By finding the thread of your power she believes life becomes simplified and energized. Once you begin Consciously Connecting you'll never look back! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; text-align: start;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; text-align: start;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I truly enjoyed this show with Holland. We had a wonderful conversation. The second half of the show is all about the chapter in Holland's book that refers to Positive Words. This is 100% what our network is about and what a great testimony for the world to hear.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; text-align: start;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is a shift happening especially women. We find
ourselves in conversations that have been laced with a tone of criticism. You
can be walking down the street or standing in line somewhere to get coffee and
people may be discussing someone’s weight or what they are wearing. It makes
you stop and think about how you are spending your time and energy. Choosing words
that throw arrows at someone whether they hear you or not. The same thing goes
for shaming ourselves, using words like “Oh I’m so stupid, or what an idiot, oh
I can’t believe I did that”. We want to become more conscious of these thoughts
and words that come out. Continually thinking and talking this way will begin
to hook and imprint and affect the way we view the world in a negative way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; text-align: start;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sometimes our first instinct isn’t the best one when it
comes to our thoughts and our words. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Words
are powerful tools! The way we speak to ourselves changes the way we think
about ourselves; which then allows us to really sit in that place of power and
knowingness. When we come from a place of being connected to knowingness, to
trusting ourselves to really knowing that when that little tingle in the
stomach or that little tap on the shoulder that so often we walk away from we
say “oh no, no, no” when we get to a point of really getting started by
connecting from our words and more change in our thoughts and change in our
actions which is bigger, because then we become a bigger force in the world for
good. We become a person who is of service instead of expecting to be served
and we are all here in order to find that connection. And however the journey
is and we’ve all had our bumps and our pit-falls and we’ve all fallen down - it’s
about getting up. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I talk about understanding that kindness and you are
connecting to your words, how you speak to yourself and how you speak to others
- that is your truth because no one arrives on the planet negative, critical we
arrive when we think of little babies and look at little babies, we arrive wide
eyed and innocent and we are full of wonder and we are open and ready for
adventure and wonder, it’s a magical journey. But some of us unfortunately,
have been taught through parents who didn’t know any better to surrender from
the true language of joy and being inquisitive and we end up entering into an
arena of self-doubt and criticism. And what I ask is that this be your moment
to become aware and be conscious of that and to walk away; to exit that arena
today - it is a choice it is a decision and, you start today - you will no longer belittle or shame
yourself, and you don’t belittle and shame others.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

want to welcome everybody. Welcome to “The Dr. Pat Show,” Talk Radio to thrive
by. Thank you all for tuning us in and turning us on. It’s really great to be
chatting with all of you today. We’ve got a great line-up and this is what I
love. I don’t even know what I don’t know sometimes. I love that about that my
life.</span></span></div>

mean? If you’re somebody like me, you’ve gone through life and have had a few
bumps in the road and along the way you stop long enough to say, “Wait a
minute, wait a minute, maybe I shouldn’t be going down that pathway with my
life. Maybe there’s something else that I should be doing. Maybe this thing that
I thought about career, a job that I thought was going to give me peace of
mind, maybe that’s not it. Then all of a sudden, something devastating happens
and your life goes in another direction, and that’s part of our conversation
today.</span></span></div>

tomorrow. It’s all a build up for the equinox. It’s all a build up, well
whatever it is that you believe in. But one of the things for sure that I’ve
discovered along the way is that there are some things that happen in life. I
want to just say this -- for many of us that are in the world we have come down
this journey to understand what happens sometimes in life. </span></span></div>

that had a rough life – even <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>more so
than me. What happens when you have a family member and you just watch what
their journey is like and you just love them, but you know at some level, you
don’t even know what you don’t know. Well, my sister went down that path and
one day had to admit herself into the hospital because she was having an asthma
attack. What does that even mean? What do we even know about that?</span></span></div>

asthma that we don’t know a whole lot about? Well, first of all, that’s what
today’s show’s about; is to begin to take a look at what the Allergy and Asthma
Network is doing. What this leading non-profit is all about and what their dedication
is to ending needless death. How do I know about that? My sister was one of
those. </span></span></div>

others, children now in the world are we watching with allergies that are

confounding people. </span></span></div>

right now, as well as people every age are we watching – just suffering and not
really quite understanding why or how? That’s because Allergy and Asthma
Network, they are right there and helping folks with outreach, education,

we don’t know. Today, that is the conversation we’re going to have. That is the

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>You are perfect for answering
questions that I’ve been asking for 13 years. Here you and I get to talk. I
never thought in a million years that I would be doing what I’m doing. It
certainly didn’t happen by me sitting down with a big old business plan, but
its paying attention and looking at things that show up in life.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

and put you smack, dab in the middle of this journey to get you here on this
show talking about a conversation about allergies and asthma? What is it? What
are the challenges and obstacles that you personally had to overcome to get you
right here to this very moment?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tonya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Well, again, it is a journey
and certainly, mine has taken its fair share of twist and turns in unexpected
ways. I actually began my career about 18 years ago in the pharmaceutical
industry and the very first companies that I went to work for had allergy and
asthma products. As I grew in my career and in my professional journey, I had
increasing roles with pharmaceutical device diagnostic companies all in the
allergy and asthma space. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Simultaneously, we began
our family and I often laugh and say it was not part of my dating profile,
perhaps it should have been, but my husband has terrible allergies. As we married
and began to have our own children, and our own children began having these
conditions and the symptoms often associated with allergies and asthma – like face
atopic dermatitis or eczema, and some DI issues, and then seasonal allergies,
and then sun interment asthma. It became both a professional journey and a
personal journey for me over the past 18 years.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Then three years ago I
actually had been working with Allergy and Asthma Network from a volunteer
capacity for several years when the President and Founder, Nancy Sander decided
to retire after 28 years of service. At that point, she and her Board of
Directors approached me about leading the organization as President and CEO. </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Part of this is really looking
at how we go from there to where we are. One of the interesting things that I’m
starting to really look at is the level of awareness that we actually could
have around asthma and allergies. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Especially as moms, right.
We’re talking about being a mother, as well. In looking at how this all began
as a mother, looking at the puzzle that Nancy Sander had, and looking at her
own daughter’s allergies and asthma. Isn’t it interesting when we step back and
we think about our children and the challenges that they go through to help us
become inspirations and advocates. Look at you right, you didn’t put a big old
business plan together and said, “You know I think I’m going to become an
advocate here.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tonya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Right. But it is very
interesting how life event, circumstances, our attitudes, and behaviours, and
beliefs constantly drive us to be and do something bigger than ourselves. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I think that specifically
in the case of Allergy and Asthma Network that’s what we really intend to do,
to first engage individuals to help them become more aware about their own
condition or their family member’s conditions. Then secondly, educate
themselves to become thirdly, more empowered and overcome these conditions and
now allow these chronic conditions like allergies or asthma to hold you back or
keep you from activities of normal daily living. Once you can do that for
yourself then you’re on the journey to truly advocating for others; taking that
next step of helping others and making sure that public policy and research
continues to really ensure that we can have the right treatment and access to
these treatments, and therefore also get better health outcomes. </span></span></div>

conversation that we’re beginning today, so that when we are looking out in the
world we know who to go to and how to get there. Who knew that back in 1985,
who knew that something would be created that started to build momentum and
what does that mean?</span></span></div>

a journey, right? We’re going to take this journey together. What does speaking
out for patients actually means? How do we go from ‘85 to now speaking out,
we’re going to take you on a journey so that all of you can find out more. Here’s
the way to begin: go to allergyasthmanetwork.org, allergyasthmanetwork.org. </span></span></div>

It’s great to have you all join us here. We’re so thrilled about this series we
are starting with talking about something that many of us are aware of.
Certainly, if you have watched any films on television and especially in the
movies, one of the things I’m really struck by right now is in this blockbuster
movies. Have you ever noticed this recently -- even the zombie movies, have you
ever noticed this; there is at least one child that has asthma or that as an
allergy? Think about it, if you go back and think about this, what are we
showing in our mega blockbusters around the vulnerability of children? Why are
we showing it?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>What this represents
in so many ways is a consciousness now that is coming to the forefront. It’s
kind of like this is not an anomaly anymore. Why do you see this so much in our
pop culture and how little do we know allergyasthmanetwork.org. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I’m so thrilled to be
doing this series with Tonya Winders joining me here today. Here’s why, as I
said before, we don’t even know what we don’t know. The thing that we do know
is that the number of people suffering from allergies and asthma is accelerating
at every age. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tonya, thank you for today
and I know we’re going to talk today about where we were, where we are, and
where we’re going. I thought it would be great to talk a bit about how did we
get from mothers of asthmatics, how do we get from there to the next level?
Where do we go from ’85?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tonya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Sure, and again, thank you for
the opportunity to share a bit about the organization’s background. If you
think back to 1985, certainly we didn’t have the wealth of knowledge, the
wealth of information at our fingertips through the World Wide Web that we have
today. For Nancy Sander, she had a daughter who had very severe asthma and
life-threatening allergies and she was in and out of the hospital. As a single
mom with multiple-children and really looking for where she could find
medically accurate, patient-friendly materials and unfortunately continued to
come up short. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So, Nancy decided to
sit there at her kitchen table with her typewriter and hammer out a newsletter
that she could share with other moms in the clinic that she was actually
visiting with Brooke. She did that and then that newsletter was actually
picked-up by the Kaiser Permanente system and shared throughout the system as a
patient newsletter. That picked up some national media attention and the
organization was born out of that effort. It really does show the power of what
one mom on a mission who wants to seek out her own information and education
but also share that with others, can do to change a community. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">

we have over 2 million members at the network. Ninety percent of those members
are patients and caregivers, families just like yours and mine. Then ten percent
are healthcare professionals that commit their life and their work to this
space of allergy and asthma.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This is really, what we’re
talking about; someone has something that’s happening in their lives that is
directly related to and let’s just talk about it – not just the thriving of
children but the surviving of children. Many people don’t really get that we’re
talking about a wide-range of conditions that happen everything from having a
great day go bad, as you said during the break, to a life that is lost, we
still don’t have a sense of that, do we?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

don’t realize that actually twelve Americans die each and every day because of
asthma and allergies, life-threatening allergies here in our country. That’s
astounding! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Again, these are
conditions that we – by all stretches of the imagination – certainly do have
good have good guidelines-based care, we have good established treatments that
work the majority of the time. Yet the fact that this is the most common,
chronic childhood condition and has such huge financial burden on our country 56
billion in case of asthma each year, and over 25 billion in the case of
allergies each year. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That in it of
itself is 80 billion dollars that these two conditions are causing. Not to
mention the priceless effort of loss of life and having twelve Americans die
every day because of these conditions, really is just astounding and a tragedy,
a shame that shouldn’t be.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

we’re also going to address, as we move forward in the radio series that we’re
doing, is what is really important, what do we need to do, how do we go from
typing on a typewriter now to expanding the outreach? How do we do – and I
think most people are baffled by waking up one day and holding a child, or a
family member, anybody in their arms. As both Linda and I have done on numerous
occasions with a family member and saying, “Are we going to make it to the
hospital in time?” </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

isn’t it, Tonya, part of this is also understanding what can be done from a
preventative point of view.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tonya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Absolutely, prevention is so
very key when we’re talking about these conditions because there are again,
very distinctive steps we can take to preventing an asthma flare or a
life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis. Being prepared, taking the steps
to prevention is absolutely critical. We will certainly spend a great deal of
time on those, as they’re the first step, to really, correct awareness around
these conditions.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Now, I want to talk about the
network for a minute because this is really setting the stage. We talked about
somebody having a passion – I love how we all love to get together here. I
dialled a wrong phone number thirteen years ago and didn’t hang-up and here I
am today. This is not something I planned.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

me in my journey was kind of like you. It was six months after saying yes to this;
I got very, very, very sick. An allergy is was one of the first thing people
check now, and by the way, this was the only thing that I could do. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So it’s interesting how we
all get guided to be here. For you, you lived, and if I should say, breathe
this every day. This is something you’re immersed in and I wanted to ask you
this question; out in the world, what do you see the greatest challenge now for
us? What is the greatest challenge? Clearly, we’re not typing on a typewriter
anymore, but that doesn’t mean we’re not faced with some challenges.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tonya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Oh yes, there are still so
many challenges. I think that one of the foremost challenges, certainly, there
is such a wealth of information – and knowing where to go, who to trust, what
information is appropriate for each individual is something that is very
overwhelming. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">When you’ve got the
internet and all of the voices coming at you whether it be from your healthcare
professional, your physician, your school nurse, your best girlfriend, your
mother, your sister, daughter, friend, all of those individuals giving you
advice about your health – sometimes it can be overwhelming and confusing. Certainly,
hearing that reliable voice, that credible voice, knowing that is, trusting it,
believing it, and then having someone there to just support you through the
journey whatever that journey may be, whatever you face along the way.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Yeah, here we are, we’re talking
now, this is the world we live in and you touched upon something I find really
fascinating. Because I’m finding this kind of little conundrum and found this
along the way in my own kind of journey. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">If you go back thirteen years,
I know this is hard for us to do. Many listeners listening, “Thirteen years,
you’ve got to be kidding; I was like in high school or something, right?” I’m a
little bit older than most, but if you go back thirteen years we weren’t going
to connect on Skype. There wasn’t going to be – internet radio was just
literally being born but it wasn’t taking on. Now we get emails and texts from
people in Belarus that are listening to the show on their smart phone. This is
the world of information. How do you manage? How does Allergy Asthma Network
manage getting the correct information to people?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tonya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Well, we do it through a
variety of different channels. I think that first and foremost, we partner with
professionals who are experts in this topic of asthma and allergy. We are the
official advocacy lay organization for the American College of Allergy Asthma
and Immunology. We work very closely hand-in-hand with those medical experts to
ensure that everything we write, everything we put out is medically accurate.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">

with some of the health literacy experts across the country to ensure that it’s
easy to understand and digest. That even someone at a fifth or sixth grade
reading level could understand the information, comprehend and digest that
information, and then apply it accordingly to their lives and to their
situation. I think again, at the very essence that we do is taking that
medically complex information and presenting it in an easy-to-understand format
for individuals no matter the walk of life or where they’re coming from.</span></span></div>

break, everyone. When we come back, we’re going to take a look at what the
network does and who are the people that are involved as well as how do we take
this conversation to key legislators?</span></span></div>

Why is that important? What road have we gone, and what strides have we made to
look at conversations with government to get support along the way. The
question mark is, “Is anyone listening?” Stay tuned, we’re going to take a
short break. </span></span></div>

Tonya joining me here today and as we said before, this is a first of a series
we’re going to be doing with Allergy and Asthma Network. For those of you out
there, go to allergyasthmanetwork.org and what you’re going to find when you go
there is you’re going to see that this is a place that is available for both
patients and for healthcare professionals. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I wanted to talk about this
in this way a little bit, Tonya, if we could. We touched upon where we were;
now here we are and I just touched upon the fact that you all have made some
great strides in bringing this to Washington D.C., so to speak. I wanted to
take a moment to talk about that because that is a big thing whether or not we
know it – protecting patient’s rights.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tonya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Right, absolutely. I think
this is an area that most Americans, they fail to really, connect public policy
and health. How, again, just a few people speaking out, raising their voice and
really sharing what the concerns are of the millions of Americans with these
conditions, the difference that you can make. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For now, twenty years
we’ve actually held the Annual Allergy Asthma Day on Capitol Hill and it’s an
opportunity to gather hundreds together. We make face-to-face visits with our
federal decision-makers, members of Congress, as well as the Senate and share
about the issues that are facing our families, put forth legislation that’s
going to help advance public policy and ensure that we have access to
treatments that we so desperately need.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In the last ten
years, a couple of the things that we’ve been able to do in that respect, is –
ten years ago we worked with federal decision-makers to pass a law so that
students can self-carry their asthma medication and their life-threatening
allergy medication, their Epinephrine auto-injectors in school. This allows
students, if they’re age-appropriate, and emotionally, maturity ready to
actually carry those medications and administer them as deemed appropriate at
the time of an emergency, they have the right to do so. Subsequently, 50 states
have also passed the same measure.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Then most recently,
in 2013, we worked with the Federal Administration, the Obama Administration to
pass legislation whereby schools can stock epinephrine auto-injectors for
anaphylactic reactions. What we learned by looking at the data is that actually
25 percent of first-time severe allergic reactions occurred in school without a
previous diagnosis. That’s why it’s so important to have the stock epinephrine
on-hand and be able to administer it when that emergency happens.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The question mark that comes up
for a lot of people is, “Okay, why now? Hasn’t this always been going on? What
have we done in the past?” But, there really is a little confounding variable
here in the forefront. That is really talking about the increased numbers that
are appearing of people that have allergies and asthma. By the way, we’re going
to talk about this in more detail in one of the later shows we do, what that
actually means. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">

the question, “Okay, why now?” Aren’t we seeing an astronomical rise in this?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tonya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Absolutely, at this point,
again, asthma is the most common chronic childhood condition affecting about 7
million American children. In fact, an average two to three children per
classroom have the diagnosis of asthma. Likewise, for life-threatening
allergies we found that again, a life-threatening allergy, food allergies and
medication allergies, insect-sting allergies are also on the rise and impacting
about 15 million Americans. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Again, as you’re seeing
the rise of the prevalence of allergy and asthma there’s more and more need for
these types of public policies that can protect people and also allow them to
be more preventative in their care and prepared.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I want to ask you a question,
because you’ve been really side-by-side with this but as many of us know,
sometimes the journey comes to an end as it did with Nancy, Nancy Sander when
she retired. Then here you are, here you are, now you are coming into the
forefront as President and CEO. I want to take a moment and ask you what it was
like for you, what the passing of the baton was like.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tonya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I think that it’s a wonderful
opportunity when you’ve known someone and you’ve known their legacy and their
organization for a length of time. Certainly I think on one-hand, it was that
how do we pay respect and honor due to Nancy Sander and to the legacy that she
has created of the organization for the past 30 years. We certainly have had a
number of ways to do that through retirement celebrations through our 30<sup>th</sup>
Anniversary celebration. We recognized Nancy and her contribution, and all the
wonderful foresight that she had to create the organization and to grow and
sustain it over the first 28 years.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Then for me, it was
really an opportunity to step back and say, “Who do we want to be? How do we
want the legacy of the organization to live on towards the next 30 years? How
can we leverage our strength that have been established in the first three
decades. Yet, channel them in new avenues, and new ways to reach even a broader
audience. To get the message out more widely so that more people can have the
benefit of the resource of Allergy and Asthma Network. </span></span></div>

have where we don’t even know what we don’t know. As a matter of fact, we were
sitting there today and we’re looking at some new technology we’re developing
to do exactly what we’re talking about here, is address this ever-changing

talking during the break and unbeknownst to the many, many people that count

the conversation for you and I to have about how do we let them know about us?
Because you see, it’s not a matter of will they listen, because they’ve already
got that laid down. But, they are wanting to hear a message that they’re not
quite sure they know that they know that they really want to hear but is
necessary.</span></span></div>

because there are so many different sources of news and information. So how do
we make sure that they are listening and getting that credible, relevant,
accurate information in a timely manner, but in the format that they most desire.
I think that’s the real key, we’re looking at how we grow as a network and how
we present materials. It is more that online, on-demand. Utilizing a variety of
different channels, like video, audio in addition to the traditional print
resources and things that we’ve always provided.</span></span></div>

for that opportunity, Pat. I think that the truth of the matter is absolutely
anyone can be involved in the network. It’s not only patients but also
caregivers, families, friends. Also, healthcare professionals whether you’re a
school nurse that treats kids with asthma, or if you are a primary care
physician, a paediatrician, a respiratory therapist, or a sub-specialist like
an allergist or pulmonologist. Anyone who really is focused on that
guidelines-based quality care for allergy and asthma, that’s who we’re looking
to be a part of the network.</span></span></div>

you want a little bit of information. You just received the diagnosis that your
child has a food allergy or that someone you love has asthma and so certainly
you can engage with the network either via phone, we have a 1-800 help line.
That’s available and manned by certified Asthma Educators and Health Educators.
We also have our website, which is available 24/7. We have a Spanish website
for those who are Spanish-speaking to visit as well. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Then we have a host of
printed resources. We have a host of online continuing educational courses. We
have all of these different ways you can get plugged in and get information
that is medically reviewed and patient-friendly.</span></span></div>

want to get involved in conducting asthma screenings or doing health fairs in
your community, we’ll provide the resources and tools to help you do that.
Perhaps you are at a level that you fell, “Okay, I know this information for
myself and I want to help educate others,” we’ll most certainly partner with
you to go into your community and provide those resources and support materials
for you to educate others within your own community.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

course, is to join the network as a personal member or as a professional member.
We have three levels of membership but it doesn’t cost anything to join and to
get access to the information. If you want to get our print resources, of
course there’s a small charge for those. Otherwise, all of our resources are
free and widely available, and certainly provide a unique opportunity that you
can tailor to your desired level of getting engaged and participating in the
network’s activity.</span></span></div>

get information that is also accurate. Because that is one of the things that
we’re going to be talking about, is what are some of the news out there. One of
the things let’s talk about for the network is, it’s not an organization where
we just sit around and collect information. This is an organization, you travel
to conferences, you hold conferences and it really is to build up a momentum of
information in action. It’s what action can we take? Tell us a little bit about
some of the ways that you do get involved in the community, in the outreach.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

again for that opportunity. We really do believe that once you are informed and
engaged, and educated, that you’ll want to move to that level of empowerment
and actually be more actively involved. So, we provide opportunities for that whether
that is participating in a support group in your own community or starting a
support group in your community. That also could be attending one of our events
like our US Anaphylaxis Summit; we have two of those coming up in October, one
in Dallas and one in Boston. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We just held one out in
San Ramon, California. These are opportunities for a multi-disciplinary
stakeholder group so parents, patients, and healthcare professionals to gather
together and talk about ways that we can advance public policy in this area. How
we can educate our community and empower our community achieve optimal health
outcomes even in the face of allergy and asthma.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>There are so many things that we
can talk about. I want to ask you this question because this is a discovery for
me. You heard me share at the beginning of the show how my sister went into the
hospital to get treatment for asthma and never got out. I think that we’re
going back to the timeframe that we’re talking about here where the
organization was founded where information started to be provided.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

professionals as well, aren’t there, Tonya, that don’t know how to handle
situations. That don’t know even for example, whether or not their doctor’s
office is okay for someone that has asthma to even be in, something like that
for example.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

hear stories like your sister. Unfortunately, we hear it far too often at the network
and yet the truth is that all healthcare professionals are not necessarily
well-versed in the latest, greatest treatment and technologies for asthma and
allergies. It is a buyer-beware world out there. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We as patients have to be
better educated and informed about even choosing the right clinician, choosing
the right healthcare professional and being a partner in that shared
decision-making rather than the traditional way of, “The doctor said it, now
I’m going to do it.” </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

alongside our healthcare professional and really work collaboratively with a
patient-centered care team approach in order to determine what the optimal
goals are for each individual. Then work for removing the barriers to achieving
that goal.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

to be talking about in the shows that we’re going to do is what can parents be
more aware of. We’re talking about a number of different things, clearly, right
– where I talked about my sister in the hospital. Sometimes parents don’t know
the signs, don’t know the early symptoms. We think, “Oh, he is just coughing
over that peanut butter but that’s no big thing.” Isn’t there multi-levels of
awareness that have to happen around this?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">

definitely it is about a journey. It’s about taking that initial when perhaps
you’re first diagnosed and beginning to learn about the condition. Ten years
down the road when you’ve been living with that condition for that length of
time, or 20, or 30 years down the road certainly you have a different level of
understanding, you have a different level of respect and engagement around the
condition. </span></span></div>

have the opportunity to volunteer and help others, or to donate to an
organization like Allergy and Asthma Network and help us to do the work of
raising that awareness and sharing those key messages across the world.</span></span></div>

getting the word out to our listeners and knowing that there is a solution.
Because that’s really what you all are providing, you’re providing solutions. This
is what’s so absolutely exciting and amazing now, is not just to have
conversations about what the problem is but conversations on how people can
come together in the solutions. Thank you for today. I have one last question;
what’s your personal message? What would you like to leave us with today?</span></span></div>

message would definitely be life is a journey. It’s not about a destination,
it’s about a journey. Coming alongside like-minded people for the purpose of a
passion to have the best life they could possibly have. Again, not being
defined by a chronic condition like asthma or allergies but understanding that
that’s part of who you are and the journey that you are to lead, and doing that
with optimal outcome.</span></span></div>

going to take a short break and when we come back more with “The Dr. Pat Show.”
But for now, please make sure you check it out, you go to the website and not
only will you find out ways for you to get more information but also ways to

The seven cups she offers are simple concepts, such as “You Live in an Multidimensional Reality,” “You Are Never Alone,” and “Your Challenges Can Help You Grow.” Energetic practices and audio meditations help readers release limiting patterns and gain access to a higher consciousness.</i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Wow! Hey,
everyone. Welcome. I want to welcome you to the Dr. Pat Show. This is Talk
Radio to Thrive By. I want to welcome you to Transformation Talk Radio. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
for many of you that are listening, I'm not even sure of all of the places
you're listening from but thank you so much for doing that. We are so thrilled
about what it is that is being created here. And thank you for all of your
input and advice to help us create this. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Many,
many years ago, someone said to me, "You know what, if you can hang around
for about, I don't know, more than about nine minutes with the show and people
actually listen to it, you're going to really see a change in the impact of
Talk Radio." And you know what? I didn't even understand what that
actually meant. But today, I do. Thirteen years ago, when this started for us,
many of you know that through the amazement of our Seattle flagship station,
KKNW, now our WBLQ station, the home of Transformation Talk Radio and
TransformationRadio.fm, the bottom line to all of this is the audience and
listenership has grown exponentially. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">It
is all of you that have figured out that this is really the way to plug-in and
change your life whether it's vibration or consciousness or saying yes to an
epic life, this is what we get to do together. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Great
show today, great. I want to just tell a little story about my guest, Aleya
Dao. And let me just say a little bit about this. I don't remember exactly how
I came across her music and her message and her meditations but I did and this
was several years ago. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
what<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>happened was I would just listen
and I must say I get stuck on a song, on a track, Benny, I get kind of stuck on
it and it's just right there for me. But I said to Linda this morning and maybe
we can drop a little clip of it in here kind of spontaneously, I said to Linda,
"You have to listen to one of the tracks that Aleya has presented us
with." And Linda said to me, "Well, why is that?" And I said,
"Well, just do me a favor and just listen for a minute. Just do me a favor
and listen." She said, "Okay, which one is it?" And I said,
"Listen to Awaken. Just listen to Awaken." And I said, "You
know, I think it was around when we were launching Transformation Talk Radio
back in 2009, 2010. That's when I first heard it." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
so as we listen to this song, Benny, do you think we could play a little bit of
that, pop that up?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Benny:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Sure. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So as in today
and we're going to play that song throughout, as in today, as a first time that
I listened to that song, it just brings tears to my eyes. Now, why is that?
Well, thank goodness that Aleya has written a fabulous book, Seven Cups of
Consciousness, but beyond all of that, we get to plug-in and get to listen to
her music and her meditations everyday. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">For
those of you that are not familiar with her work, I will say to you, we're
going to make sure that you have the website as you listen to these songs and
the message of clearly this amazingly guided woman, you, too, will be able to
plug-in to a part of yourself that you may not actually understand because
there's a reason that folks call her a sound healer, an energetic practitioner,
a minister, someone that has gone out into the world then said, "I'm going
to understand what it's like to heal whether it's through oriental medicine or
acupuncture, it doesn't really matter." The word healer has been
absolutely, divinely appointed to who she is. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya,
welcome to the show. It's great to have you here.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Thank you
so much. It's an honor to be here.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I have to
tell you. I said to Linda, "Listen to that song." And I think around
2009, 2010 that's when I came across it and I don't even remember how. But I
want to start with that and the conversation as well as with the book because
there's something about sound healing that is hard to describe. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">But
what do you make at the fact that every time, I know I have to tell you every
single time, I was a little reluctant to play that song during the show, it
brings tears to my eyes. I just don't know what to do with it. Maybe you can
get to enlighten me here.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>When I'm
singing, I'm actually hearing the angelic realm and literally repeating the
tones, the sounds, the words that they are bringing in from the higher realms
into this one. And I think about as my sort of greatest creative challenges,
"How can I experience what I experience in the higher realms and then
bring it in the most pure way with the least amount of distortion into this
physical plane and share it with others?" </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">So
I think what might be happening is it might be hitting a core within you where
you know that you are divine. You know that you're connected. You know that
some part of yourself is awakened in some realm and it's really speaking to
that part of you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Wow! Have
you ever had anybody say that every time they listen to your song, they cry? I
mean, I have tried to listen to it and not cry and I will tell you, it is not
possible for me. So I just go with it now.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Yes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I just go
with it, right?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>You ride
the wave, right. Yes, people have definitely said to me that they cry. I
haven't heard the feedback of every time so that's going to be a new one that
I'll hold dear to my heart.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Every time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>But exactly
the light language, too. Wow!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Yes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Wow!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Yes.
Well, let's talk about this and being divinely guided. And I love what you
said. What if you help folks with in your saying yes? What if you help folks
with in understanding the power of sound healing because we have talked recently
about the rise of the word energy to make the mainstream. And in fact, if
people are now understanding that more and more then isn't sound healing a form
of energetic healing as well?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Absolutely.
And I think all of us are sound healers, we just don't realize it. When we hum
or when we talk or when we choose particular music, we are literally tuning
into a frequency of vibration that is somehow helping us in some way. Even
heavy metal rap helps <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">[0:08:46]</span></b> retrieve our responsibilities for their
lives so that they can stand on their own two feet when they walk out that
door.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr.Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>For you,
this has been quite a journey. And I have to ask you a question that I ask just
about everybody. Here you are. We're going to talk about this incredible book
that you've written "Seven Cups of Consciousness – Change Your Life by
Connecting to the Higher Realms". What are the challenges? What are some
of the challenges, Aleya, some of the obstacles in your journey saying yes?
What are some of them that you've had to overcome to bring you to this very
moment right here now?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Well,
I've been on the path of being a healer for almost my whole life which has been
an incredible gift, honor but also a challenge because as a healer, we
typically will hold high levels of empathic sensitivity, literally being able
to feel another person's pain, hear their thoughts, feel their emotions. And in
2001, I had an enlightenment experience where my awareness of other dimensions
skyrocketed and my empathic sensitivity blew through the roof. And so for the
first three to five years, after that enlightenment experience with that high
level of sensitivity, the greatest challenge was figuring out how to maintain
my sanity while perceiving multiple dimensions and feeling other people's pain.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
then figuring out the solution to those challenges because anytime we're empathic
with someone, it's an indicator we have information that we need to send to
them vibrationally. And when we send that information, we hold the faith space
then the empathic sensitivity goes away. And it's also a great mechanism for
cultivating compassion. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">So
those first five years after that enlightenment experience was a vertical climb
in the compassion department and discernment as well. So I would have to say that
empathic sensitivity has been my greatest challenge but at the same time, my
greatest teacher.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Well, and
it's really interesting that some people say, "What doesn't kill us makes
us stronger." I mean, I heard that this morning. I was out this morning at
a very early morning meeting and I heard that this morning, "What doesn't
kill us makes us stronger." And I thought, "Has that been true for
me?" And the answer is yes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">So
what I've come to and talking with you today is I certainly don't want to put
myself on the edge of that pain, right? I don't want to always continue to put
myself on the edge of having to burn something off, die something off. And so
what I love for you to talk about is how do we set ourselves up in a way where
we're consciously walking<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>through a
higher vibration so that even if we are singularly challenged with, let's say,
perceived life threatening experiences, how we respond to them will be
different.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I love
that question. That is such a huge piece that it's like we have challenges in
our life and I think of Earth kind of like a gym. You come here to get
stronger. And when we're not conscious that we're spiritually growing,
evolving, cultivating more of our light, we will use struggle, pain, suffering,
illness, financial lack, aging, abandonment, you name it, trauma essentially,
to grow and evolve. That's going to be our weight set. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Then
when we get to a certain point in our evolution because we've been in so much
pain and the pain has literally woken us up to there's got to be another way
then we get to start consciously choosing how we want to cultivate very
particular vibrations inside ourselves like greater grace or connection or
strength or power, self-control or self-love. And I have a thing that I talked
about, that I wrote about, that's called the "flip it sheet" or the
"flip it section" and we do the opposite of what we're intending on
mastering until we reach a certain level of consciousness. And then we begin to
practise what we intend to master. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
it's all focused on vibration and particular qualities that you hold within
you. And so as I'm in the place of lack, I'm actually trying to master an inner
abundance. Or if I'm the victim, my soul's attempting to master empowerment. If
I'm a place of fear, my soul's determined to master trust. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
so we want to start flipping our challenges and then activating those
vibrations inside ourselves of the solution and also retrieving all
responsibilities for our growth and our evolution off of the outer world, off of
our relationships and our money and our body and holding that responsibility
deep inside and going, "You know what? I'm just going to use my higher
self and my energy fields and activate particular vibrations in my divine line,
river of light as a way to spiritually grow and evolve. I don't have to use the
outer experience.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Wow!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So that
is kind of the route out of the journey of suffering.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Well, I
love the route. You know what? I'm saying, "Beat me up, Scottie" for
that one.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Yes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I'm one
of these people, and please jump in and tell me if I'm alone, I'm one of these
people that I have a hard time doing things myself. That's why I can't remember
which year but it was several years ago that I discovered your cups of consciousness
and the meditations that you email to people. I mean, this is amazing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
it was so wonderful to beget, to be able to get these meditations that could
pop-up. And all of a sudden now, I get to take a few minutes and get into a
place that is just peaceful and serene regardless of what I have going on. And
so now, here you are not just talking about the cups of consciousness but you
have a book that you've actually written, "Seven Cups of
Consciousness" and I would like to talk with you about that. But before we
do, I would love to give a copy of this book away. This is amazing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Thank
you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span> For
those of you out there, first caller would love to receive a copy of the book.
1-800-930-2819. Mr. Benny will get your information. Aleya, the book itself is
just beautifully written but to understand what the seven cups are, it's just
incredible. How did this come to you? And it seems like the book has come now
after the meditations or had they kind of come together as an idea you're just
getting around to writing?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I'm just
getting around to writing it because I needed a contract to motivate me. I
actually came up with the Seven Cups in 2004. And I was getting on a plane, my
husband, we're just dating at the time, and he said, "What are the concepts
that you teach and you talk about and what are the concepts that you use to
essentially change your entire reality in three years flat, three to four
years?" </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
so he asked me that question as I was getting on a plane, flying back to tell
you I had to see clients. And at 26,000 feet, I started pondering, "What
are the concepts that I use?" And literally, in three minutes, wrote down
these seven concepts. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">You
live in a multi-dimensional reality. You're never alone. You can change your
inner world. Your challenges can help you grow. Your body is a nature spirit.
Your soul has wisdom and inner gifts. And you're perfect. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
those seven sentences, so those seven concepts, I then took the next five or 10
years teaching them and sharing them in audio meditations, using them in my
sessions in a much more conscious way, kind of like a formula or a whole
template that helps people fully embody a higher consciousness as they sip on
all of those seven cups. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Wow! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the things I was so eager to talk with
you about was, of course I have been aware of the cups of consciousness, but
now actually reading about what you have brought to the forefront about them was
a little different for me. And I wanted to ask you about you live in a multi-dimensional
reality. I want to start with the first cup if we could and ask you about this
idea of always knowing that something about us is not exactly singular. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
what do I mean by that? I have to tell you, I have always been accused even as
a kid and then even in the corporate world, my performance reviews would say we
think she lives on another planet. Now, that was not so good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Like I'm
a multi-dimensional being. Oh, my God!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I used to
look at that and think there's something wrong with me. Now, I'm thinking,
"Boy, I'm certainly glad I've probably lived on another planet." But
what does this idea of a multi-dimensional reality mean to us in contemporary
times? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
the reason I'm asking this question is because we now hear of children that are
coming in and to being classified as challenged, ADD, ADHD, autism. And I don't
know, my sense is that we are living in so many realms of energetic layers that
our lack of awareness disconnects us from the multi-dimensional reality but I
was reading this and about what you said about it. And I would love to hear
what your experience is about that and what it means to people.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We live
in a physical dimension but I perceived that that's only 1% of our reality.
When we use our imagination or we dream or if we even close our eyes and bring
our awareness off of the physical plane into an inner plane, an inner realm, we
are starting to access other dimensions. And the children that are coming into
this world have an awareness of these other dimensions. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
I'm going to rename ADD a dimensional doer. People who are ADD are holding more
of their awareness and other dimensions and doing. They're very active. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">They
are working their butts off in this higher realm. And so the harder they're
working in the higher realms, the less energy and focus they'll have for the
physical plane. So, they look like they're distracted. But they're really not.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I know.
And let's talk a little bit about some of the other labels we have around
people. Being extraordinary sensitive and I don't know what else to say but
sensitive to different layers of energy. See, I think those of us that have
been categorized as, "She's a bit sensitive." We've taken on the
burden of a stigma. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
when I hear you say and also reading about in your book is that, "Wait a
minute, empathic sensitivity in your teen. <em><span style="background: white; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Hallelujah! I don't have to do this alone, Aleya. Can you
talk a little bit about this because now we're, I'm jumping around a little bit
but I want to say, now you're telling me I'm never alone. Hallelujah for that
because it's lonely out here. </span></em></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Well, as
children, we may have remembered that we had imaginary friends. They even
talked to my niece and my nephew who're eight and 10. And the 10-year old can
still feel a presence and he has a name for one of his team members. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
so our team is actually with us 24/7 and they come in to this world with us.
They are standing around us in another dimension. They are not aspects of
ourselves or soul fragments. They are their own little being, standing next to
you in their energy body. And they can actually buffer energy, they can support
you, they can moderate energy to you, they can gather information. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
actually in the book I talk about when I was learning how to fly a plane, I had
my team go and become master pilots in another dimension and come back the next
morning so that I could actually master landing. And it worked. And so when we
use our team, we feel this greater sense of protection and support and that
feeling of being alone here in the world, it goes away, when you start
connecting with your team, when your team are connected to themselves as well
and remembering their appropriate positions.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Well, I
wonder why I ask you a couple of questions about the meditation if I can. I
know that we're talking about the book. And by the way, I just want to tell
everybody out there, I know that you're pinging me about am I going to give
another copy of the book away? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Well,
Aleya is. Actually, we have three copies to give away. And the phones have been
jumping off the hooks for the book. So let's go. Let us go ahead and do this
before the break if we can. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">I'd
love to give another copy of the book away. Aleya would love to pay this for.
1-800-930-2819. And we're going to take a break and as we go to break in a
little bit, we'll play the songs. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">But
right now, I want to ask you a question. I mentioned the meditation. Now, I
would like to ask you about the meditation because Aleya, I've been doing this
13 years and I have enormous amount of opportunity to plug-in to meditations
that some people have, some people are doing daily, weekly or whatever. I have
never really been as affected by a meditation, a message, a sound as I have
been by yours, receiving these cups of consciousness. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">I
would love for you to talk these daily meditations and then we're going to let
folks know how they can get their daily meditation. But what do you make of
what I'm saying to you? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I think
the peace that's coming through is that with the meditations, I'm talking
directly to your higher self, your energy self not your mind. And as I focused
on your higher self, your energy self, I'm inviting the higher self of each
individual that's listening to use their own energy fields to bring in their own
particular vibrations, qualities, sacred shapes, light, sound that helps them,
supports them, empowers them, moves them into greater clarity whatever it is
that's appropriate. And so I think when we shift our own self as opposed to
someone shifting us, we hold it, we maintain it and we bring it in much deeper
than when someone else is doing something to us. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">So
I am kind of, energetic snob or I don't want anyone doing anything to me. It's really
important for me to hold my power and be in control of my own experience. And
so I extend that same courtesy to everybody and would never dream of doing
anything to another person and some place sending information and modelling
right energy which creates strong coherent field of positive empathic, it's a
positive empathic experience. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
so if I'm holding a vibration of self-love and I invite you to hold a vibration
of self-love in your own unique way, you then start to do it at a much deeper,
more profound level than as someone doing something to you. So I think that
that is the key peace with all of the works that I do.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Well, I
would love for you to tell folks how they can find out more about receiving
these daily meditations. And also, if we could just take a minute with you
explaining to folks about what these beautiful cups of consciousness are, what
they're going to receive. And by the way, beyond the daily cups, you can get a
tall cup. You can get a tall cup. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Can
you talk to folks how they can do this because I was telling you during the break
that I have my computer set on auto so I get to hear your music like boom right
away. But for folks that don't know how to get these daily meditations, please
tell them how.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>They can
go to cupsofconsciousness.com or aleyadao.com, A-l-e-y-a-d-a-o.com and you can
get a free trial week of the daily cups and they'll actually come for seven
mornings to your email. You can also get the app that we created in the iTune
stores called the cups of consciousness, the free app and it gives you access
to your free week. And the free week is really an introduction to some of the
concepts. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Then
after a free week, if it resonates and it's your cup of tea, you can subscribe
to the daily cups and I share them with subscribers one, three or five times a
week so you can choose. You might want to just get one on Monday or you might
want to get Monday, Wednesday, Friday or five days a week and then I take the
weekends off to rest and reboot. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
they are audio meditations with sound healing, energetic protocols that are
like prayers, really speaking to your higher self to help you shift. And you
can listen to them sitting in silence or you can listen to them while you are
opening up other email or multi-tasking because the work is for your higher
self, your energy fields. Your mind actually doesn't have to listen to it in
order for you to get the full effect.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I love
this. And you know what I read in the book and we're going to talk about this
when we come back, you can change your inner world. I read in the book a term
that I had not heard before and one of the things you were talking about is I
think and I'll quote you directly, "My soul is exhausted." Boy, do I
have a sense of that thing? What does that even mean? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Okay,
when we come back, you can change your inner world. Right now, I would love all
of you out there to enjoy this beautiful, beautiful music. We're going to play
a little bit extra of it so here you go. We'll be right back with Aleya Dao. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Wow!
Welcome back, everyone. Aleya Dao joining me here today. And you know what, I'm
just saying to folks, "Absolutely." We've got a third copy of the
book to give away. And I want to make sure that we give Benny plenty of time to
do this. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
we have a track from one of the later songs that Aleya has done. And Benny's
got that. We're going to play that up in a little bit. But before we do, let's
go ahead and give out your website again. Can folks go to
cupsofconsciousness.com? Is that the best place to go, Aleya?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>That is
the best place to go to get a free trial week of the daily cups or a tall cup
session. And it's cupsofconsciousness.com.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So how do
folks get a copy of your book because this is like cut off the press?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>They can
go to Amazon or Barnes and Noble. And the New World Library also sells it and
you can even ask your local bookstore because we love supporting local
bookstores to carry some of the books.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Yes, and
for those of you out there, this is really a look it. Seven Cups of
Consciousness, Change Your Life by Connecting to the Higher Realms. Before we just
jump ahead, so the book includes some meditations. Tell us a little bit about
that.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>It does.
It actually has 12 audio meditations on a link that's in the book and it gives
you access to resources like particular images and also my descriptions of
those, audio meditations that walk you through each concept that I explain in
the book so that you can fully embody it. You can energetically feel it because
from my perspective, these concepts are not exactly mainstream yet.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
so when we let our higher self and our energy fields feel the concept then our
mind understands it at a much deeper level. And so these audio meditations are
designed specifically for your energy fields to understand the concepts. And
then the book helps you understand it at the mental level. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Awesome.
I love this. For those of you out there, I want to also mention that you can
receive these meditations. And yes, we have smart phone apps. You can get them
in your emails which I love to do because when I get this meditation that comes
to my email, before I look at any, any, any, any, any other emails, this is the
one I get and it is transformative for me. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya,
thank you so much for today. Benny, let's go ahead and give a third copy of the
book away so we'll have time to play another song. 1-800-930-2819 to the first
caller. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">All
right, I know we're not going to get to everything today pretty much but I had
to talk with you about change your inner world, the third cup. Change your
inner world. We are so connected, Aleya, and you know this. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">I'm
just talking about a daily meditation that we can get on our smart phone. We
are connected to the outer world now, right? And so, I think we lose sight that
we even have an inner world. What are we at risk of by losing sight of that?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Well,
we'll experience a core issue which is abandonment, fear of rejection, not
being approved of, not being loved and then a lack of self-worth. And then that
takes a hit on the self-love factor which enables you to receive and be in a
state of connection and love. And so the good thing about our outer world is
that it is training us to go for connection. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">What
is everybody doing when they walk down the street? They've got their phones in
their hands. They are looking at it. They are texting. They are making phone
calls. They are checking email. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">They
want connection. Great. We're getting it externally a little bit. And the more
we crave it eventually the process is to bring us deep within and start finding
our connection in what I call the inner river of light, divine line, front of
spine. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
then the body has its own consciousness. And the body, too, wants greater
degrees of connection. And they can go into its energetic river to feel that
connection, same for the team. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
so I think of the outer world and all of the little nuggets for connection and
happiness that are being held externally as just a process and eventually as we
evolve will go in to get our resources instead of out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>One of
the things you talk about in the book which I had really never heard of was
this inner commitment. And I think you refer to it as growing your inner
commitment. And I thought to myself when I read that then I had to go back and
read it again. Wow! I don't think we even think about having an inner
commitment.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>No, not
to the light that blows within us, right? We commit to our job, we commit to
our partner, our children, everything that we love but we don't think about
really being committed to the connection and to the light that flows within us
and when we make that our number one commitment, then we're actually able to
show up with discernment in a balanced way. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">We're
not martyrs. We're not co-dependent. And so I learned that by the hard way,
betrayal, right? It's like people betrayed me. Guys betrayed me. But why was
that? Where was I betraying myself? Where was I not fully, 100% committed, to
my own connection, to my own essence, to my own light? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Well, you
know, here's the thing. We started the show kind of with me asking a question
about some of the challenges, obstacles you've had to overcome. And then we go
and as I continue to read the book, and by the way, I love the way you've
written the book. You have taken, in my opinion, some of the more complex ideas
about life and spirituality and how to thrive in the world.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
through the Seven Cups you presented a way of understanding that not only
invites healing but helps people with a bit of hand-holding along the way. And
I love to call that, that's your spiritual grip that we love to have. We love
that spiritual grip so that we don't have to white-knuckle our way through
life, right? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Right or
am I going the right way? Is this the right path?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>And my
God, right the very nature of that question, it gives me a hot flush, just
saying right through. You know that's not a pretty picture. But one of the
things you talk about is discerning your challenges. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
I looked at that and I said, "Now, I don't know what she means by
that?" So I'm probably in denial. So do you want to talk a little bit
about what discerning your challenges means because it sounds like we got to
start there? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Well, if
we think about our challenges that are in the outer world, it's simply a
reflection of a particular vibration we want to attain inside but we haven't
yet. So we could take that spin on the commitment, right? Like let's say,
somebody betrays you in your outer world or they're not being honest with you,
they're being out of integrity, now we bring it deep inside and we go,
"Okay, if I'm triggered and upset by this outer situation, that is
key." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">There
can be things that happen in your life that you're not upset by, that means you
have no work there. That's just their stuff. That's their issue. But if you're
triggered and upset by an external situation that is in your life that has
shown up, that is an indicator that somewhere inside, your soul is determined
to attain a very particular vibration. That is the solution. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">That
sort of talks about what we were talking about earlier about how do you use
your challenges and see you're going to discern your challenges by looking at
your outer world kind of like the cards on the table. Then you're going to
bring your awareness into this inner river of light, divine line what you're
connecting with internally at an energetic level and you're going to locate
where inside you you are ready to commit more deeply to yourself or being in
greater integrity with your own light or be in a deeper level of connection
with your light or love or respect to the light that flows within you. So our
outer world can be a really great indicator, reference point, cards on table to
help us know what it is we want to shift, need to shift inside ourself.</span></div>

is about the journey, isn't it? As a matter of fact, Benny's got that ready to

then tell us a little bit about it before we queue it up here.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Yes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Is that
the one? Yes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Yes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This is
actually off of the Light Body Sound Healing album that sounds true picked up
and you can get that, too on Amazon. And it's a beautiful album that I created
when I was missing the other side. And I wanted to have music that would, it's
kind of like you know you're in camp and you really miss your parents and they
send you a care package and you go, "Oh." So this is my care package
that I made for myself and then shared with others to help us feel that angelic
connection.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Awesome.
Mr. Benny, it's all you. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Oh,
that is absolutely beautiful. Aleya, how does that feel for you to hear and
just be listening to your music?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Honestly,
I listen to my music a lot. And so anytime I feel like I've lost my center or I
do miss the angelic realm or I want to connect with my guides more deeply, I
actually play it in the car or I play it in the evening and it just kind of
brings me back to that place of center. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">So
everything that I create, I create really more for me to help me maintain a
high vibration and stay really clear and then maybe other people will resonate
with it. But that way, I stay in integrity with the work because if I like it
then maybe other people will, too. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">

<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>And then
three weeks later, yes, KKNW get a hold of me and called me and said,
"Hey, you're not going to believe this. We have five days a week open."
I did it again. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Same
thing with WBLQ and Transformation Talk Radio as Hugh helping a friend launch
his network. And then he literally disappeared. And Chris called me and said,
"Do you want to start in network?" </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
I want to ask you about this because one of the things you talk about is you
talk about receiving your soul's gifts. Now, clearly, I did not lay out a
business plan. I did not cross the Ts and dots the Is, I had a crust-busting
card and it said that I wanted to reach a million people this year to bust
through the crust and live life full out. This is what's spirit delivered. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Can
you tell me and all of us about what is the preparation required so that we can
actually, first of all, hear what the soul is telling us and then receiving it
because those are two different things for me personally. Being open and
hearing something or seeing something or feeling something but then I've got to
receive it. I would love for you to talk about because that's the sixth cup.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>It is. it
is the sixth cup and I think it's important for people to remember that if
they're listening to your show, they are focused on consciously shifting,
growing and evolving, being a better being, coming into this world and doing
what we came here to do which is to make this world a better place which means
there was some prep involved before people even got here into this world. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
so the soul gifts that I talk about are all of these vibrations and qualities
and mastery and wisdom that we spent lifetime cultivating. And I think it's
important to remember that what we're doing here in this life didn't start on
day one of this life. It started a long, long, long, long time ago. And so when
we vibrationally feel those gifts, own them, embrace them and start using them
instead of putting our gifts on other people or thinking other people's gifts
are better than our own. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">We
then move into appropriate action. For you, you inspire, right? You like
support. You ask questions. There's this whole curiosity piece. And then that
gets other people triggered to, "Well, how could my life be better? How
could I use all of those gifts that I do have within me at an energetic level
far beyond the mind?" </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
so when I think about even what I'm doing, well, I don't have a master's or a
PhD in psychology but I remember many, many, many incarnations of sitting with
people and helping them understand why they have created the challenges that
they have and how they can use those challenges to grow and evolve in a more
gentle, graceful, joyful way. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">So
I think it's about really recognizing our own innate wisdom and then <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>moving forward with that and following our
desires, listening to the intuition, flowing things down so that we can hear.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Wow!
First of all, this hour is zipping. It's just zipping right by.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I know.
It's flowing things down right.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I know. I
wanted to say to everybody. If you want to find out more, if you want to sign
up for the daily cups of consciousness, the daily meditations, go to the
website, cupsofconsciousness.com, lots of information. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">I
would literally regret not talking about the seventh cup and so I'm glad we
have a few minutes to do that. Out of all of them, all of what you presented in
the book, this particular one, you are perfect, I think is one of the greatest
challenges we have in living in the outer world. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
I guess I wasn't surprised to see it in the book. But to really grasp and
embrace the idea that you are perfect might in fact be one of the greatest
challenges we have in this day and age. Can you talk about not only why this is
important but also why it's very paradoxical? It's paradoxical in so many ways,
isn't it?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>It is,
and if you said to somebody, "Hi, how are you?" And they say,
"I'm perfect." It's like, "Well, not really." Right? We
have that belief system. Or, "How do you feel about yourself?"
"Oh, I think I'm perfect." There could be a little bit of arrogance
that some people could perceive. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">But
what I'm really talking about is that every single one of us is a beam of
light. We are having a human experience. We're actually not our bodies. We're
not the horse we ride. We're not the car we drive. We are this beam of light
and when we're done with this world, we will take our beam of light, we lift it
off the front of the spine and we'll go back over to the other world. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Don't
do this now unless you want to unplug and go back to the other world. You want
to firmly attach yourself to that front, to the front of your spine and use
your inhale to pull yourself into this inner river of light. And when you're
holding your awareness in this inner river of light, in that place you are
perfect, nowhere else. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">So
if the only place you look for your perfection is in your inner river of light,
also your safety, your connection, your power, your control, really in truth,
this is the only thing that we can control. It's the vibration that flows in
our divine line, river of light, front of spine. And when we really get connected
to that then we do feel this beautiful divine perfection and we're then able to
move forward in our life and interacting, connect with people from that more
authentic place. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">But
we don't have to love our belief systems, our behaviors, our accomplishments,
our body or what we do or where we're going, just the river of light and then
everything gets so much clearer, so much easier.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Well, you
know for many of us, we do want to do this with other people and do it with
ourselves. Now, you also, you know I know that you and I were talking during
the break. You know how often you travel, where you go to, what you do. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">You
also work with individuals as well as do group work and workshops. And I wanted
to ask you, please tell us how folks can find out more about this. And I guess
my question is what are you sensing from a theme if there is one for people?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>For 2015,
the rest of 2015 or 2016?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>15.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>15. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Yes, we
haven't wrapped that one up yet.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Yes. No,
we haven't. We've still got a few more months this year. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Uh-oh.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So in
terms of people working with me, I do do one on one sessions over the phone,
Skype and I'm not taking that many people in person just because my practice is
so booked out. I'm booked out about three to four months for new clients. And
I'm putting more and more of my energy into the creation of music, sound
albums, maybe another book, we'll see, promoting this book and doing the talk
apps which are every three weeks and an hour-long energy balancing session
live, online and over the phone. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
so people can check those things out if they want. And then I've also recorded,
oh my gosh, I think it's now 1,300 audio meditations better online because I
started in 2009 so I've been a little busy but a ton of resources for people.
And my whole perspective is gather the tools so that you can shift you and then
you don't need me. It's like carry on but here's the formula that you can use
that will help you shift your life in a way in which you intend. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">In
terms of 2015, if I look at the energy of that and actually those daily cups
that I do, I'm everyday looking at the energetic weather that's coming on to
the planet and recording these meditations that really support you in using the
energetic weather and your energy fields to help you shift, grow and evolve. But
if I look at the months, the rest of September, October, November, December, it
feels like there's this empowerment current coming on to the planet for the
next four months. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Like
how do we want to be really supported as we grow and evolve? And so the focus,
I'm just looking at where it turns, right around the 26<sup>th</sup>, 27<sup>th</sup>
of September, the energy starts to really focus on the roots. We're going to
Mercury retrograde September 17<sup>th</sup> and I love Mercury retrograde.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I do,
too.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Because
it's the time to clean out, reboot. The energy of time actually slows down so
you can get more done during Mercury retrograde. And it almost feels like a
time to revisit, how do we want to be supported in the world? What do we want
our root to be filled with at a vibrational level? Do we want greater
empowerment or courage or self-control or self-love, beauty, joy? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">There
is a peace I really want to speak to because I just got this insight yesterday.
So many people are financially struggling in their life. And what I think has
happened is I was at lunch with some friends and this friend said, "Hey,
did you know that all the way up until the 1950s they were still using Carrie
beads as money?" And she pulled up this Carrie bead and she's like,
"Oh, it's so beautiful." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
I started looking at the energy of it and go and I said, "Oh, my
God!" The piece that's gotten disconnected from money is beauty. We used
to look at shells or gems or gold and it's so beautiful which has this love
vibration and I want to create more beauty and connection and love in the
world. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">And
so if you think about what you want to do with money which is a major support
system, the right root resources, hold the vibration of beauty in the roots and
that will then help us rework how we are supported in the world and then how we
can serve and how we can actualize our greatest potential. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">I
love your opening line of your show of how can you live a life where you're not
even afraid to fail.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>That's right.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Like how
can it be so incredible and successful? I'm not getting it correctly but it's
that essence of it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>What
would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Aleya:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Right. I

Aleya, thank you so very, very much. I love the book and I love you. Thank you

gosh! Benny, thank you for masterfully producing this show today. And thanks to
all of you out there, that you are the inspiration for me as you are for so
many. And so remember we, too, get to change our lives. We, too, get to sip

<b>Alvin Harrison</b> writes, performs and records music he has labled
"socially relevant" with his band "The 99" The lyrics of the music
speaks to, and attempts to raise awareness to the problems and issues
facing Americans and members of the community of the world. <br /><br />The
message does seem to strike a chord with people who have heard it and
agree that change is necessary, and that change comes through awareness
of the issues and participation in the democratic process. A media focus
group has found that 6 out of 10 Americans that have heard his "Anthem
For Change" ROUGH TIMES IN AMERICA once, embrace the message and
immediately become "fans". DOWNLOAD THE SONG FREE ON THIS SITE.<br />

<br />Alvin
has taken the unusual position, for an artist, to offer his music
"royalty free" to charitable, church and political organizations
promoting change and providing aid to American's in need. His hope is
that his music will help to spark a "grass roots" sharing of his music
and the message it relays. Of course, help from mass media organizations
would be welcome, because getting the message out to more people is the
only way to spark awareness and initiate debate. While Alvin believes
this change is inevitable, he asks the question....WHY NOT HERE....WHY
NOT NOW!<br />

<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Here’s what I love about Alvin, this is what I’m loving about this. His lyrics
and music speaks to and intents to raise awareness. I love this because that’s
what everything we’re doing on the radio is about. It’s to raise awareness to
the problems and the issues facing Americans and members of the community and
the world.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Now I
wanted to say to everybody yeah we’re launching these networks and we’re super excited,
but there’s something else we’re launching. We’re launching a crowd funding
campaign to raise funds to take our voice back. Why are we doing that? Well
it’s very easy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>If
you really look at the state of media right now and what’s happening in this
country, I can only talk about this country. Is that almost all media is owned
by two mega corporation. I try to really wrap my mind around that and we’re
very fortunate to have two stations here both KKWAM 1150 and WBLQ 1230 over in
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York. We’re very fortunate that these particular
types of stations have not been swallowed up by those two networks.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Now
I’m not saying that that’s a possibility because ratings are really good on
both of these stations, what I’m saying is what are we going to do to make sure
we’re maintaining and keeping our voice? How about the songs we grew up with.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This
is what excited me about this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Were
songwriters simply better back in the day are the 60s and 70s, were they? Were
the events noteworthy of protests, change, lyrics. What is it about the time
that we live in where music may or may not have had more relevance. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>What
today is about is looking at the culture, the force, the music. What does the
music of the generations of the past say to the social change that we want to
accomplish in the world today. And then how are we or are we creating music
that raises the level of awareness.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Today
you’re going to actually hear some music by Alvin Harrison, on the show today.
We’re going to talk about what it means and all of the above.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For those of you out there he writes, performs,
he records music. He is labelled socially relevant with his band The 99. The

issues facing America and members of the community, of the world.</span></div>

what we do here, we shine the light of awareness and hopefully we provide you
with enough information so you can make an informed, intelligent decision. For
those of you out there, that’s why we’re launching transformationradio.fm and a

with that. </span></div>

great to have you on the show, it’s great to have you here. Welcome.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Alvin Harrison:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Thank you Dr.
Pat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am glad to be here. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I want to
talk to you about some of these questions that were raised.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Alvin:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Sure. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I’m like
you. I remember the first time I actually saw Bob Dylan in person, down at the
Cafe Wa in The Village. This guy really nobody thought would be much of
anything. Songs were really long winded, so some people thought. Then he
changed up on us and went from acoustic to electrical, and everybody wanted to
disown him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>To
this day those songs were relevant for the times. I would love to hear you chat
a little bit about what those songs from the 60s and the 70s meant, and where
are we today?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Alvin:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>They
spoke to social problems of the time and I think they really galvanized people
into thinking about what’s important. The problem we have today is something
that you spoke to just a few minutes ago about we only have two big
corporations running radio stations. Corporate takeover of radio and corporate takeover
of really record labels, has really reduced things to probably the lowest
common denominator in music. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Nobody
in the corporation wants to be the one to try something new. You find you get something
that happens and everything other record label tries to jump on board. You
remember when they started with they got a hit with Boco voices in that kind of
robot style voice. Every song after that has that kind of sound on that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>What
you get with radio stations is it used to be back in the day when Bob Dylan was
making music, is they were independent stations. Stations could play anything
they wanted and they had a program director. The program director saw what Bob
was doing in the community and Bob was affecting the community, he played Bob
Dylan’s records.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Nowadays
you have all these stations but you have one program director, and that program
director his marching orders are to make money.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s not so much do things that are important to the community. The
mantra of a corporation is make money.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They will play the hits only.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>That
has affected the musicians also because the musicians have to make a hit.
Protest music and music that is socially relevant is not necessarily something
that people want to have interfere with their party, love songs. That’s pretty
much what’s happened.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We
actually did pretty well with our song Rough Times in America, it got to number
22 on independent stations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But radio
like everything else, has become so expensive and the promotion of records has
become so expensive. For a small time operator like me you know, it just got
prohibitively expensive to get higher than number 22.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Yeah,
this is really what we’re talking about and this is what I eluded to. For us
we’re launching a 10 channel network in September. People looked at us like
what are you doing?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wish I could claim
to fame that we thought this out and we know what we’re doing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re just called to move and take action
from the heart and we have listened to people about what they want.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But at the same time we know that we need to
put a campaign together to make sure that we can let the world know about this.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Once
people know about what you and I are talking about, they’re all in. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now this is a really interesting question, has
our culture pop culture. Let’s talk about this when we come back from break,
our culture or pop culture changed so much that the idea of protesting to get
attention takes second note to where social media is taking people.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Can
you imagine Alvin if we would have had all of that music and the social media
we had today?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>OMG, let’s take a short break.
When we come back this and much more. Alvin Harrison joining me here today. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">(Commercial portion)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Wow,
welcome back everyone. Rough Times in America, Alvin Harrison joining<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>me here today. It’s so great to have him on
the show and you just heard a little bit of that song Rough Times in America.
It is a powerful, powerful song.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Alvin
we were talking about before the break, can we figure out what has changed? You
pointed to something really kind of interesting, for people that listen to this
show the way that a show like this gets on air and the way that independent
music gets on air, is really kind of in the same mode.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think you pointed to this before the break.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I’m
on air because I pay for this air time, that’s why I’m on air.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If for some reason I was not able to pay for
this airtime, the Dr. Pat Show would go away. Some people may miss it and
others probably may not because we’re living in a time where are we able to
take a show like this, music like yours and pop it into a mainstream modality
where we’re not going to be charged tens of thousands of dollars to have a
voice.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>By
the way, that’s what transformationradio.fm is going to provide because if
we’re not doing something different to bring voice to the issues that people
are experiencing, then what is going to happen underneath the surface for all
of this Alvin. Thank you for joining me here today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is tough times in America, that is a
rough song but it is so true.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Alvin:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Yeah it
is, you know corporate takeover of anything leads to changed that I think are probably
not good. They’re good for the corporation but they’re really not good for the
people. I mean I can name you any number of instances, but in radio it’s just
all about the money with the corporation. it’s not about the people, it’s not
about informing people, it’s not about educating people- it’s all about the
money.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>When
you get that kind of situation going there’s no room for things to educate, there’s
no room for things to teach or start to get discussions going. That’s a big
change from the way things were say 20, 30 years ago. We were talking during
the break and I mentioned it’s not so much that people don’t care, life is
tough in America these days. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>It’s
a rough world out there, they’re trying to survive and it’s not that they don’t
care but they really are working so hard to survive that taking on a
corporation is something that takes some willpower and some real guts.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I think
we’re in a dilemma of choices. I think this is really kind of fascinating. When
we went through a couple of things with the protest on Wall Street, that was a
statement but it was a statement that was made almost as if you had a mosquito
bite that you had to scratch and then it was gone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So the difference between the time we live in
and the music that we’re referring to of the 60s and 70s, just saying that is
almost bizarre.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We’re
not just talking about a year or a moment in time, we’re talking about
literally two decades in time that were filled with songs of protest, songs of
equality. It didn’t matter if we were looking at Led Zeppelin, or if we were
looking at Jimi Hendrix, or if we were looking at The Temptations, or Marvin
Gaye.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Just
look at the work of Marvin Gaye, if we did nothing else but take a look at what
that voice and message was about, and if Marvin Gaye would be alive today he
would see the power and the purpose of those lyrics. Now tell me, is that what
we need to resurrect and bring back today in this world of music, and will
people listen Alvin?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Alvin:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Yes I
think it is what we need to bring back today. But the people have to demand it
because the record companies and the radio program directors are not just going
to do this on their own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If they see
that there’s a need and a want for it, and the people really want it then they
will do it because it will make money.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>You
see the whole thing comes down to this corporate takeover of things and the
change in direction of the radio station’s focus. It used to be they were
focused on the community because the community supported them. Now it’s all focused
on money and making money. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>It’s
very hard for someone even like a Beyonce, or Jay-Z, or any number of country
stars. You get a few who break the mold but it’s very hard for them to make a
record that they want to make to say what they’re thinking about the state of
the world or the United States, and have it accepted by the record company as
something they’re willing to spend the money on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Yeah.
Let’s talk about this and we’d love for you to continue about the song we just
played. Tough Times in America, isn’t this the paradoxical scenario right. The tough
times in America are hard to call tough times when the stock market that we’ve
now made our new god, the stock market is soaring right. Yet kids are coming
out of school, people that thought they were going to have jobs and pensions
are looking for jobs, folks are on the edge with healthcare.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
have a friend that has no healthcare and I don’t know. I don’t know that I’m a
person that’s just like you’re listening to this show, there she goes again.
She got to be one of those liberal people. I don’t know that I am<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that, I know that if you’ve grown up in the
ghetto and you’ve been in poverty, and you’ve been homeless like I’ve been-
that is a place that if you experience it boy I’ll tell you it changes you
forever doesn’t it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Alvin:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Yes it
does and you know, you talked about the stock markets and it’s just soaring.
Who is taking advantage of that soaring market, it’s not really the people per
se, it’s .05% of the population.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Things
that are on the outside and if you take certain numbers they look good, but
when you look at what’s happening with the middle class and just regular folks
who listen to your show they’re not really getting the advantages of these
soaring stock markets and things like that. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>It’s
rough times in America. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We’re
going to take a short break, when we come back we’re going to talk about the
songs of today and what’s happening in the world today. How are the songs of
today shaping and crafting change?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Believe me they are, when we come back we’ll talk about what Alvin, what
his music, the band, what they’re doing. What changed their invoking to be made
and what about our pop culture?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Is it
all fashion and bling or are we getting some messages for a kinder, gentler,
peaceful and more conscious world. Stay tuned we’ll be right back with the Dr.
Pat show. </span></div>

this, it is so great to be chatting with Alvin Harrison joining me here today.
I want to make sure you know how to find out more about Alvin and the music,
Rough Times in America is what you heard before. But just now what Benny just
played We Ain’t Buying, the way to go find out more is really easy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can go to <a href="http://www.the99online.com/">www.the99online.com</a>. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Today
what we’re talking about is something that I grew up with, Alvin grew up with
but we’re living in a world today and the question mark is, for many
people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is the music today driving
social change as it did when I was growing up? For those of you out there, I
just got a message from somebody. No I’m not leaving out the 80s.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
80s set into motion a different trend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s interesting how we look at music 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and so forth
and so on. But can music drive social change in today’s world. Alvin I want to
ask you that question, can it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What is
it about Rough Times in America how did you come up with that and winging by
it?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Alvin:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I wasn’t
always in the socially relevant music. I wrote the same kind of things that
everybody else did love songs, party songs. But if you remember back in 2013
the government shut down and I happened to be watching the news story. They were
saying we’re going to perlow all the workers, nobody gets paid except the
congressmen still get paid.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
looked at my wife and I said, “You know this song I’m working it just popped up
in my head. It’s going to be Rough Times in America.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I went into the studio the next day, finished
the song in record time, put it on the internet on Facebook.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A guy named Jake King out of Los Angeles who
had a band who was very famous called Club Noveau. Remember them?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Yeah.</span></div>

contacted me and said, “We’ve got to get this out.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now of course he knows the music business
inside and out and he said, “Things have changed so we can’t do things the way
I used to do them but here’s how we’re going to do it. .” Really social media
is what really got the song started.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Let’s
talk about this because fast forward to where we are today and the question
really I think that we ask early on was, okay can today’s music drive social
change and without judging whether this music of today is better than that
music of the past. That was then, this is now. We went from 0 to 120 in the 60s
and the 60s. We literally lifted up a culture in this country and said, we’re
going to take this culture and we’re going to pretty much throw it out.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We
challenged everything, we didn’t just challenge one thing. It was like wait a
minute, we’re not treating people equally, we’re not treating sex equally men
and women. We’re discriminating based on race, we’re discriminating based on
sexual orientation. We had some major blocks of social and cultural change that
seemed to all come to the forefront at once.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Fast
forward to where we are today Alvin and one person would say, wow we got a
little social change going on here but where’s the music. What’s your thought?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Alvin:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
music is there and I think it’s going to be there even more as internet expands
its view to the listing public. Right now FM radio and AM radio pretty much
dominate drive time because of the technology.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Now more and more cars are getting connected and so that’s a really big
time for music and for people to listen to music is during drive time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>As
soon as the internet starts being able to give them some choices in their car,
that’s where you’re going to see a big revolution in music. Then people can
listen to what they want to and not what they’re being fed, that’s going to
make a big difference.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Well let’s
talk about the songs themselves. Just if we could, and let’s talk about your
songs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are two songs we’ve played
so far and you share a little bit about those songs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The song We Ain’t Buying It, I remember and I
love for you talk about this. Benny I think we’ll just skip a break and we’ll
drop in the last song at the end.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
remember a time, I can remember it like it was yesterday Alvin and probably I’m
dating myself where the price of meat went skyrocketing up. I don’t know what
year that was whether it was in the 70s, or 80s or whatever it was. But it went
up and we stopped buying meat, I mean we did. We just stopped buying it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Some
people think that that made an enormous impact, other people think it didn’t. I
believe today it did because I remember a conscious choice and saying there is
no way I’m paying that for meat. What the meat industry I learned, I have a
friend who’s in the industry. What the meat industry said they learned was if you
slowly raise the price of meat so people don’t know it, then you’ll gladly pay
10.99 a pound for a steak. Boy I think he was right about that. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Is
that the difference between the music in the 60s and 70s and the music now? You
know the music back then was like we are so in your face, is the music more subtle
now, or are the issues different, or is it all of the above?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Alvin:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I think it’s
all of the above.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We Ain’t Buying is a
song that speaks to some of the lies that are being propped. You remember we went
into a wreck because they were WMD, and then they were no WMD. We needed to militarize
our police force so they can better serve us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We see that’s really not the case and as a matter of fact, it kind of
puts the kibosh on protesting. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>That
song is talking about we get a lot of lies and we got to stop crying about this.
we got to start doing this and we’re not buying it anymore.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Let’s go
to the phones we got a caller coming in Christine from Seattle is calling in.
Mr. Benny why don’t we bring Christine on this show. She’s got a comment I
can’t wait to hear. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Christine:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Dr. Pat I
love you. Alvin and Dr. Pat thanks so much for having me on this great show
today and putting it out there, this platform that is so amazing and powerful.
In my opinion music is the highest art form, I was a DJ in Seattle for 20
years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I use music on my bumper it’s
going in and out of break, it’s my prime real estate.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Music
is so important and I think what’s most important about music particularly in
our country, is that there’s all<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>kinds
of political ideas and things that people want to get across. In fact I wanted
to have a political show when I first began. The reason that I didn’t and the
reason I think music is so important is because it is a platform and a forum
for people to see what they can do.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
think it’s important that you’re saying it kind of puts the kibosh on
protesting, I call it preoccupy instead of occupy. I think it’s super important
for people to understand that we live in the freest country in the planet. As
the freest people in the world we have this immense responsibility to make it
even more free.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
way we do that just like you said in your song when you came back in from
break, you have to earn it. To sit around and cry about how other people are
doing stuff, or the stock market is doing that, the government shutting
down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have to sort of correct you
there, every government worker was paid. They were paid retroactively, and
besides that the government shuts down every week on Friday, from Friday to
Monday. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This
idea that we’re supposed to be given things, we’re supposed to be given things
that all of the things that we want as extras are right? They’re not all right.
As Americans we have the right to create that in this country and as humans we
have the right to create freedom for the planet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I am
so glad that you are making this music and you are bringing to light these
issues that people need to wake up, they need to wake up. I love what you
brought up about meat, guess what health food when I was a kid was the cheapest
food you could buy. Now I cannot believe we are paying this much money as we
are for people to give us less in our food. Less chemicals, less stuff.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>It’s
really important for each of us to do what we can do individually and with each
other on that micro level, because if we don’t it doesn’t matter what is done
on a macro level.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Thank
you, Christine I want to ask you something about this and Alvin too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I love about this is I too was asked to
do a political show, this was about two years into doing this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the major organizations asked me, I
think they were Jones Media. They said, look we’ll take your show and syndicate
it if you can put your attitude to talking about political things.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>You
know I’ll tell you I had a moment where I thought okay and then I had like no.
Why would I do that? There’s only one reason I would do that, it would have to
deal with some part of my ego.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You and I
chose to do this and why did I choose to do this?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because today I can pretty much talk about
and have Alvin on, and have you call in, and I don’t have a producer or a
senior producer in the show saying, do not let that Christine call in again. Do
not let her call in again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>That
is the way media is run right now, don’t you think right Christine? You know
this?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Christine:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Might I add what I love about you, the way
you inspire me and we’ve talked about this is that you have created a way and
this is also what I do with my show The Confessional. We create a way for people
to see what can we do.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We
don’t have to agree, we don’t have to like that we don’t agree but what can we
do?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What can we do to create a better
country, a better city, a better neighbourhood, a better planet. That’s really what’s
important.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>It’s
true these congressmen, all these people in office, and all this stuff that’s
going on I’ll tell you- the politicians right now are lacking but the thing
that is hardest to swallow is they are a complete mirror of what we will accept.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The absolutely mirror and so we have a lot of
work to do. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
knew this nurse once and she was like, what is this thought that there’s all of
this unemployment and there’s no work. There is work, as longs as there are bee
hinds to wipe there is work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So we all
have something to do, we all have work to do and we all have our purpose on
this planet.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Thank
god for you Dr. Pat, because I’ll tell you what if you only touched one life in
all these years it was me. I am so glad that I listened to you in the early
stages and I am so glad that both you and I are putting it out there. And you
too Alvin, that people can do something, they don’t have to sit around and
accept what they consider to be their reality. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Alvin:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>One
little thing I’ve tried to do with the songs is not take a particular side.
It’s not Republican or Democrat, or Independent. It’s just the issues so that
people can think on their own. We just think on our own and come together, we
will find a solution. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I think
that’s what we’re talking about. I think Christine me and you we should do a
show. I think we should come up with a show and do it together because I’m a
little bit older you know, I mean all you need to do is listen to this show and
have me talk about the 60, and 70s, and Led Zeppelin, and the fact that I
actually went to Janice Joplin’s last concert. You get a sense of how old I am.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
point is am I going to quietly in the night?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What is important in the world we live in?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t want to get into a story about this
now but I will tell you that a couple of years ago I had an experience with the
senior person that was having a little mental trouble. What happens to you when
you are a senior person as defined by society and you’re having a little mental
trouble, you are one step away from Fairfax. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
will tell you that it is a nightmare right now for so many people that are
aging in this country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can’t even get
off of my soapbox, you know Alvin maybe you can write a song, a little song
here about who actually does pay for the cost when healthcare goes away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank you Christine for calling in.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>You
know Alvin there’s so many things we can talk about and I do want to talk about
our pop culture for a minute. Katy Perry changed the landscape of music in a
sense, when she decided she was going to talk about I kissed a girl and I liked
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It hit the pop culture in a way that
many people didn’t even see it coming. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This
young woman from a very strict religious background, boom does that song.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now let’s fast forward, the songs that have
come out over time. Christina Aguilera’s song Beautiful, the video that was made
from that song. How that won acclaim.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So
many of these artists now bringing things to light. Pink got hit left and right
with Stupid Girls, what was that about? That’s the way Pink delivered the
message about what’s happening about self image of young women.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Aren’t these songs in essence coming forth
and doing this, and we haven’t even talked about U2 and all these other stuff.
Are we making an impact here?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Alvin:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Those
songs however are about more of a cultural change as opposed to as a social
change if you follow me. I would like to see more talking about social change
as opposed to a cultural change. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Well give
me an example of what that would look like for our listeners.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are many listeners listening that did
not grow up in the 60s and 70s, that’s Mr. Benny right here. Give us one things
that would talk to that?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Alvin:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>During
the Vietnam War we had any number of songs that were protesting the war and talking
about how this is a war that we should not be in. Right now we are fighting
ISIS in Iraq and Afghanistan. I don’t think people really understand why we are
in those countries right now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ISIS is
our reason for being in Iraq, but really is that the reason or is it oil? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Wait a
minute, I disagree with you. Boy I never disagree on this show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I do disagree with you, I think we are
absolutely aware of why we’re there. I think that people know why we’re there,
I think if you ask the average person on the street to tell you the truth about
why we are in that war I think oil is going to come up, or money is going to come<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>up because I think we’re smart.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
think we don’t want to deal with it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Alvin:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I agree
with you, I didn’t mean to say that they didn’t understand. As a matter of fact
in the last three years if you look at social media and you look at media in general
I think you can see that Americans are waking up to the fact that what they
have been told as the reason we are doing certain things may not be the real
reason. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I love
this. What a great show today, I’m fired up. I’m having Bettie right now as the
next guest in a moment here. Bettie is like what is this girl going to say now.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
love this and you are so right about this. I did not know that I would have
this kind of response and we are putting a crowd funding campaign to take our
voice back because I have to tell you, that a show like mine, and a show like
Christina, we are a payment away from being yanked off the air. This is really the
world we live in.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We
live in a world where we have to buy airtime and I have to thank every one of
our sponsors, every one of our co-hosts, every one of our hosts because they
have supported us as we have in exchange helped them to be here today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love what we’re talking about because you
really are raising some interesting questions for me.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Alvin:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I’m not
even sure you even understand how important your show is.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I don’t
because I come from a place of I love what I’m doing, I want to help people, that’s
what I came out of the gate to do. I love our listeners, they’re the best in
the planet. I think you’re right about that.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Alvin:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I am
right. I do a lot of talk shows and they always have an agenda. Your agenda is
to help people and to help people understand, and to educate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even though that’s an agenda that’s really no
agenda at all.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I love
the name of your next song. We heard it here first. Do you know what it
is?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No Agenda at All.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is the political song that needs to be
written right now, no agenda at all.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Alvin:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>If I
write that song will you play it on your show when you get it going. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>24/7, no
agenda at all. I love that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Someone
asked me this morning Alvin and I know you get asked this a lot. They were
asking about, why am I doing this? What is my agenda so to speak, kind of the
question right.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Alvin:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I’m
going to age myself. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Okay.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Alvin:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I just
had a new granddaughter who I’m going to see next week for her first
birthday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There comes a time in your
life I think when you start to ask the question, what have I done to make a
change, to make things better?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Having<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a grandchild, or having
children really gets you thinking- I’m going to be gone soon and what do I want
to be remembered for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But not so selfish
as what do I want to be remembered for, what am I going to do?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What can I do to ensure that this next
generation doesn’t have it so much tougher than ours. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>That
has it better than our generation. Right now I really do believe Americans are
starting to get that over the last few years like I said, are really starting
to ask that question to themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I’m
really looking forward to the future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
think Americans they always work it out.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I have
faith, I really do. I believe in our young folks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not just our young folks, I mean I’m talking
about the generations that have come after me. I have enormous faith, do you
want to know why? Look at what’s changed in the world. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We
just have gone through a period whether you like President Obama or not is not the
issue on this show, but this is a black man in the White House and there are
many of us that thought we would be dead and gone before that. We’ve just had
laws changed, to open the door up to inequality across the board.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The folks
that have come after us Alvin, they are doing some stuff too. I think what you
and I are saying today we just want to keep the light of awareness shining
brightly on what we now are left to do. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Alvin:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>That’s
my whole goal just to remind people here are the issues, let’s talk about them.
let’s see if we can figure this out. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I love
it. Alvin if you don’t mind giving out your website again for folks, thank you
for joining us here. Thank you Benny for a great job.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Alvin:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>It’s <a href="http://www.the99online.com/">www.the99online.com</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There’s something on that website it’s a radio
station location where you can put in your call letters of your local AM or FM
station and it will give you their phone number. If you want to help, give them
a call and tell them we want to hear these songs.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Dr. pat:<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Exactly,
because that is what it’s going to take. If you go back in the old days and old
school right in the 50s were hopping out that’s exactly how some of that music
got on there. We moved from I’m going to pay the disc jockeys to play my song
to you know what I’m going to go door to door and see what can be done. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 85.05pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -85.05pt;">
<span lang="EN-PH" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Thank
you Alvin, thank you for a great day, thank you for a great show. Hey you guys
we’re going to take a short break and we’ll be right back with The Dr. Pat Show.
This is me Dr. Pat, go to thedrpatshow.com if you want to know more. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: Welcome to The Confessional. I'm Christine </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.375px;">Cisneroz</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> and we are so, so happy to have you tuning in today. Not just to the show, but
into your lives and we have quite the show for you today. We've got a fantastic
guest. I am so completely honored to have her on. I was inspired so long ago by
this woman and I just have to say that having her on today is really one of my
dreams come true. It's one of the things that I can say "yes, this
occurred." I was able to have this guest on today and it's such a great
full circle in a way and the beginning of another circle, but today we have on
our show, and just to let you know, the name of our show today in case you
don't know who is coming on by the intro, but the name of our show today is
"If you could not fail". That's the name of our show because I
believe that this woman has really, really stood for that sentiment, for that
idea, for that consciousness in the world, that what would our world look like,
individually on a micro level. If you could not fail, if you knew that you
could not fail and that you did not need anything else in order to lay out and
see your life purpose. What would you take advantage of? What would you do? How
would things look differently and how would your life play out differently? So
on a micro level I think that happens on a macro level. It happens because if
everybody's doing that, then that's what everybody's doing. They're not doing
something else. So today we are so honored to have on Dr. Pat Baccili. She is
on our show today and I'm going to introduce her now because she's here and
she's always raring to go. Here she is. Welcome Dr. Pat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: Hey it's great. You know, I have to tell you. I'm
like a little weepy right now. You know, you guys are what consciousness really
means in the world today. Many people believe or have believed in the past that
consciousness is this idea that we all hold a wonderful thought, but there's
something that you did that is super special and I want to make sure that
everybody that's listening to your show, all your fans, all your people that
tune you guys in, listen to you understand. You know, consciousness also
requires some leg work and any of the masters that have roamed this planet and
some of the masters that are not from this planet, one of the things they all
have in common, they're not just be-ers, they're also doers and so the
acknowledgment really does go to you for having an inclination of an action
that needed to be taken to help rise the consciousness in the world and what
that turned into like so many people today is a radio show, a broadcast, a
podcast, a live audience, powerful conversations that help people out there
step into hope and you know I had a mentor a long time ago. Gave me an acronym
for the word 'hope' and the acronym that this individual gave to me was having
outrageous positive expectations. Hope, having outrageous positive expectations
and you know because people have this notion about hope, right? I mean you've
been there. We've all been there. Where we can hope for our lives, but what
we've learned about expectations is every one of us must have these
expectations and I've gotten beaten up. By the way, I have to tell you. I have
gotten beaten up over saying this because folks have said to me "no, don't
have expectations". I said 'expectations, everyone has them".
Whatever you believe in, God, spirits, Jesus, Buddha. These are folks that are
demanding for us to have expectations. What I think that we've learned along
the way though is expectations without attachment, right. Expectations aren't
leeches that attach to you, but I mean I was listening to you and I was
listening to the intro because most of the time we don't listen to ourselves,
our shows. Half the time, I don't even know what I say because I think you all
have been called to a purpose greater than yourselves and you know within that
frame work, all of us gets to take the next designated step to our lives and to
helping others in the world. If we're not in service, we're actually not and
that's really what I've come to learn in my life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: I absolutely agree and I have to say that when I
was inspired by you so many years ago, I think this was probably 2007 that I
really started tuning into your show, and you were doing crust busting and you
were doing all kinds of really great stuff and at that time I was driving
around, I was listening to your show and I looked forward to it. I didn't just
look forward to it just because you had great guests and the stuff you were
saying was really great and it resonated with me, I looked forward to it
because there was a pinpoint of light that was occurring. There was a
consciousness and a light that was occurring that you didn't see very often and
when I say that, I really want to clarify that and say that it wasn't that it
was abnormal, it's that it was so freakishly normal, but uncommon. It was
uncommon and so when I tuned into your show, it was that this is so normal.
This makes me feel so normal and so good and so in my skin that when I actually
kind of unpacked some of the things you would say during the show or some of
the things that your guests would say, I realized just how much more there was
for me to explore. Everything kind of triggered me off into more things that I
could explore about myself so by the time, I think you did this ad that was
about do you want to have a radio show? Do you feel like you have something to
say? I know that everyone in my family will attest to the fact that I've always
had something to say and I've always wanted to have a radio show, but it wasn't
until that invitation and the way that you invited people and when I would call
in a couple of times and you would just read me like a book. That's when I
really saw that the invitation was not just an invitation for me to fulfill something
that I really wanted to do, but it was there for me to fulfill in my own micro
the macro that I could contribute to. Let me tell you something, when I first
got in this studio to do my first show, I was having dreams like three weeks
before I got in here that the clock was running, I said something for a minute
and then I had 59 more minutes to fill up and that's because I think that was
happening because I knew I had so much to say and what was going to come out
first and so when I first got into the studio I was terrified. It really,
really was one of the few times in my life that I didn't know if I was going to
be able to do it and once I did it, I really felt as though I rose to another
level in my life, that I really got somewhere where it wasn't about polishing
my problems, it wasn't and this has been unfolding ever since, this is show
number 117.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: Wow! Congratulations! That's big.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: It's such an amazing thing to watch the
unraveling of my insecurities around that and know that those are just, they're
not real. They're shadows, they're pretty much lies and just not buying into
those lies anymore has helped me to unravel and unfold into other parts of my
life and I cannot, I seriously, I feel like this radio show for me has been
more important than any degree I could have gotten and any amount of money I
could have gotten, than any sort of relationship I thought I needed or any sort
of validation that I thought that I
could someday get. This radio show has really allowed me to move into my
purpose and so I'm just so honored to have you on today because in this message
of not getting things, not acquisition, but the experience of life, you really
have been one of the fore runners in this station and I believe in this city
where people have been able to get turned on a little bit and then a little bit
more and then a little bit more and realize that they don't need you, but what
a great resource you are.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: Thank you so much! Oh my God! I'm going to cry.
You've got to get the tissues for me. I've got to leave my bleeping glasses on
throughout this show. You know, one day you wake up and I'm glad you brought up
crust busting because we're actually bringing crust busting back. I don't know
if you know the story of how The Dr. Pat Show became The Dr. Pat Show. It was
the listeners and Benny. We had Crust Busting Your Way to an Awesome Life and
somehow, I don't know who it was, maybe it was a listener or somebody, I don't
know found out that some how I had a PhD and they started to tease me about it.
They would call in "Dr. Pat" like that and he's like "Dr.
Pat" and then I just felt like "no don't do that, don't do that"
and the more I was like don't do that, the more everybody did it and parallel to
that was this idea, I'm a girl from the Bronx. Just so you know why that was
really hard for me is because at one point in time I was the only one in my
family to graduate high school. The circumstances that led to me going back to
school weren't very pleasant, but God is way smarter than a fifth grader. God
and the universe and everything in it is way smarter than a fifth grader. What
happened was we had a website redesign taking place for Crust Busting Your Way
to an Awesome Life and it wasn't getting done and six months I'm like "what
are we doing". "Uh, I don't know". A year later finally the
programmer disappears. She's gone and I finally said "okay man. I get it.
I hear you" and we changed the show because everybody was "Dr.
Pat" and it took on a life of it's own and then the message was "you
need to change the show name" and that's what we did and so today, that's
my number one priority. How do I listen to the voice of spirit, however that
comes through? I ask every day "what's mine to do today" and some
days I get a clear message, but most of the days it's like one word. It's like
more. You need to do more and I get frustrated with that. There are times that
I say "I'm tired. More? What does it look like" and what I've come to
know about more is it doesn't have to be harder. It doesn't have to be harder. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: Right and you've helped so much with that. You've
helped people to realize that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: Right, isn't it interesting that more doesn't have
to be harder?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: Right and isn't it funny that through your, I've
heard the stories about your life and the way that you've transformed many
things in your life and what I see, what I see and what I hear when I listen to
you and when I listen to your guests and you interview them is that it doesn't
have to be hard, but when it is hard to remember that it's worth it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: Yeah. I have to tell you that I believe in a divine
plan. You know, I believe that I get to set that intention and that expectation
and that the dots that connect all the points aren't always the way that I
envision them, right. And sometimes what they look like is a mother that kills
herself and commits suicide because her life is too hard and she's a drug
addict and an alcoholic and you know, as time goes on, I try to figure out as a
young child who I am and I end up homeless at 17. You know and on my way to
oblivion in a world that I don't understand, but yet things start to show up
that are in my favor. Jobs show up that I wasn't supposed to get, people that
become angels. I guess the question mark for me these days is how do I stay
alert and aware enough so that I can see those angels, those messengers who
show up in life and that's really so important to me today, to try to be that
aware in a world where I'm supposed to do more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: That's an interesting point that you bring up
because I think that what started me really paying attention to your show in
different ways was that I got to start paying attention to signals and the
subtly of signals and when you start to do that, those signals of indication,
you also start, a first indication. I don't mean like here's a tsunami of
whatever is in your life, but those first dawnings of indications. This kind of
creates a way for you to start having a life that doesn't have to be hard all
the time, even a lot of the time and so what I love about that is I think
Einstein said "you cannot solve the problem at the level of the
problem" and when you are paying attention to those signals, what you're
actually doing is, I had a friend that went on a hike recently and he said he
was hiking and hiking and hiking through these clouds and all of a sudden he
was above the clouds and what he saw was just miles and miles and miles of
clouds below him and he could see where he needed to go next, but when he was
in the clouds, he was like "I don't know. Am I getting close to where I
need to be? Am I okay? Am I going to trip and fall because I don't even know
where I'm at" and in life it seems as though when we're in our clouds,
when we're in our moments of "this is a problem. This is a problem and
this is hard. This is a real disaster in my life", if we know that once we
can rise above that just a little bit, enough to get to perspective, I say this
often on the show and that is you don't need to know everything to know
something and you don't need to do everything to do something and I think that
you're right. Just like there's scripture that says "faith without works
is dead".<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: I misquoted that for decades. I used to say
"faith without works is deaf". Totally for decades. Someone pointed
out to me "oh dude, that's like not the scripture". I said "no,
you're kidding?" <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: Well, maybe that was the new revised.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: For me it was a revised version. I had insider
information.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: Exactly. Inside track, but in our world today it
is a very popular thing to sell people their inadequacy, to sell them their
lack, to sell them that they are not enough, that their worth isn't there, that
if you don't have that then you need something. Oh, I have that something. Buy
it from me. What we see from that is there is a lot of complaining. I don't
know how, I can't, no way and then tuning out and the complaining is mistaken
for doing and that's not doing and what I love about what your work is, is that
you create a way for people to see their issue and see it as an invitation to a
better life, not as a barrier, not as "okay, this is your stopping
point" or "this is all you are so forget about it". You really
do help people I believe. You really do allow that information to come through
you. I believe we are all channels and we allow that information to come
through and what happens is somebody goes "oh wow, I'm not stupid" or
"I'm not lowly" or "just because I don't have money doesn't mean
I'm poor" and "because I have these issues with relationships, that
doesn't mean I'm a bad person and don't know how to have relationships".<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: Yeah, you'll never actually hear me do a show as a
relationship expert. That's why I have so many on my show. Clearly I think some
of us are meant to do things and talk about things, relationships are not it.
That is not an area I've mastered and I'm the first one to say it. That's why I
have so many relationship experts on the show because I'm listening intently.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: And to me that's the greatest humility because
you know that when you have that person on the show and they're going to be
interviewed, that you're using your platform, the platform that you've created
and you've invited people to come in, not just to listen, but to come in and
create a way for their life purpose to play out as well and those are kind of
like the swinging doors that I see that are so important in the world today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: Yeah, I love what you said about complaining
because people don't know this. As a matter of fact, complaining has taken on
such an incredible technique and tact for many people. And they'll actually say
they're not complaining when they actually are complaining. Complaining is
really for those of you out there that you know are thinking "well here
she goes again with the complaining thing", you know, complaining, you
know what it really is? Complaining is your greatest argument for your
limitation. That's what complaining is. Complaining is the greatest argument
that you give the universe, the laws in it, whatever you believe in and
yourself. You're giving it the greatest argument, Judge Judy. Complaining is
the Judge Judy of your limitation, so every time you open your mouth and you
get ready to complain about something, think "oh my God, Judge Judy is in
my brain and she's going to come in and give me an argument for all of the
can'ts in my life". Complaining is the master leader of can't. It
absolutely without a doubt is and boy do we do it. You know the one thing that
I don't hear? The Kardashians don't complain very much. Do you know who those
people are? The Kardashians. They don't complain. They do a reality show and of
course they've got to do a little bit of that and people thing "how did
these people with absolutely no talent get to do what they do"? Well you
know what? They're just showing up as they are and to watch what Bruce Jenner
went through and have this entire family not out in the media capitalizing on
this story. Not complaining about it. Yes they shared emotionally, heartfelt
conversations, but they weren't out there dissing him. You know what I'm
saying? And look at him, out of zero, here's what they create. Now many of you
say "they're not contributing to
consciousness". Well maybe not, I don't know. I'm not here to judge
them about that, but what I am is they did contribute to a new version of love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: They have contributed to a new version of love in
the world. Isn't that what consciousness is?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: Think about it. Bruce Jenner is now a her, with a
family that supports. Talk about unconditional love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: And even if you have conditions, you're having
love, but you're having conditions, the fact that we all have conditions about
things does not excuse us from moving in to more unconditional love and so it's
not about like "oh I'm so perfect at loving someone" or "I'm so
perfect, love and action, I'm so perfect at doing that, that now I can do
it". Sometimes we wait to be perfect at something to actually even do it.
I mean when I stepped into this studio, I thought "I don't even know how I
am with this because I don't know if I'm good at it or bad at it", but
when you<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: I don't either. I still don't know and I don't
think about it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: Right, you can't because all you can do is come
in, I mean basically that's all I can do is come in and do my work and show up
for my work and that's the invitation to the world. Show up for your work. You
know, I think that you touched on something about hope and what I would say too
about the work you do and the work we're doing here also [unclear 21:36] is
that we're not just trying to shine a light on hope, but we're actually shining
a light on serenity because once you can accept the way things are and that
you're going to move forward from there, then you can, but if you don't and you
have some kind of crazy idea about what the reality is, then it's very hard to
track, move, create and produce something that is constructive in the world. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: Well let's talk about serenity because there is a
fabulous serenity prayer. Actually there's a short version of it and then
there's a really longer version of it, but when you start to dissect the
prayer, "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot
change", what are you talking about? Well first of all, you're calling in
spirit, God. Yeah we use the word God, but maybe you don't believe in God.
Maybe it's something else. Whatever it is, it doesn't matter, but "grant
me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change". Right there what
we're saying is you are not just in serenity, but now you're in acceptance. Now
you're in acceptance for a world. You know, you're staying within your box of
conditions about number one, who am I and how am I going to show up in the
world and then the next part of the prayer talks about the courage to change
the things. The courage. We must each of us look at our courage barometer every
day. We have to look at that because if we don't look at whether or not we're
calling forth an ounce of courage to simply live in this world now, then we're
not going to be able to get to the last part of the prayer and that is the
wisdom to know the difference. I love what you said. I don't even know what I
don't know. I don't even know what I don't know, but here's what I do know. I
know that I'm going to be divinely guided in whatever it is. When I wake up,
I'm being guided to do more in the arena that I'm in today, but some day I may
wake up and I may hear a message that says "nope, stop doing that Pat. We
don't want you to do that thing anymore" and am I going to have the
courage to walk away? Am I going to have the courage to listen to that voice
and have the faith that I'm going to be divinely guided? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: That's such a great point because at times when
we feel like we're in that cloud, we're on that hike and we're in the clouds.
It does take courage to keep going and know that you will be cared for. You
know, I say this on the show from time to time and that is we are undamagable. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: That's a good phrase. I like that. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: Even if you give up this bio suit that you've
come into that you care for and you take care of so you can serve, you are
undamagable and knowing that, knowing that you are undamagable, how does that
change the way you live your life? It changes the way you live your life, not
that you're going to be more reckless, but you're going to know that you're
divinely supported, that everything that you are and everything that you've
come here to do has come from the source and the source does not destroy
itself. There is recreation and there's fertilizer. There's the crest of
things, there's the learning from things and then there's the moving forward
and doing something new and when you do that something new, the only thing
that's new is our experience. Every thing, birth, death, heartbreak, graves,
trees. It's all old. We know what those things are because we've seen it for
such a long time, but the only new thing is that we make it new with our
experience. When we come here, we make it new and that's our purpose and when
we get busy with our purpose, we see that there's nothing else, nothing else
that will fill that in and there's no one else who can do it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: You know, one of the things that's really important
is also for me, for many of you that know me, know me inside and outside the
radio show and some of you know me outside the radio show, I'm not without
taking a moment and going to see a Mad Max movie, okay. I actually love the Mad
Max movie this time. Don't quite understand the "R" rating, but
there's got to be something about it and somebody asked me, someone I
interviewed asked me why I love that movie and what I think I loved is the
whole premise of the movie integrated the feminine in a legendary platform. The
whole Mad Max platform was never about that and they added a level of the
feminine in to the point where Charlize Theron basically came out before the
movie even came out and said "I don't know if I'm coming back" and
somebody said to her "why" and she said "well, if I come back
for that role, I've got to make sure that the vision, the vision of where this
was going is true and authentic" and that's what your show is about.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: Thank you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: True and authentic. Now this is a woman who can
write her own ticket. How much do you want Miss Future OCO of whatever she was
in the movie? What would you like to come back and she's like "no, no, no.
No that's not it" and for those of you that haven't seen Mad Max, I'm not
going to tell you the story line, but the bottom line with the trilogy of it is
it was to be based on her character, not on the Mad Max guy, so will the world
actually stand for that? Will we go to the box office for that?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: It might be that people don't go right away. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: they actually didn't go right away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: It might be something that we grow into, but
those things are out there and what a comfort it is for us to know that not
only is what we're doing effecting the macro, but that we have no clue how it's
effecting and all the long term good effects that are happening because we're
stepping into our purpose and role. I also wanted to say really quickly, we're
going to go off to break in a second, but what I also love about this and last
week the name of my show was Service: Memories Finest Decoration because it was
Memorial Day and I think that everyone is of service. Everyone comes here to be
of service and what I love about that is when you actually move into your
service, you really start getting a really firm grip on your self worth and as
a nation, I believe that we not only have individual self worth and individual
purpose, but there's a national level of self worth and a national level of
self esteem, that when we do our work, we move our nation into that and when we
do that as a nation, we move the world into that and so as we move into our
service and as you've been this constant light for so long for people, I think
that what's exciting about this, now I get to stand on your shoulders because
you've done so much work that what I'm saying and doing on my show is more, I
don't want to say accepted, but it's more received in that broadest sense of
the term. It's received, it's heard and so I'm so glad to have you on, but I
wanted to personally thank you because there's so much at the time when you
were coming on and before that too, but when people were talking about new age
stuff or this or that, oh yeah like Hooka Looka, whatever and I think it had so
much, there was so much resistance because there was so much that people were
actually resonating with, but that didn't match the reality. They were trying
to match their reality to the truth, the truth to their reality rather than
matching their reality to the truth and I think that the ground that you've
broken in so many ways is for people to accept that they can move into their
lives, that they too can break that ground and they can see what their lives
would be like if they knew they could not fail. We'll be right back. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: Welcome back to The Confessional. Here we are, we
are with Dr. Pat Baccili and I am just so honored to have her on. She is such
an inspiration, not just to me, not just to the very, very, very, very, very
beginnings of The Confessional radio show, but also to the world. To our region
and to the world and her reach, she's very far reaching, not just in airwaves,
but in spirit and in soul. She really does and when you listen to some of the
things that come on her show, some ideas and also the guests that she has, what
you're really getting is this consciousness that is just resonate with who we
really are and what we're really here to do and that's basically, I mean I did
want to have a political show when I first started and what stopped me was that
I didn't want to have a show that was more delineating and what I saw was the
politics and I do talk about politics in my life, but the political situations
are always kind of like that cloud mass and you're in the cloud mass. Yes I
still have to keep moving, I still have to keep doing, I still have to keep
active, but once you get perspective above the cloud mass, that's when you can
truly effect the consciousness. There was someone I heard her interview from
about a couple of years ago that said you never change people's minds through
changing legislation. You never do. What happens is you affect people's minds
by helping them to see certain things and then legislation changes and so I
truly believe that's what's occurring on our planet and as light workers, I say
this often. As light workers, sometimes we have our light on and we see things
we don't want to see. It's very difficult as a light worker to put the light
on, to get all the energy to do that, the courage like you were talking about
earlier and then you see things you don't want to see and it's so important to
see those things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: John DiMartini who is a friend of mine and I just
love him, but he is the master of contrasts. He believes and he talks about his
own life in terms of how you know if we allow ourselves to go completely
flippant, optimistic, we attract a completely flippant opposite of that and so
his idea is to stay neutral and what I'm struck by as I look at the world and I
always really question whether I believe what John was saying about that and
then I started to watch the world and I'm going to give you one example. Since
neither one of us actually talks politics, so I won't talk politics, but I'll
talk about an issue. About a week, maybe two weeks, I don't have the exact
date, Ireland, the country Ireland, voted for and they say
"overwhelmingly" same sex marriage. Overwhelmingly. Shocking the
world, shocking the Vatican and while celebration was going on for parts of
constituencies, airing at the same time all over the television was the
persecution of gay people in Africa supported and provoked by a Senator whose
platform was to do that and so here you have Ireland with this and then you
know, like what, two channels away, men and women being beaten to death because
of their orientation. Now what do I think about that? Do I believe we have to
have both to raise consciousness? You know, here's where I am today in the
world. You know, if it wasn't for the times in my life that I've been either
beaten, beaten down, whether physically, mentally or spiritually, I could not
rise up above that next level of consciousness that I was being called to do.
You know, pain, the bane of our pain, that bane, the bane of our pain is the
portal to an epic life and I didn't know that. You know you talk about when I
started. I didn't know this. I've learned it over these past 13 years, but the
bane of our pain really becomes a door that we get to open and so on the one
hand there's celebration by some and on the other hand, there's persecution and
you know so I ask the God of my understanding why and I think you gave us the
answer. You see, you gave us the answer. So that we can become more aware to
live in a world that's built around love and not hate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: That's absolutely the truth and the thing is that
we're not yet at a place, I know I'm not at a place in my life where things
aren't expensive sometimes. Things are expensive, emotionally, spiritually,
mentally and physically and monetarily. Things are expensive sometimes. I think
the choice we have in that is is it just going to be expensive or is it going
to be worth it? Am I going to take this and make it worth it because hopefully
there will come a time when we don't have to have that kind of expense for our
transition, our transformation. You know, when you think about it, I have this
thing. It's a short list of things. Try this in another country. We have so
much freedom here. We have so much freedom in our country that we can pretend that
we're not free and sometimes that takes our time, like complaining, but I
think, I mean it's a huge distraction and also it helps us to remember when we
see these things in the world, it helps us. That doesn't necessarily have to be
my experience of being thrown off a cliff in the Middle East because I'm gay,
but it's important for me to pay attention because that was incredibly
expensive and when we see that and when we see that we can make something worth
it, you have things that happen like what happened in Ireland and I think
what's important also is that people don't see those things and say that's the
way it is. That's the way it's always been and that's the way it's always going
to be, whether it's in your own life or it's in the life of the planet, the
globe because once we buy into that, that that's the only way that it can be,
that's the only way that love can be expressed. That's the only way that we can
move forward into what will be our history, then we stop having that experience
of being able to change our past and I say we change our past because we change
our perspective of what happened and if we can do that enough, it's kind of
like if you love enough then you don't have to be forgiving all the time, if
you forgive enough you reach love easier, but if you actually love enough you
don't have to be forgiving all the time. Well, if we are really keyed in to our
perspective and our purpose, then we are then creating a life that we don't
have to change our past so much. We don't have to go back and dig up and clean
up and look at "what was my perspective on that". We are truly living
in the resonance of the light and as far as that which you put your attention
to will grow, being too positive or optimistic, I think it's important to
actually know how we're defining that in our lives. Are we really being
positive and optimistic or are we being exclusive, excluding of what it is that
our life is actually going and where we're coming to to prepare for that next
level of development?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: Well you know, it's really interesting because if
one believes that we are being divinely guided and the decisions that are made,
even the ones that look horrific like the oil spill in California. I mean, that
is so heartbreaking to me. I don't even know how to reconcile that in my mind,
but you know as we look at it, the question mark then becomes "did we have
to have that happen in order for us to be reminded that we're not doing enough
in that area"? You know how else and someone asked me "well
Pat", who was it that asked me? I can't remember now, but they asked me
"well what do you believe about God? What is your belief about God around
this" and I said "I'll tell you what. What I don't believe is I don't
believe that God puts people on earth that puts us in our [unclear 41:15] so we
can persecute each other. I don't believe that because first of all, it is God
and you know God can certainly handle that scenario. I don't believe that's the
deal, but what if our role was simply to become more aware of a state of being
that is about love"? So I asked a different question. I said "okay
Seth, let me try to understand this. If you believe in this one God and there
are millions that do, the question then becomes why didn't this one God
cultivate a planet of people that were all aligned with him? Why do we have
people that are different? I don't understand that. Tell me about this God,
whatever you believe in." If we are in an all powerful entity, then why
isn't that entity then creates an environment of human beings that are all the
same? It's an interesting dilemma when you start to think about it, when you
being to think about the laws of the universe. What if we were all meant to be
different? What if the sum of us is so much greater than any individual? What
if that is the divine plan and acceptance is really our journey?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to go off to break and I wanted to kind of do a little Italian thing for us
because we're Italian. Speaking of how things cost, I want to go off into a
couple of Italian cuts, but the beauty of old wisdom really and also there was
a joke I heard. Someone was saying "Switzerland is so great because look
at this and look at that. Look at Italy. They've got all this rape and pillage
and Spain and they've got all these, the Civil War and all this killing and
blood shed" and the guy said "well yeah, but you also have
Michelangelo. You have Picasso. You have all these great renaissance period. In
Switzerland, what do you have? Five hundred years of brotherly peace and the
cuckoo clock". We'll be right back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: Welcome back to The Confessional. This is
Christine Cisneros. Our hour is wrapping up, but we have just a fantastic
guest, Dr. Pat Baccili in house today and we are so, so grateful, not just for
her being here today, but for her being on the station, on the planet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: thank you so much. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: Being on the station and really holding up that
light for others and for herself. Such a nice reflection of self worth and
service to the world. I love what you were talking about, new people and a new
consciousness. You see that happening all the time, new people coming on the
planet. Even babies, you see it and you're like "you're in there aren't
you". I see that soul in there and I think people are coming here more and
more because it's getting very, very clear about the work and the purpose and
there's such an exuberance, there's an excitement and anticipation about what's
going to happen in our life time and I say this too on the show sometimes, but
I don't believe you have to physically die to have to go on to a new life and I
think we do that over and over in this life time and what an exciting time in
history really to be living where so many have done so much work, such as
yourself and so many people have held things up so that we can move into those
new lives so it's unnecessary for us to leave the planet sometimes and come
back and move into a new life. What a great opportunity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: Yeah, it's an amazing time and you know, for
somebody like me who has been around for a few years, you know somebody asked
me if life has changed since I was down at [unclear 50:20] burning my bra in
1969 and you know I thought "yeah, most people don't even know what that
event was all about". I mean, you had to kind of be there. It's like the
old joke. If you're not there, you're not going to get it because we have moved
beyond that. You know, where you can now get a Patricia Arquette standing up
receiving her Oscar and saying "hey, hello". Can we just make sure
we're doing a sanity check on how much we're paying women in the world? Now
that's not bra burning, but certainly it's taking a platform and saying there's
still disparity. You know, there is still something going on in one of the
richest countries on the planet and who knew. Who knew that she would do
something like that and then Meryl Streep standing up. I mean, we all get an
opportunity to contribute so the question mark really is do you have your
contribution switch set to on or off? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: Right and how much more on can it be. We're going
to skip out to break right now. Exactly. We're going to skip out to break and
in honor of your PhD and being the doctor on the show, on the planet and on the
radio station here, we have a couple of cuts coming for you, but we'll be right

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: Welcome back to The Confessional and we're
wrapping up this hour. We have less than a minute left, but Dr. Pat seriously.
What an honor and could you, if you had something to say to our listeners
today, a message, a personal message, what would it be?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: I think the message would be where you started the
show. You know, early on in doing the radio show I had so many people from the
new thought arena that said to me "you've got to change your
questions" and I said why. They said "you say the word 'fail'"
and I thought long and hard about that. What would you do if you knew you could
not fail? That's me. That's my life. That's the way I talk about it and so I
don't think we should hide from the word 'failure' because in the contrast of
the world, what would you do if you knew you could not fail? It is on our
minds. Failure is on our minds and so we don't know it's on our minds, but we
will play not to lose and not play to win. We play life not to lose. So that's
what I would say. Stop playing not to lose. Play to win. As my friend Lynn
Brown would say, play to win at the game of life because this is an epic life.
You can achieve more than you could even imagine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Christine: Absolutely and as we all know, this is truly our
time. We are on the planet. This is our time and I so enjoyed having you on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr. Pat: thank you guys so much. I love your show. I love
what you're dong and I am truly inspired to do more. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

Kickstarter and IndieGogo are exploding entreprenurial markets and as more and more people get involved in this way of thinking about small business, our country will be able to slowly give the economic power back to the people.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: Hey everybody – welcome, welcome, welcome to the Dr Pat Show,
transformation talk radio, transformation.fm, WBLQ, KKNW, CRN and any other
place that you are thinking how am I actually listening to this show? I do not
even know because she did not mention how I am listening. Well so she came
across, my very special guest today, Austin Mews, and here he is. He is talking
about crowd funding but he is calling it in his fabulous book ‘start up fever’
and how crowd funding will rebuild the American dream. We had put out there for
you guys that we had some questions we wanted you to send in and of course, we
have those questions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Since
we went on this journey and started to look into crowd funding, in the short
period of time we mentioned it to all of you guys, the statistics on crowd
funding have changed now four times. The projections have changed and yet many
people are walking around, dazed and confused about what it is but more
importantly, how to be successful at it. That is why we wanted to do this show
and that is why this is so important because it really is important for you to
find someone that absolutely can talk about something in life to help us fulfil
our dreams but most importantly, so that we can step up and step in to a world
that is about thriving and do it in a way that catches the wave of this
phenomenon called crowd funding. Austin, it is great to have you on the show.
Thank you for joining us here, welcome to the show. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
Well thank you very much, it is my please to be here. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: So I want to talk with you a little bit about you for a minute if we
could. There are many, many things that you do in your life but one of the
things that I want to pin point is you really are an entrepreneur and in being
an entrepreneur, ten years ago it was literally an anomaly but in the world
today, after the ten years we have been through, becoming an entrepreneur is something
now that people are eager to learn more about and I want to ask you, what are
some of the challenges? What are some of the obstacles that you had to overcome
so that you could show up here today and not only be the author of this book, a
much needed book, but to also help other people carve out the lives they want?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
Well with regards to challenges I always believe that our greatest challenges
are going to come internally. Anything that happens to us externally is really
just a representation of our internal process so really it was about conquering
all the different bad habits and or learned kind of failure mechanisms inside
myself so that I was able to come into the outside world and be confident and,
you know, have success and react to it in an appropriate way and in a way that
would be benevolent towards all those around me. This book I think is a result
of that that I wrote because I really wrote it with the aspiring entrepreneur
in mind; someone who might have, you know, have a vague idea of
entrepreneurialism or might be a veteran entrepreneur but is looking more
something even deeper because I think that that was the hardest part about my
quest, was finding the deeper purpose behind it all. Yes, it is nice, I knew I
needed to make money and this and that, pay rent but beyond that I knew there
were also some, you know, grander purpose to the scheme of things as well so I
wrote this book to, you know, try and address both issues. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: You know, I love this because the thing that really annoyed be quite a bit
is the fact that there are so many people out in the world: entrepreneurs,
business people, you know, self help folks, that clearly are talking to us that
the American Dream is dead, and I love that what you are – I do not believe that
because, you know, I think I am living it – but a lot of people do and you
know, they are asking millions of people in our country to redefine their lives
in different ways. But I love that you are really taking on the idea that we
can rebuild the American Dream and I wanted to talk with you about that
because, you know, it is true about what you said. I mean, what is your
intention? What is each of our intentions in the world? Are we here to do good?
And I wanted to ask you about this idea of rebuilding the American Dream and
how important it is to you in the world. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
I think it is very, very important and as far as I am concerned, as long as I
am still alive there is an American Dream<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: Me too, I am living the dream!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
I think people just realise that the dream we had been sold of corporate
America and the white picket fence and the this and the that, it was good to a
point but we also need more than that – we need more than the security and the
comfortable lifestyle. I do not think we, as humanity, anymore are comfortable
with that security and I think people can tell by the state of relationships
and divorces and this and that in our country, that that kind of paradigm is,
you know, crumbling at the seams so we might need something more sustainable in
terms of, you know, emotional disposition to go along with the material
security as well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: Well, you know, I have mentioned the term crowd funding several times on
the show and you know, over the past bunch of weeks and you know, many people
are really dazed and confused about the topic and we have as a team, by the
way, we have set out on a mission. We started our mission about eight months
ago to really figure out, you know, what is crowd funding, how does it work,
how can we be successful? And what we discovered along the way is that there
are many forms of crowd funding but one of the most important things we
discovered is while billions of dollars have been made, and this is, I would
love you to comment on this, only a handful of people that actually venture out
to do crowd funding meet their objective. Is that a true fact?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
This is a true fact and this really points out the fact that crow funding is
just like starting a small business. So when you get these small business
statistics I would imagine that they line up pretty closely with the crowd
funding statistics because a lot of people go into it with a very overly
optimistic attitude and that is fine, that is not a big deal but the early days
of kind of going viral without a whole lot of effort have kind of come and
passed, you know. Maybe in the first days of crowd funding that was possible
but now it really just represents a great, great platform and a way to
streamline all of your small business efforts at a way lower cost than any
other traditional business would have been able to do in the past, especially
something like a bridge and ‘…’ or a, you know, even an online store where you
would require some sort of storage space perhaps. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">So
this really represents a low, low risk opportunity to try and launch a dream
and this way, if your dream does not go the first time, you can try, try again
without the massive overhead that you would have had to, you know, take a hit
on previously. I think the statistics of second chance campaigns are pretty
high actually, comparatively. So I think that is a good thing is, you know, it
shows if you to it there is a lot of potential. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: And you know what I love about this, is I love what you said about ok
look, you know, we need to approach it as a start up, you know, business so to
speak, and do not give up before the miracle happens. You know, right, that is
what we are talking about. We are going to take a short break. When we come
back we are going to talk about why this is a must read – you know, what is it
about what Austin has put together that talks to us about unlimited potentials.
We are going to take a short break, when we come back, we are going to talk
with him about what is it that he has learned that works and what should we
stay away from. Stay tuned we will be right back. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

welcome, welcome to the show. For those of you out there that have some
questions that you want to find out more about what is it crowd funding thing,
1800 9302819 – Mr ‘…’ will write down your question and then we will pop the
question up on air and Austin will give us some help. Austin before we do that,
why don’t you go ahead and give out your website and let folks know how they
can get a copy of the book before we jump into the conversation here. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: I love it. I want to talk with you about a couple of things and lets start
off with a conversation about who, you know, who are the candidates for crows
funding? You know there have been some articles that have come out and said
this is for young people and you know I am just not really sure that this is
just for a select group of people. What have you discovered on your way to
discovering crowd funding?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
No –<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: And maybe we should tell people what it is. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
Crowd funding at the base level, that is a good point, crowd funding at the
base level is just raising funds through a bunch of smaller donations generally
speaking. So instead in the past where you would have an angle investor or a
bank loan, you are instead now reaching out to the community at large via kick
starter or, you know, some of the mainstream sites more notably to ask for
donations and/or equity funding for your venture, whatever that may be, you
know, to fund your dream so to speak. So that is what crowd funding is, and
yes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: Well you know, and then, so here is the comment: you know there are some
folks that, and I am really thrilled to be part of an organisation, for those
of you out there you have heard me talk about a better world crowd funding, but
I have really been, you know, having to educate myself along the way as to what
works, what does not work, how to have ‘…’ start for things. But you know, we
are living in a world now where there are folks like you that can help us along
the way. Could you enlighten us as to crowd funding – who is it for and is
there a who is it not for audience?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
Oh yes, no most definitely – I forgot to mention, any age can most definitely
do this, any age, it is applicable for. I mean I would say that a lot of your
promotional efforts will be done via social media and online so I guess anyone
who, you know, uses some form of technology will probably have a better reach
per se than people who are not using technology, which I guess if you get high
enough in the demographic, maybe you know, some people are not using technology
as much. But still, it is for anybody because anybody can still reach out the
traditional route and get publicity via PR, via magazines, radio, television so
you can always go that route as well. You do not have to just market yourself
on social media. That is probably a big mistake a lot of people make is
thinking this is the only route to do it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">So
that being said, how to start like a 101 – you want to plan 8-12 weeks before
you start a campaign to build your warm audience. You want that warm audience
or that warm kind of group of people who have an interest in your idea. If you
cannot do that, if you cannot do the 8 weeks you are really kind of asking for
trouble because when you hit the ground, you definitely want to hit the ground
running because the biggest statistic that I learnt when I started crowd
funding was the fact that almost, you know, generally 40-50% of successful
campaigns, money is raised in the first 3 days. So if you know that when you
click go on your campaign, if you know you are not going to raise 40% in that
first 3 days because you do not have any commitments, you probably should not
pull the trigger. You should wait, you should keep building your warm audience,
you should keep building your following and realise that Rome was not built in
a day. There is no real life rush to this, you know, you may be in difficult
financial circumstances, this or that, but honestly it is better to wait and be
100% sure that you are going to have good momentum in the beginning and I think
that is the biggest key. If you are doubting yourself, ask an expert – you
should take some time and call someone like myself preferably and we can give
you insights as to why we do not think you are ready to start your campaign. I
think this could have helped me immensely in my beginning phases and I think it
would help a lot of people out there. So, warm audience is my first big tip I
think.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: You know and part of this too is some people say you have to know where to
put your project and I wanted to have you talk about that for a little bit.
Someone had commented to me not too long ago that you know there are like over
500 crowd funding websites out there, I picked the wrong one. I thought to
myself wow how is that even possible? Is that possible Austin?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
It is and it is not, here is the deal is if you have a good warm audience, it
is not really going to matter a whole heck of a lot which site you are on. Now
if you choose kick starter, you are choosing kick starter because you think
that you are going to get some external traffic. Basically you are going to get
a kind of snowball effect or if you get some donations then other people will
just organically look at your page. But as more and more people enter into kick
starter and their numbers double and double, I mean there are only so many
people they can put on their homepage or on the top pages so the bar is kind of
getting higher and higher on a mainstream site like that to get that free
exposure. So a lot of these newer campaigns, if you have a good warm audience
you can go ahead and use a smaller site, it is not going to hurt you, and you
do have extended visibility. But you just definitely need to weigh those
options out. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Generally
people only use ‘…’ go-go if their campaigns do not get accepted for some
reason by kick starter or do not fall within their parameters because ‘…’ go-go
I do not think has great referral traffic. Go Fund Me is obviously used for the
kind of volunteer or the charitable type causes so that is definitely a good
option for that but again there is equity funding out there, there is all kinds
of different options so it really depends what you are doing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: So, you know, part of this is really looking at where we are and how
government has changed right? And looking at, you know, a new way to do
business. You know, lets talk about how this has already changed the way we do
business and what do you think the impact is going to be a decade from now?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
You know businesses are really moving slowly to adapt to this. There have been
a few corporations that have chosen kick starter I believe to launch some
smaller products of theirs, which is good and bad. But really it is going to
make small businesses way way more competitive because they are not going to
have the overhead that these big box stores and that these large kind of giants
have so it is kind of an asymmetrical warfare on big business and again, this
is good and bad. But as big businesses fail, there is just more market share
other people and you know, more potential for kind of small business profits to
be had. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">So I
think America generally speaking is healthier with more small businesses alive
and well because there are just less centralised control and so we have more of
a free market and we can, you know, probably make better buying decisions and
get better products. But again, that is a big debate but there is a lot of
different changes and the fact that banking will not exclusively control the
small business market or venture capital will not exclusively control the small
business market, that is just going to create untold opportunities for people
all across the ‘…’ economic spectrum. I think that is one of the most exciting
things, is like where poor people in the past, you know, could not get ahead
because they did not have family help or they did not have access to loans,
they can now go straight to the people and if they put in the hard work they
can be very successful. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: You know I think that this is you know, this is something, crowd funding
is something that we are super super excited about and super excited about it
for a lot of reasons. One of the things that I wanted to ask you about is the
motivational aspect of this. I have had a couple of folks that I have known,
step off into the world of crowd funding and kind of like us, I mean we decided
to take the time to figure out that we did not even know what we did not know.
So our journey began with yes lets put one foot in this new way to do crowd
funding and then lets take a look at the second foot to get educated and
informed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">I
wanted to have you talk about this when we come back – how you have outlined in
this book are ways to achieve their personal goals, to achieve the steps, the
things that they want to achieve through crowd funding and that is what I think
you have done in this book. You know, you are helping people fill in the gap
that we discovered after we started to do crowd funding, which was, you know
what Austin, we do not even know what we do not know, ok we do not even know
what we do not know. But now that is why we have got you here. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">We are
going to take a short break everyone, when we come back we are going to talk
about some steps that you could take and we are going to talk about, yes, are
you going to take the blue pill or are you going to take the red pill? Which
one is it going to be? Stay tuned, we will be right back. We are going to make
sure you have Austin’s website and for those of you out there 1800 9302819,

with some details please let folks know how they can find out more about you. I

could, the best way to get hold of you. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

crowd funding so if you do not get your question answered, please feel free to

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: And what I want to say to everybody out there, and lets talk about this
before we kind of jump to the question I thought we were going to get to, but
you know, it is really a red pill or blue pill question. Here is what I have
discovered on the way to learning about crowd funding Austin, and I would
really love for you to talk about this. We are part of a crowd funding process
that, there is nothing like it on the planet because it takes the best of
multi-level marketing and the best of crowd funding and you know, this approach
is about asking people if they have a dream and desire and then help them move
through the process, which is truly about a pay it forward initiative. And of
course it is more, you know, there is a little bit more to it. But here is the
question really, along the way as I started to talk to people about their
dream, folks do not realise that they actually have a dream. So it is kind of
like, and I think this is your mission, to really help people be educated, it
is kind of like well wait a minute, that crowd funding thing that is for Dr
Pat, that is for Austin, the entrepreneur guy right? But that is not for me – I
am never going to be able to pay my student loans off. Can you really, can you
just educate us about, ok is there any project too big, too small? What have
you discovered?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
No there really is unlimited potential here as far as starting small and then
ramping your way up because what crowd funding does is it develops trust and
that is what you want to establish in your campaign as well. But it develops
trust between you and the community of people who support your dream, so even
if your project starts small, if you say hey you know I do not have two dimes
to rub together, it does not matter. What matters is that fact that you are
coming out with a genuine statement of intention to the public and you are
sharing your ideals and you work ethic and your kind of greater contribution to
the world and people, no matter what happens, have to respect that. You know,
they may say here and there but they have to respect the fact that someone came
forward with an honest intention to try and put their best put forward and help
some people out and build something new. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">I
think that once you start building that trust and that respect, you can only do
bigger and bigger things. I think in the future that people will, instead of
going to college they might jump straight into crowd funding and crowd fund
their own kind of career because it is a viable option for people because you
are just slowly building a bigger and bigger audience, especially with kind of
‘…’ platform and a lot of the newer ways to make a living out there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: I really love this idea because you know, let me just talk about two parts
of this, red pill, blue pill, whatever the pill is – for those of you that are
not familiar with the reference, one of my all time favourite flicks is the Matrix.
There are two movies that I absolutely adore that you have included in here.
Many people do not even know the Bladerunner but actually I understand they are
actually going to redo it. But here is the thing I love about this, one of the
things that we are talking about is on one end of the spectrum, young people –
I do not even know what the label is for the generation anymore. On the other
end of the spectrum, and one of our new channels, is ageless radio, for people
on the other end of the spectrum. Don’t we want to include the 50 shades of
crowd funding here if we could, all of them?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
No, I would more than love to and I have personally helped one of my older
family friends who, heck he is in his 70s now, and literally I was able to, not
single handedly of course – he put out a tonne, tonne of effort – but I was
able to help him go from literally working a retail job because he had fallen
upon hard times. He used to be an executive and you know, then there is age
discrimination and this and that, and now he has got his own successful wine
engraving business. He goes around and engraves wine bottles and he does
really, you know, he is doing really well for himself so I am all for that and
I think it is sad that we do not include the older community because they are
just as entrepreneurial minded, if not more, and they definitely, you know,
have proven themselves, so. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: Yes and not only that, it really is, as you point out in the book several
times, is that, you know, imagine a team of people coming together that
represent multiple generations of not only what they know, but about their
values and their desires. I mean there is something so incredible that happens
to creativity when we discover that we can use our imagination. You talk about
a number of different things in the book, I mean you have stories, ‘…’ hero,
you talk about purpose based economics but the one thing I walked away with
throughout the book is this: is that you can. It is you can do it Austin, that
you so beautifully have woven into the book – you can. You know not like oh
maybe this is for a few people. What is your vision and your mission so to
speak to help people be successful at this? What do you want to bring to the
table here?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
I would like people to have it a bit easier than I had it when I was starting
out with my businesses because no one ever really presented any of these
options for me – obviously they were not really in existence at the time. I
think if we teach young people that hey, you know, you are not always going to
like the work you are going to do if you are doing it with someone else and you
are not even always going to like the work that you do if you choose it
yourself but if you put in the hard work there is a dream out there with your
name on it and you are entitled to it. You are alive, you know, you are making
things happen for yourself so I want to help young and old to follow their
vision and realise that it is never too late to kind of make your mark on the
world. You know, it is the best way I can put it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: Awesome! For those of you out there, we want to make sure that if you have
questions you can give us a shout: 1800 9302819. Make sure you get hold of Mr
‘…’ and give us your questions. What are the mistakes? Lets just jump to a
question about the mistakes you have seen people make. I hate the term mistakes
but I want to cut right to the chase here if we could. You know, what are the
potholes people step in? What have you seen?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
Again, it is launching too early, launching over optimistically. Here is the
thing, if you want to raise over $10000, you really need to take this thing
seriously. You need to really go home and put your thinking cap on and write
yourself a business plan and have a plan A, B, C and D for your marketing
efforts. If you do not go home and do that then, you are, you know, praying on
a dream and wishing on a dream and it is just, you are going to need
assistance. You are going to need you know, a good video, you are going to need
solid ad copy and you are just going to need to have all the basics covered and
then probably you are going to need to reach out to other people with a larger
influence than you do and establish a good rapour and a lot of people also try
to do that too fast and too furious. It is like asking a good looking person on
a date within the first 5 seconds of meeting them, you are not going to have a
good result so people try and do that with crowd funding – hey, do you want to
go out with me? Do you want to go out with me? The community does not respond
to that, you have to build relationships, meaningful relationships and convince
people in a genuine way that hey, this is a project that will help you and me and
everyone else that gets involved. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: One of the things too is lets talk about the way crowd funding works
logistically. Many of the crowd funding sites you go to have various levels of
donation, right, various levels of contributions. Many of the websites say if
you donate at this level you get this, if you donate at this level you get
this. Is there like a magic formula for how to figure that out Austin?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
You know, I would look to other campaigns that have been successful. There is
no need to reinvent the wheel. You do need good perks and you need legitimate
perks that pertain to your campaign, you definitely do not want the generic
t-shirt. I mean who wants a t-shirt with someone’s campaign written on it? I
mean I am sure it has worked for a few things but unless you have a very, very
stylish t-shirt, I do not think it is the way to go. You need things that are
meaningful and unique. It has got to be unique and a lot of times it is
experienced based. So you want to offer people some kind of once in a lifetime
or very rare experience that they can get into. I mean when we look at the
weirdest campaign, it has obviously got to be the potato salad guy. Have you
heard of him?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: No, go ahead, tell everybody. Folks probably have not, tell us about the
potato salad guy. I have another weird one too but you tell your weird one. But
this is definitely weird, the potato salad guy, go ahead. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
The potato salad guy set out to raise $25, that was high campaign goal and
ended up raising $70000 or right around there to make potato salad and he did
it because it was hilarious, all of his different perks were things like I will
yell out your name while I am making the potato salad if you give me $20. All
these very strange quirky things but people just loved it, it went viral and
there was a lot of humour behind it. He also timed it with the 4<sup>th</sup>
July which was a google kind of analytics thing where people were searching for
potato salad so the guy, you know, put a lot of thought into it and way
overshot his mark so he did a great campaign. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: Well, you know, we are going to hear about that great campaign and others.
Many of you are thinking to yourself, well wait a minute, what if I have
something more sophisticated. Well you might want to check out exploding
kittens. Now even though that sounds like a strange thing, trust me it is a
game. But what happens when you need some help with the creativity part of
this? How do you go about getting some help from people and how do you do this
if you really do not know what comes first or what comes last? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I would love for you to talk a little bit there about that. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
Yes, most definitely. Well as far as you know, when it does not work out, you
definitely do not need to worry, you know, the main thing is do not beat
yourself up. The important part is you got in the ring and, you know, took some
hits – it is not a big deal. You are going to win another fight. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">There
is never a, you know, a story that I know where someone who tried and tried
still failed. I think people almost always succeed if they have semi-successful
goal in mind and so the thing is, you have already built a warm audience.
People already know what your project is capable of. You may just need to go
back to the drawing board with your message – why didn’t your message resonate
with the people you are pitching it to, so to speak? Why aren’t people
connecting with your vision and how can you offer them more value in their
personal life to help them? It needs to be less about you and more about them.
I think that is always a great ground rule for all these campaigns because if
people are not going to directly benefit, yes people can be a little selfish so
you kind of want to pander to the ego, pander to the selfishness and that is
not bad, that is just kind of how you have got to do it sometimes. So it is
just a way of doing business and it is being able to connect with your audience
and again, you have got to bait them with a carrot somehow to kind of get them,
because you have got to realise you are going to benefit these people long term
so however you kind of get them into your network in the beginning is good and
that will help them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">With
regards to starting over, I think the second chance campaigns have a lot better
success statistics. I do not know what the exact statistics are but I remember
they are at least double the initial success ratings so you may make some
mistakes the first time, that is natural. You are starting a business; you are
doing something new. One of my favourite quotes is I have I never begun any
adventure for which I was adequately prepared. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: I know, I have not either – I thought that was just me. You too?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
Yes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: Talk about this, radio show ‘…’. You know, for me 13 years ago thanks to a
forward looking station called kknwam1150, the only by the way on the planet
and pretty much, you know, still on the forefront to have alternative talk and
I bought my first hour of air time because I did not hang up on a wrong number.
Right? But I did not know what I did not know. I did not know. I made more
mistakes, that is why today, you know, my passion and what we are known for is
helping other budding radio hosts not step into the potholes. How do you go
about that? How do you work with others from a consulting point of view to help
them map out their projects? I think you do this, right, as a consultant
correct? Yes I would feel in for a second. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
Go for it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: I want to just tell everybody look, this Austin who is really, Austin Mews
who has joined me here today, crowd funding is not changing the game, it is
already changed. I love this. You know, start up fever is the book and it
prepares you for the coming change in entrepreneurial change in America. If I
had more hours in the day, I tell you what I would be doing. I would be on
every campus of every university for people that are first time students as
well as people that have gone back to school, and I would talk to them about
what Austin has put together. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">So I
want to tell you guys out there if you have not got the book, please go ahead
and get it. It is for executives, workers, garages innovators, somebody like me
that sold hot dogs at a young age, that wants to radically widen your
perspective on what is possible. I have been part of non-profit organisations
and I will tell you that fund raising, the old school way, is not just hard
work but it is also disappointing. It is back breaking. But thanks to Austin,
he has come out in the world and has said you know what, it just does not have
to be that way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin
thank you so much for all that you do. We have got a few minutes left. Just
tell people, if you could I know it is a short period of time, how you help
others? And I know you have had several successful campaigns, which is great.
So how do you work with others?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
I help others to craft exactly a step by step plan, how they are going to
proceed over a 12-16 week period to draft the campaign of their dreams and what
the, you know, actual goal that they need is versus what they think they need.
That is a big part, is determining the actual amount. You know you do not want
to undercut yourself and not have enough money to launch your business so that
is another big thing, another pothole for people. So anyway, I draft a long
term plan and then I work with them on a weekly basis to make sure they are
hitting their goals and then re-adjust the plan and tweak the plan as needed
based on the, you know, real time feedback and obviously getting from them on
the ground. I obviously refer them to a mirror ‘…’ other marketing services and
things like that to take ‘…’ the pressure off. You do not have to do it all
yourself and if you try and do it all yourself in crowd funding, you are
usually going to break your own back so you want to delegate and have a solid
team because people, everyone has a field of expertise and the more you can,
you know, lean on their bank of wisdom and knowledge, the better off you are
going to be. I just recently helped Sheila Gale, another host, to start a
revolutionary ‘…’ network service via crowd funding which had never been done
before so that was a really exciting success that we had together. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: And I love that. And so we are going to be filling you all in on how
Austin is going to help us launch our dream as well because the time has come.
You know, you all have said that, you know, you want more of this kind of talk
radio and you know, when we have decided to venture a little bit off, you know,
the path we are on, you helped us come back. Austin thank you so much for today
and I would love for you to share your personal message and again, give out
your website. Thank you for all that you do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Austin:
Well my personal message is for everyone to believe in themselves and to
believe that a vocation is possible and is out there for them. You know, I
always ask people to ask themselves the question what can I bring to the world
that no one person in particular can bring to the world? That is something my
mentor ‘…’ upon me so I think that is important. So it may take a lifetime but
you should be able to figure that one out eventually. Also my website is </span><span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://www.crowdfundfor[f-o-r]life.com/"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">www.crowdfundfor[f-o-r]life.com</span></a></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Dr
Pat: I love it – thank you all for tuning us in, turning us on. You are going
to be hearing more from Austin and I hope you have heard something here today
that will help you pick up yourself and decide am I going to live an epic life?
We, from all of us at transformation talk radio and the transformation network,
hope that you pick a resounded yes. Thank you all for tuning us in. We will see
