Matt Groom is truly one of my best friends, to the point where he was the best man at my wedding over 18 years ago. Our bromance is strong, and we have truly grown up together over the last twenty years. One thing that has bonded us together has been out love for sports. We have seen many sporting events ogether, and Matt is somehow always finding new weird little sports that no one knows anything about to tell me all about. I bribed him with some pizza to drive up to Sonora and talk to me about sports and it was a great time. Check it out!

35: Missionary Darwin Snyder Returns to the Ministry that Rescued Him

Darwin Snyder has a truly special story. As an infant in Quito Ecuador he was in a horrible and life threatening situation. Fatherless, and with a mother who would abandon him for days at a time, he was rescued by authorities and placed in the protective care of the local orphanage, which has been operated by the For His Children international missionary organization for over 30 years. Darwin’s life was changed forever as he was adopted by the Snyder family, missionaries who were serving in Quito. His life has come full circle as he is now working with the For His Children team as their new Development Coordinator. His new role is helping to show people that the Lord’s work is being done in the lives of the young people in Ecuador every day. This was a great discussion with Darwin, and I hope that it brings you hope!

34: Elena Miller Has a Bin of Lego Hair and a Bin of Lego Heads
Today I am joined by yet another family member as I talk to my daughter about her passion for building with Legos. Elena may be only 14 years old but she is serious about her pursuit of building with Legos. She has been buying, collecting, and building Lego sets for most of her life and puts a lot of effort into doing it right. I talk to her about the challenges and misconceptions of being an avid Lego fan. I ask her to show me some of her favorite Lego builds. She tells me about her biggest frustration when building. She also invites me in and has me build a little project together with her. This was a fun and sweet little episode!

30: Nashville Session Guitarist Blake Wrinn: Good Father, Passable Musician

I met Nashville Session Guitarist Blake Wrinn very briefly a few years go, right before Covid ruined everything and have been following him ever since.  I really wanted to have him on the podcast, because I've always wanted to talk to someone about the Studio experience.  Blake is not only laying down tracks at the highest level, but also has his own home studio and is building a state of the art Dolby recording studio in Knoxville, which is home to HBO, Warner Brothers, Discovery, and many other major production studios.

 

Blake was an absolute delight, and has some great stories, my favorite is the one where he shows how much he values the promises that he makes to his family.  You're going to love this guy, check it out!

28: Woodworker Hadeel Khater is Making her Own Path and Breaking Stereotypes

Hadeel Khater is a full time nurse in the Chicago area. She's married and has a young family. She's a very busy woman. And yet in a busy world, and one with a lot of potential hobbies, Hadeel has been drawn by her passion to the wood shop and become a serious woodworker, and specifically to power carving. When you picture someone who fits the description of woodworker, you normally picture a tall bearded man, covered in dust, alone in the shop. To be fair, this does describe Hadeel's husband Firas sometimes. However Hadeel has been breaking this stereotype for years, as she has been magnetically drawn to the shop by her love of woodworking.She loves the wood, she loves the projects, but most of all, she loves the problem solving aspect of it. Hadeel's power carved projects are beautiful and elegant and very unique, I've never seen pieces like them before. My conversation with Hadeel was delightful and she was such a joy to have on the show.

27: Dungeon Master Schyler Heddings Blows my Mind with a "Simple" Practice

Often on this show I bring on guests that I've know for ten or fifteen or twenty years. Today I am so pleased to introduce you to a guest that I have known for about a month. Schyler is a person who has dedicated much of his life to Dungeons and Dragons, and one result of that is that he has landed in the role of a "Forever DM" (or Dungeon Master) where he is always the one running the games. We had Schyler run a campaign for our family a few weeks ago and we had so much fun. Afterwards I hit him up and invited him on the show. I found him to be very knowledgeable, with great stories. Schyler absolutely blew my mind when he demonstrated a trick he uses to create improvised fantasy names. Honestly, my brain doesn't work that fast! He also brought one of the funnest "Let's Get Into It" segments we've ever done.

I am so excited to introduce you to another one of my family members. Today I talk to my middle sister Allison Muenkel who is not only also the Co-Owner of Keystone Crossfit Gym along with her husband Tim Muenkel, who we talked to a few weeks ago, and also a Trainer, and Fitness and health expert, but she is also a mother of two with one on the way and has had both children via the method of Homebirth and is planning on having the third via Homebirth as well and is very passionate about it. She wanted to talk about it and I thought it would be great to talk about on the podcast because I know almost nothing about it! Allison has read the books, she's watched the documentaries, she's listened to the podcasts, but more than that, she's interviewed midwives and doulas, and really dug into the true heart of midwifery and home birth. I found Allison to be extremely knowledgeable about the topic and, of course very passionate about it, because Allison is passionate about just about everything. Give it a listen to find out why she fired the hospitals and chose homebirth #Fired #Hospitals #Chose #Choose #Homebirth #Midwife #Doula #birth #baby Important Links: Allison Muenkel's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/allisonmuenkel/ Keystone Crossfit's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keystonecrossfit/ Allison's Youtube Page: https://www.youtube.com/@allisonmuenkel2661

24: Bekki Oribello Uses Lasers to Create her Beautiful Jewelry
24: Bekki Oribello Uses Lasers to Create her Beautiful Jewelry A few months ago I ran into Bekki while visiting a street fair in Jackson, California called Dandelion Days. She was running a booth under the name Dragon Hearth Designs selling Laser Cut Jewlery and Keychains, as well as other things. Her designs were small, intricate, hand painted, full of vibrant colors, and artistic flair. Amongst all the others vendors and stalls, her booth immediately jumped out to my family and I. We were mesmerized by the brilliant colors and vibrant jewelry on display at her booth. I grabbed her card and told her that I would be in touch about being on my podcast. What I didn't know was that Bekki would be such a delight to talk to. Bekki had a great story, and was extremely knowledgeable about her craft. She was passionate about her work and sharing it with others, and excited to be able to share her work in a way that was contributing to her families financial stability. It was truly a joy to have Bekki on the podcast, I hope that you will enjoy this episode.

23.5 Your Mental Health Matters

I haven't been able to find a guest in time to record an interview for an episode in time for my release schedule. However, there was some interesting information that I wanted to pass on to you. We recently had an event here in my local town that was intended to raise awareness about mental health issues and I felt this was a really fitting addendum to the conversations that we've had with Jason Rivera and Christy Maxson. Depression, Anxiety, and other mental health issues are so prevalent in our society and I was absolutely blindsided when I was bombarded with depressive thoughts recently, after Christy and I talked. So I definitely wanted to bring this issue up again and encourage you to talk to "Safe People" as Christy called it, and reach out and seek help, because you are valuable, you are loved, there is hope.


In a previous episode we talked about my favorite author Brandon Sanderson and in one of his books there is an inspiring quote: "This is life, and I will not lie by saying every day will be sunshine. But there will be sunshine again, and that is a very different thing to say. That is truth."


If you are struggling with depression or suicidal thoughts, there is a new help line, 988. It's like 911, but for mental health, and it's NATIONWIDE. There is help, there is hope!


Hopefully together we can all avoid being a jerk for a long time.

23: Therapist Christy Maxson Treats Trauma With Acronyms

Christy Maxson and her husband Derek have been our friends here in Sonora longer than just about any one else in town, but I won't insult them by saying they are our oldest friends as they are still in the prime of their lives. Desiree and I had front row seats to watch Christy's career unfold right in front of our eyes over the last decade or so. We got to watch as she completed her Masters, then did all of her 3000 hours of observed counseling sessions, then become a licenced marriage and family therapist and as since been serving Tuolumne County in that capacity for the past three years. During our conversation, we talked through her journey to become a therapist. We talked about some of the challenges that she faces on a daily basis. She shared some of the joys of the whole thing, and how seeing people have breakthroughs in their lives is what keeps her going. Another thing that came up was that she mentioned a couple different methods that she employs when she treats patients who suffer from trauma and PTSD and she mentioned some acronyms that I'd never heard before. This was a really interesting discussion and I'm really glad Christy came on.

Tim Muenkel has been my brother-in-law for 12 years. I joked in the intro to this video that Tim is the strongest person that I've ever met because he married my sister, but Tim may legitimately be the strongest person I've ever met. His dedication to health, fitness, strength, and above all teaching and coaching others to reach their own fitness goals has always impressed me. Tim has made it his career to help to empower people to change their own lives through the power of understanding what their body is doing, what it needs, and how to get stronger. I found Tim to be incredible intelligent, passionate, insightful, and of course knowledgeable as we talked about Health, Fitness, and Crossfit. He talked about how it all started and his very linear progression from Judo, to the Marines, do regular "Gym" workouts, to Crossfit and how Crossfit felt like the workout he was always looking for. He talked about how he's always been a leader at every stage of his life, even going back to high school. He talks about how his love and passion for doing what he does fuels him so much that even after thirteen years he feels no closer to burnout than when he started. He talks about his incredible approach to anything negative that happens and how he takes responsibility for it, even when it couldn't possibly be his fault, and why he does it that way. He also talks about one of his favorite moments when things started to get better during the lockdown times, and how he and his gym celebrated. Tim was a joy to have on the show and I loved getting to talk to him. We've got to have him on again in the future!

21: Six Months of Podcasting has led to some great moments (CLIP SHOW)

I had a guest scheduled for this week but he had to reschedule.  However  I wanted to stick to my semi-weekly schedule and so I though a quick  recap of some of my favorite moments over the last six months of  podcasting.  Honestly, these episodes are all my children.  I loved  every conversation that I had.  However, I thought it would be fun to  highlight a few minutes from some of my favorite interviews over the  last six months.  Each of these interviews is worth listening to in  their entirety and can be found in the feed!

20: Artist Joe Skaff Recommends That You try Forgery

I can honestly say that without Joe Skaff this podcast might not exist.  While this podcast was in development, Joe told me that he wanted to hear it.  I sent him a rough draft of the first episode and he gave me some very useful constructive criticism that helped to mold the show and helped to get the show off the ground.  What also came up in that conversation was that Joe was an artist himself.  I never knew that and we talked about someday having him on the podcast.

I thought that may be a good idea, but what I didn't count on was how knowledgable, passionate, and downright charming Joe was when he came on.  I should have known, because Joe is always delightful.  Joe talks about how he's been an artist since he was a child and how he got the artistry bug from his mother.  He talks about how his mother didn't let her disability hinder art, and how the smell of the oil she mixed with the paint still makes him nostalgic.  He talks about how he loves to share his passion for art with his daughter and also his young grandchildren and goes on a minor rant about how people always say they can't draw, but that he believe that anyone can learn to draw.    "If you can see it, if you can picture it, you can draw it" he said over and over in our interview, and by the end, I believed him!
