Terry Tucker: From SWAT Hostage Negotiator to Cancer Warrior - Uncovering Resilience and the Power of Love
In this captivating interview with Terry Tucker, former SWAT Hostage Negotiator, and cancer warrior, we dive into his incredible life journey, the concept of tactical empathy, and how love and determination can help us persevere through adversity. Terry's resilience and inspiring story will motivate you to face your challenges head-on.
In a recent episode of "Things I Want to Know," Andrea and I had the opportunity to interview the truly inspiring Terry Tucker. Terry's professional journey has taken him through various fields, but his most significant challenge began when he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. In this conversation, Terry generously shared with us how he navigated his life through these adversities, including his time as a SWAT Hostage Negotiator and the impact of his ongoing battle with cancer.
Terry shared some invaluable insights into his work in hostage negotiations, stating that they utilized "tactical empathy," which involves trying to understand where a person is coming from without necessarily agreeing with them. This approach allowed the team to maintain a connection with the hostage-taker without compromising their position. Terry also mentioned that they would never give anything without getting something significant in return, such as a hostage for a pizza.
When discussing his experience with cancer, Terry opened up about the challenges he has faced and the strength he has found to continue fighting. He revealed that he is still undergoing treatment for tumors in his lungs and credits a clinical trial drug for helping him maintain a stable condition. Terry's resilience and determination have been crucial in his ongoing battle, and his story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of never giving up.
One of the most poignant moments in the interview came when Terry shared the story of how his daughter insisted on a family vote to decide whether he should undergo chemotherapy. This experience reminded him of a lesson he had learned in the police academy - that "you'll fight harder for the people you love than you'll fight for yourself." Ultimately, Terry chose to undergo chemo, and it proved to be the right decision, as it bridged the gap to the clinical trial drug that has since stabilized his condition.
Terry's story is a testament to the power of inner strength, resilience, and the importance of fighting for the ones you love. His experiences have not only shaped his life but have also given him a unique perspective on the challenges we all face. This episode of "Things I Want to Know" is a must-listen for anyone looking for inspiration to overcome life's obstacles and to learn more about the extraordinary life of Terry Tucker. His journey serves as a reminder that, even in the face of adversity, hope, love, and determination can carry us through the most difficult times.

He went on to use himself as an example, highlighting that "I'm a member of Mensa, obviously with a high IQ, but at school was thrown out of school, I was expelled. Behavior, grades that were underperforming that didn't come down to my engine."

In other words, IQ is mostly about processing power, not intellect. It's the softer skills that really matter, such as focus, organization, and goal-setting.

He believes that we all have the potential to achieve great things in life, and that it's up to us to overcome our limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns.

The Positive MOM, Elayna Fernandez: Empowering Women to Find Success
Elayna Fernandez, known as "The Positive MOM," empowers women to find success and emotional wholeness. Her community helps women earn passive income and break free from negative cycles. With her inspiring message of supporting and lifting each other up, she helps women become the best version of themselves.
Have you ever felt you need to live up to your full potential? Well, I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Elayna Fernandez, also known as the Positive MOM, and let me tell you, she's the perfect person to help you on your journey to empowerment and fulfillment.
During our conversation, Elayna shared some fantastic insights and wisdom on becoming the best versions of ourselves. One thing that stood out to me was her mission to help others. As she puts it, "It's not about me; it's about the mission." She's dedicated to empowering women and helping them find their unique paths to success. And the best part? She's built an incredible community of women who support and inspire each other.
Elayna's journey has been marked by challenges, including overcoming abuse and poverty. But rather than letting those experiences hold her back, she's used them as fuel to help others. She told me that challenges are growth opportunities and that by reframing our struggles, we can become more resilient and overcome obstacles. I found this inspiring because it's something we can all relate to. We all face challenges in life, but how we respond to them makes all the difference.
Another thing we talked about was finding our passion. Elayna believes love is finding what lights you up and makes you feel alive. And then, it's about taking action to make that a reality. It sounds simple, but so many of us struggle with this. Elayna told me that it could be discovered with some introspection and self-discovery. By identifying what truly makes us happy and fulfilled, we can take steps to make that passion a reality.
Lastly, we discussed the importance of supporting other women. Elayna is a big believer in the power of community and lifting each other. She says, "As women, we must support each other more. We need to lift each other and help each other succeed. Because when one of us succeeds, we all succeed." I couldn't agree more with this sentiment. We're all in this together, Men and Women, and by supporting each other, we can achieve more than we ever could.
Elayna Fernandez, The Positive MOM, is an incredible woman dedicated to empowering others. Her mission, resilience, and insights into finding passion and supporting other women are truly inspiring.

Uncovering the Lost Art of Meaningful Connections: Insights from Sanjib Nandi on the Paul G's Corner Podcast
Discover the power of meaningful connections and personal growth in this insightful conversation with Sanjib Nandi on the Paul G's Corner podcast. From discussing the differences in social connectivity between India and the US to sharing tips on becoming a better version of ourselves, this episode is packed with wisdom and inspiration. Don't miss out on this eye-opening conversation.
Sanjib Nandi
My podcast, "Paul G's Corner," has new episodes released every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday. During my recent program, I spoke with Sanjib Nandi. He and I had a heartfelt conversation about the importance of making meaningful connections in today's world.
As Sanjib shared with me, "We need to be more connected to each other than ever before, especially in these times of isolation and uncertainty. It's so easy to get caught up in our own little worlds and forget about the people around us. But if we want to create a better world, we need to start by connecting with the people around us."
Sanjib and I also talked about the cultural differences in connection between India and the United States. He said, "In India, people often go to each other's houses to celebrate different occasions, and this helps to strengthen their relationships. In the US, this practice has become less common, and people are more likely to keep to themselves."
We both agreed that there is a growing awareness, especially among the younger generation, of the importance of real, meaningful connections. Sanjib said, "I think people are starting to realize that social media and virtual interactions can only take us so far. We need to make an effort to connect with people in real life, to have face-to-face conversations and build real relationships."
Our conversation also touched on the importance of personal growth and becoming a better version of ourselves. As Sanjib put it, "We all have the potential to grow and become better, but it takes effort and commitment. It's important to set goals for ourselves and take small steps every day to achieve them."
Overall, my conversation with Sanjib was a truly enriching experience, and I hope our listeners took away some valuable insights on the importance of connection and personal growth.

Five things you didn't know about me...
I was bounty hunter in my younger days. Yes, an honest to goodness bounty hunter. I arrested three men and almost lost my sh*t the entire time I was doing it. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t afraid, I was hyper aware of everything that was going on.
Thinking about my experiences today I really don’t know how I could tantalize you, the reader. Blogs are supposed to be about the exciting and creative things the author has done during the day to show the world how great they are.
Well, today was actually kind of boring. I know, I know… I am supposed to never say that on a blog because it might mean that the folks reading might get disillusioned. It’s all about the clicks, right?
So I thought that it might be interesting to write about five things you don’t know, or probably don’t know about me.
One: I hate clickbait, and I am somewhat mad at myself right now for engaging in it.
Two: I truly put myself in the shoes of other people. I may be wrong about my conclusions, but I try very hard to make sure that everything that I do has a positive impact on the person I am talking to.
Three: I was a bounty hunter in my younger days. Yes, an honest to goodness bounty hunter. I arrested three men and almost lost my sh*t the entire time I was doing it. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t afraid, I was hyper-aware of everything that was going on. That meant I knew I was probably ruining these cats lives by bringing them in. I am older now, so I realize that their lives were already crap and they were the only one that was responsible for their predicament. I was just a symptom.
Truth be told, my right eye twitched 24/7 while I was hunting these guys down. I was smarter than them so I got everyone I was sent after, but it was absolute hell.
When I quit, when I told the bondsman that I wasn’t going to do it anymore, my eye immediately quit twitching. Thank God, cuz that sucked.
Well, almost everyone levels up.
Four: I used to be an American Idol level singer. I know, everyone says they are that good. But I was told more than once that I was great, and not by a bunch of drunks either (they think everyone’s great). It didn’t last long though, just like everything else I tried, it got hard and I had an easier way to make money now, so I did that instead.
What I should have done… wait. life isn’t about what we should have done. It’s about what we are going to do next. Want some unsolicited advice? Ok, I will tell you anyway. Don’t run from what is hard, run toward it. You will only get better and level up.
Five: I genuinely want everyone I work with to succeed. I feel jealousy sometimes, but when I recognize it for what it is, I immediately slap my hand with a ruler. When folks around me win, I win. I win because I get to learn from them (you can too, I believe this with my entire being). They are winning, and I want to win also. Bringing them down or chastising them behind their back or to their face is actually saying more about me than them.
Failure we can learn from. Winning benefits us all. We can learn and absorb what it took to win and use it for ourselves.
Because I put myself in everyone else’s shoes, I know that they may have won, but they are just as scared and full of self-doubt as I am and you are, believe it or not.
