Reena loves a story, and she‘s fascinated by the people behind them. She loves to bring stories to life. Her appetite for storytelling has taken her from the Jerry Springer Show to the legal drama of the courtroom. From influential players to reality stars, nothing is censored here. Reena interviews people whose stories haven‘t been told, at least not through her unique lens, and then gets daddy‘s advice afterward like a good daughter does. Whether you have daddy issues or a father who‘s inspired your path, you will be able to tap into my daddy‘s wisdom, wit, and humor at the end of every episode. My daddy has been a guiding light my whole life and there‘s not much he doesn‘t know, as an entrepreneur for forty-plus years, a husband, a loyal son, and my number one supporter. He has learned lots of life lessons along the way and is here to share them with you. It‘s time to reminisce and reflect on the conversations you‘d like to have with your daddy and learn from mine. Come share in some good old-fashioned family bonding and help us up our wisdom rating. There is wisdom from four generations and I’m addressing what happens from childhood to adulthood!

Want to be crazy? Go live your life! That was the message Pixie got from her parents! Pixie became independent when she got pregnant and became a mother. She's now a podcaster, entertainer, content creator, Twitter #spaceshost, Hostess of Project Podcast with Pixie, and Next On Stage One. Twenty three years in the adult entertainment industry she's got lots of wild shenanigans to talk about from her past. Today we are busting hot button topics.
Things that are adult should stay adult! You have to have boundaries! No touchy no touchy! Dancing is time for money! I'm never going to show my daughter how to twerk! Sex education needs to be taught with the consent of parents. Education should come from home and be backed by the school. Gotta break down barriers and give kids advice at their level. Pixie didn't learn sex ed from her parents and many don't. Sex can be scary! Better Call Daddy: The Space For Controversy.
Today we are talking about how to think about your podcast as a business. You need to have a trajectory for your show, an elevator pitch, does this fit your brand? It's not just creating, you need boundaries, or it's chaos.

197. Can marijuana kill? Laura Stack
Friday Jan 21, 2022
Friday Jan 21, 2022
Laura had all of the tools she needed to do a 180 from her keynote speaking on productivity and apply it to youth substance abuse. She’s like the Mothers Against Drunk Driving for marijuana! We don’t know all the science as parents! It’s not the same marijuana our parents used to smoke! Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy!
Laura Stack is Johnny Stack’s mom and the Founder & CEO of Johnny’s Ambassadors. In the business world, Laura was better known by her professional moniker, The Productivity Pro®. She is a Hall-of-Fame Speaker and corporate spokesperson for many major brands. Laura is a bestselling author of eight books on productivity and performance topics with a large social media following, and she has given keynote speeches and training seminars to major corporate, association, and government audiences for over 30 years.
On November 20, 2019, Laura suddenly acquired the undesired wisdom of knowing what it’s like to lose one’s child, when her 19-year-old son, Johnny, died by suicide. He became psychotic after dabbing high- potency marijuana concentrates and thought the mob was after him.
Laura’s world took a 180. She filed for and received 501c3 nonprofit status for Johnny’s Ambassadors, Inc., with the mission to educate parents and teens about the dangers of today’s high-THC marijuana on adolescent brain development, mental illness, and suicide. She wrote the blockbuster book, The Dangerous Truth About Today’s Marijuana: Johnny Stack’s Life and Death Story, with 300 pages about what happened. Described as a woman with unstoppable drive and unwavering purpose, Laura hopes to help other parents, grandparents, teachers (and frankly all adults with teens in their lives) by honestly and boldly sharing Johnny’s story of his high-potency marijuana use, psychosis, and suicide.
The devastating loss of her child gives Laura a powerful voice and a platform for change. Laura sees it as her responsibility to share Johnny's warning to prevent other families from having to go through what she did and save other young lives.
Laura’s platform now brings marijuana education, awareness, and prevention curriculum around the U.S. to raise awareness of THC use, mental illness, and suicide. She presents live and virtual keynotes, breakout sessions, and training for parents, teens, schools, healthcare, anti-drug coalitions, community- based prevention organizations, corporate wellness programs, and government agencies.
Laura is the recipient of the Drug-Free America Foundation’s Moxie Award for protecting youth from substances, as well as the Leadership in Advocacy Award from the National Speakers Association. By sharing Johnny’s own warning about marijuana, Laura is determined to start a movement to bring teen marijuana use, mental illness, and suicide into the spotlight and get them to #StopDabbing.
Laura lives with her husband near Denver, Colorado and has two surviving adult children, ages 26 and 20.
“Forge ahead despite your pain and give meaning to your loss.” – Laura Stack

196. Is it my fault? Alana Sharps
Monday Jan 17, 2022
Monday Jan 17, 2022
We have so much more power than we realize! We can choose what we believe and what we take on! Sometimes we give other people’s perceptions of us too much weight! You are not crazy! You don’t have to repeat generational patterns! You can get brave and liberate yourself from abuse! We don’t have to stay hurt, we can move forward and live an abundant life! Today Alana Sharps is speaking out against narcissism and breaking free from shame! Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy!
Alana Sharps is a multi-talented Business Strategist, Thought Leader, and Author. She is a graduate of North Carolina State University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and a certified Six Sigma enthusiast in process improvement. She has coached C-Suite executives through continuous improvement processes that aligned with business strategies, increased operational efficiencies, and yielded millions in corporate-wide cost savings.
Alana is also a survivor of a toxic marriage tangled in narcissistic abuse. As a result, she decided to pivot her technical expertise to a proven methodology for helping others overcome similar struggles. She is now a Certified High Conflict Divorce and Child Custody Consultant focusing on helping women get through the battle of post-separation abuse.
Battling a narcissist in family court is not an easy task and requires a unique skill set. Alana effectively prepares her clients for their tense legal battles with individuals who refuse to negotiate or collaborate. She does this by coaching through the four pillars of mindset growth, self-care, communication strategies, and evidentiary documentation techniques.
Alana’s journey from victim to survivor inspired her to make this type of support her life’s work. She has courageously captured her story of survival and resilience in her life-changing book “Was it My Fault?”. Her hope is that her clients and others will survive and thrive beyond their expectations.
When taking a pause from her passion to empower survivors, Alana serves the community in several non-profits. She is a board member for Time4Change of NC, a mentor for women in the HER Foundation, and a member of the National Society of Black Engineers. Alana is also the mother of three and resides in Raleigh, NC with her children and two dogs.

193. Poway Protector Oscar Stewart Reacts to Synagogue Shooter‘s Sentence
Friday Jan 07, 2022
Friday Jan 07, 2022
Today's episode is a re-broadcast of the live interview I did with army veteran Oscar Stewart, the Protector of Poway Chabad at a Shul Safety Team Officer event in Chicago sponsored by the Concerned Citizen's League.
When the shooting started in Poway that Passover, chaos erupted, and human instincts kicked in. As an army veteran, he knew what he had to do, and didn't think twice. Oscar did two tours during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and his training prepared him as he ran into the line of fire.
Stewart emphasized the importance of training repeatedly until the responses to a situation become instinctual.
"Whatever it was that moved through him at that moment, it propelled Stewart into the lobby. He saw the young man — who authorities say was 19-year-old John T. Earnest — in a military-style vest wielding a semiautomatic rifle."
“Get down!” Stewart yelled in the loudest tenor he could muster.
The gunman fired two more rounds in response.
“I’m going to kill you,” Stewart boomed. This seemed to rattle Earnest, who began to flee. Fight like you train today of the Better Call Daddy Show: The Safe Space For Controversy! Violence and anti-semitism is unacceptable and effects the entire community!
