Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, you can find all of my podcasts in one location,
all seventeen of them. Sure. I love the platforms that
have been available all these years, but it's now time
to centralize it. Aero dot net, a r roe dot net,
and thank you so much for your support for all
these years. Missed Opportunity. I love sharing conversations. Hosting them

(00:20):
requires a lot of show prep. My podcasting platforms feature
thousands of guests, and what you don't have access to
are my missed opportunities. You know, the show prep. It
was completed, but the conversation didn't happen. I keep all
of my notes because I believe the paths will one
day cross again. Let me explain missed Opportunity. It's my
questions and statements without their answers. I'm leaving open up

(00:44):
enough space at the end of every question, hoping they'll
download the talk and insert their answers. Missed Opportunity is
a lost piece of history. It's like a message in
a bottle that's been tossed out to see I hope
to locate that destination. This week, we're putting our focus
on my missed Opportunity with motivational author and speaker Sean

(01:04):
Parnell Purple Heart recipient Sean Parnell, the man who once
led the most decorated unit in global war and terror.
This is big stuff. Shawn's legendary unit survived in Afghanistan.
It was the moments of nine to eleven that empowered
Sean to join the army and defend the United States

(01:25):
of America. During a single four hundred and eighty five
day deployment between two thousand and six and two thousand
and seven, only one member of Shawn's platoon lost their life,
but after coming home US men and women, they were
taking their lives. We read about this every day when
we're on social media. Post war was proving to be

(01:45):
the most dangerous, dangerous time for these US soldiers. Sean
Parnell's book is titled All Out War. It features Eric Steele,
an operative under the direct command of the President of
the United States. Now. Theation to share a conversation with
Sean arrived on August fourteenth, two thousand nineteen, and were
presently standing in twenty twenty five. It was at twelve

(02:08):
twenty seven pm one week later we were all set.
It would be a ten minute conversation set for September fifth,
twenty nineteen. At eleven twenty a m. Eastern September fifth,
twenty nineteen, our city was hit by a powerful tropical storm.
The conversation was recorded, but as we were closing out,

(02:29):
all of our power went out. The storm damage had
made its mark, and one of its victims was our conversation.
There was no way to recover it. The storm I'm
talking about was Hurricane Dorian, which had devastated the Bahamas
by September fifth, two thy nineteen. Dorian was moving north

(02:51):
along the US East coast as a Category two hurricane,
bringing strong winds, heavy rain, and storm surge to the
coastal Carolinas. The storm itself finally made landfall on September sixth,
twenty nineteen, near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Coming up next,
a different kind of missed opportunity. I've still got the questions,

(03:14):
but not the answers. Hey, thanks for coming back to
Missed Opportunity. This week, our focus is on my Missed
Opportunity with Sean Parnell, whose book was titled All Out War.
The terrorists in the story are Zakyev and Hussan Sida.
We're talking bombs here, dude coming up with that title

(03:37):
All Out War. I mean, this is an international style book.
We're talking about a crisis, and really, in all honesty,
it should be in theaters. It should be up on
that big screen so that we can talk more about
the safety of American freedom. We talked about this earlier
nine eleven changed a lot of people, including you. Not
too many people did what you did joining our US

(03:59):
forces and then to write about it in twenty nineteen.
This is a very tough subject. I mean, post war suicide.
It's very real, but a lot of people aren't taking
it up to the surface level to talk about it.
We need people like yourself to plant those seeds creating
the character Eric Steele. Did you know somebody like Eric

(04:22):
Steele before you pinned out this book? I mean, Eric
Steele is a truthful leader with no gray areas. Let's
talk about American war initiative. This is the real deal.
This is how you are changing people's lives. When you
bring history into a story like this, you are moving
things in forward emotion. Do you feel the fears? Are

(04:45):
they possible? Inside of you? As the author? You serve
this nation and now you're sharing the experiences by way
of paragraphs and sentences. What is your imagination going through
at this present moment. Now that the book is out
and we are reading your experiences, let's get back to Eric.
He makes a choice to return to serve the people.

(05:07):
Have you been in that position before? And there you
have it, my missed opportunity, a lost piece of history.
You now know the questions, so let's locate the answers
and the reactions. The door is always going to be open.
If you are or no Sean Parnell, please reach out
to me at erroc at gmail dot com. That's a R.

(05:29):
R o e c at gmail dot com, and as usual,
be brilliant

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
