Every once in a while you have to throwback to a certain time in your life. I had the honor and privilege of doing that with Jerrel Beal My guest on The Troy McDonald show this week. Jerrel was my first ever co-host on "The CrossFace" a talk show dedicated to professional wrestling that we produced. The CrossFace ended three years ago and it's been a wild ride ever since. It was nice seeing Jerrel all these years later and looking back at such a great time in our lives.

It's with great pleasure that I can announce an exciting interview with Craig Culver the CEO of Culvers on The Troy McDonald Show! Craig Culver worked his way up the ranks and is one of the most famous CEO's in the world. He founded Culvers and never looked back. Its amazing what a beloved recipe can do to change so many lives. More details to come. Welcome to Delicious!
I believe that in order to live a complete life one must have a spiritual connection to something greater than yourself. For some that might be a Porsche car, and for others it could be a belief in Jesus. For Keith Bell, its obviously the latter. After years of struggling and going through rebellious teen years, Keith Bell reconnected his spiritual side and hasn't looked back since. As the Pastor of Divine Destinations Church, He leads his congregation to an understanding of the bible and themselves. Hope you'll join us for this enlightening conversation.

Until now. Ray Misner and I sat down recently in a No-Holds Bared two part interview that will get you talking. He talks exclusively about his final days in office, the controversies that plagued his career, and what he will do next in his life.

Zack W. Van's revealing tale of a young man reaching his potential through many obstacles epitomizes what the "The Troy McDonald Show" is all about. In his frank, honest portrayal of a gay teen , W. Van gives hope to those in need of inspiration. Its because of this that I have named "Inanimate Heroes" as our first ever "Favorite Thing". This is an important, informative read that I think will open your eyes and get you to think a little differently. You can purchase the book from the following outlets. The book will download on your e-reader, Kindle, and on iBooks

Can you believe it? One week of the Troy Show is already in the books! I learned something very valuable during this past week. In order for your life to be complete all parts of your life must be in sync. My show was consuming all other aspects of my life, including my school work. So I graciously requested that the show air Monday and Wednesday 5PM right here on thetroyshow.blogspot.com. I want to give WGTD and all the staff a big thank you for understanding my schedule. Stay tuned! We are only just beginning our journey together!

This was the list included in the show today The start of LifeSync. It is a great read! 

http://www.beliefnet.com/wellness/2009/04/10-Ways-Giving-Back-Helps-You.aspx?p=2

A lot of you are wondering why I started this show. LifeSync answers some of those questions. LifeSync dares us to explore the three most important aspects of lives; our community, professional, and personal lives. I am not an "expert".  We all struggle answering the same questions. How can I give back to the community? Why should I? How can I get up everyday and enjoy what I do? How can I treat others around me the way they deserve? I document my struggles as I try to become the best person I can be. Hopefully by sharing my journey. You'll become inspired to find your true self!
