On this week’s episode, we bring you the remarkable story of Matthew Zachary. In 1995, Matthew was a music major, in his senior year of college at Binghamton University when he started having symptoms that affected his playing of the piano. After eliminating possible causes, doctors diagnosed him with a malignant brain tumor. Matthew takes us along for a ride on his journey and battle with cancer, giving us an insiders perspective of the emotional rollercoaster it causes. All of Matthew’s life plans had to be put on hold, expressing that when cancer calls everything else is secondary. As we head into this week of Thanksgiving, it’s a literal reminder to be thankful for our health, for our loved ones and for all those who have gone before us, young and old, but left us with lessons of strength and hope.

EPISODE #115 | KATIE VAZ | CELEBRATING INTROVERT
Sunday Oct 13, 2019
Sunday Oct 13, 2019
This week our guest is Katie Vaz who talks about what it means to be introverted. Katie found true purpose in being labeled an introvert and has built a business around it. She opened an Etsy shop that led to the placement of her greeting cards in a shop in NYC where a literary agent discovered her work. Her agent connected her to a publisher and now Katie is on the verge of signing on for her forth book deal. Katie offers many ideas and tools for introverts and I’m hopeful this episode will provide a better understanding and appreciation for those who are shy and reticent.

EPISODE #114 | RACHAEL LEONARD | MINDFULNESS IS PRACTICE
Sunday Oct 06, 2019
Sunday Oct 06, 2019
Welcome back everyone for another episode of American Real. This week we have a treat for you, as I sit down with mindfulness-based programs teacher, Rachael Leonard. I had lots of questions for Rachael as she covered topics such as anxiety and where emotions show up in our body. She demonstrated the importance of naming the emotion, and by doing so, how it changes our relationship with that emotion. Then, we engaged in a deep conversation about the constant chatter in our minds, which she referred to as the “monkey mind” and how that affects our awareness. Rachael provides some excellent tools with how to deal with distractions, as well as the best way to approach people who may be distracted during a phone conversation, or a face to face meeting. Finally, our guest provides a wealth of knowledge about mindfulness and insights regarding a scientific explanation of the neural mechanisms associated with meditation practice. You may want to have a notepad handy to capture the names of book recommendations she gives and other great tools.

EPISODE #112 | GILES ALEXANDER | THE PRIVILEGE OF PRACTICE
Sunday Sep 22, 2019
Sunday Sep 22, 2019
This week on American Real we welcome to the set, world renowned artist, Giles Alexander. I continue to be amazed by the context of conversation that takes place when sitting across from a fellow human being. Giles provides a rare view into the depth of his work, which includes his fascination and understanding of nature and the cosmos. In the artist’s statement from his recent exhibit titled; “Eternity. Far Away. So Close.” he says, “This body of work continues to reflect upon existential themes: Who are we? What is our place in the grander scheme? Is there a knowable truth?” He goes on the say,” In my practice, along with figurative clarity, I am compelled by what cannot be seen, or can be seen only with technology.” We discuss his unique technique, the necessity of failure in order to grow and, “The privilege of Practicing.”
