Tony Wall – Founder and President of Noēsis
<p>Tony Wall – Founder and President of Noesis</p> <p>Tony Wall is the founder of Noēsis (no - EE - sis), a worldwide education network, and 501(c)3, aimed at enabling humanity to replace the churn of conflict with the gift of clarity. After spending decades observing and researching human behavior and the history of humanity, Tony is an expert on the instinctual influences on modern-day behavior and how those behaviors cause many of the problems faced by our species today.</p> <p>Tony brings a compelling, hopeful, and passionate message to any discussion. If an audience expects to hear about doomsday scenarios, he will be glad to surprise them. Humanity lost control by way of a process. Only by another process will we regain control. Tony is about the Process.</p> <p>Tony graduated from the William Penn Charter School in Philadelphia. He then continued his education at Lake Forest College in Chicago. A Liberal Arts education ignited Tony’s interest in Existential Philosophy and demanded that Tony view the world through a starkly realistic lens.</p> <p>Tony actually began his career in finance and was compelled, at the age of 56, to found Noēsis - the only non-profit of its kind. He is on a mission to make a difference for humanity. &nbsp;</p> <p>https://noesisproject.com/ &nbsp;</p> <p>https://fans.truefanz.com/RichLaMonica &nbsp;</p> <p>https://www.themisfitnation.com</p> <p>https://youtu.be/D53JbAQ0__M</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/support</a>

Together we started the podcast Wild Women Who Write Take Flight. Our interviews primarily include women authors, but we have male guests who are supportive of women as well.</p> <p>I'm on the board of Sisters in Crime Atlanta and a Vice President of the Atlanta Writers Club. I live in Lilburn, Georgia with my husband, 2 rescue dogs, and 2 rescue cats.</p> <p><a href="https://kathy-nichols.com/">https://kathy-nichols.com/</a></p> <p><a href="https://influencers.truefanz.com/richlamonica">https://influencers.truefanz.com/richlamonica</a></p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/1t2PfXJjSCM">https://youtu.be/1t2PfXJjSCM</a></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/support</a>

SGT Nathaniel Helmuth Combat Engineer, Husband,...
<p>Kristle Helmuth is a veteran of the United States Army, mother of 3, and surviving spouse of SGT Nathaniel Helmuth. Going from dual military, to military spouse, to the caregiver of a wounded warrior, to a widow, Kristle has run the gauntlet of military experience making her life the perfect platform to advocate for and support others who might be facing the same challenges. Kristle often jokes that her life could literally be a movie, “If something was going to happen, it happened to us.” &nbsp;</p> <p>The last four years have been a journey of its own, as Kristle navigated finding her new normal, raising kids, going to school, and developing her career, all without her best friend, the person she built a life with. Without her amazing support system and her husband’s words, “Charlie Mike,” in her head, things could have been much worse. &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;Since losing her husband, Kristle has since completed a Bachelors in Communications, completed her MBA, and is now working with United Way of Northeast Florida’s Mission United Program, a community-based program that connects military, Veterans, and their families with the services that they need – from securing a roof over their heads, finding a post-military career, to getting their benefits and health care. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Kristle’s number one goal is to live her life and raise her children in a way that makes him proud, and that carries on his legacy of service, and sacrifice. &nbsp;</p> <p>https://www.themisfitnation.com&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;https://fans.truefanz.com/RichLaMonica</p> <p>https://youtu.be/e3yVjDjamHU</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/richard-lamonica/support</a>
