What Value Do You Place On You? DTH Episode 148 with Regi Wilson

February 15, 2023 wilkwilkinson 0 Comments

What Value Do You Place On You?
How do you define value? What does value mean to you in terms of yourself and others? Can you love something that you do not value? Would you ever build upon something that you do not value? Would you protect something that you do not value? I’ll ask again, what value do you place on you?

Who is Regi Wilson and what is this Human Value Initiative?
Value identity and the human value initiative is a passion of my friend Regi Wilson of theequaluniverse.com. Regi had great accomplishments on the music scene where his music has appeared in numerous syndicated Emmy, Golden Globe and NAACP Image Award winning shows as well as along-side legendary music icons such as Chaka Khan, Mary J. Blidge, Erykah Badu, Amy Winehouse, Angie Stone, India Arie, Estelle and Jill Scott. He also share music and television history with one of the greatest music and feature film legends of all times. A true 21st century Renaissance Man. The incomparable, “Prince” Rogers Nelson.
Despite his achievements, Regi says “there are those who reduce me solely to the color of my skin and do not value my worth because of the socially constructed mold their ideas of humanity are shaped by.”

Are You Choosing to Live, or Waiting to Die? DTH Episode 147 with Clint Hatton

Are You Choosing to Live, or Waiting to Die?
This may be one of the most terrifying questions we have to ask ourselves as individuals. I personally believe we were given life, not simply to live, but to live fully. It goes right to the core of personal accountability. If you are not living the life that you want, what is standing in your way? My answer, in most cases, would be YOU. We live in a risky world, and living fully often means living courageously. So it may be time to ask yourself the question, are you choosing to live, or waiting to die?

Who is Clint Hatton and what is Big, Bold, Brave?
Clint describes himself as a deliriously happy husband to his beautiful bride, Amárillys (ArtbyAmárillys), and dad to three amazing boys (Gabriel, Joel, and Liam). They are his greatest joy and inspiration. Clint has also had some tough trials and suffered from hard losses.

Turning Your Baggage Into Luggage… DTH Episode 139 with Donna Tashjian

December 14, 2022 wilkwilkinson 0 Comments

What does “turning your baggage into luggage” even mean?

When I first saw the phrase, “turning your baggage into luggage”, I knew I wanted to speak with this week’s guest. We all know someone, or know plenty of them, who carry around everything that’s ever happened to them. All their toxic baggage keeps them down and prevents them from living their best life.

How can you turn that baggage into luggage?

You may have been taught how to cope with your fears and challenges. You may have used willpower for a while. But what this week’s guest will teach you is how to obliterate those fears and challenges. You will learn the tools to destroy them, not just coping mechanisms.
Donna Tashjian has been a speaker to organizations, churches, and a coach and mentor to individuals since 1990. In 2016 Donna founded Vibrant Living International, a nonprofit organization, to help people live to their fullest potential across the world.

Level Up Your Life with Next Level Thinking… DTH Episode 136 with Kevin Palmieri

Level Up Your Life with Next Level Thinking

Sometimes in life, once we attain a goal, we realize that goal is not quite the prize that we imagined it would be. This is not to say that goals are not important, because they very much are. This is to say, that often people put to much of their personal fulfillment and joy into external results. This can lead to a whole different kind of misery. This is the time to level up your life with next level thinking.

Kevin Palmieri talks Next Level Thinking

After hitting his goal of a six-figure income, Kevin realized that there had to be more. He had the car, the money, the typical “American Dream.” It took getting it all to realize that what matters most is your thoughts. And that’s how Next Level University was born.
In this great DTH conversation, Kevin and I discuss the importance of reflection and becoming very familiar with yourself. “What do you enjoy so much that you lose track of time?” We talk about life’s purpose, good habits and consistency. And of course, we talk about Kevin’s own story and how that lead to Next Level University.

Wilk and Jim Palombo have conversation on Episode 126 of the Derate The Hate podcast

A Country At Odds With Its Own Identity… DTH Episode 126

September 14, 2022 wilkwilkinson 0 Comments

Is our country at odds with it’s own identity? What is our country’s true identity? My guest this week, James E. Palombo, makes the claim that there is not enough dialogue about the character and culture of our great nation.

Who is James E. Palombo?
Jim Palombo was a self-described drug dealer and wise-guy who while being incarcerated back in the 1970’s came to the realization that he didn’t want to spend his life in and out of prison and fighting the powers of our justice system. At the suggestion of a mentor while in prison, he began receiving an education. It was through this education and his own life experiences that Jim gained a unique understanding of the American experiment.

My conversation with Jim on this episode of the DTH podcast is such an important one, because while Jim and I don’t agree on some things with regard to our country, we both want to make the case that many in our country lack ideological clarity and without an informed citizenry, our country is in big trouble. Check out this great DTH conversation and be sure to share it with your network of friends!
