From me, John Alan,

to my listeners and viewers:

I am a believer in \"Enlightenment Through Dialogue\". I carefully choose my guests for my show. I do this show because I am looking to learn from people who inspire me, motivate me, or teach me more about the wonders of life. This is my journey as I work to put myself in a better condition and position from which I can help others as well as myself.

Come on home, kick your feet up and join me.
