    101: Christopher Lee - Director of Government Affairs, Frisco Chamber of Commerce

    Christopher Lee is the Director of Government Affairs at the Frisco Chamber of Commerce. Christopher and I go way way way back. He was but a student at UNT when we met while working on an ill-fated city council campaign. Excellent times. In this conversation, we talk about all things politics and government affairs. We talk a ton about redistricting, working in the Texas statehouse, we talk about working with a city's chamber of commerce, and all the challenges that come with that. If you enjoy politics at the local county and state level, you will love this episode. I'm really excited to share this one. https://www.linkedin.com/in/ctlee12/ https://www.friscochamber.com/

    95: Richard Shoffit - Denton Academy of Martial Arts

    In 1968, having graduated from high school, Mr. Shoffit received his introduction into the martial arts. It was during this nostalgic period of the late 60s and early 70s that he developed his intense personal interest in the cultural, historical, and philosophical aspects of martial arts. Since receiving his black belt in 1972, Mr. Shoffit has gone on to expand his study in both eclectic and traditional martial arts. In 1974, Mr. Shoffit graduated from North Texas State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology which was offered through the Education Department. While attending graduate school in 1976, he decided to make a professional career in martial arts by opening a studio on a full-time basis. In 1986, Mr. Shoffit completed construction on his spacious, custom-built facility that is now the base of his operation. Over the years, Mr. Shoffit has had the opportunity to train extensively with numerous masters and grandmasters. Collectively, this wide range of study has helped him develop the philosophy that a balanced system should be complete but not finished. http://dentonmartialarts.com/ Tel: (940) 387-7442 Email: shintoshi2@charter.net Mon 4:00 - 7:00pm, Tues - Thurs 4:00 - 8:30pm https://twitter.com/sensei_shoffit https://www.facebook.com/dentonmartialarts https://www.instagram.com/dentonmartialarts/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpCHKotz5b8eyNHpV5rlwMA
