Danger: High Voltage! with CJ Hawkinson Ramble by the River

Local business owner and longtime friend of the show CJ Hawkinson stops by with a few bottles of top-shelf whiskey and some delightful conversation. CJ talks about his rise through the ranks of Ford Electric to become a part-owner of the company in 2019, his son Gabe's life-threatening heart condition that led to neonatal heart surgery just hours after birth, and he recounts many glorious tales from Ilwaco High School.
Some topics you will hear:
Jeff and CJ try several high-end whiskeys as they recount their first time using tobacco as kids.Countless stories about our wacky PNW childhoods.Jeff's neighbor/nemesis becomes a murder.CJ finds something under an oven that you will never forget.A rat loses his life because of his sloppy electrical repair techniques.The typical home range of an adult male cougar.
This episode also features a short appearance by Elsa Linquist.
CJ has been a friend for a very long time (not to mention a supporter of the podcast) and I had a blast making this with him. I hope you enjoy!
