Teaching Children to Dream Big Through the art of Storytelling with Nathaniel Turner

17m · Inspirational Journeys: Stories that Matter · 27 Oct 13:00

Nathaniel A. Turner is a breath of fresh air. As one of the most entertaining and captivating Renaissance people of our day, he's sought after by organizations and individuals worldwide to share the tools, techniques, and strategies to live life in the present with joy on purpose. The Humanitarian Propulsion Engineer, College & Career Readiness Strategist, TED Speaker, and author's work includes the books: Raising Supaman, Stop the Bus, It's A Jungle Out There, Journey Forward, and The Amazing World of STEM. Nate shares an audio version of his unique style of envisioning and manifesting the best version of himself across numerous social media platforms. Everything Nate shares today was proofed and measured for nearly thirty years, beginning with endeavoring to give an unborn child a life better than he had. Successfully designing his child's life backward, he discovered that the process now known as 'The Life Template,' which includes a suite of academic and social tools, techniques, and strategies, might be helpful for others. It's worth noting that Turner's son not only met Harvard's admission benchmarks (i.e., test scores in the top 1%, 33 college credits by his junior year, proficiency in four languages, left home after his junior year to play soccer in Brazil, and started a foundation to address teen homelessness); he eviscerated the profiled criterion by his sixteenth birthday. Nate's son met the rigorous educational requirements of the top colleges and universities without means of wealth, privilege, legacy status, fraud, bribery, cheating, Affirmative Action, or Adobe Photoshop. His son earned acceptance to twenty-seven of America's best undergraduate colleges and universities, Ph.D. fellowships to seven of America's best engineering graduate schools, and MBA offers from four of America's top business schools. Today, Turner's son holds a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University. Furthermore, Turner's son is a first-year MBA student at NYU's Stern School of Business. Turner's 'Life Template' helped his son receive more than a million dollars in free education. Today, Nate teaches businesses, schools, not-for-profits, and families how to achieve any goal or objective, like being college and career ready through backward design. Nate's life mission is simple. First, he wants us to consider who we are and whether we are now who we want to be when we are no more. Second, he wants us all to embrace our responsibility to leave the planet better than it was when we arrived by helping, serving, and making sure all who encounter us know their lives matter.

King of Realms with Britt Asher

I reached out to todays special guest after reading the first book of her King of Realms series as part of the Hidden Gems ARC reader program. I fell in love with her dynamic characters and the fantasy world so much that I invited Brit Asher to share the story behind this series. Join us as we talk all things fantasy for middle grade readers and their families. Don’t forget to have your journal or notebook handy, because there are some golden nuggets about publishing and marketing you writers will want to take advantage of. Britt lives in the frigid wasteland known as Minnesota. While she hates the cold and snow, she appreciates the nice summers, the lack of lethal creepy crawlies, and the pretty forests and lakes. Outside of writing, she loves reading, high-speed walking, and high-speed walking while reading--yes, that’s a thing, and no, she hasn’t accidentally walked off a cliff (yet). One of her favorite places is Japan, where she lived for nearly three years and ate far too many sweet potatoes. Britt’s featured book is King of Realms. Varric has two weeks left to live. That’s the least of his problems. Twelve-year-old Varric wants nothing more than to save his mom’s life. After all, it’s his fault she’s dying. But when he breaks into a castle to steal a magical relic that might save her, the relic is stolen right out from under his nose. Even worse, he’s arrested for the theft. Unless he can find and return the missing relic within two weeks, he’ll be executed by a magical explosive on his wrist. As if that weren’t bad enough, Varric discovers that the relic is actually a key to an ancient prison containing a malicious and powerful creature. Varric’s quest to save himself and his mom turns into a race to keep the prison locked and save all of humanity from destruction.

The Role of Love with Paul Zolman

In today’s episode, my special guest describes the tool he created to teach children and adults to love one another as God loves us. Be journal to have your journal handy as you listen to this interesting conversation, because he shares a unique approach to outlining your book for plotters and plantsers alike. Paul Zolman is the international bestselling author of the Role of Love, but the true author of love is God. In His wisdom, He placed us in a variety of circumstances that require us to find our way back to His pure love. So, what qualifies me to speak about love? My childhood experience of the opposite of love. From that austere beginning, and the distaste it formed inside me, I searched for and eventually created a method that transformed my life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became my preferred love style, only because of the regularity. I could almost count on it. It was consistent. I came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, I knew that was a twisted belief. I wanted a better life for myself, which is why I created a paradigm shift that works. In this book, you’ll find what helped me move from a childhood boot camp of abuse to being a person who loves everyone and can find good about anyone in any circumstance. This is truly the role of love. I hope you join me.

Heidi Gray McGill Returns with A Deeper Love

Heidi Gray McGill is back with a brand new novel. This isn’t her true debut, because she’s self-published several books in her author career. However, A Deeper Love is her first traditionally published book with Celebrate Lit Publishing. Join us as we talk about her writing journey thus far, and her experience as a hybrid author. Heidi infuses God’s love into her award-winning Christian fiction works. Everything Heidi writes is purposeful. She believes in bringing a reader into an awareness of who God is to them and how He interacts with them on a personal level. She does this by crafting characters so relatable you feel part of who they are. Heidi’s masterfully written words reach deep into the reader’s heart and offer healing through God’s Word. McGill lives in a small town south of Charlotte, NC, with her husband of over thirty years. When not writing, Heidi loves playing with her grandsons, cooking, winning games, and exploring the world through books. Join Heidi on her latest adventures by visiting the blog on her website at https://heidigraymcgill.com/. Heidi’s latest novel is entitled A Deeper Love. I get paid to do my dream job, usually by wealthy men who thrive on adventure. But when their adrenaline rush is gone and vacation is over, I’m still here, on a tropical island, with people who mostly leave me alone. Except for this guy. Seriously, Dan is the last man I want to get involved with. If he got Decompression Illness, the doctors would likely call it Mercedes Bends. He’s privileged and entitled and would never leave his city life behind for the challenges of living on a remote Island. Don’t get me wrong—he’s prime shark bait, but I’m not ready to fall deeply in love with someone who won’t stay. There’s no such thing as “going too deep” where spiritual things are concerned. But I’ll stay at the surface and snorkel rather than dive into the depths when it comes to relationships.
