Mar 31, 2017•2 hr 50 min•Transcript available on Metacast Today’s guest is Martha Childress (@martha.childress on Facebook). She is the youngest guest I’ve ever had here on the show but by no means is she unscathed or pretentious. She may be young but she has arguably endured more obstacles than most of us face in our entire lifetime. I’ve actually first met Martha back when I was helping tutor her for her SAT’s – so it’s a bit nostalgic for me because now she’s starting the next chapter as she is preparing to graduate college. A little over 3 years ag...

Funny story I had actually walked to work on my first day because my husband and I only had one car at the time. It was June and we live in SC so as you can imagine it got hot (and humid) early on in the day. So you can imagi...

Dec 10, 2016•2 hr 45 min•Transcript available on Metacast Imagine this — You start do everything right, you graduate with a solid degree, you get a respectable well-paying job, and you start to earn a “living” but you feel like something is missing.

Nov 12, 2016•2 hr 50 min•Transcript available on Metacast I have a very unique connection with today’s guest. I went to elementary school with him and he lived just down the street from where I grew up. He was in the grade ahead of me and I can’t say our paths crossed much back then but it’s funny how life can circle back and connect you again with someone (yet another amazing perk of this podcast). Today’s guest is Casey Elsass who followed his calling to pioneer his love of adventure and food. He is one of the co-founders of Bushwick Kitchen which be...
Nov 01, 2016•1 hr 26 min•Transcript available on Metacast James Bobo Eason grew up an athlete: he played football, baseball, and basketball. He picked up his first set of weights at 15 years old. The plates powdered with dirt from the set-up he had created in his backyard. He eventually made it into a real gym, but realized he was on his own to figure everything out. Ultimately this became his reason: he wanted to give to others what he had not had in those early days – someone to show him how to properly use the equipment. Trial and error proved to be...
