  • CHRISTINE WHISLER GONE GOOD
    Jan 21 2026
    Christine Whisler went from reporting the bad news to spreading some good news through her company Southern-Palm Communications in Tampa, Florida. She helps companies - specifically philanthropies - find and uplift their own good voice. That's what she came on to join us to talk about - and yes, we do - but then something else happened, right in the moment, when she went to answer a question about expectations. And that something turned into pure magic as she shares how she took one of the most difficult moments of her life - losing her mother - and one of the happiest moments - her own wedding - and blended them together in the most unexpected way. For this time we are living through, where there is so much darkness around us, listen to her journey, how she found and spread the light, and how you may be able to do it for yourself. Let the inspiration continue... ________________ Steve’s third book in his cozy mystery series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES is finally here: SEASON’S SLAYINGS!

  • ANTHONY DYER GONE GOOD
    Jan 14 2026
    Anthony Dyer is a veteran of United States Air Force where he served as a Combat Special Missions Aviator for two decades plus. He flew high-risk missions in some of the world’s most danger war zones and when he came home to retire, he found the transition back to non-military life a struggle. To put it bluntly, Anthony spiraled into a very dark place. But from that very same place, he found his voice in the form of taking pen to paper, writing it all down, releasing it all in the process. He's now an author and mental health advocate, using his life experience to help others. As he writes in his novel, Moon Child: A Memoir: “You can train for combat, but not what comes after.” Good side note: We recorded this episode on Veteran's Day - which was not planned but turned out to be the perfect time to do it. Gotta love when the universe lines these kinda good things up. ________________________ Steve’s third book in his cozy mystery series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES is finally here: SEASON’S SLAYINGS!

  • SHERIFF CHRIS SWANSON GONE GOOD
    Dec 10 2025
    Sheriff Chris Swanson strives to live in the moment: On May 30th 2020, when he found himself in the center of a volatile situation, he chose to listen to the people he has sworn to protect, put down his baton, and walk with them by their side. And in doing so, more than a billion people across the world tuned in to see one everyday person change the tide from negative to positive, from what could have been bad to something good. While the world around us seems to be on a constant, unstoppable path of division, Sheriff Chris continues to embrace unity, through his community in Flint, Michigan and beyond. We talk a lot on this show about shining the light into - and finding the light in - the darkness. Sheriff Chris is doing that on the daily. This episode is one of the most profoundly inspiring and uplifting ones we've ever offered and serves as the perfect way to close out the year with you, our good listeners, reminding you that there IS still good out there, lots of it, and you - YES YOU - can find and be that good yourself. _________________________________ GOOD HOLIDAY GIFT ALERT: Steve’s third book in his cozy mystery series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES is finally here: SEASON’S SLAYINGS lights up the holidays!
