Are Things Really That Bad, NO with Chris Feola
Season 4 - Your Path to a Good Life Join me as I get to know Chris Feola better after a decade without human contact. We talk about his life in and out of the Army, how journalism is dead, and some other problems that Chris has been working on. Stay to the end to hear about why Chris and I remain optimistic about the state of the world and what we can do to make it better. Christopher J. Feola’s unfinished autobiography is entitled Things I Did While Planning to Do Completely Different Things. He has accidentally or serendipitously been Banned from the Pacific Rim, taught at the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism before receiving his B.S., and been granted five patents in data architecture, none of which made good use – any use, really – of his major in Theatre or his minor in Modern Dance. He is the founding partner of The PrivacyChain, a distributed data command-and-control system that gives creators and owners permanent control over their content. This is a public episode.

Andy Ivey, CIO and School Board Disruptor on Growing the Next Version of You w/ Mike Rochelle
Greetings Friends, Today on Youtube and Spotify and on June 22nd, at 4pm, on LinkedIn, Facebook, I’m happy to present, Andy Ivey – CIO and School Board Reformer, on Growing the Next Version of You w/ Mike Rochelle! I'm interviewing my good friend and longtime customer, Andy Ivey! Andy has risen through the ranks in the IT industry through hard work, determination, and focus which is rare. A servant leader in all walks of life, he has been a rowing coach, BBQ blogger and recently entered reluctantly into politics. After recently moving to Hamilton, Texas to create a hobby ranch and optimize the growth environment for his family, he applied all his strengths to create a goat and cattle ranch, along with chickens, using Social Media to break all the rules and gain a seat in his first run! Finding out that the local school board had allowed an ill-conceived 800-acre solar farm with massive tax breaks, he began speaking out. Neighbors demanded that he run for school board. The odds were not in his favor, but he won the election, and you’ll hear the rest of the story along with his backstory today. Enjoy getting to pear into the mind of a great human being, and natural leader! PS.
