JOIN ME AS I INTERVIEW TWO POWERFUL AND HEART-CENTRED WOMEN and hear their story of rising from tragedy to triumph: 

My Guests are: Sisters Amy and Nancy Harrington, who founded The Passionistas Project out of a deep desire to empower

Both co-founders walked away from high profile jobs in Hollywood to work together. Amy was previously the Vice President of Post Production and visual effects for all feature films at Warner Bros., working on movies like the "Harry Potter", "Matrix" and "Batman" franchises. 

Nancy left the ad agency where she created Academy Award campaigns for Miramax. Now  Amy and Nancy shine a light on the positive stories of self-identified women and non-binary people through their media company.

They have conducted over 1600 interviews including red carpet events and more than 65 one-on-one histories for The Interviews for the Television Academy Foundation with pop culture icons like Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Rita Moreno, Lily Tomlin, Laverne Cox, Carol Burnett, and many others. They also have produced interviews for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame including a sit-down with Mick Jagger. Amy and Nancy founded the Passionistas Project in 2018 and through their podcast, online sisterhood and Power of Passionistas Summit, they strive to inspire women to follow their passions and join forces in the fight for equality for all. 

 

Kurt Schlichter is a writer and commentator who has been a freelance writer since 1984. He currently serves as a senior columnist for Townhall.com. He has also frequently written for various publications on political, cultural, and military issues.

Besides his writing career, Schlichter has been a trial lawyer and partner at Schlichter & Shonack, LLP since December 1994.

Furthermore, Schlichter has served the Army National Guard for over 27 years as an Army colonel. He was an Infantry/Cavalry officer for the United States Army and California Army National Guard. As an Army officer, Schlichter commanded a cavalry recon squadron and served in the Gulf War and Kosovo. He retired from the Army in early 2015.

Additionally, he is an author. He has written several dystopian conservative action novels and non-fiction books, including ‘I Am a Liberal’ (2012), ‘Conservative Insurgency’ (2014), ‘People’s Republic’ (2016), ‘Indian Country’ (2017), ‘Wildfire’ (2018), ‘Militant Normals’ (2018), and ‘Collapse’ (2019), ‘Crisis’ (2020), and ‘The 21 Biggest Lies About Donald Trump (And You)’ (2020).

Age & Early Bio
Kurt Schlichter was born on 24 December 1964 in Cincinnati, Ohio. His age is 57 years as of 2021. Schlichter moved to San Mateo, California, with his family at age six. Schlichter became inclined to conservative political ideology at a very young age.

He says conservative values make more sense to him. Schlichter grew up as a proponent of free speech, a militant right-winger, and a military supporter.

In 1987, he graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in communications and political science from the University of California San Diego. During his college years, Schlichter served as an editor for California Review, the conservative student paper, and a regular columnist in The Koala, the satirical comedy college paper.

Schlichter also has a Juris Doctor degree, which he earned from Loyola Law School in 1994. Later, he received a master’s degree in strategic studies from The United States Army War College in 2011.

‘People’s Republic’
‘People’s Republic’ is Schlichter’s debut novel published on 16 September 2016. According to goodreads.com, it is a funny, frightening, and action-packed thriller novel that takes the contemporary world’s news and forecasts about the future of America. The fictional novel discusses the consequences of America’s growing political and cultural divisions that split the United States apart.

Several authors, television, and media personalities have provided outstanding reviews on Schlicher’s ‘People’s Republic.’ Jim Geraghty of National Review calls it “a surreal, fast-paced journey through a dramatically different America but less than a generation away. … Violent, imaginative, full of mordant humor and dark, gritty details, you won’t want to live in this People’s Republic…but you’ll feel a chill as you wonder how different our real future will be.”

Similarly, columnist David Limbaugh describes his novel as “a thought-provoking action thriller set against the backdrop of a shattered America.”

Furthermore, Fox News contributor and author Katie Pavlich says, “They say conservatives are terrible story tellers, but Kurt Schlichter destroys that stereotype in his new novel People’s Republic and issues a dire warning about the future of America.”

RON HANKS

Serving Our Country

• Combat veteran - Ron served in the military throughout the world and across the United States.  He purchased land in Colorado in 2007 with the intent to retire and explore the Mountain West from the center of it all.  Out-of-control government forced him back into public service.

• Ron retired from the U.S. Air Force at the end of 2017 after more than 32 years of active and reserve service, serving as an enlisted man and as a commissioned officer.  He worked as a linguist in Desert Storm and during multiple operations, including Northern Watch, Southern Watch, and Earnest Will.  During the Global War on Terror, Ron served as an intelligence officer, performing duties in Iraq, Kuwait, and United Arab Emirates.

• Ron served in several other capacities during his career, to include as a treaty escort for foreign inspectors from Russia and other countries, as a counterdrug officer in Kazakhstan working to stop the flow of drugs out of Afghanistan that funded the Taliban and Al Qaeda, and as a badged, credentialed counterintelligence agent.

  When not deployed or in uniform, Ron worked in the oilfields of North Dakota, witnessing first-hand the benefits of American energy independence, the merits of hydraulic fracturing, and the spirit and know-how of blue-collar America.

Passion for Public Service

• His passion for public service began in the mid-1970’s as he listened to Ronald Reagan articulate the differences between conservative and leftist policies.  Just like Reagan, Ron Hanks understands that at all levels, government is too big and spends too much, and that protecting personal liberty should be the main goal of any elected official.

• Now a Colorado State Representative, Ron continues his life-long dedication to serving others, based on Reagan’s conservative principles, and motivated by the Democrat Party’s dangerous attempt to move our state and country towards the disastrous and failed models of socialism. Good people must stand up to stop the out-of-control liberalism that we are getting from Denver and Washington, D.C..

• Recognized as one of our best conservative representatives in the Colorado House, Ron Hanks knows that he works for you. Your liberties must reign supreme - NOT the government’s powers.

Serving Our Community

• Ron devoutly believes in our Bill of Rights and is an ardent, no-compromise defender of the 2nd Amendment.

• Without The People’s full trust and confidence in the validity of our elections, all public policy decisions are irrelevant because they do not have ‘the consent of the governed.’  Secure, open, and fair elections must be the backbone of our elections if our country is to survive.

• A strong social and fiscal conservative with a respectful live-and-let-live attitude toward others, Ron Hanks will keep fighting to protect Colorado taxpayers, grow our small businesses, and support and defend every law-abiding citizens’ God-given right to life, liberty, and property.

Allen Hynek and wants to help experiencers of all kinds demonstrate the reality of their encounters. 

Bill started his career early working his way through Texas Tech as a photographer and writer for
the local newspaper and working in the campus radio and television stations while getting a BA and MA in
broadcasting and journalism. As a graduate student he also taught photojournalism, public speaking, and
broadcasting history.

After graduating he went to the University of Texas at Austin as director of both a four-city
instructional television network and the university’s four channel instructional television system. While
there he also taught graduate level TV courses and worked on a doctorate in mass communications.
From Austin, Bill moved to Ohio where he accepted a position at Bowling Green State
University’s new television station to become their Director of Instructional Television and Special
Projects.

Bill then moved to Washington, DC where he started his own communications consulting firm.
His clients included trade associations, corporations, and many government agencies including the Army
and Navy, the Postal Service, the Departments of Transportation and Housing and Urban Development,
the White House, and the Secret Service. He was also asked to take a one-year contract as FEMA’s first
Director of News and Information when that agency was first created. Some of the many events he was
involved with included Three-Mile Island, Mt. St. Helens, and the Cuban Refugee Boatlift. While in
Washington he was elected national president of the Independent Media Producers’ Association and, as
a registered lobbyist, helped get several laws passed to help independent producers.

In addition to his professional work, while in Washington Bill was asked to take a part-time
position at the University of Maryland teaching Advanced Television News Production.
After 20 years in Washington, Bill decided to change careers and move back to Ohio as a
Registered Investment Advisor to give his two young daughters the chance to grow up around friends and
relatives … a chance that he never had growing up in a military family and moving often enough for him
to have attended 14 different schools before graduating.

Now he’s publishing a series of books entitled 20 Years of Internet Humor … and Some Other
Interesting Things based upon decades of sending out a “Thought for the Day” through the internet.
