In honor of Military Appreciation Month, Verizon thought of a lot of different ways we could show our appreciation, like rolling out the red carpet. Giving you your own personal marching band. Or throwing a bumping shindig. At Verizon, we’re doing all that in the form of special military offers. That’s why this month only, we’re giving military and veteran families a $200 Verizon gift card and a phone on us with a select trade-in and a new line on select unlimited plans.

SPEAKER 04 :
Welcome to The Good News with Angie Austin. Now with The Good News, here’s Angie.
SPEAKER 08 :
Hey, it’s Angie Austin and Jim Stovall. Today is my lucky day because I get to talk to Jim Stovall. I love our time together, Jim. It’s so much fun. You’re my favorite interview in the United States of America, including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, you’re very, very kind. And as you would know, we met more than a decade ago when I was doing hundreds and hundreds of radio interviews for one of my books. And I formed an addiction to Angie Austin very quickly, so I’m glad to do these every week.
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s the best. All right, so this week we’re talking about your column titled Self-Standards. So tell us what you’re teaching us this week, Jim.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, we all live up to standards, and we talked in a recent conversation about having a higher standard, moving the standard up. And I think, you know, I’m like anyone else. I don’t like people putting restrictions and deadlines and all those things on me. I don’t like those any better than anybody else. So the thing I do to avoid that is I come up with my own standard. You know, my taxes are not due April 15th, and then we always get an extension to October 15th. But mine are not due. The extension is not due April 15th. It’s due April 1st. And my final tax return in my meeting with my accountants is on October 1st, even though I have until October 15th. That’s for everybody else. That’s not my problem. I mean, I set my own standards. And people that I see who are successful in life, they have a standard for things that can cause problems. You know, how much am I going to eat? How much am I going to sleep? How much am I going to drink? How much am I going to exercise? They have a standard for all these things. that they impose on themselves. Nobody’s telling them what to do. They put a standard on themselves. And one of the things I like about my morning routine, and most people who are successful have some kind of routine, is I get up in the morning before 4 o’clock, and there’s no excuse at 4 in the morning. No one’s interrupting me. No one’s bothering me. And if I don’t do the things I set out to do, I get no one to blame but me. But it’s my own standard. I set it up. And It’s important that we be true to ourselves because if I lie to me, I’ll lie to you. And the real lies are the ones we tell ourselves. And we don’t fail because we don’t know what to do, Angie. We fail because we don’t do what we know. Most times when we make a mistake or we stumble or we do something we shouldn’t have done, if we’re really honest with ourselves, we can look back and say, you know, I knew better than that. Very rarely does the truth trip us up because we didn’t know about it. It trips us up because we didn’t act upon it. We didn’t do what we were supposed to do. So I think having your own standards is really, really important. And for years, I traveled with a young lady named Nancy. She owned a multi-million dollar multinational company, and I consulted with her. And she traveled with you? Oh, yeah. Nancy and I, Angie, we went everywhere.
SPEAKER 08 :
No, that was a Freudian slip, because I’ll get to be the traveler someday. When I retire from radio, I’ll be your traveler.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, I traveled with her, but I was doing her events. I mean, you’ve got to know that these were people in her corporation I was speaking to, but we haven’t traveled together. And she always… To this day, she looks like a fashion model. She’s gorgeous, and she’s a great advertisement for her own company. And I said, have you ever had trouble with your fitness, with your weight, with exercise? No, no. And after, when you travel with someone day in, day out, you get to know their habits pretty well. She was always up early, working out in the hotel suite or in the gym downstairs. And then, you know… I started finding her rules, you know. I said, hey, do you want some bread? No, I only have one piece a day. Do you want another drink? No, I only have one glass. And I said, you got a rule for everything? She said, yeah. But it’s my own rule. I don’t impose it on anybody else. I just, you know, it’s what I do. And, you know, I find that most people who are successful, they have those rules. And, you know, when I meet with my attorneys at the end of every year, You know, I said, hey, I appreciate you guys setting this up for me. Every year, right after we shut down for the holidays, you know, we sit down and go through wills, estates, trusts, all my contracts and everything else. And he said, well, this is the thing we do. A lot of our successful clients want to do this. And you find that people who are successful, they have placed these standards on themselves. And, you know, I remember I did an event with Billy Graham once, and I got to talk with him. What an amazing guy. I mean, Jim, a farmer –
SPEAKER 08 :
a farmer’s kid who became the pastor to so many great presidents. I almost got to go to his library two weeks ago, but it was closed. But anyway, yes, that man’s amazing.
SPEAKER 02 :
Oh, yeah. And I was talking to him and I introduced him to the young lady who was traveling with me on that particular event. And, you know, he introduced me to a guy he was with and his wife was over there. And I said, look, I is it true that you have not been alone with a woman other than your wife in 50 years? He said, yeah, that’s correct.
SPEAKER 07 :
Amazing.
SPEAKER 02 :
And I said, explain why. And he said, well, it’s a rule I put on myself. Nobody else does. But he said, I just feel like this is what I’m supposed to do. I’m called to do this in my life. And, you know, he said, I can’t risk it all because he said, she said, somebody said, somebody’s got a photo or whatever. And obviously I’m here with a young lady and Crystal’s on a trip to Europe. And he said, well, if I were you, I would do what you’re doing. No, I have no problem with that. It’s just that I’m in the ministry and I don’t get a second chance. I mean, he said in the first century, Jim. They used to feed Christians to the lions, and now he said, we just eat each other is all we do. We don’t need the lions. We attack one another. And he said, I have to be above reproach. I have to be bulletproof. And he said, this is how I do it. I just cannot. He said, look at the other major ministers who were brought down due to a scandal. And if anybody says anything about me, We just pulled out the calendar and said, who was with Dr. Graham at that time? And we always have a standard. And I thought, what an amazing thing. And, you know, it extends to everybody. And I’m not saying, you know, if you’re… You know, you have a standard for what you eat, you drink, how much you sleep, and your exercise. Hey, you go on vacation. Yeah, you give yourself a break. You do what you do. It’s your standard. You get to set the rules. But, you know, and people tell me, Jim, I don’t like to have a standard. Well, then the law and other people and your employer, they’ll put a standard on you. If you don’t set one on yourself, someone else will set it, and I’d just rather have my own.
SPEAKER 08 :
I love it. I love it. All right, so what do you want our takeaway to be from this week’s column, Self-Standards?
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, I think what I would like – think about the most important things in your life and think about what you know to do. We all know how to be healthier, wealthier, happier. We all know things we could do to do that. And I would encourage you to think about those things and set a standard yourself. Make a rule for yourself that you have to be the only one that knows about it. And then start living your life by your rules instead of somebody else’s. It’s amazing when you live life on your own terms. And it’s so much easier. If someone told me, Jim, you’ve got to get up at 4 o’clock and start exercising and then go through all these routines, I thought, you’re crazy. I’m not doing that. But, no, it’s my standard. It’s my standard.
SPEAKER 08 :
I love it. JimStoval.com, such a blessing to have you on the show. Every week you give me a little boost of inspiration. Thank you, friend. You’re the best.
SPEAKER 02 :
Be well.
SPEAKER 08 :
Thank you. Always love talking to Jim Stovall. You know, I mentioned, I’m sure over the last decade, several times that golden list that his grandmother gave to him that he was, especially when he was going blind and he’d come to his grandma with his complaints or, worries and stressors. And she’d say, I will listen to all of your worries, complaints, et cetera, after you do your golden list. So I want you to write down the 10 things you’re thankful for. And to this day, he still does the golden list every day. I know because sometimes I’m on it and sometimes he’s on mine. I cut it down for my kids down to five. And when I’d always tell the kids when grandma was angry, when she was driving them to school, when they were younger and to say, hey, grandma, let’s do the golden list. What are you thankful for? And it would immediately change her mood. Speaking of grandma living with us, you know, I really take her to a lot of a doctor’s appointments and make sure that she has all of her vaccines. And I don’t know if you are aware of this, but 1.4 million Americans go to the emergency room with pneumonia and 40,000 die from this vaccine preventable disease each year. Seriously, 40,000. So joining us is an expert in the area. Bob Blancato is joining us. Bob is the executive director with the National Association of Nutrition and Aging Services Programs. And I just really like to get in medical advice, good news, prevention, health. And I think that a lot of times we overlook some of these vaccines. I did get my mom the pneumonia vaccine, but I didn’t get it. But I’m getting, I’m sure, to the age when I’m supposed to be more aware of these things too. So just a quick interview to really, you know, give you some simple facts and a simple way to prevent pneumonia, keep yourself healthy, keep yourself out of the ER with pneumonia, and from becoming one of those stats of the 40,000 who die from vaccine preventable disease, that vaccine preventable disease each year. So joining us now, Bob Blancato. Welcome, Bob. All right, Bob. So why is pneumococcal disease a serious threat to adults? Explain that to us.
SPEAKER 01 :
Most of all, it’s a common bacterial infection that causes mild complications. But for some people, it can lead to very serious illnesses like pneumonia. And we know in this country that we’re 1.4 million hospital visits are resulting from pneumonia and up to 40,000 deaths occur. So this is a very serious issue that we want to address today through talking about vaccines.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right. What should adults know about current vaccine recommendations?
SPEAKER 01 :
Well, mostly good things to talk about. One is the Centers for Disease Control late last year now recommends pneumococcal vaccines for all adults age 50 and over, not just people 65 and over. Pneumococcal vaccines can be administered with other vaccines such as shingles, flu or RSV vaccines at the same time during a health care visit. And Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurance cover the cost of pneumococcal vaccines, and they can be given at any time of the year. And so having all these options make it clear that people can pursue these vaccines and should do so as quickly as possible.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, Bob, let’s talk about why vaccines are an important part of preventative care to help all adults stay healthy.
SPEAKER 01 :
Well, first of all, getting vaccinated can shorten, should you actually have to go to a hospital, it can shorten your hospital stay considerably. But it could probably avert the hospital stay to begin with. And it also helps to reduce other medical costs that could you know, compared if you didn’t get vaccinated. And the idea is that, you know, you should not wait until you have some of the symptoms that could lead to pneumonia. The opportunity is available all year long to get the vaccine. And if you have any doubt, you know, get the vaccine and, you know, then be comfortable knowing that you have been vaccinated and you have less chance of contracting pneumococcal disease.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right. What else should adults 50 plus know about steps that they can take to protect their health?
SPEAKER 01 :
The answer is all about prevention. Let’s start with the vaccines. Keeping up with your recommended vaccines like pneumococcal and shingles and making sure you’re on track with recommended screenings. You know, we know that by age 50, all women should have had a breast cancer screening and all adults should have been screened for colorectal cancer. Preventative care, it’s all the critical issue, like regular checkups and screenings can catch health issues early when they’re easier and cheaper to treat and manage. And vaccines and screenings aren’t just about avoiding illness. They’re about protecting your independence and staying active. And just we need to make sure that people are aware of the vaccine policies that we have and the ability to get as many vaccines as possible without cost being incurred to the individual.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, great information today, Bob Lontado. Thank you so much for joining us. Where can we go to learn more?
SPEAKER 01 :
I’ll give you two locations, NANAS, National Association of Nutrition and Aging Service Programs, www.nanas.org slash vaccines, or the CDC site, the Centers for Disease Control site, cdc.gov slash pneumococcal.
SPEAKER 08 :
Excellent. Again, thank you, Bob, for joining us on The Good News with Angie Austin. Have a great day.
SPEAKER 01 :

SPEAKER 08 :
Rocky Ford is tuned to the mighty 670 KLT. Hey there, friend. Angie Austin here with the Good News. Well, he is back, Scott Montgomery, author of How Did You Get Here? Lessons of Unconventional Success. And we decided we’re going to keep having Scott come back about once a month, and we’re going to go over the chapters of the book and kind of break down success and how you got here in life and these lessons of unconventional success. Welcome back, Scott.
SPEAKER 06 :
Thank you, Angie. It’s such a pleasure to be here, and I’m so looking forward to it.
SPEAKER 08 :
Now, give everyone just a little snippet, if they didn’t hear our first interview, just how you got to where you are because your path was unconventional.
SPEAKER 06 :
It really was. And as it was unconventional, I was trying to figure out a way that I could pay that forward to other folks who feel like maybe their path is a little unconventional. So during COVID and in the process of some of life’s changes, I decided to put pen to paper and start to unpack those lessons. As I’m older in my career and starting to look at retirement years ahead, I thought, how can I capture what was unconventional and make it conventional for my readers and for the next generation. So I put pen to paper and created a book, and I think it’s going over well for folks. And I’m excited to talk about its different chapters and the different things that I found drove some of the successes that I’m experiencing today.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right. You’ve talked a lot about the people you work with and some of them you work with many years ago and how important all of those connections are. So let’s just start, you know, we’ve got chapter one is partnership, two relationships, three habits, four goals. We’ll be going through all of those, but let’s see how far we get today in partnership from how did you get here?
SPEAKER 06 :
So what I did with partnerships was I started at home base, and I really went into the deep dive on how my wife and I, who is also the president of the company that I’m the chief customer officer at, really created a partnership over the last 20 years to manage kids, manage ourselves and our own interests, manage the finances, and do it all successfully. And so I dedicated a chapter to what did we do in our relationship in hindsight that people might want to consider doing for their relationships Or as I put them, partnerships in their world to drive some of their successes. And at the end of the chapter, I put five questions to the reader that sort of drive the instigation of what are you doing to be in good partnership? And I think it’s going over well. So that first chapter is mostly about home base.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right, so when you say partnership, exactly. You’re talking about home and how it’s important that things flow well there in order to do well in business. But I just have to ask you a quick question because we’re kind of in the same kid stage. You said 20 years. Have you guys been married 20 years?
SPEAKER 06 :
We’re going to be 24. We got married in 2000. We’re going to be 24 years married. We dated for four years before that. Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, so did we, and we were at 20 years of marriage just a few days ago.
SPEAKER 06 :
What’s your birthday? Because I swear we’re living the exact same parallel life.
SPEAKER 08 :
I know our kids are getting their driver’s license. You just went for a driver’s license test. I’m going today with one of my kids. Your son just graduated. My son just graduated. I mean, it is pretty funny. We’re definitely dealing with the same things in our home base. Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, and that partnership is really important, and I think people underestimate its power.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yes, I agree. I think they do underestimate its power because I’ve thought before, if things aren’t going well at home, I don’t know how anything else can go well. So I think it just trickles its ugly veins into everything if things are going poorly at home. So give us some of your tips for Chapter 1 partnership.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, so what comes up for me in our conversation, and you just said it yourself, was I really did not rush the marriage card. I dated for four years, and I think you just said you did as well. And we really unpacked where we were in life and what we wanted in life, and we really worked on our communication. And when we got married, we had vowed divorce was not an option. So we said that word isn’t to be used in fights, and it’s not to be used. And it sounds all quintessential and wonderful, but it’s actually a true commitment to to what we did when we decided to get married. And we actually started our life together in a separate than where either of us grew up place to create that sort of fresh start or new foundation. And I think for me, that’s what comes up in that initial tip of really vet out what it is you’re looking for in a partner. And then further, for Kate and I, my wife’s name is Caitlin, and I call her Katie. Kate is very much a string to my kite. We very, we very much carried two different roles in our world. She definitely grounds my visionary and she’s very tactical and very implementing and very, I’m very strategic and I’m out there trying to find the next best thing. And she’s very like, what does that mean? How do we apply it? How do we integrate it? And she doesn’t start with no. So it’s not an oppressive thing, but I refer to it as a kite and string. I’m flying up in the air and she’s got the string kind of keeping me grounded. And I think that’s a really nice balance for us that I tell stories about in the book.
SPEAKER 08 :
Now, how do you and you can tell one of the stories here, too. How do you manage it when the string wants to take the kite somewhere the kite doesn’t want to go? I mean, there’s lots of like, you know, my husband liked me working full time in TV news. I made good money and I was a big contributor. And now when I do radio, I make a fraction of what I used to make and I don’t work that many hours. And yeah. I’m with the kids a lot more than he is able to be with the kids, and that wasn’t his choice, I don’t think, but he’s adjusted to it. He’s flown his kite to my string, but he wouldn’t have wanted to go in that direction, but now that it is, he’s fine with it, but I thought he’d really be bothered by… He loved that I was a good contributor and that I was good with my money and that I saved a lot for retirement and that I owned properties over the years and paid cash for my cars and didn’t drive brand new cars. And he liked all that frugal stuff I did to save. So I figured, oh, he’s not going to like this. In fact, when I would say, well, I want to work part-time or I want to retire, he’d say, well, I want to retire. Well, I don’t think that’s really solving. I was not solving my issue. That was not every time I brought it up. Oh, I’d like to work part time or retire or spend more time with the kids. Well, I’d like to retire. And so I’m like, OK, that’s not saying it’s OK for me to do that. So what do you do when I just kind of eventually did it? It kind of was decided for me as my career changed and things cut back. So it gradually kind of happened to me, regardless of what he wanted. And then I accepted it. I didn’t go out and look for another big, you know, 50 hour a week job.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, you know, what’s funny about what you’re talking about for me is that I have a lot of friends in our age group who have brought with them, I’m losing the word, the ability to pivot, right? The unforeseen and the unexpected. And just the other day, a friend of mine said, well, my husband isn’t working right now. I’ve told him to go get a job. But realizing what the summer is going to hold with my kids and my career, and I’m the breadwinner. It’s just better he doesn’t even look for a job right now. And quite frankly, we both then chuckled and said, can you imagine saying that 20 years ago? So, you know, just the ability to pivot and the ability to weigh the options that are laid out in front of you are so key. And one of the other things that I was going to say around that is that we’re going to go over chapter six, communication and how you actually communicate your needs and desires and how that really does impact how you drive the future.
SPEAKER 08 :
And it can be all the difference in the world. My cousin has the most stubborn husband. And when I say like, oh, well, let’s go to Florida with the cousins in February. Yeah. And we used to do it almost every year. And she’s like, well, I’ve got to plant the seed. So like six months before, and then she goes, I have to work on him for a while. Like six months before we do something, she’d plant the seed. And then I think she just kind of like, it’s like gnawing on an ear of corn. She’d gradually gnaw him down. And then he finally, and then she would have to like make every meal. Make every dessert. Place it in the freezer with a note. This is how you warm this up. This is the day you eat this by yourself, taking care of only you. I am going to map out each of your days the way I do when I am at home.
SPEAKER 06 :
And then finally… That’s good communication right there, isn’t it?
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh my gosh. He thinks he’s running the show, but she is. It just takes her a very, very long time to run it.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. No, and I think that is a form of communication. Whether or not you and I would want that form of communication is a different story. It would be exhausting. I can’t imagine. And we all have to bring that sort of ability to pivot. But what it sounds like for me and what you’re describing too is, quite frankly, my kids are better served by their mom being more available than their dad. I can’t remember all the things that moms bring in their genetic coding that is supporting those kids more effectively. And that has a cost. And that cost is a better reward in my children than it is a dollar sign in my checking account. And I think that’s the parallel you’re in, too. And now, while Caitlin is the president of WorldGate, we were very succinct in what the roles here would be. She’s the president. She’s a co-founder. But she’s also in charge of finance and HR, which creates flexibility for doctor’s appointments and kid demands. I’m sales and marketing and operation. I’ve got to deliver and I’ve got to do it around my customer, which means I’ve got to get on a plane and go somewhere. then now we’ve communicated that well and we charted that out up front. And it has its…
SPEAKER 08 :
potholes but yes it has this pot it always does but then you just somebody’s better driving around the potholes or filling them than the other but it’s interesting to me because I just did an interview with the author of men are like spaghetti women are like no sorry men are like waffles women are like spaghetti and I only got to interview Bill the waffle and not and not Pam the spaghetti but it’s interesting because he talks about men and how each square of the waffle like you only work on the one square and And when you finish that square, you move on to the next square. But women, everything in their lives are connected and they can do a bunch of things at once. And like just as you were talking, saying about multitasking, I’m like, oh, we need eggs. So I wrote down eggs, you know, like it’s just.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yes, yes, yes, yes. It’s a gift. I mean, you know, recognize your gifts and your partner. Right, right, right. And play to those strengths. And what is the outcome? I wanted healthy kids. I wanted kids that had access to their mom. She wanted to be more of a mom than a business person. We still needed to make money. And she also still didn’t want to detach from the working world.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 06 :
You know, and we could do that all when we got a client base versus being an employer. And that was part of the strategy of even opening Worldgate, which is also one of the chapters of our book later at the end. We talk about the firm and how it’s developed, but. You’d be surprised, and people who are listening today would be surprised how many clients respect that model as well.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, I believe that.
SPEAKER 06 :
And how much they in themselves are trying to map their employment as a client to that model by engaging our services that brings that model. So it’s fascinating. All right.
SPEAKER 08 :
If you are just joining us and we’re talking to Scott Montgomery, how did you get here is the book. How did you get here? Lessons of unconventional success because, you know, Scott’s path was unconventional. All right. So you said you had examples in chapter one partnership. We’re talking about starting your success at home, at your home base. And in your particular case, you’re married. So any examples that you gave us in the book that you might want to share with us?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, I think for us and I think what we were chatting about is the communication aspect and the personality awareness and the demand and desires of what we wanted to do were talked about up front. And so there was deliberate conversation around how we were going to invest our time, how we wanted to raise our children, and how we were going to map these things out. And people don’t always appreciate that’s a very tactical conversation for us that we found success as a result of having. It wasn’t, I was just sort of morphed and I didn’t know what she expected and she didn’t know what I expected. We were very deliberate and we were very succinct in what we did and how we rolled out. We also rolled out our roles and responsibilities in that so that we felt a little bit of ownership around what we brought to the table. So I don’t impose on what finance and HR, they tell me what I can spend and how many people I can hire and what I do. And at home, she tells me where I need to be and what doctor’s appointment I have to drive the kid to or She tells me where to be and when, and I don’t try and…
SPEAKER 08 :
disrupt that it just it just shows me Scott how similar men and women are because my husband he got sick of seeing the whole schedule and so like it’s because it’s complicated I mean yesterday Hope had three practices Riley had one and he had to be at CU and he had to be at his job and the other had two practices and they’re all at different locations so that’s five six seven seven locations so he just said look I just need to know where I need to be at what time that’s right
SPEAKER 06 :
That’s right. And so on the flip side of that, he’ll make sure you have enough money to afford the gas.
SPEAKER 08 :
