    Jordan’s Rich Journey -516
    Nov 23 2025
    On recent podcasts, I have talked about the fact that I have Parkinson’s Disease. Close to 90,000 Americans are diagnosed very year with this neurological condition with no cure that affects everyone differently. It is referred to therefore as the “snowflake” disease. Right now I am doing well focusing on key elements such as exercise, diet, rest and medication to keep symptoms at bay. Is it tough? Surely. Have I been challenged to adjust to this new unwanted life? Of course. Despite the pain, fatigue and associated symptoms I’ve learned how to better cope physically and emotionally. And how to be grateful for what I do have. So when asked to be the subject of a book offering a bit of inspiration to those with the disease, I agreed after doubting I was the right subject. I’m very happy I said yes. It is an honor to announce the publication of a book, written by a longtime friend and colleague John DiCicco, Ph.D. and the late Robert Cuomo, Ph.D. entitled, “Jordan’s Rich Journey: A Path of Purpose, Strength, and Hope with Parkinson’s.” Proceeds will be donated to various charities funding research and care for PD. The book is available online with an easy link at www.jordanrich.com. For anyone facing an uphill struggle, and that is most of us, you are not alone. We’re in the fight together.

    George Howell -514
    Nov 16 2025
    Meet the man who helped revolutionize the coffee industry. For decades George Howell has been fine tuning the art of brewing a better cup of coffee. He was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Specialty Coffee Association of America in 1996, for having raised specialty coffee quality standards to a new level through his Massachusetts based company The Coffee Connection (1974 – 1994). He had grown The Coffee Connection into 24 company-owned stores in the Northeast, and sold his high-quality popular coffee company to Starbucks in 1994. He returned to coffee-traveling world-wide, and in 1997 worked on models of economic sustainability for coffee farmers under the United Nations and the International Coffee Organization. This led directly to the founding of the precedent-setting Cup Of Excellence program in 1999; it established the world’s first international estate coffee competition and international internet auction that mightily contributed to breaking the commodity/price cycle for craftsman farmers in the specialty coffee industry. And when it comes to the perfect cup, George is one person’s opinion you can value!
