The important first announcement. The next Personal Best Radio Presentation Series Charity Event will be Thursday Sept. 20th, 7 PM at the YWCA Building at 405 Broadway in Tacoma. A fun evening for a good cause. Be sure to check on the flyer linked on the main page for more details.
I love that our show opens with positive notes about regular people performing uncommonly great service in the world. Today's opener was about were two fantastic individuals who started www.mercadoglobal.org. Be sure to check it out.
Our interview was with Susan Piver, author of How Not to Be Afraid of Your Own Life. It was a real pleasure speaking with her, as it is with every guest. A true delight.
We're looking for more businesses to come through with door prizes for our charity event so if you or anyone you know could help with that, send them our way.

August 15, 2007 First Show Complete
From page four to the front door story: Kaziah Hancock. Several years ago Kaziah decided to paint portraits of soldiers who died in Iraq. She volunteers her time, talents, materials and all shipping charges to this cause. When it became apparent that this service may be more long-term than originally thought, Kaziah launched an organization to enlist the help of others. She named the effort, Project Compassion. Now other artists also help with the painting. People who want to support their great service can go to www.heropaintings.com to contribute.
We aired my interview with Dr. Lucy Jo Palladino, author of Find Your Focus Zone. It was a very pleasant interview. I find myself applying a lot of the information that I picked up from her conversation. The book is a wonderful book to have on hand. I highly recommend it. If you want to get a copy, be sure to do it through PBR's Book Recommendation section because a portion of all proceeds from book sales helps to fund juvenile diabetes research.
Our Personal Best story was about a mom who took a step back from her immediate thought to get angry at her son to instead put herself in her young boy's place. When the boy decided he wanted to run away, mom decided she'd better go with him. A touching story. Be sure to listen for it on the show.
Focus on Self advice for the day - How to Eliminate Negative Thinking from Your Life. I'm convinced this is a major key to move people from they are to where they want to be. Get your mind on what you want instead of what you got and you're well on your way to getting there.

August 9, 2007 Interview About the Show
The night before I found it difficult to sleep. I had spoken to audiences before; many audiences, many times. This wasn't the same. Not just one or two thousand, but thousands of people listening and no way to see them as I spoke. And let's not forget that the whole world could listen in through the magic of the Internet. Yes, this was different, and for me, something that was apparently causing some nervousness. Every once in awhile it's good to do something new and a bit scary. It keeps life interesting, right?
The interview was set for 8:30. I arrived to the station early - around 8:00. I chose to stay in the car and relax. Lean the chair back, close eyes, breath, relax, breath. relax. Okay, no problem, we can do this. At about 8:20 I rose from my ad-hoc meditation. I walked across the lot; calm, relaxed, and serene. I reach up to pull open the station front door and.... oh no! The door is locked. How can this be? Okay, no problem. Knock on the door, someone in there will hear, right? Knock, knock knock. No reply. Knock, knock knock, a bit louder this time. Still nothing. I'm thinking okay, there has to be someone in there, this is when we agreed to do the interview and the station is broadcasting. But this is exactly why I don't want to knock too loud. Could banging on the door actually be heard through the on-air microphone and broadcast to the world? Perish the thought. Okay, just call the office, I think. Crap, cell phone left at home. Five minutes to air time now. Calm. Stay calm.
My heroine appears; a wonderful lady a few doors down is stepping out of her office to enjoy a cigarette. "Excuse me," I say. "Could I borrow your office phone?" "Sure," she replies. We walk into her office, find the number in the phone book and give the office a ring. On the other end of the line I hear a very friendly voice. "KLAY Radio."My world is whole again.
Moments before air time I have the headset on and I hear the last of the race track report. Babe's Beauty has been scratched from the 7th race. Now it's our turn. The morning show host begins. "With me now is Dr. Arron Grow, host of our newest show, Personal Best Radio which will air every Wednesday at noon. Dr. Grow, tell us about the show." And with that, Personal Best Radio is born.
