Dan Kobylka is offering hope (and some laughs)

Do you need a dose of encouragement?DAN KOBYLKA is both the everyman, but an extraordinary man. He visits homeless encampments on a regular basis. He ministers to those on the margins of society — people who are struggling with addiction or mental illness. He eulogized an otherwise nameless drug overdose victim. And Dan continues his mission to serve those who might otherwise be left behind. Ever since receiving his first heart transplant nearly 40 years ago, Dan has made it his life's purpose to help others and to honor the life of his donor, Lee.If you listened to Episode No. 8 (Oct 2, 2023) or Ep. 21 (Dec 24, 2023), you got a glimpse into the mind & soul and remarkable life of Dan Kobylka. He's finally back on Ep. 106 of the Dan Time Podcast with his trademark wit, humor and gift of storytelling and inspiring others.Dan shares an update in the love department; a recent injury setback; and he talks about a former Indiana football player he has come to know whose life today is far removed from his collegiate days. As a Detroit & Toronto sports fan, we cover the 2025 World Series, NFL playoffs and fantasy football!35 years ago, Dan brought Challenger Baseball, a program serving special needs children & adults, to Chatham; and this month, registration opens in his community for the newly-launched Challenger Soccer program.Be sure to download, subscribe & tell a friend about the Dan Time Podcast!Stay tuned for the "back half" (30 mins) of our conversation to be released soon.Also be sure to subscribe to the Dan Time YouTube channel to see the video version as soon as it is posted! https://www.youtube.com/@DanTimePodhttps://www.instagram.com/dantimepod/Check out these links on Dan & the Challenger Soccer program:https://www.chathamdailynews.ca/news/local-news/kobylka-honoured-for-helping-make-baseball-accessible-to-players-of-all-abilitieshttps://www.facebook.com/communitylivingchathamkent/posts/chatham-soccer-is-introducing-a-new-challenger-soccer-programin-person-registrat/1267671288733949/

Holiday BONUS (2025 vs 2000)

Happy Holidays from Dan Time!! Back for a quick BONUS episode, a ramble-sode, if you will. Take a listen and consider the exponential changes in the way we go about our business in 2025 versus 25 years ago. Have you had some trouble "feeling" merry & bright this year? How has daily communication & media changed - and is it working for you or would you like to shrug off at least some of it??A few things we did not have in our lives in 2000:-smartphones-social media-apps upon apps upon apps-texts with chat bubbles & emojis-junk texts & calls every day-work emails at home (for most)-the need to stay on top of it allWas everyday living more fun in 2000? Or were the ups & downs the same? TUNE IN to hear my thoughts on the matter! And stay tuned for a follow-up episode before the New Year. Thanks for listening to the show!!dantimepod@gmail.com@dantimepodIntro music by Danny Cole™
