Scott Ryan, Author, Designer, Publisher

Publisher and author Scott Ryan is like Google when it comes to TV and film. He knows the genres intimately, and has written niche books about everything from Letterman to Streisand. Today, he joins us to discuss his latest book, “The Last Days Of Cinema,” which is a brilliant look at cinema in the 90’s and the impact those films had on pop culture at the time and in retrospect, today.

Scott selected twenty-five films to for his book from thousands made in the 1990’s, from Goodfellas to Magnolia and so many others classics, and he was very strategic in his selection. He’s analyzed how films of the 90s shaped our culture, which was the last decade before social media took over and influenced millions.

Having just returned from the #VeniceFilmFestival, I saw some magnificent films, but I’ll admit there’s a difference between films today and 30 years ago. I’ll ask him about that, perhaps it’s because of streaming, with less people collectively going to the movies?

Scott has written many books including “Last Days of Letterman,” “Barbra Streisand The Music,” “Moonlighting,” and others that capture a moment in our culture that we all shared. Now, it’s different, not better or worse, but just different. And it’s not going back.

Scott is also a publisher and founded Fayetteville Mafia Press, a boutique publishing company. He admits he’s “living his dream” through his work, and where he lives in Sarasota, Florida, which I also call home (part time). There’s a lot to talk about.

Debra Mark, News Anchor & Voiceover Talent

Please welcome to our show a voice you know well, award-winning newscaster @DebraMark from @KFIam640’s @JohnKobyltShow, joining us today not to tell someone else’s story, but her own. It’s a very personal story, one she wants to share for #SuicidePreventionMonth.

Most of us who know Debra would describe her as cheerful and always positive. She grew up in the Valley, her parents divorced when she was young, and she worked hard to make it in the news business. She is also married with two grown children. But twenty years ago, her life came to a hault when she got an email from her mother, saying Debra and everyone in the family would be better off without her.

That was the last time she ever heard from her mom. In fact, it was Debra who found her mother. The story she tells is terribly sad and tragic, because no one saw it coming. So she wants to shine a spotlight on this serious mental health issue for anyone else out there going through something similar, or thinking about it.

Please join us on this special addition of #DeborahKobyltLIVE on all video and audio podcast platforms. And invite any family and friends, too. I’m your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and I’m honored to have you with us

Paul D. Corona, MD, Author, “The Corona Protocol” Solutions to Stop Addiction and More

For anyone feeling not quite like themselves, I invite you to our show today as we speak with Paul D. Corona, M.D., who will discuss healing from so many issues plaguing our society from depression to addiction, bullying, homelessness and more.

Dr. Corona authored “The Corona Protocol” after years of research connecting the mind and body with well being. He’s helped thousands with his programs, and said he switched from general practice medicine years ago because he felt it didn’t feel traditional medicine was addressing a variety of mental health issues effecting much of society with today.

Please join me with Dr. Corona as we discuss, “The Corona Protocol: A Scientifically Proven Medical Solution to STOP Addiction, Bullying, Homelessness, School Shootings and Suicide, 30 years in the making” on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, and invite your friends, too. I’m your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it’s my pleasure to welcome you here.

David Kessler, Grief Specialist & Author, “Finding Meaning: The SIXTH STAGE of GRIEF”

Please welcome to our show David Kessler, a leading expert on grief and loss, who will be discussing the different stages of grief along with his book, “Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief.”

Like most people, I’ve had my fair share of grief, and it rocked me in way I could barely recognize myself. I can say I wish I was introduced to David sooner, but everything has a place and time.

David’s personal experience as a child witnessing a mass shooting while his mother was dying undoubtedly had a profound effect on him. He went on to teach physicians, police officers, and first responders about grief and how to best handle grief. But he wasn’t prepared for what followed, which was the untimely death of his 21-year-old son. That profound grief prompted him to write his latest book, “Finding Meaning,” which has helped thousands do the same. Also, grief extends beyond death. It includes the loss of a relationship, job, or something of meaning that extends to loss. He will talk about that, too.

Please join me in welcoming David on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, and invite your friends, too, particularly anyone who is grieving. I’m your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it’s my pleasure to welcome you here.
