Im Richard Dugan, host of 'Tell Me Your Story”,
NEW PARADIGMS FOR A NEW WORLD...
To bring as many different points of view, from around the circle, into your view, to assist you in expanding your life and living. To assist in the positive evolution of mankind and bringing about a greater awareness of self and others in order to create the kind of world YOU want. A world in which we all can search for, find and fulfill our 'first best destiny'.
GIVING YOU CHOICES AND KNOWLEDGE OF THOSE CHOICES TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE...
You deserve to know 'the truth' about who you are, because that 'truth will set you free'. Knowing your past is fine. Knowing who you are now is greater. And knowing who you want to be and how to bring about that transformation is what 'Tell Me Your Story' is about.
THE ONE THING YOU HAVE TO GAIN...IS...THE NEW WORLD YOU WANT!
Since 2007, we've been producing TMYS, available at richarddugan.com/radioshow.
My dream is to syndicate 'Tell MeYourStory' and take it on the road. Traveling to all parts of the world, talking with people who are living, working and playing in new ways that are changing the world, one person at a time.
I have been interviewing for over 30 years, talking with thousands of; authors, musicians, light workers, metaphysicians, spiritualists, co-creators, body, mind and light workers, new thought people, visionaries, revolutionaries, inovators.
We all have a story and mine is no greater or lesser than yours. Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. I was legally blind from birth. In spite or because of that, I went through 13 years of school not knowing what I wanted to do and so I went to Communtiy College and worked in the AV Department. I found out about a job with 'Sun Sounds' Radio Reading Service, for the blind and visually impaired. I not only became a client, I started working there August 29, 1979 and never “looked” back.
On March 6, 1996, I received a lens implant and went from 20/200 or worse to 20/80 overnight. Within just a few months, I was learning to drive a car. A dream I had given up in acceptance of the way I was, legally blind. And that was 'ok'. Bicycling was just fine for me. Then my marriage of 15 years came to an end and I met Amrita Ma. We married and moved to her home town of Santa Barbara and we both started a new life 5 minutes for her childhood home.
We've been to Ireland twice and dream of living there one day very soon.
I dreamed I would drive, travel to far away places, share the love with someone with a very open, loving heart, live by the sea, have my own radio show, teach others my craft, meet new and exciting souls. I am working on 2 books and more.
What are your dreams?........
I will share more thoughts later. RD

Neil Butterfield is the owner and founder of Mineralife Nutraceuticals LLC in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He was born in Johannesburg, South Africa and from an early age showed an interest in health and fitness. He’s been amateur body builder, a personal trainer and also started a Weight Loss consulting and dietary supplement mail order business where he helped people achieve their fitness goals.
In 2001, Neil spent time in the United Sates and was shocked at the amount of nutritionally deficient, chemically processed food consumed by Americans every day. He became passionate about helping people recover their health after meeting the owner of a natural health clinic in Louisiana. Using the power of liquid ionic minerals, he witnessed the clinic help hundreds of people looking for solutions to often very chronic health conditions. Neil was amazed at the transformations people experienced through the use of natural remedies and minerals that could be absorbed and utilized by the body. He began studies in Nutritional Therapy at Thames Valley University in London England and later extensively studied the importance of minerals to human health under Dr. Lawrence Wilson at Westbrook University. His goal was to reach thousands of people by creating high quality nutritional products that were highly absorbable and therefore better used by the body. In 2005, after discovering a process which allows minerals to better be absorbed into the body, he opened Mineralife Nutraceuticals LLC and began selling liquid ionic mineral supplements.
Neil eventually discovered a multi patented ingredient that greatly enhanced the absorption of nutrients and minerals. He partnered with a company in South Africa to bring the amazing benefits of CHD-FA (Fulvic Acid) to the US, which has benefits that extend way beyond absorption. Today, all Mineralife products are complexed with CHD-FA (Fulvic Acid) because of its unique ability to enhance the usability of its products. As Neil always says, “It’s not what you take, it’s what you absorb that’s important”.
In 2018, Neil continued to grow Mineralife Nutracueticals expanding our consumer product line to include CBD Oil. In addition, Mineralife Nutraceuticals opened our cGMP manufacturing capabilities to include manufacturing, copacking, white label and private label supplement products.
Neil resides in Colorado Springs, CO with his beautiful wife Kristy, their daughter Makenzie and their three dogs. He has been featured as a guest on radio shows across the United States and is widely considered an expert in the health and wellness field by medical professionals across America and abroad.

for MOTOWN FUNK/R&B LEGENDS
'THE COMMODORES'
One of the greatest Motown and R&B / funk artists of all time, The Commodores’ Walter “Clyde” Orange, James Dean “JD” Nicholas and William “WAK” King have influenced both artists young and old and in all genres with their classic songs. The Commodores brand is bigger than ever as they continue to blaze trails all over the world.
Two Alabama cities recently honored the music legacy of the Commodores! Tuskegee declared Friday March 29, 2019 to be Commodores Day, and Montgomery declared the band members to be honorary residents, receiving keys to the city!
A celebration was held at the Commodore Museum, the site of the Commodores’ former rehearsal and recording studio in Tuskegee. The Commodores was originally formed by a group of college students at Tuskegee Institute just over 50 years ago.
“It is really great to see the place where the group was born! It still feels like home 50 years later, to the point where we didn’t want to leave!” – The Commodores
In 1968 the group was formed while all the members were in college at Tuskeegee Institute. After being discovered by Berry Gordy, the Commodores went on to sell over 60 million records for Motown. With hits like “Machine Gun” and “Sail On,” the Commodores became proven artists. For five decades, the Commodores have remained a force in the music industry. The Commodores aren’t just any group. They have staying power. Just like their hit song “Brick House,” the Commodores have created a foundation that just won’t budge.

The most commercially successful female singer of all time
With an estimated world-wide sales figure well in excess of
two hundred million
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
In 1958, Cashbox, Billboard and the Jukebox Operators of America named Connie Francis as the #1 Female Vocalist. She was named Top Female Vocalist by all the trades for six consecutive years – a record never surpassed. As well, England’s prestigious New Musical Express also named her the World’s #1 Female Vocalist. She earned two gold records for Who’s Sorry Now? and Stupid Cupid.
On a global scale, Connie Francis was the top-selling female vocalist of the Sixties and, despite the sensational advent of Madonna, the longevity of Diana Ross and the multi-format generations of the 80's and 90's, she remains the most commercially successful female singer of all time with an estimated world-wide sales figure well in excess of two hundred million.
Today, Connie Francis is widely involved in some very interesting and diverse projects. Of greatest importance and passion is that of helping returning American Veterans of war. Connie Francis is the national spokeswoman for Mental Health America’s S.T.A.R. Campaign (Stress, Trauma, Awareness and Recovery) an important national campaign to raise awareness of what veterans are facing every day of their lives. Another long-awaited autobiography “Among My Souvenirs, The Real Story” was released in 2017.
Some of her biggest hits include …
Who’s Sorry Now … Lipstick on Your Collar … Stupid Cupid …Where the Boys Are …Everybody's Somebody's Fool … Among My Souvenirs …My Heart Has a Mind of Its Own … My Happiness …Second Hand Love …Vacation …Frankie …Together …Baby's First Christmas … Many Tears Ago …Don't Break the Heart That Loves You … Carolina Moon …Breaking in a Brand New Broken Heart … and the list of hits goes on and on …

Purchase Among My Souvenirs: The Real Story (Volume 1)
-December 12, 2017 by Connie Francis at amazon.com
The stories she shares with an extraordinary cast of characters are, indeed, funnier, stranger and often far more shocking than fiction. Few stars have experienced the rollercoaster ride that marked the life of Connie Francis. Fewer still possess the willingness, wit, insight, intellect and disarming self-deprecation to write a book of such unflinching nature. It is truly a joyful, comedic and emotionally disturbing book to read. Far more horrifying than any best-selling writer of fiction would dare to contemplate.
"God Save America" the new single by Connie Francis released March 1, 2019

GLENN CLARKE (aka CLARKE, GLENN)
I was Born in Queens, New York to a heritage that is rich in culture. I am obviously African-American; however, I am also part Jamaican, part Panamanian, part Cherokee Indian… and there’s more. I have lived in three of the five New York Burroughs. I have been bi-coastal, meaning that from early childhood to my late 30’s I commuted from one coast to the other, either due to my parents needs, or as an adult for my own work needs.
I studied Laser Optics, Physics, Mathematics, Languages, and History & Economics; however, my gregarious nature drove me to more social endeavors. I worked for a major airline in reservations, public relations, and cargo shipments, culminating my career in management with the same company.
Next, I decided to put my education to use working for the U.S. Department of Defense on 21st century projects. I would tell you more about this; however, I am bound by the government not to go into detail. A new career path became necessary because of contractions in both governmental and private sectors after the first Gulf War.
The path that ensued was a career in the automotive industry for three major car companies; first Honda/Acura, then Nissan/Infiniti, and finally Mercedes Benz. I was in sales, trained staff in product and customer service, and also managed an Infiniti dealership where I improved customer service, thereby improving sales.
One of my dreams was to become an actor. So around 2002 I took a several acting classes and launched my professional acting career. My first acting gig was as a doctor on Star Trek, Enterprise (The TV series). I have done a number of local and regional commercial works and have had a role on Criminal Minds as a good guy — but I really wanted to play asociopath. My most rewarding and longest acting gig for seven seasons was as an anesthesiologist (background) on the TV serious HOUSE M.D.
Singing has now become my latest passion. It has gone from the shower, to karaoke, to having the honor of being asked to sing at the HOUSE M.D. Red Carpet Final Wrap Party by the star of our show, Hugh Laurie. I accepted and was applauded exuberantly by the audience. It was a fitting way for me to end my seven of the eight illustrious seasons on that show.
I love traveling and meeting new people. I have visited England, France, Austria, Germany, Brazil, the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Jamaica. I expect to do much more traveling in the near future. One can have more than one passion in life; acting, singing, and traveling are three of mine.
Around the turn-of-the-century I went through a divorce. That divorce left me pretty much penniless and with a lot of self-doubt. And though I was in the acting profession, I wasn’t making the kind of money that was able to sustain me, or pay for children’s needs. My story was sort of like a country song record. I lost everything….my relationship with my kids, my wife, my home, my income, as well as my self esteem/confidence. It took me almost ten years to recover.
During that time I had to take mass transit all over Los Angeles, Orange counties, because along with everything else that I had lost, I lost my driver’s license and passport as well. I so disliked taking the bus, that I began writing down stories of the experiences I had encountered and the people whom I met as a way to cultivate a better attitude. At that time I had no idea that those anecdotal writings were going to lead to a book called, “Daddy’s Limo.”
In 2013 I interviewed for a job that would turn my life around. I met a young man who was an MIT graduate, who also was starting at the ground level working. He would become my friend, mentor, and boss. My position was as an appointment setter in the solar industry. That position led me to become one of the top retail managers for the company and now I am a trainer for that same company.
