A Measure Of Truth w/ Michael Fordham Michael Fordham

At the end of a seemingly ordinary day, four-year-old Harper doesn't think she has much to be thankful for. Fortunately, her loving parents are there to point out all the wonderful things that happen each day that she should cherish. Harper Counts her Blessings shows children the importance of taking time each day as a family to reflect upon their blessings and to thank God!

For all of you who have supported A Measure of Truth over the years I just want to say thank you for you support!  Can you believe it's been 11 years!!!   This is a show that has been very popular with my listeners in the past,  featuring the many commentaries that I have used to open or close my shows starting with two of the most recent.  Enjoy!  

What’s your Bailiwick? For J.C. and Jeff Smith, it’s making a classic clothing line that taps into the pride of their adopted hometown. “Being in Washington, D.C., it would’ve been easy to be a t-shirt company for tourists. But we didn’t want to do that. We didn’t want to be that,” said J.C., “We wanted to tap into the pride that the residents have and make a shirt for D.C. that went beyond a team shirt.” And with growing sales and an expanding product line, the brothers seem to have done just that. It also doesn’t hurt that Bryce Harper, one of the area’s highest profile athletes and a fellow D.C. transplant fond of his second home, wears the company’s t-shirts.

 

Career Goals

So what do you do when you have reached an admirable level of success in your chosen profession.  Where you can truly look back at most of your Goals and think that this may be a good time to raise the bar.

How can you make the most of your momentum and ride that wave of success to the next level and not jeopardize your forward progress.

The last thing we would want to do is divide our efforts and find ourselves taking a step back instead of moving onto bigger and better.  

Success is not always about what we think we need to share of ourselves with the world but moreover what is needed in the world that we can pull from our experiences that are still in the realm of our proven accomplishments.   We need not be fearful, just careful, to ensure success.

 

How does Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, one of the Supreme Court’s favorite octogenarians, stay so active and energetic?

Now with The RBG Workout, you can exercise along Justice Ginsburg and Bryant. Whether you want to keep up with one of America’s most admired women or just reach one of your fitness goals, this book is for you. 

Bryant's exercise philosophy is: “It all begins with attitude” It’s always about the client, helping them to help themselves. The process is not complicated. It may not be easy, but it is not complicated.  Case closed.
