CY6 - Check Your Six

Deborah and Charles Morris with Keller Advantage Realty stopped in to the GRP Studios for the 102nd episode of the Check Your Six podcast. We talked about some of the "advantages" of having a realty "team" like Charles and Deborah, client expectations of realtors and well as a conversation about abundance vs scarcity. Covered some of the mistakes that both home buyers and sellers sometimes make in the home transaction process and a view that most don't see with realtors and the "competition". They also talked about what they do to give back to the community that they serve.
Also gave a shout out to "Doc" and Raniey Nave with B.A.T. Bikers Against Trafficking as well as my son Austin and his "Frightmares" podcast.

The one hundred and first episode of the CY6 - Check Your Six podcast brought a couple of brothers in the faith into the GRP Studios to talk about 24Flix, the International Christian Film & Music Festival and a variety of other topics. Marty Jean-Louis, Chris Cuff and I have know each other for more than a decade that all started with the little My Christian Films production studio in Orlando. Marty and Chris talked about why they do what they do, some of the challenges they have in all of their projects as well the response that comes from the work they do. It was great getting to sit down with both of them  and catch up on what they are doing as well as looking forward to the 11th Annual International Christian Film & Music Festival in May.

Episode 100 of the Check Your Six podcast brought Dr. Richard Bocco in to the GRP Studios to talk about Seminole Integrative Medicine in Casselberry. It wasn't just about cracking some bones, we talked a lot about some of the misconceptions that people have about chiropractic services, some of the challenges that have in overcoming some of those misconceptions along with team building, holistic healing, and a variety of other topics. We talked about some of the things that we put in our bodies and then wonder why they are not healing or acting like we think. Masking the pain with pharmaceutic solutions instead of finding the source of the pain and treating the problem. A discussion on some of our favorite fast food, some of which have been sitting in his office for 5 YEARS uncovered and have not deteriorated or grown moldy, and the obvious inability for the host to get out the word strategy!!!

Episode 99 of the Check Your Six podcast was a road trip to Body Street in Winter Park. I sat down with one of the owners, Steffen Brant and studio manager Dylan Ellis-Burtenshaw, to get the info on this one of a kind(for now) workout facility in Winter Park. Body Street is another member of the Seminole Chamber of Commerce and have had several members of the Chamber go through their program. Learned a lot from both of them why even though it is a "shocking" experience, it really is a great way to get a full body workout done once a week. Even though it almost sounds too good to be true, give them a try and it will make a difference.

Been a while since we have been in the podcast facility at GRP Studios in Longwood, but Episode 98 of the Check Your Six podcast was fantastic. I had Nikki Coppola with the National Ovarial Cancer Coalition(NOCC) in the studio along with her very special guest, a breast cancer and ovarian cancer survivor Barbara Kramer.
I learned a lot with these two women in the studio, first about the silence that comes with ovarian cancer and the other is the fighter mentality that both of these women possess. Nikki has a servants heart and a passion for helping others in creating hope and a better life for victims of all kinds of circumstances. Barbara was incredible just in the way that she described some of the things that she has gone through. Everyone knows about other cancers but it seems that ovarian cancer does not get the recognition and can be a tremendously challenging battle for women. Loved being able to talk with these two women and do what we can to bring attention to this terrible disease.

Episode 97 had a very special guest in the GRP Studios for the Check Your Six podcast with the new President/CEO of Camp Boggy Creek, Dr. Dan Jurman. Camp Boggy Creek has always been one of my favorite places and GRP Studios loves supporting the Camp through several of their fundraisers. Great conversation about where Dr. Jurman has been,  his background, his leadership style and what he sees as the future for the Camp. It was great getting to know him and how he works as well as learning about some of his passions, including being a fan of scary films, wasn't expecting that, as well as his plans for more books in addition to the couple that he has already authored. Looking forward to what the future holds for the Camp and the amount of children and families that will continue to be impacted by this fantastic place.

Stuart Peisner dropped by GRP Studios for Episode 96 of the Check Your Six Podcast to talk about working in the residential mortgage industry. A graduate of both UF and UCF I suppose that make him a Gatorknight or a Knightgator but either way, we had some conversation about what he does, some of the issues and challenges he has working in this industry and how much he loves what he does. Talked a bit about the 2008-2009 housing market compared to today's issues, how they are different, what is similar if anything and some of the changes that had been made to help insure that the 2008 circumstances do not repeat themselves. It took a while for us to get him on the program, seemed like something always came up that conflicted with our schedules but finally we were able to get him in and get this done. Yes, Stuart is a member of the Seminole Chamber, in fact he is currently an Ambassador the the Chamber so it is another business that we have been able to highlight!!

Episode 95 of the Check Your Six Podcast brought Jason Arthur into the GRP Studios to talk about business coaching. Jason grew up working in the family owned business and had first hand experience how a business operates, especially contracting. Jason has used his education, his experience to help create and develop a plan to help those businesses in the contracting industry to grow and be more profitable. Lots of conversation about things like the differences in similar construction trades even within the same state, the benefits of belonging to a local Chamber, if it is one that actually helps business and is not just a social club, some of the questions that he asks  in working with business owners. Of course, his recommendations about belonging to the Chamber had nothing to do with his wife Rebekah being the Executine Vice President of the Seminole Chamber, that was a total coincidence!!

Episode 94 of the Check Your Six podcast was all about wrasslin' with Daniel Max Shaw, the President of New American Pro Wrestling, Inc. Besides being a certified health insurance agent, Daniel has sent nearly 11 years working with and for various wrestling federation as a ring announcer and interviewer. We did discuss his health insurance business but most of the conversation revolved around the state of wrestling, how he is involved, some of the experiences he has had and what he sees as the future of the industry. Received a lot of information about how the system works, how the wrestlers can advance, where they can learn the trade and other details about the business. No one was body slammed or hit with a folding chair so it all worked out pretty good!!

Episode 93 of the Check Your Six Podcast brought Kate Olson into the GRP Studios and no, it wasn't that Kate Olson, it was the other 3rd cousin, twice removed on her mothers side!! Actually it was just Kate Elizabeth Olson, the owner of Your CBD Store in Longwood FL. Kate was in the studio to talk about starting and running a CBD Store and some of the challenges that she faces that might be somewhat different from other businesses like what they can actually say and not say at Your CBD Store. Compliance is a big issues in what she can tell customers that come into the store looking at what they can provide for a variety of aliments. The "stigma" of what the business is and the hesitation of some to even come into the store because they think they are entering a hookah lounge, smoke or vape shop. Interesting discussion about things that I was not aware of but now I know!!
