"Every Successful Story Begins with a Dream" with Guest, Educator and "Grill Culture" Master, Thierry Oliva

Should Have Listened to My Mother Podcast

Thierry mentions a number of times how his mom never complains, no matter what she's up against. He says she's really remarkable.

When he was a young boy, he told his mom that he was going to be the president of France one day and his mom was so proud and excited. She still to this day shows her support for her son and her daughter.

Leila has always been an inspiration to her son, including helping him complete his dream to come and live in the US, she's his "Culinary Inspiration," helped shape his life with the "Fusion of Cultures," and a dreamer.

"Mom was always open to the world," as she still is today says Thierry.

And while Thierry isn't grilling, he's a special needs teacher in CA. As a child he struggled in school. His teacher repeatedly wrote home saying, "Thierry is a smart child but lazy and often distracted." He's certain that he would have been diagnosed with ADD had those labels been in use back then. He has many fortunate students now.

Hope you enjoy the conversation.

"Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers and the roles they play in our lives. And my guests answer the question, 'are you who you are today because of, or in spite of, your mother'? You'll be amazed at what the responses are.

"Should Have Listened To My Mother" would not be possible without the generosity, sincerity and insight from my guests. In getting ready to launch my podcast, so many were willing to give their time and share their personal relationships with their mother.

Some of my guests include Baritone Singer Christopheren Nomura, Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist Tim Wacker, Activist Kim Miller, Freighter Sea Captain Terry Viscount, Film Production Manager Peg Robinson, Professor of Writing Montclair State University Dr. Bridget Brown, Tammy Steckler, attorney and family advocate @CUNY Law; NYC First Responder/NYC Firefighter Mark Heingartner, Child and Adult Special Needs Activist, Maryellen Valyo Cole and Roger Evens, Property Manager in New Jersey and so many more talented and insightful women and men.

I've worked in the broadcasting industry for over four decades. I've interviewed so many fascinating people including musicians, celebrities, authors, activists, entrepreneurs, politicians and more.

A big thank you goes to Ricky Soto, NYC based Graphic Designer, who created my logo for "Should Have Listened To My Mother".
