The Essential Coaching Skills PodcastEpisode 138 - What I learned from Dave - with Halimah Holiday and John MorganWHAT I LEARNED FROM DAVE - a series within the podcast that features different folks who studied with Dr. Dave Dobson, PhD and one or more of his "Funshops"
In this episode I'm joined by Halimah Holiday and John Morgan. John and Halimah worked together for years via John's company, "John Morgan Seminars," where I also worked for about seven years doing Hypnosis seminars for Smoking Cessation and Weight Loss.
Halimah Holliday certified in Ericksonian hypnotherapy with Doug O'Brien in 1997 (I think?) and attended one of Dave Dobson's last Funshops in 2006. She is a massage...

The Mind
For anyone who has hit rock bottom, feels "stuck", tired of their current situation, who knows there is more to their life than "this", for anyone who dares to dream.

Hosts: Barry, Isaiah, Sam
Topic: Real Steel (2011) directed by Shawn Levy, written by John Gatins , Hugh Jackman, Dakota Goyo, Evangeline Lilly, Anthony Mackie, Kevin Durand and many more.
Real Steel is a wholesome (minus some swearing), by the numbers, family film where a washed up, sleazy character is transformed into a father and a decent human being. Also robots punch each other until they explode. Someone think of the robots! Robots are people too..wait a minute.

Topic: Overlord(2018) directed by Julius Avery, written by Billy Ray and Mark L. Smith, starring Jovan Adepo, Wyatt Russell, Mathilde Ollivier, Pilou AsbĂŚk, John Magaro, Iain De Caestecker, and many more.
Overlord is an amalgamation of many film genres. It's a little bit horror, a little bit zombie film, a little bit action, a little bit war movie, with a dose of humor. It doesn't manage to deliver on every aspect and becomes a little diluted in its attempt to be everything. Overall it's a very e...

You leave the theater not quite sure what you saw but it's right on the tip of your tongue. Also feet. Lots of feet.
