Ironically as a twin, Marc finds he has more in common with his sister than his fraternal twin brother. He shares a story of growing up with ADHD in a black household, which doubted anything was wrong with him. He feels that by missing the treatment of medication, he lost an opportunity to overcome the challenges of living with ADHD. We discuss the struggles of being a student with ADHD and how Marc overcame his challenges. Growing up with a twin, his mother fought to keep him in all the same classes as his brother and was always compared to his brother. He wishes that they knew he just learned differently. We talk about why gifted students get bored and do not perform up to their full potential.

Marc recalls how he met his wife and the beauty of their story. His personality won her over. Using humor to mask his true emotions, Marc remembers a time after high school when he felt alone and isolated. Our discussion shifts to the topic of love and the importance of self-love before having the ability to love another person. He ended up eating and drinking too much and became severely overweight. Working in a toxic environment, he shares how he had an epiphany one night while driving home. He considered committing suicide and was just seconds away from doing it, but felt responsible for the vehicle he was driving that did not belong to him. His care for another person's property was more important to him than the desire to end his life.

Through counseling, Marc found a struggle to find the right therapist for his needs. Once he found the right therapist, he received the help he needed. He learned that there was nothing wrong with him and that he wanted to help him. we talk about the importance of finding the right therapist that aligns with you. Sometimes you need to ask for another person if the one you are with is not fitting for you. Therapy can be an awesome, liberating experience and we discuss the benefit of working with a good therapist. He shares the importance of being yourself and not working to please other people.

Marc Hosts a podcast called Relatively Normal, which is about mental health issues and how to overcome them. He encourages people to communicate openly about their feelings and to learn to express their feelings openly. It's important to reach out and let someone know when you need to talk. Men and women express this need differently and it's important to learn to recognize the signs. Vulnerability is among the most powerful things, a true display of strength. Marc believes we can make talking about our feelings a societal norm. Managing anxiety is a challenge for him, but he diligently works at it and does his best in every situation. Change just one thing today. Find something that makes you happy and do it. Anything. Just do it. For you. This is an act of self-care.

As a therapist, Ruth believes in diving deep into the root cause or the why of experiences.

Todd shares his experience with Landmark Education and The Landmark Forum, as well as one of his favorite books "Your Erroneous Zones" by Wayne Dyer. He recalls learning integrity and the amazing experiences he had while there. Ruth shares how some people can experience struggle by comparing themselves to others. This is not a healthy choice. Ruth is about responsibility and compassion in her therapy with clients.

Ruth's parents were divorced when she was 14. She recalls her father being a principle-based man who was authentic and imperfect in the most beautiful ways. After several years her father tried to get back with her mom, but the timing was not right. He ended up meeting and marrying someone else, who unfortunately passed away. While he was grieving, Ruth went for a visit and found out her father has already engaged again - to her mother. They remarried and re-discovered the spark that originally brought them together so many years ago. She recalls her father sharing that what saddened him most is the thought of not growing old with his original wife (her mom). Her father passed away but left a legacy of humor, wisdom, and practical jokes - right up till the very end of his life. He was an amazing man.

She comments that men in later life who do not remarry have a higher suicide rate, while women who do not remarry later in life end up starting a bridge club. Men tend to take being alone harder than women.

Ruth shares a wild story from her teen years. She innocently went along with a friend off-roading and ended up getting stuck in the middle of nowhere. The guy she was with ended up climbing the fence of a local military base and ended up stealing a military vehicle. He ended up crashing through the gate in a stolen military vehicle. Not knowing what to do, she got in and they used the truck to free their stuck vehicle...and they put the stolen truck back inside the gate. They both got arrested for a slew of charges by MPs from the military base.

Looking at the core of what causes issues, Ruth helps people practice mindfulness, grounding, and other forms of emotional regulation. As a therapist, she strives to find what makes people tick, heal and learn to understand mindfulness. We discuss avoidance and delaying emotional reactions in certain circumstances. Through her innovative techniques, she experiences complete transformation with her clients in a remarkably short period. She helps people get out of their "story", which feeds the drama. She comments that people sometimes don't even seem to recognize their transformation, it happens in a very natural way. To do this type of work requires an ability to experience discomfort and work through it. 

Her latest book, "Therapeutic Mindfulness, A Healing Skill Not A Coping Skill" is available on Amazon.

Anne used to regret the time passing during her school years, feeling melancholy about those changes. As she grew into life, she felt hesitant about herself due to social norms. She recalls how special an opportunity it was when she met new friends. She was a good student and took life seriously at a fairly early age.

Anne explains how through a carefully controlled and supervised process, the use of psychedelics in treating mental, emotional, and even spiritual challenges. By experiencing a proper dose of LSD, Psilocybin Mushrooms, MDMA, or Ketamine a patient can experience a sort of "shortcut" to get to the root of any issue and discover an intrinsic, actionable resolution and change. This experience for some has provided results equivalent to years in therapy and treatment - in an almost instantaneous manner. For example, those suffering from PTSD, Depression, or overwhelming Anxiety could, in theory, address, identify, and resolve the issues at the core of their struggle.

Sometimes it can be difficult for the human mind to rationalize certain changes and possibilities, but the system behind the brain can interpret and solve virtually on its own. The trick is to access this system and influence it for positive change. That's where the use of psychedelics comes into play. Through a guided therapy session, one learns to better understand themselves, and when ready, a therapeutic dose of the chosen method is administered. Once the patient begins to experience the effects of the chosen method, the process is underway and the therapy continues until the effects of the medicine have subsided.

Through the use of medicinal psychedelics, a person can get to the root of a problem and eliminate it to enjoy a more healthy and meaningful life. Suffering is a normal part of the human experience, but suffering can be something we overcome. A person can discover new freedom and spiritual awakening with a supervised and carefully applied medicinal dosage.

Alan shares the story of his father as a double-decker bus driver in London on the famous Route 15 and his memories as a child. He shares his journey of moving to New Zealand, as well as how he met his wife. A true love story, his wife started out as a friendship and became a romantic engagement over time. He describes knowing she was the one and how real it was for him. We learn about his sense of destiny and the things that happened along the way that defined their relationship.

We learn about the birth of Alan's first child, George who struggled with challenges at birth. His son used to cry more than normal and had other signs of distress that were finally resolved by cranial osteopathy, which was a subtle treatment unlike any other. Once treated, George was sleeping more, crying less, and struggling much less. The treatment worked like a miracle. 

Along the way, Alan brought two more little ones into the world while pursuing his career path. Alan found himself working to provide a mental well-being app called Ever Yellow. After discovering the vast ineffectiveness of so-called mental health apps, Alan decided to create something that was indeed effective. Based on science, psychology and knowledge of human conditioning this app seeks to provide a way to overcome grief, trauma, stress and more. Alan became obsessed with this project and was consumed with it completely.

Realizing the struggle people have with mental health, depression, and suicide, this app is intended to help people find peace and escape the mental and emotional things that often slow us down in life. 

We wrap up by discussing the theoretical reasons behind music and frequency being effective in human conditioning. Todd shares his theory about how frequency works and the response of the human body. Todd shares the story of the water experiments and the rice experiment in the context of how the human body operates based on frequency.

The Ever Yellow App is truly remarkable in what it delivers and the possibilities for users. If you are seeking to improve your life, rise above a challenge, reach higher, and escape depression, the Ever Yellow App is completely customized around each individual's needs. Alan remarks that our mental conditioning determines our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and more - much like an operating system. The App helps to deconstruct bad input from the past (memories, thoughts, stories, feelings) and replace it with healthy information.

If you want to change something in your life for the better, check this app out!!

He discusses living in an abusive situation with his father and brother who has cerebral palsy. His father used to physically abuse both siblings and Peter remembers trying to protect his helpless brother from their father. He remembers blaming himself for the trauma he experienced and used to play soccer to release his stress. It wasn't until his good friend Mark from the UK noticed bruises on Peter and invited him to his home for dinner. That night, the family stepped in and provided a safe and healthy home for Peter to escape his abusive home life. This was the beginning of his new life and realization of his value to others as a human being. After 3 months, Mark's parents contacted social services to help Peter find a foster home and foster parents. This was the turning point in his life.

Peter recalls the love and support he received from his foster parents and how they supported him as their own child. This helped him evolve from his introverted nature to a more extroverted and balanced individual. He remembers going on vacations with his foster family and the wonderful memories created together. During his teen years, he played soccer and enjoyed pop music, including Robbie Williams in the UK. 

Before he met his wife, Peter shares the story of how he came to the United States. He recalls meeting his wife on a Philippino dating website. Ironically, Peter didn't want to move to Las Vegas and his wife (then girlfriend) didn't want to move to the UK. They started out as friends and enjoyed getting acquainted, which quickly progressed to a more serious relationship. He knew she was the one. 

We talk about Peter's career in real estate and how he helps people relocate to the Las Vegas area. He enjoys assisting others in learning the ins and outs of living in the Las Vegas area. Todd discovered Peter on YouTube by watching his channel Living in Las Vegas Info. He helped Todd find and acquire a beautiful home in Henderson, Nevada where he now resides. 

Finally, for those who have suffered abuse as a child, Peter is available to talk about the process of escaping the abuse, as well as reprogramming the trauma with a healthy emotional and psychological paradigm. Peter is living proof of overcoming challenges that could have held him back. Because of the love he received from his foster parents and eventually his wife and now 5 children, Peter became a completely different person. He is eager to pay it forward with the support and kindness he has received. He believes anything is possible when you set your mind to it and offers a level of service that seems rare in today's world. 

If you are considering the Las Vegas area in your future, Peter will help you in ways others in the industry simply don't. He is a class act and produces results based on each individual's specifications. Most of all, he is a man of integrity and a heart for others which is rare indeed.

Manuj shares his earliest childhood memory of being at his Father’s factory at the age of 6-7 and how it was a traumatic experience being around such heavy machinery and loud noises. In India, it is common for young people to work in various roles. As he grew, he wanted to be freed from the dark world of the factory world. Working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week as a young person taught him to understand how business works and how to manufacture things on a large scale. 

At the age of 8, meditation opened up a sense of self-awareness and a deeper understanding of the patterns in the mind and how to change them for Manuj. He discovered his love of computers and technology which led him to a lifelong passion to serve others.

We learn how he learned from his parents and the regret not communicating more with his mother before she passed away. His father still lives in India and works around the clock at the age of 80. Conversely, Manuj believes in the balance of work and enjoying freedom from work during retirement years. 

Manuj shares his perspectives on meditation and how it engages self-awareness, personal responsibility for what is happening in your life, and realizing the power you have to make the changes in your life that you desire. 

As he continued to explore working with computers and technology, Manuj found a calling in the sphere of Artificial Intelligence. Around 2007, Manuj began working with AI and discovered a plethora of parallels between AI and the human mind. We discuss how the definitions of work, collaboration, and other concepts will change due to AI. AI and data are the powerful tools that big companies are leveraging to generate wealth and influence long-term change in society.

Manuj believes AI will strengthen human relationships through enhanced communication. The best way to build relationships is to be a good communicator. AI makes this possible. This could make a positive change in online dating, social interactions, and other avenues for people to come together. 

As a problem solver, Manuj utilizes neuroscience and technology to help others achieve goals. He helps people find solutions within, based on the individual. At the core of Manuj’s talents is the ability to identify the how and who related to the solutions he creates to achieve results.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to share with all the wonderful people on The ToddCast Show. This show has been revealing and inspirational in ways I never would have imagined. We began this journey together on June 9th, 2022, and over the weeks and months have heard from unique people all around the planet.

In this episode, we will review the past 39 episodes and discuss key takeaways from individual episodes and an overall consensus between all the guests collectively. So let's sit back and enjoy this special episode and share the important life lessons learned.

What do all these people share in common?

Faith, Hope, Strong Values, Purpose, Passion, Integrity, Love, Perseverance, Happiness, Truth, Healthy Relationships, Avoiding Negativity, and Focus.

How can you use these life lessons to better your life?

We can make positive changes at any point in life, it's a choice and not always easy. In my life, many lessons come from within and are directly related to relationships with others. Sometimes the harsher the experience, the bigger the lesson learned. Sometimes it's just a small seemingly random thing too that teaches us the lessons we need in life. The important thing to remember is we are never too old to learn, never too smart to be wrong, and never too wise to be humble. 

I think it's natural as we age to believe we have all the answers, but we don't. It's the age-old lesson of knowing what you know, knowing what you don't know, and learning what you don't know you don't know...sometimes we simply don't know we aren't aware of something.

A wise man once told me over and over that "baby steps" will get you to your goals. It's true. While there are many shortcuts in life, the truly meaningful and valuable things in life tend to take time. Time, patience, perseverance, and a sense of purpose make us take that first step, then the next, and so on...

IMPORTANT LIFE LESSONS LEARNED

Live in true integrity - meaning, always do what you say you will do and when you say you will do it,

and the moment you realize you cannot do it, let the other person know. Tell the truth, always.

Always Believe In Yourself - But Learn To Know When You Are Wrong & Own It.

Never underestimate your potential. You have the potential for greatness.

Never be self-seeking in business. Always maintain the attitude of being in service to others.

Never undervalue yourself as a person. You have value just as God created you.

Never compare yourself to others. They are not living your life, you are.

Never choose hate over love. The energy of hate can hurt our minds and destroy our health.

And never say never...because amazing things do happen, seeming miracles.

Remember, one step first, then the next, and so on. Take it one day at a time, while keeping your eye on the long-range picture and timeline of your actions and achievements...even your setbacks. Believe it or not, a setback can be part of the bigger plan and might actually help you.

WHAT CAN YOU DO RIGHT NOW?

Get out there and be the best you possible. 

Learn to love yourself and others even more. 

Make a new friend, say hello to a stranger.

He felt good about things throughout life - externally. Internally, he describes things going downhill. He became less optimistic and depressed, which took its toll on his psyche. He recalls abuse as a child and somehow interpreted the experience as "not being good enough", even though he was. The disrespect he experienced in this trauma became confidence issues inwardly. The strain on friendships was related to his feelings of inferiority and lack of hope. Keith shed his negative thinking over time by exploring religion. He thought God was a rules person and something he did not need in his life. In high school, he played lead guitar and singer in a rock band and recorded and published his music publicly. His wife was completely supportive of this and helped him fulfill this goal.

As someone into rock and metal music, he received an album (vinyl) from a friend from a Christian Rock band called Resurrection Band. He found the stories in the lyrics interesting since they revolved around real-world experiences. He went to a concert for this band and began to discover his relationship with God. He became a Christian that night, which changed him forever. He felt a sense of morality and humility in the ways he displayed musical expression. He discovered God loved him and has a purpose for his life.

We discuss how we sometimes compare ourselves to others and create the illusion that we are somehow not as good as we could be. We sometimes are hard on ourselves and criticize ourselves, which seems to stem from the bad things that happen, rather than the good ones. We always seem to compare our bad selves, rather than compare the good self. Over time, his thinking changed and he discovered hope in relationships. His confidence got better with practice and time. He forced himself to be open in relational connection with everyone.

Keith recalls running from God in his early days and how he realized later in life how much it could have helped him. He was grateful to have had both parents together for most of his life. He recalls that his parents did not communicate openly, which had an impact on him. His sister was older and wasn't around as much later in his teen years. He learned from his sister's relationships and always remembered the one who would play catch with him as a child.

Keith works with business owners to help them take their businesses to the next level. He helps them realize their focus and purpose to increase profitability and value. He helps them to achieve what they want out of their business and in life. With his help, a business owner can make dramatic changes over time.

The earliest childhood memory for Brigitta was picking strawberries with her pet Great Dane and walking around the villages. She recalls having a very happy and protective childhood but recalling the narrow-minded thinking of some in the same area where she grew up. Brigitta remembers being the leader of the pack in her friend group and didn't realize her interest in boys until she was 16. It wasn't until she was 17 that she started to realize what else was out in the world and that was when she had her first long-term relationship of 3 years.

Brigitta discusses the feeling of being stuck and how that motivated her to make changes. We discuss cultural diversity and the need for some to travel and others who are content at home. Brigitta believes there are individual preferences within each and every one of us that we cannot put in a box. Brigitta loves to travel, and Todd hates to fly and is content on the ground. Coming to live in the USA from Germany was a huge achievement in her life. She appreciates the Land of Opportunity that America offers. In Germany, she shares that it is much more difficult and bureaucratic to start a business..." they will bury you in paperwork", she recalls.

Even with the stark differences between countries, Brigitta feels that one is not necessarily better than the other. Every place presents different pros and cons. When you understand the environment you are in, you are in a position to keep yourself safe, even in a perceived dangerous area. Todd shares his thoughts on being a responsible gun-carrying citizen and the dread of ever having to think of fending off a criminal with deadly force. 

We talk about the changes in society over the decades, increasing prices, and things we cannot control. Brigitta does not take hate as part of her portfolio, Todd, and she agrees that love is the way. Brigitta believes in living outside the box and helps others to find their limitations, communication, and behavior are holding them back from what they want.

The results you receive is in direct relationship to the quality of your inner and outer communication. She helps people look at themselves honestly and find what they want in life. She works with individuals, corporate trainers, and anyone who wants to change for the better. Brigitta helps people uncover the truths in what often play out as unproductive cycles in life. Her focus is to work to help others to create a win-win-win situation. 

It's important to practice "I" statements, rather than "you" statements. Owning our behavior and circumstances starts with I statements. It is not about the other person, it is you. We must learn to differentiate between you and I statements and own the outcomes.

As a youngster, Bob was sickly and often stayed with his Grandparents by design. He struggled with asthma at this time. He had Chihuahuas growing up, which did not affect his asthma. Todd shares that Chihuahuas come from a crossbreed of a sewer rat and a Doberman Pincher. Bob shares that his Mother still inhabits his childhood home. He reflects that a stable home life helped keep him from harder-edged life experiences. We discuss drug addiction and the issues of choosing this path. His family was always there for him.

Bob reminds Todd he is likely not the reason for all this and that an issue has many components. Depression is a version serious situation that needs to be addressed. Todd misses his family and his inability to compromise and close with them. He would enjoy talking with his estranged family members but realizes they think differently. 

Bob reflects on his relationships in high school and when he gets into dating around age 17, the same age he graduated high school. He used to have long, curly hair and was constantly mistaken for a heavy metal musician, but he never practiced an instrument. If he were to, he would sing by choice. Bob didn't find his direction in life until age 28. 

As a 20+-year veteran of broadcasting, Bob is exploring the Podcast world to enjoy communicating with others. He enjoys working alone and is very technically minded. He shares the air currently with his co-host Miles on his radio show of 24 years. Bob currently works at a non-profit helping people and enjoys being in the background, enabling others to do their thing. 

Bob reminds us that moderation is key in all things. Knowing your limits and staying within them is vital to stay on track. Todd talks about how he discovered marijuana at age 11 and the positive impact of that experience throughout life. He continues with a story about his first LSD trip on a Halloween night in Southern California in High School. That changed his life in truly amazing ways, changing many things in ways that seemed genuinely magical. He talks about how he became a vegetarian and what acid did to resolve issues in astounding ways.

We discuss Timothy Leary and the potential to broaden thought with LSD. Bob ends with a funny story about being sober and dealing with two girlfriends on LSD. Todd talks about how he used to ride around on his bicycle in the forests of Humboldt county in college on LSD without lights and the adventures of his earlier years along those lines.

The best advice in life Bob shares is to believe in yourself. You don't have to be the best at anything; you just have to do something you like. What matters is that you enjoy it, not that you become something. Never compare yourself to others. Be there for yourself. No one else will. Don't be afraid or ashamed to ask for and seek help when you need it.

Bob has no agenda and nothing to promote. Go check him out!

His parents were married for 55 years and always expected a lot from Nicky and his two brothers. This made him pursue success in a bold way throughout his life. We discuss how violence is sometimes the answer in defense of someone or something. Nicky shares how he feels we are living in the "weak man era" and how we need more people to step up before society collapses altogether. We discuss the importance of overcoming fear in life. When he first arrived in Canada, he found it difficult to adjust, which lasted for several years. He missed Iran which made it hard to acclimate to a new Country. He recalls how loyalty was the glue between people in Iran. He didn't notice these values in Canadian people for quite some time. Eventually, he found his stride and became comfortable living in Canada.

Nicky recounts how his parents worked hard to assimilate and become connected to their new culture. We discuss generational differences in relationships and the effort to destabilize western society and diminish manhood, patriotic viewpoints, and traditional values. We discuss the book of Revelations and Todd admits he would rather it all be a big surprise when Jesus comes to take us home. Nicky was very much into music and reading during his teen years. We discuss the value and beauty of a connection to God and the importance of it in life. Todd shares his love of the author Richard Bach and how the book Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah influenced him in his teen years.

Helping people is Nicky's passion and he is very good at it. He helps people add zeroes to their income, become physically fit, and enhance life in many ways. He shares how sometimes people in business are good at what they do but do not understand how to run a thriving business. Nicky helps people accomplish this through teaching and coaching. We talk about how sometimes people are afraid to ask for the money they deserve and must focus on the help they provide to others - that warrants the value of their service.

People buy their way out of something, not into something. What we do must address the pain someone is having and provide a solution to it. Discuss how you will help others, not the product or service you have to sell. Don't undervalue your service offering. Expectancy bias provides for a higher price for higher-value solutions. Narrow your focus and don't generalize or try to serve everyone. Answer the question "how does what you do help me"?

Nicky can help you become an entrepreneur and create a roadmap to unlimited success by understanding what you need to do to get where you want to be. He will help you find your reason why and what to do to make things grow. He gets real with his clients and helps people find the way to their success. "Seek the truth and the truth shall set you free". Nicky wraps up with a heartwarming story...

We fight toxic emotions when we seek forgiveness and apology. Todd shares the joy and gift of being accepted again by Dr. Carolle. They recount the connection they share and that it took strength to reconnect again.

Dr. Carolle was born in Port Au Prince, Haiti. Her grandfather was a very well known healer, voodoo priest, and herbalist. Her grandmother was a very stong, renaissance woman who reinforced the belief that she could do anything in her life that she wanted to. She shares that her gifts come from her family. After battling a terrible illness, she was healed and became determined to practice medicine and heal others. 

She attended a prestigious private school in Haiti, was a volleyball star, and even made it to the Olympics but through a strange coincidence was not able to compete. We discuss our ancestry and both being descendants of Napoleon Bonaparte and Joachim Murat. 

We discuss the gift of healing and how it works "without the knife". Dr. Carolle discusses how a person must ask to be healed and to believe it is possible. She shares her first hands-on healing experience with a patient and the series of events that occurred. Her healing gifts come from her Grandfather and she is proud and thankful to share this gift with others. She recounts that the Holy Spirit is the focus of asking for the healing process. 

Healing is a choice that a recipient can receive or deny, based on belief. She shares that she is simply a conduit of God and the power of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. 

Todd shares a story about his late father literally removing a lung tumor through spiritual and mysterious means back in 1970. His father was brought in for surgery and told the doctors "the tumor is gone", and eventually the doctors agreed to x-ray his chest again and sure enough - the tumor was gone, literally overnight. His father's story inspires Todd to believe in the power of natural and spiritual healing. 

Dr. Carolle's latest writings address spiritual healing practices and lead the reader to understand how to receive the healing in an effective manner. Todd shares that he struggles with his estranged family members for what they did and finally realized he can forgive without having to forget. For him, this was a tough distinction to make and took decades to finally realize. He often wonders how family can destroy itself in the manner his did. 

Dr. Carolle wraps up sharing that she intends to continue her journey through education and ongoing healing for others. Her books are a valuable resource for anyone seeking true healing and to escape the mind-body-spirit loop of negativity that often creates disease. She shares that everyone knows the "why" of disease and just need to find it to enable healing. Through forgiveness and love, this gift is accessible to all who seek it.

Hailing from Austria, Michaell struggled with systems in school and describes it as being very "clicky" and was based on association more than personal achievement. He learned to communicate and effectively interact with others while struggling to complete some of the educational requirements. This caused him to repeat certain classes in order to pass the class. 

Dyslexia does not impact speech, only writing and reading. He credits having a strong spirit to overcome these challenges and discover his true potential. Michaell shares his thoughts on self-shaming and the feelings associated with dyslexia. 

As a young person, Michaell reflects that he wasn't interested in the same things as other young people. He preferred to speak with adults, doctors, and others outside his age group. Neurodiverse people need alone time to reflect and process. This is heightened with dyslexia and autism. 

His parents allowed Michaell to be himself, to discover his own path in life. They were never pushy and were neutral in many situations. We discuss living by a positive set of values. Humans are DNA driven by forces that promote inclusivity and human relationships. We learn from one another and become enriched by this experience. The desire to connect deeply with others is a natural process and the highest factor in longevity is human relationships. For better or worse. To live longer, choose healthy human relationships. This important factor can get lost in the minds of people but can make a significant difference in the quality and longevity of life. 

Michaell realized he is an artist, not by the system's standard, but by his own standards. He argues that systems of society can delude and separate people from nature. Creativity is the best way to unveil who you are. His book "Smart of Art 2" discusses neurodiversity and how these "conditions" are actually a superpower. By seeing outside of systems, we recall we are part of nature and nature has all the answers available for us to discover. 

Unaware people make wrong choices without even knowing it. Michaell can help individuals and corporations unlock the power and value of awareness and turn that into success.

Memories for Alex, he shares, revolve around useful information, which is why it can be arduous to recall early life experiences. We delve into the idea that early experiences shape our interpretation and reaction to things in later life. Alex has lived in a variety of countries, including the Soviet Union, Israel, Japan, and the USA, and he reflects on his experiences adapting and assimilating to new cultures.

As a Russian speaker, he recalls making a conscious effort to maintain his accent to set himself apart from the crowd. He candidly recounts what it was like to live in these different countries, describing the challenges he faced in each one.

Todd shares a little of the Old West story of his home in Mayer, Arizona, while Alex reveals that, as a child, he felt people were constrained and lived according to other people's expectations. However, he believed that he could be the best at anything he set his mind to, and he recalls being drawn to early 1900s America as a child.

Upon arriving in America in his 20s, he went to live with his brother and discovered a desire to put his talent and energy into things of genuine value. He experienced cognitive dissonance and felt he could do more in his life. His wife was extremely supportive of his entrepreneurial inspirations and pursuits. While Alex enjoys acting on impulses, he uses his logical mind to balance out his ambitions and achieve the desired outcome. Todd shares how his background has naturally and unexpectedly led to the ability to overcome challenges in the future.

Alex opines that the world suffers from an overabundance of "click bait" and reminds us that the real problem lies in the users themselves. He imagines a system called The Other Web, which blocks advertising and aggregates many popular online destinations, including search engines, wikis, social platforms, and more. His aim is to provide unbiased results and eliminate "bad" advertising methods. Using AI machine learning, he leverages technology to minimize human labor hours and maximize outcomes. His system runs on open source to allow anyone to review and analyze every aspect of the system.

The Other Web allows for unique interactivity with search options, as well as the ability to disable elements that would likely be advertising. The end result is a genuine and accurate resource that removes the content that is "advertising motivated." It seeks to maintain authenticity in the user experience. Alex wraps up with a message to the world: "keep principles in mind, what you put into your brain is similar to what you put into your body." Stop consuming junk and tune out the noise.

Todd ends with a valuable life lesson: "we know what we know, we know what we don't know, and we don't know what we don't know." That last one is the most challenging.

We discuss the Child Tax Credit changes for 2023 and the impact it will have on filers this year. This effects filers with children under 17. The difference between a credit and deduction is an important factor in filing taxes. Deductions are Federal and reduce overall taxable income. The standard deduction is applied and the remainder is taxable income. Tax credits are a dollar for dollar reduction of your income.

Neal explains the importance of hiring a tax professional for certain filers vs. doing it themselves. Depending on the individual's unique tax situation, it may benefit the filer to seek professional advice to maximize the benefits of tax laws in favor of the filer. He shares the difference between CPAs, EAs, and CFPs, as well as the benefits of working with each. We learn that each tax return is the responsibility of the filer, even though the hired tax professional signs their name on the return. Neal cautions against working with a referral at a low cost at the expense of potentially having filing issues. The importance of experience can make the difference between a favorable outcome and an IRS audit.

We explore traditional options in retirement and how taxes apply to long term savings and retirement. Also, Neal reveals that the IRS are actually nice people who simply want to do their jobs. They are not out to get anyone and simply want filers to follow current tax laws and procedures. We discuss quarterly payments for self employed individuals and for new business owners, we learn that with a proper strategy an individual can minimize their tax liability at tax time.

Finally, we learn about a real life story where Neal was able to help a client back file his taxes to recover $28,000 by simply filing married vs married, filing separately. A previous, less experienced tax expert didn't advise the client properly and ended up costing the client in the refund amount he could have received. We learn that you can file amended returns for the past 3 years. Whether you think you know tax law, unless you are a professional with real life experience - it's more than likely a tax professional will positively impact an individuals overall tax situation.

Neal contributes his knowledge and experience in an altruistic manner and simply wants to help people reduce the stress and anxiety at tax filing time. Don't wait till the last minute, the deadline for standard filing is April 18th, 2023.

We learn how self employed or 1099 workers can open the door to more tax strategies through deductions and other allowable items. Unlike W2 employees (standard job, tax withholding by the company), self employed individuals can write off or deduct mileage, as well as expenses related to the business activities. Having children of age (10 or older) can perform a jobs function with the self-employed company to enable them to be paid up to $12,950.00 (standard deduction) as an employee. This allow for further deductions and lessening your overall tax liability. Custodial parents typically switch back and fourth with filing the child on their tax returns (in a divorce or separation, living separately).

The highest marginal tax rate currently in 2023 is 37% if the person earns more than $539,999 (single) or $647,850 (married). At one point in history, we had tax rates as high as 90% during the 40s-50s due to the Great Depression. Even in the 1980s, it was almost 50%. We are actually in the lowest tax rate environment we have ever been in. Even though we don’t enjoy it, we should be happy the tax rates are as low as they are…even though it doesn’t seem like it. Without the taxes we will be unable to support Government and Society properly, which is why it is important to pay your taxes. When we are making a good income, save and position your wealth so that you can dramatically decrease the impact Uncle Sam has on you at tax time.

Tax laws enable many opportunities for reducing tax liability that are perfectly legal, ethical and above boards. The trick is knowing the strategies and how to implement them effectively.

We discuss gig workers and the overall gig economy and qualifying deductions and expenses, which are one of the factors in reducing your tax liability. Even older equipment can be utilized through depreciation and can qualify as a deduction. Everything from phones, gas, food and meals, to equipment and office related costs can qualify as a deduction. It is possible to operate at a loss with expenses greater than income, but only during the first year. This is fairly common.

Conversely, a W2 employee is someone who has taxes withheld by the company they work for, but people need to remember to choose the proper withholding amount during the hiring process. if a person does not withhold enough, they will owe taxes at the end of the year. Those who withhold the proper amount will likely receive a refund at the end of the year. Bonuses are also taxed, which can be a surprise to some filers. Supplemental wages have a different tax rate, which applies to a bonus earned.

Lance created a “Bucket Strategy” that he uses to reduce tax liability and maximize return. He has also authored a book outlining strategies used successfully with real clients over the years. The key to developing wealth is to start early. Compounding wealth is the vehicle. If starting late, save more to make up for lost time.

His book “More Wealth, Less Taxes” helps readers learn to invest and save while lessening their tax liability and leveraging strategies available to them. If you want to have more money in retirement, Lance can help you make it happen as long as you are patient.

Bob Wheeler CPA from West Los Angeles is the first featured tax professional in our special 2023 Tax Series on The ToddCast Show. Born in Oakland, CA. he went to college in Memphis, TN. He pursued accounting in school to increase his GPA and originally wanted to be a lawyer, until he met some lawyers...

Over time he decided to start an accounting firm to serve those seeking professional tax support. His firm specializes in entrepreneurs and professional entertainers. On the side, Bob performs stand up comedy and has a special gift for relieving tension surrounding taxes. He single handedly rescued The Comedy Store through applying solid tax strategy to save over $100,000 in back taxes. His gifts are adaptable to a wide variety of tax situations.

We discuss the emotions associated with filing taxes and why people stress out about it. Bob remarks that it's about strategy and preparedness ahead of time. His busiest months are November and December in preparation for next April's filing deadline. He reminds us we must simply prepare and file according to the laws of the land to avoid penalties and interest. We have just 3-4 years to back file taxes and Bob suggests not letting it slide, you might have refunds waiting for those years. Claim it before you lose it.

Bob shares that you don't have to be great with numbers to benefit from tax strategy. It's important to keep track of expenses, income, and other relative documents and data to be ready to file. This, in addition to setting the money aside from your income (if self employed or 1099) to pay your tax liability. If you are not withholding for taxes, making quarterly estimated tax payments will save you from a larger tax bill at the end of the season. The IRS bases it's estimates on previous years, not the future. The amount you choose to withhold depends on the tax bracket you are currently in or the average of your previous year's steady income.

W2 employees must choose the correct withholding amount for both Federal and (where applicable) State taxes. This amount will determine your tax refund or liability amount. Withhold more now and get a bigger refund, withhold less and possibly owe taxes. It's always better to be safe than sorry by withholding a little more. Even if you cannot afford to pay, the IRS will work out a payment plan and you can avoid a 20% penalty for not filing. They currently offer terms over a maximum of a 6 year re-payment period.

We discuss how to contribute to retirement and minimize tax liability through 401k, IRA (taxed on withdrawal), Roth (pre-taxed investment) IRA and RITs. Investing in funds vs. individual stocks provide options for financial growth. Bob shares current trends and tips for tax filing in 2023, as well as examples of various tax situations he assists clients with on a daily basis. Bob is a very knowledgeable and capable tax strategist and financial consultant dedicated to helping others.

They talk about the spiritual aspect of dating, the unhealthy aspect of social media and influencers, and the importance of being in touch with ourselves. Michelle shares her own experience with changing her mindset to attract healthier relationships. Todd asks her about the best way for men to approach women in public, and they discuss the importance of women approaching men as well. Lastly, Michelle talks about her "offline movement" which is designed to help single people meet each other through wristbands available on her website. She is also a male empowerment coach and helps men to achieve what they want in life through self-awareness and better decision making.

Michelle recalls as a child she wanted to be what her parents wanted her to be, and how she is not the same person today as she envisioned as a young person. Her parents have been married for 45 years and remain together. We talk about childhood memories and how she feels as a parent today in comparison to when she grew up and changes in society. She is grateful and thankful for her life.

Michele believes the issue is about people not knowing who they are and what they want in life. It can take a long time to discover who we really are inside and remove expectations learned along the way through others.

Todd talks about the spiritual aspect of dating and meeting people, in contrast with the typical matching criteria used in modern dating applications. We talk about the unhealthy aspect of social media and influencers. Michelle shares how we attract people based on what we are thinking and feeling and how we can change this for the better. She shares how her own needy nature attracted needy people and how she changed it to enjoy healthier, more balanced relationships.

Michelle shares how people are out of touch with themselves because of comparisons made with unrealistic and often not real images. Todd asks how men can best approach women in public in a comfortable and non-threatening manner. Michelle shares how some people are open to being approached while some are not. The best is a situation with a common interest that does not interrupt, for example in a grocery store.

Todd talks about the importance of women approaching men and asks Michelle why women don't approach men more and if the did, what would happen? She shares that energetics is at play and the masculine (giving) and feminine (receiving) energies must be in congruence. Women want to feel special, protected, secure, safe, and adored.

The offline movement is Michelle's creation designed to help single people meet each other in a simple, clever new way. This is in the form of wristbands that are currently available on her website. This is her solution to helping others meet without the traditional complications associated with it. The wristbands are designed for both those seeking romance, or just friendship.

Michelle is a male empowerment coach and she builds high value men who get what they want through self-awareness and to make better decisions to get what they want in life.

Married for 31 years, he credits his wonderful wife with providing harmony in his life. Alan recalls his first clarity of purpose in life during his teenage years. He studied yoga and spirituality which led to him asking if there is anything more he could be experiencing. He is a seeker of truth and advises we must reduce suffering to achieve happiness.

He shares that most of what we experience in our health comes from what we hold in our minds. The thoughts in our head can manifest in our physical bodies, emotions, and thoughts. We discuss differences in society and changes over the decades. His most memorable lesson from his parents are “don't get caught”. Alan talks about his favorite spiritual place in the world: Sedona, Arizona and his upcoming trip to the area for his birthday. We talk about Jerome, Arizona. We discuss how drugs can lower the wall to accessing spiritual consciousness and how that differs from meditation.

As an Educational Psychologist, Alan works in the trans-personal conversation of physical (ego) and metaphysical (being). He trains speakers to create the sounds and empty spaces between the sounds to transform from an amateur to professional speaker. We discuss the water experiments and how forgiveness is likely the highest vibrating feeling we can have.

Alan teaches meditation and other techniques which enable personal and professional development. He differentiates between automatic speakers and those who shape and carefully convey their thoughts. The “pause” in our speech is a conscious technique to quell the ego and tap into the authentic self. He shares thoughts about “taming the tongue of the ego” and how meditation can benefit anyone.

Simply close your eyes and breathe to start the process of meditation and training your mind not to get agitated. Practicing mindfulness is crucial to happiness and is important to practice. It takes time. Find and repeat a mantra or affirmations at a slower pace with space between the thoughts you speak. This helps us become free from the trap of the ego and awaken into our own being. We need more stillness in our life and less agitation. This can be accomplished through practicing meditation and mindfulness.

Mindfulness means to be present without labeling. In this space we can experience amazing things.

Todd believes gay people really have their shit together and wonders why. Vinnie explains that as a gay man, he had to adapt and evolve in society to "fit in" and prosper. Vinnie grew up as a Baptist which evolved into a Unitarian and then Lutheran faith. He recalls how as a young person he desired to connect with others in a positive way. This was a mode of survival.

Vinnie shares the story of the "Stonewall Riots" in New York and its impact on the gay community in the late 60s. Marsha P Johnson was among the first black trans people who became the face of the gay community. During that time, "free love" was for the straight community more so than the gay community. Vinnie discusses the impact of the AIDS virus on the gay community and how gay marriage impacted the lifestyle of the gay person. We all matter. He shares that gay people "live in their truth" and how he discovered and evolved his.

Every word, every syllable, and syntax in communication matters, Vinnie shares. He discovered his voice early on in life but used to hide his sexual identity. He reflects how when he worked at MTV certain programming was restricted until after 10 pm, for example - Michael Jackson, simply due to his race. As he learned to separate himself from his work, Vinnie discovered a healthy balance between his existence and social impact. His desire to expand conversations with others revolves around the concept of communicating in relatable ways with others who may be from different backgrounds and life experiences.

Todd reflects on his estranged gay brother's professional life and success in business and life. He always admired this about him and wanted to learn from him, but never had the opportunity to do so. Vinnie discusses how sexuality and gender play a role in society. He recounts working on many popular television shows on MTV and the impact of celebrities on society. Vinnie shares that community comes from culture and culture comes from vocabulary and the power of words in the world.

We discuss "Ru Paul's Drag Race" & why neither of us has watched an entire episode. Vinnie shares that the gay community's inclusivity is about connecting with everyone. Hence the LGBTQ+ moniker.

She doesn't spend time playing video games, but instead focuses on creating inspiring and insightful stories in the fiction genre. She's also an advocate for anti-bullying and as a victim of bullying herself, she wrote a book addressing this issue that became her most popular book - to her surprise. She knew that helping people was what she came here to do and remains productive in doing so by writing 1000-2000 words every day and maintaining a balance between work, health and play time.

We discuss various aspects of her writing and her focus to pursue her career in writing. As an author, she targets a young adult audience, but shares that her books are for every age group. Shanti shares how it works to become a self-published author and what others can do to pursue writing as well.

She further explains options like chemotherapy and the pitfalls and opportunities of various modern treatment options.

Juni helps us understand that this is an emotional ordeal for any woman dealing with it and requires finesse to be supportive. She reminds us that women tend to identify with themselves a certain way and when that gets disrupted or changed, it can and does cause deep rooted turmoil, self-image and self-esteem issues. She suggests offering to do helpful things rather than asking if you can help. Make things fun if you can, get out and show appreciation for the woman in your life struggling with breast cancer. Juni reminds that breast cancer is not necessarily a death sentence and desires to help women find the gift of a better life (as Juni did) in the experience of this often misunderstood disease.

Juni offers coaching and nutrition assistance counseling on a 1:1 basis anywhere in the world. She connects with her clients via internet and enjoys helping women learn to deal with cancer and help prevent it's return.

She felt that all the problems were her fault and suffered immense depression.

After seeking relief in many different health and spiritual modalities, Kate discovered kinesiology: the art of movement.

Suddenly she was on the path to re-discovering her healthy, vitality, wellness, and abundance and rebalancing her own energy system. Todd shares a story of his father removing a tumor with metaphysics and his gratefulness to God for his good health. We discuss the importance of being connected with others, despite our differences. Unresolved trauma is the cause of needing to be right. How we learn our identity carries with it unconscious baggage. We must address this and improve our self talk and love.

Kate suggests the following to restore healthy communication: realize we harm ourselves when angry at someone, nothing is simply black or white, we must practice respect towards others, social media enables unhealthy relations, cannot use childhood tools to solve adult problems.

After graduating college, corporate sales and marketing would become his focus for 15 years - which was financially rewarding but draining to his psyche. This led to his desire to do something different – writing stories and sharing life lessons through books he authored over the past 25 years. He reflects upon pursuing one challenge after the next and becoming a better person in the process. He was estranged from his father till his passing and discusses his forgiveness for his father. Branch talks about the lack of love and respect from his father, which led to learning to accept his father's mistakes. Forgiveness was the pinnacle point for him and the key.

He was manic-depressive and learned how to manage it to his benefit through writing and self-reflection. He believes that professional mental health help is imperative to resolving issues that are bigger than ourselves. Life is about overcoming struggles as a better person and becoming mentally balanced.

Balance is the stability between mind, body, soul, and spirit.

Growth is the ability to replace old patterned behaviors with new responses.

Branch tells of the importance of avoiding negativity in people. If it cannot be made positive, avoid it altogether. How to recognize a negative person. We talk about journaling to process emotions and how Branch's writing style helps people identify with the characters in his stories.

We are all spirits, an electrical charge and bundle of energy through God (the Creator). When we are born, we are mind, body, soul, and spirit. Our soul is our inner consciousness. Each of us has a spiritual connection with God upon birth and we innately know right from wrong. We can identify loving and unloving behavior, which influences us throughout our lives. Branch shares how people settle for abusive relationships, rather than loving, healthy ones.

Our spirit must reconnect with Spirit/God to maintain balance. Through the activation of spirit, we connect deeply with God through Christianity or other Faith. Seeing truth, we automatically spot lies and understand the moral and ethical aspects of truth.

We must choose whether or not we interact with the world morally and ethically. Decisions must include the implications for others, not just you. Love God and love your neighbor as yourself are foundational elements in all systems of Faith. Branch discusses theological similarities between all spirituality and religious systems. Stress, struggle, and conflict are ways of the world.

Branch writes about personal responsibility or its avoidance, the link between choice and consequence, and the power of truth. His books are written with valuable takeaways readers can apply right away to make lasting positive changes in their lives. God is the key to everything, but we must make the voluntary decision to honor Him. This is true in every belief system.

He recalls the instant transformation being in Israel had on his early life and musical expression, as well as being the “amplifier of the soul” in his view. While on vacation in New York he was introduced by a friend to a woman who would become his wife of 36 years. David reflects on how he knew she was “the one”. 8 kids and 16 grandchildren later, David shares how the differences in their relationship provide balance and complimentary factors in their relationship. He discusses how struggling couples can re-discover each other to improve their relationship.

Todd strives to share a heartfelt interaction with strangers and share for others to learn from. He seeks to respect people where they are at and understand their viewpoints on matters that we share in common. People seem to want to disengage from truthful conversations, which is eating away at the fabric of society. The US is an amazing place with amazing people, as do other countries in the world. But in this country, we share unwritten social responsibilities that help keep us together as a community in society. There's a lot going on and we need to talk more about things outside of politics and things that divide us. We need to get back to wholesome interactions and genuine communication.

Over the decades, society has changed dramatically and in modern times has posed a challenge to unity among people in the USA. Common values and experiences unite us. Experiencing people in the Census gave Todd a view of people who were all similar, yet different. It took 2 years for Todd to finally release the ToddCast Show due to depression and procrastination.

The show aims to find many common denominators among common strangers and will deliver hope, healing, curiosity, and satisfaction from learning something. To learn how to deal with challenging family members and people, as well as learn to develop better communication methods. By sharing our experiences, we can all learn something special together.
