The one simple thing I carry with me everyday is a lesson learned while evolving into a second degree black belt in martial arts. Winning is a choice. Not just a positive thought. It's a lifestyle changer. Winning is a choice. It's also your choice to have a bad day. It's also your choice to see dark clouds over every decision made. On this podcast we leap into the moments of learning how to become more positive on your journey without irritating those that want nothing to do with upbeat happy people. Living a winning is a choice lifestyle requires only one thing. Awareness of where you presently stand. You have the power and ability to control all things that are happening right now. When bad luck hits. Winning is a choice. Accept the unexpected. Learn from it. Teach someone how to avoid what you labeled hell. There was once a time when earning a black belt wasn't a quarterly test at a school but rather a known participation with dedication, loyalty and determination. A black belt meant you put a lot of sweat into your studies. You worked so hard learning how to master more than the kicks but the walk through the everyday. That one time white belt became dark due to how much of your life was poured into the cloth. The more I grew as a martial artist the more my journey became spiritual. In all things there is energy. Good, bad and unexplained. I keep a defrag journal. It has nothing to do with my daily writing journal. Like a computer the human mind spirit and system of decisions needs to be defragged. The person you get to view in the bathroom mirror is rarely the same image deep within the skin. Learning to communicate with the core of your drive or lack of enables you to move beyond your hell. Winning is a choice. Ignoring who you are inside your head and heart is to. In all things there is energy. We are only an element and it's our choice to participate or style away from what could lead to a brighter sunrise.

Each book in the POP SHAKESPEARE SERIES is officially licensed and adapts the script of a beloved movie or television show into Shakespearean verse, giving a witty Elizabethan makeover to iconic scenes and dialogue as if the Bard had written your favorite pop culture touchstones himself!
The series begins with WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S MUCH ADO ABOUT MEAN GIRLS and WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S GET THEE BACK TO THE FUTURE.
"William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Mean Girls" gives fans the opportunity to treat themselves to the epic drama—and heroic hilarity—of the classic teen comedy rendered as a stage play. Heroine Cady disguises herself to infiltrate the conniving Plastics, falls for off-limits Aaron, struggles with her allegiance to newfound friends Damian and Janis, and stirs up age-old vendettas among the factions of her high school.
Through "William Shakespeare’s Get Thee Back to the Future," Doescher portrays Marty McFly’s quest to unite his parents and save his family with humorous asides, engaging soliloquys, Easter eggs, and Shakespearean renditions of hit songs from the movie’s soundtrack, including “The Power of Love” by Huey Lewis and the News and Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode.”
Doescher, who is excited to share these new renditions of his favorite films, adds that “with every Shakespearean take on a movie, I have the opportunity as an author to delve into the emotional lives of beloved characters like Cady Heron and Marty McFly. In doing so, I'm trying to give readers something unique and fun that adds to their experience of the films. With any luck, I am also attracting people to Shakespeare at the same time.”
Brett Cohen, Quirk Books’ publisher, praises Doescher, saying that “he’s clearly a master of iambic pentameter. But, he’s also a student of Shakespeare and each individual movie he tackles. He makes each of these books special by infusing the modern movies with sly references to Shakespearean tropes, characters or plot lines. In the process, readers get a new perspective on the familiar movie that they know and love.”

Long before Junior Seau hung up his NFL spikes, he was a legend. Seau had everything an athlete could ever want: the adoration of millions, the admiration of his peers, the love of a beautiful family, and a sense of purpose beyond the playing field. And yet, on May 2nd, 2012, at age 43, Seau, alone in his bedroom, shot himself in the heart. He left no suicide note, offering no clear answers to why he'd take his own life. Now, ESPN’s 30 for 30 film Seau seeks those answers, exploring his remarkable path out of an immigrant Samoan family to NFL stardom, and the many complications that ensued through two decades of playing a brutal and unforgiving game.
Documentary filmmaker Kirby Bradley – who co-created HBO’s Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel series – had done a lot of reporting on concussions and CTE syndrome as the showrunner of Real Sports. After learning that Junior Seau’s brain revealed CTE, he felt compelled to tell his story. Kirby can discuss the new film, the incredible life and career of Junior Seau, what we’ve learned from his story, and ultimately where the responsibilities lie.

I openly admit that I find myself arguing with the great mystery several times a week. All I want is to see the path. I'm that person that has to plan things out. I need to create a map before getting on the path. In order to bring all that's been shared forward my only request is to know where my next step is going to land. On this podcast I talk about my way of challenging the Creator in the way of needing to know so we can better prepare. We have full sight of a past we can't change. Why can't we see where we are growing toward? It's an honest request. The problem with the situation is totally based on who we are as people. We are perfectionists. If we saw our future we'd spend endless hours writing and rewriting the story. We'd drive ourselves insane because in all things we do it has to be something we accept. Even that isn't good enough. Living up to our personal expectations is a chore. Preacher people and those connected to the pulpit have no problem telling their community of believers that we need to have more trust and faith. That lasts for how long? Then I heard something in my heart while recording this broadcast, "If you truly know me. You already know the way."

Command To Be Lifted

I'm gonna get in trouble for this podcast. Each of us deal daily with coworkers and family members that have an amazing way of ripping your plans from the path and tossing them into areas of unprepared expectation. It formulates a day of doubt, fear, shame, guilt and whatever other emotion that volunteers to burn every bridge connecting your mind to the body and soul. Have you ever looked up the definition of the word Lift? It gives off a pretty cool ray of light. The empowerment of identifying the strength of the original seed. To move to a higher place. Doesn't that give you the power of strength? Look... I don't know how people pray or meditate I just know for um-teen billion years I knew in the depths of all things present that I had to be doing it wrong. Nothing was going right. You feel empty and unworthy. The cause and effect of such storms invades your system of choice. On this show I felt it to be. I share a thought that's never fallen from me before. Yet after it arrived it was if the willingness of a giving universe whispered, "Now you're getting the idea." Command to be lifted.

Stop Searching For Your Purpose Teach The Experience

I don't really care how old you are. Everyday is another classroom. It's our choice to walk from the educators. Lets turn that around. What if you're the teacher and those who need to hear your experiences can't find reason in your purpose? On this podcast we step onto that path. To see what you have lived as being the lesson learned. By choice we accept it. Sometimes we forgive the journey with it's misguided downfalls. We shove it into a box and hide it from the rest of the planet then sit around wondering why we are who we are so late in the game of life. Once again I don't care how old you are. I've met 21 year old's that think they've got one foot in the grave. Each of us are on separate paths. They aren't to be compared. They're to be shared. Teach it. I'm a firm believer that a person of homeless is a genius. They know how to survive. Whereas the rest of us accept life for what it is. Well? What is it? That's like asking someone what their favorite song of all time is. You think your job sucks? Go clean a movie theater after there's been 279 people sitting in those chairs. We are a third world generation that's been convinced that we have first world problems. Teach. Take what you know and what you've experienced and build upon the presence of a new tomorrow. Through teaching you physically become the better student. Don't dominate. Don't mandate. Don't manipulate. Don't think your life is better than any other. Teach your truth. Luck has nothing to do with your experience. We all have toilets that overflow and the damn dishwasher never properly cleans. But that's not what we think the real world wants to see. The way businesses hire is proof of that. They're allowing computers to sift through the resumes and cover letters without meeting the better talent. Those with greater experience. Teach...

Accepting Silence

I find incredible joy sitting in a room blessed with no sound. I hear music. What? In the center of a silenced room I find music. I can't explain it. I just know it's there and I tap into it by way of picking up a writing instrument and writing. On this podcast we talk about how a doves cooing from several blocks away locates a path to your moment of mindfulness. I meditate and pray in the presence of silence. What I don't do is use words in prayer. I arrive as a listener. My home sits in a forest so the natural elements that move through trees also moves through me. Taking note of their presence in the middle of my Now creates a stream of creative energy. On this particular day I read from the daily writing marked August 5, 2016. That's almost three years ago. It's totally impossible for me to understand where I truly was in thought. I only have handwritten words that look to be incredibly positive. Because I know who I am and how I write, that's not always what the passerby assumes. I call it Hidden Speak. No matter how negative you might be feeling as a creative person you always have the ability to use your emotions as a positive expression. We talk about how to grow on that path of choice without having to down twelve cups of coffee followed by a Kit Kat bar. There's incredible energy around us at all times. Blend in with it. Grow with it without carrying the weight of why your mental state feels a little bent and out of place. Nobody wants to get caught meditating or praying. Locate a private place of energy at work, home, in a park or in a mall. With your eyes wide open feel the atmosphere as it moves through you. Clearing the mind doesn't mean opening the heart. Protect the heart. There's enough bad mojo out here without you putting the poisons of society into places you can't easy shake. Mindfully be in the Now. You'll begin to recognize the importance and purpose of your deeper presence.
