Julie Ferman takes matchmaking—an old occupation—and brought it into the 21st Century. Increasingly, time-starved people are finding it harder and harder to meet that “special someone.” My guest is Ventura County’s own matchmaker with over 1,400 marriages to her credit. She’s the CEO of Cupid’s Coach. We talk about how to survive Valentine’s Day effortlessly.
Bob Long is a receiver from the Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers. No, not the Super Bowl XLV Packers; the Super Bowl I and II Champions. We talk about what it means to win the Super Bowl. We also talk about Vince Lombardi and what it means to return the Lombardi trophy to Green Bay.
Jimmy Wales takes an old idea—the encyclopedia—that’s been around since the 1700s and brought it into the 21st century. He’s the founder of Wikipedia. We discuss the many ways Wikipedia is superior to the old-fashioned encyclopedia.
Nancy Friedman is known as “The Telephone Doctor.” She’s also the author of hundreds of articles in newspapers and magazines. We discuss her book titled How to Get Your Customers Swearing By You, Not At You.
