Michael was born to a hyper-abusive drug addict mother who cut his finger off at 4 years old, a step-father you pray you never have, and a racist grandmother that pushed him into an identity crisis.

Despite multiple learning disabilities and not graduating high school on time, Michael found success in Corporate America in his early twenties. However, success only made things worse. Michael found himself morbidly obese, high and drunk daily, and ultimately self-sabotaging everything around him. It was not until finding his inner power through his Mirror Moment and choosing to do whatever it took to work through childhood trauma that his life really began.Michael Anthony is the author of the best-selling book Think Unbroken and is a coach, mentor, and educator for adult survivors of child abuse.

 Scott Adkins, star of ACCIDENT MAN: HITMAN'S HOLIDAY | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 529

ABOUT SCOTT ADKINSWith a huge fanbase and 16+ Million followers, multi-hyphenate Scott Adkins is a skilled actor and one of the best martial artists in the world. Mr. Adkins will soon be seen in the highly anticipated JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 on March 24, 2023 - where he will star alongside Keanu Reeves, and also be reuniting with former IP MAN co-star Donnie Yen. Scott currently stars alongside Jamie Foxx & Dave Franco in the Netflix hit DAY SHIFT, now streaming. On September 23rd, he will star in SECTION 8 opposite Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren & Dermot Mulroney, followed by ACCIDENT MAN: HITMAN'S HOLIDAY on October 14th, which he also wrote & produced.Scott can also be seen in top projects such as Kathryn Bigelow's ZERO DARK 30 for Sony, AMERICAN ASSASSIN for CBS Films, the Marvel/Disney feature DOCTOR STRANGE, the comedic-spy thriller GRIMSBY for Paramount, THE EXPENDABLES 2, CRIMINAL, LEGACY OF LIES & SEIZED for Lionsgate, BOYKA: UNDISPUTED for Universal, AVENGEMENT, CASTLE FALLS opposite Dolph Lundgren, THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM opposite Matt Damon, THE WOLF WARRIOR, which grossed over $90 million USD in China alone, and ONE SHOT, opposite Ryan Phillippe.TRAINER FOR ACCIDENT MAN: HiTMAN'S HOLIDAY:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lO005og3_l4TRAINER FOR DAY SHIFThttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN_IwBptKi4ARTICLE FROM VULTURE.COM ON SCOTT ADKINSFamiliarity is more of a feature than a bug for Netflix, so it's not surprising that Day Shift, which topped the streaming service's charts after its August 12 release, is a lot like other movies you might have already seen. It's about a Black vampire hunter named Bud Jablonski (Jamie Foxx) who's human, but his gruffness and gifts for hand-to-hand conflict mean he comes across as Blade's down-on-his-luck SoCal cousin. Bud has a complicated history with the vampire-hunters union, the headquarters of which is a strip-mall answer to the hotel in the John Wicks, with its rules, bureaucracy, and fondness for retro technology. The antagonist he faces down, Audrey (Karla Souza), is overseeing a luxury development in the San Fernando Valley, bent on vampire rule via gentrification - a plan shared by the undead villains in Netflix's own 2020 Vampires vs. the Bronx. But there is an element that distinguishes Day Shift from any offering of the week, which is that it features a few genuinely pleasurable fight sequences. Some feature contortionists in ghoulish makeup who bend their limbs in eye-watering ways. The best involve Scott Adkins, a Birmingham-born martial artist and actor whose presence in Day Shift serves as an action shibboleth, a nod to the fact that first-time director J.J. Perry is a working stunt coordinator himself.Adkins is not famous, not in the way that his scene partner Steve Howey might be considered to be after long stints on Reba and Shameless. His most visible role to date is one most people didn't even know he played, taking over for Ryan Reynolds in the final act of X-Men Origins: Wolverine to play a not-quite-Deadpool with prosthetics over his face to make it look like his mouth was sewn shut. But he and Howey, cast as renowned vampire-hunting Armenian brothers who disguise themselves as stereo repairmen, roll up in Day Shift in the kind of entrance that suggests the audience is familiar with the actors being introduced. And a certain kind of geek absolutely will be. While Adkins has been inching toward the mainstream - he'll play a role in the upcoming John Wick: Chapter 4 - the fandom he's built up so far has come from his work in Asia and a slew of effective, bruising features that have mostly bypassed theaters. He's a deity of the direct-to-video realm, proving again and again that you don't need big budgets or a few...

 Paul Sexton, Author of Charlie's Good Tonight | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 389

ABOUT CHARLIE'S GOOD TONIGHTThe fully authorized and official biography of legendary Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, one of the world's most revered and celebrated musicians of the last half century. British journalist Paul Sexton-who has covered the band for more than thirty years-has been authorized to write Watts' biography by his family, who have maintained a low-profile dignity both before and since the drummer's death. The welcome result is CHARLIE'S GOOD TONIGHT: The Life, the Times, and the Rolling Stones: The Authorized Biography of Charlie Watts (Harper; October 11, 2022; $27.99), a frank, affectionate portrait of an iconic musician and singular man. The book also has the approval of the Rolling Stones themselves, with forewords by both Mick Jagger and Keith Richards."Watts was the proof that not all rock stars are created equal, and that clichés are there to be avoided. Such as the one that, in his mind, he was a rock star at all," Sexton writes. "He was the global celebrity who hated attention and once said that he preferred the company of dogs to humans; the car enthusiast who didn't drive; the horseman who didn't ride; the man of wealth and taste who grew up in a prefab; the drummer who toured the world for five and a half decades and spent all of them yearning to be home. The jobbing musician who thought the Stones would be finished in a year and ended up as their pilot light with a whole-life tariff. If you made him up, you would find few believers."Drawing on exclusive interviews with bandmates and fellow musicians, with family and myriad friends from childhood through his late life, Sexton gives the full measure of the man. From working class beginnings during World War II to the Swinging Sixties when he was recruited for the Stones months after their formation, through the celebrity and debauchery of the 1970s and 80s, weathering band bust-ups and battles with personal demons, Watts remained remarkably even keeled. With roots in jazz, he openly admitted that the Rolling Stones' music was not really his cup of tea, but faithfully kept the steady beat of the band for almost sixty years.While it offers new glimpses behind the scenes, CHARLIE'S GOOD TONIGHT is not a retread of the legend that is the greatest rock 'n roll band in history, says Sexton. It is a portrayal of the life and times of a "someone whose like we won't see again, who almost seemed to belong in another epoch altogether: a man out of time, but always perfectly in time.The biography not only draws extensively on Sexton's huge archive with the Stones, but contains countless fresh interviews, including new reflections by Jagger, Richards and Ronnie Wood; Watts' daughter Seraphina, sister Linda and granddaughter Charlotte; former bandmate Bill Wyman; engineer and confidant Glyn Johns; and many more.ABOUT PAUL SEXTONPAUL SEXTON is an author and broadcaster whose work has appeared in The Times (London), Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, Billboard and numerous other publications, and extensively on BBC RadioBook Available on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Charlies-Good-Tonight-Authorized-Biography/dp/0063276585/

 Tara Lipinski, Olympic gold medalist - New Show Wedding Talk, Premiering OCTOBER 13th | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 223

Tara Lipinski, the internationally acclaimed figure skater who won over the world's hearts when she earned the gold medal at the 1998 Nagano Olympics - earning her the distinction as the youngest individual gold medalist ever in Winter Games history - has applied the same grace, finesse and assiduous character as a role model to empower a whole generation of young girls to achieve any goal they set their minds to. Tara was also recognized as the youngest ever World Figure Skating Champion and United States Champion. In the time since her Olympic triumph, Lipinski has taken the same championship-style approach to her roles as a TV sports commentator for NBC, NBC Sports and Universal Sports, an actress, a philanthropist and more. In following her love for performance as a popular professional ice skater into these new high-profile jobs, it is clear Lipinski was born to be a performer both on the ice and on the screen.Today, Tara is NBC's prime time figure skating TV Analyst, covering events like the World Figure Skating Championships, the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series, the U.S. Figure Skating National Championships and the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. After her huge success at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, with NBC Sports, she was promoted to the NBC prime time team for the 2018 Olympic Games in South Korea. Aside from figure skating, NBC has enlisted Tara for its live event coverage of the Kentucky Derby, Super Bowl XLIX and 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Previous to her role at NBC, Tara attended Olympic Games where she worked with many of the world's top media outlets and partnered with sponsors, further burnishing her global stature as an iconic Olympian of accomplishment and inspiration.The strength of character, determination, expertise and Tara's infectious joie de vivre that has become her enduring brand can be seen in the golden moments of her winning Olympic performance, yet were instilled at an early age. It all began when as a three-year-old in Sewell, New Jersey, she started roller skating, and went on at age nine to win the primary girls freestyle title at United States Roller Skating Championships.At 13 years old, Lipinski went on to become the first female skater to land a triple loop/triple loop jump combination - a signature element of her performances. On reaching the amateur pinnacle of her sport with her Olympic achievements, Tara turned professional and proved her public appeal has a strong audience draw on such events as Stars on Ice, Champions on Ice and Ice Wars. She co-headlined with Scott Hamilton and Kristi Yamaguchi on the Stars on Ice tour and starred in the Pro Team competition Ice Wars that aired on CBS prime time.A deal with CBS Television resulted in her own primetime special, Tara Lipinski: From This Moment On, and led to dozens of cameo TV appearances and acting roles on such primetime series as Kidding, Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, Malcolm in the Middle, Veronica's Closet, 7th Heaven, and The Young and the Restless, among others.Tara also authored two bestselling books entitled Triumph on Ice and Totally Tara.Lipinski currently divides her time between Los Angeles and New York as well as the house she helped design on the South Carolina coast when she has time to get away from her busy career.ABOUT HER NEW SHOW WEDDING TALK, PREMIERING OCTOBER 13th CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL ENTERTAINMENT PUTS A RING ON THE ORIGINAL SERIES WEDDING TALK PREMIERING OCTOBER 13thDive into all things weddings with hosts Olympic gold medalist and commentator Tara Lipinski, event planner Jose Rolen and wedding designer Jove MeyerPremieres exclusively on the Chicken Soup for the Soul and Crackle free streaming appsCrackle Plus, a Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment (Nasdaq: CSSE) company and one of the largest operators of...

 David Pasqualone - Growing a business (sales and marketing focus) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 2073

Raised by a single mother in the late 1970’s after being abandoned by his father at birth, David lived in a dilapidated house with 6’ high ceilings that leaked when it rained for the first 20 years of his life. Scarred from watching his grandmother suffer while slowly and painfully dying from cancer, living in fear for his life at times due to insane family members threatening him (that were already convicted of murdering his great aunt), and the recipient of multiple other constant childhood traumas, David Pasqualone started life confused, scared, and feeling alone. He was regularly told by those around him that he was lazy, undisciplined, and useless. Constantly ill as a child and teenager, doctors labeled him as a hypochondriac as he got sicker and sicker over the years. Sent to psychologists instead of diagnostic testing, he was told he was a waste of life constantly by many of those around him. Despite this, David stayed respectful to his elders, but never accepted the lies he was being told about himself. Once he turned 18, he demanded medical tests and two weeks before his high school graduation, they revealed he had a tumor in his head the size of an orange that was slowly killing him. After two major surgeries, intense radiation therapy, and months stuck at home, David was dying at 19 years old. Even though doctors gave him little hope of survival, David chose to try a holistic approach to healing over more surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy. He not only survived, but thrived physically. The story continues with this young man, who thought he was intellectually a step above Forrest Gump and a functional idiot, finishing college, getting married, thriving in business, and raising a beautiful family. Only to get critically ill again and suffer for 5 years in intense pain after a simple dental visit goes horribly wrong. Told by multiple physicians to get his affairs in order and prepare for death, David refused to accept this path. Becoming his own medical advisor, David did basically everything opposite of what the doctors told him. He did his best in life each day to heal, but learned to trust God for the results. This phase of his journey brought him into wellness and strength. He got off all of the antidepressants and painkillers the doctors tried to medicate his symptoms with, and once again began to thrive physically. In 2014 his personal life took a drastic turn when his wife of 14 years derailed and their marriage turned into a long, terrible episode of the Jerry Springer show mixed with the Twilight Zone and the Good Son movie. It was a real-life nightmare. Fighting to save his marriage, protect his children, and not die from the stress, David spent 6 hard years trying to “fix things” before he learned to accept the reality of what he was facing, make the tough decisions, and move on with life. So he and his children could not only heal from the trauma and PTSD of the hand they were dealt, but fully heal, thrive, and live with joy once again. David’s life has been full of intense challenges in every area: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, familial, relational, social, and financial. Through this all he has learned that despite our circumstances and personal perspective, God is there for us, loves us, has a bigger plan than we can imagine. And most importantly, if we don’t quit and stay steadfast on our course, we’ll always win and benefit from even the most hideous experiences and hardships. So while David Pasqualone may have started out life confused, scared, and feeling alone, he now lives life with a passionate purpose, complete confidence, and is surrounded by those he loves. Each day David’s mission is to help people know God, be encouraged into action, find their purpose, live it passionately, and fulfill it steadfastly until their race is over. And with God, nothing is impossible; we cannot fail!...
