OneLegUpAlex Adapts With 'Keep Chewing the Granite!' Author Bernard 'Chalky' White - Powered By Podmatch (Recorded 10-27-25)

My Guest Bernard ‘Chalky’ White is an internationally renowned ski instructor, #1 best-selling author of ‘The 7 Secrets of Skiing and inspirational speaker. Available on Amazon (https://tinyurl.com/3cuzn3e4) is Chalky’s new, motivational memoir, “KEEP CHEWING THE GRANITE!” - How 2 Questions Can Change Your Life. They really changed his! The ‘Takeaways’ from every short story are aimed at dreamers and potential goal achievers looking for impetus to overcome, even very serious, adversity. A key aspect; Author Chalky, rather than writing a straight up memoir felt it very important to offer something that could truly help readers and others overcome procrastination, self and third party naysaying or almost any other kind of adversity. Why would he do that? If his 2 Question solution could and did work for him, it can and will work for anyone who dares or cares to use it. Also, of course. Chalky’s memoir full of diverse adventures has plenty for those who simply enjoy true, sometimes heart wrenching, intriguing, sad to funny stories. Chalky and I will discuss how to use his simple but effective solution. He might even tell you the odd story.
