Real Life with Toni Reece and Guest Cathleen Palm

There are moments in life that change us forever.  Some moments fill us with joy.  Others leave wounds that take years to understand, years to heal, and sometimes a lifetime to transform into something meaningful.  Cathleen Palm is the founder of the Center for Children’s Justice, an organization dedicated to protecting children and strengthening systems designed to keep them safe.  But long before she became an advocate, she was a child whose own life was shaped by childhood trauma.  Her story reminds us that trauma does not have to write the final chapter of our lives and healing is possible.

Every family has a story.  Some stories are about where we came from.  Others are about what we build along the way.  But the most meaningful stories are about what we leave behind.    This episode of Real Life we talk to father and son, Jack and Chuck Gulati.  What happens when one generation creates opportunities and the next generation chooses to build them in a different way?  How do you balance family and business without losing sight of either?  What does success look like after decades of hard work?  Jack and Chuck tackle those questions as well as legacies and life lessons.

Real Life with Toni Reece and Guests Jim & Gracie Rutolo

Most people see a successful restaurant and think about the food.  They think about the atmosphere.  They think about the menu.  What they don’t see are the years of risk, sacrifice, uncertainty, setbacks, and perseverance that happened long before the first customer walked through the door.  Jim and Gracie Rutolo are owners of Gracie’s on West Main and Louie’s Kitchen and Bar.  Together, they have built two successful restaurants, but their story began with very little money, a lot of determination and a willingness to take a chance on themselves.
