  You may remember them from TLC's The Willis Family, America's Got Talent and the musical group The WIllis Clan. 
 


  Today Jennifer Willis talked with me about their upbringing, the music, the struggles, their strong faith and trying to put their family back together again after their father's 40 year jail conviction for raping his daughters. It was the 'family"  with the kids only feeling safe enough and strong to reveal the abuse as adults. 
 


  The Willis Clan, originally made up of a Christian family of 14 from Nashville, Tennessee, shot to fame through season 9 of "America's Got Talent." They were also featured in "The Willis Family" TV series on TLC between 2015 and 2016, before Toby Willis
  
   was arrested
  
  on charges of child rape.

Comedian Brad Williams Interactive Virtual Comedy Show On RUSH TIX Saturday Night

Just in time for Veteran's Day Sean Lake is paying tribute to his best friend and fallen Navy SEAL Glen “Bub” Doherty. Glen was one of the brave American men killed in the 2012 Benghazi Terror attacks; portrayed in 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, his name may already be familiar to you. You may also recognize it from the Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation, which provides scholarships and training to Special Operation individuals and their children to ease the transition from military to civilian life. 

Sean created BUBS Naturals with Co-Founder TJ Ferrara donating more than $100,000 to date to the Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation.

BUBS Naturals donates 10% of proceeds from every sale to the Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation, but on Veteran’s Day, the company donates 100% of proceeds. Glen gave his life for our country and the safety of others around the world… let’s keep his memory alive through photographs and the words of his best friend.

Sean Lake Pays Tribute To Fallen Navy Seal Glen "Bub" Doherty

Today my conversation was a fun and educational one! I talked with Professional Poker Player Amanda Botfeld. Her new book is A Girl's Guide To Poker. She talked about how when girls and boys grow up differently "traditionally"  girls are at a disadvantage when it comes to the game of life, negotiating and making decisions from having incomplete information.

Poker is usually thought of as a game dominated by male players – and when you look at who’s playing at the tables, it’s generally true. But it’s not just a game that teaches you how to play your cards – it also teaches valuable life skills. Strategic thinking, risk assessment, and, of course, developing more emotional and relational intelligence (body language, anyone?). These are skills that men learn when they’re taught how to play and grow as they spend more time at the tables, but more often than not, women are left out of these lessons. That exclusion leaves women at a disadvantage when it comes to applying these skills to their life, whether it be their careers, romantic relationships or anywhere else where they have to make judgement calls and quick decisions. 

Professional poker player Amanda Botfeld wrote ‘A Girl's Guide to Poker’ to help women learn how to play the actual game, as well as learn the life lessons that accompany proficiency at the table. She is also teaching women to play remotely via Zoom during this time.
