Part Two of Jay Cummings with iMOODivate

Ready to make a difference in someone's life and yours at the same time? What do you answer when someone says the most often asked question in the world? Ready to pick your mood? And share it? Jay Cummings and Lynn Thompson spoke for over an hour recently with two people in the audience, so it seems like a good idea to make two segments about the wonder of iMOODivate. Here is Part Two! Just over half an hour, with Jay and Lynn and Dr. Lynda from the Goodness Exchange in Part One who leaves early in Part Two for her own interview, and then there is more from Elly, the other guest in the audience. The Heart Cards show up in the mix too! Thanks for listening. Music is with thanks to Black Fedora with Sneaky Jazz weaving through Living on Purpose (aka The On Purpose Podcast).

Part One of Tom with Durham Precious Metals

Discussion ranges through and beyond gold and silver into history of economy, opening our minds with insights into the nature of currency. Part One because it was a lengthy session with several people in the audience during the recording. Thanks for listening to Living on Purpose and thanks to Tom from Durham Precious Metals for sharing with Lynn Thompson and the audience. The discussion continues in Part Two and Part Three. Appreciation to Black Fedora with Sneaky Jazz for the musical weave.

Oracle Jesai with Spirit Forces

A simple inquiry leads to an intriguing wander with spirit revealing the beginnings and journey of psychic spiritual advisor, Jesai Chantler of Spirit Forces. A few people in the audience offer some insights in the last stretch of this hour and 25 minutes. All is well and well underway. Thanks for listening to Living on Purpose (aka The On Purpose Podcast) with host (and witness) Lynn Thompson.

Connie Sponheim with The Drama School

Through WomensRadio in 2009, Connie (then Bauer) reached out to Living on Purpose host Lynn Thompson and they arranged a phone call on her "live" CHLY show between California and British Columbia. In twenty minutes, they cover Connie's drama project with children at that time and a range of perspectives on education. Now, in 2022, Connie and Lynn are in touch again and will have a fresh conversation at some point. Thank you for listening!

Shannon Lee Simmons with New School of Finance

Finally, Lynn Thompson talks with Shannon after becoming aware of her Barter Babes Project over ten years ago when her goal was to give financial advice to 300 women in one year and charge no money at all for it. She thought it would be a year-long project, a pause from her Bay Street life. However, after that year, the community it created, the joy it gave her, and the taste of entrepreneurship had her hooked. Shannon knew she wouldn't be able to go back to the 9 – 5. Hello: New School of Finance and in 2022, a team of nine.

Dr. Julie Ponesse with My Choice

Former university professor with a PhD in ethics and ancient philosophy, Julie is now the Pandemic Ethics Scholar with The Democracy Fund.
For months, Julie had already been a volunteer with the Canadian Covid Care Alliance as the ethics and law committee chair.
On January 13, 2022, Lynn Thompson welcomed Julie to Living on Purpose by Zoom with a dozen people in the audience from numerous places in the world for this 45-minute podcast that features some voices of the audience. The 18-minute Audience Companion Podcast is available, featuring glimpses of discussion after and before Julie's appearance.
More of Dr. Ponesse's education includes a Masters in Philosophy with Collaborative Specialization in Bioethics from the University of Toronto and a Diploma in Ethics from the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University.
After teaching at universities in Canada and the US for 20 years, Dr. Ponesse saw her academic career fall apart in September 2021 after she refused to comply with a Canadian university's COVID vaccine mandate.
In response, she recorded a special video directed to her first-year ethics students, Ethics 101, a short lesson on the universally accepted ethics of coercing people into medical procedures. That video went viral. 
"If we could just realize that it's better to have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned." —Dr. Julie Ponesse
In early November 2021, The Democracy Fund, one of the largest civil liberties organizations in Canada, offered Dr. Ponesse the position of the Pandemic Ethics Scholar. She is conducting interviews and many are scheduling interviews with her.
In December 2021, Dr. Ponesse released a book, published by The Democracy fund, titled My Choice: The Ethical Case Against Covid-19 Vaccine Mandates. 
In her book, with passion and intelligence, Dr. Ponesse charts her account of the dramatic change of her career direction and its ongoing aftermath. However, her story travels beyond the personal by examining our pandemic response's philosophical dimensions and ethics. For anyone who feels alone while preserving personal choice and freedom, Julie's book offers compassionate guidance and encouragement on how to move forward and share your voice.
"Asking questions, challenging the narrative, and other ways to get canceled in 2021!"
