LOA Today - Your Daily Dose Of Happy

At 81 years old, Matthew Lesko radiates a youthful exuberance that belies his age. As Walt Thiessen discovered in their captivating conversation, Matthew's secret lies not in any anti-aging elixir, but in the unwavering passion that has fueled his life's work. For decades, Matthew has been a familiar face on late-night television, hawking books that promised to unlock the secrets of tapping into government funding. But as Walt learned, Matthew's mission extends far beyond mere financial gain. It is a labor of love, driven by a deep-seated desire to help others navigate the complex web of social services and government assistance programs. "I see the need so much, and there's more need now than ever before," Matthew shared, his voice brimming with conviction. "We create more poor people in our country than any other developed country." This stark reality has only strengthened his resolve to be a beacon of hope for those struggling to make ends meet. What sets Matthew apart is not just his wealth of knowledge, but the authenticity and vulnerability he brings to his work. "If your heart's not in it, Oh, that's right, that's right, you didn't have the heart before, remember that, right?" he mused, underscoring the importance of finding one's true passion. For Matthew, that passion was ignited by the failures he faced early in his career – a failed software company, a string of unsuccessful business ventures. But rather than letting these setbacks define him, he embraced them as opportunities for growth. "Failure, you know, that's where you learn," he explained. "That's something you won't do again, like the stove being hot and you burn yourself." This willingness to learn from mistakes and pivot accordingly has been the hallmark of Matthew's journey. As he shared, it was only after stumbling and struggling that he discovered his true calling – not in the pursuit of wealth, but in the joy of helping others."I just see the need so much, and there's more need now than ever before," he said, his eyes shining with a deep empathy. "That's what I feel. I love telling people where to go." And go, he has – from connecting people with local resources for rent, healthcare, and legal aid, to providing grants and laptop computers through his organization, "Let's Go Help." Matthew's vision extends beyond mere transactions; it is a holistic approach rooted in the belief that the heart holds the key to true fulfillment."My favorite one is your heart smarter than your brain," he shared, encapsulating the essence of his message. "So listen to that guy." As Walt and Matthew's conversation drew to a close, it was clear that Matthew's legacy extends far beyond the question-mark suits and late-night infomercials. It is a legacy of compassion, resilience, and the unwavering belief that when we lead with our hearts, the path to purpose and happiness becomes illuminated.

As an educator, Rene's unwavering dedication to his craft is truly awe-inspiring. In a captivating conversation with host Walt, Rene shared his remarkable journey, revealing how a chance encounter with a German teacher ignited his lifelong love for teaching. Rene's path was not a straight one - he initially pursued engineering and architecture, until his passion for languages led him down an unexpected route. "Learning German was one of the good things that happened," he reflected, crediting his teacher's innovative approach of ensuring every student contributed orally in class. This emphasis on building confidence resonated deeply with Rene, shaping his own teaching philosophy. "I teach languages, and the aim of learning a language is to speak it more than to write it," Rene explained. "One of the biggest fears for anyone learning a language is to speak it, because you're scared of pronouncing the words wrong, people are going to laugh at you." His solution? Fostering an environment where mistakes are celebrated, not shunned. Rene's genuine care for his students shines through in every word. He spoke of a challenging student, Ryan, who was a "real challenge for the whole school" - until Rene's compassionate approach broke through. "Because you're not like them," Ryan told Rene, revealing how the teacher's personal connection and willingness to engage with students on a human level set him apart. This sentiment lies at the heart of Rene's teaching philosophy. "I don't think we can teach any student if we don't establish first of all, a relationship, a connection with them on a human level," he shared. "So that they see you more as someone who wants good things for them and then they will be more willing to follow your guidance and learn from you." Rene's dedication extends beyond the classroom walls. Recognizing the gaps in traditional education, he has taken it upon himself to teach his students essential life skills like personal finance - topics he wishes he had learned earlier. "I'm teaching them so that they are very grateful, very grateful and very receptive as well," he said. As Walt and co-host Jody Lynn reflected, Rene's approach is a stark contrast to the trauma many carry from their own school experiences. "I wouldn't have as much of a job to do, probably not any job to do, really, when it comes to that, because dealing with money, that's primarily what I coach on," Jody Lynn shared. "They're just numbers. And that is primarily what I teach is to separate or to disconnect from that. Oh, that number means whatever about me. And you're doing it live with these kids." Rene's unwavering passion and dedication to empowering his students is truly inspiring. Through his story, he reminds us of the profound impact a single teacher can have, not just on their students, but on the world around them. As Jody Lynn eloquently stated, "Thank you for what you're doing is because you're making a difference."

When a freak accident left Kenneth Kunken paralyzed from the neck down at just 20 years old, the prognosis was bleak. Doctors told him the best he could hope for was a life-selling magazine subscription over the phone. But Kenneth had other plans. Over the next 54 years, Kenneth would defy all odds, earning multiple degrees, building a successful 40-year career as a prosecutor, and even becoming a father to triplet sons. Through it all, he maintained an unwavering spirit and commitment to living life to the fullest. As Walt Thiessen, host of the Elevate Today podcast, discovered, Kenneth's story is one of resilience, gratitude, and the power of the human mind. "You cannot always control what happens to you, but you can control how you react to it," Kenneth shared. That positive mindset was instilled in Kenneth from a young age. After losing his mother to polio as an infant, he was raised by grandparents who "overflowed with love" and taught him to always look on the bright side. That foundation served him well when faced with the devastating reality of his spinal cord injury. "I choose to be happy," Kenneth declared. "I get up each day and I know that I've got a choice to make...I could feel very sad and depressed all day, or I could think about all the good things in my life and decide that it's going to be a good day and that I could feel happy." That positive attitude, combined with the unwavering support of his family and friends, propelled Kenneth forward. He refused to let his disability define him, going on to earn degrees, build a career in public service, and even start a family of his own through in-vitro fertilization. "I've had a lot of help and a lot of support every step in the way, but that's how we were brought up," Kenneth explained. "We have a choice, and we chose to be happy and to make the most of what was sometimes a bad situation, but many times was a terrific situation." For Walt, Kenneth's story was a powerful reminder of the importance of maintaining high expectations - both for ourselves and for others. "Just because something has not been done before doesn't mean you cannot do it now," Kenneth advised. "So don't listen to the naysayers. Don't listen to people who tell you you can't do something, or that it's just too difficult." As the conversation drew to a close, Walt expressed gratitude not only for Kenneth's direct impact, but for the countless others he has inspired through his book and his story. "There are many people you've been able to help that you never met, ever seen, never will meet, never will see, and you've been helping them in ways you even know about," Walt shared. It's a testament to the transformative power of one man's unbreakable spirit. Through tragedy and triumph, Kenneth Kunken has shown that the impossible is possible - if only we have the courage to dream.

In a captivating conversation on the LOA Today podcast, Walt Thiessen welcomed Alicia Farricielli, a Life Coach and Intuitive Healing Coach, to share her remarkable journey of personal growth and self-discovery. Alicia's story is a testament to the power of embracing one's intuition and the transformative impact it can have on one's life. Alicia's path began in a strict, fear-based, and conservative upbringing, which she describes as a significant challenge in her early years. "I was born into so much fear-based mentality, and that really brought me down as a child," Alicia shared. However, her determination to break free from this limiting mindset led her on a profound healing journey. As Alicia navigated through various careers, from marketing to real estate, she found herself repeatedly facing the same problems and feeling deeply unhappy. It was a pivotal moment when Alicia reached a breaking point, realizing that something had to change. "I was just completely miserable. In fact, I tell the story is when I'm just sitting on my floor and I was like, you know, God, universe, whatever you don't call, I can't do this anymore. It's either something's gotta change or I'm done, literally done living," she recounted. This moment of reckoning sparked Alicia's transformation, as she began to explore the world of intuition and energy work. Through the guidance of a coach, Alicia discovered the power of meditation, breath work, and inner child healing. "Within 90 days, she actually introduced me to energy work, meditation. So breath work stuff. And so I just, like, grasped onto that, and it changed my entire life in 90 days," Alicia revealed, highlighting the remarkable impact of these practices. As Alicia delved deeper into her intuitive journey, she realized the importance of balancing logic and intuition. "We have to have a balance of that, because we are human beings. And so some people, they're not quite as in tune with their intuitive abilities. So they need that logic to back it up, to give it almost an okay, to make it feel safe for them to be able to do it," she explained. Walt and Alicia also discussed the challenges of overcoming the victim mentality, a common obstacle many individuals face. Alicia emphasized the need to process emotions and not suppress them, as this can lead to physical and emotional health issues. "If we can just push it off to the side, push it off to the side, push it off the side, and never deal with it, and keep going on this rat race people is getting so much comfortable for them to do that and to actually spend a little bit extra time healing," she shared. Throughout the conversation, Alicia's passion for her work and her unwavering belief in the power of intuition shone through. Her story serves as an inspiration for those seeking to unlock their own intuitive abilities and embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery.

One Man's Extraordinary Journey of TransformationWhat do a criminal lawyer, a Shaolin Priest, and a carnival worker have in common? In the case of Bob Martin, the answer is a remarkable life story filled with twists, turns, and an unexpected path to inner peace. Walt Thiessen's conversation with Bob revealed a captivating tale of resilience, reinvention, and the power of mindfulness. Growing up in the colorful world of amusement parks and cotton candy, Bob's early life was shaped by his Hungarian immigrant father and Roma gypsy mother, who had both endured unimaginable hardship. This turbulent upbringing led Bob to question the existence of a higher power, setting him on a lifelong journey of self-discovery. After a successful career as a prosecutor in Miami's notorious "cocaine cowboy" era, Bob found himself on the brink of burnout, his personal life in shambles. It was then that a chance encounter with a therapist, who also happened to be the English language editor of a Shaolin Priest, would change the course of his life forever. "He pulls out a bunch of coins and starts throwing them on the table and counting them up and making some calculations and drawing lines," Bob recounted. "Finally, he comes up with a number like 32 and he picks up this book, and he opens it to chapter 32 and he shows it to me, and it name of the chapter was 'retreat.'" This pivotal moment led Bob to the Shaolin Temple, where he spent eight transformative years studying under the guidance of Master Wu. It was here that Bob learned the art of living in the "zone" – a state of effortless mastery and joy that would become the foundation of his future teachings. "Master Wu lived his entire life in the zone," Bob shared. "His conversations were in the zone. And in Taoism, there's an expression, Wu, Wei, W, E, I, which means doing, not doing. It means you don't do anything, but nothing remains undone." Today, Bob's journey has come full circle, as he shares the lessons he's learned with students at Elon University, guiding them through the practice of meditation and mindfulness. But his impact extends far beyond the classroom, as he prepares to launch a new podcast, "A Wise and Happy Life," aimed at helping others navigate the complexities of the modern world. "People tend to not engage in what's going on around them, and there's kind of a growing ignorance of how the systems that they live in work, and that itself creates unhappiness and anxiety," Bob explained. Through his work, Bob is not only transforming individual lives but also addressing the broader societal issues that contribute to our collective unease. By encouraging a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us, he is paving the way for a more joyful and fulfilling existence. As Walt and Jodielynn Craven's conversation with Bob came to a close, one thing was clear: this is a man who has truly mastered the art of living, and his story is a testament to the power of resilience, reinvention, and the transformative potential of the human spirit.

In a captivating conversation on the LOA Today podcast, host Walt Thiessen welcomed Kylie Weathers, a woman whose personal story is a testament to the power of resilience and self-acceptance. Kylie's journey, marked by a rollercoaster of experiences, from being raised in a conservative Mormon household to exploring her sexuality and navigating the complexities of her identity, is a poignant reminder that our paths are not always linear, but rather a tapestry of growth and transformation. As Kylie shared her story, Walt was struck by the depth of her emotional journey, asking, "How does a parent decide to react that way?" Kylie's response was both heartbreaking and insightful, as she delved into the fear and misunderstanding that often drive such reactions within conservative communities. "It was the fear, the fear, and honestly, that's a lot of my own deconstruction, because I had to deconstruct my own religion as well," she explained. Kylie's willingness to confront her past and the limiting beliefs that had shaped her life was a testament to her courage. She spoke candidly about the pain of feeling rejected and abandoned by her own community, and the toll it took on her mental and emotional well-being. "It was so much grief to it, so much grief," she shared, her voice thick with emotion. Yet, Kylie's story is not one of defeat, but of triumph. Through her journey of self-discovery, she has emerged as a beacon of hope, not only for herself but for her community. "Queer joy for me, I actually even went to TikTok and went live and just asked folks, what do you call it? And all in all, pretty much same conclusion I'm saying now, queer joy is just existing. It's belonging, it's acceptance, it's existing, it's existence," she said, her words brimming with conviction. Jodie Lynn, Kylie's co-host, was deeply moved by the resilience and self-acceptance that Kylie had cultivated. "I think the world needed the message of, I accept me, I love me, and when I'm going to steal your words for this moment, but when we begin to exist that way, it's a beautiful way to exist," she said, her voice filled with admiration. As the conversation drew to a close, Walt shared a powerful message on behalf of those who have been touched by Kylie's story, even if they remain unseen. "On behalf of those people you haven't met, haven't seen, never will meet, never will see who you've been helping in ways you don't even know about. Thank you for what you're doing, because you are making a difference in this world." Kylie's journey is a testament to the transformative power of self-acceptance and the importance of creating spaces where individuals can feel seen, heard, and celebrated for who they are. Her story is a reminder that our paths may be winding, but the resilience within us can guide us towards a more authentic and fulfilling existence.

In a captivating conversation, Walt Thiessen and Joel Elston delved into the profound topic of gifts, exploring the nuances of how we perceive and harness our unique abilities. The discussion took an unexpected turn, unveiling the challenges faced by those who seem to have it all, and the remarkable resilience of the human spirit. Joel shared his fascination with the intricate workings of ants, drawing a parallel to the innate gifts and talents each person possesses. "Every single ant had a thing to do, and they knew how to do it," he mused, highlighting the idea that we, too, are endowed with unique abilities, often unrecognized or underutilized. The conversation then shifted to the perils of comparison, a trap that many of us fall into when we measure our gifts against those of others. "Everybody compares the gifts," Joel noted, "like some very good looking people. Wow, they look so fantastic a lot of people, so I don't look as good as them, but yet they, you know, that becomes sort of a measurement." Walt shared his own experience with his towering height, a gift that he initially perceived as a hindrance, only to later embrace it through the eyes of others. "I can't go to the store without somebody appreciating it," he said, highlighting the importance of shifting our perspective and finding gratitude in the very things we once saw as burdens. The discussion delved deeper, exploring the challenges faced by those born into wealth and privilege. Joel shared insights into the struggles of "trust fund babies," who often find themselves trapped in a gilded cage, unable to find purpose or passion. "They have access to everything, and you can get your hands on everything. So a lot of them have some awakenings, like, I don't want to wake up. And there's usually, even within that great wealth, there's usually a catalyst, like, I am sick of waking up at one o'clock every afternoon in my own vomit." The conversation culminated in a poignant story of a man who, after losing his daughter to a rare and fatal disease, dedicated his life to finding a cure, ultimately developing a vaccine and selling the patent for a mere $1, ensuring that it would be available to all who needed it. "What a legacy," Walt marveled, "what a life well lived." This powerful exchange serves as a reminder that our gifts, whether perceived as blessings or burdens, are the very tools we can use to transform our lives and make a lasting impact on the world around us. The key lies in embracing our unique talents, finding purpose in our passions, and refusing to be defined by the expectations of others.

In a captivating conversation on the "LOA Today" podcast, host Walt Thiessen and co-host Anne Marie Young delved into the profound insights of Dr. Axa Yox, author of the thought-provoking book "Stop Calling It Comfort Zone: Be Uncomfortable to Be Comfortable." The discussion began with Dr. Axa sharing her own personal story of transformation, a journey that took her from the heights of scientific success to the depths of personal struggle. "I was very successful in science," she recounted, "with 12 inventions, being nominated as a person of extraordinary ability, and winning the first prize. But I decided I was ready for the real life, and I failed miserably." This powerful admission struck a chord, as Walt and Anne Marie recognized the universal truth that failure is often the catalyst for growth and self-discovery. "It's so different when you find what you love and you just follow that, even if you fail," Dr. Axa shared. "You consider it a good lesson learned." The conversation delved deeper, exploring the concept of the "comfort zone" and how it can often be a misnomer. "We unconsciously send the message to our brain that we are comfortable to be unhappy, unhealthy and unfulfilled," Dr. Axa explained. "So what are the chances that you would ever try to quit your comfort zone? You will sabotage yourself, because your subconscious reads that this is your comfort zone." The trio discussed the importance of self-acceptance and forgiveness, with Dr. Axa emphasizing the power of looking in the mirror and saying, "I'm sorry. I failed. I didn't know what was better." This act of self-compassion, she believes, is the foundation for true growth and transformation. As the discussion progressed, Walt and Anne Marie were captivated by Dr. Axa's insights, with Walt acknowledging the profound impact her words were having on the listeners. "On behalf of those people you've never met, never seen, never will mean never will see, who've been helped in ways you didn't even know about. On their behalf. Thank you very much for what you've been doing." The conversation concluded with a sense of hope and inspiration, as Dr. Axa shared her plans to continue her work through books, courses, and one-on-one coaching. "They can find me, and also on LinkedIn. I'm very active there, and I'm starting, actually, the I'm doing the one on one, and I'm starting the classes, the courses, it's ready. It's unbelievable. And we are doing with many people, a lot, and the testimonials are unbelievable, like, wow."

Walt Thiessen and Jodi Lynn welcomed the talented Kris Keppeler, an actor and narrator, to discuss the transformative power of storytelling and the parallels between the stage and real life. Kris's journey began with a passion for singing, which she initially struggled with, facing discouragement from teachers who doubted her abilities. However, her unwavering determination and a chance encounter with a Gilbert and Sullivan production ignited a newfound love for the performing arts. "I enjoyed it. And then I started taking singing lessons again. And then, of course, I want to be at the front of the stage after a while, so then I had to take acting lessons, and it just snowballed from there," Kris shared. As the discussion delved deeper, the trio explored the emotional and psychological aspects of acting, with Kris revealing the challenges of fully embodying a character. "I literally felt freaked out," she said, recounting her experience with simulated training exercises that required her to tap into the emotions of a traumatized individual. This insight highlighted the profound impact that the creative process can have on the performer, both on and off the stage. Jodi Lynn, a self-proclaimed former performer, shared her own experiences with the performing arts, noting how it helped her overcome her fear of public speaking. "I love public speaking. I used to do a lot of public speaking for my job. Oh, cool. And yeah, so I've done a little dabbling, but nothing crazy. I've told that I have, I have a, like, a sexy phone operator voice, so I shouldn't do voiceover, yeah," she said, showcasing her own unique talents. The conversation then turned to the power of storytelling and its ability to captivate audiences. Kris spoke about her work on a children's animation project, where she voiced the character of an earthworm, and the challenges of maintaining a consistent character voice. "I love doing children's stuff and but staying in that voice for 10 minutes. That's a harsh voice. That's a tough one, that it was not easy," she admitted. As the discussion drew to a close, Walt offered a poignant observation, acknowledging the unsung impact that Kris and others like her have on the lives of their audience members. "You're making a difference in this world. You're welcome," he said, highlighting the profound and often unseen ways in which artists can inspire and uplift those around them. The conversation with Kris Keppeler was a testament to the transformative power of the performing arts and the resilience of the human spirit. Through their shared experiences and insights, the trio reminded us that the stage and real life are inextricably linked, and that by embracing our inner performers, we can unlock new levels of personal growth and fulfillment.

In a captivating conversation, Walt Thiessen and Joel Elston delved into the intricate web of resistance that often holds us back from achieving our true potential. The discussion was a masterclass in navigating the complexities of the human mind and the subconscious patterns that can either propel us forward or keep us trapped in the familiar. The conversation began with Walt's observation that the topic of resistance was one they had explored countless times, yet each time, it led them down a new and unexpected path. Joel echoed this sentiment, highlighting the innate human tendency to resist change, even when it's in our best interest. "The brain has a natural resistance to change," he explained, "because changes sort of violate the homeostasis clause in the body." As the discussion progressed, Walt and Joel shared poignant examples of how resistance manifests in our lives, from the young man hesitant to pursue his dream of working in the tech industry to Joel's own friend who struggled to ask out a potential romantic partner. These stories illuminated the deep-rooted nature of our resistance, often stemming from past experiences and a desire to protect ourselves from further pain or disappointment. One particularly insightful moment came when Joel shared the concept of "resistance patterns" – the subconscious programming that can keep us stuck in cycles of behavior, even when we consciously desire change. "Everything you worry about is based on subconscious previous memories and fears," he explained, highlighting the importance of accessing and reprogramming the subconscious mind. The conversation also touched on the role of synchronicity and the missed opportunities that can arise when we fail to recognize the signs and signals the universe is sending our way. Walt and Joel emphasized the importance of being open to these synchronistic moments and following the path that resonates with our deepest desires, even if it means stepping outside our comfort zones. Throughout the discussion, the underlying message was clear: the key to overcoming resistance lies in our willingness to confront our fears, challenge our limiting beliefs, and embrace the unknown. As Walt so eloquently stated, "If you want to change the subconscious patterning that you've been building up all these years that is working against what you really want in life, you gotta take that huge step and not just put a toe out. You gotta jump completely outside of that comfort zone." In the end, the conversation left the listener with a renewed sense of hope and a deeper understanding of the transformative power that lies within each of us. By embracing the journey of self-discovery and being willing to face our resistance head-on, we can unlock the doors to a life of fulfillment, joy, and endless possibilities.

In a captivating discussion on LOA Today, host Walt Thiessen and guest Allison Yamamoto delved into the profound complexities of women's health, nutrition, and the power of self-acceptance. The conversation was a poignant exploration of the challenges and triumphs that women face in their pursuit of holistic well-being. Allison, the founder and CEO of the Ally Method, shared her personal journey and the inspiration behind her mission to empower women to feel confident and in control of their bodies. "I think a lot of times, what I've seen in practice is women intentionally are not making mistakes when it comes to navigating their diet and navigating their nutrition and exercise in ways that might actually be harmful to their goals," Allison revealed, highlighting the common pitfalls that women often encounter. The discussion delved into the overwhelming amount of information available on nutrition and the importance of finding credible sources that speak to one's individual needs. "There's almost too much information, because then what ends up happening is sort of this combination of things," Allison explained. "One is, it's easy to take on advice and apply it to yourself because you think it sounds attractive, or you think it sounds like they're promising something that would be amazing, and then not realize that that is actually something that isn't relevant to you specifically or to the person, your persona, your activity level, your gender, all these other things are factors that come into play." Listener Anne Marie Young shared her own experiences, resonating with the challenges of navigating the ever-changing landscape of nutrition advice. "I think with the whole hormonal battle that a woman has with their bodies, month by month and later on, with perimenopause, menopause is just how much your cravings and how much your Food and your needs did they change dramatically during the cycle?" she asked, underscoring the importance of understanding the unique needs of women's bodies. Allison's response highlighted the power of tuning into one's own body and using the menstrual cycle as a "secret superpower" to gain valuable insights into one's health.

In a captivating conversation on the "LOA Today" podcast, hosts Walt and Joel delved into the profound topic of failure and its role in personal growth. With raw honesty and insightful perspectives, they challenged the traditional notions of failure, unveiling its transformative potential. Joel shared his personal journey, recounting how he had to "reprogram" his mindset around failure, recognizing it as a "growth tool" rather than a negative outcome. He emphasized the importance of embracing failure, drawing parallels to his experiences as a gymnast, where perfection is the ultimate goal. "To be a gymnast at my level, I fail 99.9% of the time. Failure is the only option. Until you get it perfect at that level, it's perfect," he explained, highlighting the mindset shift required to thrive in such a demanding field.

They emphasized the importance of perspective, with Joel stating, "I believe your perspective dictates your reality, and also your perspective dictates your understanding of various things."

The story of the family with nine children, all of whom maintained perfect school attendance despite the challenging living environment, served as a testament to the body's remarkable capacity for self-preservation. Throughout the conversation, Walt and Joel's genuine enthusiasm and openness to exploring new ideas shone through, leaving the listener with a sense of inspiration and a renewed appreciation for the transformative power of failure and perspective.
