Episode Details

Today Grandpa Bill-Aa now retired-50-year health and wellness veteran, a first novel built on real Portland history, and a granddaughter studying AI research collide in one episode that connects memory, mystery, and legacy. If you like holistic healing, Maine history, or behind-the-scenes creator process, this one gives you a lot to think about.

Grandpa Bill opens up about the worldview behind The BH Sales Holistic Healing Hour and how decades in wellness, retirement, and daily podcasting shape everything he creates. He also shares a major milestone: the final draft of his first fictional novel, The Greater Portland Crab Caper, a six-and-a-half-decade mystery rooted in real-world Portland, Maine

landmarks and family history.

You’ll hear how GB plans to turn the city itself into a living framework for the story, using places like the Western Promenade, Eastern Promenade, Commercial Street, Casco Bay, the Old Port, and the Portland Public Library as part of the narrative structure. GB also explains how his granddaughter Adah, now entering her sophomore year at the University of Southern Maine as an AI research major, became part of the creative engine behind the book.

Grandpa Bill breaks down how Adah’s campus life, research work, and future on the Portland campus will feed into the next phase of the project, including the evolving Part Two of The Greater Portland  Crab Caper series and the use of real locations as memory palaces, research anchors, and story devices. It’s part family update, part creative workshop, and part living map of Portland history.

The episode also looks ahead to a return visit from Byron Athene, where the conversation will continue the A-to-Z project and unpack the ideas behind ULUA, unconditional love, universal acceptance, along with a calendar system Byron and his wife Hilary have been using for years.

Essential listening if you enjoy personal storytelling, local history, creative process, and the way one idea can grow into an entire world.
