Book 101 Review, now in its Fifth Season, features Kirk McCarley in an inspiring and reflective conversation centered on growth, purpose, and long-term impact. Known as The Seed Sower Coach, McCarley shares his philosophy of planting intentional “seeds” through mindset, values, and daily actions—trusting that meaningful results unfold over time through consistency and faith in the process. This episode explores how leadership, personal development, and transformation are cultivated not through instant outcomes, but through patience, service, and deliberate choice. McCarley’s insights encourage listeners to focus on who they are becoming, rather than chasing short-term validation, offering a grounded and hopeful framework for personal and professional growth. Thought-provoking and deeply affirming, this discussion invites listeners to reflect on the seeds they are sowing today—and the legacy they are shaping for tomorrow.

Susan MichelSpiritual Speaker, Author, Surrender to Joy: From Suicide to Serenity, 2 time suicide survivorWhen I was 20 years old, I tried to end my life twice. With 6 bottles of sleeping pills inside of me, as my mother drove me to the hospital, I realized I didn’t really want to die, I just wanted to kill the pain. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. I understand what their desperation feels like. What helped me was facing my pain and developing a spiritual practice based on A Course in Miracles. I’m Susan Michel, Author, Suicide Prevention Advocate, and 2-time suicide survivor.My book, Surrender to Joy: From Suicide to Serenity is about becoming aware of our unhealed pain so healing can occur. Our natural state is one of peace, love, joy, and happiness. However, in order to attain this state consistently, we need to become aware of the blocks to love that we have unconsciously created. As a young woman, I felt abandoned and betrayed by my dad and everyone else in my life. When I denied my unhealed pain, my uncomfortable feelings exacerbated. When I owned my pain, I began to heal. My joy was on the other side of all that pain. I found that the keys to true transformation are forgiveness and gratitude. My mission is to help others identify and process emotional pain so transformation can occur and they can grow and open up to their innate brilliance.
