We never know what people are going through.  While my friend Shasta was consistently being named by her peers as the person they most looked up to, she was mired in a rough marriage, depression, and anxiety that left her crying in the shower in the morning askingi herself "why am I so stupid?"

Listen in as Shasta Grifka, Community Relations Coordinator at WAVE (Western Washtenaw Area Value Express) shares her personal journey to defining her happiness, personal growth, finding true love, raising leaders, and truly Becoming The Person That People See.

Grab a cup of Lions Breath coffee and prepare to get grounded...okay okay electrical pun and dad joke aside this episode is a game changer!

It only took 1 year for Mike Noonan to know that, while he loved playing baseball, college was not for him. This week on Coffee & Grit, I sit down with Mike Noonan, owner of Noonan Electrical Services, to discuss his path from electrician to entrepreneur and building the dream life. During their chat, they also talk about the importance of teamwork, and how being part of a sports team can teach valuable lessons about interacting with coworkers and management, leading to a more successful career. They also talk about the importance of getting and staying healthy, not just for you, but for your family and friends.
