My guests on this episode are The Lee Sisters! As you’ve heard they are launching their first-ever CD. I’m so honored to have them both on this show and I cannot wait for you all to hear about how they got started. You’ll even get a sneak peek at two songs from the CD later on in the show concluding with the lightning round. So you’ll want to listen all the way to the end for that. First, I would like to shout to out Uncle Kamaka Brown, the creative director of the Sandwich Islands Network Radio, 24-7 online streaming of island contemporary music at V93FM.com for the introduction to Lise more than a year ago. Shout out to Nate Yaris for helping with the music and of course Red Light Fever Studios in Tujunga, Calif. and the masterwork of engineer-extraordinaire Kristofer Traynor. Sisters in real life, the girls have been performing throughout California and Hawaii since 2015. The Lee Sisters’ ukulele adventure began in January 2015 when they were invited by Kanile'a Ukulele to play at the NAMM show in Anaheim, Calif., the world’s largest music convention. Since then, they've been invited to perform at dozens of festivals and events throughout SoCal, including the Heritage of Aloha Festival in Santa Fe Springs (where Lise was the winner of their 2015 ukulele competition). In Hawaii, they have performed as guests of Bryan Tolentino and Herb Ohta Jr. at the Kani Ka Pila Grille, the Moana Terrace at Marriott Waikiki as guests of Alan Akaka and the Keawe Ohana Show, and most recently at Disney’s Aulani Resort as guests of The Makaha Sons. The Lee Sisters recorded two original ukulele pieces for an EP released by Sandwich Islands Network (SIN) Radio entitled “California 808,” and recently completed their own original album called “Uke Shoes.” Surprisingly, they have only been playing the ukulele for five years…and are self-taught!

My guest on this episode is a former professional baseball player, Tim Pahuta. Tim was originally drafted in the 21st round (624th overall) in 2001 by the Pittsburg Pirates but opted to attend Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey. In 2005, Tim was drafted again, this time by the Washington Nationals ion the 18th round (534th overall) where he signed and played professionally in the minor league system from 2005 to 2013. Tim has traveled the nation for the past 15 years, rarely spending more than 6 months in a single location. Today he is the first Life Mapping Coach in the U.S. Life Maps are a brand new tool for understanding and enhancing your life story. In this episode, you'll hear from Tim about his life growing up learning about baseball at a young age to his life on the road as a professional baseball. You'll also hear how Tim became a Life Mapping Coach and how this tool could benefit you. I love hearing stories about baseball -- as you know, baseball is my favorite sport and because of my own personal ties with baseball as a once baseball Mom to a traveling baseball player turned professional baseball player. So this subject is always near and dear to my heart. I really enjoyed learning about Tim's transition from playing professional baseball to becoming the first Life Mapping Coach in the U.S. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a Life Mapping Coach or want more information about Life Mapping as a personal development tool, please visit LIFEMAPPING DOT ME.

Don’t be afraid to question often, question better, and question sooner. The key word is QUESTION. Ask questions, learn early, yes, we all make mistakes but learn from them.

In this episode, my guest, Roni Lambrecht, shares her story about losing her only son, Dalton in an ATV accident. He was 15 years old at the time. Together with her husband John, Roni's world would change forever. It was through their grieving process, that led Roni to write two books: PARENTING AT YOUR BEST: POWERFUL REFLECTIONS AND STRAIGHTFORWARD TIPS FOR BECOMING A MINDFUL PARENT A PARENT'S GUIDE FOR JOURNALING TO THEIR CHILD: SIMPLE STRATEGIES FOR WRITING HEARTFELT LOVE LETTERS TO YOUR CHILD. Roni says PARENTING AT YOUR BEST, which was named the GOLD MOM'S CHOICE AWARD, was written from a completely different perspective of any other parenting book ever written before: from that of a mother looking back over her life as a parent after loss, sharing the things we did right and the regrets that often sneak up on us. Roni, a firm believer of paying it forward, shares a heartfelt story about a random act of kindness. Join the Random Act of Kindness movement and pay it forward in honor of your own loved ones, the way that Roni has done and continues to do on the regular for her son Dalton.

Shawn Anderson is a #1 ranked motivational author, unlimited thinker, and lifetime entrepreneur with a history of inspiring others. A seven-time author, Shawn is also the creator of Extra Mile Day...a day recognizing the power we each have to create positive change when we "go the extra mile." (On 11/1/17, 527 cities made the declaration and recognized local extra-mile heroes.) Shawn walks his talk. Besides having inspired tens of thousands through his speaking and writing (including an inspirational speaking tour in the Philippines attended by 20,000 attendees), Shawn’s built a million dollar company, pedaled a bike solo across the U.S. (twice), and created adventures in 45+ countries including having walked border-to-border across six (England, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Italy and 750 miles around Shikoku, Japan.) Still...he believes his greatest adventures and success are waiting to be lived. Extra Mile Day & Extra Mile America History: In 2009, in order to symbolize the "go the extra mile" message, Shawn Anderson (a non-bicyclist) pedaled 4,000 miles ocean-to-ocean, interviewed 200 people along the way whom had been identified as having gone the extra mile, and then gave $10,000 of his own money to the people and organizations whose stories most inspired him. As a part of that cross-country extra-mile ride, Extra Mile Day (11/1)......a day recognizing the capacity we each have to create positive change in our families, our organizations, our communities and ourselves when we "go the extra mile"... was created with 23 inaugural cities. The momentum of this unique day has continued to build each year since, and on November 1, 2017, 527 mayors and cities made the "Extra Mile Day" declaration and recognized the value of the "go the extra mile" spirit in their community.
