Episode 8: Is NOT the right answer! With Jonathan Leffingwell
Married couples do a multitude of things to work on solidifying their marriages... some go to marriage counseling, others attend weekly prayer services. But over the last 5 years me and my wife have become regulars doing pop culture trivia every Wednesday night, and this has become our couples therapy.
Join me this week as I interview Jonathan Leffingwell, IT professional during the day, and trivia master and entertainer for Trivia Nation at night! Each week Jonathan acts as a "couples councilor" for us as well as various other teams!
We delve into Jonathans background, discuss what sparked his interest in trivia and what led him to becoming a trivia nation host. With it we discuss the important traits Trivia Hosts should have as well as memorable, and sometimes inappropriate moments hosting and playing trivia!
In addition to this we also discuss the pros and cons of being a remote worker and how, while it sounds ideal, it may not be for everyone!
Buckle up everyone and lets get ready to play!

Episode 5: My Solo Yacht Excursion
Join me on my first SOLO flight this episode as I guide you through the soothing waves of Yacht Rock, sharing tales of my own life's journey alongside the genre's mellow tunes. This episode isn't just a musical expedition; it's a personal odyssey reflecting on how these jazz-tinged melodies have been my steadfast companion, from the sun-soaked shores of Southern California to quiet moments of introspection. You'll get an earful of nostalgia, a peek into my transition from the Navy to the FAA, and why Yacht Rock's velvety harmonies have been more than just a playlist – they've been a lifeline through life's peaks and troughs.
As your Xennial Aviator, I'm set to unravel the tapestry of Yacht Rock's smoothest hits, dissecting Kenny Loggins' velvety , to the Doobie Brothers' soulful anthems. We'll reminisce over Christopher Cross's "Sailing" and parse the intricate web of collaborations that tie these artists together. But it's not all serious business – I'll debunk a common genre myth and finally set the record straight on Jimmy Buffett's place in Yacht Rock history.
Before we make our approach to paradise, a shout-out to all you five-star reviewers and my call to arms: let's make this podcast the talk of the marina! If you're ready to trade in your life vest for a lei and a chilled beverage, you won't want to miss a beat of this episode. So tune in, cast off your worries, and let's find that perfect breeze to carry us into the serene harbors of Yacht Rock.
