    Emily Kraft and Helicopter EMS

    December 8th, 2025  Emily, aka "Thug" and I connect for a destination episode in Asheville. We had initially attempted to record at the Butler County Airport following a tour of the rotor wing she rides in as a flight nurse, but a patient transport derailed our plans. Reconnecting in our lovely AirBnB she gracefully walks me through a day in the life of a flight nurse.

    Alex Frasz and Part II: PCH to the ALCAN

    Alex Frasz generously takes me in for a follow up to the Being in the Moment episode. We manage the microphone much better this time around, and I hope that comes through. Alex takes us from Denver west and then north young man: to Alaska.  References: National Parks trip continues  Mountain Disc Golf Bureau of Land Management Snow Leopard vs Lynx

    Tyler Karnes Talks Travel, Transitions, and Type 2 Fun

    Tyler and I share great vibes around the pleasures of travel, the hottest gossip in the East Plains section, and being extraverted. You should also ask him how it feels to play in international ultimate tournaments (if you're into that kind of thing).

    Bob Lawrence and Spreading Awareness

    October 29th, 2025  I met Bob and chatted for the first time about a week before we recorded this episode. We live about 4 houses apart, and his stoke fueled the fire for both of us. Sitting down on the mic with Bob was fantastic, and his voice is spectacular over the mic, don't you think so?  References: Cliffview Resort Zipline Canopy Crew (Red River Gorge) Cabins Silky Oak Lodge in Queensland Kangaroo Island "Out of the Darkness Walk" with ASFP for suicide awareness on 11/1

    John Blair and Luck Favors the Prepared

    October 27th, 2025  John "Swan" Blair kicks down the door with this one, and for the first time not at a library. Swan walks us through his serendipitous transition into sports photography in a very composed manner, while shedding light on a phrase or two I have never heard.  References: Photo Director 8  Bevvy Edits on Flickr (bevy is plural for swans, especially when they're on the ground) “First waffle worst waffle” and continuous improvement Lexington PI

    Alex Frasz and Being in the Moment

    Frasz and I touch base at the Northside Digital Studio and get to connect on the first part of the national parks road trip with the campulance, aka: Dorothy. We get into the build and systems, hitting the road, followed by the everglades.  Frasz gives some great insight while I battle another collection of technical obstacles. Looking forward to recording a part II of this conversation and getting more into the Alaska portion of the trip.  Enjoy!

    Nelson Doe and OG Stoke

    Nelson and I discuss tried and true tactics for dog training, engineering (as much as I can comprehend), pebble wrestling as well as a little disc golf. We do while recovering from an indoor bouldering session at VA followed by day trip to Salt Fork for some outdoor bouldering. Nelson keeps the stoke alive, and I hope you enjoy!

    Tia Thé and Never Waste a Crisis

    Tia educates me on paradigmatic shifts, evolution vs revolution, Formula 1 analytics, and other topics with fantastic input regarding Franklin Sousley's presence in Iwo Jima. Tia's energy is infectious, and I hope it comes through the mic. With comments like "The question isn't what did I do wrong, but what is possible?" and feeling like "a turkey in the grocery store"... I am all but certain this will be a delight.  Show Notes: Thomas Kuhn and paradigmatic shifts (this is how I prepared for our conversation) F1 Pit Stop analytics Penny (she's the young pup with a glass of fine wine) The Ultimate Service with Hubie Ballard (The MDM Podcast) Iwo Jima Memorial Follow Ups: Masters Thesis and graduation Shout Outs: Grant & Jess - Thank you both for the enthusiasm and tangible feedback as I discussed the possibility of a podcast, and now that is becoming more of a reality.  Nelson Doe - thank you for planning the Salt Fork bouldering extravaganza, and for booking time in the Westerville library for an episode. I look forward to it bubbling to the surface.  Eric Hegedus - thank you for the ongoing support and feedback, and let me know when you'd like to be on the mic. I'm looking forward to it. Stephen Ritchie - I hope the shout out wasn't too disruptive and that you are sitting somewhere pleasant (and quiet) right now.  Chase Russell - thank you for the calls as you get a chance to listen to the episodes. I love the input and thoughts and look forward to incorporating them (even if it hasn't happened yet...) Alex Frasz - thank you for coming down to Lexington to record an episode, and for the feedback regarding what's already out. I appreciate you.

    Michael Harr and Lifelong Learning

    Michael and I sit down for an insightful conversation in the audio booth at the Northside public library. He walks us through what teaching (or guiding) land management to Montessori students looks like as well as coaching ultimate frisbee. We hit on both physical and mental preparation, reading and writing, as well as fostering an appreciation for the outdoors. Michael is super well spoken and I hope you enjoy the conversation.

    Danny Khoe and the Comeback Club

    Danny and I connect in the audio booth at the Northside public library in Lexington. We discuss his move to Cincinnati brought on by professional ultimate frisbee, a transition from chemistry and phlebotomy into his entrepreneurial endeavor with: the Comeback Club. The conversation continues well from Raph's input on happiness and support, and I hope you find some value in it.  References: Danny Khoe Fitness  David Grey Rehab Vestigial legs vs legless lizards Northside digital studio "Last Question" counter: 4 or 5 ish

    Raph Carranza and Winners Win

    Raph and I sit down for a conversation in the Green Room at the Dayton Main Library. We talk about happiness, supporting others, change, and a handful of other topics. It makes sense that his energy has gotten him to where he is today, as he directs and guides the dialog in great style. He ropes us in by suggesting he'll be "fodder" on the mic, but I think he's more gold than he'd let on. Raph has already succeeded in putting a smile on my face, and I hope his enthusiasm finds its way to you.  Instagram Sportcial  Dayton Library
