Today we'll have a really interesting episode . I

1:30

have three of my students in

1:32

the podcasting 101 class who've

1:34

agreed to record their first podcast

1:37

with us . Each one will have about eight

1:40

to 10 minutes and we'll hear a little bit about

1:42

each one of their goals , lives

1:44

and what's going on here in the villages . The

1:46

first one is going to be Alex

1:48

Lakatos , who's moved here to the

1:50

villages and he's a travel agent . Our

1:53

second speaker will be Ken Lee

1:55

, who is going to be running

1:57

a mastermind group on a national

1:59

basis , and the third is Rich

2:02

Radcliffe , who's going to tell us some interesting

2:04

stories about when he was working at

2:06

the Coors Brewery in Denver

2:08

, colorado , in the 1980s

2:10

. This is Mike Roth on Open Forum in the Religious

2:12

Florida . I'm here today with Alex

2:14

Lakatos , so that's pronounced

2:17

just like it's spelled In

2:19

English , it is In Hungarian it would be totally

2:21

different .

2:22

How would it sound in Hungarian ? Lakatos

2:24

Lakatos , which actually

2:26

means locksmith . So it's

2:28

got a meaning , okay , yeah .

2:30

That's cool . That's cool . Here it is . My

2:35

family name , coming from Germany , was Roth Apple or

2:37

something like that , and it's customs or

2:39

Ellis Island they cut off the apple

2:41

. It's fine . Alex was a student

2:44

of mine in the Enrichment Academy

2:46

course this year and

2:48

he volunteered to do a 10 minute

2:51

podcast with us . Alex , why

2:53

don't you tell us a little bit about your background ?

2:55

Mike , starting out early , most of

2:57

my interest was really in

2:59

electronics and technology

3:01

, and travel was not a thought

3:03

at that time . I went to a

3:05

high school where I learned electronics

3:08

and eventually ended up

3:10

going to college Fairleigh

3:12

Dickinson University in Teanac , new

3:14

Jersey , taking electrical engineering

3:17

. I graduated with a BS

3:19

in electrical engineering . First

3:21

job I got out of school was for a military

3:23

contractor , designing inertial

3:26

navigation equipment for a

3:28

military aircraft . I realized

3:30

pretty quickly that being an

3:33

engineer and designing was really not

3:35

really for me . I saw myself

3:37

more and a sales role

3:40

and as a result that I got myself

3:42

into the computer industry when it was just

3:44

in the beginning , early stages

3:46

, working for companies like Hewlett

3:48

Packard and digital equipment

3:50

corporation selling what was called mini

3:53

computers at that time , no

3:55

disk drives or any of the great

3:57

stuff we're used to right now . Ultimately

4:00

I left those companies and

4:02

ended up working for a company

4:04

called Codex who was

4:06

a leader at that time in data communications

4:09

, allowing remote locations

4:11

to talk to a central location

4:14

. After a number of years I've got to say

4:16

modestly I became an expert in

4:18

the field and I really knew my stuff

4:20

. I ended up meeting a guy at the company

4:23

who was hired to sell a brand new

4:25

product of IBM compatible equipment

4:27

and we became friends pretty quickly

4:30

. Now , unfortunately , the company let him down

4:32

and did not support that product line and

4:35

he ended up going into a

4:37

business where he wrote a resold

4:39

IBM , previously owned IBM

4:41

equipment , which was a huge field

4:44

, and the thing that made it work was that

4:46

IBM , as long as you had maintenance

4:48

on your equipment , would maintain used equipment

4:51

. So it's like getting an old car

4:53

and getting a new car warranty on

4:55

it . And so he said to me says

4:57

why can't you do that with data communications

4:59

equipment ? I had no answer for him , so

5:01

I said let's give it a shot . He gave me leads , we

5:04

did sales together . We did great

5:06

, really did great , and after a while

5:08

we realized we couldn't work together . So

5:11

I ended up starting my own company and

5:13

reselling very high tech equipment

5:16

, which eventually led to brands

5:18

like Cisco systems . Now , this

5:21

was an incredible experience for me and it led

5:23

me to do things I never believed

5:25

I would have done , for example

5:27

, getting into aviation . I had a fear of

5:29

flying and fear of heights , so

5:32

I figured the way to solve that was to learn to fly . So

5:35

I had some free time and I had the money . So

5:37

I did that . Ultimately , I

5:39

was able to purchase my own airplane and

5:41

flew it all over the place . So my original

5:44

traveling was really flying from New

5:46

Jersey , where I lived , to the Bahamas and

5:49

I was involved with an air race down

5:51

there and also a trip from

5:53

New Jersey to the Dominican Republic for a

5:55

big celebration that they were having down there

5:57

. And I still love aviation

5:59

. It's a real passion

6:01

of mine . Is the long plane ? No , unfortunately

6:05

, it got to be quite expensive maintaining

6:07

an airplane . I have

6:09

friends that have planes currently

6:11

and I go up with them once in a while . But

6:14

if I win the lottery or PCH

6:16

or something , I might get a plane , but

6:18

right now I let some other guys do the flying .

6:21

We had one fellow , a couple of fellows on the

6:23

show who deliver airplanes Cool . Let

6:25

me ask you this with so much information

6:28

available to us online today , why

6:30

should someone use a travel

6:32

agent as opposed to just booking it with the

6:34

cruise line , the airline or making it an

6:36

independent tour ? Mike , that's a great question .

6:41

I think there's a misconception by some

6:43

people that it cost you

6:46

extra money if you use a travel agent , and that's really

6:48

not true at all . I've

6:51

joined some groups on Facebook that are

6:53

people that cruise the cruise lines , like Viking

6:55

cruise line , and it's amazing the misconception

6:58

that people have . But

7:01

to answer your question in more

7:03

detail , a travel agent can offer expert advice Both

7:07

about the destinations and also about the cruise lines . All

7:11

cruise lines have a different personality , so

7:15

a travel agent would have had personal experience

7:17

both with the destination and with the cruise line . The other thing there's

7:20

a lot of complexity involved .

7:22

Is it okay if I ask you a cruise line question

7:24

. Sure , with

7:27

our Mercedes Benz Club here in the villages

7:29

attempting to plan a cruise for 24

7:31

and 25 . Naturally

7:33

, we're more than 55 years of age on average . Some people

7:36

are up into their 80s . What

7:39

cruise lines would you think would be a

7:41

good cruise line to go for five to seven days ?

7:44

I would recommend cruise lines like

7:46

Viking cruise lines , and

7:49

the reason I would do that is that it's smaller

7:52

ships , less people , less crowds . The

7:55

service is outstanding for people and

7:59

I've gotten a lot of positive feedback

8:01

from my clients . They

8:03

definitely would be high on my list

8:05

, as opposed to a ship that's got 6,000 people

8:07

on it and a bunch

8:09

of two year olds running around . Where does Viking start from here

8:11

in ?

8:12

Florida .

8:14

Viking , would you be finding Viking

8:16

down in the Miami Fort Lauderdale area ? They're

8:19

not at the Port Canaveral . Port Canaveral .

8:22

And what would a five to seven day cruise

8:24

into the eastern I guess it

8:26

would have to be the eastern Caribbean . The ground

8:29

numbers Course , wise you're saying I

8:32

would say ballpark .

8:33

You're probably looking at about $4,000

8:36

a person . That would be my guess

8:38

right now .

8:39

Yeah , OK , I don't know if I'm going to use

8:41

that . I think Viking makes a very . I

8:43

took both of the river cruises and the

8:45

transatlantic . I went . This has been to

8:47

.

8:47

Miami yeah , they have both the ocean

8:50

and the river cruises .

8:51

Yes , the ship is too small for the ocean

8:53

, my opinion . They made very small

8:56

stabilizers and so any little

8:58

way like that . I didn't

9:00

get seasick , but I found it annoying . That's

9:03

another whole story . So , Alex , if someone

9:06

wants to get ahold of you to talk about

9:08

using you as a travel agent , how do

9:10

they do that ?

9:11

There's a couple of different ways . One could be a

9:13

phone call , and my number is 352-268

9:17

, or they can email me at alexcom

9:20

.

9:21

Alex , was that a cell phone number , so they could text you at

9:23

the same number ? That's correct , mike . Okay

9:25

, good Thanks for joining us today , alex , you're

9:28

welcome . Thank you for having me . I'm Mike . I'd

9:31

like to take a break now and listen to Dr Craig Curtis . Dr

9:33

Curtis , what do you think the future looks

9:35

like ? Alzheimer's treatment here in America

9:37

?

9:37

I think the future looks very good . I think

9:40

that these blood tests

9:42

are going to make a significant

9:44

difference in our ability to detect

9:47

someone who's developing Alzheimer's

9:49

disease before symptoms , a

9:51

person who develops memory loss

9:54

due to Alzheimer's disease . We know that

9:56

disease actually started approximately

9:58

two decades or 20 years prior

10:00

. We know that amyloid starts building

10:03

up for approximately 20 years

10:05

15 to 20 years which then

10:07

initiates other brain cells

10:10

or to die off , essentially

10:12

, which leads to Alzheimer's disease

10:14

. We're trying to remove

10:16

that amyloid prior to that

10:18

so we can prevent Alzheimer's disease . We're

10:21

also attempting to want somebody already has

10:23

the cognitive changes or memory symptoms

10:25

. We're trying to figure out if reducing

10:28

that amyloid really slows the disease

10:30

. We now have , of course , the world's

10:32

first medicine on the market that is

10:35

slowing Alzheimer's disease

10:37

by removing amyloid from

10:39

the brain . We're looking at newer

10:41

, more advanced forms of those medications

10:44

that remove the amyloid much

10:46

more quickly in a matter of months

10:48

. So that's very exciting

10:50

.

10:51

With over 20 years of experience studying brain

10:53

health , Dr Curtis's goal is to educate

10:55

the village's community on how to live a longer , healthier

10:57

life . To learn more , visit his website

11:00

craigcurtismdcom , or call

11:02

352-500-5252

11:05

to attend a free seminar .

11:07

This is Mike Roth . I'm here today with Ken

11:09

Lee . Thanks for joining me , Ken .

11:10

Happy to be here .

11:11

Ken is starting a new business and

11:14

it's all about mastermind groups . Ken

11:16

, why don't you tell our listeners a little bit

11:18

about what a mastermind group is

11:21

?

11:21

Napoleon Hill in his book Think

11:23

and Grow Rich , talked about the concept

11:26

of a mastermind group . He

11:28

says that when two people individuals

11:30

get together to discuss some , a

11:32

third mind emerges

11:35

. I found that concept fascinating

11:37

and had experienced it

11:39

somewhat . I was singing

11:42

in a local barbershop group and they

11:44

have something called upnotes or

11:46

a ringing a tone and you

11:48

can have four individuals

11:50

singing their individual notes

11:52

and then you will hear if

11:55

they ring that tone . You will hear a

11:57

fifth note . It's a fascinating

11:59

concept . Going back to the mastermind

12:01

, I had masterminds with different

12:03

people , different individuals , where

12:05

we would brainstorm things and come up

12:07

with ideas . My wife said

12:09

to me why don't you do that with your son ? I

12:12

said okay . About a year

12:14

ago , december , I started

12:16

a special time with each one

12:18

of my sons . I have four sons and we sit

12:20

down via telephone for

12:23

an hour and just I talk about their

12:25

life , their work , what I'm doing

12:27

, hopes , dreams , ambition been going

12:29

on for well over a year . I have

12:31

never been closer to my

12:33

sons than I am right now and

12:35

I thought , if I can do this for

12:37

my son , maybe I could start doing this

12:39

for other individuals . So there

12:41

was a young lady who's a real estate

12:43

broker up in Upstate Upper

12:46

Maryland and we had done some business

12:48

things and started talking and she and

12:50

I started talking , doing a weekly

12:53

mastermind . It was beneficial for

12:55

both of us and it was very

12:57

exciting . And so with my son

12:59

, tim he is out in St

13:01

Louis he had a great time , coach , who

13:03

was raised by a single

13:05

mom , did not have a father figure , and

13:07

the fact that my son and I talked

13:10

an hour a week fascinated him . So

13:12

we come down to collaborating

13:14

and we're starting a group called American

13:17

Dream United and

13:19

information at AmericanDreamUnitednet

13:22

and we are offering a monthly

13:24

mastermind for free , no

13:26

charge , the third Thursday

13:28

and for an hour and a half we talk about

13:31

different topics for people who are

13:33

in business , people who are trying to

13:35

balance the family life

13:37

, work , they're trying to

13:39

balance the fitness aspect

13:42

and they're trying to balance their lives

13:44

. Because what I have found I'm

13:46

71 years old and I'm retired

13:49

, but I have found that there are many people

13:51

who reach what they think is

13:53

success in their life

13:56

but they're still missing something , still got a

13:58

hole in their heart , if you please

14:00

. And what can fill that hole ? I'm

14:02

thinking and the way I'm doing

14:04

things that significant can do

14:06

that Success is

14:09

where I pour into myself , trying

14:11

to reach my goals , my ambitions

14:13

, the things I want to do . Significance

14:16

is where I pour my life into

14:18

other and help them to achieve

14:20

the goals they want .

14:21

So your mastermind group is going to be done

14:23

at no charge to the participant , correct

14:25

? Is it going to be done over Zoom ? Yes , over

14:28

Zoom . So in May , what is the date

14:30

that the mastermind group will

14:32

meet ?

14:33

It will be the third Thursday .

14:34

Third Thursday of May , and

14:37

what time .

14:38

Eleven Eastern time .

14:40

Eleven Eastern time ? And how

14:42

do they get a whole of you to gain

14:45

access to the Zoom meeting ?

14:46

You can get access to the Zoom meeting

14:48

by going to AmericanDreamUnitednet

14:52

. That will take you to our Facebook

14:54

page , give you all the information . You

14:56

can sign up there and get additional

14:59

information . I can be reached here

15:01

in the villages at BeyondSuccessAtTheVillagesnet

15:06

.

15:07

Good , that sounds like a great idea . Many

15:10

years ago , david Sandler forced me to read

15:12

the Bowling Hill and in

15:15

many respects some of the Sandler

15:17

management meetings were mastermind

15:20

groups , and so I have a great familiarity

15:22

with what you're trying to do . It does help

15:24

a lot of people .

15:24

The other topic we wanted to talk about was the

15:27

other item we were going to talk about

15:29

is personal coaching . The mastermind

15:31

is free and people can enjoy

15:34

that as much as they want . Take

15:36

advantage of that . The other thing

15:38

we offer for those that want to go a

15:40

little bit deeper , we do have coaching

15:42

available , one-on-one coaching . We'll

15:44

group coaching . We're going to do Book Club

15:47

where we get perhaps a John Maxwell

15:49

book , some other great leader and go

15:51

through it , and then we have do-it-yourself

15:53

code through a source called

15:55

RightNowMedia

15:57

. We will give individuals access

16:00

to RightNowMedia where they can , in

16:02

the comfort of their home , go on view

16:04

a video and then set up a time

16:06

to discuss that . And again

16:08

, it'd be more like a one-on-one mastermind

16:11

. So those services are available

16:13

and as we expand that

16:15

will be available on the website .

16:17

But right now the free mastermind

16:20

is what we're offering and we're hoping

16:22

people can take advantage of that Just out of curiosity

16:25

, round numbers what kind of course

16:27

would it be for someone to participate

16:30

in the free and then wanted to have

16:32

some one-on-one coach ?

16:34

We're trying to target $30

16:36

a month as a base for

16:39

people to take advantage of different

16:41

aspects of that . We're still working

16:43

through that , but it's one of those things

16:45

that , with the free mastermind

16:48

and other people available , people

16:50

can get the help that they deserve . And

16:52

mostly it comes down to accountability

16:54

, one of the things that my doctor

16:57

tells me because I need to become

16:59

less of the man that I am , lose

17:01

some pounds that I need someone

17:03

to be accountable to so I have a nutrition

17:06

she encouraged . It's basically the same . Someone

17:08

is paying her fee , my medical paying her

17:10

fee , but if we do that in business , then

17:13

a peep title . So the prices are

17:15

all over the place . I know of individuals

17:17

. I know of an individual right now . He

17:19

is paying $1,800

17:21

a month for personal coaching

17:23

. Now he happens to work for a very

17:26

large domestic airline company , has

17:28

that in his continuation budget but

17:30

it runs the gamut of $20

17:32

, $30 a month up to $2,000

17:35

.

17:35

Okay , so there's a very big variability . And

17:37

again , if someone wanted to get a whole of you on the phone

17:39

to ask a question , what's your ?

17:41

telephone number 352-626-7581

17:44

.

17:44

If they wanted to drop you an email beyond

17:47

success at thevillagesnet

17:50

. Good Ken . Thanks for being with us today .

17:52

Happy to be here with you .

17:54

This is Mike Roth on Open Forum

17:56

in the Villages , Florida . I'm here today with

17:58

Rich Radcliffe . Thanks for joining me , Rich .

18:00

Thank you , I appreciate this opportunity .

18:02

Rich was part of my Enrichment

18:04

Academy course , podcasting 101

18:06

for beginners . Did you learn anything from that course

18:08

?

18:09

I learned a lot , mike . I learned

18:11

basics , I learned technology

18:13

, I learned website .

18:14

Good . Are you planning to start your own podcast

18:16

now ?

18:17

I have plans to start podcasting

18:20

, probably starting in the summer of this

18:22

year , that's good .

18:23

Any equipment you want , let me know . I'll send you some

18:25

of the equipment as I buy new stuff

18:27

. Now . In your background , Rich

18:30

, you worked for the Coors Brewing Company

18:32

in Golden , Colorado .

18:33

I loved it . It was a dream come true

18:36

for a person in their 20s and

18:38

30s to be working at Coors and

18:40

living in Colorado .

18:41

Now , you worked for Coors during the period of time

18:44

where Coors was not sold in every state

18:46

in the United States .

18:47

That's right and that contributed

18:49

to the excitement of

18:51

working for Coors . The novelty

18:54

of it and having come from the

18:56

Midwest and working for a Colorado

18:58

brewery was just wonderful .

19:00

Okay , you still enjoy Colorado

19:02

Kool-Aid .

19:03

I do . In fact , I enjoy it every

19:06

night . I have one of the beverages

19:08

that they make and just has fond memories

19:10

for me .

19:10

There was a period of time in my career where I lived

19:12

on the back of a 727 . I would

19:15

do four cities in a day , had my salespeople

19:17

pick me up at the airport . And I remember going to

19:19

Milwaukee , wisconsin . The

19:21

first sales call of the day , 9 am , was

19:24

with one of the brewing companies . We

19:26

go into one of the senior manager's

19:28

offices and he's got a big

19:30

pitcher of beer and four or five glasses

19:32

behind them and he picks up the pitcher , puts

19:34

a glass in front of each of us and says enjoy

19:36

one of our beers . I just couldn't believe it .

19:38

Are you thinking about Coors

19:41

and maybe how they maybe had free

19:43

beer for people in meetings as well

19:45

?

19:45

Did they ?

19:46

Yes , the answer is . We had free beer

19:49

in all the cafeterias and

19:51

people , instead of taking a coffee break

19:53

, would take a beer break , typically in

19:55

the afternoon , not in the morning . The

19:57

beer was very fresh and people

19:59

did not take advantage

20:02

of this in a wrongful way

20:04

. It was just an enjoyable way to end

20:06

the day . Free beers at the end

20:08

of the week might be something that'd keep

20:10

people in the office a little longer .

20:12

Say that last part again because my glasses

20:14

clipped the mic .

20:16

At the end of the week you might find employees

20:18

, including myself , hanging around in

20:21

the lunch room just having a couple of beers free

20:23

beers with some friends .

20:25

Good . Is it true that at one

20:27

point in your career with Coors you

20:29

stood in six inches of beer ?

20:31

It is true , it is very memorable . How

20:34

did that happen ? What happened was

20:36

that there was a union strike

20:38

at Coors and most

20:40

of the brewery workers vacated their

20:42

job while and management brought

20:44

white-colored people in to

20:46

take over their jobs . My job was

20:48

running a filler and a closer machine

20:50

. These are two machines

20:52

. Their shapes are like carousels

20:54

or merry-go-rounds . Beer

20:57

cans come in to the filler machine

20:59

without a lid on them and they travel

21:01

around in a circle and the machine is filling

21:04

them with beer . The cans travel

21:06

about two more feet up by conveyor

21:08

into a closer machine that

21:10

slams a lid on the top of . Hence

21:12

your beer gets filled . Now this goes at

21:14

a ferocious rate 1200 cans

21:17

a minute . So in

21:19

the particular episode I'm thinking about , there

21:22

were a couple problems technically

21:24

and the filling machine that's filling

21:27

beer at that rate continued

21:29

to run even though cans were entering

21:31

the machine , not entering

21:34

the machine . My role and I sat

21:36

in a separate little viewing room

21:38

was to watch this machine . 12-hour

21:41

shifts , a lot of beer cans , and when I saw

21:43

that happening , I hit the normal off buttons

21:45

. That didn't work , so I had to jump

21:47

out of my viewing station , go into

21:49

the small room where the filler and the

21:51

closer was and hit the emergency

21:53

shut off . By that time a lot of beer

21:55

had hit the floor . It was all

21:58

tiled but there's a drain , so it started

22:00

running off . I remember distinctly

22:02

looking at my feet . We wore

22:04

protective clothing even on

22:06

like booties on my feet , and my feet

22:08

were under beer suds .

22:10

Wow , that's interesting . Do you have

22:12

any other memorable moments that happened

22:14

to you while you were working at Coors ?

22:17

I think that employee sales was

22:19

another real benefit .

22:21

Employee sale .

22:23

This is where late afternoon

22:25

they opened up the beer trailer and employees

22:27

could buy beer at super

22:29

discounted prices . This was

22:31

not old beer or problems

22:34

with packaged beer . It was great

22:36

. A case of beer was $4 , with

22:38

two case limit per week . I made lots

22:41

of friends in my neighborhood because I could

22:43

buy them Coors beer at that

22:45

price . That was great . And

22:47

one other thing that's memorable there

22:49

were a lot of benefits at Coors . One

22:51

of them was the ski club and

22:53

Coors negotiated ski

22:56

lift ticket rate that were Very

22:58

discounted for employees . I

23:00

remember paying ten and twelve dollars for

23:02

a lift ticket to a base in the Keystone

23:05

, to Breckenridge Steamboat

23:07

and so forth . That's another favorable

23:09

memory Good .

23:10

Maybe you can remind our listeners why , in

23:13

the 1980s , coors beer was not

23:15

available in many states , and

23:17

that's that's what made the movie Smoky and

23:19

the Bandit .

23:20

There are two reasons . One of them was since

23:23

more popular in public , and that

23:25

had to do with shelf life of the beer

23:27

and the idea that Because Coors

23:29

was not a pasteurized beer , it

23:32

couldn't stay fresh for long

23:34

periods of time , that it might take to ship

23:36

it all the way to , say , massachusetts

23:38

or New York , or New York exactly

23:41

. Coors did overcome that by

23:43

Starting to filter their beer

23:46

with extremely fine filters

23:48

that kept it very fresh as it was

23:50

being Packed . The second

23:52

explanation and this is the one that I found

23:54

a lot of truth in is Coors

23:56

simply did not have the Capacity

23:59

to make and sell that

24:01

much beer . We had enough capacity

24:03

in the mid-70s to supply

24:05

14 Western

24:08

state , but in terms of the whole country

24:10

we were not geared up with production capacity

24:13

to Make and sell that much

24:15

beer . Coors did change that during

24:17

the 80s .

24:18

Is it still only brewed in Colorado

24:20

?

24:20

What I'm reading and it's been many years

24:22

since I've been with Coors so I may

24:24

be inaccurate here but what I'm reading is

24:26

the banquet beer is still brewed

24:29

only in Golden , whereas the Coors

24:31

light is brewed at a variety of

24:33

different brewery sites .

24:36

I spent 25 years in Cincinnati and

24:38

that was a big brewing Capital

24:41

before prohibition and one of the

24:43

fellas who was selling beer for a

24:45

number of brands left the beer company

24:47

he was working for and bought the

24:50

formulas for these old beer and

24:52

in the beginning he had other breweries brew

24:54

new batches of the old Cincinnati

24:56

beers and it became very popular

24:59

in Cincinnati and then he started his own brewery

25:01

there where he actually brewed the beers using the

25:03

old Warmule .

25:03

I think that was a real

25:05

major trend that Large

25:08

breweries like in house or bush Coors

25:11

, for example , had to deal with this . The

25:13

craft brewing , the small breweries

25:15

that started becoming popular in the 80s

25:18

, and 90s Simultaneously , I couldn't put them

25:20

up fast enough , I agree , and some

25:22

of the quality beer that I enjoyed was

25:24

great in Colorado . We had some

25:26

of those breweries in Denver .

25:28

I understand that you're also a writer .

25:30

I write Children's take

25:32

one . I write books and

25:34

Short stories for children

25:37

and currently have maybe

25:39

a hundred short stories that I've saved

25:41

in terms of audio cassette . I'm

25:44

working with a writers group

25:46

in the villages that focuses on

25:48

writing for kids and I find a lot of

25:50

motivation having people that are like-minded

25:53

and highly skilled as as classmate

25:55

.

25:56

I think you have converting those children's stories

25:58

to audible books or

26:00

podcasts .

26:01

That's exactly what I'm hoping to be

26:03

able to do in the course I took with you

26:05

, and all the information you shared

26:07

is giving me insight in

26:09

how to do it . Plus , it's also getting me motivated

26:12

that there's a way to share a very large

26:14

number of short stories for kids .

26:16

Mm-hmm , do you have the stories in written

26:18

form or they're only on cassette ?

26:20

I have over a hundred on cassette and

26:23

about 20 in written form

26:25

.

26:25

Good , great Thanks for joining us today . Rich .
