Episode Description
What would you do differently if your only way to get to the nearest town was to hire a float plane once or twice each year? You’d be surprised how much even city dwellers can benefit from knowing some of these answers. We are excited to welcome back Ron and Johanna Melchiore to dive deeper into their journey to becoming fully self-sufficient. From growing their own food, to generating income while living off the grid, to surviving not one, but two forest fires, they give us an inside look at where to begin, what skills need to be developed, some of the mistakes they’ve made, and what it’s really like to 100+ miles away from the nearest town. If you or someone you know is an author, musician, innovator or someone with a unique story who’s helping create a world that works for everyone, let us know! Visit www.RiseAndShineAsOne.com to contact us, and learn how we can help you reach our world-wide audience.
Rise ‘n Shine! Not Just for Mornings Anymore.
Tuesday at 12 Noon Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Variety Channel
Our program helps create a world that works for everyone by focusing on how to rise and shine as individuals each day. We strive to remember that there are no small acts, and all choices have ripple effects. To create lasting happiness, healthy families and a thriving planet, we must challenge pre-conceived thoughts, beliefs and habits, while cultivating deeper gratitude.
Throughout the show, we talk with authors, musicians and innovators. Some guests may remind you of things that you already know but appreciate hearing again. Others may stretch the limits of what you now consider reality, presenting the opportunity for growth and transformation.
All our guests have one thing in common though: like us, they are actively engaged in helping make the world a better place in their own unique ways. They’re taking risks, rising above the past, and shining their most authentic light to help create a world where even our grandchildren’s children can thrive.
Lori Anne Rising and “Uncle Mark” Olmstead
Since 2015, Lori Anne Rising and Uncle Mark Olmstead have been life partners in a quest to make a positive difference! Putting courage before comfort, and taking big risks to be true to their hearts, they are now sharing their mission of helping families rise and shine together.
Lori Anne is the international award-winning author of “You. Rising! Reclaim Your Life. Live Your Purpose.” This road map for women helps them shift from martyr to matriarch to live a healthier, happier, values-based life.

Uncle Mark is a singer/songwriter and International Best Indie Book Award-winning children’s author who’s performed on stages all over the world. His book, “The Adventures of The True Sunbeam,” is a delightful, universal story that reminds everyone’s inner child how to shine authentically and by using the book’s interactive activities, family relationships are strengthened, even across generations. Inspired early on by John Denver, Uncle Mark is committed to making a difference one song, and one story, at a time.
Together, Lori Anne and Uncle Mark are pursuing their dream of traveling, while lifting hearts and touching lives through words and music. Join them each week to discover new ways to “Rise ‘n Shine” in your own way, every day!
