CONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN WE THE SPECIES hosted by CalvinSchwartz

“Meet YISHAY ISHY RON, author, former soldier, and survivorof severe PTSD.  I was around, going toRutgers in the sixties, and saw our soldiers coming back from Vietnam with astrange condition, not defined yet, with an array of symptoms. PTSD becamedefined. A few years ago, I befriended ‘Cozmo,’ a relatively recent formerMarine who left service with severe PTSD. I was beginning to learn and feel.Then last week, I Zoomed with Yishay; introduced to me by publisher, author AnnMarie Sabath. What enveloped me was Yishay’s introspection, warmth, reality,pain, mission, honesty, humanity, creativity, former addiction, survival,shame, healing, resilience, redemption, authenticity, and depth. Swirlingaround like beams of light through a window shade was the notion of humanity.We’re all just here on this globe. I threw those several words out there; mytakeaway from Yishay. Maybe yours. A powerful interview. And his new book ‘DOG’will surprise you, especially the narrator.” Calvin

CONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN WE THE SPECIES

Meet WENDY ALEXANDER. “I’ve done 648 interviews/videos sincethe beginning of Conversations with Calvin. Even global. Africa, India, Europe,the Middle East. Wendy Alexander is in Melbourne. The time with Wendy is asimportant as I’ve ever had. Especially for you all. Why emphatic? Let me countthe ways. Her life began with apartheid in South Africa. Beyond emotions,listening to her. Her family moves to Australia. Soon, a gun is pointed at herhead during a robbery. A failed marriage and a baby. No home, no money.Desperate times. Her resilience is an enduring inspiration. Much more. Shethrives in the corporate world. But spiritually, meditatively, she knows shemust counsel people in their career search. Here’s the HUGE importance for allof us. My thinking was expressed to Wendy. AI is changing our world every 15minutes. Many are going to need serious career help, and not just with onecareer. Multiple. Remember AI lurks. Wendy has a handle and grasp of careercoaching (with people all over). There’s much more to Wendy. Yes, I love heraccent. Wendy endured early and intense menopause. She is outspoken andpassionate on that journey. She wrote “Internal Uprising” (on Amazon). It’s hervoice and wisdom on midlife, menopause, and beyond. Enough said. A very specialWendy Alexander. And as I told her, one of my favorites, a thought-provokingmovie, ‘On the Beach,’ takes place in Australia.”   Calvin

Meet MONICA WALLS: “Read this. One word. LIPSTICK. And thestory about my interview with Monica. I didn’t want this to end. I discoveredher energy, passion, commitment, dedication, drive, and belief. In herself. Tocreate ‘Keca’s Usna’ Lipstick. And the story behind this. My favoriteexclamation. “Wow.” Firstly, Monica is exuberant, worldly, delightful, intense,and real. Her words resonate even now as I compose this. She left a wonderful,safe, cushioned HR career in Silicon Valley. Something was missing. I know thefeeling. Our bonding. To build something from the ground up. She developed thisunique, practical, and glamorous lipstick brand. Listen in to the challenges,inspirations, advice, and journey, including the real geographical trip toCroatia. Much here to grasp. And you all know me. Basking in spirituality.

LIPSTICK WEBSITE: kecasusna.com

Bio: People, culture, and values have always been mypassion, and I am continuously inspired by the eclectic range of individuals Iencounter on my travels. My journey began in Silicon Valley, where I worked asan HR leader alongside visionary CEOs, advocating for the value people bring toorganizations. I infused my work with what spoke to my heart:volunteer efforts,community events, and championing causes like walk-a-thons, food drives, andwomen’s shelters. Yet, something was missing. I was tired of having to explainwhat seemed so obvious to me: treat people well and do something meaningfulwith personality and grace.

It became clear that the excitement of building somethingfrom the ground up was what I truly enjoyed, and it was time to do that formyself. After extensive travel and exploration, my experiences, particularly inCroatia, left a lasting impression. This connection inspired the creation of mylip color collection, Keca’s Usna.

I had tried various brands but found my favorites eithersticky or short-lasting, while my go-to long-lasting lipstick left my lips dry.I wanted it all: a formula that was long-lasting, non-drying, and felt good.Keca’s Usna is a tribute to my heritage and journey, where each shade tells astory, celebrating diversity and connection while embodying the values I holddear.

CONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN WE THE SPECIES

Meet MUSTAFA AMMAR “ Alwaysgrateful to the mysterious universe for connectivity. A few years ago, Mustafawas there. The point of precious attachment; we were both pharmacists. Mustafain Egypt. Calvin in New Jersey.  Apowerful bond formed. We both journeyed away from pharmacy. But Mustafa’sjourney is the ‘stuff’ they make movies about. Diplomat for Egypt in Beijing.He taught himself Chinese. Then, a successful investment banker who raised abillion dollars for Middle Eastern agriculture. Then a series of books oncareers, ‘Time to Move On; The 7 Career Myths,’ and recently, ‘Don’t Live OneLife; Mastering Multiple Careers and Income Streams.’ This is our thirdinterview. In January, Mustafa spoke about Outsmarting AI. Now, focus onreinvention and building multiple income streams. Mustafa is so very relevant.I’m hugely emotional now about how important Mustafa’s message is. In myopinion, AI is changing our world every fifteen minutes. He is brilliant,passionate, and so dedicated. You should partake. Every fifteen minutes, thereis a change. Yes, I’m dramatic. I’m thinking of the movie Moonstruck, when Cherslaps Nicholas Cage and tells him, “Snap out of it!” Consider my slap. Bottomline: Mustafa is a gift.”  Calvin

CONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN WE THE SPECIES

Meet KRISTINE GENOVESE: Growing up in North Jersey in theSixties, I remember the old Palisades Park. It was an infinite array of rides,excitement, games of chance, endless hours of captivation, and wonder. I’m astream-of-consciousness writer. How can I describe my time Zooming withKristine Genovese? I just did. An interview of captivation, spirituality,health, Einstein’s thought, “The Future of Medicine is frequency andvibrations, Gut in healing, electromagnetic field around the heart, Soul Intelligence,bridging the corporate world and energy-based healing, emotional blockages,spiritual gangster, Nutritional Frontiers, and tennis. These words are asampling. Continuing the metaphor. Kristine is pure captivation. We, thespecies, need to hear her. Lots of healing and miles to reach the ‘park’ ofhealth. And. Kristine saw an orb fly behind me. I wasn’t surprised. And so, itgoes.”  Calvin

BIO: Kristine Genovese is a transformative force in holistichealth, empowering healthcare professionals and healers to reclaim their ownwell-being while revolutionizing the way they heal others. As the creator ofthe groundbreaking Soul Intelligence® Method, she facilitates energy-basedtrauma release and root-cause healing without revisiting pain.

Kristine Genovese is an LA Tribune best-selling author ofHealing Through Soul Intelligence and the recipient of Best Holistic LifeMagazine’s 2025 Book of the Year award. A recognized leader in the holistichealing and transformation space, Kristine is the creator of the groundbreakingSoul Intelligence® Method—a powerful approach to energy-based trauma releaseand root-cause healing. Her impact has earned her a featured role in theupcoming anniversary edition of The Secret, Pillars of Power, set to releaselater this year.

 

Soul Intelligence® is a revolutionary bioenergetic healingsystem designed to release physical, emotional, and mental energy at thesubconscious level, offering profound transformation without the need to relivepast traumas. Bioenergetics was documented in the 1950s by Dr. Alexander Lowen,which simply states there is a correlation between one’s physical well-beingand one’s mental and emotional well-being. If you physically don’t feel wellthen mentally and emotionally, you are not doing so hot either and vice versa.


Before developing Soul Intelligence®, I spent more than 25years specializing in corporate growth and turnarounds, identifying andimproving people, processes, and technology to streamline operations and boostbusiness outcomes. This experience honed my ability to identify underlyingpatterns and dysfunctionality, which I now apply to help individuals clearenergetic blockages and achieve optimal well-being. ​

BIO EXCERPT: (from The Art of Being Human)

I was fortunate to graduate from college by the age oftwenty. I cloistered myself in an American yoga ashram (monastery), where Ibegan the formal training of my spiritual learning. After learning simple yetprofound truths that I could not have discovered in the broader society, I leftthe ashram to learn simpler yet profound truths that I could not have learnedthere.

I was fortunate to get a job as a resident host in abeautiful YMCA camp at the very lake where the lightning had struck my tentseven years earlier. I followed my path as a music teacher, trumpet player, andcomposer, and while conducting a symphonic work of mine, met my future wife,who was a clarinetist; we married eleven months later. I was hired to teachmusic and yoga at a school for emotionally disturbed children a few miles fromthe YMCA camp and began to teach evening yoga and meditation classes there aswell.

 My adult yogastudents and I then established the American Yoga Conservatory to teach yoga ona deeper level, free from external Indian cultural trappings. In December 1984,my wife and I learned that we were expecting a child. The Conservatory lost itslease, and I had my first channeled reading by the entity Hemetro, who laterwould reveal himself as one of my three principal guides.

I was made aware of mistakes in the structure of my teachingvehicle (the Conservatory) and immediately began the process of releasing thatfrom my life. I traveled to the Soviet Union in May 1985 with 80 other yogis,artists, teachers, actors, authors, and clergy to establish grassroots contactwith Russian counterparts. Upon returning home, I secured a job as a musicteacher in the New York City suburb of Mahwah, New Jersey.

Our first child was born that August, and a new chapter ofmy life - that of a father - began in earnest, all the while attempting toserve humanity through music and my love of children. It has not been easy.Sometimes humanity does not wish to be served.
