Napoleon Hill: from Appalachian Roots to Riches with Executive Director Don Green Part I

What did you think of this episode?

Long before Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, became a global bestselling author, he was a poor boy from Pound, VA in the mountains of Wise County, running through the woods with a rifle, stirring up trouble. His stepmother bought him a typewriter and the rest is history. His groundbreaking book Think and Grow Rich has sold millions of copies, and is still cited by some of the world's wealthiest businesspeople, U.S. presidents, and celebrities as the inspiration for their journeys. In Part I of this episode series, I'm talking with Don Green (also from Wise County), who is Executive Director of the Napoleon Hill Foundation and knows the most about Hill's influence, which has remained constant for nearly a century. A success story himself, Don shares what he has learned from Hill's principles of success, which has resulted in several books and invitations worldwide to share his expertise.

Fixin' to, the A-Prefix and Twelve Days of Christmas, and an Excerpt from Verna Mae Slone's "How We Talked"

What did you think of this episode?

In this episode, I research the history of "Fixin' to" (as in "I'm fixin' to put up the holiday decorations.) Add the very old (middle English) dialect feature "a-prefix" and you've got "I'm a-fixin' to put up the holiday decorations.) Then, I'll tell you about the link between our dialect and "The Twelve Days of Christmas" song (bet you didn't know you're Talking Appalachian when you sing it). Finally, listen for an excerpt from Knott County, KY native Verna Mae Slone's book How We Talked, a book she published later in her life that preserves so much of her eastern KY dialect.
