Chuck and Julie Show Guest, Ron Hanks July 21, 2025
Colorado State Representative

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.

Breaking the Silence Guest, Lurata Lyon July 20, 2025
Author, Motivational Speaker, Wellbeing & Lifestyle Planer, Public Speaker, Presenting Coach

I am a survivor of civil war in the former Yugoslavia, have endured the trauma of being held captive, suffering torture and abuse.  But I’m one of the lucky ones having eventually escaped to the United Kingdom.
From not speaking a word of English, I went to college, supported myself through various jobs from working all hours in a dry-cleaning business, through to manning an internet café.  I saved to invest in myself, and qualified as personal trainer and nutritionist.
In tandem I began to work with charities and got involved with voluntary work to campaign against human trafficking and exploitation of women.  This led to joining the public speaking circuit, where I use my story of ‘survival to success’ to give others hope.
Additionally I qualified as a public speaking and presentation skills coach working on a global level with start-ups, through to multi-national firms across media, financial services and technology, including WPP, Dentsu, Verizon Media, Yahoo, The Telegraph, Goldman Sachs, Engie, Bloomberg, Clear View, Amobee, Google to name a few.
My latest initiative is focused on lifestyle planning and wellbeing, to optimize work performance, avoid burnout and ensure mental health is kept in check.  I provide bespoke plans based on individual needs around lifestyle goals, and work objectives including:

Exercise and activity (this doesn’t have to be about completing a marathon!)
Diet plans and nutrition, from low fat alternatives through to brainfood and supplements
Sleep, rest and downtime
The role of technology to optimize peak performance, and tracking recovery
Breathing techniques and meditation
Lifestyle planning and time management techniques

As a founder of a  fitness business and ultimately moving into the coaching circuit, I’ve successfully run my own personal training business from 2005 to 2013, focusing on delivering 5 star training, injury rehabilitation, nutritional advice and personal programs, I was lucky enough to be exposed to A-list clients from athletes and actors through to the top business people from around the world. I played a vital part in helping them achieve their dreams and helped them make gains in both their physical and mental conditioning.

I moved to Singapore in April 2014 to 2018 and I recognized the huge potential in Asia for taking a tried, tested and successful training program to market and tailoring specifically to local/regional companies and their workforce.

London has always  been home for me and it is an amazing feeling to be back.

I am finally working on my  book  and will be available on the book stores soon. I enjoy traveling all over the world speaking to audiences, both large and small about making their dreams come true and coming up and over trials and tribulations.  As well, I am uniting with women’s organizations to empower women all over the globe by bringing both practical solutions as well as inspiration.

Whiplash Talk Guest, David Weiss July 19, 2025
Dave Weiss - a prominent proponent of the Flat Earth theory.

Flat Earth Dave is a prominent proponent of the Flat Earth theory and frequently appears on podcasts and interviews to discuss his views on the Flat Earth model, Gravity, and Antarctica. 

However, he was not always a believer.

Dave was born and raised on the East Coast of the United States where he began his Flat Earth journey after leaving his corporate job to start his own company.

Rumor has it, as a hobby Dave hosted a conspiracy comedy show for a few years in New York City and at the urging of his fans he looked into what he believed to be a ridiculous notion called, "Flat Earth".  Dave set out to disprove this conspiracy and discovered, to his surprise, the facts convinced him differently. Dave is now on a mission to wake up the world to the Flat Earth. 

Flat Earth Dave will be a fun, trippy, mind blowing guest that will at the very least leave yourself asking "Hmmm...is the earth really flat?!" 

Signs of Life Guest, Laura Wooster July 18, 2025
Intuitive Medium, Teacher, Radio Host

Laura Wooster is an Intuitive Medium, Teacher, and host of The Intuitive Life on MindBodySpirit.fm.

Laura is a Spiritualist minister ordained by The Journey Within Spiritualist Church, Pompton Lakes, NJ. She is also a Certified Medium with the Forever Family Foundation.

With a calm and supportive presence, Laura offers private Intuitive sessions to help you become the person you are meant to be while honoring where you are today. In addition, she offers private Mediumship sessions that offer peace in the awareness that your departed loved ones are still present.

Laura facilitates intuitive / psychic development classes and ongoing monthly development circles in Massachusetts and New Jersey.

"It’s an honor to be present in a room when a loved one in Spirit reaches out to those who are missing them. I’m only an interpreter for the process - because the language of spirit isn’t necessarily like ours. They communicate through energy. And I’ve learned over time to interpret the message they are trying to get across. Which ultimately is that they are still very much present in our lives...

Also my goal isn’t necessarily to convince anyone of what I believe to be true - that we continue to exist after we’ve left this world. But at the very least, it opens the door for people to consider something more. It can be life changing for some."  - Laura Wooster | Intuitive Medium & Teacher
