Two Broad Casters

These Two Broads really enjoyed our conversation with Matt who came out of the public school "system" and once a Father realized he must do something different for his children regarding learning.  He began to build what he thought learning could look like and invited everyone he knew to join in, and they did.  Now Apogee learning centers are spread throughout the country.  It is a great episode o...

The Two Broads were so pleased to have had Author Joseph (Jake) Klein on this episode where a very important topic was discussed.  Klein's new book, Redefining Racism; How Racism Became Power + Prejudice, is a very well researched and important book bringing to light a very little known history of how anti racists movements have actually pushed culture backwards in the arena of inclusion and diver...

It is past time to think that it cannot be true that the industrial food complex isn't out for us.  It is naive to think the FDA would never allow harmful toxins to be in our foods.  Does not everyone not yet know?  There are decades of disease riddled data to show us just how far off from real food the complex of food scientists have brought us, begging the question, do we even know what real foo...

Starting a new business?  Stuck in your business? Want a successful life?  Guest Brooke Lenhoff of the Entrepreneurship Center, Focus Suites joins the two broads for some foundational advise that often times gets overlooked when doing your own thing;  the entrepreneur themselves.  Understanding one's strengths is one such foundational building block that gets discussed today.  Of course there are...

For the first time, the Two Broads had a repeat guest on the show.  Stacy Dam of Set Your Sites, joined us again after only under three months due to all of the barriers and goals she has busted down. Goals she spoke of in her first visit and boom, they happened.  If you missed Stacy's first cast discussing her, "see a need, fill a need" business idea and the weird accident she had that spurred he...

The state of education is a topic that is sure to ruffle the broad's feathers. In this episode Lauri & Sarah push back against the misunderstanding of what unschooling generally really is and then it's off to the races.  What ensues is a litany of amazement and grievances towards public education over the years and where it now finds us.  Tune in if you like course salt. 

Sarah is currently partaking in a physical fitness challenge and while walking several hours a day currently she has had time to think a lot about motivation and perseverance.  The two broads discuss these two golden qualities and all under the Lauri's shroud of exhaustion which is ridiculously obvious right at the start of the show when she boldly calls Sarah, Sarah Conners!!  WHAT?? Well, if you...

In observation of our occasional series on forgotten people groups, in this cast we discuss prisoners. Amy Jurgens is the Director for the Focus Suites Entrepreneurship Center and teacher at Southeast Community College.  Amy is also teaching in the prison and shares her observations and insights about that.  We talk about the bias many have regarding people who are or who have served time. One thi...

In this episode the broads come to the mics with some salty commentary regarding the Olympics.  It has its touching moments when one Broad tells of her childhood connection to the Olympics.  This is a fun episode sure to get you back into the spirit of gold and we think we may get gold in the category of best post game without having been there or watched any of it. Listen now!

Tragic heroes.  We are all familiar with them as they are in most stories told; via plays, movies or books. Tragic figures and cautionary tales have been in our societal culture experience in everything from The Bible, to Greek mythology to Aesop's fables.  We have been exposed to stories that warn of us many things and things like regret, bitterness, greed and lies to a point where it would seem...

The Two Broads have a conversation on this episode about how convenience, or a least the sales pitch of it, has led us into the really deep end of consumerism.  We wonder if we are better off for it all despite the obviousness of much of it. Do we purchase without much real thought whenever something is sold as making our lives easier or better in some ways?  Has all of that stuff we have bought l...

In this episode, in an attempt to soften the edges to so many campaign weary and anxiety stricken hearts the Two Broads are here to give a possible moment to readjust perspectives.  Propaganda is the topic on this cast. A little background about it, what it is, how it's used and more.  We even created a game called Spot The Ganda which we feel could aid humanity in surviving what now seems like an...

Great conversation with 2+1 broad, Stacy Dam, owner of Set Your Sites which is an idea and service that brings campgrounds into the 21st century.  We loved hearing this idea of hers that is now catching some major waves and even more fascinating is the story of when she decided to actually give what was "just an idea" her attention and roll the dice.  Stacy came through quite an ordeal which left...

Living off of the land. Going off the grid. There is a mass conscience directed towards the desire to own a piece of property and return to an agrarian society.  To be able to grow your own food and own a few of your own animals.  In this episode we have a great conversation with Shawn & Beth who have been doing just that for over 40 years.  Not only do they live off of their land 95% they have a...

How much do you know about Joe? That beverage that may be the start to your every day.  We got to chat with Amanda Pumphrey, owner of Pumphrey and Beard Coffee Comany which is both a coffee house with two locations but also coffee roasters.  Learn about that bean, (not a bean) we love and seemingly rely on so much.  Coffee is very interesting starting with the plant perspective to the global marke...

We had the pleasure of having good conversation with Angie Craft, artist and owner of Sassafras Galleria and The Back Room Event Venue located in Wahoo, NE.  Angie loves art and is a warrior dedicated to promoting art, aiding young artists and providing events and opportunities for artists of all types. She has done so much for the small town of Wahoo and for artists as she builds community throug...

Fun conversation with Chuck Bush. Chuck is CEO of Provocation Pictures and F3 Films with Nick Corso.  We learned about how F3 Films just entered a deal with Silver Screen Pictures; a provider for content for Hallmark, Lifetime, GAC and others.  F3 will produce pictures that occupy the faith, family and freedom space.  We learned how Chuck's passion for community shows through his bringing film wor...

The Broads took their mics to the wonderment of yet another NFL player gaining media and social media attention and wondered if perhaps the NFL should consider their own TMZ type platform; perhaps even just the KC Chiefs; seems they have a lot of content.  We ventured down many highways in this salty episode folks.  We also wondered if it was time to make, "None Of Your Business", a thing again? S...

The Two Broads invited financial planner, Marcie Young, onto the show to discuss financial planning.  Not specific products pitches but more realities and some reasons why perhaps so many do not have a will, a living will or a financial plan in order.  Nobody likes to talk about this fundamental aspect of life and that should change.  Good basic motivational info here in this cast!

Dress for success, the keys to success, think success be success, with success comes respect; on and on there are examples of how much the word success is thrown about.  Here is the thing though; what is it?  Is it a made up trap to get us all on the hamster wheel of comparison?  Is successful the same image for everyone? Is there a path one can take to get it? What is IT?  Is it a number, an addr...

One of the Broads, who fresh off of a trip to Greece, felt compelled to share her take on the trip.  As both of the broads have now been to this wonderful country they weren't short on things to say about it and observations about the Greeks.  This episode is rather like a get a way.  Enjoy.

Sometimes it feels like the word expert no longer means what we think it means, which sounds nuts.  In an age where everyone seems an expert on line, some people really are experts are in their field but are banned, some experts really aren't experts but we are told they are has led to an interesting time of both "expert" idolization and "expert" skepticism. While being an expert and needing exper...

In this episode the Two Broads go on a bit of a rant about something that bothers them both and that something is how people now days seem to really be lining up in self censoring.  The politically correct movement of hijacking words, forbidding words and word manipulations are starting to pay off.

The broads have noticed a lot of misuse of the term gaslighting. Is it due to not knowing what it is?  Is it used as an alternative word for ghosting? Is it another word that gets thrown around too much which leads it to be watered down?  The broads discuss and get down to the darkness that it really is. 

Yes, the two broads, who consider themselves to be "recovering people pleasers" discuss this futile habit that almost always gets the opposite of what the people pleaser thinks it can do.  A quick examination from two broads who have been down that soul sucking life path and see it for what it is.  A short but thought provoking cast about this which may help a fellow pleaser out there or to unders...
