    #15 - Amanda Anderson | Getting Started in Stand-Up Comedy

    Amanda Anderson's got a story or four to tell... and she's learned anytime we're feeling down, stressed, or drained, that laugher truly is the best medicine. Amanda talks to me about breaking into the comedy club scene and starting from zero as a budding stand-up comic via her first improve class.

    Wearing a dozen different hats through different jobs and careers has given Amanda a curious look at lots of unique life situations. She's managed events for a multi-million dollar non-profit, worked on a Presidential campaign and co-founded a successful food truck.

    Join Amanda and I, as she shares some stories from one of her most unique jobs, and asks herself if lying dead face down in a rock quarry may actually be an improvement! (She's fine, don't worry)...

    You can see Amanda perform every so often and and especially at "Comedy Key West," an entertainment company that specializes in showcasing the best in live stand up comedy and original films in Key West, Florida.

    #13 - Erika Rosenkranse | Embrace Being a "Science Nerd" and Being a Girl Who Loves Fast Cars!

    Erika Rosenkranse is perfectly comfortable being both a "science nerd" and a "gear head."

    From spending one day mapping the genome of fruit flies, to the next day trading in her lab coat for a leather jacket and hopping on a motorcycle, Erika likes to keep herself from fitting into a box.

    Erika shares why her science work just may fix some major health problems we have today, and why there's nothing quite like pushing a muscle car to it's full potential. Vroooom!

    One day she'll be "Dr." Erika Rosenkranse. You heard it here first.
