There are stories only you can tell, and the world needs to hear them. Not all of us believe that, but it doesn’t make it any less true. From ancient times stories have provided us with lessons, entertainment, and given us a way to record history. Storytellers, now known as authors, have therefore always been an integral part of the human experience. Even in a digital age we can be captured by a g...

Once upon a time, there was a farm just north of the river. The farm had the best produce anyone had ever seen. The two farmers each had a specialty, one could turn the food they grew into drinks that not only tasted good, but were good for you. The other farmer could transform the food they grew into the most delicious pies. Does this sound like the beginning of a fairytale? Well that’s what’s ha...

Wait… where did that building come from? We’ve all been there. Driving down our usual route to work or school and we notice a building that has seemingly popped up out of nowhere. Of course, it took weeks and months to complete, but when we look at building construction from our vantage point, it seems like magic. Man and machine in perfect harmony creating buildings that reach up into the sky. Th...

It’s that time of the year. The weather is getting cooler and the holiday season is in full swing. Family and friends are gathering from far and wide to celebrate with each other. But what really brings people together around the holidays? We know you’ll be excited about today’s show if your answer is the food. Food can bring us together around the holidays and special occasions, but it can also d...

From the beginning we’ve told and listened to stories. Whether by moonlight, firelight, or electrical light stories have been and always will be a vital part of what makes us human. Stories record history, teach us lessons, spark our imagination, and so much more. The importance of stories cannot be overstated and neither can the importance of storytellers. Today we are joined by Megan Easterday,...

Good food is at the heart of every great day. Food brings us together, can make us feel better, and of course provides the energy for all of the things we want to accomplish. Some of us cook or go to restaurants to get good food, but today’s guest on the podcast had a different idea. Please welcome Matt King. Mattie is somewhat of a Renaissance Man, Spartan Race Training, owning and coaching a gym...

If there’s one thing we know about small and medium-sized business owners, it’s that they’re problem solvers. In fact, you could describe their jobs as solving one problem after another. However, when it comes to setting up great HR teams and providing best-in-class employee benefits, even business owners may need some help. Business owners can rely on PEO‘s or professional employee organiza...

Do you know what you’re capable of? At first, it seems like an easy question to answer, but the more you think about it the harder it becomes. What are you capable of?

Parenting can be tough! Take the kids to school, make sure they have lunch, pick them up, then to soccer practice… That schedule would be a lot for any parent, even more so if your child is having trouble with their behavior. All that pressure and stress can be enough to drive a parent crazy. New parents aren’t given a manual on how to take care of their children, and even experienced parents run...

When you donate to charity how does it make you feel? Probably pretty good! Donating money to help someone or contributing to make changes that matters to us will naturally make us feel good. However when you donate to a charity, especially a big one, you may not actually know where your money is going. You still get a good feeling from your donation, but the actual impact of that donation will mo...

When you think of the company you work for, what thoughts come to mind? We are sure the company would hope words like, “fair, effective, agile, hardworking, and efficient” pop up first. However, that may not be the case for all of you listening. For those of you that come up with a list of less flattering words to describe your company it is important to know that just like you, your managers are...

Your doctor tells you that you have cancer… What do you do now? Very few of us can really imagine what it’s like to have our world completely turned upside down like this. Even fewer would know the correct steps to take after such a diagnosis. That was the predicament our next guest Vince Todd Jr and his family faced when he was diagnosed at just 26yrs old. Not only do you have to deal with the ph...

The game is 2-1, and everything is riding on these last penalty kicks from your opponent. You’re the goalie, the only one that can stop this attempt and secure the win for your team. Otherwise you go home with a tie and no one wants that. Just imagine it, can you feel the pressure? Our next guest on the podcast is very familiar with that pressure and is providing goalies with the training and equi...

Dogs are man’s best friend. They live with us, sleep with us, eat with us, work out with us, and if you get a dog today you’ll be shocked how fast they become part of the family. It’s as though they have a sixth sense that helps them get in our heads. But what if we could get into their heads for a day? Well with our next guest, getting into the mind of your dog might be more than just science fic...

Do you remember riding bikes as a kid? The wind in your hair, maybe your mom or dad yelling behind you to “slow down”? Riding a bike may have been your first real taste of freedom as a child and it probably felt amazing, like you could keep riding to edge of the world. Some of you listening are probably thinking, “What do they mean, ‘as a kid?’ I still feel like that a few times a week when I get...

We try to plan for everything. Even those of us that don’t like to plan for things still have a vague plan of how things in their day, week, or even life might unfold. These plans make us feel safe and give us the ability to respond quickly to different things that might happen even if they fall just outside the plan. For parents that might mean taking time off from work to be with a sick child or...

As office workers, athletes, and really just people in the world we all probably know a thing or two about aches and pains. It seems that as we get older a little pain here and there is to be expected. It just happens! The real problem comes in though when our healthcare provider can’t explain why we are in pain. Pain without a reason is suffering and unfortunately this disproportionately affects...

When you look at a new house it is easy to get caught up in the square footage and whether or not the kitchen has an island. But what about the windows and doors? You might not notice them right away, but if they weren’t there we’d bet a pretty penny you’d have a few words with the builder! Today we are joined by Issie Knapp, Ben Collins, and Ryan Lavelle at Morrison Millwork. At Morrison their go...

We’ve all had that million dollar idea. The one that kept us up nights because it just made too much sense, and we needed to figure out how to make it happen. That idea that you daydream about and put hours, days, maybe even years into bringing to life. All that work only to realize that you are the only one that knows about your world changing product or service. Ah shoot! Getting the word out ca...

Can you imagine rolling around town in your car, or spending time with your family in the house this summer? It sounds pretty nice. Now imagine those same scenarios with no air conditioning.

Whether it is for your business, your car, or...

When we think about food there are those that eat to live and then we have those that live to eat. People that would fly around the world to try a dish or stay up all night to get reservations at the newest restaurant in town. But who makes all of this amazing food that we can’t get enough of? The Chef of course. Their culinary prowess always keeps us coming back for more! Today we are joine...

The original goal was to provide the resources and opportunities for people looking for work to find jobs, but it h...
