Author, Activist, and Attorney Monica Harris on How To Bridge the Divide In the USA

Author, Activist, and Attorney Monica Harris on How To Bridge the Divide In the USA
Monica Harris graduated from Princeton University and Harvard Law School. She was a business affairs executive in the entertainment industry. She enjoyed the money and perks that many think accompany “success.”
But nine years ago, she had an epiphany. She realized that she was making more money each year, yet struggling to maintain her lifestyle. She was working harder at a job she could lose in a “restructuring.”and spending less time with her family.
She also realized The world was changing in ways that weren’t making her life better.
And no matter who was elected or what they promised, the problems kept getting worse.
She realized she was pretending that she lived in a world that still made sense.​ And then she decided to stop pretending.
In 2011, she and her partner moved their family to Montana to pursue a more sustainable lifestyle.
To be still. To breathe. To think.
She still practices law. But when she looks up from her desk, she sees Douglas firs, white-tailed deer, and the occasional moose.
Free from the city grind, she sees the illusions that trap us all in a distorted reality and convinces us that we live in a world we don't really live in.
It took her nearly forty years to unplug, but she’s hoping that together we can do it a lot faster.

Bill Fitzhugh
Bill Fitzhugh is the award-winning author of ten comic and satiric crime novels. His debut, Pest Control, was translated into half a dozen languages, the film rights sold to Warner Brothers, it was produced as a popular radio show in Germany, and as a stage musical in Los Angeles. Prior to Human Resources, Fitzhugh published The Exterminators, the sequel to Pest Control.
The New York Times said, “Fitzhugh is in a league with Carl Hiaasen and Elmore Leonard…he is a strange and deadly amalgam of screenwriter and comic novelist.” The late, great political humorist, Molly Ivins said, “Fitzhugh is one seriously funny guy.” A one-time FM rock deejay, he wrote, produced, and hosted Fitzhugh’s All Hand Mixed Vinyl for five years on Sirius-XM’s Deep Tracks channel. Born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi, Fitzhugh lives in Los Angeles where he is at work on his next project.

Tee-Morris

Author and Entertainer, Tee Morris, is Back!
Tee joins me to discuss today's release of the 4th Edition of his book, Podcasting For Dummies. He drops ridiculous amounts of wisdom on how to start a podcast, the best ways to get sponsors, and grow your show into what you dream it to be.
If you've ever wanted to start or grow your own podcast, this episode is must listen.
He's also darned entertaining to listen to so you'll have a blast with this in-depth chat with a terrific creative and genuinely wonderful man.
More about Tee.
Tee Morris has been writing science fiction, fantasy, horror, and non-fiction for over a decade. His first novel, MOREVI: The Chronicles of Rafe & Askana, became the first novel to be podcast in its entirety, ushering in a new age for authors — podcasting. He went on with Evo Terra to write Podcasting for Dummies (as well as the following editions alongside Chuck Tomasi). In 2011, Tee returned to fiction with the Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences series, penned with his wife, Pip Ballantine. And somewhere in the middle of all this, Tee and Pip have released the second edition of Social Media for Writers. It’s not only been updated for new platforms that are available, but they also delve deeply into crisis management for writers. Tee and Pip also host The Shared Desk, a podcast covering collaboration and other aspects of a writer’s lifestyle. He enjoys a writer’s life in Virginia alongside Pip, his daughter, and three cats.
