Episode #254 | David Johnson | When All Else Fails, Blame Your Mother

📚 GET YOUR BOOK PUBLISHED - Learn more about getting your book published or becoming a bestselling author: https://www.officialrogerbrooks.com/publishing ⌨️ Visit our website: americanrealpublishing.com 🔴 Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: http://bit.ly/2zVQDLO - How do you explore what it means to grow up in the shadows of trauma? To carry the weight of rejection and to somehow find a way through it all. Not just with scars, but with strength. That's the journey we're stepping into today. In this episode, we'll talk about post-traumatic stress syndrome, homophobia, family dysfunction, domestic violence, and the fragile but essential roads toward forgiveness and reconciliation. But this just isn't a story about pain. It's also about survival, storytelling, and the power of laughter to keep us sane. And it begins with a book. In 1978, the late Barbara Johnson, a bestselling Christian author, published a book called “Where Does a Mother Go to Resign?” Then later, the publisher changed the name to “When Your Child Breaks Your Heart.” A heartfelt but one sided account of her grief after her son came out as gay. That book touched the hearts of many, but it also told only half the story. Now, decades later, David Johnson, her son, is sharing the other half. David is an author, survivor, cinema therapist and behavior modification psychotherapist. His new book, “When All Else Fails, Blame Your Mother,” is a powerful and personal response to the narrative his mother left behind. It's an unfiltered, emotionally raw, and often hilariously biting look at trauma, family, and what it means to take your story back. He's also the founder of the Crown Bear Society and the creative force behind the YouTube channel, David The Cinema Therapist, where he uses film and humor as therapeutic tools to help others heal, especially within the LGBTQ+ community. This is a conversation about truth, about reclaiming your identity, and about how the stories we inherit don't have to define the ones we write for ourselves. On this episode of American Real, Roger asks David what inspired the title of his book. “My mother,” David says. “My mother has written over 20 books, and I started the official Barbara Johnson Library, which lists all of her books. And also in my book it lists her books. So once we had been able to bring some repairs to our relationship, then her career took off and she just wrote. Her titles are like, ‘I'm So Glad You Told Me What I Didn't Want to Know,’ and ‘Splashes Of Joy From The Cesspools Of Life,’ she was known for her crazy titles.” WHERE TO FIND DAVID: David’s Book: https://a.co/d/9i8alfB David’s Website: https://officialbarbarajohnsonlibrary.com/ David’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dpbradford/ David’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jesterdb - Roger L.

Episode #253 | Joseph Moore | Cultivating Ascension

How do we align our lives with purpose, presence, and peace in a world that often feels chaotic and distracted? These are the kinds of questions my next guest lives and teaches every day. Joining us today is Joseph Moore, a man of many paths. QiGong instructor, writer, teacher, artist, business owner, and explorer, his journey is one of integration. Blending ancient wisdom with modern practice and grounding spiritual ascension into tangible daily action. He's the bestselling author of “Cultivating Ascension,” a book that's less of a guidebook and more of a gentle wake-up call to slow down. Tune in and reconnect with what truly matters through QiGong journaling, self-reflection, and the daily discipline of intention. Joseph invites us to move from survival to expansion, from distraction to conscious presence. We'll talk today about the power of morning routines, the role of self-examination through tools like the Wheel of Life, and why focusing on the now is perhaps our most radical form of healing. And we'll explore how the raising of the collective consciousness isn't just an abstract ideal, but a very real antidote to the unrest of our times. This is a conversation about energy, alignment and choosing a higher path not just for ourselves, but for everyone we touch. On this episode of American Real, Roger asks Joseph about the backdrop of the purpose and the intention of how his book came to be. “Well, my background is in cultural, social anthropology,” Joseph says. ”And I have a doctorate in divinity, so obviously, my spirituality and my spiritual beliefs are very prominent within this book. But at the same time, I'm very open minded and objective about what other people believe and their influence on modern society. But the purpose of this particular book is just trying to redefine what it is for self-empowerment, what that looks like, and try to assist in finding a communication with everybody's authentic self and bringing that out into the open. And the steps from human to spirit is we all are seeking a connection with sought without, with the divine. What is it that makes us human, and trying to bring that into everyday life.” WHERE TO FIND JOSEPH: Joseph’s Book: https://a.co/d/1Vjjbzp Joseph’s Levity Life Website: https://www.levitylifellc.com/ Joseph’s Ithacan Stardust Website: https://ithacanstardust.com/ Joseph’s 90 Seconds of Wisdom Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/90secondsofwisdom/ Joseph’s The Mad Workshop Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_madworkshop/ - Roger L.

From political debates over inclusive education and systemic racism to controversies around corporate DEI programs being scaled back or cut entirely, there's a growing tension between those who want progress and those who push back against it. But beyond the headlines are real people; leaders, advocates and bridge builders who are doing the deep, often uncomfortable work of creating lasting change. And one of those leaders is our guest today, Cam Stewart. Cam is a recognized authority in diversity, inclusion and human rights, with over 25 years of experience spanning law enforcement, public service, and grassroots advocacy. His work has earned him numerous accolades, including the YMCA Peace Medal, the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Medal, and a Blackfoot name, Mikotsapinukum, meaning Red morning, an honor given for his contributions to indigenous equity and reconciliation. He's the president of Kanata Intercultural, Board President of StopHateAB and chair of the Rotary District 5360 Indigenous Relations Committee. And in April of this year, he became the bestselling author of his powerful new book, "Live to Die: A Journey in Diversity, Inclusion and Equity," which unpacks not only what DEI truly means, but also what it takes to lead with heart, courage and integrity. Cam's mission is simple but profound to spark brave conversations and help leaders use their privilege and power for positive change. On this episode of American Real, Roger asks Cam about how he flips the script based on his own experiences. "I've been living it," Cam says. "And I guess that's, as [a] straight white male, person who's kind of found my way, and fell into this work as serving as a policeman. I kind of fell into the work. And it found me more than I found it... and it kind of called me to said, you know, I need to learn more."

Companies facing supply chain disruptions, remote work challenges, and global uncertainties need flexible, adaptive negotiation frameworks. The stakes couldn't be higher, with research showing that organizations with strong negotiation cultures outperform their competitors by up to 25% in securing favorable terms and building sustainable partnerships. Our guest today has developed a groundbreaking approach that transcends conventional negotiation wisdom. His continuum-based framework adapts to the evolving dynamics of business and interpersonal relationships across all sectors, whether you're negotiating a multi-million dollar deal or navigating complex international relations. His new book, "Evolve or Be Slaughtered, Negotiation for the 21st Century," builds upon foundations laid by negotiation pioneers like Chester Karras, William Ury, and Chris Voss, but introduces innovative concepts designed for today's complex landscape and beyond. We'd like to welcome internationally recognized strategist and author, Derek Chevalier. On this episode of American Real, Roger asks Derrick about the scope of who could benefit from the skills of negotiaton that he's learned across his career. "Yeah, I think that's so important," Derrick says. "And one of the things I want to talk about and really announce to the world is that really any human interaction involves some part of negotiation. So the difference may be that a well-trained negotiator is aware of that, and somebody who doesn't recognize it doesn't even know that they're involved in a negotiation."

📚 GET YOUR BOOK PUBLISHED - Learn more about getting your book published or becoming a bestselling author: https://www.officialrogerbrooks.com/publishing ⌨️ Visit our website: americanrealpublishing.com 🔴 Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: http://bit.ly/2zVQDLO - In 1959, Fidel Castro overthrew the Cuban dictator Batista, launching what many believe would be a new era of freedom. But instead, Cuba descended into communism, aligning with the Soviet Union and becoming a flashpoint in Cold War history. Just two years later, the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, an attempt by U.S.-backed exiles to reclaim the island, marked one of the most pivotal and controversial chapters in U.S.-Cuba relations. Today's guest, Jose L. Gonzalez, brings this era vividly to life in his powerful book, 90 Miles 2.0, The Culprit of Communism in the Americas. Based on actual events, the story follows Pepe, once part of the Fidel Castro's inner circle, who escapes assassination attempts and flees to the US only to return as a CIA operative in a covert mission just before the Bay of Pigs. This is more than a historical thriller. It's a tragic love story, a gripping tale of survival, and a bold uncovering of truths long buried by history. On this episode of American Real, Roger asks Jose about his reaction of going through the writing and publishing process. "Yeah, it's been a lifelong effort," Jose says. "It's taken me 30 years to put all the facts together, get all the information, get some of the information that we actually put in the book declassified, as well as, you know, the effort of writing and rewriting and verification of facts and figures to get to this point. And when we published it the first time, there's some polishing that needed yet some to be done. And we finally did it with you and your publishing company."

Drawing from decades of hand-on experience, Paul helps global organizations discover fresh approaches to their work, make more intelligent decisions using data, and find the right balance between human talent and technology. Paul's new book, "The AI Alchemist," will help you gain an understanding of AI and ways to apply high-impact AI opportunities into your business. It will also cultivate essential human skills that complement AI capabilities, empowering you to lead essential human skills that complement AI capabilities, empowering you to lead effective change management for smooth integration. On this episode of American Real, Roger asks Paul about his thoughts regarding AI replacing human jobs. "It's a great question, and actually it's the number one question that I'm usually asked when I'm in front of a business leader or in front of an audience," Paul says. " 'Will I lose my job, or how is this going to impact me and my overall job?' If you just take a step back and look at this from an executive or your own personal growth perspective, there's disruption, it's a new technology. Disruption causes fear. There's fear of the unknown and there's fear of change related to that. What I typically see happening is the best business leaders out there are really not just looking at the technology and up your skills or go away for the 30 days and learn 30 applications. They're looking at, 'how do I blend this technology with people and processes?' It's like a 3 legged stool. And is really a foundational component. AI is going to displace jobs, there's no doubt about it, but it's also going to create new jobs and augment existing jobs as well too. So according to the World Economic Forum last year, they're predicting over the next two years, 97 million new jobs will be created in this whole AI industry. Analytics, data, user experience, different ways of working with content. All these new startups are gonna be emerging and creating these new jobs. Existing jobs, if you think about our country, in the US, there's about 136 million employees in North in our United States right now. 80% of them are about 100 million are knowledge workers. So, those are the people that do marketing, sales, HR, writers, service-based, financial professions, doctors, right? So, 80% or 100 million of those people are going to be AI-assisted over the next couple of years. So it's going to augment existing jobs and activity."

He spent his life embracing adventure through surfing, water skiing and scuba diving. A proud Texan, Rick is a father to three children and a grandfather to seven. Today, we'll explore both his groundbreaking work and hydrotherapy and the fascinating story behind his compelling novel. On this episode of American Real, Roger asks Rick what gave him the passion to start writing his book. "I'm the kind of person that I'm motivated when you tell me I can't do something, I'm going to prove you wrong and I can do it," Rick says. "I've been like that my whole life. When I went through high school and college, English was not my best subject. I was very good in math and fraternities, but English was not my best subject. When I got out into the business world, I took this aptitude test and I tested very high on it and I realized that you didn't have to be book smart to be smart, and I was tested out that I have a very abstract reasoning mind. And so I identify problems, come up with solutions easy. I was just sitting around one day and it wasn't long after Hurricane Ike hit here, I just wanted to always write a novel. So I started writing. It took me a long time to write, but I finished it up last year. And I'd start and get busy, start again, get busy. And I'd have to go back, and every time I'd go back and restart, I'd have to read it to see where I was and look at all my notes to get back on. I have a good imagination and I just, you know, started putting notes down, kind of put an outline down on what I want to do and that's what came out. When I sat down to write the novel, I had no idea what I was going to write about, but that's what came out and I had fun doing it."

G. Russell Gaynor, author of "The Forge" Trilogy, "Shadow Guardians" book series. Discovered the power of storytelling at just five years old when he wrote his first story to prove to his grandmother that he could outdo the movies. Inspired by his parents, his father, a Navy man who taught resilience, and his mother, a nurse who instilled compassion. G. Russell's early influences shaped his love for crafting tales that explore the lessons of love. And life from role-playing games to comic books. His creative journey has been fueled by a passion for connecting with audiences through his stories, with four books, 20 screenplays, 2 plays, and countless poems. G Russell continues to captivate and inspire. On this episode of American Real, Roger asks G. Russell to reminisce on his earliest memories of his grandmother, and how his journey of storytelling began. "Well, I'm very fortunate that I have a close-loving family and spending Summers with my grandmother. It was eye-opening, and you would think after the lessons I had learned before that point that I would have kept my mouth shut, but no... as far as the writing was concerned. I wanted to watch cartoons. She wanted to watch black and white movies.... And I told that her black and white movies are boring and I could tell better stories with an arm tied behind my back... She got me a stack of pads and a box of pencils and said 'prove it.' So there I was, Charlie Brown style... and when I finished one pad I looked up and she had that tilted head look like, 'What is this kid doing?' So she started reading, and I'm on the second pad, and she stops me from writing and basically [says,] 'Get your jacket, let's go.' We walk to the local library, she pulls down The Three Musketeers and reads it to me... it just blew my mind, and I've been chasing good stories ever since." WHERE TO FIND G. RUSSELL: G.

Yet today's guest embodies all three. Dennis J. Henson is the founder and president of Vanguard Marketing and Investments, a renowned leader in both the real estate and personal growth industries, and an educator who has transformed the lives of countless individuals. With over 30 years of experience, Dennis has not only built a successful career but also cultivated a philosophy that empowers others to strive for more. When asked what's had the greatest impact on his students, his answer was simple yet profound: “Form the habit of reading something every day that educates or inspires.” That philosophy is at the heart of his latest book, “Real Impact: Daily Inspiration.” Over the years, Dennis has collected quotes, poems, and empowering stories that moved him personally. His new book shares 32 captivating stories, over 100 inspiring quotes and timeless wisdom, offering readers a powerful foundation for growth, success and fulfillment. Dennis’s approach is rooted in a belief he calls “law of nature,” the idea that planting seeds of health, success and prosperity in our minds will lead to a harvest of abundance multiplied many times over. On this episode of American Real, Roger asks Dennis about the imagery inside and the attention to detail that he took when packaging the book so nicely. "At the end of a podcast where I had answered [this] question... I said, you know, 'form the habit of reading everyday, something that moves you towards your ultimate goal.' After that podcast I thought, 'Wouldn't it be great that someone came up with a tool? You know, an app, or a book.' And then it hit me. I said, 'goodness, I've been collecting poems, quotes and success stories for many many years. I can do this. I can take these things I already have and put them together and in 3 months I'll have a book, andwe'll be able to go from there.' Well, that was in 2018 and it got published this year. So for the next 5 and 1/2 years I spent time refining and and changing and taking out things and putting in new things and doing research. The hardest part of putting the book together was I had a hundred stories and if I had put all all of them in there the book would have been, you know, an encyclopedia."

Well, when Covid happened I had more free time than I've ever had as an adult that I can even remember.

Episode #239 | Dr. Emilio Justo | The Power of Pause

📚 GET YOUR BOOK PUBLISHED - Learn more about getting your book published or becoming a bestselling author: https://www.officialrogerbrooks.com/publishing ⌨️ Visit our website: americanrealpublishing.com 🔴 Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: http://bit.ly/2zVQDLO - In an era characterized by the relentless pursuit of immediate satisfaction, the digital world has drastically shortened our attention spans and has amplified our desires for instant rewards. A term called 'delayed gratification' is a concept deeply rooted in our psychological makeup, and in an American culture that values speed over depth and immediate pleasure over lasting fulfillment. This philosophical approach is not only increasingly overlooked, it is often ignored. Through meticulously curated blend of a lifetime of practice and research, philosophical insights and transformative real life stories, today's guest Dr. Emilio Justo sheds light on how the intentional act of pausing and serve is a powerful catalyst for growth. In essence, it's a place where instant gratification goes back to school and into a retoolment period whereby it resurfaces to the world in an entirely new way. In his new best-selling book, "THE POWER OF PAUSE: Mastering Delayed Gratification for Success," Dr. Justo invites his readers on an introspective journey, challenging them to recalibrate their internal compasses and align their actions with their most profound aspirations. Once mastered, this newfound skill promises to unlock unparalleled levels of personal and professional achievement. Dr. Justo's life story is an inspiration. He was born in Cuba and fled as a refugee with his parents to the US, overcoming poverty and discrimination, and has achieved super success as an eye physician, cosmetic surgeon, two-time international TEDx speaker, best-selling author, master teacher and visionary. On this episode of American Real, Roger asks Dr. Justo as to why Dr. Justo chose to pursue becoming an author in addition to a speaker and a surgeon. "I get that question quite often. I even question myself with that very same question and truly I think what it's been is again going along the concept of delayed gratification," Dr. Justo says. "In the first half of my career professional career I made some good decisions and I made some really bad decisions that the second half of my career is when I really excelled and I learned from my mistakes. I embrace those mistakes and as my wife repeatedly tells me that I made lemonade out of all the lemons that I was dealt. But certainly, I'm very proud of what I've accomplished and so I started thinking, you know, especially raising our kids. It's been probably the biggest challenge in my life. It is not really fully realizing how difficult in today's society it is, raising teenagers in particular, and so this whole concept of the delayed gratification really started hitting... I try and talk to them and explain to them. And you know, they nod their head and they seemingly agree but in reality they don't, because I see their actions and I see what they say, and so they just don't get it. They just don't get it. So so as a result I first decided to venture in the way of the TEDx stage and that happened purely by in a sense just by luck... here it is, now August. We're what, seven, eight months into it? And it's now exceeded over 6 million views. But even prior to that, you know I saw the momentum that it was gaining and that's what started me thinking, 'hey, you know maybe I need to write a book about this and see if I can expand upon the concepts which I started.'"

"I would drive over that bridge to go from one side of the harbor to the other and and I found it to be a beautiful drive," Bob says.
