Tell Me Your Story
Hosted by Richard Dugan · EN
Im Richard Dugan, host of 'Tell Me Your Story”, NEW PARADIGMS FOR A NEW WORLD... To bring as many different points of view, from around the circle, into your view, to assist you in expanding your life and living. To assist in the positive evolution of mankind and bringing about a greater awareness of self and others in order to create the kind of world YOU want. A world in which we all can search for, find and fulfill our 'first best destiny'. GIVING YOU CHOICES AND KNOWLEDGE OF THOSE CHOICES TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE... You deserve to know 'the truth' about who you are, because that 'truth will set you free'. Knowing your past is fine. Knowing who you are now is greater. And knowing who you want to be and how to bring about that transformation is what 'Tell Me Your Story' is about. THE ONE THING YOU HAVE TO GAIN...IS...THE NEW WORLD YOU WANT! Since 2007, we've been producing TMYS, available at richarddugan.com/radioshow. My dream is to syndicate 'Tell MeYourStory' and take it on the road. Traveling to all parts of the world, talking with people who are living, working and playing in new ways that are changing the world, one person at a time. I have been interviewing for over 30 years, talking with thousands of; authors, musicians, light workers, metaphysicians, spiritualists, co-creators, body, mind and light workers, new thought people, visionaries, revolutionaries, inovators. We all have a story and mine is no greater or lesser than yours. Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. I was legally blind from birth. In spite or because of that, I went through 13 years of school not knowing what I wanted to do and so I went to Communtiy College and worked in the AV Department. I found out about a job with 'Sun Sounds' Radio Reading Service, for the blind and visually impaired. I not only became a client, I started working there August 29, 1979 and never “looked” back. On March 6, 1996, I received a lens implant and went from 20/200 or worse to 20/80 overnight. Within just a few months, I was learning to drive a car. A dream I had given up in acceptance of the way I was, legally blind. And that was 'ok'. Bicycling was just fine for me. Then my marriage of 15 years came to an end and I met Amrita Ma. We married and moved to her home town of Santa Barbara and we both started a new life 5 minutes for her childhood home. We've been to Ireland twice and dream of living there one day very soon. I dreamed I would drive, travel to far away places, share the love with someone with a very open, loving heart, live by the sea, have my own radio show, teach others my craft, meet new and exciting souls. I am working on 2 books and more. What are your dreams?........ I will share more thoughts later. RD

2w ago00:47:54Tap to summarizeWelcome, dear listeners, to a very special edition of Tell Me Your Story. Today, on June 26th, I’m celebrating my 66th birthday—and it’s no ordinary day. I’m stepping into a profound moment of synchronicity: on this 26th day of the 26th year of my life’s journey, I’m turning 66. And so, today, we align with the power of the number 6—those repeating patterns that guide us, shape us, and invite us to harmonize with life’s rhythm. Join me as we explore 10 insights that this number has brought me—and how it can invite us all into deeper alignment. Key Points: 1. The Personal Significance of 66: Reflect on the milestones and life lessons you’ve had by 66—how these numbers have shaped your journey. 2. Numerology and the Power of 6: Dive into the spiritual meaning of 6—balance, harmony, service—and how these resonate in life. 3. Repeating Patterns in Nature: We see them in the Fibonacci sequence, but also in the fractals all around us—from snowflakes to coastlines—showing us that life itself is a pattern, endlessly repeating, endlessly evolving. 4. Your Spiritual Journey in Cycles: Share how your spiritual path has mirrored these cycles—like a spiral, always returning but evolving. 5. The Significance of June 26th: Explore historical or personal events tied to this date—what does it mean in your family, your faith, or your community? 6. Aligning with Divine Timing: Talk about moments when you felt divinely guided—how this 6-year cycle is a reminder of trust. 7. Gratitude for Service: Reflect on how you’ve served others—what’s been your calling, and how does it evolve now? 8. Balancing the Material and Spiritual: Talk about how material milestones—like birthdays—can also be spiritual signposts. 9. Inviting Transformation at 66: What do you hope to transform in yourself now—what new beginnings will you welcome? 10. A Call to Your Audience: Invite them to reflect on their own patterns—how do numbers speak in their life—what synchronicities can they trust? As we close today’s special program, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being with me on this journey. The number 6 has been a guide, a reminder, and a symbol of balance and harmony—and I invite you to take that energy with you. As you know, this program has been a labor of love for nearly 20 years. I’ve invited guests to support, and now I humbly ask you—my cherished listeners and viewers—if you feel called, consider offering a small donation or a recurring contribution. Every bit helps keep this space alive—so we can continue exploring these patterns, these stories, and these synchronicities together. I’m deeply grateful, and I can’t wait to see where these next 66 steps lead us.
Transcribe →Alex Snider - Sometimes You Should be Late
2w ago01:04:57Tap to summarizehttps://alexsnider.onlinepresskit247.com/ Alex Snider, a writer, facilitator, meditation teacher and former government strategist whose upcoming book, “Sometimes You Should Be Late” (July 2026), explores what happens when urgency becomes the unconscious organizing force of modern life. After spending more than 15 years in public service in roles connected to the State Department, Senate, World Bank, and White House initiatives, Alex began questioning the assumptions modern culture carries about speed, productivity, punctuality, urgency, and worth. Meditation practice, teaching, and recovery from a serious bike accident deepened those questions even further. His work explores what happens when speed becomes more than a scheduling issue and starts shaping how people relate, listen, lead, apologize, rush, react, and move through everyday life. What makes Alex’s perspective particularly compelling is that he is not arguing against ambition, effectiveness, or responsibility. Instead, he explores a more human question: How do people remain emotionally present, relationally connected, and fully human inside systems increasingly organized around speed, optimization, and urgency? Alex explores themes including urgency culture, emotional punctuality, authentic lateness, attention, relationships, leadership, kindness, and what he calls “time alchemy” — transforming moments usually dominated by stress and reactivity into moments of awareness, humanity, and choice. About the Author: Alex Snider is a writer, facilitator and former government strategist who bridges the worlds of mission-driven leadership and mindfulness. After spending more than 15 years inside high-pressure federal environments, along with a life-altering bike accident that reshaped his perspective on urgency and attention, he began questioning whether constant speed, pressure, and responsiveness were actually helping people live, lead, and relate more meaningfully. A meditation teacher and co-founder of Mindful Fed, Alex explores what modern busyness gives us (and what it quietly takes away) in his book “Sometimes You Should Be Late” (Practical Inspiration Publishing, July 7, 2026). He holds degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. Learn more at SlowMindfulness.com.
