Absolute B.S. with Brad and Steve

The second time is always better, and for this episode of Absolute BS with Brad and Steve, we are once again joined by Executive Coach and new author, Barbara Rapaport.

We further our discussion about mental health, cancer and what the future holds, in a more introspective episode. There’s even a little free therapy in there for you all.

We invite you to stick around and learn more about this Grand Rapids legend, as she forces us to learn a little more about ourselves.

We like clothes…and we like Michigan. On this episode on Absolute B.S., we explore what it means to love both as we talk to Scott Zubrickas, the co-owner of The Mitten State, West Michigan’s premiere spot for uniquely Michigan-branded clothing and the ‘best apparel in the country.’

Join us as we take a deeper dive into a story of Michigan; and a story of how two friends created one of the most recognized Midwest operations, which now, reaches all the way across the country. It’s all the typical B.S. but this time-with a little something special.

For the month of April and May, Absolute B.S. with Brad and Steve has worked with The Mitten State to give all our listeners free shipping off any order. Listen throughout the episode for the code.

In this episode of Absolute B.S,. we're joined by community treasure and media personality: Jennifer Pascua!

Jen takes us through her full career, from teaching college classes on ‘pandemic-friendly’ digital platforms, to tumbling over trash cans on live television-she certainly gives us a unique perspective! We then get real; diving into her brushes with racial stereotypes, both public and private, as Jennifer highlights some of the toxicity in the television business. And as usual, we’ll discover just how ‘date-able’ Jen is!

In this episode, we dig into her humble beginnings as a cheerleader, turned professional G.R. Rampage dancer, turned... ‘eye-candy’ for an Elvis Costello concert? 

Then we pivot, or as Keri likes to call it “turning Pos de Bourree,” to her current career at Special Occasions, LLC. Find out why she and her biz partner started an event company just prior to a pandemic and how events are still produced and catered. 

Lastly, stick around for some insightful questions about her ‘date-ability,’ and find out how her modeling career was boosted by kid’s toilet accessories.

Happy New Year from Absolute B.S. with Brad and Steve. Coming out of whatever that was last year, we’re starting out 2021 with an ABS-mini! Spotlighting local businesses, for this ‘divergence’ we’re talking to GreenFrog Stills and Motion, a local resource for photography and videography. Join us, Jeff Hage and Seth Thompson,  for a brief look into the how’s and why’s of their business, how they’ve survived a pandemic, and why in 2021 captured images will be more important than ever! It’s a little dose of B.S. to tide you over. 

Absolute B.S. with Brad and Steve is back in the studio, and we’re social distancing hard! This time we are joined by the philanthropic force that is Chris Andrus. Entrepreneur, brew-master, and ‘dough’ maker extraordinaire, Chris opens up about bad music, how ‘not’ to act in a restaurant, and why being a philanthropic business isn’t a hard as you might think. Sit back, take your mask off, and be educated! 

Absolute B.S. with Brad and Steve is back in the studio. Sitting roughly 5’9” away, we are joined by the indomitable force that is, Guillermo Cisneros. Join us as the Director of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce takes us on a journey from Mexico to Spain-onto Portugal, and then the Home Depot. It’s about personal struggle, pandemics, and Superman. It’s also the first time we leave a guest speechless with one of our “Are you Dateable” questions.

Day 3,122 of a global pandemic finds us talking to the spirited Angela Nelson, Director of Diversity and Inclusion, Vice President of Multicultural Business Development at Experience Grand Rapids. There’s that, and an exhaustive list of other leadership positions, entrepreneurial goals achieved, and life accomplishments. One of Grand Rapids ‘50 most influential women’ breaks down, marketing a city during a pandemic, thoughtfully addresses the civil unrest in the country, and proves to be our most ‘datable’ guest yet!
