Choose Happiness Videos

Welcome to Season 4 of the Choose Happiness podcast! I am thrilled to kick off this new season with an interview with a truly remarkable individual. Jud Turner is a gifted artist whose work speaks magnificently not just to the eye, but to the soul. Known for his breathtaking sculptures and beautifully unique creative vision, he has carved a space for himself in the art world that offers not only exquisite works made from found materials but also provides a significant service to his community through his distinctive and meaningful public art installations.  But beyond the gallery walls and recycled motorcycle parts lies a story even more compelling. In this warm, engaging, and inspiring conversation, we’ll explore not only his journey as an artist, but also his deeply personal and courageous path to sobriety. With honesty, grace, and unwavering strength, he shares how recovery is possible by choosing to build a life that we want to be fully present for. I encourage you to watch the video of this interview, as we will be examining some of Jud’s awe-inspiring art in real time. If you are listening only, please go to his website to see the pieces we are talking about as well as all of Jud’s truly spectacular sculptures. www.judturner.com To see Jud’s amazing art in person, visit: The Oblivion Gallery 3923 Cross Street Eugene, OR 97405   Check out his phenomenal parking meter community art project here: https://www.instagram.com/eugeneparkingmeterart

Join me for a fascinating conversation in my Powerful Women series with CEO and all-around extraordinary person Erin Guard. She shares how in her role as a decades-long business owner she has built her extremely successful company on the bedrock of staying true to herself and her own core values and integrity. She embraces an "abundance over scarcity" mindset, which encourages her employees and clients to stop worrying about what might NOT be there, and instead to make what is supposed to be there, be there. Erin also offers stellar advice for anyone who wants to start their own business or make their current business more effective. I learned so much from this dynamic business leader and humanity-focused woman and I know you will too. Enjoy! https://sytecg.com/https://sytecg.com/

Join me for an eye-opening, inspirational, and stimulating conversation with the brilliant Agi Sardi. A true innovator in the world of STEM and IT, she is on a mission to educate and inspire women and girls to follow in her dynamic footsteps. Agi is passionate about equal rights and ridding the world of racism, prejudice, and intolerance, and her beautiful spirit shines through the screen and to everyone who is lucky enough to cross her path. Agi’s Book Recommendations For Human Rights Advancement: Caste by Isabel Wilkerson The Sum of Us by Heather McGee The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story How to be an AntiRacist by Ibrim X. Kendi The Nordic Theory of Everything – In Search of a Better Life by Anu Partanen For the Mind and Spirit: One Day My Soul Just Opened Up by Iyanla Vanzant The writings of Pema Chodrön and Jon Cabot-Zinn. Notes from Agi: The writings of the anti-racism/Black Lives Matter authors above shine the light not only on the importance of equality for all, but the importance of social democracy for an equitable future (e.g. diminishing the cruelty of capitalism).
