Author Interview Jeff Rasley and I have networked for over a decade now. He was a guest on my former radio show ( Conscious Discussions Talk Radio ) that I ran for 15 years. He's been a guest on this blog several times in the past as well - and we are always thrilled to feature his interesting adventures and discussions. Today is no different - except that we will be celebrating Jeff's new book:  72 Wisdoms -  which is a collection of 72 short personal essays discussing each of the wise quotes shared in the book. Jeff is the author of fourteen books and the president of the Basa Village Foundatio n , secretary of the Scientech Foundation , board member of the Indianapolis Peace and Justice Center , a trustee of Earlham College , and co-founder of the Jeff and Alicia Rasley Internship Program for the ACLU of Indiana. What a busy guy!!  Thankfully he found the time to drop in to share his experiences with his new book today.  *  Jeff invites our readers to vis...

You remember his name having appeared on this blog before - and you would be correct. Jeff is definitely one of those connections that we have a strong networking connection with.
