Good morning...
I hope everyone remembered to put their clocks ahead one hour in the U.S. for Daylight Savings Time.... Well here, it's 1:44 AM so we don't push them ahead for another 15 minutes and yes I'm up talking to you !
So in case you wonder why some posts go up on Friday, some on Sat. and some on Sunday....
In case you wonder why some are in the morning or evening, why some are in the wee morning or evening and some are somewhere in between that....
I say this - I need to be inspired.... Even after the interview. No matter what is going on
OUTSIDE of the blog post, my interview has to attach itself to something that inspires me...and in turn I hope inspires you....
No inspiration could come greater to me than thinking of my newest friend and business associate,
GERI PETITO.
Left Geri Petito/ Right Ava Holly ( The Balcony Blogger)
It's funny how Geri and I met. Giving you the cliff notes version.... we were at a show for an ETA
( are you tracking with me? If you read my posts you should know that ETA stands for
Elvis Tribute Artist.... )
Well Geri was at this show and I was at this show yet we didn't meet then.....
When we finally DID meet, it was a bit of an awakening when we realized that we saw each other at the ETA show yet weren't destined to meet then..... funny.... met that very same ETA in the same manner.....
Moving forward, we will connect all of this eerie stuff at the end.... for now, let's move to the interview.... one of the first things that came out of Geri's mouth when I was speaking with her was the K.Y. W.....
So what is the K.Y. W. and how does it all connect.....???
Let's get back to the interview....
I have to share that this particular interview was done LIVE on Geri's Radio show , which is also live-streamed on Face Book.... Geri made ME the host and she was my guest ! How fun. Being in radio for many years, I felt right at home...yet i was still interviewing the Queen of Hamilton Radio, Geri Petito....
I found out that Geri studied to become a Vegan Chef
When Geri was diagnosed with Cancer, she decided to take charge and found ways to heal herself through eating differently, making changes in her lifestyle and holding fast to her non-wavering faith.
Geri considers herself a Nutritional Health /Life coach where she helps others get through addiction and disease through her knowledge and experiences. She has even authored a book to reflect her situations and circumstances... a great read .
One of the things Geri said to me is that she should have done this radio "gig" a long time ago.... I stick to the.... everything happens for a reason philosophy.... LOL....hence my eerie meetings with both Geri and Richie.... ( Richie Santa ETA)
Geri touches on some heavy topics yet tries to keep her show filled with fun/humor and humility....well most of the time.... LOL
Sometimes the guests are just out of control !!! "Cut their Mic's Geno"
Geri has her radio show on Tues. and Thurs. eve's beginning at 5PM... the show is also live streamed on Face Book so you can catch it.... or catch it later there....
One of the things I love about Geri is her giving heart. She is an Elvis lover like I am and I guess we are attracted to those who feel the same way we do.... Like minds
and all that !
So let me speak on that giving heart.... Just as an example....Geri has given 3 of her Thurs. shows out to some very cool people. So she will run her Thurs. show once a month and on the other 3 months, these are the shows you can check out.... On the first Thurs. it's the Mr., Mr. Panting of Mr. Panting Productions on "Teens With Dreams" A show focusing on the positive goals and dreams for Teens and what some of our amazing Teen-agers are doing...or going to be doing....
The last Thurs. of the month will feature Sal Angioletti with "Taker 2 takes over NJ" A show inside the wrestling World.
Geri will have a show on Thurs. and the other Thurs. will be hosted by Megan Malfi of Top Cat Productions
I'm not sure what Megan's show will entail ...yet I can tell you that her work with Top Cat productions helps Teens/ Young Adults with opportunities in Music and Theatre ( oooohhhh right up my alley) Megan also has a Face Book page called My Bi-Polar Rules so check out Megan there as well.
Of course, you can find out info on any of my blogs by reaching out to me on Face Book ( Ava Holly Public Figure) -- or at my website

Now back to Geri and the K.Y. W....
Let's link it all up now.... I see Doug Church at an ETA event--never met him. Go to Graceland and add my monthly ETA segment here... I meet Richie Santa at some event someplace and never really met him.... Found out I was friends with Richie at Face Book for quite some time.... go to his show to do the very first ETA interview for my blog segment.... see Geri there yet never met her..... Get some names from Richie for my blog....Jimmy Elvis ( Jimmy T. as Elvis), Walt Sanders, Peter Alden to name a few .... ( Find them all at Face Book) I speak with Doug Church on the phone for the 2nd Interview, I meet Jimmy Elvis for the 3rd Iterview and speak with Peter Alden and Walt Sanders by Face Book and telephone.... From there, I connect with other ETA's etc.... I meet Dave Weiskopf through Geri, along with DJ Dani, Gene Pierro, Jesus Santiago and Michele Marzano to name a few....Michele also knows another Tribute artist that I know in HER field.... Geri meets Marco Panting at one of our meetings. I then introduce her to Felicia Reed of Females without Fear.....
Find Felicia on Face Biook - Felicia L. Reed
Put it in Perspective and Females without Fear
I met Felicia through our Women on TV network and now have introduced Geri to that platform
Geri has also been a guest on MY show Ava's Casual Chat which is coming up this 4th Thurs. at 2:00 EST
I then tell her about David Silverman, local Chef who will be a guest on Geri's show soon....
Between Geri and Richie I meet Sal Angioletti, Frankie "Sweets", Gene, Dave, Michele, Megan,etc...and I can't forget Krista Joy, Sandy Delvillar, and Kathy Cossu...... whew can I get through it all???
Now let's get to the K.Y. W., as Geri so well put it,
KNOW YOUR WORTH
Remember that people come into your life for a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime....people do business with people they know like and trust...
MY worth is in the people I choose to surround myself with .....building relationships with my connections.... this is so true when it comes to Geri Petito....
So there's 6 degrees of separation ( or of Kevin Bacon if you know how to play that one) and then there is
GERI PETITO
I say this because we have taken these particular relationships to , not only business contacts and connections, yet to friendships that are worth GOLD.
By the way, last week, Geri had her Birthdy Bash on the radio and invited me.... Richie Santa was there performing along with Jesus Santiago, Michele Marzano as "Marilyn" and Frankie Sweets on keyboards...Call ins were............ Jimmy Elvis, Peter Alden, Walt Sanders to name a few.....
ETA's I have already done blog posts on.....
Catch us on Hamilton Radio on March 20th promoting the new Thursday shows with special guest.... ME.... and special host pre-viewing for HIS show....Marco Panting.....
Know Your Worth ....what gives it Value to enrich your life and the lives of others?.... I can tell you what gives mine that value and enrichment................
GERI PETITO
Order her book, find her on Face Book, catch her show and be amazed.....
