Deborah Kobylt LIVE: Dannie De Novo, lawyer, author, and “happiness” coach

Meet Dannie De Novo, lawyer, author, and “happiness” coach, but I assure you, her road to happiness wasn’t paved with gold.

Dannie wrote “Get In A Good Mood & Stay There,” and “It’s All Gravy, Recipes for Happiness,” in addition to creating a successful coaching business on how to find your happy, which led to appearances on major TV Networks and shows. But life didn’t start out this way. Growing up in an Italian family in rural Pennsylvania, Dannie related more to her horses than people. Feeling out of sorts, she tried everything from pills to shock therapy to find her happy, but nothing worked, until she took matters into her own hands to find out what was truly the root cause of her terminal unhappiness. And she found it, and now helps others do the same.

Please join #DeborahKobyltLIVE and #LittleItalyPodcast on all audio and video platforms, and invite your friends to hear Dannie’s story as well. It’s a real shocker. Thanks for tuning in, as always. #DeborahZaraKobylt

Deborah Kobylt LIVE: Angela Yeoh

#MeToo became a well-known phrase after women came forward to report sexual harassment and mid treatment they endured in the movie industry, particularly, under the hand of one of the most powerful men in Hollywood, Harvey Weinstein.

Please join me as I interview actress Angela Yeoh, who gives a moving performance as Rowena Chiu, Harvey Weinstein’s former assistant, in the film, “She Said,” which chronicles the women who brought the film mogul down — and the journalists who told their story, from the abuses they endured, to NDA’s they were forced to sign, and hush money payments to keep them silent.

Please join #DeborahKobyltLIVE on ALL video and audio platforms, and invite your friends to participate in this interview as well. Thanks for tuning in, and remember to ALWAYS speak out. #DeborahZaraKobylt

Deborah Kobylt LIVE: Chritopher Radko

This is one of those feel-good holiday stories, and I’m pleased to welcome to our show, Christopher Radko, founder of HeARTfully Yours, a unique Christmas ornament company unlike any other. And it all started when his grandmother’s Christmas tree fell over, breaking her glass ornaments. Years later, Christopher decided to do something about it.

Christopher designs stunning holiday ornaments hand-crafted by glass, made by artisans in Poland and Ukraine. His designs have caught the eye of some of many notable celebs from Elton to Travolta, and dozens more. This year, some of the ornaments are being made in what’s left of the Ukrainian factories in that country, employing people and bringing hope there. It’s a beautiful story, and one that started when Christopher was a young boy, and he tells us about that, too.

Join us on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, and please invite your friends, too. I just love this story, and I’m excited to interview Christopher about his delightful company that brings hope and holiday cheer to so many.

Deborah Kobylt LIVE: Richard Lee Procter

Please join me in welcoming Richard Lee Procter, author, “SUGARBALL, A Novel of Negro Baseball League.” The book is based on a true story, and highlights the indignities many players endured in the Negro baseball league, and the history behind it.

This is fascinating account dating back to 1937, when the dictator of the Dominican Republic enlisted the greatest baseball players from the American Negro League, Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, and Cool Papa Bell, to represent his country in a national baseball tournament. The players quickly found themselves celebrated in a country with no race prejudice. What they couldn’t know is that they were pawns in a deadly, winner-take-all political game. The tale is told by the 12 year old bat boy who watched it all, based on a true story.

Thanks for joining us for this conversation with Richard, who said he’s been fascinated with this story since he was a young boy, and wanted to make sure to tell the story of these men, and all of the players who had to endure prejudice and mistreatment, and how they overcame it. Full interview LIVE on #DeborahKobyltLIVE on all video and audio platforms. Thanks for tuning in, and please invite your friends, too.
