Our next guest on the Quixotic Heights Podcast, airing Sunday, January 4, is Marty Ludlum, a storyteller, lawyer, and university professor.

Marty has a sharp mind for business law and international trade, and a heart for storytelling that’s pure gold. He is the author of "At First I Was Afraid," the first book in his vibrant Disco Divas Series, where glitter meets grit, and every page has a beat.

Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2019, Marty now donates a portion of every book sale to MS research, turning his personal journey into a force for good.

So grab your platform shoes, adjust that mirror ball, and get ready to hear how law, life, and disco can dance together in unexpected harmony. We couldn't ask for a better guest to kick off 2026 with an inspirational message of keep fighting and keep living with your sense of humor intact!

Marty Ludlum is the author of the Disco Divas novels, a mystery series set in Las Vegas with Detective Donna Summer Wyznecki. Yes, she's named after the disco diva. It’s a long story.

When not writing, Marty is an award-winning college professor of Business Law at the University of Central Oklahoma. He enjoys international travel with his college sweetheart, Kara; reading; watching Netflix; donuts; disco music (of course); time with his growing cadre of grandkids; and is always searching for another great Mexican restaurant.

Marty is active with Writercon, Mystery Writers of America, Oklahoma Writers Federation, and Sisters in Crime. Marty loves good storytelling in all forms.

Marty was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 2019 and donates a portion of all book sales to MS research.

Our next episode on Sunday, December 28, is with Wen Hsu, founder of Wen Coaching.

She is redefining what authentic leadership looks like. Wen helps high-achievers navigate their careers without abandoning who they truly are, empowering them to lead from a place of alignment, not fear.

In this conversation, we explore the power of embracing layered identities, the challenges of visibility as an introvert, and how each of us can live at our own quixotic heights, one brave step at a time.

For our listeners, schedule a free 25-minute strategy call: https://calendly.com/wencoaching/25-minutes-call-quixotic

Born and raised in Taiwan, Wen is the first in her family to go to college and earn an advanced degree in the US. After 15+ years in corporate America, with a successful track record and career progression as an engineering manager in the San Francisco Bay Area, she left her comfort zone and pursued a vastly different career choice: career coaching for people who have a track record of success, but are somehow feeling stuck and wanting more fulfillment in their lives.

Welcome to Quixotic Heights, where dreams take flight! Here, we explore the stories that shape us and the voices that heal us.

Our next episode coming Sunday, December 21, is a powerful one.

Our guest is Anhtuan, the author of Healing—a beautifully raw and honest book that explores the tender, often painful journey of reclaiming peace, self-worth, and truth. Through poetic language and deep introspection, Anhtuan invites us into a space of courage, vulnerability, and growth.

Content warning: this conversation includes a discussion of su***de, suicidal thoughts, and mental health challenges. If this is a sensitive topic for you, please take care while listening. Your well-being matters. And if you or someone you love is struggling, please know that help is available.

In this conversation, we’ll talk about the experiences that shaped his path, the challenges of writing through pain, and what healing really means—not as a destination but as a lifelong process.
Whether you’re deep in your own healing or just beginning to ask the hard questions, this episode is for you.

Anhtuan Do is a storyteller based in Maplewood, NJ. From the ages of 12-42, he was suicidal. In January of 2023, he finally got help. Ten weeks and 400 hours of therapy work later, writing spilled out.

In his own words, Anhtuan shares with us what his book, HEALING, is about.

“The first time I thought about su***de, I was twelve. In January of 2023, thirty years later, I finally got help. I did 400 hours of therapy in ten weeks. If you estimate that most people do an hour a week, I conservatively did eight years in those weeks. As March came along, writing spilled out, specifically screenplays. By September, I finished my fourth, thirteen more sit in my head.

This is that journey.”

Welcome to The Quixotic Heights Podcast, where we explore the courageous stories of those reaching for something greater—something sacred.

Our next guests are a remarkable father-daughter duo: Thomas and Samantha Dahlborg.

Thomas is a compassionate researcher, writer, and advocate for children’s emotional and spiritual health. Samantha is not only a fierce creative force, but also Miss Maine USA, a Sports Illustrated model, and a Paris fashion photographer.

But behind the spotlights and achievements is a deeper story—one marked by bullying, depression, anxiety, loss, and the long climb back to the light. Together, they’ve turned that pain into a message of love, agency, and faith for children and families everywhere.

In this episode, coming Sunday, 11/30/2025, we talk about their book series The Light, the healing power of storytelling, and how we can all help children find their voice and their worth in God's eyes.

Our next guest on Sunday is Stephanie Dooley, who you may know as SL Dooley, a fantasy author whose stories transport readers into richly imagined worlds while anchoring them in timeless truths. From building epic landscapes to crafting characters who wrestle with faith, courage, and purpose, Stephanie’s work shows us that fantasy can do more than entertain—it can inspire us to live braver stories in our own lives.

Stephanie is a fantasy author looking for a never-ending story to go boldly through the wardrobe into another adventure. She's the best-selling author of the Portal Slayer trilogy and the award-winning high fantasy duology, The Summertime Circus and The Cold Moon Carnival.

One of her side-quests is to encourage new writers as they navigate the paths toward publication. She has spoken at numerous events, including the Realm Makers conference, The Bookfest spring festival, and WriterCon.

With a passion for fantasy literature since childhood, Dooley draws inspiration from mythology, folklore, and a vivid imagination to craft immersive narratives that transport readers to realms of magic and adventure. One of her side-quests is to take up Tolkien’s charge: find any way to escape into fantastical worlds and to bring as many people as she can with her. She lives in Texas with her husband, where she collects old books and new journals.
