This week we begin a new series of shows called “Learn From The Experts”. We’ll hear from guests who have a specific skill that they have mastered, and they’ll be here to give us their insights and make us all just a little smarter….a little more well-rounded, a little more well-prepared.
We’ll start with a topic that most of us would admit we’d like to know just enough about to be dangerous, and that is wine. For those of you who like to have an occasional glass of wine with a special dinner, or who are looking to buy wine to take as a hostess gift at the holidays, a little bit of knowledge can go a long way. We’re fortunate today to have as our guest a sommelier who is here to tell us how we can be just a little more wise about wines.
Cory Sebastian has not only grown up in the restaurant business, but has over 15 years of fine dining experience. In addition to her time in restaurants, she spent four years studying and preparing for the exam that in September of 2011 entered Cory into the Guild Of Sommeliers by the Master Court of Sommeliers. Since then, she has had the opportunity to write, teach and train others about wine in Southeastern Wisconsin.
Just in the last 10 years, Cory has had the opportunity to taste over 1,000 wines from all over the world, and estimates that in total she has tasted close to 2000 wines. She has been managing Sebastians Restaurant in Caledonia, WI for nearly six years. During this time she has been working on continually evolving the Sebastians wine program, which consists of over 150 wine selections.

We wrap up our discussion about what the various people, places, and things in our life can teach us with a look at what we can learn from Nature. Mother Nature has its own rhythms that can guide us if we tune in and allow it. What does it take for us to see, feel and hear the cues and clues that are available in nature. Our “nature guide” this week is a frequent guest who regularly turns to Nature to guide and ground him.

We have all seen or walked past individuals who are homeless or living on the streets. It is common to feel compassion for their situation, and to wonder what life circumstances brought them to this place. But have you ever considered what there might be for us to learn about ourselves from the homeless? Our guest this week works closely with the homeless population in his town and will share what he has learned about himself, and what there is for us to learn, from these individuals.

We break for our series of shows looking at how we learn about ourselves from others by speaking with a special guest whom we have much to learn from. Caron Butler’s life story is one we can all benefit from knowing…….overcoming an early life of drugs and crime, a career in the NBA, and giving back to his hometown to inspire others to achieve their dreams. We were able to connect with Caron just before the introduction of his autobiography, Tuff Juice, This is the first
Caron is a native of Racine, Wisconsin, where the Mind Body Spirit Living show is recorded, and currently splits his time between his home in Racine, and his home in Southern California where he is currently a member of the Sacramento Kings NBA Basketball team. Caron has an amazing and inspiring life story that has been featured on ESPN and is getting ready to release his autobiography Tuff Juice on October 7.
During a very rough childhood, Caron was arrested 15 times before the age of 15, and was a drug dealer at age 11. While at a detention center, he found his love for basketball, and played both AAU ball and on his high school team at Racine Park High School before being recruited to play at the University of Connecticut under Coach Jim Calhoun.
While at UConn, Caron shined, leading the team in both scoring and rebounding in his freshman year, improving on his numbers in his sophomore year, and leading his team to the Big East regular season and tournament titles and the Elite 8 at the NCAA Tournament. He was named co-Big East player of the year and second-team All American, before then declaring for the NBA draft.
Caron was the 10th pick in the 2002 NBA draft, playing for the Miami Heat for 3 seasons. His career has taken him to numerous teams in the NBA, including the Washington Wizards and Dallas Mavericks with many appearances in the NBA Playoffs.
