Here are the highlights of our
conversation:

growing up in Fremont, Michigan as one of 7
children
how he found role models in Boy Scouts and
Young Life
how he developed a passion for helping
youngsters by helping raise his younger brother Jeff
meeting his wife at Western Michigan
University, in a very unique setting
getting into teaching and not being able to
find a stable position
his career pivot into the insurance business,
and the keys to success that Larry learned
after 25 years, he sold the insurance business
and had another career pivot to Conscious Discipline, based on his
three desires to teach, music, and work with children
new research on the heart, such as from
heartmath.com and the
importance of breathing
when you have chaos, use pictures
the problems with spanking
his role with the "http://www.oxfordfarmersmarket.com/">Oxford Farmer's
Market
giving children choices with your
directives
Larry's daily routine is focused on:
healthy diet; exercise; prayer & meditation
"decisions are power"
On his tombstone, Larry wants it to say "He
was calm", because his calmness manifests itself onto
others
