My favorite female entrepreneur is my Mom. Today is my her birthday. She is my hero. If you read the Trust book you probably already know that my whole family is involved with entrepreneurship. Mom opened The Children’s Hour clothes store in Washington NJ in the 1970’s. She was an early female entrepreneur. In this audio recording she relives the experience and shares her own struggle with Trust. There is something special about being able to interview your mom. I hope you enjoy it.

(Day 51) Trust And Olympic Athletes
Max Boilard is an Olympian from Canada. I met him through Dick Brandt at the Global Village at Lehigh University. Max has a unique way of delivering a message about performing at your very best and uses his sport (canoeing) as an analogy . It was an honor to interview him, although very difficult for me to have my picture taken next to him. He makes me look more out of shape than ever! Oh well, trust me, he still has a great message. Enjoy! [...]

(Day 43) Is 2012 The End Of The World ?
According to the Mayan long count calendar, Dec. 21, 2012, at 11:11 PM, will mark the end of a 5,126-year era. The calendar then resets to zero. Amazingly scientists tell us at that same moment the earth will be in perfect alignment with the center of the Milky Way. Apparently, this is the equivalent of a galactic equator or a mid-line running through the center of the Milky Way dividing the galaxy into two hemispheres. I am not sure all this really matters, but many are predicting widespread catastrophe including the end of the world itself.
A frenzy appears to be starting, reminding me of the fear and chaos in the run up to the millennium. On the other hand, I am a little intrigued by the mystery behind the Mayan civilization and their advanced mathematical and scientific abilities. They were well beyond their years, so to speak. In the audio below, I share a few more thoughts about what I think is a bigger threat to our existence, the breakdown of Trust.
Are we headed for galactic annihilation or is a lack of trust the real threat?

(Day 42) A Gentleman’s Perspective on Trust
My friend Kirk Colton, the Director of the Parents Council at Lehigh University, is a gentleman’s gentleman. There are few people that handle themselves with the poise, respect, and honor as Kirk. On this Toddcast, he shares stories on trust, from what he learned from his grandmother to a personal betrayal. I was struck by the candor and clarity of Kirk’s message, I think you will be too.

(Day 27) Trust and the National Anthem
One of my favorite all time leadership stories. I was attending a West Point soccer game and witnessed this simple act of self Trust. I give myself goose bumps when I hear it. Enjoy.
