Katie Webb is a witch, paranormal investigator, and divination enthusiast. You might recognize her from her work on the web series, Haunt ME, where she was recognized for blending witchcraft and divination in with traditional investigation methods. Webb is regularly reading cards at paranormal, horror, and comic conventions around the country.

We talk about "the unknown" and I even get my first ever tarot reading during the show!

One fateful night at an MMA event her freshman year of college changed everything…

A one time cheerleader and gymnast, now fighting at a high level on season 30 of ESPN+'s The Ultimate Fighter:
Kaytlin "Katniss" Neil, a member of Team Nunes, joins me on the show today- and we talk about her journey, her utilization of social media, and she does her best to keep from spilling any beans.. ;-)

ebraskans for Medical Marijuana is a movement consisting of families and patients fighting for compassion, while supporting two complementary ballot measures to put medical cannabis on the November 2022 Nebraska ballot.

This group’s advocacy seeks out safe access to medical cannabis that can bring relief to people who are suffering in Nebraska..

Joining me on the show is Lia Post, an advocate and volunteer for this organization. We talk about what they are trying to accomplish in 2022, and breifly touch on what happened in 2020 to keep it off the ballot then..

In all my years of watching MMA, I don't know if I've ever seen the intensity of a "specific" spectator like this... In this case, the spectator just so happened to be UFC Boss Dana White, in this current season (season 30) of The Ultimate Fighter. Episode 6 featured a continuation of the rivalry between Julianna Miller and "Grizzly" Claire Guthrie.
And they put on a show...
Claire is a member of Team Amanda Nunes, and also a team member of Elevation Fight Team based out of Colorado.
I had a fun conversation with Claire, and I'm excited to see what the next 6 months brings!!

I love seeing friends do amazing things.
Just this last week, a group of friends did such an amazing thing. Midwestern country band, Sack of Lions, just released a phenomenal new single: "Take Me Away." I've had the pleasure of knowing the guys for many years and have watched their journey with excitement. Band leader, Dan Olsen, joins me to talk about the band's journey, the new single, Below Deck, and we discuss how marketing has changed for bands in recent years.

17 Seconds….
That's all the time it took for my next guest to finish his last opponent in March of 2022. He is young, driven, and motivated. A lovely girlfriend and baby girl at home giving his fighting journey a new sense of purpose.
I'd like to welcome MMA Featherweight Carlos Calderon to the show, he's a member of Elevation Fight Team and trains with good friends of the show at High Altitude Martial Arts in Aurora, Colorado. This is a quick listen but totally worth it.

It's been a while since I've done a solo episode.
..and this one, while not intending to be a cry for pitty or sympathy, has a little more of a somber tone.
I've been having a lot of weird dreams lately-- combined with the passing of a loved one and some issues in regard to how family matters have defined my life: I'm taking the opportunity to purge and reveal some things about my life that give a little insight to who I am, and what events have defined me- as I search for the perspective of living in the "now.."

Gymnast. Judoka. Cheerleader. Stuntwoman. MMA Fighter.
How could one person find the tenacity to not only do all these things, but also be a standout in all?? Heart.
Pauline "Pita" Macias has been an athlete her whole life; competing and consistently winning at all levels. She's got a great story, including how a well-known friend gave her the nudge into this next chapter.
Normally, I don't add a lot of personal commentary in episodes- but I had a blast having this conversation- and I think you will also by listening to it!

In the construct of hip hop music, quality always comes down to “the elements..”
With a precise focus on the small details that separate the “good” from “the great.”

For over 20 years, DJ Abilities has focused on the craft and art-form- refining his vision, and demonstrating the importance of quality over quantity.

First gaining notoriety as half of the duo: Eyedea and Abilities, he has built an incredible resume while maintaining a duality as both musician and producer.

He just completed a tour with The Far Side (formerly of the Pharcyde), and last fall released the stellar solo album- Phonograph Pheonix. Just recently, a 20th anniversy re-release of E&A's "First Born" was brought into the world; and the excitement of all things surrounding D.J. Abilities makes this episode a great listen.
