Caught By Happy

Julie and Matt grew up together, but instead of reminiscing about old times Julie opens up about her experience meeting orphaned children in Russia and how it changed the trajectory and purpose of her life. The experiences in Russia inspired her to take action here in the United States, and she founded a nonprofit that identifies and addresses circumstances that could result in mothers abandoning their children. Because of this work, and her dedication to finding solutions to big problems, she took it a step further, focusing on the larger issues that lead to women being caught up in this vicious cycle, like mental illness, addiction, and poverty.

Matt sits down - through the magic of Skype - with an old friend from his TV production days to talk about how he went from working in creative services, to starting a social media company, to becoming an author on Idaho beer brewing. Steve's a funny guy who has a lot - a lot - to say about everything and anything under the sun, from getting fired from a few TV stations to writing competing newspaper columns with former Detroit Lions quarterback Rodney Peete. He's an interesting fella, that's for sure.

Interested in Steve's book about craft beer in Idaho and want to contribute to his quarterly $0.03 royalty check? It's on Amazon.
