Determination to Succeed with Grandad Steve Snyder
Steve Snyder details his many careers from chicken processing as a kid to five years in the Army and later to restaurant and club management, fatherhood, cooking Swiss turkeys in Turkey and business, as well as giving insight into finding and losing love, including his foray into online dating.
P.S. If you don’t know what SOS - Stuff on a Shingle - is, picture a piece of buttered toast smothered in a thick, creamy meat gravy. No wonder Mrs. Eisenhower would’ve been worried!

Customer Reviews
I love this
I love this podcast. Heartwarming and sweet, this pod puts a smile on your face. Kitty does a great job! We all need to just be quiet more often and listen to our elders talk!
Just too sweet
I love these stories. Do often they go untold. Love!
So authentic and genuine.
Kitty has a natural knack for storytelling and guiding these stories so authentically. I love this podcast and its intention to tell stories we all hope to preserve from our own grandparents and elders. This is perfect if you’re looking for a listen to hear really personal stories and make you feel “at home.”
