This practical podcast includes some swearing and targets Gen X (and adjacent) humans who remember the past and can handle the present. You are bright, involved, care about others, and somewhat horrified about America’s journey in the last few years (years, decades, I’ll let you choose). You don’t fear “other,” and you get pissed off when bullies win. And you often end the day feeling like you don’t know what the hell to do about any of it. Me too.

This podcast is a companion to the news. I recommend listening to The Daily Beans. They drop the facts, and I explain how to take action.

I’m here to share tips for surviving using a blend of interviews, coaching techniques, my business savvy, and my commitment to helping us maintain the resilience we’ll need for the rough times ahead. I focus on simplifying complex ideas and connecting the dots on the things that affect what was once affectionately called “the middle class.” Let’s call it anyone who wants to protect human rights, civil rights, and our democracy. I also do improv, so gloves off; I may make you laugh! You’re likely to enjoy the pod if you’re smart, GenX or GenX adjacent or GenZ (because we are eerily similar in many ways, and my GenZ daughter is the one who keeps telling me this). Extra points if you’re a man who believes in women.

I’ve been podcasting since 2018. My first show is called The Lawyer’s Daughter.

You’ll still see vestiges of the Lawyer’s Daughter brand as my audience travels with me (thank you). It all started with the arrest of the man who killed my dad and stepmom in 1980. Nearly 40 years later, this cold case was solved by DNA. Unfortunately, named the Golden State Killer (by someone who had no skin in the game), he was convicted, and my podcast helped change the outcome of the case for the better. I didn’t learn that until sentencing when his attorney pulled me aside and thanked me. That’s right, his attorney.

I just concluded a 100-Day “Do Something” Countdown for Harris Walz.

You might still enjoy some of those pods as I explored how things would change if Trump won. Sometimes being right really sucks. Most of my pods have blogs – so use the menus above to discover topics.

 

I’ve blogged about so many things. If you’re bored, search! You never know what you might find.

I am commited to providing sources in program notes and when possible, a companion blog. I am a writer first and citations matter. You should always know the difference between my opinion and what I’m reporting. I went to UC Davis (home of the red hot – the joke was we took notes on the first day while the instructor was simply saying “hello”). I am well trained.
