Absolute B.S. with Brad and Steve Brad Laackman & Steve Steketee

 Every once in a while, we get to talk to someone who bowls us over, and this episode is no exception. 

With today’s mental health challenges, it’s refreshing to hear voices unafraid to be transparent, unafraid of embarrassment through personal choice, and unafraid to show how a life full of trials can be spun into a force for good. 

Sometimes you have to laugh through the pain, so get some mental band-aids and join us as we speak with women’s life coach and all-around force of nature, Rebecca Thomas. 

Networking and contributing to your community are the some of the most important aspects of working in today’s business world— and it’s a lesson not everyone hears. 

In this episode of Absolute B.S., we speak to Austin Reynolds and Max Rispler, two young entrepreneurs doing all they can to leave a mark on the city they work in! Through late nights, bottle service, and a loose grasp of social media, it looks like it’s working. 

Make some tacos and give a listen. 

It’s been a few... hundred... months.... But we’re back in the studio with our next guest!

Featuring a storied career and trusted voice in the news, AND a major focus on health and wellness, Val Lego is now ready to take those talents in media to the next opportunity!

Join us as we talk through the B.S. of switching careers later in life, the joys of trying to keep up with technology, and whether or not there’s something more "super than natural" going on just beyond our understanding of the world...

Get your haircut and give it a listen.

This time on Absolute B.S. with Brad and Steve, we invite Erik Wolenberg, Executive Director of the Hope Network Foundation to our table. 

Through extremely self-deprecating humor we take a look into the world of Philanthropy— what thank means, why it is a thing, and how we should go about doing it locally. 

There’s that, an intention of starting a Kiss-Club in Grand Rapids, how we’re turning into our own fathers and the real importance of updating your Facebook profile. 

Have a stick of gum and give a listen!

This episode of Absolute BS with Brad and Steve, we are joined by the formidable Craig Clark of Clark Communications! A mainstay in corporate and private PR messaging and problem solving, Craig lends his spin on GR’s PR scene, where it’s going and where it’s been, also sharing humorous antics from his youth and the last time he threw up in public.

It’s the kind of stuff you need to hear, so get back to the knitting and listen up.

Money! Some consider it, some don’t. Some have it. Some won’t. 

Listen in as we talk with Paige Afendoulis, a financial guru, a celebrated author, and succession planning consultant bringing her experience in family money management to our studio. 
We open her book of thoughts for children and adults alike on the importance of planning, investing, and managing personal finance. It starts way before you think it should, so grab a notebook and listen up!
