In this episode of Soul-full Sunday   Mary sparks discussion around having to teach our children adversity and how to work through it. Similar to what Tony Robbins teaches around having to bless the good, the bad, and the ugly in our life. How much do we get involved as parents to influence how they handle a situation? Should parents get involved or let kids figure it out on their own? Rich shares the story of two brothers having the same dad… a dad who was always in trouble, not a good father figure at all. One brother chooses to blame his DNA and use his father as an excuse for his behavior and following in his footsteps. The other brother says “I’m going to change this shit,” and opts to create a new path for more positive outcomes. URL: Http://www.WhatIsYourWHAT.com   Share your thoughts …

Toan Lam and his family escaped war-torn Vietnam by boat in the 1970s, settling in South Sacramento, California. They had only $4 to their name and could not speak English. With 10 people living in a mobile home, they began their journey to create a new life – their “American Dream”. Though Toan’s parents had visions of him becoming a doctor, lawyer, or engineer, his idea of the American dream was not about money or material wealth. He wanted to relate to the world around him and continue his life journey in a different way – his way. Becoming a journalist against his parents’ wishes, Toan used his opportunites and talents to give back, bringing himself joy and achieving his dreams while still only in his early 30s. He was a television reporter in San Francisco, co-host of a PBS show and a college instructor. Despite this success, he was not completely happy. News reporting on such topics as death and destruction daily weighed heavily. In 2009, though, he was laid off from that job, which left him with the freedom to pursue a new dream. Friends, mentors and strangers alike told Toan they felt better after spending time with him. Some nicknames started becoming commonplace, such as “Toan Time”, “Asian Male Oprah” and “Toprah”. He began sharing his story by starting a non-profit called “Go Inspire Go” (GIG), a multimedia platform that highlights everyday heroes to bring out and inspire the hero in all of us. He also launched the TruthDare podcast, where he realized his own calling. Toan is now “Chief Inspirator” of Go Inspire Go. The equation is simple: Authentic storytelling + Social media = Action. Since 2009, he has rallied over 150 volunteers globally and produced dozens of original videos of heroism and hope, helping to send 32 kids in Haiti to school, helped a kindergartner raise 200,000 meals for a food bank, and saved the lives of suicidal teens. GIG’s work has been shared by ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Disney & Hallmark Channels, Yahoo and more. He has shared his story as a motivational speaker with Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, Rotary International, TechSoup and Seed It Up in Australia. The Go Inspire Go vision has also expanded to youth through their Community Heroes program. Community Heroes is a parent-facilitated school club that helps sow the seeds of compassion in youth by using Go Inspire Go videos to inspire elementary school students to action in their community. With adult guidance, kids run collection drives, fundraisers and service projects throughout the school year. Each year, these efforts are highlighted by a “Day of Giving,” which brought together 300 students and parents from 14 school communities to help with a multitude of service projects on a Sunday this past March.

In this episode of Soul-full Sunday   Mary shares how it’s important to serve our community but sometimes we have to focus on our WHAT (referring to Steve’s What Is Your WHAT Wednesday episode) and take care of our families. Have you had a situation in your WHAT where you’ve gotten in your own way?   Steve believes our ego gets in our way… that no one else knows better than me. Personally, he’s left so many zeroes on the table that he’s afraid they’re mad at him. So what’s the key to being able to change that and do life differently?   URL: http://www.gowithyourgut.net/free   Share your thoughts …

The suicide epidemic is prevalent across the nation. The problem is… no one wants to talk about it. In this episode we talk with Marybeth who shares the story around the recent death by suicide of her boyfriend, Steve. And our own producer, Kelly, whose nephew took his own life only days before the show aired. Mary describes suicide as the equivalent of an emotional cancer. Is there really anything we can do to prevent suicide? How do we recognize the signs? How do we deal with the aftermath of emotions of those left behind?

In this Episode of What Is Your WHAT?     Steve kicks off a discussion about Jeff Bezos now surpassing Bill Gates on total net worth. How do you turn a website into $91 billion? Amazon is poised to take over the world… it gives you everything you want, and fast. What is it that you’re truly compelled to do and what is it that you can create for others that can help them achieve what they want out of life? Often times we have to take into consideration what we want out of life as well. We can’t be altruistic in everything we do. We have to monetize what it is we’re doing in order to survive. Solve your own problems and then share (sell) that solution with the world… life according to Wade.     Book: What Is Your WHAT?
