    GLCO 28 ~ The World On The Water with Kiley & Lynette from WOW Boards

    Kiley worked construction heading into the recession of 2008.  Naturally work didn't last long.   Lynette created a property management company and luckily was good at it.   She asked her husband if he could do anything, what would he do.   He replied, 'Shape boards'.     So they started World On Water boards that builds custom surf and SUP boards where art and style are as much a part of their soul as the experience of the ride.     In this podcast we talk about business, relationships, R & D, a twist on continuing education, man caves and of course, living the Good Life in Central Oregon.

    GLCO 27 ~ From doodling in the margins of a small community to growing up and going big with artist Adam Haynes

    For me his art conjures up images of MC Escher, Japanese Block Art, Go Pro, and a quirky, yet fun sense of humor like Where’s Waldo.  It also gives a sense of serious whimsy due to its sophisticated delivery of boyhood dreams.    Adam Haynes is an artist raised in the quiet community of Camp Sherman.   He has gone on to do work for Nike, Adidas, Patagonia, ESPN, Specialized, Deschutes Brewery, and many more.  Between the diapers, paint and snowboarding, he has learned a thing or two about living the Good Life.

    GLCO 23 ~ How she became a modern day, barefoot, acoustic, “International” troubador and athlete with my buddy Beth Wood

    Beth makes a living touring the nation playing music and making folks feel good.  Join us as she explains why she always plays barefoot and as I convince her that her music extends to international waters…    Buddy Beth Wood is also the first non-Central Oregon resident guest on the show.  However, she has become so integrated into some of Central Oregon’s premier events, playing the Sisters Folk Festival, hosting the Sunday Community Celebration and staffing the Americana Song Academy, that she is practically family and therefore kicks off our Friends of Central Oregon category.     Beth has been blessed with the gift of song and story and shares with us her path, her struggles and her triumphs.  She also shares how she “wrote her own story” as she broke the mold by also becoming an athlete.   Check out her music at www.bethwoodmusic.com or come see her in September when she returns to the Sisters Folk Festival (www.sistersfolkfestival.org)
