  • From combat to camera: battles, badges, and big screens

    From combat to camera: battles, badges, and big screens
    2025/10/05
    Duane Michael’s life reads like a novel: from a tough childhood to being coached as a boy by none other than Frank Sinatra, to serving in combat with the U.S. Army, returning home to wear the badge as a police officer, and eventually stepping into the world of comedy, acting, and authorship. Along the way, he has collected a lifetime of stories that reveal the strength it takes to keep reinventing oneself. In this episode, we’ll discuss survival, transformation, and how storytelling can transform pain into power.Born in the mountainous city of South Lake Tahoe and raised up and down the California coast, Duane Michaels was always an entertainer. Formerly a radio DJ for four years at several stations, Duane later joined the Army, which allowed him to see the world. Soon after, he became a police officer, often performing stand-up comedy at open mics and local comedy clubs in his free time. Duane has since retired from law enforcement and is now focusing all his energy on acting.Follow Duane Michaels here:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1BJwPDb3tS/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/duane_michaels_72TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@duanemichaelsIMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13950531/#QuixoticHeights #PodcastLife #PodcastInterview #DuaneMichaels #Resilience #LifeStories #VeteranVoices #ActorLife #AuthorLife #Transformation #Storytelling #Courage #Reinvention #OvercomingAdversity

  • Phantom Roots: Storytelling through puppetry and film

    Phantom Roots: Storytelling through puppetry and film
    2025/09/28
    Filmmaker Erica Nguyen and her father, Duc Nguyen, are the dynamic duo behind the deeply personal and culturally resonant documentary, Phantom Roots—a film exploring identity, memory, and the invisible threads that tie generations together. We discuss their creative collaboration as father and daughter, the journey of uncovering family history, and the power of storytelling in reclaiming heritage. Whether you're a filmmaker, a storyteller, or someone reflecting on your own roots, we hope this conversation will vibrate your heartstrings.Erica Nguyen is a grassroots documentary filmmaker who collaborates in mutual self-study. Her scholastic background is based in Socio-cultural Anthropology, Ethnographic Field Work, and Sociolinguistics. As a Vietnamese American, her work centers on the outsider experience. To transcend otherness, Erica celebrates tactile forms of communication and locates sources of joy assites of catharsis. She completed her first feature film in 2020 (Peru), titled Tejiendo Sombras / Shadow Weavers, while doubling as a rock climbing instructor and therapeutic adventure facilitator. Her current project, Phantom Roots, explores everyday magic as an antidote to generational displacement within the Vietnamese diaspora. Erica envisions her creative practice as a bridge between experiential learning and regenerative storytelling.Duc Nguyen is a dedicated father who spent the last 40 years as an analogue microchip designer. He has served in founding, managing, and consulting positions for Qualcomm Inc., MicrochipFairchild Semi, Entropic Communications, Motorola, Valence Semiconductors Inc., Western Digital, Rockwell International Inc., and others.

  • Breaking out of burnout

    Breaking out of burnout
    2025/09/21

    Today’s Quixote is someone who embodies transformation and truth. Iona Rudisill is an author, a podcast host of IonaSpeaks about Soaring Courageously, and an executive life and health coach.

    Through her work, she helps people reclaim their voice, stand in their power, and transform pain into purpose.


    In this episode, we will explore what it means to defend your self-justice, live in alignment with your truth, and lead a life rooted in healing and wholeness.


    Iona (i-o-na) Rudisill is the #1 bestselling co-author of Phenomenal Women Who Boss Up and CEO of Iona R. Rudisill, LLC. She empowers high-achieving leaders in publicservice, experiencing burnout, to find a healthy balance in their lives.


    Iona has been a lifelong leader in the public sector, a survivor of a traumatic brain injury, and is thriving through her experiences with burnout. For three decades, Iona guided teams across the country that provided support to youth and families who had survived traumatic experiences. In 2018, she received a Governor’s Citation for advocating againsthuman trafficking in Maryland.

    These intense roles stimulated Iona, but also led to her burnout. She launched her business to build a community for other executives to explore their vulnerability and power as a strength. She partners with women across the globe, creating a positive ripple effect for their families and communities.

    She overcomes chronic pain by embodying a sense of worthiness. She uses these principles to guide high-achieving leaders in finding healing, clarity, and purpose. Rooted in her Shinnecock Indian heritage, she embraces the principle of Mamoweenene (We Move Together). This ancestral principle drives her to unite with others in breaking barriers and cultivating a legacy of strength, resilience, and triumph.

    Education

    Iona received her master’s degree in social work from Columbia University and her bachelor’s degree in rehabilitation education from Pennsylvania State University. She is presently enrolled in the #1 Health Coaching Certification Program in the world (Institute for Integrative Nutrition), class of 2025.
