That's a big introduction, John Miles. How are you, sir, Dan. 175 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 2: I'm doing great. Thanks for having me on. 176 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: You're doing better than I am tonight, to be really 177 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: honest with you, So this says you're an executive. It 178 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: says on my notes here a Fortune fifty executive. I've 179 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: never heard of Fortune fifty. I've heard of Fortune five hundred. 180 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 2: There's the Fortune five hundred, and then there's the really 181 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 2: big companies in the Fortune five hundred, which are the 182 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 2: Fortune fifty. So I was a chief information officer for Dell, 183 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 2: and I was a senior executive for Lows. So, okay, 184 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 2: companies are eighty billion plus. 185 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: Okay, So it was Fortune fifty. It was not a misprint. Okay, 186 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: you are talking about I believe when you know it's correct. 187 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: Here about a psychological tool that is called mattering that 188 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: can teach children that might prevent some struggles later in adulthood. 189 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: Why don't you unravel this for me because this I 190 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: want to better understand what you'd like to talk about. 191 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: So I'm going to just turn the microphone over to 192 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: you for a moment. 193 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 2: Savan, I realized this can sound a little bit complicated, 194 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 2: so I'll start with my personal story. So I grew 195 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 2: up in the Midwest, and when I was five years old, 196 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 2: we were living in Bay Village, which if listeners aren't 197 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 2: familiar with that, it's a suburb of Cleveland. 198 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: And I, you know, we have in Boston a section, 199 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: a small section of Boston called Bay Village, So thank 200 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: you for Clark. There you go go ahead. 201 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 2: And I was engaged in a simple game of tag 202 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 2: that as you know, these things get rougher and rougher 203 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 2: when you play. And I happened to be running away 204 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 2: from one of my neighborhood friends when I got pushed 205 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 2: from behind in full sprint away from him, and my 206 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 2: head crashed through our basement window. And I woke up 207 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 2: after being unconscious for some time with tubes out the 208 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 2: side of my head and kind of realizing I was 209 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 2: never going to be the same, and I ended up 210 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 2: developing sensory and auditory processing disorders. I had a severe 211 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 2: speech impediment I had to wear an eye patch because 212 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,359 Speaker 2: I developed plaopia because of it, migrains and other things. 213 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 2: But as a result of that, it fundamentally changed me 214 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 2: from a normal kid to being a kid who Unfortunately, 215 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 2: when you're that age, kids tend to bully the person 216 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 2: who looks different, and so I went to parochial schools, 217 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 2: grew up in a big Hatholic family, and unfortunately some 218 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 2: of the teasing and riddle queel was brutal. And what 219 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 2: it made me feel at the time was that I 220 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 2: just wanted to be invisible. I wanted to put that 221 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 2: eye patch and put it over my whole head, and 222 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 2: I didn't feel like I mattered. So what ended up 223 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 2: happening is from that point on, I felt like I 224 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 2: needed to prove myself, and so that feeling of having 225 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 2: to achieve led to an appointment to the Naval Academy 226 00:13:53,880 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 2: and then to my rise and the consulting groups. I 227 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 2: was a partner at Anderson before I was even twenty nine. 228 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: I was the youngest. What, Jude, you graduated in Annapolis 229 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: ninety three, Okay, you're a young man. I had a 230 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: buddy of mine who graduated there in seventy nine and 231 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: was one of their stellar performers. And I'll let that 232 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: one go. But just in the off chance would class 233 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: of seventy nine, we would have at least one actual friend, 234 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: So go ahead, John, I didn't mean to interrupt. 235 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 2: Oh no, But what this unearthed is for me decades 236 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 2: of feeling unseen that carried forward into my adulthood. And 237 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 2: the reason this is so important to me is is 238 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 2: that experience that I had today millions of kids have. 239 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 2: According to recent CDC data, forty percent of high school 240 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 2: students report persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness. And if 241 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 2: you think about that, Dan, that's nearly half our children 242 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 2: in the US. 243 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: The way I think talk show hosts could sometimes feel 244 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: that way too. 245 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead, But I think some of the big 246 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 2: statistics is, you know, depression is up in kids forty 247 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 2: five percent, anxiety is up sixty one percent. But the 248 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 2: crumbling thing is one in three young people report feeling 249 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 2: they do not matter to others ever, and and these 250 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 2: our big issues. So I started to think about how 251 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 2: do you how do you do something about it? Because 252 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 2: if you don't feel like you matter when you're a kid, 253 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 2: what happens? Is it? It grows up with you when 254 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 2: you're an adult, which is why there is this recent thing, 255 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 2: the Belonging Barometer that was done by the American Immigration 256 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 2: Council that found sixty four percent of Americans report they 257 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 2: don't belong in the workplace and seventy four percent say 258 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 2: they don't report they don't belong in their local community. 259 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: Okay, so let me get you to the point here 260 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: because I'm getting a little tight on time. So the 261 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: book that you're talking about, I know there's a children's book, 262 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: but there's also a book that speaks to adults who 263 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: feel unseen and undervalued, stuck in a rut. What can 264 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: you a book do for them? Okay? 265 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 2: So the two different books are the children's book Is 266 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 2: You Matter, Lama. It comes out next week, and this 267 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 2: is a great book to teach kids what it means 268 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 2: to feel that they're love, that they're seeing that they're valued. 269 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 2: And then in October I have another book coming out 270 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 2: called The Mattering Effect, which really goes into a small 271 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 2: part of what's happening to society and why so many 272 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 2: of us feel like we don't matter. But the vast 273 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 2: majority of the book really goes into how do you 274 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 2: build back mattering first inside yourself what I call the 275 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 2: internal operating system, and then into your family, your relationships, 276 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 2: your work, the communities that you're part of. 277 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: Okay, now, the book that I also see you've written 278 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,479 Speaker 1: is called Passion Struck? Is that available these days? Because 279 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: I want my audience to be excited about the idea, 280 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: and I want them not to necessarily have to wait 281 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: until October, We'll have you back by then. But is 282 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: Passion Struck, which also speaks to adults who feel unseen, undervalued, 283 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: and stuck in a rut, is that available right now? 284 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 2: That is available?

Marin Morrison. Is her name? Uh? 374 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,959 Speaker 1: Not named after the county north of San Francisco. 375 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 5: Or is that wellpreciation? 376 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 3: Did? 377 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 5: I did grow up in Marin County, California. Never did 378 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 5: I expect I would name one of my children Marin. 379 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 5: But in a confluence of circumstances, the baby that was 380 00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:00,120 Speaker 5: born in Montana had a beautiful name Marin. 381 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: All right, everybuddy might have played in the NBA for 382 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: many years, Jack Maren, same spelling, a little bit of 383 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 1: a different pronunciation. So I wanted to get that clarified. 384 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: Your daughter was a promising swimmer who I assume dealt 385 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:22,719 Speaker 1: with an injury, you know, perhaps a cataclysmic injury, and 386 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: she became she's a para Paralympic swimmer on the US 387 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 1: Paralympic swimming team.

She died 391 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 5: in two thousand and nine January second of two thousand 392 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 5: and nine, and that was four months after she swam 393 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 5: in the two thousand and eight Paralympic Games in Beijing, 394 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 5: China and the water Cube, you know, sharing that incredible 395 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 5: venue with Michael Phelps and all the greats that had 396 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 5: an amazing Olympic run in two thousand and eight. Her 397 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 5: deal was that she was a high level national swimmer 398 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 5: as a young teenager, definitely on the cusp of qualifying 399 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 5: for the Olympic trials, and had a lot of promise 400 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 5: in the future. But at fourteen, she was diagnosed with 401 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 5: a brain tumor, and after two quick surgeries, she returned 402 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 5: to swimming and continued to compete well as a fifteen 403 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 5: year old, but the tumor grew back, and later in 404 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 5: the summer of two thousand and five, she was left 405 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 5: after her third brain surgery with hemi paralysis on her 406 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 5: right side. Her story really begins there in a lot 407 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 5: of ways, because what occurred was pretty amazing. The Make 408 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,360 Speaker 5: a Whist Foundation, after she was diagnosed with what they 409 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 5: considered a terminal case of brain cancer, came to visit 410 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 5: her and asked her what she might like to do 411 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 5: for a wish, and she said, I want to go 412 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 5: to the swimming in Beijing, and they're talking Olympics. Well 413 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 5: that's like four years away. Is there something you know 414 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 5: we could do sother than that? She's said, well, oh, 415 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 5: I don't want to go to the Olympics to watch 416 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 5: the swimming. I'm going to swim in the Olympics in 417 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 5: Beijing in two thousand and eight. That's when I think 418 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 5: I can make the team. And from there an incredible 419 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 5: journey occurred that took her all the way to touch 420 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 5: the wall in Beijing, and the support along the way 421 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 5: was just amazing, and that's really what the book is about. 422 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: Wow, what a what a story. Okay, what year was 423 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: she born? 424 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 5: She was born in nineteen ninety Okay, so. 425 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: This hit her in what two thousand and four? 426 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 5: Was that the two thousand and five and she wasn't 427 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 5: yet fifteen, But in early two thousand and five is when? 428 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 5: Is when the diagnosis hit and changed her life, in 429 00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 5: our lives and a lot of people's lives. 430 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 1: Was she your only child or did she. 431 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 5: Have Nope, She's the oldest of three, and her younger 432 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 5: sister and younger brother have both endured, you know, a 433 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 5: family upheaval obviously, and the loss of their sibling. But 434 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 5: they've grown up very well in the fifteen years it's 435 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 5: taken me to write this book. It's kind of a 436 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 5: happy ending under tragic circumstances to begin with. 437 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 1: Well, it sounds like a book of perseverance that that 438 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: Marin would, first of all, deal with three surgeries and 439 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: still want to compete. It has to be an inspiration. 440 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure there are a lot of kids 441 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 1: around the world and in the United States who aspire 442 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,239 Speaker 1: to be on the Olympic teams, or they aspired to 443 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: play Major League Baseball or to become a tennis star, 444 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 1: and the dreams are never fulfilled. But in effect, your daughter, 445 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: Marin was able to overcome all of this and fulfill 446 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: her dream. What you. 447 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 5: When you said inspirational, Dan, That's that's the key to it. 448 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 5: She inspired a lot of people with her courage, her determination, 449 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 5: her spirit, and that in turn inspired a big wave 450 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:27,360 Speaker 5: of support that occurred online in our caringbridge dot org, 451 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 5: you know medical website that was just keeping people informed 452 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 5: in our family and across the country friends about a 453 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,959 Speaker 5: medical condition. But it soon turned into the story of 454 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 5: this young girl who went back to swimming and oh 455 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 5: she's swimming again as a disabled swimmer, and oh my goodness, 456 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 5: she's good enough to set American records and she could 457 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 5: actually get to Beijing as a disabled swimmer, And just 458 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 5: that whole journey and all the people that she brought 459 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 5: in along the way. I think it illuminates a great 460 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 5: part of our collective soul, our human spirit in its 461 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 5: best light. And that's what I love about this book, 462 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 5: because that's the kind of person we're in was. She 463 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 5: just inspired people in a lot of different ways. 464 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: Well, it's inspiring to hear you as her dad. I have, 465 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: you know, two children who were born right around that time. 466 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: They're still doing well, and I just think how blessed 467 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 1: I am. And I think how blessed you were to 468 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: have Marin in your life, even though obviously she has 469 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: left you at such an early age. Your other two 470 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: other children, they're doing okay right now. 471 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, they're doing great, you know, And it's you know, 472 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 5: it took this long, I think, to tell this story 473 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 5: in its entirety because of all it took for me 474 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 5: to go through in a grief sense, in a recovery sense, 475 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 5: and and you know, just hard times dealing with the 476 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 5: aftermath of losing a child, which our marriage didn't survive, 477 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 5: and we still had two younger children, and we both 478 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 5: needed to commit to raising those two and they, thankfully 479 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 5: it turned out great. Both are Cammy and Michael are 480 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 5: doing terrific, Both are married, and both are doing great 481 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 5: in their careers. So so in that regard, it's a 482 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 5: happy ending. But more than that, it was just all 483 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 5: the people that Marin inspired that inspired her in return. 484 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 5: It's kind of a story of synergy.

Precisely she was the most conspicuous 503 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 5: last place finisher in any Olympic event you will ever see. 504 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 5: And yet the entire crowd was on its feat, cheering 505 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 5: her home because they knew the struggle it took for 506 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 5: her just to get there and just to get in 507 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 5: the water. So it really you know, she lived eighteen years, 508 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 5: but she lived as well in eighteen years as most 509 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 5: people can in eighty. Her accomplishments were big, and more 510 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 5: than that, she really inspired a lot of people. You 511 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 5: know she left the legacy or your. 512 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: Story of her has inspired people tonight. So again the 513 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: book is available, Touched the Marine Morrison Story. It's something 514 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: that if you have teenagers who are going through minor 515 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: little troubles in the world, this might be a great 516 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 1: book to give them their birthday or just as a present. 517 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: Matt an honor to meet you. Thank you very much, 518 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: and the spirit of your the spirit of your daughter 519 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: lives on. 520 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 5: Great Dan, thank you so much for having me on. 521 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: You're more than welcome. When we get back, we talk 522 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: about the weather this weekend. There's a lot of questions 523 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: about what might be happening on the tail end of 524 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 1: the weekend, and Bob Larson will join us on the 525 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: other side of the break. You're on Night Side with 526 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: Dan Ray. 527 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 2: I'm Boston's News Radio. 528 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: Well, I'm watching the weather forecast this week on the 529 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: local television stations, and once again I'm reminded that we 530 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: are still in February and winter is not over and 531 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: may not really be over this weekend. Bob Larson of 532 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: AKI Weather joins, is Bob, what's going on this weekend upcoming? 533 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: It looks like it could get nasty around here. 534 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 4: It does, Dan, it does. Indeed, it's interesting to mention 535 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 4: that winter is not over as recently as just well, 536 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 4: actually it was last week. I was asked, and I quote, 537 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 4: why is winter hanging on so long? 538 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: It's February, February. 539 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 4: That would be a valid question of this for March 540 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 4: thirtieth or April second or something. 541 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: But no, no, no, I just but hey, I remember 542 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: the April blizzard of ninety seven, and I'm sure you 543 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: do as well. I remember a big snowstorm that I 544 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: covered as a young reporter back in nineteen seventy seven, 545 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: where they had liked ten inches. Remember that storm. That's 546 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: I do. I do. 547 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 4: I was not I was not working yet, but I 548 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 4: certainly remember that storm. 549 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: It was it was May seventh or into or eighth, 550 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: and there was like ten inches of snow in the 551 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: western suburbs. I mean, it piled up. 552 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 4: So hopefully that's not where we are headed this year. 553 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 4: But it is still February, and we still had to 554 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 4: deal with snow threats, and that's what we have this 555 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 4: time around. Yet again, the time period that we're concerned 556 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 4: about is for Sunday night and Monday. Maybe it starts 557 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 4: to snow a little bit very late Sunday anternoon, but 558 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 4: again I think it's mostly Sunday night and Bunday. The 559 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 4: ultimate question, as it often is, is where exactly is 560 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 4: this going the store going to track? I guess I 561 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 4: could add a second question, how strong will it be 562 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 4: as it is tracking northward, because it is going to 563 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 4: intensify at odds still would be just how quickly does 564 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 4: this process take place? So there are a number of 565 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 4: different scenarios right now. There's one scenario. Unfortunately, it does 566 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 4: show this moving pretty far north over the western Atlantic, 567 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 4: intensifying rapidly, and that would leave us with another major 568 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 4: snowfall and a lot of wind as well. That's not 569 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 4: necessarily the most likely solutions just yet, but it is 570 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 4: certainly on the table this point. I would also say 571 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 4: that this is becoming less likely, but there are still 572 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 4: some solutions out there that suggests we'll get mostly missed 573 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,320 Speaker 4: from this, that it heads pretty much more east than north, 574 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 4: and we get brushed by a little bit of lightstone 575 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 4: mostly out of the cape. But I think more than likely, 576 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 4: more than likely, is a storm will track close enough 577 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 4: to us to bring us accumulating snows Sunday and nine 578 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 4: and Monday. At this point, we're saying two to four 579 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 4: inches in and around the city. The area that we're 580 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 4: most concerned about would be the cape in the islands, 581 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 4: where there could be six inches plus and a lot 582 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 4: of wind to go along with that, which means that 583 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 4: the farther north and west you go, we was through 584 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 4: on north and west lesser amounts on the table at 585 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 4: this point. So we'll have to see how those tracks. 586 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 4: But that's the way it looks right now. The one 587 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 4: consistency I see as well in terms of modeling all 588 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 4: over the place in terms of where it goes. The 589 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 4: consistent thing is the timing of this, that being with 590 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 4: Sunday night and Monday. 591 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 1: So my nudustanding. And again I'm not a weather guy, 592 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: but I watched weather forecasts very carefully. I guess they 593 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: have a couple of models. They call it the US 594 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 1: model and the europe model, right, and I assume the 595 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: US model is somewhere in some federal agency and here 596 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: in America, and they have an equivalent European model. Who 597 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: runs the European model Europe or do we run both 598 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: of those? Now? 599 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 4: It comes out of you're about of the UK as 600 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 4: a matter of. 601 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: Fact, okay, and the and the US model that they 602 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 1: keep referring to, Mike welcome and Channel five always is 603 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 1: referring to it is that run by nor or some 604 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 1: other federal agency. 605 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 4: It is I don't know the exact breakdown of the 606 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 4: hierarchy of who's actually in charge of and whatnot. And 607 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,720 Speaker 4: I would also add Dan and they're actually they're actually 608 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 4: more than two models. Those are the ones that we 609 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 4: talk about the most, but they are actually far more models. 610 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 4: To no pun intended to cloud the pictures. Sometimes there 611 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 4: are so many things to look at. But as an 612 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 4: older meteorologist, and I'm talking about myself now, we often 613 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 4: like to go back to what we would say traditional 614 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 4: techniques when modeling. You know, we started forecasting when they're 615 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 4: very limited modeling, and it's not as a models are 616 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 4: like the answer key to a test. There's so many 617 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 4: other things you have to look at. You draw upon 618 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 4: experience past storms that tried to follow this path, what 619 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 4: happened to them this time of year and this type 620 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 4: of weather pattern. Number of things can come into play. 621 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 4: The one thing I'm going to tell you is that 622 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 4: what makes this more challenging is that we're not tracking 623 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,800 Speaker 4: a major storm coming across the country that we already 624 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 4: have a history of, and we already know what it's 625 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 4: doing and what is capable of. This is something that 626 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 4: will be developing as we go into the weekend, and 627 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 4: that makes it a little more challenging because it'll be 628 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 4: unfolding before our very eyes. 629 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 1: So this is not the stuff that they were talking 630 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,439 Speaker 1: about tonight tomorrow in the Ohio Valley. They were talking 631 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,840 Speaker 1: about a lot of tornados and right actually. 632 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 4: That's a separate storm, separate storm, and they are there 633 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 4: are there have been numerous tornado warnings deceiving across Indiana 634 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 4: that will translate into Ohio later tonight. On the cold 635 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 4: side of that storm, heavy snow right now in Omaha, 636 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,360 Speaker 4: Nebraska headed into Iowa. That's a separate storm that's going 637 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 4: to race east. We're and be off the BAP and 638 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 4: out of the picture long before our storm that we 639 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 4: need to worry about. The storm that we're concerned about 640 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,360 Speaker 4: won't be developing until sometime on Saturday. 641 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 1: And where is again, I know you say it's not 642 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 1: going to be developing. Where will it be coming out 643 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: us from? Is it coming up the east coast from? 644 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it'll be essentially a developing northeastern and the 645 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 4: question is just where exactly does it go? Should be 646 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 4: developing off the outer banks of North Carolina. If it 647 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 4: comes more north than east, then we're going to be 648 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,879 Speaker 4: directly in the crosshairs to get a lot of snow 649 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,760 Speaker 4: and wind. It moves more east than north, it fades 650 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,720 Speaker 4: eastward and we get brushed by just to the northern 651 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 4: edge of it, and it's not as much as a 652 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 4: big deal. I can tell you that if we do 653 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 4: end up getting the snow, it won't be as cold 654 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,359 Speaker 4: of a storm as what we saw with the big 655 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,760 Speaker 4: storm in January and some of the other winter storms. 656 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 4: This would be tending to be more of a wet, 657 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 4: heavier type snow. By heavy on talking about this, your 658 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,840 Speaker 4: weight of it, not necessarily the intensity of it. The 659 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 4: good news in that is, well, it's not good to 660 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 4: try to remove heavy, wet snow. The good news is 661 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 4: that it doesn't tend to stick around as long and 662 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 4: entwer it goes away. Yes, it will be for a 663 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,720 Speaker 4: couple of days and nights, but not the extreme cold 664 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,839 Speaker 4: we had the days that followed that January storm. 665 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:11,359 Speaker 1: It's been an interesting winter, somewhat not as bad as 666 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen and twenty fifteen. The no the winter where 667 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 1: the snow started and then didn't stop. But it's it's 668 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,959 Speaker 1: been a kind of an old fashioned New England winter 669 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:23,319 Speaker 1: and we. 670 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 4: Have it stands out It stands out there because the 671 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,919 Speaker 4: last few winters have been relatively uneventful when it comes 672 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 4: to snowstirm. Certainly there was some snowstorms and winter storms 673 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 4: in general to deal with, but not quite to the 674 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,399 Speaker 4: magnitude we've seen this year. 675 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: No, no, Bob Larson Aki weather.
