Customer Reviews
Real and Relatable
Bill brings a sizable dose of reality to a society that wants to believe it takes governmental intervention to resolve issues people face daily. The truth is that normal folks can and do impact the world in extraordinary ways. These stories relate to our own lives and help us see that we are not alone and we CAN impact our world for good.
Stop talking over your guests!
I love the show. I love the idea of the show. However, I’m on episode 3 and the host is constantly talking over his guests and telling his own stories. Stop it!
Please support Bill’s ministry
We were recently honored to interview Bill on our Northern AZ radio show, he’s the real deal. Please become a sustaining member of the Army of Normal Folks, and support Bill, his team and his wonderful guests in making America a more loving, compassionate, successful place for all of us.
