My guest Daniel Scranton is a verbal channel, spiritual teacher, and sound healer. He has been channeling the 12th-dimensional, non-physical collective known as The Creators since the Fall of 2010. Since then, a wide array of other guides and collectives have spoken through him. Some of those include: Archangel Michael, Archangel Gabriel, The Pleiadian High Council of Seven, and The Arcturian Council. He also discovered an ability to channel light languages, and healing overtones, and he has used this ability to help others heal themselves and manifest the reality they desire.

From debilitating chronic fatigue to the US Open in 6 months’ time, Veronica Karaman knows something about developing a championship mentality for overcoming adversity to make the impossible possible. The founder of TrueChampionAcademy.com, she is a speaker, golf professional, and high performance coach for aspiring athletes and other achievers. She is also an 8-time best-selling author of The Champion’s Way: Core Foundations for Achieving Peak Performance in Sports and Life, and her newest book, God, Make Me a Champion! An Athlete’s Journey of Faith into the Power of Surrender. Her passion and mission in life is to release the inner champion in others.
It was through her own journey out of “outward success but inward brokenness” as an overachieving, performance-driven athlete that Veronica discovered a better way to do life and performance---from a place of love and acceptance.
Her 12 Module on-line training system, The Champion’s Way, is based on the four zones of performance: the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Equipping athletes with a framework of thought as to how peak performance happens instills in them a holistic approach to achievement.
Veronica also helps her students develop the identity of a champion so they perform from the center of who they are and not from the illusive meaning of an outward goal.
Her greatest passion and joy is in helping faith-based athletes make the connection between their faith and competition.
A graduate of Duke University and Regent University, Veronica holds two master’s degrees. She currently lives in Pinehurst, North Carolina, where she still enjoys playing championship golf as a senior competitor. Her golf career highlight was playing in the 1989 Women’s US Open.
Landry has focused on novel approaches to intractable health problems, combining medicine and organic chemistry. His work on cocaine addiction led to the discovery of an artificial enzyme to degrade cocaine. His report on the enzyme, published in Science, was chosen by the American Chemical Society as one of the 25 most important chemistry papers in the world for 1993. An agent (Cocaine esterase) he co-developed to treat cocaine overdose has entered clinical trials from Tonix Pharmaceuticals.[17][18][19] He founded the Columbia Organic Chemistry Collaborative Center and it is through this Center that he conducts his current work on drug discovery.
Landry discovered a new hormone deficiency syndrome: vasopressin deficiency in vasodilatory shock. In pioneering the use of vasopressin to treat septic shock and vasodilatory shock after cardiopulmonary bypass, he changed clinical practice for these life-threatening conditions. He also founded ICU nephrology at Columbia, introducing continuous renal replacement therapy to treat renal failure in patients with shock.
Landry developed an alternative method for the production of human embryonic stem cells that relies on harvesting live, normal cells from embryos that—by objective, peer-reviewed criteria—have died of natural causes. Cells harvested from dead embryos would be covered under the established ethics governing transplantation of essential organs from deceased donors.
Luis Oliart, Southern California guitarist, singer/songwriter, has been described as, “simply magical … totally captivating … compelling.” His sound blends funk, rock, soul and blues to produce music with a fresh groove and full of soul.
Oliart has entertained audiences at venues throughout the world, including, BB KIng’s, CBGB, Hard Rock Cafe, House of Blues, Key Club, Knitting Factory, The Bitter End, Troubadour and, yes, Carnegie Hall. Plus a long list of performances in Vancouver, Toronto, Thailand, Spain, France, Germany, Denmark, Greece and Switzerland.
Although he’s a talented multi-instrumentalist, often identified with his electric, acoustic and Dobro guitar wizardry, Luis has gotten rave reviews for his vocal chops and songwriting skills. As Music Connection Magazine’s Bernard Baur raved,
“Oliart weaves extraordinary rhythms and guitar percussion that are simply magical.”
Along the way, Luis managed to make the Top 50 on NBC’s Star Tomorrow, which also earned him the high praise from Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top.
Luis Oliart & The Hinges have just released their new single, “Hold On To Our Love,” which is a further of Oliart’s refinement of his unique “soul-funk-blues” songwriting and performances. The obvious appeal of Luis’ approach is seen weekly in Southern California venues where Luis Oliart & The Hinges have crowds up on their feet with sets that rely heavily on Oliart originals.
Luis Oliart said, “I wrote Hold On To Our Love so our band, The Hinges, would have a lively, happy song for our live shows. I am a fan of traditional African music and artists, so we’re striving to create a feeling that leans into that African sound of jubilation mixed it’s musical descendent, the American blues. It turned into a celebration in the studio when we were able to jam on this song with the same energy as in our live shows.”
Luis’ current band, Luis Oliart & The Hinge includes: Fishbone founders, Norwood Fisher & John Steward, Pharcyde keyboard legend, Chuck Boogie and guitarist Jay O’Keefe.

Famous actor, John Fiore, is best known for his role in HBO’s The Sopranos as Gigi Cestone. Fiore’s love for acting first began while he was still in high school and trying to figure out what he wanted to do with his life. Fiore was offered to be part of a play and deep inside he felt like he could really pull that together and actually act well. While playing in this show, Fiore felt a desire to pursue a career in acting. It was his talent that got Fiore strong roles like that of Gigi Cestone in The Sopranos, and NBC’s crime drama Law & Order where he played the role of detective Tony Profaci. Fiore’s most recent work was his role in Meet the Mobsters whereas the lead actor he portrays Johnny Slade, who is a wannabe singer. Fiore was also recently involved in playing the former Edgartown police chief, Dominick Arena, in the film Chappaquiddick. This film talks about a time when Ted Kennedy drove to Martha ’s Vineyard Bridge and his passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne drowns. The story is set in 1969 and the film was released in 2017. Apart from these major roles, Fiore was also seen on Showtime’s Brotherhood as Alphonse Nozzoli, and in Guiding Light as Vinnie Salerno. Fiore was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He now lives in Stoneham.
Born and raised in India into a “large joint family”, I always felt like the odd one out. I valued isolation and I wasn’t afraid to speak my mind, traits that often clashed with my family’s traditions and expectations of me. I loved spending time in the woods behind my house and could wander for hours, fascinated by nature. As a child I was insecure of my differences. Over time, I have come to fall in love with my individuality.
In 2002, I got married and moved to the US. I graduated as an Interior designer, fully believing that it would remain my life-long career. But life had more to offer. Over the next 20 years, my family moved from country to country, but it was in 2015, after our move to Hong Kong, that my life changed. After experiencing a life altering event, I underwent a major spiritual awakening and enrolled for my first QHHT session.
My own QHHT session gave me clarity and provided a path that brought me to my life’s purpose. In the session I was told that I would become a healer myself. I felt an intuitive sense of connection to QHHT and knew I wanted to be a part of something bigger and more powerful than myself. I went on to train under Julia Cannon and learned her mother Dolores’ Quantum Healing Hypnosis technique. After conducting sessions on hundreds of clients, and undergoing extensive examination, I became a level three practitioner.
Every day my life’s purpose is amplified by the joy my work brings me. My passion is to bring awareness to people that all healing and all answers lie within us. If we pay attention to our inner landscape instead of depending on our external environment for clarity, then the results can be limitless.

Hello, I am MJ (Mary Jo) Ross, and I’ve lived in Oklahoma since 1998. I have an extensive background in nonprofits and business, but I’m here to share things about me that are more personal.
If you’ve been abused or know someone who has, I want you to know that there is healing no matter how bad the abuse is or was. It is possible to not only survive but also thrive. It’s not an easy journey, but it is worth it.
As a survivor of many types of abuse from birth to right before I started my senior year of high school, I was born into a generational satanic cult, sex trafficked by four family members, and experienced awful things you don’t want to imagine.
After years of feeling ashamed about what happened to me, I finally realized in 2022 that I was not the one who should be ashamed. The abusers should be. I discovered that telling my story and supporting other survivors has helped me heal. It also permits others to share their story.
Even after years of therapy, instead of using drugs, alcohol, cutting, starving, binging, or many other things to keep the feelings and memories deep inside and try to cut them off completely, I became a workaholic. After all, when you work seven days a week for years, it’s easy to ignore those feelings and memories.
As a single mom without child support, I quickly got caught up in work. As an executive director of up to six nonprofit state professional associations at the same time, I also owned a for-profit association management and consulting company. I helped start a national nonprofit on top of that.
Work travel kept me on the road 26 weekends a year for three straight years. I became severely burned out. I had to close my business because it was too dependent on me. It was excruciating because I discovered that my work was my identity. Knowing that I’m not meant for the corporate world, I opened a consulting business along the way and trained as a Small Business Transformation Coach to learn all the company “stuff” I didn’t know the first time.
I began volunteering with SCORE Tulsa as a mentor, helping business owners and nonprofit executives write business plans and guide their businesses toward a successful future. I also met a representative of The Demand Project through LinkedIn and became a volunteer with their organization which fights crimes against children.

Salman serves as the CEO of National Foot & Ankle Partners, a physician centric company focused on enabling independent foot & ankle surgery / podiatry practices to thrive.
As a husband to a practicing foot & ankle surgeon (a graduate of Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine), the rewards and challenges of foot & ankle healthcare is part of the family – and he has a deep appreciation and understanding for the professionals who practice it.
Salman himself is a physician by background and completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Cardiothoracic Transplantation Immunology at Yale University School of Medicine.
However, during the course of his medical training, he was increasingly captivated by how healthcare systems are developed and organized to allow healthcare delivery at scale.

At McKinsey & Company’s NYC office - Salman focused on serving clients across the full range of healthcare sectors, including pharmaceuticals, health insurance as well as government led health care services.
Salman subsequently went on to become a Principal in the Health Insurance and Hospital focused practice at The Boston Consulting Group, another global management consulting firm.
He thereafter served as the Head of Operations for an established and growth-stage health tech company called Zocdoc and oversaw the scale up of multiple operational teams serving small medical practice as well as large hospital clients
Prior to becoming CEO of National Foot & Ankle Partners, Salman founded and ran a thriving management consulting practice serving the operational and strategic needs of a wide variety of healthcare clients which included PE backed medical practice platforms as well as health insurance clients from the large nationals to local Blue plans.

Mantra Americana II Overview
Grammy®-nominated Madi Das and Dave Stringer, are the artist-producers behind Mantra Americana.
The new music expands on the sound they crafted for the first album, combining modal melodies derived from Indian ragas with the chord structures and ecstatic harmonies of American Gospel and Bluegrass. From swinging Bhangra tabla grooves to the twang of Appalachia, the sound of the band Mantra Americana can memorably be described as Roots & Ragas, Nashville meets Namasté, Country & Eastern.
Highlights include guest performances from music legends Greg Leisz, Dean Parks, and Mitchel Foreman on dobro, mandolin, pedal steel, accordion, piano and Hammond organ. The lead vocals evoke an alternative version of Johnny Cash if he grew up in an ashram. The ringing harmonies of the backing vocal quartet (Tulsi Bloom, Allie Stringer, Justin Michael Williams and Dave Stringer) recall the Laurel Canyon sound of the ‘70s. Tabla player Patrick Richey studied in India but was raised in Tennessee.
Mantra Americana is all at once profoundly devotional and playfully irreverent. It’s made of motifs that are borrowed and repurposed, but it’s also a wholly original work of art. It manages to be both blasphemous and orthodox, thoroughly modern and still grounded in tradition. It’s a tree with Indian roots growing in American soil, bearing fragrant fruit that tastes both familiar and exotic.
