Blog Talk Radio

Since 2009 I’ve been broadcasting a live weekly talk show every Wednesday on Blogtalkradio.com at Noon Pacific time (3PM Eastern). On my show I interview interesting and passionate people about their involvement in: Social Media, Non Profits, Causes, Start-ups, Entertainment, Education, Business, Technology and more. It’s a labor of love, no agenda (other than enjoying conversations and providing valuable content!), no expected benefit, free of the burdens of performance anxiety. I’ve been fortunate to have had some wonderful guests that have shared great conversation,  inspired and educated me on a variety of topics. Never want to miss an episode? Sign up for the RSS feed.

Future Guests

I am always on the lookout for interesting and inspiring guests, please feel free to contact me if you or someone you know might be a good guest. Going to be a guest or want to listen? You might also want to check out this blog post about getting the most out of a Blogtalkradio podcast.

I often watch programs or observe people that I think would be interesting to talk to. If you’re on the list below it means I have an open invitation for you to join me at any time. It means you are interesting or fascinating to me. In no particular order who they are, what they do and why I want to interview/chat with them:

  • Valerie Fitzgerald, Real Estate Powerhouse featured on “Selling LA”. She is amazingly nice, smart, interesting and a pleasure to interact with via Social Media.
  • Matt Nix, Screen/television writer – Burn Notice. He is from the bay area, very close in age to me and creates great characters in his work.
  • Gus Kramer, Tax Collector Contra Costa County. He “keeps it real” and does not sugar coat things. Has some great ideas about economic issues.
  • Ronn Owens, Radio Show Host. I’ve listened to Ronn for 10+ years on KGO. Ronn is a very interesting guy, knowledgeable and reasonable. Ronn has a thought process that contributes to progress.
  • Warren Buffet, investor. I find Warren Buffet to be a extremely fascinating person. I’d like to talk to him about Philanthropy and Business (along with his pal Bill Gates).
  • Bill Gates, philanthropist former head of Microsoft. I would like to discuss Philanthropy and Bill’s past as head of Microsoft.
  • Dr. Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist. I wish I had Dr. Kaku as a professor when I was in school. This is a guy who I think can get people fired up and excited about mind bending physics and science. Seems to be a genuinely nice guy too.
  • Any Mythbuster, TV science/entertainment. They get to blow stuff up and test internet/other myths. As a skeptic and fan of tinkering and explosions it would be fun to live vicariously for a few moments through the experience of any of the show hosts.
  • Ricky Johnson, pro motor sports racer. During my teen age years I remember watching Ricky Johnson dominate Super Cross. I actually got to watch him and another team Honda rider practicing and jumping cliff jumps at the end of Palm Ave. As an adult it would be fun to learn more about the life of a Pro motor sports racer and who better than Rick Johnson?
  • Gary Sinise, actor and hero advocate. I’d like to thank Gary personally for the work he does for people who work to keep us safe. I think Gary is the epitome of a actor doing good for others. He has some very unique experiences and is a brilliant actor as well.
  • Paul DiDonato, Mentor, Rotarian, all around great guy. Paul is so dynamic he’d fit into any conversation.
  • Mike Holmes. Holmes Ispection and Holmes on Holmes on HGTV. The man has a passion for quality work and solving problems. Also appears to be a genuinely nice guy.
  • Steve Wozniak. Legendary co-founder of Apple. Personality and intelligence are a very powerful combination.
