Flying with Dad - Special July 4th Episode

In honor of July 4th in America, on today's podcast, I'm rerunning my Memorial Day 2022 episode with my amazing friend Yvonne Caputo. She is the author of "Flying with Day." This is not only the story of a WWII B-24 Navigator, but the story about the importance of listening. Michael Caputo was a member of "the greatest generation" and he had a story to tell. Fortunately for us, his daughter, Yvonne listened. This podcast is also about the importance of listening to your elders and learning from what they have to say. Yvonne's book can be found on Amazon, or your favorite place where books are sold.

In this episode from March of 2021, Tony Wechsler interviews Dave Sanderson on how to take your life from turmoil to triumph. Dave has an amazing story to tell, which includes how moments matter in you life. On January 15, 2009, Flight 1549 from New York City to Charlotte, North Carolina struck a flock of birds shortly after take-off, losing all engine power. Unable to reach any airport for an emergency landing, pilots Chesley Sullenberger and Jeffrey Skiles glided the plane safely into the Hudson River off Midtown Manhattan. This water landing of a powerless jet became known as the “Miracle on the Hudson.” Dave was one of the 155 people on that plane. You’ll hear about this, and so much more to help you learn to have a more positive life. You don't want to miss this interview. For more info on Dave, including how to get his books and even book him to speak at your event, he can be found at: https://davesandersonspeaks.com/Or find him on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hiredavesanderson/As always, you are invited to join the Strive to ThriveFacebook group for a supportive community.... https://www.facebook.com/groups/strivetothrivepage   BTW...If you love this episode, please take a screenshot, share it on your Facebook story and tag me @TonyWechsler And remember to download the eBook, Strive to Thrive at https://tonywcoaching.com/

Grief is something that is a part of life. We grieve all kinds of things, especially when it involves a significant loss. That can be the loss of a loved one, including a pet, a loss of a relationship,  even a loss of career, or a certain period in our lives. Everyone grieves in different ways, but in the end, we need to move forward with life in spite of the sadness and loss.

What exactly is “normal?” The dictionary defines it as “conforming to a standard; it’s all about being usual, typical, or expected.” Normal can be fine in some circumstances, but it also can be rather boring. When we settle for being normal or settle for less that we feel we deserve or desire, life can lose it’s passion.

Pivoting is defined as “to completely change the way in which one does something.” For example, a career pivot is a planned, purposeful change in career direction.

Imagine what life would be like if everything you did came out just the way you wanted it. Now, in everyone’s life, we have problems, challenges, and disappointments along the way. However, I’m a firm believer that Life happens FOR us and not TO us. Even the bad things can make us stronger, especially if we learn the lessons along the way. On today’s episode, Tony Wechsler and Lily Kharazian are going to discuss how. “Everything is working out for you.” Lily can be reached on Social Media at: https://www.instagram.com/_ultimateempowerment_https://www.facebook.com/Lili.M.kharazianAs always, you are invited to join the Strive to Thrive Facebook group for a supportive community.... https://www.facebook.com/groups/strivetothrivepage   BTW...If you love this episode, please take a screenshot, share it on your Facebook story and tag me @TonyWechsler And remember to download the eBook, Strive to Thrive at https://tonywcoaching.com/  

To be authentic means living in alignment with one's true self, values, and beliefs, rather than conforming to external pressures. But many people feel the need to conform to societal expectations or norms, which can lead to suppressing their true selves. This pressure can come from family, friends, work environments, or cultural frameworks. On today’s episode, Tony Wechsler and Sarah Carter are going to discuss,  “The struggle to be authentic” Sarah can be reached on social media: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100006470738333https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-carter-b65b6b24b/https://www.instagram.com/unmaskedblog/Or email her at: [email protected] always, you are invited to join the Strive to Thrive Facebook group for a supportive community.... https://www.facebook.com/groups/strivetothrivepage   BTW...If you love this episode, please take a screenshot, share it on your Facebook story and tag me @TonyWechsler And remember to download the eBook, Strive to Thrive at https://tonywcoaching.com/
