Taylor Brock

Taylor Brock is making waves by taking on the Virginia public school system to protect her kid. Her 12-year-old son was repeatedly targeted by a bully and ultimately the victim of brutal assault on his school bus. Instead of taking action to protect the kids, their school chose to minimize the incident and obscure the facts to protect their reputation. Taylor is demanding systemic change. You can find her online at her blog, or on social media: Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

Kim "Kid" Curry

Kim Curry is a legend in the U.S. radio business. He dropped out of college to pursue his dream, and shortly afterward rose to fame with his youth-oriented show as Kid Curry. He eventually became Program Director for a top station, serving for 9 years until health issues later diagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis forced him out of the studio and into the hospital. New medication ultimately slowed the disease, and today he works to save America through his books on the abolition of the Fairness Doctrine (which required television and radio stations to spend airtime showing differing points of view on hot-button issues). An expert on radio, media, the Fairness Doctrine, and multiple sclerosis, Kim joined us to discuss his career, his battle with MS, and his new book “Bonnie’s Law.” You can find him online through his website, on LinkedIn, on Facebook, on Twitter, and on Instagram.

Ryan Schwartz

Ryan Schwartz is a native Houstonian, an entrepreneur, and a firm believer in the power of therapy. After losing his mother unexpectedly, he started looking for a therapist. The process was overwhelming, made worse by grief, and he quickly realized that technology had made it easier to find a life partner than a therapist. He knew he needed to modernize the process. The result was Mental Health Match, a free platform that makes it easy to find a therapist. America is in the throes of a mental health crisis which has been made substantially worse by the COVID19 pandemic. This mental health crisis has had devastating consequences for Americans (including increased gun violence, suicide and addiction rates, and domestic violence incidents). Mental Health Match helps combat this crisis by connecting people in need with qualified professionals who can help them. Ryan joined us for a chat about the power of therapy and the logistics of his platform. You can find Ryan on LinkedIn, and Mental Health Match at their website or on social media: Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
