Better Call Daddy

My daddy has a jaw-dropping perspective shift in this episode. Connie Polke and I met on the SNF (Skilled Nursing Facilities) Spotlight Series I was producing in Chicago and she was guesting. Our relationship blossomed from there. This is one of the final interviews I did in Chicago. She got to meet my dad, interview me, and I interviewed her. Connie is an animal lover, a helper, and a caretaker of others. She has overcome abuse, abortion, and raising children as a single mom. She's worked in healthcare for her whole career as an employee and an entrepreneur and now she's going back to school. Growing up she asked herself how am I going to get out of this house? Today we are talking about confidence, believing in yourself, and legacy. Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space for Controversy.

What would your life be like if you took an adult gap year? Are there things you’d like to say no to? How can you be the best father and bring yourself joy? “Where do I find my self-worth?” A common question asked when meeting someone new is, “What do you do?” For decades workers were able to find their answer and self-worth in how and to whom they sold their labor. However, it seems that through the Great Resignation, the mindset of finding one's self-worth through a job is going the way of the typewriter or the fax machine in the office. Data is showing that the Great Resignation is less about money and more about lifestyle choices and asking for respect by workers. 57% of those surveyed in a February 2022 Pew Research Center poll cited they “felt disrespected at work” for the reasoning behind their resignation. In addition, a MIT Sloan Management Review article that analyzed one million Glassdoor reviews stated that “Toxic Culture” - in particular feeling disrespected in the workplace - was “ten times more important than compensation in predicting turnover.” Like many others, Roger has found that intentionally living out his life through the completion of items on my bucket list brings him the self-worth he was seeking that a job no longer fulfills. Here are three benefits (plus two bonus benefits) to self-worth that one can find through crossing items off a bucket list: You decide what brings you joy You feel pride through accomplishments you chose You build confidence having your own stories to share Bonus Benefits You become motivated and excited about life You get outside of your bubble Roger is a member of the Great Resignation. In October of 2021, after a heart attack and thirty plus years in the youth development/teaching field, he quit his position to take an “Adult Gap Year.” During this time he traveled and lived around the globe, crossing items off his bucket list and encouraged others to do the same. During this time he also started a podcast called The Crossing It Off Podcast, where he interviews individuals living with intention through items they have crossed off their lists that have experienced these benefits as well. Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy. Roger Williams is a writer, podcaster, adventurer, and Head Crosser Offer of his bucket list. After more than 30 years working in the youth development and teaching field, a year in quarantine, and two heart attacks, Roger embarked on an adult gap year to prioritize a life in which he is known not by his professional work, but by the way he lives his life and the people he grows relationships with. During his gap year he completed a three month solo journey traveling around the world to cross items off his bucket list, inspiring others to do the same.

Today’s guest, Eli Erlanger, is a 10th grader, who is a truth seeker and wanted to do some investigative journalism of his own! He sent me a message on Instagram about the Oscar Stewart, the Protector of Poway Chabad episode 193 I did and I loved his approach! Read his message below. Hello Mrs.Watts, I am Eli Erlanger and I am a student from the Wellington School in Columbus Ohio. I am doing a social history project on the Poway Synagogue Shooting. I would love to get your insights as I need one more interview and I think you are the perfect person after listening to your podcast. It’s a short interview only 10-15 minutes max. I could send you the completed interview when the project is done. Thank you, Eli Oscar Stewart Episode was a re-broadcast of the live interview I did with army veteran Oscar Stewart, the Protector of Poway Chabad at a Shul Safety Team Officer event in Chicago sponsored by the Concerned Citizen's League. When the shooting started in Poway that Passover, chaos erupted, and human instincts kicked in. As an army veteran, he knew what he had to do, and didn't think twice. Oscar did two tours during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and his training prepared him as he ran into the line of fire. Stewart emphasized the importance of training repeatedly until the responses to a situation become instinctual. "Whatever it was that moved through him at that moment, it propelled Stewart into the lobby. He saw the young man — who authorities say was 19-year-old John T. Earnest — in a military-style vest wielding a semiautomatic rifle." “Get down!” Stewart yelled in the loudest tenor he could muster. The gunman fired two more rounds in response. “I’m going to kill you,” Stewart boomed. This seemed to rattle Earnest, who began to flee.

Today I’m speaking to Riley Gaines who’s speaking up for the injustices in sports! It’s not just about politics, it’s about fairness! She has athleticism in her blood and real role model parents! Her dad was even an NFL player! You may recognize Riley’s name from the news, she’s recently made headlines for speaking out against injustices in the athletic world against women. This was sparked at a recent NCAA swimming competition where Riley tied for fifth place with a transgender women who is biologically male, Lia Thomas. Riley was told the trophy would be given to her opponent and she would wait for hers in the mail. What infuriated her was not the trophy or lack thereof but the fact that she as a woman at a woman’s competition was pushed aside and disregarded. Today we find out what issues she is facing and why she is speaking up. Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy!

Love is in the air today on the Better Call Daddy Show! I interview Evan Rabin days after he proposed to his fiancé! Shout out to Stacey Ehrlick! Mazal tov! He’s a true New Yorker, a National chess master, podcaster, host of Premier Chess Podcast, and fabulous Shaily Hakimian connected us! Developing a chess mindset can be a competitive sport! Chess has been in my family for years and today Daddy’s giving some advice to the newly engaged couple! Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy! Premier Chess CEO Evan Rabin fell in love with chess at a young age. When he was 7 his brother and father taught him how to play. Two months later he was playing in school. Two months after that, he went to his first tournament. One month later he went to Nationals. He never looked back. After graduating from Brandeis University Evan started teaching chess full-time, but eventually decided to set his sights on the corporate world, working at Oracle and Rapid7 and briefly running his own sales company, Pillar Sales. However, Evan became disillusioned with corporate life. Emphasis on golf and commission did not match the reward that he felt from making a difference in students’ lives. So one night, at the wedding of one of his old chess buddies, Evan had the realization that chess was where he wanted to be full-time. Evan left Pillar Sales, in July of 2017 and founded Premier Chess. Utilizing the chess network that he had built throughout his life and his sales experience, Evan started programs in 14 schools within 2 months. From there he started offering corporate classes, working with clients like Kramer-Levin, a top New York City law firm, and Movable Inc. Premier Chess became about creating access. Everyone has a lot to gain from chess and deserves the opportunity to give it a shot regardless of geography. So Evan started taking on students in remote areas through Skype, expanding to 5 states, and even teaching as far as Tanzania. Now, partnering with vendors like the National Scholastic Chess Foundation, National Education Chess Association, and Top Level Chess, Premier Chess is expanding to Florida, Massachusetts, Washington, Colorado, while international efforts are continuing in Myanmar. One day, Evan hopes that any student anywhere in the world who wants to play chess will be able to.

Lena Cebula never would have imagined sharing her miraculous story. She felt like there was no hope for someone like her growing up in Ukraine. She was human trafficked to Israel, addicted to drugs, found God, and had her prayers answered. Today she’s a Christian, an author, motivational speaker, podcaster, host of Love & Bloved, and social justice advocate. Her podcast was created to encourage, inspire and to give hope. If you have pain, keep trying! Have faith! Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Comtroversy. Are you struggling to believe there is a purpose for your life, that you can make sense of what seems like a mess? Struggling to believe that there is someone -anyone - who cares about you? Struggling to believe that after all you've been through, seen, or done that there is a chance you'll ever find peace and wholeness again? As a little girl growing up in a post-USSR Ukrainian iron mining town, Lena spent her life grappling with these same questions. This raw, transparent account of her life chronicles the years she spent running - running from a broken family, broken country, and broken dreams - in pursuit of something or someone who could calm the hopeless nightmare that her life had become. Drug addicted, alcohol dependent, and twice trafficked to foreign countries, she still had glimpses of what her life could be and kept chasing the elusive peace she constantly craved. However, on the other side of each empty promise of fulfillment she only ever found more pain until one day, one promise checked out. Lena met someone who showed her she didn't have to run anymore. Miraculous is a story of the storm before the calm, a journey from pain to healing. It is Lena's story, but it could be yours, too.

One of nine children, Stephen MR Covey, says each of them felt like they were the favorite in the family! How do parents do that? How do you recognize your kids’ strengths and affirm them? Who has seen greatness in you? Parenting doesn’t have to be my way or the highway command and control and neither does the workplace! Stephen M.R. Covey says everyone can inspire and lead! It takes courage! Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy! Stephen M. R. Covey is co-founder of CoveyLink and the FranklinCovey Global Trust Practice. A sought-after and compelling keynote speaker and advisor on trust, leadership, ethics, and collaboration, he speaks to audiences around the world. He is the New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Speed of Trust, a groundbreaking and paradigm-shifting book that challenges our age-old assumption that trust is merely a soft, social virtue and instead demonstrates that trust is a hard-edged, economic driver. The Speed of Trust has been translated into 22 languages and has sold over 2 million copies worldwide. Stephen is also the author of the forthcoming book, Trust & Inspire: How Truly Great Leaders Unleash Greatness in Others, which will be released on April 5, 2022. While the world has changed, our style of leadership has not. Most leaders and organizations—faced with ever new and disrupting challenges—continue to operate from a base model of “Command & Control;” they’ve just become more advanced and sophisticated at it, what Stephen calls “Enlightened Command & Control.” In contrast to Command & Control, Trust & Inspire is all about unleashing greatness in others. Leading in a way that both inspires and empowers people to become the best version of themselves—tapping into a sense of purpose, meaning, contribution and inclusion. The result is a level of belonging, collaboration, and ultimately innovation that Command & Control is simply not capable of producing. Stephen asserts that trust has become the new currency of our world, and that having the ability to develop, extend, and restore trust with all stakeholders is the number one competency of leadership needed today. He passionately delivers this message and is dedicated to enabling individuals and organizations to reap the dividends of high trust throughout the world. Audiences and organizations alike resonate with his tangible, practical approach to trust. Stephen is the former CEO of Covey Leadership Center, which, under his direction, became the largest leadership development company in the world. He personally led the strategy that propelled his father’s book, Dr. Stephen R. Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, to become one of the two most influential business books of the 20th Century, according to CEO Magazine. A Harvard MBA, Stephen joined Covey Leadership Center as a Client Developer, became National Sales Manager, and then President & CEO. Under Stephen’s leadership, the company achieved Inc. 500 status, nearly doubled revenues while increasing profits by 12 times, and expanded into over 40 countries. This greatly increased the value of the brand and company. Within three years of being named CEO, Stephen had increased shareholder value by 67 times in a merger with then FranklinQuest to form FranklinCovey. Over the years, Stephen has gained considerable respect and influence with executives and leaders of Fortune 500 companies as well as with mid- and small-sized private sector and public sector organizations he’s consulted. Clients recognize his unique perspective on real-world organizational issues based on his practical experience as a former CEO. Stephen serves on numerous boards, including the Government Leadership Advisory Council, and he has been recognized with the lifetime Achievement Award for “Top Thought Leaders in Trust” from the advocacy group, Trust Across America/Trust Around the World. Stephen resides with his wife and children in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains.

All rise! On today’s Better Call Daddy Show you’ll hear from a tv judge one who developed a second show called Whistleblower! There are a lot of nuances based on state law! From police officer to lawyer to judge to tv judge, Judge Alex Ferrer has done it all! What makes a network show work? What was it like to move the show from Houston to LA? What are the union rules like in television? Are the cases real on court television? What has Judge Alex learned about Hollywood? Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy! Alex Ferrer’s family fled communist Cuba to the United States when he was just a baby. Starting a new life in America, his parents exchanged well-paying careers with an American company in Havana for minimum wage jobs in Miami in order to live in freedom. Watching his parents work several jobs a day to make ends meet, Alex was raised with a strong work ethic. It is that perspective and an appreciation for the opportunities America provides that make his success story a true “American Dream.” Alex began working full time at the age of fifteen, pumping gas at a full-service station, performing oil changes and minor vehicle repairs. He worked six to seven days a week while attending high school during the day. By the time he was seventeen Alex was managing the gas station, closing it down at night on his own and taking the day’s receipts to the owner’s home. When he was 18, Alex obtained his pilot’s license but quickly realized that, while flying was a great hobby, the thought of constantly leaving his family to travel across the country did not appeal to him as a career. Changing gears, he decided to pursue a career in law enforcement. After much resistance because of his young age, Alex finally succeeded in getting a police department to send him to the academy, where officers challenged him every day for being “too young.” Proving them wrong, Alex graduated with the highest award in the police academy, the “Most Outstanding Recruit,” becoming one of the youngest police officers in the State of Florida at the age of 19. Honoring a promise to his parents to keep taking advantage of the educational opportunities America provided, Alex worked full-time as a cop while attending college and eventually law school full-time as well. In law school, this meant attending class daily from 8 to 4 and then donning a uniform and patrolling from 4:30 to 12:30. A late arrest would result in his not returning home until 2 or 3 in the morning but the next day’s class would still start at 8am. Despite this rigorous work schedule, Alex was able to become a published member of the University of Miami Law Review, an accomplishment that led to many career opportunities upon graduation. As an attorney, Alex worked as a civil litigator at some of the better law firms in Miami. Despite being very successful in his new career, the personal gratification he had felt as a police officer was noticeably lacking. Anticipating that being a judge would renew the sense of satisfaction he had felt as an officer, Alex ran for a seat on the Circuit Court bench, the highest trial court in the state. Despite being the youngest candidate at 34, he beat out his two opponents, a sitting judge and an attorney 20 years his senior, by a landslide; becoming the youngest judge on Miami’s Circuit Court and the first Cuban-American lawyer ever elected to the Circuit Court bench. During his years on the bench, Judge Ferrer tried some of Miami’s worst criminals. Serial killers, murderers, rapists, armed robbers and kidnappers all passed through his courtroom. Many trials were covered nationally and several have been the subject of books, documentaries and at least one upcoming movie. He taught and continues to teach judges annually at judicial conferences throughout Florida. After 10 years on the bench, Judge Ferrer was being considered for a vacancy on Miami’s prestigious Third District Court of Appeals. Out of 60 well-respected judges and lawyers, he was the only applicant to have been unanimously recommended to Florida’s Governor by the Judicial Nominating Commission. Choosing instead to pursue a television opportunity, Judge Ferrer withdrew his name from the Governor’s consideration and began resolving disputes in 2005 on his nationally syndicated, televised courtroom show: “Judge Alex,” which has aired in 96% of the U.S for 9 seasons. In 2008 he was named the “Most Trustworthy Daytime Television Host,” beating out such household names as Oprah, Ellen, Regis and Dr. Phil, and was included in People Magazine’s Sexiest Man edition. Alex’s story starts with him as the child of parents who gave up everything they had so that their family could live in freedom. Working hard through high school, college and law school, his accomplishments included several individual careers on his way to becoming a nationally recognized celebrity and well-respected legal analyst. Whatever opportunities the future holds, there is no doubt that Alex’s story is tr

How do you NOT quit? How do you go from victim to victor? Today's guest is a former marine, well-known ultra-endurance athlete, and Muay Thai champ, Tom Jones has been doing self-improvement for years. In fact, he's certified in Mark Divine's Unbeatable Mind coaching program. Fail Forward Fast! He recently helped one of my former guests, Lily Brasch, reach a new world record at Camelback Mountain. Lily Brasch has never met anyone with the condition she has, it's a rare form of muscular dystrophy. She had been encouraged to quit, sit in a wheelchair and take a free ride, and the two of them bonded over not accepting what others told them in their childhoods. They both go against the grain together and showed true grit. Tonight is Passover which is all about getting over doubt, uncertainty, and being in over your head, believing in yourself and G-d for strength to preserve. When we put ego aside perspective widens. Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy. We are the master of our own ship! Tom Jones ran to New York for 120 consecutive marathons and spoke at Niketown it may have involved tears! Sacred silence and being okay in his own skin. He's getting ready to run 76 marathons in a row from Alabama to Utah for United We Pledge. Got your attention? His childhood was a dumpster fire, he experienced pedophilia, the marine corp helped him find inspiration, Chuck Norris was an amazing role model, and patriot, then he became a bodyguard and toured the world, he set a world record on a stand-up paddleboard, and created an education program for children, rethinking single-use plastic.

I absolutely loved the message I received from today’s guest Craig Parks: “First off I want to say thank you so much for the podcast you did with Oscar Stewart. As a synagogue professional myself and in light of what happened in Texas this episode really resonated with me as we try to balance security with our Jewish value of hachnasat orchim, welcoming the stranger. Your podcast is so diverse and as a professional musician, parent educator and entrepreneur it would be a treat to share music, stories, and ways for parents to create lifelong happy childhood memories with their kids. I started a show with my then 5 year old daughter when the pandemic started filled with music, shtick, and interactive games on FB LIve. We have done 64 episodes so far and I put a couple of them on YouTube if you want to check it out. It is called Parks Party Central. Being a camp director of Jewish day camps for 25 years and being a dad of two has taught me a ton that I am now ready to share with the world. Fun songs, parenting advice that can help them increase joy and reduce stress, and leaving your audience with hope & inspiration would be great.” I knew I had to have Craig and his daughter Neshama on after that message! What kind of relationship do you want with your kids and your world? When life doesn’t go as planned and it’s not working, then what? Today we are talking and singing along with Craig Parks who’s been a camp director for 25 years and was afraid to be a girl dad! He’s now a dad of 2, a husband, and a parent educator!

What are the differences between the old and new manufacturing? What is IoT and a technology stack? What solutions are you providing, that’s what people want to know! Manufacturing was lagging in technology and not a lot of people were jumping into it. Ripe for disrupting! Cloud technology has changed everything in the industrial space! Adapt or go out of business! What's it like to work with family and create good culture for millennials in a connected world? Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy! Adam Livesay is the cofounder of Elevāt.IoT, a keynote speaker, and when he's not working he enjoys bonding over sports, coaching, and skiing. Adam Livesay has made a name for himself in the IoT world, specifically as it applies to use with heavy commercial equipment. Adam co-founded Elevāt.IoT to partner with OEMs and Fleets to bring ready-to-use, big-picture solutions to real business problems. Before Elevāt, Adam was at Western Integrated Technologies (WIT), an industrial manufacturing and integration company. During his time at WIT, Adam saw that its customers, OEMs of heavy commercial equipment, were plagued by a limited ability to see, in real-time, what went on with their machines once they were out in the field. This limitation hampered their ability to know when the machines were off-line, prevent costly repairs, recommend scheduled maintenance, and identify when to replace parts. Adam understood that eliminating this pain point would help his customers save time and money, spot trends earlier, and determine what improvements to make on future machines - critical components of staying competitive. That's why Elevāt was born. Adam believes in using every one of the 1440 minutes he has in a day wisely, and he helps his customers do the same. He created a ready-to-go platform that works with the customer's existing process and business model instead of handing them a burdensome and time-consuming learning curve. Elevāt's platform allows customers to get valuable feedback and quickly make improvements that relate to in-field realities, increase productivity and safety, and reduce the time between equipment failures. You can find out more about what Adam Livesay and Elevāt are doing at www.elevat-iot.com.

Today we talk about what it was really like behind the scenes of producing the show and the American Dream! Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy! Throughout an illustrious career, Jerry Springer has become a cultural and civic icon. In addition to being one of the world’s most well-known talk show hosts, Springer has been the mayor of Cincinnati, a political pundit, lawyer, Emmy award-winning newscaster, game show host, country recording artist, international emcee, and TV personality. Springer has been in movies and on Broadway, he's a progressive talk-radio broadcaster and Springer won America's hearts with his ballroom dancing. Recently Springer added Podcaster with the wildly popular “Tales, Tunes and Tomfoolery” at www.JerrySpringer.com Because of the lasting popularity of his talk show and political interests, Springer has become a favorite guest speaker at college campuses across the USA and the world. In recent years, Springer was welcomed at The Clinton School of Public Service, Harvard, Yale, Georgetown, George Washington, American University, Tulane, as well as other academic institutions. Springer was personally invited by both the Oxford Union of Oxford University and Cambridge University to participate in their guest lecture series. In Oxford, Springer broke all attendance records for that long-standing series and has been invited back several times. In 2011, Springer kicked off the prestigious Eisenhower Symposium at Johns Hopkins University speaking on the topic of “America’s Boundless Possibilities.” Everyone knew Springer had "arrived" as a true cultural icon when he was the featured character in The Simpsons' 1998 Halloween Special. He has also graced the cover of Rolling Stone, Esquire, TV Guide and New York Magazine. Springer has also joined the exclusive club of being named one of Barbara Walters 10 Most Fascinating People. "Ringmaster" hit bookstore shelves in 1998. Penned by Springer, it was a personal account of his experiences along with remembrances from his childhood and professional career. Also, in 1998, Springer made his first venture into feature films, starring in Ringmaster, a fictionalized movie chronicling his television talk show. In 1999, Springer teamed up with Mike Myers, where he portrayed himself in the hit movie "Austin Powers 2: The Spy Who Shagged Me." In 2009, Springer brought his comedic skills and theatrical style to London’s West End playing the role of Billy Flynn in the hit musical production of Chicago. Warwick Thompson of Bloomberg News, said, "There’s the sheer pleasure of watching a genial TV pundit in a fish-out-of-water situation and having a good time.” Springer reprised the role in the United States and, as a culmination, played Billy Flynn on Broadway – a life-changing event for Springer. A parody of The Jerry Springer Show, Jerry Springer: The Opera played in London to sold-out crowds at the prestigious National Theater and then won the Lawrence Olivier Award for best musical which is akin to the Tony Awards. The Opera toured throughout England and received outstanding reviews. The Opera had its New York premiere at Carnegie Hall in January of 2008 with movie star Harvey Keitel playing the role of Springer. JSTO continues to travel across the USA and the world to sold-out crowds and controversial but rave reviews. Additionally, Springer has hosted a variety show in England and South Africa. The South African program was broadcast in more than 40 African nations, featuring interviews with celebrities, monologues, and skits in front of a live studio audience. It ranked among the most popular television show in South Africa. All proceeds from the show went to AIDS charities. Springer has spread his wings recording two CD's in Nashville, one aptly titled "Dr. Talk." He has also twice served as the master of ceremonies for the “Miss World Pageant.” Springer added a Broadway appearance to his distinguished list of achievements, starring for a week in the production of the Rocky Horror Show Live.

He’d later become a thesis student allowing him to produce The Painter (2017). Check out Chaz’s filmography HERE!
