There we were, Glen and I. Littleboxes on a Zoom screen separated us.       Onceor sometimes twice a week. The boxes kept moving, changing our view. Never hada conversation. But admiration for his author’s journey and Southern Californialife. Then universal alignment. We chatted on Zoom two weeks ago to getacquainted. I was in awe at Glen’s journey. Several times from the heart, Isaid there is a movie to be made about his life. He’s wonderfully eloquent,charming, brilliant, worldly, and knowledgeable beyond. Of course, thisinterview was born. Some elements and words now. As a kid, a friend had amimeograph machine (see Animal House). Glen begins writing a newspaper. Marinebiology. Meat cutter. Los Angeles Fire Department paramedic, captain, disasterpreparedness. Manuals for FEMA. Motorcycling the country in 1976. Scuba diving.A brave new world. Glen discussed the Implicate Order (David Bohm). Look it up.Now he’s writing futuristic novels. Loved the cover of ‘Tears of a ThousandYears.’ He loves Groundhog Day. Me too. Be curious. Not judgmental. He stressedthe importance of always having a ½ tank of gas. “Life is uncertain. Eatdessert first.” I loved that quote from Glen. He’s coming back here for the‘Desperate Endeavor’ release. As good as it gets.” Calvin🎙️ 820+ Interviews& Videos; 5 ½ years (AI-ranked podcast in these categories in the top 1 -2%Globally!)📺 9,480Subscribers — and growing👉 Please PLEASESubscribe:https://www.youtube.com/c/ConversationswithCalvinWetheSpecIEsGLOBAL Reach.

Calif.YouTube:BIO: GLENOLSON grew up in the San Fernando Valley, a suburb of Los Angeles. He wouldhave had an absolutely normal childhood except for one fact: it was thenineteen sixties, and his best friend’s father worked in cold war aerospace . .. and the friend's father owned a mimeograph machine. So along with a dog,bicycle, and baseball mitt, Glen and friends had access to a device thatallowed them to put out a neighborhood newspaper— and they shamelessly did so!   Thisencouraged his lifelong love of writing. In his next career, Glen became aparamedic for a fire department. As part of his medical background, he tooktraining as a lay midwife. In the fire dept he had several roles, includingdisaster preparedness educator, inspector, and captain, writing trainingmanuals by day and fiction by night. Glen is atrained scuba diver and has toured the continent on a motorcycle. Today he is afulltime writer and all of his experiences tend to wind up on the pages of hisnovels. He is the author of three books and working on a fourth (and fifth).
