A two-time winner of the National Magazine Award--the Pulitzer Prize of magazine writing--Fried has been a prolific writer of feature stories and personal essays for Vanity Fair, The Washington Post Magazine, GQ, Rolling Stone, Glamour, and Philadelphia magazine (where he also served for two years as editor-in-chief.) His most recent book, Husbandry, is a collection of essays he wrote as the "Heart of a Husband" columnist at Ladies' Home Journal..
His 2002 book The New Rabbi—which is in the news again since its main character, beloved and charismatic Rabbi Wolpe, recently died--was highly praised by the New York Times, Washington Post and Boston Globe and featured on "All Things Considered." It was chosen as one of the best books of the year by Publishers weekly, which said, "Stephen Fried took what many would consider a mundane topic-a Jewish congregation searching for a new rabbi-and turned it into a marvelous journalistic memoir that recorded his own spiritual development as well as a community's quest for leadership" And it was named one of the year's top 10 books on religion and spirituality by beliefnet.com.
Rabbi Gerald Wolpe who died on May 18, 2009 at the age of 81, was married to Dr. Arlene's first cousin Elaine. Fried, writing about Wolpe’s death, said "American Jews lost one of our great sermonizers, one of our most fascinating and challenging pulpit leaders, and a renaissance rabbi whose dramatic life yielded several distinct acts, each with its own powerful teaching moments."
July 24th, 5:00PM PDT
Gunner Johnson: Creator of throne "IS" used in the film Batman Forever Dr. Arlene will interview Gunner Johnson, who grew up through his teens in Northern California. As a child, he was very destructive. He caused a lot of mayhem in need of an outlet for his energy. Even later in life he took a lot of chances in pursuit of a life on the edge, a characteristic that shows clearly in his work and which makes his art so unique.
In 1990, with no prior experience or formal training, he began drawing, painting, and sculpting. In Gunner's words, "I opened a door and found a sky." "Sky" being his world of art. A world of intricate design and detail, of strange objects and subject matter, challenging juxtapositions of dark and light, and of torch and steel.
In 1994, Gunner was injured in the Northridge earthquake in Los Angeles and began reading more metaphysical and philosophical books while confined in a leg cast. Within three weeks (fitted with a walking cast) and a new determination, he exploded into a new level of expression.
He is an artist that sees poetic beauty in the transformation of an ordinary Spitfire hood into a "hovercraft" for a larger-than-life alien woman shaped entirely of polished steel which rotates 360 degrees on a pedestal. Original, thought provoking, and mind bending.
Today he creates rather than destroys. His art is a blend of magic, mysticism, demons and heroes. It has been said that he brings to life incredible form and beauty from assumed destruction. He turns lifeless items, such as burnt pieces of wood from the Topanga fires, into the legs of a throne. Used in the film Batman Forever. Listen in to hear about Gunner's visions and how he uses those visions to create his artwork.

At its peak, the Bank had 2+ billion in assets.
In our current economic situation both employees and entrepreneurs should be ready to implement the Right Fit Method in case the ax should fall. New grads entering the workplace with few or no accomplishments need a new way to find a job.

He is the winner of the 2009 Right Fit Award because his job search strategies, including blasting his resume from Burbank to Bombay, have failed. He represents the millions of unemployed who are using the same ineffective strategies. Long term unemployment is the result. It’s time to stop taking the Shotgun Road with no destination and switch to the Right Fit Road and hear “You’re Hired.”
Nat’s contest entry which Dr. Arlene will share indicates that he is ready to embrace and implement new strategies. Nat attested that he has not read Dr. Arlene’s book WIN Without Competing! Career Success the Right Fit Way nor listened to her talk show. As he says, “I am as cold as it gets.”
Dr. Arlene will coach Nat on how to implement her Right Fit Method and walk with him down the Right Fit Road. It is up to Nat to change his behavior and get himself ready to hear “You’re Hired.” Dr. Arlene and her listeners will follow and encourage Nat on his journey until he succeeds. Then barro global search, inc. will name Nat the WIN Without Competing! Man and present him with an engraved gift with his new title. From that point forward the phrase “Remember Nat” will remind job seekers to use the Right Fit Method and WIN.
