A special "Legacy: Life Reflections" Episode with ex-Ad Man/Mad-Man and all round thoroughly decent human being, my very good friend Reg Starkey! A wonderfully rich conversation with reflections a-plenty on a colourful and creative life, both long-lived and wise! Born in Barking during the Blitz, a benign benefactor put him through private schools in Salisbury and Malvern.  Further education involved French in Paris, Law in London and Advertising in Watford, followed by career as a Copywriter and Creative Director.  He has written a slim volume of poetry entitled ‘The Weekend Artist’ followed by ‘The Old Covent Garden Market’, ‘Samples of One’ and ‘The New Millennium Tales’.  Reg is prolifically creative and energetic currently working on a number of creative projects as part of his legacy: On his memoirs, called ‘Second Thoughts’, a new collection of poetry called ‘A year In Villanelle by way of Limerick and Haiku’ and a guide to dealing with addiction entitled ‘The Battleship and the Lighthouse.’  And as Reg says: “We are all products of our background. The challenge is not to be victims of our history.” Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'. If you would like to be my Guest too then you can find out HOW via the different 'series strands' at 'The Good Listening To Show' website. * Show Website: https://www.thegoodlisteningtoshow.com [https://www.thegoodlisteningtoshow.com/] * You can email me about the Show: chris@secondcurve.uk * Twitter thatchrisgrimes [https://twitter.com/thatchrisgrimes] * LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-grimes-actor-broadcaster-facilitator-coach/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-grimes-actor-broadcaster-facilitator-coach/] * FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/842056403204860 [https://www.facebook.com/groups/842056403204860] To record your Life Story or GIFT an episode to someone that you love, with Chris as your host, then do get in touch about how ‘Legacy Life Reflections’ can help: LEGACY LIFE REFLECTIONS WEBSITE: https://www.legacylifereflections.com [https://www.legacylifereflections.com/] E MAIL: chris@legacylifereflections.com WHATS APP: +44 7711 644 094 LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-grimes-actor-broadcaster-facilitator-coach/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-grimes-actor-broadcaster-facilitator-coach/] FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/chris.grimes.167 [https://www.facebook.com/chris.grimes.167]

Starve the Beast

Starve the Beast The world is crazy - full of poop reports, studies on how governments can save money by killing citizens, and sky-high valuations in the stock market. It's wonderful to hear good news in times like this, where there is someone willing to sue Google and US Government for censorship and defamation or where Rep Anna Paulina Luna is trying to prevent more lobbying for foreign governments' best interests. Today we talk about the positive and negative stories happening around the world. The beast that wants to control us believes they will never be held accountable for their actions. The pentagon has failed its 8th consecutive audit, but there is no punishment for them. Those from the Epstein list that hurt children have not been punished yet. If we don't like the actions of the beast, the best thing we can do is to starve the beast.
