    What’s Your Excuse? EP 077 Anthony Saldana & Jason FIgueira Promoting Hopscotch With My Brain
    Feb 23 2023
    Hello again, I hope you and your family are all doing well. Personally, I have been struggling with some chronic pain in my right knee. Things are improving thanks to some physical therapy, but I'm still a work in progress. Today, I'm bringing you another great interview on What's Your Excuse. This time a return visit with my friends Anthony Saldana and Jason Figueira. And they will be talking more about Jason's experience with obsessive compulsive disorder and their work to raise money for a film about the disease as seen through Jason's eyes and the eyes of his friends. You will see a great trailer that they created for the film and for their Indie Logo campaign. You Can find out more about them by visiting their Facebook Page. Sadly, I let them down in their efforts to raise funds for their next film through crowd funding. However, you can still help them make this socially important movie by mental illness by contributing funds, donating equipment, or offering your services. Just Send Anthony an email. Notes About The Show First, I don't edit my podcast. I prefer to share a real unscripted unedited conversation. Just think of the recorded live television of the 50s and 60s. Two, I sing on the intro to my podcast. I did it in the beginning because I didn't have a way to create an intro. People liked it, so I continue to sing. I will complete the post about this episode shortly, but I wanted to get it out there where y'all could hear it and be inspired by my friends Anthony and Jason. Thanks for listening. If you received value from our conversation, then please share this with your friends, family, and social media communities. Thanks and take care out there, Max

    What’s Your Excuse? EP 076 Award-winning Vision Loss Coach, Crime Fiction Author, Disability Advocate, Law School Graduate, and Podcast Host
    Nov 3 2022
    Hello again, I hope you and your family enjoyed the weekend together. And I hope that my latest What’s Your Excuse? with my new friend Donna Jodhan will educate, entertain, and motivate you to overcome your own excuses. Donna is an award-winning vision loss coach, crime fiction author, disability advocate, and host of two podcasts. In Ask Donna she uses her lived experience to answer people’s questions about life in general and about living with vision loss in particular. You can even send her your questions for future episodes. She also hosts dining With Donna a cooking show. She started cooking during the pandemic with virtual help from her mother, and loved it so much that she just had to share what she has learned with the world. Be sure to listen all the way to the end of her podcasts for the mental stretch during Ask Donna or the cooking problem solving hacks at on Dining with Donna. She is the only person I have ever talked with who has experienced living as a blind person, then living with sight, only to return back to life without sight. I am also fascinated by anyone who writes fiction, and I am especially amazed by those who can create whole worlds full of brand new people without the aid of vision. I love the part about how she can do things like write fiction because she focuses on the joy rather than on any potential financial success. Finally, a couple of subjects that came up often are learning to accept things as they are, stretching all five senses, and finding work arounds to deal with the world. I just know you are going to find something to love in our conversation. Disclaimers There are a couple things you need to know about the show. One, I don’t edit the recording unless a technical issue results in dead air. I think of my show as recorded live in the same style used by television in the early days. Two, I sing on the intro. I started doing it out of necessity many years ago, and people loved it. So, I keep doing it. The music I’m singing is my own original song titled what else What’s Your Excuse? Now On To The Show Support Our Sponsors Blubrry has been providing both financial and technical support for my show, for Shredding For Gold, and for the WYE Podcast Network. I couldn’t keep doing what I’m doing without them. And it would be impossible to help other disable people with their podcast without their support. Show Notes A few friends have told me that it might be helpful to you to share a run down of the topics covered and their approximate time on the recording. This is the first time I have ever done this, and I could really appreciate your feedback. She explained about having seen vision loss from both sides having lived with no vision, then having her sight restored, and finally losing her vision again. 04:40 She talks about the emotional readjustment to losing that regained sight as an adult 08:13 She shares about how her family reacted to her changing vision. Including their patience when she wanted to see everyone and everything. 09:49 We discuss whether or not Canadian parents of visually impaired or of disabled children are more accepting and trusting than those from other countries. 11:41 I asked her about her about the various states of her vision effected her education. 13:18 She talked about pursuing her degree in Law and how the lack of accessibility in online learning was a problem that continues to persist. 14:20 We discussed how the features in overly robust software applications get in the way of people using screen readers ability to use the critical part of software. 16:35 We explained some of the challenges that screen reader users face such as needing keyboard command options because we don’t have access to the mouse. We also talked about how often software & website updates break accessibility. And we talked about how much we love Zoom 17:53

  • What’s Your Excuse? EP 075 Tyler Watson from failed sandwich artist to successful international brand manager

    What’s Your Excuse? EP 075 Tyler Watson from failed sandwich artist to successful international brand manager
    Oct 3 2022
    Hello again, I hope you and your family are doing as well as possible given all the challenges in the world these days. In this latest episode of What's Your Excuse? I sat down with Tyler Watson Vice President of Sales for Dan-O's Seasonings. I met Tyler as part of being an affiliate and advocate for Dan-O's. Mainly because their seasonings are no-salt, low sodium, and packed with flavor. Discovering their products allowed me to give my younger brother Patrick, an arrhythmia surviver, the gift of good tasting food. We became friends after he wrote an amazingly honest post about the struggles he has gone through in his life before getting to where he is now in both is professional career and personal life. You know I love story tellers and great stories, and Tyler provided both. Plus he is one of those rare people in business who doesn't believe he has to hide who he really is or where he came from in order to be successful. As you know this is something I believe in completely. Telling my story authentically is how I built my brands. And I tell others constantly that sharing your real self is great for business. So, we bonded over authentic personal story telling, and I just had to have him on my podcast. Well, I don't want to give it all away. Disclaimers First, I do not edit my podcast. This is partly because I am horrible at it, but mostly because I love the feel of sharing a recorded live interview. Second, I sing on the intro of my podcast. It started out of necessity, but people like it and miss it when I don't sing. So, you will be treated to me singing part of What's Your Excuse on the intro. On With The Show Support My Sponsors blubrry.com provides both financial and technical support to my show, to Shredding For Gold, and for the wyexcuse Podcast Network. I couldn't do it without them. I also want to thank Chip and Pam Edwards at Create My Voice for keeping my show on Alexa, Google, and Seri so you can listen by simply saying play What's Your Excuse. Reach out for help with your audio branding strategy. And to the folks at Crystal Creek Organics for keeping me supplied with CBD oil while I have been struggling with knee pain. Some days have still been too difficult, but thanks to them there were more good hours or days than bad ones. Key Points He shared about being a young person with a baby and no real job. We spoke about his being a dish washer, failing at sandwich making, and going into selling shoes on the advice of his wife. We talked about how understanding the needs of the customers who came into the store lead to him being a rockstar salesman that lead to his becoming the manager for stores in three states. We followed his path to Dan'O's both earlier in his career and since he returned to the company to be part of their continued growth. We talked about his battles to gain custody of his young child and how that lead him to take jobs in different parts of the country just to be close to his child while working his way through the courts. I shared with him my equally nervous state concerning how until my nephew was of age we constantly worried that some day there would be knock at the door and we would lose him. You can hear the joy in his voice concerning his family now including repaying his wife for supporting him and being able to spend more time with their latest child. We talked about clothing. Him accepting that he could be successful without hiding tattoos or putting on a suit. Me talking about how wearing a suit has become part of me thanks to help from friends. Throughout the conversation we kept coming back to the idea that being honest about who we are doesn't hurt your business or your career it only strengthens it. I can't tell you how many potential podcast interview booking clients have told me Max I can't be as honest as you or people won't want to hire me.
