Kevin Foster

Dream Big and Serve Others, with Kevin Foster, Actor, Producer, and Founder of Foster Dreams (Hello Self…, Episode 65)

In this episode of Hello Self…, host Patricia Leonard introduced Kevin Foster, an extraordinary individual with a story that exemplifies turning dreams into reality.

Kevin shared his incredible journey from surviving electrocution to becoming a successful actor, breaking Guinness World Records, and cycling the Great Wall of China. He discussed his formula for success, emphasizing desire, determination, and discipline, and the importance of serving others.

Kevin also talked about his charitable work through his nonprofit Foster Dreams, inspiring young and old alike to pursue their dreams with a servant’s heart.

A video version of this conversation is available on Patricia’s YouTube Channel here.

Kevin Foster, Actor, Producer, and Founder of Foster Dreams

Kevin Foster
Kevin Foster, Actor, Producer, and Founder of Foster Dreams

Since his electrocution and return from death in 1968, Kevin has devoted his life to turning his dreams into reality. At age 16, he became a professional actor, and worked steadily for the next decade in theatre, both On and Off Broadway in New York, as well as in film. Training in his chosen profession consisted of: The American Academy of Dramatic Arts; The Actor’s Studio; The HB Studio; and with Stella Adler, all in New York City.

In 1989, Kevin burst onto the national scene when he broke the near-impossible Guinness World Record of traveling the entire length of the New York Subway system in 26 hours, 21minutes, 08 seconds. A year later, he followed up that accomplishment with becoming the first and only person to ride a bicycle, from one end to the other, atop the Great Wall of China, covering some 2000 miles, and earning the 1990 Cyclist of the Year award over his friend, 3-time Tour de France champion, Greg LeMond.

Needless to say, Kevin took a serious detour from his acting career. The 90s became one rollercoaster ride after another for Kevin when he followed up the “last, greatest cycling adventure on the face of the earth” With the AMERICAN SUMMITS tour of placing a full scale mountain bike atop the highest natural point in each of the 50 united States, and the tip-to-tip, 1158-mile, TOUR de CUBA, the longest bicycle trek in that nation’s history.

Upon retiring from a career in adventure cycling in 1998, Kevin devoted much of his time to charity work before returning to his acting roots in 2004, adding Producing and Writing credits to his list with his debut feature film, Yesterday’s Dreams. He followed that project by producing the feature length documentary, Hollywood on Fire, as well as producing the music CD, Saber Bytes, which held the #1 spot on college radio throughout North America during the Summer of 2009.

Men's Poetry Night

Sparking Creativity and Self-Discovery with Robert P. Waters, Author of Men’s Poetry Night (Hello, Self… Episode 57)

In this episode, host Patricia Leonard talked with guest Robert P. Waters, an author who turned his pandemic downtime into a creative venture called Men’s Poetry Night.

Robert shared his background, the journey from job loss to becoming a prolific writer, and the story behind his latest book. Patricia and Robert talked about self-discovery, community, and the therapeutic power of poetry.

The conversation focused on the importance of turning dreams into plans, getting creative, and finding common ground. Robert also shared insights about his book’s potential for a movie adaptation and its message of inclusion and genuine fellowship among men in a small-town setting.

Hello, Self… is presented by Patricia Leonard & Associates  and produced by Arlia Hoffman in association with the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX®.

A video version of this conversation is available on Patricia’s YouTube Channel here.

Robert P. Waters, Author of Men’s Poetry Night

Robert P. Waters, Author of “Men’s Poetry Night”

Robert P. Waters began writing during a prolonged job search in the Great Recession of 2008.

Two sparks were lit at the same time: one for fiction and one non-fiction; the later due to his convictions about hiring processes witnessed in his job search. Technology and culture remain key subjects in his books yet another monumental world-order change motivated him to write his first-ever humorous take about small-town life during the Covid-19 pandemic.

With more time to create, Waters began envisioning a blue collar town driven by strong family and culture and hard workers with a love for nature. The idea became poetry, that is, men who began to write poetry and share it. Where? Up at the Assembly Hall of a closed mining operation. Men’s Poetry Night expanded conceptually by entertaining the reader with small stories about the men – young and old – who wrote verse about everything: their wives, their experiences, their memories of youthful sweethearts and hunting.

Readers have described the book as being “almost real” as Waters taps his imagination right into the clear water of small town life, waiting for the end of covid19, always with a laugh.
