Escaping Child Prostitution in America: Ronald Hunter, Author, Advocate
April is National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. Host Tom Dutta will share stories with Ronald Hunter, author of Angel Finally Found His Wings: A True Story Of Finding Trust, Hope, Faith, And The Power Of Love. After being a part of The Oprah Winfrey Show's '200 Men Who Survived Sexual Abuse' television episode, Ron was inspired to write this memoir. Twelve long years later, the book has been published. Ron has also been featured in The Guardian and the New York Daily News.
“Many people are shocked when I tell them that I’m the youngest of 22 children, but that’s only a small part of my life,” says Ronald Hunter. “Dad died when I was six years old, my mom soon went to a mental institution due to her severe schizophrenia -- and I went to an orphanage. After several years, she was released, and I went back to live with her, but she 'gave' me to a neighbourhood Boy Scout Leader."
Angel Finally Found His Wings is an intimate and candid memoir about a child surviving life on the streets as a prostitute. Twelve-year-old "Angel" shares a room at the YMCA in New York City with thirty-four-year-old Charlie, the pimp who is blackmailing him.
Angel's mom is battling schizophrenia while Charlie, the neighborhood Boy Scout leader, grooms him and continuously threatens to return his mother to a mental institution if Angel doesn't comply and turn tricks on 42nd Street.
Taking place between 1972 and 1977 on the crime-infested streets of New York, Angel, whose real name is Ron, maintains his normal-kid status to his family, classmates, and football buddies in Brooklyn, all while surviving life-threatening situations hustling.
Told in the dual consciousness of Ron as both a growing teenage boy and our first-person narrator looking back at his life, Angel Finally Found His Wings is emotionally wrenching and disarmingly direct.
Ron Hunter was chosen to take part in the The Oprah Winfrey Show's '200 Men Who Survived Sexual Abuse' television episode, airing

Cancer Sucks, but You'll Get Through it Michelle Rapkin Author, 3X Cancer Survivor
Host Tom Dutta asked Michelle Rapkin why she would be a good fit for the narrative of The Quiet Warrior Show. She wrote this:
"I will talk about how powerless we feel when we’re diagnosed with a serious illness. But I made a big discovery during my first bout of cancer: the minute I was diagnosed, I also became the CEO of a major health concern: mine.
I had the most to gain and the most to lose. I needed to be a good CEO, which included becoming informed, knowing what questions to ask, knowing what to look for in the answers I was given;
I became powerful by knowing when to let my team move ahead and when to suggest looking into other solutions.
This has served me well during all three of my cancer episodes. I credit it with some major successes on my journeys through cancer.
EP#248 The 12 STEP Pathway: A Heroic Journey Michael Cowl Gordon MD, Author, Redeemer
Host Tom A. Dutta asked Michael Cowl Gordon to write his reason he should be on The Quiet Warrior Show. Michael poured onto his paper a page and a half of writing, and the latter was this:
"I believe that my story illustrates the heroic journey. Joseph Campbell wrote that the purpose of the heroic journey is to redeem the world. While that would be overstating my accomplishments, I believe it is true that I have helped thousands of patients through my direct involvement in their care. I have helped hundreds of people through mutual involvement in twelve-step recovery. And with this book, I can help thousands more. I believe my story will interest your listeners, and I hope many will be encouraged to see how their lives can also represent a heroic journey as they respond to whatever challenges they encounter."
I may have written too much, as my instructions were to write a paragraph. If so, I apologize. I hope to be a guest on your podcast, where I can tell the story of recovery as a heroic journey. Thank you.

How I Am Making INTEGRITY A Way of BEING with Dr. Jeremy Chapman
Join Host Tom Dutta and Dr. Jeremy Chapman in studio livestreaming to hear the real story of Jeremy's mission of INTEGRITY in BUSINESS and WHY. Here is a few words Jeremy wrote to Tom before the interview:
"I think we have been on similar journeys in part. I also have a military family background, and my pain was not from within the family but rather from leaving them at the age of 11 - I went to boarding school, and it hurt! I survived by trying my best to fit in and by aiming high, and I graduated at the age of 18, but rather than going to University, I chose to start working as I thought money was what I needed immediately; I wanted more of it, and I thought it would lead to the promised land of happiness (spoiler: it doesn't!). I got my head down and aimed high..."
Dr. Jeremy is a globally experienced entrepreneur with a particular interest in responsible business and advocates a deeper understanding and harnessing of integrity as a force for diminishing fear and influencing prosperity.
Jeremy is a Research Fellow with the UNESCO Futures Literacy Finance Chair at the Ecole des Ponts Business School, Paris, and a Futures Fellow at Hawkwood College, Stroud.

Autobiography of a Georgia Cat Michael C Gordon MD, Author
Baby Blue, Smoogie, Lucy Locket, Tiger, Archie, Black Jack. Meet The Gordan Cats! But why did Black Jack find the feline way to write Mike's life story? Join us live. It gonna be good!
Autobiography of a Georgia Cat is the story of a Southern African-American family as it struggles with the illness and death of a granddaughter who is married to a Jewish man. Spiritual and family themes are emphasized. The story is narrated by Black Jack, the remarkable family cat, who also tells of his life as an indoor-outdoor cat in Marietta, Georgia. Much space is devoted to “feline” mythology and spirituality, which have a distinctly Native-American flavour. The strands of many cultures are woven into the fabric of this story, leaving the reader with a positive message of hope and the oneness of all things.
Animal lovers will never look at their pets the same again after meeting Black Jack, a profoundly spiritual cat with a wry sense of humour. He agonizes through the alcoholism of his guardian, Archie, and the increasing decrepitude of Archie’s wife, Cora, and her centenarian mother. The constant outpouring of gospel music from Mama’s radio adds to the spiritual power of this charming and touching story. Whether from his commentary on dogs, fur balls, human nature, or whatever he has on his mind as he tells his tale, the reader will know that he has encountered a wise, marvellous, and unforgettable feline.
