My conversation this week is again with Bill O'Hanlon, but in a very different way. Today's conversation is all about music in general and songwriting in particular. Bill has written 40 books and is about to publish his 41st. But he likes to say that he's left his old life - of being a therapist and teacher of therapy - behind and is now deeply involved in the art and craft of songwriting. He lives at least part of each year in Nashville Tennessee, and has written approximately 1400 songs so far. Some of them already picked up and recorded by other artists and also for use on television. If you want to hear some of them here are some links: * Bill playing some of his songs: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLonFVyNDRRzW1ZdJYcFmtZ0-rHFkNhBnc Here is a playlist of some of Bill's songs that have been recorded and released by other artists: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7Lvp3FShn1ld67QnfCV3aV?si=I1RZ5Q-wRvOaJBBydFk0zg

Our latest installment of the series of What I learned from Dave (Dr Dave Dobson) features my conversation with "repeat offenders" Mark Thomas and Drew Pearson. Drew Pearson is a retired fire test engineer. He studied with Dave for 7 years and went to his FUN SHOP ten times, 1994 to 2007. He describes how Dave's training deeply influenced the way he communicates with business associates, family and friends. Mark Thomas is also strongly influenced by the work of Dr. David Dobson's Other Than Conscious Communication (OTCC). In the 1980s, Mark provided his expertise to the national training team of best-selling author and motivational speaker Anthony Robbins. Mark and his wife, Reverend Elaine Thomas, began applying the accelerated learning tools of NLP to the teaching of spiritual development practices through their modeling course known as Spiritual Insight Training.  In 1988, Elaine and Mark founded Fellowships of the Spirit and its School of Spiritual Healing and Prophecy, which has continuously provided high quality educational programs for 35 years.
