As a transformational executive coach, she has worked with corporate leaders and organizations across multiple industries, helping people become more effective while creating greater confidence, fulfillment, and peace in their lives.

What happens when the technology we depend on suddenly stops working? And could artificial intelligence make that nightmare more realistic than ever?
Returning guest John Mariotti joins Ric Bratton on This Week in America to discuss the third edition of his gripping techno-thriller, The Chinese Conspiracy, and why he believes its warnings about cyberattacks, technological dependence, and global security are more relevant today.
Originally conceived in 2000 and updated over the years, The Chinese Conspiracy follows Jim Martini, who returns to his West Virginia hometown to investigate the sudden collapse of a major employer. What begins as a personal investigation quickly becomes an international thriller involving hackers, malicious software, intelligence agencies, and a plot to cripple America's computer and communications systems.
Now, John has revisited the story again, adding an editor's epilogue exploring artificial intelligence and the potential consequences of increasingly powerful technology.
Is The Chinese Conspiracy simply an entertaining thriller, or a fictional warning about the technological challenges ahead?
A longtime business executive, author, consultant, and speaker, John previously served as President of Huffy Bicycles and Group President at Rubbermaid. His extensive business and technology experience informs his writing about leadership, innovation, and global challenges.
This Week in America with Ric Bratton is heard on more than 100 radio stations and podcast platforms worldwide.

What if refusing to forgive someone is actually hurting you more than the person who hurt you? Can holding onto anger, resentment, and betrayal keep us trapped in the past?
On This Week in America with Ric Bratton, author and retired Army veteran Maurice L. Brown joins us to discuss his powerful book, I'm Dying to Forgive You, an inspiring exploration of forgiveness, emotional healing, spiritual freedom, and the hidden consequences of holding onto pain.
Drawing on biblical teachings, personal experiences, and stories of transformation, Brown examines how unresolved hurt can create emotional strongholds that influence our thoughts, relationships, and everyday lives.
In this thought-provoking conversation, discover:
- Why refusing to forgive can hurt us more than the person who caused the pain.
- How past betrayals and emotional wounds continue to affect our lives.
- Why certain memories, songs, or experiences can unexpectedly trigger old feelings.
- The difference between forgiving someone and excusing their behavior.
- How faith and self-awareness can help us overcome resentment.
- Why forgiveness is essential to finding lasting peace and personal freedom.
A 27-year Army veteran with a degree in business administration, Brown has traveled extensively around the world, experiencing different cultures and developing a deep appreciation for human connection, unity, and personal growth.
His message is simple but powerful: Forgiveness doesn't mean the pain never happened. It means refusing to allow that pain to control your future.

From the "This Week in America Best Of Files"
Best selling author Roland Lazenby discusses his book "Michael Jordan: The Life".
For all his fame and glory on the court, MJ also has a dark side—that of a ruthless competitor and lover of high stakes. There hasn’t been a biography about Michael Jordan that fully encompassed the dual nature of his character and drew such a complete portrait of the superstar until now. MICHAEL JORDAN: The Life by Roland Lazenby (Little, Brown and Company; May 6, 2014) reveals the fullest, most compelling story of the man who is Michael Jordan.
Basketball journalist Roland Lazenby has spent almost thirty years covering MJ’s time in college and the NBA. His intimate access to Jordan’s coaches, friends, teammates, and family members provided him a truly well-rounded perspective of the man, the myth, and the legend. He witnessed Jordan’s growth from a skinny rookie to the instantly recognizable global ambassador for basketball he is today, and in MICHAEL JORDAN: The Life he pulls back the curtain on many lesser-known aspects of Jordan’s life.
Roland also is author of "The Life of Kobe Bryant" and "The Life of Earvin "Magic" Johnson".Episode 3838: The Great Little Book of Stress Release | Dr. R. Duncan Wallace on Reducing Stress Through Psychological Truths Weekend of 11-7 seg 2

Author Matt Shea joins Ric Bratton on This Week in America to discuss The Casino Down the Street, a book that combines Shea’s three-year study of casinos with his own personal experience of falling into gambling addiction and ultimately finding a way out.
Shea examines how casinos operate, the different types of gamblers, the warning signs of addiction, and the provocative question of whether casinos intentionally employ strategies that encourage patrons to keep gambling. He also explores why people in their retirement years may be especially valuable customers for casinos.
The conversation also goes beyond traditional casinos. With gambling increasingly available through phones and computers, Shea has written extensively about online gambling, its potential dangers, its effects on families and health, and the broader social consequences of gambling.
Most importantly, Matt brings a personal perspective to the subject. He began gambling despite his father’s warnings and says he eventually fell into addiction himself. Spiritual intervention helped him break the cycle, and those experiences became the foundation for The Casino Down the Street.
It’s a candid discussion about what happens behind the lights and excitement of the casino floor, how to recognize when gambling is becoming a problem, and why understanding the risks may help gamblers and the people who love them.
Matt Shea is a developing author, having published sixteen books. He is greatly inspired by the writings of Andy Griffith and focuses on the common folk that small towns are made of. He credits the success of his first book, “The Groundskeeper And Other Short Stories” to his family. The values that were instilled throughout his childhood gave him the strong sense of justice that is conveyed through his writings. The Shea family is only an average American family from an average neighborhood. Their secret was that they were close knit and accepted others.
