NEW EPISODE ALERT! 🎙 The Pete Scalia #PSNever NEW EPISODE ALERT! 🎙 The Pete Scalia #PSNeverGiveUp Podcast Episode 04: JOHN LAWSON (part one) is now LIVE! 🎧 John Lawson’s story is nothing short of incredible. The talented actor/writer/producer/director and musician is also a double amputee — but there is SO MUCH MORE to his story. Like any good story or classic comedy or tragedy… John’s story has multiple acts. As a result, I’ve broken our conversation up into two parts. In PART ONE John reflects on the tragic accident that claimed both of his hands — and the unbelievable things he’s accomplished since then. John has been a HUGE inspiration for me personally — and a great friend. In fact, he is THE first person I thought of when I came up with the concept of PSNeverGiveUp. I’m so glad to FINALLY be able to share his story with you — just before our shared birthday (January 1st) 🎉 🎙 Check out the FULL EPISODE wherever you listen to your podcasts! 📲 Support The Pete Scalia PSNeverGiveUp Podcast by visiting our ONLINE SHOP at PSNeverGiveUp.com

#MondayMotivation Just when you think you can’t, #MondayMotivation Just when you think you can’t, YOU WILL. It’s been said that many people who give up on something never realize just how close they were to accomplishing it. Whatever it is you’re working toward, don’t give up now! If you do, it’s pretty much guaranteed you’ll never get there. Just. Keep. Going. You CAN and you WILL. I believe in you. You should, too. 🙏❤️ #PSNeverGiveUp #perseverance #fortitude #inspiration
#WednesdayWisdom Take time to appreciate what you #WednesdayWisdom Take time to appreciate what you have ⌚️ Sometimes it’s easy to get SO focused on our goals or what we WANT to achieve that we lose sight of what we HAVE and what we’ve already ACCOMPLISHED. I mean, you’ve already come THIS far, haven’t you? Think about it: the things you have now are the things you wanted yesterday. We are constantly evolving. Our wants and needs change all the time. APPRECIATION is “recognition and enjoyment of the good qualities of someone or something.” Find the GOOD. Recognize how FAR you’ve come — and be GRATEFUL for your journey so far. GRATITUDE is defined as “the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.” Show yourself a little appreciation. You deserve it. 🙏❤️ #PSNeverGiveUp • • • • • • • • Do you enjoy content like this?

Called “the new spiritual warrior for the funk” by Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame bassist Bootsy Collins, Cincinnati-based musician FREEKBASS talks about the accident and near-death experience that changed his perspective on life, and how every musician has had to evolve and persevere during the pandemic. 🤩🤘 Check out the FULL EPISODE at PSNeverGiveUp.com [link in bio] or listen, like and SHARE on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pandora, YouTube and many other podcast platforms! #PSNeverGiveUp #fortitude #perseverance #inspiration #petescalia #freekbass #nevergiveup #resilience #podcast #funk #bootsycollins #applepodcasts #pandorapodcasts #spotify @petescalia @freekbass

#MondayMotivation “What to Wear Today? How About #MondayMotivation “What to Wear Today? How About Your AWESOME?” For the past year or so, there’s been little desire to bother with wearing things like, say, pants. Except maybe yoga pants. (Although I don’t think anyone wants to see ME wearing those...) 🙅‍♂️ Loungewear and/or sweatpants has been THE go-to attire for most of us. “Business attire” for many has been what I like to call the “Zoom suit” — business up top, and shorts or sweatpants (or no pants) below. I’ll be honest — I can certainly appreciate a fine suit — but I definitely don’t miss wearing one every day. 👔 Now that we’re finally able to *GASP* meet FACE-TO-FACE again (and might need to make ourselves look somewhat “presentable”), there’s one accessory that has never let me down — CONFIDENCE. Whether you’re in the boardroom or on stage, it’s the one thing that will instantly make ANYONE feel MUCH better, in any situation. Guaranteed. When times are tough, it can be hard to find. But like a missing cuff link or earring, once you find it, it just sort of completes your whole “look.” More importantly, it can change your entire OUTlook as well. Wherever this week takes you, go CONFIDENTLY. Whatever you wear, don’t forget your AWESOME. 🤩 #PSNeverGiveUp #petescalia #RAwarrior #confidence #awesomesauce #nevergiveup
#WednesdayWisdom: The Smallest Steps Cover the Mos #WednesdayWisdom: The Smallest Steps Cover the Most Distance. 👣 Lately Sofia has been very curious about Daddy’s feet. She knows that — like my hands — they look “different” from hers. Thanks to my collapsed arches, my feet point outward and my toes overlap. My bunions are at almost 90-degree angles. The damage and deformities in my feet look very similar to my hands. Some of the joints are bent backwards — for me, a short walk feels like making a fist and walking on your knuckles for miles. My toes are frequently calloused and sore. To be honest, it can be painful to wear shoes, let alone stand up — but ironically, I can’t stand on hard floors without them. Strangely enough, standing barefoot on soft carpet or even in the grass feels AMAZING! (Walking in the sand on the beach feels pretty good, too...) Sofia knows that Daddy’s feet didn’t always look this way. I covered a lot of miles with my “old feet,” before they changed. Now, I just appreciate each step a little more. No matter what you’re facing, every little step counts. Look at all of the steps you’ve taken to get to where you are right now! Some strides might be longer than others. Maybe you’ve even had to tip-toe a few times... The point is, you’re still moving forward. I’ve got a lot of road still to travel with my “special feet” — I look forward to celebrating every step along the way. You should, too. 👣 #PSNeverGiveUp #petescalia #RAwarrior #rheumatoidarthritis #arthritisawareness #arthritisfoundation #nevergiveup #motivation #resilience #fortitude #perseverance #inspiration #keepmoving
#MondayMotivation Today is a GREAT day to NEVER GI #MondayMotivation Today is a GREAT day to NEVER GIVE UP! 💥 They say the best way to get something done is to DO IT. I mean, there’s really no denying that, right? Even a small step forward is still a step forward. Take that step. Then another. And another. And one day you’ll realize just how far you’ve actually come — and how much you’ve accomplished! Don’t be afraid to fail. There are plenty of people out there who are trying and failing — but slowly moving ahead. It’s better to do that than to never try at all! Make today the day you push through. I hope you have a great week! #PSNeverGiveUp #petescalia #RAwarrior #motivation #nevergiveup #letsdothis

Wasn’t expecting to roll up on a train car leaki Wasn’t expecting to roll up on a train car leaking styrene on my way home for lunch today. ‼️ This is zoomed-in dash cam video from my car on US-50 at SR-128 in Cleves, Ohio. 📸 Right by the Kroger store. As I turn right onto 128, you can see the styrene streaming out of the train car… My throat has been feeling raw ever since. ⚠️ Apparently everyone within a 1/2 mile radius has been ordered to evacuate. 🚨 Hope everyone stays safe! 🙏♥️ #train #styrene #cleves #cincinnati #US50 #wcpo

MIAMI VICE premiered 40 years ago today. September MIAMI VICE premiered 40 years ago today. September 16, 1984. The series inspired many questionable fashion choices over the years… and it also launched my love of cars! It seems like people either favor the Daytona (like me) or the Testarossa… A personal highlight for me was Phil Collins’ cameo, driving a Lamborghini Jalpa. (In The Air Tonight, anyone?) I have the entire box set on DVD — in a white, simulated alligator skin box. 😎 #miamivice #crockett #tubbs #ferrari #cadillac #philcollins #donjohnson #philipmichaelthomas #nbc #tv #80s

Story Time! 📝 Many years ago, my high school b Story Time! 📝 Many years ago, my high school buddy Jeff invited me to visit him in South Carolina, to get over a bad breakup I was going through. He was working as an EMT on Kiawah Island at the time, and asked if I wanted to go for a “ride along” with him and his partner. Let’s just say that flipping over while riding in the back of an ambulance DEFINITELY took my mind off of things… 🚑😜 I mean, the story would be crazy enough on its own, if I didn’t have photographic proof that it really happened.🤪 And keep in mind that this was back before digital photos were a thing — so I actually had to drop off the film to get these developed. 📸 Not pictured: sitting in and singing with a Stevie Ray Vaughn tribute act at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach the next night… (Unfortunately I do NOT have any photos of that…) But that’s a story for another time… 😄 #TBT #throwbackthursday #ambulance #flipped #ridealong #memories #truestory #PSNeverGiveUp
