Parrish The Thought

My guest today is ⁠Courtney Fuller⁠, a 35-year old wife, mother of three, ⁠realtor⁠, ultrasound technician and body-builder. We do a dive into her past and why she has always been body conscious since the age of 10 and how she has turned her negative relationships with food and body image into her current superpower. It's the ultimate flex to go from stick figure to muscle mom! #IFBB #NationalPhysiqueCouncil #Anorexia #CenterForChange #BodyConscious #Ozempic #HotMoms #BodyBeautiful #BodyBuilding #NoYoYo #HabitsAreYourFuture #OnePercentChange #FearFood #DontFearFood #JustStart #StartNow #Macros #CountingMacros #PersonalChange #EatingDisorders

My guest today is Adam Coleman, writer, sensible thinker and author of the ever popular book, Black Victim to Black Victor: Identifying the ideologies, behavioral patterns and cultural norms that encourage a victimhood complex. This is his second appearance on the show.  This time it is to discuss his recent video post titled, “Why Joe Biden felt comfortable saying, ‘You Ain’t Black.’” This was a comment he made while being interviewed on The Breakfast Club with Charlamagne Tha God close to three years ago.  Adam and I discuss the why behind Biden’s comfort in spewing such a racist statement and the double standard in our political culture.

This episode is a little disturbing and enlightening.  My guest today is 19-year old Camilla Cloward, founder of the non-profit organization that raises awareness to the world’s number one growing criminal enterprise, human trafficking, Giving A Voice.  Her story is one that no child or human should ever have to endure yet out of the horrific darkness of repeated sexual assaults starting at age 14, leading into drug addiction and a suicide attempt came the passion not be a victim and to help other young people never have to travel the road she has. Camilla also drops a huge bomb with the recent discovery and betrayal by someone very close to her and her cause. It's beyond heartbreaking however she will turn this into currency. Just you watch.

Welcome back to the program my lovely listeners and soon to be watchers. In the past I’ve had seasoned and also retired cops on the show sharing their first hand experiences in the line of duty. To balance things out, I wanted a fresh perspective, literally. So I found the youngest guy with the newest set of eyes in the field. My next guest is officer Bryce Fevold of the ⁠Spanish Fork, Utah police department⁠. He has been on the force for just over a year and shares, why, in our political climate a young man would jump into a career in law enforcement. He’s a wise young man, mature beyond his years. So sit back and find out why.

Mark Twain said "⁠A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.⁠”  The story you’re about to hear is one of the reasons this phrase exists.  You may think you know what happened in the tragic ⁠shooting of Breonna Taylor⁠ back in March of 2020 in Louisville KY, but no one knows the real story better than the lead officer on scene, Sergeant John Mattingly.  Sadly, the truth has been buried by the local and national media, elected officials, hollywood stars and professional athletes and the consequences have been devastating. Until now.  We talk about Johns book, "⁠12 Seconds in The Dark⁠, a Police Officers Firsthand account of Breonna Taylor Raid". He explains the minute by minute events of that fatal night and the subsequent fallout. We're giving away 3 signed copies of Johns book.

My guest on the show today for the fourth time is one of my lovely daughters, Emily Parrish. She has recently returned from an 18-month service and proselyting mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-Day Saints. Emily was serving the people in the Bentonville, Arkansas and Springfield, Missouri areas. We talk about the why behind her choice to serve God in this capacity and the remarkable life nuggets she learned while away. One of her most profound takeaways is that God cannot lead us if we are not moving. We cannot steer a parked car.

In 2015 my next guest, author of the book ⁠Living Louder⁠ and speaker, Portia Louder, was sentenced to seven years in fedral prison for money laundering and mortage fraud. (⁠read story⁠) After two years of blaming everyone for her incarceration she finally had the courage to own it all, took full responsibility and became a spiritually free woman while remaining behind bars and serving another three years of that seven year sentence. Sit back and enjoy this roller coaster ride from the pit of despair to a remarkably beautiful and full life of love, honesty and friendship in and out of the system.

Our guest today for episode 132 is Thiefane (pronounced TFN) Magré, COO of ⁠Prouduct⁠, a Global Sourcing company and a Product Creation Accelerator.  We chat about how things have changed in the wake of Covid and crippling regulations in the business industry in China and how their company has pivoted to keep up with their clients demands. We talk about how the stories most of us hear in the media about China are only the tip of the iceberg and there is so much more to this amazing culture. Best of all is he shares with me his perspectives on life and humanity after visiting dozens of countries around the world and an immigrant himself. Wouldn’t you know it, he has an incredible love of America and we find out why. He is also host of ⁠The Product Guy Podcast⁠ which can be heard on all podcast platforms. ⁠Instagram⁠ #China #ChineseCommunistParty #AmericaBeaconOfHope #AmericanOpportunity #ChineseManufacturing #AmericasOpportunities #PursuitOfHappiness #ILoveAmerica #GodBlessTheUSA #LandOfTheFree

My guest today is, again, Heidi Alldredge, host of Heidi's Lemonaid Stand podcast. However we're doing it a little different. This interview was officially recorded via StoryCorps in September of 2022 in Salt Lake City. StoryCorps has a mobile studio which travels the country asking for people to come together and just have good old-fashioned conversations about life. We start by playing Two Truths and a Lie to get us started.   #StoryCorps #OneSmallStep #TwoTruthsAndALie #HeidisLemonaidStand #LibraryOfCongress #PorchTalk #TalkToEachOther #FriendsAndColleagues #FriendsTalkingToFriends #ParrishTheThought

Welcome back my raving fans. Thank you for your continued support of the show. This interview was done about 18 months ago by a moderator at StoryCorps (One Small Step). The One Small Step program was created in an effort to remind the country of the humanity in all of us, even those with whom we disagree. Learn more about their initiative to bridge political divides, one conversation at a time. My guest was Chiereme Fortune a young black Democrat from Bowie Maryland. I am very white, from Utah and at the time may or may not have been a screaming Republican. On the surface, the two of us may have avoided ever getting to know each other but in the end we realized we had much more in common than we didn’t. I apologize up front as part way through the conversation she kept getting cut off so had to do the second half of the interview via cell phone. Our moderator was Lea Zikmund, whom I have had as a guest on my show since then about a recent book she published. Chieremie will be coming back on the sho

My next guest is orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Christopher Karrasch. Former team doctor for the Cincinnati Bengals and currently a practicing physician at Central Valley Medical Center in the small community of Nephi, Utah. Chris joins me today to talk about how a conversation about power tools and construction careers with his grandpa motivated him to want to fix broken bodies. In fact, one of the bodies he fixed was mine after a mountain biking accident. And the $64,000 question. Why would he leave what some would call the pinnacle of his career with the NFL to practice his craft in the sleepy little Utah town. #CincinnatiBengals #NFL #SuperAthletes #StressToProgress #BrokenBodies #CVMC #NephiUtah #FamilyMatters #Bengals #FamilyFirst #UtahLake #PowerTools #CuttingEdgeSurgery #GroundBreaking #MedicalInnovation #Healing #BetweenBones

When you use social media, what do you look for? Happiness, relatability, or something else? Author, Lea Zikmund takes a deep dive into this exploration. In the midst of her dad’s illness and becoming a young caretaker, Lea Zikmund began looking to social media to find community. In the process, she began to notice a dynamic in our culture that tends to criticize those who share publicly about moments of grief, loss and hardship. She also noticed there are still many people who want to use social media as a space to connect on these exact topics. This book takes a close look at the intersection of grief, loss, and the everyday Americans’ social media use. Through interviews with friends and acquaintances, Lea attempts to understand how their moments of sharing helped them, if at all. Are there aspects of social media that can be more helpful to us in difficult moments than what we experience in person together?

My next guest is Samie Hardman. She is the mother of 12 year old Drayke Hardman, who back in February of 2022 took his own life as a result of being bullied in school. Drayke was the epitome of empathy, kindess and love in his 12 short years. She joins me to talk about the signs and events leading up to his tragic suicide and how the family is not only coping but thriving in the 8 months since he passed. We talk about how we as parents, students, friends can watch out for and help bullies recognize the damage they’re doing to try and get them the help they need as well as protecting victims with love and kindness.
