The Vipp Jaswal Report

Wayne Dyer said “when you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself”. Our guest, Vince Sicari -also known as Vince August- used to be a judge who was given the ultimatum between remaining a judge or following his lifelong passion of becoming a comedian. He chose to become a comedian and what followed was anything but funny. It’s ironic that in order to bring a smile and laughter to the masses that one has to endure personal sacrifice. The other irony is that going from judging others, he is now being judged himself. However, this is America and in this great country we are able to make such choices and have the freedom to do so. Or do we? Listen to his story: Download audio file (040314_VippJaswal_sicari.mp3)

Our guest is Sarah Jakes. Her journey of life has been one that has consisted of many detours along the way but she hasn’t lost track of her destination. Her new book “Lost and Found” is a biography, yet she is only 25. However, the book has a great story to tell. She was born into a household of a world famous mega-church pastor but became pregnant at the age of 14. She then rose above social adversity to becoming a businesswoman, an on-air TV personality, a writer, and having a blog that averages more than 15 million impressions per week.

He’s been featured on Fox Business, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes and his book has been personally endorsed by Joel Osteen. The book, ‘The People Factor’ takes a fresh and direct perspective on all relationships that have an impact on you and those around you.

What if the concept of the American Dream is flawed because it encourages us to achieve success but does not teach us how to overcome failure? What if you are so blinded by the pursuit of doing good for your loved ones that you ignore the evil that lurks around them? One of those evils could be drug addiction. It came as a great surprise to me when I explored the backgrounds of people recovering from addiction. They seem to come from the most normal households that symbolize the American Dream. I feel for these parents who work hard and mean well for their children and then see their hopes and aspirations for their kids crushed right in front of their own eyes. When faced with the reality of addiction, some parents become paralyzed because they never thought it could happen to them. Our guest’s story is an inspiring one of a young man who fell victim to drugs but eventually fought back and succeeded.

Our story today is one that is closer to home than you think. This is a story of a young woman’s journey into the depths of addiction. Addiction is one of those human conditions that has no boundaries. “Grace” is going to tell us what took her there, and how she managed to get out. It will make you feel fortunate for not having been through what she had to endure, but at the same time will make you feel vulnerable because she is just like you and I. So brace yourself for a story of hope through despair, and a battle of strength over weakness. Her story will grip you in many ways. Listen now! Download audio file (013014_VippJaswal_grace.mp3)
