any kind of service. Are you willing to sacrifice self for service?
Duration: 00:20:23ENGAGE is a Behavior That We Choose
Aug 01, 2025For those of us who have been around for a while on this conversational podcast, we are familiar with the power of the word RESOLVE, and we are acquainted with the seven letters that spell RESOLVE. Those seven letters represent seven active, intentional, and daily personal behaviors. These BEST PRACTICES are transformative. We're going to do another examination of the first letter "E" in RESOLVE. That "E" is for ENGAGE. Let's talk about what this word means in the context of Living Forward.
Duration: 00:16:06The RESILIENT Mindset
Jul 25, 2025Resilience can determine whether we get up and get going or whether we avoid any effort to move in a forward direction. Most of you know that my power word, RESOLVE, is about having a definite, firm plan of action. It's a choice. The letter "R" in RESOLVE is the behavior of a resilient mindset. There are only two choices. Either we get up and get going, or we stay down and avoid any further attempts to live forward. I apologize for oversimplification, but it's actually that simple. Today, we revisit the personal best practice of resilience.<...
Duration: 00:14:48It's Okay to Ask for help
Jul 18, 2025When things happen and you can't see any hope, there are two things that I know for certain. One, you are not alone. It happens to everyone, so don't be ashamed. Two, it's not beneath you to ask for help. Don't let misplaced pride keep you from finding the answers you need. We all need help from time to time.
Duration: 00:12:09Looking Back at The First 50 Episoded
Jul 11, 2025Last week was a milestone in my podcasting journey. I produced my 50th episode of "RESOLVE to Live Forward", and at the same time, my 100th podcast download took place. To most people, that's not a big deal, but here's why it's a big deal to me. We start at ZERO. Now there's a BUMP UP. That's how Living Forward works. Be consistently persistent, and the results will slowly but surely show up.
Duration: 00:25:42Meet the "Attitude Chiroprator", Dr Steven Shaner
Jul 04, 2025My first-ever podcast guest, and man, am I excited! Steven Shaner is not a Doctor of Chiropractic, but he is active in helping with "adjustments" to your attitude, self-talk, and mindset. Steven is my guest today (Happy 4th of July) and he will talk about 1) Attitude as a Choice, 2) Words matter, and 3) Gratitude is the Key! Please enjoy, because I promise you that he is a relationship superstar.
Duration: 00:31:22Believing is Seeing, 2.0
Jun 27, 2025Context is everything. No disrespect intended, but believing in something not yet seen, in my opinion, is best expressed in practicing the best behaviors for a successful life, moment by moment, without questioning the FACT that doing the right things will always pay the best results. We've all heard the statement, "Seeing is believing." It's true, until you get DEEP-FAKED. The intentional behavior of believing without the need for tangible evidence is the truest expression of faith. The faith we're talking about is faith in doing the right stuff NOW. Let's talk Believing is Seeing, 2.0. It's far more p...
Duration: 00:30:53The Safety Cones in Your Life
Jun 20, 2025Construction, repair, danger ahead, closures, etc. Everywhere we look, we see safety barricades, safety signs, safety vests, and SAFETY CONES. Most of the time, these "Safety" devices will be orange. Yes, there are other colors, but it seems like everywhere I drive in Central Florida, there are orange safety barrels, barricades, flags, signs, and cones — miles and miles of cones. They do cause us to spend more time getting from Point A to Point B, but they are there for that very reason: safety. Here's my question for today. Are we putting up safety cones (figuratively) in our liv...
Duration: 00:20:30Having a PROCESS Will Get You Unstuck
Jun 13, 2025RESOLVE to Live Forward is not just a podcast. It's a behavior. It's a choice. It takes work, and for it to work, you need a PROCESS. Join John as he steps through how you can change your mindset by living out, each day, the seven behaviors for a transformed mindset and a new vitality for living forward.
Duration: 00:27:40Did I Remember to Do That?
Jun 06, 2025Ever left your home or place of business only to arrive at your destination and suddenly wonder, "Did I Remember to Do That?" Most of us have forgotten something important at some time. We almost always regret it, and hopefully, we learn from it. But ! That's a big word, "BUT". What if someone who should be responsible for "Doing That" fails to Do That, but you were the last one to see it or have the opportunity to double-check it? Who catches the heat? We do! Here's my story of something I was never told about, but I...
Duration: 00:18:35Setting Your Mindset to Gratitude Mode
May 30, 2025Some people learn this early on, while others, including me, learn it much later. Even though I learned this behavior much later than many others, I am glad that I found it and started doing it. What am I talking about? Putting your gratitude into journaling. Developing the right mindset for you should include a written record of your expressions of gratitude, appreciation, and thankfulness. I agree with all of you that there is more to it than just that, but if you are ready to journal, starting with gratefulness is a "GREAT" full way to get going.<...
Duration: 00:17:37Don't Give Others Permission
May 23, 2025Perhaps you've heard it said that no one can tell you what you can or can't do unless you give them permission. When it comes to taking control of your life and living forward, you must resist anyone who says you can't do it or you don't have what it takes to do it. John will take about the power of a resolute mindset.
Duration: 00:19:44How Stuck Happens & A Way to Get Unstuck
May 16, 2025What being stuck looks like is personal and unique to each of us. Getting unstuck may also be individually unique, but having a "framework" for getting unstuck can be useful, regardless of our situations. I want to suggest a possible solution. I t worked for me, and it could work for you.
Duration: 00:24:39Fixed Mindset and Personal Trespass
May 09, 2025A fixed mindset is not a bad thing unless you deploy it as a weapon against the mindset of others. Emotional trespass is ugly, and we do it far more than we realize. Let's get some perspective.
Duration: 00:22:26What Gets Us Stuck?
May 02, 2025Being stuck is not a crime. It's not a sign of weakness. Being stuck happens, and we must find a way to shift out of our "Stuckness." Like you, I have been stuck many times. Most of those moments were because of the choices I made. If we are honest, 20/20 hindsight will prove that if we knew then what we know now, we would have tried to avoid most of those choices. In episode 40 of "RESOLVE to Live Forward," we will begin the process of self-examination and identify what causes us to get stuck. Thanks for listening.<...
Duration: 00:22:13What Does "STUCK" Look Like?
Apr 25, 2025Being emotionally stuck can manifest in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. It often feels like the wheels of life are in the mud. You are expending energy but not making any forward progress. In today's episode, we'll look at some examples of what this kind of "STUCK" might look like. As we move forward over the course of future episodes, we'll look at some tools that will help us shift from stuck to forward living.
Duration: 00:21:02Setting Ourselves Up for the Best Outcomes
Apr 18, 2025Jim Rohn said, "We are the average of the five people we spend the most time with." Please consider that we have five senses. Do we try to govern what we allow those senses to spend the most time with? Would it be correct to say that we are the "SUM" of what we allow our five senses to be most often exposed to? What if I told you that we are the average of what we allow ourselves to be "exposed" to the most often? This should cause us to realize that we are the sum of...
Duration: 00:24:40Enthusiasm and Gratitude
Apr 11, 2025There is one way to resurrect enthusiasm amid life's struggles: gratitude! Here's a challenge: Can you recall a specific moment that always brings a smile to your face? If you can, then you can generate newfound enthusiasm in that exact moment. Today, we ponder the power of positive mental images and their invigorating power in our emotional framework. We are what we think.
Duration: 00:21:03Enthusiasm Should be Our Choice
Apr 04, 2025There will be days when we are not enthusiastic. That's life, and I get it. Although "fake it till you make it" may seem phony, in reality we must choose to be enthusiastic to make a difference in our now and in the future. Choosing to practice enthusiasm regardless of how we feel is a way to plant powerful positive seeds in our lives and the lives of others. Enthusiastic people are the "light in the fog of darkness."
Duration: 00:18:13You May Have to Choose to be Enthusiastic
Mar 28, 2025The last letter in the power word, "RESOLVE" is the letter E. In this context it represents enthusiasm. The seven best practices of successful daily living are all wrapped together in an enthusiastic mindset. However, there are many situations where we must Choose to be Enthusiastic. Today we'll talk about making the right choice.
Duration: 00:19:57Direction Requires Vision
Mar 21, 2025Consider this idea, please. Living Forward is about finding the right direction for your life. Vision is both a physical ability and a mental ability. It is said in Proverbs that where there is no vision, the people perish. Perish, in this context, is interpreted as to "aimlessly wander and be lost." Okay, that has a familiar ring to it. I think I've experienced this myself, from time to time. In today's episode, we'll stretch our mental muscles and look for ways to increase our visionary mindsets.
Duration: 00:19:38The Visionary Mindset Approach to Living Forward
Mar 14, 2025Napoleon Hill said that what our mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve. A visionary mindset is exactly that, a mindset. This is not about just dreaming. This is about formulating a clear image of what you want. There is also a biblical quote in Proverbs that says, "Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Proverbs 29:18). Having a vision of a better self is at the core of living forward. In today's episode, we'll examine the personal best practice of a visionary mindset.
Duration: 00:19:38"V" for Vision, and a Visionary Mindset
Mar 07, 2025Let's crack open the letter "V" in RESOLVE with an eye to how our mindset can see us at our best or worst. No matter what may be taking place in our day-to-day lives, we can intentionally see our best self emerge victorious.
Duration: 00:21:33Let's Talk Intentional
Feb 28, 2025"RESOLVE: Your Blueprint for Intentional Success." One word in this title is more important than all the others. INTENTIONAL. Today, we pause through the seven letters in RESOLVE to talk about the key to all success. It's intentional behavior. It's intentional mindset. It's about a choice.
Duration: 00:19:40Find Opportunities to Learn Something New
Feb 25, 2025John will wrap up this series on the letter "L" in RESOLVE by offering the benefits of learning and the variety of ways we all can keep learning daily.
Duration: 00:17:39Don't Let TIME Get In The Way of Learning
Feb 14, 2025Rats! Trapped at a doctor's appointment that's running really late. What do we do? Is this an opportunity? It can be. The love of learning is intentional. Seeking to learn is making a decision to use our time and circumstances more effectively. I realized something valuable while waiting "way too long" at the doctor's office. Let's talk about a mindset shift.
Duration: 00:15:06Learning is Fundamental
Feb 07, 2025"The day you stop learning is the day you start dying." R E A L L Y ? That kind of grates on my nerves. Yet, as I have Lived Forward, it has become a ring of truth in my personal life. Could we consider intentional learning as a "Life-giving behavior?" I believe it has saved my life. Please join me as I share some of the life-giving fundamentals of learning.
Duration: 00:18:20When Do We Start Learning? SURPRISE!
Jan 24, 2025What do you think of when you hear the words, "See, Hear, Smell, Taste, Touch?" As we talk about the practice of Life-long Learning, we'll LEARN that a great deal of what we've learned and are continuing to learn is automatic.
Duration: 00:16:15"L" is for LEARNING
Jan 17, 2025Thank you for traveling with me on this journey of discovery and Forward Living. The letter "L" in RESOLVE represents Learning. We are designed to learn things every day. Today is an introduction to a series of episodes examining the learning mindset and the opportunities for beneficial learning. Learning can save your life. Learning should always be an intentional behavior in a life of RESOLVE.
Duration: 00:20:42Organize for a Complete Quality of Life
Jan 10, 2025Yes, it's 2025. Whether we make or don't make resolutions, most of us want to experience better days in the future. "Living Forward" is best achieved when we organize our lives around a set of personal best practices. In today's episode, we'll wrap up the letter "O" (for Organization) with a personal call to action. It has helped me. I hope it will help you.
Duration: 00:20:27Organizational Mindset Could Save Your Life
Jan 03, 2025I know it sounds crazy, but I have found the ability to Live Forward because I already had, in place, a definite plan of action. It had laid a foundation of personal organization for living a better quality of life. Because of this "PLAN" of personal and professional organization, I was able to shift out of a hopeless event and emerge into a more vibrant and meaningful life. That mindset may well have saved my life. Your life might not be in peril, but if you're stuck in a hopeless lifestyle, I want to tell you what worked...
Duration: 00:28:20Process as a Tool in Organization
Dec 27, 2024We're talking about "O" for Organization. Maybe it's just me, but is organization where we run into the biggest deterrents to achieving success? Organization is about a PROCESS. Today we will begin to break down the means to developing a systematic process for organizational success.
Duration: 00:18:47The Center Letter is the Most Important
Dec 20, 2024RESOLVE .... In this context, is defined as, "... having a DEFINITE, firm plan of action." The middle letter "O" is the central behavior all other letters hang on to succeed in a Forward Living Life. Starting today, and over the next few episodes, we will peel back the layers of this important letter and what it stands for. Let's talk about how to make your plans for success come to life.
Duration: 00:22:13The Down Side of Selfless Service
Dec 13, 2024In our last episode, we discussed the joy of unconditionally serving others. However, there is a "DOWN SIDE" to this best practice. Often, the people we seek to serve are users only. They want but will never offer to give, which can make you weary and discouraged. Today, let's talk about how to guard ourselves from the users of this world.
Duration: 00:16:53Service Mindsets
Dec 06, 2024How do you define "service?" There are a multitude of services. We live in a service-based society. In this episode, John wants you to see how you can serve with a meaningful purpose. The operative phrase is "A Servant Mindset." One more thing. You might be surprised at the payoff.
Duration: 00:15:58Engage Life's Opportunities
Nov 29, 2024Last week we talked about the mindset of engaging people and building rewarding relationships. Today, John takes "ENGAGE" a step further by encouraging us to be alert for opportunities and engage them. Extract yourself from the "Same ole' same ole'." The first letter "E" in the power word, RESOLVE, is for Engage.
Duration: 00:16:49The Intentional Action of Engaging People
Nov 22, 2024Mindset can only work when we RESOLVE to engage people directly. It's not just about our circle of relationships. We must be of the mindset that when we are out in the public arena, we project an engaging personality. Whether it's a smile, a nod, or a word of greeting, take the risk to march to a different drum. Engage others and give them a reason to feel surprise, hope, encouragement, and warmth.
Duration: 00:18:07Resilience Put Into Practice
Nov 15, 2024Do we truly understand resilience? I am sure that from a physical standpoint, it is clearly expressed in sports, work, and other physical activities that require a dedication to consistent development. However, do we truly understand mental, emotional, and mindset resilience? No one who is an "overcomer" did so without the right mindset. At its core, a resilient mindset lays the groundwork for all kinds of success. I would even be so bold as to say without the right mindset, everything that follows will either fail or be far less than hoped for. Let's have this conversation for...
Duration: 00:16:13RESOLVE is not About Resolutions
Nov 08, 2024If you are dissatisfied with your life. If you are just going through the motions. If it's the "Same ole, same ole," then we need to create a new set of personal expectations. The first thing to do, since the year is coming to a close, is stop making resolutions. Some people keep them, but most of us don't. Years ago I simply quit making them. Then in late 2018, I was challenged to adopt a PowerWord. That word has changed my life. It just might change yours. Let's talk about RESOLVE. I have a definition that might just...
Duration: 00:14:59A Three for All
Nov 01, 2024In our journey of Living Forward, sometimes "Less is More." Today we look at the power of the number three (3). Sometimes we hear the term, "Rule of Three" and wonder if it's really all that useful. It has certainly worked for me as I live forward. Join me as we talk tools for your success on a day-by-day basis.
Duration: 00:37:33Mindset, Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying
Oct 25, 2024We've talked about mindsets previously, but there is an urgency needed to understand that before we can change our lives, we must change our mindsets. It starts with something so simple that we might not realize just how powerfully it affects us. Today, we discuss our self-talk. You will become exactly how you think and talk to yourself. If you're stuck, this may be the first place you start to shift out of stuck.
Duration: 00:30:07RESOLVE to Live Forward - "The Storms & Our Mindsets"
Oct 18, 2024At the time of this recording, John had just emerged from Hurricane Milton. John lives just 30 miles east of Tampa. When Milton made landfall at Siesta Key, FL, it was a Category 3 storm. When Milton plowed through Lakeland, FL it was a Category 2. It was scary! Today's episode (#14) is about "MINDSET." What is the right mindset? What can we do to extract ourselves from a "Stuck Mindset" into a "Vibrant, Meaningful, & Thriving Mindset?" It can work for just about anyone if we are willing to shift from stuck to unstuck. Think of it as RESOLVE best practices applied...
Duration: 00:36:35Uncertainty ... It is distructive. Episode 13
Oct 11, 2024At the time that John recorded this episode, he was awaiting the arrival of Hurricane Milton at his home studio in Lakeland, FL. The data that the weather scientists are providing is compelling. This hurricane is looking to be a "Storm of the Century" type of storm.
