About the "Wake Up, Wise Up, Step Up" Podcast

by Narrated by Dr. Gruder's Google Assistant

There’s far more to life than the lyrics in John Cougar Mellencamp’s classic song, “The Ballad of Jack & Diane:” Life does NOT go on after the thrill of living is gone.

To live our lives at the level of our highest intentions, to reclaim and magnify our Thrill of Living, and to create the life we want and the world we want, we must stop living our lives at the level of our self-development limitations and special interest mindjacking!

It’s time to wake up, wise up, and step up…

  • …As passionately committed citizens, leaders, change makers, executives, entrepreneurs, and helping professionals…
  • …Who lovingly live our authentic purpose…
  • …Without sacrificing our personal wellbeing, cherished relationships, financial enoughness, social responsibility, or connection with Source.

The 2020s Decade Is Our Time To:

  • Wake Up to the hidden life-draining spells that are harming us as individuals and as a society.
  • Wise Up to the freedom we need for successfully pursuing happiness as self-responsible individuals and socially responsible citizens.
  • Step Up to new levels of personal power and positive impact so we can co-create the kind of world we most want to live in.
In other words, now is YOUR time to fully Put Your Genius Where Your Dreams Are™. Use the Wake Up, Wise Up, Step Up Podcast as one of your valued resources for doing that.
