He is an Internet radio talk host, interviewing Authors for the Author’s Voice, housed on the AuthorsRoost.com and Achieve Radio.com. Personally, Joe was born, bred and fed in Brooklyn, New York and with a name like Carroccio, you can bet on his heritage – Italian. He later raised his family, which included three children, in central New Jersey. Joe is an entrepreneur and has led a very versatile life. As an entertainer he began singing at the age of 16 due to the coaxing of his friend, Joey B. Joe, also is a self-taught bass player, who started at the age of 21, and has yet to put it to rest. His vocal style has earned him the title of the “Wedding Singer” (which is also the title of one of his future books). When the opportunity arises, he sings with Sun Lakes Big Band, a 15 piece “Glenn Miller” swing band in Arizona. In addition to Joe’s entertainment career, he has served as a PTA and Band Parent Officer, a Scoutmaster, a volunteer auxiliary police officer as well as a Civil Defense volunteer for Disaster Recovery. After many years of Distractions and Interruptions, Joe’s skills as an educator, trainer, speaker, author and entertainer inspired him to create, present and make known The Law of Distraction and InterruptionTM. 00:30:00Sabrina SumsionnoJoe Carroccio,marketing,authors roost,Good Life News,good time rockJoin me as I interview Joe Carroccio.

Lane’s website has now grown so much with many reviews. His idea was to share his thoughts and reviews on places he’d been to so kids and families can go to the site and check out the latest Kid Critic chosen hotspot in town. And, since he loves writing what better way then to share it with others in the area looking for places to go and things to do. Lane runs the website all by himself, a one man productions working to write and post the reviews, updating and editing the site and being the supervisor of all operations. Reviews are written as time permits in between homework and other activities. So, When the Critic is not writing, he is on his computer designing graphics (like the Kid Critic logo) or finding his niche with entrepreneurialism and business, at school learning or reading. His dream when he grows up is to be the owner of a big business empire in the technology industry. 00:45:00Sabrina SumsionnoKid Critic,Lane Sutton,reviews,book reviews,marketingFollowing find more information about Lane Sutton but listen in to learn how he picks products and places to review as well as how to contact him if you would lhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/sabrinasumsion/2010/02/08/interview-with-author-and-autism-expert-jack-georgBookshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/sabrinasumsion/2010/02/08/interview-with-author-and-autism-expert-jack-georg/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/sabrinasumsion/2010/02/08/interview-with-author-and-autism-expert-jack-georgMon, 08 Feb 2010 19:00:00 GMTInterview with author and autism expert Jack GeorgeI will be chatting with Jack George about his publishing projects, his newest book project, autism in general as well as his marketing steps.

He has also taught kindergarten, first grade and second grade. Danny's love of teaching others led him to write the book "How To Survive (and perhaps thrive) On A Teacher's Salary." Danny has been a teacher for almost ten years and is proud to say that passion for the craft keeps him in the classroom but smart savings and basic understanding of financial principles have kept his wife (willingly!) at home with their children. Many find it hard to believe that one teacher can support a family of four, but "How to Survive" explains the steps necessary for others to follow suit and save for life's journeys. Danny has been featured in a number of publications including USA Weekend, PARADE, Instructor, Consumer's Digest, Bottom Line Personal, Your Family Today and The Huffington Post. He has also been on a few television shows, on numerous radio shows and in various newspapers. A lot of people think that figuring out financial matters and investing are difficult and are intimidated by it. Danny wants to show others that if a 34 year-old school teacher can figure it out then they can too.
