Personalities?
I
have been fortunate to host an Internet radio talk show called
”January Jones sharing Success Stories” and it has been my
privilege to interviews hundreds of guests. My guests have shared
their stories, their struggles, their secrets and their triumphs in
their own words.
In
this book, we’re talking about guests with problems such as incest,
molestation, runaway kids, child abuse, drug abuse, prostitution,
unemployment, scandal, starting over, self-confidence, self-esteem
and workplace issues. Then there are my guests dealing witth
difficult physical struggles such as blindness, cancer and birth
defects that are beyond traumatic.
My
guests have all been exciting, eclectic, and energizing. They have
amazed, amused and sometimes even astonished me. I have adored
getting to meet them and share them with my listeners.
However,
some of my special guests have reminded me of the American Express
commercials. You know the ones that stop you in your tracks and make
you feel warm and fuzzy all over. They have been positively
PRICELESS!
These are the kinds of the interviews that I will be sharing with you
today.
Let
me give you a peek at what’s inside this book.
There’s
Jeannie Kerrigan and Susanna Barlow, who have both been sexually and
mentally abused as children, but have written books that you can’t
put down. They have brought me to tears and then made me laugh with
them. You just want to hug them both.
Jeannie,
who was an incest victim, spent many years out on the streets so she
knows what it’s like out there. She is now working to create her
own non-profit called Ricky’s Revolution by reaching out to kids
who are on the streets with her book, Layla.
Susanna
has chosen to bravely speak the unspeakable reaching out to others
who are in polygamist families. She herself has found What
Peace There May Be by
helping others.
Neither of these young women is bitter but rather they have learned
how to forgive and go forward. Both these women are now working to
help other children learn how to survive and thrive.
For
them, it’s all about helping other kids who are being abused.
Then
we have Tawana Williams and Konnie Ellis who were both born with what
I consider physical handicaps but they don’t think of it that way.
They are the most positive and life affirming women that I have ever
met. Nothing is impossible for them. They just think it and then they
do it!
Tawana
was a Thalidomide baby born without arms. Her Mother bravely wrote to
President Kennedy requesting help for Tawana and JFK came to her
rescue. Her life has been difficult dealing with addictions and
physical challenges. She can type and change diapers with her feet.
Beware though, because Tawana is Unarmed
but Dangerous. She
is an original, delightful and adorable character.
Konnie,
along with her four siblings, was born blind. Now she has written a
loving book about her talented musician bother Rory Hoffman. Rory’s
Story is
fascinating but the real story here is Konnie and how her family
dealt with four children being blind. She is a wonderful wife, mother
and a devoted sister promoting her sibling Rory rather than herself.
For
them, it’s all about making the best of what they have, rather than
what they don’t have.
Then
there are two brother-in-laws, Stephen Simon and James Mapes, who
share their success stories and struggles in the entertainment world.
Stephen is the producer of the classic movie “Somewhere In Time”
and he shares what it was like growing up in Hollywood, both the
good, the bad and the ugly with Bringing
Back The Old Hollywood. His
tales are so, so delicious!
His
dear friend, James Mapes is a brilliant working actor who has done
everything you can imagine and is still doing more and more new
things each day. He has boundless energy and enthusiasm for living
life to it’s fullest. Right now he is busy helping people to make
Quantum Leap
Thinking and
producing his first movie.
For
them, it’s all about helping others to discover their own
spirituality and then embracing big changes in their lives.
Then
there are two women, Sydney Biddle Barrows and Anita Mafferty, who
are survivors in the truest sense of the word. They both are fearless
about sharing their experiences and overcoming great obstacles.
Sydney
was the notorious, The Mayflower Madame, experiencing a scandal that
changed her life forever. After dealing with publicity and
legalities, she picked herself up and recreated herself as a business
coach working within the system to help others with Uncensored
Sales Strategies.
Anita
Mafferty has had cancer three times and lost an eye. On her road to
recovery, she has become a CEO of a successful company called
COOL-JAMS
that sells fabulous pajamas that are made to keep you cool or warm
depending on the season. Also she keeps her one eye on her kids.
For
them, it’s all about forgetting their set backs and jumping feet
first into new ventures and creating new careers.
Lastly
there is Hugh Aaron and Daniel Blanchard who are both educators in
the truest sense of the word. These are two men who are sharing great
information, inspiration and then some really great advice for the
younger generation.
Hugh
is a representative of the greatest generation and he makes us all
proud to be Americans. After an amazing career as a CEO, he has
retired to become a prolific writer. Now well into his 80s, sharing
My Life in Words
with advice that isn’t sugar coated.
Daniel
Blanchard is an inspired high school teacher working in the inner
city with teenagers. Daniel is also a prolific writer helping kids to
start Feeling Lucky
about themselves. He is lovingly sharing all of his Granddaddy’s
Secrets with
them. Daniel is the real deal.
For
them, it’s all about, teaching, sharing and inspiring others to
reach their full potential.
Now
here you have 10 interviews from guests who were the most
unforgettable and Priceless
Personalities that
I have been fortunate enough to host on my show. It’s my hope that
you will sit back, relax and take the time to get to know them too.
