Description

How are Wrangler jeans and boots like protons and atoms?Coping with a loss we don't understand will never look the same for any two people. Dorian Johnson lost his son in 2017, and shares the story of that day. He goes on to energetically share his learnings, and ways he found to cope with the grief. He has gone on to inspire others with his co-authored book: "The View From Abovve; one fathers memoir of grief guided to grace."His other solo book is: A Day in the Life of Grief; the 10 most common misconceptions of grief. Soon to be released is book number three: The Truth About Loss - which is about the secondary losses we feel from out experiences. Find out why Johnson says Virtues are what make us who we are. His simple message of healing dabbles on the side of science, and makes great sense when it comes from Johnson himself. Kindness can be a manifestation of power . . . . Dorian Johnson

Lisa David Olson has two decades of writing and performing comedy experience, as well as speaking on how humor saved her life. Be the nosy neighbor and listen in as she interviews people she barely knows, (or hasn't yet met) to hear about their weird life stories or quirky careers. There's a lady who says she can communicate with your dog, a man who used to be a zen monk, and even a guy from Russia who gave himself up for adoption at age 9.Expect a few laughs sprinkled in as guests are invited to share a prank or embarrassing moment too. When your host is a bold and curious beast - anything goes. This podcast is an offshoot of Lisa's project in bravery, called Serious Selfies With Strangers; where a dare for a non-smiling photo with someone she had not yet met always created a moment of laughter, and often forged the way to new friendships that would never have been.Books available; Laughs On Wry; an improvisor's memoir and What If's and Why Nots; a journal full of creative cues to unravel stuck moments.
