Episode Description
Kathryn interviews Author Shaun Tomson.Veteran, world champion surfer Shaun Tomson—who is on most lists of The Top 10 Greatest Surfers of All Time shares with us his experience on overcoming life’s obstacles drawing on the pain of losing a child and the strengths he acquired becoming a sports leader. Along with co-writer Poet-Philosopher Noah benShea, he employs surfing as a metaphor to analyze 18 “breaking waves” of life, including loss, depression, aging and relationship changes. He also emphasizes the Code Method which stems from his decades of surfing experience and is a simple system to find purpose in everyday life. He's learned to “ride the waves” of daily existence and is eager to share the inspiring power he has gained on his personal path with others looking for ways to live better and get more out of life. Tomson launched The Surfer and the Sage on NBC’s Today Show in a Motivational Monday segment. He is a past board member of Surfrider Foundation and the Santa Barbara Boys & Girls Club. Kathryn also interviews Author Mark K. Shriver. In this lively, vibrant, and inspiring follow-up to the Christopher Award-winning book 10 Hidden Heroes, NY Times and Washington Post bestselling author Mark K. Shriver and his wife Jeanne help children learn about the power of numbers and how working together can make the world a better place. We are shown what makes math fun and meaningful by showing how our service to others multiplies when people pitch in together. The whimsical, rhyming text and colorful artwork from award-winning artist Laura Watson inspire discussion on such topics as friendship, leadership, and camaraderie while illustrating the basic concepts of multiplication. We learn how living a life in service of others provides children with a sense of purpose, increases their confidence, and builds strong, resilient communities. Shriver, former Maryland state legislator, is president of Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School and former president of Save the Children Action Network in Washington, D.C.
