David DeightonArtists Wear Many Hats: father, educator, and creative dedicated to active listening and bridging societal divides—using my work as a catalyst for transformative healingI am an artist, educator, a father, world traveler, French and American bi-national, political activist working on transformational experiences.I am motivated by engaging strangers in the spirit on connection. I'm focused on the taboo subject of politics but that word can be exchanged for a multitude of taboo subjects. I don't talk politics rather it's about healing community, bridging divides, transformation and exploring artistic expression.For the last 6 years I have been actively engaging with strangers in public spaces, asking them to talk to their political opponents, listen to them and find commonalities. So far all has gone well without confrontation.I've used a ton of gimmicks to invite strangers to speak to their political "enemies". I use interviews, wacky art installations, repurposed books and a bunch of my time to get people to reconcile their broken relationships and break down barriers with strangers. I try to get them to talk about the great taboo subject of politics and it works.I wish to share what I have discovered and also share stories from my hundreds of encounters, my multiple travels around the World and insights into humanity.I will invite your listeners to listen, actively listen to their political opposites. It's in listening that bridges can be built that strengthen the structures of our communities . We all have this solution at our disposal and my invitation will be to discuss it while also sharing stories from many of my offbeat experiences.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Michael BetlerOsteopath using hands-on and regenerative therapies to keep active bodies in motionHi, I’m Dr Mike, a double board-certified general surgeon and lifestyle medicine physician with certification in shockwave therapy. I've shifted from general surgery to lifestyle medicine and apply osteopathic principles to help motivated individuals stay motivated and stay or get active. I’m passionate about sports and regenerative medicine because I personally want to be able to move and function at a high level well into my older years. Over my life, I’ve played football, wrestled, threw shotput and javelin, soccer, baseball, deck hockey, golfed, and I work to stay fit with a combination of weight training, yoga, stretch, and jogging. My goal at CT Sports Recovery is to keep athletes of all ages able to participate in their chosen activity in full capacity and, if they are injured, get them back to play as fast as possible. We utilize realignment, dry needling, shockwave therapy, magnet therapy, PRP injections. I’ve also added hormone and peptide therapy to our clinic. I provide hormone therapy through Marek Health where I’ve treated thousands of patients with hormone replacement and peptide therapy. I mix my experience with evidence-based therapies and apply that so my patients can be the best athlete they can be!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
