The Three C's-Compassionate, Calm and Caring with Guest Great Lake Freighter Captain Terry Viscount
from Should Have Listened to My Mother Podcast · host Jackie Tantillo, Terry Viscount
When Terry Viscount's parents met, his mother, Joan, was a cashier. She never worked again till after all seven kids were out of the house. Due to necessity, she took a job helping the elderly. That's what Joan was truly all about-she always put everyone else first before taking care of herself. Terry credits his mom for her calm demeanor and compassion for others. She saved her pennies wisely so she could always give a little something to others, especially around the holidays. One of her favorite things to do to relax was watch soap operas.Terry is a captain of a laker/freighter/bulk carrying self unloader and travels through a series of locks east and west along and through the Great Lakes. "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives. Jackie's guests are open and honest and answer the question, are you who you are today because of, or in spite of, your mother and so much more. You'll be amazed at what the responses are.Gina Kunadian wrote this 5 Star review on Apple Podcast:SHLTMM TESTIMONIAL GINA KUNADIAN JUNE 18, 2024“A Heartfelt and Insightful Exploration of Maternal Love”Jackie Tantillo’s “Should Have Listened To My Mother” Podcast is a treasure and it’s clear why it’s a 2023 People’s Choice Podcast Award Nominee.

Terry's worked hard and it's paid off. He's proud of his accomplishments. He's sailed down through the Gulf Coast, Mexico, Panama Canal, and California. He says, "for a kid from a small town, I got to see a lot of stuff that I never would have if I wasn't sailing"
