Creator and Host of Positive Talk Radio and its Parent Company KMmedia.pro

Journalist, stand-up comic, janitor, theater performer, electronics technician, small-business consultant, public affairs specialist, and disco dance instructor. John Verrico still doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up, but has learned not to take life too seriously and to experience everything life has to offer. Former president of the National Association of Government Communicators and retired Navy Master Chief with more than 40 years of experience as a communication professional in media, community, and employee relations, John Verrico founded Share Your Fire, LLC, and is now a high-energy, thought-provoking, and humorously nerdy international speaker and leadership coach providing workshops on communication, motivation, resilience, and balance. He earned a Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership and a Bachelor’s in communication.

I’m Darcey Kesner Hawkins, founder of the I Choose Me!™️ Platform, a space dedicated to empowering trauma survivors to reclaim their voice and their place in this physical world. With over a decade of experience in wellness and a deep connection to intuitive and shamanic healing, I serve as a minister, spiritual coach, and practical guide for those navigating the complexities of mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical wellbeing.

As a speaker, podcast host, and advocate, my mission is to bring holistic practices into the mainstream while creating supportive spaces where individuals can heal, grow, and thrive. I believe in the power of community, the wisdom of our own bodies, and the necessity of self-prioritization in an overwhelming world. Let’s heal, connect, and elevate together.
