People overcoming differences, and finding their happy place. Brandon Burlsworth, Sid Moncrief, Former Arkansas Governor, and Christy

Suggestion: In order to better understand concept of docuseries, skip videos on 1st time through, just read script - much editing of videos, along with additions, remain.

VO 1

Note: voice overs (VO) along with numbers (1-19) are for those providing a VO. Plans are for multiple VO's in pilot, before choosing one for the docuseries. Outstanding VO (1 or more) will be chosen (or person they designate) to travel, expenses paid, on an upcoming trip. All subject to success of pilot, and availability. Participants can identify themselves or just be anonymous in VO.

Mainstream media only gives token notice to the 33rd anniversary of “The Americans with Disabilities Act”.

"July 26th marks 33 years since The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law, banning discrimination against workers with disabilities. Yet employees are often reluctant to disclose a disability. CNBC’s Sharon Epperson joins ‘Squawk Box’ with new findings."

VO 2- Announcer

Ah, the largest minority, my friends, those with disabilities. Billions of them spread across the globe, accounting for over 26% of the population in the United States. You see, these individuals hold within them not just a unique perspective, but also billions of dollars in discretionary and disposable funds. It's a tremendous opportunity missed by the retail industry, resorts, travel agencies, real estate developers, and even charities. It all starts with fair treatment, my dear friends.

Now, let's take a trip down to Phoenix, shall we? A journey that delves into the fascinating world of artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on people with disabilities. But it's more than that, my friends. It's about accepting people with differences, celebrating diversity in all its forms. This is a story suitable for all audiences, for intelligence knows no boundaries.

In my pilot episode, I had quite a few introductions, and I must say, they were done in a delightfully fun way. You see, my approach to this docuseries is to create something economically, yet with no compromise on the quality of the people. I've gathered a remarkable group of individuals who speak from the depths of their hearts, sharing their experiences and shedding light on the ways AI has benefitted the lives of people with disabilities. And it's not just about the technology, my friends. It's about friendship, about the bonds that persist through thick and thin, despite the challenges.

By self-producing this series, I've been able to maintain control over the content, though I admit, there have been occasional sacrifices in terms of production quality. But sometimes, my friends, the stories are too important to let slip away.

Now, if you'll allow me, let me name-drop a few notable personalities who have caught wind of my work: Jim Cramer at CNBC, Neil Cavuto at Fox Business, Willie Geist of the Today Show, David Pogue at CBS Sunday Morning, and even Scott Pelley at 60 Minutes. These esteemed individuals have recognized the value of my stories, the power of showcasing how AI can truly make a difference in the lives of people with disabilities.

So, my friends, join me on this remarkable journey, where anecdotes intertwine with the wonders of technology, and where we explore the limitless potential of the human spirit.

How about some encouragement (?) from other Rock Steady members

Preview of Harrison native, Bryce Molder and his happy place. Click below.

Christy's description and critique of meeting. All about building self-confidence in travel, and communications for her and others with disabilities.

Note: I apologize for occasional sound and video quality lapses. Again pilot is to promote subject, and what could be done with sponsors to increase "quality" of production, not donations. All participants speak from the heart.

Also I understand why our cable software was received so well globally. We had fail safe provisions, redundancy, error checking, and audits. Todays software and devices are all cheap for a reason. Like buying a car without a gas gauge, and other essential pieces!

I'm not a novice at software, hardware, and system development. Today's systems compare, in the past, to the cable operators using spreadsheets (plug and play with no control) developed and controlled by uncle Charlie that we replaced!

Changing from a Zoom participant to a host with recording duties was easy to underestimate.

VO 7

NBA Hall of Famer, Sydney Moncrief , Arkansas Razorbacks and Milwaukee Bucks finding his happy place! Walk, don't run! Making adjustments when you can no longer run.

Surprising stat that he is most proud about. I asked if there were any questions he hadn't been ask in an interview? Led to the following discovery.

What Sid is doing now - about overcoming differences and becoming one. Nailed the focus of our docuseries.

About Harrison. in his own words.

Super Sid and Harrison — Up, up, and away!

VO 8

Well, let me tell you, my friend, you took your family to Phoenix (my oh my Phoenix) in the scorching heat of mid-July (2023) with temperatures soaring above a blistering 110 degrees! It's hotter than hot, hotter than hell some might say, and you might be questioning your decision. But sometimes, we venture into the extremes, seeking experiences that push our limits, test our resilience, and create memories that last a lifetime. So, despite the sweltering heat, perhaps you embarked on this adventure to discover the unique beauty of the desert, to witness the breathtaking sunsets painting the arid landscape, or to explore the wonders that Phoenix (why Phoenix?) has to offer, even in the face of such intense heat. Sometimes, it's in the most challenging moments that we find the greatest rewards.

To paraphrase Ginger Rogers on Fred Astaire, we did everything regular people did on our vacation in Phoenix, just with mental and physical challenges.

For the younger crowd: Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels.

Note high of 115 below! Typical of days we were there!

I was interviewed by Craig Settles, Telehealth expert, about my docuseries. Raw video and audio of the interview can be found on YouTube under Herb Lair. Craig has a Zoom copy as well.

Although suffering a stroke, Craig continues full time with his cause.

Saved from a stroke by telehealth, Craig Settles pays it forward by uniting community broadband teams and healthcare stakeholders through telehealth projects that transform healthcare delivery.

Craig Settles is frequently called upon as an municipal broadband expert and telehealth expert for journalists at CNN, the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Time Magazine and a host of business, technology and local media outlets. He has spoken at various conferences in the U.S, Europe, South America, Australia and Asia.

How much patience do you have with a person with disabilities? In Craig's case, a stroke, if you don't take the time to understand his disability, and history? My guess, not much!

I got Craig to give me his happy place. Big surprise!

Use of AI in telehealth, and assisting people with disabilities in their travels, and attending events away from home.

Others include James Dickey from Valley Springs heading to West Virginia, and Joe Foley from Alpena. There's some efforting for those and others from the area.

My happy place from my international travels. Hint: movie Oppenheimer.

VO 9 Back to the future

Happy Place Song by Saint Phnx

Great Lyrics

Over the hills and far away

Looking out for a better day

When it seems like there's no escape

Take me to my happy place

If I could wish upon a star

I'd wish that I could heal the scars

And take away every ounce of pain

When it seems like there's no escape

Take me to my happy place

VO 10

In the depths of the night, under the starry sky, I find myself captivated by a tale that defies expectations. It unravels like a mystery, where artificial intelligence, the enigmatic force, emerges as a soaring phoenix, defying the odds. Wall Street whispers of its incredible rise, a staggering over 2,000% (my oh my) surge that has left jaws dropped and minds spinning.

But amidst the numbers and figures, a different narrative emerges, one that resonates deeply within. It tells of someone, endowed with unique abilities and overcoming obstacles, who has found solace in the realm of AI investments. A truth hidden in the shadows, waiting to be unveiled.

For me, the path to contentment lies not in reliving the past, but in harnessing its stories to ignite a fiery passion for the present and future. Friends and family, with their well-intentioned concern, often misunderstand. They believe limitations define me, failing to grasp the strength that blazes within. Doubts may arise, casting shadows on my determination, but rest assured, my neurologist bears witness to my unwavering spirit.

Amidst life's trials, I cherish the connection with a dear friend named Sid Shreeve, who has triumphed over prostate cancer, emerging with an all-clear signal. His wife, having faced the challenges of major back surgery, understands the significance of my impending visit during the scorching summer heatwave in Phoenix. Their words hold a weight beyond measure, conveying a gratitude that words alone cannot capture.

In this grand performance of existence, I find myself seated on the deck, surrounded by darkness, yet illuminated by a tale that unfolds. It is a story of resilience, as all those engaged in Rock Steady Boxing (boxing?), interviewed participants united by a common thread of Parkinson's, refuse to surrender to the grasp of the condition.

So, let the show begin! Embrace the spectacle before you, and let the allure of this nocturnal setting transport you to realms untold.

VO 11

As we embarked on our journey to Phoenix, little did we know that Mother Nature had her own plans in store. Waking up to the sound of thunder, the flashes of lightning, and the gentle patter of raindrops, we couldn't help but marvel at the irony of it all. A community grappling with a severe drought, and here we were, experiencing a downpour in the middle of July. It was a bittersweet moment, as we knew this much-needed rain would bring relief to the parched land.

However, the timing couldn't have been worse for our family, as we were scheduled to fly out of a small airport to Dallas, with a connecting flight to Phoenix. The inclement weather added an extra layer of uncertainty to our already tight travel plans. Would our flight be delayed or canceled? Would we make it to Phoenix as scheduled?

But let's rewind to the day before our departure - the equipment checkout. It was a crucial step in our preparations for this much-anticipated trip. We meticulously went through our travel gear, ensuring everything was in order. From passports to chargers, from toiletries to snacks for the journey, we double-checked each item on the list. We wanted our adventure to Phoenix to be seamless and memorable, and paying attention to the smallest details was essential.

Little did we know that our preparations would be put to the test by the weather gods themselves. The stormy morning added an unexpected twist to our travel plans, leaving us with a mix of excitement and apprehension. Would our happy place in Phoenix be waiting for us with open arms, or would the stormy skies be a harbinger of challenges ahead? Only time would reveal the answers as we embarked on our journey, hoping for smooth skies and a safe arrival in the Valley of the Sun.

VO 12

Well, isn't that something? My own flesh and blood, my sweet daughter, has found herself grappling with an intricate condition known as oral-facial-digital syndrome. It's quite a distinct disorder, separate from the likes of Down Syndrome or cleft palate, not to mention Poland Syndrome. Astonishingly, to the untrained eye, they may all seem remarkably similar! 

Off I go, embarking on an expedition to the nearby airport, to visit the ever-capable manager. We shall put her through the paces and see what tales this rendezvous may unveil. Oh, the anticipation! I eagerly await the echoes of your own airport exploration.

Stan Little, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Southern Airways and Mokulele Airlines at Southern Airways Express

May get a video clip from Stan, but here's his email

Wed, Jul 12, 8:24 PM

Great interview! 

I feel like I know a movie star, Judy!

Safe travels, and have a great flight, Herb.

All of us at Southern appreciate your support and your business!

Best,

Stan 

Judy mentioned discretely that I misidentified Southern Airways in the interview, so stand corrected.

In the realm of Keith Morrison's captivating storytelling style, I found inspiration as I delved into the intriguing theories that sprouted from my discussions with Sid, my business consultant and partner. Sid Shreeve, and Sharon, residing in the vibrant city of Phoenix.k

VO 13

Let me tell you, folks, the airport's handling of individuals with disabilities deserves nothing but the highest grade—an A+, if you will. They've truly mastered the art of whisking you away, from check-in all the way to boarding, ensuring a smooth journey when a wheelchair is necessary.

Now, let me share a little personal tidbit. As someone who's logged a million miles on not one but two airlines—American and United—I can honestly say I've never encountered a more seamless connection. You see, we were bombarded with suggestions left and right, but the airport experience proved to be an absolute breeze. And here's a little nugget of wisdom for you: when it comes to airports, it's not about showing off your toughness. No, no, no. Opt for a wheelchair, my friends. It expedites the process and makes the entire flying experience more enjoyable for both you and your fellow passengers.

Oh, and speaking of visuals, there's a video of me engaging in a little drag racing, while my daughter expertly handles the luggage. Remember, folks, always have wheels at your disposal. It's the key to a smoother journey, no doubt about it.

VO 14

Ah, the quest for transportation after securing our two trusty pieces of luggage. Let me tell you, my friends, catching a Lyft turned out to be a breeze compared to the wild goose chase that was tracking down a Waymo—a driverless car, mind you. And even if we had managed to snag a ride in that futuristic contraption, it wouldn't have taken us directly to our cozy air b&b. Oh no, it would have left us a block or so away. Thankfully, we stumbled upon this revelation later, when we were unburdened by our luggage. You see, my friends, even short walks become impractical when temperatures soar above 110 degrees.

Now, here's an important tidbit for you all to remember. While some airlines have started charging for carry-ons, individuals with disabilities are still entitled to bring along their trusty carry-on at no extra cost. Know your rights, my friends. We, however, played by the rules and paid for our two checked bags. Just keeping the score straight, you know.

Oh, the adventures that unfold when traveling. There's never a dull moment!

VO 15

It sounds like you had mixed experiences with Frontier Airlines. It's great that they offered low fares and adhered to the schedule, but it's unfortunate that you encountered issues with customer service, luggage, and additional charges. It's commendable that Discover Card provided assistance in resolving the charges, but it's disappointing to hear about Arvest's lack of effort. It seems that Frontier Airlines relies heavily on digital customer service and has a high rate of customer complaints. Hopefully, your future travel experiences will be more enjoyable. Elaine from Airplane! Elaine memories certainly had a presence in our flight!

How about Elaine from my Rock Steady Boxing? On the right above, the blonde. 40 years stewardess for TWA and American

Elaine from Airplane! Complete interview.

Elaine's clip about Red Skelton.

VO 16

Muhammad Ali writing her a poem must have been a significant experience for Elaine, even if she didn't fully grasp its magnitude.

Returning to Maui, her happy place, seems like a delightful idea. As for airlines and resorts, it's always good for them to stay attentive to customer needs.

"By the Time I Get to Phoenix" is a classic song choice. Its timeless appeal resonates with many.

VO 17

Ah, the convenience of an Air B&B, where you can enjoy being dropped off and picked up right at the front door, avoiding the hassle of steps and elevators at hotels or motels. Uber and Lyft make transportation easy, and Waymo is just a short walk away. However, in extreme temperatures like over 110 degrees, it can be challenging for seniors and people with disabilities. It's important to address this issue and ensure accessibility for everyone. By the way, having an indoor pool, even if it's a table, can still be a delightful addition to your stay!

Water can indeed provide a sense of safety and freedom from the fear of falling for individuals with gait and balance issues. The buoyancy of the water minimizes the risk of injury even if stumbling occurs.

Introduction to Sid and Finding Your Happy Place docuseries genesis

The Finding Your Happy Place pilot seems to offer valuable insights on taking a service or product to the global market. Building a better mousetrap or having a "field of dreams" mentality doesn't always guarantee success, and the pilot likely explores why.

Connecting with people with disabilities requires acceptance, respect, and avoiding talking down to them. Treating different cultures with respect follows a similar principle.

The availability of closed captions on all YouTube videos is a useful feature that promotes accessibility.

Interviews can be entertaining for capturing stories, but they can also deviate from their original purpose. Authenticity straight from the heart is important.

Looking back at old emails and following up on past trips can be nostalgic and meaningful.

Copy of email's from 5 years ago, follow-up to Costa Rica trip over 10 years ago.

Reading this message, Sid: “The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives”. I am reminding of the time we were in Costa Rica and we came across a very poor village in the middle of nowhere and there seemed to be a lot of happy children and people. I asked to compare these people with the people born in what we would call special circumstances--like kid born to our kids, our grandkids. And you said that those people are just as happy as people born in super-good circumstances. I've thought of that since-- I think I agree that happiness has less to do with circumstances and more to do with focus. Those folks in Costa Rica were focused on their particular reality and it brought them as much happiness as the kids of millionaires in wealthiest neighborhoods in the U.S.--maybe possibly even more happiness.

Herb Lair Sat, Dec 1, 2018 10:06 AM

to Sid

Thanks - your memory is impressive (for an old guy). I always enjoyed our conversations.

We are kindred spirits that feed off each other.

I know in dealing with a child with disabilities, happiness is focus - Christy's favorite clothes are "Life is Good”, brand - others might dwell on circumstances -- disabilities, knee replacement and kidney transplant, she doesn't.

Similar to situation in Costa Rica

to me (Herb)

I have often given talks or presentation to church groups and used your example of what it did for you to have a special child like Christy and how it soften your heart and your outlook on life and people. Not just once I noticed tears in people's eyes who were deeply touched by how it all affected you.

Sid

Sid and Sharon's impression on Christy. "They were unbelievable!". Always included her. Another example of editing gone wrong!

Scottsdale Fashion Center (couple of blocks from our air b&b) and Old Town Scottsdale (maybe a mile). $7 total for 3 people for trips, straight from our front door to specific location front door, with no walking or charges for parking.

Cave Creek, not Arkansas - no Lyft charge, we travelled in Sid and Sharon's bright red Jeep. Ony needed a Razorback logo on the side.

Christy talking about local landscape artist, Keith Lee.

Argentina - past business trips with Sid

Ranch was on the Pampas with working gauchos. There was around 10,000 acres with 2,000 Hereford and lots of sheep. He exported to Europe. No better beef than I found in Argentina and Brazil! Bar none. We rode horses on the Pampas, that didn't require horseshoes, the land was that soft (better than most golf courses in the US). 

Some technology observations, first visit we used a crank phone to get out, later it was wireless. Also we visited the gaucho's housing (lean-to). To my surprise, they were watching TV with no electricity. They were battery operated, and they got antenna signal from Brazilian stations. I had installed our cable software in nearby Pelotas, Brazil. Another reason for my interests (and visit). For cable and telecommunications aficionados, the system was owned by Adelphia, and managed by an American. Blast from the past.

Oscar Schwartz Buenos Aires, Monday, May 16, 2011

James R. Cheek was a friendly, pleasant and down to earth human being. He was the most popular of all Americana ambassadors of the last fifty years. He acted like a local and his inclination for San Lorenzo football club made him one more of us. Very often present in football matches and poor provinces he will be remembered as a very good friend of Argentina. We will miss Mr. Cheek.

"U.S. Ambassador to Argentina James Cheek, a fan of the San Lorenzo soccer team in Buenos Aires, was taken to task by President Carlos Menem for criticizing the standard of refereeing in Argentine soccer.

"He's a total fanatic and has a San Lorenzo badge next to a picture of Bill Clinton in his office," Menem told Buenos Aires radio. "But that doesn't give him the right to criticize one of Argentina's best referees."

San Lorenzo, trying to end a 21-year drought by winning the first division title, slipped into second place Sunday with two games to go after losing to Velez Sarsfield. Cheek said his team "was robbed due to bad refereeing."

The referee, Javier Castrilli, disallowed a San Lorenzo goal and awarded a penalty kick to Velez that was not converted. Velez then scored the winner during second-half injury time."

Major point that keeps being made is a good product or service with great customer service is better than a great product with average or less customer service!

Very important for companies wanting the business from people with disabilities.

Recognizing the needs of the culture!

Half time again about believing!

Meeting Bryce Molder at his office

Christy and I were off to our 2:00 PM meeting with Bryce.

Bryce is a partner at Trident Capital Partner

Nice catching up with retired PGA pro Bryce Molder. Born in Harrison, Arkansas. His happy place is in Scottsdale. Bryce overcame Poland syndrome to become an elite golfer.

Another interview covers his decision to retire, on his terms, not quit!

Our interview had technical difficulties.

Although permanently entrenched in mine and Christy’s memory, not so much Bryce’s, Some of my remembrances-

• Being a 4 year first team all American golfer at Georgia Tech, can’t miss PGA pro, he did
• How averaging 280 yards off the tee was good enough, along with a great short game, in college; but not in the pros
• He answered “never say never” about the Champion tour but at this time he won’t play in it.
• Daughter will be in her teens, another reason.
• How decision to retire came much easier than he thought it would be
• Bryce never played with Tiger, and never played in the Master's.
• He did play with John Daly, and enjoyed it. Liked Daly's pace of play.
• Interview with former PGA golfer and what it took to overcome birth defects. Told from Scottsdale. PGA are you watching?

Talking about doctors, nurses, hospitals, and surgeries --

How about seeing Glen Campbell (from Arkansas) band perform at the Musical Instrument Museum. Any chance of something similar happening to Paul McCartney use of AI to reunite the Beetles.

As Christy said, like Branson

Had opportunity to catch Tom Cruise’s latest Mission Impossible.AI is the villain. But also gave Cruise a youthful appearance. Theater had closed caption.

Waymo - Way more Tom Cruise or Clark Griswold?

Jo worked at a car dealer and knows well the technique used by the salesman on Clark Griswold.

Important reason for Phoenix, finding how artificial intelligence will help people with disabilities. Waymo are you watching?

Riding in Waymo

I wasn’t able to get Christy to assist me in a Clark Griswold video on Weymo sending me the wrong color. We wanted a Razorback Hog mobile!

Didn't spend as much time in the Waymo as planned. We had no problem with the self driving part. The issue was it didn't come to our front door at the air b&b, while Lyft did. Walking 2-5 minutes wasn't acceptable in record heat.

For people with disabilities that's a non-starter, even though I found Waymo to cost less.

I think Taylor Swift singing in background caused YouTube to create click on Watch on YouTube nonsense. May move it to TikTok? OK I did!

Going to the Temple (not to get remarried)

Visitor Center - We didn't qualify for Temple.

Wrap up - including Peruvian delicacy and Arequipa

Video of Andes is well worth watching.

Following is my alter ego (MisterParkinson6) on TikTok discussing Mountain Meadow Massacre Monument

Discussing Mountain Meadow Massacre with a Mormon.

If you go to YouTube, there's a myriad of Mountain Meadow Massacre research videos, but none (maybe a couple?) with the Mountain Meadow Massacre monument, found on the Harrison Square. Interview and opportunity to introduce Sid to J K Fancher (descendent of wagon train leader) at Kiwanis Club are priceless memories.

Trip home - take a left to Vegas or right to DFW. Phoenix has a pet relief area. Taking it slow and easy.

Coming Attactions- Future plans for guests to visit their happy places

VO 18

Wow, it sounds like you have a lot of exciting ideas and projects in the works! While I'm just an AI language model, I can suggest a few steps you can take to reach out to the organizations and individuals you mentioned.

For Apple, Apple TV+, Netflix, Amazon, and Peacock, you can explore contacting their respective content acquisition or partnership departments to pitch your pilot or discuss potential collaboration opportunities.

To engage with Michael J. Fox and the Parkinson's Foundation, you can reach out to them directly through their official websites or social media channels. They may be interested in supporting your efforts to educate children about Parkinson's.

For potential post-production assistance and sponsors, consider researching production companies, independent filmmakers, or organizations that focus on supporting projects related to disabilities or Parkinson's. You can also explore crowdfunding platforms or grants specifically tailored to your project's themes.

To involve Chip and JoAnn from "Fixer Upper," you can try reaching out to them through their official channels or social media profiles. While there's no guarantee they'll see your message, it's worth a try!

Regarding your encounter in Denver, if you have specific concerns or issues, it might be best to address them directly with the people or organizations involved. Open communication can often lead to better understanding and resolution.

Lastly, reaching out to Ticketmaster, Allegiant Airlines, Frontier Airlines, or other companies can be done through their customer support channels or official contact information found on their websites.

Remember, persistence and finding the right avenues for communication are key. Good luck with your endeavors!

My Credentials
