Relentless Positivity
I am a native of Huntsville. Graduated from Grissom in 1995, went to the Harvard of the South Calhoun Community College, and then got my degree from Auburn. I have been a fitness professional since 2000 and had my own business Huntsville Adventure Boot Camp For Women since 2009. I’ve written best-selling books, I won Huntsville’s Healthiest Trainer, my business won The Best Place For Women In Huntsville To Workout, and busted my chin doing The Worm.
I started my podcast during the pandemic to combat all the negativity I was seeing and experiencing in the world. In the show, I highlight positive news stories, interview people making the world a better place, and drop the occasional dad joke.
In this episode, I talk about how I helped my son through a tough time in his basketball career by helping him remember who he is. And how you can use this too. Plus, how much do you know about Dr. Ronald McNair? I didn't know enough until I read an awesome post by Jon Finkel on Twitter https://twitter.com/jon_finkel Don't miss that one, so powerful!

I know them all personally and can vouch for their integrity and quality. -For website design, graphic design, internet marketing, and more check out McWilliams Marketing at http://www.McWilliamsmarketing.com -Use Patnaik Realty for...

One of my favorite books is Dale Carnegie's "How To Win Friends and Influence People". It is filled with his 30 principles on how to treat people.

I cover why you should AAA instead of CCC, the Good News of the Week out of Syria, some motivation from T Pain, and a Dad Joke involving The Lord of the Rings.

I am intrigued by all the AI stuff that is coming out. So when I got invited to try Google's new version Bard I thought I would try something different and turn it into an episode. I asked Bard what Relentless Positivity is, what is the downside of Relentless Positivity, who is the most positive person in the world. Then I asked it to tell me a story about Positivity, a joke about positivity, and I had to know if AI thought gingers had souls. I think you will find this one pretty interesting. And if you are a comedian...
