Season 2 Episode 4 - Reminders: A Conversation with Author Jermaine O'Connor

The Perspective Matters Podcast

As we continue to live through this new reality and find ways to cope, survive or even thrive; I am reminded that this will look very different for each of us. My coping skills will be far different from yours and that's ok! I move between wanting to reach out to my loved ones and wanting to be closed off from the world. What has been very helpful is the conversations I have with the people who are close to me; and this episode is one such conversation. My friend and colleague Jermaine O'Connor is a deep thinker and an author so I wanted to get his perspective on what this reality means to him; how he's coping and what words of wisdom he can share. He shared plenty! This is by far the longest episode and with good reason! We both drop gems and we experience Ah ha moments through out this conversation! It is my sincere hope that you walk away with a fresh perspective: on life, relationships, boundaries and what you place value on! If you feel better, are inspired to think differently and act differently, if you are motivated to have a new lease on life then Jermaine and I would have done our jobs! As I promised below are the links to his two amazing books! Reminder and Revelations: https://www.amazon.ca/Reminders-Revelations-Anthony-Jones/dp/1984174878 The Resolve: https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=the+resolve+Anthony+Jones&i=stripbooks&ref=nb_sb_noss If you are a lover of poetry, if you appreciate art, love to think, and question the meaning of life, if you want to be reminded of truths you have always known deep down and experience the revelation of ideas and truths that are buried in your soul then I encourage you to buy his two books. His first book is sharp and punchy! So brace yourselves because you will get some jabs to the chin and a few punches under your ribs!!! (But it is done with love and you will be a better person for it). The resolve shows his growth and he is kinder with his exploration of modern themes and issues that we all grapple with! I am confident you will enjoy his books as much as I do! Thank you for your continued support and drop me a note at [e-mail] I would love to hear from you!!
